Protests at UC Berkeley cause cancellation

novels highlight President Trump to review 2. diffiTeenculties 3. refugee deal with Australia of immigration

A scheduled appearance Wednesday, Feb. 1, at the University of California, Berkeley by alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos was canceled after protests turned violent prior to the event. Roughly 1,500 protesters gathered outside the venue and peacefully protested their opposition to Yiannopolous.

A group of 150 agitators wearing ski masks turned up and began to shoot fireworks, break windows, start fires and throw rocks at police barricades on campus.

Protesters marched down the street with banners reading, “Become Ungovernable” and “This Is War.” Later in the evening, they moved downtown to begin assaulting banking buildings.

Two recently published teen novels, written by immigrants, highlight the difficulties faced by children. Melissa De La Cruz, author of the novel “Something In Between,” came to the U.S. when she was a freshman in high school. Her book follows the experiences of a young girl who comes to the U.S. illegally.

The theme of the novel dresses how many illegal immigrants go on to become valuable members of society, and the issues faced when their immigrant status is less than stellar. In contrast, “The Radius of Us,” written by Marie Marquardt, follows a romantic plot between a girl and an asylum-seeker her family takes in.

On Feb. 1, President Trump went to Twitter to say that he plans to “study” why the deal with Australia to accept refugees who are currently living on Australian islands in detention centers. A number of the refugees that are affected by this deal are also affected by the travel ban, putting the deal in jeopardy. However, while numerous reports about President Trump’s call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull state that he ended the conversation abruptly, Prime Minister Turnbull has said that, regardless of President Trump’s opinion on the deal, the administration has shown its willingness to honor the deal made.

Panel sheds light on human trafficking in East Tenn.

Annie Tieu

Copy Editor Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries, second only to drug-related crimes.

On Wednesday, Feb. 1, the Baker Center hosted a panel discussion on human trafficking and its possible prevention. The panelists were Kate Trudell, executive director of Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking (CCAHT), Jamesena Walker, special agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and Anita Voorhees, president of UT chapter International Justice Mission (IJM). The speakers shared their insights and experiences in human trafficking and later transitioned to a Q&A session.

According to Walker, the stereotype of human trafficking is much different than what is observed in Upper East Tennessee.

“I know everybody has a specific image of what they think human trafficking looks like,” Walker said. “A carload of foreign nationals in a van … That, I know, comes to people’s mind, and that is a form of trafficking as well, but it’s not what we see here in the Upper East Tennessee area.”

The type of human trafficking Walker has mostly seen is gang-related crimes and

prostitution, especially with young women.

Other kinds of investigations include human trafficking sites, forced labor, mail-order brides and domestic servitude. Social media also plays an important role in human trafficking.

A major issue Walker has experienced in law enforcement is struggling to shift blame from the victims to the traffickers and customers.

“I think we’re beginning to realize that the prostitute is not actually the problem,” Walker said. “We’ve got to shift our mindset and arrest these traffickers and also arrest the Johns.”

Trudell’s organization works to raise awareness and education about human trafficking. They also provide survivors with long-term, personalized support that emphasizes peer relationships and giving control back to these survivors.

“Experiencing that level of trauma, in an essence, for the duration of your life, is not going to be undone in a 28-day program or a three-month program or a six-month program. It’s going to take a long time, and so what our organization strives to do is to stick it out,” Trudell said. “It’s about creating a relationship and helping them relearn what healthy relationship dynamics are.”

Students who want to help stop human trafficking can support CCAHT through volunteering or join IJM. The panelists empha-

sized that it is most important for people to address issues in their own interests that can help perpetuate human trafficking.

“Ultimately, trafficking is a demand-driven crime,” Trudell said. “But on the whole, if we don’t start curbing the demand, if we don’t start holding perpetrators more accountable ... and also looking at and addressing, what are these indicators, what is it that’s providing the space for men to think it’s fine to buy a child for sex.”

Trudell blames much of it on the socialization of young adults and unrealistic portrayals of relationships in the media.

“I think we also have to start talking about sex in a healthy way to younger people,” Trudell said. “I think in our community where there’s really not a robust sexual education component to our education system, I think we’re leaving the space for young people to learn about sex through pornography.”

Walker believes educating not only young people but also law enforcement about human trafficking is key.

“I feel like what we’re doing tonight, obviously training for our law enforcement officers, our partners, our social services, judges, DA’s offices, everyone has to be up on this type of crime,” Walker said.

“We have to understand what we’re looking at and understand everyone has to work together.”

Governor seeks to improve Tennessee infrastructure Libby Dayhuff

Staff Writer Gov. Haslam proposed a bill that increases funding for the Tennessee Department of Transportation by increasing fuel and vehicle taxes and decreasing grocery and business taxes on Wednesday, Jan. 18.

The bill can help fund approximately 962 TDOT projects across the state.

TDOT operates on a no-debt basis, so they rely on the gas tax to fund projects. Tennessee’s gas tax has not been increased since 1989. Because of that, funds are being depleted.

“Road construction has become more expensive (since 1989) and cars have become more efficient in the way they use fuel … The source of revenue that was approved in 1989 is diminishing or leveling off and we need to figure out a way to replace it,” Martin Daniel, state representative for the 18th district, said.

Without funding from the bill, projects could take up 40–50 years to complete.

With the bill, projects can be completed in the next 12–13 years. Projects include improving the interstate, road access in

rural areas and replacing bridges.

“We’ll do what we always do depending on the funding because (our infrastructure) is something we need to address,” Mark Nagi, community relations officer for TDOT in Knoxville, said.

The Improve Act would increase the gas tax by 7 cents per gallon and 12 cents per gallon for diesel. This means the average driver will pay approximately $4 more per month for gas.

It will also increase car registration fees by $5. The bill will place a $100 annual fee on electric vehicles and increase charges on vehicles using alternative fuels. It will place a 3 percent charge on rental cars.

“I’ll talk with people in my district over the next few weeks and determine how they feel about (the bill) and implement their wishes,” Daniel said.

The bill also calls for some tax cuts. It will cut the sales tax on groceries by $55 million and business taxes for manufacturers by $113 million. It will also cut the Hall income tax by $102 million. Overall, $270 million in taxes would be cut.

In addition to increasing and cutting taxes, the Improve Act would provide $39 million for cities and $78 million for

counties for transportation projects. It would also allow towns and cities to add a surcharge to their sales tax.

“I realize that something needs to be done to ensure we have a strong and reliable infrastructure, the issue is how to make it happen,” Daniel said.

Now that Gov. Haslam has proposed the bill, the General Assembly will read it

and make necessary changes and it will be sent back to the governor to approve.

“It’s too early to tell whether or not it’s going to pass … I don’t expect anything will happen until April,” Daniel said.

Alternative plans to fund TDOT projects are surfacing by legislators across the state, such as using the budget surplus to fund TDOT projects.

The impact of isolationism on scientific endeavor

Months have passed since the tragic suicide on the 11th Street pedestrian bridge. I am writing to urge the campus community and university officials to consider taking further action to help prevent future student suicides.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people from the ages of 15–34, including college students, in the United States. A substantial number of college students think about suicide, with 33 percent considering suicide in their lifetime. Nationally, approximately 10 percent of students have at least attempted suicide, with 2 percent of students attempting suicide each year.

Among college students who seriously consider suicide, 17 percent attempt suicide but abort such attempts before any life-taking injury is sustained. Given the high prevalence rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, it is incumbent upon us as a community to protect and heal our students.

I commend UT’s current efforts to help students, especially at the UT Student Counseling and Student Health Centers.

Given that suicides have been found to spike within communities afflicted by a recent suicide, such efforts are essential at this time. Troublingly enough, students with suicidal thoughts may begin to consider the pedestrian bridge as a viable method given the recent death on it, as methods have been found to be “contagious.” Installing a bridge barrier could prevent future deaths by suicide.

Given the lethality of jumping off of a pedestrian bridge, this preventative measure may delay someone’s attempt and provide time for intervention. The barrier may also prevent a student from attempting due to the sheer difficulty of overcoming it.

Our university faces some difficult decisions regarding how to help reduce future loss of student life. The university’s recent responses show that care, concern and the encouragement of connectedness among the student body are timely, appropriate and effective.

At first, President Trump’s executive order suspending certain forms of immigration comes off as only an immigration issue. However, as events have unfolded, so to have the wide reaching implications of an immigration policy more concerned with satisfying a constituency as opposed to meeting a challenge with an appropriate response.

The wide-reaching order set forth by Donald Trump has put into focus how important a welcoming immigration policy is for cultivating a robust scientific environment as researchers from across the world have been prevented from carrying out their work as a result of their immigrant status. It is a problem with seemingly low impact, but as science has become a global endeavor with projects and collaborations that can span several continents, there is a clear danger to come from an isolationist policy.

More so than any other country, the U.S. has relied on the admission of scientists from across the world in order to strengthen its own institutions. The classic example of this comes from the massive influx of Jewish scientists that entered the United States in the 1930s trying to escape persecution from Nazi Germany.

Their efforts did nothing short of revolutionizing U.S. science and innovation. Setting up barriers to prevent the addition of new scientists and engineers ignores a tradition that made the U.S. the scientific powerhouse what it is today.

The restrictions on those who can travel have been relatively small. Only Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are on the list. Despite this, major universities from across the country have been concerned

“

enough to call their students home after the travel ban. Some have gone as far as mobilizing their lawyers in order to acquire admittance for students immediately unable to return.

From a day-to-day perspective, the executive order puts a heavy strain on researchers from barred countries as any work that may need to be carried out outside of the U.S. including field research, conferences and meetings with collaborators need to be put on hold.

The actions of our new administration have come under heavy fire from the scientific community, as researchers immediately made their displeasure known. At the moment, a petition asking for a repeal of the immigration ban has been signed by over 27,000 academics, including 51 Nobel Prize winners. Their fear stems from more than the disruption it can have on the U.S.’s scientific ecosystem, as the petition states, “It is inhumane, ineffective and unAmerican.”

Given the world that most scientists have grown up in, it’s very difficult not to feel personally affected by the ban. There are few, if any, researchers who have never worked with foreign-born scientists and the feelings of many researchers reflect that experience. If there is one good thing that has come from the administration’s divisive actions, it’s that it has shown the humanity of a seemingly terse and distant group of people. It is a trend likely to continue if U.S. policy continues to ignore the traditions that made it powerful in the first place.

Some of Knoxville’s “all-star” musicians are coming together Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Central Collective to perform “From the Living Room,” a house showstyle concert series.

The first event in the series took place on Jan. 21 at Barley’s Taproom and Pizzeria, featuring groups such as the Knox County Jug Stompers and Shimmy & the Burns. This upcoming show will be both of the bands’ second, with additional acts featuring a range of artists and genres such as the John Whitlock Trio, Brandon Fulson and Shayla McDaniel.

“From the Living Room” was founded and is presented by Luke Brogden and Matt Montgomery of Southern Cities, an Americana/folk band from Knoxville.

“It started with a jug band in a living room,” Jesse Tindell, member of the Knox County Jug Stompers, said of the series.

“The show is called ‘From the Living Room,’ which is exactly what it sounds like.”

Their intent was to create an intimate environment that allowed an attentive crowd to experience music in a completely unplugged, acoustic format. The venue changes each show and is usually chosen on a volunteer basis. Hosts will offer up

Festival to welcome Year of the Rooster Wyatt Miner

Every year, the East Tennessee Chinese New Year Festival brings people together in song, dance, food, martial arts and celebration of Chinese tradition.

The Chinese New Year celebrates the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. The festival traditionally celebrates the coming of spring, and after centuries of celebration, it holds great cultural significance for many people.

With each new year, the calendar celebrates another animal zodiac, which rotates on a 12-year cycle. This year welcomes the Year of the Rooster.

“I’ve spent years studying Chinese culture and history,” Drew James, a regular East Tennessee Chinese New Year Festival attendee, said. “Events like the East Chinese New Year Festival remind me just why I love the beautiful country

of China.”

This year’s East Tennessee Chinese New Year Festival will be held in the Cox Auditorium in AMB as a collaboration between student groups from Pellissippi State, UT, Middle Tennessee State University and several East Tennessee organizations. Event producer Michael Smith said he is excited for the festival and has many reasons why he loves producing the community event.

“Personally, I have really benefitted from my exposure to Chinese culture, and I want to give back to the Chinese community and also to share some of those benefits with others,” Smith said.

Smith said one of his favorite parts of producing the event is planning the performances.

“Performing on stage is an incredibly valuable experience, especially in boosting self-confidence in learning how to work with others, and I really enjoy working with the coaches and performers to make them look their best on stage,”

Smith said.

Headlining this year’s variety show is Jennifer Zhang, a musician, singer, model and actress from Shanghai who currently lives in Chicago. Zhang is the 2015 Miss Friendship Ambassador of Chicago. For this year’s festival, Zhang’s performance will feature her singing and playing the piano and bamboo flute.

Some of the other performers include the UT Chinese Rock Band STATUS, the UT K-pop dancers SSam Squad, the UT dance group Uni-X and the Wah Lum Kung Fu Lion Dance Team.

“I hope that, for two hours this coming Sunday, (attendees) can feel transported to the other side of the world and experience the type of variety show that is so beloved to Chinese as a New Year starts,” Smith said.

The 2017 East Tennessee Chinese New Year Festival will be held on Sunday, Feb. 5, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Tickets range from $5–$13 and can be purchased at knoxvillechineseculture.org.

Yonder Mountain String Band gives energetic performance Wyatt Miner

Contributor Yonder Mountain String Band came back to Knoxville for another high-energy bluegrass show on Wednesday, Feb. 1.

Before the show started, I wasn’t too sure how it would go — considering this was my first ever experience with bluegrass. At first, people were scattered around the room having their own conversations, and the audience was buzzing with excitement to hear good music. They were ready to get the show on the road.

At 7:30 p.m., the lights dimmed inside the Bijou, and the show was opened by The

Railsplitters. This five-piece bluegrass band from Boulder, Colorado, brought high-energy bluegrass to the stage, and they did a fine job of setting the tone for the show. The Railsplitters showed gratitude to the audience members that came early to see them. One of the band members joked that they were happy to not be playing to an empty room. The band received a standing ovation from various members of the audience.

When Yonder Mountain hit the stage, the venue filled with applause. They introduced themselves quickly and dove into playing. The crowd rose to their feet, and soon, Yonder Mountain had the whole venue dancing to up-tempo bluegrass. No one was sitting still.

Guitarist Adam Aijala said the band opens

up with a “30-minute jam session� before they begin to sing. Personally, I was blown away by their skill. Without a doubt, it was an energetic 30 minutes with excellent talent showcased.

Aijala also mentioned they like to break off into duos and trios on occasion. Aijala split off with bassist Ben Kaufmann while the rest of the band went offstage. Kaufmann put down the bass and picked up a guitar, telling the audience that on occasion he likes to “embarrass himself.�

Kaufmann dedicated a song he wrote to his son: “She Smiles.� The song took a heartfelt tone as Kaufmann sang for his son, who was watching via Facebook Live. The audience constantly cheered as the duo played guitar

and sang together effortlessly. Every audience member, including me, was tapping their toes and cheering for the duo. Needless to say, Kaufmann did anything but embarrass himself.

After a catchy Irish jig, the rest of the band came back onto the stage, and they played crowd favorite, “Half-Moon Rising.� Honestly though, every time the band played a note, the crowd loved it because Yonder Mountain played so well together and not a single one of them missed a beat.

The two bands portrayed happiness that radiated onto the audience. Not a single person in the venue wasn’t smiling. Both groups performed a quality show that more than exceeded my expectations.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Vols look for production from Philips, Parker on Saturday Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor On Tuesday night against Auburn with Lamonte Turner struggling, head coach Rick Barnes turned to two unlikely players to help fill the void.

Barnes called on sophomore Shembari Phillips and freshman Kwe Parker, who played a combined five minutes in the previous game against Kansas State, to help freshman Jordan Bone out at the guard position.

Although their stat lines weren’t extraordinary, Barnes was quick to praise their efforts after their recent struggles.

“We were worried about those two guys,” Barnes said after Tuesday’s win over Auburn.

“We can tell their spirits had gotten broken a little bit. We kept telling them for the last 10 days that ‘we need you guys’ and ‘there is going to come a game.’

“It was tonight.”

Phillips finished the game playing 17 minutes, scoring four points and grabbing three rebounds while Parker added two points in eight minutes.

While most of the Vols players have been in form during their four-game win streak, Phillips and Parker had been struggling.

Phillips scored just four points combined in the Mississippi State, Kentucky and Kansas State games. Phillips did show signs of life in the Kentucky game with two big steals, however, he played just five minutes in the Kansas State

game and struggled mightily.

Parker on the other hand hadn’t scored a point since the Arkansas game on Jan. 3 before Tuesday night. After playing a combined 10 minutes against Kentucky and Miss. State, Parker didn’t move from his seat on the bench against Kansas State.

Now though, when needed the most, both shined.

“They did an incredible job,” freshman Grant Williams said. “They provided effort defensively, and they got us shots on the offensive end. They did a good job.

“They had been struggling, but they did a good job sticking to their roles and playing for each other and the team.”

The Vols will need both of them to step up on Saturday if they want to keep their win streak going, as they travel to Starkville to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

In their first meeting, the Vols were victorious against the Bulldogs 91-74 in Knoxville. That game led to the Vols’ four-game win streak that they are currently on.

In that game, the Vols were lights-out offensively with four players scoring double digits and senior Robert Hubbs III leading the way with 19 points. The Vols defense was also solid, as they held Quinndary Weatherspoon to just three of eight shooting and 11 points. Weatherspoon is averaging 17.5 points per game.

For the Vols, coming into the game Saturday, they aim to keep improving.

“We have so much more we can do, so much more we can learn,” Williams said. “Our

Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon potential is way higher than what people think.

We’re capable of a lot more; we still have a lot of breakdowns. We just have to maintain. Once we become a good basketball team, I feel like people

will notice us.”

The Vols will tipoff in Starkville, Mississippi, at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and can be seen on the SEC Network.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Nared, DeShields double-doubles help Lady Vols tame Tigers Tyler Wombles Copy Editor

Jaime Nared is a solitary being.

The junior forward showed no fear or apprehension Thursday night, as she led the Lady Volunteers to a first-half advantage over LSU almost entirely on her own.

Nared scored 16 points during the first two quarters, good for nearly half of Tennessee’s 34 first-half points. She was one of only three Lady Vols to score throughout the half, with junior center Mercedes Russell and redshirt senior forward Schaquilla Nunn recording 10 and eight, respectively.

Nared also grabbed six rebounds in the half, a job usually reserved for Russell.

Russell ended the half with just two rebounds. Nared finished the game with a double-double (26 points, 10 rebounds).

“She’s shooting 50 percent. She’s getting great looks. She’s rebounding,” head coach Holly Warlick said. “Jaime’s confidence started this summer, and it starts every day she comes in extra and shoots. I don’t think Jaime thinks about it. I think Jaime goes in and plays the game.

“And when you go in and play the game and have confidence in what you’ve done … It’s a great thing, and I think Jaime is just taking advantage of hard work. She’s mentally focused and got her mind right.”

The rest of Warlick’s squad warmed up considerably during the second half, with junior guard Diamond DeShields recording all of her 15 points during the third and fourth quarters.

But Nared deserves the credit for keeping her team on pace through the first half, while the majority of the team waned.

Nared has arguably been Tennessee’s most valuable player this season, recording numerous double-double performances and

helping lead the team through her consistent play on the court.

“I think my teammates did a great job of feeding me the ball,” Nared said. “I got a lot of easy buckets. There was a lot around the basket. I’ve just been working on it, and I think my teammates did a great job of finding me when I was finally making my layups, because I’ve struggled with that.”

The Lady Vols dominated the last two quarters, never letting up while scoring 43 points throughout the second half to cruise to their 15th win of the year.

“Hey, we found a way to win,” Warlick said. “(LSU is) a tough team. They’re going to match up. They controlled the tempo.

We had to play. Really, really proud of our kids … I thought we stayed solid. They stayed focused. And we got the job done.

Proud of the win, excited for our young ladies.”

Nared’s 26 points led Tennessee, while Russell followed with 18. DeShields also

recorded a double-double, combining her 15 points with 11 rebounds.

Warlick praised Nared, Russell and Deshields, all of whom she said was the team’s “three big players,” as well as Nunn, who finished with 13 points off the bench.

“All three of them were productive, and then you have Schaquilla Nunn coming in, and she benefits from those three being our big three, and our three that we need to look at,” Warlick said. “So she took advantage of it, I think, tonight.”

Having won five of their last six games, including the signature wins against Notre Dame and South Carolina, the Lady Vols are on a hot streak. The victory against LSU gives the team a 6-3 conference record and more momentum as they look toward the remainder of the regular season.

Tennessee will travel to Athens on Sunday, Feb. 5, to face the Georgia Bulldogs.

The matchup will tipoff at 4:00 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN 2.
