The staff has worked hard to provide you with entertaining and informative stories that pertain to your life on campus. Our cover story on graduation touches on many apprehensions seniors experience. The story on international students provides an interesting look at the reasons behind some cliques, and the crime and casino stories deal with issues which are, or will soon be, af­ fecting your life. The sports coverage aims to please fans, and the research section provides informa­ tion on one of LSU's major functions, of which many might not be aware. The quad story deals with a historical as­ pect of LSU, and we have tried to address stu­ dents' environmental concerns with the recy­ cling story. This issue's organization news section covers half of the clubs available to students, and next issue will cover those remaining. This magazine also strives to provide you with a historical account of your time here at LSU. Save this magazine so you can look back 20 years from now and remember what you were doing and how you were feeling. Don't just flip to your favorite section or glance at the pictures. Take advantage of your magazine. Read it from front to back and learn something new, find an organization you want to be involved in, feel pride in your university or get angry at some aspect of it. If you aren't pleased with this magazine, think something is lacking, or feel you can do something better, hey, let us know. We also wouldn't mind knowing about anything that particularly pleased you. Remember, this is your magazine, produced for you, by people just like you. Eimear K. O'Connell SPRING 1 1994 5 PLAYBAC!

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Julie Mason (412-496-3196) GATORADE® NATIONAL BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: BRANDON KNIGHT Former Miami Heat Center and Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year Alonzo Mourning Surprises Standout with Elite Honor FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (March 23, 2010) – In its 25th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with ESPN RISE, today announced Brandon Knight of Pine Crest School (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) as its 2009-10 Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Knight was surprised with the news during his second period class at Pine Crest School by former Miami Heat Center Alonzo Mourning, who earned Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in 1987-88. “When I received this award in 1988, it was a really significant moment for me, so it felt great to surprise Brandon with the news and invite him into one of the most prestigious legacy programs in high school sports,” said Mourning, a Gold Medalist, seven-time NBA All-Star, and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. “Gatorade has been on the sidelines fueling athletic performance for years, so to be recognized by a brand that understands the game and truly helps athletes perform is a huge honor for these kids.” Knight becomes the first-ever student athlete from the state of Florida to repeat as Gatorade National Player of the Year in any sport. He joins 2009 NBA MVP LeBron James (2002-03 & 2001-02, St. Vincent-St. Mary, Akron, Ohio) and 2007 NBA Draft Number One Overall Pick Greg Oden (2005-06 & 2004-05, Lawrence North, Indianapolis, Ind.) as the only student-athletes to win Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in consecutive seasons.

    Southwestern Mass Communication Journal A journal of the Southwest Education Council for Journalism & Mass Communication ISSN 0891-9186 | Vol. 30, No. 1 | Fall 2014 Body Modification: The Case of Tattoo Copyright R. Brandon Rudyk and William R. Davie University of Louisiana at Lafayette This paper explores the now-dismissed case of Louisiana artist, Stephen Allen v. Electronic Arts, Inc., & Ricky Williams. This case, filed on December 31st 2012, went before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. No ruling was reached but the application of contradictory precedents indicates the need for clarification. Additionally, fairness requires that the 1976 Copyright Act be revised in order to allow for art that falls within a “gray” area of the artistic world. This paper argues that the 1989 Supreme Court landmark case of Community for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid demonstrates in its application of the balancing test for determining the relationship between “employee” and “work made for hire” status that athletes should be forewarned of the potential for litigation when it comes to their body artwork.
