Students following the ongoing budget cuts saga are used to administrators complaining of the serious damage cuts have done to the University. But in recent weeks, Gov. Bobby Jindal has challenged the depth and damage of those cuts. Neither group is lying — they’re just using different numbers from the same complex budget. University administrators have repeatedly warned that funding cuts to higher education have caused serious damage to the University’s ability to educate students. In a recent e-mail to alumni, Chancellor Michael Martin wrote “LSU has had $47 million cut from its budget. That’s an average of more than $2 million per month. And in the last several months LSU has been asked to prepare for cuts of 23 BUDGETS, see page 15

SESQUICENTENNIAL

University dedicates new time capsule Sarah Eddington Staff Writer

Whether it’s a ticket stub from a campus theater performance or a letter to a future student, members of the University community are leaving future generations with something to remember them by in the soon-to-be-sealed Sesquicentennial Time Capsule. To help kick off the beginning of Homecoming week, the Sesquicentennial Student Committee dedicated the time capsule Monday on the Parade Ground. The time capsule will serve as a

snapshot of the University’s 150-year history, according to Iftekhar Rouf, chair of the committee. Chancellor Michael Martin was also in attendance at the dedication ceremony of the campus’ fourth time capsule. “The time capsule will give us the chance to celebrate where we’ve been and let future generations know what was going on in 2010,” Martin said. “We remember where we’ve been so we can remember where we’re going.” Rouf said the capsule will contain items received from various students and departments. Some of the items include an

LSU football ticket, a scrapbook of performances from the College of Music and Dramatic Arts, documents from Greek Life and editions of the Gumbo, Legacy and The Daily Reveille. “We even have a personal letter written by a student to her future family members who may be attending the University,” Rouf said. The capsule will also include predictions for the future in addition to letters from the chancellor and various athletic coaches, Rouf said. CAPSULE, see page 15
