Only three days after an emp-ty bomb threat turned LSU’s cam-pus into a frenzy, another bomb threat was reported at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport on Thursday evening .
The airport’s terminal and parking garage were evacuated, and a car bomb was reported to be located in a black SUV parked in the garage, said East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux .
“I literally just sat down at the gate, and they told everyone to get out of here; we have to evacuate the airport,” said Lenox Brown , accounting senior .
Brown , who was preparing to
visit his girlfriend in Atlanta , said he sat outside after the evacuation until the evacuees were moved to a hangar. Airport authorities informed evacuees of the black SUV car bomb and asked any person with a black SUV to come forward for questioning, he said.
The airport’s incoming fl ights continued to land, but did not dock at the terminal, said airport spokesman Jim Caldwell . Those on-board the airplanes were even-tually transported to the same han-gar as the other evacuees.
Caldwell said the threat was reported between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. , and the FBI is involved in the investigation.
Noah Baker , a 23-year-old law student , was involved in the
airport evacuation, as well as Monday’s campus exodus, and said the most recent evacuation was “easier” than the previous one. He had a two-hour evacua-tion from his classes at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, located on the outskirts of campus.
“It’s kind of frustrating be-cause between the hurricane and the bomb threat on Monday and now this, personally for me, it’s all really inconvenient,” Baker said.
Baker said none of the evacu-ees “really know what’s going on” and compared the evacuation to “being held hostage.”
William Bouvay Jr., the man who allegedly called in a bomb threat to the East Baton Rouge Parish 911 Call Center, has been indicted by a federal grand jury, according to U.S. Attorney and Baton Rouge District Attorney offi ces.
Bouvay, 42, is being charged with willfully conveying false in-formation concerning the attempt to destroy property by means of explo-sives. If found guilty, he could face 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fi ne.
According to the Associated Press, Bouvay also faces a state charge of communicating false in-formation of a planned bombing that could add up to 20 years to his sen-tence.
Bouvay was arrested Tuesday night after authorities tracked down the deactivated cell phone he used to make the threat. According to the As-sociated Press, Bouvay admitted to making the call after he was arrested.
He is being held at the EBR Parish jail on a $1 million bond.

On Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1925, the University began a new life on a new campus.
The University’s campus was originally located downtown, on what is currently the Louisiana State Capitol. But the school was quickly running out of room in what was a converted military post.
Most of the land lying south of Baton Rouge consisted of planta-tions, according to Clarke Cadzow , local historian and Highland Cof-fees owner . Cadzow said the back-story of the land is also historically signifi cant.
“Highland Road got its name because it was higher than the rest of the land,” he said. “So, when the Mississippi River fl ooded, Highland didn’t. ”BRIANNA PACIORKA / The Daily Reveille
LSU junior safety Eric Reid (1) jumps during a pregame huddle before the Tigers’ win against Idaho on Saturday.
Between blowouts and bomb threats, it’s still the same message from Bennie Logan .
On the heels of LSU’s fi rst road trip of the season to open Southeastern Conference play, the Coushatta native and junior
defensive tackle had a familiar battle cry for the underclassmen.
“Stay focused and prepare to dominate,” Logan said. “You dominate at practice, you domi-nate in the game.”
Fresh off of three non-con-ference romps to open the season, the Tigers (3-0) will meet a frag-ile Auburn club in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday, where the Tigers are 1-2 under coach Les Miles .
After Monday’s bomb threat and the ensuing campus-wide
evacuation that forced the Tigers to call off fi lm study and practice, Miles predicted the team will feel no ill effects, pointing to his staff’s overemphasis of certain points.
“The good news is we over-coach it,” Miles said. “We never get to a game when we don’t think there’s something we need to coach some more.”

Rebels give hope as they unite in �ght for Syria’s largest city, Aleppo
ALEPPO, Syria (AP) — Rebels have taken a major stride in uniting their ranks in the battle for Syria’s largest city, giving them hope they could tip the balance after three months of bloody, stalemated com-bat in Aleppo, one of the biggest prizes of the civil war.
The question is how much more destruction the city can bear.
Government troops are retali-ating against more effective rebel attacks with increasingly devastat-ing bombardment, and civilians are bearing the brunt, with their neigh-borhoods left in ruins.
The new military council was announced Sept. 9.

Amish convicted of hate crimes for hair and beard attacks in Ohio
CLEVELAND (AP) — Sixteen Amish men and women were con-victed Thursday of hate crimes for a series of hair- and beard- cutting attacks on fellow sect members in a religious dispute that offered a rare and sometimes lurid glimpse into the closed and usually self-regulat-ing community of believers.
A federal jury found 66-year-old Samuel Mullet Sr., the leader of the breakaway group, guilty of orchestrating the cuttings last fall in an attempt to shame main-stream members who he believed were straying from their beliefs. Study: Virtually all Alabama coast tar balls are result of BP oil spill
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — A new chemical analysis shows that virtu-ally all the tar balls now washing onto the Alabama coast are directly linked to the BP oil spill that oc-curred more than two years ago.
The report released Thursday by Auburn University says that tar balls caused by the spill are hun-dreds to thousands of times more common than another type of as-phalt-like tar deposit that’s been in the Gulf for years.
Researchers tested tar found on Alabama beaches after Hurri-cane Isaac last month.
LAFAYETTE (AP) — Lafayette police are investigating an incident in which a substitute teacher at J. Wallace James Elementary School allegedly taped a student’s mouth shut to keep the child from talking.
Cpl. Paul Mouton tells The Advertiser police received a for-mal complaint Wednesday. That complaint is active, and criminal charges are possible. Mouton said those charges could include either cruelty to a juvenile or simple bat-tery.
Lafayette Parish School Su-perintendent Pat Cooper said the alleged incident involved a per-son who was a longtime substitute teacher with the district.

Florida man convicted in New Orleans of child sex traf�cking
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Flor-ida man has been convicted by a federal jury in New Orleans of child sex trafficking charges.
Thirty-year-old Benson De-cember Coriolant, of Orlando, Fla., faces a maximum sentence of life in prison following his convictions Thursday.
Prosecutors say Coriolant re-cruited a 14-year-old girl to work for him as a prostitute in Florida and Louisiana.
Symbols of Egypt’s revolution erased as country tries to move forward
CAIRO (AP) — Under the cover of darkness, a few municipality workers quietly began to paint over an icon of Egypt’s revolution: a gi-ant, elaborate public mural on the street that saw some of the most violent clashes between protesters and police over the past two years.
The mural, stretching three blocks along a wall off Cairo’s Tahrir Square, has been a sort of open-air museum of the history of the revolution and its goals — with “martyr” portraits of slain protest-ers, graffiti, jokes and more.

Chick-�l-A makes controversial statement over gay marriage again
ATLANTA (AP) — Chick-fil-A is once again in the public relations fryer.
The controversy flared up this week when a Chicago politician said the company was no longer giving to groups that oppose same-sex marriage, angering Christian conservatives who supported Chick-fil-A this summer when its president reaffirmed his opposition to gay marriage.
In its statement Thursday, the Georgia-based company said its corporate giving had for many months been mischaracterized.

A recent Kaplan Bar Review survey reveals that law school grad-uates advise prospective students to evaluate affordability and job placement rates when applying to law schools, but many students pay more attention to national rankings than anything else.
Applicants should weigh their future fi nances and employment more than the “monopoly on the law school rankings,” said Jeff Thomas , director of pre-law programs at Ka-plan Test Prep .
Thomas said the U.S. News & World Report rankings are the only statistics applicants look at since there aren’t other notable school rankings.
“Law school rankings should not be the primary factor in choos-ing a school,” he said.
Logan Williams , economics freshman , said he is most interested in the University of Chicago and Georgetown University law schools because of their “noteworthy fac-ulty” and rankings.
The U.S. News & World Report ranked University of Chicago at the No. 5 spot, and Georgetown claimed the No. 13 spot.
The LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center is ranked No. 79 . Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans law schools are ranked 51 and 135 , respectively.
Thomas said the employment percentage of graduates should have more value in applicants’ decisions since the current “supply of law-yers” is higher than the demand.
“It’s understandable that stu-dents won’t think about 2015, 2016 now,” Thomas said. “What this is
reminding students to do is to think long and hard not just if they want to go to law school, but what they want to do after they graduate.”
In some instances, schools that ranked lower in the U.S. News & World Report have higher job em-ployment percentages for graduates than top-ranked schools, he said.

Female students, faculty and staff members will have the oppor-tunity this weekend to learn how to better protect themselves from at-tacks.
Starting Friday at 6 p.m. , the University will offer a Rape Ag-gression Defense Systems course in the Center for Computation & Technology Annex Building . Ac-cording to R.A.D. System’s web-site, the program’s mission is to provide instructors to help all peo-ple “create a safer future for them-selves.”
The class covers a multitude of different attacks women can learn to protect themselves from. Health Promotion Coordinator of the Of-fi ce of Health Promotion Kathy Saichuk said some of the scenarios the class talks about are home in-vasion , personal space invasion by strangers and physical aggression .
“It enhances skills that we
already have, and we don’t even realize we have them,” she said. “It teaches us how, through self-awareness, to learn to use a lot of the natural skills that we have and our natural instincts.”
The class helps females in-crease their self-awareness and per-sonal safety. Saichuk said students are also able to protect the ones they love.
The University is offering the basic class for $25 for students,
faculty and staff and $45 for the general public . The basic class does not cover advanced training on weaponry or aerosols , Saichuk said, but students must take the basic course before moving on to more advanced classes.
Saichuk said the course changes each year to focus on new situations involving ever-evolving technology and digital media, and students living on their own and traveling alone.
R.A.D. programs are held across the nation and around the world. The program is taught in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ko-rea and Switzerland , and the course is taught on military bases , said in-structor-trainer at the R.A.D. Sys-tems Jennifer Nadeau .
“If you go to a R.A.D. class, the methodology of teaching is identical, the skills are identical, progression is identical,” she said.
Although students are still signing up, smaller classes are bet-ter for teaching, Saichuk said. The instructors prefer to have small classes so students can get one-on-one attention, ask questions and have discussions.
Four instructors will teach this weekend, including Saichuk , two LSU Police Department offi cers , and an associate dean in the Offi ce of the Dean of Students . The class at the University typically needs three aggressors for the attack sim-ulations.
Nadeau ’s father, Larry Nadeau ,
started the program in 1989 , almost 25 years ago.
While working in law enforce-ment at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia , sexual assaults increased on campus. Because he had experience in martial arts and defensive tactics training, Larry was asked to come up with a pro-gram for women on campus.
“He never thought that it would leave that campus,” Jennifer said. “But 25 years later, we have quite a number of instructors across the country.”
The national offi ce for R.A.D. Systems is now located in Denham Springs , La. , Larry’s hometown.
“The ultimate purpose is for a woman, should she ever get into a situation where she’s attacked, is to escape with the least amount of harm done to herself. That’s the ul-timate goal,” Saichuk said.

Four economics profes-sors agreed Thursday that action should have been taken earlier to save the country from economic
crisis during an economic policy forum at the Busi-ness Education Complex.
Associate fi nance profes-
sor Rajesh Narayanan said gov-ernments typically respond too late and not adequately enough, and this has been true of the Unit-ed States.
Narayanan said Americans have principles and ideas about taxes that have not been put into action.
“I think at the time, it was un-clear how big the stimulus needed to be,” said economics professor Dek Terrell.
Terrell said in any large gov-ernment, some parts are bound to be ineffective.
The panelists also eventually agreed that presidents have lim-ited infl uence on the economy.
“They don’t create quantities of jobs,” Terrell said. “But they can react to situations and keep them from getting worse.”
Finance professor Joe Ma-son said presidents have minimal infl uence for their fi rst two years
in offi ce, and after implementing some of their own policies, they gain more.
Later, the panelists addressed tax reform.
Associate economics profes-sor Areendam Chanda said he considers the tax debate to be the most important to the fate of the presidential election, but he does not know what the effects of the tax plans will be.
“I have not seen any good papers on the correlation between personal income tax and the econ-omy,” Chanda said.
Terrell supported plans like fl at rates and former presidential hopeful Herman Cain’s 999 plan,
while Narayanan said a panacea for the problems with tax code is impossible.
“When it’s diffi cult for me as a Ph.D. economist to understand my tax form, there’s a problem,” said Terrell.
Terrell said one obvious so-lution is to reinstate the payroll tax to help with social security funding. This will be seen by the American public as raising taxes on the average worker, but Terrell said it’s necessary.
Mason said the tax code needs to have a social dimension that is “palatable to the American public.”
The original problem in the economy, according to Mason, stemmed from a lack of bank and investment accountability. The av-erage person could not determine what would be a good investment.
The issue now is that these bad investments are being liqui-dated, and the businesses aren’t acknowledging it, Mason said.
Connie Bernard , an MBA stu-dent, said she wished the panelists could have gone into more depth.

Eleven months ago today, LSU sophomore run-ning back Kenny Hilliard was nothing more than the nephew of an old Tiger legend with a lot of potential.
Eleven months ago Saturday, Hilliard made a name for himself in one of the nation’s deepest back-fi elds after a 65-yard , two-touchdown performance against Southeastern Conference rival Auburn .
In the wake of then-sophomore running back Spencer Ware and three other Tigers’ suspensions for a violation of the team’s substance abuse policy, Hill-iard received his chance to follow in the footsteps of his uncle, former LSU running back Dalton Hilliard .
“[Ware] went down with the issue he had going on, and I was able to come in and pick up his slack,” Hilliard said. “And that’s what it’s all about. Being able to come in and pick up other people’s slack.”
Before that week, Hilliard recorded only fi ve carries for 22 yards.
Since then, Hilliard has become a deadly weap-on for the Tiger offense, posting 94 carries for 618 yards and 14 touchdowns — all of which lead the team.
“I’m just trying to pick up from what I did last year and continue to get better each and every week,” Hilliard said. “I feel like I am [a complete back]. I’m just going to go out there, stay humble, get my as-signments and have fun.
This season, Hilliard has produced 21.4 percent of LSU’s total offensive yardage and contributed to nearly a quarter of the Tigers’ point total.
The only Tiger with more touches and yards
You’ve earned this, LSU fans.You’ve put on an impressive
performance for three weeks. It was to be expected, but you’ve passed the fi rst three tests with fl y-ing colors.
Each Thursday , you set up tents and parked RVs. You woke up way too early on Saturday morning after a long Friday night. Then you spent all Saturday out in the hot Louisiana sun, indulging in everything that makes LSU tail-gating great — food, drinks, music and friends.
Hell, some of you even made it to the football games.
The tailgating life is a lot of
fun, but it takes its toll. That may sound funny to those who aren’t familiar with LSU tailgating, but that’s because they don’t do it right.
Sundays are recovery days, 24-hour hangovers spent glued to the couch watching the Saints struggle.
But this week, there is no home game, and no home game means no tailgating.
This may be a bit of a downer to some people, but I urge you to always look on the sunshiny side of life. This week’s game at Au-burn is a blessing in disguise.
Those of you who will make the trip to that desolate land they call the state of Alabama , I com-mend you. It takes a special dose of persistence to journey to CONNOR TARTER / The Daily Reveille
The past three Saturdays may have exhausted some Tiger fans. This week’s away game is a welcomed chance to rest up for tailgating before yet another home match Sept. 29.

LSU soccer is familiar with the out with the old, in with the new philosophy.
The team graduated five talent-ed seniors and gained five talented freshman within the same breath.
But while LSU coach Brian Lee notes that his team is talented, he does know that there is a hump that the team needs to get over.
After coming off of their season-open-ing double-overtime win in Oklahoma, the Tigers came away with a draw from their home opener with Rice, who was down a player for the last 24 minutes of the game because of a red card. The team has already played to more ties and double-overtime games than last season, which were at one and three respectively.
“This year’s team is a bit of a transition era for us,” Lee said.
The current starters are a mix
of talent and experience, with se-niors, third-year starters and mul-tiple freshmen.
“We’re all very skilled players for sure,” said freshman forward/midfielder Jade Kovacevic. “We can learn each other’s playing styles so that we can play better together, not just as individuals.”
Lee looks to his upperclassmen for leadership, and they try not to
focus on the hard-nosed approach. The experienced players lead with that prin-ciple in mind.
“I lead by be-ing hard on every-one on the team to make sure they know the importance
of each game and playing hard,” said redshirt sophomore defender Jodi Calloway. “College soccer is competitive. If they make a mis-take, it’s OK, everyone makes mistakes. There needs to be a bal-ance between being hard and being encouraging.”
Upperclassman leadership has
not gone unnoticed. Senior forward Carlie Banks
has two goals so far this season, which were the Tigers’ lone goals in a loss to NC State and draw
with Alabama. “Their role within the team for
each [senior] has increased year to year,” Lee said. “They have become better players. They’ve come into
the season as great team leaders first and foremost.”
Lee knows the importance of every game, while making sure his players see the bigger picture.
“I really judge our kids on two things,” Lee said. “What has the team accomplished with us, and do they maximize their potential as stu-dent-athletes during the four years while they are with us? Did they get better every year?”
LSU returns to action Friday against Auburn at 7 p.m. in LSU Soccer Stadium to conclude its ten-game homestand.
“They will always be tough to beat,” Lee said.
Both teams will aim for their first Southeastern Conference win this season, with Auburn (4-5) on the heels of losses to Missouri and Florida.
“We know every SEC weekend will be a grind,” Lee said. “There will be no weak opponents.”
After a rough start to its con-ference schedule, the LSU vol-leyball team is eager to show fans what it can do this weekend.
LSU will look to bounce back after falling to Alabama and South Carolina in its Southeastern Conference opening weekend, when it takes on Kentucky and Missouri in its first home games of the season.
“We’re just try-ing to finally make that final step where we’re not losing, we’re winning ev-ery game,” said freshman middle blocker Khourtni Fears. “I can’t say I’m satisfied with our play so far, but I feel that in weeks to come, the team and I will be sat-isfied.”
LSU’s opponents are coming in with different mindsets this weekend.
The Wildcats will also be looking for their first conference win, as they lost their last three matches, dropping out of the top 25 for the first time this season.
On the contrary, Missouri has looked strong, taking down then-No. 17 Tennessee in its SEC debut, and later Ole Miss to bring its conference record to 2-0.
But LSU knows better than to take any team lightly at this point. Rather than focusing on their opponents, the Tigers have used practice this week to better themselves.
“It doesn’t really matter who
is across the net from us,” said junior middle blocker Desiree Elliott. “We just want to stay our team.”
LSU coach Fran Flory rein-forced this sentiment at practice Tuesday.
“Our preparation this week has to be taking care of our side
and becoming more efficient,” Flory said. “I thought we made some good in the last couple weeks, but we haven’t established that consistent fluid-ity that we need to have in our offense.”
Flory told Tiger TV in an interview Wednesday that the
Tigers will be without senior li-bero Meghan Mannari this week-end due to a foot injury suffered during pregame warmups last weekend.
Mannari has thrived since moving to the libero position and is the team leader in digs and ser-vice aces.
She was replaced by se-nior defensive specialist Sam Delahoussaye who stepped up,
posting double-figure digs in back-to-back matches.
“With Meghan Man-nari injured, we want to get our rotations down,” Elliott said. “Sam Delahoussaye has done an amazing job in the

The LSU cross country teams hope for a little home track advan-tage as the Tigers and Lady Tigers are set to host the LSU Invitational at Highland Road Park on Saturday morning.
The Lady Tigers will try to build off a ninth place season-opening fi nish at the Commodore Classic at Vanderbilt last weekend. LSU senior Laura Carleton paced the team and fi nished fi fth individ-ually with a time of 21:14.53 .
“I would like to improve on my time for last week,” Carleton said. “You can’t always see the improvement in the time, but I just want to feel like I’m getting faster week-to-week.”
The Lady Tigers won the LSU Invitational last season. Carleton won the race while redshirting and running unattached from the team.
Seniors Dakota and Brea Goodman also ran well in the
opener, fi nishing No. 42 and No. 48, respectively. Junior Leigh-Ann Naccari fi nished No. 62 .
On the men’s side, the Tigers will try to fi nd their form at their home course after fi nishing, No. 19 out of 25 teams in last week’s season-opening meet. A season ago the Ti-gers fi nished sec-ond at their annual home meet.
“I think it is an advantage for us,” LSU coach Mark Elliott said. “But an advan-tage in cross country only does so much. The bottom line is that we know the course well, but we still have to compete.”
Only senior Roger Cooke , who placed No. 69 , fi nished in the top-100 in the season opener. El-liott said he expects his team to run better with another week of prac-tice and training under its belt.
The season-opening meet fea-tured mostly Southeastern Confer-ence competition, but this week, the Tigers will mostly compete against other Louisiana schools.
“The thing we like about this meet is that a lot of the local schools come,” said sopho-more Philip Prime-aux . “We get to run against guys that we know. It makes it a little more fun and that makes a difference.”
All members of both teams will run on Saturday. The women’s race will begin at 8:05 a.m. with the men’s race scheduled to start at 9:15 a.m.

Auburn after three consecutive weekends spent outside tailgating at LSU. You are better men and women than I.
I have faith that those of you who travel will show those “barn-ers” how the best tailgaters in the land do it— you always do.
But I’ll be home on my couch and you shouldn’t feel bad if you are too. In our weekly beer, liquor and food-induced stupor, we’ve missed the majority of college football games this season. And as much as we don’t like to acknowl-edge it, there are football teams other than LSU and whoever LSU is playing on a given weekend.
Use this weekend to study up. Wake up and watch “College
GameDay.” Lee Corso will make a fool out of himself and Desmond Howard will wear the most fl y suit
you’ve ever seen. You’ve forfeited watching
this, as well as the pageantry of every other team across the na-tion, in favor of fl ooding the LSU campus early each Saturday this September .
You chose to watch North Texas , Washington and Idaho rath-er than the few early season top-25 matchups— and that was the right choice to make.
Enjoy this weekend, though. It’s a chance to pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Don’t get too worked up on your week-end off, either. Relax and recuper-ate.
Next week, you’ll be back at it again.

than Hilliard is junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger .
“Whoever is getting the ball is going to be the person we’re looking for to get the yards,” said senior left guard Josh Dworaczyk. “You get Kenny in a hole, full speed ahead, we saw that last week and hopefully we see some more of that this week.”
LSU coach Les Miles com-pared the 1-2 combination of Hill-iard and fellow running back Al-fred Blue to the “Shake and Bake” saying from the Will Ferrell movie “Talladega Nights. ”
But with Blue sidelined by a knee injury suffered in last week’s game against Idaho, there may need to be a little more “shake” in Hilliard’s play against Auburn.
“I’m not nervous,” Hilliard said. “It’s the game of football I’ve been playing all my life. I’m going to take this opportunity to get bet-ter and do what I can for this team — just take my time out there and play football.”
With Blue’s injury, Hilliard knows he’ll have to be the one to step in and take over his team-mate’s duties in the backfi eld.
“[Blue] is very good at picking up blitzes,” Hilliard said. “We’re all good at it, but he’s really good
at picking up blitzes and outrun-ning defenders, but we have Mi-chael Ford for that, too.”
Ford is expected to take over the role of speed back at Auburn, but as Hilliard’s 71 -yard touch-down run against Idaho showed, Hilliard has wheels of his own.
Hilliard fi nished last season weighing in at 240 pounds. But during the offseason, the Patterson, La., native dropped some weight and is ready to show off his new-found speed.
“If I didn’t [shed weight] I couldn’t outrun the defenders,” Hilliard said. “Dropping down to 225, that’s perfect for me. I’m not dropping any lower than that be-cause I was at 220 one time and I feel like I was light and I didn’t re-ally like it.”
Hilliard knows the new batch of freshman backs will be laying in wait for an opportunity, just as he did a year ago.
“I had to wait my opportunity, too,” Hilliard said. “My turn came just as well and I took advantage of it. [Jeremy Hill’s ] turn came and he took advantage of it. When some-body goes out, the next person has to come up and play that role.”

“I listened to (one) of the pressers. - Never did the officials say that everyone was safely off campus within that hour. Never did the officials say that traffic was clear, or even flowing smoothly. - What they DID say was that all of the buildings were completely clear and everyone was in the pro-cess of leaving campus during that one hour time frame. What they DID say was that in this hour, after students and faculty had been safe-ly removed, the search for bombs began.- This is op/ed an example how things get blown wildly out of proportion, how misunderstand-ings occur. - Of course, improve-ments can and should be explored. Perhaps contraflow could have been established... but that typical-ly takes HOURS to safely put into place. LSU is a LARGE campus. I think they did remarkbaly well.” - FleurDeTiger
WEB COMMENTS
The current political climate is dominated by knee-jerk reac-tions.
It’s a result of the 24-hour news cycle and a strongly polar-ized two-party system. When we see something we don’t like, the automatic reaction is to turn on our heels and run to the other par-ty, hoping its members will have a quick and easy solution to the problem.
This makes it difficult to im-plement any long-term political plans, and nearly impossible to commit to any solution that could truly affect any systemic change.
So every election cycle, we hear people clamoring for change and politicians offering the most drastic, immediate solutions pos-sible.
Here in Baton Rouge, we’re lucky to have a mayor who bucks the trend and has committed to programs that will bring us a bet-ter future.
That is, if we can be bothered to keep him around.
Kip Holden’s main opponent in this year’s race is Republican Mike Walker, the personification of right-wing reactionism.
Holden summed up the race best in a recent candidates’ fo-rum.
“You have three choices in this race … neutral, reverse and drive. I’m drive.”
Both Holden and Walker are campaigning on the basic issues of crime and education. Hold-en has worked hard for the last eight years to enact long-term programs to improve both, and Walker is running on the basis that Holden’s programs haven’t worked yet.
The link between education and crime is well-document-ed, and it’s refreshing to see a
politician who understands and accepts a more modern approach to the issues at hand. Holden’s adoption of such progressive ideas has been recognized with awards from the Novogradac Community Development Foun-dation.
Holden comes from a diffi-cult upbringing and understands how the culture of crime affects people from a young age. He knows that eliminating such a well-entrenched problem means a lot of hard work over a long pe-riod of time — working to kill the problem at its source.
So what fresh new ideas does Mike Walker add to the conversa-tion?
He wants more cops.The centerpiece of Walker’s
campaign is his so-called “Nine Steps to Safer Streets” plan to increase police presence in Baton Rouge. Some highlights of the plan include doubling the num-ber of Street Operations units, in-flating the narcotics division and immediately declaring a state of emergency.
A level-headed and well-rea-soned plan, no?
Sure, arrest statistics under
Walker would be higher than under Holden. But history has shown time after time that in-creased police presence does nothing to stop gang activity.
The only proven way to stop gang activity is to prevent children from being sucked into the gang lifestyle — something Walker either does not under-stand or is unwilling to do.
No one contests that crime is a problem in Baton Rouge – the city is ranked in the ninety-sev-enth percentile of dangerous cit-ies. But Walker’s plan of attack will do nothing to stop criminals in the long term.
Walker’s ideas for helping Baton Rouge’s schools are equal-ly as short-sighted.
One of his ideas is based on Washington, D.C.’s public school system, which since 2007 has been under the control of a com-mittee presided over by the may-or. His campaign has cited the model as “working really well” and “one out-of-the-box idea that could be considered.”
It’s true that in D.C., profi-ciency scores on standardized tests rose by almost 50 percent since 2006.
Unfortunately for Walker, it’s also true that several D.C. schools have since been investigated for cheating on standardized tests. With the fact that almost half of D.C. teachers have been deemed unqualified to teach, the system doesn’t seem to be “working re-ally well.”
Essentially, Holden is trying to vaccinate us against the city’s ailments. Walker just wants to keep us doped up so we don’t no-tice the symptoms.

“You have three choices in this race … neutral, reverse and drive. I’m drive.”
Kip Holden, East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President
With further evidence of an impending economic downturn and the fate of millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans hanging in the balance, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke declared last week that the central bank would take forceful policy action in an effort to stimulate the economy.
While Bernanke had been hinting that he would take further steps to aid the economy, the Fed’s announcement of a third round of quantitative easing is welcome, but long overdue.
The need for stimulus reflects the poor state of the U.S. econo-my. Continued stagnant economic growth coupled with a persistently high unemployment rate indicates a clear case for monetary expansion.
Some background: The Fed is the central banking system in the United States, and was installed in 1913 to ensure a safer, more flex-ible and more stable monetary and financial system.
It normally takes primary re-sponsibility for short-term econom-ic management by influencing the direction of interest rates in order to control the money supply.
The conventional tool the Fed uses for controlling the amount of money in our economy is the buy-ing and selling of government se-curities, such as treasury bills, in its open market operations.
When the economy is running too slow, the Fed purchases gov-ernment securities, expanding the money supply. These purchases lower interest rates, which spur
economic development and create the risk for inflation.
Consequently, when the econ-omy is running too fast, the Fed sells government securities, de-creasing the money supply. This action increases the interest rate, which slows economic growth and curbs the risk of inflation.
A continued policy of Fed purchases that result in low inter-est rates is exactly what we need to combat the tepid growth our econo-my is currently facing.
However, due to the magnitude of the financial crisis that has weak-ened our economy so severely, the Fed has been forced to implement a more aggressive monetary policy since 2008. The policy is buying longer-term assets through what’s known as “quantitative easing.”
The goal behind these purchas-es is to drive down the cost of bor-rowing and encourage economic growth. It’s simple econ 101: Firms are more likely to purchase equip-ment and hire workers when they can do so cheaply.
And during last week’s Fed an-nouncement, Bernanke pledged the latest round of quantitative easing, saying the Fed intends to purchase $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities a month, and potentially other assets, until there is signifi-cant improvement in the labor mar-ket.
But what is likely to be the most impacting portion of the Fed’s stimulus comes from a radical shift in policy. The Fed is trying to bol-ster confidence that it won’t with-draw support at the first sign of good news.
In its statement, the central bank announced that “a highly ac-commodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the eco-nomic recovery strengthens.”
The idea is that the Fed can encourage more private sector spending right away by promising to maintain an expansionary mon-etary policy well into the recovery, instead of prematurely raising rates when conditions slightly improve.
Quantitative easing will en-courage potential home buyers with the prospect of moderately higher inflation, which will make their debts easier to repay. Busi-nesses will be encouraged by the probability of higher future sales, which gives them confidence to invest and hire more workers. The value of stocks will rise, increasing
wealth, and the value of the dollar will fall, boosting U.S. exports.
This new kind of policy move-ment is exactly what the Fed needs to pursue in order to address unem-ployment and growth issues, en-abling the U.S. to walk down a path toward a sustainable recovery.
It’s important to note that the Fed’s aggressive policies are not the ultimate solution to our eco-nomic woes. The goal of the poli-cies is to accelerate the recovery, and allow for the economy to grow quickly enough to generate jobs.
Last week we learned that the Fed has correctly re-placed its
emphasis on jobs and is willing to take as much action as needed until a noticeably positive effect is made in employment and growth.
It’s great the Fed has finally gained some conviction because its economic leadership is crucial to the future of the U.S.

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE / The Associated Press
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke makes his way past reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday after meeting privately with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., and members of the committee about the looming economic crisis, often called the “�scal cliff.”
What is the difference between bailing out American farmers and bailing out Wall Street?
For that matter, what is the dif-ference between giving struggling farmers money they didn’t earn ver-sus giving that same money to urban minorities?
Simple answer: urban minori-ties don’t vote Republican.
The Farm Bill is currently snak-ing its way through Congress. If passed, it will provide nearly $1 tril-lion over the next decade in much-needed assistance for American farmers and their families who have been struggling to make ends meet this year, according to The New York Times.
Yes, that’s not a typo, one trillion dollars.
Excessive drought has plagued a vast quantity of agricultural land in the central U.S., prompting the gov-ernment to act accordingly.
I have no problem with this. These farmers and their families need help. No rain means no crops, which means no money.
Why is this bill so much less controversial than, say, the Wall Street bailout or Obamacare?
The Farm Bill passed in the with bipartisan support, a term no-body in Washington has used in the past two years. But isn’t it just a bail-out, a system of welfare or even, dare I say it, socialist intervention in the economy?
If you chose all of the above, congratulations, you can read be-tween the lines.
The Farm Bill is a form of wel-fare. It’s a social safety net designed to make sure American farmers can
still afford to live and provide for their families this year.
This bill has received biparti-san support because the Democrats know it has to happen, and the Re-publicans want to bail out their own constituents.
Giving taxpayer money to people who vote Republican and withholding it from Democratic strongholds is still welfare, it’s just hypocritical welfare.
Damn near the entire midwest is predicted to be comprised of red states this coming election, save Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Min-nesota.
The lesson we have to take from the Farm Bill is that Republicans aren’t against welfare, they are only against giving it to people who don’t vote for them.
House Republican leaders stated that they will not vote on the Farm Bill until after the Novem-ber elections, according to CNN,
further delaying the much needed as-sistance.
The federal government’s total welfare spending for the 2012 fiscal year amounts to $451.9 billion. This includes housing, unemployment, food stamps, worker’s compensation and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families).
For those who can’t subtract, that’s more than $500 billion less than the proposed Farm Bill total.
The federal government spent a total of $668 billion on “anti-pov-erty programs” this year, according to Fox News. Yeah, that’s right, I sourced Fox News — just so the Re-publicans know these are their num-bers.
It’s up to the reader to specu-late on what exactly is included in a lump sum number of “anti-poverty program” spending, but I imagine it includes all of the $451.9 billion in welfare spending, plus healthcare costs.
I don’t know who’s doing the math, but if Republicans are com-plaining about $668 billion spent on the poor, why would they go along with $1 trillion?
Any way you look at it, the Farm Bill is an enormous sum of cash. It’s necessary, but so are other welfare programs designed to help non-rural and non-Republican voters.
The Farm Bill, along with oth-er welfare programs such as TANF and Medicaid, is a necessary social safety net to ensure large chunks of our economy don’t plummet into oblivion.
Recognize this bill for what it is — a bailout.

potent, capable team according to Miles .
“They have great speed,” Miles said. “They are a little bit different than the spread teams that Auburn has had in the past.”
Logan lauded Auburn’s vet-eran offensive line and its knowl-edge of opponents’ tendencies, all while dispelling Auburn’s slow start.
“They’ve been struggling in the past week or so, but you can’t just say they’ll struggle against us,” Logan said. “This is South-eastern Conference play, we can’t get complacent.”
Led by shifty senior run-ning back Onterio McCalebb and coaches’ preseason fi rst-team All-SEC defensive end Corey Lemonier , Auburn will look to continue the visiting Tigers’
long-standing troubles in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Continuing the misery will take a Herculean effort, accord-ing to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik .
“There’s no weak links to their team — offensively, defen-sively or special teams,” Chizik said in the SEC Coaches telecon-ference. “For us to be successful Saturday night, we’ll have to play tremendous on both sides of the ball.”
Chizik added that his “in-consistent” offensive line could get a boost from a former LSU commitment, 6-foot-7 freshman Patrick Miller .
Miller and the rest of Chizik’s offensive line will have their hands full contending with the premier front four of the SEC, highlighted by junior defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and
Sam Montgomery .Chizik also lauded junior
quarterback Zach Mettenberger , calling him “effi cient” and prais-ing his pocket presence.
“He’s a big ol’ guy that can stand up in there and see the fi eld,” Chizik said. “He makes very accurate throws.”
In his fi rst road start, Metten-berger will be without starting running back Alfred Blue , side-lined for the foreseeable future with an injury to what Miles called a “lower extremity.”
Junior Spencer Ware and sophomore Kenny Hilliard are presumed to shoulder the load in the backfi eld, with junior Mi-chael Ford and redshirt freshman Jeremy Hill chipping in with fresh legs.
Blue’s injury and Metten-berger’s road inexperience don’t worry Miles , who said his team’s
“strong personality” will carry it through its fi rst road test.
“I think road games are kind of an extension of the personality of the team,” Miles said. “It’s the same 100 yards, just a different stadium.”
Away from the friendly con-fi nes of Tiger Stadium, sopho-more defensive tackle Anthony Johnson said the Bayou Bengals are focused on simply playing “LSU football,” wherever the road takes them.
As for Saturday’s game, Johnson had a favorable premo-nition.
“I think this team is going to come out and play a hell of a game Saturday,” Johnson said.

An aerial view of the LSU campus in 1925. The campus, which celebrates its anniversary Sunday, moved to its current location in 1925.
After 2,000 acres of land came up for sale in 1918 , Thomas Boyd and Thomas Atkinson began schem-ing, according to University Archi-vist Barry Cowan.
“They came up with an option,” Cowan said. “They would pay a small portion of the cost of the land, similar to a down payment. The state came up with the rest.”
The total cost of the land amounted to $82,000 at the time, Cowan said. Adjusted for infl ation, the cost equals $1,079,490 today.
Buying it was just the begin-ning. Once the University purchased the land, it hired the Olmstead both-ers to complete the design.
The Dairy Barn — now called the Reilly Theater — was the fi rst building on campus, wrapping up construction in 1922 .
As the University took shape, architects carefully considered each building’s purpose. In architect The-odore Link’s general plan, he pro-posed creating several quadrangles, each based on a theme.
Link created a North Quad-rangle, centered around the fi ne arts. The quadrangle consisted of Peabody Hall , Foster Hall and Hill Memo-rial Library . The South Quadrangle was also known as the Engineering Quadrangle. Buildings in this quad-rangle included Prescott , Stubbs and Audubon Halls, among others.
With buildings popping up around campus, a cross formed in the middle. Because Middleton Library wasn’t built until the 1950s, the University’s original buildings
created a cruciform instead of many different squares.
Approximately 4,000 students inhabited the University’s campus shortly after enrollment began. All students under 21 were required to live on campus. Female students lived in the downtown Pentagon Bar-racks and were bussed to campus . A small neighborhood near campus also provided shelter for those affi li-ated with the University, according to Cadzow.
“Students or Faculty who worked at the University just walked to campus from the North Gates or State Street area,” he explained. “It really began to develop into its own little city. The downtown area was the only real part of Baton Rouge; LSU was really all by itself.”
Because the University land was previously a plantation, there were no stately oaks or broad mag-nolias populating the campus.
Not only did the landscape look different, but the demographics of the student population were also vastly different. This semester, the proportion of male to female stu-dents is nearly equal, according to the Offi ce of Budget and Planning . In 1925, few females attended col-lege, Cowan said.
“Just as an example, there were 32 men in the law school,” Cowan said. “There were only two women.”
KEYS TO THE GAME:Take the Jordan-Hare crowd out of the game.
In his � rst road game as a starter, LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger has to keep his poise.
Make sure Auburn defensive end Corey Lemonier doesn’t have a big game.
LSU running backs Kenny Hilliard and Spencer Ware need to make up for Alfred Blue’s absence.
Contain Auburn running back Onterio McCalebb.
Take the Jordan-Hare crowd
