Catherine Luther named Director of College of Journalism Annie Tieu

Contributor

Catherine Luther was recently promoted to Director of School of Journalism. Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon

Volume 132 Issue 15

Catherine Luther’s office is sparse. There are boxes piled high and her desk is a small one, more appropriate for a dorm than an office. At least, it is for now until she finishes moving into her new office as the director of the School of Journalism and Electronic Media. Luther has received several awards for excellence in administration, research and teaching, including the 2012 University of Tennessee Notable Woman Award, John Ben Snow Memorial Trust Fellowship Award, the Radio Television News Directors Foundation or Knight Foundation’s Educator in the Newsroom Fellowship Award and the International Radio and Television Society Faculty or Industry Award. The University of Tennessee College of Communication and Information has also awarded her the Bud Minkel International or Intercultural Award and the Outstanding Faculty Research award. She has been the author and co-author of numerous scholarly articles and papers, as well as a book, “Press Images, National Identity, and Foreign Policy: A Case Study of U.S. — Japan Relations from 19551995.” Additionally, she was awarded the Fulbright Research Grant to conduct research in Japan in 2007. Growing up in a military family, Luther has travelled the world since birth. As the daughter of a Japanese-American mother and Irish-German father, she was born in an army base in Japan but she considers Maryland, where she spent her high school years, her home state. As an undergraduate, Luther attended the University of Maryland where she double majored in East Asian Studies and Mass Communication. She has always been fascinated by politics and political relations since these were topics of conversation in her home. Her background is what inspired her career decisions. Luther shared what initially attracted her to journalism. “This notion of serving the public and informing the public about different events and stories and issues that they normally

would not even think about or be exposed to motivated me,” Luther said. While holding this belief despite the world’s changing attitude about the media, she offered advice to others studying communications. “You really have to have a passion with regard to informing people and creating compelling messages and stories,” Luther said. “Never give up. When you get into this field you might have a bad experience … but you can move around and learn with each position.” Her hobbies are ones most people share: listening to music, going to movies and traveling. “And food,” she said, with a laugh. “I love food, different kinds of food.” Of course she loves to travel. Even in her spare time, she enjoys reading about other countries: their politics, culture and people. “Every location that I go to, I feel that it is making me more well-rounded, and I’m getting a deeper understanding of individuals,” Luther said. Even if she does not know the language, she enjoys interacting with others, reaching some level of communication and getting to know the authentic culture, away from the tourism. “I always try to go into places to get a sense of how people live everyday lives, instead of just the areas serving tourists,” Luther said. “It’s really those areas where you tend to have the really great food, too.” Deborah Douglas, who retired Aug. 31, has worked in the School of Journalism for 27 years and with Luther since 2003. “We’ve always had a good work relationship,” Douglas said. And if she was not retiring soon, she said, “I wouldn’t mind working with her as the new director of the School of Journalism and Electronic Media.” Luther received her Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a major in mass communication and a minor in political psychology. She has been with UT since 1998. It was the first academic position she started, despite offers from other institutions. Her mentor suggested Tennessee and she applied for the position because she had never lived in the South. See LUTHER on Page 2

New networking app helps students enter the workforce Alex Holcomb

Contributor

AirFive is a new app that is connecting college students and recent graduates with professionals who attended or are attending the same college to help those attempting to enter the workforce. The connections made on the app are designed to create face-to-face interactions with people that will help prospective employees put their foot in the door even before graduation. Cofounder of the app, UT graduate Johnny Whitfield, believes AirFive is useful to students joining the workforce. “It’s to connect students and alumni for mentorships and events,” Whitfield said. “You can connect underclassmen to upperclassmen to recent grads to basically get guidance going through the process of somebody who was just in their shoes.” Simone Kelly, an exchange student from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, sees the value AirFive has to offer. “I just think it’s a really good stepping stone to start you off in that direction that you’re wanting to go into because it can be really hard to find your place,” Kelly said. Whitfield also says the app is important because it is often true that jobs are found more often by connections rather than by applications.

LUTHER continued from Page 1 As far as staying with UT, Luther said, “The university … has been quite good to me. I think it really does care about its employees and its students. “We’ve been very lucky, especially recently, to have administrators who want to make a difference and make the campus better for faculty, students and staff,” she said. Luther was chosen to be the director by both an internal committee and the Dean of the College of Communication and Information Michael Wirth. Wirth said the process was a “shared governance.”

Jobs are filled by

networks, not job boards. They’re filled by friends of friends, friends of the people who currently work there.” Johnny Whitfield, Cofounder of AirFive

“Jobs are filled by networks, not job boards. They’re filled by friends of friends, friends of the people who currently work there. And even if it does hit a job board — I’ve already had a ton of experience with this — where I’m applying to hundreds of jobs and then I never hear back because they’re gone because they’re filled by a friend of an employee,” Whitfield said. AirFive has many functions to help the user connect with future references. If a student wanted to meet with a person in the career they are interested in

Wirth said Luther was the only applicant for the senior position. However, it still meant she had to go through the full interview process typical of all applicants. Ultimately, she was unanimously selected by the committee, a decision that Wirth agreed with. Luther is currently serving a 5-year term until her position is renewed by the dean of the the College of Communication and Information. Wirth said about the director position, “They’re in charge of leading the faculty and helping the faculty strategically plan for how to get better, how to be outstanding, even more so than they are now. It’s critical we have great people in those positions, and Catherine’s one of those people.”

all they have to do is simply ask them to meet. “You can find them and ask them to get coffee or food. When the person accepts, then it swaps your contact information so you two can get together,” Whitfield said. Kelly, as an exchange student, sees how AirFive could help her if she decides to return to the United States. “Right now, it’s hard to meet the right people and it’s hard to find out where things are available, and with (AirFive) you’ve got people talking to you directly,” Kelly said. “And it’s quicker and faster paced. I think it would be easier.” AirFive is free, and the creators plan to keep it that way. “There needs to be a revenue stream, but our goal is to help people create relationships and there should not be a pay barrier to that,” Whitfield said. “So, our intent is to keep this free for users forever and we will find other ways to monetize it.” The app is something personal to Whitfield because of the difficulties he faced when creating a network. He wants others to better grow their networks and make more meaningful relationships than he did in and after college. Whitfield also said the app can be used socially to meet people and make friends. AirFive had its beta release in late July and is still in a beginning phase that is updated often based upon user feedback. It’s available on the Android and Apple app stores, but currently not on the Microsoft app store.

You really have to have a passion with regard to informing people and creating compelling messages and stories.” Catherine Luther, Directer of the College of Journalism

Triple threat named Knoxville’s first poet laureate Anu Kumar

Staff Writer S inger-songwriter, playwright and poet R. B. Morris will serve as Knoxville’s first poet laureate. The position entails participation in the local poetry community and advocacy for its events and accessibility. Even though this is a new position, the poet laureate program will make itself right at home in a culturally enriched city such as Knoxville. It already brings with it an air of tradition. “It is, of course, a great honor to be named the first poet laureate of Knoxville,” Morris said. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around that.” With Knoxville having such a rich pool of writers, Morris was surprised to be chosen as the first. Although, Morris is deserving of this title because of his many published poetry books (of which most are inspired by his own life). “Like a lot of writers and artists,” he said, “my own life tends to be an ongo-

ing theme in my work.” East Tennessee culture and history is a prominent subject in his work, but he did not set out to write about East Tennessee at first. “I don’t usually start off trying to write about East Tennessee in particular as a topic, it’s just part of who I am and it finds its own way in there,” Morris said. Morris has been involved with poetry for a majority of his life, often bridging the art of poetry with his songwriting. “In many ways, I think a lot of the poets of the last few generations have been songwriters,” Morris said. Morris also has an older brother who has influenced and encouraged him during his path to becoming a writer. Some writers who have also influenced him are Joyce and Yeats, as well as Bob Dylan and most blues/popular music. Morris’ current works involve developing a one man play about James Agee. Joe Casterline will be the star of the play, and Morris will act as the director. The production will be performed at the Knoxville Museum of Art auditorium on Oct. 27, Oct. 30, Nov. 3

It is, of course, a great honor to be named the first poet laureate of Knoxville. I’m still trying to wrap my head around that.”

and Nov. 6. “I would hope that a lot of UT students would check it out,” Morris said. Morris is also working on a poem in honor of Knoxville’s 225th birthday, which will be released in the first week of October. Morris certainly has the experience needed as Knoxville’s first poet laureate, having released several albums and EP’s and having his songs recorded by

R. B. Morris, Knoxville’s first Poet Laureate

people like John Pride and Marianne Faithfull. He was also a writer-in-residence for UT. Morris has a few other things in mind, but has not been able to develop them fully until his current projects are done. “I have other projects … that I’m trying to get to as soon as I work through these,” Morris said. “So much to do (in) so little time.”

Invest intelligently, federal government

Peter Cates For Pete’s Sake

Hopefully, politicians advocate for all legislation based on the idea of improving their citizens’ lives. As I see it, they try to accomplish that in two ways: make sure that citizens have the fiscal means to do the things they need or want to do and make sure their citizens have the social benefits of living in a governed country. These intertwine and ultimately feed into each other. A general stereotype that tends to hold up is that the right wing prioritizes fiscal matters and the left wing prioritizes social matters. Both have a lot of valid reasons for doing so and I think both make our government run. It’s essential for governments to care about both sides and that balance is one of the (few) ways the two party system really works. In this way, the federal government works as an investor, putting money and resources into policies that will “pay off ” either monetarily or through social welfare. But every now and again an issue will come up that can benefit citizens both fiscally and socially. Naturally, our representatives — apparently elected because of their ability to legislate well — find ways to be divisive on those issues anyway. Take subsidized college education as an example. There are obvious social benefits to having access to education: the ability to specialize in a field and therefore pursue that field in a way you otherwise couldn’t, exposure to other students from different places and different experiences who can enhance your worldview, and the opportunity to have an intermediate step between high school and professional work and all of the benefits that come with that. Those are just a few examples. But there are also fiscal benefits. Increased education leads to increased innovation, which would make America a better competitor globally in science and technology. With that competition come more job opportunities in the US, job opportunities that require specialized training that could be filled by college-educated students. In another vein, humanities education is geared around critical thinking skills, which are applicable in any professional field and would increase the value of those workers. Now all of this increased value for workers, innovators or companies leads to increased GDP, which leads to increased money flow, which leads to increased tax revenue. In other words, the investment pays for itself. Maybe I’m short sighted here, but I just can’t understand the right wing argument against it. Which tends to be because SOCIALISM, *gasp*, or the idea that it’s just lazy people

But if we have the two parties working together to create an efficient system, I don’t see why can’t make good investments that will pay off fiscally and socially for the American people.”

“I Can Play the Piano” who don’t want to work to pay for their own college. I want a government that makes smart investments, so to me this is an easy one. But it’s not just education. There are similar lines of thinking when it comes to health care, which also has ultimate social and fiscal benefits. Both of these areas have proven systems in nearly every other developed country in the world, and are considered basic staples of government responsibility. I get that the government is full of wasteful programs, that people take advantage of the system and that the inefficiencies of the government make subsidized education and health care less appealing. But if we have the two parties working together to create an efficient system, I don’t see why we can’t make good investments that will pay off fiscally and socially for the American people. We are just over two weeks out from presidential debate season starting and although I’m not too optimistic, I really hope there can be meaningful conversations about policy issues like this. I hope that our representatives in Congress can start to find ways to help their constituents through bipartisan work. And I really hope our government can start functioning as a good investor.

How ‘bout them apples?

Jarrod Nelson Socialized

In Hendersonville, North Carolina, they hold the Western North Carolina Apple Festival every year on Labor Day weekend. The festival itself features a surprisingly small amount of apples. In all my time there I only tasted around six bites of apples in a blind taste test done by a kindly old group of gentlemen. The gentlemen, I am sure, weigh customer feedback very heavily when doing their acreage calculations on what they’ll be growing next spring and summer. They need to be growing more Honeycrisp, less Red Delicious, and the exact same amount of “Sweeties” as were there. “Sweeties” taste like a Red Delicious mated with pure molasses and then pop out the most gorgeously red and sharply sweet fruit you ever did see. In contrast to those kindly old subjects of a Robert Frost poem, there was, literally right across from them, condemnation of “sodomy” by three “big boned” men to whom the North Carolinian sun had decided not to grant any quarter. All of them were bald, wore sunglasses and generally looked like Keystone Kops versions of Secret Service agents. They were also sweating so much that they looked like they’d gone through a misting fan the size of their overcompensation.

Masculinity is a fragile, moldable thing. That was when I realized what my semester had been missing. Right there, at the Western North Carolina Apple Festival, I knew why campus has seemed so quiet, so gray. It wasn’t the state legislature breathing down our necks like a starved wolf or a modicum of hope when it came to our chances of winning the SEC. It was the “preachers”. See, with only one Friday class, early in the afternoon, I’ve been able to avoid the usual hustle and bustle and facing of my sins by whichever man, manipulated child or screaming cleric is out on Ped Walkway telling me that I’m living my life wrong. I probably am. But it is weird. How do they know me so well, anyway? I don’t think they stalk me. Even my ego won’t allow itself that kind of centralization. I think applying Occam’s Razor here and assuming that they assume that everyone some kind of sinner allows them a wider market share. It seems like a gruelingly depressing way to live life. I can’t imagine something more exhausting than thinking peoples’ eternal fate depends on how angry you act towards them and I’m a college student. I live with a chemical engineering student. I see pain and exhaustion on a daily basis. But those

guys on Ped and the guys at the Festival have something special. At least I think special is the word. What compels them to go out there? Why stand on Ped and scream? Why go to an apple festival and sweat through your awful fitting suit just to yell at people about how you’re better than them? They often yell about being selfless, but when I see people like that it strikes me as the height of arrogance. In my last column I had something of an existential crisis. I encourage you to read it. I encourage you to read everything I write because my ego is at least that centralized. I struggled with whether writing actually does anything. Can that ever be activism? Does that really cause a change? Or do you need to really go out there and sweat to change minds? I don’t know if I have an answer still. But at the Western North Carolina Apple Festival, lots of people saw those guys sweating. And they walked right past to the mist.

Thank social media for Donald Trump Ian Raper Interconnected

Donald Trump is likely the most polarizing figure in the country in the past 50 years, and yet he is poised to have a very legitimate chance at claiming the presidency for himself. He owes his success almost entirely to media — primarily social media. You see, social media may be new and different, but it is still media. It still has to capture and keep the user, reader, or viewer’s attention. For centuries that has meant one thing: be bold and be simple. The New York Times and many other news outlets are instructed to write at a sixth grade reading level, trying to hit the lowest common denominator and pull in the widest audience. The principle is the same for headlines in news publications. The headline needs to stand out as much as possible while also being quick to read and understand. This idea is the cause of the common complaint of sensationalism or complete misstatements in headlines. Social media relies on the same basic principles, meaning content which is short and sweet has longevity in the popular culture. Snapchat and Twitter are prime examples of this in action. Both limit the amount of content a user can publish, forcing them to condense their post into a smaller, more

dense package. Trump excels at essentially creating the headlines for the media outlets himself. This skill makes for easy sharing across social media platforms. Every headline with Trump is a simple concept, a vague yet rallying statement, or a short and controversial quote. There is a formula here, and that formula works. Present Trump with a complicated problem and you are given a simple response. For example, the question of “How do we cut back on illegal immigration?” is met with an answer millennia old: build a wall. “How can we curb extremist violence at home?” Ban Muslim immigration. These are simple, understandable concepts that can be understood by the voters with the lowest of IQs and can fit within 140 characters of a social media post or a short video clip. What could be more simple a statement than “Make America great again?” It conjures emotion of a better time that may or may not have existed, without actually suggesting any changes. Not only is this a campaign slogan, it is an answer that Trump often provides to important questions, in debates and interviews alike. It succeeds only by being short, simple and able to con-

jure emotion in a heartbeat. What keeps Trump in headlines most of all, however, is his ability to produce a controversial quote. One that is either short in of itself, or is easily summarized. For instance, Trump has had plenty of headlines regarding his comments on the murderous and sexually violent tendencies of Hispanics. More recently, he commented on Hillary Clinton as not having a ‘presidential look.’ It is in no way relevant to the election, yet articles were written and posts were made. Trump is doing the exact opposite of what Bernie Sanders was doing with his campaign. He is relying on the simplicity of his messages (though largely void of actual relevance or meaning) to cause a reverberation around the internet. Sanders failed as he tried to use the ideas behind his more complicated message to spread from individual to individual through intellectual discussion, a process that works much more slowly. Trump found a very successful formula and it wouldn’t be surprising to me in the least if it is the winning formula.

Local hibachi serves up East Asian cuisine on a budget Bryanne Brewer Arts and Culture Editor

East Tennessee is one of the last places this westerner would expect to find relatively authentic East Asian cuisine. However, I think I hit the jackpot with Osaka Hibachi & Sushi. I’ve tried Hibachi Factory, which I didn’t enjoy at all — small, tasteless scallops just aren’t my favorite — and Jai Dee and Nama are fine and dandy, although a tad pricey. Osaka Hibachi & Sushi offers a Japanese menu and a Korean menu, which is especially spectacular as this is the first time I’ve seen Korean BBQ offered in a restaurant near campus. At first glance, the restaurant looks small and unpromising, wedged between other tiny, unappealing businesses. When I visited there were only three other people in the open dining area, which was a tad off-putting. Handwritten signs lined the interior windows, describing five dollar lunch specials which are offered every day. Despite its rugged appearance, my companions and I took a seat at one of the booths. Upon sitting, we were immediately greeted by a kind server and I knew that I would not regret my decision to eat

there. After mulling over the surprisingly extensive menu — which included Hibachi combos, Donburi (rice dishes), Bulgogi (Korean ribeye) and various sushi rolls — we collectively decided on the Bulgogi, the Crunchy Roll, the Hibachi shrimp and chicken combo and an appetizer of crab rangoon. Now, the food wasn’t the best I’ve ever tasted by any means, but it was pretty darn good to say the least. For the low prices, they give you plenty of food — enough for leftovers and seconds. The Crunchy Roll was by far my favorite of the meals we ordered. It has avocado, crab, cucumber, shrimp tempura, with shrimp and eel sauce coating the outside. The fried rice that came along with my hibachi was plentiful, but lacked vegetables — or flavoring of any sort, really. It wasn’t too bad, but I would have liked a little bit more flavor-wise. On the other hand, the seasoning and flavors of the hibachi strip, chicken and zucchini exceeded my expectations. Overall, Osaka Hibachi & Sushi is a pretty solid place that is cheap and offers great choices of relatively authentic Japanese and Korean foods. If you would like to know more you can visit Osaka Hibachi & Sushi at 3349 Sutherland Avenue.

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

FOOTBALL

Ford’s built tough — Vols prepare to handle Hokies receivers Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor

Isaiah Ford has been a topic of discussion this as the Vols defense will look to stop him. Ford recorded 11 receptions and added 117 receiving yards and a touchdown last week against Liberty. However, defensive coordinator Bob Shoop seems to be worried about the receiving core as a whole. “That’s as good as a receiving core as there is in college football,” Shoop said at a press conference Wednesday. “Isaiah Ford has caught a lot of footballs and is one of the top receivers in the ACC. (Bucky) Hodges creates unique matchup problems with his sides and (Cam) Phillips had a good week last week.” Senior defensive back Cam Sutton will have his hands full with this receiving core on Saturday, but head coach Butch Jones says that Sutton will not follow Ford around all game because of the depth of the Hokies receiving core. “The challenge with Cam matching him (Ford) up is they’re very, very talented across the board in the receiving core,” Jones said. “When you give Ford a lot of attention then the other wide outs can beat you as well.” Taylor, Phillips deserving to play- On Thursday in the win against Appalachian State, Darrell Taylor and Kyle Phillips, who were big names coming out of fall camp, did not touch the field. Taylor and Phillips, both defensive ends, were both limited last season as Taylor was redshirted and Phillips was forced to miss most of the season after

being injured early on. Coach Shoop said on Wednesday that both have continued to stand out in practice and deserve to play. “Those guys deserve the opportunity to play and we’re going to need those guys this week for sure,” Shoop said. “They earned it. They need to play a little more.” Special Teams preparing- Virginia Tech’s special team units was always a strong point in the Hokies game plan when Frank Beamer was coach. Beamer took over as Hokies head coach in 1987 and retired at the end of last season. Beamer led Virginia Tech every year from 1993-2015. When asked about Cameron Sutton, #23, and Todd Kelly Jr., #24, run to make the play against Appalachian State the Hokies special team on Sep. 1, 2016. prowess on Wednesday, Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon Butch Jones said that the team is “right where of in-game adjustments we had to make growth, the recruiting has been outthey left off ” last year when Beamer was based on what we were getting ...
