La. federal judge upholds gay marriage ban

BY quint forgey qforgey@lsureveille.com U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman upheld both Louisiana’s ban on same-sex marriage and the state’s refusal to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states in a Wednesday ruling.

Julianne Martin, president of University LGBT organization Spectrum, said the ruling is harmful for Louisiana.

“It’s just really disappointing that, in this day and age, human rights are still being doubted in court,” Martin said.

In his ruling, Feldman wrote expanding marriage to samesex couples could set an incestuous precedent.

“Must the states permit or recognize a marriage between an aunt and niece? Aunt and nephew? Brother/brother? Father and child?” wrote Feldman.

Louisiana Family Forum president Gene Mills spoke in favor of the ruling in a press release titled “Marriage Wins in Louisiana!”

Congressional campaigns clash at Student Involvement Fair

Former Gov. Edwin Edwards makes appearance BY quint forgey qforgey@lsureveille.com Student party organizations and campaign volunteers descended onto Free Speech Plaza on Wednesday, transforming the University’s Student Involvement Fair into a political battleground for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District.

Though candidates Paul Dietzel, Garret Graves and Rufus Craig all had student supporters to wrangle younger votes, Edwin Edwards was the only competitor in attendance.

On the way to his spot at the

College Democrats table, the former governor and convicted felon was given a fan by workers from the Students for Dietzel booth.

“They’re very friendly people,” Edwards said of the group supporting Paul Dietzel, a 28-year-old Republican and University alumnus.

Edwards said he came to campus to revisit his alma mater and meet potential campaign workers.

“It’s good for a candidate to enlist the support of young people,” Edwards said. “I’m always happy to see people involved, even if they don’t want to be involved with me.”

Edwards, expected to make it to the race’s runoff election, said

he had narrowed the field of his nine Republican rivals to three names most likely to make it to the final round.

Though Edwards would not reveal the names, Dietzel campaign manager and former Student Government President J Hudson said his candidate was at the top of that list.

Hudson said Students for Dietzel had already amassed more than 100 volunteers from the University and argued Dietzel had one of the greatest levels of student involvement in the country for a House of Representatives campaign.

Edwards said he was surprised none of his fellow

Russia, Ukraine working on ceasefire plan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KIEV, Ukraine — Russia and Ukraine said Wednesday they are working on a deal to halt months of fighting in eastern Ukraine, but Western leaders expressed skepticism — noting it wasn’t the first attempt to end the deadly conflict.

On the eve of a crucial NATO summit, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s office said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed on steps for a ceasefire.

In a televised statement, Putin spelled out a seven-point plan for ending hostilities in eastern Ukraine, where Russian-backed separatists scored significant gains last week against government forces after four months of fighting.

Putin, speaking on a visit to Mongolia, said the rebels should halt their offensive and the Ukrainian government forces should pull back to a distance that would make it impossible for them to use artillery and rockets against residential areas. He also urged international monitoring of a cease-fire, a prisoners exchange and the delivery of humanitarian aid to war-ravaged regions.

Representatives of Russia, Ukraine, the rebels and the Orga-

nization for Security and Cooperation in Europe could finalize the peace deal as early as Friday, Putin said.

Poroshenko also voiced hope that Friday’s talks in the Belarusian capital of Minsk would allow both sides to “take real steps to achieve peace.”

He discussed the plan with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying it should include the OSCE monitoring of a cease-fire, the withdrawal of foreign troops, a buffer zone on the border and the release of all Ukrainian prisoners held in Russia, according to his office.

The Ukrainian leader met with Putin in Minsk last week, but they didn’t announce any agreement after that session.

Ukrainian officials said the bodies of 87 soldiers had been retrieved from the area near the city of Ilovaysk, the scene of a horrific government defeat over the weekend. Ukraine and the West said the rebel offensive was spearheaded by regular Russian army units, an allegation Moscow has rejected.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday dismissed the Kremlin denials, saying that “Russian combat forces with Russian weapons in Russian tanks” were in eastern

Ukraine.

Obama, on a trip to Estonia to reassure allies along Russia’s border, said it was too early to say if the announced truce could hold, noting that “we haven’t seen a lot of follow-up on so-called announced cease-fires.”

Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany, which has been pushing hard for a cease-fire,

also was skeptical.

“What we have experienced today is, unfortunately, a bit of a repeat of the Minsk meeting — there seem to be preliminary agreements, and then things come apart again,” Steinmeier said in Hamburg. “It may be a small sign of hope, but whether it is good news will only become clear in the coming days.”

New lawsuit filed over Sandusky’s alleged abuse THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

wakeup Reveille

TODAY’S FORECAST

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A new accuser has sued Jerry Sandusky, Penn State and a charity the former assistant coach founded, claiming he was sexually abused about six years ago.

The case was filed in Philadelphia last month by Williamsport attorney Bret Southard, whose client was identified only by his initials, The Centre Daily Time reported.

The lawsuit claims Sandusky abused the boy during a shopping trip in 2008 or 2009, and after they attended a Penn State game in 2008 against Coastal Carolina University.

The trip would have come around the time law enforcement officials began investigating Sandusky in late 2008, based on a complaint involving a student in central Pennsylvania. They charged him in 2011.

Southard told the newspaper his client represents a new case.

The lawsuit seeks $550,000, along with punitive damages and interest. Penn State previously settled 26 cases for nearly $60 million.

The lawsuit describes the boy as a participant in The Second Mile, the charity for at-risk children Sandusky founded, the newspaper reported.

Second Mile official David Woodle said the charity would

A Penn State spokesman declined to comment, and messages left by The Associated Press for Southard and Sandusky’s legal team late Wednesday were not immediately returned.

Sandusky was convicted two years ago of sexual abuse of 10 boys and is serving a lengthy state prison sentence.

License plate recognition system proposed for LSU gates BY jayce genco jgenco@lsureveille.com Student Government and LSUPD are in the preliminary stages of installing license plate recognition systems around campus.

The recognition system would take a picture of every car’s license plate entering and leaving campus then send that information to a national database. If the plate has been involved in a crime, the database would then flag the car, and law enforcement will be notified.

The idea was mentioned last week at the first SG senate meeting of the semester.

Senator Adam Grashoff, a senior and chair of budget and appropriations, said that the recognition system would add another blanket of safety for students, faculty and visitors.

Grashoff said both LSUPD and SG like the idea.

Makaila Santiago, biological engineering sophomore, said she doesn’t see the system as a big priority.

“I’d feel a little creeped out,” Santiago said. “They have all of my information.”

In a time of budget cuts and increasing tuition, Santiago said she wants to see the money put toward more financial aid options.

“LSU needs to focus on keeping kids in school,”

Santiago said.

Santiago also said she’s been safe on campus up to this point.

“It’s just little stuff like bike thefts,” she said.

SG President Clay Tufts, said LSUPD brought the idea to SG. The recognition system is in planning stages and no funding has been addressed, said Grasshoff. The system is in discussion to be placed on either every road or major roads in and around campus.

Tufts said that he will help LSUPD with any system funding issues.

“It’d be very useful for LSUPD,” Tufts said.

He said SG would be willing to spend money on public safety, calling the system a “major help for campus safety.”

Ryan Riggs, economics sophomore, said he would like to see the funds go to the police instead of the license recognition system.

“Spend the money on more police officers or bike officers so they’re seen more.” Riggs said.

“I really don’t even pay that much attention to SG,” said history senior Preston Valois.

Valois thinks the system will be good for security around campus.

Campus sustainability manager aims to up recycling Initiatives to include pollution prevention, clean energy

BY Malori Bezet mbezet@lsureveille.com Newly hired Manager of Campus Sustainability Sarah Temple plans to organize committees and bring more sustainability to campus.

Temple, a University graduate in environmental management systems, joins Assistant Director of Facility Services Tammy Millican in the sustainability program.

“Sustainability-related initiatives will not only help ensure that this campus can be enjoyed by students, staff and visitors for many years to come, but will also propel LSU into the role of being a forerunner among universities in these areas,” said Temple.

Millican said Temple’s hiring would be positive for sustainability efforts.

“Sarah’s experience that she’s bringing to the University is going to grow the program in a major way,” said Millican.

Temple wants to develop an environmental management system at the University to ensure Facility Services incorporate pollution prevention everyday, like disposing chemicals correctly and using the best fuels in campus vehicles.

Sustainability efforts began in 2008, when a group of students requested former LSU Chancel-

lor William Jenkins create a sustainability office. Sustainability on campus has been student-led ever since, Millican said.

The University will participate in the Environmental Protection Agency’s GameDay Challenge ­ — a competition between universities to increase recycling — during the Alabama game on Nov. 8.

“Students can beat them on the field and in a recycling competition,” said Millican.

Recycling bins placed throughout campus are for recycling basic items like paper and plastic, and Temple said Facility Services is working to expand electronic recycling for batteries and cell phones on campus as well. A campuswide electronic waste collection day is planned for later this fall.

The University recycling rate has increased from about 27 percent in 2008 to 41 percent in 2014. Temple said they found a new way to recycle old journals — weighing six tons — from Middleton Library, and it greatly contributed to the rate.

Construction sustainability is a major goal of Facility Services for the semester as there is a push for more construction waste recycling.

Facility Services is working on a new competition for the fall where buildings in the Quad would compete for most recycled materials.

Millican said Residential Life has been a proactive partner in sustainability.

The residential hall in construction will be LEED certified, meaning the building saves money and resources while promoting clean living. The Hilltop Arboretum was the first of the University’s buildings to have the certification.

Facility Services has many grants available for student groups interested in campus beautification and sustainability efforts, but some students have mixed feelings about sustainability and if efforts are prevalent on campus.

Mechanical engineering sophomore Hattie Duncan said there are many recycling bins on campus, but she is not sure if students know what to recycle.

Kinesiology sophomore Sophia Wojkowski said students may not use the bins, even if they are there.

Some students do not see recycling as an important issue.

Undecided sophomore Alyson Dohn said she thinks it takes too much effort, and there are not bins at every trash can to give her the option to recycle.

Millican said most students come to the University with knowledge of the importance of sustainability, but Facility Services aims to improve communications with students through outlets like social media.

Temple said a campus committee used to meet and discuss sustainability measures in past semesters. She hopes to reorganize the committees this fall.

Professors, students take BRAVE leap to combat violence Research shows initiative is working due to community, University support

BY Kaci Cazenave kcazenave@lsureveille.com Both domestic and gang violence in the city have been curbed thanks to the success of the Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination initiative.

BRAVE, a program created in 2011 by former Baton Rouge policeman Sgt. Herbert “Tweety” Anny to reduce Baton Rouge violence, is a replicate model of “Operation Ceasefire,” a longstanding program to reduce violent crime nationwide.

BRAVE research coordinator and Office of Social Service Research and Development Director Cecile Guin said there was a community need for the program.

“Louisiana is the deadliest gun violence state in the nation,” Guin said. We are so far above everyone else it’s embarrassing.”

Guin said she did not expect the program to be successful in the beginning.

Baton Rouge Violence Area Elimination, or BRAVE, has recently gained support and recognition from the Baton Rouge community.

The first time she and Anny proposed the grant to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, she said, it was shut down and not funded.

“We got good feedback, though, and decided to write

the second grant in 2012,” Guin said. “Luckily, that one received funding.”

Since 2012, the initiative has been granted more than $4.5 million thanks to federal funding, OJJDP, the Community Violence Prevention

Program and BRAVE winning the Byrne Criminal Justice Award in 2013.

“The support we’ve been given, especially from the University and its students, is overwhelming,” Guin said.

“It’s crazy, in a wonderful way, how interested they all are in it.”

Guin said students are always volunteering to help out at BRAVE’s community clean-up days. Some even participate in researching crime statistics and mapping data, she said.

Mechanical engineering junior Cameron Fahrig said he hopes the University will stay as involved with the program as it is now to keep campus a safe place for students and to continue affecting surrounding communities.

Guin said the impact the BRAVE and University coalition has formed is significant.

“We’ve already seen a decrease in violent crime by 25 percent since the first grant was awarded to us, the biggest of which was in aggravated assault,” Guin said.

When she first headed

BRAVE research at the University, Guin said she thought Baton Rouge violence would be heavily gang-related, but it was more domestic violence than homicide.

“It was interesting to watch that develop,” Guin said.

Within the coming year, Guin said she hopes BRAVE makes more progress in establishing better communal relationships between law enforcement and citizens.

“We still have a lot of work to do, especially since people don’t trust the ‘bureaucracy’,” she said. “But I think we’re all ‘brave’ enough to tackle what’s ahead of us.”

Fahrig said he is confident BRAVE will help civilians — especially those his own age — feel more protected and confident to call law enforcement officials to resolve issues.

“It’s going to give students and civilians even more reassurance to know steps are being taken to make campus and Baton Rouge a safer place,” Fahrig said.

“And for this reason, I’m definitely willing to further support the program.”

Parity separates NFL from other leagues THE CUBAN CANNON TOMMY ROMANACH Sports Columnist

240-pound behemoth from Katy, Texas.

Hunter forced himself into the starting lineup in the 2013-14 season in week four against Auburn and has held the role ever since after posting eight tackles and a quarterback hurry.

Even after the breakout season in which Hunter was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week after his performance against Florida, he dedicated himself to getting better in the offseason.

So the then-sophomore lineman spent his days in the weight room and followed a strict diet to reduce his body fat. The results were noticeable.

“I’m at about 3 percent [body fat] right now,” Hunter said. “I’m trying to go even lower.”

With the added expectations Hunter has more pressure on him than he did last

The NFL returns Thursday night as the defending champion Seattle Seahawks play the Green Bay Packers, so excuse me if I get chills just thinking about it.

Everyone has one inanimate thing he or she cares for too much, and that’s what the NFL is for me. I started playing fantasy football when I was five, and I can’t keep track of the amount of times I’ve watched “Any Given Sunday.” (I had a perplexing childhood.)

Some of the appeals of the NFL are obvious: It’s the highest level of play for the country’s most popular sport, it features an incredible trophy and I spent the majority of my life in Texas.

The biggest reason, however, is something I’ve learned after watching years of the NFL. The only thing you can count on every year is parity itself.

If you aren’t following, look at the 12 teams that made the playoffs in 2013 and compare them to the teams who made it in 2012. Or take a look at the teams that made it in 2012 and compare them with those from 2011. I can keep going because it’s all the same — major turnover every season.

In the past five seasons, at least half of the NFC playoff teams did not make it the season before. In addition, the NFL has not seen a team win consecutive

D.J. Welter, LSU linebacker

BY trey labat tlabat@lsureveille.com Ask Danielle Hunter’s teammates what they call him and you’ll get a variety of answers.

The junior defensive end, who has become known for his ripped physique and fast play along the defensive line, has received several different nicknames from his teammates.

“Chief [defensive coordinator John Chavis] calls him Tarzan,” laughed senior running back Terrence Magee. “That’s probably my favorite one, but there are a bunch out there. I call him ‘The Terminator.’”

Magee said the team gets a laugh out of picturing the veiny, muscular Hunter swinging from trees in the jungle, using his long arms as leverage to get around.

And it’s those long arms that have Hunter poised for what many people think could be a breakout season for the 6-foot-6-inch,

Youthful Tigers anchored by talented veteran midfielders

BY david gray dgray@lsureveille.com It’s no secret the 2014 LSU soccer team is one of the youngest squads coach Brian Lee has sent onto the pitch during his 10 years with the program. Of the 21 players to see action through the Tigers’ first four games, 14 have been underclassmen, including eight freshmen.

But the club’s overall youth and inexperience isn’t a factor among LSU’s midfielders.

The Tigers’ midfield unit boasts several players who have extensive experience at both the collegiate and international levels. With the plethora of youth that fills the rest of the roster,

much of LSU’s success this season will depend on the group’s ability to effectively manage the attack while providing extra reassurance for the squad’s young defensive back line and goalkeeper.

But Lee isn’t worried about how his experienced group will handle the task.

“I think they feel a great responsibility to the team, not so much pressure,” Lee said.

“They’re older, veteran players who have a lot of games under their belts who are leaders on the team. They’re also kids who you’d want to take that responsibility.”

A strong midfield is nothing new to those who’ve followed the LSU soccer program since

Lee took over. Of the 20 players who garnered first-team or second-team All-Southeastern Conference honors, 13 were midfielders.

But the midfield unit Lee has pieced together this season may be his strongest yet.

“We are all very talented, and I’m just happy to have the opportunity to be on the field because any of the girls that are on the bench could be in my spot,” said junior midfielder Fernanda Pina.

Pina’s claim isn’t far off the mark. Three of the squad’s midfielders — Pina along with sophomore Emma Fletcher and junior Natalia Gomez-Junco — have

Golf coach Winstead seeks to return Tigers to former glory Winstead enters his 10th season as coach

BY Brian Pellerin bpellerin@lsureveille.com In 2005, the LSU men’s golf program was far from the power that it was in the late 1980s when future PGA star David Toms and the Tigers won two Southeastern Conference championships in 1986 and 1987.

The Tigers have not won an SEC title since 1987, but they are on their way back to contention.

To end the 2004-2005 season, the Tigers sat at No. 44 in the Golfweek Magazine rankings. The team finished 24th in the NCAA West Regional, failing to advance to the NCAA Championship Tournament and leading to changes for the program.

The following season,

Chuck Winstead took the reins as the head coach of the golf program. As a player from 1989 to 1991, Winstead played during one of LSU’s most successful times and he wanted to bring those winning ways back to his school.

“I knew that the golf program was in pretty bad shape and as an alum and a former player I wanted to do everything I could to help it,” Winstead said.

Now entering his 10th season, Winstead has revived the program, but not without help along the way.

“One person can’t build a program,” Winstead said. “It takes an athletic department.

It takes the fundraising of the [Tiger Athletic Foundation]. It takes our alums. You have to have vision. You have to have focus and direction given to that, but it has been a collective effort.”

It’s easy for me to translate that into the program because I love it. I care about it. I was part of it. I played here. I love this school.”

Notebook: Miles excited to christen new stadium Sciambra LSU preparing for highjoins powered Bearkat offense football team than a possible slight difference in wind conditions.

BY Tyler Nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com

The LSU football team will show off a newly renovated stadium Saturday in the Tigers’ home opener against Sam Houston State, and LSU coach Les Miles hopes the fans show up in droves to see it.

The new facelift has expanded Tiger Stadium to a capacity of 102,321, and Miles said he’s itching to get the first game in the updated venue under his belt.

“I would certainly say christening the stadium is something the team, the fans and the faithful should understand,” Miles said. “It should be a loud and very enthusiastic crowd.”

Although Tiger Stadium can fit almost 10,000 more fans than it previously could, Miles said he couldn’t imagine a louder venue affecting his players.

“They have always played in front of a stadium that is full and loud,” Miles said. “They would not recognize Tiger Stadium any other way.”

Miles also said he did not expect the new design to cause any unexpected problems other

OFFENSIVE LINE LOOKS TO IMPROVE The Tigers’ offensive front struggled in the first half of its debut against a young Wisconsin front seven, but Miles predicted little shake-up for this weekend’s contest.

He praised senior right guard Hoko Fanaika for his performance in practice this week and confirmed sophomore Ethan Pocic as the starting center against Sam Houston State.

He remains unsure as to whether or not senior center Elliott Porter will see the field.

“There were some guys in the first game who started that had some miscues, but that’s all part of the first game,” Miles said. “[Fanaika’s] had a really good week of practice, and he really was pretty physical in [the Wisconsin] game.”

He also named senior offensive lineman Evan Washington as the backup at every position on the offensive line.

Shifting Gears After a game against a runheavy Wisconsin team, the Bearkats will be a change in pace for LSU’s defense as they have averaged more than 613 yards of total offense and 43

points in their first two games this season.

Sam Houston State is led by sophomore quarterback Jared Johnson, who has completed 62 passes on 99 attempts for 703 yards and five touchdowns.

He also poses a threat on the ground, garnering 95 yards and a touchdown in 17 rush attempts this season.

Miles displayed confidence in the Tigers’ ability to put its

last contest behind them and properly prepare for a different style of offense.

“We shift gears pretty effectively,” Miles said. “Our coaches understand it’s a different week completely.”

season, when he emerged from a convoluted defensive end rotation to seize the starting spot by the throat.

But Hunter said he doesn’t read into anything going on in the media or look at preseason watchlists, choosing to focus on the field and let his play do the talking.

“I don’t pay attention to any of that stuff, man,” Hunter said. “My job is just to go out there and do what I can for the team.”

His teammates have noticed some change in Hunter though.

With the added confidence of a secure starting role and a successful season, his teammates have noticed Hunter take a vocal leadership role on the defensive line in practice.

Senior linebacker D.J. Welter said Hunter has become a fiery leader for a defense with several returning starters.

Welter said seeing Hunter grow into his role after receiving steady playing time reminded him of his junior season, when the veteran linebacker finally became a constant in the linebacking corps.

“It’s really cool to see a guy grow and develop like Danielle has,” Welter said. “I can relate a lot after last season, and it’s what I assume the feeling coaches get when they see guys grow through the years.”

Hunter, who is normally quiet and reserved with the media, transforms into a commander in practice, motivating players by example and by force.

“He gets in peoples’ faces and he’ll yell at you,” said freshman defensive tackle Greg Gilmore.

“He’s already a scary enough guy just looking at him, but when he tells you to do something you do it.”

Gilmore said the young LSU defensive line has noticed the change in Hunter’s demeanor and his teaching helps everyone along the defensive front improve.

Freshman defensive tackle Frank Herron, who converted from his high school position of defensive end, said Hunter knows the correct assignments and techniques of every position along the defensive front. Herron said Hunter helped make his positional transition as smooth as possible.

“He’s just a great leader. He stays on you. He’s always talking to you,” Herron said. “I’m always trying to match my motor with this guy, his intensity. It just never stops.”

“On the field he’s like, ‘You better do this, boy, you better keep your pad level right, he keeps all of the youngins right in his pants pocket, always by him,’” Herron said.

With a new role and added expectations, Hunter will have to work hard to earn the many names his teammates have taken to calling him.

“I’ve heard ‘The Terminator,’ ‘Tarzan’ and ‘Robocop,’” Welter laughed. “But I’m sure there’s plenty more. Everyone has fun with it, Danielle just takes it in stride.”

Super Bowls since 2004.

The biggest difference between the NFL and other leagues is scheduling, made annually to favor teams at the bottom. Each team faces teams in its division and teams from two other divisions, but then play two more teams based on where it placed the season before.

For example, the Saints finished in 2nd place in the NFC South last season. This means beyond the teams they’re already scheduled to play, they will also face two teams that finished in 2nd place in their division.

With this method, a team that finished last in its division last season can win at home and beat the other two 4th place teams and potentially make the playoffs. The complete opposite result can happen with teams that won their division the year before.

Another factor is the hard salary cap put in place, preventing teams from spending money

Once the NFL enters the postseason, it only develops into a bigger crapshoot. NFL playoff rounds are one game rather than a series, leading to a better chance of an upset. Three of the last five Super Bowl winners lost six games or more, something that only happens with the proper rules put in place.

The interesting thing about this season is the chance of someone finally breaking the parity. The Seahawks have a great shot at becoming the first team in 10 years to win a second straight Super Bowl, and they’re my pick to win it all this season.

Stealing from the opposite gender’s closet is a pastime at this point.

The fashion industry has been marketing a more loose and relaxed fit called “The Boyfriend” jeans or shirt to the women’s section of clothing stores.

There’s been article after article on how to take items from the men’s section and adapt it into a female wardrobe. I’m even guilty of this; I love stealing men’s T-shirts, dress shirts and sweatshirts for a looser, more relaxed fit.

Men’s accessories are also adapted into a female’s wardrobe.

Sneakers, socks, beanies and watches are all things that can be bought in the men’s department, but later found in a female’s closet.

However, it seems that clothing companies can’t make “The Girlfriend” fit for the men’s section or take into consideration that there is more than the heterosexual relationship in today’s society.

To put it simply, gender roles and rules are changing. We can’t put everyone into little boxes labeled “male” or “female.” We also can’t expect that because someone is a woman she’ll want either women’s clothing, or women’s

LSU professor displays performance art talent

BY JOSHUA JACKSON jjackson@lsureveille.com It’s no secret creating a single work of art takes a large amount of time and skill. People grow up with dreams of writing a book or creating a film.

Kelli Scott Kelley, professor of painting and drawing at the School of Art and Design, not only found the time to make her dreams a reality, but she has also created an exhibit centered on her book “Accalia and the

Swamp Monster.”

Kelley describes the book as an “adult fairy tale” because of its mature images and dark tone.

Walking through her exhibit at the LSU Museum of Art, it’s easy to tell much of her work has an ominous theme.

The green-painted walls act as the host to Kelley’s works that are painted on found fabrics instead of canvases. She uses the repurposed clothes because they are “ecologically friendly.”

“These fabrics come with a

specific presence and history that I feel I can add to with my experience,” Kelley said.

Like most artists, Kelley grew up with her art. She was born and raised in Baton Rouge, where her mother painted as a hobby. Kelley soon began painting with her mother and received compliments on her early work. From there, she attended Baton Rouge Magnet High School when the school required students to declare a major. Without hesitation, Kelley chose art for her major, but she

University graduate’s exclusive brands make boutique special

BY MICHAEL TARVER mtarver@lsureveille.com University graduate Donnie Alfred went from studying nuclear science to owning a lifestyle boutique with some of the most exclusive brands in the Baton Rouge.

Alfred started selling Tshirts to a small clientele, but after realizing he could be successful doing this, he decided to put off his career in nuclear medicine and open his own store.

After seven years of profitable business in his first store location on Government Street, Alfred moved his lifestyle boutique Private Stock to its new location to College Row at Northgate.

Though most of the clothes seem to be geared toward men, with mostly collared polos, Oxfords and loose T-shirts,

Alfred said the brands he carries are also marketed to women and he sees a mixture of both demographics every day.

The store’s inventory is mostly focused around T-shirts and tennis shoes as well as Oxford and polo shirts, though Alfred said he only carries the best of the best in these items.

Alfred said in his time at the previous location, he sold to Baton Rouge entertainers, DJs and even high-powered lawyers.

Over the years, one of his biggest clients has been the LSU football team, he said.

“The players used to pack into three or four cars and make the trip to Government to buy from me,” Alfred said.

In comparison to many larger retail stores in Baton Rouge, Alfred said he is particular about the designs he sells and is

loyal to only a handful of brands.

But his critical nature in choosing what he sells has only built a stronger connection with the designers he pushes, he said.

In fact, Private Stock is the only store in the city where shoppers can find the brands he sells, Alfred said. These brands include The Hundreds, 10 Deep, Billionaire Boys Club, Staple and Stussy as well as overseas brands such as Marshall Artist from the United Kingdom.

“These [brands] are really stingy with their accounts,” Alfred said. “They don’t want every store to be selling it otherwise it wouldn’t be exclusive anymore.”

Exclusive is the word that sums up Private Stock.

Maroon 5 hits all the wrong notes

BY MEG RYAN mryan@lsureveille.com What are the good parts of Maroon 5’s newest album, “V”?

The album cover.

No, really. That’s it.

While the band has had its ups and downs in recent years, this has to be its worst release. It seems the musical decline after “Songs about Jane” is still real and true.

The album opens with all three earlier-released singles back to back, “Maps” followed by “Animals” and then “It Was Always You.” While all three singles have done fairly well, these are the album’s only powerful tracks. Placing them all back-to-back and in the beginning of the album was a mistake. Once these tracks are over, you may as well turn the album off because you won’t be missing much.

But if you keep the album on, it will continue into a rotation of slow songs and fast songs, all badly written.

Adam Levine’s vocals can’t even save these tracks from their dismal lyrics and bad beats.

It’s that bad.

None of these songs sound like an adult pop or rock band.

While bands do gain younger fans, the majority of Maroon 5’s fanbase comes from people that were there from the beginning. The people from the “Songs About Jane” era have aged, just like the band, and would most likely prefer to see growth and maturity in each newly released album.

courtesy of Interscope Records

Maroon 5 seems to do none of that. Instead of maturing, they seem to go backward. This album would be perfectly accepted by the 12-16 age group, but not the band’s older fans.

The album has one collaboration with Gwen Stefani. Because Stefani hasn’t put out solo music for a while and her No Doubt resurgence didn’t have the popularity most hoped for, this is just another kiss of death to the album.

“My Heart is Open” is supposed to be some type of moving duet, but all it’ll move listeners to do is turn it off. Compared to

the rest of the album, the lyrics aren’t bad, but the song itself is poorly constructed. A ballad should move the listener, but there’s absolutely nothing special about this one.

The deluxe album includes a song from Levine’s recently released movie, “Begin Again.”

That song actually isn’t bad and might be the record’s saving grace. But because it is just Levine and not really a Maroon 5 song at all, it can’t really be considered their work, just an addition to the record. Take that however you choose.

New Venture Theatre brings diverse talent to the Manship Theatre

0 Read the full reviews online at lsureveille.com/daily

The Manship Theatre in Baton Rouge has featured many great live performances since its opening nearly a decade ago, and now the theatre is set to play host to one of Baton Rouge’s most ambitious and fresh theatrical acts.

New Venture Theatre recently was given a residency within the Manship Theatre and will be hosting its productions at the Manship Theatre in the Shaw Center for the Arts.

Greg Williams Jr., the Artistic Director and founder of New Venture Theatre, is enthusiastic about the deal.

“For me, it means we’re doing something right,” Williams said. “It’s not easy to run an arts organization in Louisiana, but at the same time, we’re the most cultural state in the nation, which has always been a weird thing for me to understand.”

New Venture Theatre was born from Williams’ dream of looking at theater from new,

diverse perspectives with fresh production twists. After working with the Negro Ensemble Company in New York, Williams returned to Baton Rouge to make his dreams a reality.

“I realized there were a lot of voices in the world of theatre that wanted exposure,” Williams said.

“There’s the Latin community, the homosexual community. A lot of people did not have outlets to express themselves, so I decided to start this theatre company that was based on diversity to showcase all the voices of our nation.”

New Venture Theatre has been hard at work in the Manship Theatre’s Hartley Vey workshop on its upcoming performance of “In the Heights.”

“In the Heights” is a Tony Award-winning musical about a Latin community in New York City’s Washington Heights.

“The best way to describe it is how ‘Rent’ was meant to define the ’90s generation, ‘In the Heights’ was meant to define the millennial generation,” Williams said.

“It changed the entire game of

musical theatre.”

Williams praised the music of “In the Heights,” calling it “brilliant.” He said the music is a mix of hip-hop and sound samples with a traditional musical soundscape.

Williams also expressed why his performers enhance the musical experience to new levels.

“Honestly, I have the most talented actors in the entire city of Baton Rouge working this piece,” Williams said. “Each one of them could drop an album tomorrow and it would sell out.”

The first performance of “In the Heights” will be on Thursday, Sept. 11 and will run through Sunday, Sept. 14.

New Venture Theatre’s residency in the Manship Theatre is sure to attract the community’s attention with its diverse style and interesting take on production as a whole. New Venture Theatre’s interest in diverse character stories paints a colorful portrait of real people in the hopes that someone in the audience can relate to them.

“I want people to hear everybody’s voices,” Williams said.

ART, from page 9 a professor.

“I try to bring my real life experiences into the classroom,” Kelley said. “Art is a hard profession to succeed in, so these students have to be as professional as possible.”

Juggling her time as a teacher, mother and artist has been difficult for Kelley, but she said she finds dedication to her craft as the guide to balancing the many hats she wears. Kelley carves out studio time to create more art.

Working years in advance, Kelley continues to meet deadlines for upcoming exhibits. Those deadlines help her find a schedule that works best for her multiple endeavors.

Kelley draws inspiration from fictional works and her own daydreams, which is how “Accalia and the Swamp Monster” began.

She always has a narrative story within her work and decided to create a narrative work of her own.

In 2007, Kelley went on a sabbatical in Italy to gather ideas on how to tell her story and create images based on the tale. While in a museum, she found her inspiration and returned to the U.S. to begin her work.

Kelley began writing “Accalia and the Swamp Monster” in 2009.

In 2010, she started creating the artwork which would correspond with the book. Using the ethereal feel of images from the Renaissance era, Kelley developed her characters and used her drawing techniques on found fabrics to flesh them out. This April, the book was released to the public.

Tonight, the LSU Museum of Art will hold a reception to celebrate the connecting gallery.

“It was always about making a cycle of work that told a story,” Kelley said.

The exhibit features copies of the book, images from the book along with a few non-included works, an iPad with a copy of the book downloaded onto it and sculptures relating to the book and an eerie short film titled “Bird and Squirrel.”

The film was made in 2009 using the inner hallways of the

old dormitories within Tiger Stadium. “Bird and Squirrel” focuses on a boy and girl who are trying to renew life on the planet.

“I had an office in the stadium back then and it just looked creepy enough to film in,” Kelley said.

Through all of these elements, Kelley shows her love for performance art and how it encompasses multiple art forms.

Kelley hopes that readers of the book take a personal message or inspiration from the book instead of focusing on the main character being a two-headed anthropomorphic fox.

In the fall of 2013, professor of art and photography Thomas Neff had a stroke. While in speech therapy, Neff called Kelley to inform her that he was using her book as a tool to relearn how to talk.

“It meant a lot to know that my book could help someone heal,” Kelley said.

The reception for “Accalia and the Swamp Monster” is at 6 p.m. tonight. It is free for University students and members of the museum and $10 for non-members.

“For the last seven years I’ve been telling people if you can bring a better cardigan back to me after the one you just bought from this brand I’ll buy it back,” Alfred said. “No one has ever even tried.”

Also, the brands he sells come out with new lines every six weeks instead of three times a year like most generic

page 11 completely shaken—a kilt is the same thing as a skirt, but the first is used with men and the latter is used with women—this is the first step in creating something that doesn’t put everyone in a little box.

Being able to combine clothing items, a little from the men’s section, then from the women’s, and finally from the everyone section, will create a well-rounded closet that anyone can reach into and find an outfit for the day.

With the fashion industry constantly evolving, this seems like the right next step. I’m proud of designers who put things on the runway they think everyone can wear.

With “everyone” clothing, there will be no debate on whether

this was originally meant for the men’s or women’s section or if it can be adapted into the opposite gender’s wardrobe.

Genderless clothing will allow the consumer to decide if it personally works for them and how they would adapt it into their clothing collection.

While I don’t think men’s and women’s sections will ever disappear, I think “everyone” clothing will become a new addition and eventually become a norm just like its sister clothing sections.

retail stores, he said.

Though he sells higher end clothes, Alfred said he knocks the price down on some shirts after they have been on the racks for a while. The price range for most of the clothes at Private Stock is $20 up to $80 for a shirt. Private Stock is also the only clothing store in Baton Rouge that accepts TigerCASH. The theme of the store seems to revolve around a mixture of LSU sports and hip-hop. The layout has original aspects such as a medium size fridge full of T-shirts and Oxfords hanging in a makeshift wooden basketball locker.

Every shoe the store sells is

displayed in its own plastic case, arranged on the walls of the boutique. Alfred said the distinctive shoes are what draw most of his female shoppers.

Looking back on his years in retail, Alfred said he was originally just an LSU graduate who wanted to make a little money selling quality t-shirts for all sizes. After realizing he could make a career in higher end retail as a young man, he decided to open his first store. With years of expansion, his customer base grew leading to the current location of Private Stock.

A Change of Mind Education key to ending discrimination for LGBT community

– ngo cann diew

“Mr. Brillon, Does the Reveille consist of anything besides liberal screech-apes, swines and vipers?

It feels like everyday the opinions consist merely of more liberal/bourgeois moralizing about equality. Like much of the national commentariat, you’re bordering on self parody.”

The Louisiana LGBT community is outraged after U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman ruled the state ban on same-sex marriage constitutional Wednesday.

This is the latest news to contribute to an awful reality: Louisiana needs to be educated.

In his ruling, Feldman concluded that “public attitude might be becoming more diverse, but any right to same-sex marriage is not yet so entrenched as to be fundamental.”

Society’s attitude is morphing, but we still have to educate people on the importance of laws that protect the LGBT community.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council voted to reject a “fairness ordinance” last month, which would have banned discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in areas of housing, employment and public accommodation.

But Baton Rouge’s leaders aren’t aware of the importance of this ordinance to the LGBT community.

In the council’s defense, the vote came after multiple sessions of heated debate where the councilmembers heard the pros and cons of the law

from the public. Given the conservative majority in Louisiana, the cons outweighed the pros.

Council member Buddy Amoroso said the ordinance would be a violation of religious liberties, and while the LGBT community does face discrimination, the issue isn’t serious enough to need government intervention.

This kind of conclusion can only be credited to a lack of education.

The agenda isn’t, and will never be, to violate religious belief. Religious freedom is a guaranteed right for every American. Living in a city free from discrimination should be a guaranteed right, as well.

“The same thing happened earlier this year when they tried to protest the anti-sodomy law,” said Julianne Martin, president of Spectrum, the University’s LGBT student organization. “When you relate an issue to something that digresses from religious influence, it is automatically wrong. We have to teach people that different doesn’t equal wrong.”

Martin brings to light the LGBT community’s biggest obstacle: the public’s lack of education.

LSU’s new LGBTQ studies minor is a step in the right direction. Students now have the opportunity to learn about the culture in an academic setting, which is beneficial for both LGBT and non-LGBT students.

“Everyone I’ve talked to is re-

ally excited about the minor and the classes,” Martin said. “By encouraging students who aren’t in the LGBTQ community to sign up and educate themselves, we can end hate.”

The chances of a gay LSU student getting evicted from his apartment because he is caught holding hands with another guy may seem far-fetched, but in the current state of the law, it is legal.

Baton Rouge leaders are always searching for ways to revitalize the city’s image. I encourage them to advocate for LGBT rights just as much as I encourage the Baton Rouge LGBT community to speak up.

Educating others on LGBT rights can be as simple as talking to the people around us, calling our representatives and making sure issues are known. Our voice is the most valuable tool, and it is our job to use it.

After all, it is the job of public officials to make the city the best it can be, but it is the citizen’s job to tell the official how to do it.

We may not be surprised when judges continue to reject proposals on LGBT issues, and until we acknowledge this as a serious violation of civil rights, nothing is going to change.

page 15 The College of Business was the largest of the six colleges to receive a new dean this year with an enrollment of 1,927 students last semester. The College of Science came in second with 1,633 students.

White served as interim dean of the college for almost two years before his hiring in February. White said in a news release that the college will help spur Louisiana’s economy and move the state ahead.

Haynie said she is working with the College of Humanities and Social Sciences to develop a pre-law program and looks forward to collaboration with the law school.

College of Music and Dramatic Arts Dean Todd Queen, who came to the University

from Colorado State University, said in a news release that during every stage of the search process, he was impressed with the students, staff, administration and programs at the University.

LSU President F. King Alexander said the University is also looking to hire about 100 new faculty in the next year to fill places as faculty leave for retirement and other jobs and to match the growing enrollment numbers in certain colleges.

absence and said it was his organization’s job to gather student support.

“Paul’s more focused on getting votes in other areas and fundraising,” Hebert said.

Hudson reaffirmed Dietzel’s dedication to the University’s campus.

“Paul has been very involved in this campus since he started running,” Hudson said.

The College Libertarians booth, situated across from the Dietzel table, sought to provide

an alternative to the “two-partysystem” contenders by educating students on Libertarian congressional candidate Rufus Craig and Libertarian Senate candidate Brannon McMorris.

“We’re trying to gain momentum,” said College Libertarians President Cerys McCarthy.

McCarthy, a bioengineering sophomore, said she hoped a libertarian victory in the House or Senate could help to end government intrusions on various social issues.

RAD CLASS

Rape Aggression Defense Systems A 12-hour Self-Defense Class for Women I commend Student Media for advancing dialogue about sexual violence prevention and support in the recent article in The Daily Reveille, “Breaking the Silence on Sexual Assault”. However, the article contained incorrect and incomplete information on which the accompanying editorial was based. As stated in the article, the issue of

interpersonal violence is highlighted in the orientation skit coordinated by the Student Health Center.

Additionally, the University mandates sexual violence prevention

education for all incoming students through the MyStudentBody Essentials Course, an established best practice. Both of these initiatives are vital to addressing the issue of interpersonal violence, because we know that students experience the greatest risk of

being a victim of interpersonal violence and, thereby, are also afforded the most opportunities for intervention, during the first few months of their college career.

However, these are only two pieces of a far more comprehensive prevention plan that employs bystander intervention strategies, defines consent parameters and enlists males as partners in prevention.

In addition to education, the University Lighthouse Program, established in 2004, provides support and treatment to survivors of interpersonal violence, including evidence collection. LSU is the only university in the state and one of few in the region that provides Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) services. While the Student Health Center is not a 24-hour facility, we have cultivated relationships with campus and community partners to ensure that there are no gaps in service provision. The Program brochure and website both provide on-campus resources and after-hours

resources, including two 24-hour hotlines, as well as the local domestic violence shelter, sexual trauma center, and law enforcement. Further, students who present for after-hours care are referred to the Lighthouse Program for on-campus support.

These partnerships support continuity of care and effective use of resources.

The Lighthouse Program is supported by Lighthouse Advocates. The advocates’ role is to ensure that every survivor receives comprehensive and consistent information about support resources on campus and in the community, including mental health services, and to assist students in navigating the University system. Their role is not, and should not be, to provide counseling, but rather to educate survivors about options and to empower them to determine the course of action that is most appropriate, given their unique situation.
