Editor’s note: This is the fi rst in a two-part profi le of the University’s newest leaders.

From a farm in South Africa to the Louisiana swamps, Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins has done it all when it comes to higher educa-tion, and most of it fell into his lap without his asking for it.

The 75 -year-old has served as the University’s chancellor twice, system president once and dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine — and he’s never ap-plied for an administrative job.

Born on a farm in South Af-rica , he never intended to work in higher education.

He spent his childhood play-ing rugby and cricket, while aspir-ing to become a veterinarian.

“I always wanted to do it and fulfi lled that dream,” he said.

He thought the highest level he would ever reach was being a

veterinary school dean. But Jenkins moved through

the ranks of higher education. He came to the United States and received a Ph.D. in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri in Columbia in 1970 . He returned to South Africa and

practiced veterinary medicine for four years before joining the fac-ulty of the University of Pretoria in South Africa .

In 1978 , Jenkins moved back to the United States amid violent turmoil in South Africa .

He spent 10 years working

in the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology at Texas A&M , and was appointed dean of the LSU School of Veteri-nary Medicine in 1988 . By 1993 , he became the executive vice chan-cellor and provost, and in 1996 , he was named chancellor for the fi rst time.

“I thought being a dean would be the culmination of my career,” he said.

As an administrator, Jenkins won awards, served on select na-tional committees and even met six presidents — Gerald Ford, Ron-ald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Jenkins’ ability to relate to all people regardless of status led him to many positions, said Peggy, his wife of 51 years.

“He’s honest, and he’s got integrity,” she said. “And he’s a people person. He’s always there to spend time with the little people.”

His achievements also come from his ability to assess multiple angles of problems from different perspectives, said Laura Lindsay , dean of the College of Human Sci-ences and Education . Lindsay has worked with Jenkins since he start-ed working at the University.

“He tries to bring people to-gether who have a stake in issues

Imagine a Nicholson Drive four lanes wide from American Mart to Walk-On’s with bike lanes and wid-ened sidewalks fl anking the heavily traffi cked stretch of road.

Envision turning lanes in all four directions at the intersection of Nicholson and Brightside drive s. Think about more effi cient light tim-ing cycles to help shorten the line of cars that regularly backs up south-ward hundreds of feet past Ben Hur Road, as well as hundreds of feet westward down Brightside during peak traffi c hours.

That daydream is only a few years away from becoming reality, according to David Guillory , interim director of Public Works for the city.

As part of Baton Rouge’s Green Light Plan to alleviate roadways and abate citywide traffi c issues, Nichol-son will undergo two separate con-struction projects beginning in fall 2013 .

Construction at the notoriously gridlocked intersection of Brightside and Nicholson could begin as early as October 2013 , Guillory said. The second project expanding Nicholson from Brightside to Gourrier Avenue

Jenkins, interim system president and chancellor, on why he’s back at LSU Chris Grillot Staff Writer

The 2013 edition of “The Best 377 Colleges” by The Princeton Re-view lists the nation’s top 20 party schools, and LSU is nowhere in sight.

After students answered ques-tions about aspects of college like campus life, academics and the stu-dent body, West Virginia University was chosen as No. 1 among the list of colleges known to party. Last year, LSU sat in the 13th spot.

LSU students offered mixed ex-planations for why the University is absent from the list, but most agreed the revelation was surprising.

“There’s a whole bunch of par-ties here. We should be the top party school,” said Daney Glover, music education freshman .

Other students said the reason LSU may be absent from the list is because students are more interested in other college aspects.

“Maybe people are interested in organizations or going off campus or maybe they’re studying more,” said Caroline Boley, a history junior who responded to the new list with disbe-lief.

Some students, like interdisci-plinary studies senior Angelica Mar-tin, said The Princeton Review may have chosen to ignore the Universi-ty’s status as the top partying school to give other colleges an opportunity to make the list.

Martin said she thinks people are “sick of seeing LSU on the list every year” and said people are prob-ably curious to learn about different schools that are not as well known.

“Maybe it’s because LSU’s been considered a party school for so long and it still is, but maybe the newspaper people are trying to high-light other schools,” Martin said.

Israeli archaeologist � nds Nazi gas chambers in eastern Poland

KIRYAT MALACHI, Israel (AP) — When Israeli archaeologist Yoram Haimi decided to investigate his family’s unknown Holocaust history, he turned to the skill he knew best: he began to dig.

After learning that two of his uncles were murdered in the infa-mous Sobibor death camp, he em-barked on a landmark excavation project that is shining new light on the workings of one of the most no-torious Nazi killing machines, in-cluding pinpointing the location of the gas chambers where hundreds of thousands were killed.Syrian government of� cial warns U.S. against military intervention

BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian govern-ment offi cial warned the United States on Tuesday that military inter-vention in Syria could lead to region-al turmoil as regime forces bombed a northern village and stormed a rebel-held Damascus suburb, killing doz-ens of people, activists said.

The comments came a day af-ter President Barack Obama said the U.S would reconsider its opposition to military involvement in the Syrian civil war if Bashar Assad’s govern-ment deploys or uses chemical or biological weapons, describing it as a “red line” for the United States.

Court: Texas can cut off Planned Parenthood funds in new law

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A fed-eral appeals court ruled Tuesday that Texas can cut off funding for Planned Parenthood clinics that provide health services to low-income women before a trial over a new law that bans state money from going to organizations tied to abortion providers.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans lifted a federal judge’s temporary injunc-tion calling for the funding to continue pending an October trial on Planned Parenthood’s chal-lenge to the law.Endangered blue, humpback whales invade California coastal waters

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Grab your camera and binoculars: There’s rarely been a better time to go whale-watching off the Califor-nia coast.

Tourists from around the world have been fl ocking to Monterey Bay to catch a glimpse of the mas-sive marine mammals, including impressive numbers of blue whales, the largest animals on earth.

Longtime observers say they’ve seen a sharp increase in endangered blue and hump-back whales feeding near California shores.

(AP) — Louisiana Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain says none of the salmonella-tainted can-taloupes that recently killed two people and sickened 141 nation-wide have been traced to Louisi-ana.

The CDC reported the salmo-nella outbreak is linked to contam-inated cantaloupe grown in south-western Indiana. The outbreak comes a year after cantaloupes contaminated with listeria from Colorado killed at least 30 people and sickened 146.

Strain told the News-Star Monday that consumers should take safety precautions when eat-ing any produce.

Israeli clowns pioneer new medical treatments, laughter therapy

JERUSALEM (AP) — Doctors in Israel are beginning to believe in the power of clowning around.

Over the last few years, Israeli clowns have been popping into hos-pital operating rooms and intensive care units with balloons and kazoos in hand, teaming up with doctors to develop laughter therapies they say help with disorders ranging from pain to infertility.

They say it’s time for the medical community to recog-nize medical clowns as legitimate paramedical practitioners.

More gas bubbles detected in Grand Bayou area, site discovered

NAPOLEONVILLE (AP) — Lo-cals are reporting more gas bub-bles in Grand Bayou.

Offi cials at the Assumption Parish Police Jury said Tuesday a small bubble site was discov-ered near a massive sinkhole in Assumption Parish. Residents have been reporting other gas bubbles and tremors in the area for months.

The sinkhole swallowed up an acre of bald cypress trees Aug. 3. It has since grown to the size of a football fi eld.

No salmonella-tainted cantaloupes traced to La., says Ag commissioner

An invasive crop pest has devastated some Louisiana farm-ers’ sugarcane and rice produce since 2008.

The Environmental Protec-tion Agency awarded the LSU AgCenter $49,956 to monitor and document the spread of the Mexican rice borer, along with the Louisiana Department of Agri-culture and Forestry. Entomology professor Mike Stout, one of the grant participants, said the grant will also allow the AgCenter to add the information to a national database and hold experiments to learn more about the severity of the pest.

“They’re called borers be-cause the larvae tunnel their way into the rice plant,” Stout said. “They basically cut off the supply

of the nutrients to the grain. It can result in basically the complete loss of grain from the rice plant.”

The pest has been on the move from the Rio Grande Valley for 20 years and arrived in Calca-sieu, Jefferson Davis, Cameron and Beauregard parishes recently, according to grant writer Blake Wilson.

“It is currently only reaching population levels high enough to cause economic damage in a small number of rice fields near Vin-ton, La., although it has wreaked havoc in rice and sugarcane as it has moved across Texas,” Wilson wrote in an email.

Wilson added that the pest is “moving eastward at roughly 10 miles a year and is expected to in-fest the entire Louisiana rice and sugarcane industry by 2035.”

By 2035, the state could lose up to $220 million annually of sugarcane revenue and $40 mil-lion in rice revenue, Wilson said.

Acadia Parish rice farmer Dwayne Zaunbrecher said he had a crop infestation a few years ago,

and the Mexican rice borer was considered a possible cause of loss. He has not heard of the pest since, though he said he is con-cerned about its move across the state.

“Anything that’s going to af-fect rice I’m worried about. Be-cause of where we are in Acadia Parish, we don’t have the opportu-nity to switch crops,” Zaunbrech-er said. “We can [only] raise rice, soybeans, crawfish and cattle.”

Wilson said “there is little chance of eliminating or eradi-cating this pest” since it can re-produce on several grassy weed species, but with this grant, re-searchers can “slow the spread and minimize ecumenic losses.”

The grant will ultimately al-low farmers to see “hot spots” of the pests on an interactive online database based on the information LSU AgCenter uploads.

The University’s Army ROTC changed in command June 15 when Lawrence Burns took the po-sition of Professor of Military Sci-ence, which Lt. Col. John Wright formerly held. Master Sgt. Clay Usie took over the role of military science instructor.

Scholarship and Enrollment Officer Capt. William Conger said there is a change in command usu-ally about every three years be-cause a typical command in the army is 18 months. An extra year is given so the new leader can ad-just and get to know the cadets.

Different branches rotate their leaders at different times, he said.

Both Burns and Usie com-peted with candidates across the country for the position at the Uni-versity. For Burns, LSU was his top choice among other colleges.

“I competed,” Burns said. “I fought for this job, and now every day it’s like being at Disneyland.”

As with any new leadership, Burns said he will make changes in the University’s ROTC pro-gram, but the framework will re-main the same.

He will add an organization of cadets in the Tiger Battalion and implement internal system chang-es.

Conger said each new leader brings in unique experiences that help the program, and the changes have always been positive.

There will be new initiatives used for recruiting and community

outreach. All changes will help re-fine the program, Usie said.

“We won’t be a stranger to the LSU campus,” he said.

Usie holds a liberal arts asso-ciate degree from Excelsior Col-lege, an online school, and is cur-rently working on undergraduate work. He has been in active duty for 17 years and has served seven combat deployments during his service in the U.S. Army.

Burns began his military ca-reer by joining the Louisiana Army National Guard in 1987 after mov-ing from Illinois.

He attended Southeastern Louisiana University for two years before going to the University of New Orleans where he earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical en-gineering. He has a Master of Sci-ence in management, and he went on active duty in 1993.

As the professor of military science, Burns is responsible for the entire program, including its accomplishments and failures. He also works to motivate cadets to be better citizens and leaders, he said.

Usie is a senior enlistment of-ficer and senior military instructor, along with the primary instructor of the marksmanship courses.

Burns, a commissioned of-ficer, will teach the senior cadets and prepare them for entering the Army.

“I’m responsible for the health, morale, welfare and readi-ness of all of my military cadre, as well as government service civil-ians,” Burns said.

There are four levels of the ROTC program, and beginning with the third level, students must sign a contract to be commissioned in the Army, Burns said. Both he and Usie said their goal is to pre-pare the students for commence-ment and an Army commission.

Both men expressed their pride in the University and their excitement to work with the Uni-versity’s ROTC program.

Burns said he carried around an LSU flag whenever he went to Iraq and Hawaii.

“It’s my dream to go into work every day and to be in the shadow of Tiger Stadium,” he said.

Army ROTC sees changes

The recently-renovated East Laville residential hall surged with enthusiasm as students unloaded mini-fridges and laundry baskets on the fi rst day of offi cial residential hall move-in, Aug.16.

“The recent renovations to East and West Laville residential halls mark the fi rst time the community is together. It is a change having all of them together,” said Granger Bab-cock, the associate dean of the Honors College and Rector of the Laville residential halls.

The Honors College community completes its co-curricular work at the French House with honors class-es relating to lectures taking place within the residential halls.

The French House, the Honors College’s community center, is un-dergoing a two-part renovation of its own.

An exterior renovation includ-ing new windows has been recently completed, so now the only part re-maining of the beautifi cation proce-dure is interior work, Babcock said.

Amid their housing and

academic building changes, Honors College students will also perform new kinds of service this year.

“This year, students will engage in tutoring English as a second lan-guage to students within the East Baton Rouge Parish school system,” Babcock said.

He said the “shared reading” program within the Honors College emphasizes the College’s 2012-13 theme of service.

“Honors College students ask a lot about their housing. East and West Laville renovations create a

campus within a campus,” said Drew Lamonica Arms, the Director of Fellowship Ad-vising for the Hon-ors College

Babcock said he suspects the Honors College enrollment is up

this year, but did not know the exact fi gures.

Honors College Psychology freshman Karyn Warner moved into West Laville residential hall Aug. 16 .

“When I was touring West Laville and seeing the renovations in East Laville, it was an incentive. The other dorms looked old, and the Honors College buildings were getting new paint and updates,” she said.

Honors College starts new service

Situated between the University and Old South Baton Rouge stands Tiger Town — an area with history dating back to the early 1920s .

But fi res, crime and poor man-agement contributed to a slow de-cline in appearance. Until recently, broken sidewalks, decaying build-ings and crime were the most no-table features of Tiger Town and the Northgate community, according to University archivist Barry Cowan .

“When I went to school here, in the late ’80s, it was sort of a de-crepit area,” Cowan said. “Crime and absent landlords have been the real problems... Chimes Street used to also be a popular hangout spot for some thuggish biker gangs.”

Highland Coffees owner Clarke Cadzow explained that crime often hurts the reputation of the area.

“We actually don’t see a whole lot here,” Cadzow said. “If the area looks nice and looks like it doesn’t have crime, then that will help.”

LSU Police Department spokes-man Cory Lalonde agreed.

“For the most part, crime is spread out,” he explained. “There is no one particular hotspot.”

Members of the Northgate Mer-chants Association are also working against the forces of history in order to restore the area to its former glory.

Cadzow said the association fi nished putting in a brick sidewalk over the summer.

“We also added bike racks and some benches,” he said. “When peo-ple walk by, they are going to see it and think, ‘this area must be special.’ That is really what we want to con-vey; the area has a lot of history and it is important to the community and LSU.”

But local homeowners are also concerned about shedding negative connotations, according to Mary Duchein , who owns properties in the area.

“I love seeing the area im-prove,” Duchein said. “There have been wonderful improvements since I purchased the properties a few years ago. We talk to each other oc-casionally, and it is clear that we all really care about making it a better place.”

Ongoing improvements in-clude renovations to two properties near the end of Carlotta Street, which were recently purchased by realtor Mike Doiron. The Department of Public Works is also working to im-prove the area’s sewer system as part of the city’s $1.3 billion Sanitary Sewer Overfl ow project .

According to Cadzow, Tiger Manor, an apartment complex locat-ed on State Street, has also played a part in improving the area.

“They have really done a tre-mendous job, leading by exam-ple,” Cadzow said. “Tiger Manor

purchased the apartments that sit in front of their complex and did a lot to bring them back from being less than attractive.”

Tiger Manor paved sidewalks and added streetlights that stretch to Circle K on the corner of State Street and Highland Road .

The complex tore down a State Street house this summer to make way for a pedestrian walkway and added offi ces, Duchein said.

There are several other proj-ects in the works. Cadzow said the Northgate Merchants Association is currently “pushing hard to make the area more bike-friendly and improve sidewalks in the area,” but also has long term plans to install a parking garage.

and asks them to present their case,” she said.

Jenkins retired in 2007 to Col-leyville, Texas, but retook the reins in May despite his family’s wishes, when the Board of Supervisors ousted former System President John Lombardi and asked Jenkins to fill in as interim system presi-dent. And when former Chancellor Michael Martin relinquished his duties in June to become the sys-tem president of the Colorado State University System, Jenkins was named interim chancellor as well.

“It was not an easy deci-sion,” Jenkins said. “But I felt I had enough vigor to help in

the transition.”His vigor to be back comes

from his love for the University, his wife said.

“There’s an ambiance, a posi-tive attitude. Students believe in themselves, and I find it inspira-tional,” Jenkins said.

Holding two positions is try-ing, Jenkins said, but he enjoys both.

On an average day, Jenkins wakes at 5 a.m., walks around the University Lakes and is usually in his office by 7 a.m. He works through the day and gets to bed around 10 p.m.

Jenkins, a Roman Catholic, also tries to attend weekday Masses as often as he can at Christ the King

Parish and Catholic Student Center on the University’s campus where he also attends Sunday Mass.

“Being chancellor, I can serve the campus, and I enjoy being on campus and dealing with students, faculty and staff,” he said.

As interim system president, Jenkins enjoys the “challenges” of dealing with the LSU System’s numerous institutions and with the legislature.

While the job can become de-manding, Jenkins still likes to walk around campus and talk to students.

He took time out of a Board of Supervisors retreat at Pennington Biomedical Research Center on Saturday to go back to campus and greet freshmen.

Lindsay said Jenkins’ efforts to meet with students and faculty are among his greatest attributes.

“He’s also a good listener and has quite the memory,” she said.

During his five years away from the University, Jenkins spent his time with his wife, three of his four children and his nine grand-children in Texas.

“I believe grandparents these days have a significant role in rais-ing children,” he explained.

His wife said he also serves as a role model for their grandchil-dren.

“He’s always available for counsel,” she said. “To sit and talk.”

Jenkins also worked on two books during his time off. One is

an autobiography and the other details his administrative experi-ences working with others to help evacuees after Hurricane Katrina.

“It’s more personal and more about individuals who became he-roes but weren’t recognized,” he said. “I have to correct that.”

While he misses his wife and family in Texas, Jenkins said he’s fully committed to the University as long as he is needed.

“My strength and conviction come from a deep belief in the goodness of others, and I’ll use those beliefs as I serve this state.”

The Paul M. Hebert Law Cen-ter could add a new energy law program to its curriculum if the Louisiana Board of Regents ap-proves it today.

The Energy Law Center would give students the opportu-nity to earn their Juris Doctorate or Master of Laws degree in a new energy concentration. The fi eld of study would give students wish-ing to work in energy fi nance or energy taxation fi elds a leg-up in the job market, said Law Center

Chancellor Jack Weiss .“Recognize the obvious: LSU

A&M and LSU AgCenter already have signifi cant valuable pro-grams that are highly relevant to anyone wanting to have expertise in energy law,” Weiss said.

He said engineering and busi-ness classes, paired with classes at the Energy Law Center , would serve as a “double threat” in the “interdisciplinary program.”

Financially, the Energy Law Center will be made possible be-cause of a $600,000 donation that established the Nesser Family En-dowed Chair in Energy Law in

2011 . The state matched the dona-tion with $400,000 .

Weiss said the Law Center is planning a campaign to raise en-dowments, and he said the pro-gram will directly correlate with the state’s energy economy.

still has a few years of planning and fundraising before orange cones and steamrollers swarm the roadways.

“This is directly related to the congestion in that area,” Guillory said. “There’s a lot of traffi c, as any-one who travels it knows.”

Davis Dicharry , owner of Brew-Bacher’s Grill , sat on a bar stool on a rainy afternoon last week and point-ed to a seemingly endless stream of cars in both directions down Nichol-son .

“Every day I watch traffi c sit like this from 2 p.m. until about 6:30 ,” he said. “You get one guy turning left [from Nicholson] and the light goes a whole cycle without anyone being able to turn.”

Dicharry has weathered con-struction before at his three other Ba-ton Rouge Brew-Bacher’s locations. For the Bluebonnet Road location, the addition of two lanes and a me-dian on Bluebonnet between Perkins Road and Burbank Drive several

years ago made traffi c a nightmare for about a year. But business has grown ever since, thanks in part to the lane expansion, he said.

“The short-term effects of the project don’t outweigh the long-term benefi t of what happens,” he said.

John Nguyen , owner of Ameri-can Mart on the corner of Nicholson and Lee Drive agreed.

“Accidents happen all the time,” he said.

He talked about the daily traffi c backlog in front of his store on Nich-olson and said he believes expansion will ultimately be good for both his business and residents in the area.

The reported average daily traf-fi c for the intersection was about 25,000 cars in 2009 , said John Snow , who works as a liaison between the city and the project engineers. By 2029 , that number is expected to rise by about 50 percent, he said.

According to estimates from a 2009 traffi c study, there were about 28,000 cars per day three years ago on Nicholson from Brightside to

Gourrier. That number is expected to double by 2030.

The two projects cost about $35 million total, which is mainly funded by a half-cent sales tax voters passed in 2005 for the Green Light Plan , Snow said.

The intersection project is cur-rently in the right-of-way phase , which involves the city purchasing privately owned land needed to be-gin construction, Snow said.

Guillory said no businesses will be closed or moved as a result of the acquisitions.

Since Nicholson is a state road with a railroad and many utilities, hashing out the funding and con-struction details is time-consuming and tricky, Guillory said.

“Anyone who goes through [the intersection] once we fi nish is going to see a tremendous decrease in wait time,” he said.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera is so bad at cheating he got caught twice.

After becoming the latest Major League Baseball player to test posi-tive for using a banned substance, Cabrera said all the right things.

“My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used,” Cabrera said in a state-ment shortly after his suspension was announced. “I am deeply sorry for my mistake, and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Fran-cisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down.”

His current situation would be completely different if he had stayed true to his statement, accepted his punishment and moved on.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Cabrera made the terrible de-cision to try and fight his 50-game suspension. Fighting the suspension wasn’t the problem — it was the way he tried to convince the MLB of his innocence where he went astray.

Soon after the news of Cabrera testing positive for a banned sub-stance, the MLB discovered one

of the most incompetent cover-ups ever.

The New York Daily News reported that one of Cabrera’s as-sociates, Juan Nunez, purchased a website for $10,000 that apparently sold the product that caused his

positive test.There was only one problem:

the product didn’t exist.After seemingly placing the

blame solely on himself, Cabrera made himself look terrible by try-ing to hatch a scheme only Bernie

Madoff could be proud of.It’s one thing to take responsi-

bility for your own actions, but quite another to attempt to save face once you realize you’re in trouble.

Did Melky and his associates really think they wouldn’t get caught?

It’s embarrassing Cabrera sub-mitted the ruse as evidence to prove he wasn’t at fault for the positive test. The MLB quickly saw through the scheme and upheld Cabrera’s 50-game suspension.

Smooth move, Melky. What was a fairy tale sea-

son turned into a nightmare for the 28-year-old in the blink of an eye.

Cabrera was having a career season in San Francisco. He was named the 2012 All-Star Game MVP just a month ago and was bat-ting a sky-high .346 while leading the league in hits.

His stellar play was the main reason the Giants were vying with the Los Angeles Dodgers for AL West supremacy. Now, San Fran-cisco’s chances of making the post-season take a drastic hit without Ca-brera’s consistency in the lineup.

My only question is how did the MLB not notice Cabrera’s increased testosterone levels earlier?

From the 2010 to 2011 season, Cabrera saw his batting average soar from .255 to .305, his home run total

jump from four to 18 and his RBI to-tal nearly double.

Coincidence? I think not.Trying to gain a competitive

advantage on the baseball diamond will also make a huge dent in Ca-brera’s bank account. This is the fi-nal year of his contract, and he was expecting a big payday during the offseason once he hit the free agent market.

Not anymore.It’s impossible to calculate how

much Cabrera’s mistake will cost him, but he won’t see anything close to the amount of dough an untainted 2012 season would have produced.

If a man is only as good as his word, what do we make of Ca-brera now? His credibility has been completely thrown out the window. Anything he says or does from now on will be questioned.

Cabrera’s tumultuous encounter with performance-enhancing drugs should be a lesson to other future MLB players looking to improve their games artificially — once you stack, you can never go back.

The LSU swimming and div-ing teams will compete against some of the nation’s best this season, es-pecially with the addition of top-25 stalwart Texas A&M to the South-eastern Conference.

Swimming Coach Dave Geyer and Diving Coach Doug Shaffer an-nounced the schedule they said is purposefully difficult to best prepare the Tigers for the most important part of the season.

“Knowing how competitive our conference is, we always try to line up meets with not only the best in the SEC, but also the best in the

country,” Geyer said in a news re-lease. “Ultimately all of our compe-tition is used as a primer and founda-tion for the SEC Championships and the NCAA Championships.”

The men’s and women’s teams both kick off the season Sept. 22 against Centenary in Shreveport, La., before returning to the LSU Na-tatorium for the annual Purple and Gold Intrasquad on Sept. 28.

The women’s squad will then go on the road to face Vanderbilt on Oct. 10 in the first of three away meets in-volving either the men’s or women’s squad.

“The men will venture to [Southern Methodist University on Jan 12.] for the first time since

1997, and the women will travel to Vanderbilt — a team we have yet to compete against in a dual meet,” Geyer said.

The women’s team will also com-pete alone against Tulane on Oct. 26 in New Orleans.

Both squads travel to Auburn on Oct. 20 for an early test against a men’s and women’s squad that finished last season ranked No. 8 and No. 3 in the NCAA, respectively.

LSU hosts Alabama on Nov.

2 for the team’s first SEC dual-meet, the day before the Crimson

Tide football team squares off against the Tigers on the gridiron.

Last season, Alabama and LSU’s men’s squads went down to the final event to decide a winner, with the Ti-gers narrowly beat-ing the Crimson Tide, 151-149.

Texas A&M’s No. 6 women’s squad and No. 18 men’s squad will host LSU for the first time in conference play

on Jan. 19.“Obviously Texas A&M added

as an in-conference matchup enhanc-es our meet strength,” Geyer said.

Beginning Jan. 25, both LSU squads will take part in a two-day home quad-meet against Houston, Rice and Tulane before beginning the SEC Championships, which begins Feb. 19 in College Station, Texas.

Those who qualify will partici-pate in the NCAA Championships beginning March 21 in Indianapolis, Ind.

The Tigers have fielded a dominant football program in Coach Les Miles’ tenure, winning two national titles, two Southeast-ern Conference championships and five bowl games.

This success has been pow-ered by LSU’s ability to secure the Louisiana recruiting scene. Of the 179 recruits that LSU has signed since the beginning of the Miles era in 2006, 99 were from Louisi-ana.

By recruiting so heavily in Louisiana, LSU is enrolling 55 percent of its scholarship athletes from the state that produces the most NFL players on a per capita basis according to the 2010 census.

Saturday nights in Tiger Sta-dium are one of the biggest draws to recruits coming out of Louisiana who were raised surrounded by LSU fans.

“Every kid in Louisiana grows up knowing about the Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium,” junior safety Eric Reid said.

Tiger Stadium and LSU’s ra-bid fan base are huge assets when bringing recruits on visits to watch games in the stand.

“My best memory is coming to the Florida game in 2009 when [Florida] stomped on the eye,” Reid said. “The crowd was going nuts. I needed to grab Advil after the game it was so loud.”

Of LSU’s 22 starters this sea-son, 16 are projected to be from Louisiana. This doesn’t include the stable of homegrown running backs that make up one of the na-tions best rushing attacks.

“It’s just nice knowing you’re coming somewhere close to your family and friends,” said running back Alfred Blue. “Playing with guys from your home state just adds to that level of familiarity.”

With the majority of players

coming from the same state — some even from the same high school — the incoming freshmen have a support system they can lean on during their first year.

“The guys that come in from the same high school know each other a lot of the time,” said senior guard Josh Dworaczyk. “Guys like [junior defensive end Barkevious] Mingo coming from West Monroe are always pretty close.”

Being the most prominent football program in Louisiana gives LSU an advantage over other big SEC programs that are forced to compete with in-state rivals for top-ranked recruits.

“I grew up wanting to play football at LSU,” Reid said. “Both my mom and dad went here, so this has always been my dream school.”

Another key to LSU’s recruit-ing success has been its ability to fit players into positions that accentu-ate their skill sets.

“When I was in high school I played defensive end,” Dworac-zyk said. “But after I came to camp here at LSU they wanted me to play offensive line so that was pretty exciting.”

Bennie Logan had a similar journey. He was first recruited as a

defensive end, and now he’s con-sidered one of the best defensive tackles in the country after posting 9.5 tackles for loss last year.

Miles is LSU’s ace in the hole. Miles has developed a reputation as one of the nation’s best recruit-ers, and it’s his people skills that help him most while on in-home visits with prospects’ parents.

“He’s a player’s coach, so he would ask me what I wanted to accomplish as a student-athlete,” Dworaczyk said. “When visiting with my parents, the first thing he talked about was my education, so of course my parents loved that.”

Even with LSU’s dominance in its home state, some of the top prospects will always get away.

Landon Collins was a five-star prospect coming out of Dutchtown High School and the No. 1 safety in the country. At the end of his

recruiting he had narrowed his choices to two: LSU and Alabama. He eventually chose Alabama, much to the dismay of his mother.

“When you’ve got guys from Louisiana going to different schools, especially in the SEC, it creates a rivalry,” Dworaczyk said. “We’ll definitely try to give them a good hit or two during the game, but at the end of the day we all re-spect each other.”

With another strong year of in-state recruiting — 12 of 22 com-mits up to this point — LSU is looking to continue its strong Loui-siana base.

“Playing under the lights, it’s just something that you don’t for-get,” Reid said.

Lee: ‘New-Look’ offense necessarySOCCER

Chris AbshireSports Writer

LES MILES, from page 7

At any level of soccer, goals are a tough commodity to acquire.

The LSU soccer team knows this better than most, as coach Brian Lee said the Tigers are switching offensive philosophies to replace 2011 All-Southeastern Conference striker Taryne Bou-dreau , who graduated in May.

“We want to rely more on a team attack than the brilliance of one player,” Lee said.

Boudreau was nothing short of brilliant last season, scoring 12 goals and notching six assists — contributing in 53 percent of LSU’s 2011 scoring — during her fi rst and only season in the attack-ing third.

Lee said his preferred style is built around wide midfi elder runs, more crosses, better set pieces and fewer goals from lengthy distances.

It’s an approach resembling that of the 2009 squad, which aver-aged 2.3 goals per match.

That team was Lee’s most suc-cessful team at LSU, posting a 15-4-5 record and bowing out in the second round of the NCAA Tour-nament on penalty kicks.

Senior forward Carlie Banks might enjoy a return to that sea-son’s play. As a freshman on that year’s squad, Banks enjoyed her best season by far, netting seven goals and four assists.

“We’ve defi nitely started

being more aggressive in prac-tice,” Banks said. “It’s similar to 2009, how we’re pushing the [mid-fi elders] up the wings and angling crosses toward the goal.”

Junior Addie Eggleston and redshirt sophomore Kaley Blades formed a trio with Banks that was erratic but promising in support of Boudreau last season, combining for nine goals and 14 assists.

Shifty midfi elder Natalie Martineau , who paced the Tigers with 10 assists last season, also graduated.

But even with Boudreau’s breakout season and Martineau’s maneuvering, LSU still struggled to fi nd the net last fall. The Tigers tallied just 34 goals in 22 match-es and were outscored 7-0 in two postseason blowouts.

The 2010 team was worse of-fensively, barely averaging a goal per game and being shut out in 10 matches.

Last August, Lee said a team struggling for goals usually needs a creative change, prompting him to move Boudreau forward early last season.

Boudreau had toiled in the defensive half most of her career before eventually leading the SEC in 2011 conference goals, and LSU may need a similarly unexpected spark in 2012.

That spark could come from sophomore Alex Arlitt — a defen-sive midfi elder most of last season — who scored the game-winning goal to defeat Oklahoma, 1-0 , in

Monday night’s season opener.Lee said Arlitt has one of the

strongest legs on the team, but he’s not looking for a single player to dominate possession or scoring in the Tigers’ “new-look, aestheti-cally pleasing” offense.

“It’s just not fair to expect any player to step up and fi ll the void that’s been left by Taryne,”

Lee said. Some combination of LSU

strikers may have to fi ll it, or the Tigers could suddenly fi nd goals to again be a scarce entity.

they combined for 1,463 yards — more than half the Tigers’ rushing yards in 2011.

Miles said the other backs per-formed well Tuesday, led by sopho-more Kenny Hilliard.

Miles also praised the perfor-mances of multiple freshmen in Tuesday’s scrimmage, including Jalen Mills and Jalen Collins who are Tyrann Mathieu’s presumed re-placements.

“I think Jalen Collins and [Jalen] Mills are going to be very, very good corners,” Miles said.

Miles said he’s also comfort-able with the Tigers’ punt returner options after Mathieu’s dismissal.

Sophomore wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is slated to replace Ma-thieu in returning punts with sopho-more Jarvis Landry also seeing time at the position.

“I’m not afraid of Beckham be-ing back there in any way,” Miles said. “Landry as well. Both guys have tremendous ball skills.”

On defense, Miles said fresh-man linebacker Kwon Alexander made multiple big plays Tuesday and looks to see signifi cant playing time this fall.

The Tigers may need Alexander to make an immediate impact this season with linebacker being the Ti-gers’ least experienced position.

With little more than a week until game day, Miles said his team is looking forward to taking the fi eld in a game that actually counts.

“I think there’s a quality chip on their shoulder for play,” Miles said.

lineman, said Hill never stopped pestering him last fall about the LSU experience.

“He was always questioning me, wanting to know about how the team was and how I was doing,” Collins said. “You could tell he was eager.”

Eager might not be a strong enough word for Hill’s mindset since pleading guilty to misdemean-or carnal knowledge of a juvenile in January , allowing him to enroll at LSU and fi nally join the program.

Despite being in a crowded Tiger backfi eld, Hill has already turned heads, gaining 56 yards on 10 carries in March ’s Spring Game and earning signifi cant snaps in practice.

“I can’t imagine we’d think about redshirting him,” LSU coach Les Miles said . “He’s big, strong and talented. He’ll be ready.”

Junior running back Michael Ford called Hill a “nifty, fast run-ner who can lower the boom,” in a similar vein to sophomore Kenny Hilliard .

Those rave reviews reached

a fever pitch after a drastic weight loss. Despite training last fall, Hill said he reached almost 260 pounds, but has since cut nearly 30 pounds, close to his anticipated playing weight of 225 pounds.

“I was playing catch-up with these guys in the spring,” Hill said, point-ing to his back-fi eld comrades. “I went from sitting on the couch to going against Sam Montgomery and [Barkevious] Min-go . They’re pretty fast, you know?”

For Hill, though, there’s far more to catch up on than performance.

He wants the memories. LSU was the backdrop for his whole football career, a program he admit-tedly became so familiar with that it became old hat.

“I came to all the LSU recruit-ing visits and went to all the games for several years,” he said. “Going to one became ‘just another home game.’ I took that for granted, too.”

Never again, Hill swears. Not after last fall’s exile.

Hill never uses the word re-demption when talking about his re-turn — he chooses “surreal” instead, a decidedly mellow word to associ-

ate with a runner known for his bru-tal style.

Instead of hit-ting defenders, Hill can’t wait to hit the Tiger Stadium tun-nel, the chute that propels the Tigers in front of more than 92,000 ador-ing fans.

“That’s the moment I’ll real-

ize my second chance is here,” Hill said. “That whole year of doubt and frustration will be for something positive when I look up and the sta-dium’s in front of me. I picture it be-ing pretty surreal.”

the watch list for the 2012 Mackey Award , given to the top tight end in college football. Last season, he caught seven passes for 96 yards with one touchdown .

Studrawa said Clement and sophomore Nic Jacobs will be more

involved in the passing game than tight ends were last season. As a group, LSU’s tight ends caught only 28 passes total last season.

“The more we show the coach-es that we can make catches and make big plays, the more chances we will get,” Jacobs said.

Other returning tight ends

include sophomore Travis Dickson and senior Tyler Edwards . Both were used primarily as blockers last year.

Come Together

Political dialogue can get frustrating here at the University.

Over the past few years we’ve fallen victim to the noto-rious Southern trap of political isolation: We hold the line, fight change and discourage uncom-fortable topics — uncomfortable meaning nontraditional.

But the fault doesn’t entirely lie on the culture. Social change requires movers — movers we have been lacking to an alarming degree.

I remember, as a young fresh-man, attending my one and only meeting with Atheists, Human-ists and Agnostics (AHA). There were about six in attendance in-cluding the speaker, and while one slept through the discussion, another bickered with the speaker on the semantics of metaphysics — enthralling, indeed.

I also remember, as a report-er about a year ago, when getting photographs of Spectrum mem-bers at public events was about as hard as prying information from the University’s Athletic Depart-ment.

And then that same year, I noticed another missing tooth in our crooked Southern smile: We had no Democratic student group to stand against our under-performing College Republicans chapter — but it’s easy to get lazy with no competition.

We can hardly call ourselves a community — or university — without these crucial voices. We need them to make us think and then rethink, to make us ar-gue and grow and learn about the world and people we live with.

And change is finally on the horizon, thanks to renewed initiative among our beloved fringe groups.

We now have a budding Col-lege Democrats chapter, a more active AHA and deeper collabo-ration among various social ad-vocacy groups, including Spec-trum.

“It’s easier to oppress a group when they have no voice,” said Spectrum President Shane Cone. “It’s important to show that there are a lot of different viewpoints at this university.”

Cone’s sentiments are mir-rored by AHA President Alex-ander Fuglaar, who’s working to encourage deeper collaboration between marginalized student groups.

“When their rights are in jeopardy, so are ours,” said Fug-laar. “When one group starts tak-ing one minority’s rights, they don’t necessarily stop with that one minority.”

It is indeed easier to stereo-type and suppress individuals about whom one knows little, and this applies to atheists, feminists, the LGBTQ community and nu-merous other minority groups, es-pecially religious ones. Progress by any of these groups is progress for all marginalized individuals.

“Atheists are right there with homosexuals — they are also commonly mistrusted and dis-liked just for their views,” Cone elaborated.

And these groups should use that fact by supporting one anoth-er for more mobilization.

We need engagement be-tween political parties on cam-pus. We need engagement be-tween religious and nonreligious groups.

Mutual endorsement and advocacy is one step in the right direction, but there remains work to do.

Our minority groups need to speak up and be proud — and vis-ibly so.

Too often comments refer-encing “our backwards Southern culture” come from individuals

who either do not publicly own up to their beliefs or do nothing to foster change, like complain-ing about politics without voting. Band together and make a change — the community needs you.

College is about exposure and experience. Classes will do half the work, but the rest is up to the community and the myriad interest groups within it.

Homosexual students and allies walk through a rainbow door as part of Spectrum’s 2010 “Coming Out Day” at Free Speech Plaza.

Life is a result of the choices we make. It’s really that simple, they tell me.

When Mitt Romney, the pre-sumptive Republican presidential nominee, selected Representa-tive Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate earlier this month, he set up a crystal clear policy choice for the upcoming election.

Ryan is seen as a “visionary” by conservatives and has gal-vanized the Republican Party’s charge for deep cuts in govern-ment spending and lower taxes — but any investigation into his plans will show otherwise.

As Chairman of the House Budget Committee, he authored the 2013 Republican Federal Budget. This budget, at first glance, appears to be the work of a true fiscal conservative who has actually done the math and laid out serious, long-term budget proposals.

But under careful obser-vation, Ryan deserves no such credit.

What is scary is the degree to which this budget is blatantly tilt-ed against the lower and middle classes in an inconceivably cruel way.

More importantly, why should you be concerned about a vice presidential candidates’ pro-posed budget?

Because Ryan advocates a clear proposition: a fundamental scaling back of the role of the federal government. Consequent-ly, Romney has demonstrated that he represents this radical agenda by choosing Ryan as his running mate.

So, back to choices. Presi-dent Obama has released a fed-eral budget that has a far differ-ent vision for our country’s future than Ryan’s.

Taking a look at Ryan’s tax proposals, he plans on slashing marginal tax rates by more than 10 percent for top earners and corporations. Also, Ryan would eliminate taxes on foreign profits of U.S.-based multinationals.

The total revenue lost from these tax reductions is a whop-ping $4.3 trillion over the next decade, according to the nonpar-tisan Tax Policy Center.

Alternatively, President Obama proposes keeping taxes essentially the same or slightly decreasing them for lower- and middle-income Americans. How-ever, he calls for a rise in the top two income tax rates, each by 3 percent. Also, he would raise

the tax rate on capital gains and dividends by 5 percent for high-income individuals.

By implementing these two relatively small changes in tax rates, Obama’s budget would raise $2 trillion more in tax rev-enue than Ryan’s budget, accord-ing to the Congressional Budget Office.

To be clear, a viable debt re-duction program cannot rest sole-ly on the shoulders of wealthy in-dividuals, but it is undeniable that there is a gargantuan amount of potential revenue to be acquired by raising top tax rates.

Ryan plans to cut nearly $800 billion from Medicaid and other health programs aiding the poor. His budget also slashes $205 billion from Medicare and an additional $1.6 trillion from food stamps, welfare, federal em-ployee pensions and aid for farm-ers, according to the nonpartisan tax policy center.

Furthermore, Ryan’s bud-get considerably reduces federal funding to college scholarships, medical research and national parks, while Obama’s budget will invest in areas such as education and critical infrastructure — a vi-able attempt to spur growth by creating jobs amid a tepid recov-ery.

Once Ryan’s specific propos-als are added, there will be $4.3 trillion in tax revenue lost over the next decade, which is par-tially counteracted by the $2.7 trillion in spending cuts leading to — surprise — a budget deficit.

Ryan isn’t the fiscal hawk he claims to be.

Although Obama’s budget increases the deficit by a trillion more dollars than Ryan’s budget over the next decade, Obama doesn’t purport to be reducing the deficit.

He is much more concerned with creating economic growth and tackling the unemployment rate.

Don’t get me wrong — we do eventually need to come up with pragmatic solutions in tack-ling our long-run budget deficits, but now is not the time.

It was the British economist John Maynard Keynes who said “the boom, not the slump, is the time for austerity.” Following that logic, Obama is correct in choosing to promote jobs over deficits.

The probable question sit-ting on the tongues of modern-day Hamlets – passive Democrats – is: “To vote, or not to vote?”

National polls have Obama ahead in electoral votes with a high projection of him winning. Some believe he will merely walk back into the White House with ease, but that’s not the case.

The outcome of this year’s election rests in the hands of un-likely voters living in swing states.

Last week, after working alongside the Suffolk University Political Research Center, USA Today released a poll analyzing the profile of unlikely voters and non-voters for this year’s upcom-ing election. Ironically, the results show unlikely voters favoring Obama more than two to one over Romney.

The poll also showed 40 per-cent of eligible voters favoring Obama do not plan to vote this November. Their reasons include not having the time to vote, a dis-interest in politics, disliking the choice of candidates and believing their vote does not matter.

This is unfamiliar territory for the president.

In 2008, the Obama campaign manufactured its success largely because it was able to rally and motivate those who had not voted in the past – the largest number

of voters in election history since 1960 confirmed that. Not to men-tion his trendy “Change” slogan, which served as a caption to that weird Myspace-angle picture of himself.

This year’s election is dif-ferent. Obama must re-motivate Democratic voters who are dis-couraged by his failure to fulfill the promises he made in 2008.

“The Obama campaign is en-gaged in these efforts,” said Rob-ert Hogan, political science asso-ciate professor in an email. “But they are probably less likely to pay off as handsomely [this] time around.”

Indeed, and according to the USA Today poll, Republicans are more active in following the cam-paign than their counterpart.

In the swing states, this mani-festation of enthusiastic Repub-licans will prove problematic for Obama.

“Campaign resources are targeted mainly to battleground states where the outcome hangs in the balance,” Hogan said.

Among this year’s battle-ground states are those with a deeply rooted conservative history and states where the economy has declined since Obama has been in office.

Take Florida, a state that has suffered ever since Hurricane Obama rolled in, leaving a torn economy in its wake that caused home foreclosures and small busi-nesses to fail faster than Katrina broke the levees.

Nevada, a state that has been

slow to recover from the nation’s highest unemployment rate, is an Obama-made jackpot of a win for Romney. The only chance Obama has here is in appealing to lower-income families. These “lower-income” families were defined as “low-income” families before a certain individual was inaugu-rated in January 2009. Not a co-incidence.

Obama is not an idiot, though. His clever plan to create and tar-get a larger number in the poorer social class – now plural, classes – and preach about change to se-cure his re-election is absolutely genius.

But this country does not need its citizens to become poorer. This country needs a thriving economy, so its people can work and make money.

In order to do that, jobs must be available, and one of the ways jobs are created is in allowing small businesses the ability to grow. And in many of the swing states, destroying small business-es was something of a specialty for Obama, which is why Demo-crats are weary of showing up to the polls in November.

And why a majority of the swing states will favor Romney.
