BOARD OF REGENTS

Regents missing FEMA money

STRIKE UP THE BAND Drum major Daniel Wendt and guard captains look forward to upcoming year with Tiger Band

aniel Wendt was 4 years old when he knew he wanted to be in the Golden Band from Tigerland. As he watched the musicians’ promenade from the Greek Amphitheater to Tiger Stadium, he tugged at his uncle’s shirt and told him, “I’m going to do that one day.”

Now, 18 years later, drum major Daniel Wendt leads the band in its 2015 season.

His passion for music began in middle school when he played saxophone in the school band, and it hasn’t faded since.

“Tiger Band is the top priority,” Wendt said. “The band is the reason I’m at LSU.” This year, Tiger Band members are anticipating a successful season with Wendt at the helm.

“I think that this year we are going places,” guard captain Hannah Brown said. “Everyone’s in the right mindset, and we are ready to make it the best that we possibly can.”

Many returning band members are also eager to re-enter Death Valley for the season’s first home game.

“I’m so excited to get back into Tiger Stadium and just be in that atmosphere again,” Brown said.

The Louisiana Board of Regents may receive around $60 million in insurance money guaranteed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Wednesday’s meeting detailing FEMA money following Hurricane Katrina may help solve widespread facility issues at universities across the state, including LSU. However, the funds have yet to be delivered to the Board.

L e a k y roofs, exposed wiring and broken ventilators were evident at a recent University of New LIPSEY Orleans site visit and are common throughout other state colleges, said Vice Chair Richard Lipsey at the Board’s Wednesday meeting.

“We’re going to absolutely ruin some of the finest institutions we have,” Lipsey said. “These problems need to be addressed.”

Lipsey said the problem lies in the system of deferred maintenance, where repairs can get tied up for months.

While Katrina’s 10th anniversary brings national focus on New Orleans’ resilience and sustainability, Board members questioned the whereabouts of insurance money designated to higher education in the state. “$20, $30, $40 million could go a long way for these problems,” Secretary Joseph P. Farr said.

“Someone needs to figure out where the money went. At some point we have to find sanity in this.”

Board of Regents member Marty Chabert, a former state senator and former LSU Board of Supervisors member, said the maintenance problems stem from as far back as two decades.

Chabert said the state put money into college buildings in the 1990s, with no forethought to

This series is being executively produced by Greg Berlanti, the man behind “Arrow” and “The Flash,” both having a heavy following. Plus, this is a superhero show, so what’s not to love?

What’s all wrapped up in pearls, blood and Greek letters?

Ryan Murphy’s “Scream Queens.”

As long as Murphy makes this as campy and satirical as it should be, this show will not fail.

We may not need another medical show, but this one takes place in an ER unit dealing with high-risk cases. Our lead to watch is Marcia Gay Harden. No pressure on being the best doctor on television.

We all remember the original go-around for “Heroes” was a bit of a flop. This rebirth will either be good to watch or good to watch crash and burn.

Jon Stewart has passed the torch to Noah, and we’re all waiting to see what he does. This show could nicely complement the last 16 years and a new era, or it could be a complete flop.

Rob Lowe and Elizabeth Banks lend their voices to this “Miami Vice” animated parody.

Today is the last chance for students to see a side of their professors usually absent in the classroom, as the 2015 LSU Folks’ Arts and Crafts Show comes to a close following a two-month run in the LSU Student Union Art Gallery. The exhibit features works of art from faculty and staff across campus. Here are three of the artists and LSU employees who showcased their work:

Manuscript Editor at LSU Press Neal Novak Neal Novak, who graduated from LSU in 2005 with a master’s in history, said he is surprised at the amount of attention his art received since its debut at the gallery.

“I don’t think anyone outside of my office knew that I paint, but now that’s not the case,” Novak said.

He began painting as a hobby but has since renovated his home’s second bedroom as an art studio.

“It’s all-consuming at this point,” he said.

She said she is an avid traveler and snapped her photographs in locations like London and Paris.

Marketing Instructor Dr. Monica Santaella Dr. Monica Santaella, Mexico native and fivetime LSU graduate, channels her passion for art into the classroom. When Santaella was a student, she would make notes with drawings and sketch her professors during class.

“I have always had this passion, and I always try to introduce it to my work.” Santaella said.

She sketches diagrams and pictures for her students as a vehicle to bring them from point A to point B and keep their interest, she said.

“Sometimes with books there are too many words,” she said. “Get to the point.”

New social media application Flyy launches at LSU App allows users to post voice messages

BY AUBREY TICER @aubrey_ticer There’s nothing like hearing your friend tell a secret.

With the new app Flyy, LSU users may be able to do just that.

Flyy, a social media app launched at LSU this summer, allows users to record their voice and post it to the app for others to respond.

The app’s campus ambassador, mass communication sophomore Sayidana Davis, said the app’s mission is to provide users with a safe and fun place to express themselves.

“We want it to be a platform where people can be heard,” Davis said. “Things can get misconstrued with text. But with Flyy, it’s your voice.”

Flyy, which is similar to the social networking app Yik Yak, offers users the option to adjust the pitch of their voices to allow clarity or to maintain anonymity.

Davis said she hopes Flyy will achieve greater success on campus than Yik Yak. “We’re trying to go above Yik Yak because we feel like, with it being able to be anonymous and your voice, it could be just a little bit cooler,” Davis said.

The app also allows users to respond to others’ posts. Davis said this feature makes personal connections with others more accessible.

“I can say it and be heard and have someone comment back to me who has had the same experience, without being criticized or ridiculed,” Davis said.

The app features specific tags for users to categorize

“We were putting all this money into buildings, but where’s the money for the maintenance in 10, 20 years?” Chabert said.

Board member Edward D. Markle said a revolving loan program, a possibility proposed by others on the Board, is not likely to happen.

“We budget for this, the legislature takes it away, the roofs don’t get fixed and we’re back to the same problem,” Markle said.

“We can’t educate our children, our students, if we don’t get an adequate place to learn in.”

Markle suggested a “brain trust” to look toward alternative resources for maintenance, citing imminent budget cuts.

NFL preseason needs to be tweaked

READY FOR THE LEAP Former Baton Rouge prep star Guice ready to make impact in LSU backfield

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR When the spotlight shines, LSU freshman running back Derrius Guice said he’ll be ready.

Guice grew up on Baton Rouge playgrounds and went to Catholic High School — the largest 5A high school in the state. He is a Baton Rouge boy at heart whose name now echoes through barriers beyond Baton Rouge and Louisiana.

Guice’s name resonates louder now more than ever as videos of the freshman breaking tackles and busting into the endzone went viral during last Tuesday’s closed scrimmage.

It was one of the first instances people outside of Louisiana could see Guice’s running power, speed and strength fully exposed.

For the Baton Rouge community, it was just another

Every summer, preseason NFL games steal stars’ health and prevent fans from watching their favorite players suit up in the games that really matter, and every summer, the cry for changes to be made are ignored.

It’s time to make a change, NFL. Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey will spend at least half the season on the sideline after injuring his ankle during a 24-19 win against the Green Bay Packers. Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson won’t play at all this season after injuring his knee in the same game. And Robert Griffin III is still on the mend after suffering a concussion during Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

Those are just three of the biggest names who have suffered injuries during games that are almost as irrelevant as the Pro Bowl. There will undoubtedly be more when the last couple rounds of preseason games take place.

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. So cut the preseason down from four games to two, or eliminate it altogether.

Tigers reflect on trip Down Under, prepare for new season

BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR Everywhere LSU freshman forward Ben Simmons goes, sold-out areas follow.

Nothing but the accents changed when the Melbourne, Australia, native headed home with the Tigers for their preseason Australian tour.

“Everywhere I went, people recognized me,” Simmons said.

“When they called me out, the fans went crazy. It was a surreal experience, but it was fun.”

Despite the fanfare, Simmons said his favorite part of the trip

was seeing family and returning to familiar surroundings.

Simmons’ comfort was evident on the court as he led the Tigers with 20 points and nine rebounds per game while tallying a team-high 35.4 minutes per game.

Although Simmons posted a team-high 25 turnovers through the Tigers’ five games, he led in assists, and LSU coach Johnny Jones said he had to make an adjustment to the speed of play while also being the primary ball handler.

“That’s something that Ben will continue to be able to make

an adjustment to as he transitions from high school to college,” Jones said. “But he has all the ability in the world to make those type of adjustments. He’s a guy who’s a perfectionist. He’s a guy who doesn’t like to have bad stat lines.”

LEARNING TO GO SMALL Last season, the Tigers depended on the physicality of former forwards Jarell Martin and Jordan Mickey in the paint.

FOOTBALL

Secondary continues to be strength of defense in 2015

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR The 2015 LSU secondary draws comparisons to one of the most well-known eras in LSU football history.

The incoming squad’s talent attracts the likeness of the 2011 defensive back crew, which featured NFL first-round picks Morris Claiborne and Eric Reid along with third-round picks Brandon Taylor and Tyrann Mathieu.

The intended starters for this season looked to mirror the group from last season, but senior safety Jalen Mills went down with a lower leg injury during preseason practice. Junior safety Rickey Jefferson is expected to substitute for Mills during his absence.

LSU coach Les Miles said at a news conference Tuesday that Mills had surgery on his injured leg and will be out for an unspecified amount of time.

Sophomore safety Jamal Adams and Jefferson are assumed to be the Tigers No. 1 choices at strong and free safety, respectively. Junior Tre’Davious White and sophomore Ed Paris will round out the group as the starting cornerbacks.

Regardless of Mills’ injury, many good, if not great, performances are expected from this troupe during the 2015-16 season — just as it was from the 2011 defensive-backfield squad.

The 2011 defense allowed an average of 11.3 points per game, the lowest number of any LSU team since the 2003 national championship squad, which held opponents to 11 points per game.

EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille

LSU then-freshman safety Jamal Adams (33) tackles Mississippi State freshman wide receiver Jamoral Graham (81) during LSU’s 34-29 loss against Mississippi State at Tiger Stadium Sept. 20, 2014.

But the self-proclaimed “Defensive Back University” of college football doesn’t see themselves alike, or comparable, to any other secondary unit in the game.

“Our goal is to be better,” Adams said. “We don’t want to just be the 2011 team. We want to be better than the 2011 team.

The swagger is always going to stay up there.”

Time is of the essence for this upcoming season’s defensive backs as the projected starters in the LSU secondary feature all upperclassmen.

Punctuality in success counts more than ever as the group could split up with the looming NFL draft.

White, who was appointed by coaches and teammates as team leader with the No. 18 jersey, said the group will perform to college football’s peak.

This group goofs off and jokes with one another as if they’ve been playing ball together all their lives. White said the veterans, including himself, have begun to mold the younger, freshman players from being simple defensive backs to pledged members of “DBU.” Kevin Toliver II, who was once the No. 1 overall-rated recruit in the nation, is expected to lead the group of rookies in playing time this season. He will be alongside freshman

speedster Donte Jackson, who may see playing time on both sides of the ball in 2015.

Although age may separate the younger members from the more mature, veteran members of “DBU,” they all act the same off the field — childish and playful.

All members of the unit took LSU Football Media Day on Aug. 16 as their playroom. Adams, named a member of the Freshman All-American team and All-Southeastern Conference Freshman Team in 2014, led the tomfoolery by interviewing other members of the secondary for the media.

“You can see (just how much fun we have),” Toliver II said.

“Jamal Adams is just walking around with a camera interviewing everybody. We really do have fun.”

The success will come on the field, but the squad’s offthe-field, flamboyant chemistry is what it believes sets it apart from competition.

“The bond that we have off the field makes everything better,” White said. “It makes practice and situations on the field much easier because we can communicate better. That is what a team needs to win — communication and discipline — and I believe that we have that.”

On the field though, the Tigers have no room for play.

Last season, the Tigers secondary gave up a season-high 268 passing yards to Mississippi State and Auburn on Sept.

20 and Oct. 4, respectively.

The team also only allowed a season-high two passing touchdowns to Mississippi State, Auburn and Alabama.

The Tigers have made forcing more turnovers a priority this upcoming season. LSU, 8-5 overall in 2014 and 4-4 in SEC play, forced only 10 interceptions and successfully recovered 10-of-18 fumbles.

“You increase turnovers by getting them and just being ball hawks,” said LSU defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.

“It’s a mentality. We emphasize effort, tackling and turnovers.

If you do those three things, you’re going have a chance. We emphasize it every day. We’re teaching a turnover circuit every day in practice that teaches different elements of turnovers, and it’s just a mindset.”

VOLLEYBALL

LSU volleyball aims to improve on past seasons’ successes

BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR Motivational shouting, clapping hands and athletes giving 100 percent are what shape the intense atmosphere that lies in the LSU volleyball practice facility this preseason.

The LSU volleyball team expects to have an improved season with junior middle blocker Khourtni Fears coming back from injury and a leadership that has never been better, said coach Fran Flory.

“We’ve made it to the same spot the past two years, and we’re so motivated to get past that,” said senior outside hitter Katie Lindelow. “This team can definitely do it.”

This will be the first time LSU’s six freshmen put on a Tiger uniform and represent the university. The amount of playing time they will face remains

unclear. Flory said she wants the freshmen to have a calm start to their collegiate careers and struggle to adapt.

“We have to compete and trust our system and trust what we do,” Flory said. “The process should take care of itself. The result should follow.”

Tiger tight ends look to play bigger role in passing game

BY MARC STEVENS @Marc_TDR The LSU offense averaged less than 163 yards per game through the air in 2014, but with the help of its tight ends, the team looks to further improve in 2015.

Senior Dillon Gordon and junior DeSean Smith headline the returning Tiger tight ends, while junior Colin Jeter, redshirt freshman Jacory Washington and true freshman Foster Moreau add a much needed depth to the rotation.

Last season, LSU tight ends managed to bring in 12 balls for 129 yards and haven’t had anyone haul in 20 passes since former LSU tight end Richard Dickson in 2008. But with athletic, versatile talent at the position, Smith said anyone from the group can surpass the total.

“We are all capable of [catching 20 passes],” Smith said. “It’s all about having trust with your quarterback — showing and proving to them that you’re going to make big catches. I feel if we show and prove to them that we’re going to do that then there should be no problem that we’ll have 20 catches” Gordon has played in 39 career games, starting all but one

for the Tigers since 2013, and has been a key factor in the running game’s success. But he has been ineffective in the passing attack catching only six balls for 88 yards during his LSU career.

Prior to last season, some thought Smith was set for a breakout year. Although he played in every game, he was held without a catch until the game against Notre Dame at the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee, where he caught four passes for 66 yards. The junior tight end said he is confident his play will carry into this season.

“I definitely think I’ll be able to use those four catches as a boost for the upcoming season.

I ended on a good note, and I need to start off on a good note,” Smith said. “If we get things going right, it should definitely be a good year.”

After transitioning to tight end from receiver his first year, Washington could help revive the receiving tight end for the Bayou Bengals.

The Westlake, Louisiana, native finished his senior year at Westlake High School with 518 yards and three touchdowns on 36 receptions before joining LSU and redshirting in 2014.

highlight for Guice.

“I was a five-star athlete and the hot head in the town,” Guice said. “I am so used to this location, so everything that I did in high school just carried on to college.”

Guice wanted to come to LSU from the beginning of his recruiting process, but living in the same city for all his life has not been easy for the football player by way of stardom.

“I had to watch everything I did in high school,” Guice said.

“You couldn’t act like a normal person. ... You just have to accept the fact that who you are now represents much more than yourself. You just always have to be aware of that.”

Through high school prominence and an illustrious football career to date, Guice now finds himself on the same field as some of the most talented tailbacks in all of college football.

He represents one member of a brotherhood between the group of LSU running backs and the LSU football team.

The tailback crew is led by preseason Heisman trophy candidate Leonard Fournette.

Fournette will get a majority of the carries this season for LSU, but he and second-string sophomore Darrel Williams molded rookie Guice into being a feature back himself.

“Right now me and Darrel are working on the young guys, trying to get them prepared for game situations,” Fournette said. “I see a lot of progress that’s been going on at camp as far as us and the young guys.”

Fournette will control the largest portion of the running game for the Tigers, but LSU coach Les Miles is confident the guys behind him will step up when their numbers are called.

“You don’t want to keep pressing the line of scrimmage when he’s tired,” Miles said.

“So we’re very fortunate to have guys that can step in and play and play very big roles behind him.”

Guice is assumed to be the third-string running back on the depth chart, but he and freshman running back Nick Brossette will both see playing time this season.

Guice doesn’t acknowledge a competition for playing time between he and Brossette, but both await their chances on the field.

“We don’t really look at it like competition,” Guice said.

“We are all just trying to do what we came here to do. At the end of the day, all that matters is that we contribute and help the team.”

In the end, Guice is a freshman college student and cannot support the weight of the LSU football team completely on his shoulders. But when his number is called, he said he’ll be prepared.

“Coach Frank [Wilson] always tells us this: He says to seize the moment whenever the opportunity is brought upon you,” Guice said.

possible option.

Let’s make it happen.

These are just a few solutions from a long list. Although, admittedly, there aren’t any potential alternatives.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in a non-contact situation during a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins, and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick tore his ACL and MCL during the team’s Tuesday practice, proving injuries can happen even in less-hazardous environments.

But people are clearly unhappy with the status quo, and it would be foolish for the NFL not to explore other options. Although players will still get injured during the offseason, no matter how many games there are or what type of practices are run, the numbers can be cut down by making changes.

AUSTRALIA, from page 5 realizes the Tigers will need a formidable inside presence to step up this season.

“The makeup of the team is going to be a bit different, and there’s a big void to be filled because of those guys not being here,” Jones said. “That’s really the unknown for us now. There’s going to need to be some growth with [junior center] Darcy Malone and [sophomore center] Elbert Robinson [III], like [sophomore forward] Aaron Epps did.”

As the Tigers search for production inside to replace Martin and Mickey, LSU experimented with a smaller lineup featuring Simmons as the lone forward, which allowed the Tigers to play at a faster pace.

Simmons was the only big man to record more than 100 minutes during the Tigers’ five games in Australia.

Although the Tigers produced an average of 87.2 points per game, their size disadvantage led to rebounding struggles and mismatches on defense, which LSU looks to improve on heading into 2015.

“It made the offense function well,” said junior guard Tim Quarterman. “We passed the ball around a lot. The only thing about it is when we go small, we just

JOSH GRAY TO MISS ONLY ONE GAME After missing the Australia trip because of his participation in an non-NCAA sanctioned game earlier in the summer, senior guard Josh Gray heads

into the season with a one-game NCAA suspension hanging over his head.

Jones made it clear the program will hand out an additional punishment beyond the NCAA’s sanction.

“His other punishment will be regulated through us in the program and the team,” Jones said. “He will have to work his way back into good graces with

his team and everything else. We think he is prepared and ready to do that.”

Gray averaged 7.1 points and 3.8 assists in 24.8 minutes per game last season.

CANstruction charity raises money for hunger awareness

BY ASHLYN ROLLINS @ash_r96 Sculptures are usually constructed from wood, steel, paper or other materials, but some can be made out of the supplies found in your kitchen pantry.

CANstruction is an annual charity event that hosts competitions in more than 150 cities internationally to raise hunger awareness.

It was the brainchild of the American Institute of Architects and its sister organization the Society of Design Administrators to create a fun, challenging for architects to employ their skills and give back to their communities.

“It’s a showcase of creativity, and it’s really making an

impact by raising awareness in a way that you wouldn’t necessarily anticipate,” said Mike Manning, president and CEO of the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.

Intricate sculptures are made solely from nonperishable canned goods by teams made up of members from the American Institute of Architects.

The teams are responsible for coming up with their own designs and the materials needed to construct them.

Each year participating teams are judged on their creativity involving a specific theme and compete for awards.

Once deconstructed, the canned goods are then donated to local food banks.

Baton Rouge’s CANstruc-

tion event began Wednesday and runs through Sept.

17, when viewers will get the chance to see the cans of food they see daily in a cabinet or grocery store transformed into monumental pieces of art.

Partners in the event include the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, the Art and Science Museum, the Old State Capitol and the Shaw Center for the Arts.

CANstruction has united these venues over the years.

This is the fifth consecutive year the competition has partnered with the Art and Science Museum, the second year with the Shaw Center and first for the Old State Capitol.

‘Emotion’ a mix of highs and lows

BY KAYLA RANDALL @kay_ran21 Three years after her smash hit “Call Me Maybe,” Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen is back and ready to prove to the world she’s no one-hit wonder.

She partially succeeds with follow-up album “Emotion,” an album full of fun ’70s- and ’80sinspired pop. Jepsen’s signature brand of infectious music is on full display.

There isn’t a song on “Emotion” that doesn’t feature a perfectly crafted pop hook. Complete with synth beats and funky instrumentation, Jepsen’s third album serves as a time machine to transport listeners back to a time of exemplary bubble-gum music.

Some tracks are lackluster, and the beats start to sound a bit too similar, featuring no distinct or exceptional production in the middle and end sections of the album. But most songs are so pleasant, it’s impossible not to bop along.

Standouts include the midtempo and sensual album opener, “Run Away With Me.” Jepsen croons, “I’ll be your sinner in secret. When the lights go out, run away with me.”

The Sia co-written “Making the Most of the Night” has her imprint all over it, with its fastpace and mix of both nature and urban imagery. Jepsen and Sia prove to be great collaborators,

“Emotion’s” most popular single is “I Really Like You,” and it still holds up as one of the better tracks on the album.

The chorus is catchy, if a bit repetitive, and the verses are perfection.

“Boy Problems” is one of the most ’80s-inspired songs on the album and one of the most fun. It’s immensely cheesy and campy, and the jazzy bass line works as Jepsen sings about her and her friends’ challenges with boys.

“Emotion” falls off a bit toward the end of the album. The tracks begin to run together, and none of them really jump out as remarkable. The first half of the album is the best, while the second half is average and doesn’t keep up with the pace set in the beginning. Despite the disappointing second half, it’s still worth a listen.

On “Emotion,” there is no “Call Me Maybe”-type of hit, but this isn’t necessarily a negative, as there is more than enough for listeners — especially pop enthusiasts — to enjoy.

Thursday, August 27, 2015 BELL, from page 9 Katrina. Despite being a talented jazz musician, music is only a hobby for Bell, and he won’t be quitting his day job anytime soon.

Before his concert series began, he had been performing for more than 45 years as a fun pastime, including performances for the hospital’s patients.

“I used to just go around and play for our patients during the holidays,” Bell said. “It was a way to bring cheer to patients, and a way to help them take their minds off what they were dealing with and lift their spirits.”

However, it wasn’t long before the staff at Baton Rouge General took notice and realized he should play his own shows. For his first show, he was asked by the hospital to do a thank you concert for the donors and contributors. He got his group of jazz musician friends together and put on the show, and they’ve been performing ever since.

“The response from the audience was so good, they asked us to do it again,” Bell said. “Following that, the Manship Theatre said we should plan a series of three shows a year with them.”

Those three shows were so successful that Bell and friends gained a fan base. Now, he performs at the Manship Theatre multiple times a year, frequently to sold out crowds.

Along with the concert, Bell works with Baton Rouge General’s

Arts in Medicine Program, which allows patients to make art to be exhibited in a gallery near the theatre.

“We’re doing an art exhibit at the Manship Theatre that same night,” Bell said. “We have space in the lobby area, and all of the artwork is done by patients, and the art also has the same Katrina theme as the concert.”

Because the theatre’s performance season hasn’t started yet, Bell must rent the theatre to present this concert, something Manship Theatre Artistic Director Melanie Couvillon is grateful to him for doing.

“He’s this executive at Baton Rouge General, but little do people realize he’s also a very welltrained, professional musician,” Couvillon said. “So, it’s exciting for people to see that other side of him, and he does a fantastic show that’s a great addition to our program.”

Couvillon said Bell doesn’t always have clear cut themes for his concerts, other than when he performs at Christmas, but this time it was important for him to commemorate the hurricane. For this concert, Bell has invited New Orleans musician Detroit Brooks to perform a Katrina-inspired song he wrote.

In addition to bringing others joy, Couvillon said what makes these performances extra special is giving local musicians a chance to shine.

“We want to be able to relate to anybody,” Braswell said.

The menu includes breakfast classics, like eggs, pancakes, grits and french toast along with sandwiches and chocolates. It also offers healthier choices, like homemade granola and smoked salmon.

As for the other menu items, Braswell notes that exclusivity is one of the most important aspects for running a business.

Simple Joe is one of the few places where customers can find fresh-brewed coffee from River Road Coffees and chocolates that are made from Braswell’s mother’s recipe.

However, the restaurant was not always meant to be multi-faceted.

Originally, Braswell planned to only focus on chocolates, but the desire to give people more of a reason to come inside

produced adding coffee and cafe options.

Since opening, the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive.

But the restaurant’s launch wouldn’t have gone as smoothly without the help of Braswell’s close friend and chef Griouard Weddington.

“We talked about this years ago, so I wasn’t going to let him open without me coming in and giving him a hand,” Weddington said.

Weddington also was responsible for coming up with the quinoa and homemade granola healthier menu options.

“Health is in right now,” said Weddington. “We have a CrossFit next door and a lot of people working out in the area, so I thought let’s give them those options.”

“I want to be able to entice anybody to come here and eat, have a cup of coffee or just enjoy the chocolate,” Braswell said.

Customers can visit the cafe Tuesday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Sunday will be the official grand opening of the cafe, and Braswell has some attractions planned for customers.

The cafe will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Douglas Kennedy, Art and Science Museum communications coordinator. “It’s our mission of being interdisciplinary.”

This year’s theme is “CAN Wars,” a play on the “Star Wars” franchise with 10 teams participating in the event. Each team is comprised of members of architecture, engineering and design firms from around the city.

“For us, it’s fun to be able to build the structures, but it’s a blessing to be able to give it all to the food bank,” said Kathleen Gordon, executive director for the Baton Rouge chapter of American Institute of Architects.

The teams began building at 10 a.m. Wednesday, and the deadline was at 10 p.m. the same day.

The process of constructing the works begins with planning out a rough sketch, gathering the materials needed to stabilize the cans and carefully planning where and how the cans should be placed.

Each sculpture can easily exceed a few thousand cans of food, depending on the scale of its design.

“It’s actually a big challenge because there’s little imperfections in the cans,” Crump Wilson Architects team leader Chris Stelly said. “Even though it might not seem like a big deal once you’re starting off, once you begin building it up, a fraction of an inch ends up adding up over so many layers.”

Crump Wilson Architects are constructing a light saber.

Other teams such as GraceHebert Architects and Lionel F.

Bailey AIA Architect LLC will be constructing the Death Star II and Cloud City, respectively.

Other “Star Wars” themed constructions also will be present.

GraceHebert Architects team leader Taylor King said the team used building software Revit to model the Death Star II. “We modeled in the computer and then took the layers from the computer model and started cutting them two days ago,” King said. “Last night we started sanding and painting, and then today we can just take

While the event runs roughly three weeks, there is a special CANtina Walk on Sept. 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., which involves a walk through the three venues along with an appearance from “Star Wars” characters.

Opinion

Thursday, August 27, 2015

INFRANGIBLE ICON JOHN GAVIN HARP Columnist Josh Duggar has 99 problems, and keeping his trousersnake in his pants is the worst of them all.

On Wednesday, the oldest brother of the TLC show “19 Kids and Counting,” Josh Duggar checked himself into rehab. Duggar cites an addiction to pornography as the reason for seeking treatment. Considering the details from his past that surfaced this summer, the fact that Duggar watches a lot of pornography really isn’t surprising — or concerning.

Duggar has found himself caught with his hand in his pants after his Ashley Madison account and past crimes of sexual abuse were discovered by media outlets.

His past behavior indicates he likely has a bigger problem than an addiction to pornography. Watching a lot of porn shouldn’t make a person want to cheat on his wife, much less molest his siblings.

In today’s hookup-centric and Tinder-driven culture, finding a male who doesn’t watch porn is nearly as impossible as finding a parking spot in one of LSU’s commuter lots at 10 a.m. It rarely happens, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just something that is.

Our generation has instant, unlimited access to whatever our hearts desire. Whether we’re consuming music, movies, fashion or art, we’re able to do it instantly from the palms of our hands. This always-open window applies to pornography as well.

Duggar, like most millennials, has instant access to watch whatever he finds to be sexually arousing. I don’t know what Duggar is into — nor do I

MIND OVER MATTER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Duggar’s lack of self-control more evident than pornography addiction

want to know — but correcting the rate at which he consumes pornography shouldn’t be seen as the answer to all of his problems. It also shouldn’t be accepted as his excuse either.

Preventing Duggar from watching porn isn’t going to stop him from cheating on his wife. It isn’t going to prevent him from committing sex crimes. If anything, it will probably sexually frustrate him to the point of committing another act of debauchery.

Duggar probably has a problem. It likely isn’t that he finds

the timeless art of pornography to be addictive either. It’s that he lacks self-control.

He made the choice to cheat on his wife. He made the choice to abuse children. He also made the choice to login to PornHub however many times a day he did.

No one forced Duggar to do anything. He made each choice of his own volition, and he should accept the consequences and scrutiny that come with it.

Perhaps his religious upbringing has something to do

with his ongoing behavior, but I don’t understand why Duggar can’t say no to his innerdemons.

Getting sexually frustrated is a human experience. It happens to everyone. It doesn’t give one a hall pass to act like a d-bag.

Duggar claiming he has a pornography addiction sounds like a man who is looking for a way out of the firestorm he’s made for himself. It’s logical considering his image is hurting. He and his family’s publicist are likely going to try to do whatever they can to save

what’s left of his public image.

Though if the best excuse that the Duggar family publicist could come up with is “porn addiction,” then the publicists isn’t doing his or her job well. Instead of offering a lame excuse and heading to rehab, Duggar should own up to his mistakes like a man and teach himself how to say, “No.” John Gavin Harp is a 20-yearold mass communication junior from St. Francisville, Louisiana.

HBCU vs. PWI Twitter debate must end, can be societal problem MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS Columnist African-Americans have never been equal in America. We can march, protest, boycott, yell, riot and do anything else, but nothing will change if African-Americans don’t stop looking at each other as prey.

Many African-Americans wake up in the morning and hope today isn’t the day they are going to be murdered — we need to focus on building each other up rather than tearing each other down.

While the black community struggles to resolve the violence ripping families apart, many

members in the community partake in a petty debate, distracting people from the real issues.

The Predominately White Institution vs. Historically Black College and University debate has been an everlasting, and not to mention ignorant, waste of time, gaining most of its debaters and spectators from Twitter.

According to USA Today, prior to the Brown v. Board of Education case, 90 percent of African-Americans were enrolled in an HBCU. Since 2011, that percentage has dropped to 12. That decline is what spiked the, what seems to be, weekly debate.

This month on Twitter, @imthatdude32 said it best, “I really don’t get the HBCU v. PWI thing. Some schools are better

than others. All HBCU’s aren’t bad but some are not better than certain PWI’s.” He has the right idea.

Some HBCU’s are academically superior to PWIs and vice versa.

There are many where you will receive the exact same education. Of course the experience may differ, just as you would have completely different experiences at LSU and Howard University than you would at Tulane University and Xavier University.

HBCU students believe their university wouldn’t have financial troubles if the people the institution was built for would support it.

They also argue you cannot form the same connections at a PWI that you can at an HBCU. Last month, Twitter user @iamyaokhari tweeted, “*Taylor

and Iggy steal our music.* US (African Americans): This is a problem. *White schools steal our black students*. US: Who cares? Just get a degree.”

Sadly, this is how many African-Americans who attend HBCUs feel. But it goes both ways.

The main argument from African-American PWI students taking part in this petty debate is that their university is superior or more “righteous” than an HBCU. This argument can very well be a societal problem — in America, the white man is seen as superior, so if you attend the same university as him then you’re equal right? No, not even close. You’re still black, you’re still judged, and you’re still not equal. The only difference is now you have a degree,

just like the person that attended the HBCU. It is time to open our eyes.

This argument is the equivalent to the lightskin vs. darkskin debate. At the end of the day we are all black. Whether you attend an HBCU, PWI or no school at all, the color of our skin will remain the same. We need to focus on getting a degree and making connections with the right people.

African-Americans need to look at the bigger matter at hand, and I could promise you it’s not a silly debate over which institution is “better.”

Marijuana legalization in Ohio could help end war on drugs NOT MARIAH CAREY

DRUG WAR FACTS

MARIAH MANUEL Columnist In November, one of the most politically important states will vote on whether to legalize marijuana. If the measure is passed, Ohio will become the largest state in the country to completely legalize marijuana and could put an end to the war on drugs.

The war on drugs, enacted in the 1980s in response to the crack cocaine epidemic, sparked a vast increase in the number of prisoners on both the state and federal levels. The U.S. currently has 2.3 million people behind bars — more than any other country in the world. On average, it costs nearly $29,000 to house one federal prisoner for one year, according to The Washington Post.

A study conducted by the American Civil Liberties Union found that in 2010, Ohio spent more than $120 million prosecuting the possession of marijuana, a relatively harmless drug compared to other illegal substances.

From an economic standpoint, the drug war has been a dismal failure. Take cigarette smoking for example. The demand for cigarettes is highly inelastic, meaning that regardless of a change in price, consumption will not change. Drugs work in a similar way. Higher prices mean higher revenues for drug dealers, rendering prohibition meaningless.

Aside from the fact that the drug war is costing the government $51 billion a year, the cost of attempting to prevent people from doing drugs gave the U.S. the highest rate of illegal drug use worldwide. We can look to the

prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s for proof that prohibition not only lends itself to higher usage but can lead to increased levels of violence.

The 18th Amendment prohibited the making, selling and transporting of alcoholic beverages — with proponents believing that alcohol was destructive — causing crime and corruption. The amendment simply forced the alcohol business underground, encouraging disrespect for the law and organized crime. It wasn’t the alcohol that brought on the surge of crime, but the need for an elusive black

market economy.

The war on drugs also brought the idea of mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, which has led to an influx of incarcerated elders. Prisoners age 50 and older are the fastest-growing population in already overcrowded facilities, which led to increasing costs per prisoner for medications, hiring nurses and installing elder-friendly showers. Elderly prisoners face other harsh realities, like the inability to climb up stairs or into bunks or even hear the commands of guards.

The Obama administration is

creating a bipartisan coalition to overhaul the justice system, granting clemency to prisoners who meet certain criteria. Thousands of prisoners who do not deserve to die in prison for minor drug crimes.

Federal judges are struggling with congressionally mandated sentences, causing people who need help — not prison — to be forced into a cell for upward of 10 years. Judges no longer have the discretion they once had. Their hands are tied by mandatory penalties.

By ending the war on drugs, we can focus our efforts on rehabilitation for addicts rather than criminal charges, thereby reducing prison populations and saving our valuable tax dollars so they can be put to better use. It’s time for the federal government to admit that the war on drugs has been an absurd waste of time and resources.

The drugs have won.

‘The Cosby Show’ should stand despite Cosby’s actions BURNT TO A CRISP

GARRETT HINES Columnist Rape is wrong. Rape will always be wrong. And Nothing Bill Cosby says or does can change that.

However, everything he built should not come crumbling down with him.

The fact that some people believe it to be their right to use another person for their own sexual gratification without the other person’s consent is disgusting, and rape culture should be condemned by all means.

According to the Department of Justice, incidents of sexual violence have decreased by 60 percent since 1995. This growing consciousness around rape culture is good because it will hopefully lead to a continuing decline in the incidents of sexual violence.

The phrase “growing consciousness” deserves special emphasis.

Specifically, the word growing. At one time in this country, an ugly patriarchy ruled and condoned actions that led to the outright immoral

treatment of women.

Bill Cosby is the obvious most recent perpetrator.

Accusations of Cosby drugging and raping women numbers reach in the upper 50s.

There are those who claim that rape accusations should not always be taken at face value, as if accusing men of rape is some sort of feminist agenda.

These people have no credibility because shaming one’s own sexual behavior is not something anyone would go through unless they are serious about the charges they were speaking out on.

Accusing a male celebrity of rape, especially one with the previously untarnished image of Cosby, is not something these women would have taken lightly, and until any of these claims are proven false, their accusations must be taken as wholly true.

These actions were not viewed in the same way when they occurred as they are. Therefore, while Cosby should be taken to task for his actions, there should be special context given to the way we administer our vilification of Cosby.

Cosby holds a special place in

mainstream America and the African-American community.

When “The Cosby Show” aired, it became the first widely praised and accepted fictional depiction of an African-American man, who through education alone, was able to own a piece of the American dream. He and his fictional family lived the life that many in the public believed was only attainable for white American society.

As the show aired, it served as a guidepost for middle-class African-American families and for those who one day aspired to reach the Huxtable family’s level of success.

The Cosby Show was not the only endeavor where Cosby succeeded. He was also able to gain success on the comedy stage without cursing. This was a time when the path to becoming a successful African-American comedian was to take the vulgar route of Richard Pryor.

Throughout Cosby’s career and to the irritation of some in the black community, he has continued to speak on the ways African-American males can improve their lives if they carry themselves in a respectable manner.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Comedian Bill Cosby performs during a show on Nov. 21, 2014, at the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne, Fla. The politics of respectability cannot solve all the social ills that face African-American men, but pulling one’s pants up, refraining from dressing and acting in an outlandish manner in public and carrying one’s self with dignity can do no harm.

Cosby’s actions have disturbingly jeopardized all of the good work he did during the height of his success. Cosby’s works never

BAND, from page 1

its 1964 debut, the band is preparing new halftime performances this football season.

Their first new show to be performed at the Sept. 5 McNeese game titled “Women Who Rock” features songs from Aretha Franklin, Beyonce and Taylor Swift.

Wendt and Brown agreed the charm of the band lies in its longstanding history, and Brown said he believes the band grows in popularity because of the family traditions that follow it.

“Parents bring their kids, and then when those kids have kids, they bring them,” Brown said. “It’s so widespread and so wonderful.”

Along with the band’s traditions, the members also value the lessons they’ve learned in their time in the Tiger Band.

“Nobody’s perfect,” the drum major said. “What makes a person so special or so good at what they do is how you recover from those mistakes. That’s what Tiger Band has taught me.”

When asked what makes Tiger Band special, the answer from several members was unanimous — its storied tradition.

“We’re the sound of LSU … particularly with those first four notes at the pregame show,” assistant guard captain Lisa Aldridge said.

Though the pregame show routine has not been altered since
