WHERE’S

MY CAR same lot a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado had also disappeared.

She was told the chances of seeing her car again were slim.

These two incidents are not unusual for Knoxville. Last month alone, 34 vehicles were reported stolen in the Knoxville area, four of those coming from UT’s campus. In early January, three trucks and were stolen on campus, and a fourth theft was attempted.

They were all similar models, GMC Sierras or Chevrolet Silverados from the early-to-mid 2000s.

“You can pick up a pattern,” said UTPD Chief of Police Troy Lane, who

Contributor McKenzie Feyerabend roamed parking lot N-8 on Sept. 15 in search of her car. After searching for quite some time, Feyerabend realized her white, 2006 GMC Sierra was gone.

“That was my car,” Feyerabend said.

“That was my first car.”

Feyerabend, a pre-pharmacy freshman, immediately called the UT Police Department to report the theft. She was informed at the same time, in the

Gov. Haslam, Board of Trustees to tackle budget crisis McCord Pagan Social Media Editor The governor’s back in town.

Gov. Bill Haslam will speak at Hollingsworth Auditorium Friday for the Board of Trustees’ October meeting. Although Haslam is chair of the board and governing body of the UT System, he does not usually attend, allowing the vice-president to preside over the meeting.

Gov. Haslam is in the midst of a budget crisis, the result of lagging state revenues from taxes. Last year, the state government found itself in a $300 million budget deficit after two of the main business’ taxes grossly underperformed.

This week, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported Haslam has asked all state agencies to cut 7 percent from their budget to accommodate more modest state revenues.

is currently investigating the thefts.

The car models commonly stolen are unique for one similar reason: their parts. The parts in these models are standard and can fit into almost any make. These stolen parts tend to turn up on Craigslist or similar websites for cheap prices.

Typically, car parts have an identification number which connects them to a specific vehicle, but these are rarely checked once installed and are recorded even less. When a car goes missing, it is rare the thief required a whole car, but instead was interested in the nearly untraceable and lucrative

inner mechanics.

These car models are not only targeted in Knoxville. Similar reports have been made in areas as far as Asheville, North Carolina. Lane said UT’s campus can be particularly susceptible to thievery, though, because of the large concentration of cars.

“If I’m in the business of stealing cars, UT’s going to be a nice target for me because I know there are 20,000 or 30,000 people who all drive there,” Lane said.

Julie McKnight has no problem stepping off the beaten path.

McKnight, a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in geography, originally planned to become a lawyer after earning her bachelor’s degree in philosophy. However, she quickly realized a desk job wasn’t for her and her true passion was in exploring the outdoors.

“I wasn’t happy with the office environment, but I was happy being out in the world,” McKnight said. “I realized that if I had that sort of office environment connected with the outdoor part of my life I would be really happy.”

McKnight attended the University of South Florida where she completed her master’s degree in geology. During her time in Florida, she frequently traveled to Mexico to work on water resource related issues with small communities.

Through working with land managers in new environments and gaining hands-on experience, McKnight realized just how much she loved geographic research and decided to expand her educational endeavors at UT. “I came to geography because as a discipline, it’s really a synthesis of different components of world.” McKnight said.

“It’s really exciting because you can really work at the interface of things.”

In December 2013, McKnight had the opportunity to take a month-long trip to Ecuador through the McClure Scholarship.

Moore ready to step up, make impact for Vols Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB) It didn’t take long for head coach Donnie Tyndall to realize that Armani Moore would be an impact player for his Tennessee Volunteer basketball team.

As an athletic 6-foot-5, 215pound guard-turned-forward, Moore is a perfect fit for Tyndall’s offensive and defensive systems.

“We have one guy in our program that has scored 10 points or more in a game, so his (Moore) role is certainly going to increase,” Tyndall said. “When I talk about him being my type of guy, I’m talking from a work ethic standpoint and a toughness standpoint. He has a physicality about him and he’s not afraid to challenge guys and lead.”

And Moore will be asked to do a lot of leading.

As one of only six returning players on the Vols’ roster, Moore is a rarity on this Tennessee team–with nine newcomers, leadership is at

premium.

That said, Moore has accepted his leadership role, even if it is a little strange being on the other side.

“It’s been a big change, especially coming off of last year when I was one of the guys looking up to the older guys,” Moore said. “Now, I’m an older guy with much more experience, so it’s been a very big role change, but I’m ready to the job.”

In his two years at UT, Moore has proven just how disruptive he can be on the defensive side of the ball, recording 20 blocks and 15 steals in a reserve role last year. However, his offensive game has not always been as productive. In 33 games last year, Moore averaged just 3.1 points per game on 47 percent shooting.

But as the season nears, Moore is continuing to work with the coaches to become a more consistent producer on offense. “(I have to be able to) get to the rim and create my shot in certain situations,” Moore

DISPATCHES Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Ebola in the U.S.

Michael Phelps arrested, charged with DUI

Secret Service Director Resigns

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in eight women will battle breast cancer at some point in their life, making it the second leading cause of death for women. If found and treated early, breast cancer is curable.

Regular self-exams and mammograms can aid in early detection.

The first case of Ebola was diagnosed in the United States last week. The patient is being treated in isolation in a Dallas hospital after being sent home from the doctor days earlier. He came back later and tested positive for Ebola. However, the U.S. has plenty of resources to combat it, and it can only be transferred though direct contact with bodily fluids. The patient is doing well and the people he came in contact with are being monitored for symptoms. Thus far, they have not shown signs of infection.

Early Tuesday morning, 22-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps was arrested in Maryland for driving under the influence of alcohol. Phelps had a blood alcohol content of 0.14 – twice the 0.08 legal limit. This isn’t Phelps’ first encounter with the law. The then-19year-old Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence after he ran a stop sign and was sentenced to 18 months probation. While there are no sanctions from USA Swimming and his corporate sponsors yet, he will go to court Nov. 19.

Wednesday, Julia Pierson resigned as head of the Secret Service, the result of several serious security lapses during her tenure. In 2011, for example, a man fired a semi-automatic weapon at the White House and the Secret Service didn’t know until days later. In March of this year, three Secret Service agents accompanying the president on a trip abroad were sent home from Amsterdam because one of the agents was found passed out after a night of drinking. Last month, an armed man with a criminal record entered an elevator with President Obama. Most recently, Sept. 20, a man with a knife ran into the White House though an unlocked door. Having lost the president’s confidence, she resigned the day following her hearing about the elevator incident.

CDC: Heroin deaths rise in much of the country Associated Press NEW YORK — Deaths from heroin overdose doubled in just two years in much of the nation, a new government study says.

The annual number of U.S. drug overdose deaths has been growing for more than 20 years.

Officials have been most worried about a class of powerful prescription “opioid” painkillers like Vicodin and OxyContin.

Deaths involving such painkillers continue to be much more common than heroin-related deaths, the study found.

But while those deaths are leveling off or declining in many parts of the country, heroinrelated deaths soared between 2010 and 2012 in the 28 states for which information was available to the researchers.

Heroin overdose deaths rose from 1,779 to 3,665, doubling the death rate to 2.1 deaths per 100,000 people.

Heroin-related deaths increased in both men and women, in all age groups, and in whites, blacks and Hispanics.

Officials say the trend’s future is hard to predict. “It’s a volatile situation,” said one of the study’s authors, Dr. Len Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The study looked at 2012 overdose death data from death certificates and compared it to 2010. The 28 states sampled include more than half of the U.S. population and account for more than half of the nation’s drug overdose deaths.

Overdose numbers from all the states are not expected to be released for at least a few more months.

While the heroin death toll doubled, deaths linked to opioid painkillers fell in the 28 states, from 10,427 in 2010 to 9,869 in 2012. The death rate declined to 5.6 per 100,000.

Why the jump in heroinrelated deaths as opioid painkiller deaths declined? Recent restrictions on prescribing opioid painkillers may be reducing illicit supplies of them at a time when the heroin supply has been increasing, experts said.

The main reason may be that people who had been abusing the painkillers moved “from high-priced pills to more affordable heroin,” Barbara Carreno, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, wrote in an e-mail.

A possible indicator of heroin’s growing supply: The DEA’s domestic seizures of the drug rose from around 1,300 pounds a year in 2007-2009 to roughly 2,200 pounds annually in 20112013, she said.

“There is heroin around and people do try it,” said Dr. Hillary Kunins, assistant commissioner at the New York City’s health department.

The heroin problem has been dramatic in New York City — a place where about two people die of fatal drug overdoses every day, on average.

Through the last decade, heroin-related deaths remained more common in New York than opioid painkiller-related deaths. In 2013, heroin overdose caused 6.2 deaths per 100,000 New Yorkers, the highest rate in a decade.

STOLEN CARS continued from Page 1 The way cars on campus are stolen is unusual, Lane explained, because there is little to no evident of intrusion, like a broken window or forced lock. As most vehicle thefts result from the owner forgetting their keys in the ignition or leaving the car door open, Lane said these criminals are rare.

“The pattern suggests that there’s an organized group out there,” Lane said. “They could drop someone off and be on their way, and the other guy will go take a vehicle.”

Lane said groups such as these don’t typically stay in one place for long, citing a pattern in reporting which generally shows a high concentration of thefts, a period of no reported thefts, and, a couple months later, spiked numbers once again. He said this explains the January thefts.

“I just tape it, stretch it and run on the pain just to get there,” she said.

McKnight said the hard work required to earn a Ph.D. is certainly not for everyone, but for those passionate about a specific area of study, as she is for geography and land management, the challenge is worth it.

“We, as Ph.D. candidates, pursue this avenue because this is our passion and this is what we want our life to be,” McKnight said. “We take this home with us and it keeps us up at night.”

TRUSTEES continued from Page 1

As the fiscal year 2015 state budget failed to fully fund UT, the Board of Trustees raised tuition 6 percent for most undergraduates, as opposed to the 2 to 3 percent tuition increase the board aims for in years of strong state funding.

During the Board of Trustees’ June meeting, UT System President Joe DiPietro asked for help in lobbying for more education dollars.

“We have to move forward with developing a coalition for investment in the state,” DiPietro said.

Failure to raise the expected revenue led to speculation

by DiPietro that the current state funding model is broken.

Gina Stafford, assistant vice president and director of communications, said while DiPietro will not address specifics, he will continue the conversation he started this summer.

“It’s a matter of giving more context,” Stafford said, “Giving more information that will help the trustees have insight into the funding challenges.

“We’re just on the front end of that conversation now.”

Despite questionable state funding, Stafford said that administrative-level discussion of these issues makes her optimistic about UT’s financial future.

“It will be interesting to see where this conversation on the funding model will go next,” Stafford said.

Other items on the agenda include Chancellor Jimmy Cheek’s update on Top 25, performance review for top administrators, transfer of property and the granting of tenure to faculty members.

This meeting will also be the first for R.J. Duncan, the UTK student representative on the Board of Trustees, since his appointment was

HOLD: Checker Neyland: The checkerboard end zones are one of the many great UT traditions, and as most people know, we will be attempting to checkerboard the crowd at the game. If this works, it will be one of the coolest sights to hit Knoxville since the invention of the hipster. The only reason I’m not at “strong buy” right now is that many UT fans (that have been season ticket holders for years) are not going to know to find their section, go to checkerneyland.com, input the information and coordinate their shirt color. Luckily, this column runs on Friday, which means a few should be sitting around on campus while everyone is tailgating Saturday. Even better, the demographic in question loves newspapers! Vols over the age of 65, I now speak directly to you: FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR LANDING ON THE MOON AND FOR THE BEATLES. TODAY, WE ARE TRYING TO CHECKER NEYLAND.

Just like when you were five and every stick on the ground became a rifle for you and your friends to play war with, Team 118 is bringing out double pistols, grenades and machine guns against their opponents.

Prepare for imaginary artillery stock to shoot up with these campus celebrity endorsements.

Naturally, the entire school flocked over to see what could be going on that deemed a response by administration necessary. Scanning over some of the yaks (probably not the most scientific method of research), I discovered one crucial thing: none of us are funny. Seriously, I even tried a couple jokes about Florida on there and got like 6 points, and I’m hilarious!

Yik Yak needs to go, and not because of bullying or people saying mean things. That’s the least of our worries. No, the real problem is watching so many wannabe comedians fail miserably; it’s worse than watching a Vandy offensive series. A lot of effort, not a lot of gain.

UT’s Yik Yak community needs some serious restructuring. What I propose is a Yik Yak Task Force, chaired by Sigma Phi Epsilon President Robby Billings. All Yaks must be approved and endorsed by the committee for content, grammar and most importantly, humor. Don’t think of this as an intrusion upon your right to free speech.

The Contentment Paradox Turn of Phrase by

Sarah Hagaman Waiting in line at Starbucks often results in an unexpectedly intense experience.

Two percent or nonfat? Single espresso or double espresso? Whip or no whip?

And now, with the autumnal weather, the eternal question: pumpkin spice latte or no pumpkin spice latte?

Ordering at Starbucks does not entail a simple drink order, but rather resembles an instruction of scientific exaction. One of America’s favorite coffee shops provides a beacon of hope for bleary-eyed college students everywhere--but sometimes, choosing the right drink takes excessive mental and emotional work.

The Starbucks menu, indeed, has enough nuanced variety to offer just about any conceivable combination of coffee and flavor—all in the name of the ability to “Find Your Perfect Coffee.” Indeed, estimates show all the offerings, when put together, allow Starbucks customers to create as many as 87,000 potential drink combinations.

American consumers devour the idea of choice. Western societies fundamentally celebrate individual freedoms and the benefits of options; more is better. To an extent, this tenant of freedom forms a necessary component of society, and endows citizens with unprecedented (and largely positive) social and economic liberties.

Upon first impression, these dazzling arrays

of possibility offer several benefits. As selfactualizing individuals, shouldn’t everyone have the opportunity to create the perfect, personalized Starbucks drink?

Strangely enough, the option to add a shot of vanilla, hazelnut or raspberry syrup to a frappuccino may actually leave one less satisfied than expected. The consumer strategy that seems so appealing creates an interesting psychological paradox.

Barry Schwartz, the author of “The Consumer Paradox: Why More Is Less” discusses two unexpectedly negative implications of the power of choice.

First, consumers often experience paralysis—buyers will often bypass a potential purchase due to overwhelming options. A study conducted by Inger and Lepper (of Columbia and Stanford Universities, respectively) revealed shoppers, when presented with either a large selection of jams (24) or a small selection (6), were significantly more likely to purchase from the smaller group.

The researchers concluded “having ‘too much’ choice hampered the consumer’s ability to buy.”

This frugal response does not restrict itself to food purchases. When shopping for a pair of pants, does one select skinny jeans? Boot cut? Boyfriend? High-waisted? Dark wash?

Acid wash? Distressed? The possibilities in choice—from food to clothing to potential romantic partners—can result in a state of utter paralysis. Consumers prove less likely to make a decision when faced with an overwhelming variety of possibilities; yet, when presented with fewer options, the studies largely show an increase in sales.

Second, Schwartz argues, is the overall dissatisfaction with one’s decision. Promises of

exactness have an unfortunate caveat; with the onslaught of options, people feel compelled to select the absolute perfect option. The second response results in an overall sense of dissatisfaction; did you really want a chai? Maybe a caramel macchiato would have been a better choice.

With perfection as the expectation, consumers constantly experience an underlying sense of disappointment. Appearances often create deception, and empty promises for fulfillment often leave consumers with a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction.

No longer do we live in a culture where “good enough” is actually good enough; yet, perfection does not result in fulfillment.

Consumerism has trickled into our personal philosophies, and as a result, citizens of industrialized societies remain constantly stressed and dissatisfied in many areas of personal choice.

The self-blame which ensues from a poor decision, Schwartz said, wreaks havoc on mental health. Psychologists have begun to study potential links between this phenomenon and increasing rates of clinical depression among people in industrial societies.

Oddly enough, the very choices which seem so empowering ultimately cripple consumers.

The driving economic goals behind much of Western society do not go without their implications for the masses; maybe, in some cases, less is more.

While Starbucks may offer 87,000 different options, perhaps finding two or three drinks that rarely fail to meet one’s coffee needs can ultimately be the more freeing choice.

Wayward walrus worry wagon Untitled by

Grayson Hawkins “Put the information out there and let the reader decide.”

Everything we do, from breathing to printing newspapers, affects the environment around us.

Earlier in human history, our impact on Earth was naught. Earth had reached a state of equilibrium while maintaining growth and evolution throughout its many environments. In the present day, however, humankind’s impact seems to be influencing the biogeochemical cycle (or “the infinitely minute facets of everything that happens on Earth”). This is almost solely portrayed as bad: “How dare we influence and change the world around us!”

Our impact on Earth is easily seen in a negative light through the use of words such as “global warming” or “climate change.” These are infinitely complex processes that people can dedicate their entire lives to. Now, anyone who has taken Psychology 101 knows how humans can shorthand such complex things into a system that is much easier to understand: otherwise known as mental models. These systems are based on incomplete information, but are still deeply ingrained into our mind (humans will often defend their original mental model even if their misconceptions are corrected).

Overcoming biased mental models gives way to enlightenment and objective, logical viewpoints.

Generally, our mental models of global warming and climate change are similar and it can be agreed upon that both of these processes are due to “pollution.”

Pollution is such a nasty word!

Since childhood, we are taught to recognize pollution as bad: being scolded after throwing a piece of trash on the ground, turning on the TV to see pictures of seagulls with plastic sixpack rings around their necks. This forms a simplistic, black-and-white mental model of pollution in our minds. Now we find ourselves in college, and we see on Good Morning America that “CARBON EMISSIONS” are on the rise, that cars are “POLLUTING” our air. Bam, we instantly have negative assumptions about carbon emissions similar to emotions felt by throwing a can on the ground, even though they are completely different issues.

To avoid the negative connotations associated with buzzwords like pollution, let us refer to pollution as “the by-products of human practices.” Yes, both climate change and global warming are due to the by-products of human practices, but does this mean either of these processes are morally or ethically bad?

A great example of global warming: a group of 35,000 walruses recently beached themselves on the shore of Alaska due to the lack of ice in the Chukchi and Bering Seas. This has happened every other year since 2007 and is possibly a precursor to climate change in the Arctic (negative buzzwords for this: “polar ice caps melting”). Is this change in walrus migratory patterns fundamentally bad, or can humankind (or walruskind) adapt to the new Earth just as the old Earth adapted to humankind?

“But what if the walruses die? SAVE THE WALRUSES!” Out of the estimated 100 million species of organisms on our planet, around 10,000 of these species go extinct each year. Why save certain species from their inevitable fate, just because they may be cute or iconic?

The progression and furtherance of humankind is already slowed by bureaucracy, wars, politics and hate. To slow down our progression even more to avoid changing the Earth (something that is already constantly changing) seems counter-productive. Humankind has already achieved dirty production of energy.

With advances in technology, we now have forms of clean energy, albeit less effective than the already-established standard of dirty energy.

Research in this field is being facilitated, but should governments really start banning fossil fuels before our “green” energy comes of age?

While we are still in the adolescent stages of industry, should we prematurely shoot towards impossibly high energy standards? On the other side of that, because we are growing and technology is evolving, should we stay stagnant and comfortable in our adolescent, dirty, stage of industry?

I answer every email sent to me. Maybe you’re bored or feeling down on your luck?

Maybe you completely disagree with my presented argument and feel the need to throw some words at me in all caps? It doesn’t matter!

ARTS & CULTURE ‘Farm Tour’ brings down the barn Marina Waters Contributor The moon hung low in the starscattered, East Tennessee sky as the scent of smoke and corn husks drifted through the cool fall air. In a matter of hours, the rolling hills adorned with rows of corn will soon house rows of cars.

Some 15,000 country music fans didn’t congregate in the middle of an open field for the scenery and clear view of the stars—they came for one star in particular.

Shining country star Luke Bryan, kicked off his sixth annual Farm Tour at Maple Lane Farms on Wednesday night with a soldout crowd—one which he did not disappoint.

To ignite the excitement of the rowdy, beer-filled crowd, Bryan kicked the night off with an impressive array of lights which were perfectly synced to a pulsating beat. As the anticipation escalated, Bryan hit the stage with his catchy, catfish-loving, dynamite hit, “That’s My Kind of Night” followed by his current single, the Panama City Beach-themed, summer love song, “Roller Coaster.”

The show ranged from party anthems to country-branded love songs to a few scattered heartbreak themed ballads, (with just a touch of the country heartthrob shakin’ it for his Knoxville fans).

Bryan is often associated with the term “bro country,” which refers to a newer brand of country music with just a touch of hip-hop and pop melodies and themes.

But there is still a strong sense of country twang that truly blurs the lines between raw country music and the hybrid, rap-inspired country genre.

No matter what genre his songs are categorized under, it’s these mega-hits rolling through Bryan’s set list that kept the excitement burning late into the night.

The country hit-maker’s discography has acquired a lofty number of country-branded hits. Songs such as “I Don’t Want This Night To End,” “Someone Else Calling You Baby” and “Country Girl (Shake it for Me)” added to the excitement that competed with Bryan’s country boy charm and dance moves, which certainly got

the attention of the female members of the audience.

Bryan further livened the show by inviting one of the opening acts, Cole Swindell, back onto the stage to assist him with the Florida-Georgia Line hit “This Is How We Roll,” which features Bryan and was co-written by Swindell.

But the show didn’t just consist of twangy, spring break, party anthems and up-tempo drinking songs. Bryan brought a bit more depth to his show with songs such as the vocally-driven, pre-break up song, “Do I” and the griefstricken dedication song for his late siblings, “Drink a Beer.” The makeshift pier Bryan used during “Drink a Beer” set the perfect scene for the sad, farewell ballad.

The slower sections of Bryan’s show brought vocal and emotional depth with songs like the farm-themed love song, “Shut it Down.” Even in the more uptempo, summer hit, “Drunk on You,” Bryan displayed his ability to entertain, stripping down the song to raw acoustics before bringing in his band. Bryan also showcased even more talent with his piano skills throughout the slower numbers, bringing a breath of fresh air into the show.

However, Bryan failed to include some of his earlier, farmappropriate, country-heavy tunes like “Welcome to the Farm,” “Harvest Time” and “We Rode In Trucks.”

And he did have a moment of confusion when he referred to Knoxville as Nashville by mistake, but the two minuscule mistakes are easily forgotten when the overall concert experience is considered.

But it wouldn’t have been a Luke Bryan concert without the songs for which he is best known such as “Drunk on You” and “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)”—which he used to bring the show on home.

The fact such a big name in the music industry can bring an enormous, stadium-sized show and place it in the heart of a local farm truly made the show one unlike any other and once again proves Luke Bryan knows how to bring in a crowd.

Style meets school spirit Melodi Erdogan Copy Editor (@melodierdogan)

Krishen Gosine’s blood runs pure, UT orange.

With a little help from his friends, Gosine rallied a group of students to create and fund the first student section for the Lady Vols soccer team. Receiving encouragement from players and head coach Brian Pensky, Gosine formed the Regal Rowdies–aptly named after the team’s Regal Stadium– just in time for the fall 2014 season.

“I think that the University of Tennessee has a lot of pride and tradition,” Gosine, sophomore in biological sciences, said at the Lady Vols’ match against Alabama last Friday. “There’s a lot of foundation for student pride and just wearing the color orange.

“It has so much meaning.”

That same day, Gosine purchased his first official UT merchandise: a Lady Vols flag.

Whether it’s creating a student section, watching games or simply going to class, there’s no shortage of ways for students to sport their orange and white. In Big Orange Country, everything from bow ties to shot glasses comes in the signature shade.

Jake Watson, however, thinks the color orange is “ugly.” Still, that doesn’t prevent the junior in geography from showing his school spirit.

“I’m not a huge fan of our school colors,” Watson said, “but come sporting event time, I love to come out and wear the colors and scream at the other team and show my Vol pride.

“I love it here, but I disagree with the color.”

The hue didn’t seem to bother Gosine, who wore his new flag tied around his neck like a cape to last Friday’s game.

Mali Collins, senior in social work, grew up in the Knoxville area. She has always been surrounded by the school’s paraphernalia and emblems, whether it’s via bumper stickers on cars or hearing “Go Vols” before every parting during football season, but she never really developed a hardcore passion for the orange and white.

“Well my personal opinion is that I don’t care,” Collins said. “I like Knoxville and I live here, but I can’t say that I have this gung-ho school spirit, so (orange) is just another color.”

Having attended a few women’s soccer games, Collins attributes what little school spirit she has not to a specific athletic team, but a hobby.

“I’m just do it because it’s a fun pastime, not because I have this love for UT football specifically,” Collins said.

Watson, however, believes wearing orange at an athletic event is crucial.

“It means being a part of a big community that really supports the school motto,” Watson said, “the school’s statement to pass the torch of knowledge to the community and everyone you meet.”

Gosine agreed, saying UT is a “rich, cultured SEC school” that promotes students’ “deep pride for their school.” Regardless of personal color preference, Gosine said “Vols are Vols, no matter what.”

“It’s kind of corny I guess,” Gosine said, “but it means a lot to me to wear orange and to be in an institution that not only has the academic recognition but also from a student body and student activities point.”

A decade of ‘Firsts’ Monthly art show celebrates ten-year anniversary

First Friday: a Knoxville tradition as central to the city’s persona as UT football or Saturday morning farmers markets.

One dish of the four course meal served at Career Services’ “Recipe for Success” was chicken wrapped in bacon. Melodi Erdogan • The Daily Beacon

Remember your manners Career Services dinner teaches professional meal etiquette Copy Editor (@melodierdogan)

Four courses. Three forks.

Two spoons. One knife.

Geared toward juniors and seniors who will soon be entering the workforce, “Recipe for Success” is an informational event that presented attendees with a simulation dinner interview. Attendees were served a free four-course meal while listening to step-by-step directions on how to properly eat soup, kindly ask for the salt and other pieces of advice on how to act professionally at a meal with a potential employer.

Mary Mahoney, Career Services assistant director, organized the event to “prepare students for the job search and all that entails.”

“I think when we’re in that business, professional setting we’re not realizing things are a little bit different and things are being observed,” Mahoney said after the event Wednesday evening at the UC Hermitage Room. “(At home) we’re just eating too fast so we’re not thinking about eating our bread slowly, cutting, conversing and realizing that we need to pace ourselves.

“We’re just trying to prepare (students) so they can make a good impression.”

In addition to the meal, the approximately 75 students in attendance also received a resume folder and were offered the chance to have a formal headshot photo taken for online career profiles, like LinkedIn. Eddie Rich, sales manager at Ferguson Enterprises’ Knoxville office, a contracting company that partnered with Career Services and Aramark to host the event, spoke to attendees before the meal was served. Stressing that good impressions are just as memorable as bad impressions, Rich advised students to feel confident in interviews with potential employers.

“Tell the person you’re talking to about all the things you’ve done, all your accomplishments,” Rich said. “Now’s the chance, bragging is okay.”

Winston Smith, junior in accounting, wanted to attend the event after attending a formal meeting with representatives from large accounting firms over the summer. It was there he realized he wanted to improve his table manners.

“I was expecting to learn

a lot of basic table manners and such, and I feel like (the event) exceeded my expectations,” Smith said. “I do expect to at some point be able to go to dinners or lunches with potential employers and essentially be in interview type settings, and I believe being able to present myself well would make me more marketable.”

William Taylor, senior in finance, shared the same sentiment. Admitting he was initially drawn to the event for the free food, he said he left better understanding etiquette beyond the basic “outside to in” utensil rule.

“The best thing you could do is not make yourself look dumb; you want to seem like you know what you’re doing, even if you don’t,” Taylor said.

“This definitely helps because now I have more of an idea of what I’m supposed to do.”

Pointing out the formal setting adds a lot of pressure on the interviewee, Taylor said he thought some of the rules were tedious and numerous.

But he also mentioned he’ll always remember his bread will be on the left side of his plate and his drinks will always be on the right.

Throughout the meal, students were able to ask Mahoney questions while she presented proper etiquette for a formal meal. Whether it

“

N ow ’s the chance, bragging is okay.

“

Melodi Erdogan

-Eddie Rich was about business casual and generally conservative attire, properly pointing out dietary restrictions by quietly asking restaurant servers to outline ingredients in a dish or handling the check - if the employer invited you, they’ll pay but always offer to pay your part and carry cash or credit just in case - all questions were welcome throughout the course of the meal.

Ultimately, Mahoney said she hopes every student walked out of the event with a better understanding of proper etiquette in a professional setting.

“I hope that at least every student learns something tonight that they didn’t know about and that can help them better understand why dining etiquette is important,” Mahoney said.

Publicized through the Hire-A-Vol website, the spring “Recipe for Success” event will take place in late February or early March. The date has not been announced.

As he helplessly crawled around in agony on the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium grass, Jeff Driskel needed a lifeline.

The date was Sept. 21, 2013, and the Florida quarterback was in trouble — in more ways than one.

In the football department, Driskel had just thrown an interception to Tennessee cornerback Devaun Swafford, who raced down the sideline for a touchdown to put the Volunteers ahead 7-0.

More importantly, Driskel’s inability to walk was caused by what was later diagnosed as a broken right leg — an injury which caused him to miss the remainder of the 2013 season.

But even as Driskel and the Gators prepare for their first meeting with UT since then, the Florida quarterback insisted he hasn’t revisited the gruesome injury anytime recently.

“No, not really,” he said Monday when asked if he’s thought about the injury. “I’m just ready to get back out there.

That was a long two weeks.”

And what an eventful two weeks it’s been.

After losing their SEC opener to Alabama by three touchdowns — a game where Driskel

went a dismal 9-of-28 passing for 93 yards and two interceptions — the Gators then had an bye week to regroup before heading out on the road again.

While the general consensus is that bye weeks are a time to relax and unwind from the collegiate grind, Driskel’s time off was marred by continual criticism and questioning of his leadership abilities.

On forums like Twitter and Facebook, countless Gator fans have demanded Driskel’s immediate removal from the starting lineup, believing true freshman quarterback Treon Harris is the ultimate solution for a offense currently ranked 13th in the SEC. “There’s a lot (of criticism) out there, so you can’t really shield yourself from all of it,” Driskel said. “That’s just part of playing quarterback here. I’ve never been one to where that stuff gets to me whether its people saying you’re the best or you’re the worst. So you’ve just got to be even keel and keep moving forward.

“I’m grown. I can handle it.”

That increased maturation certainly shined through the last time Driskel led the Florida troops into Knoxville. As just a sophomore, the Gator signal caller torched UT for 218 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns as then-No. 18 Florida routed the Vols 37-20.

With the third quarter clock winding down, Driskel

connected with ex-Gators and current Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed for a 30-yard touchdown pass — the late scoring pushing Florida ahead for good as it cruised to a fourth straight win in Knoxville.

“We pride ourselves on emptying the stadiums, so we just want to go in and play hard,” Driskel said. “Hopefully we get the same results as the last time we went in there.

“It’s going to be a great crowd, hostile environment.

We’re going to have to handle the crowd noise. That’s probably the loudest place I’ve played in.”

While Driskel stressed that “what happened in the past does not matter at all,” one aspect of his riveting 2012 performance could, in fact, spill over into Saturday’s contest.

Last time in Knoxville, the dual-threat Driskel scampered for 81 rushing yards on only eight attempts, part of a Florida ground effort that eclipsed the 300-yard mark on its way to the 17-point victory.

“I think his involvement in the run game will help our football team,” Florida head coach Will Muschamp told reporters Monday. “He’s a very good athlete, he’s a very good runner, and that’s something we’ll continue week-to-week depending on schematically what the other team is giving us. We’ll add him in the running game.”

Last Meeting Sept. 21, 2013 in Gainesville, Fla. Gators, 31-17 - In Nathan Peterman’s first career start, the Vols pulled out to an early 7-0 lead following a pick-six by Devaun Swafford. From there, though, it was all Florida due in large part to Tyler Murphy, who amassed 218 yards and two touchdowns in place of Jeff Driskel, who broke his foot in the contest.

TENNESSEE

Recruiting Vols’ offensive line to be tested once again versus UF Update Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)

Nathanael Rutherford Staff Writer (@Mr_Rutherford) This weekend will be one of the more important and busy recruiting weekends of the 2014 season as a large number of 2015 and 2016 targets plan to visit Neyland Stadium for Tennessee’s game against Florida.

Some of the prospects visiting this weekend are current UT commits who haven’t been on campus in quite some time, including the likes of fivestar defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie, five-star wide receiver Preston Williams, and recent commit four-star defensive end Darrell Taylor.

The bulk of the visitors this weekend, however, are uncommitted 2015 prospects who are highly rated and are high on Tennessee’s board with four-star linebacker/defensive end Ricky DeBerry, four-star cornerback Micah Abernathy, four-star defensive end Kyle Phillips, four-star running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn and fourstar linebacker Quarte Sapp all planning to attend.

The Vols will also have a contingent of players committed to other schools visiting, including four-star Florida State running back Johnny Frasier, four-star Virginia Tech cornerback Mook Reynolds, four-star Georgia offensive lineman Pat Allen and four-star Ole Miss cornerback Ugo Amadi all planning to attend.

For the last two games, the Tennessee Volunteers have leaned on two true freshmen to hunker down the right side of their offensive line.

The results, though, haven’t exactly gone the way senior quarterback Justin Worley hoped.

In Coleman Thomas’ first career start against Oklahoma, the Sooners’ Eric Striker abused the freshman right tackle as he wreaked havoc on the Vols’ backfield and punished Justin Worley numerous times – even though he failed to get a sack, he did record three quarterback hurries.

When UT traveled to Athens, Georgia, to take on the Bulldogs last Saturday, Worley once again took a beating from his right side and was forced out of the game for an extended period of time with an elbow injury.

The test for those two young linemen, however, is just beginning as the Florida Gators come to Knoxville on Saturday.

Enter Dante Fowler Jr., the Gators’ do-everything man who spearheads the defense with 13 tackles – a team-high three of which are for a loss – one sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and, most importantly, six quarterback hurries.

Fowler is no stranger to punishing UT signal callers. Last year in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the junior defensive lineman recorded three tackles for a loss, a sack and forced two fumbles, recovering one.

“He’s a tremendous player,” offensive line coach Don Mahoney said. “He’s a one-man wrecking crew who can rush the passer and defend the run. He’s

extremely athletic.

“He’s similar to (Jadeveon) Clowney in terms of I want to know where he is on the field.

And that’s the thing about their defensive structure, they do a great job and put him just about anywhere. So we have to account for him.”

And accounting for Fowler and the rest of the Gator front seven will be crucial if the Vols are looking to snap their nine-game losing streak to Florida.

But while the Vols are currently riding a two-game losing streak, their confidence heading into Saturday’s contest is higher than it has been in recent memory thanks to the belief in this program’s progress.

“You’re talking about a totally different football team,” head coach Butch Jones said. “Half of our football team wasn’t here, so they don’t have that experience to rely on. All I know about this football team is we have great competitive character. It’s very important to them.

“Every week is a new season in and of itself. It’s a new week. It’s a new opportunity.”

But this opportunity carries a little more weight to it as the Volunteer faithful have waited more than a decade to see the Vols slay the Gators.

In the 43rd matchup between the storied rivals, UT will have a chance to do just that.

“It would be huge,” Worley said. “I think we’ve been searching for that win, and we might have been pressing for that win. I think we just need to go out there and play our game, not worry about what’s happened in the past between these two teams, and just go out there and execute.”

Kickoff in Neyland Stadium is slated for noon, with the game being televised on the SEC Network.

FOOTBALL PICK ‘EM

Seiler a threat as Lady Vols look for signature win over UGA Jonathan Toye Staff Writer (@JonathanToye1)

FIRST PLACE

The Tennessee women’s soccer team has not shied away from David Cobb Senior Sports Columnist scheduling high-profile opponents this season, already having played Florida 27 at Tennessee 28 No. 6 Texas A&M at No. 12 Miss. State a grueling non-conference schedule which included foes such as No. 3 Alabama at No.11 Ole Miss Wisconsin, BYU and national title No. 14 Stanford at No.9 Notre Dame contender, Virginia.

No. 15 LSU at No. 5 Auburn Couple this non-conference This Year: 19-6 schedule with their gauntlet of highly-ranked conference opponents, and the Lady Vols have Dargan Southard Asst. Sports Editor one of the toughest schedules in the nation.

Florida 31 at Tennessee 23 The Lady Volunteers (6-5, 1-2 No. 6 Texas A&M at No. 12 Miss. State SEC) have yet to reap benefits No. 3 Alabama at No.11 Ole Miss from this tough 2014 schedule, No. 14 Stanford at No.9 Notre Dame however, as they have not secured No. 15 LSU at No. 5 Auburn a win over a ranked opponent.

All that could change, though, This Year: 19-6

when the Lady Vols travel to Athens, Georgia, this weekend to face the No. 20 Georgia Bulldogs (7-2-1, 2-1-1).

Tennessee will be trying to get back to .500 in SEC play and will also be looking to end its six-game losing streak against ranked opponents dating back to last year.

It is also an opportunity for the Lady Vols to get a signature win for the 2014 season.

“We need a big win, there is no question about it,” Tennessee women’s head soccer coach Brian Pensky said. “We have another opportunity Friday night at Georgia. We are excited for the opportunity and thankful for it.”

The Bulldogs are brimming with confidence thanks to their 1-0 road victory over No. 13 South Carolina last Sunday.

But according to Pensky,

Georgia’s big win over the Gamecocks was just the result his team wanted.

“We were pulling for Georgia last weekend, no disrespect to South Carolina,” Pensky said.

“But we were hoping they would knock South Carolina off.

It would improve their ranking and RPI, and we would have the opportunity to go down there and potentially knock them off.”

In order to knock Georgia off, Tennessee will have to keep an eye on Bulldogs midfielder Gabby Seiler.

Despite only being a sophomore, Seiler has already emerged as one of the SEC’s biggest stars.

She is third in the SEC in points with 18 and has contributed on 13 of Georgia’s 22 goals – five goals and eight assists.

UT freshman midfielder Carlyn Baldwin recognizes the

challenge Seiler presents to the Tennessee midfield.

“It will be high pressure for sure,” Baldwin said. “We have been working a lot in training just facing that pressure, so I am sure we will play through it. We have really good technical players and working on the tactics so I think we will be fine.”

Tennessee sophomore forward Amy Neal insists her team just needs to focus on playing its style of soccer in order to upset the Bulldogs.

“They are going to give us a lot of pressure,” Neal said, “so we need to keep the ball, not panic and just play Tennessee soccer.”

The Lady Vols’ match against the Bulldogs inside the Turner Soccer Complex will start at 7 p.m. EST Friday. UT will also face off against Auburn on the road Sunday at 3 p.m.

“

(W oodson)made a lot of

progress, but he still has a long way to go before he can come in and start dominating people like we want him to do.

“

-Josh Richardson Tyndall, however, was quick to point out that Woodson is far from seeing the court as a Vol. “As glad as we are that Dom has been cleared and will play this season, if we tipped it up today, he would not check in the game,” Tyndall said. “He’s got a million miles to go from a conditioning standpoint ... His work ethic has improved, but the consistency to work the right way isn’t there yet, and quite simply, guys are ahead of him.”

Woodson has already dropped “17-18 pounds” in his five weeks on campus, and

Tyndall said he would like to see him shed another 12-15 pounds.

If Woodson reaches his coaches’ desired weight, his presence will provide a boost to a UT roster lacking in size the Vols’ projected starting center is Willie Carmicheal, who stands at 6-foot-8, 210 pounds.

“He’d be our biggest guy, by far,” senior guard Josh Richardson said. “He’s made a lot of progress, but he still has a long way to go before he can come in and start dominating people like we want him to do.”

Lady Vols hope added comfort helps in SEC home opener Taylor White Staff Writer (@T_Dub98) After a rough start to the season, the Lady Vols volleyball team looks to bounce back strong this weekend in their SEC homeopening weekend.

Tennessee will host No. 21 Texas A&M on Friday night and a very hot Alabama team Sunday in Thompson-Boling Arena.

The Lady Vols (7-9, 0-2 SEC) opened SEC play with losses at Arkansas and Missouri last weekend, but they’re hoping to use that experience to get their season back on track.

“We just take the losses as a lesson learned,” sophomore outside hitter Jamie Lea said. “With being at home now, I think everyone is going to feel more comfortable, so it’s a big weekend for us as a team.”

Texas A&M (9-3, 1-0) is led by junior hitter Shelby Sullivan, a pre-season All-SEC performer

who is leading her team in kills, blocks and total points, and has established herself as one of the top players in the SEC. The Aggies have gotten off to a strong start this year, beating two top-25 teams in USC and San Diego, before sweeping their conference opener over Auburn last weekend. Texas A&M prides themselves on their defense, meaning serving will be more important than usual for Tennessee this weekend.

“They are very physical,” head coach Rob Patrick said. “They have very good middles that we’re going to have to slow down, so we’re gonna have to really do a great job in the serve and pass game and try to get them off balance a little bit with our serving.”

Alabama (14-2, 2-0) comes in unranked, but is one of the hottest teams in the country, winning its last nine games including wins over Georgia and LSU last weekend in dominating fashion.

Redshirt sophomore Krystal Rivers was a pre-season All-SEC

selection, and has lived up to that honor so far this year, leading her team in kills, aces and points. Her 263 total kills on the year ranks 12th in the country coming into this weekend’s match.

“She’s a great athlete with a couple years under her belt,” Patrick said. “She has a dynamic jump, and gets off the ground really quick with a really quick arm swing. Now that she’s got experience, she has more shots in her game. We’re not going to stop her, nobody has stopped her but we do have to slow her down a little.”

Playing a fundamentally sound game will be key to Tennessee’s success this weekend, as the talent level of the competition leaves almost no room for silly errors.

Athleticism and experience are the keys to the Crimson Tide’s success so far this year. The team has several starters who are in their third or fourth year with the program, and that kind of experience is crucial when playing in a conference like the SEC.

“They are very powerful at the net, and very quick off the ground,” Patrick said. “They have a lot of players that have started for several years, so a lot of that match is gonna be played at the net. We’re gonna have to slow them down at the net, because they are gonna be so physical with the athletes they have.”

Playing in the SEC isn’t easy in any sport, and volleyball is no exception. The conference sent six teams to the NCAA tournament last year, and currently has three teams ranked in the top 25.

Every match is a challenge in the SEC, and nobody can afford to take a game off.

“No off days whatsoever,” Lea said. “Sometimes it can be a little hard, you wanna sleep in a little bit, but that’s what we signed up for. We know what we have to do, and in the end we just have to play hard and get through it.”

Friday’s contest against Texas A&M starts at 7 p.m., and Sunday’s matchup versus Alabama will begin at 1:30 p.m.
