Graduating in four years best New UTPD chief sworn in Study finds students who finish on time better off

Staff Reports

Wesley Mills News Editor Six years in college is better than no years in college.

However, four years is better than six.

A recent study done by UT’s Center for Business and Economic Research shows that those who graduate in four years are much more likely to earn a higher income than those who graduate in more than four years or not at all.

In October, a team comprised of CBER members started a rough draft of what they wanted the study to look like. In January, they presented their findings to the Tennessee Higher Education Committee and received positive feedback.

Looking back to 2002, the study used administrative data to research how long it took students to complete a degree, if they completed one, and where they went

Students sit outside in the amphiteatre in fall 2010. A new study shows that students who finish their undergrad within four years have a higher income than those who take more time. shortly after college.

Assistant Professor of CBER Celeste Carruthers said that the study’s main goal is to show differences between those who complete college and those who don’t.

“We used administrative data on students who appeared to be first-time freshman in 2002,”

Carruthers said, “so that we could track them over a number of years and see if they completed a degree at their first institution or elsewhere, and then after they finished their degree or left college if they ended up working in a Tennessee county.”

According to the study, achieving a bachelor’s

degree in four years was the best option, while not ever going to college was the worst option. Those that went to college but didn’t finish earned nearly $10,000 less than degree recipients seven years after entering college.

Ayres given LEED certification Staff Reports The most iconic building on UT Knoxville campus is now officially its greenest.

Ayres Hall has become the first building on campus to become LEED-certified—at the silver level—by the US Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Building Institute. LEED (Leadership

in Energy and Environmental Design) is the nation’s preeminent program for design, construction, and operation of high-performance buildings.

Ayres, one of the campus’s oldest buildings, reopened in January 2011 following an extensive two-year renovation that brought the 1921 structure into the twenty-first century. The $23 million project maintained the original grandeur of the building and enhanced

energy efficiency. The green makeover resulted in a LEED Silver certification.

“We are quite proud of the LEED Silver certification for Ayres Hall,” said Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek. “Along with being our most recognizable facility, Ayres now exemplifies our commitment to sustainable campus and building practices.”

Troy Lane was officially sworn as the new chief of police at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, this morning.

Assistant Chief Debbie Perry — who served as interim chief of the department before Lane's hiring — conducted the swearingin, in which Troy promised to uphold the United States constitution and the laws of the state of Tennessee and the university.

“I came here because I believe that the UT Police Department is headed in the right direction,” Lane said during the ceremony. “I was sold on this police department and believe that this would be the right place to spend the rest of my time in this job. I look forward to working with each one of you. You have laid a great foundation and I only hope to continue your progress.”

Lane said one item that attracted him to UTPD was its accreditation — something he said is difficult to achieve and maintain.

“Accreditation takes a lot of effort on a lot of people's parts and just to sustain it is a full-time effort,” he said in an interview with the media. “It is a great thing you do not want to let go

once you got it.”

Lane started work at UTPD earlier in June. He was the police chief at the University of Wyoming before coming to Knoxville.

Lane has more than 16 years of campus law enforcement experience.

“Most people work at a university because that is the demographic that they love working with and I am one of those people,” said Lane in an interview. “I got into campus law enforcement not really knowing if I would enjoy it, and 17 years later, I enjoy it and I am not leaving.”

Lane began his law enforcement career as a military policeman in the U.S. Army in Fort Riley, Kansas.

After leaving the military in 1992, he continued working in law enforcement and in 1996 was named assistant director of the Kansas State University Police Department.

A Knox County Sheriff's helicopter flys over World's Fair Park during Festival on the Fourth on Wednesday. Two members of the Knoxville Police Department SWAT team rappelled out of the helicopter onto the Clinch Street Bridge.

Legendary television star dies The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — Andy Griffith’s gift to the show that bore his name wasn’t just the homespun wisdom of the plain-spoken sheriff he played. It was the place he created: a small town where all foibles are forgiven and friendships are forever, full of characters who felt like family.

Mayberry, a fictional North Carolina village said to be modeled on Griffith’s own hometown of Mount Airy, was so beloved that it practically became a synonym for any commu-

nity that was too innocent and trusting for real life. After all, Griffith’s Mayberry was a place where the sheriff didn’t carry a gun, the local drunk locked himself in jail and even the villains who passed through were changed by their stay.

On “The Andy Griffith Show,” he created an endearing portrait of a place where few people grew up but many wished they did.

Griffith, who died Tuesday at 86 at his North Carolina home, played a sage widower named Andy Taylor who offered gentle guidance to son

Opie, played by little Ron Howard, who grew up to become an Oscarwinning director. Griffith inhabited the sheriff's “aw, shucks” persona so completely that viewers easily believed the character and the man were one.

“What made ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ work was Andy Griffith himself — the fact that he was of this dirt and had such deep respect for the people and places of his childhood,” said Craig Fincannon, who runs a casting agency in Wilmington and met Griffith in 1974.

1957 — Gibson wins Wimbledon women’s singles to become the first African American to win a championship in London’s AELT&C Club.

On this day in 1957 Althea Gibson claims the women's singles tennis title at Wimbledon and becomes the first African American to win a championship at London’s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Gibson was born on August 25, 1927, in Silver, South Carolina, and raised in the Harlem section of New York City. She began playing tennis as a teenager and went on to win the national black women’s championship twice. At a time when tennis was largely segregated, four-time U.S. Nationals winner Alice Marble advocated on Gibson’s behalf and the 5’11” player was invited to make her U.S. Open debut in 1950. In 1956, Gibson’s tennis career took off and she won the singles title at the French Open — the first African American to do so — as well as the doubles’ title there. In July 1957, Gibson won Wimbledon, defeating Darlene Hard, 63, 6-2. (In 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first African-American man to win the men's

singles title at Wimbledon, when he defeated Jimmy Connors.) In September 1957, she won the U.S. Open, and the Associated Press named her Female Athlete of the Year in 1957 and 1958. During the 1950s, Gibson won 56 singles and doubles titles, including 11 major titles.

After winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open again in 1958, Gibson retired from amateur tennis. In 1960, she toured with the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, playing exhibition tennis matches before their games. In 1964, Gibson joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, the first black woman to do so. The trailblazing athlete played pro golf until 1971, the same year in which she was voted into the National Lawn Tennis Association Hall of Fame.

After serving as New Jersey’s commissioner of athletics from 1975 to 1985, Althea Gibson died at age 76 from respiratory failure on September 28, 2003, at a hospital in East Orange, New Jersey.

COLLEGE STUDY continued from Page 1 Non-completers had lower ACT scores than degree recipients, and lower ACT scores were associated with lower earnings after college.

Not surprisingly, Assistant Professor for CBER Celeste Carruthers said that the most important finding in this study was the average income that four-year college graduates received over those who graduated in more than four years.

“There was a significant difference of earnings shortly after college between students who finished in four years and students who took a little bit longer but still got a bachelor’s degree,” Carruthers said. “The reasoning behind that is unless you are going to work for your mother, the people looking at your resume might not know a lot about you. They don’t know how motivated you are, how hard working you are, so they try to look for signals in your résumé or interview.”

The study found out that students who com-

AYRES continued from Page 1 Cheek said that many members of the UT community appreciate the careful restoration and its beautiful result. He noted that spending more time and resources on green building practices pays off tremendously over time through saving on energy costs and lessening the impact on the environment.

There are four levels of LEED certification: certified, silver, gold, and platinum. A building’s level of certification is based on a point scale that grades various aspects of a building project, including sustainability of the building site, water efficiency, energy use, materials and resources, and innovation and design.

The Ayres project maintained nearly 97 percent of the existing wall, floor, and roof elements of the building. The original hard wood floors, wooden doors, and wood paneling in the building were refinished and reinstalled. Other green building practices included:

plete their bachelor’s degree within four years earn around $12,000 more than those who attend but fail to complete it.

Carruthers said that receiving a bachelor’s degree is a good signal to the labor market of your knowledge and experience, but it’s also important to look at the timetable to see how long it took to complete college.

Chandler Vannoy, sophomore in marketing, said that he is trying to finish in four years.

“Those who graduate in four years show they have more motivation and are harder working than those who graduate later,” he said. “Plus, those who spend more time in college probably do not have as good of a résumé as those who graduate in four years.”

According to the study, there are certain monetary advantages for those who graduate on time, but that’s not the only advantage students see.

Getting a job straight out of college or simply getting out earlier than others still in college are big incentives to graduate in four years.

promoted earlier and establishing work relationships are just some big advantages for graduating on time,” Vannoy said.

Abbey Ellis, senior in mathematics, is also trying to graduate in four years, and is glad she is on the path to complete her degree on time.

“It makes me feel more accomplished, and it makes me feel better financially as well,” she said. “Sure, some of us take a victory lap due to trying to get in-state tuition, changing majors and transferring schools, but I'm proud to say I've stuck with my major to the end even through my doubts.”

Ellis said she knew going in that she would be there for four years, but doesn’t look down on those who may take longer.

“Sometimes things don't work out the way they should, and you have to sacrifice not graduating in four years,” she said. “That doesn't make them any less of a graduate though.”

The figures don’t surprise Ellis, but she said it makes the fact that she’s graduating on time that much sweeter.

Carruthers said it was surprising to see that those who go to college longer, but don’t finish

their degree, still tend to make more than those who never attend in the first place.

“One surprise is that for students who did not finish a degree, we used regression analysis to see what the effect on staying in college a little bit longer was on their later earnings,” Carruthers said. “It turned out that students who stay in college a little bit longer, even if they didn’t finish a degree, end up having higher earnings shortly after they did leave college without a degree than those who didn’t go. We thought that was interesting that even if you leave without a degree, the fact that you stayed a little while might be a good signal.”

From all the stats and numbers the CBER compiled, there was one major item that stuck out.

“The takeaway advice for students would be to get your ducks in order, meet with your advisors and stay on track to graduate on time,” Carruthers said. “But if you’re not going to make it to a degree within four years, don’t give up hope because a degree itself is still a really important signal in the labor market.”

OPINIONS

Editor’s Note Texting replaces real conversation Lauren Kittrell Editor-in-Chief On July 3, my Independence Day plans were unsettled.

Though I had a few relatively solid ideas, I wasn't 100 percent sure on a few small details.

Many texts were sent back and forth between friends and relatives and I began to feel a bit more confident in my plans. As I have yet to upgrade to a smart phone, many messages came in three parts and often out of order.

Baseball games, fireworks, corn hole, hot dogs and America were thoroughly discussed through text. Many emoticons, exclamation marks and leading periods were used to communicate excitement, curiosity and disappointment.

In fact, just one exclamation or question mark wasn't enough. Three question marks were necessary to imply curiosity, but an average of five exclamation marks were barely enough to communicate my excitement for the upcoming celebration. Winking faces were vastly important when I chose to use sarcasm, and occasionally even a “just kidding” to make sure he/she understood me correctly.

The best part of all this was that I could work out, check Facebook, and/or watch TV all while solidifying plans for the most American Independence Day ever.

Until, much to my horror and surprise, my phone began to vibrate. This would be normal except that my phone continued to vibrate. It was as if someone was calling me.

Someone was calling me. I paused my syndicated television show and stood up (just to be more professional). The call was from my brother, Will, who clearly grew up in an age when telephone calls were frequent amongst friends.

While many of my phone calls are work-related, 20% are from my mom and the other 10% are generally from my brother. I consider it a generational thing.

I had texted him at 4:15 p.m. on July 3, and at 4:16 p.m. my phone began to vibrate, and for a few short seconds I thought I might have to work on Independence Day. Fortunately, Will's name and picture popped up on my phone, indicating that it wasn't my boss calling, just my brother. He wanted to confirm holiday plans.

I wiped my brow and answered, concern still noticeable in my voice. He asked how I was and we discussed our

differing plans for the 4th. After a short discussion and a few laughs, I hung up and went back to my previous activity. Oddly enough, I couldn't stop smiling. I continued to ponder over our conversation, the jokes and banter.

Though I had mocked him for calling when he could have sent a text, I realized that none of what he had done was less easy or pleasant than a text. In fact, I derived more pleasure from a seven-minute phone call than from any of the previous texts I had received from friends.

The banter, jokes, affection, tone of voice, pleasantries, etc., could never have been communicated through emoticons and exclamation marks.

That one phone conversation with my brother reenvisioned communication in my mind. While I spend a large majority of my day sending and receiving numerous texts, I could easily have well-meaning conversations with friends in less time with less worry.

That moment of waiting for the next text, trying to stay awake just in case he/she texts back, the frequent misunderstandings that take place, the worry when he/she doesn't text back: it could all be forgotten.

What happened to this tech-savvy generation? Did we forget the importance of actually conversing?

I submit that we rediscover what we lost. At what point did a text implying, “thinking of you,” replace a phone call with a voice? What we look for in a conversation may be amiss.

More importantly, you lose the ability to discern honest feeling. In a conversation there are pauses, sighs, laughter (not described by “haha” or “lol”), and even the occasional yawn. All these describe something about the person, how they're feeling, what they desire.

A phone call allows for an assurance of that person's rapt attention. It means he/she isn't watching TV, playing a computer game, or talking to someone else. For five minutes, you can talk to that person one-on-one and figure out every detail.

The worst moment in a text conversation is when you ask a question and have to wait an extended period of time for the response. During a phone call, every question can be covered in limited time with immediate answers.

Maybe my generation hasn't found the answer to everything. Maybe we need to go back in time a little and enjoy the simple things in life, like a phone conversation.

Call to amendment, hope for change C ommitee o f I n f ra ct i o n s by

Greg Bearringer My plan when I sat down to think about my column this week was to offer suggestions to the two major political parties on how to improve their image. My conclusion: “You both suck in your own unique way. Stop that.”

Well, my second plan is a bit more radical, and I hope you will hear me out. I am going to suggest four amendments to the Constitution that I believe should be made. These are going to be suggested in the order of how likely their passing actually would be; the final suggestion will seem strange, but that's because I am only partially sure of what it would mean. I don’t really know how else to explain myself, so I am just going to start.

Amendment 28: Define “War.” This might seem a bit strange, but its hard for me to wonder how the War Powers Resolution (at least in theory) hasn't been made an amendment -- and that there was some ambiguity in the requirements for an official declaration of war until an appeals court decided that the words “declaration of war” don't have to be said. The real implication of this was that war could be declared in a far more politically advantageous manner than it is currently. Here's my general outline: Any commitment of more than 10,000 troops, 250 vehicles or military apparatus, manned or unmanned, and any expenditure over $10million involving an invasion into a recognized, sovereign nation would be considered an act of war which would require Congress to pass an official declaration of war against said nation, and would require the term “declaration of war” as well as a two-thirds majority to pass through both chambers of Congress.

Amendment 29: Repeal the 17th Amendment.

I was taught in school the 17th amendment was a good thing, since it made the Senate beholden to the will of the people. Which is exactly why this amendment needs to go away. The Senate was meant specifically as a body NOT elected by the people and instead protected from them. The Senate

was meant to be protected, first by its removal from the general populace, and second by its exceedingly long terms of office. For all the talk about how involved corporations and the über wealthy are in the government… well, removing at least one half of one branch of government from the race for election funding might be a good step. Is this a perfect solution? Of course not. Good, old-fashioned corruption would still be a problem. It's hard to see how doing this could be worse.

Amendment 30. Define “executive privilege. ” This is one of those newfangled concepts which are only sort of constructional (in that these words don't occur in the Constitution). The main reason I would want this passed is to make it clear just whom this “privilege” protects (Karl Rove and Eric Holder?) and what kind of records and/or acts are protected by this “privilege,” and how long these records and/or acts can be protected. The danger here is that any amendment like this could be written too loosely or let too many people under the president's umbrella. The idea here would be to make government more transparent.

Amendment 31: Limit the size of bills passable

by Congress. In this amendment, omnibus bills would now be chopped up into much smaller bills.

My first thought is that bills should be limited to 100 words, and increased to 500 words for bills involving a certain amount of funding. All bills could be passed en masse, with the limit of 100 bills per passage. However, these bills would be considered individual laws and could be repealed as such. Also, there would be a provision requiring the use of plain and simple language. The reason why I don't know if this could pass is that I don't think any politician would champion this proposal.

As you see, my main interest is to require a more honest government. I would prefer it if politicians were forced to “declare war” instead of “authorizing action”. I would really like a government where protections were used to hinder obfuscation instead of as a way out for people who make mistakes. I would also like it if laws were made to be more easily accessible. I would also like to keep at least a small portion of government from thinking about election funds. Of course, these may be impossible, but I can't help but think I couldn't hurt to try.

This week, the Food and Drug Administration approved an over-the-counter home HIV testing kit that produces results in about 30 minutes.

The FDA advised anyone using the test, called OraQuick, to follow up with a medical professional if the results do come out positive, as the test is not a sure-fire way of diagnosing someone with HIV. The test will be available in supermarkets and pharmacies in October and will most likely be nestled conveniently by the pregnancy tests and condoms.

This new product isn’t just a convenient and more discrete option for people to become educated on their status. The approval could change people’s priorities regarding their sexual health.

With the flurry of opinions surrounding the possible mandate for health insurance to cover birth control, much of the attention is going toward the possibility of pregnancy as a consequence of sex instead of STDs. Perhaps announcing that you have an incurable disease is more taboo then expecting a child. So as a result, sexually transmitted diseases, like HIV, fall to the background while others fervently try to decide how the government should be involved in contraception and abortion.

While unplanned pregnancy is definitely a sexual health issue that cannot be ignored, there are options. There are medications for HIV designed to control the growth of the virus, but preventing someone from contracting the disease should be the main priority, especially for youth.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, young people aged 13–29 accounted for 39% of all new HIV infections in 2009. Most people in their early twenties feel uncomfortable discussing their status, but who’s to blame them?

There are some steps being taken in popular

media to put HIV testing in the spotlight, such as MTV’s It’s Your Sex Life, an online resource that provides information about HIV testing, pregnancy information, and other areas to encourage young people to make their sexual health a priority.

But this new over-the-counter product could be the extra boost needed to bring urgent focus back to sexual health. Priced at $18, the test is a much more expensive investment than taking advantage of free testing at school functions or even testing at a local clinic. Also, purchasing the product isn’t exactly indiscreet, but neither is buying condoms, birth control, or a pregnancy test.

If anything, the product can draw the spotlight back to sexual health, and not just to the methods to implement once someone has contracted an STD or finds themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. All too often, the cultural attitude of Americans focuses on fixing a problem instead of preventing it.

Every day, our televisions are littered with infomercials on a new weight loss product, each better than its predecessor with a promise to make you lose weight faster and be transformed into a supermodel overnight. Of course, the answer to a slim and healthy figure is not in a novelty weight loss product, it’s in dieting, exercise, and other lifestyles people should practice to prevent health issues associated with obesity. Yet, we want our Big Mac and our six pack, too.

I doubt anyone truly wants to undergo lifelong medication because they weren’t cautious in their sexual practices. Nothing is black and white -there are other ways HIV is contracted other than unprotected sex. But the leading cause in Americans seems to a lack of knowledge regarding protection. If HIV testing kits are sitting conveniently next to condoms, it could be the spark people need to become more cautious in choosing their sexual partners and using protection.

On a lighter note, I’m interested in how the product will be marketed. Depending on their target audience, which will most likely be people in their mid to early twenties, there could be some very interesting advertisements in the fall.

THESPORTSPAGE

Webster promoted to associate head coach Vols’ Reese to play for Staff Reports Tennessee basketball coach Cuonzo Martin announced Tuesday that he has promoted Tracy Webster to associate head coach.

Webster, who, like Martin, is entering his second season with the Volunteers, has previously held the title of assistant coach since his hiring on April 5, 2011.

"This is about the work that Tracy has put in," Martin said. "He's a tireless worker, and he's driven to see this program be successful. His efforts to develop our current players, along with his

efforts in recruiting, deserve to be rewarded."

Webster works closely with Tennessee's guards, and his player development efforts last season helped the Vols finish second in the Southeastern Conference after initially being projected to finish 11th in the league.

A three-time All-Big 10 selection during his collegiate playing career at Wisconsin (1992-95), Webster boasts nine season on high-major Division I coaching experience, with four NCAA Tournament berths and one Final Four appearance to his credit.

Puerto Rican U19 team Staff Reports

Cameron Tatum attempts a layup in Tennessee’s 64-58 loss to Kentucky on March 6, 2011. The 6-foot-7, 193pound former Volunteer earned a spot on the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies’ summer league team last week. He finished his Vols’ career ranked second on the school’s all-time games played list and 10th in 3-pointers made.

Tatum averaged 7.8 points per game over his five-year UT career and became the 44th player to join the Vols’ 1,000-Point Club on Feb. 8, 2012.

Tennessee freshman basketball player Derek Reese has been named to the Puerto Rican U19 National Team that will compete at the 2012 Nike Global Challenge July 1315, in Washington, D.C. A native of Orlando, Fla., Reese was eligible to compete on the Puerto Rican national team because his grandmother, Irma Montanez, was born in Puerto Rico.

“I think it's going to be great experience playing against competition from different countries,” Reese said. “I'm looking forward to seeing how international players play the game and adding some of those elements to my game.”

On Tuesday, Reese traveled to Puerto Rico to train with his U19 National Team teammates in advance of the Nike

Global Challenge.

The Nike Global Challenge is taking place in conjunction with the World Basketball Festival 2.0. Challenge games will be held at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., as well as the Washington D.C. Armory. The field includes three teams from the United State along with one team each from Brazil, Canada, China, Lithuania and Puerto Rico.

The eight-team, 16-game tournament will be contested using FIBA rules.

Reese enrolled at UT in May for the first session of summer school and completed the term before heading to Puerto Rico to prepare for the Challenge.

He will return to Puerto Rico with his Tennessee teammates this fall, as the Volunteers are competing in the 2012 Puerto Rico Tip-Off in San Juan Nov. 15-18.
