Freshman swimmer learning the ropes from seniors Taylor Crombie Contributor
Tennessee freshman Meghan Small has made a splash since joining the swim team last fall. She wasted no time and picked up her first two career wins in the Volunteers’ second meet of the season in the 200yard backstroke (1:56.86) and the 200yard individual medley (2:00.63), both of

which qualify for NCAA B-cut times. Last weekend against Georgia, she trimmed her time in the 200 backstroke down to 1:55.64 and her 200 IM down to 1:58.31, keeping herself in the conversation for Tennessee top performers week after week. While many athletes can be described as intense and, at times, inconsistent, Tennessee head coach Matt Kredich says Small is different. “She’s not somebody that is particularly fiery or volatile, she just brings a really
steady attitude and a really steady work ethic,” Kredich said. Small did not start swimming competitively until she was 13 and says that transitioning from club swimming to swimming as part of a team at UT was definitely something that required some adjustments. “I think coming from club swimming, you focus more on yourself and that aspect of the swimming world,” Small said. “Coming to a team where it’s not “I” anymore, it’s all about us being together and

the points are not just you winning. It’s to swim for your team, not just yourself.” The training and meet schedule on top of being a college student was another huge adjustment she had to make. “The concept of a dual meet has been the biggest challenge,” Small said. “To be able to go fast in the middle of the week — after classes — is a new thing for me, but I think all of the freshmen have definitely handled it pretty well.” See SMALL on Page 8

Tensions rise between Mexico, U.S. On the morning of Jan. 26, a meeting between President Trump and Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto was canceled. President Trump had already signed an executive order Wednesday, Jan. 25, to move forward with his plan to build a wall on the southern border of the United States, claiming that it was in partnership with Mexico and a plan from which both nations would benefit. While he reiterated that Mexico was willing to reach an agreement which would benefit both nations, Peña Nieto has condemned the wall, calling it divisive. There are fears that tensions between the U.S. and Mexico will begin to rise in the near future.
Mary Tyler Moore agencies face 3. Government 2. passes away at age 80 social media shutdown On Wednesday, Jan. 25, it was reported that actress and television icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80. Aside from her most famous roles as Laurie Petrie in the Dick Van Dyke show, from 1961-1966, or, most notably, as Mary Richards in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, from 1970-1977. She was also a writer, producer and advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She was considered a “visionary” and “groundbreaker,” paving the way for future actresses unbound by traditional gender roles in television and culture — defying the stereotype of the 1960s housewife most viewers were accustomed to seeing.
Various government agencies are allegedly being silenced from social media use — mostly those involving environmental and scientific research. The Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the Departments of Interior and Agriculture, have reportedly been ordered from the White House to cease social media use and press releases to the public. However, Press Secretary Sean Spicer denies these claims — stating these orders are not coming from the White House. This trend has continued since the day of the inauguration, when the National Park Services’ twitter account was temporarily disabled after retweeting a a photo comparing the crowd sizes of President Trump and formerpresident Obama’s inaugurations.

Forensic Anthropology Center celebrates 30th anniversary Libby Dayhuff
Staff Writer In celebration of its 30th anniversary, the Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) will give guests a chance to see the behind-the-scenes operations of its facilities. The showcases will be for the public, pre-registered donors and families of donors. Guests will get to tour the William M. Bass Forensic Anthropology Building and lab to see what the center does firsthand and learn more about forensic anthropology, including activities for children. Pre-registered donors and families of donors will have the opportunity to see the lab and ask questions about the research. The center conducts research that aids law enforcement and medical examiners. Researchers help identify deceased people, assess trauma and determine time since death. By using geographic information systems and conducting isotope research, the FAC can also determine the geographical background of a person. The center relies on people who donate
their bodies to the program for research after death. There are approximately 4,000 current pre-registered donors and the center receives about 100 donations a year. Partly because of these donations, the center’s body donation program was able to celebrate its 35th anniversary last year. “(The body donation program) is the heart and soul of what we do here. None of the research or activities or training we do for law enforcement and students could happen without the generosity of people who donate their bodies to us,” Dawnie Wolfe Steadman, director of the FAC, said. The center’s body donation program is different than other body donation programs because donors’ remains are not returned to relatives. After decomposition, the remains are placed in the skeletal collection. The center’s William M. Bass Donated Skeletal Collection is the largest contemporary collection in the United States with approximately 1,700 specimens of human skeletal remains. The collection allows researchers to observe how different diseases affect bones, such as cancer and diabetes. It also allows new methods

This training is not just for the legal and medical community. UT students also have the opportunity to work with the Forensic Anthropology Center. “It’s a really cool experience to get to work there and learn what you wouldn’t be able to anywhere else. It makes the
University of Tennessee really special,” Emily Grimes, a senior in microbiology who takes photographs of the donors during decomposition to catalog process, said. Any UT student interested in working for the FAC can fill out a volunteer application found on the center’s website.

Freezing the EPA may trump America David Garcia Public Scientist
The freeze on federal grant and contract spending by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as the media freeze, has been a confusing mess brought on by what can, at best, be called a strategic error. It is not uncommon for the new administrations to put media freezes on federal agencies. In fact, it is a reasonable action in an office where authority and focus are keys to success. However, the administration has made a grave error in the pursuit of its policies, as their stance on scientific and environmental matters has been increasingly at odds with facts — alternative or otherwise. President Trump’s freeze of the EPA’s media outlets, coupled with a freeze on the issuing of new grants, does not immediately stop all of the funding that has already been provided by the EPA. It is, however, unclear how much this is stifling work at the EPA as little
information has been made available. Regardless, the lack of communication on the part of the new administration let loose the dogs of misinformation and mild scaremongering. The somewhat unjustified fear aside, the actions by our new administration carry potentially disastrous consequences — not because of the freeze on spending by the EPA, but because of the precedent it might set for government oversight of federally funded research. The government has certainly had control over the work of their scientists in the past, but only at the level of review and quality control. The grant system, which funds much of this work, certainly has its problems. But putting a nix on publishing controversial data, if gathered correctly, has never been part of that practice. Doug Ericksen, the head of communications for the administra-
tion’s EPA transition team, noted that a review process of the EPA’s scientists would be put into practice and their individual research efforts scrutinized before being published. This is quite troubling as the transition team is expected to complete their current review of the EPA’s grants and contract by Friday. This gives them little time to acquire a thorough understanding of an entity as complex as the EPA — let alone their research. At first, this may seem like the end of the world, but reputation is hard to gain and an easily lost commodity, especially in the world of high stakes scientific research. In the short term, this may serve the Trump administration’s hope of controlling the dialogue about climate science, but it will only be a short time before the EPA loses its scientific teeth. The new era of publishing groundbreaking research is such that more and more prestigious
journals require a full publication of a study’s raw data. Enacting a policy wherein the release of data is strictly controlled will likely just make these studies ineligible for publication in trusted journals. While it is certainly tragic that such talent will be wasted, it will likely have very little impact as other countries and other scientists will take up the mantle. Regardless of the outcome of their actions, the Trump administration has shown that it clearly does not have a finger on the pulse of America’s science culture. In an era where the censorship of information is harder and more reviled than ever, the Trump administration will need to get wise as to how it handles its mandates and research.

Approximately 2,000 volunteers work annually to keep CAC Beardsley Community Farm sustainable, with more than 100 different varieties of fruits and vegetables grown on around four-acres of usable land. Beardsley Farm has a goal of promoting food security and educating the Knoxville public on agriculture and produce. This goal requires support from the Knoxville community though, and one way Beardsley Farm gets this support is through their annual Snow Day event –– a day of soup, music and quirky fun. “Snow Day helps raise about 10 percent of the farm’s operating budget which helps us donate over 10,000 pounds of annual produce to hunger relief organizations, and educate the community about the benefits of sustainable agriculture and nutrition,” Khann Chov, the urban agriculture director for Beardsley Farm, said. Chov expects this year’s Snow Day to be a success and is most excited about the large number of groups participating. “About 100 area businesses have donated items to the silent auction to make it successful and to help us raise money. We have eight contestants for the soup-off and seven local bands. We estimate about 800 people will attend the event. It will be warm and enjoyable, and we hope to see a lot of UT students there,” Chov said. The soup contest has eight competitors this year: OliBea, Holly’s Corner, Sunspot, Tootsie Truck, Bistro by the

The musical line-up, similarly, is diverse this year. Matt Nelson and Caleb Hall, Count This Penny, Kelle Jolly, The Pinklets, Pleases, J-Bush and Big Bad Oven will all be performing. The Pinklets are excited not just to participate in the event, but also to hear the other bands perform, some of whom they have never heard live before. “We think it is important to help promote and support organizations like this because it benefits the community, especially for those not as privileged as others,” the band said. “We are excited to play for an old and new crowd and branch out to other people who may have not heard us before, which is always exciting.” There will also be multiple beard contests, including a homemade beard contest for women and men without facial hair. Jenna Bailey, an AmeriCorps member who serves as the volunteer coordinator at Beardsley Farm, is excited to experience her first Snow Day. “I think that there are a lot of different aspects to Snow Day; but for me, the most exciting part is that so many people come and support, come and participate. I think it’s a really special way to start our year at the farm,” Bailey said. The ninth annual Snow Day will be at Barley’s Taproom and Pizzeria at 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 27.

NEW YORK (AP) — Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New York City early Thursday after he got into an altercation with another man during a performance art project that has seen him chanting “He will not divide us” in front of a live camera since Donald Trump’s first day as president. Police said LaBeouf pulled the scarf of a 25-year-old man outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, scratching his face in the process. They said he also pushed the man, who refused medical attention.
The tussle happened on the seventh day of a livestream (http://www.hewillnotdivide.us/) that LaBeouf and two collaborators intend to have running 24 hours a day for the next four years. They have invited the public to repeat the phrase “He will not divide us,” into a camera mounted on an outdoor wall. It was unclear whether the camera captured any of Thursday’s confrontation, but it did show the aftermath, including LaBeouf being handcuffed and led off by police. In the moments before his arrest, he issued a plea into the camera. “Hey, be nice. Everybody be nice down here, man. Just be nice! That’s the only requirement. Be nice!” he said. “That’s
all I ask. Be nice. Pro this, pro that. Cool. But be nice.” The camera went live the morning of the inauguration. LeBeouf has been a frequent presence. Most of the time he is surrounded by enthusiastic supporters, but the cameras have also shown him getting aggressive with fellow participants. In one instance, he shoved a man who said “Hitler did nothing wrong.” In another, he bumped chests with a man who began reciting a white supremacist slogan. Videos posted on social media show LaBeouf returning to the site before sunrise to resume chanting. He faces a misdemeanor assault charge and is due in court April 4.

Vols look to spoil Gators’ Senior Day in regular season finale TaylorCrombie Contributor
After losing their final home meet to Georgia, the Vols swimming and diving are looking to hammer out some last-minute details and test their abilities against Florida before resting for the SEC Championship meet. The Gators split their last meet at Auburn and will be returning home to take on conference rival Tennessee for their Senior Day meet. Tennessee will take on Florida’s No. 10-ranked men’s team and No. 20-ranked women’s team on Saturday at 10 a.m. inside the Stephen C. O’Connell Center Natatorium. “Florida is a great team,� sophomore Kyle DeCoursey said. “Regardless of what they look like on paper, they always bring it when we come to town and vice versa. It’ll be a great competition, and it’s their Senior Day, so they’ll be ready to race. I think it’ll be a fast meet.� With the dual meet season winding down, a
few Tennessee swimmers have really started to hit their stride. Head coach Matt Kredich has been particularly impressed with DeCoursey, redshirt junior David Heron and freshman Meghan Small. “This difference between David Heron this year and this time last year is enormous,� Kredich said. “We have tweaked his training program a little bit, and he feels great about that. (Associate Coach) Tyler Fenwick has done a really nice job in making changes that have benefited David and actually, that whole group really well. I think we’ve got good speed for this time of year. Our sprinters are in a particularly good spot.� Despite losing to Georgia last week, Heron had one of the best meets of his career. He took the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:02.90 and the 500 free in 4:24.76. DeCoursey also put together a tremendous meet against Georgia and swept the sprint freestyle events for the fifth time this year. He recorded a season-best 19.54 in the 50-yard free-

Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon style and took the 100-yard freestyle in 43.70, both of which are comfortably within the NCAA B-cut standards. “Kyle DeCoursey is doing things that only two or three other people in the country are doing right now in dual meets,â€? Kredich said. “I think really across the board we’re making progress, but it’s nice to see a few individuals taking big jumps forward. I expect to see more of that as we get to the end of the season.â€? On the women’s side, this will be a special meet for sophomore Madeline Banic. Not only is it Tennessee’s final dual meet before the SEC Championship, but she will also have the opportunity to compete against Florida’s Kelsey Dambacher. Banic and Dambacher both went to Cosby High School in Virginia and participated
in club swimming together prior to college. “I’m super excited to see her and race against her for the first time since club swimming, so it’ll be a fun meet,� Banic said. While Kredich is looking ahead to the rest period between this weekend, the SEC Championship meet and ensuring that his swimmers are healthy, he wants to see the Vols embrace the challenge of competing at a high level away from home. “We just really want to compete, and Florida’s home pool is one of the toughest places to compete if you’re a visiting team,� Kredich said. “We have SEC’s in the comfort of our home pool. We actually want to test ourselves in a place that’s a little more hostile and unfamiliar and still be able to compete.�

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Vols seek to remain true to type against Kansas State Rob Harvey
Asst. Sports Editor On Saturday, the Tennessee men’s basketball team will aim to repeat something they have already done once this year: Win three games in a row. The Vols (11-9, 4-4 SEC) have been a solid team at times this season, but have struggled to remain consistent from game to game and have failed to secure wins against some big teams down the stretch. However, they may finally be hitting their stride. “I thought our poise was great from the beginning,” head coach Rick Barnes said on Tuesday after the Vols upset of the No. 4 Kentucky Wildcats. “I thought we stayed locked in with what we are trying to get done throughout the game. I’m just really proud and happy for these guys. “You guys know, we’ve been in a lot of good ones with teams that we just couldn’t break through, and for them to get this done tonight, I just appreciate them.” The only time the Vols have won three games in a row this season were blowouts against lower level Chaminade, Georgia Tech and Presbyterian. This time, the completion of a winning trifecta will be a little tougher. The Vols upset over the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday night was their second consistent showing in a row, the first being against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, a game in which they won 91-74. Now, the Vols must maintain this consistency against another solid team –– Kansas State. The Wildcats come into the game with a 15-5 record but lost to a subpar Iowa State team on Tuesday. Before the loss to Iowa State, Kansas State received the most votes out of any team not ranked in the Top 25. For Barnes, he hopes his team prepares
SMALL continued from Page 1 And her teammates agree that she has adjusted well to those changes. Senior Colleen Callahan also swims in the breaststroke and individual medley events and has had the chance to watch Small’s progress closely since the two train together. “It’s great to have her as a training partner in a lot of our IM sets,” Callahan said. “She definitely made a great transi-
well for the Wildcats. “If you ask me right now what I think, I’d like to think that they’ll come back and get ready against an outstanding team here Saturday against Kansas State, probably the surprise team in the Big 12,” Barnes said on Tuesday. “I just think there is so much parity in college basketball that if you don’t prepare, you’re going to get beat.” The Vols will need senior Robert Hubbs III and graduate-transfer Lew Evans to step up if they want to sustain. Hubbs has been dependable for most of the season, being especially successful in the Vols’ 11 wins. Hubbs is averaging over 17 points per game in the Vols wins and has scored 19 and 25 points, respectfully, in the past two games. For Hubbs, the close losses against topranked teams such as North Carolina, Oregon and Gonzaga have helped him and the team. “We always talked about playing highranked teams and not being able to finish out, so this was an example of us moving forward. We have to take this and keep climbing that ladder,” Hubbs said on Tuesday. For the other leader of the team, Evans has struggled this season on the offensive side. Evans is averaging just three points per game and two rebounds. Yet, in the last two games, Evans’ stats have shot up, racking up five points and nine rebounds against Miss. State and eight big points against Kentucky. Coach Barnes has taken notice of Evans production as of late. “Lew does a lot of things,” Barnes said. “He can handle the ball, and he passes it. And sometimes he breaks out of the offense early, in terms of wanting to go and make things happen too quick. He has gotten better with that, but it is what he does.” The Vols will tipoff against Kansas State at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28. The game will be broadcasted on ESPN2. tion into the team. She’s a great positive force in practices; it’s been great having her.” Small has earned SEC honors twice in her short career. She was named SEC Swimmer of the Week after winning all three of her events in Tennessee’s meet against Auburn in November. She posted two NCAA B-cut times with her 1:56.01 finish in the 200-yard backstroke and 4:13.56 in the 400-individual medley. She also finished the 200-yard freestyle with a season-best time of 1:48.03. Most recently, she was named SEC Freshman of the Week for her perfor-

She was one of three female Tennessee swimmers to win two individual events at that meet, taking the 200 freestyle (1:48.71) and the 200 backstroke (1:57.77). She credits having strong upperclassmen influences like Callahan to her success early in her career. “Patricia Forrester and Colleen (Callahan) have definitely taken me under their wing,” she said. “Colleen, from more of a training aspect, pushes me every day in practice; and then Trish, more outside of the pool. She definitely
Rick Barnes, head coach helps keep not just myself, but everyone happy and just brings such a positive attitude to practice.” Following the Vols’ final home meet of the season against Georgia, Coach Kredich named Small as one of a few Tennessee swimmers who has really started to hit her stride in the January meets and is very pleased with the progress she has made this season. “She’s been just a joy to work with,” Kredich said. “She’s really patient and she’s very studious. She works hard in the water. As much as anything, she’s just really steady and consistent.”
