The Daily Reveille - September 10, 2012

University students will have the opportunity to challenge them-selves on the UREC Challenge Pro-gram this semester.

LSU UREC Adventure Educa-tion will host open challenge course hours for University students to at-tempt the course without a group Oct. 14 and Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. to noon. The fi rst open hours were held Sunday.

Max Adams , challenge course facilitator and entomology graduate

student , said the University Student Recreational Complex decided to have open hours because the chal-lenge course is not well known on campus. He said UREC offi cials wanted to spread the word to bring in more students.

Matt Greenwald , mechanical engineering junior and challenge course facilitator , said the challenge course gives people a chance to confront their fear of heights.

The course features elements like a cargo net, climbing wall, swinging bridge and zipline ranging 20 to 35 feet above the ground.

“It brings people out of their comfort zone,” said Eric Alexander , natural resource ecology and man-agement junior .

Hanna Kennedy , international

studies senior , said the course forces people to communicate. The biggest challenge is teamwork, she said.

“Getting everyone to com-municate and work together is the hardest part,” Kennedy said. “Stu-dents are divided into teams, and sometimes it is easy to let the com-munication go.”

Tian Tian , chemistry graduate student, was one of the six students to attend last Sunday’s open hours.

Tian said she read about the opportunity online and didn’t think she would have another chance to participate in the course. She said she enjoys rock climbing at the UREC and wanted to try the chal-lenge course.

She said it wouldn’t be physi-cally possible to complete the course

by herself, so she appreciated the teamwork involved. Tian added she would do the course again and bring her friends next time.

Grant Dorsey , undeclared freshman, said most people could complete the course if they just ap-plied themselves.

“It’s great when you have a team — you rely on them and then you get to tease them when they don’t do it right,” Dorsey said.

Students who are interested must reserve their spots by the Fri-day before each date at the opera-tions desk in the Student Recreation Center. The cost is $5.

Dominating DefenseLSU sti� es powerful Washington o� ense

Tyler NunezSports Contributor

A drop in humidity Satur-day night may have made it a bit easier to breathe in Tiger Stadium, but that couldn’t stop the Huskies from being suffocated by LSU’s defense.

A week after a performance against North Texas that LSU coach Les Miles called “sloppy,” the Tigers came back with author-ity, handing Washington a 41-3 thrashing.

And while LSU looked supe-rior to Washington in virtually all phases of the game, the Tigers’ per-formance on defense was nothing short of dominant.

“The pass rush was very evi-dent tonight,” Miles said. “Our tackling was crisp. It’s what we needed to have happen. The defen-sive front played very well.”

The game started in Washing-ton’s favor after an Odell Beckham Jr. fumble on the opening kickoff return gave the away team posses-sion at the LSU 20-yard line . But then the LSU defense stepped in.

The Tigers held the Huskies to four yards on the drive, forcing them to kick a 34-yard fi eld goal . The stop resulted in Washington

Twin earthquakes’ survivors in China await essential supplies, assistance

BEIJING (AP) — Survivors of a series of earthquakes that killed 81 people and injured more than 800 in a mountainous area of south-western China desperately waited for more aid to arrive Sunday as jolting aftershocks kept fears high and hindered rescue efforts.

The latest victim was a 2-year-old child who was hit by a falling wall as an aftershock struck Sat-urday night, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.

The fi rst earthquakes struck Friday in a region of small farms and mines. Ebola outbreak in Haut-Uélé claims 15, of� cials urge disease education

GOMA, Congo (AP) — An out-break of the Ebola virus has killed 15 people in northeastern Congo and the local communities are quickly learning how frightening-ly deadly the disease is, and how to prevent its spread.

Health offi cials say the popu-lation lacks knowledge of Ebola and must learn that the tradition of washing of corpses before funer-als spreads the epidemic.

Although it is the ninth Ebola epidemic in Congo, it is the fi rst one in the Haut-Uélé territory, in northeastern Congo.

Doctor: Unclear if spinal injury will leave Tulane safety Walker paralyzed

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — It’s too soon to tell if Tulane safety Devon Walker will be paralyzed as the result of a spinal fracture he suf-fered while making a tackle, and the full extent of his injury may not be known for days, the team’s doctor said Sunday.

Dr. Greg Stewart, Tulane University’s director of sports medicine, said Walker remained in stable condition in the intensive care until of St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Okla. Physicians there will plan to do surgery on Walker in the coming days, he said.Shell begins petroleum drilling off of the northwest coast of Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — More than four years after Royal Dutch Shell paid $2.8 billion to the federal government for petro-leum leases in the Chukchi Sea, a company vessel on Sunday morning sent a drill bit into the ocean fl oor, beginning prelimi-nary work on an exploratory well 70 miles off the northwest coast of Alaska.

Drilling began at 4:30 a.m., said Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith. Shell Alaska vice president Pete Slaiby called it historic.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A deaf dolphin found stranded in March off the Louisiana coast is being taken to live among other dol-phins at a facility in Mississippi.

The 6-foot-6-inch dolphin will leave Tuesday for the Insti-tute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport because he would be unable to survive in the wild, said Suzanne Smith, rescue coordina-tor at the Audubon Nature Insti-tute.

Deafness is probably why the dolphin, nicknamed Sassafrass, was stranded in a couple of inches of water on a mudfl at where re-searchers found him March 6, Smith said Friday.

Levees in two Northeast parishes to be raised for � ooding protection

LAKE PROVIDENCE (AP) — Existing levees will be raised in two northeast Louisiana parishes starting in the next few weeks, to provide better protection from the Mississippi River.

The levees held during the fl ooding of 2011, but have settled gradually since being built in 1973, The News-Star of Monroe reported.

“This will make the system even stronger,” said Reynold Min-sky, president of the 5th Louisiana Levee District board.

Deaf dolphin rescued in La. to move to Miss. marine mammal facility

taking the lead, but it also led to an increase in energy and motivation along the LSU sideline.

“As a defense, we pride our-selves in stopping them and having the offense’s back,” said junior de-fensive tackle Bennie Logan. “Us getting the stop and [holding them to] three points was a big momentum boost.”

The opening drive was the only time Washington was able to even sniff the end zone as LSU imposed its will on the Huskies.

The Tigers allowed a mere 183 yards in total offense, leading the Southeastern Conference for the sec-ond consecutive week.

“We couldn’t even move the ball at fi rst,” Washington quarter-back Keith Price told reporters after the game. “We didn’t throw the ball well. We didn’t run the ball well.”

The Tigers never allowed Price

to get comfortable. The highly touted junior completed only 47.2 percent of his passes for 157 yards, well be-low his 2011 season average of 236 yards.

LSU forced Price to spend most of the night trying to avoid pressure, sacking him four times. The pressure led to an interception from freshman cornerback Jalen Mills.

“I actually felt it,” Price said. “I felt the pressure and I tried to get out a couple times, and you see I threw a pick trying to do too much.”

The Tigers recorded their fi rst sack of the season about 10 minutes into the fi rst quarter, when senior defensive end Lavar Edwards fl ew past the offensive line untouched and brought Price down from behind.

Edwards said after the game that his sack set the tone for the rest of his teammates, inspiring them to put even more pressure on the quar-terback.

The Tigers’ pressure up front

caused even more problems for the Huskies when they tried to run the ball. Going into the fourth quarter , the Huskies had 17 carries for zero yards before fi nishing the game with 24 carries for 26 yards.

“We just had a hard time on fi rst-and-10 football,” said Washing-ton coach Steve Sarkisian. “We were living on second-and-long, which put us in a great deal of third-and-longs.”

Washington sophomore tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins said he and his teammates were baffl ed by the talent on LSU’s defensive line, calling it the best he’s ever seen.

Despite LSU’s dominance on defense in both of its games, the Ti-gers are still not satisfi ed. After the game, players and coaches agreed there is still room for the team to grow.

Each side has its own story: the fables, tales of the national conventions

As personal attacks increase and election day draws closer, both Democrats and Republican used the spotlight at this year’s national convention to stretch the truth. From Obamacare to welfare, America’s leaders are being called on their bluffs.

These statements have been collected from speech transcripts, Factcheck.org and Politifact.com. Each quote comes from a speech at either the Democratic or Repub-lican national conventions.

DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS

Bill Clinton

Jack Markell Callista Gingrich

Mitt Romney

“Mitt Romney says he likes to � re people.”

Medicare will “go broke in 2016” if Romney carries out his plan to repeal the health-care law.

“After three years, the only thing Presi-dent Obama’s stimulus has produced is a series of broken promises.”

Delaware Gov. Markell put this in the context of a closing refi nery’s plight, which Romney did not intend.

Romney made the original statement in relation to wanting to allow Americans to fi re their healthcare provider.

Medicare will not go broke, although the hospital insurance trust fund would not be able to pay for hospital services. This does not include physician and prescription drug benefi ts.

Obama’s stimulus plan lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.7 percent and 1.8 percent.

“[Obama] weakened the respect for America abroad.”

The Pew Global Attitudes Project provided data that showed an increase in favorable views on America from President George W. Bush’s administration to President Obama’s.

when developing operating bud-gets, according to Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins.

If LSU Athletics earns a sur-plus of money during those five years, the University will also see an extra cut of the profits.

Of any surplus amounting to more than $3 million, 25 percent will be transferred to the University, and 50 percent will be transferred if the surplus exceeds $5 million. The policy also provides a one-time do-nation of $4 million to the Univer-sity for the fiscal year in addition to $5.5 million given this year, totaling $9.5 million.

Over the past four years, the state has cut 43.6 percent from the University’s appropriations. To ease the cuts, the University has boosted

self-generated funds by about $103 million, or more than 54 percent, mainly through tuition increases.

LSU Athletics Director Joe Al-leva said the policy is a “win-win” for both the University and LSU Athletics, allowing the University to share in the Athletic Department’s success and providing continuity in what he called a “random” track re-cord of past athletic donations to the University.

In 2011, the Board of Supervi-sors approved a $7.9 million LSU System Flagship and Excellence Fund, one-time additional support for the University using self-gen-erated money and interest earnings.

The new arrangement is the first of its kind, Alleva said.

“It will put LSU in a position of envy among all the universities in the country,” he said.

Jenkins added that he is pleased

with the approval. “This is so important,” he said.

“It’s clearly dependent upon our continued success.”

Student fees and football ticket prices will not rise as a result of the approval, Alleva said.

Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope called the policy “a huge step forward” for the University.

“It integrates Athletics into the University in a way no one else is doing,” Cope said. “It’s an example of LSU leading the nation.”

During the meeting, the Board also approved a $3.2 billion oper-ating budget for the LSU System — $445,388,799 of which was bud-geted for the Baton Rouge campus.

They couldn’t catch the ball. He couldn’t catch a break. Multiple drops by the LSU wide

receivers in their matchup with Wash-ington on Saturday masked a highly effi cient performance by junior quar-terback Zach Mettenberger .

“If you take the number of drops out of the equation and you look at the quarterback play, he was on the money,” said LSU coach Les Miles in the postgame news conference. “We would be well over 200 yards passing, which is kind of a landmark for us.”

An individual LSU quarterback has passed the 200 yard mark only three times in the past two seasons.

Mettenberger was fi ve yards away from that landmark, going 12-for-18 , but he would’ve been nearly perfect had the receivers not dropped the ma-jority of the incompletions.

Sophomore Odell Beckham Jr. acknowledged having dropped three passes after the game. Senior Russell Shepard mishandled a ball in the end zone, which would have doubled Mettenberger’s touch-down output. Junior James Wright also dropped a Mettenberger pass.

Had the receivers done their jobs, Mettenberger could have reached 94 percent completion, but he didn’t show any signs of frustration after the game.

“It’s part of the game; it happens,” Mettenberger said. “Things in the game are going to happen. You’ve got to keep rolling.”

Mettenberger wasn’t the only one plagued by unreliable hands. While it was a bit underthrown, junior running back Spencer Ware threw a catchable, trick-play pass to sophomore wide re-ceiver Jarvis Landry , who recorded a









NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Robert Griffi n III brought his Heisman Trophy swagger to New Orleans and made his NFL debut look like a Big Easy.

Showing a veteran’s composure by scrambling only when necessary, the dy-namic Redskins rookie quarterback tor-mented New Orleans’ defense with 320 yards passing and two touchdowns in his debut, and Washington held on for a 40-32 victory against the Saints on Sunday.

New Orleans hoped to open the season with a defi ant show of force in the wake of the bounty scandal that overshadowed its offseason. The team also got a boost Friday when a three-member appeals panel reinstated defen-sive end Will Smith and linebacker Jon Vilma, who had been suspended for their roles in the Saints’ alleged pay-for-pain bounty program.

Smith started, while Vilma, deemed unready to play after an offseason knee surgery, received a rousing ovation when he walked onto the fi eld to lead the Saints’ tradition pregame “Who Dat” chant.

Instead of riding that emotional high, the Saints spent nearly the entire game trying to keep up with a Redskins offense powered by youth. Griffi n com-pleted his fi rst eight passes, including an 88-yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon, and fi nished 19 of 26 with no intercep-tions and a passer rating of 139.9. He also scrambled for 42 yards.

Rookie Alfred Morris rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns. Receiver Al-drick Robinson, a second-year pro mak-ing his NFL regular-season debut, had a 5-yard touchdown catch among four re-ceptions for 52 yards.

The Saints never gave up, pulling to 40-32 on Darren Sproles’ 2-yard recep-tion from Drew Brees. But when Wash-ington required a fi rst down to all but put

the game away, Griffi n delivered a 22-yard strike to Logan Paulsen.

After that, the Redskins ran the clock down to 22 seconds before the Saints got the ball back. Brees’ desperation pass was intercepted by Reed Doughty near the Redskins’ goal line as time ran out.

That marked the second intercep-tion for Brees, who in 2011 competed a single-season record 71.2 percent of his passes, but managed to hit on only 46 percent (24 of 52) against Washington.

Brees still fi nished with 339 yards and three touchdowns, including 33 yards to Lance Moore and 20 tossed to Jimmy Graham. That might have been enough if not for Griffi n, the former Baylor star se-lected second overall in the draft.

Griffi n hardly could have started better. He completed all seven of his passes in the fi rst quarter, the last to Gar-con on a crossing route, with the receiver

Tigers not satisfied despite 2-0 record

Some college football teams grow complacent with success.

When placed on a pedestal for all the country to marvel at, it’s easy for a group of 18- to 22-year-old ath-letes to lose focus and shout at the top of their lungs, “Hey everybody, come see how good we look!”

After handing out a 41-3 drub-bing to Washington, sending the Huskies back to Seattle, Wash., with their tails between their legs, it’s a mentality that you couldn’t blame Coach Les Miles and the LSU foot-ball team for having.

With the win, the Tigers tied the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision record with 39 straight non-confer-ence wins in the regular season and also tied the school record of 19 straight victories in Tiger Stadium .

The offense was balanced. The defense was suffocating. To anyone outside of the football program, it appears the Tigers are running on all cylinders.

Not so fast, my friend.The Tigers “can’t get no satis-

faction.”“Every week we’re not satis-

fi ed,” said junior defensive tackle Bennie Logan after the game. “Even though we held them to three points

An lsureveille.com exclusive: Men’s golf places fourth in Georgia, women tee off season in S.C. tourney


In its third double overtime of the season, the LSU soccer team earned a draw with Florida Inter-national in a no-score game Friday night at LSU Soccer Stadium.

The Tigers (3-1-2) controlled the 110-minute game with 23 shots and 11 corner kicks while FIU had 10 shots and zero corner kicks. In a physical game, FIU committed 15 total fouls and drew one yellow card.

“To have 23 goals and 11 cor-ners, you’d like to get a goal out of it,” said LSU coach Brian Lee. “...We got to start winning these games.”

Freshman forward/midfielder Jade Kovacevic led the Tiger front line with eight total shots through-out the game. Sophomore forward Kaley Blades followed with five.

The Tigers’ best opportunity to score came from junior forward Addie Eggleston in the 29th minute when she shot from eight yards out following a corner kick by Kova-cevic. FIU goalkeeper Kaitlyn Sav-age saved the shot on a dive.

“Of course we want to score

some goals, but I think that will come with the more games we play,” said junior goalkeeper Me-gan Kinneman. “We were creating opportunities tonight, but we just weren’t finishing chances.”

FIU was led by junior forward Chelsea Leiva, who had four shots and goalkeeper Savage, who had six saves.

Kinneman saved the Tigers from another home loss with her two saves during the overtime periods, which were FIU’s most promising scoring opportunities. Kinneman had one-on-one series with both Leiva and FIU sopho-more forward Ashleigh Shim. Kinneman saved both attempts in close calls, but led the keeper to her third shutout of the season.

“A lot of it was just instinct and reaction,” Kinneman said. “I just had to judge when to come out and steal ground to cut off their angle.”

Today the Tigers host the University of Memphis (2-2), who is coming off of a 2-1 double overtime win against Vanderbilt. Memphis was led to victory by junior forward/midfielder Chris-tabel Oduro’s 87th-minute goal and freshman forward/midfielder

Diamond Simpson’s golden goal. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in

Tigers take two of three matches at Carolina Classic

The LSU volleyball team’s ar-duous non-conference schedule fi-nally concluded with back-to-back wins at the Carolina Classic in Cha-pel Hill, N.C.

LSU’s wins against Western Michigan and Middle Tennessee State were the first consecutive wins since Auburn and Georgia in November of last year.

“These two [matches] were must-have wins for us,” said LSU coach Fran Flory. “I’ve always been confident of this team — that’s why

I set them up with this schedule.”The Tigers had their best statis-

tical weekend of the season in Cha-pel Hill with a season-high 0.169 hitting clip for 126 kills and 19 ser-vice aces in the three matches.

Junior middle blocker Desiree Elliott led the offensive push with 39 kills during the tournament — a season-high for Elliot in a weekend series — which included a 0.389 hitting percentage, 19 kills and a four-block performance in the final match against Western Michigan.

Defensively, the Tigers post-ed 23 blocks while senior libero Meghan Mannari posted a trio of

double-digit dig performances, racking up 37 overall.

“Last night’s match, we were very efficient,” Flory said of the Western Michigan match. “Now we have an understanding of how to do what we need to do. We always knew what we had to do, but now we know how to do it.”

Freshmen Cati Leak and Khourtni Fears continue to see plenty of time on the court in non-conference play.

Leak is slowly emerging as this season’s breakout player, posting 19 kills and 24 digs in Carolina, which puts her at 64 kills and 66 digs

through the first nine games of her LSU career.

“The impact the freshmen have had isn’t a surprise, but more of a welcomed addition,” Flory said.

This is all despite the fact the Tigers have yet to steal as much as a set from any of the nation’s top teams.

A loss in straight sets to host North Carolina puts LSU’s record at 0-5 against teams ranked in the top 30.

LSU lost in every major sta-tistical category to North Carolina. The Tarheels posted a 0.294 hitting percentage and 41 kills compared to

a season-low 0.053 and 30 kills for the Tigers.

North Carolina also outdug LSU 49-44 and outblocked them 8-4.

The Carolina Classic marks the end of non-conference play for the Tigers as they start Southeastern Conference play with a road trip to Tuscaloosa to play Alabama on Fri-day, followed by an appearance in Columbia for a match against South Carolina on Sunday.

drop of his own.“Hopefully they bounce back

next week,” Mettenberger said.Wright led all receivers with

fi ve catches for 75 yards. Junior Kad-ron Boone made the most of his one catch, going 32 yards for Metten-berger’s lone score of the game. He also had a long touchdown catch in the game against North Texas.

Mettenberger said he was more comfortable this week and that he would continue to develop with more games under his belt. He had more time to throw than against North Texas as the pass protection was improved from last week, allow-ing the Huskies zero sacks.

“I’m really proud of the effort of the whole o-line tonight,” Metten-berger said. “I didn’t get touched, and that’s always a good thing.”

Miles said some of that in-creased stability was provided by senior Josh Dworaczyk . Dworac-zyk , who Mettenberger called the Tigers’ most reliable offensive line-man, was tabbed as the starter at left tackle when junior Chris Faulk went down with a season-ending knee

injury in preparation for the Huskies.It was Dworaczyk’s fi rst start

since the 2011 Cotton Bowl after his own knee injury kept him out the entirety of last season. He’d never started at left tackle but has had plen-ty of experience backing up the posi-tion in his six years at LSU.

“It’s something that me and [of-fensive coordinator Greg] Studrawa have always been on the same page, as far as moving me out to the left tackle position if anybody went down,” Dworaczyk said. “It fi ts my body style, so being able to get in there and give Zach some confi -dence off that edge, which is some-thing I tried to do tonight, hope-fully we can continue to build off of it.”

Dworaczyk ’s run blocking was also strong. Junior running back Alfred Blue scored the Tigers’ fi rst points of the game when he took a handoff to the left side and found nothing but green grass running be-hind Dworaczyk .

and 26 yards rushing, coach expects more of us.”

What more can you expect if you’re Miles ?

The Tigers would have shut out the Huskies had it not been for a fumble by Odell Beckham Jr. on the opening kickoff. The turnover gave Washington the ball in LSU territory and led to the Huskies converting their only three points of the night on a 34-yard fi eld goal from Travis Coons .

LSU has been nearly perfect in its fi rst two outings, outscoring its opponents 82-17 .

Despite the initial success, Lo-gan and the rest of his LSU team-mates know regular-season accom-plishments can only take a team so far.

“We went undefeated last year and lost in the championship. We have to take it one game at a time, but our goal is that national cham-pionship,” said junior running back Alfred Blue.

The members of the 2011 team who lost to Alabama in the BCS Na-tional Championship game will nev-er want to settle for runner-up.

Every time a player like Lo-gan or Barkevious Mingo becomes content with his performance, the

memory of walking off the fi eld while the scoreboard read 21-0 in the Crimson Tide’s favor makes them strive to play mistake-free football.

“There’s still missed assign-ments, still missed tackles down the line. Correcting those and getting as close to perfect as possible is our goal,” Mingo said.

Miles has molded a focused and motivated team that won’t rest until it raises the crystal football in Miami, Fla. When faced with the adversity of Tyrann Mathieu being dismissed or losing offensive tackle Chris Faulk to a knee injury for the remainder of the season, this team just rolls with the punches and keeps

putting together top-fl ight perfor-mances.

It’s not about individual acco-lades. It’s about winning and leaving no doubt to who was the best team on the fi eld any given night.

Having teammates who will never turn it down a notch and never let a good performance distract them from the ultimate goal of a national championship make this LSU foot-ball team a special collection of ath-letes.

There’s always room to get bet-ter. If holding a formidable PAC-12 foe to a fi eld goal doesn’t get LSU full of itself, nothing will.

The Tigers still feel like there’s work to do in order to reach the level of play they can be pleased with. If that’s the case, I can’t wait to see what the fi nished product will look like.

I feel sorry for Idaho if the Ti-gers fi gure out that formula by Sat-urday.

breaking away to give Washington a 10-7 lead. Griffi n, a Texas native whose family is from New Orleans, had been to Saints games in the Su-perdome before and seemed unfazed by the noise.

In the second quarter, he danced out of the pocket to his left to avoid the rush before rifl ing a pass across the fi eld to tight end Fred Davis for a 26-yard gain. That set up his touch-down pass to Robinson.

Griffi n scrambled again before zipping a 27-yard pass to Santana Moss, setting up Billy Cundiff’s sec-ond fi eld goal.

But the Saints weren’t exactly at full strength in the secondary. Usual starter Jabari Greer, coming back from sports hernia surgery in the pre-season, was scratched. Cornerback Johnny Patrick left with an apparent right leg injury early in the second quarter. That left the Saints with two inexperienced cornerbacks.

I’m old by anyone’s standards reading this letter. Fifty-seven years old, but selling my first Cokes at LSU games at 10 years old, pro-grams at 14 and then graduated from LSU. Went to seven games last year, even though I live in California. And every game, I leave when Les and the boys sing the Alma Mater. Can’t imagine any other way. My son grad-uated from LSU last spring and he

sorely misses the games and is only now realizing what a magical and fleeting opportunity in time that was.

I’m issuing a challenge to all students to set an example for the rest of the stadium and have not a single one of you leave for the Ida-ho game next week. What a sign of support to our football team. Don’t think that looking up at the student section and seeing it one-third full at the end of a PAC-12 game doesn’t matter to them. The game is not part of the party, it should be THE party. I promise, if the student section starts it, it will catch on. And then we’ll once again be the most feared sta-dium in the country. I hate to say it, but we are not right now.

Athletics bailout is appreciated, but embarrassing

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Students should not leave football

games early

Welcome to LSU, where the value of your education is deter-mined by the football team’s suc-cess.

That great professor recruit-ed from an Ivy League school? You can thank quarterback Zach Mettenberger for him. The new beakers in your chemistry lab? Props to defensive end Sam Mont-gomery for those. Don’t forget about the money you now have to do research overseas, courtesy of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

A decision made Friday by the LSU System Board of Supervi-sors after the University has been marred by years of budget cuts made the above conversation pos-sible. The Annual Transfer Fund

Policy forces the LSU Athletics Department to fork over $7.2 mil-lion to the University annually, plus a percentage of surplus money.

The University set the prece-dent for the transfer this year when the Athletics Department contribut-ed $5.5 million to help offset bud-get cuts. Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jen-kins said the continued donations from LSU Athletics would give the University “discretionary” income. It’s likely the first round of money would go toward faculty raises, which have not happened in five years.

Is the University desperate enough to accept money based on the success of LSU Athletics?

It appears this might have been the only choice to stay afloat amidst repeated cuts. But how is it that the state’s flagship university can’t even uphold its academic reputa-tion without upholding its reputa-tion of dominance of the football field?

It’s time for Louisiana to de-mand that higher education is pri-oritized, for the sake of the Univer-sity’s academic reputation and for the sake of other higher educational institutions in the state that don’t have athletics departments that reg-ularly bring in millions of dollars.

If the past few years have been any indication, it’s unlikely the budget cuts will stop soon. Given state budget fluctuations, the Uni-versity shouldn’t hedge its bets and rely on state funds. Already, its op-erating budget has flip-flopped into a model where students’ money makes up more than state funds.

The responsible move for the University now is to build an

endowment that will give it insur-ance throughout budget uncertain-ties. The state should help the Uni-versity build that endowment, but the chances of such a gesture hap-pening are slim.

A bailout from LSU Athlet-ics is kind, but it’s not a long-term solution to the University and the state’s lack of financial security. What if the football team has a

season, in three years from now, when it loses every game? Will Athletics still bring in the same amount of money? Will the suc-cess of the University fail when the football team fails?

Jenkins seems to think so.“I believe it’s unique,” he told

The Daily Reveille last week. “The success of athletics will impact the success of academics.”

Until the state stops cutting higher education funding and the University builds an endowment, let’s hope the football team contin-ues breaking records and winning. Our classes and LSU’s future could depend on it.

Democrats betray nonbelievers with God reference BUT HE MEANS WELLGORDON BRILLONColumnist

For a party so outspoken about moving forward, the Democrats sure do seem reluctant to change.

In a convention full of equivo-cating, excuse-making and gener-ally Democratic behavior, there was one aspect of the Democrats’ platform that made me smile.

They had removed all refer-ences to God.

It showed a fearlessness and commitment to policy that has been missing from the party for years, replaced by meekness and a “sorry we’re liberal” attitude.

Then, as soon as conservative media sources began asking ques-tions about the change, Democrats jammed their tails between their legs and rushed a voice vote to add a reference to the “God-given po-tential” of working people.

It was a spineless move by the Democrats – one that shows just how deep the disenfranchisement of nonreligious people in this coun-try runs. It was a slap in the face to the thousands of liberal nonbeliev-ers who have no choice but to align themselves with the Democrats.

The Democratic Party is sup-posed to be the party of inclusion, where everyone is welcome and oppression is fought. Instead, the Democrats oppressed a large por-tion of their own base by impress-ing their beliefs upon them.

By ignoring the cries from their delegates, the Democrats

have alienated and disappointed many potential voters.

Joseph Green, media director for LSU College Democrats, said he shared these sentiments.

“I would like the Democratic Party to move and allow nonthe-ists into the platform,” Green said. “There’s a large chunk of nonthe-ists or nonreligious people in the Democratic Party, and I’d like to see them [the party] embrace them.”

Not only has the Democratic Party betrayed a large portion of the population and its ideology, it has also shot itself in the foot po-litically.

Nonbelievers are a large and growing part of the population – one that also trends extremely lib-eral. Like it or not, nonbelievers will be the Democratic base in the future.

Green also said he thinks the bloc of nonbelievers will grow, and the party will not be able to ignore it for very long.

Atheists, agnostics and oth-er nonreligious people made up almost 15 percent of the adult population in 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That number has been on the rise for years, increasing from 8 percent in 1990.

And yet, there are a grand total of zero nonbelievers in Congress. Nearly every speech at the conven-tion ended in “God bless America.” Both political parties are so tied to their Christian bases that they are willing to ignore a substantial por-tion of the population.

It’s ridiculous that nonbelief in God is still taboo in this country.

We were founded on freedom of religion, and that freedom extends to those who choose to reject reli-gion.

To put it simply, religion is an entirely personal matter and has no place in national policy-making. It’s fine for politicians to allow their moral compasses to be guided by their religions – as long as they

remember their constituency has differing beliefs.

There is no room in a national political platform, especially one that touts itself as liberal, for an en-dorsement of any religion.

I don’t believe God gave me my potential, and there are many angry Democrats who agree with me.

This presidential election, the most central issue is the economy.

And when voters go to cast their ballots in November, they’re going to vote for the candidate who, in their opinion, will be the best at creating jobs and stimulat-ing economic growth.

Mitt Romney is not that can-didate.

Last week during Mitt Rom-ney’s acceptance speech at the Re-publican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., the Republican presi-dential nominee verified his insani-ty by lying to the American people.

“I am running for president to help create a better future — a future where everyone who wants a job can find one,” he declared, “and unlike the president, I have a plan to create 12 million jobs.”

No president in history has been able to grow our economy

by 12 million jobs in one term. We all knew he was out of

touch with reality, but if Romney really subscribes to this economic fantasy, I’ll take two of what he’s having.

For one, Romney did not say how he would accomplish this fan-tasy of a goal in one term other than offering some vague right-wing platitudes and a dose of fraudulent arithmetic.

Far be it for a humble college student like me to take issue with the great CEO of Bain Capital, but I have a hard time believing Rom-ney can achieve such robust labor market growth, especially with the impossibly vague five-point plan he laid out in his acceptance speech.

First, Romney says, he wants to make America energy-indepen-dent by 2020.

The United States is already on a major upswing as an energy producer. Our natural gas produc-tion is at an all-time high and our domestic oil production is at a 14-year high.

Boosting production further

could undoubtedly mean hundreds of thousands of jobs for the U.S., but it’s nowhere near his goal of 12 million.

Second, Romney proposed to improve our education system and expand school choice. He would essentially seek to overhaul our nation’s schools into a privatized, voucher-like system.

Disregarding whether this would move our schools in a posi-tive direction, education reform won’t pay off in a large number of better-trained workers anytime soon.

Next, Romney said he will forge new trade agreements and that harsh consequences would be rendered when nations cheat in trade.

This is where Romney really shows his economic ignorance — and even conservatives will agree.

As Phillip Levy, a senior economist for trade at the conser-vative American Enterprise In-stitute, wrote, “Trade agreements have no impact on overall employ-ment. Trade substitutes better jobs for worse jobs, but leaves the job

total unchanged.”Following trade, Romney as-

serts he will cut the deficit and put America on track for a balanced budget.

The Romney/Ryan ticket plans on doing this by dismantling Medicare, privatizing Social Secu-rity and savagely cutting spending to safety net programs that primar-ily benefit poor people, children and the elderly.

A policy of austerity while our economy remains depressed will only further hamper growth and is nonsense if Romney is serious about trying to add any jobs to our economy.

Romney’s fifth and final point is to champion small businesses by massively cutting taxes for the wealthy and rolling back regula-tions.

Tax cuts are good ways to in-centivize business investment and growth. However, economists have established that there are many other factors that contribute to eco-nomic growth, from productivity of the workforce to investments in public infrastructure.

Tax levels matter, but they’re certainly not the only — nor the most important — instrument for creating jobs and growing the economy.

But Romney has taken this small portion of economic policy and centered his entire agenda on it. Romney is willing to cut spend-ing on education and kick millions of young children off of supple-mental nutrition programs in order to reduce tax expenditures.

Romney’s economic agenda is more of a radical vision for our society than a viable plan for job creation.

Come November, ask your-self: Which candidate is going to leave me better off in four years than I am today?

The answer is not Mitt.
