LSU turns the Tide

Jefferson, LSU upend Alabama, 24-21, rise to No. 5 in BCS standings Rachel Whittaker Chief Sports Writer

LSU entered its game Saturday against rival Alabama as a well-recognized underdog.

But that didn’t matter to coach Les Miles and the Tigers.

LSU (8-1, 5-1) overcame familiar early offensive struggles behind junior quarterback Jordan Jefferson’s best performance of the season, including the team’s longest pass play this season, in a 24-21 victory against Alabama (7-2, 4-2).

The win vaulted LSU from No. 10 to No. 5 in the BCS standings.

“We took risks, and we’re still in this race,” Jefferson said. “Nobody is taking anything away from us now.”

Among those risks was a plethora of gutsy calls — from a thirdquarter fake punt that yielded 29 yards to a reverse on a fourth-and-1 and a two-point conversion following LSU’s go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The game will be remembered for a unique Miles tradition captured

by CBS cameras, in which he ate a chunk of Tiger Stadium turf — and later claimed Death Valley’s grass “tastes best.”

Now Miles has tasted victory against the Crimson Tide for the first

time since 2007, as LSU overcame a 7-3 halftime deficit for the win.

“I have a little tradition that humbles me as a man, lets me know I’m a part of the field, a part of the game,” Miles said. “The grass in Tiger Stadium tastes best. The gift my team gave me today was allowing me to coach them and playing with passion and great effort.”

LSU went into halftime with just 95 yards of total offense. The

second half was a different story. The Tigers erupted for 338 more yards in the frame with relatively balanced attack of 208 passing yards and 225 rushing yards.

One of the biggest plays of the day came when the offense took possession on its own 6-yard line with 8:57 left in the third quarter, as a long field stared Jefferson in the face.

Jefferson rose to the challenge and completed LSU’s longest pass

play of the season, a 75-yard touchdown to sophomore wide receiver Rueben Randle to cap a 94-yard drive that spanned just 40 seconds.

Jefferson said his confidence soared in the upset victory. He finished 10-of-13 for 141 yards with no interceptions and no sacks with his highest completion percentage (76.9 percent) and passer rating (193.42 yards) of the season.

“I felt like I was in high school

again, making big plays and making things happen on the field,” Jefferson said. “I had to make a statement tonight. ... It’s a relief for me.”

With his touchdown catch, Randle atoned for an earlier dropped pass from Jefferson as the first half wound down. Randle set a careerhigh with 125 yards on three receptions, including a 47-yard strike ALABAMA, see page 11

BOARD OF SUPS

Board approves $5.1 million midyear budget reduction Students speak out against decision Sydni Dunn Staff Writer

The LSU System Board of Supervisors approved the $21.2 million midyear reduction of its overall general fund appropriation Saturday despite pleas from University students at the emergency meeting.

The midyear cuts resulted from a shortfall in predicted state revenues. The University’s portion of the cut increased from $2.2 million to $5.1 million on Oct. 18 in an effort to save the Pennington Biomedical

Research Center and the LSU AgCenter, two non-teaching institutions of the LSU System.

“It became clear that the consequences of this distribution to the non-teaching units would be a significant reduction in the functions of all units in this group,” LSU System President John Lombardi said in an e-mail to System chancellors. “In the case of Ag and Pennington, it would require the dismissal of tenured and contract faculty and the reduction or elimination of many critical programs, as well as the loss of federal research grants.”

Twenty-three students, mostly members of Student Government, attended the meeting to express opinions about the impending cuts.

Fourteen were able to speak during the 30-minute public comment session.

Board of Supervisors member Garret “Hank” Danos motioned to extend the time by 15 minutes, but the motion was not approved.

“I am here as a student representative but also as a concerned student,” said SG Vice President Dani Borel. “I don’t feel that my money should be put into other entities.”

SG Sen. Emily Landry, E.J. Ourso College of Business, said she hopes to see the University remain one of the best in the state and in the nation.

“My tuition dollars should go to MIDYEAR CUT, see page 11

The state House and Senate retained the Democratic majorities that approved a civil unions bill this year before it was vetoed, and Democratic Gov.-elect Neil Abercrombie has said he will sign a similar law if passed.

The move would make Hawaii the sixth state to grant the same rights of marriage to gay couples without authorizing marriage itself.

Rapper Lil Wayne appears at NO Hornets game after NY release

Trial opens this week against five NOPD officers for burned body case

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Lil Wayne turned up courtside in a red baseball cap and long dreadlocks to watch the unbeaten New Orleans Hornets edge the Miami Heat 96-93 Friday night, a day after his release from a New York City jail.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was freed Thursday after serving eight months in a gun case. Asked how it felt to be back, Wayne told the The Times-Picayune: “Like I never left.”

Before his incarceration, the rapper recorded the recently released “I Am Not a Human Being,” a top debut on Billboard album charts.

The newspaper said the rapper flew earlier Friday to Yuma County, Ariz., to check in for a three-year stint of unsupervised probation for a drug conviction. The case will be transferred to Florida, where the New Orleans native now lives.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A trial opens this week for five current or former New Orleans police officers charged in the death of a man whose burned body turned up in Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath.

Jury selection is scheduled to start Monday for the trial, the first among several Justice Department probes of alleged misconduct by New Orleans police officers.

North Gate SG hands out budget cut signs on game day hold posters Merchants Students during third quarter host festival Family friendly event begins with fun run Frederick Holl Staff Writer

North Gate Fest closed down the entire block of West Chimes Street from Infirmary Road to Highland Road on Friday and invited everybody in.

The free event, in its sixth year, featured food for sale from local vendors Louie’s Cafe and Taco de Paco, a display of local art called “Stabbed in the Art” in front of clothing store Storyville and music from bands He Bleeds Fireman, Stage Coach Bandits and Twin Killers.

“The reason [North Gate Fest began] originally was just to have a fun, safe, outdoor event to highlight the character of the neighborhood,” said Clarke Cadzow, owner of Highland Coffees and member of the North Gate Merchants Association.

“We’ve put a lot of time in to make it right.”

The event kicked off with a “fun run” through campus, which was part of the North Gate Merchants Association’s plan to make the event enjoyable to all ages, Cadzow said.

“We’ve always wanted to have an event where young and older people can both enjoy it,” Cadzow said.

“The run brings a good crowd, and when the race ends, they’re at a great festival.”

As the night went on and bands began to play, the event became more oriented toward students and neighborhood residents, Cadzow said.

“They feel like it’s their festival and their neighborhood, and there’s a lot of truth to that,” Cadzow said.

“We want to see a lot of students come out to this because it’s the students’ community.”

Cadzow said the event does not generate much of a profit, and the Merchants are “lucky to break even.”

State Street landlord Jeremy Dellafiora said the neighborhood’s residents need to be more aware of the contributions of the North Gate Merchants Association, who also pay for the permits and police officers necessary to make the Carlotta Street Halloween block party happen.

“The merchants have really stepped up to the plate,” Dellafiora said. “They want to promote the community.”

and they held them up at the same time.”

SG Vice President Dani Borel said the signs’ message was carefully crafted not to hurt the University’s new student recruiting methods.

“We wanted a message that alluded to budget cuts without saying on television that our school is in crisis,” Borel said.

Borel also said the signs did not target Gov. Bobby Jindal because he met with SG officials this week.

“What we wanted to [say] was LSU needs money in general,” Borel said.

Borel said the idea to make the signs originated in an SG executive committee brainstorming session about how to bring attention to budget cut issues during a football game. She said the chalkboard design was picked for its simplicity and relevance to education.

Jasper converted on a fake field goal against Florida and a fake punt against McNeese State earlier this year.

Down 14-13 on Saturday, LSU football coach Les Miles called a timeout on fourthand-1 with 9:51 remaining at Alabama’s 26yard line. What happened next sent 92,969 fans into a frenzy.

Instead of lining up for a field goal, junior tight end Deangelo Peterson took a reverse from junior running back Stevan Ridley for 23 yards to the Alabama 3-yard line.

Peterson said the play was called “River Left,” and the Tigers (8-1, 5-1) practiced it all week in preparation for Alabama (7-2, 4-2). He lined up at a wing position on the right side of the line, motioned left, then

motioned back to his original position before the snap.

“When they called it on fourth-and-1, at first I was nervous,” Peterson said. “I was like, ‘What if I drop it?’ Once I got on the field, I felt comfortable with it, and I knew it was going to work.”

The play was one of two successful fourth-down fakes and one of nine plays resulting in a gain of at least 15 yards for the Tigers en route to a 24-21 victory.

NFL

Saints dominate Panthers, 34-3 Brees throws for 253 yards, two TDs Mike Cranston The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For one week at least, the New Orleans Saints lived up to the expectations of Super Bowl champions.

Playing the Carolina Panthers can make any team look like a winner.

Drew Brees threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, Jabari Greer returned an interception for a touchdown and the Saints became the

latest team to shut down Carolina’s NFL-worst offense in a 34-3 victory against the banged-up Panthers on Sunday.

The Saints (6-3) overcame the loss of tight end Jeremy Shockey to a rib injury after his touchdown catch to keep pace in the competitive NFC South. Rookie tight end Jimmy Graham caught his first NFL touchdown in Shockey’s absence, and the Saints held Carolina to 195 yards.

Things just keep getting worse for the Panthers (1-7). They lost quarterback Matt Moore and running back Jonathan Stewart to first-half injuries. Rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen was later benched, and the Panthers finished with 195 yards.

Brees overcame his 12th interception early to complete 27 of 43 passes. He was replaced by Chase Daniel after Ladell Betts’ 1-yard TD run made it 34-3 with 8:12 left. It ensured the Saints would enter their bye week with as many wins as any team in the NFC and remain a halfgame behind NFC South leader Atlanta.

New Orleans got a boost to its banged-up secondary with the return of Greer and Tracy Porter, enough to stymie the Panthers’ woeful passing attack and complete their first season sweep of Carolina since 2001.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Freshman guard Turner excels in Purple vs. Gold scrimmage Tigers open season Friday in PMAC

Rowan Kavner Sports Writer

Shoes squeaking on a wooden floor never sounded so sweet.

The LSU men’s basketball team played a game at the PMAC on Friday for the first time since March, as a 30-0 run propelled the Purple team past the Gold team, 61-35, in the Purple-Gold scrimmage.

“This is the last dress rehearsal,” said LSU coach Trent Johnson. “There were some good things. I think some guys, for the first time, got into some rhythm coming off this last weekend.”

The Purple team consisted of freshmen guards Andre Stringer and Ralston Turner, sophomore

guard Aaron Dotson, sophomore forward Eddie Ludwig and junior forwards Storm Warren and Malcolm White.

The Gold team comprised sophomore guard Daron Populist, freshman forwards Matt Derenbecker and Jalen Courtney, sophomore forward Dennis Harris, junior forward Garrett Green, junior center Justin Hamilton and redshirt sophomore center Andrew Del Piero.

Junior guard Chris Bass started on the Purple team and switched to the Gold team in the second half.

Bass played a combined 22 minutes and scored four points while Stringer scored six points in 27 minutes.

“We’ve got a chance to score the ball from about seven or eight guys,” Johnson said. “Chris and Andre did a great job in terms of running the team.”

The Gold team led, 24-14, in the first half before the stunning Purple run, culminating in a 3224 Purple lead at the half.

The Purple lead expanded to 44-24 in the second half before Derenbecker hit a free throw to end the run.

The first nine points of the game came from freshmen as Turner knocked down two 3-pointers and Derenbecker added another.

Turner finished with a teamleading 21 points, going 4 of 5 from 3-point range.

“Forget the talent level and the skill level,” Johnson said.

“He’s a great kid and he’s very coachable, and he has a great demeanor about him. He doesn’t get frustrated, and he doesn’t show a lot of facial expression during the game.”

The Purple team went 5 of 5 from 3-point range in the

LSU gets revenge on Ole Miss Strong defensive effort saves Tigers Mark Clements Sports Contributor

The LSU volleyball team got its chance at vengeance Sunday and took full advantage.

After being swept by Ole Miss (17-8, 11-5) earlier in the season, the No. 16 Tigers (22-2, 13-2) clawed back to take round two of the Southeastern Conference showdown.

The Tigers won in four sets (23-25, 25-15, 28-26, 25-21).

The Tigers fell in the first set and won a sloppy second set entering intermission.

LSU coach Fran Flory said the Tigers weren’t playing their game and credited Ole Miss for working them on every point.

“I thought we played in the beginning of the match not to lose rather than just attacking and playing to win and playing the way we play,” Flory said. “You have to credit Ole Miss because they are such a great defensive team, and they can frustrate the heck out of you offensively.”

The LSU offense faced a tough challenge against the Rebel defense, which leads the SEC with 16.14 digs per set.

The Tigers got a big performance from sophomore outside hitter Madie Jones, who racked up 18 kills on 42 swings for a .310 attack percentage.

“We’ve moved Madie, and we create a little more for her,” Flory said. “She’s getting some nice swings on the right side, and she’s able to get some seams.

She’s having better opportunities in system ... and I think that was a great performance by Madie.”

second half and shot 60 percent from long distance for the game.

Johnson said he was happy with the offensive output but is more worried about how the team is performing defensively.

“We have to make sure that when the ball is first thrown up, we are the first ones making an aggressive play,” he said. “In my terms, we have to hit before being hit.”

Dotson led both teams with five assists and added 12 points and two steals.

The game was halted by the coaches with more than nine minutes remaining after a monster dunk by White.

White finished with nine points and Warren finished with six, even though the two started a combined 0-for-7.

Johnson said he expects White to have growing pains after sitting out a season, and

Warren may have been favoring his Achilles’ tendon throughout the game.

“Malcolm, there’s a lot of rust there,” Johnson said. “There are a lot of balls that were bouncing around that he should have had, and we’ve got to get Storm healthy.”

Johnson, who coached the Purple team while assistant coach Donny Guerinoni coached the Gold team, said the Purple team’s starting five will not necessarily be the starting five in the season opener against Northwestern State Friday.

“It’s not an issue with this group,” Johnson said. “That’s what I like about it. They don’t care.”

“Any time you can throw a wrinkle in there and have a trick play, it kind of keeps them on their heels,” Ridley said. “We had one earlier and they sniffed it out, but I think that backed them up a little bit.”

Titanic gains came in bunches for the Tigers throughout the second half. Eight of LSU’s nine plays of 15 yards or more ‘This is a came after halfgame you time.The longest will never pass play of the forget. Who season came on 75-yard pass gives a afrom junior reverse quarterback JorJefferson to to a tight dan sophomore wide end?’ receiver Rueben Russell Shepard Randle in the quarter, LSU sophomore wide third one play after receiver Jefferson completed a 19-yard pass to senior wide receiver Terrence Toliver.

Randle said Jefferson, who completed 10 of 13 passes for 141 yards, was in the zone all game.

“I think he’s comfortable back there in the pocket,” Randle said.

“On the sidelines we were talking, and it felt like he had his swag back.”

Randle also caught a 47-yard pass on third down from junior quarterback Jarrett Lee with less than three minutes to go to seal the game for the Tigers.

Shepard recorded the Tigers’ longest run of the day on a 41-yard read play in the third quarter, and Ridley had runs of 18 yards and 19 yards in the fourth quarter.

“You’ve got to make big plays,” Shepard said. “Coach [Billy] Gonzales preaches it every day. We feel like if we can make five big plays over 20 yards, we have a 90 to 95 percent chance to win the game.”

Miles said the trick plays come from understanding an opponent and figuring out the best situations to use them.

“It’s not in my hat,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve done anything new that 50, 60 high school coaches in this state wouldn’t do. I think if you like football and you’ve got a feel for some stuff, you’ve got to let it ride.”

KICKS, from page 5

The gameplay was a mirror image of last season’s Southeastern Conference tournament final, in which LSU led for much of the match before ceding a late goal to the Gamecocks.

South Carolina (14-4-4, 8-2-1) opened the scoring on Friday with a 29th-minute goal from junior forward Kayla Grimsley. The Gamecocks controlled most of the game from that point forward, ultimately outshooting LSU 22-8. Tigers

season, and this year is looking just as bad.

Moore was 3 of 6 for 13 yards before leaving with an injured throwing shoulder after Sedrick Ellis sacked him in the second quarter.

Clausen was no better, and Greer returned his poor pass 24 yards to make it 27-3 late in the third quarter.

Embattled coach John Fox yanked Clausen early in the fourth quarter after he completed 8 of 18 passes for 47 yards. It allowed rookie Tony Pike to make his NFL debut.

The sixth-round pick from Cincinnati finished 6 of 12 for 47 yards.

By then, the Panthers were down to a skeleton crew and few of their home fans were left in the stands to watch it.

Stewart, starting with DeAngelo

sophomore forward Carlie Banks slotted home a pass from freshman forward Addie Eggleston with just 12 minutes remaining to send the match into overtime.

“Addie had a great finish to the season,” Lee said. “She probably made Carlie’s goal basically on her own. Obviously, we needed a goal at that point, and it was really a bigtime play.”

LSU benefited greatly from freshman goalkeeper Megan Kinneman’s play. Kinneman made a season-high 10 saves to keep LSU Williams (foot) missing his second straight game, left in the first quarter with a head injury after gaining 30 yards on five carries.

The Saints won a replay challenge on the play, giving them the ball when it was ruled Stewart fumbled. It set up Brees’ 7-yard touchdown pass to Shockey to give New Orleans the lead for good at 7-3.

But Shockey injured his ribs on what was his 500th career catch and didn’t return. He was spotted getting into an ambulance just before halftime.

The Saints didn’t need him, not with the Panthers failing to reach double digits in points for the fourth time in eight games.

page 7 in the match. She also broke junior goalkeeper Mo Isom’s single-season record for goals per game average.

“Megan was brilliant — again.

She’s got moxie. ... She is going to have an outstanding career,” Lee said.

However, the Tigers were unable to capitalize on their new life and in overtime had to settle for penalty kicks, despite their track record in shootouts.

LSU failed to lean on its forwards to take the penalty kicks. Just as two-time SEC Offensive Player

of the Year Malorie Rutledge chose not to take a penalty kick against South Carolina in 2009, Eggleston and Banks were not in the penalty kick lineup Friday. Instead, Isom and Kinneman buried two of the Tigers’ three shootout goals.

“Neither of [the forwards] are that confident taking [penalty kicks], and we just start with the kids who want to take them,” Lee said.

THE C-SECTION

Monday, Nov. 8, 2010

Scalping tickets may not be worth the risk Scalping tickets is nothing new for University students.

Many students sell their tickets simply because they can’t attend the games, and others are just looking to make a quick buck.

While making your money back on a ticket is nice if you can’t attend, making a profit on one University football ticket that is large enough to pay off the entire cost of season tickets — and still having money left over — seems like a pretty good deal. And this deal can come at the cost of only missing one game.

Many students send mass e-mails to large lecture classes, while others post their tickets to Craigslist or Facebook’s marketplace.

Some tickets are posted at more than $200 — equaling at least a $188 profit. Pretty nice, right? It is nice, but therein lies a problem.

Louisiana state law says it is “unlawful to sell tickets for more than the price; total cost of tickets to be printed on each,” which

means selling tickets for more than their worth is illegal.

Many students may like to claim ignorance to this law, even though each ticket says “the resale, or attempted resale, of LSU student tickets through means other than those speChris Grillot cifically provided by the Columnist LSU Ticket Office is expressly prohibited.”

While the ticket doesn’t state exactly what these appropriate means of resale are, it’s basically reiterating the state law — don’t sell the tickets for more than they are worth.

Because these appropriate means aren’t blatantly stated, many University students will attempt to scalp their tickets during big games unaware of the consequences. And the LSU Ticket Office will catch many who try and make extra cash on a big game.

If you get caught, the LSU Ticket Office sends an e-mail to you that says your remaining tickets for the season have been canceled and refunded.

On top of that, they revoke your privilege to attend any University sporting events. Then they send your information to the Dean of Students, where you’ll face more punishment.

The University also requires student violators to complete five to 20 hours of community service, attend an “ethical decision-making workshop” and write an essay, according to a 2009 article by The Daily Reveille.

While it’s possible the punishment may have changed this year, the consequences will probably be similar to the misuse of an LSU ID, which requires an essay and an “ethical decision-making workshop” as well.

The consequences don’t seem to fit the crime. I would guess most students wouldn’t consider scalping their ticket a crime, so there’s only one way to avoid

the problem.

Don’t scalp tickets. Also, don’t use loophole strategies by offering to sell a cheap item, like a pen, for $200 along with a “free” ticket.

The LSU Ticket Office obviously upholds its rules, and it does give students the privilege of purchasing football tickets for $12 a piece — a price far cheaper than buying season tickets elsewhere in Tiger Stadium.

For many people, getting a good deal on something means an opportunity to make a profit. But profiting on student tickets is illegal, and the money made on scalping doesn’t measure up to the time it’ll take to deal with the punishment and loss of season tickets.

So students, be forewarned.

Most of us don’t think we’ll get caught, or we think scalping is something law enforcement officials and the University turn their backs to. But they don’t. They enforce their laws, and they’re good at it.

We need to respect the

THE BOTTOM LINE

Illegal Alabama ticket sales form economic bubble, black market I’m sure you, like many University students, tried to sell your Alabama ticket this weekend with little luck.

Welcome to the wacky world of economic bubbles.

Bubbles are a tough thing in economic theory. First, a little background is in order.

Prices for things should reflect that thing’s actual value. So, if a house is only worth $100,000, people should be buying and selling it for around $100,000.

Sometimes, Devin Graham though, people Columnist get a little crazy and overestimate how much something is worth. In a group-driven frenzy, they start driving prices up — way up.

Afterward, for any number of reasons, everybody decides the product we thought was super cool is immediately worth next to nothing. Think Britney Spears.

Alabama student tickets have historically done the same thing.

I’d like to clarify this: Like all black markets, accurate information

about this is hard to get ahold of (obviously), so everything I write here is based on my own experiences, as well as those of the many people I’ve spoken with.

In the last couple years, LSUAlabama student ticket prices have been driven up to around $150-$200 dollars. This year, I watched prices go from that same historical price only a month ago to a staggering low just before the game. Greedy students looking to make a quick buck did for ticket sales what dogs did to Michael Vick’s career.

For example, I spoke with one girl who, after posting a listing on Craigslist for $1, told me she literally was about to just give the ticket away to a friend because she couldn’t sell it.

Why did this situation happen?

It’s really tough to tell how much illegal goods are worth because it’s tough to compare prices.

Imagine if you had no idea whatsoever what a TV was worth. You ask two friends what they paid for theirs.

One says $100, one says $1,000.

Dang.

Alabama tickets were like that.

Someone might sell a ticket for $15 to a friend, and 10 minutes later they sell that same ticket for $200

to someone else. Without a way to compare prices, the market is absolutely crippled to find a fair, steady price.

So, if demand for the game goes down, people will pay less for the tickets. People who have the tickets still think they can get an easy $200 for the ticket and, valuing the cash more than the game, decide to sell the ticket.

Whenever everybody decides to sell off their tickets, the market gets flooded with ticket offers, driving prices down even further.

To make things worse, anyone who was holding on to their ticket saw all the tickets being sold at low prices and, in a panic, sold their ticket too, fearing they would get stuck with a ticket they either couldn’t use or didn’t want to.

Remember, selling tickets above what you paid for them is illegal in Louisiana. We pay $12 per ticket, so if you can’t make it, you’re allowed under Louisiana law to sell the ticket for up to $12 or to give it away.

This isn’t just something that’s frowned upon anymore. The LSU Ticket Office is really cracking down on illegal ticket sales, even going so far as to browse our

Facebook posts for people trying to sell their tickets.

At its worst, you could get a fine ranging from $100 to a whopping $500, in addition to 30 to 90 days in jail, on top of any academic consequences, on the authority of Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 4 on Amusements and Sports.

The Bottom Line: LSU tickets are like any other good, complete with bubbles and collapses, even

to the point of forming small black markets, where it is easy and profitable to do so.

FAILURE OF DIPLOMACY

Opinion

page 9

Marijuana and prostitution should be legal, taxable in U.S. As the election results came in last Tuesday evening, it quickly became apparent that it would be a night of frustration.

It shouldn’t have come as too much of a surprise, however, and optimism for anything else was simply wishful thinking.

Beyond the failure of politicians, the fight for Proposition 19 (which would have legalized possession and growing of small amounts of marijuana in California) drew my hope the most.

Ultimately, it also became the biggest cause of my disappointment.

With a split of 53 percent against and 46 percent for, Proposition 19 failed, and marijuana unfortunately remained illegal.

Once again, the tactics of fear and distortion in smear campaigns worked, and common sense bowed before the will of special interests groups.

While I have no interest whatsoever in using the stuff

(legal disclaimer), this type of legislation might be the necessary stepping stone to start looking at similar laws in our country.

Proposition 19 could have started a wave of reconsideration for our federal laws on marijuana and even other “illicit” activities.

Beyond our questionable regulation of other possibly harmless drugs, the “illicit” activity that first comes to mind concerns one of mankind’s oldest professions: Prostitution.

While pot Zachary Davis Columnist and prostitutes may not have too much in common at first glance, the comparisons become clearer when one examines how their illegality affects society.

Just like marijuana usage (as well as many other currently illegal activities), the laws against

prostitution don’t stop it from occurring across the country.

Additionally, just like a person who buys pot illegally risks smoking harmful cutting agents, a person who frequents whore houses risks a myriad of STDs. In both cases, the government could regulate the activity, helping to combat the health risks accompanying them while also eliminating the criminal element involved.

Nevada, Holland and Germany are all examples of governments that have not only legalized marijuana but have also regulated it.

What hasn’t been taken advantage of (at least in Nevada) and is a reason many people give to support the legalization of marijuana is its potential for tax revenues.

In Nevada, for example, there was a push last year to put a $5 tax per prostitute visit on the state’s legal brothels.

This bill, pushed by Sen. Bob Coffin, D-Las Vegas, was estimated to bring in at least $2 million and upward of $4 million if it had passed.

That estimated amount only comes from the 28 active legal brothels in Nevada, and one can only imagine the revenue that could be brought in should it be more common — or if they raise the tax to $10.

In these economic times, shouldn’t we be taking advantage of this, as we should be with marijuana?

However, if this all goes down, strict human rights regulation would undoubtedly have to take place.

The last thing we need is to have women forced into prostitution against their will or joining the profession while underage.

All of this is just speculation for now with Proposition 19’s failure, and we can do nothing more than speculate whether

America will continue to let ridiculous taboos and morals control our laws.

Whether we like these activities or not, they do not hurt society.

They have and will continue to happen despite their legality ­­— just look at some of our politicians’ use of prostitutes.

What we need to do is capitalize on these activities, make them safer for everyone involved and remove the criminal element.

Until then, it looks like we’ll just keep helping those special interest groups like those who helped shoot down Proposition 19.

GUEST COLUMNIST

LSU Dining provides healthy options, gives students choices Dominic Truehart Special to The Daily Reveille

For many of us, staying in shape and looking good is hard work. Luckily, it is equally rewarding.

Our diet is one of the most important aspects of our health.

Go ahead ladies, run those laps around the lakes so you look good strutting across campus in Nike running shorts.

Guys, feel free to spend as much time pumping iron as you want, just so you can impress your “bros” in your two-sizestoo-small T-shirts.

To be truly healthy, though, eating a proper diet is necessary.

Growing up, we all heard talk of the freshman 15 and how our parents lived on ramen noodles and mac and cheese in their college days.

As someone who, regretfully, fell victim to the freshman 15, I have grown to understand the importance of a good diet firsthand.

Fortunately, the University provides us the opportunity to be healthy with what we eat.

However, it’s a little problematic when we don’t always make the right choices.

The stereotypical diet of the college student — beer and cold pizza — may sound great, but our bodies need more.

Here’s one hint — the missing ingredient is not MSG. The University’s meal plan offers students various numbers of meals to be used at campus cafeterias like The 459

Commons and The 5. Meals can also be traded for food from the many fast food options scattered across campus but only at certain times on certain days.

During my first couple years at the University, my meal plan was my main resource in acquiring sustenance.

Consequently, Highland Cafe and The 459 became staples in my everyday routine.

Combined with the generous vending-machine options, the various food options offered to LSU students is staggering.

Every day, students are given the opportunity to choose from almost any kind of food they desire.

Ranging from cereal and waffles, salads and soups, rotating entrees and pizza, our cafeterias have it all.

Such a wide array of succulent dishes at our fingertips begs the question: Why should we ever “settle” for something boring like a salad?

All too often, unfortunately, I’ve found myself along with my fellow ravenous students falling into a similar routine when dining in the cafeterias. Scout the area for a table, scour the buffet lines for something delicious, and if all else failed, grab a waffle and some pizza.

Like so many of my comrades, taste dictated what ended up on my plate with no regard for my body’s needs.

Surprise, surprise.

Luckily, we have age on our side. The average college male should take in between 2,500 and 2,800 calories a day, so don’t feel

too guilty if you have that extra slice of pizza or if you just can’t resist the LSU Dairy Store’s ice cream. But calories aren’t the only aspect of a good diet.

Our bodies require nutrients, ones that can’t be obtained from a steady diet of pizza and burgers.

Common vitamins like vitamin A, C, B6 and K — which aid in neurological and immune system function, vision and bone formation — are offered in daily vitamin supplements and are

crucial for keeping our bodies running correctly.

Vitamin supplements, however, are just what their name implies — supplements to our diet. We cannot create essential nutrients like vitamin A within our bodies, so it’s important we take in these nutrients through our diet.

I’m not saying we should avoid unhealthy treats like the plague. Rather, I’m simply suggesting University students take

advantage of everything LSU Dining has to offer.

Replace that third slice of pizza with something a little healthier, like a piece of fruit or some vegetables.

Your waist line — as well as your bathroom scale — will thank you.

Monday, Nov. 8, 2010 ALABAMA, from page 1

from junior quarterback Jarrett Lee on third-and-13 to help ice the game.

“I told [offensive coordinator Gary Crowton] I wanted another chance to make a play for the team, and he went back to me,” Randle said.

Fellow sophomore wide receiver Russell Shepard said Randle’s mistake with 21 seconds left in the first half visibly bothered him in the halftime locker room.

But Shepard said the team made adjustments and threw the whole playbook at Alabama in the second half to edge the Crimson Tide.

“We didn’t get that respect at all. Everybody thought we were going to lose,” Shepard said. “There were a lot of situations we put [Jefferson] in that a lot of other quarterbacks wouldn’t want to be put in, but he showed why he is one of our starting quarterbacks.”

LSU snapped Alabama’s 28game winning streak when leading at halftime under coach Nick Saban.

It was Saban’s second loss in 37 occasions with the Crimson Tide ahead at the half, both at the hands of his former team.

LSU won the turnover battle Saturday, garnering an interception and fumble recovery from senior quarterback Greg McElroy. LSU senior linebacker Kelvin Sheppard had a hand in both Alabama miscues, picking off his second career pass and securing the fumble that senior defensive tackle Drake Nevis forced.

Miles called the defensive effort “knock-down, drag-out football.”

LSU senior kicker Josh Jasper kicked field goals of 45 and 39 yards to capitalize on the turnovers, although he missed a 45-yard kick four plays after sprinting 29 yards on the Tigers’ fake punt on the opening drive of the second half.

“My team likes to get in tight quarters, and they play,” Miles said.

“It was a field goal kicker who came back after a disappointing miss. It’s a two-quarterback system where both contributed significantly … a wide receiver who dropped the ball and came back in and made big plays in key times.”

Alabama scored its first-half touchdown on a 1-yard pass from McElroy to sophomore running back Trent Richardson to cap an 81-yard

drive. It answered LSU’s 75-yard score with a 5-yard run by junior running back Mark Ingram to regain a 14-10 lead.

LSU took the lead for good when junior running back Stevan Ridley plunged into the end zone on a 1-yard touchdown run with 8:13 remaining, and Jefferson completed the two-point conversion pass to Randle to make the score 21-14.

Alabama found the end zone one more time on a 9-yard reception by junior wide receiver Julio Jones to culminate a 74-yard drive that took 2:04.

MIDYEAR CUT, from page 1

things that directly impact students — the academic core,” Landry said.

“Think about us, all of the students back here — invest in us and our future.”

In his plea to the Board, SG President J Hudson emphasized that the students in attendance were not tailgating for the Alabama game in order to fight for education.

“We’re going to have students paying for this,” Hudson said. “We need to make sure other higher education institutions aren’t absorbing the cuts Pennington and the AgCenter get.”

Lombardi said the overall distribution of the midyear cut was done in a “dramatically unequal fashion,” and LSU-BR received the worst hit.

“The Board first of all attempted to find another way through the

page 11 system,” Lombardi said. “After extensive discussion, there was no escape from the current structure of [the] budget.”

The Board approved the cuts with only one opposition vote.

Alvin Kimble, the lone opposing Board member, said he realized after listening to the students how many lives the cuts are affecting and questioned “penalizing” the universities to benefit the non-teaching institutions.

“I really wrestled with the thought of taking money away from the students,” Kimble said.

Board member Ronald Anderson argued that the idea of taking students’ tuition money away from the flagship was “ridiculous.”

“The idea that this Board is taking aim at [the] Baton Rouge campus for all cuts is not exactly true,” Anderson said. “I support what we do,

and I hate to see any cuts made, but we are responsible for the entire LSU System.”

Anderson said the University has the greatest amount of resources to spare. He said the cut was less damaging to the Baton Rouge campus than to other entities.

“We have to work with the hand dealt, and if we want to correct it, we need to go to the Legislature and governor and talk to those people about impending cuts,” Anderson said. “We haven’t seen anything yet, folks.”

Hudson said he was disappointed in the decision, which he called a “cop out.”

“They need to find a solution,” Hudson said. “Next year is only going to get worse.”
