Vols narrowly escape Jags, 31-24 Troy Provost-Heron Assistant Sports Editor It was a tale of two halves. That’s the only way to explain the Vols’, 31-24, narrow escape of South Alabama Saturday inside Neyland Stadium. After a game of ups and downs, the fate of the game came down to goal line stand for the Vols defense. Senior defensive lineman Corey Miller was able to get a crucial sack on second down, and on fourth-and-goal from the 8 yard line, sophomore safety Brian Randolph came away with an interception – his third of the season – to close the curtains on the Jags hopes of a comeback. “We were trying to give them the game and they made it a game, so having our defense step up like that and having faith in the guys across the board, it’s good to have,” junior quarterback Justin Worley said. “It was a little nerve rattling knowing that we might have to go down in a two minute situation and score but our defense had our back and they had a great stop.” See GAME RECAP on Page 6

First Student Life candidate visits campus Daniel Viets Contributor Jean Kim believes she can help UT reach the Top 25. Kim spoke Thursday to about 60 people and a live webcam in pursuit of becoming the next vice chancellor for Student Life. The first of four candidates to visit the campus, Kim most recently served for four years as vice chancellor for student affairs and student life at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “First and foremost I see myself as an educator,” Kim said. “I really see myself as a person who helps individuals gain more information and helps to develop them. I am … very passionate about people being all they can be.” Kim continued to express her commitment to being a positive force for students.

“I am both a beneficiary and an advocate for public education,” she said. “Even though I have worked at both public and private arenas, I really feel like my stronger love and support is for public education.” With her experience in crisis management, working and collaborating with multiple stakeholders and facility building and renovation, Kim outlined specific areas on which she will focus should she be chosen to fill this role. “There are at least three areas where I … can make a significant contribution,” Kim said. “One of those is, obviously, improving and enhancing the experience of undergraduate students. ”I understand that I am, and need to be, an accessible advocate for students.” See VICE CHANCELLOR on Page 2

Female O event puts humorous spin on stereotypical sex talks Jenna Butz Staff Writer Accompanied with gasps, giggles and gawking, “The Female O” event Thursday night opened a door within the UT community to frankly discuss sexual health. With a winding line down the UC hallway to get into the

event, students were intrigued by the idea of a sex conversation that would make them laugh among each other rather than uncomfortably squirm in their seats. Natalie Blocker, freshman in psychology, heard of the program throughout the week and was curious to find out how the subject would be discussed.

“I know that it’s pretty popular around campus, and it’s something that is pretty liberating to go to,” Blocker said. “It’s pretty interesting, and, as a young woman, it’s something that I think is important to know and to share with other people.” See FEMALE ORGASM on Page 3

Poll results indicating women’s preferences in men are shared during the “Female O” presentation on Sept. 26 in the UC. The event sought to discuss female sexuality in a laid-back, humorous tone.

“I hope they get a smile. I hope they feel something,” UK singer/songwriter Lucy Rose said in an interview before she opened for City and Colour on Saturday night at the Tennessee Theatre. “I hope they have a moment when a song takes you to a different place and you forget where you are.” The “moment” that Rose speaks of is not only one that she tries to communicate with her audience, but one she experiences herself when she sees City and Colour perform. “I have a moment when I’m watching City and Colour,” Rose said. “There’s moments that really get me, that give me goose bumps, that make me think of somebody else and take me to a different place. That’s something that’s hard to achieve.” City and Colour, the pseudonym for Canadian singer/ songwriter Dallas Green, played an extensive set of soulful, lyrically focused tunes both new and old for the large, reverent crowd. Micah Brookshear, a recent UT graduate in advertising, enjoyed Green’s stage relatability and how he kept the crowd engaged. “City and Colour put on one of the best performances I have ever seen,” Brookshear said. “He made the crowd feel like we were his friends. He is an exceptional artist who has developed his own style that’s easy to love.” About halfway through his set, Green took the stage with only an acoustic guitar in hand. He proceeded to play five songs in a raw, stripped style that drew the audience in with its vulnerability. Becca Buckley, a Knoxville native and sophomore at MTSU, came to the event to see Green, her favorite artist, perform live. “The show was incredible,” Buckley said. “I personally think Dallas Green sounds even better live than he does on recording and the energy of the show was amazing.” See CITY AND COLOUR on Page 3

UT alumnae offers tips for school outreach Bradi Musil

Contributor Imagine an “engaged” university. What is it like? It was this question that UT alumnae Julie E. Williams, Ph.D., attempted to answer at Thursday’s lecture, titled, “What does an ‘Engaged’ University Look Like?” As the senior vice provost for Engagement and Academic Outreach at the University

of New Hampshire, Williams visited UT to introduce new ideas and practices that could help the university become more involved with the local and global community. Developing countless projects in the community and within the university, Williams is responsible for transforming UNH into one of the leading community engagement institutions. Having established the first Office of Engagement and Academic Outreach at UNH in 2001, Williams later found-

ed the Engaged Scholars Academy, as well as the Engaged Scholars Writing team. “Back in 2001, when I first went to UNH, engagement was the thing you did before you got married,” Williams said. “So, it’s very important to be clear that we mean a variety of things but solely a mutually benefiting collaborative partnership between institutions and community.” By outlining the successful community and research projects of other uni-

versities, Williams presented an array of investments that could help UT achieve the Carnegie’s Classification for Community Engagement. Created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 1973, the Carnegie Classification is awarded to universities in order to categorize their institution and allow comparisons between other institutions of higher education for research projects. “We are growing our resources for

engagement right now, and part of our aim in pursuing the Carnegie’s Community Engagement Classification is to figure out how to expand our outreach and extension missions,” Elizabeth Burman, director of community engagement and outreach, said. “To be part of our community means we have to honor and collaborate with our community. This is an ongoing challenge and process.” See ENGAGE on Page 2
