Pride center reopens after diversity office defunding Isabella King
Contributor Bisexual, pansexual, transgender, aromantic, asexual and rainbow flags fly from the windows of the Pride Center, which reopened for the Fall semester after the Office of Diversity and Inclusion shut down on May 23, 2016. On Aug. 18, the Pride Ambassadors held their first open house in the Pride Center after Public Chapter 1066 passed, which defunded the diversity office. “The Pride Center is a welcoming space for the LGBTQIAA community,” Danny Glassmann, Associate Dean of Students, said, “to have a welcoming space to gather and community with one another, to educate the

community on the LGBTQIAA community and their needs and to really just make the campus aware of the diversity of our campus. It’s really a safe space for students to gather.” Glassmann said support for the center grew more quickly after the Orlando shooting to increase awareness on LGBTQ events, resources and issues. Pride Ambassadors also attended the event to monitor the front desk, order pizza and drinks and educate and welcome attendees. The center supports students who have come out or are in the process of coming out and coordinates outreach events. After Public Chapter 1066 passed, many programs were cancelled. One of the few that survived was “Friendsgiving,” which brings together students who may not have come out to their families yet or may have trouble at home due to their sexuality for a Thanksgiving dinner.
A group of professors providing support for the center made a surprise appearance. One of their members is Misty Anderson, an English professor at UT. “Our whole reason for gathering is to try to figure out how we can be supportive of our students,” Anderson said. “We want to make sure we’re taking care of our students. Before we had a Pride Center, there was really no place for kids who were questioning or queer to go.” She described watching surrounding schools, even in the South, establishing pride centers and felt disappointed at the length of time it took UTK to establish a similar group. “As our peer institutions like Georgia and Florida were developing robust and well-staffed pride centers — it’s part of what a university provides these days, in terms of student services. The Pride Center has an especially important

role to play in the mental health and well-being of UT students,” Anderson said. Anderson and a group of professors began to fill the hole the law made. The “guerrilla group,” as Anderson described it, has offered their time and resources to the Pride Center in whatever capacity needed. “We were really just a collective of professors who were eating our lunch together this summer, trying to figure out how we could help,” Anderson said. Despite the lack of funding and the social climate of the area, which may be viewed as unfriendly after Public Chapter 1066 passed to LGBTQ individuals, the Pride Center continues to hold events, and people continue to attend. The center is open for anyone to stop by between 9 a.m. — 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. — 6 p.m. on Friday.

Nude Trump statue taken down in New York
Messaging app builds hacker fantasy
Child suicide bomber kills 51 at Kurdish wedding
A veiny and nude statue of the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was taken down Thursday morning, Aug. 18 just hours after it was erected. The anarchist group INDECLINE took responsibility for the statue, which is title The Emperor Has No Balls and depicts a nude Trump with a protruding stomach and no testicles. INDECLINE put up the statue overnight Thursday in Union Square, NY, and the following day the NYC Parks department released an official statement which reads: “NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.”
E Corp Messaging App, the interface for a mobile game designed by Nightschool Studios, uses texting to bring users into a fictional storyline involving rival groups of hackers and a missing image file. The game creates realistic user interactions with fictional characters who drive the plot and pull the user into the world of a hacker. The story is based off of the cult-favorite USA TV show Mr. Robot, and the game’s designer Adam Hines worked closely with the TV show’s writer to design gameplay. At $2.99, E Corp Messaging App made it onto Apple App Store’s Top Ten paid apps list earlier this week.
A Kurdish wedding party became the site of the most recent terrorist attack in Turkey on Saturday night, Aug. 20. As guests were exiting the party and dancing in the streets of Gaziantep, a Turkish city, a child between the ages of 12 to 14-years-old detonated a vest of explosives he was wearing, killing 51 people and wounding 69. Gaziantep is located near the Syrian border where there are several known IS cells, and the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the Islamic State was behind the attack.

A group of social workers have created a website to help recovering addicts find sober roommates. The website, “MySoberRoommate. com” was launched two months ago in Los Angeles, California. The website was started after the cofounders worked with clients to find sober living situations but found no online services to help.

New vet center at UT geared toward helping students Priya Narapareddy Contributor
UT welcomed student veterans to the grand opening of the Veterans Resource Center on the 4th floor of Dunford Hall on Aug. 18. “UT’s new Veterans Resource Center in Dunford Hall has an on-campus support system to guide veterans as they make the transition from the military to the classroom,” Former U.S. Marine and UT student Brandon Pendergrass said. Pendergrass, junior in psychology, personally made this transition after he was wounded in Afghanistan in 2011. He described arriving on campus as an experience that can be overwhelming for any veteran, whether they have been in combat or not. Pendergrass said his own transition from a structured military setting to a college campus took getting used to. “Transition is a journey that everyone has to push through,” he said. Jayetta Rogers, UT’s Veterans Affairs Coordinator and School Certifying Official, explained how the Veterans Resource Center was created to provide veterans with resources as well as a home on campus.
Rogers noted that there are currently about 500 student veterans on campus and about 800 students who are eligible to receive veterans’ benefits. “UT’s student veteran population includes veterans from all branches of the military,” Rogers said. “The most important thing is for (veterans) to have a space on campus and the connection to students.” The Veterans Resource Center not only provides a study area for student veterans, but it also provides them with services. Student veterans can be assisted as they complete their paperwork, apply for benefits or make housing decisions. Although some student veterans live off-campus, those who live in the university’s residence halls can also choose to live with other veterans. The Veterans Resource Center received a $5,000 grant from Home Depot this month. Long-term goals for the VA Center include offering more services for students, as well as expanding into the Knoxville community. “We hope to expand out in the community so that student veterans can get the support they need,” Rogers said. Student veterans who visit the center will also learn about campus organizations, including “VOLfighters”, which is UT’s chapter of Student
Veterans of America. Pendergrass is also the president of VOLfighters. The organization conducts community service projects each semester in Knoxville. The VOLfighters have participated in service projects such as cleaning up Sharp’s Ridge and volunteering with other local veterans groups to serve Korean War veterans lunch. The VOLfighters also present student veterans with the opportunity to build friendships with each other. Pendergrass expressed how the Veterans Resource Center allows student veterans to meet likeminded individuals. “It can be difficult for student veterans to relate with traditional students,” He explained, noting that he hopes the Veterans Resource Center will help ease the feeling of being alone for student veterans. “Not many veterans are open with their experiences,” he said. “A big advantage of the veterans center is friendships among student veterans.” The Veterans Resource Center is open from 9 a.m. — 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It is located on the fourth floor of Dunford Hall.
Student veteran Brandon Pendergrass spoke to those attending the event as both the President of the student veterans organization at UT and as a Work Study for the Office of Veteran Affairs. Tyler Warner • The Daily Beacon

T.I.N.A : There is no alternative? Try again. Ryne Tipton
May You Live in Interesting Times
Margaret Thatcher, one of the most preeminent conservative leaders of the 20th century, coined a phrase she liked to refer to as T.I.N.A.: there is no alternative. As thousands of coal miners lost their jobs across the United Kingdom, as severe cuts to public expenditure forged an environment of social degradation and as the British political left was continually consigned to defeat — election after election — she convinced dejected voters that the “tough medicine” she shoved down the throats of her own countrymen was absolutely necessary. Her leadership left a dark legacy on the U.K.’s parliamentary democracy, pressuring her opponents within the British Labour Party to cynically drop their socialist values in favor of corporatized, centrist politics. When asked years later about her greatest legacy, she emphatically replied, “Tony Blair and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds.” Here in the United States, even in Tennessee, even in our own campus, I think we witness a similar phenomenon at play. For decades, the Democrats (the closest thing we have to a European-style labor or social-democratic party) have been losing our part of the country (the South). Though political scholars argue over the particulars of this phenomenon, most concede that this has had less to do with race (as many Democrats like to argue) and more to do with a fundamental shift in the Democratic Party’s politics away from its workingclass and unionized roots. I think that few people in our generation would believe as President Truman once did that the Democratic Party truly represents “the People.” Instead, scholars like Thomas Frank argue that the Democrats have taken the place of the Republicans as the party of “professionals”: uppermiddle class people with virtually no ties to organized labor and no ties to the working-class people that they occasionally and paternally claim to represent. This is how a party that used to stress its populism and putting human welfare first ended up electing a certain “New Democrat” from Arkansas who deregulated the financial sector, supported a free trade deal that cost Americans hundreds of thousands of decent paying jobs, and who even attempted to negotiate partial privatization of Social Security with Newt Gingrich. This is how, even now, under a President who is somewhat more progressive, single-payer health insurance never got to the negotiating table (though it is the alpha and omega of “affordable care” solutions), how America got a too-little-toolate stimulus package full of temporary tax cuts in 2009, and how most importantly, Democrats have not been able to regain control of the House (or make gains in the Senate) since 2010. Instead of taking full responsibility for their political inadequacy, Democrats like to shout back
at their left-wing critics the same thing Margaret Thatcher once shouted at her left-wing opponents, “There is no alternative!” Republican obstruction! Right-wing idiocy! What else could we have done? The usual lame excuses for a lack of political will and imagination. Perhaps where this is even more apparent than in Congress is in our own state legislature. I applaud many Tennessee Democrats for standing up to the privatization proposals put forth by Haslam and Company. I think it’s great that they’ve challenged their Republican colleagues on their refusal to support something as basic as Insure Tennessee. But at the same time, when have they gone on the offensive? When have they really gone to the voters of our state (particularly youth) and proposed a more attractive narrative and vision than what the Republicans have to offer? The answer is that they haven’t. In Kingsport, where I originally come from, they don’t even run candidates. And then they wonder why people — when they do run candidates — won’t vote for them. They seem to be more worried about the average East Tennessean having the ability to own a gun, rather than the fact that he or she doesn’t have a union to protect him or her, adequate health insurance, and a real stake in the political process. They seemed to be more worried about creating a “stable” business environment, than actually working on behalf of working people. They’re so afraid of challenging the conservative political consensus in this state that they have essentially abandoned progressive politics altogether for mind-numbing centrist elitism. Yes, Tennessee, there is an alternative. If the Democrats pursued a populist approach, if they had the courage to do so, I think they definitely could win people over and make real change. More democratic management of state political affairs, strong pro-union legislation, public banking to help small businesses and students, shifting to a graduated income tax (rather than having one of the highest state sales taxes in the country), public ownership and public-private partnerships to give citizens a say in our economy (and develop our manufacturing capacity) and so on. We need a narrative that actually excites people, rather than one that puts them to sleep — becoming, once again, the party of the people, and in a much more radical way than ever before. But, if they wish to continue as the professionalclass anesthetists, putting “the People”, in the words of Truman, to sleep, more power to them. They can reside within that self-fulfilling prophecy of no alternative, or they can be the alternative. It’s their choice.

UT alumnus one of five to help design an ‘event of a lifetime’ Anu Kumar
Staff Writer
Sarah Davis, a class of 2014 graduate, had little to no idea what was in store for her when she was chosen to participate in Concept 56, an agency in Nashville, Tennessee. Davis, a former communication and media studies major, is one of five handpicked people who were given the task to plan and execute an “event of a lifetime” for Nashville. The main task is to design a public event that would honor Nashville and simultaneously represent Jagermeister as a brand. “I got involved while I was finishing up my last semester at UT,” Davis said. “The job description and application for this project was a bit vague and mysterious, but something about it intrigued me enough to apply.” Concept 56 had nearly 200 applicants for five open spots. The project lasts approximately six months and is sponsored by Jägermeister. The air of mystery that began when Davis applied for the position remained through her time there. “(The mystery) has been an inspiration behind the concept that we have come up with,” Davis said. “Jägermeister provided us with the skeleton and inspiration behind the Concept 56 project but gave us the reigns in terms of creative direction.” Once brainstorming went underway, the project turned to the local artists, musicians and culture of Music City. “I think we can all agree that a major goal of this project is to shed light on the creative community in Nashville,” Davis said. The project encourages Nashville citizens to support the local creative culture and discover a new side to their city that they have not experienced in the past. Being a recent graduate from UT and involved in Concept 56 can be viewed as both rare and impressive. Davis’ previous experience proved that she fit the bill for both qualities. She attributes a good portion of her success to her time at UT. “One of the most valuable takeaways from my time (at UT) was discovering the significance of building a strong community,” Davis said. This skill comes in handy with her current work, especially with executing such a grand project with four other individuals who are just as unique and brilliant. “I was able to see first-hand what inspired people and promoted interaction along with community involvement,”
Davis said. There have been some issues along the way, but Davis remains confident that the team will execute their job well and make an impact on the Nashville community. Plans could go awry, tension may rise between the members and changes could be made at the last minute to account for the fast-paced environment. “Pairing five entirely different individuals, all with unique creative vision and work ethic, was challenging at first,” Davis said. “Once we began to dive into planning and determine where our strengths would be best utilized, we were able to develop a flow that has helped everyone maintain a compatible and cohesive vision.” Davis said UT students should not be afraid to ask questions and mentions again how the university has impacted her success because of the great resources available. “UT proves students with incredible, talented professors can have a huge impact on your future success,” Davis said. Davis added to not be afraid to take risks, including applying to jobs and internships that you may not feel completely qualified for, and to separate yourself from the pack. “Marketing is all about taking risks and thinking outside of the box, so my advice is to find your spark and run with it,” Davis said. “There will be critics and hurdles in your way, but it only takes one idea to get the ball rolling.”

Mixtape Monday Anu Kumar
Staff Writer Not to Disappear – Daughter – Indie folk – January 2016 Daughter, a British indie folk band that has transitioned towards indie pop, is in their second album “Not to Disappear.� The album was released in January 2016, receiving generally positive reviews about its musicality that set it apart from other indie pop albums. The album
combines a few aspects of modern indie pop with dark overtones, and a fluid but not explosive vocal line. There is a psychadelic feel with the use of soft vocals throughout. The songs are well layered, and not overall “loud� like some of today’s radio music. While most of the songs have the same composition theme that portrays the album, each song is still tweaked differently to make them unique from one song to another. “New Ways� gives a light, airy feel with a guitar motif repeated to give more presence to the vocals,
while “Numbers� features more percussion driven sections to support the vocals. The only complaint I have about this album is the vocal line, although I’m not sure how unique the band would sound without it. Elena Tonra, the lead singer of Daughter, adds a feather light touch to the overall sound, but the dynamics are relatively nonexistent. Rating: 8/10 The Boop-A-Doo – The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies – jazz/swing Strange name for a unique band indeed. Jazz albums aren’t as popularized in culture as they should be. Most of the band, nicknamed “The Daddies,� takes inspiration from the swing culture from the 20s and 30s. The Boop-A-Doo is their eighth studio album and was released in January of this year. The plan for this album came while “The Daddies� were touring and promoting their previous album Please Return the Evening, when one of the members posted online that there were plans to explore another direction of the band’s sound. “The Daddies� nicknamed the time period between the 1920s and late 1930s the “era of Boop-A-Doop� thus coining the album name. This music is a different style of jazz. Listening to this album makes you feel like you’ve travelled back in time to the era of flappers and oddly tailored suits. Like typical jazz instrumentation, brass takes center stage in this album. I don’t know about others, but it’s refreshing to hear a different set of instruments that have moving lines and changing melodies. I don’t have any complaints for this album. This is great for a pick-me-up in the morning when you’re trying to get ready for the dreary day ahead, but then
again jazz is always a good idea. Rate: 8.6/10 Handwritten – Shawn Mendes – pop, soul, R&B – April 2015 This one is a little older and better known, but Shawn Mendes is worth checking out if you haven’t already. This is Mendes’ first studio album and was released early last year. Many of his songs have been climbing the charts since its debut, and continues to do so as the radio – and general public – tune into his soul inspired pop songs. The native Canadian is only 18, yet he’s already fairly successful. He got his start by posting song covers on Vine, and touring nationwide as Austin Mahone’s opening act. Much like Charlie Puth, Mendes incorporates many aspects of R&B and soul into his music. His lyrics are very personal, and his vocal musicality is impressive. Much like the title of the album implies, the music is very close to his heart and touches on different themes. In “Aftertaste,� using only a guitar and his voice, makes the lyrics the main focus of the song. It’s a refreshing take on pop music – the dynamic musicianship is still present without the need for adding in layer upon layer of instruments to mask an autotuned voice. Since this is Mendes’ first album, there’s a chance that he could risk blending into the R&B-esque pop community. After listening to the first few songs on the album, it all starts to sound the same after some time. His music is another fresh take on the pop genre, but he’s gambling his individuality if he chooses to follow the trend of the genre. Rate: 7.5/10

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

Vols receive No. 9 in first AP poll Staff Report For the first timein a decade, the Vols are in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll. The Vols were granted the No. 9 spot in Sunday’s preseason AP Top 25 poll. It is the highest ranking the Vols have received in a preseason poll since the 2005 season when the Vols were ranked No. 3. Three of the Vols’ 2016 opponents were ranked in the AP preseason poll. Alabama, who earned the No. 1 spot, will play the Vols on Oct.
15 in Neyland Stadium. The Vols will travel to Athens, Georgia, to take on the No. 18 Georgia Bulldogs on Oct. 1. Finally, the Vols will host the No. 25 Florida Gators on Sept. 24. The SEC has six teams in the preseason Top 25. No. 5 LSU and No. 11 Ole Miss are the remaining SEC teams listed in the poll. The Vols are the only team in the preseason top 10 that had four losses last season. Tennessee will open up the 2016 season at home on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. against Appalachian State. Classes are cancelled for that day in preparation for the game.

Vols lose first home opener in years Tyler Wombles Contributor
Tennessee women’s soccer head coach Brian Pensky was indecisive about his team’s performance in the 0-1 loss to the Southeast Missouri Redhawks on Friday. “I would give us probably in the area of a C-plus as an average,” Pensky said. “I think at times we were in the B-range, we had some B moments, and I think we had some C-minus, D-plus moments.” Penskypraised the teams offense and thought that it could learn from the loss. “As a whole, we were the more dangerous team,” Pensky said. “The moments where we asserted ourselves, I thought we were good tonight.” End of an Era: With the loss Friday night, the Volunteers end a long streak of successful season openers. Before Friday, Tennessee had a nine year record of 8-0-1 for the first game of the season, 10-0-1 in the season openers played at home and 15-4-1 all-time with home openers. Pensky credited the season opening loss to small amounts of preparation time. “It’s early,” Pensky said. “This is our sixteenth day together, so we’ve got to get better, and we’ll get better. I told the group right there at the end, ‘We’re gonna figure this out and we’re gonna be okay…’ And that starts tonight, with us looking at video and moving forward.” Taking More Shots: One positive takeaway from Tennessee’s loss was an increase in shots
taken compared to last Saturday’s scrimmage against Clemson. The Vols attempted two shots the entire contest, while the offense took eighteen shots Friday night. “I think we had our foot on the gas a little bit more than we did against Clemson,” Pensky said. “Yet, I don’t know that we made their goalkeeper make any real saves. We were wide at times, we were high at times and not good enough. We can have all the shots in the world, but if you don’t make keepers make plays, and you don’t score goals, then it’s all for naught.” Danielle Marcano, Ariel Kupritz and Anna McClung led the team with three attempted shots each. Simmons Gets the Start: Redshirt senior Jamie Simmons started as goalkeeper Friday night for the Vols recording five saves and allowing one goal. She takes over the position from graduated standout Julie Echols. Pensky stated that despite the one goal given up, Simmons played well in her first start. “I thought Jamie carried herself well,” Pensky said. “I thought she made a couple good saves in the first half, had confidence about her, which is awesome too see. I thought her distribution was good.” Simmons said that she wanted to get back to the drawing board and continue to improve her play. “It’s hard for a goalkeeper,” Simmons said. “One mistake can end the game. I’ll go back and figure out the things I did well, things I did wrong, reevaluate and come out Sunday and we’re looking for a win.”
