‘Breaking Bad’ actor advocates for disability rights Hannah Marley Staff Writer Crutches and wheelchairs aren’t a sign of disability -- they’re proof of strength in a challenging world.

RJ Mitte, known for his role as Walt “Flynn” Jr. on the hit AMC show “Breaking Bad,” discussed overcoming fear and adversity in the University Center Auditorium last Thursday.

Although Mitte’s witty and charismatic demeanor contradicts that of his character, a moody teenager, he and Walt share one thing in common: both have mild forms of cerebral palsy, a nervous system disorder that affects movement and communication.

However, despite going through years of therapy to overcome the physical effects of cerebral palsy, including a speech impediment and mobility problems with his legs, Mitte said that he does not consider himself disabled.

“I didn’t know I was disabled until people started asking what was wrong with me,” Mitte said.

SO CLOSE

Florida defensive back Keanu Neal intercepts senior quarterback Justin Worley to seal the Vols’ 10-9 loss to the Gators on Saturday.

Hayley Pennesi • The Daily Beacon

Vols haunted by red zone struggles in 10-9 loss to Gators Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB) Butch Jones summed it up with just a handful of words.

“Defensively, I thought we played well enough to win the football game,” Tennessee’s head coach Butch Jones

said. “But at the end of the day, you have to score touchdowns in the red zone and you can’t turn the football over.

“That’s pretty much the storyline.”

In total, Tennessee had four trips in the red zone but couldn’t convert any into touchdowns, settling for three field goals.

Freshman kicker Aaron Medley’s nine points, however, wasn’t enough, as Florida (3-1, 2-1 SEC) overcame a fourth quarter deficit to hand the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2) a heartbreaking 10-9 loss to push their winless streak against the Gators to 10 games.

But even with their offense struggling to find the end zone, the Vols controlled the momentum for the majority of the contest thanks in large part to their defense, who limited the Gators to just 232 yards and forced them to punt a season-high eight times.

That is until the Gators defense finally left their mark. With eight seconds remaining in the third quarter, Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor came off the edge, sacked senior quarterback Justin Worley and jarred the ball loose, with the fumble eventually being recovered by Tabor.

“Usually I do a good job of feeling pressure,” Worley said. “But with him coming from so far out there, I just didn’t know he was coming and I should have.”

Haslam family donates $50 million to UT Hayley Brundige News Editor (@hayleybrundige)

Big orange, big ideas sometimes needs a little help from big donations.

Chancellor Jimmy Cheek announced the Haslam family donated $50 million in gift money to the university, at the monthly Board of Trustees meeting in Hollingsworth Auditorium Friday.

James A. Haslam II, founder of the Pilot Corporation and UT alumnus, made the donation to the College of Business Administration to develop the college by attracting approximately four to six new distinguished faculty members, providing scholarship money and improving the quality of the program.

“The future of our state really lies here, at the University of Tennessee,” Haslam said at Friday’s meeting. “If we’re going to have a vibrant economy we must have an outstanding College of Business.”

After being put to a vote

by the 26-member Board of Trustees, the College of Business Administration was officially renamed the James A. Haslam II College of Business. While the Haslam name is already prominent on many buildings and structures on UT’s campus, this naming marks the first time in UT’s history that an entire college has been dedicated to an individual.

Haslam, who graduated from the college in 1952, said he wanted to bolster the program that started his subsequent career with Pilot.

“Thank you, the University of Tennessee, for making us the family we are today,” Haslam said.

UT system President Joe DiPietro thanked the Haslams for their generous donation, and stressed the impact of their many contributions over the years.

“I often say that we want our graduates to emerge from any of our campuses or institutions feeling like they owe the institution a debt they can never repay,” DiPietro said, addressing the Haslams. “Jim and Natalie, I think you’ve repaid it.”

Judah & the Lion bring upbeat performance to The Square Room

Nashville based American-folk band Judah & the Lion brought a high-energy, passionate performance to a sold out audience at The Square Room Thursday night It was their second stop on their tour for their first full album “Kids These Days,” but the band played a mix of songs from their new album as well as their two previous EP’s, “First Fruits” and “Sweet Tennessee.”

They performed with a contagious level of excitement and enthusiasm that the audience couldn’t help but respond to.

Opening band Penny and Sparrow started the night of with calming music that immediately quieted the crowd with haunting, melodic songs, yet kept the atmosphere light by exchanging witty comments and lighthearted jokes.

Although the audience seemed somewhat somber when Judah & the Lion took the stage, the band instantly captured the crowd’s attention.

North Korean lecture discusses public change Tanner Hancock Copy Editor

RJ Mitte spent some time meeting with fans after his speech Thursday. Jessie Tipton • The Daily Beacon

MITTE continued from Page 1 He noted that he never allowed his condition, or other people’s preconceived ideas about what he was capable of doing, hinder him from achieving his goals, including walking without crutches and becoming an actor.

“I didn’t allow people to instill fear into who I was and who I am,” Mitte said. “I’ve never let ‘no’ and doubt fuel my actions.”

The only true disability, he said, is succumbing to a fear of failure.

Natalie Bennett, vice chair of Issues Committee, the organization which brought Mitte to campus, and junior in College

Scholars, said she hopes students who attended the event “take time to understand where people are coming from,” and develop a greater understanding of what it’s like to live with a disability.

Allison Gose, a senior in history who suffers from muscular dystrophy, related to Mitte’s talk and said she experienced the same fear and doubts from her family and friends when she first considered attending the University of Tennessee four years ago.

“Going to college, coming here, a lot of people said that wasn’t ever going to happen,” Gose said.

“Especially UT, instead of going to Pellissippi first, or MTSU, because I was going to fail.”

Through “Breaking Bad’s”

popularity over the past few years, Mitte has been able to advocate and spread awareness for cerebral palsy and for people with disabilities through the National Disability Association, United Cerebral Palsy and Inclusion in the Arts and Media of Performers With Disabilities.

“I’m lucky to be a part of these organizations and make a difference,” Mitte said.

He hopes that through his involvement in these organizations, he can help draw attention to disabled people and actors, working to promote an accurate portrayal of this population on television.

Gose said this kind of awareness is crucial.

“It’s very important that you know that people with

disabilities are individuals,” she said. “You need to go in with an open mind and treat them the way you would treat anyone else, see them as a person and realize they have a whole backstory.”

Mitte applies the reality of living with a disability to the disabled characters he often portrays, focusing first on the character as an individual with a “heart and soul” before considering a specific ailment. “(Disabled people) may happen to be in a chair or have crutches, but they’re not disabled,” he said. “They’re real people, they’re strong people, they have lives, they fight for what they believe in and who they are.

“That’s not a disability.”

In the face of famine, torture and oppression, hope prevails.

Students gathered Friday night to attend a presentation from Liberty in North Korea on the struggle for freedom and change within the communist nation. Sponsored

by UT’s Korean Student Association, the talk detailed the suffering of the North Korean people while emphasizing the grassroots movement to establish change within the country.

Liberty in North Korea is a nonprofit organization that works to raise awareness of the plight of the average North Korean citizen and rescue and reintegrate those who escaped the country.

Shellie Palmer, LINK intern and the main speaker of the evening, brought attention to an issue she described as “one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today.”

As a part of their ‘jangmadong’ tour, the presentation focused on the widespread discontent with the Kim regime among the millennial generation of North Koreans.

“They grew up seeing the government not as a provider, but as an obstacle to get around,” Palmer said of the younger generation, whose exposure to the outside world through illegally smuggled media has helped to reshape their outlook on life.

Taylor Teachout, also an intern with LINK, hopes to reshape the harmful miscon-

ceptions surrounding the hermit kingdom through her work.

“When most people think about North Korea, they think ‘crazy dictator and weapons,’” Teachout said.

“They don’t think about the 24 million people that are stuck inside of this really repressive regime.”

Johnny Rho, senior in biological sciences and member of the Korean Student Association, felt encouraged by the positive changes occurring within North Korea. “(The event) was really eye opening,” Rho said. “It was awesome to see all the changes going on in North Korea and how people are beginning to think for themselves.”

While Rho found the information to be enlightening, he still recognized the necessity for public awareness in order to facilitate change.

“The really important step in this whole process is for the public to be more aware of this situation,” Rho said.

LINK showcased video testimonies of North Korean refugees and highlighted the horrors of the totalitarian government in an effort to raise enough funds to rescue another 200 North Koreans from the repressive country.

Citing LINK’s efforts to rescue North Korean refugees from China, Teachout hopes to inspire widespread action through education.

“A lot of people think, ‘North Korea, there’s nothing I can do about that because it’s so shut off,’” Teachout said. “No matter what your talent is, you can be an agent for change.”

Panel discusses Amendent One, anticipates upcoming elections Christine Vanek Contributor

A lawyer, a reverend and two doctors gathered in the University Commons to start a conversation about women’s rights in Tennessee.

The panelists discussed the potential effects that the proposed amendment to the Tennessee Constitution could have on women’s health in the state if passed by the general populace after the Nov. 4 vote.

Amendment One reads, “Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion. The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother.”

The women who spoke on this issue last Thursday night strongly encouraged the audience to vote no on Amendment One. Wanda Sobieski, a panelist Thursday night who has been practicing law in Knoxville for

TRUSTEES continued from Page 1 During the monthly board meeting, DePietro explained that a recent decrease in state funding has placed more emphasis on private donations such as Haslam’s.

“Our system will continue to need even more people like the Haslam family to make us the institution -- collectively, across all components -- to be exceptionally excellent and exceed everyone’s expectations,” DiPietro said.

In his President’s Report, DiPietro detailed UT’s increased emphasis on fundraising in

30 years, expressed concern at the ambiguity of the amendment.

“This is a dangerous amendment because it is confusing and it is not clear as to what it does,” Sobieski said.

If Amendment One passes, women in Tennessee could be at risk of losing their voluntary access to contraceptives like birth control and Plan B. Sobieski pointed out how discriminatory the amendment is toward women.

“Could you imagine a law being passed that Viagra and similar drugs couldn’t be prescribed unless they are to married (couples) only and only with the permission of their wives?” Sobieski asked.

Susan Dodd, an OBGYN and panelist, said this amendment would only put women at higher risk of infection and death due to women seeking out unregulated forms of abortion behind closed doors. Dodd, who has practiced in Knoxville for the past 27 years, said she has known many women who have carried out illegal abortions and suffered extremely negative consequences as a result.

“If we outlaw abortion, it won’t stop abortion.” Dodd said. “Rich women will go to

Atlanta and will get a safe abortion. The women who don’t have means or money, they will go to a back alley.”

Supporters of the amendment often claim that abortion clinics in Tennessee are unsafe and unregulated. However, Dodd stated that all seven clinics in East Tennessee are regularly inspected and subject to surprise visits from state healthcare officials.

Afterwards there was a Q&A in regards to Amendment One. A question came up if there would be exceptions for abortion in cases of rape or incest.

Sobieski said this gives the legislators the power to make no exceptions, and anything that prevents a pregnancy, even condoms, could be a possibility.

Kayla Frye, junior in global studies and co-chair of the Sexual Health Advisory Group, actively opposes the amendment and helps to raise awareness on the issue, particularly among students. Frye uses various methods and hosts events to spread information on the amendment leading up to the Nov. 4 vote. “(I was) very happy to see the number of people getting involved with phonebanking and tabling,” Frye said after the panel.

response to the declining state financial support for higher education. Cheek echoed this sentiment, stating that UT’s budget for the development of alumni networks has been increased by 65% since 2005. Events like the Big Orange Give, which has a goal of $250,000 this year, bring in a large sum of outside funding for the university.

In addition to fundraising, DiPietro stated that UT’s new “business model” to generate revenue independently of the state will also put more focus on improving UT’s reputation as a research institute, increasing graduation rates to 85 to 90 percent and growing outreach.

“It’s pretty evident that we have to change,” DiPietro said.

“We can’t be the same in five to 10 years, and while we’d love to count on increased state resources ... but we need to be able to move forward regardless of whether it does or not.”

Steve Mangum, dean of the newly dedicated Haslam College of Business, was thrilled by the news.

“In terms of naming the college you really do have to think about the generations of students that pass through the institution in the future, and it’s extremely important that the name that goes over the door be a name that we can be proud of and students can look up to and can be inspired by that name.

“And that’s certainly the case today.”

Mamma Mia brings delight to mothers and daughters alike Hannah Zechman Contributor

Judah Akers, frontman of Judah and the Lion, sings on Oct. 2 at The Square Room.

Kristen Bright • The Daily Beacon

JUDAH & THE LION continued from Page 1 They tapped into the underlying excitement of the room by firing into their first song “Kickin’ Da Leaves,” with an eagerness and zeal they maintained throughout the night’s performance.

In between songs, lead singer Judah Akers encouraged the crowd to sing-along, dance and engage in the music with them.

“Don’t be afraid to get weird,” he said laughing, “but don’t get too weird.”

Akers explained the inspiration for some of his songs, particularly ones with strong spiritual ties. He wrote “Back’s Against the Wall” for his mother while she was going through a difficult time, finding encouragement from her strength and faith.

Though it’s not uncom-

mon for Southern bands to sing about faith, Judah & the Lion intentionally took time during their performance to direct attention to their spiritual roots, the basis for many of their songs. During their performance of “Scared,” the band-mates held up signs that read, “Fear not, He is here,” speaking at separate times about their faith and their love of writing praise songs.

Other numbers, such as “Southern Ground,” and “Mason-Dixon Line,” denoted the other side of their Southern pride. Akers even gave a shoutout to loyal Vol fans during “Sweet Tennessee,” saying, “Even through all the losses you don’t lose hope and you keep cheering,” right before bursting into the bridge that sang, “She won’t give up on me.”

Most of the songs from their new album clearly reflect

where the band members are personally and are especially relatable to their main, collegeaged audience. Songs such as “Twenty-Somethings” and “Rich Kids” are about being young, full of life, short on cash and unsure about the future while still living to the fullest and embracing that season of life.

Being a Vol fan himself, Akers has deep-set affection for Knoxville and expressed his enjoyment of headlining The Square Room.

“Like I said, I’m from Cookeville, so Knoxville really is like coming home,” Akers shared. “Here at The Square Room in particular, everybody just makes it fun. Everybody who has come to the show is so nice and super supportive.

“When you’re doing something like music, that’s just a really special thing.”

Film series to illustrate LGBT rights movement Contributor Learning LGBT history is as easy as getting together to watch a movie with friends.

The OUTreach Center will host its annual film series for LGBT History Month every Monday night this October to highlight different aspects of the LGBT rights movement.

Donna Braquet, director of the OUTreach Center, believes this year will be more exciting than previous years, not only because of the return of requested film favorites, but also some new ones.

“I think it opens up a space for dialogue for us to talk about these things that aren’t seen every day, and it gives students who are living in a time where LGBT issues are becoming more and more accepted ... it gives them a perspective of how we have gotten to this point,” Braquet said.

Documentaries scheduled this year include the popular “Stonewall Uprising” concerning the violent protests following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn. “The Celluloid Closet,” another scheduled documentary, illustrates how LGBT people are stereotyped in Hollywood as either the “sissy” role or being entirely censored.

Finally, “Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton’s Cafeteria” details a lesser known point in history when transgender people and drag

queens fought against police harassment and discrimination in San Fransisco three years before the infamous Stonewall Riots.

The goal of LGBT History Month on campus is to expose the UT community to an unfamiliar part of history, regardless of the audience’s sexual orientation.

“I really enjoyed last year’s movie series,” sophomore in biology Kumail Ibraheem said.

“I will attend this year because it is interesting and more spe-

cific to queer culture, which I belong to and enjoy learning more about.”

This film series will allow people to understand the struggles of the LGBT community, past and present.

“It’s nice to find media representations of these issues and also see a different perspective instead of my own,” Ibraheem said.

The series will open Monday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. in Hodges Room 253 with “Stonewall Uprising.”

If go-go boots and Greek culture had a musical baby, they would have named it “Mamma Mia!” The sing-along musical returned to the Tennessee Theatre this past weekend to please yet another crowd of moms reliving their past.

The show is set on an island in Greece where a wedding is about to take place, foreshadowing a beautiful show packed full of color and life. Add in the disco-fever music courtesy of ABBA, and you’ve got yourself a raging flashback ready to shake it.

One mother, one daughter and three potential fathers provide the conflict at hand, taking the audience on a journey throughout the musical.

Sophie, played by an energetic Chelsea Williams, tries to figure out which man of the three will walk her down the aisle. Donna, the mother, spends the show trying to keep the people she loves and the hotel she runs from falling to pieces while these three men from her past send her world spinning. Played by the brilliant Georgia Kate Haege, Donna brings the setting and characters together to form the atmosphere of Greek chaos just days before the wedding.

Minimalism was used in the sets to help support the setting. Brilliantly, there was one major set piece that turned back and forth but took on the image of a different room each time. The actors that played the “staff” in the musical moved each set piece, including small props, during transitions into new scenes.

This created a seemingly endless flow between set changes,

making it seem like the show and the people in it were actually living this sparkly, dramatic life right in front of you.

And the characters in “Mamma Mia!” are fun and relatable. Living out a series of humorous and traumatic events, each actor brought their own flavor to their character.

Clean and crisp, “Mamma Mia!” allowed for enjoyable moments to occur around every corner. It was inappropriately funny in appropriate ways for all ages. Every joke is recognized by an outburst of audience laughter and clapping, making the musical fun for the actors as well.

And having fun is what this show is all about.

Audience members were encouraged to get up and dance and to sing as loudly as they wanted. There was even a

sing-along with the characters at the end of the show.

Morphing present with past, this musical created a truly unique experience. Every moment had meaning and touched every heart in the audience.

Cheesy, yes, but “Mamma Mia!” is an unforgettable show.

Going to see musicals, plays and concerts are about getting transported to a different world for a short time.

Personal lives can become too much to bear and release is needed.

“Mamma Mia!” sends everyone home with that release.

So, whether you lived in the age of the “Dancing Queen,” or you just really like to have a good time with random strangers, “Mamma Mia!” is definitely a perfect match for you.

Caution: the songs will get stuck in your head.

Free our food The Workshop by

Thomas Carpenter Before I even stepped foot on this campus as a freshman, I was given the task of choosing a mandatory meal plan. I can’t say that I was especially excited to choose the meal plan that would stick with me for the duration of my first year of college, but I certainly understood the gravity of it.

It didn’t dawn on me until the end of my second semester that my $300 Dining Dollar plan was just too much to spend in one semester, so I just ended up buying pizza for all of my classes since there was no hope of any rollover. It felt extremely wasteful, but hey, how was I supposed to know which meal plan to get before I even lived here? I quickly learned my lesson and got the heck off of campus for my primary source of food. The grocery store turned out to be a much cheaper and healthier alternative than any meal plan UT could offer me.

Now, I’m not saying UT Dining is not trying to win you over and get you to spend money on campus. It is, however, doing a mediocre job at best. Their latest attempt at changing our dining experience on campus, the infamous Mandatory Meal Plan, failed miserably after it was first proposed to the Student Senate. So, after going back to the drawing board, what they brought back doesn’t look much different; but it seems inevitable nonetheless.

Last semester when discussing the new meal plan, Vice Chancellor Jeff Maples said that any restaurant on the Strip wanting to accept Vol Cards will be able to do so in the near future. This went over very well since it was an initiative SGA has been pushing for years. What’s a bit vague, however, is that this might mean you could use your All Star, your dining dollars or both. He really didn’t specify at the time.

Regardless, as I learned after attending the most recent Cumberland Avenue Merchants Association meeting, that story has changed. Every single merchant in attendance at the meeting said it would help their business incredibly to be able to accept Dining Dollars, which makes complete sense. So, why is it that we can’t use our Dining Dollars on the Strip, when both students and restaurant owners want it?

The answer is Aramark and money.

Aramark recently opened up two locations on the Strip: Panda Express and Raising Cane’s. These have so far seemed pretty successful, and if students are using and enjoying it, I’m glad it’s there. But there are some negative consequences for local business owners. Since the land is owned by the university, and therefore the state, Aramark has the privilege of operating without paying nearly as much in taxes as its neighbors right down the street. That, in turn, leads to more profits for Aramark and UT and less for places like OCI and Sunspot. Now, I really don’t have a problem with the university turning a profit off of Dining Services, but it certainly should not be a priority over student interests.

Opening up the use of Dining Dollars at locations on the Strip is the right thing to do for students. If the university wants to leverage a new fee on their already overcharged students, fine, but it would be extremely unfair to do so without giving students some sort of benefit out of it. And no, new dining facilities that won’t be completed until 2019 don’t count.

So, Dining Services, do the right thing. Give students the opportunity to spend their money how they want, while also supporting a struggling group of restaurants and bars that are as much a part of our university community as you are.

Appreciating the knowledge and convenience of Hodges Life Under the Microscope by

Kenna Rewcastle If there’s one thing that could bring everyone involved in research at UT together, regardless of their field of study, it’s the quality of our library system.

Freshman year, the library served one purpose for me: a place to isolate myself and study regardless of the time of day.

What’s more, the in-house Starbucks fed my caffeine addiction, keeping me awake when the pseudo-meat locker temperatures of the stacks failed to do so.

The library’s selling features at that point in my educational career were big tables, dedicated quiet floors and really wonderful views of the sun rising over The Hill when I had sentenced myself to all-nighters.

But those features are the features of the building itself and are probably available at the libraries of every other major public research university. My appreciation for

For a field ecology project, an online search of the stacks turned up seven different field guides that my colleagues and I needed by the next day. The library collected these books, pulling material from the Ag Campus library and the main library, and delivered them to the EEB office, again in less than 24 hours.

Maybe the crux of your research is finding material on a certain topic in the first place. Have no fear, the UT Library System has a dedicated fleet of librarians that will assist you in navigating through online databases and the stacks to find the information needed to further your research.

The library provides group meeting rooms and classrooms, and hosts thoughtprovoking lectures in its auditorium.

Student artwork is featured on every floor, while themed displays of relevant reading material are placed around seating areas and study tables.

While the doors to Hodges may be heavy, prying them open will reveal an invaluable resource of knowledge.

A place to call home: a brief history of Neyland Stadium Brick

by Brick by

Tor Voorhees Neyland Stadium, the home of the Volunteers, has a rich history involving renovations and reconstructions stretching from 1921 to today.

Interestingly, while the modern day Neyland may seem up-to-date and progressive in its architectural design, it is based around many historical structures that all faithfully served the university’s athletic department in the past.

Originally, the Tennessee football team did not even have a field of their own. The team, not yet known as the Volunteers, played at a location called Baldwin Park.

This area, located in the present day Fort near Grand Avenue, was played on until 1909 when the Tennessee team moved to Wait Field located on present day 15th Street. Although the team had moved to a slightly better facility, it still was not their own; leaving the Tennessee team without an actual home field.

This all changed in 1919 when Colonel W.S. Shields first proposed the idea of a dedicated athletic facility for use by the then burgeoning university. In essence, Shields was proposing what would later

become Neyland Stadium.

After supplying the initial capital for the facility that would be christened Shields-Watkins Field, the lower level of the current stadium’s west stands were completed in March 1921.

The name was a combination of Shield’s surname as well as his wife’s maiden name. The field within Neyland stadium retains the name to this day.

After many renovations and additions to the original field, the resulting complex was named Neyland Stadium in 1962 in honor of General Robert Neyland, who had been both the athletic director and head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers between the years of 1926 and 1952. His involvement with the team was later accredited to the initial national recognition garnered by the Volunteers.

Although the stadium was small by today’s standards, it was massive compared to the complex that had been used

by Robert Neyland when he first began his work with the Tennessee team.

During General Neyland’s involvement with the football program, the stadium’s capacity jumped to more than 14 times its previous capacity; becoming a jewel of the university campus.

Before his death, Robert Neyland designed and proposed what would later become the largest individual renovation in Neyland Stadium’s history and the basis for every renovation since.

Most recently, Neyland Stadium went under a historic overhaul, amounting to a more than $130 million investment in the aging structure. Beginning in 2004, the renovations ultimately included the beautification of the exterior of the stadium, a reconfiguration of seating areas, a new home locker room and new varsity rooms.

All of this earned Neyland Stadium recognition in 2004 by Sports Illustrated, who said that the University of Tennessee campus and the surrounding Knoxville area could supply the best college football weekend experience in the country.

Undoubtedly, most students would still agree with this sentiment.

Shields-Watkins field originally was only able to hold 3,200 individuals in its singular set of grandstand seating.

Neyland, as it stands today, can hold over 102,000 screaming fans in relative comfort.

The entire structure has a history as deep and rich as any other at the University of Tennessee, and its importance to campus culture is difficult to overstate. However, regardless of its historical importance, Neyland serves first and foremost as a place of companionship where fellow Volunteers can cherish their incredible school together.

EDITORIAL

what makes our library unique has steadily grown as I’ve become more invested in research. And throughout my time here, the library has continuously supported my endeavors.

The hallmark of a library system isn’t simply storing vast quantities of knowledge, but allowing students and faculty members to access those academic treasures. The UT Library System does just that.

When my friends were faced with producing attractive media for SGA campaigns and new programs on campus, they turned to the software tutorial sessions hosted by the library’s staff. After learning how to use iMovie at one such session, the library loaned me the equipment to film video projects. I borrowed a Mac adapter to present this video during class.

When I was in Sweden preparing a proposal for a Fulbright Fellowship on lichen, I threw my hands up in exasperation after finding that a book I needed couldn’t be accessed online. Then, I clicked a magical button and requested scanned chapters from that lichenology textbook. And presto! They were emailed to me in less than 24 hours. Problem solved.

Lady Vols volleyball falls to Crimson Tide Trenton Duffer Contributor

The Lady Vols did battle against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Sunday in their second SEC home game.

After getting the upper hand early against the Lady Vols, the Crimson Tide snuck by the Lady Vols in four sets, 25-15, 25-20, 20-25, 29-27.

After Tennessee (7-11, 0-4 SEC) tied the first set 1-1, Alabama (15-3, 3-1 SEC) seemed to get in a rhythm, with The Tide stretching their lead to 18-9 at one point. The Lady Vols came out unprepared for Alabama’s AllAmerican Krystal Rivers, who had five kills in the first set alone. Rivers would end up with 12 kills on the day.

The second set showed the Lady Vols fight back, as Tennessee jumped out to a 5-2 lead early before letting Alabama score three straight points to tie it up.

Five lead changes and four ties later, the Crimson Tide had the lead, 12-11. After this, the Tide slowly began pulling away. Jamie Lea was impressive the first two sets, smashing eight kills and having a hitting percentage of 0.800.

“We had a nice talk at the halftime,� head coach Rob Patrick said. “What we talked about was if we could cut down on some unforced errors on our side of the net, we were gonna be okay. “When we were playing the game of volleyball, we were playing with Alabama. We were just making some unforced errors in every area of the game.�

The third set showed the Lady Vols playing tremendous volleyball. UT only trailed twice in the entire set, and that was when Alabama led the Lady Vols 2-1 and 3-2. However, after a 3-3 tie, the Lady Vols would go on a 7-2 run to take a 10-5 lead over the Tide. Alabama would pull within two at 13-11, but the Lady Vols turned on the jets, eventually winning the set 25-20.

Shealyn Kolosky killed five balls in the set to help push her team forward. “As a team, we were a little more organized, and we came together a little bit more,� Kolosky said.

Patrick added, “We cleaned up our side of the net, and we played consistently, and we scored some points.�

The fourth set was full of comeback and heartbreak for the Lady Vols. Alabama

continued from Page 1 From there, it was all Gators.

On the ensuing drive, junior running back Matt Jones punched in the only touchdown of the game from two yards out. And after forcing the Vols to punt on the following drive, the Gators proceeded to drive the ball 49 yards to set up what would be Austin Hardin’s gamewinning 49-yard field goal.

The Vols, however, had one last opportunity to get past the Gators with 2:39 remaining in the game.

And after Worley was able to find Alton “Pig� Howard to convert on fourth-and-10 – the second late down conversion to Howard on the drive – it seemed like the Vols had all the momentum.

Then, Worley’s next pass found the hands of Florida defensive back Keanu Neal and just like that, UT’s fate was sealed. “It was a tight window and I was trying to fit it in,� Worley said. “I might’ve thrown it a little bit early and overshot him a bit.�

But if the Gators’ fourth quarter resurgence was fueled by that late fumble, it was sustained because of freshman quarterback Treon Harris.

After starting quarterback Jeff Driskel couldn’t manage to put any points on the board in 11 drives for the Gators, Florida head coach Will Muschamp decided a change was needed.

Harris provided the spark for the Gators, despite only rushing for 24 yards on four carries while throwing for an additional 17 yards on 2-of-4 passing in his three drives under center. “Having a mobile quarterback created more gaps with the running back lead blocking,� redshirt linebacker Curt Maggitt said. “Guys had to get off the blocks, making plays. It was a change of pace for us, definitely.�

Driskel finished the day with 59 yards and three interceptions on 11-of-23 passing.

Ultimately, the offensive line’s inability to contain Florida’s front seven was the reason for the Vols’ offensive ineptitude. Worley was sacked six times in the contest – the same amount that the Gators defense had coming into the contest – and wasn’t given enough time against a stingy UF secondary.

Running backs Marlin Lane and Jalen Hurd – who suffered a shoulder injury in the game – also weren’t given any holes to run through, as the duo combined for only 51 yards rushing on 20 carries. “I’m going to get hit and I’m going to bounce back from it,â€? Worley said. “ ‌ We’ve got to do a better job up front at times, but those guys fought hard and did a great job at other times.

We just have to develop some consistency.�

The loss extends the Vols’ current losing streak versus the Gators to 10 games, and the response to falling just short against their biggest rival was as expected. “Everyone hurts,� sophomore linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin said. “Our young guys hurt, our old guys hurt. It’s a rivalry game, we don’t like Florida. So everyone is hurting in the locker room right now.�

Tennessee will be looking to end their current three-game losing streak when they host the Chattanooga Mocs for their Homecoming game Oct. 11 at 4 p.m.

quickly jumped out to a 9-3 lead, but Patrick rallied his troops. Slowly, but surely, the Lady Vols chipped away at the Tide’s lead.

Soon enough, it was tied up, 17-17.

After a back and forth for the next 12 points, the Tide slammed home a kill that proved to be the final blow for the Lady Vols, as they lost the set 29-27.

Discouraged but hopeful, Coach Patrick said he was still very proud of his team.

“They really made Alabama work extremely hard to win each point, and that’s what we wanna do,�

Patrick said. “We’re getting closer and closer to playing at full match consistency.�

Jamie Lea led the Lady Vols in kills with 11, the only Lady Vol with double-digit kills. Bridgette Villano had 16 digs in this match, her most since Sept. 18 against Memphis.

Kelsey Bawcombe chimed in with six kills and eight

digs.

Lexi Dempsey is now only five assists away from the 1500 career assist mark after having 25 against the Tide.

The Lady Vols will be able to rest until Oct. 10, when they square off against the No. 13 Kentucky Wildcats. This will be the third straight match at home for the Lady Vols. The match starts at 7 p.m. Friday.

The Lady Vols, however, had an opportunity to redeem themselves on Sunday in a matchup against Auburn, but instead couldn’t find the net as Tennessee and the Tigers battled to 0-0 tie after two overtime periods.

After a scoreless first half saw the Tigers outshoot the Lady Vols 6-5, both teams had their chances in the second half.

The best chance, however, came when Auburn’s

Alex Massey broke loose up the middle in the 80th minute for a one-on-one with Simmons, but UT’s junior goalkeeper made a terrific diving save to her right to prevent the goal.

The Tigers applied pressure late in regulation and the Lady Vol back line survived a barrage of AU shots in the closing minutes. Auburn had three corner kicks in the final six minutes of the game and a UT foul set up a Tiger free kick in the 88th minute, but the Tennessee defense held to force overtime.

Tennessee opened overtime in aggressive fashion, as junior Susan Ferguson dribbled up the right side and made a move before firing a shot that hooked right of the right post at the last second in the 92nd minute.

UT had four shots in the second overtime period.

Tennessee’s best look came in the 104th minute when McClung sent a cross into the box from the left side and Christy connected for a header that went wide right of the top right shelf.

After generating more buzz than ever with his 119-yard, one-touchdown performance last Saturday at Georgia, Jalen Hurd came back down to Earth versus the Gators. UT head coach Butch Jones said the heralded freshman running back did have a “nicked up” shoulder that caused him to miss a chunk of time in the second half, but Hurd still only managed 39 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Meanwhile, Marlin Lane’s role in the UT offense continues to diminish more and more as the weeks go by. Devrin Young was a small bright spot. -Dargan Southard

The Vols’ receiving corps couldn’t get any separation against the Gators’ secondary, which resulted in seven receivers combining for a mediocre 187 yards. The lone bright spot, however, was Alton “Pig” Howard, who hauled in six catches for 79 yards, including two crucial late-down conversions as the Vols went for a potential go-ahead score. -TPH

We know it’s inexperienced. We know it has an all-freshman right side. We know it’s a glaring weakness for the Vols as a whole. But even so, UT’s offensive line can’t keep churning out performances like Saturday if Jones is to take the Vols bowling. Once again, Worley was abused in the pocket – Florida’s defense racked up a season-high six sacks –and UT’s rushing attack mustered less than one yard per carry. -DS

Derek Barnett continues to make his case for being a Freshman All-American. The Nashville, Tennessee native, who recorded the first sack of his career, led the way for a defensive line that continually put pressure on UF quarterbacks Jeff Driskel and Treon Harris. Florida, however, did have good success running the football, racking up 158 yards on the ground. -TPH

Defensive anchors A.J. Johnson and Jalen-Reeves Maybin continued their dominance in the middle of UT’s defense, combining for 22 tackles – two for loss – and one interception.

Meanwhile, reserve linebacker Chris Weatherd racked up his first-career sack as he took down Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel for a 10-yard loss late in third quarter. -DS

Teams keep throwing towards sophomore cornerback Cam Sutton, and Sutton keeps making them pay. The Jonesboro, Georgia native recorded his third interception of the season and added three pass breakups as the leader of a UT secondary that only allowed 76 yards passing. On a day where the Vols lost, this coverage unit did more than enough to help its team win. -TPH

A

Special Teams

B+

Justin Worley had his worst performance of the season but little of that was his fault.

Florida’s front seven ran a rough shot through Tennessee’s offensive line and gave Worley little time to find anybody against an already stout UF secondary. A late interception on the Vols last opportunity doesn’t look good either, but even that could be blamed on the big guys up front. -Troy Provost-Heron

Freshman kicker Aaron Medley provided one of the few bright spots for UT, banging home field goals of 36, 38 and 39 yards for the Vols’ only points of the afternoon. In addition, senior punter Matt Darr averaged 43 yards per punt on eight attempts – one of which went for a career-long 61 yards. -DS

Week 5 GPA: The Vols earn a football GPA of 2.25 for their performance in a 10-9 loss to Florida. Cumulative GPA: Through five games, UT holds a cumulative GPA of 2.76, falling further away from recovering their HOPE scholarship.

Jumbotron picture glorifies Jones prematurely

David Cobb Senior Sports Columnist (@DavidWCobb) Butch Jones may lead Tennessee to SEC championships, national titles and unimaginable glory.

Perhaps next season the Vols will start a 10-game winning streak against Florida built from the fury of Saturday’s soul-crushing 10-9 loss to the Gators at Neyland Stadium.

In fact, 30 years from now, UT might immortalize Jones in statue form for his achievements, as it did for Pat Summitt and Robert Neyland.

He may also take another job or get fired before most students here obtain a degree. Just look at his two most recent predecessors, Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley.

In the meantime - while the hypothetical situations work themselves out into reality - Jones does not deserve to be gloriously enshrined on the most recognizable structure in the state of Tennessee.

As of Thursday, he is.

UT replaced the iconic image of former coach Phillip Fulmer hoisting a national championship trophy with a photo of Jones on the back of the Neyland Stadium jumbotron.

Next to him are Robert Neyland (you know, the guy the stadium is named after) and Reggie White, one of the best defenders in UT history and a phenomenal ambassador for the program until his death in 2004.

An image of Condredge Holloway, the first black quarterback at UT and in the SEC,

appeared on the jumbotron as well until the photo of White replaced it.

Adding Jones to that group is like carving out a space on Mount Rushmore for a United States president less than two years into his first term.

All for a coach, who at the moment, is 7-10 (2-8 SEC) with wins against Austin Peay, Western Kentucky, South Alabama, Utah State, Arkansas State, Kentucky and a single notable victory over South Carolina.

Jones pleaded for patience after UT’s loss Saturday, and he deserves it from fans and the athletic department.

What he doesn’t deserve is to be crowned as Tennessee’s redeemer before substantial evidence that he is turns up on the field.

But that’s what placing him next to the most famous person in program history does, even if unintentionally.

It is possible to buy into Jones

and what he is attempting to do at UT without selling out on the tradition which makes the football program special to begin with.

Putting Jones on the scoreboard at this stage in his tenure at UT takes it too far, too fast.

Extra point: If you get a chance to walk or drive past Neyland Stadium today, do it. The homecoming banners will make it worth your time.

Specifically, the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Kappa Sigma fraternity created a beautiful banner commemorating Bobby Denton, the voice of Neyland Stadium from 1967-2013 who died in April.

Also, kudos to Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha for their banner that includes a mock Daily Beacon front page.

Cam Sutton stars in Vols’ exceptional defensive performance Taylor White Staff Writer (@T_Dub98)

Tennessee defensive back Cam Sutton has established himself as one of the top defensive backs in the SEC, and his play in Saturday’s 10-9 loss to rival Florida only solidified that claim.

Florida tested Sutton several times through the air, but he continually answered the call. The sophomore corner only recorded one tackle, but had three pass breakups and made a great play on the ball in the first quarter to come up with a big interception, picking off Jeff Driskel.

“It was just man coverage,” Sutton said. “I just used techniques that the coaching staff taught us, and it was just down the field, just wedging the receiver, getting into the receiver and then just going up and making a play on the ball.”

Sutton’s pick was his third of the season, putting him in a tie with Ole Miss defensive back Senquez Golson for first place in the SEC. Sutton was part of a Tennessee defense that allowed 10 points and 76 yards through the air. He was also one of three different players to record an interception off Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel, who Sutton said had a habit of telegraphing passes, which the Volunteer secondary made him pay for.

“He kind of has a tendency of staring down his receivers,” Sutton said. “We just had to be in those windows, just to make plays on the ball.”

Tennessee shut the Gators out for the first three quarters of the game, but then faltered, allowing 10 straight points in the fourth quarter.

Despite that rough quarter, the young Tennessee defense hopes to learn from that experience.

“We just have to get back tomorrow and come into the film room and learn from those mistakes,” Sutton said. “Learn to fit those gaps and tackle in space. Three to four plays made a difference throughout the game, and we just have to limit those explosive plays, explosive runs and continue to get the ball back to our offense.”

A Medley of confidence: While Tennessee’s offense struggled to finish drives, true freshman Aaron Medley made sure to take advantage of the opportunities he was given.

Medley hit all three of his field goal attempts, scoring the Volunteer’s only points of the game. After both teams failed to score in the first quarter, he scored the first nine points of the game, hitting on field goals of 36, 38 and 39 yards.

“I just have trust in my entire field goal line,” Medley said. “Especially today, we had a little mix up, but it was just great snapping and great holding all day.”

Tennessee got the ball back with just over two minutes left in the game, needing only a field goal to win, meaning Medley had to prepare himself mentally in case he was needed for one final kick.

After building his confidence throughout the game, Medley said he was “comfortable from 50” if the game would have come down to one final kick.

“I was definitely ready,” Medley said. “I’d had a few warmups, and I was just waiting on my chance. I was definitely trying to stay in the zone because anything can happen. You just have to look at it as ‘I’m over here and I just have to be ready for my team.’”

Inordinate infractions: Throughout the year, the Vols have prided themselves on being a team that doesn’t commit a lot of penalties, as they had only been flagged 16 times in four games this year.

That, however, changed in the first half.

The Vols were penalized seven times for 44 yards in the first half of Saturday’s game, with many of those flags coming at critical points in the game.

“Those were big,” head coach Butch Jones said.

“Anytime you have pre-snap penalties or negative yardage plays, that adversely affects you. We’re not good enough right now to overcome first and 15. Those are mental errors which we cannot have, and it comes from a communicative standpoint.”

Twice Tennessee had third and short and turned to Jalen Hurd in their wildcat formation, and both times the offensive line jumped before the ball was snapped, resulting in two critical false starts that stalled both drives.

The change under center seemingly had an effect on the offensive line, with the Vols not communicating up front like they needed to in those situations.

“Once again, we were hurting ourselves,” said quarterback Justin Worley.

“Jalen I guess wasn’t barking out the cadence loud enough. Some of the guys heard it and some of the guys didn’t. The only guy that needs to hear it is the guy snapping the ball, and he was one of the few that wasn’t hearing it.

“We just have to learn from these things, and work on these things in practice this week.”
