Take Back the Night empowers survivors Priya Narapareddy Staff Writer

Dominique Montgomery carried a purple and silver poster that read “Women Reclaiming the Night” as she marched silently through UT’s campus Oct. 27.

As part of Take Back the Night 2016, Montgomery, a senior pyschology major marched with about 100 others Thursday night in a mile long route through campus to empower survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Montgomery said the sign she carried gave her the opportunity to honor herself and her loved ones while reclaiming what was taken from them through domestic violence and sexual assault.

“It’s a generational issue,” she said.

The event opened with a resource fair at

the HSS Amphitheatre and progressed into a silent march starting on Pedestrian Walkway and ending at HSS. After the march, there was a reading by keynote speaker Alexis Pauline Gumbs, followed by a speak-out session and candlelight vigil.

Gumbs, a poet and author, was sexually assaulted when she was in college. She encouraged those in the audience to dedicate their time at Take Back the Night to a loved one.

“Sexual violence is not only an individual experience,” Gumbs said.

Nora Berenstain, a philosophy professor at UT, described Take Back the Night as an opportunity for survivors to regain agency after a traumatic experience.

“The name signifies reclaiming a space that survivors of sexual violence had taken away from them,” Berenstain said.

The speak-out gave survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault an opportunity to share their stories. Counselors from the UT

Counseling Center were also present for any attendees who may have become overwhelmed.

Take Back the Night is sponsored by the Women’s Coordinating Council. Danyelle Norment, the council president, said the event is held to give everyone a safe space to get the resources they need to heal. Norment said these resources can include counseling, medical care or just having someone to confide in.

Norment is a senior who has been a part of the Women’s Coordinating Council since the spring of her freshman year. She said the Women’s Coordination Council has been on campus since the 1960s, however, this is its first year as an independent student organization.

Norment said Take Back the Night is an especially important event on a college campus where women are at an even higher risk of attack.

“We all need to pitch in,” Norment said. “It’s definitely preventable. I want to do my part to make sure we stop it.”

Take Back the Night took place in the HSS Amphitheater Thursday, Oct. 27.

UT’s veteran veterinarian combines passions Priya Narapareddy Staff Writer

Taylor Opel has a unique distinction on UT’s campus; she is a vet-vet.

Opel, who is a native of California, served in the Army for eight years as a military veterinarian. She is currently pursuing her masters in veterinary public health at UT. Opel, who chose to become a vet because of her passion for animals, said she was able to combine a career she is passionate about with her interest in travel through the military.

Opel said her career as an Army vet has enabled her to live in many places, including Puerto Rico.

“It (living in Puerto Rico) was like being on vacation for three years,” she said.

In the future, Opel said she hopes to serve in a teaching position within the army and live overseas again. Opel said she would be inter-

ested in serving in Germany or Japan.

“The military is excellent for traveling,” she said. “I want to see and do as many things as I can.”

Opel’s veterinary career started out unexpectedly. Although she knew she wanted to become a vet, she originally wanted to teach horseback riding. Opel’s mentors, however, encouraged her to pursue veterinary school.

After graduating from UC Davis with an undergraduate degree in animal science, Opel discovered a military scholarship program to help her finance veterinary school. Opel said once she was accepted into the army, she was required to make a three-year commitment to the program. After her first three years, Opel chose to stay.

“I worked with amazing, amazing soldiers,” Opel said.

Opel earned her doctor of veterinary medicine at Washington State University. Her work has included food inspection for humans and learning about how therapy animals can benefit

veterans. The Army is the only branch of the military that has veterinarians.

Opel and her husband have two dogs, two cats and fish at home. She said her goal as a veterinarian is to keep animals healthy and living as long as they can for their families.

“I know how much animals mean to me,” Opel said. “Animals need us. They give us love unconditionally.”

Because Opel has had many unexpected opportunities through the military, she encourages others to be open to trying new things and seeing where they lead.

“Be flexible and open to new doors and new ideas,” she said. “I’ve had a lot of unexpected, amazing opportunities.”

The UT College of Veterinary Medicine will be recognizing its students, faculty members and staff who have served in the military on Veterans Day, which is Nov. 11.

“We’ve had several veterans come here through the years,” Sandra Harbison, the college’s director of media relations, said.

New online platform connects voters with local lawmakers Annie Tieu

Contributor Voters have a new way to contact lawmakers through POPVOX, an online platform for connecting the public to their representatives. Started in 2011, it allows citizens to find out about bills pending in Congress, share their input with the representatives and view the opinions of other people in the country.

The name comes from the Latin phrase “Vox populi,” meaning “voice of the people.” According to its website, POPVOX is “a direct connection to policy-makers and a real time snapshot of the conversations others are having with lawmakers on the issues you care about.”

POPVOX began at the federal level and is planning to move to state levels in January 2017. The company has been testing out its platform on a state level with a pilot program, starting with California and, now, with Tennessee.

The website features public data about bills that are introduced in Congress.

Advocacy organizations register their profiles on the site along with their positions endorsing or opposing bills. After they register, a verified constituent can weigh in.

Originally from West Tennessee, Marci Harris, CEO and co-founder of POPVOX, started the platform as a result of her experiences as a Congressional staffer.

She noticed there seemed to be tension between lawmakers and constituents, and constituents did not feel they were being heard or understood by these representatives.

“POPVOX is set up to make it easier for the constituent to find out what’s going on and share their voice … but in a structured way,” she said. It is meant to help distinguish “signal from noise.”

Harris said that POPVOX does not seem to have any negative consequences from being an online platform. It makes up the hardship from being an online platform by emphasizing the importance of the public’s voice in politics.

“It’s less a technical challenge that seems to be in people’s way when it comes to getting involved and more the familiarity with the process or feeling like they should be involved or that their voice will be heard,” Harris said.

Generally, older people, she said, more than younger people, tend to be aware of the power of constituents and the process of getting involved.

“POPVOX is something that we all feel should be done. Making government more approachable for the user seems like something that should just happen. It’s kind of nice to work for something that you truly believe in,” Ben Harris, the chief operations officer of POPVOX, said.

The Baker Center is just one of the stops Marci Harris and Ben Harris are making in Tennessee to explain and get feedback about POPVOX. Aside from Knoxville, they plan on traveling to Chattanooga, Nashville, Jackson and end in Memphis.

“I see POPVOX as an especially effective vehicle for us as students to connect with and attract the attention of our legislators … With the tumultuous relationship that exists between a lot of students here on campus and our state legislators, POPVOX provides a proactive mechanism to demonstrate to these legislators the issues that we as students care about and want to see resolved,” Alina Clay, senior at UT, said.

“As a young voter, I especially see POPVOX as a great, and not to mention easy, way for us to get engaged in the legislative process.”

The art of vulnerability Hancen Sale

As it stands

I remember when I hit the send button. It is an overly vulnerable feeling — that is, when you press send on something, knowing you cannot take back whatever it is you have said. Hiding behind a screen perhaps intensifies the growing anxiety because, as close but as far away as you may be, you will never experience your counterparts most genuine reaction. Sure, you will speak and continue living alongside one another, but you have lost what could have been an authentic moment of a shared connection.

I still regret this decision — to rob my brothers and I of a moment so powerful. But, the feeling is nonetheless esoteric and simply looking at what could have been is often not the purest form of reflection. Up to this point, I could have lived my entire live differently, but where is the worth in dwelling on decisions that have already been made?

The worth is found in sharing those experiences — I guess — in keeping those you love from making the same mistakes. It might even be honorable to tell those you don’t know, so even they are protected from losing those small moments of humanity.

Thus, by sharing this with you, it is my intent

Why are we scared?

Kimberly Bress

Real World Problem Solving

There’s something about being scared which is both aversive and attractive. From the sensation of fright in a darkly lit haunted house to shivers of fear which accompany the climactic scene in a horror movie, the experience of being scared is one that we love to hate. While there are evolutionary foundations for some fears, such as aversion to poisonous animals, fear can also be learned. By relating a neutral object or experience with a negative consequence, we can fabricate a condition of phobia that would not naturally exist. Because fear represents an intersection between innate biology and constructed behavior, it can be uniquely manipulated as a source of both pain and pleasure.

In recent centuries, fright has become a form of entertainment. Industries are built around thrills, the source of their profit being people’s mystifying desire to scare themselves.

Dr. Margee Kerr, an expert in fear from the University of Pittsburgh, has done extensive research on these social constructions of the scare response. “One of the reasons people love Halloween is because fright produces strong emotional responses,” she describes. “Those responses work to build stronger relationships and memories. When we’re happy, or afraid, we’re releasing powerful hormones that are working to make these moments stick in our brains.”

OPINIONS

to keep you from experiencing the regret of those lost moments.

You may rarely indulge in sentimentality, but it is something important to embrace if you want to grow. It is an eerie but indispensable part of living — to approach your emotions with a sort of reckless abandon.

Sadly, society tells us a different story. We are told to hold back and hide from the inherent vulnerability of life. If we are scared, we are urged to put on a hardened face in order to scare back.

We are expected to get back up with an intent combativeness, so as to punish any of those who contributed in knocking us down. From a very young age, we are taught that all of the world is against us; so, in order to succeed, we are urged to fight back with a venomous kind of resiliency.

In turn, we are robbed of our humanity.

Behind that façade of toughness, there is an acute apprehension that accompanies vulnerability; that is where I found myself. But, to remedy my fear of abandonment, I found myself behind a screen — sending pixelated rather than paroled words. I found myself at a blurry, dusty intersection — one way held in it freedom, the other held in it “death as plausible option.”

In that state of mind, I wrote to my brothers wholeheartedly: words of affection, words of despair, words of tribulation and words of aspiration. I regret not being able to speak them; I regret allowing my fear of vulnerability overcome me. I regret robbing my brothers, myself, of a prominent moment of human relation.

But, now, I am past it — wishing I would have indulged more in person.

I was avoiding the truth about vulnerability — which is simply a recapitulation of the human condition. Although, mastering the art of vulnerability is both incredibly easy and exceptionally arduous; it is uncovering the stomach and allowing your assailant a perfect shot to the gut, trusting that your body can take it.

So, I decided to grow, knowing the few hundred pixels on my screen could never truly express the gravity of those words.

I distinctly remember scripting those first few words.

“I’m gay.”

Particularly, the enjoyment of scary situations is conditional on our perception of personal security. When we are in a safe place, rapid increases in adrenaline and endorphins are exhilarating rather than an emotionally scarring.

The spirit of Halloween is enticing because it allows us to experience fear without suffering long-term ramifications. Tiptoeing through a haunted house, watching a scary movie or seeing friends in frightening costumes are fabricated encounters with fear. While they allow us to experience a rush of intense emotion and enjoy its gradual regression into relief, we walk away with nothing more than a story to tell and a memory to laugh about.

However, there is another more serious reason behind the popular love of the scary side of Halloween. “There is the enjoyment that comes with the ability to experiment with what it might feel like in a different skin, the ability to be something else with little to no consequence,” iterates Dr. Kerr. In the world that exists before and after Oct. 31, experiences of intense fear or fright can be much more real and much less fun. Halloween provides people with an opportunity to escape themselves, if only for a night. Students manage many perilous life circumstances, from uncertainty in finances to existential questions of purpose. Some may face even darker devils, in the form of traumatic

personal experiences, regret or failure. Gaudy festivity and spooky celebration distract from the fears which are under our costumes, the fears which we face on every other day of the year.

What do we do when our fear is not fun?

Unlike a haunted house or a horror movie, our real insecurities cannot be shut off or removed at will. They don’t just leave us with sweaty palms and a racing heartbeat, but with anxiety, exhaustion and stress. The way a person chooses to approach their fear is a personal decision.

However, while we can fret or forget for as long as we want, there will be no real resolution until we confront the things which scare us. It may take just a moment of courage. It may take years of fighting. But, eventually, we will find a way to stand up to the ghosts of the past and ghouls of the future, defined not by the things we fear but the strength with which we face them.

Here’s to hoping that this Monday is as safe as it is spooky. If you are looking for support in facing your non-Halloween related fears, make sure to contact the Counseling Center at counselingcenter@utk.edu or 864-974-2196. And maybe while you’re at it, eat a couple of fun sized candy bars.

The “Jarred” gallery is located in the Frieson Black Cultural Center from Oct. 24 through Oct. 31. Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon

‘Jarring’ art raises social awareness at Black Cultural Center Anu Kumar

Staff Writer It seems that on campus, everyone agrees that 2016 has been a wild year filled with political uproar and more ripples in our relatively calm lifestyle.

At times, we are bombarded with so much information about disturbing events – civil wars in distant countries, social movements and mobs within our borders and two major political figures battling for the executive position of America. Last week, the Frieson Black Cultural Center held a showing of artwork dedicated to these types of “ripples” that we see as normal in our daily lives.

“Jarred presents a call for attention of distur-

bances, may they be personal, political or social,” Danielle Tyler, the founder of the Manumit Gallery, said. “Some of our works feature police brutality responses, a breakdown of stereotypes or searches for understanding.”

Khira Parks, junior majoring in child and family studies minoring in printmaking, includes prints of various jellyfish patterns. Parks says she took inspiration from a trip she took to the aquarium this summer in Florida, noting their air of freedom.

“I’ve never really looked at jellyfish or paid attention to them (before), but something about seeing 50 jellyfish in a tank was so majestic,” Parks said. “They’re free and flowy, and I just connected to that. I feel like I’m a free-spirited person.”

Her jellyfish personify the freedom that Parks

and other students may not always feel, even on UT’s campus.

“It’s so easy for an institution to make you feel suffocated,” Parks said. “I feel that a lot of the time – I can’t be myself, or do the things I want to do because I feel like I have to impress someone.”

Another artist featured in the “Jarred” gallery was Brittany Mason, senior majoring in 2D studio art with a concentration in art education. Her photographs depicted a mugshot-like background of black students on UT’s campus, and the students held signs with their majors or aspirations. Some of the signs said things like, “Doctor,” “Engineer,” “Black Writer” and so on.

“When they talk about black victims, or black people in general, no matter what the story is, it’s either a mugshot or a picture that doesn’t show

them in a positive light,” Mason said.

Mason wanted to use the mugshot concept but add the positive aspect of their career goals into the artwork, showing that not everyone is as media portrays them to be. Mason has also been focusing on this certain direction in her art, concentrating on black culture and how it’s perceived and stereotyped. She also plans to pursue commercial photography as well as art education once she graduates.

Multiple other artists were featured in the gallery, showing similar concepts such as freedom and contrasting concepts such as depression.

The Manumit Gallery showing of “Jarred” is an artistic way to make students step back from the information overload received every day and opens their eyes to what is happening in the world and on campus.

Convention brings out celebrities, local talent Mary Beth McCauley Staff Writer

Whether you’re a Trekkie, a Whovian, a comic book collector or just a pop culture fan, there’s something for everyone at Knoxville’s Halloween Weekend Fanboy Expo.

This year’s convention brought headlining celebrities Andy Biersack, also known as Andy Black, his wife and fellow musician Juliet Simms, Anthony Michael Hall, Bruce Kulick, Chris Sarandon and many more. Along with celebrities, Fanboy hosted several comic book artists and science fiction writers from all over the country.

The expo’s busiest day was Saturday, but Sunday afternoon was still action packed. The special guests spent most of the day meeting fans and taking photos while shop vendors sold paintings, drawings, books and other collectible merchandise throughout the event hall.

There were some pretty unique booths set up.

One booth sold candles, but they weren’t your typical scents. These had scents that related back to popular television shows, movies and

other fandoms.

A scent called “Valar Morghulis,” a nod to Game of Thrones, smelled of leather and cherries. Another scent called “Bow ties are cool” smelled exactly how you would imagine the Eleventh Doctor would smell … fish sticks and custard, but light on the fish sticks.

The Ecto-1 made a special appearance along with some Ghostbusters; even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was seen posing for photos.

The Impala from Supernatural was parked close by, allowing visitors to get behind the wheel for a few minutes. Though the car is typically referred to as “Baby,” this particular replica was named “Hunter” and is owned by a local cosplayer, Last Action Josh.

Perhaps the best thing about the convention was the cosplayers in attendance. Even though it is common for people to dress up at conventions like these, Halloween weekend really brought out some phenomenal costumes.

Some of the most popular costumes were characters like Harley Quinn, the Joker, Negan from The Walking Dead and Ghostbusters.

There were also many intricate costumes that appealed to a certain niche of fans. Even little kids were dressed in costumes that sometimes

Gamecocks shock Vols behind teenage QB Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor When the Tennessee Vols finished their brutal four game SEC stretch two weeks ago, the path to a two-loss season and a

possible berth in the SEC championship game was in sight.

However, that all came to a screeching halt on Saturday night, Oct. 29.

The Vols (5-3, 2-3) faltered early against the South Carolina Gamecocks (4-4, 2-4) and were never able to recover in a 24-21 defeat at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Penalties seemed to be the main concern for the Vols as they committed nine on the game for 87 yards with most of them coming on special teams. “We had too many penalties on special teams,� head coach Butch Jones said. “We would do a good job on getting the ball out on returns so those were momentum killers.�

The Vols started off slow once again as South Carolina scored on its opening possession going 73 yards in just nine plays.

The Gamecocks managed 325 total yards on the game with freshman running back Rico Dowdle gaining 128 of those yards on the ground.

For the Vols defense, giving up big plays seem to be the issue. “We just have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot,� junior Kendall Vickers said. “A couple of break down in coverage led to big plays,� sophomore Darrin Kirkland Jr. said. “Overall, schematically there weren’t too many big problems that we had.

They just hit some big plays at bad times.�

Offensively, the Vols senior quarterback Josh Dobbs was out of rhythm for most of the game. Dobbs finished the game with just 161 yards and threw two interceptions along with his one touchdown pass. “I felt like I didn’t play up to my standard personally,� Dobbs said. “I am a tough critic on myself so I’ll get it corrected and move forward.�

On the ground, the Vols were limited but

productive at times.

With Alvin Kamara out already and Jalen Hurd not playing in the second half, the run game was dependent on sophomore John Kelly. Kelly took advantage of his opportunity, gaining 94 yards on the ground and showing flashes of potential. “I felt like I took advantage of the opportunities that came my way with the amount of carries and touches that I was able to get,� Kelly said.

However, despite Kelly playing well, another young running back made one of the biggest mistakes of the game.

Freshman Carlin Fils-Aime was forced to play in the game and on a pass early in the fourth quarter misread a play, hitting Josh Dobbs arm and causing him to fumble the ball. “It was a run pass option, and I was trying to throw it out on the perimeter.

And he came through, he thought he was getting the ball, and he hit me as I threw,�

Dobbs said.

On the defensive side, Derek Barnett was the bright spot.

Barnett finished the game with just four tackles. However, three of those were

sacks. The Vols as a whole finished the game having four different players with sacks.

Freshman Nigel Warrior played significant minutes in the second half due to the mountain of injuries, and, though having just two tackles, both proved vital at the time. Junior Evan Berry provided a huge spark for the Vols late in the third quarter after South Carolina kicked a field goal to go up 17-7. Berry took the kickoff and exploded up the middle of the field to score on a 100-yard kickoff return.

The Vols, however, couldn’t keep the momentum going.

The Vols had a chance at the end but kicker Aaron Medley was well short on a 58-yard field goal to tie the game.

For the Vols moving forward, the goal of going 1-0 each week remains the same. “We’re just going to keep working,� Kelly said. “There’s a lot more football to play so that’s all we are going to do. We’re just going to keep improving and learn from this loss and keep working.�

The Vols will be back at Neyland stadium next Saturday as they take on Tennessee Tech. That game will begin at 4 pm.

VOLLEYBALL

Vols close out deciding third set to down Auburn David Bradford Staff Writer

At one point during Tennessee’s critical SEC matchup with Auburn, Erica Treiber felt it was appropriate to amuse the crowd with the worm during a timeout.

The gesture was symbolic of the Vols’ attitude on Sunday afternoon.

Despite being locked in a blood-pumping, back-and-forth third set, Tennessee remained loose and managed to stave off three set points in its 3-0 (25-21, 25-23, 30-28) victory over the Tigers.

The win ended Tennessee’s five-match losing streak against Auburn.

“You couldn’t tell by looking at them (the players during the third set) that it was 28 all or that they were fighting off set points,” head coach Rob Patrick said. “That’s what we’ve been talking about a lot. We need to find a place that we just play hard, and we play with a lot of energy … that’s what carried us through.”

Just a couple of weeks ago, Patrick couldn’t put his finger on Tennessee’s slow starts. On Sunday, that wasn’t the case as the Vols grabbed a pair of early leads in the first and second sets.

Although the Tigers were able to mount comebacks in each set, Tennessee (15-8, 5-5 SEC) closed out each set thanks to the stellar play of Bri Holmes.

The Vols celebrate their win against Auburn on Oct. 30, 2016 at Thompson Boling Arena. Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon Holmes finished the match with a team-high 13 kills, but feels that she’s just a cog in a welltuned engine revving up toward the orange and white’s toughest portion of it schedule.

“Up until now, nobody has seen us at our best,” Holmes said. “Now that people see us at our best, we got to take it up a notch.”

The Vols were at their best in the third set. After grabbing a commanding 17-11 lead, Auburn (13-11, 7-4 SEC) again rallied and eventually faced a set point. However, Tennessee managed to tie the set and fight off two additional set points.

After failing to convert on two set points of their own, Holmes delivered the match-winning

strike.

Although Holmes had one of her finest performance of the season, she and the rest of the team are not only playing loose, but for teammate Bridgette Villano, who for the second straight year has suffered a season-ending knee injury.

“Just playing for her is one of our mottos,” Holmes said. “We had that in the back of our heads. We also keep in the back of our heads that we haven’t beaten Auburn in five straight matches. That’s something we really wanted to accomplish today.”

The orange and white will next take on Missouri at Thompson-Boling Arena on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. ET.

SOCCER

SEC Tournament awaits Vols soccer Tyler Wombles Staff Writer

With a 3-1 loss to the Auburn Tigers on Thursday night, Oct. 27, the Tennessee Volunteers soccer team’s regular season slate is behind them.

But the squad must now face another challenge: the SEC Tournament.

The Volunteers are the No. 7 seed in the bracket and will square off against the 10-seed Ole Miss Rebels Monday in the opening game of the tournament.

Junior Carlyn Baldwin, who was a freshman the last time Tennessee made it to the SEC Tournament, said that the prospect of competing in the tournament once again is “pretty exciting.”

“Missing out on it last year was definitely a bummer,” Baldwin said. “But I’m really excited about how this team came together and got the job done. So we’re excited to go down there.”

The Volunteers will look to halt several of Ole Miss’s weapons on offense. Senior Addie Forbus leads the team with eight goals and 20 points,

while sophomore CeCe Kizer follows closely with five goals and 16 points.

Defensively, the Rebels boast redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Marnie Merritt, who has recorded 69 saves on the season. Merritt has forced four separate shut out games on the year.

But Tennessee head coach Brian Pensky exudes confidence in the focus and mentality of his team to strive for greatness against opponents.

“Honestly, we have a lot of kids right now that are very focused and very determined,” Pensky said. “They are just invested in being great, invested in our team being great. So it’s kind of hard to point to any one individual because collectively as a team we are pretty darn focused right now.”

If the Volunteers defeat Ole Miss, they will face the Auburn Tigers for the second round of the tournament, in a rematch of the loss on Thursday.

Three Vols Garner Awards: On Sunday, three Volunteers were awarded SEC postseason honors.

For the second time in her Tennessee career, Hannah Wilkinson was named first-team All-

SEC. Wilkinson, a standout for the Volunteers, finished the regular season tied for fourth in the SEC in goals (10), placed second in assists (9) and tied for third in points (29). She is the fourth player in Tennessee history to earn All-SEC firstteam honors in multiple seasons.

Wilkinson is now second on Tennessee’s list of career goals with 32 and third for the program in points with 82.

Rylie O’Keefe was named second-team AllSEC after a season in which she tied for sixth nationally with nine assists. She scored five goals on the season, and recorded 19 points. O’Keefe also led the team with three game-winning goals on the year.

Maya Neal was named to the SEC AllFreshman team after a breakout season. Neal scored three goals and recorded seven points this season and helped the team force four conference shutouts after moving from forward to center back.

Neal joins Katie Cousins (2015) and Baldwin (2014) as active Vols that have been named to the SEC All-Freshman Team.

The three players awarded recognition were the most for Tennessee since 2011.
