All clear for the stadium Approved Bags • Clear bag no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” • Clear plastic storage bag (One gallon resealable) • Small clutch purse no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” • Seat cushion (no arms or pockets)

Prohibited Bags

As the 2016-2017 school year commences, UT has adopted a new policy for bags carried into all athletic venues.

In an attempt to increase safety and expedite fan entry into Tennessee athletic events, the policy specifies that all visitors and attendees are only permitted to carry one clear plastic bag no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches or a one gallon, clear, resealable plastic storage bag. Fans will also be allowed to carry a small clutch purse not to exceed 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches.

No other bags are allowed inside athletic venues, and all items are subject to search at

the gates. Other prohibited items include alcoholic beverages, outside food, radios without headphones, video cameras and the infamous selfie stick.

The Southeastern Conference has mandated the new rules to take effect for the 2017 academic year, but UTK — as well as a host of other SEC universities — decided to implement the policy for the 2016 season.

Thanks to a partnership with Visit Knoxville and Coca-Cola, the Tennessee Athletic Department will distribute one complimentary bag per household to all football season ticket holders. But, for all others hoping to attend UT athletic events, VolShop locations on and around campus and the team store inside Neyland Stadium will begin selling new stadium-friendly merchandise.

California wildfire causes widespread evacuation

Dollywood calming room boosts park accessibility

Biles, Raisman take gold and silver in Rio

East of Los Angeles in San Bernardino, California, a wildfire that began Tuesday has led to the evacuation of more than 80,000 individuals from homes and businesses. California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on Wednesday and called for state aid for the affected residents and over 700 firefighters battling to control the blaze.

The fire threatens over 10,000 homes and has caused the closing of Interstate 15, which runs between Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles. Two other fires in California, one in Lake County and the other in San Luis Obispo County, are also causing widespread destruction of rural and city areas.

Since May, Dollywood amusement park has seen a rise in new families visiting, all because of a small room fully focused on easing those with sensory overstimulation. The overstimulation most often occurs as a symptom of autism and can occur unexpectedly at any moment in time. Judy Toth, accessibility coordinator, chose to create the room after hearing stories of families of autistic children using the family restrooms or even first aid stands as isolated places to calm down their children. More than 80 families new to the park have been documented as utilizing the new resource, while more than 100 families total have listed it as a reason for visiting the park for the first time. Dollywood hopes that this will provide a welcoming atmosphere and give way to more parks adding a similar space.

In Tuesday’s gymnastics floor final, Simone Biles and Aly Raisman finished strong taking the gold and silver medals, respectively. This was Biles’ fifth medal for the Rio 2016 Olympics and comes as a minor surprise after her fumble on Monday during her balance beam routine. Biles had a near perfect score of 15.966, just a few tenths away from a flawless 16. Raisman, also on the American team, scored a 15.500. In third place was Amy Tinkler, a gymnast from the United Kingdom, who became the first British female Olympian to score a medal for floor exercise.

Summer program welcomes freshmen to Knoxville Tom Cruise

News Editor

A 15-year tradition focusing on leadership and community has rallied first year students at the University of Tennessee. Ignite, a summer program to jumpstart leadership abilities while focusing on UT traditions, welcomed more than 800 students during the summer.

Ignite is divided into four separate programs. The newest addition, Ignite Knox, focused on the local community and the opportunities it has to offer. The program’s goal is to allow students to see Knoxville as a home, not just the location of their university.

Over the summer, first year students participating in the four-day program spoke with current students, faculty and Knoxville leaders to learn about engaging with the campus and community.

Students also assisted local organizations including The Love Kitchen,

CAC Beardsley Community Farm and Keep Knoxville Beautiful to provide various volunteer services.

Leadership development workshops and city excursions also allowed them to navigate the city.

UT senior in retail and consumer science and Student Co-Director of Ignite Knox Makinzi Butram has participated with Ignite since her freshman year at UT. The summer before her sophomore year Butram became a team leader; then she was promoted to co-director.

“Being a team leader and having interaction with those students, I have seen many of them come back and want to be team leaders and become more involved in campus,” Butram said. “They’re having a great time.”

Assistant Director of the Center for Leadership & Service Division of Student Life Jessica Wildfire shared her excitement and optimism for the new Ignite program.

“The Knoxville Talent Retention Task Force wanted to find a way to connect with UT students,” Wildfire

said. “It was a natural partnership to make this happen.”

The goal of the retention task force is to keep the best and the brightest UT has to offer here in Knoxville after graduation due to interest in the city itself. They are successful through various donors, sponsors and businesses.

“The types of experiences these incoming students have, would never had been affordable on their own,” Wildfire said. “It really was a full community effort.

While searching for universities with similar programs with the hope of incorporating different ideas and structures into the fledgling program, Ignite Knox discovered this style of community involvement from a university is unique.

“We have not been able to find another program with other universities that offers this program,” Wildfire said. “This really has been a collaboration between the city and UT students and makes Knoxville a really special place.”

Bid Day brings together new, old sorority sisters Chris Salvemini

Asst. News Editor UTK sorority chapters welcomed new members on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 16, who sprinted through the streets of Sorority Village into the arms of their sisters.

The Fall 2016 Bid Day brought to an end this semester’s sorority recruitment process, where 1,027 female students sought to join one of the 13 sororities on campus. When welcomed into their chapters, these students gained sisterhood, personal and professional development and, most importantly, a new home away from home.

“You get an envelope at 10:30, and then you are pretty much just staring at it for five minutes,” Brianne Altmeyer, a Zeta Tau Alpha member, said while explaining the Bid Day process. “Then, at 10:35 you’re allowed to open the letter and at 10:40 you run to your house. They hurry up and change you and put a shirt on you, and then you find your Bid Day buddy.”

Recruitment begins with Gamma Chi sisters— who temporarily disassociate with their chapters for recruitment— lead-

ing potential members through the process. Gamma Chis go through semesterlong counselor-education training and are instructed not to have any contact with any sorority chapter during the recruitment week. There are Gamma Chis selected from each chapter to ensure unbiased and neutral responses to potential new members’ questions.

“It felt like home … It’s the most exciting day for me,” Rachel Payne, a new member of Kappa Delta, said.

“Everyone is just so happy to welcome you home.”

Sororities focus on community involvement, philanthropy, sisterhood and academic success, based on a 2015 sorority newsletter to welcome new members. Most new members reported that they chose to join a sorority because they wanted to be involved in something that benefited the community and allowed them to be part of one as well.

“Every conversation was great when I went through rush,” Maggie Sparks, a second-year in Alpha Delta Pi, said. “And now I am still here from a year ago, and I love it still. All the girls are uplifting and challenge me to be a better person.”

Politics and ISIL and doping scandals, oh my

Peter Cates For Pete’s Sake

Welcome back! It’s the same column, just on a new day. Glad you tuned in.

If you turned on a TV or computer this summer, you probably know that everything is falling apart. We have an election season that basically feels like one giant, viral meme, full of over-generalizations and no real substance.

Global instability seems higher than ever with another heartbreaking attack in France, the attacks in Turkey — as well as the subsequent attempt to overthrow the government — and the United Kingdom deciding to leave the European Union. The Zika virus is spreading rapidly, putting the babies of pregnant and nursing mothers at risk. ISIL is spreading in the midst of all this unrest, capitalizing on the Syrian refugee crisis and we have global leaders who don’t seem to know how to handle it all.

Does that about sum it up?

Of course, things aren’t all bad. We do have Pokémon GO and the Olympics. But don’t worry, because we can taint the two with pretty much everyone over the age of 30 complaining about kids who need a video game to go outside and several notable doping scandals in the world of athletics.

The most common response I’ve seen — and one that I, myself, have implemented — is to turn it off. Turn off the news and the self-congratulatory, political Facebook posts and breathe for a second. But if you’re anything like me, that still feels wrong. I want to engage with what’s going on and I want to do something about it. I want to make the world a little better, but I don’t have the slightest clue how. Maybe you feel the same way.

I’m not going to pretend I have some profound answer here. I wake up most mornings with a sense of existential angst that I repress in order to handle the parts I feel give me control. I might make a #WeAreFrance post, complain about the latest hateful thing “the Donald” said and use a refillable water bottle instead of plastic. Those are probably all good things, but there’s more, right? We control very little of the world, yet we have a heavy responsibility to make that tiny part better. I’m not sure exactly how to begin to do my part, but I think it starts with us all being a

“I hope to make this column a positive source this semester, especially in such a tumultous season.

My goal is to make you think, take a step back from the empty rhetoric that politicians often spew and try to get at some bonafide truth.”

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s a little warm outside. Here are some songs to listen to while you sweat your way to class.

“Hot In Herre” Nelly

“Drop It Like Its Hot” Snoop Dog

“Hot N Cold” Katy Perry

little kinder and reading a few more books.

Maybe eventually we’ll all get better at making the needs of the oppressed our needs too. You know what they say, “No raindrop thinks it caused the flood” — or something like that.

I hope to make this column a positive source this semester, especially in such a tumultuous season. My goal is to make you think, take a step back from the empty rhetoric that politicians often spew and try to get at some bonafide truth. Or maybe at the very least I’ll make you chuckle. It’s going to be a good semester.

Be kind, friends. I’ll see you next week.

Brace yourselves for the smelly smell of Vols

Emily Moore Day to Day

Welcome back: the theme at the beginning of every school year. Sounds all nice and gleeful, but what if I never left? That’s right. I have yet to escape the construction and Gus’s ever lingering greasy aroma. On top of that I even took classes over the summer while I worked. Tragic, I know.

Now, even though my summer wasn’t the most adventurous or fun, there was one perk: an empty campus.

Over the summer I became quite accustomed to the lack of people. It’s hard to imagine if you have never experienced campus during the summer, but it’s true. I could walk across pedestrian walkway from Hodges to HSS without having to weave in and out of the crowd. Picture it! It’s actually a beautiful thing, campus in the summer: no playing chicken with other students or bikers, no massive mob overrunning the road when the cross light comes on and no booths lined with people harassing me on Ped Walk to join a sorority or whatever. But, unfortunately, as they say, all good things must come to an end.

As I sat in The Golden Roast earlier this week, glaring over a cup of joe at the U-Hauls, increasing traffic and steadily growing number of people, I began thinking about being back on a crowded campus and the smell a crowd gives off after carrying heavy backpacks in 90-degree weather all day with 100 percent humidity. Feel free to cringe whether or not you have smelled

said smelly smell. I promise you it’s just as bad as you could imagine.

Okay, if you’ve made it this far, I’m sure you’re thinking that I seem a little bitter. Well, you’re not wrong. I’ve given a lot of thought to this first column of my junior year. What should I write about to kick off the new school year? I could recap the hectic summer the U.S. endured; all the death, destruction and mayhem that has unfolded in a short few months. But where’s the fun in that?

If you are a living breathing human I’m sure you are caught up on all of that. Kinda hard to miss it.

I entertained the notion of talking about this upcoming football season, but honestly I only know the very basics of football. I couldn’t stretch it out into 600 words.

It wasn’t until welcome week began that I got my idea. To all of those who took classes this summer, to Knoxville natives or to anyone that did not stray far from campus, I offer you a ‘Brace yourself.’ While everyone else is getting a ‘Welcome!’ or ‘Welcome back!’ we are the troopers who never left. As thousands of extra residents who were absent for the few months of summer settle back in: get ready.

Get ready for the extra traffic, especially on campus. Remember when parking was found anywhere you wanted it and tickets were minimal because no one was here? Yeah, that’s over now.

Prepare yourself for the long lines at Cook Out

on drunken weekend nights, crowded side-walks, resisting the urge to run over pedestrians, crazy preacher guy screaming and puddles of sweat in every seat you come across.

Well on that negative note, bye.

Ha, kidding. You really did think I was just a big negative Nelly, didn’t ya? Jokes on you because it’s a twist ending. More so than anything else, whether you stayed here all summer or are just getting back, I urge each and every one of you to get ready for the positives, because, let’s be honest, there are many more positives than negatives to a crowded UT campus.

Get ready for the buzzing atmosphere of tens of thousands of excited vols singing Rocky Top in Neyland, one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. Brace yourself for shops on the strip to have longer hours, the endless parties in the fort, new vols, new friends, new classes and a new year.

Maybe I am a little bit of a bitter junior who misses no responsibility in the summer, but even then there is one thing that will never change. I will always be happy to be surrounded by tens of thousands Vols, even if we do collectively smell a little.

How to make aquaintances and not alienate people

Leo Bjorklund Take That Jump

About 80 percent of college freshmen are uncertain about what they want to do.

That’s the reason people go to college, to figure out who they are and what they might be interested in. It’s definitely a tough choice, but it’s something that we get to control. Therefore, it is critical to challenge yourself to find out what path might be best for you.

So, how do you choose?

Well, you could always browse the internet until your eyes hurt. But, how do you really find out what you want to do? What I’ve learned this summer is that to truly find out what may interest you, you have to talk to people.

This can seem daunting at first. Who do I talk to? What do I say? These are all normal questions and concerns, but the most important thing you can learn in college is to take risks.

To start off, find an area of study that truly piques your interest. Once you figure out what that might be, start from your roots, so to speak. Ask your friends what their parents do or get in contact with old high school teachers. If that is not an option, you will be surprised by how excited your college professors are to help you. All it takes is interest.

At one point in every adult’s life, they were in your exact position. Because of this reason, they are extremely willing to point you in the right direction with helpful advice.

So how do you reach these people? It’s pretty simple actually. All it takes is an email or a phone call. It’s important to write an e-mail in a very professional manner (e.g. correct grammar and a polite, understanding tone). I can’t tell you exactly what to say, but be sure to get to the point. Tell them you want to meet and talk to them. Give them some times you’re free and then let them reply. Usually the best option is lunch; however, it’s also really interesting to meet at their office because then you can get the true aspect of the environment that they work in.

The worst thing they could say is that they’re a little too busy. At that point, all you can do is move on and try your next lead.

The next step is the most important: preparation.

It shows that you are interested and put the time in to learn some background information. Before I meet someone, I make sure to browse their website and figure out a little about their company and possibly a little about the individual themselves.

By leading the conversation, you show that you’re serious and you can find out what you truly want to know. Common ground makes a conversation go smoothly; that’s why preparation is everything.

My go-to questions are always about the individual’s college experience and what they did right after college. Usually these questions will get the conversation going and allow a fluid dialogue. People love to talk about themselves, so hear them out.

Confidence is an essential quality when meeting new people. It encompasses how you dress, the way you talk and the way you hold yourself. The first thing that a professional will notice is the way that you’re dressed and your posture. Of course, you don’t have to wear your finest suit, but it is critical to show that you care about the way you look. Stand up straight but be relaxed. People will also notice if you’re looking them in the eye. It shows that you’re interested and not distracted. Finally, the way you close the meeting is a large factor of confidence.

A strong handshake and a confirmation that you will be in contact will create a relationship that can be used in the future to grow yourself and your interests.

Finally, the last step in this process is the follow up. One of the most important things you can do is send someone you just met a thank you note. A written note means the world to someone. Let them know that you are truly thankful for them taking time out of their day to talk to you. This simple gesture goes further than you might expect.

I hope that some of these tips can encourage you to reach out to someone new. It’s exciting to see where some initiative can take you. The opportunities are limitless.

Vol-a-poll-ooza: Reading into preseason polls Trenton Duffer Sports Editor

What’s in a preseason poll?

Honestly, it depends on who you’re talking to.

Alabama has been projected to finish in the top three in each of the past five Associated Press polls, including first place in 2013. So, of course they’re going to boast about the importance of grabbing the top spot.

However, if you’re a team like Tennessee, you’ve only seen the preseason top 25 once since 2009 and that was in 2015 when the Vols clung to the 25th spot.

But that’s the past, and if you’re a fan of the Tennessee Volunteers, you’re looking forward to next year (which has now become this year — the season starts in 15 days, people).

Now, the Associated Press poll won’t come out for a few days, but news outlets everywhere are clamoring to project just what the AP will say.

What are polls saying about the Vols this year?

Well, a lot of things. Most polls have the Vols winning the Southeastern Conference before failing in the SEC Championship to either LSU or Alabama.

Sports Illustrated had the Vols ranked 10th in their preseason poll released on Aug. 5.

The Amway Coaches Poll followed suit with a 10th place ranking for the Vols in 2016. The Vols were also one of four teams to receive a first place vote in the Amway Coaches Poll, along with Alabama (55 votes), Clemson (seven votes) and Florida State (one vote).

Believe it or not, those are actually the low points.

A poll from campusinsiders.com that was published back in January had the Vols projected to start off the season fourth in the AP poll. There was even an analytics/college football prediction website (Mcillece Sports) that had the Vols ranked first in

their preseason poll. Go figure.

With all these polls and power rankings, how are you, the fan, supposed to choose a preseason poll to stick with?

Although there are some polls that tend to be more correct than others, looking at preseason polls as any indication on how your team’s season will play out is just plain wrong.

Since the AP Poll started back in 1950, there have only been 10 preseason firsts that continued on to win the national championship. Strangely enough, Tennessee was the first one to do it in 1951. Save that fun fact to impress that pretty girl or guy sitting next to you in your math class.

That’s what’s beautiful about college football — anybody can beat anybody. I can remember eight years ago when the Oregon State Beavers beat the University of Southern California Trojans, who had been ranked first, in the Trojans’ Pac-10 opener.

College football is an enigma. Sure there will be times where one team has an advantage over another.

And one team’s always going to be bigger and scarier than the other team.

But these are student-athletes. If the starting quarterback bombs his big biology test on Friday and drops his class grade down to a D-, I guarantee his mind won’t be on football that Saturday.

So when the AP finally releases their poll and the Vols are or aren’t ranked as high or low as you want, just be happy that they’re even ranked (because they will be).

Wear your orange with pride, Vol fans. Whatever the polls say, this will be a great year.

Headlines from Vols preseason training camp Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor

Preseason is in full swing for the Tennessee football team, and a lot of news has already come out of camp so far.

The Vols will enter the season with a high number of veteran starters, and that is giving them a boost in the preseason rankings. They will also enter the season ranked 10th in the nation, according to the Amway Coaches Poll marking the first time in 10 years that they are in the top 10. Head coach Butch Jones, however, doesn’t seem too focused on these rankings.

“I don’t read anything into that,” Jones said. “There’s nothing for us. It’s not where you start. It’s where you finish.”

The Vols also have numerous individuals on preseason watch lists including Jalen Hurd, Josh Dobbs, Jalen ReevesMaybin, Derek Barnett and Cam Sutton.

Dobbs in particular has been a hot topic for many college football experts as he is on the Maxwell Award and Manning Award watch lists as well as an early candidate for the Heisman.

Todd Kelly Jr. changes number One of the biggest stories of the preseason so far is Todd Kelly Jr.’s jersey change from No. 6 to No. 24. The reason for this change has to do with former Fulton High School player Zaevion Dobson’s passing earlier this year as he protected two women from gunfire.

Kelly grew up with Dobson and decided to change his number to pay tribute to him.

“Everyone knows he is not here with us anymore, but his legacy lives on,” Kelly said. “By wearing this No. 24, I feel like his legacy still lives on the football field.”

Dobson’s courage was honored posthumously at the ESPYs with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

Newcomers lose their stripe As customary under Coach Jones, the newcomers to the football team begin preseason with a black stripe on their helmets. After they earn it, each one will eventually have their stripe removed by an upperclassman who is mentoring

them.

So far this season, the Vols have five newcomers who earned the removal of their stripe. Freshmen Baylen Buchanan and Nigel Warrior were the first two to have their stripe removed. On Tuesday afternoon, three more were added to the group when Tyler Byrd, Marcus Tatum and Jeff George had their stripes removed.

Coach Jones has been very positive on the Vol newcomers so far and expects most of them to play this year.

“Right now, I would say most of the class will probably play this year,” Jones said. “I see us playing a lot of freshmen.

We still need that. We need that depth on special teams and that competitiveness as well.”

What’s next The Vols will continue practice as they prepare for their first game of the season on Thursday, Sept. 1 against Appalachian State. Coach Jones said that competition for starting spots for that first game is still very strong.

We still have a lot of positions that are up for playing time,” Jones said.

“Improvement for every player in the football program.”
