Students were hungry for change, and this year, Volunteer Dining is hoping to satisfy them.

After the controversy surrounding last year’s proposal for mandatory meal plans in 2015, UT Dining and University Housing teamed up with UT administration to deliver a variety of new dining options, locations and services.

This fall, the Presidential Court buffet introduced a gluten-free line while the Chickfil-A, located just the floor below, expanded to occupy the space Subway’s relocation left behind. The new Subway moved into Fred Brown Jr. Hall and is now open 24 hours.

In order to accommodate the new 24-hour Subway, UT administration has also expanded meal equivalency plans to include late night and Saturday transactions.

Additionally, Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boling Arena are now accepting Dining Dollars and VolCard funds.

When I ask assistant professor Claire Stigliani, a new addition to UT’s School of Art faculty, to let me interview her in her studio, she respectfully declines.

We end up meeting in the university center, where 31-year-old Stigliani explains her studio is a mess and, ironically, she doesn’t work there.

The real work is done in her bedroom.

It’s a habit she picked up during grade school art classes, where she often felt unable to concentrate. Instead, Stigiliani made art at home. There, splayed on the floor or on top of the covers, drawing doesn’t feel like working – it feels like dreaming.

Her recent work reflects this

dreamlike quality. In these pieces, Stigliani directs an avatar version of herself in scenes casted with historical figures, pop culture icons and various forms of technology.

“A lot of my spaces are interior and domestic, but I think of them as almost being a stage,” Stigliani said. “I’m not actually drawing a space where anyone lives, but thinking about a stage as a space for performance.”

In a work titled, “On Looking,” Stigliani’s avatar lounges in an antique chair while Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette” is projected onto the wall for her to draw. The busy scene includes multiple mirrors, a Macbook Pro “On Looking” by Claire Stigliani and a camera mounted on a tripriation,” or found images colpod, capturing the avatar as she laged together, “and imaginaworks. tion.”

These pieces, Stigliani said, This mix reflects her underlyfall “somewhere between approing pursuit of the ways people

Lady Vols look to avenge against WKU Jonathan Toye Contributor

Speakologist training sessions to be continuous campus presence Lauren Robinson Staff Writer Volunteers don’t back down – they speak up.

Starting this year, UT students and staff can train to become certified “Speakologists,” or active voices against domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault and other threatening situations on campus.

These training sessions, which emphasize personal awareness and early intervention, are one facet of the newly unveiled “Volunteers Speak Up” campaign, run by the Center for Health Education and Wellness.

“It goes back to the slogan of our office: ‘Vols Help Vols,’” said Laura Bryant, assistant director of the Center for Health and Wellness. “We want to help change the community, to make it safer by teaching Volunteers how to step in and make a difference.”

Speakologist training sessions began during Welcome Week but will continue throughout the semester as free, weekly “lunch and learn” sessions. Each session will include a one-hour class, free lunch and T-shirt for those who sign up early. Private training is also available upon request.

Family Weekend Concert welcomes local bands Crab Apple Lane, Subtle Clutch Marina Waters Contributor Our “scruffy little city,” as she is often called, has become a mecca for various musical genres and talents over the years. And Friday, the Family Weekend Concert is here to prove Knoxville’s reputation with two local upand-coming bands.

Crab Apple Lane and Subtle Clutch will take over Circle Park at 8 p.m. following Fall Fest, a campus event full of information on campus involvement and student groups.

Subtle Clutch, a four-man Americana and bluegrass band, will open the show.

Briston Maroney, the band’s lead vocalist, said the group formed under unusual circumstances.

“Eli was doing a school project, and as a portion of that project you have to do a service aspect, so Eli did a benefit concert for WDVX,” Maroney said. “We played a song or two there, and it was the first time we had done

Editorially independent student newspaper of the University of Tennessee established in 1906

something that wasn’t that bad, so we all got together after that.”

Since their subtle beginning, the band has played in numerous venues throughout Knoxville including last April’s Rhythm N’ Blooms festival.

“We’ve used the term ‘classgrass’ before, like bluegrass with class,” Maroney said.

The band combines a bluegrass meets contemporary folk sound in a Mumford & Sons meets Old Crow Medicine Show fashion to create a musical mixture all their own.

“It’s Americana. We’re kind of blending these instruments with songs that progressives are not,” mandolin player Jonathan Bailey, said.

Subtle Clutch will be followed by country band Crab Apple Lane. The headliner combines the knock-out vocals of Knoxville native, Deena Robbins with country crooner Kirk Wynn to create a rock meets country sound.

Robbins said their live shows showcase this collaboration.

Kristen Bright • The Daily Beacon Subtle Clutch, a folk band comprised of young musicians, performs at “Battle for Vola” on April 11.

“We’re country for sure, but we’ve got a little edginess of rock that comes along with it,” Robbins said. “We’re kinda loud and rowdy.”

That rowdy sound is hardly foreign to UT or Crab Apple Lane. The country band won the Campus Entertainment

After back-to-back heart breaking losses against Wisconsin and BYU, the Tennessee Lady Volunteer soccer team has a golden opportunity to get back on track against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on the road this evening.

The Lady Vols also have an opportunity to avenge a disappointing performance against the Hilltoppers last season, when they were held scoreless, eventually tying after two overtime periods.

Even though the game did not go on the loss record for the Lady Vols, the game certainly did not feel like a win either.

“It was a tie, but it sure felt like a loss,” Tennessee head soccer coach Brian Pensky said. “I think that will serve as plenty motivation for all the kids that played in the game last year. There is absolutely no question about it.”

The 2014 Hilltoppers are off to a solid 2-0 start to the season, deafeating early season opponents Lipscomb and Mercer.

The Lady Vols will be looking to put a dent in the Hilltoppers’ loss column as they strive to be the first team to score against WKU this season.

“The biggest key for us is to be patient, yet urgent in our attack,” Pensky said. “We can’t play slowly if they get numbers behind the ball and just want to slow the game down. We are going to have to switch the point of the attack really quickly, and get it in the wide areas.”

Pensky also noted crossing and finishing are imperative to the team’s success.

IN SHORT

Managing Editor

With development squeezing Nashville’s famous Music Row, some in the music industry say time is running out to preserve the district’s character and the studios where the Music City’s iconic sounds were born.

Just southeast of downtown, Music Row has long been home to an eclectic mix of recording studios, record label buildings, publishing houses and music industry office space. If country music had an epicenter, this is a neighborhood where it might be found. But recent demolitions to make room for new development have struck a nerve in the city’s musical community.

At least two studios have been torn down in the last year, and the district is shrinking.

“There’s a squeeze going on,” said Mike Kopp, president of the Music Industry Coalition, which includes hundreds of music executives, songwriters, musicians and fans. “It’s been squeezed down to about three or four streets ... and that continues to get squeezed.”

Part of the pressure is from development, as more people seek to live near downtown.

Two nearby universities, Vanderbilt and Belmont, are also expanding. Vanderbilt recently purchased the Sony Music building to use for administrative staff and academic purposes, though it’s allowing Sony to continue leasing space in the building.

Some developers have allowed tenants to continue leasing, but they’ve jacked up the rent.

In response, some artists have publicly protested the

development and rising rents.

Pianist and rocker Ben Folds drew a crowd of about 200 during a Music Row rally a couple of months ago. Country star and American Idol judge Keith Urban pleaded for preservation of Music Row in a local newspaper opinion piece.

If nothing else, Urban told The Associated Press, he’d like to see a dialogue about preservation.

“What I am hoping we can do is start a conversation about the requirements of heritage listings and zoning and various things that we can do as a community to preserve aspects of the row ... and not just sort of wonder as bulldozers start knocking things down,” Urban said.

The coalition says it’s not anti-development, but just wants to preserve as much of Music Row’s culture as possible.

“If there are condos being built, then why not have ... publishing houses that are incorporated into those developments,” said Sharon CorbittHouse, a coalition member and artist manager. “I would think a lot of out-of-town songwriters would love to rent or purchase a piece of property that’s built around businesses that they operate from, or they work from.”

One property in jeopardy is RCA Studio A, which the legendary Chet Atkins developed in 1964. It’s been used by a host of recording artists over the decades. Folds has rented the studio for 12 years. Developer Tim Reynolds recently bought the building. He said in an open letter to the media that he has had independent inspectors assess the property and he will “consider all options” regarding the best use of it, including possible preservation.

Home away from home UT hosts Fall Family Weekend Family Weekend Service Project Katelyn Hadder Staff Writer This weekend, mom and dad are coming to visit.

Fall Family Weekend will take place on UT’s campus in an attempt to welcome first-year students’ families to campus and make the transition into college life smoother. New Student and Family Programs will host a series of events throughout the weekend including a service project, concert and food drive.

Connor Dugosh, Student Government Association vice president, witnessed the impact of Fall Family Weekend first-hand when he worked in the New Student and Family Programming office. As an orientation leader, Dugosh also had multiple experiences working with events catering to first-year students.

“I had the opportunity to see families and friends experience what it is like to be a Tennessee Vol on game day,” Dugosh said.

“It’s really an exciting weekend for everyone involved, and it was great

to be a part of.”

Jessie Omer, an undecided freshman, looks forward to the opportunity to show her family the Knoxville area.

“UT has made sure that, as a freshman, my parents and I both know when, where and what Family Weekend is,” Omer said.

“My whole family is coming in town for this weekend, and I am so excited to have the chance to show my family how I am doing in Knoxville.

“An event like Family Weekend helps with the separation anxiety you feel when leaving home for the first time. If it weren’t for Family Weekend, I would have probably gone home. This way, I don’t feel like I’m going home too early in the year, and I still get the chance to see my parents for a little bit.

It’s definitely a lot easier for them to come here and leave me at the end of the weekend, than if I had chosen to go home myself.”

For more information on events, parking and accommodations, visit the New Student and Family Programming website at utk.edu.

MEAL PLANS continued from Page 1 Jeff Maples, senior associate vice chancellor of Finance and Administration noted these developments are evidence of UT Dining’s willingness to accommodate student requests.

“Student dining patterns and needs change,” Maples said. “We need to listen to what [students] say and make changes to meet the demands.”

In mid-September, Panda Express and Louisiana-based “chicken joint” Raising Canes will open on the corner of Cumberland Avenue and 17th Street. Both locations will accept meal equivalency and Dining Dollars – a rarity on the Strip.

And soon, more off-campus dining options may join the movement.

Hayley Brundige @hayleybrundige

Friday from 2-6 p.m. in Circle Park, students and parents will have the opportunity to decorate flower pots for local senior centers. Once they’re decorated, UT students will plant flowers in them and deliver them to local senior citizens.

Big Orange Tailgate Brunch Starting Saturday at 9 a.m. in Circle Park , entertainment, music and food will be provided for students and families to tailgate before the UT football game against Arkansas State.

Welcome LGBTQ Vol Families Representatives from the OUTreach Center will host an open house to discuss on-campus resources and programs for LGBTQ students Saturday at 11 a.m. in Melrose Hall, room F103.

Guided Tour of Neyland Stadium Starting at 10 a.m., families who registered will be given exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of Neyland Stadium.

Lady Vols Soccer Visiting families are encouraged to watch the Lady Vols take on Tulsa at 6:30 p.m. at Regal Soccer Stadium.

By fall of 2015, many Cumberland Avenue restaurants will have contracted with the university to accept VolCard funds, also known as Allstar. Although none have been confirmed yet, Maples said many merchants have already expressed interest.

“It’s going to be a great partnership,” Maples said. “I’m excited about it, the merchants are excited and I’ve talked to some students who are very excited.”

Although students will not be able to use their Dining Dollars or meal equivalency at non-university affiliated locations, at the end of the semester unused dining dollars will be absorbed into the Volcard account. Students who do not wish to have their funds transferred can also request a refund.

Rob Wynkoop, owner of Gyrene Burger, said he is excited for the opportunity to create a greater bond with the student body.

“We’ve been working on this for years,” Wynkoop said, “and I’m so glad we’re finally making some progress. VolCards aren’t exactly Dining Dollars, but it’s a start.”

Maples noted the 2015 Meal Plan changes, requiring all UT students to purchase a minimum $300 Meal Plan, are part of the plan to construct new facilities across campus.

In July, Maples traveled with students from the Student Government Association to the University of Virginia and James Madison University to tour their facilities and gain inspiration for future construction projects on campus.

The changes to UT Dining currently being implemented are an attempt to make funding new projects more attractive to students.

“Everything we do,” Maples said, “is based on student feedback.”

For more information on UT dining, visit www.utdining.com

SPEAKOLOGIST continued from Page 1 “We believe it’s imperative to educate our students on how to play an active role in our community, and community involvement begins with awareness and action,” Bryant said.

Bryant is not alone. In response to a number of Title IX violations and mishandled sexual assault cases at major universities, the federal government pressured schools to provide better prevention education to students and staff.

Jenny Richter, UT’s Title IX coordinator, oversees the university’s response to instances of sexual misconduct or discrimination.

“There is research from around the country that [preventative measures] have more effect than, say, me talking to a group of students,” Richter said. “Peer activity can be very effective. We just want to make sure that students know what to do to be active bystanders.”

Bradi Musil bmusil@vols.utk.edu

The hour-long, interactive training sessions cover topics ranging from group-think and the bystander effect to specific case strategies for safe intervention on behalf of others.

Shannon Herron, a secondyear graduate student in the College of Arts & Sciences and graduate assistant for the Center for Student Engagement, participated in a Welcome Week training session with other members of the Center for Student Engagement.

He noted having such a program on campus would have been helpful last year.

The sessions, he believes, could even afford to be more extensive.

“Honestly, I think it could have been a little longer,” Herron said. “It’s a tough issue to talk about, but there was a lot of really great information, and at the end of it, we were all left wanting more.”

Letter to the

Editor

Wal-Mart has everything to offer consumers, employees I would like to provide a different perspective regarding the wages and career opportunities provided by Wal-Mart that were articulated in Chris West’s recent column on workers’ rights. The information provided in the article did not accurately reflect who we are as a company, and I would like to share facts about who we are. On behalf of the more than 200 associates of the new University Commons store, I feel it is important to set the record straight about the opportunities Wal-Mart provides.

Our wages and benefits typically meet or exceed those offered by our competitors. We offer our salaried and hourly store associates quarterly store-performance based cash bonus opportunities, a health plan that starts at $18 per pay period, a 401k plan with a company match, a discount on merchandise and a chance to move up through the ranks.

Last year, we promoted 170,000 people to jobs with higher pay and more responsibility; 40 percent of those promotions went to people in their first year with Wal-Mart.

I began my career with Wal-Mart as an intern in college. Today, 12 years later, I have the honor to lead hundreds of associates as a store manager near my alma mater, the University of Tennessee. And I’m not unique.

More than 75 percent of the Wal-Mart store management teams across the country began as hourly associates and found career paths in management with salaries that range from $50,000 to $250,000 per year.

Unfortunately, too few people understand Wal-Mart’s commitment to providing good, stable jobs and promoting from within to provide long-term career opportunities. I have seen it proven over and over again that with hard work and dedication, you can have terrific success as a Wal-Mart associate.

Opportunities are out there every day, not only at the local management level but also in areas like marketing and logistics all over the world.

As to Mr. West’s comments regarding “voting with your dollar,” we are honored to have more than 140 million people a week choose Wal-Mart, making the smart decision to save money on their purchases. We do our best to provide quality products at everyday low prices for customers.

We too agree that we can play a role in raising standards to ensure workers in our supply chain have better working conditions. In fact, in 2013, we made important enhancements to our “Responsible Sourcing” program in three key areas: empowerment, worker safety and well-being, and transparency in the supply chain.

We also require factories to provide safe working conditions and, where applicable, safe and sanitary residential facilities. Our suppliers’ factories must comply with WalMart’s rigorous standards for suppliers in order to supply merchandise to Wal-Mart.

And as part of our ethical sourcing program, we aim to positively impact global supply chain practices both by raising our own standards and by partnering with other retailers and brands to improve the standards for workers in the supply chain across the industry.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my story and to provide a different perspective, and on behalf of University Commons’ WalMart management team, a big thank you to all our associates for all you do to serve our customers and support our communities.

Sincerely, Janet Bales Store Manager, University Commons WalMart

Missing the Mark Untitled by

Grayson Hawkins Here’s a bandwagon we can all jump on: get rid of Aramark.

In 2013, Aramark pulled in an astounding $13.95 billion. Honestly, you just can’t maintain quality at a local level with a company so large, especially not if the main goal of said company is profit. Fun fact: Eric Foss, the CEO of Aramark made $1.38 billion from salary alone in 2013, with an additional $2.63 billion in bonuses (and I guess the other $14 billion in stock options is worth mentioning, too).

Fun fact No. 2: high level executives at UT earn around $500,000. The only people who seem to love the Aramark Corporation are (naturally) UT’s Board of Trustees (the one that keeps renewing Aramark’s contract). So, why are we still being forced to buy from Aramark’s small, but overpriced selection?

Aramark is known for its low-quality service. Horror stories from several states include $200,000 fines due to

September rolls around, I would like to give advice to all new faces on campus: buy Christmas sweaters now, not later.

Many freshmen have fallen victim to the idea they can swing by Goodwill on the way to their party once December is here.

Every organization on campus will have a tacky Christmas sweater meeting, party, contest or convocation. Once the time is here, these items become more precious than gold. Also, keep in mind: the level of ridiculousness of one’s sweater is directly proportional to his/her commitment to the organization.

Fireworks for Neyland: Do you know how great it feels to see a beautifully designed play result in a touchdown, hear The Pride blasting “Rocky Top,” and feel the shaking of the stadium as the student section goes crazy? You probably do, because it happened 5 times this past week.

Do you know what’s better? When there are some gosh darn fireworks overhead for each and every one! I know there was one at the end, but by that point, half of the stadium was on the Strip.

Listen -- I will pay every tuition increase, deal with every construction project and compete in the reality TV show about finding parking on campus if, and only if, we get fireworks after touchdowns. This past weekend, a quarter of the city’s budget (don’t ask me if it is right, feel with me that it seems right) was spent on fireworks. Is

maggots being found in food-preparation areas, shortages on food and many other blatant violations of their contracts. And yet, government institutions and large corporations continue to renew their contracts with Aramark without fail…why?

Because Aramark is the lowest bidder -- the cheapest contract which will still provide for the whole of campus.

“But all large-scale contracts are like that!”

Well, firstly I wouldn’t define UT’s dining as “large-scale,” it’s only a 10-year, $15 million deal (compared to UT’s operation costs of around $20 billion in the past 15 years). Second, it’s not like UT’s trying to save money anyway. Our tuition has been raised each year for the past few decades. It’s so easy to just imagine some high-level bureaucrat in the UT administration explaining how we “can’t” overhaul campus food and food distribution. It seems impossible for anybody in any position of authority to understand the pressure of paying ludicrous prices for food ON TOP of our ludicrously priced tuition.

Now, let’s say we wanted to get rid of Aramark -- what would happen? Well … all of our leases to restaurants like Subway and Chick-fil-a are made through

Aramark; they would all end. Maybe, just maybe, we could lease out high-traffic food areas to locally-owned companies which don’t ship their meat in by the Chinese ton, or at the very least we could lease out to locally owned franchises of successful business owners. Cafeterias could be self-sufficient devices: owned, run and operated by UT. Currently, the P.O.D. stores, owned

by Aramark, are forced to purchase their goods from Sysco, also owned by Aramark. Getting rid of this kind of monopoly could reduce costs to actual competitive prices. Campus food does not have to be expensive, UT is doing this to itself. We, the students and faculty, want access to reasonably priced food. We also want a Waffle House. On-campus.

Seriously.

I would also like to pre-apologize in the case any of my information is incorrect.

The records and information in regards to Aramark’s role on campus are hard (impossible) to find; I’m just trying to work with what I’ve got. Also, send me emails. I like emails.

ARTS & CULTURE FALL FEST continued from Page 1 Though these bands will bring two different genres to campus on Friday, they are planning more collaboration in the future.

“We’re in the works of recording something with them [Subtle Clutch],” Robbins said. “They’re super talented, and we wanted to work with them, so that is in the works.”

Following their appearance at the Family Weekend Concert on Friday, Subtle Clutch is planning a release party for their EP entitled “Southern Wind” on Nov. 15 at Remedy Coffee House in addition to an upcoming show at this month’s Square Room Showcase. Crab Apple Lane plans to begin a radio tour this October to promote their latest single “Hit The Ground Running,” which premiered in late July.

UT student takes unusual path to photography Jenna Butz Arts & Culture Editor (@butzjenna) Although he majors in accounting and Spanish, Asafe Pereira’s photography minor plays a major role in his life.

A year ago, film photography was just a hobby for Pereira. Now, photography is Pereira’s passion. In fact, he’s showing in the 1010 Gallery during tonight’s First Friday festivities.

“Just because I’m not an art major doesn’t mean that I don’t have things to say,” Pereira said.

Last summer, Pereira returned to Nashville following an internship in Barcelona, Spain, with a brokering firm.

Once home, he realized no one would hire him for the month before school resumed and asked a friend to borrow her film camera. She showed him how to use the equipment, gave him some film and let him loose. Since then, a camera

around his neck is an Asafe Pereira staple.

“I guess that’s how I fell into that,” Pereira explained, shrugging. “Just looking for something to pass my time.”

Pereira only shoots film. He finds, as opposed to digital, he can direct his art more.

For him, film cameras are fascinating in their mechanics.

Film cameras allow him to take more intentional photos in a hands-on manner, even letting him develop, cut, scan and edit his own film. One roll of film can take him anywhere from five to seven hours to fully finish.

“You’re trying to see where that rectangle is going to take you,” Pereira said. “It kind of gives every picture I take just a little bit more meaning to me.”

While he is still dedicated to his accounting degree, Pereira believes his photography has taught him discipline in every aspect of his life including his majors. While he is still debating law school following graduation, his accounting background could also give him a business foundation for opening a studio someday, another idea Pereira is considering.

Either way, his dedication to photography stands strong as a personal expression of creativity.

“It’s kind of the first thing in my life that I feel is completely mine,” Pereira said, concentrating on his words. “It’s—as a human—the desire to create something that has some sort of meaning to you and that other people can relate to. I guess I never really put myself into anything wholeheartedly. Not to say I slacked or anything, just I never really loved what I was doing until I encountered photography.”

Originally from Brazil,

STIGLIANI continued from Page 1

Asafe Pereira checks the settings on his Nikon film camera on Sept. 3.

Pereira’s photographs, which will hang in the gallery beside the drawings of his roommate Nathan Sulfaro, document the displacement he has felt after moving to Tennessee when he was younger.

“Things here are a lot more guarded, and life is different here,” Pereira said. “The pace is different. What’s acceptable is different. That’s something I always learned to deal with as far as being in the South, you know. A lot of being polite, “But I’m really interested in all the other windows that exist, especially through the screen.”

The mention of screens leads our conversation to another of Stigliani’s passions: reality television. Growing up, however, Stigliani’s parents did not allow television in the house.

“My parents wanted to raise people who read books instead of watched television,” she said, “but I just always loved it. I guess it’s nature vs. nurture. How much can you actually control the way your kids turn out?”

Nevertheless, Stigliani’s upbringing affected her artwork. From ages 3-12, she lived in Austria, where her father worked at the Austrian royal family’s summer palace.

“I would go to work with my father, and it just completely made sense to be there as a kid,” Stigliani says. “Fairy tales were such a big thing for me -- the nostalgia of the castles.”

This nostalgia, another kind of dreamlike reality, draws an additional parallel with her artwork: a fictional place rooted in lived experiences. And while Austria’s baroque architecture has a consistent place in her paintings, less obvious are the influences from spending her teenage years in a college town in Iowa.

“It’s the experience of living in a place that’s removed from this idea of culture or everything that’s happening,” Stigliani said. “All of your culture that you’re consuming is through magazines and movies and television.

“It’s this feeling that the

holding doors open for girls, just that kind of thing, but there’s also that other side of the Southern culture which is complete repression. Going to church for however many years, being in Sunday school, just racial tensions, interracial relationships, sexual preferences. There’s a lot that’s frowned upon, but that doesn’t make—I find it no less beautiful that that’s on the Earth.”

Primarily focusing on people, Pereira doesn’t leave

interpretation up to the viewer.

Instead, he aims to direct the viewer, showing them exactly what it is he wants them to see.

“A lot of my work is about intention, whether that be to show a moment or hide something from the viewer or try to create some sort of storyline through cropping or making the angle different,” Pereira said. “Everything I try to do, I do with intention. I guess that’s my main theme: intention.”

world is happening to everybody but you. You’re creating it in your mind.”

Thus the obsession with reality TV. Her favorites include the “Real Housewives” series and the “Howard Stern Show.” With “Howard Stern,” Stigliani particularly loves the celebrity interview, the relationships among the staff and the audience participation.

This fascination with the audience’s gaze is echoed in her work -- both the artist herself and the avatar in the painting are distinctly aware they are being watched. Dorothy M. Habel, director of the School of Art, was part of the selection process that brought Stigliani from Carnegie Mellon to UT. Habel said she’s “very solicitous” of a viewer’s response.

“Look at the image, but also think about yourself,” Habel said of Stigliani’s pieces.

“Whether this world that she creates is one that touches you in any way or is completely alien, you feel like you’re learning about the artist, but especially for female viewers, you’re learning about yourself.”

Stigliani’s audience often seems to be young girls -- the ones on Facebook, the ones obsessed with “Twilight” and the ones taking perfect selfies (one of her pieces is actually called “How to Take a Selfie”).

I point out that her style compares nicely to that of Taylor Swift -- both artists consider the audience to be part of the work, and both incorporate subject matter typically considered “low culture.”

“I’ve always loved Taylor Swift,” Stigliani said, laughing.

“I’ve stood up for her with so

many boyfriends. She’s a really interesting persona because she has a sweetness about her.

She plays this virginal, pure girl who knows that she actually is.

“She’s playing in the boys’ game, and she’s doing it in a really girly way.”

And like Swift, she knows all work is subject to criticism.

But these days, Stigliani simply – ahem – shakes it off.

“When I was a kid I immediately needed to show my mother,” she said. “It wasn’t finished until I got that ‘very good!’

“Now, I don’t take anything personally. I make my work, and I do it because it’s important to me.”

At UT, this attitude extends into the classroom. After teaching at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the University of Missouri and Carnegie Mellon, Stigliani is well versed in the art of bringing vulnerability and personality out of students.

Fellow drawing professor Joshua Bienko finds Stigliani’s teaching style similar to his own.

“Our teaching styles are in chorus,” Bienko said. “We’re both Socratically skeptical.

We’re both intensely devoted to drawing.”

But above all, they share a deep appreciation for art, whether it’s created in a studio or on a bedroom floor.

“And, I’m embarrassed to say, we both know intuitively, that the secrets to our existence are buried somewhere in between cave drawings and Facebook selfies.”

VOLLEYBALL

BrandonCrawford•TheDailyBeacon The Lady Volunteers got to the net during practice on Aug. 28.

Lady Vols volleyball look towards weekend tournament Trenton Duffer Contributor After starting their season in the Appalachian Invitational, going 2-1, Tennessee head coach Rob Patrick and his Lady Volunteers have shifted their focus to Ames, Iowa, where they will play in the Iowa State Challenge this weekend.

Each opponent brings a different set of skills to the table.

“How we approach every single match is we look at the matchup we are going to play next,” Patrick said.

Northern Illinois just finished the NIU Invitational, where they finished 1-2 with losses to Northwestern and Colorado. “(Northern Illinois) is coming off a good weekend, and they have a couple of good hitters,” Patrick said.

One of those hitters is senior Mackenzie

Roddy, who started all 123 sets her junior year and earned All-MAC First Team honors for the second year in a row.

After Northern Illinois, the Lady Vols will go up against an Iowa State team that received 16 top 25 votes. Iowa State is 0-2, but its two losses came against No. 3 Stanford and No. 13 Florida State. The Cyclones will be hungry to pick up a victory against a young UT team that started four sophomores and two freshmen in the Appalachian Invitational.

They are led by unanimous Big 12 firstteamer Mackenzie Bigbee. The former AllAmerican honorable mention is one of the top hitters in the country.

“They have two really good outside hitters who are big and more experienced than ours,” Patrick said. “We are going to have to play some really disciplined volleyball.”

For the finale of the tournament, the Lady Vols will go up against Nebraska-Omaha (1-2), a team who lost two close matches against

Drake and Missouri-Kansas City this past weekend. This will be the first time the Mavericks and the Lady Vols have met on the court.

The Mavericks’ middle blocker Megan Schmale, who started in every game for Nebraska-Omaha as a sophomore in 2013, will be a force to be reckoned with as she led the Summit Conference in blocks per set last year at 1.16.

Patrick believes his team can best all three teams in the upcoming tournament.

“Physically, we can match up against these teams,” the Lady Vols head man said. “We’re just gonna make sure we can play as consistent as we can so that we don’t make unforced errors.”

The Lady Vols’ contests against Northern Illinois and Iowa State will take place Friday at noon and 7:30 p.m., respectively. UT will cap their weekend off at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday when they face Nebraska-Omaha.

Vols look to redeem themselves at Carpet Capitol Collegiate Tournament Trenton Duffer Contributor If someone were to ask Tennessee men’s golf coach Jim Kelson how he expects his team to fare in this weekend’s 26th Annual Carpet Capital Collegiate in Dalton, Georgia, his response would be simple.

“I expect us to play well and play consistent,” Kelson said.

The Vols are looking to bounce back from their share of 11th place in last year’s talent-packed tournament, but stout competition won’t be absent from this year’s challenge either.

With five top-25 teams in this tournament – Alabama, Georgia Tech, LSU, South Carolina, and Auburn – as well as three teams that received votes to be in the top 25 – Wake Forest, North Florida, and Clemson – the Vols will have their hands full.

The Vols will be looking to sophomore Jack Smith to perform as he did his freshman year, when he shot a 74 (+2), 71 (-1) and 75 (+3) to finish tied for 27th at +4 in his then-first tournament at the college level.

Junior Chad Murzbacher fully believes his team is ready for the upcoming tournament.

“We went on Saturday to Dalton to play in the qualifier,” Murzbacher said. “We got to see the course we’ll be playing in the tournament …You have to prepare yourself for the tournament.

“We’re very focused on playing the golf course … we’re very focused on what we are trying to do.

In the end, we can’t control what the other players do. We can mentally and physically prepare ourselves, and go out there and do the best we can do.”

Kelson feels that group play, not individual play, will help in this tournament.

“All of our guys are pretty similar,” Kelson said.

“They’re interchangeable, and that’s a strength of our team this year.”

The Farm Golf Club will be the home of the Carpet Capital this year. The 72-par course is over 7,000 yards, with four par-3’s, ten par-4’s, and four par 5’s, including the 2nd hole, which is a 601-yard behemoth.

The tournament will run from Friday through Sunday. Chad Merzbacher will tee off first at 7:30 a.m., followed by Jack Smith at 7:39 a.m., Mike Nagy at 7:48 a.m., Lorenzo Scalise at 7:57 a.m., and Juan Carlos Serrano at 8:06 a.m. All UT players will be teamed with players from Kennesaw State and Wake Forest.

ARKANSAS STATE

Knighten looks to use dual-threat ability to deal some ‘damage’ Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor (@dsouth16) Butch Jones answered with authority.

When asked for a brief scouting report on Arkansas State quarterback Fredi Knighten, the second-year Tennessee head coach firmly provided a vivid descriptor.

“Explosive,” Jones said Tuesday.

And for good reason. The Red Wolves’ junior signal caller accounted for 357 total yards last Saturday in ASU’s 37-10 drubbing of Football Championship Subdivision participant, Montana State.

“He’s dynamic with the ball in his hands,” Jones said. “He has to be accounted for in everything that he does. He can distribute the football. He can flip field position, and he change the game in • Photo courtesy of Justin Manning

“It’s gonna be their fast against our fast. They’re gonna come out there and try to use their speed just to try to dominate.”

Last week — albeit against the lesser opponent in Montana State — that was hardly an issue for ASU, who’ll face an SEC foe for the third time in the last five years.

In the season-opening blowout win, Blake Anderson’s squad ripped off 7.2 yards per offensive play and had five of its seven scoring drives last less than two minutes.

“The last game they played,” Coleman said, “they’ll get through the play, and then they’ll line up as fast as possible just to try to get anxiety into you, just to try to see if you’ll mess up.

“They definitely come out there with fast tempo and they’re looking to trick the team, their opponents … I feel like they are going to come out there and try to gas us out and see our formations — see what we are playing

against them, just to try to win.”

Although Saturday marks just the second time ASU has ever trekked east to Neyland Stadium, the noon kickoff does signify a homecoming of sorts for Red Wolves cornerbacks coach Trooper Taylor, who manned the UT sideline from 2004-07 as an assistant.

Known for his iconic backwards hat and overly energetic demeanor, Taylor recently spent time at Oklahoma State and Auburn also, most notably serving as the Tigers’ wide receivers coach on their 2010 national championship team.

“I understand him being at Tennessee and being a long time coach in the SEC,” Jones said of his relationship with Taylor.

“I’ve had the chance to meet him a few times but not a personal relationship where we’ve gotten together. Just met him and know a lot people who know him and speak fondly of him.”

How They Match Up Arkansas State

one snap.”

While the ASU signal caller did torch the Bobcats through the air to the tune of 219 yards and a touchdown, Knighten’s most riveting skill set perhaps lies with his wheels. On a teamhigh 16 carries, the 5-foot-11, 189-pounder racked up 93 yards rushing against MSU — a stat legitimate enough to headline the Red Wolves’ ground production this year.

And in a backup role last season, Knighten still managed to scamper for 344 yards and five touchdowns — his most prolific outing coming against University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff campus, when he cracked the century mark and scored twice on the ground.

“I see that is somebody that we can’t let get out of the pocket,” UT senior cornerback Justin Coleman said. “When he runs, I clearly see that he is devastating.

Recruiting Update

Vols look to keep rolling despite short week

The Tennessee Volunteers hosted many high school prospects this weekend for their opening game against Utah State, including several highprofile targets for the 2015 class.

And while this weekend was not the biggest recruiting weekend the Vols will have this season, the number of visitors for the opening game was considerably larger than usual.

Five-star defensive tackle Shy Tuttle, four-star defensive end Kyle Phillips and four-star defensive back Cameron Ordway were just some of the visitors Sunday, and their visits were encouraging signs for the Vols.

Tuttle in particular seemed to enjoy his visit.

According to Tuttle’s high school coach, the Lexington, North Carolina, native had “a great time” and “really enjoyed” his trip to Knoxville to watch the Vols. North Carolina and North Carolina State are believed to be the top contenders for Tuttle along with Tennessee.

North Carolina was once considered the favorite to land Tuttle, but it now appears the Vols have momentum and are on top of his list. Tuttle is set to announce his decision at his team’s game Sept. 26.

Both Phillips and Ordway are in-state prospects, and the Vols have made them both high priority targets for the 2015 class. Ordway’s visit to Knoxville was his third in the last three months, and it was Phillips’ first visit since naming his top five schools in early August.

Another in-state prospect, four-star offensive lineman Drew Richmond, has announced that he will commit Sept. 9. The state’s No. 1 overall prospect’s predictions are all over the board, but Ole Miss and Tennessee are generally considered the favorites to land him.

A lot has been made of the Tennessee Volunteers’ 38-7 victory over the Utah State Aggies, but Sunday’s contest did do one thing for certain: hand the Vols a short week to prepare for Week 2.

“We came in on Monday and got right to work, but you have to be cognizant that it is a short week for them, and it was a physical football game,” second-year head coach Butch Jones said. “We have to keep that in mind. We have a lot of work to do, and it is a balancing act. What you did last week has absolutely no bearing on the outcome of this week.

“You have to have a short-term memory. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. You have to move on, and that is what we have been stressing with a good football team coming here.”

Enter the Arkansas State Red Wolves, a speedy Sun Belt opponent who has appeared in the GoDaddy Bowl each of the last three seasons.

With ASU’s new head coach Blake Anderson in the works, preparing for the Red Wolves has proven to be a difficulty for the Vols.

“Well it’s a challenge, and again you have the Montana State game, but you have to look at other forms of where they have been and kind of try to say, ‘OK what games are they going to look at? How are they going to try to schematically line up against us,’ so it’s a great challenge especially with a young football team,” Jones said.

“It’s still another game of the unknowns because we only have one film on them. A lot of times, the packages of offense, defense and special teams will continue to expand and grow from week one to

Senior quarterback Justin Worley prepares to throw a pass during the Vols’ 38-7 victory against Utah State on Aug. 31. week two, just like we’ll do some different things as well. You have to be ready for anything and everything.”

Tennessee goes into Saturday’s contest 7-0 all-time against Sun Belt teams, with one of those victories coming against the Red Wolves back in 2007.

The Vols would benefit from senior quarterback Justin Worley having a similar performance to the one then-signal caller Eric Ainge had on that September evening, when he passed for 334 yards and four touchdowns to lead UT to a 48-27 victory.

But this was before Arkansas State underwent five coaching changes in the last five years en

route to becoming a competitive Division-I program, and the Vols know this time around victory won’t come so easy.

“Arkansas State, comes in here, their players expect to win no matter who the head coach has been,” Jones said. “They win, and they go to bowl games. If you look at their body of work over a period of time it has been very, very impressive.

“They are a good football team.

Our football team has to come in ready to play Saturday at noon.”

Game Note: The University of Tennessee has designated Saturday’s contest against the Red Wolves as the Military Appreciation Game for 2014.

At halftime, the Pride of the Southland Band will pay tribute to the military with their performance, one which will be accompanied by country music icon Lee Greenwood.

The halftime performance will be accompanied by UT’s designation as Purple Heart University by the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Department of Tennessee, for its commitment to veterans and the military.

Fans will be given the opportunity to express their appreciation for our servicemen and women by signing and writing messages of appreciation on a banner which will be set up outside Gate 21 of Neyland Stadium.

SOCCER continued from Page 1 “Our MO (mode of operation) so far this year has been crossing and finishing,” Pensky said. “We have five goals in the run of play, four of those five have come off of

crossing and finishing. That has become our bread and butter, and that is where we have to be good.”

Sophomore forward Anna McClung also said the team learned several lessons in the loss against BYU and they can apply them to their game against Western Kentucky.

“From BYU, I think we need to focus on

getting the ball wide and attacking through the flanks,” McClung said. “I think we tried to force some balls and I think this week we have done a lot in preparing for that.”

The Lady Vols will face off against the Hilltoppers at 7 p.m. and then return to Knoxville to play Tulsa inside Regal Stadium on Sunday at 6:30 p.m.
