Tennessee Promise Act sails through House, 87-8
March 27, 2011 Former Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton hires Cuonzo Martin, who was then the head basketball coach at Missouri State, to replace Bruce Pearl.
McCord Pagan Copy Editor The Tennessee Promise Scholarship Act of 2014 sailed through the state House of Representatives by a vote of 87-8 Tuesday evening and is now awaiting Gov. Bill Haslam’s signature. The bill, the first of its kind in the U.S., will likely rework the educational landscape of Tennessee. The scholarship, unveiled by Haslam at his State of the State address on Feb. 3, will provide two-and-a-half years of free tuition at any qualifying post-secondary institution for the purpose of attaining an associate’s degree or two-year technical certificate. The scholarship is targeting recent high school graduates who may not otherwise pursue a post-secondary education. The bill will give “that other group that never got to college,” access to higher education, state Rep. Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, said. Only students that attend an institution offering two-year programs will be eligible to apply. The bill is a last-dollar scholarship, meaning it will only cover tuition after other financial aid, such as need-based scholarships and Pell grants, have been applied. The Promise is estimated to cost $34 million a year, and will be funded primarily through a one-time transfer of $300 million in excess lottery fund reserves — in addition to a $47 million endowment created by the General Assembly in 2013.

Local jazz aficionado takes over new radio segment Gage Arnold • The Daily Beacon
Claire Dodson Arts & Culture Editor One of Knoxville’s prominent jazz musicians has taken a new gig just in time for April’s Jazz Appreciation Month. Kelle Jolly, a musician and entertainer, is the host of WUOT’s new Friday night segment: Jazz Jams. The previous holder of the 8 p.m. slot was nationally-aired Marian McPartland’s “Piano Jazz,” but after McPartland passed away last July, NPR kept running reruns of the well-known host’s shows. Todd Steed, jazz coordinator at WUOT, said the staff decided they wanted a segment that was more current as well as one that would bring in a local host. “I had Kelle and her husband Will Boyd on ‘Improvisations’ as guests,” Steed said. “Ten minutes into that interview, I knew Kelle would be a natural to host a show.” Jolly certainly has the history. While in high school, she started singing jazz because she didn’t have a gospel or pop voice, and she ended up falling in love.
Tennessee men’s basketball head coach Cuonzo Martin has left Knoxville after three seasons to take the same position at the University of California. UT Athletic Director Dave Hart announced the news in a Tuesday afternoon press conference. “We had a great run through the (NCAA) tournament,” Hart said, “and I want to again recognize the job Cuonzo Martin did as our head basketball coach and that his staff did in making the contributions in order for us to end with a very memorable basketball season. “I know I, and everybody connected in our athletics department and university, wish him nothing but success at Cal.” Hart met with the Tennessee players around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday to inform them of the news. Martin was not in attendance. Martin met with Marquette officials regarding its then-vacant head coaching job days after the Vols were bounced from the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 on March 28. But on April 1, joint statements from Hart and Martin announced he would remain to coach the Vols in 2014-15 with a contract extension coming. Hart made an offer — a raise to $1.8 million annually, which was a $450,000 increase from his previous deal but still only enough to make him the seventh highest-paid coach in the SEC. Martin was given no timetable on accepting the deal, leaving Hart shocked when Martin told him of his intentions to take the Cal job Tuesday morning. “I did not know Cuonzo was involved in the California job until this morning,” Hart said. “We did have a conversation. He was very emotional and the bottom line is he said that in his heart, he believes that this was best for he and his family. “Today is also a surprising day for me. I did not think that we would be back into where we find ourselves today.” The news wasn’t quite as surprising for many others. Martin grew unpopular among a portion of the fan base this past season when an online petition promoting the re-hiring of Bruce Pearl surpassed 37,000 signatures. “I probably didn’t hear about (the petition) until it was too late,” said Martin during his introductory press conference at Cal. “When you are coaching, you got your head down and you are working,
you don’t get consumed with things on the peripheral. “For me, I thought it was a great teaching point for our guys. We always talk about having character, going through adversity, dealing with situations, and what happens in the process, you develop young men because they saw my approach every day. I came to work with my hard hat on and nothing changed.” According to Cal athletic director Sandy Barbour, Martin’s contract, which is still being finalized, is for five years. The financial details will be released at a letter date. Martin also stated that he will be bring “quite a few” of his assistant coaches from Tennessee to Cal once his contact is completed. Hart reiterated that he wouldn’t speak for Martin, but hinted that those distractions may have played into his decision. “One man’s opinion — I don’t think Cuonzo’s decision was driven by dollars or was driven by necessarily number of years (on contract),” Hart said. “I don’t. It was a tough year. And again, I don’t want to speak for Cuonzo, but it was a tough year for Cuonzo and (his wife) Roberta. “There were a lot of distractions. You (media) know what they were. You reported on them.” The buyback into Martin from much of UT’s fan base during the No. 11 seed Vols’ improbable Sweet 16 run seemingly wasn’t enough to overcome seasons of burnt bridges. Despite that petition gaining national media attention and painting UT’s fan base in a bad light, Hart was full of positives. “You’ve heard me say this many times: give me the passion,” Hart said. “We have a very passionate fan base. “Can passion sometimes be misdirected? Sure, it can, at times. But we’re very, very blessed with a really passionate fan base.” Hart said that the search for the next Vols’ basketball coach begins “immediately.” A search firm won’t be used, as Hart will lead the search. Head coaching experience and a proven track record are on the top of his wish list. “What the timetable is, is often times difficult to nail down,” Hart said of the coaching search. “We’re late in the sense that we’re right on top of Signing Day and the Final Four has come and gone. “But we will immediately get in now to that search process.”

February 22, 2014 Tennessee is swept by Texas A&M with a 68-65 overtime loss, fueling the fire from UT fans for Martin to be fired.
March 2014 After making the NCAA tournament for the first time in Martin’s tenure, the Vols tore through the Big Dance, defeating Iowa, UMass and Mercer on their way to the Sweet 16 before losing to Michigan, 73-71, on March 28.
April 1, 2014 After meeting with Marquette officials on March 30 to discuss the Golden Eagles’ head coaching vacancy, Martin announces that he will stay on as UT’s head coach and will begin contract negotiations with the university.
April 15, 2014 Athletic Director Dave Hart announces that Martin has left Tennessee to become the head coach at the University of California.

TBI report shows decrease in overall New SGA reps sworn into office RJ Vogt campus crime, rise in sexual assaults Editor-in-Chief
Bradi Musil Staff Writer Perplexing trends in campus crime emerged as the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation published its annual “Crime on Campus” study for 2013 on April 4. Although the study shows that crime reported by Tennessee’s colleges and universities decreased overall by 11.6 percent from 2012 to 2013, the individual category of “Sex Offenses — Forcible” crimes reported showed a 25 percent increase. “It’s really hard to say why we see what we see,” said Josh Devine, public relations officer for TBI. “But that’s just the story for this year. ... We haven’t seen any exponential increase over the years.” Ashley Blamey, director of the Safety, Environment and Education Center at UT, said she is oddly reassured by 2013’s results, citing the rise in sexual offenses reported as an indication of increased willingness to seek help from authorities. “We want to see a rise in reporting, and we see that as the outreach efforts working,” Blamey said. “Students are becoming more aware of options in reporting. ... That’s one of the challenges, your statistics will grow with reporting.” According to data collected at UT in compliance with the Clery
PROMISE continued from Page 1 The remaining $100 million in lottery funds will still go toward fulfillment of the HOPE scholarship, to be assisted by a $10 million cushion.

Students at four-year institutions will receive $3,500 during their freshman and sophomore years, and juniors and seniors $4,500 a year, still guaranteeing
Act, reports of sexual assault on campus doubled from 2011 to 2012, increasing from 4 to 8 percent. Results of the S.E.E. Center Annual Health & Wellness Survey show an increased awareness of resources on campus for reporting sexual assault from 2012 to 2013. Devine said an 11.6 percent decrease in crime but a 25 percent increase for one category is not uncommon, and the reports are often filled with mixed statistics. However, Devine said he feels the decrease in crime overall is still very encouraging. “It’s our hope that [colleges] take a look at that and double efforts to fight that kind of assault on campus,” Devine said. “Our goal is solely to put the information out there.” The purpose of the “Crime on Campus” report is to give campuses a snapshot of crime in their area and help local law enforcement and university resources focus efforts on areas of crime more prevalent in their area. The report was first issued in 1989, after the Tennessee General Assembly required TBI to begin tracking crime on Tennessee campuses under the College and University Security Information Act. “Colleges really take this information seriously,” Devine said. Blamey said UT uses statistics from a variety of resources to improve overall safety programing on campus. The majority of
programs created at UT respond to national trends rather than statewide results, she explained. However, she said she feels the statistics published in the “Crime on Campus” study are not specific to UT or Tennessee, but represent the nation as a whole. “UT is not outstanding,” Blamey said. “Sexual assault is the most under-reported crime everywhere, period.” Devine, however, asserted the reports, although dependent on data compiled in Tennessee, should not be generalized. “I don’t think you can take these statistics and rank colleges about which is the safest and not safest,” Devine said. “College campuses are located in really diverse areas… We would caution people against saying what state is what and what state isn’t.” In the future, Blamey said she hopes to be more proactive in designing programs which raise awareness of sexual assault resources on campus. In summer of 2014, the S.E.E. Center will begin the Volunteers Speak UP! 2014 Campus Wide Roll Out campaign to empower UT students, faculty and staff to speak up for each other. “I really do think that knowledge is power,” Devine said, “and it translates into initiatives and conversations that need to happen about more pressing issues of crime on university campuses.”
Hayley Brundige Assistant Photo Editor “I, Kelsey Keny, solemnly swear always to uphold the ideals of the University of Tennessee and its policies as listed in Hilltopics. I will strive to uphold the constitution of the Student Government Association, and I will – to the best of my ability – represent the concerns of all students as Student Body President.” These words, spoken by Jake Baker and repeated by Kelsey Keny, marked the transition from one SGA administration to the next in the University Center Hermitage Room Tuesday night. And as Baker took a seat at a table, Keny stood at the podium to deliver her first remarks to the 2014-2015 SGA senators. She began with advice her mother once gave her when she, as a young girl, hoped desperately to be the best at everything. “She said, ‘Kelsey, in life, there’s always going to be someone who’s a little bit better, who’s a bit more.’ And it was the most humbling advice I’ve ever
called “incredibly important” to student success. A last-minute amendment to keep the HOPE distribution at $4,000 a year, introduced by Rep. Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, was not taken up by the House. The Promise is part of Haslam’s Drive to 55 Initiative, which seeks to have 55 percent of Tennesseans hold some form of higher education by the year 2025. Haslam said in his Feb. 3 address that only 32 percent of residents currently meet this criteria.
tory right now,” he said. “I can’t wait to see what you guys do next year.” Baker, former Vice President Paige Atchley and former Director of Student Services Grant Davis also handed out the annual SGA awards. The SGA Executive Board Leadership Award went to John Keny and the Philip A. Scheurer Leadership Award (for freshmen) went to Jennings Hardee. Atchley recognized Hannah Bailey and Kathleen Connelly as Outstanding Senators; Davis selected Bethany Van Heuser, Rachel Cross and Clay Hillyard as outstanding Student Services Committee members; and Martin Walker, the Graduate Student Senate President, recognized St. Thomas LeDoux and Kathryn Abrahamsson as Outstanding GSS members. With all the awards handed out and positions announced, Keny closed out the ceremony, saying one of her favorite quotations — with a Vol-inspired twist. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed students can improve student life at the University of Tennessee,” Keny said. “Indeed, it’s the only thing that’s ever going to.”

The eligibility for HOPE recipients was also changed, so that the scholarship will expire at either 120 attempted hours or eight semesters, whichever occurs last.

The most dedicated, committed, driven group of people working together for a cause they believe in. That’s where progress comes from.” To begin that progress, Keny nominated her executive board, naming Daniel Richter as chief of staff; Amy Prosise as executive secretary; Madison Krall as treasurer; Annie Carr as press secretary; Thomas Carpenter as City of Knoxville liasion; and Johnathan Jackson as webmaster. The nominations passed unanimously. SGA Vice President Connor Dugosh and Director of Student Services Katelyn Hadder were also sworn in, as well as all of the newly elected senators. Before the transition ceremony began, Baker surveyed the newly elected SGA senate and delivered his final remarks. After thanking all those he worked with, he predicted a promising SGA future. “We are on a really great trajec-
As a new set of Student Government Assocation representatives were sworn in on Tuesday, Jake Baker, Paige Atchley and Grant Davis took time to reflect on the progress SGA has made this year.

Fridays and allowing groups of up to 250 students to buy tickets to football games were lauded as successes. Along with planned campus changes, SGA had to address unexpected issues. When a new meal plan that would force undergraduates to purchase $300 dining dollars was proposed, SGA worked with administration and instigated a campus-wide discussion. SGA also took action against the recent student fee legislation
by starting a letter writing campaign and petition. Inevitably, with success also came failure. Students are still not able to have one free Vol Card replacement and SGA is still working to implement a walk-in clinic to aid students with minor injuries and sudden illnesses.

Managing Editor After playing in Memphis, Nashville and at Bonnaroo twice, the Local Natives are finally coming to Knoxville. The indie rockers will play at the historic Bijou Theatre on Friday, April 18, at 8 p.m. The Daily Beacon talked to Ryan Hahn (guitar, keyboards, mandolin, vocals) and Taylor Rice (guitar, vocals, bass) after their performance at last year’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The Los Angeles, Calif., natives, previously known as Cavil at Rest, met while attending UCLA. A year after they graduated, Hahn, Rice and Kelcey Ayer (vocals, keyboards, percussion, guitar) met Matt Frazier (drums) and Andy Hamm (bass) and moved in together to work on their debut album. The band started gaining attention in Europe via music outlets online, which led to the 2009 release of “Gorilla Manor” in the UK; the debut album released a year later in the U.S. “We’re young enough that we grew up reading music blogs and then finding music on the Internet,” Rice said. “It’s natural to us, it’s a native language enough.” Hamm left the band “due to unresolved differences,” according to an announcement on the band’s website, and was replaced by Nik Ewing in 2011. When asked what’s most important about starting a band, Hahn emphasized the relationship one must have with
JAZZ continued from Page 1 “Pop singers have popularity for a certain time period. But jazz singers sing until they die,” Jolly said. “I felt like jazz fit my voice stylistically, and the topics of the songs, the poetry of the lyrics were attractive to me.” Jolly became well-practiced in jazz during high school, where her experience studying jazz led her band director to create a new senior recognition for her: the Billie Holiday Award. After studying at South Carolina State University and being inducted into their Jazz Hall of Fame, she and her fellow-musician husband moved to Knoxville in 2006. Since moving to Knoxville, Jolly has made a name for herself locally by performing at many jazz venues as well as acting and designing her own clothes. She and her husband have also represented Knoxville in its sister city — Muroran, Japan — where they advocate for jazz in all of its forms. For Steed, all this creativity and energy made Jolly a perfect
Los Angeles indie rock band Local Natives will perform at the Bijou Theatre on Friday, April 18, at 8 p.m. their fellow band members. “Make sure that you can be friends with the people that you’re in a band with, and that you get along more than just on musical terms,” Hahn said. “(Make sure) that there’s a special connection there.” The two members describe their style of music as “under an indie rock umbrella,” but capitalize on their focus on collaborating with all the band members. “A lot of our songs come from a lot of different angles, and there’s a lot of different influences involved,” Hahn said. “I just hope that whoever it is would listen to more than one song, because I think for our band, you kind of need to hear multiple songs to really get the whole picture.” When asked about inspiration for a future album, which has yet to be announced, Rice said it never turns out the way he thinks. “When we were making ‘Hummingbird,’ or before candidate to host the show. “She’s just a real positive force of nature on top of all that,” Steed said. “It’s fun to work with someone who has all those great attributes. Maybe some of it will rub off on me.” Steed also emphasized the roots of Jazz in the South and the role of public radio to pick through the mass amounts of music in the genre in order to bring the best to listeners. “It’s a rich, incredible form of music that once people are exposed to it in the right ways, a lot of people really fall in love with it,” Steed said. “It’s just not something you hear a lot on commercial stations. And that’s fine, but I feel like one of the values of public radio is that we’ll dig a little deeper for you and find other goodies. We have a jazz department at UT; we have a very strong Knoxville Jazz Orchestra here. “It’s a great city for jazz, so we feel like that should be reflected on the radio, as well.” Jazz Jams premiered during April’s First Friday in the Emporium, and it has already received “outstanding” feedback, Steed said. Jolly’s first selection
we did, I had all these ideas of what it would sound like, and none of them were accurate. It would probably be the same moving forward,” Rice said. “But we all have an energy of wanting to push ourselves not in a competitive way necessarily, but maybe a little bit. “Just push ourselves into doing something better and more interesting than last time.” Rice and Hahn reminisced on their first year as a band working to gain a following and connect with listeners through their music. It evidently was worth it, since their albums have made the Billboard 200 chart, their tours take them around the world and their music gets millions of plays on Spotify. And they’re bringing it to Knoxville. “We’re super lucky, we have a second record and we’re playing Bonnaroo,” Rice said at the time. “That’s an amazing humbling experience. We are a band because we went through that.” was from mentor and friend, Knoxville jazz and R&B artist Sharon Mosby, who passed away last year. “Whenever my husband and I would have shows in Knoxville, she would always be there and she would always bring crowds with her,” Jolly said. “She really supported us, so I felt like I wanted to start my new experience off with the memory of Sharon.” These firm roots in the Knoxville community and in the history of jazz fuel Jolly’s vision to bring jazz to people who may have written off the genre. “People may think they know what jazz is, and maybe they don’t like it,” Jolly said. “But then they find out that they can find something inside jazz that they do like. And it doesn’t matter what label people put on it. “Music is music. If it’s a good song, it’s a good song.” Jolly has big plans for Jazz Jams, from “Scooby-Doo vans with speakers” playing music in the park to a “Homemade Jam of the Month” give-away at listening parties. She aims to bring in guests local and remote, as well as potentially recording live per-

Staff Writer How did a high school folk band go from playing covers in Market Square to hanging out with Cruz Conteras at Rhythm N’ Blooms? Devin Badgett, Jonathan Bailey, Eli Fox and Briston Maroney still aren’t quite sure. The four high schoolers make up Subtle Clutch, and though they have hardly been playing together for a year, they are quickly making a name for themselves in Knoxville. Jumping into their instruments while they were in middle school, each member is a multi-instrumentalist. Maroney sings and plays guitar, Bailey plays mandolin and bass, Fox plays banjo, harmonica and dobro, while Badgett plays guitar, ukulele, bass and cajon. For some of them, it was family influence and the Appalachian setting that influenced their instrument choices. However, Badgett’s personal decision was more spur of the moment. “I started on ukulele after I saw a guy eating breakfast in a hotel playing ukulele,” Badgett said. “He looked really happy, he had his feet kicked up and everything, so I was like, might as well go for it. So, I learned ukulele and played a lot of Nevershoutnever! songs, and I moved onto guitar and kind of built up from there.” The band met through attending the same middle school and church, and decided to play together less than a year ago. While they now attend different high schools — Badgett formances in the future. All of this in the name of bringing accessible and interesting jazz to listeners on campus and in the Knoxville community. “My mind moves really fast,” Jolly said. “I tell myself, Kelle, you got to slow down. You can’t do everything from the beginning. But I’m always thinking -- where can we grow? What do people need? What direction should I go in based on how people respond to what I do?” Jazz Jams airs on WUOT 91.9 FM on Fridays from 8 to 9 p.m. Jolly encourages listeners to interact with her via her Facebook and email, which is jazzjamwithkj@ gmail.com.
even moved to Chattanooga — they have maintained their connection to release their single “Railroad” and to begin writing their first album while freshmen and sophomores in high school. While their single is currently on rotation on WUTK, the idea of songwriting as a whole is a newly-discovered pursuit for them. They are currently halfway through writing for the album, which they hope to begin recording within the year. “So far, I’ve brought the core of a song and the main idea to everybody,” Maroney said. “Then, I kind of do lyrics and chords, and they do the other stuff. They’re the ones who put the music together.” Typically, Subtle Clutch can be found street performing in Market Square. There, they often played covers to draw an audience in. “It’s the best business card you can have, you know?” Fox said. “It really gets your name out there.” For Maroney, covers were a way to assess each other’s musical abilities, which he believes has helped the group develop its current mix of pop and rock with traditional bluegrass styles. “It’s easier for all of us to learn about each other musically, I think, when we — before we started playing originals and stuff — just kind of see where we were all at as far as what we could play, what we like to play,”
Maroney said. “I think that playing covers helped us discover our sound.” However, Subtle Clutch moved to a bigger stage earlier this month. The young band was invited to play Americana festival Rhythm N’ Blooms where they made connections with fellow local bands Crab Apple Lane, Cereus Bright and the Black Lillies. However, while they were ecstatic about meeting some of their musical idols, such as Dom Flemons from Carolina Chocolate Drops and Willie Watson from Old Crow Medicine Show, their classmates didn’t understand their enthusiasm when they told them about the encounters at school that Monday. “With other kids our age, we’re like, ‘We met Dom Flemons,’ and they’re like, ‘Who are you talking about?’” Bailey said. While they don’t have a definite genre they feel they fit in, influences such as Brett Dennen, Old Crow Medicine Show, Chris Thile and Twenty-one Pilots have swayed the group to a sound that Maroney jokingly says sounds like when “Morrissey meets your grandma.” “I think everybody brings something different to the table,” Bailey said, “and when we combine all that, it’s just…” “…it just kind of happens,” Fox finished. “I don’t know. It’s just — it’s kind of Subtle Clutch.”

How to bide your time until summer In Rare Forum by
Julie Mrozinski
Counting today, there are 10 days left until the end of classes. Seven school days, specifically. If you, like the average UT student, take 15 hours a week, then you have 21 hours of class left for the 2014 Spring Semester: 1,260 minutes; 75,600 seconds. And then – we have exams. As the final days of school pounce upon us, you may feel as if there are way too many sources to research, outlines to write, papers to re-write (OK, maybe that’s just us English majors, but you get the idea). Whatever your major, this end is going to take a major amount of your time; while it may seem daunting, I’d like to offer you alternative perspectives on time that might offer your mind relief as we near the future and experience these final moments. Presentism is a theory of time first noted by St. Augustine. He stated that time is a knifeedge in between the past and the future and cannot exist for a perceived period of time. In retrospect, this seems understandable, because if the present were extended then it would naturally take upon parts, before and after. Buddhist Presentism philosophy arrives at the same idea: the past is unreal, the future is unreal and ultimately, the only thing that is real is the present moment of physical efficiency. This philosophy can help us through these final weeks. Consider focusing on what is at hand, not what has happened with our past test grades or what might happen with our future test grades. Instead, focus on the present moment, the only truth at hand. Take every moment as it comes, giving it your most honest effort. Another perspective that might suit your fancy is actually the exact opposite of Presentism, called Externalism. It is the belief that all time exists at the same time, as if layered upon one another. In externalism, the present is simply the perspective of the observer. This idea can be calming, satisfying – it can offer relief. Think about it: in externalism, we have already completed the end. All we must do is realign our perspective and experience (in our minds) the conclusion of our trials. Perception is reality, so if you can perceive something, it must be real on some level. Escaping from the reality that we currently perceive is as easy as perceiving something else. Of course, we must eventually return to the present, but hopefully we will return with the motivation to work hard and earn these joyous feelings of freedom and completion. Externalism not your thing? Maybe instead of altering your perspective on time, you should work on changing the force of time itself. In this illuminating view of time, to make time more useful, think of it in correlation to the speed of light. As Albert Einstein calculated, if the speed of light was reached, time would stop. So, on a much smaller level, the faster you move, the slower time goes. Maybe all it is going to take for you to finish up the rest of this semester is to move fast enough so that you’ll make more time for yourself. And if that’s too much of a stretch of science for you, consider one truth that we can all relate to: if you never stop moving, never stop going, and never stop working, you’re going to create a time and space in which you accomplish things beyond your imagination.

I have read hundreds of books, ranging from the classics of literature to the mostcutting edge works in philosophy out today, from Aristotle to Marx, from Xenophon to Zizek. Thanks to this university, I am the beneficiary of millennia of Western knowledge. This is at the expense of taxpayers (for my scholarships) and the federal government (for my loans). But upon exiting the university system, when I no longer study under Ph.D. holders from Yale and instead partake in the newly-diminished economy of America-at-large, will I fondly reflect upon my studies or come to regret them? And if the latter, is such a system good? I think, as I hope you shall agree, the answer is no. University is the great equalizer. Not only of sordid debt ratios, bless them much, but also of opportunity. Nowhere
Rising: Football fever The Vols won – albeit, against themselves. But what really mattered in Saturday’s Orange and White game was not the number on the scoreboard but rather the numbers in the seats. Vol Nation showed up in full, practically filling Neyland Stadium’s lower bowl with nearly 70,000 fans. Is it lunacy, for so many to care about a practice game? Not a game, not a game – practice. But even Allen Iverson would admit that, even if it was crazy, it was crazy awesome. We all remembered what it feels like to lose our individual identities in the belly of the bandwagon beast, to cheer for athletic achievement in the face of dangerous violence, to believe that, yes, we can beat Alabama this year. OK, maybe not that last one. Falling: Basketball belief Meanwhile, the BasketVols lost Jarnell Stokes and Cuonzo Martin in the span of five days. Friday, our studly giant broke countless hearts when he announced he would leave UT for the NBA draft – I think I saw at least nine girls crying and probably twice as many guys. Of course, Stokes will succeed in the pros; that smile is just begging for endorsement money, and that baby

hook was looking pretty finished in March Madness. But we’re sad to see him go, especially with Tuesday’s announcement that Coach Martin is Cali-flying his way outta here. With the loss of the SEC’s third best coach, the success of next year’s Vols could be anybody’s guess. One thing’s for certain – that “Fire Martin” petition was probably the worst thing that has happened to Dave Hart since he hired Derek Dooley’s orange pants. Rising: Tension in Ukraine Y’all – Putin’s out of control. First, he stormed into Crimea and said, “This is mine.” Naturally, the entire Western world panicked, calling it a Cold War-era sign of aggression; the United Nations, European Union and U.S. all leveled sanctions. But now, it’s getting more serious. Russian military has begun operations three regions near Ukraine, and some fighting in Eastern Ukraine suggests the country won’t back down from Putin’s flexing. President Barack Obama has a lot on his plate right now, and with important elections coming up, it will be interesting to see how involved America gets in this fight. Russian media is telling its people that pro-Russian people need protection in Ukraine – what do you think
of our love of education and instead place upon us the stigma of entitled youth. I am afraid we will come to agree with going “from pencils to paychecks” without pausing to reflect on whether or not the system, which views us as little more than batteries to be fit into slots, is actually worth maintaining. The university is the site of cultural rebellion, criticism, revolt, change. If we come to regret our time here, will we enjoy our time anywhere? Et tu, Brute? But fear has an antidote. Immanuel Kant’s tried and true maxim “dare to know” has served to liberate many a student, group or nation. Frantz Fanon’s insights into the subordinated psyche have, quite literally, incited riots in the Third World. Nowhere else are these men studied but in the university. This institution, UTK, is one among many that serve to inspire the young, educate them, and equip them with the knowledge necessary to liberate them from their circumstances, whether previous or in the future. It is where revolutions begin and, sometimes, where they end. Need I fear an upcoming economic pitfall if indeed university convinces me economics is not only a dismal science, but a false one? No. Need you? Jeremy Brunger is a senior in English. He can be reached at jbrunger@utk.edu.
American media is telling you? Falling: U.S. Airlines social media It didn’t fall – it crash-landed in the most inappropriate place possible. If you haven’t seen the tweet U.S. Airlines sent out – and left up for an hour – on Monday, you may not understand. I don’t exactly recommend looking it up, especially not at work, but it’s sufficient to say the picture is pornographic and inappropriate. The airline apologized and promised to look into the matter, but really, what is there to see? There’s nothing to do except fire everyone who has access to that Twitter account. Actually, just fire everyone. And go hide. Rising: Internet Security Concerns On April 7, cyber security experts revealed a bug in a widely used encryption software. Called the Heartbleed, the bug was discovered in a section of code approved two years ago by a developer that helps maintain a piece of free software called OpenSSL created in the mid-1990s. OpenSSL is still used by companies and government agencies almost everywhere. Heartbleed has affected popular sites such as Instagram, Facebook, Google and Netflix. There’s no evidence that anyone is exploiting the vulnerability, but the full extent of the damage caused by Heartbleed may never be discovered. Change your passwords, y’all.

EDITORIAL
in the world is there such a nation as ours, which funds everything through debt while at the same time attempting to ensure it doesn’t devolve into an oligarchy. We practically invented large-scale monopolies; we also practically invented the demolition of trusts. Where we see injustice and misery, we halt it, fix it, cure it. We have done so with the arts — I am currently reading Richard Wright’s “Black Boy” and recently submitted an article to a subset of the Johns Hopkins University press concerning Wright’s “Native Son” — and we have done so with purely economic measures. The GI Bill is one example; the HOPE scholarship is another. Why, then, the larger distrust of higher education, even within institutions of higher education themselves? Why do I feel that by studying the best minds of American history I ought to feel assaulted by the culture in which we live, where churches reign supreme and university is but an ideological apparatus meant to corrupt the youth? Why have I, a lover of university and all that it stands for, succumbed to the paranoia of the American South? The answer is fear. I am afraid I will come to regret my studies — because of their economic cost — rather than rejoice in how much I have learned the last four years. I am afraid an entire cohort of graduates will feel the same. I am afraid that, upon entering what is haphazardly called “the real world,” people will disabuse us

Former Lady Vol Meighan Simmons dodges a defender against St. John’s in the Round of 32 NCAA tournament matchup at Thompson-Boling Arena on March 24. Simmons was selected 26th overall by New York Liberty in the third round of the 2014 WNBA Draft on Monday.
BASEBALL
Vols face Western Carolina after cancelled VT matchup Staff Report In response to the cancellation of Tuesday’s Hokie-Smokey Classic at Lewis-Gale Field in Salem, Va., due to inclement weather, the No. 29 Tennessee Volunteer baseball team will
now host the Western Carolina Catamounts tonight inside Lindsey Nelson Stadium at 6 p.m. UT (23-11) will send junior Bret Marks (2-0, 4.91 ERA) to the hill against the Catamounts (23-11), who enter Knoxville as
the second place team in the Southern Conference. Admission for Wednesday’s game will be free for all attendees. No make-up date has been scheduled for the Vols’ contest against Virginia Tech.
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Former Lady Vol Simmons selected 26th overall in WNBA Draft Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor The wait was a long one. As one of the few players in the green room of the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., former Tennessee Lady Volunteer Meighan Simmons was projected as a late first-round pick. But the first round came and went without Simmons’ name being called. Then so did the second. Then it happened. With the second pick in the third round of the 2014 WNBA Draft, the 5-foot9 guard’s dream of being a WNBA player became reality when the New York Liberty selected Simmons 26th overall. “All I could think while waiting for my name to be called was be patient, and God’s got me,� Simmons said in a university release. “I’ve been put in a position to succeed, and now I just have to work 10 times harder to show that I’m just as good as anyone else.� In her final season as a Lady Vol, Simmons averaged
16.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals per contest on her way to being named SEC player of the year by the Associated Press – a year after being named coSEC player of the year by the coaches in 2012-13. As Tennessee’s lone senior, she also led the Lady Vols to an SEC Tournament title and a Sweet 16 appearance. Simmons finished her career fifth on Tennessee’s career-scoring list, pouring in 2,064 points in her four years at Knoxville. The Cibolo, Texas, native becomes the 38th Lady Vol to be selected in the WNBA Draft – the second under head coach Holly Warlick – and the fifth UT player to be drafted by the Liberty, the last being Simmons’ former teammate, Kamiko Williams, who was selected 15th overall last year. Former Lady Vol Nicky Anosike, who played from 2004-08 and was part of the team that won back-to-back national championships in 2007 and 2008, is also a current member of the Liberty. “Just bringing a lot of energy, bringing the extra
scoring ability with Cappie Pondexter, along with my former teammate Kamiko Williams,� said Simmons of what she can bring to the Liberty. “ I’m just really excited. I’m excited to see what God has planned and ready to see my purpose unfold.� But even though her plummet in the draft boards came as a surprise, Simmons still has an opportunity to contribute to a Liberty squad that went 11-23 last season, which tied for second-worst record in the WNBA. “I am so proud of Meighan,� Warlick said. “She was on the board longer than everyone expected, but she has an opportunity to show Coach Laimbeer what she can do and try to help that team win some ballgames. She has some gifts that can make her a very valuable player in the WNBA. “Obviously, she has the speed you don’t find every day, and her intensity and scoring ability also will provide immediate benefits in New York. I’m anxious to see her go to work and show everyone what she’s made of.�

MEN’S GOLF
Goss speechless after Masters successs, winning Silver Cup Patrick MacCoon Staff Writer “Indescribable.” For Tennessee sophomore golfer Oliver Goss, that single word was the only way he could describe his experience of playing in The Masters this past weekend at the age of 20 years old. “You can’t describe it in one sentence,” Goss said. “It’s different for everyone, and it means different things for each person. So for me, that’s what I have to think about and what it meant to me. “It’s the most amazing experience of my life so far.” Not only did the Australian-born golfer make the cut and play throughout the weekend at the Augusta National course, but he also finished as the low amateur in the tournament, winning the Silver Cup. The achievement gave Goss the opportunity to be in elite company, joining Bubba Watson and Adam Scott – the current and former winner of the tournament – in the Butler Cabin for a moment he will never forget. “It was amazing,” Goss said. “Bubba has won two of the last three, and Adam has won the one in-between those. To sit down with the two champions of the last three years is just an honor. I know Bubba was super emotional during that time and I can understand that, but it was really cool what he did.” The week began with
Goss sharing the links with his favorite player, Scott, during Tuesday’s practice round, even managing to secretly secure an autograph from the 2013 green jacket winner. “Last year, I was on the other side of the ropes watching him and I ended up buying a 2013 flag, and when we were on the 12th tee, I was really quiet and got him to quickly sign it for me,” Goss said. “Just to play a practice round with a former champion, you can’t really describe that experience. It’s invaluable.” Goss was the only amateur to make the cut on Friday, following a second round that saw him shoot one-under par. The highlight of his phenomenal day came on the 14th hole – known as the “Chinese Fir” – when he sunk a birdie putt to go two strokes below par on the day. “It is a really tough hole, especially the slope of the putting green,” he said. “I was fortunate to hit a really deep drive down there, and I only had to use a pitching wedge to get it on the green and stop it six or eight feet away and make the putt for birdie.” Goss, who currently ranks 15th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, finished 10 strokes over par and finished his weekend with a par on the 18th hole Sunday. “I tried to live in the moment, but it was really difficult,” he said. “I really didn’t stop and realize how special it was until the final
two holes. “I tried to take it all in because the whole week goes so fast.” If the weekend wasn’t already enjoyable enough for Goss, he also celebrated his 20th birthday on Saturday and was given a Mastersthemed birthday cake. He also had a special moment on the final hole in his third round of play. “The most unique moment of the weekend was the crowd singing happy birthday to me on Saturday afternoon after I putted out on the 18th hole,” he said. “It was a really cool moment and meant a lot to me.” While there, he also got to talk with some of the legends of the game. “I met Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Ben Crenshaw, Gary Player and Tom Watson as well and we chatted for a little bit, which was huge for me,” Goss said. “The ceremony at the end was the coolest thing on the putting green with the green jacket. That’s what the whole weekend led up to.” And while he was having the weekend of his dreams, Goss was also constantly reminded of the place he calls home, as the Volunteer faithful supported him throughout the tournament. “I got a couple hundred ‘Go Vols’ and ‘Go Big Orange’ every single day,” he said. “On Twitter everyone was going nuts, and I think I gained 2,000 more followers. “The Tennessee family is something exceptional.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Hart ‘fully expects’ UT’s signees to be part of basketball program Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor Moments after officially announcing the resignation of former Tennessee basketball head coach Cuonzo Martin in a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Athletic Director Dave Hart flipped his attention to the immediate present. With the regular period of National Signing Day beginning Wednesday, securing the four signees of the Volunteers’ 2014 recruiting class — point guard Larry Austin, power forward Phillip Cofer, shooting guard Jordan Cornish and power forward C.J. Turman — instantly becomes a top priority. “We reached out to the four prospects and tried to reassure all of them we know it’s tough,” Hart said. “You’re 17 to 22 years old, and you get a surprise. They did not expect that we would be dealing with a transition today. “So that’s difficult for them, and we’ve reassured them that we understand that.” By extending a welcoming hand of comfort and encouragement, Hart believes that
establishes the most positive environment for the signees as they begin to process Martin’s resignation and the ensuing hire. “My door is open,” Hart said. “(Executive Senior Assistant Athletic Director) John Gilbert’s door is open. They should come to us, call us. We’ve got all their numbers — they know how to reach us. We’ll be happy to have those conversations with them, and to any extent possible, (we’ll) keep them in the loop of the search process.” When Martin was hired in March 2011, a pair of signees — Chris Jones and Kevin Ware — were released from their National Letter of Intent and eventually transferred elsewhere. But for the second men’s basketball coaching search in a just more than three years, Hart isn’t preparing for the same from the 2014 quartet. “We’re not even in any of those conversations right now,” Hart said. “… We fully expect those young men to be a part of our basketball program.” Cornish, a three-star prospect from New Orleans who signed with the Vols on Nov. 13, was
the first signee to break silence, penning a message on Twitter just a few hours after Hart’s press conference concluded. “No taking any calls or text about the current situation!,” Cornish tweeted at 4:12 p.m. on Tuesday. “Taking it day by day, if you need me contact my parents.” UT, however, has already lost one commit out of their 2014 class via Twitter when Kingsley Okoroh announced that he would be following Martin to Cal. The 7-foot-1, 250-pound center from Westwind Preparatory Academy in Phoenix committed to UT on Monday afternoon but switched less than hour after Martin’s decision initially broke. “I want to thank The University Of Tennessee and the fans for your support, unfortunately I announce my decommitment from Tennessee,” Okoroh’s tweeted at 2:02 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Just two minutes later, he issued a follow-up. “I announce my commitment to the University of California Berkeley. I’m very excited to be a BEAR!”
