Tom Cruise visited the Pinnacle 18 Theater in Turkey Creek to promote the premier of “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.” Altaf Nanavati • The Daily Beacon

Tom Cruise reaches out to fans at Knoxville premier Bryanne Brewer Arts and Culture Editor Hugging little girls, talking to fans and taking pictures, Tom Cruise made his way down the red carpet last night at Regal Entertainment Group’s premiere of the “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.”

While the red carpet event was for the new movie, the main purpose of the night was to raise money for Variety— the children’s charity of Eastern Tennessee. Now reaching its 15th year, Regal hosts a red carpet screening event to raise money for charities like Variety.

Volume 132 Issue 40

In previous years this event has brought stars like Kristen Stewart, Jack Black and Hugh Jackman.

Variety of Eastern Tennessee, sponsored

by Regal Entertainment Group, was founded in 2001. It has raised over $9 million since then, raising money for several groups that help children-- including the Emerald Youth Foundation, Mission of Hope, Family Promise and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

“As one of the biggest movie stars of all time, Regal is truly honored to roll out the red carpet for Tom Cruise and welcome him to East Tennessee. From his illustrious film career to his philanthropic efforts, Tom is the epitome of a true Hollywood star,” said Greg

Dunn, President and Chief Operating Officer of Regal Entertainment Group.

Following last year’s appearance of Jack Black, Tom Cruise did not disappoint.

Knoxville citizens raised $600,000— a record amount for this annual benefit event— as a thousand fans crowded in the Pinnacle 18 theater in Turkey Creek.

“I’ve known Regal, I’ve distributed film with Regal and they asked me to come out and do this. I thought it was a wonderful opportunity, a wonderful event,” said Cruise said in regards to partnering up with Regal.

After spending an hour greeting doting fans and talking to media correspondents, Cruise made his way into the theater. As he

stepped on stage he was met with screams from the crowd and professions of love.

“It’s quite an honor to be here,” Cruise said, looking at the swarm of excited Knoxvillians.

“Thank you all for such a warm welcome, I hope you enjoy the film because, you know, I’ve wanted to make movies. I remember ever since I was about 4 years old, and to be here today is really a dream come true, and I think about you all every time I make a movie.”

“I love entertaining you, and thank you for letting me entertain you,” he said.

Better fuel economy saves money for poor, Baker Center report shows Christopher Salvemini Assistant News Editor

Fuel efficient vehicles are saving more money for people with lower incomes, new research by the Baker Center reveals.

“The Impact of Increased Fuel Economy for Light-Duty Vehicles on the Distribution of Income in the United States,” by the members of the Baker Center found that increased fuel efficiency in vehicles can yield progressive savings, meaning that people with a lower income benefit from fuel efficiency savings more than people with a higher income.

“This has saved a lot of petroleum over the years, my estimate is one and a half trillion gallons of gasoline saved by fuel economy improvements since 1975. We wanted to know what kind of impacts these standards may have had on different income groups in the U.S.,” David Greene, senior fellow at the Baker Center and researcher, said.

People with a higher income tend to pur-

chase newer and more expensive vehicles, which also have a better fuel economy. As time goes on, the vehicles are resold as used vehicles at a significantly lower price.

They can then be purchased by people with lower incomes, which benefit from the same fuel economy savings as when they were first purchased.

“Our findings are basically that the standards are progressive, the net impact of the standards on income, or consumer wealth, is progressive. That is, as a percentage of income the lowest income quintile, the lowest 20 percent, save the most relative to their income,” Greene said.

To start their research Greene and Jilleah Welch, a Research Associate, looked into old data from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys.

“The data that we use is from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, which is the same data source that they use to calculate the Consumer Price Index, so a large part of our role was gathering this historical data and analyzing it,” Welch said.

They found that people with a higher income save a lower percentage of their

income compared to people with a lower income. People with a higher income save between .04-3 percent of their income per year, and people with lower incomes save between 1.6-2 percent from improved fuel economy per year.

The biggest impact that the research can have would be on policy decisions. To Greene, the main motivation for improving fuel economy is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but regulating emissions requires answering the question of who benefits.

“If it’s efficient, and it benefits poor citizens more than richer citizens, that’s probably something most people would think is a good thing,” Greene said.

Phase one of the research has already been completed. Greene and Welch are now looking forward to use the research to predict how fuel efficiency will change in the future.

“Fuel economy standards from 1975 to about 1985, roughly speaking, doubled in fuel efficiency of a passenger car,” Greene said. “We’re about to that again, in fact we are part way there already.”

UT professor part of NASA mission to study asteroid Alex Holcomb

A UT professor is on a mission to a nearearth asteroid that could lead to information about the origin of life.

Joshua Emery, associate professor of planetary science, is a member of NASA’s science team for the OSIRIS-REx asteroid study that launched on Sep. 8 from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

“My role was on the science team,” Emery said. “Specifically, I lead a working group called the thermoanalysis working group, whose job is to take infrared data that we get from the asteroid interpret that in terms of surface structure.”

Emery, who started working on the project in 2010, did not finish with the launch.

He will become more involved with the project until it returns in 2023, since the spacecraft must be ready to collect data when it arrives to the asteroid.

“Our immediate task now is ... to make sure we have our software that we’re going to use to analyze the spacecraft remote sensing data of the surface,” Emery said.

While the spacecraft orbits the 101955 Bennu asteroid, Emery will be working fulltime for the project.

“When the spacecraft gets to the asteroid in late 2018, we orbit the asteroid and study it for a year to try to figure out where

on the asteroid we want to sample from,” Emery said, who will be spending his whole year in Tuscon working on the project.

Hap McSween, UT professor emeritus of planetary geoscience, is the chair of a NASA advisory committee that will be responsible for handling samples retrieved from the OSIRIS-REx mission. While not directly involved with the mission, he understands what the scientific community could learn from these samples.

The general appearance of the samples show less alteration and are in a more primitive form, giving insight to the what “building blocks of planets were like.”

McSween said, “bringing these samples • Photo courtesy of NASA.gov that have never seen the earth back and anyone in the U.S. or really anyone across keeping them in a perfectly clean condition the world can send in a request to analyze will allow science to get a better idea of it.

UT Engineers Day aims to educate How does it feel? Nobel judges engage prospective students can’t reach Bob Dylan Sean Kennedy Contributor Engineers Day kicks off this Thursday, Oct. 20, at 10 a.m., giving high school students from all over Tennessee a chance to speak to students and faculty from the UT College of Engineering and participate in competitions and activities throughout the day.

The event begins with an opening session at Thompson Boling Arena from 10-10:30 a.m. and is followed by various student-run exhibits and competitions from all engineering programs.

Masood Parang, associate dean of academic and student affairs in the College of Engineering, expects high school students from all over the state to attend Engineers Day this year.

“The purpose of Engineers Day is to introduce engineering to high school students and encourage them to consider disciplines within engineering as their educational goals and careers,” Parang said. “We invite all Tennessee high schools to attend Engineering Day. We have more than 50 high schools attending the Engineers Day with more than 1,600 students registered.”

National Engineering Society Tau Beta Pi will host the event alongside the UT College of Engineering. A.J. Toth, co-chair of Tau Beta Pi, sees the event as a way for UT engineering students and faculty to show prospective students still attending high school what the program has to offer.

“Engineers Day is a chance for UT engineering students and faculty to showcase their talent, hard work and passion for engineering to high school students from all over the state of Tennessee and surrounding areas,” Toth said.

Tau Beta Pi will also be hosting the Quiz Bowl event. Beginning at 10:45 a.m. in room 307 of the Science and Engineering Research Facility, the Quiz bowl is one of the more popular competitions. Visiting students will work in teams of four to complete a 60-70 question exam testing their knowledge of different areas of math and science.

Other competitions and events include the balsa wood bridge competition, the egg drop competition, the penny boat competition and pneumatic machine competition.

For more information regarding Engineers Day along with a detailed schedule of competitions and events, visit the UT College of Engineering website at www.engr.utk.edu.

Associated Press

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Five days after Bob Dylan was named the winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, no one knows how he feels about the prestigious award — not even the Nobel judges.

The Swedish Academy, which bestows the annual honor, says it hasn’t been able to reach Dylan since the award was announced last Thursday.

“We haven’t established direct contact with Bob Dylan yet, but I have spoken to one of his closest associates,” the academy’s permanent secretary, Sara Danius, told The Associated Press in an email on Tuesday.

The academy hopes he will accept the invitation to collect his award at the annual Nobel ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10.

“It would be delightful if Dylan wanted to come to Stockholm in December, but if he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t want to,” Danius said.

She noted that literature laureates have skipped the ceremony before. Elfriede Jelinek stayed home in 2004, citing a social phobia.

Harold Pinter and Alice Munro missed the

ceremony in 2005 and 2013, respectively, due to health reasons.

Only two people have declined a Nobel Prize in literature. Boris Pasternak did so under pressure from Soviet authorities in 1958 and JeanPaul Sartre, who declined all official honors, turned it down in 1964.

Dylan, who is currently on tour in the U.S., hasn’t mentioned the Nobel Prize during his concerts since the announcement.

As of Tuesday, his official webpage made no mention of the prize except in the “books” section, where a post dated Oct. 17 about his lyrics collection “The Lyrics: 1961-2012” noted in all caps that he was a Nobel Prize winner.

Dylan has accepted numerous awards over the years, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for which he attended a White House ceremony in 2012. But he also has a history of taking his time acknowledging them. In 2013, he became the first rock star voted into the elite American Academy of Arts and Letters, which made him an honorary member. According to executive director Virginia Dajani, the academy informed Dylan of the decision — through his manager, Jeff Rosen — in January of that year.

Only in May 2013 did Dylan respond, through his manager.

OPINIONS

The strength that comes from anonymity

Elle Johnson I Learned Something Today

Today, I want to talk about anonymity.

Yes, anonymity. It’s the ability to dish out words and actions that are unattached to a name or label, thus avoiding any possible reaction, reward or repercussion. Anonymity isn’t a new phenomenon by any means. However, where they once warned us to “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain,” we now face a larger range of possibility with most anonymous actors operating behind the veil of a computer screen.

Anonymity, on one hand, can be a beautiful thing. It allows us to provide random acts of kindness with little to no chance of receiving any type of compensation in return. Think of paying for a stranger’s meal at a restaurant, placing a wallet found in classroom in the lost-and-found rather than pocketing the cash for yourself or in the digital age or making an anonymous donation towards a GoFundMe for a worthy cause.

In this form, anonymity reminds us of the good in the world. Whatever bad we may see in our personal lives or witness in our external domain, anonymous acts of kindness serve as a gentle pat on back to let us know that we are not alone.

However, anonymity, like all things with brightness, contains a potent dark side.

I won’t delve too deeply into examples of the dark side of anonymity. We’re all familiar with (and likely have dealt with) the ways that anonymous actions and comments can hurt, alienate and dehumanize us to our very core. Some of these acts, of course, are more destructive than others, but they all leave us wondering why this had to happen to us.

Last week, I wrote a column that I knew would garner a mixed response. I considered for several days whether or not to write the column, but decided that I had words that needed to be said and marched forward.

Half of the reason I write this column is to generate discussion. Nothing thrills me more than receiving commentary on my writing, positive or negative, identified or anonymous, so when I do decide to write columns that will be a bit more controversial, I prepare myself with the tools needed to take the anonymous blow if need be.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, yes, I received a few negative anonymous comments towards my last column, but somehow, I feel they’ve made me stronger as a writer and a person.

These anonymous comments, which are not new to my column by any means, remind me of the bad things in the world. They remind me of my own fear to write about certain topics under my name, both out of dread of negative

However, anonymity, like all things with brightness, contains a potent dark side.”

repercussions and worry that the topic won’t be popular enough. They remind me that I have the opportunity to use my words and voice without an anonymous veil everyday to speak out about the issues that truly matter. Overall, these comments inspire me to be a good person and keep writing this column on the matters that count, because if my writing is enough to make people take the time to write these comments, anonymous or not, I must be doing my job pretty well.

However, some anonymous comments aren’t so easy to stand.

This year’s political climate, especially the past couple of weeks, has been undeniably and understandably difficult to endure for so many of us. With so many cruel statements being made by a potential future President of the United States, so many, anonymous and identified, have made the decision to exploit, torment and make fun of the experiences of sexual assault survivors. There appears to be some strange expectation that every experience and emotion associated with sexual assault must be identical, and quite frankly, they’re not.

To all sexual assault survivors, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you are not alone. I want you to know that all your feelings are valid in response to your experiences, politics, media and whatever others may say.

I want you to know how strong you are, how brave you are and most importantly, I want you to know that you are all my personal heroes.

Go forth the remainder of this week and choose your words towards this political climate carefully. Regardless of your political affiliation or whom you may be voting for come Nov. 8, remember than people are people and only deserve to be validated, respected and loved. Take this not as a lesson learned, but as a moral responsibility for all human beings.

Neyland Stadium renovation plans announced Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor Neyland Stadium is getting a facelift.

After nine months of assessing what changes needed to be made to the historic stadium, UT athletics released a concept summary of all the renovations to be made to Neyland Stadium over the next few years.

The plan states that the stadium will be more attendee-friendly and more focused on player safety.

This is something that had to be done, according to Senior Associate AD for Business Operations Brett Huebner. Nine of the other 13 SEC schools have already expanded or renovated their stadiums. Texas A&M was the most recent school to make renovations — a $685 million plan.

Huebner mentioned on Tuesday that UT’s master plan was last updated in 2004.

“A main goal of what we attempted to accomplish when we announced this in mid-January was to update the master plan, given that it had been over a decade,” Huebner said. “We felt it important to revise and update and to take a fresh look at the stadium.”

Phase 01 of this project addresses “highpriority items.” The South Field Wall will be moved back to comply with NCAA guidelines.

This will remove rows J-N. However, padded baseball dugout-style guardrails will be placed to keep players safe. The Field Patio gives fans the closest on-field experience in college football.

Chairback seating will also be added to a new lower bowl section, according to Senior Associate AD for Development/External Operations Chris Fuller.

“I would love to be in a scenario where we could chairback all the seats on both sidelines,” Fuller said. “However, we can’t do that and still maintain a capacity that I feel is really important in the physique of our fanbase. It’s just sort of a lot of competing variables.”

Meanwhile, the opposing team locker rooms will be moved to the southeast. The visiting team, which now enters through the south end zone, will now enter through a tunnel in the southeast corner of the stadium.

Renovation and expansion of the South Concourse are also in the plan, meaning more modern amenities, improved concessions and additional restrooms. Handrail and aisle improvement are mentioned as well, including an extension of aisles to four feet wide.

“The primary components definitely begins work in the south area,” Huebner said. “We will start from the bottom up, literally from the field level, and work our up concourses and around concourses as we get through the phases.”

Phase 01 is set to be started at the end of the 2018 season and will be completed by the start

of the 2019 season.

Phase 02 hosts many other improvements, including a halftime meeting room that includes an operable wall that separates offensive and defensive players, a player recruit room that will be adjacent to the Vol Walk, improvements to the Southeast Entry and the introduction of suites in the southwest.

Phase 03 offers one of the biggest changes in

Do you really want Butch Jones fired?

Trenton Duffer Sports Editor

This “poor, pitiful me” act that Tennessee fans are doing is implorable and kind of silly.

Now, before you start sharpening your spears, dragging my name through the dirt on Twitter (@ trenton_duffer if you’re curious about where to find me) and calling me “hurtful” names like Nega-Vol and whatever else you can think of, hear me out.

For the past few days, I’ve seen people on social media lash out at Butch Jones, calling his actions of losing to Alabama “unforgiveable” and “stupid.” Some, even more it seems this year, have been asking for his job.

Do you really want that? Really?

Think back a few years. If you’re a bandwagon fan, go look this up online. It’s a doozy of a story.

In the year 2009, athletic director Mike Hamilton brought in Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin to coach the Vols after legendary coach Phillip Fulmer led the Vols to a rough 5-7 start. In any other program, 5-7 is looked at as a difficult year. And it really WAS difficult for Tennessee.

Offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe left the Vols to take over as head coach of the Duke Blue Devils football team. Cutcliffe took offensive linemen and tight end coach Matt Luke and running back coach Kurt Roper with him. Wide receiver coach Trooper Taylor also left the Vols to be a co-offensive coordinator

at Oklahoma State.

That’s four pieces of your offense gone. Despite an understandably bad year, Fulmer was fired and Hamilton brought in Kiffin. Kiffin led the Vols to an 8-5 record with a loss in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. And then, he vanished.

Reports came in overnight that said Kiffin had ran for the hills — the Beverly Hills. The rapscallion had taken a job at USC, leaving Vol fans everywhere furious.

Then came Derek Dooley, who honestly deserves an entire column written on why he’s the worst coach in Tennessee history and one of the worst hires in NCAA history. But hey, that’s for another day. Dooley drove this once-proud program into the ground. He went 15-21 in his three seasons here, which doesn’t look that bad, but believe me. It was awful.

Dooley left and in came “Brick by Brick” Butch Jones. It took him a few years, but it seems that he has the program at or near the success level it had in the past.

But yet there are still some out there who want Butch’s head. And I can’t understand why.

Look at programs who fire coaches who have success. And yes, Butch Jones has success here. Nebraska let go of one of my all-time favorite coaches, Bo Pelini, after going 67-27 in his seven years with the school, never winning less than nine games in a season.

Neyland Stadium history — the inclusion of an extra video board. Two 123-foot wide, 32-foot tall videoboards will be installed in the north and south end of the stadiums. The South videoboard will be given a new structure while the North videoboard will be a stand-alone structure.

With the inclusion of these videoboards, every seat in Neyland Stadium will be able to see one of the screens.

Phases 02 and 03 have no timetable for completion, however.

“The tangible care and attention given towards this Knoxville landmark is critical in maintaining a special environment and the significant impact that Neyland Stadium has on our football program,” Athletic Director and Vice Chancellor Dave Hart said in a statement.

“When people think about Tennessee football, they think about Neyland Stadium.”

When asked if the changes would lower the stadium’s seating capacity, Huebner said that the project would keep attendance above 100,000.

Last Friday, the UT Board of Trustees approved a $106 million initial phase package that will be fully funded by gifts from donors and AD operating revenues.

For those wanting to see artists’ renditions of the changes and to explore other changes that will be made to Neyland Stadium, visit this website.

Georgia is in the same boat. Mark Richt, another favorite coach of mine, went 145-51 in 15 seasons with Georgia, but they still let him go. He only won six games in 2010, but every other season has at least 8 wins. Heck, 2002 has 13 wins.

Sure, the Bulldogs and Cornhuskers are ranked now.

But that’s only because they’re using the talent Richt and Pelini brought in. Which brings me back to Butch.

Why is getting rid of Butch Jones the answer here?

Who are you going to bring in to replace him?

Art Briles? Yeah, good luck with that with the lawsuit UT faced. Jon Gruden? No. If you honestly think that Gruden would leave his life of luxury at ESPN to get back to coaching a college team, take a step back and re-evaluate things.

And don’t you dare mention Peyton Manning. That will never happen.

Butch Jones isn’t the problem here. He will garner all the blame because he’s the head coach, but he doesn’t deserve it.

Be proud of your program. I mean, the song does say that it’s “GREAT” to be a Tennessee Vol. Losing 49-10 to the freakish, NFL-like roster of the Crimson Tide is not a fireable offense, especially considering all the injuries the Vols have.

So I implore you to stick with Butch.

He really is the best the Vols could hope for.

The Open Chord hosts John Paul White’s solo return to Knoxville

Mary Beth McCauley Contributor

Believe it or not, the Tennessee Vols have some pretty famous fans, one of them being John Paul White.

The four-time Grammy award winner and former member of the indie folk duo The Civil Wars will be performing at the Open Chord this Saturday, Oct. 22. White is no stranger to the University of Tennessee’s campus after accompanying his dad to many football games while growing up.

“I was born in Alabama, in the Florence area, but lived about 20 minutes north of that just across the state line in Loretta, Tennessee. My parents were Tennessee fans, which made me a Tennessee fan,” White said. “And it sure is tough living amongst all of these Alabama fans.

“A dream of mine is to float from Florence up the Tennessee River and go to a game as a part of the Vol Navy. One of these days, I’ll make it happen.”

White just released his second solo album “Beulah” in August of this year, which has already been incredibly successful. Though this is his second solo record, he said it honestly feels like his first release.

“When I made “The Long Goodbye,” I made it for Capital Records. As soon as I finished it, the president and all the other guys got fired, so the record never really came out,” White said.

“They gave it to me and I put it up online, but I never really promoted it or toured in support of it. It always felt like there was never any real closure, and I never got to see what it would do.”

“Beulah” is White’s chance to fully explore the possibilities and opportunities that come along with a solo music career. Luckily, he has plenty of experience from his time in The Civil Wars to guide him along the way.

“There were a lot of things that I learned about touring and how much that can do for the sales of a record,” White said. “I learned what was worth doing and what wasn’t.”

With a wife and kids back home in Florence, White’s priorities are a little different since his time in The Civil Wars. Being on the road

isn’t always easy, but it can still be extremely rewarding.

“It’s not always a vacation. I miss my family, so I try to stay as busy as possible. It’s definitely a young man’s game,” White said with a laugh.

“Going out after shows, meeting people and feeling like you’re genuinely connecting with people makes me a little less homesick, though.”

White’s new album was released under his own record label, Single Lock Records. Along with Will Trapp, a local businessman, and Ben Tanner, the keyboardist for Alabama Shakes, this label was born in 2013 with the hope that it could give artists a chance to record music they want to record as opposed to music that will sell.

However, releasing a record under your own label comes with a lot more freedom, but also a little more stress.

“If it’s successful, then you get to share that with your team. If it’s not, though, you can’t help but take the blame for it,” White said. “I’m okay with that, though. I’ve been doing this for a while now, so I don’t need anyone else steering the ship in that way.”

“Beulah” holds some similarities with the musical style of The Civil Wars; the same acoustic feel is accompanied by haunting, heartfelt lyrics. This record is not limited to just one style or one sound, though. Among the soft, melodic ballads are instances of electric guitar and drum grooves that will have listeners feeling both the familiarity of old tunes and the exhilaration of new ones.

The Open Chord, where White will be performing, is an intimate venue settled in West Knoxville. This building has seen hundreds of artists, ranging from local performers to worldwide superstars.

“We’ve had many artists like Paul McCartney and Blackfoot perform here, but I really think this show is going to be outstanding. It will sell out in no time,” Randy Holmes, owner of the Open Chord, said. “I am extremely excited for the performance.”

The Kernal will be John Paul White’s opening act this weekend, describing themselves as “country lite.” They are signed to Single Lock Records along with White.
