Wheel locks to replace towing R.J. Vogt Managing Editor

Hannah Cather • The Daily Beacon

UT Board of Trustees has approved a plan to seek ownership of 4.3 miles of city-owned streets. This includes most of the streets between Neyland Drive and Cumberland Avenue, including Volunteer Boulevard, Andy Holt Avenue and Lake Loudoun Boulevard. It also includes a one-block stretch of Thirteenth Street between White and Cumberland Avenues.

Starting next week, students who disregard parking regulations will encounter wheel locks, the newest cost-cutting big idea.

The switch from towing vehicles to leaving them stuck in place comes out of a concern for the time and expense of UT officers, according to Mark Hairr, the director of parking and transit services.

“It saves a lot of time and effort is the primary reason,” he said.

Wheel locks also remove the potential damage that towing a vehicle can cause and eliminates the stress on drivers of fleeting panic when their car has disappeared. The new measure saves money for the university, as towing costs continue to rise.

Drivers who return to locked vehicles will be able to pay the outstanding fines at the Parking and Transit Services office during its business hours, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday or online after hours. Once the fee is paid, a wheel lock technician will remove the impediment from the wheel.

“We can remove the wheel-lock whether it’s in the evening or weekends or whatever the case may be,” Hairr said. “It’s 24/7.”

Towable offenses now become wheel-lockable ones; if a student acquires three outstanding citations and/or a $250 outstanding balance, he or she may find the vehicle locked in place.

The newest deterrent to illegal campus parking, wheel locks will be used only on vehicles parked on UT property. City streets, like Volunteer Boulevard and Fraternity Park Drive, are immune, for now.

At last week’s Board of Trustees meeting, however, the board approved a measure to assume ownership of 4.3 miles of campus streets that currently fall under the City of Knoxville’s jurisdiction. Though technically owned and maintained by the City, the following streets could be under UT’s watch as early as January: Twentieth Street, Andy Holt Avenue, Chamique Holdsclaw Drive, Fraternity Park Drive, Johnny Majors Drive, Lake Loudoun Boulevard and Pat Head Summitt Street.

Chris Cimino, vice chancellor for finance and

administration, said the university has budgeted about $147,000 annually for maintaining the new streets and asserted that the cost is worth it.

According to a UT press release, Cimino said that construction projects will be expedited and the campus beautification master plan will be augmented. He also pointed out another obvious benefit: the right to control and monitor on-street parking.

Students typically enjoy relaxed parking meter regulations and use the city’s spaces for free, as evidenced by the parallel-parked vehicles lining streets like Volunteer Boulevard. With the looming shift in ownership, however, the free ride to convenient parking may be coming to an end.

Marianela D’Aprile, a rising senior in architecture, received a ticket in Spring 2013 after parking in a 30-minute loading zone for only 23 minutes but did not contest it because of the inherent hassle. She indicated that if UT gains ownership of city streets, she may change her parking habits.

“I try to never park in UT-enforced spots (and so walk everywhere) because of negative past experiences with UT Parking,” she said. “I probably will stop parking on Volunteer, which I do occasionally when using TRECS late at night.”

Officer Zack Mathews of the University of Tennessee Police Department pointed out during a ride-along with The Daily Beacon that the change will increase the number of UT parking spots per parking pass, a figure that measures the relational probability of finding a spot you’ve paid for.

“If you look at it, too, that’s more parking spots added to the fray for UT students to park in,” he said, “and it won’t be a metered parking spot.”

Mathews recalled a similar transition for Phillip Fulmer Way, when the meters by the G10 parking garage were removed and UT took control of the street.

“It’s as much UT trying to take it as it is the City trying to give it away,” Mathews said. “We take care of the sidewalks and everything anyway.”

A non-commuter parking pass to cover Fall and Spring semesters will cost $285 for the 2013-2014 school year; commuter passes cost a little less at $182.

Renting a bicycle from the UT Outdoor Program for a semester costs $20.

Students displeased with tuition spike Victoria Wright Editor-in-Chief While University Board of Trustees annouced of the tuition increases for undersgrauate instate students on campus, many responded with concerns regarding the reasons why such increases were occurring.

Last Thursday at the full board meeting, members approved a 6 percent increase on UT Knoxville, UT Chattanooga and UT Martin campuses. In-sate returning students will pay $9,684 annually for tuition and fees. and incoming in-state freshmen will pay $11,194 annually. Chancellor Jimmy Cheeks addressed the student body through an email Friday to announce the changes, including the incitement of the “Take 15, Graduate in 4” plan, an initiative that takes effect in fall and will require incoming freshmen and transfer students to be charged for 15 hours of classes regardless of how many hours they take per semester. The plan was started in hopes of encouraging students to graduate within four years.

Rising senior in journalism and electronic media Tia Shack said she is familiar with the steady rising cost of tuition, but said she is still unclear what he the extra money goes towards.

She said the university should become more proactive with the communications regarding why prices are being raised.

“I do feel that they’re not thinking bout the students because some of us have to continuously take out loans and things in order to pay for college and its only adding to a massive gap of having to repay for debt, so I feel they need to be more considerate when they talk about increasing prices,” Shack said. “I know that coming to college isn’t cheap, but you also want See TUITION on Page 2

David Perkins crafts balloon figurines for visitors in Market Square.

Market Square: Solace for entertainment Cortney Roark Staff Writer Market square is home to various restaurants, shops and unique talent, all of which make it a go-to spot in Knoxville.

Created in 1854 as a regional farmer’s market, Market Square has evolved with time to cater to Knoxville citizens’ interests, according to Knoxville’s website. The community area hosts multiple events, such as Mardi Growl and winter ice skating as well as weekly farmer’s markets.

“One thing I really like about UT is that it’s so close to Market Square,” Landry Austin a sophomore in Asian studies, said. “I really like nights I’m working when there’s an event going on and you can see the stuff going on outside or a kid will come into Trio with their balloon. It’s nice.”

One of the biggest draws is the original talent of balloon artist David Perkins and magician Harley Chapeau.

Perkins has crafted balloons and played clarinet, flute and saxophone for the visitors of Market Square since 2007. Animals, swords, flowers and much more are born from his balloons and music

Perkins accepts gratuities for his balloon-crafting, a trade known as busking. This has been mistaken for vending, causing him to stand up for his right to entertain the people of Knoxville, Perkins said.

Incoming freshmen Angel Conway said learning about the tuition increase made her feel isolated as an incoming freshman.

“Coming into UT, I already feel like just a number and I feel like they don’t put enough effort into the student’s well being,” Conway said. “There’s a lot of stuff I already don’t understand as a freshman and I just feel like they’re throwing a lot of numbers (out there).”

Cheek said that communications with the student body is improving through working with the Student Government Association and other outlets.

“We do try to communicate as much as we can about tuition and fee increases,” Cheek said.

“It’s hard to get it to everybody. It’s hard to get anything to everybody on campus.”

Cheek explained that an increase in tuition goes towards campus building improvements, maintaining academic departments, and ensuring the university remains in focus with the goals of a Top 25 university.

“If you think about us trying to compete with these other institutions, it puts us at a significant disadvantage,” Cheek said.

He also confirmed that university funds are limited because of the amount of money received by the state, leaving a smaller amount of money per student in comparison to other state schools.

SGA president Jake Baker, senior in political science with a minor in history, attended the full board meeting Thursday and said he did agree with the

disconnection between students and the reasons behind tuition increases.

He said that initiatives are in process to building a more informed student body, such as social events similar to the Pancake Breakfast in April where students were served food by administrators, offering a chance to ask questions about student life. He also said SGA and administrators are pushing more communication through social media. “(Sitting in the audience) You start to understand why there are tuition increases so frequently,” Baker said. “We’re just not getting all of the information administration has. Most of the students are left in the dark on those decisions, but we’re actively looking to connect the body to the administration.”

get good responses, but there’s something so free and pure about the street,” Chapeau said. “[I enjoy] getting that live response. Being able to shake their hand afterwards and them come up and say ‘that was excellent.’”

Stretching from Wall Avenue to Union Avenue, Market Square is within walking distance of UT’s campus, making it a central spot for students to visit.

“Later in the day when the college crowd comes, the feeling is different,” Perkins said.

“They like to get a little crazy.

I actually have a very rude boy bear that get laughs and laughs

and laughs. It’s a teddy bear and instead of a tail, you turn it around. It works. It’s just fun.”

Market Square holds events for every season. In winter, an outdoor ice skating rink is set up. On New Year’s Eve, a mini ball dropping event is hosted by the square. During the summer, play fountains are available for kids and Jazz on the Square concerts take place twice a week. The square also sticks to its roots and hosts a seasonal farmer’s market.

Whether looking for a place to relax or a good starting point for an exciting night out, Market Square has something for almost every occasion.

THIS DAY IN 1915: First operational flight of new German fighter plane On June 24, 1915, young Oswald Boelcke, one of the earliest and best German fighter pilots of World War I, makes the first operational flight of the Fokker Eindecker plane.

The years of the First World War, 1914 to 1918, saw a staggering improvement not only in aircraft production, but also in technology, on both sides of the conflict. The war began just a decade after Orville and Wilbur Wright made their historic 12-second flight at Kittyhawk, North Carolina; by 1918, fighter airplanes had been developed that could serve purposes of observation and reconnaissance, tactical and strategic bombing, direct attack on ground and air targets and use in naval warfare.

The Fokker Eindecker, a plane equipped first with one and eventually with two machine guns that could fire straight ahead through the aircraft’s propellers, would have a huge impact on air combat in the Great War and would put the Luftstreitkrafte, the German Air Service, far ahead of the Allied air forces for several months during the summer of 1915. The British referred to this as the Fokker Menace or the Fokker Scourge.

1970: Senate repeals Tonkin Gulf Resolution On an amendment offered by

HISTORY

Senator Robert Dole (R-Kansas) to the Foreign Military Sales Act, the Senate votes 81 to 10 to repeal the Tonkin Gulf Resolution. In August 1964, after North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked U.S. destroyers (in what became known as the Tonkin Gulf incident), President Johnson asked Congress for a resolution authorizing the president “to take all necessary measures” to defend Southeast Asia. Subsequently, Congress passed Public Law 88-408, which became known as the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, giving the president the power to take whatever actions he deemed necessary, including “the use of armed force.” The resolution passed 82 to 2 in the Senate, where Wayne K. Morse (D-Oregon) and Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska) were the only dissenting votes; the bill passed unanimously in the House of Representatives.

President Johnson signed it into law on August 10. It became the legal basis for every presidential action taken by the Johnson administration during its conduct of the war.

1997: Disney pulls Insane Clown Posse album On June 24, 1997, the Walt Disney Corporation orders one of its subsidiary record labels to recall 100,000 already shipped copies of an album by a recently signed artist—Insane Clown Posse—on the day of its

planned release. The issue at hand: the graphic nature of the Detroit “horror-core” rap duo’s lyrics.

Those not familiar with oeuvre of the group that Blender magazine named the “Worst Band in History” would do best to imagine, in the most literal way possible, what a rap group made up of actual insane clowns might look and sound like. Not “wacky” clowns or “spooky” clowns, but criminally insane clowns of the homicidal variety. Formed in Detroit in the early 1990s by the MCs Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, Insane Clown Posse had built a strong enough grassroots following with their first two albums and their bloody, special-effectsladen live show to have their contract purchased for $1 million by Disney subsidiary Hollywood Records in 1997.

Work began immediately on the group’s next album, The Great Milenko—a reference to one of many fictional characters in the tales of murder and mayhem in which the Posse trafficked. On June 24, 1997, with 100,000 copies already shipped and 14,000 already sold, The Great Milenko was poised to debut at #63 on the Billboard 200 album chart when corporate officials at Disney decided to cease production and begin an immediate recall of the album.

Monster’s prequel true to college stereotypes Samantha Coley

R.J. Vogt Managing Editor In Pixar’s tradition of meticulously rich detail, “Monsters University” delivers a realistic, if filtered, message about the perils and successes of college years.

Although you won’t see any boozing undergrads or promiscuous monsters getting their proverbial freak on, the prequel to 2001’s “Monsters, Inc.” does not shy away from other stock college experiences, such as alienation and the pressures of studying-for-employment society.

At the start, a close-up on the early years of the diminutive hero, Mike Wazowski, reveals a budding know-it-all whose innate desire to succeed grows out of the consistency with which he is generally ignored. He is the archetypal Harry Potter, cast in green and stripped down to one overgrown eye.

After a school field trip to the center of the monster universe, Monsters, Inc., young Mike cannot turn off his dreams of becoming a Scarer, the monsters who gather the scream power that runs their world. The position equates to football players in terms of hero-worship but holds the economic impact of an elite investor.

Fast-forwarding to his first day of college, a fearsome Greyhound bus drops off a very green Mike to study as a scaring major. (He arrives with merely two bags and a hat, begging the question as to what the always-naked hero could have possibly packed into his suitcase.) His orientation proceeds along a comical checklist, and amidst painfully accurate depictions of exuberant RAs and dangerous Frisbee games, Mike enrolls as a scaring major.

Sully makes his own dramatic appearance late to his first class on the first day of school, a typical stud with natural talent and an addiction to underachieving.

He pines only for fraternal acceptance and chalks education up to instinct and borrowed pencils. The two immediately earn each other’s envy, and much of the story is devoted to teaching them to work together.

After the orientation bit concludes, the movie rides on a campus tradition known as the Scaring Games, which pits the fraternities and sororities against each other in an echo of UT’s own Boxing Tournament.

The depth of characters dominates an otherwise formulaic plot, a standard blend of sports flick and coming of age tale set on the reminiscence of classic campus comedies like Animal House or Van Wilder. Anyone who sees the film in hopes of some creative revelation will likely leave disappointed; Pixar aims to awe, not with innovative plotlines, but with clarity, both in its reflection of the real world and depiction of the monstrous one.

The influence of video-game markets shows through in several scenes, particularly the first challenge of the Scaring Games, when the competitors race through a dark sewer while trying to avoid softly-glowing and harshly inflammatory pink balls.

Right on cue to keep the hype alive into next weekend, Disney has already released a mobile app, priced at 99 cents, that offers two mini games (including one based on the aforementioned Toxicity Challenge) and promises more mini games on later updates.

Vivid in visual scope and clever in every creepy detail, the setting of the story forges more than just a precedent for interactive gaming; it also builds a connection to the current collegiate generation. For a UT student, many of the 80s-era collegiate monstrosities reflect the brutal humanity of life on Rocky Top. Whether it’s the sharply stratified Greek social ladder or the desperate coffee drinker guzzling on the way to class (wouldn’t college be easier with eight blue tentacles instead of two pale hands?), most G-rated facets of campus fill out the story. Although it would have been especially educational to see Pixar’s writers tackle some of the more mature problems of the American university, sexnegative culture and substance abuse probably does not spell box office success. (The decision to avoid commenting on the darkest side of coming of age has proven reasonably safe thus far, debuting with an $82 million weekend.)

Instead, director Dan Scanlon

and his cowriters use poignant lines – like when a fraternity bronster bullies Mike by claiming that he hates charity – to poke fun at the shallowest areas of college society. Comedic quotes from fringe characters keep the irony light, but the barbed riffs on demon-eyed sorority girls and pompous lecturers stab at reallife stereotypes.

These fresh interpretations of stereotypes provide a deeper level of moral entertainment, bubbling up between obvious children’s lessons, such as the dangers of cheating and the importance of studying.

Unlike our world, where the best fraternities care most about social status, a lettermanladen Roar Omega Roar only accepts the best students. And MU’s version of campus entertainment revolves around scaring, the main economic force.

Their world is focused on utility, as if the atmosphere of boxing weekend were transposed to a business entrepreneurship competition. Similarly, a key return to Monster’s Inc. reveals to Mike and Sully that judging potential success on a monster’s appearance alone does not predict actual success.

Watching monsters discriminate and claim that some are scarier than others is no less absurd than living in a reality that discriminates on race and sexual orientation, and yet the latter is the world we live in.

In this regard, even the scariest UT students have a lot to learn from “Monsters University.”

There are pieces of clothing and accessories that have stayed in the fashion industry for many years. It is one thing for a women to keep up with the trends of the time, but something completely different when you can look at a women and immediately know she has style because of the bag on her arm or the coat that covers her back.

Audrey Hepburn was one of the most famous actresses of her time, and still is an inspiration today. Not only was Hepburn an incredible actress, she also became a fashion icon through her roles on the big screen and in her everyday life.

Hepburn changed what people thought of fashion and every woman then and now has looks to her when creating their own style.

A classic piece that Hepburn made infamous was the little black dress, simply known as LBD. One of the most famous parts Hepburn played was in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” where Hepburn played Holly Golightly, a classy prostitute hiding beneath the mask of society. The most iconic image of Hepburn in the film was of her in the little black dress with pearls draped around her neck.

In this film, and in many fashion magazines following the movie, Hepburn gave life to the LBD. The little black dress has now become a necessity in the closets of all women because of Hepburn’s role in the movie.

Hepburn made people want to wear the little black dress and inspired women to pull of the look without hesitation. Since the LBD became, and still is such an essential part of any woman’s wardrobe, it is clear to see that many actresses, like Hepburn, have a great deal of

60s actress establishes classic feminine style influence among ordinary women. Once Hepburn became incredibly famous and on the cover of many fashion magazines, every woman wanted to look like her. This shows how women desperately look up to women like Hepburn for fashion tips, among other things.

Another part of the classic wardrobe of Hepburn was simpler than most women would think. Usually, we consider actresses nowadays to be wearing something over the top or incredibly low key. However, Hepburn inspired women then and now to wear something in the middle. She wanted to look refined, yet casual. To complete this look, another signature style of hers was a simple outfit comprised of capris, a long sleeved or sleeveless shirt, and ballet flats. Once again, Hepburn creates looks that are very feminine, while remaining classic.

Hepburn wore amazing clothing, but also added to the clothes with great accessories.

One of the most famous accessories she wore was her pearl necklace, as seen in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” The pearl necklace is timeless. But Hepburn wore pearls in a new way. She layered pearls on with her little black dress and also wore long strands, rather than a short strand simply adorning the neck. This is another way that Hepburn revives a classic look and creates it into something fresh again. Another unusual accessory that Hepburn wore many times and made famous were gloves. In “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” she wore long gloves with the LBD that looked very elegant. This style has continued to inspire many actresses on the red carpet today. Also, another type of glove she would wear were red gloves, usually

paired with a black trench coat.

This pairing was so famous that it has showed up many years after she created the look, including in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada.” Since Hepburn’s style still continues to appear in such recent movies, it shows what an impact that she has had on the fashion world.

Even though Audrey Hemuch of Hepburn’s wardrobe. Hepburn and Givenchy created a relationship when he designed her for much of the movie, “Sabrina,” and after that, Hepburn only wanted Givenchy to design the clothes she wore. While Hepburn still had amazing taste and an eye for fashion, most of the credit for her style must go to the French designer whose brand remains one of the most luxe in the fashion industry. This shows that many actresses wear what they wear because of designers and stylists. For example, Rachel Zoe, a well-known stylist and new designer, dresses many Hollywood actresses, including Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence. When Lawrence won the Academy Award for Best Actress, Zoe was responsible for putting her in that incredible Dior dress.

Of course, the actresses must have the final say in what they appear in, but stylists and designers ultimately give them options to choose from.

There are many famous women who have touched the fashion world in many ways.

Audrey Hepburn showed women what style really was, and created looks that are timeless. She showed women how to look feminine and not only to be trendy, but to have pieces that will last a lifetime and not just a season.

Macklemore returns maturity hip-hop Gauging Your Interest by

Gage Arnold I am not a music aficionado.

I really wish I was, but honestly my music choice would be classified more along the lines of random than respectable at times.

My childhood consisted of listening to everything my parents would pop into the CD player and the horizons were broad. From Eminem to Kenny Chesney to Linkin Park and back to Usher, my music diversity as a child was off the charts.

However, there’s a new face (sorta) on the American music scene and he is using his spotlight for a bigger cause than himself. That’s why I’m writing about him.

Most folks have heard of Macklemore, the funloving, pale guy with the Jersey style haircut who began rocking the underground-Seattle music scene a few years back and has now burst into stardom.

“Thrift Shop” and now “Can’t Hold Us” reverberate through airwaves across the nation and the once exclusively-local boy has grown into a national name.

But Macklemore, as I’ve discovered, is more than just another pop sensation with a goofy smile. He’s an artist with a heavy heart that he puts into each track.

Let’s take his song “Wings” from of his most recent album, “The Heist.” While it seems like just a song about a poor kid growing up, there’s breadth and depth to his music. The song tells the tale of a kid who couldn’t afford popular shoes or clothes that other children had in school.

He raps of the hurt, the pain, the mocking he received.

Macklemore captures gritty, tough and real emotion in the same way that Eminem, through “The Marshall Mathers LP,” managed to give us insight into the life of Marshall and his daughter Hailie and the struggles and hardships they faced. Macklemore doesn’t shy away from his past, he embraces it.

We can chose how we respond to our past.

It can be a stumbling block that manages to continually drag us down, or it can be used as a tactic for motivation. Macklemore has taken it a step further.

One of his tracks, “My Oh My,” details his childhood while growing up in Seattle and listening to the Mariners games on the radio with his dad.

If you are a sports fan this will provide an instant nostalgia trip. It’s not even corny in the “put me in, coach” baseball-type feel but instead it’s heavy, a recollection of the times spent with his father and the memories that seem to linger.

Macklemore is everything that mainstream media is not. The media pushes the idea of hiding behind a bottle of Jack Daniels and a house party to mask over issues, thus perpetuating the culture of “drinking away” and “substituting” something to provide a temporary euphoric high before you are forced to deal with reality.

Instead of focusing on avoiding your problems, Macklemore faces them and becomes stronger through the battle. In “Same Love,” probably the most controversial of Macklemore’s tracks on “The Heist,” the song confronts gay marriage.

But instead of a bigot-esque rant from the rapper, it was an eloquent and real microcosm of the pain he has felt with the issue and his own struggle with the idea of homosexuality.

I share differing views on the issue than Macklemore does, but I can respect the man for doing something others seemingly can’t.

I can’t claim myself as an avid Top 40 listener, but through Macklemore’s music, I am reminded that the music industry is not in the tank. Eminem did it, Tupac did it and now Macklemore is doing it.

Rapping from the heart will always be a staple within the music realm.

It helps us to feel something, to identify with someone and to know that we’re not alone.

That’s the power of music.

Somewhere, through listening to Macklemore’s stylistic beats, a child is realizing he too can rap and find music as a solace in the midst of chaos at home.

That’s all the assurance needed to know Macklemore’s legacy is here to stay.

Experiential learning at CMA Fest Searching for Serendipity by

Annie Blackwood For lack of familiarity in the world of critics, I would hope to inform you of a full proof review of CMA Fest, but seeing as that is foreign to me I shall provide you with my hopelessly accurate experience.

To begin our journey through this four-day long event of food, music, and my favorite- some serious people watching, we can start at the initial shock of this unruly event.

As I trudged into the masses of people after a three-hour car ride from Knoxville, the sight of what some might consider a true “Tennessean” flustered me. There were cowboy hats ranging in height/width, boots in all the colors of the rainbow, and painfully tacky shirts with graphic designs you could not begin to dream up pasted across every fraction of fabric. Although comically worn by locals, these trademarks were bought and sold consistently throughout the week by the immense amount of tourists in overalls and flannels wandering Broadway Street.

One may choose to go join these newly-emerging Nashvillians early in the day to enjoy free live music on the riverfront, foot-long corn dogs, and outrageously overpriced water bottles, which I highly suggest as part of the experience. If the decision is made not to attend the day portion, then next comes the tailgating. This occurs for hours on end outside the concert arena, where girls flock to take cute pictures with their favorite group of friends and boys socialize to kill time.

After one makes it past the montage of lifted trucks and rather inebriated people in the parking lot, then comes the big event, if you’ve lasted that long.

Whether on the floor level with a perfect scene of the stage or in the nosebleeds with a breathtaking view of the city, LP Field was the ideal place for the insanity it awaited.

Thanks to a lunar perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth on its elliptical orbit – that coincided with a full moon, night became day this weekend. The largest full moon of the year beckoned many would-be photographers to venture out and litter Instagram with the moonfruits of their labor. It was only 221,824 miles from the Earth’s surface, and the change in distance made it appear about 12 percent larger than it will on January 16, 2014, when it is at its furthest point from this third planet of the sun.

No matter what your taste in music may be, CMA fest was, to my dismay, rather diverse. If you are into watching someone practically throw their neck out while telling you about all her past relationships via song then Tswift is your girl, or on the other hand you could hear Lenny Kravitz perform a rather large segment of music as a guest appearance in which not many people understood why he was there, and if neither of those suit your fancy then Kelly Clarkson, who was never country before, might win you over with her new image of boots and bowties. Or in her case, maybe a less classy version.

This booming metropolis of Nashville holds what is said to be an extra 250,000 people when this event rolls around in the Titans stadium and Nashville greatly profits from CMA fest, although the pollution does increase in all the various fields over town.

Once the five hours of eardrum-shattering booms from instruments and fireworks have finally come to an end, the trek down from the pinnacle of the stadium must begin. This is the place where catching the elevator seems like a gift from God, and if you don’t you might as well hope to make it down in an hour on a good night.

After a long occasion of swing dancing and making new friends, walking the stadium ramps is exhausting and a car sounds so good, but the one thing that stands between you and your car is the half-mile bridge to cross the river. Having wished I had parked on the opposite side, I made the treacherous hike to the light at the end of the tunnel.

The night, and my weekend, ended as one might expect in the land known as Music City: a crowd 3,000 strong strolled across the bridge, singing “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places” at their top of their exhausted lungs.

With sore feet, a bit of a headache and more pictures than I know what to do with, I was left with a shaky video of that moment to capture the CMA fest in all its Nashville glory.

How long til next year?

Bottom: Red panda goes dark It appears D.C. cannot get anything right these day, even zookeeping. Amidst national controversy over NSA programs and lively debate over the true state of the economy, Rusty the red panda apparently got fed up with it all and inexplicably escaped the confines of Smithsonian’s National Zoo. A quick-thumbing Tweeter tipped animal keepers and Rusty was recovered nearly 3/4 of a mile from the zoo. We hope the raccoonish ol’ boy had a little fun out on the town.

Bottom: Patriot looks shady

After leaking information on the National Security Agency’s data-monitoring programs, former contractor Edward J. Snowden is on the run. The U.S. government urged Hong Kong to hold him, but was ignored as Snowden boarded a flight for Moscow. Now an exasperated White House is urging Russia to expel him back to U.S. custody after he apparently did not board a planned escape to Cuba. It’s like a James Bond thriller; is Snowden the bad guy or should we fear Big Brother? It’s an international drama, to be sure, but we can’t help rooting for the antihero held deep in the clutches of Mother Russia.

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is bringing back memories of O.J. Simpson in a murder case outside North Attleboro, Massachussetts. He appears to have destroyed his phone and mansion security system, and hordes of police searched his home and property over the weekend. The fervor grows from the homicide of Odin Lloyed, a semi-pro football player who had connections to Hernandez. Everyone gets tired of baseball highlights, but the reports of Hernandez’s involvement are a grim respite from the typical summer sports buffet.

Top: Knoxville PrideFest promotes acceptance

Bottom: Kimye promote … directions?

Knoxville ditched the usual orange and white for rainbows this weekend, as hundred of participants marched or rode during an afternoon parade through downtown. In a town where Sex Week is shut down by the same state legislator who thinks AIDS is virtually impossible to contract for heterosexuals, the homosexuals and their supporters came out in drag and purple. Times are a-changing, Senator Campfield.

Jump on the bandwagon of the 21st-century Knoxville.

Despite a clear occasion to name the baby, “Publicity Stunt,” Kim and Kanye settled on the name North, making it a near certainty that the baby will grow up directionally sound. TMZ reports that the name is meant to represent new heights and North’s pinnacle consummation of their relationship. She will join Blue Ivy in a new generation of hip-hop children with unique names. To be fair, was anyone expecting an “Alice?” Still, this is a questionable move; imagine Alicia naming her son “Car” or Drake Bell settling for “Taco.”

ARTS & CULTURE Downtown eatery offers sweet summer treats

Gabrielle O’Neal Staff Writer Coolato Gelato has been offering customers of downtown Knoxville a wide variety of gelato, desserts and entrees since July 2009. Considering the expansive menu options, there is something for every customer. During the summer, Coolato Gelato is the perfect place to cool down with a frozen treat.

Located at 524 South Gay Street between Regal Riveria and the French Market CrĂŞperie, Coolato Gelato opened back in July of 2009. Coolato Gelato has the look and feel of a small cafĂŠ. The cafĂŠ is mostly decorated in various pinks, browns and cream. Coolato is a gelateria that sells not only gelato but things like coffee, pastries and paninis.

Gelato, which is also called Italian ice cream, is richer than ice cream with less than 50% of the butter and fat and half the calories of premium ice cream. Gelato is held at a higher temperature than ice cream, allowing it not to freeze hard and enhance the flavor.

According to their website, Coolato Gelato makes between 18 to 24 flavors daily. Flavors include things like key lime pie, birthday cake and pineapple as well as classics such as vanilla and chocolate. Coolato Gelato also uses traditional products imported from Italy. This gives Knoxville customers a taste of the Mediterranean country right in downtown Knoxville.

Despite the consistency difference between actual Italian gelato and Coolato’s version, the latter is praised as being the closest thing to the former. The treat comes in three sizes; piccolo, mediano and grande. Piccolo and mediano can hold up to two flavors while grande can hold up to three. Coolato Gelato is also pet friendly, having dog friendly patios and they get free gelato when they bring their families.

In addition to gelato, they also serve homemade desserts to satisfy a sweet tooth. They make homemade treats such as biscotti and lemon ricotta cookies. Coolato also serves fruit tarts; topped with strawberries and blueberries, brownies, tiramisu and cannolis.

The cafe/restaurant also serves entrees like award winning soups, which are made homemade daily except during summertime, salads and panini’s. Panini’s are served with fresh fruit

Coolato Gelato, located on Gay Street, offers a variety of desserts. or tortellini pasta. The menu has a variety of delicious sandwiches such as roast beef and brie, three cheese spinach and smoked turkey, avocado and cherry tomato.

If you just need to stop in for a quick drink, Coolato has you covered. Coolato serves a number of drinks ranging from coffee, iced and hot, to Italian soda and Coke products. Smoothlatos are also available, which are made with yogurt, gelato and fresh fruit.

Coolato Gelato also has gift cards for customers who want to share the gift of gelato. For special occasions or just for fun, the downtown gelato restaurant also offers gelato cake made with the freshest ingredients. Cakes come in five inches, eight inches, 10 inches and 12 inches. However, a 48 hour notice is required for the cakes.

With such an assortment of gelatos, treats and entrees, customers have taken notice. Coolato Gelato has received a number of awards. For example, in 2010 and 2011, Coolato won the Official Italian Ice Cream for the Cooking Channel Truck Tour, 2011 Trip Advisor #1 Resturant in Knoxville and won the Metro Pulse Knoxville Best Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

With it’s attractive interior design juxtaposed with the colorful, mouth-watering flavors of gelato, Coolato Gelato is a perfect background for a summer fix of a frozen treat.

Folk duo focuses on adulthood Victoria Wright Editor-in-Chief Popular American culture teaches us that the wayward times of young adulthood leave once a person enters their 30s, life becomes a little more focused.

But that’s not always the case according Joey Ryan, one half of the indie folk band The Milk Carton Kids. Both Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale sing and play guitar for the acoustic band. The duo is known for their harmonizing vocals and classic approach to folk music. “It’s not that different actually,� Ryan said. “A 30-year-old can still be coming of age and not a real adult as in society’s concern.�

The duo, hailing from Eagle Rock, Calif., has been recording and releasing albums independently since their formation in 2011. In March, they released their first studio album titled “The Ash and Clay.�

Ryan said that the inspiration behind the album came from an inspiration to connect the audience with what they were going through. It’s also a goal they hope to accomplish when they perform at the Bijou Theater Friday night. “I think it was important for us to get outside of ourselves a bit and the world we live in (and) what it’s like to be a 30-year-old in America 2012,� Ryan said. The two began recording the album last year.

Ryan said the record has a more “outwardfacing� approach and that the band steered away from a more subjective focus to reflect issues others their age were experiencing.

The theme of an adult in his or her late 20s being established in life yet still feeling like an adolescent from life became the major theme after a recording session with Ryan and Kenneth one night. “At one point, these were all college graduates, employed 28-year-olds and at that moment they all realized they were still living in their parent’s houses,� Ryan said. “The coming-of-age process has either been delayed or extended. We have, in a lot of ways, fully developed the psychological and philosophical capabilities but we are still figuring out how to employee them. It’s still an in-between stage.�

While the process of adulthood is still an unclear path, Ryan said the band is sure about the type of music they produce and what inspires them.

“I

think it was important for us to get outside of ourselves a bit and the world we live in (and) what it’s like to be a 30-year-old in America 2012. �

-Joey Ryan

Recently the folk genre has claimed the spotlight on radio airwaves, but Ryan says this genre is influenced more by pop. He said he doesn’t listen to much modern folk music and doesn’t see the band as fitting into this mold, despite the large amount of popularity they have gained.

As far as inspiration goes, Ryan said the band is following behind artist who they admire, such as folk singers who music dates back to 80 or 100 years. “I hope someone would consider us in that name, but I try not to take too much though into it,� Ryan said.

As for the future, Ryan said that he hopes the band can continue on the path that they’re on, with a few possible tweaks to their traveling schedule. “I’d like to be able to go to Japan,� Ryan said. “This year we went to Europe and Australia. It’s a really cool thing to make records as a duo and play shows as duo. We’ve found something that fulfilling and I’d rather we not change it.�

The Milk Carton Kids will be perform Friday at 8:30 p.m. in the Bijou Theater as the opening act for musician Josh Ritter. Tickets can be purchased on www.knoxbijou.com.

SPORTS How King James earned a crown Love it or hate it (most of you probably hate it), but LeBron James is on track to be the greatest basketball player of all time.

You may have heard of this guy named Michael Jordan.

Steven Cook The now 50-year-old owner of the Charlotte Sports Editor Bobcats is a six-time NBA champion, fivetime league MVP and 10-time scoring champion. It’s a resume that no other hoopster has come close to matching.

But where did Jordan stand at the point in his career that James is currently at?

The answer may surprise you.

Both James and Jordan won their second titles in their eighth playoff appearance, but MJ was 29 years old at the time, compared to LeBron’s current age of 28.

James is also much more accomplished than Jordan was after his second championship. The Miami Heat star has racked up 19 playoff series wins, while “His Airness” only had 13. His playoff win percentage (.638) also trumps Jordan’s at the time (.587).

MVPs? James 4, Jordan 3. In fact, another MVP trophy for James next season will tie him up with Jordan’s career total of five.

Nobody in the sports world has endured more unnecessary hate than James. He’s been public enemy No. 1 since leaving Cleveland for greener pastures.

After losing the 2011 NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks in his first season with the Heat, he was nothing short of a laughing stock.

But James vindicated his move to South Beach in the 2013 NBA Finals, when he led his Miami Heat to victories in Games 6 and 7 over San Antonio and clinched his second straight ring. Contained for the first half of the series in a way we haven’t seen in years, James broke through and turned into an unstoppable force. The Spurs dared him to shoot jumpers in the decisive Game 7, and he made them pay with five 3-pointers and 37 points in a closeout performance for the ages.

Plus, he notched two triple-doubles in the series.

That’s as many as Jordan had in his entire playoff career.

Sure, James has come up short on the big stage and Jordan has not. But should he be discredited for getting his team there early on in his career, while Jordan struggled to get his Bulls deep in the playoffs?

With all of this said, the LeBron vs. MJ debate is one that shouldn’t start until James plays his last NBA game. Then, the resumes will be compared side-byside for years and years.

Big Orange gets bigger • Two Lady Vols to play international ball for Team USA UT Staff Report Excited about the opportunities before them, a pair of Lady Vols are preparing to begin stints of play abroad with USA Basketball this summer.

Rising Tennessee junior Ariel Massengale earned a spot on the USA World University Games Team, which will play July 8-15 in Kazan, Russia. Rising sophomore Bashaara Graves, meanwhile, heads to Panev žys, Lithuania, for the FIBA U19 World Championship For Women on July 18-28.

Massengale travels to Colorado Springs, Colo., on Tuesday, where she will practice with the USA squad from June 25-30 before departing on July 1 for Kazan. The Americans will train in Kazan from July 3-7 before beginning competition with Pool B play on July 8 vs. Belarus.

Czech Republic and Brazil also are in that pool with the U.S. A product of Bolingbrook, Ill. (Bolingbrook H.S.), Massengale is one of seven USA Basketball gold medalists who return to lead the 2013 Women’s World University Games team.

“It’s a great feeling,” Massengale said. “I’m

really excited and looking forward to it. Just being able to represent your country and play the game you love and being able to compete with some of the best players in the world.”

“I’m excited about Ariel,” Tennessee Head Coach Holly Warlick said. “She’s worked hard in the off season. She’s earned it.

It’s a great accomplishment for her to make the USA team.”

A part of three gold-medal winning squads, Massengale most recently helped the USA triumph at the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship. She aver• Photo courtesy of Tennessee Athletics aged 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds Junior Ariel Massengalewill travel to Kazan, Russia and 4.3 assists per game.

Brazil erupts over World Cup expenses The Associated Press Under pressure after more than a week of nationwide protests, Brazilian leader Dilma Rousseff said Monday her government will spend $23 billion more on public transportation and announced five core areas that leaders will focus on to speed political reform and improvements to government services.

Rousseff made the announcement after meeting with leaders of a free-transit activist group that launched the first demonstrations more than a week ago and has called for new protests Tuesday. The president also opened a meeting of governors and mayors from 26 capital cities to discuss ways to make deep improvements.

“I mainly want to repeat that my government is listening to democratic voices. We must learn to hear the voices of the street,” Rousseff said at the opening of the meeting with governors and mayors. “We all must, without exception, understand these signals

with humility and accuracy.”

While not providing details, Rousseff said she would push debate about holding a plebiscite on political reform and said all levels of government would focus on five priorities: fiscal responsibility and controlling inflation; political reform; health care; public transport; and education.

Protesters have filled cities across this continent-sized country to air a wide spectrum of grievances including poor public services and billions of dollars of spending to prepare for next year’s World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.

Mayara Longo Vivian, one of the leaders of the Free Fare Movement who met with Rousseff in Brasilia, said that no concrete measures were given to the group and that their “fight would continue.” The movement has been working since 2006 to eliminate public transport fares.

Vivian referred to the billions of dollars Brazil is spending to host the World Cup, say-

ing, “If they have money to build stadiums, they have money for zero tariffs” on public transportation.

“The people are on the street, the left is on the street, with legitimate agendas,” she said.

“Only with concrete measures from the state will this situation be reversed.”

Monday marked the beginning of a more hands-on approach for Rousseff in the face of sharp criticism that she had been too silent during protests last week. Rousseff only delivered a nationwide address Friday, a week after the protest exploded and a day after a million people took to the streets in at times violent protests.

Since then, the demonstrations have shrunk and become less widespread.

Some scattered protests flared Monday, and two women died after being hit by a car as they tried to block a highway in the state of Goias near the nation’s capital. The highway patrol in Goias said the driver of the car fled and is being sought.
