A GAME OF INCHES Overtime fumble thwarts Vols’ upset bid against No. 6 Georgia Steven Cook Copy Editor For just a few moments, it felt like ‘98 again. The No. 6 team in the country was on its heels. The Tennessee Volunteers were seconds away from the signature win a decade in the making. Neyland Stadium had finally claimed an elite victim. Then, fate. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray threw a 2-yard touchdown with 5 seconds left in regulation to guarantee overtime, and an untimely Vols mishap in the extra period resulted in a 34-31 Bulldogs win on Saturday afternoon. “It kills me because they’ve given everything,” head coach Butch Jones said after the loss. “This team has become closer than any team I’ve ever been a part of and they hurt, but we’re going to keep grinding.” The Vols battled back from a 14-point deficit and orchestrated a fourth quarter comeback that culminated with a 7-yard Rajion Neal touchdown which gave UT a 31-24 lead. With 1:54 left in regulation, Georgia’s national title hopes rested in the hands of its senior quarterback. Murray then led a 10-play, 75-yard drive, converting three third downs — the

‘Sex Week’ preview targets early awareness Jenna Butz Staff Writer This week, Sexual Empowerment and Awareness in Tennessee will hold a “Sex Week Fall Preview,” giving students a peek into what’s in store for spring. Brianna Rader, a founder and co-chair for “Sex Week,” organized two events, along with SEAT, to highlight the best of what is to come. “We know what was popular last year, such as ‘Sex in the Dark,’ and it’s a fun event that students really enjoyed,” Rader said. “And the Q&A panel was the best way to cover many of the events we did last spring into one.” Falling into Your Sexuality, a Q&A with a professional panel, will be held in the UC Auditorium on Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m. Here, students will submit questions via text message. Panel members will include Timothy Hulsey, associate provost and director of University Honors; Tory Mills, a representative of Planned Parenthood; Anita Blatnik, a local nurse practitioner and John Tirro, chaplain for the Tyson House EpiscopalLutheran Campus Ministry.

last of which was a touchdown pass to Rantavious Wooten with just 5 seconds remaining that tied the game at 31 apiece. Tennessee got the ball first in overtime and struck when receiver Alton “Pig” Howard dove for the pylon and seemingly scored on a 7-yard endaround. But after review, referees ruled the ball slipped out of Howard’s hands just inches before hitting the pylon. Since the ball went out of the end zone after leaving Howard’s fingertips, it resulted in a touchback. That allowed the Bulldogs to gain possession, needing only a field goal to win. Marshall Morgan’s 42-yarder ended a game for the ages. Tennessee’s so-close-you-cantouch-it win over an elite SEC opponent transformed back into a mirage. See GAME RECAP on Page 6

Art exhibit portrays history through bones Emma Evans Contributor Art can be found in the most unexpected of places. The UT Downtown Gallery was teeming with visitors at the presentation of its new exhibit this past Friday night. The exhibit, entitled “Ossuary,” was created by Laurie Beth Clark, an artist who doubles as a professor of art at the University of Wisconsin. An ossuary is a repository of bones, and this exhibit features 300 artists’ interpretations of a skeleton. The unique aspect of the exhibit is what draws people in, said Joanne Logan, UT professor in the biosystems engineering and soil sciences department. “The exhibit is just so unusual,” Logan said. “This isn’t a typical art gallery that you can see on any First Friday.” The collection continuously

grows between iterations, and the peculiar theme of the collection gives artists a chance to offer insight on the art that can be found in bones. Kathleen Connelly, senior in philosophy, said she appreciated how the theme gave attendees the chance to see the different interpretations of the artists. “The best part of the collection is that there is so much variety,” Connelly said. “You get the chance to look at all of the art through the eyes of several different artists.” For senior architecture student Marianela D’aprile, the size of the exhibit is eye-catching, with hundreds of artists contributing to Clark’s “Ossuary.” “This exhibit has a lot of content, and the artifacts are attention-grabbing,” D’aprile said. “People want to know what all of this stands for.” See OSSUARY on Page 3

a job with the company he interned for and has since worked at Warner Brothers before moving to Skydance. “It’s an incredibly aggressive and intense place to work,” Milam said. “It’s full of super insecure people that want to prove their worth, so they’re always battling and jockeying for position.”

If Rocky Top is home sweet home, then its inhabitants must be “welcoming to all and hostile to none.” This is UT’s stance on diversity. Sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Student Life, the first annual Day of Dialogue was held in the UC on Friday, Oct. 4. Designed to “Get the Conversation Started,” this all day, campus-wide symposium addressed diversity on campus and in Knoxville. Through different activities, workshops and forums, participants were encouraged to think critically about diversity and initiate discussions about how to make UT more diversity-friendly. “I thought it was really interesting to see the different aspects of diversity,” said Maddie Rule, freshman in business management.”I need to know how to embrace it.”

Movie producers spotlight film industry Claire Dodson Arts & Culture Editor For many at UT, the Hollywood film industry seems like a distant mirage, a place that doesn’t seem entirely real or achievable for the average college graduate. Matt Milam, a UT alumnus and senior vice president at Skydance, brought three fellow producers to the Hodges

Library Auditorium on Friday to discuss their experience with the industry. These producers included Bryan Unkeless, senior vice president at Color Force, Jon Silk, senior vice president at Lin Pictures and Will RussellShapiro, senior executive for Aversano Productions. The movies the trio have worked on include “Star Trek: Into Darkness,” “World War

Z” and “Hunger Games.” The four men answered audience questions and had the opportunity to talk about various aspects of the film industry, including the best way to break into it and the realities of working in that kind of environment.
