Defense rallies to win Orange & White game Shane Switzer
Staff Writer
Going into the fourth quarter the White team or the Tennessee offense was leading 62-60. Head coach Butch Jones announced that the spring game was going “live” and a switch flipped on the Orange, or defense, team. Tennessee fans are well aware that the defense gave up multiple fourth quarter leads last season but inside Neyland Stadium on Saturday afternoon the defense came back to win 70-63. Obviously it wasn’t the normal scoring system but defensive linemen Kahlil McKenzie didn’t mind and was happy to get the win. “I think we got after it today,” McKenzie said. “Showed what we can do a little bit, was flying around a little bit, that kind of stuff.” Kahlil McKenzie: Fans will notice one obvious change from McKenzie on the field this fall as he will change from No. 1 to No. 99. “Number 99 was a number I’ve always liked; was a number I wore my senior year of high school,” McKenzie said, admitting that No. 1 was cool but after the Outback Bowl he wanted to change to 99.

Phi Mu Alpha brings home trophy for 1st time in five years JoAnna Brooker Contributor
Singing fraternity Phi Mu Alpha placed third Saturday evening in the All Campus Events All-Sing. ACE puts on four events each year; Homecoming, Carnicus, All-Sing and Volunteer Challenge. Each event is planned a year in advance and offers organizations on campus a chance to represent themselves and compete against others. Although these events are filled heavily by
fraternities and sororities, the Greek organization’s overrepresentation is not intentional. “We realize that these are some of the larger organizations on campus and so we try to keep our fees low to allow the smaller organizations that don’t have the funds other groups do,” said Nancy June Inman, senior in mathematics and the committee chair of ACE. ”But it takes a lot of organization and manpower to get that done.” However, smaller organizations need not lose hope; Baptist collegiate ministry won 1st place in 2012, and this year musical fraternity Phi Mu Alpha placed for the first time in five years.

“This is the first time that we’ve got a trophy in five years, so it feels really good to do it,” President of Phi Mu Alpha Corey Kiser, sophomore in music education, said. “The fact that I was in charge of it, I feel a little bit extra proud.” The groups were judged on singability, performance, outfits and energy. The theme this year was All Stars, meaning contestants would perform any artist who had gone platinum or who could be considered an “All Star” of their genre. The theme changes every year. Chi Omega and Sigma Kappa placed first, Beta Upsilon Chi and Zeta Tau Alpha placed second and Phi Mu Alpha and Delta Zeta placed third.
