Painted Posse gives final word on airbrushed photo Staff Reports The Painted Posse has spoken out about the stirring controversy surrounding LSU Athletics staff members’ decision to airbrush crosses from a photo of the wellknown LSU football fans that has garnered national media attention.

In a statement, the members of the Posse asked the University community to “switch the focus” from news stories to the group’s dedication to the University.

National news outlets including Fox News and the Huffington Post published stories nearly a week after the photo was released highlighting the conflict behind the airbrushing.

The respective articles were shared thousands of times across social media, and more than 700 comments appeared on the Huffington Post’s story.

While the Painted Posse still maintains that their crosses should not have been removed, they said they respect the University and other students’ differing opinion.

“The University has reached out to our group and apologized for this incident,” the statement reads.

“The following statement should be considered the last such communication from any Posse member regarding the ‘cross airbrushing’ incident.”

The entire text of the statement can be obtained at lsureveille.com.

The Posse said they will return to the Nov. 3 game against the University of Alabama in full form — crosses included.

“We encourage anyone who would like to honor Jesus Christ to join us by wearing a cross on Nov. 3rd.”

Will you wear a cross to the next football game in light of the Painted Posse’s statement? Let us know at lsureveille.com.

Illegal Mexican migrants returning to Mexico from the U.S. decreases

Apple’s new iPad Mini is much pricier than rival tablets

Evidence indicates that 20-year-old woman lied about being set on fire

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A new report by U.S. and Mexican researchers suggests an uptick in the number of illegal migrants headed to the United States in the first half of 2012, and a slight decrease in migrants returning to Mexico.

The report by Mexico’s Colegio de la Frontera Norte and the University of Southern California’s Tomas Rivera Policy Institute says the U.S. Mexican migrant population appears to have stabilized and may be growing slightly.

Economic woes cast shadow in Egypt over the Festival of Sacrifice

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Apple Inc.’s pencil-thin, smaller iPad will cost more than its competitors, signaling the company isn’t going to get into a mini-tablet price war.

The company debuted the iPad Mini Tuesday, with a screen two-thirds smaller than the full model, and half the weight. Customers can begin ordering the new model on Friday. Apple revamped its flagship, full-sized iPad just six months after the launch of the latest model.

California surfer killed in shark attack at coastal Air Force Base

CAIRO (AP) — Tamer Shamy’s butcher shop is all set for one of Islam’s most important holidays — colorful blinking lights have been festooned around hanging slabs of meat, Egyptian pop music is blaring and a cluster of chairs and benches have been placed out front. The only thing missing is the customers.

Egyptians are feeling the squeeze from nearly 20 months of political turmoil that have gutted the nation’s economy and brought home the meaning of the four-day Festival of Sacrifice, marking the prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — A California surfer was killed Tuesday by a shark off a beach at coastal Vandenberg Air Force Base, authorities said.

The attack was reported by another surfer about 11 a.m. off the coast of Surf Beach in Lompoc, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

The victim “had a friend who he was surfing with who saw the shark bite or hit the man,” said sheriff’s Sgt. Mark A. Williams.

“His friend ended up swimming over and pulling him from the water where he received first aid.”

WINNSBORO (AP) — Forensic evidence indicates that a 20-year woman suffering from extensive burns set herself on fire then invented a story about being doused in flammable liquid by three men who she said also wrote the initials KKK and a racial slur on her car, state police said Tuesday.

On Sunday at 8 p.m., Sharmeka Moffitt called 911 from a walking trail in Winnsboro and told authorities she had been doused in flammable liquid by three men wearing white hoodies. She suffered extensive burns on more than half her body and was taken to LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport for treatment.

BP asks for Gulf spill multibillion settlement despite objections NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Oil giant BP has asked a federal judge to disregard objections from a fraction of claimants and give final approval to a proposed multibilliondollar settlement over economic damages from the Gulf oil spill.

BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY

International students: Newly renovated Public Works and Planning Center opens Tuesday Obama is ‘cool’ Alyson Gaharan Contributing Writer

Students cozied up on couches and armchairs Tuesday in South Hall for a panel discussion about international perspectives on the U.S. presidential candidates.

The panel consisted of University students, including one alumnus, who represented Egypt, Bangladesh, France, Morocco and the United Kingdom.

The discussion was part of a series called “Cookies and Controversy,” hosted by the Global Connections Residential College and moderated by history professor Meredith Veldman.

Veldman said the idea for the panel came to her while she participated in the LSU in Ireland study abroad program this summer.

When people found out Veldman was from America, she said everyone, including children, exclaimed, “You’re American? We love [President Barack] Obama.”

The panelists agreed that the international community shows overwhelming support for Obama and dislikes Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Ahmed Abdel-Khalek, a University alumnus, represented Egypt on the panel.

“People didn’t believe Obama would win, but they were very happy when he did,” Abdel-Khalek said.

“We have a bad idea about Republicans from President [George W.]

Bush’s administration.”

History junior Jenny King and American studies junior Leah Ireland, exchange students and panelists from the United Kingdom, agreed that people from the U.K. think Bush represents all Republicans.

“Mitt Romney is going to be very difficult to disassociate with Bush because he’s a Republican,” Ireland said.

Naser Imran Hossain, a mechanical engineering graduate student, represented Bangladesh on the panel.

According to Hossain, the international support for Obama is more emotional than it is in the U.S. “Anything that does not rhyme with Bush is popular,” Hossain joked.

The panelists agreed that many people abroad, especially younger generations, support Obama for one reason: his “cool” factor.

“Obama just seems cooler, and for loads of people, that’s enough,” King said. “He just seems like a nice guy.”

According to Hossain, the images candidates project are more important than their policies.

A three-year renovation of the 90-year-old Baton Rouge Junior High School building culminated Tuesday when the new Public Works and Planning Center, a one-stopshop for Baton Rouge’s permitting and development, was unveiled.

“Today is an important day, and it’s important for a variety of reasons,” said Mayor-President Kip Holden. “To me, it all boils down to one word — efficiency. In today’s world, it is becoming increasingly important to do things in an efficient manner.”

The new building will house more than 150 city-parish employees from the Planning Commission and various divisions of the Department of Public Works, making it a place where developers can get answers quickly so their projects and the city can move forward, Holden said.

The 50,000-square-foot facility cost $9 million, which was partly paid by $3.4 million in federal grants, including $1.7 million for efficiency upgrades from an Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant obtained by the mayor’s office through the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The building is now 42 percent more efficient than other buildings of its size, which will provide a return on investment of $2.1 million over the lifespan of the new efficiency materials. These efficiency materials will also increase the building’s

life span and cut operating and maintenance costs in half, said William Daniel, chief administrative officer for the mayor’s office.

Some of the renovation’s efficiency upgrades include daylight harvesting, lighting control, LED light fixtures, “low-E” insulated windows, tankless hot water heaters, an advanced energy management system, an enhanced plumbing system that controls excessive water consumption and rooftop solar panels that can power the building in the case of a power outage, said David Guillory, director of the Department of Public Works.

Additionally, the center is the first LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certified municipal building in East Baton Rouge Parish, Holden said.

According to the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED is a “voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings.

The certification means sustainability, overall and energy efficiency and savings, said Daniel.

“This is no small achievement, and I want to commend our entire team for working to make it happen,” Holden said. “Moving

Students will plant pecan trees, auction off bicycles and pledge to live more eco-friendly lives today as part of the nationwide Campus Sustainability Day. Activities will last throughout the day, beginning with the edible plant landscaping around 9 a.m. and ending with a screening of “The Last Call at the Oasis,” a documentary about water resource management, at 6 p.m. in the rotunda of the Energy, Coast and Environment Building.

In addition, Student Government will host its annual bike auction from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tower Drive between Free Speech Plaza and Coates Hall, where they auction off abandoned bikes that were collected over the summer by the Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation.

La. politicians talk contraception

Megan Dunbar Staff Writer

The Paul M. Hebert Law Center panel on presidential election issues Tuesday started with a couple jokes, but panelists also spoke about issues such as healthcare and taxes, that are affecting the nation and Louisiana specifically.

Panelist and Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-La., poked fun at fellow debaters, saying the two Republicans would agree with everything she and fellow Rep. John Bel Edwards, D-La., said.

However, Republican Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain delineated the differences between the parties. While discussing the issue of religious institutions paying for employee contraception, he said the bill “stymies freedom.”

Peterson responded with the argument that contraception allows women the choice to plan for their lives and families.

After the back-and-forth proceeded for a few minutes, Edwards joined the discourse.

He said while the Roman Catholic Church is against contraception, he believes more than 90 percent of women in his church use it.

“If we did a little better job preaching and getting people to be faithful, we would not have a problem,” Edwards said.

Alongside this discussion, Sen. Dan Claitor, R-La., said in Louisiana, Democrats and Republicans treat each other with more civility than on the national level.

“The national scene might have something to learn from us,” Claitor said.

Home matches tough for Tigers Road success brings new home setup Chris Abshire Sports Writer

Even when Kenney had to sit out most of her senior season because of an ankle injury, ReynoldsMcClure valued the insightfulness from the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writer’s Association Class 4A Most Outstanding Player as a coach on the sideline.

When it was time for her to make her decision on where to play college ball, she wasn’t short of offers from high-profile programs.

The LSU soccer team found a new home this season: the road.

As the Tigers prep for Thursday’s regular season finale, a Senior Night home match up with Arkansas, they’ll have to overcome an unusually brutal home record.

The LSU Soccer Stadium confines haven’t been merely beneficial in recent years.

The stadium — renovated and expanded prior to the 2011 season — has been downright scary to visitors.

Entering this season, LSU sported a 33-5-7 home mark from 2007-2011, or an .811 winning percentage.

The tables have turned this fall.

LSU has won four games each at home and on the road this season.

But it has done that in only seven road games, while going 4-5-3 in Baton Rouge.

“In previous years, homefield has been our thing,” said senior midfielder Natalie Ieyoub. “Getting on the road put us away from distractions this year. That’s not how it

Kenney comfortable and experienced in leadership role

Micah Bedard Sports Columnist

LSU guard Jeanne Kenney isn’t a stranger to putting a team on her back — it’s second nature to the Baton Rouge native.

Teammates and coaches from throughout her playing career rave about the junior’s ability to motivate her teammates to be the best they can be. It’s not just a trait she’s acquired in college; Kenney has been displaying her team-first mentality since high school.

“The biggest thing she brings

to the team is she’s unselfish and a vocal leader,” said Tami Reynolds-McClure, Kenney’s coach at St. Michael High School in Baton Rouge.

At St. Michael, Kenney formed one of the best backcourts in the state with guard KK Babin, who now plays at Nicholls State. The two helped the school win back-toback 4A State Championships in 2008 and 2009.

In her sophomore season at St. Michael, when the Lady Warriors beat Ellender in the 4A State Championship Game for the

first of their two back-to-back titles, Kenney changed the entire complexion of the game with a quintessential example of an unselfish play.

Down by two with less than a minute left in the game and Ellender in possession, Kenney drew a huge charge. St. Michael then retained possession, scored and the rest is history.

“Not many kids are going to take a charge in that situation, that changed the momentum,” Reynolds-McClure said. “I will never forget that moment.”

Giants will ride momentum against Tigers DROP IT LIKE IT’S SCOTT SCOTT BRANSON Sports Contributor gin.

Let the prognosticating be-

The San Francisco Giants trounced the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals 8-1 Monday night in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series to punch their ticket to the biggest stage in baseball.

The Giants’ opposition will be the American League Champion Detroit Tigers, who swept the New York Yankees in a series that concluded Oct. 18. The Tigers outhit, outpitched and outclassed (I’m looking at you, ARod) the Yankees.

While the Tigers were rolling when they put the final nail in the Yankees’ coffin, nearly a week has passed since the team suited up and took the field. Sure, there are obvious benefits to having a six-day layoff, but history has shown postseason hibernation doesn’t always yield World Series success.

Conversely, after finally laying the Cardiac Cardinals to rest by winning three-straight elimination games, the Giants will open the World Series brimming with confidence in front of a raucous home crowd.

Historically, the idle time works in the Giants’ favor.

In 2007, the Colorado Rockies clinched the National League pennant Oct. 15, completing a seven-game sweep through the divisional and league championship series. The ALCS, however,

went the full seven games and the World Series didn’t get kicked off until Oct. 24.

Having won 21 of their last 22 games, the Rockies came out flat after a nine-day layoff and were subsequently swept in the World Series. When the games stopped coming, the Rockies and their World Series dreams fizzled.

When the Tigers step to the plate for the first time Wednesday night, we’ll see how much the time off affected the AL champion’s potent bats. Triple Crownwinner Miguel Cabrera and Home Run Derby champ Prince Fielder will have their say in the batter’s box, but the Tigers won’t need to light up the scoreboard to steal back home-field advantage in Game 1.

Detroit will send the 2011 GIANTS, see page7

LSU rugby squad confident as SEC slate approaches

Alongi, stout defense lead team Trey Labat

Contributing Writer

Flash back to the final play of the University’s football game against Texas A&M on Saturday.

Now, imagine that play on repeat for 80 straight minutes, with the only reprise coming during a 10-minute halftime.

That picture of controlled chaos resembles an LSU rugby match.

LSU’s club rugby A-team has been practicing this controlled chaos since the early 1970s. The club is enjoying a 3-1 start to the season and heads into Southeastern Conference play full of confidence.

“I have found that when we have a successful fall season, it leads to a successful spring season,” said Allen Alongi, club recruiting chairman and co-captain. “It allows us to test our depth, try out new plays and work on different game patterns.”

RICHARD REDMANN / The Daily Reveille

LSU freshman back Jeff Mauras tries to slip between two defenders on Tuesday during the LSU team’s club rugby practice at the UREC Sport & Adventure Complex.

During the early season SEC “7’s” tournament, — seven SEC teams participate — the Tigers fought their way to a 4-1 tournament record, using both senior players and

players newer to the roster.

Alongi — who plays Flyhalf, a position comparable to quarterback — was named to the All-Tournament team after the tournament

held Oct. 13.

Alongi leads the Tigers in scoring this year and is the reigning SEC scoring champion. He maintained his prolific scoring form by developing into an ace kicker.

After every score, or try, a player must kick the “extra point” from wherever the try was scored, leading to interesting angles and tougher kicks. A player can also attempt a kick during live play from anywhere on the field.

“As opposed to football, rugby kickers are fully involved with every aspect of the game,” Alongi said.

“Tackling, rucking, scoring and running with the ball: I may be winded but still have to take the kick.”

The Tigers lynchpin going into SEC play is their stout defense. During the “7’s” tournament the team held its opponents under 20 points in each game.

“We focus on team success much more than individual success when it comes to defense,” said Ateam player Jarrett Gartin. “We always look to improve our defense by working on our fundamentals

and fitness.”

In rugby, the physical exertion on any given play is comparable to football, but the level of conditioning is higher.

“Most players will play a full 80-minute game compared to 10-15 minutes per football game,” Gartin said. “The only break is halftime, so as the game wears on, your body is put through tremendous stress with little time to rest.”

Behind the scoring of Alongi and their stout defense, the Tigers look to continue their stellar play into the SEC portion of the schedule.

“We have played some real gritty games so far this semester, but the rest of the semester is our toughest stretch in a while.” Alongi said. “But I have no doubt in my mind that we are a force to be reckoned with, so I’m excited to see how our level improves come spring time.”

MEN’S GOLF

Tigers struggle at Isleworth, tie for eighth Lawrence Barreca Sports Contributor

LSU coach Chuck Winstead noted prior to this week’s tournament that the Isleworth Country Club would be a challenge for his young squad, and it proved to play just as expected, as the Tigers finished tied for 8th out of the 15 teams in attendance.

The team struggled with the course in the past, but LSU came into the tournament looking to reverse the negative trend.

“We started off strong, but overall we were pretty solid considering it was against a strong field on a tough course,” said LSU assistant coach Garrett Runion.

“There was definitely a lot of wind, and it made the playing conditions very challenging.”

One golfer wasn’t affected by the difficult course.

Junior Andrew Presley thrived in Windermere, Fla., shooting a 3-over par 219 for the tournament.

The veteran was primed to finish below par over the threeday competition, but three bogeys in the final round left him tied for ninth overall.

The Tigers started productively in the first round, as sophomore Curtis Thompson led the team with an even-par 72. Presley finished the first day at 1-over.

The remaining three LSU golfers, sophomores Stewart Jolly and Myles Lewis and freshman Zach Wright, had their share of struggles when the sun set on day one, as they all came in at 74 or worse.

But the golfers began to fall apart in the second round.

Thompson and Jolly shot 4-over and 6-over, respectively, and Lewis’ 9-over and Wright’s

8-over left the team looking for answers.

Presley stayed consistent heading into day three as he shot 1-over.

Thompson finished at 3-over, putting him at 7-over 223 through

three rounds.

Neither of the remaining three LSU golfers finished better than 11-over for the tournament.

The tournament marked the conclusion of the Tigers’ fall schedule, as they don’t play again

until the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate, starting Feb. 18 in Mobile, Ala. “We’ll be in the weight room and try and bulk up a little bit [during the time off],” Runion said.

“We want to focus on our short

game, our course management and our driving.”

always works.”

The 4-2-1 road mark — which is tied for the best road winning percentage in LSU soccer history — was capped by a two-goal overtime comeback win at Ole Miss last Friday and a 3-1 rout of No. 16 Missouri on Sunday.

LSU coach Brian Lee said the squad’s youth — the Tigers play five freshmen — is actually harder to corral at home versus on the road.

“You get focused on what’s important when you travel, especially as a young kid,” Lee said.

“The team needed some bonding time and a chance to know each other better. It’s an experience that isn’t always available [at home].”

After a season-opening road win at Oklahoma, LSU played its next 10 matches at home.

That stretch exposed the Tiger’s home weakness, with LSU once failing to earn a win in four straight home contests for the first time in Lee’s eight-year tenure.

“That long homestretch might not have been the best thing,” Lee said. “Complacency and comfort set in a little bit.”

For a change, Lee brought the road environment to his players.

GIANTS, from page 5 AL MVP flamethrower, Justin Verlander, to the bump. In three postseason starts, Verlander has allowed two runs on 10 hits, while striking out 25.

The Giants will counter with Barry Zito (yes, Barry Zito), who was lit up in the divisional series against the Reds but bounced back to pitch 7 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 4 of the league championship series.

Beyond Game 1, the Tigers will have the advantage of a fully-rested set of starting pitchers.

Doug Fister and Anibal Sanchez have been tabbed as the Tigers’ Game 2 and Game 3 starters, respectively. Fister and Sanchez both have two postseason starts and an identical 1.35 postseason ERA. After shuffling their rotation in the postseason, the Giants will be scrambling to come up with pitchers, especially considering they have just one day of rest before hosting the Fall Classic.

Giants coach Bruce Bochy will go with Ryan Vogelsong and his 1.42 ERA and two postseason wins for Game 2, and left-hander Madison Bumgarner will get the nod in Game 3.

Matt Cain earned the Giants’ win in Game 7 of the NLCS and will start again in Game 4 of the World Series.

With a week off to rest and stability in the starting lineup, the Tigers have the advantage on the clear mound.

Giants catcher and NL MVP candidate Buster Posey could put a dent in the Tigers’ rotation that allowed just seven runs in four NLCS games, but as of late, the Giants’ spark on offense has come from an unlikely source.

Second baseman Marco Scutaro is the hottest hitter on the

earlier this month, Lee reconfigured the Tigers’ practice routine and field setup.

“There wasn’t much warning, but we came into the locker room one day and the whole room was switched around,” said freshman midfielder Heather Magee. “The benches were moved to the other side of the field. He wanted us to feel uncomfortable, like we were at a different field.”

In a small sample size, the ploy seemed to work. LSU played a ranked Florida squad in a 2-0 loss and then earned its first SEC home win of the season two days later, defeating the Commodores, 1-0.

With an SEC Tournament berth practically dependent on at least a draw against the Razorbacks, the Tigers want to carry the results of their adopted road home with them, albeit with one difference.

“Let the play and the momentum we have do the work and not a crowd or a home field,” Magee said. “But when you score on the road, the crowd is just completely silent. We’ll take the goals and the wins, but maybe some cheering to go with them [Thursday] would be nice.”

In nearly three months in the Bay Area, Scurato batted .362, finished the regular season with a 20-game hitting streak and is riding a 10-game postseason hitting streak.

Scutaro batted an even .500 in the NLCS and was named the series’ MVP for his efforts.

The Giants will need a quality series from Scutaro, Posey, Pablo Sandoval and company should they hope to secure a second World Series in three years.

And I think they’ll get it.

Despite a hodge podge rotation, a powerful Tigers lineup and Cy Young winner Verlander on the mound for Game 1, the Giants have the momentum and

offers from Stanford, Florida State and LSU, among others.

Despite having the option of competing at LSU in her own backyard, her college choice wasn’t as cut-and-dry as it seemed.

“I went on most of the unofficial visits with her,” Reynolds-McClure said. “It was a roller coaster ride for her. A lot of people don’t realize what these kids go through.”

When it came down to it, playing at a prominent women’s basketball program in front of close family and friends was a win-win proposition Kenney couldn’t pass up.

“It was just that little voice in my head that said stay here,” Kenney said. “Staying close to home is always a good thing.”

Kenney committed to play under former LSU coach Van Chancellor, but now finds herself as a junior in the second season of coach Nikki Caldwell’s tenure. Last season, she was forced to shift to the point guard position after senior Destini Hughes suffered a knee injury Jan. 19.

The sharp-shooting Kenney saw her three-point attempts drop from 111 in her freshman campaign to only 65 a season ago. Adding point guard freshman Danielle Ballard to the mix allows her to

page 7 move back to her natural shooting guard position, something Caldwell is excited to see.

“That [addition of Danielle Ballard] will allow us to give Jeanne Kenney more opportunities to score off the basketball,” Caldwell said.

“Last year, she had to sacrifice some of her game in order to run the point. This year we expect her to be an offensive threat.”

Not only will more of the scoring load be dumped on Kenney’s plate, but the lack of upperclassmen will also make her more involved with helping younger players along with senior Adrienne Webb in the upcoming 2012 season.

“With the loss of five seniors, we are leaning on Jeanne Kenney and Adrienne Webb to carry that leadership role,” Caldwell said.

Webb, one of two seniors on the roster, has taken notice of the

junior’s ability to encourage her teammates, even when the odds aren’t in her favor.

“She is not only a great player, but a great person and a great leader,” Webb said. “She is one that if we’re down in the game and we can’t seem to turn it around, she may be the one to give us that spark on the court, that way we can turn it around.”

But the vocal Kenney suggests another reason her teammates look to her in crucial moments.

“We have a lot of leadership on this team and people have really stepped up,” Kenney said. “I just happen to be the loudest.”

University missteps with airbrush incident

In response to the news story, “University broadcasts airbrushed photo, upsets religious students,” readers had this to say: “Hypocrites! The school has messed all over themselves. The administration looks like a bunch of fools. The students they photographed are Christian. They are who they are. Is the school trying to hide that?

Should they have also painted one student black? Made another a female instead of male? Wouldn’t want to offend anyone by making it seem like its only white males who go there and participate in athletic cheering after all… Where does it stop? What is the end goal?

If one of the students was a Muslim female and had a headscarf would they also photoshop the headscarf out of the picture?

The photoshopping shows a huge lack of maturity by the the staff involved in publishing the photo.”

- eyesright1 In response to Taylor Hammons’ column, “Stock market correction means it’s time to dump stocks,” readers had this to say: “I have read about the coming crash and heard the smart thing to do is to buy and store real assets food, water, access to food and water, gold, sliver, anything of value. You can’t possible save enough cash in your home to cover the price these things will rise to. Lets hope we all continue to find a way to work together.

If everyone goes into hoarding mode, even cash initially is hoarded and gains in value against some things (iPods and such), but dollars do not rise in value to keep up with the basic staples.

Many companies close, even Apple crashes in real terms.

After the shock, people will realize cash is near worthless.

Stocks will likely soar through the roof with everything else but even if your $25 stock comes back to 1000 “dollars” a thousand dollars may buy you a sandwich.

Your real gain may be a 90 percent loss, or 10 percent of what you put in, vs the alternative, a total loss.

The rich are rich because they own tangible things and have protection.”

BLUE-EYED DEVIL NICHOLAS PIERCE Columnist For a university in the Bible Belt, LSU isn’t being too nice to its Christians.

Last week, following the Tigers’ valiant defeat of the South Carolina Gamecocks, the University sent out a broadcast email featuring a photograph of four Tiger football fans.

The four fans, Joel D’Aubin, Ben Wallace, AJ Fagan and Cameron Cooke, were pictured Tiger’d to the nines, their chests and faces painted in purple and gold — their countenances fixed with the steely gaze of true disciples of Death Valley.

But it wasn’t LSU’s 23 to 21 win over the Gamecocks that got their picture plastered across the websites of Fox News and the Huffington Post Monday.

It was how the University chose to edit that photograph that has raised the national media’s ire.

You see, the men belong to a group known as the “Painted Posse.”

They convey their Christian allegiance by painting a small purple cross on their shoulders, blending it into their costumes and thus calling you toward their faith on a deep, subliminal level.

Luckily for us, the University vigilantly caught onto the Posse’s scheme and quickly photoshopped the crosses off of their shoulders.

That was certainly a close call — if the University hadn’t drastically overreacted and swiftly made a mockery of their students’ First Amendment rights, someone may have gotten mildly annoyed.

The University has since stated they will no longer use that photo in their emails. What a novel idea: avoiding controversy instead of creating it.

Why not use the unedited picture, though? What’s wrong with showing that some of your students are religious?

I don’t know what’s more offensive, the affront to my Christian friends or the way this whole

fiasco was botched.

Firstly, if our University is public, and the First Amendment is supposed to protect our freedom of speech in the public sphere, what’s not adding up here?

Since when has it been illegal, or at least impolitic, to display religious iconography in public? Especially in Louisiana, the fleur-de-lis is a religious symbol and it’s emblazoned across the helmets of the New Orleans Saints — I mean, they’re called the Saints.

And after the money Louisiana taxpayers put up for that stadium, don’t you dare argue the Saints aren’t a state institution.

There are half a dozen churches and chapels on campus, three of them literally in a row by the North Gates.

I thought the whole idea behind separation of church and state was that we were cool with religion as long as no faiths were discriminated against.

You just discriminated, LSU. You just did what you were trying not to do, but on an infinitely larger scale.

In trying to protect people’s delicate sensibilities, you just pissed off the largest body of religious folks on campus.

What were you thinking?

Secondly, the public relations perspective: Radical reverends commonly denounce our state universities as nothing but communist indoctrination factories intent on producing evolution-spouting whores of Babylon.

Public universities have to fight that stigma to maintain a culture of impartiality and openness — not play right into it.

This is the sort of stuff the religious-right’s “War on God” is made of — the University didn’t just give the Pat Robertson types some ammo, it loaded the clip and chambered the round.

For the love of Mike (the Tiger), the University was first founded as a college for training

Louisiana wants sex, but needs sex education FRIED PHILOSOPHY AARON FRIEDMAN Columnist At the risk of sounding like an old man, I have to say I’d rather date my own mom than watch another one of MTV’s “Real Rules Road World BattleSex Challenge of the Exes” or whatever recycled trash they’re televising now.

That being said, it pains me to commend MTV’s now defunct “Teen Mom” for its efforts in raising awareness of issues surrounding sex education and teen pregnancy. While its approach was as misguided as some of its other endeavors — documenting life in New Jersey, for example — MTV was at least willing to show a smidgen of the reality concerning teen pregnancy.

The same cannot be said of Louisiana.

Whereas putting our heads together in some situations has produced tremendous results, our collective efforts to decide how to even think about sex education and teen pregnancy have demonstrated our utter ineptitude as a society.

Outside of its sheer number of viewers, “Teen Mom” may be considered a success because it opened the discussion on sex education. It failed, however, when it became an opportunity to gawk at grossly overdramatized situations and a hurtful misrepresentation of teen pregnancy.

“I absolutely hate that show,” 19-year-old Kristen Miranda told me. Miranda was 16 when she became pregnant. “I’ve actually

JAKE LEBAS / The Daily Reveille

had people walk up to me and be like, ‘Oh my God, you’re a teen mom? What is wrong with you?’ and stuff like that. It’s very difficult to have people look at me like that just because of a TV show.”

Halfway through her pregnancy, Miranda transferred from Ursuline Academy to the St. Gerard Majella Alternative School in New Orleans, a school that caters to the needs of pregnant high schoolers.

Majella is relatively unknown, and Miranda only had

one classmate while she was there.

The other student transferred from another private school, Archbishop Chapelle. Unlike Miranda, she was ejected as soon as her school found out she was pregnant, and though she would later receive her diploma from Chapelle, she was not allowed to walk at graduation. She more or less disappeared.

Both Ursuline and Chapelle are Catholic schools, so it’s difficult to say Chapelle’s decision was solely motivated by religion.

Why did they feel the need to sweep this issue under the rug? If MTV can talk to an entire nation of children about pregnancy, why can’t one pregnant girl walk the halls of a high school?

After all, a school’s purpose is to educate. Louisiana doesn’t require public schools to offer sex education courses, though, and it’d be nearly impossible to demand it in a private school.

Miranda said that, in lieu of actual sex education, Ursuline offered a psychology class to juniors requiring the girls to parent

a doll for one to two weeks, 24/7.

“I guess it kinda helped some people,” she said. “But to me it wasn’t a big deal. I actually took that class and it didn’t do anything.”

My experience with sex ed. in public school seems similarly ineffective. As far as I can remember, it was just a dusty VHS tape of a woman giving birth.

Louisiana needs to quit horsing around when it comes to sex education. Preaching abstinence or not preaching at all won’t stop kids from canoodling on the couch.

By failing to talk about these subjects and ignoring those girls who do become pregnant, they allow the subject to fall into other, less capable hands.

Though these issues ultimately affect all of us, they are of immediate importance to the youth of this state.

For teenagers, pregnancy does not discern age. We should be equally blind when passing judgment on the choices of others.

Ignore, for now, pro-life or pro-choice arguments and dedicate yourself instead to being proactive in helping teenagers make educated choices as they enter a stage in their lives where they may become sexually active.

It is a task too important to leave up to MTV. Aaron Friedman is a 22-year-old writing and culture senior from Destrehan.

Plausible CU election prediction points to Romney win THE DAMN HAMM TAYLOR HAMMONS Columnist Let the predictions begin – again.

Back in August, an overwhelming number of predictions claimed the outcome of this year’s election. But now that November is a week away, the only predictions catching eyes are the ones with credentials.

One such eye-catching prediction comes from two Colorado University professors who combined their brains and computer screens to manufacture a prediction program for election seasons.

Their program has accurately predicted the election outcomes since 1980. It even predicted Al Gore, former Democratic presidential nominee, would win the

popular vote and former President George W. Bush would win the electoral votes.

This year, their program gives Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney the win by a landslide, even in spite of President Barack Obama’s current lead with 237 electoral votes and Romney’s 206 electoral votes.

According to the results, Romney will take 330 of the total 538 Electoral College votes.

Obama is estimated to fall behind with only 208 votes.

The characteristic separating this prediction from the rest is that the program analyzes electors, not the public. After all, we don’t elect the next president, the electors do.

Despite the program’s accuracy, there are some factors worth noting.

The professors used statebased economic data to build the model – data that has been available since 1980. The program has

not been around since 1980, but has simply applied the data to past scenarios.

A model can be built based on the trends of the past, but anything can still happen. The real question is whether the program will be able to accurately predict an election outcome before it occurs.

Also, the model has an average error rate of five states and 28 Electoral College votes.

But when the rates of error numbers are applied, Romney’s dominant 330 lead reduces to 303, and Obama gains the losses, moving him to 236. Romney still wins.

Complacency kills, though.

Let’s assume for a minute this prediction is, in fact, correct.

That means we’ve seen the future and therefore have changed the future.

We are right back where we started.

When it’s all said and done,

predictions don’t matter that much. Yet, we love to gamble and have predictions for almost everything.

Predictions influence the way we perceive the future and the way we carry ourselves until judgement day.

Coming into the season, Romney was not so hot on the polls, and most predictions had the president winning. Nonetheless, Obama was said to have little competition.

In fact, Romney was mocked so often that it wasn’t until after his performance in the first presidential debate that he was taken seriously.

Correlation is not causation, but it’s incredibly helpful that Obama was as unprepared as he was in the first presidential debate.

Will the same thing happen to Romney at the finish line?

Prior to the final presidential debate, Romney and Obama said

it would be their last campaign.

I think we all know what that means: more political propaganda to attack the opposition.

Romney has a few weeks left to slip up, but the model predicts he can win if he can hold his smile until election day.

In the end, though, a model will never be able to predict everything. Abrupt and trivial changes could flip the prediction on itself.

Considering the model’s accuracy, though, it’s worth paying attention to.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012 Campus Crime Briefs Student arrested for damaging Kirby Smith Hall security camera University student Christopher David Lloyd, 18, was arrested Oct. 18 for tampering with a $1,000 surveillance camera in Kirby Smith Hall.

On Sept. 18, LSU Police Department officers were notified of a damaged camera in the hall, LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said.

Upon reviewing footage from the camera, officers identified Lloyd as being in the area of the camera when it was broken.

CARMAN, from page 1

as chancellor of the Colorado State University System.

Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins, who previously served as chancellor and system president, is temporarily filling both positions.

Carman said a search firm at UNR sought him out, and he was offered the position on Thursday. He will earn $292,500 a year, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported.

“I didn’t know much about the university,” Carman said. “But the more I learned, the more I was impressed.”

He particularly liked that he would have some oversight of the University of Nevada School of Medicine.

Carman also said he’s looking forward to working with Marc Johnson, UNR’s new president, who was appointed in April.

Though he’s made the decision to leave, Carman said he has no bitter feelings about the University despite working through recent budget cuts.

“I have great affection for LSU and always will,” he said. “It was just time for me to consider another professional opportunity.”

Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell thanked Carman for his contributions to LSU. “We appreciate the leadership that Kevin Carman has provided to

Lloyd, of 21 Cala D’or, Laguna Niguel, Calif., was arrested and charged with tampering with surveillance equipment.

He was booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

Self-proclaimed homeless man with large knife sleeps in Coates Facility Services workers notified LSUPD of a man sleeping in the basement of Coates Hall sometime after 11 p.m. on Oct. 19.

When officers arrived, they determined the man was 27-year-old Matthew L. Parker. the College of Science,” Bell said in a statement. “He has worked hard to enhance the College of Science and its research and teaching efforts, while also recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary research opportunities across campus.”

University officials will appoint an interim dean to the College of Science and the University will enter a national search for Carman’s permanent replacement, according to

The Daily Reveille Parker, who is not affiliated with the University, was carrying a large knife in his back pocket. He told officers he was homeless and looking for a place to sleep.

Officers arrested him, charged him with unauthorized entry of a place of business and carrying a dangerous weapon on school property.

He was booked in the EBR Parish Prison.
