The offi ce of East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Kip Holden rolled out its “FUTUREBR” survey Tues-day evening, allowing citizens more input into the city’s urban planning.
Holden unveiled the survey at a ceremony at the Louisiana State Museum . Those in attendance heard
from him and from John Fregonese , the architect of the city’s plan.
Fregonese gave a presentation Tuesday that showed how the city plans for future improvements and development.
The 15-question FUTUREBR survey asks Baton Rougeans what they would like to see the city look like 20 years from now. It’s aimed at getting citizen input on the East Baton Rouge Comprehensive Plan , the city’s planning process for land use and development.
Rannah Gray , a spokeswoman for the project, said the survey is
designed to determine what resi-dents’ priorities are so planners can focus on those desires.
“Do you like big yards? How important is parking to you? Is it important to have parks or walkable neighborhoods with lots of side-walks? You get to choose with this survey,” Gray said.
Gray said project planners are looking for citizen input, including college student participation.
“We’re going to try to get stu-dents to take the survey,” she said.

Students might not be able to wear many of the honorary orna-mentations they worked to attain at the next commencement ceremony because of a recent Faculty Senate memorandum.
Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope said the Senate created an ad-visory memorandum that limits the honorary ornamentations — includ-ing cords, ribbons and stoles — stu-dents can wear to only those that are academically based and come directly from the University, as op-posed to ones from campus organi-zations or colleges.
The Senate decided to include only honors from the African American Cultural Center, Latin Honors — summa cum laude , mag-na cum laude and cum laude — and items from national honor societ-ies Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Beta
The University currently has fi ve interim deans and one vice chancellor and is looking for new deans during its time of budget uncertainty.
The current interim deans are Gaines Foster (College of Hu-manities and Social Sciences) , Ralph Izard (Manship School of Mass Communication) , Laura Lindsay (College of Education) , Ken Carpenter (College of Art and Design) and James Stoner (Honors College while Nancy Clark is on sabbatical). Doris Carver is serving as interim vice chancellor for research and eco-nomic development .
While there are several inter-ims, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Jane Cassidy said only the Manship School is currently undergoing a search for a new dean.
The 13-member Manship search committee is chaired by Foster and Paul M. Hebert Law Center Chancellor Jack Weiss.
Weiss said the search is still in the early stages, and the com-mittee will accept applications until Nov. 1, but it will not rule out applications received after
The Jindal administration told state agencies Tuesday to prepare for a possible $200 million mid-year cut .
The cut might materialize if the state loses a current lawsuit chal-lenging the use of “rainy day” funds to balance the budget.
University administrators had not been given any instructions Tuesday concerning the cut, said Er-nie Ballard , director of public affairs .
The lawsuit, fi led Monday by Baton Rouge native Bob Reid and Ron Gomez, a former state repre-sentative from Lafayette, argues the Legislature violated the state consti-tution by not refi lling the fund imme-diately after using it to fi ll this year’s budget defi cit.
The issue of whether the state was required to refi ll the fund imme-diately was hotly debated between the House and the Senate during the last legislative session. The Senate’s interpretation — that the state could wait to repay the fund — eventually prevailed.
If the suit is successful, the state would be forced to refi ll the fund im-mediately, forcing a mid-year cut to the state’s operating budget.
That cut would come before the state deals with an estimated $1.6 billion shortfall for the next fi scal year.

LONDON (AP) — A security cam-era captured a Saudi prince savagely beating his servant in a hotel elevator only weeks before the aide was slain, a British prosecutor said Tuesday.
Prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud is accused of mur-dering Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz in a frenzied sex attack at London’s Landmark Hotel on Feb. 15. Abdu-laziz was found beaten and strangled to death in the room the two shared at London’s Landmark Hotel.
Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw told London’s Central Criminal Court there was evidence of a sexual assault, including bite marks on the victim’s cheeks.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 64-year-old man who was stranded for six days in the Southern California des-ert said Tuesday he survived by stay-ing still in a small canyon and mov-ing only to follow the shade.
Edward Rosenthal said he be-came so weak that he couldn’t sit up when a helicopter rescue crew fi nally found him last Thursday.
He was unsteady Tuesday at his fi rst news conference and said he lost 20 pounds in the desert.
He recounted days without food or water apart from rain drops he caught in his mouth during a drizzle the day before he was rescued.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Friends and family knew Clifford Miller Jr. had a history of mental illness, yet they never imagined the 24-year-old would kill his father,
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — BP’s $20 billion fund to compensate victims of the Gulf oil spill has been inundated with infl ated or unsupport-ed claims and fraud — slowing the process of getting money to people who need and deserve it.
Kenneth Feinberg, program ad-ministrator, said more than a third of the 104,000 applicants need to back up their claims. He added that the amount sought in some cases bears no resemblance to actual losses, such as a fi sherman’s claim for $10 million “on what was obviously a legitimate claim of a few thousand dollars.”

Miller killed his 52-year-old father, Clifford Miller Sr., before he went on a rampage Monday and wounded fi ve men.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A father and son who fought for control of a family business that has been build-ing Mardi Gras fl oats in New Orleans for more than 50 years announced Tuesday they have resolved their feud.
The agreement calls for Barry Kern to be reinstated as president of Blaine Kern Artists Inc., the compa-ny that bears his father’s name. The younger Kern agreed to withdraw a lawsuit seeking to oust his father, Blaine Kern Sr., from the company.
“Mardi Gras is more important than our spat,” Barry Kern said.
“Mardi Gras is defi nitely go-ing to go on, bigger and better than ever,” his father said.
The captains of the Bacchus and Endymion carnival krewes helped broker the agreement, arranging a meeting Tuesday between the Kerns.
Barry Kern said he resigned last month after his father tried to fi re him without authority.
Police have yet to establish the cause of the blast, which took place around 6 p.m. Explosives experts speculate the blast was caused by TNT or C4 explosive, perhaps used in a bomb as big as 50 kilograms (110 pounds).
Dozens of bombings have plagued Bangkok this year, but none of such magnitude. Small blasts since July have killed one person and wounded a dozen.
There have been no claims of responsibility for any of the attacks.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Do-nors have pledged $11.7 billion to fi ght three pandemics over the next three years.
Contributions were 20 percent higher than 2008-2010 donations, but The Global Fund’s executive di-rector told a news conference that it is not enough to meet expected de-mand and could slow expansion of existing program efforts.
University student Jennie Armstrong will compete in the Dr Pepper Million Dollar Tuition Giveaway at the Southeastern Conference championship game for a chance to win $123,000 in tuition money.
Armstrong entered the con-test by submitting a short video explaining why she deserves the money.
The mass communication senior said she was early for a meeting, saw the Dr Pepper truck and spontaneously decided to make a video.
“I want to dedicate my life to helping people, and this would
mean so much,” Armstrong said in her 34-second video.
Armstrong received a call Thursday informing her she was one of the fi ve Southeastern Con-ference fi nalists in the contest. All SEC fi nalists receive a trip for two to Atlanta for the game as well as a guaranteed $5,000 in tuition money.
“I never thought I’d hear from them again,” Armstrong said.
Five fi nalists per conference are selected from the SEC, Atlan-tic Coast Conference and Big 12 Conference .
The trip includes two tick-ets to the game, airfare, lodging, gifts and admission to the pre-game sponsor party, according to the contest rules. Armstrong is taking her mother as her guest, and the rest of her family will be in Atlanta for the contest.
The Friday before the game,
Armstrong will compete against the other four SEC fi nalists at the Georgia Dome to see who can successfully throw the most foot-balls into a 2-foot diameter target hole from 5 yards back. The con-testants will have one warm-up throw and 10 offi cial throws . The two contestants that make the most balls in the target will com-pete at halftime at the game the following day.
During halftime, the two fi -nalists will have 30 seconds to throw 10 balls at the target.
The runner-up from the half-time competition will receive $23,000 in tuition money, and the winner will receive $123,000 .
Armstrong said she plans to practice with friends and hopes to contact LSU football coach Les Miles to possibly get some prac-tice time with the team.
“I should be nervous, but I feel so blessed,” Armstrong said.
“Five thousand dollars and a free trip mean the world to me.”
Armstrong said winning the $123,000 grand prize would be icing on the cake.
If she wins, Armstrong said she will use the tuition money for
a one-year master’s program and three years of law school.

Jennie Armstrong, mass communication senior, practices throwing a football Tuesday on the Parade Ground for the Dr Pepper Million Dollar Tuition Giveaway.
University Recreation fees will decrease by $12 when July hits, UREC Director Laurie Braden said at Tuesday’s Student Required Fee Advisory Committee meeting.
The SRFAC reviewed and dis-cussed a proposal from UREC on Tuesday at its first meeting of the semester.
Braden said UREC is not re-questing any increase in student
fees for the next five-year cycle. The SRFAC assesses each depart-ment separately on a prescribed five-year cycle.
UREC was responsible for pro-viding a seven-year budget analysis to the committee Tuesday. The bud-get included the two previous fis-cal years, the current year and the projections for the next four fiscal years.
UREC presented a budget defi-cit to the SRFAC in 2008 because of increased operational costs, Braden
said. The SRFAC implemented an increase in 2009, raising the student fee from $45 to the current $77.
But as of July 1, the student fee will decrease to $65 for the fall and spring semesters.
The fee decrease will place the University in the middle range among Southeastern Conference peers in terms of cost but will not change the status of facility space.
“LSU will soon be in last po-sition [in terms of facility space],” Braden said.
The UREC supports 4 square feet per student. After Auburn Uni-versity completes its new complex, LSU will have the smallest recre-ation space in the SEC.
Aaron Caffarel, Student Gov-ernment Senate speaker pro tempo-re and international studies junior, asked whether UREC had plans for expansion.
Braden said the issue has been discussed, but with “tight and dif-ficult times” the UREC is unsure “when the best time will be to go
forward.”Robert Kuhn, associate vice
chancellor for finance and adminis-trative services in the Office of Bud-get and Planning, also questioned eventual “overcrowding” as a result of increased enrollment and usage.
Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi.Cope said the academic hon-
ors selected to be recognized in the memorandum are all long-standing, national organizations undisputedly based on merit and accomplishment.
Cope said the memorandum was designed to determine what achievements should be publicly ac-knowledged at the large commence-ment ceremonies and not individual college ceremonies.
“[Decorations] through affili-ation with clubs and organizations are admirable, but we don’t want [graduation] turning into a circus,” Cope said.
Student Government will dis-cuss the issue today.
SG President J Hudson and Vice President Dani Borel said they have differing opinions on the issue.
“Graduation should be a cele-bration of the entire collegiate expe-rience,” Hudson said. “Students are getting involved in organizations all over campus, and they deserve to be recognized.”
Hudson said he spoke with sev-eral students from the SG President’s Cabinet about their opinions.
“The consensus was that students should be able to wear what they’ve earned,” he said.
Borel said it’s important for students to understand the memoran-dum only applies to the main com-mencement ceremony.
“Students can still show their involvement at their individual col-lege ceremonies,” she said.
Borel said students can voice their opinions at the beginning of today’s SG Senate meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Capital Chambers of the Student Union, where she said she hopes everyone can find a middle ground.
Cope said the memorandum was sent to the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of the Univer-sity Registrar and will likely go into effect for the May 2011 commence-ment ceremony.
“We will hear from Student Government within a week, and after that it’s likely to be confirmed within a few weeks,” he said. “We are open to suggestions [SG] might make.”
Kelli Webber, assistant direc-tor of the Office of Orientation and adviser to LSU Ambassadors, said Ambassadors deserve recognition for their dedication to the University.
“The LSU Ambassadors work their entire careers as Ambassadors to represent LSU in the best capacity possible,” she said. “It’s an honor to be recognized at graduation because it’s something they should be very proud of.”
Webber said allowing that rec-ognition at the main ceremony would be appreciated, but she also accepts the compromise.
“I’m thankful I’ll still be able to reward them at their individual cer-emonies,” she said. “That’s what’s important to me.”
Communication across the Cur-riculum has been awarding qualified students with the LSU Distinguished Communicator medal since 2007, but the medal is not included among the allowed achievements in the new memo.
Kimberly Bourque, CxC admin-istrative coordinator, said the medal recognizes students who are highly motivated in working toward im-proving their communication skills.
Bourque said she could see both sides to the issue.
“Anyone who works hard at LSU to get an award deserves to be able to show it off at gradua-tion,” she said. “But I’m sure they
probably have very good reasoning behind their decision.”
Cope said too many decorations create clutter and confusion during the commencement ceremony.
Cope said it’s important to re-member that honorary ornaments are designed to reflect the student’s achievements, but if students wear too many decorations, people won’t be able to interpret what they are,
and the bachelor’s degree itself becomes obscured.
“The black gown is something in its own right to be treasured,” he said. “With all these other ornamen-tations, the bachelor’s degree be-comes secondary.”

Everyone from LSU football coach Les Miles to Mike the Tiger has a social networking account these days.
Having a social media account has become more the norm than the exception, and LSU’s Sports Infor-mation Department has been getting into the action.
A new social media campaign has been launched during the last six months to keep up with the changing times.
Every varsity sport at LSU now has some sort of social networking account, and pictures, schedules, in-game updates and anything else of note gets posted.
Jesse Delerno , a student assis-tant sports information director, said the social media push has allowed the teams to connect informally with fans.
The sports information directors have Flip cameras they use for every sport to fi lm interviews, workouts and any fun events the teams have.
The response from the athletes and coaches has been mostly posi-tive.
“Most of the athletes are excited about it. You do have some that are more camera shy than others,” Del-erno said. “They like that it’s very interactive.”
The swimming and diving teams, for example, plan to eventu-

Lutcher High School wide receiver Jarvis Landry runs down the fi eld after catching a pass at practice. Landry says he is 85 percent committed to LSU.

Former LSU commitment and current Tennessee sophomore safety Janzen Jackson made his much-anticipated debut in Tiger Stadium last weekend, almost two years removed from his original pledge to the Tigers in February 2008.
Tiger fans were reminded how electric Jackson could have been in purple and gold as he notched seven tackles and an in-terception.
Flip the calendar to the 2011 recruiting class, and the LSU coaching staff cannot afford to lose any of its fertile in-state crops.
Lutcher High School standout Jarvis Landry, a four-star wide re-ceiver, committed to LSU on Jan. 9 as one of the most prized offensive recruits in not only Louisiana but in the country.
Landry said Monday night he is still “85 per-cent” committed to LSU, but with a sporadic offense and huge ques-tion marks with the Tigers’ quar-terbacks, nothing is set in stone.
“I’m still committed LSU, and that’s where I want to be right now,” said Landry, who hauled in 62 catches for 1,158 yards and 13
touchdowns as a junior. “But if the offense [is] right somewhere else, I got to do what’s best for me at the end of the day.”
Landry has yet to schedule an offi cial visit to LSU and said he hopes to visit
soon “to make sure” of his com-mitment.

Breaking the MoldLinebacker Ryan Baker seeks to make
statement Saturday against his mother’s alma mater
Michael LambertSports Contributor
Ryan Baker has a soft spot.LSU’s aggressive junior linebacker may be a beast
on the fi eld, rattling opposing offenses and wrapping up intruding running backs and wide receivers, but he has been tamed by his mom, Lynn Baker , a Florida gradu-ate and diehard Gator fan.
Lynn earned bragging rights in the family’s Grand Ridge, Fla., house after Florida beat LSU the past two seasons .
Her team has also Gator-chomped her hus-band Terry Baker’s alma mater, Florida State, for the last fi ve years .
“It’s a house divided,” Lynn said. “I’m a Florida Gator. Anytime there’s a game with Florida, I get ragged on.”
Ryan’s family and friends will eagerly watch their hometown hero Saturday night when he tries to avenge the past two years and prove a point to his mother.
“I’ve been waiting for this game since I stepped onto this campus three years ago,” Ryan
said. “It’s my fi rst year actually playing. It’s time for us to get some payback.”
Ryan sided with his father during his childhood and cheered for the Seminoles , who dominated the
college football landscape during the 1990s.“I was a Florida State fan growing up,” Ryan said. “It
was a crime in my family to include yourself with Florida.”The 6-foot, 227-pound linebacker made it clear — there’s
no love lost for his mother’s alma mater.“It’s just Florida,” Ryan said on why he doesn’t like the Gators.
“It’s just Florida being Florida.”Still, Lynn made attempts to convert her son to the Gator Nation.
“I went to one [Florida game] by accident,” Ryan said, laughing. “We were going to Santa Fe to visit a friend, and we ended up at the
game.”The Blountstown High School alumnus knew he wanted to play in
Baton Rouge after visiting Tiger Stadium. His parents jumped on board.“We wanted the best for him,” Terry Baker said. “He fell in love with
the program, and the rest is history.”Ryan, named a Scout.com four-star linebacker out of high school, has
helped anchor the LSU linebacking corps in the four games since the season opener against North Carolina , which he missed with a broken jaw.
“He didn’t travel for the fi rst game, and all during the traveling he was sending people text messages saying how he wishes he could be out

there with us,” said LSU junior cornerback Ron Brooks . “He saw how much not having football af-fected him.”
The typical big eater was reduced to liquefi ed food during the three-week recovery period.
“I had to eat through a sy-ringe,” Ryan Baker said. “Every-thing I ate was pureed. I could talk, but I was kind of limited.”
Baker has returned in a big way, recording 27 total tackles, tied for second best on the team after only fi ve games.
“He loves competition,” Terry said. “We went to a practice a week before the season started, and the other guys were prac-ticing. You could see in his face he wanted to be out there really bad.”
Baker, who resembles for-mer NFL run-ning back Mar-shall Faulk in both looks and quickness, has wreaked havoc in
opposing backfi elds, notching fi ve and a half tackles for loss and two sacks this season.
“He brings a lot of speed to the linebacker corps,” said LSU junior safety Brandon Taylor . “He’s big on Florida speed. He says that since he’s from Florida, he’s fast.”
Brooks said Baker often boasts about his speed to the
other players.“Baker’s always challeng-
ing somebody,” Brooks said. “In the summer, he was challenging the running backs, thinking he’s faster than everybody. He’s not a trailblazer or anything, but he can move for his size.”
The emerging linebacker will return to the Sunshine State to put his speed to the test Satur-day night.
Lynn Baker said her loyalties lie with her son even though she usually pulls for his Southeastern Conference rival.
“I’ll be cheering for my son,
but on the other hand, the Flori-da Gators — that’s my school,” Lynn said. “If both teams could win, that would be good.”
She said most importantly she wants her son to have a good game, but her Florida fandom can’t be completely erased.
“I’m going to wear my LSU jersey with Baker on the back,” Lynn said. “But I may put on my Gator shoes.”

would decommit, but he is still garnering a lot of interest from Tennessee, Florida State, Auburn and Oklahoma, in no particular order.
“I wouldn’t be worried,” said Shea Dixon, managing editor of TigerSportsDigest.com. “I think Jarvis is one to stick with LSU.”
Landry isn’t exactly a proto-typical LSU receiver with a tall frame and strong build, a la Ter-rence Toliver, Rueben Randle, Dwayne Bowe, Michael Clayton or Brandon LaFell. He stands at 5 feet 11 inches and 178 pounds
but wowed recruiting experts enough to be tabbed as the third-best receiver and 27th best player in the country.
Dixon speculates Landry could enroll early for the spring semester, but the two biggest question marks lingering for Landry, like most offensive re-cruits, are the current disarray of the LSU offense and the quar-terback situation in the next few years.
“It’s kind of frustrating when you see guys like [sophomore wide receivers] Rueben Randle and Russell Shepard not getting their touches like they should
be,” Landry said.After junior quarterbacks
Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee use up their eligibility next sea-son, the only expected quarter-back on scholarship will be Ste-phen Rivers, a three-star recruit for the 2011 class.
That leaves Landry and other potential wide receivers uncer-tain as to who will throw to them two or three years down the road.
“That’s the thing that has been kind of weighing on me a little bit, but once again ... you
have to control what you can con-trol,” he said.
LSU offered former trou-bled Georgia quarterback Zach Mettenberger a scholarship in the beginning of September. Metten-berger, who was kicked off Geor-gia’s team following an arrest during the offseason, will be in town Nov. 20 for LSU’s matchup against Ole Miss.
If LSU were to grab Metten-berger, it could solidify a quar-terback for the distant future and entice future recruits.
“That’s a very big point. ... There’s a good chance that a guy like Mettenberger would be in the same class as you,” Dixon said. “From the little conversation I’ve had, [the in-state commitments are] hoping they fi nish the class out with some big-name quarter-back.”

Social media also allows par-ents of international athletes to see what their student-athletes have been doing.
“It’s great for the parents who aren’t able to come and see their kids perform on a regular basis,” Delerno said. “They get to watch these videos and keep up with what’s going on with the team. … We get a lot of nice feedback from them.”
The coaches have gotten in-volved as well. Miles, men’s
basketball coach Trent Johnson and assistant women’s basketball coach Bob Starkey post frequently to Twit-ter.
Associate Sports Information Director Jake Terry said each coach is different in social media use. Some coaches hardly post, and others use it all the time.
Coaches with teams in the off-season tend to use the accounts more.
“Coach Johnson uses his almost every day,” Terry said. “Coach Star-key ... he’s a tweeting machine.”
Terry said having the coaches interact one-on-one with fans with something like Twitter makes them seem more approachable.
It’s hard to get an accurate ac-count of how effective social media has been so far, Terry said. But he thinks the Athletic Department could see results in the future.
“I think it’s definitely possible that you could see people, whether it’s students or whoever, could come out to the events due to awareness from social media,” Terry said.

In soccer, the numbers don’t lie. The problem is, they’re hardly there at all.
While baseball has developed increasingly complex statistical measures to evaluate player perfor-mance, the world’s most popular game largely remains in the infor-mation wilderness, relying primar-ily on goals and assists for strikers and goals allowed for defenders.
The absence of advanced mea-surements hides the true value of players like sophomore midfielder Natalie Ieyoub.
Ieyoub, who plays out wide when the team uses four midfield-ers, has registered just two shots
on goal all season, but LSU coach Brian Lee said her impact can’t be quantified by traditional standards of achievement.
“If you look at our positive at-tacking plays, she’s not always on the last pass or scoring the goal,” Lee said. “But she’s often winning the possession for us and then keep-ing it on the first pass.”
Perhaps the biggest compli-ment to Ieyoub is the consistent suc-cess of teams on which she plays.
Ieyoub was a state champion in three different sports — soccer, cross country and track and field — and also won a state champion-ship on her club soccer team at St. Louis Catholic High School in Lake Charles.
As a freshman at LSU, Ieyoub
played in 14 matches before sus-taining a season-ending ACL injury. The Tigers put together the most successful season in school history, narrowly missing out on the South-eastern Conference championship.
However, she wasn’t able to enjoy LSU’s postseason run from the field, instead watching from the sideline after having surgery in No-vember to repair her knee.
“That was the first time I’ve ever had an injury that sidelined me, so it was pretty tough mentally to overcome,” Ieyoub said. “I learned a lot of things having to watch from the sideline.”
When asked about her contri-bution to the team, Ieyoub shifts into modesty mode, offering a quick response.
“My teammates tell me I’m composed, so I guess I bring that,” she said.
Lee is more effusive when talking about how Ieyoub impacts the game both on and off the field. He singled her out for the poise she shows in starting LSU attacks and stopping those of the opposing team.
“Natalie’s got a very calm-ing influence on the field,” he said. “From a pure soccer standpoint, she’s nice and calm on the ball. She brings all the intangibles, and her
work rate is great.”However, Lee said the mid-
fielder’s best work will come when she has a healthy offseason to fur-ther develop.
“We’re really excited for her to have nine months to get after it once this season ends,” Lee said. “I think she’ll make monumental gains given her work ethic.”

Sophomore Ieyoub has impact that goes beyond stats
The bureaucracy that is LSU has proven itself time and again to be a veritable foe for a foreign language-loving journalist.
In the words of Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor John Hamilton at Monday’s Faculty Senate meeting, “I was appalled at the amount of bureaucracy we have at LSU.” Or, perhaps better said by Chancellor Michael Martin in a recent interview, “We’ve got protocols all over the place.”
I’ve recently learned that pro-tocols dictating University policy are subject to interpretation, much like the U.S. Constitution. Whereas one group (faculty) will say curri-cula have been illegally altered, an-other (administration) will say pro-grams have merely been defunded while a third (state government) will trump both as it so chooses.
And as the three great proto-cols are set against one another, one wonders which will win in the end. It won’t be students — we can be sure of this much.
I recently came across the pro-posed Faculty Senate resolution, endorsed by the University’s chap-ter of the American Association of University Professors. This resolu-tion states, among other things, that the University administration’s re-cent actions may not be in line with the regulations of the LSU Board of Supervisors. This group grants power to University faculty to es-tablish curricula, a power mani-fested in the Faculty Senate. Ac-cording to Resolution 10-14, the Faculty Senate “has no confidence in the current budget-cutting pro-cess” — and I don’t blame them.
University administration has not been granted the power to alter curricula, according to guidelines set by the Board of Regents and Policy Statement 45 of the Office of Academic Affairs.
But who then made the call to bring down the axe on the four for-eign languages currently sitting on death row, due for execution at the culmination of this semester?
It wasn’t the Board of Regents — they didn’t approve this, ac-cording to Regents spokeswoman Meg Casper.
It wasn’t the faculty — Martin stated at both the Forum last Tues-day, as well as in the meeting with the “foreign language 14,” it was his call, and he’ll bear the cross for it.
The closest thing to faculty involvement, as has been indicat-ed by Martin, was the “group” he conferred with, meaning the Right Sizing Committee.
At this point, you may be
asking, “Why have I not heard of this committee yet?” — and you’d be justified in your ignorance. Even I was unaware of the group, until discussing the matter with Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope.
According to Cope, who is on the committee, all members — aside from Student Government President J Hudson and Vice Presi-dent Dani Borel — signed con-
fidentiality agreements. In addition to this, they have met a grand total of two times: once to re-ceive their charge and the second
to hear about progress on budget matters.
While this doesn’t really an-swer much about the Right Sizing Committee’s involvement in the re-cent language cuts, it does explain its ambiguity when referenced by Martin at last week’s Forum as “the group.”
This “group” also happens to be one of three that have been formed to address the budget cri-sis. The first was the Realignment Taskforce, whose significance is shrouded in ambiguity. The sec-ond, as mentioned above, was the Right Sizing Committee — which still exists. Last is the FY12 Bud-get Crisis Committee, responsible for framing budget cut projections that will undoubtedly haunt our University for coming years.
Fun fact: The Right Sizing Committee contains a total of 16 members, of which 11 are faculty. The FY12 Budget Crisis Commit-tee has a total of 10 members, of which only four are faculty — a 29-percent difference in faculty presence.
No big deal — until one con-siders the legal necessity of faculty involvement when curricula are at stake.
I realize the University has a set of protocols for just about ev-erything. Trying to find out how al-tering curricula should legally go, I sat down with Emily Batinski, chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature.
She informed me that, accord-ing to protocol, changes to cur-ricula should go something like this: University faculty approach a curriculum committee, which then consults with the Faculty Senate, who then bring the matter to Aca-demic Affairs to make the decision.
This amounts to the exact
opposite of what happened with the four foreign language programs, with the impetus beginning at the administrative level and culminat-ing on the faculty level.
I’ll admit, deciphering proto-col seems impossible in determin-ing who acted wrongly or rightly in this situation. Nonetheless, Batin-ski and I couldn’t help but wonder why even she wasn’t consulted be-fore the proverbial axe fell on four of her programs.
It was her opinion that “the chancellor did not effectively con-sult with faculty before making the call.”
And it is here the matter be-comes more complicated, with the question “was the curriculum altered?” hovering over the entire debacle.
While none of the four axed languages offered majors in their respective fields, international studies seems to be the front run-ner for affected programs.
Seeking further clarification, I talked to Professor Leonard Ray, director of international studies. He, like Batinksi, was not con-sulted before the cut fell, but rather was informed after the fact that these languages had been deemed unworthy.
According to Ray, these lan-guages were essential to many stu-dents in the International Studies program, and he felt axing these
programs “could inadvertently dis-mantle International Studies.”
For instance, International Studies students with a concentra-tion in Russian require five semes-ters of the language.
But now that these cuts have fallen, the curriculum has been al-tered de facto — at least for these students and Ray’s program.
What was once available as a field of study no longer exists, but this change did not come from the faculty — the only place it can rightly come from. It came, rather, from University administration — which is not endowed with the power to make these decisions.
In this particular instance, administration exploited what ap-pears to be a loophole. It did not technically alter curricula by can-celing programs. It rather defunded them — the same difference.
So while there apparently are two sets of protocol both for fac-ulty and administration for altering curricula, it seems the two have clashed in this instance. Combine these with the orders coming down from the governor’s office, and we’ve got an unholy trinity of bud-get cut madness competing to be the definitive “protocol” — though there can be only one.
Administration can’t alter curricula, but they can remove instructors. The question now is, “If programs are canceled because
of instructor removals and defund-ing, does that constitute altered curricula?”
I’m not in a position to answer this dilemma, but the AAUP (the academic equivalent of the ACLU) has thankfully stepped up to the challenge, and the Faculty Senate is giving them notice.
On a final note, the depart-ment of foreign languages still has pamphlets in its lobby for the four foreign languages that have, for the time being, been axed.
I wouldn’t throw them away just yet — they may come in handy when it is realized that the recent actions brought against foreign languages need to be brought un-der further review.
Can I get an “amen” — and some clarification — on who, in reality, has the power to change curricula?
I have a sneaking suspicion we’ll need this information in the very near future.

Every advertiser’s dream — to place ads directly into relevant conversations and meetings be-tween people who will buy their products — may soon be here, and it’s all because of our little friend called the Internet.
A little background is needed to understand why this is such a big deal. Since advertising’s earliest begin-nings, putting ads for name-brand spears in the hands of mighty warriors and strategical-ly woven into buffalo paint-ings on cave walls, advertis-ers have sought two simple things — get the most money and do it as cheap as possible.
Print ads have made up the majority of what we know from advertising history — in the backs of newspapers, yearbooks and event fliers. Later on, say around the ’70s, we started to see a boom in TV ads. They moved from much of an afterthought in marketing budgets to being a main source of spending.
Not much changed for sev-eral decades after that. Plenty of research was done on the most ef-fective colors in ads, placement in newspapers and magazines, the use of certain words and phrases on a subconscious level — anything that would improve the number of people moving from not knowing who a company is or what they do, all the way to a dedicated and sat-isfied customer.
The overarching problem with this kind of advertising is there’s little in the way of hard numbers to tell how effective ads in those
mediums are.Take a newspaper ad, for ex-
ample. How can you, as a business owner, know how many people have read the ad you ran yester-day? Well, we could take a small sample of people and, after having them look through a copy of that day’s newspaper, see how many of them noticed the ad. Take that number, then multiply it by the rough number of papers picked up that day, and you can get an idea of how many people noticed the ad.
The problem: There’s no way to tell how many people who no-ticed the ad will actually move to a purchase. If they don’t buy anything, it’s essentially wasted money.
Then came the Internet. It was a little troublesome in its early days and not terribly useful or or-ganized for advertising, unless you count spam.
By the way, companies sent so much spam in the ’90s because it worked. It is amazingly cheap because you don’t actually have to pay for postage and envelopes, not to mention all the hours of wages for people to go through lists of people likely to buy, make the package and then send it out.
Then Google came. Google has masterfully taken a previously untapped market and made billions from it. Google catches you when you least expect it — searching.
When you’re browsing a web-site and see the little white box with blue text in it, that’s probably a Google ad. Despite being ignored, on the whole, their redeeming quality is they are targeted. You can compete for ad space on searches like “athletic” or “romance” so that when people search for some-thing related to your product, they see your business.
It’s a wonderful business model, and it has served us well, but Facebook thinks it can do bet-ter.
Facebook is a neat idea — connecting friends and family, or just drunken acquaintances, and letting them see every detail of our lives. It’s a ton of fun.
But no one at Facebook is go-ing to pay for you to do that. There has to be some green coming in somehow, or Facebook wouldn’t exist, plain and simple.
So, here’s the Facebook revo-lutionary idea: Ads can be “liked,” commented on, etc., and pulled off the sidebar into our feeds and
profiles. That’s it.So what’s the big deal? Well,
Coca-Cola would rather use you to do its advertising because they know that if friends see you buy-ing a Coke, they’re much more likely to buy than if some non-sensical polar bear or Santa Claus tells you to.
Imagine it. Soon, we’ll look at a friend’s profile and see a drink ad with, “John, Jane and seven other friends like this,” then their comments below on how tight that stupid polar bear looks in his Hal-loween costume or whatever they decide on.
Surprised? Offended that
Facebook is so commercialized?Maybe you think they’re
“selling out.”Don’t. Everyone is out there to make
money, because we all have bills to pay — including your 1,200 closest “friends.”

BURNS AFTER READING
THE BOTTOM LINE
BEST AND WITTIEST
cartoon courtesy of KING FEATURES SYNDICATE
Joe Alleva shouldn’t expect too much from certain fans
Facebook on the forefront of strategic Internet advertising
Tiger fans have always been notorious for a number of rea-sons.
But in the past few weeks, LSU fans have elicited a substan-tial amount of negative attention from sports pundits and college football analysts for a brand new reason — booing.
The issue has become such a major ordeal, in fact, that Athletic Director and Vice Chancellor Joe Alleva sent out an e-mail last week urging season ticket hold-ers and other fans to show their support of the program by not booing the team.
In the e-mail, Alleva said Ti-ger Stadium is “at its best when it roars as one voice in support of the Tigers.”
“But when some among the crowd are vocally disapproving of our own players or coaches, it is detrimental on many levels,” Alleva went on to say. “It im-pacts the morale of the players, it
reflects poorly on our reputation, it sends a poor message of sports-manship to the young people in the crowd and it delivers a nega-tive message to recruits in atten-dance.”
Alleva’s concern might be warranted. But considering the hefty price they pay each year, it’s hard to argue that disgruntled season ticket holders don’t have a right to voice their dissatisfac-tion.
While neither side may be completely right or wrong, there is an important element of this debate that Alleva and other high-ranking administrators fail to realize.
The fan base — much like the head football coach — isn’t always rational. No matter how hard administrators try to urge fans to be patient and supportive, there will always be a portion of the fan base that is simply too stubborn and inept to reach.
This season, I’ve already heard enough brain-stultifying amateur observations from my fellow fans to make me ques-tion whether a football IQ test should be re-quired to enter Tiger Stadium.
The first came during the home opener against Missis-sippi State when a purple-and-gold-adorned heckler in front of me defiantly stood up and yelled, “Why the hell can’t we move the ball against a Division III school?”
Even after his friends cor-rected him and told him Missis-sippi State was, in fact, a member of the Southeastern Conference, the fan refused to surrender. “No! Mississippi State is in the same league as Appalachian State and
Boise State. Trust me, that’s a fact!”
Another brilliant fan made a similar mistake the next week against West Virginia, noting, “This is a conference game. We can’t afford to lose” halfway through the fourth quarter.
And then there are the racist remarks that sprinkle down from the more ignorant fans who are evidently stuck in the 19th cen-tury.
Based on their “expert analy-sis,” the only contributing factor to a player’s confidence is his skin color. So whenever Jordan Jefferson makes a mistake, it can be attributed to his skin color. But whenever Kelvin Sheppard or Patrick Peterson makes an incredible play, it can just be at-tributed to “pure luck and athletic ability.”
The double standard here is beyond obvious.
In the end, Alleva can try all
he wants to placate the fan base. But there’s nothing he can do to prevent certain fans from vocal-izing their discontent — no mat-ter how irrational they might be.
That said, the majority of the fans deserve credit. Given the heartbreaking debaucheries the fan base has been put through the past few seasons, most fans have responded reasonably well.
Unfortunately for Les Miles, even the most loyal of fans are growing weary.
The grace period is over. His time is quickly running out.
And we all know how well he handles that situation.

Foster said the Manship search committee has only spent money to place job ads in nation-al publications. There were about six or seven ads placed that cost around $4,000, Foster said.
The search committee ex-penses came out of Manship School funds, Foster said.
He said the committee has not decided how many candi-dates to bring to Baton Rouge, but it probably won’t be more than three applicants.
Cassidy said the search for a new College of Humanities and Social Sciences dean will begin soon, and searches for College of Education and College of Art and Design deans will hopefully begin next year, “but it depends a little on the budget cut situation.”
Cassidy said search com-mittees can often be expensive to maintain. If a college chooses to hire a search firm, Cassidy
said it can cost from $50,000 to $100,000.
Even if a college doesn’t hire a search firm, searches are still expensive. The college has to pay airfare, hotel and meal expenses for each candidate brought to the campus, and candidates often visit several times, Cassidy said.
After making an offer to a candidate, the college has to pay moving expenses. Deans are highly paid, but some also require a start-up cost, Cassidy said.
Cassidy stressed the impor-tance of looking outside the Uni-versity for new administration.
“It’s a fresh look at what you do,” Cassidy said. “You al-most always take a step forward when you bring in someone with a fresh set of eyes.”
While it will be hard to re-cruit outsiders to a struggling budget situation, Cassidy said the University is lucky to have the in-terims it has.
“We feel really fortunate we have people really qualified who are internal to the University until we have enough money to recruit top-notch people,” Cassidy said.
