Students meet employers at cookout David Cobb Assistant News Editor

Sarah O’Leary • The Daily Beacon

Students stop near Dunford Hall for the 6th annual kick-off cookout event sponsored by Career Services Thursday.

If you were on campus around lunchtime yesterday and didn’t eat for free, then you missed out. UT’s Career Services hosted its sixth annual cookout on Thursday, grilling enough hotdogs and hamburgers to feed between 1,500 and 1,700 people, while hoping to provide more than just a lunch. Career Services representative Mary Mahoney said that the goal of the cookout is to raise awareness about the assistance that Career Services can provide to students of all ages. “This is our sixth year doing it,” Mahoney said. “And the idea when we started it was just to do something to kind of say thank you to students and say ‘hey, we’re here. This is career services. We want you to see where we’re located, we can help you.’ ” She said that an event like Thursday’s

will increase traffic through Career Services, but that it’s still a resource which students underutilize. “We really wish we had more students come in to make appointments with us, come to the workshops and come to our job fairs,” said Mahoney. The first on-campus job fair of the 20122013 year, the Greater Knoxville Job Fair, will be Thursday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom, but even Thursday’s cookout provided students with an opportunity to meet with potential employers. “Corporate sponsors get involved and help underwrite the cost,” Mahoney said. “And they’re all employers that hire UT students. So we kind of did it just to reach out to the students, but again to make students, staff, and faculty aware that Career Services is here and something can really help students find a job.” See CAREER SERVICES on Page 3

Market offers healthy options Victoria Knight Contributor Buying fresh food doesn’t have to be a hike for students. Held every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the UT Gardens by the UT Veterinary College of Medicine, the UT Farmers Market features a wide variety of local businesses and farms who are dedicated to bringing the freshest and most wholesome products possible to the UT community. Fiona McAnally, the market’s manager, said there is always a wide variety of food depending on whatever produce is in season at the time. “The things available here are healthy options that students can pick

up and bring back to their dorms to eat,” she said. Items that are currently in season include squash, tomato and watermelons, while pumpkins are soon to follow. Students can find most products found in a grocery store, with almost all of the products locally and organically grown or made, said McAnally. One company, Greater Growth Aquaponics, sells leafy salad greens that have been watered with filtered water previously used to raise tilapia at the market. Mountain Meadows Farm boasted 11 different types of tomatoes, each with a different name such as “Orange Blossom” and “Rocky Top” to symbolize the varying colors. Moondog Medicinals, a traditional

herbal remedies vendor, provides natural healing products and special blended teas. Holly Hayworth, the company owner, said she utilizes medicinal properties of plants to make her remedies. “People have been healing themselves naturally for thousands of years and it’s a skill I want to bring back and share with others,” Hayworth said. Sevier Blumen, a florist vendor from Sevierville, offers beautiful justcut-this-morning bouquets of zinnias, sunflowers, comphrena and tuberose, to name a few. Robin Yeary, UT alumni and business owner, said even his flowers have a sustainable component. Chris Elizer • The Daily Beacon

The Walk provides chance to worship David Cobb Assistant News Editor

Students gather to learn more about CPC during an interest meeting held in the UC Wednesday evening.

Members of the Knoxville community visit local vendors for fresh produce at the UT Farmers Market at the UT Gardens on Wednesday .

According to Tim Miller, The Walk began in 2004 with a typical turnout of 40 to 50 college students. Less than a decade later, the event has grown so large that this year’s inaugural rendition of the weekly contemporary Christian worship service could hardly be contained by the amphitheater at World’s Fair Park — even in the midst of a rain shower. UT sophomore basketball standout Jarnell Stokes was among the estimated 1,000 college students coming from as far as Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City who converged on downtown Knoxville on Wednesday to enjoy free barbeque and take part in the event. “There’s just nothing else like The Walk to me,” said CarsonNewman student Amanda Kidd. “It’s just so upbeat and everything is totally different here than it is in a typical church.” Kidd said that around 50 students from her school travel nearly an hour each Wednesday to attend the service that is typically

held at Sevier Heights Baptist Church weekly during the academic year. Though the event draws attendees from many colleges, UT students may have noticed concentrated promotional efforts by The Walk in recent days, such as the distribution of t-shirts and ice cream across campus. Miller is the teaching pastor at Sevier Heights and lead speaker at The Walk. He said that the promotions are part of a bigger picture than simply filling seats. “We just know it’s important to get the word out,” Miller said. “And we have to use whatever method and means possible. Sometimes we use Twitter, Facebook, t-shirts, but we’re not doing it so that we can get more numbers as much, ... it’s that we understand that numbers represent names and each name matters.” Miller credited his church with being generous in allotting funds for the ministry to expand and engage college students through related means, such as providing food each week for those who attend. “We do all that we can to get

the word out so that people can come and experience The Walk,” Miller said. “And in so doing, hopefully see the personality and purpose of Jesus. So that’s why we do just whatever it takes to get them there, and then when they come our goal is to teach them Jesus.” Though The Walk may not vary from other Christian services in the core of its message, Tyler Quisenberry, who is a part of the group that attends from CarsonNewman, said it differs from other churches in the way it delivers that message. “You don’t get to experience stuff like that every day,” Quisenberry said. “It’s tough to find a place for a bunch of college kids to gather and worship with that style of worship. “It’s not just sitting in a sanctuary with older people,” Quisenberry said. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But it’s being around kids your age and being in an atmosphere where (you know) people want to be there.” More information on The Walk is available at www.insidethewalk.com

30 B.C – Cleopatra commits suicide Cleopatra, queen of Egypt and lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, takes her life following the

defeat of her forces against Octavian, the future first emperor of Rome. Cleopatra, born in 69 B.C., was made Cleopatra VII, queen of Egypt, upon the death of her father, Ptolemy XII, in 51 B.C. Her brother was made King Ptolemy XIII at the same time, and the siblings ruled Egypt under

the formal title of husband and wife. Cleopatra and Ptolemy were members of the Macedonian dynasty that governed Egypt since the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. Although Cleopatra had no Egyptian blood, she alone in her ruling house learned Egyptian. To further her influence over the

Egyptian people, she was also proclaimed the daughter of Re, the Egyptian sun god. Cleopatra soon fell into dispute with her brother, and civil war erupted in 48 B.C. Rome, the greatest power in the Western world, was also beset by civil war at the time. Just as Cleopatra was preparing to attack her brother with a large Arab army, the Roman civil war spilled into Egypt. Pompey the Great, defeated by Julius Caesar in Greece, fled to Egypt seeking solace but was immediately murdered by agents of Ptolemy XIII. Caesar arrived in Alexandria soon after and, finding his enemy dead, decided to restore order in Egypt. During the preceding century, Rome had exercised increasing control over the rich Egyptian kingdom, and Cleopatra sought to advance her political aims by winning the favor of Caesar. She traveled to the royal palace in Alexandria and was allegedly carried to Caesar rolled in a rug, which was offered as a gift. Cleopatra, beautiful and alluring, captivated the powerful Roman leader, and he agreed to intercede in the Egyptian civil war on her behalf. Upon Caesar's triumphant return to Rome, Cleopatra and Caesarion joined him there. Under the auspices of negotiating a treaty with Rome, Cleopatra lived discretely in a villa that Caesar owned outside the capital. After Caesar was assassinated in March 44 B.C., she returned to Egypt. Soon after, Ptolemy XIV died, likely poisoned by Cleopatra, and the queen made her son co-ruler with her as Ptolemy XV Caesar. — This Day in History is provided by History.com.

Other regular vendors at the Market include VG’s bakery, Sherie’s Garden Style Salsa, JEM Farm, Granola Naturals, Grassy Creek Soap, Hammer Produce, Viet Grill, Lakeview Farm, Clear Springs Farm, UT Beef, UT Honey and Cruze Dairy Farms. In addition to local businesses, different information booths are present each week to give out free items and information. This week’s featured UT’s Outdoor Program, who handed out info about activities and rentals, and UT Medical Center’s Preston Medical Library, who had people on hand to ask questions and talk about their resources. Students can also participate in weekly drawings. Prizes are three $25 gift cards to the Three Rivers Market Food Coop, located in North Knoxville. Amy Schweig, senior in political science, and her dog Cooper left as two very satisfied customers. “This is my very first time coming to the market and I am very impressed,” Schweig said. “My friend Ian told me about it and I’m excited to come next week!”

continued from Page 1 Target and Enterprise Rent-A-Car were among a handful of companies with representatives on hand to speak with UT students. “It opens up students to some career options, and that’s really what we’re here for,” said Enterprise representative Glen Speer. “This one is a more informal, trying to get our name out there event, but we also do the more formal ones just to kind of let them

know what an Enterprise career is.” Mahoney said she hopes students will attend Career Services’ largest job fair to be held September 25 in Thompson-Boling Arena. Mahoney said the annual event usually draws between 150 and 170 corporations looking to engage UT students. Past job fairs have seen a variety of organizatons in attendance, from accounting firms and theme parks to U.S. Army recruiters. Career Services is located in Dunford Hall and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Going

Somewhere... Hopefully Obama uses Reddit to boost likability Preston Peeden Associate Editor President Barack Obama got on Reddit for a 30 minute Ask Me Anything session and he broke the Internet. Well, to be honest, Obama didn’t break the Internet, but his invitation did create such a stun that the site was temporarily unavailable due to traffic. Our current commander-in-chief took a half hour out of his day to answer questions ranging from the future of space exploration to the recipe for the White House’s signature beer, and (my personal favorite) the color of his toothbrush. I’m not a Reddit person, so the day-to-day activities of the site are usually far back in the periphery of my focus, but I couldn’t help but be intrigued by Obama’s decision to open up like this. In a way, it was history in the making. For probably the first time ever, Americans had the same opportunity to get in direct contact with the head of their government. You didn’t need to be a congressman, a senator, a lobbyist or even a lucky tourist in D.C.; all that was required was the Internet and a question. For many, this development means little to nothing, and why should it? Obama’s jump to Reddit could be construed as just another ploy made to irk out as many votes as possible as he attempts to repositioning himself as the “hip” candidate against the GOP’s Frankensteinily stiff Mitt Romney. And in a way he is. Obama has grabbed the attention of CNN, FOX, The Washington Post and The New York Times. If someone looked back at Wednesday night’s headlines, they might not even know that the GOP’s convention was Tuesday and that Louisiana was in the midst of having a hurricane bombard it once more. He changed the momentum

of the news cycle, and all he had to do was post a reference to the “Not Bad Obama” meme. Obama has upped the ante on a growing historical trend. Ever since the turn of the century, successive commanders-in-chief have steadily made themselves more and more accessible to the populace they govern. This movement gained momentum with F.D.R. and his fireside chats, picked up even more steam with John F. Kennedy’s decision to debate Nixon on TV, and seemingly reached its peak with Clinton playing the saxophone on “The Arsenio Hall Show.” But Obama has now outdone them all. He’s literally made himself available to everyone, and all he had to do was to get on the Internet’s ultimate time drain for the same amount of time it takes me to watch a rerun of “Global Guts.” To be honest, I am conflicted on the president’s actions. On one hand, I can’t help but admire what Obama has done. By opening himself up like this, he has made himself accountable and accessible to the people like no other president before him. He is bucking the trend of the “stuffy, pretentious, high literaturereading speech givers” that our presidents have come to be typified as; he is (for at least one day) a man of the people. While I do admire his accessibility, I can’t help but feel uneasy about his approach. What makes this any different from Mitt Romney’s wife’s humanizing speech about her husband? In both cases, the means can be construed as manipulative and the end goal selfinterested. Both want to win this election, and both will do what it takes to secure that office. Ultimately, this whole debate hinges on the preeminence of likability in our political selection process. Like it or not, our leaders are usually selected because they’re affable. Clinton was, Bush was, Obama is and Romney wants to be (why else choose Ryan?). Obama allowed himself to connect with the people in a historic way on Wednesday, but his motivations for doing so are unclear to me. I don’t know if he truly wants to be the people’s president, or if he is just trying to be president. But by getting on Reddit, he took a step forward in both directions. — Preston Peeden is a senior in history. He can be reached at ppeeden@utk.edu.

Memorials combine emotion with fact C ommitee o f I n f ra ct i o n s by

Sarah Russell

Americans love to commemorate events of the past. We have a multitude of national holidays set aside for various presidents’ birthdays, we dedicate entire months to celebrating historical movements, and we have no shortage of exhibits and attractions in remembrance of events or individuals. Take the 100th birthday of the Titanic this year — aside from the permanent and popular attraction in Pigeon Forge, museums across the country featured interactive exhibits where visitors played the part of a historical person on the ship, finding out at the end of the exhibit if their character lived or died. These exhibits were designed to add a level of personal connection to the commemorative event, to make it more than mere historical fact, and to emphasize the need to remember the Titanic. But the question raised about such exhibits is a question of appropriateness. Does the adoption of a character turn the commemoration into more of a game than a somber remembrance of those who died? Is it right for us to claim that we feel what they felt? These are questions of the politics of memory, questions that debate how and why we should commemorate certain events and who should do the commemorating. And the difficulty of memory politics is that it is almost impossible to please everyone who has a vested interest in the event being celebrated or remembered. America is not the only country facing these challenges. Germany and Poland along with other parts of Eastern Europe have perhaps a heavier task at hand when they seek to honor and remember those who died in the Holocaust almost 75 years ago. There has always been a significant

amount of debate over Holocaust commemorations in these countries: whether the German government should sponsor a memorial, whether Christians should establish a museum, or whether emphasizing an emotional and visceral response to the tragedy is more appropriate than simply presenting the facts. As with the Titanic exhibits, the question is not about the need to remember the Holocaust, for no one would deny the importance of keeping those who died alive in public memory. The question is about finding an appropriate way of doing so. Of all the places I have visited that are dedicated to the remembrance of the Holocaust, the most effective was my visit to Auschwitz this summer. There are no contrived games to play, no issues of sponsorship, no undermining of fact or emotion in favor of the other. In fact, Auschwitz achieves a remarkable, and extremely powerful, blend of fact and feeling. You are at once assaulted with the vast statistics of death and the visual evidence of that death as you enter rooms filled to the brim with victims’ suitcases and shoes. There is no time or space in the mind of the visitor to contemplate the philosophical issues of memory politics. There is only the memory, and that memory stays with you long after you leave. This issue is one that we should keep in mind at UT as we plan events, celebrations, and exhibits in commemoration of various events or people. There is a fine line between trivializing the issue by emphasizing the human aspect over the facts and vice versa. A balance of statistics and emotions is perhaps the least controversial and most effective way to remember those worth remembering. It is my hope for this year that our various student committees dedicated to discussing issues on campus will remember that it is not about the spectacle but about the topic at hand, and that effective communication and commemoration relies above all on an appropriate presentation. — Sarah Russell is a senior in history.

America’s K-12 public school system, as a whole, has long been an embarrassment, especially when compared with other countries. The problem has been worse in some states more than others. But in perhaps the most heterogeneous country in the world, what can we take away from that assessment? Choice! That’s the silver lining to this broad diagnosis of being an under-educated, sheltered county. What we have is choice, with all the top programs in every field in different quality vs. price flavors. It’s a luck-of-the-draw depending on where you are. And if you can pay for it. What we also have is chaos, the kind of chaos that can only be readily alleviated with uncommon amounts of cash, the kind of cash that makes decisions for you that you can only be born into! We also have the highest income inequality of any developed nation, equaling and rivaling some of the under-developed ones, spread across one of the highest populations across the broadest distance. If you have the cash to move around, you better hope the district or private school you choose isn’t educationally backwards or just a rich kid club, and actually cares about education, because there isn’t much of a correlation between price and quality. All the rating systems are managed by private, external third parties. Oak Ridge High puts every school in Knox County to shame, regardless of how much you’re shelling out. How is that fair? Alleged equality under the law is all good and well when that’s kind of a new thing, but now it’s time to stop over-generalizing that historical checkpoint as if it were still relevant. It’s probably time for us to stop ignoring the very real factors that make America so actually unequal. School, which a large percent of

America’s offspring spends most of the first 18-24 years of their lives doing, is arguably the most important one. It’s too important to allow some notion of “competition” to mysteriously fill in the hideously wide gaps that too many of our countrymen fall through. Finland was recently identified as having the top national school system in the world in a study testing the actual academic skills of 15 year olds in the usual math, science, and reading, and it still remains among the top three or so. Finland doesn’t have any private or for-profit academic institutions; all the data collected was from the students of its public schools. Even independent schools aren’t allowed to ever charge tuition. They also work less and play more for it. Finland’s K-12 schools assign decidedly less homework than other nations, relying more on “creative play”; learning is more interactive, and many different learning styles are employed. What’s more, the criterion are far less structured than what is found elsewhere, meaning that it’s up to Finland’s teachers to individually evaluate the needs and progress of every student. How is that accomplished? There are more teachers per student, and they get paid a bit closer to tenured university folk than our teachers here. They go through a lot more training, and usually need a masters degree or higher in their field — yeah, just to teach drooling first graders. There’s the competition for you. Instead of subjecting their children to chaotic, unequal competition by squeezing them through a stagnant, bureaucratic nightmare, they get the people who have actually been highly trained to do it. It makes for an almost completely equal, high-quality experience that, maybe, could be superior than our illusion of control. Spread the money around where it counts, and the sheer crippling human cost we write off every day as acceptable damages could finally end.

Vols look to get off to strong start against ‘Pack Matthew Keylon Staff Writer The Tennessee Volunteers are about to kick off their season against the N.C. State Wolfpack on Friday in the Chick-filA Kickoff Game. The Vols haven’t done well in the Georgia Dome recently, going 0-6 since 1999. They also haven’t beaten an ACC school since Duke in 2003. On offense, the Volunteers need to get their running game going. After finishing 116th out of 117 teams last year in rushing offense and only averaging 2.76 yards a carry to finish 115th nationally, UT needs to be able to control the line of scrimmage. It starts with the offensive line, led by junior right tackle Ja’Wuan James. The line has 106 starts combined going into the season, compared to only three a couple of years ago. The Vols hope to make big plays through the air with junior quarterback Tyler Bray distributing the ball to wide receivers junior Justin Hunter, back from a torn ACL, and junior college transfer Cordarelle Patterson. In only two full games last year, Hunter had 17 receptions for 314 yards and two touchdowns. He will have to go up against one of the best cornerbacks in the country, junior David Amerson. “He is really talented, ... a good guy, first round draft pick, so I have heard. He plays the deep ball really well and likes to go for it too,” said Hunter. “Going against a guy like that, it’s talent on talent. That will give me a good day, a good workout.” Patterson will be trying to make the

jump from junior college to the SEC. He has received praise from all the coaches since he arrived on campus. With the dismissal of junior wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers last week, he will be more essential than ever. “Now he has to go perform, and he knows that. We’ll see how much the newness and the environment — it’s the SEC against the ACC, and it’s a big game on TV — and all that stuff, how it changes,” said Dooley. “Nobody just goes in the first game and is the guy, so there is going to be an element of patience we are going to have to exercise.” Bray will also have a seasoned veteran for a safety valve in redshirt senior tight end Mychal Rivera. On defense, the Vols return nine starters. Tennessee has to at least slow down N.C. State senior quarterback Mike Glennon. He returns after a junior campaign where he threw for over 3,000 yards and 31 TDs. The Vols will look to newcomers redshirt junior Darrington Sentimore and junior Daniel McCullers to provide pressure up front. “I’m adapting well. I’m ready and my teammates are ready also,” said Sentimore. “I think we worked very hard this offseason to get prepared to play against N.C. State and the rest of the teams in the SEC.” The strength of the defense should be the linebacker core, led by sixth year senior Herman Lathers. The secondary will be led by redshirt senior Prentiss Waggner in his natural position at cornerback. File Photo • The Daily Beacon The opening game will be televised on Junior quarterback Tyler Bray throws a pass during the Orange and White Game on April 21. ESPNU. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET.

N.C. State senior quarterback Mike Glennon stares down his receiver during a drill on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2010. Glennon was an All-ACC performer last year after throwing for over 3,000 yards in his first year as a starter.

There are high expectations for the N.C. State Wolfpack as they head to Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game Friday. The Wolfpack return 15 starters and has a team that can compete for an ACC title. Junior tight end Anthony Talbert said he and his team are excited to get the season started, especially since the game is in Atlanta. “We’re all excited as a team,” said Talbert. “Tennessee is a good team. It’s going to be a great competition between us and them, and the Georgia Dome will have a good atmosphere, so we’re all looking forward to it.” Their main weapon on defense is David Amerson, a junior cornerback that led the NCAA in interceptions last year with 13. The rest of the starting secondary is back and includes senior safety Brandan Bishop who recorded 97 tackles last season. Bishop, Amerson, and the rest of the defense will look to limit Tennessee’s passing game and force the Vols to run the ball. N.C. State struggled to

run the ball last season, averaging 3.0 yards per carry, and will turn to redshirt sophomore Tony Creecy to carry the load and balance the offense. Creecy has just recently been named the starter over last season’s starter, senior James Washington. “You have to look at what the defense is gonna do and what they’re gonna give you,” said head coach Tom O’Brien. “If we can’t throw the ball successfully then we’re not gonna run it because everyone is going to be in the box.” N.C. State’s senior quarterback Mike Glennon is very similar to Tennessee’s Tyler Bray. He is 6’6” and is an upper-tier college quarterback. He threw for over 3,000 yards last season and 31 touchdowns. Glennon is confident, but also gave credit to Tennessee’s historic program. “We want to win because it will get our season off to a good start, but I think it adds to it that it is a national spotlight game,” said Glennon. “It’s against an SEC opponent against historically one of the best teams in college football.”
