The LSU President took News 2's Brett Buffington on a one-on-one tour of the campus today. The school sits along a lake; a popular place for swimming in the summer, transformed to hockey rinks in the winter. He pointed out popular spots along campus, spots his daughter will become familiar with as she starts the semester.
