On Wednesday, Tennessee officially welcomed 17 signees and three preferred walk-ons to the Vols’ football program, joining the 10 early enrollees who arrived in January, putting the 2015 class at 30 total members.

Highlighting this class is five-star defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie of Walnut Creek, California, son of former Vol Reggie McKenzie.

When McKenzie committed to play for Tennessee in July of 2014, he quickly adopted the role of peer recruiter, encouraging other high profile players to join him in Knoxville.

The strategy worked.

Butch Jones was able to put together a top-10 recruiting class in 2014, despite only achieving a, 5-7, record on the football field.

After a more successful campaign on the gridiron in his second year, Jones was able to ride the momentum of a winning season leading Tennessee’s 2015 signing class to a consensus top-five ranking for the first time since 2007.

“With this class we had to go coast to coast,” Jones said. “I think we’ve proven that Tennessee is a national brand.

The name on this year’s SGA ballot could be yours.

To prepare any interested candidates for the campaign season just a month away, Jordan Frye, a senior in social work and the SGA Election Commission held an optional interest meeting Tuesday night to go over general election guidelines and to inspire general interest in running for office.

The meeting briefly summarized the updated SGA Election Packet, detailing everything from when candidates can launch their websites to how much money candidates are allowed to spend on their campaigns.

Frye emphasized that a student doesn’t have to be a seasoned campaign veteran to succeed in election season and urged any interested participants to attend the mandatory election meeting on Feb. 19 and run for office.

“Whether you’re with a political party or just running independently, I think the best thing you can do is get out there and get involved if you have the slightest bit of interest,” Frye said.

“You’ll obviously be an asset if you get elected.”

Kelsey Keny, SGA president and senior in journalism and electronic media, said she hopes there will be a more diverse selection of candidates to choose from this year as options have been limited in the past.

“Last year there weren’t a lot of people on the senate ballot, and we want to give people a

chance to vote for who they want to vote for,” Keny said. “We want to fill that ballot as much as we can and get people involved in the democratic process.”

Aimee Kiefer, a sophomore in sociology and a potential candidate, said the reason she attended the meeting and plans to run for office is because she wants to make a difference for UT students.

“I just think there is a lot of good I could do,” Kiefer said. “I love this school, and I love being a part of things.”

Grayson Hawkins, a sophomore in chemistry and math, had similar reasons for running and said he hopes that SGA is the right platform to create meaningful change on campus.

“I see a lot of things that aren’t awesome at UT, and I hope I can change them to create a better environment for students,” Hawkins said.

For Keny, she said her experience as SGA president has provided her the opportunity to do just that. She said she hopes the best candidates will run and take away new skills and unparalleled experiences from their time in SGA. “If you are wondering if you should run for SGA, if you think you are the best person to do this job, you should absolutely run for SGA,” Keny said. “It’s why I decided to run last year, and I’ve learned a lot from it. Not just a nameplate, but I’ve learned to serve UT and work with other people.”

For more information on running for SGA, contact Jordan Frye at jfrye7@vols.utk.edu.

DISPATCHES Insure Tennessee fails in committee

Middle East reacts to murder of Jordanian pilot

State senators shot down Governor Bill Haslam’s proposed health care proposal Wednesday, denying health benefits to hundreds of thousands of low-income residents, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported. The Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted down the proposal, with only four members in favor of the controversial health care plan. Speaker of the House Beth Harwell stated before the vote took place that she did not believe that the measure would pass if it reached the House. The plan would have provided 280,000 low-income Tennessee residents with federally funded health insurance.

The murder of a captured Jordanian pilot by the Islamic State group has brought on a wave of outrage and grief across the Middle East. Political and religious leaders alike have condemned the killing of Lt. Muath Al-Kaseasbeh, a 26-year-old burned alive by Islamic State extremists. Video of the grisly killing was shown on TV channels around the region, causing an outcry from local leaders who denounced the act. While some legal systems in the Middle East condone capital punishment by hanging, stoning or beheading, burning to death is “unheard of in the contemporary Middle East,” the Associated Press reported.

Sleep isn’t for the weak Tayllor Cochrane Contributor

Friends, school or sleep — you may pick two.

For most college students, school and a social life take priority, leaving sleep to fall by the wayside.

Renee Chambers, a pastoral counselor in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, said she spends much of her time counseling high school and college students who often experience the damaging effects of sleep deprivation. In terms of sleeping habits, Chambers said she believes it is important for students to realize that the choices they make today can impact them in the future.

“Sleep is important in any stage of life but especially for college students,” Chambers said. “If you don’t sleep in college, it doesn’t just affect your grades, it can cause major sleeping problems that can affect you after you graduate.”

In Jane Gaultney’s “Medscape Neurology” study on sleep disorders and their effects on academic performance of college students, results Information from The Tartan showed that students in Graphic by Dillon Canfield • The Daily Beacon this category often develop disorders like insomnia and narcolepsy as a result Getting at least five hours of sleep a of neglecting sleep.

SLEEP continued from Page 3 “I feel like I always have somewhere I need to be or an assignment I need to be doing,” Cline said. “And at the end of the day when I do have time to sleep, it’s hard to slow down after going all day long.”

Wade Scofield, a graduate student at SMU Dedman School of Law who attended UT as an undergraduate, said his first years of college were particularly difficult to manage without sacrificing sleep. Scofield said he got the least amount of sleep as a freshman, a behavior that reflected in his grades.

“Over the years I learned that the more I slept the better I did in school,”Scofield said.

Beyond just academic reasons, Scofield maintained that his overall attitude improves as well when he gets sufficient sleep.

“My girlfriend also says that I am grouchy when I don’t sleep,” Scofield said.

“So, I guess that’s an incentive too.”

The best way to improve sleeping habits, Chambers said, is to set boundaries and learn to best manage your time. Chambers said one of the best ways to regulate sleep is to set a routine sleeping schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same times every day.

If you snooze, you don’t have to lose Five apps to get you on the right REM cycle Heidi Hill Copy Editor “Just five more minutes.”

That voice in your groggy brain murmurs this soothing phrase, convincing you that a few more minutes under a warm swath of blankets is totally worth it.

Before you know it, you have 10 minutes to brush your teeth, put on pants, grab a power bar and rush out to door to make your morning class.

Phone app developers know this struggle is universal and have designed some creative methods to make sure certain the not-soearly birds don’t sleep through every alarm.

1.) Sleep as Android – Made specifically for Android phones, this app ensures that you wake up at the most optimum time in the morning. The app also graphs your sleep habits, and takes note if any sleep deficit is detected. Unlike most sleep apps, Phone as Android can also record snoring or sleep talk if either are areas of concern for the

consumer. Users can also set lullabies to lull them to sleep or create personal playlists, nature sounds or puzzles to wake the heaviest sleepers.

This app starts with a two-week free trial, then requires $3 for an unlock code.

2.) Sleep Cycle for iOS – Considered an Apple equivalent to Sleep as Android, this app operates in the same way -- to wake the user at the most convenient time with natural sounds and alarms. The app analyzes a sleeper during their lightest sleep phase, narrowing the alarm to go off within a 30-minute interval. Users can also track their sleep habits from easy-to-read graphs which account for other factors like caffeine intake, exercise and diet.

This app is available on the App Store for iOS only and costs 99 cents.

3.) Suno – This more “intelligent” app takes advantage of the feature of iPhones and their iOS software. Just before the alarm activates, the app utilizes the screen and flashlight to mimic the rising sun, resulting in a more gradual, pleasant wake up. This will go on for a few minutes until the alarm actually goes off or signals its user to wake up.

This app is available on the App Store for

iOS and costs 99 cents.

4.) Wave Alarm – This “sporty” option for phone alarms requires the user to wave their hands over the screen or front facing camera to turn off their alarms. The app also can change the alarms colors and sounds, so monotony is never a problem for its groggy users. As a bonus feature, Wave Alarm also tracks weather and outside temperature to tell the user the predicted conditions outside for the next two hours.

This app is available for Android and is free for download with a premium version that costs $2.99.

5.) Alarmy (aka Sleep If U Can)– This app is reserved for the chronic alarm snoozers or those bordering on hibernation. To use the app, a user must take pictures of random items around the house and register them in its memory. Once an alarm goes off, the user can only deactivate that alarm by taking pictures as they appear on the screen.

So, buyers beware: your annoying alarm will only stop once you get out of bed and take a few pictures that your phone decides are acceptable.

This app is available for iOS and Android and is free for download with an optional premium version.

If you ain’t getting shots get the [expletive] out the club

Alexandra Chiasson Stained and Confused

Everybody hates shots. Getting a shot is more unpleasant than accidentally swallowing a hair, a moldy Kermit the Frog Chia Pet and entering a room when it is apparent the occupants were just discussing your “weed problem.”

Indeed, there is something grotesque about having someone wearing ugly shoes wipe your forearm, shoulder or buttock with a smelly moist towelette and then shove a needle in. It hurts. It makes you feel violated and vulnerable. The experience can turn infants and toddlers into something out of an H.P. Lovecraft story.

This is why I was confused when I read that so-called “anti-vaxxers,” people who refuse to get their school-aged kids vaccinated, are citing claims that vaccines cause autism and other mental disorders to justify their decisions. “Why aren’t they admitting they just really hate shots?” I wondered.

If you’ve ever been in a doctor’s office while a baby is getting a shot, you know exactly why anti-vaxxers exist. It should probably be a policy that anyone taking an infant in for vaccinations gets to take a shot for each shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has even made a fact sheet called “Tips for a Less Stressful Shot Visit.”

Anti-vaxxers clearly haven’t read the factsheet. (The trick is to bring a blanket that smells familiar. Who knew?) And they obviously haven’t read the fact sheet on measles either. Or, you know, anything else on the CDC website. Because as much as shots make us cringe, cry and complain, we still, like, have to get vaccinated and everything.

It doesn’t seem to register with those who are a part of the anti-vaccine movement that the alternative is getting the kind of diseases people have on “Game of Thrones.”

The news updates on the shot-fearing weirdos are getting more ridiculous everyday, with “science” and “studies” being used without care and politicians openly supporting or condemning these people who are projecting their fear of getting a shot onto their children

and trying to make it seem like they are concerned about “toxins.”

Suddenly becoming America’s familiarsmelling blanket, President Obama recently revealed himself to be a hardass who really doesn’t mind shots. “There is a reason to get vaccinated — there aren’t reasons to not,” he said in an NBC News interview.

But self-proclaimed public health expert, senator and accidental poet Rand Paul hates shots and is making up excuses: “I’ve heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines,” he said in an interview with CNBC, forcing us to wonder if he is perhaps referring to himself.

Rand Paul getting involved is bad news for all of us. First of all, Rand Paul isn’t actually an expert on anything except on how to be a buffoon and not going away when I’m tired of him.

More importantly, the people who currently oppose vaccinations don’t care about what Senator Paul says; he’s tapping into a whole new audience here —dumb people who are probably looking for any excuse to avoid having to hear their baby scream in pain and fury in a room decorated with clown wallpaper.

Shots are terrible, but anti-vaxxers can’t keep living in a delusional circle jerk new age medicine dream world. It simply isn’t sustainable.

And quite frankly, shots are a right of passage. When you deny a child the experience of getting a shot, you are not only putting them at risk to get some nasty looking rashes, but also depriving them the opportunity to participate in an essential part of the human experience: complaining about fleeting pains and comparing BandAid designs.

Get the shots or you simply can’t sit with us.

Black history is your history

Hawa Henderson Real Reflections

It’s February. You know what’s exciting about February? No, not Valentine’s Day — it’s Black History Month.

When I think of Black History Month, I have flashbacks from middle school where my teachers would talk to us about George Washington Carver and how he invented peanut butter, or Frederick Douglass, the famous abolitionist who advocated for slaves. And let’s not forget Martin Luther King, Jr. Whenever Black History Month was mentioned in class, I remember everyone would swivel around to look at the black kids in class as if to say, “This is for you.”

In high school, it was even worse. My high school basically just pretended that Black History Month wasn’t a thing. They skipped right to Valentine’s Day. So now here I am, at a four-year institution of higher education and Black History Month is as non-existent here as it was whenever I was in high school and middle school.

Don’t get me wrong; I am fully aware of the events that will be happening this month, like the Black Issues Conference (which I plan to attend), but we all know who’s hosting and advocating for that event — black people.

For some reason, there’s this widespread idea that Black History Month is only for black people. I mean, to some extent I can guess why people would think that. The

whole reason that we have to have Black History Month is because for centuries, black people were dehumanized and oppressed.

If you were black, you were told you were stupid and incompetent. For hundreds of years, that was engrained into the minds of black people, especially children. We need Black History Month to highlight the achievements of black people in this country despite people telling us we would never achieve anything.

I know this might be hard to believe, but despite what you might have been taught in eighth grade, black history didn’t start with slavery, and it most definitely didn’t end with the abolition of slavery either. In 1976, the U.S. government officially recognized Black History Month.

Black people had already been celebrating black history since the 1920s, but the U.S. government didn’t think it was important enough until the ‘70s. I mean, it’s the least they could do right?

Black history is American history. Black history is your history. This country was built on the backs of black slaves, and American soil is drenched in the blood and tears of black people.

If you live in this country, you are benefiting from the labor of black people. So this month, I challenge you to learn something

“... despite what you might have been taught in eighth grade, black history didn’t start with slavery, and it most definitely didn’t end with the abolition of slavery either.” new about black history. Enlighten yourself — you might be surprised with what you find.

Other uses for a ramen packet We all know the old college joke about having nothing to eat but a 70 cent pack of Instant Ramen is fun to laugh about — until it comes true.

If it hasn’t yet, then it will. It’s usually a dark night, spent burning the midnight oil while cramming for a test or starting a 10-page paper due the next day. Next thing you know, it is midnight on a Tuesday.

Nothing is open, and the only thing you have to eat is that pack of Ramen a stranger gave you one time when you went to The Walk.

Jonathan Burkhalter Kinda-Gourmet

“Instant Ramen is really just the tip of an iceberg of ramen knowledge that has been hidden for decades.”

Instant Ramen is really just the tip of an iceberg of ramen knowledge that has been hidden for decades. The history of ramen and its role in Japanese culture is quite interesting to study, but for your sake I’ll stick to our task of cooking it. Even on the college budget, it is not difficult to make better ramen noodles, for the sake of its history and our lunch.

An easy way to make some kinda-gourmet ramen is to buy a few of the Instant Ramen packs, which might set you back about two dollars. If you’re shopping for groceries, you’re probably picking up a few staple items that every kitchen needs anyway, such as eggs, vegetables, pepper and spices or sauces.

All of these things are great to add into a boiling pot of Instant Ramen noodles for a quick meal that tastes great. Here is a simple recipe for making the most of Instant Ramen.

Let’s start with our ingredients. First, Instant Ramen packs (as many as you would like, but the more noodles you cook the more of everything else you will need). Then vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, lettuce, bean sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and whatever you think might taste good. A few eggs (one egg per ramen block), thinly sliced meat such as chicken or pork and condiments such

as curry paste or powder, miso paste, vinegar, fish sauce and ponzu.

Boil water over the stove. Add Ramen blocks and any pastes or spices. Next add your vegetables. It’s a good idea to hard boil your egg before, so it’s ready to drop into the mix, but eggs can be added in other ways. Cook meat separately, then add into the mix as the noodles begin to soften. Once the noodles are soft, drain the pot and allow for your food to cool. Garnish with Sriracha or any other toppings and enjoy! Using the flavoring packets is optional, I prefer to not.

Save the packets, however, for quick omelets or adding to sour cream to make a dip.

More complicated recipes call for a few special ingredients that might cost a little extra, but could be fun to try. Lucky Peach magazine featured January as Ramen Month, and their blog plays home to several regional recipes such as short ribs with ramen which is a blend of Jamaican and Japanese food.

Potential for ramen is endless, so enjoy being creative with your own recipes.

Gallery 1010 offers creative challenges to artists Savannah Gilman Staff Writer Pint-sized and nestled along the trendier end of Gay Street, Gallery 1010 should be easy to miss.

But the gallery’s weekly showings and never-ending draw make it nearly impossible to ignore. “The little cluster of galleries has a magnetic attraction to people as they are walking by,� Kevin Varney, Gallery 1010 director, said. “It’s right across the street from The Downtown Gallery and The Emporium Gallery. We’re going to try to keep this location as long as possible because it’s been working out so well.�

Gallery 1010, a UT-owned space that features student work, brings art, which would otherwise be stuck on UT’s campus, out to the downtown community. The gallery’s location as well the showing students’ invitations draw a range of art appreciators, from strangers to those who helped the art come to life. “There’s community engagement for people who aren’t involved in the school,�

Brayan Zavala, senior in graphic design, said. “Your show is really a celebration of the stuff you make as family and friends who don’t usually go to art galleries come to support you. You have a chance to show people in your life what’s going on in your art and your life.�

For Zavala, his art allows him to capture

his community, and the gallery gives him the ability to share it with them. “I had a show ‘Too,’ meaning as well, because there’s always so much more than what’s just there. I focused on people in uniform, and as a photographer, I try to get the human connection,� Zavala said. “Through my photography process I got to know new people. Some of them came to my show.�

This space also brings the students together, as Lauren Sanders, senior in studio art, experienced when she recently managed a solo show at the gallery. “(Gallery) 1010 is super challenging,�

Sanders admitted. “It’s not super straight or square. The back walls are higher and the shape of the room is rectangular and narrow. It makes it a challenge to have a show that addresses the whole space. “I started setting up nearly an entire day early and had a number of fellow art students from a number of different schools of art helping me out.�

While the space itself presents challenges, it also offers opportunities for growth as students learn to adapt their ideas to the gallery they’re given. “It’s an arduous process. I really enjoy it because it forces you to get really good documentation of your work,� Sanders said. “It’s a process of sitting down and thinking about what your show means, what your artist statement is. It’s very competitive so you have to be organized, which I appreciate the challenge to reflect on your work and yourself in general.�

Guests look at the art of senior Lauren Sanders at the 1010 Gallery, a UT owned and operated gallery. • Photo courtesy of Scott Hickman

NSD Celebration provides opportunity for fans to learn details about recruiting

Richmond’s late addition ‘completes’ recruiting class

Jonathan Toye Sports Editor (@JonathanToye1) The members in the audience at the Tennessee National Signing Day celebration had barely settled in their seats in the Tennessee Theater on Wednesday night when a video began to play.

If one had to describe the theme of the video in one word, the word would be celebration: a celebration of the past year of Tennessee football and a celebration of a consensus top 5 Tennessee recruiting class.

The video featured revered Tennessee legends such as Peyton Manning, referenced the budding relationship between music star Lil Jon and Tennessee football, and paid tribute to the successful fan initiative that painted Neyland Stadium in an orange and white checkerboard for the Florida game.

After the video concluded, Tennessee playby-play announcer Bob Kesling and head

RECRUITING continued from Page 1 “Kahlil helped us immensely and it was all his doing,” Jones said. “He took great pride in this recruiting class. He forged relationships with every single individual within this recruiting class … You could feel closeness and that bond.”

Jones’ main focus since taking over as head coach is locking down the borders of Tennessee and convincing the state’s top talent to stay home.

This year Jones inked the signature of the top-three players from the state of Tennessee in five-star defensive end Kyle Phillips of Nashville and four-stars, offensive tackle Drew Richmond from Memphis and quarterback Jauan Jennings of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The Vols were able to add nine total in-state players to the roster, capitalizing on the recent influx of high school talent that Tennessee has seen over the past several years.

“We have great high school football in the state of Tennessee,” Jones said. “And we’re gonna start first and foremost with taking care of home, and we were able to do that. That’s extremely gratifying.”

Adding depth to the roster was a primary focus of this recruiting class, and the Vols were especially successful in taking care of needs in the trenches.

Tennessee added six defensive linemen in the 2015 class, and many of them will be expected to contribute immediately.

McKenzie is rated as a top-five prospect in the nation, but he is just the tip of the iceberg for

coach Butch Jones strolled onto the stage.

When addressing the crowd, Kesling reaffirmed the theme of celebration.

“We are here to celebrate after Tennessee turns in a top 5 recruiting class today,” Kesling said. “This Tennessee program, you know, has great momentum: winning four of the last five games and knocking the stew out of Iowa.”

And while the main point of the National Signing Day event at the Tennessee Theater was ostensibly to celebrate Tennessee’s National Signing Day and the Vols coaching staff’s efforts, the event shifted from a celebration to an exposition on recruiting operations.

Jones began the exposition by addressing the coaching staff’s approach to recruiting.

the Vols. Phillips and four-star defensive tackle Shy Tuttle were able to enroll at Tennessee in January, allowing them to compete in spring practice, though Phillips is currently battling a shoulder injury.

The Vols also added a pair of four-star defensive ends in Andrew Butcher and Darrell Taylor, and three-star defensive tackle Quay Picou rounds out the highly-touted class for Tennessee.

“The thing we have been missing from our defense is an overall edge presence,” Jones said.

“If you look at the big bodies in this recruiting class, we wanted length … We wanted to make sure we had that addressed and obviously Kyle Phillips addresses that, Darrell Taylor addresses that.

“Then you look at our size inside with Shy Tuttle and Kahlil McKenzie, those two big defensive tackles, and then you have the quickness from Quay that he’ll bring inside.”

While there was relatively little drama leading up to signing day, Tennessee was able to add one last piece as Richmond flipped to the Vols from his commitment to Ole Miss, putting a 6-foot-5, 310 pound ribbon on the 2015 class.

With a top-five recruiting class comes high expectations, and while there are several players expected to contribute right away, Jones wasted no time pumping the breaks on the newly minted Vol signees.

“These are still 17 and 18 year old individuals,” Jones said. “That still are gonna develop at their own pace, and things don’t get changed overnight. We’re going through a process, but I thought today was a great, great step in the right direction.”

Nathanael Rutherford Staff Writer (@Mr_Rutherford)

The first weekend in February might end up being one the most crucial weekends in Butch Jones’ tenure as head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers.

During the 2014 season, Tennessee’s offensive line drew the heaviest criticisms on the team, and for good reason. The offensive line gave up an SEC-worst 43 sacks on the year.

Jones and his staff looked to address the offensive line in the 2015 recruiting class, and one lineman stood out among the rest in the class for the Vols.

Tennessee hosted several visitors the weekend before National Signing Day, but none were bigger than in-state offensive tackle Drew Richmond. At the time, Richmond was committed to Ole Miss, a commitment he made several months ago and had held firm to despite Tennessee’s best efforts to flip him.

“When Drew committed, we gave him his time,” Butch Jones said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon on National Signing Day. “But we went back because you recruit to the end. The real recruiting process begins once you commit.”

And Jones never did let up, pulling out all the stops for Richmond’s official visit the weekend before National Signing Day. He brought Richmond and the other visitors to the Tennessee-Auburn basketball game on Saturday in front of the biggest crowd at a basketball game this season. Before they left, fans gave Richmond a standing ovation and the student section chanted “We want Richmond” as he saluted them.

The all-out blitz worked.

“The real recruiting process begins once you commit.”

--Butch Jones Wednesday morning, Richmond announced via Twitter that he was signing with the Vols, locking up the top three in-state recruits for the Vols in the 2015 class.

Jones stated that adding Richmond “completed the class,” citing his athleticism and balance as a lineman as some of his top qualities.

But Richmond’s addition goes beyond just the field of play.

Richmond and Jones forged a unique relationship during his recruitment, one Jones says is “one of the top five relationships” he’s had with a student athlete. The two stayed in touch up to 10 minutes before Richmond faxed in his letter of intent, but even then Jones didn’t know Richmond’s intentions.

“He wanted to make me work until the end,” Jones stated. “He called me, thanking me and asked, ‘Will you still love me if I don’t go to the University of Tennessee?’

“I told him love is conditional in certain things.”

But Richmond didn’t have to find out how conditional Jones’s love is. Before lunchtime on National Signing Day, the five-star offensive tackle out of Memphis signed on to become a Vol, joining 28 other recruits in the 2015 signing class.

“We’re really fortunate to have him,” Jones said of his newest offensive lineman. “We are very excited about his future here.”
