Daily Beacon access to campus police reports stalled Beacon Staff Report UT Media Relations and UTPD delayed The Daily Beacon’s access to public record Monday, skirting Tennessee state law. Managing Editor Emily DeLanzo, a senior in environmental studies, requested a completed police report that she believed involved Yemi

Makanjuola, a sophomore center for the men’s basketball team who will transfer to a different school next year. DeLanzo was working on a lead developed by David Cobb, the Assistant News Editor and a sophomore in journalism and electornic media. At 8 p.m. Sunday, Cobb initially requested reports that he suspected involved Makanjuola.

DeLanzo followed up on his request Monday, and visited the station to pay a small fee and receive the report inperson. She was told to wait in the lobby. A few minutes later, Public Information Officer Lt. Mike Richardson came into the lobby to inform DeLanzo that she would need to obtain the report from the UT Media Relations office. Richardson

then refunded her money. Tennessee Code Annotated 10-7-503 section (2) (A) states: “All state, county and municipal records shall, at all times during business hours ... be open for personal inspection by any citizen of this state, and those in charge of the records shall not refuse such right of inspection to any citizen, unless otherwise provided by state law.”

In Bauer vs. Kincaid, a 1990 lawsuit filed in Missouri, a district court held that a public university newspaper may obtain and publish incident reports from a campus security department. DeLanzo acquired the report almost five hours after Cobb was assured of its prompt delivery. It detailed an incident that occurred on Feb. 15 in Volunteer Hall between

Makanjuola and a female student of the university. No charges were filed, but the victim invoked an order of protection against Makanjoula. A seperate police report was also requested on Monday afternoon. As The Daily Beacon was going to print, the additional report had still not been released.

Police report filed involving former UT basketball player Beacon Staff Report An 18-year-old UT student filed a police report and sought an order of protection against former UT basketball player Yemi Makanjuola after an alleged sexual assault that reportedly occurred in February during the heart of the team’s SEC schedule. Makanjuola was granted a release from the team on Saturday. With the addition of five scholarship newcomers and the loss of just three scholarship seniors, it was only a question of who, not if someone from the 2012-13 roster would part ways with the program due to NCAA regulations that limit basketball teams to 13 scholarship players. When it was announced by head coach Cuonzo Martin that Makanjuola was granted a release, no legal charges

were mentioned in the official UT statement. “Yemi and I came to a mutual agreement that it would be in his best interest for him to get a fresh start with a new program,” Martin said. “Yemi is leaving Tennessee on good terms. He’s respected by his teammates and coaches, we all appreciate the work he’s put in during his time here and I’m confident that he’ll be successful.” Makanjuola appeared in 28 games and averaged 2.3 points and 2.8 rebounds a game as a sophomore in 201213. The 6-foot-9 center scored a season-high nine points and grabbed eight rebounds against Wichita State — an eventual Final Four team — in a game at ThompsonBoling Arena on Dec. 13. He is originally from Lagos, Nigeria, and majored in sports management during his time at UT.

Campfield weighs in on ‘Sex Week’ Carnicus to bring laughs, creativity Preston Peeden

Associate Editor

‘Sex Week’ has come and gone, but the controversy surrounding the event still lingers. As the Tennessee state Senate session closed last Friday, Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfield, who has been an outspoken opponent of ‘Sex Week,’ weighed in on the program’s performance and its future. “Is that the best place we can put our money?” Campfield asked. “Is that where the majority of students wanted their funds to go to? Is that what people who pay student activities fees are dying to have? Or were they saying, ‘Hey, is this what we have to have our student activities pay for? Is this what our state tax dollars should be paid for?’” For Campfield, the representative for Tennessee’s 7th District (which encompasses UT’s campus), the main issue with ‘Sex Week’ was the nearly $8,000 of funding from student programming fees devoted to scandalous event content. “For a long time, I’ve thought that the student programming fees were really just a boondoggle for a couple people to play and have their little fetish things with, or whatever,” Campfield said.

“… Look at the people who partake versus the number of people that have to pay for it, then what you really have is a small number of people spending the money for everybody on their own little personal things, whatever they may be.” Jacob Clark, who co-created Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee (SEAT), the student organization that put on ‘Sex Week,’ sees Campfield’s view as a bastardization of the student programming fees allocation process. “Student programming fees are available to any group that applies for them,” Clark, a junior in the College Scholars program, said. “Now, not every group gets to use them, it depends on how well put together their program is and what kind of success the program can see. The funds are there for students to decide what they’re used for, and I can’t think of a more appropriate way to spend program and services fees than allowing students to decide what it’s used for.” Not only do the coordinators of ‘Sex Week’ view the process of fee allocation as equitable, but, according to Brianna Rader, the other cocreator of SEAT, it’s just a fact of life on this campus. “I don’t think people who are making that argument

understand the consequences of student programing fees, including the new University Center and the new Student Union use student programming fees,” Rader, who is also a junior in the College Scholars program, said. “Everyone pays a study abroad fee, but not nearly every student studies abroad, and yet every student pays that five dollars.”

“Unfortunately, not every fee in life will go to something that you agree with, but that’s the whole point of student programming fees.” Regardless of the fee’s allocation process, Campfield feels that the issue with ‘Sex Week’ begins and ends with the nature of the talks. See CAMPFIELD on Page 2

secure the legendary ACE Cup. For this year’s Carnicus Director Sean Neal, the event is about more than winning bragging rights. It’s an opportunity for students to work together and express themselves, establishing a strong dynamic among the group members. “It is always exciting to see people shine bright on the stage during their performances,” Neal, a senior in accounting said. “Also, I love how close it can bring participating organizations together. Before I joined ACE, I performed in Carnicus my freshman year. It was such a positive bonding experience.” Azaria Mccomsey, a sister of Kappa Kappa Gamma, echoed this sentiment, saying the time commitment for participants is not a burden but rather a chance to rehearse and spend time with close friends. “We practice every Tuesday and Sunday,” Mccomsey, a freshman in biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology, said. “It’s fun though. I’m with my sisters.”

Few events at UT can lay claim to the recorded use of animal costumes by students to create a man-made “circus.” But Carnicus, the annual group skit competition held by All Campus Events, can. This Thursday, that tradition will continue in the Cox Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Over the last century, Carnicus has grown out of what was the June Jubilee, an end of year student celebration featuring the Glee Club, vaudeville and side shows. In 1929, Carnicus emerged as the entertaining spectacle we know today, primarily focusing on skits alone. After much preparation, organizations – such as paired fraternities and sororities – will sing, dance and act together in short, scripted performances. These skits will earn points for the most impressive groups, adding those already awarded at Volunteer Challenge, Homecoming and All-Sing. As the last event in this series of four, Carnicus is the final opportunity for participating teams to achieve the highest score and thus See CARNICUS on Page 2

Humanities Center adds to Top 25 goal Graham Gibson Staff Writer Chancellor Jimmy Cheek’s Top 25 Initiative is far from accomplished, but another step was taken this week as the Humanities Center announced its faculty and graduate fellows for the next academic year. The Humanities Center, a relatively new institution, is considered crucial to the chancellor’s goal of becoming a Top 25 public research university. Thomas Heffernan, the Kenneth Curry Professor of English and director of the Humanities Center, said that the Center is vital to accomplishing the goal. “Part of the criteria for Top 25 institutions is getting national humanities fellowships,” he said. “There are no Top 25 institutions without a humanities center: none, zero, naught.” The recipients of the Humanities Center fellowships for the next academic year include five faculty fellows and

three graduate fellows. They cover a wide range of academic studies, including history, English, classics and philosophy. Specific proposals include a philosophical study of the nature and significance of luck, Nazi racial selection and re-Germanization during World War II, and a study of Tudor era drama. Applicants for the Humanities Center fellowships go through a rigorous and competitive process. The program’s staff, as well as outside reviewers, look at the applications, which include articles, proposals for research, résumés and letters of recommendation. An average is calculated and recipients are chosen. “The spread of disciplines is varied, but we bring them together ... .” Heffernan said. Kyle Stephens, a doctoral candidate in history and graduate fellow of the Humanities Center, described the application process as extensive and competitive. “I treated the application pro-

cess as a full-time job,” he said. “I wrote, re-wrote and polished my application package until I was convinced I could do no better.” Those awarded with fellowships receive their own offices in Melrose Hall, as well as access to all the resources of the Humanities Center and an exemption from the teaching and service often required of professors for two semesters. Heffernan said the offices are the exclusive workplace of the fellows. “We have weekly luncheons in which they present and participate in discussion of their papers,” he said. “This helps stimulate interdisciplinary endeavors.” Dr. Flavia Brizio-Skov, professor of Italian and faculty fellow, enjoys the benefits afforded by the Humanities Center. “I have the possibility of spending all my time studying and writing,” she said. “We have a secretary, a photocopier and everything else you need. It’s the

ideal condition for writing.” Stephens, whose graduate research examines Indian removal during the early 19th century, agrees with Dr. BrizioSkov regarding the benefits provided by his fellowship in the Humanities Center. “They were essential,” he said. “The purpose of the Humanities Center is to provide an arena where professors and graduate students can work— meaning where they can think, write and share ideas. Both the financial backing provided by the Center, including tuition waivers and stipends, as well as the physical space to write, has been an extraordinary blessing.” Dr. Heffernan has big plans for the Humanities Center. He hopes to expand the number of resident fellows to a maximum of 14, as well as increase the number of seminars held in the center to around 80 per year from the approximately 50 it had this year. He also aims to achieve $7 million of funding by the year 2020. “There is a lot of work to do, and it is a very ambitious plan,” he said. “It is important that fellows and graduate students feel a part of this place.”

CARNICUS continued from Page 1 In tandem with the sisters of Delta Delta Delta, Mccomsey’s sorority will present a skit titled “Real Housewives in Neyland Stadium,” based on the popular reality television series. Other teams will parody student life and pop culture as well, including movies like Disney’s “Finding Nemo.”

CAMPFIELD continued from Page 1 “I don’t think it’s an appropriate issue for people to be talking about,” Campfield said. “We shouldn’t be forced to pay for somebody’s drag show. I don’t think that’s something that parents when they send their kids to college are hoping that the tuition and activities fees they pay to fund a drag show or a seminar on ‘How Many Licks Does it Take.’” Rader and Clark, however, disagree vehemently with the senator’s take on the events, which he had categorized as being a “perversion party” in the past. “These were not salacious and titillating events, these were educational and informative,” Clark said. “People came to these events pursuing more knowledge, and that was evident by how attentively they listened to the speaker and the questions they asked. “I don’t think that’s perversion, I think that’s a quest for knowledge.” This “quest for knowledge” was something that Rader felt UT’s campus needed, due to the state’s low sexual health scores. “I’m a science major, so I’m not into opinions,” Rader said. “In reports done by the Health Department and the CDC, you can see that we’re in the bottom 10 of almost every category. So I don’t think everybody already knows the information.” Ultimately, the issue for both sides came down to perception As much as fun as the performers have, Neal believes this event will be just as enjoyable for spectators. “Attendees will have the opportunity to see creative and funny skits performed by truly talented students of the university,” Neal said, emphasizing the “passion and dedication” of these participants. Mccomsey agreed that Carnicus is sure to be a night of laughter and entertainment for

and whether or not ‘Sex Week’ was an educational activity. For the coordinators of the event, the answer rests in ‘Sex Week’s’ mission statement, which Clark summed up as being centered around openness and education. “‘Sex Week’s’ mission is to create and foster open dialogue around sexuality and gender,” he said. “It’s to start that conversation to get to the root of why we have poor sexual health, poor sexual awareness and high instances of sexual assault.” This, however, is not how Campfield sees the event. “That’s just a ruse,” he said. “... It was about oral-sex seminars, ‘How to Spice Up Your Sex Life,’ the drag show and ‘How Many Licks Does it Take.’ You can yell about the good things you did, but what it came down to was an S&M queen doing a bondage seminar.” Regardless of which side of the fence someone falls on in respect to ‘Sex Week,’ Clark and Rader have accomplished one of the goals they set forward, as a new conversation has certainly been started about the merits of sex education in Tennessee public institutions. This conversation is guaranteed to be continued by both sides as plans for next year’s ‘Sex Week’ are already in the works. “We will be asking for state funding next year,” Rader promised. “And we think there will be some options for us to be able to do that next year.” everyone involved. “It’ll definitely be worth going to,” Mccomsey said. Tickets for the general public are on sale online for $15 at KnoxvilleTickets.com. Student tickets are available through the Central Ticket Office in the UC for $10 with a valid ID, while faculty and staff tickets cost $13. Doors are expected to open thirty minutes before performance time on April 25 in the Alumni Memorial Building.

An impressive ensemble cast takes on a powerful script that shows the balance and fragility of relationships between fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and good men and bad men. “The Place Beyond the Pines” has a male-dominated cast with two impressive leading men — Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. Cooper, despite gaining his initial fame with the ridiculous party comedy “The Hangover,” has recently been getting more attention as a serious actor with the success of his role as an unstable bipolar man in “Silver Linings Playbook.” He continues on his thread of seriousness in this movie as well. Cooper plays the much admired and heroic police officer Avery Cross, who will do anything for the job and justice. He is presented as the representation of “the good guy.”

Avery’s foil is Luke Glanton, played wonderfully by Ryan Gosling. In every way that Cooper’s character is respectable and proper, Gosling’s character is not. Luke is a former motorcycle stunt rider who finally comes back to his hometown of Schenectady, N.Y., only to find that his former love has a child named Baby Jason and a new beau. The child, however, is not the boyfriend’s, but Luke’s own. Luke comes across as unsympathetic, but when he realizes he has a child, the things he does to ensure the child’s wellbeing adds to the growing empathy for his character. Essentially, Luke is just a good guy as well underneath all of the authority problems and irresponsibility; he wants to be a part of his son’s life and support him like any good father, but his means of doing so are slightly amoral. After moving in with a raggedy mechanic, Luke begins

Despite his efforts and the money, Romina stays with her new boyfriend, and Luke begins to become careless with the robberies. His hasty decisions lead him to cross paths with Officer Cross, who is determined to make a name for himself in the police force by playing the hero. Life changing decisions unfold, and both men find themselves grappling with mistakes they have made. The movie then fast forwards 15 years, and the audience is introduced to their two now high school-aged sons. The mistakes their fathers have made are now theirs to battle, and they try to find a place for themselves in the two very different worlds their fathers have created. See PINES on Page 5

Open access laws ignored by UT Open access to public records is the lifeblood of journalism. Unfortunately for The Daily Beacon staff, and ultimately our readership, UT’s administration operates under a creative interpretation of the phrase “open access.” An iron triangle has evolved between UTPD, UT Media Relations and the communications department in Andy Holt Tower that has usurped the power to disseminate information to the public when and how it deems appropriate. Under Tennessee Open Records (TCA 10-7-503-505), any closed campus police report should be available for public review upon request. Given that these reports are taken from a police database, they should be available almost instantaneously for UTPD officers to distribute to any requesting citizen. Obtaining certain reports, though, is not that simple. Sunday evening, around 8 p.m., our Assistant News Editor David Cobb was following a lead. Working on a tip involving Yemi Makanjuola, he isolated a particular Crimelog brief that fit the description of a rumored incident. Accordingly, he sent a request to UTPD for access to closed case files. On Monday morning, all looked well. UTPD stated that the report would be forwarded to him shortly. It never came. The UT Media Relations Office told David that they had “been in contact with UTPD much of the day” and that we would have something later on. More than five hours later, after Managing Editor Emily Delanzo and David waited outside both UTPD and Media Relations offices, they finally received the report at 2:10 p.m. Those hours may seem trivial, but

in the world of journalism they are critical. David had been working on the story through a fortuitous tip, a perk of being a UT student with friends on campus. The Knoxville News Sentinel broke his story less than an hour after the report was released by Media Relations. That raises a few questions about the relationship between the Media Relations department and local news outlets. Is there some form of preferential treatment that allows outlets like the Knoxville New Sentinel to receive special notification whenever anything of interest comes out of UT? More importantly, though, why does a delay occur in releasing police reports at all? Administrators should not need to huddle up to make the decision to release public records. That decision has been made for them by federal and state law. UT Media Relations instructs UTPD to send Beacon staff to their office to receive any controversial police reports, and UTPD often informs UT Media Relations if Beacon reporters are asking sensitive questions. Collusion by these departments delays our access to information, and sets Beacon reporters up to get scooped. Daily Beacon staffers can’t report the news without access to information, and we can’t break the news unless these reports are provided in a timely fashion. To this end, yesterday we contacted the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D.C. with our concerns. They have sent us support materials and suggestions for our situation. To report the news, we just need the facts. — Blair Kuykendall is a senior in College Scholars and economics. She can be reached at bkuykend@utk.edu.

Boston tragedy unites nation, world Lost in Communication by

Jan Urbano For many of us, the week of April 15 felt the same as every other week. It signaled the beginning of another week of school, as well as another step closer to freedom and relaxation in the form of summer. It was also another dreaded step toward our final exams and the solidification of our future grades. As we went from class to class from the morning toward the afternoon, nothing noteworthy happened – it was business as usual for students here at UT and the rest of the nation. At 2:49 p.m. on Monday, the Boston bombings occurred. As students and Americans came back from their work and classes, the news of the horrific bombing quickly spread. Over the course of the next few days, a national outpouring of thoughts, prayers and support were sent to the city of Boston and to those who were injured or killed in the devastating blasts. The international community, celebrities and ordinary people joined in to condemn the two people that were found to have perpetrated the attacks. When I found out about the attacks, it was not until I was finished with most of my classes. Hearing of the attacks, I could not help but remember the feelings that arose within me during another gruesome event – 9/11. The gruesome nature of the Boston bombings was illustrated through the numerous videos and pictures released soon after. People expressed faces full of fear, anguish, and confusion amid a scene of blood trails and pools. It felt sickening, to say the least, to see the videos and pictures. To some, the attacks illustrated the cruel and harsh nature of the world. However, the

attacks also showed an opposite side – the caring and courageous nature that people have. In our media today, we hear of the endless amounts of bloodshed that happen all over the world. With the Boston bombings, one can easily say that the world is an abhorrent, unforgiving and deceiving place, full of vile people that will not hesitate in killing others if given the chance. However, we must also remember that there is good in the world, as well. The courageous citizens and people who put their own lives at risk to attend to those who lay injured or dying after the bombings are prime examples of this. In the face of adversity and possible death, instead of running away for shelter, they ran toward danger. It wasn’t long before people here in the United States quickly organized efforts to track down the attackers, with normal citizens and government agencies sharing valuable information to find this common enemy. The Boston bombing crisis unified the nation in a way not unlike that of the 9/11 attacks. Instead of causing fear and cynicism, it caused the exact opposite to arise. We were shown the altruistic and tenacious side that all humans, not just Americans, exhibit. Thanks in part to the combined efforts of stalwart, empathetic, and compassionate individuals, the injuries and casualties from the Boston bombings was suppressed, and we found the culprits of the heinous event. We must remember to honor all of those who were affected by the attacks, and take to heart what one banner from the recent London marathon said: “Run if you can, walk if you must, but finish for Boston.” With this last sentence, I wish all of you a happy and safe summer and hope to see you in fall 2013.

There is something infinitely crueler, yet infinitely more rewarding, about the mad rush of the final week of school and exam week in the spring than the fall. With the return of warm weather and the siren call of the pool, the motivation required to finish everything is ridiculous. But, the rewards, the sweet freedom of three months of summer, makes the week or two of misery worth it. Instead of doing that, however, I’ve found myself – quite reasonably I think – reflecting on my time at UT, and how to process this whole graduating-college-becoming-an-adult thing. I’ve found that whatever it is that we study, the most important lessons of university are the ones we learn about ourselves. The wonderfully awkward in-between years of 18-22 at university are a wonderful gift that we can choose to use discovering ourselves and how we want to spend our lives, and it is never too late to start. I didn’t “get it” until the spring of my first senior year, but despite this late start, I’m leaving UT ready to become a functioning member of society. I will spend the next two years serving in the Peace Corps, a challenging endeavor that I would never have been prepared for without my struggles and triumphs at UT. Whatever it is in life that calls to us, however, these are the years that provide that all important foundation on which to build future success. Life, whatever our opinions on its existence or what happens afterwards, is a beautiful and arduous experience, one that should continually be discovering even more transformitive experiences. We owe it to ourselves and to those who have lead us to whatever point in our lives we are at to never become complacent, to continually search

for whatever wonder and transcendent experience that makes life so incredible. The road to college graduation is a long one, and one made infinitely easier with some substantial help. To my roommates and partners in crime Pearson and Chris, thank you for tolerating my occasional (perhaps frequent) rants – living with anyone else this year would have been slightly boring, to say the least. To other friends and classmates through the years whatever relationship we may have today, thank you – you have all been an unforgettable part of my UT experience. To the professors in the English and French departments, thank you for the countless office hours of conversation and turning me into a better writer and more critically aware individual – these are skills that I will use the rest of my life. To my wonderful parents, I owe you guys a debt that I will never be able to repay. I’ve been allowed to follow my passions, perhaps to an indulgent degree, but I’ve arrived at graduation as an individual ready to direct my own life, and I have your love and support to thank for that. Finally, I would like to thank everyone for reading this semester. It has been a true pleasure and privilege, and I’ve managed to have a lot of fun in the process. I’ve learned that writing a weekly column is a bigger responsibility than I had could have imagined; every word is yours to own, permanently – I cringe every time I catch a typo after submission. More than anything though, I have enjoyed this opportunity to have a platform to make my arguments and defend my opinions. To those seniors graduating in a few weeks, enjoy these last few days of undergraduate freedom, go forth into the world and make yourselves, your family and your alma mater proud.

Kid Cudi innovates with lyrics Miles Carter Staff Writer “Once you realize you can do anything, you’re free ... You could fly.� The first words of an album are often an indicator of the overall feel and direction of the album, and the new album “Indicud� is no exception. While producing or co-producing, writing and singing/rapping on every track, Scott Mescudi, who goes by the stage name Kid Cudi, genuinely believes he can do anything. “Indicud� attempts to reinvent Kid Cudi, once again, with an indie/rap fusion album that he likens to Dr. Dre’s “2001.� Dr. Dre’s “2001� is a beloved rap album because it is one of the first albums where a rap artist produced or co-produced every song and even left some songs devoid of his vocals entirely. However, there is a stark difference between Dr. Dre and Kid Cudi. Dr. Dre had always been primarily a producer while Cudi has always been the more of the writer/rapper. Cudi’s role switch to producer generally pays off within the album. Although songs like “New York City Rage Fest� sound like something any kid with GarageBand or a beat-pad could produce, some songs have very simple and repetitive beats that allow for a much rawer sound and emphasize the vocals and lyrics far more than most main-

stream rap beats. “Just What I Am,� featuring King Chip, is a perfect example of this. The instrumental has only two or three layers, which is unheard of for most rap songs. Because of this, Cudi and King Chip’s lyrics about their favorite “herb� resonate astoundingly well. The chorus, which is fabulously layered with vocals from Cudi, reverberates in your ears and stays stuck in your head for days.

The lyrical content of this song is much more than typical marijuana anthems. It’s an ode to being a free-spirit. “Just What I am� also gives fans a look into Cudi’s mind by illustrating his reaction to pills prescribed by his psychiatrist. “Indicud� does, however, have a few disappointing songs, but none more unsatisfying then “Solo Dolo, Part II,�

featuring Kendrick Lamar. The disappointment stems from two things. First, “Solo Dolo� is a fan favorite song for not only its lyrical content but also its superb production; second, Lamar is currently one of the biggest names in the rap game. Because of these two reasons, fans of either artist could reasonably expect an epic song. Sadly, the collaborative effort falls short. The beat is no match to its predecessor and even

with a solid verse from Lamar, the lyrics lack the content that is so easily identifiable from the original “Solo Dolo.� Although “Indicud� has quite a few rap songs, the album is ultimately an indie record, hence the name of the project. Songs like “Immortal� and “Red Eye,� featuring Haim, really drive this point home. Other than harmoniz-

ing on the chorus, “Red Eye� is almost entirely absent of Cudi’s vocals and is sung by the entirely female indie band featured on the track. “Immortal� is an ode to living life without fear on top of powerful strings and bass and is entirely devoid of rapping, the perfect platform for Cudi to showcase his improving vocals. The album is wrapped up with one of the most surprising collaborations one will ever hear. “Afterwards,� featuring Michael Bolton and King Chip, is a groovy after-party tune. Bolton, one of the most famous pop-artists of the ‘70s and ‘80s, provides one of the most original sounding juxtapositions ever heard on a song with a rapper. King Chip, whose presence may be a little too prevalent on “Indicud,� vibes surprisingly well with Bolton’s groovy chorus. “Afterwards� is over 9 minutes long and the second half of it is the beginning of the outro. This song is the perfect closing song to a very original album. Although “Indicud� may have a bit too many features from King Chip and probably needs some instrumentals from past producers like Kanye West, Emile and Plain Pat, “Indicud� is a solid start to a promising production career and a continuation of Kid Cudi’s constant attempts to reinvent himself. “Indicud� is available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes and can be listened to for free on Spotify.

PINES continued from Page 3 “The Place Beyond the Pines� is one of those movies that takes a while to get where it needs to be going. Be prepared to sit through two and a half hours of drama, which at times is slow and tedious. The first hour or so is a complete setup for the second half, and it’s during this first hour that the film can become somewhat boring. Despite some dullness in the first half, the slow storytelling is definitely necessary to have the audience completely understand the motives and emotions of the sons and fathers in the second half. The acting is wonderful and leaves viewers’ minds reeling about what is means to be truly good or truly bad. Director and writer Derek Cianfrance paints a picture showing that no person is either one or the other, but a combination of both, which is more true to human nature than the many superhero movies we have been accustomed to in the past few years.

Loss could be good for softball postseason

Vols look to bounce back at MTSU

School is winding down, exams are just around the corner and sports are probably the last thing on the minds of UT students right now. So in case you have not noticed, the Lady Vols softball team — who is 42-6 and first place in the SEC — is on a 19-game winning streak. This season’s 19-game streak matches the 2011-12 streak but has the opportunity to surpass last year’s longest run. But the question I pose here is, is it better to lose now and possibly be more prepared for the postseason or to enter postseason play on a win streak? Personally, I’m not sure that the 2012 Kentucky men’s basketball team wins the national championship if they don’t lose to Vanderbilt in the SEC Championship game. Yes, Kentucky was the best team in the country, but if that team of young players goes into the NCAA Tournament with 24-straight wins I think that Indiana or Louisville could have upset them. On the other hand, you have teams like UCLA in the late 1960s who didn’t lose all season, or the UCONN women’s basketball teams who won 78 straight games. When it is boiled down, it is different for every team. The history proves it. In the case of this Lady Vols team, it would benefit them to lose a game. Maybe even to a bad team during the midweek. Sure, it would be great for Tennessee to win out, win the SEC Tournament, breeze through regionals and tear through Oklahoma City like a big orange tornado. But with this team, with five All-Americans and three USA softball members, they have the propensity to lag at times. They know that they’re good,

Cristina Hodge Staff Writer The Tennessee Volunteers Baseball team suffered a 4-3 defeat against the Ole Miss Rebels on Sunday, completing a sweep of the weekend series that left the Vols outscored 15-7. It was a devastating loss for the Volunteers as Tennessee entered the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead against No. 17 Ole Miss who managed to seize three runs and win the game by one. “We’re disappointed after every loss,” pitcher Zack Godley said. “It hurts, but it sucks to lose that way. We’ve got to come back next week and get better. That’s all I can do.” The Vols had high hopes for a win against Ole Miss as a home run hit from Christin Stewart in the eighth inning put them ahead going in to the ninth. “I just try to carry the momentum at the plate and get comfortable up there, swing at good pitches and put good swings on balls,” Stewart said on his offensive success this past weekend. The coaches didn’t have a lot to say to the players after the upsetting loss on Sunday afternoon. “In those kinds of situations, there’s not really any words that’s going to make them feel better; there’s nothing you can say,” head coach Dave Serrano said. “What I did tell them is that Tuesday we get another opportunity to get better as a team, and

that hopefully this adversity will make us a stronger team. “This game can be very cruel and it’s pretty cruel to us right now.” Although the series defeat left the team feeling disappointed, the Vols are working on putting their losses behind them and finding ways to be more successful in the coming weeks. “I don’t think you need to be a baseball genius to realize where we’re falling short in being successful. Yesterday it was execution. Today it was defense,” Serrano said. Tennessee has a long way to go if they plan to step up to the plate and finish the season off strong. Serrano said the Vols need to work on becoming a more fundamental team. “We’re just finding ways – and I’m not proud to say this at all – to not be successful,” Serrano said. “Whether it’s us putting too much pressure on ourselves to win instead of just sticking to the fundamentals, (I don’t know). I’m ashamed to say we’re not a very fundamental team right now, and that’s hard for me to say. We’re not doing the things you have to do to be successful.” As the Vols (17-21, 5-13) shake off their weekend series loss, they prepare for their game against MTSU (22-20, 7-11) in Murfreesboro on Tuesday. “We’ve got to find a way to get out of this and to be more successful. That’s the bottom line,” Serrano said. First pitch in Murfreesboro is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.

which can be a positive but can also be harmful. Against Auburn, a team that is 7-14 in conference play, two weekends ago they didn’t look like the same Tennessee team that gave top-5 Texas A&M a welcoming to the SEC with a series sweep. They’ve already had one loss like this on the year, a 3-1 loss to the College of Charleston, but proceeded to reel off sevenstraight before losing a onerun game to No. 1 Alabama. There are six games left in the season, all against SEC opponents. This coming weekend Tennessee hosts Arkansas (30-17, 8-10) and travels to Missouri (26-7, 11-6) to close out the regular season. It is highly possible that the Lady Vols go to Lexington, Ky., for the SEC Tournament with Tia Patron • The Daily Beacon 25-straight wins.
