Three years have passed since individual University de-partments and colleges have been able to apply for discipline-spe-cifi c grants funded by the Student Technology Fee.

Around $1 million of the $4 million the tech fee generates an-nually were allocated every fi scal year for discipline-specifi c spend-ing until the 2010 fi scal year, when that money was shifted to support University Information Technol-ogy Services amid budget con-cerns. Discipline-specifi c grants were awarded to departments that requested tech fee money to purchase materials that would benefi t their students in specifi c areas of study.

At a meeting on Sept. 24 , the Student Technology Fee Oversight Committee discussed the possibil-ity of opening up $350,000 of cur-rently uncommitted tech fee funds to discipline-specifi c projects this fi scal year. Committee members expressed hope that discipline-spe-cifi c funding will be reintroduced next fi scal year.

Honors College Assistant Dean Michael Blandino said dis-cipline-specifi c awards enabled the Honors College to purchase basic

instructional technologies like pro-jectors. The Honors College’s spe-cial classrooms are not covered by general classroom outfi tting funds allocated in the tech fee budget, he said.

Tech fee approvals for the 2010 fi scal year show the Hon-ors College was given $7,299 to replace an audio/visual cart Blan-dino said was about 10 years old. He said there is now more aging equipment that needs replacing in the Honors College, but that may

be diffi cult to accomplish without discipline-specifi c funds.

“This source is really our only means to do that,” Blandino said.

He said the French House, the Honors College’s headquarters, is scheduled for renovation next year . He said the Honors College would like to outfi t the updated building with more collaborative spaces with work stations but may be unable to do so.

CAIRO (AP) — Graffiti has been among the most powerful art forms and tools of Egypt’s revolution and the turbulent months since, but it also has proven to be its most vul-nerable and ephemeral.

A group of artists, photogra-phers and a publisher joined hands to preserve the images. The result is a street history that chronicles image by image the evolution of Egypt’s upheaval, which has yet to settle.France boosts security at religious sites after recent violent attacks

PARIS (AP) — France is boost-ing security at Jewish and other religious sites after blanks were fired at a synagogue and police accused a suspected cell of radi-cal Islamists of ties to a grenade attack on a kosher grocery.

President Francois Hollande sought Sunday to allay tensions between Jews and Muslims aggra-vated by a recent series of violent incidents in the country.

Hollande singled out hate-ful extremists for criticism and urged respect for all religions in a country that is officially secular, but which has West-ern Europe’s largest Jewish and Muslim communities.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks that evolution, embryol-ogy and the Big Bang theory are “lies straight from the pit of hell” meant to convince people that they do not need a savior.

The Republican lawmaker made those comments during a speech Sept. 27 at a sports-man’s banquet at Liberty Bap-tist Church in Hartwell. Broun, a medical doctor, is running for re-election in November unopposed by Democrats.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Class-mates and friends are questioning why a police officer fatally shot a University of South Alabama freshman who was naked and had been banging on a window at po-lice headquarters.

Campus officials didn’t give any indication that Gil Collar, 18, of Wetumpka had a weapon when he was shot. A university spokesman said he was fatally wounded about 1:30 a.m. Satur-day after an officer heard a bang on a window and went outside to investigate.

HOUMA (AP) — Scientists are asking crabbers to report lost traps to guide future cleanups.

Julie Anderson is an assistant professor and fisheries specialist with Louisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter. She tells The Cou-rier that more than 1,400 traps lost in Hurricane Isaac have been re-ported to the database.

Crab traps can be lost when the ropes connecting floats to the cage are severed by storms, acci-dental catch in other gear, vandal-ism or the propellers of other boats.

Fish and blue crabs still swim into the traps, which also pose a hazard to boaters and can damage fishing nets.ATLANTA (AP) — The phar-

macy that distributed a steroid linked to an outbreak of fungal meningitis has issued a volun-tary recall of all of its products, calling the move a precautionary measure.

The New England Com-pounding Center announced the recall Saturday. The com-pany said in a news release that the move was taken out of an abundance of caution because of the risk of contamination. It says there is no indication that any other products have been contaminated.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel scrambled fighter jets to intercept a drone Saturday that crossed deep into Israeli airspace from the Mediterranean Sea, shooting the aircraft down over the coun-try’s southern desert, the military said.

The incident marked the first time in at least six years that a hostile aircraft has penetrated Israel’s airspace, and Israeli of-ficials said they were taking the incident seriously, raising the possibility of retaliatory action.

More Americans are sticking to party lines when voting and deciding what they believe on is-sues, according to new findings by the Pew Research Center.

The political polarization values gap is larger now than age, class or gender divides, ac-cording to a Pew study conduct-ed over the past 25 years, which means it is less likely now for there to be a Republican who holds liberal views on a few key issues, or vice versa.

A graph showing political positions of each member of the 111th House of Representatives, based on each member’s amount of affirmative and negative votes, shows even the closest-to-center people do not overlap, accord-ing to the NOMINATE scaling method.

This phenomenon, known as political polarization, has in-creased over the past 25 years from 10 percent to 18 percent.

The percentage points in this study represent the average dif-ference between answers to ques-tions asked of Democrats and Re-publicans.

Political science professor and Graduate Studies adviser James Garand illuminated this, saying political partisanship is an interesting phenomenon, most likely caused by the gap between average incomes.

According to Pew, the gap between incomes in political par-ties remains at 10 percent, similar to the numbers collected over the past 25 years.

Income for the top fifth of households in America rose by 1.6 percent in 2011, while those in the middle declined and those at the bottom stayed the same, according to the U.S. Census Bu-reau.

Income aside, partisan gaps create a more homogeneous world in which party members operate, Gerand said.

“You have common ground with people when your mod-erately conservative next-door neighbor has a friend with liberal social views and conservative fis-cal ones, while you have mostly liberal views. You can have a conversation,” Garand said.

Data shows this opportunity for conversation is changing.

The same data does not ne-gate the fact that more Americans identify themselves as Indepen-dents, but even Independents have leanings, according to the American National Election Studies.

The number of true Indepen-dents as measured in recent pres-idential elections has remained around 10 percent.

No third party encompasses the entire independent vote, but the American Centrist Party, self-described as comprised of people who do not “hold themselves to

the party politics of the right or left,” strives to capture the Amer-ican vote by acknowledging and using positive aspects of both major parties while discarding the negative ones.

“Most Americans are Inde-pendent Centrist; they just don’t know it yet,” the website claims.

Polarization gap up 8 percent

William Bouvay Jr., the man arrested for calling in a bomb threat to the University on Sept. 17, will be arraigned Oct. 11 after the original date, set for Oct. 5, was moved.

The East Baton Rouge Par-ish District Attorney’s Office filed the charge Oct. 4 for com-municating false information of a planned bombing on school property.

No reason was provided for the date change.

If convicted, Bouvay, 42, of 8224 Skysail Ave., could face a maximum of 20 years in prison on state charges alone. He also faces up to 10 more years for a federal indictment filed last month.

Bouvay was arrested for the false threats only two days after he made the call. Police were able to track the call to Bouvay’s cell phone, and he admitted to the crime after he was brought to the LSU Police Department for ques-tioning.

The threat was unprecedent-ed at the University as campus

closed down and students, facul-ty and staff were forced to evacu-ate, causing traffic gridlocks that lasted hours.

Bouvay’s motive is still un-known. Police officials said at a Sept. 19 news conference that re-leasing information on Bouvay’s reason for making the false threat would hinder the ongoing inves-tigation.

Bouvay is no stranger to po-lice investigations and court ap-pearances. He has been previous-ly arrested for a slew of offences, including terrorizing, domestic abuse and attempted second de-gree murder.

His terrorizing charge in-volved a University faculty member and earned him 18 months in prison. Bouvay was on parole when he called in the bomb threat.

Arraignment delayed for bomb suspect

The University’s Interfrater-nity Council welcomed a new fra-ternity Sept. 26.

Theta Chi became the 21st fraternity addition to campus when it received the necessary number of votes at the regularly scheduled Interfraternity Council meeting, Logan Davis, a graduate assistant at Greek Life said in an email.

Theta Chi, which started out as an interest group in April 2010 with 10 undergraduate men, was chartered as the Iota Pi chapter on April 21 with 45 members, ac-cording to a news release.

“The Interfraternity Council couldn’t be more excited to wel-come the men of Theta Chi into the council,” Jonathan Sanders, associate director of Greek Life, said in the release.

Present at Wednesday’s vote

were Theta Chi President Justin Jones, President of the Advisory Board of Theta Chi at LSU Steve Mannear, Graduate Adviser Eric Shapiro, and Theta Chi Executive Director Mike Mayer, who rep-resented the International Head-quarters.

Theta Chi is one of the old-est men’s college fraternities. According to the release, it was founded at Norwich University in Vermont on April 10, 1856, on the principles of friendship through every member mutually assisting one another.

Theta Chi has 131 active chapters across the nation, Davis said.

As a social fraternity, Theta Chi focuses on academics, service and involvement, he said.

The last addition to the IFC was in 2005 when the LSU chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu was founded.

LSU Dining’s new monthly newsletter offers students anoth-er tool to combat the notorious “Freshman 15.”

LSU Dining has created a newsletter to help provide students with important nutri-tional information and calendar events.

“We call it Tiger Food,” said Dean Samuels, LSU Dining mar-keting director. “It is pretty much a four-part informational docu-ment.”

Part one of the newsletter features a profile of a member of the culinary team entitled “Who’s in The Kitchen” and some nutri-tional information from Briggette Mosley, director of Athletic Din-ing and registered dietitian, Sam-uels said.

Samuels said he believes the “Who’s in The Kitchen” column is the most interesting part of the newsletter.

“I think most of our students don’t realize the caliber of peo-ple that we have on our culinary team,” Samuels said.

The second part is designed to focus on the particular needs of students as they pertain to nutri-tion and is entitled “BalancedU.” This month it highlights “brain boosters,” he said.

This portion of the newsletter

explains what foods students should look for to help them deal with everyday stress.

Part three focuses on the monthly calendar of events.

“The calendar will show all of the culinary-based events tak-ing place on the campus, be it in our dining halls or elsewhere,” Samuels said.

Samuels said many students had no idea when dining events were taking place. They would often enter the dining hall to find tents and a DJ set up, he said.

The fourth part is a flyer for the main themed meal of the month. For the month of October, the theme is Halloween.

Students can find the news-letter in The 5 and 459 commons dining halls.

“[Dining] is putting them in both dining halls at the front counters,” said Caroline Uffman, LSU Dining marketing assistant. “They can also be found on the tables throughout the 459 and The 5.”

The newsletter is released the first week of every month and is also available on the LSU Din-ing website.

The website has a feature that enables students to subscribe to the newsletter. Those who choose to have a subscription will receive a monthly email with a PDF file of the newsletter, Samuels said.

Kenneth Chancellor, me-chanical engineering freshman, said he only expects about 50 percent of students to use the newsletter, but believes it will be beneficial for those that do.

‘Tiger Food’ newsletter offers nutritional advice to students

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For Or-lando Sequera, voting in Venezuela’s presidential election Sunday meant more than simply deciding whether Hugo Chavez serves another six years in offi ce. It could mean the dif-ference between staying in the U.S. and returning to his homeland.

Sequera, 37, came to the U.S. for a chance to go to college in 1997. He went back to Venezuela in 2002 and returned to the U.S. in less than a year upon fi nding his home country in ruins, he said — unsafe and un-stable.

“This election means every-thing,” said Sequera, who still has many relatives in Venezuela. “It means whether we become a com-munist country like Cuba or become more progressive with a future of opportunity and freedom for our people. It really is a struggle between good and evil.”

Sequera was among thousands of U.S.-based Venezuelans who fl ocked to New Orleans by bus, car and airplane to vote. The election pits Chavez, who has been in offi ce 13 years, against Henrique Capriles, a 40-year-old state governor who has pledged solutions to crime, corrup-tion and poorly run public services.

Most Venezuelans in the U.S. are professionals or businesspeople who left their country after Chavez became president in 1999. Most Ven-ezuelan voters in the United States live in the Miami area, and the vast majority of those are critical of the Chavez government.

Voting was held in New Orleans because the consulate in Miami was closed earlier this year after the State Department expelled consul Livia Acosta amid an investigation into re-cordings that seemed to implicate her in an Iranian plot for a cyber-attack against the U.S.

The closure affected nearly 20,000 Venezuelan voters living in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina who had registered to vote at the Miami consulate. That’s only a fraction of the 18.9 million registered voters in Venezuela, but the vote is expected to be a close one.

Venezuelans around the world also came out to vote en masse: An anti-Chavez Venezuelan television station showed people traveling to a consulate in Germany to vote, and others voting in Panama.

Sequera said the closure did not deter the thousands who turned out, chanting “Venezuela” and waving their nation’s fl ags from cars. A street party unfolded as voters left the

convention center, where votes were cast because New Orleans’ consulate couldn’t handle the crowds. Vendors sold food and drinks to the cheering crowd.

“We’re tired of the situation at home, and we’ve come together to make a stand for change,” he said.

Cuba, an isolated nation ruled by a communist regime led by Raul Castro, who succeeded his brother Fidel, is in many ways closely tied to the election. Some Venezuelan ex-patriates fear their home country is going down the same path as Cuba, stifl ing opposition and pushing peo-ple into poverty with communist policies.

Across the Gulf of Mexico in Havana, about 400 Venezuelans were registered to vote. Many are workers for the state oil company, university students or patients from binational medical programs. And several expressed strong support for Chavez.

Dariela Ortega, 25, urged com-patriots to get out and vote.

“That’s the best thing they can do so our country continues to be what it is now,” Ortega said. “May they vote for the best one — and they know who the best one is.”

Back in New Orleans, Alex-andra Viamonte had a different

message. She moved to the Florida at age 17 because she saw few oppor-tunities for higher education in Ven-ezuela. So she moved in with an aunt while studying English and medical technology. She married a man origi-nally from Cuba, and together they have fi ve children. However, most of her extended family remains in Venezuela, and she fears their fate if Chavez wins another term.

Chavez, however, underestimat-ed the resolve of voters in the U.S.

“He thought that we wouldn’t drive almost 900 miles to vote, but he was wrong,” she said. “We have the opposition we needed.”

“We may be plugging back in the equipment we have now once that’s done if there’s no means for us to propose for replacement of that,” Blandino said.

Dean of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts Laurence Kap-tain said being able to keep up with new technologies is essential to academic success.

“The iPhone wasn’t invented until fi ve years ago,” he said. “So if you’re looking at how that’s changed things and how people expect to be able to interact with professors and do some of their learning through mobile technol-ogy, that’s too long without an up-date.”

Kaptain said since creative people are often on the cutting edge of technology, it is important for CMDA to keep up to date as well. Learning how to use relevant technologies while at college is es-sential because much of the work done in music- and arts-related ca-reers is now computerized, he said.

“We really want our students … if they go to graduate school or to a job to be the leaders where they’re at,” Kaptain said. “And that helps everyone because then that makes their degree more valuable when they’re perceived as com-ing from LSU and really being ad-vanced at things.”

In 2009 , CMDA was able to purchase items like light panels, microphones and podcasting kits with tech fee funds. The listing of tech fee approvals for that fi scal year shows CMDA was award-ed about $76,000 for “replacing and remaining technology in the CMDA.”

Kaptain said the $76,000 received in 2009 led to millions of

dollars in benefi ts because of the money CMDA generates through its programs.

Because discipline-specifi c grants were cut out, CMDA has used leftover teaching funds, dona-tions and ticket income from con-certs and plays to purchase equip-ment. Kaptain said this money would normally pay for scholar-ships and travel expenses .

Like the Honors College, CMDA faces a need to replace out-dated equipment but lacks the tech fee grants that paid for the origi-nal items. One potential purchase Kaptain mentioned was new pia-nos , which he said would benefi t all music undergraduate students because of a requirement to take a piano class.

Kaptain also said he would like to introduce degree programs in sound recording and music writ-ing for moving images , both of which would require modern tech-nological equipment. If discipline-specifi c funding becomes available again, these programs would be more feasible, he said.

Kaptain said the music writ-ing for moving images degree is of particular interest for Louisiana due to its growing fi lm industry .

“If we’re training people to

support the fi lm industry, then we’re supporting our students here, our faculty and our citizens who will benefi t from the creative econ-omy,” Kaptain said.

Part of these and other CMDA endeavors involves reaching out to grade school students , Kaptain

said. He pointed out that many local schools do not offer arts education, which CMDA could provide through distance learning programs if awarded a discipline-specifi c grant.

“Rather than talk about buying equipment, I would talk

about that [STF money] would give us the chance to change lives,” he said.

No. 9 LSU’s (5-1, 1-1 Southeast-ern Conference) only offensive spark since the opening drive on the way to a 14-6 defeat.

“We keep possession on that reception, and it could have been the difference in that game,” said LSU coach Les Miles .

His case isn’t compelling, as the Tigers posted their ugli-est offensive performance in re-cent memory against a team not named Alabama.

The statistics tell the tale. Six points , 200 total yards and eight fi rst downs aren’t winning foot-ball numbers.

It got so bad that No. 4 Flor-ida (5-0, 4-0 SEC) , which com-piled a mere 61 passing yards on 12 attempts, made its LSU coun-terparts resemble a JV squad in the second half.

But the reality may have been more harsh on the Tiger offense, which had averaged 39 points and 433 yards per game prior to Saturday.

After a week relatively free of drops against Towson, several passes eluded Tiger receivers Saturday.

Mettenberger , known mostly for his mistakes deep in enemy territory, forced a throw on his own end of the fi eld, which Flor-ida intercepted to set up a short fi eld to work with.

A makeshift offensive line again struggled to keep an op-ponent out of the backfi eld, espe-cially after LSU senior left guard Josh Williford left the game with a head injury in the fi rst quarter.

With sweat and frustration still visible on their faces follow-ing the game, LSU players didn’t have many answers for their sec-ond- straight putrid offensive per-formance in SEC play.

“It’s a weird feeling,” said ju-nior running back Spencer Ware , who was LSU’s leading rusher with only 21 yards. “I don’t know [what’s wrong]. There’s just something different about this team we need to get fi xed.”

LSU’s offense may have been hanging by a thread, but it was Florida’s defense that cut the cord.

Behind a raucous crowd, the Gators defense was as smother-ing as the famed humidity in The Swamp.

Florida junior safety Matt

Elam’s helmet less antics along with seven solo tackles and his strip of Beckham kept the Florida defense energized while it al-lowed only one LSU third-down conversion.

“The open week benefi tted Florida, and it showed in their preparation of the game plan,” Miles said.

The Gators didn’t need much leeway — it provided three of the Tigers’ eight fi rst downs via pen-alty — but LSU gave it to them anyway with a slew of unforced errors.

After a fumble by Florida sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel late in the second quar-ter , LSU took over at the Gators’ seven-yard line, ahead 3-0 with a chance to gain a double-digit ad-vantage.

On third-and-goal from the four-yard line, the Tigers took two timeouts before calling a halfback pass that freshman run-ning back Terrence Magee had to tuck away for no gain.

According to Miles , there was an electrical malfunction with the headset, while Metten-berger said the wrong wristband number was called in before the fi rst timeout.

“It was a play called in for a different personnel set than we had out there,” Mettenberger said. “It was just that one time we had the wristband issue, but it was important.”

The mishap was represen-tative of the Tigers’ recent SEC

struggles, as LSU has scored one touchdown in the last 12 quarters of play against league foes.

On LSU’s last realistic series to tie the game, sophomore tight end Nic Jacobs caught a nine-yard pass to get the drive near midfi eld.

He wasn’t eligible to catch it, drawing a fi ve-yard penalty as an ineligible man down fi eld.

Ware called Florida a “big-time defense,” but lamented LSU’s own inability to keep the Gators’ swarming defense away from the line of scrimmage.

“When you know some-body’s gonna run or where the ball’s going, it’s not that hard to stop you,” he said. “Everybody fl ies to the ball, and it was nine of them against our seven or six. We were outnumbered every time.”

The Tigers posted their low-est regular season point total since a 13-3 loss to Florida in 2009 . Outnumbering capable op-ponents on the scoreboard seems to be slipping further from LSU’s grasp.

“We understand the things that went wrong,” Miles said. “Mistakes are being made, and it’s showing up on the point sheet. The plays are exactly how we coach it, so they’re very de-fi ned mistakes. There’s just too many of them.”

CATHERINE THRELKELD / The Daily Reveille

LSU head coach Les Miles and sophomore wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (3) watch the replay board after Beckham fumbled the ball Saturday.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — LSU ju-nior linebacker Kevin Minter may have played a little too well in the Tigers’ 14-6 loss to Florida on Sat-urday.

In the Gators’ fi rst offensive drive of the second half, Minter added two tackles to the 10 he’d al-ready accumulated before halftime, at which point LSU led 6-0.

“Kevin played his butt off,” said LSU coach Les Miles.

While it’s probably safe to as-sume Miles didn’t mean that liter-ally, one could make the case.

Minter said the muscles in his legs seized after he made his 13th tackle of the game on the Tigers’ next defensive stand, sending him to the locker room. When Minter re-turned later in the quarter, the game was not how he left it.

Florida immediately took a 7-6 lead in Minter’s absence. He would wrestle down seven more Gators.

However, not even pulling within one tackle of LSU’s single-game record of 21 — along with two sacks and a forced fumble — could save a team that allowed Flor-ida’s offense to stay on the fi eld for 70 percent of the game.

“[Minter] showed up with a tremendous game, but it’s a team effort,” said junior defensive end Barkevious Mingo. “The team should’ve rallied around that and got him off the fi eld.”

With Minter causing mayhem, LSU’s defense didn’t have that problem prior to the half.

A battle with the elements left the Tigers struggling, but the leadership of the squad’s old-est member propelled LSU to its second straight tournament vic-tory at the David Toms Intercol-legiate.

Junior Andrew Presley fi red a 4-over par 220 over three rounds, fi nishing as the

No.1-ranked golfer and helping the squad pull away from South Alabama and secure a victory with a 33-over 897.

Playing on one’s home turf is usually a way to gain an upper hand on an opponent. The Tigers felt no such advantage this past weekend, as a mix of steamy, chilly and windy conditions found their way to the University Club in Baton Rouge.

“The course played really tough in the beginning,” Presley said. “It was really windy and cold. It played tough all week, but I think I did well with my [4-over 220] and I think some

people defi nitely could have done better in different conditions.”

The Tigers sent nine golf-ers to the course this weekend, as Presley, sophomores Curtis Thompson, Stewart Jolly and Myles Lewis and freshman Zach Wright competed for the team score.

Juniors Smylie Kaufman and Landon Lyons and freshmen Chuck Spears and John Jonas competed as individuals.

Miles beaten at his own game

MIC’D UPMICAH BEDARDSports Columnist

Florida coach Will Muschamp is a plagiarist.

He didn’t merely take a page out of LSU coach Les Miles’ book — Muschamp copied the whole thing, put an orange and blue cov-er on it and made Miles read the handbook he’s made his namesake for 60 minutes.

Simply put, Miles got “Miles’d.”

There’s no more excuses or ugly wins to hide behind. LSU got what was coming to it after two straight, uninspiring performances.

Forget about a wakeup call or an eye-opener— what happened in The Swamp on Saturday was a disaster.

Muschamp reminded Miles what it looked like to dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock and capitalize off turnovers.

Muschamp made adjustments. Miles didn’t.

Facing a 6-0 halftime defi cit with no offensive rhythm, Mus-champ made a conscious decision — pound the rock until the Tigers proved they could stop it.

Mission accomplished.The Gators made up for their

offensive defi ciencies in the fi rst half, piling up 190 yards after half-time.

The LSU volleyball team is calling its straight-set win against South Carolina a fresh start to a new season.

After a 2-5 start in Southeast-ern Conference play that includ-ed a fi ve-set home loss to Georgia less than a week ago, LSU coach Fran Flory , along with the rest of her team, are forgetting about the beginning of the season and start new.

“We kind of decided that this would be the restart of the sea-son,” Flory said. “…We acted like this was the fi rst match of our season, and we’re going to continue and see what we can ac-complish.”

LSU would take the fi rst game of its “new season” in straight sets 29-27, 25-23 and 25-12 .

The Tigers had their best offensive game of the season against the Gamecock defense, posting a .359 hitting clip — more than 16 percent higher than their season average — while only committing 11 hitting er-rors, 10 fewer than their season average.

The trio of junior Desiree Elliott , sophomore Helen Boyle and senior Madie Jones has been the driving force behind the LSU offense all season after being re-sponsible for 77 percent of the Tigers’ kills thus far.

The three’s performance against South Carolina was no different, leading the offensive push with 44 kills on a .375 hit-ting clip.

“Jones carries a huge load for us all the time,” Flory said. “Certainly [Elliott] has to be our go-to middle — she’s so fast and dynamic, everyone knows she’s going to get the ball, and she’s still able to out quick teams. … The emergence of Helen has re-ally been the salvation of our of-fense this year.”

It didn’t take long for the two teams to get acquainted with each

other during a hard-fought fi rst set that resulted in 12 lead chang-es and took an extra seven points to fi nally come to a conclusion.

But it was in the second set where the Tigers began to take control of the match and dive headfi rst into their newfound fresh-start mentality.

LSU fell behind early in the second set when South Carolina jumped to a 14-7 lead, but Elliott , Jones and Boyle would combine for eight kills to catapult LSU to a 14-4 run.

“We had talked about head-ing into the locker room with momentum,” said senior libero Meghan Mannari . “In our heads we realized that we needed to change something and being down and coming back was a big deal. It helped us going into the locker room and into the third set, taking care of business on our side.”

It also appears that Man-nari has returned full-time to her

libero position after suffering an ankle injury a month ago. Man-nari played every set at libero since switching with her replace-ment, senior defensive specialist Sam Delahoussaye , following the third set against Georgia, but Flory continues to say the deci-sion of who will play in the dif-ferent color jersey will be made on a game-to-game basis.

The Tigers will now turn their attention to Wednesday’s match against preseason SEC fa-vorite Tennessee.

“Every match with Tennes-see has just been a war,” Flory said. “Our players enjoy that match, and I think their players enjoy that match. … Tennessee is very physical, and they’re as quick and dynamic and as athletic as any other team in the league.”

CHRISTIAN PALMA/ The Associated Press

Orlando Magic Glen Davis, right, drives to the basket against New Orleans Anthony Davis (23) during a NBA pre-season basketball game in Mexico City on Sunday.

In its seventh double-overtime game of the season, the LSU soc-cer team secured a 1-0 win against Vanderbilt on Sunday afternoon in the LSU Soccer Stadium.

Freshman midfielder Haley Emerson scored the golden goal and her first career goal in the 108th minute from six yards out after the ball was assisted by freshman mid-fielder Jade Kovacevic. Kovacevic pushed the ball 30 yards up the field past four Com-modore players then crossed the ball into the box where senior for-ward Carlie Banks drew out Vander-bilt goalkeeper redshirt sophomore Alexa Levick who left the net wide open for Emerson to score.

“When she was driving down the line we were all screaming, ‘get in the box,’” Emerson said. “Right when she scored I looked at her be-cause I knew she gave it everything she had.”

The overtime win for LSU is the first since the season opener at Oklahoma when junior midfielder Alex Arlitt also scored the golden goal in the 108th minute.

Emerson and junior midfielder Danielle Murphy entered the game for the first time in the second over-time period to relieve tired players.

“[LSU coach Brian Lee] al-ways tells us every minute counts,” Emerson said. “He told me right before I went in, try to score the

goal for us because I had fresh legs.”

LSU outshot Vanderbilt 20-11 overall and 10-4 in the first half. The Tigers outshot their opponent for the first time since their 1-0 win in Starkville against Mississippi State on Sept. 28. LSU defenders Jodi Calloway and Alex Ramsey played in the midfield and led the Tigers with four shots a piece.

LSU controlled the tempo for the majority of the game. Of the 11 Vanderbilt shots, the Tigers al-

lowed only one C o m m o d o r e shot on goal compared to the Tigers’ six.

Lee said his team played the best they’ve played

this season.“Passing and moving was re-

ally good,” Lee said. “The back four was outstanding. The for-wards worked really hard, created lots of chances and kept plugging and plugging to get the winner.”

The Tigers had a couple close opportunities to score in the first half from freshman forward Fer-nanda Piña and Ramsey who had shots that both rolled just wide to the right of the goal.

With the win over Vanderbilt, LSU won its first Southeastern Conference home game and will keep its post-season hopes alive.

“It’s a tough game,” Lee said. “Shots don’t always translate into goals, and chances don’t always translate into goals…but it was a needed three points.”

LSU had six corner kicks to Vanderbilt’s four, which is an im-provement to the team’s zero in Friday night’s 2-0 loss to Flori-da. Florida dominated the game with 13 corner kicks and 22 shots compared to LSU’s three shots. LSU junior goalkeeper Megan Kinneman saved seven of Florida’s nine shots on goals, and Florida goalkeeper sophomore Taylor Burke saved LSU’s lone shot on goal by Kovacevic.

Tigers defeat Vandy in OTDetroit Tigers up 2-0 on Oakland A’s Bria Turner

Sports Contributor

DETROIT (AP) — Coco Crisp sprinted in from deep center field to put himself in position to make a basket catch that would end the seventh inning with the Oakland Athletics clinging to a one-run lead.

Instead, the ball off Miguel Cabrera’s bat hit the heel of Crisp’s glove, popped in and out of the mitt’s webbing and left him trying to snag it with his bare right hand on a third attempt to make a key play.

“I had to make a decision be-tween turning my glove over and going for the basket catch or trying to slide into the ball,” Crisp said. “I’ve made the catch both ways, and obviously this time, I made the wrong decision.”

Crisp couldn’t get a grip and the Tigers took advantage with two runs that helped them beat Oakland 5-4 Sunday and take a 2-0 lead in their AL division series.

“It was an unfortunate play for them and a fortunate play for us,” said Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland. “That’s the human ele-ment of the game.”

The Athletics will face elimi-nation in Game 3 on Tuesday.

“They’re not going to cash it in, trust me,” Leyland said. “We’ve got a long way to go.”

The A’s will host the next three games — if they make them neces-sary in the five-game series.

Baseball is using a 2-3 format in the division series because there wasn’t enough time to have an ex-tra travel day with an extra wild-card team in both leagues.

After Crisp’s error, Oakland responded with two runs in the eighth to get the lead back — on

a wild pitch and Josh Reddick’s solo homer — but blew it again in the home half before losing the possibly pivotal game in the ninth inning.

Reliever Ryan Cook got two outs in the eighth, but threw a wild pitch that allowed Don Kelly to score and make it 4-all.

“Both teams made some mis-takes that got the other team in the game,” said A’s manager Bob Mel-vin.

Kelly ended the game in the ninth with a sacrifice fly off closer Grant Balfour that scored Omar Infante and put the A’s in a tough spot.

Oakland hopes it can draw on its comeback experience from late in the regular season.

The AL West champions be-came the first team in baseball his-tory to win a division or pennant after being behind by at least five games with fewer than 10 games left, capping the remarkable rally with a three-game sweep against Texas that erased a two-game defi-cit.

“We’re not packing it in. We don’t do that, or we wouldn’t be here,” said Oakland second base-man Cliff Pennington. “We’ll keep fighting until we’re done, one way or the other. We’ve been doing this all year.”

Crisp has been covering a lot of ground in the outfield this sea-son, his third with the A’s, and throughout his career that started in Cleveland a decade ago and con-tinued in Boston and Kansas City.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees’ latest assault on a presti-gious NFL passing record lift-ed the embattled New Orleans Saints to their fi rst victory of the season.

Brees broke a half-century-old record by throwing a touch-down pass in his 48th straight game, and the Saints defeated the San Diego Chargers 31-24 on Sunday night.

Brees’ 40-yard pass to Dev-ery Henderson eclipsed the mark of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass set by Johnny Unitas from 1956-60.

“First of all, it’s a team re-cord, not an individual record. So many people were responsi-ble for this, coaches and people in the organization,” Brees said. “Certainly the man who held this record stands for everything great in this league. It couldn’t have happened in a better way.”

Brees fi nished with four touchdown passes, including three to Marques Colston, giving the seventh-year receiver a fran-chise-record 52 TD catches with the Saints (1-4).

At Brees’ request, the NFL allowed head coach Sean Payton, assistant head coach Joe Vitt and general manager Mickey Loo-mis — all serving various sus-pensions in connection with the NFL’s bounty investigation — to attend the game. They and Uni-tas’ son, Joe, saw Brees pass for 370 yards.

“It gave us a good mojo for sure,” Brees said of Payton’s presence. “I love my coach, so glad he could be here. Mickey and Joe Vitt as well. It is special for our team, special they could be a part of this record.”

“We fi nally put together a great team effort for all four quar-ters. I can’t say enough for the guys in our locker room,” Brees said. “We have been through a lot together. Hopefully this will lead to more wins.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the one who suspended Saints personnel in the bounty matter but also granted Brees’ request for Payton, Vitt and Loo-mis to attend the game, chimed in on social media to offer his own congratulations.

On his Twitter page, Goodell wrote: “Congrats to @drewbrees & his teammates on breaking Unitas’ record. Amazing accom-plishment by great QB & leader.

We’re proud of you, Drew.”Philip Rivers passed for 354

yards and two touchdowns to for-mer Saint Robert Meachem, but had two costly turnovers in the fi nal quarter.

The fi rst was Roman Harp-er’s interception and 41-yard re-turn on a pass tipped by fellow safety Malcolm Jenkins. That set up the Saints’ fi nal score on Gar-rett Hartley’s 25-yard fi eld goal. San Diego (3-2) still had a chance to tie in the fi nal minute when defensive end Martez Wilson stripped Rivers and recovered the fumble to seal the victory.

After his record-setting completion, Brees galloped to the end zone to hug Henderson. The rest of New Orleans’ offense pursued and swarmed around Brees in celebration while the ju-bilant Superdome crowd roared and then howled an elongated, “Dreeeeeeew!”

Brees took the game ball to the sideline where he continued to accept congratulations. The scoring pass capped an 80-yard drive in which Brees completed all three of his third-down passes, including the touchdown connec-tion with Henderson.

Colston fi nished with nine catches for 131 yards, while Hen-derson had eight catches for 123 yards.

Colston’s second TD late in the third quarter eclipsed a fran-chise mark set by Joe Horn in 2006 and pulled theSaints back within a fi eld goal shortly after

the Chargers appeared to have gone ahead 31-14 on Demorrio Williams’ interception return for a touchdown. Williams’ TD was nullifi ed, however, by Melvin Ingram’s late hit on Brees’ chin, which drew a roughing-the-pass-er fl ag and extended what wound up to be an 87-yard scoring drive.

Vitt is expected to take over the coaching staff when his six-game suspension ends. Loomis was docked eight games. As the Saints headed into their bye week, the desperately needed win offered hope, however faint, of making a playoff run when Vitt

and Loomis are back.Rivers staked San Diego to

a 7-0 lead with a 15-yard touch-down pass over the middle to Meachem, marking the former Saints receiver’s fi rst touchdown since signing with the Chargers as a free agent last winter.

San Diego moved ahead 10-7 on Nick Novak’s 20-yard fi eld goal, a disappointment for the Chargers after Saints corner-back Jabari Greer was called for pass interference against Malcom Floyd at the New Orleans 6. No-vak, fi lling in for injured kicker Nate Kaeding, later missed a 55-yard attempt.

Colston made his fi rst touch-down catch on a pass Brees lofted perfectly to the back of the end zone. That gave New Orleans a 14-10 lead that lasted until Meachem’s 44-yard touchdown catch in the fi nal minute of the half.

San Diego went ahead 24-14 on Ryan Mathews’ 13-yard run around left end, capping a three-play drive that started when Henderson tipped a pass that Brees threw behind him, allow-ing Quentin Jammer to intercept it and give San Diego the ball on the New Orleans 25.

Greer left the game with what team offi cials said was a hip injury. He was hurt late in the second quarter and did not return.

Saints nab � rst win, Brees breaks record

BILL FEIG / The Associated Press

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) throws a touchdown pass for his 48th consecutive game, breaking Johnny Unitas’ NFL record which stood for more than 50 years, during an NFL football game against the San Diego Chargers at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday.

The Gators were forced to punt on their fi rst four drives, the fourth of which Minter single-hand-edly halted. He made every tackle of the three-and-out, two of them sacks. Florida sophomore quar-terback Jeff Driskel didn’t com-plete his handoff motion before Minter reached him on the fi rst sack.

And fi nally gaining steam on the fi fth drive, Driskel dropped back from the LSU 22-yard line, delivered a pass in the fl at and watched as Minter swooped in and crushed the ball from senior

receiver Frankie Hammond’s grasp. “We had an outstanding fi rst

half, all of us [from] the linemen, to the linebackers, to the secondary,” Minter said. “It’s just a shame we couldn’t fi nish the second half like we did the fi rst.”

He could only do so much. LSU’s offense laid an egg, rushing for just 42 yards, completing 44 percent of its passes and converting one of 13 third downs.

As a result, the Tigers found themselves on the opposite side of a grinding tactic they’re accustomed to employing. Gators senior running back Mike Gillislee

began gutting the Tigers in the third quarter, fi nishing with 146 yards on 34 carries.

Of those 34 carries, 22 came in the second half as Florida aban-doned the pass, rushing on its fi nal 25 offensive plays. LSU’s defense was on the fi eld for 37 minutes, 24 seconds.

“[The offensive struggles are] not frustrating because we don’t think about blame here,” said junior defensive end Sam Montgomery. “But it is tiring.”

Minter’s 17 solo tackles against the Gators set an LSU record and outmatched his season total coming

into the contest. Gillislee was funneled re-

peatedly toward Minter, but Mingo said it was personal effort rather than any scheme or situation that dictated his teammate’s break-out game.

“He played above and beyond his position and really came through for us,” Mingo said. “It just didn’t work out our way.”

Minter’s 54 total tackles this season outpaced his next closest teammate by 15, and he also leads the way in tackles for loss with 8.5.

Minter said he wanted to apol-ogize to the fans for Saturday’s

overall performance but that he thought the Tigers improved despite the loss.

That attitude, combined with his monster game, garnered high praise from his head coach follow-ing the disappointing result.

“He has given us great leader-ship, and he is the captain of our team,” Miles said. “He is exactly what you would want from a col-lege football player.”

on the ground, including 25 straight rushes to end the game. The Gators took control of the game with an 11-play, 77-yard touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter.

All 77 yards were gained through the run.

It was the beginning of the end for LSU’s hope of an undefeated season.

I don’t blame the defense. It held Florida to 237 offensive yards. It’s the offense’s fault for not being able to stay on the fi eld and let the defense catch its breath.

Jan. 9, 2012 ring any bells? The LSU offense could barely muster more than a three-and-out in the BCS National Champion-ship Game loss to Alabama, forc-ing the defense to stay on the fi eld for much of the game.

The LSU defense spent 11 minutes, 27 seconds on the fi eld in the third quarter of Saturday’s loss.

LSU was unable to get any kind of momentum going on of-fense. It wasn’t until the early fourth quarter that the LSU offense fi nally converted a third down.

Take away wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s 56-yard reception, which he fumbled away, and Flor-ida running back Mike Gillislee outgained the Tigers 146-144.

If there’s a panic button

anywhere near offensive coordina-tor Greg Studrawa, he can feel free to press it.

Instead of remembering the Ti-gers’ 2012 trip to Gainesville, Fla., as junior linebacker Kevin Minter putting together one of the best individual defense performances in program history, LSU fans will only recall a lethargic, predictable offense that hasn’t changed a bit even with a new signal caller.

“It’s pretty diffi cult because we can’t keep them on their heels,” LSU junior running back Spencer Ware said after the game. “When we line up in regular [offensive formation] with two receivers, they know its run.”

This is an offense still search-ing for an identity after six games. And if Miles thinks the Tigers are suddenly going to fi nd one, he’s watching too much of last season’s game fi lm.

The schedule doesn’t get any easier. His players aren’t getting any healthier. More importantly, a blueprint for how to take down the Tigers was put on display — put nine defenders in the box and force quarterback Zach Mettenberger to beat you with his arm.

Muschamp begged Metten-berger to throw the ball. In the second half, the Gator defense was content to load up against the run and leave their cornerbacks

one-on-one with LSU’s receivers.Studrawa responded by call-

ing the same conservative play calls Tiger fans groaned about with Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson behind center.

When asked why the offense is struggling so much, Ware pon-dered his response for a good fi ve seconds.

“I don’t know,” Ware fi nally answered.

Don’t worry Spencer, Studra-wa and Miles don’t know either.

They might want to fi gure it out quickly before South Carolina visits Tiger Stadium this weekend. If the Gamecocks were able to hold

Georgia’s potent offense scoreless until the fourth quarter, what does that mean for an LSU offense who has scored one touchdown in eight SEC quarters?

Maybe it will force Miles to play to win instead of not to lose.

CATHERINE THRELKELD / The Daily Reveille

Florida junior defensive back Matt Elam (22) forced LSU sophomore wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to fumble the ball Saturday during the Tigers’ 14-6 loss.

coach Chuck Winstead said he wanted to see a more impres-sive start from his squad in the opening rounds of the David Toms Intercollegiate.

His wish wasn’t granted.Instead of a productive fi rst

round, the Tigers came out of the gate struggling, as four of the fi ve golfers competing for the team score fi nished over par. Thomp-son was the lone bright spot in round one, as his even-par per-formance after 18 holes kept the program within striking distance of fi rst place.

When the squad needed a leader to step up in the second round, the oldest member of the group performed as expected.

While fellow teammates Thompson, Jolly and Lewis struggled mightily, Presley turned in a 1-over 73 performance.

Even though LSU sat at 21-over par for the fi rst two rounds, they were in a position to come away from the tournament with a victory.

With the wind swirling and the temperature dropping as the golfers teed off in round three, the Tigers looked to the veteran of the squad to pull out the win.

Presley turned in his most clutch performance of the season, shooting a 2-over 74 in the fi nal round to conclude the exhausting tournament.

Teammates Lewis and Jolly both fi nished at 3-over 75 in round three, but a 14-over 230 and a 10-over 226 respectively left the players with room to improve.

Presley, who was recently ill with a stomach fl u, admitted he could have played more effi -ciently, though he is looking for-ward to preparing for the squad’s next competition at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational in Wind-ermere, Fla., on Oct. 21.

“My ball striking was defi -nitely not there this week,” Pre-sley said. “With that being said, I saved it with my short game. Hopefully I can get plenty of reps over the next few weeks and play better at [the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational].”

Moderated by CNN journal-ist E.D. Hill, the debate, billed as “The Rumble in the Air Condi-tioned Auditorium,” was available for streaming to anyone who want-ed to pay the $4.95 price tag. Half of the proceeds are being donated to charity.

Unlike the presidential de-bate between President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney last Wednesday, this showdown featured the kind of unabashed sincerity lacking in to-day’s political atmosphere.

O’Reilly, equipped with signs featuring slogans such as “Debt is Bad,” “Bush is Gone” and “Buy Your Own,” came out swinging, lambasting Obama for blaming for-mer President George W. Bush for today’s economic woes and claim-ing that 20 percent of the country are slackers who feel entitled.

“We are spending an enor-mous amount of money on 20 percent who, for whatever reason, [say] ‘we’re just not gonna cut it, we’re not gonna make a living, we’re not gonna really do any-thing,’” O’Reilly said.

The Fox News pundit also re-ferred to Georgetown Law School graduate and women’s rights ac-tivist Sandra Fluke as “the poster person for the entitlement society.”

Stewart, using an electric plat-form to raise himself to O’Reilly’s height, didn’t pull any punches ei-ther.

“My friend, Bill O’Reilly, is completely full of shit,” Stewart said.

Stewart claimed the country faces difficulties solving problems because much of the populace “has created an alternate universe in which the issues that we face revolve around a woman from

Georgetown who wanted birth control ... covered on her health in-surance in the same way Viagra is covered to many others.”

“I call this alternate reality...bullshit mountain,” the comedian said.

It was the beginning of a friendly, banter-filled discourse be-tween the two entertainers that was undoubtedly more authentic — and less uptight — than what we usu-ally hear from Capitol Hill.

Topics ranged from foreign policy to the allocation on tax rev-enues toward certain policies, such as public media and contraception coverage.

“Give me the money back for the Iraq war, and it’s rubbers for everybody on me,” Stewart pro-claimed.

O’Reilly retorted, saying that services (specifically PBS) should have to compete in the market-place and, with $16 trillion in debt,

“You’ve got to start to cut.” “Should Exxon be able to

compete on its own?” Stewart asked. “Because we give to them and other companies like it ... over $260 billion every year.”

O’Reilly began to hit his stride when criticizing the economic woes facing the country during Obama’s presidency.

“Since the president has been in office, $5,000 the average work-er has lost in pay ... and gas prices have more than doubled,” O’Reilly stated, adding later that if President Obama is re-elected, we’ll have a $20 trillion debt. “The job of the president now is to get the debt un-der control, and you’ve got to cut stuff.”

Already, the difference be-tween this debate and the presiden-tial debate earlier in the week was clear.

There was no pandering here, no vague promises and no empty

rhetoric. Each man simply offered an honest representation of his po-sition.

When entitlements came up, the fundamental moral dilemma plaguing each side of the political divide made itself apparent.

“The mindset is that if I can gin the system, I’ll do it because it’s easy,” O’Reilly said, arguing later that Obama has made it easier to apply for entitlements. “They advertise on the radio for food stamps,” he declared.

And Stewart offered the clear and unadulterated counterpoint.

“Why is it that if you take ad-vantage of a tax break and you’re a corporation, you’re a smart busi-ness man, but if you take advan-tage of something that you need to not be hungry, you’re a moocher,” Stewart replied.

More issues were covered, and at the end, questions were an-swered from audience members

and Internet users. However, the important point

to take from this event is its au-thenticity.

This wasn’t an intellectual showdown like what may be found between leftist and conservative academics. Neither debater could be called an expert in much of what they discussed.

But it did offer an earnest — and highly entertaining — discus-sion between two different politi-cal belief systems.

And that’s precisely what we need more of in this country. David Scheuermann is a 20-year-old mass communication and computer science junior from Kenner.

Stewart, O’Reilly event more substantive than presidential debate

During last week’s closely watched presidential debate, President Barack Obama criti-cized Mitt Romney’s tax plan, saying his proposals would disproportionally benefit the wealthy, unfairly burden the middle class and significantly in-crease the deficit.

And after taking a closer look at the math behind Rom-ney’s plan, it appears that Obama was right.

However, Romney vehe-mently denied the President’s claims, declaring “virtually ev-erything he said about my tax plan is inaccurate.”

The GOP contender insisted he would not raise taxes on mid-dle-income Americans and that he would not increase the deficit.

So what exactly would Rom-ney’s plan mean for taxpayers?

First off, it should be noted that President Obama has no ad-equate plan to deal with our na-tion’s debt crisis — but Rom-ney’s tax plan is far worse.

Romney would begin by per-manently extending the Bush tax cuts scheduled to expire in 2013. Next, he has proposed eliminat-ing the estate and alternative minimum taxes and imposing an across-the-board 20 percent re-duction for all income tax rates.

As Obama and most

economists have pointed out, these eliminations and reductions alone would add $5 trillion to the deficit over 10 years.

But Romney has claimed he would be able to offset these reductions through a process known as “broadening the base” — cutting back tax loopholes, de-ductions and exemptions.

In fact, this “base-broaden-ing” argument is the foundation for Romney’s entire tax plan.

Romney contests that these reductions in tax breaks, in com-bination with moderately faster economic growth brought about by lower tax rates, will make the individual income tax changes revenue-neutral.

The Republican nominee has taken a lot of heat for not disclos-ing which loopholes he would eliminate, but he said earlier this week that he would put a $17,000 cap on annual deductions, such as mortgage interest and charitable contributions.

Unfortunately for Romney, however, even if he eliminated every loophole and deduction, it wouldn’t be able to make up for the cost of his massive tax cuts.

According to Brookings In-stitution economist William Gale, who co-authored a study of Rom-ney’s tax plan for the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, “Romney’s plan doesn’t come close to pay-ing for the $5 trillion.”

As a result of Romney’s plan falling short, the Tax Policy Cen-ter concluded that $86 billion of the shared national tax burden would be shifted onto the middle

class in 2015 alone. Otherwise, that amount would just be added to the federal deficit.

President Obama perfectly described Romney’s tax plan in last week’s debate: “The fact is, if you are lowering the rates the way you describe, Governor, it is not possible to come up with enough deductions or loopholes.”

Obama added, “It is math. It is arithmetic.”

Because Romney’s tax plan is based on the incorrect prem-ise that he can actually pay for the gargantuan, across-the-board cuts in individual tax rates, there are two possible outcomes.

Either he will further in-crease the deficit, which he has flat-out refused to do, or he will just have to shift the burden to the middle class.

In a better world, Romney’s

plan would be considered non-sense and laughed out of the debate. Jay Meyers is a 19-year-old economics sophomore from Shreveport.

Romney tax plan not mathematically possible

U.S. soldier pleads case after Sixth Amendment violation

UWIRE — Pfc. Bradley Man-ning made headlines in 2010 when he was arrested for the leak of around 250,000 private docu-ments concerning operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to the website WikiLeaks, known for its mission of transparency in government.

Manning was arrested on May 26, 2010 and has been under U.S. military detainment ever since.

Recently, Manning’s defense attorney, David Coombs, filed a motion stating that Manning’s charges should be dismissed be-cause his right to a speedy trial has been completely violated.

“As of the date of this mo-tion, Pfc. Manning has been in pretrial confinement for 845 days,” Coombs said. “With trial scheduled to commence on Feb. 4, 2013, Pfc. Manning will have spent a grand total of 983 days in pretrial confinement before even a single piece of evidence is offered against him.”

Whether he is labeled a whis-tleblower or a cyber-terrorist, the handling of such a nonviolent criminal case by the military’s judicial system is absolutely hor-rendous. The underlying motive for journalists and the press is to inform an otherwise uninformed democratic society so people with-in can choose their political candi-dates accordingly.

Never in the history of the U.S. has any administration utilized the Espionage Act so frequently as President Barack Obama’s ad-ministration, and the exponential expansion of information into the hands of people through technol-ogy undoubtedly plays a role in the increase of these cases.

It’s ironic that Manning’s im-position of restraint could be more than 630 days before the trial for exposing the espionage acts of our government and then get charged as a spy.

We are entering a new age where government officials cannot protect their classified informa-tion from the people, and we are

starting to see an increased vigi-lance among the Internet commu-nity as a form of civil disobedience.

Users’ understanding of the Internet is increasing at a remark-able rate. The advances have been rapid, and it’s getting harder for anybody, including our govern-ment, to hide anything.

Manning’s case proves that Internet-related activities are going to fall under ever-increasing scru-tiny until it is no longer a forum for the people.

Granted, Manning most likely had animosity toward the military and his peers because of the treat-ment toward his alleged “gender confusion,” as the military calls it. Wherever his motives to leak the information came from, Manning kept the military’s over-reaching arm in check.

The crimes blatantly commit-ted on the videos are far worse than anything Manning has done, but none of these personnel were convicted or tried for any of these crimes.

This case will undoubtedly set

a precedent to decide how much the government can get away with in regards to military operations and prisoner detainment.

While the media tried to gen-erate ad revenue off other stories like the Trayvon Martin case, the Manning case fell to the wayside. It’s easy to get the public riled up over issues like race, but get-ting the public riled up against the

military-industrial complex is against the corporate conglomer-ates’ and governmental institu-tion’s interests.
