ith the heat of the summer in full effect, now is a better time than ever to learn how to keep pets safe in the summer heat. A few quick tips from Associate Veterinarian at the Animal Health Clinic of Baton Rouge Timothy Leonards has advice to keep pets cool during the hottest days of the year. Leonards said the most important thing to consider when a dog is in the summer heat is how the heat is dispersed from their small bodies compared to humans’ larger bodies. “We sweat from all over our bodies. Dogs can only sweat through their paws, and the only other way they can disperse the excess heat is through panting,” Leonards said. “You will see really hot dogs drooling excessively and panting really heavily. They aren’t tired, they are just trying to get rid of the excessive heat.” Part of living in the South, especially in Louisiana, is learning to deal with the heat the state is exposed to every summer. Leonards warned that when temperatures start ranging 90 degrees Fahrenheit and above, animals start to experience the effects of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. “At the very minimum, give your animals

The Women’s World Cup Final was all but over after just fifteen minutes. Many thought the game would be a competitive affair, but the United States Women’s National Team had other ideas, scoring four goals in a quarter of an hour. In fact, the showpiece finale quickly became the Carli Lloyd Show. “It’s been a long journey, my career,” Lloyd said in the team’s post-match news conference. “I’ve had people believe in me, been in my corner from day one. … I’ve dedicated my whole life to this. Everything comes second.” Lloyd struck twice in the opening five minutes, both goals dispatched from close range to give the U.S. an early lead.

Hill Memorial holds comic book exhibit tackling race, identity BY RILEY KATZ rkatz@lsureveille.com Dozens of comic book characters are dancing of the page and onto displays at Hill Memorial Library as part of a new exhibit. Graphic Sensibility, the collection of illustrations and comics located at the Hill Memorial Library, aims to make the discussion of race, identity and location more accessible through art. To show off the large collection of graphic art available in the LSU Libraries Special Collections, the library staff and guest curator and associate professor of English Brannon Costello assembled various works ranging many types of visual styles. The overarching theme of the exhibit is made to discuss diversity in illustrated works, Costello said. “The point of the exhibit is to highlight the wide variety of graphic art holdings in the libraries so it is intended to be a wide
range and diverse,” Costello said. The library incorporates comic book illustrations into the exhibit. An entire floor of the exhibition is devoted to diversity in superhero comics, with a dedicated section devoted entirely to the Fantastic Four division of graphic novels. There also is a section of comics highlighting how the South is represented in horror comics and superhero comics. “In the ‘Comics in Southern Fiction’ essay that I wrote, I talk about how the history of race in the superhero and horror genres that are set in the South are used as ways of getting at the fundamental racial tensions in American society more broadly,” Costello said. Accompanying the superhero comics on the lower floor is a section on the upper floor filled with other illustrations including political cartoons. JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille
