Many Louie’s Cafe patrons have nev-er seen the old-school diner in
daylight, but that doesn’t make it any less memorable. After all, it would be diffi cult to for-get a place where the smell — grease and more grease — follows visitors long after leav-ing.
“You’ll remember it even if you’re drunk,” said Louie’s fry cook Jeremy Lewis .
Everything about the 24-hour cafe seems to be outdated and
covered in grease spots , Lewis said, which takes gumption in today’s day and age. It is perhaps that rusticity and the guarantee of an old-fashioned diner meal that draws University students there in the middle of the night. Countless hangovers and other college-induced maladies have been soothed atop a red stool at the counter of Louie’s, all while making small talk with a cook who is frying up an oversized omelet or a stack of chocolate

Legislative roundup: TOPS reforms failQuint ForgeyStaff Writer
TOPS reforms fail, are deferred Efforts to amend the state’s
TOPS program remain on the bottom of the Louisiana legis-lature’s to-do list, as HB 385 by Rep. Joe Harrison was killed in the House Education Committee on Wednesday .
Harrison’s legislation would have increased the ACT score re-quired to obtain a TOPS scholar-ship and put a cap on the maxi-mum amount that students could be awarded. Harrison’s bill also mandated that students pay back the scholarship money if they did not meet certain academic re-quirements.
Following the failure of Har-rison’s proposal, several lawmak-ers with similar TOPS legislation voluntarily deferred their bills, according to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.
Domestic violence bills passThe House Criminal Justice
Committee unanimously passed three bills Wednesday aimed to protect domestic violence vic-tims in Louisiana.
Among the legislation passed, HB 753 by Rep. Helena Moreno would outlaw the pos-session of fi rearms by those con-victed of domestic abuse for 10 years after their conviction.
Surrogacy bill passes after revisions A bill regarding surro-
gacy births in the state passed the House Committee on Civil Law and Procedure on Tuesday morning, after being consider-ably amended to appease Chris-tian and family-values lobbying groups.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Joseph Lopinto, would al-low state-protected surrogacy contracts to be made exclu-sively by married couples of opposite sexes.

LA HABRA, Calif. (AP) — Ex-perts say a bigger earthquake along the lesser-known fault that gave Southern California a moder-ate shake could do more damage to the region than the long-dreaded “Big One” from the more famous San Andreas Fault.
The Puente Hills thrust fault, which brought Friday night’s mag-nitude-5.1 quake centered in La Habra and more than 100 after-shocks by Sunday, stretches from northern Orange County under downtown Los Angeles into Hol-lywood — a heavily populated swath of the Los Angeles area.
A magnitude-7.5 earthquake along that fault could prove more catastrophic than one along the San Andreas, which runs along the outskirts of metropolitan Southern California, seismologists said.
The U.S. Geological Sur-vey estimates that such a quake along the Puente Hills fault could kill 3,000 to 18,000 people and cause up to $250 billion in dam-age. In contrast, a larger magni-tude 8 quake along the San An-dreas would cause an estimated 1,800 deaths.
Part of the problem with the potential damage is that the fault runs near so many vulnerable older buildings, many made of concrete, in downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood. And because the fault, discovered in 1999, is horizontal, heavy reverberations are likely to be felt over a wide area.
About 150 aftershocks, includ-ing one of magnitude-4.1, were felt
after Friday night’s quake, which forced several dozen people in the Orange County city of Fullerton out of their homes after fi refi ghters discovered foundation problems that made the buildings unsafe to enter, authorities said.
Another 14 residential structures around the city suf-fered lesser damage, including collapsed fi replaces.

LAFAYETTE (AP) — To judge from a glance at the headlines, 2014 isn’t the best of times for the Coun-cil for the Development of French in Louisiana.
The state government’s CODOFIL budget has dwindled over the years, down to about a quarter-million dollars.
Louisiana, where public busi-ness was often conducted in French two generations ago, now has only about 150,000 French speakers. And a legislative attempt to let par-ents petition to create language im-mersion programs, long an impor-tant part of the CODOFIL agenda, got a push-back from school boards.
“We’re trying to articulate school to work and leverage the current attention to all things Louisiana. This is our time.”

INTERNATIONAL
Brazilian police push into Rio slumsRIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — More than 1,400 police offi cers and Bra-zilian Marines rolled into a mas-sive complex of slums near Rio de Janeiro’s international airport before dawn Sunday in the latest security push ahead of this year’s World Cup.
Not a shot was fi red as the Mare complex of 15 slums became the latest impoverished area to see security forces move in to take control and try to push out heavily armed drug gangs that have ruled Rio’s shantytowns for decades.
In the coming days, Army sol-diers will begin patrolling the vir-tually treeless, fl at area of about 2 square miles (5 square kilometers) in northern Rio that hugs the main road to the airport and is home to about 130,000 people.
Security forces will eventu-ally set up permanent posts in Mare as part of the “pacifi ca-tion” program that began in 2008 and is meant to secure Rio ahead of the World Cup and also the 2016 Summer Olympics. Police have installed 37 such posts in recent years in an area covering 1.5 million people.

The Asian American Cultural Heritage Showcase on Friday not only revealed contemporary arts within Asian culture, but it also helped represent a student popula-tion on campus that is passionate about being recognized.
Asian American Ambassa-dors at LSU (AAA), supported by the Office of Multicultural Af-fairs (OMA), attempted to repre-sent Asian-American students on campus by hosting their first-ever Asian-American heritage show-case in the Student Union Cotil-lion Room.
Krystie Nguyen, coordinator of Cross-Cultural Affairs in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said being an Asian-American person means sometimes hav-ing to adopt aspects of other cul-tures when celebrating. While the showcase tried to represent all Asian cultures, the event focused on specific countries, she said.
Some of the cultures exem-plified in the showcase included
Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Malaysian and Indonesian, Krystie Nguyen said. Though the entire event was planned and run by students, OMA tried to be a hub for student involvement, support and multi-cultural incorporation, she said.
“It is a cultural event, but the students are the ones putting on the event and trying to showcase their culture,” Krystie Nguyen said. “They are the face of the or-ganization and the face of OMA.”
Catherine Nguyen, mass com-munication sophomore and public relations advocate for AAA, was a performer and one of the mas-ters of ceremonies for the show-case. She said the small size and newborn nature of AAA will not stop the organization from grow-ing and expanding.
“Even though we are new, it doesn’t mean we can’t do big events,” Catherine Nguyen said. “It takes a team effort, and we al-ways work as a team.”
One of the performances involved an interpretive dance and modern hip-hop music from
Korea and Japan. The dance told a story that illustrated the ups and downs of a romantic relationship while incorporating contemporary Asian culture, Catherine Nguyen said.
Krystie Nguyen said the funding for AAA events comes from dues of each member of the organization as well as aid from Student Government, though most of the funds come from OMA.
AAA President Isabelle Vea said she was pleased with the almost 130-person turnout Fri-day, considering Groovin’ on the Grounds was held around the same time as the showcase, and the organization only had a month and a half to plan the event.
Vea said the audience was captivated by the final perfor-mance by a group from New Or-leans called Van Hanh that dressed up in elaborate lion costumes, making for an interactive show.

The University’s League of LSU, a student-run club for the com-puter game “League of Legends,” (LoL) hosted an online tournament March 28 and 30, following a recent breakthrough in the online gaming industry.
LoL is an online multiplayer video game that pits players against one another on a virtual battlefi eld, and it saw the gaming landscape change when the U.S. government recognized superior electronic sports players as athletes during the sum-mer of 2013.
Nathan Beard, business man-agement senior and founder and president of League of LSU, said his primary concerns are to help bring eSports to the University, to improve the University’s electronics and to help raise awareness of the game. The group’s chairmen also plan help to improve players’ skills and provide a place where students can relax, enjoy the game and bond with other students.
“It’s the most popular video game in the world, with more than 35 million gamers on it,” Beard said. “It’s carrying eSports and making it what it is today.”
Beard said there were no eS-ports student organizations at LSU when he arrived, and he knew the
potential support he could have for starting one. Beard founded the group in fall 2012, but it did not take off until spring 2013.
With more than 250 active members, League of LSU is now recognized by Riot Games, the cre-ators of LoL, as one of the many collegiate groups in the country that can compete in collegiate LoL tour-naments.
Last year, the third fl oor Capital Chamber Room in the Student Union only had Wi-Fi, a connection Beard said is not good enough for online video gameplay.
The University’s Information Technology Service department has installed one multi-access net-working port and donated two port switches that allow students in the room to play the game through a multi-access network. Beard said the League of LSU plans to have indi-vidual ports installed on every chair in the Capital Chamber room for the upcoming fall semester.
The group will also host a screening of the LoL world tourna-ment in the Student Union Ballroom this fall. Riot Games has recognized the ballroom as a national viewing spot to host the world tournament be-cause of the room’s capacity to hold more than 1,000 seats, Beard said.
“People from all over the globe will be allowed to view the tourna-ment in the Student Union,” he said.
The government’s recognition of eSports players as athletes means players from across the globe are now able to come to the U.S. to com-pete in online LoL games, much like how athletes from overseas obtain visas to compete here.
In an interview with Gamestop, Riot Games’ eSports manager Nick Allen said the government’s decision did not happen overnight.
“Eventually, it got to the point where they were like, ‘We have no reason to say no. … Okay, this is le-gitimate.’” Forbes said.
Riot Games awarded a total of $5 million to players in 105 LoL tournaments around the world last year. Riot also sponsored an online LoL tournament hosted by League of LSU last weekend.
Beard encourages students who do not know how to play LoL to try the game and to attend upcoming League of LSU events.
“When you fi rst jump into the game, take it slow. Don’t let it over-whelm you. Play Bot games [with computer controlled opponents] and bring friends to play with you. There will be toxic players at times, and you just have to ignore them and just have fun.”

It was over before it ever had a chance to get started.
LSU entered its Sweet 16 matchup against Louisville full of confi dence following its come-
back victory against West Virginia on Tuesday , but the Cardinals blew LSU off the court in a 73-47 win .
Prior to the contest, LSU al-ready had a monstrous mountain to climb. In its victory against the Mountaineers , senior guard Jeanne Kenney’s career ended with a
concussion — the third or fourth of her career. With freshman guard Raigyne Moncrief out with a knee injury, the loss of Kenney left the squad with two of its starters out for the next round of the NCAA Tournament .
That meant LSU sophomore guard Danielle Ballard needed to continue her dominating run in postseason play. The Memphis, Tenn., native scored a combined 46 points in the team’s fi rst two games of the tournament.
In the fi rst half, Ballard rose to the challenge.
She shot 7-of-12 from the fi eld, scoring 14 points. But she was the only Lady Tiger able to put dents in Louisville’s defensive armor.
“I think the one thing about Louisville’s defense is they do a nice job of changing up their
defense, and they do a nice job of picking and choosing who to trap, when to trap and things like that,” said LSU coach Nikki Caldwell . “So we wanted to take the guess-work out of it.”
With LSU leading 12-9 after seven minutes , Louisville turned on the jets, going on a 12-2 run that quickly ignited the hometown crowd.
Led by senior guard Shoni Schimmel , who had 14 points in the fi rst half, the Cardinals pulled away from the Lady Tigers head-ing into the locker room. Louisville led 41-23 at halftime.
Louisville never looked back.The combination of Schimmel
and senior guard Tia Gibbs proved to be too much for a depleted LSU lineup, scoring a total of 34 points.
As a slumping LSU offense seemed to take a step forward Sunday, the usually reliable Tiger bullpen took a glaring step back.
Six LSU pitchers issued a sea-son-high 10 walks, and starter Zac Person didn’t make it out of the fourth inning as Florida completed a three-game sweep of the Tigers, 11-7 , in Gainesville on Sunday.
It was the fi rst sweep of LSU since Vanderbilt swept the Tigers in April 2011 .
Junior catcher Kade Scivicque gave the Tigers an early lead Sun-day, lacing an RBI single to left fi eld to score sophomore shortstop Alex Bregman and put the Tigers up 1-0 .
Gator center fi elder Harrison Bader answered in the bottom of the frame, dispatching Person’s 2-1 pitch into the left-center fi eld bleach-ers for Florida’s fourth home run of the series to knot the game at one.
The Tigers strung together three consecutive hits in the second, the last a double from freshman left fi elder Jake Fraley that scored ju-niors Conner Hale and Tyler Moore .
Fraley fi nished the game 2-for-4 , joining Hale as the only two LSU players with multiple hits.

Following Florida’s three-game sweep of LSU in Gainesville, Fla., over the weekend, a number of issues came to light for the Tigers.
One that has plagued LSU for weeks now has been the squad’s hitting slump since Southeastern Conference play began. The Tigers ran into a buzz when the team travelled to Vanderbilt on March 14. Since then, the offense has failed to provide any sort of spark for the struggling program.
LSU hitters as a whole have slumped at the plate, re-sulting in two conference series losses and a defeat against unranked Tulane.

LSU’s fi nal home stand of the 2014 season was a retrospective weekend.
The men’s tennis team show-cased the future of the program to past players and coaches who gathered at W.T. “Dub” Robinson Stadium for an alumni reunion.
The No. 61 Tigers (11-10, 2-7 SEC) defeated No. 36 South Carolina (10-10, 3-5 SEC) 4-3 on Friday before falling 4-0 to No. 15 Florida (10-7, 5-3 SEC) on Sunday, dem-onstrating their potential to sev-eral alumni on hand while also showing there is still room for im-provement.
“It’s almost like it was a scripted match on Friday as far as what we could provide them with a memory,” said LSU coach Jeff Brown. “They get to see that there’s some work to be done and that’s fi ne too.”
Prior to a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the Gamecocks on Friday, the men’s tennis program celebrated an alumni reunion at the Bocage Racquet Club on Thursday night.
Joining Brown and his 2014 squad were former players from several different eras, includ-ing six lettermen from the 1950s and many of Brown’s teammates from the 1988 NCAA runner-up team that lost to Stanford in the fi nals.
The 1988 season remains the most successful in LSU history, and players from that squad, in-cluding the 1989 NCAA Singles champ Donni Leaycraft, former coach Jerry Simmons and Felix Barrientos, who beat Stanford’s Patrick McEnroe in the fi nal, were on hand to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their memo-rable season.
“It’s been a great weekend,” Brown said. “For all those years, there were certainly fond memo-ries. There was talk of the ’88 team that resonates today. … Having some of the teammates of mine from the NCAA fi nals team, I haven’t seen some of them since then.”
Current Tigers, including junior Chris Simpson, said they enjoyed visiting with some of the past players who helped pave the way for the present tennis program.
The support from alumni, along with a record crowd of 378 people, allowed LSU to overcome a 3-1 defi cit to South Carolina on Friday.
Because of the threat of rain on Friday, singles were
played prior to doubles. Shortly after, several tennis alumni were honored on court between singles and doubles play. LSU secured its second SEC win of the sea-son behind sophomore Tam Trinh and freshman Eric Perez’s 8-6 clincher.
“It was brilliant to hear about the past of LSU tennis, and get-ting to see all the teams from past years was awesome,” Simpson said. “They really did help us out Friday and when it came down to the last couple of points, the crowd got us through.”
While fans were treated to an emotional victory on Friday, they witnessed the reality of LSU’s developing program in a 4-0
loss to the Gators during Sunday’s match.
A l t h o u g h Friday’s victory was encouraging, Brown said it’s important for the Tigers to learn how to react to
their wins. And heading into the fi nal stretch of the season, he said it is critical that LSU continues to improve.
“[Florida] fi nished us off and South Carolina didn’t,” Brown said. “Against Florida, they’re a little more higher level so they make you pay for your mistakes just a little bit more. That’s what these matches are about and this season is about, learning to han-dle different situations whether it’s a win or a loss.”
The LSU softball team knew it needed to make a statement Sunday, with its recent slump drawing the Ti-gers further down the Southeastern Conference standings.
But the Tigers fell victim to in-consistent hitting as they often have this season, dropping them to the bottom of the conference.
LSU (19-15, 2-7 SEC) regis-tered just four hits through seven innings, and a fi ve-run third inning keyed Alabama (31-5, 11-1 SEC) to a 5-1 victory against the Tigers on Sunday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The win fi nished a three-game sweep for the Crimson Tide and marked LSU’s fi fth consecutive loss.
“This is a tough place to play. Alabama is a tough team and a tough program, and they did a lot of things really well,” said coach Beth Torina. “I think the key for us is to continue to work and grind it out.”
The sweep marks a brutal stretch for the Tigers, in which eight of their past nine games have come against the defending national cham-pions and two teams in the top-10 nationally. Their 2-7 conference re-cord drops them to a tie for last in the SEC with Mississippi State.
The star of the game was Ala-bama pitcher Jaclyn Traina, who went the full seven innings allow-ing one run and only fi ve runners on base. The victory marked Traina’s team-leading 13th win of the season and 10th complete game.
Senior pitcher Ashley Czechner got the start for the Tigers and pro-duced another disappointing perfor-mance to an up-and-down season. Czechner fl ew through the fi rst two innings unscathed, but a fl urry of hits in the third doomed the Pawley’s Is-land, SC, native.
The Tide led off the third with three consecutive singles, two of
which never left the infi eld. Sopho-more outfi elder Andrea Hawkins cleared the bases with a double, and Torina had seen enough, sending in freshman Baylee Corbello to replace Czechner.
The pitching change did not stop the bleeding completely. A walk and two-run single by sophomore utility player Leona Lafaele pushed Alabama’s lead to fi ve, and it was Traina’s game to close out from there.
The Tigers’ only sign of offen-sive production came in the seventh and fi nal inning, as three consecutive base runners gave LSU its lone run of the game. But with one out and the tying run on deck, senior second baseman Allison Falcon grounded into a double play, mercifully ending
a tumultuous trip to Tuscaloosa.LSU will play a midweek
game in Monroe against UL-Mon-roe on Tuesday and then make a much-needed return to Tiger Park for a three-game series against Tennes-see. Torina said the return to Baton Rouge should give the team some newfound confi dence.
“Schedule-wise, it doesn’t get much easier for us, but the good thing about it is that we get to go back home to Tiger Park, and there we feel like we can compete with anyone,” Torina said.

Tigers showcase future to past players
‘It was brilliant to hear about the past of LSU
tennis...’ Chris Simpsonjunior tennis player
designated hitter Sean McMullen cranked a solo home run to open the third, putting the Tigers back up 4-2 .
From there, the sudden offen-sive resurgence quickly stagnated.
Facing Gator relievers Kirby Snead and Bobby Poyner , the Tigers collected only three hits after the fourth , using coach Paul Mainieri’s new aggressive approach at the plate to no avail.
Mainieri yanked Person in the fourth after Gator catcher Taylor Gushue’s RBI single was followed by Person’s second walk of the in-ning, inserting senior right-hander Nate Fury .
Fury issued back-to-back walks on nine pitches to plate another run, then gave up a two-RBI single to Pe-ter Alonso to put the Gators in con-trol, 6-4.
The Florida fi fth followed the same script as Tiger junior reliever Henri Faucheux walked two bat-ters to start the inning, allowed
a sacrifi ce bunt then intentionally walked Alonso to set up a force at each base.
Mainieri pulled Faucheux in fa-vor of freshman Parker Bugg , who promptly surrendered an RBI single and two-RBI double sandwiched around a popout to make the Tigers’ defi cit 10-4 .
Senior third baseman Christian Ibarra hit a sacrifi ce fl y and junior outfi elder Chris Sciambra cranked a two-run home run in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to mount any sort of serious rally.
Bregman , whom Mainieri shielded from the media prior to the series to take some pressure off, fi n-ished the three-game set 0-for-12 and saw his batting average drop from .330 to .291 .
Meanwhile, Ballard continued her solid play into the second half, fi nishing with 24 points and 10 re-bounds .
Outside of Ballard , the Lady Tigers shot 4-of-42 from the fi eld.
“It just wasn’t our night to-night,” said freshman guard Jas-mine Rhodes . “But we kept fi ght-ing, even though we were down by a lot. We strive to come back and never gave up. We tried to over-come adversity, but we just came up short.”
No other LSU player fi nished with double-digit scoring. Senior forward Theresa Plaisance , who led the team in scoring this season with 15.5 points per game, fi nished with seven points and 12 rebounds .
LSU freshman guard Jasmine Rhodes , who received her fi rst start with the injuries to Kenney and
Moncrief , scored eight points and collected eight rebounds.
The Lady Tigers out-rebound-ed Louisville 48-46, but LSU’s lack of shooting effi ciency com-bined with the Cardinals’ 40 per-cent success rate from beyond the arc led to the quick downfall of the visiting squad.
It was a rough ending for Plai-sance’s career.
“I can’t say more about [this team],” Plaisance said. “It’s a sad moment for me. I’m really going to miss this place. I’m going to miss the staff. I’m going to miss the players. I’m just going to miss the whole tradition of LSU . It’s a great place to be.”

TIMOTHY D. EASLEY / The Associated Press
The best TED Talks focus on origi-nal content through monologues and knowledgeable speakers, and TEDxLSU tried its best to live up to that standard in its second year on campus.
Jacqueline Stephens, director of Ba-sic Research at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, used her presentation to discuss scientific research as a cathe-dral of human thought, noting that all knowledge builds on itself for thousands of years and provides context for other areas of science.
According to Stephens’ words, each presentation offered something valuable, even if it wasn’t obvious at the time.
But I’m still not sure how owner of Flaming Lotus Jewelry Lauren Col-lignon’s presentation, which centered on the idea that “everything is bananas, all the way down,” was supposed to enlighten us.
Collignon’s lighthearted dance and her talk of the shenanigans of a banana-suited duo defined her as the entertain-ment piece, and it came off as mocking privilege.
Her privilege to be on a stage with a rapt audience should’ve seemed more important, and her point about the insan-ity of life is valuable. But the way she presented made it seem like a poorly re-hearsed joke.
Most everyone in TEDxLSU’s crowd was older and upper class. They were keen on raising aware-ness and then heading home, a good day’s work finished after listening to 19 people lecture at them
for five hours. To them, the bananas seemed delightful.
Some students attended as well, which is impressive considering the stu-dent ticket fee was $50.
As Rebecca Burdette, event manag-er, mentioned after the event concluded, that’s much less than the ticket price of some official TED talks — those climb to the $2,500 range.
I understand the event needs to earn money, but the cost ends up barring many community members who might otherwise attend.
Instead of feeling like true commu-nication with the Baton Rouge public, TEDxLSU felt like a short update for those who prefer to dip their toes into social involvement once a year.
It was slacktivism at its finest — a Ponzi scheme wherein this year’s fees pay for the next year’s event and so on — until the whole TEDx nation consumes itself.
The theme of this year’s event was “Prepare to Enact,” which entailed tak-ing lessons beyond the Shaver Theatre and not focusing on the shortness and inadequacy of presentations.
But the way it turned out, if en-act really means “convincing audience members to donate money, remember capitalism above all else and focus on job creation,” then it went well.
At least half the speakers wouldn’t have been out of place at a Louisiana business conference.
The motivations behind the event are noble, and starting conversations about community issues is important. Like one presenter, Bryan McCann, assistant professor of Rhetoric and Cultural Studies, mentioned straight from the TED slogan, “By using this platform — to promote ideas worth spreading — let’s use conversations
after this talk to enact.”McCann had the right idea, along
with some of the other presenters. I heard conversations during the breaks that reached deeper than typical friend-ly debates, and that’s something that doesn’t happen often enough amid social norms about politeness.
IBM manager of Talent Develop-ment Dima Ghawi had it right, though, when she came on stage holding a glass vase. She shattered the vase at the end of her talk, urging audience members to take risks with their own vases.
That risk is what this year’s talks lacked. Most points came across as va-nilla, and many speakers followed what seemed to be templates for presentation.
The unnerving underlying tone stressed assimilating in a society that sets marginalized people up for fail-ure, and I expected more from a poverty-based and classist University town full of radical thinkers.
There were exceptions. Baton Rouge Youth Coalition leader Domi-nique Ricks shut the crowd up for a blessed five minutes with a poem about racism.
The first student to present also spoke, opening the door to other, greater student contributions beyond the volun-teer positions they already hold.
TEDxLSU begged for more of these mold-breaking presentations, and I hope next year they’ll focus on new perspec-tives instead of the same stale ideas found in self-help books.

“This argument is slightly one-sided in that it does not address the social stigma forced on men by schools. I went to multiple schools in my childhood that would not allow me to grow my hair out passed my eyebrows, over my ears or touching my collar. It was deemed a “dis-traction” by the Principle. This issue was so important to the school that I received detentions for my hair length, and my brother was not allowed to walk across the aisle at his graduation unless he cut his hair. How is it more of a distraction for a guy to have long hair than it is for a girl? It isn’t. In this same vein, guys are not allowed to have any visible piercings in many schools, including all but one of the schools that I’ve attended in my life. Saying it’s sexism that girls don’t have certain freedoms when it comes to their choice of attire is fine, but it must be noted that guys have the same sort of restrictions forced upon them. If my shorts were too short in school, I was forced to go home and change (this has happened to me).”

Louie’s Cafe part of an American tradition
You don’t need me to tell you about Louie’s Cafe. You know the smell, you know the chili cheese hash browns, you know the constant rotation of waitresses, all of them your best friend.
Regrouping at Louie’s after a long night is a quintessential part of the LSU experience, equal to com-plaining about Riverside Towing or taking midnight calls from acquain-tances you barely remember who need a ride home.
But as much as Louie’s is an LSU and Baton Rouge tradition, it’s part of a larger group of restaurants of its type that tie the South to the rest of the nation.
These places are all over the country, serving the same greasy food and hospitality to the same groups of people. Amanda’s, a tiny diner in my hometown in Rhode Is-land, opens at 4 a.m. to serve truck-ers and anyone else unlucky enough to be passing through in the early hours.
They pepper pit-stop towns along interstates all across the coun-try and sit in the heart of its biggest cities. And wherever you consider Baton Rouge to fall on that spec-trum, Louie’s is a contribution to the
national diner conversation.Diners like Louie’s wouldn’t
be absolutely everywhere in this country if they didn’t say something about us as a people.
The United States has, for a very long time, been a nation on the move. Since Thomas Jefferson made the purchase that gave this state its name, Americans have expanded into the open space, always look-ing for a place to settle and call their own.
We define ourselves by our movements and the new places we adopt, whether it’s where we were born, the college we pay out-of-state tuition to attend or the foreign coun-try we study in and dream about re-turning to. We are where we go.
That’s why diners like Louie’s and Amanda’s popped up all over the country in the ’50s. We were building interstates, packing up and moving to newly open regions of the country, and wherever we came from, we brought our neon signs and recipes for bacon and eggs with us.
Every diner, no matter what it serves or what accents the fry cooks speak with, is basically the same. In any state, the diner you’re in will re-mind you of the one down the street from where you grew up.
For someone in a new state, a new city, a new country, it’s com-forting to know that wherever you end up, there will be a place where a smiling waitress will serve you a cheap cup of coffee.
From all this, you might think I’m worried about Louie’s moving to a new building. It’s easy to think that a move to the former Wendy’s will symbolize a new, sterile corporate identity.
But I don’t think that’s coming. For all that the Louie’s management needs, like new facilities, more space and more parking — and God knows it needs more parking — we need Louie’s to keep being what it already is.
We need that place where they don’t care if you’re coming back
from Sunday morning mass or lean-ing your head on the table because the sunlight is about to make your head split open, and for Baton Rouge and LSU, that place is Louie’s.
When I first arrived in town, I asked someone on the sidewalk by the Quad where I could get a decent breakfast.
Without hesitation, the guy re-ferred me to Louie’s.
“It’s kind of dirty,” he said, “but you’ll like it.”
The guy turned out to be right. Louie’s is kind of dirty, kind of
grungy, and the smell is famous for a reason. But that’s just the way we like it, and I don’t think it’s going to change any time soon.
Good luck, Louie’s. Stay dirty.

Lack of Western action reflects poorly on alliance
Imagine if the Baton Rouge Police Department got a call from the LSU Police Department saying a mass shooting was imminent on campus, and they needed serious backup. Imagine further if BRPD gave a half-answer along the lines of, “We could maybe send you some extra Kevlar, but this really isn’t our thing yet.” That is basi-cally the North Atlantic Treaty Or-ganization’s, or NATO’s, position on the Ukrainian crisis.
In recent weeks, Russia has been massing ground forces on Ukraine’s eastern border for what the Kremlin calls “exercises.” With the number of soldiers almost as high as 80,000 and potentially 50,000 more on the way, one could hardly call these measures exer-cises.
In addition, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been busy build-ing a case for war with the Russian populace. This includes even more rhetoric about the dangers and “brutality” that the Russian-speak-ing people in Ukraine face.
What this all boils down to is
the fact that Putin fully intends to invade eastern Ukraine within the next few weeks.
And what has the West re-sponded with? Not much, actually. While the Russian bear prepares to go to war with Ukraine, President of the European Council Herman van Rompuy called for “de-escalation” of the crisis at a news conference in Brussels, Belgium on March 26.
What Rompuy does not un-derstand is that Russia will not de-escalate if it isn’t met with over-whelming force to make it back down. By refusing to put a substan-tive military option on the table, the West has removed its best leverage against the Kremlin.
What is needed is a NATO-operated no-fly zone over eastern Ukraine, shipments of arms and
munitions to the Ukrainian military and a total mobilization by the Al-liance. The full weight of NATO conventional forces would be more than ample to deter Putin. He isn’t seeking a fight with the West. He is merely pushing, and at the mo-ment, we are allowing him to. His troop buildup is a response to the absence of any consequences for his actions.
Instead, NATO is taking the position that it will not directly in-tervene unless one of the member states is directly threatened, which would result in a response by all members under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which estab-lishes that an attack on one is an at-tack on all.
This position allows the Krem-lin to take free rein with any — as the Russians call them — “near abroad” states with impunity and effectively throws Ukraine — which ousted its government in fa-vor of closer ties with the Europe — under the bus. This is the same kind of vacillating that allowed the Third Reich to illegally grab Aus-tria, Czechoslovakia and half of Poland.
Failing to deter aggression only invites more of it.
Despite engaging in both Af-ghanistan and Libya, NATO was formed primarily to deter Soviet
(read: Russian) expansion into Eu-rope after the Second World War. Putin is pushing for expansion as we speak, and the Alliance ap-pears to be sitting on its hands. If NATO cannot act to maintain the sovereignty of one of its Partners for Peace, then it should no longer exist as an entity.
Organizations like this are only needed as much as they are vi-able. Failing to meet this challenge will render NATO the appendix of international organizations. Unless it wants to go the way of the Com-monwealth of Nations — which is nothing more than a nod to the for-mer strength of the British Empire — then the Alliance must cease this charade of cowardice toward the Kremlin and fulfill its intended purpose.
Otherwise, we are guaranteed to be looking at a much larger crisis down the road.

Let your kitty have fun in the sun this
Spring Break
chip pancakes.Once Louie’s moves this
summer from the West State Street building it has occupied since 1986 to the nearby for-mer Wendy’s restaurant on Lake Street, however, diners will find a roomier, less grease-saturated ex-perience — for a while, at least. Owner Jimmy Wetherford told The Daily Reveille earlier this month that the new location will include the iconic open kitchen, counter and stools.
Employees and patrons alike are confident the new Louie’s will maintain its signature atmo-sphere, too, but it’s not because of the setup of the building.
When Jessica Poni moved to Baton Rouge from Sudan, she found both a job and a home away from home at Louie’s. Poni has worked at Louie’s for 13 years now, doing everything from washing dishes to waiting tables. She doesn’t mind the smell or the slightly ragged building, she said, because it completes the environment that is home to her Baton Rouge family — cowork-ers who believe in teamwork and customers always willing to have a friendly conversation.
“You can have a beautiful building, but the people are what matter,” Poni said.
Fortunately, Louie’s appears in no danger of losing customers, even once it moves. The experi-ence of eating there is a tradition, according to English freshman Vincent Rodomista and finance sophomore Logan Williams. Both students are New Orleans natives whose mothers ate at Louie’s when they attended the University in the 1980s. When Rodomista visited the Univer-sity for the first time, his mom brought him to Louie’s, and he has since developed a soft spot for diner food.
So has Williams, who first dined at Louie’s after an outing in Tigerland. With its tradition-al menu and small, somewhat cramped diner atmosphere, Lou-ie’s represents an American phe-nomenon that is becoming harder to find but that everyone seems to embrace, Williams said.
