Junior center T-Bob Hebert, who replaced injured sophomore P.J. Lonergan late in the game, snapped the ball with three seconds remaining, but Jefferson wasn’t ready, and the ball sputtered 17 yards behind him as the clock read 0:00.

Secretary of State Jay Dardenne and New Orleans attorney Caroline Fayard will compete in a runoff for the office of lieutenant governor after beating six other candidates in Saturday’s sparsely attended election.

Dardenne, a Republican, earned 28 percent of the vote; Fayard, a Democrat, earned 24 percent. Lafayette-area country entertainer Sammy Kershaw earned 19 percent, and all other candidates earned less than 10 percent.

Dardenne, who served as an influential state legislator before serving as Secretary of State, polled the highest and raised the most money before the election.

Fayard, who has worked at the White House and with the Goldman Sachs investing firm, also raised considerable sums after receiving former President Bill Clinton’s endorsement.

Dardenne and Fayard will compete on the same Nov. 2 ballot as the contentious U.S. Senate race between incumbent David Vitter, R-La., and Democratic congressman Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville.

Ridley’s score on second chance play keeps LSU undefeated with 16-14 win against Tenn.

Sean Isabella Sports Writer

Nearly 11 months ago, the LSU football program dealt with one of the most hectic, head-scratching endings LSU fans have ever seen in a 25-23 loss Nov. 21 at Ole Miss.

LSU coach Les Miles emphatically vowed, “That will not happen again.”

Well, it did. And it nearly cost LSU (5-0, 3-0) a major blemish in the loss column.

LSU junior running back Stevan Ridley bulldozed his way into

the end zone from the 1-yard line on the last play of the game Saturday to save Miles from a debacle and give LSU a 16-14 win against Tennessee (2-3, 0-2) in one of the most bizarre finishes to a game in LSU history.

Even in the close win, LSU stayed at No. 12 in the Associated Press Top 25 and moved up to No. 9 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

“It’s one of the craziest games I’ll ever be a part of, but it certainly worked out,” said Ridley, who finished with 123 yards to record his third 100-yard game of the season.

“It was a roller coaster of emotions.”

With LSU down 14-10 at the Tennessee 2-yard line with no timeouts and 32 seconds left on the clock, junior quarterback Jordan Jefferson was stopped for a 1-yard yard gain on a quarterback keeper.

Then chaos ensued.

LSU took 22 valuable seconds to look clueless trying to run a play while the clock ticked down, reminiscent of the Ole Miss debacle last year.

“I’m thinking about Ole Miss, like please Lord, don’t let this be another Ole Miss,” said senior wide receiver Terrence Toliver of the last

INTERNATIONAL At least 8 killed, 18 wounded in fighting in Somalia’s capital city MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A medical official says at least eight people have died in fighting in Somalia’s capital.

Ali Muse, the head of the city’s ambulance service, said at least another 18 people were wounded.

The fighting took place Sunday between pro-government forces and Islamist militants.

Somalia has seen a spike in fighting over the last month. Militants led by the al-Qaida-aligned group al-Shabab are trying to overrun the country’s weak, U.N.backed government.

Somalia hasn’t had a functioning government in almost 20 years.

Halik Rudianto was driving a first-class train as it crashed early Saturday into an economy-class train stopped at a station in Petarukan, a coastal city in Central Java province, knocking several carriages off the track.

Transportation Minister Freddy Numberi said the engineer had failed to stop at a red signal,” Kompas newspaper reported. “The accident was caused by the engineer’s negligence,” it quoted Numberi as saying.

If found guilty of negligence leading to deaths, the engineer could face up to 6 1/2 years in jail.

The pre-dawn accident occurred as many passengers were sleeping. Both villagers and railway officials used their bare hands to search the mangled wreckage for survivors until equipment arrived.

LSU AgCenter chancellor invited to interview for ASU presidency

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say an 81-yearold man has been arrested on suspicion of murder for allegedly beating to death his 94-year-old roommate at an Orange County nursing home.

Sheriffs spokesman Jim Amormino says William McDougall allegedly took a bar used to hang clothes from a closet to repeatedly strike his roommate, Manh Ban Nguyen, late Friday.

Amormino says detectives are still investigating a possible motive for the assault, which occurred at Palm Terrace Healthcare Center, a 99-bed residential facility in Laguna Hills.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Nguyen, who was found beaten around the head, was pronounced dead at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center on Friday.

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas State University officials have been criticized for collecting and shredding notes that were taken during a recent meeting of the committee that’s looking for a new president.

As the dispute unfolded, officials disclosed that LSU AgCenter Chancellor William B. Richardson Jr. and Richard Federinko, the senior vice chancellor for student services and administration at Troy University in Alabama, had been invited to interview for the Arkansas State presidency.

Tom Meredith, who was hired to lead the presidential search, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Friday that it’s standard practice to destroy notes during such meetings to keep them from being made public.

PHILANTHROPY

Tri-Delta held blood drive Friday Kayla DuBos Contributing Writer

Students and alumni gathered Friday at the Delta Delta Delta sorority house to pay tribute to former University student Amanda Judice by supporting students with life-threatening diseases.

Judice was a sophomore at the University before losing a long fight with aplastic anemia Feb. 9. Friday’s blood and bone marrow drive, called “Give HOPE. Give LOVE. Give LIFE.,” was held in memory of Judice and also honored and supported two other University students dealing with diseases.

Allison Steritt, a member of Tri-Delta, is battling lymphoma, and Hayes Berthelot, member of Sigma Nu fraternity, has leukemia.

The event also benefited Anna James Bourgeois, Preston Heath and Jessica Melchor, three Baton Rouge St. Jude’s patients, according to the “Give HOPE. Give LOVE. Give LIFE.” website.

Tri-Delta holds blood drives every year. The sorority decided to tag on a bone marrow registry to this fall’s blood drive, said Kathleen Hoffman, kinesiology senior and Tri-Delta member.

The event drew 500 people to join the bone marrow registry and collected about 60 units of blood, Hoffman said.

“Since this isn’t our [official] philanthropy, we didn’t have a budget,” Hoffman said. “We received almost $600 in donations from our alums, mother’s club, different parents and businesses in the community.”

Judice was diagnosed in January 2009. She went through two cycles of anti-thymocyte globulin treatment, or ATG, which is a type of chemotherapy. She received blood transfusions weekly, which amounted to almost 200 transfusions overall, said Katherine Judice, Amanda’s sister and 2006 University alumna.

“It was so unreal to know how severe it can be,” Katherine Judice said. “You never imagine it happening to someone so close to you.”

The loss of Amanda has been hard on everyone and is still fresh

in people’s minds, said Ashton Despot, graphic design senior and Tri-Delta member.

“Even though it’s still hard for all of us, it’s our senior year, and we really wanted to do this,” Despot said.

Despot said Amanda Judice was the type of person who “left an amazing impression on people she met.”

“You could’ve met her once, and you would want to help make this event happen for her,” Despot said.

Berthelot was a freshman at the University when he was diagnosed with two types of leukemia, said Michelle Whitney, kinesiology sophomore and close family friend.

“Hayes was diagnosed with [acute lymphoid leukemia] and

[acute myeloid leukemia],” Whitney said.

Only 5 percent of cancer cases are diagnosed as leukemia, and only 4 percent of that 5 percent have both types, Whitney said.

Berthelot received a bone marrow transplant early last week and will soon know if it was successful, she said.

Berthelot’s white blood cell count has been rising since Friday, Whitney said.

Berthelot has told many of his friends he cannot wait to return to school, Whitney added.

Sigma Nu, as well as several other sororities, had a huge hand in putting on this event, Despot said.

OIL SPILL

Professor: Well blowout’s effects to last, will impact University Overton says oil spill saga not over

Nicholas Persac Contributing Writer

BP’s April 20 well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico will have numerous lasting effects on Louisiana’s environment and economy, even impacting the University, according to a nationally recognized University researcher.

“If you get a bunch of different people in a room to figure out what’s happening out there, you’ll get a bunch of different perspectives,” said Edward Overton, professor emeritus in the Department of Environmental Sciences. “The spill is over, but the saga of the spill is not.

We’re going to be dealing with the Deepwater Horizon incident many years to come.”

Overton ‘When presented “The of revenues Chemistry Oil Spills” on coming into Friday durthe state ing the School the Coast are less, of and Environrevenues ment’s weekly coming to fall seminar . OverLSU ... will series ton discussed be less.’ problems made during the reEdward Overton sponse and professor emeritus posed by the disaster as well as possible solutions.

Overton said the federal

moratorium on deepwater oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico should be lifted because it will continue to negatively affect the state and the University.

“What that means is next year the revenues coming into the state will be less, and when revenues coming in to the state are less, revenues coming to LSU ... will be less,” Overton said.

Overton said there is not a “black river of oil at the bottom of the ocean” even though only about one-third of the oil from the blown-out well reached the surface, while the remaining two-thirds was dispersed either chemically or naturally at depth.

Quantifying the amount of oil in the environment is difficult, Overton said, because “it spreads around the environment unevenly in patches.”

Though more than 10,000 miles along the Gulf were in harm’s way, the oil only impacted about 600 miles of shore. Just more than 100 miles of shore still have “moderate to heavy oil impacts,” while another 480 miles

Miles toying with clock, Miles swaps Jefferson and living life on Lee against Tennessee the edge Volunteers

Ryan Ginn

Sports Contributor

LSU junior quarterback Jordan Jefferson burst through the hole, left Tennessee sophomore defensive back Prentiss Waggner grasping at air and began an 83-yard touchdown run that came so easily it looked like he was sprinting down an incline.

But for Jefferson, it was all downhill from there.

Minutes after hearing a volatile student section chant his name despite booing in pregame introductions, Jefferson returned to the field and threw an interception on a badly-timed throw. He finished with 30 yards on just 3-of-10 passing, the fourth straight game he failed to break 100 passing yards.

Enter junior Jarrett Lee, Jefferson’s counterpart at quarterback whose career has thus far given credence to the saying “truth is stranger than fiction.”

Lee, disparaged for 16 interceptions thrown in 2008, has received increasing support from fans for yet another chance at the starting job.

LSU coach Les Miles said he decided before the game to rotate the two signal callers beginning with the third possession. “[Lee] was telling me that he was fired up,” said senior wide receiver Terrence Toliver. “My locker is right next to him, and he was telling me he was fired up and ready

to go, and I believed in him.”

Tennessee junior quarterback Matt Simms effectively ended LSU’s game of musical quarterbacks with his 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that gave Tennessee a 14-10 lead.

Needing a touchdown to win, Miles turned to Lee to win the game, leaving Jefferson to watch on the sideline.

“We just felt we were going to throw the ball down the field and felt some of those plays benefited [Lee] greater,” Miles said.

Lee looked like he proved Miles correct when he completed a 47-yard pass to sophomore wide receiver Rueben Randle, giving LSU a firstand-goal.

What followed typified the LSU offense in 2010. After using a timeout to avoid a delay of game penalty, Lee’s fade pass in the end zone to junior running back Stevan Ridley was intercepted, ending the threat.

Bailed out by a fourth down stop by senior linebacker Kelvin Sheppard, Lee was again sent out to try to win the game.

Win it he did.

Lee found Toliver for a gain of 21 yards to convert a fourth-and-14 and led LSU to the 2-yard line before being replaced by Jefferson.

Jefferson, however, nearly lost the game by letting the clock run QUARTERBACKS, see page 7

Les Miles must be a thrill-seeking junkie.

It’s the only explanation for his complete and utter disregard for the clock late in football games.

For the second time in less than a year, Miles threw caution to the wind and watched the clock trickle down to nothing while his offense and his quarterback looked on in confused disbelief.

When LSU had first-and-goal at the Tennessee 2-yard line with 36 seconds remaining, it seemed like a given. You call four plays and say, “Just line up and run them until you cross the goal line or run out of downs.”

Just make sure you don’t run out of time.

And at first, that seemed to be the plan.

Junior quar- ROB LANDRY terback Jarrett Lee Sports Contributor ran a play action pass on first down. When his target fell, he chunked the ball into oblivion.

So far, so good. There were 32 seconds left, and LSU had secondand-goal from the 2-yard line. It looked like maybe Miles no longer needed a thrill to survive.

But Miles needed a fix. He needed a thrill to quell the tweaking from within.

He ran junior Jordan Jefferson on a quarterback keeper that gained nothing and kept the clock running.

With precious time slipping away, he stalled, knowing he had the entire situation under control.

Saints narrowly defeat Panthers 46-year-old Carney makes 3 field goals Bret Martel The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — John Carney could not have asked for a better start to his 23rd season as an NFL kicker.

Days after rejoining the Saints at age 46, Carney hit three field goals to help New Orleans edge the Carolina Panthers 16-14 on Sunday.

The Saints signed Carney last

Tuesday, two days after Garrett Hartley missed a 29-yard field goal in overtime in a 27-24 loss to Atlanta.

While the Saints were able to manage only one touchdown on a screen pass to Lance Moore, Carney hit twice from 32 yards and again from 25 with 3:55 to go to put New Orleans (3-1) ahead to stay.

Drew Brees was 33 of 48 for 275 yards passing and the touchdown to Moore.

Carolina rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen completed 11 of 20 passes for 146 yards, highlighted by his 55-yard scoring strike to Jonathan Stewart. DeAngelo Williams’

39-yard TD run gave Carolina (0-4) a 14-10 lead in the third quarter before Carney made his last two field goals.

Clausen came close to pulling off the game-winning drive. He converted a fourth-and-4 play on a rollout pass to David Gettis along the sideline at the New Orleans 38-yardline with 1:46 to go.

A few more yards could have put Carolina in field goal range to win it, but after Williams gained 2 yards on the next play, he was dropped by Usama Young for a 4-yard loss on SAINTS, see page 7

LSU sweeps Gamecocks, splits weekend Tigers lose first match to Florida Rob Landry Sports Contributor

For the first time this season, the No. 16 LSU volleyball team had to bounce back from a loss.

The response was overwhelmingly positive.

The Tigers (14-1, 5-1) swept South Carolina (3-13, 0-6) Sunday in Columbia, S.C., and were barely challenged in the three-set victory, winning 25-14, 25-19 and 25-19, respectively.

down to three seconds and mishandling the shotgun snap. Tennessee’s “Lucky 13” defensive formation earned him another shot, and Ridley broke through for the winning touchdown.

But when it came time to give credit at the postgame news conference, Miles was singular in his praise.

However, Miles stopped short of naming a starter against the Florida Gators next week.

fling personnel substitutions, the Tigers were ready to snap the ball. The snap sailed over Jefferson’s head, and the clock expired. Tennessee charged the field, celebrating like a guest on “Maury” who had just been informed he’s not the father.

But Les stayed calm, mainlining his thrill. He knew this one was still in the bag.

And when the yellow hankie from heaven granted Les’ boys one final play, he let junior running back Stevan Ridley punch it in to give the Tigers the win.

When interviewed after the game, Miles slyly told CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson the game was “just another day” in the Southeastern Conference.

For those who follow LSU football, it was.

the play after that.

Malcolm Jenkins then sacked Clausen, setting up a fourth-down play from the New Orleans 44 in the final seconds.

Clausen’s pass for Dwyane Jarrett was broken up by Jabari Greer with 8 seconds to go, allowing the Saints to avoid what would have been a major upset by a winless team that came in as a 13-point underdog.

The victory also kept the Saints even with Atlanta atop the NFC South.

Playing without running back Pierre Thomas, who hurt his left ankle in the loss to Atlanta, the Saints relied on rookie Chris Ivory and veteran Ladell Betts, who was signed less than two weeks ago after Reggie Bush fractured a bone in his lower

“It’s something that at this point, I’m not ready to say,” Miles said. “I think there’s an advantage to having a quarterback that takes all the snaps.

You have to use the talents you have available to you — that’s the issue.”

Toliver said he felt using both quarterbacks worked to LSU’s advantage in the game.

“Tennessee ... they didn’t game plan for two quarterbacks tonight,” he said. “I thought [playing both quarterbacks] kind of worked out in our favor.”

Ridley was also hesitant when asked if he’d rather play with one quarterback.

“Look at Jordan. The first play of the game, he goes in and breaks

an 83-yard run. At the same time, Jarrett Lee gets in a game, and he’ll pick a defense apart completely,” he said. “We’ve got both styles of quarterback. A lot of people say a twoquarterback system wouldn’t work, but I’m anxious to try it.”

In postgame interviews, Lee clung to one refrain when answering questions about sharing the field.

“We trust in what the coaches are doing, and we just go in there when our number is called,” he said.

For the second time in five games this season, the outcome of a game came down to the final play from scimmage.

And don’t forget last season’s “Mississippi Mishap” when the Tigers mismanaged the clock and ran out of time before trying for a potential game winning field goal or final throw into the end zone.

But Saturday was a thrill ride of its own.

LSU came into the game as the superior team and a huge favorite.

The Tigers scored on the first play from scrimmage and appeared to be on their way to a dominating victory.

Tennessee was a week off an overtime win at home against Alabama-Birmingham and had shown few signs of improvement since the beginning of the season.

Despite the Tigers’ continued offensive struggles, they were in a

more than fortuitous situation to win.

They nearly let it slip away because of poor communication and a seeming lack of game planning.

Nonetheless, the Tigers escaped Saturday afternoon with a win. They currently sit at 5-0 and are ranked in the top 10.

But there are a few bigger questions that still weigh heavily upon my mind.

Is Les Miles just a thrill-seeking junkie? Is there a method to his madness? Does he do this to fans on purpose?

I wish I had an answer for these questions. But much like Saturday afternoon in the stands, I’m speechless, confused and stunned all at the same time.

right leg.

Ivory finished with 67 yards on 12 carries, while Betts rushed 13 times for 47 yards. Betts also had four catches for 23 yards. Devery Henderson had 59 yards receiving on six catches, while Jeremy Shockey had 58 yards, also on six catches.

Williams finished with 86 yards rushing for Carolina, which amassed 118 yards rushing.

The Saints might have made it a rout in the first half, when they outgained the Panthers 235 yards to 108, but two turnovers cost them.

One promising New Orleans drive stalled when Moore fumbled on a hit by Sherrod Martin at the Carolina 1 and Martin recovered in the end zone.

Another drive ended when Ivory fumbled on a hit by Richard

Marshall, who also recovered on the Carolina 21.

Late in the second quarter, the Saints had to settle for Carney’s first field goal. Hartley, who remains on the roster but was scratched for this game, watched from the sideline as Carney hit from 32 yards.

The Saints were struggling to move the ball in the third quarter, but long-snapper Jason Kyle made a big hit on punt coverage to force a fumble by Captain Munnerlyn, which Courtney Roby recovered.

That set up Carney’s second field goal to make it 14-13 late in the third quarter.

FAILURE OF DIPLOMACY

‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ a threat to equality, national defense

U.S. District Court Judge Virginia A. Phillips of California ruled Sept. 9 the military’s policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was unconstitutional. She ruled restricting homosexuals from serving openly violated both the First and Fifth Amendments.

While it’s encouraging to hear such a ruling, the fight is far from over for some of our men and women of the military who are forced to conceal part of what makes them who they are.

Although Phillips may have ruled this way, it didn’t have much of an effect.

The Obama administration, which has been pushing for the repeal of this law for some time, claimed Phillips would be overstepping her bounds were she to halt the policy, which is still being debated

by Congress. Instead of possibly striking the finishing blow to this vile law, we must sit through our politicians bickering along party lines.

Never was this as evident as on Sept. 20, when the Senate failed to get the numbers needed to go through with repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” with a vote of 56-43.

Not a single one of those 56 were Republicans.

Zachary Davis That vote Columnist should not only be taken as a blow to those service members it directly affects, but to our nation as a whole. By continuing the process of kicking out members of the military based only on their sexuality, we will continue to lose valuable assets in national defense.

On top of the personal problems it inflicts, there is no reason for us to continue this horrible policy.

Since its creation in 1993, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has resulted in the discharge of more than 13,000

military personnel. In what way does losing this many people, including translators and other specialists in critical operations, make our country’s security stronger?

On top of this, there is also a price tag attached to this policy. The cost of recruiting and training personnel to replace those discharged has cost the country $5.55 million from 1993 until 2008, according to the Palm Center. Losing money while losing troops — sounds like a great deal, doesn’t it?

Despite what Republicans might argue about it being a moral issue, if we look at most of the world, we can see this is nothing more than an excuse for their bigotry. We are easily in the minority when it comes to letting homosexuals serve openly in the military, yet we continue to cry out about how free we are.

Compared to the at least 25 countries who allow open service, however, this policy smears our claims of equality.

In a study done by the Government Accountability Office in 1993 on four of these countries, the inclusion of homosexuals was found to have not created any problems whatsoever.

Only three other countries in NATO ban openly homosexual citizens from serving in the military.

China is the only other country permanently on the United Nations Security Council to do so.

Unlike most of the world, there seems to be a significant percentage of the population which cannot put aside their (misguided) beliefs about other people’s lifestyles to allow our country to properly defend itself.

They do so even when the Pentagon, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen and more than 100 retired generals and admirals agree with the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Yet, shocking enough as it is, these are also the same people who are so pro-national defense.

The concern for unit cohesion many of these people say they have is not a concern backed by scientific studies. Along with the previously mentioned Palm Center study, we also have Gen. David Petraeus, who claims a person’s sexuality really isn’t important in combat situations.

In the end, all that matters is we continue to maintain the safety of our soldiers and our country, while still remaining true to what we stand for. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” fails in both regards, and it is for this reason our senators must repeal it and forget about the political posturing.

CAMPUS-RESIDENT ALIEN

LSU orchestra should change name to get recognition The LSU Symphony Orchestra performed its second concert of the school year Friday at the recently renovated and reopened Student Union Theater.

It made a lot of sense that the shiny new theater was re-inaugurated by the LSU Symphony, composed of University students. After all, the renovation was made possible through a budget composed of student fees.

The performance of that first concert of the season certainly justified the waiting — and the need — for a better, safer theater. The new facility is gorgeous and has wonderful acoustics to boot. That’s all an orchestra wants, especially one that has been playing in tight-spaced stages for the last couple of years.

Maestro Carlos Riazuelo celebrated his first anniversary as the LSU Symphony Orchestra’s director and associate professor of conducting at LSU. He conducted, among other pieces, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, lifting the audience members form their seats and reminding them that a bunch of college students are indeed capable of marvelous things.

It was worthy of a standing ovation, no doubt.

Unfortunately, there’s something missing for the LSU Symphony. It’s hard for this major ensemble to get the attention and recognition

the Tiger Band or the Wind Ensemble have, for example.

I can understand why, though.

The LSU Symphony has no connection with the Athletic Department or any relationship with sports in the University. Not that it doesn’t want to — it just doesn’t.

Marcelo Vieira I’m sure if Columnist the orchestra’s name were “Tiger Orchestra” or something similar, the recognition would be instantaneous. The LSU Symphony could surely play in a major sport event, eventually.

But that’s not the point.

Because of some great mystery of the LSU academic universe, it is hard for the LSU Symphony to get the publicity that would fairly reflect the grandiose mastery of the last several concerts.

The LSU Symphony, like LSU’s sports teams, also represents the soul of the University — but in a different aspect, of course.

It does this by perfectly exemplifying what Chancellor Michael Martin means when he uses phrases like “standards of excellence” for the purple and gold academic environment.

The Daily Reveille Editorial Board Sarah Lawson Robert Stewart Stephanie Giglio Steven Powell Andrew Robertson

Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor, Content Managing Editor, Production Managing Editor, External Media Opinion Editor

The LSU Symphony provides an enticing portrayal of the diversity of the University’s student community.

Its strength resides in the fact that many of the Symphony members come from countries where, even at the peak of universities’ budgets, the structure and support for studying music is laughable (or even “cryable”), even without budget cuts.

So, considering these points, why it is so difficult to make the LSU

Symphony noticed outside the island called the School of Music?

Many students in the School of Music wouldn’t miss a good day of tailgating and cheering for the Tigers in Death Valley — even knowing the day after they will have an orchestral piece to practice.

Don’t let them down.

You have plenty of opportunities to be reminded of how great the Tiger Band is. But the LSU Symphony’s concerts, full of

greatness and beauty, lack the people that matter most to its musicians — you, the students.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Setting record straight on ‘foreign language 14’ This letter is in response to the article, “Fired ‘foreign language 14’ confront Chancellor Martin,” published Oct. 1.

Since Aug. 27, we have been trying to understand how firing a quarter of the foreign language faculty in the middle of the academic year is a constructive way of enforcing budget cuts. This move affects hundreds of students who may not be able to take courses they need to graduate or fulfill major requirements and sets the stage to devastate the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, the International Studies Program, the recently reinstated Comparative Literature degree and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. It is not only for our own sakes that the foreign language 14 have been asking the many questions that continue to go unanswered.

Not satisfied with the answers received at the Budget Forum on Sept. 28, we finally met with Chan-

cellor Michael Martin face to face on Sept. 30.

Our agenda was centered around four questions: 1) What individual or committee authorized the cuts to foreign languages?

2) What authority does that individual or committee have to make changes to the curriculum?

3) Is it not reasonable to request an extension like that received by every other instructor on campus to finish the academic year with a sense of purpose and closure?

4) How many vacant lines (i.e. funds reserved for hiring needed academic staff) are being held in the budget which might possibly be tapped to come up with the $270,000 needed to pay these 14 instructors through the spring semester?

The answer to question one is the academic equivalent of a firing squad. Martin cites the Legislature for lack of funding, the Right Sizing Advisory Committee for the recommendation, and Gaines Foster, interim dean of the College of Humanities and Scoial Sciences, who “made the difficult decisions.” Foster insists that he was just following the Chancellor’s order (with the help of a team of lawyers).

In other words, we still don’t know which individual or committee authorized the cuts to foreign languages, and all of the above can rest easy in the knowledge that they may not have fired the fatal shot.

Question two should be answered in the coming week when a resolution drafted by the American Association of University Professors (not by the foreign language F14 as stated in the article) may be considered by the Faculty Senate today.

“We live in hard times” and “the money simply isn’t there” are the Chancellor’s answers to question three. In other words, it is unreasonable to expect an extension of our contracts a mere 16 weeks.

In answer to question four, Eric Monday, vice chancellor for finance and administrative services, said unused funds reserved for hiring academic faculty are usually returned to the college in which the faculty member was employed and are used to “hire instructors,” and pay for operating costs like telephones and other incidentals. We requested a printout of the vacant faculty lines, and Monday said he would supply them. As of Friday at 5 p.m. these documents were not available.

The conversation then took a

turn which was not reported at all in The Daily Reveille and which is the crux of the foreign language 14’s protestations. Martin, Provost Jack Hamilton and Foster all have stated the University should be teaching more foreign languages, they contradict these public statements by cutting all languages for which some committee or other has found “insufficient demand.” As Chancellor of this University, Martin should understand this simple truth: If you offer only the languages that can be found at every middle school, high school, community college and university in the state, students end up with a cheapened education; but if you offer languages that will draw people to the University ­— especially critical and classical languages — the students will take the courses offered and will end up with something much more precious.

As soon as the cuts were announced in May, letters flooded in from across the country in defense of foreign languages, all which seem to have gone unheeded by the administration. That it has come to the point where languages and literatures, the basis of all humanities, are the first disciplines on the chopping block is a sad commentary on the state of

page 9 education in Louisiana and sends a dangerous message to other universities around the country.

The administration has let us down, and without the backing of the students and the rest of the faculty, the foreign language 14 are just yappy little dogs who have indeed “barked up the highest academic tree possible.”

We express our sincerest thanks to the members of the AAUP for addressing our cause through the Faculty Senate. We urge the faculty to attend the Faculty Senate Meeting today at 3 p.m. in the Faculty Senate Chamber of the Student Union and to support the resolution, “No Confidence in the Budget-Cutting Process; Reclaiming Faculty Authority over the Curriculum; and Recommending an Across-the-Board Furlough over Layoffs.”

VIEW FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL

Stand up to homophobes, bigots in order to save lives Sean Curtis The Daily Targum

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — The news of the death of an innocent young man this week swept the Rutgers university campus. Many are furious, many are heartbroken, most of us are ashamed.

University first-year student Tyler Clementi’s suicide is a stark reminder of how far we as a University still have to go until we can call ourselves a school of diversity and acceptance. The rest of the nation now sees that as well. But to me, the most disturbing aspect of this story is not the fact that someone would be despicable enough to invade a roommate’s privacy.

No, the most horrifying part is the fact Tyler felt ashamed enough of his sexuality to kill himself because others had discovered it and made it public. As much blame as we may want to put on School of Arts and Sciences first-year student Dharun Ravi for breaching another man’s privacy or the university for failing to set up “safe spaces,” the blame lies completely with us ­— each and every student and faculty member here at Rutgers ­— for failing to create an environment where Clementi would have felt safe, secure and comfortable with himself.

Had this been an incident where a heterosexual couple was spied on, there would have been no suicide.

High-fives would be passed around between pigs, and the girl would be just another one of those poor victims of sick voyeurism that float all over the Internet. But because Tyler was a homosexual, the inci-

dent was deadly. I have no doubts whatsoever Tyler was surrounded with anti-gay sentiments every day, as we all are. We still hear the words “queer” and “faggot” pass between people on a daily basis, whether it is jokingly or truly malicious, and it is the usage of words like these that continue the delusion that there is something wrong with homosexuality — so much so that many homosexuals themselves feel there is something wrong with it, as Tyler probably did when he took his own life.

The truth is plain and simple: There is nothing wrong with homosexuality. It is not a defect, it is not a sin, it is not a disease. To preach otherwise is the true sin, and homophobia is the real disease. If we are to prevent tragedies such as this from ever occurring again, we must find the cure quickly. The sooner we destroy the bigotry and taboos that surround homosexuality, the sooner we can start saving lives and start calling ourselves a diverse and accepting school. I urge every student at the university to make a stand against homophobia. Speak up against bigotry and hatred, stop the usage of hurtful words and embrace those who are different. You just might learn something.

I applaud the efforts of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community and Robert O’Brien, Department of Anthropology assistant instructor, for seeking a change at the university.

But we must remember we cannot look solely to the administration or any other leading political body to rid our communities of hatred and

disrespect. Doing so only takes responsibility away from the individuals who sit idly and allow such tragedies to occur. No matter what kind of programs, policies or “safe spaces” our University establishes, the gay community, as well as other minorities, will continue to be harassed and discriminated against if we do not urge individual students to change. We must convince them to make the right choice, and that is to accept gays for who they are.

And to the people who still stand by Ravi and claim he’s a “good guy” — shame on you. Not only did he Tweet about how he spied on his roommate making out with another man — only highlighting his obvious immaturity and lack

of acceptance — but days later he invited anyone with an iChat to video chat him at specific hours so they could spy on the private life of his roommate once again.

This public invitation happened a day before Clementi’s suicide. A “good guy” would have realized the indecency of his actions and the breach of privacy he was committing. Whether a homophobe or not, his crimes must not go unpunished. Ravi’s actions destroyed a life and robbed a family of a loved one. Those who support him are an embarrassment to our university.

Finally, I ask all gay individuals who may read this to remember that you are not alone. You are beautiful, you are loved. Be proud

of who you are, and never hide it.

To everyone else, my request is simple: I ask for a country where our gay relatives and friends can be safe, where people like Clementi won’t feel ashamed of who they are, and where we can finally become a society that has outgrown hatred and bigotry. May the building of such a nation begin here with us at the University, and may we always keep Clementi and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

the field.

As Tennessee players rejoiced and LSU players laid on the turf in disgust and disbelief, the officials in the booth reviewed the last play and announced Tennessee had 13 men on the field, paving the way for Ridley’s game-winning score.

“When the win is stripped from you, or it feels like it was stripped from us, it is worse than losing — 10 times worse,” said Tennessee senior linebacker LaMarcus Thompson.

Ridley may have been the one to actually win the game, but it was Hebert who was the unsung hero.

Hebert saw time was running down and knew he needed to snap the ball no matter what.

“He was the guy that basically won the ball game for us,” said LSU senior linebacker Kelvin Sheppard.

The confusion at the end was created when LSU tried to sub out of a goal line formation with about 20 seconds left. Instead of spiking the ball to ensure at least one more play, Miles rushed three receivers onto the field for the final play. By the time Jefferson was set, the snap from Hebert was already past him.

“We did not need to change personnel,” Miles said. “We should have clocked it and/or had the other play ready to roll.”

Yet when Miles was asked why he didn’t spike it, he seemed to contradict himself.

“Frankly, I think the want to get the other personnel on the field took precedence in mind’s eyes certainly of the play call,” he said.

Even so, an emotional Miles was noticeably agitated during his

He reiterated his team can’t make mistakes like this in order to win and even said the team will hear his “raunchy side Monday morning.”

“I told my team today in [the locker room] that I call bullshit on this team,” Miles said. “This team has to play better than this.”

The Tigers held the Volunteers to 217 yards total offense, although 71 of those came on a three-minute touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter, capped by a 3-yard scoring run from Tennessee junior quarterback Matt Simms. The Tigers’ own offense did show drastic signs of improvement with 434 yards — despite four turnovers.

But it didn’t come without controversy. Two series after Jefferson galloped for an 83-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage, junior backup quarterback Jarrett Lee entered the game to a collection of cheers from fans.

The two rotated throughout the game, but it was Lee who led LSU on its game-winning drive after the LSU defense stymied Tennessee junior running back Tauren Poole on fourth-and-1 with 5:41 remaining.

Lee completed two huge passes to Toliver with LSU on its heels — a 14-yard pass on third-and-13 and a 20-yard hookup on fourth-and-14.

Lee threw for 185 yards and an interception while Jefferson struggled mightily, finishing 3-of-10 for 30 yards and two interceptions.

sliding down the mounds seven times a year will make a difference,” Poche said.

Gordon LeBlanc, who was also tailgating near the mounds, said the University should provide green space for children to play during game days if it continues to prohibit access to the mounds.

A University news release says the University is looking into alternative places for children to play during game days.

“They don’t seem to be in any worse shape architecturally,” said Baton Rouge resident Donovan Davis. “Kids having fun is more important.”

Molly Copeland, sports administration junior, said she understands the importance of preserving the mounds but blocking them off takes away from visitors’ experiences on campus.

“Unless they can prove it’s game day that’s causing the problem, they shouldn’t rope them off because people walk on them any other time,” Copeland said.

Sarah Dobard, biology senior, said it’s a good idea to block off the mounds to preserve history.

The University has launched a “Save the Mounds” campaign after early research on the mounds declared them endangered, according to the news release.

“I’m just glad they blocked them off,” said Baton Rouge resident Kelly Bergeron. “I think it’s important to preserve them.”
