Byrd soaring high as sophomore season approaches Cory Sanning
Staff Writer In the world of sports and in life, one of the most important aspects is speed. The same could be said for sophomore wide receiver Tyler Byrd. Entering his first session of spring practices with a season of experience already under his belt, the expectations surrounding Byrd grow as each day passes. While the Naples, Florida, native only amassed 15 receptions for 209 yards and no touchdowns as a freshman, his potential as a speedy threat on the outside continues to grow, and Byrd has already learned quite a bit from his time as a Vol.

“It’s insane. It’s a much different speed coming from high school to college,” Byrd said. “Everything went so quick, I had to depend on the older guys. They really helped me mature to the point where I can step up and be effective.” A former defensive standout, Byrd originally committed to the University of Miami before ultimately deciding to flip to UT. As a senior at Naples High, Byrd was named to the All-State Class 6A First Team while totaling 41 tackles, one interception and five passes defended as a cornerback. On offense, he was equally as effective, hauling in 36 total catches for 641 yards and nine touchdowns. The transition from one side of the ball to another was not always easy for Byrd, though. “It took me awhile to adjust to it,” Byrd said.
“Playing both ways and being primarily a defensive guy, it took me a moment to hone in on my abilities as a wide receiver.” With Josh Malone heading to the NFL and Jauan Jennings’s days as a Volunteer slowly but surely winding down, the battle at the receiver position has grown immensely, and at this point, every spot is up for grabs. Despite the competition and all the distractions, Byrd has remained even-keeled, working tirelessly to improve his game over the course of the offseason. “I’ve just been trying to work on the small things,” Byrd said. “Just trying to be myself as a football player and not go out there and think as much.” While Byrd’s numbers from last season certainly weren’t eye-popping, he had sever-

al impressive moments in his first season at Tennessee. Against Florida, he caught three passes for 40 yards, all three resulting in first downs. On the road against Texas A&M, Byrd hauled in three catches for a career-high 60 yards, his most impressive being a 43-yard gain that would set Tennessee up for the tying score while trailing 35-28 late in the fourth quarter. Byrd also tried his hand at returning, his most impressive effort coming against the Vanderbilt Commodores when he returned three kicks for 99 yards, including a 67-yarder. While the Vols have one of the younger receiving cores in the entire NCAA, head coach Butch Jones is certainly optimistic about this group. See FOOTBALL on Page 8

Religious leaders discuss religion, sexuality Kylie Hubbard Contributor
Five panelists of different faiths discussed the role religion plays in sexuality on Tuesday, April 5, at 5 p.m. in AMB as part of Sex Week programming. The event, titled “Religion and Sexuality,” featured Rev. RJ Powell of St. James Episcopal Church, Rabi Scott Saulson of Temple Beth El, Nadeem Siddiqi of the Muslim Annoor Mosque, Kelsey Ludvik of the Fellowship of Catholic Christian Students and Rev. Carol Bodeau of Westside Unitarian Universalist Church. UT’s student-run Sex Week is a week-long program to give students the ability to talk about sexual matters both in and out of a relationship and more serious matters like sexual assault. According to the Sex Week website, the religious panel is an annual favorite as students have the opportunity to understand how sexuality relates to religion. The panelists were given questions in pairs, which they discussed based on their own faith interpretations. The panel began with Powell and Saulson. Both covered topics such as premarital sex, same-sex sexuality, sex education and online sexual encounters.
When asked about premarital sex, Saulson claimed it is not wrong. He said that his principal guideline is to be fair and carried this theme throughout the discussion. “What is hateful to you, do not do or impose on others,” Saulson said. When discussing same-sex sexuality, Powell stated that our current understanding of a healthy relationship is different than that given in the Bible. “That has to be taken into consideration,” Powell said. “You can’t force doctrine and society to match up.” Regarding sexual education, Powell stated many churches are afraid to talk about sex but that his own church invests in the education of its children in many ways, including sexual education. The next section of the panel invited Siddiqi, Ludvik and Bodeau to discuss different topics. These three individuals tackled topics such as abortion, gender roles and transgender politics. Each panelist had different views regarding abortion, but all agreed on one point: the circumstance decides the standard for abortion. “You would never make an absolute judgment — yes, it’s right. No, it’s wrong,” Bodeau said. When asked about transgender politics, Lundvik said she believes man was created man and woman was created woman. She
then said the feelings transgender people have are not wrong. “The emotions (of transgender people) are not bad. The acting on the emotions is bad,” Lundvick said. Siddiqi countered Lundvick’s statement and said the Islamic belief is that being transgender is a biological entity, not a spiritual issue. Bodeau followed by referring to the advocacy efforts toward transgender rights within her church. The members of each panel joined together to form one panel for student questions at the conclusion of the event. David Wall, sophomore in nuclear engineering, expressed his admiration for the panel. “It was very interesting for sure, just to have all of these different religions and sects of the religions to be here,” Wall said. “It was definitely helpful.” Colleen Ryan, co-chair of the executive board for Sex Week, shared her hope that the religious panel — among other Sex Week events — continues. “I think some of our best events are events that give those tangibles and consent and communication, whether it is in a hook-up situation or a relationship,” Ryan said. “The panel gives that information from different denominations.” For more Sex Week events, visit sexweekut. org.

Sex Week hosts lecture on its history Charles Miller
Contributor
Attendees at the Sex Week event “HIST 69: The History of Sex Week” were taken to class to learn from organizers and professors about Sex Week. The event occurred on April 5 and featured speakers Brianna Rader, co-founder of Sex Week; Joan Heminway, a law professor; Elizabeth Stanfield, former co-chair of Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee and Mary McAlpin, a professor of French. The event was presented by SEAT and discussed how Sex Week became what it is today. SEAT was founded in 2011 by Rader and Jacob Clark, the other co-founder of SEAT. After noticing many of her fellow students didn’t know where to find birth control and overhearing a student was selling the drug Rohypnol, commonly known as roofies, to another student, an idea came to Rader. Finding inspiration from other universities with similar programs, Rader and

Dismantling racial biases, doing better
Peter Cates For Pete’s Sake
As I’m finishing up my thesis in the next week, I’m realizing that I have to confront the ways my research applies to my own life. I’m writing about Indigenous issues in the education system in Canada, and so the issue of racial visibility is coming up over and over again. See, unless my memory is failing me, except for two Native American teachers I’ve had in college, I’ve never had a nonwhite teacher or boss. That means never a black, Latino, Asian or Middle Eastern person in a direct position of authority over me. So for the last week I’ve been asking myself how this small realization has impacted the way I view race, and my reflection has made me a little uncomfortable. We all have subtly ingrained racism, and I’m owning mine so that I can start to dismantle it. In doing a little research, I quickly found that my experience isn’t unique. Roughly 80 percent of teachers are white, even though half of students are non-white. It’s no secret that exposing children to races other than their own decreases prejudice. In fact, according to a study by behavioral scientists Dr. Anna Doyle and Dr. Frances Aboud, one of the best ways to undo prejudice in children is to talk about race. This naturally happens when other races are visible to them. In an interview with the Atlantic, Juanita Douglas, a black teacher in Chicago, reveals that she’s the first black teacher most of her students have ever had. In her experience, she has students who try to connect with her over black pop cultural figures, like 2 Chainz, to which she responds, “I’m sorry, I’m 50 years old, and I don’t know who 2
“
Chainz is.” Douglas isn’t trying to reject a student who wants to connect, but it shows that for a student who has never been exposed to a non-white person of authority, their experiences with people of color are limited to media’s portrayal, which is often (always?) inaccurate. “I’m not black and cool … their image of black … I’m black and a teacher,” Douglas explained. This anecdote shows why it’s so important to have diverse representation for kids. It’s the same way that President Obama’s position of power mattered not only for the millions of black kids in this country to see someone who looks like them but also for the millions of white kids in this country to see someone who doesn’t. There isn’t enough space in my column for me to talk about the ways to increase racial literacy or how we systemically subvert hegemonic pedagogical paradigms in the education system (you are welcome to read my thesis, though). What I will say is that there has been both a lack of racial diversity in my education and a lack of racial diversity in my friendships and relationships, and I want to dismantle that. I want to unlearn the unconscious racism that keeps me from connecting to the black, Latino, Asian and Middle Eastern populations in my community. The first step is awareness; we can all stand to question our own prejudices. So here I am trying to acknowledge the ways the subtle racism in my head makes me worse and trying to become a little better.

Sex educator speaks on importance of loving yourself Allie Clouse
Staff Writer While Justin Bieber may have meant “go and love yourself” as an insult, Ashley Manta came to campus to tell students why it’s not. As part of Sex Week, hosted by the Campus Events Board, guest speaker and sex educator Manta came to campus on Tuesday, April 4. The Pennsylvania native now calls Southern California home where she advocates for both positive sex and the use of cannabis. Her mission has been to spread ideas like inclusiveness and personal growth across the country and to tear down stigmas against sex in our society. Manta navigates these topics in a fun, entertaining way and isn’t afraid to say the occasional swear word. Along with her title as a sex educator, Manta is also a writer, coach and facilitator. During her lecture, “Having an Affair With Yourself,” Manta spoke about body confidence, sexual empowerment and connection through stories of personal experience. The talk, how-
ever, did not just entail Manta standing at a podium and flipping through a slideshow. Rather, she encouraged open dialogue between audience members and asked them to share their feelings, questions and experiences with others. Of course, she did set guidelines for this sharing: “Don’t say ‘ew’ to someone’s ‘yum,’” own your experience and be honest. Audience members complied with Manta’s requests and stepped out of their comfort zones to participate in a uniquely free setting. Manta also spoke about her experience as a plus size woman living in Los Angeles. She shared that her own self-doubt led her to miss out on valuable opportunities both professionally and personally. In addition, Manta opened up about her genital herpes diagnosis and the difficulties that come with the stigma of STDs. Manta’s talk attracted a fair amount of listeners, including Crystal Marie Alberson, sophomore in theatre, who said she was surprised by the content of the lecture. “I honestly thought (the lecture) was going to be more frisky than ‘love yourself’, but once
she started going it was really nice to listen to everyone’s individual opinions and experiences on self-love,” Alberson said. She said that Manta’s personal approach to sexual education was different and refreshing. “I think that this event was perfect for Sex Week, because so often we think it is going to be about safety and ‘techniques,’” Alberson said. “This event brought importance to ourselves, and the idea that we deserve to be our own best partners.” Another audience member Evan Oliver, sophomore in psychology, works with CEB to plan events like Sex Week every year and said that he was glad Manta’s lecture was so impactful on the audience. “CEB chose her because we knew that she could offer some alternative ideas than what we are familiar with as a southern university. This event also touched on an often overlooked part of the sexual experience: self love,” Oliver said. “The content of her talk definitely made me think about the way I treat myself, and I could tell that others in the audience were influenced.”

Partners discuss polyamory, open relationships Jenna Butz
Arts & Culture Editor
For many people, dating looks like committing to a single person then breaking up and dating another person or getting married. However, sex experts and teachers Allison Moon and Reid Mihalko taught students how to negotiate open and polyamorous relationships and break the mold of traditional dating norms in their Sex Week talk “Open Minds, Open Hearts: The Handbook for Open and Polyamorous Relationships” on Wednesday, April 5. Before delving into the dynamics of and how to negotiate open or polyamorous relationships, Moon advised students to “take what works for you and chuck the rest.” The point of the talk, Moon said, was to help attendees to understand the different relationship structures outside of monogamy and challenge the traditional paradigm of societal expectations. “Our primary goal here is just to shorten your learning curve,” Moon said. “You are at a very interesting time in your life where you are young and probably trying on a lot of different kinds of relationships. You at a university surrounded by a lot of awesome, hot people doing a lot of awesome, hot things, and you have the opportunity now to start building structures around who you are and how you want relationships to work that can help you achieve successful, healthy relationships.”
While many attendees expressed wanting to start a conversation with their partners about having an open relationship or understanding how polyamory works from them, Mihalko also encouraged monogamous people to take his and Moon’s tips and tricks with them. “If you’re monogamous, take these healthy relationship ideas, and go date your species — go date other monogamous people,” Mihalko said. “I don’t think you should be trying to change anybody.” The idea of dating one’s species stuck around through the hour and a half talk. Repeatedly, the partners encouraged everyone else to date people who were willing to negotiate relationship structures instead of molding others or oneself into relationships that don’t make them happy. “I would rather be up front and honest with people and scare them away, then start a relationship and try to keep it together by wildling away at our own self-expressions and who we are,” Mihalko said. Finding those in one’s species also includes understanding what someone wants out of a relationship. There are win-wins, where a relationship just works better if this specific element is present for all parties, and deal breakers, where a relationship will end if this element is present. There’s also wiggle room, or things one isn’t thrilled about but wouldn’t leave the relationship over, and “three strikes,” like if smoking was a deal breaker for one of the partners and the other said they were trying to quit, if this goal wasn’t
being worked towards seriously, the relationship may end. These wants and needs of each partner work in any type of relationship, whether that’s monogamy or polyamory, but in open relationships specifically, Moon and Mihalko discussed “polyfits,” or different polyamorous relationship structures. There is pair-bonding, where two partners form a stable partnership but still have other partners outside of this primary. Other polyamorous partners make create a triad or quad in “fixed pairs” with two or three primary relationships, and these boundaries may be closed, meaning one or more of the partners do not date outside the fixed pair, or open, where one or more do date outside the pair. There are also “pod people,” which is like a committed group date and boundaries may be open or closed. Then, there is the “lone wolf,” where a person dates whoever with as much or as little commitment as they prefer. Moon and Mihalko stressed though that there are more structures and personalities than these, and that more than one can exist at a time. For example, Moon and Mihalko are a primary pair, but Mihalko also has his pod people, whereas Moon described herself as a lone wolf. “The main things to think about when you’re negotiating stuff with your potential partner: What do you need to feel seen, loved and cherished, and what makes you feel physically and emotionally safe?” Mihalko said. “Those are big questions, but when you can figure out how to
make someone feel loved, seen and cherished, even when you’re going and having your birthday party gangbang or something like that — people who feel loved, seen and cherished, when you’re the right fit species-wise, then you kind of get to do whatever you want. “I just need to make sure that Allison and I feel physically and emotionally safe.” The duo also discussed relationship anarchy, in which every relationship a person engages in holds the same importance to them — regardless of the presence of sex. “I think it’s a really cool way, particularly for including asexual people, aromantic people into understanding that these relationships are deeply valid as well,” Moon said. “You might not want to have sex with anyone, but your intimate relationships are just as valid as somebody who’s getting married or somebody who’s in a longterm, monogamous partnership.” Overall, both speakers encouraged attendees to try different structures, break rules and communicate with partners. It’s okay to not know everything, Mihalko said — questioning is a sign of learning “Life is about getting better at stuff, and mastery isn’t about perfection,” Mihalko said. “It’s about the turnaround time. How quickly do you realize ‘I shouldn’t be dating you,’ and then adjust, course correct. “Like a plane on autopilot is always changing directions and adjusting course to get where it needs to be. It’s not a straight shot ever.”

Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country star Alan Jackson, actor-singer-guitarist Jerry Reed and songwriter Don Schlitz will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame later this year. Their selection was announced Wednesday. Jackson, 58, from Newnan, Georgia, broke out in 1990 with his neo-traditional style of honky-tonk country music that earned him several multiplatinum records. His hit songs include “Chattahoochee,� ‘’She’s Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)� and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).� Jackson, with his signature white hat, said during the press conference that his dad’s wooden radio inspired him to write “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,� one of his first singles. The radio is now in an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, along with a pair of water skis he wore for the music video for “Chattahoochee.�
“I’ll be in the Hall of Fame with Daddy Gene’s radio and my water skis and some blue jeans with holes in them,� Jackson said. The singer-songwriter earned two Grammy Awards and was named entertainer of the year three times by the Country Music Association. Over the course of his 25-year career, he’s the second most nominated artist in CMA history with 81 nominations and has had more than 30 No. 1 country hits. “This is about the last dream on the list, right here,� Jackson said. Reed, from Atlanta, Georgia, became a popular country star in the 1960s with his fingerstyle picking that earned him the nickname “Guitar Man.� which became the title of one of his signature songs. His hits include Grammy-winning “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot� and “Amos Moses.� After regularly appearing on Glen Campbell’s TV show, he started a successful career in Hollywood. He starred opposite Burt Reynolds in the “Smokey and the Bandit� films and appeared in Adam Sandler’s “The Waterboy.�

WOMEN’S TENNIS
Women’s tennis team hits road to bounce back Cody Underwood Contributor
Unfinished matches have been the bane of the Tennessee women’s tennis team’s season so far. Last week against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs, the Vols had three players drop their matches to Bulldog players, which ultimately led to a loss. However, there were three other matches going on at the time of the match being called, and, in each one, the Vols had a player coming back or preparing to make a comeback. Head coach Alison Ojeda seems optimistic about this weekend despite last week’s loss and feels a comeback and strong finish to the end of the regular season is in the works. Ojeda was excited to see the amount of grit the women showed against Georgia last week, where Tennessee’s Eve Repic, among many others, pushed her match into a tiebreaker against No. 8 Elena Christofi before Georgia clinched. “Singles all across the board was extremely close, they’re (Georgia) a team that can win a national championship; and for us to be that
close in every single singles match, with one of our players out, is huge,” Ojeda said. This weekend, the Vols are set to take on their next SEC opponents and bounce back. No. 24 Tennessee (15-8, 2-7 SEC) will take up against No. 46 Missouri Friday, April 7, and No. 19 Arkansas Sunday, April 9. These matches will be the second to last matches until the end of the regular season. In terms of who to watch this weekend, the duo of Saddie Hammond and Gabby Schuck will provide a key matchup. “A duo in terms of doubles, I think it’s hard not to keep an eye on Sadie and Gabby; but, at the same time, our freshman are relentless right now,” Ojeda said. The freshmen Ojeda spoke off consist of Ariadna Riley, Schuck and Johanna Silva, and the trio has been a solid source of skill for the Vols this season. The three form a combined record of 38-31 in singles matchups and 40-36 in doubles matches. But the freshman aren’t the only ones succeeding on the court. For the seniors on the team, Repic and Brittany Lindl, the end of the regular season doesn’t seem to shape their

Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon attitude or affect their confidence going into the final matches here at UT. Lindl has a career record of 59-48 in singles and 34-51 in doubles while Repic is 72-57 in singles matches and 58-57 in doubles matches. With the season winding down, Lindl is confident that a win is imminent and that Tennessee can finish strong with the remaining schedule they have.
TRACK & FIELD
Vols look to break more records in Tennessee Relays Staff Report
Tennessee will be facing off against some solid competition this week in the 50th running of the Tennessee Relays this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 7-9. A total of 16 teams will make an appearance, including top-ranked men’s teams No. 15 Ole Miss and No.18 Virginia Tech, along with women’s top teams No. 3 Kentucky and No. 10 Florida State. Meanwhile, the Tennessee women are ranked No. 12 in the country and the men are at No. 14. The Volunteers look to continue their progress from last week, nabbing 13 personal records and eight top-five finishes. This will be Christian Coleman’s first appearance at Tennessee’s new track this outdoor season as he sets out to compete in the men’s 100m, 4x100m relay and the 4x400m relay. Coleman has been quite literally one of the best runners in the world over the course of the past year. He won the 60m dash at the NCAA Indoor National Championship meet by tying a collegiate record of 6.45 seconds. Coleman won the race by a .09 second margin, the largest margin of victory in NCAA Championship history. He also won the 200m by running the second-fastest time in collegiate history at 20.11, second to Wallace Spearmon’s 20.10 time in 2005.

“He’s ready to run, he’s chomping at the bit,” Beth Alford-Sullivan, director of track and field and cross country, said. Outside of Coleman, Stamatia Scarvelis and Cassie Wertman in women’s throws should also put on a good show this week. “Throwers are really hitting their stride right now,” Alford-Sullivan said. “Stamatia, outdoors is a triple threat between shot, the disc and the hammer, and Cassie is ranked No. 2 in the country right now, and she’s looking really good.” Scarvelis set a school record last week at the Florida Relays in the hammer throw with distance of 64.86m. Scarveils also came in the top-10 in the discus throw with a distance of
51.55m. Saturday’s meet will begin by recognizing the seven seniors on Tennessee’s squad as they will take part in their second to last meet in Knoxville this year. This year’s seniors include Chelsea Blaase in cross country and distance running, Candice Butler, Cassie Wertman and Cameron Brown in throws, Kali Davis-White in sprints and Rebecka Miranda and Brielyn Rogers in jumps and sprints. The multitude of events will begin Thursday, April 6, at 10 a.m. and will run until 9 p.m. Friday’s schedule looks similar with a start time of 10 a.m. lasting until 8 p.m., and Saturday will begin at 11:30 a.m. and go through 3:30 p.m.
“As seniors, we want to make this season really special but, we have treated every match the same way, and it will pay off at the end of the season,” Lindl said. “Every match you get to play at Tennessee is special. We’ve progressed as we’ve gone on and been improving on things since the start. “We just kind of keep building off that momentum.”
FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 “They’re a young group, a work-in-progress,” Jones said. “I thought we took a big step forward in the scrimmage in terms of details, and I enjoy working with that group.” Led by Jennings and Byrd, the Vols have both a speedster capable of stretching the field and taking the top off opposing defenses as well as a big, strong possession receiver able to make tough, contested catches as well as provide a complementary red zone threat to tight end Ethan Wolf. All of that, makes the losses of several key contributors comforting somewhat — at least coach Jones thinks so. “We have lost a lot of production, but that’s the exciting thing about college football,” Jones said. “Every year, a third of your roster turns over, and there’s new opportunities for everyone and chances for individuals to grow.” As for Byrd, it’s safe to assume he won’t be taking any reps on the defensive side of the ball any time soon, and it’s also safe to assume that he will be a big part of Tennessee’s offensive plans in the future. For now, however, it’s time to go to work, and the rest will only come with time. “Everybody is working really hard and giving their all for Tennessee right now,” Byrd said. “That’s all we can ask for. Guys who want to be out here and get better each and every day.”
