Prosecutor calls Anthony case ‘immense undertaking’ Hannah Davis Contributor
Samantha Smoak Online Editor A middle class home in a normal Orlando, Fla., neighborhood holds a dark past. Jeff Ashton, prosecutor in the trial of Casey Anthony, spoke to more than 60 students in the UC auditorium Tuesday evening about his experiences with the trial and the uniqueness of the case. “It was a six-week trial and it was an immense undertaking,” Ashton said. Ashton characterized Anthony, who was accused of murdering her then-2-year-old daughter in 2008, as a master of lies. “The hardest thing to do is to consistently maintain a lie over time, because it’s hard to remember things you made up … but not for Casey,” Ashton said. “She’s amazing that way. She can tell these stories and they always come so true because they’re so detailed and … complex.” In Ashton’s opinion, Anthony’s behavior was atypical for a truly distraught mother whose daughter had not been seen for 31 days. During the initial 911 call placed – while the victim’s grandmother can be heard panicking – the victim’s mother remained unemotional. “The … voice you hear (on the 911 call) is a very calm, cool and collected Casey Anthony,” Ashton said. On flyers posted to find her missing child, Anthony is depicted with a big smile, and during the 31 days before

Prosecutor Jeff Ashton shows off the marker-board of witnesses his team called in the Casey Anthony murder trial. Ashton spoke Sept. 24 at the UC and later signed copies of his book, “Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony.” Caylee – Anthony’s daughter – was reported missing, the mother was photographed participating in a “hottest body” competition at a club that she and her boyfriend frequented. Over the course of a few
months, evidence was compiled to refute Anthony’s allegations, which claimed a babysitter abducted her daughter. Eventually, Anthony accused her father of sexual molestation during her childhood and
the disposal of the body after he found the child drowned in the pool. Ashton claims Anthony consistently lied to investigators and hid the truth. “Typically when you catch
people in a lie, most people will show the evidence of that,” Ashton said. “They’ll start to stutter, they’ll change their facts and eventually they’ll break.” See CASEY ANTHONY on Page 2
Jones welcomes Fulmer back to football practice Garrett Ahmad Contributor Phillip Fulmer has not been to Haslam Field since 2008, his last year as head coach of the Tennessee football team. However, Fulmer returned to the practice field Tuesday, this time as a spectator wearing a dress shirt and tie alongside some of his former players. Head coach Butch Jones allowed Fulmer to speak to his UT squad, where he talked about the history of the program and what it means to play for Tennessee. Jones was thrilled to have the former national championship coach at practice preaching to his team. “It was great to have coach Fulmer at practice today,” Jones said. “He also spoke with the team and had a great message for them. It’s a pride of who we are. We are one Tennessee,
800-plus program wins. So to have him back, I think meant a lot to everyone.” Jones has formed a pleasant relationship with Fulmer, which he uses to improve his knowledge of the game. “Any time you have a resource like Coach Fulmer, we talk football,” Jones said. “We talk a lot of football, just like with Coach Majors, as well. I want to get as much information as I can, on football, on the University of Tennessee (and) their great teams.” Jones emphasizes unity among the past Tennessee players and coaches, and values what they can provide for the program. “It is those relationships with these type of individuals (that) really mean everything to me,” Jones said. “Because people make a place and we have great people here.” See FOOTBALL on Page 5

Freshman Maurice Ash sings “I Believe I Can Fly” at Mahogany Soul Cafe in the Black Cultural Center on Sept. 24.
Open mic night highlights talented students, calms fears Victoria Brown Contributor For many, an open mic night is a terrifying situation they hope to avoid at all costs. For Corey Hodge, coordinator of the Mahogany Soul Cafe, it is an opportunity to bring a welcoming community of talented people to the university. “Mahogany Soul is a great event because it’s open for everybody,” Hodge, junior in interdisciplinary programming with a focus in Africana studies, said. “You had blacks, whites, you had males and females, all classes of individuals and people who were older. We definitely had
a great outcome and different mentality.” Mahogany Soul is held once a month on Tuesday nights throughout the semester. It is sponsored by the Office of Minority Student Affairs, and began the series in 2002 to give students a chance to display their talents locally to a group of students and friends. Performers usually sing, rap, read original poetry or perform an instrumental piece. John Ransom, senior in economics, uses the performances to gain exposure for his rapping talents. “I have a mixtape coming out soon,” Ransom said. “And I was

spreading the word.” Mahogany Soul provides an environment for people to express and grow personally as well. For some, the night gives each a chance to overcome their jitters and nerves. Maya Johnson, freshman in food science and technology with a concentration in predental, said she loves to sing and hopes that with repeated performances she can eventually get over her nerves. “I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be and to have people welcome you to the stage makes you feel even more welcome,” Johnson said.

Each year, approximately one million kids drop out of school in the United States. City Year, a paid mentorship program, seeks to combat this problem with a unique approach: stationing volunteers as teaching assistants and personal tutors in innercity classrooms to encourage and support struggling students. Currently, four UT graduates are members of the City Year corps of volunteers. On Monday, City Year National Recruitment Manager Tim McGee made a visit to campus to talk about this opportunity, as well as the recruitment process. Focusing primarily on grades 3-9, City Year pools volunteers from universities around the country. “That’s where we recruit; that’s where we find our talent,” McGee said. “We have about 2,700 corps members this year who are all in the classrooms as we speak working, and about 80 percent of them are college graduates.” As one of the UT graduates working for City Year, Gabrielle Clark is working at a high school in south Philadelphia. “I was really interested in nonprofit organizations, and as I researched them, I came across City Year,” Clark said. “I think UT students should definitely apply for City Year because, while we are earning our four-year degree, it is beneficial to give a year to the younger generation and help to change the world. We are the volunteers, so giving a year would be the right thing to do.” Over the course of a year, City Year members work in conjunction with inner-city public schools where students are dropping out at the highest rates in the country. Some of these schools have dropout rates of 50 percent. At the end of their service each City Year member receives a $5,550 Segal Education Award to be used for student loans or graduate school tuition, and is also eligible for scholarships available only to City Year alumni. Currently, there are 25 U.S. locations and two international institutions where students can find tutoring in math and English, hopefully helping them proceed to the next grade level. “We are there before the kids arrive, meeting them as they get of the bus and getting them fired up for a day of learning,” McGee said. “Sometimes we play music and dance, and you’ll find that the students really do respond to it.” See CITY YEAR on Page 2

Peace Corps offers Vols alternate post-grad route Clint Shannon Contributor
A lot can happen in two years. Knowing your efforts could help struggling nations abroad, would you agree to spend those two years volunteering internationally? Two former Peace Corps volunteers led an information session on Tuesday night in Hodges Library, recounting their individual experiences living in Africa. The Peace Corps, an independent U.S. government agency, sends volunteers to work in more than 70 countries around the world that have requested assistance. Amanda McRoy, who led the session, is a Peace Corps veteran of Cameroon and UT recruiter. Since coming to the U.S., she has become a graduate student studying speech language pathology. “Our main goal is world peace and friendship,” McRoy said. “We’re an organization that promotes and works in sustainable development.” Before venturing to a foreign country to teach others, Peace Corps volunteers must complete three months of training in education, health and HIV/ AIDS, business and information communication, environment, youth and community development or agriculture. Counting the training, volunteers serve for a total of 27 months. Madison Langseth, a UT graduate student who served in
Sierra Leone, said she advises volunteers to shape their work around their own interests. “The really cool thing about Peace Corps is that you can tailor your experience however you want,” Langseth said. The safety of volunteers is among the top

priorities of the Peace Corps. Volunteers receive training in behavioral customs, judgment and cultural differences to reduce risks. A security officer and guidance counselors also reside in each country, all of which have passed safety screenings. McRoy said she recalls a loving and supportive community watching over her while abroad. Langseth recounted the cultural shock upon arriving in Sierra Leone. The use of corporal punishment in school children was difficult for Langseth to witness. “My hardest part of the experience was probably dealing with corporal punishment,” Langseth said. “So there they
still flog in the schools. They beat them [kids].” While the Peace Corps provides housing, electricity and running water may not be available in all locations. There are no fees for volunteers to participate. At the end of the two year term, $7,425 – before taxes – is given to each volunteer for their transition back to normalcy. McRoy incurred a difficult readjustment to life in America. “It was really hard to come back after 2.5 years of feeling like what I was doing mattered and was fulfilling,” McRoy said. Her experience, she explained, continued to shape her even after leaving Cameroon. “You learn things about yourself and about our culture and other cultures but you never stop looking back and reflecting and growing,” McRoy said. Brittany Bonner, a junior in communications studies, felt the session provided important details which only a veteran volunteer could offer. “They answered a lot of questions that weren’t available on the website as far as their personal experience,” Bonner said. Encouraged, Bonner now plans to apply. “I didn’t know if I was qualified enough to help,” she said, “but I feel more reassured that they will give me the proper training and put me where I will work the best.” For more information, visit www.peacecorps.gov or email UT’s Peace Corps representative at peacecorps@utk.edu.
CITY YEAR continued from Page 1 During the school day, City Year works alongside teachers in a collaborative effort. “We are in the classroom with the teacher 7 out of 9 periods during the day, but we can do pullouts for behavior issues as well as math and literacy interventions,” Clark said. Aside from encouraging the students academically, City Year aids with community and school improvements by organizing service projects, supervising clubs and facilitating after-school programs. “We do several things outside the classroom such as planting gardens and painting murals,” Clark said. “We do anything we can to make the learning environment a little bit more welcoming.” For more information on City Year, visit www. cityyear.org.

Freshman Lucy Schulz looks over print materials at the Study Abroad Fair on Sept. 25. The fair sought to show students the many opportunities they have to go abroad while they are in school.
Study Abroad Fair brings overseas opportunities to aspiring students Legg, Ph.D., that focuses on travel writing and documentary filmmaking. Legg is a strong advocate of cultural immersion, and said that all students should embrace the unfamiliar. “I think everybody ought to study abroad,” Legg said. “We get so used to being in America where we’re so big and so homogenous — even though we have small differences, we’re basically all the same, speak the same language — and I think there is tremendous value to be had in going somewhere where all of a sudden you become the minority and you have to deal with another language and with other cultures and ways of doing things.” Students such as Shelby Cundiff, a freshman double majoring in linguistics and psychology, had the opportunity to talk to program leaders like Legg. Cundiff said her desire to study abroad stems from a passion for adventure. “I really enjoy traveling,” Cundiff said. “I’ve traveled a lot, and I like the idea of other cultures and experiencing new things, so studying abroad and getting my degree while doing that is
ideal.” In regard to her major, Cundiff said she believes her language studies will play a key role in choosing a location. “I think knowing different languages opens up a lot of my options because I know for a lot of the programs in Europe and especially South America, speaking Spanish opens up the entirety of South America to me,” she said. “Speaking a language and learning linguistics and the culture of different languages helps with people, placement and options.” Several peer advisors from the study abroad office also attended the fair to recall their personal encounters. Thien Mai, a senior majoring in supply chain management and minoring in international business and economics, has completed both an internship in London and a program in France. “I was able to learn things that I could not have learned in the confines of the classrooms,” Mai said. “It helped me find out what I don’t like and what I like and just to be independent and on my own.”
“That’s why I came, to hear more about it,” Koeler said. “I thought it was intercontinued from Page 1 esting just how the whole Ashley Koeler, freshman prosecution worked. in journalism and electronic “The most interesting media, was drawn by the part to me was how he laid headlining topic. out the map of how he was

An American in Paris. Or London. Or almost anywhere. Approximately 800 students gathered in the UC Ballroom on Wednesday for the Study Abroad Fair. Manning 62 tables, 70 faculty members and volunteers were stationed to provide comprehensive information about the program, as well as specific destinations. Heather Grigsby, a study abroad coordinator, said she believes the fair affords students the opportunity to consider many possible trips at once. “In my opinion, the Study Abroad Fair is an opportunity for students to come and browse all of their different study abroad program options,” Grigsby said. UT’s programs abroad department offers internship opportunities, summer and mini session programs, semester programs and fullyear programs in 54 countries on six continents.

Forty years after it was established in 1956, Long’s Drug Store offers a nostalgic feel for Knoxville natives who long for simpler times.
Andelyn Barclay Contributor
A little more than 2.5 miles from campus, in a sometimes overlooked shopping complex, Long’s Drug Store has stood as a Knoxville landmark since 1956. The store is divided into two sections. The drugstore portion offers items found in any Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy: personal hygiene products, over-the-counter medications, an assortment of candy and an isle of UT merchandise. The other side of the store contains a soda fountain, with the menu offering items such as burgers, homemade chicken, tuna salads and milkshakes. “I love it here,” Elizabeth Beckham, an employee of Long’s Drugstore, said. “It brings you back in the olden days, like in the ‘80s, the way the booth is and the napkin holders. It’s just stuff like that. It’s just a very homey atmosphere.” The nostalgic feel of Long’s stems from its long history. Co-owner Jim Peck said that Long’s originally belonged to Clarence Long, a pharmacist that began working at the Ellis and Ernest Drugstore, which was built on the site of what is now the UC. Peck said it was a success from the moment he opened his own store in March of 1956. “Anything that Dr. Long put in down here sold really well,” Peck said. “They had a mens store next door, a cloth shop, a shoe shop on the corner and several other things. It was a nice shopping center.” How did Peck come to own
Long’s? He said it started when he got a job with Long in 1959. “I was still wet behind the ears when he was killed in a car wreck in 1966, and from that point to now I’ve had to be the one,” Peck said. “My brother came to work with me for a while before Dr. Long passed away. He and I owned the store together for about 35 years.” Peck said after his son Hank finished pharmacy school he wanted to work at Long’s, but first went elsewhere to gain experience. After Peck’s brother was ready to get out of the business, Hank stepped in and bought his uncle’s share in Long’s. The pair now co-own the store. “Hank and I have been here probably for about 15 years together,” Peck said. “So it’s been fun to work with your brother and your son all your life.” Even though Peck and his son have owned Long’s longer than the original owner did, they still chose to keep the name. “When my brother and I took over and we were approached about the name change, we figured he was better known than we were, so we left it alone,” Peck said. Whatever they are doing, it seems to be working. After more than 40 years, Long’s is still open for business. Michell Wilkerson is a lifelong customer of Long’s and sees something unique in the shop. “I’ve been coming here so far back I can’t remember,” Wilkerson said. “I was little, probably 4 or 5 years old when I started coming here, and
I brought my children here since they were born. They ate their first French fry here in their little car carrier.” Wilkerson added that she comes to eat breakfast and talk with friends every morning, Monday through Friday. She said the atmosphere of Long’s is what makes it special. “People get to know each other, and they sit at the counter and talk,” Wilkerson said. “They care about each other.” Peck said that his secret lies in his employees. “The folks that we have working here have learned that if they spoil people, they’ll come back,” Peck said. And the people that keep coming back are not just families. “Last week, some of the football players were here eating and Justin Worley was in here,” Drew Hudnall, a Long’s employee said. “When he was on his way out I caught him and I asked him if he’d throw a pass to me, because I had a football in my car, and he said okay. So we went out there and he threw a pass to me. It was a 10 yard completion.” It is moments like this that set Long’s apart in the eyes of the employees and customers. “All you have to do is be a people person,” Peck said. “All you have to do if you’re open for service is give service. And when the phone rings, you don’t talk to a punch-onepunch-two. You talk. We don’t use one of those machines. We probably need to sometimes because people will wait, but they know they’re not going to get passed around. “It’s a little bit old fashioned, but some old fashioned things are better.”

Sunday, September 29 What: UT Symphony Orchestra Performance When: 4 p.m. Where: Alumni Memorial Building Price: Free Claire’s Take: This is a great opportunity to see UT’s talented symphony perform the works of Wagner and Verdi as part of this year’s music season theme “Old friends, new beginnings.” Get classy with your Sunday afternoon and go check out this event.
What: “The Art of Dining in Knoxville” book signing with author Joy Bateman When: 6-8 p.m. Where: Union Ave. Books Price: Free Cortney’s Take: The past several days have been full of exams and paper deadlines. So why not end the week tasting food with the author of “The Art of Dining in Knoxville,” Joy Bateman? Books are fun anyways, but this one is about food, so it will be especially tasty.
OPEN MIC NIGHT continued from Page 1 Cullen Johnson, freshman in computer engineering, performed a saxophone solo piece. He said he was persuaded by his friends to perform this year and will probably return to perform again. Many newcomers feel jitters initially, but say that being on stage helps to alleviate their worries. Johnson notes that he was nervous before, but all of that evaporated when he took the stage. “Once I started playing, I wasn’t (nervous),” he said. The entire event has a welcoming environment, with the crowd supporting each performance. When the artist is a first-time performer, or a “virgin to the mic,” the encouraging phrase “go on with your bad self” is thrown out from
the crowd in order to lessen his or her nerves. The audience engages with the performers as well, with some chiming in song lyrics or giving words of encouragement when a performer seems a bit flustered. For regular performers like Hodge, part of the enjoyment in writing and performing comes from being able to use his spoken word poetry to bring attention to things that happen in America and the

Knoxville community. Hodge wants to continue to perform for the rest of his life. “Performing is a way for me to express myself, so (I want to perform) every day ... every time,” Hodge said. All are welcome to either watch or showcase a talent. The next Mahogany Soul Cafe will be held on Oct. 29 in the Black Cultural Center. This will be the last Mahogany Soul event of the current semester.

Gun safety will kill prospects of peace Uncommon Sense by
Evan Ford
Driving through Dandridge, Tenn., I found myself staring down the barrel of a gun. The gun was part of a bumper sticker proudly pasted onto the back of a Dodge Ram. Normally I would write off the cliché of a country-living, truck-driving gun lover. This time, though, the caption twirling around the pistol stuck to my memory: “Think twice, because I won’t.” A lot has been said these past few months about gun control and the priority of self-defense, especially following the Zimmerman case and the easing of gun laws in Southern States. Thirty-one states – including Tennessee – have adopted so-called “Castle” laws. Under these laws, if a person invades your home or threatens your life, you have the right to shoot and kill them, even if they don’t have a deadly weapon. This summer, the argument moved even closer to home when Tennessee courts passed the “Guns in Trunks” law, which allows for loaded firearms to be on school property provided they’re locked away in a car trunk. I understand the motivations behind this move, but I question the policy of increasing the number of guns in order to promote peace. Knowing you can fire back is not the same as knowing no one will shoot at you, and that’s the reality that more guns creates. Is that what we want? Gun advocates argue for what’s called the “Cold War Principle” — when one person has a deadly weapon, the only way to keep them from using it is the threat of force from another deadly weapon. In mass shootings, gun groups argue that a gun-owner could stop the shooter before he or she unleashes too much carnage. “If only,” they claim, “there had been someone there with a concealed weapon.” This argument took a hit last week when one shooter killed 12 civilians, including himself, at a U.S. Navy Yard. Although soldiers have restricted gun rights on bases, there were military police present at the shooting. Though trained to deal with this situation, they were too surprised and unprepared to stop it. Can we expect civilians to be more poised and prepared? When a poised, prepared mass murderer gets in a shootout with a shocked citizen, who gets caught in the crossfire? Still, it’s hard to deny that, theoretically, a civilian with a weapon could – and on occasion does – prevent a murder from ballooning into a mass shooting. Still, how do we make sure that only the right people get guns? Concealed carriers only prevent crime if criminals think there’s a threat that their victims will be carrying. According to NBC News, six million citizens now report carrying a concealed weapon. Thus, of the 313 million Americans, only 2 percent can be expected to carry a gun. We would need a lot more legal guns in the hands of potential victims to scare away criminals. And since every illegal gun starts as a legal gun, that could lead to many more illegal guns too. Don’t believe me? In 2009, when undercover New York City private investigators admitted to gun sellers that they couldn’t pass background checks, 19 out of 30 agreed to sell them guns anyway. Fact checkers at the Washington Post say that between 25 and 40 percent of gun sales are completed without background checks. Add to this all the guns stolen, sold by corrupt owners and bought legally by non-criminals who turn criminal, this means a lot more shady guns out there, possibly in the hands of criminals. This brings us to our last question: is it worth it? I, for one, do not want to feel that I need a weapon to ensure I won’t be killed in public. I don’t want fear as reason for peace, and every citizen who gets angry or drunk or crazy to reach into their waistband and start firing shots. I never want to shoot someone, even if I’m called a hero for doing it. I don’t know if we need more or less police officers, more or less gun-free zones. I do, however, know that our goal is for less people to get shot and killed – to achieve peace. Carrying a weapon can make you safer, but not through peace; your safety is achieved at the fear and threat of death. Evan Ford is a junior in philosophy. He can be reached at eford6@utk.edu.

It’s a reflection of how perfect something just was, one in which I can look back at the grind that lead to that perfection. To put it in terms everyone can better appreciate – imagine a football team lined up, about to take the snap. The clock is ticking and we need a score. Our offense has sputtered with a few running plays that came up short of a first down, but our punt returner just left us with great field position in the waning moments. We’ve been busting it all afternoon, and with only a few seconds left to play, the other squad’s defense is panting, gasping for breath between plays and sporting sweatladen faces. Despite a few rough patches from our defense, they’ve held the score to within six. This mental image reflects a different situation – your situation. You sit at a moment where you will soon

Robert Neyland – better known as “The General” – outlines how to set up a perfect play in his Seven Maxims. “Ball, Oskie, Cover, etc” are all fundamentals and imply that the key to victory lay somewhere beneath all the little things. “Don’t let up… put on more steam” encourages us to push through the rough times, and sometimes the best way to handle a problem is to throw everything you have at it. Be it a test by doing more practice problems or getting a rock out of your driveway with a sledgehammer, sometimes it just takes more steam. Most importantly, “Play for the breaks and when one comes your way – SCORE.” Here is the point, playing for the breaks is about setting your pieces, wearing down your opponent, being vigilant and striking the moment a great opportunity presents itself. You as a student are setting your pieces now by doing well in classes and learning what you need to know to find success in your chosen path. You are wearing down your opponent by beating them to the professors for letters of recommendation. You must be ready for when the opportunity comes your way – SCORE.

Societal view of ‘slut’ needs to be modified Knight Errant by
Victoria Knight I attended a Taylor Swift concert in Nashville, Tenn., on Friday night. Aside from being awestruck by her performances, I also enjoyed the pep talks she gave in between songs. One of the speeches which really struck me alluded to the criticism she has received by the media and the population in general. Taylor has been particularly noted in the media, not for any criminal behavior, but because most of her songs are about love and feelings and because of the “many” boyfriends she’s had, most of which are celebrities. Both in the media and among the people in my own life, I’ve heard it said that she’s crazy and has problems because she’s had so many relationships. On the surface level, the statement might seem reasonable, but digging in a little deeper we find an inherent flaw in societal thinking. Taylor Swift is reported to have had six famous boyfriends, though many were essentially partaking in what we college students often call “talking.” Yet, her relationships and break-ups are splashed across the front pages. In contrast, Harry Styles, one of the stars of One Direction whom Taylor dated, has also purportedly had six famous
girlfriends, and he’s three years younger than Swift. But there is no widespread criticism within the media about Styles’ flings. With this observation, the double standard begins to be further uncovered. If you talk to the average 22-year-old female, it is likely that she’s had several boyfriends, and then probably several others who she’s talked to, texted, hung out with and possibly considered a love interest. None of which were actual boyfriends; in total, the number would likely equal at least six different guys. The average 22-year-old male number for these would likely not differ. But women are likely to be more criticized for it. The same trend for sexuality continues. According to a study by the Health Survey for England, women have a mean average of 4.7 sexual partners in their lifetime, while men report having 9.3 different sexual partners in their lifetime. Despite the number difference, a woman with a “large” number of sexual partners is called a slut and looked down on as she does her “walk of shame” home, while a man is called a ‘player’ and given high fives by his buddies. Miley Cyrus’ recent performance at the VMAs can even be seen to hold to this sexist double standard. Miley was labeled as trashy, slutty and un-classy by, well, everyone, while Robin Thicke, who is married and has children, received almost no criticism for allowing Miley to dance on him while singing the rape-reminiscent lyrics to “Blurred Lines.” On a college campus, the word “slut”
gets tossed around daily in a casual manner. Walking around the Strip on a Friday night, one might hear anything from the derogatory usage – “she dresses slutty” – to the more friendly instances –calling friends “slut” in jest. The categorization of a woman as a “slut” can come from many arbitrary actions – anything from wearing high heels and short skirt, flirting with guys and texting them all the time or even just not committing to being in a relationship. For men no such classifications exist and so this twisted view of relationships and sexuality is continually being re-enforced by society. By using the word “slut,” we also are acquiescing to what this word actually does, which is defining women by appearance and the possible number of sexual partners they have had. Men also need to stop judging women based on the number of sexual partners they may have had. There’s no number too big or too small to disqualify a woman from deserving love and respect. In a society that prides itself on becoming progressively more feminist, we need to respect women, whatever the number of sexual partners they have or haven’t had. Bottom line: Stop “slut” shaming, and for Taylor’s sake, don’t use the word “slut.” Victoria Knight is a senior in biology. She can be reached at vknight6@utk.edu.

go out into the world, and you want to get a perfect start for it. You have studied, written papers, taken tests and sacrificed sleep to get the good GPA, the recommendation letters from your professors and the confidence in your knowledge to kill an interview. The play clock is ticking down. The center snaps, the tight ends block, the O-line holds off the fury in front of them. We’ve spent the entire game utilizing the fundamentals, and our opponent is exhausted. They might be nervous about the run game – we’ve been leaning on it all game – but this is the time for a big play. Our receiver makes a great jump off the snap. The corner watching him hesitates for fear of the run. The receiver cuts hard across the middle to the far post. The drunken guys who played football in high school rise from their seats; they see what is about to happen. Our quarterback takes another step back – eyes quickly darting to and fro – taking in the chaos before him. In an instant, he fires it long, and the rest of the crowd jumps up. The wide receiver expands arbitrary separation from his long lost defender as he pulls the ball in and carries it to the checkerboard. This is how I imagine a perfect play or life-decision; the only reason it worked out perfectly is because all the pieces were set ahead of time. Famed Tennessee coach

THE DAILY BEACON • 5 Sports Editor David Cobb
SPORTS FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 Vols lacking “splash� plays After only five plays of more than 20 yards in UT’s losses to Oregon and Florida, Jones is emphasizing the importance of “splash� plays in the offense. “You need big chunk plays, we need somebody to turn a 5-yard hitch into a 35-yard gain and that helps the quarterbacks as well,� Jones said Monday. One player who fits that description is sophomore wide receiver Pig Howard. After missing the Oregon game with an injury, he accounted for two plays of more than 20 yards against Florida, as well as an 18-yard touchdown catch. In addition to being a dangerous receiver, the UT staff is learning on the sophomore to make plays as a runner. Against Western Kentucky, Howard picked up 20 yards on an end-around play. Junior quarterback Justin Worley rates him as one of the offense’s most important players. “He’s a great asset to our offense,� Worley said. “He brings an explosive player, a guy that can turn a bubble screen into a 60-yard touchdown. So having him in the slot, it just provides a sure hand for us out wide.� Worley added that his comfort level with Howard is “very strong.� Senior offensive lineman Zach Fulton also understands the importance of explosive plays for the offense. “It’s hard being an offense without any momentum, period,� Fulton said. “We’ve got to get some of the momentum going. We’re going to need explosive plays to get that momentum going and get everybody riled up and the offense moving on.�

Women’s tennis has high hopes for newcomers Garrett Ahmad Contributor
Most college teams have to deal with youth in some way, but the Lady Vols tennis team is taking that to a whole new level this season. Out of the 10 roster spots on the team, six are freshman and the four players that do have experience have a combined eight years of collegiate tennis under their belts. Even Kayla McMurry, the team’s lone senior and a walk-on from Knoxville, is inexperienced. In her three years so far, she has played in 22 singles matches and six doubles matches, giving her the least amount of experience of all the upperclassmen. Despite an unusually young team, co-head coach Mike Patrick is happy with what he has seen so far in practice before the season opener on Friday in the Furman Fall Classic. “This is probably one of the better groups we’ve ever had,�
Patrick said, “We had probably one of our best practices in years yesterday as a first day of team practice with a young group. They’ve bought in, and they’re getting better every day.â€? Even with the confidence he has, Patrick understands his Matthew DeMaria • The Daily Beacon team needs time to grow, so he is tempering his expectations for Junior Caitlyn Williams returns a volley with a forehand against the Arkansas Razorbacks at the Dr. Robert L.

Lady Vol Brewer comes from long line of athletes Marina Waters Contributor
Imagine the pressure of being the younger sibling of an NCAA Division I athlete. Now add in three more. It’s a lot to live up to for the youngest sibling. But that’s exactly what Lady Vol volleyball’s freshman setter Abby Brewer is doing. Completing a family tradition as the fifth, and youngest, Division I athlete of the Brewer family, the Arizona native comes from an impressive lineage. Brewer’s two oldest brothers, Chase and Charles, both received scholarships to play baseball at UCLA, and are now players for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Then there’s Brewer’s older sister, Ashley, who
swims at USC. Her other brother also received a scholarship and is a member of the Arizona Wildcat football team, where he is a quarterback. Brewer described growing up in a house full of athletes in a single word “Hectic,� Brewer said, laughing. “It was really crazy, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It was really fun getting to be with everyone, watching all their games, and supporting them.� But Brewer has more than just her sibling’s accolades to be proud of. The 6-foot2 setter has quite a resume of her own. Brewer earned MVP and all-region honors at Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Ariz. She was also on the Arizona Sky and Revolution club volleyball teams, which were both deemed the top teams in Arizona while she was a member.
Pepperdine, San Diego State, Santa Clara and SMU. But Tennessee had something other schools did not have that stood apart for Brewer — a drive to win. “The moment I talked to the coaches I knew,� Brewer said. “I didn’t even have to come to the school. Just how much they wanted to win was what I liked — it was their competitive drive.� However, the coaches are not the only ones with high aspirations. Brewer hopes to play overseas, try her hand at sand volleyball and aspires to go into news broadcasting. But of course, sports broadcasting would also be a perfect fit for the youngest of the Brewer athletic dynasty, as she already has a wide variety of sports knowledge and experience as a college athlete. After all, it’s in her blood.
Her success on the court, as well as her overall athleticism, has carried over to Knoxville as well. “Abby is a very experienced setter,� head coach Rob Patrick said. “Abby has an ability to play at a very high level really early in her career.� However, volleyball was hardly the only sport in which Brewer found success. Before sticking with volleyball, she did gymnastics, swimming and earned MVP honors on the softball diamond. “Since I was about 12, when my oldest brother Charles started getting offers from D-I schools, I knew I wanted to play a D-I college sport,� Brewer said. “So, I knew I wanted to quit softball, didn’t really like swimming, so I decided to play volleyball and I knew from the beginning I would do anything to get to a D-I program.� Brewer received offers from
