game pales in comparison to the performances of the offensive and defensive units, and more importantly, as head coach Butch Jones said, it’s about the message you send as a program.

“The message is loud and clear,” Jones said. “There is no other place in the country like Tennessee. All you have to do is look at the evidence — the success of the pro-

Police look for Denver shooting suspects The Associated Press Authorities are hunting for suspects after shooting broke out during a massive marijuana celebration in Denver, leaving two people with gunshot wounds.

The gunfire scattered thousands attending Saturday’s 4/20 counterculture holiday, the first since Colorado legalized marijuana.

A man and a woman each suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds, officials said. Local media reports said a third person was grazed.

Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said investigators are looking for one or two suspects, asking festival attendees for possible photo or video of the shootings.

He said police had no motive for the gunfire.

Witnesses described a scene in which a jovial atmosphere quickly turned to one of panic at the downtown Civic Center Park just before 5 p.m. Several thought firecrackers were being set off, then a man fell bleeding, his dog also shot.

“I saw him fall, grabbing his leg,” said Travis Craig, 28, who was at the celebration, saw the shooting and said he used a belt to apply a tourniquet to the man’s leg.

“He was just screaming that he was in pain, and wanted to know where his girlfriend was. She was OK. And then the cops showed up real quick, like, less than a minute. They put him on ambulance and left.”

The annual pot celebration this year was expected to draw as many as 80,000 people after recent laws in Colorado and Washington made marijuana legal for recreational use.

A sizable police force on motorcycles and horses had been watching the celebration since its start earlier Saturday. But authorities, who generally look the other way at public pot smoking here on April 20, didn’t arrest people for smoking in public, which is still illegal.

Police said earlier in the

week that they were focused on crowd security in light of attacks that killed three at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

“We’re aware of the events in Boston,” said Denver police spokesman Aaron Kafer, who declined to give specifics about security measures being taken. “Our message to the public is that, if you see something, say something.”

Stephanie Riedel, who traveled to the pot celebration from Pittsburgh, said she

was dancing with a hula hoop when she heard pops. A man ran past her, then she said the crowd started screaming and running away. She was about 20 feet from the shooting and heard four or five shots.

“I couldn’t make sense of what it was at first,” she said. “We were all having a good time and I was in the mindframe of, we’re here at a peace gathering. I thought it some guys playing.”

Rapper Lil’ Flip was performing when the shootings occurred.

Aerial footage showed the massive crowd frantically running from the park.

Ian Bay, who was skateboarding through Civic Center Park when shots erupted, said he was listening to music on his headphones when he looked to his right and saw a swarm of hundreds of people running at him.

“I sort of panicked.

I thought I was going through an anxiety thing because so many people were coming after me,” he said.

Before the shooting, reggae music filled the air, and so did the smell of marijuana, as celebrants gathered by mid-morning in the park just beside the state Capitol.

Group smoke-outs were planned Saturday from New York to San Francisco. The origins of the number “420” as a code for pot are murky, but the drug’s users have for decades marked the date 4/20 as a day to use pot together.

In June of 2010, Abby Gibson was at a horseback riding camp that she had participated in every summer for several years. The horse she was riding stumbled on the landing of a jump — a jump that she had been previously cleared twice. Abby lost her balance and fell. She got back up and thought she was OK. But Abby suffered a fractured liver and ruptured spleen from the fall. She was flown to UT Medical Center for emergency surgery but ultimately lost her battle to those injuries.

Abby dreamed of growing up and becoming a veterinarian. To keep her memory alive, Abby’s mother and UT student Jennifer GibsonBoyle established the Abby Elliott Gibson Memorial Scholarship. Gibson-Boyle was given ten years to reach

the $25,000 amount needed to endow the scholarship — the goal was reached in just two.

“We asked that in lieu of flowers, people make donations to the scholarship we would be establishing for her,” Gibson-Boyle said.

In addition to the private donations, UT’s veterinary hospital, PetSafe and Home Depot donated to the scholarship. The family came together and raised $2,000, and Gibson-Boyle established the annual “Walk and Wag Dog Walk” to continue to raise money for the scholarship.

Gibson-Boyle’s goal is to raise another $25,000 so that a larger scholarship can be awarded. Claire Eldridge, director of development at UT’s College of Veterinary Medicine, is confident that Gibson-Boyle will reach her goal.

1886 — Seduction is made illegal Ohio passes a statute that makes seduction unlawful.

Covering all men over the age of 18 who worked as teachers or instructors of women, this law even prohibited men from having consensual sex with women (of any age) whom they were instructing.

The penalty for disobeying this law ranged from two to 10 years in prison.

Ohio’s seduction law was not the first of its kind. An Virginia law made it illegal for a man to have an “illicit connexion (sic) with any unmarried female of previous chaste character” if the man did so by promising to marry the girl. An 1848 New York law made it illegal to “under promise of marriage seduce any unmarried female of previous chaste character.” Georgia’s version of the seduction statute made it unlawful for men to “seduce a virtuous unmarried female and induce her to yield to his lustful embraces, and allow him to have carnal knowledge of her.”

These laws were only sporadically enforced, but a few men were actually prosecuted and convicted. In Michigan, a man was convicted of three counts of seduction, but the appeals court did everything in its power to overturn the decision. It threw out two charges because the defense reasoned that the woman was no longer virtuous after the couple’s first encounter. The other charge was overturned after the defense claimed that the woman’s testimony--that they had had sex in a buggy--was medically impossible.

On some occasions, women used these laws in

order to coerce men into marriage. A New York man in the middle of an 1867 trial that was headed toward conviction proposed to the alleged victim. The local minister was summoned, and the trial instantly became a marriage ceremony.

1970 — The first Earth Day Earth Day, an event to increase public awareness of the world’s environmental problems, is celebrated in the United States for the first time. Millions of Americans, including students from thousands of colleges and universities, participated in rallies, marches, and educational programs.

Earth Day was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, a staunch environmentalist who hoped to provide unity to the grassroots environmental movement and increase ecological awareness. “The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political establishment out of its lethargy,” Senator Nelson said, “and, finally, force this issue permanently onto the national political agenda.”

Earth Day indeed increased environmental awareness in America, and in July of that year the Environmental Protection Agency was established by special executive order to regulate and enforce national pollution legislation.

On April 22, 1990, the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, more than 200 million people in 141 countries participated in Earth Day celebrations.

Earth Day has been celebrated on different days by different groups internation-

ally. The United Nations officially celebrates it on the vernal equinox, which usually occurs about March 21.

1994 — Former President Richard Nixon dies On this day in 1994, former President Richard M. Nixon dies after suffering a stroke four days earlier.

In a 1978 speech at Oxford University, Nixon admitted he had screwed up during his presidency but predicted that his achievements would be viewed more favorably with time. He told the young audience, “You’ll be here in the year 2000, see how I am regarded then.”

Nixon is most often remembered for his involvement in the Watergate scandal as president and for his Cold War-era persecution of suspected communists while serving as a U.S. senator.

However, Nixon left a legacy as complex as his personality.

Nixon did not owe his success in politics to personality or charm: in fact, even many of his staunch supporters described him as cold, aloof, crude, arrogant and paranoid. President Dwight D. Eisenhower himself, whom Nixon served as vice president, claimed that Nixon would never win the presidency because the people don’t like him. After proving his former boss wrong, Nixon left the office in disgrace, resigning in the face of impending impeachment.

His paranoia of political sabotage by his opponents had inspired him to authorize the wire-tapping of enemies and supporters alike. Ironically, it was the conversations he taped in his own office that led to his ultimate downfall.

UT professors use code to turn data into artwork Staff Report How does a computer view the human world — say, the human genome or literary works such as Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick”?

Two UT professors have provided some insight, thanks to a code they’ve created that allows the computer to transform large-scale data and information into digital images—compressed pictures composed of colorful lines.

Evan Meaney, assistant professor of art, and Amy Szczepanski, assistant research professor in electrical engineering and computer science, have made a body of artwork called Null_Sets using their code. They’ve also provided a way for the public to make their own art using the code, whether it’s converting a love song,

Smokey X takes the field for his first game in Neyland Stadium during Saturday’s Orange and White game.

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 Throughout the game, the changes that had been instilled in this Volunteer team shined, especially on the defensive end.

The Volunteer defense that last year allowed 35.7 points and 471.3 yards per game showed major improvement, only allowing one touchdown the entire game, and in total only gave up 16 points.

“Our philosophy is ‘we want to stop them as many times as possible,’” freshman defensive lineman LaTroy Lewis said. “Even if they drive a little we want to force them to a field goal.

I’m pretty proud of what we did today.”

One key factor in the improvement of the defense was their ability to get to the quarterback, something they managed to do only 17 times all of last season. The defense was able to sack the quarterback nine times, four of which came from 2013 commit Corey Vereen.

“Coming in from last year that was one of the goals of the defensive line (getting to the passer),” senior defensive end Jacques Smith said.

“Coach Strip (defensive line coach Steve Stripling) made it a goal for us as a unit, and we’ve been working on it all spring ... The defensive line showed up today, and we’re just getting better.”

The defense should feel a lot better about getting sophomore safety and defensive leader Brian Randolph back after tearing his ACL in last year’s Florida game.

Randolph made his presence felt on the field felt when he picked-off starting quarterback contender Justin Worley in the second quarter and returned it for 37 yards.

“Brian is slowly starting to work his way back and really be in game shape,” Jones said. “He’s still hampered a little bit from the recovery of his injury. But it was very encouraging for me to see his play. I thought he really elevated his play today and we’re going to need that, obviously down the stretch

here in the summer and in the fall.”

While the offense didn’t have their finest outing, one bright spot was the play of freshman running back Alden Hill, who rushed for 101 yards on 18 carries. He also added 14 yards on three catches, showing his versatility out of the backfield.

“I came out here and did some good things,” Hill said.

“But you have to go watch film. It’s not always as good or bad as it looks and I know there are some things I know I need to work on out there; conditioning and some little things like that.”

With the Orange and White game now over, the Vols will have to wait until the summer to hit the field and get back to improving as a team. Position battles will be on display and commits, such as Joshua Dobbs, Riley Ferguson and Marquez North, will all be fighting for playing time.

The Vols open the season at Neyland Stadium on Aug. 31 when they play the Austin Peay Governors.

“There is no doubt in my mind that she will achieve this, likely in the next two years,” Eldridge said. “Jennifer managed to both develop and oversee this event while a full-time student here at UT in the College of Communication and Information. I enjoyed working with her very much.”

Gibson-Boyle, a senior in communication studies, stated that organizing the “Walk and Wag” and the scholarship fund has helped greatly in her grieving process.

“I have tried my best to create something positive,”

the Patriot Act or the deed of one’s house into colorful images.

“The goal is to challenge people’s assumptions about what computer data looks like,” Szczepanski said. “In some sense, people trust the computer too much and imagine it as some magical box that does something.

They forget that there’s actually a lot of human work that went on behind the scenes to make it happen.

“In as much as we mechanize things we’re still doing things for people and to interact with people.”

Szczepanski and Meaney designed their approach by running code on a supercomputer at the Remote Data Analysis and Visualization Center (RDAV) to create many test images. The center is an initiative of the UT Joint Institute for Computational

Science and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The idea for the project began in 2010 while Szczepanski was working on an RDAV project that was trying to find ways to encourage researchers in other fields besides the hard sciences to consider using supercomputing to help their work.

She contacted Meaney, a digital artist, after a recommendation from UT’s Visual Arts Committee. Together, they wrote the code for Null_Sets. The UT Research Foundation is currently working on patenting the code.

The project is receiving widespread recognition.

Meaney recently won the jury prize for the Null_Sets project at the Distributed Microtopias exhibition at the fifteenth Annual Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival in Ithaca, N.Y.

she said. “I just try to do what I think she would want me to do. I want Abby to be remembered for who she was and not what happened to her. The scholarship and the dog walk are special ways we have chosen to honor Abby’s life, her love of animals and her dream to become a veterinarian.”

The Abby Elliott Gibson Memorial Scholarship is given to a veterinary student from an East Tennessee high school who has demonstrated commitment to the field though volunteer hours and plans to specialize in large, small or mixed animal practice. Ellen Yungmeyer, a graduate student at UTCVM, is the first recipient of the scholarship.

“I am flattered and honored to be the first recipient of Abby’s memorial scholarship,” Yungmeyer said.

“From everything I hear, Abby was a vibrant girl that loved life as much as she loved animals. Her memory will be an inspiration to me as I begin my career in veterinary medicine.”

Those interested in supporting the scholarship are invited to participate in the “2nd Annual Walk and Wag” on June 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Victor Ashe Park.

Letters Editor to the

Negative stereotyping plagues Psy’s video Jan Urbano’s column from last Tuesday about Psy’s “Gentleman” is a great example of inaccurate negative stereotyping. He said, “The music video shows how deceiving and fake the rich are — what they say contradicts what they do. Instead of acting as proper and respectful individuals, they act evilly and selfishly.”

Does this mean that all poor people are perfect citizens who never do anything selfish or improper?

Obviously, it would be absurd and irresponsible to make either of these claims, especially without giving irrefutable evidence to support them.

What about people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or even Andrew Carnegie for an example from the past. I don’t agree with the majority of what Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg believe, but there is no doubt that they do great things for many people in terms of philanthropy, jobs, and the products that they have

created. Andrew Carnegie created an empire that helped build our great country while also giving millions of dollars to charity, research, and education. He was also the richest man in the world at one time.

These are just a few examples (from several generations) of the “evil” rich people who have been so “selfish,” as Urbano seems to believe.

While it’s true that plenty of people have made it big by stealing ideas or utilizing the creations of other innovative minds, there are still many others who have been able to get rich and make others rich because of their own new ideas and innovations. Either way, we can’t just paint entire groups of people with a broad brush and expect to have a realistic outlook on the way the world works. There are good and bad people in all income brackets, races, countries and religions. I think you get the point. Also, taking life lessons and values from a ridiculous YouTube sensation like Psy is probably not the best idea.

Budget cuts overstated in Lee’s column In Lindsay Lee’s article from last Thursday titled “Obama’s budget fails to form,” she said that the automatic spending cuts that “took place” included $1.2 trillion in indiscriminate cuts to public programs. This is blatantly false and should be corrected. First of all, the sequestration that went into effect this year is spread out over a ten year period. It was divided up to about $85.4 billion per year over the next ten years. The actual cuts in program spending that will take place add up to roughly $995 billion with additional savings of about $230 billion in savings from interest that we would have to pay.

The amount per year would amount to about 5 percent or less of the total budget. This

cut still would not balance our budget, but would only actually serve to slightly decrease the rate at which our national debt (almost $17,000,000,000,000 or about $54,000/person in America) is rapidly increasing.

Also, President Obama was given the opportunity to decide where the cuts would be made but he turned it down. Unless we want to look like Greece in the next ten or fifteen years, we are going to have to start cutting our government spending and get back to a balanced budget. I took this information from the Congressional Budget Office, and more information can be found online at www.cbo. gov/publication/43907.

Strategic planning necessary for success Go & Go by

Julia Ross The job of a college student and arguably, of a human, is to learn. Learning is partly about absorbing others’ knowledge. It is also partly about creating new knowledge.

Creating something new might come from destroying an old barrier or finding a completely new way around a problem.

This process of creating scholastic knowledge also occurs within the individual. During college, much is made about recreating yourself and becoming a new person — an adult.

Comparatively little is made about how the things that you once thought of yourself will be necessarily dismantled as you move through this process. As the semester winds down, I would like to give my last tip in the “how to beat the system series” begun last fall — take some time for reflection. As I’ve written before, nothing good comes from either being too busy or being not busy enough.

Opportunities are most available to those who are patient, strategic and purposeful in their lives.

Why isn’t this piece of advice been offered more? I have a few ideas. In order to “beat the system,” it is critical that you do not confine yourself to its limits. One of the purposes of our undergraduate education is to prepare us for the world we will encounter after graduation. This world is hectic and hypercompetitive, so we are constantly advised to either avoid the rat race for as long as we can, maintain youthful innocence and party, or to get into it immediately, sign up for everything, be in charge of everything and always hold it all together. Reflecting often and living with purpose is a third alternative. As undergraduates, we don’t know what the world looks like with a bachelor’s degree. We haven’t experienced

life after college, many of us have barely experienced two decades. Since we don’t really know what we are marching toward in the pursuit of our degrees, it is important that we get to know ourselves on the way there.

Opportunities open up for you when you can speak intelligently what you hope for the future and your vision for your life. People will simply take you more seriously if you can explain your decisions, your involvement and your interests with substantive answers. “It just sounded cool,” without an explanation of why, is not going to suffice in an interview or in an essay. “Why?” is a question that you can answer much better from a prospective, rather than a retrospective stance. Your all important mentor or the variety of counseling services on campus are here to help you to tease out what activities, habits and skills will serve you well into the future and which ones only have temporary value. We should use these resources to build context for our dreams in light of the complexities of the world around us and to help us carve out productive free time in our schedules.

Productive free time is the time we spend on our own or with a friend being away from our work and activities and taking stock of what we are doing and why we are doing it. It is time spent thinking really big. We recognize the value of time like that maybe not when we are enjoying it, but when we return to the hustle and bustle of daily life afterwards and find ourselves more open, more composed, and more creative.

Simply put, we are given a lot of advice during college. We are told that we can become whomever we wish and that employers most want someone who can think critically. What we aren’t told is how to do either of those things. I propose that taking time to reflect, to examine one’s purpose, to ask “why?” and to be strategic about our plans. That’s the best way “to beat the system.”

This is it. It’s over after this. One more week of classes and a handful of days separate us from graduation. How do I summarize my experience at UT in 600 words or less? I can’t, but I will try. Here’s what I’ve done and what I hope you too will do.

Live. Live for yourself and live vicariously through others. Travel. Travel by yourself, with friends, near and far. Go on at least one road trip, per semester, per summer, per year.

Learn about yourself. Teach yourself who you are and who you are becoming. Become as independent as possible. Take initiative, but give yourself time to learn how to become an adult. It rarely happens overnight and it can be pretty terrible sometimes.

Remember that the hard times will not last.

The sun will rise in the morning and it will set in the evening. Life doesn’t stop for anyone.

Find your voice. Don’t be afraid to cause a ruckus. Be brave. Find something you are passionate about, take a stand for it, get knocked down a few times and keep standing back up.

Do something you as often as you can to make someone’s day a little better. Hold doors for everyone. Tip well or eat at home.

Walk up the Hill every day your freshman year, then take the bus after that. Take a sign language class. Spend the whole night in Hodges. Get a seat by one of the windows and watch the sun rise over campus and downtown. Find your oasis in this concrete city.

Understand that you can change your mind about anything. If you aren’t happy, change your mind about something. Don’t be afraid of changing your major. It is your future, after

all, not your parents’, not anyone else’s.

Network. Talk to your professors outside of class. Find out how human they are. Live in your own apartment. Pay your own bills.

Work full time and realize that you do have the capacity to juggle more than you ever thought possible. Take time for yourself. Listen to stupid music and blame it on the fact that you are in college. Listen to good music for that reason, too. Study abroad, because most of us who did not will always regret it.

Push yourself. Start taking care of yourself.

Branch out and try new things: food, friends, or activities. You can’t become better if you stay in your shell. Build your credit. Take out as few loans as you can. Borrow books from the library, read all of them and return them.

Camp outside of Neyland Stadium before a big game. Spend the night in ThompsonBoling for the same reason, different sport.

Meet some athletes and realize how hard they work, too. Talk to your parents, your siblings, your family, your friends back home.

I do have some regrets about college. They are all things I didn’t do, though. They are things that time has taken with them, that have passed. Take advantage of everything.

Make college yours. It won’t be handed to you and it shouldn’t be. Earn your keep. Know that college is about more than what happens in the classroom. It’s about becoming who you are. Do not give up. Fight for your future.

Finally, whatever you do, do not walk on the seal. I did not and I will be a four year graduate. Thank you, UT, for four of the most amazing years of my life. Thank you for reading my column, and thank you, to the Beacon staff for giving me the opportunity to have my voice heard. I will miss this place.

Rocky Top, you’ll always be home, sweet home to me.

‘Oblivion’ tops movie charts at opening weekend

‘Girls Love Beyonce’ expresses artist’s relationship troubles Victoria Wright Arts and Culture Editor Singer/rapper Drake released a new single titled “Girls Love Beyonce,� a track dedicated once again to his relationship woes.

The Young Money artist has been the Heartbreak Kid of music, thanks to his personal love life often involving strippers becoming the inspiration for his heartfelt and emotional lyrics touching on subjects about unrequited love and the issues surrounding casual sex.

This isn’t Drake’s first single for 2013. Earlier in the year he released his single “Started From The Bottom,� a fasterpaced track that celebrates the success of his crew and himself despite all of the obstacles he endured. Drake has often been criticized for making women’s music, not in a misogynist sense, but in that his lyrics and his beats often cater to the female ear.

It features James Fauntleroy, a producer part of the R&B production group The Y’s, singing sympathetically over the beat. The song opens as a low bass humming and slowly drifts into a slowed down beat of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name.� Listeners haven’t heard Drake this sad since

the melodramatic “Marivn’s Room� from his last album, “Take Care.� The reason why this single will be a hit has nothing to do with the lyrics, beat or fetaured artist. Since his mixtapes, Drake hasn’t strayed too far from his signature style of emo rap.

And why would he? The artist has a clever way of approaching music. His uncanny ability to make music that appeals both to men and women gives him an undying audience and makes is work timeless. This ability is what will save him despite the inevitable downfall of the Young Money team (the group will fall eventually).

As he struggles with his inner dialogue, Drake begins to question his current life of choices of hedonistic living, saying, “All my young boys round me say, “Get Money (expletive) these hoes/ Where we learn these values? I do not know to tell you.� Apparently all the clubbing and throwing money effortlessly on lighted stages has crept back up like a bad burrito after a long night of drinking. The overtones of harmonizing between Drake and Fauntleroy pair perfectively with his cynicism.

At least the rapper can console in his friends. Despite his issues with relationships,

Victoria Wright Arts & Culture Editor Movie fans slipped into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivionâ&#x20AC;? as the Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller led Hollywood with a $38.2 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.

That domestic haul comes on top of $33.7 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivionâ&#x20AC;? added in overseas markets, where the film began rolling out a week earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivionâ&#x20AC;? raised its overseas total to $112 million and its worldwide receipts to $150.2 million.

Though many people Friday were caught up in coverage of the manhunt for the suspect in the Boston Marathon explosions, it seems to have had little effect on how the film fared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivionâ&#x20AC;? took in $13.3 million on opening day Friday and $14.9 million on Saturday.

That 12 percent increase is not unusual for big new releases, which typically do better business on Saturday than Friday.

While Boston was on lockdown much of Friday, that market only accounts for about 1 percent of the nationwide box office, said Nikki Rocco, head

Drake defends his OVO crew, singing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scared to let somebody in on this/ No new friends, no, no, no.â&#x20AC;? Obviously Drake still has his infamous trust issues, but this comes as no surprise.

Often an audience wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that a general sense of melancholy should serve an artist well, but with Drake it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seemed forced. His lyrics have always read as an open diary of the anguished rapper who is just looking for someone to love. In that sense, his lyrics become relatable as

they transcend cryptic metaphors or issues often found in other rapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics. The day Drake finally settles down and finds love will be the day his fans see a different turn in his music. Perhaps the result will be profitable, but for now, listeners can predict his music to continuously shine a light into his troubled, emotional private life. Unless his songs touch on struggle in love or the success of hard work, the audience isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buying it. Thus the stoy of a tragic hero prevails.

of distribution for Universal, which released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivion.â&#x20AC;?

The manhunt mainly affected matinee business, with theaters reopening Friday night, when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the guy was arrested, I think people got back into their regular routine,â&#x20AC;? Rocco said.

The previous weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top film, the Warner Bros. baseball drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;42â&#x20AC;? held up well, slipping to second-place with $18 million in its second weekend. The Jackie Robinson biography starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford raised its domestic total to $54.1 million and is on its way to the $100 million mark, said Dan Fellman, Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of distribution.

Overseas, Paramountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;G.I. Joe: Retaliationâ&#x20AC;? got a lift with $40 million, most of it coming from a $33 million debut in China. The action sequel has topped $200 million internationally and $300 million worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivionâ&#x20AC;? came in a bit higher than industry expectations. But despite its strong opening, Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 revenue funk continued, with overall domestic receipts at $109 million, down 19.4 percent from the same weekend last year, according to boxoffice tracker Hollywood.com. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Victoria Wright is a senior in journalism and electronic media.

Offense sputters, looks for leaders David Cobb Assistant News Editor Devrin Young anticipated the question that was coming. He nodded his head, chomping at the bit to answer it as he stood amidst a circus of media.

“It’s been successful everywhere else he’s been, why can’t it be here?” said the junior running back turned receiver.

The offense installed by firstyear UT head coach Butch Jones and his offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian sputtered in Saturday’s spring game, but Jones was sure to clarify that his team has the drive to fine-tune it before August rolls around.

“This football team is as eager and as willing as any football team that I have ever coached,” Jones said.

Wide receiver who?: After a 2012 campaign which rekindled UT’s nickname as “Wide Receiver U,” the vacated shoes of Cordarrelle Patterson, Justin Hunter and Zach Rogers were left largely unfilled on Saturday.

Of the wide receivers, Young led the team in receptions with three from his newfound position in the slot, but his grabs went for a total of just 13 yards as the Vols struggled to maintain effectiveness through the air.

The day’s highlight came when Cody Blanc took an out route from Justin Worley 58 yards to the north end zone in the second quarter. It was the lone touchdown of the day for the offense and accounted for nearly half Worley’s passing yards.

“We still have a long way to go,” Blanc said. “But there’s definitely qualities that each player has.

For me personally, that was a big confidence booster going into the summer.”

Quarterbacks battle: Justin Worley — a junior with playing experience from backing up the departed Tyler Bray – started behind the first-team offensive line Saturday as he and redshirt freshman Nathan Peterman continued their quarterback battle.

Neither shone particularly, and Jones indicated that the addition of freshmen Joshua Dobbs and Riley Ferguson in the summer will only add to the competition.

Peterman logged a 9 for 23,

98 yard clip with no interceptions or touchdowns while Worley went 8 for 18 for 123 yards, with one touchdown and an interception.

Though it’s unsure who will replace Bray, Jones made it clear what the prerequisite requirements for doing so will be – leadership ability.

“Name me a good football team whose quarterback wasn’t a great leader,” Jones said. “Usually your average to below average teams, the quarterback brings no leadership value. Everything is at quarterback as the coach on the field.”

At least one familiar face: Despite the personnel turnover at the offensive skill positions, one face — or foot — responsible for scoring points remained the same Saturday as it was in the fall.

After a rocky junior year, Michael Palardy connected on field goal attempts of 36, 46 and 52 yards on the day, finishing a perfect 3-for-3.

His 52-yarder came as time expired in the second quarter. It actually hit the crossbar after which it skipped through the uprights.

Palardy went 9 for 12 last season but missed three extra points.

“That was the biggest emphasis coming into the game,” Palardy said, “was showing everybody what I was capable of doing.”

Parker Eidson • The Daily Beacon Return to the roots: After Sal Sunseri’s one-year debacle as Head coach Butch Jones celebrates with senior defensive back Byron Moore after the Orange and White game defensive coordinator in which the on Saturday.

Vols attempted to play a 3-4 front, his replacement John Jancek has returned the UT defensive front seven to a 4-3 setup.

“I think we are very comfortable because of the scheme,” said senior linebacker/defensive end combo Jacques Smith. “It’s a 4-3, something that we’re used to, and a lot of guys played in while they were in high school.”

Smith recorded one of the defense’s nine sacks on the afternoon, though sacks were awarded for simply touching the quarterbacks in order to protect them.

Freshman linebacker and early enrollee Corey Vereen recorded four of the nine.

“Corey Vereen is the type of individual that we want to recruit to come here to Tennessee,” Jones said. “He does well in the classroom. He’s quiet.

“But his game speaks.”

Spring game provides excitement, renews Volunteer fervor

Parker Eidson • The Daily Beacon

Junior quarterback Justin Worley surveys defense during Saturday’s Orange and White game.

Troy Provost-Herron Staff Writer Throughout my 19 years of life, I’ve been to maybe a dozen Tennessee football games. I know, not the most impressive number, but still.

I was in attendance this past season when Florida, Alabama and Missouri came to Knoxville. All three were exciting games, and even though we lost all three matchups, they are still going to be some of my fondest moments of my freshman year.

All that said, no Tennessee football game I have been to so far has matched what I saw for Saturday’s Orange and White game.

It wasn’t the first Orange and White game I had ever been to, and sure, it was just a scrimmage, but nonetheless, it was amazing.

It’s very possible that it was so awesome because it was my first time to be able to sit inside the press box at Neyland, but let’s put that aside.

There was something about this game that was different.

The atmosphere at previous home games was seemingly hopeful, but there was no excitement about the team.

But on Saturday, there was a buzz around this new team that head coach Butch Jones has built. And not only was there a buzz, but there was belief that the glory days of UT football were much closer than they were last season.

In fact, the glory days were as close as they could be. Five-hundred former Vols were on the sidelines.

Recruits and commits were in attendance. The convergence of past and future was something to behold.

It may have been the second-largest attendance in Orange and White game history, but there is no doubt in my mind that it had to be the most impressive of all the previous 52 Orange and White games.

I realized the difference of the atmosphere all before the game even started. But when it did, it got even better.

Last year, the defense was frustrating. Actually, frustrating would be a major understatement. But Saturday, they came out to play. The tackling issues were fixed, the pass rush was all over Justin Worley and Nathan Peterman and the secondary looked aggressive attacking the ball in the air.

Other than Alden Hill, the

offense was far from impressive, but considering the fact that every playmaker on the offense has left the team, that wasn’t that big of a surprise.

Overall, this team already looks much better than the product that former head coach Derek Dooley placed on the field last year, and that’s without most of the big name recruits who haven’t even had a chance to put on the orange and white yet.

More important than the team’s performance was the team’s demeanor. I have never seen a Volunteer team play with so much confidence and show so much enthusiasm after big plays. Last year, winning or losing, the team never seemed that excited.

Once again, it was just a scrimmage and maybe I’m getting ahead of myself.

But to me, Jacques Smith summed it up best in his postgame press conference.

“Coach Jones has just established an environment to where football is fun for us,” Smith said. “It’s no longer just a job or something you must do … He’s boosted our confidence and he’s made it fun again, and you can definitely see it in the atmosphere from the fans.”

Zack Godley throws a pitch during Sunday’s match-up against Ole Miss.

Diamond Vols swept by Rebels Dargan Southard Staff Writer The pitching was there. The offense had done enough. It was there for the taking.

All the UT baseball team needed was three more outs.

But after extending the lead to 3-1 following an eighth inning Christin Stewart homer, the Volunteers (17-20, 5-12 SEC) collapsed in the final frame, allowing three runs on just two hits en route to a 4-3 loss and a series sweep at the hands of No. 17 Ole Miss (28-12, 9-8 SEC) Sunday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

“In those kinds of situations, there’s not really any words that’s going to make them feel better, there’s nothing you can say,” head coach Dave Serrano said. “What I did tell them is that Tuesday we get another opportunity to get better as a team, and that hopefully this adversity will make us a stronger team.”

After Serrano called Sunday’s contest “a big game for this team and this program,” Tennessee’s second-year manager handed the

ball to starter Zack Godley for the third consecutive weekend finale, looking for a clutch performance out of his senior ace.

And for eight innings, the Bamberg, S.C., native was nothing short of brilliant, surrendering only four hits and one unearned run, while striking out six.

The ninth, however, was a different story.

Leading by two and needing only three outs for his second straight complete game victory, Godley gave up a leadoff double and a walk to start the frame.

With two on and nobody down, Rebel pinch hitter Christian Helsel dropped down a sacrifice bunt, looking to move the runners into scoring position. He did more than that as Godley threw the ball into left field, allowing a run to score which cut the Ole Miss deficit to one.

“It’s a shame because (Godley) battled his tail off all game for us,” Serrano said. “It’s such a shame for their rally to be created by a mistake by him.”

“I don’t know what happened, but that’s how baseball goes,” Godley added.

Consecutive RBIs followed the

error, and Ole Miss led by just a single run, heading into the final frame.

A Volunteer offense that saw catcher Ethan Bennett rope a clutch pinch hit RBI double in the seventh and Stewart – who hit .300 with three RBIs and two runs scored on the weekend – blast his second long ball of the season off the right field scoreboard in the eighth, could do nothing off Rebel closer Brett Huber, going 1-2-3 quietly to end the game.

Godley finished the afternoon with a complete game, six-hitter, giving up four runs (one earned) with seven punch outs.

A weekend series that was supposed to be emotionally charged following Tennessee’s three-game win streak proved disappointing from the get-go as Serrano’s squad fell victim to Ole Miss starter Bobby Wahl’s nearly flawless pitching in a 5-0 shutout Friday evening.

“I’m a little confused on the lack of energy and the urgency,” Serrano said after Friday’s loss.

“We have a chance to come out and beat a good team on a Friday night, which we haven’t done very

often. We just had no energy.”

Vincent Jackson was the lone bright spot in the opener, picking two of Tennessee’s three hits.

Saturday’s contest proved a bit more encouraging as the Volunteers lead 3-2 after six innings, but more pitching inconsistencies plagued Tennessee in the latter stages as the Rebels managed four runs in the game’s final three frames to squeeze out a 6-4 victory.

Junior starting pitcher Nick Williams tossed 8 1/3 innings of five-run ball, his longest outing of the season, and freshman Andrew Lee crushed his first career home run in the loss.

“You look across the field, and it’s hard for me to say this, but you see a team in Ole Miss that is expecting to win and you’re still seeing a team in our dugout that is hoping to win,” Serrano said following Saturday’s loss. “That’s a big difference right there when you have that going.”
