The Daily Reveille - October 17, 2012

Mass communication junior Joel D’Aubin was thrilled to see his picture in a broadcast email to the entire stu-dent body Tuesday afternoon, until he noticed it had been edited to cover the cross painted on his shoulder.

The photo depicted four football fans — D’Aubin, Ben Wallace and Uni-versity seniors Cameron Cooke and AJ

Fagan — in body paint with crosses em-blazoned on their shoulders. The group, called “The Painted Posse,” has passed on the tradition of body paint and crosses on the heart for seven football seasons.

“Those crosses were airbrushed out. ... We don’t want to convey any religious or political message,” said As-sociate Vice Chancellor for University Relations and Senior Associate Athletics Director Herb Vincent .

D’Aubin suspected the University

didn’t want to offend anyone by show-ing the crosses, but he was curious why the photo wasn’t edited on the Univer-sity’s Sports website or Facebook page.

The fi rst time D’Aubin saw the ed-ited photo was in the mass email.

The picture has already been picked up by multiple news outlets that didn’t edit it, D’Aubin said.

By this time next year, Baton Rouge will join the list of cit-ies partaking in the Trader Joe’s phenomenon that started in 1958 with a small chain of Pasadena-founded convenience stores called Pronto Markets .

The store was reborn as Trad-er Joe’s in 1967 and now spans the country with more than 300 stores , with one of its most recent

developments in Baton Rouge’s Acadian Village Shopping Center near Acme Oyster House and the soon-to-open Galatoire’s Bistro near Perkins Road and Acadian Thruway .

Trader Joe’s had been debat-ing over what city — New Or-leans or Baton Rouge — a Loui-siana location should be placed in, said Tina Rance , marketing director of Commercial Proper-ties Realty Trust, the company that owns Acadian Village.

“We don’t have many na-tional grocery stores here, and I think the fact that they chose Baton Rouge over other cities in Louisiana is key to show the

progress here,” Rance said. “That particular location — being close to LSU, older neighborhoods and the interstate — will be a regional draw as well.”

But Trader Joe’s doesn’t treat itself like a run-of-the-mill gro-cery store.

According to Trader Joe’s website, the store has branded “innovative, hard-to-fi nd, great-tasting foods” with its own name, which cuts costs and saves the customer money.

POLICY, see page 19

The negative results of class-es blown off in freshman year may soon nearly disappear.

Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell offi cially approved the Grade Exclusion Policy on Monday , which al-lows students to replace classes in which they received a grade lower than a C . The policy takes effect at the start of the fall 2013 semester.

Under the policy, students may repeat a maximum of three classes , equaling no more than 12 hours . The new grades will replace old “Ds” or “Fs,” but the low grades will continue to ap-pear on transcripts. Students must fi le a petition with their college’s dean in order to invoke the policy.

“So let’s say a student gets a ‘D’ or ‘F’ in a class,” said Thomas

Picassos and Monets stolen in Dutch heist from Rotterdam museum

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Thieves broke into a Rotterdam museum on Tuesday and walked off with works from the likes of Picasso, Monet, Gauguin and Matisse potentially worth hundreds of millions.

Police haven’t said how they pulled off the early hours heist, but an expert who tracks stolen art said the robbers clearly knew what they were after.

“Those thieves got one hell of a haul,” said Chris Marinello, who directs the Art Loss Register.Shot Pakistani girl responding well to treatment at British Hospital

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — A teenage Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban for promoting girls’ education has responded well to treatment and impressed doctors with her strength, the British hospital where she was being treated said Tuesday.

Experts are optimistic that 14-year-old Malala Yousufzai, who was airlifted Monday to Britain to receive specialized medical care, has a good chance of recovery because unlike adults, the brains of teenagers are still growing and can adapt to trauma better.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — An in-carcerated gay man sued a southern Kentucky jail and a fellow inmate Tuesday, claiming the prisoner bit off part of his nose after days of harassment.

MINDEN (AP) — An explosion at the Camp Minden industrial site in northwest Louisiana was the source of a loud, ground-rattling boom that shook buildings and shattered windows in the nearby city of Minden late Monday, Web-ster Parish authorities say.

The Webster Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that the explosion happened in an underground bun-ker at a Camp Minden business, Explo Systems Inc.

The company declined imme-diate comment when reached by phone Tuesday morning and did not take part in a news conference with Sheriff Gary Sexton.

After spat, La. to have �rst black chief justice, Bernette Johnson

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Louisiana Supreme Court re-solved a racially tinged power struggle inside its own ranks, rul-ing Tuesday that Bernette John-son should be the state’s first black chief justice.

Johnson’s years of ap-pointed and elected service on the high court give her the se-niority to succeed Chief Justice Catherine “Kitty” Kimball early next year, the court said in a unanimous ruling.

Shotgun wedding? Iowa jeweler offers ri�es with engagement rings

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (AP) — Have you spent your life hunting for the perfect wife? Maybe you have met the one but are feeling gun shy?

An Iowa jeweler is offering free rifles for husbands-to-be who spend at least $1,999 on an engage-ment ring at his store near Iowa City.

A red squirrel perches on a tree branch in Calais, Vt. Biologists say the squirrel population could crash from natural forces as rapidly as it grew.

Monday night noise was explosion at Camp Minden industrial site

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Don’t let the bright eyes and bushy tails fool you. These squirrels are up to no good.

Last year’s mild winter and a bumper crop of nuts have caused an apparent explosion in the squir-rel population in patches of the country, bewildering fruit growers with their ravenous appetites, lit-tering highway shoulders as road-kill and keeping homeowners and pest control experts busy.

In southern Vermont, Clarence Boston said he hasn’t seen such an infestation of pests in 33 years.

The squirrels wait until his apple crop is nearly ripe to swarm into the trees from nearby forests, sometimes eating half a tree’s fruit.

More than 30 students en-gaged University administrators at Tuesday’s Student Govern-ment Town Hall meeting, asking questions ranging from parking to the plus-minus grading system to the University’s budget cuts.

Students shared their con-cerns about the lack of campus signage informing them of where they’re allowed to park.

Gary Graham, director of the Office of Traffic and Trans-portation, told students that the University is in the process of improving the signage for the community.

“It’s probably about a $2.5 million dollar system,” Graham said. “We may have done a third of it so far, so some of this is on-going [and] we’re replacing the old with the new, so we’re look-ing at that and we’ll be constantly updating all of those signs as we move on.”

Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell answered questions about Faculty Senate’s recent decision to approve a plus-minus grading scale for students.

Bell told students the Uni-versity is reviewing what needs to be modified and purchased for the new grading system to be im-plemented in the next few years.

“We need to begin identify-ing what that timeline would be, and what I can tell you is that there’s a lot of work to do. I’m not talking about implementing something next fall — physically, we just can’t get there,” Bell said.

T Graham S. Howell, public relations junior and SG’s deputy chief, asked if Faculty Senate’s resolution for the grading scale proposal had a greater influence on the administration’s opin-ion of the proposal than Student Government’s resolution.

Bell told Howell that Faculty Senate’s rulings focus on the im-pact of the curriculum, but also suggested that they consider the impact it has on students.

Andrea Neal, history and

political science senior, asked Interim President and Chancel-lor William “Bill” Jenkins if pro-grams that were cut, like foreign languages, would return.

Jenkins said he’s passionate about the issue and he’ll be en-gaged with the issue in the next legislative session.

“We have to at least have secure, and if at all possible, at least secure state funding,” Jen-kins said.

Jenkins and other

administrators stressed how im-portant it was for students to let their opinions be heard.

“We have to depend on you. It’s your eyes and ears, but re-member: you own this campus, you will own the one LSU is

whenever that’s configured. This is yours,” he said.

Tulane surpasses LSU bar pass rate

Administrators address students’ concernsSG Town Hall meeting talks issues

74.9 percent LSU applicants pass

Wilborn Nobles IIISenior Contributing Writer

Danielle KelleyContributing Writer

The LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center bar passage rate is not the highest in the state for only the second time in more than 20 years.

Of the 179 LSU Law appli-cants who took the 2012 bar, 134 or 74.9 percent passed, according to the LSU Law Center’s website.

Tulane University Law School is the only Louisiana school that had a higher passage percentage rate, with 75.7 per-cent of its 107 applicants passing, according to the website.

This is the lowest LSU Law percentage passage rate since at least 2008. Of the students who took the test in 2011, 86.5 percent passed. That is an 11.6 percent difference between the 2011 and 2012 rates.

The change of percentages could be attributed to the new compensatory scoring system, “by which a high performance on one segment of the exam could compensate for low performance on another segment of the exam,” according to the website.

LSU Law Center Chancellor Jack Weiss said alumni should not be disappointed by the scores because the school is studying the results to understand “the im-pact of the new rules.”

“I would urge [alumni] to keep in mind, however, that the margin between the top two schools was less than one per-centage point,” he said. “This took place under a scoring regime that is brand new, as yet only dimly understood, and subject to ongoing review by the Louisiana Supreme Court as it gains actual experience with the new scoring system.”

The Holliday Forum buzzed with political discussion before and during a presidential election town hall debate that saw a more enraged President Barack Obama putting Republican nominee Mitt Romney on the defensive Tuesday night.

Since the debate existed in a town hall format, audience mem-bers asked prepared questions.

Both Obama and Romney brought their points back to job creation and education.

Television pundits cited social media in saying Obama performed better in this debate, and was more mentally “there” than during the fi rst presidential debate.

Obama said the nation needs to invest in education for the fu-ture of the economy, because if the education system does not train engineers, then companies won’t come here.

Romney referenced his success with the Massachusetts

education system and his fi ve-point plan, in which he plans to: make America energy independent, give every child a choice on where he or she attends school, forge new trade agreements, cut the nation’s defi cit and support small business.

“Governor Romney doesn’t have a fi ve-point plan, he has a one-point plan. He wants to make sure the folks at the top play by a different set of rules,” Obama said.

Romney countered this ac-cusation by saying he would not increase taxes for the middle class.

Both candidates touched on energy policy, accusing each other of separate wrongs.

Obama claimed Romney fl ip-fl opped about supporting coal—now campaigning for it—and Romney asked voters to look at Obama’s policies as opposed to his rhetoric.

On a question about lowering gas prices, Romney focused on the price of gas per gallon when Obama took offi ce, $1.86 accord-ing to the debate, as opposed to what it is now, at more than $4,

and blamed that on Obama. Obama said the answer was

that world demand for oil has ris-en, resulting in higher prices.

He then told Romney that maybe the Republican hopeful could lower the prices of gas by bringing our economy back to the brink of collapse, as it was when Obama took offi ce.

“They need podiums to keep it civil,” said advertising senior Haley Shales.

Advertising senior Grant Casey disagreed.

“I enjoy town halls, because they’re more involved,” Casey said.

Young Americans for Lib-erty president Kyle Aycock took a more extreme view on the format, saying it wasn’t open enough.

“For a town hall debate, the format was very constrained,” Aycock said.

Political science professor James Garand said he thought the town hall format did not work well.

“Many of the questions were

inappropriate for a debate of this magnitude,” Garand said.

He also said the debaters did not say much voters don’t already know about their policies.

“Obama was much more ag-gressive, of course, but I didn’t hear much that was new from ei-ther candidate,” he said.

Garand and students thought

the debate was a draw.

Annie Boyd renovation on schedule

La. backs traditional marriage

Four states could join Con-necticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont in legally accepting same-sex marriage on a state level when equal marriage rights come up for a vote this Novem-ber.

But in 2004, Louisiana did the opposite and officially banned same-sex marriage through a state amendment vote.

Some rights conferred to married couples by law include hospital visitation, income tax deductions and joint parenting rights.

Joint parenting rights are “a big deal” in Louisiana right now, said Spectrum chair of communi-cations and mass communication senior Katie Perry.

Perry said this is due to a court case involving a couple who legally adopted a Louisiana-born child in New York. They were not allowed to put both of their names on the birth certifi-cate.

Perry said same-sex mar-riage is now firmly entrenched as

a political issue, and in order for change to happen, it has to start on the level of a national law.

“If Obama wins this election, he’ll have the chance to choose two Supreme Court judges, and if they’re liberal, I believe legis-lation will be passed in my life-time,” Perry said. “If Romney wins the presidency, there’s no way.”

On the state level, Louisi-ana Gov. Bobby Jindal spent some of September in Iowa campaigning against an elected judge who ruled in favor of equal marriage rights.

“It’s kind of ridiculous that it’s an issue,” said psychology freshman Teressa Sammartino.

Sammartino said as humans, everyone has rights, and mar-riage is one of them.

Psychology sophomore Al-lison Davis acknowledged the religious side of the issue, say-ing that politics play a role into it because it relates to a major re-ligion.

The Rev. Bob Stine, pas-tor of Christ the King Catholic Church on campus, said allowing same-sex marriage would change the definition of marriage from “between a man and a woman,” and undermine the purpose of marriage. He said the purpose of marriage is to produce offspring.

“You’d have to say that marriage is just mutual love,” Stine said.

He went on to explain that a sterile couple can be an excep-tion to this rule, since there is the possibility they could procreate through scientific advances.

“We’re willing to make one exception, but you have to be careful, or exceptions become the rules,” said Stine.

Unlike many projects at the University, the renovations of Annie Boyd Hall are being com-pleted as scheduled without many major glitches.

“Of course, there are always glitches here and there,” said Kar-en Rockett, associate director of facilities for Residential Life.

Construction crews were slowed by setbacks like the de-layed delivery of building materi-als, but it didn’t affect the overall project, Rockett said.

The entire interior of the building has been gutted, includ-ing the walls and staircases. All that is left of Annie Boyd are the bricks and stucco on the outside; even the windows have been re-moved.

Annie Boyd’s roof remains intact, but it will receive a partial overhaul as well.

“They are already laying out the stud walls,” Rockett said. “The metal studs should mostly be up on the second and third floor.”

Once the walls are rebuilt, Annie Boyd will be filled with new sheetrock, new bathrooms

and plenty of study space, Rockett said.

The new bathrooms will be suite-baths, as they were before Annie Boyd was gutted.

“Annie Boyd is going to re-main a suite bath because that’s a big deal for our students,” Rockett said.

There is no classroom in An-nie Boyd Hall, but there are larger study spaces, she said.

Next week, construction crews will begin “trenching” throughout the horseshoe drive-way located in front of Annie Boyd.

In order to run the utilities to the residence hall, a large trench must be created in the ground, Rockett said.

Cars are unable to park in the horseshoe because it is impossible to drive over the trench that will be created soon, she said.

The expected date of comple-tion is July 1, 2013, and the hall will be open to students in August 2013.

Rockett has a special incen-tive to finish the project on time.

“I got dinner bet on it with my boss that we’re going to open on time,” she said.

Parenting rights take center stage

DANNY JOHNSTON / The Associated Press

Gov. Bobby Jindal campaigned earlier this month against Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins, who is an advocate of same-sex marriage rights.

rights to manipulate the photo, Vincent said.

When students purchase football tickets, they grant the University the right to use their names and any pictures taken during the game for any Univer-sity purposes.

LSU Sports Information photographer and biological engineering senior Martin McCallister took the pho-tograph.

“As a photographer, I sub-mit a raw .jpeg fi le, untouched,” McCallister said. “I just submit whatever comes off the camera.”

After photographers submit their shots, Vincent said LSU Athletics commonly edits pho-tos. For example, if a football player’s jersey is wrinkled in a photo LSU Athletics wants to use on the front of a brochure, they’ll edit out the crease.

The photo, added to the University’s Facebook page Sunday, has already garnered nearly 3,000 likes on Facebook and 200 shares.

Some stu-dents on Face-book began cre-ating their own comparison pho-tos, and many re-ceived numerous comments con-cerned with the reasoning behind

removing the crosses.Most members of the

Painted Posse are members of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry or The Refuge.

“We do this because we love LSU football, but we have a greater love for Christ,” D’Aubin said. “It’s cool to be watching ‘Sports Center’ on ESPN, some-thing that’s shown throughout America, and see the cross.”

Two years ago, the freshman pledge group of Kappa Delta and other sorority women on campus became involved with Girls on the Run of Greater Baton Rouge by making inspirational bandan-as for a 5k race the girls in the program ran.

Since then, the bandanas have become a race tradition for Girls on the Run and the project expanded into a group of sorority members who run together.

The mission of SoleSist-ers of LSU is to use running as a tool to train sorority women in confi dence, self-respect, healthy living and service . They commit to train for and run the Louisi-ana Half Marathon , which takes place Jan. 20 in Baton Rouge , said mass communication junior Carley Wahlborg .

SoleSisters of LSU began last year just for the Kappa Delta sorority, but this year it has grown to welcome all Greek women on campus.

“We all have certain ties that bond us together,” Wahlborg said.

There are currently 151 women signed up in SoleSisters to run in the Louisiana Half Mar-athon , Wahlborg said.

Mass communication junior Katherine Fremin was one Kappa Delta member who started out volunteering with Girls on the Run . She said her freshman year she mostly helped raise aware-ness for Girls on the Run , and last year she worked as assistant coach for the girls.

After completing the 5k , Fr-emin said seeing the reaction of

the girl she coached made her feel like it was worth it to stay in the program.

Kinesiology junior and Delta Gamma member Sara Bair said she’s always had a passion for running because it allows her to escape from the world. Fremin said she has loved to run since high school and calls it therapy.

“I can just go out and run as hard as I can, for as long as I can and just let it out, all on the road,” Fremin said.

Both women said they are ex-cited about training as a group to run the half marathon in January .

“I feel like it’s one of those bucket list things that I’ve want-ed to accomplish for a really long time,” Bair said.

SoleSisters had a kick-off day Oct. 9 and welcomed poten-tial members and the community with music and informational booths about Girls on the Run of Greater Baton Rouge and the Louisiana Half Marathon . There was also a fun run on Sorority Row , Wahlborg said.

For members of SoleSist-ers, there are four to fi ve running options a week, with runs in the morning and afternoon. Wahl-borg said members are encour-aged to make at least two a week to assist in their training.

In the next few weeks, the women will have the opportunity to hear guest speakers discuss nutrition, training and injury pre-vention while on their practice runs. The practice runs will be around campus, the local com-munity and near popular areas such as the LSU Lakes.

The group has a fundrais-ing goal of $3,100 to fund

scholarships for girls who want to participate in Girls on the Run . Wahlborg said more than half of the girls participating this year will be able to do so because of a scholarship. By making their goal, SoleSisters will fund about 20 scholarships .

“We want to make sure that any girl who wants to partici-pate in Girls on the Run has the ability to,” she said.

Bair said it’s an encouraging experience to help others out, and she is excited to

“We picked $3,100 mainly because it’s 3.1 [miles] which is a 5k ,” Wahlborg said.

Each sorority chapter can do its own fundraising, but there is also a website where people can donate.

Wahlborg said the lessons girls learn in Girls on the Run don’t just apply to young girls.

“As college women and as sorority women we need to be those role models for those girls,” Wahlborg said.

Fremin said it is important to live a balanced lifestyle and she participates in SoleSisters to show others how living a bal-anced life does not make you any different.

The Southeastern Conference is rich in tradi-tion.

Its tailgating: legendary. Its fandom: undying.Its football: unparalleled.As one of the two newest members of the con-

ference, the strength of Texas A&M’s traditions is on par with the rest of the SEC.

Saturday marks No. 6 LSU’s fi rst game against one of its new conference foes when it travels to College Station, Texas for a revival of an old time ri-valry with No. 18 Texas A&M.

Familiar with the Aggies since his time as a Dallas Cow-boys assistant in the late ’90s, LSU coach Les Miles knows what his team is in for Saturday as it marches onto Kyle Field, the “Home of the 12th Man.”

“I think any time when you play in a place where the people really enjoy their team, there’s a real loyalty there, and that op-ponents that visit will recognize it,” Miles said.

But a team’s on-fi eld prow-ess is what matters in the best football conference in the NCAA, and that of the Aggies will be tested by the Tigers and their ferocious defense, which Miles said will be one of the fastest A&M has seen in its fi rst season as an SEC competitor.

Boasting a 2-1 SEC record, the Aggies have held up so far. They held a 17-10 lead against now-No. 3 Florida in their fi rst game of the season before the Gators rallied on defense to win 20-17 . They blew out Arkansas by 48 points and came back in the fourth quarter against Ole Miss to win by three .

It’s no Red River Shootout or Iron Bowl — there’s not even a snappy nickname for it.

But when LSU and Texas A&M renew their regular-season series Saturday for the fi rst time in 17 years, the teams will breathe new life into one of the South’s oldest and most competitive rivalries.

Spanning 113 years, eight combined conference affi liations and nine host venues, the rivalry was practically a staple of the Ti-gers’ schedule for the latter part of the 20th century.

Between 1960 and 1995 , the two schools met on the gridiron 26 times.

When LSU coach Les Miles spoke at Monday ’s team meet-ing, Tiger players say the fi rst thing he emphasized was the ri-valry’s history and tradition.

The players knew the num-ber by heart.

“[They are] 27-20 to us, with a few ties in there,” said senior offensive lineman Josh Dworac-zyk in reference to LSU’s 27-20-3 all-time advantage in the series. “You can tell how balanced and back-and-forth the games were. Some of the alumni that still come around the program al-ways talk about the pride at stake against the Aggies .”

In the modern era, the two teams have waged several memorable battles, many between the Tiger Stadium lines.

From 1960 to 1975 , the Aggies and Tigers met in Tiger Stadium each year.

A&M won just three times during that stretch, but provided one of the series’ standout moments in 1970 by upsetting No. 12 LSU , 20-18 , only days

When the LSU basketball team was asked about freshman wing Shane Hammink, another player’s name continually came to mind .

“[San Antonio Spurs guard Manu ] Ginobili ,” said sophomore point guard Anthony Hickey . “Ex-actly that. He likes the Euro step.”

Hammink , LSU’s fi rst inter-national player since the Bahamas’ Magnum Rolle in 2006-07 , is still getting used to the transition from international basketball to the colle-giate level. The biggest obstacle the Netherlands native has had to over-come is executing the patented Euro step made famous by Ginobili with-out traveling.

“Shane sometimes tends to take too many steps,” said LSU sopho-more forward Johnny O’Bryant III . “We called so many travels on him that he’s sick now.”

While the number of steps taken by Hammink on the court is still an ongoing debate between him and his teammates, his athleticism jumped out to the Tigers from the fi rst day they saw him.

“I can remember the fi rst day he played — the fi rst time he got the basketball — swept baseline and dunked it,” said junior guard Andre Stringer . “I was like, ‘Who is this?’ I see a lot of Ginobili in him.”

With a 6-foot-7 frame and a long wingspan, Hammink will

get a chance to fi ll the void on the wing left by Ralston Turner , who transferred to North Carolina State after former LSU coach Trent John-son left for TCU in April.

Even though there is an opening at small forward, he believes his skill set is more suited for the backcourt.

“I prefer [shooting guard],” he said. “I feel comfortable playing [small forward], not really the [pow-er forward], but if I have to, I’ll play it and do it with pride.”

Hammink didn’t have to worry about sticking to one specifi c posi-tion playing for the Canarias Basket-ball Academy because he was usu-ally the best player on the court. He was named Tournament MVP at the 2012 U23 Tournament in Tourcoing, France .

Teammates have also noticed Hammink’s versatility, an asset that the Tigers hope to utilize over his ca-reer at LSU .

“I think he can play any position he wants once he learns what he has to do for it and works at it,” Stringer said.

Hammink also had to adjust to the physical nature of American bas-ketball, as he found out how rugged the style of play is during summer pickup games with teammates.

“The physicality I’ve noticed in practice is higher than Europe ,” he said. “I just need to get stronger during the season, and I think I’ll

BASKETBALL

LSU junior linebacker La-min Barrow doesn’t care that his peculiar fi rst name often gets mispronounced.

“Ninety percent of people get it wrong.” Barrow said. “As long as my teammates and coach-es say it right, that’s all I need.”

The soft-spoken Marrero na-tive hesitates to correct the pro-nunciation errors — the correct way is luh-MEEN — but Bar-row’s play has made his name a household one this fall.

Along with junior Kevin Minter , Barrow has transformed a perennially overlooked line-backing corps into perhaps the LSU defense’s hottest commod-ity, especially in Southeastern Conference play.

Minter and Barrow are fi rst and second , respectively, on the Tigers’ defense in total tackles, with Barrow recording 27 of his

51 stops in LSU’s three league games.

To go along with four tackles for a loss, his four quarterback hurries — traditionally a statistic dominated by defensive linemen — ranks second on the team.

“When you look at [Lamin ] this year, his whole swagger has changed,” said sophomore defen-sive tackle Anthony Johnson . “He and Kevin [Minter] were young linebackers playing behind two greats in Kelvin [Sheppard] and Ryan Baker . I think they’ve been the best linebackers in the SEC.”

After Florida’s Mike Gil-lislee gashed the Tiger defense for 146 yards and led to a week of questions about LSU’s defensive toughness, Barrow saved his best for touted South Carolina back Marcus Lattimore .

Behind Barrow’s game and career-high 12 tackles, LSU ef-fectively shut down Lattimore and, in turn, the Gamecocks’ of-fense.

As part of the fi rst class at LSU to play exclusively for de-fensive coordinator John Cha-vis , Barrow said the linebackers’ rapport with the coach has been

responsible for their rapid rise.“It’s been building under

Chief for the last several years,” Barrow said. “His scheme is the only one I’ve known, and he’s taken me under his wing. He calls plays in the right spot for us.”

Barrow’s emergence has been a necessary one for a line-backing unit that lost expected starter Tahj Jones before the sea-son and freshman standout Kwon Alexander to an ankle injury at Florida , and also dealt with ju-nior Luke Muncie ’s recurring stomach ailment.

“They’ve done such a good job of fi lling in and answering the whole defense’s call,” said senior safety Eric Reid . “I gave them a hard time in the offseason, say-ing I led the team in tackles last year. Lamin’s helped make sure not many guys are reaching me this year.”

It’s a sharp swing for a line-backing corps used to naysay-ers. Even as the LSU defense has consistently ranked among the nation’s best in recent years, Barrow always heard the doubts about the linebackers.

“Of course you see things

like, ‘The linebackers might not be as good as the rest of the de-fense,’” he said. “A lot of prog-ress really started last year, doing our jobs to set up the playmakers up front and behind us, so they could do their thing. We’re more in your face this year, and we are a force on this defense.”

It has cast a spotlight on Bar-row’s dreaded mane and easily butchered fi rst name. He’s fi ne with the attention, but only to a point.

“It’s been different, since

now people do notice you and call out your name in public,” Barrow said. “I don’t need to be known like Sam Montgomery or Eric Reid . I want to make the plays they make, but they can keep the notoriety. My name’s kind of tough, anyway.”

Junior is second on team in tackles

Dominating defense is all the rage in LSU athletics.

The LSU men’s soccer club has posted an impressive 6-0 re-cord while not conceding a single goal to its opponents this season , and the club’s new strategy may have something to do with that.

Senior defender June No , who is also captain of the club , said the club’s dominance could be a result of a formation change.

“In the past, we relied on the 4-4-2 formation, but this season we are mainly using the 4-5-1 formation,” No said. “The biggest reason is because we have a lot of talented central midfi elders and we wanted to have them on the fi eld at the same time as much as possible.”

The LSU offense has also employed a tricky strategy this season.

The Tigers use their multiple midfi elders to play the “tiki taka” style of offense, a trendy brand of soccer predicated on maintaining possession and eventually fi nding the gaps in the opposing defense. The Spanish national team also uses this style .

The Tigers average more than two-and-a-half goals per game , with eight players fi nding the back of the net this year .

But the most impressive aspect of the Tigers’ game is their

suffocating defense.“[It is] a combination of good

defending and goalkeeping, along with the team controlling the over-all tempo of the match,” said ju-nior goalkeeper Jordan Williams . “We control much of the posses-sion during the game and spend much of that time in the middle and attacking thirds of the fi eld.”

Players credit their balance, chemistry and communication as reasons for their success on de-fense. Senior Jayson Stewart , the starting goalie , used to play Divi-sion III soccer at Louisiana Col-lege in Pineville, La. , and was fi gured to be a standout player on the squad.

But with such a stifl ing de-fense in front of him, Stewart has seen relatively little action.

“Honestly, our keepers haven’t been tested much, but they are always competing to start in practice,” said senior defender James Dobravolsky . “Our defense is so good, [the goalies] get bored during the games, so practice is their time to shine.”

The club’s next match is Sun-day when it travels to the Univer-sity of Houston . The Tigers will compete in the Region IV Tour-nament the following week , hav-ing already achieved an automatic berth by winning the Louisiana Conference . Should they win the region, they will advance to the National Campus Championship Series .

Last year, the Tigers did not qualify for the regionals, even as a one-loss team . No and the other veterans on the squad understand the importance of fi nishing the

season with strong performances.“I just want our team to not

lose focus and compete with the same intensity that they have

[had] so far,” No said. “Every op-ponent, whether weak or strong, will be respected, and we will give our best effort to have a good

game and get the win.”

Only the toughest can sur-vive the extreme conditions of California’s Death Valley.

The average high of 100-plus degree temperatures fi ve months out of the year provides one of the most hostile environments for outsiders.

But to the world of college football, Death Valley poses a different kind of threat to those who dare question its power.

The thunderous roar that erupts from the stands can rattle opposing teams to their core and make the gridiron a barren waste-land for offenses.

The only question for college football fans: Where is the real Death Valley — Baton Rouge or Clemson, S.C.?

Both LSU and Clemson lay claim to the “real Death Valley,” with Clemson coach Dabo Swin-ney recently saying in a news conference his university’s stadi-um was the original in a response to South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier’s jab at which Death Valley was the real one.

“For the record, the original Death Valley is right here,” Swin-ney said, pointing to the stadium behind him. “In case anybody has any doubts, it’s right here. That’s the original Death Valley. I am pretty sure that is accurate, but I can see where [Spurrier] might have a little confusion.”

LSU fans may be surprised to fi nd out that Swinney is tech-nically right — despite Tiger Sta-dium being built almost 20 years prior to Clemson’s Memorial Sta-dium .

As the story goes, Memorial Stadium’s nickname began in the early 1950s from the cemetery that was perched on the adjacent hill overlooking the fi eld.

The name was solidifi ed in the early 1960s when former Clemson coach Frank Howard received what came to be known as “Howard’s Rock” from an alumnus who had plucked it from the sands of California’s Death Valley.

One local legend suggests that a few years later, LSU began to refer to Tiger Stadium as “Deaf Valley” as a way to differentiate between the Tigers of Clemson, but eventually shifted into “Death Valley” after sports writers and opposing fans from other parts of the country confused the thick Southern accent locals used.

“We take pride in that place,” said LSU senior left tackle Josh Dworaczyk . “It’s more than just that building and the atmosphere. It’s really what possesses that stadium to be one of the worst to play in [for opponents]. … If any stadium deserves to be called Death Valley, it’s certainly ours.”

Memorial Stadium holds slightly more than 81,000 people, compared to LSU’s 92,000 -plus capacity.

According to a recent list

created by Yahoosports.com, Tiger Stadium ranked third on a list of the toughest places to play, with the Tigers posting a 390-143-18 record (.708) when playing in the confi nes of Baton Rouge — a number that only grows when LSU plays at night (221-60-4, .775) .

“We don’t lose here,” said LSU sophomore punter Brad Wing . “We haven’t lost here in a long time. … We protect this place, and if someone is going to come in here and disrespect that, then we’ll show them on the fi eld.”

On the other hand, the Tigers of Clemson boast a 72 percent home winning percentage and came in at No. 16 on the same list.

LSU holds the longest home winning streak between the two schools, not having lost since

Oct. 10, 2009, against Florida . Clemson’s last home loss came at the hands of South Carolina in November 2010 .

In his news conference fol-lowing LSU’s 23-21 home vic-tory against then-No. 3 South Carolina, LSU coach Les Miles described Tiger Stadium as a place “where opponents’ dreams come to die.”

Sports Briefs

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal magistrate judge has or-dered NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to provide the court with documents related to the league’s bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints.

The order by Magistrate Dan-iel Knowles on Tuesday came in response to suspended linebacker Jonathan Vilma’s efforts to initi-ate the discovery process in his defamation case against the com-missioner. Vilma said the NFL has allowed him to review only a fraction of documents related to the bounty matter.

Knowles issued a compro-mise order in which only the court, and not Vilma, may see the documents — including reports of interviews with witnesses — before a subsequent order is made on whether to allow discovery to proceed.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said league officials have already discussed the order with Knowles and have agreed to comply.

The order comes a day after Vilma re-filed a related lawsuit in the same New Orleans federal court asking for his season-long suspension to be overturned. That lawsuit also has argued that the NFL has failed to fully disclose its evidence in the bounty inves-tigation.

The NFLPA filed a similar request on behalf of three other current or former Saints players suspended in the probe: Saints

defensive end Will Smith (four games), free agent defensive line-man Anthony Hargrove (seven games) and Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita (one game).

The players’ lawsuits con-tend that Goodell is incapable of acting as a neutral arbitrator in the bounty matter, in large part because his public statements soon after the NFL’s investiga-tion was made public last March indicated that he had already de-termined the guilt of the players before the disciplinary process began.

Vilma, who has his own lawyers, and the NFLPA also contend that the bulk of witness testimony in the bounty probe came from former Saints defen-sive coordinator Gregg Williams and former Saints defensive as-sistant Mike Cerullo. They both have provided the NFL with sworn declarations backing alle-gations that the Saints had a pool that rewarded defensive players with cash for hits that injured op-ponents, and that Vilma offered $10,000 to anyone who knocked then-Minnesota Vikings quarter-back Brett Favre out of the 2009-10 NFC title game.

Attorneys for the punished players say those two witnesses lack credibility because Williams is suspended indefinitely and his reinstatement hinges on his coop-eration, and because Cerullo was fired by the Saints and had a ven-detta against the club.

All four of the players are technically eligible to play this weekend because their appeals of their suspensions within the framework of the NFL’s labor agreement are pending. Goodell

has scheduled their appeal hear-ings for Oct. 23 and could rule soon afterward.

In the meantime, the players are hoping U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan will ultimately issue a ruling that voids Goodell’s decision to suspend the players and order a neutral arbitrator to handle any further discipline in the matter.

NEW YORK (AP) — All the single ladies will be watching the upcoming Super Bowl along with football lovers — that’s because Beyonce is the halftime show performer.

NFL confirmed the news Tuesday afternoon after Beyonce posted a photo of herself sport-ing eye black, where “Feb. 3” is written on one and “2013” on the other, on her Tumblr page. The Super Bowl is set for Feb. 3, 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Su-perdome in New Orleans.

Beyonce, whose pop and R&B hits include “Crazy in Love,” “Irreplaceable” and “Sin-gle Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” has won 16 Grammy Awards. The 31-year-old sang the national anthem at the 2004 Super Bowl in her hometown of Houston when the New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers.

Madonna performed at half-time at this year’s Super Bowl in February with guests CeeLo Green, Nicki Minaj, LMFAO and M.I.A. The New York Gi-ants beat the New England Pa-triots in a thrilling rematch of

the contest four years earlier. Her performance was seen by 114 million people, a higher aver-age than the game itself, which was seen by an estimated 111.3 million people, according to the Nielsen Co.

If Beyonce’s performance at the Pepsi NFL Halftime Show features collaborations, it could likely include husband-rapper Jay-Z and her Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

New Orleans last hosted a Super Bowl in 2002, making next year’s game the first NFL cham-pionship in the city since Hur-ricane Katrina devastated parts of the Louisiana Superdome in 2005. Pepsi is returning as the sponsor for the halftime show since doing so in 2007 when Prince performed.

Aggies’ defensive back Campbell leaves team after concussion

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M defensive back Steven Campbell has left the team because of lingering

problems from a concussion ear-lier this season.

Campbell sustained a concussion several weeks ago and hasn’t played since. Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said Tuesday he met with Campbell, who “doesn’t feel like himself” and has decided to leave the team. The senior will remain in school.

Campbell had nine tackles in two games this season and had 82 tackles, a sack and an intercep-tion in his career.

after Tiger quarterback Butch Duhe’s abrupt death from a brain hemorrhage.

The series went into hiberna-tion for 10 years, but re-emerged in annual home-and-home form in 1986, when then-freshman quar-terback Tommy Hodson carried No. 18 LSU to a season-opening upset of the No. 7 Aggies in Tiger Stadium.

Once Hodson graduated af-ter the 1989 season, the Tigers claimed only one of the next six games before LSU canceled the series after the 1995 season.

Jim Hawthorne, LSU’s direc-tor of broadcasting, said A&M was always circled on the Tigers’ schedule.

“The games were competi-tive, and there was consistency to it for both sides,” he said. “They’re passionate about their football [at Texas A&M], so the culture fits with ours. LSU is in a much better position now to hold up its end of the bargain than we saw in the 1990s.”

The Tigers did just that the last time the two teams met, de-livering a 41-24 beatdown in the 2011 Cotton Bowl.

The two programs share more

than a passion for football. Both schools churn out engineers and oil industry research, compete for the same recruits and have a rich military background.

Texas A&M has also played LSU more than any other oppo-nent it hasn’t shared a conference with.

With the two longtime foes now in the SEC together, LSU players said they expect the Texas A&M game to become an annual highlight.

“I wish we would have played them every single year,” Dworac-zyk said. “It’s not just great for the schools to have this be a rivalry, but college football on the Gulf Coast is better when A&M and LSU get after it.”

That doesn’t mean LSU play-ers knew too much about their ri-vals to the west.

Sophomore punter Brad Wing said he didn’t know until LSU’s preparation for last January’s Cot-ton Bowl that the two sides had even played before.

Senior safety and Texas na-tive Craig Loston said he knows all of Texas A&M’s gameday tra-ditions, but had “no clue” that the two schools had a history when

each recruited him.But players say familiarity

will breed contempt, and A&M already has motivation after the recent bowl defeat.

“With their history and that young quarterback [redshirt fresh-man Johnny Manziel], it will have this game exciting and tough for many years to come,” said sopho-more defensive lineman Anthony Johnson. “This is the weekend that will kick-start it all up again. It’s a fun time, to be getting a new old rival.”

be all right.”It isn’t mere coincidence that

Hammink, one of the top European players in the 2012 recruiting class, decided to take his talents to Baton Rouge. His father, Geert, donned purple and gold for legendary LSU coach Dale Brown from 1989 to 1993.

Choosing LSU instead of Flor-ida, Miami and Iowa wasn’t a diffi-cult decision for Hammink.

“It’s been my dream to come here since I started playing basket-ball,” he said. “It’s always been my No. 1 choice.”

Once he takes the court for the Tigers’ exhibition against Arkansas-Monticello on Nov. 5, Geert and Shane will become the fifth father-son combination to suit up for LSU.

The elder Hammink, who played sparingly his first three sea-sons, was a First Team All-SEC cen-ter his senior year, averaging 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds. Geert’s time on the sideline talking to then-assistant coach Johnny Jones played a big role in luring his son to LSU.

Shane’s father had nothing but good things to say about his time spent with coach Jones.

“My dad’s first three years, he didn’t play that much because of [Shaquille O’Neal],” Hammink said. “So he spent a long time sitting on the bench talking to Coach Jones and said he was a great guy, always talk-ing to [my dad], trying to keep his head up.”

Shane, who was born in Baton Rouge, returned to his birth place this summer for the first time since he was 10 years old. So far, he’s been

enjoying his time adjusting to life in south Louisiana.

“The people are great, the food is great,” he said. “It’s an amazing experience.”

With a number of new faces, Shane has an immediate opportunity to use his athleticism and versatility to log significant minutes. But Jones wants to remind everyone he’s still a freshman.

“I think [Shane] has the poten-tial to not only be a player, but an impact player here,” Jones said. “His biggest deal is just catching up with the speed of the game. [He’s] not dif-ferent from any freshmen we have on this team.”

“They know how we play [in the SEC], and they’ve adjusted very finely to it,” said junior de-fensive end Sam Montgomery.

Statistically, the newcomer has the best offense in the conference. It leads the SEC in the scoring, total yards per game and rushing yards per game and is second in passing offense. Red-shirt freshman quarterback John-ny Manziel leads the conference in rushing, ranks second in pass-ing efficiency and ranks third in passing average.

Texas A&M averages the most first downs in the SEC and is the only team to convert more than half of its third downs. Only Alabama has punted less than the Aggies.

“The style of football that they play is fitting for the SEC,” said senior offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk.

While Montgomery and

Dworacyzk said there isn’t any talk of “welcoming” the Aggies to the SEC this week, some stu-dents are planning to do just that.

That civility shown by the team isn’t exactly shared by the

entirety of its fanbase. A Face-book event called “Welcome A&M to the SEC” that’s prompting LSU students to crash the Aggies tradi-tional midnight

“yell practice” has accumulated more than 100 attendees.

“A&M thinks everyone in the SEC is one big happy family. We aren’t. We hate each other,” said political communication se-nior Robert Moreland, creator of the event, in a Facebook mes-sage. “It’s like a guy walking into a bar brawl, smiling, and saying ‘Howdy!’ Little hard to respect that guy.”

On this week’s edition of the hit reality show, “Who Will Run the World’s Most Powerful Coun-try,” the nation finally got what it was asking for: aggressive partici-pants, face-to-face standoffs and a president with a pulse.

The biggest demand that was not met was for a decent moderator willing to handle the heavyweights President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney with an equally heavy hand.

Listening to these demands is precisely what has driven the debate dialogue this election sea-son — at least for the candidates — and heeding them is also why debate dialogue is as polarized as it has ever been.

Town hall debates are known to generally hold an even keel, not leaning too far toward one candi-date or the other, and this particu-lar town hall was no different. Al-though both candidates performed admirably regarding their bases, President Obama was able to shine above Romney — if only by means of not sleeping through this session like he did in the previous.

“Governor Romney doesn’t have a five-point plan; Governor Romney has a one-point plan: Make sure that folks at the top play

by a different set of rules,” Obama said early in the debate.

Direct attacks like these liter-ally took center stage last night as the candidates stood, walked the floor and accused each other of various oversights face-to-face.

But still, as demonstrated by the polarity seen in the vice presi-dential debate, each camp only seems to be appealing to his core: those voters already in the bag.

One of the most beneficial vot-ing blocks up for grabs tonight was female voters. According to a poll released Monday by Gallup and USA Today, the enormous advan-tage Obama once held over female voters has eroded since the first de-bate, and, shockingly, many have

flocked to the Republican camp.In swing states, Romney has

tied his opponent for likely female voters.

Unfortunately for Romney, though, his handling of women’s issues last night were framed with a conservative lining that does not bode well for his new supporters.

When asked about equal pay and fair hiring for women, for in-stance, Romney’s response seemed to treat women as working against the cultural current, and his aim to make employers actually want women workers insinuated a bias that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

This is a hard question to ad-dress directly because this bias

does exist for many employers, but the governor’s clumsy response could never stand up to the Demo-cratic Party’s support of the avail-ability of contraceptives — though Romney was wise to distance him-self from anti-contraceptive policy.

“In my economy, employers are going to be so eager for new employees that they’ll hire wom-en,” Romney said.

Romney set himself back con-siderably with women voters when he brought family values into the topic of gun violence and control.

According to Romney, the best deterrence to gun violence is a strong family. Just like his answer to female employment, he does have a point here. But after former

Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum toured the country deploring to-day’s anti-family values, people are wise to the notion of family rights and enforcement.

This is because it typically means pro-life and anti-contracep-tive policies and traditional, con-servative family values which tend to single out women as homemak-ers.

Romney stood above the Pres-ident on the economy last night, however, and his portrayal of the stats — though often misleading — will play into his hand.

The deficit has grown rather than halved, Romney said, and un-employment stands where it was upon Obama’s inauguration.

The duality between the Democrats’ edge on social issues and the Republican’s focus on the economy have defined election season thus far and will continue to do so until election day.

Now that Obama has altered his approach and brought a hotter head into the ring, those unsure of granting him a second vote will shake their reluctance more easily, especially after last night’s debate.

In response to Parker Cramer’s column, “Race has nothing to do with the University of Texas case,” readers had this to say:

“Is it possible that after many centuries of not being able to achieve manned flight that we made it to the moon in about 65 years?

When modern civilizations

make improvements, they aren’t done so on a line that is a mir-ror image of the time it took to get there. Things improve expo-nentially and this, in my opinion is a step in a direction that will ultimately provide a level playing field for everyone when it comes to the color of your skin.”- Scoots McGee

“Personally, I don’t recall any of the news outlets reporting that she is snobby. I must have missed the part where she threw a tem-per-tantrum like a 2-year-old. It seems as though that would have gotten a little publicity though, especially from her opponents, seeing as it probably would have destroyed any and all credibility in her as a person. And as far as

I know, this came about because UT had an unfair policy in effect that allowed people below her to get in with inferior scores. Not because she is unhappy with her career. And you’re right, a histor-ical change in affirmative action is pretty pointless...The courts should be focusing on what Lind-say Lohan will crash in to next or something.

You must be a close, per-sonal acquaintance of Abigail, because you seem to know quite a lot about her, and this case, that wasn’t publicly released.

I could be wrong though, but that usually doesn’t happen when I think before I speak/type.”- Scoots McGee

“Jeeze Scoots McGee, why

don’t you and Fisher get a room already? Don’t forget to lather your kids up with SPF 100 before they go get the mail.”- White James

In response to David Scheuer-mann’s column, “Check your facts before Tuesday night’s de-bate,” readers had this to say:

“Since 9/11 it’s the War on Terror

Both candidates performed admirably, but Obama’s improvement outshined his opponent

The President strikes back

CHARLIE NEIBERGALL / The Associated Press

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama spar during the second presidential debate Tuesday night at Hofstra University.

For those still suspicious of the gross delusion, deception and desperation that has so en-capsulated our nation’s political rhetoric, the reaction to October’s surprisingly positive employment report should shed some light re-garding our increasingly difficult situation.

The report was immediately criticized by many conservatives as an attempt by the Obama ad-ministration to cook the books.

As both political parties know, the most contentious sub-ject — the issue ultimately gov-erning who will ascend to the presidency — will be the state of the U.S. economy come Novem-ber.

It’s quite simple logic: Posi-tive economic news will increase President Obama’s shot at re-elec-tion. Alternatively, bad news will

indicate a need for different poli-cies, thereby improving Romney’s election bid.

As a result of this self-evident truth, the Republican Party has a vested interest in watching Amer-ica fail.

Because Republicans are so obsessed with taking down Obama, they reacted with cries of conspiracy when the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a sudden drop in the unemployment rate — from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent.

Several notable politicians, pundits and businessmen, all of whom are supporters of Romney, publicly responded to the good news with a blind rage, declaring the Obama administration delib-erately manipulated the data for political gain.

Leading the conspiracy theo-rists’ unsubstantiated charge was Jack Welch, former General Elec-tric CEO, who posted an assertion on Twitter, remarking “Unbeliev-able job numbers… these Chicago guys will do anything… can’t de-bate so change the numbers.”

Not surprisingly enough,

Welch later admitted his state-ment was baseless, though it still received significant amounts of airplay, being broadcast nation-ally on Fox News and CNBC, and repeatedly referred to by conser-vative media personalities.

Republicans’ bitterness over the BLS report not only demon-strates their refusal to acknowl-edge reality, but also their willing-ness to undermine public trust in essential government institutions — all in the name of gaining more political power.

Employment numbers are collected by professional civil ser-vants at the BLS, an independent government agency with abso-lutely no political affiliation.

Moreover, the BLS acquires employment data from two public surveys they conduct each month: One survey asks a random sample of 400,000 employers how many workers are on their payroll, and the other asks a random sample of 60,000 households whether they’re working or looking for work.

Both methods used by the

BLS are straightforward. The data is collected and the numbers are crunched according to a transpar-ent formula.

Altering the unemployment figures would require involve-ment from a considerable amount of people within the BLS who, if caught, would serve prison time and undoubtedly end their careers.

And because their claims of conspiracy contain no evidence, conservative pundits are egre-giously disrespecting the profes-sionalism and integrity of the em-ployees at the BLS.

Accusing the BLS employees of cooking the jobs data is tanta-mount to charging — without any evidence — the Baton Rouge Po-lice Department with manipulat-ing crime statistics in order to help East Baton Rouge Mayor-Presi-dent Kip Holden gain re-election.

Such an allegation containing no proof against the BRPD would not be given much credence, and the same reasoning should be ap-plied for the BLS.

And even putting the BLS’s trustworthiness aside,

unemployment has been on a sus-tained downward trend since the height of the Great Recession.

For the past year, both BLS surveys have indicated an improv-ing labor market, so October’s re-port is consistent with the declin-ing direction of unemployment.

Unfortunately, though, none of this should suggest that our economic situation is good. But the BLS data does reveal an econ-omy that is gradually improving and finally back on the road to-ward full employment.

And that’s the reality Romney supporters can’t handle.

It’s scary to see a political movement willing to deliberately misinform and deceive voters when the facts don’t sway in its favor.

I enjoy home cooking as much the rest of us homesick bookworms, but I like my home cooking slow and drowned in gravy. I don’t par-ticularly care for hand-basted ref-erees, and I am even more wary of marinated moderators.

There is an obvious line of bias within the presidential debate mod-erators’ political alignments, and it favors the southpaws.

The Commission on Presiden-tial Debates, as stated on its web-site, was “established in 1987 to ensure that debates, as a permanent part of every general election, pro-vide the best possible information to viewers and listeners,” but it has a limp in its giddy-up.

The nonpartisan CPD has ap-parently chosen moderators accord-ing to their expertise in target areas of the election, not their political alignment.

Jim Lehrer of PBS, the first moderator, is the veteran: a house-hold presidential debate moderator who should be allowed to moder-ate at least one debate per election. There should be a default veteran like him to lead off the debates.

With that being said, Lehrer is a well-established Washington lib-eral, and he is known for his favorit-ism of the left in choosing questions for debates.

But why can’t the nation see the debates hosting an established conservative moderator?

I will agree Lehrer’s question-ing was drawn fair this election, as he attempted to create more ques-tioning among the candidates them-selves — although this 12th round may be Lehrer’s last, after his in-ability to keep the reins tight on the candidates.

Another issue developed from complaints aimed at a lack of diver-sity. The National Association of Black Journalists labeled it as “un-acceptable” that there is no black moderator. Hispanics complained that there were no bilingual mod-erators.

I do not place much credibility on the race card these days, but I

am surprised to see the absence of a black moderator.

Last week’s vice presidential debate offered diversity by having a woman conduct the moderating.

But she may be characterized as the most President Barack Obama-leaning liberal. Though neutral in her foreign affairs, it’s irrefutable that Martha Raddatz’ domestic policy questions favored anti-Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, and pro-Obama sentiments.

Raddatz’ former husband — the first of three — is Julius Gena-chowski, a law school peer of Obama and the current chairman of the FCC, a position appointed

by Obama. The Obamas also attended Rad-

datz and Genachowski’s wedding. Such close relationships should cer-tainly disqualify a moderator.

It is hard to say the liberal ten-dencies of the past two moderators have played much part in the out-comes of the debates: the first presi-dential debate has been solidified as a Romney victory, and the vice presidential debate has been attrib-uted as a job well done by both can-didates.

But Vice President Joe Biden’s success is mostly being attributed to his demeanor, which Raddatz catered to, while Raddatz cut off

Republican vice presidential nomi-nee Paul Ryan frequently as he made sound points.

This topic of discourse will continue with the last two debates, as the next moderators are by no means a relief to the Romney-Ryan efforts. Candy Crowley and Bob Schieffer are no less liberal-minded.

Crowley, a CNN correspondent and anchor, has an impressive ten-ure as journalist and is considered to be the most fair-minded of the moderators. However, her record insists on a lack of discipline in her objectivity.

Though Schieffer’s 2008 de-bate was revered as the best of the year, in the 2004 debate between Bush and Kerry, Schieffer’s ques-tion were lined with sarcasm to-ward Bush, and questions directed at Kerry were focused on ostensible errors made by the president.

It’s curious how the choices tilt so left when the CPD is co-chaired by Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., a for-mer RNC Chairman and Michael D. McCurry, former Clinton press secretary.

Besides the lack of nonparti-sanship by the CPD in this year’s debate moderators, I question why the GOP would agree to this biased moderation.

The Romney-Ryan camp has done well eating the liberal home cooking with a grain of salt.

Rodgers, Student Government di-rector of academic affairs . “He or she can retake the class. The new grade will then replace the GPA of the previous time the student took the class.”

Special topics, independent study and research courses are

excluded, according to the policy. Rodgers authored the grade

exclusion resolution and offi cially introduced it to the Faculty Sen-ate during the 2011 fall semester . The Faculty Senate approved and referred the resolution to the Ad-missions, Standards and Honors Committee during the 2012 spring semester . In an Oct. 12 email from

Vice Provost of Academic Affairs T. Gilmour Reeve to Bell, Reeve recommended the proposal be pub-lished in the 2013-14 General Cata-log .

The University will not be the only institution with such a policy. Many other schools, including Mis-sissippi State and the University of Arkansas , have similar policies.

Rodgers said the policy will be positive for the University in a few ways.

“One is that students will be able to improve their GPA by tak-ing the class a second time,” he said. “Many of LSU’s peers already use this kind of system, so we will look more favorable. Students will be able to take a class again; it

will improve their grades and that means LSU’s overall GPA could increase.”

Rodgers said the new policy will also invoke a more fair GPA comparisons to peer institution.

items on the shelf — if a prod-uct “doesn’t pull its weight,” it’s ditched for another.

“Trader Joe’s is a unique concept,” Rance said. “A lot of their food is their brand. It was set up to bring different cultural foods from different areas into the grocery store.”

The store resembles a trading post with cedar-planked walls. Workers scurry around in Hawai-ian-themed clothing, and bells, rather than intercom announce-ments, ring to notify employees of certain duties, Rance said. All the while, staff members dole out product samples.

“They’re almost a tourist attraction as well as a grocery store,” Rance said after visiting a store in Raleigh, S.C . “People who know what [Trader Joe’s] is are big, big followers. It’s just a really fun place to visit, and it’s almost like a cult following.”

The store has such a follow-ing that Face-book pages have been cre-ated to cam-paign for new stores in cities around the na-tion, including Baton Rouge , Rance said.

Rance said where Trader Joe’s shines is in the food selection, the recipes and the newsletters of-fered by sign-ing up on the store’s web-

site, which adds to the shopping adventure.

“If you sign up, you become part of their world. You don’t sign up for Walmart do you?” Rance asked. “It’s more of a per-sonal experience, I guess.”

The company decided the close proximity of Acme and Galatoire’s was a great mix for Trader Joe’s , Rance said. Con-struction on the new grocery store will begin later this year as construction on Galatoire’s con-cludes.

The 13,000-square-foot Trader Joe’s will be part of a larger shopping center, which will include speciality boutiques and other fi rst-time stores for Ba-ton Rouge , Rance said. Though she couldn’t reveal the debut stores, she said they should be announced in about a month.
