Ayres Hall’s new clock arrives 89 years late Kevin Letsinger News and Student Life Editor

Ben Cantwell • The Daily Beacon

Ayres Hall, which has been closed since spring 2009, is getting a clock. It was in original plans, but never was installed due to lack of funds.

Architecture welcomes new chair Staff Reports The UT graduate landscape architecture program welcomes this week its new chair, Ken McCown, a former associate professor in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at Arizona State University.

McCown, who officially begins today, brings a wealth of knowledge and energy to the program, according to Sam Rogers, associate professor of plant sciences who has served as interim chair of the landscape architecture program since January 2010.

“Ken McCown is a gifted educator who has mentored several students winning national awards,” he said. “He is committed to excellence in design and sustainability in environmental stewardship. We are fortunate to have Ken join us in a leadership role for our new program at UT.” McCown’s expertise centers on issues relating to design, planning and sustainability. His background is in architecture, landscape architecture and urban design, and he uses this background to solve contemporary issues such as the integration of buildings and landscapes, the incorporation of habitat and water quality into urban design, and most importantly, connecting people to the landscape through design.

Some of McCown’s awards and honors include the American Society of Landscape Architects merit award for the Taj Mahal National Park and Cultural Heritage District, the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture award for Excellence in Design Studio Teaching, and the Arizona ASLA award for the Sustainable Systems Inventory for Scottsdale, Ariz.

McCown also was the resident director of the Richard and Dion Neutra VDL Research House II at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, College of Environmental Design, where he raised more than a quarter of a million dollars in donated funds, services, materials and labor.

The UT landscape architecture graduate program — a joint collaboration between the College of Architecture and Design and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources — welcomed its inaugural class of students in fall 2008.

The first of its kind in the state, the program was accepted for candidacy status with the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board and will remain a candidate program until the first class graduates. After the first class graduates in spring 2011, the professional degree program will be reviewed for accreditation.

Though a relatively new program, McCown is ready to take the helm and help build on what’s been started.

“I am very excited to work with a great group of people to grow the new program and am humbled by the efforts put forth by the faculty and administration to get the program to this point,” he said. “I hope to honor their efforts through my own to continue the momentum they’ve started! I’m also looking forward to the interdisciplinary program, which will allow us to use collective speculation to provide analysis and design that responds to contemporary problems and opportunities.”

Students will finally be able to tell what time is associated with the chimes of the historic Ayres Hall starting in the fall.

The new clock was meant for installation during the original 1921 construction of the landmark building on the university campus.

The university first pulled the plug on the special project over 80 years ago due to a lack of financial resources. However, the current addition is something that UT officials planned on in the construction blueprint, in order to bring Ayres Hall to a state better than its original facade.

The hall, named after Brown Ayres, the twelfth president of the university, is home to the Department of Mathematics and is planned to host a grand reopening around Homecoming Week in the fall.

President Ayres formed a School of Commerce, headed by Theodore Glocker. Other accomplishments included a separate library building constructed in 1911, scholarships that were provided for each electoral district within the state to attract students outside of the Knoxville area and a more-than-600 percent increase in student enrollment.

Betsey Creekmore, senior associate vice chancellor in finance and administration, said there simply was not enough money at the time that Ayres was originally built to fund the project.

“One of the classes donated funds for a clock, but it was still too expensive,” Creekmore said, emphasizing the expense of clocks and that the clock and the motor must last for a long time.

“When the renovation was planned, it was a hope to put the clock back in, but we were not sure if we could,” Creekmore said, “but the bids were very advantageous, so we are putting in the exact same design that the architects planned for.”

A clock was always on the table for being added to the landmark structure, including a class gift in 1931, followed by another in 2001. The decision to wait for this renovation was made in order to properly install a clock.

Erin Gormley, entering undecided freshman, said it will be exciting to know that what was once not an option due to funds, is now a physical part of the university.

“It is important to restore the history of the university and knowing that a clock that was once planned for Ayres Hall, the most notable building on campus, is finally being installed is amazing,” Gormley said.

UT prepares for Solar Decathlon Kevin Letsinger News and Student Life Editor The UT Zero Energy House, which is visible in the Humanities Plaza, is responsible for Team Living Light, an interdisciplinary group of undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Tennessee, being accepted into the Solar Decathlon 2011.

The event, hosted by the Department of Energy, is to challenge students to design and build a functioning, energy-efficient, solar-powered house. 2011 is the first time in history that the university will compete in the decathlon.

A preliminary round is scheduled to cut 14 of the 34 teams, leaving 20 projects in the final competition. Team Living Light was one of those 20 teams selected for the competition, to take place in October 2011.

Tonya Alli, a Team Living Light member, said the Solar Decathlon only occurs every two years in Washington, D.C. and getting accepted in the first try is very exciting.

“We’ve been doing research and building prototypes since spring 2008,” Alli said. “Last semester we submitted a proposal to the Department of Energy and got accepted.”

“The next competition is in October, and for now, we are finishing the drawings and design and will begin construction in December/January,” Alli said, adding that they will then

ship the finished project to D.C. and assemble it there on the national mall.

It is an international competition and this year, teams from the United States will compete with other teams from countries like China.

“Last year Germany won, so it’s really an honor to be competing,” Alli said.

Alli said that as students leave, others come in to replace them.

“There are so many kids that have been a part of the process over time,” Alli said.

The UT Zero Energy House is a prototype for what the team is actually building, representing only a third of what the finished product will look like. Alli said the UT Zero Energy House was a way to experiment with what they wanted to work with and what produced the best results.

As far as incorporating their designs into actual university buildings, Alli said they could implement their practices and design principles in actual construction projects on campus.

“UT is going green, so I can definitely see it in the future,” she said. “I hope it does (become a reality).”

According to a Tennessee Today press release, the entire College of Architecture and Design is supportive of the project.

“The Zero Energy House is an experimental project focused on sustainable design and energy conservation, with advanced strategies for mini-

UT students built this prototype to earn a spot in the Solar Decathlon that is taking place in Washington, D.C. in 2011. Their next goal is to build a bigger solar house worth over $350,000. mal environmental impact,” said John McRae, dean of the College of Architecture and Design.

“The house is only a glimpse of what Team Living Light is capable of creating —

with minimal funds even,” he said. “I am excited to see their finished project for the Solar Decathlon competition and am certain that their intense creative efforts will pay off.”

Jason’s Deli is opening a new location on Cumberland Avenue joining the Jason’s Deli location in Cedar Bluff. The restaurant will open sometime this month.

Bluff City police site now parody of speed cams BLUFF CITY, Tenn. — Brian McCrary found the perfect venue to gripe about a $90 speeding ticket when he went to the Bluff City Police Department’s website, saw that its domain name was about to expire, and bought it right out from under the city’s nose.

Now that McCrary is the proud owner of the site, http://www.bluffcitypd.com, the Gray, Tenn., computer network designer has been using it to post links about speed cameras like the one on U.S. Highway 11E that caught him and how people don’t like them.

“It’s kind of surprising that they’d just let it lapse like that,” McCrary said, adding that the new site has logged 1,200 unique visitors since he took it over May 22. “I figured they would be aware (it was about to expire) and

renew it on their own.”

Domain names are bought and sold on a subscription basis through hundreds of website hosting companies, such as Go Daddy, which according to a company spokesperson currently manages more than 41 million domains including “www.bluffcitypd.com.”

When someone buys a domain name they can do whatever they want with it for the year that it’s registered to them. They can sell it, use it to keep someone from making a website, or use it to host a site that makes fun of or attacks a company with that name.

But at the end of that yearlong registration period, the web hosting company regains control over the domain name and has the option of canceling it and effectively taking down the customer’s website or selling the domain to someone else.

NY couple weds in shark tank, wearing wet suits RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A New York couple has taken the plunge inside a shark tank.

April Pignataro and Michael Curry were lowered in a steel cage into the tank to exchange their wedding vows at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead, N.Y., on Sunday.

She wore a white wet suit; he wore a black one.

The experienced divers spoke their vows into radio headgear transmitted to a minister outside the tank. About 75 guests watched from behind glass.

The tank is part of the Lost City of Atlantis shark exhibit.

CLOCK continued from Page 1 As for other notable changes on the Hill, a patio will be installed on the north side of the building, and inside, blackboards will be replaced with glass boards. Central air conditioning will cool off students during class, and the wood floors are being refinished and reinstalled in the new classrooms. This, according to a recent article in the Higher Ground, the College of Arts and Sciences’ online magazine. The renovated Ayres Hall will be one of the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified buildings on campus.

The clock will be visible from anywhere that the Ayres Hall tower is visible, getting rid of the final excuse of student tardiness.

‘Down’ marks departure for ‘Mars’ creator Robby O’Daniel Editor-in-Chief In Starz’s continuing quest to gain ground in the premium channel original series market cornered by HBO and Showtime, “Party Down” is the best argument for giving Starz a look.

The ensemble comedy comes partly from the minds behind “Veronica Mars” — Rob Thomas (not that guy from Matchbox 20) and Dan Etheridge. And it’s easy to see the connections between the two shows. Two series regulars were regulars on “Veronica Mars” — Ken Marino and Ryan Hansen. Series star Adam Scott was a guest star on “Veronica Mars,” and so was season one regular Jane Lynch (before she left “Party Down” for that horrid show “Glee.”)

Then a whole plethora of “Veronica Mars” regulars have guest starred in “Party Down,” most prominently Kristen Bell (who played Veronica).

But strangely enough, the similarities end mostly at comparing the cast lists. “Veronica Mars” was a teenage noir about a private eye, with hour-long serial mysteries. “Party Down” is mostly in-jokes about acting and Hollywood, without a trace of the melodrama and high-school angst that “Veronica Mars” often employed. Both shows are good for completely different reasons, and it’s refreshing that Thomas decided to work on such a different project for Starz (especially considering he created another teenage angsty show in “90210” for The CW).

Even the humor differs between “Party Down” and “Veronica Mars.” “Mars” had that blink-and-you’ll-miss-it repartee and classic pop-culture references seen in shows like “Gilmore Girls.” “Down” is more of a commentary on the absurdities of the modern day.

But both the writing of “Mars” and “Down” excel at shining the light on a setting and investigating every part of it.

The first two seasons of “Mars” shined a light on the typical high-school experience, and then the series transitioned (a little less than seamlessly but it’s difficult to make such a drastic change) to the college world with the third and final season and thus tackled much different subject matter. “Party Down” has meandered through its first season and onto its second in much the same fashion.

In the second-season premiere, “Party Down” focused on the drawbacks of fame. Fortunately, for the viewers, it was not that melodramatic, feel-sorry-for-yourself way that people like Kanye West and Lady Gaga employ but rather a humorous take.

When first seeing Jimmi Simpson (who played one of the creepy McPoyle brothers in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) decked out in Marilyn Manson-like attire and makeup in the premiere, the viewer might assume Simpson’s going to do what he did in “Sunny” — act his bizarre best.

Instead, his character, hard-rocker Jackal Onassis — yes, really — argues that having sex with countless models in mansions actually sucks, and he wants something “real” in his life. So he decides to switch jobs for the night with Party Down bartender Roman DeBeers, played by Martin Starr

‘Greek’ proves lighthearted farce Brandi Panter Managing and Chief Copy Editor Any film that boasts Russell Brand, Diddy and Jonah Hill of “Superbad” fame in the marquee would seem as though it is destined for comedic glory. “Get Him to the Greek,” though in no contention to be this summer’s “The Hangover,” still manages to be a satisfying comedy that tickles the funny bone in all the right places.

From the opening scene, Brand’s idiot rock star Aldous Snow is clearly not here to break down any intellectual barriers — though he certainly seems to identify himself as a revolutionary, despite not being able to name the country or problem that he is trying to resolve.

Enter Aaron Green (Hill), a hapless, under-sexed and overweight music industry slum. He idolizes Snow, who has fallen on hard times, and wants to help redeem his career. He proposes the idea to his boss played by Diddy, a scene-stealing performance that is easily one of the funniest of the year. His boss attempts to sway Aaron into a disillusionment of big wig, bottom-line, profit-minded behavior. It all seems as though it is going according to plan, with sweet, shy Aaron being genuinely awestruck by the big rock star of yesteryear standing right in front of him... then, Snow speaks.

Brand and Hill have obnoxiously amazing chemistry, if we are to locate a place to begin this critique.

The dialogue, though at times lacking, is delivered in a beautiful British accent by Brand, who plays narcissistic idiot like a violin. Everything about the way these two relate, rock god and giggly fan, is outrageously funny and nerve wracking.

The screenplay, though, often has long dry spells with filler conversations and “getting-to-know-you-deeper” moments that really just go absolutely nowhere. Rose Byrne, playing Snow’s toxic ex-girlfriend and international pop star Jackie O, is both underutilized and yet so daunting when she does appear on screen, you honestly forget why you missed her.

She is unbelievably funny, but the character is so painful to watch that you almost wish you could crawl under your seat and hide when she speaks.

Brand is himself a wonder, dancing on the line of adorable man-child idiot with very adult vices and immature, self-destructive git. One moment, you find yourself giggling with childish delight as he chews out Metallica’s Lars Ulrich for always wanting to talk about “feelings” and the next gasping in horror as he engages in what might be the most awkward and terrifying ménage à trois ever captured on screen.

Eventually, the pampered rock star grows up and realizes his true passion, blah blah blah, warm and fuzzies.

Let’s move on to the best part of the film.

If there is anyone out there who has ever accused Diddy of having a sense of humor, this reviewer bows in deep gratitude to you. For everyone else: this man absolutely makes the film. From the moment he shows up, the growling, hardened record exec is drawing the biggest laughs — from yelling at his employees, engaging in drug use and participating in a ridiculous car chase, Diddy is beyond being labeled a scene

stealer. Even listening to him narrate a threatening text message is a riot.

On a side note, Elisabeth Moss (”Mad Men”) might be engaged to funny man Fred Armisen, but she clearly didn’t take any notes from him — her monotone performance lacks any detectable traits of humor and makes it hard to understand why Aaron runs back to this girl.

Overall this film is worth a watch, if for no other compelling reason than it will be the only time this year that you hear the song “Furry Walls” being sang.

(Bill from the seminal “Freaks and Geeks”).

So the confident Jackal takes off his costume and makeup and enters the mild-mannered job of bartending, and awkward Roman dons the garb and facepaint of superstar Jackal Onassis. Comedy abounds. In reaction to being asked for a beer, Jackal (as bartender), simply says, “Yes, you may have a beer” and does nothing. When attempting to proposition a group of three women for sex, Roman (as Jackal) asks nonchalantly, “Why don’t we go to my dressing room — the three of us? I’d do you first. Does that turn you on?” This awkward humor, popularized by NBC’s “The Office,” is what “Party Down” succeeds most at.

And the entire message of the episode — that fame does not truly matter in the end as much as the content of the person’s character — is hammered home to death for comedic effect. Patrons constantly tell bartender Jackal that he is a nobody, and the one woman who has personal time with Roman as a music star ends up freaking out when she finds out Roman is just “some guy.”

Perhaps the moment that brings the hilarious premiere to its peak is when Jackal, back in his Manson-like regalia, is talking to Party Down team leader Henry (Scott). As three women join Jackal, he tells Henry, “I envy you.”

“Party Down” airs Fridays at 10 p.m. on Starz. To watch the season premiere, visit Starz’ official website at http://www.starz.com.

Rising — High-concept nature of McDonald’s ads Now we think America knows what to expect from McDonald’s ads, depending on what time of day one sees them.

In the mornings, during those cartoons of yesteryear, usually McDonald’s ads feature a tall, smiling clown named Ronald McDonald peddling Happy Meal toys. There’s usually some whimsical motif like a playground or water park (summer) or snowy wonderland (winter).

Ronald, the master manipulator as “Super Size Me” filmmaker Morgan Spurlock would have you believe, becomes the pied piper of processed hamburgers and greasy French fries.

Then there’s the afternoons: McDonald’s tells us that <famous athlete> enjoys the voluptuous Big Mac — with its disgusting secret-sauce concoction — and we should too. Or McDonald’s might tell us that a bunch of skateboards/rappers/smiling people are “lovin’ it,” and we should too! Perhaps the mesmerizing clown is more effective at this schtick, as it seems like there’s more McDonald’s ads aimed at children to indoctrinate them in the Church of the McDouble.

But now McDonald’s is taking a step in the direction of political commentary ... or social commentary ... or something. Its newest ad, airing in France, depicts a 47-second story of a closeted gay teenager having lunch at McDonald’s with his father. He gets a phone call from a male classmate, who he is probably seeing romantically. His father comes back and tells him that it’s too bad his school is all boys because he could get all the girls. If you hadn’t picked up on the context clues yet, a knowing smile from the protagonist seals the deal. Then there’s melodramatic, acoustic music with the slogan “come as you are” and a McDonald’s logo with a green background.

It’s no secret that this ad changed the world. What we really want to know is — will there be more? Now that this ad has broken down barriers between the homosexual community and the homophobe community, where else will McDonald’s strike? How does McDonald’s feel about the death penalty? We at the Beacon are curious about what McDonald’s feels about Palestine. Then of course there’s the old standby checklist of racism, sexism, abortion, etc.

Does that green background mean that McDonald’s is moving toward a more high-concept, altruistic nature? It suggests that McDonald’s no longer worries about one child eating Chicken McNuggets but rather the big-picture concept of world hunger. Regardless of where this humanitarian McDonald’s goes from here, one thing is certain: This McLife has just gotten a lot more filling — both in our stomachs and in our minds.

Rising — Probability of no-hitters and the perfect game This time last year, there were 17 perfect games in the history of Major League Baseball, and the last one had occurred back in May 2004 with Randy Johnson’s dominance of the eventual division-winning Atlanta Braves. Fast forward to today, and there’s 20 perfect games on the record books, and without the factor of human error, there would be 21.

All of a sudden, the floodgates have opened for pitching perfection in a single game. There have been 11 no-hitters since Johnson in 2004 as well, with at least two per year since 2007.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle achieved perfection in 2009, and two have done so already in this young 2010 season.

Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden became immortal in the minds of baseball statisticians by not allowing a baserunner against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Braden had the famous argument with New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez earlier in the year when Rodriguez ran on Braden’s pitching mound during a game. Rodriguez said he did not want to talk about it because he did not want to “extend his extra 15 minutes of fame.”

Braden’s pitching against the Rays on May 9 extended it well into eternity.

Then there’s Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay — baseball’s best pitcher — who shut down the Florida Marlins on May 29, en route to a 1-0 Phillies victory and a perfect game for himself. Halladay hardly needed further recognition or validation as one of baseball’s all-time greats, but the perfect game adds yet another Hall of Fame credential.

But what really grabbed headlines in recent weeks was the almost-perfect game that Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga pitched on June 2 against the Cleveland Indians. According to the Wikipedia page — yes, there is a Wikipedia page called “Armando Galarraga’s nearperfect game” less than a week after it happened — the game is sometimes referred to as the “28-out perfect game” (because Galarraga had to get an extra out because of a bad call).

With two outs in the top of the ninth, Galarraga coaxed a groundball to the right side of the infield — a simple groundout to end the inning. But it was ruled a single instead. Even the local announcers said he was out before adjusting the call to safe after seeing umpire Jim Joyce’s hands wave horizontal. Replays showed the throw beat the batter by more than a step, and the first baseman’s foot was clearly on the bag before the batter reached first.

After seeing a replay postgame, Joyce tearfully apologized, but it remains perhaps the most egregious call in baseball history.

Quality does not hinge on movie type Se ar ching fo r Su b li m i ty by

An English professor once taught me that the word sublime meant “to be as close to heaven as humanly possible.” I’m not exactly sure why it came up — it’s about as popular a word these days as Sublime is a band — but I’ve found that it appears a lot when philosophers talk about art.

Well at least that’s what Wikipedia says.

Still, it doesn’t matter if you think of heaven as a place or a state of mind: If good art equals sublime art, then our aesthetic endeavors should help us find a better place. This might seem needlessly highbrow, yet to say that art “transcends” or “is better than something so crude as entertainment” is just as close-minded as saying it is merely that.

I loved movies for being fun long before I loved them for being sublime, yet I hate even having to present that as a dichotomy, as if there existed some sort of inexplicable divide between the two. In actuality, there is not. Let me explain: I’ve met people who think there are “good” movies and there are the other movies that don’t try to be “good” in lieu of something else.

In a sense, these movies that don’t mind being “different” (a.k.a. bad) have a different appeal than good movies — indeed, this is an appeal that good movies will never be able to have because of their high-mindedness. These same people might also say that these bad movies are fun (or more fun): “Sure, it’s not a good movie, but I enjoyed it,” or “But I thought it was funny anyways.” This is unsettling to me.

Baseball should widen scope of replays Bec aus e I Sa i d S o by

Amber Harding

EDITOR IN CHIEF

praise things that offended them or so twisted as to denounce things that they love, why should they think a movie they didn’t enjoy was good or a movie they loved was bad? The only explanation that I can come up with is that people think that they won’t have to defend their enjoyment of a movie if they label it bad (and thus not worth dissecting). Likewise, they most likely won’t have to defend themselves if it is considered “good” because there may be less people holding contradictory opinions.

I figure it is all an effort to finagle their way out of explaining at all why they do or don’t like something — you know, because that’s hard and stuff. What they don’t realize is that it’s perfectly acceptable to genuinely like or dislike nearly any movie as long as you have a reason. There were a few respectable critics who praised “The Happening,” for goodness’ sake. Maybe it would help them to be familiar with Duke Ellington’s famous words, “If it sounds good and feels good, then it is good.” Here are some of my own words, “Movies are not predetermined to be good or bad. ‘Speed Racer’ is great. Down with the haters.”

Anyway, hopefully this helps explain why this divide of movies as either “fun” or “sublime” is a false dilemma. As far as enjoying a movie as a thing in itself (as opposed to also considering external factors such as who you were with or where you ate afterwards), there are good movies and there are bad movies, and this extends to all other forms of art. The film itself is different from the experience of going to the movie theater and eating popcorn or sitting on your couch and eating pizza rolls. One can, in theory, have a bad time at the theater but consider the movie fun — and if a movie is fun, then it is therefore sublime. Now go watch “Hot Tub Time Machine” and be lifted to the heavens.

I don’t know how this can be any more obvious.

Seriously. After Major League Baseball umpire Jim Joyce completely robbed Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga of a perfect game — something very few pitchers ever accomplish — how can anyone still say MLB doesn’t need instant replay?

OK, so they have it already ... kind of. As it stands now, MLB officials can review questionable home runs. But most umpires refuse to use the technology. And it’s this kind of prideful grandstanding (I’m talking to you, Joe West.) that is bringing shame and embarrassment on the sport.

Let’s rewind to May 18, 2008, during the Subway Series finale between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. Carlos Delgado hit a fly ball down the left-field line, and thirdbase umpire Mike Reilly initially — and correctly — ruled the hit a three-run home run.

After arguments from Yankees manager Joe Girardi and shortstop Derek Jeter, home plate umpire Bob Davidson overturned the call and ruled Delgado’s hit a foul ball.

Now, unless you’re Davidson or a hardcore New York fan, you probably don’t remember this particular incident. Why? Because the Mets still won the game 11-2 and because very few people actually care about baseball in May. Fast forward, however, to October. Imagine this same scenario occurring in game seven of the World Series. Baseball fans across the country would be riotous, and one poor team would be royally screwed. And maybe I’m a sap, but I don’t think anyone deserves to go through the same devastation that Galarraga experienced.

It’s about time baseball gets with the program. What good is a “replay system” if it’s never used and has a tremendously narrow scope? The NFL, NBA and NHL all have some form of instant replay, but MLB has been slow

to jump on the bandwagon because of its dedication to “the human element” — no matter how much embarrassment this stubbornness has brought upon the league.

When Davidson overturned the call on Delgado’s home run, he was more than 100 yards away from where the ball landed. This is equivalent to an NFL referee attempting to make an out-of-bounds call from one end zone to the other. Luckily for fans, however, the NFL saw the light a little sooner than baseball officials did.

For baseball, a game that prides itself in its records and statistics, not using available means to guarantee the accuracy of calls is foolish. I’m not saying every ball and strike should be up for dispute. But when a game-changing, controversial call occurs, both teams deserve fairness.

Many critics of instant replay have argued that implementing it would be disrespectful to the traditions of baseball, but if the technology exists and it’s not hurting anyone, then I can’t understand why it wouldn’t be used.

Home run records are already tainted with asterisks from alleged steroid use and corked bats; maybe MLB officials should finally realize that America’s favorite pastime doesn’t need any more scandals.

But wherever there is common sense, there are also whiny fools arguing against it. Some managers have argued against not only the removal of the human element, but also that instant replay could slow down an already threehour game. Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella is one of the most outspoken of this group.

“I don’t like the idea,” Piniella told a reporter for MLB.com. “When the NFL coaches drop that red handkerchief (for a review), I go to the refrigerator for about four, five minutes.”

Right, Sweet Lou, because you have never unnecessarily delayed a game with your kicking, screaming and tantrum throwing.

I don’t care if the game is a few minutes longer. I don’t care about umpires and their egos. As a fan, I want to see officials get the calls right. Don’t agree? Try putting yourself in Galarraga’s shoes.

Duo falls to Virginia in tennis NCAA championship finals

Rugby club loses in quarterfinals

guys; they got on a roll and didn’t let up,” Smith said.

Sandgren said they were relieved they won the first set and then had a few mishaps in the next two sets.

The team’s energy level was also a factor during the championship final. Not only had they been playing for days without rest, but they had two three-set matches to make it to the finals.

The first three-set match was good, because it helped the pair’s game, but the others hurt the two because they had to stay out on the court longer, Sandgren said.

The final was somewhat of a rematch of last year’s final where Sandgren and Smith lost to Virginia’s Shabaz and Dominic Inglot.

While Sandgren said that he wanted to beat them for the loss last year, Smith said he didn’t think about last year’s match against Virginia coming into the final.

“I just tried to concentrate on my own game,” he said.

Despite their loss in the final, Sandgren and Smith had an amazing 41-9 season, one of the best in UT doubles history.

The two have played as a doubles pair for three seasons and won 79 matches together.

They also achieved Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-America honors twice. Sandgren and Smith finished the season ranked third in the nation.

Smith said he didn’t know who would replace Sandgren as his doubles partner for next year, as they will try out different combinations during practices.

For Sandgren, the doubles championship match was his last as a Volunteer. Sandgren plans on trying to play doubles on the professional tour. If it doesn’t work out, he says he will graduate in December with his aerospace engineering degree.

Tennessee senior Davey Sandgren and junior J.P. Smith once again made a run to the NCAA Doubles Championship final, breaking the school record for doubles wins in a season on their way.

The road to the finals wasn’t easy for the No. 2-seed doubles duo. Sandgren and Smith fought back from one set down to defeat William and Mary’s Keziel Juneau and Sebastien Vidal 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 in the first round.

Sandgren and Smith said it was difficult for them to regroup for the doubles tournament because they had just lost in the national team championship final against USC, and they had no days off. After they lost the first set in the opening round, though, they wanted to win it even more, Sandgren said.

In the round of 16, they rolled over Oklahoma State’s Aleksey Bessonov and Oleksandr Nedovyesov 6-3, 7-6 (4).

Sandgren and Smith had a tough quarterfinal. They did not break their opponent’s serve until the third set in their win against Wake Forest’s Iain Atkinson and Steven Forman 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-3.

The duo achieved its school record-breaking 41st win in the semifinal, routing North Carolina's Clay Donato and Stefan Hardy 6-3, 6-2.

“I was happy about that, and hopefully I can chase that again next year,” Smith said. The previous record of 40 wins had been held by Byron Talbot and Shelby Cannon since 1986.

In the championship match, Sandgren and Smith took the first set but struggled to hold serve in the next two in their loss to Virginia’s Drew Courtney and Michael Shabaz 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-3.

“They’re both big serving

The Tennessee Rugby Football Club has played in many tournaments during its history on campus, but none perhaps more important than this past weekend’s 7’s Collegiate Championship Invitational, which pitted 16 of the nation’s top sides against one another on national television.

7’s is different from the usual game of rugby the UTRFC plays during its season. The number of players is dropped from 15 to seven, and the number of minutes in a half is dropped from 40 to just seven. The field, however, remains the same size. This adds up to a blistering pace, with plenty of breakaways and tries.

This fast pace and high energy caught the eye of the International Olympic Committee, which approved the sport for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. This past weekend the nation got to see some athletes who could very well find themselves in Brazil in just a few short years.

Tennessee’s tournament run started on Friday with an evening match against Indiana University. The two clubs, which had met earlier during the regular season, were both poised to make their mark on the national stage.

Indiana struck first, but the Vols answered quickly and were able to strike twice in the first half with tries by Samuel Anderson and Benji Goff. Indiana came out of the gate strong again in the second half but was no match in the end for the two more tries put down by Anderson and Jonathan Brown.

“We’ve had a powerful performance thus far,” Brown said of the game. “I think we played well, considering we were still shaking off the cobwebs.”

Saturday morning came early with the Vols facing off against rival Florida. As even as the two sides had played during the regular season, this game was all Vols.

Two tries each by Anderson and Mason Howard, as well as individual tries by both Brown and Goff led to Tennessee’s 35-0 routing of the Gators. Goff said playing on such a high level affected the team’s focus, by bringing the players together.

“Being on such a big stage really had a positive impact on our • Photo courtesy of Ed Hagerty team because we knew what was at stake,” Goff said. “With the Captain Benji Goff sprints to the try line against Florida cameras and pressure on us, we knew we had bring it all.”

The Vols’ rest was short-lived, however, with a game pitting in this past weekend’s USA 7’s Collegiate them against San Diego State University Saturday evening. Both Championship Invitational. teams came into the game undefeated in tournament play and both were looking to gain the No. 1 seed from the pool with a win. unable to capitalize and were defeated by Cal 36-0.

“We have a great understanding of how to play this game and The Aztecs capitalized early on Tennessee errors to go ahead 7-0. The Vols answered quickly once again with a runback by brought one of the better 7’s teams up here,” head coach Butch Brown on the ensuing kickoff. Another Aztec try and a team effort Robertson said after the game. “We lacked some of the physical skills and depth that other teams have, but I think we performed from Tennessee ending in a Nick Evans try led to a 14-all tie.

With just minutes to go, the Aztecs capitalized when a collision admirably.”

For Anderson, being able to represent his school and his club put UT players on the ground. With only seconds remaining, the Vols were unable to mount a comeback and were dealt their first meant a lot.

“It feels great to be able to play on such a stage for our school loss of the tournament, 19-14.

Coming out of their pool 2-1 with a second seeding pitted the and, more importantly, all the guys in our club,” he said. “We all Vols against perennial contender California in the championship know how important this tournament was, and it was great to be quarterfinals. The Vols had good looks in the game but were able to share the experience with everyone.”

Golf team ends season with 25th-place tie Matt Dixon Staff Writer The Tennessee men’s golf team concluded their season with a 25th-place tie at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship at the Honors Course in Chattanooga this past week.

The six-day event featured the top 30 teams from regional play, and Tennessee’s 7-over-par, three-day total of 884 failed to place among the top eight teams which advanced into match play competition to determine the national champion, a title eventually won by Augusta State.

Head coach Jim Kelson just felt his Volunteer squad never got into a rhythm on the course during their three days of competition.

"It's just really disappointing," Kelson said following Thursday’s round. "It seemed like we would have some good things going, and then we would give it back. And it seemed like that happened two or three times each round.”

On Tuesday the team collected a score of 297, 9 over par.

David Holmes led the way, posting an even-par 72, which included parring the final 16 holes. His solid round put him in a tie for 36th individually. The Knoxville native was pleased with his ball-striking during the round but was upset with his short game around the green.

"I hit the ball really well," the senior captain said after his opening round. "I think I missed two or three greens all day. I just did not make any putts. I'm pretty happy with how I hit (the ball), and (it’s) eventually going to drop (in the hole).”

Heading into Wednesday’s round, the Vols were 10 strokes back of the coveted eighth-place spot in the team standings.

The team began the day well, climbing all the way up to 15th on the leaderboard and within striking distance of reaching match play, but a lengthy weather delay stopped all Tennessee momentum, and the team finished the second round, part of which had to be concluded early Thursday morning, in a tie for 26th, with a 14-over-par score of 576.

"We were three- to four-under (par on the first nine holes), and that's the number we were shooting at," Kelson said following the round. "If we had played really well coming in (to the final nine holes), I thought we could finish at that number.

But we didn't."

Garrick Porteous shot a team-low two-under-par 70 which placed him in 21st position heading into the third round.

The Vols entered the final round needing to shoot a season low to have any chance of advancing. A seven-over-par 295 put the team in a tie for 25th place.

Holmes again led the way with a two-under-par 70 and finished the tournament tied for 24th individually. Porteous’ three-round, 2-over-par total of 218 placed him in a tie for 50th.

Robin Wingardh, who shot a 3-over-par 219, finished just behind Holmes. Jay Vandeventer and Darren Renwick shot 16 over par and 22 over par, respectively.

The season didn’t end the way Tennessee wanted it to, but this year’s team did finish third in the San Diego Regional and advanced to the NCAA Championships in consecutive years for the first time since the mid-1990s.

"The bottom line is we were ranked 23rd, 24th or 25th coming into this tournament, and we're going to end up around the same thing,” Kelson said after concluding play Thursday. “…This is going to sting for a little while because we obviously had higher hopes than this. We could have played better than (25th place), no question. But now we start preparing for next year."
