Execution: the name of the game

McKenzie Sherman Contributor

After a 38-28 victory over Florida (3-1, 1-1) last Saturday, the Vols (4-0, 1-0) will travel to Georgia this weekend to take on the No. 25 ranked Bulldogs in their first away game of the season.

A passionate and long awaited win for players and fans, the Florida game that ended the 11-year winning drought in the Vol and Gator rivalry could make it easy

Volume 132 Issue 29

to overlook the next opponent.

That cannot be done though and bringing the highest level of competition to the field is what the Vols are intending to do for their road game this weekend. “(Florida) was definitely an emotional win. But we realized that you don’t win a season off one game and it takes a lot of games to put it all together, so we’re really focused on this game,” Junior Todd Kelly Jr. said on Tuesday. “In Georgia, 90,000 fans are going to be screaming; and Sanford Stadium is going to be loud,

so we’ve got to focus in against a great team that were playing and come in with the same enthusiasm as we did last week.”

Senior quarterback Joshua Dobbs explained that he and his team are expecting a dogfight coming into this weekend.

Tennessee knows nothing is going to be given and this game, just like any other, will have to be played until the last down.

“You don’t really know what to expect going into each game. You just prepare.

Prepare to execute at a high level. Any time you go on the road in the SEC, you

utdailybeacon.com @utkdailybeacon

have to be ready to play a full 60-minute game and we are ready to do that,” Dobbs said.

The win against Florida sparked obvious celebrations, and Dobbs noted the excitement surrounding the win along with Derek Barnett. But Dobbs, Kelly and Barnett all three made point that practice yesterday was business as usual and that win was just another game in the past.

Morristown College in talks to become park

Youtube ripping service sued by record labels

The historic 50-acre Morristown College used to be a bustling university full of life and the only college in East Tennessee that allowed African American students. Now the buildings stand vacant with crumbling bricks and a potential asbestos infestation, posing an issue for the local community and city officials. Brant and Amy Enderle purchased the land in 2014 and spoke to the community about their plan turn it into a sprawling area of residential and commercial lots, featuring a museum to honor a part of Tennessee’s history. A hearing on Oct. 31 will determine if city officials will win out or the Enderles.

Record labels are once again fighting back against illegal downloading of music, except this time it doesn’t involve shutting down Napster or other likewise sites. Instead, labels like Universal, Sony and Warner Bros have filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles to combat the owners of the German-based website YouTubempg3.org which allows users to input the link to a video and save the audio file on their personal computer with only a few clicks. Labels have accused YouTube-mpg3.org as the “chief-offender” in the case and are asking for $150,000 in damages per download and violation of piracy laws.

Bridge Program sets enrollment record Kaylie Hofer

Contributor University of Tennessee’s Volunteer Bridge Program saw a record enrollment of 175 students this year. The program allows students to spend a year and a summer at Pellissippi State Community College and then transfer to UT, as long as they earn credit and at least a 2.5 GPA. The program started in 2011 as a way to enhance the cooperation between UT and Pellissippi State and help students get adjusted to college.

“Volunteer Bridge Program is for students who have applied for admissions at UT, and they’re not admitted directly into the freshman cohort because UT is getting more and more competitive,” Jason Mastrogiovanni, the director of first-year studies, said. “It’s not because they’re not smart, not because they’re not good students but because it’s getting more competitive. This is a way for us to extend admissions to students by coming in as transfer students, it’s kind of like a planned transfer path.”

The program enrolled between 48 and 74 students for its first three years, 167 students in the 2014 to 2015 admission period and 122 students last year.

“In conjunction with admissions last year, we’ve really been trying to grow the program.

With Bridge, what we’ve been trying to do

for the last couple of years is to understand what students we can help and how we can help them get here,” Mastrogiovanni said.

“It’s a process but every year we are learning a little bit more. I think what we were able to do this year was being a lot more intentional on admissions part in terms of talking about Bridge.”

Despite gathering 175 students, the program is always looking to improve and hopes to enroll 25 more students.

“We’ve been aiming for two hundred for the last two years. We haven’t got there yet but we believe there is a pocket of about 200 students who we believe will be excellent candidates for this program so we’ve been trying to find different ways to attract those students,” Mastrogiovanni said.

One of the many reasons students who are eligible for the program join it is the financial aspect of the program. Enrolling in Pellissippi State Community College allows students to take advantage of Tennessee Promise, a new program that provides two years, tuition-free, at a community or technical college.

Students also have the opportunity to live on UT’s campus while attending Pellissippi State.

“They live on campus, and we do that because we believe in it. We think that’s important and that’s one of the big successes of the program, keeping them together and getting them in a strong community but also we are

• Courtesy of the University of Tennessee able to work with them a little bit closer. If they all lived in different places that’s harder,” Mastrogiovanni said.

Some of the caveats involved with the program include students being unable to join certain clubs and organizations such as Greek organizations, despite living on campus.

“They do kind of limit the things you can be involved in. If you’re in the Bridge Program you can’t rush,” Danielle Apgar, former Bridge student, said.

But while there are the disadvantages, the program is great for helping students become adjusted to life as a college student.

“I think it’s a little bit easier, I think it’s a better transition to college. They don’t just throw you into lectures with 200 other students.

There’s a lot smaller class sizes, so if you’re someone who needs to meet with your professor, it’s a lot easier,” Apgar said.

ARTS&CULTURE

Mars Attacks! — 1996 This Tim Burton fantasy/ thriller film features a fleet of Martians as they surround majority of Earth’s largest cities.

At first, the alien visitors seem to come in peace and a meeting with the United States president (Jack Nicholson) is arranged. All seems to go well, until the Martians decide to attack — get it?

They’ve got unstoppable weapons and everyone goes haywire trying to fight back to reclaim the planet.

The movie is pretty bad — costuming and plot are lacking — but the film does a great job of not taking itself too seriously.

There’s a weird alien-human sex scene and in general, the film is chaotic in terms of branching plot lines. But, the movie keeps the audience captivated and happy. And, I mean, Danny DeVito makes an appearance in the film, which automatically makes it great. The film is so ridiculous and so hilariously wild that it becomes a

Wednesday, September 28, 2016 • The Daily Beacon

great film.

If you are a fan of alien movies, badgood movies or just looking for something to watch to pass the time, “Mars Attacks!” is a hilarious find.

Rating: 6/10 Avalanche Sharks — 2014 Much like the Sharknado films, the premise of “Avalanche Sharks” is ridiculous, in a bad way. The film is set during spring break at a ski resort, which oddly happens to be ancient Native American grounds. The spring breakers and the resort staff are attacked by snow sharks, summoned to the mountain by vengeful Native shamans long ago. Trapped on the mountain (somehow?) people have to battle the ice-sharks (which can only travel on snow) and try to survive each other all the while.

The film features a unknown cast, which sometimes is a great move, but for director Scott Wheeler it was a bad choice.

The blame doesn’t fall sole on the bad actors, however, the various diverging plot lines are also to blame. Those major issues aside, the movie leaves the audience thinking — mostly questions like ‘Why are there sharks on a mountain?’ and ‘How do these ghost ice-shark physics make sense?’

However, the movie is so jaw-droppingly bad, after slapping the viewers in the face it manages to captivate an audience.

Rating: 4/10 Jupiter Ascending— 2015 The film follows a young woman, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), as she discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility. She is tracked down by Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), an ex-military hunter, and she discovers that her inheritance could alter the cosmos.

So with an all-star cast of Kunis, Tatum, Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne, one might expect for an all-star level film.

But, the film fell flat — on it’s face in a

3

ditch. Although I was proud of Tatum for attempting to branch outside of his usual comedic roles, his character seemed extremely forced. Acting aside, the plot of the film itself was everywhere. One minute Jupiter is learning she’s an Intergalactic princess, then she’s learning she has powers, then she’s engaged in order to save the Earth, but wait an awkward romance between her and Caines squeezes in and the film becomes extremely claustrophobic.

The film largely seemed like a parody of the sci-fi genre, even though it was intended to serve as a serious film. Although I got whiplash from Jupiter Ascending, the film is a good find as long as its treated like a parody.

UT expands Title IX programs beyond federal regulations Megan Patterson

Managing Editor After the settlement of the Title IX lawsuit against UT athletics this summer, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek sent out an email reassuring UT students that the university complies with all federal regulations to prevent sexual misconduct on campus and to address it appropriately when incidents do occur.

In reality, the Center for Health and Education Wellness’ fight against sexual assault goes much further than national compliance.

In 2011, the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Education published a letter challenging all institutions of higher education to take a stand against sexual assault on college campuses nationwide. This statement, known as the “Dear Colleague Letter,” formally aligned Title IX and sexual violence as related issues for the first time.

For Ashley Blamey, director of CHEW, and the rest of the center’s staff, this letter sparked a rapid evolution of programs and resources on campus toward sexual violence prevention.

“The White House really came together and formed a very comprehensive task force around this work,” Blamey recalled.

“What they did was say ‘Higher Ed here are our expectations for you. You have an overrepresentation of violence in your community in a community that should have less violence, so what is going on, what are you doing to address it, what are you doing to create a safe environment for your most at risk students in this area?’”

Although UT previously had systems for reporting and addressing cases of sexual misconduct in place, Blamey said that after 2011 specific programs and protocols dedicated to fighting this national epidemic were put in place, including a professionally trained Sexual Assault Response Team. The

2015 TOTAL REPORTS

university’s efforts culminated in their reception of a grant from the Office of Violence Against Women in October 2015.

The grant will fund research on two specific populations, undergraduate men and fraternity men, to determine through surveys and focus groups the best ways to address sexual misconduct in these groups of the student body.

“Our goal in this office is effectiveness,” Fletcher Haverkamp, wellness coordinator and head of sexual violence prevention, said. “We want what we do to be meaningful, to matter, and to really truly help prevent sexual violence, and in order to do that we need to train each population differently.”

Also through the grant, the center hopes to build an online, web-based learning tool available to all colleges in Tennessee to share resources and build programs on other campuses.

Finally, the grant includes an in-depth evaluation of all sexual misconduct policy and programming on campus.

“It’s a chance to have the body that actually writes the legislation look and evaluate, and (it) has given us incredible feedback around the work that we’re doing,” Blamey said.

But some of the most valuable feedback for the center stems from the student body. Most of the slogans used on posters and myths addressed in bystander training sessions were misconceptions brought to the center’s attention by students themselves.

“People really thought Netflix and chill was equal to having an informed sexual consent conversation,” Blamey said.

Additionally, in 2014 Title IX Coordinator Jenny Richter chaired a task force with student representation from 15 university organizations to evaluate programming and rewrite the sexual misconduct policy.

Community involvement and accessibility have been a priority for CHEW from the beginning.

“I think with a lot of prevention work and stuff what we are doing is making it more visible on campus,” Anna Wade,

assistant director for CHEW, said. “You don’t have to go to the police, you don’t have to go to conduct, you can even come to us and you don’t have to give us names, but you can get the support you need.”

According to a CHEW survey, the first year of Vols Speak Up, an active bystander training program, saw a 60 percent growth in students who were aware a university sexual misconduct policy existed.

“We used to have to beg people to talk to us and no one wanted to partner with us,” Blamey said. “I think it was a really hard topic for students. It’s just evolved over time and people are willing to get involved.”

In the coming years, the center hopes to see growth in preventative programs and refinement in responsive measures for sexual misconduct.

“I feel really comfortable now that we are in a good place as far as if someone reports what are the next steps, what are their options …” Blamey said. “I want them not to have to walk in my office because I want it not to have happened.”

Iowa architect encourages students with personal philosophies Jared Sebby

Copy Editor Iowa architect Paul Mankins’ work is a perpetual exercise in experimentation.

Although Mankins discussed his methods, inspirations and values during Monday night’s Robert B. Church Memorial lecture, hosted by the College of Architecture and Design, the one thing that stood out most clearly was a desire for innovation — to look at projects in a way nobody else would — and finding new ideas in unlikely places.

Over his 30-year career Mankins has worked on buildings old and new, from an extremely careful renovation of Eero Saarinen’s Scott Chapel to the Des Moines DART transportation center. His work spans the fields of educational, commercial, residential and civic architecture, and his firm, Substance Architecture, is the most highly recognized architectural practice in Iowa.

Mankins’ personal philosophies, which he discussed at length, formed the cornerstone of his lecture. Although many of these philosophies were discussed in the context of his own practice, he emphasized the importance of finding inspiration in the work of others, adapting to any environment and not being afraid of opportunity. “There’s that Edison quote, ‘People miss opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work,’� Mankins said. “You think, ‘What could possibly be the design opportunity associated with that?’ And then you find out there’s quite a bit actually. “It’s surprising how that kind of infrastructure, background stuff, has a really significant

impact on the visual environment.�

This is especially true in Mankins’ work on parking garages, several of which have received national and international recognition. The Corporate Campus Parking Facility in particular, designed for Wells Fargo Financial, was a point of personal pride during the lecture. The parking structure strikes a balance between being a functional place to park cars and being an aesthetic and spacial experience that marks the entrance to the Wells Fargo campus.

He also discussed his thoughts on the current state of architecture, noting the changes he’s seen during the transition from physical to digital design systems. “I think that architecture is at an interesting moment now, because it’s a profession that requires patience,� Mankins said. “It requires technical expertise in a lot of areas, and that takes time to get. That’s always frustrating for young architects.

One of those young architects, UT architecture graduate student Mathew Smith, said that the lectures represent an important part of his education at UT and resonated with the ideas Mankins presented in his lecture. “This is kind of a way to get a second education while I’m at school, so I just try to come to all the lectures whether I know what’s going on or not,â€? Smith said. “To me ‌ I really liked the way they did those material research projects, especially the parklet.

It was really really interesting to see how he used such a small material as mosquito netting. “To use that in such a creative way to sew it together to make something new and pretty beautiful out of it, that was pretty amazing.�

Festival to showcase a diverse number of clubs, cultures

Anu Kumar

Staff Writer The Diversity Festival will be happening this Friday, Sept. 30, and will be the concluding event to Diversity and Inclusion Week at UT. The festival will include a showcase of international performances, foods from different cultures, games and will feature many cultural clubs at UT. This is the 7th year of the Diversity Festival, which was started by Alice Wirth to engage students outside the classroom. “You have all the academic discussion and dialogue going, but this is another way to have that, to get to know each other on a different level.� Wirth said. “(The festival) gives (people) a way to celebrate and acknowledge each other.�

Many cultural clubs on campus are joining the festivities this Friday, but all student clubs in the College of Communication and Information are also participating. “CCI’s 2016 Diversity and Inclusion Festival will provide participants with an all-campus barbecue, diverse music, dance, games for all, a photo booth and cultural performances,� Ashley Butler, a senior in public relations and the events coordinator for the festival, said.

One aspect that should definitely not be missed are the performers. Both Butler and Wirth find that the performances are the highlight of the festival. “I always enjoy seeing the cultural performances our members find and present during the festival,� Butler said.

Laotian, Indian, Japanese and African performers are only a few that will be presented at the festival.

“We want to create a more inclusive atmosphere while people are attending the festival,�

Butler said. “We want to show that the Diversity Student Leaders Society is an organization that provides an open and accepting community for students (at UT) regardless of ethnic background, gender, culture, religion and sexual orientation.�

What makes this event unique is that it’s almost completely planned by students. “We have students that are planning and putting it on,� Wirth said. “The students also serve on the executive committee.�

Wirth’s main goal with the festival is to promote inclusiveness beyond borders, as well as broadening students’ view of their world and campus. “Just to see the variety of people and all different types of people coming together, that’s my high,� Wirth said. “That makes it electrifying.�

Wirth also admits that while there is a lot of work to be done regarding diversity and inclusion, this festival is a stepping stone to a better campus. It gives students and community members a chance to learn about other cultures and walks of life, as well as gain a better understanding of the different backgrounds people can come from. “Our purpose is to provide equitable and high quality educational opportunities and to promote an understanding of each other by moving beyond simple tolerance to embrace and celebrate the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual,� Butler said.

The Diversity Festival will be held at the College of Communication and Information Lobby/Patio area from 5-7 p.m., and all are welcomed to attend. For more information and events for the Diversity and Inclusion week, visit CCI’s website.

Sports make one heck of a day Trenton Duffer Sports Editor

My emotions ran wild this weekend — and it was all because of sports.

I’m not afraid to admit that. It was Jimmy Valvano that said in his 1993 ESPY Award acceptance speech that the three things everyone should do every day is laugh, think and cry.

“If you laugh, think and cry, that’s a heck of a day,” Valvano said.

And that doesn’t ring any truer than in the weekend the sports world just experienced.

First off, in case any of you were living under a rock on Saturday, Sept. 24, the Vols snapped an 11-year losing streak to the Florida Gators in a 38-28 victory.

For someone like me who’s followed this program for those 11 years, it was just so fulfilling to see Tennessee walk off the field with the victory.

And I was actually on the field to experience it. If you follow me or The Daily Beacon’s sports page on Twitter (shameless promotion: @trenton_duffer for me and @UTKBeaconSports for the sports page), you’d see the tweet I sent out about heading down onto the field. It’s something that I do every game, but this time, it just meant more.

As the clock struck 0:00 and the Vols began running onto the field to celebrate, I followed them over to the student section where they were singing “Rocky Top.” But when the Alma Mater began, I was overcome with emotions.

I did not cry, I want to make that clear. But here I was feeling emotional all because of a football

game that doesn’t control anything major in this world, like famine or wars.

But as Saturday concluded and Sunday came upon us, the tears started flowing.

Many of you may not know the story of Jose Fernandez, the pitcher for the MLB team Florida Marlins.

Hernandez and two others died on Sunday in a boating accident in Florida. Hernandez was a Cuban-born pitcher who worked his way up to becoming one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Along with his pitching skills, the 24-year-old right-hander had one of the most cheerful, happygo-lucky personalities in all of sports. I’ve watched a few press conferences and videos of him since I heard of his death, and I’ve been touched by his incredible attitude.

The Marlins cancelled their game against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, but they got back to work on Monday, Sept. 26, against the New York Mets.

And that’s when the magic happened.

On the first at-bat for the Marlins, Dee Gordon, who had zero home runs so far this season, hit a homer off of Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon.

Gordon, and all other Marlins members, were wearing Hernandez’s No. 16 jersey, making the moment that much more special for Gordon and his team.

And Gordon made that known by crying as he ran around the bases and into the dugout.

That’s when the tears came for me. I cried like a

UT players finish top 10 at Ivy Plus Invitational Staff Report

Tennessee’s Timo Stodder and Scott Jones left Princeton on Sunday with an 8-5 win against the seventh-ranked team of Columbia’s Shawn Hadavi and Richard Pham to take the title at the Rockefeller Draw. The Stodder-Jones duo went through two top-20 teams en route to the title.

The Volunteers’ doubles teams went 3-0 with wins also by Preston Touliatos and Srdjan Jakovljevic versus Grunberger and Rimondini of Cornell along with Steven Karl and Luca Wiedenmann versus O’Hoisen and Colton of Wisconsin. The results of those matched were 8-3 and 8-5, respectively.

Along with his doubles title, Timo Stodder notched a ranked singles victory, defeating No. 96 Harrison O’Keefe of South Carolina, 6-4, 6-7, [10-5]. Other notable singles results at the Ivy

Plus Invitational include Steven Karl defeating Paulo Siracusa of Marist 5-7, 6-2, [10-8] and Srdjan Jakovljevic falling to Brown’s Peter Litsky 6-7(2), 6-4, [11-9].

Despite the Vols’ success at the Ivy Plus Invitational, they struggled at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships in Athens, Georgia, specifically in their singles matches.

In the 64-player bracket, both Jack Schipanski and Luis Valero of Tennessee lost in the consolation, Schipanski to Maximilian Scholl of Gardner-Webb and Valero to Jai Corbett of Virginia Tech. In doubles, Shipansky and Valero reached the quarterfinals in the 16-team bracket after they defeated Porteset and Cases of Armstrong State by walkover. But the duo fell to Georgia Tech’s Kay and Yun 6-4 in the next round.

The Vols will play again next weekend in the ITA All-American Championships, with prequalifying beginning Oct. 1 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

baby at the pure beauty of this situation. And even if you hate sports and don’t understand anything about them, I’m sure you were a little taken back by my explanation of the situation.

And if you didn’t get upset reading this, go find the video. Just look up “Dee Gordon home run 2016.” Then watch the video and let the waterworks begin.

Add all of this to the fact that Arnold Palmer, the greatest golfer of all-time (sorry fans of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus), passed away on Sunday, and you get the essence of Jimmy V’s speech.

Each of those three things I mentioned (laughing, thinking and crying) happened this weekend.

We all laughed and were happy when the Vols beat the Gators because the streak was finally over and the team finally got that monkey off their back.

We were forced to think when Arnold Palmer passed away. It doesn’t matter how much success you have in life — none of us are immortal.

There’s an end to everything.

And we all had our emotions moved to tear when Fernandez’s death was announced and when Dee Gordon gave him the ultimate tribute.

Sports are such a beautiful thing. We feel every emotion with sports — happiness, sadness, anger, disappointment, outrage and passion just to name a few.

We laugh. We think. And we cry.

Isn’t that a heck of a day?

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 While Barnett compared practice to a snap and clear mindset, head coach Butch Jones and his staff have implemented focusing on the next game and coming in prepared for what it may bring.

“We had a good team win, we celebrated it; but now it’s a new week and we’re ready and we’re preparing for Georgia, and we have to do things correctly to get this W,” Barnett said.

Preparing for this next game both mentally and physically, the saying “next man up” has quickly become a known aphorism for the Vols after facing injuries early on in the season.

Barnett, Dobbs and Kelly all three spoke of telling young players to be ready, that the moment they are needed can come at any time and that has been evident after during both the Ohio and Florida games.

“I kinda told the younger guys to expect the unexpected and when your name is called to be ready. So with that, being said being focused and being locked in throughout the week of practice and preparation,” Kelly said.
