STUDIO ARTS BUILDING

Safety, health concerns persist

CHARLOTTE WILLCOX / The Daily Reveille

Loose wires present problems at the Studio Arts Building on Feb. 27. Arts students are planning protests to bring the building’s many issues to attention as the building awaits renovation.

After fi ve years of incarcera-tion, rapper and Baton Rouge na-tive Lil Boosie has been released from prison.

Boosie held a press conference

LSU to dump current Wi-Fi for eduroam

Following the end of the spring semester, Information Technol-ogy Services will retire the lsuse-cure wireless network, making edu-roam the primary Wi-Fi option for on-campus users.

Sheri Thompson, IT communi-cations and planning offi cer, said the decision was made after a recent focus group meeting.

“There’s no use in continu-ing to support two networks that do the same thing,” said Hector Rios, assistant director of Networking and Infrastructure.

Rios said having multiple net-works may be confusing to incoming students and other members of the University community.

“We want to make it as simple as possible,” Rios said.

BOOSIE’S BACKEditor’s Note: This is the fi rst in a three-part series detailing concerns surrounding the Studio Arts Building.

There is a thin line be-tween having vintage charm and being a dump. University art students believe the Stu-dio Arts Building crossed that line long before the ceiling of the ceramics studio fell in No-vember 2013. It’s a tough old building that has withstood 90 years of wear and tear, but students wonder — and worry — just how much more they and the Studio Arts Building can take.

The building has been slated for renovation for years, but the state Legis-lature has not yet approved funding. Blueprints that took a year to draw will sit on the shelf until the University re-ceives the $15 million needed for renovation, said Roger Husser, Facility Services

director of planning, design and construction.

Students are organizing protests that they hope will persuade legislators to al-locate the funds. Until then, they will craft sculptures and sketch drawings beneath leaky ceilings, on top of un-even wood brick fl oors and surrounded by walls coated in lead paint and, in some plac-es, mold.

When the ceramics studio ceiling crashed into a large sink that just about every student in the building uses, people around campus started paying attention to the build-ing’s long list of issues. Prob-lems with the building, which was constructed in 1924, date back much further and are not limited to that one studio.

One of students’ biggest concerns is lead paint and asbestos they have identifi ed throughout the building using home test kits. However, Dave Maharrey, associate executive

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden said he has no regrets about revealing the agency’s mass surveillance program.

Snowden spoke Monday via live video conference to a packed audience at the South By Southwest Interactive Festival.

The former NSA contractor, who remains in Moscow living in temporary asylum, faces felony charges in the U.S. after leaking thousands of classifi ed documents to media outlets.

Christopher Soghoian, prin-cipal technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union, spoke to Snowden from the Austin, Tex-as, event along with Snowden’s legal adviser, the ACLU’s Ben Wizner.

Snowden touched on a num-ber of issues in the hour-long con-versation. He dispensed advice on how U.S. citizens can keep their web-surfi ng activities more private by using a free service called Tor, which encrypts web traffi c. He also called on the technology industry to create more software and services that help guard individual privacy.

He appeared to have no regrets about exposing the U.S. govern-ment’s surveillance methods.

“And when it comes to would I do this again, the answer is abso-lutely yes,” he told the audience.

“I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and I saw that the Constitution was violated on a massive scale,” he added.

The ACLU offered a live blog of Snowden’s talk on its website, and the Texas Tribune’s website hosted a live video stream.

Fugitive WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange spoke at the SXSW conference in a similar manner on Saturday. Assange is living in asy-lum at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

(AP) — The fi rst steps to allow hunters and fi shermen to stay longer in the state’s most remote areas was taken Thursday by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.

At the urging of state game and fi sheries biologists and man-agers, the LWFC amended the 2014-2015 resident-game hunt-ing regulations to allow hunters a three-day possession limit of small game — rabbit, squirrels and quail — but kept the daily limits of eight on squirrels and rabbits and 10 per day on quail.

The commission later ap-proved a move that would allow fi shermen to hold a three-day limit of black bass (largemouth and spotted bass) in areas south of the state’s saltwater line.

Syrian conflict affects health careBEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s health care system is on the brink of col-lapse, with medics forced to en-gage in “brutal medical practices” to save lives: knocking out patients with metal bars because of lack of anesthesia or amputating infants’ limbs for lack of other ways to treat their injuries, an international charity organization said in a report published on Monday.

Newborns die in hospital in-cubators during power outages while millions of children have been exposed to deadly diseases,

some of which are preventable with vaccinations and basic medical equipment, Save the Children said.

Confl ict has ravaged Syria for three years and has hit the coun-try’s health facilities and health providers hard. Hospitals have been bombed by government forces in rebel-held areas. Armed men with the opposition have forced their way into clinics to have their fi ght-ers treated. Many doctors have fl ed the country.

“This humanitarian crisis has fast become a health crisis,” Save the Children’s regional director Roger Hearn said in a statement.

Student Government will have two tickets for the upcom-ing election.

One of the tickets, called The Next Step, will have Clay Tufts and Taylor Lambert on it. The other ticket, Experience LSU, will include Christian Coleman and Ashleigh Pichon.

There was originally a third ticket, but John Myles and Whit-ney Williams decided to with-draw from the election because they said they were unprepared.

This Friday, the official SG tickets will be announced with a list of senators attached to the presidential candidates.

Next week will be active campaigning for the candidates, and a debate will be held at 7 p.m. on March 20 in the Holli-day Forum. On March 24, there’s

a 24-hour voting period with possible voting stations at the dining halls. By March 26, the election board will announce the results in the Live Oak Lounge of the Student Union.

Undergraduate students show-cased their research Monday at the University’s inaugural Discover Research Day. More than 130 stu-dents from the various colleges presented their methodology and findings as part of the University’s Quality Enhancement Plan for re-affirmation of reaccreditation.

Students who attended Dis-cover Research Day talked to fel-low peers about the pros and cons of undergraduate research and why it’s an important part of the college experience.

“What comes to your mind when you hear research?” asked Kalliat Valsaraj, vice chancellor of Research and Economic Develop-ment. “Grad students, professors running around in white coats. Undergraduate research is often forgotten, and these students have a passion for research.”

There were also live demon-strations of the final products of research.

One presentation showed the collaboration between the College of Engineering and the College of Music and Dramatic Arts. Mark Gibson, physical the-atre senior, said he approached civil engineering senior Joshua Brown about bringing engineer-ing aspects to theater. The project, ORIGIN, is an 8-foot in diam-eter “buckyball” contraption made of aluminum that the physical theatre students performed in,

on top of and around. Because of their collaborative efforts, the proj-ect received a $3,000 grant from enOvation.

“In physical theater, there is no structure like this,” Brown said.

A brass quintet composed of School of Music students An-thony Ficklin, Brent Gosset, Fran-cis Steib, Phil Shapiro and John LeNoir performed Quintet No. 1 by Victor Ewald to illustrate the positive effects of research in the college.

Two students from the Univer-sity of Florida also displayed their findings regarding the correlation between music and cancerous cells. Stepfanie Lam, microbiol-ogy sophomore, and Ginny Lane, cello performance and chemical engineering sophomore, created a musical composition using the

nucleotides present in cancerous DNA compared to that of noncan-cerous DNA. Using the nucleotides A,G,C, and T as notes, Lam and Lane compared how the two pieces of music sounded when played on the cello.

“We’re telling a musical story about a deleted gene,” Lane said.

Randy Duran, director of un-dergraduate research said Discover Research Day is a pilot and will eventually expand into a week-long event. Research Day aims to create more collaborations across campus between humanists, engineers, mu-sicians and other students.

on the center of the stage, awaiting the rapper’s arrival.

Lil Boosie, also known as Torrence Hatch, was arrested on drug charges in 2009. After vio-lating his probation, Boosie’s sen-tence was doubled to eight years at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola. He served 52 months before his release and is cur-rently on probation, which could last up to four years.

Boosie has had a strong support system during his career. His fam-ily and fellow artists, such as Bun B, Webbie and Jeezy, were in atten-dance to celebrate his homecoming.

The rap artist has a large follow-ing, and his fan base has grown de-spite his years away from the public eye. Boosie further explained that in the beginning of his career his sole purpose was to raise enough money to help his family. As his popularity grew, he realized the effect his music had on his listeners.

“The support system I have now is insane,” Boosie said. “I’m

getting letters from fans in Europe and Australia.”

During the press conference, Boosie said he intends to remain with his current record label, Trill Entertainment. He also revealed that he wrote 1,018 songs while in prison on a variety of topics. Boosie mentioned he is already recording material for his next album, which will feature artists like Jeezy and Lil Wayne. He is planning a tour to be-gin later this spring.

“I’ve got more stories to tell about my life and my family,” Boosie said.

The rapper said he has written his own movie, titled “Boosie: The Movie,” which he hopes to release in theaters later this year. Boosie said he would like to venture into acting after the release of his album.

Angela Yee, radio personality for 105.1 FM and host of the press conference, said the event was “huge for the hip-hop community.”

“He said, ‘There’s no king of the South right now,’ and that title is his for the taking,” Yee said.

Rumors of Boosie’s prison

release began rising in early 2014. The dates changed multiple times before the March release was con-fi rmed.

“I had more release dates than Jordan,” Boosie said.

Roy Maughan, a member of Boosie’s legal team and University alumnus, elaborated on the changes in Boosie’s release dates. Maughan said the shift in dates was caused by the court’s assessment of the good deeds Boosie did while incarcerated.

“He participated in things like anger management and drug aware-ness, which reduced his time,” Maughan said. “It was just a mat-ter of determining how shortened it was.”

Boosie said he is most excited about returning to the top of rap mu-sic and being able to take care of his family.

“This is who I really do it for, my family,” Boosie said. “I want them to live the best life possible and I know I can make that happen.”

familiar with eduroam, it is a widely used wireless access network for ed-ucational institutions.

Rios said the University was one of the fi rst places in the United States to implement it.

Eduroam started in Europe and has recently become more popular here, Rios said. Nearby institutions that use eduroam include Tulane University, Texas A&M, University of Houston, Rice University and the LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans.

Rios said there are a total of 143 institutions in the country using edu-roam now.

University wireless users will

be able to use their login informa-tion not only on the Baton Rouge campus, but any other location worldwide that uses eduroam, Rios said.

“If you’re backpacking in Eu-rope and are by a university [with eduroam], you can hop on the Wi-Fi for free,” Thompson said.

“It’s a solid service, and it’s not going to go away,” Rios said.

Rios and Thompson said they expect mild issues during the initial transfer period because users will need to add “@lsu.edu” to their user-names.

Thompson said this addition is similar to what students must in-put now to access their University email accounts.

Other than this requirement, the eduroam access process will be the same as that of lsusecure.

“We’ve gone through it be-fore without the world exploding,” Thompson said.

Whether it’s football season in the fall or baseball getting underway in the spring, an old saying rings true around Baton Rouge — nothing mat-ters until the start of Southeastern Conference play.

And when the Tigers arrive in Nashville on Friday to play the fi rst of three games against Vanderbilt , that’s precisely where they will fi nd themselves.

With mid-week games against Nicholls State and Southern remain-ing between now and then, LSU will likely begin conference play with a respectable record of 16-2 .

Losing two nonconference games isn’t a big deal, but some of the mistakes that cost LSU those games are troubling — the infi eld’s defensive struggles, specifi cally.

Despite the persistent defensive lapses, the soft competition didn’t have enough fi repower to take ad-vantage of LSU’s fi elding miscues. However, with SEC play about to begin, it’s going to get much tougher from here.

The defi ciencies that can be masked by superior talent against Purdue , Toledo or UNO will be ex-posed against the Vanderbilts and Mississippi States of the world — both are due up for the Tigers in the

There are no stoplights, ei-ther — only three gas stations.

The town gets by, though, seeing as it only has one two-lane highway.

Scivicque , the surprise of the pre-Southeastern Conference

But it’s the winding road Scivicque took to get to Baton Rouge that’s quirkier than his hometown.

While he was a senior trying to get noticed at Maurepas High School, Scivicque’s fi rst cousin did what any family member would and put a call in to a friend

“Just trying to do the kid a favor,” Davis remembered. “I’d never seen the kid play and I fi gured, ‘[He’s] from Maurepas, I’m sure he’s a decent player. But how good can he be? Nothing for us.’”

Scivicque and Davis shared

baseball

There are only two words to describe LSU sophomore shortstop Alex Bregman’s intentions before the squad heads to Vanderbilt to be-gin Southeastern Conference play this weekend: achieve perfection.

The 2014 LSU baseball team has been anything but perfect through the first 16 games, but the team has its chance to clean up any straggling issues this week, with both Nicholls State and South-ern University rolling in to Baton Rouge today and Wednesday.

Bregman said the current LSU roster has enough talent to compete with any squad in the country when it plays up to its potential.

“I think we need to polish up everything, honestly,” Bregman said. “We have a lot of improving to do on the base paths, at the plate, defensively and on the mound. We could just fine-tune everything and just compete. When we compete, we play well, and if we play well, then we can win whenever we go out there.”

For the second straight season, Nicholls State will be one of LSU’s final nonconference opponents before SEC play begins.

Last year, LSU played the Colonels twice. The first contest was one of then-sophomore south-paw Cody Glenn’s final chances

to acquire a weekend spot. He did so after tossing seven shutout in-nings in a 2-0 victory. The Tigers also downed Nicholls State 9-3 one week later to sweep the season series.

Heading into today’s contest, LSU coach Paul Mainieri has al-ready solidified his weekend rota-tion for the Vanderbilt series — ju-niors Aaron Nola and Kyle Bouman will pitch Friday and Saturday, respectively, and freshman Jared Poche’ will toss Sunday’s contest.

Today’s matchup against the Colonels will instead be a chance for the Tigers’ pitchers to log key innings and stay fresh heading into the weekend.

“[Nicholls State has] a fine club,” Mainieri said. “Nich-olls State will be ready to play, there’s no question about it. Brady Domangue will get the ball, and hopefully he can give us five good innings, and then we can use our bullpen to sharpen up those guys for the weekend. We’re going to play to win. You don’t develop as a team unless you’re out there and playing well.”

It will be Domangue’s second start of his LSU career — the ju-nior college transfer tossed three innings against Sacred Heart on March 5, surrendering one run on three hits.

A number of reserves will likely get playing time during both

midweek contests because of inju-ries and inconsistencies throughout the starting lineup.

Mainieri said he is still work-ing out the batting order against both right- and left-handed pitch-ers. Both freshman Kramer Rob-ertson and junior Conner Hale have shared time in the Tigers’ lineup at second base, while Hale and junior Tyler Moore have split games at first base.

Last season, Moore hit for a .291 batting average against right-handed pitchers. He only hit .222 against southpaws.

Freshman infielder Danny Zardon will get work at third base both today and Wednesday after se-nior third baseman Christian Ibarra tweaked his hamstring Saturday against Purdue.

“As he was running out a double play, he hit into, it kind of grabbed him a little bit,” Mainieri said. “We don’t think it’s as serious as we feared [Saturday night]. He wasn’t as sore [Sunday] as he was on Saturday, which is a good sign. We’ll hold him out for these mid-week games, and hopefully he’ll be ready to go by Friday.”

issues over the past few sea-sons, most notably when former LSU lineman Josh Dworaczyk addressed the media after the Shady’s bar brawl involving former quarterback Jordan Jef-ferson, and when former running back Jeremy Hill was arrested after a Tigerland bar fight.

Different numbers, same players

If there appears to be some-thing different about LSU ju-nior offensive tackle Vadal Al-exander’s jersey this season, it’s because he changed num-bers from No. 78 to No. 74 this spring.

Alexander finally got his hands on his old high school number following former No. 74 Josh Williford’s graduation last semester.

“I love this number,” said an excited Alexander. “Ever since my freshman year, I’ve been try-ing to get it.”

Alexander said he claimed the No. 74 jersey during his freshman season, asking Wil-liford for it once he left. Alex-ander said he reminded Wil-liford about it toward the end of last season and was happy once he was able to make the switch.

LSU junior linebacker Kwon Alexander also made a change from the No. 25 jersey to the No. 4 jersey, but said the mo-tives for his swap were largely preference-based and had no real

sentimental value.

Defense winning early practices

Monday was only the sec-ond official practice of the spring for the Tigers, but LSU junior linebacker Lamar Louis said the defensive unit is tak-ing an early lead against the offense.

“I’m not being biased, but if you had to say which side of the ball has been winning, it’s the defense,” Louis said. “Coach Miles said today that the defense had a lot of good takeaways from the offense, and if any-body won, it was the defensive package.”

Louis said the defense is clicking like never before, even after only two practices.

The Tigers’ defense is com-ing off a less-than-stellar year and is in need of replacing sev-eral unit veterans, particularly at linebacker where LSU lost Lamin Barrow.

Louis started spring prac-tice in a green jersey Saturday, after having what he described as a small procedure on his wrist stemming from an injury last season.

next few weekends. As the level of competition

ratchets up, weaknesses will be mag-nified. It’s an old baseball adage that you can’t hide a poor fielder because the ball will always find them at the most crucial time.

Ironically, LSU’s best all-around player, sophomore shortstop Alex Bregman, is also its biggest li-ability. He’s a sensational offensive player and a force in the middle of the lineup, but his lack of fluidity at a premium defensive position has cost LSU baseball games — cough, Omaha — and will continue to do so going forward.

Bregman has committed a team high five of LSU’s 11 errors this sea-son. Third baseman Christian Ibarra and second baseman Kramer Robert-son have committed errors as well, but shortstop is a tougher position, which makes it that much easier to identify flaws.

He’s generally given a free pass by LSU coach Paul Mainieri and members of the media because of his bat and unquestioned work ethic, but no amount of practice grounders guarantees someone will become a slick fielder.

A catcher throughout high school, Bregman has clearly put in hours upon hours of work to make himself even a serviceable infielder. After watching him play on a regu-lar basis, that work is actually at the heart of his defensive struggles.

He’s got the athletic ability, range and arm strength to play the position, but he frequently tries to do too much too quickly, which leads

to errors. He’s constantly playing in fast forward and nothing is ever smooth and easy, clear signals that his intensity may actually be detri-mental in the field.

Baseball is a game of patience, best played under control with a clear head space. Before the season started, Bregman said he internal-ized his error that allowed the game-winning run to score against UCLA during the College World Series and used it as motivation to better him-self during the offseason.

That’s fine when trying to main-tain focus for practice grounder 1,000 on an offseason afternoon and no one is watching. But now it looks like he’s thinking about that error ev-ery time a ball is hit in his direction.

There is no obvious position switch to shore up the defense, so it’s highly unlikely Mainieri will ever move Bregman from shortstop. So the errors are either something Breg-man needs to fix, just as unlikely, or something LSU is going to have to live with all season.

Bregman was able to recover on some bobbles to play an errorless series against Purdue, but bad field-ing is the kind of thing that can come back and bite a team in a big spot. And late in a one-run game against the SEC’s elite, it’s the kind of thing that loses baseball games.

and he committed to SMCC, with Louisiana College as his only other offer out of high school. He told Davis the good news in per-son when the two ran into each other at a high school tourna-ment where Davis’ brother was playing.

The following spring, as Davis pored over statistics of junior college prospects, a familiar named popped on screen.

“He was [SMCC]’s leading hitter,” Davis said. “I put it in the back of my mind, ‘Hey, we may need to go see this kid.’”

Turns out, Davis would bare-ly need to leave his office.

Playing summer ball with the Baton Rouge White Sox for the third straight summer, Sciv-icque and his team came to Alex Box Stadium for a weekend se-ries after his freshman season at SMCC.

“He ends up hitting a couple homers, a couple balls off the wall, really good arm behind the plate and just a grinder,” Davis said. “It was like 110 degrees and they were beating some team like 15-0 and he’s still blocking ev-erything behind the plate.”

Davis was so impressed, he convinced LSU coach Paul Mainieri to watch a game.

“I really liked how his de-meanor was,” Mainieri said. “He’s a big, strong kid. I thought he had some arm strength, and I

thought the ball jumped off his bat.”

White Sox head coach Ron-nie Rantz, a former LSU pitcher, said the demeanor the coaches saw didn’t manifest overnight.

Rantz remembered the first summer he coached Scivicque, when the rising high school senior still concentrated on pitching; he hit under .200 and had trouble translating his small school suc-cess to an older, more competitive environment.

“His body matured, he got a little bigger and stronger, and he became a real competitive kid,” Rantz said. “He matured as a man, physically and mentally. I knew he was good enough to play college ball after his second summer with me.”

Other schools began to agree with Rantz. Southern Miss, Southeastern and Mississippi State began to call.

But the dream was LSU. Davis and staff wanted to play the process slowly, but were pressured by the other schools inquiring, especially when UNO came call-ing and offered Scivicque a spot on their team after his freshman season.

With Ty Ross coming back in 2013 and fellow freshmen Chris Chinea and Michael Barash also in the mix, LSU didn’t need an-other catcher, but Scivicque was told he could come the follow-ing year and compete with the veterans.

He accepted.“It’s a dream come true,”

Scivicque said. “I’ve always

dreamed of playing baseball here. I’ve always come to all the games, supported LSU and been a big fan.”

The road hasn’t been with-out bumps. Mainieri said there was a period of adjustment for Scivicque, when he was forced to learn nuances of the game and face criticism he never received in small town Maurepas.

“He never hung his head,” Mainieri said. “He didn’t get down on himself, and he wanted to learn. He never took it per-sonal when the coaches were pushing him and I started to see throughout the fall that he kept improving.”

Scivicque said the switch clicked after Christmas, as he came back to school more locked in — at the plate and in the class-room — resulting in his early season success.

For Davis, each of Sciv-icque’s hits is a reminder of the crazy turn of events that got him from the “backroads and back-fields” to Baton Rouge.

“At the time, I was just do-ing it out of the goodness of my heart,” Davis said. “I never dreamed the kid would be good enough to play for LSU be-ing from Maurepas. It’s good to know if you do things the right way, sometimes they do come full circle.”

Cirque du Soleil’s show “Va-rekai” flies to the Baton Rouge River Center this week.

Cirque du Soleil formed from a group of 20 street per-formers in 1984 and is now a ma-jor Quebec-based organization exhibiting acrobatic circus enter-tainment. There are currently 19 shows being exhibited through-out the world created by Cirque du Soleil.

“Varekai” is about a boy who is brought into the depths of a mystical forest that showcases a world of enchanted creatures and creative movement. The cast brings to life the story of this new world. The boy sets off for an adventure for the audience to follow.

The use of bold and trans-lucent colors add to the show’s mystical appearance through a display of costumes. The audi-ence can watch people flying

through the air and above the stage as acrobatic silhouettes, and the show incorporates many movements and stunts that are daring in nature. There are sev-eral acts that involve the Aerial Hoop and Aerial Straps.

The cast of Cirque is diverse, with more than 5,000 employ-ees from more than 50 countries represented within the company. “Varekai” has 50 performers from 18 countries. In about a year, they visit around 40 to 45 cities to perform the show, which runs for several days in each city.

Cirque du Soleil has training for new members of the company that can take about three months to a year depending on candi-dates’ skills, including English classes for non-English speakers to ease their transition into the crew.

“The show is about dance and movement,” said Vanessa Napoli, publicist of “Varekai.” “Even though some necessarily don’t speak English … they still

communicate through body lan-guage, which is beautiful about this show.”

The show’s use of high-pre-forming acts and creative circus artistry showcase the Romany foundation of Cirque du Soleil.

“It’s beautiful, and the audi-ence will get overwhelmed visu-ally; it’s theatrical,” Napoli said. “It represents what Cirque du So-leil stands for; amazing aerobat-ics, beautiful costumes and wide use of the stage.”

She said the show transports viewers into a dream world where the audience can see firsthand the artistry behind “Varekai.”

There are more than 130 costumes in the “Varekai” ward-robe. Moleskin is one of the most commonly used fabrics. Other special materials include flexible titanium rods, sponge nylon and different types of fire-resistant materials. These materials are necessary for the members to

Considerdifferent views on Boosie

Torrence Hatch, known better by his informal moniker Lil Boosie, was released from Angola prison last week after serving five years on possession charges. Dur-ing his time in prison, the “Free Boosie” m o v e m e n t spread through L o u i s i a n a like wildfire. Almost any-where in the state, one could find people wearing shirts that proudly proclaimed their adoration for a convicted criminal.

All we really know about Boosie is that he pleaded guilty to attempted drug smuggling and was acquitted of murder, yet it seems al-most unanimously the people of this state wanted him to be free. Boosie’s story is just one example of our so-ciety prioritizing celebrity over all else.

It’s easy to understand why Boosie’s story is so appealing. He came from a notoriously bad neigh-borhood in Baton Rouge, and clearly

GeekTheaterVampires, cowboys and communists make for pret-

ty strange company, but student director Michael Mentz thinks they make for cutting-edge theater too.

Mentz and his crew will present their adaptation of “Vampire Cowboy Trilogy” this week in the Studio The-atre in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. The crew’s hope is that their campy and comical play will attract un-likely audiences to the art of drama.

“I wanted to do something new, something that wasn’t ‘Hamlet’ for the hundredth time — and this was it,” Mentz said.

“Vampire Cowboy Trilogy” is a three-act comedy that doesn’t pull any punches. It relies heavily on stage combat and choreographed fighting to produce a comic book aes-thetic in homage to the so-called nerd culture that inspired its creation. Each of the three acts has its own separate plot, and the play proceeds in historically chronological order.

The first act invokes the film noir of the 1920s with its ghost-and-detective plot. The second act takes the audience through the golden age of comic books and highlights the sensationalism of the Cold War. The third act combines the mystery and angst of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” with the adventure and intrigue of “Xena: Warrior Princess.”

Filmmaker Wes Anderson has made a name for himself by creating a signature look in all his films. Each work is a swirl of corduroys, emotional coloring and sweet men with haircuts who denote waxing philosophic.

Anderson’s well-known style makes each of his movies, from “Rushmore” to “Moonrise Kingdom,” fall together as pieces in a grander puzzle of the same universe. This allows fans of Anderson’s movies to enjoy his films in any order without worry-ing about issues of continuity or extrinsic plot points.

For Anderson’s Louisi-ana admirers, an issue has risen with the March 7 U.S. release of his most recent film, “The

Grand Budapest Hotel.” Many moviegoers scoured the state’s cinemas for show times only to be disappointed by the apparent lack of Anderson’s highly rated piece. The absence continues to make waves with fans, who are hoping “The Grand Budapest Hotel” will begin playing with a wider release.

The actual issue here is the apparent neglect given to Loui-siana’s movie lovers. If the ab-sence of the Anderson movie is, in fact, because of a select theater release, it’s an unpleasant over-sight to a greatly deserving state. I find select releases to be unnec-essary acts of hyping movies that already have significant support from fans. Internet buzz alone is enough to get people behind something, be it a film, album or video game.

Despite a disapproval of se-lect releases, I acknowledge that if they are used to also give praise and prestige to movies, fans feel they are deserving of such

niceties. Louisiana was owed at least one theater for this release. Filmmakers have long been at-tracted to Louisiana’s landscape as well as the many benefits of filming instate, including tax cuts and a considerable body of actors ready to perform.

It’s not a surprise that An-derson has become the ubiqui-tous name behind the idea of a film both mainstream and with a cult following. Appreciation of his work has gone so far as to develop “Wes Anderson” into an adjective, being applied to any and all things eccentric, slightly awkward or sentimentally nos-talgic. All of these appreciative

aspects of his work are pres-ent in Louisiana, let alone other states that received a special release.

If the cinematic background of the state is not enough to defend Louisiana’s worthiness of an An-derson release, a Wes Anderson film series is currently being held at the Prytania Theatre in New Orleans. Even though this is an event that would surely warrant a special release, the Prytania is be-ing denied “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” disappointing many mov-iegoers hopeful of attending an early screening.

I’m sure the movie will begin opening in theaters in

Louisiana and across the country within the next few weeks. This successful limited release of only four screens in New York and Los Angeles marked the film as the highest-grossing limited live action debut of all time. If mov-ies are going to continue to take advantage of the special release, consider paying back states that offer so much to both filmmakers and box offices.

FASHION

For Crystal Taylor and Chas-sie Hill, fashion is a lifestyle.

In 2013, Taylor and Hill added ownership of an online boutique to their resumes. Taylor also writes her own fashion blog, “Billie Jean,” and works in retail. Hill is a stylist for Rae Cosmetics, doing hair and makeup for events like proms and weddings.

Together, the sisters run Crown of Glory, an online hair boutique that sells an array of hair accessories, including headbands, head wraps and turbans.

A portion of their profits goes toward their foundation, The San-dra Jean Foundation. Taylor and Hill’s grandmother, Sandra Jean, lost her fight with ovarian cancer in 1999. The sisters pay homage to their grandmother with the foun-dation. The money goes toward buying wigs for women who have lost their hair, or “crown of glory,” through cancer treatment.

Right now, the business is on-line and run out of Hill and Taylor’s hometown of Austin, Texas. Hill lives in Austin and Taylor lives in Baton Rouge. Taylor and Hill use family events and social media to come together to work on the com-pany. Hill said Taylor comes back to Austin about once a month for gatherings and to bring her daugh-ter to visit the family.

“We get it done and make it work,” Hill said.

Crown of Glory finds talented vendors and buys wholesale from them to sell the headbands in the online boutique. The company acts as the middle man between the

designers and the consumers. “We are eventually going to

have a hair salon as well where we sell the hair accessories,” Taylor said.

Hill, who has a cosmetology license, said she plans to do her cosmetology work at the salon along with selling headbands.

“I am the one who finds the vendors, buys the products and does the marketing for the busi-ness,” ” Taylor said. “Once we have our salon finished, I will only help with maintaining the website and marketing.” She said the salon will mainly be Hill’s.

Hill said the headbands range from elegant for proms, dates and homecomings to casual for every-day wear. The “Zelda Halo” in-cludes feathers and jewels while the “Anchor Wire Headband” comes in multiple colors and works well with a plain T-shirt.

A new addition to the online website is a headband inspired by LSU. Hill described the headband as turban style that twists in the front and is purple on one half and gold on the other half.

“We had our LSU headband custom made with LSU colors,” Taylor said. “We are marketing them for campus wear and for tailgates. We also have a gold and yellow headband that we are want-ing to also market towards LSU students.”

The headbands in Hill and Taylor’s online bou-tique can be purchased at crownofglory.bigcartel.com.

there is something to be said for the potency of the redemption tale. It’s a story that speaks to the heart of the American dream. Disenfranchised youths overcoming the challenges that face them to mass acclaim, it’s hard to imagine not wanting some-one like this to succeed. But appar-ently it’s even harder to imagine that the realization of the American dream may not be a positive thing.

There is a dichotomy between the man Torrence Hatch and the character of Lil Boosie. While Boosie raps about murder and drugs, Hatch is supposedly a changed man deserving of his freedom. Does the public want Hatch or Boosie to be free? These are the questions that

our culture must ask itself before it is able to justify movements with such severe political implications like this one.

Though many would argue that Boosie’s crimes were victimless, he still broke the law. Why does he warrant the love and affection of the masses when there are so many forgotten faces locked away for the same reasons? Do we support Boosie because we truly believe he deserves his freedom or because we refuse to believe that our judgment of him was wrong? We need to think about whether the problem is with the laws, or if our problem is with admitting that we are wrong.

theater,” Mentz said.Mentz’s production of the

play will be the culmination of two years of work. Now a gradu-ating senior, Mentz proposed the project in his sophomore year with hopes of directing it as a part of the Lab Season, a series of student-directed productions at the University that begins in September and ends in May. His proposal was rejected, but he continued to flesh it out, and at the end of last year, faculty advis-ers gave him the go-ahead to put on the show.

For the most part, Mentz’s adaptation is faithful to the original “Vampire Cowboy Tril-ogy” written by Qui Nguyen and Robert Ross Parker in 2003. The script contains very little direction in the way of sound, costuming or choreography, so

Mentz assembled a crew of his peers to bring their own flair to the production.

“The department gave us a $250 budget, but we went under that and still made something very cool,” Mentz said.

Caila Gowland, the show’s costume designer, designed 27 different costumes for the pro-duction. With the help of faculty adviser Nick Erickson, she also choreographed nearly all of the play’s myriad fight scenes.

“We used a lot of ‘nicking,’ which is a comical style, so it looks and sounds like people are fighting because of the angles their bodies are moving at, but no one’s getting hurt,” Gowland said.

Lauren Stefanski, the show’s sound designer, incorporated both custom sounds and iconic cinematic scores into each scene.

“There’s comic sounds, and

then there’s the themes to ‘Poke-mon,’ ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Rocky,’ and they all sound really cool to-gether,” Stefanski said.

Mentz chose to direct “Vam-pire Cowboy Trilogy” precisely because of its comedic attributes. There are a few darker scenes in the play designed to temporarily jar the audience from the whimsi-cal experience.

“I love comedy, and I think it works best in contrast — it’s about creating expectation and then disrupting it,” Mentz said.

“Vampire Cowboy Trilogy” premieres at 7:30 p.m. tonight. The show will run at the same time every night until Saturday and conclude with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10.

Newspaper headlines are a thing of mystery. Puns, snarky remarks and infor-mation all jumbled into a six or seven-word title.

Some “clever” headlines are harm-less and corny. The Advocate’s head-line for a review of the film “Non-Stop” reads, “‘Non-Stop’ flies on cruise con-trol.” There’s a play on the film taking place on an airplane, and it foreshadows the review’s content.

However, last Monday’s newspapers couldn’t stop themselves from making cracks at the oh-so-funny topic of slavery.

At the 86th Academy Awards, the Louisiana-filmed “12 Years a Slave” took home the highest honor – Best Picture.

Instead of celebrating the first ever Best Picture winner directed by a black man, newspapers across the country de-cided to take the film’s serious subject matter a little too lightly.

Two glaringly offensive headlines read “‘Slave’ becomes master” and “‘12 Years a Slave’ escapes with top Oscar.”

While these types of pun-filled head-lines might be appropriate for other films that don’t tackle such a sensitive and somber subject, we should not have to

say that slavery jokes should be retired.I don’t recall this type of mockery

when Holocaust or World War II-related films have taken away numerous Oscars. There were no jokes about “Schindler’s List,” “Saving Private Ryan” or “The Pianist.”

Interestingly enough, a journalist and psychologist have recently discov-ered the amount of time that needs to pass before something tragic can be appropri-ately joked about. Scientifically speaking, a joke can actually be made “too soon.”

Research found “tweets about Hur-ricane Sandy to be least funny 15 days after it struck, most funny 36 days after the fact and once again not funny 99 days later.”

The problem with these “12 Years a Slave” jokes, though, is that slavery and the subsequent oppression of black peo-ple and other people of color is nowhere near over. Therefore, there is never going to be an appropriate time for this type of insensitivity.

The media are responsible for har-vesting public opinion and general at-titudes toward certain subjects. It’s the media’s job to be respectful of the topics they cover. I don’t want to read a head-line that sounds so offensive that I have to double-check that I’m not reading The Onion on accident again.

While many may think a few cracks about a slavery movie are inoffensive, it’s crucial to realize how influential the win

for “12 Years a Slave” is. Best Supporting Actress winner and

“12 Years a Slave” star Lupita Nyong’o said she was inspired to be in films when she saw Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg in “The Color Purple.” Gold-berg, in turn, saw Nichelle Nichols por-tray Lieutenant Uhura on “Star Trek” and realized she, too, could be an actress.

Nyong’o’s Cinderella story has great potential to influence several other young black women to follow in her footsteps.

Entertainment is an important factor in the development of America’s attitude toward race, gender and sexuality. Not only is it influenced by our current per-ceptions, it influences them as well.

The media should be smart enough to notice the significance of events like these. Making light of serious and im-portant events, even if they are only in less-respected fields like entertainment, is rude and minimalizes their power.

Would these same newspapers print headlines like “Crimea River” during the conflict in Ukraine? Probably not.

While most of the LSU student body and the world watched as Lil Boosie, aka Torrence Hatch, talked to the media on Monday for the first time since his release from prison, Gov. Bobby Jindal addressed the state Legislature as it began its 2014 session.

And we all were better off watching Boosie an-nounce the creation of more than 1,000 new songs and an album than listening to Jindal spout off about the creation of jobs.

The latter spent the majority of his speech de-scribing the success stories of eight Louisiana trans-plants who had left the state to look for work, only to return and find jobs here.

He praised the state for its economic growth, and he continually reiterated that jobs are being created in Louisiana.

He then turned his focus to students, who he em-phasized need to be trained to fill the jobs available in our burgeoning economy.

But this flies in the face of everything Jindal has done in the past, and although clichéd, this speech proves actions speak louder than words.

Faced with dwindling revenue, Jindal has cut millions and millions from state higher education institutions.

In this year’s proposed budget, higher education would see a $140 million increase in funding, but most of this would come from raising tuition instead of any investment from this economically viable, job-creating state.

The one check mark in Jindal’s box is the newly announced WISE plan, which would reward universi-ties that are meeting the demands of the workforce. But even that needed to first be initiated by a letter from the collective heads of the state’s higher educa-tion institutions to get Jindal thinking about their fiscal future.

Other than that, Jindal doesn’t have much to show from his time as governor in terms of support for high-er education.

He must know that those with college degrees generally are in better health, rely less on welfare pro-grams and are more likely to interact with their com-munity, according to a study for Solutions for Our Future.

These are all potentially beneficial to the citizens and residents of our state.

If Jindal were really focused on bettering higher education, he’d toss some money to our universities’ professors, who are responsible for educating the next generation of workers and who are leaving our con-stantly shrinking departments for the promise of better wages.

If Jindal really liked those nice murals painted downtown in an effort to beautify the city and draw residents to Baton Rouge, he’d repair our campus’ dilapidated buildings that threaten to collapse on the next generation of Louisiana artists.

If Jindal were actually thinking about the future, he’d put his money where his mouth is and invest in students — for once.

OUR LADY OF ANGSTSidneyRoSe ReynenColumnist

ANNE LIPSCOMB / The Daily Reveille

Tact should not be forgotten in pursuit of wit‘Punny’ headlines can cross the line

The American dream is one that is deferred. Just like the Younger family in Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” many Americans are waiting on a check and already know what they want to spend it on.

Gov. Bobby Jindal said at the Con-servative Political Action Conference in Washington last week that the Obama ad-ministration has assaulted the American dream. Jindal said that the president is at-tempting to redefi ne success in America through government dependence.

Uncle Sam has picked up my tab a time or two. I ate reduced-priced lunches in grade school. I got Pell grants when I came to LSU. I also receive the TOPS scholarship. I understand the benefi ts of government assistance.

But there is a time to hop off of the governmental gravy train.

Social welfare is an excellent thing and should be present to assist Americans in times of need and provide them with tools to become successful. Everyone gets down and out, and sometimes it’s more extreme than others. But from what I see in the workforce and outside the walls of the University, folks are stretching out their hand not for help getting back up, but to have a few U.S. dollars placed in their palm.

I grew up in a neighborhood where many people received government assis-tance such as food stamps and commodi-ties. However, these were the same indi-viduals who would do odd jobs to stay off of the IRS grid and use their money for a case of Budweiser instead of the elec-tric bill. It seems this is now a prevalent occurrence.

This is not solely a problem that began with President Barack Obama as Jindal said, but one that has snowballed greatly in his time in offi ce. There is a strange sense of entitlement that has come over many Americans. It is the false notion that because they live in America, they should not face any adversity and deserve a re-ward for the challenges they have endured. The promise by politicians has become happiness and not the pursuit of it. No one can promise that, and no one should expect it.

Jindal also said Obama was not do-ing enough to help improve the country’s educational system and millions of stu-dents are trapped in failing schools. These are big words coming from the governor of a state that ranks quite low regard-ing the nation’s education. This is pos-sibly because of the ridiculous rates of poverty in Louisiana, which hinder the success of children early in school and thereafter.

More social welfare is not the answer to ending poverty and generating prosper-ous schools and students. The answer is

not an algorithm or equation of numbers. It is not within a political party either. Peo-ple like you and me created the American dream. Jane and John Does who bent over backwards to provide for themselves and others constructed it. Therefore, we can rebuild and revive it.

Never be afraid to ask for help, but it is nothing a person should make a habit of. People are capable of more than they think.

The governor said at the conference that the best years for America are ahead of us and not behind us. I cannot help but agree.

Justin Stafford is a 21-year-old mass communication junior from Walker, La.

Last week, Gov. Bobby Jindal spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference and, as usual, joined other Re-publican speakers in attacking the Obama administration.

Louisianans should care about what our governor is doing in the CPAC and be wary of his rhetoric. It is not for our inter-est, but rather for the special interest.

In a speech where Jindal called Presi-dent Barack Obama the most liberal presi-dent with a weak foreign policy who seeks to downsize the military, he ignored that Eisenhower also sought to downsize the military and didn’t act when the Soviets invaded Hungary.

Jindal’s most highlighted state-ment during the speech was made when he claimed that Obama has launched an “assault on the American Dream” and religious freedom.

I personally am not a supporter of Obama and have strong opinions on why I chose to not vote for him both times, but Jindal’s subjective, crowd-pleasing state-ments are childish and serve to downgrade legitimate grievances people have with Obama to partisan talking points.

Jindal goes so far as to say Obama’s defi nition of the American Dream is de-pendence on government.

If that is the case, then why in 2010 did Obama give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to investor legend Warren Buf-fett? Obama’s speech highlighted Buffett’s business honesty and integrity as not only moral but good for the economy.

Another of Jindal’s major critiques of Obama centered on the defi cit and debt. This is an easy and cheap attack on Obama. After you pass freshman-level economic courses, you will learn the pri-mary source of debt in the United States generally comes from recessions. Reces-sions are expensive, and America’s last one — the greatest and most destructive recession since the 1930s — happened under the watchful eyes of the George W. Bush administration.

The most insulting thing Jindal claimed was that Obama is the worst presi-dent in his lifetime. I would suggest Jindal take a look at the Bush administration, but he probably would ignore its failures since he was once part of it.

When Bush took offi ce in 2001, the United States had a surplus of $236 bil-lion. When Obama took offi ce in 2009, Bush left him a defi cit of $1.4 trillion, two wars, a health care crisis, a deep economic recession and a fi nancial crisis.

Another thing Jindal neglected to mention was that Bush didn’t do anything in regard to Russia’s full scale war against Georgia, which is likely what encouraged Russia’s action in Crimea more than some theoretical view that Putin felt Obama was weak.

Jindal is a mouthpiece for the Chris-tian Right and big business, yet he offers nothing new except attempts to up the ante with anti-Obama rhetoric.

I would advise Jindal that the truth is always enough in regard to criticizing Obama. There is no need to mislead peo-ple and drum up GOP talking points and rhetoric.

The irony is that if Jindal really cared about education, he would try to lift people out of poverty instead of ignoring those stuck in it. Republicans like Jindal are destroying the American Dream by mak-ing its achievement more and more exclu-sive instead of a common journey in any American’s life.

director of Facility Services, said lead and asbestos in the Studio Arts Building are safe because they are properly maintained.

Another major issue is water. Ellen Farrar, painting and draw-ing senior, said sinks often back up and open drains in the fl oor over-fl ow. Painting and drawing junior Stephanie Binning said her hus-band once had to unstop a sink in the building.

The basement of the building fl oods when it rains. Not only does water enter around a door that leads outside, when there is a lot of rain, studios in the basement can fl ood as well. Binning said this could easily destroy students’ work.

There is exposed wiring throughout the building, some of which is near students’ lock-ers in the main hallway. When the ceiling leaks — which it of-ten does in many places — stu-dents fear the mix of electricity and water and avoid going to their lockers.

Restrooms are not cleaned regularly and rat feces often ap-pear throughout the building, Far-rar said.

“I haven’t seen Facility Ser-vices in here until the ceiling collapsed,” she said. “Once we started the protest stuff, then we started seeing them here and there. … We’re only starting to get atten-tion now that we’re speaking out about it.”

Work orders from the past six months show that Facility Ser-vices has addressed several issues including repairing the ceramics ceiling after it fell and fi xing a damaged steam pipe. They have also visited the building for routine tasks such as changing lightbulbs and adjusting the temperature.

Maharrey said although the building is not new or modern, his offi ce and the state fi re marshal’s offi ce deem it safe to occupy. If anyone notices a problem, he said they should report it to the Facility Services staff so they can fi x it and ensure people’s safety.

Besides potential health risks, the building itself is not secure, Farrar said. At various times, the Studio Arts Building has been home to squirrels, rats, a raccoon and during summer 2013, a home-less man, she said.

“The shabbiness draws ran-dom people to it,” Farrar said.

Farrar said suspicious-look-ing people sometimes look into windows at nighttime when stu-dents are working late on assign-ments. That is worrisome, she said,

because one of the windows in the painting studio does not lock.

Farrar also said a backpack and laptop were recently stolen by a non-student during a class in the foundry, where students work with metal. Last year on a foot-ball gameday, someone entered the building and stole several blank canvases from the painting area.

Capt. Cory Lalonde, LSU Po-lice Department spokesman, said there have been four reports of suspicious persons since January in the Studio Arts Building area.

Throughout campus, there have been 50 to 60 such reports since January.

If several incidents occur in a short period of time in an area of campus, police will patrol that area. Lalonde said there currently is no concerted effort to patrol near the Studio Arts Building, but peo-ple should still report anything or anyone that seems out of place.

Despite all its problems, Bin-ning said the building is gorgeous at its heart. Original wavy glass windows let in sunlight that fl oods

rooms all the way up to their high ceilings.

It is also brimming with the kind of quirkiness that only art stu-dents could come up with. There is a couch mounted to the ceiling that was part of a former student’s project. Someone drew the outline of a house around a hole in a wall where a rat that students named Le-roy once lived.

But no matter how charming it is, Farrar believes the environment is simply unhealthy and unfair.

“Our building and our majors

even are considered less impor-tant,” she said. “They’re not STEM majors, so basically, we’re not the big money makers that LSU or the state wants, so we’re less important and somehow deserve these condi-tions. We pay the same tuition, but somehow we get the worst con-ditions on campus. … It’s in an emergency state.”
