Reggie’s response to column emphasizes racism

Students should cognizant of bars’ discrimination

BY CARRIE GRACE HENDERSON @carriegraceh On Wednesday afternoon, LSUPD arrested Sean Michael Bennett, 24, for a string of laptop thefts in Middleton Library over the past two weeks.

After receiving several complaints beginning Sept. 15, LSUPD set up a plainclothes operation in Middleton to stem the thefts.

According to the online crime log, LSUPD responded to reports of thefts in Middleton on Sept. 15, 21, 22, 24 and 29 in addition to the Sept. 30 incident, which resulted in an arrest. At least three incidents took place on the third floor.

Plainclothes police officers, stationed on the third floor of Middleton around 2 p.m. Sept.

30, observed Bennett take an Apple MacBook Air. He attempted to conceal it and leave the library, police said.

After police detained and questioned him, Bennett admitted to taking six laptops on six different occasions from Middleton, LSUPD spokesperson Capt. Cory Lalonde said.

Bennett was charged with six counts of felony theft and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

Upon identifying Bennett, LSUPD found they had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for possession of stolen property in connection with a bicycle theft on campus earlier this year.

East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office also had two warrants out for his arrest — one for misdemean-

LSU Dining event caters to students’ requests for favorite meals

H

omesick students didn’t have to travel far to eat their favorite home-cooked fish tacos or bratwurst Thursday. LSU Dining’s executive chef Jon Jackson prepared them on campus in The 459 Commons and The EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille 5 as part of First Year Experience’s “Taste of Home” event.

The LSU dining halls accommodate out-of state-students on “Taste of Home” is an event sponsored by Thursday by serving their favorite meals from their home states.

LSU Dining and Chartwells Higher Education, a dining company that serves more than 230 universities nationwide. Chartwells regional catering director Cheramie Gosnell said they chose to host “Taste of Home” on Thursday because parents and students will be on campus celebrating family weekend, which begins today.

Parents and students were able to submit their own menus online for Jackson to cook.

“It’s just a lot of fun to let them have an input and submit their own menu,” Gosnell said. “We were really able to pull it together.”

Chartwells’ senior director of dining services Armando Chacon said this is the second time the

Yesterday Reggie’s’ Twitter account responded to Clarke Perkins’ column, “Tigerland’s dress code is discriminatory.”

The bar claimed its policies only served to protect its patrons and adhere to standards promoted by other public institutions.

But Reggie’s thrives off racism. The bar is designed to make white people feel comfortable by discriminating against black people. Aside from the institutionally racist dress code, Reggie’s’ Confederate flag sends a not-so-subtle hint to make LSU’s black community feel unwelcomed.

The bar’s response to Perkins highlights why racism lives on. The rest of society’s subscription to covert racism in the form of dress code policies does not justify a policy allowing discrimination against black people.

The response cites East Baton Rouge Parish School System and various Baton Rouge banks’ policies banning do-rags, exposed chains and sunglasses worn inside.

Think, for a moment, about who wears these items. For the most part, it’s not fraternity guys. It’s not hipsters. It’s not video game nerds. Black people are the target of this policy, plain and simple.

It’s not just Tigerland, though. This is a broader societal issue, especially in Baton Rouge.

Louisiana’s first Nordstrom Rack opens Reveille BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY

BY BRITTANY HAGOORT @Brittanyhagoort

Baton Rouge shoppers now have even more racks to sift through for affordable clothing — specifically the garments and accessories in Nordstrom Rack.

Nordstrom Rack, a division of Nordstrom, offers customers clothing, accessories of wellknown brands at marked-down prices and held its grand opening at the Mall Of Louisiana on Thursday.

The store is located at the power center, taking over the unit previously occupied by American Factory Direct Furniture Outlets. The store’s opening was announced in October 2014, and customers were prepared for the early morning opening.

The grand opening began with festivities, including raffles and dance competitions, while the crowd waited in line with complimentary coffee and scones. The raffle included 30 gift cards for $100, and one winner received early access to the store with a $1,000 gift card.

The doors opened at 9 a.m., and as the customers started flooding in, the new employees welcomed them and aided their shopping experience.

Nordstrom Rack spokes-

person Jessica Canfield said in an email that Nordstrom Rack chooses its locations for new stores by considering locations where there is high customer demand.

This is the first opening for Nordstrom Rack in Louisiana. Another store opening in Lafayette, Louisiana, is planned for spring 2016.

Many of the customers waiting for the store’s opening have only had the opportunity of shopping at Nordstrom Rack stores online or

across state lines.

“I’m very excited. I’ve only been to one Nordstrom Rack in California,” shopper Sheila Payton said.

As fall has just arrived, stores are offering new styles for the cooler weather. Payton said she was at the grand opening to check out new clothes for the fall season.

Canfield said the company is excited for its first Louisiana opening. Nordstrom Rack hopes the customers will let them know what they can improve

The Daily

on to best serve shoppers in the future.

“Mall of Louisiana offers a great mix of retail, entertainment and restaurants and is easily accessible for our customers,” Canfield said. “It’s a great fit for us, and we’re excited to be here.”

Five arrested for trespassing in Huey P. Long Field House

LSUPD responded to reports of trespassing in the Huey P. Long Field House swimming pool area around 10:40 p.m.

Sept. 27, said LSUPD spokesperson Capt. Cory Lalonde.

Officers found Brooke Biolo, 22, Jacob Braun, 21,

Timothy Broskus, 22, Justin Newhart, 18, and Shane McGrath, 24, in the Field House upon arrival.

All five were taken into custody and arrested for simple criminal trespassing and issued misdemeanor summonses.

Police arrested a man who was “harassing” customers in Barnes and Noble at LSU on Sept. 25 around 5:20 p.m., according to the arrest report.

Store employees called police around 1:30 p.m. the same day to report the suspicious person, identified as Earl Gregorie, 60, who was then told to leave by police.

A store employee called LSUPD again when Gregorie returned later that day. Police located him near Raphael Semmes and Highland Roads and arrested him for remaining after being forbidden.

He was issued a misdemeanor summons and escorted off campus.

LSUPD arrested Herbert Lee Wineland, III, 37, on one count of simple criminal damage to property and 15 counts of criminal mischief spanning as far back as April 2015, Lalonde said.

A complainant told police in April a man had been damaging her license plate while her car was parked in the Human Ecology Building Lot over the past several months.

Police later observed

Wineland on surveillance footage possibly tampering with the victim’s car.

Around 3 p.m. Sept. 23, officers in the lot observed Wineland attempt to damage the property again, Lalonde said.

He was detained and upon questioning admitted to damaging the license plate on all occasions, Lalonde said. Wineland was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

CRIME

Campus sexual assault reporting decreases from last year Stalking reports also on the decline STAFF REPORTS @lsureveille The number of reported forcible sexual offenses on campus tripled from three in 2012 to nine in 2014, according to the 2015 Annual Security and Fire Report released by the LSU Police Department on Thursday. The number of offenses peaked in 2013, with 10 reported cases.

Only one case of on-campus, non-forcible sexual violence was reported in 2014.

Campus saw 15 reported instances of stalking in 2013, which decreased to nine the following year. In 2014, seven cases of domestic violence and eight cases of dating violence were reported.

LSUPD released the report in cooperation with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, which

mandates crime statistics be disclosed to students for safety and awareness purposes at colleges that receive federal funding.

The report discloses information about crimes committed on and near campus. It contains statistics for the previous three years and details institutional policies concerning campus safety.

Safety-related resources, such as evacuation plans, the university’s emergency text messaging system and the LSU SHIELD mobile app, are also outlined in the document.

LSU Women’s Center director Summer Steib, who told The Daily Reveille last year she was disappointed in the underreporting of sexual assault on campus following the 2014 report’s release, said she saw some improvements in programs implemented to combat sexual assault.

One in four college women are sexually assaulted and report it, Steib said in a 2014

interview with The Daily Reveille.

“The purpose of the Security and Fire Report is to give a snapshot of campus safety,” Steib said. “Whenever you’re talking about sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking, it’s a reality for many college students,” LSUPD spokesman Capt.

Cory Lalonde said the police department wanted to inform students about resources available that are just a phone call or check-up away.

“We want to encourage those [affected] to report, so that information was included in the report,” Lalonde said.

The issue of sexual assault resurfaced this year when LSU implemented various programs to put an end to sexual violence, he said.

LSUPD offers resources for victims of sexual violence.

Its Rape Aggression Defense Systems Basic Self Defense program is a comprehensive,

12-hour course for women that includes physical training and education for women on risk awareness, reduction, recognition and avoidance.

The LSU Office of Wellness and Health Promotion and LSUPD have R.A.D. Certified Instructors on staff who regularly host the R.A.D. Basic Self Defense Class on LSU’s campus, according to the report.

“We think it’s a good opportunity for our female students to have those extra tools in their toolbox, should they ever need them and should they ever be in a position where they have to use them,” Lalonde said.

In addition to R.A.D., the report mentions the university’s Lighthouse Program, which defines the term “survivor” as “someone who has directly experienced a sexual assault,” while “at-risk” refers to someone who “is in an abusive/violent dating relationship, who is experiencing further abuse after terminating the relationship, or

who is being stalked.”

The program has a vested interest in obtaining an accurate account of the number of sexual assaults occurring on- or off-campus involving student survivors, according to the report.

Lighthouse Advocates file police reports and university judicial reports, obtain emotional support and medical care and arrange safe housing for victims.

Another key resource mentioned is the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program, which provides a forensic exam, medical screening, testing and support at no cost to the victim.

Steib said LSU has a longstanding history of actively addressing sexual assault on campus.

“Whenever you look at the institutional response that LSU has, it’s a really holistic and robust support system put in place for students and our entire LSU community,” Steib said.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Senate supports removal of mid-term exam week from calendar Senators debate Faculty Senate resolution

BY STAFF REPORTS @lsureveille The LSU Student Senate voted Wednesday to support Faculty Senate Resolution 1511, which would remove “midsemester examination period” from the academic calendar.

The legislation, Student Government Resolution No. 9 by senator Leah Sanders, was approved with 91 percent support.

The result came after senators spent nearly two hours debating and amending the resolution.

Debate on SGR No. 9 began after six new senators were sworn in and took their seats on the senate floor. Abishek Stanley,

Lily LaGrange and Josh Pickell were appointed to vacant seats for the University College Center for Freshman Year, and Marciel Whitehurst, Charla Hughes and Jessica Simpson took Graduate School seats.

The Faculty Senate resolution, sponsored by math professor Charles Delzell, aims to reaffirm the importance of midsemester grades and abolish the mid-semester exam period from the calendar, though it does not translate to any changes in actual examinations.

“Teachers are still required to turn in mid-term grades,” Sanders said during the meeting. “There will still be a day when mid-term grades are due, which will still be in the syllabus and the academic calendar.

It shouldn’t affect your syllabus

too much.”

Joanie Lyons, the senate’s communication director, presented the results of a survey regarding the Faculty Senate’s resolution. Lyons said 137 students responded, and every senior college was represented, except for the School of Veterinary Medicine, the Paul M. Hebert Law School and UCFY. Lyons said the second question of the survey read, “LSU Faculty Senate passed legislation to remove the ‘mid-semester examination period’ designation from the academic calendar. If approved, faculty would still be required to submit mid-semester grades, but there would be no official midterm week on the calendar.

Do you agree or disagree with this decision?”

Around 86 percent of students surveyed said they agreed with the Faculty Senate’s resolution. A subsequent question asked students to elaborate on their answer, Lyons said, and most student answered that professors did not schedule their midterm exams in the period to begin with and that the period causes a “bottleneck” of tests that week.

The Senate amended the original resolution to include a designation for exact halfway point to serve as a checkpoint for students. The amendment

would not change the date when mid-semester grades are due.

Some senators mentioned the idea of having grades due on the exact halfway mark, though Sanders disagreed with the idea.

Sanders said she agreed with the amendment to designate the mid-point, but said it should be used for student deadlines.

“It won’t work,” Sanders said.

“Teachers won’t be able to do that. If we do move the day up for mid-semester grades to be due, teachers will start to cram assignments and tests into this five-day period that we took out.”

Tiger Band, Golden Girls brace for heat on football gamedays Students feel the heat, too

BY MEREDITH MUSSO @Musso_Meredith Following a heat index of 118 degrees for the Sept. 19 football home game against Auburn University, the Tiger Band and Golden Girls are taking the usual precautions to beat the heat for tomorrow’s matchup against Eastern Michigan University.

Besides the football team, the Tiger Marching Band is one of the largest and most visible organizations on gameday, with 325 members playing 15 different types of instruments.

“The heat can be an issue when it comes to the Tiger Band’s uniforms,” said biological engineering freshman and French horn player Nick Moss.

“The material that the uniforms are made out of is pretty heavy, but it breathes pretty well. It’s not as hot as you would think.”

Band director Roy King tells his band members to hydrate in the days leading up to each game, Moss said.

“No one has passed out, which is very surprising because of the heat,” Moss said. “They do everything that needs to be done

The student section begins to fill up Sept. 19 at Tiget Stadium before the LSU-Auburn football game. to make sure we don’t pass out.

They’ve been doing it for such a long time that they know exactly what to do to prevent us from overheating.”

Other victims of the heat include the Golden Girls, who perform outside at the pregame show, at halftime and during the traditional walk down

Victory Hill.

The capes they wear before the game are as heavy as the band members’ uniforms, said Golden Girl Meagan Rodrigue, a civil engineering junior.

“We practice every day in the heat from 3:30 to 5:20,” Rodrigue said. “Because of this, we

are encouraged to stay hydrated for practice as well as games.

Our band director and captains always advise us to drink lots of water before games so we can perform at our best.”

Students who are not under the watch of a director or captain are often the people most in danger of passing out

or getting overheated, Moss said.

“I have almost passed out at two LSU football games this year,” said psycholoy freshman Amelie Kramer. “I forget to drink water and stay hydrated.

You get caught up in the activities of gamedays and forget to take care of your body.”

This weekend, the LSU volleyball team will travel 1,188 miles to Athens, Georgia, stopping in Auburn, Alabama, on the way back to Baton Rouge.

The Tigers (5-8, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) are set to face the University of Georgia at 6 p.m. Friday night in the Ramsey Center.

LSU coach Fran Flory recalled Georgia’s gym because of its compactibility. The Ramsey Center is the student recreational center on Georgia’s campus.

“Playing Georgia in Georgia is always a daunting task,” Flory said. “It’s a small gym. We enjoy playing in it.”

Georgia (5-8, 0-1 SEC) lost in straight sets in its first conference match against the University of Tennessee on Sept. 27.

Flory, however, knows not to overlook the Bulldogs.

“They will be a great blocking team,” Flory said. “They have a setter that distributes the ball well. They have some good pieces. They are a very dynamic and very athletic team.”

The Tigers expect to be the underdogs going into the match — a familiar position for them this season.

LSU looks to avoid third consecutive conference loss Tigers to take on Commodores tonight

BY C.J. RUCKER @Ruckmatic The LSU soccer team will take on Vanderbilt University in an important Southeastern Conference match at 7 p.m. tonight at the LSU Soccer Stadium.

The Commodores (5-5-2, 1-21 SEC) tied the University of Tennessee in their last conference match. Their most recent SEC victory came Sept. 11, when they took down Mississippi State University.

Vanderbilt already faced No. 12 University of Florida and No. 16 Texas A&M University, losing both games against two of the top-ranked teams in the SEC, but each match went down to the final whistle. On Sept. 25, the Commodores took an early 2-1 lead against the Gators before conceding two second-half goals in a 3-2 defeat. They also gave the Aggies a run for their money in College Station, Texas, before conceding a 70th-minute game-winning goal.

The Tigers (7-3-2, 1-3 SEC) come into tonight’s match tasked with avoiding their third-straight SEC loss. Last Friday, they went

to double overtime with Auburn University before conceding a crushing golden goal in the 102nd minute. On Sunday, LSU traveled to Oxford, Mississippi, to take on the University of Mississippi and suffered its third conference loss of the season.

One of the team’s goals before the season was to never lose back-to-back games. Senior defender Alex Arlitt said the team was disappointed after Sunday’s loss but remains positive.

“It’s disappointing to fall short of that goal,” Arlitt said.

Men’s, women’s tennis teams to compete in ITA All-American meets

BY HEATHER ALLEN @Hallen_TDR The LSU men’s and women’s tennis teams will compete in separate ITA All-American meets this weekend.

The women’s team will travel to Pacific Palisades, California, and play on Oct. 3-4, Oct. 6-7 and Oct. 8-11.

The Lady Tigers started the preseason with a championship win from junior Abby Owens at the Wildcat Invite. Owens went undefeated at the meet.

Seniors Ella Taylor and Skylar Kuykendall, junior Skylar Holloway and sophomore Ryann Foster also earned wins for the Lady Tigers in singles matchups. In doubles, Taylor and Owens and Foster and Holloway earned wins in the main draw.

The Tigers will part ways with the Lady Tigers in the Midwest as their destination is Tulsa, Oklahoma. They are set to play on Oct. 3-4, Oct. 5-7 and Oct. 8-12.

The men’s team kicked off its season at the Oracle/ITA Masters, where senior Boris Arias and junior Jordan Daigle competed in the doubles tournament. The duo, ranked No. 4 in the nation, earned a victory in the championship consolation bracket.

Last weekend, the Tigers competed in the Cajun Classic, where junior Justin Butsch and sophomore Simon Freund earned a doubles victory against Oklahoma State University’s No. 14 doubles team, Julian Cash and Arjun Kadhe.

Daigle enters this week’s meet

in top form, coming off a firstplace performance at the Cajun Classic.

Freshman Cameron Andry is expected to play for the first time this season. As he prepares for his first match of his collegiate career, Andry said he isn’t letting his nerves get the best of him.

“I’m pretty nervous, but I’ve been playing tournaments all of my life, and it’s just another one,” Andry said. “The other guys have been telling me what to expect — about the crowd getting rowdy.

Tam [Trinh] is a good mentor.”

Despite playing with Freund last weekend, Butsch will team up with senior Tam Trinh for the event.

Butsch said although his history in Tulsa isn’t the best, he will play as hard as he can to qualify in both singles and doubles.

“Over the years, I haven’t done too well at Tulsa because the courts aren’t my favorite,” Butsch said, “but I’m going to go in there and do the best I can, hopefully qualify for the main. Hopefully, Tam and I get into qualifying for doubles. We’re one out right now.”

LSU coach Jeff Brown said the All-American event will be a tough one because it’s a one-anddone type of match with little back draw opportunity. If a player loses their first match, they’re essentially out of the competition, he said.

However, with Arias and Daigle winning the consolation bracket among the top eight teams in the nation and Butsch defeating a top-50 opponent last weekend,

THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

LSU then-sophomore Jordan Daigle relays the ball March 1 during the Tigers’ match against Kentucky at W.T ‘Dub’ Robinson Stadium.

Brown said his team is in a good place to compete.

“We’re just looking to continue the momentum that the team has built over the first two weeks,”

Brown said. “We’ve had good results from both events that we’ve been to so far, and that excitement kind of spills over to the other players on the team, even

the ones that weren’t at the events.

Overall, we’re looking for possibly another person to have a little breakthrough like Simon had, a little bit like Boris had.”

page 8 FOURNETTE, from page 6 (3-0, 2-0 SEC) takes on Eastern Michigan at 6 p.m. Saturday at Tiger Stadium.

Fournette’s ability to break through tackles and initiate contact without fear is drawing comparisons to all-time greats like former Heisman winner and University of Georgia running back Herschel Walker, who said Fournette is better than he was when he played for Georgia.

Sophomore defensive tackle Davon Godchuax has the difficult task of battling against the star running back in practice and said sometimes it is a struggle to bring him down. “[Fournette] is a beast. He is not your average running back,” Godchaux said. “He’s something special, and you’ll see that this year.”

The Eagles (1-3, 0-1 MAC) are arguably the worst suited team to deal with LSU’s potential Heisman candidate. They currently allow nearly 374 rushing yards per game this season and almost seven yards per carry, and that’s without facing a potential Heisman Trophy candidate.

In the team’s lone win, they allowed 430 rushing yards to Wyoming University, and they gave up 556 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns on the ground in their last game, a 58-36 loss to Army.

Fournette’s numbers are on pace to shatter the SEC singleseason rushing yards record, 1891 yards held by Walker, as Fournette is currently on pace for 2,314 rushing yards in the regular season.

The LSU sophomore ranks third in the country with 631 rushing yards and averages

nearly 211 yards per game. He found the endzone eight times already this season and currently sits 44 yards behind University of Indiana’s junior running back Jordan Howard, who currently leads the nation with 675 rushing yards.

LSU sophomore defensive back Jamal Adams credits Fournette’s success to his work ethic, attitude and ability to push aside the Heisman conversation.

“On and off the field, he is definitely humble. He comes in everyday and works hard,” Adams said.

The Heisman will take care of itself. He’s just staying focused and is a great leader for the team.”

What makes his video gameesque numbers more incredible is Fournette has played one less game than the rest of the frontrunners. He does have a chance to overtake Howard this Saturday against Eastern Michigan University.

Fournette’s prowess and Eastern Michigan’s weakness in the run game adds up to what could be an incredibly long day for team from Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Eastern Michigan is a 44.5 point underdog, and if Fournette continues his blazing start, they will be pressed to stay under that line. The game will serve as the first meeting between the two squads.

However, Adams did give advice to those looking to bring down Fournette — it all comes down to preparation.

“You’ve got to have a plan going in” Adams said. “You’ve got to have ‘Eyes to the thighs’ as [Defensive backs] coach [Corey] Raymond teaches us — you’ve got to roll him and make a big play on him.”

GEORGIA, from page 6 we have to go in and focus,” Flory said. “We don’t have an advantage over anybody. We are the underdog in every match, but sometimes it’s fun to play from behind. I think this team does a good job from playing from behind.”

This will be the Tigers’ first appearance in the Ramsey Center since 2013. LSU, which won eight of its last 10 matches against Georgia, defeated the Bulldogs in four sets last season in Baton Rouge.

Friday’s matchup will be the only meeting between the Tigers

Friday, October 2, 2015 and Georgia this season.

Once their match concludes Friday, the Tigers will hit the road again, heading for Auburn, Alabama, to take on Auburn University (9-5, 1-1 SEC) at 5 p.m. on Sunday in Auburn Arena.

Hotel vacancies are sparse in Georgia because of the Bulldogs football team’s matchup with the University of Alabama, so LSU must travel overnight to Auburn.

“This is our toughest trip,” Flory said. “It’s a bit daunting to be on the road that long.”

Auburn lost its most recent match to Texas A&M University in straight sets, 14-25, 17-25,

21-25.

“Like any SEC team, it’s going to be tough competition,” freshman middle blocker Brittany Welsh said. “It’s going to be good for us, and it will help us progress as we keep moving on this season.”

“I think as we’ve watched the results in the SEC after the first week, we understand that there are a ton of winnable matches out there for us,” Flory said in a news release. “We might not have the best record, but the potential for what we can accomplish can be special if we stay the course. The key is by continuing to buy in, work hard and progress.”

LSU volleyball head coach Fran Flory gives a pep talk during the Tigers’ 3-0 victory against South Carolina on Sept. 27. in the PMAC.

VANDERBILT, from page 6 after the game on Friday, but when we came back and collected our thoughts we looked at the big picture of everything, and we realized it’s not the end of the world. The real test is going to be how we respond to it on Friday and if we can get those three points.”

Sophomore striker Jorian Baucom left Sunday’s match in the 69th minute after she reaggravated an ankle injury that gave her trouble in the team’s nonconference match against Marquette University.

If Baucom isn’t healthy enough to play tonight, the Tigers might look to junior forward Summer Clarke to provide extra offensive firepower. Baucom leads the team with 11 goals, but Clarke has netted seven goals of her own while dishing out four assists this season.

Vanderbilt is led by junior forward Simone Charley and sophomore midfielder Lydia Simmons, both of whom have combined for seven of the team’s 15 goals this season.

LSU coach Brian Lee said the team must take advantage of the remainder of its home games this season, starting tonight.

“We just have to be realistic about it and protect our home turf on Friday night,” Lee said.

In most recent mass shootings, we are all to blame THE CERULEAN CONCILIATOR JUSTIN DICHARIA Chief Columnist We killed at least 10 students in Roseburg, Oregon.

Our inaction and incompetence bought the gun and loaded the bullets that ripped flesh and bone in the nightmarish catastrophe Thursday morning.

The deaths won’t stop here, either. Prepare the body bags, caskets and funeral songs because the killing won’t stop. We will sit by and watch from our school desks, office chairs and couches at home and say, “What a terrible world we live in.”

And then one day, it won’t be a stranger’s death the news is reporting on. One day, it will be your son or daughter, your sister or brother, your mother or father. Someone with evil intentions or a mental illness twisting their perception of the world will walk into your loved

MICHAEL SULLIVAN / The Associated Press

Students, staff and faculty are evacuated from Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, after a deadly shooting Thursday. one’s school and kill them.

And it will be our fault.

Schools are meant to be safe havens for our country’s future, yet they’ve been made

the burial grounds for innocent men and women. And we sit and watch with dropped jaws.

We let our mental health institutions crumble in front of

our eyes, funding dried up and attention waned. We ignored the people who needed us most, and the consequences lay buried within wooden caskets in the ground.

Instead of action, we allowed politicians to spin gun reform into a campaign slogan — the liberals are coming for your guns, protect the Second Amendment, Jade Helm was the prelude to a federal takeover.

No one wants your damn guns. We want our brothers and sisters back. I want the 13 lives from Columbine back. I want the 32 students and faculty from Virginia Tech back. I want the 20 children and 6 adults from Sandy Hook back. I want the two women from Lafayette back. I want the killing to end.

We can’t eradicate evil in the hearts of mankind. We can’t fix the mental health system in a day, but we can’t ignore how much we need it, with $1.8 billion in cumulative cuts to

mental health budgets from 2009-2011.

What we can do is make it harder to obtain guns.

Require psychiatric evaluations for the purchases of firearms. The economic burden of the evaluation does not outweigh the cost of a human life.

I don’t believe in seizing guns from those who take care when they use them. What I do believe is making certain those with guns won’t walk into my 9-year-old brother’s elementary school and threaten his life.

Until we quit the petty politics and work toward realistic and meaningful reforms, the mass shootings are on us. They’re our fault. We are responsible. Our inaction is murder.

Boil water advisories highlight failing La. infrastructure BURNT TO A CRISP GARRETT HINES Columnist “A boil advisory has been issued for the following communities…”

This decree is made on countless news broadcasts across Louisiana regularly, and we need to have a discussion about the infrastructural deficiencies surrounding these warnings.

The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals is responsible for administering these advisories, and its reports are usually murky on the concrete reasons behind why the boil advisory has been put into place.

For example, in a recent boil advisory concerning the St. Joseph Water System in Tensas Parish, the standard warning of “problems with the water supply system” was the only explanation given for the advisory. The report quickly turns to instructing readers how to make water safe for consumption.

This report was not an anomaly.

Leaving customers uninformed about the safety of their water systems seems to be the rule

rather than the exception.

This method of sheltering potential dangers is understandable to a degree because mass hysteria about the water supply is not in the best interests of the state. However, if there are underlying infrastructure issues leading to almost daily boil advisories in some parishes, it is Louisiana’s duty to inform and alleviate those issues.

You can look to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s recent announcement concerning the upgrades to New Orleans’ water system as a template for proactive governmental action.

In the next six to nine months, New Orleans will complete upgrades costing “about $3 million” and lead to major reductions in incidences of boil advisories in the city. According to WWL/ Channel 4, this is just the first part of a “$3.3 billion capital improvement program comprised of over 600 projects across New Orleans.”

New Orleans is a special case, as some of these repairs stem from damage caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Isaac.

Therefore, portions of this

funding come from recovery funds and other federal investments.

The rest of the state does not find itself with the same federal funding to use in upgrading its water systems.

What do exist are Louisiana’s federally elected officials who can commit themselves to passing President Obama’s National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank. As described in an American Progress’ report on the bill, “A federal lending authority could allow for drinking and clean water infrastructure investments to be coordinated with the expansion of electrical capacity required to support them.”

This would address a major issue, as power surges to compensate for the population these systems were never expected to handle cripple these systems and lead to boil advisories.

To his credit, Republican Sen. David Vitter worked with the Obama administration to cajole his Republican House counterparts to see past their ignorant views on government spending so they can better advocate for the communities they claim to represent.

HOME, from page 1 dining hall has hosted the event, which launched in April.

He said it is important to students and their well-being to get a “taste of home” on occasion, which is why LSU Dining and Chartwells took on the event.

Chacon said Jackson cooks meals that originate in the United States. Most of the dishes featured at “Taste of Home” — which Chacon said is part of the university’s diversity initiative — are recipes native to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Michigan, Massachusetts and some west coast states.

“Students have been real excited today because they’re seeing things that aren’t typically on the regular menu,” Chacon said.

“We hope to do events like this more often because we have so many different cultures to represent, and we need to focus on that.”

Chacon said “Taste of Home” is not the only event of its kind that LSU Dining will host this semester. Other promotions like Dessert Day, American Heartland and a Halloween party are in the works.

Although mechanical engineering freshman Disha Shah eats at The 5 every day, she said she learned about “Taste of Home” via Snapchat because the menu was posted on the LSU campus story. Shah, who moved to Louisiana from India in 2012, said she was excited to see LSU making an effort to accommodate out-of-state students like herself.

Shah and her brother Rahul — a mechanical engineering junior who did not know about the event — ate Spanish rice and black beans because they were among the day’s vegetarian options, which Shah said are sometimes difficult to come across at The 5.

“Event food is typically much better,” Rahul said.

Bennett is being held on a $10,000 bond.

LSU Libraries and LSUPD are encouraging students to stay vigilant even though the suspect has been caught.

“While we saw an arrest in this incident and we had a good outcome,” Lalonde said, “we don’t want people to become complacent and think that these type of things can’t still happen in the future.”

LSU Libraries noted 30 incidents of unattended personal belongings in the library on Wednesday, according to their Facebook page.

“We do see them from time to time, and we urge everyone on LSU’s campus to always be very vigilant with the security of their personal property,” Lalonde said. “As well as not hesitate to let us know if they see anything suspicious.”
