Shivers aims to add ‘perspective’ to student life New Dean of Students goes ‘where the students are,’ focuses on diversity Hayley Brundige News Editor (@hayleybrundige)

There will be many firsts this upcoming weekend when Tennessee takes on Utah State in the season opener Sunday night. When the Vols defense takes to Shield-Watkins Field, they will run out the program’s first true starting freshman defensive lineman in Derek Barnett. Not only will the former 4-star Brentwood Academy standout have his family in the crowd with a bunch of friends, but he will also have the eyes of more than 100,000 other expected fans that are eager to see what he can bring to the table. “I’ve been talking to the upperclassmen and they’ve been telling me what to do before the game to keep my mind right,” Barnett said. “I will be focused when game time comes.” One teammate that has seen the evolution and growth of the Vols starting right-side defensive end from spring practice up until the now has been Jordan Williams. The senior defensive tackle, whom has the most experience up front on the defensive line and is one of just six seniors listed on the 2-deep depth chart, has confidence that Barnett will be ready to play under the bright lights. “For a freshman he is levelheaded,” Williams said. “He doesn’t panic or get too riled up when everything is flying fast around him. He’s fast himself, and physical.” Williams remembers his first game action as a freshman and getting a little lost in the excitement. Maturity is something that strikes him about his true freshman teammate. “I could see him being a little nervous, but he is light years ahead of where I was,” Williams said. “He knows the defense and he has some great football intelligence. He’ll be fine as long as he stays out there and keeps his head about himself.”

When Melissa Shivers isn’t working as the new Dean of Students, she’s rollerblading at an undisclosed skating rink in North Knoxville. As a child, Shivers’ mom would take her to the skating rink for hours. Today, this activity still brings her joy. “We had roller skates that had the little pom-poms on top,” Shivers said. “Yeah, it was a big deal. My sister and I thought we were hot stuff.” Shivers is well-spoken, warm and quick to offer a smile. A self-described “softie,” Shivers embodies the balance between

kindness with fairness– a trait which undoubtedly serves her well when interacting with students. “I think sometimes I Dean of Students, can take off my Melissa Shivers administrator hat and focus more on the feelings and the perspectives of students,” Shivers said, “and then join that with my pragmatic thinking and beliefs.” An average day for Shivers starts around 5 a.m. and sometimes does not

end until 10 or 11 p.m. Whether she is discussing campus issues with other administrators or serving on various committees, Shivers is always focused on students. “Every day it looks different,” Shivers said. “When I think about my day, some of the most enjoyable moments always center around opportunities to interact with students.” Before Shivers came to UT, she worked for the Department of Intercultural Affairs at the University of Georgia. During her tenure, Shivers worked with the campus LGBT resource center, international student life, multicultural programs and African-American cultural center to create community between students of varying backgrounds and identities. Shivers has a passion for social justice and diversity, which she says stems from her experience as a first generation college student.

Some believe the Internet is populated only by harsh commenters and creeps. For Nathan Sulfaro, however, the web is home to the most “unbiased” art critics around. A junior in 2-D painting, Sulfaro creates paintings and drawings concerned with how art moves on the Internet. Instead of personally critiquing his own work, he lets Internet users on platforms such as Instagram and Tumblr take their own stance on whether the work is successful or not. His style and subject matter are concerned with where the art will go. “It’s a current way of looking at how to judge a work of art,” Sulfaro said. “In my position, it’s like I can sit here and make little ‘whatevers’ all day, but I’m just an undergrad in Tennessee. “If it’s not up, no one’s going to see it.” With a global audience at his fingertips, Sulfaro said this is where the “democratic” part of the Internet becomes especially important. “I like the idea of it being democratic,” Sulfaro said, “democratically chosen at what succeeds and what doesn’t. There’s not necessarily an audience that’s educated to ‘get it.’” While Sulfaro has always loved drawing growing up, he intended to major in chemistry when he first arrived at UT.

Marble City 5 impresses at Market Square’s last summer jazz concert

The sound of jazz music echoed through the streets of Downtown Knoxville Tuesday night. People looking to relax after a long day of work or school chose to spend their evening listening to jazz and conversing with fellow jazz enthusiasts at the final Jazz on the Square concert of the season. Some audience members gathered in fold-out chairs surrounding Market Square’s stage, while others listened as they enjoyed dinner on the patios of the restaurants outlining Market Square.

“All through high school [my sisters and I] were told that we weren’t ever going to go to college,” Shivers said. “They told us, ‘you don’t come from the background, you don’t have the pedigree, you’re not really going to go to college.’” Contrary to what she was told, Shivers left her small hometown of Commerce, Georgia and completed her undergraduate education at Georgia Southern University, her master’s degree at Clemson University and her doctorate degree at the University of Georgia. Shivers knows what it’s like to be part of an underrepresented group, and now uses her experience to advocate for others. “I really enjoy sort of looking around the table and figuring out who’s missing,” Shivers said. “And then I try to think about the perspective that still needs to be represented.”

Other attendees made the event a family affair, complete with picnic blankets and sandwiches. The Marble City 5 consists of Vance Thompson on the trumpet, Greg Tardy on the saxophone, Keith Brown on the piano, Nolan Nevels on drums and Taylor Coker on the bass. Some of the members have roots in UT’s School of Music, as Tardy is a professor of saxophone, and Brown is the son of a piano instructor at UT. See JAZZ on Page 5

New Wal-Mart strikes conversation on worker’s rights Chris West

Contributor The products are cheap and so are the business practices. With the recent opening of Wal-Mart on Cumberland Avenue, a new topic of conversation has sparked among UT students: ethical consumerism. Currently the world’s largest retail enterprise and employer, Wal-Mart has paid approximately $1 billion in damages to U.S. employees in six countries since 2005 for failing to pay employees fair wages, according to the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. Wal-Mart also opposes any collective action by employees, denying them the right to form unions and protect their rights. Wal-Mart has also been connected to

the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people in workplace accidents and publicly charged with taking part in bribes. Although some feel that boycotting the companies involved with these practices is a solution to the problem, Robert Naylor, a senior in global studies, community liaison for the Progressive Student Alliance and the regional organizer for United Students Against Sweatshops, differs in opinion. After witnessing the affects of sweatshop conditions in the Dominican Republic on a United Students Against Sweatshops trip, Naylor became impassioned about worker’s rights and believed that raising awareness rather than boycotting retailers provided more protection for employers. “If the only place that you can afford is Wal-Mart, that’s where you’re going to shop,” he said. “I think that expecting voting with your dollar to solve poverty

respond and then react to that.” Christian said large, international corporations such as Wal-Mart can do even more damage by setting a poor example of business practices for smaller companies. “Almost half of our country has an Apple iPhone now, we buy our favorite products like Nike shoes, we wear all of our college apparel that has our insignia on it, our preferences and tastes, especially in America, (are) shaped by these global brands and where we even buy it,” said Christian. “All of these companies carry a lot of influence in bringing products to us, setting not only what the product is, but the standard in which the products are made.” Although a majority of retailers have a code of conduct to ensure that workers are being treated ethically, many companies self-monitor these outside firms to make sure that standards are being met.

Christian believes that much tension is created in a manufacturers’ attempt to balance implementing these codes of conduct while also meeting the financial pressures being placed upon them by the retailers themselves. She notes that there are certainly holes in the system. However, Naylor remains hopeful, advocating that raising awareness is key and bringing people together for “little victories” in organized actions. “I think that it’s a human rights issue that students have influence over, and I think that it’s a very important cause for (them) to care about,” Naylor said. Ultimately, Christain and Naylor acknowledge the power students have to truly make an impact on labor rights. “You have a lot of power at this point in your life as a voice,” said Christian. “As potentially making a difference on campus, and also as a generation.”

After working with specific groups of students for 13 years, Shivers sought a role which allowed her to oversee the entire student body. She was drawn to UT and became the assistant vice chancellor for student life. Last spring, Shivers became the associate vice chancellor of student life and dean of students. Shivers is currently working on new programs to make UT’s administrators and faculty more accessible to students. “I remember when I was in college, and we had a dean of students office – I thought that was like the principal of high school,” Shivers said, “And you never want to go to the principal’s office.” Singing along to the music at Volapalooza, attending Stomp at the Tennessee Theatre and sitting in the student section at football games has helped Shivers demystify her position and become a friendly face among students. “If we don’t know what’s happening on campus, it’s hard for us to be able to be an advocate for students,” Shivers said. “And the way to do that is to get out of this office and go out to where the students are.”

Consisting of an introduction to film class, two film production classes and three classes focusing on the art of studying film and its history, the program is meant to accommodate students who aspire to work in any area of the film industry, Maland said. According to the cinema studies website, students must complete 30 semester hours before graduation to fulfill the major. The creation of the program officially began three years ago, when Maland and Sam Swan, journalism and electronic media professor and director of internationalization and outreach in the College of Communication and Information, began collaborating to create the program. Their first step was to work with the College of Arts and Sciences to create a comprehensive curriculum. “It’s kind of complicated when you have different colleges conversing, it takes a lot of talking, a lot of thinking and a lot of cooperation among different programs,” Maland said. Just one year later came a proposal from the two collaborative colleges. After going through the various curricular channels and committees, the

major was finally able to make the books for this fall. Although students are asked to choose between two concentrations, film production or film history and aesthetics, the program is designed to give a balance of courses in each category. Students who are interested in only the history and criticisms of film will be required to take productions courses, while students interested in film making will be required to take history of film courses. As a new major, the number of students enrolled in the program remains low, but Maland is confident that it will continue to grow. “I would think that if we got to a point where we had at least 10 to 15 majors graduating a year, that would be a good size for us,” Maland said. Because the program is run through both the College of Journalism and Electronic Media as well as the College of Arts and Sciences, students will easily be able to double major in programs through each college. In fact, many of the courses on the list for the program are pulled directly from the College of Journalism and Electronic Media. “That might give students even more breadth as they think about what they might want to do for a living after they get done with their degree,” Maland said.

and workers rights actually takes away power from the hands of the people who it actually affects.” Assistant professor of sociology and specialist in labor right’s issues, Michelle Christian studied the ethics of Wal-Mart’s business practices during her graduate program at Duke University. Christian agrees that targeting revenues from a company such as WalMart would put jobs, both domestic and foreign, into jeopardy and that a ‘flight mentality’ is not the solution to the issues at hand. “If you boycott Wal-Mart, there’s still people that work at Wal-Mart, whose jobs are at Wal-Mart; people that want to buy food from Wal-Mart, and there’s all those people in the supply chain who are creating those products that are going into Wal-Mart...” she said. “All companies and institutions react to pressure to peoples’ own awareness.

ARTS & CULTURE They’ve got (mahogany) soul Black Cultural Center hosts performing arts event, boosts student expression Emma Evans

Contributor

Those who attended Tuesday night’s Mahogany Soul Café know that love, expression and soul are all that is needed to have a good time. Taking place in the Black Cultural Center’s multipurpose room once a month, the Mahogany Soul Café event series invites students to socialize, snack and watch a variety of acts performed by students. Performers expressed themselves through poetry, song, dance and rap. A’jia Johnson, sophomore in mathematics, said the performances were enlightening. “It’s always cool to see people perform an unexpected talent and show a hidden part of themselves,” Johnson said. “People really come out of their shell here.” In fact, when a performer got flustered or nervous, the crowd was encouraged to shout “Go on with ya bad self” to show their encouragement for the performer. Audience members would often sing and dance along with the performers as well. Asia Jones, sophomore in English, thinks the sense of community is what made this event so special. “Mahogany Soul Café is so inspirational because it’s more personal than a lot of other events that one could go to,” Jones said. “It’s like we’re a family when we’re here.” Aeriel Stephens, sophomore in Spanish, agrees the opportunity to speak one’s mind on stage displayed the freedom of expression the Mahogany Soul Café represents. “People performed on stage and weren’t judged for what they said or did,” Stephen said. “It was really open.” Tackling topics like relationships, adversity and feminism, the performances resonated with Tiffany Donner, senior in English. “It’s really cool to see how these performers use their talent to be relevant to common culture,” Donner said. “It’s what makes this event

Corey Hodge, one of the event’s coordinators and performers, has seen a consistent increase in both audience attendance and student participation in his time working on the event. Nearly 20 performers came to Hodge on Tuesday to express their interest in

performing as early as three to four weeks in advance. With the interest shown, many of the coordinators who also perform sacrificed their performance time to allow others a chance on stage. “Being that all the coordinators love performing, sacrificing our spots to perform was a bitter sweet decision,” Hodge said. “Bitter being that we are each awesome poets, artists with a plethora of things to say, but sweet because we saw the results from being responsible for helping provide the confidence our audience, participants to perform, constructing

an environment of support and continuing to not only meet, but set higher expectations after each Mahogany Soul.” Mahogany Soul Café serves as a place for students to communicate their emotions and feelings with each other in an inclusive atmosphere, qualities which have made it so beloved to its performers and attendees. “This event gave people a chance to say what they can’t say to other people,” Jones said. “That’s what Mahogany Soul Café is about.”

Online publication serves as outlet for human emotion Contributor

Throughout the centuries, poetry has remained a unique outlet for human emotion. It has survived war, famine and political unrest, and now, thanks to Sundress Publications, it will also survive the digital era. In 1999, Erin Smith, a lecturer in poetry, brought poetry to the Internet by starting her own literary journal, “Stirring.” After purchasing web space, she decided to host other online journals, allowing the publications to promote each other and avoid printing costs. However, not long after the inception of “Stirring,” Smith noticed a distinct lack of recognition for poetry published online. “None of the best of those ‘Best of the Year’ anthologies, like ‘Best American Poetry,’ had anything on online publishing,” Smith said, “I decided I wanted to do something about it.” Smith then started the “Best of the Net,” an anthology celebrating the best work published in online journals. The anthology, which is published online, is now celebrating its eighth year. “We’ve had some amazing people come through,” Smith

said. “We’re really excited about it.” Both “Stirring” and “Best of the Net” fall under the larger group, called Sundress Publications. While the group does publish print books, it primarily focuses on online publishing. Under its umbrella is a group of journals, the “Sundress Academy for the Arts” and two imprints. T.A. Noonan, a new lecturer at UT this year, joined the Sundress Publications staff

on board, including Andrew Koch, an alumnus of UT. Koch first heard of the publication group as a student in Smith’s poetry class. Since graduating, he has worked as an editor and will become the head editor of “Stirring” in October. Koch points out that Sundress Publications is about more than publishing poetry. “One of the cool things about the publications that they have under their umbrella is that it’s women oriented,” Koch said. “They have always made a specific effort to be more inclusive to the female voice.” The group also works to help other minority groups express themselves through the arts. Last year, the Sundress Academy for the Arts, a branch of Sundress -T.A. Noonan Publications, hosted a workshop titled “Outspoken” where in September 2011 and runs those identified with the one of the imprints. LGBTQ community were “I had previously been, invited to work together on and still am, an author with projects they were already them,” Noonan said. “After working on, whether it be a my book came out, I was play, poem or a sketch. talking to Erin a lot about Since no employee is paid, formatting books and things all the proceeds from their like that.

“It’s a labor of love. We do it because we love it.” Smith encourages those who find publishing out of reach or nerve-wracking to take the step to share their work. “Don’t hide your stories and poems under your bed,” she said. “Bring them into the world. We write to be heard.”

SULFARO continued from Page 1 After taking a year’s worth of classes in that direction, he decided he wouldn’t be happy in the field and switched to the School of Art. “When it comes down to it, I’d rather be rich making art than be rich doing chemistry,” Sulfaro said. “It’s more like a high risk, high reward and that intrigues me about it.” Finally where he belongs, Sulfaro has taken steps to get his name out to the art world -- first with a solo art show in Nashville last summer and now a joint venture at Gallery 1010. Sulfaro will show 2-D paintings and drawings beside his friend Asafe Pereira’s photographs at the gallery for the September First Friday. The two had previously entertained the idea of presenting an art show together and made the idea a reality for next weekend’s event after applying to show in the space. While Sulfaro and Pereira both admire each other’s work, neither is sure why. One paints and the other photographs, two seemingly different mediums of art. However, they became friends through their contrasting works and turned the juxtaposition into a joint art show on their feelings about “being transplants to the South” explained Sulfaro. “He’s from Brazil and moved to Nashville when he was 8 or 9,” Sulfaro said. “I’m from California, and I moved here when I was younger too.

So, we’ve both kind of grown up in the South, but we’re not raised by Southerners. “We’ve kind of just watched this culture that is actually foreign to him, still feel kind of foreign to me.” After the gallery, Sulfaro will begin more work with his newest area of interest: 4-D art. He’s been helping a former School of Art professor make a short film. While he considers drawing his foundation, he is interested in how short films and performances can open up more possibilities on the Internet. He currently experiments with designing short clips similar to those found on the Vine app and seeks to take an art medium the audience is used to and “subvert their expectations in ways to give them something to think about or laugh at or just dwell on.” While he still has a year and a half left at UT, Sulfaro is already considering plans to move to Los Angeles or New York City following his graduation. Still unsure of what he expects to do when he gets there, his primary goal is to simply get his art out to whoever and wherever he can. “Yeah, it’s a little more terrifying than if I were a business major or something like that, but that doesn’t seem like a very interesting way to lead a life,” Sulfaro said. “I don’t think I would be happy doing that. Yeah, it’s intimidating, but I don’t see the point. You only get one shot at it, you know? I’d rather just live doing what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

How to make people like you more Stained and Confused by Alexandra Chiasson

After The Daily Beacon published the first installment of “Stained and Confused” last Thursday, I received numerous favorable reviews from people who are obligated to be nice to me. As you can imagine, this has inflated my ego a bit. (Since today marks Stained and Confused’s one-week anniversary, and I’m just generally self-satisfied, I have decided to dedicate my second column piece to all of my fans.) However, the advent of my column writing journey was not entirely auspicious. In addition to being told by the people in charge I need to be nicer on social media (Read: I can’t publically criticize The Daily Beacon and its associates anymore), it was also very politely hinted my last column piece was deficient of a concrete thesis, and tentatively suggested I lack some direction in selecting appropriate column topics. Although I believe I sufficiently responded to many of these concerns with insight into my plans for Stained and Confused, I decided to spend today’s column discussing my opinion on two timely issues, just for good measure. “@vols.utk.edu” In what I assume is a sly plot to induce carpal tunnel in the entire student body, the University has recently lengthened our email addresses to include four extra letters and a punctuation mark. This presents several inconveniences I am struggling to tolerate without making a large stink. First of all, the new email domain sounds terribly unprofessional. What the hell is a “vol”? I can already hear the sound of my resume, emblazoned with that email address along the top, being tossed in the garbage by some douche in a suit. Additionally, I can no longer use any of the email aliases I’ve picked out for myself throughout my time at UT. The convenient yet elegant “alexandra@utk.edu” must be put to rest, along with the more naughty “sexgoddess@utk.edu” I usually reserve for InVOLvement Fair trolling. In short, I give this particular University policy two thumbs down, which is charitable, I think. The Emmys I don’t have much to say about award shows on television, mostly because I rarely watch them. However, I’ve noticed my peers tend to care about these things (because pretty people?), so I figured it makes sense for an opinions writer, like myself, to make an insightful comment. It appears to me a lot of celebrities don’t really want to be doing it, and most of the non-famouses on the other side of the screen don’t really want to be watching it. Wouldn’t it be nice to give these people a break for a night? What if all the TV stars could wear their pajamas and smoke a joint in their Cali mansions like they want to and just Skype in for each nomination they get, rather than getting all fancied up to see the same shows win every year? I think a completely virtual awards show, coordinated via webcams, would get outstanding ratings. I mean, we all love to watch celebrities doing normal people things. And don’t we all want to see what Jon Hamm and his bulge wear to bed? To conclude, I would like to share my opinion on one more thing. Sometimes, not sharing your opinion is like having an opinion in a meta kind of way. Sometimes it’s better to avoid voting altogether, rather than join in on the true American facade of democracy and waste precious time in long lines at the polls. Sometimes keeping your mouth shut makes people like you more. Critical thinking is uncomfortable and difficult, and frankly I’m not a huge fan of know-it-alls. And now, some parting advice: actually, maybe I’ll just keep it to myself. Alexandra Chiasson is a senior in English. She can be reached at achiasso@vol.utk.edu.

Communities form by standing together Seven Doctors Say

by Jonathan Burkhalter What is a community, and why is it worth our valuable time? It’s a vague and sometimes confusing word, after all. Knoxville is a community, and regardless where you’re from, you are part of it during your stay at the University of Tennessee. UT, in fact, is another community unto itself. Simultaneously, Fort Sanders is a community, just like other pockets of Knoxville such as South Knox, West Knox, among others. Simply put, “your community” could mean many different things. It could be all of Knoxville, campus, the Fort or even your hometown. However, we will say that phrase entails whatever you like. It doesn’t matter which you choose, so long as you know what’s happening in your community. The decisions and actions made by your community affect you.

Yet, there is room for improvement (and not just fixing potholes on Kingston Pike). Our citizens are disconnected from one another, and, even worse, not concerned for each other. The same could be said for the student body. When the mentality of “I” that consumerist America drives into our heads also sinks into our homes and surroundings, we become vulnerable. Prejudices and stereotypes can destroy the fabric of a community, rendering us disconnected threads of a city. There isn’t always a dire pressing matter to stand for. But if there were, would it ever leave a Facebook newsfeed or change.org petition? Would we be willing to march down Gay Street? If we stand together, we can weave those threads into a socially and economically better city– from small things like borrowing sugar to larger projects like urban agriculture and revamping downtown. Through steps of equality and initiative, we can begin stitching this city together. Jonathan Burkhalter is a senior in history. He can be reached at jburkhal@vols.utk.edu.

College is harder with a Princess Complex Inside and Out by

Katie Grugin There is an inner conflict that runs rampant on college campuses. It comes up in the back of almost every co-ed’s mind (or at least mine) during stressful moments like exam week or move-in day. It says, “I really want to be successful and influential in a field that is only now beginning to move away from tailoring to the needs of aristocratic white men. I really want to receive equal pay for equal work and reach my professional potential. I also want to be respected for my competence and character. But I also really, really want to be a princess.” This desire to be treated like a princess is commonly known as a “Princess Complex.” Of course, not every young woman wants to be the same kind of princess. Some might even take offense at the suggestion of such a complex. Whether you consider yourself liberated from traditional gender roles or not, Disney’s marketing department is undeniably good at encouraging this complex. Today, there are many re-imagined variations of the ideal princess. Just take a stroll down

Pinterest lane and you will discover hipster princesses, goth princesses, steam-punk princesses, anime princesses and even androgynous princesses. Every ethnicity, every shape and every age is represented. I am pretty positive I saw a feminist princess at one point, for the very feminine feminist. The princess fad among adult college students is not bad. However, there remains the fact that most traditional princess tales involve a prince coming to her rescue during times of intense stress. And this is not a healthy precedent to set. I know I would appreciate having someone rescue me when reading assignments pile up or when I can barely afford to pay a parking ticket, despite working too many hours at my job or when someone is mean to me. If I wanted to, I could ignore the reality of adulthood– I have a father willing to perpetuate my princess complex for me. Because of him, I will forever believe that ice cream is the solution to any problem. But sadly, this is not true. I am an adult, and it is my responsibility to deal with my problems. This issue bleeds over into other areas of my life, including relationships, friendships and classes. Demanding to be treated respectfully because of gender is just as unfair as being treated disrespectfully because of

gender. Women, particularly young ambitious college students, can manipulate the very system they feel disrespected by. I still dress well on test days because I am convinced my male professors will remember my name better if I say intelligent thoughts while wearing lip gloss. I once had a professor stop me a week after I took a test to tell me that I looked nice that day. Was it creepy? No. Was it a little inappropriate? Probably. Was I flattered in spite of myself? Unfortunately, yes. It is much easier to use my appearance to earn grades without having to push myself. It is easier to expect someone to rescue me than it is to accept personal responsibility. But I can get my own A’s, buy my own dinner and nail an interview, whether I try to look pretty or not. I am perfectly capable of dealing with just about every challenge on my own. I don’t want to perpetuate an emotionally unhealthy princess complex where I’m constantly expecting the men in my life to rescue me. I hope there is a re-imagined Disney Princess for that.

Every action you take has consequential actions that spread around you, like throwing stones in a pond and watching the ripples disperse to the edges of the water. This community is larger than just you and I. And if 27,000 diverse student and faculty minds worked in combination, we could make this community a better place to live for everyone. Throughout history, communities that have stood together for causes they considered worthwhile have almost always come out on top. The key to a healthy community lies in common interests and concern for one another. This doesn’t mean you have to send care packages to all of your neighbors. But their opinions should be included along with everyone else’s beliefs when making decisions about what is good for the community. Right now, Knoxville is a good community. It’s a safe and friendly place to live, the cost of living is low, and it’s a good-looking city.

JAZZ continued from Page 1 Jazz musician Jason Thompson, is friends with the Marble City 5 and said he looks forward to the series each year. Thompson went to high school with three of the five members and is a trumpet player himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best place to hear jazz in Knoxville,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the best of the best up there. To be able to come out here and hang out on the patio, have a glass of wine and hear that caliber of jazz for free is - well, I just got back from New York City, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. You pay $30 cover for seating for a show like that in New York.â&#x20AC;? UT students Daniel Ryan, sophomore in jazz, and John Dooley, sophomore in chemical engineering and jazz, were a few of the younger audience members to attend the jazz concert and watch Tardy, their jazz professor, perform with the Marble City 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vance is just killer,â&#x20AC;? Dooley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the head of the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra, so he can just put some crazy ensembles together. Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a world-class saxophone player. The piano player, Keith Brown, is incredible. I mean, why would you not be here?â&#x20AC;? With this being the last of the series this summer, Ryan said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have missed it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it feels really good out here,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. The Marble City 5 received constant praise throughout the night as the band played nearly non-stop only occasionally stopping to crack a few jokes or to take a brief intermission before returning to perform. Market Square remained packed until the concertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end at 10 p.m. Then, the crowd showed their appreciation with an applause â&#x20AC;˘ Photo courtesy of Katie Truppo then packed up their belongings.

Heralded freshman ‘excited’ to contribute immediately to UT Taylor White

Staff Writer

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 For Barnett, the opportunity to wear the orange and white will bring about exhilarating experiences before he even gets in-between the lines. Throughout the week his older teammates, such as Williams and Curt Maggitt, have offered words of encouragement and excitement. “It’s going to hit them all so fast,” Williams said of the

younger players getting to play for the first time. “They are going to be walking down the Vol Walk and that will be shocking to them. Running out of the ‘T’ will be something else as well. It’s going to become real for them fast. They have to just trust in their training.” At this time a year ago, Barnett still had yet to decide where he would be playing college football, and now the 18-year-old will be the first true freshman to ever start up

front on the defensive line for the Vols. He is happy with his decision to come play for Tennessee over the other 16 major Division-I programs that wanted him. “I’ve changed a lot since this time last year,” Barnett said. “Through the spring and training camp, I’ve gotten a lot better as a players and have improved on the little things. I picked the right school to come to.”

Tennessee coach Butch Jones introduced 32 new players to the program this year, and from the very first snap of Sunday’s contest against Utah State, UT fans will have an opportunity to see them in action. These fresh faces have given the Vols much needed depth going into the 2014 season, and many of them will be asked to play central roles in the opener against the Aggies. “We’re going to be playing upwards to 28 true freshmen Sunday night,” Jones said. “And that’s true freshmen, individuals who have just concluded their first week and a half of school. They’re also very talented, and they’re excited, so I’m looking forward to seeing how they perform.” Playing in Neyland Stadium for the first time will be an exciting experience for these young players, as it once was for redshirt junior Curt Maggitt. Still, keeping emotions in check will remain essential. “I know the first time I ran through the ‘T,’ I got all excited and you get nervous,” Maggit said. “But that first lineup, you just kind of tune everything out and you focus on what’s in front of you, and that’s what I’m going to encourage the young guys to do. Just focus and play fast.” After arriving on campus in January, highly-touted running back Jalen Hurd is expected to play a large role in Tennessee’s offense this season. After seven months, the freshman from Hendersonville, Tenn. is ready to suit up and hit the field. “Just (feeling) excitement,” Hurd said. “Being able to finally get to this place, not looking at the screen in the team room saying 150 days, it’s just four or five days now, so it’s game time and I am just so excited. You always get a little nerves, but that nervousness is just excitement, excitement to play the game and be out there with my team. Containing Keeton: While the University of Tennessee football team will face many prolific quarterbacks throughout a brutal 2014 schedule, their biggest challenge may come in their opening game Sunday night. Utah State senior quarterback Chuckie Keeton was one of the nation’s most electrifying

players last year, until a knee injury forced him to miss the last eight games of his junior season, and the Volunteers are preparing for the difficult task of slowing down the Aggie signal caller. “It’s going to be a great challenge,” head coach Butch Jones said. “He’s one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country, and he will play on Sundays. Everything is about impacting and containing the quarterback.” In only six games last season, Keeton threw for almost 1,400 yards and ran for 241 more, while scoring 20 total touchdowns for the Aggies. Over the past few seasons, the Vols’ defensive line has struggled to contain mobile quarterbacks, but an influx of talent from the much anticipated 2014 recruiting class may have Tennessee better prepared for the challenge. UT is also faced with the task of replacing all four starters from last year’s defensive line, but they are hoping to make up

for lack of experience with their improved athleticism. “We got a lot of speed on the defensive line now,” senior defensive tackle Jordan Williams said. “Myself, (Danny) O’Brien, (Derek) Barnett coming in with fresh legs, and we got (Corey) Vereen. We’re gonna be on him man.” Student section sellout: Jones opened his Wednesday press conference by commending the UT student body, for selling out its allotment of tickets for UT’s season opener. After being criticized last year for poor attendance, the UT students have responded well so far this year, and that has not gone unnoticed by the players and coaches. “First of all, I’d like to start off saying thank you to our student body.” Jones said. “All the student tickets are sold out for Utah State. We talk about being ‘One Tennessee,’ and when most places’ student ticket sales are down, at Tennessee we’re selling out our student section.”

VOLLEYBALL

Lady Vol ‘aberration’ provides benefits for upcoming season Wes Tripp

Staff Writer It is no secret the Tennessee women’s volleyball team had a rough 2013 season. Last year, the squad finished, 9-23, overall and secured victory in only one of their 17 SEC matches. After six players left the program following the 2012 season, last year’s team was forced to rely on young players in frequently unfamiliar positions. “The season was what it was,” head coach Rob Patrick said. “It wasn’t a true indication of our program. It was an aberration.” Patrick, however, was quick to point out the benefits of last year’s disappointing season. The team now has young players who have a full season’s experience under their belt. “You know, I’m a glass half full guy,” he said. “I’m sitting here saying, ‘gosh, we have all these young players that have 30 matches under their belt that maybe they wouldn’t have had that before.’ You can’t replace that.” The team will still be young, adding eight new players to the roster — six freshmen and two transfers. The lone senior and one of three upperclassmen on the

team, Shealyn Kolosky, is ready to lead the team to winning matches. “We’ve definitely been working really hard and just coming together more as a team,” the middle back from Wheaton, Illinois, said. “(The upperclassmen) have done a really good job of making sure that people are involved and know what’s going on. A lot of us are just trying to lead by example and being really vocal leaders this year.” Patrick, a 17th-year head coach, is proud of how his returning players have competed in practice, as they look to rebound this season. “Our returners have worked their tails off,” Patrick said. “They knew what type of year we had and they knew that’s not Tennessee volleyball and that isn’t why they came to Tennessee. I’ve been really happy, excited and proud about how those returners have worked. They just want to build this program back to where it deserves to be.” The eight new players have been able to add to and enhance the team’s depth. “The freshmen have come in and have provided a huge amount of depth where we can now play and make changes,” Patrick said. “We can have a person that is injured or have a

person that is not playing well. We can put another person in and our team doesn’t change very much. It’s real exciting to see that.” A starting lineup and rotation for the Lady Vols has yet to be determined and will probably be an ever-changing process throughout the year. “What’s great about this team now is there’s a lot of competition for every spot,” Patrick said. “Every position has competition and it’s really made our team better.” The team plays their first matches this weekend at the Appalachian Invitational in Boone, North Carolina. Over three days, the Lady Vols will play Tennessee Tech, Cleveland State and Appalachian State. “We’re going to have to play,” Patrick said. “They’re not going to give us points. Those are the toughest teams to play. It’s easy to play a team that gives you points, but these are teams that are well coached, organized, play great defense and they don’t give you any points. “So we have to really play consistently at a certain level to be successful and that’s our challenge. That’s something we didn’t do last year.” Tennessee’s first home match will be against Austin Peay inside Thompson Boling Arena Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.
