LOOKIN’ DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN Local gun shop owner talks student access, permit-carriers on campus Heidi Hill
Staff Writer Nestled in a pink house near South Knoxville, Cary Wiedman presides over firearms transactions for out-of-state customers that visit A-Zone Sports, the gun transfer business he has operated since 2012. Though his job is part-time, Wiedman said his interest in firearms is rooted in the time he spent shooting .22 caliber pistols with his grandfather. “I like guns because they are simple machines (and) I like the engineering behind them,” Wiedman said. “There’s only so many ways you can make a gun, so when someone does something innovative, you want to see what it is.” In an eclectic living room of antique cameras, Wiedman meets clients, roughly 100 per year and organizes a pick-up for gun orders placed by online customers — a process he likens to a version of eBay for gun connoisseurs and salesmen.

“(It’s) just like someone who sells Beanie Babies would also sell stuff on eBay,” he said. “The only difference is the Beanie Babies go straight to a customer whereas a gun has to go through a dealer first.” As a transfer point, Wiedman receives materials from gun distributors, after he confirms his license and receives the firearm shipment for a final sale. Following a successful background check, the A-Zone Sports owner completes the transaction. These background checks are run through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s database, referencing both national and state queries. All of this, Wiedman said, creates a “more effective” catch for flagged individuals. Still, President Obama’s recent executive action on gun control (is designed to place more regulations on these background checks, originally intended to prevent convicted felons from obtaining weapons.

Senator McCain denounces Pentagon for engine exchange with Russia
Mammoth bones discovered under Oregon State University stadium
Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator John McCain, R-Arizona, expressed disapproval of the Pentagon’s reliance on Russia for rocket engines sending American military satellites into space. McCain argued the exchange encourages the relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and threatens United States’ national security. United Launch Alliance, the U.S. contractor responsible for acquiring the engines from Russia, is currently under contract with the Air Force for the launch of military and spy satellites. Air Force secretary Deborah James reported her department is working as fast as it can to end the use of Russian engines. McCain further argued purchasing these engines from Russia supports Russia’s actions in Syria and their support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, two things the U.S. currently claims to stand against. McCain said on Wednesday that alternatives are available and should be pursued as soon as possible.
A construction crew working on Oregon State University’s Reser Stadium as part of the Valley Football Center expansion and renovation project discovered ancient bones of a wooly mammoth while excavating the property. A large femur and several other bones were found of the animal under the stadium’s north end zone. The anthropology department at Oregon State University reported the stadium is likely the site of an ancient marsh or bog. Loren Davis, associate professor of anthropology, cited the mammoth was likely sick and chose to travel to the marsh to die near 10,000 years ago. Davis has set aside part of the property for her anthropology students to excavate for class research.
Six members of Citizens for Constitutional Freedom arrested Federal authorities have arrested individuals of the Citizens for Constitutional Freedom, the armed protest group spending near a month in Oregon demanding the exchange of land from federal to local possession. The six arrested Tuesday night, including leader Ammon Bundy, are facing felony charges of “conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats,” according to police reports. Shots were exchanged in the arrest and one death is reported. It is unclear how many more arrests the federal officers have to make as numbers on how many protesters are still on location are unknown. Local authorities previously urged the group to leave peacefully to avoid any “trouble” coming to the area.

ST. LOUIS — The Ferguson Police Department has agreed to overhaul its policies, training and practices as part of a sweeping deal with the Justice Department following the 2014 fatal police shooting of 18-yearold Michael Brown, city and federal officials announced Wednesday. The recommendations, detailed in a 131page proposed consent decree, are meant to correct problems identified in a scathing Justice Department report last year that identified unconstitutional and discriminatory practices across the city police force and municipal court system. The city had been under federal scrutiny since the August 2014 shooting of Brown, who was black and unarmed, by white police officer Darren Wilson. The killing led to protests and promoted a wave of national scrutiny about police use of force and law enforcement’s interactions with minorities. Wilson was cleared in the shooting, but a federal investigation into the Ferguson police force found sweeping patterns of racial bias across the city’s criminal justice system. A Justice Department report in March found that officers routinely used excessive force, issued petty citations and made baseless traffic stops in the city of about 21,000 residents, about two-thirds of whom are black. It also criticized
the police force, which was nearly all white, and the court system for leaning heavily on fines for petty municipal violations as a source of revenue for the city government. The recommended overhaul follows seven months of negotiations and likely averts a civil rights lawsuit that federal officials can bring against departments that resist changing their policing practices. City officials posted the tentative deal on its website and scheduled three public sessions for input from residents. A City Council vote is scheduled for Feb. 9. The agreement envisions a top-to-bottom reshaping of basic policing practices as the Justice Department calls for fundamental changes in how officers conduct stops, searches and arrests, use their firearms and respond to demonstrations. Ferguson officials also agreed to rewrite their municipal code to limit the use of fines and jail time for petty violations. “The agreement also will ensure that the city’s stated commitment to refocusing police and municipal court practices on public safety, rather than revenue generation, takes root and will not be undone,” Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, wrote in a letter to Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III. Among the highlights of the deal is a requirement that all patrol officers, supervisors and jail workers be outfitted within 180 days with body-worn cameras and microphones. The cameras, aimed at promoting accountability, are to be activated for all traffic stops,
arrests, searches and encounters with people believed to be experiencing a mental health crisis. Officers also would be expected to justify as reasonable each shot they fire. Police officers and court employees would be given annual training on “bias-free policing” to help them recognize unconscious stereotyping. New training would also be given on proper stops, searches and arrests, as well as on use of force and appropriate responses to demonstrators and protesters. The city also will develop a recruitment plan to attract diversity to the police force. Ferguson spokesman Jeff Small said the city hasn’t calculated its total financial obligations but called them “significant.” Ferguson voters will consider two ballot measures in April that would increase property and sales taxes — without which the city expects to resort to layoffs to help plug a $2.8 million budget shortfall. “We’re not just going to negotiate and say, ‘Boom. This is what you have to live with as a community,” Small said. Gupta said “the entire Ferguson community has reason to be proud” about the deal, saying in her letter Tuesday that its implementation will “ensure that police and court services in Ferguson are provided in a manner that fully promotes public safety, respects the fundamental rights of all Ferguson residents, and makes policing in Ferguson safer and more rewarding for officers.” The city’s statement called the deal “the best agreement that the city’s representatives were able to obtain for the citizens.”

Mariijuana bill to reduce incarcerations Mariijuana bill to reduce incarcerations Alahnah Ligon Staff Writer
The upper house of Tennessee’s General Assembly met Tuesday to discuss a bill that would alleviate the felony from the third and subsequent arrests for simple possession of marijuana. House Bill 0873 was passed in the House committee in February last year and began making its way through the Senate this January. Representative Harold Love, D-Nashville, lead sponsor for the bill in the House, said the primary objective of the bill is to reduce felonies while minimizing incarceration costs. “This is our attempt to ease the burden on people in these situations where they may have been in possession of this illegal substance, but we don’t think that the jail time matches the crime,” Love said. Love cited a fiscal review of the bill that reflected saving the state $1.2 million in incarceration fees annually. “That means the state is spending
$1.2 million in our prisons to incarcerate persons who are in there for half ounce possession or less of marijuana per year,” Love said. “We’re not even talking the cost of families — we’re just talking the costs of society. I’m sure we could find $1.2 million to spend someplace else like drug rehab programs for persons who really have addictions.” In addition to lifting the felony charge for third and subsequent possessions, the bill would increase the amount of simple possession of marijuana from one-half ounce to one ounce. Responding to concerns from the Department of Safety that the increase could negatively affect the crime rate in Tennessee, Senator Jeff Yarbro, D-Nashville, sponsor for the bill in the Senate, proposed an amendment at Tuesday’s meeting to remove the clause. Yarbro said he hopes the amendment will lighten the bill and “cause less heartburn” for everyone involved. “It simplifies the bill dramatically,” Yarbro said. “It doesn’t redefine what simple possession is. Under Tennessee
We’re not even talking the cost of families — we’re just talking the costs of society. ” Harold Love, State Representative
law, that’s the same. The only thing that happens is that the third and subsequent offense does not rise to the level of a felony.” Yarbro argued a decrease in felonies for simple possession would take a step in a direction most district attorney’s offices are already starting to take. “While district attorney offices are
authorized to charge these as felonies, there are several district attorney offices that do not do this either as a practice or as a matter of policy,” Yarbro said. “Most people are not binding those over and holding them to a grand jury.” Yarbro further noted the fiscal analysis performed on his amended bill demonstrated a decrease of state expenditures on incarcerations by $700,000. “We could make a change that would reduce incarceration rates for nonviolent offenders without affecting crime rates,” Yarbro said. “Giving what we’re trying to do, given the amount of money we’re spending on incarcerations and given where we are on what real prosecution practice is, I think this is a sensible and comprehensive first step for the legislature to take.” Later examination of the amendment disclosed a drafting error that maintained the increase of simple possession from one-half ounce to one ounce of marijuana. As a result of the error, the floor motioned to defer action until Feb. 2.

BULLET POINTS SEMI AUTOMATIC Rifle/Shotgun - Must be 18 years or older to purchase. Must pass a standard background check through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Pistol/Handgun - Must be 21 years or older to purchase and obtain a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit. Must pass a standard background check through the Bureau. There is no waiting period for firearms purchase in Tennessee, but a background check may take several days, after the purchaser fills out a 4437 Form created by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.*
AUTOMATIC All automatic or assault weapons have been barred from public sale since 1986 after the Hughes Amendment to the Firearms Owners Act became law. All weapons manufactured before this year are allowed in markets, but no new models can be sold for use by private citizens. About 10,000 of these weapons are listed as “transferrables” and are in circulation, but are only sold between private parties. These weapons rank highest in price because of their limited supply. Any new automatic weapons can only be obtained legally by government agencies, military or law enforcement personnel.
ILLEGAL WEAPONS Short-barreled rifles or shotgun, machine guns, silencers, explosive weapons or any device designed or adapted for engaging an explosive weapon are banned from sale in Tennessee. *Note: The state of Tennessee issues carry permit to handguns, but not loaded long guns, i.e. rifles.
GUNS continued from Page 1 The background check, officially known as a 4437 Form, is comprehensive in its questioning, covering immigrant status, criminal record and medical status or mental adjudication. But to Wiedman, it is easy to manipulate the survey’s “yes/no” response boxes, particularly for questions on the purchaser’s mental status. “Even if we (did) conduct background checks for private sales, I don’t think that’s going to catch anything because they’re not going to go through the nice guy who does a background check,” Wiedman said. “You know, a criminal is a criminal.” Still, the majority of his clients are firearm enthusiasts like himself, intrigued by gun variety and sportsmanship associated with their weapon of choice. Four or five of those clients have included UT students. “Typically (students) know what they’re looking for,” Wiedman said. “They’ve found what they’re looking for online and were raised around guns and are getting the first one to own for themselves.” One such student is two-time transfer customer Joe White, fifth-year senior in BCMB, who, like Wiedman, honed his shooting skills at a young age. “On a psychological level, I really like firearms — I like the way it feels when you shoot it, and I think it relieves stress,” White said. After purchasing his first pistol at 21, White said his awareness of background checks heightened, yet he still doesn’t believe the presence of mass shootings as “isolated events” is not enough to warrant national action. “I do see how — to the public — it seems like gun controls could prevent those situations, but I don’t think you can prevent crazy, to be completely honest,” White said. In a recent press conference, President Obama announced mental health as a component to his executive actions, citing mass shootings in Newtown, Fort Hood, Aurora, Charleston, Santa Barbara and, more recently, in San Bernandino where a married couple opened fire at Inland Regional Center, killing 14 people. The executive orders outlined three methods to reduce gun violence, including the addition of over 200 AFT agents, enhanced background checks focused mental health evaluations and government-funded sponsorship for gun safety technology. White’s solution, however, only involves tightening the process of background checks by interjecting face-to-face interactions with TBI or other federal representatives to evaluate mental health.
“If you’re talking to someone in person, you may be able to pick up on body language or queues that is grounds to deny a weapon to someone,” he said. As a single father, Wiedman said the most preventive measure is education on how handle the weapon with caution and care. “I remember when (my daughter) was five, and she asked why I had a gun and I explained to her that I didn’t want to ever harm anyone, but if someone wanted to hurt me or (her), I wanted to be able to stop them.” Still, UT’s restrictions on firearms on campus remains a point of contention for the A-Zone Sports owner. Per Tennessee law and the university’s Code of Conduct, it is a criminal offense to “carry or possess a firearm or other weapon, whether openly or concealed, on any property owned, used, or operated by the University of Tennessee.” For Wiedman, this restriction impedes on constitutional rights that permits U.S. citizens the right to bear arms in all contexts, namely self-defense. “There are certainly people, and I’m among them, who (think) that if a danger does come, the guy who has a legally possessed gun might be able to put a stop to it before the cops arrive,” Wiedman said. But for UTPD Chief Troy Lane, such action is not advisable for those not trained as a police officer or first responder. “The simple fact is that if we did have an active shooter on campus, there is no individual on this campus that has more training than we do to respond to that,” Lane said. Lane, who oversaw a shooter preparedness seminar for students in response to a mass shooting in Oregon, said UT’s restriction on firearms do not undermine constitutional rights, but rather emphasize campus-wide safety for all — not just those with carrying permits. The UTPD Chief also said a permitcarrying individual attempting to handle a shooter scenario creates more confusion for the responders, who are trained to look for a person holding a gun. “We don’t really have the time to discern whether that’s a valid permit holder. We see someone with a gun, we will address that straight away.” Though he acknowledges the merit of background checks, Lane also said a campus simply warrants different regulations as an environment for student life — even for a proponent of Second Amendment rights like himself. “I’m a big gun guy myself and I would absolutely defend that right, but campus is just a different atmosphere — you’re dealing with a different demographic here.”

Greek organizations adjusting to new judicial system Brendan Hayes Contributor
Spring rush came to a close this past weekend with more than 230 students participating in Interfraternity Council’s spring recruitment. The number is up by more than 100 from last spring, according to Greek Advisor and Assistant Director of Sorority & Fraternity Life Adam Kowalski. However, bigger changes are coming to Greek organizations in the coming semesters other than a boost in involvement. The biggest change on the table for Greeks is the new proposed Student Code of Conduct that entails the removal of the Greek judicial board and implementation of a Student Conduct Board to judge Greeks who have broken rules. With the elimination of the Greek Judicial Board, fraternities and sororities will no longer be judged by students outside Greek life, rather than their peers of affiliation. “Our organizations will play a more instrumental role in the self-sanctioning process
in conjunction with the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards,” Kowalski said. Kowalski also gave his support to a new system, which he said he hoped will bring better approach to justice into the new year. However, not everyone shares his optimism. Will Napier, IFC vice president of Internal Affairs, sees the loss of the Greek Judicial Board as “disconcerting,” due mostly to what he said is a hostile approach by the university towards Greek life regulation. “While no Greek organization is entitled to be treated any differently than any other student organization, it seems like there is a bias against the Greek system,” Napier said. “I would like to see (the Greek Judicial Board) reinstated because the general consensus among people that I’ve spoken to is that many worry that the current disciplinary processes will be biased when ruling on violations committed by Greek organizations.” Trey Augustine, junior in engineering, said he shared in Napier’s opinion on the coming change to an old policy. Citing a lack of trust from the university, Augustine views the close relationship UT
French lawmakers approve terminal sedation Associated Press
PARIS (AP) — France’s Parliament has approved a bill that will let doctors keep terminally ill patients sedated until death comes but stops short of legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide. After years of tense debate over the issue and a long journey through Parliament, the bill was passed by the country’s lower House and Senate Wednesday. The text is the result of a consensus of socialist and conservative lawmakers. The new law will allow patients to request “deep, continuous sedation altering consciousness until death” but only when their condition is likely to lead to a quick death. Doctors will be allowed to stop life-sustaining treatments, including artificial hydration and nutrition. Sedation and painkillers will be allowed “even if they may shorten the person’s life.” The bill will also apply to patients who are unable to express their will, following a process that includes consultation with family members. The methods can involve medicating patients until they die naturally of their illness or until they starve. Some doctors, however, say it may be more human to euthanize. “Everyone must be able to decide how to
live the very last moments,” socialist lawmaker Alain Claeys, co-author of the bill, said in a speech at the National Assembly. “Our text has one purpose: fighting a ‘bad dying’ that still happens too often in France.” The other co-author of the bill, conservative party lawmaker Jean Leonetti, said the text aimed to tell the French: “At end of your life, if the suffering is unbearable, you’ll be allowed to get to sleep, soothed and serene.” The debate over end-of-life conditions has been revived in France due to the case of Vincent Lambert, a Frenchman in a coma since a car accident eight years ago. His family is divided over whether to continue care for him. Europe’s top human rights court ruled in June that doctors could stop treatments for him. Legal proceedings are continuing in France, however, since Lambert’s parents have asked for a legal representative to be designated. The new bill will also force doctors to follow end-of-life instructions regarding terminal sedation and stopping treatments, whether they are expressed by the persons themselves or written in advance. People can also designate a “trustworthy person” whose opinion would be predominant in case of patients that are no longer able to express their will. The bill specifies that patients can choose to be sedated at home or in the hospital.
While no Greek organization is entitled to be treated any differently ... it seems like there is a bias against the Greek system.” Will Napier, IFC vice president
holds with each respective Greek organizations’ nationals as being partially responsible for the lack of representation Greek students have. “(UT is) very close with every organizations Nationals which could implement a
punishment of their organizations without the use of judge and jury at the school. From the outside looking in you can’t understand it, and from the inside looking out you can’t explain it,” Augustine said. Opposition to this change comes from more than just current Greeks, but also from alumni. Martin Daniel, 18th district House of Representative, said he was opposed to the new system before its implementation last semester. “An ordinary student has a preconceived opinion that could result in punishment based off unfounded facts. It’s arbitrary bureaucracy,” Daniel said. However, Vice Chancellor for Student Life Vincent Carilli made a case for the new system, drawing on the importance of including students in judicial cases where other students are accused. “I would loathe a situation in which we had a board that did not include students,” Carilli said. “I think they are that important to the process. That being said, students are the biggest critics of other students.”

Downtown cafe welcomes both locals and newcomers Megan Patterson Arts & Culture Editor For more than a decade, Scott West has been on a mission to “Keep Knoxville Scruffy.” In keeping with this goal, West’s latest venture, Market House Café, opened this past December in the corner of Market Square which borders Wall Avenue and Strong Street. Tenants of this corner of the square have not experienced much success in the past, but West hopes to change all that with his café which doubles as a licensed visitor center. However, I didn’t know all this when I walked in to buy a sandwich last night. I knew that a new café had opened on Market Square and that I was going to review it. Eating dinner at a café sounded odd to me and I even checked to be sure that they were still open when I approached at 6 p.m. on Wednesday night. Surprisingly, the café had a warm interior that seemed to compliment night life with a
handful of bar tables on hardwood floors under painted red-orange overhead lights. But as I took a seat at a long counter that faced nearly floor to ceiling windows, I could imagine that for most of the day the venue wouldn’t need more than natural lighting. Already intrigued by the aesthetic that captured that of both a morning café and a late night bite, I stepped up to order. The handwritten menu featured a plethora of sandwiches, all with delightfully punny names. Most sandwiches featured references to historical people, places or events in Knoxville and all had interesting ingredients which incorporated deli staples with enough of a new twist to be unexpected. I went with the Odd Fellows Reuben #1, pastrami on pumpernickel rye bread with sauerkraut, swiss cheese and a spicy home-made Russian dressing. For my choice of side, I went with the buskers potato salad, described as a “creamy, crunchy backyard-style red potato salad.” A glance at the daily specials showed that they had an apple, beet and carrot juice, so
naturally I had to try it as well. Then before I could get my debit card from my wallet I saw a homemade cinnamon roll from Tellico Grains Bakery on display. Who can say no to that? Although I returned to my seat $20 lighter, I consider it money well spent. My dinner companion chose what the cashier said was a house favorite, the Cas Walker Classic Roast Beef, and we sat at the counter with our stomachs rumbling already. I took this time to observe more about the café itself. The deli counter stood at the front of the space, but toward the back, a bar stands nestled in among tall tables. This setup seemed to further aid the Markethouse Café in being a deli for any time of day. A large wooden sign near the door asked customers to “Keep Knoxville Scruffy,” while others instructed them to “order here” and then “recycle here.” The hall leading to the restrooms is lined with various brochures and pamphlets on downtown Knoxville (which made much more sense once I realized the café doubled as a visitor center). When I returned to our seats, my food had
already arrived and it didn’t take me long to polish off my sandwich once I had my first bite. This was a reuben with a spicy kick to it, but I never could quite put my finger on what it was in the house-made dressing that did the trick. My unusual juice also took me by surprise. Honestly, the surprise being that I didn’t hate it. The ingredients seemed to be mixed in the right proportion that you could actually taste all three but the earthiness of the beet and carrot mellowed out the apple’s sweetness. After I had nearly finished my meal, I learned that the owner, Scott West, had been sitting back near the bar enjoying a beer with his wife and a friend. He introduced himself and explained the café’s concept to me, offered to buy my companion and I another sandwich and returned to his table after ensuring I understood the benefits of supporting local businesses and restaurants. Even without West’s personal endorsement, I will be sure to return. Market House Café might just be here to stay on that corner of Market Square.

Traveling artist turns snacks, turns into masterpieces Danni Ha
Contributor
What comes to mind when you think about bread and crackers? They may simply be snack foods that you purchase, eat and give no more thought to, but this is not the case for artist Dominic Terlizzi. Terlizzi, who makes mosaic paintings from acrylic paint cast in object molds, actually uses bread and crackers as objects of his work. “Some of the breads used are homemade from a family recipe that traveled with my grandfather to the USA,� Terlizzi said. Terlizzi is from Baltimore and after traveling to New York, Korea, China and many other places to develop, present and teach his art, he is now here at UT this semester as an artist in residence. The same snack foods we see as just bread and crackers hold much more meaning and value to Terlizzi as an artist. “Color is a big part of the equation and so is texture. It becomes a very synesthetic visual experience where color language overlays texture and
the memory of flavor, or sound. The crackers and breads are a base cultural signifier,� Terlizzi said. “These textures ground me as the maker in a space that reaches beyond the history of paint. Vibrantly mixed color allows a temporal, consumptive moment, to occupy a permanent space with high art.� Sangram Majumdar, Terlizzi’s colleague and fellow artist who has worked alongside him for almost ten years, explained how Terlizzi’s unique approach to art translated to his classroom interaction. “In the studio we speak often about process, being critical and he loves to play the Devil’s advocate,� Majumdar said. “Above all, humor plays a large role in our studio and classroom interactions as a device to frame a conversation and find links between divergent thinking, artistic practices and aesthetic arenas.� According to Majumdar, this unconventionality extends to Terlizzi’s exhibits as well, recalling a time that the two artists filled a gallery with close to 100 helium balloons that they had covered with drawings. “The project was a way to honor the idiosyncracies in our work and also find a common ground that we can celebrate, which happens to be drawing,�

Majumdar said. Although Terlizzi has not yet had the chance to begin a significant amount of work here at UT, he is still able to share some of his most recent work at his upcoming lecture here on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am particularly excited to share two huge mosaic tapestry works that I recently completed. I will also have a few large acrylic mosaics on canvas and several small acrylic mosaics on canvas,â&#x20AC;? Terlizzi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To finish it out there are two bronze statues that relate to the origins of these paintings.â&#x20AC;? At his lecture, Terlizzi plans to get personal with his audience as he shares stories and significant moments in his life. He hopes that giving his audience the opportunity to understand him will allow them to better understand his art as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the audience will realize my work is about what we can share, and places we come from. I am looking forward to having a conversation about what the work does,â&#x20AC;? Terlizzi said. When asked what he believes is the best part of creating art, Terlizzi said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe creating art is a social act. Therefore, the greatest thing art can do, and arguably the best part of creating art, is to share.â&#x20AC;?

Even the hardest days get better
Adam Weatherell Dreaming of Dolly
Do you ever stretch out of bed on Saturday, have two cups of coffee, three Netflix episodes and one steamy bowel movement, all before you scrounge up the energy to speak? Then, after making the move to speak, realize the previous night’s doings have robbed you of your voice? Well, at least for me, that happened this past weekend, and though I can’t be sure, somewhere in a snow-flurried fizzle of a memory there was a disappointing amount of white snow, but an abundance of white Russians, a karaoke machine and My Chemical Romance. I’ll admit it: I once owned a studded belt, shopped at Hot Topic un-ironically and knew all the words/ Guitar Hero Chords to every track on “Welcome to the Black Parade,” and as much as I would like to shun the 2007 Adam with the Target brand Chuck Taylors and the bandana pasted to my forehead, I’ll be darned if that person didn’t play a pivotal role in who I am today. Now, whenever I find MCR resurfacing, I can’t help but be filled once again with the primordial rage that came to characterize my middle school, but it can now come with a greater capacity for emotional awareness. I can scream all the words to “I’m Not Okay,” but the truth is that I am okay. I remember not being okay, and I remember when those words held such visceral truth, but now it’s just kind of fun to allow

Why it’s okay to not know
Emily Moore Day to Day
Raise your hand if you have very little clue about what you’re doing with your life, the future or what you’re even going to eat for lunch really (Okay now put your hand down, you look like a fool reading this with your hand in the air). I believe most college students I have met would agree that they feel about the same. For those lucky few who have known what they wanted to do since they could comprehend the world around them, you’re killin’ this whole life thing. Go on with your bad self. For those of you who are like me and become terrified when people ask you what you are doing next week, much less what you want to do when you graduate, bear with me. Around the age of 18, we graduate high school. High school is advertised to be a stepping stone, a place where more responsibility is handed to you as you transition into becoming a young adult. It’s a place where every move you make is monitored for seven hours five days of the week. Where someone reassures you that everything is okay if you mess up and that there will be a makeup exam and homework. It’s a safe little bubble from the reality where if you miss a day, it isn’t the end of the world. So, naturally, moving away from home and coming to college was a huge shock and the complete opposite. High school does not prepare you in the least for
college and realizing that can make one a little bitter at times. How could it be expected of us to become responsible adults when merely two months ago we had to raise our hands and ask to use the bathroom? Now, thinking back, I am kind of grateful for the nowarning-you’re-on-your-own-good-luck hand that we are dealt. If anything, that alone has taught me a lot. The fact of the matter is this: nothing is going to prepare you for the “real world.” No one is going to hold your hand the entire way and help you figure out who you are, what you should do or what happens next. Thinking back about my younger self, I thought by the time I had reached the old decrepit age of 20 I would have published at least three national bestselling novels, won at least one Nobel Prize and I don’t know, be ruler of the world. I mean at the very least I expected to have things figured out. Yet as I was sitting in a class I hated whilst rethinking my entire major, I came to a conclusion that that was the funniest joke in the history of ever. Of course I barely have an idea as to what I want to do with myself—I am only 20 after all. Even though that can be a terrifying thought, it’s also sort of amazing. College is the place where you’re supposed to be figuring all of these things out, not sitting at home and fretting because you aren’t sure. Take classes that spark your interest and talk to
VIEWPOINTS my own shoes. They’re better than Target. I.e., I’ve become better than Target. Any given day, there are myriads of opportunities for growth and most of them go unnoticed. I’m sure that I’ve grown, and in many ways I know it’s true but in the banality of my day-to-day academic struggles, I rarely take pause to recount on that growth. How great is it that MCR could pull me from the life I lead to remind me of the life I lead. 2007 was a strange year for me, as I am sure seventh grade is for all my friends whose cystic acne didn’t clear up until ninth grade, but I overcame it. I saw a therapist, took some Accutane and started listening to the Beach Boys. As I head into the final semesters of my college career, I know I’ll be sure to face slaps of nostalgia like I did this past weekend. I also know that I am equipped for what lies ahead of me. It’s also affirming that all my college friends know the words to “I’m Not Okay” as well. So though I may be headed into this coming week with a smidge of a headache and without a recognizable voice, I do so with an inward chuckle and better shoes. I’m okay, trust me. Go Vols.

people who have majors that you could see yourself pursuing a career in. Explore your options. Be picky as hell. Settle for nothing but the best. Whatever you do, don’t let anyone pressure you into a major that isn’t something you’re absolutely wild about. Think about it first. And don’t ever be afraid to try something new. College, I believe, gives us a better view on what the world will be like when we graduate. In the same breath, a lot of things will change and I have no doubt I will feel unprepared at times. There is no class that teaches you how to live correctly, become wildly successful and find happiness all in one semester. Yet for every moment you spend fretting and worrying about what comes next, life merely sends a curve ball your way and proceeds to laugh. In the end, things have a way of working themselves out one way or another. So why worry? All you can do is give it your best shot, which is exactly what I encourage you to do. I am a 20-year-old college student fumbling through life one day at a time as clumsily as possible alongside of millions of other students who feel the exact same way. And that’s okay.

TRACK & FIELD
Track and Field team surging in national polls after strong performances Shane Switzer
Staff Writer The beginning of the New Year signals many things, one such thing is the beginning of another track and field season. Tennessee kicked off its indoor season Jan. 9 at the Indiana Duel in Bloomington, Indiana. The men’s side fell to the Hoosiers 66-47 while the women tied with a score of 61-61. The men posted seven wins with sophomore Christian Coleman winning the 60 meter dash and AllAmerican pole vaulter Jake Blankenship making his season debut and winning his event with a vault of 5.45 meters. The women also posted seven wins at Indiana with transfer Kali Davis-White winning the 60 meter dash and senior Felicia Brown coming out on top in the 200 meter. More recently, Tennessee and Auburn cohosted the Conference Clash which paired eight of the SEC teams against eight teams from
the other Power Five conferences. Some of those included the traditional track power house University of Southern California, the University of Texas at Austin and Ohio State University. The meet was held in Birmingham, Alabama, which will also host this year’s NCAA Indoor National Championships in March. The men finished with 13 top five finishes while the women earned 15 top five finishes during the two days of competition. Second-year head coach Beth Alford-Sullivan said that it was a good event to see where Tennessee stacks up with some of the SEC teams. She said with the other Power Five teams being there, it had an “us versus them” feel to it. “It was cool that the men won,” AlfordSullivan said. “They were trailing most of the meet until about midway through the second day. Once we hit our stride in the events on the track on Saturday we really started to pull away.” With such a marquee event early in the season, Alford-Sullivan said it keeps everyone on their toes and that they will be able to apply
what they learned moving forward this season. As a result of Tennessee’s strong showing during the conference clash, both sides of the team, men and women, surged in the polls. The men are now No. 8 in the country while the women jumped 20 spots to No. 12 in the nation. Leading the surge in the polls are Colemen, Blankenship and Cameron Brown for the men and Felicia Brown, Davis-White and Chelsea Blaase for the women. Each is ranked in the nation’s top 10 in their respective events. Austin Whitelaw also aided in the jump for the men with a win and career best time of 8:05.59 in the 3000 meters. The men’s Distance Medley Relay team is currently No. 6 in the nation as well and the women’s 4x400m relay is No. 4 in the country. It has been the newcomers such as freshman Ari Cogdell and junior transfer Kali Davis-White mixed with veterans on the track team that have given resurgence to the Tennessee track program. Cogdell was named SEC Freshman of the Week earlier in the season while Davis-
White has the nation’s second best 200 meter time, behind her teammate Felicia Brown. With Brown’s No. 1 time in the 200 meter, she was just named the SEC Women’s Runner of the Week. Meanwhile veterans like Blankenship, Blaase and Whitelaw continue to provide solid performances and rank among top best in the SEC and country. “You see some of the freshman impacting on the relays and a little deeper in some of the other events,” Alford-Sullivan said. “To be honest with you, it’s a good sign, it’s very difficult to crack the code as a freshman but Ari (Cogdell) is certainly putting it together. Layla White is also having a great freshman campaign so far and Lenysse Dyer is running very well.” Next up for the Vols will be the Vanderbilt Invitation which is a two day meet starting on Friday, Jan. 29. Tennessee however, will only be sending a small selection of the team with the majority staying in Knoxville for rest and recuperation. The next major track meet for the Vols will be at Virginia Tech in February.

Warlick remains focused on Bulldogs in midst of slow start Trenton Duffer Copy Editor
Even though the Lady Vols haven’t had seven losses through their first 19 games since the 1984-85 season, head coach Holly Warlick possessed a calm demeanor when she talked to reporters after Wednesday’s practice. “We’ve gotta come out of the huddle ready to play and, for whatever reason, we’ve been in a little lull,” Warlick said. “I think (the players) recognize it. We’ve been really bad the second and third quarters, but we did really good in the second quarter against Kentucky. We’ve just got to clean that other quarter up.” The Lady Vols (12-7, 3-3 SEC) are coming off a rocky 64-63 loss to the No. 12 Kentucky Wildcats on Monday. Tennessee outscored the Wildcats in the first, second and fourth quarter, but Kentucky’s 21-9 scoring outburst in the third sealed the deal for the Wildcats late as freshman Te’a Cooper struggled to get off a final buzzer-beating shot in the waning seconds of the fourth
quarter. The loss, coupled with two other losses from the unranked Florida Gators and the 9-11 Arkansas Razorbacks, have left the Lady Vols tied for seventh in the SEC standings with Vanderbilt — a location that the coaching staff and fans alike aren’t too happy with. Now the Lady Vols have No. 13 Mississippi State on their radar – a team that the Lady Vols are currently 16-0 against in Starksville and 35-0 against all-time. Warlick said that her team understands what’s at stake against the Bulldogs on Thursday (TV: SEC Network, 9 p.m. ET) “It’s out there. We bring it up, and I’m sure it’s a motivation for both teams,” the fourth-year coach said. “You can’t hide from it. You just put it out there. If it’s going to motivate us, that’s great.” “It just comes down to this group at this time on this night. We gotta play. We gotta play whatever the record is, and we’ve just gotta get the job done.” The Bulldogs are enjoying one of the best seasons in their history. Victoria Vivians, who averaged 14.9 points per game last year, has increased her total to 17.7 this

year, which is good enough to lead the SEC. Vivians’ shooting has propelled the Bulldogs to 75.6 points per game, which is third in the conference.
However, Mississippi State’s (17-4, 4-3 SEC) rebounding is what really drives the team. The Bulldogs have pulled in 807 rebounds this year, including 362 offensive rebounds. Both lead the SEC. “They’re not so much pressing, but they’re denying. They have great ball pressure,” Warlick said. “They want to disrupt. They want to be able to score off their defense, and they do a great job. They play hard. They play extremely hard.” Injury Report: Diamond DeShields, who tweaked her ankle a bit in Tuesday’s team practice, will be “ready to play” against the Bulldogs, according to Holly Warlick. Jasmine Jones, who is suffering from a head injury she sustained earlier in the year, is still out indefinitely. “We’re just concerned with Jasmine’s health, and we’re not going to push the issue,” Warlick said. “(The medical staff) aren’t ready for her to be back out on the court yet.” Warlick continued to say that Jones hasn’t yet been ruled out for the remainder of the season and that she will check back with the medical staff in a couple of weeks for an update.
