And then there were five Student section names enter final round of voting

Hayley Brundige News Editor It’s the start of a new tradition on Rocky Top. Last spring, the UT Athletic Department and Student Government Association put a plan in motion to revamp student support for the Volunteers by giving name to Neyland Stadium’s ambiguous student section.

Alumnus creates local music hub

Within weeks of the proposal, the Athletic Department created the Name Our Home website where students began suggesting new names for the section. Out of hundreds of suggestions, the top five most popular entries were then opened up for a campus-wide vote. The five nominees students are currently voting on are: General’s Quarters, Smokey’s Howl, Vol Army, Rocky Top Rowdies and Big Orange Crew.

Voting on the Name Our Home web-

site ends Aug. 24, and the winner will be revealed at the first home football game against Utah State on Aug. 31.

“There’s going to be a big reveal of the new name,” Connor Dugosh, SGA vice president, said. “There’s a chance that we’ll announce the name at the All-Vol Tailgate that SGA is putting on.”

Grant Davis, former SGA student services director and current graduate student at UT’s College of Law, worked with SGA’s Traditions Committee and the Athletic Department last year to implement the name change.

Davis said, however, the idea originally came from football Head Coach Butch Jones.

“Coach Jones invited around 100 student leaders for a meeting last fall,” Davis said. “He wanted to ask us for our help getting students into the stadium to support the team. He outlined the ways we could help and how he was going to get students engaged.”

While the Athletic Department was responsible for marketing the idea and creating the software for the voting process, collaboration with SGA ensured

Vols close to landing Memphis transfer Dominic Woodson

Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor After being released from his scholarship and given the right to transfer, former Memphis Tigers forward Dominic Woodson could become a member of the Tennessee men’s basketball as early as Aug. 21, when an official university announcement is expected.

Following a search of the UT student directory around 6:30 p.m. Aug. 20, Dominic Woodson’s name appeared after previously not showing up earlier in the day.

Woodson is expected to begin classes at UT on Aug. 21.

Since his transfer announcement Aug. 14, Tennessee has shown interest in the 6-foot-10-inch, 300 pound man, who has expressed mutual interest in UT as well.

“Dominic is in good academic standing at the university, but he shared with me that he’d like a fresh start,” Memphis head coach, Josh Pastner, said in a University of Memphis release. “We support Dominic and wish him all the best.”

If granted a run-off waiver by the NCAA – a rule that provides relief for players who were “runoff” by their previous institution for reasons outside of their control – Woodson would be allowed to play immediately for the Volunteers this season, bypassing the one season off that is required by most transfer players.

As of now, Woodson meets two of the three run-off waiver requirements, with the only exception being that Memphis has to approve of him playing for the Vols.

Recruitment week ends with Bid Day, 805 girls receive bids Hayley Brundige News Editor

Bradi Musil Assistant News Editor The bids are in.

After six days of tightly scheduled rush week events, 13 UT sorority chapters gathered in Thompson Boling Arena last night to celebrate Bid Day and welcome new members to the Greek community.

Bid Day, often an emotional night for existing and new members alike, marks a girl’s transition from

“Potential New Member” (PNM) to an official sorority pledge.

“I feel so excited right now,” said Lexie Cook, freshman in sports management who would ultimately pledge Delta Zeta. “It’s like my heart is beating out of my chest. I don’t even know how to describe this feeling. It’s amazing.”

Rush week officially commenced Aug. 14, with Recruitment Orientation and Gamma Chi group meetings in Thompson Boling Arena.

Throughout the following week, PNMs participated in carefully orchestrated events meant to aid the

mutual selection process. To join a sorority, both the PNM and the existing chapter must choose each other.

According to Angie Marini, junior in psychology and member of Alpha Chi Omega, sorority sisters go through training the week before recruitment to define how they will pursue and choose between PNMs. “We definitely look for someone who shows good character,” said Marini. “We’re all pretty outgoing, quirky and funny. Academic interests and leadership are important, too.”

Freshman, Baldwin ready for big roles in Lady Vols’ 2014 campaign Jonathan Toye Contributor (@JonathanToye1) The Lady Volunteers soccer team will travel to Madison, Wisconsin on Aug. 21 to kick off the 2014 season. For 12 team members, the trip also signifies the beginning of their four year journey as collegiate athletes.

While these 12 freshmen have yet to play a regular season college match, there are already high expectations for a particular freshman to immediately perform at a high level.

Then again, high expectations are natural when you are one of three freshmen to compete on the U.S under-20 women’s national team.

amount of pressure as the rest of the freshmen class and remains focused on doing her best for her team.

“I think there is pressure on the entire freshmen class to come in and make an impact,” Baldwin said. “We want to do better than the season last year and that is the same for any year. I wouldn’t say there is anything specific on me. I am just trying to do the best I can for the team whenever I get out there.”

Baldwin is not only striving to give her all for Tennessee, but she has also set ambitious goals for herself during her time in Knoxville.

“I think we would all love to win an SEC championship and a national championship,” Baldwin said. “Shorter-term goals: just getting off to a good start, starting off the conference well, playing good soccer, just doing our best.”

Knoxville Music Warehouse navigates online visitors through music scene

It began at a Black Cadillacs concert, where Kent Ogelsby first envisioned a blog devoted to the Knoxville music scene.

“I knew in the back of my head that I had this idea…,” Ogelsby said. “I was always complaining about the insufficient coverage of music in Knoxville.”

Seeking to fill this void, Ogelsby created Knoxville Music Warehouse, which now functions as a hub for local artists and listeners alike.

Born and raised in Farragut, Tennessee, Ogelsby attended the University of Tennessee and pursued a bachelor’s degree in advertising. After graduating from UT, Ogelsby began working as a sales representative at AT&T. Two years ago, Ogelsby left his job at AT&T to build windmills in Upstate New York for a summer. When he returned, Ogelsby re-evaluated his career.

“I always kind of wanted to have a career where I would like build something, start something,” Ogelsby said. “I like the idea of creating things that draw people’s attention.”

This brought him to his next obstacle: web design.

Oglesby said his coding ability was just high enough to know he needed an easier platform.

Thus, the blog format was formed using Squarespace.

“I did that and launched last April and here we are,” Oglesby said.

Knoxville Music Warehouse is split into four main sections.

One is an interactive calendar where visitors can view upcoming shows and listen to a clip from the band performing. Another is a blog, where Ogelsby continues to post band interviews and music reviews.

Additionally, there is a section devoted to new local music, where visitors can explore recent albums and debut singles. A recent addition to the site includes KMW’s hosting of a curated Spotify playlist featuring local bands.

that it was a student-driven initiative.

“Athletics wants the student body to have the best football experience possible, and this allows students to be involved,” Davis said. “I was very impressed with how receptive the Athletic Department was to student input, and by how willing they were to work with students.”

While he admits the final decision is up to the student body, Davis said he is particularly partial to one of the five choices.

good start, starting off the conference well, playing good soccer, just doing our best.

-Carlyn Baldwin ever, is not the only freshman who hopes to make an impact on the Lady Vols soccer team this season. Freshmen Colleen Gawkins and Meghan Flynn are also looking to contribute in any way they can to help the team get back to the NCAA tournament, which they missed out on last season following two consecutive appearances.

I might even, goddess forbid, receive death threats.

It’s risky to have real opinions.

“I think contributing and working hard at practice everyday is going to make a difference because the more competition we have just at practice is obviously going to build the competitiveness and the drive that we have going into the actual season,” Gawkins said. “So I think that is a big role that we play as freshmen.”

Four years of ongoing construction and $45 million later, Sorority Village is complete at last with a total of 13 houses, 535 residents and one communal Panhellenic building. Just before move-in, The Daily Beacon toured the Alpha Omicron Pi and Alpha Chi Omega houses, talking to a few residents along the way.

After nearly a decade of consideration, planning and construction, alumna and Omicron Corporation president at UT’s Omicron chapter, called the completion of the Alpha Omicron Pi house “a celebration.”

“It’s been a long road to get to this point,” Wallace said. “We wanted our girls to focus on fellowship and getting to know each other in a closer setting...We feel like this building is going to promote those deepening relationships.”

Having gone to a small high school, Kyle Parker, sophomore accounting major, joined the Greek community to “make the campus smaller.” Remembering Bid Day freshman year, Parker recalled feeling loved by her sisters “immediately.” Afterward, she and her fellow pledges bonded over an Alpha Omicron Pi tradition.

“We all got to jump in the pool together.

That’s sort of how we got know each other.

We’re just throwing ourselves into a pool.”

A glimpse inside Sorority Village

Kelsey Wood, senior in supply chain management and Alpha Omicron Pi chapter president, described the alumni’s careful attention to detail while designing the house. Archives and artifacts previously stored away, for example, are now on display in the entryway. In addition, visitors will notice the incorporation of AOPi’s symbols and emblems throughout the house’s design.

“We’ll be able to show more of what our chapter is about,” Wood said. “There are little touches everywhere. A sheath of wheat is one of our big symbols and it’s everywhere in our house.”

Lindi Smedburg, director of Sorority and Fraternity Life, believes the Village will “elevate” the existing sorority experience at UT “to another level entirely.”

“The ability to have the sorority house where the women live and learn and interact and have fun together is going to provide a better opportunity for increased sisterhood, increased activities, increased enjoyment of college and increased learning.”

CAMPUS NEWS BID DAY continued from Page 1 This year’s chapters saw the largest pledge class in the history of Greek life at UT, according to Assistant Director of Sorority and Fraternity Life Jennifer Pierce.

She said of the incoming 1,000 PNM’s, 805 girls received bids. While some girls chose to drop out of rush week early, other PNMs did not receive a bid on Bid Day at all.

“It’s a mutual selection process, so the chapter has to feel comfortable with the potential new member, and the potential new member has to feel comfortable with the chapter,” Pierce said. “Sometimes they

just don’t match up.”

A new addition to the rush process this year was allowing recruitment to take place entirely in Sorority Village. According to Pierce, this made the rush process much smoother.

Lori Eller, sophomore in political science and new member of Sigma Kappa, was pleased with her bid.

“I was a freshman last year and I wanted something more out of UT, and this was definitely it,” said Eller.

After new members join their sororities as pledges, they begin a far less stressful process: getting to know their sisters and familiarizing themselves with their sorority.

“We just do different events and try to get to know all our new members,” said

Annie Arrington, sophomore in kinesiology and member of Delta Zeta. “We really just hang out.”

Katherine Johnson, senior in supply chain and business administration and president of the Panhellenic Council claims that without her sisterhood, she would not be the person she is today.

“I always encourage people to join – it’s not just about going to chapter meetings once a week or hanging out with friends on the weekend, you really do learn those life skills that you’re not going to learn in the classroom,” said Johnson.

“Joining a chapter costs money, but it’s an investment that’s going to prepare you for your future.”

Tanner Hancock Staff Writer “Only when you accept that one day you’ll die, can you let go and make the best out of life,” wrote Brazillian twins Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba, the authors and illustrators of 2014’s Life of the Mind Selection, “Daytripper.”

Before setting foot into their first classroom, incoming freshman were asked to read the graphic novel as a part of UT’s 2014 First Year Studies program. Students met Aug. 18 for a special event in Thompson Boling Arena where they were treated to the authors’ own perspective and analysis of the graphic novel.

Dating back to 1972, First Year Studies was created as a means to insure the successful transition into college life for all incoming freshman of the university.

“Daytripper” redefines perspective of literature

Books chart in 2011. Published by the DC Comics imprint Vertigo, the work is notable for being both the first Brazilian selection as well as the first graphic novel chosen as the official Life of the Mind book.

The graphic novel follows the tumultuous life of Bras De Olivias Dominguez as he experiences death at various turning points in his life. Rather than ending the novel, the numerous deaths of the protagonist serve to accentuate the frailty

of life, as the reader is continually reminded of the importance of living without regret in an uncertain world.

For freshman accounting major Cameron DeJean, reading “Daytripper” was a positive way to start off the school year.

“Each chapter was like a section of his life,” DeJean said, comparing his freshman year to a new section of his own life.

Additionally, DeJean found the graphic novel medium “easier to read” than traditional literature, as the illustrations helped form “mental images” which helped to understand the plot.

First Year Studies Director Jason Mastrogiovanni and Provost for Student Success Dr. Ruth Hall co-chaired the Life of the Mind book selection for 2014. In selecting the book, Mastrogiovanni saw “Daytripper” as an “opportunity to explore a slightly different medium,” while also exploring the theme of creativity.

Denying the prejudice that graphic novels “shouldn’t be taken seriously,” Hall hoped students would “be able to sup-

port” differing opinions in their new college environment.

Echoing the views of the author, Hall voiced the importance of college friends and the ability “to connect in ways that will have meaning for you the rest of your life,” both are values expressed through the novel.

“It’s not just about making the friendship,” Hall said of the lessons Daytripper provides.

“Its about the opportunity to learn from that person.”

Nominations for the 2015 Life of the Mind Book can be submitted online through fys. utk.edu.

RENAMING continued from Page 1 “I grew up listening to stories about General Neyland, and about how my grandfather used to buy a young Johnny Majors and his brothers hamburgers on the Lynchburg square,” Davis said. “So, I’ve got to say that I am a little biased towards General’s Quarters ... I can’t wait to find out what the student body chooses, because I plan on being there the next three years of law school to cheer on the Vols.”

For Kelsey Keny, student body president and senior

in journalism and electronic media, the naming of the student section provides students with an identity many other universities have already claimed.

“If you think of places like Texas A&M who call their fans ‘The 12th Man’ or Duke basketball with the ‘Cameron Crazies,’ those names just give an extra sense of pride and participation for school spirit,” Keny said. “Having a name for the student section just amplifies feeling like a part of something.

“It’s just another way to show everyone else how great it is to be a Tennessee Vol.”

Student teachers aren’t just students Inside and Out by

Katie Grugin

What do you call someone who works 50 or more hours a week for a set period of time, gets paid nothing and is expected to be grateful for the opportunity to work, gain experience and live under the influence of crushing stereotypes?

If this joke was told in 1614, the punchline would be “an indentured servant” and few would laugh. Since it is 2014, and we like to think American society has progressed a little in the past 400 years, the current answer is “student teachers.” Now, we can laugh.

I am fortunate enough to have several young teachers in my life. Every single one I have met, without exception, has been compassionate, intelligent, creative, exhaustingly hard-working and passionate about their careers and the children they teach.

They are constantly encouraging the people around them. They share their young, naive realism with enough of the people they interact with for me to make use of the term “hyperbole.” Personally, I have never wanted to actually BE a member of this particular group, largely because my character is not noble enough to influence the minds of thousands only to be rewarded with shockingly low pay, unnecessarily long hours and the critique of every protective mother that walks through the classroom door.

It confuses me that these bright, eager young professionals, if they decide that is the career they want, should be required to work within such an archaic system. By archaic, I mean it resembles the 19th century when the role of schoolmarm was filled by young women waiting to find husbands to support them, or else by a woman too old to be married, therefore lacking any children other than their students.

In Tennessee, the average starting salary for a teacher is $33,000, minus taxes, according to the National Education Association. Is that a living wage?

Certainly, in a one-person household with no health problems and a car that always works according to plan. Unfortunately, the pool of men and women who want to fully support their spouses and children has been shrinking rapidly over the years; only seven percent of American households consist of the traditional model of one working spouse and one stay-at-home spouse plus children, according to the Census Bureau’s 2002 population survey. The pool of men and women who want to be supported by their spouses has apparently gotten smaller as well.

Even ignoring the future career pay compared to hours worked and time put in, what is even more confusing to me is the graduate school portion. In a five-year teaching program at UT, a grad student can look forward to working 40 hours or more a week (gaining “experience”) for the length of an academic year. They do all of this for the generous pay of no money whatsoever.

Instead, they are expected to provide their own food, housing and transportation costs, cannot maintain an outside job and attend classes that they pay somewhere around $10,000 to take full time. This math just does not add up to me. Of course, eager students can always take out loans to cover the costs of class and survival.

When they get their guaranteed teaching job after graduation they can pay off their loans with the generous salary allotted them by taxpayers who, thanks to teachers’ willingness to do their jobs, do not have to pay for education or childcare. There is, however, that matter of $33,000 starting pay in an unpredictable economy. This is especially surprising in view of other degree programs such as the engineering program.

Students who co-op work for experience and resume help, but they also are generally paid well above minimum wage as they should be.

Students who perform the same jobs as the professionals they are learning to be should be compensated for their work, especially when that work is a public service. Teachers should be paid to teach, whether they happen to be students at the time or not.

Mental perks to mad cycling Seven Doctors Say by

Jonathan Burkhalter Bicycling is sweeping the nation.

You may have noticed a bicyclist zooming by you on a sidewalk or peddling along in front of you while you drive. In fact, you’ve probably noticed more than just one, as bicycling is catching on as a good workout and alternative to driving.

So what’s the mental method behind the pedals that make people want to sweat and struggle up hills and down roads instead of a leisurely drive in an automobile?

The truth is, there are a lot of great advantages to biking. The physical advantages are rather obvious -- one burns more calories biking than merely sitting behind the wheel, or even walking. The workout keeps your muscles fit. Like other physical workouts, exercise stimulates brain cell growth, reduces stress and gives one the accomplished feeling they did something worthwhile with their morning. Unlike working out in the gym, most bikers actually look forward to riding since the

you’re moving ten mph on a metal frame rather than 30 mph hidden behind metal and glass.

What I think is the most important benefit to bicyclists is the opportunity to take in their surroundings more than drivers.

They can notice the interesting architecture on the buildings, the way trees branch out with their fingertips to the clouds in the park, and little pieces of beauty that surround us every day that are easy to fly by and miss when moving 30 to 60 mph.

While the greater opportunity for human interaction and taking in our surroundings sound like small benefits, I think they are actually the largest of all. After all, the purpose of life is to enjoy it, not fly through it.

So maybe we shouldn’t perceive this as an annoying crowd of cyclists slowing down the flow of traffic. Perhaps instead, it is a new wave of slowing down, slower than the steady pace of bumper-to-bumper traffic of Cumberland Ave., to appreciate our bodies and minds in this communal experience. I even venture to suggest this is one new trend everyone should try, as the mental and physical benefits are incredibly worthwhile.

Column for people who can’t read good Stained and Confused by

Alexandra Chiasson Since I first picked up a copy of this editorially independent newspaper, I have longed to see my ideas, however unsolicited they may be, in print. It has happened before, in a rather embarrassing letter to the editor--which is now something of a moot point and and an experience I would prefer to forget.

Note: Contrary to what many of my “friends” and “loved ones” might expect-or perhaps what my rambling might have implied thus far--I am not going to use this new platform to poke fun at the very people who publish my writing. I am above this. I do not pee in my own pool because let’s face it: I am lucky to have a pool in the first place. But just to be candid with you, dear reader, I do pee a lot. I’m simply going to avoid those pools which are my own. Probably.

But when the Editor-in-Chief and fellow English major, Claire Dodson, invited me to write a weekly column, I was ecstatic. I mean, is there a better way

to get attention? I love attention. When famous people want attention, they have someone, like me, write an opinion piece for them. Then, they send it to a famous newspaper. I figured this new journalistic enterprise would be excellent practice for when I one day work for a famous person.

Predictably, I told Claire I would do it. I told her “count me in,” or something similarly enthusiastic and lame, and foolishly signed away at least an hour of my week for an entire academic year. Soon, I reverted to my natural state: nervous.

As the anxiety set in, the fear constipated me. Note: I was also literally constipated.

I strained for hours, trying to think of a suitable theme for my column. I decided to start with a target demographic.

Writing for sorority women, although one of the best readerships to have, seemed too hard. However, I felt like it might be a little presumptuous because I’m not in a sorority. Then I pondered targeting the University’s own intelligentsia, another group devoted to opinionated writing.

To share my musings on current events, to advocate for marginalized groups, to dissect and criticize Kafkaesque bureaucracies, to raise systemic consciousness, to deconstruct gender, to drink fair-trade coffee and cease my gluten intake: these all seemed like admirable pursuits, if a bit contrary to my innately humble disposi-

tion. Also, way too much work.

After giving up any prospect of a devoted sorority girl fan base and drying bitter tears on my copy of “A People’s History of the United States,” I realized I was approaching this all wrong. Why write for a specific campus group? And why make myself vulnerable to the criticism of my peers? I might get angry emails from people who are bored and want to be disagreeable. I might even, goddess forbid, receive death threats. It’s risky to have real opinions.

So, soon-to-be-devoted reader, I would like to congratulate you on making it to the end of my first-ever opinion piece, in which I offer an opinion on virtually nothing of importance. My column (*gains confidence*) is a column for people who can’t read good. It is a column for those who are either incapable of understanding, or else unwilling to digest the Millennial drivel that other Beacon columnists might subject you to, should you choose to read this newspaper from cover to cover. I have spared you, and in return I expect nothing but an empty inbox and my life as I know it. And so begins our love affair.

payout of the workload usually involves a thrilling ride with the wind blowing in your face. However, physical benefits aren’t the only reason why a new biking revolution has swept North America.

Hidden behind the physical benefits of biking are the mental benefits. As mentioned previously, biking can help stimulate brain cell growth and reduce stress.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Bikers have an easier time sleeping full nights due to their benefit of having their cardiac rhythm in sync. The joy of riding can be enough to aid in depression and other mental battles, similar to a “runner’s high.”

There are other mental attributes to cycling which have nothing at all to do with physical activity. When the average American is driving to work, their human interaction is extremely limited. The only option for them to really engage with other humans is if there are others in the car or brief engagements with people on sidewalks or in traffic, who they are usually cursing at and/or giving obscene gestures.

Yet when one is biking, they can stop to see friends they pass on the sidewalk if time permits, or ride with other bikers while conversing. Those lingering stares at strangers last quite a bit longer when

Despite fluctuations in sales that vary based on factors such as the weather, Dale’s Fried Pies is expanding. A food truck should be on streets this fall, which means warm pies in the winter, and a permanent, private kitchen in the works.

So far, the little pie stand has seen cities like Nashville, Tennessee and Atlanta, but Dale wants to take them further. “It would be fun to bring it to where I’m from because I have a lot of friends and family who want to try them,� Dale said. “That would be a long drive hauling that stand all the way to Chicago. I don’t know Dale Mackey, owner and founder of Dale’s Fried Pies, if it’ll ever happen, but it’s a dream.� poses with her stand.

Meghan Lamsey holds Phil outside of Blessed John XXIII University Catholic Center on Aug. 18. “I’ve always loved dogs, and Phil’s great because she’s so cuddly,” Lamsey said.

continued from Page 1 In addition to serving as the main writer for KMW, Ogelsby now finds and books talent for the Square Room Showcase, an event that spotlights burgeoning local talent at the venue’s Market Square location.

Megan Lange works at the Square Room planning events and hospitality and has had the opportunity to work with Ogelsby.

“When you think about local musicians, it can be hard to find support or an outlet for that necessary marketing,” Lange said.

“Kent found a niche that had as yet been untapped and went at it.”

For the showcase, the Square Room is rented out for four to five bands to perform. The event aims to bring eclectic and diverse groups who span genres, which helps to satisfy a wide variety of attendees.

“By combining groups with very unique and different sounds, each showcase appeals to a diverse audience,” Lange said.

Ogelsby plans on continuing to work on the website; however, he is open to moving on to other careers in music. Still, he wants the website to live on.

“If I go on to anything else, I would like for this idea to go on,” Ogelsby said.

“There should be a hub where you can go to listen to local bands in one centralized spot.”

Subtlety is key in Michael Cera’s album Thomas Carpenter Columnist

Michael Cera has written an album.

Yes, the same Michael Cera we all know from his typecast, yet still increasingly loveable, role: an awkward American adolescent.

Cera has been teasing us for years about his musical abilities, from playing bass in the indie punk band, Sex Bob-omb, in the movie “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” to strumming along to “Anyone Else But You” with Ellen Page at the end of “Juno.”

This is not his first crack at playing music professionally, however. Cera toured with indie supergroup Mister Heavenly in 2011, playing bass with them as they opened a string of shows for Passion Pit. Although his time with Mister Heavenly was short-lived, perhaps it inspired him enough to start seriously working on his own music.

When hearing of this album’s release, a five or six song EP was expected. However, a surpris-

ingly massive list of 18 songs was found on his Bandcamp page. With three bonus tracks.

While most tracks are under three minutes, this was clearly a serious undertaking on Cera’s part.

After a first listen, it’s hard to discern if there is any consistency throughout the album.

This idea is quickly dismissed after giving it a second chance. If there is one word to best describe this album, it’s subtle. Subtle works here, just like it works in his various acting roles. It is clear he has a bunch of ideas he is trying to express, but he’s not obnoxious about them. This often plagues many newer bands; they have one or two great ideas, whether musical or lyrical, and they feel the need to exhaust them. Cera doesn’t. He gives it to you straight. This album is honest if nothing else.

It’s not trying to be something it’s not, and we all know the indie rock scene sometimes gets a bad rep for being pretentious. Not every song is great or fully formed, but there are a few standout songs that prove Cera’s ability as a songwriter. Even in the various fluff songs, where he’s just kind of playing around on the

piano, you get a whiff of something not amateur or mediocre at all. His sound is similar to some of Dr. Dog’s early stuff, although not nearly as serious, and is quiet like Gregory Alan Isakov. He still lacks is maturity though, but this will come with time.

This album probably wouldn’t have been on my radar if it wasn’t written by Michael Cera, but that shouldn’t discredit it either. It won’t receive much praise critically, nor should it, but it’s a good album. This is music that doesn’t want to be a big deal, which is part of its charm. It shows he has the ability to write music and execute it in an honest way, which is more than you can say about many new artists.

It’s unorganized, messy and at times incoherent, both musically and lyrically, but Cera has managed to write something enjoyable and unique—something increasingly hard to come by these days.

“I saw Panic! At The Disco in Charlotte,” Shannon Ryan, freshman in microbiology, said. “I got the tickets cheap, and mostly went on a whim, but they were surprisingly good. They had a really good opening, and they performed really well live.”

“Grouplove was there, and they were my favorite,” said Charlie Walton, freshman in kinesiology.

“They gave out great food and threw free stuff out to the crowd.

It was really cool.”

“I saw the Black Jacket Symphony in the Tennessee Theater,” said Melanie Ratliff, fifth-year student in psychology and elementary education. “They’re just a really talented group of people that put on cover shows.

They were awesome. I would tell everyone to go. I’m going to see them when they come back next month.”

“The atmosphere was my favorite part for sure,” said Corey Kiser, freshman in math and vocal performance. “Everybody was there to have a good time, and everyone was really friendly. You had people shouting ‘Happy Roo!’ everywhere. It reminded me a lot of the UT atmosphere with how friendly everybody was.”

Despite the return of classes, nostalgic memories of summer still linger.

The Daily Beacon asked students to recall their favorite summer concerts and share their photos – a little something to hold us over until next summer.

Former Memphis forward Dominic Woodson gets a rebound during the Tigers’ loss to SMU on Feb. 1 at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas. Woodson’s transfer to Tennessee is expected to be annouced on Thursday.

continued from Page 1 A decision on his eligibility will be determined later.

The addition of Woodson would fill a glaring need for the Vols down low as the two biggest players currently listed on Tennessee’s roster are freshman Tariq Owens (6-foot10-inches, 205 pounds) and junior Derek Reese (6-foot-8-inches, 220 pounds).

The Round Rock, Texas native averaged 2.5 points and 1.9 rebounds per game as a freshman last season with the Tigers – his best performance coming on Feb. 1 where he

SOCCER continued from Page 1 Gawkins said she believes being a freshman at a large program like the UT’s helps motivate her and her fellow freshmen to become better players.

corralled 11 rebounds and scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting in 18 minutes.

And while Pastner described Woodson as better “talent-wise” than Memphis starting big men Shaq Goodwin and Austin Nichols, the problem with the former 4-star prospect has been his off-the-field conduct.

Woodson was handed a six-game suspension for cursing on the bench in a Feb. 12 game against UCF, and he did not travel with the Tigers during the NCAA tournament due to a violation of team rules.

According to a report from The Memphis Commercial-Appeal, Woodson was also involved in a

physical altercation with a Memphis football player, Robert Davis, over the summer. The report, however, indicated that Davis was the aggressor.

Originally planning to attend Baylor University for his freshman year, Woodson decommitted from the Bears due to a traffic jam at the forward position with the return of Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin.

Nine days later, he flipped from Baylor to Memphis.

Woodson will become the second Memphis Tiger to transfer to Tennessee in as many seasons, following in the footsteps of Antonio Barton, who averaged 7.5 points per game as a senior last season.

drives us to work harder. Because we know we are freshmen, we know that there is so many lines ahead of us and so many great players to look up to. So we are working to set that example for the incoming freshmen next year.”

Both Gawkins and Flynn had a wide array of reasons to play soccer at UT. These reasons include academics and the quality of competition in the SEC. Flynn was quick to cite the atmo-

sphere as a major influence in her choice to spend her next four years at UT. “I really like the atmosphere here because I think there is so much support for athletics, especially women’s athletics and you don’t really find that everywhere,” she said.

The three freshman will get their first opportunity to showcase their talents Aug. 22 when the Lady Vols face off against Milwaukee on Laura Moynihan Field at 5 p.m.

In case you missed it, a new name for UT’s student section will be announced during the Aug. 31 season opener against Utah State.

You might wonder why the student section does not already have a name, or why it needs one. But consider, instead, who the request for a name came from.

In a closed-door meeting at the football complex with several dozen student leaders nearly a year ago, Head Coach Butch Jones said he wanted students to create an identity for themselves in Neyland Stadium.

A year later, the ballot is set. From hundreds of submitted suggestions, the Student Government Association whittled the pool down to five possible names.

Here’s a look at the contenders and my take on their strengths and weaknesses.

Voting ends Sunday at nameourhome.com Smokey’s Howl – A decent choice because it incorporates UT history. The unique howl of a bluetick coonhound at halftime of a game in 1953 birthed the tradition of Smokey.

Unfortunately, this name is tainted by the Greek cheering competition, also named “Smokey’s Howl.” This awkwardly infiltrates various UT athletic events each fall semester.

General’s Quarters – Certainly a usable option because of the significance of Gen. Robert Neyland within UT football lore. Considering the name of the football stadium, it would make sense to call the student section the “General’s Quarters.”

But just like “Smokey’s Howl,” this name is also not original. Right now it is the name of the most popular forum on Volquest.com, a website that covers UT sports. Heck, there might even be some copyright issues in play.

Vol Army – It builds off the tradition of the Vol Navy nicely but has a strange ring to it when said too quickly. “Vallarmy” sounds more like a type of rodent than an SEC student section.

Rocky Top Rowdies – Probably as solid a nickname for a UT student section as there ever will be. It flows, incorporates UT’s unofficial fight song and ends with a word which defines what an SEC student section should be.

For the last several years the basketball student section has gone by this name. So no, it’s not original, but the promotions department could probably reuse old posters and bust out some boxed T-shirts to save money.

Big Orange Crew – Boring. But hey, UT’s student section is sometimes too.

Regardless of what it is named, the student section will be under scrutiny in 2014. All student seating has been moved to the lower bowl of the stadium, placing more pressure on the student body.

Splotches of empty seats are an eyesore when they’re in the upper deck, but they’re an embarrassment in the lower bowl.

Though student attendance improved dramatically in 2013 compared to 2012, an average of more than 4,000 tickets per game went unused during seven home games last season, according to data from UT’s ticket office.

In a stadium with a capacity of 102,455, those unused tickets could be the difference between a five-digit attendance total and a six-digit total.

If UT students can’t stomach the $10 ticket price and fill their section, maybe regular fans who pay much more for entry into Neyland Stadium will come up with their own nickname for the empty bleachers to represent absent students.

How about, “Butch’s Buttchuggers?”
