Vols cruise past Wolfpack, 35-21 Lauren Kittrell Sports Editor ATLANTA - Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley’s hot seat just cooled down.

The Volunteers outscored N.C. State’s Wolfpack 35-21 at the Georgia Dome to win the 2012 Chick-Fil-A kickoff game. The win

marks a promising start for the unranked Vols.

Junior quarterback Tyler Bray threw to junior college transfer Cordarrelle Patterson to put six points on the board in the first five minutes of the game. With only 1:18 left in the first quarter, the team scored two touchdowns and a safety making the score 22-7. They never lost the lead.

Around Rocky Top 1777— The Stars and Stripes flies

Flag Day, a national day of observance.

The American flag is flown in battle for the first time, during a Revolutionary War skirmish at Cooch's Bridge, Maryland.

Patriot General William Maxwell ordered the stars and strips banner raised as a detachment of his infantry and cavalry met an advance guard of British and Hessian troops. The rebels were defeated and forced to retreat to General George Washington's main force near Brandywine Creek in Pennsylvania.

Three months before, on June 14, the Continental Congress adopted a resolution stating that "the flag of the United States be thirteen alternate stripes red and white" and that "the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." The national flag, which became known as the "Stars and Stripes," was based on the "Grand Union" flag, a banner carried by the Continental Army in 1776 that also consisted of 13 red and white stripes. According to legend, Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross designed the new canton for the Stars and Stripes, which consisted of a circle of 13 stars and a blue background, at the request of General George Washington. Historians have been unable to conclusively prove or disprove this legend.

With the entrance of new states into the United States after independence, new stripes and stars were added to represent new additions to the Union. In 1818, however, Congress enacted a law stipulating that the 13 original stripes be restored and that only stars be added to represent new states.

On June 14, 1877, the first Flag Day observance was held on the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes. As instructed by Con<None>ress, the U.S. flag was flown from all public buildings across the country. In the years after the first Flag Day, several states continued to observe the anniversary, and in 1949 Congress officially designated June 14 as

1783 — Treaty of Paris signed The American Revolution officially comes to an end when representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Spain and France sign the Treaty of Paris on this day in 1783. The signing signified America's status as a free nation, as Britain formally recognized the independence of its 13 former American colonies, and the boundaries of the new republic were agreed upon: Florida north to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic coast west to the Mississippi River.

The events leading up to the treaty stretched back to April 1775, on a common green in Lexington, Massachusetts, when American colonists answered King George III's refusal to grant them political and economic reform with armed revolution. On July 4, 1776, more than a year after the first volleys of the war were fired, the Second Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence. Five difficult years later, in October 1781, British General Charles Lord Cornwallis surrendered to American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia, bringing to an end the last major battle of the Revolution.

In September 1782, Benjamin Franklin, along with John Adams and John Jay, began official peace negotiations with the British.

The Continental Congress had originally named a five-person committee--including Franklin, Adams and Jay, along with Thomas Jefferson and Henry Laurens--to handle the talks. However, both Jefferson and Laurens missed the sessions--Jefferson had travel delays and Laurens had been captured by the British and was being held in the Tower of London. The U.S. delegation, which was distrustful of the French, opted to negotiate separately with the British.

CAMPUS NEWS

New Humanities Center moves UT toward Top 25 RJ Vogt News Editor The University of Tennessee Humanities Center will celebrate its inauguration on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in McClung Museum.

Princeton philosophy professor Anthony Appiah will present “The Life of Honor” and a public reception will follow. Appiah is well known for his work in philosophy, working on political and moral theory, the philosophy of language and African intellectual history. He was awarded a National Humanities Medal in 2012 by President Obama and was named one of the top 100 global thinkers in 2010 by Foreign Policy magazine.

Tom Heffernan, the Kenneth Curry Professor in the Humanities and director of the Humanities Center, is excited to bring Appiah to campus. “One of the things we needed to inaugurate the humanities center was a very distinguished speaker,” Heffernan said.

The Humanities Center represents five years of planning from department heads in the humanities. “The point of it was to show the university community the centrality of the humanities,” Heffernan said. “The humanities in this institution teach most of the students in the university.”

Every UT student has to take general education classes, many of which fall within the humanities departments.

Tyrel Prentiss, undecided sophomore, hopes to major in a humanities field.

“Studying the humanities is important because they reveal things that are essentially human and important in our daily lives,” he said. “ Through the humanities, one studies success, failure, creativity, culture, emotion and

ideas.”

Wade Scofield, junior in religious studies, sees humanities as being vital to society as a whole. “The continued study of these fields is important to the upkeep of our national and world history, literature, and dogma,” Scofield said.

Students like Scofield and Prentiss will benefit from the Humanities Center as it grows and gains national prestige, raising the value of a humanities degree from UT and bringing UT up to par with Top 25 schools. “All of our peer groups that we’re aspiring to have humanities centers,” Heffernan said.

Four faculty members and four graduate students have been awarded yearlong fellowships as part of the new Center. They will have offices in Melrose Hall, researching various pursuits.

“The importance of this for the grad students is amazing,” Heffernan said.

“Our grad students at the university teach a considerable amount, but they still have to take classes and write a dissertation. It usually delays their graduation considerably.”

As fellows, the four grad students will be able to focus on their work.

“One of the things the humanities center is going to help them do is finish their dissertation and get out in the job market in a timely fashion. And they'll be more competitive,” Heffernan said.

The four graduate fellows are Katharine Burnet, Leah Giamalva, Anthony Minnema, and Kyle Stephens.

They will be joined in their work by Professrs Flavia Brizio-Skov, Vegas Liulevicius, Mark Luprecht, and Rachelle Scot. Their fields range from history to English to religious studies and even modern foreign language.

Staff Colum ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ mind-numbing Victoria Wright Ats and Culture Editor What the heck is all the allure surrounding the book “Fifty Shades of Grey”?

There are many book clubs forming to discuss the novel by author E.L. James, and social media feeds seem to be littered with captioned pictures from the novel’s pages. The book has been a hot topic among my friends this summer, but I just can’t seem to grasp the concept of a virgin college graduate exploring her sexuality through an S&M relationship with a young billionaire.

The storyline sounded cheesy and a bit grandiose for a modern erotic love story, but reluctantly I still attempted to read the book before I passed any further judgment.

The first few pages sound strikingly familiar to a previous novel I had read in high school, but I ignored the thought and continued reading.

“Hmmmm, where I have I heard this story before?”

I asked myself.

Though I tried to tuck my novel déjà vu away, I couldn’t escape the feeling that I had met these characters in an alternate universe. Somewhere, in my adolescent past, I had read a novel centered around an awkward young girl who found her saving grace through a relationship with a boy found only in fantasy — a hundred-year-old vampire with Adonis good looks and enough charm to swoon Mitt Romney into voting for Barack Obama. I was rereading Twilight. And even after accepting this sad truth, I was unable to put the book down.

The premise is fundamentally the same, except James has changed enough detail to avoid copyright infringement. As I continued to read the novel, I began to have nostalgic feelings of reading Twilight in my confused days as a high school student. Twilight was

my escape to a world where relationships worked, and now the fantasy has caught on with adults.

Most “Fifty Shades of Grey” fans were once avid “Twilight” readers in high school, which is a more appropriate life stage at which to become enthralled in such fantasies. As college- educated 20-year-olds nearing graduation, reading James’ novel is a detriment.

Apart from the redundancy of certain themes within the novel that ultimately prevented the story from moving forward, the overall concept is nothing more than a 14-year-old’s innermost fantasy.

Our culture embracing lackluster literature and calling it brilliance is unfortunate, as today’s society hosts an atmosphere in which stable relationships are hard to experience as we continously move towards a state of limbo while becoming monogamous. When reality becomes unfulfilling, what’s the best answer? Escapism.

I hate to pin the blame on women, but we seem to be the primary readers of these books. Because love appears lackluster for many of us in reality, we escape into someone else’s life, almost like talking about celebrity issues as if they were our own. What “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “Twilight” have in common is a storyline that allows people, primarily women, to delve into something bigger than themselves. It’s not a pretty reality, but it is an easier pill to swallow knowing that we’re sad and reading the novels for comfort instead of for being intellectually inept.

Even though there’s reason behind the novel’s allure, the fact of the matter is that we are still reading books of little literary merit when good, well-written books actually exist. There are novels that provide great stories with the same amount of fantasy to help anyone escape reality for a short time. However, we don’t want that.

The simplicity of the novel is what we crave because we are unable to experience normalcy in our realities. So many people desire a normal dating experience when they meet someone they like; however, it has to be more complicated than a phone call and a first date.

So we continue to cling to the cheesy novels, and in a few years, we will wonder why we became so infatuated over the trend.

Americans believe in ‘Curiosity’ Lo s t In Co m m u n i ca t i o n by

Jan Urbano

At first, I didn’t think much of it. Hearing about NASA’s landing of a rover on another planet was an event that sounded as if it was only for particular groups of people — science fiction aficionados, for example. However, I decided to give it a chance and see what made the event so popular, as my Facebook wall was strewn with nothing but comments of NASA’s live feed about the mission. My next few moments were spent watching a simulation video of the rover’s landing sequence, and at that point I was hooked.

The complexity and uncertainty of the mission — especially the intimidating “Seven minutes of terror,” where the Mars Science Laboratory had to navigate and land itself, due to lag time of communicating between Mars and Earth — quickly grabbed my interest. The main difference between this mission and other Mars exploration missions was the landing sequence. To summarize the landing from nbcnews.com: After safely entering the Martian atmosphere, the probe’s heat shield would be ejected, and a supersonic parachute would then be deployed.

Next, however, the parachute would also be discarded, and a series of rocket thrusts would decelerate the probe — now only made up of the Curiosity rover and a sky crane attachment. The sky crane would slowly lower the rover down to the Martian ground with tethers, then disconnect itself and fly away to crash a safe distance from the rover.

Sounds simple enough when you summarize it, but it is hard to imagine how much time, work and programming went into just performing the landing sequence.

It’s no surprise that many people like watching dangerous and risky events for entertainment, and this was no exception. If anyone wants to doubt the difficulty of such a task, according to Space.com,

“(out) of the previous 39 missions targeted for Mars from around the world, 15 have been successes and 24 failures.” That averages out to a dismal global success rate of approximately 38 percent.

NASA’s success with this rover mission illustrates the perseverance and dedication of hundreds of scientists, engineers, and thousands of hours of planning and testing. However, what occurred on August 6, 2012 was not an achievement just for NASA, or for our government — it was an achievement for our generation and for the generations to come. To have lived and seen such a momentous occasion — and be an eyewitness to the birth of the “Mohawk Guy” meme — that was when I realized what I was watching was an extremely rare opportunity. This event will lay the foundation down for future space-exploration missions, not just for the United States, but for other countries as well.

With the Curiosity rover now fully operational and even disintegrating rocks with its laser, it’s hard to not think about what is next in regards to the future of space exploration for the U.S. We used to be a dominant force in space exploration, and although we still are, other countries are quickly catching up. NASA’s budget, which began decreasing in share size beginning in the mid-1960s, according to London’s The Guardian, went from 0.1 percent of the U.S. federal budget in 1958 to a peak of 4.41 percent of the budget in 1966, and is now going to a predicted 0.5 percent for 2012, a miniscule amount.

This disturbing trend of budget cuts for NASA has put the organization and the future of space-faring vehicles in jeopardy, but with the great landing of Curiosity, hopefully more money can be appropriated for space exploration and research. The futuristic space technologies that we have seen in numerous science fiction shows and movies are no longer just fantasies — they are now dreams that can be reached. With Curiosity’s success, we have made a small but significant step toward the future for space exploration. In the words of NASA’s own flight control announcer: “Let’s see where our Curiosity gets us.”

I’m going to make a rather bold claim in the following sentence — Men do not understand women. Revolutionary, I know. However, I should probably clarify my meaning. I am not referring to the classic “Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars” sentiment that so many of us jokingly use. I have a more clearly defined target in mind.

More specifically, conservative talking heads and political leaders have proven time and again through their actions and words that they are truly ignorant of women.

Admittedly, I am not the correct person to point this out. As a white male, I am granted all the privileges needed to succeed. I may not call one of America’s important families my own, but it would be insulting to claim that I have not benefited from privilege. I have never experienced the double standard to which society holds women, never received lower pay because of my anatomy, never been ostracized because I asserted my sexual independence. Regardless, I will continue to try to correct my and others’ ignorance.

I don’t know if there is a full blown “war on women”, but at the very least there is a concerted effort by many to keep America’s women in the same historical subservient social position.

Senatorial candidate Todd Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments were laughably misinformed, both biologically and socially, and also revealed a disturbing undercurrent. Akin, among many others, sees distinctions between rapes; the “legitimate” violent rapes, and the “illegitimate” rapes where perhaps the woman deserved it because of her flirtatious ways. This attitude toward female sexuality is incredibly pervasive and morally reprehensible. Essentially, the argument claims that men cannot control their baser urges, so the onus to prevent violence is on

the woman. Sure, men can lead countries and risk the retirement funds of millions of people, but they just cannot control themselves in the presence of a pretty flirtatious girl. Surely the easier and more logical response is to expect everyone else to modify their behavior, rather than to control yours.

Of course, we should have expected Akin’s outrageous comment given the controversy earlier this year surrounding Rush Limbaugh and Sandra Fluke. Though calling Fluke a slut for wanting government assistance in purchasing birth control pills was the most visible event of the birth control argument, the issue was largely brought to national attention by former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who wanted to bring his oppressive form of religious regulation to everyone in America. While seemingly the entire nation focused on the religious and economic aspects of birth control, the main point was lost in the rabble that is generally created by American political reporting.

Birth control grants liberty and freedom to women — the freedom to engage in the same sexual behavior and the ability to choose as men, without the consequence of pregnancy.

Herein lies the foundation of it all — America has a sex problem. Not that we have too much of it, or too little of it, but that we are afraid to talk about it. Countless schools have abstinence-only education programs or no sex education at all, leaving millions of teenagers to battle their hormones with little practical advice. For whatever reason (I blame our Puritan heritage), Americans still possess an inherent shame of their bodies, which manifests itself in the inability to talk about sex without the crutch of religious fervor or moral indignation. Our inability to maturely discuss sex and our bodies, however, has very real consequences, as seen in the inability of our political leaders to grant women the same freedom and respect that they do their privileged, male counterparts.

Fireworks blaze despite storm Knoxville holds 25th year of popular event Rob Davis Assistant Arts and Culture Editor Even the remains of Hurricane Isaac couldn’t stop Knoxville’s 25th annual Boomsday festival and fireworks show.

Around 400,000 people filled the banks of the Tennessee River and the downtown area to view the largest Labor Day fireworks show in the country.

“The fireworks were a little better this year than the last few,” Cason Hewgley, senior in political science, said. “In the past few years, there has been a lot of smoke that hung around from the fireworks being shot off. It was a little windy this year and it helped clear the smoke away and made for a great view of the fireworks.”

Rain moved into the area thirty minutes before the show began, but subsided shortly after.

The night was clear and cool as the twenty minute show began; however, rain moved in again around fifteen minutes into the extravaganza.

“The rain didn’t really affect the fireworks,” Hewgley said.

“We did get in the car for the very end, but it didn’t affect the quality of the fireworks.”

Patrons could view the fireworks from many locations, including from boats on the river.

A large crowd gathered on top of the G10 parking garage next to Neyland Stadium to

watch the show.

Spectators arrived and began tailgating hours in advance to make sure they had a great view.

“We moved our car to G10 around 10 in the morning,” Hewgley said. “We had a great location on the top of the garage. I’ve watched it from downtown and other places around the area, but I think G10 is the best location. You have the perfect vantage point.”

Cars could be seen with license plates ranging from Blount County to South Carolina and Alabama.

The fireworks show was just the capstone for the day.

Boomsday officially opened to the public at 1 p.m. and included concerts sponsored by Q 93.1 and Next Level Wrestling heavyweight championship.

WBIR-TV also had a live broadcast of the event.

During the fireworks show, Star 102.1 - FM played music to accompany the sights above the river.

“For the first half of the show, we had our windows down playing 102.1,” Robbie Leonard, sophomore in political science, said. “The music matched up really well. My favorite segment was when they played the Tennessee Waltz and had the slow motionlooking fireworks. After it started raining, we rolled up the windows and got under our tailgate tent. I thought watching the show with music was a lot better than watching it without.”

6 • THE DAILY BEACON

Sports Editor Lauren Kittrell

SPORTS RECAP continued from Page 1 Head coach Derek Dooley said that despite mistakes, he was proud of the players and their overall performance.

“It was a good win for our team. We made a lot of mistakes in the first half, but had a lot of big plays,” Dooley said. “(There were) a lot of missed opportunities. We gotta hang in there, but I was really proud of how we played in the second half.”

Though the Wolfpack’s offense managed to avoid a blowout, N.C. State quarterback Mike Glennon was unable to avoid UT’s defense, giving up four interceptions and losing the game.

N.C. State head coach Tom O’Brien said he had to give credit to Tennessee for just being a good football team.

“It just came down to too many big plays we gave up on defense,” O’Brien said. “We turned the ball over too many times. What it boils down to is too many long plays and long drives.”

Zach Fulton was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week, but maintained the theme of improvement for himself and the offensive line as a group, saying he didn’t think he played that well individually.

“I could be a lot better,” Fulton said. “As a group, we did pretty well.

We have a few things to clean up, but it was a good way to establish ourselves early. We’re always going to try to get more rushing yards than we did the week before.”

Tia Patron • The Daily Beacon

Junior wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson runs for a 67-yard touchdown against NC State on Aug. 31.

Patterson’s strong debut predicts hopeful season Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor ATLANTA - It was a coming-out party of sorts for junior college transfer Cordarrelle Patterson, and boy did he shine.

If there were any doubts about how the Vols would respond after losing All-SEC wide receiver Da’rick Rogers weeks before the season, they were answered tonight. “(I’m) proud of the players,” head coach Derek Dooley said.

“We made a lot of mistakes in the first half but had a lot of big plays too.”

Patterson recorded his first reception as a Vol on the second play of the season, a 9-yard hitch route against the far sideline. Tyler Bray targeted Patterson again on the drive but was unable to connect.

It was a promising start for the young receiver and it seemed like a collective sigh of relief was exhaled by the Tennessee side of the crowd when the five-star recruit hauled in the first pass.

But fans were sent into a frenzy when Bray connected with Patterson the next drive on a 41-yard bomb down the left sideline. Not only did Patterson score on a huge play, he roasted All-American cornerback David Amerson.

“He’s obviously a heck of a player,” N.C. State head coach Tom O’Brien said. “The kid is 6’4” but had a lot of speed, that’s puts some stress on the defense.”

Players and coaches joked about the play in the post-game press conference, but the new receiver showed that he has what it takes to get it done on a high level, just four minutes into the ballgame.

“He (Patterson) came over after that first touchdown and was like ‘man I was so scared I almost dropped it and fell down,’ I think he was real excit-

ed to get his first touchdown,” said Justin Hunter.

That wasn’t all for Patterson — he was just whetting the Tennessee faithful’s appetite.

Following an insane 36 seconds when the Vols picked off Wolfpack quarterback Mike Glennon, scored a 72-yard touchdown and recorded a safety, Patterson raced for a 67yard touchdown run on a reverse to cap off the 22-point first quarter for the Vols.

Bray faked the handoff to running back Rajion Neal and gave it to Patterson sprinting behind the line. After making a corner and linebacker both miss, Patterson cut it inside and left another would-be tackler in the dust, making it a foot race. Patterson was able to outrun Amerson’s angle to the sideline and dash into the end zone right in front of the Pride of the Southland Band.

Patterson was unable to record another reception in the second half, but his playmaking ability in the first half had a clear impact on Hunter’s ability to get open after half-time.

Hunter recorded six receptions for 51 yards in the second half.

“They were doubling me a lot early (on), but after those big plays they backed off a little,” Hunter said.

It was an impressive showing from the transfer in his first game when a lot was expected of him. Patterson finished with six catches for 93 yards. No Volunteer freshman has ever had a 100-yard receiving game and Patterson came as close as any, and tacked on 72 rushing yards as well.

The JUCO transfer’s impact on the game was not lost on his teammates “He’s got a great chance to be one of the best in the league,” said linebacker Dontavis Sapp. “As you saw tonight, he played a great game.”
