Majority of students opt in
Student programming to cope with budget changes after opt-in deadline Hayley Brundige News Editor (@hayleybrundige)
Savannah Gilman Staff Writer The choice was yours. At midnight Aug. 20, the chance to opt in or out of the student programming fee on MyUTK came to a close. For registered part-time and full-time students paying some or all of the Student Programs and Services Fee, the system recorded 26,172 choices made: 21,541 - 82.31 percent of students opted in, while 4,631 - 17.69 percent of students opted out. Those who chose to opt in allowed their $19.46 Student Program and Services Fee to be allocated for student-organized program-
ming like Volapalooza, Vol Night Long and Issues Committee lectures. While both parties paid the same amount, those who opted out chose not to support student programming. Instead, their funds will be reallocated to other campus resources. Students who missed the August deadline automatically opted out. Administrators strove to inform students of the new procedure, Vice Chancellor for Student Life Vincent Carilli said, to prevent accidental opt-outs. ”We have tried to provide as much information as possible so that students could make an informed decision,” Carilli said. Carilli also stated that the university has not taken a formal position on whether students should opt in or opt out. Opting out reduces the pool of money that student organizations may request for
funding. Students who opted out must pay the public admission price to attend any programming supported by this portion of the fee. Greta Hoffman, junior in communications disorders, became familiar with the effects of the opt-in clause at the Clarence Brown Theater, where students who opted in will continue to enjoy $5 tickets, rather than full price admission. “If I didn’t opt in, I would be spending a fortune to go to all the shows I want to,” Hoffman said. After realizing student fees could support Sex Week, Natalie Beitel, junior in electrical engineering, chose to opt out. For Beitel, it was a “moral decision.” “I don’t agree with a lot of the things that went on during Sex Week and I took the stance that even though it’s only about 17 cents, not a large sum to pay, I still don’t want that money going to Sex Week,” Beitel said.

Students shimmy with Planeta Azul
The Passistas, Brazilian samba dancers, encouraged audience participation at the Planeta Azul event hosted by the Cultural Attractions Committee and Central Program Council on Aug. 22.
Brazilian dance group shares culture through dance Hannah Cather Photo Editor (@hannahcather)
Despite the humidity, more than 100 people gathered in the HSS Amphitheater to watch the Brazilian dance troupe Planeta Azul on Friday. While the performance was set to begin at 8 p.m., the dancers did not appear for another 30 minutes. Mosquitos were swarming, but as three women clad only in feathers and sequins climbed on stage, the audience let out an audible gasp. Two less conspicuously dressed dancers followed, but the entire group soon broke into motion, shimmying and shaking to the music. Feathers flapped, sequins flashed and the audience clapped along to the beat. As the music died down, one smiling member stepped forward to greet the audience and introduce the group. Accent notably absent, she explained that Planeta Azul was formed in

Chicago. Planeta Azul consists of two performing groups: the samba band and the Passistas Samba dance troupe. According to the group’s website, it is “the Midwest’s premier samba dance company,” and travels across the country providing live entertainment as well as samba lessons. “By the time we’re done, you won’t even realize we’re still in Knoxville,” said Yaasha Abraham, the group’s leader, as she asked the audience to stand for the first dance lesson. A soft beat started to play, and the dancers began to bob to the sounds of a “chocalho,” the generic Portuguese word for a shaker instrument. Abraham explained that in samba, this beat is “the engine that keeps the samba train running.” “When you hear that engine, your body starts going,” Abraham explained. “You start by bumping up and down.”

Roaches, mold and break-ins Students struggle with negligent Fort Sanders landlords Projects Editor For many UT students seeking their first non-dormitory home, the Fort Sanders neighborhood is prime real estate. Every spring, starry-eyed 20-somethings quickly snap up leases in the Fort, eager to live in the sole residential district within walking distance of campus. But what happens when those leases – and the crooked landlords that accompany them – don’t quite live up to the hype? “There was black mold in the kitchen; there was standing water throughout the entrance hallway and into the kitchen and living room,” Marissa Scribner, senior in BCMB, recalled of the apartment she nearly moved into this month. “We found out it was sewage water when we had been told it was just a regular leak.” While touring the apartment a mere two months prior to move-in, Scribner and her roommate were appalled to discover how startlingly far the Clinch
Avenue home had degenerated. “I ended up talking to the prior tenants who said there was a fire there earlier and management never fixed anything, so their pipes burst about twice a year,” Scribner said. “The landlord was just trying to talk his way through it and if it were not for our parents, then they would have screwed us over.” Scribner and her roommate were lucky to have parents in town who could intervene; others are not so fortunate. “A lot of kids won’t stick up for themselves and some of their parents aren’t in range to come rescue them,” she said. The Fort’s underhanded landlords are well aware of college students’ defenselessness and naivety, said Brooke Carpenter, a junior in physical therapy. “You’re excited about your first house and they have to know that,” Carpenter said. “In your excitement, you probably overlook some things that you might not initially see or not think to check for -- like fleas.” When Carpenter and her three roommates moved into their Forest Avenue

-Brooke Carpenter home, they were shocked to find they shared the address not only with fleas, but rats and cockroaches as well. “We had, and still have, a huge pest control problem,” she said. “We notified our landlord of this and he didn’t seem to care at all. At one point he did flea bomb the house but he didn’t even give us a day’s warning, and we had to find somewhere else to stay that night.” Failing to receive help from the landlord on behalf of rat and cockroach issues, the girls were forced to address the issue. “We got a trap for one (rat) but the other was one was really smart and would eat the peanut butter off the traps,” she said. “We used a trashcan
and had to trap it with a broom. It was the most horrible thing.” Carpenter believes many Fort residents simply accept absentee landlords, unsure how to demand better treatment. “Certain people wait until the last minute to find a place and then panic, because they’re hearing about other people who have already signed leases,” she said. “It’s later in the year so they don’t think they have many options around here, but they want to be able to walk to campus. So they just pick something close and deal with the issues.”

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones has made it clear that team speed, especially on the defensive side of the ball, is something the Volunteers must improve if they hope to contend in the SEC. So it’s fitting to see Michael Williams’ name near the top of the cornerback depth chart as the 2014 season approaches. Williams has more than enough speed to fill that void, and the proof can be found on Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium every spring where he runs track for the Vols. The road to the top of that depth chart, however, hasn’t been easy. “My time at Tennessee has been a great experience,” Williams said. “I’m blessed to have this opportunity. I have grit, (I’m) just relentless. I’m a fast guy, sometimes I play too fast, I’m just out there trying to get better and trying to make Tennessee better.” Originally following in the footsteps of his older brother Madieu Williams, who was a former second-round pick and has played 10 seasons in the NFL for the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins, Michael signed to the University of Maryland to play football but was granted a release after the Terrapins denied him the opportunity to run track. The 5-foot-11-inch, 177 pounder spent the next two years running for the Vols of LaPorte Stadium, not the ones in Neyland. But Williams still had the desire to play football and decided to join the Vols in the spring of 2013, although his mother, who passed away when he was 12, would rather his focus be solely devoted to track. “I remember my mom never wanted me to play football,” Williams said. “She always wanted me to run track. She did hurdles, so that’s the reason I did hurdles. Now I’m playing football and dedicating it to her. Everything I do is for my mom.” See FOOTBALL on Page 6

CAMPUS NEWS Noah Campbell, junior in accounting, believes that male tenants are especially prone to settle for less-than-ideal living situations. “I think that some landlords are discriminatory toward male tenants because there are all of these stereotypes about college guys not taking care of their apartments,” he said. “They think that guys won’t complain or will care less about bad conditions. I think maintenance requests made by guys are given less attention because of that.” Campbell found this particularly true of his Highland Avenue apartment last year. “Something would break or stop working and I’d put in maintenance requests and sometimes never hear back,” he said. “When they did respond, it would take a while, maybe a few weeks.” Pests, neglected maintenance repairs and mold aren’t the only issues; security can also be a problem, as recent UT graduate Emily Centko can attest. After leaving for a few weeks during winter break, Centko returned to her apartment at The Commons on Grand Avenue to find her television and Bose headphones missing. “When I contacted The Commons about it, they didn’t
OPT-IN continued from Page 1 Still, Student Government Association President Kelsey Keny stressed the importance of understanding the new student fees process. “In an ideal world, we wouldn’t even have the opt in,” Keny said. “But, since we do, it would be ideal for every single student to opt in, because that’s how big of an impact this has.” Beitel admits that because she attends campus events frequently, there have been situations this semester when it “would’ve
been nice” to have opted in. “I just really regret that the university put me in this position to where I’m almost forced to pay for something that I don’t agree with and is controversial,” Beitel said, “even though I still want to attend the events that I do support.” SGA launched a campaign last spring encouraging students to opt in, thus taking full advantage of opportunities on campus. “Not opting in just seems like a lose-lose to me, and that’s my main concern: seeing students not be able to participate in a diverse range of enriching events and potentially seeing
Students take swing at Japanese martial art Chris Salvemini Contributor
Before founding the UTK Kendo Club in 2006, Eda Shigetoshi learned from the best – his father. “He would roll newspapers and pretend they were swords, and we would spar with them,” said Shigetoshi, associate professor at the Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries who now holds the kendo equivalent to a black belt. A form of swordsmanship, kendo emphasizes personal development as much as actual fighting. “Reigi,” a term often used inside and outside the dojo, implies a deep mutual respect between student and sensei. Students are expected to arrive on time, bow upon entering the building and always behave with “reigi” in mind. Mental and physical discipline are expected, despite the rigors of kendo. Much like other martial arts, the ranking system for kendo indicates one’s level of experience with the art, organizations have less funding and participation at programs,” Keny said. “Because we have amazing programs here.” Students will be asked to make this decision again at the beginning of each semester. However, this policy change will be reassessed by the Board of Trustees in four years. Despite the sizable number of students who opted out, Carilli remains encouraged by the results. “I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of students that have made an optchoice, especially for the first attempt at developing this process,” Carilli said.
measured in “dan” or “kyu.” “Kyu” is awarded to the lower ranks, while “dan” begins with the brown belt and continues for eight more levels. The test to move beyond “kyu” typically includes a written exam as well as a sparring match. For Hunter Rice, UT alumnus and former club member, the word “hai,” Japanese for “yes sir,” best embodies the art and rigor of kendo. “You can ask what the word for ‘no’ is,” said Rice, who has achieved the rank of “ikkyu,” “but the sensei will just say that you don’t need it.” To date, the club has competed in four competitions, most recently the 4th Georgia Kendo Taikai in May 2014. There, Rice placed third in his division, while Shigetoshi placed first in his. “The difference between kendo and other martial arts is that in others, you keep going after getting hit… in kendo you usually only get one strike,” Shigetoshi said. A very vocal sport, participants often yell when they strike, attempting to confuse

recognize the problem and said it wasn’t their liability,” Centko said. “They told me I must have left my window unlocked, which was definitely not true. I didn’t even know how to open it. Someone else told me there had been several break-ins and they didn’t notify us.” The incident was blamed on her carelessness. But Centko’s window had, in fact, been shattered. “I found out that someone had broken several ground-floor windows to get in and all The Commons did was fix the windows... Considering that over $300 of my stuff was stolen, I should have at the very least been contacted.” Not all landlords in the Fort are apathetic, but Centko encouraged prospective tenants to do some digging before signing a lease. “Definitely do your research,” she said. “You should not only visit the place but also talk to former tenants and ask about their former experiences. Meeting the landlord in person is helpful too.” Ultimately, Scribner noted, a tenant has the right to refuse a landlord’s shoddy offerings. “A lot of college kids don’t know what to do and just need a place to live, so they accept bad conditions and try to make accommodations,” she said. “A lot of them don’t realize they can just say, ‘No. We’re getting out of our lease.’”

and intimidate their opponent while protecting themselves. But students hoping to join the club should not expect to don a suit of armor or grab a “shinai” (a bamboo sword) – at least, not right away. “It takes about a semester to learn the basics before they pick up a sword,” Shigetoshi explained.

Outdoor program hosts Welcome Week trips, provides serenity Cortney Roark Copy Chief (@CortneyRoark) With a full week of classes looming ahead, the UT Outdoor Program wants students to escape to the outdoors. UTOP will host a $5 outdoor trip every day of Welcome Week, Aug. 25-30. Unlike many trips throughout the year, the Welcome Week events will not be full day or weekend trips except Saturday’s trip. “The (Welcome Week) trips we offer are catered toward giving people a taste so they don’t feel overwhelmed or nervous,” said Benjy Darnell, director of the outdoor program. This week, UTOP trip-goers will choose from caving, whitewater rafting, sunset sea kayaking, an evening hike, mountain biking and the only full day trip, whitewater kayaking. Julianna Burchett, senior in environmental science and UTOP manager, named the hiking trip the least strenuous option, but added that every trip is geared toward beginners. Burchett also noted that students who get involved with UTOP once tend to come back for more programming later. According to Darnell, the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association recently conducted a study revealing that UTOP’s adventure trip participation of 857 participants was 60 percent higher than the national average of 532.08. UTOP’s climbing wall attracted 15,929 participants, a statistic 209 percent higher than the national average of 5,148.57. Darnell, who graduated from UT with a degree in therapeutic recreation and recreational administration, credits the success to the close proximity of trip locations from campus. He said the amount of time devoted to developing student instructors also helps. “On these trips we want to show people what they are capable of doing instead of saying, ‘I can’t do that,’” Darnell said. “That’s why I work in this profession. It’s amazing to see people succeed at something like that.” Burchett, who got involved with UTOP her freshman year, will lead the Welcome Week hiking trip. “We teach a lot of new skills and get people outside their bubbles,” Burchett said. “We take them to places where their phones don’t work and they’re outside their comfort zone. It’s like an escape.” An outdoor escape, Darnell suggested, is a perfect activity for clearing the mind. “Being outdoors is great, because it brings people down to foundational levels,” Darnell said. “It reveals their true self when they’re nervous or not sure what they can do. When they succeed they’re overwhelmingly happy. We want to show them that can permeate through all facets of life. “That’s what’s great about the outdoors. It helps you see what’s possible.” To sign up for a trip, visit the UTOP office on the bottom level of the TRECS. For more information about UTOP visit facebook.com/utoutdoor.

Unleash your inner scientist Life Under the Microscope by
Kenna Newcastle
As an aspiring ecologist, my feelings about the perception of my profession vary. At first, the little narcissistic voice we all possess wants my peers to see a future committed to scientific research as a noble pursuit of knowledge – an idea that sounds pretty flashy to me. Then, I realize others might picture my lab coat-clad species as investigators peering down at the world from atop some pedestal. The great index finger of humility (read: reality) then flicks me off of said pedestal and I’m left with only humble musings on how I would ideally like scientists to be valued by the general public. I want everyone to get excited about the time-tested scientific process of making observations, asking questions and disseminating discoveries to every ear. Above all, I want everyone to recognize that they too are scientists. You embrace your scientist alter-ego when you ask ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions. Why does Knoxville’s infamous humidity increase the heat index, making the dog days of summer feel even more unbearable? How is it possible for beverages to be completely calorie free? How do I get this stain out of my favorite white shirt? Will rephrasing this status update win me a few more likes or retweets? See! Caught you! You’re a scientist. True, simply asking these questions doesn’t earn you the title in which I take so much pride. With every wondering thought, there is a brief moment of contemplation that makes all the difference. You can question why it’s hard to read texts on your iPhone screen while wearing polarized sunglasses, but throwing up your hands with a simple ‘who knows’ won’t get you very far. Instead, maybe you push your sunglasses back onto your head and ask Google to explain this phenomenon. Or maybe you ask a friend - also known as your research collaborator - for his or her insight. It is the path of inquiry leading to action that validates the laboratory sitting on top of your neck. In my opinion, the term ‘scientist’ has become far too restricted in its application. If the doodles in my lab notebook and the mindless melodies that I quietly whistle on my way to class can be considered art and music, the minor discoveries that come from everyday inquiries and ‘hypothesis’ testing should definitely count as science. My seventh-grade science teacher said my kitchen was a laboratory. Although that declaration blew my mind, I’d now hazard to stretch her remark a little further by proposing that your experimental ingredients can prove far more abstract. We scientists, under a more restricted meaning of the term, simply ask more focused questions – questions that are best answered through long-term projects, fancy equipment and more often than not, a lot of troubleshooting and speculation. Science is identifying a problem and devising a solution. Science is asking a question and digging your way forward towards the answer, usually with a bit of backtracking and asking for directions in between. Science is completing a puzzle or offering society another piece to add to the big picture. I’ve found that any definition of this noble endeavor, when broken down, just as accurately describes the essence of life. Science, in its beautiful simplicity, is an integral part of our lives whether we recognize it or not. I’ll take that revelation over a flashy career on a pedestal any day of the week. So allow me, dear reader, to talk science with you every Monday. It’ll be the kind of science that will strike home, and my results will be relevant to your question-asking adventures. It’s the beginning of a spectacular collaboration. Kenna Rewcastle is a senior in College Scholars. She can be reached at kenerewc@vols.utk.edu.

The highs and lows of league drafts Fantasy Football Corner by
Austin Pirkle When it comes to fantasy football, everyone is looking for an edge to outsmart their friends and co-workers in order to bring home that championship. I hope to be the edge you’re looking for. On a weekly basis, I will give you the opportunity to get a leg up on the competition in your league by pointing out great under-theradar waiver wire pickups and when to sell high or buy low on certain players. This will not be a shot-in-the-dark guess, where I wildly throw out names with no reasoning behind them. My opinions will be backed by research I have done on strength of schedule, trends, advanced stats and injury history to give you the best chance of winning. Obviously, fantasy football is a game of chance because there are many outcomes that can never be predicted. However, the goal is always to field the best team you can for any given week. I am here to help you win each and every week while making your team stronger down the line to succeed in the playoffs. Since your draft is probably coming up this week,

but I am a big believer in Chip Kelly’s offense. DeSean Jackson is in Washington, and somebody has to catch those balls. Even if Maclin is two-thirds the player he was before, he would rack up a ton of points just on the enormous amount of opportunity. He’s going to get targeted double-digit times every game. I would be OK reaching for him in the seventh round, but you could perhaps wait till the eighth or ninth. Pierre Thomas (ADP: 109) Really!? This late! I know he’s stated as third on the depth chart as of now, but I don’t buy it. He is an all-purpose back with one of the top offenses in the league and he will see even more time in the passing game with Darren Sproles departing. I believe he will be a top No. 2 running back this year. I hope this section helped as you get ready to draft. In addition to fantasy opinions, I will be giving some commentary from my ultra-competitive fantasy league with my old high school friends. I can promise it will definitely be worth your time reading the immense trash talk that goes on between us. My inside information will surely lead you to a glorious accomplishment -- holding the fantasy trophy over your head at the end of the year. Nothing will make me happier than receiving feedback that I helped you win a championship. Austin Pirkle is a freshman in sports management. He can be reached at pirkleaustin@ gmail.com.
UT perserves (some) history Brick by Brick by
Tor Vorhees Do you know what the oldest building at the University of Tennessee is? Of course you do -- it’s South College. Next question: do you know what the second oldest building at UT is? Even “Vol for Life” identifiers may struggle with this one, as misinformation abounds. It is not Ayres, Estabrook or Andy Holt Apartments (surprisingly), but rather a building most university students fail to notice during their time here. In fact, the university did not construct the second oldest building on campus. It is not used today, and it did not have its own address until 40 years after its private construction. Any idea yet? The building I am referring to is called Cowan Cottage. Cowan Cottage (sometimes called the gardener’s cottage because of its proposed purpose) is located on the corner of present-day White Avenue and 16th Street, next to the remnants of the nowdemolished Strong Hall. This property was sold to the university in 1920 and has changed little since its acquisition. It currently sits in a staggering state of disrepair and is on Knox Heritage’s Fragile 15 list of endangered historic
buildings. The building, or more accurately, shed, was built around 1879 and was originally part of a larger complex called Cowan Mansion. After being sold to the then-tiny University of Tennessee, the complex was associated with the military program at the institution until 1940 and later the Arnett family until the year 1985. The mansion complex took up the majority of the block where Strong Hall and Clement Hall now reside and was fully razed in 1979; yet, the gardener’s cottage remains to this day. So how did this building survive when the rest of the estate was demolished years ago? It is likely that the building’s association with the Arnett family saved it during the explosive (and architecturally ruinous) university expansion of the 1970s that leveled hundreds of historic structures to make way for what were at the time shiny new complexes like Humes Hall, HPER and Clement Hall. Avoiding this obvious travesty, Cowan Cottage remained and was home to Edna Arnett until the year 1985. This fact alone likely curtailed administrative attempts to repurpose the land the cottage resided on. Edna Arnett was widely liked in the university community but could not protect the cottage forever. Following her death in 1985, Cowan Cottage began a steep decline into disrepair that continues to this day. Recently, discussion on the cottage has been more fervent as the demolition of Strong Hall led to
renewed speculation as to what would happen to the last Italianate-styled remnant of the estate. Many feared that in an effort to acquire land needed by the ever-expanding University of Tennessee, the historic but useless structure might be destroyed. Luckily, even early documentation on the demolition of Sophronia Strong Hall made it clear that every attempt would be made to save the last vestigial remnant of the extravagant Cowan estate. More recent published documentation seems to continue this positive outlook on the subject, as the plans for the new Strong Hall still mention the possible renovation and restoration of the cottage pending a structural integrity evaluation. Much like the original use of the structure, it is still unclear how a renovated Cowan Cottage could be used. The aforementioned documentation suggests mostly storage possibilities for the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, but also concedes that it is still very uncertain how the cottage could be used in the future. Regardless, it is honorable of the university to be pursuing some semblance of historical appreciation even though (not 500 feet away from the cottage) another historical complex is being destroyed in the blind eye of progress, the 1925 original Sophronia Strong Hall.

EDITORIAL
here are a few players you should avoid taking early and some others you should grab late. Players Going Too High Arian Foster (Average Draft Position: 11) I’d much rather have a Giovani Bernard or Le’Veon Bell. They have a lower risk of injury and huge upside this coming year. Doug Martin (ADP: 24) The trend continues with injury concern. Martin missed most of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery and struggled mightily before the injury after a stellar rookie year. Also, Mike James looked explosive, so there is no guarantee Doug retains his starting job. Rob Gronkowski (ADP: 29) Yes. I get it. It’s Gronk. But the facts are the facts -- Rob’s body is a glass house. From the arm to the back, plus the ACL surgery, he hasn’t been able to stay on the field the past two years. Also, there is no guarantee he is on the field week one. He could go back to being old Gronk, but there are too many good tight ends to take that risk. Players Going Too Low Kendall Wright (ADP: 92) Anyone want to guess how many balls he caught last year? He snagged 94… 94! A great PPR option, but he is going way too low in standard leagues. Wright is way under the radar for his production. I would draft him in the 6th round, which is great value. Jeremy Maclin (ADP: 102) Yes, I know he’s coming out of an ACL tear,

A samba dancer performs a Brazilian dance at Planeta Azul hosted by the Cultural Attractions Committee and Central Program Council.
jkw546@vols.utk.edu
PLANETA AZUL continued from Page 1 Next, a heavy and deep bass drum beat joined the lighter shaker sound. โ Now this bass drum is the โ surdoโ - the heartbeat of the samba,โ Abraham said. โ When we hear that heartbeat, it gives the rest of our body permission to start moving.โ Abraham counted โ one and two and three and four,โ intermittently praising the audienceโ s dancing. As the tempo increased, the crowd laughed hesitantly. Still, Abrahamโ s counting picked up speed. โ If the spirit moves you, throw a little hip shake in there,โ Abraham encouraged. After three samba dance moves, Abraham introduced some Afro-Brazilian moves. โ Now weโ re going to go to the northeastern state of Bahia,โ Abraham said. โ Without Bahia, there
would not be Brazil. Itโ s known as the cradle of Afro-Brazilian culture and civilization. There, you get the base of samba and other dances that make Brazil such a diverse place to be.โ The new dance moves involved punching the air and more shimmying, which the audience quickly mirrored, though none more deftly than the group of Brazilian exchange students standing in front. As Abraham introduced the next dance, โ Danรงa das Mรฃozinha,โ they squealed. But the students seemed happiest when Abraham started to sing โ Nosa Nosa, Asi Voce Me Mataโ - meaning โ This Is the Way You Are Going To Kill Me.โ Laynne Leao, third year pharmacy student in the Science Without Borders program, attended the event and enjoyed the familiarity to her Brazilian home. โ One thing I miss about home is dancing,โ Leao said. โ Tonight was awesome.โ

Vols officially announce transfer of Dominic Woodson Status on eligibility for 2014-15 still uncertain Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)
The Tennessee Volunteers officially announced the transfer of former Memphis Tiger Dominic Woodson on Friday. Woodson’s eligibility for the 2014-15 season has yet to be determined. “Dominic certainly adds some physicality and size to our frontline,” Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall said in a university release. “He has great upside. If he continues to improve his body and conditioning, he’ll have a chance to be a very good player at this level.” His ability to play for the Vols this season will be decided by the NCAA. If they decide to grant the 6-foot-10-inch, 300 pounder a run-off waiver – a rule that provides relief for players who were “run-off” by their previous institution for reasons outside of their control. Woodson, however, did go through orientation Thursday and began attending classes Friday. Following Memphis’s announcement that Woodson would be leaving their program Aug. 14., the Vols expressed their interest in the forward, with the big man showing mutual interest in UT as well.

•Dominic Woodson per game as a freshman last season with the Tigers – his best performance coming Feb. 1 where he corralled 11 rebounds and scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting in 18 minutes. “First of all, thank you to (head coach Josh Pastner), his staff and the University of Memphis for the great opportunity they gave me,” Woodson said. “I’m very excited about my opportunity to be at Tennessee and play for coach Tyndall.” Woodson’s arrival fills a glaring need for the Vols down low as the two biggest players currently listed on Tennessee’s roster are freshman Tariq Owens (6-feet-10-inches, 205 pounds) and junior Derek Reese (6-feet8-inches, 220 pounds). The newcomer, however, does have a reputation. Woodson served a six-game suspension for cursing on the bench in a Feb. 12 game against Central Florida, and did not travel with the Tigers during

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 The most surprising factor in the Laurel, Maryland native’s ascent is the amount of ground he’s recovered, given sporadic availability during spring camp due to track team commitments. “It’s not easy balancing track and football, especially in the spring with spring football and a full track season,” Williams said. “You have to be very focused and have determination. You can’t let yourself get beat up, you have to take the right precautions, get treatment and focus on school.” In addition to pursuing a starting spot in the Vols secondary, Williams is also trying to disprove the stereotype that ball-playing track stars are “soft.” “I consider myself a very physical player,” Williams said. “Coming from my brother, he taught me how to be a physical guy and I come from a background where we aren’t really soft. I’m from Washington D.C. and they teach you to be a tough guy there.” But it takes more than speed and physicality to reach where Williams is
the NCAA tournament due to a violation of team rules. According to a report from the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Woodson was also involved in a physical altercation with Memphis football player Robert Davis over the summer. The report, however, indicated that Davis was the aggressor. “I’ve learned from my mistakes and realize I have a lot of work to do to achieve my goals and dreams,” Woodson said. “My efforts moving forward will be focused on making my family and all the people who have helped me proud.” As a senior prep standout at West Virginia’s Huntington Prep in 2012-13, Woodson was rated as a top-100 prospect and a unanimous 4-star recruit. Originally planning to attend Baylor University for his freshman year, Woodson decommitted from the Bears due to a traffic jam at the forward position with the return of Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin. Nine days later, he flipped from Baylor to Memphis. Woodson will become the second Memphis Tiger to transfer to Tennessee in as many seasons, following in the footsteps of Antonio Barton, who averaged 7.5 points per game as a senior last season. The addition of Woodson to the Tennessee roster gives the Vols a program-record eight scholarship newcomers for the 2014-15 campaign.

now. It requires consistent work throughout fall camp. “Mike is a guy that comes to work every day, he’s kind of a lunch pail guy,” defensive backs coach Willie Martinez said. “This is very important to him. He plays
with high energy and is very consistent when it comes to effort and doing it our way, the Tennessee way. He believes in that ‘One’ philosophy, one rep at a time, and that’s why he’s playing.”

SOCCER
Lady Vols open up season with Wisc. split Staff Report The Lady Vols soccer team’s season-opening trip north was both productive and heartbreaking as Tennessee split their two contests. Friday, UT upended Milwaukee 5-0, but in Sunday’s finale, Brian Pensky’s squad fell to Wisconsin 2-1 in overtime. In the opener, Hannah Wilkinson scored twice in the first half, Milwaukee committed an own goal and Amy Neal and Gracie DeGooyer added tallies in the second half as UT scored its most goals since a 6-0 win at Mississippi State on Sept. 23, 2013. ”All wins are good wins, especially when it’s early in the season and you’re still trying to sort some things out as a team,” Pensky said Friday. “I thought
we scored some very good goals tonight with contributions from veteran kids, but at the same time we had a couple of young kids contribute and score goals for us.” Junior goalkeeper Jamie Simmons earned her first Tennessee win and her first shutout as a Volunteer, making three saves along the way. The shutout was the 132nd in UT history. But in Sunday’s finale, after Neal scored the equalizer in the 63rd minute, Wisconsin’s Kodee Williams banged home the winner in the 92nd minute to give the Badgers the one-goal victory. Williams received a pass from Kinley McNicoll and booted the ball across the goal to the right post, sneaking it past a diving Simmons. Wisconsin struck first in the 18th minute when Rose Lavelle
fired a shot from the top of the box, which traveled low toward the right post for the first goal of the game. The goal was Lavelle’s first of the season. Tennessee came out of the gate with strong offensive pressure, attacking from both sides and holding possession through the first five minutes of the game. At the half, Wisconsin had five shots to UT’s two. Tennessee had six fouls to UW’s five at the break. UT had a good ball in the 57th minute when Anna McClung sent a cross into the box from the far left side. Wilkinson sifted through traffic to get a header on it that went high. In the 63rd minute, Cheyenne Spade sent a high cross in from the left side, and Neal scored on a header to the lower left post. The goal was Neal’s second score of the year.
