MEET THE PRESS LSU Press Club promotes University authors

BY carrie grace henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com Bookworms shopping for gifts at LSU Press’ Season’s Readings Holiday Book Sale may have extended their own Christmas lists.

Attendees had a chance to talk to the people behind the words and purchase signed copies for discounted prices at Friday’s event in the Faculty Club.

Erin Rolfs, marketing manager, said the publishing company has limited opportunity to interact with readers, but the event is a great way to reach the Baton Rouge community.

LSU Press is responsible for publishing scholarly works including dissertations and graduate theses as well as other books authored

by University affiliates.

“We serve the creative literary community and our regional history by publishing books in those areas,” Rolfs said.

Ryan Orgera and Wayne Parent were at the event to promote their book, “The Louisiana Field Guide.” Orgera and Parent found experts from the state in each field to write chapters on topics ranging from geography and religion to sports and music.

Orgera, who received his doctorate in geography from the University, said the goal was not to write an encyclopedia but show how Louisiana expresses itself in different areas.

“It’s a lot of different voices, so you have to try and find a common thread,” Orgera said. “But it was so much fun.”

Kelli Scott Kelley, professor of painting, expressed herself in what she calls her autobiographical fairytale, “Accalia and the Swamp Monster.”

“The idea was to write a story as a starting point for a body of art,” Kelley said. “My art has

“There is an overage in the TOPS account that is not being used,” Droddy said. “No students are going to be affected by this.”

The state is not bringing in its expected revenue to support the $25 billion budget for fiscal year 2014-15. TOPS was one of the many areas of state funding the Jindal administration pulled from to close the deficit.

The University received no drop in funding in this round of midyear cuts.

Apart from fiscal year 201314, midyear budget cuts have been made consecutively for the past six years.

Higher education and health care are two of the most unprotected areas in the state budget, because funds are often reallocated from those areas to close midyear budget gaps.

In fiscal year 2012-13, the state slashed the University’s funding by about $3.4 million in midyear budget cuts.

Jindal also announced a continued freeze on non-essential public spending.

N.J. looks at ‘yes means yes’ college policy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRENTON, N.J. — You think the attractive woman at the party who has been chatting you up all night is ready to take things to the next level. She seems to be throwing all the right signals.

But if things turn sexual, are you sure that will hold up under legal scrutiny?

That’s a question at the center of a national debate surrounding “yes means yes” — more accurately called affirmative consent — the policy that requires conscious, voluntary agreement between partners to have sex.

A new proposal in New Jersey makes it the latest state moving to require college campuses to define when “yes means yes” in an effort to stem the tide of sexual assaults.

Whether the policy will reduce assaults remains unclear, but states and universities across the U.S. are under pressure to change how they handle rape allegations.

California adopted a similar measure in August, and New York’s governor directed the State University of New York system to implement a similar standard. New Hampshire

lawmakers are also considering it.

Supporters and critics agree the measure could encourage students to talk openly and clearly about sex and that a culture of “yes means yes” — an affirmative agreement compared with the “no means no” refrain of previous decades — could help address the issue of campus sex assaults.

Laura Dunn, executive director of the sexual assault survivors’ organization SurvJustice, said she was raped as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin in 2004, after a night of drinking at a party by two men and fellow members of the crew team. She agreed to be identified by The Associated Press.

Dunn believes such a standard could have helped her case during campus judicial proceedings, which failed to find wrongdoing.

Her experience led her to become an advocate for sexual assault survivors, she said.

“Had they had an affirmative consent standard they would have realized I would never have consented,” she said.

But skeptics of the policy raise questions — many of which have yet to be settled because the standard is new and it is unclear how many cases have been subjected

Affirmative consent standards could unfairly shift the burden of proof to the accused, critics say, pointing out that any sexual contact could then be ruled inappropriate absent some proof of consent.

could prove to be unfair to victims, who may themselves facing a heavier burden during campus tribunals under Title IX — widely known as the law governing the role of men and women in athletics, but which also aims to protect students from sexual discrimination — which currently defines the standard as “unwelcome and offensive touching.”

LOS ANGELES — It’s been called the letter that launched a literary genre — 16,000 amphetaminefueled, stream-of-consciousness words written by Neal Cassady to his friend Jack Kerouac in 1950.

Upon reading them, Kerouac scrapped an early draft of “On The Road” and, during a three-week writing binge, revised his novel into a style similar to Cassady’s, one that would become known as Beat literature.

The letter, Kerouac said shortly before his death, would have transformed his counterculture muse Cassady into a towering literary figure, if only it hadn’t been lost.

Turns out it wasn’t, says Joe Maddalena, whose Southern California auction house Profiles in History is putting the letter up for sale Dec. 17. It was just misplaced, for 60-some years.

It’s being offered as part of a collection that includes papers by E.E. Cummings, Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Penn Warren and other prominent literary figures. But Maddalena believes the item bidders will want most is Cassady’s 18-page, single-spaced screed describing a drunken, sexually charged, sometimes comical visit to his hometown of Denver.

“It’s the seminal piece of literature of the Beat Generation,

and there are so many rumors and speculation of what happened to it,” Maddalena said.

Kerouac told The Paris Review in 1968 that poet Allen Ginsberg loaned the letter to a friend who lived on a houseboat in Northern California. Kerouac believed the friend then dropped it overboard.

“It was my property, a letter to me, so Allen shouldn’t have been so careless with it, nor the guy on the houseboat,” he said.

As for the quality of the letter, Kerouac described it this way: “It was the greatest piece of writing I ever saw, better’n anybody in America, or at least enough to make Melville, Twain, Dreiser, Wolfe, I dunno who, spin in their graves.”

It turns out Ginsberg apparently was trying to get it published when he mailed the letter to Golden Goose Press in San Francisco.

There it remained, unopened, until the small publishing house folded.

When it did, its owner planned to throw the letter in the trash, along with every other unopened submission he still had in his files.

That was when the operator of a small, independent music label who shared an office with publisher Richard Emerson came to the rescue. He took every manuscript, letter and receipt in the Golden Goose Archives home with him.

BRAF plans to remedy Bluebonnet, Essen traffic congestion

BY savanah dickinson sdickinson@lsureveille.com In an area known for its bumper-to-bumper traffic, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation is making plans to remedy the traffic issues on Bluebonnet Blvd. and Essen Lane.

BRAF held a public meeting Nov. 18 to outline ideas for transportation changes in the Essen and Bluebonnet area as a component of its health district plans.

BRAF executive vice president John Spain said the meeting aims to get feedback from people that live and work in the area.

“We talked mostly about transportation, and we outlined for them maybe half a dozen ideas about the extension of certain streets, new streets as a possibility of alternatives to Essen and Bluebonnet that would relieve traffic on those,” Spain said.

BRAF plans to transform Baton Rouge into a healthier community consisting of transportation alternatives, physical activity support, healthy foods, housing options, safety and social activity support.

BRAF’s presentation compared the proposed health

district to a patient with numerous steps: diagnosis, vision, prescription and follow-up.

The diagnosis: BRAF has found the Essen and Bluebonnet area to have an ineffective transportation network, large, auto-oriented blocks, inaccessible natural environments and uncoordinated sprawling developments.

In the plan, BRAF hopes to enable safe pedestrian and bike movement in the health district area as well as better connect the community to nature through a multi-use trail network. New district parks will serve students and residents alike.

With these proposed changes, BRAF envisions a balanced community that is safe and accessible for its citizens.

The expansion of the health district will include mixed-use development, like restaurants, medical offices and stores. The housing options nearby in the area will grow to include townhomes, employee apartments, campus residences and senior housing.

This area of Baton Rouge is known for having the worst traffic congestion in the city, Spain said. He expects the conditions to worsen as Baton Rouge

courtesy of the baton rouge area foundation

BRAF proposes the creation of additional streets to mediate heavy traffic.

General Medical Hospital expands its Bluebonnet location and Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center possibly builds a separate children’s hospital.

“You can assume that if it’s bad today, it’s only going to get worse because there’s going to be a lot of activity and new buildings, and that’s going to attract more people,” said Spain.

To combat this problem, Spain said people can either change their driving schedules or adjust the transportation structure.

Spain said BRAF proposes to add new streets, extend some streets and finish other streets to allow more capacity and take pressure off existing ones. BRAF designed numerous street options, including new

railroad crossings.

These designs adapt as BRAF receives insight from the community and stakeholders.

To see these plans come to fruition, Spain said BRAF will compile the comments from its public meeting, make final recommendations to the stakeholders and public in January or February and then submit the ideas to the city.

UREC on the Geaux has successful first semester Staff eager for its return in the spring

BY carrie grace henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com After a successful first semester, UREC on the Geaux will be back in the spring to bring fitness to students.

UREC staff hosted weekly programs on the Parade Ground and in the Residential College Complex, seeing 216 participants over the course of seven weeks. Of those, more than 70 returned for a second session.

Wendy Windsor, associate director of programs and outreach, said she was pleased with the numbers, but she expects there are still students who have yet to hear of the program.

“Next semester, we will put a stronger marketing effort to really get more people out,” Windsor said. “We really want to see this continue to grow and really reach a larger population than the initial that we got out.”

Windsor said the most successful promotion came from participants and many students who returned a second time and brought friends with them.

Rugby suspended, forfeits fall season Club to return to practice until the spring season

led to problems off the field.

The 6-foot-2 Marietta, Georgia, native received copious amounts of criticism on social media since the Tigers’ shutout loss to Arkansas, with fans criticizing the quarterback for his lack of production.

The threats and outbursts by fans calling for his starting job have been well-documented

The LSU Rugby team was off to a promising start in its 2014-15 season after it beat Georgia, 79-15, and Mississippi State, 27-5, to start 2-0.

But the season was cut short when the team was suspended for violating University policies regarding alcohol during a post-game social. “[Alcohol] was purchased by a member of our team,” said club president Kevin Kovacic.

“The receipt was turned in to the UREC, and under their sport club travel policies, it is a major violation to consume or be in the presence of alcohol from the time a team leaves campus until the time it returns.”

The incident leading to the suspension occurred on Sept. 13 in Atlanta — after the match was moved from Athens, Georgia, due to inclement weather — when the team traveled to play the Bulldogs.

It’s customary to have a social with the opposing team after a match, Kovacic said, and alcohol was purchased by an LSU player older than 21 and

LSU quarterback Anthony Jennings looks past criticism from fans

BY Jack Chascin jchascin@lsureveille.com When starting the 2014 season, the LSU football team never imagined its fan base would escalate to the frustration it verbally displayed after the team’s loss to Arkansas on Nov. 15.

Fans on Twitter expressed their displeasures with sophomore quarterback Anthony Jennings after his poor showing against the Ra-

zorbacks. The tweets ranged from asking the quarterback to be benched to threats on his life.

Jennings has struggled all year, completing only 47.9 percent of his passes for 1,353 yards while throwing six interceptions. He has thrown for a total of 163 yards in his past two games while failing to get an efficiency rating of more than 88.

Lady Tigers plagued by missed opportunities on offense LSU looks to improve during tournament in Mexico

Freshman guard Jenna Deemer catches a pass in space on the corner only to miss a wide-open 3-pointer.

Junior forward Ann Jones steps up to the line and misses a free throw.

Missed opportunities have characterized the LSU women’s basketball team’s offense through its first five games.

“I think there’s definitely a frustration, but we have to just take it back and slow it down,” said junior guard Akilah Bethel. “We need to realize that the ball is in our possession and that we have control over what we do.”

After losing the leadership of former LSU guard Jeanne Kenney, the Lady Tigers have struggled to find a floor general to command their half-court offense, leading to a disjointed and inefficient attack.

LSU had consistent leading scorers in former forward Theresa Plaisance and Kenney last season, who averaged a combined 26.6 points per game.

This season the Lady Tigers have yet to find a

reliable scorer.

A different Lady Tiger has led LSU in scoring in each of its first five games, and the leading scorer averages 14.8 points per game.

Moncrief is the leading scorer with 10 points per game but has led LSU in scoring only once this season in the regular season opener against the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

Against No. 22 Rutgers on Saturday, Moncrief tallied her worst offensive performance as a Lady Tiger, going 1-for-11 from the field. “[Moncrief]’s going to get it going because she will work at it,” said LSU coach

LSU to play Clemson for 4th place in Paradise Jam

BY jack chascin jchascin@lsureveille.com It hasn’t been the tournament the LSU men’s basketball team hoped it would be, but the Tigers have a chance to end it on a high note when they take on Clemson today.

LSU (3-1) tips off against Clemson (2-2) at 3 p.m., and the winner will take fourth place in the 2014 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam. After a 70-61 loss to Old Dominion on Friday in which LSU continued its recent shooting struggles by going 20-of-51 from the field, it rode a huge second half against Weber State on Saturday to put itself back in the win column.

LSU struggled in the first half against Weber State, shooting 38.2 percent but headed into the locker room with a 28-27 lead. The team caught fire in the second half, shooting 61.3 percent in the latter half while outscoring the Wildcats by 13.

LSU dominated the paint, outscoring Weber State 52-26 down low. LSU sophomore forward Jordan Mickey led the team to victory with his second double-double of the season, tallying 27 points along with 14 rebounds.

Sophomore forward Jarell Martin, who was saddled with first-half foul trouble, snapped his three game double-double streak against Weber State, scoring only 11 points with four rebounds. It was Martin’s lowest point total of the season.

Mickey’s dominant performance and LSU’s big second half will be building blocks for a team that has struggled since its blowout win against Gardner-Webb in the season opener.

Clemson, which lost its first game of the tournament to Gardner-Webb due to a mistaken timeout call, bounced back with a 59-50 win against Nevada on Saturday.

Clemson has had its own share of struggles heading into Monday’s matchup, losing games against Winthrop and Gardner-Webb by a combined five points.

The media picked Clemson to finish 11th in the Atlantic Coast Conference after the conclusion of ACC Media Days on Oct. 29.

While Clemson was picked to finish outside the top 10, the ACC opponent will be a tough test for an LSU team struggling on offense.

LSU sweeps Auburn in home finale BY tyler nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com The LSU volleyball team further secured a spot in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday when it rolled through Auburn in straight sets, 25-16, 25-22, 25-20 in its final home contest of the season.

LSU (18-8, 13-4 Southeastern Conference) overpowered Auburn (12-17, 4-12 SEC) from the first serve to the last in the contest, holding Auburn to a .097 hitting clip.

“Our defense and passing did a really good job of setting the tempo,” said junior outside hitter Cati Leak. “It was a full team effort, and it gave the hitters and me a really good opportunity to see what was going on and pick our shots.”

LSU got off to a strong start, never trailing in its 25-16 first-set victory.

The defense dominated early, holding Auburn to a .000 hitting percentage in the set, and junior outside hitter Emily Ehrle earned back-to-back blocks to give LSU a 7-3 lead.

“Our blocking set the tone,” said LSU coach Fran Flory. “Emily [Ehrle] started it with the first couple points of the match stepping in front of people blocking. That was the key to the match. That jumpstarted us, and she allowed us to continue through.”

Auburn did not go down as easily in the second set, as it trailed 20-19 late with a chance to tie the match.

But LSU took advantage of a couple Auburn errors and finished

LSU junior Cati Leak spikes the ball in LSU’s 3-0 victory against Auburn at the PMAC. the set strong to take a 2-0 lead before coming out of the break and finishing the match with a convincing 25-20 third-set win to complete the sweep.

Leak led LSU on offense with a match-high 13 kills with just two errors for a .344 hitting percentage. She also accrued 12 digs and two blocks.

“Leak has matured,” Flory said. “We have to have Cati on the court to be successful. She’s just kind of the glue.”

Flory said Leak’s confidence has improved dramatically since she arrived at LSU, leading to improvements in all aspects of her game.

“She now believes she belongs,” Flory said. “She feels like she’s one of the better players in the league.

She’s never going to say that, but inside, she’s starting to show that.”

LSU celebrated senior night Friday during its contest with Missouri, but Sunday’s matchup with Auburn marked the last time seniors would play on the court in the PMAC. Senior setter Malorie Pardo said the moment was bittersweet, but she’s not allowing it to distract her from LSU’s final contest Saturday against South Carolina.

“It’s kind of sad,” Pardo said.

“I’m an emotional person, so I’m trying to keep it all in because I know we’re not done. That’s the great part about this year. It’s not over yet.”

Monday, November 24, 2014 JENNINGS, from page 5 for the past couple weeks, but Jennings said he isn’t worried about what some fans have to say.

“I could care less of fan criticism either good or bad — it’s not who we are,” Jennings said.

“In the building, the coaches, my teammates, the guys around me, those are the guys that really matter, and those guys off the field or anything like that don’t really matter in my process of getting better as a teammate, a player and a person.”

The criticism toward Jennings isn’t new. Fans have been calling for backup freshman quarterback Brandon Harris all season.

The first outlash toward Jennings this season was during the Tigers’ 63-7 blowout victory against New Mexico State in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 27. The stadium’s student section burst out into a “We want Harris!” chant after Jennings stayed in the game following three turnovers on the Tigers’ first four possessions.

Since the game against New Mexico State, Tiger fans haven’t been shy about sharing their displeasures with the quarterback controversy. They even created a #FreeBrandonHarris trend on Twitter during the Arkansas game.

“I’m ignoring that. It doesn’t really affect me at all,” Jennings said. “People are going to talk even if you have a great game. They’re still going to be like ‘Okay there’s still things you need to get better at,’ so there’s no reason to buy into any of that. People in the building are all that really matter.”

And the people inside LSU’s Football Operations Building are supporting their struggling play-caller.

Senior fullback Connor Neighbors said he’s fully behind Jennings and said he’s upset with how the fans have reacted to his struggles.

“To those people who do that obviously, they need to re-evaluate how they think of themselves, and maybe they should pull for a different team,” Neighbors said. “We don’t need any of that, we don’t want any of that, and if you’re going to be with us you’re going to have to be with us through thick and thin. But Jennings, he just brushes it off because he doesn’t care. People who are like that, they don’t matter to him, and they don’t matter to us. We could care less.”

Sophomore wide receiver Travin Dural said Jennings has done nothing but ignore the hate, even using it to fuel better play during practice.

“I would say [the criticism has motivated him],” Dural said.

“These past couple of days he has been having real great practices.

He’s looking real hungry.”

The quarterback controversy between two young, inexperienced players has put a cloud over the Tigers’ passing offense throughout their 2014 season. But Jennings said even with the displeasures from the fan base, he acknowledges he needs to improve to get the passing game back on track.

“I think it’s a mix of things, but I take it upon myself to correct that and get that fixed,” Jennings said. “Just making better decisions with the football, putting the ball where it needs to be, running when I have to and throwing the ball away when I have to. I think the problems with the passing game, it’s more me than anybody else.”

OFFENSE, from page 5 Nikki Caldwell. “I think the injury, not that she is plagued by it, but there are days when her knee doesn’t feel great. There are days when it challenges her and that sometimes can be a setback at times. I think the thing with her is giving her that time back on the floor competing at this level.”

Despite the ups-anddowns of individual members, LSU’s offense has averaged a 34.8 percent shooting clip from the field through its first five games, the lowest field goal percentage to start the season during Caldwell’s tenure.

A major part of this lack of production stems from poor shot-selection and an inability to take advantage of achievable layups and free throws.

LSU has shot only 67 percent from behind the free point line.

In the last two games, the Lady Tigers have missed 20 layups, including 13 in the first half.

Although LSU has outscored its opponents in the first half, it has been outscored by 13 points in the second half.

Turnovers have cut into LSU’s possessions in the second half.

The Lady Tigers average 11.2 turnovers in the second half and have tallied 28 less possessions in the second half than in the first half through their first five games.

J. Scott Applewhite / The Associated Press

Various cuts of beef and pork are displayed for sale Nov. 2, 2013 in the meat department at a discount market in Arlington, Va.

Animal cruelty in food industry should be highlighted and stopped no way jose jose bastidas Columnist I’ll never be a vegetarian, but after watching a video, I almost considered it.

As omnivores in the 21st century, we don’t have to think about where our food comes from.

We drive to Winn-Dixie and pick up a few bags of fish sticks and raw chicken breasts or go to McDonald’s and order our 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal, unaware of the lengths taken to supply us with our vast dining options.

But in a revealing undercover video, activist group Mercy For Animals showed the public how a poultry plant in Tennessee supplies Chick-fil-A with its chicken products.

Narrated by “The Simpsons” co-creator Sam Simon, the secretly-recorded footage shows workers at a chicken factory farm in Puckett, Mississippi — as well as in the slaughterhouse in Chattanooga, Tennessee — mistreating the chickens as they are transported and handled before transforming them into the famous Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich.

The video shows workers throwing chickens in crates, sometimes crushing their wings. Leg

deformities shown in close-up, Simon narrates, are a direct result of hormones fed to the animals to make them larger.

And what’s probably the most disturbing part of the video shows the birds hanging upside down at the slaughterhouse, where some miss the blade that is supposed to quickly slit their throats. Therefore, undergoing the feather removal tanks, which involve submerging in extremely hot water, alive, until another worker later manually beheads them.

We have come a long way from the days when we hunted, killed and cooked our meals every day.

Our desire for convenient dining options encourages food suppliers to produce our nourishments in the fastest way possible, sometimes disregarding the way the animals are treated and the conditions in which they are preserved before meeting their makers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has opened an investigation into the facilities, both owned by Chicago-based company Koch Foods. A spokesperson for the USDA told Buzzfeed News they “[take] the humane handling and slaughter of animals very seriously.” We should all be equally as concerned. Not only because we rely on these animals for sustenance, but also for ourselves. Keeping them in more humane conditions is healthier for both the animals and us.

One of the most disturbing moments in the footage is when one of the workers shows a picture of the area

where the chickens are kept in the facility. In the picture, the viewer can see a vast number of cockroaches and maggots on the floor of the facility.

This cannot be healthy for the animals and certainly not for us as consumers either.

Not even the angry cows in Chick-fil-A commercials can justify how badly these chickens are being treated, and the worst part is this has become the norm.

When we think of animal cruelty, most of the focus is set on advocating for pets that are treated badly by their owners. Susan Sarandon and Sarah McLachlan star in powerful advertisements featuring pictures of sad dogs in cages.

But you know what you won’t see in those commercials? Chickens and other livestock.

Even though the footage will most likely not have a major effect on the food production industry itself, it’s important that we are made aware of how companies are producing the food we love, so we can inspire change.

Animals that are bred for our consumption give us the nourishment we require to live — especially to us college students since most of our diets consist of fast food — so the least we can do is treat the animals with kindness while they’re alive.

Eminem American Rapper Oct. 17, 1972 — present

Opinion

Monday, November 24, 2014

Eminem’s violent, aggressive raps are unacceptable, misogynistic, disgusting Our Lady of angst sidneyrose reynen

Columnist

By a certain age, it’s no longer acceptable to do certain things. For example, when you were 10, your teacher told you to stop picking your nose because “You’re a big boy now!” And when you’re 25, it’s probably a good idea to stop posting tweets about how hammered you got at Tigerland last night.

And when you’re 42, it’s definitely time to stop rapping about violently attacking and assaulting women, Eminem.

Earlier this month, audio snippets from Eminem’s upcoming “Shady XV” compilation surfaced online and rightfully caused an outpour of concern over the rapper’s abrasive lyrics.

First, Eminem released a freestyle video to promote the new “Slim Shady”themed album. In the nearly 20 minute long video, Eminem’s rap includes a gross lyric that somehow ties Ray and Janay Rice and Lana Del Rey together.

The rapper, always known for his supreme technical abilities, says, “I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice / Play nice, bitch I’ll punch Lana Del Ray in the face twice like Ray Rice / in broad daylight / in plain sight of elevator surveillance / ‘til the head is bangin’ on the railin’ / then celebrate with the Ravens.”

Try saying that ten times in a row. Or actually, don’t. Because that’s disgusting.

In a song called “Vegas,” he directs his wrath toward fellow hip-hop star, Iggy Azalea. Unfortunately, Eminem doesn’t call out Iggy for her cultural appropriation and rap style that has often been described as “vocal blackface.” Instead, he threatens to rape her.

He raps, “So, what’s it gon’ be?/ Put that shit away, Iggy/ You gon’ blow that rape whistle on me.”

After the “Vegas” track surfaced, Iggy Azalea promptly took her opinions to Twitter, saying she was bored of “old men threatening young women as entertainment.” She even added that her 14-year-old brother was “the biggest Eminem fan,” which is the real problem here.

When I was in middle and high school, every white guy I knew listened to or even idolized Eminem. For some reason, these dudes liked Eminem’s “Is he screaming or is he rapping?” technique. But did they like his violent lyrics as well?

As I look back on some of the more profane lyrics to the rapper’s previous hits, such as “My Name Is” or “Without Me,” I can almost understand the reasoning behind them.

Before Eminem, white rappers were mostly seen as jokes. Vanilla Ice and the Beastie Boys weren’t meant to rival “serious” black rappers like GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan or Kool G Rap. But Eminem wanted to be taken seriously and wanted to be a threat to the music industry’s status quo.

As his crazy alter ego Slim Shady, Eminem said some pretty disgusting things, but it got him the attention he needed. Over a decade later, the rapper is the second best-selling male musician of the Nielsen Soundscan era, has had ten albums reach number one on the Billboard 200 and was declared The King of Hip-Hop by Rolling Stone magazine.

So, what’s with the shock tactics?

Eminem’s fanbase is diverse, but I worry about the young people that listen to his music.

This is different than Nicki Minaj rapping about her own voluptuous behind in “Anaconda” — or any of her singles. It’s her butt, and she has the freedom to talk about it all she wants.

But this is a 42-year-old man casually rapping about beating and raping women. If a 42-year-old anonymous man were to send Lana Del Rey or Iggy Azalea fan mail with his lyrics in it, I’m sure their bodyguards would be all over it.

It’s no surprise that the Slim Shady generation grew up to make those awful “Cool Story Babe, Now Make Me a Sandwich” t-shirts and casually threaten rape on 4chan.

So, Eminem, next time you think you want to make a “clever” rhyme about assaulting Ariana Grande or choking Katy Perry, think of the children!

WEB COMMENTS In response to SidneyRose Reynen’s column, “Crisis pregnancy centers mislead women,” one reader had this to say: Oh wow, imagine that, another extremely liberal article in the opinion section of The Daily Reveille. Despite being an avid reader for all my years at LSU, after reading your article I've never been so disgusted in my life. So I decided to put down the paper for good, so thank you. But that's a completely different topic. I have no idea why the women of today feel like they have the say-so over the life of a human being. This is NOT your call to make, unless in the case of rape or incest. Even then, it should be a carefully and prayerfully made decision. Killing a baby should not take the same amount of time as the drive through at a fast food restaurant. And yes, CPC's shouldn't lie, but abortion clinics shouldn't either. You should have to have a waiting period to really know what you're getting yourself into and what you want. (Because let's be honest, most high school and college girls don't exactly know what's best. Did you know 85% of women who have abortions have reported mental health issues afterwards? Do you know how many women painfully regret their abortions?? Of course not. ) Also this time period will let you get all the information and options offered to you. Most abortion clinics sugar coat the process and don't give the information necessary. It's disgusting how lightly they take murder. Does anyone realize this? That abortion is MURDER? That it should be just as illegal as killing anyone else. Just because you can't see them yet, does not mean that they aren't there. But of course, my opinion will never be posted in The Daily Reveille.

-Jyost

In response to Gordon Brillon’s column, “Jindal’s presidential hopes based on delusion,” one reader had this to say: Just because the GOP treats Bobby Jindal as a "token non white" doesn't mean the liberals think of him or treat him in the same way. Bobby Jindal is a monster. He has done nothing but pedal his own agenda, made it clear that he had no interest in our state and only his career, kicked the groin of our already weak educational system, harmed hospitals, hurt various other government workers. As the article mentioned he made it easier to open a business, maybe he is hoping that is what we will remember. These are reasons that liberals and any sane American do not like Bobby Jindal, basically cause he is a conservative moron. Just because the GOP and yourself are racists don't try to bring me or any other liberals into it.

Manship School of Mass Communication professor Jinx Broussard began working on her book, “African American Foreign Correspondents,” in 2006.

Broussard combed through thousands of newspaper articles, diaries, biographies and autobiographies in library basements and special collections to produce the first comprehensive treatment of the topic. The book received the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication History Division Book Award for the best journalism and mass communication history printed in 2013.

“It was time-consuming,” Broussard said, “It was tedious, but I learned so much.”

Mary Manhein, known around the country as “The Bone Lady,” did research for her book in the forensic anthropology field. With more than 27 years experience, she has abundant stories to tell.

Her third book in “The Bone Lady” trilogy, titled “Bone Remains,” is a collection of true accounts written in short story form. Each chapter contains its own mystery — from debunking Bigfoot in Kisatchie National Forest to recovering remains from the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

Manhein said people always ask, but she can never chose her favorite story.

“Everyone of them is my favorite at that particular time,” she said.

While all of the authors are connected to the University, LSU is also the topic of many of their books.
