SYSTEM ERROR Privacy settings block voting, delay SGA election results Preston Peeden Associate Editor For Amplify, Engage and Baker/ Atchley, the roller coaster that is the SGA elections will continue for one more day.

In a surprise turn of events, the SGA Election Commission announced that due to technical difficulties in this year’s new voting system, the results for the election will be postponed until Friday. Polls will be reopened today for students who were blocked from voting.

“We have run into one small situation that is going to prohibit us from unveiling the official results of the SGA election tonight,” Will Logan, the SGA Election Commissioner and a senior in microbiology, said.

“When we were incorporating our brand new voting system there was

a very small statistic of students that were not able to vote.”

That “statistic” consisted of students who had selected a strict privacy setting when setting up their NetIDs and passwords.

“When students generate their NetIDs and passwords, they are able to make those private,” Logan said.

“So essentially this system wasn’t allowed access to their passwords.

So that’s why their NetIDs and their passwords were not synching up.”

This glitch was best summed up

by Associate Dean of Students Jeff Cathey, who likened it to a someone not wanting to have their name appear in a phone book.

“A student can say that they don’t want their name and information listed in the UT Directory,” Cathey said. “… These are all students who wouldn’t show up in ‘People Search.’”

For this specific group of UT students, and them alone, the polls will be reopened today at 8 a.m.

“We are slated to generate the same ballot and make it available to these students that have theis specific incident and allow them the opportunity to vote,” Logan said. “ ... We want to emphasize that in no way was the election flawed.

Everyone that voted was accounted for, but we just wanted to make sure that as a body, we are making this as fair and as equal as possible.”

The commission was not informed about the discrepency until the last minute.

“Right now, we had had a few issues brought to our attention by students who were attempting to vote,” Logan said. “A lot of the issues we were able to resolve on the spot. And we didn’t actually encounter this issue until 4:30 (Tuesday)

Around Rocky Top

afternoon, this specific incident.

There were students with solvable issues, but this was the first unsolvable issue we encountered.”

Logan was also adamant that this problem was not through the fault or error of anyone.

“This is due to a technical error that is not resolvable by these students or by any member of the Election Commission or the Dean of Students Office,” Logan said.

The commission also made note that when the results are finalized, the process will be the same as it would have been yesterday.

“This body has to meet to certify the results of the election,” Logan said. “We will do the same thing at 3 o’clock (today) as long as the circumstances we’ve laid out can be incorporated. It will be certified by this body and revealed to the campaign.”

Confucius Institute makes campus debut Justin Joo

Cheng Wang, a former UT faculty member, leads a colloquium on “Numerical stability and convergence for incompressible Euler equation” in Ayres Hall on March 21.

For those working on the campaigns themselves, the announcement came as a surprise. But despite the disappointment, some, like Daniel Aycock, a strategic advisor for the Amplify campaign and a senior in accounting, were satisfied with the commission’s decision.

“Of course we all wanted results (yesterday),” Aycock said. “But I think this is the most responsible way to handle a technical difficulty.

Those students deserve the chance to cast their vote and we’ll just have to wait until (Friday).”

Ultimately, Logan stressed the need for the election, which Cathey said had drawn the votes of nearly 25 percent of the undergraduate population, to be fair for all voters.

“At the end of the day, we want to say that this election was complete, it was fair and it was equal,” he said.

Staff Writer UT will soon gain an incredible new outlet for connecting the campus directly to China in the form of the Confucius Institute.

The Confucius Institute is a non-profit program that provides resources throughout the U.S. and abroad for both credit and non-credit courses in Chinese language and culture, helps sponsor cultural events and works as a means to connect the universities directly with China. UT is the third university in Tennessee to have one.

Having an institute on campus was a collaborative effort between UT; Southeast University in Nanjing, China; and HANBAN, a subsidiary of the Chinese Ministry of Education. The Institute’s head office will be housed in the International House, with Dr. Shih-Lung Shaw, a geography professor, serving as the inaugural director.

“When UT was first applying for a Confucius Institute, I was not heavily involved,” Shaw said of his hiring as the Institute’s director. “But since I served as the department head of geography … and also over the years, I’ve been involved in building up these kind of extensive relationships with different universities in China and these kind of agreements with UT … that’s how I got this job.”

Shaw said that the Confucius Institute will not only be a resource for those studying Chinese language and culture, but it will also be a resource to other departments and organizations at

UT. He cited examples such as working with the College of Business Administration to connect UT business majors with students in China who are studying business, working with the study abroad program and helping sponsor events related to Chinese culture.

Shaw also explained that the Confucius Institute will not only serve the university’s students and faculty, also but the community at large. The non-credit courses will be available for the general public to take. Initially, the courses would consist of basic, intermediate and business Chinese language courses. Shaw estimated that these classes would be conducted around ten times a semester and cost around $10 per class.

“So hopefully, this will be a win-win situation … to the UT community,” Shaw said. “We are not just limiting this just to ... Chinese language and culture. In fact, we would like to be there for the Confucius Institute so that everyone can be involved.”

A ribbon cutting ceremony commemorating the grand opening of the institute will be at 3:30 p.m. on April 12 in front of the I-House. Chancellor Jimmy Cheek, System President Joe DiPietro, administrators from Southeast University and other campus dignitaries will be in attendance.

Refreshments will be served afterward.

Later at 7:30 p.m., a variety of performers from both UT and Southeast University will take the stage in the Alumni Memorial Building’s Cox

Auditorium. The “East Meets West” performance will feature traditional Chinese performers, WUOT employee Todd Steed and his bluegrass band and members of the UT Jazz Program.

Both of the events are free and open to the public. Parking for the ribbon cutting can be found in the Lake Avenue parking garage; Staff Lot 9 can be used for the “East Meets West” performance.

UT started the process of getting a Confucius Institute on campus around 2 years ago. However, with two Institutes already in place at the University of Memphis and Middle Tennessee State University, that process was not immediately successful.

“So for a while, the HANBAN office, the Confucius Institute headquarters, was thinking whether or not we really needed three Confucius Institutes in the state of Tennessee,” Shaw said with a laugh. “But because we are the flagship university, and also because there’s no Confucius Institute in East Tennessee, HANBAN eventually decided it’s a good idea to have Confucius Institute at UT in Knoxville.”

Qi Fu, a graduate teaching assistant at the I-House, will be at the inaugural ceremony providing translation assistance to those coming from China to the ceremony. For Fu, the Confucius Institute is not only a good educational resource but also a fascinating prospect for the university to be working across borders with China.

continued from Page 1 “It’s a really honorable thing that’s happening for both UT and Southeast University and China,” the human resource management grad student said. “This is collaboration between a U.S. institution and a Chinese institution, so it will be interesting to see how it’s going to proceed.”

And Fu isn’t the only I-House staff member looking forward to the Confucius Institute being opened.

Michaela Clements and Cameron Hensley, both student assistants at the I-House minoring in Chinese, were both excited for the Confucius Institutes presence at the I-House for the opportunities it could provide to those studying Chinese.

“Well it’s definitely a good thing,” Clements, a junior Spanish and global business major, said, “… considering there’s not a lot of options for students who want to learn Chinese.”

Hensley was also looking forward to the ribbon cutting ceremony so that he could see the institute finally open.

“I’m definitely excited for it,” Hensley, a freshmen accounting major, Chinese minor said. “I’ve gotten to see it slowly build up … and all the work that’s been put in to getting ready for it, so I’m definitely excited.”

Laura Bower, director of public relations & social media at The Tombras Group, talks to students about the best practices for effective personal branding in the Scripps Lab.

Panel focuses on importance of education Samantha Smoak Staff Writer Almost a hundred people crammed into the Toyota Auditorium following U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s lecture at the Howard H. Baker Center for Public Policy on Wednesday. They stayed for a panel on kindergarten through graduate school education which featured business and community leaders as well as philanthropists and entrepreneurs.

The overarching theme of the panel was how good education can improve the quality of life for citizens.

“We spend a lot of time analyzing data, and one of the (things) … we look at (is) income going up one axis and educational attainment going across the other,” Richard Rhoda, executive director of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, said. “There’s such a pattern … a direct correlation between personal income … and the education attainment level … .”

Randy Boyd, the governor’s advisor on higher education, agreed with Rhoda.

“If you get a community college education, your income in your lifetime will be 400 percent greater than if you don’t,”

Boyd said.

Nissa Dahlin-Brown, associate director of the Baker Center, echoed the panel members in her own evaluation of education’s effect on earnings.

“Education is just the foundation of everything,” DahlinBrown said. “It’s pretty dismal if you don’t have a year or two (of higher education) out of high school. Your earnings are very low.”

Pam Trainor, a member of the Knox County School Board, pointed out that a successful education requires engaged families. She stressed the importance of parent organizations.

“The PTA world … (is) an advocacy group … that’s a huge voice for children,” Trainor said. “We have to find the individual connect in each school … that will get that parental support … Kids love seeing their families in the building, that’s huge (for them).”

Another challenge presented to educators is helping children that are falling behind. Jennifer Evans, vice president of public policy in the workforce development division at the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, said she hopes that technology can assist struggling students.

“I think with technology you can kind of personalize (educa-

tion) and go at your own pace,” Evans said. “The kids that have already mastered it can advance … Technology (is a) tool, not as an end … (but a) means for personalized learning can help a lot of these kids.”

Anthony Hancock, a special education teacher at Bearden Middle School, agreed with Evans and said developing high quality education for preschool programs is essential.

“Literacy is very important …

Early childhood development in terms of reading is fundamental (and) … we need to increase … vocabulary at a very early age,” Hancock, also a former wide receiver at UT and for Kansas

City Chiefs, said. “High quality in those areas … (are) … the areas we … have to increase.”

Bob Rider, dean of the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences, stressed the importance of education from a young age, and the impact that falling behind can have on a child’s future.

“One of the real sad facts I’ve come across in my experience as an educator is that prison officials look to see what the third grade failure rate is to determine how many prison beds they’re going to need ten years down the line,” Rider said. “If that’s not sad, I don’t know what is.”

Gamers team up against cancer Emily DeLanzo Managing Editor Some students play intramural sports; some work in research labs. And some students sit and play video games for hours on end.

For those gamers on campus, the opportunity has finally come to put their video game prowess to good use raising money for St. Jude’s Hospital at Saturday’s “Play for a Cure” event in the UC Down Under.

Josh Campbell, a senior in mathematics, organized “Frag

for a Cure,” the event’s predecessor, last April. The goal was to gather gaming students for the benefit of St. Jude’s Hospital. This year, the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH), East Area Housing Residence Halls and the League of Legends Club came together to host the event again, this time with the name “Play for a Cure.”

“Our goal for ‘Frag for a Cure’ and ‘Play for a Cure’ is the same,” Campbell said. “We want to unite people with com-

mon interests to benefit children and their families.”

“Play for a Cure” will have tournaments of ping pong, bowling, “League of Legends,” “Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm” and “Super Smash Brothers Brawl.”

“We’re just looking to get as many people as we can just to raise money and awareness for a good cause,” Campbell said.

In addition to the satisfaction of raising money for a good cause, participants have the opportunity to win various prizes in the tournaments.

Prizes have been donated from restaurants, companies and places around campus.

Last year’s similar event raised more than $350 and had 70 people participate.

Campbell hopes to see that number increase due to the greater variety of events.

“We diversified this year’s events to try and draw people from different blocks of life,” Campbell said on the addition of bowling and ping pong.

Tanner Zerick, a sophomore in English, got involved through the “League of Legends” Club.

He said he was excited to offer his talents to St. Jude’s, a pediatric research hospital that was ranked the No. 1 children’s cancer hospital by U.S. News & World Report in 2010.

“I spend a lot of my time playing video games, and it’s refreshing to know this time will be well-spent,” Zerick said.

To participate in the “Play for a Cure” tournament, students must register in advance and pay $5 per person per event.

Registration locations include Gibbs Hall, Massey Hall, Volunteer Hall, Apartment Residence Hall and Laurel Apartments all day today. For late registration, students may sign up at the UC Down Under on Saturday from 11 to 11:30 a.m. The tournament begins at noon.

Campbell, as a graduating senior, hopes to see this event return next year.

“We want to grow the event and have it a staple on campus for more than just two years,” Campbell said. “It’s a great cause and a good break from the monotony of classes.”

‘Bates Motel,’ a prequel to the hit Alfred Hitchcock film ‘Psycho,’ first broadcasted on A&E on March 18.

‘Bates Motel’ excels with strong leads Preston Peeden Associate Editor When A&E announced plans to create “Bates Motel,” a quasi-prequel series to the Hitchcock classic “Psycho,” the network executives must have been thinking that Monday night’s TV slots needed to get a whole lot weirder.

Telling the story of a teenage Norman Bates and his overbearing mother Norma, “Bates Motel” is quite possibly the creepiest and most unnerving show on television.

The series, which was developed by former “Lost” producer Carlton Cuse, was able to combine intrigue, murder, marijuana and Oedipal overtones, all in the first episode.

The weirdest thing of all, however, is that through the first three episodes, “Bates Motel” works, and that’s because of the strength of its leads.

The relationship between Norma and Norman, played

by Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore respectively, is the driving force of the series.

Highmore, who came to prominence after his performance in “Finding Neverland,” plays the young Norman, a 16-year-old who after finding his father dead from an accident, picks up and moves with his mother to Oregon to run a motel (which seems to be an odd grieving process, but it works with the way Highmore plays it perfectly). As Norman Bates is

supposed to be charming and quiet on the one hand and a budding sociopathic murderer on the other, Highmore shows a subtle range in what is truly a difficult role that makes even the most cynical viewers involved in his development.

And as for Norma, whose overbearing nature is what fosters Norman’s psychosis, Farmiga is absolutely perfect at playing an overly attached, impulsive mother who espouses a motto of doing anything to protect her son.

Outside of Highmore and Farmiga, the remaining cast of characters leaves much to be desired. Jungian archetypes abound in the acting of the supporting characters, especially with “Lost” holdover Nestor Carbonell (who was probably casted through the combination of knowing Cuse and having the singularly most man-pretty eyelashes of all time) as a bloodhound sheriff investigating the Bates’ seedy past. Other characters include Max Thieriot as Dylan Massett, Norman’s angsty and shady half-brother, and Nicole Peltz as Bradley Martin, one of Norman’s two possible love interests (well really, the number is three if you count Norma). Luckily for “Bates Motel,” however, these characters occupy only minor moments on screen, as the series is dominated by the much more interesting story of Norma and Norman.

Aside from the minor character casting, another issue for the series is the

overt creepiness of it. While Norman and Norma being weird is well within the bounds of imagination, “Bates Motel” doesn’t do itself any favors in terms of believability by making the entire world the the couple inhabits filled with weird people. It’s almost as if A&E is trying its best to foster a David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” vibe in every character. Not only are their neighbors one-dimensional, but some are rapists, murderers, pot-growers or even sadomasochists. It’s a town filled with so many deviant characters that the National Sex Offenders’ registry would mark this seemingly quaint Oregon town as one gigantic blue dot. The story would flow much more easily if the Bates’ were the epicenter of weirdness, not just another drop in the pond.

While “Bates Motel” is definitely not perfect, the positives far outweigh the problems. There are character holes and writing problems, but the strength of Highmore and Farmiga’s performances make it an hour worth watching.

While only in its third episode, “Bates Motel” is just starting to hit its stride in terms of plot lines for the rest of the season, and if the past sample has been any indication of things to come, it’s safe to assume that Monday nights will get a little bit weirder, in a good way.

“Bates Motel” airs at 10 p.m. on Mondays on A&E.

The recent release of “Olympus Has Fallen” may be untimely considering the current political issues brewing with North Korea. Some might believe a conspiracy to destroy our nation actually exists, not making this gripping, action-packed film ideal for those weary in their faith of this country’s power.

Betrayed by one of its own, the White House has fallen under attack. After being notified of a nearby aerial attack, the president (Aaron Eckhart), some of the cabinet members and the diplomat of South Korea go into the bunker, but the man believed to be with the diplomat is actually the ringleader of this act of terrorism. This ringleader wants to destroy the country by detonating its own nuclear missiles while they remain in their silos, structures that hold bulk material. To do that, all he needs are three private codes held exclusively by White House officials.

As was planned by the corrupt secret service agent, the bunker becomes the main stage for the torturing of the hostages.

When the agent was exposed, his reason for helping the terrorist was because of the president’s disappointing foreign policy and out-ofcontrol spending. However, despite the operative’s animosity toward the president, he relies on his naivety to set up the operation. After all, it was against protocol to let anyone other than the president’s cabinet in the bunker.

Although the president is

Gerard Butler stars in ‘Olympus Has Fallen’. given credit for what happens in this country, it was his former guard, Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), who brought salvation.

When Banning heard of the attack, he infiltrated the White House in search of the president’s son. As he slinks through hallways lined with collapsed bodies, he quickly realizes the severity of the situation: it is no longer just the little boy that needed saving, but the entire country.

Butler is a highly talented and experienced actor. He brings his sarcastic charm as seen in other films such as “The Bounty Hunter” and “The Ugly Truth.” This time, he’s only flirting with danger as he outwits the terrorist’s soldiers, gaining the upper hand. Butler channels his inner warrior, a side of the man previously witnessed in the film “300,” as he singlehandedly takes down several of the enemy. Deviating from the expected is what brings about the greatest change.

Banning has no obligation or authority to step in, but his courageous actions saved the lives of millions of innocent people.

Another courageous

character was Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan (Melissa Leo). McMillan is a spirited woman with no plans of giving up her code.

This petite, frail woman puts up a serious fight against the enemy, refusing to relinquish the code even after receiving several devastating blows.

Finally the president, fearing for her life, begs McMillan to comply and give the man what he wanted. Movie watchers will find themselves rooting for Leo, an actress with nearly 30 years of experience in front of the lens.

This movie is filled with selfless acts, but it shows the impact that just one person can make. It takes a strong person to be able to put him or herself in harm’s way for the greater good and in this thrilling film it was for the good of the entire nation.

Butler’s performance is phenomenal and stands out in the film. He outshines all of his cast members as he goes to great lengths to save his country, becoming the hero of the nation. “Olympus has Fallen” should definitely make it to everyone’s list of must-see movies.

Education should end harmful practice Emily DeLanzo Managing Editor With graduation looming near and the constant reminder that I won’t have a permanent job until I’m probably in my thirties, I keep wishing back to when I was eight.

At the age of eight, my biggest complaint in life was that my mother wouldn’t let me clash polka dots with stripes. Sometimes I had to eat brussel sprouts. Occasionally my homework would get in the way of my pleasure reading.

But I never had to think about anything past those woes. Until the age of sixteen, I was completely oblivious to the undertakings of my own body. But for young girls across the world, their misunderstanding of their bodies’ daily functions began when I was too busy worrying about multiplication tables and vegetables.

Female Genital Mutilation is by definition the removal of all or parts of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The most extreme type of this procedure is where the clitoris and inner labia are removed. Then the outer labia are sewn together. A hole is left for urinating and menstruation.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 28 countries practice FGM. These primarily Islamic states in Africa and parts of the Middle East do not require but encourage female circumcision.

Young girls from the age of a few days old until puberty are clipped and sewn,

often without anesthesia and with scissors, knives or razors. The WHO estimates that only 18 percent of these dangerous procedures occur in a hospital or by a certified doctor.

The WHO estimates that as many as 120 million women have undergone FGM. There are no health benefits and only increased risk of infection, toxic shock syndrome and potentially death. The reasoning within these cultures behind the common practice of FGM falls to the importance of purity.

It has become so accepted that some families refuse to allow their sons to marry women who are not circumcised. Once again, on their wedding night, women are ripped back open.

This isn’t just a third world problem and isn’t limited to only Islamic nation states. In the United States, an estimated 220,000 women have undergone female genital mutilation because of the cultural tradition according to an analysis from the 2000 Census data conducted by the African Women’s Health Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Three years ago in Georgia, a woman was arrested after performing the procedure on her infant daughter to remove her clitoris.

The woman was born and raised in Africa and had been cut before she hit puberty.

To me, there’s a fine line between cultural differences and crimes against humanity. The start of a solution lies in education.

Educating young women in hard-hit countries of the health risks associated with cutting and educating students that this type of lifestyle and habit is still encouraged today is critical to stop the violence of FGM. — Emily DeLanzo is a senior in environmental studies.

‘Sex Week’ meets campus needs Chaos Theory by

Sarah Russell “Sex Week” at UT, an event that has gained international attention, officially begins its lineup of speakers, workshops and discussions on Monday. The hype surrounding it will undoubtedly only increase once the featured events take place. “Sex Week” has been an astoundingly polarizing event, one that has provoked both vociferous support and equally strong contempt.

Many would attribute this division to political ideologies, that “liberal” and “secular” minded people support “Sex Week” while “conservative” people do not. Attributing the conflict over “Sex Week” to partisan politics vastly complicates the issue that “Sex Week” presents. At its base, whether or not someone supports “Sex Week” has little to do with liberal or conservative ideas and everything to do with the concepts of free speech, education and academic freedom.

“Sex Week” makes a deliberate effort to present speakers and events that will look at sex and sexual issues from numerous perspectives. For every event that is said to be “promoting” sex, there are others designed to discuss what Christianity has to say about sex.

For every event that encourages open discussions about sex, there are events to address serious sexual issues, such as rape and sexual assault. “Sex Week” was never intended to be an event that pushed one idea or perception of sex, because sex is not and never has been simple and one-sided. Any lengthy event covering a topic as broad as sex must address its topic from numerous perspectives, and “Sex Week” does.

There also seems to be a faulty idea that educating college students about sex will somehow “make” them have sex or cause them to

become “promiscuous.” Statistics unequivocally show that sex education decreases pregnancy and STD rates, as well as preparing students to better understand the emotions that accompany sexual encounters.

Firstly, the events are entirely optional — no one is forcing students to attend. And secondly, we live in a society that is not shy about sex in the least. It is literally everywhere in books, magazines, television and movies, not to mention how widely it is discussed on college campuses. If anything will “force” students to have sex, it will be media and peer pressure, not events about sex education. In fact, hopefully those events will help students take the disjointed and often confusing messages about sex around them and make sense of them in a way that will keep them healthy and happy.

Finally, supporting “Sex Week” ultimately means supporting the right of students to explore and discuss relevant issues, especially on the very campuses where they are pursuing academic degrees. The premise of a solid undergraduate education is to teach students how to think critically and analytically.

Students in every discipline are taught how to interpret data and issues and are consistently reminded to never take information given to them at face value. Scientists must perform experiments to prove their hypotheses; historians must critically read their primary sources to understand what people many years ago were trying to say.

Just as students are taught to think for themselves in their disciplines, they should also apply that kind of analysis to things like sex that they encounter every day outside of the classroom. In the same vein as any other academic event, “Sex Week” is intended to present multiple perspectives on an intrinsically complicated and relevant topic to students.

Supporting “Sex Week” is supporting the ability of UT students to learn about sex for themselves and to make healthy, informed choices.

Indeed we are different from other animals in that fewer principles of social behavior are communicated only by gesticulation, and more by words. But what they have undeniably in common is their utility in maintaining and fostering the unity of a group. People possess a linguistic version of the near universal trend toward social unity measurable in life forms at every level. Perhaps the Darwinist dogged overemphasis on competition among selfish units, both individuals and groups – every choice sinisterly guided by the blind programming of selfish genes — is by itself becoming something of a caricature. Disease microbes that kill all their victims perish themselves as a result of their aggression.

I find contention with neo-Darwinist zoologists who claim that the accumulation of random genetic mutations is the prime evolutionary driver and major source of evolutionary novelty. Perhaps even more critical is symbiogenesis, the evolution of new species from the coming together of members of different species. We may walk tall on the food chain, but we cast a much longer evolutionary shadow.

But why argue with the standard Darwinian formula? There’s nothing controversial about asserting that understanding the basis of our behavior and cultural sophistication lies in our rich evolutionary past. Physically we are so close to the animals, a truth so ironically obvious yet hard to grasp. The cognitive structure of apes and birds is evidence enough: a capacity for self-recognition in mirrored surfaces, as well as the sprouting amongst them not just of culture but of tools and personality analogies.

So where is the point of contention?

In a way there is, or should be, none. It would certainly violate Occam’s razor to think that our forms can be so analogous with so many creatures but not the ability to process such complex emotions and other abstractions.

And yet, though we are so genetically close to the chimp -- not to mention a crow, a dolphin,

an elephant, and even an octopus – our brains are just so different. A consistent extrapolation between species? That is what Darwin proposed, but identifying where the most glaring inconsistencies – like language – are bridged remains pretty much unknown.

I have a feeling the anger does not lie in some reliance on human exceptionalism, wherever that might take one. Perhaps a freak mutation that somehow facilitated our rapid cerebral growth? Maybe it’s possible, but there’s not a bit of evidence for it.

In a sense we should seek to bring our inflated perceptions of humanity back down to Earth; our behavior is practically dominated by symbolic expression. People kill for principle or engage in reckless altruism, where thousands cheer their teams while others choose ascetic isolation. Genes active in the development of the brain, for instance, have changed more in the human lineage than in the chimp lineage, and so has the gene called FOXP2, which relates to speech. In fact, researchers have identified 585 shared genes that have evolved faster in humans than in chimps. But there is still much that we do not know about what makes us so different from apes. Fortunately, we have only been searching for a decade and discoveries will continue to accumulate.

Evolutionary neurobiology has made similar advances. We now know a great deal about which parts of the brain have become more differentiated in humans than in apes, and what functions they play in memory, speech, hand articulation, and so on.

Much has been learned as well about how light, sound, temperature, resistance, and other impressions are transmitted to the brain by our sense organs. Still, despite all this progress, the field remains in its infancy. Those questions that matter the most to us remain shrouded in mystery: how physical phenomena (like the chemical and electric signals by which neurons communicate) become feelings, sensations, concepts, and all the other elements of consciousness, and how the mind, a reality whose properties include free will and selfawareness, emerges from the diversity of these experiences.

Lady Vols’ season in perspective

Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor It has been three days since the Lady Vols’ season came to an end at the hands of Louisville.

These few days have provided ample time to sit back and evaluate Tennessee’s season and really put the 86-78 Elite Eight loss in perspective of the entire body of work.

Inside a vacuum of the NCAA Tournament, the loss to Louisville is quite disappointing and confusing after the strong outing against Oklahoma just days before.

The Lady Vols shot poorly, particularly in the first half, but bad shooting nights are going to happen. Some nights they just aren’t falling. Even without electric scoring UT still had an opportunity, down by four with less than two minutes to go, to win.

But looking back at the loss

compared to the rest of the season, it is not all that strange.

The loss was one where the Lady Vols didn’t play strong defense — especially in the first half when they made turnovers and dug themselves too large a hole to dig out of.

But in reality these are things that Tennessee has struggled with at various points throughout the year.

They surrendered over 80 points four times in 2013. In those games the Lady Vols were 1-3 — the only win coming in a 88-81 overtime win over Middle Tennessee State University.

The first was Holly Warlick’s inaugural game as coach against UT-Chattanooga, MTSU was the second and the third was UT’s first SEC loss of the year when it traveled to Missouri on Feb. 3.

All of these games were similar to Tuesday night’s defeat: poor defense on the paint and not getting back after a made basket.

The majority of the Lady Vols’ turnovers came in the first half and contributed to the 15 point halftime deficit. They tightened up in the second half and kudos to Warlick and the team for getting their act together after halftime, but it was a problem in the

aforementioned losses as well.

The Lady Vols committed 26 turnovers against UTC, 19 against Missouri and 15 against the Cardinals.

Is this to say that Warlick’s first season at the helm of the Tennessee program was a failure? Not at all.

The first-year coach did a tremendous job, and if everyone is honest this is where the Lady Vols were speculated to see their season end — only at the hands of the Baylor Bears instead of Louisville.

I don’t think there is anyone who could have taken over for Pat Summitt and transitioned into a new era the way Warlick did this year. Sure, there are other great coaches around the country and other than a select few any coach in the women’s game would jump at the opportunity to be the coach of a program like Tennessee. But no one would have been as prepared and ready for the task like Warlick.

Arguably, the most noteworthy accomplishment of Warlick and her staff was getting the most out of senior Kamiko Williams. Even Summitt was not able to get the guard to give her all on the court night-in and night-out.

Matthew DeMaria • The Daily Beacon

The Lady Vols celebrate their close win against Texas A&M for the regular season SEC title in Thompson-Boling Arena on Feb. 28. that of Baylor, and they were out of the way. The idea that a No. 5 seed could beat a No. 1 seed Baylor and No. 2 seed Tennessee seemed improbable.

But credit goes to the Cardinals.

They were able to get the Lady Vols out of their game and did what they did against the Bears.

Hit their opponent in the mouth early and cling to life down the stretch as their opponent stormed back only to be thwarted by the lack of time remaining.

The Lady Vols lost because

The Lady Vols were picked to finish fourth in the SEC this year. They dispelled that and took the regular season conference championship, another notch for the first-year coach.

Was Tuesday night’s loss disappointing? Of course.

Tennessee was 40 minutes away from being back in the Final Four for the first time since 2008, now the longest drought in UT history.

It hurts because the biggest threat to UT’s dominance was

Louisville exploited the things Tennessee struggled with throughout the year. The team made it as far as everyone imagined at the start of the tournament and even further than was expected at the beginning of the year. I’d call that a success. — Austin Bornheim is a senior in journalism and electronic media. He can be reached at abornhei@utk.edu and followed on Twitter @ABornheim.

Friday, April 5, 2013 Sports Editor Lauren Kittrell

SPORTS to Longwood on Tuesday.

Sophomore infielder Parker Wormsley said that while the results from this past week don’t show it, the team has shown strides in improving.

“You can look at this past week and say that we didn’t perform well because we went 0-4, but I think we made a lot of strides,” Wormsley said. “While the results weren’t there, as a team we did some things pretty well, and we just need to build on that and come out here this weekend and try to get better and win some games.”

In game one of the series, the Vols will throw out Quillan to toe the rubber, who can hopefully get them off to a good start for the weekend. As a freshman, Quillan Matthew DeMaria • The Daily Beacon believes that this series could be a big stage for him and this young Volunteer team to prove what they can do.

“I think it is (a good stage to prove ourselves on),” Quillan said. “This is what we all came here for. We all got recruited to come play, and this is what you want growing up as a kid in Tennessee. You always dreamed of pitching for the University of Tennessee. You see South Carolina good year in, year out, so this what you even one person’s life, I would see that as a tremendous vic- dream of.”

While the Vols may not have tory.”

For freshman pitcher Aaron a very impressive overall record Quillan, losing all of his hair was at 13-14, they have played fanan easy choice because of what it tastic at home this season, going meant to his teammate and best 10-4 within the friendly confines of Lindsey Nelson Stadium. friend Andrew Lee. “It was different, but it was Wormsley believes that playing a for a good cause,” Quillan said. team of South Carolina’s caliber “One of the guys on the team, at home will be a definite plus, Andy — his aunt just passed but they still have to go out and away last night with cancer so it play baseball.

“That definitely helps,” was a pretty big deal to do it for him, and he was pretty happy Wormsley said. “Going on the about it so it wasn’t that hard of road in the SEC is tough to win because you are going to go a decision for me.”

But for all the fun the Vols into hostile crowds, but being at had on Thursday, their week- home, I think we are more comend series against No. 11 South fortable here. But when it’s all Carolina still looms on the cal- said and done, it’s still baseball, and we just have to go out there endar.

First pitches for the weekend five-game losing streak, which includes being swept by the No. series will occur at 6 p.m. on 3 Vanderbilt Commodores this Friday, 12:30 p.m. on Saturday past weekend and a 7-5 defeat and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Cancer Foundation in their fight against childhood cancer, there was a lot of laughing, chants of “No Guard!” toward fellow teammates, and of course, a lot of bald people parading around the locker room as they rubbed their bare heads.

“I am very proud to have our team and program involved in the fight against cancer,” head coach Dave Serrano said. “It is a horrible disease that effects the lives of too many families, including my own, and it is a great privilege to be able to do our part in standing up to prevent it from effecting others.
