From the original location of the Co-op Bookstore and Baker’s Restaurant to Varsity Theatre and

Louie’s Cafe , the North Gate area has housed some of the University’s most beloved local establishments, but a new development is hop-ing to fi nd its place even without local fl avor.

College Row, the new shop-ping center at the North Gates of the University, is fi lling up with large national companies in an area that hasn’t seen many chains fi nd success.

Some of the oldest businesses in the area date back before World War II; the Varsity Theatre opened its doors in 1937, while Louie’s, which moved to its current location in 1986, opened on Chimes Street

in 1941.Other popular places haven’t

been around quite that long but still have more staying power than other

Sunday will mark the fi ve-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the storm that tore across the Gulf of Mexico’s coast, devastating whole communities and leaving New

Orleans underwater for almost a week.

In the weeks following the storm, the University served as an 800-bed fi eld hospital — then the largest in national history, according to a book written about the experi-ence, “LSU in the Eye of the Storm.” Many students returned to campus that year after seeing their homes fl ooded and destroyed by the storm.

As the anniversary approach-es, students on campus and people

throughout the state are stopping to remember the tragedy.

In New Orleans, citizens have gathered throughout the week for both formal and informal remem-brances. There have been jazz fu-nerals, symposiums, exhibitions and other events.

President Barack Obama will travel to New Orleans on Sunday to mark the occasion with a speech at Xavier University.

The anniversary also attracted

some national attention. CNN ran a series of reports called “New Or-leans Rising,” examining how well the city and the region have recov-ered.

The Newseum, a museum in Washington, D.C. showcasing jour-nalism history, opened an exhibit cataloging coverage of the hurricane. Coverage by New Orleans newspa-per The Times-Picayune features heavily in that exhibit. The Times-Picayune won a Pulitzer prize for

that coverage.For retrospectives on the Uni-

versity and its role in the disaster, be sure to read The Daily Reveille’s Monday edition. There will be ar-ticles remembering the University’s role in the disaster response and ar-ticles about the impact the hurricane had on the University and Baton Rouge.

Huge cocaine stash found on ranch in Venezuela

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Au-thorities seized more than 4.4 tons (4 metric tons) of cocaine at a ranch Thursday after F-16 fi ghter jets inter-cepted a plane that was fl ying to pick up the load, Venezuela’s top security offi cial said.

Soldiers are searching the area surrounding the ranch located in cen-tral Guarico state for more cocaine, Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami said.

22 new Katrina fraud charges announced

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — With the fi fth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina a few days away, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten announced Thursday the latest round of fraud cases arising from the storm.

Letten outlined charges against 22 people accused of bilking gov-ernment agencies or aid programs out of amounts ranging from $2,000 to more than $400,000.

They are among more than 180 Katrina fraud cases prosecuted in the New Orleans federal district and 500 nationwide. Letten said more cases are pending, although he acknowledged that the number is falling and that a fi ve-year stat-ute of limitations will be kicking in for some in the coming months.FEMA chief refl ects on Katrina’s lessons

Volunteers help Rebuild-ing Together’s “Fifty in Five” build 50 homes in fi ve days in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans on Thursday

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Mexican authorities say at least 16 people have been injured by a grenade that exploded at a bar in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta.

Prosecutors say fi ve of the in-jured have been detained as part of the investigation. They are inves-tigating whether one of the injured was carrying the grenade when it exploded.

NATIONALPoll: Most say US still unprepared for natural disasters

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most people think the U.S. is not better prepared for handling natural di-sasters than it was when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast fi ve years ago, according to a poll released Thursday.

Almost six in 10, or 57 per-cent, say the country has not im-proved its disaster preparations, according to the survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Roughly equal numbers of Demo-crats, Republicans and indepen-dents share that view.Rod Blagojevich headed for retrial early next year

CHICAGO (AP) — By dropping all charges against Rod Blago-jevich’s brother on Thursday, the federal government removed what had become an obstacle to their primary mission: convicting the impeached Illinois governor in a retrial now set for early next year.

Jurors who deadlocked last week on all but one of 24 charges in the fi rst trial described the case against Robert Blagojevich as by far the weaker of the two. And they said the former Army offi cer presented an earnest, sympathetic fi gure when he insisted on the wit-ness stand that he and his brother did nothing wrong.

Arizona governor fi les brief in immigration battle

PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer’s lawyers have fi led the fi rst brief in their appeal of a ruling that put the most controversial ele-ments of Arizona’s new immigra-tion law on hold.

Brewer asked the 9th U.S. Cir-cuit Court of Appeals in San Fran-cisco on Thursday to reverse the ruling U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton made last month.

The governor’s lawyers say the federal government hasn’t ef-fectively enforced immigration law at the border and in the state’s interior.

and approving federal funding for storm repair and rebuilding proj-ects, the agency’s head told a con-gressional panel Thursday just days before the storm’s fi fth anniversary.

Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency Administrator Craig Fugate told the panel, led by U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., that the agency became “too oriented on process” after the 2005 hurricane, prolonging a backlog of projects awaiting money.

Several members of Louisi-ana’s congressional delegation also heard testimony from two other federal agency heads: Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and Lt. Gen. Rob-ert Van Antwerp of the Army Corps of Engineers.

Donovan said nearly 40,000 families displaced by the 2005 storms were still relying on gov-ernment housing assistance when the Obama administration took of-fi ce. Today, he added, 98 percent of them have moved into permanent housing.

BOARD OF REGENTS

Comparative literature, women’s and gender studies programs reinstated

The Board of Regents reinstat-ed two of three degree programs in comparative literature and in wom-en’s and gender studies Wednes-day, months after their January ter-minations.

The Board’s Academic and Student Affairs Committee revived the comparative literature doctor-ate program and the bachelor’s program in women’s and gender studies despite previously low graduation rates.

The University previously of-fered a master’s degree in compara-tive literature, but that program will not be reinstated.

The changes will take ef-fect immediately, according to the Board. The programs must submit a progress report on enrollment and completer data by Sept. 1. The de-partments will seek re-evaluation in 2013.

The committee also moved to terminate the University’s Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices. This high-tech research center contained a synchrotron — a particle accelerator found only in eight locations in the na-tion — and offered students the oppor-tunity to work with and study the new-est technology.

The Board’s Search Committee also issued an update on the nation-wide search for a Commissioner of Higher Education.

Following the resignation of Commissioner Sally Clausen, the Board unanimously approved Tom Layzell to fi ll the position as the interim, but the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget denied the Board’s proposed $329,915 compensation package for Layzell.

The legislative committee declared the payment package too costly despite a decrease of $197,635, or 37 percent, from Clau-sen’s previous salary of $527,550, said Meg Casper, Regents associate commissioner of public affairs.

In an Aug. 17 emergency meet-ing, the Board decided to move forward without an interim com-missioner and instead appointed Board members Artis Terrell, Bob Levy, Roland Toups and Maurice Durbin to manage affairs.

The Board hired Layzell one week later to work as a part-time adviser to help oversee budget mat-ters and the implementation of the LA GRAD Act.

But with nearly $200,000 be-ing saved, some continue to ques-tion the motives behind the leg-islature’s rejection of Layzell as commissioner of higher education.

“It’s possible that there are

other factors at work here besides compensation,” said Barry Erwin, president of the Council for a Bet-ter Louisiana. “I don’t know, but there could be more bubbling be-low the surface.”

Some agree, however, the need for an interim commissioner is strong.

“This is a crit-ical time in higher education — with the GRAD act, performance for-mula issues to be resolved and more budget cuts on the horizon, you need someone to be the leader, someone to navigate the staff,” Erwin said.

The commissioner is required to “execute and enforce all the de-cisions, orders, rules, and regula-tions of the Board” and act as an authoritative postsecondary voice, according to the duties and respon-sibilities of the Commissioner. The offi cial must also have constant in-teraction with the Board, the state, the public and the postsecondary administration.

The search for a permanent member has continued, but a new commissioner could be named by

the December Re-gents meeting at the earliest, said Committee Chair Maurice Durbin.

“The Board of Regents will con-tinue to work with the legislature to maximize our abil-ity to attract and hire a qualifi ed

candidate for the commissioner of higher education position,” Casper said. ”It will take us all working

together to achieve a positive out-come.”

Qualifi ed candidates for com-missioner may hesitate to apply because of the “number of hoops” they must jump through to be hired, Erwin said.

Louisiana is one of the few states that requires approval of the candidate and his or her salary, Er-win explained. With the legisla-tive panel’s recent refusal, some offi -cials believe Loui-siana has taken a step backward.

C h a n c e l l o r Michael Martin

even questioned whether debate over the interim commissioner’s salary was worth the “black eye” it has given to perceptions of higher education in Louisiana.

“I am disheartened somewhat by the inclination of a legislative subcommittee to micromanage things,” Martin said.

Despite this setback, the Board is moving forward with this year’s agenda.

“As would be expected, the lack of a full-time commissioner who identifi es and drives both an internal and external agenda limits the scope of work that can be done at Regents and may impact the pace at which transformational change can occur,” Casper said. “However, the Board and staff collectively will ensure that the necessary work of the budget, the GRAD Act, the statewide transfer degree and other numerous legislative mandates are handled effi ciently and effectively.”

Mike VI kept in night house during habitat maintenance

The 15,000-square-foot hab-itat for the University’s beloved mascot has housed only a live oak tree and a waterfall this week as routine maintenance is com-pleted on Mike VI’s home.

“Mike VI was kept inside his night house starting Mon-day, Aug. 23 so that work could be done on the habitat,” Ginger Guttner, School of Veterinary Medicine spokeswoman, said in an email.

While the Vet School pro-vides care for the live tiger

mascot, the Athletic Department is responsible for habitat mainte-nance.

The “routine maintenance of Mike’s habitat” should be com-plete by Friday, “or Monday at the latest,” Ronnie Haliburton, associate athletic director for fa-cilities and grounds , said in an email.

While corrective action to re-pair the habitat happens as need-ed, the department generally does “extensive work like this every three to four years,” Haliburton said.

The maintenance work in-cludes repairing stucco cracks, replacing damaged molding, re-coating stucco in the viewing area and inside the habitat, re-placing all sealants and applying epoxy to waterproof the cracks

below the water line at the glass viewing area.

Mike VI’s offi cial Twitter account, @MikeTigerVI, posted a message Thursday morning about the construction.

“Back inside this morning so that the contractors can do some more work on my pool,” the tiger tweeted. “Hopefully I’ll be back out to see you after lunch.”

Haliburton said the aver-age annual cost of maintaining the habitat runs from $25,000 to $35,000 with the bulk of the cost relating to water quality. The rou-tine maintenance costs an addi-tional $25,000 to $45,000 .

Student gossip website gains prominence among students

Collegiate gossip website JuicyCampus left some students wanting more upon its exit from the Internet, but two new sites are waiting to fi ll the void — Total-FratMove.com and GreekRank.com.

J u i c y C a m -pus, an online tabloid target-ing sororities and fraternities, was shut down in May 2009 because of the severity of ru-mors and abusive comments posted on the site.

Rachel Klein , accounting junior and member of Phi Mu sorority , said she visited Juicy Campus when it was still online.

“When Juicy Campus was in existence, I looked at that. I went on it when I heard about it fresh-

man year because I heard about some people I knew being talk-ed about on it,” Klein said. “The comments about people were so mean, though, that I stopped going to look at it, and then next thing I heard was

that it got so bad that they shut it down.”

With Juicy Campus now

defunct, other sites have moved in to take its place.

TotalFratMove.com is a site similar to TextsFromLastNight.com and FMyLife.com.

TFM has many components to it, including an online store and user-submitted pictures and videos.

The site’s layout is based more on entertainment than bash-ing and harsh judgments.

“We saw an opportunity to create a user-generated entertain-ment platform for a segment of college life that is underrepre-sented online,” said W. Holden, TFM spokesman.

Holden said he took notes on

functionality and certain features from those before him, but he feels TFM has exceeded others in its level of entertainment and quality.

“TotalFratMove is really fun-ny, and I would defi nitely go on for a good laugh,” said Kaitlynn Jambon , agricultural business fi nance junior and member of Sigma Alpha sorority. “However, if it’s bashing sororities, then that is horrible and not funny at all.”

TFM has been on the Web since June . Holden said the site has had more than 3 million hits since the page was created.

Another site that blossomed during the summer is GreekRank.

com. GreekRank most resembles JuicyCampus with its ranking system and comment area.

GreekRank has become a more negative forum, which has caused uproar from users. The negative comments have become a problem and, according to the site, a new Web page is in the making that will focus more on the positive, friendly arena of comments.

“We all looked at it before Rush and we were all really con-cerned because people were mak-ing negative comments about us,” said Emily Oakley , biology senior and member of the Chi Omega sorority. “We thought it might affect rush, but none of the girls that came through men-tioned it at all. I guess that just shows that no one takes that stuff seriously.”

Investigators had previous-ly said they believed the plane left the lodge between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., and that it was found sometime be-tween 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., based on pre-liminary infor-

mation they’d received.The report does not give

a cause for the crash, and it sheds no new light on weather

conditions encountered by the pi-lot, who didn’t fi le a fl ight plan and was relying on visual fl ight rules for what was supposed to have been a relatively short fl ight to a fi shing camp.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Former LSU Chancellor and NASA chief Sean O’Keefe has been moved from an Alaska hos-pital to a hospital in Washington, D.C., according to media reports Thursday.

O’Keefe has been hospital-ized since he was on a plane that crashed Aug. 9 near Dillingham, Alaska. The crash killed fi ve peo-ple — including former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens — while four people survived.

A family spokesman told WAFB that O’Keefe wasn’t moved for any “particular dan-ger” and that he has made prog-ress. The name of O’Keefe’s new hospital location was not given.

LSU System spokesman Charles Zewe could not confi rm the report to The Daily Reveille on Thursday.

O’Keefe’s son, Kevin, has already been released from the hospital.

Sean O’Keefe was Chancel-lor at the University from 2005 to 2008. He resigned Jan. 16, 2008.

The preliminary report re-leased Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board about the crash said the plane left a corporate-owned lodge around 2:30 p.m., and the wreckage was spotted on a remote southwest Alaska mountainside at about 8:05 p.m. It said the crash oc-curred around 2:45 p.m.

Kinesiology growing within University

As society becomes more conscious of health and staying in shape, the kinesiology major has become more popular both at the University and nationally.

According to the Offi ce of Budget and Planning , kinesiolo-gy’s undergraduate enrollment has increased from 373 students in fall 2003 to 551 students in fall 2009.

Between 2003 and 2009, en-rollment in kinesiology steadily in-creased, with the exception of fall 2006. Within a one-year period, the largest increase in enrollment occurred between 2004 and 2005 with an additional 84 students.

“Kinesiology caters to many people through its wide variety of concentrations, including athletic training , sports management , ex-ercise physiology and even pre-med ,” said Emily Dawson , kinesi-ology sophomore .

Sports administration has be-come a popular new program, and many students are interested in working within the sports indus-try, said Katherine F. Hill , assistant chair of the Kinesiology Depart-ment.

“The courses are very applied and relative to what the students want to learn,” she said.

Laura Aleman , kinesiology sophomore , said she agreed with Hill .

“I gained an interest in hu-man movement , physical activity and the anatomy of humans after running cross country and track for several years,” Aleman said. “From the moment I stepped foot onto the track, I knew this was go-ing to be a passion of mine, and once I graduate, I plan to go physi-cal therapy school .”

Laura K. Stewart , assistant professor of kinesiology , said many students she encounters are prepar-ing to become physical therapists , a career that has gained popularity in recent years.

T. Gilmour Reeve , profes-sor and chair of the Kinesiology Department , said people realize physical activity is important to everyone, not just young children and athletes.

“The window has widened,

and there is a larger need for ex-perts,” Reeve said.

Reeve said there are many “quacks” in the fi eld looking to make quick money, and it is im-portant experts are available to dis-credit any false information.

“Popular job prospects include strength and conditioning coach-ing , physical therapy , physical education and corporate wellness programming ,” Stewart said.

Wanda Hargroder , assistant professor of kinesiology , said ki-nesiology is more science-based today than it was previously, and more jobs are available in the area.

“Some people may say that kinesiology is an easy college de-gree, but I think it’s just as hard as any other major. Our classes go into great depth and contain a lot of material,” Aleman said. “While most people think studying for ki-nesiology just contains memoriz-ing, it takes plenty of understand-ing and comprehending how the body works along with chemistry and physics.”

Spokesman says he has made progress

businesses that have tried their hand in the area. The Chimes Restaurant opened in 1983 — after the building was previously used as a drug store — and has been around for about 27 years.

In the last 20 years, State Street and the Chimes area has seen Pizza Hut, Blockbuster, Gap, Foot Lock-er, Sunglass Hut, Claire’s, Great American Cookie, Verizon Wireless and others open their doors, only to meet little success and close, ac-cording to research done by Clarke Cadzow of the North Gate Mer-chants Association.

In that same timeframe, local businesses like The Chimes, Lou-ie’s, Inga’s Subs and Salads, High-land Coffees, Chimes Textbook Ex-change and The Bicycle Shop have remained popular mainstays of the neighborhood.

“Chain stores are not going to solidify this neighborhood. Unique-ness is something people gravitate to,” said State Street landowner Jer-emy Dellafiora.

Campus Apartments, a Phila-delphia-based company, owns Col-lege Row, as well as the Campus Crossings and Venue apartment complexes.

Campus Apartments Execu-tive Vice President and Chief In-vestment Officer Dan Bernstein is optimistic the shopping center will bring in enough business to do well.

“We hope by bringing in more traffic we’ll be more successful,” Bernstein said.

Julia Terese, a creative writing junior who lives on State Street, de-scribed the neighborhood as young-er and more free-spirited than other areas around campus, and said she doesn’t think the new development goes with the neighborhood.

“It doesn’t really fit because it’s a big corporate block,” Terese said.

But bringing in local business-es wasn’t an economic possibility because Campus Apartments need-

ed companies that would be able to pay off their leases, Bernstein said.

“To get financing you have to have credit tenants,” Bernstein said. “We tried to get a good mix of credit tenants and needed goods and ser-vices.”

What most people in the neigh-borhood wanted in the space was a grocery store, said long-time resi-dent Jerome Braud, who has lived in the North Gate area for more than 20 years.

“We’ve gone 10 years, maybe a little more, without a grocery store in this neighborhood. Their choice of tenants so far I really am not lik-ing on an existential level,” Braud said.

But a grocery store wasn’t pos-sible for the space, Bernstein said.

“Grocery stores are a difficult development,” he said. “We would have had to devote the whole parcel to a grocery store.”

While the new center will bring

competition, it could have a positive effect on business around the North Gate area, said Charlotte Cox, Sto-ryville manager and member of the North Gate Merchants Association.

“I think it’s an incentive for students to come to this side of cam-pus,” Cox said.

Campus Apartments tried to bring in good tenants that, although large companies, are relatively unique to Baton Rouge and have a higher chance of being successful,

Bernstein said.Campus Apartments is also

bringing in direct competitors to lo-cal businesses, but no one wants to see local places go out of business, Faulkner said.

“When that happens, you’re getting rid of a lot of what makes a good city,” Faulkner said.

Louie Sisk, Louie’s original owner, stands in front of Louie’s Dutch Mill on Chimes Street in 1942. Sisk changed the restaurant’s name to Louie’s Cafe in the 1960s.

ZACH BREAUX / The Daily Reveille

The new Louie’s Cafe, located on State Street, was expanded in the 1970s by its new owner and is now a popular eatery among students and locals.

For the LSU soccer team, the real test begins now.

After kicking off their 2010 campaign by pouring in eight goals against a punchless South Alabama side, the No. 18 Tigers (1-0) face a much stiffer challenge Saturday in the form of three-time defending Conference USA champion Mem-phis (2-0) .

If LSU coach Brian Lee is

concerned about his young squad looking ahead, he need only point to last year to illustrate the dangers of losing focus.

Memphis suffocated LSU’s at-tack in a 2-0 win to open the 2009 season , allowing no shots on goal during the match. Lee said that result is a distant memory for this year’s team, however.

“It’s not a huge factor,” he said. “We’re a very different team in al-most every way than we were at the beginning of last season.”

The Tigers are different — the team graduated eight seniors and has only six returning starters .

Losing offensive stalwarts Me-lissa Clarke and Malorie Rutledge

seemed immaterial last week, as 11 different Tigers tallied a goal or as-sist in the fi rst match . The eight balls that found the back of the net were the most in a game for LSU since the 2004 season .

But the team also graduated three four-year starters on the back line, and this year’s unit hasn’t quite turned the corner. While the quartet helped keep a clean sheet against South Alabama , they merited only cautious praise post-match.

“The back four — we just need some organization work,” said Lee . “[They’re] good players, but not always playing together. We’re

Toliver Steps OutThe wait is fi nally over for

Terrence Toliver. The 6-foot-5-inch receiver

came into his own last season as the Tigers’ No. 2 option behind Brandon LaFell. He will fi nally get his chance to be the unques-tioned No. 1 re-ceiver in 2010 after stepping on campus in 2007 as the nation’s top receiver recruit.

Toliver enters his senior season trying to continue the pedigree of success that has followed LSU wide receivers in recent years. The Tigers have had fi ve receivers make NFL rosters since 2007.

Toliver had the benefi t of playing with LaFell, Early Doucet and Demetrius Byrd, all of whom he credits with his de-velopment as a player.

“Those guys were my men-tors while they were here,” To-liver said of the three draftees. “I learned a lot from them, like learning how to run routes, learn-ing how to read coverage and getting acclimated to the college game.”

In the fi rst extensive playing time of his career, Toliver blos-somed, posting 53 catches for 735 yards and three touchdowns in his junior year, including two 100-yard games and a six-catch performance against Penn State in the Capital One Bowl.

“[Toliver] had 50-plus catch-es in the SEC last year, which is huge,” said sophomore receiver

Russell Shepard. “He probably had the least talked about 53 catches that I’ve ever heard of. He’s a great receiver, and every-body respects him.”

Toliver faced one setback during the 2010 spring semester when he was involved in an off-fi eld incident outside Reggie’s

Bar in Tigerland. He was charged for disturbing the peace, public in-toxication and re-sisting an offi cer.

T o l i v e r emerged from the arrest having been stunned by the on-site police offi cer and suf-fered a broken

hand.“It was an embarrassment to

the team, to my coaching staff, the players, my family and it was embarrassing to me,” Toliver said after the incident. “That was to-tally out of my character. It won’t happen again.”

Toliver has said during fall practice he has put the incident behind him, realizing his position on the team this season.

“I’m just trying to step up and be a leader this year,” Toliver said. “I was kind of thrust into it this year since LaFell is gone, so I’m trying to step up and be a leader this year and help the young guys who just came in.”

Toliver has far more experi-ence than anyone on a talented but green receiving corps. In fact, his 53 catches last season are more than the rest of the receivers’ career numbers com-bined.

The No. 23 LSU volleyball team will begin its 2009 Southeast-ern Conference title defense Friday afternoon in College Station, Texas.

The Tigers will compete in the Texas A&M Invitational, facing off against Pacifi c on Friday at noon , Siena at 8 p.m. and Texas A&M on Saturday at noon.

LSU will take the court with just three returning starters — se-nior outside hitter Angela Bensend, junior libero Lauren Waclawczyk and junior middle blocker Michele Williams.

Bensend will be expected to provide the Tigers’ offensive fi re-power. In the last three seasons, they have won 14 of 15 matches in which Bensend has logged double-digit kills.

Waclawczyk tallied 425 digs in 2009 and fi nished 10th in the SEC with a 3.76 dig-per-set ratio. Wil-liams , a 2010 All-SEC Preseason Team selection, will bring her 244 kills, 124 blocks and 30 aces to the team.

LSU coach Fran Flory said she is ready to see the defense in action.

“I think we’re a pretty good de-fensive and ball control team,” Flory said. “But you don’t know that until you get across the net from someone else.”

SCHWEHMING AROUND

The future.It’s normally a term coaches

cling to when the season isn’t go-ing the right way, when their jobs get put on the line and fans start to mumble.

It’s normally something sports fans don’t like to hear. All we care about is the present and the success that team has had in the past.

But as we have found out at this University in the past few years with hurricanes and budget cuts, abnormal is the new normal. So when coaches around here use the cliché “the future of the program is bright,” sometimes (though not always), they aren’t lying.

Let’s take the case of two smaller sports on LSU’s campus that will make runs at Southeast-ern Conference championships in the fall — soccer and volleyball.

LSU soccer coach Brian Lee and volleyball coach Fran Flory held a joint media day last week to discuss the upcoming season and the “future” of their pro-grams.

Now, these two teams nor-mally hold press conferences to-gether, so that was nothing out of the norm. But what was odd about the whole thing was both coaches had the same thing to say.

Lee referred to his team as the “next generation” of LSU soccer, Flory spoke of her team as a “special” group of kids, and both teams lack the handful of se-niors they normally boast.

Their teams are exactly the same.

And that’s exciting not only for the “future” of these sports but for the present as well.

Lee’s team showed exactly what it’s capable of doing this season with an early 8-0 win at home during the weekend, and while Flory’s team hasn’t played in a match against another team yet, they are likely capable of do-ing the same thing with the crop of talent they have.

The volleyball and soccer teams both have something they haven’t had in the past few years while winning five and three SEC West Championships, respective-ly — depth.

Both are young, energetic teams that have the capability of putting a number of players into a match that will help secure vic-tory. That’s something that hasn’t really been seen from either of those teams recently.

That means for the next three to four years, the “future” of these programs is in good hands when the few seniors left on these teams leave.

But, then again, why worry about the future when you have the present?

I’m not going to go out on a limb and say either of these teams will take home the over-all SEC crown. But both will likely take home a division

championship, which is some-thing they have grown accus-tomed to doing recently.

It may take a few years for either team to make serious noise in their p o s t s e a s o n tournaments, but that’s not what matters.

What mat-ters is that this year these teams are go-

ing to be fun to watch because of their youth.

For all you freshmen and sophomores out there, one of the most fun aspects of being on a college campus is being able to watch young players grow into their full potential over four sea-sons. This is something you will

be able to do with these teams.So watch Lee’s and Flory’s

teams over the next few years. We get a little too comfortable at LSU with championship tradi-tions in most of the sports here on campus. And sometimes we take that for granted.

It’s nice to see a few teams with a bright future ahead of them.

But remember, let’s not for-get what these teams can do this year.

LSU junior midfielder Natalie Martineau (3) goes for the ball between the South Alabama defenders Sunday in the Tigers’ 8-0 victory against the Jaguars at the LSU Soccer Complex.

The LSU men’s and women’s golf teams will get the opportunity to test out their new digs this fall after their home course, the Univer-sity Club, completes renovations.

The company hired to do the renovations, Landscapes Unlim-ited, installed new lakes and dug dips and furrows into the course, using the dirt from the excavations to add hills and complications to the greens.

The course, which is a mem-bers-only course, will re-open for play this Friday.

Both teams adopted the Coun-try Club of Louisiana last season while the University Club was get-ting a facelift. The purpose of the renovations was to bring champion-ship golf to Baton Rouge, and the early returns on the investment are looking good.

The Tigers were recently cho-sen as one of six schools to host a regional tournament in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. It will be the first time in the program’s history the Tigers will host a regional.

“The ability to host an NCAA regional at home is a tremendous accomplishment for our program,”

LSU men’s golf coach Chuck Win-stead said in a news release. “I’m proud and happy for the many peo-ple who have made it possible. This is further validation of what we’ve been able to accomplish through our renovation to the University Club and one more step forward for our golf program here at LSU.”

Winstead was a driving force behind the planning of the renova-tions and, along with Lady Tigers’ coach Karen Bahnsen, gave input on how the updates to the course would be designed.

Input from Bahnsen, Winstead, and PGA professional David Toms

had a major effect on the style of the changes, said Jared LeBouef, gener-al manager of the University Club.

“They go around and they travel and play the best courses in the country, so it comes to life in their vision,” LeBouef said. “With Toms’ experience on the PGA tour, that goes without saying. If you take all that input, you can build a pretty good golf course.”

University Club renovations started in December. The only snag in the renovations process was the difficulty brought on by the weath-er, which LeBouef said was unusu-ally bad in December and January.

The University Club wasn’t deemed worthy of postseason play before the renovations because of its lack of difficult shots. The course lacked “definition and character,” LeBouef said.

This will not be the case after

the renovations are completed.The course added yardage and

a degree of difficulty that hadn’t been present before the renovations. Hazards and elevation changes now lie where a flat, wide-open shot used to be, forcing golfers to be creative with their appraches to the green.

“The whole course was fairly wide open — you could hit the ball anywhere. The greens were fairly flat; we just had a flat piece of land,” LeBouef said. “You have to move a lot of dirt to create what we did, so that’s what we did.”

The pro-shop began taking tee-times for the re-opening on Aug. 20, and LeBouef said the times were all booked in 45 minutes.

“We had a member get here at 4:30 this morning, two and a half hours before we took tee times,” LeBouef said. “I think the members are excited about the renovations as well.”

larger roles on the team are sopho-more libero Sam Delahoussaye, sophomore outside hitter Madie Jones and sophomore libero Meghan Mannari.

Flory is still unsure how the unseasoned team will perform in its first matches of the season.

“There will be opening day jit-ters,” Flory said. “I’m sure we’ll be nervous.”

Seeing how other coaches at-tack her strategies has Flory excited for the start of the season.

“I’m actually anxious to be ex-ploited by another coach, because that’s how we’ll get better,” Flory said. “We try to do that ourselves, but any new perspective of how to attack us is going to make us that much better.”

Pacific returns all seven start-ers from a team that finished in ninth place at 7-17 in the Northwest Con-

ference last season.Siena, who has claimed four out

of the last five Metro Atlantic Athlet-ic Conference titles, has five seniors returning to a team that went 15-13 last season.

LSU will end the weekend with the same team that ended its 2009 season — Texas A&M. The Aggies defeated the Tigers in the PMAC in the second round of the NCAA tour-nament — a thought that hasn’t es-caped the minds of the LSU players.

“We want to win, there’s no question there,” said senior setter Brittney Johnson. “But we want to win in preseason so we have mo-mentum and can come into the SEC strong. We’re going to use each tour-nament and each weekend to help us get ready for conference play.”

younger, so we’ll maybe have the occasional misstep.”

Such mistakes will not be so easily dismissed this time around.

Memphis returns the previous two Conference USA Offensive Players of the Year, Vendula Str-nadova and Ashley Berra. The duo combined for Memphis’ pair of goals in last year’s win against LSU.

Senior defender Courtney Alex-ander said the match is an opportu-nity for the defense to improve and gain much-needed playing experi-ence.

“A lot of [what we need] is just playing together, which comes with

playing minutes in games,” she said. “When games come, things happen, and you have to be able to adjust and learn. We still have a lot of work to do, but I think it’s getting ready to come together.”

The match is the opener of a critical stretch that will see the Tigers travel to face four different teams, all of whom are currently ranked in at least one top 25 poll.

“We want to see how we re-spond to a higher-level challenge, and we’re going to get that with Memphis,” Lee said. “The non-conference schedule is fantastic. I’m excited to see how we do going for-ward against some good teams.”

Lee said the non-conference

slate is designed to simulate the demanding nature of Southeastern Conference play, where the Tigers have surged to three consecutive Western Division championships and finished runner-up for the over-all conference title in 2009.

LSU goes into the match hav-ing moved up to No. 18 in the Soccer Times Top 25 Poll. Mem-phis claimed its first ranking in the NSCAA Top 25 in program history after wins against Saint Louis and Samford, entering at No. 23.


“[Toliver has] taught me how to be a complete receiver,” Shepard said. “[He] has the most game experience on this team, pe-riod. From day one, from head to bottom, he’s played more games than anyone on this roster. He’s taught me how to be poised and how to lead by example, which is something I desperately needed.”

Toliver heads a group that consists of sophomore Rueben Randle, whose size and physical tools closely resemble Toliver’s, Shepard, who is making a con-version from quarterback to wide receiver, sophomore Chris Toll-iver and freshmen Kadron Boone and Jarrett Fobbs.

Boone regarded Toliver with reverence and said he is both a vocal leader and is careful to lead by example.

“Anything you have a ques-tion on, you can just go ask him and he’ll give you an answer,” Boone said. “He’s going to get you ready to go this year. He’s going to go over things with you that you need to work on. If he sees something that you’re do-ing wrong he’s going to tell you about it to help make you a better receiver.”

Toliver could parlay a solid season into a high draft pick, though his statistics should cor-

relate to the effectiveness of whichever quarterback is taking snaps for LSU this season.

But when Toliver speaks, he refreshingly refrains from any diva mentality that seems to plague virtually every talent-ed No. 1 option on any football team, professional or collegiate.

“I’m trying to do anything to help my team win,” Toliver

said. “I’m not really focused on any individual accolades right now, I just want to help this team win and get over the hump that we’ve been struggling with the last year.”

Monday’s edition of The Daily Reveille contained an opinion col-umn expressing the views of col-umnist Chris Grillot, a former com-munity college student.

In his experience, community colleges offer easier study loads and, above all else, opportunities to cheat. The column was founded in the frustration felt by many Univer-sity students whose peers have tak-en numerous courses at lower-level institutions and transferred, but will still graduate with the same degree as those who have taken the harder courses at LSU.

As the opinion editor, I was quite proud to feature the column. It was engaging and successfully

exposed an injustice in the Univer-sity’s credit transfer policies.

However, as a student at LSU, I was quite disappointed in Student

Government’s actions Wednes-day night re-garding local outrage caused by the column.

At their first fall meet-ing, SG sena-tors converged with BRCC’s student gov-

ernment president to express its disassociation with The DailyReveille, and more specifically

Chris Grillot’s column. They want-ed to distance themselves so strong-ly that they passed a resolution.

The resolution took up sub-stantial time and was the only mea-sure voted on Wednesday night.

The problem with this — if it’s not obvious enough already — is that our representatives felt it more important to pass an official resolu-tion to clear their names — which wasn’t even in jeopardy — rather than preside over other campus matters. Solving the housing needs for more than 600 students and the budget cut crisis will apparently have to wait.

Heaven help us if we were to lose our SG diplomatic credibility

with BRCC over an unaffiliated op-ed column.

In all fairness, LSU SG didn’t come up with the resolution on its own. BRCC’s student government president contacted LSU SG of-ficials, and, in courtesy to BRCC, the Senate wrote the resolution to pacify the situation.

However, it did manage to take up most of the Senate’s time Wednesday. That was a waste be-cause the resolution has already been printed many times.

The newly-passed resolution already exists, in a more abbrevi-ated form, in each and every copy of The Daily Reveille, located at the bottom left-page of the Opinion

section labeled “Editorial Policies and Procedures.”

Keep this up, SG, and soon you’ll have the best public image imaginable — and will have ac-complished nothing.

WEB COMMENTSAs usual, the Opinion section of our website, lsureveille.com, has been absolutely buzzing with reader comments. Check it out to-day and let your voice be heard.

Regarding Cody Worsham’s col-umn “Budget cuts are opportu-nity, natural economic response,” users had this to say:

“Mr. Worsham (apologies if the Mr. is presumptuous), your argument is at best flawed and at worst sheer stupidity. As an LSU alum and current grad student I’m insulted that you are using a Uni-versity-supported medium to advo-cate for this financial assault upon Louisiana higher education that is horribly unplanned and strategi-cally unsound.

Louisiana’s community and technical college system is not a major component of Louisiana’s higher education problems as these institutions typically serve a single community and offer invaluable opportunities for members of those communities to receive technical training, improve current job skills, and complete the core curriculum of any of Louisiana’s four-year institutions in an environment that offers smaller classes and a more intimate learning experience. While Louisiana does support too many four-year institutions, adding our two-year LCTC system only serves to misguide your audience.

Also, your claim that higher education can take drastic budget cuts better than other parts of the economy is just silly. An educated population is essential for econom-ic growth and it will take years if not generations for LSU and other universities around the state to re-cover from these hits, further in-creasing our state’s dependence

on lower-income generating fields like tourism and/or on the sale of our state’s natural resources. And in case you did not realize, education is EXPENSIVE. We deserve the best minds possible here to educate our children and those minds, the equipment these minds and their students use, and other things cost money. To accept anything less than the absolute best is to consign our state to poverty.

By the way, LSU has always been considered Louisiana’s pri-mary public institution (at least by the legislature), read up on LSU’s history, as well as the history of Louisiana higher education. While this lack of support for education, including LSU, is hardly new; we have always looked to LSU to pro-vide the pace for our state’s colle-giate education.

Now, I do agree that because of the economy higher education almost has to take some damage. However, we should be demanding that Gov. [Bobby] Jindal and the Legislature have a sound, strategic plan for making higher education come out of this unfortunate period better. We have “state leaders” who refuse to let their area take one for the team, and as a result the entire state is being forced below medioc-rity. Support and/or offer a plan, do not support the status quo and say it will all work itself out. Education is not a commodity, but an invest-ment.”

— Anonymous

“The last thing this world needs is more University of Phoe-nix graduates. This seems to imply the wave of the future is a greater demand in for-profit education. There are loftier goals universities serve rather than what they provide

individual students. I do agree with your point that Louisiana’s public education system is too large. More funding should be contributed to this campus, as it is arguably the highest standard of education and research in the state.”

— Steve

Regarding Andrew Robertson’s column, “Ground Zero mosque: a great misnomer,” readers had this to say:

“I am 100 percent sure you have no knowledge about Islam. Please, before you write or say that Islam is a peaceful religion, read the Quran and find me ONE VERSE ONLY talking about peace

with non-Muslims. Read Soret EL TOBA verses 5 and 29 Also Soret AL NEISA (WOMEN) verse 169. Also in Soret ALBAQARQ (COW) there are more then 25 verses about KILLING. Do not be kidding your-self.”

— Magdi Abdelmasihaug

“I’ll be the first to say that I’m almost always in agreement with the right, but this whole affair is absolutely ludicrous! It’s good to see that there are still some people out there (like the author of this ar-ticle) who actually take the time to research the “ground zero mosque” and Islam in general. Not a day goes by that I don’t hear Muslims slandered in one way or another,

and 99.999 percent of the time the comments contain misinterpreted sections of the Quran or just flat out incorrect, blinding ignorance. To me, what’s occurring in Amer-ica today is almost eerily similar to what happened before and dur-ing the Cold War. In other words, there is a clear juxtaposition be-tween America’s aversion to Islam today and the Red Scare of the past. Thank you, Andrew, for defying the widely-accepted ignorance; I just wish more people saw it the way we do.”

THE C-SECTION

“I don’t care if it’s heroin in my cup. It’s in my cup. F!#% you.” — Lil’ Wayne.

Along with many other rea-sonably intelligent rappers, Wayne has brought a new pimp cup into the limelight in the last decade. Stars like Lil’ Wayne, Three 6 Ma-fia and Lil’ Boosie have even been seen publicly carrying their new, trendy white Styrofoam cups filled with their new favorite concoction.

And it seems the main ingredi-ent of this mixture has grown out of celebrity status into students’ hands at the University.

But just what is the main in-gredient of Weezy’s favorite drink? You guessed it. Promethazine with codeine.

If you don’t know what pro-methazine (Phenergan, “purple drank,” “sizzurp” or “lean”) is, it is a non-narcotic prescription cough and nausea medication combined with codeine — an opiate. When consumed, it not only alleviates cough and nausea, but produces a sense of drowsiness and an opiate- induced euphoria.

Oh, and codeine is also a

Schedule II narcotic with a “high potential for abuse,” according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Ad-ministration.

So just how is this super syrup getting on campus?

Is the be-loved Weezy F Baby dealing it out of his tour bus?

Of course not. Wayne is in jail where he belongs. The precious syrup is coming from a place all too famil-iar to any student who has been sick.

It is coming from the Student Health Center.

With that said, I’m not about to bash the Student Health Center and ruin your connection, nor do I really care that the stuff is floating around campus. I just find a level of irony in the whole situation.

And the Health Center is not blind to the amount.

“[The Student Health

Center is] aware of a growing trend of students abusing prescription medication,” Julie Hupperich, as-sociate director of the SHC, said in an email. She also said the abuse is not the fault of “[the Student Health Center’s] clinicians’ medi-cal expertise or prescribing proto-col.”

Not satisfied, I interviewed 35 students about the matter in the Quad. I was met with people agree-ing with the fact promethazine and codeine is prescribed on reason-able terms. Others claimed it’s pos-sible to acquire without illness.

Some said “they had no idea” what I was asking about. Others smirked and told me they wouldn’t comment because of the nature of the subject. And one said, “Dude, I need to get to the frat house.”

One student agreed with Hupperich’s statements. Lau-ren Thibault, mass communica-tion sophomore, said she was prescribed “antibiotics, steroids and promethazine for a ‘hacking’ cough” she had during the spring 2010 semester. Sounds reasonable.

But some students disagree.

Ryan Williams, graphic design sophomore, claims he has heard “[the syrup] is easy to get at the Student Health Center.”

Ben Cicero, English senior, stated he “met a guy at a party who was drinking ‘lean’ he got by tell-ing the Health Center he smoked too many cigarettes during exam week and got sick.”

And to top it off, a former stu-dent who wished to remain anony-mous told me, “I smoked a bunch of ciggies, told the doctor I was sick and got a big ole bottle from the Student Health Center.”

Although the accounts differ, the main idea is the medication is being prescribed to students, even some who don’t need it, in turn adding to the amount of the liquid present on campus.

So if you haven’t found the irony yet, it lies (or at least I think it does) in the fact that the powerful concoction is being prescribed to college students on campus. This isn’t the Adderall you buy from your girlfriend’s roommate during exam week to study or the pot you vaporize in your dorm. This is a bit

bigger of a deal — actually a lot bigger.

People aren’t buying it from friends — it’s being prescribed.

“Lean” has caused deaths by respiratory depression (see: Pimp C and DJ Screw). It has also caused arrests (see: JaMarcus Russell).

But overall, don’t beat me up and tell me I ruined your campus connection. I’m not asking for any-thing to change, nor do I believe anything actually would, no mat-ter what I write about the infamous “purple drank.” I simply find a bit of dark humor in the situation.

And on that note, assuming nothing changes, when released from prison, somebody should call up our boy Lil’ Wayne. We can be his Baton Rouge connection when the “pro-methazine fiend” returns.

Egg consumption, the incredible edible salmonellaDON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE

Whole eggs are nutritional powerhouses.

They are considered complete proteins. They contain all nine essential amino acids our body requires — nutrients our body doesn’t make, but needs and must be obtained through our diet.

They are economical and stay fresh long when stored correctly. And, just as importantly, they keep us full for a while after eaten.

But should the recent recall of eggs stop you from eating them at home or ordering dishes at restau-rants that contain them?

Last week, we were informed of eggs from two farms in Iowa that were contaminated with sal-monella enteritidis (SE) and mak-ing people sick.

Who’s to blame? Govern-ment? Egg producers? Restau-rants?

Should we consider ourselves lucky every time we order eggs sunny side up at Louie’s Cafe and don’t get sick?

Consuming eggs in 2010 has now become even more danger-ous than before because federal agencies can’t effectively monitor the safety of U.S. food production. From March 1 to Aug. 25, there has been 2,403 reported illnesses because of SE — that’s a four-fold increase compared to normal inci-dences.

The spread of SE is a conse-quence of overcrowded egg farms that facilitate the spread of bac-teria. Although keeping chickens confined to an area is essential because of predators and wander-

ing chickens, hens piled on top one another in small, battery cages smothered by feathers and feces is

a recipe for the spread of dis-eases.

N i n e t y -eight percent of consumers are choosing eggs produced in this fashion.

What about those more ex-

pensive, fancy packaged eggs lo-cated right next to the regular ones in the grocery store?

A brown egg isn’t safer than a white egg. It is just a different breed of hen.

“Cage free” chickens don’t guarantee non-contaminated eggs.

A “Certified Humane” egg can still have SE.

A “USDA Certified Organic” egg doesn’t guarantee an SE-free egg.

The only things that guar-antees no contamination are pas-teurized eggs and pasteurized egg products.

If eggs can be “Certified Hu-mane,” why can’t they be “Certi-fied SE Free?”

Is it a tougher task? Probably.Is it achievable? Absolutely.Maybe the government has

finally realized it is important to keep commercially produced foods, which are widely available safe for consumers. They are final-ly going at the big egg producers.

As recently as July 9, 2010, the federal government is now

requiring egg producers with more than 50,000 hens to take strict mea-sures to prevent SE in their facili-ties. Previously, all the focus was placed on the post-production of eggs to prevent the spread of SE.

The feds were a little late, judging by this current outbreak of SE. I hope we see a full investiga-tion and find out soon if the farms that produced these contaminated eggs were breaking any of the new laws passed or if this newly coor-dinated strategy between the Food and Drug Administration and the

U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Inspection Service has failed us once again.

These are the same agencies that were persuaded by the major egg producers in 2005 to remove the safe handling instructions from the outside of the carton and place them inside — essentially hiding them from consumers.

Is consuming eggs risky? Cooked and handled properly,

they can be eaten and enjoyed with no worries.

I ordered mine scattered, cov-

ered, smothered with a side of Bert’s Chili.
