It’s normal for high school foot-ball players to observe a university’s athletic program’s success before they commit to a school, but non-athletes may also be infl uenced by a university’s football season record.
The Offi ce of Undergraduate Admissions saw a continual in-crease in undergraduate applications throughout the fall and is still notic-ing a spike after LSU’s almost fl aw-less season ended at the 2012 All-state BCS National Championship Game in January .
Last year, Undergraduate Ad-missions received 14,818 applica-tions for the fall 2011 semester. As of mid-April 2012 , 15,928 applica-tions had poured in for the fall 2012 semester.
The jump represents an almost 7.5 percent increase and will contin-ue to grow, according to David Kur-pius , associate vice chancellor for enrollment management . Applica-tions for the fall 2012 semester will be accepted until Aug. 17 , the Friday before classes begin.
Kurpius said he is unable to at-tribute the increase entirely to LSU’s
Todd Graves said he wants to be the chicken fi nger version of Xerox.
When people make a copy, they’re making a Xerox , he said. He aspires to have that interchangeable name association between Raising Cane’s and chicken fi ngers.
Accompanied by his famous yellow lab, Cane, Graves spoke with business professor Robert Justis’ franchising class Tuesday morning about his road to success in founding Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers .
Graves said entrepreneurs need to be focused and have a vision for
their business because “if you don’t have a vision, you don’t have a guide for where you want your business to go.”
He’d seen restaurants specializ-ing in chicken fi ngers while he was in college in Georgia and wanted to bring that concept to Louisiana. His idea was to have a limited menu consisting of high-quality food at a fast-food rate.
Graves teamed up with a friend who was studying at LSU and worked to create a business plan for what would become Raising Cane’s .
Graves’ partner presented the pair’s “bible on chicken fi ngers” to his business class and received the
worst grade. The professor told him the business plan was good but the concept wasn’t.
The professor said though the concept worked in Georgia, it wouldn’t be successful in Louisiana because the people are different.
“Conventional wisdom needs to be broken sometimes,” Graves said. “If you tell an entrepreneur they can’t do something, it makes them want to prove that they can even more.”
Despite the discouragement, Graves followed through with his plan to create a chicken fi nger restau-rant. But he soon learned banks don’t
The numerous pots of jamba-laya surrounding Tiger Stadium during each home football game may become a lot more colorful this fall.
Tiger fans clad in purple will be able to consume the color in another form — purple rice.
Milton Rush , president of Rush Rice Products and former LSU AgCenter rice patholo-gist, crossed Cypress rice and Hitan Kitan rice to create the purple-colored concoction.
But Rush didn’t have
tailgating in mind 12 years ago when he began developing this, which he named Blanca Isabel af-ter his wife.
Rush said he was working to create a healthier rice variety, and when he combined Cypress and Hitan Kitan , the cross yielded a deep purple color.
“The purple color was an ac-cident but a perfect one. It is the true LSU purple,” Rush said.
The compounds in Blanca Isabel have been recognized as health-enhancing substances due to their antioxidant activ-ity, anti-infl ammatory, anti-cancer, anti-atherogenic and
anti-hypoglycemic effects, ac-cording to Rush Rice Products’ website.
Agnes M. Rimando , U.S. De-partment of Agriculture and Agri-cultural Research Service chem-ist, researched the Blanca Isabel rice and found a naturally occur-ring amount of resveratrol, the compound in red wine reported to provide health benefi ts including anti-cancer activity.
“Resveratrol has never been reported in rice anywhere in the world,” Rush said. “It makes this variety pretty unusual.”
Last year, Rush planted and harvested two acres of
Blanca Isabel in Rayne . This year, 27 acres of the rice variety were planted just outside of Crowley .
“We will harvest the rice in late July and then harvest it and mill it in early August, so it should be in the stores in time for football season,” Rush said.
Blanca Isabel is currently sold in a number of grocery stores including Calvin’s and Calandro’s in Baton Rouge.
Rush said he hopes to expand the number of grocery vendors and break into the Whole Foods and Market Fresh market.

Osama bin Laden assassinated one year ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Obama administration offi cial says Osama bin Laden wanted to see President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus assassinated.
But Michael Leiter tells NBC’s “Today” show he didn’t think that necessarily was bin Laden’s high-est priority, suggesting the ter-rorist leader dreamed of another large-scale, 9/11-type attack on the United States.
Asked by “Today” host Matt Lauer on Tuesday whether bin Lad-en’s aim of seeing Obama assas-sinated was more of a “wish-list” than a plot, Leiter agreed.
Leiter served as head of the National Counterterrorism Cen-ter during the Obama administra-tion. He was present with Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Sec-retary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the White House a year ago as they monitored the U.S. op-eration that killed bin Laden at a Pakistan compound.
Bin Laden wanted Obama, Petraeus assassinated, another U.S. attack
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama gave a steely defense of his handling of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and his use of it to burnish his re-election credentials a year later, saying Monday that it is appropriate to mark an anniver-sary that Republicans charge is be-ing turned into a campaign bumper sticker.
He then jumped at the chance to portray presumed Republican presi-dential challenger Mitt Romney as unprepared to make the kind of hard call required to send U.S. forces on that highly risky mission. With-out mentioning Romney by name, Obama recommended looking at people’s previous statements on the manhunt for the 9/11 mastermind.
Obama’s re-election team has seized on a quote from Romney in 2007, when he said it was not worth moving heaven and earth to go after one person. On Monday, Romney said he “of course” would have ordered bin Laden killed, but his campaign criticized Obama for turning the successful death raid to political gain.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. offi cials say the public will soon be able to read some of Osama bin Laden’s last written or typed words online.
White House counterter-rorism chief John Brennan says some of the declassifi ed docu-ments will be posted online by the U.S. Army’s Combating Ter-rorism Center at West Point mili-tary academy this week.
The documents were gath-ered by Navy SEALs from bin Laden’s compound in Abbot-tabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011.
The trove included corre-spondence between the terror leader and affi liates, and his own hand-written diary.
Brennan says America is safer with bin Laden gone, along with other key leaders killed after the raid.
He quoted bin Laden himself, who wrote that the group would not survive with its experienced chiefs being removed faster than he could replace them.

“The Full Monty” discusses all things dead week on LMFAO entertainment blog.
God’s place in today’s world was up for debate Tuesday in Hill Memorial Library.
During a lecture by Henrik Syse, a senior research fellow at the Peace Research Institute Oslo, the philoso-pher said many people around the world think a crisis of civilization is under way as terrorism, distrust and a willingness to use violence increas-ingly appear in the media.
As civilization progresses, the world’s inhabitants face a number of challenges, Syse said. The world’s environment does not know how to cater to such a vast amount of people, and a global crisis could be the greatest challenge to civilization since the Black Death.
Another hurdle exists in the drastic technological advancement of the 21st century. The progress has not solved humanity’s existential problems, leaving people wanting more, Syse said.
“As technology fills our lives, people ask, ‘Is that all?’” he said.
The worldwide financial crisis is yet another challenge people face. The morals that were used to build capitalism seem to have disappeared, Syse said, leading him to ask what happened to caring about the com-mon good, liberal education and a
sense of decency.Finally, now more than ever,
mankind possesses the ability to de-stroy itself with nuclear weapons and global distrust, according to Syse.
In the midst of these challenges, he said an increasing prevalence of religion and belief in God is seen in many parts of the world.
But that’s not always the case, especially in the influential world of college.
Jonathan Chetta, a general stud-ies sophomore who identified him-self as a Christian, said it might be easy for some students to lose their faith during the transition to college.
“You’re not living in your parents’ house anymore,” he said. “You may not feel obligated to go to church anymore because you don’t have to.”
Students begin thinking for themselves and questioning if they want religion as a part of their lives, Chetta said.
He said religion is a personal matter — each individual decides how much to devote to it. He said his faith has grown in college with the realization of the steps he could take to strengthen it.
Syse said if people do not mas-ter or care about the discourses of God, religion and spirituality, then civilization will be ill-equipped in confronting the aforementioned challenges.

CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFSStudent arrested for hit-and-run, DWI
Student damages bathroom mirror
Man arrested for Dairy Store thefts
Officers arrested general busi-ness student William Eaton for a hit-and-run and DWI on April 27.
The 18-year-old student from 22 Pale Dawn Place, The Wood-lands, Texas, was driving reckless-ly on East Campus Drive with a flat tire and damaged vehicle. LSU Police Department spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said officers determined the vehicle had struck a tree near the University’s Paul M. Hebert Law Center. Lalonde said the driver showed signs of in-toxication but refused to submit to chemical testing.
Eaton was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Officers issued a misdemeanor summons to petroleum engineering student Cody Holmberg on April 27 for simple criminal damage to property.
Lalonde said officers respond-ed to a report of damage to a mir-ror in the fifth-floor bathroom of Herget Hall. Officers identified the suspect as Holmberg, a 19-year-old student from 1153 Brighton Road, Naperville, Ill. Lalonde said after officers spoke with Holmberg, he acknowledged damaging the mir-ror.
He was issued a misdemeanor summons and released.
Brandon Snerling, LSU Ag-Center transient employee, was ar-rested April 27 for felony theft.
Lalonde said a total of more than $1,400 was reported stolen from the Dairy Store on multiple occasions. Upon further investiga-tion, Lalonde said LSUPD detec-tives identified Snerling as a sus-pect. The 24-year-old from 4054 Tuscarora St. admitted to the theft after further questioning.
He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Man issued summons for no tail lights
LSUPD officers issued a mis-demeanor summons to Jasper Ja-von Baker on April 23 for driving without a license.
Lalonde said the 23-year-old from 6251 D’Juanna Drive was traveling south on Nicholson Drive near Nicholson Extension without taillights on his vehicle when an officer conducted a routine traffic stop. Baker was unable to provide a valid license.
He was issued a misdemeanor summons and released.

For five-and-a-half innings, it looked like No. 4 LSU (36-10) was in line for another nail-biter.
But a huge sixth inning stifled any thought of another one-run game in LSU’s 9-5 win against Tulane (29-16) on Tuesday night in Alex Box Sta-dium.
The Tigers were clinging to a 3-2 lead in a see-saw game before plat-ing six runs in the sixth inning to take complete control.
LSU’s last two midweek games — against Lamar and Southeastern — were one-run LSU wins.
“We had several big hits in that inning, sev-eral good at-bats,” said LSU coach Paul Main-ieri. “It was nice to see us break it open like that.
We hate to play one-run games every night. It was nice to get a little breathing room.”
The outbreak inning wasn’t all LSU’s doing — it got help from some shoddy fielding by the Tulane infield.
After junior outfielder Raph Rhymes punched his second hit of the game into right center field for a single, senior designated hitter Jordy Snikeris followed with a smash that glanced off Tulane third baseman Garrett Cannizaro’s glove, putting runners at second and third.
The error bug bit the Green Wave again after two quick outs — except this time, the bite stung.
Tulane junior shortstop Brennan Middleton misplayed a sharply hit ball by LSU senior third baseman Tyler Hanover, allowing two to score
New LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones put the finishing touch on his primary staff Tuesday, as he announced the hiring of veteran assistant coach Robert Kirby.
Kirby spent the past two years at Georgetown as an assistant. The Hoyas won at least 20 games and made the NCAA Tournament in both seasons.
“Coach Kirby will be a great ad-dition to our bas-ketball staff here at LSU,” Jones said in a news re-lease. “He has a strong knowledge of the game. He is a great teacher on the floor and de-veloper of players.”
Kirby is also a renowned re-cruiter and has ties to the Southeast’s fertile recruiting grounds.
The Memphis, Tenn., native spent a total of 13 seasons as an as-sistant at Mississippi State in two separate stints and one season at Southeastern Louisiana from 1988 to 1989.
“With his ability as one of the top recruiters in the country, he will be very beneficial for our basketball program moving forward,” Jones said,
Jones hired assistant coaches Shawn Forrest and Charlie Leonard last week.
New LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones emphasized the importance of his “Tiger fam-ily” after accepting the job last month.
One of Jones’ former co-workers knows he means it.
“Johnny is the closest thing I have to a brother,” said longtime former LSU assistant coach Bob Starkey.
Starkey, who is now an as-sistant for the women’s squad at Texas A&M, shared the bench with Jones when the two were assistants under former LSU coach Dale Brown from 1990 to 1997, forming a kindred bond in
the process.The pair have maintained
close contact through the years, even as Jones left LSU in 1997 for Memphis, then Alabama and eventually North Texas.
“I have a tremendous rela-tionship with Bobby,” Jones said. “The good thing is what you see is what you get. He’s a positive energy for anyone, always up and never down.”
A year after Jones left, Star-key swapped roles at LSU, be-coming an assistant on late wom-en’s coach Sue Gunter’s staff, and he remained with the Lady Tigers through two other head coaches until 2011. Starkey was the in-terim coach in 2007 after former coach Pokey Chatman resigned,
and he led LSU to a fourth straight Final Four.
But none of that may have happened without his friendship with Jones.
Starkey considered leaving the coaching profession in 1993. He was the third assistant on Brown’s staff — a limited earn-ings position — and had just mar-ried his wife, Sherie.
“Johnny came over to my house to talk,” Starkey said. “By the time he left, I was a coach again. I might be running a res-taurant business in Baton Rouge right now if Johnny hadn’t taken the time to convince me.”
Jones said he didn’t want to
I’ll never claim to have as much swag as ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas. Come on, he’s a swagger hound.
But one area in which I do con-sider myself on par with Bilas is my distaste for the way universities can restrict where student-athletes trans-fer. I’m disgusted with what institu-tions think they can get away with.
The recent situation with the LSU men’s basketball team got me thinking about these restrictions. Af-ter former head coach Trent Johnson bolted for TCU, I expected at least a few of the players to leave as well.
The NCAA loves to try and brainwash us that the athlete should choose the school, not the coach. I’m not buying it.
I would have wanted to leave if I was like rising sophomore guard Anthony Hickey or sophomore for-ward Johnny O’Bryant III, who thought Johnson would be around for the long haul. No big deal, right? The coach leaves, so the player should be able to transfer and go wherever he pleases.
Not so fast, my friend. Just ask Wisconsin redshirt freshman for-ward Jarrod Uthoff.
Uthoff decided to transfer from Wisconsin after this season, but

LSU sophomore pitcher Joe Broussard hurls the ball Tuesday during the Tigers’ 9-5 victory against Tulane University.

and prolonging the inning.“I’m trying to put hard con-
tact on the ball and get a base hit up the middle,” Hanover said. “I put a really good swing on the ball ... and forced the defense to make a play. Fortunately enough, it ate him up and I was able to get on base.”
Four batters later, the Tigers opened up a commanding seven-run lead with a two-run triple, a run-scoring double and single.
Senior shortstop Austin Nola, hitting from the No. 2 spot in the LSU lineup for the fi rst time this season, paced the LSU offense with a solo home run and a double.
The homer was Nola’s third on the season and his second in the last four games. It barely cleared the wall, taking advan-tage of a strong wind out to left fi eld.
“I’ve seen [Tulane junior pitcher Alex] Byo two times be-fore, and I felt like I was seeing it really well,” Nola said. “I got a pitch up in the zone to drive and I got it up in the wind.”
Sophomore Joe Broussard got the start on the mound for LSU and made it through four inconsistent innings before be-ing pulled in favor of junior left-hander Brent Bonvillain in the fi fth inning.
Bonvillain (4-0, 2.55) got the win in relief, though he wasn’t particularly sharp either, giving up two hits and a run in one in-ning.
Mainieri said he was pleased with the effort from Broussard,
even if it was uneven.“Joe’s control kind of comes
and goes like the wind,” Mainieri said. “He’ll throw two or three pitches and look like a major leaguer, and then all of a sudden he can’t fi nd the strike zone.”
After a fi ve-game homestand, the Tigers travel to Oxford, Miss., on Friday to take on Ole Miss in their third-to-last weekend series of the regular season.
lose his right-hand man next to him on the bench or see Starkey waste his basketball knowledge.
“Bob has a gift for teaching basketball, so he needed to share that,” Jones said. “He knew he’d be cheating himself if he didn’t see coaching through. I didn’t think he understood how valuable he was to the people he worked with.”
LSU Senior Associate Sports Information Director Kent Lowe said the duo’s special rapport was characteristic of the close-knit atmosphere around the Tigers at the time.
“The coaching staff in the Dale days was always very tight,” Lowe said. “With Bob and John-ny, it was always about caring for the kids they coached. They were naturals to work well together.”
Starkey penned a heartfelt, poignant blog post after Jones, a DeRidder native, accepted his “dream job” two weeks ago.
But Jones wasn’t the only one with a career move to consider. Starkey was an assistant at Cen-tral Florida last season, and he had an offer on the table to become an A&M assistant as the LSU job opened up to Jones.
Starkey said Jones would barely allow any LSU
discussions when they talked re-cently, instead focusing on his friend’s own decision.
“He put his talks on the back burner to help me with a decision to go to Texas A&M,” Starkey said. “Johnny was thinking more about me than his own dream. With Johnny’s Texas ties, he knew the program and told me I couldn’t pass up the opportunity at A&M. That held a lot of weight for me. He’s one of two or three people I always listen to.”
Badger coach Bo Ryan wasn’t going to just let him go anywhere his heart desired.
Ryan blocked Uthoff from schools in the Big 10 , Atlantic Coast Conference , Florida or Marquette University . It’s ridiculous that a coach thinks he should have that much power over where a transfer wants to go.
I understand why he doesn’t want Uthoff transferring anywhere in the conference. But in no way, shape or form should Ryan be able to tell a student-athlete that he can’t attend a university halfway across the country if he feels Wisconsin
isn’t the right fi t.After Ryan was called out on
ESPN Radio’s “Mike & Mike in the Morning” for his ridiculous de-nial of Uthoff’s request, the school fi nally approved him to transfer to any school not in the Big 10 .
It’s sad it took a national radio show to get Wisconsin and Ryan to change their mind.
Uthoff was lucky. While he hasn’t made his college choice yet, he’ll actually be able to transfer to an institution to complete both his basketball and academic career at the college level.
Florida International sopho-more Dominique Ferguson isn’t so lucky. He made his request to
transfer even before NBA Hall of Fame coach Isaiah Thomas was fi red April 6 .
Ferguson said he wanted to move closer to his family in the Midwest and look into attending a smaller school where he could get one-on-one work in the classroom. There was no reason for FIU to deny his request to transfer.
Well, they did.What’s even worse is the e-mail
Ferguson received from the univer-sity.
“We believe it is in your best in-terest to continue your studies here at FIU,” the e-mail read. “We would particularly encourage you to apply yourself to your courses for the rest
of the semester.”It sickens me that FIU blatantly
told Ferguson he should continue to attend the university. There’s no way a school can tell a student-athlete what is in his best interests.
Since the school still won’t ap-prove his transfer, he was forced to declare for the NBA draft. Ferguson averaged 8.7 points as a sophomore. He’s not going to get drafted.
Does FIU really think it’s in his “best interest” to be essentially forced out of school with nowhere else to go?
Both Uthoff and Ferguson would have to sit out a year wherev-er they transfer. Is there any reason to deny them the right to start over
somewhere else?The NCAA is hypocritical
when it comes to athletes transfer-ring. It’s perfectly fi ne for coaches to recruit players to come play for them and then bolt at the fi rst sight of a better job or more money. But when a student-athlete makes the decision that a situation isn’t right for him, he faces a grueling and unfair process.

just hand out loans.To earn money, Graves spent
time working as a boilermaker in Los Angeles and then switched to commercial fi shing for sockeye salmon in Alaska.
Eventually, he was able to open the fi rst Cane’s location at the north gates of campus and expand from there.
But Graves warned the class about growing too fast. He opened fi ve locations in fi ve months and opened a sixth two months later. With the quick expansion, Graves said the concept and vision “got away from us.”
Learning not to overgrow was the fi rst big lesson he said he learned in business. Afterward, he worked to develop a more solid vision, recruit-ing, marketing and design plan.
Cane’s now boasts 122 loca-tions in 16 states. Graves said he hasn’t changed anything on the menu other than portion size since the restaurant’s opening.
The original menu consisted of a Box combo and a sandwich.
Graves stressed the importance of having a faithful, lively crew, and he said his employee turnover rate is 88 percent, as compared to the typi-cal 300 percent of most fast food res-taurants.
He encouraged the budding entrepreneurs in the class to have a presence and give back to the com-munity. He said it’s not only the right thing to do, but it ultimately brings in a greater profi t for the business.
Matt Menard, sports manage-ment graduate student , said there have been visitors to the class from other franchises, such as Smoothie King , Wendy’s and Taco Bell .
Menard said he was looking for-ward to hear from Graves because of his notable presence in Baton Rouge.
“It’s really interesting to hear how [Raising Cane’s] got started,” he said.

successful football season, but he ac-knowledged that it is a factor.
“I defi nitely think football has had an impact on our numbers,” Kur-pius said.
Undergraduate Admissions has access to application data that can specify how many applications were submitted in a specifi c week or weekend.
“I knew we would see spikes in applications after weekend football wins, and we did,” Kurpius said. “We did not see a spike on weeks that the football team was off.”
Kurpius said his offi ce is trying to better utilize data so they know where they need to branch out and be seen.
For example, the recruiting branch within Undergraduate Ad-missions knew a large number of people would watch the No. 1 team play in a primetime football game, so they ran recruiting ads during those games.
“We absolutely take advantage of the football team’s success to en-tice more students to apply to LSU,” Kurpius said. “It gives us national exposure.”
According to the Offi ce of Bud-get and Planning , the increase in applications following a successful
football season is not a new trend for LSU.
When LSU won the national championship in January 2004 after the 2003 season, the number of ap-plications received for the fall 2004 semester increased more than 9 per-cent from the previous year.
Similarly, when LSU defeated Ohio State in the national champi-onship in January 2008 , the number of applications submitted for the fall 2008 semester increased by almost 32 percent.
But the jump in applications does not guarantee the same spike in admissions.
Kurpius said part of the problem is that some of these high school stu-dents are basing their college deci-sions solely on Tyrann Mathieu and the celebrity of the University’s foot-ball program.
“It is not a surprise that some of these non-athlete students do not meet the admission requirements,” Kurpius said. “Especially if they are from out of state and do not have the advantage of their school counselors knowing all of LSU’s admission standards.”

Blanca Isabel is also prepared and served at Beausoleil Restau-rant & Bar and Bellue’s Fine Ca-jun Cuisine in Baton Rouge. Rush said Drunken Fish , near campus on Highland Road, recently purchased the rice as well.
Beausoleil chef Nathan Gresh-am said there was no question whether he would create a plate for Beausoleil’s menu utilizing the purple rice when Rush approached him about his new product a few months ago.
Gresham used the Blanca Isa-bel rice to make a traditional rice pilaf and topped it with a crispy braised veal cheek.
“It is a healthier variety and it is so different,” Gresham said. “Ev-eryone loves it. More people are coming in requesting the dish, and we have seen an increase in rice sales.”
Gresham said he plans to create a new rice dish for the fall.
“I want to make a purple and gold dish for football season using yellow saffron rice in addition to the Blanca Isabel rice,” Gresham said. “Or I might use the rice in a gumbo.”
Blanca Isabel rice may also
give way to the creation of another LSU tailgating necessity — purple beer.
Paul Wilson , LSU food sci-ence professor , said he has had fun attempting to create a purple brew from the Blanca Isabel rice variety.
“Wouldn’t it be interesting to advertise a health-promoting purple beer full of antioxidants?” Wilson said.
Wilson said in an e-mail that he has worked with Tin Roof Brewing Company on his own time, but the company is currently unable to take on this new project because of the work required for its current prod-uct lines.
Wilson is not working through the AgCenter because the AgCenter discourages any beer research.
Rush has also spoken with Ab-ita Brewing Company , and Wilson has spoken with an entrepreneur in Michigan about possibly creating this new beer.
No release date is yet in sight for the purple beer since research and experimentation are still being planned.

Our website, lsureveille.com, has been absolutely buzzing with reader comments. Check it out today, and let your voice be heard.
In response to Matthew Westfall’s Head to Head column about drug testing welfare recipients, “It feeds stereotypes of the poor as drug users,” readers had this to say:
“The number of failed persons is low because the people who knew they were go-ing to fail dropped out before they could fail the drug test. Stop making it seem like only 108 wel-fare recipients would have failed if they all took it. I can imagine if all of them actually took the test, the number would go up 10 fold. You’re an idiot. They don’t have some sort of right to my money, because guess what: Every penny that is
paid to them was our money. Do you really want it going toward drugs? If so, I know a few ‘homeless’ people down at the circle k near campus would love to take that extra money off your hands.”- Jonathan
Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up on education?
On April 23, alongside charismatic Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , Romney took a grand pivot to-ward the center on the federally subsidized student loan interest rates set to expire July 1.
Having almost fi nished the public event, Romney realized he’d forgotten to say some-thing to the thousands of college students across America concerned with the soon-to-expire inter-est rates.
Here we go again. It’s called fl ip-fl op fatigue, and Romney’s got it.
His symptoms are getting much worse, as he can hardly remember which side to pander to.
His recent ideological swing doesn’t match up with the previous hard line he took against gov-ernment help with student debt or his stance on funding for higher education.
In March, a high school senior from Ohio asked Romney at a town hall meeting what he would do to help students pay for college. Rom-ney replied, “It would be popular for me to stand up and say, ‘I’m going to give you government money to pay for your college,’ but I’m not going to promise that. ... Don’t expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.”
Now that President Barack Obama has launched a campaign to extend low interest rates on federally funded student loans and signaled he’d make it central in the presidential race, Rom-ney has drastically shifted his views.
During the press conference with Rubio , Romney stated that “with the number of college graduates that can’t fi nd work or that can only fi nd work well beneath their skill level, I fully support the effort to extend the low interest rate on student loans.”
Let the Etch-A-Sketching begin.If we’ve learned one thing from Romney , it’s
that it’s better to look at his actions instead of sim-ply listening to his words. After all, Mitt Romney is the “pander bear” of American politics.
Under Romney’s policies as governor of Massachusetts, fees on state college campuses increased 63 percent, according to the Massachu-setts Board of Higher Education.
The fee hikes were enacted by each campus to offset deep budget cuts of about $140 million, or about 14 percent during the fi scal crisis.
Romney also came out in support of Wiscon-sin Rep. Paul Ryan’s radical budget proposal — the same budget proposal that would cut $170 bil-lion from funding for Pell grants, while allowing the interest rate for federally subsidized Stafford loans to double.
Many Republicans are far more interested in cutting taxes, largely for the rich, than they are in helping low- and middle-income students get a college education.
With the Ryan budget, money being cut from higher education would be used to offset the $3 trillion in tax cuts for high-income households and corporations.
Romney’s advice for students: “The best thing I can do for you is to tell you to shop around.”
President Obama doesn’t have to pander to young people — he’s already wildly popular with them because he’s held the same pro-education stance all along.
The Obama administration has taken historic steps to provide Americans with a fair shot at an
affordable college education, and during the presi-dent’s weekly address, he reiterated that “higher education cannot be a luxury. It’s an economic im-perative that every family must be able to afford.”
Some proponents of the Ryan budget believe that curbing student loans would counteract the curbing of federal aid. But making it harder for our younger people to afford higher education is not the answer to helping the economy or our coun-try’s fi nancial woes.
Obama points out that “when a big chunk of every paycheck goes toward loan debt … it’s pain-ful for the economy because that money is not go-ing to help businesses grow.”
Raising the rates would put students in a deep fi nancial hole before they even get a shot at suc-cess.
So, the question remains: Where does Mitt Romney actually stand on higher education? And after years of fl ip-fl opping, does it really matter?

Editor’s note: This column contains explicit language.
Lil’ Boosie is out chea!But he’s not out gang-banging
with guns on West Garfield Street with his crew as depicted in his music video for “We Out Chea.”
This time, Boosie’s out chea (out of Angola, that is) for trial. Jury selection started Monday.
The Baton Rouge rapper, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, is facing a first-degree mur-der charge in the murder-for-hire of Terry Boyd.
Hatch is accused of paying Michael “Marlo Mike” Louding to kill Boyd in 2009.
Boosie is currently in jail for conspiring to smuggle drugs into Angola and a third-offense mari-juana possession charge.
The trial is like any other, except for one thing — District Judge Mike Erwin is allowing the jurors to hear some of Boosie’s ultra-violent lyrics.
This move brings up the ques-tion: Should one’s creative work be available for use against him or her in court?
Prosecutor Dana Cummings said she considers some of the lyr-ics “admission” and will use them to demonstrate Boosie’s “intent, motive and plan,” according to The Advocate.
It doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to convince the jury Boosie is a killer from the lyr-ics of many of his songs — which is why they should not be allowed in court.
In one song, titled “187,” Boosie raps, “I’m the reason why the murder rate is sky high,” and “any nigga who try to play me, they dead now.”
The chorus repeats the word “murda.”
In another song, “Lime Light,” Boosie raps, “Marlo Mike up in the back seat beggin’ for a body.”
In “We Out Chea,” Boosie raps in the first verse, “Fuck wit me, die slow,” and “I’m go-ing to do this shit myself, fuck
the consequences.” The music video also depicts
Boosie and his crew a few blocks from campus pointing pistols into the camera and beating a man in an empty lot.
Sure, the music is violent. But does it necessarily show guilt?
Look at Bret Easton Ellis’ novel “American Psycho.” It’s filled with extremely graphic mur-ders involving chain saws, acid and nail guns, among others. That’s far more intense than any Boosie
song, but Ellis was never accused of murder — just indecency and a sick mind.
Another example is Eminem. In his song “3 a.m.,” he raps about wrapping his cousin in Christmas lights, pushing him in a bath tub, cutting him into pieces and then drinking his blood. No one pointed at Eminem and called him a killer, either.
But imagine if these artists were on trial for a violent crime. Displaying the violent aspects of
their art for the jury can only do one thing — imply guilt.
So why is it happening now to Boosie?
Whether or not he is guilty, the lyrics are probably being allowed because the prosecutors don’t have enough evidence to convict him.
If they did have enough evi-dence, there would be no need to let the jury listen to the music. Oth-erwise, the facts would speak for themselves.
Though I am not a lawyer, I would suggest Judge Irwin imple-ment a gag order on the jury so they do not listen to Boosie’s songs or watch his music videos.
I doubt one can listen to Boosie’s songs or watch his videos and still view him objectively for a fair trial.
It’s hard to defend some-one who appears to be a criminal through his or her art, especially when the person is on trial for murder.
But it’s a low-blow to use someone’s art against him or her in court.
Allowing creative work in court sets a precedent for the fu-ture. Will artists start to suppress their creativity for fear it could be used against them in court?
I hope not, but if all goes as planned, Boosie will be found guilty whether or not he really is.
See you at the Angola Prison Rodeo.

Clouds are awesome.You can lie out on a pretty day
and look up at the sky, imagining the shapes and objects each cloud looks like.
They protect us from the sun, provide us rain to run around in and also give us cool words like “cumulonimbus.”
These days, the term “cloud” also refers to storing and sharing your data online.
In a nutshell, cloud storage re-fers to saving data to a company’s server which can be accessed re-motely from numerous devices with Internet connection.
Basically, you can save stuff online and access it almost wher-ever you want.
Many companies, small and large, provide cloud storage
services: Dropbox, Microsoft Sky-Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Wua-la, Cubby and Apple iCloud, just to name a few.
A big name missing from that list is Google.
That all changed last week when Google released its version of cloud storage, Google Drive.
The service could be poten-tially big for University students due to its ease of access and use with TigerMail (which is Gmail).
Google Drive offers five giga-bytes of free storage to everyone, which can be used to save almost any type of file.
While this may not sound dif-ferent from other similar services, Google Drive distinguishes itself with its search capabilities. Not only can users quickly search with-in files uploaded to Drive, they can also search on scanned text in im-ages uploaded, using character rec-ognition running in Google Cloud.
Since so many people, includ-ing University students, are already
connected through Gmail, upgrad-ing to Drive is a breeze.
Not only does it work on Google-based services, Drive can also be downloaded to your PC or Mac.
Once activated, a folder ap-pears on your desktop, and users simply drag the files they want saved on their drive. The files are copied and accessible on any other computer connected to the Internet.
Google Drive is also avail-able on Android devices, of course, with an iOS version to be released “in the coming weeks,” according to a Google spokesman.
There’s been no word on Win-dows Phone or Blackberry ver-sions yet.
With Google and Apple being such competitors in the tech indus-try, their products will always be compared to one another.
iCloud officially launched last year, syncing Macs, iPhones, iPads and basically any other device with an “i” in front of it.
However, Apple doesn’t allow users the same type of control or access into its iCloud.
Sure, the service is very easy to use — it’s an Apple product, after all — but there isn’t much transparency there. Users can’t re-ally delve too much into the inner-workings of iCloud.
Google Drive allows users more access to the files saved on the service, but it may be more daunting at first to someone unfa-miliar with cloud storage.
If you’re looking for an online backup that automatically saves all of your files on your computer to the cloud in case of accidental deletes or file corruptions, Google Drive doesn’t appear to be there yet.
Services like Dropbox or Ap-ple’s Time Machine may be a bet-ter solution, since those save not only your current files, but older versions of your files as well, in case of emergency.
Google entering the cloud
storage game just means another heated competition between these tech giants for the users’ hard-earned dollar.
What’s great right now, how-ever, is all of the services I’ve mentioned in this column offer free storage that is upgradable later.
While Apple users will stick with iCloud because they have to, Google Drive seems like an obvious choice for heavy Google/Android users, and SkyDrive is great for those with Windows Phone.
I’m just kidding. No one actu-ally uses a Windows Phone.
