Lecture provides new perspective on health care R.J. Vogt News Editor In the nearly filled Toyota Auditorium on Wednesday night, Jim VanderSteeg, COO of Covenant Health Systems, began his lecture on health care with a slide of the movie poster from Clint Eastwood’s classic film, “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.”

The movie title could not have been more apropos, as Vandersteeg and his chief medical officer, Dr. Mark Browne, explained the positives and negatives of the American system to the audience of students, faculty and community members.

Amid charts, pop culture references and an elaborate allegory between Mickey Mouse watches and American health care, the Covenant Health duo provided two different sides on one of the nation’s hottest issues.

“Part of what makes this so unique this evening is that our speakers are coming at it from two different perspectives,” said Sarah Hunter, a Chancellor’s Honors assistant director who helped • Photo courtesy of James Steidl organize the event. “We have the perspective of the Jim VanderSteeg and Dr. Mark business part of health care, and then the physiBrowne of Covenant Health cian’s view.”

VanderSteeg’s administrative segment focused Systems discussed healthcare in on how the U.S. arrived where it is today. With America on Feb. 20. the world’s highest per capital health care expen-

ditures and swiftly rising Medicare costs, the U.S. is an undeniable outlier among otherwise manageable global health care trends.

As the Eastwood poster suggested, however, the situation is not all bad.

“If you look at our system and you look at how many people travel from all over the world to come to America for their health care … the American health care system is in many ways a wonderful health care system,” Vandersteeg said. “It’s maybe not sustainable, the way that we provide healthcare today, but it’s also important to know that the American health care system is very important to our economy.”

VanderSteeg said that the national problems emerged from a focus on volume of healthcare, not value. Historically, the fastest providers made the most money, and oftentimes the quality of provided care suffered.

“Value has not been in the equation,” he said.

“October 1st of this year was the first time hospitals actually got their payment affected by their performance. In the past, not too long ago, your performance didn’t mean anything. There weren’t things that were consistently measured across the country.”

Hospitals are paying more attention to those measurements as the nation prepares for the “Silver

who can’t at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital,” he said.

“Although staying up for 14 straight hours presents its challenges, it is worth the exhaustion and the small foot pain we may experience when the children come visit us on the Saturday morning of the event.”

Event organizers have arranged a long list of entertainment for the evening.

Zumba classes, belly dancing, ballroom dancing and a hiphop dance class are all on the agenda. Attendees will be able to enjoy the musical styles of The Lonely Biscuits and a UT a cappella group. BOSS Dance Company and the UT step team will be performing along with a hypnotist.

Alyce Burdine, the vice president of events, believes it will be a memorable evening.

“Students should turn out because they will get the opportunity to be a part of the largest

student run philanthropy and give back to the hospital that is in UT’s backyard,” she said.

“Nobody remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep but you will remember the night you made a difference in a child’s life.”

Following the evening’s festivities, participants will play host to some of the children and their parents.

“My favorite part of Dance Marathon is when we have the kids’ carnival the morning after the event,” Hannah Alexander, an event organizer, said. “It’s so much fun to meet the kids and their parents and see our impact!”

The marathon will be held tonight through Saturday in the TRECs basketball gym, with registration starting at 9 p.m. today and ending at noon on Saturday.

For those who can’t commit to the entire marathon, Giffin offered some alternatives.

Tsunami,” another name for the aging baby boomers, America’s soon-to-be largest age group whose health needs are projected to increase substantially over the next 10 to 15 years. VanderSteeg showed slides of report cards that assessed patients’ experiences and doctors’ services, explaining that, in the 21st century, value will become the dominant force in health care economics.

With the comfortable air of a trained physician, VanderSteeg’s cohort, Browne, joined into the lecture halfway through. He transitioned from administrative initiatives to the practical changes he suspects the U.S. system will soon experience.

Specifically, he highlighted the things that will soon be gone from American health care. Thanks to the advent of technology and the new emphasis on value, the days of filling out charts by hand or working 80 hour weeks are gone. The very way doctors treat disease, Browne said, will change.

“We grew up and built an acute care system; we take care of people when they’re sick,” Browne said. “The system you all are going to live in is managing population and managing disease. ...

A medical home model says, ‘I’m going to keep people well, I’m going to do everything I can to keep them out of the hospital and I’m going to get paid to do it.’”

Simmons, Lady Vols dominate Tigers

“If you can’t make it to our main event this weekend, you may know someone who will be giving up 14 hours of their life to benefit East Tennessee Children’s Hospital,” he said.

“You can support the cause by donating to your friend and supporting them in this experience. Also, you may contribute by visiting our office in the Center for Leadership and Service in the UC. Or, even better, you may visit our event on Friday night and Saturday morning to show your support that way.”

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the hospital’s fund that assists families who can’t afford treatment.

“Any support for Dance Marathon and the hematology and oncology clinic is greatly appreciated,” Giffin said. “Help make the 19th year of Dance Marathon one to remember.”

The No. 11 Tennessee Lady Vols dominated the Auburn Tigers (14-12, 3-10 SEC) 83-61 on Thursday to earn their twelfth SEC victory of the season.

The Lady Vols (21-5, 12-1) came out hot shooting 6-of-7 from behind the arc in the first eight minutes of the contest.

The fast start would give the Lady Vols a 26-5 lead, and from there they wouldn’t look back.

“We got off to a great start,” head coach Holly Warlick said.

“It started with our defense, the last two days all we’ve done is defense, we haven’t touched the basketball on the offensive end the last two days so you’re seeing the result of us emphasizing our defense and it got us going, it just got us momentum. On the offensive end we got good looks and we moved the basketball. We had a season-high of 24 assists so I think it was a complete game and I just think our defense started the whole thing off.”

The Lady Vols were led by junior guard Meighan Simmons who scored 24 points on 10-of23 shooting to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and five steals.

“I feel like I started off a lot more energetic than I did the last time we played them,” Simmons said. “I was a lot more hungry this game. When my defense is going, my offense just comes naturally.”

Sophomore forward Cierra Burdick, who is still coming back from a broken right hand she suffered earlier in the season, also had a good game registering a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

“I finally can smile after the game,” Burdick said. “It’s kind of like a sigh of relief. I finally came out and played the way I’m capable of playing. I really just tried to be aggressive on the boards and I was able to get some put-backs off of that and my teammates found me when I was open, and I think this was a stepping stone game for me.”

Editor-in-Chief Instead of “shaking” for an internet meme, the UT community will be dancing this weekend to support the hematology and oncology unit of East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

“Dance Marathon, to me, really stands out on its own as far as charitable causes on campus because of the local impact that it makes,” Zac Giffin, Dance Marathon president, said in a statement. “The Knoxville community welcomes and accommodates UT students … Dance Marathon gives us the opportunity to give back to the local hospital and the city of Knoxville. …”

While some students may be reluctant to spend an entire Friday night on their feet, Giffin said the experience is “indescribable.”

forward Jasmine Jones left the game with an undisclosed injury after she took what appeared to be an elbow to the face in the first half. Jones finished with zero points.

“From what I understand, she just got her nose hit and it was just a precaution thing,” Warlick said. “I think she’s fine but I’m sure they’ll evaluate her tomorrow and the doctors will be looking at her as well.”

The Lady Vols’ defense played well, especially in the first half where they only allowed 21 points. The team was effective getting into the passing lanes, recording 10 steals and scoring 24 points off turnovers, with 20 of those off the fast break.

“We’ve been focusing a lot on the defensive end the last couple of practices,” Simmons said. “I feel like I’ve been working so hard to try and make defense a priority and Coach Elzy and Coach Law were telling me they wanted to see some really good defense tonight so I feel like my defense really did dictate my offense. I got early points off of steals, but it wasn’t just me that got steals, a lot of people got in the passing lane and got steals but we had a really good team effort today and I’m proud of the team and how we played.”

Next up for the Lady Vols are the Arkansas Razorbacks on Feb. 24 at 2 p.m. EST in Fayetteville, Ark.

CAMPUS NEWS HEALTH CARE continued from Page 1 After the 90 minute lecture, a brief question and answer session centered on ideas of socioeconomic differences and the possibilities of adopting other nations’ models.

Dr. Paula Fredriksen, a professor at Boston University, talks to students before the lecture in Cox Auditorium on Feb. 19.

Lecture series focuses on sin, Christianity Brooke Turner Contributor People filled the lecture hall of the Alumni Memorial Building on Tuesday night as Dr. Paula Fredriksen, this year’s scholarly orator for the annual David L. Dungan Memorial Lecture, presented on the controversial topic of sin.

Dr. David L. Dungan was a beloved and well-renowned scholar here at UT who passed away in 2008. As the long-time head of the Department of Religious Studies, Dungan specialized in early Christianity and the Christian New Testament. After his death, UT established a memorial lecture in 2010 to honor his life and legacy.

“The goal of the lecture series is to bring eminent scholars to Knoxville who specialize in early Christianity and the resources for studying early Christianity, as well as renowned speakers on the contemporary religious issues that so concerned our late colleague, such as the environment, war and peace, missions and the future of Christianity,” reads the description of the memorial lecture on utk.edu.

It is no surprise that this year’s keynote speaker had quite the credentials herself.

Fredriksen currently serves as the distinguished visiting

professor of comparative religion at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem while also holding her position at Boston University as the Aurelio professor of scripture emerita.

Her latest work, “Sin: The Early History of an Idea,” was the central topic of Tuesday night’s lecture.

Fredriksen discussed the topic of sin by comparing two “gentile” theologians, Origen and Augustine. She said it is imperative to understand sin as these two philosophers did because they each had a significant influence on not only the early Christian teachings but also on today’s widely accepted teachings of Christianity.

She summarized Origen’s philosophy as a belief in the perfection of God. All other beings, incapable to remain perfect, are doomed to sin.

Thanks to God-given free will, Fredriksen said, Origen believed that humans could repent.

On the other side of the equation, Augustine felt sin was part of human nature, Fredriksen explained. After Adam committed the original sin, all people now have defective wills instead of free will.

This stark contrast between Augustine and Origen leads the former to stress that the only hope for humanity is God’s grace.

Fredriksen pointed out how

these controversies of sin and grace bring into question God’s fairness.

“How fair is God in punishing sinners if they cannot help but sin?” she asked the audience.

One member of the audience, Alissa Reeves, senior in English rhetoric writing and religious studies, was particularly interested in Fredriksen’s insights on the formation of Christianity.

“Dr. Fredriksen’s lecture has an impact on how we view, not only modern day Christianity, but also how that relates to ancient Hebraic society and the formulation of Christian tradition based on the early apostles,” Reeves said after the lecture. “I was especially interested on Dr. Fredriksen’s special interest on the apostle Paul, which ties into a senior seminar I am taking this semester regarding orthodoxy and heresy concerning the early church.”

Hoping to eventually study Middle Eastern archaeology herself, Reeves especially enjoyed the visit from someone with so much experience in the region.

For her part, Fredriksen said she hoped that listeners appreciated the importance of sin to world understanding.

“It brings everything else into focus, including the idea of God,” she said.

Fundraiser, banquet promotes diversity Samantha Smoak Staff Writer The College of Communication and Information’s Diversity Student Leaders Society (CCI DSLS) will soon be hosting its fifth annual “Experience Diversity Banquet.”

Tonight at 7 p.m. in the Bearden Banquet Hall, club members will showcase their organizational goals. Chelsea Sanz, president of CCI DSLS, described the banquet as an opportunity for the club to reach out to the community.

“We utilize it as a showcase to keep our gracious sponsors informed of what we do as an organization: community service, community building and career development,” Sanz said.

“We also utilize the banquet as a fundraiser and the opportunity to publicly honor the CCI Diversity Award winner.”

The CCI Diversity Award winner is chosen based on their contribution to the community.

“We choose (the winner) with some faculty and students and myself,” said Alice Wirth, director of CCI DSLS. “Basically (we look) at the community, (and find) people who have made a community a better place in reference to diversity and inclusion.”

This year’s banquet’s keynote speaker and CCI Diversity Award recipient is Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. She is the first female mayor of Knoxville and the first female to be elected mayor in any of Tennessee’s largest cities (Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga).

Nicholas Meade, co-sponsor of CCI DSLS, said that the purpose of the banquet is to increase awareness of the importance of diversity, as well as raise funds for the club.

“The purpose of the banquet is to endorse and embrace civility, diversity and inclusion in (the College of Communication and Information) and to pro-

vide an inspirational diversity experience for students, faculty and all others in attendance,” Meade said. “The banquet also raises funds to support the college’s Diversity and Inclusion Program.”

The club uses this banquet to fundraise for educational trips to Washington, D.C., Chicago and Charlotte. In addition to a meal and awards presentation, there will be cultural acts, pictures of CCI DSLS’s year in review, a performance by the CCI DSLS students, dancing and silent and live auctions at the banquet.

Sanz, who is also a senior in communication studies, hopes students will walk away with an increased understanding of what diversity really is.

“More than anything, we seek to promote the idea that diversity exists amongst each of us,” she said. “I hope that people will walk away with a healthy curi-

osity for that concept and that this event encourages others to explore both their own diversity and the diversity they are surrounded by.”

Meade, a lecturer for the School of Communication Studies, agreed with Sanz. “(I hope that) the … banquet will reiterate the importance of continuing to raise awareness (of) the importance of civility, diversity and inclusion in our daily lives,” said Meade. “And to demonstrate the College of Communication and Information’s commitment to maintaining civility, diversity (at UT).”

This event is open to the UT community and the public.

Tickets are $30 each or a table of ten may be purchased for $300.00. RSVP to Beth Cole at bcole@utk.edu or 865-9741540.

‘Oscars’ celebrate blockbusters, art Brennan Warrington Contributor As “The Oscars” awards ceremony prepares for its moment Sunday night, it’s time to recap, and award, all the movies nominated for some of the big categories. Some films are the silent indies that surprise the masses by their unexpected charm and genius, while others talked about blockbusters that have been anticipated long before their premier. Here’s the list of the films that should take home the gold.

Amour “Amour” is the latest film from Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke. Every so often a foreign film is nominated for best picture, but it usually has zero chances of winning. It has never happened before and it’s doubtful that it ever will.

Haneke’s films typically fall under or blur the line between everyday life and disturbed reality.

“Amour” falls into the everyday life category so don’t go in expecting “Funny Games” or “Cache.”

The film works well with Haneke’s slow pace as a great deal of segments deal with the old couple’s daily routine. Emmanuelle Riva gives one of the best performances of the year. The beauty of her performance is in her ability to slowly transform herself from completely healthy being to bedridden. The change happens very gradually and is completely believable. Jean-Louis Trintignant is perfectly cast as the caring husband who tries his best to take care for the woman he loves.

“Amour” very well may be one of Haneke’s most successful narrations. The story is simple yet carries so much emotional weight. “Amour” will win Best Lead Actress, Best Foreign Film and Best Original Screenplay.

film an authentic feel, like one was enjoying a Broadway production. Hooper really takes the audience on a redemptive journey that feels credible despite the fact that every spoken word is in song. Despite the hefty running time, the movie manages to flow without any hiccups in the narrative. The real spotlight of “Les Miserables” belongs to Hugh Jackman who plays the main character. Jackman is so natural at singing and performing that he sometimes overshadows the performers around him. Unfortunately, Anne Hathaway is where all the awards are going to.

Hathaway is good, but she doesn’t really give a better performance than her competition in the Best Supporting Actress category. What should win is the incredibly impressive production design that really added validity to “Les Mis.” Don’t be surprised when this film wins Best Supporting Actress, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Zero Dark Thirty

is a great actress who deserves more credit for her role. The film’s progression through time is handled beautifully. They use historical events in chronological order to progress the story from point A to point B. “Zero” is certainly a quick two-and-a-half hours. The editing in the film was phenomenal. “Argo” and “Zero” were both edited William Goldenberg, but unfortunately, “Zero Dark Thirty” will leave with nothing but the satisfaction of being nominated.

The latest film from Kathryn Bigelow is another movie about war in the Middle East, but this time it’s focused on the search for Osama bin Laden. The chance of “Zero Dark Thirty” winning any Oscar award sank down to null after critics started complaining that the film was glorifying torture tactics. This was an absolutely The Academy Awards ceremony airs at 8:30 asinine accusation that causes one to wonder if they had even watched the film. Jessica Chastain p.m. this Sunday on ABC.

Life of Pi

Ang Lee’s artistic eye for visually appealing imagery is what sets apart “Life of Pi” from its competition. It is not to say that “Life of Pi” belongs among Lee’s best work, but the film’s visual flair makes it an unforgettable experience.

How the ocean water is manipulated to act like a mirror or gateway into another world is especially jaw-dropping. Another CGI wonder was the tiger named John Parker. John Parker acts so natural one forgets that they’re watching a computer image. The 3D element in “Life of Pi” was strictly used to create an atmosphere and help transport the audience into the plight of Pi. All the visuals in “Life of Pi” help progress the story instead of hindering it. Despite all the positive feedback there are many issues with the film. Lee does have a good shot at taking home the the Best Director award, but Spielberg has Argo the 16th president on his side. “Life of Pi” will “Argo” is the most talked about film this receive the awards for Best Visual Effects, Best award season which began with “The Oscar’s’” Original Score, Best Sound Mixing and Best surprising omission of Ben Affleck in the Best Sound Editing.

The problem with Score awards.

“Django Unchained” is that it could have used more time in the editing room. Christoph Waltz is fantastic as Dr. Schultz and carries the film through its exaggerated running time. Without Waltz, the film would have not worked the same way. One overlooked performance is Samuel Jackson’s portrayal of Stephen. His whole demeanor, from the way he walks, talks and scowls is very well done. Another performance that was flat out ignored was Don Johnson as Big Daddy. Don’s best role in decades put his southern charm to good use and definitely had many viewers smiling. “Django Unchained” does have good chances of winning the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor categories, but it will likely go home empty-handed.

Silver Linings Playbook

“Silver Linings Playbook” is a worthy edition to David O. Russell’s great portfolio of films. The best thing about “Silver” is the screenplay: it’s an absolute winner. This is the second book adaptation by Russell, and he takes this rather simple story and completely makes it his own. Russell’s ability to write natural dialogue and quirky characters is used so well. Bradley Cooper is in the best role of his career and makes one hope that he chooses better projects in the future, because the guy can act when he has the script to do so. Jennifer Lawrence plays it very smart and doesn’t overdo it. Robert De Niro has never looked older, but he manages to shine through making this one of his best role in years. Jacki Les Miserables Weaver plays the exact opposite of her last Oscar “Les Miserables” is Tom Hooper’s big screen nominated role; she goes from being the scariest adaptation of the stage production of the same mother on the planet in “Animal Kingdom” to name.

& Domesticated

Music tastes change with age Emily DeLanzo Managing Editor I don’t know what constitutes a good song anymore.

I remember growing up in Cocke County and being exposed to the likes of country music stars with classics such as “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” and “Redneck Woman.” I feel as though my parents forced me to listen to slightly better music. Even growing up in Cocke County, my brow was too high for the typical radio trash.

My first music love was Robert Plant. I spent hours listening to Led Zeppelin I through IV. I learned all of the words of “Kashmir” and more.

As a fifth grader, I felt well-rounded and wellshaped. Not to mention, I resented the vast majority of pop music.

Behind my father’s back, my friends would teach me the likes of the Backstreet Boys and N*SYNC and I would learn to appreciate more than 1970s classic rock. I eventually broke out of my Steven Tyler, lip obsessed craze and progressed to college rock.

With the aid of my older, wiser and cooler sister, I stole her iTunes library and discovered The Arctic Monkeys and The Killers. I listened to the Strokes, the Kinks, the Kooks. I memorized all of the words to a Velvet Underground album.

And I jammed out to Green Day to keep it real with all the other 13-year-old posers.

After years of listening to angsty rock and the better-evolved form of Steven Tyler (cough William Beckett cough), I branched out to listen to wimpier and prettier music.

My soft stage included Regina Spektor and A Fine Frenzy. Death Cab for Cutie was an absolute must, and before you knew it I could have been mistaken for some spineless, overwrought with emotion teenager. Which is basi-

cally what I was.

Since attending UT, I have lost my drive to listen to weird music. I often find myself jamming out to 2-Chainz just as much as Conor Oberst. I don’t know what happened to my elitist taste in music or my love of hair metal.

Robert Plant’s curly locks were replaced with Drake’s mysterious Canadian fro and I haven’t been to a Toasters show in years.

I’ll keep to listening to the occasional City and Colour song and possibly find “Gallows Pole” by Led Zeppelin to keep me company while I dread May and my job outlook.

While in high school, I constantly viewed different music as awful and resented anything that didn’t fit into my hipster-type poser attitude. I never valued any other sort of music, but after years of residing in Knoxville and a few months of basically living in The Daily Beacon’s newsroom, I suppose rap and country could be worse.

February is always so depressing. Teachers seem to assign double the homework on top of the midterms they give, which are not even in the middle of the term at all. The weather is either miserably cold and rainy or unseasonably warm, so everyone on campus has either a cold or allergies. And worst of all, there are no holidays in February, aside from Valentine’s Day which usually just makes half the student population even more depressed than usual anyway.

In the middle of February, when all we want is a vacation, spring break is still so far away.

Of course, unless you’re one of those people who have the funds (and the stamina) to truck down to Panama City Beach for a full week, Spring Break is not really much of a break at all. Many students will still be working, interviewing for summer jobs or graduate schools, or taking care of projects that had been put off all semester in an attempt to stay on top of daily homework. That vacation that so many students need and crave often does not come.

After a long and miserable winter, we finally get ten days with no classes to attend.

The problem is that everyone, regardless of work ethic or endurance, needs a vacation, time to truly unwind and relax without the stress of school or work. And more and more, it seems that the students that do take a “vacation” in college by going to the beach spend most of the trip drunk, sunburned and sleepdeprived. The concept of a relaxing vacation for college students is in many ways a thing of the past.

So why is it that young people either work themselves half to death or drink themselves half to death during spring break? The answer

is pretty simple: college students today often have much more to worry about than college students of the past. Many students are financially independent who work long hours in addition to school in order to pay not only their rents but also their student loans to cover the increasingly high cost of college. Even students who are not financially independent have much to be stressed about: job prospects after college, student loans, keeping up with schoolwork and maintaining a social life while still remaining competitive in their disciplines.

As sad as it may be, it is little wonder that breaks from school usually become either opportunities to work full time or to drink stress away.

Students today need vacations. They need breaks. They need the ability to step away from school and work long enough to remember that they are young, they are remarkably fortunate, and the whole world is ahead of them. They need to rest in order to keep from burning out before they even graduate.

It used to be that burnout was a concern after years of being in the workforce, but more and more it seems that students are struggling to stay motivated when they are struggling to pay for college and being told that without that expensive college degree, they have no job prospects.

I strongly feel that the cost of college and the issues with student loans need to be amended if traditional forms of higher education are to survive the test of time. But I am also calling for a cultural paradigm shift in colleges and universities so that the idea of taking a truly relaxing break from school and work is not only acceptable but encouraged.

Vacations are critical for students’ sanity and productivity, and both the government and university administrators should work to ensure that all students have equal access and opportunities to relax and to renew.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” — Aldous Huxley When Christianity was the West’s main system of control, some of the finest minds in the world were employed to articulate brilliant, complex, philosophical arguments in defense of the various paradoxes which sprout from a belief in the Bible. These “experts” were capable of ingenious and amazing responses to the major stumbling blocks presented by the religious belief systems of the day. For example: If God is all powerful can he make a rock which nothing can move?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Paradox: Can he then move that rock?

Either way his power appears to have limits.

Asserting scholastic power over questions such as these gained articulate and clever people a lot of power and status back in the day. Saint Thomas Aquinas and his friends probably even believed what they said. It’s just that a lot of it now seems like very clever, agile, well-written bollocks.

Similar nonsense continues today, but it is the financial sector who will pay top dollar for you to fudge the issues. Paradoxes in our monetary system are just as crushing when stated bluntly. For example: Can people who need money borrow it from a bank?

Answer: Yes, of course, but they must pay it back with interest so we can reward people who keep their excess cash with us.

Paradox: So doesn’t that mean that in the long term we’re taking money off people who need it and giving it to those who don’t?

There’s a huge list of excuses as to why that’s not so, but no matter how you slice it, the more money you have the more you will be given by this process. This “interest” comes directly from those who needed it and therefore had to borrow, and through borrowing create the money.

As with the religious paradoxes, this is but one of many issues connected to the cultural belief system.

It’s easy to believe that the financial system is equally good for everyone (whatever that means), but again I use Greece’s unsuccessful assimilation into the EU as an example.

Greece, a country that simply doesn’t have the means or the history to be an economic force like Germany, is still childishly being used as an example for what happens when you don’t respect the mathematical integrity of the financial system by playing around with the institution of debt. They’ve been forced to turn to bleak austerity measures just for not operating like the countries with bigger economies — those who can hide and play around with their own debt a lot better — and you can decide for yourself here whether bigger is objectively or subjectively better, or just different, and requiring an altogether different standard of operation based on size and scope.

When the top 20 wealthiest nations promised to not artificially deflate the value of their currency to make it more competitive (not exactly sure how that works), were they not just admitting what a fixed, elite game economics is? Back to the basic example, printing money (or creating it through other debt) and lending it out to people who need it, then charging them interest on repayments, is about as good as praying for world peace.

The important point about this connection between religion and money is that it’s easy to spot the problems but trickier to advocate an alternative system. People often describe religion as a crutch but it’s a cruel character who knocks away the walking stick from one who appears to be relying on it. Many fear that Nietzsche’s prophetic “death of God” is being accompanied by a visible breakdown in law and order as our society, previously controlled by supernatural threats of final judgement, comes apart. The possible, some would say inevitable, collapse of the Western financial system will just as inevitably leave an even more crippled community behind in its wake.

New York hosts Fashion Week Samantha Coley Contributor New York’s busiest week, the notorious event known as the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, began last Thursday. The event consists of the fashion world’s most infamous designers gathering together to present their fall/winter collections for the end of this year. Among these designers are Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Zac Posen and many others.

One designer that stood out among the rest this season was Michael Kors. His fall collection was particularly intriguing due to the fact that many of the pieces he created were quite ordinary, but were made incredible on the runway. A huge part of his collection was nontraditional camouflage print, which was utilized all throughout his collection of tops, bottoms and even fur coats.

Also included in the fall collection was a very unusual trend, but Kors pulled it off. He mixed the camo print with bright neon pops of color in his shoes and accessories.

This duo of neon colors and camo reminded some viewers of hunters who wear camo and bright neon orange when hunting for deer in the woods.

Many designers would not be able to pull these two very different styles together, but in Kors’ collection it worked.

Another style for fall that Kors put into his collection was structured outfits and mixing different types of fabrics.

Leather and a tweed-like fabric were dominant in the collection.

Another designer who is new to the Fashion Week scene is Rachel Zoe. Zoe has built her

career as a stylist to celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. She has now decided to step into the world of designing and create her own fall 2013 collection. This collection reflects her vintage bohemian and chic style from beginning to end. In the collection, she shows multiple pieces, especily seperates.

Separates, such as blazers and blouses, were huge at Fashion Week and are incredibly versatile and suited for any style or body type. Instead of only being able to wear one dress once, separates can be mixed and worn with different pieces to create a new look every time. She puts together different types of fabrics and textures, like leather pants and a chunky knit.

Another fabric Zoe used in her collection was fur, and she utilizes the material in a different and specific way: the fur coats have a ‘70s feel, and the fur is longer when compared to how other designers showed it on the runway. In these coats she also, once again, integrated another fabric to revive the fur look. She uses leather in the fur to create a rock and roll vibe which she is known for wearing herself.

Zoe also brought the menswear look to the show, along with many designers which was a continuation from the trend of last season. When women think of suits, they think of stuffy, large clothing that swallows them and has no style.

Zoe created suits that are very feminine but still could be worn in the workplace. Another part of her collection that stood out were the accessories, which is how Zoe began in the design world. The bags used in her

Additionally, the hats created for her collection show people how to add to their looks in a different way, since many people do not usually wear hats on

an everyday basis.

While these are just a few designers that stood out during Fashion Week, all of the designers were phenomenal. Fashion Week is also currently underway in Milan, and is to begin in Paris on Feb. 26.

crazy good. I’m really pumped.

I was very impressed,� Coe said.

Although Coe has never attended Bonnaroo, he said he will definitely be in attendance, and there are a few names that stuck out to him. “I’m excited to see Animal Collective and Kendrick Lamar and Wu-Tang Clan,�

Coe said. “I want to see Death Grips really bad actually.

They’re crazy.�

But the big namers won’t be the only ones headlining the show. The festival has a history of always bringing out underground musicians. Many well-known artists, especially in the Americana and indie rock genres, became popular through their presence at Bonnaroo. This year some of those lesser known names including Portugal., The Man, Local Natives, Alt-J, Walk the Moon, The Tallest Man On Earth, JD McPherson, Death Grips and Django Django.

For Jeremy Boyd, senior in journalism and electronic media, there’s one name said he would be most excited to see: “Tom Petty, because I’m an old-school musical guy.�

The festival begins Thursday, June 13, and will continue to Sunday, June 16.

Tickets will go on sale Feb. 23, starting at $234.50.

For the full headliners list, visit Bonnaroo’s official website, www.bonnaroo.com.

Other performers will be announced at a later date.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of the year, and summer music festivals are releasing their lineups. At the top of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest list is what has grown to be one of the most well-known: Bonnaroo.

Huge names were put out for the four-day June festival held in Manchester, Tenn.

Headliners include Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, A$AP Rocky, Nas and Bjork.

Americana music seems to be the majority of the more than 100 artists performing, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubtful there will be any complaints, given the way the genre has exploded this past year. The Lumineers, Matt & Kim, Wilco and Of Monsters and Men are all scheduled to be there.

In addition, a variety of indie rock bands will either be returning to the Bonnaroo stages or be new to the scene, such as Passion Pit, the xx, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Gaslight Anthem and The Dirty Projectors.

Hip-hop and R&B legends Wu-Tang Clan and R. Kelly will perform, and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, whose recent album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heist,â&#x20AC;? skyrocketed on the music charts after the popularity of their single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrift Shop,â&#x20AC;? will be present as well.

Will Coe, freshman in linguistics, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to hear big name artists performing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought (the lineup) was

Track and field head to SEC championships John Felix Contributor On Friday, UT’s men’s and women’s track and field teams will depart for Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships.

The competition begins Friday and continues throughout the weekend, concluding on Sunday.

The season has been filled with record performances and new school records from individuals and the team as a whole.

Austin Whitelaw broke UT’s indoor freshman 5,000 meter record with a time of 14:18 and Linda Hadfield broke the UT women’s pole vault record with a height of 13-5 ¾ feet (4.11 meters). Freshman pole vaulter Jacob Blankenship not only won his first three collegiate meets as a Vol but set a freshman school record clearing a height of 18-0.5 feet (5.51 meters) and was named SEC co-freshman of the week. Cameron Brown broke the freshman weight throw record throwing 61-8.5 feet.

Last year, the Vols finished seventh out of 10 teams while the Lady Vols finished fourth of 12 teams. Both teams are looking to improve on these finishes, and J.J. Clark, head director of track and field, expects nothing less.

“Every weekend we’ve been improving, and the team is in the best form they have been in this year. So my expectations are to

perform the best they can possibly be,” Clark said. “I believe we will see more competitive running, jumping and throwing from our team collectively, so I expect a better performance throughout the entire team.”

Clark said he is excited to see all of the events, but particularly the pole vault. The team has shown a kind of depth throughout the season that Clark is looking forward to witnessing further.

Sophomore Nick Kaiser was unable to compete due to injury but will be cheering his team on regardless.

“The guys seem fired up and look ready to run fast,” Kaiser said.

The Vols have two returning indoor All-Americans with vaulter Chase Brannon and thrower Matthew Hoty. The Lady Vols have three All-Americans with sprinter Martinique Octave and middle distance runners Kianna Ruff and Mijgia Snapp.

After this weekend the athletes that qualify with finishing marking in top places in the national rankings will go back to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the NCAA Division-I National Championships, which begin March 8.

The performances during the indoor season will be good indicators of the performances to Tara Sripunvoraskul • The Daily Beacon come in the outdoor season and can give the athletes some good A Tennessee track and field runner sprints in a race during the Sea Relays on Tom Black Track on April 14, 2012. momentum to perform well.

UT is competing in the SEC Championships this week in Fayetteville, Ark.

This past weekend I watched the Maryland Terrapins beat the then-No. 2 Duke Blue Devils, 83-81.

It was a great game, but let me clarify.

I’m not a Duke fan or a Maryland fan. I don’t like Mike Krzyzewski and I wouldn’t know Mark Turgeon if I saw him in the street, but I loved watching that game.

It wasn’t the prettiest game to watch (Maryland alone had 26 turnovers), but there was

something beautiful about it.

Maybe it was the Terps’ true freshman guard, Seth Allen.

He made the two game-winning points.

The score was tied at 81-81 with 2.8 seconds left when Allen was sent to the line for two. As the camera zoomed in on his face, I watched him look up at the goal and smile.

At first, I was concerned.

This punk kid was getting ready for the most important play of his collegiate career (thus far) and he was goofing off on the line.

Then I realized he was probably more nervous than he had ever been before. At that moment, there was nothing he could do but smile.

He shot and scored.

What I loved seeing was the Maryland fans and, particularly, the students.

As a Tennessean, born and raised in Knoxville, I’ve seen similar excitement and passion at UT. But, if I’m being honest, it’s been awhile. Like 15 years.

Watching the students at Maryland flash mob, do the Harlem Shake (if this is the last Harlem Shake video you see, see this one), cheer their team on to a last-minute win and then storm the court, was amazing. It made me hurt for the glory days of UT football

and ache for the future of UT basketball.

When I think about the winning streak Florida currently holds over us and former players like Eric Berry, Tobias Harris and Chris Lofton, I only get more discouraged. I think about where the Vols were, where they could have been, where they could be and where they are now but maybe I’m focusing on the wrong stats.

The men’s basketball team just beat Kentucky by 30 points.

The 117th football team is about to take the field with a brand new coaching staff and the goal of rejuvenating the Tennessee Volunteers.

Maybe Cuonzo Martin and Butch Jones are the very keys the Vols need to succeed.

Maybe they can get their programs where they need to be.

Maybe.

Maybe we, as fans, can help.

Maybe we can be the extra push or boost that gets our teams over the edge. Maybe we can flash mob and Harlem Shake and storm the court.

Whatever it takes.
