WE STAND UP FOR DIVERSITY FUNDING In 2012, UT students organized a week of sexual awareness and education events. After outrage and funding cuts from legislators, the Sex Week organizers were officially condemned by the state government. In 2015, UT’s Office of Diversity sent out an email to raise awareness of gender-neutral pronouns. Later in 2015, a post on the Office of Diversity’s webpage that alerted students and faculty to be conscious of religions beyond just Christianity during the holiday season was the last straw for the state legislature. In light of these posts, angry legislators threatened to cut diversity funding at UT. And those threats are now a reality. On Wednesday, March 2, the state legislators voted to amend the university’s budget and reallocate funds intended for the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to UT agricultural extension services and rural outreach through the UT campuses in Chattanooga and Martin. The amendment passed unanimously. Both Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and UT System President Joe DiPietro have stated their discontent with the amendment and reaffirmed their commitment to improving diversity at the university. “Diversity is more than a social concept,” the email read. “It’s an important aspect of the academic experience and our effective operations. It’s about improving access, opportunity and engagement as we seek to prepare all of our students to live and work in a diverse global society filled with differing ideas, cultures, opinions and approaches to life.” The amendment also reads, “only federal funds shall be expended to support the Office for Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.” The problem is that UT’s Office for Diversity and Inclusion receives zero federal funding, according to Chancellor Cheek and President DiPietro in an email to the university Thursday after-
noon. “The amendment’s intent is clear and concerning. It is also important to note that the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at UT Knoxville receives no federal funding,” the email pointed out. The Daily Beacon took a stance against the state’s attack on diversity last semester, and we are doing so again. The Daily Beacon officially admonishes the Tennessee state legislature for its attack on this campus’s diversity initiatives. UT students and faculty are trying to make strides in the right direction to improve diversity and inclusion on a campus that desperately needs those funds. And those who do not work, live and learn on this campus do not have the right to dictate the opportunities for those of us that do. A university should respond to the wants and expectations of its students, not to its state politicians. Students, faculty and staff at UT want a more inclusive campus environment, and their outrage deserves to be heard and acknowledged. The amended budget still needs to be approved by UT’s Board of Trustees in April, and The Daily Beacon hopes they will consider what is best for UT’s students — not politicians looking for reelection.

FENCING

Fencing club provides students with mental competition Cherie Smith
Contributor For most people, fencing is just another one of the various sports featured in the Summer Olympics. Fencing is also popular in medieval fantasy shows and movies, where the heroes defeat the villains. However, for some, the fantasy comes to life when they come to The Bubble on Tuesday and Thursday nights to take part in the UT Fencing Club. “A lot of my schools in my high school district had fencing, but we weren’t one of them. I’ve always wanted to do it and just assumed (UT) had a club,” said freshmen team member Paul Kline. “So when RecFest happened, they had fencing there, and I wanted to do it.”
Founded in 1970 and one of the oldest collegiate clubs on campus, the fencing club offers three different disciplines to members. Those include foil (played in shoulder length metal vest), saber and epee, the most common discipline used among members of the club. With fencing being an individual sport, members can go at their own pace and be as competitive as they want to be. “UT’s club is really good for people who don’t want to kill themselves working out,” said Daniel Morrell, who has been with the club since 2009. “It’s a nice workout for everybody and have the opportunity to be competitive and not forced to be competitive if they don’t want to. To test themselves against other fencers, the UT Fencing Club participates in different competitions around the country throughout the year. From Atlanta and
the Carolinas to the Collegiate Fencing Championship in Rhode Island later this year, fencing competitions are all day and all weekend affairs. Set up in a single bracket elimination style, fencers are placed in a pool where they fight against each other to be seeded, and once a fencer loses, he or she is eliminated. Though a fencer may have a great day and advance all the way to the top, a loss is a chance to learn from mistakes, as described by junior member Katie Keirstead. “It’s shown in studies to be really good as mental exercises, because fencing is just as much mental as physical,” Keirstead said. “There’s a reason why we call it mental chess.” With members having the opportunity to fence at their own speed, the sport allows students to enhance their mental skills as well as their physical.
As all sports clubs provide a familytype atmosphere that can produce life-long friends, the UT Fencing Club allows members to focus on individual goals, while making friends at the same time. “It has been really nice because it has stuck you in a social mood. There’s a joke in the team, where it’s once you join the fencing club, you don’t have any other friends just because it takes up so much of your time in a good way. Even when it’s not practice, you just don’t whip other fencers. So, it’s nice to throw you in a social group in a nice way,” Kline said. Though fencing may not be as has hardhitting as football, the sport allows students to tap more into their mental fitness, trying to outsmart their opponent and be one step ahead of them at all times.

Lady Vols cruise past Arkansas in first round 68-51 Trenton Duffer Copy Editor
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- As the Lady Vols warmed up for Thursday’s second round matchup against Arkansas, a cool, collective feeling seemed to be over the team. The Lady Vols would channel that pre-game Zen to cruise past the Razorbacks 68-51 and win their 23rd-straight SEC Tournament opener. “We focused on just having fun,” said senior Bashaara Graves after the win. “In the Georgia game, we had so much fun while we were playing. I don’t think that in the other games we had much fun while we were playing.” Tennessee (18-12, 9-8 SEC) seemed to have control of the game from the tip-off, as the Lady Vols didn’t trail the entire game. Tennessee held a 37-22 lead after the first half. The team’s ability to share the basketball translated into 11 assists and a 16-6 advantage on points in the paint. The second half showed a steady barrage of
points for the Lady Vols, as the team put up 31 to keep the Hogs down. The Lady Vols finished with 10 turnovers, their second lowest amount of the year and their lowest since Dec. 15 against Oregon State. The team had only nine turnovers in that matchup against the Beavers. Coach Holly Warlick was pleased with her team’s ability to limit the giveaways. “When we keep the game within 10 turnovers, great things have happened for us,” Warlick said. “We’ve really worked hard on limiting our turnovers.” The Razorbacks’ (12-18, 7-10) leading scorer Jessica Jackson entered Thursday’s game averaging 16.6 points per game and shooting 41.3 percent from the field over the course of the season. The Lady Vols strong inside defense held the All-SEC junior to only 12 points on 5-of-18 shooting. The last two times these teams played, Jackson shot an average of 44.5 percent and scored 25 and 18, respectively. Arkansas coach Jimmy Dykes said that when
his star scorer is cold from the field, his team’s ability to put up points is hindered. “If she’s not scoring, it’s hard for us to get to 60 (points),” Dykes admitted after the game. “We get to 60, we’re in most ballgames because our defense is normally pretty good.” Warlick admitted after the game that she “mixed up” the players that defended Jackson so that the junior couldn’t get in a rhythm. “We tried to keep somebody on her all the time,” Warlick said. “I just thought our awareness of where she was, what we needed to do, was solid.” Sophomore transfer Devin Cosper ended up leading the Razorbacks in scoring, dropping a season-high 20 points on 8-of-19 shooting. Diamond DeShields, who lead the Lady Vols with 15 points, said that she hopes the team’s momentum stays high through Saturday. “My birthday is on Saturday, so I’m really trying not to be in Knoxville for it,” DeShields admitted. “Hopefully, we can have some added motivation for that. I wanna be here playing on Saturday, so that’s all the motivation we need.”
The last time the Lady Vols played Texas A&M was on Feb. 7. Tennessee had a 51-40 lead on the Aggies entering the fourth quarter before A&M would outscore UT 21-10 in the final quarter to force overtime. The Aggies would later go on to win in overtime 76-71. Graves feels that the game is in the past and that her team is excited to get another chance at the No. 2 seeded team in the SEC. “We know when we were down there that we didn’t play our best,” Graves said. “We were capable of winning that game, and we had that game in our hands, but we just didn’t take care of our business. We know that this is the SEC Tournament, and we’re definitely going to be prepared to take them on.” Tennessee will tip-off against Texas A&M at 6 p.m. Mississippi State will host the winner of the Georgia-Vanderbilt game that took place on Thursday. All of Friday’s games, including Tennessee’s, will be broadcast live on the SEC Network.

Vols need pitchers to step up in Serrano’s absence Shane Switzer
Staff Writer
After defeating Cincinnati 7-1 in their home opener, the Vols will be back on the road this weekend taking part in the 13th annual Keith LeClair Classic hosted by East Carolina in Greenville, North Carolina. Tennessee opened the season in Chattanooga, Tenn. against Memphis before going out to Arizona to participate in the Grand Canyon Classic. The Vols played three games against Memphis and faced Saint Mary’s College, Central Michigan and Grand Canyon University in Arizona. Tennessee is currently 6-1 for the year after beating Cincinnati on Wednesday. While Tennessee only has one loss on the field, a 13-8 defeat at the hands of the Memphis Tigers, they have suffered a potentially major loss off the field. Junior starting pitcher Kyle Serrano will most likely need season-ending elbow surgery, the UT Medical Staff said in a press release. After the game Serrano’s father and head
coach Dave Serrano said the team is potentially losing 70 to 80 innings and will need others to step up and perform in Kyle’s absence. “Its life; it’s a part of life,” Dave Serrano said. “He has handled it extremely well. He’s disappointed for his team because he understands how special of a group this is, and he almost feels like he has let them down. As a father, I had to step forward and say you haven’t let anyone down.” Kyle had been tabbed as the early season Saturday starter for the Vols but that role now falls to Zach Warren. Stepping into the rotation for the foreseeable future will be Hunter Martin. Andy Cox, who has been the Friday starter to begin the season, will start again Friday against Maryland. The Terrapins had been predicted to win the Big 10 conference in the pre-season by D1Baseball.com but have stumbled early and come into the matchup with Tennessee with a 3-4 record. They most recently lost to Delaware 12-7. This will be the first time Tennessee and Maryland have met on the diamond. Saturday will provide the Vols their first true test of the season as they face tournament host No.16 East Carolina. The Pirates are 6-2 for the
This wekend’s tournament, the Keith LeClair Classic now on paper is one of the best tournaments probably in the country for the preseason, we’ll be challenged.” Dave Serrano, Head Coach
year with a road series win over No. 4 Virginia. Last season the Pirates had a 40 win season and made their first postseason appearance since 2012. This will be the first meeting between the Pirates and Vols since 2001 when they met in the Kingston, North Carolina Regional, which East Carolina won 6-3. ECU leads the all-time series 2-1. When Tennessee plays Southeastern Louisiana on Sunday, it will be the first time the two programs have met since 1980, when Southeastern Louisiana came to Knoxville and lost to the Vols 10-2. Alltime the series is tied 1-1. Southeastern is coming off a win over No.27 Tulane 13-4, finished last season 42-17 and won its first Southland regular-season title in program history. “This weekend’s tournament, the Keith LeClair Classic now on paper is one of the best tournaments probably in the country for the preseason,” Dave Serrano said. “We’ll be challenged.”

Honduras environmentalist killed by multiple gunmen Associated Press
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduran indigenous leader Berta Caceres, who won the 2015 Goldman Environmental Prize for her role in fighting a dam project, was shot dead Thursday by multiple gunmen who broke into her home, authorities said. Caceres, a 40-year-old Lenca Indian activist, had previously complained of receiving death threats from police, soldiers and local landowners because of her work. Tomas Membreno, a member of her group, the Indian Council of People’s Organizations of Honduras, said at least two assailants broke into a home and shot Caceres to death early Thursday in the town of La Esperanza. “Honduras has lost a brave and committed social activist,” Membreno said in a statement. The killing appeared to be targeted: A Mexican rights activist at the house was only slightly wounded in the attack, but Caceres’s body had four gunshot wounds. Police said they had detained a suspect, but did not identify the person. Caceres, a mother of four, led opposition to a proposed dam on the Gualcarque river, considered sacred by the Lencas. Many of the project’s backers have largely
abandoned building plans. President Juan Orlando Hernandez wrote in his Twitter account that “this act has caused mourning among all Hondurans.” His chief of staff, Jorge Alcerro, said “the president has instructed all government security forces to use all means to find the killers.” Alcerro said Caceres was supposed to be receiving special protection because of the death threats, but did not explain why there were no police protecting her when she was killed. Security Minister Julian Pacheco said police had initially been assigned to protective detail but Caceres asked for them to be withdrawn because they bothered her. He added that more than two attackers broke down the door of her home to gain entry. The London-based nonprofit Global Witness calls Honduras “the most dangerous country per capita to be an environmental activist” in recent years, with 101 such advocates slain between 2010 and 2014. The U.S. ambassador in Honduras, James D. Nealon, issued a statement saying, “We strongly condemn this despicable crime. The United States of America calls for a prompt and thorough investigation into this crime and for the full force of the law to be brought to bear against those found responsible.” Later Thursday, the Honduran government
said it was designating a commission of 12 experts to investigate Caderes’ killing. “The United States is helping on the case,” Hernandez said, inviting other countries to also “join this noble cause.” The United Nations special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, wrote that “it is highly probable that her assassination is linked with her work in protecting the human rights of the Lenca indigenous peoples to their lands and territories.” The website of the Goldman Environmental Prize said Caceres “waged a grassroots campaign that successfully pressured the world’s largest dam builder to pull out of the Agua Zarca Dam,” which the site said “would cut off the supply of water, food and medicine for hundreds of Lenca people and violate their right to sustainably manage and live off their land.” Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director for Amnesty International, said in a statement that “the cowardly killing of Berta is a tragedy that was waiting to happen.” “For years, she had been the victim of a sustained campaign of harassment and threats to stop her from defending the rights of indigenous communities,” said Guevara-Rosas. Relatives of Caceres said her body would be interred Sunday.

Students rally in support of UT’s diversity & inclusion office Tanner Hancock News Editor
Travis Dorman Staff Writer
Students gathered in Hodges Library Thursday to support UT’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion after the state Senate Education Committee proposed and passed an amendment Wednesday to strip the office of its state funding. Members of the UT Diversity Matters coalition set up a table to encourage students, faculty and staff who support diversity to sign a banner to be presented in front of the state capitol next Tuesday as a part of Advancing Equality Day on the Hill. The coalition plans to fill two buses with students from every district in Tennessee for the Nashville trip to present the banner to state legislators and express their dissatisfaction with the amendment against diversity funding. Advancing Equality Day on the Hill is an annual event organized by the Tennessee Equality Project, where advocates for equality meet with representatives in Legislative Plaza in Nashville to discuss relevant pieces of legislation. Ashley Campbell, senior in chemical engineering, president of Out in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics and member of UT Diversity Matters, explained the importance of making the journey. “You need to let the legislators know how you feel and where you stand on issues because they are supposed to represent you,” Campbell said. “There are some senators who are probably going to refuse to budge, but there are others who we can sway to our side. This is essentially showing not just the legislators and the people up in Nashville about it, but it shows the rest of Tennessee and the rest of the world how UT feels about diversity and inclusion.” Campbell and other members of UT Diversity Matters said they feel frustrated and angry that conservative legislators are continuing to attack the Office of Diversity, much of which began after the diversity office’s gender-neutral pronoun and inclusive holiday posts last year. “It’s 2016. It’s not about ‘Is diversity an option?’ or ‘Is diversity important?’” Kristen Godfrey, a graduate student working on her Master’s in social work, said. “We should be at this point in time where we’re saying diversity and inclusion is important. That’s the end of it; do not ask me why.” See DIVERSITY on Page 5

Activists on Rocky Top presents Antonio Butler Molly Brinkley Contributor
This week’s edition of the Daily Beacon’s “Activists on Rocky Top” looks at sophomore Antonio Butler, an organizer of a new event called Tunnels of Oppression. After personal experiences with oppression and inspiration from the Emerging Leaders program, Butler began working with other students to create an event that brings awareness to different forms of oppression. How are you involved with campus activism? Right now I am working on a project called Tunnels of Oppression, which started in Emerging Leaders. We are going to bring an event to campus on April 11 from 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. in the Panhellenic Building that will show students different oppressive situations that have happened on campus and hopefully shed a light on what really goes on in the dark. What kinds of issues will the event address? (Tunnels of Oppression) will address topics such as racism, sexual assault and religious prejudices that have all happened on campus and
ACTIVISTS on ROCKY TOP a multitude of different topics. How did you come up with the idea for this event? We got the idea from Appalachian State University when we went on our Emerging Leaders field trip, so we decided it would be a great event to bring to UT. We felt like it was greatly needed, especially after things that happened to me and a few others personally. Last year, some people called us the “n” word on Yik Yak right after being on an elevator with them and made monkey noises after we got off, so that fueled us. We just want this event to be successful and to help make campus a more inclusive environment so that first-year students will not have to go through the same things we did. How do you work towards your goals? For the event, I am just trying to make sure
Antonio Butler, sophomore, was chosen to be interviewed for this week’s edition of the Daily Beacon’s “Activist on Rocky Top”. Molly Brinkley • The Daily Beacon everything is set in stone so that it runs smoothly, so everyone who comes has a good experience and can take the information that they learn here and bring it to other parts of campus. In my life, I work towards goals by just being myself and living by what drives me — my faith — and just making sure that everything I do aligns with that. I also try to be as inclusive as possible with everyone I interact with and make sure that the way I interact with each person is how I would interact with a family member. Have you encountered any backlash in your activism? We have not really encountered any for the event; people have been very receptive. You always just know that there may not be people who want to see (the event) happen, but you keep pushing forward anyway. For me personally, God has not told me to stop doing it, so I am going to just keep doing it. Dean Melissa Shivers has been very helpful, and when we did the presentation, she was the first person to say it was a great idea. We have all the confidence in the world that this will be a great event, and we want as many people to know about it as possible. What do you hope to accomplish through the event?
I just want to bring awareness to these oppressive situations, and let people know that they actually happen and to get people to talk honestly about them. I feel like as a university, even in different groups, we just don’t really talk honestly about them in one big setting. How do you plan to continue activism after you graduate? Everything I have been doing up to this point has been out of passion, so I feel like wherever God takes me, then that is where I will go with it. If it is my time to do it on the front stage here at UT, then I am perfectly fine with that. If I am supposed to do bigger and greater things in the larger world after college, then I will most definitely do that, but I do not really have a plan with it yet. Right now I am just trying to make the best situation possible out of whatever happens here. What is your ultimate goal? When it comes to social justice, I just want everyone to be treated equally and just have the same opportunities. I want to see people succeed and thrive and be looked at as equal, regardless of the color of your skin in the society we live in today.

Campbell said she watched the Senate Education Committee meeting on C-SPAN and felt that the amendment was presented with ambiguous and deceiving language. “I was very frustrated because when that amendment passed, they very carefully said we want to divert money but didn’t tell anyone where the money was being diverted from … I feel sick, and I feel like the state legislature doesn’t have UT’s best interest at heart,” Campbell said. Sen. Dolores Gresham, R-Somerville, told UT President Joe DiPietro during the meeting, “This committee is behind you and UT.” She then proposed the amendment, which states, “Only federal funds shall be expended to support the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.” According to UT officials, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion does not receive any federal funding. The amendment passed unanimously and was proceeded by a nearly three hour hearing by the House education committees, in which UT president Joe DiPietro defended diversity funding at the Knoxville school. For Senator Joe Hensley, one of the committee members who voted in favor of the amendment, the measure will largely serve to take money away from the diversity office, which he sees as “not necessary.” “We just feel like they could spend their money more wisely and help these people in rural counties,” said Hensley of the funds relocated to rural outreach programs. Hensley also said that while the amendment does not specifically target the diversity office, he and his fellow senators intended to siphon money from the office, largely as a response to last year’s gender neutral pronouns and holiday inclusive post. “They should be spending their time educating students instead of becoming so involved in social issues,” Hensley said. “This whole issue is something I feel UT brought on themselves.” Sen. Dolores Gresham was not immediately available for comment. If the final budget is approved in April by UT’s Board of Trustees, the $5 million that was previously allocated to the Knoxville school will be rerouted to support the university’s agriculture extension services and rural outreach programs. The diversity office currently receives $5 million annually. Of that sum, $1.3 million is used on compliance and reporting activities pertaining to federal law, while $3.7 million is allocated to campus diversity programming. The amendment also transfers $3 million from administration and salaries at the Knoxville campus, splitting it evenly between UT Martin and UT Chattanooga to be used on rural outreach programs. Addressing the issue to the faculty and student body, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said that while the amendment was regrettable, he and other UT staff will continue to work with the Tennessee

legislature in order to ensure cuts to the diversity do not become a reality. “Diversity is more than a social concept. It’s an important aspect of the academic experience and our effective operations,” Cheek said in his statement. “Diversity and civility also are essential for our students and our institutional success, and we value each person on this campus as we promote and expect respect for all.” Miranda Rutan, UT Martin Student Representative to the Board of Trustees, agreed with Cheek’s claims that diversity is essential to preparing UT students for the world when she responded to the amendment Thursday. “The situation concerning the amendment saddens me. Diversity exists as an important part of the UT education to prepare us as students for a more diverse and more global world than generations before us have seen,” Rutan said. “I hope that all sides can come to a clearer understanding of the diversity issues, and a compromise to this very important matter can be achieved.” In a similar statement, UT Vice President for Government Relations and Advocacy Anthony Haynes said he hopes the university can still compromise with the legislature to preserve diversity funding for the school. “We certainly understand the motivation behind the amendment, and we’re hopeful that we can work it out before we pass the final budget in April,” Haynes said. Campbell explained the importance of preserving the office’s programming funds. “I think it’s easy to not realize the importance of diversity programming until you’re affected by it. I know several people affected by the Pride Center who legitimately feel like their life was saved by the presence of the Pride Center,” Campbell said.

Foreigner a “long, long way from home” at Tennessee Theatre Marina Waters Contributor
“Are you ready to raise some hell and rock ‘n’ roll tonight?” asked lead singer of the classic rock band Foreigner, Kelly Hansen, to a sold-out Tennessee Theatre crowd Wednesday night. Regardless of the crowd’s response, Foreigner did put on a hell-raising show full of world-wide hits like “I Wanna Know What Love Is” and classic rock tunes such as “Waiting For A Girl Like You” to keep concert-goers out of their seats all night. The band celebrates 40 years of great music this year, and Wednesday night was a true testament to their musical résumé. Hit after hit blasted off the stage and plummeted the crowd back in time to the late ‘70s and ‘80s, when Foreigner first ruled the rock music scene. Songs like the cooler than cool tune “Cold As Ice” and the rock anthem “Jukebox Hero” electrified the audience with screaming guitar solos and unforgettable melodies while Hansen danced around with his mic stand, even taking a moment to zip through the aisles of the theatre to the center of the room. Although there were few lulls in the full-throttle

rock show, the band displayed their raw talent and ability to perform without gimmicks and effects overused by musical acts today in their stripped down performance of “Say You Will.” After performing the acoustic version of the song, the long-haired front man emphasized the true musicianship of the band saying they were “just real people playing real music, just like it should be.” The band’s talent was further revealed through Hansen’s spot-on vocals and entertainer’s energy while the guitarists flew up and down their fret boards. One band member even rocked the flute for a bit, followed later by a mind blowing saxophone solo. However, there’s no denying that the hit songs were the backbone of this five-star show from Foreigner. The feel-good song “Feels Like the First Time” brought the crowd to a roar upon the first hint of its melody, and the knock-out, 1978 barn burner “Hotblooded” upped everyone’s temperature with that stalling guitar riff and screaming rock ‘n’ roll vocals. Nothing cooled down these rockers and their red-hot performances of their hits from the past 40 years. They left the crowd with a temperature of 103 by proxy of the best rock ‘n roll show Knoxville has seen.
Spanish Immersion Day prepares students for studying abroad Danni Ha
Contributor Did you know Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the United States today? In addition to their language, Hispanic immigrants in the U.S. have brought along other aspects of their culture, including rich food, lively music and exciting celebrations. After noticing that other language departments were holding cultural events of their own, Pedro Tomás, current coordinator of Spanish Immersion Day, and Annachiara Mariani, a Spanish and Italian studies lecturer here at UT, decided to start an event of their own in order to promote Hispanic culture. The third annual Spanish Immersion Day will be hosted on Saturday, March 5 at the Tennessee School for the Deaf from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. This event is exclusive to UT students and will serve as an opportunity for students to experience Hispanic culture and practice their Spanish speaking skills. Students will be presented with the challenge of not speaking English for the duration of this event. “What we want to do, and this is what’s really fun, is for them to speak Spanish the entire time. When they come in, they get a bunch of rubber bands … and if teachers catch (another student speaking English) they will take a rubber band,” Tomás explained. “(Students can also catch each other and take each other’s rubber bands to gain more for themselves.) Then at the end we count your rubber
bands and see how many you got and, at the end of the day, whoever has the most gets the bigger prize.” Ian Morris, senior in geography and the vicepresident and treasurer of the Spanish Club, recalled his favorite part of last year’s Spanish Immersion Day — the food. “I attended for the first time last year, and I had a great time,” Morris said. “The faculty members who prepare the food are experts on making unique dishes from their countries and regions, and it’s delicious.” This event will be particularly beneficial to students who are considering studying abroad in a Spanish-speaking country. Pedro wants students “to experience the whole Hispanic (culture) thrown at them. That’s the whole thing, is to leave going ‘Okay, this is a taste of what it would be (like) to be abroad.’” Outside of the educational aspect, Morris said the range of activities, food and general atmosphere of the event will be “a blast” for students. “This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is studying Spanish, speaks Spanish or is thinking about studying Spanish,” Morris said. “Where else do you have an opportunity to listen to and speak exclusively Spanish for a whole day in a welcoming environment with other learners such as yourself?” Space at the event is limited. The cost is $5 to reserve a spot, and the money can be paid to Pam Hughes in room 701 in the McClung Tower. Friday, March 4 is the last day that reservation fees will be accepted.

There is value in the humanities degree
Sarah Hagaman Tiurn of Phase
I admit to hardcore eavesdropping on the conversation. While the Starbucks murmured and a barista called out “Flat White!” the cashier fell into conversation with a regular customer. I sat in an overstuffed chair, only a few feet away, buried in a pile of papers. “. . . almost finished with that literature degree?” “Yeah, almost there. I’m starting my more practical path now, probably with computer science. I’m about to get started with calculus and chemistry.” “Yeah, heard that’s a pretty safe area. So not engineering a novel?” “ . . . No, not doing that. I wish.” Humanities majors have a dilemma, one that has haunted the United States education system for decades. Jobs and employment glimmer in the not-so-distant-horizon, but so does the possibility of unemployment. Humanities majors don’t seamlessly translate into technological, professional careers and often seek alternative ways to make money or earn a practical degree. Relatives of girls majoring in philosophy or classics encourage her to become a glorified secretary or to meet “a nice boy” (read: MRS degree) to save her from utter poverty. Popular sentiment often insinuates that humanities majors effectively waste four years of education.
Yet for all the humanities majors, those who face slurs of ineffectiveness and joblessness, perhaps this threat proves less true than the engineers would lead one to believe. According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities, only 2.5 percent of American adults hold a degree in the humanities, but that number has slowly begun to rise. Despite the fear of joblessness, the real value in a humanities education exists in a measure far beyond a title or monetary income: a humanities education allows one to not only make a living but to create a life. As Socrates once said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Studying humanities allows people to more deeply understand the forces that define the human experience, especially through art, culture, religion and language. Deeply examining these areas allows us to understand others and to ultimately understand ourselves. A rich knowledge about human thought and purpose deserves prominence in the university system. Studying various humanist ideologies allows us to become better citizens due to increased awareness of human principles and the complexity of life. Values that create better people — values like
Giving every student a voice
Peter Cates
For Pete’s Sake
Let me break down the basic way that bills are written into law in the Tennessee Congress. First, a bill is introduced. Then it goes through a committee that specifically deals with the topic the bill addresses. If the committee passes it, the Senate votes on it. If it’s approved in the Senate, the House votes on it. If it’s approved in the House, it’s written into law. Wednesday afternoon, the Education Committee of the Tennessee Senate voted on an amendment (SB1912) regarding the state’s higher education budget that Governor Haslam submitted. The Education Committee’s amendment seeks to strip the proposed funding from the Office of Diversity and Inclusion on UT’s campus. The Education Committee voted in favor of the bill unanimously. That means that the heterosexual, white, cisgender, male majority in the Tennessee Senate gets to decide whether or not UT actually needs to support a diverse campus. I don’t say this to imply that white, straight, cis men do not or cannot support diversity but rather to say that they shouldn’t get to determine whether or not gay+, non-white, transgendered women have a voice on the University of Tennessee’s campus that supports them. “Why shouldn’t they?” you may be asking. “If they are elected representatives then they represent the desires of the people. After all, doesn’t the State Senate have our best interests in mind?”
The State Senate is proving with this action that the only thing they have in mind is power. They will continue to try to appease their constituents so that they keep getting voted in. These are the same constituents that just proved that they want a Trump presidency by voting for him in 94 of the 95 counties in Tennessee (yay, Williamson County), which makes it clear that racism and bigotry will win elections in our state. On a similar note, SB2569 is also active. If passed, it would transfer powers of the Board of Regents to the state government. That could potentially mean that they would have control over more than these kinds of fiscal decisions. Things like curriculum, tenured professors and academic policies would be strongly influenced by the same state legislature that is working to cut funding to marginalized groups on campus. If they are cutting funding for diversity on campus, who is to say they won’t try to cut classes on diversity or refuse to give tenure to professors with PhD’s in diverse topics? So why is the State Legislature doing this? Because the Office of Diversity sent out two controversial memos this year: one offered a way to be respectful to people who don’t conform to the gender binary, while the other suggested Christianity isn’t the only religion. No matter where you fall on the spectrum of ideology, neither of these statements made any mandatory changes that faculty or students had to
tolerance, understanding, creativity, cultural understanding and communication — thrive under the instruction of the humanities. Developing such skills remains a life-long process and cannot be lost in the current emphasis on economically practical degrees. Even I cannot ignore the importance of making an income, but I refuse to believe that universities resign themselves to technical training institutions that, like automatons, carry out systematic procedures that solely support the economic underpinning of society. With enough work and effort, many humanities majors find fulfilling careers because of the deep understandings given by their studies. The principles and sharp communication skills taught in the humanities can effectively translate to any job and complement a wide variety of important professions. Technical, medical or entrepreneurial knowledge has a major place in the function of the workforce, but the skills taught by the humanities endure beyond graduation. The humanities educate the whole person — an educational gift that multiplies far beyond any paycheck.

do. Therefore, you could call people by the wrong pronoun and tell Jews that Christmas is the only real holiday. No one was stopping you. But certain media sources and the legislators in Nashville don’t care about silly things like what the statements actually said. They don’t even want conversations that suggest marginalized groups could be better supported — or maybe they don’t think some of those groups even exist. I think we need to remind ourselves that someone telling you that you can’t oppress them doesn’t oppress you. Starbucks taking snowflakes off of their Christmas cups isn’t an attack on Christianity. Gay marriage doesn’t take away from your marriage. Knowing how to use pronouns for someone who feels stuck in the wrong body doesn’t make you less of a man. When Jesus said Christians would be persecuted, he didn’t mean by the Office of Diversity. There are people in this country who have actually experienced systemic oppression, and maybe, just maybe, something like the Office of Diversity helps. I think funding for an office on campus that is trying to make life easier for people whose lives may have been hard is important. Call or email your senator. Let them know that you want to give every student a voice. Peter Cates is a junior in English. He can be reached at pcates4@vols.utk.edu

Knoxtacular showcases local media Art Market Gallery focus on nature art JoAnna Brooker Contributor
The strongest independent voices of Knoxville are taking the stage this Saturday night. The reason? Knoxtacular: an all-day, all local and all-live variety fundraiser for local media such as WDVX public radio and the Knoxville History Project/Knox Mercury. Knoxtacular has been in the works since the Knoxville History Project’s and Knox Mercury’s founding over a year ago. The Mercury is actually a subsidiary to the Knoxville History Project, because it was founded after the discontinuation of Knoxville’s Metro Pulse publication, via Kickstarter and Knoxville History Project donations. “Since about a year ago we started thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we had a big public party, invited everybody and maybe raised some money along the way,’� Director of the Knoxville History Project and contributor to the Knox Mercury Jack Neely said. “It’s a good way to raise money for the people who want to help us, but it’s all strictly voluntary.� Since WDVX, the Knoxville History Project and the Knox Mercury are all non-profits, events like this are important in supporting Knoxville’s community. “Knoxville is a community that takes great pride in the uniqueness of who we are and what
part of the world we’re in,� marketing director for WDVX Roger Harb said. “And I think we’ve got a beautiful cross-section of people who value that uniqueness of Knoxville as a community and want to support that.� What is unique about these three organizations is in what they give back to the community — a platform for local artists and independent voices to be heard and to better understand their own culture. “Because we’re not owned by anybody with corporate affiliations, we’re not afraid to point out things in news stories that other publications or organizations might not be able to or might not want to do,� Neely said. Knoxtacular will feature performances by Kelle Jolly, Ellie Fox, the Chillbillies and many more. There will be various performers, including musicians, poets and comedians. In addition, the show will offer an opportunity for door prizes, including tickets to Big Ears, Rhythm & Blooms and South Pacific. Knoxtacular will be from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday in the Bijou Theatre, with a minimum $10 donation recommended at the door. If you cannnot make it to the event, WDVX will be broadcasting a live radiothon from the Bijou all day on 89.9 FM and can accept donations live or over the phone. For more information on Knoxtacular and the lineup, visit _http://www.knoxmercury. com/2016/02/11/announcing-knoxtacular-an-allday-all-local-benefit-variety-show/. _

Contributor This month the Art Market Gallery will hold works that are one with nature. The paintings of Lynda Best and pipes made by Ron Smith both center around the artists’ love of the outdoors. Best draws most of her inspiration from nature and the close connection she has with nature, which she says comes from her Christian faith. Whether showing waterfalls, cascades or calm waters, Best believes that her particular style of art, contemporary impressionism, conveys a sense of being in the moment. She does this by highlighting the edges with colors and making the background equally intense. Best’s works on display at the Art Market Gallery focus on water and its strength. From this eleven piece collection, her favorite painting is of the Baby Falls. She painted two versions of it, each in a different season, because she said she wanted to reflect the change in the water and highlight the contrast between the same falls at different times of the year. “When I paint, it reminds me everything is changing,� Best said. Looking at a different spectrum of art, Ron Smith became interested in making pipes

several years ago when he started sculpting classes at Walter State Community College, but at an International Pipe Makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seminar in Chicago is where Smith received the most influence on his craft. However, Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest inspiration stems from Danish pipe makers, who he feel he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;done justiceâ&#x20AC;? to with his latest works. The twelve pipes in his current collection are all made from Greek plateau briar. This is a special type of briar, found in the Mediterranean regions, which grows between the roots of the white heath tree. Smith proves his ability to use briar effectively, as his pipes show the beauty and color of the wood. However, the briar Smith uses is imperfect, meaning it is full of cracks and flaws, but that is exactly how he likes it. The message of his collection is to use the wood in the way nature crafted it, with all the imperfections. One of his favorite pieces in the collection uses this principle. This pipe has an indentation in the plateau, the part of the pipe where the tobacco is placed. While this would usually make crafting difficult, Smith used the blemish as a spot to place the bowl, utilizing its natural curve. These two collections will be on display at the Art Market Gallery, located on Gay Street next to the Mast General Store, until the end of the month. The Art Market Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Friday reception takes place March 4 from 5:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
