Motionhouse dives into success at Cox Auditorium Hannah Moulton Contributor The lights in Cox Auditorium faded and a spotlight was cast on a single dancer and a large ramp. The dancer began to move in gracefully balanced movements as others crept on stage to join him. The dancers belong to Motionhouse, a UK-based dance theater company. Saturday night the group per-
formed “Scattered,” its most recent production. The company has performed its show in venues in the United States, Europe and China since 2009. “Scattered,” is performed on a curved floor that looks similar to a skateboard ramp. The dancers dive from the top of the ramp and slide to the floor while also keeping their dance form. The action of leaping off the tall ramp was shocking for some audience members. “My favorite part was when
the girl was on the stage and she fell down,” Kennedy Stieff, freshman in therapeutic recreation, said. “I thought she was going to break her neck.” The dancers not only slide down the ramp, they also climb up. This act was performed without assistance at times. In some of the dances, however, harnesses and assistance from another dancer were involved in the climbing act. The ramp wasn’t only used for climbing. A projec-
tion was shown on the ramp throughout the performance. The projection featured various scenes that would change as each new dance was performed. The scenes featured various landscapes like waterfalls, the Arctic and desert climates. The backgrounds gave the illusion of being interactive as they would shift and change with movements of the dancers. In scenes involved with water, the dancers would
crash into the ramp, and the water scene behind them would splash and ripple as if it was real water. In one part of the performance, the dancers hung from the top of the ramp while the scene behind them gave them the appearance of being melting ice. When the ice completely melted, the dancers slid down the ramp like they were melted water.

Not monkeying around Feminist group Guerrilla Girls challenge art sexism Jenna Butz Staff Writer “Feminist bananas” in hand, a gorilla – or, rather, Guerrilla Girl Kathe Kollwitz – took UT by storm Thursday night in the UC Auditorium. Taking her pseudonym in honor of the famous female artist, Kollwitz appeared as a member of Guerrilla Girls, a feminist activism group. Founded in 1985, the group produces numerous books, exhibits and performances throughout the country, which call attention to sexism and racism in art. Hosted by the Women’s Coordinating Council, Kollwitz explained Guerrilla Girls’ central mission: “reinventing the f-word – feminism.” “Over 55 women have been members of the Guerrilla Girls,” Kollwitz
said. “Some for weeks, some for decades. So, who knew that our work would cause all hell to break loose? Who knew it would cause a major crisis of conscious of diversity in the art world? A subject that museums, collectors and critics ignored and denied for a long, long time.” One of Guerrilla Girls’ biggest campaigns consists of a poster, asking “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” In 1989, the answer read “less than 5 percent of the artists in the Modern Art sections are women, but 85 percent of the nudes are female.” In 2012, the answer was only slightly different: “less than 4 percent of the artists in the Modern Art sections are women, but 76 percent of the nudes are female.” To combat anti-feminism in art, the group began to create its own
Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor The prospect of playing a day game after a late-night contest is enough to make many ballplayers cringe. That is, unless an abundance of energy and excitement is still flowing from a dramatic, walkoff finish that occurred the evening before. “You’re on the brink of maybe some negative stuff happening, and then — all of a sudden — something good happens,” head coach Dave Serrano said. “It turns everything around.” And, just a mere 15 hours after Nathaniel Maggio’s game-winning single gave the Volunteers baseball squad a monumental comeback win over No. 7 Vanderbilt late Saturday night, No. 25 Tennessee returned to Lindsey Nelson Stadium and thrashed the Commodores, 7-0, in the weekend finale Sunday afternoon. But more on Maggio’s heroics later. Right now, it’s about the overall impact of a much-needed SEC series victory over an in-state rival. “I’ve been waiting a long time for a defining moment, and I think beating Vanderbilt here at home is a defining moment,” Serrano said. “We had an opportunity last weekend against South Carolina, and it got yanked from us. It was beautiful how the schedule was set up that we got another great opponent in Vanderbilt — a highly-ranked team. “And to beat them two out of three after losing the first game is a tip of the hat to our players.” Sunday’s victory gave the Vols (21-9, 5-7 SEC) their first series win over Vanderbilt (25-8, 6-6) since 2010 and the first nine-inning shutout of the Commodores since March 3, 1985. But unlike the Game Two thriller, the Vols eliminated any drama in the early innings on Sunday, scoring four times in the first three frames. In the second, Serrano squad took advantage of a handful of Vanderbilt miscues, scoring twice with the help of two wild pitches and a catcher’s interference. One inning later, the Vols pushed across another pair — this time with a more offensive prowess. Center fielder Derek Lance — who finished the series 3-for-7 with five RBI — launched a home run into the left field porch seats to open the third, and three batters later, Scott Price tripled home A.J. Simcox to give UT an instant 4-0 advantage.

exhibits. Eventually, members were asked to show their work in the very art museums they critique, allowing them to protest views of women from within. Anne Epley, junior in anthropology, attended Thursday’s presentation at her friend’s behest, who had seen work by Guerrilla Girls in the Tate Modern during a trip to London. Epley and companion Lexi Clark, junior in art history, were interested to hear Kollwitz personally explain the group’s pieces. “I’ve always been kind of a feminist, and I like listening to topics like this,” Epley said. “I’m on Reddit a lot, and usually it’s just like feminism is a really bad thing online, and I hate that. I hate that so much. “So, it’s nice to come and be reassured every once in a while.”

Hodges makes reading ‘fun’ with leisure section Melodi Erdogan Managing Editor The John C. Hodges Library houses 3 million books. From academic volumes to periodicals to computer resources, the 6-level library is home to stacks on stacks of texts. However, much of it can be intimidating, notes science librarian Teresa Underwood Berry.
This is why in 2006 she introduced the concept of a leisure reading section for UT’s main library, after receiving specific requests for certain popular novels and series some eight years ago. The objective of the leisure reading section, Berry explained, is to provide students and faculty with a separate section of books that offered a selection of fiction, science fiction, mystery/spy
and more; essentially, a selection of books that are convenient for library visitors looking for something lighter to read. “I don’t care what you read, it could be trashy or low-level or what have you, as long as you read, I think it just makes you a better student,” Berry said. “Reading can be fun, and not everything is like those required readings you have to do.” Although she does not get
specific requests often, Berry said she encourages students to speak up if certain books they are looking for are not available in the leisure reading section. Otherwise, she chooses books and series based on best-seller lists, reviews and what’s current in popular culture, spending around $6,000 a year from money donated to Hodges Library. Shelby Rae Stringfield, junior in English with a concen-
tration in creative writing and editor-in-chief of The Phoenix Literary Arts Magazine and frequenter of Hodges’ leisure reading section, said she likes to unwind with leisure reading before she goes to bed. Stringfield said she does a lot of reading for class, “some of it enjoyable and some of it rather difficult.” See READING on Page 2

CAMPUS NEWS continued from Page 1 “Though I appreciate all of the material I’m assigned in my classes,” Stringfield said. “It’s nice to take a break from the analytic approach and just get lost briefly in the world of a novel or short story.” Stringfield added that many of the authors she is introduced to in class are often the names she reaches for in her leisure reading, noting a short story she read by Jeffrey Eugenides in class and how it lead her to the author’s novel, “Middlesex.” Students circulate a third of the leisure reading books, Berry said, while UT faculty and staff circulate another third, not including the leisure reading section at the Pendergrass Agriculture and Veterinarian Medicine Library. The currently popular series “Divergent” and the well-known “Harry Potter” series are located not in the leisure reading section, but in the young adult and children’s section on the third floor of Hodges. These books see heavy circulation, which Berry said she thinks is due to their popularity in the film industry. In Stringfield’s opinion, leisure reading is specifically important to college students because of the nature of culture consumption in today’s day and age. As Stringfield noted, much of popular culture stems from literature. “College students are consumers of everything, especially popular culture through television, movies, music, etc.,” she said. “For example, the film ‘Brokeback Mountain’ (which won an Academy Award for Best Director — Ang Lee) immediately draws an image of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in cowboy hats. Not everyone is aware that the film was based on an incredible short story, of the same title, by Annie Proulx. “Though both the film and the short story hold their own as great pieces, the experience of the story is so much better
when explored from the origin — there’s a lot more to appreciate when viewing them together and in light of one another.” Currently reading J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” Katherine Christian, sophomore in English with a creative writing concentration, said students should opt for leisure reading as a way to lower stress levels. “I read to just take a break and take a breather and not have to think about all the other stuff that I’m doing,” Christian said. “Just get lost in a book.” Relaxation goes hand in hand with leisure reading for Stringfield, but she said she can understand how it might not for

other students. “Everyone has their own way to relax — I definitely don’t criticize the ways in which other people choose to spend their free time,” she said. “I feel like some people don’t leisure read because it seems like a lot to take on — you start reading a novel, but then you have a test, then it’s finally the weekend and you could read, but you really just want to take a nap — I totally understand that.” In addition to a method of relaxation, Christian said she

believes leisure reading is a key way to improve writing, something not all students may be cultivating in class. When comparing English majors to science majors, Christian said, English majors are more inclined to be better writers because of the amount of reading they’re required to do. For students who feel like there’s no time to leisure read, Stringfield recommends picking up short story collections like those from Junot Diaz or Flannery O’Connor, a few of her favorites. Or, of course, The Phoenix. “The special thing about the stories we publish is that they consistently represent the current student body at UT,” Stringfield said. “It’s fulfilling to read through an entire story, start to finish, in just one sitting.” Berry, who notes the “Game of Thrones” and “Walking Dead Compendium” as two series that see major circulation in the leisure reading section, emphasizes leisure reading as enjoyable. She defined her section as “whatever you want to read for fun,” whether it be a serious, nonfiction book like “Argo,” which spawned the 2012 Academy Award winning film, or something like “The Hunger Games” series. “We have a few nonfiction books that are more populous,” Berry said. “They’re not written in such an academic tone that they are hard to deal with and struggle through. Leisure reading is written for anyone to read. “It’s not academic in the sense that it will go over your head, no matter what area you are in.” Stringfield ultimately points out how “important reading has been in so many of our lives,” citing a series close to many students’ hearts, including hers. “For so many of us, we couldn’t even begin to imagine our childhoods without the ‘Harry Potter’ series,” Stringfield said. “In little ways and big ways, reading changes and inspires our lives.”

Navy rescues family with sick baby from sailboat Associated Press SAN DIEGO — U.S. sailors rescued an American family with an ill 1-year-old from a sailboat that broke down hundreds of miles off the Mexican coast — boarding them Sunday onto a San Diego-bound Navy ship so the girl could get medical treatment. The baby girl, Lyra, was in stable condition at 8 a.m. Sunday when sailors helped her, her 3-year-old sister, Cora, and her parents, Charlotte and Eric Kaufman leave their sailboat and brought them aboard the USS Vandegrift. The frigate was expected to arrive in San Diego midweek,
Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Barry Bena said. The Kaufmans were two weeks into a sailing trip around the world when Lyra developed a fever and a rash covering most of her body and wasn’t responding to medications. After their 36-foot sailboat lost steering and communication abilities about 900 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, they sent a satellite call for help to the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday. Four California Air National Guard members parachuted into the water and reached the boat Thursday night. The crew stabilized the girl and stayed by her side until the Navy frigate arrived at about 1 a.m. Sunday. Sailors waited until daylight
to move the family from their inoperable sailboat, “Rebel Heart,” which authorities were in the process of sinking Sunday because it was taking on water, Bena said. It was still not immediately known what illness the girl may have had. Before the family left for the trip, Lyra had salmonella poisoning, but doctors cleared her to travel after she was healthy again, said Charlotte Kaufman’s sister, Sariah Kay English. When her sister first mentioned plans to sail with two young children, English recalled, “I thought it was nuts.”

Square Room showing a family affair for Vespers, SHEL Arts & Culture Editor Featuring Nashville folk band The Vespers and Colorado-based SHEL, Thursday night’s show at The Square Room kept it all in the family. Openers SHEL are comprised of four sisters -- Sarah, Hannah, Eva and Liza Holbrook -- whose initials make up the band’s name. Playing a variety of instruments including mandolin, fiddle, percussion and piano, Shel’s musicianship and crowd interaction made them more than just a warm-up act -- a fact the audience soon recognized as they shouted for song after song. When The Vespers did
arrive, it was to an excited crowd already familiar with their bluegrass-esque folk tunes. Composed of a set of sisters, Phoebe and Callie Cryar, and a set of brothers, Taylor and Bruno Jones, the chemistry between the group because of their family ties came across with high effect for The Square Room’s patrons. Together, the two groups related on more than just a family level. Their reliance on vocal harmonies and folk instrumentation linked The Vespers and SHEL, two groups who fit the atmosphere of a “listening room” like The Square Room perfectly. They also provided a perfect musical contrast. Where SHEL was soft, wispy and understated,
The Vespers, led by powerful vocalist Phoebe Cryar, were loud and confident with just the right amount of Nashville twang. Intensified by the receptive audience and minimalist beauty of The Square Room, the night was both captivating and enjoyable, due mostly to the the combination of the two acts that functioned more as equals than as a musical hierarchy. The combination of fire and subtlety matched these two young groups together in the best way, providing listeners with a simple, elegant relatable representative of the next generation of female-led indie-folk and all the sweetness and awe they bring with them.

The Lonely Biscuits bring funky, hip-hop, soul sound to the table Contributor The Lonely Biscuits, a band formed of four college males, returned to UT’s campus Friday night to play at For the Kids @ UTK for the second consecutive year. The members reside in Nashville, Tenn., where they attend Belmont University. Daily Beacon Contributor Emily Rytz sat down with The Lonely Biscuits to discuss their musical influences, their decision for returning to Knoxville for the fundraising event, and what the future looks like for the band. Emily Rytz: How would you all describe the musical sound you all try to go for? The Lonely Biscuits: We all kind of have different musical backgrounds, so it’s kind of a weird blend of everything. I don’t really know if we’re trying to go for anything, but it comes
out different all the time and it’s just laid-back, groovy stuff with hip-hop and soul mixed in. ER: Do you all look up to or model yourself after any musicians or musical groups? TLB: We draw inspirations from all different kinds of artists. I wouldn’t say there’s just one artist that we all just really, really look up to, but we definitely all get inspired by a lot of different musicians. We take little pieces from everybody. ER: When did you all know you wanted a music career? TLB: We have all kinda wanted to play music for as long as we could, and then we met and this expanded into something we never expected. ER: How did you all meet one another? TLB: Two of us were random roommates and we all lived on the same hall freshman year. ER: How did you come up with the name The Lonely
Biscuits? TLB: We were called Gravy and the Biscuits at first and then somebody already owned that name so we changed it. We have a song called “The Lonely Biscuit,” so we just made our name into that. ER: What influenced your decision to return to Knoxville for another show to help out For The Kids @ UTK? TLB: It was really fun last year and of course it’s going to a great cause. Cate (McCoy) is also really cool and she asked us to come back and play so we said yes. And we love Knoxville. ER: What do we see in the future for The Lonely Biscuits? TLB: We are playing at the Hangout Festival and then some other festivals that haven’t been announced yet. And then just our summer tour in June, which we are psyched about, and we are going to record some new music.

Letter to the Editor In response to a letter run on April 2 I’m not going to attempt to speak for all “GDI’s” or Greek people – I’m going to speak as a Volunteer. Upon reading the Letter to the Editor that ran on April 2, many of my Facebook friends raved about it; I, however, felt a sinking sensation. The amount of hate present within and throughout the article is abhorrent. We are all Volunteers and being a Volunteer consists of helping out our fellow Vols, not making fun of them. Perhaps you agree with the letter I am referring to, and perhaps you think that this group of people has no need to complain. However, publishing a seething, sarcastic letter stereotyping and pushing down a person or a group of people is wrong. Every person deserves the same amount of respect, whether you judge their actions as worthy or not. The letter cites several Daily Beacon articles as “over sympathetic with the Greek community,” but, unlike the letter itself, none of the cited articles condemn a group of people of being unworthy of sympathy. Assuming that people that are Greek are more easily admitted to our university’s social and political organizations, and essentially communicating that they don’t deserve that admission, is not what being a Volunteer is about. Being a Volunteer should be about encouraging students to become involved in organizations and be proud of their university. The alternative the letter suggests is to look down upon students who are passionate about being a Volunteer and passionate about the university. Does the high incidence of Greek people in such organizations as SAA and SGA not suggest that just maybe those Greek people have the ability, as much as every student, to be a great Vol? Perhaps those same passionate Vols who chose to become involved on campus through the Greek system also want to make a change on campus through SAA, SGA and The Daily Beacon. The point here is not to point fingers at who is better, or “he/she/[insert organization] did [blank] last weekend,” but to remind everyone what it means to be a Volunteer – teaming with your fellow Vols to get through the thick and thin. We can all agree that it’s been hard to be a Vol recently. We’ve lost Pat Summit, this football season did not fail to disappoint, and we’ve occasionally managed to be the butt of the joke of national news networks. However, in the true Volunteer spirit, we muster on, singing Rocky Top at the top of our lungs and managing to despise every other SEC team. In the last minutes of our Sweet 16 game against Michigan, we all had that small hope of making it to the Elite Eight, and cheered beside each other regardless of each other’s organizational status, letters printed on our chest or GPA. Being a Volunteer is about never giving up and giving your all to Tennessee. Regardless of your affiliation, being a Vol for Life should never mean judging or hating your fellow Vol, but supporting and encouraging them to be the best Vol they can be. Again, I don’t know what it’s like to be Greek, but lately many various issues have arisen within the Greek system. Therefore, if my fellow Vols who are Greek try to use the campus newspaper to break down stereotypes, I’m not going to condemn them. Anyone acting within the Volunteer Spirit wouldn’t either. Allison Vargo is a junior in social work. She can be reached at avargo@utk.edu. [Editor’s Note: In the letter, Ms. Connelly writes that, “The Daily Beacon has taken it upon itself to be a voice of this marginalized people,” citing six columns and one letter about the Greek community and ignoring the fact that the Daily Beacon has published more than 300 columns this academic year, not including letters and guest columns. As point of reference, the Beacon has run a weekly, Monday column on the marginalization of minorities and women entitled “Struggling to be Heard” (above, right). It has also published a column on the misrepresentation of Latino women in the mass media, an interview with a famous LGBTQ poetry publisher and a column on the under-representation of Asian-Americans in the Winter Olympics. Furthermore, The Daily Beacon currently has 14 columnists, 3 of which are Greek affiliated. This ratio closely reflects the percent of UT undergraduates involved in Greek life.]

Hooters is degrading: a Spring Break takeaway School of Sarcasm by
Kaila Curry Over Spring Break I stayed with my cousin and friend in Orlando. Being standard run-of-the-mill teenage guys, they persuaded me to dine with them at Hooters. I admittedly had never had a Hooters experience up to this point and went in rather open-minded. Many people look down on Hooters women, believing that they are on the stepping-stone of becoming a stripper. Others praise Hooters women for working there as a necessity to earn a living. I walked into Hooters with these two scenarios washed from my mind and the first thing I can tell you is: people do not go there just for the chicken wings. Our waitress was young, and looked to be maybe 16. She had blue braces, two push-up bras on, the standard Hooters tank top and orange short-shorts. She leaned over the table to write her name on a napkin, exposing her cleavage, before looking at the guys at the table and asking in a squeaky cartoon mouse voice, “How can I serve you?” I remained quiet throughout most of the experience, observing the behavior of the men. Between my cousin and friend, it was a basic formula of staring at boobs and then at one of
the many TV’s playing sports. I watched as some men took their photos with the women, while others simply gawked at their bodies. When the check arrived after some rather mediocre food, my ever-so-classy cousin over-tipped the waitress and placed his number on the check. I too, over-tipped the waitress, but I had different motives. In my mind, I had been building a story about our waitress as a runaway adolescent with daddy issues and an urgent need for money. Perhaps she paid for her braces, and now she’s working her way through school; perhaps she’s a single mom doing everything in her power to provide for her child and herself. Once exiting the restaurant, I couldn’t help but question the women’s motives for working at such an establishment. This experience brought me back to recent headlines for a Duke freshman that pays her tuition by making porn films. The Duke freshman defended her work in pornography with similar motivations to the ones I conjured, noting that she’s used all of her porn profits to pay her tuition. What if she wasn’t using pornography as a means to an economic end? What if the women of Hooters were not using the money for tuition? What if these women were actually just enjoying sex work? One Duke student argued, “If the patriarchy is about men making decisions for women and taking away their agency, why do some feminists want to control other women’s decisions?” Is it possible that these women feel empow-
ered by harnessing their beauty to make wealth? To find out, I reviewed several interviews with Hooters women. First of all, the number one reason women chose to work at Hooters was to earn more money. Once employed, the women have to immediately adopt the Hooters look (based on a very narrow, white, heterosexual standard of beauty), which included endless physical requirements regarding hair, nails, makeup, teeth-brushing, deodorant, tattoos, jewelry and of course the requirement that the women maintain the weight at which they were hired. “Basically, you’re not allowed to get fat,” one woman recalled. While on the job, the women reported feeling endlessly sexually objectified by male customers. “The guys are constantly watching you, no matter where you go,” one woman said. “If you’re doing nothing and just standing there, because that’s what you’re literally there for, they’re always watching you.” This experience and research have led me to this conclusion: Hooters is degrading. It’s unhealthy for both men and women. It allows men to behave as if we were objects placed on this Earth for their own amusement and it makes women feel inferior to men. There are plenty of other jobs out there that pay just as well. To rely solely on one’s beauty is to rely on a sinking ship. Kaila Curry is a freshman in English.

Please remember that Dan Snyder, a white guy™, blatantly denied Native Americans their agency by telling them that what many of them consider to be a slur is not only inoffensive, but also complimentary. Later, he started an organization to provide aid and assistance to Native Americans — as he sees fit, of course — because money solves everything. Somehow, Native Americans need someone to tell them whether or not they’re offended. And then, they need someone to tell them about all the problems they face, because, inexplicably, they were previously unaware. Snyder’s words and actions tell Native Americans that their opinions are irrelevant. And the thing is, many American citizens agree with this. Problem? Yes. Seminole and Sioux activist Michael Haney told the Chicago Tribune, “As long as white America feels that Indians are not quite human, that we can be construed as mascots or caricatures or cartoon figures, then they will never deal with the issues of education and economic development for our people.” Whether or not you oppose the names, the portrayals or the mascots, you must acknowledge that America has historically denied Natives their rights and their agency and often treats them as if they are not real people. Hopefully, that “tradition” will change.

UT holds first Surrealism For The Kids @ UTK brings in $28K to fight children’s cancer Symposium, film festival Emily Rytz
Katherine Nanney Contributor UT’s English department hosted the first Surrealist Symposium this weekend. The series of events, which started on Friday and concludes Monday evening, include discussions, poetry readings, art displays and a Surrealist Film Fest. Screenings for the film festival took place in the Hodges Library auditorium The festival was coordinated by Richard Hermes of the Department of English and Nathan Smith, freshman in cinema studies. Smith said he was approached last semester because of his knowledge of films and his previous experience hosting screenings. “There were some films we were asked specifically to screen, ones that the department felt it was necessary to show. Others, we got to pick out,� Smith said. “We wanted a good range of surrealist movies. Ones that make you think.� The surrealism movement is about unleashing a person’s subconscious, Smith said, and crossing what they know as dreams with what they see as reality and realizing what occurs when a person thinks without control or reason. “It’s expressing through art what we don’t think about in our conscious state,� Smith added. Smith said the movie he was most excited for is a Japanese film, “Symbol,� that’s not easily available in the U.S. “In the movie, a man wakes up in a white room in green pajamas,� Smith said, “So he tries to figure out why he is in there and how he can get out. It makes you think. It’s a bizarre film, but it impacts you really deeply.�
During Saturday’s screenings, three films were shown – a Czech nightmarish version of Alice in Wonderland called “Alice,� an animated Japanese short film entitled “Cat Soup,� and the 2008 Philip Seymour Hoffman film “Synecdoche, NY.� Margaret Easterly, sophomore in communications, attended Saturday’s event after she heard about the film festival in an art class. “I’ve studied the Surrealist movement in art classes before,� Easterly said. “I’ve seen the concepts take place in paintings and sculptures that I’ve learned about, but I don’t think I’ve seen a movie with those ideas in it� The final movie in Saturday’s lineup, “Synedoche, NY� was the one that Easterly said “really hit her.� “From the beginning, the movie was different than any other box office movie I’ve seen,� she said. “It was very odd and I felt kind of antsy during a lot of it and I can’t explain why. But then all of the sudden, it made me incredibly sad but not in the way I would’ve thought.� “Movies like these resonate with you on an emotional level,� Smith added. “Surrealism is all about what we don’t think about usually. It can be uncomfortable for some people but if you come at it with an open mind, it may not make complete sense but it can still help us understand.� Although the film festival portion of the symposium finished on Sunday, events for Monday include the keynote presentation on why surrealism is important with Mary Ann Caws and Mark Polizzotti at 7 p.m. in the Hodges Library auditorium. The schedule for the rest of the Symposium’s events can be found at http://english.utk. edu/2014/03/25/surrealist-symposium/

Contributor The fundraising event For The Kids @ UTK, previously known as Dance Marathon, raised $28,659 on Friday evening at Hollingsworth Auditorium in the Ellington Plant Science Building. The money raised will go to the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Hematology and Oncology Clinic. The proceeds will go to help families with prescriptions not covered by insurance, wigs, transportation, equipment and funeral costs. The executive board responsible for the event is made up of 18 members. These members have been meeting once a week for the past eight months in order to organize and plan the entire event. This year, the board made several changes to the event, most importantly, its name. Caroline Driscoll, vice president of participant relations for the event and junior in communications, said the time had come to completely re-brand Dance Marathon as For The Kids @ UTK. “We felt we had hit a plateau and needed to reinvent our-
selves,� Driscoll said. “Also, For The Kids @ UTK is a 365-day fundraising organization now, so we are hoping to increase our efforts and continue our fundraising all year long with different smaller events ultimately leading to our main event of a 12 hour celebration of the children’s fight.� This year, 292 people registered for the fundraising event. Some of the activities available to the participants included a visit from Smokey and members of the pep squad, a performance by the band The Lonely Biscuits, singing by Knoxville-native Ben Shuster and UT women’s acapella group ReVOLution. There were also belly-dancers, a break dance crew, two disc jockeys, a small bounce house for the kids, a face painter, crafts for children, and, for the first time, a silent auction. “We decided it was time for a change,� Driscoll said. “Also, ‘For The Kids @ UTK’ puts less emphasis on ‘dancing’ and more emphasis on why we do what we do, for the kids. “We think people were detracted from registering because it was called Dance Marathon and people thought it was all about dancing, but we have so many other things going on during the event.� Lacy Adorante, freshman in
but one of the dancers darted around with large water bottles. The dancers with the bottles drank the water and then proceeded to make rhythmic gargling noises. The performance also featured the dancers on the floor performing graceful and precise moves. Partner stunts were incorporated into the routine. The dancers would twist and move fluidly around
psychology, participated in For The Kids and was a part of the morale team. “I heard about the event during a Chi Omega meeting and decided to get involved through morale,� Adorante said. “It’s very different than I thought it would be. I didn’t think this many kids would be here. I’m having so much fun with the kids and my sisters. “It doesn’t feel like a philanthropy event because I’m having such a great time, but at the same time it’s going to a great cause.� Members of the board inform patients and their families several weeks prior to the event. Board members sent out 500 envelopes with information about the event (date, time, directions, etc) and sent them to patients and families of the clinic. There are also clinic parties throughout the year and that allows the board members to spend time with the children when they are waiting for treatment and allows them to create relationships with them before the event. This year, the fundraising goal was to be close to $30,000. “We are extremely happy about (what we raised),� Driscoll said. “We have a long way to go, but it is a great first step as For The Kids @ UTK.�

The performance was well-received and earned a standing ovation from its audience. “It was different. It was interesting,� Paradise Hart, freshman in animal science, said. “It caught me off guard.�

Vols’ defense turns in ‘productive’ scrimmage Sports Editor It was only a week ago that the Tennessee defense lost the coveted orange jerseys to the offense. And after being called “marshmallows” by head coach Butch Jones throughout the week, the defense made its presence felt during Saturday’s scrimmage on Student and Faculty Appreciation Day. “We were kind of dragging last practice, and we told everybody, ‘We’ve got to get it. We’ve got to come out this practice strong with energy,’” sophomore defensive lineman Corey Vereen said after practice. “We just came out and we did it. We kept the drives going; we got off the field. “We did a lot of good things today.” The defense’s opportunity to take back their orange jerseys
came in the last moments of the scrimmage when Jones gave the offense a chance to win with eight “last play of the game” scenarios. And when it mattered most, the defense stepped up, keeping the offense out of the end zone on all eight attempts. “We haven’t had a real productive scrimmage up to our standards, but I think today was more up to our standards,” junior linebacker Curt Maggitt said. “I wouldn’t say it was a great day, but it was a lot better in production.” That production came from the entire unit, as the defense recorded six sacks, forced a fumble on the goal line and picked off an errant Riley Ferguson pass during the scrimmage. “I was just dropping and reading the quarterback,” sophomore linebacker Jalen ReevesMaybin said of his interception. “I didn’t have a man, so I was just trying to make a play and
make something happen early.” QB quandry Ferguson split first-team reps with senior quarterback Justin Worley under center throughout Saturday’s scrimmage. Sophomores Josh Dobbs and Nathan Peterman mostly saw reps with the second unit. The redshirt freshman signal caller bounced back after his opening pass attempt was intercepted and finished with a solid performance, throwing two touchdowns – one to sophomore wide receiver Josh Smith and the other to freshman tight end Ethan Wolf. “I’m just trying to overcome (interceptions) and not worry about them,” Ferguson said. “I need to move forward. Once it happens, you can’t do anything about it because it is in the past. So I just tried to move forward and have a good rest of practice.” Each of the four signal callers threw touchdowns – Dobbs and

Lady Vols drop two road games to LSU Staff Report After dropping the first two games of its series against LSU, the No. 2 Tennessee Lady Volunteers softball team rebounded with a 9-0 victory over the Lady Tigers to avoid being swept for the first time since 2011. Senior starting pitcher Ellen Renfroe, who picked up her first and second losses of the season in the first two contests of the series, tossed six shutout innings, only allowing three hits and a walk, while striking out two to lead the Lady Vols (32-5, 9-3 SEC) to their 32nd victory of the season. Tennessee got off to a good start, scoring two runs in the first inning. Following a single from freshman second baseman Megan Geer, senior shortstop Madison Shipman, who went 4-for-9 in the series with 3 RBI, drilled a 3-1 pitch from LSU’s Ashley Czechner over the left-field fence for a two-run homer. The home run was Shipman’s team-leading ninth on the season. Shipman, however, wasn’t the only Lady Vol to flash her power in Sunday’s contest. Freshman Annie Aldrete hit a towering three-run bomb to center field to give UT a 9-0 lead, forcing the game to be shortened by a run rule. “Today we showed our Tennessee pride,” co-head coach Karen Weekly said, according to a UT release. “It was important to the girls to come out and establish
that it wasn’t the Tennessee softball team the first two days. “We put a big win on the board today, and I was proud of the girls for their effort.” The Tigers (22-16, 4-8), though, were the ones with the offense in the first two games of the series. On Saturday, the Lady Vols committed four errors and struggled to plate runners on base, stranding eight runners, as they fell to the Tigers, 8-4. Tennessee scored all four of its runs in the fifth inning to draw close after allowing LSU to score five in the first four frames, but the Tigers responded in the following half inning, scoring three more to put the game out of reach. Only two of LSU’s eight runs were earned due to the Lady Vols’ four errors in the game. The seventh inning in Friday’s contest proved to be the difference between a series loss and a series victory for the Lady Vols. Going into the bottom half of the seventh, Tennessee lead 4-3, but a Sahvannah Jaquish one-out RBI single to left field tied the game at 4-4. And with runners on first and second, Bianca Bell took the second pitch of her at-bat over the wall in left center to give LSU a 7-4 victory in walk-off fashion. The Lady Vols now turn their attention to the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, who they will face inside Sheri Parker Lee Stadium on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Worley added rushing scores as well, but they also had problems continually moving the ball down the field. And while the quarterbacks had their moments – both good and bad – Jones still believes all four guys under center need to get better before he names a starter. “The thing I keep talking about is consistency in performance,” Jones said. “To play quarterback at the University of Tennessee, we need an individual who can improvise, make plays but can take care of the football but play with a very high level of consistency. “I thought there were too many ups and downs from the entire practice, from throwing the ball, one-on-ones, we had some windy conditions, but that is part of playing the game, that is part of playing in the elements. So we will go back and we will evaluate it. “All four did some good
BASEBALL continued from Page 1 That provided more than enough support for Kyle Serrano (3-1, 4.68 ERA), who worked 5 1/3 scoreless frames, allowing only two hits with four walks and three strikeouts,. “I got into some deep counts a lot and ended up coming back, which is always good,” Kyle Serrano said. “I’ve got to work on just getting ahead and staying ahead of guys. “But it was a step forward. I was up and down early (in the season), and I had to battle through some stuff. I thought it was step forward definitely.” The impact of the freshman hurler, who was penciled into the weekend rotation for the first time since March 9 at Arizona State, trickled down the ranks of his teammates. “It’s great having him come out and have success,” left fielder Christin Stewart said. “He’s a young guy. He just keeps building his confidence each time he goes out there and does well. We’re just looking forward and hoping that he just grows and does well for us.” In the fifth, it was Stewart who crushed any fleeting hope of a Commodore rally by putting the final emphatic stamp on the series victory. With Simcox and Senzel both in scoring position, the sophomore outfielder laced a RBI triple down the right field line. The base knock plated two and gave UT a 6-0 advantage. “He left something up,” the lefthanded hitting Stewart said. “I was looking for something elevated — less than two outs just trying to get your job done and bring in a run.”
things but there are also a lot of things that need to be corrected in a hurry.” Young making plays On a day where rushing yards were hard to come by, senior running back Devrin Young made the most of his opportunities out of the backfield on Saturday. Young was able to make a couple of big catches off of screen passes and was the only running back to find paydirt with a 12-yard touchdown run. “Devrin Young has had a very productive spring,” Jones said. “I thought Thursday was a great teaching lesson for him in terms of consistency and the fine details it takes to play winning football at the running back position. Devrin has done a great job of making plays for us out of the backfield and creating space. He’s going to make the first defender miss. “I’ve liked his workman-like approach, and now he’s just
working for a high level of consistency.” To the house Cameron Sutton has become known for his ability to shut down receivers lined up on the other side of him, but on Saturday the Jonesboro, Ga., native flashed a little more than just coverage skills. During a live punt drill, Sutton fielded the kick and made a few guys miss on his way to a 70-yard punt return touchdown. The sophomore cornerback is currently fighting for a spot to be the Vols’ starting punt returner once the season kicks off on Aug. 30 against Utah State. “Cam is an individual who is really battling to be our starting punt returner,” Jones said. “I’m more disappointed in our coverage lanes on the punt team – our coverage and our tackling – but it’s also great to see him make a play.” Janie Prathammavong • The Daily Beacon

Third baseman Taylor Smart, who came into the series hitting .370 (10-for-27) in his last 10 games, gave UT a 3-0 lead in the first with a run-scoring double. But after the initial scoring spurt, Vanderbilt junior ace Tyler Beede (5-3, 2.81) stifled the Vols’ offense, limiting Serrano’s squad to just two hits and four baserunners for the final eight frames. Overall, Beede, a former MLB first-round draft pick and 2013 USA Baseball national team participant, surrendered four runs and five hits with a pair of walks and six strikeouts in eight innings of work. “Beede’s a good pitcher,” Smart said. “There’s no doubt about that. He got picked in the first round (of the Major League Baseball draft) out of high school. That’s one of the best pitchers in the country.”
