LSU TigerRacing Team rises in the ranks

Tucked away in the Engineering Annex Building sits a purple and gold race car named “Chelsea” — a vehicle responsible for bringing the little known LSU TigerRacing Team out of the workshop and into the limelight.

The team recently performed its best time at the Formula SAE Collegiate Design Competition in Michigan. At the Formula SAE competition in Lincoln, Nebraska,

the team placed 9th out of 65 teams competing, a feat that cut its global ranking in half, giving them an estimated rank of 56th in the world, said computer science freshman Leslie Morgan, the team’s public relations and marketing executive.

“Chelsea” is a 461-pound formula-style vehicle containing a Honda CBR F4i engine with 67 wheel horsepower, 31 pound-foot torque and max speed of a little over 100 miles per hour — all held within a carbon

TAYLOR MADE TAYLOR WILEY Writer, Copy Editor I’ve written before about how much I hate rom-coms and their recycled plot lines, but for some reason, when they come in the form of young adult novels, I’m all for it.

So call me a hypocrite, but “Maybe in Another Life” by Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of the best rom-coms I’ve ever read.

T went y-ni ne -ye a r- old Hannah Martin sets out on a mission to get her life together after breaking up a marriage and labeling herself as somewhat of a failure, wondering if everything truly happens for a reason. She leaves New York to return to California — the closest thing to home after trying to find purpose in several states — and moves in with her now-married best friend, Gabby.

Not long after she arrives in L.A., Gabby organizes a night out with new and old friends at a local bar to celebrate Hannah’s homecoming.

Throughout the night, Hannah’s eyes follow her high school ex-boyfriend, Ethan.

She’s unsure about starting up their former relationship again but enjoys herself regardless.

Hannah steps outside

for fresh air before Ethan decides to do the same. The two talk briefly until Gabby and her husband, Mark, make their exit. When Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to head home, Ethan offers to stay back with Hannah.

Conflicted with which option to choose, Hannah, who can’t decide what her favorite movie or color is, wavers.

From this point, the effects of each decision play out in two concurrent storylines. She encounters love and friendship as well as pain and suffering in both scenarios, which is as indulging as it is nervewracking.

Hannah’s a true free-spirit. She lives a life of simplicity with a top bun practically glued to her head and a cinnamon roll almost always in hand. She’s witty, straightforward and caring. This perspective shares an entertaining, relatable tale of a modern woman in a fast-paced world.

Reid’s writing encourages readers to reflect with Hannah at times. She includes this thought toward the end of the novel, digging into Hannah’s realization that “Fate or not, our lives are still the result of our choices. I’m starting to think that when we don’t own them, we don’t own ourselves.”

Taylor Wiley is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from Gonzales, Louisiana.

Last meeting with LSU:

Last meeting with LSU: Nov. 15, 2014: On a chilly

night in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a struggling Razorback team finally got its first SEC win since 2012, and it came in the form of a shutout against the Tigers. LSU was held to a season-low 123 total yards, missed two field goals and turned the ball over once in the red zone as it fell to Arkansas, 170. The Tigers were unable to get anything going on the ground as it gained just 12 rushing yards, and the offense was only 6-of-14 on third-down opportunities.

Oct. 25, 2015: In another quintessential SEC slugfest, a late LSU touchdown and two critical stops propelled the Tigers to a 10-7 win against the Rebels. LSU ran the ball 12 straight times before fooling the Ole Miss defense inside the five-yard line with a play-action touchdown pass from quarterback Anthony Jennings to tight end Logan Stokes. After LSU forced the Rebels to turn the ball over on downs in their previous possession, Ole Miss drove the ball past the 50yard line on the final possession of the game. Rebel coach Hugh Freeze elected to bring his offense back on the field instead of attempting a 47-yard field goal, resulting in an interception from quarterback Bo Wallace with two seconds remaining.

Although this game ultimately was close down the stretch, LSU dominated the Aggies on the ground, including 100-yard rushing performances from quarterback Anthony Jennings and running back Leonard Fournette, to close the regular season with 23-17 win on Thanksgiving Night.

Fournette staked his claim as a future star in college football with a bruising, 22-yard touchdown scamper, where he ran over Texas A&M safety Howard Matthews in the process. After a crucial field goal by kicker Colby Delahoussaye to put LSU up by six late in the game, the Tigers needed an interception from corner Jalen Collins to kill an Aggie drive and secure the victory.

Highs and lows of SEC Media Days, Bielema steals show

BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com For coaches, players and fans alike, Southeastern Conference Media Days ushers in a new college football season with an event worthy of the Ringling Brothers.

Throughout the first three days of Media Days, there have been definite high points and some points of no return.

HIGH: ARKANSAS COACH BIELEMA’S WORDS OF TRUTH

BRET

Normally, South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier is regarded as the undisputed king of Media Days, but this year Bielema stole the title by showing up the Ol’ Ball Coach with a taste of his own medicine and a prophetic look to the game’s potential problems.

When he took to the podium on Tuesday, Spurrier made a sly comment that Ar-

kansas and Tennessee were celebrating a 7-6 finish last season with “cartwheels and somersaults.”

Bielema responded in kind with, “I’ll respect my elders at all points. I don’t think this body is built, no matter how big the shoes, with rockets or not, I could do any cartwheels.”

Unlike the other coaches, when a reporter asked the now infamous “Cost of Attendance” stipend question, Bielema didn’t focus on how it won’t affect him and others with recruiting. Instead, he brought to light a potential problem behind the extra money given to players.

“Give a young man [who’s] 18, 19, 20, 21 years old with a little bit of pocket change, a lot of money to make bad decisions, things can go sideways in a New York minute,” Bielema said. “We have to monitor that as coaches and be aware

of that.”

HIGH: TENNESSEE JUNIOR QUARTERBACK JOSHUA DOBBS A.K.A. ‘THE MAD SCIENTIST’ The media usually gathers around a quarterback to hear what he did during the offseason to perfect his mechanics or increase his accuracy throwing into tight windows.

When the tide of reporters converged around the table to listen to Dobbs, they were granted something entirely different — a lesson in thermodynamics.

Dobbs, an aerospace engineering major, enlightened reporters with a sample of what he learns in his classes in layman terms.

“Thermodynamics is the study of heat transfer,” Dobbs explained. “Any type of process where heat is being transferred from one source to the next.”

LOW: ALABAMA SABAN’S EXCUSES

COACH

NICK

Six months after Alabama lost to the eventual National Champion Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, Saban had an answer to why the Crimson Tide fell short — the NFL Draft underclassmen grad deadline.

That’s right. Getting draft grades was Alabama’s problem, not the Buckeyes’ rushing attack that ran up 335 yards against the Crimson Tide’s elite defense.

“We’re trying to get ready for a game, and all of a sudden, a guy finds out he’s a first round draft pick, or a guy that thought he was a first round draft pick finds out he’s not a first round draft pick, and we’re trying to get ready to play a playoff game,” Saban said.

LOW: COST OF ATTENDANCE QUESTIONS

In January, the NCAA agreed to allot student athletes a cost-of-attendance stipend to assist them with additional costs not covered by their scholarships.

Throughout Media Days, every reporter has grown to dread the inevitable question about how each individual school’s allotment will factor into recruiting.

Missouri senior center Evan Boehm wins with the best response of the day.

“The reason why I came to the University of Missouri is because I felt like it was my home,” Boehm said.

“It’s not because of the money that they are going to give me. If a kid is out there saying, ‘This school can give me this amount of money, but this school can only give me this amount of money,’ and basing the decision off that, I think that’s kind of wrong.”

Hill Memorial explores hurricane history through exhibit

BY RILEY KATZ rkatz@lsureveille.com In the months leading up to the 10-year anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, employees at Hill Memorial Library wanted to look back at hurricanes from the past and review their effects on the people that lived through them.

The result, “Tempest: Storms in the Archives,” is an exhibit that explores the consistencies in hurricanes over the past two centuries by presenting photographs, official documents and oral accounts.

By searching through the archives, exhibitions coordinator at LSU libraries special collections Leah Jewett and the director of the T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History Jennifer Cramer have discovered the effects from storm to storm remain relatively similar no matter how much time progresses.

“Once you look at the resources that we have, or any other institution have about hurricanes in Louisiana, you can see that some of the problems that come up,

EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille

‘Tempest: Storms in the Archives,’ an exhibit about the history of Louisiana’s hurricanes, is on display through Sept. 12 at Hill Memorial Library. including sometimes human response or planning, it is the cycle of the hurricane repeating,” Jewett said. “While it can be depressing, it can also be informative.”

Cramer said hurricanes Katrina and Rita did not happen in a vacuum, so they have a history

of storms, as well as natural and man-made disasters.

“We have a rich collection of resources that can help researchers look into the past to provide context for the present and the future. One of the most interesting aspects of the information

we have is the recurring themes that are present throughout the history of these storms. Reading documents from 1850 and listening to stories from the 1960s, the stories, for the most part, remain the same.”

While the archives include the scientific and engineering factors of storms and what happens when they evolve, the exhibit focuses on the humanizing aspects of what happens during and after hurricanes. The stories range from tragic to hopeful, and hearing the stories told by people who lived them allows the listener to realize how real these events were a century ago.

“By looking through history through primary sources such as photographs and oral recounts of events, we can really learn from the past to prepare for the future,” Cramer said. “With storms and floods, there is no ‘if’ another one comes, it is a ‘when.’”

Many of the stories and documents in the exhibit show how people can lose everything and come back under the most dire of circumstances, as well as show their darker sides. Part of the exhibit’s

goal is to instill a specific emotion in each attendee, much like each storm gives an individual experience to every person it affects.

“We are hoping to ignite the curiosity of the people, not just researchers,” Cramer said.

“Tempest: Storms in the Archives” runs until Sept. 12. Admission is free to the public. There also will be a series of brown-bag lunches that will take place in midAugust through September with set dates coming soon. A Katrina and Rita symposium in memory of the 10-year anniversary of the storms will be held on Aug. 28 in the LSU Digital Media Center where Cramer and Jewett will be participating.

“It is inspiring to look at people from these past generations lose everything and then come back.

It shows their resilience,” Jewett said. “Some of the stories are terrible, but these storms can also bring out the best in people. It is wonderful to listen to people who have gone through something so awful, only to keep going. At the same time, there are some stories in the exhibit that you can say did not end well.”

National candidates a danger to La. politics LAPLANTE PARENTHOOD DAVID LAPLANTE Writer

Online streaming services an advantage over cable TV LAPLANTE PARENTHOOD DAVID LAPLANTE Writer Cable television subscriptions simply do not fit the lifestyles of many young people anymore.

The advent of streaming networks that allow viewers to access content over the Internet has pushed major providers to consider and offer nuanced services that provide content on demand, rendering traditional cable obsolete.

Companies such as Netflix and Hulu embraced streaming early and have established their business platforms on Internet delivery. Their services provide a broad majority of streamed content that is produced by other companies and act as an access portal similar to traditional television channels. These organizations recognized and capitalized on the potential online streaming offered and expanded the industry in that direction.

I subscribed to an Internet provider last August and started my journey without cable. The

salesman was surprised, but I told him I only really used my Roku and laptop to watch TV. I can access my shows wherever I have an Internet connection, even on break between classes. It doesn’t make studying any easier, but it is much more convenient than cable.

Many traditional providers are recognizing the benefits of content streaming and the inevitable subscriber defection to these new companies. Cable and satellite giants including Comcast and Dish Network have already rolled out streaming-only plans for cord-cutting subscribers.

The entire realm of television programming is now available without a traditional cable plan, and all channels can be accessed through streaming devices such as Apple TV and Roku. Streaming plans erase nearly every advantage of keeping your cable provider by bridging the gap that once existed between on-demand content and the variety of real time cable programing.

The only failure of streaming now seems to be the unreliability of the Internet. Internet access requires a subscription, too, and it has limits. When HBO’s

The Daily Reveille Editorial Board

Rebecca Docter Editor in Chief Jennifer Vance Managing Editor

“True Detective” season one finale aired, anyone watching it on cable was able to tune in without a hitch. However, HBO GO streamers were in for a surprise when HBO’s server crashed due to the incredible volume of requests to watch the much-anticipated episode.

For students, streaming television content has many advantages. It is more flexible, typically cheaper and fits conveniently with the mobile lifestyle many young people embrace.

Most streaming plans offer content at a lower monthly fee than traditional cable, do not require contracts or charge cancellation fees and can be moved to any location with access to the Internet.

It makes sense for students to choose streaming over cable and many have already made the switch. Accessing content online makes sense for most people, and the market will only grow as Internet access continues to become cheaper and more reliable.

David LaPlante is a 20-yearold mass communication senior from Baton Rouge.

Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker signed into law a budget that destroys the integrity of public higher education institutions and threatens to spread into other Republicancontrolled states. The budget does away with tenure and program protections at Wisconsin colleges by entrusting many decisions and regulations to the Wisconsin Board of Regents in a move consistent with Walker’s harmful labor rights track record.

Though those changes only affect Wisconsin schools, they may be closer to Louisiana than we would like.

This year, our state faced similar budget shortfalls and had to restructure regulations to fund higher education. Many of the ideas Louisiana legislators use to balance budgets come from other states and some are harmful.

Our politicians have used trendy fiscal moves to project an image of responsibility, and this could be the next contagious idea.

State law previously ensured changes to college protections required action from the state legislature. Those decisions will now be made at the discretion of the state Board of Regents, a body appointed almost entirely by the governor with little oversight. The move consolidates power in the hands of the

Governor’s Board.

The Louisiana Board of Regents is made up of 15 members, including a student representative. The governor selects each member of the Board except that student. Appointments to the Board are subject to Senate approval. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal appointed four new members to the Board of Regents this year, three of which have strong ties to him through campaign donations.

The effort to restructure power will allow teachers and programs to be dismissed from public universities at the behest of the Board of Regents, leaving students in limbo. Without stable legal footing, universities will have trouble providing programs that they can be confident will see students through to graduation.

Public institutions should be governed by publicly elected officials and not lumped under the authority of a board of the governor’s donors. If they cannot operate consistently, our schools will struggle to attract quality faculty and students and face difficult decisions when it’s time to draft a budget and every program is on the chopping block.

Radical policies like Walker’s will poison Louisiana’s struggling higher education systems.

We must shut national politics out of our local debate and urge our elected officials to protect our schools from false promises that swirl around the country.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS Major storyline Arkansas in 2015:

facing

Is it Arkansas’ year to make a run? The experienced Razorbacks’ hopes of an SEC West title may come on the shoulders of senior quarterback Brandon Allen. Arkansas will continue to be a run-heavy team in pro-style offense, but the addition of offensive coordinator Dan Enos will be huge for Allen’s progression. Allen, who threw the fewest interceptions of any every-game starter in the SEC, should have plenty of help in the run game with four returning offensive lineman and two 1,000yard rushers from 2014. Defensively, they lose four starters in the front seven, but three starters in the secondary returns. The Hogs may not have the second-ranked total defense in the SEC again, but their offense could be enough to make Bret Bielema’s squad a legitimate threat in the SEC West.

While the talent and production of Wallace was evident, most Rebel fans didn’t know if they would see “Good Bo” or “Bad Bo” each week. However you look at him, Wallace helped re-establish a struggling program, but his days in Oxford are over. Freeze is now tasked with replacing him with one of three options, including dual-threat transfer Chad Kelly. Once a Clemson Tiger before being dismissed from the team, Kelly flourished in junior college and some believe he is the likely choice to win the job. Ryan Buchanan is Kelly’s stiffest competition and was in the lead after the spring game concluded, according to Freeze. Whether it is Kelly or Buchanan, the Rebels have plenty of experience in other places to formidable SEC West team. But the quarterback position is always

Can new defensive coordinator John Chavis revamp the defense?

If you talk about the Aggies, you have to mention offense first.

Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin has made a living producing high-powered offense, including the top passing offense in the SEC all three seasons he’s been in College Station. But the one guy who always seemed to have an answer for him was Chavis, whose LSU defense forced eight turnovers in three games against Sumlin.

So when Texas A&M was in the market for a coordinator and Chavis was looking to move on from the Tigers, it was match made in heaven. Fortunately for Chavis, he inherits eight returners, including former freshman All-American Myles Garrett. The Aggies should be able to score plenty of points, but Chavis’ defense will be key.

Swine Palace to present ‘As You Like It’

BY JACK WOODS jwoods@lsureveille.com The stage of Baton Rouge’s Reilly Theatre will transform into the Forest of Arden when Swine Palace presents Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” beginning July 22 at 7:30 p.m.

The company will have evening shows at 7:30 p.m.

July 22-25 with an afternoon performance slotted for 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 26. Director George Judy said he is excited to unveil the production, which will feature original music.

“I can feel everyone, sort of their expectation and energy and excitement is mounting as we get closer and closer to the point where we can actually share the work with an audience,” Judy said. “We’re looking forward to it.”

The action centers around Rosalind, the daughter of an exiled duke. She meets Orlando, the youngest son of the deceased Sir Rowland de Boys, and they fall in love.

Although the love life of one of Shakespeare’s most regarded heroines becomes a focal point, she isn’t the only character used to explore the idea of love and the things that come with it.

Judy said “As You Like It” is a romantic comedy, but it has a darker layer. He said the production will be both fun and funny, but there is substance to it.

“It’s basically an exploration of love and all its various shapes, fashions and forms,” Judy said. “There’s a central plot that has to do with romantic love. But there’s also love for parents and children, love between brother and sister, love of your work, love of your community. So it sort of

explores the idea that love can make us do crazy things as much as it is sort of a wonder to us.”

“As You Like It” also features one of Shakespeare’s most famous monologues.

One of Duke Senior’s attendants, Jaques, delivers the well-known “All the world’s a stage” monologue in Act II, Scene VII. The performances also will introduce Swine Palace’s new resident ensemble.

“They are the sort of core of our group of actors,” Judy said. “Then we supplement those with guest professionals and actors from the community.

Generally, that’s the casting tool for these productions.”

Judy said working with a new group of young artists is one of the great joys of directing. He said it’s bittersweet when one company leaves but

exciting when a new group arrives.

As for the coming months, Judy said seeing the ensemble members perform in “As You Like It” will help make casting the core actors easier in coming shows.

“This was a little bit of a unique situation because I was casting them really shortly after meeting them,” Judy said. “I didn’t know them as well. But having now worked with them for these past two to three weeks and seeing their work in this production, it’ll give us lots of information about how to cast them over the two years they’re here in our resident ensemble company.”

The cost of admission for each of the performances is $15.

page 8 MATH, from page 1 University assistant professor Shawn W. Walker studies shape optimization and recently authored rare to nearly nonexistent textbook material — an introduction to shape optimization and surface geometry, the building blocks for the industrial science that optimizes the speed of cars, boats and planes.

“All the other books that deal with shape derivatives are really advanced and are meant for minimum grad students,” Walker said. “This, as far as I know, is the only undergrad level book on this stuff at all and should definitely be useful for grad students or students in other fields without getting bogged down in enormous details of the math.”

The textbook, “The Shapes of Things: A Practical Guide to Differential Geometry and the Shape Derivative,” introduces readers to learning simulation with differential geometry, a more advanced mathematical field usually taught in graduate schools.

“I would like to do a follow up book that is a little more advanced and goes into how you actually apply this on a computer such as developing algorithms to do optimization,” Walker said.

Walker, who just finished his fifth year at the University, holds a joint appointment with the Department of Mathematics and the Center for Computation & Technology. He said the idea for a textbook stemmed from his lecture notes. After showing the notes to a few individuals, Walker decided the

notes would serve well as an introduction for undergraduates and professionals in different fields.

The textbook took about a year to go through the publishing process, going through peer reviews, multiple edits and re-edits and finally becoming available through the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in late June.

Walker said his research specifically focuses on moving boundary theories and shape optimization as it relates to fluids. He said shape optimization can be used for boats, cars or even the shape of a curve in a pipeline to diminish the amount of turbulence the water creates at the bend.

“What’s the optimal shape of the boat so that it goes through the water faster? What’s the optimal shape of the propeller to get as much thrust out?”

Walker said.

The Virginia-born professor teaches numerical analysis courses and computational mathematics, which deals with modeling physics on a computer and how to develop simulation methods for recreating fluid dynamics.

“Learn a simulation to predict the process you are trying to run that way you can use the simulation to tweak the process,” Walker said.

“In other words you are trying to optimize your industrial process.”

University students may first get the opportunity to use Walker’s new textbook as supplemental reading in a graduate course Walker hopes to teach next spring.

University mechanical engineering junior Eric Rohli, finance sophomore Emily Latham, computer science freshman Leslie Morgan and mechanical engineering junior Van Le stand behind the TigerRacing team’s formula-style racecar, ‘Chelsea,’ on Tuesday in the Engineering Annex Building.

TIGERRACING, from page 1 fiber body with steel framing,” Morgan said. “The electric shifting and resonated exhaust are a couple of the things that make this vehicle unique compared to its predecessing models.”

What does it take to build a race car capable of reaching top ranks in a competitive environment? Time, money and a whole lot of teamwork.

The race car is designed and manufactured, then taken to competitions by a team of roughly 20 students. This endeavour is an annual cycle that takes a year to complete. A timeline is established before going into the process of building, said mechanical engineering freshman Van Le, the team’s engine design lead. The designing phase begins

after competitions are completed, and by August, the car is ready to be manufactured with a goal of completion by Christmas.

“That way we have the whole second semester to have the car ready and rolling for testing,” Le said.

The team is in contact with the Parking and Transportation Services, which allows members to practice on the smooth commuter lots around Patrick F. Taylor Hall and Tiger Stadium, Morgan said. By this time, some team members will have had put days upon days of work inside and outside of the shop.

“You’re working pretty much full-time job hours,” said finance sophomore Emily Latham, the team’s financial and marketing executive. “So about 30 to 40 hours a week.”

Of course, time isn’t the only large investment required. The amount of money it took to fund this year’s car added up to a little more than $43,000, including everything from manufacturing and purchase of raw materials to travel and transportation, said mechanical engineering junior Eric Rohli, the team’s incoming president.

The team attains its funding from sponsors, alumni and the University’s Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. While local sponsors contribute a majority of the money used, the department provides gifts as well as an equipped place to work.

“One of the big contributions they’ve given us is the shop itself,” Le said. “We cherish that.”

In addition to the workshop, the machinists in the department, as well as assistant professor of mechanical engineering Ingmar Schoegl, the team’s faculty adviser, assist when they are needed.

Despite the availability of help, the team as a whole does the most amount of work.

“It’s really the club’s responsibility to do everything,” Schoegl said. “I guess if I see anything that is blatantly obvious, I will say something, but beyond that, it’s their effort, and I keep it at that.”

The team is able to maintain this effort through a tightly organized system of work distribution.

Designing the car, handling spon-

sorship, contacting companies, manufacturing the parts, assembling the car and testing it are all tasks that are split between team members within administrative and technical departments.

“It’s pretty much just a little business that’s getting run here,” Morgan said. “Like a machine with a bunch of different components running together.”

And the engine that keeps this metaphorical machine going is the knowledge-transfer mentality the team boasts. Before LSU TigerRacing became a University recognized student organization with an extracurricular volunteer-based format open to all students, it was a senior capstone project that dated back to the ’90s, Schoegl said.

When the department decided to no longer accept it as a capstone due to years of poor performance, the students enthusiastically took over, according to a news release.

Unlike with a capstone, experience and knowledge is passed on to younger members through documented notes and mentorships with returning members.

“Each year is just an improvement from the last because past team captains and team leaders have established a good base that we’re working off of,” Le said.

Since making this switch in 2013, TigerRacing has shown a trend of steady improvement in its ranks — going from 73rd to 40th to 22nd in Michigan and 42nd to 9th in Nebraska.

“Our knowledge transfer is so organized that it’s at a point where we’re not set up to fail, we’re set up to succeed,” Morgan said.

The students involved with the organization are not paid for their efforts but said they hope to gain an advantageous step forward.

By competing, team members have a chance to be recognized by companies like SpaceX, who are typically present at competitions like Michigan, Schoegl said.

“This is something that future employers are actually looking at,” Schoegl said. “It’s really a huge plus on the résumés of students who are involved.”

The team plans to bring “Chelsea” to Arlington, Texas, within the coming weeks for an SAE meet, Le said.
