Music faculty use talent to fund scholarships Kristian Smith StudentLifeEditor UT music faculty members are working together to raise money for student scholarships. On Aug. 28, several faculty members will participate in a Tellico Musicale to benefit the UT School of Music Student scholarship fund. Donna Hundley, communications coordinator for the School of Music, said the student scholarship fund is separate from the university’s scholarships. “(The fund) allows us to have extra scholarships for financial need or students with exceptional talent,” Hundley said. “These students get a lot of scholarship offers, so it allows us to compete for those students.” Hundley said students in the School of Music are considered for scholarships when they audition for the school. Besides the scholarship fund, Hundley said the School of Music also has designated scholarships for piano and voice students funded by private donors. She said there are also scholarships for students already accepted into the school. The upcoming concert will feature several musical performances by UT faculty. David Brunell, professor of piano, and Greg Tardy, the new
assistant professor in jazz saxophone, are two of the featured performers. Mark Boling, area coordinator for jazz studies in the UT School of Music, said he is looking forward to introducing Tardy at this performance. “Thisisthefirstofficialperformance with (Tardy), and he is very excited about being here in Knoxville and teaching at UT,” Boling said. Tardy will be accompanied by School of Music professors Donald Brown, Rusty Holloway and Keith Brown. Before coming to UT, Tardy was a jazz musician in New Yor--k for more than 20 years. Boling said Tardy has recorded with some of the top names in jazz and will play with the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra after the fundraising concert. Bolingsaidthejazzareahasparticipated in fundraising events for the School of Music for many years and that providing scholarship money is very important to the school. “Wearetryingtoattractthebest students,” he said. “And we lose a lot of talented students, because we don’t have the scholarship money to give to them.” Boling said that, while it has been somewhat difficult to raise scholarship money in the past, School of Music director Roger
Stephens has helped raise awareness about the need for scholarships. “(Stephens) has brought in the idea of musicales to bring in people who are interested in music,” Boling said. “A lot of these people didn’t know what we had been up to (before these concerts), but they are always happy to help.” Other performances include the Brasswind Quintet, consisting of music faculty members Cathy Leach, T.J. Perry, Calvin Smith, Daniel Cloutier and Sande MacMorran, and a vocal performance by Roger Stephens and his wife, Marjorie. Prior to the faculty performance,astudentjazzcombowill provide additional entertainment. Hundley said this concert is the first of three fundraising endeavors by the School of Music this year. The school will host a holiday musicale in December, as well as a spring fundraiser with a dinner and an auction. The concert will be held at the Tellico Village Yacht Club from 4 to 6 p.m. on Aug. 28. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served, and a $60 donation per person is requested by Monday. Call 865-974-8935 for payment information.

“Active travel” leads to healthy lifestyle Staff Reports
Wade Rackley • The Daily Beacon
The intersection of Andy Holt Avenue and Phillip Fulmer Way is packed with foot and vehicle traffic between classes. Because of ongoing construction, the pedestrian bridge near the UC provides a safer, less congested route for many students heading to and from classes on the Hill.
A recent study authored by UT professor David Bassett Jr. has concluded that a direct link exists between walking and cycling and the health of a community. Bassett, a professor in kinesiology, recreation and sport studies, along with three other researchers, conducted research that studied the correlation between communities in which citizens walk and cycle and those in which citizens more often choose to drive or rely on automobile transportation. “Active travel,” defined as bicycling or walking, as opposed to driving, was the main focus of comparison material that was studied to show a correlation of a city’s physical activity level and rates of obesity and diabetes. Data collected by the researchers was from many different levels, including cityand state-level statistics in the United States, as well as information from 15 different countries. Bassett’s study concluded that more than half of the differences in obesity rates around the world could be directly related to the amount of “active travel” partaken by those in the community. In the U.S., lower obesity rates between cities and states were linked to walking and cycling in approximately 30 percent of the cases. According to Bassett, the study confirms the idea that more active communities are healthier. The study showed the positive effects of active transport and highlighted the need for U.S. cities and states to increase alternate travel options as a means of encouraging a healthier citizenry. Options for increasing alternate travel included adding bike paths and lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks and intersection changes that would offer greater accessibility to pedestrians, as well as cyclists. Apart from solely making infrastructure changes, the study also suggested limiting car usage in certain areas, increasing fees for parking and instituting car-free zones. Citizens’ dependency on automobiles had direct correlations to a country’s rate of obesity. The United States, which relies on automobiles as its main mode of transportation, compared poorly to more active European countries. Beyond a comparison to other countries, the research showed clear correlations between active transport and obesity rates in the U.S. When examining data on the state level, researchers found that a higher percentage of residents who participated in walking and cycling contributed to a higher percent of adults who reached daily recommended levels of physical activity. The study also examined 47 of the largest cities within the U.S. and concluded that citizens who obtained recommended levels of exercise also exhibited lower rates of obesity and diabetes. According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million adults suffer from obesity, a contributing factor to many ailments including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and some cancers. Over the past 30 years, obesity rates have risen dramatically and the study highlights the health benefits that increased walking and cycling can have on a community.

If you’re looking for books in Hodges, it might seem messy. On August 17, the library began carpeting the stacks. The process will continue for two months, and while sections are closed off, students can access books by requesting them through the library website.
This Day
in History On this day in 1911, a dispatcher in the New York Times office sends the first telegram around the world via commercial service. Exactly 66 years later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sends a different kind of message--a phonograph record containing information about Earth for extraterrestrial beings--shooting into space aboard the unmanned spacecraft Voyager II. The Times decided to send its 1911 telegram in order to determine how fast a commercial message could be sent around the world by telegraph cable. The message, reading simply "This message sent around the world," left the dispatch room on the 17th floor of the Times building in New York at 7 p.m. on Aug. 20. After it traveled more than 28,000 miles, being relayed by 16 different operators, through San Francisco, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Saigon, Singapore, Bombay, Malta, Lisbon and the Azores-among other locations--the reply was received by the same operator 16.5 minutes later. It was the fastest time achieved by a commercial cablegram since the opening of the Pacific cable in 1900 by the Commercial Cable Company. On Aug. 20, 1977, a NASA rocket launched Voyager II, an unmanned 1,820-pound spacecraft, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the first of two such crafts to be launched that year on a "Grand Tour" of the outer planets, organized to coincide with a rare alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Aboard Voyager II was a 12-inch
copper phonograph record called "Sounds of Earth." Intended as a kind of introductory time capsule, the record included greetings in 60 languages and scientific information about Earth and the human race, along with classical, jazz and rock 'n' roll music, nature sounds like thunder and surf, and recorded messages from President Jimmy Carter and other world leaders. The brainchild of astronomer Carl Sagan, the record was sent with Voyager II and its twin craft, Voyager I--launched just two weeks later--in the faint hope that it might one day be discovered by extraterrestrial creatures. The record was sealed in an aluminum jacket that would keep it intact for 1 billion years, along with instructions on how to play the record, with a cartridge and needle provided. More importantly, the two Voyager crafts were designed to explore the outer solar system and send information and photographs of the distant planets to Earth. Over the next 12 years, the mission proved a smashing success. After both crafts flew by Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager I went flying off towards the solar system's edge while Voyager II visited Uranus, Neptune and finally Pluto in 1990 before sailing off to join its twin in the outer solar system. Thanks to the Voyager program, NASA scientists gained a wealth of information about the outer planets, including close-up photographs of Saturn's seven rings; evidence of active geysers and volcanoes exploding on some of the four planets' 22 moons; winds of more than 1,500 mph on Neptune; and measurements of the magnetic fields on Uranus and Neptune. The two crafts are expected to continue sending data until 2020, or until their plutonium-based power sources run out. After that, they will continue to sail on through the galaxy for millions of years to come, barring some unexpected collision. -- This Day in History is courtesy of History.com.

Hasidic hip-hop artist fuses rock, reggae Jake Lane Arts & Entertainment Editor The University of Tennessee offers many opportunities for students to attain some cultural enlightenment through frequent performances and exhibitions by notable artists hailing from the far reaches of the globe. But even when dealing with a “cultural attraction,” that culture in name doesn’t necessarily have to be so foreign. Matthew “Matisyahu” Miller is a Pennsylvania-born Hasidic
Jewish man whose combination of rock and reggae beats and soulful hip-hop delivery have busted college radio charts and opened hearts and minds through a spiritually-powered message. “(Cultural Attractions Committee) is committed to bringing artists with unique cultural backgrounds in order to refresh the perspective of UT students through our programming,” said Ashleigh Moyers, an advisor with the CAC on campus. “Matisyahu is particularly important to us in that he presents not only a very appealing and popular sound, but also that his heritage and faith play such a dramatic role in his

life. We hope that this high-profile artist will help draw attention to the varying cultures and religions at play on our very own campus.” Friday night, students will have the opportunity to hear Miller and special guest Nathan Maxwell of Flogging Molly. But Miller’s success clearly has not gone to his head. “The process for bringing any act to campus is a long and involved one,” Moyers said. “ We have had Matisyahu on our minds for some time now and were lucky enough to catch one of his available dates. His entire management team was friendly and flexible to work with. Though the contracting process is complicated, CAC and Hillel are both ecstatic that the commitment came through this summer.” After the release of his first album, “Shake Off the Dust ... Arise,” in 2004, Matisyahu rapidly gained larger audiences thanks to sets at Bonnaroo and other festivals, and he released two full-length albums, “Youth” in 2006 and “Light” in 2009, the former of which charted at No. 4 on the U.S. charts. Local fans are already buzzing about the show. “I listened to rap and heard how they spoke about women and violence and was really turned off after a while,” said Mike Farrar of Knoxville. “But I heard Matisyahu and his message and thought, ‘This is the most amazing music I’ve ever heard.’” “We certainly hope that the venue and timing of the event will bring a large crowd,” Moyers said. “Being that the event is free and open to the UT community and that it is located in the Humanities Amphitheatre, a fairly central location, we hope that Matisyahu will provide people of all ages, grades, disciplines and persuasions to come together for a night of cultural enrichment and some serious fun.” Matisyahu will perform in the Humanities Amphitheatre Friday night at 8 p.m. with Nathan Maxwell. Admission is free to all UT students.

OPINIONS
The Hot Spot Brandi Panter Managing Editor
Sex something to be discussed, not avoided Sex. For some, the word conjures up images of hot, steamy trysts in a candle-lit room, with rose petals scattered everywhere to create the perfect romantic moment. For others, it is the curious unknown and seemingly forbidden. For many people in college, sex means what they did last night when they were drunk or something they are going to have to apologize for at a later date. Either way, sex means something significant, something taboo and something unspoken. And by unspoken, I definitely mean you tell all of your friends about it, but you never really talk about what happened. Traditionally, UT has ranked very low in reviews when it comes to student happiness, student health and informed students. This is incredibly disheartening, especially when students have access to a wonderful student health facility on campus. Why sex? Sex is, as I said before, often unspoken and taboo. If there isn’t some sort of open-ended, objective, honest outlet that provides facts, we are kind of doing the student body a disservice. It is our responsibility to report news and facts to an audience that wants to learn. Sex, for the majority of my life, was dangled over my head in church and school (Bush-administration Abstinence Only classes represent!) as something that, no matter what, I should definitely not be doing. More often than not, sex was a scare tactic: Have it, and you will get an STD or get pregnant. Luckily, my parents were always normal and reasonable people, so it was never an issue of confusion as much as it was doubt and guilt. When I was 18 and left home for the bright lights and disgusting smog of UT, sex suddenly took on a whole new meaning. It was much more casual, less rigid, yet still remained unspoken. Over the course of the past two years, as I’ve matured myself, I’ve listened to stories of date rape, regretted hookups, STDs, surprise pregnancies, sexual dysfunction— all from friends of mine who I assumed were informed and responsible. So, I guess what I am saying is, I am breaking the silence. Heck, I’m breaking the silence with a metaphorical megaphone and an air horn. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SEX! I no longer want to treat this subject with the same kid gloves and polite dismissal that I have in the past. However, I do not have a Ph.D. in human anatomy and physiology, nor am I a medical doctor, so I am not exactly authorized to dispense factual sexual advice. I am, for the sake of this column, remaining completely objective and simply reporting the facts as they are presented to me. I’m fortunate, though, to have a great team of people from the Student Health Center, including Rosa Thomas, wellness director, and Pam Hux, nurse practitioner, who know a heck of a lot more than I. I couldn’t be more excited to have their help as we work to bring a smart, responsible, honest outlet for students. We plan on including informative, thoughtful content revolving around sexual health, sexual pleasure, sexual attraction, oral sex and the like. Since this is a column for everyone, we will be including sexual advice in that same respect: equal consideration to homosexual and heterosexual sexuality will be given. Like I said, I’m remaining objective. I understand, naturally, that this column is not going to go over well with everyone. But my goal is to simply provide an outlet of information. If you somehow find fault with that, understand that oftentimes you are the problem rather than the solution. All I ask is to please have an open mind. This column will kick off next week with a discussion on oral sex. I look forward to writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it. — Brandi Panter is a junior in philosophy and history.

Best meal opens up new world of food On the R o ad . . . A n d t h e Ta b l e by
Jonathan Grayson
To know the details of one’s greatest meal is to know the simplest form of happiness and submission in that person’s life. As an introduction to myself as a writer, I see it fitting to share the details of my finest moment at the dining table rather than to explain how qualified I am to write about food and travel. I will never claim to be an expert on food. Having tried my hand at cooking several times, I have found that I am much better suited to eat than cook. I prefer to think of myself with food in the same way I think of my older brother with music. He listens to a LOT of music. And on the rare occasion that he suggests I listen to a new album, you best believe I am going to listen to that album. He rarely gives poor advice on music. So to continue the music analogy, to say that I like food would be equivalent to saying “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” is a decent album. It is a gross understatement. I love food. I try not to force foods or places on people. I want them to discover these things for themselves. But if I find somewhere truly special or a dish that is absolutely worth trying, I am going to talk about it. To pinpoint a time in my life when I was not thinking or talking about food would be nearly impossible. Rather, I can more accurately pinpoint the time in my life when I realized how great food could be: The Best Meal of My Life. Like so many other “Southern Breads”, I was brought up on the traditional staples of homecooked foods. Meatloaf, fried chicken, broccoli casserole and fried okra were common fixtures in my family’s kitchen. I have learned to accept that no food will taste better than the foods one grows up eating. It is a bar that is set at a young age and most likely remains there for the rest of one’s life. The Southern staples I grew up eating were great foods. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I would much rather eat a juicy slice of meatloaf than a $30 entrée at a white-tablecloth restaurant.
But I know what I am getting when I sit down to eat meatloaf because I have eaten it dozens of times in my life. Essentially, the element of surprise is lacking. What The Best Meal of My Life did was open my eyes to more than the flavors I was already familiar with. It brought me out of my comfort zone and made me realize that trying new foods may be risky but is almost always rewarding. I ate The Best Meal of My Life at a small Italian restaurant near the DePaul campus in downtown Chicago. Merlo on Maple was its name. The inside of the restaurant was nice enough to make the meal feel special but not so nice that I felt uncomfortable. The menu was unfamiliar, almost threatening territory. Having never eaten a single dish on the menu, I took a blind leap of faith and ordered a hand-made taglioline pasta topped with veal and Prosciutto di Parma ragout, a hard-boiled quail egg and a sprinkle of white truffle oil. I had no idea what to expect. The dish was out of this world. I vividly remember the way I felt when the plate was set in front of me, inhaling the intense smell of the truffle oil. It was pure bliss. In the few brief seconds it took to eat my first ridiculously decadent bite, everything I had ever known about food had been changed. I experienced an epicurean epiphany. No longer did filet mignon stand atop my pinnacle of fine dining. I quickly realized that food could be better than an undercooked Ruth’s Chris ten ouncer. It could, in fact, be life-changing. Since that meal in Chicago, I have made it my mission to eat anything, anywhere. By submitting myself to food and the people who prepare it, I have encountered and interacted with some of the most genuinely passionate people this region of the country has to offer. I believe that to enjoy a good meal is to enjoy life, and it is easy to learn a lot about a person by paying attention to what they eat and how they eat it. I certainly don’t think anyone was watching me as I savored every small bite of that taglioline pasta. But if they had been, they would have seen a perfectly content individual — someone who, for the first time in his life, allowed himself to succumb to the power of food. And what a joyful thing that is. — Jonathan Grayson is a senior in advertising. He can be reached at jgrayso3@utk.edu.

In lieu of a “Welcome” or a “Welcome Back” to you all, I would like to talk about initiation rites. Most of you have probably heard hazing horror stories, and while those are certainly examples, I’m not sure that they represent the experience very well. Initiation is indicative of a passage into new territory, a growth and an acceptance. If you graduated from high school before coming to the university, you took part in a rite of passage, an initiation into the adult world. But what does it really mean to be a part of these rites? Ideally, they mark a transition and a loss of one paradigm to gain another. All around the world, young people take part in initiation ceremonies designed to test their willpower, to mark maturity and to prove their mettle. Mutilation and scarification, fasting and having visions, feasting and singing: all of these are examples of pan-global tests. You all know about tests. There are tests in the middle of courses, there are tests to pass those same courses, and there are tests to let us into and out of college. You must take tests before you are allowed to drive, before you can hold down a job and before you can steer a rocket. As a society, we’re very much interested in testing individuals before they become a fullfledged member of x-group. Why are we so obsessed with this qualification? I believe it stems from our social nature. If men were islands, there would be no need to examine someone else’s behavior, to judge or to recommend. Each individual would be responsible to himself or herself and that would be the end of it. But as it stands, we don’t operate that way. We need the interaction of large and small groups, of an all-encompassing and intensely private culture. So it follows that initiation rites, whatever you may think of them, are necessary to maintain order and ensure survival (on a deeper than hand-tomouth level).
What we choose to make of these rites is another issue entirely. Although they are supposed to indicate a movement through time and space, often in our modern world they don’t actually do much of anything. For instance, when a young girl in a Third World nation experiences her menarche, her life may radically change. Where she lives, how she lives and how she is expected to behave could be totally different from her former place in society. Here in the states, turning 18 means little more than being able to buy your own cigarettes. I think we, for the most part, have lost touch with what it means to go through a rite of passage. One may go through the motions, but they are hollow. There are no marked differences in our actions when we turn 21. Not even marriage necessarily makes one an adult. Too often, in fact, we find that young men and women who are legally adults act no more responsibly than their high school counterparts. It comes down to experience and choices. It is my hope that all of you reading this, no matter how young or old, may start this new school year in a manner befitting whatever stage of life you’re in. That doesn’t mean conforming to whatever stereotyped stage you’re in; on the contrary, your mission is to discover what it ought to mean to be 19, 27, 34 or 62, and then to go out and be an example to others. Because like it or not, you’ve all been initiated into a very particular group, and what you make of the opportunity depends entirely on your mindset. You may have a vision, but if you do nothing with that vision, then perhaps it wasn’t worth anything anyway. But to have the vision, you have to be open to letting it in. So as we wrap up the first few days of school, I hope you will think about your place here. Now that you have been given charge (again!) of your own life, how will you have yourself and others remember you as you were today? Because that is initiation, too: validation. Don’t be a square and let this go in one ear and out the other; everyone’s got someone to be. Cheers to the start of a new semester. — Anna-Lise Burnette is a junior in global and Asian studies.

Lady Vols release tennis schedule Staff Reports As is typically the case, the UT women’s tennis team faces a challenging schedule for the upcoming season, as co-head coaches Mike Patrick and Sonia Hahn-Patrick announced the 2010-11 slate on Thursday afternoon. “We’ve always had a challenging schedule,” Mike Patrick said. “That’s no different this year. It’s built to make our kids grow up in a hurry. We have some really tough matches in the spring, especially at the end of the season. Hopefully we’re ready come tournament time.” After a successful spring 2010 campaign that saw the Lady Vols advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Championships for the first time in eight years, UT is set to compete against 13 squads from last year’s NCAA field. The Orange and White are anchored by three experienced seniors: Rosalía Alda, Jennifer Meredith and Maria Sorbello. Alda and Sorbello were both All-SEC Second Team selections last season as each recorded career highs in victories. Alda enters the season in 13th place in school history with 80 doubles wins. “Our program is always going to go as our seniors go,” Patrick said. “Last year, our two seniors had great years. Hopefully this year, our three seniors will be playing their best tennis. I know they have high goals for the season and I’m excited to see how they lead this year.” Tennessee also adds a strong crop of freshmen. Millicent Nichols, Whitney Wofford and Brynn Boren will all be looking to make significant contributions right away. The fall tournament schedule gets underway with the SEC Coaches’ Tournament from Sept. 10-12 in Auburn, Ala. From there, UT will compete in two additional tournaments, including the Furman Fall Classic and the Wake Forest Tournament. The Lady Vols will host the ITA Ohio Valley Regional at the Knoxville Racquet Club from Oct. 14-18. Top finishers will advance to the National ITA Indoors, played in New York City from Nov. 4-7. After finishing up tournament play with the Michigan
Tournament from Jan. 15-17, the Big Orange will open dual match play in Champaign, Ill., against Illinois. Tennessee will then christen the newly renovated Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center during the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, held from Jan. 30-31. The construction adds two more indoor courts, giving the Lady Vols a full complement of six and putting the program’s indoor facility on par with that of any school in the nation. UT’s non-conference schedule includes tilts with Big Ten powers Indiana on Feb. 12 and Ohio State on March 23, as well as a March 19 rematch of last season’s NCAA Quarterfinal contest against Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish toppled the Lady Vols in that meeting, ending Tennessee’s season. After non-conference play concludes, the Orange and White will compete in a full 11-match SEC schedule, taking on some of the nation’s best teams, including last year’s NCAA runner-up, Florida. Senior Day for the Lady Vols will take place on April 16 against border rival Georgia. UT will also serve as the host institution for the 2011 SEC Tennis Championships, running from April 21-24. From there, UT is hoping to advance to its 16th straight NCAA Tennis Tournament. The first and second rounds will be held at campus sites from May 13-15, with 16 teams advancing to the 2011 NCAA Championships in Palo Alto, Calif., on May 19-24. The NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships will then take place from May 2530.

Volleyball squad picked to finish atop SEC in preseason rankings Staff Reports The UT volleyball team has been selected to win the 2010 Southeastern Conference volleyball title in a preseason vote by the league's 11 coaches. This marks the first time since 1994 that a team other than University of Florida has been voted to capture the title, snapping at least a 16year run at the honors by the Gators. The Lady Vols received nine of the 11 first-place votes for the league champion. The other two tallies both went to UF. The honor comes just a day after the Big Orange earned its first preseason national ranking since 2006, coming in at No. 19 in the initial American Volleyball Coaches Association poll. UT is coming off a 2009 campaign in which it reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament after compiling a 24-8 record, including a program-best 16 SEC victories. Tennessee received 11 points to win the Eastern Division, followed by Florida with 21 points and Kentucky with 25. Georgia and South Carolina have been picked to finish fourth and fifth in the division respectively. The Gators did receive two first-place votes for overall champion. The defending SEC Champion LSU Tigers are predicted to win the Western Division for the third consecutive season with 13 first-place votes. The Tigers posted an 18-2 league record and a 25-7 overall record. The Auburn Tigers have been selected to finish second with 19 points, and the Arkansas Razorbacks are predicted to place third with 25 points. Ole Miss and Mississippi State are picked to finish fourth and fifth, respectively, while the Alabama Crimson Tide rounds out the poll in sixth-place. Points were compiled on a 1-2-3-4-5-6 basis for the Western Division and 1-2-3-4-5 for the Eastern Division. The team with the fewest points ranked the highest.

Hall of Fame Vol lineman DeLong dies at 67 Staff Reports Tennessee lineman Steve DeLong, 1964 winner of the Outland Trophy and member of the College Football Hall of Fame, died Wednesday in Knoxville at the age of 67. DeLong made a name for himself through toughness at a time when Tennessee football fortunes were low. The Norfolk, Va., native played for three different head coaches in as many seasons, suiting up for Bowden Wyatt’s last year in 1962, Jim McDonald’s only stint in 1963 and for the first season under Doug Dickey in 1964. “I’m very sorry to learn of his passing,” Dickey said Wednesday by phone. “Steve was a great football player for us. He was a wonderful team player and a delightful person to coach.” The Vols received little national recognition and were a combined 13-16-1 in DeLong ’s three years, never winning more than five games. Nonetheless, DeLong ’s greatness was easy to spot, and he continued to star regardless of who was coaching. “He was a great player on a very average team,”
Dickey added. “To have won that award (Outland) was an unusual accomplishment, but he was truly deserving of it. It was the first national award won by a Tennessee player.” Playing before the era of defensive statistics, DeLong was named to the Associated Press All-Sophomore team and earned the first of three SEC Coaches Best Defensive Lineman awards as a middle guard. He was voted All-SEC both as a junior and senior. The Columbus Touchdown Club, Birmingham Touchdown Club and Look magazine also named him the nation’s outstanding lineman of 1964, and he was MVP of the 1965 Senior Bowl. DeLong was twice named All-America and captured the 1964 Outland Trophy, presented annually to the nation’s best interior lineman. Despite Tennessee’s 4-5-1 record that year, DeLong never let the defense be a reason for shortcomings. The Vols allowed just 121 points in 10 games -- losing 3-0 to Auburn, tying LSU 3-3 and losing 7-0 to Vanderbilt among their results. DeLong captained the Vols as a senior and also served as captain of the East squad in the 1965 Shrine Bowl. Not long afterward, he was the sixth player selected by both the NFL’s Chicago Bears and AFL’s San Diego
Chargers in the 1965 drafts. DeLong played for the Chargers from 1965-71 before finishing his playing career with the Bears in 1972. The College Football Hall of Fame added DeLong to its ranks in 1993. Other awards include being named to the Atlanta Journal’s 35th anniversary All-SEC team in 1968, induction to his Oscar Smith High School hall of honor in 1987, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. He was one of three DeLongs to play at Tennessee and all three were captains or co-captains of their squads. DeLong ’s brother, Ken, was a two-time All-SEC tight end selection from 1967-69, while his son, Keith, was an All-SEC and All-America linebacker from 198588. Keith was a first-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers in 1989. Steve and Keith are the only father-son All-America combination in Tennessee history, and both were selected by fan vote to the school’s “100 Years All-Time Team” in 1991. Steve DeLong suffered a traumatic injury that left him partially paralyzed after a fall at his Newport home back in 2002. He died Wednesday at Knoxville’s St. Mary’s Hospital, and funeral arrangements are pending.
Lady Vol golfers impress in summer Staff Report Paced by impressive international victories from junior Nathalie Mansson and sophomore Sara Monberg, the UT women’s golf team had an outstanding summer of competition. Mansson secured the European Ladies Team Championship for Sweden in July in Caragena, Spain, by sinking a three-foot putt for birdie on the first playoff hole in her match against Spain’s Ane Urchegui. Her win gave the Swedes a 4-3 victory over the host country at La Manga Club. Monberg also competed at the European Championship for Denmark, leading the squad to a seventh-place finish. However, the highlight of her summer was nabbing the individual title at the Danish Stroke Play Championship from July 30 to Aug. 1 at the Tia Patron• The Daily Beacon Hjoerring Golf Club, carding a 295 total. She also finished third at the 2010 Danish Women’s Open Amateur Golf As part of Welcome Week, TRECS hosted a “Dive-In” on Wednesday at the outChampionship in July, tallying a four-day total of 307 (+19) at the Silkeborg Golf Club door pool. “Hot Tub Time Machine” was shown for swimming students. in Loretto School, Scotland. Additionally, five other Lady Vols hit the links over the summer to prepare for the Smokey’s upcoming season. Senior Quote: Senior Lauren Spurlock and sophomore Leigh Henderson both competed at the Tennessee Women’s Amateur Championship at the Cleveland Country Club in June. Spurlock, a Memphis native, tied for third in the stroke play qualifying round, fir“Studs Recycle” ing a 74 (+2), while Henderson, of Knoxville, tied for 35th with an 85 (+13). In the match play portion of the tournament, Spurlock earned the fourth seed and easily advanced to the second round before falling to eventual runner-up Ashley Lance. Senior Rebecca Watson competed on the 2010 NCAA All-Star Team that traveled throughout Asia and played in a variety of tournaments in June. The 10-person squad traveled to Japan, South Korea and China, participated in competitions and gave clinics. Fresh from each having won individual state championships in May, UT’s incoming freshmen, Kaitlyn Rohrback and Chessey Thomas, found success after the completion of their prep careers. Rohrback captured the Maryland Women’s Amateur Championship in July, cruising to a 4 and 3 victory over Caroline Sweet, the tournament’s 2008 winner, at the Sparrows Point Country Club in Baltimore. Thomas advanced to the Round of 16 at the PNGA Women’s Amateur Championship at the Clarkston Golf and Country Club in Clarkston, Wash. She finished second during the stroke play portion of the event, which was also held in July. The Lady Vol women’s golf team kicks off the season from Sept. 13-15 at the Fall Preview in College Station, Texas. UT will be competing at the Traditions Club, site of the 2011 NCAA Championships. The Big Orange plans on making a return trip to the course in May for its third straight national tournament appearance.
