Behind the scenes at Smokey’s Closet ARIA SKYLER Contributor

Since 2016, Smokey’s Closet has been an important and helpful resource to UT’s students.

The store, which functions as an on-campus retail store, provides professional clothing — from tops to pants to ties — completely free to students in need.

While in the past it has been located at Dunford Hall, the store recently moved to the bottom floor of Greve Hall, next to the post office.

The store is now open every Friday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“I think it moved here because a lot of students come in here for different reasons and know what Greve (Hall) is, so it’s a more convenient location,” Taylor Jefferson, freshman in communications and an employee at Smokey’s Closet, said.

It’s very simple for students to get clothes from Smokey’s Closet; all a student has to do is fill out a form and pick out what they like.

The employees in the shop are ready and willing to walk students through every step of the process.

The organization receives donations of clothing mostly from professors and teaching assistants at the university, Jefferson said.

“We’d like to branch out into private companies,” Noah Dunlap, director of Smokey’s Closet, said. “However, we have not explored this option yet because we are very full on inventory at the moment and need to give clothes away before we start collecting more.”

All the extra clothes are housed in a separate room where they are sorted through before being brought out for students to choose from.

Smokey’s Closet is a collaboration between

Student Government, which oversees weekly operations, and the Center for Career Development, which manages the larger events like pop-up shops.

The Center for Career Development also helps connect Smokey’s Closet with corporate retailers like Men’s Warehouse and JCPenney, which then bring employees to the pop-ups to help with sizing and dress options.

UT awarded Campus of the Year for the Healthier Tennessee Initiative by Governor’s Foundation ABDULLAH SALIM Contributor

UT was recently awarded Campus of the Year for the Healthier Tennessee Initiative, the highest honor given to a campus community participating in the Healthier Tennessee program.

The program is an initiative founded by the Governor’s Foundation for health and wellness with the goal of increasing physical activity, promoting healthier diets and reducing tobacco usage in communities across Tennessee.

This state wide initiative accomplishes these goals by encouraging the partnership of a wide range of institutions ranging from employers to schools to health institutions in order to tackle the related issues all over Tennessee.

UTK, which has a number of projects and initiatives aimed at improving health and wellness both on campus and in the surrounding communities, was nominated to receive the Healthier Tennessee Community of the Year award and ultimately won the Campus of the Year award.

Nevertheless, this award highlights the excellent work that the UT community, specifically the Division of Student Life, has dedicated

United for Students leads protest, calls state legislation to have voices heard GABRIELA SZYMANOWSKA Campus News Editor The rain and cold might have dampened the atmosphere on campus, but it did not dampen the voices of students as they protested on Ped Walkway Friday in light of several recent events.

A newly formed organization, United for Students, started a week ago as United for Student Programming following the Comptroller’s report about Sex Week and re-allocating funds for student programming.

The organization tweeted on Tuesday, Feb. 26 that they would take a stance against the Comptroller’s report.

However, with the photo of two UT students wearing blackface circulating around campus on Thursday, United for Students opened the scope of the protest “to address the issues of a complicit administration and the presence of bigotry and willful ignorance while simultaneously supporting marginalized members of our campus community,” according to another tweet.

Caitlin Lloyd, senior in college scholars program and co-founder of United for Students, explained that the protest was about making students’ voices heard to enact change.

“It’s important that we unite in the front of making voices heard on our campus, because otherwise we’d never be listened to,” Lloyd said.

The protest started next to the Whirlwind of Opportunity sculpture where students, faculty and staff shared their views before the march. One after another, students, faculty and staff mounted a small wall to be seen over the growing crowd of umbrellas, expressing their disdain for the lack of action on part of the administration.

Melody Banks, senior in sociology and Africana studies and president the Black Student Union and the UTK chapter of the National Association for Colored Women’s Club, came to the protest because she said the issues are affecting everyone, including herself.

“I don’t want anyone to invalidate these people because we are emotional. These actions call for emotional responses and emotional responses can be rational, so I don’t want anyone to be ignored because they are angry or upset,” Banks said. “Those emotions are what are driving our energy and our passion to do something about what’s happened today, yesterday and the last four years honestly.”

Banks hoped that the administration will hear the concerns and know that the group is serious about change and that the protest

would unite the group and give some peace knowing there are others with them.

Mary McAlpin, French professor in the modern foreign language department and a member of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors, was asked by students to attend the protest to show support.

“The administrators and legislators know that students come and go, so I think it’s up to faculty to keep pushing helping students speak, because when students speak, the legislators listen,” McAlpin said.

McAlpin also represented the AAUP, whose executive board released a statement condemning the administration’s action of eliminating SPAC and supporting the right to free speech.

Justin Hill, sophomore in exploratory, stepped onto the wall to share how tired he was of what seems to be a repeating scenario.

“I’m sick and tired of knowing that my voice doesn’t matter. I’m sick and tired of knowing that administration doesn’t care,” Hill said in an interview. “I’m sick and tired of having to do things like this, seeing my friends be called names, seeing my friends be sad and crying because they know their voices don’t matter—feel broken. This instance is not just black people, not only the LGBTQ community ... just like everything.”

SEEED: Sustaining Knoxville’s future one seed at a time KENNEDY ELAINE SANDERS Contributor

A local organization is planting the seeds of a sustainable future.

Socially Equal Energy Efficient Development (SEEED) Knoxville is a nonprofit organization that focuses on creating environmentally-sustainable jobs for Knoxville residents. SEEED’s mission is to work toward environmental sustainability and ensure that Knoxville’s citydwellers can have sustainable jobs.

To improve employability, SEEED offers a career readiness program which is a nine week program of classes for innercity residents of Knoxville who are between the ages of 16 and 28. These classes, funded through partnerships with local affiliates, are free to attend.

Julia Schaefer, a junior studying kinesiology, has attended these career readiness workshops throughout her time at the university. She said that the classes create a healthier Knoxville community.

“Giving members of the community these opportunities is so important, because [they have] a great impact on not only the community but also on [participants’] personal health,” Schaefer said.

SEEED also has a community garden to address the long-term issue of Knoxville’s “food deserts” -- areas where healthy food is either unavailable or too expensive for many residents.

Cory Tacosik, a junior studying supply chain management, has had first-hand experience with community gardening. He said that community gardening had a huge positive impact on his family and their community.

“My great grandfather had a community

garden, and it was really helpful for him and people in his community to have this space to get food,” Tacosik said.

The community garden serves inner-city Knoxville through fruit trees, plants and garden beds. Community members may use this space to plant their own food and be able to learn more about growing their own food. SEEED hopes that by offering this space, community members will be able to develop gardening into a self-sustaining method of obtaining food.

“I think that this is a great opportunity for people to be part of this because it connects people to their community and gives them the opportunity to get more food,” said Tacosik of SEEED’s community garden.

Another of SEEED’s programs is called GreenCAP or Green Community Awareness Program. GreenCAP is used for outreach, education and marketing to residents in

low-income to moderate-income households. The program is a marketing venture to spread the mission and values of SEEED to residents who would otherwise be unaware of it.

The people working in GreenCAP are also from low-income and moderate-income households, because SEEED’s mission includes providing long-term employment to residents of these income demographics.

Volunteers seeking to become involved with SEEED find themselves with no shortage of ways to help. SEEED looks for career readiness instructors, canvassing team leaders, community gardeners, administrators, and cleaning and maintenance volunteers.

Those hoping to get connected with SEEED can learn more about the program at its website.

‘Something Rotten:’ Raunchy Shakespearian feud takes Knoxville to 1595 JAKE YODER Staff Writer

“God, I hate Shakespeare! That’s right, I said it!”

What happens when you take a Shakespeare play and add omelets and sex jokes?

You get “Something Rotten,” the newest touring Broadway show to make its way to Knoxville at the Tennessee Theatre.

This musical sets its scene in 1595, and William Shakespeare is the most popular thing to ever hit England. Nick Bottom and his brother Nigel are two struggling playwrights who only dream of the success that Shakespeare has garnered. When his latest play loses its funding, Nick seeks out a soothsayer to try and find out what the next big thing in theatre will be so he can finally beat Shakespeare.

“Something Rotten” debuted in 2015 on Broadway to critical acclaim, garnering nine Tony nominations, including best musical. Does the touring version measure up to the original production’s quality?

“Something Rotten” was an absolute blast to watch. As a fan of the original production, I was nervous going in, but I was not let down.

Almost the entire cast is absolutely fantastic. Matthew Michael Janisse is amazing as Nick Bottom, the show’s leading man.

His voice and comedic timing were fantastic, and I never got tired of seeing him on stage.

Matthew Baker is hilarious as Shakespeare, effortlessly turning history’s most famous playwright into one of the most charming antagonists that I’ve seen in recent theatre.

Supporting characters, like Richard Spitaletta as Nigel Bottom and Greg Kalafatas as Thomas Nostradamus, backed the leads with solid performances. Spitaletta makes Nigel one of the most likeable supporting characters in musical history, making the audience fall in love with him quickly. Kalafatas leads the ensemble in an extraordinary performance of the song “A Musical,” which received a standing ovation.

The female leads were hit or miss, with Jennifer Elizabeth Smith giving a strong performance as Nigel’s star-crossed lover and Emily Kristen Morris giving a lessthan-stellar performance as Bea, Nick’s wife. Smith was an absolute joy, matching the level of talent of the rest of the cast.

Morris, however, seemed to be having an off night, not landing a few notes and even missing a few lines in her solo, “Right Hand

“Something Rotten,” a musical comedy opened at the Tennessee Theatre on March 1st, 2019.

Courtesy of the Tennessee Theatre Man.” The costumes looked amazing, ranging anywhere from bedazzled versions of typical Renaissance attire to giant egg suits.

No matter what the cast was wearing, they looked fantastic.

The lights and sound people at the Tennessee Theatre also seemed to be having an off night. A few of the spotlights were noticeably shaky at certain points during the production which really took away from the play. Also, one of the actor’s microphones didn’t turn on during one of their parts,

making it impossible to hear them.

“Something Rotten” is a play tailormade for fans of Shakespeare and musical theater. If you go into the show with little or no knowledge about either genre, you will miss many of the jokes.

While it wasn’t perfect, “Something Rotten” was one of the most fun times I have ever had in a theatre. The tour’s cast elevates the stellar script and songs of the play, and the end result is a show that both Shakespeare fans and musical theatre nerds will not want to miss.

Ask a Scientist: Are we really alone in this universe?

LUCAS MCCLURE Junior studying physics

Learning about the Earth’s place in the universe has been quite the humbling experience for the human race.

After discovering the Sun is the center of the Solar System, we found that our Sun is just one of hundreds of billions in the Milky Way galaxy, which coexists with trillions of other galaxies.

To top it off, all the stuff in the cosmos is nearly 14 billion years old, including the cosmically-abundant components for life. Despite these odds, we have yet to make contact with anything like life on Earth.

So, are we really alone in the universe? And if not, why haven’t we seen any aliens yet?

Unpacking these questions of alien life has been a daunting and speculative endeavor that compels humanity to not only ponder the cosmos, but ourselves. This idea of intelligent life, or absence of it, is so perplexing that it’s actually created a conundrum known as the Fermi Paradox .

First, it will help to figure out what tools we have to find extraterrestrial life.

In finding simple or complex alien life, our options are vast. The study of the possibility of

any alien life – known as astrobiology – involves researchers of various fields. Astrobiological research depends largely on studying our own Solar System and, in particular, the search for water within it.

So far, we’ve had many promising discoveries of water within the Solar System, though nothing conclusive about aliens. Recently, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, with a mission team including UTK faculty, visited a nearEarth asteroid named Bennu. A recent discovery about Bennu’s surface provided evidence that it once held water, as that is the only known means by which some of its composition can be explained. Water-ice has also been detected on the Martian poles and the surfaces of comets, and evidence suggests that there is an ocean below the surface Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.

Europa is gravitationally heated by Jupiter and covered by a thick surface of ice. Together, these factors may render an environment suitable for life by creating a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Searching for lifeforms on this world – and worlds alike – is of top priority for astrobiologists.

But what about intelligent species? The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute has spent decades listening for cosmic radio transmissions in search of possible signals sent by beings that are “intelligent” enough to do so.

So far, they haven’t found anything conclusive.

Which begs the question: Why not? Perhaps life does not favor intelligence.

Even though we do not have any evidence for intelligent lifeforms, we can still study the probability of undiscovered civilizations out there.

Almost 60 years ago, Dr. Frank Drake of the SETI Institute developed a mathematical framework to study the probability of alien life.

Aptly named the Drake Equation, this insightful approximation provides an estimate for the number of “intelligent” species in the galaxy, capable of interstellar communication.

The equation accounts for seven specific factors, ranging from the number of stars in the galaxy to the number of life-bearing planets around those stars. The values for some of these factors have more evidence than others. For example, NASA’s Kepler and K2 missions have provided accurate estimates for the number of planets in the galaxy, namely Earth-like worlds that make up a substantial portion of the total number of planets detected.

These worlds must have been found in habitable zones around a star, wherein liquid water can exist. However, the equation also involves more speculative factors, like the number of worlds with intelligent life and the duration of a civilization. Sociological and anthropological

considerations are incredibly important when pondering the lifetime of an intelligent species, the last factor of the Drake Equation. And those are much more complex and nuanced.

When it comes to the possibility of “intelligent” alien life, speculations intensify and often lead to unsettling conclusions. Despite searching through the vastness of the cosmos, we still haven’t found anything, which once again connects back to the Fermi Paradox. One explanation, and perhaps the one which we should pay the most attention, suggests that we’re in big trouble, be it from our own hands or something else’s.

Notebook: Vols flip script on Kentucky in blowout win BLAKE VON HAGEN Sports Editor

In a game where No. 7 Tennessee needed its best effort to stay alive in the SEC Regular Season Championship hunt, the Vols responded with exactly that.

Controlling the game nearly from the onset in front of a sold-out Thompson-Boling Arena, Tennessee coasted to a 71-52 win over the Wildcats.

Here are three takeaways from Saturday’s game:

Bone controls tempo Head coach Rick Barnes was notoriously upset with Jordan Bone’s performance against Kentucky at Rupp Arena.

Bone came out like a man on a mission this time around, leading Tennessee with a career high 27 points on 11 of 15 shooting. He drilled all five of his 3-point attempts.

“He logged a lot of minutes in December and I think it helped him,” Barnes said. “I think those minutes have been really valuable to him…you can just tell where he is managing

the game. He did some things on his own out there today where he caused some things and had a real feel for his teammates.”

His 12 first half points led all scorers. Bone also recorded three rebounds and dished out three assists.

“Just to be able to knock down those shots at home like this, it means a lot,” Bone said.

“I’m going to continue to do what I do, just going to continue to work and hopefully it’s going to continue to show up at the right

Defense, defense and more defense time.”

Defense—or lack thereof—has been one of the few flaws of this Vols team.

You wouldn’t know it by watching their performance on Saturday, however. Kentucky was held to a 14-of-44 shooting effort, including a 5-of-19 mark from beyond the 3-point line.

“I thought we came up with our best defensive game against Ole Miss,” Barnes said.

“And again today, we were really good defensively.”

“Defensively, obviously PJ Washington is a terrific player,” Barnes said. “We felt like we had to really work hard to limit space for him.

Foul trouble changes everything and we know that.”

Tyler Herro finished the game 2-of-11 and

Keldon Johnson finished 2-of-9. The Wildcats also turned the ball over 17 times.

“More than anything we want to have fun,” Bone said. “We really got back to having fun.

We are going to feed off of certain plays that we make for each other.”

Tennessee men’s tennis suffers second loss of season BARRETT WALKER Contributor

The Tennessee men’s tennis team was defeated by Georgia, 4-2, at Barksdale Stadium on Friday night.

Tennessee fell to 9-2 and Georgia improved to 5-3 after Friday’s play.

In doubles, Timo Stodder and Preston Touliatos defeated Robert Loeb and Jan Zielinski, 6-2, but Georgia’s Walker Duncan and Emil Reinberg beat Tennessee’s Pat Harper and Adam Walton, 6-3.

The Bulldogs took the final match as Trent Bryde and Phillip Henning defeated Andrew Rogers and Martim Prata, 6-1, and Georgia went into singles play with a 1-0 lead.

Singles posed a challenge for the Vols, as Georgia brought four of the top 125 ranked singles players in No. 5 Zielinski, No. 19 Reinberg, No. 85 Henning, and No. 110 Loeb. Five of the six singles matches went to three sets.

Zielinski was the only one to lose, as No. 113 Stodder took him the distance. After falling in the first set, 4-6, Stodder took the second set and pushed the match to the tie breaker. He won the tiebreaker, 7-3, and won the match

4-6, 6-4, 7-6.

“The last couple weeks I have been struggling a lot with finishing, with staying in there and with staying positive. Today I was just really focusing on that,” Stodder said. “It was a really great confidence booster for me after getting that win. I’ve been up there once before, up in the top 10, top 20, and now I’m 100 or something, so it has been really great to just compete with the best again and to get that win.”

Georgia took the first singles point with Loeb beating Prata, 6-1, 6-2, but after that match, Georgia had to earn all of its points.

In his first set, Scott Jones took Bryde the distance, but fell, 7-6. He then lost the second set, 6-4. Touliatos lost his first set to Henning, 3-6, but dominated in his second set, winning 6-1. Touliatos took Bryde to the tiebreaker but fell, 2-7, and dropped the final set, 6-7.

“I think we came out very slow, I think we over respected them a bit at the start, but once we got our teeth into the match then we realized that we can do this,” assistant coach James McKie said of his team’s performance.

“We were right there all the way through, and I think that Georgia is very under-ranked. I think they are a very good team, especially
