UT Board of Trustees discusses university improvements Priya Narapareddy Staff Writer The University of Tennessee system’s Board of Trustees met for a series of fall meetings on Thursday and Friday to discuss current positive policies and possible improvement plans for the future.

Thursday’s first meeting hosted the subcommittee on Student Conduct, Rights and Responsibilities and the Public Rulemaking Hearing on the proposed UT Knoxville Student Code of Conduct at the Hollingsworth Auditorium in UT’s Institute of Agriculture.

Vice Chancellor for Student Life Vince Carilli said changes to the Student Code of Conduct are necessary because no substantial alterations have been made in 40 years.

Carilli also said the proposed revisions to the code will provide more clarity in the event of misconduct and will include a sexual misconduct policy. Proposed modifications include discontinuing the indefinite suspension sanction, adding a deferred suspension sanction and eliminating individual hearing boards to centralize the disciplinary process.

Alabama smothers Tennessee 49-10 Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor With 9:02 left in the third quarter and the No. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide scoring to go up 28-7, the Tennessee Vols looked to be in prime position for yet another late comeback.

Someone forgot to tell the Tide they were supposed to lay down, however.

The Crimson Tide added three more scores to their lead in the second half as they dominated from start to finish in a convincing 49-10 win over the 9th and 11th ranked Vols.

The Vols seemed to go in reverse when down by three scores this time as the Tide rolled up 285 yards and 28 point in the second half alone.

“It just comes down to execution,” head coach Butch Jones said after Saturday’s game. “It’s not one person’s fault. It’s not anyone’s fault. It just comes down to execution and we have to be better for it and learn from it.”

Alabama outgained the Vols in total yards by a lopsided 594 yards to 163 yards with freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts inflicting most of the damage. Hurts threw for 143 yards and a touchdown and also ran for an impressive 151 yards and three touchdowns.

“He’s a dynamic quarterback. He exploited us today being able to get around the edge and delivering on long balls when needed,” sophomore Rashaan Gaulden said.

Hurts wasn’t the only running threat for the Tide, however, as the Tide’s running back trio of junior Bo Scarbrough, sophomore Damien Harris and freshman Josh Jacobs combined for 257 rushing yards.

Scarbrough, who earned his first start of his career on Saturday, carried the ball just five times but gained 114 yards including an 85-yard touchdown rush.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES continued from Page 1 The Student Tribunal Board, Greek Judicial Board and Academic Review Board would be replaced by a single Student Conduct Board.

Carilli added that procedures for students who have violated the Code of Conduct should be more streamlined with these policy changes. Students would also be able to present their own account of an incident before charges are assigned.

Carilli said these revisions should make the current code “less legalistic and confrontational” towards students.

“This is a university community,” he said.

Greek organizations, members of SGA and enrolled students provided feedback on the code’s proposed changes.

Other meetings on Thursday included the Subcommittee on Community and Alumni Relations, Subcommittee on Nonacademic Programs, Subcommittee on Tuition, Fees and Financial Aid, University Life Committee, Advancement and Public Affairs Committee and the Academic Affairs and Student Success Committee.

At 11:45 a.m., the subcommittee for Tuition, Fees and Financial Aid convened to discuss the cost of attendance and the university’s budget. The subcommittee said that they may have to consider cutting programs as the year progresses if they do not receive an increase in state funding.

There was no specification on which programs may get cut, but said they would consider which programs are requested the most by students, what is used the most and what generates the most revenue.

Throughout the UT system, an average of $5,000 of financial aid are available for each student. However, students still have an average debt burden of between $22,000-$23,000 by graduation. That number is down from the national average of $25,000-$26,000.

Only 50 percent of students carry debt in UT, and the default rate after graduation is significantly lower than the national average, indicating students are finding jobs soon after getting a degree. Throughout the UT system, the average debt is $25,400.

Finally, the subcommittee discussed the possibility of more scholarship opportunities for fields outside of the college of science, technology, engineering or mathematics.

During the Academic Affairs and Student Success Committee at 3:15 p.m., UT’s current standing in the U.S News and World Report rankings was a major topic. In the 2017 U.S. News and World Report list, UT is ranked the 46th Best Public University.

Chancellor Jimmy Cheek stressed the retention of freshman students as an important factor to improving UT’s rankings, and to helping the university enter the Top 25.

Cheek said many students who choose

Laura Altawil • The Daily Beacon to leave UT complete their undergraduate degree at another university.

“Students leave because the fit is not right, distance from home and finances,” he said.

Retention rates for UT freshman, based on a six-year graduation rate, are currently at 70 percent. Cheek said the ideal freshman retention rate for UT would be about 92 percent.

Friday’s meetings included the Executive and Compensation Committee, the Subcommittee on Efficiency and Cost Savings, the Finance and Administration Committee, the Athletics Committee, and the summit ended with a general Board of Trustees meeting.

During the meeting with the Finance and Administration Committee the Interim Chancellor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, Robert Smith, said that he wants the college to be a major part of the economic recovery in West Tennessee.

A major part of the plan includes a new engineering building that should attract aspiring STEM majors.

“In the last 12 years, UT Martin has only had $15.8 million in funded capital projects.

The building itself will add $56.3 million in added income to the region and add 901 jobs. Our expectation is that it will increase our enrollment in STEM programs by 25 percent, and if history repeats itself 85-90 percent of those graduates will remain in West Tennessee,” Smith said during the meeting.

UT also had a list of proposed construction projects, including a $106 million project to improve Neyland Stadium that is targeted to be completed by August 2019. $81 million is planned to be sourced from debt financing.

UT’s College of Engineering was renamed the John D. Tickle College of Engineering Friday during the final meeting of the Board of Trustees. Tickle, who is a 1965 graduate of UT, has been a major donor to the univer-

sity throughout his life.

The amount of the donations made by Tickle and his family were requested to be kept anonymous.

Tennessee governor and Board of Trustees chair Bill Haslam also attended the Friday meeting. Haslam said the state’s need has shifted from recruiting businesses to preparing its workforce. He said the role of higher education is critical for this.

“Preparing students in the right way is a big deal,” Haslam said.

Former board members Julius Johnson, James Murphy III and Jalen Blue were also honored for their service to the board.

Blue, who graduated in May with a degree in public administration, was appointed

by Haslam as a student board member in 2015. He was also a recipient of the 2016 Torchbearer Award.

Blue held many positions as a UT student, and worked to promote diversity and inclusion on campus.

“I want all students to know that they are supported and cherished on this campus,” he said.

The Board of Trustees also planned to distribute a campus climate survey to all 50,000 students in the Spring of 2017. The survey will cover if students feel safe and respected on campus and will be used in addressing diversity in the UT System.

Finally, four new executive positions were approved: Tonja Johnson for Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, David Millhorn for Vice President for Research, Outreach and Economic Development, David Miller for Chief Financial Officer, and Keith Carver for the new University of Tennessee at Martin Chancellor.

The final meeting adjourned after deciding on the next meeting date and location. It will take place in the spring of 2017, between March 28-29, in Chattanooga.

School of Architecture ranked 10th overall Gabriela Szymanowska Contributor The University of Tennessee’s School of Architecture rose past the Top-25 and into the Top-10 in DesignIntelligence’s annual report for 2017 for its undergraduate program.

The rankings are by the Design Futures Council which conducts surveys on public and private schools annually. The Design Future Council asks professionals to describe how well students are prepared for the job market, then ranks each school based on the preparedness of the students.

“It might be the connection between students and staff. Coming in, everyone gets the advice to make connections with the professors,” Kathryn Lamb, a junior in architecture, said.

The School of Architecture prepares its students for real world experiences where they will have to adapt to changing situations.

We put students in a vast array of experiences, such that they develop their own sense of what it means to be an architect,” Director of the School of Architecture Jason Young said.

Students have opportunities to experience real world situations and test their abilities.

One experience is the Design-Build Program, with a spectrum of projects that allow students to design and develop concepts.

“We have a strong Design-Build culture here where we’re able to put students in projects where they’re not just coming up with concepts and schematic designs, they’re actually developing those designs toward construction principles, logic of materials, and they’re often working in the real world complicated political dynamics,” Young said.

One of the latest projects was an education building for the Beardsley Community Farm in Knoxville. Located in Malcolm-Martin Park, this community provides locally grown food to the public.

“They’re about sustainable farming and teaching the public about different methods of sustainable farming as a way to increase your access to quality food,” Jennifer Akerman, a professor in the College of Architecture and Design, said.

Students and faculty members came together to design and build an education space and amphitheater in 18 months for the Beardsley community, which includes an office space, a kitchen, on-location bathrooms and a classroom.

Students took an idea from the administration at Beardsley Farm and designed a building

based on the needs of the community. Then with the help of supplies donated from the city, they participated in constructing the building.

Students were a part of the workflow and learned of the needs of the community and the project by volunteering on the farm.

Besides the Build-Design program, there are other opportunities to learn from professionals and gain real world experience that help the program stand out.

“Every spring we have a function called The Annual All-College Spring Thing, which is actually where the entire college comes together. It’s deviated tasks and that is a really interesting scenario, where they offer workshops and they bring in professionals,” William Dunn, a senior in architecture, said.

The addition of the Fab Lab, a building complex of 20,000 square feet, houses 3D printers, laser cutters, a water jet cutter, a woodshop and a metal shop. The Fab Lab also allows students to continue exploring different prospects of architecture.

“I think that it’s a two-way street,” Akerman said. “That the faculty are really committed to our student’s succeeding, so we want to put in as much time as it takes to help them get to a high level, but the students when they are so inspired or invested in what they’re doing, they are willing to put in the effort it takes.”

Go Vols, go outdoors Kimberly Bress Real World Problem Solving

Since the record setting game at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 10, the past five weekends have been consumed by Volunteer football. Every Saturday seems to be a nerve-racking and heart wrenching experience, leaving spectators nearly as exhausted as the players themselves.

This upcoming weekend, on Oct. 22, is the team’s first “bye,” providing a well needed break for both the athletes and the fans. However, in anticipation of the uncharacteristically quiet campus, one cannot help but wonder: What else is there to do on a Saturday? Without a couch to burn or a barbecue to attend, how should we fill our time?

The absence of a Volunteer football game makes for a great opportunity to get out of Knoxville to explore more natural shades of orange and crimson. Interestingly, research has shown that spending an afternoon in the outdoors can soothe your mood and promote a healthier state of mind. It may be just what we all need after these past five wild weekends.

In a study performed by researchers at Stanford University, experiences in nature produced clear decreases in anxiety and negative cognitions.

Students who spent at least 50 minutes walking in a nature showed improved performance on complex working memory tests, compared with students who did not walk at all or walked in an urban environment. Even brief encounters with green space had a profound positive impact on emotional well-being and cognitive performance.

These results have important implications for college students, whose lifestyles (including football-related behaviors such as unbalanced eating, lack of physical activity and excessive alcohol consumption) create a greater risk for the development of unhealthy mental states.

How does nature affect our brains? What benefit do we get from gazing at a mountain skyline, rather than a Jumbotron? Another study, also performed at Stanford, tackled these questions.

After having participants take a 90-minute walk through either natural or urban settings, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure their brain activity.

Participants who took a stroll through nature showed increased neural activation in the subgenual prefrontal cortex, in addition to reporting less rumination (repetitive negative thoughts).

Those who walked through urban areas did not show any significant changes in brain activity and did not report any reduction in negative cognitions.

Although it is unlikely that the subgenual prefrontal cortex is the only brain region controlling the emotional and mental benefit of exposure to nature, this study reveals that it may play a role in mediating experience-dependent mental

“

Although taking a walk in the woods won’t make your heart race like a game in Neyland, it might just get the blood pumping to your subgenual cortex.

After an emotional five weeks of football, that seems to be what every Volunteer fan needs.”

healthiness. Both of these studies respond to an emerging correlation between urbanization and prevalence of mental illness. Their results provoke important dialogue about what we, as individuals, can do to protect our mental health within an increasingly industrialized society.

With the Smoky Mountain National Park being less than an hour away and various urban greenspaces within a radius of 20 miles, students in Knoxville have ample opportunity to escape from the concrete of campus. Although taking a stroll in the woods won’t make your heart race like a game in Neyland, it might just get the blood pumping to your subgenual prefrontal cortex. After an emotional five weeks of football, that seems to be exactly what every Volunteer fan needs.

If you don’t have a way to get out of the city, or are wary about venturing into nature alone, the University of Tennessee Outdoor Program leads group trips nearly every weekend. From moonlit mountain biking to casual hikes through the foliage, there is an excursion to fit every level of interest and ability. Check out their events calendar at http://recsports.utk.edu/outdoors/ tripsevent-calendar. Happy fall, and go Vols!

Come hungry and be surprised: Knoxville Food Tour Bryanne Brewer Arts and Culture Editor

As an university student, food options can seem largely limited. Chickfila, Qdoba, Raising Canes and repeat. Maybe the occasional venture to find off campus food, but it’s not a stretch to say the average student diet can get bland and repetitive.

So the easy solution is to sign up for the next Chef’s Table, a food tour hosted

by East Knoxville Tours. While the ticket is a little pricey, at $90 per person, but it’s definitely worth it as you collect a good two to three meals worth of food— and each restaurant allows you take take home left overs.

The tour, led by the ever charismatic and friendly Lauren Quinn of East Tennessee Tours, led us to five lesser known places, all conveniently located on Gay St. Between eating and while walking to each of the restaraunts, at a slow pace to help digest all the food, Quinn shared a slew of information on Knoxville’s history, making the tour delicious and educational.

The first stop was Frussie’s Deli and Bakery, which Quinn described as a knowonly kind of place— if you know about it you go, and if you don’t then you don’t.

Located at 722 S. Gay St., right across from the Bijou Theatre, Frussie’s felt quiet and comfortable. We were offered their best house sandwich, an Italian sub, that consisted of ham, turkey and genoa salami.

Current owner Jay Brandon welcomed us and assured us that Frussie’s uses the freshest ingredients they can get and they cure their own meats. In addition to fresh meats and ingredients, Brandon also makes the bread fresh every morning.

The sandwich was delicious, but head my mistake— eating the whole sandwich will not leave enough room to try everything else on the tour.

The next stop was Clancy’s Tavern and Whiskey House, located at 602 S. Gay St., right next to the Tennessee Theatre. As the only Irish pub in downtown Knoxville, the place stands out— both design wise and culinarily wise. After a nice appetizer of boxy, vegetables, hummus and a Guinness cheese spread, we were given Irish style shepard’s pie (made with braised lamb) and bangers and mash.

Clancy’s offered a cultural experience in addition to great tasting food.

Feeling a little stuffed, we walked over to Archer’s BBQ new downtown loca-

It was a treat too, since they only serve their extremely tender brisket on Fridays. We were offered sample portions of their chicken, brisket, pulled pork and ribs. They pride themselves on having premium meats, on top of having great dry rubs and homemade sauces to please every customer. Everything was tender and juicy, making Archer’s a new hot spot for Knoxville BBQ. Next we took a stop at Five, a bar located at 430 S. Gay St. The meal provided aside, Five is definitely an aesthetic location with various marvelous chandeliers handing about in the dinning area. Instead of offering customers with an obnoxious amount of options, Five has decided to offer five options— five appetizers, five entrees, five select draft beers, etc— that they have mastered. We were given deviled eggs, sweet and spicy uptown shrimp and smoked tuna dip. If only I hadn’t been so full, I would have consumed it all— but that’s the joy of to-go boxes.

To round out the tour, Quinn led us to our final stop: Sugar Mama’s Bakery. It’s a family run bakery and they make all their desserts fresh, with family recipes. With the slogan “nothing good ever comes from a box,” the small bakery gives off a homemade feel that just sits right. We were given a sampler of some of their delicious treats, including my favorite: the cherry danish.

The tour took three hours to complete, but was all encompassing and left me completely satisfied. It is recommended to come hungry and don’t forget to pace yourself. In addition to this Chef’s Table tour, Quinn is organizing a Harry Potter themed food tour.

So clear your schedule, empty your stomach and visit easttntours.com to learn more about the Chef’s Table food tour.

Injuries, mobile quarterback Hurts Vols

Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor

It didn’t matter what defensive set the Vols called on Saturday night.

Alabama sniffed it out and ran down the Vols’ throats.

In a rushing performance that broke records on Saturday night, Alabama rushed for 438 yards on their way to a 49-10 victory over the Vols.

The Tide’s 438 yards on the ground are the most Alabama has had in a game since they had 451 against Tennessee in 1986. “Teams have a hard time recovering from when you look at the productivity that wasn’t on the field tonight and that’s no excuse,� head coach Butch Jones said. “These kids will come back.�

The Tide used seven different runners

against the Vols on Saturday, but Damien Harris and Jalen Hurts saw 26 of the team’s 49 handoffs.

Harris had a strong day, racking up 94 yards on his 14 carries. But the main man wreaking havoc on Saturday was quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Hurts didn’t do much through the air, completing 16 of his 26 attempts for 143 yards and an interception. But the freshman gunslinger hurt the Vols on the ground, gashing Tennessee for 132 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. “We had a lot of mistakes out there,�

Todd Kelly Jr. said. “We just need to go into the film room and figure out what we did wrong.�

Bo Scarbrough broke off an 85-yard run in the fourth quarter to bring his total to 109 yards on only five carries on the night.

fourth quarter, despite not pulling their starters, the Vols only had 12 of the original 22 players that started in week one on the field.

Injuries have taken the rest of those starters. “It’s a good time for a bye week,� defensive end Derek Barnett said. “It’s next man up. The backup guy that comes in needs to be ready to play. We got guys ready to do that, but we need more of it.�

Injuries aren’t the sole reason that the Vols were crushed on Saturday, but one can only wonder how the outcome would change in names like Jalen ReevesMaybin, Cameron Sutton and Darrin Kirkland Jr. donned an orange jersey against the Crimson Tide.

Now the Vols have a bye week — a chance for the team to lick their wounds and prepare for their next few opponents.

But has the damage already been done?

Tennessee is quite literally running out of players to play. They lost ReevesMaybin and Kirkland Jr. to injuries at linebacker, and backup Quart’e Sapp went down for the season against Ohio.

Colton Jumper has done fairly well as the next in line at linebacker, but Cortez McDowell, who played in place of an injured Reeves-Maybin, also didn’t play against Alabama.

That left Elliot Berry to fill the vacant role. Berry had nine tackles, including two for a loss, but the lack of leadership and consistency has been apparent.

The Daily Beacon • Monday, October 17, 2016

INJURIES continued from Page 6 On the offensive line, Dylan Weisman was out on Saturday with an injury he sustained against Texas A&M. Chance Hall was pulled in the first half, and Brett Kendrick also got hurt against the Tide.

“Usually, when you have a front of injuries, it usually affects one position group, maybe two position groups but this is affecting every position group,” Jones said. “That’s why this bye week is so important. We have to get our health back, and we have to have some youngsters to have a sense of urgency to get better.”

Khalil McKenzie was also injured during Saturday’s game. The Vols were already limited at defensive tackle after starter Danny O’Brien was dismissed from the team earlier this week for a violation of team rules.

By the Numbers: 39: The amount that the Vols lost by on Saturday night, making it the worst loss Tennessee has suffered at the hands of Alabama since 1906. Back then, the Tide beat Tennessee 51-0. Since that loss, the Vols had lost to

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 The Tennessee defensive never seemed to get comfortable at stopping the Tide’s run game and was gashed time and time again.

“It’s a line of scrimmage game and when you give up 438 yards rushing and offensively you have 32 yards rushing, you’re not even giving yourself an opportunity to be in the game,” head coach Butch Jones said after Saturday’s loss.

Offensively, the Vols seemed to have no rhythm. After racking up 398 passing yards against Texas A&M, quarterback Josh Dobbs managed just 92 yards of passing yards and for the first time all season was held to zero passing touchdowns.

On the ground game, the Alabama defense swarmed to the ball on every rush and held the Vols to just 32 rushing yards. Alvin Kamara, who broke the Tennessee all-purpose yards record the week before against A&M, only rushed the ball eight times for just 26 yards.

“We weren’t getting a push up front obviously and that affects your run game,” Dobbs said after Saturday’s game.

After Alabama jumped to a 14-0 lead in the first half, the Vols seemed to have momentum shift their way. Junior Derek Barnett sacked Hurts and knocked the

Alabama by 35 two times – in 1963 and 2013.

28: The amount of first downs for Alabama. Tennessee only had 11 first downs.

594: The total number of yards Alabama had against the Vols. Tennessee had 163 total yards.

61: The total amount of yards Josh Dobbs had against Alabama. Dobbs threw for 92 yards but ran the ball seven times for -31 yards.

SEC Standings: With a Tennessee loss and a Florida win, the Vols drop to second in the SEC East race with a 5-2 overall record and a 2-2 conference record. Florida sits atop the SEC East with five wins and one loss, which came at the hands of Tennessee. Florida is currently 3-1 in conference play.

On the other side of the conference, Alabama and Texas A&M are currently sitting at the top of the SEC West with a 4-0 record in conference play and a 7-0 and 6-0 record, respectively. The Crimson Tide and the Aggies play each other next Saturday.

Up Next: The Vols have a bye week next week but will travel to South Carolina to take on the Gamecocks on Oct. 29. ball loose from which the Vols recovered on the 11-yard line and scored two plays later to cut the lead to seven.

Barnett recorded his sixth sack in four games on that play and was one of the lone bright spots on the field for the Vols.

Barnett made another big play for the Vols late in the second quarter with Alabama driving to take a 28-7 lead, sophomore Shy Tuttle batted a Hurts pass in the air and Barnett picked the ball off, his first interception of his career.

For Barnett, toughness is the key.

“There isn’t anyone who has more toughness in our football program then him,” Jones said. “If I’m a defensive lineman or anybody on the football team, I’m getting around Derek Barnett as much as I possibly can.”

With injuries plaguing the Vols defense and whole team, junior Elliot Berry was forced to make his first career start and did not put it to waste.

Berry recorded nine tackles in the game including two tackles for loss.

“He had a great week of practice and he had a great mindset coming in this week and it paid off,” Barnett said.

Now as the Vols end this brutal fourweek stretch and approach their bye week, an SEC Championship appearance is still the goal according to junior Todd Kelly Jr. “Now we’re focused on getting to Atlanta right now, focused on getting on to our next opponent,” he said.
