SGA committee plans for ‘Orange and White Week’ David Cobb Assistant News Editor A surprise guest associated with the UT football program may show up to the HSS Amphitheater tonight for “Orange and White Week’s” trivia night. “If students come and this person comes, then they’re going to be really happy,” Clay Hillyard, director of the SGA Traditions Committee and a junior in biomedical engineering, said. But even if the mystery man can’t make it, the SGA Traditions committee has a packed night – and week –
of events prepared to rouse school spirit in preparation for Saturday’s Orange and White football game at Neyland Stadium. “Traditions Trivia Night” starts at 7:00 p.m. and will feature 10 gallons of Rita’s ice cream as well as a prize-fueled game designed to test participants’ knowledge of UT athletic traditions. So even if the special guest is a no-show, students won’t leave empty handed as the SGA Traditions Committee seeks to alleviate the stress of looming exams. Other events for the week include a first annual 3-on3-basketball tournament on
Thursday and a joint cookout prior to Saturday’s 2:00 p.m. game with the sponsors of next week’s “I Heart UT Week.” “It’s a morale booster for the Orange and White game, but really it’s a good week to get everybody together and have some fun before the school year ends,” Brittany Bender, a sophomore in political science and co-director of the SGA Traditions Committee, said. While the “Orange and White Week” is an annual event, Hillyard and Bender have added the basketball tournament to the festivities this year. Hiccups in the organizational process prevented them
from officially utilizing the tournament as a fundraiser for The Pat Summitt Foundation, but the duo is hopeful for the future of the event. “Eventually we’d like to make this a bigger event, have uniform design prizes and theme it around ‘We Back Pat,’” Hillyard said. The combined six winners from the men’s and women’s championship teams of this year’s tournament will receive autographed basketballs from men’s head coach Cuonzo Martin. A limited number of team slots are open in the men’s division. Potential participants can get information on signing
up from Hillyard by e-mailing him at dhillyar@utk.edu. “Orange and White Week” promoted the School of Music’s jazz concert Monday at the Alumni Memorial Building and is also encouraging students to attend movie night at the Art and Architecture Bulding on Wednesday, as well as the UT vs. Ole Miss baseball game on Friday. “The purpose of the week, is it’s the week leading up to the spring game for the football team every year,” Hillyard said. “And it’s supposed to kind of get students to come out, come to some of these events, and really kind of to get enthused and get excited
about the football team and have a fun week.” Saturday’s cookout is slated for noon to 1:30 p.m. at the AMB amphitheater and will feature a disc jockey from 104.5 FM, corn hole, and of course, free food. “We’re just trying to encourage students in any way we can to come support Coach (Butch) Jones and the football staff and the players for all of the hard work they’ve put in during this off-season,” Hillyard said. “As students, this is kind of our way of giving back to the football program and the athletics program in general by hosting these events.”
Growing United Way chapter benefits community R.J. Vogt News Editor On Wednesday, students will have a chance to munch for a cause on Pedestrian Walkway. The UT United Way Club is selling $2 servings of Menchie’s frozen yogurt near the university seal from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We get to keep half of the proceeds so we get to keep a dollar for every cup,” Allie Arnette, co-president of the group, said. “We’re just trying to raise a little money so we’ll have it to put toward other things.” A sophomore in nursing, Arnette started the UT chapter with fellow sophomore in nursing Jordan Casady in February 2012. “I first got involved when I was in seventh grade because
my mom started working for United Way,” Arnette said. “Then when I got to high school I became a part of our club. Then I came to UT and there wasn’t a United Way. So I went to the United Way of Greater Knoxville and talked to them about starting up a club.” Casady attended the same high school — Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn. — and worked with Arnette to grow the school chapter to nearly 100 students. “We worked a lot with the community center with the kids and did Christmas parties with them and a water day in the summer,” Casady said, adding that they also worked with mentally challenged adults. Upon reaching UT, the two decided to bring United Way to campus. The national nonprofit organization forms a coalition of charities that pools

efforts in both fundraising and community outreach. The UT chapter has carried out that mission through various service activities in the past 14 months, including bowling with the Cerebral Palsy Center, volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank, visits to the Emerald Youth Foundation and assistance with a 5K hosted by the Volunteer Ministry Center. Arnette said the group is planning a battle of the bands for September, an event at the Relix Theatre that will offer the winning band a chance to open for a headlining act at the Bijou Theatre. She said the funds raised Wednesday will help book venues as well as go toward community agencies. “We’re just trying to serve as many people as we can in the community,” Arnette said. With approximately 30
active members, the UT chapter is a growing force on campus. Arnette said she hopes it continues to attract new volunteers. “I want it to get bigger, a lot of people don’t know what United Way is,” she said. “I hope to make it bigger, where we can do more projects and actually raise more money that we can allocate to different agencies. “A lot of the agencies don’t have a lot of money at all and the people running them put a lot of money into them.” For Casady, the organization gives volunteers as much as it gives those they serve. “Not only do you give back to the community, but you also get a lot back while serving,” she said. “It just makes you feel great and puts you in such a great mood.”

Satirical newspaper brings laughs to student body
Emilee Lamb Staff Writer With a title that sounded “dangerous” and a dangerously political topic, Dr. Cameron Lippard, assistant professor of sociology at Appalachian State University, got the ball rolling Monday with a presentation of his recent research, titled “Living in the Shadows: Latinas and their Citizen Children.” In an effort to bring campus attention to a current political topic, the Center for the Study of Social Justice hosted the colloquium discussing Latino immigration and the effects of racial discrimination on the lives of both legal and illegal Latina immigrant mothers in the Southeast.

math classes, bored out of my mind,” Cowan recalled. “It had always been an idea in my head, I just realized how I could make it a reality.” Cowan had worked as a writer for a predecessor of sorts to the Tangerine, known as the Weekly Hangover. The Hangover ceased publication in 2010, and without a comedic news source on campus, Cowan soon created the Tangerine. “We wanted a newspaper that was focused on campus, relevant campus issues,” he said. “Something that students could take pride in that was UT’s own thing.”
Staff Writer Every other Thursday, students get a chance to forget the troubles of exams and projects by getting a few laughs from the Tangerine. This past April Fools’ Day, The Daily Beacon was parodied as “The Daily Bacon” by the paper. The satirical and humorous paper is written, edited, designed and distributed by a staff of UT students. Its editor-in-chief, Judd Cowan, came up with the idea two semesters ago, with Cowan sitting in class “going out of (his) mind.” “I was sitting in one my See TANGERINE on Page 3

After taking the drug, formally known as lysergic acid diethylamide, Dr. Hoffman was disturbed by unusual sensations and hallucinations. In his notes, he related the experience: “Last Friday, April 16, 1943, I was forced to interrupt my work in the laboratory in the middle of the afternoon and proceed home, being affected by a remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant, intoxicated-like condition characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away.” After intentionally taking the drug again to confirm that it had caused this strange physical and mental state, Dr. Hoffman published a report announcing his discovery, and so LSD made its entry into the world as a hallucinogenic drug. Widespread use of the so-called “mind-expanding” drug did not begin until the 1960s, when counterculture figures such as Albert M. Hubbard, Timothy Leary, and Ken Kesey publicly expounded on the benefits of using LSD as a recreational drug. — This Day in History is courtesy of History.com.

CAMPUS NEWS IMMIGRATION continued from Page 1 Lippard spent the years 2009 to 2011 interviewing Latino immigrants in five different counties of western North Carolina. He observed and studied their lives, particularly the lives that Latina women led in order to provide a stable home for their children. Based on his research, Lippard stated that many of the immigrant women with children – both citizen children and undocumented children – would stay behind in the U.S. when
TANGERINE continued from Page 1 Cowan noted that a difference between the Hangover and the Tangerine is the style and focus of humor. Cowan said that the Hangover had a more broad, party sense of humor. As advertising coordinator Maya Wimmer put it, the Tangerine’s humor needed to focus primarily on UT culture. “With the Hangover gone, we wanted a newspaper that was something that wouldn’t need to be taken seriously. … We wanted the paper to represent the students and not just something scandalous to read,” Wimmer said. Cowan added, “We all love satire. We all thought that the campus needed a satirical paper so we all got together and made one. … I confidently say it’s getting better and better.” The Tangerine’s staff is filled with a variety of majors. Wimmer herself is a sophomore economics major and Cowan is a junior in mechanical engineer. Wimmer said that while there are a few English majors on the staff, many of the writers are majoring in engineering, computer fields or microbiology. “This newspaper was just something we wanted to do,” Wimmer said. “So we sat in the Media Center and learned how to do it and we made it! It shows you that you don’t have
their husbands were forced to return to the family’s country of origin. The children of these women have been termed “anchor babies.” Lippard shared quotes from several interviews with Latina women which suggested that it is often the female immigrants who are exposed to racial discrimination due to the roles of the woman within the family unit. “Latina women face discrimination because they are the public representatives of the family,” Lippard said. “When a kid has to go get a shot at the doctor, it’s always the mom that takes to be a specific major to do what you want to do. We encourage anybody to join our staff. It’s not something that needs to be exclusive.” The Tangerine’s schedule is such: The staff meets once a week to brainstorm and pitch ideas for content. On Monday, Cowan joked that they “like” for stories to start coming in. Editing starts on Tuesday, but it’s Wednesday when the Tangerine goes in to crunch mode as Thursday’s publication deadline draws near. “Wednesdays are generally all-nighters,” Wimmer said. “You can expect to see us on the computers in the South Commons working away and Photoshopping away.” Creating and writing the Tangerine has been a constant learning experience. From the get go, Cowan and Wimmer both agreed that it was a tough start. “I didn’t even know InDesign even existed before I went into the Studio,” Cowan joked. “I went in and said I need a program to do newspapers. And they showed me Adobe InDesign … and like an hour later, I knew how to use it enough to get the paper done.” For Wimmer, the struggle was getting businesses to buy ad space. Not having a vehicle at the time, Wimmer would set out to the Strip and go into each store and restaurant trying to sell the Tangerine. “At first it was really hec-

them.” Much of the lecture consisted of explanations about how much the Latino immigrant population has grown in the Southeast and the effect that moving into a predominately white society has had on the Hispanic migrants. “Latino families become isolated and withdraw from society due to misconceptions, deportation fears and mistreatment,” Lippard said. Lippard ended his lecture by sharing some statistics about the immigrants who participated in his studies. Since conducting his research, 22 families from the communities he worked in have tic and I didn’t know if I’d be able to do it,” Wimmer said. “I would go home and say, ‘These businesses are telling me no, and I don’t think we can get enough money.’ But eventually people started trusting us with their money. Who would have thought?” Part of their eventual ad success comes from the Tangerine’s self-described cheap ad space. With the only intent being to cover the cost of printing, the Tangerine can sell ad space on the cheap and get a variety of business support. “It’s just that our prices are so cheap and we’re reaching such a large student body, it’s a perfect way to test out the market in a very cost effective way,” Wimmer said. “Two thousand copies hand to students is a perfect distribution.” The editing process has also been improved and streamlined since the Tangerine’s inception. They’ve added steps to improve communication and ability to coordinate the flow of getting an article moved from its first brainstorm up to putting it on the page. “Every once and a while, we would lose articles,” Cowan said. “We’ve cut that out completely. … I mean, that sounds kind of absurd that you would do that, but when you get 40 emails a day. ” But the big push for improvement now is in the realm of Photoshop. During those Wednesday crunches, Cowan
been broken up by deportation of one or both parents. Lippard’s presentation, which was heard by an audience of about 20 faculty and graduate students from the sociology department, preceded a Monday night lecture on immigration reform and the outcomes of those reforms. “I think when we look at policy we only look at the intended consequences and don’t think about the unintended consequences,” Dr. Stephanie Bohon, co-director of the Center for the Study of Social Justice at UT, said. “When we do things like crack down on the borders, said most of the time spent is not editing articles are working on layouts, but editing photos. An example of the Tangerine’s photoshopping can be seen on their blog, which currently features members of the SGA Amplify campaign’s party candidates riding former presidential candidate, Lindsay Lee’s electric scooter through a galactic rainbow wormhole. “Most of our time is spent doing Photoshop,” Cowan said. “Trying to get better and learning new techniques and trying to make funny pictures.” And why go through the time and trouble? The paper does not make a profit, and their ad revenue only covers the cost of print. For both Wimmer, Cowan and the Tangerine staff, it’s a labor of love. Despite the hard work and the continued learning experience, seeing the final product out and in the hands of students makes it all worthwhile. “We’re not trying to make a profit off of it,” Wimmer said. “This is something that we’re doing just to have fun and gain experience.” Cowan elaborated further, “A lot of students aren’t really feeling the school spirit right now. With our crappy football team … on top of construction, on top of constant tuition raises, students are feeling cheated, and hopefully our newspaper can kind of help get rid of that feeling.”
what happens often is it makes unauthorized immigration go up rather than go down.” Immigration has been a widely discussed issue for years, and Bohon, along with other organizers of Monday’s events, wanted to bring that discussion to UT. “Immigration reform has been a big topic in the news lately,” Bohon said. “It looks like now is the time that something might happen, so we wanted to educate as many students and people in the community about immigration reform.” Although students were sparse during the presentation,
Bohon expressed her hopes that similar discussions would benefit young adults. “Most of you are going to graduate and go out into the workforce and you’re going to deal with immigrants,” she said. “You’re going to interact with immigrants as employees, as employers, as neighbors and as people in the community. “This is a country of immigrants. More than ten percent of our population is foreign born, and an educated person shouldn’t be ignoring a huge portion of the population. You should be aware of the issues surrounding them.”
Blast at marathon kills 2, injures over 100 The Associate Press BOSTON — Two bombs exploded in the packed streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 100 in a terrifying scene of shattered glass, bloodstained pavement and severed limbs, authorities said. A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other bombs were found near the end of the 26.2-mile course. President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will “feel the full weight of justice.” A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism. Authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the attack, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility. “They just started bringing people in with no limbs,” said runner Tim Davey, of Richmond, Va. He said he and
his wife, Lisa, tried to keep their children’s eyes shielded from the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but “they saw a lot.” “They just kept filling up with more and more casualties,” Lisa Davey said. “Most everybody was conscious. They were very dazed.” The fiery twin blasts took place almost simultaneously and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the course. When the second bomb went off, the spectators’ cheers turned to screams. As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site. A pool of blood formed, and huge shards were missing from window panes as high as three stories. Boston police said two people were killed. Hospitals reported at least 105 injured, at least 15 of them critically.

Letter Editor to the
Greeks get say in stereotype
Butt-chuggers. Shackers. Drunk girls. Cliquey frat rats. Chances are the first commonality that comes to mind after hearing these words are fraternities and sororities. As the tail end of a Greek-filled year comes to a close, the students of UT are left with bittersweet tastes in their mouth for a society that dates back hundreds of years. What was once focused on family, tradition and turning boys and girls into men and women has now become a drunken fest mixed with sex, drugs and hazing. At least, that’s what people want to believe. It is no secret that big mistakes have been made within Greek communities all over the country. Kids have died, been hospitalized and had their reputations forever tarnished. And it’s easy to blame the Greek community because it’s a huge system and it’s flawed. Despite those pretty convincing arguments, I disagree. As a Greek at UT, I have come to find that while we do make mistakes, we are no different than someone on the football team or someone in SGA. At the end of a wild weekend, the dust will settle, the mistakes will be made, and consequences will follow. It’s easy for Greeks to sit back, take their stereotypes and just deal with it. Things are the way they are, and we’ve been lumped into a category that we’ll never come out of. But honestly, Greeks at UT are showing students all across campus that just because you wear letters of the Greek alphabet on everything you own, doesn’t mean that you aren’t just like everyone else. Students involved in Greek life are still searching, are still getting involved, and are still looking to practice and discuss their faith. Programs like The Cross, The Walk and
even Greek Week are giving individuals the chance to branch out beyond their stereotype and get the most out of their college experience. A fellow sister of mine told me that the reason she enjoys The Cross so much is because it’s a way for stories and experiences to come together. She believes that the purpose of college is for students to be able to learn from each other and grow in their relationship with Christ. That’s why she enjoys things like missions trips: they give her the opportunity to connect to people and experiences in ways that she couldn’t otherwise. It’s reasons like this that are bringing Greeks together and giving them the confidence to intertwine religious activities into their programs. Greek Week, for example, is having a worship service for all Greeks to be able to come together and fellowship. A fraternity brother shared with me that Greek religious programs allow him to practice his faith and to feel comfortable doing so around those he spends so much time with. While it’s true that this year has been hard on the Greek community, Greeks are stepping up and branching out as a result. This group of students is coming together under the common bond of something far greater than parties, philanthropy events or rumors—they are experiencing a common love for Christ. The Greek system is, and will probably always be, flawed, but these students are taking comfort in the fact that they are now having a say in what their stereotype will be at the campus. As one UT sorority member, we must forget the past and move on towards the future, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. — Katelyn Hadder is a freshmen in educational interpretation.

Psy’s ‘Gentleman’ goes viral Lost in Communication by
Jan Urbano This past Saturday during an afternoon lounging in Hodges Library, I was given a link to the music video for Psy’s new K-pop single, “Gentleman.” I had known that Psy was making another song, but I didn’t know it had already been released earlier in the day. Nevertheless, I clicked on the link, and began watching it. When I had first visited the page, the view count was frozen at 301 – now, the view count has soared to over 70 million views. On the day that Psy released the music video for “Gentleman,” it achieved almost 11 million views, trumping Justin Bieber’s video for “Boyfriend” for the title of the fastest amount of views gained in 24 hours. Comparing how quickly “Gangnam Style” gained views to “Gentleman,” it seems that the latter is garnering views at a higher rate. However, if Psy is to achieve success with “Gentleman,” he must take into account several factors that were present in “Gangnam Style,” including what he is trying to convey through the video and the methods in doing so. For those who don’t know what the main plot of “Gentleman” is, the music video provides an entertaining illustration. Following from the style of “Gangnam Style,” Psy continues the parody and satire of the lifestyle and attitude of the rich. Psy, representing a stereotypical rich and arrogant man, walks and acts as if life revolves around him. With his vast reserves of money, he thinks that he can buy anything and everything that he desires. As an extension of this, he also thinks he has free reign in treating people abusively, shown through his annoying, childish pranks of pulling out chairs from under people, increasing treadmill speeds to make people fall off, and even forcing a person to get a whiff of his rear. The yellow-suited man from “Gangnam Style,” Yu Jae-suk, returns in this video, serving as another one of the victims of
Psy’s pranks – he pushes all the floors in an elevator, making life infinitely difficult for Jaesuk as he humorously struggles in attempting to hold a loose bowel. The pranked people, although angered by Psy’s actions, do nothing to reprimand him for what he does. Possibly due to Psy’s money and affluence, they are forced to endure his scornful attitude and his irritating antics. However, one person breaks the mold and gives Psy a taste of his own medicine. Son Ga-In, a member of Brown Eyed Girls, a well-known K-pop girl group, doesn’t let Psy get the last laugh, and she pulls pranks on him in retaliation. This in turn arouses Psy’s attention, and he pursues her relentlessly. The music video shows how deceiving and fake the rich are – what they say contradicts what they do. Instead of acting as proper and respectful individuals, they act evilly and selfishly. The satirical take on rich people is also exemplified through a characteristic dance. Just like the horse dance in “Gangnam Style,” “Gentleman” sports its own dance through a hip-swaying movement, described by Psy as the “arrogant dance.” Interestingly enough, this dance was derived from one of the songs of the Brown Eyed Girls called “Abracadabra.” One could make the connection that this copying of the group’s original dance technique provides testament to how the rich may act. It serves as a literal example of how the rich and spoiled can and do piggyback and steal the work of others instead of creating their own innovative and new ideas. Public reception to “Gentleman” is mixed. Some people hate it while others love it, with the main issue being the very raunchy and crude nature of the video. However, time can only tell if “Gentleman” will become a viral sensation like “Gangnam Style.” If there’s anything we can learn from Psy, it’s that you don’t have to conform to society in order to attain your dreams and happiness. — Jan Urbano is a junior in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Where have all the sports heroes gone? I found myself asking this question several times in recent weeks, prompted by the release of the movie “42” this weekend. As a student of U.S. history and a recovering baseball addict that still enjoys quiet Sunday afternoons at the ballpark with a cold beer and greasy nachos, “42” strikes a chord on several levels for me. I played baseball throughout grade school and high school, and it was an important part of my childhood. Though I was never really any good at it, I made up for my lack of natural ability by reading about the history of the game. One thing I’ve noticed, perhaps through the rose-tinted goggles of nostalgia, is that athletes today do not seem to have the same devotion to the idea of civic duty and using their positions as celebrities to enact social change as athletes of yesteryear. Granted, Jackie Robinson was placed into a unique situation, both historically and socially, but even other athletes, such as Ted Williams and Roberto Clemente, had a sense of civic duty and responsibility. Athletes today enjoy a special place in our society. They are nearly idolized and worshiped as demi-gods, and celebrity athletes earn millions upon millions of dollars to, essentially, play games that millions of other Americans enjoy as a hobby and pastime. In all honesty though, what have they done to deserve this elevated place in our society? I have no doubt that athletes have worked incredibly hard to become successful and to become the best at their sport, but in what way is that any different from a teacher who works incredibly hard to reach out to all their students, or a CEO who spends countless hours working to improve their com-
pany, or any other professional who works to improve their own skills and become the best in their fields? I even understand that the outrageous salaries athletes earn are simply the result of the market and our own participation in the vast empires of media and materials that surround professional sports. It would be one thing if athletes only earned large salaries, but idolization of athletes seems to manifest itself as a misuse of words and ideas like “hero” and “bravery.” Jackie Robinson was a hero because he chose to participate in a game, in a society that aggressively wanted to prevent him from participating, a society that was willing to use violence to ensure that he could not participate. Roberto Clemente was a hero because he died trying to ensure that aid relief intended for victims of massive earthquakes in Nicaragua reached victims. He prevented its diversion by corrupt officials and spent his off-seasons engaging in near continual charity work. Even Ted Williams, the legendary Boston Red Sox player, lost numerous years of his prime playing years by serving in the military during World War II and the Korean War, even though he could have avoided combat, primarily because of his sense of duty to his country. Today, we seem to praise athletes as good role models for not getting arrested, or taking drugs, or engaging in affairs, rather than for any charitable or extraordinary acts they do. I will admit that I am part of the problem as well. I have attended many UT football games, and at one time would have considered myself a sports fanatic. However, let’s all keep things in perspective and reserve our highest praise for individuals who actually deserve it. Honor those who go above and beyond the actions of common decency. — Ron Walters is a senior in English literature, French and global studies. He can be reached at rwalter5@utk.edu.

Justin Bieber wrote an entry into a guestbook at the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam, saying he hoped the Jewish teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp â&#x20AC;&#x153;would have been a Belieberâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or fan of his â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if history were different. The message triggered a flood of comments on the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page Sunday, with many criticizing the 19-year-old Canadian pop star for writing something they perceive to be insensitive. Calls made and emails sent to Bieberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publicist and agent in Los Angeles werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately returned. Museum spokeswoman Maatje Mostart confirmed that Bieber visited Friday evening. She said the museum was happy to have received Bieber and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything offensive in his remarks. Anne Frank hid with her family in a small apartment above a warehouse during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Her family was caught and deported, and Anne died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen in 1945.
The diary she kept in hiding was recovered and published after the war, and has become the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust. Bieberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole note read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.â&#x20AC;? Mostart said Bieber called
â&#x20AC;˘ Photo courtsey of Justin Bieber
ahead and was given a guided tour. Bieberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks led to criticism from some quarters, as a Facebook response insulting Bieber received more than 1,000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;likesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; slightly more than the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original
post about the incident. Meanwhile on Twitter, posts mocking Bieber and imagining that he had visited the museum and walked away thinking only of himself began circulating Sunday, though the message is open to interpretation. Some of Bieberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37 million followers also tweeted messages of support. Others in his fan base â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is heavily weighted toward young girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tweeted that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Anne Frank was. Frank was 13 years old when she began keeping her diary in 1942. Like many teenage girls, she made a collage of the celebrities of her day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; movie stars, dancers, and royalty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and kept it on her bedroom wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our little room looked very bare at first with nothing on the walls; but thanks to Daddy who had brought my film-star collection and picture postcards ... with the aid of a paste pot and brush, I have transformed the walls into one gigantic picture,â&#x20AC;? she wrote on July 11, 1942, just days after going into hiding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This makes it look much more cheerful.â&#x20AC;?

Spalding brings electric performance to Knoxville Melodi Erdogan Assistant Arts & Culture Editor Esperanza may mean hope in Spanish, but by the end of Sunday night, hope was replaced with satisfaction. The Cultural Attractions Committee, with help from AC Entertainment, presented jazz/fusion artist Esperanza Spalding on Sunday night at the Tennessee Theatre as a part of her Radio Music Society tour. “For all of our events we’re looking for different kinds of cultures that will benefit the UT campus and the Knoxville community specifically,” Wade Scofield, the corresponding secretary for the CAC, said. “Esperanza ... fit really well with our mission as a jazz/fusion cultural conglomeration that people aren’t usually getting, at least not here in Knoxville.” A partnership with AC Entertainment allowed the CAC to charge students with a valid student ID $5 for tickets. Scofield, a junior in religious studies, said that the committee strives to make their events available and accessible to all students. “The WannaBeatles and Bela Fleck, which were free to UT students, were some of our largest turnouts that we’ve seen from students in a long time,” Scofield said regarding other shows the CAC has hosted this past year. “Five dollars doesn’t seem like much, but when people actually have to get a five dollar bill out and pay, or get it from the bank, or get a twenty and break it up, they’re less likely to go to the concert.” Evan Ford, sophomore in philosophy and economics, said he appreciated CAC’s low ticket price, especially considering Spalding’s “jaw-dropping performance.” “I actually might not have paid $50 to come because of the whole college student thing,” Ford said. “But I definitely would have wanted to and been

Esperanza Spalding performs at the Tennessee Theatre. sad that I couldn’t. “Esperanza made a joke about being highbrow, but these are really good attractions so I’m really happy that CAC had Esperanza come and perform.” As a part of her Radio Music Society tour, Spalding performed songs from her latest album of the same name. Centered on the importance of the radio, the stage featured a radio graphic printed on a canvas in front of the band. Spalding performed her fittingly named “Radio Song” at the end of the set. “She was offering a positive commentary on why radio is important, why we need to keep the radio on, how people benefit from the radio, and even on a smaller level, how aesthetically minute happiness that radio gives out,” Scofield said. “The way she incorporated those ideas with her music was thrilling to me.”
Spalding grew up attending various music schools and participating with a number of music companies at a young age, having completed her GED by age 16. With the release of her first album in 2006, titled “Junjo,” the Portland, Ore., native gained enough fans and recognition to continue her music career. The band, which included a set of brass instruments, a piano and an electric bass, were introduced twice by Spalding herself, showing the dynamics of the relationship between instruments in jazz music. Spalding’s jazz bass and euphonious voice filled the Tennessee Theatre and combined with her talented band to create a soulful atmosphere. “The Tennessee Theatre is a big place and we’ve had trouble filling the Tennessee Theatre with our events. I am thrilled to see not only a number of people
here, but the diverse group of people that showed up,” Scofield said. “People really seemed to be into it. Overall, the event was invigorating and it was nice for us to see the number of people who were interested in this kind of genre.” For her encore, Spalding, clad in a tiered, cream-colored dress and metallic gold heels, performed a solo with only her bass. Although East Tennessee is known for its wealth of country and Americana music, Ford said he was impressed by the turnout for a jazz artist. “I was surprised by the number of people who were here that seemed to know their stuff, jazz wise,” he said. “It was exciting, especially being from Nashville where you expect it to be ‘Music City.’ You seem to see more musical open-mindedness in Knoxville as was shown tonight. “I personally think she was great because she sort of acted
as a way for people who don’t know jazz to come out for $5 and see one of the best jazz artists out there, and it’s also really interesting to people who don’t know anything about that style of music.” Spalding is the last performer for the CAC’s spring 2013 season. “I think she was a great choice to finish off the season,” Melissa Lee, senior College Scholar studying neuroscience, said. “I think the people that came seemed to really enjoy it.” Scofield said that having the Grammy award-winning artist finished off the CAC season with a bang. “She’s on her way up,” he said. “(Spalding) was exciting, innovative, electric and really generally awesome. I had a really great time, and with the committee we hope that everyone enjoyed the show just as much as we did.”
ALLURE continued from Page 5 Ri’charda Anderson, senior in recreation and sports management, has been a member of Allure Dance Team for three years and said she still enjoys everything about the organization. “(It takes) responsibility and a lot of time management, sometimes even involving bring work to practices and studying during breaks,” Anderson said. She also said that Allure brings “fun and excitement” to campus, and Hudson said that the dance team also brings “originality and creative expression through dance.” Anderson and Hudson said Allure helps the members to learn to work with different people of different backgrounds and teaches them how to become whole and work as a team rather than as individuals. They said all of the members are extremely close and that they act as a family with each other. With regard to the future of Allure, Anderson said she hopes the team will continue its legacy. “I hope the team continues to grow and maintain a positive reputation on campus,” Anderson said. “We have become more than just a dance team, we are a family and I would like to see the members to continue to act as such. I would also like for the team to expand and become more diverse, not only in dance moves, but also in members.” As graduation approaches, Anderson said she is looking forward to the future. “I’m excited to graduate and ready to embark on a new journey in life,” she said.

The Tennessee men’s tennis team huddles prior to doubles play in the tennis match against the Auburn Tigers on Sunday.
Class of 2014 grows steadily Location should have no Beacon Staff Reports Just in case you haven’t been keeping up with Tennessee football recruiting this spring, here’s a quick rundown of the nine recruits that head coach Butch Jones has brought to Knoxville for the Class of 2014. — Vic Wharton (6-feet 0-inches, 177 pounds) — The three-star athlete from Independence High School in Thompsons Station, Tenn., was the first 2014 commit to join the Vols back on Dec. 25, 2012. — Coleman Thomas (6-feet 6-inch, 298 pounds) — Thomas was the first recruit to commit to Coach Jones in 2013. The three-star offensive lineman from Ft. Chiswell High School in Max Meadows, Va., should learn a lot from the veteran offensive line that UT has. — Todd Kelly Jr. (6-feet 1-inch, 190 pounds) — Son of former Volunteer defensive back, Todd Kelly Sr., the consensus four-star safety from Webb School of Knoxville will provide a definite boost, especially since senior safety Byron Moore is graduating after the 2013 season and Coach Jones missed out on Vonn Bell this past recruiting class. — Neiko Creamer (6-feet 4-inches, 222 pounds) — Coach Jones has said all spring
practice that he’s not really sure about the receiving core on this Volunteer team. With Marquez North arriving in the summer, and Creamer (a three-star player from Eastern Christian Academy in Elkton, Md.) and Lawrence Lee already verbally committing for the 2014 class, Jones may not have to worry about who will be catching the ball anymore. — Jalen Hurd (6-feet 3-inches, 230 pounds) — Probably the biggest commit so far in the class, this consensus five-star running back (the No. 12 overall recruit in the country to this point) from Beech High School in Hendersonville, Tenn., has a chance to make an impact his first year on campus with the weakness at the position … Keep your eye on this kid, he has the potential to be a Volunteer great by the time his career is over. — Treyvon Paulk (5-foot9-inches, 190 pounds) — For this scatback out of Alpharetta, GA., the name of the game is speed. Paulk, who possesses adequate straight-line speed, has elite quickness, agility and evasiveness, all of which made this three-star prospect one to watch for the Vols. Paulk plays in a position of need at running back, and with his natural skills, he should see the field earlier
than his ranking suggests. — D’Andre Payne (5-foot9-inches, 172 pounds) — Payne is as solid of a cornerback prospect as they come. Blessed with good instincts, a high football IQ, and an attacking mentality, Payne, who attended Friendship Academy in Washington D.C., will be able to play past the limitations of his height. Vol fans should also get excited for his return abilities. He is a solid prospect with a bright future. — Ethan Wolf (6-foot6-inches, 240 pounds) — Wolf, a Minster, Ohio, native who attended Minister High School, is a big man, and has the frame to get a whole lot bigger. Size, strength and arm length will give him a huge advantage as a blocker (his height might make him switch to the O-line in the future), but he does need to develop better hands to make a splash at tight end. — Lawrence Lee (5-foot10-inches, 163 pounds) — Lee, out of Pensacola, Fl., is the newest edition to the class. Though he’s a bit on the small side for a receiver, Lee possesses good athleticism and a quick burst to make an impact early on in the slot. Also, Lee was a first-team all-state selection in class 5A Florida football, so he has to be good.

There are very few things that upset me more. See LOCATION on Page 8

Vols focused on SEC Championships Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor With the regular season complete for the Tennessee men’s golf team, they now set their sights on the SEC Championships this coming week. No. 23 Tennessee finished its regular season at the Insperity Augusta Invitational where it placed sixth. It was an encouraging weekend for the team as they finished ahead of eight Top 50 teams. “It was a tougher field than we’ve had the last couple weekends,” Oliver Goss said. “But it is a lot better to play against those tougher teams.” With their thoughts focused on the SEC Championships, the team will be using the week ahead to prepare for the tough conditions at the Sea Island Golf Club. “We (Goss, Jay Vandeventer and Rick Lamb) are going to put our heads together this week and put together what our game plan is going to be Tara Sripunvoraskul • The Daily Beacon down there,” senior golfer Jay Vandeventer said. “We’ll pracFreshman Oliver Goss eyes his shot on the driving tice a lot of the shots we’re range. going to face while we’re down there.” For the freshman Goss, having upperclassmen like Lamb and Vandeventer who have played the course before to learn from will help his preparation for the postseason. “Their experience is invaluable,” Goss said. “To have been down there and played the course will be big. I will (be) listening very intently in the practice rounds and team meetings in order to know the course before we go down there.” For Vandeventer he will be focusing on the mental aspect and pre-round preparation for the tough conditions at Sea Island. “This is going to be my fourth year playing down there
for the SECs so I am pretty familiar with the course down there,” he said. “It’s a really good golf course and the wind makes it even tougher. We pretty much know where we need to play from, it’s just working on keeping the ball down and practicing the different shots we’re going to face.” For senior Rick Lamb, he will prepare by working on his short game for the difficulty lies around the greens. “It’s really tough around the greens, so this week just really grinding on my short game to make sure that is locked up,” Lamb said. Casey VanDamme, assistant coach and director of instruction, echoed Lamb’s statements. “We have a very good ball striking team,” he said. “We need to work on short game, putting and green reading. Those are the main things we need to do.” As for the other two slots available on the Tennessee roster, the coaches entered the younger players in an extra tournament this past weekend to give them experience and see who is playing well enough to take to Georgia. “We’re sending the younger guys down to get some more work in,” VanDamme said. “We need to fill out the other two spots to take down to Georgia with us so we’ll see where we stand after this weekend.” The team has also had some help from the grounds crew at the Mack and Jonnie Day Golf Facility. Superintendent Mark Gossett has trimmed the grass to give the players as realistic a setting as possible as the Vols prepare for the conference championship. “They sped the greens up for us, shaved some of the grass to make some tight lies around the chipping green,” Vandeventer said. “It will help us figure out the course.”
LOCATION continued from Page 7 First of all, I grew up in southern Florida, home of the worst fans in the history of sports. And as bad as the fans are, the franchises are even worse. Miami teams trade valuable pieces of their team away like it is their job. Ask Dolphins fans about Brandon Marshall, or Marlins fans about Miguel Cabrera. So growing up I couldn’t stand becoming a fan of an organization that couldn’t care less about the franchise and their fans (except for the Hurricanes, who are my favorite college team other than the Vols). For football, I sided with the Cowboys. When I was little I used to live with my grandparents, and my grandfather was the biggest ‘Boys fan. Every Sunday we’d watch them play, so naturally that’s who I rooted for. Plus, it didn’t hurt that Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman signed my baby picture when I was born either. In baseball, I chose the Red Sox because Jason Varitek was one of my favorite players growing up and I kind of just fell in love with the Green Monster in left field and the team. And yes, I was a fan before the curse was broken. I remember crying when Aaron Boone hit that walk-off homer in Game 7 of the ALCS in 2003 ... But watching the 2004 ALCS unfold was the sporting definition of poetic justice, and I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy as I was on Oct. 20, 2004.
Now as for the Thunder, this is probably the only team I’ll accept being a bandwagon for. While I have been a fan since they were in Seattle, my loyalty is 100 percent because of Kevin Durant. He is by far my favorite basketball player of all time and watching him play at Texas was simply magical. But I will ask this: I’m from Miami and I cheer for the Thunder, isn’t that anti-bandwagoning? As much as I love KD and how much I’ve come to love this entire Thunder team, they’ve never won anything. But if that constitutes being a bandwagoner, then fine, I guess I’ll accept it. I guess the point I’m trying to get across is just because the teams you like are “weird” or misplaced doesn’t make you a bandwagoner. You’re still a fan like everyone else. Ask anybody who knows me, my teams may be all over the place but I’m as die-hard a fan as you’d ever find in Dallas, Boston or OKC. And I know I’m not the only person who takes heat for this, so I’ll say this: it doesn’t matter who you root for. As long as you love the team and you are going to stick with them through all their ups and downs, nothing else really matters. Just continue to cheer because, to be completely honest, that means you’re probably a bigger fan than most of these other people. — Troy Provost-Heron is a freshman in journalism and electronic media.
