Some threats on social media have resulted in arrest and sightings have been reported, but no KPD officer has actually seen a clown. “We’ve had people call in with alleged sightings, but we have yet to confirm any of those,” Rausch said. Police are beginning to stress the legal

UT rises on list of veteran-friendly colleges Priya Narapareddy Staff Writer
The University of Tennessee has been nationally recognized as one of the best colleges for veterans, according to recent U.S. News and World Report rankings. In the 2017 U.S. News and World Report list of Best Colleges for Veterans, UT was ranked 31st among all public universities and 66th out of all public and private universities, according to a news release by the Haslam College of Business. UT has climbed 18 spots since last year’s list was published. Jayetta Rogers, UT’s Veterans’ Affairs coordinator and school certifying official, said she is thrilled to see that UT has moved up in the rankings for veteran-friendly colleges. “Our office strives very hard to make sure our veteran students have the resources they need to be successful,” Rogers said. This is the first semester for the UT Veterans’ Resource Center that has become the hub for veteran-related programs and support. The center looks to aid veterans in any questions or concerns they may have and to provide a comfortable place to study and relax. Rogers said along with the opening of the Veterans’ Resource Center on campus this semester, the university is
CLOWNS continued from Page 1 Someone who makes threats on the internet about the clowns will likely not receive the same level of a punishment. If a prosecutor cannot prove a concrete threat from statements, then there is no legal ramification. Hemant Sharma, a political science professor specializing in judicial law, shared the legal viewpoint of the threat itself. “The Supreme Court hasn’t really clarified the meaning of a term called true threat, so when it comes to statements made on the internet there can be some grey area in determining whether the first amendment applies or not,” Sharma said. “If the language poses a risk of what we call imminent lawless action it does not derive protection of the First Amendment.”
students looking to make a quick yet smooth transition into a new career field. Trent Thurman, executive director of graduate programs at the Haslam College of Business, said veterans often possess skill sets related to leadership and management. Thurman said working under extreme pressure has equipped many veterans with skills applicable in business. “In some cases they’ve led troops into battle,” Thurman said. Student veteran Chris Walker said he was drawn to UT because of its high rankings for agriculture and business programs. Walker served in the army for eight years and is currently in the Jayetta Rogers, Veterans’ Affairs coordinator army reserve.

It is illegal in Knoxville to wear a mask to intimidate someone else. However, this ordinance does not include clowns who might wear makeup or an outfit. Unless actual illegal action is taking place while in costume, clowns are free to continue scaring the public. “Just dressing up and ... wandering around the community, that’s not illegal,” Rausch said. “But it’s not very smart at this time.” If KPD were to receive a call about a clown, they would not be able to legally arrest the citizen, but the department would not simply ignore it either. “We’d identify who they are, and we’d give them some good advice about what they’re doing and about the dangers they’re putting themselves in and that it’s not funny,” Rausch said. What makes prosecuting individuals even more difficult is that there is not much precedent for dealing with these types of actions. Since only threats
have been reported, taking legal action is more difficult compared to crimes like assault or stalking. “This is kind of a novel area in the law. There isn’t a whole lot of case precedent on people running around in clown suits,” Sharma said. “The clown mask, I’d have to say, is certainly an evolving area of law at this time.” With Halloween arriving, KPD is worried that partiers who forget to take their masks off will be mistaken as the possibly threatening clowns. “You’ve got adults who are going to parody this,” Rausch said. “Don’t go out in public that way because it’s going to cause people concern, and then you’ve got police resources being utilized to address things that really don’t need to be addressed.” For students and Knoxville citizens, although there have not been any confirmed sightings, safety is still important. Residents are asked to call 911 if anything suspicious is seen.

Student starts vintage UT clothing co. Annie Tieu
Contributor A UT student launched an online business, selling vintage UT apparel found throughout Knoxville. Baker Donahue, junior in communications, started In With the Old, which finds vintage UT apparel and resells it on Instagram. Each item of clothing is unique and customers place bids to purchase the clothes. This year, In With the Old became a limited liability company with Donahue owning 100 percent of the company. Though he is the sole owner, he eventually plans on bringing in a business partner. The idea to create In With the Old came last fall. He was inspired by the vintage UT clothes fans were wearing on game day. “I thought, ‘What if there was a centralized location to buy all this stuff,’” Donahue said. “Maybe it’s a store; maybe it’s a website.” The idea wasn’t a priority until he and a friend worked on it this past summer. They decided to use Instagram as a medium to sell the clothes. “I wanted to concentrate solely on one

social media outlet. You see companies with Facebook pages, Twitter pages, Instagram pages, LinkedIn pages,” Donahue said. “I mean, there are so many things to look at about one company, so I wanted to focus in on just one: being the best at Instagram.” Donahue said Instagram is set up perfectly for this type of business. The picture and caption serves as the product and its description, and people can place their bids in the comments section. He and his colleagues find the products through thrift shops around Tennessee cities, such as Knoxville, Nashville and Chattanooga. He also finds Tennessee apparel through eBay, Etsy and Poshmark. Donahue is still a UT student, and the business can be time-consuming. “Running this right now is the borderline between a hobby and a job,” Donahue said. The business operates like any other with people specializing in certain areas, like design or accounting records. Will Reynolds, a senior in graphic design, helps with graphic design for the business. Unless Donahue decides to make an executive decision, Reynolds is in charge of presentation, such as organizing the photoshoots

on Instagram and any graphics that go into props. He also helps manage the company’s Instagram account and helps find new products. “We want to have a retro, nostalgic feel but also a very fun and entertaining feel,” Reynolds said. “So we can translate that into any of the graphics as well as any of the photos and any environment that we’re creating.” Reynolds is aware of the importance of interactive design in attracting and keeping customers. “The way that we present our items on social media is key to our business, because it is interactive,” he said. “Our customers are coming back to it because it’s an engaging experience.” Reynolds and Baker were already friends when he got involved with In With the Old. He described the process as being “very organic.” He was just a friend helping out another friend. As Donahue looks forward, he plans to create an official website for his company. He wants to have a section on the website where local Knoxville stores can sell their products on the website for a commission. He has also considered buying vintage
items at wholesale, while still keeping the one-of-a-kind aspect and some of the vintage products being non-UT related. The future of the business and its longterm plans are still under debate. “That’s kind of the struggle right now because we’re still learning as we go,” Donahue said. As a limited liability company, Donahue has considered adding on subsidiaries and having them pay commission to be a part of the business. “If we could hit every SEC school that was paying headquarters a commission, then I can see it being profitable and possibly a fulltime job,” Donahue said. While many ideas run through Donahue’s mind, such as having professional thrift shoppers at each university to send him the products to sell, he focuses on his motivation for the business. “I love doing this stuff, and I think other people would, too,” Donahue said. “ Running their own business, I mean, it doesn’t get much better than that.” To check out more about In With the Old’s products, find them at https://www.instagram.com/nwiththeold/.

I can’t be proud to be a TN Vol anymore This letter is being published anonymously for the author’s safety and to protect the author’s identity. It was submitted on Friday, Sept. 30. Daily Beacon: We can’t ignore the events two days ago at ETSU. We can’t ignore the events last week at UT and the many others that have plagued our university over the past 2 years (and since our university’s inception). I know you know the history. Our state has been plagued by racism, sexism, inequality, and flat out hate and bigotry for far too long. I’m abroad right now. I shouldn’t have to feel embarrassed and ashamed and have to overcompensate for my rhetoric, my accent, my dress, because of the connotations surrounding the phrase, “I’m from Tennessee.” And that doesn’t even compare to all the ways minority communities on our campus have and have had to kill their true selves and monitor how they act every moment. Why? Just to be “socially acceptable”, just to earn respect, just to not be targeted, just to survive (except at football games because that’s the only time we can make room for minorities). It begs the questions: to be “socially accepted” by whom, to earn respect from whom, to not be targeted by whom, to not be attacked, persecuted or killed by whom. I used to wonder why, we as Tennesseans are so caricatured in the eyes and minds in people
who are not from our state. But now I understand after going abroad a couple of times. The state of racism and hate and violence against minority communities in my home, in my history, in my education is very much alive and well, it’s thriving, it’s growing and we-as in white people-let that happen (since ya know we hold most of the positions of power in our state; it’s pretty blatant). It’s as if outsiders know more about Jim Crow in our state and on our campus than our professors, our chancellor, our governor, our board... our fans. Maybe, they are Jim Crow. Maybe, they are Jim Crow. I wonder if they just sit back and count their tokens: A black one there, a gay one there, some Latinos over there, a disabled Veteran there (ooh we can double count them). Diversity is not Monopoly just like life is not a game of random chutes and ladders. No wonder people from Brussels, from London, from Edinburgh, from Bangalore think that I’m racist, that I hate Muslims, that I see women as merely bodies, that behind that veil of “Southern Hospitality”, they see violence. They don’t say it, but I see it, I feel it in their patronizing eyes, in their hesitant voice, in their cautious and aloof body language when they first meet me. I know you’ve had the same feeling. I’m not proud to be from Tennessee. I’m not
proud to be a Vol. Our state is beautiful, but Jim Crow is blooming, strangling our survival. They tell us to work harder, learn more, learn this, learn that, then we’ll make it to the top 25. We’ll never make it to the top 25 if we don’t learn empathy. The good thing is that quite a bit of us do care. We have professors that are inclusive in the classroom and rally for social change outside of it. We have families that hear our laments; they encourage us. A lot of Tennesseans are understanding, and they get it, but we still have lots of work to do if we’re ever gonna heal, if we’re ever gonna find peace. And it starts with showing up for justice. If I was in TN, I’d be coming to protest on Oct. 4 at 1:45 PM in the Humanities Ampitheater. It’s not convenient, but we know it’s right. I’ll still wear black in solidarity. My inspiration for the day is Nina Simone. Check out this interview: http://youtu. be/0qL3nHvliN4. And of course check out her music. Hope you come out next week and support and learn and know and feel who you are and who your friends are. As young people, “We will shape and mold this country. It will not be shaped and molded at all anymore.” Written by white guy with more privileges than you can imagine. Written by a white guy who gives a damn.
How do we handle bad news?
Kimberly Bress Real World Problem Solving
Whether flipping through pages of a periodical, scrolling through headlines in a browser or perusing social media feeds, we are constantly surrounding ourselves with the news. More than any prior generation, we have the ability to stay informed about events both within and beyond our immediate communities, in almost real time. Although technology is sometimes criticized as a contemporary evil which impedes young adults from engaging in the real world, many would argue that it enhances our connection with global events and the people affected by them. Modern media, from the use of hashtags to blogging, allows individuals to not only read the news, but also respond, interact and engage with it. The constant accessibility of news can quickly amount to sensory overload. Even though you aren’t standing shoulder to shoulder with protesters in Charlotte, sifting through debris in Aleppo or sitting in a chair at the Presidential Debate, exposure to these events through media can sustain a profound affect your mental health. Although we may read the news in the relative safety of our homes, threatening, dangerous or disturbing headlines can trigger the brain to produce a biological stress response. The inter-
nalization of negative stimuli can have a sustained effect on outlook and mood, resulting in a more pessimistic perception of neutral events. A study by researchers at the University of Ontario found that regular exposure to images of violence can result in symptoms of traumatic stress disorders, including anxiety, depression and stress-related physical illness. Other researchers have echoed this notion of vicarious traumatization, showing that the severity of traumatic stress symptoms directly correlates to the amount of time people spend watching the news. It seems wrong to claim that news of a disaster causes us pain. As I scroll through pictures of the victims of a police shooting or rubble of bombed homes, how can I have the audacity to mention my sadness? Empathy is essential, but it is also distressing. Even though we are tucked away from the throes of unrest about which we read and watch, we are not exempt from their emotional effects. As a generation in the height of the information age, we are caught between a rock and a hard place. While we cannot just sweep unpleasant news under the rug (lest we run the risk of becoming ignorant), we must also protect ourselves from becoming emotionally and
cognitively overwhelmed. Awareness of the ways in which news affects us is important. We need to stay informed, but at what cost? How much bad news can we handle? An effective consumer of information cannot bite off more than they can chew. In addition to reading the news, we must leave ourselves room to swallow and digest it. We must assess how we feel and consider how we will respond. If you are becoming overwhelmed by the endless stream of abrasive headlines, the negative campaign ads and maliciousness of social media, take a moment to separate yourself from the news. I would recommend you go for a walk, talk with a friend or check out a positive article or two (http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ is a great resource for feel good media bites). Then, once you are ready, you can return to the tweets, posts and notifications, armed with the desire to stay informed, the prudence to be engaged and the compassion to be concerned about the world which surrounds us and the headlines which describe it.

Knoxville welcomes Cereus Bright home Jenna Butz Special Projects Editor
Cereus Bright got by Friday night, and every night, with a little help from their friends. Knoxville-based folk-rock band Cereus Bright found themselves back home on Friday, Sept. 30, playing a headlining show at the Bijou Theatre for friends and family who have supported them from their first EP. The five-piece band, formerly a duo consisting of lead singer Tyler Anthony and mandolinist Evan Ford, walked onstage to a more complete setup than they had in the past. Now, three more permanent members have been added, Luke Bowers on drums, Matt Nelson on bass and Jake Smith on guitar. Their stage presence and setup has the feeling of a band that knows what they want and how to achieve it. Though this was also the band’s first hometown show since the release of their first full-length album, “Excuses,” there was a sense of comfort and familiarity during Cereus Bright’s show. It could have been nerve-wracking to come home with a new sound and a virtually new band, but Cereus Bright and Knoxville welcomed each other with
open arms. Even when they introduced the new music, it felt like it had already been accepted by the audience. After all, Knoxville has seen the band grow through EP after EP of purely folk music to a full record of heavily rock-influenced Americana. Over and over again, the audience applauded almost too long after each songAfter nearly every song, the band smiled so big and with such appreciation for their hometown. However, it was the band’s encore where they really showed their love for Knoxville. As is tradition, the band stepped back out to sing their track, “Cereus Bright,” which longtime fans quietly sang along to as the band crooned in the light of just a few naked lightbulbs. After, when many fans expected the show to be over, Cereus Bright invited members of their opening band, Swear and Shake, and a few members of nowretired, Knoxville favorite The Dirty Guv’nahs to come on stage and sing an energetic rendition of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends.” It was messy, it was passionate, and it was fun, with different members jumping in. Instead of rushing out when the show was over, as often happens, fans ran upstairs to the band’s merch Tyler Anthony of Cereus Bright performs at the Bijou table just for the chance to congratulate their friends on a job well done. on Friday, Sep. 30, 2016.

New with an old twist: Shovels & Rope Jenna Butz
Special Projects Editor For Shovels & Rope, it’s all about mixing the tried-and-true with the new and exciting. South Carolina Americana duo Shovels & Rope, consisting of husband Michael Trent and wife Cary Ann Heart, started the first leg of their fall tour at the Bijou on Thursday, Sept. 29, to support their latest release “Little Seeds,” which comes out Oct. 7. Their set included a heavy mix of new music, but these new songs didn’t alienate an audience that already adored the band’s first three albums. Instead, the new blended well with the old, keeping the same sound fans know and love without being too repetitive or stale. “We’re still learning it,” Cary Ann Heart
said of their new music. “Thanks for coming along for the ride.” The audience, though relatively still and confined by the seating in the Bijou Theatre, applauded and cheered for each new song and were just as enthusiastic about the new songs as the ones they are knew and loved. This show had more of a rock feel than previous one, showing the heavier influence of traditional rock n’ roll in the new album. While the husband and wife duo has never shied away from being too loud before, the addition of flashing lights and a backdrop of videos and photos projected across the stage brought a more complete feel to the show. Previously, it was just the two of them, Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, with their killer stage presences and a simple backdrop being more than enough, but the new additions added a level of intensity and rock that fans didn’t even know they needed.
Nothing was overdone; it was just the right amount of flashy and grit that reflected the band’s growing sound. What really got the audience though was when Shovels & Rope broke out their first hit, “Birmingham.” The first line from Hearst was answered with hollers, applause and anyone who was still in their seat jumped to their feet. This second to last song reinforced the electric chemistry of the pair. The duo, though they never kiss or display their marriage on stage (in fact, Trent, when a fan yelled for him to kiss Hearst, said, “Y’all are weird”), has a connection that fans feel from the stage. It’s exciting and electrifying to watch the two-person band fall in love with their music, each other and each performance — and that’s what keeps them fresh and exciting every song and every album.

Staff Writer Driving long distances can be enjoyable for some, but for those who dislike it, a soundtrack for your drive can make it a little less dreary. The right music can put you as the star of your own movie, driving off into the sunset or at least keep you distracted in standstill traffic. Early morning drive Pixies – “Head Carrier� – Alternative/ Indie Rock The Pixies is a Boston-based band that formed in 1986, disbanded in 1993 and then reformed in 2004. Joey Santiago and Black Francis formed the band while attending college at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After college plans didn’t work out, Francis and Santiago spent their time working in a warehouse and writing songs. The Pixies’ core sound revolves around a generic rock style, but with influences from the pop and indie genre. Their overall sound is much quieter than typical rock groups, especially the vocals. The overall effect makes their songs hang around the same dynamic level, with few exceptions on the album. Some of their other influences included Nirvana, Radiohead, The Strokes, Blur and Weezer.

ing, especially if we are talking before 7 a.m. territory. The music is energetic but not jarring. Their balance in instrumentation shows qualities of more “retro� music with a modern twist. Especially since the band originally started in the mid-80s, it is apparent that their music has evolved with the rest of the musical world, but they’ve retained a unique sound that’s immediately recognizable. Nearly all the songs are good for a driving playlist, except “Baal’s Back,� which is the third track on the album. It starts off with a very headthrashing, metal feel. While the style isn’t bad, it’s probably not something I would listen to on a drive while the sun is still hiding.
Rating: 8/10 Nostalgic drive with a best friend Yellowcard – “Yellowcard� – Pop Punk This is Yellowcard’s 10th and final studio album by the Jacksonville, Florida — and now Los Angeles — based band. This June, the band announced that this album and the following tour will be their final one. Their formation occurred while the members were attending the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, and came up with the name with a gimmick they used in high school — whenever someone did something stupid at a party, they would give the person a “yellow card.� Yellowcard shares similar sounds and style evolution with bands like Simple Plan and All Time Low. Their original sound started with a very punk, rebellious style, but transformed into a more polished form of anarchy. Some of their previous styles can be found as influences in their newest album. Typical instrumentation style is fairly consistent throughout the entire album. The “punk� vibe is no longer lyrics filled with rage and parental dissatisfaction, but mostly the tone of voice and song structure. My favorite song on this album has to be “Rest in Peace,�

which can be about not regretting the decisions you’ve made throughout your life or the upcoming end of Yellowcard.

Rating: 7/10 Late night drive to a party scene The Black Sorrows – “Faithful Satellite� – Blues/Soul/Rock The Black Sorrows is an Australian band that specializes in blues rock. It formed in 1982 and recorded 17 albums to date. They went on a hiatus from 1998 to 2004, but then promptly got back to making soulful music. They started off as a band playing R&B covers, but now write their own original content. Their sound started in the early ‘80s and hasn’t changed much. The R&B influence from their cover days is apparent in their music even now. Some aspects of jazz can be detected as well, making their sound very fluid between three to four related genres. Brass instruments, “church choir� vocals and piano add to the culture of the sound and make it a rich album. Some songs on the album are much slower than others, revealing more of the blues side. For a night out, be sure to choose tracks such as “Raise Your Hands� to get your blood pumping and singing along (once you replay it enough). Songs like “It Ain’t Ever Gonna Happen� will more than likely put a damper on your night though, so take caution if you decide to listen to the entire album without adjusting your playlist first.

How to beat Str8ts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are formed.

Vols take soccer victory Damichael Cole Contributor
Hannah Wilkinson had two goals as the Vols got the win 2-1 in overtime. She now has 71 points for her career, which is fifth in program history. The Vols dominated the game, but just couldn’t find the back of the net enough to put it away. They had a season high 32 shots including 15 shots on goal. “Shooting has always been the area that we have continuously been working on,” Wilkinson said. “I think the team did really well with their intent to score.” Defensively, the Vols were strong. The plan going into the game was to pressure the ball, and they only allowed six shots for the game with just two on goal. Unfortunately, one of the those two shots on goal found the back of the net and was the equalizer. Tennessee carried a 1-0 lead all the way until the 84’ and allowed a goal to tie the game up just before the end of regulation. They allowed the Sycamores to hang around, but luck clearly wasn’t on their side in regulation.
They spoiled a penalty kick and had another header that bounced off the cross bar. The Vols didn’t want to settle for a tie, so they couldn’t let the shocking result bring them down. Head coach Brian Pensky told the girls “it’s time to own this.” The overtime period didn’t last long. 1-on-1 with the goalie, Wilkinson lofted the ball over her head for the game winning goal. The two goals gave her 28 goals for her career. She is now tied for third all time in program history. Pensky was cautious of her shot choice, but was very happy with the end result. “I said nice goal and I told her ‘I was about to strangle you when I saw you looking to hit it,’” Pensky said. With two big SEC matchups coming up next week, it’ll be crucial for the Vols to take advantage of their opportunities going forward. “I think it was definitely vital to win today,” Wilkinson said. “As you near the end of the season, you definitely want to have as many wins as possible.” The Vols go to LSU before returning home Sunday against Texas A&M.

Tennessee beats Georgia 34-31 Associated Press ATHENS, Ga. — Tennessee works on the play every week in practice, just in case. Throw it up and hope for the best. It couldn’t have worked out any better: a Hail Mary that gave the Volunteers their most improbable comeback yet. Jauan Jennings hauled in a 43-yard pass from Joshua Dobbs on the final play, leaving No. 11 Tennessee with a stunning 34-31 victory over No. 25 Georgia after the Bulldogs appeared to win the game on a long TD pass of their own with 10 seconds remaining Saturday. “It was a crazy play, stuff you dream about,” Dobbs said. In all, the teams combined for three touchdowns in the final 3 minutes. The Vols (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) rallied from a double-digit deficit for the fourth time in five games, but none of the others were like this. Not even close. The SEC East rivals packed a whole game’s worth of action into a back-and-forth ending, starting with Tennessee going ahead for the first time all afternoon by recovering a Georgia fumble in the end zone with 2:56 to go. Then it was the Bulldogs (3-2, 1-2), going ahead when Jacob Eason tossed a 47-yard touchdown pass to fellow freshman Riley Ridley. With the Sanford Stadium crowd celebrating like their team had won, Tennessee took the kickoff into position to take one shot at the end zone. Dobbs hurled a towering pass that the 6-foot3 Jennings didn’t really have that much trouble bringing down. He leaped above the scrum to
make the catch, and then landed on his back as everyone on the Tennessee bench charged the field to celebrate. “I just know to go get it,” Jennings said. While the Vols whooped it up with their small, orange-clad contingent in a corner of the Sanford Stadium, Georgia straggled off the field in disbelief. “I’ve never been part of something like that,” said Greg Pyke, a senior offensive lineman. “We won the game. Then, next thing you know, we lost the game. It’s heartbreaking.” Georgia’s early 17-0 lead had been trimmed to 24-21 when Eason dropped back to pass from his own end zone, tried to pull the ball down and was crushed by two Tennessee defenders, Derek Barnett and Cortez McDowell. The ball came loose and Corey Vereen fell on it for a touchdown. That wound up being an afterthought. Eason had another turnover, this one an interception by Malik Foreman, but Georgia used a couple of its timeouts, held defensively and got the ball back again. This time, the young quarterback came through, quickly driving the Bulldogs past midfield and finding Ridley streaking behind two defenders down the left sideline. But Tennessee still had time, especially after an excessive celebration penalty forced the Bulldogs to kick off from their own 20. Evan Berry’s 20-yard return got the Vols in range to throw one up. When Jennings brought it down, Tennessee coach Butch Jones sank to his knees, overcome with emotion, while Vols running back Alvin Kamara sprawled out on his back, seemingly in disbelief. “We have the most competitive team in the nation,” Dobbs said. “There’s no quit in this team.”
