Knoxvillian Women, allies Revelers, rally-goers to clog prepare to march on inauguration DC for Trump’s inauguration
Annie Tieu
Staff Writer A local group is preparing to make UT’s campus a part of the Women’s March on Washington. The march in Washington, D.C., is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of demonstrators. On Jan. 20 at 12:30 p.m. UT campus will be the location of a Sister March, a part of the Women’s March on Washington taking place Jan. 21. The march will be one of 386 around the world, including one on Jan. 21 in Market Square. The goals of the 386 Sister Marches is to showcase unity with the march taking place in Washington, D.C. “It’s based on positivity and inclusivity,” Kendy Altizer, graduate student in anthropology and an organizer of the march, said. “We’re basically trying to have a big enough voice to where people hear us for women’s rights, for marginalized communities’ rights and for human rights in general.” While most of the other Sister Marches
are marching on Jan. 21, the UT Sister March is taking place on Jan. 20 to encourage more students, faculty and staff to participate. Local community members are also encouraged to join. Marchers will begin at the Humanities Amphitheater and conclude at the Torchbearer. Altizer said the march is nonpartisan and not a protest. “We’re discouraging anti-Trump signs. That’s not what this is about, and everybody can join us. It’s going to be a positive thing,” Altizer said. Altizer became involved in the movement when she attended the first meeting of the Knoxville Chapter of the Women’s March on Washington. “It’s an acknowledgement that it’s 2017,” Connie Randall, a graduate student in anthropology who is involved with the march, said. “We can’t go backwards; we’ve barely gone forward … We need to get over our differences for the time being and come together. It has nothing to do with where you are on the political spectrum. It’s an acknowledgement that women are half the population.”
Assocciated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to clog the nation’s capital for Donald Trump’s inauguration and a major demonstration the day after. How many will actually arrive to party or protest is an open question. Officials estimate that 800,000 to 900,000 people will be present Friday for the inauguration, a celebration that takes over the city, closing roads, taxing the city’s Metro transit system and making getting around difficult. Trump himself has promised “massive crowds,” but just what that will mean is unclear. Hundreds of thousands of others are expected Saturday for the Women’s March on Washington. Trump showed he could draw crowds during the campaign, but his supporters weren’t so quick to make plans to be in Washington for his inauguration. Elliott Ferguson, the president of Destination DC, the city’s convention and tourism bureau, said that before Election
Day hotels had more events tentatively planned for a Hillary Clinton victory than a Donald Trump one. And when Trump won, the “level of enthusiasm” and demand for hotel rooms did not immediately reach that of past recent inaugurations, he said. “No one’s phones were ringing” on the day after the election, he said. Things started to pick up after New Year’s, but some hotels have cut back minimum-night stays from four nights to two. Some hotels are only 50 percent full, though higher-end hotels apparently have more bookings, he said. “It’s been much, much slower than anyone would have anticipated for a first-term president,” he said. Saturday’s march has helped drive more reservations, he said. “The moment it was confirmed it was happening in the city our hotels were seeing reservations take place,” he said. City planners are betting that Trump’s inauguration is more like President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013, which drew more than 800,000, rather than Obama’s first in 2009, which drew 1.8 million people.

INAUGURAT
The Daily Beacon • Friday, January 20, 2017
TRUMP’S
A preview of the next pr Alex Holcomb
Asst. News Editor The next president has trumped Democrats, minority Republicans, political scientists and even the media. The candidacy of President-elect Donald Trump was quite different than those of the past, and the presidency will likely follow suit. Nearly every section of American politics was or will be affected by the new president, and many of those changes can be seen already.
REINCE PRIEBUS White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus (White House Chief of Staff ): Once the chairman of the Republican National Committee, he is close with House speaker Paul D. Ryan. Despite that, he has never held a major government post. He would be responsible for generally advising Trump – the Chief of Staff is often considered a “right hand man” position which the
REPUBLICANS Trump’s campaign was one that influenced many staples of the American political system. Since he ran as a Republican, the party could not help but receive the effects of his wild-card campaign. “I think, one thing he has done is bring in more of the working class union type voters from the Midwest that the Republican party had kind of lost way with, but he has also alienated some different parts of our party that we were working to bring in,” Greg Butcher, president of the College Republicans, said. “Ultimately, I think our ideals and core principles are still the same, and I don’t think that every Republican even believes everything Donald Trump believes.” Majority Republicans are likely content with the focuses of Trump’s presidency. Based on the topics he speaks most about, Butcher thinks Trump will focus on three main areas: repealing the Affordable Care Act, reforming the tax code and creating more blue-collar jobs.
DEMOCRATS STEPHEN K. BANNON Chief Stategist Similar to the Chief of Staff, the Chief Strategist does not need to be appointed by Senate and acts as a general advisor to the president. Bannon is a founding member of Breitbart News, a far-right media organization that is constantly the target of controversy over “fake news,” and has a reputation of pushing racist and xenophobic rhetoric among the far-right among other media organizations. Trump said that Bannon would be “working as equal partners” with Mr. Priebus.
The Democratic Party, who thought they had sealed a victory with Secretary Hillary Clinton, will not have control of any of the branches of government for at least the next two years. During this time, the party will most likely look to improve and prepare for the next election. “Our party right now is very much in a phase of self-reflection,” Feroza Freeland, president of the College Democrats, said. “We’re very proud to have supported her (Clinton) and the values that we stood for and the policies that we stood for. Those are all of the same. I think that maybe what is going to
change is our methods of outreach and kind of the ways in which we organize.” Throughout his candidacy, Trump promised that, once elected president, he would repeal the Affordable Care Act that Democrats battled to pass through Congress in 2010. The repeal has already started in Congress, but right now there is not a plan to replace the act — one of the Democratic party’s biggest concerns. “Not only his (Trump’s) biggest objective but Republicans in Congress are just barreling forward with this repeal of the Affordable Care Act,” Freeland said. “Even our own senator(s), Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander actually have said, ‘Hold on. We need to think this through. We need to have like a sufficient replacement plan in place.’”
JOURNALISM Trump has been in stark opposition to the media, calling journalists dishonest or biased and referring to articles he dislikes as fake news. Although it is likely impossible for him to succeed in doing so, his dislike for media has led him to proposing the creation and enforcement of libel laws. “I don’t think he can, as a president, change media laws or any laws that pertain to the media, nor do I think he should. I think he needs to concentrate on things that are far more important than defamation laws,” Peter Gross, journalism professor, said. Even if the businessman cannot make policy changes to affect journalism, he could potentially change the social climate against journalism. The total potential effect he could have may be slim as the majority of Americans already do not trust the media. “Over the last 20 or 30 years, people really see journalists and the media in a really negative light, and instead of continuing on that path, I think that needs to change,” Gross said. “But that’s not going to change with the president saying one thing or another. It could make things worse of course, but how much worse I don’t know. I think we need to reverse the course and have people trust the media more than they do now.”
PROTESTING Trump’s inauguration day will come with protests from those against him. Although the protests may not seem to make a

resident: Donald Trump difference now, history implies they may make a difference in the midterms. “The Tea Party proves that protests like this, they can be effective. They helped the Republicans take over congress during the 2010 election,” Anthony Nowes, political science professor and director of undergraduate studies, said. “The key is, ‘Can they be sustained?’ Things that just happen for a month or two and tend to peter out, that’s not going to have much of an effect. If this … amount of collective action continues for a couple of years, then I think it has the ability to make some difference.” Although many Republicans have criticized protesters, the right to protest is protected by the first amendment. Butcher, though he disagrees with the meaning of the protests, believes the protests are still good because they display American spirit. “I think it (protesting) happened because people are passionate, and I think that’s fine,” Bucher said. “I think it’s great when people protest because it shows that they care enough to express their opinion. If we have a country where people don’t care enough to protest, it’s not a country worth living in.”
THE CABINET Trump’s cabinet is currently going through the process of being affirmed by Congress. If affirmed, those under the president-elect will be a historically different group of Republicans. “I see it (Trump’s cabinet) as a mix. I see it as he has done some things that seem quite conventional like naming Priebus as chief of staff and then some other things that are quite unconventional like his selection for secretary of state (Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon),” Nownes said. Others who are more critical of Trump’s cabinet may see his decision to include those with no experience in government as irrational. “I think it’s unprecedented in our country’s history to have not only blatantly white supremacists and kind of racist elements — I mean if you talk about Jeff Sessions, he was denied a federal judgeship in the 80s because of questions about his racism and racial prejudice. It’s not only that to me but also just completely and utterly unqualified nominees,” Freeland said. “It’s unbelievable.”
INTERNATIONAL Although Trump’s campaign and platform may seem radical
and unprecedented to Americans, it is actually falling in line with a global trend. More and more, countries are beginning to elect leaders that align with the radical right. “This is something where the U.S. is, in a way, later than everywhere else. We’ve seen the rise of what may be turned the populist right or radical right in Europe over the course of the last 30 odd years. In some countries, they’ve made significant progress. In other countries, they’re still very small, but we’ve seen, overall, an increase in support for populist and radical right parties,” Ian Down, political science professor and director of graduate studies who specializes in comparative politics, said. “Trump is reflective of that sort of trend.” Internationally, the Trump administration has not specified many goals, and, given Trump’s wildcard approach to politics, it is anybody’s guess what he will try to do. From what he has said about international relations, the American people can assume he wants to create change. “The one thing we can say with some degree of confidence is he wants to shake things up. He wants things to be different. Now, is that going to come back and bite him? Quite likely. We live in an interdependent world. It’s not possible just to beat up on the Chinese with no consequence,” Down said. “If he attempts to lash out, the U.S. is going to pay a price.”
THE WALL Promised in the infancy of his campaign, Trump said that, if elected, he would build a wall on the southern border of the U.S. to slow immigration from Mexico. Although experts agree it is improbable, it remains to be seen whether Trump will attempt to make it happen. “What he at least implies he would do, almost everyone agrees would be impossible,” Nowes said. “To build a 10-12 foot wall along the Mexican border would be virtually impossible; however, I do expect … he will push for it.” Along with the promise of a wall, the president-elect also proclaimed that Mexico would be willing to pay for it to be built. “I can’t see Mexico paying for the wall, and I can’t see any reason for the Mexicans to pay for the wall,” Down said. “What he needs from this is not the Mexicans paying for the wall, (but) the Mexicans to be seen to be paying for the wall.” Although speculation from experts and the past can aid in predicting the future of the presidency, only time can truly tell, and today, the American people will begin watching how President Trump’s next four years will unravel.

Tandur Indian Kitchen brings ‘authentic’ Indian dishes to Knox Allie Clouse
Contributor
Cuisine: fast casual Indian
Knoxville may seem like a hard city to find authentic Indian cuisine in; however, I discovered the opposite when I ate at Tandur Indian Kitchen recently. Since I’m a picky eater and an Indian food newbie, I asked my friend Ojee Sharma to come Tandur Indian Kitchen is located on Kingston Pike and is new in the Knoxville along. As a native of New Delhi, I figured she area. Kristin Dehkordi • The Daily Beacon could judge if the meal was legit. Alongside my boyfriend, we traveled to the restaurant which was just a 10-minute drive down Kingston Pike. When we arrived, we were all pleasantly surprised by the brand new location that just opened its doors in December 2016. I instantly felt welcomed by the warm, huge fuchsia and yellow hued globes and the wafting smell of spices. All the entrees on the menu generally followed the same pattern: pick a sauce, pick a protein and choose your sides. Salads, wraps and kebabs were also offered. After some puzzling, Ojee gave her suggestions: tikka masala with chicken, saffron basmati rice and garlic naan bread. I decided to order something similar, only substituting tikka masala for the kerala coconut curry. Right before I was about to hand over my card, Ojee gasped, “They have mango lassi! You have to try one!â€? I ordered one for each of us, then Ojee ordered some veggie samosas as an appetizer (She was obviously very excited about eating something different than campus food). Three entrees, three mango lassi and a side of samosas totaled approximately $45, an okay price for a meal for three. Without the dessert and appetizers, our meals would have easily been barely over $10 each. Just a few minutes after we grabbed a booth, the waitress brought over our samosas. The two large fried triangles were accompanied by a sweet red sauce and spicy green dipping chutney. Ojee patiently explained to tear them apart and dip them in the small bowls, especially the red one. More importantly though, I was concerned with what exactly I was eating. Ojee explained that the inside was a mixture of various vegetables
Price: $ $ $ $ $ Address: 6502 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919 such as potatoes and peas which was fried into convenient pockets. As a lifelong hater of peas, I immediately rejected the appetizer and continued slurping my lassi. The lassi was almost more of a dessert smoothie than a drink to wash down food, but it was, nevertheless, one of the most delicious things I’ve ever drank. Next, our entrees arrived. Again, we took lessons from Ojee on proper etiquette. She explained that nearly everything in India is made to be eaten with your hands, so we dug in — literally. The portion size was extremely daunting, made up of a bowl filled with thick, soup-like sauce and large chunks of chicken, a bed of rice and three slices of naan. In addition to the filling lassi, our meals were almost too much to swallow. But this was just a small price to pay for tasting what even Ojee would call “authentic.� In fact, when I asked about her overall experience at Tandur, Ojee said it wasn’t far off. Her only complaints were that, although the food was good, it had probably been previously prepared, which makes sense considering that some Indian foods can take days to make, and Tandur is a fast casual concept. She also said the design and total feel of Tandur was much more westernized than traditional Indian restaurants. On the other hand, my boyfriend and I, two Indian food newbies, loved the restaurant. I thought the menu offered just enough variety for beginners, and the food was also friendly to those unfamiliar to Indian tastes. I think my boyfriend summed our experience best by saying, “I’m sad it’s over.�

SWIMMING & DIVING
‘Up and down’ Vols Vols final home meet prepare for Miss. St. will feature Olympians Trenton Duffer
Sports Editor Six games into conference play and the Vols men’s basketball team is a tough team to get a gauge on. After ending 2016 with a win over Texas A&M, the Vols hosted 14-4 Arkansas on Jan. 3 and suffered just a four-point loss in a hard-fought game. Eleven days later, the team traveled to Nashville and took down a formidable Vanderbilt squad 87-75. However, Tennessee dropped games on the road at Florida, at home against South Carolina and a bad road loss to Ole Miss on Tuesday. Freshman Jordan Bone said that there’s a process that he has to go through when losing a game. “The first thing is, when you lose, you have to watch film to see how you lost, how you played, things you did well, and what things you did bad. That’s the first step,” Bone said. “The next step is just how you have to win –– talking to your coaches, talking to your teammates and just having a positive attitude after a loss.” The Ole Miss loss was a difficult one, as the Vols saw a 52-39 lead with 15 minutes left in the game slip away as they lost 80-69 after the Rebels closed out the last 2:28 on a 12-2 run. Head coach Rick Barnes said after the game that he “never felt” the team was in control during the game. “The floor wasn’t balanced,” Barnes said. “You put a team on the free-throw line 42 times, that’s a lot, and there were a lot of fouls in this game … I thought when we were up, you expect them to make a push, and when they punched back we didn’t punch. We just took it and they kept punching. “We quit playing as a team on offense … Our shot selection was awful.”
The Vols (9-9, 2-4 SEC) have seen offensive struggles over the past four games. Tennessee ranks fifth in the SEC with 77.1 points per game, but over these past four games –– of which the Vols are 1-3 –– the team has only averaged 68.5 points per game. Tennessee is also middle of the pack in field goal percentage at 44.1 percent. “Up and down, but that’s kind of been where we’ve been,” Barnes said. “The fact that we’ve had our moments where you really think we’re going to move forward, and then we regress. We have to keep working back. What I do know about this group of guys is that I like them a lot. “I think that they’re growing, and they’re starting to understand what it does take to compete at a high level, day in and day out.” A regression at this point wouldn’t be wise for the Vols as they prepare to host Mississippi State on Saturday (TV: SEC Network, 3:30 p.m.). The Bulldogs (12-5, 3-2) bring a highoctane offense into Knoxville, and that offense is led by Quinndary Weatherspoon, who is top five in the SEC with 17.7 points per game. Miss. St. also shoots 46 percent, which is good enough for fourth in the SEC. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are coming off a near upset of No. 5 Kentucky but were upended 88-81. With a tough offensive challenge coming to town, Barnes trusts his team to take the next step. “We still have a long way to go, but I think their attitudes, their communication that they’re starting to have with each other is going to be really important as we continue to move forward,” Barnes said. “We’re just into the third week of conference play, and it’s a long way to go. “We’ve got a lot of room that we can continue to grow, and we need to do that with this young group of guys.”
