Event parking frustrates with miscommunication Copy Chief
In a survey conducted by The Daily Beacon, 70.1 percent of people on UT’s campus gave event parking a 1 out of 5. Of the 758 respondents, 52.8 percent were non-commuters, 46.4 percent were commuters and 0.8 percent were staff. They were asked to identify their type of parking permit, lots they regularly used during events and reasons for being on campus during events, among others. Respondents were also given the opportunity to write-in their experiences with event parking on campus. “I have been late to class because I was not aware that parking was off-limits for an event,” a survey respondent said. “It is extremely frustrating when there is an event being held, and I have a $280 parking pass hanging in my car, yet I can’t
park in a lot?” another respondent said. “That is absurd.” UT Parking and Transit is responsible for selling students, staff and faculty their parking permits for the school year, organizing transit of the T, coordinating event parking and more. For event parking, Parking and Transit provides cones, signs and lot attendants to assist with the influx of visitors to campus. Attendants charge $10 for parking in a lot that has been designated for an event, most of which are lots located around Thompson-Boling Arena and Neyland Stadium. This can be a problem for students attempting to park on campus, and in the survey, 91.5 percent of respondents said that they had, at one point, had to park on campus during an event. During events, lots that are typically open to commuters and non-commuters are reserved for those who pay a given charge. Survey respondents as a whole
found this unfair, with many claiming that the cost of a parking permit should be enough. “(I) shouldn’t have to pay $10 when I already dropped over $100 on a parking pass,” a survey respondent said. Moira Bidner, communications and customer service manager for Parking and Transit, stated, however, that the revenue from event parking helps to reduce the price of parking permits. “That small amount of revenue — it’s about 16 percent of our budget — is from special event parking,” Bidner said. “And that includes football and basketball, which are, you know, the big guns ... But all these other little things help pay for, or help reduce the cost of, not only student, but staff parking, so that’s it’s reasonable for all of us.”

What not to miss this Big Ears
Megan Patterson
Managing Editor
Thursday, March 23: Carla Bley and the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra at the Tennessee Theatre - 7 p.m. As an award winning jazz performer and composer, Carla Bley will put on a tough act to follow for the rest of the weekend’s musicians. Add Knoxville’s own large jazz ensemble, and you can’t set the bar too high for this performance. Jonathan Demme: “Justin Timberlake & the Tennessee Kids” at the Tennessee Theatre - 9:30 p.m. Although he may have received the most widespread attention for his feature films “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Philadelphia,” director and producer Jonathan Demme is also a documentary filmmaker who has made several works looking at musicians, including his first full-length documentary following The Talking Heads, “Stop Making Sense.” In “Justin Timberlake & the Tennessee Kids,” Demme documents the final nights of Timberlake’s world tour. Blonde Redhead with ACME perform “Misery Is A Butterfly” at the Mill & Mine - 11:30 p.m. This alternative rock band will perform what is known as one of their most defining albums, “Misery Is A Butterfly,” which was originally released in 2004. Although the early 2000s definitive angst rock sound is evident in the album, it brings an artistic dream pop feel that sets the album apart.
Friday, March 24: Matmos perform Robert Ashley’s “Perfect Lives (Private Parts)” at the Tennessee Theatre - 12 p.m. The electronic duo will perform their cover of Robert Ashley’s iconic 1979 album. Although Matmos is taking on a challenge with this cult classic, the duo’s eclectic style of creating and blending sounds seems fit for the job. Wilco at the Tennessee Theatre - 10 p.m. Over their 20-year career, Wilco has undergone a number of stylistic transformations, but the alternative rock outfit has remained fixed on one thing — artistic integrity. It is John Tweedy’s commitment to his music that gives the band their longevity and what guarantees their fans a stellar performance each and every time. Tortoise at the Mill & Mine - 11:30 p.m. This group infiltrated the early ‘90s underground rock scene with a set more fit for a jazz performance. However, this trio’s innovative use of instrumentals is what sets them apart
Alternative rock band Wilco is a big name in this year’s lineup for Big Ears. • Courtesy of The Indie Sound and gives them a sound entirely their own. Expect something of a minimalist jazz, rock performance.
Saturday, March 25: Colin Stetson presents Sorrow: A Reimagining of Gorecki’s 3rd Symphony at the Mill & Mine - 6 p.m. Although this multireedist will be playing a symphony, Stetson will likely give it his own interpretation with the help of members from alternative rock bands Arcade Fire and Liturgy, among others, in the 10-piece ensemble. However, it will remain a emotive, classical-style piece in which a Polish mother grieves her separation from her children. Don’t let the heavy topic scare you away, but be prepared for the haunting Polish lyrics and accompanying score. Steve Lehman and Sélébéyone at the Mill & Mine - 8 p.m. Blending jazz and hip-hop like never before, Lehman collaborated with Sengalese rapper Gaston Bandinic and American rapper High Priest of Antipop Consortium to make Sélébéyone. Over a standard hip-hop beat, the rappers and jazz saxophonist participate in a complex, interwoven duet that will translate into an energetic live show. Henry Grimes at the Bijou Theatre - 9 p.m. Grimes rose and played with many of the greats of the avant jazz era of the 1960s, but then the bassist disappeared in the 1970s and was largely believed to be dead. When he resurfaced to the music scene in the early 2000s, his earlier fans were thrilled to discover both Grimes and his talent were very much alive. He will be performing with his bandmates at this years festival as a jazz quartet. DJ/Rupture at The Standard - 11:30 p.m. OR Live improvised score to “No Country For Old Men” featuring Dave Harrington Group at the Tennessee Theatre - 12 p.m. Not your standard DJ, Jace Clayton mixes club hits, classic hip-hop and soul and classical music with local recordings he has collected in travels across the world. This interesting chimeric style of DJing has earned Clayton many fans and his own radio show “Mudd Up!” Clayton’s
performance will raise your energy and provide a transition into your late night plans. Alternatively, if you’re ready to wind down for the night, then settle in for a showing of “No Country For Old Men,” accompanied by a live improvised score led by the Dave Harrington Group. Harrington will use drones, electronica, free improvisation and classic soundtrack music to follow along with the movie through music. Deerhoof at the Mill & Mine - 12:30 p.m. This rock group brings a more straightforward rock vibe than some of the other bands of the festival and features a gritty, raw sound. Their high-tempo tracks will make this a late night concert that you can dance to all night
Sunday, March 26: The Magnetic Fields “Fifty Song Memoir” (Part 2) at the Tennessee Theatre - 1 p.m. Even though you missed the first part of this semi-autobiographical album, indie rock band The Magnetic Fields’ performance is sure to impress. In his newest album, lead Stephin Merritt sings his way through all 50 years of his life, so with part two, you can expect to leap in at the beginning of the 1990s and follow through to present day. Henry Threadgill’s Zooid at the Bijou Theatre - 7:30 p.m. Threadgill has been challenging the definition of jazz since the 1970s, and in 2016, he won the Pulitzer Prize for music with his latest album, “In for a Penny, In for a Pound.” He produced this album with his quintet Zooid, who will also perform with him on Sunday night. Threadgill’s approachable form of improv, avant-garde jazz should be entertaining for even a novice jazz listener. Xiu Xiu at the Mill & Mine - 10 p.m. This punk-rock-esque group has been founding member Jamie Stewart’s emotional outlet since 2002. Although they have produced a smattering of acoustic or pop songs, Xiu Xiu primarily delivers heavy lyrics with even more hard hitting chords. This alternative rock outfit is the perfect way to end the weekend on a high note and dance it out one more time.

Eclectic music festival comes to Knoxville Staff Report
In 2009, Ashley Capps, founder of AC Entertainment, brought 20 avant-garde musicians to Knoxville for the inaugural Big Ears Festival. This year, the festival will offer more than 80 musicians along with film screenings, art installations, workshops, speakers and experiences across downtown from March 23-26. As the name implies, Big Ears caters to music fans with an appetite for the outlandish, bold and diverse. The festival includes performers from a variety of genres, including indie rock, metal, alternative, jazz, classical music, minimalist music and electronica. In the past, it has showcased performers such as Philip Glass, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, St. Vincent, Vampire Weekend and Marc Ribot. This year’s lineup includes internationally renowned jazz pianist and composer Carla Bley and rock band Wilco along with a series of films by Jonathan Demme, who is known for directing “Silence of the Lambs” and “Philadelphia.” In addition to artist discussions, panels, Q&A’s and pop-up events courtesy of local businesses, Big Ears will host a spoken word expo, a video art exhibition at the UT Downtown Gallery and a series of “secret shows” this year. The “secret shows” will feature artists who will remain undis-
closed until showtime. According to its website, Big Ears promotes a “never-ending adventure of artistic creation and exploration” for attendees. Although that might be true going forward, the festival hit a few bumps in the road after its 2009 inception. After its second edition in 2010, where it expanded to include a film portion of the festival and an artist-in-residence, Big Ears began planning a 2011 festival for early the next year. However, scheduling conflicts forced AC Entertainment to postpone the festival, and, eventually, they cancelled it altogether. It wasn’t until 2013 that Ashley Capps decided to revive Knoxville’s celebration of the avant-garde. Since 2014, Big Ears has returned each year with a more expansive lineup and continues to draw large crowds of both local and international fans. The sixth edition of Big Ears will begin on Thursday, March 23, with a launch party at the Mill & Mine from 5 -5:45 p.m. The festival will continue over the weekend with events at eight venues over the downtown area, including the Tennessee Theatre, Bijou Theatre, the Mill & Mine, The Standard and The Square Room. General admission tickets are still available for each day of the festival from $49.50-$89.50 plus fees. General weekend passes start at $175 plus fees. More information can be found at bigearsfestival.com.

SGA candidates debut at College Republicans meeting Chris Salvemini Staff Writer
The first lap of the SGA candidate race was finished on Wednesday, March 22, when candidates spoke with the College Republicans about their campaigns and stances on campus issues. Student Services Director candidate Hunter Jones and Student Body President candidate Morgan Hartgrove spoke. Presidental candidate Phillip Newsom and vice presidential candidate Emily Dickey also spoke. Finally, Presidental candidate Beverly Banks and vice presidental candidate Kiersten Marsh spoke. The candidates introduced their campaigns before taking questions from the audience. Banks and Marsh described their campaign as fun and serious with the acronym LIT. “It stands for leadership, integrity and teamwork,” Banks said to the audience. “The first part of that is leadership, so what we’ve seen in SGA this year is that a lot of people feel left out, left behind, and there is miscommunication ... What we want to do is bring it back to where we started and look at the Volunteer spirit and what it means to pass the torch to different students on campus.” Marsh said the campaign would
approach integrity by promising to not overpromise. They said they would tackle lowering prices in POD Markets and keeping open communication but feel that guaranteeing a wet campus or changing meal plans would not be accomplishable. Finally, the Banks and Marsh campaign said they would strive to unite the campus to create policies together. “Part of the overarching goal we have is to create a culture change on campus,” Marsh said. “We want to be able to have the tough discussions, the discussions where both sides of the spectrum come together and have an honest debate.” When asked about student carry permits on campus, Banks and Marsh agreed to work with the student body to craft policies on it. On diversity, Banks and Marsh agreed to first define it in solid terms and involve campus organizations on making it a forefront concern. “Everyone is diverse. I think sometimes diversity is put in this box and only certain people are diverse,” Marsh said. “That’s not true. Everyone is diverse based on your background, who your parents are, where you come from, where you live. It all makes us diverse.” Jones and Hartgrove spoke about five overarching goals of their campaign. First, they said they would want to provide academic resources at little to no cost. Second, they said they would work to improve safety on campus through
methods such as reduced costs for Uber rides for UT students near campus. Third, they said they would focus on promoting campus unity. “This year, we’re starting Orange and White Week with a creed day,” Hartgrove said. “It’s where we’re honoring the Torchbearer creed for what it is ... I want to expand that into a creed week. That way, in the fall, every incoming student knows what it means to live by the Torchbearer.” Fourth, the students said they would improve the student conduct process by ensuring consistency throughout each step and making the conduct policy less punitive and more educational. Lastly, the campaign said they would make campus services available during the summer that are currently inaccessible to students taking less than eight class hours. On student carry permits, Jones and Hartgrove suggested that veterans should be allowed to carry weapons. On diversity, Jones and Hartgrove said they would focus on bringing campus together to discuss issues related to it. “We do better as people and a university when we promote those different opinions,” Hartgrove said. The Newsom and Dickey campaign, Unite UT, spoke last and promised to fix their belief that most opinions are not being heard on campus. They said SGA should play a uniting role on campus.
“Any government should be something that unites people,” Dickey said. “Student government should be there for any problems or concerns, and it should be just as easy as walking up to a classmate.” Newsom has been involved in rewriting the student code of conduct policy which includes guidelines for future alcohol policy changes and said he has worked on an alcohol policy that designates 22 wet spots on campus. Dickey said all policies they will propose are ones they have worked on but not seen implemented. Some include a real meal equivalency policy, a freshman guide and carpool parking passes. Regarding student carry permits, the candidates suggested a mandatory mental health exam before being allowed to carry. “We want student government to be something where people, if they feel persecuted or don’t feel comfortable with something on campus, we want them to come to us,” Newsom said. “We can send them to the resources we offer ... so that they do feel comfortable.” Nearly all candidates agreed the most pressing issue on campus is to fix divides among students. Elections and formal campaigning will begin on April 10.
Office of Communications and Marketing wins advertising awards Annie Tieu
Asst. News Editor
The Creative Communications team in the Office of Communications and Marketing won nine awards at the annual American Advertising Awards Gala on Feb. 25 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Knoxville. The creative team manages UT’s core website and social media accounts, and they also produce several magazines and newsletters, like the Torchbearer magazine and Quest research magazine. The team won gold for four projects at the ‘80s-themed event. The 2016-2017 Make Orange Green calendar won under the category of public service for the Office of Sustainability. The Big Orange Give Campaign took gold for online and interactive campaigns. The team’s video, Big Orange. Big Ideas. Rocky Top, won for
television advertising and public service television. The UT College of Architecture and Design Annual Report won gold and was named as best in the category of public service for their client, UT College of Architecture and Design. Three projects won silver: the Torchbearer cover of fall 2016 for collateral material, UT Admissions Viewbook for public service and Building on Tradition: Chancellor’s 2015 Annual Report for public service. Lastly, two projects won bronze: Quest research magazine’s New Elements in the category of photography and the Elements of Advertising and Volunteers Make a Difference video series won under the television advertising and public service television category. While these projects were recognized as advertising awards, they encompass more than just advertisements.
“It’s called the advertising awards, but so much of what we do, we don’t consider advertising,” Angela Dobbs, Assistant Director of Creative Communications, said. “We’re more marketing and promotional materials.” For these pieces, a number of different people work on them, from editors to web designers to producers. Christie Kennedy, Engineering Communications Director at the Tickle College of Engineering and former senior project manager at Creative Communications, contributed to the 20162017 Make Orange Green calendar and the Chancellor’s 2015 Annual Report. “Regarding the calendar, we worked closely with the UT Office of Sustainability to create a piece that would benefit our campus community by providing useful calendar information combined with useful and fun tips on how to live more sustainably, both on and away from cam-
pus,” Kennedy said. “A lot of work went into it, and I’m incredibly proud of the piece. The Chancellor’s Annual Report is ... a beautiful piece that I’m also incredibly proud of. While I was at (the Office of Communications and Marketing) I really enjoyed telling the story of our campus to our constituents. “It’s personally and professionally very rewarding to know our work achieved acclaim and recognition by our industry colleagues.” Overall, the awards are part of a national competition, and the gala held in February was at the regional level of the competition. Projects that have won gold are automatically sent to the next level. “It’s always nice to get recognized by your peers for the work that you’ve done,” Dobbs said. “That’s always nice to show to the upper administration that we do good work and that we do quality work and that it’s been recognized.”

EVENT PARKING continued from Page 1 Parking and Transit sees event parking as an opportunity to host people on campus who wouldn’t usually come to UT and to reach out to the next generation of students, while keeping in mind current students’ daily activities. “Our first priority is academic, daily activities and trying to make sure that we are on track and that an event doesn’t take over the campus to the detriment of the academics,” Bidner said. Survey responses, however, showed that roughly half of respondents’ classes or campus jobs had been disrupted due to parking on campus during an event. “I could not park anywhere near my class because you had to have an event pass for the lot,” a survey respondent said. “I was not ever notified that parking would change due to this event and was late for a test because I had to park on the other side of campus.” 68.6 percent of survey respondents marked that they need to park on campus during an event every week, with the majority stating their reasons as “I have class” or “I need to
study.” With major lots like G10, C6 and C8 (the lots around Circle Park and in front of ThompsonBoling Arena) as well as Staff Lot 9 being blocked off for events, students find themselves parking across campus, or in-worst case scenarios, not parking at all. “There was nowhere to park, and with no warning, (I) had to skip class,” a respondent said. Not every lot is affected during special events, the White Avenue and 11th Street garages are designated for student parking during events, and Parking and Transit have maps and brochures indicating other lots for students and staff to park in during basketball games or other events. “If a student has a class in Haslam, and they want to park in Staff 9 after 5 o’clock; but we have a basketball game, we’ve got the state spelling bee, we’ve got three other thing going on ... They could park other places and not have to pay,” Bidner said. “The challenge is people get frustrated because it’s not always the most convenient.” Frustrated is one way to put it, according to several survey responses detailing interactions
with parking lot attendants during events. “The parking attendant told me during a circus event on campus that I couldn’t park anywhere and needed to go back home,” a respondent said. “I stopped to ask a parking attendant where I could park and he told me to ‘just park on the street somewhere, if you get a ticket it’s just $20,’” another respondent said. “One time, I had an orange shirt on, and the parking attendant thought I was just parking to go to the basketball game and refused to let me park in the garage if I didn’t pay,” a third respondent said. Parking lot attendants are hired by Parking and Transit each year for various athletic, academic and miscellaneous events. The attendants undergo formal training where they watch a power-point presentation and receive customer service training. Before events, attendants clock in at Parking and Transit’s office and receive information on the event they’re working. Still, altercations between those looking to park in a lot and a parking attendant can occur. One survey respondent claimed that an attendant had struck his hood when he could not back up due to another car being behind him.

“We have never gotten a police report on (an altercation), because we would absolutely stop that,” Bidner said. “But, we have never, ever heard that. So we would like dates, times, lots, because we would definitely look into that.” Altercations and rude interactions are not the root of the problem, but a lack of communication, many respondents said. Currently, there is no successful system in place to alert permit holders when parking lots will be used for event parking, and often survey respondents were unaware they couldn’t park until they were turned away. “I pay nearly $200 to be allowed to park on campus. It is absurd that for my evening and Saturday classes Parking Services is allowed to sell my spot simply for event attendance. They make it seem as if they care more about their profit than my education. If this is going to continue, Parking Services should be required to notify students through email or a constantly updated website what garages/lots will be closed and when.” If you wish to report an incident with a parking lot attendant or give alternative feedback, you can contact Parking and Transit at parking@utk.edu.

FOOTBALL
Guarantano looking to steal show, starting job at spring practice Rob Harvey
Asst. Sports Editor As the Tennessee football team took the field for their first spring practice on Tuesday afternoon, March 21, things were different. Josh Dobbs, who had become a norm on the practice field over the past four years, was not present. Having finished his Tennessee career this past January, he passed down the role of starting quarterback to five players who will compete for that spot. Jarrett Guarantano is one of the two early favorites for the starting position along with junior Quinten Dormady. While some might treat this as a competition, Guarantano sees Dormady — along with other competing quarterbacks Sheriron Jones, Zac Jancek and Will McBride — as friends who can benefit from one another. Guarantano, a native of Oradell, New Jersey,
came out of high school as a four-star dual-threat quarterback. Guarantano chose the Vols over Ohio State, Rutgers and Florida despite knowing that he would have to sit out a year with Dobbs as the starting quarterback at the time. While he did sit out last year, Guarantano got to benefit from something he would not have gotten anywhere else. He got to watch and learn from Dobbs for a year. “Josh helped me out more than anybody could have,� Guarantano said. “I think he was the best quarterback for that job, helping me out. I was able to watch all the ups and downs of the season. I was able to watch how he reacted to different things. He had a great season last year. He was able to throw the ball well and run the ball well. And I think that all of those type of things helped me prepare for this upcoming season.� With that year under his belt, Guarantano understands what a quarterback at Tennessee goes through on a daily basis and knows his
every move is being watched. “Yeah, every single step is watched,� Guarantano said. “I go to class; I’m being watched. I’m on Twitter; I’m being watched. I’m on Instagram. But that’s what comes with the job and being the quarterback at a big university — a university that’s soon to be the SEC Champions, and it’s going to be even crazier in the future.� To improve his game this season, Guarantano followed in Dobbs’ footsteps and sought out quarterback guru George Whitfield over spring break to help improve. “It was great. He’s a great guy, great coach and great teacher,� Guarantano said. “I had a great time. I think I learned a lot of foot work, a lot of balance type of things. He definitely helped my game out.� As spring and fall practices go on, head coach Butch Jones is looking for a specific quality out of Guarantano and the rest of the quarterbacks. “From a quarterback perspective, it comes
down to consistency,� Jones said on Monday. “Consistency and performance every single day. You can never be too high or too low. Individuals who can manage our offense and get us in the appropriate plays, leadership that is associated with playing the quarterback position. “I would say the big thing is going to be consistency day in and day out and competing. I think when you compete on a daily basis you are going improve each and every day. We want to see constant growth and improvement.� The job is not a given for Guarantano, Dormady is older and has college playing experience; however, Guarantano is already looking forward to Sept. 4. “You always want to look forward,� he said. “I always catch myself looking at Georgia Tech and that new Atlanta dome, but I know that each day is a blessing, and I know each day I have to come out and get better, better myself and my teammates.�

Pitching staff comes through in Vols win
Damichael Cole Contributor
After giving up three hits through the first three innings, the Vols pitching staff silenced the Marshall Thundering Herd’s bats. Marshall didn’t record another hit after the third inning of Wednesday night’s game and had only one runner get in scoring position. The strong pitching effort by the staff led the Vols (13-5, 0-3 SEC) to a 7-1 win over Marshall (10-8, 2-1). “I thought we competed well, I thought the bullpen threw well and I thought Danny (Daniel Vasquez) threw well,” head coach Dave Serrano said. “He wasn’t committing to some pitches early. He got some pitches elevated but I like the way we pitched.” Vasquez earned his first start of the season and pitched well, pitching three innings, giving up three hits and one run while striking out four batters. After his three innings, the Vols bullpen closed the game on a high note. Connor Darling, who picked up his first win of the season, along with Kyle Serrano, Will Heflin and Jon Lipinski, combined to pitch six
innings of no-hit ball. Heflin allowed two walks and Lipinski allowed one, but those were the only runners to reach base. “The two walks by Helfin and Lipinski in the ninth, those kinds of things bother me a little bit because I don’t want to walk anybody,” Dave Serrano said. Coming into the game, Andre Lipcius, Jordan Rodgers and Jeff Moberg all had multi-game streaks of reaching base safely. Moberg and Rodgers took care of their streak early in the game, but it wasn’t until the 8th inning that Andre Lipcius hit a rocket up the middle to extend his reach base safely streak to 18 games. Rodgers extended his reach base safely streak to 17 games after he put together another great day at the plate. He went 3-3 with two doubles and scored twice on the day. He now has the team lead in RBI’s with 16 and a batting average of .429. “Just trying to have team at-bats put together, see a lot of pitches and just stay within myself and let my ability take over,” Rodgers said after the game. As a team, the bats were somewhat quiet until their last chance to make something happen. In the 8th inning, Tennessee plated four runs after scoring just three up to that point.

After Lipcius drove in Rodgers, Dom Thornton had a bases-clearing double that drove in three runners to break the game open. For the inning, Tennessee brought eight batters to the plate and had already scored their four runs before getting a single man out. The most underrated at-bat in the eighth might have come right before Thornton’s big hit. Benito Sanitiago put together a tough at-bat that led to a walk and loaded the bases for Thornton. “You see, Benito before me he had a wonderful at-bat that set the table for me and I just tried to get a good pitch and drive it and it turned it pretty good,” Thornton said.
As a team, eight of the nine batters in the starting lineup reached base, including five doubles. While the team put together a good overall day compiling 10 hits and seven runs, Dave Serrano still wants to see more from his offense going forward. “I think we need to continue to work offensively to drive some balls more,” Dave Serrano said. This weekend, the Vols will be heading to Starkville for a weekend series with Mississippi State (12-10, 0-3).
