postable. To encourage recycling and disposal in proper containers, UT will be rolling out new orange and white bins in the coming weeks meant specifically for composting and recycling. Set to appear first at Thompson-Boling Arena, these bins will be utilized at many university sporting events. White bins with orange lids will be designated for composting

and vice versa for recycling. Ironically, the $10,000 cost for the bins is a step down from past expenses to handle waste. Previously, UT athletics allocated $20,000 a year for single-use boxes handed out to tailgaters for garbage. A recent switch to bags lowered costs significantly, and the newly purchased bins have further cut those expenses in half.

Although barriers to the zero waste plan at Neyland Stadium prevail, remaining challenges are limited to disposable cutlery and the occasional piece of polystyrene. Currently, the university hovers at 30 percent waste free. See ZERO WASTE on Page 2

the win. UT needed defensive stops, and it got them. Auburn missed four of its last five shots, and the Volunteer defense refused to let the tight lead slip away. “In the huddle, we said, ‘how many stops can we get in a row?’” senior forward Jeronne Maymon said. “That was our main focus — to go out there and get stops.” Once again, Josh Richardson flexed his offensive muscle Wednesday night with 15 points on 7-for-11 shooting.

Students with a knack for knitting now have a club to call their own. Natalie Gregov, senior in communication studies, has been knitting for years. Friends often asked her for lessons and, after taking the advice of one friend in particular, she brought a knitting club to campus. “I thought it was a pretty good idea,” Gregov said. “There wasn’t one established, and I had to start it up.” She posted flyers around campus and before long had a gathered a group of knitters. At the meetings, members knit while watching movies and enjoying refreshments. No prior experience is needed for one to join the club. One of the objectives of the club is for others to learn the skill, said Gregov. Ana Volz, an undecided freshman, was one of the members new to knitting. “In the summer, I got a crochet book,” Volz said. “I was like, ‘Hey, I want to start making stuff,’ and then I never really figured it out.” Volz then attended a knitting club meeting where Gregov taught her and the other beginner members the basics of knitting. In addition to teaching members how to knit, Gregov uses her skill to give back to the community. She recently donated some of the products of her knitting to a local homeless shelter. Gregov said she hopes the knitting club as a whole can begin donating to those in need.

Copy Editor There is another cultural icon on campus as sacred as the Torchbearer. In 1869, UT purchased the former Matthew McClung estate, an area that today is better known as the UT Institute of Agriculture. What the school may or may not have realized at the time, however, is that the property contains one of the last Native American burial mounds in East Tennessee. Today, the mound sits at the corner of Joe Johnson Drive and Chapman Drive, a relic from long before the likes of Davy Crockett and Andrew Jackson were even born. In the late 1800s, more than 200 burial mounds were known to be in the area. Today, however, the number is less than a few dozen, according to Gerald Schroedl, a professor of the Department of Anthropology. Schroedl said the site on the Agriculture Campus is dated between 600 and 1100 CE and indicative of a Late Woodland Period mound. “Most of them, they’ve been inundated or destroyed, for example, by reservoir construction, so TVA reservoirs destroyed them,” Schroedl said. “Obviously many have been destroyed by urban development, agriculture, just about any kind of modern development you can think of.” It did not become illegal to dig into archaeological sites on federal lands until 1906. Even then, it was difficult to enforce. See BURIAL MOUND on Page 2

Junior forward Jarnell Stokes absords the contact and attempts a lay up in the Vols’ 78-67 victory over the Auburn Tigers on Jan. 15 inside Thompson-Boling Arena. Stokes finished with a double-double, scoring 14 points and gathering 14 rebounds.

Balanced attack leads UT over Auburn, 78-67 Steven Cook Copy Editor Tennessee basketball fans leaving early to beat the traffic lucked out. The Vols’ late lead was actually safe this time. The Tennessee Vols defeated the Auburn Tigers, 78-67 on Wednesday night in ThompsonBoling Arena for the fifth win in their last six appearances and the 50th career victory for head coach Cuonzo Martin. Each of UT’s five starters finished in double figures for the first time in nearly two years.

“It helps when you have balance like that in scoring the ball,” Martin said after the game. “Any time you are shooting over 50 percent from the field, it helps you.” The Vols held a double-digit lead on five occasions and never trailed in the contest. Despite that, the pesky Tigers gave UT all it could handle and kept the game interesting until the final whistle. Auburn cut the deficit to two points in the second half and trailed by just five with less than three minutes left. But a repeat of Saturday’s heartbreaking loss to

Texas A&M wasn’t in the cards. Senior guard Jordan McRae was a big reason why. He had 14 of his 21 points in the second half, hit five free throws in the last 1:04 and seemed to demand the ball in crunch time. “At the end of the game,” McRae said, “I really want the ball for our team, to shoot the free throws at the end, so I was just trying to make sure I got it.” With Auburn guards KT Harrell and Chris Denson — who combined for 39 points — slicing through the Vol defense, however, it would take much more than free throws to seal

“Buying my own groceries for the first time was a mystic paradise where no one tells you that you can’t buy Cheez-It’s. But now I plan ahead so I can get in and out of Kroger without walking down the same aisle.” @UTDailyBeacon www.utdailybeacon.com
