1956 SEC Championship team to be honored Saturday Rob Harvey Asst. Sports Editor On Saturday, UT football’s 1956 SEC championship team will celebrate the 60th anniversary of their victory.

Former UT Football Head Coach (19771992) and player on the 1956 team Johnny Majors spoke about the team.

“There was nobody on that team that I

Volume 132 Issue 25

didn’t like,” Majors said. “There are 44 signed up to be at the reunion, ages 78-81.”

The 1956 team, coached by Bowden Wyatt, went 10-1 with their only loss coming in the Sugar Bowl to Baylor where they were defeated 13-7. The team held all opponents to just 75 points while the Vols scored 286 points for the season.

In the ‘56 season, Majors, on the Vols offense, threw just 59 passes on the season, completing 36 of them for five touchdowns.

This stands in contrast to today’s college foot-

ball environment, where Georgia freshman quarterback Jacob Eason threw 55 passes in just one game this season.

Majors was voted SEC Player of the Year in 1956 as well as earning a unanimous spot on the All-American team.

He finished in second place for the Heisman, losing to Notre Dame’s Paul Hornung, whose team went 2-8 on the year. In the 80 years that the Heisman has been awarded, 1956 was the only year a player on a losing team won the award.

“Paul Hornung was a senior my senior year,” Majors said. “They were 2-8 and we were 10-0 at the time. He won the Heisman and I came in second in what was the closest vote in history at the time. He’s a very deserving, great player.”

Tennessee Sports Information Director Gus Manning has worked at UT since 1951 and was in his sixth year as Sports Information Director during the 1956 season.

UTK Professor part of NASA launch team In order to garner more data on asteroids and the early stages of our solar system, NASA recruited UT’s own Joshua Emery, an associate professor of planetary science. Emery has been helping NASA since the early stages of the project in 2010.

He developed the goals and measurement requirements for the spacecraft’s year long journey to find and sample the asteroid Bennu. The mission, OSIRIS-REx, is the first the US has conducted to collect a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth.

The spacecraft will return with samples in August 2018 and NASA hopes it will help scientists better understand the early solar system, since, as Emery said, “Asteroids ... are windows into the past — the time when the planets were first forming.”

Harry Potter’s ‘Privet Drive’ home could be yours The house on Privet Drive is now up for sale. If you have about six hundred thousand dollars. Number 12 Privet Drive, technically 12 Picket Post Close, is up for sale again. The three bedroom home situated in Bracknell, Berkshire, was used for the Harry Potter franchise that began in 2001 and ended with the eighth film in 2011. Although, it has only been on the market for under a week, interest in the house is great. Paul Bosanko, the real estate agent, said that even without mentioning the Harry Potter connection, there is a lot of hype. The listing price is currently at £475,000 (616,592.63 USD).

Hiker finishes Appalachian Trail hike in record time Endurance athlete Karl Meltzer spent 45 days, 22 hours and 38 minutes on the Appalachian Trail before finishing on Sept.

18. Meltzer speed hiked a record 2,200 miles in just under 46 days, 10 hours less than the previous record speed hiker did on the trail in 2015. He hiked from 5 a.m.-7 or 9 p.m. most days before being picked up by a van to sleep and eat for the night. Accompanied by his father, wife and other runners occasionally on the trail, in total Meltzer logged almost 4.2 million steps, with an average of 92,300 steps daily.

Overall Meltzer burned about 345,100 calories, averaging about 7,500 per day, which he normally supplemented with burgers, beer and ice cream.

OIT to fix campus-wide clicker problems Alexander Holcomb Contributor Clickers are not clicking with students this semester. Students have had to deal with replacing outdated models, a new learning management system, a transition to a new clicker system and overall confusion.

The switch from Blackboard to Canvas caused one major issue in the clicker systems. Since clickers have to be registered with a learning management system (LMS) and are usually only used with one, clickers were not prepared to be used with two systems.

“The clicker system by default recognized an LMS, and once you were registered in one, it wasn’t planning on a second one being there,” Joel Reeves, assistant vice chancellor and chief information officer, said. “We’ve talked with the clicker vendor, and they understand that’s a problem on their end, and they’re working very hard to make that as compatible as possible.”

There has been work done to fix the problems by OIT and Turning Technologies, the company behind the clicker systems. Jean Derco, executive director of OIT support, knows the issues that faculty has dealt with in

recording grades.

“It (student clicker) was collecting those responses with the faculties in their database that they have,” Derco said. “But when they went to upload that list to the grade center in either Blackboard or Canvas, it looked like they didn’t take the quiz, so that’s now corrected with this fix too.”

Starting with the fall semester, older models of clickers were outdated and students with those models had to buy and register new clickers.

“I think it was just the first two models, and they’re just not compatible just like at some point your computer doesn’t take new software. A lot of the older models still worked,” Derco said.

OIT is taking some blame for problems with the implementation of the new clicker system. Clickers went through a round of testing before being implemented this semester, but the problems were not expected.

“We take some responsibility,” Reeves said. “We’ve probably tested clickers with Canvas and tested them with Blackboard. I don’t know if we tested them with both.”

There was talk that a clicker exchange would happen for the older models, but it never happened because a rebate option was implemented instead, and

students could still use old models.

Turning Technologies isn’t the only service available to universities for clickers and UT does not have a contract that binds them to the company.

“A committee reviews the options (including cost to the student) and picks the best solution and then that solution becomes the supported version. If there is a change in vendors, we require a change program to made available,” Reeves said.

Students were also required to purchase a license to use TurningPoint software, as part of a transition to TurningPoint Cloud, which provides cloud-based services. Turning Technologies has told the Clicker Technology Advisory Committee in an email that they will give a free license for six months to all UT students.

The problems were expected due to the amount of time UT has been using clickers in the same system. Even so, OIT does not take the issues lightly and is working to fix them.

“Anytime you change out a system that touches this many people, it’s evolved its own ecosystem and things around it, so you’re always going to have issues pop up,” Reeves said. “Our goal is to identify them and identify the resolution as quickly as possible.”

Secrets exposed on Tennessee campus during PostSecret Live Mary Beth McCauley Contributor Knoxville had the opportunity to share some secrets Tuesday, Sept. 20, when Frank Warren, the creator of the PostSecret Project, visited the University of Tennessee as a part of the PostSecret Live tour.

PostSecret is a collaborative photo project that first began in 2005 as an experiment, but has now become an international online community. Individuals from around the globe write secrets and personal confessions on postcards and mail them to Warren’s house in Germantown, Maryland.

Selected secrets are then posted on the website, published in books or displayed in museum exhibits.

The auditorium was filled almost to capacity and attendees were conversing with one another as Warren entered the stage, warmly greeting audience members.

“Frank is like a ray of sunshine when he walks into a room. He is so full of warmth and he was so welcoming,” Amanda Alarcon, a UT graduate student, said.

“Being there, it felt like we all knew each other. People traveled from Nashville to see this event because PostSecret has

touched so many lives. We are all one big community.”

Warren began the evening explaining the purpose of PostSecret, discussing the attention it has gathered since its creation and the effects that this project has had on the people who participate.

He has been called “the most trusted stranger in America,” for good reason — millions of people have anonymously shared secrets with Warren over the years.

He read some examples, shared some heartwarming and heartbreaking stories and ultimately took the audience on an emotional journey.

What he thought would be a small side project has now allowed millions of individuals across the world to open up to someone, share what they’ve been hiding or holding back and participate in a community that is there to support them and lift them up.

The latter part of the event was spent allowing attendees to share secrets of their own; microphones were set up on each side of the auditorium so individuals could come up and share whatever they wanted.

There was an understanding that what was said in the auditorium stayed there, so the audience could share their secrets safely.

It didn’t take long for volunteers to begin coming forward, eager to share with members of their community.

Some confessions were funny, inciting laughter throughout the auditorium and bringing smiles to the faces of the crowd.

However, many secrets were heavy. Silence fell upon the room as these secrets were shared. The connection amongst the audience clear during these moments as pain, hurt and sadness from the speakers were shared.

“We all laughed together and cried together as those secrets were being shared. Some secrets made all of our hearts break. Everyone who came forward was so incredibly brave,” Alarcon said.

After the show, attendees were able to meet, chat and take photos with Frank Warren as well as purchase PostSecret books, the most recent being “The World of PostSecret.” Another one of Warren’s books entitled “Confessions on Life, Death, and God” was a No. 1 New York Times Bestseller when it was first published in 2009. Overall, this event was thought-provoking, cathartic and incredibly touching.

Rethinking the dating game Peter Cates For Pete’s Sake

Well we’ve all done it, thought about doing it or at least know someone who has done it: I got a Tinder. I had used it before, but very sparsely and almost exclusively while traveling. Overall, my view of Tinder was very “meh.”

But like many college students, I like going out, I’m looking to meet new people and who knows, maybe date someone. I mean it has been a hot minute since I’ve really gone out with anyone (and by a hot minute, I mean a lot of minutes). Besides, I’m not really sure how people meet potential dates if my friends don’t have any good suggestions, and they aren’t into the bar scene. Plus, I’m absolutely horrified at the idea of giving some random person my number at a coffee shop. So I figured why not.

I decided to do it a little differently than the stereotype of quickly playing “hot or not” and seeing who you can get back to your apartment as quickly as possible. I decided I would try to have some sort of genuine conversation with as many people as possible. That meant taking my time when swiping, reading the profile and really looking to see if we could get along. That also meant asking better questions and taking the time to write out better responses.

So what happened? Well, I talked to a lot of people, most of whom ended up not striking me in

And if I’m lucky, I might even get a couple of second dates. For me, Tinder opens up a dating pool that I had no time or desire (read: courage) to go out and pursue before.”

a way that made me want to go out with them. But, on the other hand, I’ve also gone on a few dates, and I finally feel out there in a way that I felt like I had been missing. And if I’m lucky, I might even get a couple of second dates. For me, Tinder opens

What’s sustainability really good for?

Don Black Margin of Error

Floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is an island of trash that’s, quite conservatively, estimated to be the size of the state of Texas. It’s called the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” and it’s filled to the brink with empty Gatorade bottles and shredded plastic bags. While most of the trash in it is plastic, none of the animals realize that, which eventually harms the 44 percent of seabirds who mistakenly eat that plastic and more than 260 species of marine life.

Of course, this problem isn’t limited to the Pacific Ocean. Both our oceans and our landfills collect trash like teenage me collected baseball cards, serving as a not so carefully curated museum for what we’ve used and tossed. In fact, pretty much everything that I’ve ever used — the baseball glove I bought but never tried on, all of the equipment I purchased from that time I got really into playing the harmonica — is somewhere, costing resources, like fossil fuels, to make, ship and store.

The unfortunate, and sometimes scary, reality is that all of the things we use can negatively impact us in ways that we have never considered. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but one day, and for the rest of our lives.

Consider the plastic bag. Let’s say that you’ve had a long day and you decide to go to Kroger, Publix or wherever you choose to buy your bread, and just want to pick up a few things. You get to the checkout line

and of course realize that you can’t carry everything yourself, so you grab a couple plastic bags to help you out. Seems harmless enough, right? Well, maybe not.

What if I told you that most plastic bags aren’t recycled and are just thrown away, left to hang out in the ocean, our landfills or floating around our cities like a modern day tumbleweed? Or that plastic bags cost billions of dollar every year to make and to clean up, as well as millions of barrels of oil? What about if you knew that plastic bags never biodegrade, instead just breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces while also releasing harmful chemicals in the process?

Maybe that all sounds really trivial to you or really complicated, but it’s still really important. In America, or at least here in Knoxville, it seems like every month is the new hottest month on record and some places globally are already feeling the effects of climate change, whether it’s due to rising sea levels, melting glaciers or the spread of disease. While it may not feel like that one plastic bag you took really impacted the survival of the island of Maldives, it really can.

But let me digress here, because I don’t mean to suggest that climate change is the only reason that you should recycle or be more sustainable. While it is a potent motivator for a lot of people, for others, there is a different incentive attached entirely: money.

Here’s a good example. While the University of Tennessee switching from burning coal to burning

OPINIONS up a dating pool that I had no time or desire (read: courage) to go out and pursue before.

Modern dating is weird. I’m pretty sure my grandparents never had to regulate how many emojis they would use in a string of texts — my general rule is averaging one every four texts, but I’m open to advice on that (send me an email) — and I’m fairly certain my parents couldn’t create a very strong bio section that finds the balance between funny and interesting. But in our own way we’ve all swiped left and right on different people (whether at bars, coffee shops or classes) and figured out who were our best matches. So I’m taking it in stride.

My advice to you, eager and potentially single reader, is this: whatever mode of dating you choose, treat others like real people and you’ll have better results. Because at the end of the day, everyone wants to be respected and everybody wants to be appreciated for who they are. Maybe you’ll have luck like I’ve had.

All that is to say, if you want to date me (despite my painfully bad Beacon photo), find me on Tinder.

natural gas prevented a lot of harmful emissions, it also saved the university millions of dollars. Another example: our school has the best recycling program in the SEC, which definitely reduces the size of the landfill next door and helps fight against climate change, but it also makes the university money from reselling all that trash into treasure.

Sometimes people think that going green takes a lot of green, but as you can see from UT, the opposite is true. Even in your own life, turning off your lights when they aren’t in use, drinking more water out of a reusable bottle, upgrading light bulbs and using less air conditioning are all changes you could make that’s good for both the environment and your wallet.

And that really, to me, is the point of sustainability. It’s about living in a way that everyone else could live. Sometimes, that isn’t always glamorous, it can be gross and exhausting. It isn’t always about finally reaching the peak of that mountain or traversing a particularly dangerous white water rapid.

Sometimes it’s about the really boring, mundane, petty moments of everyday life, like turning off your lights. Sometimes it can just be about remembering to bring a reusable bag.

SOFTBALL

Softball looks to fill void left on pitchers’ mound David Bradford Staff Writer The mound at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium is clouded in mystery after the departure of two prolific Tennessee pitchers.

Gone are Erin Gabriel and Rainey Gaffin — pitchers responsible for 30 of Tennessee’s 43 wins last season. Their departures left Vols softball with a massive experience void in the rotation, with sophomore Matty Moss being the only pitcher on the roster with any SEC experience.

As a freshman last season Moss played beyond her years, going 12-5 with a teamleading 1.68 ERA. However, the transition between being just a piece of the pitching puzzle to the leading pitcher on Rocky Top carries an extra set of expectations.

Based on her maturity last season, cohead coach Karen Weekly isn’t concerned about Moss’s ability to thrive underneath heightened expectations.

“We’re very confident in Matty,” Weekly said at Ray and Lucy Hand Digital Studio on Wednesday. “She grew up a lot last year.

Especially down the stretch, Matty got the ball in some really big games for us. The key though is to not put too much pressure on Matty and make sure she doesn’t put too much pressure on herself and that she understands there’s staff all around her.”

With her in the rotation is junior Alex Brake and freshman Caylan Arnold. Brake transferred from Labette Community College, where she was awarded the JC pitcher of the year over the past two seasons.

But the bats in community college don’t

compare to the skill and athleticism SEC bats possess. Still, Weekly believes the staff’s mentality will help ease the young pitching staff into conference play.

“Even though our pitching is young and inexperienced, I really like the toughness and the mentality that these ladies have,” Weekly said. “An ‘I want the ball’ kind of mentality. None of them are afraid of the circle and the spotlight and the moment.

And as I watched each one of them … the key for all of them is that they’re competitors.”

Leadership Role Filled: The loss of Gaffin not only left Tennessee without one of the program’s most versatile players, it also meant that a new core of leaders had to be ushered in.

Gaffin’s impact on the team was so substantial that co-head coach Ralph Weekly revealed he was told during SEC meetings that if had Gaffin not suffered a seasonending injury during postseason play last spring, the Vols would’ve made it to the College World Series for the fourth time in five seasons.

Luckily for Weekly, Tennessee’s roster is littered with players worthy of a leadership role.

“The leadership position will be Megan Geer,” co-head coach Ralph Weekly said.

“She’s the senior captain on the team. We have a junior captain in Meghan Gregg and those two will have to lead. Geer’s played three or four positions since she’s been here and she can be somewhat like Rainey (Gaffin), but I’m not sure there will be another Rainey.”

Balance between Speed and Power: In 2015, Tennessee hit a program-record 100 home runs. Last season, the team

Megan Geer, #14, bats against Furman on Apr. 22, 2014. • File Photo focused more on small ball, opting on wise base-running decisions and stolen bases to put runners in scoring position. Heading into this season, the Weeklys are optimistic that this team will feature a combination of the two.

“We’re gonna have more speed than we’ve had in a long time,” Ralph Weekly said. “I think we’re gonna steal a lot of bases, but I think we’re gonna hit a lot of home runs too.”

One player the Weekly’s hope will bring a healthy dose of power to the lineup is transfer Katie Weimer. As a freshman at

Buffalo last season, Weimer belted 12 balls out the park and drove in 49 runs.

Continuity in the Infield: A reoccurring issue for the majority of last season was errors in the infield. As a result, the infield featured numerous changes before the Weeklys finally discovered a defensive lineup suited for SEC play.

For the most, Ralph Weekly is convinced heading into the fall slate that the Vols have constructed a reliable defensive lineup.

“We’re set up the middle,” Weekly said.

“There’s still a battle at first, but for the most part, we’re set.”

FOOTBALL

Hall ready to return for Vols earlier than expected Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor

The struggles for the Vols offensive line may come to an end this Saturday.

Sophomore offensive lineman Chance Hall returned to practice this week and head coach Butch Jones announced Wednesday that he will play on Saturday against Florida.

“Chance Hall is good to go,” Jones said.

“We are excited about him. It’s very, very

encouraging.”

Hall has been sidelined this season due to an arthroscopic knee surgery he was forced to undergo in mid-August. Hall, however, has beat the normal timetable for returning from this surgery and offensive coordinator Mike DeBord spoke very highly of his quick recovery.

“You have to give credit to Chance,” Debord said on Wednesday. “You have to give credit to our training staff and our strength and conditioning staff for getting him into that position where he can come out there and play like that.

“Anyone who knows Chance Hall knows he is a great young man and he is all in to football. He loves football and he studies it all the time. Its not like he left and wasn’t in meetings and watching film.

He has prepared himself.”

Hall played a vital part on the offensive line as it was decimated with injuries last season. He played in 10 games last season with seven of those being starts and was named All-SEC in 2015.

In practice, Hall has already made an impact. On Tuesday, he took a blocking sled and pushed it 15-20 yards before

throwing it into the ground.

Tight ends and special teams coach Larry Scott said what’s most impressive to him about Hall is his size.

“Chance is a huge human being,” Scott said. “His whole presence alone being back in there and seeing him being able to move the way he did has been good to see.”

As the offensive line and its rotation of players has struggled all season, adding Hall back in the lineup could make a difference

LADY VOLS BASKETBALL

Lady Vols SEC schedule released Staff Report

The Southeastern Conference has released Tennessee’s women’s basketball SEC schedule, giving Lady Vols fans a complete perspective of what matchups are to come.

Holly Warlick’s squad, who finished 22-18 overall and 8-8 in conference play last year, looks to improve from their worst conference finish since the inauguration of the Women’s NCAA tournament.

The Lady Vols will host No. 12 Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, LSU, No.19 Missouri, Texas A&M and No. 17 Florida at home this season after starting off with their earliest home opener since 1997 — a New Years Day matchup against No. 13 Kentucky.

Tennessee’s conference road games include Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Auburn, No. 17 Florida, Georgia, Alabama and No. 12 Mississippi State but are headlined by a Jan. 30 meeting with the No. 3 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks.

1956 TEAM continued from Page 1 “They were a great bunch of guys, that team,�

Manning said. “They played hard. Of course we had Coach Bowden Wyatt. He was unbelievable.

The Gamecocks are one of five Tennessee opponents that begin the season ranked in top 10, along with No. 10 Stanford, No. 6 Texas, No. 5 Baylor and the top ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who the Lady Vols play host to on Jan. 16.

Senior Jordan Reynolds and junior Diamond DeShields look to step up their play this season as the Lady Vols backcourt has taken a hit in the offseason, losing senior captain Andraya Carter to retirement and last season’s freshman sensation Te’a Cooper to an injury.

The Lady Vols have two new transfers — Schaquilla Nunn, a senior from Winthrop and Cheridene Green, a junior from ASA College — as well as freshman Kamera Harris on their 2016-2017 roster.

The SEC Tournament will take place in Greenville, South Carolina on March 1 5, 2017.

The Lady Vols will play an exhibition game against Carson-Newman on Nov. 7 in Thompson- Boling Arena and officially start the season at James Madison on Nov. 11.

He was a tremendous guy. He got us going right to begin with.�

Manning has attended every home game since 1945, and this year’s Appalachian State home opener marked his 71st consecutive game.

Both Majors and Manning joked around with each other at a press conference Wednesday, recalling memories ranging from Majors’ fumble

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.
