New company eases tension of moving day Emilee Lamb Staff Writer Most college students cringe at the thought of moving day and rightfully so.

Moving can be an extreme hassle, especially at a large university like UT, but a new campus business aims to help solve that problem.

Campus Bellhops is a company that hires college students to be personal movers for students and their families who are relocating on or around campus.

The business was started

by Knoxville native Cameron Doody when he realized what a huge market the collegiate moving scene could provide.

“My co-founder, Stephen Vlahos, and I were finishing our seventh favor in two weeks helping friends move right before our senior year when the idea began,” said Doody, co-founder of Campus Bellhops. “We started at Auburn University in 2010.”

The Chattanooga based company has since expanded to serve a total of 86 colleges and universities.

and geology, said. “Also, talking about the differences and how it interacts with the caste system, which we do not have here … it was surprising to see that in some ways it’s similar in struggles, but the unique differences in their culture maybe emphasize (the issues) more.”

Hijras are defined as third gender individuals that are biologically male but have a feminine gender identity. The film follows a small group of hijras who have come from a myriad of environments and now live together as a new family.

Their tales of abuse, society’s intolerant system, sex work and strained familial relationships serve as the main themes throughout the documentary.

Students wait for the elevator during a move. Campus Bellhops is an innovative solution to collegiate moving, where students can hire students to help them move in or out of dorms.

In the documentary “That’s Okay,” a biological man in women’s clothes wanders the streets of Pune, India, begging for money and facing multiple levels of rejection.

The documentary was presented Monday in one of the first events of the controversial UT “Sex Week.” Produced by Brianna Rader, the co-founder of “Sex Week” and a junior in College Scholars, “That’s Okay” offers insight into the foreign world of transgender populations in India.

“I was not aware that the LGBT community is similar, at least in Rader’s perspective, to the LGBT community here,” Elizabeth Stanfield, a freshman in anthropology

Workshop educates faculty on use of iPads Two students receive prestigious scholarship Samantha Smoak Copy Editor

Staff Reports UT juniors Melissa Lee and Alex Houck have been recognized by the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program, which awards students studying mathematics, science and engineering.

Lee, a Haslam Scholar majoring in integrative neuroscience, was named a 2013 Goldwater Scholar. The 2013 Goldwater Scholars were selected based upon academic merit from a field of 1,107 students studying mathematics, science, and engineering, all of whom were nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide.

Those awarded will receive up to $7,500 per year for tuition, fees, books, and room and board.

Lee, of Brentwood, has studied the localization and temporal expression patterns of several proteins in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain under the watch of Rebecca Prosser, professor in Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology, since her freshman year. A research enthusiast, Lee is a co-founder and copresident of the Undergraduate Research Students Association and will serve as the editor in chief of Pursuit: The Journal

of Undergraduate Research for the 2013/2014 academic year. She serves on the Student Advisory Committee for both the Undergraduate Research and the Carnegie Community Engagement Advisory Committee. Lee wants to pursue her doctorate in neuroscience.

Alex Houck, who is studying neuropathology and neurolinguistics, received an honorable mention from the Goldwater Scholarship Program. Houck, of Knoxville, is active on campus as the founding copresident of UT’s Neuroscience Club and currently serves on the editorial board of Pursuit.

Houck has assisted with several laboratory studies at UT, including research on the molecular pathobiology of Alzheimer’s disease as well as the influence of prosody on the hemispheric processing of linguistic stimuli. In addition to his work at UT, Houck volunteers at the Cole Neuroscience Center, where he administers cognitive tests to patients with suspected cases of dementia.

He has independently collaborated with the Institute of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology. Houck aspires to become a physician scientist, studying the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases or neurolinguistics.

As a part of the Top 25 initiative, UT is taking steps to help train professors on how to use the latest technology.

That includes catching teachers up to speed on the utilization of devices that many students use in their daily routines.

UT’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) will host a faculty-focused workshop titled “How to Use your iPad” on Thursday in Greve Hall from 1-3 p.m.

“This workshop, it’s focused

on iPads, but you can use these techniques to any kind of mobile device,” Jean Derco, the executive director of the support group at OIT, said. “(We chose) the iPads for this first workshop … to just introduce folks to it that maybe aren’t Mac users but are interested in the iPad and wanted more basic (information) … not only how to use it in a classroom but the interface.”

Thursday’s workshop will cover the basics that users need to know to operate their iPad, including turning it on and off, downloading applications, storage and backups.

“A lot of these basic questions help you to be more efficient … whether for personal or instructional use,” Christina Goode, an IT specialist and instructor for development and training, said. “They (will learn) small things … in that intro class on just using the device more efficiently.”

Goode said that the basic workshop is still beneficial to those who are already using iPads. Faculty who have used their iPad for over a year have come and learned new things that made using their devices easier.

The follow up to the introductory class, titled “Mobile Technologies in the Classroom,” will go beyond the basic and discuss how mobile technology can be a tool in the classroom.

“In the second level class we’re focusing more on how you’re going to connect this piece of technology to the other technologies you have available for you in this classroom and use it as a presenters tool and a means of engagement,” Goode said.

Senior Kata Szekely returns a volley against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Barksdale Stadium on April 5. The Lady Vols won with a 4-2 win over Arkansas.

THIS DAY IN 1866 — ASPCA is founded On April 10, 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is founded in New York City by philanthropist and diplomat Henry Bergh, 54.

In 1863, Bergh had been appointed by President Abraham Lincoln to a diplomatic post at the Russian court of Czar Alexander II. It was there that he was horrified to witness work horses beaten by their peasant drivers. En route back to America, a June 1865 visit to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in London awakened his determination to secure a charter not only to incorporate the ASPCA but to exercise the power to arrest and prosecute violators of the law.

HISTORY

Back in New York, Bergh pleaded on behalf of “these mute servants of mankind” at a February 8, 1866, meeting at Clinton Hall. He argued that protecting animals was an issue that crossed party lines and class boundaries.

“This is a matter purely of conscience; it has no perplexing side issues,” he said. “It is a moral question in all its aspects.” The speech prompted a number of dignitaries to sign his “Declaration of the Rights of Animals.”

Bergh’s impassioned accounts of the horrors inflicted on animals convinced the New York State legislature to pass the charter incorporating the ASPCA on April 10, 1866. Nine days later, the first effective anti-cruelty law in the United States was passed, allowing the ASPCA to inves-

tigate complaints of animal cruelty and to make arrests.

1933 — FDR creates Civilian Conservation Corps On this day in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt establishes the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), an innovative federally funded organization that put thousands of Americans to work during the Great Depression on projects with environmental benefits.

In 1932, FDR took America’s political helm during the country’s worst economic crisis, declaring a “government worthy of its name must make a fitting response” to the suffering of the unemployed. He implemented the CCC a little over one month into his presidency as part of his administration’s “New Deal” plan for social and economic progress. The CCC reflected FDR’s deep commitment to environmental conservation. He waxed poetic when lobbying for the its passage, declaring “the forests are the lungs of our land [which] purify our air and give fresh strength to our people.”

The CCC, also known as “Roosevelt’s Tree Army,” was open to unemployed, unmarried U.S. male citizens between the ages of 18 and 26.

All recruits had to be healthy and were expected to perform hard physical labor. Blacks were placed in de-facto segregated camps, although administrators denied the practice of discrimination. Enlistment in the program was for a minimum of 6 months; many re-enlisted after their first term. Participants were paid $30 a month and often given supplemental basic and vocational education while they served. Under the guidance of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, CCC employees fought forest fires, planted trees, cleared and maintained access roads, re-seeded grazing lands and implemented soil-erosion controls. They built wildlife refuges, fish-rearing facilities, water storage basins and animal shelters. To encourage citizens to get out and enjoy America’s natural resources, FDR authorized the CCC to build bridges and campground facilities. From 1933 to 1942, the CCC employed over 3 million men.

She described how the hijras typically identify themselves as transgender (TG) around puberty and more often than not are forced out of their home and caste system. This results in these hijras adopting their own family structures within the supportive community that lives in the same area.

The levels of discrimination against the hijras followed them throughout their lives, affecting their success in school and depriving them

of all opportunity. They are barred from having a decent job, causing most to stoop to begging and carrying out sexual work in order to support themselves and to be turned away for the most basic of needs such as medical treatment.

For Niana Malvea, a junior in language and world business, Spanish and global studies who studied abroad in Asia, the film was a continuation of her understanding of the culture. While Malvea was abroad in India, she had been exposed to the differences in sexuality in Indian culture but did not have the opportunity to learn of its extent. Her experiences and knowledge of India allowed her to give

insight to the other students at the viewing on the different levels of diversity: religious, cultural, lingual and sexual.

She said that while parts of the culture support diversity and would be accepting of hijras, there are parts that crush it.

Stanfield, who has not yet studied abroad at UT, found the look into another culture’s definition of sexuality interesting.

“That they have ‘he,’ ‘she’ and a gender neutral noun says a lot about the culture, that they define that distinction,” Stanfield said.

Jackson, also an SGA senator for the College of Engineering, believes that technology use in the classroom should be encouraged.

“As technology advances, more doors open up to the resources they offer,” he said.

“There are some classes where you must have a computer or tablet in the classroom to be

successful. Others allow students to do what they wish on them that allow the student to be successful.”

As part of the expansion, the Campus Bellhops installation at UT is now able to get its feet off the ground and begin building business in Knoxville.

Despite the several thousand students that will be moving on and around campus this summer and in the fall, Doody expects that his company will only be playing a small role.

“If we can move two students out of every 100, we’ll be happy,” he said.

Campus Bellhops’ mission is to take the hassle out of moving day, something many college students can only

dream about.

“I might need a school bus to get all my stuff out of my room,” Erin Russell, a freshman in nursing, said. “I’m dreading the process of it.”

Although they don’t drive school buses, Campus Bellhops do provide transportation for their customers’ belongings.

“We provide move-ins, move-outs and across town moves requiring a moving truck,” Doody said. “We’ll book your truck, pick it up, drive and return it for you if you choose.”

Students who have moved into or out of a campus dorm can attest to the stress of moving day. It’s an all-day affair

Russell would gladly allow the chore to be passed on to someone else.

“If they would do the work for me, then sure, I would hire someone,” she said. “If I did it by myself it would take forever.”

The bellhops that provide moving services are students of the university they serve.

When the company arrived at UT, it brought part-time job opportunities with it.

“Our UT Campus Director has interviewed over 55 applicants and will begin the hiring process this week,” Doody said. “She will continue to hire student bellhops throughout

the summer and will have a full team of around 60-70 by the time August rolls around.”

Potential employees must be involved students who are strong enough to lift 60 pounds and dedicated to performing their job well.

Campus Bellhops holds a certain standard for its movers in order to fill its promise to customers of a hassle-free move.

“With us, you know exactly who you’re going to get: cleancut, well-educated, hardworking college students,” said Doody. “Prior to the move, customers receive an introductory email that includes a picture of the student bellhops who will be completing their move, who they are, where

they are from and what student organizations they are involved in.”

Campus Bellhops brands itself as a unique solution to the anxiety of college moving days and works toward providing its customers with quality service they can count on.

“We’re addressing a pretty apparent problem that every college student/parent has dealt with,” Doody said. “We guarantee that we won’t be one minute late or your move is free.”

Editor’s Note Generation could benefit from dose of Thatcherism

Blair Kuykendall Editor-in-Chief She was extraordinarily patient, provided she got her own way in the end. Those words from the Iron Lady hung on my bedroom wall from ages 12 to 15. Margaret Thatcher died on Monday, and losing her feels a little like losing a parent.

For a preteen girl who preferred Investor’s Business Daily to Cosmo, role models were quite a rarity. I found my solace in the life of Margaret Thatcher. She was everything I aspired to be: resolved, intelligent and dedicated to her nation’s improvement. She was Britain’s first and only female prime minister, but most importantly, she had a style.

The Economist declared the essence of Thatcherism to be “a strong state and a free economy.” A truth to some extent, but Thatcher’s style extended far beyond those two principles. That’s before I even begin to discuss her handbags.

For the famous Margaret Thatcher, being powerful was described like being a lady: if you had to tell people you were, you weren’t. She was raised to be independent and reveled in the opportunity to pinch a pence. She wanted nothing that couldn’t be gained by hard work.

Coming out of the 1940s, Britain had laid the foundations of its welfare state. Lawmakers cushioned the economy in an attempt to achieve full employment. This interventionism crippled innovation and hurt free enterprise.

Thatcher was consistently against such economic easing throughout the 1960s, but had little influence as a lowly MP. Britain’s leaders during this time period couldn’t pull their acts together, and inflation spiraled out of control.

England fell into panic.

Enter Marge. She took control of the Conservative party in the mid 1970s, and launched a campaign to return the English people the sovereignty of their marketplace.

Government spending was slashed to cut inflation, and many public firms were sold off to private bidders. The market continued to contract as the short term business-cycle would predict, and the British got angry.

Thatcher kept her eye on the prize, even as the mobs raged. Unemployment topped out over 3.3 million in 1987, but the situation improved markedly from that point on. Thatcher had turned England around. When the Russians taunted her by calling her with the “Iron Lady,” she said “thank you.”

Unfortunately for Thatcher, the good times couldn’t last forever. Her monarch-like hold over the Conservative party unraveled in 1990 as her ministers complained about her utter inability to compromise. Ironically, the straw that broke the camel’s back was a disagreement over increased “Union” with the European Common Market. Thatcher refused to consider allowing Britain to commit itself to a currency union. Luckily for England, her successors did not achieve their aspirations. Looking at the state of the euro today against the pound sterling, it looks like another win for Thatcher.

Politics aside, she cared about her country, and she fought hard to make change happen.

Looking at the way the situation in England has devolved, I can only stop to wonder what Margaret was thinking in her last hours. She endured so much scorn to steer England’s economy onto steady ground, but today’s ballooning deficit, corruption and excessive government spending have only repealed her progress.

Let’s hope there’s another one out there like her.

Columns of The Daily Beacon are reflections of the individual columnist, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Beacon or its editorial staff.

Stereotyping wrong, including Christians The Maple Kind by

Hunter Tipton Being a Christian in college isn’t easy. I know saying that while attending a university in East Tennessee may sound stupid, but let’s face the facts. UT experiences the same trend of growing liberalism that exists in all of American higher education.

This is not to say that “liberals” cannot be Christians and “conservatives” must be.

I am just saying that even in our corner of the world, smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt, Christianity can be looked down upon for a variety of reasons, both valid and ridiculous.

In some ways I was lucky growing up in a Christian household. I have two parents who loved my brothers and me and showed us how to be godly men. We were (and still are) part of a loving congregation at Fairview United Methodist Church, and I know that through any personal disaster there would be crowds of people busting down our doors to help us.

It may not be politically correct to say it, but even in an environment of “civility,” Christians still seem to be given a tough time of it. I have been mocked, made fun of, had my opinions discounted, etc., for what I believe just in my time at UT. I was recently hired as a Summer Youth Intern at FUMC for this upcoming summer, and I was almost immediately met with skeptical looks from those I told. They treated me as if I was somehow selling myself short. If I am blessed enough to share the Word of God to anyone I work with this summer, then I think I’ve gained more than any other summer work could give me.

People claim that Christians are often the biggest source of persecution in the United States today. According a to popular belief, we hate homosexuals because they are sinful. We want to control what women can and can’t do with their bodies and their unborn children. We believe in “traditional” gender roles that force

individuals into particular lifestyles. In essence, we want to restrict the freedoms of individuals so that they fit the image that we believe God wants.

Lumping every Christian into that narrow category is simply biased and quite frankly ignorant. Those who make these blanket statements are guilty of the same hateful prejudice espoused by some Christians. Reread what I wrote above.

Didn’t I just list off much of contemporary society’s, and particularly the media’s, definition of Christianity (particularly in the South) in just a few sentences? It’s certainly easier to win an argument if you can package your opponent in a box, regardless if you have to commit the same acts of which you are accusing them.

Not all Christians who don’t support civil unions hate homosexuals, as the often incorrectly applied term “homophobic” may lead the public to believe. Not all Christians who oppose abortion hate women’s rights. Not all Christians who believe that there are defined roles for men and women in the family hate those who fall outside that spectrum. These are labels that the left has been putting on Christians for political gain.

Unfortunately, there are Christians that do fall in these categories that hurt the perception of the whole group. However, there are also completely logical reasons to these ways of thinking that aren’t motivated by hate in any way, shape, form or fashion. I can acknowledge that fact, and I don’t even agree with all of those stances.

If you really believe that hate is a motivating factor in all Christians’ decisions, then whoever gave you that idea clearly failed to mirror the love of Jesus Christ.

For that, I apologize, and I hope that one day we can redeem ourselves. If you have any thoughts or questions on this column, Christianity or Christianity’s role in personal political choices, feel free to email me and I will be happy to discuss the topic with you.

All Things Dark and Twisty byWarchol Samantha “I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.” This is indeed one of my favorite Facebook statuses. I guess the question is: do you really think everyone has an ulterior motive for the things they say and do? I want to believe they don’t.

We are in a world now that just doesn’t trust anymore. I don’t know how many times I have been asked, “Why did you write that?” or “Why did you say that?” and my personal favorite is “Why did you do that?” The answer to all of those questions is: at the time of writing, saying and doing … I believed in what I was writing, saying and doing, simple as that. I had no ulterior motive. Like many others though, I have, with good reason, questioned the motives of others.

I have tried to live my life with integrity, always striving to do the right thing. In turn, I believed that the people in my life were always doing the same. Unfortunately, I have had people in my life who have led me down the path of not trusting anyone.

We all want to believe we can trust those secrets to our best friend, but when these “friends” use information you have given them in confidence to their own advantage,

you start to draw a very different conclusion on whether you can tell any friends anything. Family members are not excluded from this question. I have had plenty of family members who have left me shaking my head, wondering why they would betray my trust. There are really just some people in our lives that disappoint even the biggest optimists.

I have let the wounds heal, and ask, if I never trust anyone, what’s left? To open up to someone means just that — opening wide enough that not only do you let in the good — but there is the possibility you’ll let the bad in too. I think those are the chances we have to take because what is the alternative? The alternative is never having anyone to share the happy moments, the hear-wrenching moments or just the silly moments with. I believe sometimes we are so scared and closed off that no one can get in. This is not fair to you or the people who want to be part of your life.

I suppose I am like the rest of you — I don’t want to get hurt or have my heart broken. But in the process of protecting ourselves we could be missing out on happiness and having our faith renewed in the fact that not everyone should have their motives questioned.

‘Sex Week’ to host erotic writing workshop

Finding difference between movie, film

Melodi Erdogan Assistant Arts & Culture Editor Over the weekend I finally got to see “Zero Dark Thirty,� a blockbuster film in theaters and a favorite at the Academy Awards. When I finished watching, I thought it was a great piece of work, but I couldn’t articulate exactly what I wanted to call it. What was it, a movie or a film?

That brings me to this question: What is the difference between a movie and a film?

Analyzing the words themselves has not helped me figure out the answer to my query. A movie, derived from moving pictures, is essentially the product of a piece of cinematic work. Film is the material that those moving pictures are produced on. It is what is put into a machine, or nowadays what is transcribed into digital media, that shows the moving pictures.

The two terms, film and movie, certainly don’t mean the same thing — they’re two different words with two different mean-

ings. Yet people use them interchangeably to describe a video longer than 90 minutes. Is this confusion just a by-product of the current dialect we practice, or is the real difference between the two muddled because no one can really ascertain between them?

When I watch a piece of cinematic work, there are a few things that I either notice immediately or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice at all. These include characters, storyline, cinematography and the score or soundtrack.

Based off how well these things are done in a cinematic piece is how I personally determine whether it is a movie or a film.

If a pieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cinematography is done intricately and its score only elevates that quality throughout, I lean more toward calling that particular piece a film. Film is the more ostentatious of the two words. It has an air of fanciness when one uses it in regular speak.

Film is probably the more commonly used term to describe works that are critically acclaimed, such as Orson Wellesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizen Kaneâ&#x20AC;? or the more recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Argo,â&#x20AC;? directed

by Ben Affleck.

A movie, on the other hand, is the regular, most basic term for a piece of work. Movies like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anchormanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Step Brothersâ&#x20AC;? are loved and adored by millions of people, but in my book theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re classified as movies and not films.

Yes, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quality pieces and they without a doubt entertained tons of people, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that compelling, sophisticated quality to them that really requires the viewer to think and submerge themselves in the story.

Even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even pick between a film and a movie. The last award of every yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show goes to Best Picture.

Not Best Movie or Best Film, but Best Picture. Not that I wish the Academy could make answering this question easier for me, but it would at least maybe lead me on the right track.

In the end, choosing between calling it a movie and a film is personal preference. While on the topic briefly in Introduction to Cinema Studies explaining auteur theory, Professor Clint Stivers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just know.â&#x20AC;?

Reflecting on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zero Dark Thirtyâ&#x20AC;? now leads me to the conclusion that it was a film. To me, it had all the qualities of a film â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the characters are fascinating, the story was imperative, and ultimately, it made me feel like I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watching a movie but watching the events unfold in front of me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Melodi Erdogan is a freshman in journalism and electronic media.

Victoria Wright Arts and Culture Editor E.L. James might not be the only one ruling the erotica world soon.

Or at least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the coordinators of UTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex Weekâ&#x20AC;? are hoping for Thursday at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steamy: How to Write About Sex and Poetry Performance.â&#x20AC;?

Led by sex writer and columnist Sinclair Sexsmith, the intensive workshop will analyze good and bad erotic writing followed by a reading from one of Sinclairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works.

DeAundra Blackwell, open board seat for the organization, said the event could benefit students by using basic principles for a usually taboo subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that the students can gain a different perspective on writing in general from the erotica poetry workshop,â&#x20AC;?

Blackwell, a senior in psychology and minor in child and family studies, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe all writing entails the same basic principles: imagination, good grammar, and especially from this particular writing, courage. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the kind of writing you would be asked to do in class, and because of that it pushes you to be more imaginative and inventive, rather than just putting together the normal five paragraph analysis or persuasive essay. If nothing else, the topic of sex can persuade a lot of people to get involved in something that would otherwise be thought of as boring.â&#x20AC;?

Despite losing funding from the state, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex Weekâ&#x20AC;? began Saturday, March 9, with the staged reading of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? at the Carousel Theatre.

With the popularity of the erotic â&#x20AC;&#x153;50

Shades of Greyâ&#x20AC;? book series, Blackwell said the novels offer an open atmosphere to discuss sensitive, and perhaps embarrassing, topics. Blackwell said such risquĂŠ novels are needed to push people passed their boundaries while still providing the basic story structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that just like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sex Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is challenging people to confront sex in a more public fashion, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50 Shadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is challenging readers to think of erotic literature as actual literature, and not just porn on book pages,â&#x20AC;? Blackwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I read it and actually got caught up in the plot as opposed to the random risquĂŠ scenes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the style of writing. If the author can write a good book and still incorporate what makes erotic literature erotic, it makes the reader go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hmm, I can actually respect this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Mollie Belfus, a sophomore in journalism and electronic media, said she is a fan of the books although she has only read the first two of the trilogy. She said she enjoyed reading the novels because they were different from other works and sad erotic novels allow introspection and give light to a shade that people rarely show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily know how to express themselves in that way, especially through writing, so I think that will be very helpful to a lot of people,â&#x20AC;? Belfus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It will) make them feel more comfortable to talk about sex, especially those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to talk about it in public or admit that they read things like that.â&#x20AC;?

The future on Belfusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own debut sex piece seems probable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure, why not?â&#x20AC;? Belfus said, chuckling.

Assistant Sports Editor Austin Bornheim abornhei@utk.edu

Jones introduces new distractions Thomas Duggins Staff Writer The UT football team has faced a variety of distractions during their first round of spring football under new head coach Butch Jones and his coaching staff.

Not only are the players dealing with learning new schemes on both sides of the ball and an increase in practice tempo, but on Tuesday Jones introduced a new type of obstacle for the Vols to overcome during scrimmage periods of practice; he pumped unusual sound effects like crying babies, sirens and white noise into Haslam Field.

“It is what it is,” Jones said.

“It’s being able to focus and (block) out everything, playing in the SEC and having to play at Oregon, some people have described it as the loudest venue in all of college football.

You have to learn to sort those distractions, you focus on your communicative skills, your nonverbal communication skills and

your command presence.”

Usually music or crowd noise is pumped through the speakers at Haslam Field.

“It’s just about trying to distract you,” sophomore wide receiver Alton Howard said.

“Being mentally focused when you’re tired. That’s a great practice getting us prepared for games because it will be loud.

At the end of the day we’ll have to be mentally tuned in and be ready to roll.”

The alternate sound effects were a surprise to the players, who did not know that the new sounds were coming.

“It was weird, but you get used to it,” sophomore defensive lineman Trevarris Saulsberry said. “We just got to learn how to block everything out, focus on what you have to do and make plays. I heard a baby crying and was like ‘What is this?,’ then after that I just tuned it out and started playing ball.”

Jones wants to try more distraction tactics on the team to

try and prepare them for hostile environments like those in Eugene, Ore., Gainesville, Fla. and Tuscaloosa, Ala. “I like annoying noises,” Jones said. “(The baby cry) was a C-minus, we’ll tune it up on Thursday.”

One area of concern for the Volunteer coaching staff is who is going to return punts for the Vols. The Vols face a major challenge in replacing former standout returner Cordarrelle Patterson, who broke the Vols’ single-season all-purpose yardage record previously held by Reggie Cobb.

“Very concerned about who our punt returners are,” Jones said. “I think that’s the hardest skill in football, not only to catch a punt, but you have 10 guys coming down the field to try to tackle you. It really challenges your concentration, we’re looking for the individual who can get 10 yards but also secure the football. A misjudged punt can be the difference in 10, 20, 30 yards of field position.”

Vol seniors head towards final matches Troy Provost-Heron Staff Writer

Tia Patron • The Daily Beacon

Redshirt senior Tyler Drummer practices offensive running drills during spring football practice on March 14.

For the Tennessee Volunteers tennis team, the final two matches of the regular season against the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers are rapidly approaching, and just like every other collegiate sport that means the road is coming to an end for the seniors on the team.

As the weekend makes its way closer and closer, seniors Taylor Patrick, Edward Jones and John Collins understand that these two matches at the Goodfriend Tennis Center will be their final SEC matchups of their UT careers.

“It means a lot,” Jones said. “I’ve seen how much it means to the previous seniors I’ve been on the team with.

Hopefully, we are going to have a couple more matches at home with the first couple rounds of the NCAAs, but these definitely mean a lot being the last SEC home matches for me.”

For Patrick, who is a redshirt senior and has been on the team for five years, he said his time here at the university and on the team has helped him grow as a person and prepared him for life outside of these campus borders. “(I’ve grown) a ton,” Patrick

said. “Obviously, I’ve grown on the tennis court, that’s a given, but off the court my leadership skills have grown, I’ve become a lot more mature, I’m more responsible and just all the things that come with being a student-athlete that you just have to get used to as the years go on. ...

“I feel like being here with all the stuff we go through, all the hard work we put in has just really prepared me to go out into the real world and succeed.”

The Vols have had a stellar year, recording 19 wins with only 7 losses while going 6-4 in the SEC, which puts them third in the conference. With all their success, all three of the seniors are extremely proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish as a team this year.

“I’ve been on a couple of teams here that have been really good,” Patrick said. “I think we were No. 1 in the country at one point, top three another time, but No. 6 in the country with this team honestly means the most because the guys on this team aren’t all-stars, but we are all good players and we just fight really hard and have a ton of heart and we are always there for each other.”

Being No. 10 in the country, the Vols are legitimate con-

tenders to not only win the SEC Championship but the NCAA Championship as well.

For Collins, who is playing his first and only year here at UT after he transferred from the University of Maryland this summer after their program got cut, winning a championship with this team would be really special.

“It would be awesome. I don’t know what team wouldn’t want to do that, but with this group of guys it would be something really special,” Collins said.

Nobody understands the importance of these three seniors more than head coach Sam Winterbotham, who believes that they are just as valuable to what they bring to the future of the program as they are on the court.

“It seems that we say it every year, but that group that leaves us is the connection to the class prior,” Winterbotham said. “... You just can’t adequately explain what seniors mean to your program, their experience and their ability to share their knowledge with their teammates. The guys that have made it here to this point have put blood, sweat and tears into this program and they’ve laid the foundation and were so proud of them.”
