The Tennessee Volunteers have not played a home game on a Thursday since 1938— when the Tennessee Vols beat the Kentucky Wildcats 46-0—and they haven’t played a season home opener on a Thursday since 1896.

But that changed on Thursday, Sept. 1, when the home opener caused UT to call for an administrative closing. The campus was closed to accommodate traffic, parking and security measures that accompany every game day.

“The request to move the game to Thursday came from ESPN,” Chris Cimino, Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration, said. “Campus administration carefully considered the impact of such a move, including the impact to class schedules, transportation and other game day operations.’

“In the end, we believe we made the correct decision for the university and the fans.”

While fans packed into campus to watch the game, it also caused some changes to the school’s academic calendar. To keep the same

number of days in the academic calendar, there will be final exams held Saturday, Dec. 3, from 8 a.m.-9:15 p.m.

Not all students were excited about the game changing their schedule.

“I think it is unnecessary,” Natalie Ledford, sophomore in marketing and management, said. “I think it messes up my schedule a lot ... I don’t like having finals on Saturday, but it gets them done faster.”

Other students thought that the additional day was worth it for the sold out opening game.

“I feel that it hypes all the students up to be engaged and ready for football, and knowing that all of the student section is sold out makes it even better,” Kayla Washington, freshman in kinesiology, said. “It makes it seem like it wasn’t a waste of time to cancel classes.”

Much of that anticipation and excitement for the Thursday game and for the rest of the season could be coming from Tennessee’s preseason ranking in the AP Poll. The AP Poll released the preseason rankings Aug. 21, 2016 with Tennessee ranked number nine.

UT has not had this high a ranking at the start of the season since the team was ranked number three in 2005.

Congress trying to prevent government shutdown

LSU suspends player for late hit

Battle at Bristol estimated to bring economic boost

Congress has taken a seven-week recess and will finally return on Tuesday, Sep. 6.

Now, they have less than a month to fund the federal government, otherwise there will be a shutdown. This could close the National Parks, the Federal Election Commission or the Center for Disease Control. Many people are also worried about a problem left in July, specifically the Zika virus and how the government plans to fund prevention of the virus.

There is speculation that not many issues will find progress before congress leaves for the elections in October.

Moments after D’Cota Dixon, a defensive safety for the Wisconsin Badgers, made an interception for a win against LSU, he was brought to the ground by Josh Boutte, an offensive lineman, in a late game hit. LSU coach Les Miles called the play “logical,” also stating that Boutte is “not a malicious guy.” However, Miles has decided that Boutte will not play in their home opener against Jacksonville State. Greg Sankey, SEC commissioner, said he believed the situation has been dealt with justly, has accepted the one-game suspension and says no further penalty will be given.

Business owners in Bristol, Tenn. and Bristol, Virginia, are preparing for the onslaught of visitors that the Battle at Bristol will bring in this coming weekend on Sep. 9 and 10. when Virginia Tech and Tennessee play against each other at Bristol Motor Speedway. An estimated crowd of 150,000 are expected for the football game on Saturday, while even more are expected for the Kenny Chesney concert occurring on Friday evening. This weekend’s events could bring in $126 million for the Bristol area. Because of the expected crowds, many businesses are extending their hours.

UT Recycling aims for zero waste on game day Chris Salvemini

Asst. News Editor One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, but at the University of Tennessee, UT Recycling is aiming for zero waste this football season.

For an institution to average zero waste, it must divert at least 90 percent of its trash away from landfills and into recycling and compost programs.

On game days, for example, the university can accumulate 21 tons of trash. To meet the zero waste initiative minimum, 18.9 tons would have to be diverted per game. Jay Price, the Recycling Manager at UT, relies on a team of volunteers to accomplish this.

“We start at least a couple of hours before the game starts, when the gates open. We walk back and forth, pick stuff off the ground, kind of do trick-or-treating,” Price said. “People will throw stuff in the bag you’re holding rather than on the ground. We collect all that material at kickoff in what we call the ‘stadium sweep’ — we send recycling trucks all around the stadium collecting all the material at the gate and what we’ve collected.”

To prepare for game day, the team takes steps to ensure that attendees know what can be recycled and what has to be thrown away. Trash cans are accompanied by recycling bins which are clearly marked with pictures of what can be tossed in them. Tailgaters also received different colored bags: clear for landfill waste and blue for recyclables.

UT Recycling also places bins on Pedestrian Walkway and by the entrance gates of the stadiumat popular tailgating spots.

“We hand out little buttons for people who are recycling with catchy phrases about the team. It’s just a fun different way to remind people to recycle and get a fun prize for doing so,” Price said.

Recyclables are sent to a recycling company where they are separated and prepared to ship to other companies. Compost is taken to UT’s own facility off of Cherokee Trail, where it is used to fertilize crops at UT’s organic farm.

Thursday’s game was a test for UT’s ability to manage its trash. Since most football games are played on a Saturday, UT Recycling and Facility Services usually have two days to clean up before classes start. Since there were classes on Friday,

Facility Services only had half the usual amount of time.

“We’re compressing two days’ work into one day ... We’ve got everybody in operations working, everybody in zone maintenance working, everybody in utilities working from 6 a.m.

Wednesday morning until 7 or 8 a.m. Friday morning or whenever we get finished,” Director of Facilities Operations Bob Caudill said.

While statistics for Thursday’s game are unavailable, UT Recycling diverted an average of 75 percent of trash last season — an improvement over the season before where 66 percent of trash made it into recycling.

UT Recycling is making an effort to encourage attendees of UT football games to recycle.

Downtown restaurant offers taste of France Bryanne Brewer

Arts & Culture Editor This weekend while walking down Gay Street, I found a well hidden gem.

The French Market Crêperie isn’t new to Knoxville by any means, but with a solid wood tunnel obstructing the view of the small restaurant, it’s no surprise many students have overlooked its existence. Despite the wooden scaffolding, however, I was able to enjoy Knoxville’s first and only crêperie.

Its a small space that exudes a large atmosphere. There are only a handful of tables inside and on the outdoor patio, but it gives the restaurant an almost homey feel — something you don’t get at many places around here. There are French posters lining the walls and soft French instrumental music playing, giving the place an obvious but not obnoxious Paris feel.

Because the crêperie is so small, there’s almost always a small to medium sized line, but one glance at the menu ensures that the food will be worth the wait.

They have both sweet and savory crêpes ranging from blueberry lemon — which one customer claimed was the best— to cheese,

spinach and turkey flavored ones. As a purely local restaurant, owners Susan and Allen Tate ensure that all crêpes are filled with premium cheeses, imported, all natural meats and stuffed with the freshest vegetables. Using both traditional and buckwheat flour, imported directly from France, their crêpes are as authentic as you can get in East Tennessee. But, if crêpes do not tickle your fancy, the French Market Crêperie also offers baguettes, croissant sandwiches an array of soups and salads.

After some deliberation, I ordered the strawberry and creme crêpe, cherry cheesecake crêpe, a bacon, egg and cheese croissant and a cup of their LavAzza coffee — when in France, right?

Even though I had to wait 30 minutes for my food — the trick is to not go on Sundays — when my food arrived it was like a package from Paris itself.

The presentation of the food was beautiful, despite being served on disposable plates. It was everything I could have wanted from a Tennessean French restaurant. I’m no French culinary expert, but the quality of my food was exceptional. If you are looking for cheap, French cuisine or if you just want to expand your palate and try something new, you should give the French Market Crêperie located at 526 South Gay Street a taste.

Apparently my forearms can sweat Caroline Longmire This Is Fine

I heard that when you first get to heaven, you get to ask God one question. Most people have told me that they are going to ask questions like ‘Why is there constant war in the world?’ or ‘Why are there natural disasters taking place in areas that can barely afford to survive, much less come back from a hurricane?’ I would always put on my most concerned face and nod along as they entered into deep reflection on their one question, and I would try my hardest to think of a question that I just had to have answered by the all-knowing.

However, it did not hit me until I returned to campus in August and was walking across the Pedestrian Bridge: Why, God, did you make the place I currently live the earthly version of the seventh layer of hell?

Every morning, I leave Humes Hall. I walk through the parking lot. I get to the sidewalk where, suddenly, I am no longer covered by the sweet, sweet shade of the trees lining the edge of Presidential Court. The sidewalk now stretches out before me in all of its slightly inclined, off-white, fully-exposed-to-the-sun glory. I begin the longhaul that I face every Monday, Wednesday and Friday up to my first class on the Hill, and all seems to be going well until I get in front of Brown Hall. I made it really far, didn’t I? The workout tank top and cropped yoga pants that I carefully chose after checking the weather twice were no longer “wicking away moisture” like the tag so proudly boasted. I tried my best to ignore the sweat drops dripping down my back and into the waistline of my pants, but to no avail. The straps on my backpack began to soak up the sweat that was forming under them — nice, I know — and the sun only shone brighter as I made it down Ped and arrived at the street. As I stood waiting for the sign to change, I could feel the hairs sticking to the back of my neck and my mascara literally melting off my eyelashes and onto my face.

What was happening? Did I die and was now being forced to spend eternity in hell because I “forgot” to tell the Chick-fil-A worker that she had accidentally given me a large fry instead of the small that I ordered? By now, I was only a short walk from the steps at the bottom of the Hill. The steps that towered in front of me like some sort of sick architectural joke. The steps that I had to walk up to get to my class. The steps that were the only obstacle from me and my airconditioned classroom. I wiped the single tear that slid down my face — or maybe it was a sweat drop, I’m not sure, either way my body was crying — and I began to climb the stairs. I prayed for strength with every lift of my foot and with every flex of my thigh. When I made it halfway up, I could feel every ray of sunlight that was hitting my back and every pore on my body practically raining sweat. At long last, I, Caroline Longmire, made it to the top of the stairs. I had only had to stop, drop to my knees, shake my fist in the air and curse the universe for making something like, I don’t know, an actual ball of fire to be the thing that was necessary for life. As I curved along the sidewalk, only a few more seconds from reaching my building, I mentally prepared myself for the sheer elation that was going to fill my body when I would finally get to open the doors to the promised land — lecture room 302.

I’ll spare you the details of what actually happened when I walked through the doors and felt the first cool wave of air hit my face simply because nobody likes to hear about somebody falling onto the cold tile, sobbing, kissing the floor and making dust angels out of the every day dirt and debris that covered the high-traffic hallway.

Now it was time to go find a bathroom where I could wipe my body down with paper towels so people didn’t think I had swum across the Tennessee River. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I noticed how

shiny and red my once perfectly matte-powdered face was; how my once wispy hairs that so cutely framed my face now stuck to the sides of it. I quickly convinced myself that my sweat was giving me a natural, fresh glow and that the pheromones that I was now so intensely releasing would attract a nice guy much easier than the Tropical Escape body spray that I had sprayed on before I left.

I write this back in my dorm room that is a reasonable 72 degrees, according to the Snapchat filter, and I relish in the wind that is being blasted from my desk fan to my face at point-blank range. My mind wonders, dreaming of that first brisk autumn breeze that will sweep down the sidewalk that I will still be walking, and follows me all the way to the stairs that once made me feel like pregnant/dying/elderly camel that was making its way across across a distant desert. The first breeze will signal the beginning of my new life. Cute boys will stop asking me questions like ‘Are you okay?’ and ‘How many bottles of water are you going to get out of your backpack and pour down your shirt?’

Instead, they will be asking me things like ‘May I sit next to you, and also when would you like to set the date for our destination wedding?’ and ‘Would you like to go pick pumpkins this weekend and then finish off the day with supper with my parents?’ And to that I would reply ‘Of course, how did you know that spending time with my significant other’s parents is all I have ever wanted since I was eight?’

Unfortunately, that fantasy is still so far away. For at least another month I am going to have to skip putting on bottom eyeliner that is sure to run, and even entertaining the idea of wearing a normal bra rather than one from the active section of Old Navy. However, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know that soon I will be blessed with dry backpack straps and the opportunity to wear my hair in something other than a thin ponytail. I will soon be free of this 92 degree nightmare.

Coalition condemns UTK administration’s hypocrisy and inaction This letter was submitted to The Daily Beacon on Friday, Sept. 2, as a press release. It is now being published in-full as a Letter to the Editor with permission from the UTK Diversity Matters Coalition.

Yesterday, Thursday, September 1st, was the first football game day of the year for the University of Tennessee. After choosing to schedule the first football game on a class day, administration at our university swiftly decided that they had no choice but to cancel class campus-wide, prioritizing big bucks over the education and enrichment of its students. In contrast to this decisiveness, in April while the Tennessee General Assembly and Governor Haslam passed a law that defunded the UT Office for Diversity and Inclusion, that same administration wouldn’t even bother to put out a statement condemning the defunding, yet again choosing to appease donors and lawmakers rather than protecting and supporting its students. Our state government passed a law denying the constitutional rights of our faculty and staff, and our administration had NOTHING to say about it. Students have been abandoned to pick up the pieces and keep programs for equity and inclusion alive in a limbo of hostility and uncertainty–so that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Here’s an update that you won’t hear from the PR department that runs our university on just a few of the issues students face on our campus: –Our elected officials defended their legislation by saying they weren’t “defunding” diversity, but just “diverting” the money to a scholarship fund for minor-

ity students in engineering. Yet there is still no proof that this scholarship program even exists, leaving nearly half a million dollars unaccounted for.

–As we predicted last year, the censorship engendered and encouraged by UT’s higher-ups is pushing incredible professors and administrators out of and away from UT, degrading the quality of our education and disrupting our campus climate. Immediately after the bill passed, two strong advocates for students were pushed out of the administration: Donna Braquet was fired from her post as Director of the Pride Center and Rickey Hall left his job as Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion for a post at another university. In fact, five Vice Chancellors and the Chancellor have recently retired or moved to other schools.

–Black students continue to be underrepresented at UT compared to Tennessee demographics. In the most recently available statistics, UT’s student population was 6.6% black, while Tennessee as a whole is 17.1% black. An investigative report in the Daily Beacon last year found that our campus housing is racially segregated.

–Many sidewalks, crosswalks, and buildings on campus are inaccessible to students with disabilities and fail to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. –The Princeton Review recently rated the University of Tennessee as the 10th worst school in the nation for LGBT-unfriendliness, our second consecutive year in the bottom ten. We have been ranked in the bottom twenty for most of the last decade. Meanwhile, in the

few weeks since school started back, signs promoting LGBTQ+ programming have been destroyed, the Pride Center has been vandalized, and proponents of gender-neutral pronouns are being censored.

While our administration remains silent, we are speaking out. Yesterday we proudly declared that #UTDiversityMatters and #BlackLivesMatter by dropping banners on the Pedestrian Walkway bridge and the Min Kao parking garage, as well as by chalking all over campus. While we want to apologize to the campus workers who were tasked with cleaning the banners and chalk up because our administration wants to hide from the truth, we also want everyone to understand this: the academic calendar may have changed, but our resolve to fight for equity and inclusion at the University of Tennessee only grows stronger than ever.

So often our administrators and legislators attempt to exclude our voices as students from these discussions and make decisions about us, without us. This coalition exists to make sure that doesn’t happen. If our administration and our legislature won’t work for our wellbeing and our constitutional rights, we will change things ourselves. To keep up this fight, we need your help. Over the coming months, expect to hear from us again: in actions, protests, discussions about the new Chancellor, a few state legislator races, and wherever else we’re needed. Raise your voice with ours.

We still have work to do. We won’t - can’t - stop fighting until all of us are free.

Campus Workers unite to ensure quality working conditions

Behind the Scenes

Diana Moyer, President of United Campus Workers

Welcome to new and returning students, faculty and staff! Fall is always an exciting time of year as the new academic year begins and new faces arrive on campus. This column is first in a series that members of United Campus Workers (UCW) will write for The Daily Beacon.

Established in 2000, United Campus Workers is Tennessee’s public higher education union, representing over 1600 employees on 17 university and community college campuses across the state. We represent all higher education workers-- faculty, staff and graduate students. Our members can be found teaching classes, processing admission applications, cleaning the dorms and keeping the grounds trimmed, among many other important jobs. We represent diverse types of campus work but are united in our belief that by banding together we can advance social and economic justice on campus and in our communities. Like most unions, solidarity and a commitment to our common welfare guide our actions.

Support from individual students and the UT Progressive Student Alliance has been a big contributor to the growth of UCW. The Progressive Student Alliance, joined by faculty, staff and community allies, was a key part of the 1999 Living Wage Campaign, which was the precursor to the formation of UCW. The campaign hosted a teach-in and sponsored a rally attended by close to 500 students, staff, faculty and community supporters. They succeeded in widely

publicizing the plight of UT workers who earned less than a living wage and faced poor working conditions.

Seeing the power in collective action and the potential for tackling broader issues, the members of the Living Wage Campaign transformed into the organization United Campus Workers, later affiliating with Communications Workers of America (CWA). UCW wins for worker rights like ending forced overtime for housing workers, wage and starting pay increases, raises during the recession of 2007-2009, free hepatitis B vaccines for housekeepers and building maintenance workers, overtime pay for UT Institute of Agriculture workers, health insurance for UT and the University of Memphis graduate students and a guaranteed minimum floor for percentage wage increases.

By striving for good working conditions and fair wages, UCW contributes to UT being able to more effectively carry out its mission of excellence in teaching, scholarship and community engagement. We are proud of the amazing students, faculty and staff at the University and we use press releases, public actions and lobbying to convey the message to the state legislature and the public that increased state appropriations to higher education — even just fully funding their own funding formula — is an investment in our state’s future success.

People new to campus might most closely associate United Campus Workers with #TNisNOTforSale, the campaign to stop Governor Bill Haslam from out-

sourcing facilities management jobs in higher education, prisons and other state-owned properties. UCW is opposed to the outsourcing plan for many reasons.

First, the plan uses a vested outsourcing model, which has been untested in the public sphere and moving services from public to private oversight reduces transparency and accountability. According to the Whitestone industry standard report, current facilities services are being offered at below standard market costs and privatization takes taxpayer money and gives it to an out-of-state company. In multiple instances previous outsourcing of housekeeping had to be brought back in-house after it led to high turnover and poor quality work. Finally, thousands of workers could lose their jobs or have their benefits cut from privatization alone.

UCW is awaiting the November results of an independent review of whether Gov. Haslam’s claimed cost savings are accurate. Even if the audit results don’t stop the privatization process, there is another opportunity for campuses to decide whether or not to participate in the outsourcing. We hope whoever the new Chancellor is, he or she will preserve high-quality campus services by not opting in to Haslam’s outsourcing.

GRADING THE VOLS Sports Editor, Trenton Duffer, covered the UT-Appalachian State matchup and assessed grades based on Thursday night’s performance.

Quarterback C-

Josh Dobbs played decent, but he didn’t air the ball out as much as he could have. Dobbs finished 16-of-29 passing with 192 yards with 67 of those yards coming from a touchdown pass to Josh Malone. Dobbs also threw an ugly interception in the first half while driving down the field. The Vols were trailing 13-3 at the time of the interception. Despite all this, Dobbs did dive to the end zone to get the winning score in overtime, but he fumbled the ball which was then landed on by Jalen Hurd.

Running Backs BWide Receivers C+ Offensive Line F Defensive Line C-

The Vols’ running backs were good during Thursday’s game. Good, not great. Jalen Hurd was able to run over 100 yards on the ground (110 to be exact) but it’d be hard not to with the 28 carries Hurd received on Thursday. Hurd was also awarded a touchdown when he landed on Josh Dobbs’ fumble in the end zone during overtime. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara only saw six carries and picked up 21 yards on the ground.

Both running backs ran over defenders and Hurd delivered a nasty stiff arm to linebacker Caleb Fuller in the first quarter.

Vols receivers didn’t have many drops on Thursday, but there also weren’t many catches. Preston Williams and tight end Ethan Wolf had a combined nine catches for 95 yards while Josh Malone grabbed two passes for 81 yards including the Vols’ only touchdown. You can’t really blame the receivers for a down night when the quarterback doesn’t throw the ball downfield.

This was the lowest point for the Vols on Thursday. The offensive line couldn’t get hold back the Appalachian State defensive line, despite the fact that the Vols offensive line outweighed the Mountaineers defensive line by an average of 50 pounds. Coleman Thomas and other linemen spent more time on the ground than they did actually making blocks. If the offensive line plays with more power in this game, they beat App. St. by a lot more than just seven.

Throughout the offseason, this has been one of the most highly touted units on the team. All of the defensive coordinators and head coach Butch Jones have all said that the depth at the defensive line is one of the best things about this team. But the Vols didn’t have any sacks during the game despite having All-SEC defensive end Derek Barnett and junior college transfer Jonathan Kongbo on the squad. There was plenty of pressure applied from the line and there were tackles in the backfield. But quarterback Taylor Lamb was able to do too much with the ball.

See the rest of the grades online! After the first game of the season, the Vols have a 2.14 GPA.

How to beat Str8ts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These QHHG WR EH ÂżOOHG LQ ZLWK QXPEHUV WKDW complete a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are formed.
