LSU Police Department inves-tigators arrested a second student in connection with the attempted fi rst-degree murder charges against University stu-dent Nicole Boover .

Nathan An-drew Yuhas, 18, of 2065 Harts Lane in Con-shohocken, Pa., was arrested around 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 , fol-lowing LSUPD questioning that led the New Or-leans Police De-partment to issue an arrest warrant.

Yuhas , an environmental engineering stu-dent, was charged with principal to attempted fi rst degree murder, but LSUPD Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said no further informa-tion could be given at this time re-garding the reason for the charge.

Yuhas was with Boover on Oct. 8 when she arrived at her mother’s New Orleans residence around 4:30 a.m. Her mother opened the door to Boover point-ing a gun at her, and after her mother closed and locked the door, Boover fi red three shots.

Boover’s stepfather tipped off LSUPD that she was returning to campus a couple hours later, and she was arrested after police found her in her room at Evangeline Hall.

Court reports obtained by Nola.com say Boover attempted to kill her mother for inheritance money. Yuhas said during police interviews that Boover offered him $50,000 to help her.

The two bought gloves, duct tape and masks, planning to fl ee the state after murdering Boover’s mother and stepfather.

Jinjuta Jirawatjunya, a 25-year-old international student from Thailand and food science master’s stu-dent , was hit Wednesday evening by a white Buick Lucerne while in the crosswalk at the intersection of North Stadium Drive and Nicholson Drive .

Jirawatjunya’s friend, Adriana Soto , went with Jirawatjunya to the hospital and said she was

responsive and coher-ent Wednesday night.

“She’s fi ne, she’s conscious, she’s talk-ing and everything,” Soto said. “The doctor said she’s going to be fi ne, but we’re just waiting on the CAT scan results.”

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on the University of Texas at Austin’s use of racial preferences in a case brought against UT by LSU alum-na Abigail Fisher .

Fisher — who graduated from LSU in May — brought her lawsuit against UT in 2008 after she said she was denied admis-sion to the university for being white. All students, regardless of race, are admitted to Texas ’s pub-lic universities if they graduate in the top 10 percent of their high

school class.Fisher was not in that group

and was subjected to normal ad-mission standards, which includes race as part of universities’ right to affi rmative action, the ability of an institution to take race, sex and religion among other classifi ca-tions to ensure diversity.

With her lawsuit, the right of universities to use affi rmative action hangs in the balance of whether the Supreme Court will side with UT or Fisher .

Moscow court frees one of three Pussy Riot punk band members

MOSCOW (AP) — One jailed member of the punk band Pussy Riot unexpectedly walked free from a Moscow courtroom, but the other two now head toward a harsh punishment for their irreverent protest against President Vladimir Putin: a penal colony.

The split ruling by the appeals court Wednesday added further controversy to a case that has been seized upon in the West as a sym-bol of Putin’s intensifying crack-down on dissent.

All three women were con-victed in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and sentenced to two years in prison.South Africa’s review board OKs President Jacob Zuma painting

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s Film and Publication Board Wednesday declassified a painting showing the genitals of President Jacob Zuma.

The board’s spokesman, Prince Mlimandlela Ndamase, said that artist Brett Murray’s “The Spear” — which outraged support-ers of President Zuma when it was displayed early this year at Johan-nesburg’s Goodman Gallery — is no longer deemed offensive to public taste.

Pumpkin farmers have successful crop despite severe drought

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Farmers in a stretch of Illinois where most of the nation’s pumpkins are grown say their crop looks relatively smashing and is likely to be one of the few suc-cesses in a year when severe drought baked most of the nation’s heartland.

The drought forced thou-sands of ranchers to sell off cattle because pastures were too dry to graze, and corn and soybean farm-ers watched their plants wither in the summer sun. Three Idaho dairy workers charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Three former dairy workers with Idaho’s largest dairy operation have been charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty after undercover video shot by an animal rights group showed work-ers stomping, dragging and beating cows inside a milking barn.

The video was shot using a hid-den camera by a member of Mercy for Animals who got a job at Bet-tencourt Dairies’ Dry Creek Dairy in Hansen for a few weeks this summer.

It shows workers beating cows with a pink cane as the animals slipped and slid on the wet concrete floor and workers kicking and stomp-ing cows that have fallen between metal bars in the milking stalls.

(AP) — State transportation offi-cials say the White Castle ferry has resumed service.

The ferry had been out of ser-vice since June to allow crews to make repairs to the ferry’s propeller shaft. Service was expected to re-sume in mid-September but delays in acquiring a dry-dock at the ship yard, the discovery of additional necessary repairs to the propeller shaft, and Hurricane Isaac’s landfall caused the return-to-service date to be delayed.

The state Department of Trans-portation and Development said the ferry resumed service Wednesday and will operate its regular hours Monday through Friday.Lil Wayne’s skate park opening date delayed due to miscommunication

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The opening has been delayed for a New Orleans skate park launched by Lil Wayne and corporate sponsors.

Ward McLendon, who man-ages the Lower 9th Ward facility where the Trukstop skate park is lo-cated, said Wednesday there was a “misunderstanding” over when the park would open.

McLendon says the pub-lic will be able to use the park starting Oct. 27.

Spanish Red Cross launches first economic crisis fund campaign

MADRID (AP) — The Spanish Red Cross on Wednesday launched its first-ever campaign for donations to help Spaniards hit by economic cri-sis, in a sign of how needy this nation has become.

The Red Cross and other aid groups say soaring unemployment and government austerity measures are leaving tens of thousands of peo-ple in need of food and finances.

While the Spanish Red Cross does already help people in the coun-try, its fundraising has always been directed at helping poorer nations.

Wednesday’s campaign, “Now More than Ever,” aims to collect €30 million ($39 million) over two years to help an extra 300,000 people.

NASA contracted SpaceX Dragon capsule arrives at space station

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A private company successfully delivered a half-ton of supplies to the International Space Station early Wednesday, the first official ship-ment under a billion-dollar contract with NASA.

The SpaceX cargo ship, called Dragon, eased up to the orbiting lab, and station astronauts reached out with a robot arm and snared it. Then they firmly latched it down.

“Looks like we’ve tamed the Dragon,” reported space station commander Sunita Williams.

White Castle Ferry resumes service, regular operating hours return

Free Speech Plaza was abuzz with LGBTQ students, allies and other spectators participating in National Coming Out Day celebra-tions Wednesday .

Spectrum Vice President of Administration Kameron Kilchrist, a biological engineering senior, said the event will continue today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for students whose class schedules did not per-mit them to attend Wednesday .

Spectrum welcomed passers-by to walk through a rainbow-col-ored door and announce what they were coming out as. Although stu-dents could announce their identity as an LGBTQ student, they were encouraged to describe themselves in any way they wanted.

“You don’t have to come out as LGBTQ! You could also come out as an ally, a human or however you’re feeling!” the event’s Face-book page stated.

Some students chose serious descriptions, while others took a humorous approach. One student announced himself as Batman. A few students came out silently.

After pass-ing through the rainbow door, participants could dip their hands in paint and leave a handprint on a banner. The hand-prints were different colors of the spectrum and, together, formed a rainbow.

“It’s coming out as whoever you are and being accepted,” said

Spectrum Vice President of Pro-gramming Ritu Roy . “We want to show LSU that we’re a safe space and that we’re here to accept ev-

erybody.”Roy said one

of the day’s big-gest successes was the overall respect and cooperation of different groups tabling in Free Speech Plaza.

“At least one person from every table came up, even Jesus Talks,” Roy said .

While the National Coming Out Day festivities were fun and entertaining to onlookers, the cel-ebration marked a transition in the

lives of many University students. “I’m out. To me, this repre-

sents being confi dent and honest about who I am,” said international studies senior Lillian Stewart .

Roy said events like National Coming Out Day make a differ-ence on campus because students can physically see support from the community.

Next fall there will be a new sorority active in the Panhellenic Council on the University’s campus.

Over this past summer , the Pan-hellenic Council voted to invite Al-pha Phi International Sorority to join the University. A few days later, Al-pha Phi accepted the invitation at its convention in Arizona , according to a June 28 news release.

Alpha Phi will have represen-tatives on campus throughout the year to get to know the campus and

prepare for colonization next fall . The sorority will participate in the fi rst round of recruitment as a meet-and-greet for potential members . It will host its own recruitment a month after formal recruitment, con-sisting of interviews and parties just like in formal recruitment , Director of Extension Kara Wilhite said in an email.

She said the Greek community is anticipating Alpha Phi to be able to participate in formal recruitment by 2014 .

Wilhite said the University’s Panhellenic Council Executive

Board has created an Alpha Phi Extension Team that will consist of two members from each Panhellenic sorority. The team members will be chosen by the end of the month .

Alpha Phi will take as many women as it believes meet its stan-dards . It’s looking for strong lead-ers and women who will work hard , Wilhite said.

According to the release, Alpha Phi ’s goal is to recruit around 263 members . This is an average chapter size .

In the release, Panhellenic Pres-ident Sara Winkler expressed her

excitement about the newest addition to the council.

“Our 11 sororities have been truly engaged in the process and were eager to not only learn more about Alpha Phi but also enthusiastic about what this will do for our Pan-hellenic and Greek community,” she said in the release.

According to its website, Alpha Phi is present on nearly 160 college campuses and has more than 200,000 members .

“Alpha Phi enhances and pro-motes each member’s develop-ment and learning by focusing on

sisterhood, service, scholarship, leadership, loyalty and character development,” the site read.

Reg Rats and fellow Tigerland-ers will have to hold off their possi-ble rejoicing until the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Council reconvenes Oct. 24.

The Council voted to defer the issue of bars selling alcohol on Sun-days and retail outlets selling before 11 a.m., until the full council comes together again in two weeks.

Councilwoman Alison Gary, who brought up the ordinance to extend Sunday hours, amended her bill during discussion so it now stipulates that retail could open at 6 a.m. on Sundays, while bars would have to wait until 11 a.m. to serve alcohol, like restaurants currently do.

The bill originally stated that Gary wanted bars to operate on Sunday like they do every other day of the week.

After various fi gures voiced strong opposition, Gary moved to amend the ordinance, and Council-man Ulysses Addison moved for the council to take a vote.

The original vote stood as fi ve for the ordinance versus six against, and the council decided to defer the vote until the next meeting.

At the Oct. 24 meeting, the council will also vote on an or-dinance, brought to the table by Councilman Addison, that would allow bars to stay open until 4 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Satur-days.

Currently, the law states bars must close at 2 a.m.

A chief concern about ex-tended hours came in the form of statistics presented by Bret Black-mon, who works with the Univer-sity to address substance abuse.

Blackmon said an increase in hours is associated with an increase in car crashes, DUIs and alcohol-related incidents, mostly with males under 21.

Blackmon also said this could be related to the increase in police coverage as a result of more pos-sible hours of crime.

Other strong opposition came from former Baker Mayor Pete He-ine, who said he approves of the right for people to drink, but the problem exists when, in the case

of this ordinance, laws extend the hours and they can drink too much.

Heine cited people who beat their wives as an example. They wouldn’t do this if they weren’t un-der the infl uence of too much alco-hol, Heine said.

“We swore we’d protect our constituents’ health, safety and wel-fare. Giving them extra hours to drink doesn’t help that,” said Heine.

Gary directly disagreed with this, saying it isn’t the government’s right to tell people there are certain hours at which they are not allowed to drink.

“It’s not my job to tell some-body else they can’t run their busi-ness,” Gary said.

Gary also addressed the reli-gious factor of Sundays, after con-stituent Pat Rusk read an email ex-change between them.

Rusk said in the email she asked Gary, “Are you a Christian? If so, how could you say you re-scind the Sunday blue laws?”

Rusk also appealed to the coun-cil, asking, “How about my right to attend church on Sunday without being hit by a drunk driver on a Sunday morning?”

Gary responded that her pro-posed change had to do with fair-ness for people and businesses.

“My Sunday is my Sunday, even if there is an open bar down the street,” Gary said.

Gary added that having her faith questioned was offensive.

“That’s what I privately do on a Sunday. We have that freedom in our country, thank God,” Gary said.

Councilman Rodney Bourgeois agreed with Gary, saying he won-dered why this ordinance hadn’t been called into question earlier.

Bourgeois is a restaurant own-er, which he said puts him in a dif-fi cult position.

“If I vote for this, I’ll make the preachers mad. If I vote against this, people will say I’m trying to stymie other businesses,” Bourgeois said.

Brian Baiamonte and David Remmetter, owners of Radio Bar, each spoke in favor of the new or-dinance.

Baiamonte said the ordinance would just put Sunday on equal footing with every other day of the week.

“I don’t know why we wouldn’t be able to open on a Sunday. We pay rent on a Sunday,” Remmetter said.

Baton Rouge area resident Slater McCoy showed the council a pie chart that illustrated the dif-ference of hours a retail business would be allowed to sell alcohol.

According to McCoy, the dif-ference is 3 percent. Businesses can sell alcohol for 80 percent of the week now, and under the new ordi-nance would be able to sell alcohol for 83 percent of the week.

When the council meets again

Oct. 24, it will discuss and vote on the issue again.

RICHARD REDMANN / The Daily Reveille

East Baton Rouge district 11 councilwoman Alison Gary [left] argues on Wednesday in City Hall for her proposed ordinance to repeal the blue laws in East Baton Rouge Parish. East Baton Rouge resident Slater McKay [right] demonstrates that the effect of the new alcohol ordinance would be minimal.

Tune in to 91.1 KLSU at 4:20 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. to hear more about the upcoming Alpha Phi LSU

chapter.

Young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to fi ght for invest-ments of $25,000 or more at the Ba-ton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week’s high-stakes pitch competition Nov. 15 .

The Greater Baton Rouge Busi-ness Report , Baton Rouge Area Chamber , SeNSE and Louisiana Technology Park are hosting the Whitney Bank-sponsored competi-tion . It will resemble the format of ABC’s “Shark Tank ,” a show fea-turing a panel of entrepreneurs and business executives who consider pitches from entrepreneurs seeking investments.

The application deadline for the competition is Friday, and although applicants don’t have to be currently located in Louisiana, they must be willing to relocate to the state if cho-sen to receive an investment.

“We’re trying to grow the entre-preneur environment in South Loui-siana ,” said Sean Simone, SeNSE chairman .

Simone said applicants must have a complete business plan and executive summary, which is basi-cally a condensed business plan that can be quickly analyzed. The applicants will be reduced to fi ve fi -nalists, who will have to give an in-depth explanation of their business plan at the pitch event.

Each fi nalist will take the stage, introducing his or her business and explaining how much money

they’re seeking and how an invest-ment will be used. The investors will then decide how much money, if any, will be appropriated to which companies.

Simone stressed that an invest-ment is not guaranteed to any com-pany pitching at the event, but the investors are attending with inten-tions to invest if the right company is presented. He added that only com-panies that have recently formed or are attempting to get started are be-ing considered for the competition. Already-existing businesses looking for “extra cash” will be turned away, Simone said.

November’s pitch night is the 15th edition over the past three years, but it is special because it’s the fi rst competition in which poten-tial investments are available, Sim-one said. He said SeNSE partnered directly with the Business Report for the fi rst time this year, utilizing its resources network to fi nd investors willing to contribute a signifi cant amount into these new companies.

“This is the fi rst pitch night where they’re actually investing money at the event.” Simone said. “This is something we’ve thought about for a while, and because this is during Baton Rouge Entrepreneur-ship Week , we thought it’d be per-fect timing. It’s one of the last events of the week, so it’s a good event to culminate the week.”

The fi ve investors, all of which began their ventures in the region, are Todd Graves , founder and CEO of Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers ; Mike Wampold , founder and own-er of Wampold Companies ; Lane Grigsby , founder and chairman of the board of Cajun Industries ; Joe Agresti , president and co-owner of

Mercedes-Benz of Baton Rouge ; and Kevin Couhig , founder and CEO of Source Capital .

“Starting a business was harder than I ever imagined,” Graves said in an email. “When I was raising money to start my chicken fi nger restaurant, every bank in town told me no. Because of the challenges I faced, entrepreneurism and business development is a key area of Cane’s community involvement.”

As an investor, Graves said he will be looking for “innovative, solid business plans” and an entre-preneur who will fanatically pursue his or her vision.

Simone said a competition like this is important for Baton Rouge , the state and young entrepreneurs for four reasons: awareness, inspira-tion, education and networking.

Awareness and inspiration go hand-in-hand. The pitch-night shows people that entrepreneurship is happening in their own backyard, and they could be involved, Simone said. It also shows these same people that they could also be accomplish-ing what these young entrepreneurs are attempting.

Simone said the event also pro-vides insight to people who want to be entrepreneurs but don’t know how to get started. It introduces po-tential entrepreneurs to people who can make their visions materialize, he said.

Friday is deadline for submissions

Student Government re-viewed its budget of more than $116,000 for the fiscal year at Wednesday’s Senate meeting. SG’s budget, which includes money received from student fees, is used to fund appropria-tion grants to student groups and organizations. The budget is also used to fund SG’s activities, proj-ects and programs.

DeAndre Beadle, chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, said this year’s bud-get increased to $116,475.15 be-cause of the University’s increase in enrollment.

“We collect $2.20 every fall and spring semester, and 90 cents over the summer,” he said. “With a higher enrollment, we have a higher budget for the fiscal year.”

Beadle addressed the lack of finance bills written and urged students to look around campus for issues that SG can assist with financially.

“Senator Frias wrote the leg-islation for the library inspired by Thomas Rodgers — initia-tives like that — things that you see on campus that directly make an impact to students,” Beadle said, citing the legislation passed to provide additional seating in

Middleton Library.After five hours of debate

on proposed changes to Student Government’s election code over multiple meetings, the sena-tors finally approved the resolu-tion with 86 percent in favor of changes.

Lane Pace, a political sci-ence junior and the speaker pro tempore, said his “favorite” change to the elections code was its greater emphasis on social media.

“We’re going to expand next semester’s elections to where we can grab that voter that’s never voted in a Student Government election and actually urge them and tell them to go vote,” Pace said.

Pace told students the in-creased use of social media in Student Government elections will allow them to increase their voter turnout from 22 percent to compete with voter turnouts at other SEC schools.

SG also unanimously ap-proved a measure to honor and recognize members of the Best Buddies LSU Chapter for their leadership and hospitable vol-unteer work. Best Buddies is a nonprofit organization that selects volunteers to provide friendships and leadership for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

five of the nine votes, were dis-pleased with the current standards for achieving diversity at univer-sities.

Justice Anthony Kennedy questioned what determined the numerical targets or quotas of mi-nority students.

Some justices also ques-tioned how universities can deter-mine who to choose between two equally qualified minority stu-dents — such as between a black and Hispanic student.

“What does the racial pref-erence mean if it doesn’t mean that in that situation the minority applicant wins and the other one loses?” Justice Antonin Scalia asked the Court, according to the court transcript.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor dis-agreed, saying the top-10-percent program treats everyone equally and after that cutoff, there are no two indistinguishable applicants.

“The factors are so varied, so contextually set, that no two ap-plicants ever could be identical in the sense that they hypothesize,” she said, according to the court transcript.

Some of the liberal justices also said a new ruling changing the law laid out in Grutter v. Bol-linger — a 2003 case in which the

Supreme Court endorsed the right of universities to assemble a var-ied student body — could cause trouble for district courts across the country to interpret the law.

“Why overrule a case into which so much thought and effort went and so many people across the country have depended on?” Justice Stephen Breyer asked.

After the Supreme Court hearing, Fisher addressed the me-dia, saying, “My parents always taught me that it is wrong to dis-criminate. I hope the Supreme Court will decide that all future University of Texas applicants will compete without their race or ethnicity used in the school’s ad-missions process.”

UT has told the media previ-ously that Fisher would not have been admitted to the university regardless of race.

UT’s president Bill Powers told USA Today a ruling against UT “would be a setback for the university and society.”

With four justices openly op-posing using race in admissions, and Justice Kennedy expressing skepticism over what constitutes a diverse student body, the vote may go in Fisher’s favor.

crossing Nicholson Drive when she was hit at the waist. Her head flew forward, hitting the driver side of the windshield. Howell said there wasn’t a lot of traffic, and Jirawatju-nya seemed to be hurrying across the street.

Capt. Cory Lalonde, LSU Po-lice Department spokesman, said the car was attempting to turn left from the Old Alex Box parking lot onto Nicholson Drive when it struck Jirawatjunya. Lalonde said Jirawatjunya had the right-of-way.

Jirawatjunya sustained injuries to her head and face from hitting the pavement, but Lalonde said the in-juries were not life-threatening. She was put on a stretcher and taken to Baton Rouge General in Mid City.

The driver of the car is a 19-year-old female who declined to

give her name but confirmed she is a student at the University. She said she had a green light when her car struck Jirawatjunya.

“That’s a bad intersection; sometimes you get stuck in the middle,” the driver said. “I think that the light was malfunctioning because someone who saw more than I did … saw that her sign said ‘walk’ too.”

The driver said she was not tex-ting or talking on her phone during the incident.

Soto said the walking signal was lit and Jirawatjunya had the right-of-way.

Howell said he called 911 at 5:37 p.m. and that by the time he tweeted the incident at 5:41 p.m., police had arrived at the scene.

“They did an excellent job responding,” Howell said about emergency personnel.

This is the second incident at the University in a week in which a student was injured by a motor vehicle. Last Thursday, around 1:15 p.m., a Facility Services truck rolled over a student in the Quad.

That student was able to walk after the incident and had minor injuries to his face. He refused to be taken to the hospital, though he later went on his own. Both he and the driver of the Facility Services vehicle declined to comment when approached by Daily Reveille re-porters Thursday.

Budget increases due to higher enrollment

Election Code earns 86 percent approval

Across the board, the LSU football team’s 2012 campaign has not matched up with preseason ex-pectations.

Once thought an unstoppable juggernaut, the Tigers have been beatable after fi ve games. Prior to its fi rst game on Sept. 1 , few pre-dicted LSU to fall at Florida last weekend.

Then again, not many predict-ed now-No. 4 Florida to be a top-fi ve team.

While the No. 9 Tigers have not lived up to expectations, their schedule has been stronger than ex-pected, which could be a boon.

“It’s obviously a lot stronger than the fans thought it’d be,” said junior linebacker Kevin Minter . “This schedule isn’t no joke. … It’s a pretty hard schedule, contrary to what people believe.”

This season’s schedule looked a far cry from the Tigers’ last, when they played seven top-25 teams during the regular season. Only four teams, all Southeastern Conference contestants, on LSU’s 2012 schedule were ranked prior to the season and while Arkansas’ ultimate ineptitude could not have

The LSU women’s basketball team grew during the offseason.

The Lady Tigers adjusted to losing six players, including their go-to player in No. 10 WNBA Draft pick LaSondra Barrett and freshman standout Krystal For-than .

The team added three players and will stick with a 10-woman roster. Coach Nikki Caldwell said the Tigers trained successfully during the offseason and will ro-tate enough during games to keep up with its fast-paced offense.

The team only plays two hours each practice, spending 30 minutes on individual skill devel-opment and 90 minutes together as a team to keep “poundage on the joints” to a minimum.

“I don’t feel as though 10 people would hurt us, unless we

— knock on wood — lose some-body to injuries,” Caldwell said. “We should be able to run all 10 of our players in and out of the game. That’s about how many we played last year as far as quality minutes.”

Caldwell said she will call on senior guard Adrienne Webb for the bulk of the leadership this sea-son with junior guard Jeanne Ken-ney also helping out on both ends of the court. The Tigers practice to Webb’s pace and level of intensity, Caldwell said .

Webb credits her motiva-tion not only to her senior season, but also to LSU’s second-round NCAA tournament loss to No. 11 Penn State in the PMAC last sea-son.

“I’m hungry,” Webb said. “I wanna get back to the tournament; I wanna win a national champion-ship. If you have an extra year, you gotta come back hungrier.”

Webb said there is pressure on

the fi rst-year players, along with everyone else, to have an impact on the fl oor and lead in their own way so the team can have a suc-cessful season.

Kenney was forced to replace Destini Hughes at point guard af-ter Hughes was injured halfway through the season. With the ad-dition of freshman guards Dani-elle Ballard and Kuaneshia Baker , Kenney will move back to her shooting guard position.

Caldwell said Kenney sacri-fi ced part of her game to replace Hughes , but Kenney is open to do whatever her coach needs.

“Whatever coach Nikki wants me to play, I’ll play it,” Kenney said. “If it’s on the ball, I’ll do it, but I like to score, too.”

Replacing Barrett and for-wards Swayze Black and Court-ney Jones will be junior forwards

With former LSU men’s bas-ketball coach Trent Johnson en

route to TCU, transfer rumors swirled around Anthony Hickey and Johnny O’Bryant III , the unquestioned young leaders of Johnson’s fi nal LSU squad.

One phone call later and the dreadlocked duo was headed back to Baton Rouge.

Now sans the trademark hair-styles in an effort to illustrate the new image of the program, the sophomores are on a mission to

blaze their own paths under new coach Johnny Jones .

“We’re looking into the fu-ture, and we’re ready to get this roll going,” Hickey said. “We’re trying to start our own legacy.”

Running an offense suited for the Hopkinsville, Ky ., na-tive’s lifelong habits on the court, the new look of the LSU team will feature a high-octane offen-sive scheme centered on precise

ball handling, fi tting into Hick-ey’s repertoire.

Although limited by John-son’s slower offensive tendencies last season, Hickey said the expe-rience benefi ted him in the long run in wrangling in some plays he considered too fast or wild.

“I’ve played fast my whole life,” Hickey said. “The slow

Separation Saturday caused a big shift in the landscape of the Southeastern Conference. Florida and South Carolina made a state-ment for the SEC East with two dominant victories. I can’t wait to see what Week 7 has in store.

1. Alabama (5-0)Two road tests are up

next for the Crimson Tide coming off a bye week.

First, Alabama travels to Co-lumbia, Mo., this weekend to take on Missouri. Mizzou couldn’t even manage a win against Vanderbilt at home last Saturday. Don’t expect a better result against the well-rested Crimson Tide.

Last Week: 1 (bye)

2. South Carolina (6-0)Oh, hello South

Carolina.The Gamecocks

introduced themselves to the na-tion with a statement win against Georgia in primetime Saturday. It doesn’t get any easier for South Carolina. Nobody will remember what happened last weekend if the Gamecocks don’t continue their success against LSU in Tiger Sta-dium this weekend.

Last Week: 4 (Beat Georgia, 35-7)

3. Florida (5-0)I certainly didn’t

think Florida would be No. 3 after six weeks.

Beating LSU is coach Will Muschamp’s first signature win and the Gators now control their own destiny.

Take down Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Georgia, and the SEC East is theirs. It’s going to be tough, but after the performance against LSU, I think the Gators have what it takes.

Last Week: 5 (Beat LSU, 14-6)

4. LSU (5-1)The Swamp and

Florida senior running back Mike Gillislee proved too much for the Tigers, snapping their 18-game regular-season winning streak.

LSU won’t have any time to sulk with a white-hot South Caroli-na coming to town. It will be inter-esting to see how the LSU offense changes after being shut out in the second half against Florida.

Last Week: 3 (Lost to Florida, 14-6)

5. Georgia (5-1)South Carolina

sent the Dawgs back to Athens, Ga., with their tails be-tween their legs.

What happened to that high-powered Georgia offense? Sopho-more South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney might have had something to do with it.

A bye week followed by a game against Kentucky is just what the doctor ordered.

Last Week: 2 (Lost to South Carolina, 35-7)

6. Mississippi (5-0)It’s time for the

Bulldogs to show what they’re made of. Beat Tennessee at

home, and make me a believer. Could this team really be 7-0

in a few weeks when it takes on Alabama?

Last Week: 7 (Beat Kentucky, 27-14)

7. Texas A&M (4-1)Freshman quarter-

back Johnny Manziel isn’t just a contender for SEC Freshman of the Year. He could very well be the SEC Player of the Year.

Facing a 10-point fourth-quar-ter deficit against Ole Miss, Man-ziel led a comeback by throwing and running for a touchdown in the final period. Facing No. 23 Louisi-ana Tech in Shreveport will be one of the best games of the weekend.

Last Week: 6 (Beat Ole Miss, 30-27)

8. Tennessee (3-2)After a strong start,

everything has gone wrong for the Vols.

Coach Derek Dooley suffered a broken hip and will coach from the press box against Mississippi State.

Injuries won’t get Dooley any breaks with three straight top-25 foes looming. It’s simple: win or find a new home.

Last Week: 8 (bye)

9. Ole Miss (3-3)The Rebel Black

Bears let a win slip through their fingers against Texas A&M.

Don’t worry, at least Auburn is coming to Oxford, Miss., this weekend. It can’t even beat Arkan-sas.

Last Week: 10 (Lost to Texas A&M, 30-27)

10. Vanderbilt (2-3)Missouri quarter-

back James Franklin’s loss is Vanderbilt coach

James Franklin’s gain. The Com-modores finally got one in the win column in the SEC this season after beating Mizzou on the road.

Could they win two in a row against Florida this weekend? I doubt it.

Last Week: 12 (Beat Missouri, 19-15)

11. Arkansas (2-4)For the first

time in a few weeks, coach John L. Smith can finally smile. The win at Auburn probably saved Smith’s job.

Just kidding.Last Week: 13 (Beat

Auburn, 24-7)

12. Missouri (3-3)Quarterback James

Franklin got hurt again, and the Tigers got beat again.

If he doesn’t play this week-end against Alabama, Mizzou fans shouldn’t even show up.

Last Week: 9 (Lost to Vanderbilt, 19-15)

13. Auburn (1-4)I hope coach Gene

Chizik hasn’t run out of stationery to write

thank-you letters to Cam Newton for allowing him to survive at Au-burn this long.

Last Week: 11 (Lost to Arkansas, 24-7)

14. Kentucky (1-5)Has basketball

season started yet?

Last Week: 14 (Lost to Mississippi State, 27-14)

The LSU volleyball team was unable take advantage of op-portunities Wednesday night as it fell to Tennessee in yet another five-set match.

The Tigers controlled the momentum for most of the night, holding significant leads in the first four sets.

Junior middle blocker De-siree Elliott led LSU in a domi-nant 25-15 first set victory with six kills.

But the Volunteers refused to go away, mounting comebacks late in the second and fourth sets, and dominating the fifth on their way to victory.

“It’s very frustrating to lose in five when we could have won the game in three,” said senior outside hitter Madie Jones. “We just aren’t able to finish some-times in key situations.”

Blocking continued to be a strength for LSU, as the Tigers recorded a season-high 18 stuffs to the Volunteers’ 13. The Tigers were led by Elliott and freshman middle blocker Khourtni Fears,

who each had 5.5 blocks in the match.

“After the first match [the blockers] lined up and it was so easy to play behind them,” said senior defensive specialist Meghan Mannari. “…They put us in the right position to make the best plays we could make.”

Mannari looked comfortable at the libero position in her third game back after missing time with a high ankle sprain.

“I thought Meghan played a great match,” said LSU coach Fran Flory. “She did everything we could ask her to do… she gave her heart tonight and was able to execute on the level that we need-ed somebody to execute on.”

She looked as if she was get-ting back to full strength, tallying a season-high 29 digs.

After the loss, LSU now has an overall record of 7-11 and a Southeastern Conference record of 3-6, sitting in ninth place in the league.

The Tigers have struggled to find consistency this season, fail-ing to win back-to-back games since they defeated Middle Tennessee and Western Michigan

in the Carolina Classic on Sept. 8.Despite the loss, Flory was

proud of her team and said they had fun, something she says is vi-tal to their success.

“This team has to have fun, there’s no question about it,” Flory said. “Late in sets we tried to win and the tensity went up instead of the intensity. When that happens, it’s awfully hard to make big plays.”

The Tigers will look to bounce back Sunday when they take on Alabama in the PMAC.

The last time the Tigers faced the Crimson Tide, Alabama dom-inated the Tigers in three sets.

“We want a rematch. We want revenge against them,” Mannari said. “It’s tough to lose a five-setter on Wednesday night, but we just have to regroup and come back on Sunday.”

pace we played last year was a key help to me to being under control, and now I’m more con-trollable on what I do.”

Aside from his excitement surrounding the offense, Hickey said he has eagerly anticipated the leadership role he’s under-taken since he arrived on campus.

“Me and Coach Jones had our talks about taking up lead-ership and being more vocal,” Hickey said. “[Jones said to] ‘have the senior mindset to con-trol the tempo and just run the team.’”

The transition may not be as seamless for 6-foot-9 O’Bryant, who had previously balked at the notion of taking over for Justin Hamilton at center.

Now with a more team-ori-ented focus radiating through-out his preparations, O’Bryant is keen on whatever his position he’s called on to play.

“It’s all a team game, I’m go-ing to do whatever the team needs me to do,” O’Bryant said. “If playing the five is what it takes, I’ll gladly accept that role.”

Aside from the strategy on the court, the classmates con-curred that Jones’ renewed pas-sion for the program has been infectious throughout both the

program and its fanbase.“He’s got a pride about the

place, so he’s bringing that back to us,” O’Bryant said. “The guys can’t wait to play for him.”

Fresh off a season that saw a return to postseason action after back-to-back 20-loss campaigns, Hickey said expectations have been reset and are higher than before.

Brushing off the obvious lack of height on the Tiger roster, Hickey asserted the Tigers will simply move forward.

“[First it was the] NIT, next win the SEC Championship, then maybe even more,” Hickey said. “We don’t just need us in this thing, LSU is a family, and I know the PMAC is going to be a little louder this year.”

But as for those questions that surrounded the duo after Johnson’s resignation, O’Bryant said they are a thing of the past.

“Before I made the deci-sion to leave, we all wanted to see who they decided to bring in and if I was comfortable with that,” O’Bryant said. “And I’m still here.”

been predicted, its No. 10 spot was instantly devalued when coach Bobby Petrino skidded out of the job.

But now, with Florida climb-ing 19 spots, South Carolina show-ing itself as a top-three team and Texas A&M being a candidate for the top 20 if it can overcome BCS-busting Louisiana Tech, Oc-tober has become a gauntlet for the reeling Tigers. Then, of course, a matchup of amplifi ed implications with No. 1 Alabama awaits if they escape unscathed to November.

“We’re kind of now getting into the meat of our schedule, and we’re playing those tough SEC op-ponents,” said junior defensive end Barkevious Mingo .

Also jumping in and out of the top 25 , Washington has contended in the Pac-12 by defeating a then-No. 8 Stanford, strengthening a nonconference schedule that was less ballyhooed than that of the 2011 campaign.

Too much is made of preseason predictions, said junior defensive end Sam Montgomery .

“In between the lines, no one really knows until the ball is snapped what’s going to happen,” Montgomery said. “… An [analy-sis] of a human spirit and a heart and the passion of a group can never be interpreted by just predic-tions.”

But that doesn’t mean he dis-regards the importance of the in-creased schedule strength with ESPN set to reveal this season’s inaugural BCS rankings Sunday . While strength of schedule was taken out of the BCS formula in 2004 , it certainly impacts the deci-sion-making of the humans voting in the various polls.

“That’s just like gold,” Mont-gomery said of LSU’s highly ranked, upcoming opponents. “The polls are tricky. The polls mean if you whoop a good team, you can jump right up above them. So let’s see, we got around three top teams. We mess around and beat South

Carolina. Go to Texas A&M, do a great job down there. Pull out a win against Alabama. Where are we sit-ting at now?”

Minter said the schedule is especially important with the loss incurred in Gainesville, Fla., last weekend.

Montgomery cited the 2007 Tigers and last year’s Crimson Tide as examples that their goals are still attainable, while acknowledging that it’s easier said than done.

“It can be done, you’ve just

got to win out.”

Theresa Plaisance and Shanece McKinney , sophomore forward Sheila Boykin and freshman center Derreyal Youngblood . Caldwell said there is no player that can “out-physical” the 6-foot-4 Youngblood .

“Derreyal Youngblood will be hard for anybody to guard,” Caldwell said. “She brings a different presence, a different

strength on the low block that we didn’t have.”

Caldwell commended her team for the way it stepped up af-ter the obstacles it faced since its last game.

“You can either woe about it, or you can pick up the pieces,” Caldwell said. “They’ve taken all the challenges that’s been thrown their way, not with just losing Krystal , but losing fi ve seniors. I’m looking forward to them

continuing to grow and under-stand the reality of the game, and it is about the 10 people that’s on this roster. We’re gonna focus in on each other.”

Caldwell said the team focus-es on its bond and playing together like a family. The day before the fi rst practice, the Tigers com-peted in the “Tiger Olympics,” which Caldwell started last year as a team bonding event. Young-blood said the Olympics were

complicated, but the events helped her teammates connect on a per-sonal level.

“We truly feel that’s going to make a difference with our team with how tight we are and how together we play,” Caldwell said. “We obviously have to play like we got each others’ back, and when you’re family, that’s what you do.”

Despite losing many players, Caldwell remains optimistic about

her team and looks forward to her players’ continued growth.

“We’ve defi nitely got a lot of work ahead of us,” Caldwell said. “We’re gonna keep working the best that we can to get ready for that fi rst game.”

For an eve-ning, the Titanic sailed once again on its maiden voyage and took audi-

In celebra-tion of the 100th anniversary of the

Titanic’s sinking , the LSU Union Theater presented “Titanic, the Mu-

sical” on Wednes-day evening.

A c c o r d i n g to a news release, “Titanic, the Mu-

sical” is the winner of fi ve Tony Awards , including best musical , best score and best book .

Contrary to what some may have thought, the musical differed

from the popular movie. The musical focused on different main characters

who were passengers in the third, second and fi rst classes, along with the captain.

The show opened with shipbuilder Thom-

as Andrews singing about the won-ders of the world, and then turned to

Since circulating its fi rst demo cassette tape to preparing for an eighth studio album, rock trio Better Than Ezra has clung to its University roots through the years.

The New Orleans-based band will return to Baton Rouge to per-form alongside country singer Darius Rucker on Friday at the L’Auberge

Casino & Hotel. The event is out-doors, “rain or shine.”

Tom Drummond, bassist for the band, said he expects it to be a spir-ited show.

“It’s a Friday night before a LSU game,” he said. “I’m assuming it’ll be a very energetic show with a lot of lively crowd participation.”

Even after seven studio albums, several chart-topping hits and more than two decades since its formation

at LSU, Drummond said Better than Ezra is still heavily infl uenced by University culture. This is most evi-dent in the group’s latest EP, “Death Valley,” which was released last Oc-tober.

The seven-song album trans-formed Tiger Band signatures like “Hey Baby” and “Chinese Ban-dits” into modernized, pop-rock

The chill in the air and the leaves falling from trees are some of the remind-ers that fall is fi nally upon us.

There are so many things to love about fall, but fall fashion is by far my favorite. Cozy cardigans, luscious leather boots and chic scarves are just some of the many essential pieces to a per-fect Autumn ensemble.

My personal picks for a great fall wardrobe are tights and cash-mere scarves. Tights are ideal for transitioning summer pieces into the fall. Wear chic, tailored shorts over sheer tights with ankle boots for a prim, ladylike look. Tights make it possible to wear a dress in the fall. Go for bold prints or striking colors to add interest to an outfi t. You can pick up a pair of tights at H&M .

A cashmere scarf is that little piece of luxury you’ll wonder how you ever came this far without. A simple color like white or black lends versatility. A cashmere scarf is timeless and can be paired with nearly anything.

In the Quad, a few students have shown off their outfi ts, and they are right on trend for the season. Ali Schwandt, athletic training fresh-man, wore a summery fl oral strap-less dress paired with a Polo Ralph

Lauren knit cardigan and brown suede boots. This is an ideal transi-tion outfi t to make use of summer clothes, even when the sun-kissed days of summer are fading.

In a long-sleeve Anthropolo-gie dress, opaque purple tights and knee-length, cognac lace-up boots, Alex Morgan, international studies sophomore, channeled an eclectic vibe as she made the transition to the cooler months. Morgan said the must-have item for the fall season is anything with fur accents. A chic fur vest is the perfect way to add implied luxury to an outfi t, and it’s easy to dress up or down.

Lauren Barnett, art history graduate student, looked regal in a fl oor-length striped navy blue maxi dress from TJ Maxx with a skinny red belt. This nautical look is chic, no matter what the season. Barnett said boots are the must-have item for the season.

Boots are essential for any fash-ionista’s fall wardrobe. Whether they’re ankle boots or knee-high rid-ing boots, be sure to get a pair or two in your closet.

Stay chic and stay warm.

Grade:B -

University students looking to get inked can receive more than enough information on the history, styles and personal meanings be-hind tattooing Thursday.

The event will supplement the Student Union Art Gallery’s exhib-it “Ancient Marks: The Sacred Ori-gins of Tattoos and Body Marking” with a Q&A discussion panel host-ing several respected tattoo artists from the New Orleans area.

On Oct. 4 , the Atchafalaya Room of the Student Union saw the Smithsonian Institution’s Lars Krutak give a detailed presentation on the art and history of indigenous body modifi cation from his travels to tattoo practicing cultures around the world. Thursday’s panel will include artists familiar with differ-ent cultures of tattooing as well, from Eastern to Western body art.

Graduate assistant Alexan-dria Guillory helped bring this exhibit and its related pre-sentations to the University, which the Student Union has been trying to do for nearly two years. She said the subject will highly interest students, espe-cially since many practices carried out in tribal worlds are modernized and altered to Western standards.

“We thought it would be a good idea to show them where the origins of their tattoos are coming from — what really began the art that they carry on today,” she said . “With this tattoo lecture we’ve got coming Thursday, that will really

show them how tattoos from the ancient world are still greatly af-fecting what people are putting on their bodies today and how those have transformed what one culture sees as beautiful [as opposed to] another.”

Guillory said “Ancient Marks” originally ran at Southeastern Lou-isiana University . The exhibit was

organized there by the university’s art gallery Director Dale Newkirk , who will moderate to-day’s panel and largely helped to draw in the participating tattoo art-ists.

“I try to curate shows I think will be of interest to the students of campus and young people,” Newkirk said . “Tattoos have become more and more prev-alent in that age group of, I’d say, about 18 to 30. So I just wanted to look into the different aesthetics of what is happening in that fi eld and how people are engaging in it.”

Newkirk bares a tattoo him-self from Donn Davis , one of the

artists participating in the panel who runs Tattooagogo in New Or-leans . While this shop inks multiple styles of tattoos, Davis specializes in Americana and Japanese styles.

“They both use the same tech-niques of tattooing,” Davis said . “It’s just, the imagery is different. It’s a technique that I really like, just the bold line, beautiful solid color with heavy black shading. It really stands out, it pops on the body and it ages well.”

Davis was introduced to the Japanese style through Don Ed Hardy’s book “Tattootime.” He said seeing photos of Japanese people with full body suit tattoos fascinated him, especially since this style stays consistent on peo-ple’s skin. When looking at photos of the Japanese in their 20s, Davis said these tattoos resembled the same images as those people aged into their 60s.

“If I’m going to build these tattoos, I’m going to build them to last,” he said.

Davis opened Tattooagogo three years ago. However, he’s been tattooing for 18 years, over the course of which, he’s tattooed more than 100 dragons.

“Every person I tattoo is very different. Every tattoo I put on them is going to be different,” he said . “Trying to make it fi t that per-son and refl ect that person is what it’s all about. So that’s a big part of it — and being a part of something that’s been around for so long.”

The tattoo discussion begins at 12 p.m. in the Atchafalaya Room of the Student Union .

The soloist/composer recently released her sixth album, “Glow.” Living up to her lauded reputation as a God-gifted guitarist, King impresses right off the bat with opening track, “Great Round Burn,” one of sev-eral pieces heightened in drama by string quartet ETHEL. Stripped, raw and devoid of vocals, King’s melodies embarrass acoustic eleva-

tor ditties to a cave of shame, with a complex construction that’s all ear candy. “Fences,” in particular, lay-ers notes and chords in airy, happy-making music. The dance-inducing sounds are calming and make the perfect soundtrack for waking up or chilling out. King’s “Glow” reigns over all instrumental albums.

The unoriginal name selection for The Script’s third studio album, “#3 ,” foreshadows the album’s limited artistic offerings. The Irish alternative rock out� t has churned out 10 emotional tracks that aren’t necessarily worse than previous work, but too similar. The breakup anthem styling worked for 2008’s “Breakeven ,” but the cliché has been played out. As if sensing the fans will realize they are being fed reheated leftovers, lead singer Danny O’ Donoghue turns to an unlikely in� uence a third of the way through the al-

bum – rap. The Script even brings WILL.I.AM in with “Hall of Fame ” for a bizarre combination of clean rap and soft rock. Fans looking for more of the same may enjoy “Good ‘Ol Days ” and “Six Degrees of Separation .” “#3 ” is ready-for-radio music and will likely join the easy listening soundtracks of dentist of� ces around the nation.

Though it was released in 2009, the � rst “Taken ” still stands as a wonderfully entertaining � lm. The movie is pure adrenaline, with plenty of surprises and energy to spare. Sadly, its sequel is devoid of most of the elements that made the original such a breath of fresh air. Director Olivier Megaton does little to change the conventions set by Pierre Morel , director of the � rst � lm. Megaton’s action se-quences are choppily edited and likely to leave the viewer wonder-ing what is going on. Where “Taken ”

was happy to innovate on action movie conventions, Megaton is content to let “Taken 2 ” sink to the levels of a subpar action � ick. Despite all this, it’s still entertaining to watch Liam Neeson kill people with his bare hands. Neeson and the rest of the cast deliver solid performances, saving the � lm from being a complete mess. “Taken 2 ” may be entertaining, but it falls far short of the expectations established by the � rst � lm.

An era of Upper East Side mayhem is coming to an end. The premiere of Gossip Girl’s � nal season � nds its leading lady Serena van der Woodsen missing in action as her pretentious posse of pretty-faced frenemies search for her. Even with a few clever lines, slapping matches and uncomfortable glimpses of skin, the premiere falls short of anything but boring. Clusters of overly-contrived scenes � utter aimlessly throughout the episode in an attempt to tie up the previous season’s loose ends, leaving

viewers to suffer through an hour of melodramatic acting in vain. The only comedic relief comes from Michelle Trachtenberg as Georgina, but even her character is mudded as the show becomes increasingly reminiscent of a ’90s soap opera. Advice for those brave enough to tune in next week? Turn the sound off and stare at the beautiful people. DAVID JONES

Bad Books , the collaborative effort of Kevin Devine and Manches-ter Orchestra , released its second studio album. The front-runners of the indie-rock scene couldn’t have picked a better month to debut their creative efforts. The changing of the seasons pairs wonderfully with the group’s ambient, hazy melodies. The � rst al-bum single “Forest Whitaker” is undeniably catchy and adds synth action that was absent from the � rst album. The band displays incredible variety, being able to mas-

ter both slow ballads as well as upbeat toe-tapping tunes. This most likely stems from the spectrum of instruments the band incorporates, including expert percussion, guitar, acoustic and otherwise, along with keyboard and piano elements. Everything about this album is pure audio bliss – the vocals, the lyrics and the instrumentals. Catch this super-group at The Parish at House of Blues New Orleans on Oct. 16 . TAYLOR SCHOEN

Following the success of her smash hit “Lights,” Ellie Goulding’s sophomore album “Halycon” takes her sound in a new, darker direction. Sweeping tracks like “Explosions” and “Atlantis” bring epic, Florence Welch-esque drama to an album � avored by Goulding’s � air for electronic sounds. Though lead single “Anything Could Happen” makes a strong case, it’s the addic-tive “Figure 8” that steals the � rst half of the album, combining a catchy hook with the killer line,

“I need you more than I can take.” Deeply personal lyrics like this color all of “Halcyon,” make it an emotionally rich album tempered by Goulding’s raspy, smoky voice which keeps it from feeling too overwrought. Even with its greater depth and more dynamic ar-rangements, “Halcyon” is more pop-friendly than its predecessor. Expect to hear more Ellie Goulding on the radio soon. KACI YODER

Cinema lovers can head to the Big Easy this weekend to celebrate the New Orleans Film Society’s 23rd New Orleans Film Festival.

The film marathon begins to-day and ends Thursday, Oct. 18.

Henry Griffin, vice president of the board of the New Orleans

Film Society, said the festival be-gan in 1989 with humble roots. Over time, the festival has expand-ed notably.

“We have grown from being a small, local festival to being a large festival, which is dedicated to showing, among other things, short films with about 200 short films this season,” Griffin said. “We strongly represent Louisiana

filmmakers, and we also have a commitment to bringing in big-ger movies on the major festival circuits.”

He said the festival will be screening several films at the To-ronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. The society aspires to become a major American festival, while also remaining rooted to the Loui-siana film community, according to Griffin.

Griffin said films being screened come from a variety of movie-makers, local or otherwise.

Zack Godshall, a University film professor, will have a short film featured in the festival, enti-tled “What Happens When Robert Leaves the Room.”

While not all the films are cre-ated by Louisiana residents, many are filmed in Louisiana, lending them local flair.

“A big change that has hap-pened in the New Orleans Film Festival is that New Orleans has become, I believe, the second-largest film production area in the United States,” Griffin said.

Griffin listed numerous

movies featured at the festival that were shot in Louisiana. One in particular he mentioned was “The Paperboy,” a Southern goth-ic thriller. “The Paperboy” was directed by Lee Daniels, director of “Precious,” and it stars Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Matthew Mc-Conaughy and John Cusack.

Director of “The Fighter,” David O. Russell, “Silver Linings Playbook” — a dramedy featuring Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Law-rence and Robert De Niro will be screened at the festival.

Griffin said the festival will be showing documentaries along with full-feature movies and short films.

The New Orleans Film Fes-tival boasts an array of flicks, but it also provides panels and work-shops for budding film creators. Griffin said the New Orleans Film Society offers a workshop called Pitch Perfect. The work-shop is geared toward students aspiring to become filmmakers. Pitch Perfect allows these stu-dents to practice pitching their ideas for films or documentaries to movie professionals.

Another interactive part of the film fest is its competitive division with entries in eight categories. The winners will receive either cash prizes or camera packages, Griffin said.

The Mayans were right. The world is ending. It’s 2012, and Dec. 21 is quickly approaching.

How can we be sure? Because Taylor Swift released a dubstep song. You read that right — there’s the drop, the wub and the mind-numbing, anxiety-inducing beat.

O.K., maybe it isn’t the end of the world. To be honest, it’s not even surprising. Despite marketing herself as a cutesy country artist who will write a three-and-a-half-minute revenge ballad if you so much as accidentally bump into her on the sidewalk, Swift has nev-er been dixie.

Swift is an all-too-perfect specimen of the early 21st cen-tury’s pop music paradox. Today’s top artists (and their marketers and their writers and their producers) are truly making bank on the mini-mal amount of talent they possess. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Musicians need to make a liv-ing too.

The problem is that creativ-ity has become almost irrelevant to what makes money and tops the charts, and the worst part is that fans have stopped demanding the best from the artists they plaster on their walls and endlessly quote on Facebook.

Swift makes catchy music, and she — or her marketers — deserves credit for giving people what they want.

But the beauty of music and the genius of its timeless pioneers stem from listeners not always get-ting what they want. Those artists we exonerate as the greatest musi-cians of all time challenged what

was conventional, taking current sounds, making them their own and turning them upside down.

Elvis Presley shook his hips like he was possessed by the de-mon of dance. Bob Dylan couldn’t

sing. The Beatles had the audacity to release “Revolver” while they were still romancing the Rolling Stone.

What do we get now? Mum-ford and Sons make another album of twangy, anthemic folk, fresh out of London. “Gangnam Style,” an idiotic ripoff of the already idi-otic LMFAO, is actually making money in the U.S. Taylor Swift just released a dubstep song.

During the ’60s, ’70s and maybe ’80s, what I will arbitrarily dub as the Golden Age of Music, the popular artists were the trend-setters. An album would hit No. 1, and a deluge of wannabes would pump out carbon-copied records. Now, pop music is simply a shame-less reproduction and exploitation of Internet-hyped, semi-under-ground trends.

Perhaps this outlook is naive — after all, music is a profession. People are smart to cash in on the obvious trends. The fault is on the listeners’ ears, as we refuse to re-ject laughable attempts at music that aims for the middle.

But for some, picking up an album that challenges the convention of what qualifies as music is a blessing.

Critical indie darling Animal Collective’s newest LP “Centipede Hz” is one of those albums. On top of the world after the success of the masterful “Merriweather Post Pavilion,” Avey Tare, Panda Bear and the gang could have produced an obviously similar work and continued riding Pitchfork 9.0-plus waves all the way to the bank.

Instead, Animal Collective did

what many table-turners before have executed flawlessly. “Cen-tipede Hz” could not have been more different than the preceding breakout. Composition choices are anything but conventional, and sounds appear that don’t usually belong in coherent music.

But time spent with this record is inexpressibly rewarding. Simply opening the mind to consider what was not expected and what is not conventional can change perspec-tive on an album. “Centipede Hz” is undoubtedly 21st century, but that doesn’t mean there’s a bass drop to be found.

That’s why I take a little pride in being musically pretentious and why I will fault someone who says his or her favorite musician is on Top 40 radio repeat.

You shouldn’t hate Taylor Swift because she’s whiny and a little tone-deaf. You should be unsatisfied because her music is lazy and pandering to consumers’ least common denominator.

But we should be mad at ourselves, because we’re settling for artists’ worst, and we’re pay-ing sky-high prices for albums and shows that aren’t their best.

Multiple tablets compete with future iPad Mini

Contact Taylor Balkom at tbalkom@lsureveille.com

With the iPad Mini’s an-nouncement expected to be some-time this month, most manufac-turers aren’t divulging anything. They’re waiting to see what Ap-ple’s newest tablet will look like and, more importantly, how much it will cost.

But Samsung doesn’t care.

1. Galaxy S III Mini imminentApple’s biggest competitor

will announce a smaller version of its flagship handset Oct. 11, ac-cording to Samsung Mobile Chief JK Shin.

The new phone is expected to have a 4-inch screen, but there aren’t any other solid details. This is presumably so Samsung can have an iPhone 5-sized alternative for those who don’t want to carry the enormous 4.8-inch original model.

And if it’s competitively priced under $199, Apple could face a serious threat to its critical-ly-acclaimed new phone.

Speaking of Apple prob-lems…

2. Apple was warned about MapsIt’s well-documented how

inconsistent Apple’s new Maps application is. Missing addresses, poor-quality satellite images and a complete lack of detail in areas like the Quad only brush the sur-face of the shoddiness of the maps.

But tech blog CNET learned app developers warned Apple about the quality of Maps well before iOS 6 was released to the public.

So was Apple arrogant in forc-ing the change from Google Maps? Possibly. Google has worked on its maps for 10 years — twice the time Apple had before it started development. It’s simply not pos-sible to get the same level of detail in that timespan.

But just like Siri, Apple decid-ed to market Maps as a complete product when it clearly isn’t. A mistake, but CEO Tim Cook apol-ogized and encouraged iOS users to seek mapping alternatives.

What doesn’t make sense is why the company known for its in-sane level of perfection let some-thing like Maps slip out in the first place.

3. Huawei and ZTE accused of potential espionage

China’s biggest tele-communications equipment

manufacturers, Huawei Technolo-gies Co. Ltd. and ZTE Corp. are under the microscope for possibly leaking user information to the Chinese government, according to a report by the U.S. House Intel-ligence Committee.

Committee chairman Mike Rogers appeared on “60 Minutes” and discussed the findings and recommended businesses “find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property; if you care about your consumers’ priva-cy and you care about the national security of the United States of America.”

There are reports of illegal activity such as immigration vio-lations, bribery and corruption by Huawei, according to the House investigation.

The fear is that these two companies could somehow build backdoors in products that allow private information to leak to the Chinese government, according to tech blog The Verge.

Both companies are vehe-mently denying these claims. Huawei said in a statement, the

report “employs many rumors and speculations to prove non existent accusations.”

the docks of Southampton, England , as passengers sang about their antici-pation in boarding the monumental ship.

For the fi rst act, the musical was relatively uneventful. Scenes jumped from following the offi cers to the different classes of passengers. It wasn’t until the end of the fi rst act that the show gained momentum when crew members were perform-ing “No Moon,” and a lookout spied the looming iceberg.

The intensity grew as the crew and passengers joined in the song and stared out past the bow at the nearing iceberg. The curtain fell at the end of the fi rst act, and at the opening of the second, crew mem-bers ordered passengers to wake up from their slumber.

A sense of urgency arose when the offi cers begin to realize the fate of their legendary ship. As the offi -cers found out more about the dam-age received from impact with the block of ice and the lack of lifeboats, they began to grow edgy.

One of the strongest songs of the performance was “The Blame” as Captain Smith , Titanic’s owner Ismay , and shipbuilder Andrews ar-gued about who is to blame for the accident. The men raised their voices and screamed over one another while the radioman attempted to reach nearby ships with an SOS.

The most powerful scene occurred on the boat deck as

passengers boarded the lifeboats to safety. Only the fi rst and second class passengers were present when they were told life boats were re-served for women and children. The anguish of the couples separating was apparent when they said their tearful goodbyes.

The performance was good, but it was not as powerful as expected for an award-winner. For most of the performance, the plot was dull and uneventful. The acting was a bit lacking and it was often hard to hear the actors speaking their lines.

Several times while the actors delivered their lines, the micro-phones cut out, creating a disruption in the magic and reality of the per-formance.

Although the musical was not a comedy, the roles of second-class passenger Alice Beane and her hus-band Edgar provided many laughs

for the audience. Alice desperately wanted to meet the fi rst-class passen-gers, but her husband constantly re-minded her that was not their place.

The role of Ismay , the owner of the Titanic , also drew laughs because Ismay’s job was to constantly annoy the captain about increasing speed so as to make the voyage to America in less than a week. Ismay called the Captain by “E.J.” as a sign of disre-spect and jumps aboard a lifeboat to save his skin.

Overall, the “Titanic” was an evening full of light laughs and good music. The audience was able to enjoy its trip back in time when the Titanic was the world’s “largest moving object.”

When The Last Place You Look jumped on tour with Ten Years and Red Jump Suit Apparatus , the group kicked off a new level of commit-ment to its music.

In addition to beginning the band’s fi rst national tour that spans from the its home state of Texas to the east coast, the members are dedi-cating more time to their careers.

“A little over a week ago, we all quit our jobs to be in the band full time,” said bassist Kevin Pool .

While the band’s full length “See the Light Inside You” arrived in 2010, guitarist Derek Young said this tour provides an opportunity to intro-duce more people to The Last Place You Look. As the tour runs through

new cities for this band, they’ve played to audiences who have never heard the CD previously, Young said .

“It’s freakin’ awesome for us,” Pool reiterated .

Young described the group’s sound as large, anthemic music for the most part.

“It’s got big choruses and re-ally good melodies” he said . “It’s fi st pumping kind of stuff — very ener-getic, but very emotional as well.”

Piercing vocals provide a dis-tinctive quality to the group’s ener-getic presence between its singer, Nava , and Pool’s voices, Young said . He described Nava’s vocals as bari-tone — low and burly.

“Kevin’s got more of a tenor voice that just kind of glides on top of it,” Young added .

The group’s setlist often

features “Band to Save Me,” which alludes to the musical group that spurs one’s motivation.

“It’s pretty much all about fi nd-ing that one band that inspires you to write music or do something great with your life,” Young said . “I think everybody’s got that one band.”

Pool and Young cited Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday as huge infl uences for The Last Place You Look , along with others.

“Those bands that have been slugging it out for a long time, that don’t play stadiums all the time, that play these kinds of clubs – those guys have become an inspiration for us as well,” Young said .

renditions adapted to the band’s unique sound. Drummond said fans reacted positively to the change.

“We updated the songs and put a little BTE spin on them,” he said. “It’s not like we were trying to make hits. The songs were all hits from their era.”

In November, the band will head to Los Angeles to record its eighth studio album. Drummond said the new album will rely less on pro-tools and computer automation to create a “cool vibes, band-in-a-room” sort of atmosphere.

He said gimmicks, over-produc-tion and lack of content often plague present-day rock bands, which is why the group will meticulously pre-pare before the album’s release.

“We want to make sure we have more than enough songs than we need,” he said “We want it to be a quality album. We don’t like to put out fl uff.”

Dedication and love for music are what kept the 24-year-old band together, Drummond said. He said the band puts a heavy focus on writ-ing, performing and enjoying itself.

When the trio isn’t working together as a group, Drummond said its members still dabble in the music industry. He is usually at his studio

in New Orleans, and Kevin Griffi n, the band’s lead singer, writes music for other artists.

“It’s good because it keeps us in touch with everything that’s going on and still allows us to do what we love,” he said.

A lot has changed since the band’s fi rst performance at the now-obsolete Murphy’s Bar in 1988, in-cluding a change of line-up involv-ing band drummer Michael Jerome.

Drummond reminisced on touring and the wild crowds of the ’90s, when the group climbed from fraternity favorites to nationally ac-claimed rock stars.

“Obviously, our life expanses have changed quite bit from when you’re basically in a band to get girls and get free beer,” he said.

Now, as most of the group members have families and young children, life on the road will change. But Drummond said the band will rekindle its touring roots shortly af-ter the release of its eighth studio al-bum next summer.

Friday’s concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40.

A stroll through the Uni-versity’s campus yields not only stately oaks and broad magnolias, but a Quad where Facility Ser-vices trucks roam free and streets where vehicles zoom by and may or may not stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.

It’s almost impossible to walk anywhere on campus without en-countering or crossing a street along the way. But students don’t even need to be near a road to be in danger of moving vehicles.

Last week, a student loung-ing in the Quad received a rude awakening when a Facility Ser-vices truck rolled over him.

Wednesday evening, Jinjuta Jirawatjunya, an international master’s student in food science, was struck by a car while cross-ing Nicholson Drive on her way to campus.

If those incidents aren’t enough to indicate a developing trend, let us not forget about last year’s slew of hit-and-runs, car-on-pedestrian collisions and re-sulting injuries.

An LSU cheerleader struck on River Road sustained a con-cussion, a hematoma and neck and vertebrae injuries. A Food Science Department staff mem-ber hit in a South Campus Drive crosswalk suffered a broken leg. A couple on East Boyd Drive was taken down in a hit-and-run and left in critical condition.

These are more than just a handful of freak accidents. A red flag should have been raised long ago.

What’s necessary for a call to action? What are campus officials and Baton Rouge city planners waiting for?

Accidents aren’t only

happening in the middle of roads. Sidewalks, or a lack thereof, are a huge problem in Baton Rouge.

Neither East Boyd Drive, home to two popular student bars, nor Burbank Drive, littered with student apartment complexes and food joints, have pedestrian sidewalks. Students who elect to take the responsible route and not drive intoxicated may be in even greater danger on foot, due to the absence of sidewalks.

If a few sidewalks are too much to ask, would it be com-pletely out of the question to re-quest bike lanes, too?

Bicyclists are supposed to share the road with motorists, but Baton Rouge drivers often don’t know how to react to the two-wheeled, pedal-power apparatus. Neither do pedestrians.

Drivers speed past cyclists, inch behind them until they’re forced to move or do all they can to push them to the sidewalk. Once pushed to the sidewalk, bike-riders are greeted by an-noyed and nervous walkers who glare and spitefully get in the way.

In January, 31-year-old cy-clist Daniel Morris was struck and killed by a drunk driver on Perkins Road. Not long before Morris’s death, Jason Michael Stablier, 27, was also killed by a gasoline-guzzling machine on Perkins.

Cyclists are no match for 4,000-pound steel contraptions. They need a designated space just as pedestrians need sidewalks and vehicles need lanes on the road.

Safer roads, sidewalks and bike lanes may help students shed the all-too-common, “I like LSU, but not Baton Rouge” sentiment.

The University needs more greenspace and routes to class

where students can avoid cam-pus’ streets clogged with Tiger Trails buses. A pedestrian campus is worth considering as well.

It’s time student safety is

made a citywide priority. How many more University commu-nity members need to be hurt be-fore a change is made? We don’t want to wait around much longer

to find out.

In response to Tyler Nunez’s sports column, “Student section needs to grow up,” readers had this to say:

“I am a student and I’ll admit, I used to join in on some of the chants. Granted, I’m in my second

time around in college and I’m older than most people in the stu-dent section, but there was a clear point where I decided that enough was enough. Once things got lewd and overly profane, I stopped. My friend, a grad student, and I go to the games and when we hear younger students behind us say-ing the profane/lewd chants, we always say something to them about how they are the reason we get songs taken away. We always discourage people from scream-ing those things because, like the article says, it doesn’t look good on our student body. I recognize the work the band puts into learn-ing new songs, and it is incredibly

unfair that they practice for hours every week and their hard work is thrown away when students start profane chants. Be proud of your school, your team, and your band! LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD! GEAUX TIGERS!”- ctumin1

In response to the news story, “Supreme Court to hear alumna’s case,” readers had this to say:

“It’s worth mentioning that Fisher claims she would have got-ten a better job with a degree from UT than her degree from LSU. This is a ridiculous claim against our university. She had every

opportunity to improve her grades and scores in order to get into a Texas public university. She’s not entitled to attend her top choice if she can’t meet the requirements. Not to mention the people that benefit most from affirmative ac-tion are in fact white women like herself.”- Heidi

In response to Chris Ortte’s col-umn, “Natural gas: what’s really at stake,” readers had this to say:

“Natural gas is the future of energy. It is replacing dirty, dangerous, expensive coal and nuclear plants. It is producing the

electricity for electric cars. It will directly fuel cars, pickup trucks, vans, buses, long haul trucks, dump trucks, locomotives, air-craft, ships, etc. It will keep us out of more useless wars, where we shed our blood and money.

If the United States ever became a communist country, its name would be New New Jersey.

You’re probably thinking this is a truly ridiculous idea. If so, you’ve stolen the words New Jersey Gov. Chris Chris-tie used to describe the move to raise the state’s minimum wage to $8.25, while adding it to the state’s constitution.

This “ridiculous” piece of state leg-islation affects us all the way down in the bayou, especially the country’s future leaders — college students.

The argument is that New Jersey is one of the nation’s most expensive states, with gas prices close to $10 and families unable to get by on the federal minimum wage.

To demystify the embellishment of unaffordable gas prices, the Lukoil North America company is the lone advertiser of such high gas prices, and store owner Khaled Kezbari is charging customers a modest $3.79, according to ABC News.

New Jersey may be one of the most expensive states, but the more expensive state across the river, New York, isn’t raising the minimum wage.

And the claim that families are more likely to earn the federal minimum wage than the young, single or never-married is false.

“Among employed teenagers paid by the hour, about 23 percent earned the min-imum wage or less, compared with about 3 percent of workers age 25 and over,” ac-cording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The increase of gym, tan and laundry prices would have been a better argument than to raise minimum wage.

In 2009, New Jersey’s minimum wage was increased to $7.25. Only three years have passed and already the work-ers of Jersey are asking for more.

As the saying goes, give a mouse a cookie, and he’ll want milk.

The real bad guy here is infl ation. New Jersey Senate President Steve Swee-ney is advocating a change to the state’s constitution that would increase the mini-mum wage with infl ation.

But a constitution is a manual on the “can” and “cannots” of regulations, not the regulation itself.

The purpose of minimum wage is to ensure a basic standard of living, but stan-dards are individually decided and sub-jective in nature.

Therefore, increasing wages would increase infl ation. A focus on monetary and fi scal policies would help slow the rise of infl ation, not increasing wages.

Minimum wage is a price control. Price controls aim to help, but they often hurt those it was intended to help by re-ducing, in this case, the number of jobs.

Employers are forced to pay higher prices for low-skilled labor, so instead of hiring the expensive worker, they will turn to a more effi cient, cheaper option — usually a machine.

The end result will always be a higher rate of unemployment. More unemploy-ment means more people on welfare. And the more the government spends, the more taxes we have to pay.

Taxes reduce income, and at the rate minimum wage is increasing, there will not be a difference between wealth and poverty — what does that sound like?

Think about it: We wouldn’t know wealth without poverty. Life is cruel, but poverty will always exist.

The only country in recent history without poverty was the Soviet Union.

We all know how that story ends.

HEAD to HEAD

Help. Raising the minimum wage maintains quality of life.Hurt. Businesses will be discouraged from hiring new sta� .

It seems like every year, the price of everything goes up just a little bit.

University tuition has almost doubled over the past four years . Gas prices are constantly on the rise. A simple loaf of bread has quadrupled in price since the year I was born .

People who know more about eco-nomics than I do will tell you it’s natural for our currency to infl ate over time.

But it doesn’t take a degree in fi nance to see that as prices rise, people will need more money to afford basic staples of ev-eryday life.

Democratic legislators in New Jersey have proposed a new amendment to their state constitution that will, if passed, en-sure that this will no longer be a problem for their citizens.

The amendment would immediately increase the minimum wage in New Jer-sey to $8.25 an hour . More importantly though, the amendment provides for year-ly increases to the minimum wage based on the Consumer Price Index.

This amendment is exactly the type of far-reaching legislation we need in a na-tionally diffi cult time like this.

In her book “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America,” Barbara Ehrenreich tells her story of giving up life as a well-fed, well-paid college professor and traveling across the country, working several minimum wage jobs.

Ehrenreich’s results were simple but telling –– she ended up working 16-hour days, living in motels and skipping meals just to support herself, all the while deal-ing with hostile bosses and medical prob-lems caused by her jobs.

The fact is that it’s simply not fea-sible for people to support themselves on minimum wage — nevermind supporting a family. Combined with the fact that 5.2 percent of American workers earn mini-mum wage or less, it paints a harrowing picture of life for a group we tend to ig-nore.

But raising the minimum wage has benefi ts other than actually helping peo-ple, – which I know is just a reprehensible idea to some.

A higher minimum wage means more people will actually be able to sustain an acceptable quality of life through their jobs. These people then might not be so reliant on government entitlements for such outrageous luxuries as cell phones or refrigerators.

But in New Jersey, even opponents of the amendment concede that the minimum wage needs to be increased. What Gov. Chris Christie considers “a truly ridicu-lous idea” is amending the state constitu-tion as opposed to going through regular legislative avenues.

Ignoring the fact that Christie is just feeling a little emasculated because those meanie Democrats got around his power of veto, I think the New Jerseyans are onto something.

By amending their constitution, the New Jersey legislators are preparing for the future, when minimum wage will un-doubtedly need to be raised again. And by using the nonpolitical Consumer Price In-dex, it would ensure everyone’s needs are met without the need for this endless, tire-some debate every year.

Both Democrats and Republicans say they want a smoother-running govern-ment without the deadlock. But now that a real, creative solution has been raised, everyone’s got their pitchforks out, say-ing, “That’s not how we do things around here.”
