UTPD notifies students on fondling Staff Report Yesterday morning, the University of Tennessee Police Department reported a fondling that occurred Monday afternoon. A female victim reported a male stranger approached her vehicle in a white car and asked her for a selfie as part of a scavenger hunt. The female was walking toward Humes Hall when the suspect asked for the selfie again and the student complied. As the suspect took the picture, he grabbed the female’s buttocks and left the scene.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and other Democrats on Tuesday seized on Equal Pay Day — a symbolic event dramatizing how much longer it takes a woman to earn as much as a man — to court women voters and call out Republicans for inaction on the issue. Obama dedicated a new national monument to women’s equality and pushed Congress to pass legislation. He suggested he’s encouraged by movement toward full gender equality in many arenas — including corporate boardrooms, professional sports and presidential politics. “If we truly value fairness then America should be a level playing field,” the president said, as he joined House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Maryland Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski and other Democrats at the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum in D.C., the onetime home of the National Women’s Party now designated as Belmont-
FONDLING continued from Page 1 UTPD Sergeant Cedric Roach said the police department received a Campus Security Authority report of a similar instance that occurred in February. “(The CSA report) was the second (instance) that was reported to us,” Roach said. “I don’t know the exact order they were reported in ... (but) on both of those, the descriptions matched.” UTPD has released photos of the suspect and his vehicle.
Paul Women’s Equality National Monument. Alva Belmont and Alice Paul were figures in the women’s rights and suffrage movements. The Democrats’ focus on Equal Pay comes amid a presidential campaign where the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump, has alienated female voters in droves, leading to GOP fears he could diminish the party’s standing with that key constituency for years to come. Yet once again this year, Obama and Democratic lawmakers trumpet their equal pay proposals at news conferences and briefings, Republicans have little to offer in return. “We feel we shouldn’t be playing identity politics, we should be working together to strengthen families,” said Sarah Chamberlain, president of the Republican Main Street Partnership, which advocates for pragmatic, center-right policies. Democrats support legislation requiring employers to show pay disparity is not based on gender, among other steps. The bill, which passed the House when it was under Democratic control but was blocked by Senate Republicans, builds on the first law Obama
signed as president, the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, aimed at making it easier for women to sue over wage discrimination. For their part, the Republicans who control the House and Senate have announced no plans to act on legislation addressing pay inequity, even though a few GOP lawmakers are pushing bills on the issue. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., said she is hoping for Democratic support for her narrowly focused bill allowing employees to share wage information. GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte said she is working with House Republicans to get on board with her broader bill, modeled on one that passed in her home state of New Hampshire. “To say that Republicans don’t care about equal pay, that’s just ludicrous that anybody even says that,” Fischer said. “Everybody cares about equal pay. That’s a value that we all share.” Republican women dispute the notion that “women’s issues” are separate from any other issues, noting that women care strongly about national security, the drug epidemic and other matters not specifically related to their gender.
According to the UTPD report, the suspect is a Hispanic, medium brown skinned male in his early to mid-30’s. He is between 5’8” to 5’10” with dark hair, facial hair and may weigh approximately 180-200 pounds. He was seen wearing khaki pants, a dark shirt and brown shoes. “If anyone sees this person or someone matching that description, or if someone comes up and tries to elicit any kind of response, contact us as soon as possible,” Roach said. “We can come out and hopefully identify this person before he does that to anyone else.” Roach said the event is part of an ongoing
investigation and could not issue more details. Another fondling was reported to UTPD by the CSA earlier this month. A female reported that a male stranger grabbed her breasts without her consent while stating derogatory remarks. The victim did not choose to file a police report. The exact location of the incident was withheld in the emailed report from UTPD to preserve the victim’s identity. In their reports, UTPD encouraged individuals to get to a safe place, contact law enforcement, preserve any evidence and be aware of on campus resources, such as the campus blue lights, in the event of an attack.
VolOUT sponsors free and inclusive clothing swap Alahnah Ligon Asst. News Editor Things are wrapping up on campus, and it’s almost time for students to pack their bags for the summer. But before you stuff your suitcase with more clothes than it can hold, consider giving your closet a deep spring cleaning first. VolOUT, a student-run LGBT+ and ally organization at UT, is still accepting donations for their annual Gender Neutral Clothing Swap. Maggie Marsh, sophomore in neuroscience and President of volOUT, said the event is deemed “gender neutral” because of its mission of inclusivity. “At the event, we will not be dividing cloth-
ing into women’s and men’s sections. Rather, we will organize the clothing simply by clothing type,” Marsh said. “We want to help break down the idea that certain clothing is meant for certain genders, and we want everyone at the event to feel comfortable grabbing clothes from any table.” Benjamin Young, junior in marketing and event coordinator for volOUT, said the group would like all attendees to feel comfortable while browsing the clothing. “Clothes shouldn’t be put into a gender binary, just like people shouldn’t,” Young said. “The point is that people should be able to decide for themselves how to express themselves. For Trans people, searching for clothes that fit your expression can be especially difficult.” There is no entry fee, but at least one donation is required if a student would like to take
clothing in the swap. Marsh said the group aims to foster a “welcoming and accepting community” by hosting the event free of charge for all students. “We hope this event will be a cost-free way for LGBT+ students to acquire the means to embrace their gender identity and expression,” Marsh said. “After all, we’re all college students on a budget.” All of the clothing included in the swap has been donated by students, friends and family members close to the Knoxville community. If you cannot attend the event but want to donate, Marsh said students and community members can contact the organization on their Facebook page or email volOUT@utk.edu. The clothing swap will be held in HSS 53-B at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13.

Today in the legislature: transgender bathroom bill, religious therapy Staff Report
The controversial transgender restroom bill was delayed in a state Senate committee on Tuesday after the state attorney general said the passage of the bill could cause public schools to lose their federal funding. Senate Bill 2387 / House Bill 2414 would force students to use the restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificates. The bill is similar to one signed into law by North Carolina last month, which has caused considerable backlash from groups across the nation and is currently facing legal challenges. Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery released an advisory opinion on Monday, which said that the U.S. Department of Education interprets Title IX to require access to restrooms and locker rooms for transgender students that is consistent with their gender identity. The opinion warns that passing such a bill would violate the requirements of Title IX and would put public schools at risk for losing their federal funding.
When the bill’s Senate sponsor, Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, was scheduled to introduce the bill for review in the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, he asked the committee to delay it at least one day because he is “still trying to digest and understand the attorney general’s opinion,” according to a report by the Knoxville News Sentinel. The Senate also approved a bill on Monday night, which states that no private practice counselors “shall be required to counsel or serve a client as to goals, outcomes or behaviors that conflict with a sincerely held belief.” LGBT+ groups have opposed the bill, saying that it allows counselors to refuse services to them based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. The bill will be sent to Gov. Bill Haslam, who can choose to veto it, sign it into law or wait 10 days and allow it to become a law. Religious therapy law A bill that would allow therapists to turn away LGBT+ patients due to sincerely held religious beliefs now awaits only the governor’s signature before becoming law. The American Counseling Association has come out in opposition to the measure, saying that
I don’t think that I’m an unethical person because I said I don’t want to participate in executions.” Richard Briggs, Knoxville Senator
Tennessee would become the only state to allow mental health practitioners to refuse service to patients should it become law. The measure will not allow practitioners to refuse service to patients who are in imminent danger. If the patient is not in imminent danger, the measure stipulates that the practitioner is required to refer that patient to a different specialist in order to receive treatment.
On Monday, the Senate agreed to a broader wording for the bill, changing the original “religious” beliefs laid out by the bill to “sincerely held beliefs.” Nashville Democratic Sen. Jeff Yarbro came out in opposition to the bill, singling out its apparent vagueness of language as a potential issue for future mental health practitioners. “There’s lots of different principles that come into play, and there’s no limitation on what those principles are, other than it has to be ‘sincerely held,’” Yarbro said, according to a report from The Tennessean. Knoxville Sen. Richard Briggs, who practices medicine himself, says that doctors and other medical professionals should not be forced to provide services that go against their belief systems. “As a medical professional, abortions are legal. If someone comes to me and says ‘I want an abortion.’ Should I have to do that if it’s against my principles and I don’t believe that?” Briggs said. “What if someone comes to me as a physician and says, ‘We want you to humanely participate in an execution?’ I don’t think that I’m an unethical person because I said I don’t want to participate in executions.”

Local artist normalizes nudity in art Abby Bower Contributor Steven Gill can be seen around campus wearing a red t-shirt with a yellow star in the middle, like the one worn by the main character of the Cartoon Network series, “Steven Universe.” The people in his paintings can be seen wearing nothing at all. Gill, late night office assistant in Fred Brown Jr. Hall and senior in studio art 2D, took a departmental class last year that required drawing nude models. He developed a passion for the subject, which then became a major focus of his art. “Around last semester, my painting and drawing teacher talked about how American nudes were never very frontal. They were always more censored, so to try and break that stereotype, I kind of did more frontal paintings,” Gill said. “Then from there people saw the ones I had done and they … asked if they could get a painting of themselves.” Though working with nude models is not unusual for art majors, who often take classes
that feature figure drawing, embracing it to the extent that Gill has is slightly less common. Something unique about Gill’s work is that as opposed to using models in the art department, most of his paintings and drawings are of people he knows. “My very first people, I approached them. I just kind of asked everyone,” Gill said. Of course asking friends and acquaintances to paint them nude can lead to some awkward conversations. “Some of them have been like, ‘Really?’,” Gill said. “So I kind of show them what I do … and if they like it I’m like, ‘Yeah if you want one you can totally have one.’” The process generally takes several three to four hour-long sessions and a preliminary 15-minute consultation meeting beforehand. During those sessions, Gill has to balance making his subjects feel comfortable and inverting what he thinks are the traditional expectations of nude art. “I prefer to draw and paint from art history, so I’ll look up some famous paintings. I normally do men in women’s poses just as kind of this weird, I guess feminist view I
have, because so much nude art is women,” Gill said. “I kind of want to try to balance that out, while at the same time, showing a beauty in men that you don’t really get to see in art. “If you see a man, he’s normally trying to be super powerful or it’s super sexual, but you never really get to see a soft side or a gentle side.” Part of Gill’s efforts to alleviate awkwardness for his subjects includes giving them a say in the way they are depicted. “Steven likes to hear other people’s input on what they want to be portrayed rather than designing them himself, so I got together with him and he asked me ‘what do you envision yourself doing? How do you want to pose?’” Jackson Lloyd, freshman in linguistics, who modeled for Gill, said. After posing for Gill, Lloyd actually got a job working as a nude model in art classes here in the Art and Architecture building, a role which he says lacks male representation. “There is a dearth of male models,” Lloyd said, before encouraging people to try if they are interested. “It takes away all pretense of what you are. When you’re just naked in front of somebody ... There’s no hiding anything.”
Gill mentioned that this sense of openness often leads to a surprising ease in conversation during the artistic process. “It sort of turns into this weird therapy session for them,” Gill said, “because once you’re naked, you just kind of start talking.” Many of his models echo this sentiment, including Daniel Malagon, freshman in biological sciences, who met Gill while the two worked as office assistants. “We talked quite a bit and had a lot of fun … I’m very relaxed as is, but I can definitely see how it could be therapeutic for some people,” Malagon said. Keeping a fun attitude is important to Gill, who said he wants to keep the process lighthearted and maintain a sense of humor. “Nakedness is such a taboo thing that I want to try to normalize it,” Gill said. “I want them (his models) to see their bodies in a positive way. Afterwards, a lot of people have said that they feel more confident.” Gill will be completing 25 nude paintings and 75 drawings as part of a final project, but he does not see himself stopping after that. “I want to keep painting humans as long as there are people to paint.”

New band Blond Bones breaks into the Knoxville music scene Michael Lipps Assistant Arts & Culture Editor If you have not heard of Blond Bones, it would seem like a safe bet that you will soon. “Have you seen what Taylor Swift’s doing?” Joe Rebrovick (vocals and mandolin) asked. “You ever heard of Ice Cube? We want to make the next ‘Friday,’” added Christian Barnett (vocals, guitar, drums and bass). With high aspirations, Blond Bones is a somewhat recent addition to the Knoxville music scene. The two have that kind of quick-witted, comedic chemistry that good friends have — offering the above in speculation of where they see Blond Bones down the road. Originally from Nashville, the two actually met in Knoxville about five years ago. Each musician has his own lengthy history with music, but Blond Bones has been in existence for around a year and essentially came about from a market demand. “We were playing weddings and stuff for friends, and then somebody said, ‘Hey, I’ll pay you 300 bucks to do this thing,’” Rebrovick said. “And it was like, ‘Wait a minute, we can do this and make money at it?’ Then it turned into a serious endeavor.”
The pair did not take long to get down to business, quickly making moves toward booking an agent and recording an EP. “(Rebrovick’s) sister works for Warner Brothers, so I called her up one day and I was like, ‘Yo, what do I need to do to be an artist?’” Barnett joked. “That’s a generalization; we talked for a while.” Following that Warner Brothers conversation, they knew it was time to get into the studio and get started on recording an EP. Objective outlined, Barnett and Rebrovick already had in mind the sound they hoped to achieve, and they knew the perfect place to help them achieve it. “We played a gig in the Historic Southern Railway Station’s grand ballroom, and the sound was really cool,” Rebrovick said. “You didn’t need amplification. You could sing quietly, and it would fill up the whole room.” The decision to use a hometown location for a recording space seemed natural for Blond Bones. “It’s very much a Knoxville sound that we were going for,” Barnett explained. The two agree that they both listen to a lot of music and pull from a multitude of musical styles, which helps to foster a unique and interesting listening experience — one that they ascribe to the “alternative” genre. A brief conversation with Rebrovick and
Music is magic, and there’s something really, really special about it, and to be able to create that and share it with friends, well there’s nothing better than that in my opinion.” Joe Rebrovick, vocals and mandolin
Barnett makes it more than apparent that they are deeply passionate and devoted to their
musicianship. “Music is magic, and there’s something really, really special about it,” Rebrovick said. “And to be able to create that and share it with friends, well there’s nothing better than that in my opinion.” Barnett explained that for himself, music is very much a reciprocal thing. “When I hear a really great piece, or I hear a really good guitarist or a really good flute player and they connect with me, my immediate response in my head is like, ‘I want to give back,’” he said. “I want to somehow establish communication with that person.” Blonde Bones EP “Few of Days” was released at the end of February, and since then, the band has begun to garnish a fair amount of attention – including landing a number of gigs between now and this summer. Touring, playing, writing and promotion are all on the horizon for the duo, with songs for their next EP already beginning to marinate. Both Rebrovick and Barnett are excited to share their music with the Knoxville community and beyond, but they seem to agree this is as good a place as any to launch their career. “I think anything arts related is difficult to have your voice stand out amongst other great artists, writers, painters, etc,” Barnett said, “but I think Knoxville’s been really great to us.”

Madrid architect discusses modernist projects Jared Sebby
Copy Editor In an age of postmodernism, Maria Hurtado de Mendoza is revisiting what it means to be truly modern. Mendoza, co-founder of Estudio.Entresitio, a design-build firm in Madrid, Spain, spoke on Monday evening as part of the Church Lecture Series hosted by the College of Architecture and Design. Her work re-examines the questions posed by the modernists of the 20th century, largely dismissing the preconceptions many architects still adhere to. “I hope I’m right in saying we’re also adding a layer of contemporaneity to these questions,� Mendoza said. “In the 20th century, they were making statements, and we do not try to make a statement anymore.� Instead, Mendoza’s work uses the concepts
of “frameless� design and the “secret laws of disorder� to create buildings that seem to have no apparent structure or utility, disguising rooms and hallways in thin, permeable sheets of metal and ceramic. During her lecture, Mendoza discussed her recent projects, including a series of clinics in her home city of Madrid. Each clinic is built from the same plan but is finished with different materials, like gold-plated aluminum and frosted glass. “The doctors who work in those clinics just love those spaces. Every time we go, they love us. And all the time, people write to us saying ‘Can we visit the clinics?’� she said. “Every time we go, the director is just smiling and showing people around. That is the kind of moment when you say ‘Okay, maybe all this spatial thinking makes sense.’ “In the beginning, people thought (the clinic) was the most weird building because it didn’t have windows, but at the end of the day, they just love it there.�
In the 20th century, they were making statements, and we do not try to make a statement anymore.� Maria Hurtado de Mendoza
Mendoza also discussed the design process of her firm, showing pictures of both models and three-dimensional renders. While her team uses renders to pitch projects, Mendoza said they
work primarily in physical models. “The spatial quality of them, the fact that it’s a fixed reality that I can see up and down and through,â€? she said. “Our models are never just a volume. They contain the spatial expression of the project, so we use them for understanding what we’re doing. It’s not an afterthought.â€? After the lecture, several members of the audience responded with their own experiences, relating their work to Mendoza’s discussion. “I think all of us suffer under the vacuous territory between analog and digital,â€? Jason Young, director of the school of architecture, said. “You’re shuttling radically between different sets of questions that are going to force us to qualify the potential of what we’re doing — experientially, or in terms of kinds of occupations, or inspirations ‌ Or any other things.â€? The Church Lecture Series is free and open to the public. The next lecture, Landscape as Urbanism, will take place on April 18 in Room 109 of the art and architecture building.

Hurd wants to improve cuts at second level Jonathan Toye
Sports Editor

Jalen Hurd only needs 891 yards to become Tennessee’s all-time leading rusher. He has definitely thought about breaking the record. In fact, it’s one of his goals for 2016. Hurd will probably break the record if he stays healthy in 2016. But he also has smaller goals for the upcoming season. One of them includes improving his cuts at the second level. “There were some times he felt personally he left some yards out there,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “Everything is creating space and the ability to make someone miss in space, but also finish the runs. “Jalen has an unique skill set. Jalen is a big back, but he plays with the elusiveness of somebody not his stature. He’s a rarity when it comes to the skill set that he has and he has really worked hard at really improving his skill set and really evolving his skill set.” Hurd didn’t have many problems breaking tackles and churning out yards when there wasn’t much room to run in 2015. In 2016 Hurd wants to improve eluding linebackers and safeties when he reaches the next level. “When you get into the open field, it’s just making the guy miss,” Hurd said. “That’s the mark of a great running back: one-on-one matchups, you win those. “You might lower your shoulder one time, and make them miss another time. You keep the guys on their heels and they never know what’s coming.” Injury Report: Vincent Perry and Jauan Jennings became the latest players to miss the remainder of spring football due to injuries, Jones said after practice Tuesday. There are now over 15 players who have missed spring practices due to various injuries. Jones declined to give specifics on Perry and Jennings’ injuries, but said he expects both players to return by June. Wide receiver Josh Smith also missed practice on Tuesday, but Jones said Smith should be available for the Orange and White Game Saturday. The injuries left Tennessee with only three available wide receivers —
When you get into the open field, it’s just making the guy miss. That’s the mark of a great running back: one-on-one matchups, you win those. ” Jalen Hurd, running back
Preston Williams, Cody Blanc, and Jeff George — for Tuesday’s practice. The attrition at wide receiver, however, has given Williams — a former highly touted recruit — an opportunity to improve his skill set. “I think Preston Williams has grown leaps and bounds over this training camp,” Jones said. “I think that is a direct correlation to the amount of reps he has received.” Justin Martin returned to practice on Tuesday after missing the last few weeks of practice with an illness. “He has lost a lot of weight so we had him in a non-contact jersey,” Jones said. “But just to get him out here and get him running around, it was good to see. “Anytime you miss practice, that’s a challenge in and of itself,” Jones said. “But I know he is a prideful young man and he wants to get back … (But it’s tough) anytime you miss practice, especially when you only have so many opportunities in the spring.” Special Announcement: Tennessee fans might want to remain in their seats at halftime during the Orange and White Game. Jones said Tennessee will be making a “special announcement” at halftime. “It’s something we haven’t done before in terms of announcements,” Jones said. “So we are going to do that and have some fun with that as well.”

Tennessee Crew offers competition to students Cherie Smith
Contributor Ovi Kabir, freshman in political science, wanted to continue his rowing career while he was in college. So when he discovered UT had a rowing crew, Kabir was naturally interested. “When I found out that Tennessee had a crew team for men, I had to join,” Kabir said. “I asked around, and I saw them on Ped Walkway. And they had an (info) session there, and they were so welcoming. I had to join.” After Kabir started rowing his first weekend, he realized he loved the sport as much as he did in high school and knew he had to stay on the team. Not to be confused with the official Women’s Rowing Team, the Tennessee Crew is a club that combines women and men. Greg Maynard, now coaching at Baylor University, founded the club in 1972, making Tennessee Crew one of the oldest clubs on campus. “We basically have four and eight person shells (the rowing boats), not including our coxswains (the person who steers the boat, directing and encouraging the rowers during
the races). You sit all in a row, and you have your oars and just go,” Sarah Burleson, senior in child and family studies and the current president of Tennessee Crew, said. “It’s weird because you row backwards and most people think you can see when we cross the finish line, but we don’t until we already cross it.” Competing against other SEC schools and non-conference universities, the Tennessee Crew is a competitive machine. The squad usually participates in about three or four competitions a semester. In fact, the Tennessee Crew is currently preparing for the upcoming Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta, a big competition in Oak Ridge this weekend that will include several clubs from SEC schools. These competitions are exhausting affairs. The Tennessee Crew arrives at the competition site at 6 a.m. and races all day. It sounds tough, But Kabir said the competitive nature of the club has been the highlight of his experience on the crew this year. “Even though it’s a club team, it’s been interesting to see how competitive UT Crew is,” Kabir said. “We have been going against D1 teams and beating them. It’s a really awesome
We have been going against D1 teams and beating them. It’s a really awesome experience, and I would definitely encourage anyone who’s wondering about Crew to come out and try with us.”

experience, and I would definitely encourage anyone who’s wondering about Crew to come out and try with us. Everyone on the team is so welcoming, and it’s a fun sport where you can get a good workout if you want. And everyone looks good in spandex … most of everyone, maybe not me, but most of everyone.” Passing the presidency onto Kabir, Burleson’s time as president has been both challenging and rewarding. Burleson has watched Tennessee Crew almost double in size from the fall to the Spring. “I was trying to get everyone into boats, on the water, working with everyone’s schedules, and that’s been the hardest thing,” Burleson said. “Likewise, making sure that everyone gets the time they need to prepare for the regattas (rowing meets), the entry fees, just keeping track of all the logistics stuff.” With the drive that the Tennessee Crew has, the upcoming SIRA Regatta can prove fruitful for the team, increasing its medal count and possibly a place in Nationals in Philadelphia later on in June. “It’s an amazing sport,” Kabir said. “You got to try it because when you’re rowing and see the sunset down on the water, there’s no other experience like that.”
