Hurd down and out Star running back out for Tennessee Trenton Duffer Sports Editor

Rob Harvey Asst. Sports Editor Tennessee’s soap opera season just got even more convoluted.

Junior running back Jalen Hurd has decided to transfer from the team, head coach Butch Jones said on Monday, Oct. 31.

Jones said that he spoke to Hurd on Monday morning, when the junior running back informed him of the transfer.

“I support him on that,” Jones said. “I’m very, very thankful for everything that he’s done for our football program.”

Hurd entered the season as the Vols’ No. 1 running back and was only 891 yards away from breaking the Vols’ all-time rushing lead entering the season.

He finishes the season with 122 rushes for 451 yards and three touchdowns – just 440 yards short of the crown in sixth place.

There was no reason specifically given for Hurd’s departure. Jones said that it could be the complications of a long football season but that he “doesn’t want to speak for Jalen.”

“There’s a lot of things that went into that decision,” Jones said. “I value our relationship and have a lot of respect for that young man and wish him nothing but the best.”

Hurd supposedly suffered an injury before

Volume 132 Issue 49

the Texas A&M game – an injury that the staff called a “lower extremity” at the time.

Since being injured against the Aggies, Hurd had only 31 carries for 86 yards and one touchdown.

Some reports also have Hurd moving to the wide receiver or tight end position, but no confirmation from Jones or Hurd has been given.

Hurd finishes his Tennessee career with 589 rushes for 2,638 yards and 20 touchdowns. He averaged 4.7 and 4.6 yards per carry in his first two seasons but saw that total dip down to 3.7 this season. That and his 64.4 yards per game this season were both career lows.

Alvin Kamara, Hurd’s backup and a team captain, is currently injured and will not play this weekend against Tennessee Tech (TV: SEC Network, 4 p.m.).

Jones said on Monday that he hopes to have Kamara for the Kentucky game on Nov. 12.

John Kelly is the next running back up for the Vols, and offensive coordinator Mike DeBord spoke highly of the sophomore on Monday.

“John Kelly’s been playing, and he’s been doing a really good job,” DeBord said. “We feel comfortable with John Kelly, so we’ll keep going … We have great confidence in him, and he’s displayed that.

A UT professor may have unlocked the secret to PokemonGO’s appeal -- the thrill of the chase.

Vladimir Dinets, a research assistant professor of psychology, published a case study, “Spontaneous Development of Hunting-Like Behavior in A Juvenile Human: A Case Study,” in which focused on himself and asked whether the instinct to hunt is natural or learned.

“My experience clearly shows that huntinglike behavior can be developed by human children spontaneously in isolation from others, even when it has no obvious adaptive value,” Dinets said in the case study.

The inner hunter aspect has its roots in a time when grocery stores did not exist and hunting was the only way to survive.

The way that this instinct plays out now is different than when hunting was imperative.

Now, there are other ways to feed the inner hunter.

“Of course now, you don’t really have to go hunting to kill animals. There are so many interesting ways to do this without killing,” Dinets said.

Autumn Lester, a freshman in psychology who is currently enrolled in a research methods class, is learning to critique studies, such as Dinets.

“I mostly found it interesting when he talked about how over time, humans have found … less detrimental ways to hunt like doing the catch and release fishing and just like bird watching instead of like killing the birds, and I do think it’s reassuring,” Lester said.

Although it appeared more prevalent in the past, the instinct to hunt is, due to its lack of necessity in modern society, less common than it was before.

“It looks like some people have it and some people don’t,” Dinets said. “For some time, hunting is no longer essential for our survival, so there is no natural selection to support it, and some people have lost it and some people still have it.”

Games like Pokémon GO, where the player’s goal is to hunt and capture Pokémon, are in part so popular because of the inner hunter instinct described in Dinets’ research.

“It’s exactly the same. It’s the same instinct.

Pokémon GO is for people who live in cities so they cannot go outside and look for real animals, so they look for Pokémon,” Dinets said.

Since most of Dinets’ research on the topic drew from a case study on himself, Lester believes that studying the hunter instinct more extensively would be worthwhile.

“There’s no possible way for you to have a control group,” Lester said. “He really needs to go in and find a group of children that he’s going to study.”

Dinets, although intrigued by the subject, does not know if he will pursue the topic any further.

“I would like to continue,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll have time or opportunity to do those because human study is kind of difficult.”

Activists discuss problems, brainstorm solutions Sean Kennedy Contributor Over the weekend, UT hosted a movement for social, political and economic change on college campuses.

The United Campus WorkersCommunications Workers of America (UCW-CWA), a union for higher education employees, held their 16th Annual Labor and Change Teach-In conference Oct. 28-29 at the Panhellenic Building. They addressed issues affecting the University of Tennessee and other college campuses throughout the state.

The United Campus Workers group was created shortly after the very first Teach-In conference at UT back in 2000. Since then, the UCW-CWA and various college faculty, students and staff members from all over the

state have gathered together every year at the event to speak on various social justice issues and formulate solutions.

This year’s conference featured Dr. Frances Fox Piven, sociologist and activist, and Larry Cohen, former president of CWA and the current chair of Our Revolution, a movement seeking to organize and support a new generation of progressive leaders.

The teach-in also had panel discussions led by various UT employees, faculty, staff and students as well as faculty and staff members from different college campuses from all over the state.

UT Social Science Coordinator and current president of the UCW-CWA Diana Moyer spoke Saturday at one of the panel discussions, touching on issues like livable wages and unfair raises that, Moyer said, do little for many UT employees that make lower wages.

“Sixty-eight percent of the workers on campus weren’t making a living wage in 2000. It affected everyone in the UT community having that many employees on campus not making a livable wage,” Moyer said. “Currently, we are working on getting a flat dollar rate raise for campus workers rather than percent raises that typically only benefit a smaller percentage of UT employees paid more than most.”

UCW Chapter Vice President and UT staff member Elizabeth Owen spoke at the panel alongside Moyer. Owen, a graduate of UT and current employee at the admissions office on campus, has been a member of the UCW for six years.

“I joined the UCW the day I was hired at UT,” Owen said. “We are a social justice union, that’s how we started. We have always fought hard when it comes to issues regarding diversity and inclusion at UT.”

Baker Center opens for early voting, sees impressive start Annie Tieu

Contributor “Avoid being discounted,” reads a sign inside the Howard H. Baker Junior Center for Public Policy, where from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3, voters registered in Knox County can cast their bid for the next U.S. President.

Early voting is taking place in the Toyota Auditorium of the Baker Center, and students with an official ID could start voting as early as Monday.

On the first day, Oct. 31, there was an impressive turnout of voters, from students, faculty and Knoxville residents.

Nissa Dahlin-Brown, associate director of the Baker Center, was one of the people who helped launch and organize early voting at the center.

“It’s so important particularly for students because laws that are enacted in the next congress are going to impact [young voters] a lot more than they are going to impact me in the future,” Dahlin-Brown said. “So, you need to have your voice heard and make sure they understand.”

Many students expressed similar opinions to Dahlin-Brown’s, saying that the Baker Center provides a convenient alternative. Voters who wait until Nov. 8 will likely endure longer lines,

If the Baker Center didn’t have early voting, I probably wouldn’t have voted because I have no way to get there.”

Thomas Patten, freshman in exploratory

and they will have to vote at a specific location based on the address they registered with.

“It’s important to have your opinion stated.

You can’t be mad about who’s in office if you don’t vote,” Thomas Patten, freshman in exploratory, said. “And if the Baker Center didn’t have early voting, I probably wouldn’t have voted The Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy is located on 1640 Cumberland because I have no way to get there.”

The Baker Center is open from 8 a.m. to 8 Avenue and is one of the locations for early voting.

To scare or not to scare

Jarrod Nelson Socialized

What makes for a good Halloween costume?

Does it need to be spooky, horrifying, unsettling, or positively perturbing? There are legions of Halloween fundamentalists out there right now, raging against the invasion of sexy nurse and ketchup and mustard into a sacred tradition of fright, fear and freaking weird. Make no mistake, the scary Halloween costume is a dying breed.

It was first creatively colonized by intentionally inferior “scary” costumes that so aggressively displayed an ironic sense of humor that they seemed over-compensatory. Think “Dracula,” but with just fangs and a black robe. It’s possibly the worst substitution since the “Miracle on Ice.” But now we have funny costumes. Racist costumes have been having a good run, honestly.

There have been a lot of frat guys with an absolutely crystallized commitment to the sombrero this year because they think drinking Corona makes them cultured. I think those are on their way out though. People are slowly realizing that racism is not funny, and it will only take one term of a Trump presidency and 50 years of alcoholic therapy to make the phenomenon implode in on itself like a dying star.

I wish I knew the history of the funny costume.

I would want to know the exact circumstances that birthed this bastardization into being. Granted, it is a lovable bastard. It’s the Jon Snow of holiday traditions. But unlike Jon Snow, I know something.

At least one something.

I know what makes a good Halloween costume.

When I was a kid, Halloween was my favorite holiday. In recent years, there has been a strong, positive correlation between my body fat content and love for Thanksgiving, suggesting an onyx black hole of a cycle that I will be completely powerless to break until TLC is filming my life for the guilty pleasure of others. My President’s Day celebrations are intensely personal and private. But when I was a kid, Halloween was the one night of the year where I could play pretend and act out the sympathetically selfish scenarios that form in the head of every only child.

Naturally, I went as Woody from Toy Story four times in a row.

Besides thinking that I’m the milkiest of toasts though, my costume choice tells you something about me. It lets you know that I love Tom Hanks and think Tim Allen is overrated. It lets you know

that I had a love for Westerns and oddly developed sense of justice. It lets you know that I had absolutely no problem being a toy.

Think about what you wear. I wear jeans almost every day, but some guys like shorts. I’m a t-shirt man but others are into drug rugs. Whether you are aware of it or not, what you wear is a statement about who you are. Half of you are flashing back to middle school right now with a thousand-yard stare and one hell of a glue induced headache.

But of all things you learned in middle school, it’s probably the one thing that you already knew.

The best Halloween costumes are not scary. They are not sexy. They are not funny. They are just an exaggerated version of who you are. They’re like outfits that dropped acid for the first time. The best costumes just ooze effort and expression that gets constrained by t-shirts and style. This year, I went as Daredevil. I saw a bonanza of clever costumes though. It seems like there are more every year.

Maybe things are just scary enough as is.

The influence of social media on the election Allie Clouse Contributor

The 2016 Presidential election has been unlike any other. At least that’s what everyone older than me says.

I assume there is some truth to this statement.

After all, I don’t think our early presidents were concerned with email scandals, although they might have worn wigs (looking at you, Trump).

Jokes aside, we have seen some interesting things happen this election season. One major factor that has played an important role specifically this year is the use of social media. From campaign announcements to not-so-indirect tweets, it is apparent that the influence of social media has grown to become a primary source of election coverage this year. In fact, it is actually the topic my English professor chose to explore this semester.

Dr. Marcel Brouwers explained why he chose this topic by saying, “My goals for students … include an increased understanding of the power of language to shape our perceptions. Words matter and, in the context of our potential leaders, those words’ impact locally and internationally matter all the more.”

I believe he’s right. Using social media as a campaigning medium allows candidates to reach a much broader, younger audience, which is beneficial since millennial voters (like my classmates and I) now make up the majority of the voting population.

In addition, it is a cheap alternative to traditional campaigning methods and online content is usually reported further on television, reaching even more potential voters.

But how effective are posts at conveying the candidates’ actual viewpoints on the issues?

Often most of the candidates’ press is produced by online users who assert their own opinion and sometimes not in the most serious way. For example, the recent debates broke records both on Twitter and Facebook, showing people were engaged with the event, but the real focus of the conversation was on Kenneth Bone.

His red sweater, dependable mustache and humble demeanor won over the internet immediately. After his short, yet influential, appearance, Bone’s phone notifications blew up. According to an interview by The Washington Post, Bone recieved thousands of messages from people across Twitter and Facebook, including an invitation to the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Moreover, merchandise promoting Bone has been sold, songs have been written in his honor and he is already expected to be one of the most popular Halloween costumes this year. This is not to say that Ken Bone does not deserve some recognition for his insightful question about America’s energy crisis, however I feel that social media’s obsession with meming has caused disruption in the election process.

Ken Bone is just one example of what we have seen happening repeatedly this election season. The Los Angeles Times even named memes the language of the 2016 election. Despite their humor and the “break” they offer from the seemingly never-ending political disputes, memes blur real governmental

issues without any suggestion for progress.

Furthermore, while it is common for supporters to rally together, social media companies have also been accused of both intentional and incidental bias during this election.

Facebook knows this all too well. The company and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, were recently targeted by numerous conservative groups for promoting liberal opinions while suppressing articles from right wing news sources in its “trending” section.

Although Zuckerberg has denied these accusations multiple times, he does not reject his own political beliefs. Instead, the mogul expressed his inclusive vision for the company. But Facebook is not the only one with this problem.

Twitter’s process of selecting suggested users and tweets as well as stories in the new “moments” feature is extremely controversial. Some argue that offering these recommendations fosters an “echo chamber effect” where individuals only see ideas that agree with their own and never expand their thinking.

Therefore, your friends online and even the network you use could be impacting your view on politics.

So with voting upon us, how can you be sure you’re getting valuable, trustworthy information online?

Well, the only advice I can offer before hitting the polls is to be aware of your own beliefs, stay alert online and always think before you meme.

Potterheads gather at Barnes and Noble for Mugglecon Cierra Sexton

Contributor Sometimes fundraising events don’t quite work out, which is what happened this weekend at Mugglecon.

A product of the partnership between Barnes and Noble and Transfiguring Adoption, Mugglecon’s purpose was to create a Harry Potter themed Halloween weekend at the Barnes and Noble store on Kingston Pike.

Transfiguring Adoption is a non-profit organization that supports foster children and families. The funds raised at Mugglecon are to be used for foster care kits and book donations.

The Transfiguring Adoption program began as a fun family project for the Finks – a foster and adoptive family. The Finks also enjoyed reading J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter

series and through the course of reading the series as a family, they found that several topics concerning the difficulties surrounding foster care and adoption could be discussed in a healthy way.

Since those initial beginnings, Transfiguring Adoption has branched out to examine other books, music and movies that will assist foster and adoptive families.

The Harry Potter theme was evident at the Barnes and Noble through costumed employees, Harry Potter books on display at every corner, different Harry Potter elements such as dementors, the Sorting Hat replicas and broomsticks lying around in the kids zone in the back of the store.

Outside, the Barnes and Noble employees and UT’s own Quidditch team set up a small replica of a Quidditch game for children and guardians to enjoy. Complete with three-

ringed goals, broomsticks, balls and a golden snitch, the kids were running around seeming to have the time of their lives.

A little girl named Priscilla Carson, who was dressed in full Hermione attire, walked around the store amazed by some of the decorations and different events planned for the children.

“I feel like I’m really in a Harry Potter movie because I can play Quidditch outside and put on the Sorting Hat inside,” Carson said.

Another child in attendance, Troy Samuel, was sunburned from playing the Quidditch for so long.

“I just love Harry Potter and I’ve always wanted to play Quidditch, and I’m so happy I got to today. Best start to Halloween weekend ever,” Samuel said.

While some families were there for the Harry Potter attraction, many people at the

store had no idea it was even going on. Many were there just to buy books like any other day. Although Harry Potter decorations were scattered throughout the store, the event seemed almost lost by the lack of publicity and people in attendence.

While some employees were dressed up, it was unapparent who was running the show.

Even though some regular customers appeared annoyed with some of the events, the families of those who were attending Mugglecon seemed to have a great time. The children who dressed up made the most of the weekend, and the guardians of those children were glad to see them having a great time.

The event wasn’t a clear success, but perhaps Barnes and Noble and Transfiguring Adoption will attempt to put together a more cohesive event next time.

Star receiver Andre Johnson retires Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Andre Johnson called Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey, asking if they could talk Monday morning.

After 14 NFL seasons, the man with more catches than anyone else currently playing had made up his mind.

Time to retire. “He said he’s been contemplating it for weeks and his heart was not in it,� Mularkey said Monday. “This is a tough business to be in when your heart’s not in it.�

The 35-year-old receiver was nowhere to be found, apparently not ready to publicly discuss his decision. He was not available on Monday and did not release a statement through his agent or the team.

None of that prevented Mularkey from trying to talk Johnson into staying. The Titans signed Johnson the day they reported for training camp to a two-year deal paying the veteran minimum this season with the chance at a bigger payday in 2017. Johnson started four of the eight games he played but hadn’t caught a pass in the last three. “I could tell he had talked about it and it was really useless for what I was saying,�

Mularkey said.

A seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, Johnson spent the first 12 seasons of his

career with the Houston Texans who made him the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 draft out of Miami. Tennessee had been his third team in as many seasons after Johnson spent 2015 with another AFC South team, the Indianapolis Colts.

Johnson finishes his career among the best receivers in NFL history. He ranks ninth all-time with 1,062 catches and 10th with 14,185 yards receiving and also had 70 touchdowns. Johnson led the NFL in catches in 2006 (103) and in 2008 (115).

He led the league in yards receiving in 2008 (1,575) and 2009 (1,569).

Johnson and former Colts receiver Marvin Harrison, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this year, are the only NFL players to have four seasons of 100-plus receptions and 1,400-plus yards receiving.

Denver’s Gary Kubiak, who coached the 6-foot-3 Johnson in Houston, said he texted back and forth with the receiver Monday.

Kubiak said Johnson was a fine a football player and person that he’s ever been around. “Played really big for me, had some really big years. Very unselfish guy,� Kubiak said. “He was with an organization that was a startup organization, and he always kept his mouth shut and worked. And I’m really proud of him. Great person, great career and I hate to see him step away but I’m proud of him. Good man. Good for the NFL.�

GRADING THE VOLS Rob Harvey, Asst. Sports Editor Josh Dobbs had probably his worst performance of his Tennessee career on Saturday. Dobbs threw for just 161 yards and had two really bad interceptions. Dobbs worst moment was the second interception.

Dobbs had Josh Smith open in the middle of the field but couldn’t make a good throw to him –– he was intercepted with just 3:42 left in the game. Dobbs did throw a nice touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings; however, it did not make up for his multiple blunders in the game.

Quarterbacks

C-

Alvin Kamara unable to play, the running load was put on Jalen Running Backs With Hurd and John Kelly. Hurd had just 16 yards on eight carries before being taken out of the game in the second half for what is thought to be an injury. Hurd also had a rushing touchdown. The bright spot was John Kelly, who finished with 94 yards and showed huge potential with what he called “angry� running. Freshman running back Carlin Filsaime also got in the game but had a rough moment when he ran into Dobbs’ arm, causing him to fumble.

C

Wide Receivers The Vol receivers didn’t have a lot of opportunities for success on

Saturday. Josh Malone had four catches for 42 yards but dropped multiple passes. Jauan Jennings continued his “dog� approach as he had another great game with just 54 receiving yards; however, he caught a touchdown pass on a very nice play and then made a great catch on the Vols last drive that gave them at least a chance.

C Offensive Line

D

With the line healthy for one of the first times this season, it seemed that Dobbs would have plenty of time in the pocket. However, that was not the case. The offensive line allowed two sacks in the game and gave the running backs zero space to run the ball. Overall, a very disappointing performance for this group.

defensive line was a very hot and cold group on Saturday. Derek Defensive Line The Barnett continued his dominance as he had three sacks in the game,

C+

while being held by the South Carolina offensive line basically the whole game. Corey Vereen added a sack and five tackles as well.

However, the line gave up 194 rushing yards to a team that has struggled to run the ball all season.

The Vols finish with a 2.07 GPA for the week.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Epic Repic helps Vols win doubles title Karolynn Beasley Contributor Placement and precise movement between Brittany Lindl and Eve Repic were key until the very last score of Sunday’s women’s tennis doubles’ championship on Oct. 30.

“You have to keep calm,” Repic said. “I was fired up on the inside.”

Lindl and Repic scooped up a doubles title for the Vols in last weekend’s Tennessee Fall Invite while Repic and Ariadna Riley picked up singles wins in the tournament.

The invite featured single matches against Wake Forest and doubles against Ohio State.

At the start of singles competition, the Vols did not appear promising. However, both Riley and Repic proved ready to steal wins.

“I think so much of coaching is figuring

out who is your player,” assistant coach Alison Ojeda said. “These guys have never been a part of a team your entire life. It is no longer just about yourself.”

Repic became the centerpiece of the Vols outstanding showing on Sunday by not only grasping the doubles’ title with Lindl, but also landing a win against Wake Forest’s Anna Ulyashchenko.

In the first set between Ulyashchenko and Repic, both ladies were tied with a 6-6 score, thus advancing to an intense pointby-point tie breaker.

The heart-pounding set ended in a 7-6 win by Ulyashchenko.

However, Repic intended to keep herself in the game, and shut out Ulyashchenko with grace and ease in the second set, defeating her 6-0.

But Ulyashchenko’s fight did not end there.

Ulyashchenko delved into the third match with the similar play by play that occurred within the first set, getting on the board in the beginning of the set and making the score 3-2.

Repic, once more pulling away, brought the score to 5-2. Again, Ulyashchenko pushed back and brought the match to a 5-3 score. The epic battle came to an end when Repic put away the win in the third set with a final score of 6-3.

While Riley and Repic prevailed in singles and Lindl and Repic succeeded in doubles, Tennessee struggled as a team to gain excessive wins for the Fall Invite.

Tennessee intends to use the knowledge gained from this weekend in the upcoming season starting in January.

“These guys are awesome,” Ojeda said.

“Let’s move forward and be the best that we can. Let’s figure out how to be as great as we can.”

HURD continued from Page 1 “He hits the hole really quick, and he’s also got power. He can run through people, and I like what he brings.”

Hurd is the third Vol to leave the team this season. Danny O’Brien was dismissed three weeks ago, and Preston Williams announced his request to transfer a few days later.

Other player problems: On Monday, Jones also announced that sophomore defensive tackle Shy Tuttle would miss the rest of the season.

“We’ve lost Shy Tuttle for the year,” Jones said. “I feel for that young man. He worked so hard to get himself back into playing condition.

He’s had a knee injury, so he’ll miss the rest of

the season and will be going through rehab during spring practice. So we’ll see how that goes.”

Tuttle broke his leg last season against Georgia, which caused him to miss the remainder of the season and the Appalachian State game this season.

On the year, Tuttle finishes with nine total tackles, one of those being a tackle for loss, and a fumble recovery.

Along with Hurd, speculation surrounded another lead player, junior defensive end Jonathan Kongbo, leaving the program.

On twitter Sunday afternoon, Kongbo posted a picture of a pair of cleats hanging up with the caption “All things must come to an end.”

This caused an uproar in the Volunteer fan base with the assumption that Kongbo was quitting football.

However, on Monday, Jones dismissed that

theory.

“Yes (on Kongbo being on the team). That’s why we don’t push the panic button. He lost in FIFA and those were soccer cleats,” Jones said.

Kongbo is one of the few healthy players left on the defensive line and should get extended playing time for the rest of the season.

But defensive coordinator Bob Shoop confirmed that Kongbo won’t be playing defensive tackle. He will remain at defensive end.

“I feel like a broken record when I talk about Kongbo each week,” Shoop said. “The thing that everybody has to keep in mind about Kongbo is that he is a tremendous talent. There’s not many players with his height, weight, size, speed and athletic ability.

“He’s just learning the game, and we’re playing the game of college football here at the highest level possible.”
