Science fields still hold gender obstacles for women Hayley Brundige Staff Writer

Hollie Hughes Contributor In a nation in which women constitute half of the work force and earn 60 percent of bachelor’s degrees overall, only a quarter of the professional science corps is composed of women, according to the New York Times.

A large role in that absence of women in the scientific field stems from gender stereotypes, Jeffrey Kovac, a chemistry professor and director of College Scholars, said.

“Growing up in the ‘50s and ‘60s there was this attitude among teachers and parents that girls just didn’t do stuff like that,” Kovac said. “Girls play with dolls, not erector sets, chemistry sets or radios. I think that’s starting to change now.”

A cappella group has groovy tunes for Knoxville Claire Dodson Arts & Culture Editor Although a cappella music has risen in popularity in recent years, Straight No Chaser has been singing together off and on since their college days in the late 90s.

The group will bring their uniquely-crafted cover songs to the Knoxville Civic Auditorium tonight at 7:30 p.m along with opener and The Voice season 4 contestant Caroline Glaser.

Don Nottingham, who rejoined in 2010 and was a member of the original group, talked with The Daily Beacon’s Arts & Culture Editor Claire Dodson about the intricacies of a cappella and the lifestyle changes that go along with switching from a 9-to-5 job to the life of a professional musician.

The following is an edited transcript of the interview.

How did you make

CD the decision to rejoin Straight No Chaser?

If you asked me when DN I was 18, or 15, or 22 or many points in my life, “Hey would you like to be a professional musician and sing with your buddies for a living?” — it’s a pretty easy question. It was one of those situations where you couldn’t say no to because you know you would always be kicking yourself wondering what would’ve happened.

earned it upon their own merit, can be a result of these constricting gender stereotypes.

Melissa Lee, a junior in College Scholars and a columnist for The Daily Beacon, has experienced these stereotypes firsthand.

“My mom is quite conservative and doesn’t really think research and academia is a good field for raising a family,” Lee said.

Lee is currently researching microRNA regulation of memory formation at the University of Zurich in Switzerland with the ultimate goal of obtaining a career in neuroscience.

The lack of prominent female scientists is another issue that could lead to fewer women pursuing scientific careers “It’s hard to imagine yourself doing something if you don’t know anybody like you who does it,” Kovac said. “If you’re a woman and you’ve never met a woman physicist, you don’t have anything to identify with.”

Brokaw delivers ‘Big Ideas’ R.J. Vogt

Cross country runner preps for senior year

Editor-in-Chief

Jonathan Toye In a Cox Auditorium packed to capacity, two American icons brought the audience to its feet – twice.

The standing ovations for renowned journalist Tom Brokaw and UT’s own former U.S. Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. came in quick succession at the beginning of the third installment of the Baker Distinguished Lecture Series, for which Brokaw lectured on Baker’s behalf.

Fighting soreness from a recent back surgery, Brokaw sat in a chair at center stage and looked directly at Baker, who sat in his wheelchair in the front row.

“Howard is emblematic of the kind of citizen that, for too long, we took for granted,” Brokaw said after the applause had faded. “He served this country in war, came back to his home state of Tennessee and then served his nation in so many ways.”

With Brokaw’s compliment to Baker becoming the foundation of his subsequent speech, the 22-year anchor of NBC Nightly News detailed

On Friday, fifth-year senior Daniel Tobin will be running the biggest race of his career.

From a walk-on freshmen struggling to keep up with the rest of the team to a fifthyear senior coming off the two best races of his career, Tobin has come a long way in cross country during his time at Tennessee.

But Tobin’s next race on Friday is exceedingly more important than the previous two races.

Besides being the second biggest race on the calendar this season and the race before the NCAA Championships, Tobin has a personal reason why this weekend’s NCAA Regional Championships in Tuscaloosa, Ala., are so important.

Performing well in this race will allow the Springfield, Va., native to qualify for the national meet for the first time ever in his career. The NCAA Championships will be held Nov. 23 in Terre Haute, Ind.,

and a strong performance this weekend will earn Tobin a berth.

While he knows that will be no simple task, Tobin feels confident about his chances of making the national meet.

“The most important thing is to make the national meet,” Tobin said. “But it’s not going to be easy, it’s got a few qualifying standards you have to hit. I have never run in one before for the four years I have been competing for Tennessee, and this is definitely the best chance I have to make it with my momentum and the program the coaches have me doing.”

Cross country coach J.J. Clark also expressed confidence in Tobin’s abilities and noted how much he has progressed while running for Tennessee.

“I watched Daniel come in as a freshmen,” Clark said.

“I watched him mature. I watched him learn to balance everything, and this year he is one of our key role players in cross country.”

UT Outdoor Program to host rock climbing expo Sage Speaks Contributor All for the thrill of the climb.

This weekend, the UT Outdoor Program, better known as UTOP, will host “Faux Reel Rocks,” a festival of activities centering on the world of rock climbing.

The festival will begin Friday at 7 p.m. with a film series, and will conclude Saturday with a climbing competition at the Vol Wall. In addition to climbers from the UT community, the competition will bring participants from Brevard College in North Carolina, UT-Chattanooga and local high schools.

UT’s Climbing Club President Corinne Kinzy, a sophomore in chemical engineering, is excited for the upcoming weekend.

“My goals for the whole weekend are to motivate people about climbing and educate them about all the different types of climbing there are,” Kinzy said.

“Of course, also, to benefit the Outdoors Program.”

The Reel Rock 8 film tour will be stopping in at the UC Auditorium Friday evening, and for $10, students and community members can view a series of adventure documentaries meant to inspire attendees to climb.

“The film is a documentary showing

climbers who are neither traditional nor very safe, yet incredibly entertaining,” Kinzy said.

Xan Pitzer, member of UTOP’s Events Committee and a junior in French and world business, encourages climbers at every degree of skill to participate.

“The competition is open to all levels, beginner through advanced,” Pitzer said, “and they are really encouraging new climbers to join this year.”

This fall event focuses on climbing outdoors and gaining new beginner climbers. A second competition, the Collegiate Climbing Series, is held in the spring.

Kinzy has been climbing for five years

and has been a part of the Climbing Club since arriving at UT. She said she hopes to share her love of the sport through UTOP’s event.

“The outdoors can be used to help you connect with others on a deeper level since you are outside in the wilderness and all barriers are broken,” Kinzy said.

“It’s really satisfying to watch someone at the beginning who couldn’t even get up the wall become someone who has the ability to place in a competition.”

‘Unsung hero’ of 9/11 response to visit campus Madison Rasnake Contributor Sept. 11, 2001, is a day forever burned into American minds.

On Friday, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card will discuss leadership and his crucial role during 9/11 as part of the Pursuit of Leadership Series, sponsored by the College of Communication and Information.

During the events of 9/11, President Bush was under protection and unable to act as the nation’s leader, leaving Card responsible for many decisions and actions.

“You could call him the unsung hero

of 9/11,” Joseph Winstead, sophomore in supply chain management, said.

Haverley Greene, sophomore in supply chain management, anticipates that Card will recall his experiences during 9/11 and provide advice for managing crisis situations.

Winstead said she believes Card’s recollections will afford valuable insight for future leaders.

“The theme could be ‘Crisis Creates Leaders,’” Winstead said. “It’s good to know how important it is to keep a cool head when there is chaos happening. Card is the epitome of being cool under fire.”

Widely considered a defining moment of the Bush administration,

Winstead expects Card’s lecture to challenge notions regarding government affairs during and after the Sept.

11 attacks.

“It’s going to really portray the Bush administration in a different way,” Winstead said, “in a much more positive way.”

Greene agreed, saying the exposure to this alternative viewpoint will prove invaluable.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Greene said. “I think the students are going to hear a side of 9/11 that they have never heard before.”

The lecture will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Alumni Memorial Building Cox Auditorium.

Charity 5K to raise funds for homelessness Kendall Basham Contributor Don’t give money; give hope.

This Saturday, Redeeming Hope Ministries will hold its third annual Running for Hope 5K, which benefits Knoxville’s homeless community through programs like Food in the Fort and The Amplifier.

The race will being at 9 a.m. in Circle Park. In the past, the event has lured more than 150 runners.

Proceeds from the race will be used

by RHM to provide hot meals, supply a food pantry and pay case worker salaries.

By addressing the fundamental needs of the socially displaced and economically impoverished, RHM has served Knoxville since 2009.

“The needs are so vast and so varied, that I believe the less fortunate need all the help we can give them,” Elizabeth Hagler, chief director of

Running for Hope 5K, said. “There’s not a lot of incentive for Knoxvillians to invest in the needy and homeless, so it’s easy to brush them aside into the back alleys of North Broadway.”

The organization has established a home in Fort Sanders, just minutes from campus.

Rachel Coleman, graduate student in recreation and sport management, said she has never volunteered for RHM, but is excited to become part of the cause.

“I have always wanted to volunteer for an organization that has such a hyper-local impact unlike American Red Cross or Habitat for Humanity,” Coleman said.

UT student volunteers have been supporting RHM for several years.

The Haslam Scholars program has been a staunch fighter against poverty and homelessness in Knoxville.

Lindsay Lee, senior in mathematics and a Haslam Scholar, has served

as a former Running for Hope 5K organizer.

“Doing service is a great way for students to engage with their communities and really understand Knoxville as a living, breathing, diverse city,” Lee said. “For Haslam Scholars in particular, doing service is the best way that we can pay back our university and our community for all the benefits we have received over the years.”

Volunteers can aid RHM in a number of capacities, including advisory roles, connectivity, materially, financially and hands-on work.

“There’s always a place to help, whether it’s serving and cooking food during ‘Food in the Fort,’ or helping plan the next fundraiser, or organizing a percentage night, or general administrative duties,” Hagler said. “There’s a lot to do and fun to be had by all.”

BROKAW continued from Page 1

Perhaps taking a line out of Chancellor Jimmy Cheek’s mouth, Brokaw divided history into what he called “Big Ideas.” He reflected on America’s first Big Idea – the mobilization of the nation’s industries in preparation for World War II – and then credited the genius of the 1944 Congress for America’s second Big Idea: the GI Bill.

“There may not be another piece of domestic legislation that so transformed America for everyone,” Brokaw said, referring to the generation of educated citizens who benefited from the readjustment effort. “And it came at a time when Congress was not sure that it could finance it.”

WOMEN IN SCIENCE continued from Page 1 Lee, admittedly lucky in this respect, has not felt the lack of female role models, and attributes much of her success to their guidance.

“Dr. Prosser has been a huge mentor to me,” Lee said. “I can’t really overstate how helpful it’s been to me to have such a great example of a successful woman in my field right in front of me. Especially when I’ve been discouraged because people like my mom don’t think this is what I should be doing; it’s been hugely inspiring to just be able to see what she’s done.”

Traditionally the stay-at-home caregivers of their children — women who pursue high-power careers face the challenge of balancing family with work.

“There was a mentality among male faculty in the ‘70s not that women were inferior,” Kovac said, “but that they weren’t necessarily in it for the long haul, and that they would get married, have children and drop out of their profession — that they weren’t going to be as serious.”

Professions involving scientific research are time-consuming, a fact that can make handling a family and long hours in the lab difficult.

“My wife and I are negotiating a two-career family, and it’s not easy,” Kovac said. “So if you’re a woman and you want to be a scientist or a professional in general, you’ve got to be married to the right guy if you want to have a family.”

While societal perception of female capabilities is slowly changing, certain specific policy changes can speed up the process.

“The situation for women will only change if we make it possible for women to succeed,” Kovac said.

“Some of that is having humane HR practices which involve appropriate maternity leave, the tenure clock and easily affordable and available daycare.

Brokaw went on to detail the Big Ideas of the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s.

He listed President John F. Kennedy’s quest for a lunar landing, Martin Luther King Jr.’s belief in non-violence and the power of law and President Richard Nixon’s decision to open relations with China.

All of these events helped create tolerance, Brokaw said, a value that has transformed the role of women in society. He shared a personal anecdote about his wife’s successful efforts to create a completely local tomatocanning business in Africa.

“If there’s hope for that continent – and there is – it will come from that gender,” he said. “Women run Africa, from village to village and family to family. That’s the kind of Big Idea we need to be thinking about, even in the most advanced nation in the world.”

He concluded the narrative

“There needs to be a culture change in the way we hire and the environment that we create.”

Under the Family and Medical Leave Act, employment practices in Tennessee currently allow for 12 weeks of unpaid leave with continued health benefits. As of 2010, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation that does not provide paid leave for mothers, according to the Huffington Post.

Support at the collegiate level can be coupled with assistance for employed female scientists to increase the presence of women in science.

Initiatives at UT, such as Lean In, are aimed at creating support groups for prospective female scientists.

Lean In, a national program that uses small peer groups to promote female membership in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science, was established this year by Denise Koessler.

Koessler, a computer science Ph.D. candidate, said equal employment opportunities for males and females are essential in today’s society.

“I am not advocating for 50 percent of the jobs in science to go to women because we are women,” Koessler said. “I am advocating for the awareness that there exist societal barriers, which make technical jobs easier to obtain for men. The solution here is that everyone who wants to pursue a scientific or technical career can sit at the table to get that career. The problem is that industrial barriers and academic barriers prevent women from even being eligible or heard and therefore never sit at the table in the first place.”

Sherry Ma, junior in electrical engineering, said she agrees that equality and changing the stigma on female roles are crucial.

“If a woman has interests in science and she is willing to spend time to investigate it, she will absolutely do as well as a gifted man,” Ma said.

“As long as you have interests and dreams, you can follow your heart and do a good job in any field of study.”

of “Big Ideas” with his own “Brokaw Idea.” In a call for more public servants from the millennial generation, Brokaw said it was unacceptable for 1 percent of Americans to fight wars and return home in body bags so the other 99 percent can do nothing.

“The fact is, we need to do better than that,” he said.

“We need to reignite the idea of public service, the John F. Kennedy concept of ‘Ask not what your government can do for you, but what you can do for your government.’”

He proposed public service academies – formed from university partnerships and sponsored by private companies – to improve the elite skill sets of American youth.

These academies, Brokaw said, would offer tax breaks to private sponsors that pay for advanced training; the sponsored students would then serve America in some capacity for a set period of

time.

“We need something … to knit us together again,” Brokaw said. “If we raise the call for public service … it could be one of the defining developments of our time.”

Faculty, staff and community members outnumbered the students in attendance, but those who heard the call for service responded positively.

Beacon columnist and Baker Ambassador Katie Dean works on many of the events hosted by the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy. As she did her part of public service by helping clean up after the lecture, Dean agreed that Brokaw’s challenge held importance for UT students.

“He just saw so many things happen throughout his career and he’s seen where we were then and where we are now,” Dean, junior in political science, said. “It’s just an important perspective to hear from someone who’s seen how far we’ve come.”

At the conclusion of his speech, Brokaw joined Baker Center Director Matt Murray and the more than 900 audience members to sing “Happy Birthday” to Baker, who turns 88 on Friday.

Locally-owned coffee shop opens doors to all

Hannah Cather • The Daily Beacon

Allie Sampson prepares a latte at Remedy Coffee on Wednesday.

Savannah Lucas Contributor As the chilling winds of winter begin to pillage Knoxville, the search is on for a refuge from the bitter cold.

Fortunately for Knoxville residents, in the heart of the Old City there lies a charming coffee shop with just the Remedy.

Remedy, a downtown coffee shop, offers the people of Knoxville rich Intelligentsia coffee, locally handmade pastries, free Wi-Fi and an 1,800 square foot area known as “The Backroom” that can be rented out for events and gatherings.

Sean Alsobrooks, local pastor of Knoxlife Church, opened Remedy in 2009 with a unique vision.

“We were looking for a place in the city that we could move our new church into,” Alsobrooks said. “But our heart was to have something that was for our city, not just a church building that was only used on Sundays.”

After months of searching, Alsobrooks discovered an old office building off of Jackson Avenue and realized its potential.

“We started looking around the Old City and found the space,” Alsobrooks said. “It had this awesome backroom where we could meet on Sunday mornings, and then the front could be an incredible coffee shop that we could use the rest of the week.”

Knoxlife Church met in Remedy’s back room for eight months before Alsobrooks was able to gather the means to open the front as a fullyfunctioning coffee shop. Little by little, the church raised the funds to open Remedy through donations and fundraisers.

Though the concept of the

coffee shop was created and carried out by a church, Alsobrooks emphasizes Remedy’s atmosphere is one that welcomes everyone in the community.

“We want people to experience a sense of neighborhood,” Alsobrooks said. “From the beginning, we’ve always said that Remedy is not a church coffee shop. The church owns it, the church runs it, but we don’t want it to be a church coffee shop where just ‘church people’ come. We want it to be a neighborhood coffee shop.”

Alsobrooks said Remedy has been well received by the people of Knoxville.

“There are a lot of locals who feel like it’s their place.”

Alsobrooks said. “We have a great vibe. It’s not work, it’s not home; it’s a place where you can get to know people. We’d like to invite people to step into that.”

Todd Young, a barista at Remedy for the past year, said building genuine relationships with people is always of great importance to him.

“The people are my favorite part about working here,” Young said. “It’s interesting to see the diverse range of people who come in. Between the businessmen who come by in the early mornings, to the Bible studies and community groups that meet in the back, I get to see a lot of different aspects of people’s lives in the community and how they interconnect.

“We’re very much about getting to know people in the community. It’s a huge part of what we do. The coffee is good too, but mostly it’s the people.”

Peter Jantsch, a third year graduate student in mathematics, said he frequents Remedy because the relaxed environment increases his productivity.

“I like the atmosphere. It’s quiet,” Jantsch said. “You get a

lot of work done. It’s better than Starbucks.”

Eddie Tu, a third year graduate student in mathematics, said he enjoys the ambiance as well.

“I always get a lot done when I come here,” Tu said. “I love the high ceilings, the coffee’s good, and I think the atmosphere really fosters community.”

Although its emphasis on facilitating the spirit of community is a refreshing and unique quality, some may be interested to know Remedy is unlike many other businesses in Knoxville.

“We’re a nonprofit, so after we pay all of our bills, taxes and employees, we try to give back to the city,” Alsobrooks said.

“It’s a neat thing, because when you’re buying coffee at Remedy, it’s not going to a corporation, and it’s not just for profit; it’s going to help someone in your own city.”

Remedy’s commitment to serve Knoxville has impacted local divisions of several organizations, such as the YWCA and Habitat for Humanity, as well as Beardsley Community Farm, located off Western Avenue.

Though it could be hard to believe a business can maintain such interlocked connection and pure devotion to its community, Remedy is a testament that it can be done and done well.

“Our tagline is ‘Coffee and Conversation,’” Alsobrooks said. “We want it to just be a place where you come, see people that you know, meet up with friends, make new friends and of course, have great coffee.

“Beyond having a coffee culture, we wanted a community culture. I hope that when people walk in, they feel like it’s a place they can be, and that they’re welcome.”

Screening of ‘Crossing Borders’ hopes to erase cultural barriers Rebecca Butcher Contributor Race, worldviews and misconceptions are being addressed tonight in the International House through the feature documentary, “Crossing Borders.”

“I think ‘Crossing Borders’ can act as a springboard to get people talking,” said Amanda McRoy, on-campus recruiter for the Peace Corps. “It allows you to see things from multiple perspectives, which is not something we see or have the ability to look into for ourselves.”

The film tracks eight students — four Americans and four Moroccans. The two groups hold negative views of one another based on the prejudices and assumptions they have surrounding each other’s cultures.

The students live together in Morocco and are forced to confront many of the misjudgments they have previously formed of the opposing culture.

“This film portrays multiple perspectives on what motivates people and explains their actions and emotions,” McRoy said.

“It was nice to see the students processing what was said rather than being closed off.

“A comfortable and safe environment is cultivated in the film and these people actually take the time to ask hard questions and listen to one another.”

The international film focuses

on the mistrust of Muslims which some Americans may hold.

“During my Peace Corps service there was a Muslim neighborhood in my village and I ended doing a few projects in conjunction with a women’s group from that neighborhood,” McRoy said. “We had a lot of very interesting conversations about their beliefs and their feelings on the prejudices that others have against them.”

McRoy is confident that opportunities such as the screening open a wider conversation on campus about prejudices and acts a great start to learning more.

Mark Bryant, director of the International House, agreed with McRoy. “Two years ago I was at a national conference where they were screening ‘Crossing Borders,’” he said. “What will be appealing is the fact that young people will be wrestling with prejudices.

“There is power in hearing story and in a different way than facts, not better or worse, but this is a narrative and a chronicle of student experience.”

Bryant previously taught abroad in Kosovo for a year.

According to him, there are plenty of similarities between the predominantly Muslim country.

One of the main things Bryant noticed is hospitality, which is a big part of the culture.

When asked what preconcep-

SNC

tions Muslims might hold of America, Bryant referenced pop culture as a large part of how foreigners measure Americans.

“Sometimes you may not agree,” Bryant said, “but you get a better idea of why something is, and you are so quick to make a judgment.”

Bryant said connecting students to international cultures was one of the highlights of his job description.

“There are many amazing aspects to higher education,” Bryant said, “but helping students to see and experience the world and other cultures, for me I can’t imagine a more enjoyable job to spend my time doing.”

Timothy Green, a junior in commuication studies, admitted his jealousy towards those portrayed in the film.

“I’m envious of the four American students, it seems like it would be a gratifying experience and to have someone who hold the other point of view with you at all times,” Green said. “If there are stereotypes and stigmas about Americans that Moroccans have it would be really interesting to begin to understand what those really are.

“You can use what you learn to apply to your life and giving foreigners an authentic perception of what an Americans’ is.”

The screening is free and will be held in the International House Community room at 6:30 p.m. and is open to all students.

Socio-political divide grows in the space from city to suburb Uncommon Sense by

Evan Ford “T-minus three years of Atlanta’s Atlanta Braves.”

This sad countdown comes from Grantland’s Rembert Browne in response to the news that the Braves will be moving out of Atlanta and into the wealthier suburbs.

But Browne’s article, like all great pieces of journalism, expands beyond its genre – in this case “sports journalism” – and becomes a commentary on the problem of the suburban city.

Namely, the problem that the suburbs are one of the things destroying the fabric of our democracy. But I’ll get to that. Let’s look at Knoxville.

Knoxville is in an uncomfortable balance with its suburbs. In 2010, the city of Knoxville elected pro-environment, Democratic Madeline Rogero to be mayor. The very same year, Knox County elected staunchly conservative Stacey Campfield (author of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) to the State House.

According to the Metro Planning Council, 68 percent of all Knoxville residents work in the city. But more than half of these workers live outside the city – places like Bearden, Farragut and Fountain City. Of all the people who live in the suburbs, only a quarter stay there to work.

This exposes the most obvious problems with the suburbs — commuting. A staggering 93 percent workers in Knoxville drive to work, and 80 percent drive alone – 150,000 cars driving an average of almost 40 minutes a day. Just by driving to work, Knoxville workers consume around 50 million gallons of gas a year.

On top of this, commuters are not actually paying taxes to the city, although they still use the infrastructure and services. This led to the fall of Detroit, Las Vegas and other now-defunct suburban cities.

But if we really want people to drive less, or pay for their use of city jobs and infrastructure, the answer is not to hate the suburbs. People don’t move to the suburbs because they hate the environment, or like commuting or want to screw over the city by avoiding taxes (I hope).

People move to the suburbs to be somewhere safe and clean and comfortable. It’s commonly believed that it’s better to raise kids outside of the city, as the urban environment is seen as dirty and dangerous (although TIME reports that this is not consistently true).

When “The Atlantic” interviewed Dan Walters, a California political analyst, he described what happens when people move to the suburbs.

“The first thing the homeowner would do was put up a six-foot fence. The next step after that was to put a fence around the entire development and put a guard at the gate.”

In the suburbs, people create their own little world.

So remember the part where I said that the suburban movement is destroying the fabric of our democracy? This is why.

Segregation today is worse than it ever has been. Don’t believe me? Find the graph of Chicago neighborhoods on RadicalCartography.com that will have your head spinning with just how distinct white and minority communities are.

Even more divided than our neighborhoods, though, are our political and social ideologies. I could cite countless articles from both the left and the right bemoaning the extremism in American politics, from the Tea Party “zealots” to liberal “fascists.” Kids are bullied for being “different,” whether in their sexuality or upbringing or even where they live. It leaves most sane people in the middle, wondering who’s there to represent them.

This political segregation is directly tied to geographical segregation. UVA researcher Matt Motyl, Ph.D., calls this phenomenon “ideological migration – individuals chose to live in communities with ideologies similar to their own to satisfy their need to belong.”

We all feel this. I’m a bleeding-heart liberal in a conservative town, and sometimes I just want to get away, move north and have conversations that don’t turn into arguments.

But that is so dangerous. If I never talk to anyone who challenges me or outright disagrees with me, I will descend into radicalism. I won’t be able to hear other people’s ideas, or understand where they’re coming from. I won’t be able to participate in a democracy.

I think many of us feel that we no longer live in a democracy, but a country with two factions fighting for control.

These factions exist in our families and our friendships, and they start in our neighborhoods.

Pop the college bubble and explore Knoxville Knight Errant by

Victoria Knight Like any good hometown is bound to do, Knoxville has made me claustrophobic.

Maybe it’s the impending date of graduation looming ever closer and the realization that my time in this city may soon come to an end – or even a sentimentality that has overcome me with memories of all the good things Knoxville has given to me.

But this year, I have grown to love it and appreciate it more than ever.

After five and a half years in this town, I finally feel like I understand Knoxville.

Going to UT, we tend to get swept up in the bubble that is college. We are perfectly tapped in to the daily occurrences of campus: who got featured on Vol Blackout this weekend, what the latest SGA meeting with dining involved, who won homecoming events this year.

But oftentimes it seems there is a disconnect between campus and the Knoxville community at large. Though we are nestled right in the heart of Knoxville, between the ever-pulsing traffic of Kingston Pike, the unknown territory of Chapman Highway and the bright and bustling downtown and Old City scenes, students still don’t seem to know a lot about Knoxville.

history.

Although many students live in the Fort, not everyone knows that we are actually living on the site of the Battle of Fort Sanders, which lasted for only 20 minutes.

It was one of the most lopsided wins of the Civil War, with the federal government completely overrunning the Confederate attack and ensuring Knoxville as Union territory.

Somewhat unknown is also the fact that the Sunsphere was actually built for the 1982 World’s Fair hosted in Knoxville. In the year’s span that the World’s Fair ran, more than 11 million people visited Knoxville.

Ronald Reagan even opened the Fair’s festivities.

We live in an awesome city. Though some of us may only be here for four years of our lives and then move on, we need to become educated and informed about our community.

Numbering about 27,000 both undergraduate and graduate students, we are a significant percentage of the Knoxville population.

There is no reason we should be uninformed.

Only through understanding more about our community can we realize the benefits and opportunities that come with living here, as well as hopefully becoming more involved and engaged citizens along the way.

Go out there and see what Knoxville has to offer – you might be surprised at what you find.

State textbook censorship threatens ‘true’ education Dean’s List by

Katie Dean Well, Stacey Campfield has done it again; the man who proposed the infamous “Don’t Say Gay bill” has once again voiced his opinion in an open-minded fashion.

Right, who are we kidding? I realize Tennessee is a red state, I have no dispute with that fact. But some of the actions taken by our state legislature are really troubling to me.

Their latest undertaking has to do with textbooks for Tennessee students and, more specifically, what is written in them.

Apparently conservative constituents have recently become concerned with some of the “troubling” material being taught to students in Tennessee, including a psychology textbook that included a passage about “rape fantasy.”

In a day and age where one can turn on the TV and easily watch yet another graphic episode of Criminal Minds or CSI, I guess I can see why reading a passage about rape in a textbook could be so dangerously disturbing.

The state legislature is not only concerned with the content of the textbooks Tennessee

has been using, but more importantly with the review process used to select those books.

Last week, state officials met with the Textbook Commission in Nashville to discuss how this review process might be changed, and how the legislature can have a heavier hand in regulating what students will be reading. Since the state legislature already does such a great job of funding public education in Tennessee, I can’t wait to see what kind of ideas they generate.

I’m particularly excited by the prospect of Campfield – who doesn’t think we should say the word “gay” – reviewing what goes in textbooks.

One item that Campfield raised concern with was a dispute that occurred in Knoxville, when a parent objected to a biology textbook that “more or less suggested that creationism is a myth.”

How dare those biologists teach kids about the scientific history of the planet Earth.

State Rep. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, shares Campfields concerns. Last week he was quoted in Tennessee newspapers saying people have raised concerns over “accuracy and bias,” and that he “wants to make sure the textbooks we’re using reflect the culture of Tennesseans…It’s whose culture and morals are represented.”

My question to these representatives is this: whose morals do you want to reflect, and what exactly do you mean by Tennessee culture?

As far as I can tell, there are a lot of aspects of Tennessee culture that Bell and I have different perceptions on. I take issue with the fact that these men believe textbooks need to reflect “morals.”

Textbooks need to reflect facts and actual history, not what the conservative population of Tennessee deems appropriate.

I would be very interested to see what ramifications this would have for topics like the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, the LGBTQ movement, etc. I have a hunch history texts might be significantly shorter.

I’m not saying the current review process for books is perfect; there is always room for improvement when it comes to education and we should always strive for improvement. But giving parents and the state legislature a huge portion of that review power is not the answer.

The duty of the public school system is to educate kids the best they can and prepare them for higher-level learning.

If narrow-minded people start censoring what kids in Tennessee read in textbooks, those children are not going to develop properly open minds that think globally.

Instead, they will be insulated from a true education simply because certain legislators feel uncomfortable confronting ideas different from their own.

EDITORIAL

Compared to a lot of other schools, we are actually located quite centrally in relation to the city we’re settled in, but said city seems unnoticed. Though some would say UT is the heart and soul of the Knoxville community, there are plenty of other things that make up the body which are important too.

For instance, did you know last month Knoxville recently became the second city in Tennessee to expand its partner benefits to include same-sex partners as well as oppositesex domestic partners? This makes the city of Knoxville one of the first among Southern states to push for same sex equality.

Or how about that one of the biggest social issues Knoxville is facing right now is addressing homelessness?

Knoxville currently has a 10 year plan to end homelessness, and there have been many previous attempts in the past to help end homelessness completely. The mayor’s office and many other organizations are working hard on achieving this initiative.

Knoxville is also working to become one of the next great outdoor cities with an urban wilderness. There are 1,000 forested acres along Knoxville’s riverfront, including 10 parks, more than 40 miles of trails, four Civil War sites and numerous stunning views.

The Legacy Parks Foundation is attempting to amass even more space so Knoxville residents can benefit from having places to play outdoors within minutes of our front yards.

We as students also don’t always seem to realize Knoxville actually has a very rich

Xavier spoils UT season opener Staff Report The Tennessee Volunteers couldn’t overcome trouble at the free throw line and fell to the Xavier Musketeers, 67-63, inside the Cintas Center in Cincinnati, Ohio Tuesday.

Even though the Vols never led at any point in the game, several missed free throws by Xavier in the final minute kept hope alive.

Two late 3-pointers by senior forward Jordan McRae weren’t enough to save the Vols, however, as UT shot an underwhelming 7-for-19 (37 percent) from the charity stripe.

Stokes finished the game with four points and four rebounds in 19 minutes as the Memphis native fouled out with 2:40 remaining in regulation.

In his return to action after missing the entire 2012-13 season Jeronne Maymon had seven points and 10 rebounds.

The loss snapped a streak of 14 consecutive season-opening victories for UT. The Vols return home to open their home slate against USCUpstate on Saturday at 7 p.m.

That game airs on SportSouth and can be heard on the Vol Network.

The Vols started the game slow, shooting 1-of-17 from the floor and going more than six minutes without a point and more than seven minutes without a field goal in the first half.

Tennessee trailed Xavier, 27-20, at halftime as the Vols shot just 26.7 percent in the first half, making 8-of-30 from the floor, but played tough enough defense only trail by seven going into the break.

A big factor the Vols slow start was the early foul trouble of Jarnell Stokes, which forced the junior forward to the bench after playing just five minutes in the first half.

Lady Vols aim for redemption in home opener against UTC Patrick MacCoon Staff Writer When the No. 4 Lady Vols take their home court for the first time this season against UT Chattanooga tonight, they will not only be looking to extend their win streak to three, but for redemption as well.

Some of the emotional scars of an 80-71 loss on the road to the Lady Mocs in last season’s opener still remain. “When you lose your first game, you want that back,� second-year UT head coach Holly Warlick said. “Obviously we want to win this game, but to do so we need to come out and give the same effort that we have in our first two games. If we do that, things will take care of themselves.�

So far in the 2013-14 season, Tennessee has avoided any early season let-downs, as it came out victorious in two road tests against Middle Tennessee and No. 12 North Carolina.

With a more experienced roster, the team believes they are much further ahead than they were at this point last year. “I think the difference is we have more experience and are more poised and confident this year,� Warlick said. “We have

a really strong team bond that hasn’t been there in the past.

You can feel it from the team and it has a lot to say with our success right now.�

In their first two games, the Lady Vols’ defense has frustrated its opponents, holding them to 27.9 percent on field goal attempts (38-of-128) and forcing 42 turnovers. “We have a greater sense of urgency this season and are playing with a lot more energy,� guard Andraya Carter said. “We take pride in our defense, and rebounding and (that) has been something we’ve been working on since day one. We understand those areas of the game are two of the most important and we have to be great in both to get where we want to be.�

While there will be more comfort playing against Chattanooga in the friendly confines of Thompson-Boling Arena, the Lady Vols realize that the game will be no easy challenge against their in-state opponent.

In fact, first-year head coach Jim Foster’s team has already notched a victory over an SEC opponent this season.

Led by senior forward Taylor Hall’s 24 points and four assists, the Lady Mocs (1-0) notched an 82-70 victory over Alabama

on Nov. 8 at home.

Hall also scored the same amount in their upset victory over a Tennessee team in its first game of the post-Pat Summitt era. “Chattanooga is going to run some different looks this year from last, but they are still the same team,� Warlick said. “They are very well coached and are a very versatile team.

They can shoot the ball from outside and are strong inside.

We know they are going to be a difficult team.�

Junior point guard Ariel Massengale, who posted a career high 20 points in Tennessee’s 81-65 victory over the Tar Heels on Monday night, said the team is well past its loss last season to Chattanooga. “It’s always something that is in the back of our minds, but we are definitely not dwelling on that,� Massengale said. “That was last year and we are a new team and this is a new season.�

The Lady Vols (2-0) are excited to be back home in front of their home crowd when they tip-off at 7 p.m. “I don’t have any doubt that we have the best fans in the nation,� Carter said. “We are really excited to play in front of them and are determined to beat (the Lady Mocs).�

Point guard trio dishes out confidence to Lady Vols Peter Murray Contributor

It’s a well-documented fact of basketball: the point guard is the floor general, playing the part of the head coach on-court while still performing their duty of being the playmaker.

For the Lady Vols, they are fortunate to have stability at the position for the past two seasons with Ariel Massengale at the helm.

Since her first day on campus, the starting job has belonged to the Bolingbrook, Ill., native. But this season, the junior has a little help behind her — as well as some competition. “She’s had to step up her game,� head coach Holly Warlick said. “Her freshman year she was named starting point guard and she hadn’t set foot on campus. So she’s got some competition that I think is helping.�

The new faces on the roster for the Lady Vols that have provided the push are redshirt freshman Andraya Carter and true freshman Jordan Reynolds.

Carter started the first five contests last season at point guard, but a labral tear in her right shoulder cut her first season short for UT, opening up the door for Massengale to reclaim the job. “I see things from a different perspective now,� said Carter, in regards to her time spent on the bench recovering last season. “It’s kind of a coach’s perspec-

tive. I could hear the coaches on one side and then watch exactly what they were talking about, and I got to see it first hand on the court and I think it will translate into how I play.�

As for the competition between her and Massengale, Carter sees it as a friendly rivalry and a needed element in the offense. “She pushes me,� Carter said. “I think she wants my help taking the pressure off her and I’m completely willing to do that. I learn a lot from her, but we push

each other at the same time, so it’s a good balance between being really good friends, her being someone I look up to, and her being someone I compete with.�

As for the Portland, Ore., true freshman, Reynolds – the No. 42 ranked player in the 2013 class – has also seen playing time at the position, currently averaging 2.5 points per game in the Lady Vols’ first two contests this season.

Dobbs takes strides in QB role heading into bye Taylor White Contributor Josh Dobbs is now entering his third week as Tennessee’s starting quarterback, and the true freshman continues to impress his coaches and teammates with his improvements both on and off the field.

The highly-touted Dobbs played for the first time when starter Justin Worley suffered a thumb injury during a 45-10 loss at Alabama on Oct. 26 and has started the last two games under center for the Vols.

“It just goes back to playing the amount of freshmen that we have,” head coach Butch Jones said. “He’s had to grow up in a hurry.”

Dobbs is 47-of-79 passing for 443 yards through his three appearances, and Jones likes what he has seen from the young quarterback.

“Just the overall management (has improved),” Jones said “Also the pulls on the zone read (improved), he still missed a couple, but we will continue to evolve in that.”

The Alpharetta, Ga., native is focusing on trying to improve each week and treating each game as a learning experience.

“I learn a lot every time I step on the field,” Dobbs said. “There is a lot to take away from each game, and we just continue to grow and improve as a team. It was just another great experience against another great team.”

A crucial component of any passing game is the relationship between quarterback and receiver, something the offense has been working hard on with the new signal caller.

“We just go out here at practice and improve our connection,” sophomore receiver Johnathon Johnson said. “It’s

POINT GUARD continued from Page 5 Now a junior, Massengale is fine with the new competition as the season rolls on.

“I always welcome it,” Massengale said. “I think it’s why you come to Tennessee. You know that each day

going to take time but I see progress. I definitely think we have had a lot of progress since Missouri.”

In his starts against Missouri and Auburn, Dobbs found either Marquez North or Alton “Pig” Howard on 27 of his 42 completions.

“I’m just constantly making sure I’m going through my progressions, and protecting the football,” Dobbs said. “Just being smart, managing the game and getting the ball into my playmakers hands.”

One thing Dobbs has brought to the team is his ability to make plays with his legs, running for 147 yards in his three appearances this season, with 68 of those coming in last week’s loss to seventhranked Auburn.

“We called a few more designed runs,” Dobbs said. “I just felt like that is how the flow of the game was going, and we were just able to execute them. (The coaches) just want me to be smart, and if I have to tuck it and run, then just protect the ball.”

Not only has Dobbs improved on the field, but his off the field management has grown as well, and it is something his coach has taken note of.

“We want our quarterbacks to be football junkies, we want them to be gym rats,” Jones said. “We want them coming around and really studying the game, and he has done a great job of that.”

Tennessee must win its next two games to qualify for a bowl game, but to Dobbs these aren’t any different than any other game this season.

“I wouldn’t say there is any added pressure, every game is a must win,” Dobbs said. “That’s our goal, we go out and every time we step on the field we’re trying to win.

“We’re just going to use this bye week to get better, and get ready for our next two opponents.” they are recruiting somebody to play that position with you so it helps because we’re a team. So at practice we compete, but at ... game time we’re all on the team together.”

To begin the season, Massengale has continued to see ample playing time, leading the team in playing time by averaging 38 minutes through the first two games. She has also continued to play at a high level, highlighted

Meanwhile, Carter has also played a large role for the Lady Vols, averaging a considerable 22.5 minutes and 10 points per game, as well as taking on the role of spark plug for the team’s second half comeback against Middle Tennessee in the season opener.

Senior guard Meighan Simmons shares the backcourt with each of

the three, and said she believes the competition is beneficial for the team.

“I think it will give Ariel enough time to recover,” Simmons said. “It will give Andraya that opportunity to follow in her footsteps, as far as leading us out on the floor, and it’s also going to be a little different.

“The intensity is always there with both of them.”

CROSS COUNTRY continued from Page 1 Clark said he had a discussion with Tobin about his chances of qualifying and said he believes Tobin can qualify for the national race.

“I expressed my confidence that he can meet this challenge,” Clark said. “He has to run the best race he has ever had, and I believe he can.”

In preparation, Tobin said he has cut back on running and focused on doing the other things away from the track that make a runner successful.

“The week before, everyone stresses,” Tobin said. “Eating right and sleeping right are the two most important things for your body.

“This week has been making sure you have been hydrated everyday, eating the right meal every meal, and getting to bed on time, getting a lot of recovery.”

Tobin also has several pre-race rituals included in his preparation for a race, although he admitted they do not affect his race.

These rituals include: tucking his laces in a certain way before every race, making sure they are tucked in the right way, drinking tea the night before the race, bringing tea packets with him to the hotel, and if there is no boiling water, he will walk to a bar to get hot water. He also wears a necklace for every race.

Tobin said he still gets butterflies in his stomach due to anxiousness. But it’s common among crosscountry athletes and he is enough of a veteran to avoid most of the nerves.

“In racing, the biggest thing everyone knows is the nerves before it,” Tobin said. “The one thing you learn after doing this for so long is that the nerves go away as soon as the gun goes off. After four years of high school running and five years of college running, its gotten to the point where I don’t really get the nerves anymore, which is nice.

“But you still do get the anxiousness, so you do have a little bit of the butterflies in your stomach before the race, and sometimes the night before when you are thinking about it and visualizing.”
