House bill could allow universities to grow hemp

STATE OF THE UNION

BY D. B. NARVESON @dbnarveson Universities in Louisiana might soon be able to legally research and grow marijuana’s cousin, the fibrous hemp plant, for industrial and agricultural uses.

The House of Representatives passed HB 1085 by Rep. Jack Montoucet, R-Crowley, 67-25, setting up a pathway for college agriculture centers around the state to begin growing the hemp plant, which has been illegal in Louisiana for several years.

There is a similar measure, HB 1099, by Rep. Major Thibaut, R-New Roads, that would permit the same institutions to cultivate and wholesale marijuana for medical use. That bill has passed one committee and awaits a hearing before the Appropriations Committee.

Gabrielle Union addresses sexual assault, self-confidence in presentation

BY LAUREN HEFFKER | @laurheffker Actress and social activist Gabrielle Union came to the University not as a character, but as her genuine self on Wednesday.

A Q&A-style speech was hosted in the PMAC by the Gamma Zeta chapter of Delta Gamma Fraternity with Union as the key speaker. This served as part

of their Lectureship in Values and Ethics national program.

The lectureship was the fourth done

by Delta Gamma at the University, with others in 2008, 2011 and 2013. The Delta Gamma Foundation gives grants to 19 campuses around the country to fund the program, which was

Student awarded fellowship for contribution to nuclear physics

BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano Second-year nuclear physics Ph.D. candidate Erin Good is helping expand the boundaries of nuclear physics research.

Good was recently awarded one of seven Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowships from the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration for her thesis proposal, which involves exploring the origins of elements as they synthesize in stars.

She said her research is exciting because it combines theory

with hands-on experience to explore an area with little predetermined knowledge. The motivation to discover something new makes the work interesting, she said.

“We know some stuff, but we don’t know nearly as much as we think we do,” Good said.

Her graduate adviser, physics assistant professor Catherine Deibel, said that while Good’s research focus is important, the real significance of her work comes from the detectors she is developing.

Good’s detectors will be incorporated in a spectrograph that will measure reactions inside a

particle accelerator at Florida State University. The spectrograph is used in a process called particle spectroscopy, which measures the reactions of light charged particles to gather information about their nuclear structure and reaction rates, Deibel said.

The spectrograph, including Good’s detectors, will play a key role in helping the United States regain significant nuclear physics research capabilities, Deibel said.

In recent years, federal funding for nuclear physics research

has waned, and in 2011 Yale University’s particle accelerator and spectrograph were dismantled.

The accelerator-spectrograph pairing was the last of its kind in the United States, Deibel said.

Researchers seeking facilities with the same capabilities were forced to travel to South Africa, Munich, Germany and Osaka, Japan to conduct their research.

Now, the spectrograph from Yale’s dismantled accelerator is being installed at FSU, and particle spectroscopy research can resume in the United States, she said.

The research, with the help of Good’s detectors, should be better than ever, Deibel said.

“The improvements that she’s making to the detector systems that go along with the spectrograph will make the device and the methods that we’re using even more powerful than they were in the first iteration of this device when it was at Yale,” Deibel said.

The improvements will allow researchers to collect more targeted isotope data to better understand the reactions that occur in extreme stellar environments. The targeted data will be key in determining how certain isotopes and elements form, she said.

The improvements are coming at the perfect time. Since the 1990s, there’s been a push to better understand nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure, and the fruits of that labor are starting to be realized, Deibel said.

“It’s a very interesting juxtaposition between a field that’s been around for essentially one hundred years — since Rutherford split the atom — but is now sort of embarking on this new phase,” she said. “We’re able to start accessing a lot more of what’s available or what needs to be accessed to understand stellar synthesis.”

Good said she hopes to continue pursuing research after she completes her doctorate at the University.

While the exact path Good hopes to pursue is undetermined, Deibel said her incredible success as a graduate student is preparing her for a successful future in nuclear physics.

for sailing equipment, clothing and rope, but since it is a member of the cannabis plant family, it was made illegal. Rep. Dorothy Hill, D-Dry Creek said when she was in college, students studied hemp as a fabric in her textiles class.

Rep. Nancy Landry reminded legislators of how useful the hemp plant can be because it creates more fiber for fabric or paper per acre than cotton or trees. She also noted that the levels of THC, the chemical in marijuana that produces a high, are significantly lower in hemp.

Hemp was first introduced into the U.S. during the 16th century.

“Did you know, we already sell hemp fabric in our stores?”

Landry asked. “And that, if they wanted to someone could buy a hemp t-shirt at the Whole Foods and put that in a pipe and smoke it?”

“Gabrielle Union is wellknown for having overcome adversity and is seen as a role model to young women everywhere,” Delta Gamma director of public relations Marissa Torres said. “As a campus community, we had some very serious conversations recently regarding sexual assault, and we saw this as a way to bring national recognition to a conversation already happening on our campus and within the Greek community.”

Union shared her story of sexual assault, explaining that she was raped at 19 years old during a robbery at her parttime summer job. She said she became an activist for sexual assault survivors and women’s health after her experience.

Rep. Jack Montoucet, R - Crowly, presents his bill to legalize hemp production for universities before the House of Representatives.

“If you have information you know could potentially change, or alter or inspire … if I have a rope that I could toss out and save somebody, and I choose not to, I’m a bad person,” Union said. “My journey is now part of my DNA, and I just want to share that with you guys.”

She said she was very aware of her victimhood following the incident and still is. Union said every day she gets closer to taking back her voice and her power. She encouraged community support of sexual assault survivors.

“Give a damn before it happens to you,” Union said. “You don’t need to be the victim or have it happen to someone in your family or one of your friends for you to care about sexual assault.”

She discussed the necessity of self-love and staying true to oneself.

Union said her parents told her as a child that she had to be bigger, badder and better just to be considered equal. This led to intense insecurities and lack of confidence throughout her life, but now, she no longer feels the need for validation from anyone.

“I can say now, at 43, after

doing a lot of work on myself, I am finally embracing my authentic, genuine self, and that self is a decent human being,” Union said.

With a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of California at Los Angeles, Union said she never envisioned the path her career would take post graduation.

After Sabadie and Union’s interview, the floor was opened to the crowd for questions, and many attendees asked questions pertaining to Union’s success as an African-American woman and how the attitude toward sexual assault should change.

Union is also an ambassador for the Young Survival Coalition and Susan G. Komen, as well as a host for sexual violence awareness discussions at the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA. “Lectureship is a great way of making a scary subject like sexual assault less intimidating by opening a dialogue that pushes to break the stigma and empower community members,” Torres said. “One of the many values Delta Gamma was founded on was hope and hope is what I want people to get.”

Bouncing Back

BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshT_TDR

Injured sprinter makes comeback to the track

BY JOURDAN RILEY | @jourdanr_TDR

LSU junior sprinter Tremayne Acy had to give up on his dream of playing football.

Acy, the “most talented” athlete on LSU’s track and field team to many, had the athleticism for many sports but was often told he was too small.

During his time playing football, he faced repeated injuries, including a broken collarbone and ankle.

“When I was 15, we had a football game and I broke my ankle and I said I was done with it,” Acy said. “So when my ankle healed, I said I was just going to stick with track … Track is my passion. I’ve been running since I was 5 years old. It’s something I’ve been doing all my life.”

With both of his parents having run track in their youth, the sport had always surrounded him, and it finally seemed like the right fit for the young Acy. But his collegiate track career was halted.

The Dallas native failed to finish running in the preliminary round of the 200-meter dash after he injured his hamstring on Feb. 26 at the Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships.

Bouncing back from a sports-related injury is hard to do and most times doesn’t happen quick. For Acy that wasn’t an option. He had to rebound.

“When I got hurt it was like a big depression mode for me,” Acy said. “I was pretty much at home sitting watching TV a lot sitting on the couch ... I had to get over it eventually. I know I couldn’t sit and be depressed all day.”

Acy said he knew the injury wouldn’t last forever but he needed to live a healthier lifestyle, which included spending time with his daughter Trinity, who lives in Dallas.

“She takes all my money, but it’s great having a daughter,” he said jokingly.

Drills to regain strength in his leg, visiting the training room two or three times a day and a small surgery on his hamstring led to his recovery.

The Tigers welcomed Acy back for the first time in two months at the Texas Invitational on April 16.

Acy returned to the 4x100 team as third leg to team up with sprinters junior Tinashe Mutanga, freshman Jaron Flournoy and junior Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake.

The quadruplet won the men’s 4x100-meter relay title while posting a new NCAA-leading time of 38.95 seconds.

The No. 12 LSU softball team won its 14th-straight game against an in-state opponent with its 5-2 win against McNeese State at Tiger Park on Tuesday.

The victory moves the Tigers’ (37-13, 10-11 Southeastern Conference) record to 10-0 in midweek games and to 26-8 at home.

LSU coach Beth Torina said she was impressed with her team’s aggression at the plate early in the midweek, nonconference matchup.

“That’s always our plan,” Torina said. “When our team scores first, we’re really successful. It gives our pitching staff and our defense a little room to breathe.”

To combat LSU’s strong offensive start, McNeese State (3311, 18-3 Southland) didn’t have an answer for LSU sophomore pitcher Carley Hoover.

The Cowgirls struck out four times and only mustered two hits in the on Tuesday.

Hoover pitched a complete game and attributed her performance to senior catcher Kellsi Kloss and Torina for “calling a great game.”

“Kellsi was working real hard for me behind the plate,” Hoover said. “Coach was calling really good pitches. I was just trying to put it in the spot and mix it up a little bit.”

While Hoover took care of things in the circle, the LSU offense continued to handle its business at the plate.

The Tigers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning, never to relinquish its lead.

LSU would add a run in the bottom of the second and in the bottom of the fifth to pad its lead, 5-0.

Junior first baseman Sahvanna Jaquish was a standout on offense for the Tigers. The Highland, California native was 2-for-4 swinging the bat including three RBIs, which Torina said was because of her plate discipline.

“Just taking it one pitch at time really,” Jaquish said about her offense. “Being smooth and working on the things that I’ve been working on in practice and having a lot of confidence in my team.”

Behind Jaquish, senior third baseman Bianka Bell re-wrote

Grayson hosted Acy when he visited LSU during a recruiting trip his senior year of high school. Acy fit in with the fun-loving, “crazy” team, Grayson said. At the same time, Grayson appreciated that he took his athletic career seriously, too.

“When he got hurt — ­ sometimes it’s easy to get down

on yourself — but I always try to motivate him and say ‘Remember Trinity. That’s who you’re doing it for,’” Grayson said.

Mutanga, Flournoy, MitchellBlake and Acy teamed up again to turn in another national-leading time at the LSU Alumni Gold meet on April 23 when they ran a time of 38.94 seconds in the men’s 4x100-

meter relay.

“I think he’s worked extremely hard to get himself prepared for outdoors,” said LSU coach Dennis Shaver. “Certainly he creates a little energy and I know he’s gaining more and more confidence but I don’t think he ever really lacked in believing in what it is he can do, I think it was more of being

healthy enough to do it.”

Acy said he is confident he will be back better than ever and he has big plans.

Acy hopes to win the team championship with his teammates and win an individual in either the 100 or 200-meter dash.

He also sees himself going to the Olympics in the future.

maintain the record, the Tampa, Florida, native said she has eyes on a bigger prize.

“At the end of the day I really want a national title,” Bell said.

“All the individual accolades are cool, but I want the team aspect, more so than myself.”

The Tigers’ 11 hits were the

most they have accumulated in one game since April 17 against Mississippi State.

In the past during midweek matchups, LSU’s inability to take advantage of runners in scoring position had been an issue this season.

But it wasn’t on Tuesday.

LSU was 4-for-10 with

runners in scoring position, which furthered Torina’s pleasure of gaining a win against a “tough” McNeese State team.

“It was a tough game,” Torina said. “McNeese is a tough opponent. There were some things we would probably like to do better, we fought and it’s a quality win for our team.”

The Tigers current sevengame winning streak is its longest since the 18-game win streak, which ended on March 12.

LSU will be back in action again on Friday, when the team travels to Fayetteville, Arkansas, for a three-game series with the Razorbacks.

Harriet Tubman, ‘Lemonade’ will not usher in instant equality MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS @ClarkePerkins

Last week was so pro-black, and I’m here for it.

However, the past few days don’t automatically create equality among the races.

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew announced Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson as the face of the $20 bill. Jackson is moving to the back.

It brings a smile to my face picturing the reaction of every racist person when they receive a Tubman bill in the checkout line at grocery stores.

Yes, the lady on your money helped many of your ancestors’ slaves escape. Isn’t that fantastic?

I’m in agreement with every other black person on Facebook. If you’d like to discard your fresh $20 bill, I’ll happily accept it.

And when you thought the black praise couldn’t get any better, Beyoncé released her sixth studio album, “Lemonade.”

Beyoncé has always been the celebrity everyone loved. She played it safe and catered to all

people. But now, you’d think she was president on the last year of her last term, clearing her mind as if it was a now or never situation.

She’s finally keeping everything real, creating music with messages the black community has wanted for years. She’s speaking the truth on black issues such as gender equality, relationships and injustices.

Beyoncé is one of the most powerful black women in the world, and the fact that she has practically dedicated a whole album to black culture is phenomenal.

Blacks: 2, racists: 0.

Please note: this count is probably not accurate when you factor in all the black people who were either killed or wrongfully imprisoned last week.

Still, seeing black heroes and international celebrities at the forefront of the media is wonderful.

Now, more people will know about the underground railroad. More people will learn about black mothers grieving the loss of their sons killed from police brutality.

Between Harriet Tubman and Beyoncé, the world is recognizing black history,

culture and issues.

Last week’s events created more conversations to be had.

We must remember that, as amazing as this recognition is, the black community still faces inequalities among the school system, prison system, justice system and just about every other American system.

Black people weren’t suddenly made equal when Pres.

Barack Obama was elected, and they’re not suddenly made equal because Tubman’s face will be on American currency.

The University had a black homecoming queen and king, but minority students didn’t suddenly feel more comfortable on campus.

However, I’m sure equality is what America wants black people to believe.

I can already hear the future responses the next time another police officer kills a black boy and the black community complains about injustice. “Your president is black, and Harriet Tubman is on the face on the $20 bill for crying out loud!”

Soon the $20 bill will become supposed proof for some that there is no reason for black people to “whine” about equality.

Let’s continue to draw more attention to racial injustice by

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew decided to put Tubman on the $20 bill, making her the first woman on U.S. paper currency in 100 years. voting and continuing to educate ourselves on where black people stand in America.

If we don’t educate ourselves, it will be easy to believe last week’s praise instantly made us equal to our white counterparts.

The black community has a

duty to keep the conversation going, implement change and not become satisfied with recognition through currency or a new album.

Legislature should give formerly incarcerated a chance BEYER’S REMORSE

MICHAEL BEYER @michbeyer The Louisiana House of Representatives voted 53-39 to give formerly incarcerated people a better chance at finding a job with certain state agencies. Now it’s time for the State Senate to follow.

The House voted Tuesday that the state cannot ask about an applicant’s criminal history on a job application. “Banning the box” would them the option of getting to the interview process in a state job.

The question, “Do you have a criminal history?” can be the difference between a person being hired or their application being thrown in the trash.

Formerly incarcerated people

often have a tough time seeking employment and returning to life outside prison. Banning the box would give many workers who interacted with the punishment system a fair chance.

Many cities around the country have “ban the box” policies to eradicate a barrier to employment for many formerly incarcerated people. A study of “help wanted” advertisements in Virginia found that out of 192,000 positions, just under 16,000, or 8.23 percent, were open to hiring formerly incarcerated applicants.

For those leaving the punishment system, asking about their criminal history makes it more difficult for formerly incarcerated people to find a job. Shouldn’t we want people who have to be able to adjust to life once they leave prison?

In Louisiana, this isn’t a small amount of people. According to

The Advocate, Louisiana locked up approximately 40,000 people in 2014, which has helped the state earn the title of the nation and world’s incarceration capital.

One in 86 adults in Louisiana is doing time, which is nearly double the national average, according to NOLA.com | The Times Picayune.

Our state’s harsh penalties for nonviolent drug offenders is partly why Louisiana warehouses so many people. According to NOLA.com | The Times Picayune, 64 percent of those serving time in prison are there for nonviolent drug offenses, compared to the nationwide average of 48 percent.

Banning the box isn’t only compassionate, it would help grow the economy. A 2011 Economy League of Greater Philadelphia study found

putting 100 formerly incarcerated people back to work would increase their lifetime earnings by $55 million and increase their income tax contributions by $1.9 million.

When former felons have jobs, they can help rebuild their family’s income loss that likely accrued when they were in prison.

According to a 2006 study published in the Western Criminology Review, 83 percent of family members of formerly incarcerated men provided the recently released family member with financial support.

This income loss affects incarcerated people’s social networks as well as themselves. The 2006 Western Criminology Review study also found that half of the family members who provided financial support presented financial challenges for themselves.

These families have done nothing wrong yet still pay the price long after one of their family members has left jail.

If Louisiana wants to shed its title of the world’s incarceration capital, we have to craft laws to help those who were formerly incarcerated transition into a stable quality of life, and that most certainly includes employment.

The Senate should recognize their obligation to help end the era of mass incarceration and vote to ban the box.

LSU players look on as Tulane defeats as LSU, 4-1, on April 26 in Turchin Stadium.

Caleb Gilbert replaced him after 49 pitches.

While Norman kept the Tigers within reach, France carried his dominant six-inning start in his last meeting through his first five innings of work Tuesday, retiring 14 of the first 16 batters he faced.

LSU notched a pair of singles in the fourth but was unable to advance either runners, as junior center fielder Jake Fraley was gunned out by Tulane catcher Jake Rogers on a steal attempt with one out.

Gilbert would return for the fifth and recorded the

Montalbano drove an RBI single through left side to plate Rogers, which brought out Mainieri for another pitching change.

Then, right fielder Lex Kaplan tapped a ground ball back to sophomore righty Jesse Stallings, and Stallings fired one by the glove of sophomore first baseman Greg Deichmann, allowing a run to score and putting LSU in a 3-0 hole.

baseman Hunter Hope then sent a one-out double into the leftfield corner, putting runners in scoring position. A batter later, first baseman Hunter Williams plated a run on a fielder’s choice.

Norman, though, remained unfazed in his remaining 1.2 innings, working around a twoout walk in third and punching out Hope on a 2-2 breaking ball for the second out of the fourth inning.

The strikeout of Hope, which occurred with a man in scoring position, would be the last hitter Norman would face, as Tiger freshman right-hander

NEW ORLEANS – The No. 8 LSU baseball team had no answer for No. 20 Tulane’s 6-foot-1 sophomore righty J.P. France in Baton Rouge, or 80 miles away at the Green Wave’s Turchin Stadium.

For the second time in as many meetings, France suffocated the Tiger offense, tossing 7.1 innings of one-run baseball with six strikeouts in Tulane’s 4-1 win Tuesday night.

“Like I said, you give credit where credit is due,” said junior shortstop Kramer Robertson.

“They’ve beaten twice. They outplayed us both times.”

Including the Green Wave’s 7-1 win in Baton Rouge on March 29, France has held LSU to one run and 10 hits in 13.1 innings. Tiger coach Paul Mainieri couldn’t put a finger on what France is doing to quiet his club’s bats.

“I don’t know,” Mainieri said. “He threw the ball over the plate, and we couldn’t hit him. That’s two games in a row that we just couldn’t solve him.

He threw strikes. He threw his fastball and some curve balls for strikes, and we just couldn’t square them up.”

Looking to cement a fourth starter, Mainieri gave the starting nod to sophomore righty Doug Norman, and he did his part through 3.2 innings.

Norman worked a clean, nine-pitch first inning, but a leadoff walk in the second helped Tulane scratch an early run across.

After Norman lost Green Wave center fielder Jeremy Montalbano on a full count, third

kind of in the basepath,” Stallings said. “It was kind of iffy. I mean, it was there, but, at the same time, Deichmann didn’t want to get hit [by the baserunner]. That’s part of it.

It just happens. People are going to make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. I could have made a better throw. It just was one of those bad luck things.”

Freshman infielder Brody Wofford replaced Deichmann — who is 1-for-16 with five strikeouts since a three-run home run against Southeastern — to start the bottom of the seventh.

LSU would briefly show life in the top half of the sixth, as freshman third baseman Chris Reid poked a leadoff double and freshman right fielder Antoine Duplatis pushed a one-out single into left field.

But Tulane shortstop Stephen Alemais, whose highlight double play quelled a basesloaded threat in the first game, was positioned perfectly to step on second base and turn another double play.

The Green Wave then abruptly padded their lead in bottom half of the sixth, as second baseman Jake Wilsey hammered Stallings’ 1-2 offering for a solo home run.

France continued to command in the seventh, striking out a pair in the frame and returning for the eighth on 88 pitches.

France ran into trouble when he conceded a leadoff single and a one-out walk in the eighth, ending his night on 102 pitches. But relievers Sam Bjorngjeld and Patrick Duester combined to limit LSU’s last scoring opportunity to only one run.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

College Councils hold Finals Fuel in preparation for exams

BY BETH CARTER @bethie_carter With final exams approaching at rapid speed, Student Government and the College Councils are holding their end-of-the-semester Finals Fuel for the University colleges April 25-29.

The Finals Fuel events are held by the presidents, vice presidents, and members-at-large of each college council. These SG members hand out snacks, drinks and testing materials to students in their senior colleges.

In the past, Finals Fuel events were organized by SG as a whole

and consisted of one event in a specific location on campus. This year, however, they became the responsibilities of each College Council to better accommodate students.

Vice president Lindsey Landry, who works closely with the College Councils, said Finals Fuel is a great way to meet students’ needs during one of the most stressful times of the year.

“Finals Fuel is Student Government’s way of keeping the morale up during dead week,” she said. “Students are worn out by this time in the semester, and our hope is to make their day

better by providing food and testing materials.”

The College of Agriculture held its Finals Fuel on Tuesday at noon in front of Tureaud Hall.

Agriculture education senior and member-at-large Braxton Hartshorn helped with Finals Fuel for the College of Agriculture last semester and returned to help again this semester. He said last semester he handed out about 75-80 Scantrons and even more bottles of water and snacks to students who were on their way to study for exams.

Although he and other College Council members just hand

out snacks, water and Scantrons, Hartshorn said he has seen student appreciation for the extra supplies. He noted that even these little gestures by SG can be a large help to stressed-out students.

“We’re just out here trying to serve our students and make sure they have what they need to get ready for their final exams,” he said.

Animal sciences senior Trent Dugas said the small snacks can go a long way to help students who are stressed about upcoming exams.

“I really appreciate them, especially during finals week,”

Dugas said. “When you’ve been pulling an all-nighter, most of us don’t really think about having to eat ... so it’s nice to have something to eat right before you go in to take your tests.”

Wednesday, Finals Fuel events will be held by the Colleges of Science, Business and Coast and Environment, HSE, and the Manship School of Mass Communication. UCAC and the College of Art and Design will host their events on Thursday, and Friday, UCFY will be handing out its last-minute finals snacks and resources. Locations and times can be found on SG’s social media and website.
