Morgan Mickey Hunter campaign sweeps executive spots, most senate seats Staff Report On Thursday night, April 13, the 20162017 SGA election season came to a close, ending the reign of SGA president Carson Hollingsworth and vice president McKinsey Patterson and welcoming a new team of executive leaders.

With 2,548 votes and 38.51 percent of the overall votes for SGA president, Morgan Hartgrove became UT’s SGA president-elect. Michael “Mickey” Curtis won vice president with 3,111 votes, and Hunter Jones won student services director with 5,957 votes.

“We won by a landslide, so that is an

amazing feeling,” Hartgrove, senior in College Scholars, said. “I couldn’t have asked for better people to run with, and even against honestly. They were amazing.”

Phillip Newsom came in second for SGA president with 1,745 votes, Beverly Banks came in third with 1,420 votes and Antonio Butler came in fourth with 792 votes. For SGA vice president, Emily Dickey came in second with 1,918 votes, and Kiersten Marsh came in last with 1,459 votes.

Jones ran for student services director unopposed, earning 90.03 percent of the vote, since there were 659 write-ins for student services director.

There were 6,616 total votes this year, compared to 7,557 votes in 2016 — a 941 voter decrease.

Candidates speculated that the lowered turnout could have been the result of poor timing, with voting falling on the same week as Spring Recess. Independent presidential candidate Antonio Butler said the process also felt shorter this year.

“There were a lot of different factors that can play into that (lower voter turnout), and also people are still being apathetic towards SGA and what they can do,” Butler, junior in supply chain management, said. “Michael, Morgan and Hunter ran for a reason. They think they can change that next year.”

Marsh, sophomore in political science, agreed that the timing of the elections may have negatively affected turnout, but admitted that a lack of student interest in SGA — something her campaign “LIT” actively sought to fix — could also be to blame.

“I think a lot of students felt disenfranchised, and that’s what we hoped to accomplish in the campaign that we ran is making sure that students didn’t feel like that,” Marsh said. “For next year, I hope people will start being engaged and start noticing SGA and start taking part because it does matter, and it can make a difference.”

The Daily Beacon is published by students at The University of Tennessee Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters and Wednesday during the summer semester. The offices are located at 1340 Circle Park Drive, 11 Communications Building, Knoxville, TN 37996-0314. The newspaper is free on campus and is available via mail subscription for $200/year, $100/semester or $70/summer only. It is also available online at: www.utdailybeacon.com

The Daily Beacon is printed using soy based ink on newsprint containing recycled content, utilizing renewable sources and produced in a sustainable, environmentally responsible manner.

For nearly 150 years — 77 years after UT’s founding — UT students have had the privilege of conceptualizing, creating, publishing and putting their work into the hands of its community.

In 1871, this exchange took place through a semi-monthly newspaper, The University Times-Prospectus. In 1906, the Prospectus transformed into the Orange and White, which published for 61 years as a weekly and later semi-weekly paper. And in 1967, it became The Daily Beacon, the daily student newspaper printing Monday through Friday — the paper you hold in your hands today. Kind of.

The Beacon has evolved drastically in the fifty years since it became a daily newspaper, and even over the past four years, the paper has become barely recognizable to what was on stands when those now leaving first arrived The Beacon has transformed from a daily broadsheet paper to a daily tabloid publication.

It’s gone from printing 10,000 copies every day to 6,000. Our staff has been restructured, and

SGA continued from Page 1 Greater campus engagement as a means to battle this apathy is something Morgan Mickey Hunter also emphasized during their campaign.

Curtis, junior in nursing, said that as next year’s vice president, he hopes “to represent (students) the best way that we can.”

“It’s bigger than us,” Curtis said. “Although we were trying to get a lot of people to vote for us, we were really trying to get people just to vote in general, just to know that they matter, their voice matters.”

Candidates from the other campaigns are also focused on what the newly elected SGA representatives will do for the upcoming student body. Despite his campaign’s loss, Newsom, junior in accounting, said he is looking forward to seeing what comes next for SGA under Hartgrove, Curtis and Jones.

“I’m sure they believe in their goals and their vision as much as we have,” Newsom said.

“And, I’m optimistic about what our student government can do for our campus in the future.”

Butler said he plans to work outside of SGA next year to fulfill his campaign promises. He will work as the president of the Multicultural Mentoring Program in the fall, and said he will hold the newly-elected SGA members accountable for their campaign promises. “(I hope) that they stick to what they say they did. Regardless of what Morgan said, whatever comes up in SGA next year, that they stick

our newsroom has gotten (reluctantly) more tech-friendly.

And, at the same time, journalists in Knoxville and across the world have watched the media monster morph into an entirely different beast — a beast that print-focused journalism just doesn’t stand a chance against.

So, in the fall of 2017,* The Daily Beacon* will be making yet another, monumental change.

After 50 years of producing a newspaper five days a week, the Beacon will be switching to a twice-weekly publication, distributing physical copies all over campus only on Mondays and Thursdays.

We’ll still be The “Daily” Beacon*, *publishing* *news, entertainment and sports content online Monday through Sunday, but the print copies will be less frequent, include more pages and only consist of the best written, researched and relevant articles to our campus community. We aren’t removing print from our priority list; we’re placing it where readers want it.

Our website will be the spot for breaking news, that night’s game scores and the information you need to know when it happens.

Our paper — your paper — will be home to features, investigative pieces and all the con-

“

tent that makes sitting down to read a paper worth it, including the crossword puzzle.

We’re not changing because we no longer believe in print but because we still believe in journalism, and, if you’ve been around long enough, you know that journalism’s only constant is change.

So, whether you read this paper every day or you only picked it up to look intelligent walking to class, we hope you stick around for this change. We hope we can still inform you — online and in print. And, fifty years from now, when the 2067-2068 Beacon Editorin-Chief writes a letter to talk about their unthinkable change, we hope they look back at 2017 and say it started there.

We wanted to get people in senate who are going to embody our message and keep pushing to change senate and make some meaningful change, and I think that they will.”

to the students that they represent and that they fight for all students — not just students that are inside of SGA,” Butler said. “Also, that they go to war for students and they don’t let administration or state legislators decide what they do. So, I’m going to hold them accountable for everything that they do, especially Michael Curtis and especially Morgan Hartgrove.

“I’m going to hold all of them accountable for everything they do and everything that they say they’re going to do on the campaign trail.”

As a sophomore, Marsh could run for an executive position next year, but she said she unsure about her plans. For now, she said she is happy for the senators in their campaign that won.

“This is a whole lot. This week has taken a lot out of me, but I’m not going to say it would never happen. Right now, in this moment, that’s not on my radar,” Marsh said. “We wanted to get people in senate who are going to embody our message and keep carrying it on and keep pushing to change senate and make some mean-

ingful change, and I think that they will.”

Out of 57 senate seats, 28 candidates from the Morgan Mickey Hunter also won.

Although Curtis said that tonight was going to be about “relaxation” for the Morgan Mickey Hunter campaign, all three plan to get to work soon establishing an “exec” and adjusting to their new roles in SGA. “Got to get to work to make it better for the students,” Hunter said. “That’s more important than anything is to ensure that we can leave things better than we found them ... I can’t thank (students) enough for all the faith and support you’ve put in us and we look forward to serving each and every one of you this next year.”

University of Tennessee lights up the green initiative Gabi Szymanowski Staff Writer

UT is replacing lights on campus with energy efficient LED lights, which use 75 percent less energy and last much longer than incandescent lighting, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Terry Ledford, zone maintenance director, said that while replacing the lights is an expensive project, money — and energy — will be saved.

“We’re in the process of replacing all the lighting in the parking garages, and ... we’re spending probably $700-800 thousand. It’ll save about $200,000 a year. That’s just switching to LED lighting,” Ledford said.

The total electric usage by Neyland stadium in 2016 was 11,500,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) and 260,000,000 kWh for the entire campus, Ledford said.

Although the Office of Sustainability encourages everyone to conserve energy, the issue is not just the amount of energy used but also the source of the energy.

Since 2015, UT has been switching from coal to natural gas, and it has purchased more renewable energy credits to off-set 70 percent of emissions produced by the university. Last year, UT

purchased over 240,000,000 kWh in Renewable Energy Credits (REC), Ledford said.

A REC is a tradable energy commodity that proves that one megawatt-hour of electricity was generated through renewable energy resources.

University officials that buy the credit can claim their credits are green because they are using energy from renewable sources.

Sarah Cherry, outreach coordinator for the Office of Sustainability, said about 70 percent of UT’s emissions are cut out. In certain areas, 100 percent are cut out.

“It’s just a way to support renewable energy, in a way, as well as claim that our credits are green while we may be using things like natural gas. It’s not the best solution, but it definitely supports that economy and produces longevity and things like that,” Cherry said. “We are the number one green power purchaser in academia in the nation.”

According to the Office of Sustainability’s website, UT has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as the number one green power purchaser in the southeastern conference.

Both the Office of Sustainability and the UT Knoxville Facilities Services Energy Task Force are continuing to look for ways to conserve energy and make UT more sustainable by supporting energy projects using different funds,

UT will soon become a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly campus by switching to LED lighting.

such as the revolving fund. This fund recycles the savings from sustainable projects, allowing it to be available for other projects.

“We’re not perfect, but we’re working on it and we got a lot of people who are passionate about it, and I think that’s what sets us apart,” Cherry said. “That’s why we’re definitely going to be climate neutral by 2061. That’s our goal.

That’s ... our purpose on campus. It’s far off, but definitely doable and we’re on track for it.”

Just like the lights are turned off in other buildings around campus, the lights in Neyland Stadium are also turned off to help conserve energy. Additionally, the HVAC cooling systems in the newer areas have variable speed control

fans that slow down when they do not need to cool as much, which saves more energy.

There are only a few lights in the lower part of the stadium that stay on for fire code and safety reasons, but otherwise lights are shut off either by a computer system or manually by the full-time crew.

“They are turned on when they have, of course, events, just like the normal games and things like that,” Ledford said. “They will turn them on when they have higher-rated recruits coming in, because they want to make an impression for the recruit, so we turn them on and turn them off when that is over with.”

Kendrick Lamar - “DAMN.” Anticipation: 5/5

Beacon Beats John Mayer - “The Search for Everything”

Jenna Butz, Arts & Culture Editor

Little Dragon - “Season High” Anticipation: 3/5

Anticipation: 4/5

Kendrick is easily one of the most influential and exciting rappers right now, and with the hype having been so high for this album, my expectations are right up there. As possibly the best rapper right now, I’m expecting something fresh and innovative with a message that’ll be impossible to ignore.

During: 5/5

Personally, I’m pro-John Mayer. He’s a pretty impressive guitar player, he’s been a staple in mainstream music for basically my entire life, and I’ve never heard a John Mayer album I hated.

Sure, some of them weren’t great, but I’ve never listened to a project of his and thought it was complete trash.

During: 3/5

Every line, every beat is like punch in the gut. Kendrick has created a record that provides commentary on everything from women’s body image to police brutality, and he never makes the experience easy on the listener. But, combining Kendrick’s raps with these beats with the messages of the songs creates a culturally significant record that is both politically and musically groundbreaking.

Reflection: 5/5 I’m just constantly blown away by how much work this record is doing in a way that just feels effortless. Each line and song blends into the next without a hitch, and the emotions of this record seep through the headphones to the point that the listener can feel them to. What Kendrick’s done here is really just mindblowing.

Okay, I forgot how sensitive John Mayer can be sometimes, and it’s a little annoying in this album. However, he’s still the talented musician that I remember him to be. There are some hints of Justin Timberlake vibes, and Mayer’s voice is smooth as butter. Really, his voice sounds so good on this record.

Reflection: 3/5 Mayer has never been a great lyricist, but overall, “The Search for Everything” is a fun, easy listen. “Love on the Weekend” has been one of my guilty pleasures since it first hit the radio, and now, the rest of the album is as well. I’d like to see Mayer finally mature in his music, but I’ll take this.

I’ve listened to Little Dragon a little bit before, and I’ve liked them. I’m trying to go into this neutral though because I don’t know enough about them to let a couple of songs from before influence my opinion.

During: 3.5/5 Listening to this, I’m constantly taken off-guard, which on one hand is great and a little disorienting on the other. It has a great electronic 80s vibe mixed with some smooth R&B vocals that meld so well. I found myself constantly dancing in my seat lifting to this.

Reflection: 4/5 Overall, this is a solid record that is worth giving a try. This specific genre or genre-bending may not appeal to everyone, but the musicality of this record is so impressive. It’s bright and airy but also hits a sort of visceral low that creates a gut reaction.

While I wasn’t sure about the constant surprises at first, I’m into it now.

Local photography professor opens traditional darkroom McNeeley Moore Staff Writer

Jenna Butz Arts & Culture Editor The new Knoxville Community Darkroom reintroduces the traditional art of film photography to the local community.

The darkroom is a non-profit for artists to create and be educated on the art of oldfashioned print work.

As the organization’s mission statement reads on their website, “The Knoxville Community Darkroom, KCD, is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit arts center whose mission is to educate our local community about film photography and traditional film processes as a means of artistic self-expression.”

The darkroom aims to carry out this mission in multiple ways. First, it works with students, offering on-site and traveling workshops to introduce students to the basics of film photography. It also volunteers across the community to teach the basics of general photography. By focusing on education, the darkroom’s goal is for “participants to feel empowered to go forward and create their own body of work,” as stated on its website. Most of

these events or partnerships wrap up with a gallery exhibition at the darkroom space.

In the actual darkroom space, Knoxville Community Darkroom offers classes, meetups, critique nights and workshops. There is also a gallery space for darkroom members and community artists to showcase their work.

“We are very focused on growth, both in terms of memberships and also in the services and classes that we would like to offer,” darkroom vice president Jacob Long said. “We are working very hard on putting together classes and workshops that our members and the community have asked for. We want to be a part of the vibrant Knoxville arts community. Ideally, we would like to be the hub for photography and give something back to the community that means so much to us.”

The idea began in 2015, when Lisa Ellis Flanary, creator and president of the Knoxville Community Darkroom, heard about community darkrooms in Nashville and Asheville. After research, she discovered most states had several and decided Knoxville needed one too.

Flanary believes such a place will help engage artists in traditional photography, as opposed to a day and age of photography that is almost entirely digital and online.

“Using film is more of a craft than digital,” Flanary said. “You have your literal hands in the chemistry. Rather than digital, the images look different, they have more depth. In digital, you can take 200 images and hope one turns out decent. In film, it’s intentional. You have a limited number of exposures, and the art happens in the camera, not a digital afterthought.

“You have to think the image out with time.”

Long agreed, saying that the community darkroom gives artists and photographers a place to gather, share tips and tricks and create their art.

“Many people ask us if a darkroom is still an important part of photography in the digital age,” Long said. “The answer is ‘yes.’ Even at the collegiate level, the darkroom is still highly valued as a source of valuable information for learning photography. Many professional and hobby photographers still shoot and process film to make prints in the darkroom. Darkrooms have been in use since the inception of photography in the early 19th century, and they are here to stay.”

As for the community, Flanary, who teaches photography at Carson-Newman, looks forward to seeing students learn in the context of the darkroom.

“Students who start out in the darkroom

will benefit by the thought process it takes and eventually be better photographers,” Flanary said. “For those who may be in the rut with digital work, film will give them a different perspective. I hope many younger people discover they actually prefer film.”

Apart from the students, Lisa also hopes already established photographers of all kinds will come together in such a context.

“I have expectations the darkroom will be a center for local photographers, those who work in any type of medium, really,” Flannery said. “It doesn’t matter what kind of photos they take or how. I want it to be a community.”

The Knoxville Community Darkroom’s grand opening was March 31, and it is located off of Homberg Place on Kingston Pike. This May, they’ll have their first gallery show featuring member’s photographs created there.

“I’m really anxious and looking forward to May and to see what the member’s have created,” Flanary said, who mentioned she hasn’t seen anything the photographers have created in the darkroom yet. “We’ve only been open 10 days, but I’m already excited to see what people have made.”

SOCCER

Pensky, soccer team point out similarities in college, professional soccer Norris Eppes

Contributor

On head coach Brian Pensky’s desk was a copy of “The Artist: Being Iniesta” — the autobiography of one of the most graceful players of “the beautiful game.” Using the X’s and O’s from a coffee table tic-tac-toe set to illustrate the movements of players in front of goal, Pensky diagrammed a combination play the Vols had been practicing.

“I watch Barcelona and I watch their shape, their passing and their combinations. That’s as good as it gets,” Pensky said.

Soccer is unique among SEC sports in that the final numbers in the box score don’t provide a complete picture of any given game. While they are the vital currency of baseball, softball, football or basketball, statistics in soccer have a far more complex relationship with which soccer team wins or loses.

Some of the sport’s greatest teams never won trophies, but are remembered because of their skill, beauty and style. The Dutch team of the 1974 World Cup stands out as perhaps the greatest team to play the game that never won a trophy to validate their prowess.

It goes without saying that the college game in the U.S. is different from the game played in Barcelona by Iniesta and his teammates.

For Pensky, this is exactly why he loves coaching the Tennessee soccer team.

“My world is the college world,” Pensky said.

Penske is awaret he’s coaching in an environment where football and basketball rule supreme. Soccer is often called “the beautiful game,” but learning to watch it requires a different type of thought process to the way one watches football, basketball or baseball.

“Soccer’s different than pretty much every other sport, because there are no timeouts,” assistant coach Joe Kirt said. “We don’t get commercial timeouts. In tennis, you get a break between sets. Football, basketball — tons of stoppages. Baseball, you get to step out of the batter’s box. Soccer is a player’s game. It’s our job as coaches to give them the information to make decisions on the field.”

The balance between winning games or playing with style is a debate in many sports, but nowhere does this debate rear its head more prominently than on the soccer pitch.

The reason for this exists partly in the method of judging winners and losers. In basketball, football or baseball the factor that determines the winning team are baskets, touchdowns or runs. The team that scores the most is the winner. When watching these sports, viewers look for moments where chances to score are created.

In soccer, however, the factor that determines the winning team is possession and how it’s used. Think about soccer this way: Every

touch of the ball carries the same weight of importance as a fourth quarter fumble.

Pensky thinks it is foolish to watch Barcelona and imagine he can replicate it exactly in a college game.

“That style of play is going to be hard to get anywhere,” he said. “I like watching the English Premier League. There’s a physicality to that league – there’s a pace to that league that the college game mimics.”

An example that illustrates this is the heavy defeat UT suffered last season to Alabama.

“We were trying to play a 4-2-3-1 and really build out of the back against Alabama. We connected in the first half 238 passes. I’ve never had a team that’s connected that many passes in one half in all my years of coaching.” Pensky said. “But we were down by four at the half.”

“

the “cult of the manager” idea. Bring in this coach or that and they will bring a philosophy that, when enough time has been spent with the players, will body forth a team with a distinctive philosophy and style.

But is this true of the college game in the SEC? “The college game is fast,” Pensky said. “It’s physical. Sometimes teams are connecting 15 or 20 passes, sometimes they’re not. That’s the college game. How quickly can you pull off some of those combinations? For me it’s more about little moments.”

“But another level of the college game,” Pensky said. “Especially in the SEC ... is that it’s a very athletic conference. You can’t have a great soccer brain and have great feet and not be able to move. So, what’s a bigger priority

If a recruit or parent asks what their kid will get (playing at UT), I will agree against anyone in the country: I’m going to challenge them and I’m going to look after them more than anyone else will.”

For the second half of that game, Pensky was forced to answer the question at the heart of soccer: A stylistic mentality or a practical one?

“In the second half our plan was (to) kick it,” Pensky said. “And then we’ll win that ball in midfield or up top. From a soccer purist’s standpoint it’s the most disgusting thing in the world. But from the standpoint of ‘we need three points on the road in the SEC?’ I told the team — kick it.”

Different soccer teams have different styles, and different styles appeal to different audiences. Different coaches are frequently labeled in relation to the style of play that the teams they coach display.

When Jürgen Klopp joined Liverpool, he signed under the label of a coach who plays high energy soccer, requiring his players to press high up the field. Atlético Madrid’s coach, Diego Simeone, has been labeled as a manager who coaches his teams in the ways of antifútbol — staying solid defensively, scoring on the counter attack and holding onto their leads using whatever nefarious methods are required.

Perhaps most famously, Pep Guardiola’s move to Manchester City in 2016 embodied

Brian Pensky, Head Coach

for us when recruiting? A great athlete? Or a great brain? It’s always a balance. When (players) combine all of them, you hit a little bit of a jackpot.”

For Pensky, learning from Sasho Cirovski — coach of the men’s team at Maryland and arguably the best men’s college coach in the past 15 years — was a valuable coaching experience that’s resonated long after the three years he spent as assistant. “(Cirovski) was a big combination play coach,” Pensky said. “He was a big pace-ofpass play coach. Little things: receiving balls with your proper foot, across your body, faced up. He was always on to the tiny little details.”

From that experience, Pensky built his owns strengths as both teacher of the game and recruiter in the crowded environment of Division 1 schools.

“My greatest strengths are talking to players and getting to know each player,” Pensky said.

“You go back to my philosophy —I’m passionate about being player first. We’re in a college environment.”

He disagrees with coaches who try to force their philosophies into college players if they don’t suit the player.

“Some coaches would say with a difficult player, ‘I’ve got to coach that kid. I’m the coach.

I’m in charge.’ But you’ve got to respect a special talent that a kid has. You might screw them up by being too proud as a coach. Sometimes your greatest strength as a human being is also your ability to be vulnerable.”

Recruiting also makes the college game significantly different from the professional game. The United States has a fine professional league in the NWSL. While many NCAA soccer players will choose a career in the professional game, others won’t — and Pensky believes it’s important to consider both types players as a college coach.

“If a recruit or parent asks what their kid will get (playing at UT), I will argue against anyone in the country: I’m going to challenge them and I’m going to look after them more than anyone else will.”

On the field, tactical awareness is important to Pensky.

“The other reality of (recruiting) the average woman who’s now coming to college is that they might not have watched a lot of soccer,” Pensky said. “They haven’t seen it, so they don’t feel it yet. Some do — but many don’t.”

Pensky believes in the importance of teaching his players about the game holistically. A good feel for the game comes with experience.

“When I watch games on TV and see little moments, I’ll film it and send a clip to a player.”

After their game at Columbus State on March 5, the entire Vols soccer team joined 55,297 fans in Bobby Dodd Stadium to watch Atlanta United play their inaugural game against the New York Red Bulls.

In that environment, Pensky taught aspects of the game which were challenging to appreciate from watching on TV. “We were pretty high up and looking down,” Pensky said. “(Josef) Martínez’s movement as a center forward was fantastic. The deception in his runs, how he toyed with center backs with his movement. I told our center forwards, ‘Just watch number seven for Atlanta United.’”

The enormous response to Atlanta United’s inaugural season evidences the desire for soccer in the southeastern U.S. That game had the fourth highest attendance of any soccer game in the world that week, behind only Manchester United vs. Bournemouth (75,245 attendance), Barcelona vs. Celta Vigo (77,117 attendance) and Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen (79,100 attendance).

“It’s a geographic thing,” Pensky said. “This sport in the southeast of the country is growing — with the SEC Network, the resources allocated to each of the different schools in this league, the coaches that have been hired in soccer into this league.

“Then, from a resources standpoint, from a hunger standpoint, the trajectory of this league is as great as any.”

Losing, cooperating in order to win Hancen Sale As It Stands

The dichotomy of the American past is vastly different than it used to be. There has been a massive departure from empathic reciprocity to defiant self-interest. With national politics in a state of disarray, it is the local community which is left to fight the encroaching darkness. In order to knit back together the rips of the American social fabric, local communities must be robust economies for collaboration, which equally value the prosperity of both the public and the individual. If there is to be any sort of depolarization or restoration of

American communities, small businesses must lead the charge.

Similar to community policing — where local police officers are encouraged to build ties and work closely with community members — small businesses must reevaluate success, defining it in more holistic terms. Community policing views mass incarceration as a valiant failure, just as community-oriented small businesses see communities where small business leaders are doing this well, such as Powell in Tennessee, are fostering less divisive and more conscious communities.

Powell is an unincorporated community in East Tennessee — meaning it does not possess its own municipal government.

Without a mayor or administration to maintain local ordinance and policy, Justin Bailey, a Powell business leader, says it provides more reason for socially responsible small business.

Powell could be lost in the bureaucracy of Knox County; but instead, local business leaders, such as Bailey, have banded together to continue improving the lives of the Powell community at large. Regardless of motivation, Bailey has found “a commonality with business owners who care for their communities ... they are willing to lose on occasion for the sake of their people.�

To be honest, there is no convincing argument for a reason why. From a solely profit driven stance, the return on investment is rarely worth it. Instead, the worth is found elsewhere.

Communities pervaded with socially responsible small businesses are creating mutually beneficial societies. Employers sustain respectful and dignified work environments, which ultimately spread far beyond the workplace; students learn to value community endeavors from those who lead by example. However, Bailey argues it’s not an entirely selfless venture: “You are actually creating a better life for your employees which in return rewards you with better employees.�

If the turbulent social and political atmosphere is to change in America, surely this is where it starts. While there are some trademark characteristics, socially responsible business is sort of ambiguous and unique to its surroundings — but always at the table of conversation. Maybe it starts with a website with a community blog, authentic employee-employer relationships, or a willingness to lose on occasion.

Regardless of where it starts, certainly it’s something we must not stop seeking.

Baseball Vols lose tough series, SEC standings shaping up Damichael Cole Staff Writer

After a weekend series against the No. 10-ranked Auburn Tigers, the Tennessee baseball team will now have to make a significant push as they battle for SEC Tournament seeding down the stretch.

Through their first five conference series, the Vols are 4-11, which is tied with Georgia for the worst record in the SEC East. Only the Alabama Crimson Tide at 2-13 in conference play have a worse record.

The team is coming off of a tough stretch against two ranked opponents, but it won’t be any easier going forward in the brutal SEC Conference.

This weekend against Auburn, the Vols nearly took another series over a top 10-ranked team but couldn’t put all the pieces together to get the job done.

Auburn took two out of three over the Vols in a very competitive series.

Thursday night’s tough 3-2 loss for the Vols saw Hunter Martin throw the first complete game by a UT pitcher since 2013,

but the lineup was only able to muster up six hits.

Friday was the highlight of the week as the freshman duo of Andre Lipcius and Justin Ammons combined to get the Vols a win in the 10th inning of a nail-biter. Lipcius drove in Ammons on a walk-off sacrifice fly to secure the win.

“My mindset was the pressure was on the pitcher, so if I hit the ball anywhere reasonably hard would get the job done,” Lipcius said.

On Saturday, the Vols struggled in a 8-1 loss. Pitchers allowed 11 hits on the day, while the Vols only had five hits, including a home run from Jordan Rodgers.

“Yes, we could’ve pitched better, a lot better, but I go back to early on in the game, and I think if we could scratch a run or two across the whole complexion of the game may have changed,” head coach Dave Serrano said.

So far in conference play, Sunday’s haven’t been kind to the Vols. Serrano is still searching for a consistent third starting pitcher on the weekends and it has led to a 0-4 record in conference play on Sundays.

In Saturday’s game the stat sheet may

not have shown it, but Zach Warren may have earned the role as the third starter. He allowed four runs off of five hits, but their was more to it than the stats could show.

“I told him when he came out, ‘That was as good of a start as you have had this year for us,’” Serrano said.

With all the uncertainties, the young team still has some bright spots that continue to flash, just as they did in the Auburn series.

“This game’s a lot about belief and trust and I think we are starting to see that,” Serrano said.

Hunter Martin is proving that he is the man on Friday’s and consistently pitches well enough to keep his team in games.

“My mindset out there is just to help the team win and save some arms for the rest of the weekend,” Martin said.

At the plate, Rodgers has reached base in all 32 games he has played this season, and freshman Ammons and, Lipcius have both been huge contributors. Jeff Moberg is also having a breakout season and playing like one of the top second baseman in the SEC. At 4-11 in conference play, there isn’t Hunter Martin, #12, pitches against Auburn much more margin for error for the young at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on April 13, 2017. team, so they have to start peaking soon.
