Editor’s note: This is the fi rst in a series of profi les on the Student Government presidential campaign. The candi-dates are listed in al-phabetical order by presidential candi-dates’ last names.

As the spring 2013 Student Government elections draw near, T Graham S. Howell and Kaitlin Torké are preparing for a presiden-tial and vice presidential campaign to improve the way SG is run.

“Kaitlin and I have chosen to run because we believe Student Government is not serving at its full potential,” Howell said. “There is a lot that must be changed in order

for the organization to make an impact on the student

body and the University.”Howell , a mass

communication and psychology junior , and Torké , a mass commu-nication and political

science junior , said they are running on the theme of

“Impact.”“We chose the slogan ‘Im-

pact’ because we believe that that is where Student Government has

failed,” said Howell . “It is the job of Student Government to advocate for students and this University; unless we have an impact with what we do, our job could be viewed as a failure.”

Howell and Torké hope to make changes at the University through a series of 25 initiatives, which include focuses on academ-ics, student life, transportation, Ba-ton Rouge and the LSU community.

“Last year, some of the themes were ‘Your LSU’ and ‘Be Heard LSU,’ and it’s fi ne if you want to be heard, but unless the people who get in offi ce do something, there

Theatre assistant professor and resi-dent fi ght choreographer Nick Erickson is off to Russia to create a spectacular expe-rience for an estimated one billion viewers — in the name of the 2014 Soshi Winter Olympics .

As a movement specialist, Erickson will work with a team of almost 30 per-formers from around the world to lay the groundwork for the center section of the opening ceremonies.

“This is going to be a visual feast,” Erickson said. “The stadium is specially designed to handle a new way of perform-ing opening ceremonies. The roof and dome is structurally advanced with tracks and other parts that allow for hanging.”

Erickson has already attended a cre-ative meeting in New York City to lay out the event, but will travel to Moscow on March 11 to discuss the project in more detail.

At the weeklong conference in March , all of the heads of the core cre-ative teams will work to create the struc-ture of the performance in detail, from

Pope blesses huge crowd of devotees from window in St. Peter’s Square

VATICAN CITY (AP) — His arms outstretched in a symbolic embrace, Pope Benedict XVI blessed tens of thousands of cheering people on Sunday in one of his last appear-ances as pontiff from his window overlooking St. Peter’s Square.

Last week, 85-year-old Bene-dict shocked the world by an-nouncing his resignation. He will step down on Feb. 28, planning to retreat to a life of prayer in a mon-astery behind the Vatican’s ancient walls.

Benedict made no direct refer-ence to his departure.Iran’s leader steps deeper into the political fray as elections approach

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s supreme leader Aya-tollah Ali Khamenei has adopted the position of political referee as political mudslinging gets heavier ahead of elections in June to pick a successor for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Khamenei has chided the par-liament speaker, Ali Larijani, for publicly humiliating Ahmadinejad in response to an ambush earlier this month in parliament when he played a videotape tape purported to show corruption inside the fam-ily of the chamber’s speaker.

Hummingbirds migrating to North America several days earlier in spring

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Ruby-throated hummingbirds are migrating to North America weeks earlier than in decades past, and re-search indicates that higher temper-atures in their winter habitat may be the reason.

Researchers say the early arriv-al could mean less food at nesting time for the tiny birds that feed on insect pests, help pollinate flowers and are popular with birdwatchers.

The research found that the birds are arriving in North Amer-ica 12 to 18 days earlier than in the past.Millionaire artist Stanley Marsh 3 settles lawsuits from 10 teenagers

AMARILLO, Texas (AP) — Stanley Marsh 3, an eccentric millionaire artist best known for his “Cadillac Ranch” art display along an interstate in the Texas Panhandle, has settled lawsuits from 10 teenagers who allege he paid them for sexual acts, attor-neys announced Saturday.

In a statement, the plain-tiffs’ attorney Anthony Buz-bee and Marsh’s attorney Kelly Utsinger said the teenagers and Marsh have resolved their differ-ences and that no side will have further comments.

WELSH (AP) — Southwest Louisi-ana rice farmers could reap benefits from growing Chinese agriculture markets by exporting rice there.

State Agriculture Commis-sioner Mike Strain and U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, dis-cussed opening the rice market and other agriculture-related issues with nearly two dozen farmers during a Farm Day forum last week.

“I think we may see more rice moving to China,” Strain said. “Right now China has 20 percent of the world’s population and pro-duces 20 percent of the world’s ag-riculture, but they are reaching finite limits where they can’t produce any more.” Baton Rouge animal shelter gets new director to improve facilities

(AP) — Beth Brewster started her job at St. Tammany Humane Society a day after Hurricane Rita struck in 2005.

Brewster said she is equipped to address the agency’s other disasters stemming from mismanagement and mutiny, and help the CAA meet its long-term goals of becoming a no-kill shelter and building a new facili-ty, and hiring an operations manager.

The current shelter takes in up to 9,000 animals per year.

Improvisation was the name of the game Friday night at Spontane-ous Combustion, an art event that paired local musicians and artists at the Stockade Bed and Breakfast on Highland Road

A small audience gathered to watch as up to seven musicians at a time ad-libbed using instruments that ranged from drums to a harp, while artists collaborated by painting and drawing, using inspiration from the rhythm and mood of the music.

The musicians played in unison and took cues from one another to set the tempo. The artists sat in close proximity to the instruments and were in deep concentration, often intensely focused on the canvas or paper in front of them.

“The idea is to interpret music visually,” said freshman interior de-sign student Daniel Willson.

Spontaneous Combustion be-gan as a musical jam session with Daniel Willson and his brother, alumnus Joel Willson, and friend, alumnus Ben Herrington. The proj-ect eventually grew to incorporate art-ists and expanded to public venues for audiences to enjoy.

The fi rst event was held nearly three years ago and the group has since held fi ve to seven a year at various ven-ues around the city, like Highland Coffees.

The event also allows the au-dience to experience the creative process fi rsthand and go home with those works of art as a lasting mem-ory, Joel Willson said.

The art works are raffl ed off to

the audience at the end of the night, and the proceeds go to the artists to reimburse them for materials used throughout the night.

Vickie Willson, Daniel and Jo-el’s mother, attends the Spontaneous Combustion events to oversee the raffl es at the end of the night.

Through her experience at the events, Vickie Willson said she has seen artists create works that don’t

resemble their spe-cifi c style. She said they are “moved by the music” to create something unique every time.

“[The artists] connect the differ-ent aspects of art and are moved by the sound of the

music,” she said.Joel Willson said the events

are also an attempt to get local art and artists recognized while keep-ing those artists in the Baton Rouge community, rather than having them leave to work in another venue.

“[Artists] move and we don’t

want them to move,” he said. “It’s about being the art you want to see [in the community].”

The Stockade Bed and Break-fast owner Janice DeLerno said she was excited to host the event. As a former art dealer, she said she sup-ports local art whenever she can.

“It’s a great way to support young artists,” she said.

The Stockade Bed and Break-fast is adorned with local and state-wide works of art, and DeLerno said the Spontaneous Combustion event falls right in line with what she sup-ports.

Alumnus and professional artist Alex Harvie participated in Sponta-neous Combustion for the fi rst time Friday, where he worked on a color-ful canvas situated a few feet from the musicians.

Harvie said the event was great and something he would do again.

“You can’t help yourself to not be infl uenced,” he said.

Students get wild for LSU’s ‘Harlem Shake’ video

The Student Wetland Society raised awareness for wetland prob-lems and research efforts Friday at the third biennial Student Wetland Symposium.

All students were encouraged to attend the series of presentations to view the poster submissions from students of many disciplines, listen to speakers and network at lunch.

Oceanography and coastal sci-ence graduate student and chair of the Student Wetland Symposium planning committee Melissa Carle said the biennial deadline gives more opportunity for students to present research and to include graduate and undergraduate stu-dents.

Carle said she was excited for the showcase of the variety of wetlands research across campus. Students of any major could partici-pate.

“We want to bring as many different perspectives as possible, ” Carle said.

This year, design students submitted a poster with plans for

Desoto Park in downtown Baton Rouge. The plan included high-lighting ecological features “as a wetland waterfront park .”

Chang Liu , environmental sci-ence graduate student, presented a poster on microbiodegradation, or

what specifi c microbes can do to clean pollution, particularly in oil spills.

The microbes are abundant, but because this is a relatively new fi eld of research, not many have been studied in the wetlands,

Liu said. Director of Coastal Systems

Ecology Ernst Peebles spoke on his Black Mangrove research and the importance of science and public policy com-ing together to protect the valuable ecosystem.

Because wetlands are an imperative tool for the Louisiana coast to protect itself against storms — and wetland loss can reduce that pro-tection — he said Hur-ricane Katrina created a necessity to fi nd out the cause and solution for the problem.

“Louisiana really woke up and started working on a comprehen-sive plan on managing the coast, ” Peebles said.

Carle said wetlands research and sustainability often call for many disciplines to solve problems.

“One of the big challenges is how [to] bring the scientist and the politics together ,” Carle said.

Peebles also explained the basics of the Restore Act , similar to Sen. Bill Nelson’s Act in Flori-da, that show a Gulf-wide plan to

protect the coast. Peebles said efforts of applied

science to aid policy-making are even in place in Baton Rouge, like

the Water Institute of the Gulf .

The Baton Rouge-based group focuses on researching different is-sues of Gulf water and informs those planning landscape of their fi nd-ings, he said.

“The Water Institute is a hub that innovates other opportunities and

partners with academia ,” Peebles said.

Coastal environmental science senior Kristina Sebastian said al-though she did not submit a poster, she attended the event out of inter-est.

“It’s to create awareness about the wetlands and how important they are and how there is a need for restoration ,” Sebastian said.

Fishing gear lost at sea will be wrangled to shore with help from the University during up-coming derelict crab trap rodeos.

Julie Anderson , renewable natural resources professor and fi sheries specialist , said the ro-deos are daylong cleanup events during which volunteers remove derelict crab traps from coastal waters . The lost traps pose safe-ty and environmental threats, as well as economic losses for fi sh-ermen, she said.

“[Traps] are relatively ex-pensive,” Anderson said. “Most fi shermen don’t want to leave their gear out there, but storms, boats passing that cut buoy lines—things like that all result in lost traps.”

Anderson said about 3,000 derelict traps — or enough to fi ll eight dumpsters — were

collected over the course of three rodeos last year . More may be re-moved this year thanks to Hurri-cane Isaac and a new database the University’s School of Renew-able Natural Resources manages that fi shermen use to report lost traps , she said.

“Over 3,000 traps have been reported lost just due to Isaac, and we know that’s from only a handful of fi shermen,” Anderson said.

Paula Ouder , editor of Loui-siana Sea Grant , said the crab trap rodeos coincide with Sea Grant’s mission to promote sustainable use of the coast and environment . The rodeos also benefi t fi shery businesses, she said.

“It’s fewer crabs they can bring in, and those traps are known to attract other species like turtles,” Ouder said.

Martin Bourgeois , marine

fi sheries biologist with the Loui-siana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries , said about 3,000 com-mercial and 4,000 recreational crab trap fi shermen are licensed in Louisiana. A commercial fi sh-erman may have up to 200 traps, he said, meaning there are plenty of traps with the potential of get-ting lost.

Besides creating bad aesthet-ics , derelict equipment presents hazards to crabs that wander into lost traps and are never brought to shore , Bourgeois said. They also harm shrimpers when their nets pick up stray traps, he said.

“Getting a trap can cost them a great deal of their catch and the down time it takes to get it out,” Bourgeois said.

Bourgeois said the rodeos are scheduled during the winter when crabs are sluggish because of cooler water temperatures .

Also, lower tides make derelict traps more visible and easier to remove , he said.

The cleanup efforts began in 2002 as a project of Wildlife and Fisheries , Anderson said. The volunteer base dwindled within a few years, though, she said.

Anderson received a grant from the National Fish and Wild-life Foundation in 2012 to part-ner with the state to revitalize the project . With the funds, the cleanups were redesigned as ro-deos and made into festive events featuring door prizes and food, she said.

Anderson said the rodeos are the result of a large partner-ship between the University,

Louisiana Sea Grant and Wildlife and Fisheries . Volunteers include University students and faculty as well as members of organiza-tions such as the Coastal Conser-vation Association , she said.

The fi rst rodeo took place Saturday . Two more are sched-uled for Feb. 23 in East Point à la Hache, La., and March 9 in Hopedale, La.

An oak tree, recently under protection as part of the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree Campus USA program, stands Feb. 14 in the Quad.

ENVIRONMENT

LSU trees protected through new title

The Arbor Day Foundation has named LSU a 2012 Tree Cam-pus USA University, a designation recognizing the value of the Uni-versity’s trees and the benefits they provide, said Fred Fellner, assistant director of Landscape Services.

Tree Campus USA is a national program created by the Arbor Day Foundation in 2008 with the goal of honoring colleges for successful cam-pus tree manage-ment and for en-gaging the student body and staff in conservation ob-jectives, according to an LSU Media Relations news re-lease.

The Tree Campus USA title will help the University better manage its urban forest, Fellner said.

The University needed to obtain this designation to get the wheels turning on forming a committee re-sponsible for discussing the planting and removal of trees, how to prop-erly care for the campus’ trees and how these trees fit into the Univer-sity’s master plan, Fellner said.

“It is like establishing a really good maintenance procedure for your vehicle,” Fellner said.

Fellner said being a Tree Cam-pus USA designee also provides an opportunity to in-stitute a consistent source of funding to care for the trees.

“It helps us to let the manage-ment structure and the administrative structure know that we need to be spending money on trees — and we do, but it codifies it a little bit bet-ter,” Fellner said.

Fellner said his inspiration to make the University a Tree Cam-pus USA came through the council of Gary Keever, professor in the Department of Horticulture and the graduate program coordinator for Auburn University’s College

of Agriculture.Keever took care of Auburn’s

famous Toomer’s Corner Oaks when they were poisoned shortly after Au-burn won the BCS National Cham-pionship in 2011. Auburn’s poisoned oaks will be removed this month.

At the time of the poisoning incident, Fellner said he and the ad-ministration grew concerned that the same thing could happen to LSU’s own majestic oaks. Fellner said Keever told him that the first step toward helping LSU avoid the same issue is to establish the University

as a Tree Campus USA.

This title is achieved by meet-ing the five criteria established by the Arbor Day Foun-dation: setting up a campus tree ad-visory committee, developing a cam-pus tree care plan, planning a campus tree program with dedicated annual expenditures, ob-serving Arbor Day

and planning a service learning proj-ect to support the Tree Campus USA initiative.

The Arbor Day Foundation and Tree Campus USA sponsor, Toyota, invested $23 million in campus for-est management in 2012, according to the Arbor Day Foundation web-site.

“Participating in Tree Campus USA sets a fine example for other colleges and universities, while helping to create a healthier planet for all of us,” said John Rosenow,

founder and chief executive of the Arbor Day Founda-tion.

Some schools in the SEC that received the 2011 Tree Campus USA designation include Auburn University, University of Geor-gia, Texas A&M

University, Louisiana State Univer-sity at Alexandria, Northwestern State University of Louisiana, Tu-lane University and the University of Louisiana Lafayette.

Five University students are hoping to end bullying, and they are making their case through a national public relations competition.

Manship School students Jac-quelyn Duhon, Chelsea Moreau, Catherine Parsiola, Remy Plas and Camille Walther created the To Be Honest campaign, an anti-bullying initiative named after the social media game of the same name. The campaign is part of the Public Rela-tions Student Society of America’s Bateman Case Study Competition.

The contest includes partici-pants from universities across the country, all of whom must create public relations campaigns targeting a specific issue.

Teams selected by the PRSSA national panel gain recognition from major PR firms, and strategic communications professor Jensen Moore-Copple said Bateman stu-dents usually go on to impressive internships or jobs.

According to the campaign’s website, “This game has become an excuse for kids to cyberbully one an-other. The To Be Honest campaign challenges kids to rethink the game.”

While the campaign primarily focuses on combating cyberbullying via social media, the team has also partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge and BREC to spread their message.

Walther Bateman, team mem-ber and public relations senior, said they decided to target Baton Rouge middle school students because they believe that age group is where most bullying occurs.

“[Middle school students] are not legally allowed ’til the age of 13 to get onto social media, so we’re hoping we can get their older sib-lings and parents and have them share that information with them,” Walther said.

The team has created educa-tional materials about bullying pre-vention and has presented them to students at local middle schools.

BREC Director of Communica-tion Cheryl Michelet said the orga-nization did not hesitate when the Bateman team contacted them about a partnership because of the issue’s relevance.

“It’s a good message, it’s a timely message, it’s an important message and our kids need to hear it,” Michelet said.

Michelet said BREC has dis-cussed making the team’s education-al materials available at the organi-zation’s spring and summer camps, which she said around 10,000 chil-dren participated in last year.

Carlos Daniels, director of pro-gram operations for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge, said they are planning to use the team’s program one or two days per week during their after-school pro-gram. He said the campaign falls in

line with the Boys and Girls Club’s mission to make kids more respon-sible and caring citizens.

All five Bateman Team students are in Moore-Copple’s public rela-tions campaigns class.

Moore-Copple said this year, there were about 10-15 applicants for the University’s Bateman team, and the entire public relations facul-ty convened to choose who would be the best fit for the competition.

Walther said in the past, a pro-fessor would assign chosen appli-cants individual jobs for the team. This year, Walther said there are no specific jobs and the duties have fallen into place based on each mem-ber’s personality.

“I didn’t want them to be con-stricted by job titles,” Moore-Copple said. “I wanted them to all consider themselves as equals.”

Plas said the competition rules state each campaign must run from Feb. 1 to Feb. 28, and all of their so-cial media and online materials must be gone or inactive by midnight on the 28th.

After the 28th, Moore-Copple said the team will hand over its ma-terials to BREC and the Boys and Girls Club and will be unable to do any more work on the campaign.

has ranked 102nd on average since 2010 and Cameron running his course in the NFL after 11-straight pro seasons.

Though Cameron faced play-calling gripes in Baltimore and San Diego, there’s no denying his pedi-gree.

In 11 seasons, offenses under his direction finished outside of the NFL’s top half only twice to go along with seven playoff appear-ances.

Cameron took over Balti-more’s perennially putrid offense in 2008 and transformed it into a con-sistent threat. However, Baltimore fired him after Week 14, just seven weeks before its Super Bowl title.

Even though he was fired from his last two NFL jobs, his offenses averaged 24 points per game and he was a key mentor for four different Pro Bowl quarterbacks, including Super Bowl winners Drew Brees and Joe Flacco.

“There was a time or two where we would butt heads,” Brees said in his 2010 autobiography. “But I think that was all part of the process of him trying to mold me into the type of quarterback, person and leader he knew I could be, and I appreciate him for that.”

Butting heads was a focal point of Cameron’s introductory news conference Friday, as both Cam-eron and Miles acknowledged that the two friends will have to limit any play-calling discrepancies.

“Brothers fight like broth-ers sometimes,” Cameron said. “But we all know what is the most

important thing – the team and the University.”

So how does Cameron’s of-fense mesh with LSU’s personnel and Miles’ style? On paper, it’s a good fit.

Cameron’s base tactics owe heavily to the Air Coryell style, which combines a vertical passing attack — aided by tight ends and running backs on short routes and helmed by a strong-armed pocket quarterback — with a tight, power running game.

That’s a small but significant deviation from the 2012 offense run by senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who Cameron said is a “strong thrower” for any offense.

In almost every pass route Cameron employs, two receivers run mid-range to deep routes in an attempt to strike a big play or open up underneath runs or checkdowns.

Two speedy receivers are nec-essary for those routes, and LSU has two juniors, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, who are prime candidates for those roles.

But like most offenses, Cam-eron’s requires versatile line play first. There, LSU returns six play-ers with starting experience that average a bruising weight of 323 pounds.

Tight end is the only real ques-tion mark for Cameron’s philosphy, with the Tigers returning no starters from last year at the position.

is no impact being made,” Howell said.

Student safety, protecting the University from potential budget cuts and improving the academic environment on campus are areas in which Howell and Torké hope to improve if they are elected.

Howell said he has been in-volved in SG at the University for the last two years and gained SG experience at the University of Ten-nessee during his freshman year.

“Having an outside perspec-tive, as well as the knowledge of how things work at LSU — what has failed in the past, what isn’t currently working — makes Kaitlin and I a unique choice between the two tickets on the ballot this year,” Howell said.

Howell and Torké said they be-lieve the primary goal of SG is to serve and advocate for students and the University.

“We feel that SG is a true advo-cate of the student body as well as the University as a whole,” Howell said. “That is why we will also ef-fectively seek the student position on the LSU Board of Supervisors.”

The student position on the

Board of Supervisors is a position chosen from the different student body presidents in the LSU System.

One thing Howell and Torké said they are determined to im-prove is communication.

“We need to hear the voices of the 30,000 students on this campus, not just the voices of those in Stu-dent Government,” Torké said.

If elected, Howell and Torké said they will confront the issues of disorganization and transparency within SG.

“The biggest thing that needs to happen in Student Government is an increase in transparency,” Torké said. “We are thinking of implementing a press briefi ng or monthly newsletter so the average student will know what is happen-ing every week and every month.”

Howell and Torké will make their offi cial announcement at 11:30 a.m. today in the “echo cir-cle” of Free Speech Plaza .

Voting in the general election will open at 7 a.m. on March 11 and close at 6:59 p.m. on March 12.

movement to fl ow to music.This summer, Erickson will

spend almost a month in Russia re-hearsing the movement and fl ow of the performance.

“Nick Erickson’ s invitation to join the creative team for the Open-ing Ceremonies at the 2014 Soshi Olympic Winter Games is another indicator of the international reach of our talented faculty in the Depart-ment of Theatre and College of Mu-sic and Dramatic Arts ,” said Dean of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts Laurence Kaptain . “The last winter games in Vancouver had an estimated audience of over one bil-lion for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games .”

The nearly 300 performers in the opening ceremonies are almost entirely native volunteers, and the rest are hired specialists in music, dance and acrobatics. Although the creative teams design and imple-ment the ceremony, the native coun-try has ultimate control over the di-rection.

Erickson specializes in stage combat and came to the University in 2001 , choreographing the combat for all performances put on by the theatre department and Swine Pal-ace . He has been certifi ed by the So-ciety of American Fight Directors as an actor combatant, specializing in unarmed and rapier dagger combat.

With a range of specialties, including tai chi and aerial silk , Er-ickson considers himself “atypical” when it comes to movement special-ization.

“As a professor, I teach classes specialized for actors, but my pro-fessional job is how to make move-ment exceptional and tell a story,” Erickson said.

As a part of the theatre pro-gram, Erickson was hired to train people in the MFA acting program, which is highly competitive and has some of the best actors in the coun-try, Erickson said.

“This just shows the kind of people we have working for this school,” said theatre junior Matthew Reed . “It’s amazing that I’m able to learn from someone who does pro-fessional work for big things like the Olympics .”

Erickson is a founding mem-ber of the internationally renowned modern acrobatic dance company, Diavolo Dance Theater , along with founder and Artistic Director Jacques Heim .

Heim’s work for Diavolo has attracted the attention of FiveCur-rents , an even larger company that works with the International Olym-pic Committee . FiveCurrents does choreography for large-scale events, including previous opening ceremo-nies as well as the Disneyland 50th Anniversary and Super Bowl Satur-day , to name a few.

“Nick Erickson now joins our alumni, faculty and students who win international awards, star on Broadway in fi lm and video, grace the stages of leading opera houses, compose music and design for the theatre,” Kaptain said. “We are proud to have such notable fac-ulty who attract, train and further the careers of our talented students at LSU.”

Hindered by stifling wind but bolstered by strong pitching, LSU’s bats only mustered 15 hits as the Tigers trudged through two victories against Maryland to open the weekend series.

As the wind changed direc-tion on Sunday, so did the script.

Home runs from juniors Ty Ross and JaCoby Jones, along with an eight-run seventh in-ning, propelled an offensive out-burst as the No. 10 Tigers (3-0) blew by the visiting Terrapins (0-3) 14-3 on a blustery day in Alex Box Stadium.

“The first two nights were re-ally hard on the hitters,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “Today, the wind shifted. … The nerves were gone, and it was a much more nor-mal environment. I think the kids

felt great up there at the plate.”After Maryland showcased

stout pitching and mistake-free defense for two games, Sunday had neither as seven Terrapin pitchers combined to surrender 14 hits coupled with head-scratching defensive plays.

Jones opened the scoring in the second inning, lifting Terrapin starter Alex Robinson’s 3-1 fast-ball over the left field wall for the first LSU long ball of the season.

“I was being patient at the plate,” Jones said. “I was zoning in on that [fastball], and that’s what he threw me. I got a hold of it pretty good.”

The Tigers added another run in the third when freshman shortstop Alex Bregman drilled the first of his three singles on the day, scoring sophomore center fielder Chris Sciambra who reached on a four-pitch walk.

The Terps fired right back with two runs of their own in the fourth, touching up LSU senior starter Brent Bonvillain for two straight singles to lead off the in-ning.

First baseman LaMonte Wade would follow with a sacri-fice fly to center and designated hitter Jose Cuas drove home left fielder Matt Bosse on a can of corn popup that Jones lost in the sun.

In his first career start, Bon-villain held the Terps in check, scattering only four hits over his four innings of work, while wig-gling out of some jams along the way.

“It wasn’t too shabby,” Bonvillain said. “My fastball and changeup was there. We kind of stuck to that for the first three

LSU announced Cam Cameron as its fourth offensive coordinator in as many years on Friday in a news confer-ence at the University’s Athletic Administration Building.

Cameron, who agreed to a three-year deal with un-disclosed terms, will try to improve what has been a rela-tively weak offense for the past few seasons.

“We’ve been pretty good,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “... With that being said, good is not good enough. We want to be a great team.”

Cameron brings 29 years of coaching experience to LSU, split between 15 years at the college level and 14 in the NFL. He also played football and basketball under Hall of Fame coaches Lee Corso and Bobby Knight, re-spectively, at his alma mater, Indiana University.

Times, they aren’t a-changin.Most LSU fans have con-

vinced themselves new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will ride into Baton Rouge like a knight in shining armor and remodel the Tigers’ offensive identity.

Not going to happen.The Tiger faithful are go-

ing crazy about Cameron simply because he isn’t former offen-sive play-callers Greg Studrawa or Gary Crowton. Don’t get me wrong, LSU needed a new offen-sive coordinator.

Studrawa wasn’t hired to run the offense — Steve Kragthorpe was. But sadly, Kragthorpe was di-agnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Studrawa had to fill in weeks before the 2011 season started.

The LSU offense required a leader with whom coach Les Miles wasn’t buddy-buddy. It needed someone like defensive coordina-tor John Chavis, who had no previ-ous connection to Miles before he was hired at LSU in 2009.

Chavis wasn’t afraid to say, “This is my defense, and this is how I’m going to run it.”

The LSU women’s basketball team improved to .500 in Southeast-ern Conference play Sunday when they handily defeated Mississippi State 63-41 in Humphrey Coliseum .

The Lady Tigers (15-10, 6-6 SEC ) earned the victory against Mississippi State (11-14, 3-9 SEC ) primarily with a dominant second-half performance in which they out-scored the Bulldogs 35-16 .

“It started with our defense,” LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said in a post-game radio interview. “… Once we really settled into what we needed to do on the defensive end, we really got our game plan in ac-tion.”

LSU led by as many as eight points in the fi rst half. After con-verting only one fi eld goal in the fi nal 10 minutes of the period, the Lady Tigers headed to the locker room with a narrow 28-25 lead.

The Lady Tigers began to fi nd their rhythm again in the second half, and after going on an 18-4 run to take a 48-31 lead , they never looked back.

LSU junior forward The-resa Plaisance and senior guard Adrienne Webb led the run and

fi nished the game with 14 and 16 points , respectively. Plaisance also picked up seven boards and three blocks .

LSU freshman guard Dani-elle Ballard looked as dominant as she did early in the season, shoot-ing 7-for-9 from the fl oor to lead the Lady Tigers with a game-high 19 points , four steals and seven re-bounds .

“We needed Danielle to really step up and show-case the quality of player that she is for us, and she did,” Caldwell said. “But more importantly, she also did a great job on the defensive end.”

Caldwell also praised freshman guard Anne Pedersen who contrib-uted with four points and a steal off the bench.

The Lady Tigers were able to make Mississippi State sophomore forward Martha Alwal the SEC’s leading rebounder and No. 2 block-er a virtual non-factor.

Alwal , who posted double-doubles in four of Mississippi State’s previous fi ve games , was held scoreless for the fi rst time this season and limited to a single block and rebound in 19 minutes of play .

Caldwell gave most of the

credit for shutting down Alwal to junior forward Shanece McKinney , who fi nished the game with fi ve points, four rebounds and a career-high fi ve blocks .

“Shanece McKinney really set the tone for us with her low post

defense,” Caldwell said. “Alwal is a great player who has been instru-mental in Missis-sippi State’s wins, but tonight McKin-ney just stepped up to the challenge.”

M i s s i s s i p p i State was instead led by sophomore forward Carnecia Williams who post-ed a team-high 13 points, three steals

and a game-high eight rebounds .LSU is now No. 7 in the SEC ,

and with fi ve games remaining in the regular season, time is running out for it to improve that position.

The Lady Tigers’ next chal-lenge will come at 8 p.m. Thursday when they head to Columbia, Mo. , to take on their new conference rival Missouri (15-10, 4-7 SEC) for the fi rst time since it joining the SEC.

The recently scorching bats fi nally cooled off for the No. 10 LSU softball team in its 1-0 win against Nicholls State on Sunday night as the Tigers completed a fi ve-win sweep of the competition at the Purple and Gold Challenge.

The weekend’s previous four matchups were an offensive exhi-bition for the Tigers who crossed the plate a combined 25 times Fri-day and Saturday.

LSU coach Beth Torina said the drop-off in offensive produc-tion came from a low ball style of pitcher her team wasn’t as prepared for after four games of pitchers throwing high in the strike zone.

“When we have to prepare for fi ve different opponents, it’s hard to get a specifi c focus,” Torina said. “We’ve defi nitely got to fi g-ure out how to make adjustments a little better. We’ve got to be able to make the adjustment from up in the zone to down in the zone.”

Before Sunday night, LSU put four balls over the fence at the Purple and Gold Challenge to bring the total to eight in the past fi ve days including the team’s trip to Ole Miss earlier in the week during which the Tigers hit four long balls in one game. LSU hit only 13 home runs in all of 2012.

Two Tigers — senior Katie Guillory and freshman Bianka Bell — hit their fi rst career home runs this weekend against North Dakota State and Virginia, respec-tively, with Bell hitting another

home run in the team’s second game against Virginia on Satur-day.

Despite the drop in offensive production against Nicholls, the Tigers continued to dominate the start of games, outscoring oppo-nents 18-0 in the fi rst inning. Sun-day night was no different as ju-nior Tammy Wray hit the eventual game-winning RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the fi rst.

“Batting behind Bianka and Falcon, it’s such a strong 1-2-3 right there,” Wray said. “I’m so confi dent that they’re going to get on [base] that it makes my job so much easier. You’re just so confi -dent that they’re going to get on and you’re going to do your job and get them in.”

The Tigers relied on solid pitching all weekend from senior Rachele Fico and junior Meghan Patterson who combined for 32 strikeouts in fi ve games — includ-ing Patterson’s eight retirements against Nicholls State.

“Luckily we got a great pitch-ing performance out of Meghan Patterson today,” Torina said. “She’s been so solid lately that coming out and getting the fi nal win today at this tournament is fi t-ting. … Of course we want more out of our offense, but we’ll take our fi ve wins this weekend.”

The LSU men’s golf team will tee off the spring season today when it begins play at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate in Alabama .

This is the fi rst time LSU has played at the Magnolia Grove Crossings Golf Course and LSU coach Chuck Winstead said his team is unfamiliar with the course.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Win-stead said. “Playing a course they don’t know will be good for the guys. It’s early, and we need to fi nd where we stand relative to our competition.”

The course will play host to the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic in May .

“I heard the course is nar-row, and that is about all I know,” said LSU junior Andrew Presley . “That should fi t our team pretty well because we all hit the ball straight.”

The Tigers ended the fall season winning two of their fi nal three tournaments — the Shoal Creek Intercollegiate in Septem-ber and the David Toms Intercol-legiate in October .

Winstead said he liked where the Tigers were heading into the break but felt his team has strug-gled to fi nd consistency so far this spring.

“I wish we looked a little bet-ter,” Winstead said. “We have had some good scores in practice, but it has been sporadic and not al-ways by the same people. I think getting back into the tournament mode will help that though.”

Behind Presley , the Tigers’ lineup will consist of junior Smy-lie Kaufman along with sopho-mores Curtis Thompson , Stewart Jolly and Myles Lewis .

“I’m defi nitely excited,” Pre-sley said. “It’s been a long time since we played. The fall sea-son ended pretty well, so I think we’re all pretty ready to start the spring.”

Presley ended the fall on a hot streak. After getting off to a slow start, the junior fi nished with an individual win at the Da-vid Toms Intercollegiate and a No. 9 fi nish at the Isleworth Col-legiate Invitational .

Thompson and Jolly also claimed an individual title for the Tigers as the two co-medaled at Shoal Creek .

The 16-team fi eld this week will include Southeastern Con-ference opponents Auburn , Vanderbilt , Kentucky and Mis-sissippi State along with the de-fending champions from Middle Tennessee State .

The tournament will con-clude Tuesday .

Morrison earns � rst career perfect 10

Junior all-around Sarie Mor-rison vaulted for the fi rst perfect 10 of her career Friday night as the No. 7 LSU gymnastics team defeated No. 20 Arkansas 196.825-195.625 in the PMAC.

Morrison captured her eighth and ninth in-dividual titles of the sea-son, tallying a 9.90 on uneven bars to go with her perfect score and individual title on vault. Morrison did her part in helping the Tigers (8-2, 4-1 Southeastern Con-ference) secure all but one individual title, wtih Arkansas freshman all-around Sydnie Dillard claiming beam with a 9.850.

“I think [Morrison’s perfect 10] was very deserved,” said LSU coach D-D Breaux. “… That vault was just so dynamic and so high, and it’s so stretched out. Her lines were so perfect. When she stuck it, I think it was pretty inevitable that it would be a 10.”

Morrison’s perfect mark comes a week after sophomore all-around Lloimincia Hall pulled

off a fl awless fl oor routine at Missouri. Prior to Hall’s perfor-mance last week, no LSU gym-nast had boasted a perfect routine since 2009.

Sophomore all-around Rhea-gan Courville brought home her fi fth all-around title of 2013 with a 39.525, and junior all-around Kaleigh Dickson came in second with a 39.250.

Hall dazzled on fl oor once again with a high-energy routine that garnered a 9.950 from the

judges.The Tigers domi-

nated their routines early and often, as they posted 11 scores of 9.850 or better. LSU outscored Arkansas (1-5, 0-5 SEC) on every routine except beam, and the Razor-backs were never within six-tenths of a point of the LSU lead.

Friday’s meet brought an end to a monthlong road trip for

the Tigers, and Breaux said she thought the home crowd had a positive effect on her gymnasts.

“They put a lot of energy into their performances tonight,” Breaux said.

exact opposite. If I could tell any-thing from his introductory news conference, he’s looking for even more help from Miles when it comes to calling plays.

“There will be communica-tion, whether it’s four-down ter-ritory, or how the score or clock factors in,” Cameron said Friday. “That’s what we talked about and that is what we will do. I think that is why we are going to be success-ful.”

Notice how Cameron uses “we” instead of “I” throughout his response.

Miles and Cameron go way back. They shared the same of-fi ce at the University of Michigan , where they coached together for seven years from 1987 to 1993 .

The relationship between the two will make it even harder for Cameron to make this offense his own. One of the LSU fan base’s biggest gripes during the 2012 sea-son was Miles having too much input on the offensive game plan.

Get used to it.It sounds like Cameron isn’t

going to be taking the reins of the offense away from Miles . If

anything, he might let him be more involved than Studrawa or Crow-ton ever permitted.

“With our relationship and the way Les communicates, it will be very clear what our plan is,” Cam-eron said.

Was Cameron the most quali-fi ed candidate for the job? Or was LSU his landing spot because his old pal Miles reached out to him after the Super Bowl XLVII cham-pion Baltimore Ravens kicked him to the curb after Week 14 ?

Cameron got the boot because Ravens coach John Harbaugh got tired of watching his offense use running back check downs with one of the NFL’s biggest arms, Joe Flacco , at his disposal. Not to mention Cameron was replaced in Baltimore by Jim Caldwell , who helped the Ravens offense average 31 points in the postseason having never called plays before.

It sounds more like Miles’ text to Cameron after he got fi red prob-ably sounded like, “Hey buddy, you can come crash at LSU until you land on your feet.” No one wants to see a friend lose his job.

Chavis was an excellent hire because Miles knew he needed someone who had a proven track

record in the Southeastern Confer-ence . Cameron hasn’t coached at the college level since 2001 , when he was fi red from Indiana after posting an 18-37 record in fi ve sea-sons.

Some prominent players on LSU’s 2001 roster included Ro-han Davey , Josh Reed and Bradie James . Yeah, it’s been that long since Cameron paced a college sideline.

For Les , hiring Cameron is a win-win situation. He gets to bring in the offensive coordinator LSU fans have been begging for, and he can still help out a friend who was out of work.

The LSU offense will be slightly better under Cameron’s guidance. But will his presence drastically change LSU’s conser-vative offensive mindset with him having total control of the offense?

Not on Miles’ watch.

Micah Bedard is a 22-year-old history senior from Houma.

After suffering a couple of tough losses in California, the LSU women’s tennis team responded with a resounding 6-1 victory Satur-day against McNeese State Univer-sity.

Seniors Ebie Wilson and Keri Frankenberger got the Lady Tigers rolling, winning their doubles match 8-2. That win was soon followed by the duo of senior Kaitlin Burns and freshman Ella Taylor clinching the doubles point with a 8-6 victory.

The Lady Tigers kept rolling in singles play as they won the fi rst set in fi ve of the six matches. Wilson

quickly extended the LSU lead to 2-0, winning her match 6-0, 6-0.

After junior Ariel Morton beat her opponent 6-1, 6-0, Burns clinched the match with her 6-2, 6-0 victory.

Freshman Caroline Hudson also brought home a point with a 6-3, 6-2 win. Taylor fi nished off the scoring for LSU with a 6-1, 6-1 victory.

With fi ve comfortable wins under their belts, the Lady Tigers turned their focus to court 1, where sophomore Mary Jeremiah was locked in a tough match with Klau-dia Gawlik.

After dropping the fi rst set 3-6, Jeremiah battled back to even the score, winning the second 6-4.

Despite clawing back into the match, she fell in the third set super tie break 6-10, bringing the match to a fi nal 6-1 score.

“Our singles today was the best job we have done all year as far as our focus and intensity,” coach Julia Sell said in a news release. “We worked on our accountabil-ity all week in practice, and it re-ally showed today. I’m excited by today’s effort and look forward to building on our progress.”

The Lady Tigers’ next action will be when they travel to Rice at 1 p.m. on Feb. 20.

innings.”Knotted at two apiece, Ross

broke the game open in the bot-tom half of the fourth with a three-run home run to left-center fi eld.

“He threw me a good fast-ball,” Ross said. “I was just trying to look to put something in the air to get the run. It ended up getting out of here.”

Junior righty Nate Fury came on in relief of Bonvillain for the fi fth, pitching a perfect inning and picking up his fi rst win as a Tiger.

For the former Tulane player and Delgado Community College transfer who recovered from a torn ACL last season, the moment was part of his lifelong dream.

“It’s awesome,” Fury said. “It’s good to get a win, regardless. I’m not really in here to try to get as many wins as I can get, but it’s a good feeling.”

After tacking on another run in the fi fth on Katz’s fi rst hit and RBI of the season, the Ti-gers opened it up in the seventh, sending 12 batters to the plate as the wheels fell off for Maryland.

Bregman, senior outfi elder

Raph Rhymes, Jones and sopho-more designated hitter Tyler Moore all singled to open the fl oodgates, with all four scoring to begin the onslaught and let Mainieri empty his bench.

Junior third baseman Chris-tian Ibarra highlighted the mas-sacre with a two-RBI double, good for his fi rst extra-base hit as a Tiger. Freshman outfi elder An-drew Stevenson also notched his fi rst RBI as a Tiger on an infi eld single, pinch hitting for Rhymes.

In a game during which ev-ery position player saw action and six different Tigers threw a pitch, Mainieri said he was pleased with the team effort in advance of a strenuous stretch of four games in six days.

“We’re going to need a lot of players,” Mainieri said. “Dur-ing the course of the year, guys get nicked up. You don’t want to have a drop off coming to the next guy.”

After spending the last 11 years in the NFL , Cameron said he is excited to return to the col-lege level, and even more so to be at LSU.

“I have seen every LSU foot-ball game for the last eight years,” Cameron said. “I can’t tell you how honored and thrilled I am to be a part of this program.”

LSU fans are hoping Cam-eron is the piece of the puzzle the Tigers have been missing in their past few seasons.

The Tigers fi nished the 2012 season averaging 374.2 yards of total offense (No. 87 in the Foot-ball Bowl Subdivision , No. 10 in the Southeastern Conference ) and 200.5 yards passing (No. 94 in the FBS , No. 11 in the SEC ).

Rather than revamp LSU’s entire offensive scheme, Camer-on plans to take an open-minded approach to allow him to build on what he considers “a great foun-dation.”

“I want these men to teach me why they have been so suc-cessful so far and how I can help build from where we are,” Cam-eron said.

Cameron has played a role in molding quarterbacks such as Drew Brees , Philip Rivers and, most recently, Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco .

This experience has the Ti-gers hopeful that quarterback Zach Mettenberger might reach his full potential in his senior sea-son with Cameron’s aid.

“Figuring out what [Metten-berger] likes most is one of the fi rst things we are doing in this system,” Cameron said. “... We are going to test every limit he has and see all he can do. We are just building on what we are do-ing.”

Cameron replaces Greg Stu-drawa , who manned the post for the last two seasons after Steve Kragthorpe unexpectedly an-nounced his diagnosis of Parkin-son’s disease four months after being hired for the position in January 2011.

Studrawa will return to his original spot on the staff as the offensive line coach, and quar-terbacks coach Kragthorpe will move from quarterbacks coach to an off-fi eld administrative role.

Miles immediately struck down the perception that Stu-drawa’s replacement could create tension within the staff. He said Studrawa himself suggested the move so he could focus complete-ly on the offensive line.

“[Studrawa] said that maybe it would be best if somebody else called the plays,” Miles said.

Cameron and Miles have a history dating back to 1987 when they coached together at Michigan under legendary coach Bo Schembechler . They became close friends, and Cameron was a groomsman in Miles’ wedding in 1993 .

Miles said as soon as he heard Cameron had been fi red from his position as the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator , it was an easy decision to target him as the next man to run LSU’s of-fense. Miles added that the two have been looking for the oppor-tunity to work together for more

than a decade .“I sent [Cameron ] a text im-

mediately, which would not be uncommon anyway because of our relationship,” Miles said. “It fell together exactly right. How it came together benefi ted us.”

Both coaches brushed off the

idea that working together could lead to a strain in the relationship and negative effects on the fi eld.

Miles said disagreements within the staff are necessary for success because they lead to a more unifi ed understanding of the program’s goals.

After almost 20 years coach-ing separate programs, both coaches are eager to get back in the trenches together.

“Going to war with a guy you’ve been in the foxhole with before, you feel comfortable with his calls and how he thinks,”

Miles said. “I am looking forward to it very much.”HIRE, from page 9

Stats deceive, Republicans will make a comeback

THE PICKUP PERSPECTIVEJOHN PARKER FORD Columnist

Today is Presidents Day, the day we celebrate George Wash-ington’s birthday — and appar-ently all other past presidents.

But screw all the other presi-dents, for they’ve got nothing on ol’ George.

In honor of Washington — who may have also been either a ninja or wizard — I have decided to celebrate his birthday.

But first, let me clarify some-thing. This is more about what happened to Washington than what Washington did.

By most accounts, Wash-ington was a pretty bad general, which makes his accomplish-ments all the more impressive.

Earlier in his career and be-fore the revolution, Washington was what Dwight Schrute might call an “Assistant British Gener-al.” He was actually an assistant to that general (as in secretary who also fetched the rum), but no one’s counting.

One day during the French and Indian War, the British

decided to surprise the Native Americans with an ambush.

During that battle, Washing-ton — assistant to the general, remember — decided to hop on a horse and join the fracas after his general was killed, taking com-mand himself.

Small problem — his horse was immediately shot out from under him.

“No biggie,” Washington thought.

He quickly recovered from the fall, spotted a vacant horse, shouted, “Dibs!” and ran toward it. He then mounted the beast and resumed his organizational ef-forts of the troops.

And then his horse — yep, his second horse — was shot out from under him.

George Washington’s badas-sery could have ended there that day, but it didn’t.

In an action that would have gotten him a nasty letter from PETA today, he hopped on a third horse and resumed leading the troops.

Luckily for the horse, Wash-ington was fine for the rest of the battle. When he got off his steed at the end of the day, he looked down at himself.

He had four bullet holes in

his coat and none in his body.George Washington was

pretty much Neo from “The Ma-trix.” He was The One.

There are other accounts of stories like this in which Wash-ington essentially rode circles around bullets.

For example, during the Rev-olutionary War, Washington, who was commanding the American forces, arrived late to a battle be-tween his troops and the British.

If you’ve seen any movies about the revolution, you’ll know common practice was to form a straight, horizontal line and fire at each other.

Upon arrival to the battle, Washington reformed his army’s line and told them to hold their fire. He then rode his poor, poor horse between both armies and ordered his troops to fire.

Just visualize that scene in your head for a moment — I’ll wait.

After surviving — and at this point, that’s kind of expected — the battle, he wrote a letter to his brother describing his time, say-ing, “I heard bullets whistle and, believe me, there is something charming to the sound of bullets.”

In addition to dodging bul-lets, Washington also frequently

made battle plans that heavily relied on weather or other condi-tions that should not occur.

One such plan called for a group of Washington’s troops to gather supplies and heavy gear from a fort 300 miles away from their current position, load them onto boats in a nearby river, sail down that river, then unload the boats and use snow sleds to bring the supplies back to base — all during the freezing winter.

This, of course, seems in-credibly difficult, but when you throw in the fact that the river needed to be unfrozen while there was snow on the ground makes it seem quite impossible.

You already know it worked anyway.

The river started freezing over while they unloaded the car-go after their trek down the river. Only then did it start snowing.

Remember, Washington spe-cifically ordered sleds to be used, so if it had not snowed, the mis-sion likely would have failed.

America is unlikely to ever have such a badass for a president again.

The trend seems to be mov-ing away from presidents with military experience, which is nei-ther good nor bad.

But it does kind of suck that we’ll never hear cool battlefield stories about our future presidents.

Happy birthday, George.

George Washington was a divinely assisted badass

RUN TO THE MILLSLANDON MILLS Columnist

Democrats who hold seats in traditionally red states are al-ready sweating the 2014 election season, and Louisiana is no ex-ception.

Not coincidentally, the most recent “push poll” declared Gov. Bobby Jindal’s approval rat-ing had “plunged more than 20 points” and followed Sen. Mary Landrieu who holds an apparent eight-point “likeability” lead, The Times-Picayune reported Monday.

Besides the comparison of a governor to a U.S. senator ap-proval poll along with other hy-pothetical matchups, the Public Policy Polling survey is designed to make Landrieu appear more

stable for re-election in 2014 than she actually is.

PPP’s survey may come as an encouragement to their demo-cratic base — until they look at how the Louisiana actually voted last November.

The 2012 voting spread was 58-41. This doesn’t bode well for Landrieu or any other “D” in this red state.

However, the translation from senatorial to presidential elective support isn’t perfect, but it is a good predictor of how the 2014 elections are likely to fall. Herein lies the flaw with PPP’s survey and media interpretation.

They oversample the left.Landrieu holds a seat in the

Senate without representing the majority of Louisiana voters and their values.

Of course, Landrieu’s strong political acumen and powerful family name will benefit her as she attempts to defend her seat.

But she is not nearly as favor-able as the left will try to present her to be in the coming election, and they will probably use tactics similar to those seen in 2010.

Tactics are as follows: Stay away from National Democrat ideology, mobilize a few special interests and highlight the ac-complishments that appear most favorable to the voter.

In 2014, there are 35 Senate elections, 14 defended by Repub-licans and 21 by Democrats.

“University of Virginia’s Center for Politics warns on Thursday in its latest breakdown of the 2014 Senate races that Sen-ate Democrats should be on high alert in seven states in which they hold seats,” The Washington Times reported Thursday.

Those states include Louisi-ana, South Dakota, West Virgin-ia, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa and North Carolina.

Sen. Joe Manchin, a

Democrat in West Virginia, se-cured his seat in a red state by openly criticizing President Obama early on in his campaign in order to secure independence from presidential unpopularity in red states.

Landrieu won’t be able to use this tactic because of her vot-ing record.

Sen. Landrieu voted with Obama 95 percent of the time in 2011, 98 percent of the time in 2010 and 97 percent of the time in 2009.

This is the same president who promised that nothing in his proposals would “raise the deficit by a single time” more than 12 times.

For the rest of the Obama ad-ministration, 2014 could be a bad year.

Many conservatives are concerned over liberal success regarding the stimulus package, immigration, healthcare reform,

recent immigration reform and military drawback in Afghani-stan.

But only needing a net gain of six seats to take back the chamber, conservatives may see significant change in the right wing’s effectiveness of the Sen-ate and the policy it supports in the future.

Benjamin Disraeli, the founder of the conservative party once said, “There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies and sta-tistics.”

As always, filter the media and watch the news.

RONALD PARKER / The Daily Reveille

OpinionMonday, February 18, 2013 page 17

Political posturing reached a state of frenzy Feb. 6 when the GOP-controlled House of Rep-resentatives passed a bill requir-ing President Obama to submit a budget that balances the govern-ment’s books.

While Republicans said the bill is designed to pressure the White House into dealing with our nation’s defi cit problems, Democrats called the legislation a political gimmick.

My fi rst impression after hearing this was it now seemed clear House Republicans had failed eighth grade civics class, as the United States Constitution delegates the responsibility of the budget to Congress, not the Presi-dent.

It’s called The Require a Plan Act.

“The Require a Plan Act is another common sense step to-wards getting Washington on the path to a balanced budget and giving American families the cer-tainty and transparency that they deserve,” said Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson.

On the surface, it seems logi-cal that our government — like any family — should live within its means. It is tempting to think

that if only we could come up with some clever budgetary solu-tion, fi scal prudence will follow.

Unfortunately, this is not the case, and this legislation won’t help solve our current fi scal di-lemma.

Implementing a balanced budget amendment would not only fail in its objective to

discipline government, but also impose potentially catastrophic side effects to our economy.

First, a balanced budget amendment would encourage elusion and distortion.

Most states have laws or constitutional provisions that favor a balanced budget, which has “driven a lot of activity into

independent authorities,” said former director of the Congres-sional Budget Offi ce Rudolph Penner in a statement before the House Budget Committee in 2011.

Essentially, states are able to “cook the books” and make it ap-pear as if they are complying with their balanced budget mandate.

Put in concrete terms, the U.S. has more than 30,000 inde-pendent agencies and off-budget accounts at the state and local level that are not subjected to a balanced budget requirement, ac-cording to the 2010 census.

So, if states use budget gim-micks and accounting tricks to evade their balanced budget re-quirements, what’s stopping the federal government from doing such a thing?

Perhaps the strongest argument against a balanced bud-get amendment is how it would force the government to worsen an economic slump.

During a recession, people get laid off. This causes both tax revenues to fall and incomes to decline.

Alternatively, government spending increases during a re-cession because of unemploy-ment insurance and other ben-efi ts.

These above-mentioned au-tomatic stabilizers can, in fact, turn budget surpluses into bud-get defi cits. A balanced bud-get amendment would force

Congress to raise taxes and cut spending, which would further prolong the recession.

To anyone other than a con-servative zealot, it is obvious this mechanism would inevitably make our economic downturns much worse.

Even most right-leaning economists will acknowledge the appropriate reaction to an eco-nomic slump is to allow the defi -cit to expand, fi rst by allowing the automatic stabilizers to kick in, then by lowering taxes or increas-ing spending to re-stimulate the economy.

OK, what conclusion can be draw from these insights?

The Require a Plan Act is the most convoluted method for go-ing about to reduce the budget defi cit — and it probably won’t even work.

House Republicans passed this bill strictly because it was advantageous to do so. It makes them look genuine. It makes them the party of common sense reform. It makes them the good guys.

They shouldn’t be taken seriously.
