1,100 silently march in Market Square Chris Salvemini News Editor
More than 1,100 people gathered in Market Square on Wednesday, Feb. 1, in response to President Trump’s executive order that restricted refugees and visa and green card holders from entering the U.S. The executive order signed on Jan. 27 barred citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Sudan from entering the country. It also temporarily stopped the refugee program in the U.S. for 120 days and brought the number of refugees allowed entry into the U.S. down to 50,000 from 110,000. Marchers started by gathering in the square as organizers asked attendees for a moment of silence for immigrants who could not enter the U.S. Afterwards, the marchers filed through Wall Avenue on the north end of Market Square and walked down Gay Street before turning onto Main Street and gathering in front of the Knox County General Sessions building. “I’m just here to show my support for those who are refugees, who are immigrants, those who are green card holders or approved visa holders who are being detained and sent away from our country. I’m here to support our refugee community,” Michelle Long, a marcher, said. People carried signs reading “Stop war not people. Save the Syrian refugees,” and “Love Trumps hate.” Few, if any, counter-protesters showed up during the demonstration. “I think more things like this are crucial. I also think we need to organize. We need organize our communities and other communities around us,” David Hayes, a marcher, said. See MARCH on Page 3

Haslam promises community college for all Staff Report
On Monday, during his state of the state address, Gov. Bill Haslam introduced a program that will allow all adults to go to community college for free. The Tennessee Reconnect is similar to the Tennessee Promise. Introduced in 2014, the Tennessee Promise provides last-dollar scholarships to high school seniors entering into community college. Haslam’s new proposal will offer the same program to adults as well. “I am proposing that Tennessee become the first state in the nation to offer all adults access to community college free of tuition and fees. Just like the Tennessee Promise, Tennessee Reconnect will provide last-dollar scholarships for adult learners to attend one of our community colleges for free — and at no cost to the state’s General Fund,” Haslam said from a prepared transcript published on tn.gov. In the address, he did not give many details about the requirements to be accepted in the program, but he did make very clear that everyone would be allowed to attend. “No caps. No first come, first served. All. Just as we did with Tennessee Promise, we’re making a clear statement to families with Reconnect: wherever you might fall on life’s path, education beyond high school is critical to the Tennessee we can be,” Haslam said.
Wherever you might fall on life’s path, education beyond high school is critical to the Tennessee we can be.”
Along with announcing Reconnect, Haslam also proposed the Tennessee STRONG Act, which will give Tennessee National Guard members tuition-free attendance to public universities and colleges. Haslam said he was inspired by the service he has seen the National Guard do this year. “I’ve had the chance to personally witness Tennessee’s National Guard in action, whether it’s in Afghanistan or Gatlinburg or McMinn County, helping those communities recover from devastating tragedy,” Haslam said. “If we can help our soldiers and airmen who protect us at home and abroad, I know you agree we should do it.” Haslam addressed those who wonder why his governorship has been intently focused on education by explaining what a college degree meant to his family. “I know firsthand what a college degree can mean to someone, specifically someone who is the first in their family to go to college. My dad was the first in his family to attend college and get his degree, and the trajectory of his life — and mine — was changed forever,” Haslam said.
Bill Haslam, governor Haslam also discussed the highly controversial gas tax that would add a 7-centper-gallon tax increase to fix and rebuild infrastructure. It would be the first time Tennessee’s gas tax has been raised since the ‘80s. “I know that some of you have said that you’re never going to hit the green button for any kind of tax increase. I understand. I would rather not address this either,” Haslam said. “But imagine what kind of Tennessee we would be if two different governors and two different general assemblies did not have the foresight to address our infrastructure needs back in the ‘80s. Without them, many of the roads we now take for granted and hundreds of thousands of jobs wouldn’t be here.” Haslam proposed increasing broadband access to rural areas by investing at least $15 million in grants every year to increase development. “If we’re serious about putting our rural counties on a level playing field, then opening up broadband access is one of the largest steps forward we can take,” Haslam said.
UT Students to help with camp for disabled children Courtney Ferrell Contributor Forty years ago, a UT faculty member started Camp Koinonia in Crossville, Tennessee. Every summer since then, students at UT have been volunteering their time to attend. Koinonia is Greek for “fellowship and caring community.” It is for children ages 7-21 who have various intellectual and developmental disabilities. UT students who attend camp Koinonia typically go through the recreation/sports management 326 course to gain training and skills to help with the disabled children, eventually leading to students attending the camp. Angela Wozencroft, associate professor of therapeutic recreation, serves as the program director for Camp Koinonia and other various camps that UT is involved
in. She also helps to oversee some of the graduate students who have been to the camp as staff. Students who participate in the camp serve as counselors, head counselors and activities staff. The students who become staff work with the children on a one-onone basis, helping with everything from basic tasks, such as personal hygiene, to recreational activities like horseback riding, ziplining and sports. The camp accepts students in any major who are interested in attending. “Regardless of what profession you go into or career, there is no doubt that you’re going to come across someone with a disability,” Wozencraft said. “Having that cultural competence, that compassion and knowing how to work with someone with a disability is a wonderful thing for everyone involved.” Children at the camp build a relationship with the student staff members that does
not end once the week of camp is over. It is common for students to celebrate birthdays and holidays with the child or meet up with them for lunch. Anna Ross Palmer, a graduate student in sports management and therapeutic recreation, attended the camp as a peer counselor and now oversees other peer counselors. “We really like to focus on abilities and not disabilities,” Palmer said. Because of the success of the camp, there is also a Koinonia Retreat every fall that serves the people who wanted to continue in the camp but aged out. And, financial assistance is offered to families who may not have the means to send their child to the camp. “When we are at camp, the spirit is of inclusion. Everyone is on the same level, everyone is equal,” Ashley Bordenet, graduate student in recreation and sports management, said.

MARCH continued from Page 1 The march was organized by Bridge Refugee Services, and Patricia Robledo, the Knoxville business liaison, attended the march on behalf of Mayor Madeline Rogero. “We are now working with other mayors and cities across the country to keep track of everything we are hearing out of Washington so that we can be prepared to respond together as needed,” Robledo said to the crowd in Market Square. “In the meantime, please know that our mayor and our administration will continue to do everything we can to provide resources and outreach for immigrants and refugees. We are happy to have you all in Knoxville.” Once the march reached the General Sessions Building, the crowd broke their silence to chant “this is what democracy looks

like,” and “Power. Transformation. Miracles. I want it. I need it. I got to have it,” among other popular chants. The crowd then recited “The New Colossus,” the poem inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty. A delegation of representatives from Bridge Refugee Services, accompanied by Yassin Terou, owner of Yassin’s Falafel House, then went into the offices of John Duncan Jr., Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker to deliver letters of concern as the crowd returned to Market Square. “I think it’s going to be a very tumultuous time, that could be tumultuous in a bunch of different ways, but I also have seen lots of actions and lots of protests that have been largely peaceful and largely for the right reasons,” Jon Coffee, a marcher and Minister of Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, said. “It gives me a lot of hope for the future. No matter what may come, no matter how dark it may get, there’s still going to be a lot of light in the world.”
Vols star receiver Jennings cited on drug possession Staff Report After a non-dramatic National Signing Day, the University of Tennessee football program was thrown a curveball late Wednesday evening, Feb. 1. According to multiple reports and court records, Vols wide receiver Jauan Jennings was booked into jail on Wednesday because of a misdemeanor drug possession citation. These records show that the charges took place on James Agee Street around 1 a.m. on the morning of Jan. 15. Jennings was
then scheduled for a citation booking early Wednesday morning followed by an arraignment later that morning. Jennings recently finished a stellar sophomore season that included 40 catches for 580 yards and seven touchdowns. In the UT-Georgia game on Oct. 1, the Murfressboro, Tennessee, native caught the game-winning Hail Mary pass with no time left on the clock to give the Vols the 34-31 win over the Bulldogs. More updates will be provided once they become available.

Vols finish ‘least dramatic’ Signing Day Trenton Duffer
Sports Editor Vols head coach Butch Jones said it best. Tennessee’s National Signing Day was just not dramatic. “This was probably the least drama we’ve ever had on Signing Day,� Jones said in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. “We finished the earliest we’ve ever finished.� By noon, Jones had announced that Will Ignont, who signed around 11:30 a.m. this morning, was the final addition to the Vols’ 2017 class. Jones said that he and his staff walked away from NSD with a good mindset. “I think this is probably, overall, the most positive year that we’ve had in recruiting,� Jones said. “Every high school that I went to, whatever state it was, whether it be the principal or the high school football coach or the athletic director, they came out saying, ‘Wow. Tennessee’s back.’� All in all, the Vols added 22 new players on Wednesday, whether as a recruit or a preferred walk-on, to join the five they already had on-campus. Different media outlets reported different rankings of these players. According to Rivals, the Vols brought in nine fourstar recruits and 18 three-star recruits; however, ESPN announced that Tennessee brought in 20 three-star’s, six four-star’s and a five-star — ESPN’s No. 1 overall player, offensive lineman Trey Smith.
“He’s the most grounded person we’ve recruited that’s been in a spotlight like that,â€? Vols offensive line coach Don Mahoney said on Wednesday night. “He’s just a humble guy who just wants to be good.â€? Smith, however, was already on-campus by the time NSD rolled around, so the celebration of his signing had already concluded. And, after having back-to-back years of top-10 recruiting classes in 2014-15 and a No. 14 ranking on ESPN and No. 15 ranking on Rivals in 2016, the Vols seemed poised for a star batch of recruits in 2017. According to ESPN, the Vols pulled in 18 four-star recruits in 2014 and 2015 and 15 four-star’s in 2016. Rivals was almost as generous, dishing out two five-star’s and 16 four-star’s in 2014, four five-star’s and 13 four-star’s in 2015 and one five-star and 10 four-star’s in 2016. Compared to the 2017 totals, it looks, on paper, like the Vols downgraded. But, Jones and his staff aren’t ready to count out his group of prospects just yet, even though ESPN and Rivals ranked the Vols 2017 class 15th. “I want to guard against (overhyping) this class,â€? Jones said. “I think it’s unfair to put any expectations on them at this point in time. As we all know, each individual develops differently at their own stage ‌ We thought that we were able to address the depth concerns that we’ve had there in our program in the offensive and defensive lines, and also in the special team game.â€? Nonetheless, certain positions were
I think this is probably, overall, the most positive year that we’ve had in recruiting.� Butch Jones, head coach
mentioned by Jones as needing the most holes patched. “There was a number of needs in this class, and obviously, it starts up front with the offensive line,� Jones said as he mentioned the caliber of Smith and Riley Locklear. “These are individuals that already have strength coming in, and then having them here for spring football I think will pay dividends for them and for our football program.� Also helping out on offense is one of the top running backs in this year’s class — Montgomery Bell Academy’s Ty Chandler. Chandler was a four-star recruit who committed Aug. 14, 2016. Watching tape of Chandler shows an ability to break tackles and run through players while also turning up-field to burn slow defenders. But, Chandler wasn’t the only running back who joined the team, with three-star prospects Tim Jordan and Trey Coleman joining in as well. “When you’re taking three running backs, you want to make sure that they have versatility and that their skill sets complement each other,� Jones said. Jones compared Jordan to John Kelly
while calling Coleman a “bruising back.� However, Jones also mentioned the strength of the defensive line, as the Vols added a handful of defensive ends and tackles to add depth to a group that lost All-American Derek Barnett, LaTroy Lewis and Corey Vereen to the NFL Draft. DeAndre Johnson, Matthew Butler, Ryan Thaxton and Eric Crosby were all mentioned by Jones as being “playmakers,� and the fifth-year head coach even described the upgrade to the special teams unit. “When you look at it, we’ve talked about the defensive front, but it was imperative that we take care of special teams with the kicker of the future,� Jones said. “With Brent Cimaglia, we thought we were able to do that as well.� With National Signing Day wrapped up and an entire offseason to prepare the prospects, Jones addressed another issue — his coaching staff. “Today is about Signing Day,� Jones said. “We’ll see. It’s all a part of the evaluation process and stepping away from recruiting. As we always do, we’ll continue to reevaluate our football program.�

Front Row Review: moe. enchants, disinterests after lengthy performance Megan Patterson Managing Editor For a sold out show, moe.’s Tuesday night performance at the Bijou opened to a fairly sparse crowd. This set the tone for the casual, festival-vibe night as audience members slowly drifted in throughout the band’s opening set, which lasted about 20 minutes. In classic jam band style, moe. seamlessly pulled us from one song to the next until three songs had passed and they finally stopped for breath, only to say “thank you” and resume playing. Since 1989, moe. has established itself as one of the great jam bands, alongside Phish and Grateful Dead. As a result, many long-time fans, called “moe.rons,” seemed to be in attendance Tuesday night. Although I can’t count myself among them, they certainly put the entire crowd at ease by giving the impression we were all friends at a house party, mingling across aisles and chatting casually between songs. The band
itself also reflected this approachable attitude, donning strictly t-shirts and taking time between songs to tune their instruments, sip a beer or even towel off. The band clearly catered to these long time fans, playing songs it felt like the entire theatre sang along to, including their 1998 hit “Nebraska.” But, what the audience responded to more than the songs was the musicians’ creativity and casual mastery of their instruments. At one point, Chuck Garvey, one of the band’s two guitarists, sang along with his guitar solo into a synth mic, making that the most relatable guitar solo I have ever seen. And, if you’ve never heard an audience whistle at a xylophone solo, you need to see moe.’s percussionist on stage. However, the night came to an abrupt halt when moe. left the stage for an intermission. Although I have never been to a rock concert with an intermission before, I don’t know what else to call the half hour that they stepped off stage, leaving most of the crowd to drift outside for a smoke and the rest of us to sit and contemplate when they would come back. When the band returned the mood was
Rob Derhak, bassist and vocalist (right) and Al Schnier, lead guitarist and vocalist (left), play at the Bijou Theatre. Matthew Young • The Daily Beacon noticeably less energetic and the crowd had visibly thinned, albeit the theatre remained crowded. While the band strolled across stage tuning their instruments, the crowd yelled out requests. Then the show went on. And on. While I was intrigued, drawn in and then entranced for the first hour of moe.’s perfor-
mance, the 30 minute interlude before their extended encore cost them my prolonged interest. moe.’s Bijou performance delivered to it’s long-time fans, but those may have been the only audience members to make it to the end of the night.

Staff Writer Waynestock, the annual music festival created in memory of local musician Andrew Bledsoe, will host its 7th annual celebration on Feb. 3-4. This year’s proceeds will benefit the Pilot Light, an Old City music venue that achieved its nonprofit status in late 2016. In addition to raising money for local organizations like the Pilot Light, Waynestock showcases Knoxville’s local talent, giving acts of all genres a chance to perform for the community and for charity. This year’s lineup includes Electric Darling, Guy Marshall, Billy Widgets, Exit 65 and Andrew Leahey and the Homestead. “We’ve done a lot of shows and festivals in Knoxville over the past two years, Blank Fest, Rhythm N’ Blooms, Tennessee Shines, etc. But this is our first Waynestock,” Andrew Leahey of Andrew Leahey and the Homestead said. “Hopefully it won’t be our last.” This year’s beneficiary, The Pilot Light, has been a stepping stone for local and international acts for more than 16 years, hosting worldfamous bands like Deerhunter, Bear Hands and Bon Iver. “The Pilot Light is such a fun place to be,” Benny Smith, general manager of WUTK, said. “Everyone is always smiling. It’s a great environment and a great start for local groups to play and get their name out there.” The Pilot Light’s reputation has established it as a staple in Old City and beyond. “The Pilot Light is completely focused on music, and that’s why it exists,” Leahey said.
“People go to the Pilot Light because they want to watch music, and they want to be surrounded by other people who want to watch music. It was an honor playing that room at Rhythm N’ Blooms 2015, and it’ll be an honor to support its continued existence at Waynestock VII.” Waynestock gets its name from Wayne Bledsoe, a well-known music writer and radio host in the Knoxville area, but the festival was originally created to honor his son Andrew, who passed away suddenly in 2010 at the age of 23. Andrew was the former lead vocalist for local bands Psychotic Behavior and HumanFuse and was a close friend to many members of the Knoxville music scene, much like his father. The first Waynestock was such a hit that it was brought back a second time, this time benefitting the family of the late Phil Pollard, another beloved member of the Knoxville music community. Now, Waynestock has become an annual festival that benefits a number of local organizations. WUTK 90.3 The Rock was a beneficiary in the past, and Smith has both a professional and personal history with the Bledsoe family. “Wayne has been really supportive of me over the many years we’ve known each other, both personally and professionally,” Smith said. “I became a single parent shortly after Wayne did, so he helped me a lot through that time and has done a lot for WUTK as well.” WUTK still keeps Andrew Bledsoe’s songs on rotation for listeners to hear. Admission to Waynestock is $5 each night and raffle tickets for special prizes can also be purchased. For more information, visit waynestock.org or visit The Pilot Light on Facebook.
Staff Writer Ezra Tessler, the UT Painting and Drawing Department’s newest artist-in-residence, will host a lecture Thursday, Feb. 2. Tessler creates art that simultaneously represents stillness and movement, mixing twoand three-dimensional displays that intend to move the viewer. “For my new works, for example, it is difficult to see the entire painting at one time, so the viewer has to walk around the painting to see the entire surface,” Tessler said. The lecture will focus on Tessler’s studio work as well as how painting and drawing are influenced by current events. He also wants to hear the opinions and personal experiences of his audience members. “I want to ask some questions I’ve been thinking about recently in the studio,” Tessler said. “For example, what should we demand of painting today?” He also plans to ask questions about the relationship between painting and the larger political issues going on in the world. Tessler said his interactive and empathetic approach to his work stems from his passion for human rights and social justice. Along with his family, his dog and his new friends and surroundings here in Tennessee, he also draws inspiration from the work of people at organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union, the International Refugee Assistance Project and the National Immigration Law Center. His goal is to chal-
lenge his viewers to adjust their perspectives and experience art in more than one way. “Considering ideas of empathy, what might happen when we have to move our own bodies in order to address others who may or may not be different from ourselves?” Tessler said. Founded in 1982, the artist-in-residence program supports two semester-long residencies each academic year. It gives artists a chance to teach, sometimes for the very first time, and allows them to create new work in a different setting than what they’re used to. Every other year, two members of the painting and drawing faculty visit a major art center around the country and do a series of studio visits with potential candidates for the program. “Ezra was one of the artists that my colleagues Joshua Bienko and Karla Wozniak visited with,” Jered Sprecher, an associate professor in painting and drawing, said. “The inventiveness of his work and his investment in mentoring young artists were major factors in the faculty asking Ezra Tessler to spend the spring semester here in Knoxville.” The artist-in-residence opportunity gives both the artist and the students exposure to new concepts, techniques and perspectives. “Stepping away from my everyday life in New York, getting to meet UTK’s faculty and working closely with its undergraduate and graduate students will certainly influence my work,” Tessler said. Tessler’s lecture will begin on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in A&A, Room 109 McCarty Auditorium.
