UT students participate in startup day activities Priya Narapareddy Staff Writer

Excitement was in the air Thursday afternoon, Sept. 6, as local entrepreneurs competed in the Knoxville Startup Day. UT students in Introduction to Entrepreneurship saw the lessons they learned in class live on stage during the fourth annual Startup Day. Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero said more than 1,000 people participated in the events of Startup Day, and Innov 865 week, which was held from Sept. 19-Sept. 23.

“You can feel the buzz in the air,” Rogero said.

“This is an exciting time for Knoxville.”

Startup Day was rebranded this year as part of a week long series of Knoxville area events focused on entrepreneurial education. The event was held at the Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville. It featured a pitch competition with six area entrepreneurs, presentation of the Traction Award to a former pitch competition participant as well as entrepreneur and investor Paul Singh.

The winner of the 2016 pitch competition was Graham Taylor of T&T Scientific. Taylor, the co-founder of T&T Scientific, was presented with a $5,000 cash prize from Three Roots

Capital and SouthEast Bank. Bob Bradley of NewsBreak was the winner of the Traction Award. Bradley, the president and CEO of NewsBreak, presented his power pitch on Startup Day 2014.

Entrepreneurs were given a few minutes to present their “power pitches” to the judges, who are investors. Participants also included Alicia Caputo of Aviro Analytics, Dimitriy Petrov of RushBrush, Daniel Lawhon of AirFlare, John Crawford of Hot Transfer Network and Eva Mutunga of TechSmarrt.

Judges included David Keriakes of River Cities Capital Funds, Sue Malone of Strategies for Small Businesses and Tony Shipley of Queen City Angels.

Singh, of Results Junkies, is currently touring the country. He walked onstage in an orange Tennessee shirt Thursday to show his support for the Knoxville community. Singh encouraged entrepreneurs who want to succeed today to communicate in a way that commands attention.

“Who does power belong to today?” Singh asked the audience. “People who understand that we live in an attention economy.”

Students in the entrepreneurship 350 class said they have learned about many of the same concepts featured during Innov865 week,

including public speaking and how to pitch business ideas.

Brandis Woods, a junior business management major, is a student in the class this semester. Woods, who helped check attendees in, said she looks forward to returning to Startup Day next year and possibly participating in the future.

“I definitely think (the pitch competition) is a good platform to get up-and-coming entrepreneurs on their feet,” she said.

Woods said she hopes to work in management, then to transition into entrepreneurship.

She said her whole class participated by attending Startup Day. Students in the class are required to complete a “feasibility project.” She said the project involves determining whether a product is feasible and whether it can be marketed well.

Slade Hurst, junior in supply chain management, said his feasibility project was based on a home inspection app.

Hurst, who hopes to invest in real estate in the future, described the app as a “digital checklist” that would help identify issues such as water damage through an online forum.

“It is a really great class,” he said. “Especially if you have business ideas that you want to act on.”

Student assaulted near Laurel Residence Hall Chris Salvemini

Asst. News Editor

In the early morning of Friday, Sept. 23, UT student Jacob Carpenter was assaulted on the corner of Laurel Avenue and 17th St. He was walking back to his residence hall after visiting a friend in Laurel Apartments.

Carpenter has been unable to identify his attacker(s), but he saw one man push him to ground from his left side. He was then beaten, and he blocked his face as the assailant(s) targeted it.

“I had headphones in, so I didn’t hear anybody, I had no idea where they came from,” Carpenter said. “Someone just started throwing fists, and (I) blocked my face and closed my eyes instinctively. It was pretty fast, thank God. They were already gone by the time I could stand up and look around.”

Two witnesses saw the assault and called the police. The Knoxville Police Department responded and took a report, but the assailant(s) fled before they arrived.

“We didn’t have much information… the two girls say they saw three guys on top of me, and I only saw one,” Carpenter said. “They said it was three white males.”

Carpenter refused medical treatment at the

I had headphones in, so I didn’t hear anybody, I had no idea where they came from. Someone just started throwing fists, and (I) blocked my face and closed my eyes instinctively.”

Jacob Carpenter, Sophomore in Biology scene, despite KPD offering an ambulance.

“I thought I would be fine. I got back to my room and looked at my face and the scratches were pretty bad, so I decided maybe I should go to the hospital,” Carpenter said.

A friend took Carpenter to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center where they first checked if he had a concussion. After determining he did not, they glued a scratch near his eye

to prevent scarring and cleaned cuts on his ears and neck.

“I was there until 5 a.m., so I got back to my room super late and finally went to sleep, went to class the next day…,” Carpenter said. “One of my classes I missed an assignment for because I was going to do it that night.”

Darrell DeBusk, the KPD Public Information Officer, said the assailant(s) have not been found. A definite motive for the assault has not been determined. Nothing was taken from Carpenter during the event, so it is not being cited as a robbery.

“I do fit how people frequently imagine the homosexual male stereotype … if that was the motive, they would have suspected that I’m gay.

But if that wasn’t it, it could have just been completely random,” Carpenter said. “It was ‘thirsty Thursday’ so there were a lot of parties nearby, so it could have just been drunk people being rowdy or something.”

A time for reflection on the incident was held at the Pride Center on Friday, attended by Dean of Students Melissa Shivers and Assistant Dean of Students and liaison for the Pride Center Danny Glassmann.

Anyone with information should contact KPD at (865) 215-7000.

If you need help, get help

Brandie McConkey

Life as a UT Student

On Thursday evening of this week, my phone began to vibrate with an incoming call from home.

I answered the call and heard my mother’s voice on the other end. From the way she was speaking I could tell she was upset. Mom asked if I had seen the news that day, and I said, “Not since lunch, why?”

My mom then told me not to worry when I saw the news report that she was home safe and sound.

As my mom was hanging up the phone, I was already looking at WBIR’s home page. That is when I found out that a shooting had taken place at Thomas and Betts that afternoon; this is where my mom works. On Friday, Sept. 23, I went home to run some errands and see how my mom was holding up.

Dad and I caught some alone time and I said, “I bet the company will have some support people around for a few days since two employees lost their lives.” My dad was doubtful of the idea and said the company will probably reopen with more security in place to prevent such event from happening again.

This made me think why wouldn’t the company reopen with grief counselors on site for the next few days. I did not ponder the thought much, but moved on with my day. Then, Saturday, Sept. 24, as I was reading the news headlines, I saw where another shooting had taken place in a mall. Nearly every day now you can find a shooting somewhere in the U.S. making the news headline.

I am not here to talk about gun laws or the politics

involved but, rather, pose this idea: what if more people sought help in times of need and distress?

Currently there is an unspoken stigma regarding the mental health field. From my view, the stigma is that people who struggle with emotional or mental illnesses are crazy. Crazy is the word we, as a society, still use to describe those who are seeking help for such illnesses.

If you get sick, you go to the doctor. The same is true for those struggling with mental illness. Crazy is a word that should no longer be used to stereotype those seeking treatment. Treatment can mean many different things to many people. I use the word treatment even to describe those who are in counseling.

During the spring of my sophomore year, I went through a bout of depression and ended up going to counseling myself. Counseling did not make me crazy. Taking medication for a psychological disorder or seeking any form of treatment does not mean you are crazy.

Which leads me back to my original point, what if people sought help when they needed it? I mean, think about it, how many emotionally stable people go around waving a gun in their hand? Not many, to my knowledge.

What if more businesses in today’s world offered support groups for their employees like counseling services or complaint groups to hear the people’s opinion? Would more or less people be waving guns

around to solve their problems? I do not know. I do not have an answer to the problem at hand; I am simply throwing around ideas.

Until we, as a society, can figure out how to provide help to those who could benefit from such services in local businesses, we must learn to take care of ourselves. Each individual contributes to society and together we make up the United States.

If one person falls, we all fall. Let us take steps now to prevent those falls from occurring. We can do that very thing by simply seeking out the help we need while we still have access to it.

As a UT student you have access to tons of free resources such as the Student Counseling Center, Center for Career Development and many religious organizations. No matter what the problem is, I am confident there is someone on campus who can help you out.

There is no shame or judgement coming from me about seeking out help for emotional distress.

Shame and judgement comes from those who are too afraid to admit that they too could use some help.

Looking at God through a new perspective

Hancen Sale

As it stands

I remember quite clearly the thoughts that would raid my mind: God is in control, God is watching and God is listening. It felt real, sublime. But since then, since I was a young boy, I have honed my thoughts. I don’t pray for forgiveness or a special treat every now and then. It’s a different storyline, a whole new perspective. However, I will never forget how I used to understand God. I grew up in a Christian home. The bible was taught explicitly, and the wrath with which we would encounter if we strayed from the holy path was intricately illustrated. Growing up that way, it’s almost like I wound up being profoundly afraid. To this day, I still carry the baggage of the childhood imagination which conjured up my high-power, wrathful God. This God is still real in many ways. The megachurches, the biblical literalists and Mike Huckabee; they all answer to the God on high. They all call vengeance and wrath upon the unfaithful, the democrats, the God-forsaken homosexuals and all those crazy heretics.

There’s a clear destination — heaven and hell — where all humans will find themselves in the end.

The educated and competent Christians are going to walk through those mighty gates, which shield the fields of gold that lay behind. All the pain

of fear will slip away as they follow the river, clear as crystal, to the throne of God where Jesus resides.

It’s beautiful there, but perhaps lonely, since all the others are brushed aside and consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Forgotten as they are, they will weep and pray. This is hell, where the Godforsaken will stay.

Forget Gandhi, the Muslims and the Jews. God only harbors the pure, those who heard a specific thing in a specific place at a specific time.

Only those whose parents taught them, when they were young, the sacred path to eternal life will find themselves in front of heaven’s pearly gates. All the others are merely sheep without a shepherd, lost dogs out in the rain.

I remember feeling cozy in my bed. My mom would play along as I would illustrate, with boundless childhood imagination, the heaven I would someday come to. I spoke confidently about my place in the world, but I knew I would someday find myself susceptible. I was afraid of reality, that I would someday become that broken, dusty figure which Christians find in themselves a such desperate need to clean off.

No wonder we find ourselves so politically divided. Only some of us are actually living; only some of us are bound for a heavenly stay. Even so, if we

To this day, I still carry the baggage of the childhood imagination which conjured up my highpower, wrathful God.” somehow find that we made it to the promise land, is it still heaven without our best friend, mother, father or love? Is it really heaven if even one person we love isn’t there?

So now, today, I cry ‘oh God, rid us of God’ — at least that God, anyway.

Mixtape Monday Anu Kumar

Staff Writer Working out regularly is a great habit, but hard to get into and keep doing. However, it doesn’t have to be a chore when you’ve got great music accompanying you.

No weights? No problem.

“Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams” – 30 Seconds to Mars This is the fourth studio album released in 2013, so it’s just a few years old, but the music is timeless to keep your energy up. This album is different from 30 Seconds to Mars’ previous work as it features more musical content and structure overall. The band also changed how they added vocal tracks during their event “The Summit”— which involved inviting fans to sing and contribute vocal lines to their music. In their previous album, “This is War,” full audi-

ences were recorded. However, in this album only 20 to 25 were recorded in an attempt to keep the music more intimate and organic. It’s also a concept album, diving the songs into the four categories that are in the album title.

The album still contains aspects of their sound from previous albums, but it’s very evident that 30 Seconds to Mars was moving in a new direction. The lyrics still have about the same emotional value, but each track seems to be its own soundtrack to a movie rather than a short two to three minute song. Some songs feature the generic “rock band instrumental” style, a few feature low brass and some feature high and midrange strings. The album overall is diverse with its instrumentation and voicing, and is executed well. Most of the songs are upbeat and consistent, leaving no room to slack on the message of the song or your workout.

A personal favorite from this album is definitely “Conquistador.” The emphasis on low brass adds to the power of this song, giving it a very anthemic vibe. Put this in your playlist in the hardest section of your workout to give you a second shot of energy. The vocal lines are smooth, but still very deliberate.

Rating: 8/10 Dance your heart out.

“Born This Way” – Lady Gaga Before her toned down wardrobe, Lady Gaga’s performances were as memorable as her music. “Born This Way” has a number of songs in different spheres of pop that are enough to get anyone dancing. It’s her second studio album, following the paramount success of “The Fame Monster.” Her underlying style is dance-pop, but the album incorporates more style influ-

ences from other genres as well as experimentations with other instruments.

This album itself is an anthem. Gaga’s vocals accompanied with electronic synth backbeats make for a great dance track either at the gym or a party. Some songs are stark contrasts from each other, such as “Judas” and “You and I.” The common theme in this album is self empowerment. Her musical influences also range from Whitney Houston to Bruce Springsteen to Madonna, so it’s no wonder that this album has so many different voices packaged into one.

Some favorites are likely to be “Born This Way,” “Judas” and “Marry The Night.” All three songs have different overall sounds, but they all share similar composition aspects. Vocals are very powerful throughout, and they convey much emotion, making them perfect for dancing to let off steam or as an inspiration for a competition routine.

Rating: 7/10

Training for that 5K? “Skyfall” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – Thomas Newman This one is a bit different than some of the others in that it’s a movie soundtrack rather

than a contemporary album. Long runs don’t have to seem overly boring when you can envision yourself as an international spy. Even if you haven’t seen the movie or its predecessors, this soundtrack will not be a disappointment.

Instrumentation includes a full symphonic orchestra with some electronic synth voices for special effects. Unlike most of the other Bond films where the title song is included, “Skyfall”

by Adele is not present on the soundtrack.

However, in the track “Komodo Dragon,” a tangent of the song appears. The “Bond Theme” is also not present in the soundtrack, but several arrangements of it are scattered throughout the soundtrack itself.

While all of the songs on this soundtrack are great, not all of them are suited for long distance like the short, mellow compositions.

If you’re looking for lots of variety, keep this soundtrack on shuffle. However, if you’re looking for more upbeat tracks, don’t include “The Moors,” “Deep Water,” “Mother” or “Voluntary Retirement.” Once your run is over, enjoy a well deserved meal and watch the movie if you haven’t already (or even if you have).

Rating: 8/10

MCRX review: The five of us are dying (and so are we) Presley Smith

Opinions Editor On Friday, Sept. 23, 2016, all current and former “emo” kids’ dreams came true.

Sort of.

My Chemical Romance, after their breakup in March 2013, finally released new music.

Again, sort of.

They released “Welcome to the Black Parade: Anniversary edition/Living with Ghosts.”

The album consists of all the songs originally released on the classic Black Parade album, plus unreleased demos and rough mixes. However, all of the “new” material was recorded in the early stages of creating the “Black Parade” album.

I’d like to start out by describing the reaction to the announcement of this album. For start-

ers, My Chemical Romance’s official twitter not only deleted “2001-2013” from their bio, but also released a mysterious video consisting of the white MCRX (10th anniversary) flying and the piano entrance to “Welcome to the Black Parade” followed by “9.23.16.”

Fans went wild, myself included.

Rumors of a reunion started faster than you could say “Helena,” but the twitter page soon released a notice explaining that the band was not getting back together (cue thousands of tears), but instead were releasing an anniversary edition of the Black Parade, complete with merch that can still be found at Hot Topic.

Of course, without hesitation, I ordered two t-shirts, the vinyl record, the flag and the CD. I couldn’t help myself.

And so, when UPS delivered the package, I had no choice but to dive right in.

When it comes to the original songs found on

the Black Parade album from 2006, nothing has changed. However, the unreleased demos and rough mixes are something that require your full attention.

My personal favorite,”The Five of Us Are Dying,” starts out with a soft melody, but quickly transitions into a mix of all your favorite “Black Parade” songs. Long story short, the song is the early version of what would become “Welcome to the Black Parade.”

That is truly the premise for this album. It’s a combination of live demos and early versions of almost every song on the original album. And I’m not going to lie, it’s completely amazing.

These early recordings are accompanied by “Emily,” a song that gives each fan insight into how this album came to be. Midway through “Emily,” a lyric stood out, and I realized that this lyric alone defined everything that the Black Parade was about.

5

“Sometimes we do the things we need to do to survive.”

That’s what this album is all about. With “Famous Last Words” message in the lyric “I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone,” that meaning is again apparent, which shows how the numerous demos truly brought the album together.

All in all, this gives any My Chemical Romance fan a behind the scenes peek at every aspect of the beloved “Black Parade.”

Am I disappointed that my teenage self’s favorite band is not getting back together?

Absolutely. But this album makes the heartbreak a little softer. It takes me back to those times that I blared “Famous last Words” and “House of Wolves” and sang my heart out. The album is an essential for any new or old fan of My Chemical Romance.

So long and goodnight.

Vols offense explodes in second half, leads to victory Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor With the offense failing to eclipse 200 total yards in the first half and the team trailing 21-3, there didn’t seem to be much hope for the Tennessee football team.

Roughly two hours later, the Tennessee football team was racing to the student section after outscoring the Florida Gators 35-7 in the second half on their way to a 38-28 victory. “The second half is a whole new ball game,�

Alvin Kamara said after the Vols win. “I told

Dobbs we were one play away and that we’ve got to put a score up, it’s game time.�

The Vols offense made multiple big plays during that second half, which was sparked by senior quarterback Josh Dobbs.

Dobbs ended the game with 319 passing yards and four passing touchdowns along with one rushing touchdown. In the second half alone, Dobbs had 235 passing yards and five total touchdowns.

Head coach Butch Jones said that Dobbs cool demeanor was one of the reasons for this outbreak. “That’s what you want,� Jones said. “At the quarterback position, you want a flat lined play-

Ethan Wolf, #82, scores a touchdown against Florida on Sep. 24, 2016.

Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon er. You don’t want the ebbs and the flows and the peaks and the valleys. You want someone who is very consistent in his approach. That’s Joshua Dobbs, he’s very consistent in his approach.

He’s very calm. He’s very collected. Our team feeds off of that.�

Dobbs wasn’t given much help in the first half, as the Vols wide receivers dropped multiple passes, including a ball in the end zone intended for senior tight end Jason Croom.

FOOTBALL

Vols snap streak over Gators in 38-28 win Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor The first half of Saturday’s, Sept. 24, game looked like the past 11 years – Florida smothering the Vols in every aspect of the game.

But after a flurry of big plays and a massive overhaul of yards in the second half, the Vols scored 38 unanswered points and went on to win 38-28.

The Gators’ 11 year winning streak is over.

“I think it’s pretty obvious, I’m really proud of our players and the resolve that they showed tonight,” head coach Butch Jones said after the game. “(We) came out in the second half and I knew this football team wasn’t going to be denied. I knew it at the hotel. I knew it today. There was just a sense of calmness and confidence.”

Jim McElwain’s decision to receive the opening kickoff after the Gators won the toss paid off handsomely when backup quarterback Austin Appleby, who was starting in place of Luke Del Rio, connected with

NOTEBOOK continued from Page 6 are going to happen but we come out, come back, and make a play,” Dobbs said. “We know that each individual who dropped a ball in the first half, came back and made a spectacular play in the second half.”

Junior Josh Malone continued his impressive season as he ended with 91 receiving yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came on a 42-yard third down slant pass early in the fourth quarter that increased the lead to 10.

“What can I say about Josh Malone,” Coach

his tight end DeAndre Goolsby for a 3-yard touchdown.

But then, a sliver of hope appeared in the form of a wheel route by Jalen Hurd. Hurd ran up the middle and caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Joshua Dobbs.

This score helped dig the Vols out of the 21-3 hole they found themselves in after halftime.

21-10.

“We were shooting ourselves in the foot the whole first half and even on that first drive, whether it was bad ball location on my part or not making catches,” Dobbs said. “We just have to execute, play our brand of football.

Once we start executing, that’s when the success came.”

But there was still work to be done.

With a little over a minute left in the third quarter, Dobbs dropped back and found tight end Ethan Wolf streaking towards the end zone. Wolf had dropped two non-excusable, wide-open passes already that night, but the senior extended his reach and caught the ball with his fingertips.

21-17. “(We) just kept fighting, we know that we

train. You know how hard we train,” freshman receiver Tyler Byrd said. “We know that we can make the plays that are necessary to help us win, to help propel us to the next level.”

Suddenly, it happened. A 67-yard breakaway touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings early in the fourth quarter gave the Vols the lead they had been desperately searching for.

24-21 Vols.

Tennessee tacked on two more touchdowns before the game ended – a 42-yard touchdown to Josh Malone and a 4-yard run by Dobbs.

Florida tacked on a score with 4:17 left in the game, but it was all for naught.

The Vols broke the streak.

“Obviously, that was very disappointing,” McElwain said after the game about his players guaranteeing a win. “I hope they (the team) learn a big lesson. In life, there are a lot of good things in being humble. As I said, back it up. They didn’t back it up. This might be a lesson.”

Dobbs finished with 319 yards on 16 of 32 passing and four touchdowns. It’s the first four passing touchdowns in a single game for a Vol quarterback since Tyler Bray did it

against Kentucky in 2012. Dobbs also had two interceptions.

Entering the game, Florida hadn’t allowed a passing touchdown all season.

“We do have to get better in short-yardage,” Jones said. “But I’m not going to let anything take us away from this great victory tonight.”

After a slow start to the season, Derek Barnett wrecked the Gators offensive line, sacking Appleby three times.

Meanwhile, Appleby finished 23 of 39 passing for 296 yards and three touchdowns with a pick. Wide receiver Antonio Callaway burnt the Vols for 134 yards on four catches.

“When you’ve got Kyler Kerbyson in our locker room after the game crying and saying thank you to me, that’s what it’s all about,” Jones said. “Again, it’s just one game. We’re going to be challenged again next week. I’m happy for our fan base. I’m happy for our administration. I’m happy for everyone, and I love our players, so I’m happy for them (as well).”

“Again, it’s just one game.”

But that one game may have jump-started the Vols for the rest of the season.

Butch Jones said. “Josh Malone has been a mile of consistency.”

Linebackers step up: Jalen Reeves-Maybin started the game on Saturday for the Vols despite suffering a strained shoulder in last Saturday’s game, but was forced to come out early on. He returned for a few plays early in the second half but was then forced to be taken out for the remainder of the game.

Because of this, backups such as Colton Jumper, Cortez McDowell, Dillon Bates and Gavin Bryant were forced to step up.

And they did.

Jumper seemed to be all over the ball in the second half, finishing the game as the team’s

leading tackler with eight.

McDowell played most of the second half after playing sparingly in the first half and recorded six tackles, including two for a loss.

“I think Cortez and Bates (Dillon) did a great job stepping up behind me,” ReevesMaybin said. “I thought Jumper played great at MIKE (linebacker). Gavin Bryant got in for a couple of plays and affected the ball game.

Everyone came in and held it down.”

With depth already thin as Reeves-Maybin, Darrin Kirkland Jr. and Quarte Sapp are all injured, the linebackers will need to continue to step up as the Vols enter a tough three-week stretch. Sapp has been lost for the year while Kirkland’s condition has yet to be determined.

Up Next: The Vols head to Athens, Georgia next weekend, Oct. 1, as they take on the Georgia Bulldogs (3-1). The Bulldogs are coming off of a defeat on the road to Ole Miss where they were throttled 45-14.

For the Vols, they will look immediately to Georgia.

“I think our team is focused,” junior Todd Kelly Jr. said. “It’s all about one game and one play at a time. We’re gonna enjoy the win but at the end of the day tomorrow we know we have the Georgia Bulldogs so we are going to be really focused on them.” The Vols take on Georgia at 3:30 on CBS.
