Varsity Theatre hosts Metal Night RENEE BARROW · Staff Writer
Saturday night, the Varsity Theatre’s Metal Night showcased diversity in Baton Rouge’s local scene, both in attitude and musical style. “Metal is so broad,” said Harvester guitarist and vocalist Jared Alleman. “If you hear something and think that it’s metal, it’s metal.”
Harvester, a metal band from Plaquemine formed in 2010, headlined Metal Night and was preceded by Odious Ab Intra, Ventruss and Left Hand Path. Left Hand Path opened with an eruption of blaring sound with their song, “Pool Party ’66.” The Bands
performance included a pause midshow to take a selfie on stage with its audience in the background. Left Hand Path drummer David Cottongim described the group’s sound as metalcore-like. Having only formed six months prior, Left Hand Path vocalist Lucien
Champton said the band was thrilled to perform at the Varsity. The night’s energy continued to rise when another Varsity firsttimer, Ventruss, took the stage. The band’s immediate display of fierce METAL, see page 7
As University students arrived on campus Monday for the start of the summer semester, students were able to choose from a wider selection of parking zones. The University’s amendment to the zone restricted parking rules added increased accessibility to parking lots previously regulated by University parking officials. Joined by former Student Government senator Chase Hilton, former parking director Gary Graham and senior director of Administrative Services and Risk Management Jeffrey Campbell put together a pilot program allowing any University student with a valid 2013 or 2014 parking pass to park in the Commuter, Greek and Residential parking zones. Student Government eagerly pushed for a better parking system to provide more parking space and reduce parking violations. PARKING see page 7

Jindal approves alternative health care plan
Lauren Guillot Contributing Writer
Gov. Bobby Jindal signed into law Senate Bill 682, implementing his health care plan “Louisiana First America Next Freedom and Empowerment Plan” May 30. The “America Next” plan, which was unveiled by Jindal in April, was created to replace the Affordable Care Act in Louisiana to offer a conservative, consumerfocused alternative. The House voted 96-3 in favor of the bill. “The bottom line is it reduces costs, empowers patients, does what the president said he wanted, but we also start by repealing the entirety of Obamacare,” Jindal said in an op-ed video for The Wall Street Journal.
The plan will eliminate the tax-exempt status of employersponsored insurance plans. Instead, a standard tax deduction for all forms of health insurance will be applied, encouraging people to purchase their health care independently. The interstate sale of insurance will also be allowed under the new plan, so Louisiana residents can buy insurance being sold in other states. “We are giving you more choices,” Jindal said. Critics of SB 682 wonder what impact the “America Next” plan will have on Louisiana. “There seems to be an outline of what you are proposing to do and not much substance,” Rep. Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, told the House Health committee. “That really gives
me some concern.” Many Louisiana physicians are worried about what this plan will mean for their patients and practices. “None of us really know what the governor truly wants the bill to be,” said pediatrician Dr. Roberta Vicari. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals has been tasked with determining how to implement the plan and calculating the costs. DHH Secretary Kathy Kliebert said that while the agency could provide a plan and budget by its September deadline, further state and federal approvals may be required before the plan can be put to action.

MADISON (AP) — Gay couples across Wisconsin rushed to wed Monday, as more than half of the counties in the state began issuing licenses ahead of an expected hold on a ruling that the state’s same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb in Madison struck down the ban Friday in an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit challenging the prohibition. But she didn’t order county clerks to begin issuing licenses or block them from handing them out. She said she wants the ACLU to draft an order for her spelling out how the organization wants her decision implemented. Her stance has left county clerks to decide on their own whether they can legally issue licenses to same-sex couples. Clerks in Milwaukee and Madison, the state’s liberal hubs, began issuing licenses to same-sex couples within hours of the ruling. Together the counties issued 238 licenses on Friday and Saturday. At least 42 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties were issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on

Sexual violence troubles Egypt The Associated Press CAIRO (AP) — A string of sexual assaults on women during celebrations of Egypt’s presidential inauguration — including a mass attack on a 19-year-old student who was stripped in Cairo’s Tahrir Square — prompted outrage Monday as a video emerged purportedly showing the teenager, bloodied and naked, surrounded by dozens of men. Seven men were arrested in connection with the assault and police were investigating 27 other complaints of sexual harassment
against women during Sunday’s rallies by tens of thousands of people celebrating Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s inauguration late into the night, security officials said. Sexual violence has increasingly plagued large gatherings during the past three years of turmoil following the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak, and women’s groups complained Monday that tough new laws have not done enough. But the government was unequivocal that Assad’s future was assured in the country led by his family since 1970.

(AP) — Louisiana’s laws against human trafficking are getting tougher, and victims’ services are being highlighted, under several bills signed into law Monday by Gov. Bobby Jindal. Trafficking victims’ support groups say the measures are an international model. The most sweeping legislation is by Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans. The bill creates harsher punishments for human trafficking and related crimes, increases protections for victims and requires training for law enforcement to recognize trafficking offenders and victims. Another new law on the books, by Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, will allow courts to create specialized divisions to handle human trafficking cases.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri didn’t have trouble describing junior right-hander Aaron Nola following what would be his final performance in Alex Box Stadium on May 31. “He’s one of the most amazing competitors I’ve ever been around, and our goal now is to get Aaron Nola one more start at Alex Box Stadium,” Mainieri said. But the Tigers failed to grant their coach his wish. Two consecutive losses followed Nola’s one-run outing in the Baton Rouge Regional to end the Tigers’ season, and Mainieri’s desire to see his star pitcher get one final throw in front of his home crowd was thrashed when the Philadelphia Phillies selected Nola with the seventh pick of the 2014 MLB Draft. An impressive late-season offensive surge of 100 runs that resulted in 10 consecutive victories may have hidden some of LSU’s glaring weaknesses, but the final two games of the season shed light on one obvious shortcoming for the club — Nola was all the Tigers really had working for them.

Late surge halted in regional Pair of losses to Houston ends season Marcus Rodrigue Staff Writer
For a few weeks, the LSU baseball team looked unstoppable. The Tigers cruised through the final week of the regular season, starting with a 27-0, rain-shortened drubbing of midweek opponent Northwestern State. LSU built on that momentum in the Southeastern Conference Tournament, winning four straight games – two of which were ended under the 10-run mercy rule – en route to the league title and the No. 8 national seed. After winning their first two regional games, the Tigers were one victory away from a
third-straight super regional appearance. But LSU couldn’t hang on to a late four-run lead, and Houston rallied for a pair of victories that eliminated the Tigers (4616-1, 17-11-1 SEC). “It’s always disappointing for the season to come to an end and not achieve your goals you had for the team,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri on Thursday. But LSU wasn’t always a shoo-in for a trip to the College World Series. After racing out to a 16-2 non-conference start, the Tigers struggled to produce runs and trudged to a 3-5-1 record through the first leg of SEC play. LSU’s low point came during the final week of March when it lost a 3-2, 11-inning midweek contest against Tulane before getting swept at Florida. Just when the season seemed to be falling apart, the Tigers ripped
off seven straight wins, including a weekend sweep of then-No. 9 Mississippi State. LSU won its next two weekend series before hitting another bump in the road. The Tigers scored fewer than three runs per game during the following two weekend series, losing a pair of games at Texas A&M and splitting a rain-shortened series at Alabama. But that’s when they erupted for a late-season surge and outscored their next seven opponents 85-8 to earn a spot in the SEC Tournament championship game against Florida. LSU and the Gators were locked in a scoreless game until senior designated hitter Sean McMullen’s two-run homer in the 8th inning lifted the Tigers to their 11th conference title.

In a rollercoaster season that featured a mixture of stagnant bats, unsteady pitching, late-game meltdowns and questionable fan support, Nola brought a muchneeded combination of stability and dominance every time he took the mound. In the 16 games Nola started in 2014, LSU walked away victorious 15 times. He finished his second consecutive First-Team All-American season with an 11-1 record and 134 strikeouts, which led the Southeastern Conference. Nola’s 1.47 ERA was also good enough for second in the SEC behind Vanderbilt sophomore right-hander Carson Fulmer, whom Nola outpitched by nearly 47 innings. For much of the season, the Tigers faced constant questions regarding their talent, ability and desire. But Nola’s presence always seemed to add one major aspect to the Tigers’ game that was otherwise suspect at crucial times this season — confidence. There was just a different environment whenever the 6-foot-1-inch Baton Rouge native took the mound. Opposing teams unsuccessfully tried to rack up runs against his 93-mph fastball, change-of-pace curve ball and much-improved changeup. In more than 116 innings pitched, Nola surrendered only 19 runs compared with the 94 his teammates provided him in his outings. The two-time SEC Pitcher of the Year led a pitching staff that finished second in the conference in total ERA, but he was something of an outlier. The LSU pitchers
BASEBALL, from page 3
But the low-scoring affair with Florida signaled a downward trend in the Tigers’ offensive production. LSU’s hits and runs decreased with each regional game, but a shaky bullpen ultimately cost the Tigers a super-regional berth. After pulling off a comeback to beat Southeastern Louisiana and riding junior right-hander Aaron Nola’s arm past Houston, LSU needed to beat Houston just one more time to capture the regional title. That seemed like a sure thing with the Tigers holding a four-run lead in the 8th inning. But senior right-hander Kurt McCune allowed the first four Cougars to reach base, and Houston came through with some clutch hitting to tie the game and force extra innings. Mainieri stood by his decision to insert McCune for junior lefty Kyle Bouman, who allowed only two hits through six shutout innings. “[Pitching coach] Alan Dunn and myself were hoping to get five good innings out of him, and we got six great innings,” Mainieri said. “Had we left him in for another inning, there was no chance he would have pitched and gone past seven innings.” Mainieri said he only secondguessed himself about letting McCune pitch the 8th inning instead of closer Joe Broussard, who had pitched an inning the night before. McCune threw two hitless innings in the SEC championship, so
had an ERA of 2.89 without Nola, which would have been sixth in the SEC. Despite the respectable season freshman southpaw Jared Poche’ delivered for LSU by going 9-3, it’s difficult to imagine a team reaching its lofty goals of a national championship with a freshman as its No. 2 pitcher. Fair or not, Mainieri was heavily criticized for his decision to pull junior left-handed pitcher Kyle Bouman out of a 4-0 lead against Houston with a chance to advance to the NCAA Super Regional round. But hindsight is always 20/20, and the lack of reliable arms for Mainieri to choose from is what ultimately doomed LSU in the end, not the decision to sit a pitcher who had thrown through seven innings only once the entire season. Fans seemed to believe the Tigers’ red-hot bats would carry them all the way to Omaha despite the likelihood of facing better pitchers as the postseason advances. What they failed to understand was that LSU had to at least match the opposition’s pitching staff if it wanted to bring home the title, not depend on the unforeseen offensive production the Tiger bats had provided late. The Tigers had only one Aaron Nola, and they could only ride him so far. David Gray is a 25-year-old mass communication senior from Gastonia, N.C.

Contact David Gray at dgray@lsureveille.com Mainieri decided to ride the hot hand. “The last thing I thought was possible was that [Houston] would score four runs in the top of the 8th inning,” Mainieri said. “I thought even if they scored one or two off of Kurt, we could still go to the 9th inning with Joe Broussard getting the ball to relieve and get three outs.” Broussard ended up pitching three innings but gave up the winning run in the top of the 11th. LSU seemed poised to exact revenge in the elimination game, scoring two runs in the opening frame to put Houston in an early hole. But the Cougars responded with two runs of their own, and the Tigers never regained momentum. Houston jumped on relievers Parker Bugg and Brady Domangue for a seven-run third inning, and junior right-hander Jared Robinson shut down LSU’s bats as the Tigers’ season ended with a 12-2 defeat. “We were great for 10 games and seven innings,” Mainieri said. “Especially those last few months, since the first of April, I think we played tremendous baseball. Everybody was confident, everybody was loose, and we had a team that could get to Omaha and win the national championship. And so when the season comes to a screeching halt, it’s obviously very disappointing.” Contact Marcus Rodrigue at mrodrigue@lsureveille.com

A throwing error on Perdzock’s double allowed another run
to score, and J.B. Woodman’s sacrifice fly scored Perdzock to complete the Rebels’ four-run rally. Scott Weathersby (3-1) pitched two scoreless innings for Mississippi (46-19) and Josh Laxer picked up his sixth save, allowing only an unearned run in 3 1-3 innings. Austin Anderson and Sikes Orvis homered in the Rebels’ three-run fourth. ULL (58-10) lost back-to-back games for the first time all season.
Ragin’ Cajuns starter Cody Boutte (9-1) went four innings, giving up four runs on five hits. ULL pitchers issued eight walks and hit three batters. Ole Miss will play Virginia on Sunday in its first game of the College World Series.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tulane has named Sam Houston State head coach David Pierce as head coach of its baseball team. Athletic Director Rick Dickson announced Pierce’s hiring Sunday. Pierce replaces Rick Jones,
who retired in May after 21 years with the program. Jones missed the second half of the 2014 season after falling ill in March. He compiled an 818-445-2 record, making him the longest-tenured and winningest baseball coach in Tulane history. Jones guided Tulane to 12 NCAA Regional
appearances, three NCAA Super Regionals and the program’s only two appearances in the College World Series in 2001 and 2005.

Understanding of privilege important to University OFF WITH HER HEAD Jana King Columnist Some Ivy League students starting this fall will be forced to check their privilege at the door, as Harvard’s Kennedy School begins teaching a mandatory class on privilege and power in American society. Student activists spoke to New York Magazine about the importance of examining the power structures and privilege that helped them get into a top tier American university, which had been previously absent from the academic programs. Though LSU isn’t an elite and exclusive academic institution, there was a lot of luck involved in many students’ applications. I am aware of the privilege I have as a Louisiana resident that allowed me to qualify for TOPS and other financial aid. This
privilege allows me to attend the university at virtually no extra cost. In the four semesters I have attended LSU, I have seen many out-of-state students forced to leave due to financial hardships. I will never have to face these troubles because of my privilege as a Louisiana resident. But the word privilege has a negative connotation for those who feel it is too critical. After all, privilege is mostly unearned. Why should we be made to feel bad for being born into a race, gender, sexual orientation or social class that has benefited us? We had no control over where we were born. That’s why checking your privilege isn’t about feeling guilty. Imagine LSU as a video game in which the goal is to survive four years of school and receive a diploma. In video games, you start out on the easiest difficulty. A beginning difficulty level in LSU would be a heterosexual, white, cisgendered, able-bodied
18-year-old male from an uppermiddle-class Christian family in Louisiana. A character in the beginning level would not struggle with the protestors in Free Speech Plaza telling them that they are going to hell for their sexuality. They wouldn’t be stopped by campus police after an emergency text is sent out describing a 6-foot-tall, dark-skinned robbery suspect. They wouldn’t worry about missing class because the elevator in Lockett has stopped functioning, and they are wheelchair bound. But other students who are at different difficulty levels at LSU face these situations every day. That’s not to say that the student described never faces struggles. Deaths in the family, relationship problems, mental illness and other problems affect everyone. But the students at different difficulty levels at LSU are facing those issues on top of everything else. Think back to the first
experience you had with someone telling you to check your privilege. If your family was anything like mine, it was probably at the dinner table. If I asked to be excused before I finished all of the food on my plate, my mother would remind me that there were starving children all over the world who would love to have the food that I hadn’t finished. “Great, send it to them. I’m not hungry,” I would think as I rolled my eyes and scarfed down the rest of my food. Looking back, I realize that my mom wasn’t trying to guilt me about being born into a family where there was always enough food in the fridge. She wanted me to be aware of my privilege and to not take the food on our table for granted. And she wanted me to be respectful of those children, who were not as lucky as I was, and to remember their existence as I grew up. It is important to
remember that there are people who have led different lives than us, and that some of those lives have contained struggles that we cannot begin to imagine. And when we make decisions and vote, we must remember their existence and be respectful of how our choices will affect them. Ignorance may be bliss, but we aren’t in college to be ignorant. We’re here to learn. Jana King is a 19-year-old communication studies junior from Ponchatoula.

Craze over “normal” Miss Indiana misguided still pretty thin. I want to say I’m not begrudging Diehl or the other contestants their bodies. My problem is with the media circus that, from a crowd of supermodels, pulls the least skinny, puts her on a pedestal and pats itself on the back for being so progessive. Even EOnline.com writer Natalie Finn seemed aware of the banality of her own words when she described Diehl’s body as “curvier-than-some.” I’m all for encouraging diversity of body types in all kinds of media, but when the alternative to the unattainable look of most pageant queens and models is the only-slightly-less-unattainable look exemplified by Diehl, it’s hard to call that progress.
BUT HE MEANS WELL Gordon Brillon Managing Editor Maybe you noticed, but the Miss USA pageant was in Baton Rouge last week. You probably didn’t see it; it was a pretty lowkey affair. Anyway, I don’t want to hit you over the head with what I think is wrong with Miss USA and beauty pageants in general. To any sensible person, they’re an antiquated, misogynistic relic of the times old men in white suits love to remember. “The good old days,” they might call them. No, that’s not what I’m going to complain about, because as much as we have moved on from those times, the Donald Trumps of this world won’t let go until we pry them from their cold, dead hands. Miss USA isn’t going away anytime soon, so I guess we’ll just have to ignore it. But this year’s event, located right here in Baton Rouge, was impossible to ignore, at least for anyone who follows The

First off, the idea of a “normal” body is a pretty ridiculous one. What is that supposed to mean? Is it a person of median height, weight and health? Someone with the average weight of the population? Or is it what we might consider a medium amount
of weight? Because none of those are the same thing. Secondly, among a random sample of the population, Diehl would stand out. Sure, she is marginally less skinny than her extremely skinny peers, but she’s still in a beauty pageant, and thus

and heavy energy directly translated to the audience, resulting in several spontaneous mosh pits. Its performance included “Lost,” featuring another local artist, Voice of the Enemy vocalist and guitarist Hayden Kimball. Ventruss vocalist Ben Jewell and guitarist Spencer Chandler said metal should have soul and is based on the attitude portrayed by the music. “People have said our sound reminds them of Avenged Sevenfold,” Chandler said. The night continued with Gonzales-based band Odious Ab Intra. “We don’t confine ourselves to one demographic [of rock music], we mix it up,” said Odious Ab Intra bassist Lee Craig. Craig said the group considers their sound a hard, progressive form of rock. Odious Ab Intra displayed its array of styles, from its softer sounding and Latin namesake “Curse from Within” to mosh inducing “Thorns Unbroken.” Odious Ab Intra lead vocalist John Torres said individuals must have the mind of a composer to write metal, as it is complex in musical composition. “In my opinion, Bach was the first metal player,” Odious Ab Intra guitarist and vocalist Dustin Boudreaux said.
Shortly before midnight, Harvester took the stage to show off its sound one described on their website as “a sound that was forgotten in a new age of metal.” When asked what newer bands they enjoyed listening to, Harvester drummer Austin Wood admitted to being a Slipknot and Lamb of God fan. “Are we shooting him?” said Alleman in response. In other words, Harvester’s style is influenced by ’80s and late ’70s bands such as Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus and Slayer, Alleman said. “Metal is about power, anger and the sadness pouring out of people who’ve dealt with the worst crap in life,” said Ben Giaccone, Harvester bassist. Those influences shone through in Harvester’s fast-paced “Die in a Fire” and “Pull the Trigger.” Metal Night ended with Harvester’s performance of “Highlander.” While the groups’ styles and backgrounds varied, they all advocate for local scene growth and success. “If you like to buy your seafood local, and this and that local, buy your music local,” Alleman said.

usually restricted to vehicles with the corresponding zone tag, enforcement manager Damby Hayes reminded students parking in the newly sanctioned areas still requires a University parking pass and warned illegal parking in a B or C zone is still a parking violation that will be enforced. The pilot program focuses its attention on the Commuter, Greek and Residential zones, which have had the most parking violations. Campbell says the Greek zones held the highest number of violations, including the East Fraternity Lane lot, the Sorority lot and the Dorothy Dix lot.
