Planned Parenthood event sparks counter-protest Libby Dayhuff

Staff Writer An event to support Planned Parenthood and protest its defunding was held on Feb. 11 at the Planned Parenthood-Knoxville Health Center.

The event, “Knoxville Stands with Planned Parenthood,” took place from 11 a.m.—3 p.m.

Approximately 600 supporters gathered on the sidewalk with signs and chanted “Pro-life, that’s a lie. You don’t care if women die,” and “No way. Don’t you dare take away my healthcare.”

There were tables set up to make posters and write postcards to Planned Parenthood staff and legislators. There was also a bake sale and an Instagram booth where people took pictures to show support on social media.

“It’s really hard to get healthcare as a woman, and they have a lot of really important services that should be supported,” Olivia Jackson, a supporter at the event, said.

At 1 p.m., there was a gathering called, “Speak-Out!” where special guests spoke about the organization, staff and their experience with Planned Parenthood.

“I think elected officials and our community are going to take notice. There are a lot of people in Knoxville who want Planned Parenthood’s doors to stay open. They want abortion to remain safe and legal. They want

people to have access to the healthcare services they need,” Tory Mills, external affairs officer for East Tennessee Planned Parenthood, said.

Cars drove by and honked throughout the event. Some drivers yelled out in protest.

“Everybody needs access to clean facilities and professionals that can help them … So, I mean, it’s just common sense. You need these services,” Carlos Wyrick, a supporter, said.

It was an overall peaceful demonstration, but there was a gathering of about 50 counterprotestors at the Trinity Tabernacle Church of God in Christ across the street. The counter-protesters held up graphic signs against the abortion services of Planned Parenthood, depicting images of dead babies. Some of the protestors marched by the Planned Parenthood supporters, which caused tension.

“I think (Planned Parenthood’s) main focus is abortion, regardless of all the other

advertising they put out … If all the Planned Parenthood organizations would stop doing abortions and were really places of healthcare, that’s what I would like to see,” Marlene Yurick, a pro-life protestor, said. “It just breaks my heart that babies are dying and women suffer the ill effects of abortion for the rest of her life. I think women just carry that with them– feeling they have something missing.”

Events like these have been happening across the nation since the topic of defunding came up.

“What defunding Planned Parenthood means is taking away preventative healthcare for millions of Americans. People come here for pap smears, breast exams, life-saving cancer screenings, STI testing and birth control,” Mills said. “That is what it would mean to defund Planned Parenthood, so people need to keep that in mind.”

UT professors speak about refugee crisis Shelby Whitehead Staff Writer

After President Donald Trump barred travelers from seven countries and temporarily stopped the refugee program, two professors involved with refugees spoke about challenges refugees face.

“Refugees get stuck in the middle of all this political fighting,” Tricia Hepner, associate professor in the Department of Anthropology, said. “There’s a humanitarian obligation that countries around the world have to support and assist refugees.”

For more than 20 years, Hepner has worked with refugees from Eritrea, an African country characterized by war, famine and numerous human rights violations. The government upheld an indefinite military conscription policy since 2002 that gives the government control over individuals as young as 13 years old. Those conscripted into the military face abuse and forced labor. Eritrea was the 10th highest source of refugees in the world in 2015 with around 400,000 people fleeing the country in 2015.

Refugees can only enter the U.S. through a recognized United Nations camp after being granted refugee status after an intense vetting process. The other option is to enter the U.S. illegally.

“Less than 1 percent of all refugees in the world ever get the chance to be eligible for resettlement in another country, and it’s only about half of 1 percent of all eligible refugees who end up being chosen for the U.S. resettlement process,” Hepner said. “So it’s a tiny number, and up until the time when you get on the airplane and now get off the airplane to resettle in the United States, the process can fail.”

The current vetting process is a series of documentations, assessments, interviews, finger printings and biomedical and security screenings. The process can take up to 10 or more years to complete.

Hepner aided in 350 political asylum cases and provided legal counsel for individuals seeking refuge. Individuals are considered ineligible under the Patriot Act if involved in any terrorism related organizations — including forced militancy in guerrilla armies.

“It’s just kind of a politics of cruelty to say to people, ‘We fear you because of your nationality, because of your religion, and therefore, we exclude you,’” Hepner said. “That’s the kind of thing that will actually produce a spike in terrorist activity and will destabilize national security.”

Challenges can continue even if refugees earn

political asylum. Language and education barriers are the biggest obstacles refugees face when in their new country.

De Ann Pendry, senior lecturer in the Department of Anthropology, lived in Latin America as a child and started working with Spanish-speaking refugees when she was hired at UT. Pendry worked with the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition and the Knoxville division of Bridge Refugee Services, an organization that aids refugees for the three months following their resettlement by helping them secure homes and jobs.

Refugees who were considered professionals in their home countries may have challenges obtaining professional reaccreditation for their former profession. In areas with a high concentration of refugees from the same countries, refugees tend to form niche jobs within their resettled community. Often, the jobs refugees obtain following resettlement are in hotels or factories.

The major challenge of the legal system right now is applying the vetting process to various cultural perspectives and different levels of political disarray depending on the country of incoming refugees.

“The political discourse right now is all about who are deserving, who’s not and who needs to be thrown out of the country. Some of those policy changes are being made based on stereotypes,” Pendry said. “That’s problematic.

I consider that to be unjust. I’m very alarmed at the anti-immigrant rhetoric we’re hearing around the country.”

LADY VOLS

Lady Vols give up lead Tyler Wombles Copy Editor

With the Texas A&M Aggies leading 61-59 and with just two seconds remaining in the Lady Vols home matchup, Mercedes Russell grabbed an inbounds pass close to the basket and put up a lastsecond field goal attempt.

The ball hit the basket and rolled off the rim, and the Tennessee faithful in the stands let out a cry of exasperation and disappointment as the final buzzer sounded.

The Lady Vols held an 11-point lead with 6:40 to go in the first half, but squandered the advantage.

Tennessee lead 54-47 at the end of the third quarter and the Aggies outscored the Lady Vols 14-5 during the fourth quarter to tie the game up as the game’s final seconds loomed.

Aggies center Khaalia Hillsman knocked down the game-winning jumper with just four seconds left.

“The fourth quarter just got us,” head coach Holly Warlick said. “We gave up offensive rebounds, and we jump-shot the basketball and didn’t rebound as well. You’re up six with three-something to go, we

give up a three. And then we give up another three.

A&M battled, and they just had a little bit more of a will than we did down the stretch.”

Junior guard Diamond DeShields credited the team’s late-game struggles to not playing the way they had played earlier in the contest.

“We just got away from what got us there,” DeShields said. “We started jump-shooting the basketball. We were missing those shots, so they would rebound and have opportunities on their end to score.”

Junior center Mercedes Russell led Tennessee with 17 points, followed by junior guard Alexa Middleton with 14. The game was Middleton’s second straight start; she replaced sophomore guard Meme Jackson in the starting lineup against Missouri.

Russell also grabbed 11 rebounds, giving her another double-double game on a season littered with them for the junior center.

As a team, Tennessee shot a mediocre 24-for-63 (38 percent) on field goals, and an abysmal 3-for-14 (21 percent) from beyond the arc.

SOFTBALL

Vols softball impresses with great pitching, solid hitting Staff Report Co-head coach Ralph Weekly expressed concerns about Tennessee’s inexperienced pitchers heading into the Eagle Round Robin in Statesboro, Georgia.

The young staff got only one earned run over the course of the weekend to help the No. 15/15 Vols achieve a 5-0 start to the 2017 season.

Freshman Caylan Arnold pitched a shutout in her collegiate debut against Tennessee Tech.

The Maryville native struck out five batters and allowed only two hits in the Volunteers’ 10-0 runrule victory to set the tone for the weekend and the 2017 season.

Sophomore Matty Moss came within one out of securing her first career no-hitter in Saturday’s game at Georgia Southern. Mekhia Freeman hit an RBI single to left field in the fifth inning to break up the no-hitter and put the Eagles on the board. Moss finished out the game with six strikeouts and picked up her second win of the season in the Vols’ 13-2 run-rule victory.

Moss also pitched a complete game shutout against MTSU on Friday and three innings of relief in Sunday’s game against UNC Greensboro

to finish the weekend 3-0.

Even if the young pitchers had struggled during opening weekend, Tennessee’s offense would have made up for it.

The Vols’ outscored their opponents 47-4 with six home runs over the weekend, but the majority of Tennessee’s power hitting took place on Sunday against UNC Greensboro.

Sophomore Aubrey Leach hit a leadoff home run to center against UNC Greensboro on Sunday for her first career home run.

Scarlet McSwain hit her second home run of the season in the second inning to drive in Megan Greer and extend Tennessee’s lead to 3-0.

McSwain and Greer led the team in RBIs with three apiece. Meghan Gregg also had a solo home run in the 13-1 run-rule victory over the Spartans.

With victories against Tennessee Tech and MTSU, the Vols have improved their win streak against in-state opponents to 90 consecutive games and are now 85-0 against in-state rivals under co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly.

The Vols have also gone 13-3 in season openers and 62-12-1 overall in opening weekends with the Weeklys.

Tennessee’s next tournament is the Troy Cox Classic in Las Cruces, New Mexico, beginning with a 4 p.m. game against DePaul on Saturday.

Sigma Phi Epsilon wins 37th Boxing Weekend Tyler Wombles Copy Editor

The members of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity will remember Saturday night for a very long time.

In the 37th Boxing Weekend at the University of Tennessee — dubbed “the biggest party weekend in the South” — fraternity brothers Tanner Lowery and Dimitry Petrov both won matches Saturday night, Feb. 11, leading Sigma Phi Epsilon to victory and awarding them the 2017 Ace Miller Memorial Boxing Tournament trophy.

Boxing Weekend has taken place at UT since 1980, this year at the Knoxville Expo Center, and includes three nights of organized fights between members from various UT fraternities each competing for total team points per fraternity.

Fighters are divided among 11 weight classes. The championship matches for each weight class are fought on Saturday, the last night of the tournament.

Corey Baldwin, who represented Kappa Sigma, said participating in the champion-

ship matches was an honor.

“People pride themselves in doing this event,” Baldwin said. “I’m definitely proud to do it. Just to represent my fraternity as a whole, the chapter at UT, I think it’s great …

It’s been a great experience.”

The tournament, originally named the SAE Fraternity Boxing Tournament, was renamed to honor Ace Miller after his death in 2012. Miller, the former president of Golden Gloves, was a Knoxville boxing legend who trained several Olympians.

According to the tournament’s website, the “Boxing Tournament has been a staple of Greek life at the University of Tennessee” since its origin, growing in size and profit each year. More than 1,500 men have competed since 1980, and Boxing Weekend has also evolved into one of the largest collegiate fundraisers in the U.S. All proceeds from the tournament benefit Golden Gloves Charities which gives boxing equipment to kids who cannot afford it and helps pay for other expenses so they can compete nationally.

Known for its rowdy atmosphere and huge crowds, the 2017 Boxing Weekend was no exception.

With more than 2,000 people in attendance, the event attracts not just UT students but also people from across the Southeastern region. Although not officially part of the Boxing Weekend agenda, rappers Gucci Mane and A$AP Ferg visited Knoxville to perform at the after parties hosted by fraternity organizers.

In the culmination of events Saturday night, tensions were high between the competing fraternities.

Sophomore Delta Tau Delta brother Zack Larison kicked off the night winning the 125-127 pound weight class championship and was followed by sophomore William Marszalek of Phi Delta Theta taking the 132-134 pound match.

Sophomore Colin Azzopardi found victory in the 139-141 pound match for another Phi Delta Theta win, and senior Hayes Westlake took the 146-148 pound final for Phi Alpha.

Junior Michael Young of Delta Tau Delta (153-155 pound), Lowery of Sigma Phi Epsilon (159-161 pound) and sophomore Cody Hunter of Alpha Gamma Rho (168170 pound) were also victorious in their weight class finals.

Hunter said it was an especially memorable night for him.

“Last night, after my win (in the semifinals), everybody came over and dog-piled me,” he said. “I guess it’s kind of like winning a big sports event … I had an adrenaline rush for like an hour-and-a-half, two hours after the fight. I was still like, ‘Dang, that was awesome.’”

Petrov and senior Mike Rogers of Delta Tau Delta both won their matches in the 183-191 pound and super heavyweight classes, respectively, to close out the night and the tournament.

Azzopardi was awarded the Best Boxer Trophy, and senior Josiah Brandt of Delta Tau Delta went home with the Best Sportsmanship Trophy.

The opening match between Larison and Hilburn won Best Bout of the Night.

The tournament had fewer boxers than years past. Some weight classes didn’t have opening fights at all on Thursday.

“It’s a good time,” Hunter said. “I know this year we didn’t have as many boxers, but hopefully next year there will be a lot more ... It’s for a good cause. That’s the main thing.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Frazier’s monster performances a norm vs. Vols Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor Standing at 5-foot-10 and 155 pounds, Georgia guard J.J. Frazier may not seem like a threat on the basketball court.

But behind that small build is the shadow of a big man — a man that almost single-handedly helped the Bulldogs come back to defeat the Vols 76-75 on Saturday night. “They just gave the ball to J.J. Frazier and let him dribble it,� head coach Rick Barnes said post-game. “It’s one of the hardest things to defend, a guy who can dribble and snake it here and there. He’s a tough player to defend.�

On Saturday night, he dropped a season-high 29 points on the Vols in Thompson-Boling Arena. Although only shooting 2-7 from the 3-point line, Frazier’s bread and butter came from inside the paint and at the charity stripe.

The senior guard shot 11-19 overall and 5-6

from the free-throw line. If you take out his 3-point attempts, that leaves a menacing 9-12 from the field.

And most of those points came in comebackfashion during the second half. After Vols forward Grant Williams nailed a jumper at the 15:13 mark to give the Vols a 53-39 lead, their biggest lead of the night, Frazier took command.

Of the 37 points the Bulldogs dropped from that mark to the end of the game, Frazier was responsible for 31 points; scoring 17 himself and assisting on 14.

Whether he was stopping on a dime for a pullup jumper, slashing inside for an acrobatic layup, passing off to a teammate or simply making Vol defenders look silly with his flashy dribbling skills. Frazier completely dominated the Vols. “We got it done tonight because J.J. Frazier loves playing for this school,â€? Georgia head coach Mark Fox said. “J.J. just refused to give in, and he did what seniors do. He led the fight ‌ You can go on down the line, but it started with him (Frazier) leading the fight.â€?

Frazier has always had a sweet spot in his play when it comes to besting the Vols, recording double-digit points each of the four times he played Tennessee.

In his freshman year, Frazier came off the bench and shot 4-5 from the field to pick up 12 points despite Georgia losing the game 67-48.

In 2015, Frazier got the start against Tennessee but faltered a bit, only shooting 3-8 with 10 points despite playing 35 minutes. Still, Georgia picked up a 56-53 win that day.

Last year was Frazier’s breakout game in which he dropped 28 points on the Vols while knocking down 10 of his 14 shots. Frazier combined his 28 with then-senior guard Kenny Gaines’ 23 points to help the Bulldogs best the Vols 81-72.

But Frazier’s performance on Saturday night may be his best ever against the Vols — the aforementioned 29 points and 11-19 (57.9 percent) from the field, a team-high six assists, four rebounds and two steals.

According to Frazier himself, all he does

game in and game out is find a way to win. “For me, it’s just my will to win,� Frazier said. “I don’t care if I score 28, 38 or eight. I just want to win games. I think it trickles out to my team.

They see how much winning means to me, how much this university means to me. Whatever I have to do to win a game, I will.�

By the Numbers: 3.8: The Vols assist/turnover ratio on Saturday night. Tennessee had 19 assists and a season-low five turnovers. Entering Saturday, the Vols assist/turnover ratio was 1.3 in SEC games — the best mark in the SEC in conference games.

1: The amount of wins the Vols need to match their win total from last year.

30: The point total of Grant Williams on Saturday. This was the freshman’s second 30-point game of his career.

Up Next: The Vols will travel to Rupp Arena on Tuesday, Feb. 14, to take on the Kentucky Wildcats. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. ET, and the game will be televised on ESPN.

Holly Warlick, Head Coach of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, against Texas A&M at Thompson-Boling Arena on Feb. 12, 2017.

Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon

LADY VOLS continued from Page 5 As a team, Tennessee shot a mediocre 24-for-63 (38 percent) on field goals, and an abysmal 3-for-14 (21 percent) from beyond the arc. Texas A&M’s field goal totals looked almost identical (24-64, 37.5 percent) but the Aggies went 4-for-7 (57 percent) on 3-pointers.

DeShields took a seat on the bench during the second quarter after getting into foul trouble early.

She returned for the third quarter, but did not take a shot after scoring 11 points during her limited

first-half playing time.

But what concerned Warlick more than DeShields’s second-half scoring absence was the amount of offensive rebounds given up by the Lady Vol defense.

“You just can’t give up 15 offensive boards, and down the stretch, they got the loose balls,” Warlick said. “The last shot at the end, we gave up, I think, two offensive rebounds … I do know this, that we quick shot the basketball the fourth quarter, and we should have gone inside. We should have penetrated and gone inside. Diamond got 12 looks at it.”

The loss gives Tennessee its ninth loss of the season and its fifth in conference play. The Lady Vols were looking to win out the rest of the regular sea-

son, but the defeat on Sunday dashed those plans.

“This was a must-win for us,” Warlick said.

“Great opportunity for us, and we let it slip away.

We’ve still got a lot of basketball to go, but this one obviously hurts a little bit.”

Before Sunday’s game, the Lady Vols sat at fifth in the SEC standings. Texas A&M was at third place.

With just four games remaining on the regular season schedule, the Lady Vols will travel to Tuscaloosa on Thursday to face Alabama. The Crimson Tide is 15-10 on the season, with a 3-9 conference record.

The game will tipoff at 8 p.m. E.T., and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.

Local improv comedy troupe, Full Disclosure, performed at The Open Chord on Kingston Pike Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2017.

Local group brings spontaneity to Open Chord Peter McKay

Contributor

The Open Chord, a live music venue, store and cafe located in West Knoxville, has been a home to local acts for years, and the improv comedy troupe “Full Disclosure” is no exception.

Being a huge fan of comedy, when I heard the venue was hosting a free show just minutes from my apartment on Wednesday, Feb. 8, I knew I had to check it out. Arriving half an hour early, I was pleasantly surprised to see the place was already filling up with a healthy mix of Open Chord regulars and diehard Full Disclosure fans.

The local, long-form improvisational group, Full Disclosure, formed in 2015.

After a very successful first performance at The Open Chord, they contracted with the venue to perform a twice-monthly slot on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month.

By the 8 p.m. scheduled start of the show, the excitement in the air was palpable as the lights dimmed and the performers took the stage, kicking off two hours of a delightful introduction to the world of improv comedy.

Full Disclosure explained that improvisational comedy is much like traditional acting but with a significant twist. Instead of performing pre-rehearsed scenes, these actors solicit audience suggestions to form short skits that are as spontaneous as they are hilarious.

Rollin Prince, a member of Full Disclosure, described improv as a venn diagram of sorts.

“On one side of the diagram, you have joy and on the other side you have fear,” Prince said. “Where they meet in the middle, you have improv.“You’re flying by the seat of your pants where nobody knows what’s going to happen next.”

Per audience suggestions, Full Disclosure performed skits about selling car insurance and the everyday incon-

venience of folding laundry. One of my favorite scenes involved an ill-fated Valentine’s Day date on a nude beach.

As the show progressed, the actors found ways to sneak in jokes or characters used earlier in the night from completely separate skits. This improv technique is referred to as a “call back” and adds to the uniqueness of each performance, creating a one-of-a-kind routine for each individual audience member.

Joshua Lampley, one of the performers, said this kind of off-script comedy and community created during each show is what drew him to improv.

“I like getting on stage and having no idea what’s going to happen,” Lampley said. “It’s a great challenge.”

Each of the Full Disclosure cast agreed, saying that oftentimes the funniest moments occur when they break character or mess up a sketch.

When they are not performing, Full Disclosure also enjoys giving back to the community through acting workshops

with local high schools.

Full Disclosure ember Kerry Koczen said these workshops show her how improv comedy can break anyone out of their shell.

“Before we started, the teacher warned us that there were five students who were shy and may not want to participate,” Koczen said. “But, by the end of the class we did not know who those students were because they were all having so much fun.”

Full Disclosure is also working on hosting monthly workshops for the general public regardless of their experience level.

The next Full Disclosure performance will be held at the Knoxville Outdoor Adventure Center on Friday, Feb. 17.

The Daily Beacon • Monday, February 13, 2017

Beacon Beats Noveller - “Pink Sunsets for No One” Noveller is the solo project of Brooklynbased guitarist and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate.

In 2014, Lipstate signed with Fire Records, and in 2015, together they released “Fantastic Planet” and reissued Noveller’s critically acclaimed albums “No Dreams” and “Glacial Glow” in 2016. In addition to her impressive track record, Noveller has toured with Iggy Pop, St. Vincent and Radiolab. Now, Lipstate furthers her musical career with her newest album “Pink Sunsets for No One.” The album opens with “Deep Shelter,” which feels like the opening score to an Oscar-

winning film. The next song feels like a song that should play as a backdrop as a western sunset splays across a screen. Each song is so different from each other, yet it feels like they could belong to the soundtrack of the same movie. Noveller has properly created an experimental album that is worth listening to.

Of course, the album named song “A Pink Sunset for No One” stands out as one of the best songs on the album. While this album is instrumental, each song creates a different vibe and tone — making the album like a cinematic adventure.

The Sadies - “Northern Passages” The Sadies are a Canadian rock/country band from the ‘90s. Since 1998, the band has released 10 solo albums in addition to eight albums with featured artists like Andre Williams and Neko Case. But, above all, the Toronto band is known for seamlessly melding surf guitar, traditional country, film-score stylings and bar-band bluster.

“Northern Passages,” The Sadies 10th album showcases the band-leading brothers Dallas and Travis Good’s characteristic adaptability. In this album, that

adaptability shows in how the band shines when bigger personalities take the helm. “It’s Easy (Like Walking)” features American singer-songwriter Kurt Vile and easily stands apart from the rest of the album (it is also the only track with a featured artist).

Overall, “Northern Passages” is a good album. It doesn’t stand out too much, but if you like their garage, rockabilly sound, then you might want to give this album a try. Or maybe at least try it for the talent of Kurt Vile in track four.

Love at first listen. I’m a sucker for musical scores and that’s exactly what this album feels like. It’s beautiful and amazing.

This album basically screams artistic passion. I love that this album is more like a score than a normal album. However, I wish there was a stronger link between the songs to make the album feel more cohesive.

I’ve also never heard of this group, but iTunes described the album as “Toronto’s country-rockers head back to the basement,” and that sounds pretty interesting to me.

I love the garage band feel of some of the songs. That really gives the music a ‘90s feel, but I’d hardly say this album is cutting edge or unique.

This album really didn’t stand out much for me.

They weren’t bad, but it just wasn’t unique enough to really pique my interests.

Again, I’ve been slacking in the music department, clearly. I have never heard of Noveller, but the album cover caught my eye. Plus, I’ve got nothing to lose, right?
