CRIME

10 forcible sex offenses reported last year

BY QUINT FORGEY qforgey@lsureveille.com

LeBlanc said his initial inspiration for drag came from the reality TV show “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” a show detailing the search for “America’s next drag superstar.”

He is not a performance drag

Ten forcible sex offenses were reported on campus in 2013, according to LSUPD’s Annual Security and Fire Report.

The number increased from two incidents in 2011 and three incidents in 2012.

The 2014 Annual Security and Fire Report is mandated by the Campus Security Act, also known as the Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to produce an annual report

by Oct. 1 detailing crime and security data for the past three years.

University Women’s Center director Summer Steib was dismayed to see yet another case of the underreporting of sexual assault on college campuses.

Steib said one in four to one in five women will be sexually assaulted by the time they graduate college.

“Ten is obviously a very low number,” Steib said. “It is still really statistically impossible

University student focuses creativity on drag outfits

BY MICHAEL TARVER mtarver@lsureveille.com Trying to find relevant and stylish clothing that will remain distinctive and memorable is challenging and often timeconsuming. Shopping for both men and women’s clothes is even

more difficult.

Drag queens have the strenuous task of not only filling their casual wardrobes but also their drag wardrobes, which means being active in two realms of fashion at the same time.

Seth LeBlanc, English senior, said drag is a huge

part of his creative life and is a form of social art that serves as a personal means of expression.

“When I was younger, I thought that to be gay, you had to be a drag queen,” LeBlanc said. “I didn’t come to appreciate it until much later in life.”

LSU Foundation unveils permanent 30-foot Christmas tree

BY MALORI BEZET mbezet@lsureveille.com Students passing in front of the Student Union may notice a new addition to the landscape—the University’s new permanent Christmas tree.

The University planted the 30-foot Little Gem Magnolia tree on Sept. 25, and held a dedication Oct. 1 at the tree’s location near Free Speech Plaza, according to a University news release.

The University used to import a pre-cut tree to campus and set up in front of the Memorial Tower.

Undecided freshman Darby Schoenfield is new to the University’s holiday

festivities, but she is excited to see how the University prepares for the holidays, she said.

LSU Foundation’s Campus Beautification Fund financed the tree with direct donations and purchases of the organization’s annual LSU ornament, said Sara Crow, LSU Foundation director of communications and donor relations.

Crow said the organization set up the Campus Beautification Fund to provide financial support for beautification projects on campus where state funds were not available. The fund also supports the University’s Spring Greening Day. LSU Foundation began

selling the $20 LSU ornament in 2009 to add to the fund, and ornament buyers over the years led to purchasing the new tree, Crow said.

“The LSU Foundation is excited to be a part of the project because it is a unique opportunity for our donors or people who have purchased the LSU ornament to be a part of a campus beautification project that the entire LSU community will enjoy,” Crow said.

“That one tree represents a lot of people who made contributions to make that happen.”

According to the news release, the University worked to decrease

Journalist who contracted Ebola hospitalized THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OMAHA, Neb. — An American video journalist who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia arrived Monday at a Nebraska hospital, where he will be treated for the deadly disease.

Ashoka Mukpo, 33, will be kept in a specialized containment unit at the Nebraska Medical Center that was built specifically to handle this type of illness.

Mukpo was working in Liberia as a freelance cameraman for NBC News when he became ill last week. He is the fifth American with Ebola to return to the U.S. for treatment during the latest outbreak, which the World Health Organization estimates has killed more than 3,400 people.

Meanwhile, a Liberian man with Ebola who started showing symptoms while visiting the U.S. is in critical condition at a Dallas hospital.

Mukpo was able to walk off the plane under his own power Monday before being loaded onto a stretcher for the ambulance ride to the hospital.

His parents said they tried to talk him out of going to Liberia last month, but he could not be dissuaded.

His father, Dr. Mitchell Levy, said his son wanted to help the people of Liberia because he lived there for two years while working with a nonprofit.

It’s not clear how Mukpo was infected, but Levy said it may have happened when he helped clean a vehicle someone died in.

During his treatment, his parents will have to rely on a video chat system in his hospital room to communicate with him.

Texas, Gov. Rick Perry said he would create a state task force to ensure Texas responds to infectious diseases like the Ebola virus.

The Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response will be overseen by Dr. Brett Giroir, the CEO of Texas A&M Health Science Center.

It will develop rapid-response plans if an outbreak is confirmed in the state.

Perry also called on federal officials to implement screening procedures at all U.S. points of entry. Screeners would take travelers’ temperature and conduct other assessments to determine their overall health.

Doctors at the Nebraska isolation unit — the largest of four in the U.S. — will evaluate Mukpo before determining how to treat him. They said they will apply the lessons learned while treating American aid worker Rick Sacra, who was allowed to return home to Massachusetts after three weeks, on Sept. 25.

Sacra received an experimental drug called TKM-Ebola, as well as two blood transfusions from another American aid worker who recovered from Ebola at an Atlanta hospital.

The transfusions are believed to help a patient fight off the virus because the survivor’s blood carries antibodies for the disease.

But doctors have said they can’t be sure what helped Sacra

Sacra was admitted Saturday to UMass Memorial Medical Center after he came in complaining about a cough and low-grade fever and was put in isolation as a precaution. The hospital said weekend test results came back negative for Ebola, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that Sacra’s symptoms were not caused by the virus.

In Dallas, another man who recently traveled to the U.S. from Liberia was listed in critical condition Sunday.

Thomas Eric Duncan has been hospitalized at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sept. 28.

Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC’s director, said he was aware that Duncan’s health had “taken a turn for the worse,” but he declined to describe Duncan’s condition further.

The virus that causes Ebola is not airborne and can only be spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids — blood, sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva or semen — of an infected person who is showing symptoms.

Duncan arrived in Dallas on Sept. 20 and fell ill a few days later. Officials say 10 people definitely had close contact with Duncan and 38 others may have been around him when he was showing symptoms of the disease.

NATO alliance creates strategy to defend Turkey THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey — The NATO alliance has drawn up a strategy to defend Turkey if it is attacked along its border with Syria, a Turkish official said Monday.

Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz, whose country is a NATO member, said the alliance did that at his government’s request as Islamic State militants, who have captured a large swath of Iraq and Syria, are trying to take the Syrian town of Kobani near the Turkish border.

“If there is an attack, NATO’s joint defense mechanisms will be activated,” Yilmaz told reporters. “From the moment the incidents relating to Syria first started, we asked NATO to prepare for possibilities to make plans. NATO prepared a plan taking various alternatives into account.”

“Therefore, if there is an attack on Turkey, NATO will bring about the provisions of Article 5 of the Washington Convention,” he said.

Article 5 states that an attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all members.

Asked about this in Brussels, a NATO official said, “NATO has all the plans in place to defend all its allies against attack.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to make public statements on the matter.

Kurdish forces are defending Kobani, but two banners of the Islamic State group were raised over a building and a nearby hill on Monday, suggesting that the militants may have broken through the Kurdish perimeter.

Bar and eatery to replace former Louie’s Café building

BY Brittany Clark bclark@lsureveille.com

When neighborhood favorite Louie’s Café moves from its West State Street location to Lake Street this month, a nameless new bar and eatery will replace the iconic café.

Shane Courrege and Luis Macedo partnered to deliver the new bar to the Northgate area.

Courrege is the owner of Duvic’s Bar and Spanish Moon, while Luis Macedo is head chef at Pinetta’s European Restaurant.

Courrege signed the lease with Louie’s owners Jimmy Wetherford and Frank Duvic on Sept. 25.

The architectural features that made Louie’s a diner, a center kitchen and wrap around bar, will be no more. Courrege said he plans to gut the entire inside and start from scratch.

“The dining area will replace the front kitchen,” Courrege said. “The new kitchen will be in the back right corner where the dish washing room is, and

the bar will be to your right upon entering.”

With a small space, Courrege said the bar would have a quiet and intimate atmosphere.

Though there are no target customers, the new bar and eatery hopes to serve everyone in the Northgate and University surrounding areas, including foot traffic of local residents.

“There will be no live entertainment or a cover charge,” Courrege said. “But there will be booths, privacy and more intimate lighting where customers can come for a date, or a group of friends can get a drink and some tasty food.”

The menu will consist of sandwiches built from the traditional grilled cheese sandwich, but with a larger variety of proteins and meats. The eatery will also serve salads and an assortment of entrees.

Tigerland and downtown Baton Rouge are the leading areas for bars near the University.

Courrege said in his experience with the bar business, an area

Courrege said he thinks the bar and eatery will improve the nightlife in the area. He also said local business owners are welcoming the business.

“The Louie’s owners are excited to have us and Barcadia moving in,” Courrege said,

referring to Barcadia’s impending arrival on Highland Road in Serrano Salsa Company’s old location. “It’s not so much about having a piece of the pie but making the pie bigger.”

Political science junior Monturious Howard said a new bar in the Northgate area is a

good idea.

“A lot of people already know about the location because Louie’s is so popular. I think the general curiosity of what will take their place will attract business,” Howard said.

Courrege anticipates the bar and eatery to be open by late January 2015.

SHC hosts Flu Shots on the Geaux Students can get flu shots in Middleton

BY Carrie Grace Henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com For the first time, the Student Health Center’s Flu Shots On the Geaux campaign is offering the vaccine in Middleton Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 7.

The program kicked off its fifth year Monday in the Business Education Complex.

It offers flu shots at different locations on campus from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10 for easy student access, said SHC Associate Director Julie Hupperich.

The shot is free for fulltime students and available for a discounted $10 rate for faculty and part-time students. Non-students can get the vaccine for $20.

“We’ve tried to be strategic about where we offer them because we’ve found that students with no intention of getting the vaccine will see the process is really quick and go ahead,” Hupperich said.

The SHC got the word out through fliers and events, but Hupperich said social media was their most effective avenue. Some University-affiliated Twitter accounts, like Miller Residence Hall, tweeted to remind students.

Biological engineering senior Laura Theriot said she liked knowing where shots would be given each day so that she could plan to drop in between classes.

University sees decline in tobacco usage on campus

BY Kaci Cazenave kcazenave@lsureveille.com Cement-filled cigarette receptacles have put a near concrete stop to on-campus smoking since Aug. 1, when the University implemented its tobacco-free policy.

Because the policy was established under an honor system, SmokingWords adviser and mass communication professor Judith Sylvester said it has worked.

“I’ve spoken to students on campus and, recently, with the Dean of Students, and they all feel students are complying,” Sylvester said. “The only problems we’ve had are some issues with bus personnel, but that was taken care of quickly.”

Sylvester said the goal of the policy this semester was not to see a dramatic decrease in the number of cigarette butts in students’ hands, although she said this appears to be the case.

Rather, the goal was to be more aware of the ill smoking habits on campus.

“I didn’t expect 100 percent compliance this semester — really, all I wanted was for gamedays to be better,” Sylvester said. “And so far, with the exception of the Mississippi State game, they have been.”

Sylvester said since the policy implementation, she has

received numerous signs of gratitude. The primary comment students have made is how great it feels to safely breathe again on campus.

Biochemistry freshman Carter Pesson said student health improvement has been the greatest benefit of this policy change.

“It’s just been nice not having to deal with the threats posed by secondhand smoke,” Pesson said. “And I hope it stays that way.”

The tobacco-free atmosphere has, overall, been successful, Sylvester said. However, the remaining challenge rests in the handful of students who still smoke as they walk across campus.

“The ‘hot spots’ are what we, as a University, have got to tackle now,” Sylvester said.

Sylvester said the students she sees still smoking on campus are ones who use the habit to combat their school-related anxieties.

“The simple solution is just quit,” Sylvester said. “Not enough students consider that as an option, but so many people at the Student Health Center are working to change that.”

Students are not the only ones stuck in their old habits.

Sylvester said some faculty and staff members have yet to comply with the University’s tobacco-free living terms.

“This is all still a process in progress,” Sylvester said. “We’ll get where we want to be in time, but for now — for this semester — we’ve done what we can.”

Biochemistry freshman Florencia Scaglia said the attempt, alone, to promote a tobacco-free environment on campus is ap“The smoking ban doesn’t affect me as pealing to current and prospective students. much because I don’t smoke, but it’s forced “The policy is just a good my friends to rethink their smoking habits.” idea, and it couldn’t have come at a better time,” Scaglia said.

LaTeach partnership gives student teachers hands-on experience

BY ROSE Velazquez rvelazquez@lsureveille.com LaTeach is giving graduate students a new kind of educational experience in their transition from behind the desk to the front of the classroom.

LaTeach is a partnership between the University and West Feliciana High School, which pairs graduate students with mentor teachers so they can gain hands-on teaching experience while completing their master’s or doctorate degrees.

West Feliciana Principal James Carroll said the partnership differs from the normal student teacher program because graduate students spend a full year residency at West Feliciana High School rather than a single semester at multiple different schools.

“Here you are immersed for a full year residency program that takes you top to bottom through what it really is to teach,” Carroll said. “You see everything from planning to actual classroom instruction.”

The partnership is a pilot program funded through Believe and Prepare, a state initiative launched in April 2014 to provide grants to schools to prepare aspiring educators.

Carroll said working alongside a highly experienced mentor

teacher helps prepare new teachers for the realities of classroom instruction.

“The kids can surprise you, but after you’ve been teaching for 22 years, like my mentor has, nothing surprises him anymore,” said natural sciences graduate student Samantha Williams.

Williams is one of the first graduate students to participate in the partnership. She said her interest in teaching began when she got involved in the University’s GeauxTeach program, a secondary teacher preparation program allowing students to earn their teaching certificate alongside their content-specific degree.

“I wouldn’t have the opportunity at all to get my master’s if I wasn’t in LaTeach,” Williams said. “It’s so difficult for most teachers to go back to school just because the demands of teaching are so great, and LaTeach helps lower those demands somewhat so that I can be successful in both teaching and my education.”

For the first half of the semester, Williams said she worked with her mentor as a co-teacher and recently branched off, teaching on her own.

“When a situation arises, at the beginning of the year I watched how he responded, and then as the year kind of has progressed, I started handling those,

and he would oversee me, and then give direction as to how I could make that practice better,” Williams said.

According to a report released by the Alliance for Excellent Education, 40 to 50 percent of new teachers leave after their first five years on the job, especially in rural public schools like West Feliciana High School.

New teachers face many challenges during their first years as educators, Carroll said. The primary challenge is translating subject matter into classroom instruction and management.

“You can study classroom management and discipline all

you want in books, but until you actually get into the classroom, you’re not going to have any sort of practices for anything,” Williams said.

Carroll said the partnership intends to give new teachers the practical experience necessary to overcome this challenge.

Besides the benefit to University students, Carroll said the partnership offers advantages for current teachers and high school students.

LaTeach allows current teachers to achieve advanced degrees and better themselves as educators as the University provides teacher training and professional

development.

The partnership expands the opportunity for dual-enrollment classes with the University because the high school has access to high quality math and science teachers, Carroll said. This prepares students for the rigors of college academics.

Williams said she hopes her dual-enrollment Biology II class gives students a safe place to try new things before they get to college.

“I share a lot of the things with them about studying and preparing that I had to learn the hard way in college,” Williams said.

QB battle now unclear after poor play against Auburn

BY BRIAN PELLERIN bpellerin@lsureveille.com

LSU in trouble after Auburn loss

At his weekly press conference Monday, LSU coach Les Miles said he plans to wait until later in the week to decide whether freshman Brandon Harris or sophomore Anthony Jennings will take the first snap this weekend.

Harris made his first start of the season last week against Auburn, but Jennings, who started the first five games, replaced him late in the third quarter.

Miles said ‘I think both no matter who gets to start for of these quarterbacks, the Tigers (4-2, Harris and 0-2 Southeastern Conference), both Jennings, guys will continare guys that ue to prepare like will learn to the starter. be and want “I think both to be very, of these quarvery quality terbacks, Harris and Jennings, starters.’ are guys that will learn to be and LES MILES, want to be very, LSU coach very quality starters,” Miles said.

Each quarterback had their struggles in their first road experience, leading the offense to a 0-for13 performance on third down attempts.

Miles said second down errors caused the third down failures.

“In the first and tens we were probably, without doing the arithmetic, probably averaging seven or eight yards on first and 10,” Miles said. “Then simple opportunities to convert in short yardage, really went by with a mistake, and that mistake really cost that offense the opportunity to move the football.”

Close the doors to the secret bunker, batten down the hatches and get a nice bottle of whiskey, LSU fans.

It’s gonna be a long football season.

After watching the 41-7 drubbing LSU received from Auburn on Saturday night, it’s clear to me what a lot of LSU fans may not want to admit.

This team just might not be good.

Sure, LSU has plenty of young, highly recruited talent, but right now they are just that — young.

There is one constant a team needs to succeed in the Southeastern Conference: good play in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

LSU came into the season thinking it had the trenches figured out. But as it turns out, the offensive and defensive lines have been utter disasters up to this point.

The middle of the defensive line is a sieve, with teams pouring blockers and runners through the heart of LSU’s defense. Fans, it doesn’t matter if senior linebacker D.J. Welter or 2001 Ray Lewis is lining up behind this defensive tackle rotation. If blockers are consistently

BASEBALL NOTEBOOK

Fraley brings different mindset into sophomore season

BY JACK CHASCIN jchascin@lsureveille.com When sophomore outfielder Jake Fraley began his LSU career last fall, it wasn’t perfect. In fact, it was a visible struggle for the then-freshman from Middletown, Delaware.

Fraley struggled last fall, and LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri took notice, acknowledging that he looked poor during the Tigers’ practices. But when the team regathered in the spring 2014, Mainieri saw a whole new Fraley.

“It was like he went home over Christmas break and the light switch went on,” Mainieri said.

Fraley hasn’t looked back from his early struggles, starting 27 games for the Tigers last season and finishing with a .372

batting average. He’s expected to start the season in an outfield Mainieri said is arguably LSU’s strongest position.

Heading into this season’s fall practices, Fraley said he’s coming in with a new mentality to ensure he doesn’t struggle again this fall.

“Coming in as a freshman, you’re trying to make your name and make your place,” Fraley said. “[This season] I know what to expect with all we do, so there’s no surprise.”

Fraley said his key to being more productive in the offseason is the experience he has under his belt. He played summer ball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Chatham Anglers, finishing his stint with a .265 batting average and seven RBIs. “I go back to the experience

I have,” Fraley said. “Playing in Cape Cod, every pitcher I faced was the top pitcher on their team, so having the experience and having a season at LSU under my belt is huge for me.”

MAINIERI PREVIEWS FALL The LSU baseball team opened fall practice Monday, officially kicking off its road to February when the Tigers host Kansas in a three-game series starting Feb. 13.

Mainieri touched on many of the important positions he hopes will pan out during the fall, particularly in the infield and pitching rotation.

The Tigers’ number one question is how the infield will be han-

DBs look to improve communication with wolfpack mentality

BY Michael Haarala mhaarala@lsureveille.com Throughout the season, communication has been an area in which the LSU football team’s defense has been looking to improve.

But after LSU’s 41-7 loss to No. 2 Auburn on Saturday, more questions came up about defensive communication than were answered.

“If you don’t communicate defensively, things start happening,” said LSU sophomore defensive back Rashard Robinson. “Everyone just has to be on the same page.”

Defensive positioning was one of the stronger areas of LSU’s’ game, but even that couldn’t stop Auburn and senior quarterback Nick Marshall.

On one play, Robinson was lined up against Auburn junior receiver Sammie Coates. Even with fantastic positioning, Robinson failed to contain Coates and allowed a 56yard touchdown pass.

“We were in good position, we had good technique, they just had better catches,” Robinson said.

“There was nothing we could do, we were in position to make the plays.”

Fixing the communication problem that led to 41 points may not be simple, but one LSU coach has an analogy that seems to have struck a chord with

Robinson. “[LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis] says it’s like a pack of wolves, you’ve got to communicate,” Robinson said. “All of the wolves are on the same accord. Everybody has one thing to do, and once everybody does that, everything will come together and they’ll make the kill.”

Wide receivers look to capitalize The quarterback situation for LSU has been volatile throughout the first six games of the season.

Changing between sophomore Anthony Jennings and freshman Brandon Harris, especially during the middle of a game, is sometimes meant to light a fire under a team.

But changing quarterbacks as often as LSU has created some inconsistencies not only in that position but also in the wide receiving corps. To help fix this, some of LSU’s receivers are spending extra time catching from both Jennings and Harris to get used to the differences in their style.

“By staying after practice and getting throws from both Brandon and Anthony, when the game comes, you’re comfortable with the situation and it’s not something that is new,” said sophomore wide receiver Travin Dural. “It’s just getting a feel for those two guys.”

LSU racked up a meager 142 receiving yards against Auburn.

Combined, Harris and Jennings

threw the ball 24 times but had only eight completions. LSU failed to capitalize on third down opportunities, which is where the receivers especially want to capitalize.

“In the receiving squad, we say that third down is money down,” said redshirt freshman John Diarse. “We know where we need to be on the field and what we need to do, and any ball that is in the air has got to be yours, and that is the same way with any quarterback.”

Defensive backs without Thomas With sophomore defensive back Dwayne Thomas out for the season with a torn ACL, LSU’s secondary is trying to find ways to compensate.

One of these ways was running junior cornerback Jalen Collins in Thomas’ spot against Auburn.

“I was subbing in on the outside, we had a rotation,” Collins said. “Wherever they need me, I feel comfortable because I know the defense very well.”

Collins, who is in his third year as a starter, is an experienced veteran who has been consistent in the secondary for the Tigers this season. Although he can fill in at Thomas’ position, Collins says losing Thomas was a huge blow.

“I mean, we definitely missed some of his experience and knowledge of the defense,” Collins said.

“And it is always tough missing a player that has been there.”

Junior linebacker Lamar Louis said throughout all of the uncertainty, the coaching staff has been able to keep the defense motivated and focused on its goal. “[LSU defensive coordinator

John Chavis] has done a good job of keeping us motivated through everything,” Louis said. “And we are still confident we can do what we need to do. We’re close to being where we want to be.”

Men win home tourney, Women struggle in Okla.

BY joe mallette jmallette@lsureveille.com LSU women’s golf team — the No. 13 ranked team by Golfweek — finished 11th in Oklahoma at the Schooner Fall Classic.

The Schooner Fall Classic was hosted by the University of Oklahoma from Saturday to Monday in Norman, Oklahoma, on the Belmar Golf Club’s 6001yard, par-70 golf course.

The Lady Tigers were led by junior Elise Bradley, who fininshed tied for 13th place with a 1-under-par weekend score of 209 (70-70-69) through 54 holes.

All-Southeastern Conference sophomore Caroline Nistrup put up the second-best performance for the Lady Tigers, as she tied for the 24th spot on the leaderboard with her three-round score of 212 (69-75-68).

Last year’s champion at the Schooner Fall Classic and All-SEC senior Madelene Sagstrom failed to defend her title, finishing just behind her teammate Nistrup with a final score of 213 (68-70-75) ending the tournament tied for the 30th position.

Rounding out the field for the Lady Tigers were sophomore Carly Ray Goldstein and freshman Sydney Cavin. Goldstein put together a weekend score of 222 (76-73-73) to finish in a tie for the 70th place. Cavin, playing in

LSU assistant coach Garrett Runion advises senior Ben Taylor on a putt at the David Toms tournament Saturday. her first college event, finished in 90th place with a total of 249 (8479-86).

The Lady Tigers will be in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, from Oct. 10 to Oct. 12 to compete in the Tar Heel Invitational at the UNC Finley Golf Club.

While the women’s team struggled on the road, the men’s team experienced success playing on a familiar course.

The No. 4 LSU men’s golf

team won their second straight event after taking the top spot in the Tigers’ annual David Toms Intercollegiate, held on Saturday and Sunday at the University Club in Baton Rouge.

LSU All-American senior Ben Taylor took medalist honors on the LSU home course. He was the only player in the field of 69 to finish all 54 holes under par.

“It’s unbelievable,” Taylor said in a news release. “I’ve come

so far since I’ve transferred [to LSU].”

Taylor sat on top of the leaderboard at the end of the first day’s first two rounds, and through 36 holes was the lone golfer under par with rounds of 74 (+2) and 69 (-3) on the 7663-yard, par-72 layout.

Taylor was accompanied at the top of the leaderboard by teammate and junior Zach Wright entering the final round.

Taylor put up a final round score of 71 (-1) to fend off the strong play of Emmanuel Kountakis of Mercer University, who put up a final round 66 (-6) to jump up 10 spots in the standings and finish in second place.

Taylor’s final score of 214 (74-69-71) gave the Tiger from England his first NCAA win.

“I’m fortunate to have [Head Coach Chuck Winstead and Assistant Coach Garrett Runion] as coaches and to win the home event as my first [win]. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the result.”

Wright carded a final round 80 (+8) to sink 11 spots on the leaderboard into a tie for 13th place. Wright’s troubles started early on Sunday with three double-bogeys and a bogey on the first nine of his final round.

Wright started the back nine with a birdie on hole No. 10, but failed to card another and fin-

ished his round with bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes to card a weekend score of 226 (73-73-80).

The next finisher for the Tigers was senior Myles Lewis, who played as the team’s fifth golfer, taking the position from freshman Blake Caldwell. Lewis finished tied for 25th place putting together a 54-hole score of 229 (75-80-74).

All-American senior Stewart Jolly, the fifth-ranked college golfer by Golfweek, finished outside of the top 25. Jolly finished tied for 30th after winning his last tournament at the Golfweek Conference Challenge in Burlington, Iowa.

Jolly scored just five birdies during the course of the two day event, and dropped shots for bogey or worse 18 times including a triple-bogey on the par-4 ninth hole for a total score of 231 (81-76-74).

Sophomore Eric Ricard rounded out play for the Tigers with a score of 232 (80-76-76), finishing tied for 33rd place.

The LSU men’s golf team has taken home trophies from two of the three events that they have entered, and two different Tigers have finished as the top golfer of those two events. The Tigers look to continue their strong play at the United States Collegiate Championship in Alpharetta, Georgia, from Oct. 17 to Oct. 19.

page 8 trouble, from page 5 getting to the second level, the linebackers, whoever they may be, can’t do anything about it.

Mississippi State ran the ball up the middle 25 times for 164 yards and a touchdown. On third down with three or less yards to go, LSU is giving up an atrocious 6.9 yards per carry.

Basically, even when the Bayou Bengals know what is coming, they can’t stop it.

With an ineffective defensive line, LSU’s pass defense has struggled against competent passing teams. SEC quarterbacks have thrown for four touchdowns with no interceptions for a 184 quarterback rating and 268 yards per game.

Luckily for LSU, its next game comes against Florida, whose passing offense is further in the dumpster than the Tigers’ offense. Freshman quarterback Treon Harris is now suspended for the LSU game after being accused of sexually assaulting a female after the Gators’ win against Tennessee on Saturday.

And Tiger fans, before you get on your high horse, remember starting safety Jalen Mills has his court hearing next week for allegedly physically assaulting a woman this summer outside an apartment. Mills has started every game this year for the Tigers, despite the case being ongoing.

But even with the defense potentially getting a break against an inept Florida offense, LSU’s offense will have to prove it can consistently move the ball with a quarterback battle that is back to square one after the Auburn debacle.

Les Miles and the LSU coaching staff have bungled the managing of this situation so completely that it now has two young quarterbacks devoid of

preview, from page 5 dled in the spring. The Tigers lost third baseman Christian Ibarra, putting a gap in the infield because LSU doesn’t have a surehanded third baseman on its roster coming into the season.

Mainieri said he hopes to play senior Conner Hale at third and fill in first base with junior Chris Chinea or senior Kade Scivicque depending on which of those two is catching. Hale predominantly played first base last season.

“The four catchers will catch, and when they’re not catching they’ll play first base,” Mainieri said. “I know what I’ve got in Hale at first, so I can always move him over to first base he doesn’t even need to play an inning in fall practice at first base.”

Mainieri said the shifting in the infield among veterans, along with the talent of the Tigers’ incoming freshmen, could lead to a possible platoon system in the infield. But Mainieri isn’t going into practice with a platoon mentality.

“A platoon system would be good if both players for a particular position brought equal ability,” Mainieri said. “But if one

confidence battling for a position with one, Jennings, being the whipping boy of an overzealous fanbase.

Harris came in against Auburn and did exactly what 99 percent of freshmen quarterbacks are bound to do — struggled mightily with a hostile crowd and unfair expectations.

The freshman quarterback was expected to be the savior after beating up Mississippi State’s backup secondary and a cupcake New Mexico State team, but in his only other experience against a somewhat difficult opponent, Wisconsin, Harris experienced struggles in limited action.

Sophomore quarterback Anthony Jennings is hated by the fans and has already been benched once by his coaching staff, making me doubt whether the much-maligned quarterback has any confidence left to lead a team.

Both have now been benched six games into the season. By giving into the fans’ demands and starting Harris against Auburn, Miles set Harris up to fail. Now the coaching staff has to pick up the pieces of the young gunslinger’s shattered confidence and tie Jennings’ name to this sinking ship of the season.

With Florida and Kentucky on the horizon I would hope, the Tigers should be able to get to six wins.

But with a murderers’ row of SEC West opponents still on the docket, LSU could easily go winless in its division for the first time since the SEC split into divisions in 1991.

If that does in fact happen, trust me — you’ll be glad you brought the whiskey.

Offseason Injuries Mainieri announced Monday that senior pitcher Kyle Bouman and sophomore pitcher Russell Reynolds suffered off-the-field injuries that could keep them out for an extended period of time.

Bouman suffered a concussion after being hit in the head in what Mainieri termed a freak accident, which will keep him out of practice for at least a week before rejoining the team.

Reynolds suffered a left elbow injury after falling off the back of a pickup truck, which Mainieri said will keep him out for the duration of fall practice. “[Reynolds] damaged his left elbow pretty severely,” Mainieri said. “We’re not sure if it’s going to need surgery on it yet or not, but he’s got some damage in his left elbow. It’s his non-throwing arm, but still he’s in such pain he can’t do what he can do to be able to pitch, so that’s a really unfortunate thing.”

clock management issues Trailing 31-7 with only seconds remaining in the second quarter, the LSU offense was moving the chains.

Harris scrambled 32 yards for a first down at the Auburn 25-yard line but left only 10 seconds on the clock. On the next play, Harris attempted a pass into the endzone that fell incomplete as time expired and LSU went into the half with nothing to show for that drive.

Miles said he chose not to use his timeout because he hoped to catch the defense off guard.

“With a 10‑second clock we never expected that we would use a 10‑second play,” Miles said. “We decided at that point, keep the timeout. If that ball falls short of the goal line, you have an oppor-

Tuesday, October 7, 2014 tunity to have a one‑second timeout and field goal. And didn’t want to get the defense to line up. [We] wanted to make them have a pressure on them in that position.”

D.J. Welter replaced at MLB Sophomore Kendell Beckwith played a lot of snaps at middle linebacker for the second consecutive week. Miles said that he’s not ready to call Beckwith the starter in place of senior D.J. Welter but said Beckwith does have “natural advantages.”

The Tigers’ defense allowed 41 points, a season-high, but Miles said he liked the effort and hustle from his players and that Auburn just made great plays.

“This defense has given great effort and energy, and they’re really making tackles, so if you want to see some really quality efforts,

it’s there,” Miles said. “I mean that [Auburn wide receiver Sammie Coates] made a tremendous catch over the top of [sophomore cornerback] Rashard Robinson, and I promise you Rashard Robinson had it covered, and in the double pass or the play where they pitched it back to their second guy, [junior safety] [Jalen] Mills was right on it.”

LSU ultimately fell to Auburn 41-7, the worst margin of defeat during Miles’ tenure.

Despite the outcome of the game, Miles said he expects his team to rebound.

“I can tell you that the character in that room and that building and the type of people that are there will certainly respond, and that to me is the reason that I have confidence in how we’ll go forward,” Miles said.

FREAK SHOW ‘American Horror Story’ costume designer previews season’s fashion

BY meg ryan • mryan@lsureveille.com In 1952, a troupe of carnival freaks make their way to Jupiter, Florida.

As the freaks attempt to draw an audience to a dying art, they’re being attacked by an evil that no one, freak or human, is safe from.

This is the premise of “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” which premieres Wednesday as the next installment of the “American Horror Story” series by co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

And with a new installment comes a new series of costumes.

Costume designer Lou Eyrich is the woman behind the clothing of “American Horror Story” veterans Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and all other “Freak Show” actors.

Eyrich couldn’t say much about what viewers would see in the new season, but said it’s all that’s been shown in the trailers along with more twists and turns. She said viewers learn all of the freaks’ backstories and how they ended up at the carnival. “[It] might be my favorite season,”

‘Twin Peaks’ to return in 2016 PARDON MY FRENCH GERALD DUCOTE Entertainment Writer Lovers of the bizarre, rejoice.

It was announced Monday that “Twin Peaks,” the shortlived, surreal ABC series, would be revived for a nine-episode season on Showtime in early 2016. This revelation comes as a shock to many of the show’s viewers, considering the final episode of “Twin Peaks” aired nearly 25 years ago.

More than the feeling of excitement, the announcement brings with it a multitude of emotions — including bewilderment, intrigue and the overwhelming question of “Why?” One of the show’s co-creators, David Lynch, has a reputation for his peculiar filmmaking style. Lynch’s preference for the disturbing and outright odd has made him one of the most fascinating directors in the last 50 years.

The return of “Twin Peaks” means the reappearance of a bevy of unprecedented characters like Leland Palmer, the Log Lady and arguably the most important character, Special Agent Dale Cooper, played by Kyle MacLachlan. These and dozens of other colorful townsfolk make up the community of Twin Peaks, all searching for the an-

Rock band Flyleaf to perform newest album at Varsity Theatre BY joshua jackson jjackson@lsureveille.com After its lead singer Lacey Sturm stepped down in 2012, fans questioned if rock band Flyleaf would be able to remain together. Talk of the band’s demise quickly followed the announcement of her replacement, former Vedera lead singer Kristen May. Many considered Sturm the heart and soul of the band. Sameer Bhattacharya, Flyleaf’s lead guitarist, assures it’s doing just fine and that its newest album “Between the Stars” is proof.

With the new lead singer, the band is already touring and will be coming to the Varsity Theatre on Wednesday. The band plans to show how much it has grown over its 12-year career. Bhat-

tacharya said the experience Flyleaf has gained comes from a perspective change in the band members. The band is recognizing the impact of the decisions they make on the world around them.

“Most of us have children and families now, so we’re re-evaluating and realizing what we view as important,” Bhattacharya said.

The individual members may have their own families, but the band calls itself a family as well. Bhattacharya said that same family atmosphere made the transition from Sturm to May seamless. There was no period where Flyleaf felt it had to make May feel welcome or force a productive environment. The album and the current tour are a part of the band’s natural progression.

When: 8 p.m. Wednesday Price: $17 for general admission.

Where: Varsity Theatre, 3353 Highland Road Phone: 225-383-7018 “The hardest part of the process was naming the album,” Bhattacharya said.

“Between the Stars” stems from the lyrics of the band’s song “Magnetic.” Leaving the meaning of the title open to interpretation, Bhattacharya looks at it as the relationship between individual people.

Each person represents a star and the effect they have on others may be greater than

swer to the series’ ultimate question: Who killed Laura Palmer?

Because it was set in a rural logging town in Washington, “Twin Peaks” always had an air of folksy simplicity, which the announcement undercut because it came in the form of a tweet and teaser video by Lynch.

Since the show’s demise after only two seasons in 1991, Lynch has received moderate acclaim as a film director, making several dreamier feature films: including “Lost Highway,” “Mulholland Drive” and “Inland Empire.” In recent years, MacLachlan, who was essentially the star character of “Twin Peaks,” has enjoyed a stint as the mayor of Portland in the IFC sketch show “Portlandia,” as well as roles in “Desperate Housewives” and “How I Met Your Mother.”

Along with the obvious exuberant reaction from fans of the original run, the show’s return will be an opportunity for fresh eyes and ears to experience the phenomenon by going back and watching the series in preparation for the modern episodes.

Lynch’s penchant for the visceral and otherworldly should make for a significant reaction by millennials as well as members of Generation X who were around during the show’s peak.

“Twin Peaks” helped define the modern meaning of a “cult” following, demonstrating fans’ staunch dedication to a particular facet in culture. In its prime, “Twin Peaks” was one of the toprated series of the ’90s. Since its end, the show has become a hallmark of Lynch’s career and has been referenced continuously by most subsequent forms of media.

The decision to air the new series on Showtime seems shrewd.

The network has maintained a reputation of airing exciting new television. But Showtime also has a reputation for latching onto different shows based on their success. The drugthemed drama “Weeds” ran for eight seasons, a considerably long time, which is often cited as a reason for the decline in quality.

We should also contemplate what the last 25 years have done to the actors as well as the overall plot of “Twin Peaks.”

Co-creator Mark Frost has declared that the revival would act as the complementary chapter of the “Twin Peaks” from 1991.

The progression of time is essential, with the characters’ aging made apparent, and it’s crucial for Lynch and Frost’s storytelling.

Since the revitalized version isn’t scheduled to premiere until 2016, much speculation will be made in the coming year as to what new forms “Twin Peaks” will take in the matured hands of Frost and Lynch.

they assume.

The band’s return to the Varsity Theatre will recall many memories for Bhattacharya and other members.

He remembers the first time Flyleaf came to Baton Rouge when he was “the age of an average college student” and they ate boudin in the upper level of the venue.

Eyrich has worked with Murphy for years on multiple projects including all three previous seasons of “American Horror Story,” as well as “Glee” and “Nip/Tuck.” Eyrich was awarded the Costume Designers Guild Award for Career Achievement in Television in 2012.

Eyrich said the beginning stage of designing is the most engaging. She reads the script and puts together who she thinks the characters are deep down and what their environment is.

there and we knew we had to come back for another great experience,” Bhattacharya said.

Flyleaf emerged around the same time as fellow female lead bands Paramore and Fireflight. To remain relevant and continue making music, the band tries to remain flexible and honest with itself and its material. Avoiding repetitious songs and challenging itself to make a product that reflects Flyleaf’s

approach to life is where Bhattacharya believes the band has found success.

The band finds its biggest perspective in its Christian faith but avoids the label of being a Christian band. Bhattacharya finds the terms “Christian band” and “Christian industry” an oxymoron because he doesn’t believe that faith should be used as a marketing tool.

“If you believe in something so strongly, then it should perme-

ate from your life,” Bhattacharya said. “We shouldn’t need a label for that.”

While a lot of the band’s songs are faith inspired, Bhattacharya promises the show is for people who simply like music.

He said a Flyleaf show energetic and powerful for the band and the audience.

and freak shows for historical information, along with how past famous freak show characters were portrayed. Once research is finished, Eyrich formulates an idea of how each character should look. After that, she goes over the designs with Murphy to decide what stays and what goes.

Eyrich also works with the makeup and hair department when putting together all the characters’ looks.

Eyrich said “Freak Show” was challenging compared to the costuming she did for “American Horror Story: Coven.” For “Coven,” she said she was able to pull most costumes off the rack from mainstream clothing stores such as Urban Outfitters. But

for “Freak Show,” she said much more building was involved.

“This season is completely different as far as designing,” Eyrich said.

She said more planning was involved in dressing the “freaks” in the new season, like a character with no legs and another who is 7 feet tall.

With the dimension challenges, Eyrich put together a combination of pieces that were custom-designed, rented from Los Angeles and vintage. She said some actors will be wearing the same outfit for the entire six months of filming. So, when having to design for a character with needs, like extreme height, Eyrich had to make sure enough

vintage fabric could be found.

Eyrich said she keeps the actors’ needs in mind as well as their characters’ needs.

“I know their special little things,” Eyrich said.

Eyrich said one actor doesn’t like things to go over their head, another can’t wear heels and some get their makeup and hair done before getting dressed. All of these factors go into the costume design plans to make sure the actors are comfortable in their clothing.

Once the curtain is lifted on “Freak Show,” all costumes and plot points will be unveiled.

Third annual Irish Film Festival set to run BY logan keen lkeen@lsureveille.com

Despite the continuing successes of actors like Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson and Michael Fassbender, Irish cinema’s happenings have, for the most part, gone by the wayside to mainstream American audiences.

The 2014 New Orleans Irish Film Festival, taking place Oct. 10 to Oct. 12, wants to change that. Featuring some of the first screenings of these films outside of Ireland, the festival is being sponsored by the Irish Network of New Orleans at the historic Prytania Theatre.

Robert Bell, artistic director for the festival and an instructor in the College of Humanities and Natural Sciences at Loyola University, described the festival as the kick-off for an ongoing celebration of Irish culture and heritage, which will include examples of Irish dancing, music, food and Gaelic football.

“The main thing we’re trying to do is expose audiences to the great filmmaking coming out of Ireland,” Bell said. “[The films featured] are probably a year or two old, but they’ve never been seen in New Orleans.”

“What I do is work with filmmakers and the Irish Film Institute in Dublin to try to make the lineup for the festival a good representation of Irish cinema both classic and contemporary,” Bell said.

The festival will begin with an opening night gala, slated for Oct. 10, a night of food, drink and what Bell referred to as

“the crack,” which in Ireland is another term for good conversation. That night will also feature a special screening of Jim Sheridan’s 1989 film “My Left Foot,” the first film ever to come out of Ireland to win Academy Awards — Best Actor, Daniel Day-Lewis and Best Supporting Actress, Brenda Fricker.

The next day will feature three screenings of recent Irish films — animated family film “Moon Man;” humorous documentary “The Irish Pub;” and cheerful comedy “The Bachelor Weekend.” All films were released within the past two years that have yet to receive much attention, especially in America.

The festival will close on Oct. 12 with a curated collection of animated shorts, entitled “Animated Ireland” and presented by the Irish Film Institute and with a screening of “Good Vibrations,” a film Bell singled out as one he was especially excited for.

“Young people are really going to dig it,” Bell said. “It’s really a bit of a love song to punk rock.”

It chronicles Belfast record store owner Terri Hooley’s true story and the way punk rock was used as an escape from The Troubles, taking place in Northern Ireland during the latter half of the 20th century.

“There’s great film making that doesn’t involve car crashes, and robots, and all that stuff, and that’s sort of what we’re trying to showcase here,” Bell said.

“Oh yes, thrifting is my totally favorite way of renewing the closet for ages. But every good thing has a drawback and so does thrifting. Totally agree with your comment “thrifting involves scouring through racks.” So I’m more into online thrifting. It sure is a bit more expensive, but shopping from the comfort of my sofa is a good compensation. :) Besides, online sites for pre-loved stuff like inselly.com (marketplace for Instagram) or thredup.com (online consigment) also allow you to create your own closet shop and purge the closet to make some cash for the new purchases. Which always helps!”

In response to Deanna Narveson’s article, “LSU professor brings literature to life,” a reader had this to say:

Why would I be surprised about Dr. Barrett? When she was in my Honors Precalculus class in high school, Dr. Barrett did her oral report on Carbon 14 dating wearing a pith helmet and safari jacket taking the class through her imaginary archaeological adventures in her backyard!!

Brava, Christine.

I didn’t apply to work at Highland Coffees last February because I needed a new job, and I didn’t do it because I needed more money. What I desperately needed was a change in my lifestyle.

Before I got hired, I spent the majority of my time in isolation from everyone around me. Maybe some people have an easy time starting college, meeting new friends and finding that niche. I was halfway done with my sophomore year, but I wasn’t even close to feeling like I belonged anywhere.

LSU is huge. Walking to and from class, I’m always caught in a swarm of people. The environment can be intimidating, and it’s easy to become just another face in the crowd.

Graduating high school had me consumed with stress about my future. For someone as introverted as I am, it was incredibly easy to fade into the background of everyone else’s lives as I sorted through my own daily responsibilities.

As I attempted to handle the difficult transition into college, my freshman year left me feeling alone and confused. The challenge of adapting to an unfamiliar environment is one that many individuals, especially college freshmen, must face.

Luckily, that was the same year I discovered Highland Coffees.

I knew immediately that there was something about the place that comforted me even on my worst

days. As I started to go there regularly, I couldn’t help but notice I saw a lot of the same people.

Familiarity. That’s what I began to feel.

I’d be walking through the Quad, only to see someone and think, “Hey, that guy goes to Highland Coffees a lot.” In that moment of brief recognition, I knew what the other person was thinking: “Hey, that girl goes to Highland Coffees a lot.”

Mutual familiarity. Somehow, being familiar with the community at Highland Coffees shrunk my surroundings, making them less intimidating.

Highland Coffees became my safe haven from the daunting environment of a college campus. No matter how awful things seemed, I knew I was only a five-minute walk away from a friendly smile and a cup of excellent coffee.

It’s a place where, even if I’m by myself, I never feel isolated. I fell in love with the environment, and that’s why I decided to fill out an application.

Working at Highland Coffees has drawn me away from my excessive isolation. I was nervous when I first got hired, but the staff was far more welcoming than I could’ve hoped for.

There’s something almost therapeutic about interacting with the community, making drinks and being a part of such a welcoming atmosphere. It has truly made me a happier person.

When the news about Highland Coffees’ closure went public last Monday, the community erupted with protest. A petition with more than 5,000 signatures was created,

calling for the shop to be kept open indefinitely. More than ever, it became clear to me that I’m not the only one who feels a deep-rooted connection to Highland Coffees.

There are customers who have been going to Highland Coffees since it opened 25 years ago. That’s longer than I’ve been alive.

As different shops in the Northgate neighborhood have gone in and out of business, year after year, Highland Coffees has been a stable source of comfort and familiarity to the Baton Rouge community.

For someone who has no personal attachments to the place, the powerful reaction of the community toward its closure must have been a little confusing. You might’ve thought, “What’s the big deal? It’s just a coffee shop. There are plenty of those around LSU.” Highland Coffees is the farthest thing from being “just a coffee shop.”

If it were just about coffee, I wouldn’t be writing this.

It’s about providing a welcoming environment for people as they work through the stresses of their personal lives. It’s about preserving a historically rich location as the details in our lives, and the city of Baton Rouge, change around us.

Maybe some people look at Highland Coffees’ closure as purely a matter of business and real estate — but to me, and the thousands of others who signed the petition, this issue is incredibly personal. It’s about as personal as it can get.

Fall break shouldn’t be perceived as an escape from life BUT HE MEANS WELL GORDON BRILLON Opinion Editor When I put in my two weeks’ notice at my table-waiting job two weeks ago, it was with at least one eye on fall break. I was lucky — ­ not only in that I got someone to cover my shift on what should have been my last day ­— but that a generous friend had offered to let me and several others spend the break at his beach house in Florida.

It might seem a little extreme to quit a job that was good to me all summer for the

sake of a three-day getaway. In my defense, fall break wasn’t the only factor in my decision.

But in the week or so leading up to the break, I found myself falling into a mental trap that’s probably familiar to a lot of students — the impending vacation became an excuse not to exert any effort.

“Everything might be going to shit now, but it’s too late to do anything about that,” I told myself. “But after the break, I’ll turn it around.”

Somehow, in my head, the promise of a pleasant weekend on the beach had transformed itself into some kind of opportunity for redemption. Instead of working on my time man-

agement and using a mini-vacation as a reward for dealing well with my various responsibilities, I told myself the really meaningful experience I was sure to have in Florida was what was truly important.

This is representative of a problem I think a lot of us have as college students. Movies and television feed us two disparate ideas: that college is where you become, or maybe find out, who you will be for the rest of your life, and that college is where you go to have a great time.

So naturally, we think the two are linked and we assume that in the course of ceaseless partying, we’ll attain that self-

knowledge that will ultimately make us happy and well-rounded people.

While that may be true for some people, I’m learning it’s not going to work for me and won’t for many others.

My ability to get drunk and make an ass out of myself has never been a weak point, so it was foolish to think a weekend of bumming around on the beach was going to lead to some serious self-improvement. But it’s an easy idea to buy into, isn’t it?

Think of all the portrayals of young people you’ve ever seen in movies. Rarely is it an honest appraisal of their weaknesses and hard work

that allows them to overcome their own problems. It feels almost natural that we should have some kind of life-changing epiphany after a dramafraught spring break in Cancun or cross-country road trip.

Reality, as usual, is less exciting and more time-consuming than the movies. My problems with juggling everything are going to take more work than sitting on a beach for three days with a Miller High Life in my hand.

Monetary and material gains don’t measure a successful life SAY IT LOUD TAYLOR SIMIEN Columnist When I started my college career, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my future.

I took my parents’ and family members’ advice and majored in accounting.

Throughout three semesters, I grew as an individual and found my niche, but that niche wasn’t accounting. I began to hate all of my business classes and would dread waking up in the morning. The only reason I stuck with it for so long was the thought of being financially stable. I created

a utopia in my mind where I would major in accounting, go on to law school and be rich for the rest of my life.

But what happens when you can’t picture yourself ever enjoying a job in your chosen field of study? What happens when you can’t even picture yourself passing any of your classes the next semester? If you find yourself in this situation like I did, the best bet is to find your passion and change your major.

A lot of students major in fields that they don’t like or care about because their parents influence them or because they’re blinded by dollar signs.

But who said that success has to equal monetary or material gains?

Success shouldn’t be

measured by the amount of money you make or how many expensive, nonsensical items you can waste your money on.

Success should be measured by what you can accomplish, how you achieve your personal dreams and goals and how you positively contribute to society.

What’s living lavishly if you’re miserable? I’d rather make a modest living and impact my community by working a job that I love than drag myself through college, majoring in something I hate, to work a job that makes me unhappy.

There’s so much more to life.

Society’s definition of success deters people from following their heart when it comes to career choices, and it has

a great way of implanting the idea that only certain professions are capable of providing you with a nice future.

But I say middle fingers up to society.

It’s time for people to wake up and rewire their brains. We have to learn how to think for ourselves and not let society think for us. No one knows you better than you know yourself.

Even though it sounds cliché, you can really do anything you set your mind to.

I believe work ethic has a lot more to do with your success than a career choice. If you put in the hours and the hard work, then you’ll see results. You have to organize your thoughts, put your ideas on paper and find the best way to bring them

to life.

Of course, nothing in life is free and when you get into the real world, you realize the importance of money. But don’t get caught up in the moneyhungry lifestyle because the love of money is the root of evil.

We have only have one life, so do what truly makes you happy. Make your own definition of success and follow your own life guidelines. Don’t let people tell you you’re doing something wrong because the only thing that matters is what you think and how you feel.

CHRISTMAS TREE, from page 1

for there to only have been ten rapes on LSU’s campus.”

Despite the shortage of survivors who reported their assaults to the authorities, Steib said she found one encouraging feature in the report’s data.

“I think that the positive is actually that the number of reported sexual assaults went up,” Steib said. “I think the fact that we’ve more than tripled the reporting rate is a positive indicator that people on campus are more aware of resources and that maybe there’s more trust in the law enforcement and University response to reporting.”

The 2014 report was also the first to include statistics for dating violence, domestic violence and stalking.

The data revealed eight reported cases of dating violence on campus in 2013 and 15 reported cases of stalking on campus in the past year. There were no cases of domestic violence reported.

Steib said stalking occurs frequently on campus, while the pool of potential targets of dating violence and domestic violence is smaller because victims have to be in or have been in a relationship.

In addition to statistics on arrests, disciplinary referrals and fires in residential facilities, the report also included data on reported hate crimes.

In the Clery Act’s handbook, a hate crime is defined as “a criminal offense committed against a person or property which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias.” An example includes negative attitudes or opinions toward a group based on sexual orientation.

The data listed five reported cases of hate crimes over the past three years on campus, in non-campus areas, in residential facilities and on public property.

Julianne Martin, president of the LGBT student organization Spectrum, said hate crimes have not become an epidemic on the University’s campus.

“To my knowledge, there isn’t a super excessive amount of hate crimes going on,” Martin said. “I know that there have been some members who have had uncomfortable moments, but they were never hurt physically or anything like that.”

DRAG QUEENS, from page 1 queen, but LeBlanc said his drag outfits are a culmination of months of work, his creative spin and substantial financial investments.

LeBlanc said all of the time he would usually spend on art projects has gone into drag, and it is just a new way to convey his creativity into something he loves.

One of drag fashion’s most challenging aspects is the often overwhelming cost, LeBlanc said.

Unlike drag artists who perform every week, LeBlanc only does about four to five drag shows a year.

LeBlanc said he decided his drag queen name would be Cherry Nobyl after learning of his Russian decent. He said he always had been obsessed with Russia, particularly now with the country’s gay-rights developments.

However, after years of having the name, LeBlanc said he no longer likes the constraints that adopting a persona can have in choosing different drag outfits.

Rather, he said he likes to be free to bring to life any idea that he likes.

While it is difficult to find clothes that he can wear or alter for drag, hair and makeup are the two most important aesthetics in putting together a drag outfit. The cost of wigs can range from $70

“I’ve probably spent around three or four grand in the last two years on drag,” LeBlanc said.

Building a drag wardrobe is a prolonged process of collecting different items, though an idea for an outfit can revolve around one aesthetic such as a wig, he said.

“If I see something that I like or think of something I really want to do, I’m so obsessed with it [that] I’m going to spend my money on it,” LeBlanc said.

There is also a sense of brand loyalty and consistency when shopping for a specific outfit, he said. Brands LeBlanc gravitates toward are RockStar Wigs, Beauty Supply Warehouse and MAC Cosmetics.

While wigs usually don’t last more than one or two wears, LeBlanc said he tries to repurpose clothes so that he can use them multiple times.

For example, one of his first outfits was called “Miss Frizzle,” a play on the cartoon character from “The Magic School Bus.” LeBlanc said he chose a wig that could be used multiple times but used a cheaper material, patterned with childish dinosaurs, to create the dress.

While building a character or persona is important to some drag queens, others, like himself, enjoy a more random approach to creating their outfits, he said.

The clothing is usually the least important investment in creating a drag outfit because it’s so difficult to find a reasonable fit, he said. Therefore, the hair and makeup are the main focuses in building an outfit.

LeBlanc is part of BRAWL, Baton Rouge Arm Wrestling Ladies, a non-profit organization with a mission to “empower women and strengthen local communities through theater, arm wrestling and philanthropy.” He said his involvement in BRAWL exemplifies his personal expression of using drag for philanthropic purposes.

Ray Siebenkittel, anthropology graduate student, said he took a more academic approach to drag.

Construction management freshman Clayton Guillory said he has no strong sentiments toward the new tree, but thinks it is a good move forward.

Siebenkittel practices and occasionally performs, but he said he wanted to take an almost outside view of drag and how it’s representative of a group of people.

He said in his current research, he looks at how drag queens go through gender and embody different characteristics.

“I’m essentially a drag researcher right now,” Siebenkittel said.

One of the biggest aspects of drag fashion Siebenkittel has noticed is the androgynous aspect that drag brings to culture. The idea of leaving masculine aspects apparent in drag outfits is exceedingly prominent in many drag shows, he said.
