Library to open 24-hour study space

Angela Guillory, associate dean of students and director of Greek Life, held an open dialogue about Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity’s traditionally tongue-in-cheek banners at Monday’s chapter meeting. Prior to Saturday’s football game against Sam Houston State, DKE members hung a banner at their house reading, “Michael isn’t the Only Sam Getting the D Tonight,” mocking Michael Sam — the NFL’s first openly gay player. Guillory said K.C. White, associate vice chancellor and dean of students, and Kurt Keppler, vice chancellor for student life and enrollment, are aware of the situation, but as of now, DKE has not violated the University Code of Student Conduct. White said the banner would fall under portion “N” of Section 10.2 of LSU’s Code of Student Conduct, entitled Behavioral Misconduct. It states, “A Student may be charged with Behavioral Misconduct for any of the following conduct ... Lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct, including, but not limited to, nudity or sexually explicit behavior that would reasonably be offensive to others.” White said the last 48 hours have been “disappointing,” but added that words on the banner may be innuendo, they do not specifically violate the Code. “It’s a delicate balance between speech and what could actually be implied,” White said. Last year, before LSU’s game against Kent State, LSUPD asked DKE to remove a sign referencing the 1970 shooting rampage that killed four Kent State students. The fraternity apologized after criticism from both the University and Kent State. “[This week’s banner] definitely crossed the line and they know it,” Guillory said.
A 24-hour weekday study space will soon be a reality for students. LSU Libraries Dean Stanley Wilder said there are plans underway to keep the doors of Middleton Library’s bottom floor open through the night, five nights a week. Wilder said during extended hours, Middleton will become a study hall, with fewer library services available to students than in the daytime. Only those with a Tiger Card will be able to enter the library from midnight to 6:30 a.m. The library’s current hours are from 7:15 a.m. to midnight, and it is opened 24/7 during finals week each semester. Wilder said it’s important to make the library a place where students can study late at night. He said there are few places for them to go at those hours and dorms may not be a good environment for them to get school work done. Sigrid Kelsey, director of library communication and publications, said they hoped to have the building open 24/5 at the start of this semester, but they are still discussing solutions for keeping the building secure. Kelsey said the media was not told about the library’s plans because they wanted to be ready to keep it open before telling students. She said she had not spoken with Student Government, but was aware of their initiatives to find a 24-hour study space for students. SG President Clay Tufts said SG is looking into a 24-hour study hall for students, either within the Student Union, or elsewhere on campus. Texas A&M University’s oncampus library is open 24/5 and the University of Alabama’s is

Campus ministries connect the University to the Baton Rouge community BY KELSEY BORDELON kbordelon@lsureveille.com
A
t University churches’ weekly free lunches, students are doing more than just breaking bread with their peers — the meals connect students to the larger Baton Rouge community. Roughly 30 churches are involved in the free meals provided by campus churches throughout the school year. The area’s Baptist churches, for example, may collaborate with the Baptist Collegiate Ministry for dinner one week. While some individuals volunteer sporadically with their respective churches, some teams and organizations, like the Knights of Columbus, donate their time and efforts. Volunteers want students to feel they belong not just to their respective religions, but also to the greater community. “It’s not so much to attract members — it’s to give students a place where they know they are welcome. Our goal is to give
them a feeling of place,” said Susan Hankel, Christ the King director of stewardship and development. While spiritual growth depends on students’ religious beliefs, each church strives to broaden their goals and create an environment for students to meet new people in a Christian environment, enjoy a hearty meal free of financial stress and use the gathering as an opportunity to challenge students’ daily character. BCM director Steve Masters said various volunteers make the meals in a rotation, and some churches have speakers who provide specific challenges each week based on Bible verses or shared values of that church. “The volunteers want to provide a Christian devotion of some sort for these college students. That’s why they come,”

U.S., Britain sending aid to contain Ebola outbreak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONROVIA, Liberia — The United States and Britain will send medical equipment and military personnel to help contain West Africa’s Ebola outbreak, as the World Health Organization warned Monday that many thousands of new infections are expected in Liberia in the coming weeks. The current Ebola outbreak is the largest on record. It has spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people. An “exponential increase” in new cases is expected in the hardest-hit countries in coming weeks, the U.N. health agency warned. “As soon as a new Ebola treatment facility is opened, it immediately fills to overflowing with patients, pointing to a large but previously invisible caseload,” WHO said in a statement about the situation in Liberia. “Many thousands of new cases are expected in Liberia over the coming three weeks.” So far, more than 3,500 people have been infected, nearly half of them in Liberia. The outbreak has taken a particularly
heavy toll on health workers. The WHO announced Monday that one of its doctors working in Sierra Leone has been infected with Ebola. In response to the spiraling disaster, U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday that the military would help to set up isolation units and provide security for public health workers responding to the outbreak. Military personnel will set up a 25-bed field hospital in the Liberian capital, Col. Steven Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said Monday. The clinic will be used to treat health care workers, a high number of whom have become infected in this outbreak. Once set up, the center will be turned over to the Liberian government. There is no plan to staff it with U.S. military personnel, Warren said. Liberia welcomed the news. “This is not Liberia’s particular fight; it is a fight that the international community must engage very, very seriously and bring all possible resources to bear,” said Information Minister Lewis Brown. Britain will open a 62-bed treatment center in Sierra

Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy passes away THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
wakeup Reveille
Tuesday, September 9, 2014
ATLANTA — Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy died early Monday at 93. The billionaire rose from poverty by building a privately held restaurant chain that famously closes every Sunday but drew unwanted attention for the Cathy family’s opposition to gay marriage. Chick-fil-A spokesman Mark Baldwin told The Associated Press that Cathy died at home surrounded by members of his family. The company said in a statement that preliminary plans are for a public funeral service at 2 p.m. Wednesday at First Baptist Jonesboro in Jonesboro, Georgia. Cathy opened his first postwar diner in an Atlanta suburb in 1946 and by 1967 he had founded and opened his first Chick-fil-A Inc. restaurant in Atlanta. Over ensuing decades, the chain’s boneless chicken sandwich he is credited with inventing would propel Chick-fil-A expansion to more than 1,800 outlets in 39 states and the nation’s capital. By early 2013, the company says on its website, annual sales topped $5 billion as the chain offered up a taste of the South that went beyond chicken to such offerings as sweet tea, biscuits and gravy.

Its executives often said the chain made as much money in six days as its competitors do in seven. Those religious views helped win Cathy and his family a loyal following from conservative customers, but also invited protests when Cathy’s son defended the company’s donations to groups campaigning against gay marriage.

Local business creates colored candy BY Brittany Clark bclark@lsureveille.com In a city painted purple and gold, the candy should be too. Truly Scrumptious Candies and Confections’ Tiger Pretzel Crunch aims to bring the University colored candy to the whole city. Truly Scrumptious Candies and Confections has been a tenant at the LSU AgCenter Food Incubator since October 2013. Owners James and Linda McAdams and Karen Daigle started the company October 21, 2013, and their premier product is Tiger Pretzel Crunch. The candy concept comes from James McAdams, a University alumnus, while Linda McAdams said the purple and gold was added to celebrate LSU football. The Incubator has helped Truly Scrumptious by speeding up production, streamlining the
process, packaging and marketing and supplying business contacts. Linda said the Incubator does not do the work for business owners, but acts as a guide in all aspects of running a business. “It’s like a family with all the other tenants,” James said. “They all told us it’s hard before it gets better.” Before the company became a tenant of the Incubator, Linda and Daigle worked full time jobs and made candy as a hobby for more than 30 years. After Daigle’s coworker asked for a special recipe, the idea for the company became a reality. The McAdams’ family faced financial troubles after Linda lost her job. With issues finding another job, creating Truly Scrumptious became a reality. “We kept running into people using the same phrase: leap of faith. And here we are,” James said. “Linda got on the phone
with Karen and the business was born.” Tiger Pretzel Crunch is a sweet and salty snack that friends of the owners have coined as “crack” because it’s so addictive. The McAdams’ and Daigle are working on two more flavors and also gluten free and sugarfree versions. Tiger Pretzel Crunch currently is sold at Calvin’s Bocage Market, Alexander’s Highland Market and Calandro’s Supermarket on Perkins Road. The McAdams said the candy is in the process of being offered in two more stores and they are in general meetings for the product to be sold at Matherne’s Supermarket. “The long-term goal is to have a storefront, but online sales are important too,” Linda said. “We want to go everywhere but we are working on conquering Baton Rouge first.”

University students to volunteer as caretakers BY Kaci Cazenave kcazenave@lsureveille.com Volunteer LSU is working with South Louisiana Hospice to help the Baton Rouge community this fall. Student volunteers at the University will help care for terminally ill patients and extend support to families managing end-of-life care. The program is expected to be an ongoing project similar to VLSU’s Tigers Tutoring organization. Volunteer LSU President Robert James said he is eager to begin a more creative and sustainable service project. “We’re finally developing something our students can take part in more regularly,” James said. James said the Volunteer at Hospice project, unlike any of VLSU and Campus Life’s weekendonly service projects, is geared toward promoting diversity. Most often, the service projects created by his Focus Area Chairs — which cover health and wellness, environment, restoration and beautification, youth and education and civic education — are designed to engage and suit the types of people at the University. The Volunteer at Hospice project, however, will cater to people outside of campus, James said. Assistant Director of Campus Life and VLSU adviser Josh Dean said the program is open to all students, including undergraduates, graduate students, veterinary school students and law school students. “We hope that these students find meaning making connections with community members during a difficult time in their lives,” Dean
said. “Because the support that they can provide has the potential to incredibly impact people’s lives.” James said he thinks the hospice patients could also have an effect on the student volunteers. “Sure, the goal is to mobilize the student body to raise awareness about problems of the elderly,” James said. “But our hope is also that students will learn something between generations.” Dean and James said VLSU is still solidifying dates with South Louisiana Hospice to begin caretaking. However, both parties believe they believe SLH is eager to work with the University. “Oftentimes, hospice centers want to get things done but get bogged down by the day-to-day work that comes with taking care of so many patients,” James said. “Which is why this is such a good opportunity for us to help — to relieve this burden.” Biology junior John Brown said the hospice program is a great opportunity for future medical school students, and he would like to see it return to campus next year. Brown said he sees the program as an opportunity to boost the University’s image in the Baton Rouge community and remind them of the service and leadership in the University’s student body. James agreed he would like to see the program succeed beyond this year. “The climate is there — with the recent talk about ALS, which is a disease primarily found in old people, this is our chance to start the conversation no one speaks of,” James said. “And we couldn’t be in a better place.”

Architecture students unveil study kiosks in Quad BY Brittany clark bclark@lsureveille.com Architecture 2001 students displayed study kiosk structures in the Quad near Atkinson Hall on Monday. Architecture professors Shelby Doyle and Kristen Kelsch teach the course where students were assigned a project on the first day of class to build study kiosks to display in the Quad by the School of Architecture. After today’s competition, students will receive judge feedback and be allowed one last revision of presentation boards and to rework design boards. Doyle said she hopes to display the students’ presentation boards in Middleton Library. This is the first year the competition has taken place, and Doyle said the long-term goal is to gain community interest and construct more than just study kiosks. Requirements for the kiosks included a view of Middleton Library, Atkinson Hall and the sky. The kiosk had to be big enough for one person to sit and another to stand with both inside. Doyle said the students were asked to create a budget and schedule because the goal of the project was to use

ARCH 2001 students competed to design study kiosks out of wood, Monday. simple a material — wood. The students were only given plywood and 25 2x4x8’s. Architecture sophomore Andrea Thigpen said students were split into six groups to complete the project. Her group watched tutorials on how to make wood joints because this was the first time they constructed something so big.
“We wanted to design something intimate on this side of the Quad,” Thigpen said. Architecture students worked on the study kiosks for 15 consecutive days. Preliminary presentation boards and digital models were made using the computer software Rhinoceros 3D. Kelsch said the judging
board was made up of architecture faculty, along with undergraduate and graduate student representatives. Architecture professor Patrick Stowe Jones, one of the judges for the competition, said he was looking forward to seeing how students take common materials to create something special. Even with forecasted rain,
the study kiosks will remain outside. Thigpen said whether the wood was coated to protect against rain was up to each of the groups. “I am looking for the group that will build something different than what everyone expects,” Jones said. “One thing professors are trying to do is disrupt assumption of premeditated thinking of something that already exists in the world. Team to do that will be the winner.” University students and faculty passing through the Quad did not hesitate to stop and sit at the study kiosks. “I think it’s great to have more seating options,” said Middleton librarian Emily Frank. “It’s unique to see the student’s work.” Kelsch and Doyle said the winner of the competition will receive a surprise reward presented by their professors, along with bragging rights. “The students are experimenting and innovating these kiosks with common materials, which is an aspect of the curriculum. This really is a great learning opportunity,” Doyle said. The kiosks will be available for viewing in the Quad until Friday.

University professor receives grant for cancer research BY Lauren Guillot lguillot@lsureveille.com The Bella Bowman Foundation, a Baton Rouge organization aimed at supporting pediatric brain cancer research, awarded a $75,000 grant to medical physics professor Wayne Newhauser. Trey and Kim Bowman created The Bella Bowman Foundation after their daughter lost her life to brain stem necrosis, a rare side effect from the proton radiation she received for brain cancer. The Bowman’s established the foundation to help families of children suffering from brain cancer and to further research and education on radiation necrosis. Trey Bowman said he discovered Newhauser from an article on Newhauser’s Department of Defense grant to research ways to improve the health outcomes of pediatric cancer survivors. “It was almost like it was heaven sent when I was reading it,” Trey Bowman said. “We found Dr. Newhauser and he has over 20 years of experience with proton and photon radiation. He is equally as passionate about doing this project. And it just kind of all came together.” Newhauser, who worked at MD Anderson, said he found the Bowman’s story compelling. “At first, my reaction was ‘well
I don’t know anything about that, but let me look into it,’” Newhauser said. “So I did, I got some literature and read up. It turns out that this radiation necrosis is actually a very similar issue to second cancer. So most of my work had been on trying to reduce the risk of second cancers. But I would say about 90 percent of that is applicable to this radiation necrosis research.” The relationship between the Bella Bowman Foundation and the Medical Physics program started in 2013 with an initial grant of $22,000. Newhauser completed his first study on possible causes of radiation necrosis in June 2014. Newhauser has used the grants provided by the Foundation to fund stipends for the graduate students who assist in his research. “Typically what happens when someone like the Bowmans, reach out to us, we try to match that in some way with some of our internal program funding, I had a couple of grants in this area,” Newhauser said. “We had a lot of stuff in place, and what that meant was for that additional donation that they made they were allowed to get a lot of bang for their buck.” The LSU Medical Physics program is a joint program with the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center
in Baton Rouge. The partnership was created to combine the clinical environment of MBPCC with the research and education resources at the University. Newhauser’s research utilizes the University’s supercomputers to do computer simulations to predict the risks of cancer treatment. Newhauser said computer simulations eliminate many restrictions found in clinical trials like time and patient availability. “We’ve reduced the length of time of doing one of these studies from 15 to 30 years down to two to three years,” Newhauser said. “We’re actually the only group in the world who’s done complete full body reconstructions for the screening of spinal radiation.” Trey Bowman said they are optimistic about their continuing partnership with the Medical Physics program and Newhauser’s research. “If we can change the treatment algorithm favorably for one child and have a positive impact, then we say mission accomplished,” Trey Bowman said. Newhauser said it is unusual to find a specialized research program like his at a science college instead of a medical school. “If there are other folks out there who have an interest in this or they’re looking for ways to donate money, or maybe they’re

Defensive backs use peculiar practice methods
HAND Gordon’s career fueled by mother’s love and guidance
White says coaches put blinders on helmets
BY Jack Chascin jchascin@lsureveille.com No matter where Dillon Gordon goes, he’s never far from home. The junior tight end from Edgard, Louisiana has always been athletic, and he has been fueled and coached by his biggest motivator — his mother, Rita Jarrow. Dillon played sports from a young age, showcasing his natural abilities by outplaying 5-and-6-yearolds at the park despite being two or three years younger than them. But Jarrow’s sacrifices got Gordon to where he is today. His mother was always his biggest supporter and motivator, pushing for him to be involved in sports. “I always needed to keep [him and his older brother] into something,” Jarrow said. “An idle mind is a wasted mind, so I always tried to keep them into something.” Sports was that something in Gordon’s life. He played virtually everything throughout his childhood, succeeding at each sport he played. And while his sport of choice fluctuated throughout the years, his mother was the one constant in his life. She was by his side through it all, taking him to and from practices and even sitting through them because she firmly believed he was her responsibility and no one else’s. Gordon was always one of the biggest kids in his classes, and his size and ability enabled him to progress much faster than most of his teammates and competitors. Once he was ready to start playing high school ball, he reached an obstacle that almost deterred him from continuing his career if it wasn’t for his mother. In Edgard, Gordon played travel baseball and

BY Jacob Hamilton jhamilton@lsureveille.com Though the Tigers secondary unit is widely considered to be among the most talented in the nation, the young group can often be privy to lapses in fundamentals. “Our eyes can get us in a lot of trouble, that happened last year, unfortunately,” sophomore cornerback Tre’Davious White said. Defensive backs coach Corey Raymond has turned to a peculiar method to keep his defenders eyes in the right place. “This year Coach Raymond is emphasizing [our eyes] and he’s going as far as to even putting blinders on our helmets to help us keep our eyes in the right place,” White said. White said the defensive backs used the blinders in live practice, spring practice and until the end of summer camp. The secondary held Wisconsin to 50 passing yards in the season opener, and followed the that performance with another dominating display against Sam Houston State.

LSU’s sophomore trio justifies Lee’s new recruiting approach Group brings international experience to Tigers BY david gray dgray@lsureveille.com LSU soccer coach Brian Lee has made a concerted effort in recent years to expand the borders of his recruiting patterns. In the past two recruiting cycles, Lee’s acquired the services of seven players with international descent, and his new approach led to the program’s first top-ten recruiting class in 2014. But it was the 2013 class — headlined by sophomores Summer Clarke, Emma Fletcher and Megan Lee — that proved Brian’s expanded search wasn’t in vain.
The Tigers’ dynamic trio of scorer, facilitator and defender made an immediate impact on the LSU soccer program. Clarke, Fletcher and Megan were awarded with SecondTeam All-Southeastern Conference honors as freshmen, which was the first time in conference history three freshmen on the same squad earned AllSEC recognition. Brian wasn’t surprised at all by their early pedigree, and he expects the group to be even more lethal with a year of experience now under their belts. “The talent level was never in question with them,” Brian said. “It was just how quickly could they meld into the college environment on and off the field. But all three of them are very mature student-athletes,
so I knew they’d handle it well.” Unlike her coach, Fletcher wasn’t sure how her and her classmates would perform when they arrived at LSU, but achieving All-SEC status as a freshman certainly never crossed her mind. “I didn’t know any of the awards, so I definitely didn’t expect anything like that to happen,” Fletcher said. “We just came here wanting to play our best and help the team as much as we could.” But the questions lingering in Fletcher’s mind were quickly put to rest as the three seamlessly meshed into the Tigers’ lineup.

Offensive line bounces back after rough start against Wisconsin BY Tyler Nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com Coming into the 2014 season, the LSU football team’s offensive line was touted as one of the most talented, experienced offensive lines in the Southeastern Conference, if not the country. The big men up front were coming off a 2013 season in which they assisted the running backs in gaining 2,630 yards at an average of more than five yards per carry, and with the exception of right guard Trai Turner, who departed LSU early to enter the 2014 NFL Draft, everybody came back. “The veteran offensive line will certainly give [the quarterbacks] some time,” said LSU coach Les Miles at SEC Media Days in July. “[Senior left tackle] La’el Collins and [sophomore right tackle] Jerald Hawkins will be two of the finest tackles in our league. “We’ll be veteran at the guards and at the center. It should give the opportunity for that offense to continue up and down the field.” With a running back carousel consisting of two seniors in Kenny Hilliard and Terrence Magee in addition to freshman Leonard Fournette, the Tigers seemed poised to have a big season on the ground. But the unit’s season started with more of a whimper than a bang. In the first half of its contest against a young and relatively small Wisconsin defense, LSU gained just 16 rushing yards on 15 carries and 136 yards of total offense, 80 of which came on one play. “We didn’t focus on the little things as well as we should have against Wisconsin,” said senior offensive lineman Evan Washington. Whatever halftime adjustments the line made against the Badgers worked, and they’ve kept working. The Tigers ran more than twice as many rushing plays for 110 yards, punctuated by a three-play drive in which Hilliard ran 58 yards for the game-winning touchdown. The line’s success continued

The improvement on the ground has also helped open the passing game. After completing just five of 15 pass attempts (33.3 percent) in the first half against Wisconsin, the Tigers have connected on 15 of 24 passes (62.5 percent) for 369 yards and six touchdowns since. “We came out more focused and more capable,” Hawkins said after LSU’s contest against Sam Houston State. “We knew we could get it done.” Washington said experience on the offensive line has resulted in success not just from a skillset standpoint, but also because the group’s maturity allowed it to bounce back in a timely manner. “This is one of the deepest [offensive lines] since I’ve been here,” Washington said. “One of the better offensive line’s, player for player. We’re pretty deep.” After a tumultuous start to his LSU career — he did not see
the field in his first three years because of injury and academic reasons — Washington has emerged as a sort of jack-ofall-trades for the offensive line, serving as a backup for all five positions. In LSU’s two games this season, Washington has played already received playing time in three of them: right guard, left guard and his favorite, right tackle. “He knows everything from playing all the positions, and he’s very good at helping others on the line,” Hawkins said. Washington said he enjoys playing each different position, but sometimes it can get a little confusing. “I have like three different positions in my head,” Washington said with a laugh. “Sometimes at practice [offensive line] coach [Jeff] Grimes will ask me ‘why’d you do that,’ and I just say ‘ah, I forgot coach. I thought I was at another position.’” You can reach Tyler Nunez on Twitter @Nunez_TDR.

Miles looks forward to LSU too reliant on ‘paycheck games’ tough test from ULM FOOTBALL
THE CUBAN CANNON
TOMMY ROMANACH Columnist
BY BRIAN PELLERIN bpellerin@lsureveille.com Despite LSU’s dominating performance last Saturday against Sam Houston State, LSU football coach Les Miles said at his weekly “Lunch with Les” press conference his team is not prepared to face the Southeastern Conference schedule ahead. “We’re not ready to play our best opponents, but this is a very quality one, and it will be a great challenge for us,” Miles said. “We’re not where we need to be.” The Tigers get one more chance to improve before their SEC season begins with a game against the University of Louisiana-Monroe Sept. 13 in Tiger Stadium. Miles said that the Warhawks have a knack for upset victories and expects their best effort again this Saturday. “If you look back not too long ago, they beat an Arkansas team that was nationally ranked and several years ago, the Monroe team beat Alabama,” Miles said. “We are so warned, and we recognize and respect that opponent.” When asked about the potential shift to power-five conference teams only playing against other power-five conference teams that would eliminate these games, Miles said that it would be a mistake, and the freedom to schedule teams from smaller conferences creates variety within college football. Miles said the Tigers played 16 true freshmen against Sam Houston State, four of whom scored touchdowns. He said he sees the young players making the necessary improvements. “This was a game where a lot of our youth came to grow up,” Miles said. “[I] felt like the growth that needed to take place there certainly is being done.” In that 56-0 win, freshman
running back Darrel Williams powered his way into the endzone from the fullback position. Miles said he expects not only Williams but also all four running backs to make plays at fullback. “Our four tailbacks are big, strong, physical guys, and they run hard,” Miles said. “They are talented, and then we are going to have to find some athletic things for them to do at fullback … catch balls, some blocking assignments, as well as rushing the ball.” LSU used ten offensive linemen to pave the way for those running backs to total 239 rushing yards. This Saturday, LSU will add another player to the mix. Senior Elliot Porter will return to the LSU lineup and not only play but also take over his usual starting center position. Two more Tigers are vying for playing time: Defensive backs Rickey Jefferson and Dwayne Thomas each had an interception last weekend against Sam Houston State. Miles said their playing time depends on how much they progress as the season goes along. “It’s always that adjustment that needs to be perfected and always that technique that they need to improve upon, and as long as they are doing that, we won’t have any problem playing the best players and getting [the best players] on the field,” Miles said. Even though freshman Cameron Gamble and sophomore Trent Domingue have totaled eight touchbacks on fifteen kickoffs, Miles said the Tigers have thought about experimenting with ways to pin the opponent inside the 25-yard line. “We like covering kicks and we like making tackles,” Miles said. “We’ll kick it out some and when we don’t want to kick it out, we’ll drop it on the five‑yard line with great hang time.”
There was a time when LSU’s non-conference schedule was as frightening as Southeastern Conference play. Rather than play one tough game and sprinkle the rest with cupcakes, LSU used to seek out tough opponents to further its pride and reputation. LSU played teams like a pre-SEC Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Florida State in the ‘80s and ‘90s. In recent years, strength of schedule became less important to LSU and prompted a new mind set. The Tigers wouldn’t turn to the AP Poll for non-conference games; they’d turn to their checkbook. LSU will play its second “paycheck” game in a row this Saturday when it maims University of Louisiana-Monroe by a similar margin as its win against Sam Houston St. ULMonroe will pick up $975,000 only one week after Sam Houston received $500,000. In two weeks, New Mexico State will receive $975,000 to get slaughtered in Tiger Stadium. That’s three-fourths of LSU’s non-conference schedule. To paraphrase Don Draper, money doesn’t solve everything, but it solves this particular problem. The teams playing will say these games aren’t all for show, especially the opposing coaches. Before last week’s demolition, Sam Houston coach K.C. Keeler said the LSU game “isn’t a money game for us,” and his team did not schedule a predetermined score, it scheduled a football game. That’s a nice sentiment, but it’s completely untrue. That score Keeler didn’t schedule was 56-0, just in case you forgot. Keeler may have, because the only number that should matter to him and the Bearkats is $500,000. The Sam Houston St. players probably walked out of the stadium thinking of what they

Meanwhile, the Bearkats athletic director was only thinking about the facilities he or she can now build with the new paycheck. If this sounds a little depressing and pathetic, just remember: there are two more games like this on the schedule. Winning one game through money is fine, but three seems out of hand. LSU finds itself under the mind set of “If we have the money to do it, then we should do it.” Buying up as many wins as possible may be smart, but it lacks pride. If you have the best home-field advantage in the country, prove it. If you have the best athletes, display them against schools that can actually compete. Then there’s the excuse that LSU plays in the high and mighty SEC, and therefore the paycheck games are justified. People who say that must have forgot the SEC earned its sterling reputation by dominating other conferences throughout the
season in head-to-head matchups. Yes, the Tigers beat Wisconsin. They beat a team ranked No. 14 nationally, preseason. They beat a team who we believe will be good but don’t know will be good. In 2008 LSU began the season ranked No. 7 in the nation and finished it with five losses. Same thing could happen to the Badgers. You know who isn’t going to have good seasons? Sam Houston St., UL-Monroe and New Mexico State. Sam Houston lost to fellow FCS foe Eastern Washington by 21 this season, and New Mexico State almost lost to Georgia State last week. Just remember when you’re walking out of the stadium at halftime Saturday: LSU used to play non-conference games that were worth staying for all four quarters.

He was so visibly upset by the little amount of success his teams were having that Jarrow decided she had to do something about it. “He always wanted to be a winner,” Jarrow said. “One day he complained so much that I said ‘You know what? I’m going to put you in a school where I know they win.’” She called John Curtis High School football coach J.T. Curtis, Jr. and asked if Gordon could be allowed to play for the team. He eventually was. It was a big leap of faith for both Gordon and his mom. He left his friends behind while his mom drove 45 minutes each day to drop him off at school. But it’s a leap Gordon is grateful for. “It meant the world to me,” Gordon said. “We weren’t as fortunate as everybody, but my mom did some sacrificing for me to have a better life than when my brother and her when they were in school. I just took advantage of all the opportunities that were placed in front of me and I did something with it.” Jarrow said Gordon was happy to be accepted by the school and the team, and he began to enjoy playing much more than in the past. At John Curtis, he became one of the most successful high school tight ends in Louisiana in the class of 2012. He was

Fletcher had an SEC-leading 12 assists during her freshman season, and seven resulted in goals for Clarke, who finished her freshman campaign with a team-high 10 goals. For Clarke, last season’s offensive success was just the beginning. “Our freshmen class last year had a really good season, but it was only a start,” Clarke said. “We’re just looking to improve. I already feel more comfortable with it being my sophomore year. All three of us who made All-SEC are more comfortable with the team. We know everyone now, so we’re all meshing well together.” On the other side of the pitch, Megan proved to be the Tigers’ most versatile defender despite missing nearly half of her freshman campaign. The New Zealand native was inactive for eight games during her freshman season — six due to an ankle injury early in the year and two more when she was called up for international duty toward season’s end. But Megan made the most of her limited opportunity, helping the Tigers’ back line prevent opponents from creating quality scoring chances. With Megan in the lineup, the LSU defense held the opposition to a .391 shot-on-goal percentage,
key in John Curtis’ run-heavy attack while also producing seven catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns en route to winning the 2A State Championship in 2011. The move to John Curtis, on top of everything else in his childhood, proved to Gordon that his mother would do anything for him, and that she would be there for him no matter the circumstance. “My mom is a big key in my life,” Gordon said. “She tries to lead me in the right direction … and she has been that way my whole life.” Now even in college, he’s never too far away from his mother’s guidance. She attends every single game and critiques every play to help him become a better football player. They talk after each game, and she gives Gordon pointers on things he does right and things he needs to fix. Gordon said she is like a coach on and off the field, and he can hear and see her wherever she goes. “My mom has not missed an event in my life,” Gordon said. “She has been to everything. She has been to every game. In Tiger Stadium I can pick her out in the crowd, tell you what she has on and everything. I don’t know what it is. I just walk out there and I look, and I see her.”
The Daily Reveille notebook, from page 5 Ethan Pocic went down with an injury in the game against Sam Houston State, redshirt freshman Andy Dodd was thrust into the lineup. After choosing to play for the Tigers over rival Crimson Tide, Dodd, a former four-star recruit, sat out his first year in Baton Rouge with a shoulder injury. “When I first visited here [LSU], I wanted to commit but my parents told me to wait,” Dodd said. “Tuscaloosa is close to home so it was very appealing but I knew there is where I wanted to be. I don’t regret it.” With Pocic returning from injury and senior center Elliott Porter slated to start after returning from suspension, Dodd is unfazed about his play time. “I still have three more years,” Dodd said. “I’m in no hurry.”

Megan’s early success made her choice to attend LSU seem more sensible after she initially desired a different location. “Originally, I was looking for a team on the west coast because it’d be easier to get home,” Megan said. “Then Emma told me she was planning to go to LSU, and our dads started talking. After that, LSU emailed me because they had seen my soccer video on YouTube. I talked to the coaches, and they seemed like they had a good vision.” Brian’s vision has now made LSU a new hotbed for international talent, and the Tigers are hoping the team’s results will match their skills, especially after the six-game losing streak that concluded the 2013 season. Clarke said the Tigers have learned from last season’s discouraging finish, and they aren’t going to let their aspirations slip away again this year. “We were obviously disappointed with how last season ended because nobody likes to lose like that,” Clarke said. “Some things just weren’t working, but we learned from that mistake. We’re looking to move past that. We have more goals set for this season, so we’ve pushed last season behind us and just focused on what’s coming in the future.” You can reach David Gray on Twitter @dgray_TDR.

After graduating from the University of Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in Fundamental Issues in Texts, Tamayo moved to Washington, D.C., to work at a law firm. “I hated working there,” Tamayo said. “I was making money, but I realized that a career in law wasn’t for me.

University student designer releases new clothing line BY MICHAEL TARVER mtarver@lsureveille.com With a minimalist, sleek motif, University student Kevin Nguyen takes a simplistic approach to producing his own garb. His new line, Berreti Clothing, which has a West Coast meets New Orleans skater aesthetic, strips designs and color schemes to their most basic state. Nguyen, a computer science junior, said his retail business idea stemmed from the urge to create something his own, something fresh that no one else was wearing. “If other independent designers can do it, why can’t I?” Nguyen said. Besides the slight spelling correlation with the firearms brand Beretta, Nguyen said
the name Berreti was a word ingrained into his mind that he came back to for weeks when deciding the brand’s title. Although a fundamental layout revolving around a black and white scheme is essential, Nguyen said he draws inspiration for the calligraphy in his clothing line and organization draws from West Coast and European clothing styles. He said he uses social media, specifically Instagram, to find new ideas and accents for his otherwise simplistic designs. Nguyen said the design process was rigorous, and learning how to operate the programs he uses to layout his scheme was difficult. But he finally released the first product of his line this January. “It took a while for it to kickstart, but after a lot of
planning and scheming, we finally got it started in January,” Nguyen said. His newest products include a black and white baseball jersey style shirt, as well as mesh shorts and a five-panel hat. He said his line can be fairly unisex, and he can have a broad spectrum of designs that everyone can wear. Berreti Clothing highlights Nguyen’s heritage in New Orleans with “504” appearing on the sleeve of one shirt design. “It starts with the locals,” Nguyen said. “If you can have support from the local [community], then that can be the foundation to expanding worldwide.” Nguyen said most of his clientele has been centered in New Orleans, but he has been EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille

New downtown BR Duke, Duchess of Cambridge bar to debut Friday expecting second child BY LOGAN KEEN lkeen@lsureveille.com
Drive through downtown Baton Rouge at any time, any day of the week and you’re bound to see something under construction. This image has become common in recent months as the Baton Rouge downtown area undergoes its own personal renaissance of sorts. Brickyard South is one of the many businesses joining this healthy economic and cultural movement. This new bar will open Friday just off of Government Street. Brickyard South is run by some of downtown’s more familiar faces: co-owners Bryan Rogers; Andrew Bayard, formerly of The Roux House and Walk-On’s Bistreaux and Bar; Joe Martin, Creative Director at Red Six Media; and City Councilman John Delgado, who also has a law practice downtown. “We’re just gonna be a kind of a hole-in-the-wall dive bar that anyone can come to, from LSU students to blue collar workers,” Rogers said. “We wanted to open a different type of place from what you usually see downtown.” Bayard has previous business experience downtown, including currently co-owning Huey’s Bar on Third Street with Delgado. “I’ve been downtown for four years,” Bayard said. “Down-
town right now, it’s revitalized. It’s been really fun to watch it grow.” Bayard cites in particular the opening of IBM’s new office building downtown as “huge” for business. He said one reason for his excitement is the influx of population that IBM would contribute. “The permanent downtown residency right now is about one hundred people,” Bayard said. “IBM’s office right around the corner is going to just about double that. They’re putting in residential offices for their employees, and just that new group of people is going to be huge for us.” He said his vision of Brickyard South is “eclectic, like a mix between a radio bar and The Caterie,” a downtown bar that was just recently shut down due to fire damage. Bayard noted The Caterie for its casual atmosphere and live music every night, but Bayard said Brickyard South will only occasionally have live music. Bayard said downtown usually experiences a downturn around football season. “Football season would come around, and everyone would go to Tigerland,” Bayard said. However, he pointed out the “phenomenal” turnout after Saturday’s game against Sam Houston as reason for optimism for the rest of the season.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Prince George is not going to be an only child for long — the toddler will soon have a baby sister or brother to share his fancy digs at Kensington Palace. British royal officials said Monday that Prince William and the duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, are expecting their second child. Once again, Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness in the early phases of her pregnancy. The first time she was so ill she required hospitalization. Now she is being treated by doctors at her residence in Kensington Palace. She canceled a planned engagement in Oxford to rest and receive medical care. Prince William told well-wishers in Oxford that Kate should be over the worst of her symptoms in a few weeks. He repeatedly thanked people for congratulating him and said Kate was disappointed she could not travel. “She wishes she could be here,” he said. “She’s feeling okay, thanks. It’s been a tricky few days — week or so — but obviously we’re basically thrilled, it’s great news, and early days. We’re hoping things settle down and she feels a bit better.” The new baby, boy or girl, will become fourth in line to the throne, pushing Prince Harry to fifth.

William is second in line, while his father, Prince Charles, is first. Britain had changed its laws before George’s birth so that the couple’s first born would be in line for the throne regardless of its sex. Before the change, a girl would have lost her place in line if a boy was born later. William and Kate have often expressed an interest in having a larger family. The royal couple and their families are “delighted” with the baby news, said officials at Clarence House, the couple’s office. The announcement follows months of speculation in the glossy British and American press about a possible baby brother or sister for
George. After hospital treatment for severe morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum, Kate recovered and gave birth to George in July 2013 without further complications. The current illness means the 32-year-old duchess may need extra hydration, medication and nutrients. Britain’s Press Association news agency reported that Kate’s pregnancy hasn’t passed the 12week stage, which is when she became ill in her first pregnancy. Royal officials said it wasn’t clear if the duchess will be able to carry out planned official engagements.

The Daily Reveille DESIGNER, from page 9 promoting the brand all over campus. He said it is important for the Baton Rouge community to know that he is representing them and is there for them in this new design process. Purple Monkey Design in New Orleans has been the company printing his shirts from day one, Nguyen said. Nguyen said he’s sold 200 to 300 products since January to an average of 100 to 200 customers, and none of the profits go to recreational use on his part. “I put [all the profits] toward pushing out more products to expand the company,” Nguyen said. Berreti Clothing products currently include t-shirts, a three-quarter sleeve t-shirt, a baseball jersey style shirt, black mesh shorts and a five-panel hat.
The Tiger Tenors perform cover songs and originals written by past members of the group.
Nguyen said he would like to one day expand his brand to accommodate more women’s clothing as well as his own shoe design. Nguyen said the t-shirts range from $25 to $30 and the new baseball jersey will most likely be $50. The mesh shorts are $30 and the hat is $26. When he is not wearing his own designs, Nguyen said he prefers to shop online at mostly JackThreads, Urban Outfitters and occasionally Hautelook. Though some of these brands can be expensive, he said he recognizes the correlation between price and looking original. “If you want to look different you gotta pay for it,” Nguyen said. “I don’t like to wear the same thing everyone wears around here.” You can reach Michael Tarver on Twitter @michael_T16.

“Definitely research what you’re getting into and who you’re going to be learning from before you decide to go somewhere for graduate school,” Tamayo said. “In my first year in Baton Rouge, I almost quit because I was so depressed about the physical space I was in and the state of my life at the time.” That soon changed, however, when she dug into what was going on in Baton Rouge. “I took this amazing class from [poet] Laura Mullen. She shows this love for her students. It makes you feel like you really have something to say,” Tamayo said. “I learned how important it is to play around with the subject you’re writing about, and I got really interested in concepts of gender and culture.” While living here, Tamayo became immersed in Baton Rouge’s writing community. She honed her writing style while living and working with other local artists in writing circles around the city. “The arts community and especially the writing community here are really strong,” Tamayo said. “I could have started in New York or Chicago, but it wouldn’t have been as nurturing and I wouldn’t be
where I am now without all of the support I received from the community in Baton Rouge.” Tamayo graduated from the University’s MFA program in 2010. Immediately after completing the rigorous three-year program, Tamayo’s first book was published. “After that, I sort of fell out of the habit of writing for a while,” Tamayo said. “But now I have a routine. I focus on writing every morning from 6 to 10 a.m. Sometimes it’s not all churning writing out. Sometimes I just sit
and cry at my computer for an hour. But making a routine out of writing is necessary.” Tamayo’s new poetry book, “You Da One,” was inspired by her return to Colombia, her birthplace, to meet her biological father. “I wanted to come up with questions for when I met him. When I was on the plane to Colombia I had a list of thousands of questions. Some of them were pretty bizarre,” Tamayo said. You can reach Tyler Fontenot on Twitter @TylerFontenot83.

No easy answer to cat overpopulation
WEB COMMENTS On the article “Bikers need to obey traffic laws to keep themselves safe,” user jb commented:
Blue Collar scholar Justin stafford Columnist
“I’d just like to point out that it’s illegal in Baton Rouge to bike on that ‘perfectly good and notably vacant sidewalk.’ It would seem that this cyclist WAS following the rules of the road. Both you and Shirin seemed to miss this. Granted, LSU Police probably won’t stop you. They’re more likely to issue a ticket for biking through crosswalks and blowing stop signs/red lights. I had an officer stop me about biking through a crosswalk a couple years ago. He told me to stay safe and follow the rules of the road. I’ve been in the street ever since. Just look at the number of cyclists blowing through the quad or sticking on the sidewalk on a regular basis. It would certainly seem like the police have better things to do, and honestly, I don’t blame them - biking in the street can be a harrowing experience. Think about it, all it takes is one driver checking Facebook on their phone and BAM, I’m dead. However, campus drivers are pretty good. They have to deal with pedestrians randomly jaywalking, so almost all of them are attentive. You couldn’t pay me to bike on Standford or Highland, but campus isn’t so bad. The 20 mph speed limit helps, even if a bike lane would make mine and many others’ dreams come true.”

From Cats of Instagram to ancient Egypt and old superstitions, felines have always held rank in human society for one reason or another. History may repeat itself in the Baton Rouge area if a new ordinance is passed this month that would essentially launch a witchhunt on unregistered roaming cats. The Baton Rouge Metro Council will decide Sept. 24 whether to adopt a trap-neuter-return program for the city’s stray cats. Free roaming cats would be caught, neutered or spayed, vaccinated and then released into communities. The current program involves taking captured cats to shelters for adoption if they’re not diseased or feral. The initial date for the council to vote was extended 30 days from its original date. Cats are cute, playful and loveable, but they’re also overpopulating cities. These meowing masses are also affecting the bird population in some communities, making any solution a double-edged sword. People like their cats and people like their birds. Most folks do not like killing either of them. However, when it comes to the universe’s natural systems, balance must be met
and maintained to prevent negative outcomes for people and ecosystems. It’s the “Circle of Life.” The Bird Conservation Alliance aims to inform cat lovers and the general public on the danger of cat overpopulation and bird conservation. BCA makes an interesting argument against cities adopting trapneuter-return programs. According to BCA, “two-thirds of the bird species in the U.S. have declined over the last half-century. Scientists estimate that cats kill billions of birds each year and more than six times as many mammals.” BCA, like myself, is not pro-bird and anti-cat, but rather in favor of preserving both species by educating pet owners on responsibility. For instance, taking cats to a shelter can help reduce overpopulation. Supporters of programs that trap, spay or neuter, vaccinate and release cats back into communities say this method is best. It allows cats to live their life outside of a shelter where the cats may be euthanized because of shelter overcrowding. The Companion Animal Alliance, an animal rights group, takes in more than 3,000 cats a year. Many are not adopted and are euthanized. It is truly sad that so many cats are being put down because not enough people are adopting them. Then again, it might be that people aren’t adopting cats because there are just too many cats to adopt.
Animal activists should be even more understanding than the general public on issues surrounding animal population control. This sometimes means accepting that large numbers of animals, like cats, sometimes have to be killed because of a lack of resources to keep them sheltered and fed. It is best to not look at the situation as some form of cat genocide, but as a means to keep a functioning and healthy natural world. The issue of killing cats in a humane way is also not comparable to taking human life as a means of population control. I place human life above animal life. I would save you before I rescued a dog. That said, on the subject of homeless and uncared for animals, it is important to recognize the overwhelming number of humans in this country facing the same adversity. There people like you and me sleeping outdoors with an empty stomach. Many of them are children. Both sides of this debate should strive to reach the most effective and affordable solution to maintain both populations at healthy levels and take up the larger issue of building affordable housing and feeding humans in need.

Head to Head Is it all right to ‘check out’ other people in public? No. It targets women and makes them feel uncomfortable. our lady of angst Sidneyrose reynen Columnist Imagine this: you’ve had a really rough day in class, and all you’re excited about is to get home and relax. The only thing between you and that marathon of Law & Order: SVU is one short bus ride home. The bus isn’t too bad, except you forgot your headphones, a variety of body odors are abusing your nostrils and some guy you’re forced to sit across from is clearly gawking at you. “Thanks, dude,” you wish you could say aloud. “I really wanted to be eyeballed this entire bus ride back to my apartment.” This particular situation is probably familiar to most of LSU’s female population. Whether it’s being stared at on the bus, being accosted by an overeager classmate after class or even being called “baby” by the guy behind the counter at Starbucks, young women know all too well the uncomfortable feeling of being “checked out.” Some people might say if we are never “allowed” to check out people we are attracted to, no one would ever get together, start dating or have sex. That’s not true. Relationships, whether romantic, platonic, or sexual, usually don’t start by checking someone out on public transit or over a counter in the Student Union. Does that guy on the bus really think I’m going to respond to his inappropriate stares by asking for his number? Does the guy who asks me after every single class if I watch “Game of Thrones” think that he’s anywhere close to going on a date with me? Will the guy at Starbucks realize that I’m not his “baby,” and the only reason I’m talking to him is so I can get an iced latte? I would be more understanding
of this phenomenon of inappropriate flirting if it went both ways. Unfortunately, this is yet another issue that affects little to no men at all. If I asked 100 straight guys how many times they’ve felt uncomfortable because a woman was checking them out, the numbers would be in the single digits. I bring up “straight” guys for a reason too. Straight men always go on about how they couldn’t possibly be friends with a gay man because, “Bro, what if he starts checking me out or tries to look at my junk?” Maybe a short-hand rule for guys checking out girls should be, “Would you feel comfortable if a gay man was looking at you the way you insist on looking at me right now?” While it’s not an outright crime to make eye contact with someone on the street because you find them attractive, it’s crucial to realize that you could be forcing that person’s sense of safety and security. I’m tired of flirtatious men thinking they have a right to make women uncomfortable and afraid for their safety. With the high rate of sexual assault among college students, it’s unfortunately likely that a prolonged stare on the night bus or at a party will lead to some unwarranted sexual behavior. Some will say that it’s outrageous to compare a casual “checking out” session to rape, and instead of freaking out about it, I should feel complimented. Gawking at me, catcalling me or “accidentally” bumping into me are not compliments I want from strangers. So, if you want the right to “check me out,” please allow me the right to think you’re a creep. SidneyRose Reynen is a 19-year-old film and media arts and art history sophomore from New Orleans.

Yes. People should not be ashamed to express their sexuality. the amazing cynic Ryan monk Columnist I’m normally not one for preemptively justifying my own words, but I think it’s going to be necessary this time. So I’ll go ahead and get a few things out of the way. One: No one owes you their affection or body. Two: The topics covered in this column apply to any situation in which a sexual person of any gender checks out another person of any gender. My argument doesn’t pertain to feminism or sexual orientation. I myself am a staunch feminist and advocate of the “Do Whatever The Hell You Want With Your Genitals, As Long As It Doesn’t Hurt Anyone” mentality. Three: Please, for the love of whomever you love, do not rape anybody. With those out of the way, let me get to my actual thesis statement. I don’t think running a quick scan over someone’s body is sexual objectification. It is never acceptable to reduce a human being to a bullseye for lust, but I certainly wouldn’t equate a brief check-out with a dart. So now I need to define a “brief check-out.” If you’re physically touching someone, it’s not a brief check-out. If you’re saying anything that can be described as a catcall, it’s not a brief check-out. If you’re looking at someone long enough to form an articulate opinion on any of their body parts, it is not a brief check-out. When I say it’s okay to briefly check someone out, I mean that you shouldn’t be condemned for allowing your eyes to reflexively respond to someone catching your attention and sexual interest. Now, don’t go around trying to pierce anyone’s chest with your eye-beams; that’s rude and downright creepy. But if you find your line of vision getting stuck there for a second or two, you don’t have to feel like a monster; it’s natural. Sure, we could play it safe. We could
walk around campus with blinders, shielding our eyes from everyone we would let into our beds, living in fear of offending anyone. But I think that mentality comes with some negative societal effects. Over the generations, we humans have done a great job of marching radially outward from the center that is sexual openness. I think we’re above that now. We need to be honest with ourselves. I’ll speak on behalf of the sexual population of LSU, because I know most people are scared to even hint at the idea: We like sex. And we like it a lot. If I stop for a double take on you, it doesn’t mean I’m out to get you, or that I don’t respect you. It just means I like what you’ve got. Yes, rape culture is a very serious and real issue in our world. I absolutely recognize that it’s at the root of the discomfort associated with being checked out. People get raped, and that’s a truly disgusting fact. Trust me: We in the rest of the bunch are pretty bitter about the bad apples. Those of us who don’t commit rape still get scowled at for even expressing sexual interest, and that isn’t okay. I just don’t understand what’s so deplorable about being attracted to someone. If I think you look nice, then I think you look nice. If the feeling isn’t reciprocated, then the feeling isn’t reciprocated. Neither party is at fault. We can both go on with our days. There are terrible people out there who have made and continue to make us afraid to trust anyone with our sexualities, but I think we can work against that. Sex is awesome, and we shouldn’t have to be ashamed of wanting it. I think if we can make it a more casual subject matter, we can all get a bit closer to each other. And we won’t have to be so appalled when someone’s eyes drift a little too low for an instant. We need to celebrate our bodies, because we won’t have them for long. Take it from me. I know sex like the back of my hand; my right one, that is. Ryan Monk is a 21-year-old chemical engineering senior from Lake Charles. You can reach him on Twitter @RyanMonkTDR.

Masters said. Some of the religious lessons at the meals are broad, like at the BCM, while others, like at St. Alban’s Chapel, have a specific focus. Each Wednesday, the church hosts “Lunch with C.S. Lewis” from 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m., then follows the meal with a teaching based on C.S. Lewis’ book “Mere Christianity.” Though this meal gathering has more of an agenda than others on campus, the teachings focus on elements to unite all Christians, maintaining the key concept of community the volunteers aim to share. The students who attend these meals also see the significance in the community building. “I think community is really important to the church,” said psychology junior Sophie Johnson. “In order to learn more about your faith, you need to grow with other people, so it’s really cool to be able to do that here. Even if you’re not looking
The Daily Reveille for self-growth, everyone is really friendly.” Chemical engineering senior Tiffany Robinson frequents the meals at Christ the King, and said she feels these gatherings are good even for students who don’t follow the religion at the given churches, if just for a broadened individual perspective and awareness. Outside of religious motives, these meals are an opportunity for students to save money, meet new people and relax for a lunch break. “I’m not a member here, but everyone is really welcoming and so it’s a nice place to have a break,” said international studies senior Emily Welch. The biggest hits on the menu have included jambalaya and gumbo, but there are a variety of dishes provided throughout the school year. “Any of our volunteers that can afford to continue, never stop. Some have been here for 12 years,” Hankel said.
page 15 LIBRARY, from page 1 open until 2 a.m., according to both school’s websites. The University of Mississippi’s library is also open until 2 a.m. on weekdays. Campus Transit will also extend its operating hours to pick up students from the Thomas Boyd parking lot near Middleton and drop them off at their residence halls until 3 a.m., Wilder said. Wilder said the plans drawn up by architects to improve the library’s look and function last school year as a requirement for the University’s reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges may not
happen. There is talk of abandoning Middleton in the future in favor of building a whole new library instead, Wilder said. However, there are no set of official plans for Middleton’s future except to extend hours for students. He said instead of waiting for the library to undergo renovations they will provide the services students want most now. Wilder said the library will keep track of the number of students who use it by a counter on the doors and by how many students check in with their Tiger Cards after midnight. These numbers will help the library gauge whether or not opening more levels is necessary.
