Fraternity to provide designated drivers Pi Kappa Alpha honors late brother Deanna Narveson Contributing Writer
SE in the first half, a number of mistakes had the Tigers heading to the locker room with a mere 20-16 lead. The Tigers’ trouble started when miscommunication between senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger — coming off a career-worst three interceptions against Ole Miss last week — and
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will be on call from 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. tonight, with each brother ready to drive any members of the Greek community home if they’ve had too much to drink. The night of sobriety to help others stay safe is in honor of Miles Liner, a PKA brother who was killed by a drunk driver one year ago this week, said Liner’s pledge brother Zach Jongema. “I suggested the event as a way to honor Miles — he was a really good friend of mine,” Jongema said. “I wanted to do something to serve the community and to memoriali e him.”

Tigers’ victory spoiled by self-destructive first half
Tyler Nunez Sports Writer
y the time the final whistle blew, the No. 11 LSU football team had posted a season-high 672 yards of total offense and allowed a season-low 198 yards on defense in its 48-16 victory against Furman. ut a first half characteri ed by turnovers, shoddy defense and kicking errors dominated talking points
after the game. “The game started sloppy,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “We turned the ball over twice in the first half. The first-half scores were not inclined to what we would like. [During the] second half, the offense took control, and the defense played like they were supposed to.” While LSU (7-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) statistically overpowered the Paladins (3-5, 2-2
FOOD
Kolache Kitchen takes to the streets with food truck Mobile eatery to frequent Tigerland Alexis Rebennack Staff Writer
Baton Rouge’s own Kolache Kitchen is rolling up its sleeves and rolling out a whole new addition to the restaurant: a food truck. The Rolling Pin, The Kolache Kitchen’s new food truck, parked its wheels for the first time Thursday in downtown Baton Rouge. Will Edwards, owner of The Kolache Kitchen, said there aren’t many food options near the downtown bar scene or near Tigerland, but with the addition
of The Rolling Pin, he’s changing that. Edwards said both downtown and the University’s campus have changed drastically over the past seven years he has lived here, and he believes Baton Rouge will inevitably become a food truck destination. Edwards said having a food truck has been part of his business plan from the beginning. “I had a family friend who used to sell cupcakes out of her trailer all around Texas, and she was trying to sell the trailer, and I was like, ‘Well, that would be perfect,’” Edwards said. Edwards said he’s had the trailer for more than a year, but he put it on the back burner until he felt the time was right.
The Rolling Pin will travel to various places across Baton Rouge, including downtown and surrounding Tigerland. “I am going to update Facebook and Twitter every day where The Rolling Pin is going to be,” Edwards said. He said the truck will ideally be in service Monday through Saturday, six days a week in the morning and four days a week at night. The food truck boasts the same menu as The Kolache Kitchen, which includes kolaches, breakfast tacos, empanadas, rancheros and beverages. CHARLES CHAMPAGNE / The Daily Reveille
