Young Vols excited to play in front of fans Rob Harvey
Asst. Sports Editor Over the past few years, with many of the Tennessee football team injured, the Vols went different with the annual Orange and White game having the offense go against the defense instead of two teams going against each other. This year, the Vols will continue with that concept of the game because of the amount of injuries once again. The offense will take on the defense on Saturday, April 22, at Neyland Stadium with many competitions in between to keep the fans entertained. “It will be pretty much the same format,” head coach Butch Jones said. “We’ll have Circle of Life, some one-on-ones, we’ll have our quarterback challenge, with a little new wrinkle this year and punter challenge, and then we’ll play football.” Starting on March 21, the Vols have gone through practice every Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday in order to prepare for the upcoming fall season. The game on Saturday closes out the spring season. For some of the players who were redshirted last year or were early enrollees, this game will give them their first opportunity to play in Neyland Stadium in front of Tennessee fans. “I think it’s everything for the kids (playing this game in Neyland Stadium),” offensive coordinator Larry Scott said. “They take these 14 practices, and they wind it up really tight to go out and say, ‘Hey this stadiums got people in it and it’s been awhile since that’s happened.’ Some young kids are excited about the opportunity because they haven’t done it yet.” Vols’ fans will be disappointed on Saturday, however, as many of the Vols’ stars won’t be participating in the game. Some of the Vols out for the game include Jonathan Kongbo, Emmanuel Moseley, Evan Berry, Micah Abernathy and more. On Tuesday, Jones announced that running back John Kelly would be questionable for the game on Saturday as well.

“We have to get him ready for a long season ahead in preparing this football team for 2017,” Jones said. “We’ll see where he’s at for Saturday and make that determination later in the week.” One thing fans will be excited for on Saturday is the quarterback battle between Jarrett Guarantano and Quinten Dormady. The competition has gone on all spring and fans are interested to see which quarterback will get the majority of snaps with the first team offense. Before the game, Vol fans can participate in fan day from 1:30-2:30 on Saturday where they can get autographs from the players and coaches. The game will begin at 4 p.m. and can be seen on the SEC Network. Admission is also free. “It’s a great evaluation tool for us to really see how our players perform,” Jones said. “A lot of individuals, they haven’t performed much so it’ll be a great opportunity for them and a great opportunity for our fans and we’re looking forward to that.”

UT Opera to perform adaptation of ‘The Crucible’ McNeeley Moore Staff Writer
For years, play audiences and classrooms alike have enjoyed Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” The same story is told in an entirely different way in Robert Ward’s opera adaptation, and the School of Music will introduce Rocky Top to this version through the UT Opera Theatre production. Although not as known as the play, director of the UT production James Macauley mentioned that many actually prefer the opera version of “The Crucible.” “Robert Ward’s music is absolutely stunning,” Macauley said. “The music gets to the very heart of the drama ... It is extremely evocative and compelling.” Main actress Allison Deadly, who portrays character Elizabeth Proctor, added that the dif-
ferences add to the story, making this performance stand out. “While the story of ‘The Crucible’ is well known, I think audiences will be surprised by the differences between the opera and the play,” Deadly said. “Robert Ward’s lush score provides a perfect backdrop for this dramatic plot line. The addition of music to this story heightens the emotions and drama in a drastic way.” Adapting the play to an opera, rather than a musical, also adds a different acoustic aspect, as the singers don’t wear microphones, creating a different auditory experience. “Opera is, in my opinion, the rawest use of the voice in theater. No microphones, no effects, just melody, text and emotion,” Deadly said. “Opera utilizes the human voice to its fullest potential in terms of beauty and volume. People often talk about how music is the universal language. It many times allows you to communicate things which words cannot.” Macauley agreed, also noting the artistic
value of opera. A traditional form of music as art, performing “The Crucible” as an opera adds another layer to the piece. “It appeals to the heart as well as the mind,” Macauley said. “Opera is entertaining art, as opposed to artistic entertainment.” This emotional experience, heightened by the musical power of opera, still holds relevance, Macauley said, although “The Crucible” tells a fictionalized version of the historical Salem Witch Trials in 1692. “The hysteria of the piece and the time period it depicts is not unlike what we are experiencing today and is therefore extremely relevant to modern audiences,” Mccauley said. “Audiences can expect an extremely visceral experience that gets to the very heart of human psychology.” “The Crucible” will have three performances on April 21-23 at the Bijou Theatre downtown.

Like flowers in spring, vinyls return to Knoxville McNeeley Moore Staff Writer
What is the importance of vinyl records and record stores in the modern age of Spotify and iTunes? “The importance? A different listening experience entirely,” Magnolia Records store owner Carey Balch answered. Balch’s store, Magnolia Records, owned alongside his business partners Paxton Sellers and Steve Green, opened their doors early this April. North of downtown Knoxville, just past Old City next to Public House, the yellow building features a logo with a magnolia flower reflecting the title. Inside, the trio offers handpicked vinyl from new independent artists to collectable classics. Stacks of vinyl copies line the aisles and walls for visitors to browse through and explore. The genres widely vary from jazz to indie rock and beyond. Although the selection is wide, Magnolia Records promises that all the records will be far from the mainstream titles one might find in a typical music store. There’s nothing that’ll be on the top 40 charts. Instead, the smaller collection is intentional. Each record is placed there for a reason, according to the owners. Magnolia Records wants to highlight a high quality, well-thought-out, harder to find vinyl selection. It’s a quality over quantity mindset the owners strive to achieve. There’s also a growing CD collection, although vinyl is certainly the focus. The idea for Magnolia Records started following the closing of the popular vinyl warehouse, Disc Exchange, last year. The three owners all worked at the Disc Exchange at one point in
Magnolia Records recently opened its doors and is located on 214 W Magnolia Ave. Kristin Dehkordi • The Daily Beacon time, which was a foundation for their knowledge of vinyl and the vinyl business. Balch was working at a recording studio down the street when he had the idea to open a record store in the basement, reflecting record stores he greatly admires in music powerhouse cities such as Nashville and Asheville. Then, he approached Sellers. “At the time, I was discussing opening a store as well,” Paxton said. The two put their heads together and brought Green along, who works at the local concert venue, the Mill & Mine, and started planning for Magnolia Records. The store opened at the time of music festival Big Ears, and has drawn in a variety of music lovers. Despite the opening at a time that draws many visitors to town, Balch mentioned that the store really draws in the Knoxville community as well.
“The record store really benefits the music community,” Balch said. “It’s tremendous. The community offers us loads of input. We try to reflect their unique ‘do it your own way’ mindset, and pull from different people in the community.” To the owners, this music community is the kind promoting that different kind of listening experience Magnolia Records strives for. Magnolia Records wants to be a part of the answer to those seeking that different experience, Balch said. “It does depend on the listening experience you want,” Balch said. “If you want to drive in the car and just listen to background noise, it’s going to be different for you. But for vinyl lovers, it’s a different approach. “There are people seeking that different approach in record stores, as records fly off the shelves.”

Brain Games: The cerebral impact of sexual assault We already know that sexual assault can leave a lasting psychological impression in a person’s psyche, but it’s cerebral affect on an individual’s brain is still a relatively new field of research. When a victim recounts their experience of sexual assault — defined by the United States Department of Justice as “any type of sexual conduct or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient” — there are often times where the storyline becomes jumbled, and it can feel like new details seem to ebb and flow in their clarity. Sometimes, the lack of clarity and confidence in a victim’s report may mistakenly lead others to question the legitimacy of the report, thus discouraging victims from filing reports in the first place. To better understand this issue, researchers have looked at the type of brain activity that occurs during an assault which may lead to impaired recollection down the line. According to the Arkansas Coalition Against Sexual Assault, there are many neurological events taking place in the brain when a person experiences sexual assault. The amygdala, which is the main control center for primal emotions like anger and fear, recognizes a threat to the individual’s environment and sends a signal to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus acts as a bridge from the nervous system, receiving inputs via electrical signals, to the endocrine system,
which is responsible for releasing or repressing certain chemicals in your brain. During an assault, the hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland, and catecholamines flood the body. Catecholamines are hormones that are produced when a person is under physical or emotional stress, including norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline). While these chemicals are useful in a “fight-orflight” response, an overload of them within the body can cause a person to “freeze.” In “The Neuroscience of Trauma from Sexual Assault,” Kathryn Gigler explains that this “freeze” response causes an individual to go into a state of “tonic immobility,” making them unable to “fight back or flee the situation … because of this hormonal activation by the (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis.” Catecholamines are produced in these dangerously high levels during traumatic experiences, and in addition to causing the body to “freeze,” they may impair neuropathways involving hierarchical thinking, such as rational thought processes. Opiate hormones are also released in the brain at around the same time that trauma triggers catecholamines. These hormones act as morphine to block physical and emotional pain and have the possibility of making a victim feel like they’re in a daze during the assault. Gigler said this may explain why victims often feel like they can’t escape from their assaulter.
Since the brain spent so much effort blocking out trauma perception during the assault, how does it cope in the aftermath? Many victims of sexual assault can develop varying symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, which “can include emotional numbness, intrusive memories of the traumatic events (or flashbacks) and hyperarousal (being anxious or constantly on guard),” as defined by Gigler. In a study published in the “American Journal of Psychiatry,” 51 women from Atlanta — half having experienced childhood abuse and half not having experienced it — volunteered to undergo brain scans in order to measure their brain’s cortical thickness. Cortical thickness, as explained by Maia Szalvitz in “Sexual and Emotional Abuse Scar the Brain in Specific Ways,” is linked to brain development, with thicker regions generally suggesting healthier growth. The brain scans found that the women who had experienced sexual abuse as children had thinner cortical material in the somatosensory region of their brain, which processes information received from the skin, muscles and joints. Due to the overload of catecholamines and opiate-like hormones in the brain and the “freeze” physical sensation, a sexual assault victim may have trouble describing or expressing what their mind and body went through. An individual’s difficulty
in recollection can range from an inability to piece together an accurate timeline of events to feeling overwhelmed by the memories. When trying to recall the assault, a victim’s recollection can seem fuzzy or unclear because of the variety of chemicals that were released as a natural mechanism to ensure they would “not” remember. The road ahead for sexual assault victims is a long one. Even if reports have been filed and been taken seriously by law enforcement, the psychological aftermath is not easy. Victims can be deterred by the thought of future romantic relationships or even close friendships. There is also a common stigma that sexual assault is at the fault of the victim, which is untrue. Programs such as Sex Week hope to educate college students without the fear of stigma that often looms overhead. Campaigning for effective and efficient sex education programs throughout public schools, promoting bystander accountability, reporting assaults and seeking or providing help if you are a sexual assault victim or know one are just a few of many ways we can make meaningful progress.

Title IX compliance reflects, responds to culture change Bradi Musil
Editor-in-Chief
Luci Baines Johnson, daughter of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, was forced to drop out of Georgetown University’s School of Nursing and Health Studies in 1966. It was the same year she got married, and at the time, Georgetown did not permit married, female students to attend, believing they were just wasting the institution’s resources. “(Colleges) felt that married women would waste the education they received because they would just leave and have babies, and they would never apply that education in the way it was meant to,” Jenny Richter, UT’s Title IX coordinator and vice chancellor for equity and diversity, said at a Sex Week panel on Thursday, April 6. Two years later, in 1968, President Johnson signed an executive order prohibiting federal contractors, including university officials, from discriminating the employment of workers on the basis of sex, race, color, religion or national origin. This laid the foundation for President Richard Nixon to sign Title IX into law in 1972. Title IX was a response to countless lawsuits filed in the ‘60s and ‘70s because of sex discrimination cases like Luci Johnson’s. In only 37 words, Title IX encompasses everything from athletic programs to sexual violence. The law reads: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
“
“Each part of that simple statement has been dissected to the nth degree,” Richter said. “Title IX really was the opening of the doors for individuals — I mean men and women, because there were federally funded, public schools that were also closed to men — so while a majority of the doors were closed for women, it does apply across the board and across genders.” While the language and the law have remained the same since Title IX’s creation 45 years ago, the culture and concepts surrounding sexual violence, gender equality and sex discrimination have drastically changed. With an evolving culture, educational institutions are also expected to respond with similarly evolved regulations or policies to remain compliant. “Congress comes up with the law, and then regulations have to be implemented so people understand what we’re supposed to do with this,” Richter said. “There’s nothing in there that talks about athletics. There’s nothing in there that talks about a science class. So, federal agencies are given the responsibility of interpreting these things and creating guidance.” However, sometimes these changes in regulation can lead to a lot of confusion or misinformation. For example, every year the Office of Equity and Diversity compiles a report for the State of Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury, which includes the number of Title IX complaints from the past year. Over the last few years, the numbers have skyrocketed — showing 129 complaints for the fiscal year in 2016, 54 in 2015 and only one Title IX complaint in 2013. Richter said these jumps are not necessarily the result of an increase in Title IX

offenses, but rather the result of several reporting and categorizing changes as well as an increase in campus awareness of sexual violence and Title IX issues. “What the state of Tennessee used to want to know is how many Title IX complaints we got, where the only thing you’re looking at is when students walked through the door and said, ‘I have a Title IX complaint,’” Richter said. “Nobody ever did that, so in the old days people (institutions) reported very, very few complaints.” Richter said the university now counts all complaints that fall under Title IX and the university’s sexual misconduct policy, whether the complainant calls it a Title IX violation or not. Instead of only reporting “Title IX complaints,” which resulted in very few each year, the university reports all complaints described as sexual assault, rela-
tionship violence and stalking, among others, which result in numbers close to 100. The university’s old method of reporting, Richter said, mirrored how other higher education and state institutions were reporting their complaints. The change in reporting practices was a result of several factors, including the April 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter released by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and the more than 100 ongoing federal investigations at higher education institutions for the suspected mishandling of Title IX violations. UT was added to this list of investigated universities in 2015. Kayla Parker, founder of UT Students Who Stand, a group of students who have experienced sexual violence on campus, said she suspects universities previously only
documented literal “Title IX” complaints to make their assault numbers appear low. “I believe universities want to sweep the number of sexual assaults that are actually occurring on campus under the rug as to not invoke panic amongst student population, faculty members or donors,” Parker, senior in sociology, said. “If there’s a high number of sexual assault cases and Title IX complaints, that might be something that’s looked at negatively by people thinking about sending their children to the University of Tennessee or by people who are thinking about continually donating money, if they feel like it is an unsafe environment.” A high number of Title IX complaints on a university campus should not necessarily be seen as a negative, Richter said, but rather an indication that the college is working to
build an environment where students feel safe reporting an attack and where students know how to report such incidents. “I would expect that the more training that we do and the more exposure we have, then the more reports we are going to get,” Richter said. “I do think that there have been an increase in reports — absolutely, positively — but whether or not that that means there are more incidents of it (Title IX offenses), I hope not. Because, if there are more incidents, with all this training and all this notification, then we are really going backwards. “But, I really have to hope that we are getting more reports because more people know that you can, and they know that it’s wrong, and they know they’ll be supported.” However, Parker said the majority of members in UT Students Who Stand,
“
We can say we support survivors, and we can say we believe them, but we have to start thinking about practical proccesses that will ensure survivors feel more supported.”
which is comprised of 19 female students, chose not to report their attack to the university because they lack confidence in UT’s ability to handle such reports appropriately. They fear their story won’t be taken seriously or, in some cases, won’t even be believed, Parker said. “A lot of survivors don’t feel like they are valued over their perpetrator,” Parker said. She further explained that patriarchal societies and rape culture have fostered a toxic campus environment where victims, especially women, are burdened with proving their attack while alleged perpetrators often have an easier time maintaining their innocence. “We can say we support survivors, and we can say we believe them, but we have to start thinking about practical processes that will ensure survivors feel more supported,” Parker said. With the increase in awareness of sexual violence and the complexities that surround consent, Parker said she is optimistic that the experiences of survivors on college campuses are positively changing. She said this is due to organizations, like UT Students Who Stand, who work to provide unconditional support and avenues for empowerment after an attack. “It’s important that we are now having an accurate count of how many people are assaulted,” Parker said. “I haven’t had any drastic increases in people joining my organization, but I have seen drastic change in

women across the campus feeling confident to tell their story.” Parker expects UT Students Who Stand to grow, knowing that statistically 1 in 4 university women experience assault and 19 members on a campus of nearly 30,000 enrolled students is a marginal number. Ultimately, Richter said as the number of complaints continue to climb, the university will be expected to respond accordingly with programs that both prevent and address sexual discrimination on campus, even if she does not believe there are more incidents. “We have a lot of students who need assistance and help, and that’s going to challenge the institution to handle that well,” Richter said. “But I think we are doing that. I think we have an excellent care and support system. Investigations are still difficult — they’ll always be difficult because you’ve always got two sides — but I think we’ve got good processes and procedures in place.” Reports and statistics about campus sexual misconduct can be found at http:// sexualassault.utk.edu/. UT Students Who Stand will host an event on Wednesday, April 26, at 5 p.m. in AMB 27 where Kamilah Willingham from The Hunting Ground will speak, and survivors are invited to tell their story, listen to others or submit theirs to be spoken anonymously.

Lecturer discusses relationship between U.S., Turkey Libby Dayhuff
Staff Writer Bulent Aliriza informed a crowd on U.S.Turkey relations on April 19 in his lecture titled “US-Turkey Relationship: A Troubled Alliance?� about the history and future of the two countries. Aliriza is director of the Turkey Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., and has served as a Turkish Cypriot diplomat in New York and Washington, D.C. The event was a part of the Baker Center’s Distinguished Global Security lecture series. During his lecture, Aliriza focused on Turkey’s actions and the country’s alliance with the U.S. He discussed how Turkey’s geographical position between Europe and the Middle East has affected its relationships with other nations, like the U.S. and
Russia, throughout history. The alliance between the U.S. and Turkey began during the Cold War after its proximity to the former Soviet Union increased Cold War tensions. “There was really no relationship between Washington (D.C.) and Ankara (Turkey) prior to the Cold War. There was no geographic proximity, no important trade relationships between the two countries, and there wasn’t any economic interactions,� Aliriza said. While Turkey did not join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) because of its lack of democratic values, that changed when Russia attempted to invade the country. After joining NATO, Turkey accepted some American values and became an important ally for the U.S. “Turkey accepted democracy in order to join NATO because they were afraid of Soviet invasion after the second World War,� Aliriza said. “Turkey looked to the United States as an emerging western alli-
ance, and the U.S. became interested in Turkey because of the Cold War.� However, after the Cold War, the relationship between the two countries began to deteriorate, becoming predominately military agreements. “The post-Cold War era led to the refashioning of the U.S.-Turkish alliance, almost without either side giving any thought to it,� Aliriza said. Aliriza said the Iraq war severely hurt the alliance when Turkey refused to allow the U.S. to go through its northern territory to Iraq and that the Obama administration’s response to the conflict in Syria further deteriorated the relationship. Turkey was actively involved in Syria, and the U.S. opposition to help during the conflict frustrated Turkey, making the country turn to Russia, Aliriza said. “The big picture is that what Turkey wanted in Syria hasn’t happened, and Turkey has ended up cooperating with Russia,� Aliriza said.
President Donald Trump has called the Turkish president on multiple occasions, and his most recent call on April 18 was to congratulate him for passing a referendum that expanded Erdogan’s powers as president. “With Trump, President Erdogan is clearly hopeful of a better relationship,â€? Aliriza said. “Trump does not seem to care much about how countries govern themselves ‌ So we’ll see about where this leads,â€? Aliriza said. Robert Frederick, junior in neuroscience, agreed with Aliriza and said the relationship’s future will be determined by the president. “(The alliance) is mostly dependent upon Trump,â€? Frederick said. “If he slows down with his future decisions, then it could work out, but with the way things have been going, he really needs to listen to his experts when it comes to the diplomatic relationship with Turkey.â€?

How to beat Str8ts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These QHHG WR EH ÂżOOHG LQ ZLWK QXPEHUV WKDW complete a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are formed.

Trio of freshmen look to lead Vols to conference title Staff Report
Two weeks ago, the University of Tennessee men’s golf team concluded the 3M Augusta Invitational with a 12th-place finish. The week before that, the Vols won the Kingsman Intercollegiate after shooting even par in the final round. But now, they’re gearing up for an even bigger tournament. The 2017 SEC Championship will take place this Friday, April 21, and will span over four days total. The first two days of the match will include three rounds of stroke play with the last two days being match play. Sunday will be the final match of the year. This year marks the first time the championship extends to four days in total. The course itself is rated No.1 in the country among the “World’s 50 Best Golf Hotels” by Golf Digest Index and offers three 18-hole courses, one of which has been host to the PGA TOUR’s McGladrey Classic. Tennessee is ranked as the No. 67 team in the country according to Golfstat.com. According to head coach Jim Kelson, this will be one of the younger teams that Tennessee has had compete in the SEC Tournament in recent memory. Senior Juan Carlos Serrano and junior Lorenzo Scalise are the only two upperclassmen participating with freshmen Nolan Ray, Rhys Nevin and Brayden Garrison also slated to take place in this year’s conference tournament. “We’re pretty young, but I feel good about the freshman, they’re good players, I think they’re excited to play and represent Tennessee,” Kelson said. “I feel good about this team … I don’t think the magnitude of the championship will be a factor for our freshman. I really don’t.” Coach Kelson also said that he isn’t paying attention to individuals but more the collective whole. The Vols’ freshmen aren’t strangers to stiff competition, however. Nevin, who was named SEC Men’s Freshman
“
They really all got to standout this week. They’ve got to play the best of their ability in order for us to have a good championship.” Jim Kelson, head coach
Golfer of the Week on March 1, has had eight total rounds of par or better this year averaging 73.66. Ray finished fourth in the Kingsman Intercollegiate with an even par of 210, just one stroke off of first place. Ray’s average this year through nine rounds is 72.77. Garrison shot a 2-under in his first collegiate round ever at the Carpet Capital Collegiate and averages 75.13 in his 15 rounds played. Another major player to watch for is Scalise, the team’s lone senior who has notched 14 rounds of par or better and 37 rounds in his career here at UT averaging 72.83. Despite the strong individuals, Kelson looks for more of a group effort in a championship like this. “We’re not really looking for any individual to standout,” Kelson said. “They really all got to standout this week. They’ve got to play to the best of their ability in order for us to have a good championship.” The Vols take Wednesday to travel and will begin practice Thursday with championship play beginning on Friday, April 21. Pairings have not been announced yet, but all results, pairings and leaderboards can be seen at golfstat.com.
