Jimmy Eat World rocks out with 25-song set Rrita Hashani

For a girl who was only familiar with Jimmy Eat World’s song “The Middle,” there was much more I would’ve rather been doing last Monday night than going to their concert. But later that night, my entire mood changed when the band rocked The Mill & Mine with an
Volume 133 Issue 36
incredible 25-song set. The night began with AJJ, the opening band, whose humorous and truthful pop-folk songs made the crowd laugh and dance simultaneously. You could tell the band was having a good time, which in turn led to the crowd having a fun, light time as well. And, if you weren’t, AJJ singer Sean Bonnette had some advice for those in attendance. “That’s okay. Just drink a beer, talk to friends. You do you,” Bonnette yelled into the mic.
AJJ’s light-hearted outfit with a goofy frontman and not-so-light-hearted lyrics set the tone for the rest of the show. Jimmy Eat World, with two strobe streetlights at each end of the stage, continued the vibe put in place by the openers. The 23-yearold band brought out an older crowd, with the exception of a 10-year-old who rocked out near me. Each person, no matter the age, surprisingly raged their hearts out until the end of the night. The Arizona-based band began with hard

alternative rock hits whose bass drums shook my heart in my chest — in the best way. Since the set list was 25 songs long, it dragged a bit during the middle of the show, when the slower, less familiar songs lulled on. However, the band turned the mood around again when they jammed to newer tunes from their 2016 album “Integrity Blues,” which had the entire crowd yelling with fists raised in the air.

Alec Baldwin, the actor behind the exaggerated portrayal of President Donald Trump on SNL, has alluded to retiring from the role. He believes that viewers will tire of the gig and also appears to be fearing repercussions from the President himself. Although unclear how long SNL plans to keep Baldwin playing Trump, the gig was originally meant to last through the election. His satirical portrayal has given SNL an uptick in ratings. Additionally, some are lobbying for him to play Trump during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which President Trump will not be attending.

Bears may be targeting Mike Glennon The Chicago Bears and quarterback Mike Glennon have interest in each other, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Rapoport reported Tuesday that the team is expected to make a “major push” for the 27-year-old and that Glennon views Chicago as his “preferred spot.” The Bears are reportedly seeking a trade for quarterback Jay Cutler, who has been with the team for eight years. Glennon, who has been on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ roster the past four seasons, is expected to garner anywhere from $14-$15 million annually. Glennon played for the N.C. State Wolfpack before entering the NFL.

Staff Writer This May, Strong Hall, located on Sixteenth Street and Cumberland Avenue, will become home to the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, Anthropology Department and new labs for Biology and Chemistry. Earth and Planetary Sciences and Anthropology departments have not been in the same building for decades. Despite the large transition, Larry McKay, head of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, said UT was cooperative in the process. “Right now, our classes and labs are split between two buildings, so we are all very excited about being in one building. We are also very excited because the building will be new,” McKay said. “UT was very good in engaging the faculty and staff in the design of the teaching spaces, the research spaces, even the way our administrative offices are laid out. So we are really going to get what we want and need for more modern teaching and research.” As the largest department, the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department will occupy most of the nine-story build-

ing on half of the fifth and all of sixth and seventh floors. The Anthropology Department will have a floor and a half. The building will also include lecture halls and classrooms that will be shared by everyone. A mission control room will be located in part of the Sophronia Strong Hall that was built in 1926 as a women’s residence hall. The feature will be shared by all departments, and although it is meant to be used for space missions, McKay said it can be used for other purposes. “We will have a mission control room. It will be basically a high-tech video tele-conference room. It will seat about a dozen people with several computer monitors,” McKay said. “It can be used for anything that involves having groups of people work together, often with collabo-
rators at other universities or research institutions … One of the attractive parts of it will be a large glass wall, so people will be able to see what is happening in the lab.” The mission control room’s creation was led by Jeffrey Moersch, a professor in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department. “I led the group of faculty requesting (the mission control room) when the Strong Hall designers were drawing up the plans, and I gave them lots of details about ways they could make the space most useful for the purpose we intended. I know the general concept for the room was approved,” Moerch said. “We’ll know for sure how it turned out when they turn the building over to us and we are allowed to see it.”

North Atlanta scholarship to honor Josh Dobbs Shelby Whitehead Staff Writer
Joshua Dobbs, the former UT quarterback, is known for his efforts on the football field. And now, his name is being attributed to a new honor: the North Atlanta Alumni Chapter Annual Scholarship. The R. Joshua Dobbs scholarship will provide a $25,000 endowment to UT students who are from North Atlanta. Dobbs himself is an Alpharetta, Georgia, native, giving him a personal connection to the future recipients. This is the first time in the scholarship’s history that it will be named after an individual. One of the board members and a family friend of the Dobbs’ suggested the title based on the former quarterback’s character on and off the field. The chapter agreed because the members said they value Dobbs’ academic leadership, his personal morals, his community influence and his athletic success. “Take athletics out of it, he’s still a good kid,” Jeff Pruitt, the chapter president, said. The scholarship can be awarded to one or two students who are judged based on merit rather than need. The distribution of the scholarship is determined by the university’s
financial aid office. “The requirements, in a general sense, are a mirror of what we see in Joshua and (that’s) why we are excited about this endowment,” Jim Clark, chapter representative, said. “It represents what we are looking for in tomorrow’s student — high academics and test scores, leadership and service to others.” The chapter has already been in the process of acquiring the $25,000 needed as a baseline for the endowment. The North Atlanta chapter raised an estimated $5,000 following its participation in the VolStarter Chapter Challenge, a fundraising initiative through the Alumni Association. The chapter is also continually accepting donations in any amount and asking for financial gifts by reminding donors the money is going to support a real North Atlanta student pursuing academic and collegiate success. “Donate $11 because that’s (Dobbs’) number,” Pruitt said. Dobbs has been advocating for the scholarship through media outlets like Twitter. He will also be the guest speaker at the North Atlanta chapter annual golf tournament. “Given who he is on and off the field, we couldn’t imagine a better person to help represent the North Atlanta Chapter,” Pruitt said.

Novelist reads on love, destruction Event to celebrate international Courtney Whited Copy Editor
The last Writers in the Library event before students leave for spring break featured the work of novelist Maggie Shipstead. “Seating Arrangements,” Shipstead’s first novel, was published in 2012 and won the L.A. Times Book Prize for First Fiction, the Dylan Thomas Prize and was both a New York Times and national bestseller. Her second novel, “Astonish Me,” was published in 2014 and has since garnered a large amount of praise. Other works of Shipstead’s have appeared in The New York Times, the Washington Post, Conde Nast Traveler, Tin House and The Best American Short Stories. On Monday, March 6, Margaret Lazarus Dean, a fellow novelist, associate professor and director of creative writing, introduced Shipstead and explained the power of her work. Dean described Shipstead’s style as epitomizing the destruction of human existence and a merciless depiction of love and relationships. “And, she lives in L.A. with the best dog in the world,” Dean said, ending her introduction on a lighter note. The audience was silent and attentive while Shipstead read her works, with the exception of a few moments of laughter when the story took a turn into some dark humor.
Shipstead is currently the visiting professor of creative writing at UT and is teaching a graduate seminar this semester. Many of her students showed up on Monday to hear her read. “It’s been great to have the opportunity to live someplace new,” Shipstead said about her time at UT. During the question and answer portion of the event, Shipstead explained that she is currently working on a third novel which is already longer than her previous two novels. She also said that she has not written a short story in years. “I think you can get out of practice with writing the short story,” Shipstead said. “Maybe I’ll get it back, but probably not.” Shipstead elaborated on her shift from short stories to novels by explaining the significance of writing workshops, where she could get constant feedback on her short stories. She said she does not feel she needs this kind of feedback with her novels. Shipstead also explained that she enjoys the space that novel writing gives her to explore and follow the characters through the plot, as opposed to the short story which must be more compact. The Writers in the Library event series will continue after spring break with four more readings. The next event will be held on March 20 at 7 p.m. in the Lindsey Young Auditorium and will feature Katherine Smith and Tanque Jones.
refugee women through art
McNeeley Moore Contributor
In conjunction with International Women’s Day, Bridge Refugee Services is hosting an International Women’s Art Benefit, with the goal of recognizing and celebrating the resiliency of refugee women. Katie Weber, an employee at Bridge Refugee Services for more than five years, said that her work within the organization has had a dramatic impact on her. She also outlined the diversity of need experienced by women who seek help from Bridge Refugee Services. “I am still awed by the perseverance and strength shown by our female clients. Many of them are widows and are raising young children in a completely unfamiliar environment,” Weber said. “Others were victims of sexual violence during wartime. However, they have the internal strength to overcome these traumas and work towards a brighter future.” Given the current political climate and recent restrictions on immigration, Weber said that the need for honoring and celebrating refugee women is more important than ever. “We want this event to be an opportunity to celebrate these women and at the same time preserve Bridge’s ability to provide services to these deserving clients,” Weber said. “This event obviously takes on a new urgency with the release of the updated executive order
today. We hope to see the community show up and support our clients.” The revised immigration executive order removed Iraq from the list of countries with suspended immigration and removed the blanket ban on Syrian refugees. However, it maintains the original order’s goal of curbing the amount of refugees admitted to the U.S. “International Women’s Day, March 8, celebrates the accomplishments of women throughout the world,” Kimberly Mason, one of the artists featuring her work at the event, said. “At a time when refugees of all nationalities and genders are denied admittance to our country, it seems particularly important to honor international women.” In honor of international women, the artists behind the event are donating all proceeds to Bridge Refugee Services. “I’ve witnessed first-hand how settlement in a new country saves lives,” Mason said. “What a lot of people don’t realize is that with the ban on refugee arrivals, the federal funding for refugee settlement was also cut ... I’m participating in the art show to show solidarity with the refugees in our community and to support the vital and ongoing work of Bridge Refugee Services here in Knoxville.” The art exhibition will be held at the Hive on Central Avenue on Friday, March 10, from 5—9 p.m. In addition to all the art on display, the event will offer local food and live music. Tickets are $5 at the door and all proceeds go to benefit Bridge Refugee Services.
JIMMY EAT WORLD continued from Page 1 The band’s ninth and newest album has been called “Jimmy Eat World’s best record since ‘Bleed American,’” by Pitchfork. While it proves to be more on the alternative rock side than their quintessential emo sound that old fans know and love, the crowd still sang, screamed and yelled along to the lyrics, new and old. Jimmy Eat World had the crowd roaring from start to finish, especially when they left the stage. When the band finished their final song and walked off, there was a thunderous, tenacious applause that did not stop until the band finally returned for an encore. And, it wasn’t until the encore that they played “The Middle,” but it was an incredible experience to finally see the band’s breakthrough hit, now 16-years-old, live. I got to sing my heart out with a room full of people to everyone’s favorite 2000s jam, which was way better than anything else I could have been doing on a Monday night.

An 83-58 loss to Kentucky wasn’t pretty, games. The critical opinions were justified.

However, this season the Vols beat the coffin for Barnes’ squad. But, Barnes said it wasn’t the late-season odds and finished the season 16-15 (8-9 SEC), wrapping up the No. 9 seed in the losses that ruined the Vols chances of making SEC Tournament. Although it’s not perfect, the NCAA Tournament, but that teams have head coach Rick Barnes was pleased with to be ready to compete as soon as the season the team, albeit still thinking they could have starts. “If you ask me, personally, I think that you done better. should have to go out and play tough games “I feel like we’re better than where we are, but you are who you are,” Barnes said. “We and make all those games in November matwere in a position coming down the stretch, ter, too,” Barnes said. “I do not think that you and the thing that we didn’t do is we didn’t can write off November and December games take it to another level.

Freshman Grant Williams stepped in at power forward and played well enough to earn the All-Freshman SEC team. His 12.8 points per game was second on the team behind Hubbs’ 13.9 points per game and Williams had the highest shooting percentage of anyone on the team at 50.2 percent. “I (still) have higher expectations for myself,” Williams said. His defensive prowess could be felt as well, as the freshman averaged six rebounds a game and blocked 60 shots on the season, which was a freshman record. His 26 steals were also a team-high.

I’ve watched 10 of their eir games this year leading up to this game, and he’s just a fighter, man.” While Williams has worked well down low and provided a youthful spark, Hubbs has led the team with his seniority and ability to take over a game. Hubbs entered the 1,000-point club in the home losss to Vanderbilt and led the team in scororing and minutes played at 982. Hubbs was also the only member of the Vols that started all 31 games — all while Hubbs dealt with knee injuries. “I have heard so much about Robert obert coming here that he didn’t play hard or he didn’t do this or that.

Stone, Rubadue qualify for NCAA championships Staff Report
Tennessee divers Liam Stone and Rachel
Rubadue qualified for the NCAA championships after their performances on Monday at the Zone B Championships.
Stone finished first on the 1-meter springboard at last year’s NCAA championships and had his qualification come after recording a two-list combined score of 775.40 in the same event, finishing in second. Rubadue used a slightly different approach in qualifying for the championships. She surged forward to fourth place late in the finals after scoring 611.65 on the 3-meter. This will be the second time she has attended the NCAAs. Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington’s pride for the two divers was on full display. “I was very pleased with two of our divers booking their spots in the NCAA championships on day one,� Parrington said. “Liam
picked it up in the finals and did what he needed to do. Rachel started out strong and really competed today. She hit some key dives in clutch situations. I was pleased with her competitive spirit today.� Other notable performances include senior Michael Howell and sophomore Nick Rusek, who finished 22nd and 26th overall, respectively. Howell will seek to push up the rankings as his best events will take place later in the competition. The NCAA zone championships will resume Tuesday with the men’s 3-meter and women’s 1-meter events.

FOOTBALL
New football coaches excited to get to work this spring Rob Harvey
Asst. Sports Editor With an important season coming up in 2017 for the Tennessee football team, this offseason the team has focused on building an elite coaching staff. In total, the Vols have made six coaching changes this offseason. On Tuesday, March 7, the three newest additions, Kevin Beard, Brady Hoke and Walt Wells, talked about their new positions on the coaching staff and how they are adapting. Walt Wells: Out of the three new coaches, Wells is the most familiar with Tennessee; for the past year, he has been an offensive quality control assistant. On Feb. 27, Wells was promoted to offensive line coach. Wells said his past experience at UT gives him a leg up in recruiting compared to the rest of the incoming coaching staff. “That gives me a chance to do more recruiting to be quite honest with you,” Wells said on Tuesday. “Because I understand the terminology — we were in the room all last year and had a great room, and we still do. So, with the new stuff we’re doing, it’s good to learn that quickly but then move on to some of the other things I’ve
got to do.” Wells comes in with more than 21 years of coaching experience as an offensive line coach and coordinator. Before UT, Wells was at Eastern Kentucky (1997-2002, 2015), New Mexico State (2014), South Florida (2013) and Western Kentucky (2003-2012). Wells will be replacing Don Mahoney, who joined UT when head coach Butch Jones started in 2013. As spring practice approaches, Wells will be working with an offensive line that lost just one starter from last year and has a lot of depth. With all of that depth at his disposal, Wells will be looking at some position battles in the spring. “I think the biggest thing that we need to do up front is all of the above: strength, continuity is a big thing and become one,” Wells said. “We need to settle in on some positions, but we’ve got tons of competition, so it’s going to be hard to do that in the spring.” Along with the returning players, Wells will also benefit from the arrival of freshman Trey Smith. Smith, rated the number one prospect by ESPN, was an early enrollee, meaning that he will be available to participate in spring practice — giving him a head start over the other incoming freshmen. Wells is excited to coach a player like Smith.
“He will start off at left tackle, and then we’ll see where he goes as the spring goes on. There’s a lot of pressure on Trey, but he is a young man that is willing to take that,” Wells said. “He’s mature, and he’s come in and worked well. I am looking forward to seeing him compete.” Brady Hoke: With much of the UT football staff coming in with little coaching experience at big-time schools, adding Hoke to the staff was a huge get. Hoke comes in with defensive line coaching experience, which will be his position at UT, and 12 years of head coaching experience, including four years as head coach of Michigan. Hoke’s 12 years of head coaching experience at Michigan (2011-2014), San Diego State (20092010) and Ball State (2003-2008) is something that gives him an obvious advantage and which could greatly benefit the UT staff. However, despite having been a head coach before, Hoke is excited to be back as a defensive line coach. “It’s fun being with those kids,” Hoke said on Tuesday. “That’s why, as a head coach, I always coached something on the defensive line … I love being around those guys. My wife gets mad because 2:25 is my favorite time of day because I get to be with those kids.” Through his 33 years of coaching experience, Hoke has already gotten to know Butch Jones,
even trying to get Jones to join his coaching staff while he was head coach at Ball State. “(Butch) was a heck of a coach with Mike Debord at Central Michigan at the time,” Hoke said. “You would see him at clinics and recruiting, all those kinds of things. It’s probably been 16 years of knowing each other.” Hoke will be the coach of the defensive line and the associate head coach. He will be replacing Steve Stripling, who will now be the director of football program development for the Vols. Hoke will have his hands full — the Vols’ defense ranked 11th out of 14th in the SEC last year. Hoke said he looks forward to improving that statistic with some of the returning staff and the new defensive coaches. “It’s just not going to be me, believe me,” Hoke said. “Another year of the kids with Bob Shoop and his defense and with Thig (Tommy Thigpen) being a guy who has been here. I can’t say enough about Thig or Charlton as the secondary coach.” Kevin Beard: While Hoke and Wells come in with many years of college coaching, Beard is the novice of the bunch. He enters with just three years of coaching experience, with only one of them being as a wide receivers coach, the spot he will be in charge of at UT. See more online at utdailybeacon.com
