LSU Day, scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed until the fall semester because of inclement weather forecasts.”We are expected to get lightning, possibly hail, tornado watches and maybe flash flooding,” said Kristine Calongne, assistant vice chancellor of University Relations, in an e-mail. “Therefore, we have to put safety first.”The National Weather Service forecasts a 60 percent chance of rain Saturday with severe thunderstorms. Though the worst weather is expected Saturday morning, conditions could interfere with set-up, according to a University news release.”The safety of event staff and volunteers is of [the highest] importance,” the release said.When a new date has been determined it will be announced through lsuday.com and lsu.edu, according to the release.Because of the postponement, LSU Dining now has more than 600 feet of king cake on its hands. The Sesquicentennial Student Subcommittee planned to create America’s largest king cake, which had already been partially baked Thursday by LSU Dining.”Once you’ve thawed the dough … you cannot reverse it,” said David Heidke, director of LSU Dining. “We have no choice but to continue to bake it today and tomorrow.”The subcommittee considered passing out pieces of cake to students Friday, but that would have been logistically impossible because volunteers and equipment couldn’t be secured by then, said Iftekhar Rouf, subcommittee chairman.The cake will be donated to the Baton Rouge Food Bank. The cake is planned to be baked again when LSU Day is rescheduled.”I’m happy with donating it to the food bank because we’re … not wasting the whole thing,” Rouf said. “And students are not going to be left out because we’re going to do it again in the fall.”—-Contact Ryan Buxton at [email protected]
