Resurgent offensive line hopes to stop Rebels in their tracks BY jack chascin jchascin@lsureveille.com

Volume 119 · No. 41 campus life

Students satisfied with new library hours

A hard-nosed ground game against an immovable, hard-hitting defense is what Southeastern Conference football is all about.

This figures to be the case when the No. 24 LSU football team squares off against No. 3 Ole Miss in their 103rd meeting on Saturday.

“Ole Miss is a great defense, great defensive line, great linebackers and really physical [defensive] backs,” said senior center Elliott Porter. “I mean, everybody is pretty good, especially in the SEC, so we’re definitely going to have our hard hats on this week at practice preparing for them and getting ready for them and doing what we do best — trying to get a win.”

The Tigers (6-2, 2-2 SEC) are coming off a string of dominant rushing performances in the SEC, gaining 498 yards on the ground in their last two contests, including 303 yards on the ground against Kentucky last Saturday.

The turnaround in the Tigers’ run game in recent weeks is because of their veteran offensive line resurgence.

“I feel like we carried a burden, and we had to,” Porter said. “The game starts up front. You can’t look through that any other way. Everything starts up front, and it ends up front. The team goes as we go. We keep on working and keep on improving like we are, I think we’re going to be okay in the end of it.”

Senior running back Terrence Magee said the offensive line has made running the ball easier the past few weeks, complementing the line’s hard work. But come Saturday night, the unit will face the toughest test of the season.

The Rebels (7-0, 4-0 SEC) come into Baton

For the University’s night owls, the late-night library hours have been a hoot — especially during midterms week.

More students are taking advantage of the library’s services now that its operating hours are extended at a time other than finals week.

Sigrid Kelsey, director of library communications and publications, said the library is using a card swipe process to allow people into the library after midnight. Between Oct. 6 and 14, which included midterms week, nearly 1,500 swipes were recorded.

“We don’t have statistics on student dwell time yet, or the time they entered, but yes, the 24/5 policy is largely being taken advantage of at this time,” Kelsey said.

Kelsey said of the 1,500 swipes, 689 were students who entered the library once and 576 were dedicated to students coming three or

Leaders With Vision hosts 6th Congressional District forum

BY Carrie Grace Henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com A panel of journalists questioned the 6th Congressional District candidates Thursday in front of community members at the Leaders With Vision Forum and Luncheon at Drusilla Ballroom.

Topics included the candidates’ stances on student debt, defense against the Islamic State group, transparency in electoral funding and which candidate they would vote for if they weren’t in the race themselves.

Former governor Edwin Edwards, the only Democrat in the race, used quick-witted

one-liners as he responded to questions from the panel as well as his opponents.

He said using marijuana is “one of the few sins I’ve never been accused of,” adding that he was in favor of anything that would help the sick feel better.

His libertarian opponent Rufus Craig agreed with the majority of candidates supporting medicinal marijuana, adding his party has held that view for more than 40 years.

Craig did not agree with the rest of the candidates’ views on the Islamic State’s threat, saying the U.S. cannot “bomb our way out of a problem we bombed our way into.”

Republicans Garret Graves and Charles “Trey” Thomas said they were wary of taking any options off the table in relation to public defense, while Edwards and Republicans Dan Claitor, Paul Dietzel II and Craig McCulloch said they were in favor of any measure to take out the Islamic State, including boots on the ground.

The more at-home issue of a tax increase caused more division among the candidates.

Edwards said he would raise taxes if necessary. Claitor said he is in favor of fewer, fairer and flatter taxes, while Graves said the

Massive cheating scandal at UNC involved athletes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Bogus classes and automatic A’s and B’s are at the heart of a cheating scandal at the University of North Carolina that lasted nearly two decades, encompassing about 3,100 students — nearly half of them athletes.

At least nine university employees were fired or under disciplinary review, and the question now becomes what, if anything, the NCAA will do next. Penalties could range from fewer scholarships to vacated wins.

Most of the athletes were football players or members of the school’s cherished basketball program, which won three of its five national titles during the scandal (1993, 2005, 2009).

Many at the university hoped the eight-month investigation by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein would bring some closure. Instead, it found more academic fraud than previous investigations by the NCAA and the school, exposing a “shadow curriculum” run within the former African and AfroAmerican Studies (AFAM) department from 1993 to 2011.

The UNC case stands out among academic scandals at

Harvard, Duke and the Naval Academy, said Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education who studies cheating.

“I think the existence of fake classes and automatic grades — you might say an athlete track, where essentially you might as well not have the university at all — I think that’s pretty extreme. I hope it’s pretty extreme,” he said.

North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham wouldn’t speculate on any possible sanctions.

“We’ll work with the NCAA and work through the report with them as part of our ongoing investigation,” Cunningham said. “That’s going to take some time.”

The scandal reached back to the final years of legendary men’s basketball coach Dean Smith’s tenure, as well as John Swofford’s stint as athletic director before becoming Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner.

The NCAA reopened its probe over the summer. Cunningham said the school had no immediate plans to impose its own penalties as it did during an NCAA investigation into the football program that began in 2010.

The school and the NCAA said

The focus was courses that required only a research paper that was often scanned quickly by a secretary, who gave out high grades regardless of the quality of

work. The report also outlined how counselors for athletes steered struggling students to the classes, with two counselors even suggesting grades. Several knew the courses were easy and didn’t have an instructor.

Chancellor Carol Folt wouldn’t identify the terminated employees or those facing disciplinary review.

New survey details vast scope of teen dating abuse THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

#35

Monday, October 20, 2014

NEW YORK — From violence to verbal taunts, abusive dating behavior is pervasive among America’s adolescents, according to a new, federally funded survey. It says a majority of boys and girls who date describe themselves as both victims and perpetrators.

Sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, the National Survey on Teen Relationships and Intimate Violence was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, a prominent research center which provided preliminary results to The Associated Press. Input came from a nationwide sample of 667 youths aged 12-18 who’d been dating within the past year and who completed a self-administered online questionnaire.

Nearly 20 percent of both boys and girls reported themselves as victims of physical and sexual abuse in dating relationships — but the researchers reported what they called a startling finding when they asked about psychological abuse, broadly defined as actions ranging from name-calling to excessive tracking of a victim. More than 60 percent of each gender reported being victims and perpetrators of such behavior.

The survey found no substantive differences in measures by ethnicity, family income or geographic location.

Elizabeth Mumford, one of the two lead researchers for the survey, acknowledged that some of the behaviors defined as psychological abuse — such as insults and accusations of flirting — are commonplace but said they shouldn’t be viewed as harmless.

“None of these things are healthy interactions,” she said.

“It’s almost more of a concern that our gut reaction is to accept this as natural.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in its campaigns against teen dating violence, also stresses the potential seriousness of psychological abuse.

“Teens often think some behaviors, like teasing and name calling, are a ‘normal’ part of a relationship,” says a CDC fact sheet. “However, these behaviors can become abusive and develop into more serious forms of violence.”

Bruce Taylor, the other lead researcher for the NORC survey, said the overall abuse figures were higher than previous national studies of dating abuse, revealing “the startlingly widespread nature of this problem.”

University princesses make children’s dreams come true

BY Brittany Clark bclark@lsureveille.com

University student Reagan May is a full-time student by weekday, but doubles as a princess on weekends.

May, a mass communication junior, started the company Rent A Princess over the summer, and business is booming.

May said the idea for the company blossomed after she posed for a photo shoot wearing a princess dress. From there, May posed for her niece’s party and Rent A Princess was born.

The company features princesses such as the snow queen, winter princess, long hair tower princess, brave princess and beautiful sleeping princess. According to the company’s website, the glass slipper princess is soon to come.

“The goal of the company is to make the children feel wonderful, special and excited in that moment,” May said. “Telling them they are princesses is the most magical thing.”

Elementary education sophomore Corinna Cherrier doubles as a Miller Hall resident assistant and princess on the weekends.

Cherrier joined the princess

crew after filling in for a former employee an hour before a party.

“I walked through the back door to a party at little Addison’s house and she ran up to me and yelled, ‘You look super duper beautiful!’” Cherrier said. “It made me melt being that I was the ice queen.”

Customers looking to rent the princess clan can do so by ordering packages. Packages offered are the perfect princess package, beautiful princess package and winter princess package, which range from $125 to $200.

Children receive more than a visit from a princess. For an extra fee, princesses perform tea parties, princess tutorials and royal coronations.

May said the most important rule for the princesses is to never break their characters. She said princesses should be well versed like they are in movies and able to improvise and handle any question thrown at them.

“We even talk to other princesses in character when we aren’t at a party,” May said. “It keeps the magic alive.”

May said the costumes for the company can range from $500 to $2,000. The princess costumes are handmade by May and her

grandmother, while her mother produces the wigs. May said the ones that are not handmade are purchased online.

“Costume management is the hardest part,” Cherrier said. “We can’t eat in the costumes and we are extremely careful with them.”

May said the costumes’ quality is the most important thing to her, and she expects her employees to care for the costumes with respect.

“Moms will call me while I’m in class,” May said. “Every free moment I have I am returning customer calls, booking parties and texting employees.”

Rent A Princess also brings fairy tale endings to those in need through volunteer work.

Cherrier said the princesses paid a visit to Baton Rouge General Hospital and will participate in an upcoming 5K as the snow sisters.

Using her major’s curriculum, May made her company’s logo along with the logos of other princess businesses. The company received a franchise offer in Atlanta, Georgia, but May said the biggest expansion the company will have is to bring smiles to even more children.

Despite female majority, women’s issues not highlighted in 6th District race EVENT CALENDAR BY savanah dickinson sdickinson@lsureveille.com Women make up 54 percent of the registered voting population in Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District, according to the Louisiana secretary of state’s election statistics, yet some feel this year’s candidates are ignoring women’s issues.

“When you say women’s issues, you start talking about reproductive health and that big, scary word comes up,” said communication studies junior Blair Brown, who is the founding president of Equality for HER. “And people don’t want to discuss women’s health because they’re afraid it’s going to turn into a discussion about abortion.”

Brown said she is disappointed in the 6th District candidates and other politicians who have not taken the initiative to speak on women’s issues. She said she expected to see more from these candidates because of larger nationwide initiatives for women such as President Barack Obama’s Stand with Women campaign.

In the 2010 midterm election, more women than men turned out to vote in Louisiana, according to the secretary of state’s data. The turnout of female voters was 0.5 percent

higher than the number of male Louisiana, who holds the power voters that participated in the in the state parties and public election. opinion.

The library staff, she said, is working on ways to improve recording accuracy for the last half of the semester.

The library’s card swiping method is sufficient for now, but as more people opt for late-night usage, better technologies will be needed for measuring.

“It is a little too early to compare regular week usage with midterms, especially since we haven’t had the card swiper the entire time we’ve had late hours,” she said.

Kelsey said she’s seen more students in the library after midnight than usual.

Kelsey hasn’t received any direct feedback from University students regarding the late night policy’s success, but students’ social media posts suggest they are satisfied with the library’s 24/5 opening — mostly during high-concentrated study periods like midterms.

“The students who have posted about it have had nothing but positive things to say,” Kelsey said.

The Daily Reveille wishes it would have been implemented prior to her senior year.

“I’m an early bird, so it is nice having the option to come in early to study when my classes demand that of me,” Hawkins said.

Although Hawkins has not yet taken advantage of the policy’s benefits, she said she plans to. Hawkins said the cause for her delay is a lack of computers to use now that the library’s second-floor lab, which was removed in April, is gone.

“The only thing that has turned me away from using it frequently is the lack of available computers,” she said. “In

Friday, October 24, 2014 midterms week, I heard most of those were always taken.”

Finance freshman John Fourcade said he frequented Middleton most during midterms week.

“A quiet, distraction-free atmosphere is ideal for me while studying, and that’s not something you can typically find in Middleton during the daytime,” Fourcade said. “And that’s why I go so late — for last-minute cramming and because the environment forces me to study.”

On Monday, the library’s CC’s Coffee House also rolled out extended hours. As long as the library’s late night policy is in place, CC’s will stay open until

2 a.m.

Kelsey said the extended hours might change the opinion of students who aren’t convinced to use to library after hours.

All menu options are available for purchase, according to LSU Dining, she said.

However, Hawkins said CC’s won’t affect her decision to come to the library.

“The only thing I drink there are smoothies, which are too cold to drink in the winter,” she said. “But I am sure it is something most other students will appreciate. It will give them one more reason to stay in the library.”

Community gathers for Queer Confessions

BY Jazmine Foxworth jfoxworth@lsureveille.com Performers opened up about catcalling, dealing with sexuality and “breaking free” from the restraints of scripture at Queer Confessions Poetry Night on Thursday. This year, Spectrum hosted the event for the second time with the help of student organizations Equality for HER, the Student Equality Project and Qroma.

Performers words bounced off Highland Coffees’ walls, hitting audience members who responded with silence, snaps and claps of support. Speakers read stories of heartache, unrequited love and more from phones, notebooks and printed sheets of paper. They performed their own poems and writings and also works from other popular writers and performers.

While sharing intimate writings with a crowd of strangers, several performers looked down, up and away. For poet Chris Polite, being around a crowd of people from the LGBT community with shared experiences made performing easier.

“It definitely makes you feel safe and comfortable, kind of like you’re with family even though you don’t know 90 percent of the people there,” Polite said.

Equality for HER president Blair Brown helped organize last year’s event and felt it was important to assist again and offer often ostracized groups a place to share their experiences.

“The people who attended appreciated having a space where we don’t have to hide in the shadows, can express ourselves and be vulnerable,” Brown said.

Spectrum, Equality for HER, the Student Equality Project and Qroma are all organizations aimed at improving LGBT rights and providing support for LGBT students. Equality for HER brings awareness to women’s rights, Student Equality Project’s advocates for equality in Baton Rouge and Qroma is an organization that supports

Performers recite poetry Thursday at the second annual Queer Confessions Poetry Night at Highland Coffees. queer students of color at the University.

Brown said some people think these organizations can’t all exist at the same time because of their similarities, but this event shows these organizations can all collaborate together.

Spectrum events coordinator JaRon Augustus said that by inviting other groups to host, they will get a larger variety in performers and subjects.

“By joining up with those other groups, there’s so many other people that they bring and different aspects, so it won’t just be queers talking,” Augustus said.

Performer Valerie Collins, who rapped one of her original songs, said the event brought poets and writers from different backgrounds together and offered variety for Baton Rouge community members.

“Around here, you get a lot of partying and EDM-oriented events and not many intimate social things,” Collins said.

“It’s nice to have a young community that’s not centered

around partying.”

Polite said this event provided something different for people specifically in the LGBT community and rejected the stigma surrounding LGBT events.

“When you think of the LGBTQA community, you think of gay bars and clubs. To think that there will be other events put on in the future where we can get together is really promising for the Baton Rouge community,” Polite said.

Having more places in Baton Rouge for the LGBT community to share their thoughts and experiences is important to the organizers and performers. Collins said she’s hoping to attend similar events that allow those within Baton Rouge’s LGBT community a safe space to represent themselves.

“In Baton Rouge or Tigertown you don’t see a lot of representation for our community and what makes us unique,” Collins said. “It’s a reminder that I’m here, I’m a human being, I have these feelings and I’m worth something, and I can do it my way.”

BASEBALL NOTEBOOK

Bain likely out for fall with shoulder soreness

BY JACK CHASCIN jchascin@lsureveille.com Freshman pitcher and infielder Austin Bain is likely to be out for the fall with shoulder soreness, said LSU coach Paul Mainieri.

Mainieri said the MRI showed no signs of structural damage, but it’s an issue the Geismar, Louisiana, native will likely have to aid for the rest of fall practice.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 200 -pound prospect can dual as both a pitcher and an infielder for the Tigers. The 2014 All-District MVP out of Dutchtown High School finished his senior season with a .374 batting average and a 2.85 ERA. Bain, as part of the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, was named a 2014 First Team

All-District utility player and the 2014 All-Baton Rouge postseason pitcher of the year.

The news comes a week after Mainieri announced freshman pitcher Jake Latz will sit out the remainder of the fall with an elbow injury.

INFIELD COMPETITION HEATING UP After losing former third baseman Christian Ibarra due to graduation, the Tigers are in search of his predecessor. Mainieri said sophomore Danny Zardon has impressed him the most at the position thus far.

“I think Danny Zardon has played the best [at third] at the early stages of the fall,” Mainieri said. “He hit four home

Alexander leads defense statistically

BY Tyler Nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com People notice when LSU junior linebacker Kwon Alexander takes the field.

It’s hard to miss the 6-foot-2inch, 227-pound ballhawk when he’s making plays on virtually every part of the field.

Despite sitting out a game this season, Alexander leads the Tigers in both unassisted tackles with 23 and assisted tackles with 26. Alexander has led LSU in total tackles in four of the seven games he’s played in this season, and is currently the No. 11 tackler in the Southeastern Conference with 7.0 tackles per game. “[Alexander’s] been playing really fast and really physical,� said LSU junior linebacker Deion Jones. “He’s been getting after it.�

He also has forced a teamhigh two fumbles and assisted in sophomore safety Rickey Jefferson’s interception that led to the game-winning field goal against Florida.

Alexander had one of his best performances against Florida, an emotional outing in which he felt he had something to prove to fans in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. “It felt great,� Alexander said after his 10-tackle performance in The Swamp. “They booed me my freshman year when I broke my ankle, so I had a lot of emotions coming into the game.�

Emotion is nothing uncommon for Alexander. His fellow linebackers said he often uses it as a motivational tool.

Alexander doesn’t just lead the Tigers on the stat sheet — he leads them in every practice and every game with his contagious play. “He makes you want to do well,� said sophomore linebacker

Kendell Beckwith. “He makes you want to be as competitive as possible and want to go out and hit somebody or do what you have to do and do your job correctly.

That’s all the things he’s about. He just tries to be the best to do it. He plays with unbelievable effort.�

Alexander tends to lead more with his actions than with his words, but Beckwith made it clear he has the ability and leadership qualities to make himself heard when necessary. “He gets on me,� Beckwith said. “If he sees me slacking or if he sees me not doing something, he gets on me pretty hard.�

Jones credited Alexander with boosting the play of LSU’s entire linebacker unit, saying the bar he sets physically and the standards he creates in practice act as a primary motivator for the Tigers.

Alexander and Jones are the two most experienced leaders at the position as juniors, and they’ve taken it upon themselves to make sure they both play and act like it. “Me and him, we’re always on each other,� Jones said. “During practice we give each other tips. We always look to improve each other’s technique and how we can make things easier for ourselves.�

There is no question people are drawn to Alexander’s play on the field. Jefferson said his mark on this team will remain even when he’s gone. “He’s one of those guys that took me under his wing,� Jefferson said. “To see him take that step and see him have the tremendous season that he’s having, it’s an awesome feeling. I want to be in the position he’s in one day.�

New leaders stepping up for Lady Tigers

BY Morgan prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com Last year, seniors Jeanne Kenney, Shanece McKinney and Theresa Plaisance led the LSU women’s basketball team on both ends of the floor.

Coming into this season, the Lady Tigers are looking for ways to replace the production of these players by adapting to a style of play that fits the current roster and their leadership. “We have to definitely rely on our speed and defense,� said sophomore guard Raigyne Moncrief. “I think we are a lot faster this year. We did lose Shanece, one of our leading blockers; Theresa Plaisance, one of our leading scorers; and Jeanne, our leader in scoring threes.�

The Lady Tigers will look entirely different defensively this season after losing the size of Plaisance and McKinney in the post. Plaisance and McKinney were the tallest players on the roster, standing at 6-feet5-inches and 6-feet-4-inches, respectively.

Last season, the Lady Tigers relied on Plaisance and McKinney’s size in the post to close down drives in the paint.

The pair accounted for more than 70 percent of LSU’s blocks in 2013. “If [an opponent] gets past the guard, [Plaisance and McKinney] were there to defend and block shots,� Moncrief said. “This year, we definitely [have to] defend the ball and we really have to work on our defense. It has to be on point because we play against tough teams and we’ve got to know how to stop them.�

LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said the Lady Tigers are focusing on using their speed to create turnovers and apply fullcourt pressure to disrupt opponents’ offenses.

By applying more pressure, LSU looks to increase its steals from last year when the Lady Tigers were seventh in the Southeastern Conference with 8.3 steals per game.

Even though the look of the defense will be different, LSU’s defensive philosophy remains the same no matter how much the Lady Tigers adapt to shut down their opponent. “[The defensive philosophy is] to get to the help line and help each other whenever possible,� said senior forward Sheila Boykin. “As long as we are in the help line, and the offensive player sees other white or purple jerseys behind [the player defending the ball], they know not to drive on her because they got all of us that will be going up against her.�

The Lady Tigers also feel the loss of Plaisance, McKinney and Kenney on the offensive end of the floor. The trio averaged 34.1 points per game out of the Lady Tigers’ 70 average points per game.

Each played a key role in the

offense, and Plaisance led LSU with 15.3 points per game and was second on the team with a 34.8 percent shooting clip from behind the 3-point line. “[Plaisance] is somebody that allowed us to extend the defense with her ability to shoot the three,� Caldwell said. “Right now I see [freshman center/forward] Alliyah [Fareo] being that player because of her ability to shoot the three.�

McKinney led LSU in field goal percentage at 58 percent and added 7.5 points per game.

Kenney led the team in assists with 3.5 per game, 3-point percentage with a 39.2 clip and total 3-pointers made with 71

in 2013.

Moncrief and sophomore guards Rina Hill and Danielle Ballard look to replace the leadership these players brought to the court.

Moncrief and Hill have embraced their roles as vocal leaders. “It’s tough because I’m really a leader by example,� Moncrief said. “I really don’t communicate much, but now I’m forced to communicate. In order for our team to be successful, I have to be that vocal leader and coach already told me that I need to be that leader.�

Tigers are motivated Runners channel competitive spirit by fellow teammates BY jacob hamilton jhamilton@lsureveille.com

BY jacob hamilton jhamilton@lsureveille.com Cross country takes its toll on a runner’s mental capabilities as much as it does on their body. While running five miles competitively, runners face a moment when they must either let their bodies get the best of them, or fight through the pain.

“I come to the four mile marker feeling good, then I hit a wall,” said freshman runner DC Lipani.

“Eventually I get my second wind in the fifth mile, but that fourth mile takes a lot out of you.”

Senior runner Andria Aguilar said she has a history of suffering from lapses in her mental capabilities during races. Aguilar quickly learned a race is less about how her body is feeling and more about how much she wants to win.

“Being in the right place mentally is absolutely essential,” Aguilar said. “It’s something that I have gone on a journey with throughout my college career. I have learned more every year and I have a new outlook on racing.”

LSU cross country runners are in pristine shape because they run the same workouts coach Khadevis Robinson did through his Olympic career. Aguilar said the training the team goes through during summer workouts and the weeks before races thoroughly prepares them for the lengthy

courses they face.

Cross country team members said success lies in a runner’s ability to find an ulterior motive to push through the pain and past the toughest parts of the race.

The common motivation among the team is running for the people that have been by their side throughout the whole process — their teammates.

“I can’t let my teammates down. I have to do this for them and not just myself,” said freshman Jack Wilkes. “You have to break free of all the negativity of wanting to fall down and pass out and just think that it is bigger than myself. I am doing this for them.”

Aguilar said by keeping her teammates in mind when she runs, she has learned her body can give much more than she originally thought, and it has led to her most accomplished season as a Tiger.

Aguilar shared a first-place finish at the McNeese Cross Country Relay with junior teammate Morgan Schuetz, adding a first-place finish at the McNeese Cowboy Stampede and top five finish at the LSU Invitational.

“The training is there. We are prepared for it,” Aguilar said. “On race day, you may get nervous, but it doesn’t matter because you have put in the work. It’s about whether or not you can decide to step up and run for your teammates.”

Maintaining a competitive mindset while running long distances is a difficult task to master.

Cross country races are typically on three-to-five mile courses, giving runners more than 15 minutes of thinking time. Some let it get to them more than others.

“Every bad thought that can possibly pass through my mind [does],” said freshman runner Jack Wilkes. “The first mile we went out [at the McNeese Relay], it was sub-4:50, which is 15 seconds faster than I’ve ever taken out in a cross country race. When they called out the splits, I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t panic a little.”

Wilkes said he and fellow freshman DC Lipani should have finished higher than ninth place at the McNeese Cross Country Relay, but he slowed down when he learned how fast he was running.

“It’s about how tough you are mentally and physically to see how much you can hold your pace,” Lipani said.

Cross country coach Khadevis Robinson said the process was easier for him during his running career because his inner competitiveness would take over and push him past the negativity.

The best runners learn channeling their inner competitiveness and desire to win are the best routes to get past the negative thoughts.

“I could have handled that pace, but it psyched me out when I found out I was running that fast,” Wilkes said.

Robinson said he trains his runners to treat every day in practice like it’s a meet, so they’ll be in the habit of keeping a competitive mindset and it

“Repetition is the mother of all skill,” Robinson said. “If you get used to doing it in practice, then when you get to the meet, it will be automatic.”

Senior runner Andria Aguilar said Robinson told the runners to think about why they run and what they represent while wearing purple and gold.

Wilkes said he has managed to cut down on negative thoughts in the latter part of the

season by thinking about the lofty goals he has set for himself instead.

“I want to be the best,” Wilkes said. “I want to continue to get better every day. That is what is so great about having these guys on the team: I love competing with them and hope they do well, but I want to do better. I want to score [at the Southweastern Conference meet] and qualify for nationals. I want our [distance medley relay] team to qualify for nationals. That is really what I think of.”

Nistrup and Goldstein each have a strong chance of competing for the tournament medal in San Antionio this weekend. Each of them has a runner-up finish during last year’s season and will be striving to get a break-through win.

Tigers will rely on new doubles pair in Texas BY james bewers jbewers@lsureveille.com

The fall season has been a challenging, yet rewarding time for the LSU men’s tennis team.

The season has allowed coach Jeff Brown to evaluate a team featuring only one senior. Friday presents another steep test against Illinois, Texas A&M and Texas Tech in the hidden dual format at the Texas A&M Invitational.

The Tigers will travel to College Station, Texas, without sophomore Jordan Daigle and junior Andrew Korinek.

“Two of our top six won’t be there, so it will put people in a position that they’ll have an opportunity to play a little higher potentially than they have,” Brown said.

While the Tigers will lack two of their top players, they will be boosted by the unexpected success of a new doubles pairing.

The Tigers saw success this past weekend fim the ITA preseason No. 14 doubles pairing of junior Tam Trinh and sophomore Eric Perez, who reached the semifinals of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southern

Regional at Auburn University. It was only the second time this fall that the duo competed together in a tournament.

“We complement each other,” Trinh said. “I think our attitudes are great on the court, so that really helps.”

The singles performances of junior Boris Arias, senior Chris Simpson and sophomore Justin Butsch at Auburn also thrilled Brown.

“I can’t remember a year, really, where we have three singles players in the quarters in regionals,” Brown said.

“We were very excited for that.”

It’s the kind of performance the Tigers will need against stiff competition this weekend. The Texas A&M Invitational will feature seven of the top 50 singles players and five of top 50 doubles teams from the ITA preseason rankings.

Perez recognizes the level of competition but said the Tigers are focused solely on improving and sticking to their gameplan.

“I just think we are worried about ourselves right now,” Perez said. “Keep doing what we do and stick to our game plan, because our game plan is solid.”

best rushing defenses in the country. Ole Miss ranks second in the SEC and sixth nationally in rushing defense, allowing 97.1 yards per game.

Ole Miss’ front seven will test the will of the Tigers, who average 48 rushing attempts per game. As reliant as LSU is on the run game in its offense, sophomore wide receiver Travin Dural said it’ll be important for the Tigers to come out with a more balanced approach to defeat the Rebels.

“We have to be better in the run and pass,” Dural said. “We can’t just always rely on the running game because some games, it might not work. We don’t know how the game is going to go on Saturday. We don’t know if the

Ole Miss leads the nation in scoring defense with only 10.6 points allowed per game while giving up a nation-low seven touchdowns this season.

LSU coach Les Miles said Ole Miss’ defense is so effective partly because of its ability to get to the ball.

run is going to get stopped or the pass is going to get stopped.

We just need to come out and be able to move the ball and make plays.”

The LSU offensive line has improved its performance, but it hasn’t faced a defense quite like the Rebels’ this season.

LSU sophomore offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins is aware of the Rebels’ talent, but he said he believes the offensive line will be just fine.

“I believe we got to keep on doing what we’re doing,” Hawkins said. “We’re getting better every week. We have to stay communicating, get even better chemistry and stay physical. As long as we do that, we’ll be pretty well off.”

While Ole Miss’ run defense is one of the nation’s best, its pass defense is what’s stealing most of the headlines.

The Rebels are tied for first nationally with 15 interceptions this season, including three picks returned for a touchdown this season, which is also tied for first nationally. Ole Miss senior cornerback Senquez Golson tops the SEC and is second nationally with seven picks.

“I see a bunch of ball hawks, a bunch of guys who fly around to the ball and a bunch of athletic guys,” Dural said. “They play their technique real well, and you can tell they’ve grown a lot since last year.”

Dural said it’s important to not make mental mistakes against a defense like Ole Miss’.

“We talk about ball security, keeping the ball and just having great ball security, not giving them the ball, not giving them the opportunity to have good field position or anything,” Dural said. “Just end every drive with a kick. Try not to make those mental mistakes where we give them the ball with a short field.”

The Rebels have forced an SEC-leading 20 turnovers this season, which will put pressure on LSU’s offense to move the ball down field, especially in the passing game.

Dural said the most important aspect of the passing game is ensuring each route is run as precisely as possible, not giving any leeway for a potential turnover. “[The most important thing is] making sure your routes are at the correct depth and catching the ball and protecting it, making sure it’s secure,” Dural said. “There’s going to be a lot of guys around the ball.”

The game is set up to be a hard fought battle, and Miles said games like Saturday’s are what big-time college football is all about.

“These games are the reasons that you come to LSU,” Miles said. “The style of big rivalry, an opponent that you know well. We will enjoy preparation, gameday and the eyes of the college football audience on what’s going on in Baton Rouge.”

LSU defense looks to avenge last season’s loss to Ole Miss

BY Michael Haarala mhaarala@lsureveille.com When LSU’s defense takes the field Saturday night, it will be playing with a chip on its shoulder.

The last time LSU played No. 3 Ole Miss (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference), the unranked Rebels dismantled the Tigers’ defense. Led by then-junior quarterback Bo Wallace, the Rebels put up 525 yards of total offense, more yards than any other team accumulated against LSU all season.

Wallace went 30-39 on passing, slinging the ball for 346 yards and completing more than 75 percent of his passes. So when the two rivals square off at 6:15 p.m. tomorrow, the Tigers will be out for revenge.

“Bo was picking us apart on third down. He was making excellent reads and picking out the defense and making great decisions,” said sophomore defensive back Tre’Davious White. “He was very confident about where he was going with the ball, and the receivers were making big time plays for them. We’ll try to limit that this year.”

In the 2013 contest between the two, Ole Miss converted 11 of 18 third downs and scored on three of its four possessions inside the red zone.

This season, Wallace has looked dominant. He’s thrown 209 times with 137 completions for 1,899 yards and 17 touchdowns.

He has also been a threat on the ground, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Wallace is averaging 271.3 passing yards per game and has a pass-to-interception ratio of 34.8 to 1.

“He was strong last year, and he’s pretty much the same guy,” White said. “He can take off and run it. He’s a big, quick, physical guy that can put the ball in the perfect place for his receivers to

fall practice, from page 5 runs and has driven in a lot of runs. He has made most of the plays at third, and he has looked good, but it’s still early in the competition.”

Zardon is competing for the starting spot with freshman Greg Deichmann and senior Conner Hale, who Mainieri said will be an everyday player.

Mainieri said Hale will be in the normal starting lineup due to his dominating performance in the Cape Cod Baseball League over the summer. Hale’s position on defense will come down to the continuing competition among the three guys at third.

“So really the competition kind of is between Kramer Robertson and the guys at third to see if Hale is going to be second or third,” Mainieri said. “We’re kind of at that point where we’re just letting the guys play and kind of let it weed itself out.”

The Tigers are eighth in the nation in points against with 17, and the Rebels are 30th in the nation in points for with 35.4. Ole Miss has won against two ranked teams this season in Alabama and Texas A&M, while LSU’s opening-week

victory over Wisconsin is its only victory against a ranked team.

With the Tigers’ youth on defense, some players are in the process of getting acclimated to SEC rivalries. Defensive players who were freshmen in 2013 saw the bitterness of the loss in Oxford and are understanding the magnitude of the game as well as looking for revenge.

Then-junior running back Terrence Magee (14) misses a pass Oct. 19, 2013, during the Tigers’ 27-24 loss against Ole Miss at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Freshman pitchers impressing, Poche’ up and down Even with the loss of both Bain and Latz to arm injuries, Mainieri is encouraged by the talent he still has at his disposal during fall camp.

Right-handers Alex Lange and Jake Godfrey have impressed Mainieri the most so far this fall from their poise and pitching artillery. “[Lange is] a big guy with a good overhand delivery with a downhill plane, and he’s sitting at about 93 to 94 mph with an excellent overhand curveball and changeup,” Mainieri said.

“He shows remarkable poise for a freshman. He’s very focused, intelligent. He’s just got every quality that you want to see in a pitcher. I think this kid is going to be really outstanding for us.”

Mainieri said the same could be said for Godfrey, who can reach about 94 to 95 mph but sits at around 92 with nasty movement on his two-seamer along with a

breaking slider.

“He can touch 94 to 95 as well, but he pretty much sits at about 92, but he’s got a much more of a moving fastball than Lange,” Mainieri said. “Lange is more of a straight, hard power pitcher. Godfrey is more of a two-seam action where the ball runs a lot, and he throws a good slider. Both of them possess good changeups, but they’ve pitched equally as well so I’m just so excited about those two guys.”

Sophomore southpaw Jared Poche’ has been up and down so far this fall, struggling in his last outing despite showing glimpses of hope at times.

“He’s pitching again [Thursday],” Mainieri said. “I would expect his pride took a little bit of a hit last week, and he’ll be out there pitching well [Thursday]. Poche’ is the least of my concerns.”

You can reach Jack Chascin on Twitter @Chascin_TDR.

“Last year I was a freshman, so I really didn’t know a whole lot about the history of LSU and Ole Miss,” said sophomore defensive end Tashawn Bower. “But I could tell in the locker room after that it was hitting a lot of guys hard.”

Sophomore safety Rickey Jefferson is a defensive player who has stepped up to the plate as a leader on the Tigers defense this season. Although he didn’t see the field against the Rebels in their last contest, he said he still feels like he has something to prove.

“Even though I didn’t play, I still have a bad taste in my mouth,” Jefferson said. “Just because it’s another team in the SEC and it’s Ole Miss, a rivalry for us, so anytime we lose to a team like that in our division it’s a hard loss.”

The defense has been steadily producing turnovers, pulling in eight interceptions and picking

up eight fumbles, putting the Tigers at 18th in the nation for total turnovers gained. The Rebels have thrown six interceptions and given up four fumbles, ranking them 41st in the nation for turnovers lost.

To stop the Rebels’ offense, the defensive line may be a crucial unit in LSU’s pursuit of retribution.

“We’ve been attacking the line of scrimmage,” said sophomore defensive tackle Christian LaCouture. “I think the defensive line is just playing comfortable and keeping our technique, making sure that we do our job and nothing goes in the middle of us. If we do that and kick it outside to the guys there and make plays too, it’s a successful day for us.”

With homecoming week and ESPN’s “College GameDay” coming to Baton Rouge, there is much fanfare behind this year’s chapter in the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry. The game will likely have a record crowd, and if LSU’s defense plays like it has so far this season, a full Tiger Stadium could see LSU pull off the upset.

“We’re ready for it. We’re ready for this dog fight and to show the world what LSU is really about,” said freshman defensive tackle Maquedius Bain. “We’ve come together as a team. We weren’t together as a team when we first started, so we came together and now we have our mind on the right track and we’re going after that one goal.”

Top of the Class Competition is an important part of human nature, academic process THE AMAZING CYNIC RYAN MONK Columnist While it doesn’t feel particularly nice to come in second, third, or fourth, everyone loves to be the best. But for there to be a best that actually means anything, there must be many, many people who are not the best. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the way things work.

This is obviously the model of the real world, but it’s also the way college grading works. Many classes, especially those in the upper levels, are based on curves. It becomes less a matter of how well you can do and more of how well you can do compared to everyone else.

This does cause one major problem ­­— it makes students want other students to fail.

If you were only able to answer three of five problems on your test this morning, everything is still totally fine if the average is 50 percent, assuming the class has a curve — an assumption for which, I may be docked points.

We’ve all seen those television shows in which medical school students set out to sabotage their peers in hopes of landing in the top of their classes. While in my experience this doesn’t seem to be the norm, it’s definitely an existent phenomenon.

Some people think this is wrong, but I disagree. Competition is a natural and often healthy element of human nature.

I’ll be the first to say school should be more about learning and less about figuring out the best shortcuts for good grades. But it’s important we don’t kid ourselves here. Education, especially at the university level, is very much about deciding who is the best.

What did your parents, teachers and family members tell you about school when you were younger? Did they go on and on for hours about how rewarding it is to gain and apply knowledge?

Hopefully so, but probably not.

It’s more likely that you kept hearing about how if you work hard and do your best in school, you’ll have the opportunity to live a comfortable and happy life. While I personally believe education is an end in itself, we can’t deny that it’s also a means to another end.

There’s a reason there are so many resources on campus to help you get jobs. There’s a reason companies specifically come here to interview people, and there’s a reason you even put your GPA on your résumé.

As an employer who presumably wants to run a successful business, you aim to find those who are most willing and able to make that happen. Do you want to pick a name out of a hat and hope things work out? No, you probably want to find the best students in your field.

While the competitive nature of school adds a significant amount of what some would consider unnecessary stress, it also provides a lot of motivation that wouldn’t have otherwise been there.

I know I can say I’ve worked much harder to get good grades than I would have if I had been doing it just for fun, as shallow as that sounds.

While we might not all like having to constantly struggle to not be the worst, it’s a necessary condition of the college environment.

Government use of private information is identity theft NO WAY JOSE JOSE BASTIDAS Columnist Let’s face it: Technology is outgrowing all of us.

The idea of social media, the Internet and even mobile phones seemed unachievable a few decades ago, and now technology has surpassed our wildest dreams.

So rather than spending an unlimited number of hours trying to figure out the mechanics behind iCloud, we focus on learning how to handle ourselves in this new online world.

We are taught to protect our social media accounts, reject friend requests or follows from people we don’t know and think before publishing any information we might regret later.

Above all else, we are taught to be honest.

Movies, public service announcements and reality shows center around exposing individuals who misrepresent themselves online, because — like us — the law is struggling to keep up with the ethics of these new means of communication.

But when government agencies like the Drug Enforcement Administration commit the same indiscretions a middle school child would make, it’s time to click the update button.

Facebook made headlines Monday after releasing a letter condemning the DEA for impersonating real people to

courtesy of the associated press

The Drug Enforcement Agency has come under fire recently for using people’s social media pictures to secretly contact drug suspects. communicate with suspects of drug-related crimes.

The letter was inspired by the case of Sondra Arquiett, who sued a DEA agent for setting up a fake Facebook account in her name.

Arquiett, then known as Sondra Prince, was arrested in 2010 and faced charges related to cocaine distribution. She pled guilty and was sentenced to probation.

While she was awaiting the trial, however, DEA agent Timothy Sinnigen created the fake profile, posted photos from Arquiett’s seized cell phone

— one of which showed Arquiett in panties and a bra and another showing her with her son — sent and accepted friend requests from friends and suspects and held conversations with Arquiett’s acquaintances as well as a known fugitive.

All this happened without Arquiett’s consent.

The Justice Department obviously sided with Sinnigen, stating that while Arquiett did not give permission for the use of her photos on a fake Facebook profile, by allowing the police to access the information on her phone, she

“implicitly [consented].”

But this argument is completely outrageous.

If Arquiett granted the DEA permission to search her house for evidence, they wouldn’t be allowed automatically to take her personal items and use them to communicate with other suspects in her name.

It’s an utter invasion of privacy and ultimately makes the DEA guilty of identity theft.

As part of the curriculum in my media law class, we have the opportunity to talk middle

school students about online safety. One of the first topics that comes up during these talks is the fact that, while misrepresenting yourself online and other inappropriate online behavior may be unethical, it is not yet illegal in the U.S. Most of these kids will be exposed to blank profiles of strangers or spam Instagram profiles promising #likesforfollows, and we emphasize the importance of ignoring and reporting accounts they don’t know.

But if the Justice Department says it’s OK for government officials to misrepresent themselves online, what stops a child predator from putting a 13-year-old’s face as their profile picture?

Police and government agencies have solved crimes for hundreds of years without needing to steal private citizens’ identities, and simply because social media makes this process easier does not give them the right to do so now.

Cases like Arquiett’s might be the push our legislative and judicial branches need to begin reviewing and implementing laws to criminalize inappropriate online behavior.

The Internet and technology will continue to evolve at a rapid pace, but it’s time for the law to catch up.

‘Stand your ground’ laws need to help more domestic abuse victims OUR LADY OF ANGST SIDNEYROSE REYNEN Columnist With the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis instantly grabbing nationwide attention, “stand your ground” laws have proven to be a controversial focal point for issues ranging from gun control to race relations in America.

However, one element of “stand your ground” that’s often overlooked is its potential to help women in domestic violence situations.

Although the story of Marissa Alexander, the Florida woman who fired a single warning shot into the ceiling when her abusive husband threatened to murder her, is fairly well-known, many don’t associate “stand your ground” laws with victims of domestic violence.

Unfortunately, this might not be coincidental. Earlier this month, it was reported that South Carolina prosecutors were arguing that their state’s “stand your ground” laws weren’t meant to apply to domestic violence victims.

This was in response to the tragic case of Whitlee Jones and the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, Eric Lee. Jones left the couple’s residence after Lee instigated a tumultuous argument about a cell phone. After returning the same night to retrieve her belongings, Lee confronted and violently shook Jones, prompting her to stab him with a knife she had hidden in her bra.

Although no domestic violence reports had been filed for the duration of their six-year relationship, a neighbor who witnessed the initial argument called 911, reporting that Lee was pulling Jones’ hair. During the altercation, Jones also called the police. The dispatcher heard Jones crying, “Get

off of me, Eric,” before the line went dead.

A South Carolina judge declared that Jones had a right to kill Lee under the state’s Protection of Persons and Property Act, otherwise known as the “stand your ground” law. But it wasn’t over yet.

Assistant Solicitor Culver Kidd, the lead prosecutor of the Jones case, told Charleston, South Carolina’s The Post and Courier, “We believe that applying the statute so that its reach into our homes and personal relationships is inconsistent with [its] wording and intent.”

Besides being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It’s becoming more and more clear to me that, despite cases like these, domestic violence is something most would prefer to ignore. Case in point — had you heard of Domestic Violence Awareness Month before now? Or

were all of the “Save the Ta-Tas” shirts clouding your view?

Despite the fact South Carolina is a strong “stand your ground” state, they have a rocky record of excluding female domestic violence victims from the party.

Andrew Knapp of The Post and Courier reported that “Jones was the first of three North Charleston women to be charged with murder during the past two years after stabbing a boyfriend or a roommate she said attacked her.”

Louisiana is also an ultraconservative state with similar “stand your ground” statutes, but there are some major differences between our law and the Florida act that inspired it. While the similarities include the jury not being able to consider “the possibility of retreat” in “stand your ground” cases, the Louisiana law specifically says that the aggressor of the crime cannot claim self-defense.

If Alexander or Jones were

Louisiana residents, would they be suffering the same fates? What is the purpose of these “stand your ground” laws if not to protect women like Alexander or Jones?

What’s so scary about “stand your ground” is its potential to lock up innocent and traumatized victims, but let people with bad intentions, such as George Zimmerman, go free.

Lawmakers need to rethink “stand your ground” statutes all together. If, like the South Carolina prosecutors are arguing, “stand your ground” doesn’t apply to domestic violence victims, then who does it apply to?

Grumpy men who shoot teenagers for playing their music too loud?

People who assume that wearing a hoodie means you’re a dangerous criminal? I hope not.

Friday, October 24, 2014 forum, from page 1 first step is fixing the complex tax code.

Thomas, Dietzel and McCulloch, who signed a pledge not to raise taxes, are in favor of cutting spending to take care of budget issues.

Agreeing with them, Craig said there is no meaningful conversation in Congress going on about budgets and promised to start that conversation if elected.

The candidates were more united on the issue of equal pay for equal work. While all agreed that it is a moral principal, Edwards was the only candidate in favor of government regulation to enforce the idea.

On the topic of student loans, Thomas likened it to his stance on health care, saying the

government should keep costs low and money in consumers’ pockets high. He was not in favor of absolving debt that students knowingly signed up for.

Claitor and McCulloch agreed that the best policy for higher education would be for the federal government to stay out, while Edwards is in favor of a maximum 1 percent interest on student loans.

Dietzel said college administration is growing at twice the rate of teachers and researches, and the public needs to understand there are many options for students right out of high school.

Craig disagreed and was in favor of higher education being made available for everyone, while Graves advocated trade school as an alternative for some students.

Edwards got Craig’s vote as a thanks for pardoning him after

a marijuana infraction in college and restoring his right to vote.

Claitor and McCulloch said they would decide during the runoff, while Graves and Dietzel chose Claitor.

Thomas did not reveal the two candidates he would likely choose.

Edwards also declined to name anyone for fear of “hurting anyone’s chances.”

All candidates were against gerrymandering congressional districts in favor of one party and agreed “dark money” flowing into campaigns needed more transparency.

“If we know who’s giving [a candidate] his money, we know who is giving him marching orders,” Craig said.

All candidates encouraged citizens vote on Election Day, Nov. 4.
