An end to scrutiny

Thirteen months after her termination as student judical affairs director, investigators determine allegations against Jenny Wright unfounded Samantha Smoak

Managing Editor Jenny Wright, former director of student judicial affairs, has been cleared of any misconduct following a 13-month investigation.

In May 2013, Wright was accused of having inappropriate relationships with student athletes. She was placed on leave pending an investigation based on a claim the university received about alleged inappropriate behavior, UT Media Relations Director Karen Simsen said.

Despite receiving positive reviews from peers and superiors during her five years as associate director and then director of Student Judicial Affairs, UT officials fired Wright. According to an August 2013 report from the Knoxville News Sentinel, Wright claimed she was pressured and harassed by UT administrators before being fired for failing to cooperate with the investigation.

The Daily Beacon contacted Wright this week for a statement, but she did

not return phone calls, responding instead through her attorneys Stanley and Kurtz of Knoxville. Her attorneys released a statement stating Wright is relieved that the investigation has concluded.

“Ms. Wright has consistently maintained that she never engaged in any type of inappropriate conduct with or against students,” according to the statement. “Ms. Wright’s performance evaluations reflect that she always acted with the utmost propriety and professionalism, even when faced with difficult decisions and arduous conflict within the University.”

The university’s Office of Communications and Marketing released a statement last week reporting that the investigation conducted by an external source has concluded that Wright did not violate any university policies, and that a national search for a new director has begun. ”The entire judicial process has been reviewed by an external team,” Simsen said, adding that “judicial procedures are being changed based on the external review of the office.”

Simsen said an internal program review of Student Judicial Affairs has also been completed. Similar program reviews in academic departments and student service units are standard procedure in academia, Simsen said. The reviews bring forth best practices and recommendations for improvements. Several recommendations were identified within Student Judicial Affairs and those changes are being implemented now and over the next year, she said.

When asked if the university was concerned about a potential lawsuit from Wright, since she was fired from the university before the investigation revealed the allegations against her were false, Simsen said the university had no comment.

Results of the external review called on university officials to develop a policy prohibiting romantic relationships between University students and employees, and to develop a policy prohibiting relationships between students and University employees who have responsibilities related to student disciplinary actions and compliance matters.

It was also recommended that all employees of the Athletics Department and the Division of Student Life acknowledge in writing that engaging in a prohibited relationship will be grounds for disciplinary action, including termination of employment.

In addition, the report recommended specific steps the Chancellor should take regarding issues of compliance.

It calls for Athletic Department employees to be better informed about the consequences of threats against employees.

It also calls for greater cooperation in instances of student disciplinary actions.

Any effort to obstruct an investigation or discipline of students would be a violation of the University’s Code of Conduct and grounds for disciplinary action, including termination.

The final report was delivered to Chancellor Jimmy Cheek on June 4.

According to the university’s press release Cheek takes the recommendations in the report seriously, and will review them and take appropriate action in a timely manner.

Managing Editor PINEHURST, N.C.– Tennessee golfer Oliver Goss’ performance at the U.S. Open was a tale of two days.

Goss shot a 1-over par 71 in his first round in the U.S. Open on Friday at legendary Pinehurst No. 2 course.

Goss’ first round left him only six shots behind first round leader and eventual U.S. Open champion, Martin Kaymer.

However, on Friday the 20-year-old sophomore failed to make the cut after shooting 13 over par, an 83, in his second round.

Goss’ two rounds together equaled 154, 14-over par overall, tying him for 148th out of 156 players.

Goss was hoping to repeat his low-amateur performance at the Masters and to become the first player since Matt Kuchar in 1998 to finish as the low amateur in both the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.

On Thursday morning when

Goss teed off, course conditions were softer due to watering and overcast skies. This created perfect conditions for lower scoring golf.

Goss took advantage of those conditions and birdied the fourth and 10th holes.

However, Goss bogeyed the ninth and double bogeyed the 11th.

He played the last seven holes at even par to give him his one over par round.

Goss’ most impressive shot was on the par-3 sixth. Goss hit the ball into the bunker on the left side of the green. His second shot barely made it out of the bunker and settled on the fringe of the putting green.

The hole location was in the center left of the green.

Goss’ chip shot rolled into the hole, saving par and garnering a loud applause from the mid-morning crowd.

The Australian natives second round was a stark contrast from his first round.

In the first round he hit 13 out of 18 greens in regulation (GIR).

In Goss’ second round, he only hit seven GIR. He missed the greens often on his

approach shots and found himself shooting out of quite a few bunkers.

Goss triple bogeyed the 10th, 14th and 15th, and bogeyed the 11th, 16th and 18th.

He settled himself on his second nine holes of his second round shooting one over par on the front nine.

Going Pro On Tuesday, Goss announced he will forgo his two remaining years of college eligibility and turn professional.

The Perth, Australia native is the Tennessee all-time leader in career stroke average, and won the Silver Cup as the low amateur at the 2014 Masters.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Tennessee,” Goss said according to a university press release.

“The support I received from Vol Nation was unbelievable.

“I feel this is the perfect time in my career to turn professional. I’m extremely excited and can’t wait for the opportunity to compete on the biggest stage. I want to thank my teammates and coaches for everything they did for me during my two years in Knoxville.”

Oliver Goss turns pro despite U.S. Open loss

Oliver Goss competes at the NCAA Regionals on May 17 in Eugene, Ore. After failing to make the cut at the 2014 U.S. Open, Goss announced on June 17 he would forgo his two years remaining years of college eligibility and turn professional.

2014 U.S. Open was his last competition as an amateur.

Tennessee golf head coach Jim Kelson, said Goss was a outstanding representative of UT and the men’s golf program.

“He did a tremendous amount to elevate the stature of our program,” Keyton said. “He

Goss will make his pro debut this week at the PGA Tour Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut.

CAMPUS NEWS TVA aims to slice carbon emissions in half by 2020 ewood13@utk.edu

McCord Pagan Copy Editor

On June 2, the Environmental Protection Agency unveiled a new rule –to be implemented next year – that will limit the amount of carbon emissions each state can produce.

However, the affect on Tennessee may be mild.

The rule calls for utilities in Tennessee to make a 39 percent reduction in carbon emissions from 2012 levels.

The rule, if implemented, will be the first ever limits on carbon pollution by the regulatory agency.

The new rule calls for a national 30 percent reduction in carbon emissions from 2005 levels by 2030, a limit the Tennessee Valley Authority – the primary source of electricity for the state and parts of several others – has already met and is on track to surpass.

The Tennessee Valley Authority’s carbon emissions for 2013 were 30 percent below 2005 levels, a figure it is planning to improve to 40 percent in six years.

“By 2020, TVA’s carbon emissions will be about one-half of what they were at their peak in 1995,” according to a statement released the day the new rule was announced.

While the EPA will require states to submit an action plan, the rule targets emissions from power plants, which in Tennessee are largely owned by Tennessee Valley Authority.

While the rule provides wide flexibility in how each state can meet the new standards, it likely will affect coal plants, one of the largest contributors to climate change causing greenhouse gases.

Following a 2011 agreement with regulators and environmental groups, Tennessee Valley Authority has quickly moved away from coal, reducing its coal usage by 9 percent in just two years.

“We are working to complete and even exceed that agreement now. So far we have committed to retire about half of our coal units,” said Duncan Mansfield of Tennessee Valley Authority Public Relations and Corporate Information.

“TVA will close three of its 11 coal plants by 2018 and is evaluating others.”

The 81-year-old federal corporation has increased

its reliance on natural gas, dams and nuclear power, which includes plans to bring the Watts Bar Unit 2 Nuclear Reactor online in 2015, the first new commercial reactor in the U.S. since 1996.

Angela Garrone, a Southeast Energy Research Attorney for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, said last week that while the new rules will prevent Tennessee Valley Authority from back-pedaling on its previous agreements, she does not expect many difficulties for the corporation.

“TVA has been smart about this,” she said. “It has already put the wheels in motion to be less carbon intensive knowing that at some point carbon was going to be regulated.

“Any utility should have known this was going to happen.”

Natural gas is a cleaner burning fossil fuel that emits roughly half as much carbon as coal, Garrone

said, and it is considered an acceptable intermediary resource between coal and renewable energy.

Mansfield also said Tennessee Valley Authority CEO Bill Johnson wants to move his company toward a more diversified energy portfolio.

Mansfield said a shift in focus could result in 40 percent of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s power coming from nuclear reactors, up from the current 36 percent. Coal, natural gas and other renewable energy will be roughly equal in making up the remaining 60 percent.

The Tennessee utility is not alone in moving away from coal. Last September, the UT steam plant on Lake Loudon Boulevard finalized plans to convert the facility from coal to natural gas. Doing so will reduce emissions by nearly two-thirds, in addition to making the plant more efficient. The project is scheduled for completion in spring 2015.

McClung Museum opens exhibit of Knoxville art Lauren Robinson Contributor

Learning about history through art holds new opportunity at the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture.

The museum has unveiled a new special exhibit titled The Collector’s Eye: American and European Art. Through August 24, visitors will have the opportunity to explore an original grouping of artwork that forms the backbone of McClung’s Western art collection.

Rather than focusing on a particular artist, artistic style or art form, Catherine Shteynberg, curator and Head of Web and Media for McClung Museum, designed the exhibit to showcase a wide variety of 19th and 20th century art.

As a result, the new collection beautifully reflects two centuries worth of societal changes and the steady progression of collectors’ tastes over time.

“History always shapes culture and art and that’s why it’s interesting,” Steynberg said. “Art is a

visual representation of the challenges, debates and issues that interest a culture during a particular time period. So we can learn a lot about the past by looking at the art they were making.”

“A museum is a place to get energized to make your own art or your own work, a chance to learn about a new time period or subject, and a place to relax and recharge.”

From Whistler etchings to textile works, paintings to sculptures, commission portraits to abstracts, The Collector’s Eye incorporates a wide array of artists, forms and styles.

Included are original works by such well-known artists as James Whistler and Henri Matisse as well as east Tennessee’s own Lloyd Branson, William Edmondson and Charles Krutch.

Aside from the expected gallery tours and family fun days, exhibit-related programming includes a short-film series titled “Talking Pictures” created by Christina Selk, McClung’s director of external relations.

“We hope this exhibit will be inspirational to students,” Selk

said. “I’m thrilled that it gives McClung the opportunity not only to utilize our impressive permanent collections, but also offer exciting new programs such as lunchtime ‘Talking Pictures.’”

An exhibit-related lecture titled “Grand Ambitions: Branson, Krutch and Early 20th-Century Knoxville Painters” will be presented June 26 at 6 p.m. in the McClung Auditorium by UT alum and Knoxville Museum of Art Curator Stephen Wicks.

“I want to give people an understanding of the fact that in the early part of the 20th century Knoxville really did have a thriving art scene. Ambitious artists and enthusiastic patrons set the bar very high, and McClung Museum’s rich collection reflects the efforts of those individuals,” Selk said.

Visitors to the exhibition can Tweet or Instagram photos of their favorite works in the show, mentioning @mcclungmuseum for a chance to win prizes.

ARTS & CULTURE Carry the ‘Roo with you Hanna Lustig Editor-in-Chief Last weekend I saw a man trip over a backpack, turn around and apologize to it. I saw women wearing paint instead of shirts.

I saw people pee on the ground unabashedly and dance with total abandon. I laughed as kids stood on the side of the road holding a sign that said “Smile if you masturbate.” I felt the pressure of a thousand fellow Roovians pushing to get closer to Frank Ocean on stage, literally sacrificing any form of personal space to have that coveted front row concert experience.

Shame doesn’t exist at Bonnaroo. Call it hedonism, call it debauchery. I call it authenticity. When you enter the confines of that Manchester Farm, you are suddenly and shockingly a member of a new community. A

new world, even. Perhaps a better world.

There, art is a virtue, not vandalism. The long, continuous wall of Centeroo is, in fact, designated the Grafitti Wall to invite people to write, paint, and draw. Music and crafts are abundant.

Rules are employed to keep people safe, not punish them for their choices. The first aid tents offer total medical amnesty to those who might otherwise be too fearful to seek help, or bring a friend in need.

Environmentalism is made convenient, easy– even fun.

“Trash talkers” stand by every receptacle to help people sort waste into the compost, landfill, or recycle bins. The Clean Vibes Trading Post offers rewards in exchange for bags of litter that might otherwise lay strewn across the farm. The Learning Garden offers free classes on how to grow a sustainable home garden. All biodegradable waste is diverted, vehicles run on green gas, and tickets are paperless. Solar power, alternative building materials, and compostable cups are the norm.

Greed is largely absent.

Strangers in Tent City offer

each other leftover hotdogs and spare pairs of socks and extra sunscreen, just to be neighborly.

Superjam concerts allow bands to collaborate and play together after their solo concerts during the day.

And every year, Bonnaroo allows hundreds of volunteers to attend for free in exchange for help running the festival.

What’s special about Bonnaroo is that the festival cares about the Roovians, and the Roovians care about their festival. There is a mutual love and respect between the fans, the producers, the artists, and the community involved that softens my inner cynic. We all want to be healthy and happy and loved. We want peace and freedom and principled leaders.

We want to live well, and live well with others beside us. We all want to sway to great music and partake in the Splasheroo water slide without fear of judgment.

So hold onto that haggard, dirty Bonnaroo wristband if you have one. This festival more than a concert series or an opportunity to get wasted four nights in a row.

It’s a little taste of utopia. A little glimpse of the society we could be, all year long.

What you missed at Bonnaroo 2014 Hanna Lustig

Editor-in-Chief

Katrina Roberts Staff Writer

Just concluding its 13th year, Bonnaroo draws music seekers from across the globe to a 700acre farm for four consecutive days of concerts, comedy, art, food and community. Here are just a few highlights from the Beacon’s time on the Farm: The Silent Disco Welcome to the quietest club you’ve ever been to. Here, dancers slip on headphones and collectively rock out to the same music, as if listening to a communal iPod. Outwardly, the disco is a rave with no music. But, once inside, the scene transforms: beats are dropping, bodies are swaying and

hands are up – from midday to past midnight.

St. Paul and The Broken Bones In 2010, Paul Janeway worked as a security guard at Bonnaroo just to get into the festival for free.

There, he suffered heat stroke and passed out, only to be peed on thereafter (note: this is atypical Roovian behavior). But, on Friday afternoon, Paul’s story came full circle as he laid siege to The Other Tent as the lead singer of St. Paul and The Broken Bones.

Kanye West Two hours after Vampire Weekend’s final song, Kanye West took the stage–something he hasn’t done at this festival since 2008.

Kanye West is the prodigal son of Bonnaroo, whose return

to the What Stage represented a response to ongoing tension after his dramatically delayed late-night concert six years ago (West’s set began two hours late and purportedly lacked many of the lighting elements he had requested to incorporate, angering all parties involved).

For this year’s show, West and Bonnaroo professionals collaborated for more than a year to ensure a better–and more timely–outcome.The resulting 2014 concert was problematic.

As he stood alone in front of a massive, flashing red backdrop, the first beat dropped a little too quietly for those standing in the back. After about 10 minutes, the volume increased. Yet, the songs still fell flat in comparison to their recorded counterparts.

What I’ve learned from the sum of five fathers This is a Column by

Katrina Roberts Father’s Day was Sunday, and as the advertisements preach, it’s a day to appreciate the men in our lives. I still have several (late) cards to send, but the postage will be worth every cent.

I don’t know my biological father, but I never once felt throughout my childhood that I was lacking a male presence. I have a grandfather, three uncles and a step-father of six years who, collectively, became my father figure.

The following is an ode to these men, as well as a note about the things I’ve learned from them.

From my grandfather, I learned to work hard and love hard.

For most of my childhood, he rose with the sun every day and went to work. I never heard a complaint from him, just a hello when he returned every evening, a question about my day and a moderate snore as he fell asleep in his recliner several minutes later. (I always got to wake him up for dinner and I usually did so by tickling his feet. Then, I got a grumble and a laugh.)

He repeated this process every day, except on Thursdays. Those days were reserved for spending the entire day with my grandmother, his wife of more than 40 years. They were best friends and even during lemon-filled moments, he loved her enough to make lemonade.

Now he doesn’t rise quite so early– though still earlier than me– and Thursdays are still his days off. He hasn’t spent them with my grandmother since 2008, but his love for family and friends remains constant.

From my oldest uncle, I learned to appreciate silliness.

When I was approximately 10, I was standing by the pool at his house. Until, suddenly, I was in the water looking up at his sly grin. I am only one of the many family members who have suffered this fate, and I’m sure the list of victims will continue to grow. When he strikes, your only options are to dry off and vow revenge via squirt gun, or to sit and pout. I chose the former.

The next uncle of the three taught me the value of leaving my comfort zone every now and then.

On a recent family trip, we talked about traveling and he asked what I was waiting for. I offered a reason, but in true Uncle No. 2 form, my bluff was called. Being timid is convenient, he told me, but in order to really experience things, I need to be bold.

From my youngest uncle, I learned the importance of determination. Setting a goal and sticking to it is difficult, but in the end it’s worth every hour spent and every drop of sweat. I learned this while doing a puzzle at his house one day. I was getting flustered, but he encouraged me to finish. Several hours later, I had a cpmplete picture of a red house. Even if you get off track, the best thing you can do is try again.

The most recent addition to the men in my life is my step-father. From him, I learned how to argue effectively, to support my stance and prove my beliefs. He pushed me to think through my ideas and not accept anything at face value.

But the biggest thing he did for me was marry my mother. He and I disagree sometimes (or a lot of the time), but he makes her smile. Also, the barbecue he cooks is delicious.

My father has been many men, rather than just one. But I am not lacking. I’m lucky to have so many positive male presences in my life. And to them, thank you for everything you do. You are all gentlemen and scholars.

In the defense of skateboarding Untitled by

Grayson Hawkins

It was a Thursday afternoon during my regular commute to Market Square.

I must’ve been blazing four or five miles per hour when two KPD officers on bikes called me over; I dismounted my skateboard and walked to greet the officers.

Before this particular encounter, I had never fully grasped the definition of the word ‘dumbfounded.’ But when I was told that I “cannot skateboard in downtown Knoxville,” I found myself unable to grasp the logic behind such a law. My questions to the officers were met with intimidating responses (I doubt they fully understand why they were enforcing the law, either), and after realizing that a peaceful, reasonable conversation with these two KPD officers would be impossible, I made my way home on foot.

Skateboarding is a viable form of transportation for many who cannot

However, as soccer is one of the most widespread and followed sports with respect to international popularity, it does not receive nearly as much attention as many other sports in our country. Why?

nationalistic country. For this reason, many Americans are hesitant to accept change in their culture, especially in sports.

However, soccer isn’t exactly a new sport. In fact, it has been around longer than many others. Its global following should indicate a large number of fans in America. While its had a moderate following for many years, interest seems to be on the rise, made obvious by televised club soccer games on NBC this year and the yells of frantic World Cup excitement. American patriotism was almost tangible Monday night over our win against Ghana. The tournament offers a chance to compete against other countries, a rare opportunity.

This raises an important question: shouldn’t soccer should be a larger part

of American culture? Where some may prefer the tradition of popular American sports, soccer provides an opportunity for a new, exciting competition between regions of our country and regions of the world.

So don’t be so quick to reject soccer.

Announcers from Monday’s game noted the overwhelming crowd of American supporters as “the largest of any visiting team.” Hearing that, I could only be proud of our country. This pride was not because of our great performance on the field, but the astounding unity of our fans.

(although the area surrounding Market Square has no railing on which to even attempt stunts)-- but I don’t. I am an adult. When carrying a hammer around downtown Knoxville, I resist the urge to smash windows and bang holes in sidewalks. Likewise, I can also resist the urge to cause damage with my board. If skateboards are illegal due to potential property damage, everything short of Styrofoam and bubble wrap should also be outlawed.

I hate to be cliché. I really do. But our forefathers did not fight, struggle, and die so that a small portion of Americans could decide which of our freedoms they want to allow us and which to take away.

Here, that small portion of Americans consists of the Knoxville City Council and downtown Knoxville’s upper class in general (those who pressure their city councilmen to turn discrimination into city law). If one freedom can be made into a crime without any valid reasoning, any of our freedoms can be taken away in the exact same fashion.

afford the (impossibly) high cost of owning a vehicle in urban Knoxville. It’s the same story with the countless people who ride bikes, scooters, mopeds, segways, rollerblades and even unicycles while downtown. So why discriminate against a wheeled piece of wood. Who am I hurting?

References to ‘public safety’ can easily be dismissed-- simply ask the UT Student Health Center or UT Medical Center about the biggest cause of student injury: biking accidents. If this law was created for safety reasons, why is the leading cause of injury not also illegal?

I have heard many reasons for the ban on skateboards, mainly discussion about the “thug” stigma associated with boarding and the “property damage” that skateboards could cause to rails.

Please allow me to dismiss these poor arguments.

There are stigmas and stereotypes that accompany everything from sexual orientation to tattoos and piercings.

It’s hard to believe that even today, city laws exist based solely on prejudice. Skateboards do not cause property damage; people do. I can choose to grind against all manner of railing

Contributor The Knoxville Children’s Theatre, a wellestablished youth acting company, features both full productions and acting skills classes and offers an affordable escape from the sun for children and families.

Dennis Perkins, creative director for KCT, said the theater remains one of the most highly prolific in the area because they produce and cast entirely in-house. “We don’t bring in any tours or anything like that,� Perkins said. “I think that effort alone is probably worth seeing.�

Perkins said parents who are interested in exposing their children to the arts would do well to bring them to the theater. “(If) you want to interest your children in the arts, then take them to the arts,� he said. “I think coming to see theater is a great way

to do it, especially if they see children around their age doing things at this level.�

Knoxville Children’s Theatre is currently presenting a stage adaptation of Disney’s “Aladdin,� complete with an energetic and engaging cast and a script full of laughs.

Alcoa Middle School student Ethan Turbyfill plays the title role, and said the experience is rewarding, yet challenging, for the youth involved in the production. “It’s a whole different experience because there are so many new people you meet,�

Turbyfill said. “You just get to work with so many great people. It’s an amazing experience, overall. I like stepping up to play a character that other people have done, and putting myself into it.�

While KCT’s adaptation of “Aladdin� will run through June 22, the company is already beginning rehearsal for the next production, “Thumbalina,� set to open July 11.

Though not all KCT cast members have their sights set on a Broadway or Hollywood

career, the experience provides a number of opportunities for participants to grow. “They have a common interest,� Perkins said. “You get them together and they form lasting friendships that really last a long time. There are many things that children get from this, and confidence is one of them.

Also, responsibility. They’re responsible for maintaining their grades. That’s important for us. There’s nothing that you learn here that isn’t beneficial for the average human being.�

Steve Sommers, a KCT parent, agreed. “It gives them a chance to thrive in a setting outside of school,� Sommers said. “We make the effort to get our child here because it gives them the opportunity to work with other kids from around the city with different backgrounds.�

Tickets are available directly before performances at the KCT facility on East Churchwell Avenue and online at www. knoxvillechildrenstheatre.com.

that I love you/There’s all these things that I have to prove to you,� while ghostly voices croon behind him.

This album finds White exploring themes of control. Whether through needing to gain it or to let it go, both the lyrics and melodies intertwine to demonstrate this struggle. The setup of the tracks alone shows this struggle as he jumps between songs reminiscent of traditional Americana blues and country to the highly artistically crafted tracks that require deep interpretation.

However, this stormy sound can be expected just by looking at the album’s title. According to Google Dictionary, a lazaretto is “an isolation hospital for people with infectious diseases, especially leprosy or plague.� White has a talent for finding unusual information that he finds fitting and then

working it into his music where appropriate, and this record’s title is no exception.

With White’s newly discovered dark side comes a revival of his infamous guitar solos. Placed at No. 70 on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 100 Greatest Guitarists,� White reminded listeners why he was placed on the list with the track “High Ball Stepper.� Entirely instrumental, the song shows off White’s experimental take on classic rock guitar playing. For his Bonnaroo set, he extended the song from the four-minute album version to twice that length, giving him the time to solo and rock with his band while fans watched in amazement.

The Record Store Day Ambassador did not shy away from amping up the vinyl version of “Lazaretto.� The 12-inch vinyl includes two hidden tracks that play at different speeds while Side A

plays from the inside out. The ability to choose whether the listener wants to begin “Just One Drink� electronically or acoustically depends on where the needle is placed; locked grooves on each side allow the record to continuously play a melody when the last song on each side ends, and a hologram is etched into Side A. Many of the specialties are rare or never-before-seen techniques White pulled out to demonstrate his passion for vinyl.

White has been a musical legend for years.

From the White Stripes to his collaborations with musicians like Loretta Lynn, Alabama Shakes and Jeff Beck, and now to his solo career, there is little doubt as to why he has risen as a modern rock legend. In the words of White himself from his Bonnaroo set, fans are glad he didn’t have “something better to do.�

BASEBALL

Two Vols sign with MLB teams Staff Reports Two baseball players have agreed to play for the MLB, bringing the total number of former Vols to play professional baseball to 22.

Scott Price and Taylor Smart signed contracts with the San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners respectively this past week.

Both players transferred to UT to play their final two seasons for then-newly hired head coach Dave Serrano, and ended college with strong performances.

In his 90 career games, Price, who played first base and right field in his last year at Tennessee, hit .324 and had a 20-game hit streak going early in the season. He finished

his senior campaign second on the team with 13 doubles and a .448 slugging percentage.

Smart was another strong bat in the Tennessee lineup and had his best season this year with a .292 average and four home runs, double his total from the year before. He has already made his pro debut with the Everett AquaSox of the Northwest League on June 13, scoring the decisive run as a pinch runner in a 4-3 win.

Both Price’s and Smart’s season performances were major factors in the Vols SEC Tournament appearance this year, the first since 2007.

Vols In Summer League Play Jeff Moberg and Christin Stewart are

spending the season in summer collegiate leagues.

Moberg, a rising junior, is batting .435 in his first seven games in the California Collegiate League.

Across the country in the Cape Cod Baseball League, Stewart is playing with six other Vols as he continues to catch eyes with his tremendous pop at the plate. In five games he has already struck two home runs. He was named to the All-SEC team at the end of this past season.

Twenty-two members of the team are playing summer ball, more than half playing in either Cape Cod or the Alaska Baseball League.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Rawane “Pops” Ndiaje out for season Staff Report Donnie Tyndall suffered his first injury setback at Tennessee as backup center Rawane “Pops” Ndiaye tore his anterior cruciate ligament, terminating his playing career with the Volunteers.

Ndiaye was expected to have a much larger role his upcoming senior season, and the team was looking forward to deploying his 6-foot-10, 275pound frame onto the basketball court.

He played in 22 games last season and saw the court in

all three of Tennessee’s NCAA Tournament wins. Out of his 21 total rebounds, 15 came off of the offensive glass.

In the Vols’ narrow eightpoint loss to No.13 Kentucky on Jan. 18, Ndiaje had his allaround best game with two points, three rebounds and a blocked shot.

Ndiaje was the only true center listed on the current roster. New 6-foot-8 newcomers Willie Carmichael and Jabari McGhee will be looked upon to step up and lead the team in the rebounding category next season.

Tyndall will speak to the

media this afternoon for the first time this month and reveal more about the current status of the Tennessee basketball program.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Nationally ranked player joins Lady Vols Staff Reports

The National Freshman of the Year in women’s college basketball Diamond DeShields made it official last Thursday that she will be a Lady Vol in the upcoming season.

DeShields was a standout during her first year on the court with the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. The 6-foot-2 starting guard averaged 18 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game in leading her team to a 27-10 record. Her 648 points on the season were the most ever scored by a player in the Atlantic Coast Conference as a true freshman.

The confirmation of her transfer to Tennessee was announced via Instagram last Thursday night thanking Tennessee fans for showing their love. In her picture she was wearing a Lady Vol uniform with the Thompson-Boling Arena in the background.

Her post read: “Thank you to all the fans who have welcomed me into this family. I know it’s been a long time comin but I’m finally here.

Soooo am I allowed to say “Grind For 9” now???

Lol.” During high school recruitment, she was ranked as the No. 3 recruit in the country and chose UNC over Tennessee, Maryland, Duke and UConn.

Her family has a strong background with Tennessee, as her mother Tina was an AllAmerican for the UT women’s track team in 1991. Her father Delino also has a strong sports resumé as he played for five MLB clubs from 1990 to 2002, most notably with the Montreal Expos. He was known for his speed and stole 463 career bases.

Her brother, Delino DeShields Jr., is ranked currently as the No. 66 best prospect in baseball

by MLB.com and stole 101 bases in 2012. He currently plays for the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks (Astros affiliate).

The Norcross, Georgia, native will have to sit out the 2014-15 season at Tennessee before being eligible to play. She will still have three years left to play and is set to begin classes next month at Tennessee.

DeShields is also good friends with Te’a Cooper, a fellow Georgia native who is also expected to sign with the Lady Vols.
