The LSU Board of Supervi-sors will hold a special meeting today to potentially approve the hiring of F. King Alexander to the newly created president of LSU position.

The meeting will also include an executive session to discuss the multiple public records requests submitted for the names of the can-didates involved in the search for a new president.

The executive session discus-sion comes under threat of a law-suit against the University over the confi dentiality of the presidential search, which at one point yielded more than 30 potential candidates.

Alexander was offi cially an-nounced March 18 as the sole fi nalist in the search for LSU’s president, which will encom-pass the system president and chancellor positions.

The University’s student lead-ership is disconnected from the student body, said Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins on Tuesday at the “Chats with the Chancellor” forum held for students in the Student Union .

The forum was the second of two events Jenkins held to al-low students and faculty to voice their concerns about University is-sues, and the fi rst forum on March 20 was primarily for faculty. The main focus of Tuesday’s chat was

the dissonance between the Uni-versity’s student leaders and most of the student body, which Jenkins and students in attendance said is one of the primary concerns divid-ing the campus.

“We’ve got to solve this,” Jen-kins said. “It’s never a good thing having student leadership that’s disconnected.”

The recent Student Govern-ment election process is one of multiple events that have created controversy and frustration within the University community, said ISDS sophomore Bryce Bourgeois.

“My main concern is Student Government and the way

it’s viewed on campus because ob-viously students aren’t doing the best job,” Bourgeois said. “Stuff like this really hurts the reputation of Student Government. There’s a low regard for SG.”

SG President Taylor Cox said Student Media, especially The Daily Reveille, contributes to the problem by not covering the posi-tive things SG does.

Jenkins said he was worried about University student leader-ship in general. The discourse among student organizations is the main issue with the University’s

Kerry in Paris to discuss aid to Syrian opposition, situation in Mali

PARIS (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Paris for talks with French offi cials about aid to the Syrian opposition and the situation in Mali.

Kerry arrived in the French capital Tuesday on the last leg of a fi ve-nation trip that also took him to Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan with President Barack Obama and then on his own to Iraq and Afghanistan.

France is one of several Euro-pean nations that would like to send aid to the Syrians.

North Korea puts artillery forces at highest-level combat posture

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea’s military warned Tuesday that its artillery and rock-et forces are at their highest-level combat posture in the latest in a string of bellicose threats aimed at South Korea and the United States.

The announcement came as South Koreans marked the third anniversary of the sinking of a warship in which 46 South Korean sailors died. Seoul says the ship was hit by a North Ko-rean torpedo, while the North denies involvement.

North Dakota gears up for heavy dispute on new abortion laws

BISMARCK (AP) — North Dako-ta’s governor positioned the state Tuesday as a primary battleground in the fi ght over abortion rights, signing into law the nation’s toughest restric-tion on the procedure.

Minutes after Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed three anti-abortion measures — one banning them as early as six weeks into a pregnancy — unsolicited dona-tions began pouring into the state’s lone abortion clinic to help op-ponents prove the new laws are unconstitutional.

Man pleads not guilty to charges of extorting a Texas A&M professor

HOUSTON (AP) — A Louisiana man has pleaded not guilty to ex-torting money from a Texas A&M University professor about a week before the professor jumped to his death from a campus building in January.

A Houston judge on Tuesday or-dered the 37-year-old Metairie, La., man to remain jailed without bond.

Prosecutors say the defendant lured 59-year-old communications professor James Arnt Aune into a sexually explicit online relationship with who he thought was an under-age girl.

(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal’s tax restructuring plan would shift $500 million in tax costs from individuals to businesses, the governor’s leader on the effort said Tuesday.

Tim Barfi eld, executive coun-sel for the Department of Revenue, said that though business tax costs would grow, the governor’s plan would benefi t companies by giving them increased stability and sim-plicity.

He also renewed his claims that nearly all households would see a tax break from the governor’s plan, providing lawmakers with re-worked data after complaints from a group of ministers that the previous analysis didn’t take into account.Jury � nds man guilty in the murders of his former girlfriend and her son

(AP) — An East Feliciana Parish man has been convicted in the 2008 slaying of his former girlfriend and her 3-year-old son and the attempted killing of two of the woman’s other children in a park near Zachary.

A Baton Rouge jury of 10 women and two men deliberated for about two hours Monday be-fore fi nding Dominique Dantoni Smith guilty on two counts each of fi rst-degree murder and attempted fi rst-degree murder.

Chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas and other apes being lost to trade

BANGKOK (AP) — The multibil-lion-dollar trade in illegal wildlife — clandestine traffi cking that has driven iconic creatures like the ti-ger to near-extinction — is also threatening the survival of great apes, a new U.N. report says.

Endangered chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas and bonobos are disappearing from the wild in frightening numbers, as private owners pay top dollar for exotic pets, while zoos, amusement parks and traveling circuses clamor for smuggled primates to entertain audiences.

Storm blasts East with cold weather, snow; temperatures rose on Tuesday

HAMBURG, Pa. (AP) — The calendar says it’s spring, but the weather hardly feels like it.

A large storm system that de-posited snow, sleet and cold rain on much of the East Coast was fi nally expected to taper off over-night Tuesday, to be replaced by partly sunny skies and tempera-tures in the 40s by late Tuesday morning or early afternoon.

Monday’s storm forced many East Coast schools to open late or close early, and hundreds of fl ights were canceled. But it was mainly an annoyance.

A recent study by the U.S. Cen-ters for Disease Control and Preven-tion showed young American drivers are more likely to use their phones while driving, and students agree it is a common and dangerous problem.

According to the report, 69 per-cent of American drivers had talked on their cell phones while driving in the last 30 days. It also found 31 percent of drivers admitted to reading or sending text messages or emails while driving, with the most common texting offenders being between 18 and 24 years old.

According to the Ad Council, a driver who’s texting is 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision.

Many University students agree texting and driving is a hazard on the road, but still admit to doing so.

Chemical engineering sopho-more Brady Smith said he will oc-casionally text and drive, but said there is definitely danger involved. Smith also said he believes so many college-aged people text and drive because they feel the need to provide an immediate response.

Economics sophomore Zach Taylor said he agrees college-aged people have a constant need for contact in the age of social media, leading to an increase in distracted driving. Taylor said his cousin was involved in a bad car wreck because of texting. He said he does not text

and drive.Spokesman for the LSU Police

Department Capt. Cory Lalonde said texting and driving is a major issue but is particularly difficult to enforce because of the language in the law.

Out of the 1,825 traffic citations issued by LSUPD for the calendar year of 2012, only four of those were issued for texting while driving. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office also had a low number of citations while covering a much larger geo-graphical area, issuing only 65 be-tween January 2012 and March 2013.

According to the Louisiana Re-vised Statute 32:300.5, “no person shall operate any motor vehicle upon any public road or highway of this state while using a wireless telecom-munications device to write, send or read a text-based communication.”

However, things get tricky when the law goes on to state, “a person shall not be deemed to be writing, reading or sending a text message if the person reads, selects or enters a telephone number or name in a

wireless telecommunications device for the purpose of making a tele-phone call.”

Lalonde said this part of the law makes it difficult to determine if a person was actually texting and not using his or her phone to make a phone call.

“Just because they have their phone in their hand doesn’t mean they’re texting,” Lalonde said.

Lalonde said texting is no less of a concern than drinking and driving, but unless an officer has definitive proof, police are not able to issue a citation for texting.

Biology freshman Logan Burnsed said he was involved in a collision while he was in the passen-ger’s seat of a friend’s vehicle. He was showing the driver a text when the car they were in was “t-boned”.

“A driver’s No. 1 responsibil-ity is to operate the vehicle in a safe manner,” Lalonde said.

The field of horticulture is still growing — literally — and its latest manifestation at the Univer-sity is a class where the students’ lab is a farm.

Bob Mirabello, horticul-ture instructor, said students in his HORT 2070 lab class learn about plant propagation and gain practical experience using vari-ous methods. The class meets ev-ery Tuesday afternoon at the Hill Farm near the University Student Recreational Complex, where stu-dents are able to watch the entire seed-to-plant growth process, Mi-rabello said.

The students grow a variety of plants to use in lab experiments that include grafting one type of plant onto another or testing dif-ferent rooting hormones, Mirabel-lo said. Just about anything from tomatoes to roses to olive trees is grown at the farm, and students are welcome to take any leftovers home.

Mirabello said the course fo-cuses on commercial plant propa-gation methods that are used for large-scale production. The practi-cal horticulture training the course provides is vital, he said.

“Everything we do in horti-culture … is based upon how you grow the plants, how you start the plants off,” Mirabello said. “If [students] go into nursery produc-tion, even if they become land-scape contractors, they see how the plants are produced.”

Although some lab days re-quire a lot of tedious cutting and transplanting, horticulture junior Becky Lewis said the class is in-teresting and enjoyable because of its hands-on nature.

“Every class is like a field trip,” Lewis said. “We get to go outside — we don’t have to sit through a boring lecture.”

Mike Adams, who is retired and working on a third under-graduate degree, joked that he is “taking a hobby too far,” but said a horticulture degree and the 2070 class in particular illuminate a broader spectrum of backyard gardening, which many people do for fun.

“You can’t read about it and get it right the first time, but hav-ing someone with experience show you exactly what you’re do-ing right and wrong, you pick it up a lot more quickly,” Adams said.

Mirabello said the class is a “grand experiment” because this is the first semester it has been

taught. It is a combination of the lab components of the general horticulture and plant propagation courses, which are in the process of being approved by the Univer-sity as a general education science sequence, he said.

Those two classes, as well as the 2070 class, are open to non-horticulture majors, but Mirabello said the general education se-quence would give students from other majors an incentive to take courses that may already interest them.

Mirabello said horticulture appeals to a large audience and intersects with many other fields of study. Education majors, for example, could use horticulture curriculum to teach elementary school students about biology, he said.

Horticulture touches every person on the planet, meaning the field is still evolving, Mirabello said.

Mirabello said people have recently become more in touch with their food and where it comes from, creating a growing interest in small-scale sustainable agri-culture. This trend benefits local economies in Louisiana because the state’s commercial horticul-ture industry declined when states

such as California grew their pro-duction, he said.

“That niche has been created, and we see a lot of our students coming in [are] now interested in doing small-scale horticulture production — vegetables, fruit crops, looking at local markets, farmers markets,” Mirabello said.

Horticulture also includes landscaping, which Mirabello said is important because people value visual impressions. While people could live without manicured

flower beds and lawns, efforts such as campus beautification are significant, he said.

“People have not lost their in-terest in pretty things and the food they eat, so the opportunities for our students is continually evolv-ing, and there’s always going to be a place for it,” Mirabello said.

Students arrested for tearing down fences at Sig Ep fraternity house

CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS

LSU Police Department of-fi cers observed two males ap-proach the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house on March 22 and tear down a temporary fence for an upcoming party, according to LSUPD Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

William R. White, 19-year-old student of 553 Fairway Drive in Woodstock, Ga., and Blaine H. Tatje, 19-year-old marketing stu-dent of 108 Lakewood Drive in Laplace, were arrested for crimi-nal damage, Lalonde said.

White was uncooperative and refused to sign his misde-meanor court summons, accord-ing to Lalonde.

White was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for resisting arrest and criminal dam-age and Tatje was issued his sum-mons and release.

Student arrested for stealing $210 sunglasses from the UREC

LSUPD received a call from a person whose sunglasses were stolen during a workout in the University Student Recreation Complex, Lalonde said.

Through investigation of se-curity cameras, LSUPD identi-fi ed and arrested Maya Morad, 21-year-old biological sciences

student of 405 Arabella Blvd., Lafayette, for misdemeanor theft, Lalonde said.

The victim valued the sun-glasses at $210, and Morad was issued a misdemeanor summons and released.

Student arrested for three counts of battery of an of� cer, criminal mischief

LSUPD found Dylan J. Malbrough, 19-year-old pre-engineering student, drunkenly throwing rocks at a stop sign. When the offi cer approached, Malbrough walked away and started shouting obscenities, Lalonde said.

When the offi cer attempted to detain him, Malbrough began to kick him. The offi cers arrested Malbrough and he was booked in EBR Parish Prison.

Three students arrested for buying and selling marijuana on campus

An LSUPD offi cer was pa-trolling near the tennis court lot and saw three people huddled around a parked car. When he approached, one of the men sped off in his car, Lalonde said.

The offi cer identifi ed the oth-er two as Jacob Aaron Gonzales, 19-year-old petroleum engineer-ing student of 5029 Oak Bayou Drive in Marrero, and Nicholas Burke, 19-year-old mechani-cal engineering student of 3313 Maryland Avenue in Kenner. The offi cer found out that Gonzales

and the student who drove off – James Ryan Mendez, 19-year-old electrical engineering student of 1933 Mediamolle Drive in New Orleans – sold Burke one gram of marijuana for $20, Lalonde said.

LSUPD also found three grams of marijuana in Gonza-les’ car. Mendez and Gonzales were arrested for distribution of marijuana and booked in EBR Parish Prison. Burke was is-sued a misdemeanor summons and released.

Student arrested for possession of ecstasy and resisting arrest

LSUPD approached a group of suspicious people around a group of cars, and upon see-ing the police, David A. Foland, 21-year-old international trade and fi nance student, of 910 Ben Hur Road, hid between two ve-hicles, Lalonde said.

The offi cer saw Foland drop a glass smoking pipe and found a small plastic bag of powder ecstasy. When arresting him, Fo-land resisted LSUPD, Lalonde said.

Foland was arrested for pos-session of ecstasy and resisting arrest and was booked in EBR Parish Prison, Lalonde said.

NEW ORLEANS — Before the LSU baseball season started, LSU senior All-American Raph Rhymes said if anyone was going to break his plus-.400 batting av-erage from last season, it would be freshman shortstop Alex Breg-man.

Bregman is well on his way to doing that as he helped LSU (23-2, 5-1 Southeastern Confer-ence) beat Tulane 14-1 Tuesday evening (14-13) at Turchin Sta-dium in New Orleans. Bregman went four for four, reaching base on four consecutive singles. He

extended his hitting streak to 14 games and his three-hit hitting streak to five games.

After being named South-eastern Conference player of the week and Louisiana Sports Writers Association hitter of the week, Bregman continued his dominance with a team-leading .443 batting average.

“The kid is just flat-out a re-ally good hitter,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri.

Bregman had four of LSU’s 15 hits and three of LSU’s 14 runs.

“When you see a guy who’s that naturally gifted but work that hard, it comes out on the field,” said senior first baseman Mason Katz, who had three hits and four RBIs of his own. “It’s fun to play alongside somebody like that.”

The Tigers started the game

with a five-run first inning and have scored in the first inning in their last five games.

“When we get runners on in the first inning, we feel like if we capitalize there, it’s going to pay off later in the game and so we really focus on the first,” Breg-man said.

The Tigers scored five runs in both the first and eighth in-nings, twice in the second inning, and once in the third and fourth innings. Of the nine batters in the starting lineup, all but junior sec-ond baseman JaCoby Jones and junior third baseman Christian Ibarra got hits.

Junior designated hitter Sean McMullen had his second start as the Tigers’ leadoff hitter, driv-ing in three runs. Mainieri has

SEVEN HEAVEN

LSU’s NFL hopefuls have one more hurdle before next month’s NFL Draft: Pro Day.

For NFL coaches and scouts in attendance, it’s one of the last times they can see players in per-son before deciding to add them to their team.

There are 28 former Tigers who will strut their stuff in the LSU Football Practice Facility today to try and find a landing spot on an NFL roster.

Here are some questions LSU football fans should find out the answers to at LSU’s Pro Day:

1. Can Barkevious Mingo upstage his NFL Combine numbers?

Despite putting up ridiculous numbers at the NFL Combine, defensive end Barkevious Mingo has seen his stock fall in recent NFL mock drafts. Multiple draft websites are now projecting Min-go to land with the New Orleans Saints at pick No. 15.

At one point, Mingo was considered a lock to go in the top 10 of the draft, but for some reason, he has dropped out of that range.

Lady Tigers upset Penn State with seven players, advance to Sweet 16

Tyler NunezSports Writer

ANGELA MAJOR / The Daily Reveille

LSU senior guard Adrienne Webb (10) looks con�dently into the crowd Tuesday during the �nal seconds of the Lady Tigers’ 71-66 victory against Penn State in the PMAC. Webb scored 29 points in the win.

The No. 6 seed LSU women’s basketball team earned a berth in the Sweet 16 with a 71-66 victory against No. 3 seed Penn State on

Tuesday night in the PMAC in a game that went down to the wire.

LSU senior guard Adrienne Webb lifted the short-handed Lady Tigers past Penn State in a re-match of last season’s second round game between the teams.

Webb shot 10-for-16 from the floor and 7-for-9 from the free throw line for a career-high 29 points in the contest.

“I knew as one of two seniors that I had to play my hardest in our last game,” Webb said. “It’s win and advance or lose and go home.”

LSU looked strong coming out of the gates, leading by as many as eight midway through the first half. But the Lady Tigers allowed the Lady Lions to finish the period on a 15-4 run, and LSU went into the locker room facing a 42-35 deficit.

The Lady Tigers came out firing once again in the second half, opening on a 10-0 run in the first three minutes of period to regain the lead.

“Coach fired us up in the locker room at half-time,” Webb said. “... We really took to heart what she said and came out and executed in the second half.”

LSU’s hot hand turned cold midway through the period, allowing Penn State to regain control with a 60-55 lead. LSU senior guard Bianca Lutley finally put an end to a six-minute scoring drought with a 3-pointer to cut Penn State’s lead to two with 6:10 remaining.

Webb hit a 3-pointer with just more than three minutes left to put LSU back on top, and, from there, a dogfight ensued — neither team willing to give in.

Trailing by one with less than a minute remain-ing, Lutley hit a tough shot down low to give the Lady Tigers a lead they would never relinquish.

Lutley also had a big night, shooting 7-for-10

SWEET 16, see page 7

After having its nine-game winning streak broken by South Carolina on Sunday, the No. 13 LSU softball team came out with ven-geance Tuesday night in a 5-1 vic-tory against Southeastern Louisiana University.

The Tigers (28-6, 7-2 South-eastern Conference) were held to only five hits against the Gamecocks last weekend, but the batting barrage began early for LSU against the Li-ons on Tuesday. Freshman shortstop Bianka Bell got things rolling with an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning, and redshirt junior sec-ond baseman Allison Falcon hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the squad’s second run.

Sophomore designated player Rikki Alcaraz added an RBI double to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead, pro-viding a cushion for junior starting pitcher Meghan Patterson to work with. The squad hasn’t lost a game when it’s scored in the first inning.

“We were all pretty down from Sunday, and we were all thinking that we had to stay within ourselves and just apply the pressure to them today, make things happen, make plays and hit the ball better than we did Sunday,” Bell said.

Patterson said she enjoyed hav-ing run support behind her before she went to the mound again in the top of the second inning.

“In the past couple of games when I pitched, the team struggled to score runs for me, so when they busted out those three runs, I was really excited and it got me pumped up,” Patterson said.

Patterson was dominant on the mound for LSU, tossing six-and-two-thirds innings of scoreless base-ball, striking out seven and walking two. Patterson was replaced by Bell in the pitcher’s circle to begin the seventh inning, but a bases-loaded

jam forced LSU coach Beth Torina to bring her starter back in.

Patterson responded by allow-ing only one run to cross the plate, charged to Bell, and sealing the squad’s 28th victory of the year.

“Coming back in, I wasn’t ner-vous at all,” Patterson said. “I was still warm. I just focused on my pitches one at a time because I didn’t really want to look at just striking them out. I didn’t want to give up any hits in that situation.”

Meanwhile, the Tigers offense carried on throughout the night, as Bell and junior third baseman Tam-my Wray each blasted solo home runs to give the team five runs for the day. Both Bell and Wray have seven home runs in the 2013 cam-paign.

“[The home runs are] definitely a good thing,” Bell said. “We’re def-initely trying to make things happen

for our team, and good things are happening for both of us. It’s good to have someone to compete with like that, and it’s making me a better player, and I’m sure it’s making her a better player.”

The Tigers travel to Mobile, Ala., to take on No. 25 South Ala-bama (27-5) tonight. The Jaguars have won four in a row, and their offense has seven different players with multiple home runs and dou-ble-digit RBIs.

“It’s a long road trip for us, but we’re going to bring our A game,” Torina said. “We’re going to bring everything we’ve got to them be-cause we understand they’re a quality program.”

The No. 14 LSU men’s golf team struggled in the final round of the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercolle-giate in Awendaw, S.C., on Tuesday, posting a score of 25-over 889 to fin-ish in fifth place.

The Tigers began the day with a one-shot lead over No. 9 Duke but posted a team round of 12-over 300 and finished 15 shots behind the Blue Devils.

Duke shot 4-under as a team in the final round to win by three strokes over North Carolina State.

Junior Andrew Presley posted rounds of 1-under 71 and even-par on Monday and began the final round in third place, one shot behind the co-leaders. He had three bogies

in round one and two bogies and a double-bogey in round two.

His final round was not as clean. Presley bogeyed each of his first three holes and two of his last four holes to finish the round at 4-over and the tournament at 3-over 219, good for a tie for seventh.

Sophomore Curtis Thompson was the next-best finisher for LSU. Thompson struggled with a 5-over first round but rebounded with an even-par second round and a team-best 1-over final round to finish the tournament tied for 17th.

In the final round, Thompson triple-bogied the 11th hole and bo-geyed the 12th, but recovered to birdie two of his last four holes.

Sophomore Stewart Jolly posted rounds of 6-over, 1-under and 3-over to finish the tournament at 8-over,

good for a tie for 22nd. Freshman Zach Wright shot

2-under in the second round and finished tied for 33rd after posting a score of 11-over for the week. Soph-omore Myles Lewis finished in a tie for 43rd after shooting 13-over for the week.

North Carolina State junior Lo-gan Harrell started the final round in a tie for seventh but shot 6-under on the day to win the tournament by one stroke over Duke junior Austin Cody.

The Tigers will return to action on April 6 at the Aggie Invitational in College Station, Texas.

for 18 points in addition to six as-sists and two steals.

With the absence of junior guard Jeanne Kenney due to a head injury suffered late in LSU’s fi rst round game against Green Bay, the Lady Tigers were limited to seven players on their roster against Penn State.

“When you think about this team and what they did tonight without Jeanne Kenney, it was just a courageous effort,” said LSU coach Nikki Caldwell.

Caldwell said the players ral-lied around Kenney in prepara-tion for the contest.

“We did not want our last game of the season to be played with seven players,” Webb said. “All seven of us got together and played for our fans and everyone who has supported us, and we also played for Jeanne.”

Penn State center Nikki Greene was the driving force for the Lady Lions, posting 16 points and 16 rebounds.

LSU will travel to Spokane, Wash., where it will take on No. 2-seed California for the pro-gram’s fi rst Sweet 16 appear-ance since 2008 and Caldwell’s fi rst appearance of her head coaching career.

switched the leadoff hitter several times, testing sophomore outfi elder Chris Sciambra, freshman outfi eld-er Andrew Stevenson and Jones in the spot.

“I just had a gut feeling — give this kid a chance and see if he can’t be a spark plug at the top of the order,” Mainieri said.

The early, high-scoring game gave freshman pitcher Russell Reynolds more time to settle his admitted butterfl ies on his fi rst start away from home.

Reynolds pitched his longest game yet, throwing 96 pitches in seven innings. He allowed four hits and one run and struck out four batters. Mainieri said Reynolds

looked nervous at the beginning of the game.

“After he came off the mound in the third inning, I said, ‘Don’t hit or walk another leadoff hitter tonight if you want to continue to pitch,’” Mainieri said. “So he was inspired.”

After the pep-talk, Mainieri said Reynolds threw the ball well, especially in the fourth through sixth innings.

The Tigers will travel to Missouri (8-12, 2-4 SEC) on Fri-day for a three-game series in Columbia.

The question is whether Mingo will be able to get back in consideration to be taken in the top 10 picks with an unreal per-formance today. Either way, who-ever drafts him will be getting a player who has the potential to be a game-changer at the next level.

2. Can Sam Montgomery im-prove stock despite comments?

I loved interviewing Mont-gomery while covering LSU football. He was the one guy you could ask questions and know he was giving you the God-honest truth.

The only problem is, some-times telling the truth can get you in trouble — or in this case, cost you millions of dollars. At the NFL Combine , Montgomery explained how he didn’t view all games at LSU the same.

“Defi nitely some weeks that we didn’t have to play the harder teams, there were some times that effort wasn’t needed,” Montgom-ery said at the NFL Combine . “But it was different when we had the big boys and everything com-ing in — the ‘Bamas or a South Carolina, and I’d grab real close to those guys and go all out for them.”

Montgomery’s draft stock has fallen signifi cantly since the combine, whether it was for the comments or his substandard combine performance. He needs to have a big day today.

3. What kind of numbers will Tyrann Mathieu put up?

Mathieu didn’t play a snap in the 2012 season, so he doesn’t have any recent fi lm to show to

NFL scouts. He needs an impres-sive Pro Day to improve his stock.

The 2011 Heisman Trophy fi -nalist posted a 4.50 40-yard dash number and a 34-inch vertical jump at the NFL combine . If he hopes to get taken before Day 3 of the draft, he needs to have an excellent showing today.

4. How will LSU players from past seasons fare?

Former LSU quarterback Jarrett Lee will throw passes to wide receiver Russell Shepard at Pro Day . Lee played with the San Diego Chargers in the 2012 NFL preseason before being cut.

Offensive linemen Will Blackwell and T-Bob Hebert , who were let go in the last round of cuts prior to the season by the Carolina Panthers and St. Louis Rams, respectively, will be in at-tendance. Other Tigers from past seasons participating include Kar-nell Hatcher , Jordan Jefferson , Alex Russian and Charles Scott .

5. How will Russell Shepard perform?

Shepard might be one of the

more intriguing players in the 2013 NFL Draft . He was a late addition to the Senior Bowl de-spite not being invited to the NFL Combine .

The former fi ve-star quar-terback out of high school hasn’t put up any offi cial numbers yet, but has tweeted he ran a sub-4.40 mark in the 40-yard dash. There’s no way Shepard goes in the fi rst two days of the draft, but an im-pressive showing today could raise some eyebrows on NFL scouts.

Shepard never lived up to the sky-high expectations LSU fans had for him in purple and gold, but he has a chance to make his mark in the NFL with no one pay-ing him any attention.

Marriage is dead — and no, gays didn’t kill it.

Nearly 80 percent of Ameri-cans under age 30 support gay marriage, according to CNN.

This is no surprise. Younger people, both liberal and conser-vative, are in agreement when it comes to gay marriage. We tend to divide ourselves on issues such as taxes, economic principles, gun rights and abortion — much more so than on the issue of gay marriage.

This was not the same 10 years ago. The rise in support for gay marriage has been sudden and immense.

The CNN article explained that while young, heterosexual Americans tend to support gay marriage, they consider them-selves less likely than ever to get married.

In short, support for gay mar-riage has gone up, and the incli-nation to enter a traditional mar-riage has gone down.

We have to ask ourselves why this has become the prevail-ing trend.

The easy, go-to statistic is divorce rates. Half of all first marriages end in divorce, and the likelihood of divorce increases with each successive marriage.

That would make it seem as if Americans were fed up with marriage itself, which I don’t be-lieve is the case. People still get married in large numbers; divorc-es are just easier to get today then they ever have been in the past.

When it comes to women, the stigma of the scandalous di-vorcee has all but died out. Peo-ple marry divorcees all the time.

I believe the decline in tradi-tional marriage can primarily be traced to economic factors.

When our parents and grand-parents were getting married, the job market was arguably better. People could bank on working for the same company for their entire careers.

Today, America faces a bro-ken education system and an influx of highly educated im-migrants. The language barrier may be the only thing keeping under-qualified Americans in the job market over more qualified foreigners.

Nobody works for the same company his or her entire career. The American dream consists of odd job after odd job on our way to destiny and prosperity.

Essentially, our generation can no longer bank on the finan-cial safety previous generations enjoyed.

We can barely take care of ourselves, if at all. Why then, in all good conscience, would we voluntarily sign up to provide not only for ourselves, but in a part-nership with an equally disadvan-taged other?

Please remember to safely fasten your oxygen mask before assisting others.

We find ourselves amid a plane crash. Maybe when things get better, traditional marriage numbers will go back up.

As far as gay marriage goes, Americans are beginning to rec-ognize the ignorance behind the propaganda rhetoric. There is no right and wrong, no moral au-thority, just a marginalized group that desires the same rights the rest of us enjoy.

Legislation should not be based on any religious text, plain and simple. It’s what the Found-ing Fathers intended and a princi-ple we’ve managed to bastardize.

Keep the government out of the bedroom — put it into schools instead.

In response to Stuart LeJeune Wat-kins and Martina Scheuermann’s guest column, “Former SG presi-dent, VP weigh in on elections,” readers wrote:

Isn’t Stuart the guy who had people going around in the com-puter labs and voting on PAWS screens left open?- jeffreyr2013

In response to John Parker Ford’s column, “I’m now embarrassed to be a previous SG member,” readers wrote:

“Sexual Favors for votes.”

Please tell me that didn’t actu-ally happen? Its SGA its not that serious.- Philip Egusquiza

“I think it’s time to shut down SG. Take SG away from the chil-dren until they can play nice. It’s time for the administration to dis-band the organization until they can start behaving like the adults they are.”- Lance Stephen Bordelon

In response to the staff editorial, “Students should vote despite election’s dangerous precedent,” readers wrote:

The first UCourt case, the court voted on whether or not the Election Board had the power to do the things it did. According to the Election Code, they could revalue etc etc. The second case was about whether or not they “executed those powers correctly” and it was found that they did not.- JoeGipson

First of all I would like to know if the remedy for overspend-ing is merely a fine. I would think that if were that easy, every cam-paign would over spend and just pay the fine in the end. Did the election board ave any other rem-edy except disqualification?

Also, this opinion takes issue with Ucourt overturning its opin-ion and calling for a new election. This argument is based on the fact that the Ucourt had already ruled on the issue. In reading all of the articles, it seems to me that Ucourt initially ruled to uphold the dis-qualification of the Unite ticket and then overturned that decision when presented with different evidence. Am I reading the articles correctly when they say that the evidence presented at the second hearing was untruthful? Did the Ucourt overturn its initial ruling which af-firmed the disqualification based on false evidence? If so, why is would the Reveille not lay this out more clearly? Just asking...- Just asking

As a grad student this is one of those things that would be funny only if it was funny. I’ve been around long enough to see multiple campaign disqualifications —remember the far far and long long ago of 2011 when the pres/vp of one ticket were disqualified? Or what about 2010 when 22 candidates were disqualified for problems with their spending reports? Where J. Hudson disqualified almost his entire slate of candidates by oopsie-ing the financials? Man, that was some crazy stuff...wait...what? You mean that was less than 4 years ago yet apparently the Reveille, SG, and the prospective SG tickets have forgotten? I sure haven’t seen it mentioned even once. So let’s run over the list of qualifications any successful student government ticket needs at LSU: 1. Full head of shiny hair and a vaseline smile on your male, presidential candidate. Must also look sharp in a suit for game day. 2. Female VP who looks like she knows policy and paperwork. 3. Greek

connections for your get out the vote machine. 4. Ability to fill out relatively simple paperwork tracking far less than $1500 and turn it in on time.

If you can’t do #4 then why, exactly, should you be in charge of what was, in 2012, a budget of $116,000? Money that largely comes out of our student fees?

Perhaps it’s time someone runs a successful ticket that doesn’t con-form to points 1, 2, and 3 if year after year the folks following those rules keep proving they can barely count to 4?- sleepyeyedboy

WEB COMMENTS

I put my rental tuxedo back on its hanger this morning, try-ing unsuccessfully to restore the shirtfront to its pristine, ironed state with my hand, then remov-ing the boutonniere from the la-pel of my jacket, its white petals crushed and curled inward as a result of overindulgent, drunk hugging.

Weddings are an appropriate time to drink, with the successive toasts, high spirits and an excess of alcohol. Today, however, the occasion has passed, and it’s time to reflect with a (mostly) sober mind on our nation’s views on drinking.

Although the majority of the wedding’s attendees were older than 21, I noticed some hadn’t quite made it there.

These 18 to 20-year-olds are legally considered adults in near-ly every way, except they can’t purchase or consume alcohol. I think that’s an arbitrary, perhaps harmful, distinction.

Much of today’s literature unequivocally concludes that raising the minimum legal pur-chasing age, or MLPA, has great-ly increased safety and protected the development and well-being of young minds and bodies.

A little research shows this is not quite the case.

Although one cannot argue against alcohol’s detrimental effects on the still-developing brains of teenagers, studies funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

and the Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network have confirmed that our brains continue to change and grow until our late 20s.

In that respect, raising the drinking age by three years doesn’t prevent that damage — it only postpones it.

We can reject claims of pre-venting alcohol-related auto acci-dents on the same grounds.

Studies like “The Effects of Minimum Drinking Age Legisla-tion on Youthful Auto Fatalities, 1970-1977” conclude changing the drinking age to 21 has curbed drunk driving and resulting fatal-ities. But Choose Responsibility, a nonprofit organization, points out that in 2002, 21-year-olds suffered twice as many drunk driving fatalities as 18-year-olds.

They say changing the legal drinking age may only “[distrib-ute] deaths over the life cycle to the point at which it becomes le-gal to drink alcohol — age 21.”

Furthermore, other studies like those cited in “The Legal Drinking Age: Science vs. Ide-ology” by David Hanson, pro-fessor emeritus of sociology at State University of New York at Potsdam, surmise that states with higher purchasing ages also had a higher number of single-vehicle fatalities compared to states with a lower MLPA.

Admittedly, supporters of 21 as the MLPA seem to have some facts working in their favor.

National studies conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics in the ‘70s found teens between 16 to 21 drank less fre-quently in states with a higher MLPA.

However, this does not con-firm that a lower drinking age

caused higher rates of alcohol consumption among high school students. One could just as easily argue that the opposite relation-ship of causality is true.

In fact, looking at our own state and regional differences in attitudes toward alcohol would lend credence to that belief.

Louisiana fervently fought changing the drinking age to 21 because our culture already viewed imbibing favorably. A lower drinking age did not cause that view, and as we’ve seen and Hanson also noted in New York, raising the drinking age did little to change the drinking climate of our state.

If anything, a higher MLPA has had a negative impact. Re-search conducted and compiled by Indiana University, Bloom-ington and State University of New York College at Potsdam points to the reactance theory as the cause of high amounts of un-derage drinkers.

They postulate that a higher proportion of underage college students overdrink precisely be-cause they refuse to comply with what they see as an unjust denial of an adult right, and this theory has been confirmed by other stud-ies like the one conducted by the University of South Dakota.

That being said, lowering the

minimum drinking age is a rea-sonable and achievable goal, but must be preceded by a large shift in how our culture views and de-picts alcohol consumption. We can no longer preach abstention until 21 while our personal lives and media manage to communi-cate positive views of drinking and negative, imitable behavior.

Also, like most things, a great degree of education is nec-essary before making a success-ful and safe transition. We should place greater emphasis on paren-tal and school involvement, rath-er than relying on laws to imbue teenagers with a sense of right and wrong.

Genetics, availability of al-cohol (i.e., can underage drinkers readily find it in their home), peer behavior, parental involvement and views, regional attitudes and even economy all affect a per-son’s likelihood of developing harmful drinking habits.

If we use education and model responsible consump-tion to combat prevailing atti-tudes regarding alcohol, there is no reason that 18-year-olds in the future will not be able to partake in all of the same free-doms and responsibilities given to 21-year-olds — including alcohol consumption.

student leadership, he said.“Do you think we’re doing

all right?” Jenkins said. “I’m con-cerned about student leadership.”

History junior Rachel Rhodes said The Reveille’s opinion col-umns confused students about what happened during the SG

election season.The controversy surrounding

this semester’s election contrib-uted to students’ frustration and apathy regarding SG, especially about voting in the second election, Rhodes said.

Students need to get involved and add to the mix of voices within the realm of student leadership,

Jenkins said. Being involved is a benefit to students and having a more diverse group of student lead-ers is better for the student body as a whole, he said.

Students in attendance said the perception of certain com-munities around campus is a re-sult of opinions that have cre-ated a negative perception. Mass

communication freshman Brian Rees said there’s an “us-versus-them mentality” between Greek and non-Greek students, especially on SG tickets.

Some students believe their vote doesn’t mean anything be-cause Greek students will support one another regardless of other is-sues, Rees said.

Jenkins said he does not want the Greek community to be divi-sive.

“It’s not an issue,” Rhodes said. “It’s a stereotype we’re trying to escape.”

JENKINS, from page 1

SG Commissioner of Elections Aimeé Simon announced Tuesday afternoon there was a total of 4,658 students — about 17 percent of the student population — who voted in this election.

In the original March 12 elec-tion, Woodard and Parks defeated Howell and Torké by a 20 percent margin.

Woodard said he is excited that the election is now over.

“We are thrilled that we finally have some closure on this election season,” Woodard said.

He said now that the election is over, he and Parks can start planning for their administration.

“Now it’s time for us to get to work immediately,” Woodard said. “We are excited to work towards building SG back up and making sure we’re in a good place next year.”

Parks said she is ready to begin working for the student body.

“I am really excited, and I can’t express how incredibly humbled and honored I am to serve as the next student body vice president,” Parks said.

The newly elected candidates will be sworn in April 17.

The second SG election came after a series of University Court hearings that resulted in the decision to hold another election.

Howell said he still had reserva-tions about the fairness of this sea-son’s election cycle.

“Unfortunately, when the integ-rity of an election is compromised, like it was the first go-around, we didn’t solve anything by having it done a second time,” Howell said.

He said he had a feeling the election would turn out the way it did.

“Going into this election, we knew it would turn out like this,” Howell said. “But we stuck with it and tried to lead the ticket we set out to create, and I think we did that as strongly as we could.”

One person at Unite LSU’s side during the entire election season was Joe Gipson, who acted as an adviser during the numerous UCourt hear-ings.

Gipson said he’s glad that after the multiple UCourt hearings, Unite LSU still won the election.

“I’m just ecstatic,” Gipson said. “With 1,100 votes again, I couldn’t be happier with the student body.”

Howell said he wishes Woodard and Parks well.

“Regardless of the outcome, good luck to John and Taylor,” How-ell said. “They have a big year ahead of them.”

Howell said there is still work to be done at the University, and he and Torké will “take a step back,” then plan their next moves for how they will work to serve the student body’s interests out of office.
