Wine bar brings new taste to Old City Jarrod Hall

In the wake of the rising popularity of craft beer, in many circles wine has taken the backseat as the innovative and experimental

While Knoxville’s Old City Wine Bar sports both craft beers and creative cocktails, the bar’s real allure is in the incredibly extensive wine list.

The bar officially opened Monday, Feb. 8, and immediately began serving patrons. Guests

mostly stuck to sampling the basics — Merlot, Tempranillo, Prosecco, Moscato and Pinot Noir — but that is not all that Knoxville’s newest wine bar has on offer. Along with having the widest selection of wine in Knoxville outside of a liquor store, the bar also has charcuterie and cheese plates, and all charcuterie is made

Hunters kill 40 deer, receive lifetime hunting ban Two LaVergne hunters received a life-time hunting ban from Tennessee and 43 other states after poaching at least 40 deer and then taking mocking photos with the slain animals. Densibel Calzada, 23, and Eddy Albert, 21, both received the harshest penalty ever administered by the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency.

Additionally, each had their rifle and crossbow confiscated, both men must perform 100 hours of community service, as well as pay $1,000 each in court costs, $5,000 in restitution.

Evidence obtained from search warrants by the TWRA yielded photos and videos of the abusing the deer they had poached. In one video described as “grotesque” by officers, the two can be seen shooting the head off a deer while it is still alive.

The two also entered guilty pleas in a Rutherford County court after being charged with hunting without permission, hunting out of season, killing deer at night and illegal transportation of wildlife.

Gay-Straight Alliance faces backlash in rural town Nearly 500 people were packed into the Franklin County High School auditorium Monday night in order to witness the fate of a gay-straight alliance club in Winchester, Tennessee. The group, which was formed by through proper school channels, was almost immediatley crticized by the local community before even holding meetings. According to MTV news, local resident John Wimley expressed his fear of the group on Facebook after learning of its creation.

“The next thing you know they will have a F.I.M.A. (Future ISIS Members of America),” Wimley said online.

Protestors lined the streets outside both in support and against the group, many of them waving confederate or christian flags in opposition to the group’s creation. Explaining that the group was in part created as a result of bullying in the school, freshman Kevin Hamrick, along with other GSA members at the school, expressed solidarity in the group. “You can take us down. You can take our signs down. You can take the tears out of our eyes. But we still have a legal right to keep meeting,” said Hamrick. The fate of the club was pushed back by to March as the Board of Education reviews their policies pertaining to extracurricular activities.

Multi state investigation addresses Durham scandal Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery told reporters Tuesday his team is already looking into sexual harassment allegations against Rep. Jeremy Durham, who is accused of sending inappropriate text messages to female workers.

A Monday ad hoc committee gave Slatery the go ahead to investigate the Durham case while also providing him with subpoena powers. The Attorney General declined to comment whether he had been in contact with the unnamed women, but left open the possibility that Durham could be expelled from the chamber if found guilty. Slatery did not give a definite timeline as to how long the investigation may go on. “We don’t think it helps the state at all to lengthen an investigation, but at the same time, we need to be thorough,” saod Slattery in an interview with the Tennessean. Durham resigned his position as House Majority Whip and from the House caucus last month, and is currently on a two week leave of absence.

UT athletes, administration face sexual assault lawsuit Alahnah Ligon

Assistant News Editor Six women filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday claiming the University of Tennessee has violated Title IX laws, creating a hostile environment for female students.

The lawsuit, filed by six “Jane Doe” plaintiffs, accused five Tennessee athletes of sexual assault. Former basketball player Yemi Makanjuola, former football players A.J. Johnson, Michael Williams, Riyahd Jones and a current football player named as a “John Doe” are part of those accused.

Former players Johnson and Williams were named as suspects in a forcible rape case in mid-November last year. The two were temporarily suspended from all teamrelated activities.

Over a dozen incidents involving football players including underage drinking, sexual harassment, assault, armed robbery and sexual assaults not involving the Jane Doe plaintiffs were also cited in the lawsuit.

Title IX laws are intended to prevent gender discrimination on campus, but according to the lawsuit, the university violates these laws and permits poor behavior from its athletes through a biased legal adjudication process that starts with UT administration.

“UT administration (Chancellor Jimmy Cheek), athletic department (Vice Chancellor and Athletics Director) Dave Hart and football coach (Butch Jones) were personally aware (as ‘appropriate persons’ under Title IX) and had actual notice of previous sexual assaults and rapes by football players, yet acted with

deliberate indifference to the serious risks of sexual assaults and failed to take corrective actions,” the lawsuit reads.

Bill Ramsey, Counsel for the University of Tennessee, released several statements in response to the lawsuit Tuesday.

“In the situations identified in the lawsuit filed today, the University acted lawfully and in good faith, and we expect a court to agree. Any assertion that we do not take sexual assault seriously enough is simply not true,” Ramsey said. “To claim that we have allowed a culture to exist contrary to our institutional commitment to providing a safe environment for our students or that we do not support those who report sexual assault is just false.”

Ramsey said the university looks forward to responding to the lawsuit and “doing so at the appropriate time and in the proper manner.”

Pilot Flying J under fraud investigation Staff Report

An almost decade-long investigation into fraud practices by Pilot Flying J, a Knoxvillebased truck stop company, culminated in the federal indictment of eight employees Tuesday evening, including the former Pilot president Mark Hazelwood.

The 14 count indictment includes conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud in a scheme to defraud small trucking companies from their rebate money. Hazelwood was also arraigned on charges of witness tampering.

Notably absent from the list of indictments is Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam, brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.

Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Cleveland Browns and one of the richest men in Tennessee, repeatedly denied any wrongdoing on his part, yet it remains unclear to what extent he was involved with the fraud scheme.

FBI investigators found that the Pilot Corporation deliberately targeted smaller trucking companies to withhold rebate money from. 11 trucking companies are specifically named in the indictment, including

one in Rockford, TN, as well as in Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, Missouri and several other states.

Using wire taps, FBI investigators gathered audio evidence of Hazelwood planning to expand the fraud scheme, as he reportedly claimed in 2012 that “We’re all going to be winners for 2013,” in reference to the illegal activity.

An April 11 trial date was set, yet prosecutors maintain that it will likely be delayed due to the volume of evidence. Ten of the former Pilot employees have already pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.

Pilot Flying J is the largest provider of over-the-road diesel fuel in the United States.

With over 550 locations around the country, it is the third largest franchiser of quick service restaurants in the nation. Founded in 1993 after a joint venture between the Pilot Corporation and Marathon Petroleum Company, the company’s corporate office is based in Knoxville.

The FBI affidavit filed in 2013 alleged that Jimmy Haslam may have known about fraudulent practices within his company.

Pilot has been sued more than 30 times and has paid $85 million in settlements to trucking companies for past offenses.

Lecture addresses college racism Tucker Shull

Contributor In 2015, racial issues on college campuses dominated the national media.

From Mizzou to Princeton to Yale, student activists fought against what they saw as a biased and unresponsive system of higher education, while opponents pointed to a politically correct culture as the main culprit for student dissatisfaction.

Lawrence Ross’s lecture, “Know Better, Do Better: College, Racism and You,” aims to take part in this national dialouge.

Ross, who has written “Blackballed: The Black and White Politics of Race on America’s Campuses,” will give a talk that emphasizes the racial injustices that took place throughout the history of higher learning.

Ross will share with students how to best combat racism when they come across it.

“Know Better, Do Better” is being sponsored by an array of UT organizations, including the Black Student Union, the Central Program Council, the Center for Leadership and Service, the Office of Multicultural Student Life and more.

Tenea Lowery, the assistant director for

the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life, discussed why she believed it was important for her organization to cosponsor this lecture.

“As we support our students in enhancing their personal development, it helps enhance their holistic experience in being students here at the university,” Lowery said.

The Office of the Dean of Students is also cosponsoring “Know Better, Do Better,” and Associate Dean of Students Danny Glassmann is similarly enthusiastic for it.

Glassmann affirmed the importance of knowing the historical background of campus racism and said this is an event that would be relevant to a wide audience.

“Students, faculty and staff, really any community members who attend this event, will learn more about and be able to critically think about racism on college campuses,” Glassmann said.

Glassmann says his organization is involved with the event “to make sure we’re showing our support for this really critical conversation that we need to have here and is being had across the country.”

“Know Better, Do Better: College, Racism and You” takes place in Cox Auditorium on Feb. 10. and begins at 7 p.m. The doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Nonprofit helps students stay safe while studying abroad Alex Harward

Contributor Over half a million American students travel outside the U.S. every year.

For Allen and Sheryl Hill, sending their teenage son abroad on an educational immersion program seemed like a great way to give him the trip of a lifetime.

However, everything changed when Tyler Hill passed away while abroad in Japan.

In 2010, Sheryl and her husband founded the ClearCause Foundation in honor of their son, as well as every young American who has died needlessly while traveling abroad.

Lauren Seagren, a publicist for the ClearCause Foundation, explained that the foundation wants to raise awareness for anyone going abroad to do so safely.

“Our main objective is for every youth and student going abroad to have safe, rewarding experiences in an industry held to the highest standards with zero preventable deaths and injuries,” Seagren said.

Study abroad may be one of the most enticing opportunities for college students. Given the amount of planning and budgeting, however, students can often overlook the necessary safety

concerns that led to the Hills’ son’s untimely death.

“Studying abroad is an awesome opportunity, until it’s not,” Sheryl said. “One death is one too many. We need to make sure that there is a standardized education plan so that all students can depart smart.”

Sheryl explained that one of the major factors of studying abroad is being well informed and prepared before one steps foot in another country.

“We don’t teach our kids what they need to know for country specific information to keep them safe and that needs to change,” Sheryl said.

“Every year we lose people just because they are not well informed.”

As an organization created to ensure safety for students in strange environments, ClearCause sets itself up to answer questions that many students may not have thought to ask: Would a student know how to call for help in a foreign country? Would the language barriers deter them from getting the appropriate assistance? Is it worth it to invest in an international data plan?

“A big change needs to happen,” Sheryl said. “Every American needs to know that it’s important to have emergency contacts, power of attorney, appropriate insurance, how to dial 911 and the proper registration for their trip.”

The ClearCause Foundation is currently in the process of setting up a new module and action plan known as the Safe Journey Academy.

The foundations’ website states: “Safe Journey Academy, will become the first standardized, third party, online education helping travelers, particularly students and faculty, depart smart.”

Safe Journey Academy plans to incorporates interactive modules such as an action plan, country specific information, program selection, health and wellness, travel insurance, housing, communications and money and security in the near future, but these modules still require more funding before they can be implemented.

Sheryl explained that once they are up and running, students can learn on their own and make informed decisions about program selection.

“Students will be able to identify and understand risks,” Sheryl said. “And most importantly, to independently report to the teachers themselves if something bad happens abroad.”

Students at UT are encouraged by the Programs Abroad Office to consider priorities such as personal goals, academics, locations, timing and finances before making an informed decision about studying abroad.

UT’s Programs Abroad website offers many

links to students considering the option of studying abroad. There are links for travel planning such as the Student Travel Association, International Student Identity Card and CheapFlights.

There is also travel information, such as information about other countries, a currency converter, world time zones and the State Department’s Students Abroad.

As unfortunate as Tyler’s story may be, not every student’s experience is a tragic one.

Hannah Fair, senior in economics and international business, spent eight weeks studying in France during the summer of 2015.

“As cliché as it sounds, study abroad was one of my best college memories,” Fair said. “Being able to completely submerse [sic] yourself into a different culture and learn a totally different way of approaching life is a wonderful, but difficult, thing to do.”

ClearCause and UT’s Programs Abroad both advocate for the safety of students as the number one priority when studying in a foreign country.

“I know a lot of students go abroad and have a great time,” Sheryl said. “But they were lucky, not safe.”

Campus groups unite to educate student voters

Mariah Bowers

Contributor

With the Tennessee primaries only a few weeks away, not much time is left to study up on candidates and voter issues before taking part in the statewide candidate selection process.

In an effort to provide students with the voting information they need, Pi Sigma Alpha partnered with Baker Ambassadors and SGA Government Affairs to organize Voterpalooza.

Voterpalooza is the first candidate fair of its kind on campus and will bring together a diverse mixture of candidate representatives and issue groups with the common goal of informing student voters.

The voter fair will begin with open tabling in the rotunda where attendees are encouraged to use the informal time to engage with the many issue groups that will be at their disposal. These include Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Heather True Foundation: Organ Donation, League of Women Voters, College Dems, Roosevelt UTK, SEAT, Young Americans for Freedom, the Feminist Alliance and College Republicans.

Pi Sigma Alpha has invited these issue groups to make scorecards rating candidates on the specific voter topics that are important to their organization.

Laura Hirt, chairman of UT’s chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, is planning to use the scorecard to rate candidates on conservative voter issues such as gun rights and tax plans.

“Every single candidate has at least one topic that they’re more conservative about than someone else is, even with Democrats,” Hirt said.

“Having a dialogue with an issue group about a candidate is a lot more exciting, because we can look at a candidate for each of their different values and what they stand for instead of just blindly following one candidate because they’re our person.”

The night will wrap up with a panel discussion moderated by political science professor Anthony Nownes that will give candidate representatives an opportunity to familiarize attendees with the candidate platforms.

Miranda Gottlieb, president of UT’s chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, ensures that the panel will be less of a debate and instead be more focused on encouraging student voters to ask questions about issues that matter to them.

“We’ve had a decreasing number of participation in the 18 to 24 age range,” Gottlieb said. “So we just really want to get students registered, get them excited about the primaries and make sure they become lifetime voters. No more voting apathy is the goal.”

Central Flats and Taps brings beers and bromance to Knoxville JoAnna Brooker Contributor

For the uncoupled gentleman on this upcoming holiday, there is no better place to celebrate male camaraderie than Central Flats and Taps.

Central is located past the Old City in North Knoxville, with limited street parking.

Central describes itself as a “cozy drinking spot, featuring Tennessee craft beers and whiskeys, pizzas and NFL games on big screens.” In other words, perfect for a bro’s night out.

As compared to my previous experience with a “cozy” restaurant, Central was hardly as cramped upon entry. In fact, the space was very open, with two main bar areas. I chose to sit in the smaller of the two.

After seating myself, I was approached by a bartender who asked me if I would be eating or drinking. I told him just eating, and because it was happy hour, settled for a simple plate of potato chips and ranch, which was delicious, if simple.

However, if I had been looking for a full meal, the menu laid out the options plain

and simple: starters, salads, flats and paninis (plus the essential bar food staple – wings).

I decided to taste these options another day, although the buffalo chicken and the chupacabra flats caught my eye.

As I ate, I took in my surroundings. The walls were lined with flat screen TVs and interesting artwork. Sports Center was playing on two out of the three TVs in my area, at full volume. The decor was dark, the walls painted in neutral earth tones. The music was decidedly alternative (think The White Stripes or Franz Ferdinand).

In my room in particular, there were even exposed wood beams in the ceiling. The whole atmosphere struck me as if a logger’s cabin was turned into a bar.

Upon further observation, I saw mostly groups of men around me. There were maybe two couples in the entire place, and at nearly every table beer was the beverage of choice.

Unfortunately, I was unable to try any beer, but from my observations, Central Flats and Taps’ draft selection is both extensive and reasonably priced. There did not appear to be any defined waiters that night, but the bartender who helped me was extremely attentive. After I finished my appetizer, I left

Ex-bodyguard charged with stalking Paltrow Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A jury hearing a case against an Ohio man charged with stalking Gwyneth Paltrow heard testimony Tuesday about pornographic messages and sex toys he sent her earlier in her career.

Paltrow’s former bodyguard Dennis Bridwell read some of the explicit messages he said were sent by Dante Soiu to the Oscarwinner roughly 17 years ago.

Lynda Westlund, an attorney for the 66-yearold Soiu, repeatedly objected to Bridwell’s testimony about the items that were part of the previous case that resulted in Soiu being sent to a mental institution for several years.

The current case focuses on Soiu’s recent messages to Paltrow. He is accused of sending Paltrow 66 letters and packages between 2009 and 2015, with some containing messages about religion, his desire to marry her and her death.

He has pleaded not guilty to felony stalking.

Westlund described him in her opening statement as a Christian who wrote repeatedly to Paltrow in an attempt to minister to her.

Westlund argued outside the presence of the jury that the older messages — which

described sexual fantasies involving Paltrow and various sex toys sent to her — were too prejudicial.

“They’re hand-picked for super damaging content,” Westlund argued. “It’s just purely being offered for inflammatory reasons.”

Judge Mark E. Windham ruled the messages might add context for jurors to understand Paltrow’s fear of Soiu.

“That’s why it’s all the more disturbing that these letters were sent,” Windham said about the more recent messages.

Westlund characterized Soiu’s recent writings to Paltrow as “biblical and religious ramblings.”

The testimony came during the second day of Soiu’s trial. Bridwell is one of the final prosecution witnesses.

Paltrow cried Monday when a prosecutor asked her whether Soiu’s writings made her fear for the safety of her children. She also told jurors she was upset when she learned in 2009 that Soiu was writing her again.

Soiu was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2000 in the previous case involving pornographic messages to Paltrow. He was sent to a mental institution then re-arrested last year after sending the actress new correspondence.

my cash on the table and left without a fuss.

The secret to Central’s success is in its simplicity; it is a place for those who love beer with simple accompaniments. The menu is well priced, and the area is well equipped for those who want to stay awhile. I would recommend celebrating any bromance here this weekend.

“

Letter to the Editor: I support Hillary When I say that I support Hillary Clinton, I’m often met with exasperated looks. There is obviously a pervasive dislike for the former Secretary of State among young people, although few can really seem to tell me why. Some claim she’s influenced by money, others rattle off the numerous scandals in which she has been involved. Many just think she’s dishonest. None of these answers, however, quite satisfy me.

The false accusations about Clinton’s character and intentions are ones that I simply cannot understand.

When I look at Hillary Clinton, I don’t see a liar trying to advance herself politically. I see a woman who has dedicated her entire life to public service.

A brilliant lawyer, she could have chosen to work at any law firm, but she chose to work for the Children’s Defense Fund. During that time, she went undercover to investigate illegally segregated schools in Alabama.

As First Lady, she could have played the typical role of presidential wife, but instead she fought tooth and nail for a universal healthcare system. When those efforts failed, she could have given up, but instead she fought to establish the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which extended health insurance to over eight million kids. Everyone remembers the groundbreaking speech on women’s rights she delivered in Beijing in 1995, at a time when it was not common to

What inspires me is not the fact that she is a women. It’s what she has done in spite of the social disadvantages of being a woman.”

What’s the deal with period panties?

Summer Awad Quite Contrary

I never thought a pair of panties could change my life.

One day, cramping, bloated and unhappy, I texted my friend and said something to the effect of, “How cool would it be if they just made panties that absorbed period blood?” She texted back to tell me those already existed and sent me the link to the website for Thinx, the super-absorbent new panties that are becoming increasingly popular among young people with periods. I was incredibly excited about this new product and angry that I didn’t invent it first, but I immediately got to shopping on their website.

Although I was mostly optimistic about the idea, I was still afraid the concept wouldn’t be much different from adult diapers. But, I was pleasantly surprised.

Thinx underwear come in different shapes, sizes, colors and absorbencies, and they even have lace and sexy form-fitting designs. I found myself thinking something I’ve never thought before in my life: I can’t wait until my next period.

So far, I have loved Thinx even more than I thought I would. Even though they cost about $34 per pair, they save a lot of money on pads and tampons in the long run. What’s more important, they make me feel much more confident and sexy when I’m on my period. I don’t feel like I’m wearing a diaper, and I’m not self-conscious about the smell. I feel like my period is a normal part of my body that doesn’t require special equipment to deal with. Plus, I’m being environmentally conscious by not throwing away tons of paper products. It’s a win all around, right?

Well, not so fast. One problem I have with Thinx is the company’s gender essentialist rhetoric. What I mean by that is, they advertise their products as if only women have periods and associate their product with femininity. Although Thinx has answered the call for more trans-inclusive branding by creating a genderneutral boyshorts product and affirming trans men on their website, the website’s URL is still “shethinx. com” and the main page still advertises the product as “Underwear for Women with Periods.” Thinx needs to get with the program and affirm trans people across the board, rather than just providing a footnote to appease what they clearly view as an unimportant minority of their consumer base.

My other main problem with Thinx is the classism and white saviorism of the product and company.

Thinx are expensive; I am extremely privileged to be able to buy them. However, for poor people, it’s much easier to take $4 out of their small paycheck for a pack of pads, rather than making a long-term investment in some fancy absorbent underwear. Thinx needs to look into making their product more accessible across class lines. Hopefully, as demand increases, Thinx will become more affordable.

Another problem is what the Thinx website calls the “Power of Purchase.” The concept is similar to Toms. You buy a pair of Thinx, and they send money to a company called AFRIpads, which supposedly trains women in Uganda to make affordable cloth pads that will allow young girls to stay in school. That sounds cool, right?

VIEWPOINTS politician seeking only to get ahead. She has been a leading voice in human rights issues since the start of her career.

The idea of electing the first woman president of the United States is exciting to me. This, for some reason, is also an unpopular sentiment. The majority of us, hopefully, are past saying that a woman cannot be a good president. Instead, there seems to be a feeling that since we have made great advancements towards gender equality, that we should not be inspired by the idea of electing a woman to the highest office. That if we are truly acceptant of women, we should see their accomplishments as ordinary. While I do hope that we reach that point someday, we are not there yet. Hillary Clinton has met many more obstacles throughout her life than her male counterparts. For a woman to do as she has done in politics is astounding, and for that she deserves credit. What inspires me is not the fact that she is a woman. It’s what she has done in spite of the social disadvantages of being a woman. I can’t wait to see her, as she says, “shatter the glass ceiling” once and for all.

But this system plays into the narrative that periods are keeping young girls out of school, rather than other issues of systematic sexism. In fact, research has shown that young girls in Nepal only miss about a third of a day per year due to menstruation. The researchers from that study have criticized the “menstruation theory” regarding poor countries, saying “ part of the appeal of (the menstruation) explanation is that the fix is so easy. There is no need to change attitudes about female schooling, to provide funds for uniforms or textbooks or to construct new schools closer to girls’ homes; instead, the menstruation theory suggests simply providing sanitary products could significantly affect the education gap.”

I think they’re right; we need to look deeper into the true causes behind the gender-schooling gap and stop trying to throw Band-Aids (or cloth pads, in this case) at the problem. As Anna North commented in a Jezebel article, “It’s a little ethnocentric to assume that those in developing countries just haven’t figured out how to deal with their periods and need special Western ‘education.’”

Overall, I love Thinx. I will go so far as to say these panties have improved my quality of life. However, we need to push companies such as Thinx to be trans inclusive and to embrace intersectional feminism, so that all people with periods can be equally empowered.

Beyoncé speaks out through song

Maria Smith Bleeding Orange, Being Different

Thank you, Beyoncé, for making a Black Lives Matter statement with your latest single, “Formation.”

Not only is it a choreographer’s dream musical arrangement, it is also a strategically and wonderfully made anthem delivered right on time.

Anyone who knows me well enough can defend the fact that I love myself some Bey, yet that is not the only reason why I am swelled with admiration and pride. It is simply pivotal that Beyoncé, an international icon, made a move like this. In a country where pop culture, racism and colorism reign supreme, Beyoncé’s actions are close to iconic — but it’s almost like you have to have a sixth sense to be able to really understand it (or just identify with it at all).

Even though there are always events happening behind closed doors, the ways of our society’s corrupt system, in my opinion, did not fully open the eyes of my generation until the murders of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. It was during these media narrated events that many of us actually saw what happens when you step out into reality, where no promising future, potential or continuous good deeds can change an ignorant mindset based on the visual intake of pigmentation and stereotypes. It was these events that got many of us to start thinking about how we see ourselves and how we want to be perceived.

In Beyoncé’s new song, “Formation,” she not only touches on perception, but essentially praises it, whether it fits her exact appearance or not. She acknowledges her own cultural roots but compliments those of others that typically get frowned on by juxtaposing each reference with a pop culture “trend.” For example, the songstress says that she likes her baby hairs with an afro and her “negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils.”

In a sense, the whole song can be seen as eye opening and ironic because you have this flawless, upperclass figure admitting and embracing everything that she is expected to do away with since she has reached a status often depicted outside of her cultural range.

She even states the fast fact of her keeping hot sauce in her bag, and I couldn’t be more proud. Despite the catchiness of the song, there is a deeper message being sent out to all people of color that everyone should be paying attention to.

In basic terms, “Formation” embraces diversity by focusing on ethnically specific aspects that are typically used for stereotypes and turning them into a praise anthem. Although she is particularly focusing on the black race, there is a unanimous message of embracing who you are, what you have and what you do to all persons who do not identify with the majority.

11

She hints to the perseverance that even she, as a successfully fair-skinned black woman, still has to embody to get what she deserves. If that alone does not speak volumes to the masses, I don’t know what else to say.

So why is this so amazing? Beyoncé, a person who benefits from her wealth and features, has contributed to the movement by saying that no matter how whitely privileged she may be perceived, she is still apart of this cultural community of people who are being killed with no explanation, noted as stereotypes instead of as individuals and all around receiving little or no amount of the full respect they deserve. Instead of sweeping issues under the rug with a get-rich-quick scheme, she is creating bodies of work that identify with the voiceless to get them heard.

This just goes to show that the issues of diversity do not have a financial limit. Instead, they are heard and felt by various people, even your number one idol.

So if the bigger issues going on around us can even be seen by a luxurious superstar, why can’t us common folk see how those big issues create our “small” issues on this campus? We must Bey better.

What does it mean to be smart?

Elle Johnson

I Learned Something Today

Twenty years ago today, Deep Blue, a chessplaying computer developed by IBM, beat the then world champion of chess in a game for the very first time, setting a pathway to later become the first piece of artificial intelligence to ever beat a reigning world champion at a chess match under standard regulations.

The more you know. Thanks, Wikipedia!

Garry Kasparov, Deep Blue’s human competitor, almost immediately accused IBM of cheating after his match loss, citing that he saw “deep intelligence and creativity” in several of the computer’s moves that must have been due to human interference. In other words, he thought that Deep Blue was just too smart to be completely artificial.

I’m not here to accuse nor dismiss IBM of cheating in this now two decade-old debate, but I am intrigued by Kasparov’s defense. Where 20 years ago, it seemed unfair to think that computers could hold any sort of real intelligence, we now live in an era where our shelves are lined with smart phones, smart televisions and smart watches among the like.

I even recall hearing about the development of smart pants a few months back.

While I can admit that technology certainly has boomed in development over the past 20 years, I’m not sure I agree that we have jumped the boundary from “not smart” to “smart” technology in that span of time. It all leads me to consider, what does it mean to be smart?

In college, we have a tendency to judge smartness based on academic performance. There are those who score at the top percent on every exam. Others

are able to produce great papers with great fluidity and clarity. I think we all can recall a moment of stage fright when having to give a presentation, but there are some that definitely have a certain skill at giving their spiel with confidence and ease.

But wait, there’s more! What about those with amazing personal skills, striking up conversations with strangers any chance they get? We all have that friend who could probably survive in the woods for a month with nothing but the clothes on their back, or those with special talents, such as dancing, singing, playing a sport and learning a language, among so many others. Wouldn’t they be considered smart, as well?

We love definitive answers, but when it comes to what qualities smartness entails, the answer truly is all of the above.

In 1983, developmental psychologist Howard Gardner proposed an eight criteria system to determine intelligent behavior that is still used today.

• Visual-Spatial: visualizing with the mind’s eye • Bodily-Kinesthetic: using the body effectively • Musical-rhythmic and harmonic: showing sensitivity to rhythm and sound • Interpersonal: understanding and interacting with others • Intrapersonal: understanding your own interests and goals

• Verbal-linguistic: using words and languages effectively • Logical-mathematical thinking conceptually and abstractly through reason and logic • Naturalistic: ability to recognize and use elements of the natural world

By Gardner’s criteria, all humans are smart.

There’s no question about it. However, as we are all unique individuals, we vary in intelligence not by overall quantity or quality but rather by high aptitudes in certain areas and weak spots in others.

I think we can all agree that sometimes, we can’t help but compare ourselves unfavorably to others when we perform poorly at any task or are simply outshined by someone else. However, it’s important to remember that smartness, intelligence and selfworth are never a one-trick pony with a short definition. We all have our unique skills that weigh into the depth of who we are, and trust me when I say that the world would be completely boring without the special contributions of each and every individual on this planet. We’re all very much worthwhile.

I hate to say it, Deep Blue, but you’re not that smart after all. Humans, however, certainly are — in more ways than one.

Judge, not armchair ‘Serial’ detectives, to decide retrial Associated Press

The American Institute of Architecture Students gives out free Toaster Strudels in the Art + Architecture Building.

Mary Kate Leitch • The Daily Beacon

BALTIMORE— Prompted by a podcast that turned millions of listeners into armchair detectives, a judge will now decide whether to grant a new trial to a man convicted as a teenager of murdering his high school girlfriend.

A defense lawyer argued Tuesday that evidence brought to light by the “Serial� podcast and presented in court shows Adnan Syed had an unfair trial after the 1999 strangling death of Hae Min Lee. “We proved our case. We did exactly what we said we would. I believe we met our burden and that Mr. Syed deserves a new trial,� defense attorney Justin Brown told Judge Martin Welch.

Brown cited numerous issues raised by the podcast, such as a key alibi witness who was never called and some cellphone data misrepresented as reliably linking his client to the crime scene.

Deputy Attorney General Thiru Vignarajah countered that the evidence remains “overwhelming� that Syed was properly convicted and sentenced to life in prison for killing Lee and burying her body in a wooded park on the northwestern edge of Baltimore. “This is not a popular position, but the state’s role is to do justice,� the prosecutor said.

He acknowledged the interest generated by “Serial,� a public radio podcast that extensively reexamined the long-closed case, but told the judge that Syed had a “passionate, vigorous defense� at trial, and was convicted not because of ineffective

counsel or faulty evidence, but because â&#x20AC;&#x153;he did it.â&#x20AC;?

Brown said cell tower data linking Syed to Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burial site was misleading because prosecutors presented it without a cover sheet warning that the information about incoming calls was unreliable.

Moreover, Brown said Syedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial lawyer, Christina Gutierrez, was ineffective because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contact Asia McClain, now Asia Chapman, who said Syed was with her at a public library during the time Lee was killed. She took the stand this time, vouched for Syed, and accused a prosecutor of twisting her words years ago to keep her away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A mistake was made not to talk to an alibi witness who could have turned this trial around,â&#x20AC;?

Brown later told the judge, calling her â&#x20AC;&#x153;earnest,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;compellingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely credible.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Mr. Syed was with Ms. McClain at the library on Jan. 12, 1999, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kill Hae Min Lee. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have,â&#x20AC;? Brown concluded.

The prosecutor countered that a pair of letters Chapman sent to Syed shortly after his arrest contained information that must have been funneled to her in a failed effort to construct Syedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alibi. He said records show Gutierrez had in fact investigated her, and determined that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asia McClain wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a weapon for the defense; she was a potential weakness.â&#x20AC;? Vignarajah also presented to the judge a document showing that Syedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense attorneys interviewed a security officer at the Woodlawn Public Library three days after Syedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest, proving that his defense team was pursuing the possible library alibi.

WINE BAR continued from Page 1 “This is my neighborhood. I’ve lived here for six plus years now, and I used to play music professionally in Knoxville,” Boyd shared. “I’ve seen this neighborhood kind of go downhill over the past few years, and I just wanted to open a business that would make this area better.”

Boyd’s father is the owner of Boyd’s Jig and Reel next door, and their family owns a winery in Argentina. Boyd boasts a long family history in the wine business.

In addition to their extensive wine collection and fresh-made plates, the bar strives to provide customers with an atmosphere to match. The walls are a mix of hand-painted murals and polished tin ceiling tiles, while on the ceiling hangs a series of four fans strung together with exposed belts. Downstairs is the large wine

cellar, with open space in the middle to accommodate a massive conference table.

The sommelier, Matt Burk, says that his goal in putting together the wine list was not only to compliment the food menu but also to provide unfamiliar wines that possess familiar flavors.

“The goal was to provide everybody with wines that, on the one hand, maybe they’ve never heard of before, but on the other hand, they’re going to be comfortable with once they try them,” Burk said.

The wine by the glass menu is highly varied and is organized into lists of well-known grapes and lists of less-known types of wine. For example, underneath red wine one can find Pinot Grigio and Merlot, but under a separate list, there are the red wines Tempranillo and Nebbiolo.

Even among the more commonplace wines, Burk said that he wanted to steer away from most of the popular brands and bring something to people that they have not tasted before.

Vols beat Auburn with double-digit lead Troy Provost-Heron Training Editor

Tennessee’s defense finished two minutes, 57 seconds away from hanging a new all-time low in the UT record book.

The Vols held Auburn to 23.7 percent shooting (14-for-59), 1.6 percent above the lowest field goal percentage by an opponent in ThompsonBoling Arena, en route to a 71-45 drubbing of the Tigers to spoil Auburn coach Bruce Pearl’s second return to Knoxville on Tuesday.

“We really wanted to defend the three-point line,” UT coach Rick Barnes said. “They’ve got guys that have lit us up and we felt they had a couple of guards that could go and get seven or eight threes apiece and we didn’t want to let that happen.

“I thought our inside defense was pretty good. We got lucky on a couple of them there where they missed shots around the rim, but for the most part I thought our guys did a really

good job of trying to execute the game plan.”

The defensive mindset started before the game even tipped off when Barnes elected to give freshman guard Shembari Phillips his first career start for defensive reasons.

The move paid off immediately as Auburn (9-14, 3-8 SEC) missed their first seven shots of the contest and failed to score until the 13:52 mark of the opening period.

“I feel like we were all taking (on defense),” Phillips said. “We were all on one string tonight.”

In that span, the Vols (12-12, 5-6), jumped out to a 9-0 lead, the first five coming from Devon Baulkman, who entered the game in a shooting slump.

Over UT’s last six games, the senior guard has shot 21.9 percent (7-for-32) and his minutes have dwindled from as many as 29 minutes at the start of the slump to 13 minutes in the Vols’ 85-67 loss to Arkansas on Saturday.

“It’s been really tough and it’s kind of annoying because you put so much work in and your shot doesn’t fall,” Baulkman said. “Once I see the

shot going in my confidence goes up.”

Baulkman finished with 14 points to go along with a game-high 20 points from junior guard Robert Hubbs III. Bryce Brown was Auburn’s lone scorer in double figures with 18 points.

“I had to just bring a little energy off the bench,” Hubbs said. “We had a team meeting Sunday, and I just had to step up. My teammates agreed with me. I haven’t been contributing like I should, so I had to get out here tonight and just do that.”

The 13 seconds the game was tied at 0-0 before Baulkman’s mid-range jumper was the only time the Vols didn’t lead in the contest.

Auburn managed to pull within one point on three different occasions in the first half, but each time the Vols had an answer. Leading 14-13 with 8:47 left in the opening period, UT went on a 7-0 run to extend its lead to eight.

At halftime, the Vols entered the locker room with a 34-23 lead and 8:38 into the second half they owned a 52-31 lead.

With 3:36 remaining, the lead swelled to 33

points, the largest of the night, before the Tigers’ 7-0 run to close out the game kept them out of the UT record books.

“Our roster was decimated with injuries, ineligibilities, suspensions,” Pearl said. “It’s been tough. You see how challenged we are. But we can play better than that. We can play harder than that.

“That team right now is not competitive.

I’m the one that’s going to be held responsible for that.”

The Vols now turn their attention to Missouri on Saturday where they will look to win consecutive games for the first time since Dec. 22 and Dec. 29, 2015 when they defeated ETSU and Tennessee State.

“I think it’s like a broken record here,” Barnes said. “We’ve talked about it before. We’ve had a good win, and we’ve gone on the road. We haven’t played up to what we think we’re capable of. We’re going to get consistent and it’s going to be as a group. It has got to have everyone playing (a part) in it.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Vols overcome slow night from Punter Taylor White

Asst. Sports Editor After scoring at least 15 points in Tennessee’s last 12 games, Kevin Punter came back down to Earth. The senior scored four points in a season low 19 minutes, spending most of the first half on the bench with two fouls.

The Vols didn’t miss a beat.

Tennessee dismantled Auburn 71-45 on Tuesday night in Thompson-Boiling Arena, despite Punter’s pedestrian game. When coach Rick Barnes was asked if he thought the Vols could win a game when Punter put up those numbers, his answer was short and sweet.

“No,” Barnes said. “I didn’t think that today either. (Auburn) is going through some tough times right now. We know that.

But to answer that question, I didn’t think we could win a game by that margin without him playing 40 minutes.”

Over the last three games Devon Baulkman and Robert Hubbs III have combined for 19 total points. On Tuesday, the

duo had 18 in the first half alone. Baulkman finished with 14, while Hubbs added a game, and career, high 20 points.

Baulkman shot 4-of-10 from behind the 3-point line, while Hubbs was 1-of-1, his first make from behind the arc since Dec. 19 at Gonzaga, as the duo helped to pick up the slack that Punter usually carries.

“We ran a lot of sets for me, just to get me some mismatches around the rim,” Hubbs said. “That worked out. I hit a couple of bank shots and we just kept on going to that. After they keyed in on me, other guys stepped up.”

Punter does more than just score the ball.

A natural two guard, he’s spent his senior season running point for a team without a true point guard.

In his absence the Vols turned to Shembari Phillips to run the offense. The freshman played a career high 31 minutes in his first career start, scoring six points to go along with six boards and one assist. When Punter picked up two fouls in a matter of 30 seconds, Phillips knew he would have to step up.

“We put a lot on (Punter),” Phillips said.

“We just tried to relieve him a little bit. I

came in and just tried to do the best I could.

I’m going to try and continue to get better from here … I watch (Punter) a lot. I’m just going to have to continue to learn to slow down a little bit. I’m getting a lot more comfortable.”

Hot topic: With a 16 point lead midway through the second half, Admiral Schofield pulled down an offensive rebound, put it back up for the lay-up and got fouled. His celebration triggered a frustrated Auburn team.

Armani Moore and Tiger forward Cinmeon Bowers exchanged words, both picking up a technical foul after a lengthy trip to the monitor by the officials. For Moore, this was his second tech of the season.

“Armani is a senior now,” Barnes said.

“You’re going to compete. You’re going to fight. You’re going to say things. That’s not how you go about it … If I’m going to get a technical foul, it’s going to be for trying to block somebody out. He needs to control his emotions, because we need him.

“At some point in time, he’s going to have to look at himself and say, ‘I’ve got to be bigger than that.”

Schofield also picked a technical foul in the chaos, giving Bryce Brown a chance to knock down a pair of free throws with nobody around him. Barnes said the freshman got his tech for a different reason.

“Admiral said that he didn’t say anything,” Barnes said. “He actually said that he just went in to get (Punter) from the pile. (The referees) said the same thing. They don’t think he said anything, but it was just the way he charged into the pile like that.”

Outside the box score: Auburn shot 14-of-59 for the game, good for 23.7 percent from the field. If not for a 7-0 run late in the game, the Tigers would have shattered the record for lowest field goal percentage in a game at Thompson-Boiling Arena of 22.1 percent.

By the numbers: 42: Tennessee’s bench outscored the Auburn bench 42-9, thanks to a 20 point outing from Hubbs.

39: The Vols led the game for 39:47, while Auburn never led. Tennessee scored the first nine points of the game.

24: The Vols outscored Auburn 24-16 in the paint.
