‘Truth Live’ tour partners with Cobra Starship David Cobb Assistant News Editor Cobra Starship lit up the stage in ThompsonBoling Arena Saturday night in an effort to discourage UT students from lighting up. The band’s stop in Knoxville was its fourth visit to a college campus in four days on the inaugural “Truth Live” tour, a campaign devoted to raising awareness about “the truth” of what tobacco can do. Patricia McLaughlin is an Assistant Vice President for Legacy, the foundation which funds and directs Truth, an initiative born out of a 1990s lawsuit settlement with tobacco companies. “People who come to the concert are going to see tobacco-related facts,” McLaughlin said. “They’ll see the installations of artwork that illustrate tobacco, and (they) could potentially win a Tshirt. So we think it’s a really fun way to get our message out, not in a preachy way.” The message got out before the concert with an event in Presidential Courtyard featuring giveaways and activities. Russel Fliwinski is a tour rider with Truth. He was among those facilitating awareness of the concert and the meaning behind it through interaction with UT students. “Everybody had a lot of fun today,” Fliwinski said. “I’m sure there were a lot of people in the dorms who didn’t really come out today because they were partying last night or whatever, but everybody that was outside had a really good time. And everybody was really stoked that Cobra Starship was here for free. It was probably one of our better responses just because everybody was
like, ‘Free concert? That’s awesome.’” The decision to have Cobra Starship as the headline band on the first ever “Truth Live” tour stemmed from a relationship that Truth formed with the group through its role in previous “Vans Warped Tours.” “It’s really rad,” Fliwinski said. “They just got off a tour with Justin Bieber, I think, so it’s pretty big. A lot of people know who they are. It’s really awesome to get a band like Cobra Starship to support this, because a lot of bands have mixed feelings about tobacco and the message and stuff like that. But to have somebody come on board and be like, ‘Yeah that’s an awesome thing what you guys are doing and we’re all about it’ is really awesome.” Truth’s target age group is people between the ages of 12 and 24. McLaughlin said that the objective is to try and reach that demographic through things the generation already cares about. “What we try and do is never preachy,” McLaughlin said. “It’s never talking down to people, because they’re going to go do that then. We try and make it about connecting with people through what they’re already passionate about.” According to Legacy, about 1,100 young people every day become cigarette smokers. When deciding where to stop on the “Truth Live” tour, McLaughlin said a combination of things were looked at, including smoking rates, the diversity of students who could be impacted by the tour and logistical aspects. “This is something we’d like to do again,” Fliwinski said. “We’ve gotten a really positive response. This is definitely a tour that people have responded well to and (that) I can see us doing again in the future.”

Meghan Mercer, graduate student in teacher education, recieved her shot from a nursing student during UT’s “Boo the Flu” event on Nov. 2, 2011.
Flu shots available at UT Justin Joo Staff Writer On Oct. 9, students, faculty and staff will be able to get a flu shot for $25 in the Student Health Center. The flu shot availability is part of an annual event held not only for flu shots to be given out to the UT community, but also to allow students enrolled in the College of Nursing to get clinical training. The College of Nursing supplies the staff for the flu shot event. Junior-level students will be working at the UT flu shot event and also at “Flu Shot Saturday,” which will take place at the end of October. Karen Lasater, clinical instructor in nursing, explained that working at UT’s flu distribution and “Flu Shot Saturday” are part of the Nursing 311 curriculum. She said that all of the nurses are well-trained and ready to give out vaccines. “They are fully prepared to do it,” said Lasater. “They’ve already given shots, so this is just one more way to give back to the community, as well as to reinforce the skills they’ve already learned.” Lasater also said that in addition to the more than the 100 nursing students helping at the UT flu shot event and “Flu Shot Saturday,” there will also be multiple clinical instructors available at both events. “The way the College of Nursing works … we have a 1 to 8 ratio when students are in the clinical setting,” Lasater explained. “So for every eight students that are at ‘Flu Shot Day,’ there will be one clinical instructor watching over them.” While the event is geared toward UT’s students, faculty and staff, Lasater said that no one will be turned away from receiving the flu shot.

She did encourage those who are not a part of the UT community to attend the upcoming “Flu Shot Saturday.” “We wouldn’t turn anyone down, of course,” Lasater said. “But with ‘Flu Shot Saturday’ being at several different local high schools and elementary schools … we really want the general public to go to these locations because obviously crowding the campus area might be a little hectic if we had all of Knox County coming in.” Lasater also said that they would prefer not to give the flu shot to children because most children can obtain a flu shot through their elementary schools. In the past, flu shots were administered in the UC. This year, however, the shots will be given in the Student Health Center. Phyllis Ryan, medical administrative assistant at the Student Health Center, explained this year’s new location. “Because of the construction at the University Center,” Ryan said, “it would be better to do it at the Student Health Center.” All proceeds from the shots will go to the News Sentinel’s “Empty Stocking” fund. The charity provides food and toys to the disadvantaged in East Tennessee. This is the 100th anniversary of the charity. The shots will be given out from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and will cost $25 with a UT ID. Cash, check and credit card are all accepted. Lasater encouraged everyone to get the flu shot, saying that it is one of the best methods to stop the spread of the flu. “We want everybody to get the flu shot,” Lasater said. “We really just want to help stop spreading the flu around and immunization is the best way to do that. “And wash your hands!” she added with a laugh.
That constant thump of bass wasn’t coming from the grand opening of Whiskey Dix. It wasn’t from Tin Roof or Rumorz either. It was coming from Circle Park. The Campus Entertainment Board hosted a “Rave DJ Duel” for the fall rendition of Vol Night Long from Friday night into Saturday morning. Chandler Lennon, senior in public relations and director for Vol Night Long, said that the event was partly inspired by student input. “At the end of every year, they survey the students,” Lennon said, “and the number one thing students say they want is programming free for them to do on campus that doesn’t involve substance, drinking, drugs and whatnot.” The substances of choice for the event were Papa John’s Pizza and Red Bull, a combination that made sense to attendee Shelby Smith, freshman in management. “College students are broke and they love free stuff,” Smith said. At 11p.m. a replenishment of the Red Bull supply was on its way as students trickled in and out of Circle Park. “It’s been really cool,” Lennon said. “At first we had to get through the whole awkwardness of starting the thing, because a lot of people were here, but they were just chilling outside because they didn’t want to be the first ones to go in. But once we finally got past that, it got going. A lot of
people come and a lot of people leave at the same time.” There were four disc jockies at the event, two of them playing hip hop and R&B music, while the other two spun electronic and dubstep tunes. “One of the concepts that I liked about doing this event is that I wanted to promote local talent, local UT talent,” Lennon said. “And they’re all UT students or have been. It promotes what we have here, instead of going out and bringing people in. We have talent on campus that needs the promotion. They were more than happy to play here.” “I think it’s a good idea for promoting sober parties and stuff like that,” Bryce Ault, undecided freshman, said. “I think they should do this more. The free pizza is awesome. They just need to promote it more.” Ault, along with fellow undecided freshman Rekesh Ali, heard about the event from a friend. “I was like, what, it’s in Circle Park, that’s crazy,” Ali said. “I like how it’s student-ran, and I don’t see any staff members around here.” Lennon said he wanted to provide something more applicable to the college demographic as opposed to a “carnival-type” event. “The point of this party is to move kind of into a rave, that’s more a college type of event that our age group, freshman and sophomores specifically, are interested in coming to,” Lennon said. “It’s to move away from that type of party that you’d see in high school, that’s high school sponsored, to a concert, party-type thing.”
Energy forum continues Anna Segovia Contributor The Baker Forum on Energy and the Environment continued with a lecture on how businesses can implement business strategies that can give back to the environment. Hosted in the Howard H. Baker Center, the Interdisciplinary Discussion Forums for Energy and the Environment featured Diane Mollenkopf and John Bell, associate professors of logistics, who presented solutions and strategies for business resource management. “We can no longer assume that natural resources are abundant,” Mollenkopf explained, addressing an issue she said will affect our economy in the coming decades. Despite the fact that natural resources

are being polluted or diminished while the population grows, many businesses have not taken natural resource scarcity into account in their business or supply chain models. Mollenkopf and Bell, specialists in supply chain management and natural resource scarcity, respectively, have been sharing their knowledge and research on how creating closed-loop supply chains will allow more sustainable supply systems. These systems also give the businesses that employ them a competitive advantage. Closed-loop supply chains are systems where businesses get products they disseminate to consumers returned to them in order to reuse the scarce natural resources within them. Those resources can include rare earth metals (in batteries, computers and other electronics) and other recyclable materials.

Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta sings to the crowd at Thompson-Boling Arena on Oct. 6. 2001 — President Bush announces military action in Afghanistan
1780 — Patriots prevail in Carolinas Patriot militia under Colonel William Campbell defeat Loyalist militia under Major Patrick Ferguson at the Battle of King's Mountain in North Carolina near the border with Blacksburg, South Carolina, on this day in 1780. Major Ferguson's force, made up mostly of frontier Loyalists from South Carolina, was the western wing of General Charles Cornwallis' North Carolina invasion force tasked with protecting Loyalist outposts from attacks by Patriots led by Isaac Shelby, Elijah Clark and Charles McDowell. Ferguson had declared that the Patriots could choose to lay down their arms or see him "lay waste to their country with fire and sword." Believing they could prevent Ferguson from making good on his threat, 1,000 Patriot militiamen gathered in the Carolina backcountry, including Davy Crockett's father, John. Learning of the Patriot force from a deserter, Ferguson positioned his Loyalists in defense of a rocky, treeless ridge named King's Mountain.
On this day in 2001, less than a month after al-Qaida terrorists flew commercial jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, President George W. Bush announces that American troops are on the offensive in Afghanistan. The goal of Operation Enduring Freedom, as the mission was dubbed, was to stamp out Afghanistan's Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime, which had aided and abetted al-Qaida and its leader, Osama bin Laden, a Saudi national who lived in the Afghan hills and urged his followers to kill Americans. In a televised address that evening, Bush informed the American public that "carefully targeted actions" were being carried out to crush the military capability of al-Qaida and the Taliban, with help from British, Canadian, Australian, German and French troops. An additional 40 nations around the world provided intelligence, as well as bases from which the operations were conducted. Bush touted the multinational effort as proof that America, in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, was "supported by the collective will of the world." He also warned that the war in Afghanistan would likely be only the first front in a long struggle against terrorism. He vowed to continue to take what he called the "war on terror" to those countries that sponsored, harbored or trained terrorists. 2003 — Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes California governor On this day in 2003, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is elected governor of California, the most populous state in the nation with the world's fifth-largest economy. Despite his inexperience, Schwarzenegger came out on top in the 11-week campaign to replace Gray Davis, who had earlier become the first United States governor to be recalled by the people since 1921. Schwarzenegger was one of 135 candidates on the ballot, which included career politicians, other actors, and one adult-film star. Born in Thal, Austria, on July 30, 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger began body-building as a teenager. He won the first of four "Mr. Universe" body-building championships at the age of 20, and moved to the United States in 1968. He also went on to win a then-record seven "Mr. Olympia" championships, securing his reputation as a body-building legend, and soon began appearing in films. Schwarzenegger first attracted mainstream public attention for a Golden Globe®-winning performance in Stay Hungry (1976) and his appearance in the 1977 documentary Pumping Iron. At the same time, he was working on a B.A. at the University of Wisconsin, from which he graduated in 1979. Schwarzenegger's film career took off after his starring turn in 1982's Conan the Barbarian. In 1983, he became a U.S. citizen; the next year he made his most famous film, The Terminator, directed by James Cameron. Although his acting talent is probably aptly described as limited, Schwarzenegger went on to become one of the most sought-after action-film stars of the 1980s and early 1990s and enjoyed an extremely lucrative career. The actor's romantic life also captured the attention of the American public: he married television journalist and lifelong Democrat Maria Shriver, niece of the late President John F. Kennedy, in 1986. With his film career beginning to stagnate, Schwarzenegger, a staunch supporter of the Republican party who had long been thought to harbor political aspirations, announced his candidacy for governor of California during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Aside from his well-known stint serving as chairman of the President s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under President George H.W. Bush, Schwarzenegger had little political experience. His campaign, which featured his use of myriad one-liners well-known from his movie career, was dogged by criticism of his use of anabolic steroids, as well as allegations of sexual misconduct and racism. Still, Schwarzenegger was able to parlay his celebrity into a win, appealing to weary California voters with talk of reform. He beat his closest challenger, the Democratic lieutenant governor Cruz Bustamante, by more than 1 million votes. — This Day in History is courtesy of History.com.

Forum discusses bacteria Owen Schumaker Contributor At UT’s weekly science forum, speaker Richard Giannone, a bioanalytical mass spectrometrist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), presented his work on potential biofuel development from bacteria found at Yellowstone National Park. According to recent statistics, the need for an alternative energy source to oil and gasoline is becoming dire, especially in the United States. The rapidly increasing demand for energy will soon catch up with the dwindling supply of these nonrenewable resources. An audience of around 25 students, professors and members of the public listened to Giannone describe his work and possible solutions to this impending crisis. Giannone is currently part of a team at ORNL working to develop an economically viable energy alternative to gasoline and oil from Yellowstone’s bacteria. The project is currently in its fifth year. When characterizing his work at ORNL, Giannone said, “My job involves a huge amount of data synthesis.” He added that he and his colleagues are “excited about (the project’s) future.” The consequences of not developing cleaner, cheaper and more efficient energy sources are evident. Current methods of obtaining fuel from oil, gasoline and coal are damaging to the environment and are proving to be unsustainable. Giannone noted that it is predicted that by 2030 there will be a 50 percent increase in the world’s demand for energy. The U.S. currently uses almost one-fourth of the world’s oil. He continued to emphasize that not only is oil a limited resource, but it also leaves a huge carbon footprint. Scientists like Giannone are working rapidly to
find ways to become less dependent on these resources. Ethanol, fuel from corn, is becoming especially popular in the search for alternative energy. Giannone’s research for obtaining energy from bacteria is to avoid competing with a major food source, as is the case with ethanol. While ethanol has the potential to replace a third of the U.S. transport demand, Giannone notes that it is more of a stopping point in conserving oil than a permanent solution. When looking for new sources of fuel, the main question to ask is whether or not the energy put into harvesting the new fuel is less than the energy it puts out. Part of what Giannone and other scientists at ORNL are doing is determining whether or not it is possible to harness enough energy from Yellowstone’s bacteria to make it a worthwhile source of energy. Giannone received a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and Biotechnology in 2003 from Rutgers and a Ph.D in Genome Science and Technology from UT in 2008. Kelsey Campbell, undecided freshman, believes that scientists like Giannone are doing important work, and she is considering majoring in environmental studies to join the cause. “I think the United States needs to get serious about solving the energy crisis. We are not making it enough of a priority,” Campbell said. “The job field is growing in this area, and I would like to be a part of making the world cleaner and more efficient.” There will be no science forum this Friday due to fall break. On Oct.19, Dana Dodd, president of Appalachian Bear Rescue, will speak. The UT Science Forum takes place in room C-D of Thompson-Boling Arena on Fridays from noon to 1 p.m.

Diane Mollenkopf discusses the closed loop supply chain at the Baker Fourm on Energy and the Environment on Oct. 4.
Developing these closed-loop supply chains would give those businesses that create them today an advantage in the future when these materials become scarce. Businesses will have a process to attain these materials, while other businesses will not. Most of the people at the forum were graduate students or faculty members. Elliott Iberg, sophomore in marketing, was encouraged by his professor to attend the lecture. Although he was
one of the few undergraduate students at the forum, Iberg felt the event was eye-opening for all ages. “I thought it was really interesting,” Iberg said. “Some of the ideas were really revolutionary. There seem to be some problems employing them, but it’s a great cause and these ideas would have a good impact on the environment. “They are changing how we view resources in general,” he added. The next forum in the series will be Oct. 18 at the Baker Center, with speaker David Tillman discussing how to provide food and water to a larger future population.

Allies help make positive change A few months ago I was listening to a mother describe an experience with her son. The two were having an incredibly cute conversation about romantics and love. The son raised a concern, attempting to inquisitively confirm that not all love came between a boy and a girl, but sometimes between a boy and a boy or and a girl and a girl. The mother assured him that this was the case, but she had to warn him of what others may think or do if he expressed his opinion. By no means did she try to suppress him; she just gave him the tools to be prepared for conflict. I was taken back by the mother’s story. It reignited a thought that has existed in my mind for a long time: we have a lot to learn from children. Certainly you can recall as a child, recognizing how different we were from each other. You knew that this or that kid came from a very different place from you, but it never mattered. They were still just other kids. Then one day we began to distinguish between types of different. We began to allow these differences to subtract from one another’s worth as a person. We let the compassion and love that came with us so naturally be damped by the learned behaviors of dislike and selfish fear. Whether we learned these things from our parents, teachers, media or our peers, we became players in the tainted discourse over how someone is measured better than another. I find it unsettling that we are often slow to growup in regards to taking responsibility for ourselves— that we frenetically cling to our childish characteristics of entitlement and reliance—but we are quick to grow-up in regards to closing our minds, to learning how to not care, and to establishing an ignoble sense of self-righteousness. These attitudes fuel oppression and inequality, big and small, broad and local. In the spirit of this column, I am choosing to focus on sexuality, but the implications of this issue are very inclusive. All people struggle with dealing with their sexuality. There are some who knew, early, that they
were not in a position to express their desires. They live in regions, communities and even families that will reject them. There are some whose most difficult moment wasn’t an awkward moment of puberty but a night spent alone in their room, trying to convince themselves to stop hating what they are. It is necessary for us to support each other through these struggles, whether trivial or detrimental. When I examine our population’s attitudes toward this need, I see two groups of people: those who will make things easier for others and those who will make things more difficult. I classify them this way for an important reason— one can be a supporter in the sense that they want others to live comfortably with equality and safety but never take a single action in an attempt to make a difference. All people need an ally, especially those who suffer. Change comes when those who are not affected by an issue develop sympathy for those who are affected. If you want to see change, you have to be it. Specific to sexuality, if you want to see the lives of LGBT (and really all with respect to their sexuality) people improve, you must be a fierce ally. It’s easy. You don’t have to learn to be an ally; you just have to allow yourself to be one. I think of the mother whose boy had a hard time understanding why others would have a problem with nontraditional love. But he didn’t seem to care what others would think of him for believing what he did. We have much to learn from this boy. Your principles should reign over your concern for your image. Said differently, your beliefs, your convictions, and your values are what should command your decision-making process, not the fear of what others will think of you when you act on these. — This is Jacob Clark and Brianna Rader’s third installment to our column on all issues surrounding sexuality and gender.

Take action to stay up on news G o and Go by
Julia Ross Dear colleagues—if you have been keeping track of this column, you know that for the past few weeks I’ve been talking about ways to “beat the system.” This is a highly relevant topic for students at large public institutions where it may often seem easy to slip through the cracks of a system that appears eager to homogenize its students. The responses I’ve received over the last few weeks support the idea that there are ways to succeed at UT. However, though, strict observance of the guidelines in the little blue advising book are not absolutely necessary, but many ideas on creativity and focus are required for all. For this next piece of advice, if you read The Daily Beacon, then you are likely at least one step ahead of many of your peers. This week, I suggest going a few steps further. Start reading at least one national newspaper or weekly news magazine regularly. If I had a nickel for every time someone I respect told me to do this, I would be able to purchase a subscription to The Atlantic for every student at Tennessee. That’s how valuable this tip is. Why has this advice been offered so many times? I have a few ideas. In order to “beat the system,” it is critical that you do not confine yourself to the system’s limits. One of the purposes of our undergraduate education is to prepare us for the world we will encounter after graduation. Of course, this responsibility goes far beyond the dissemination of technical knowledge, and I hope you agree that this responsibility rests on the students as much as on the institution.
Reading the news from a variety of sources is one of the easiest things you can do to ensure that you are at least in touch with the world that you are preparing yourself to enter. Opportunities open up for you when you can speak intelligently about major events and recognize the names and initiatives of foreign and domestic leaders. If you can engage in conversations on topics more substantial than the weather or last weekend’s game, you will find your professional mentors or references will be more willing to introduce you to people and to offer you new opportunities. Reading well-written news articles and opinion pieces should instill some level of humility in us as undergraduate students. It is ridiculous to assume that your 200-level economics course has fully prepared you to speak authoritatively about the US tax code over lunch with internship recruiters. It is better to use the applicable knowledge from our courses to understand the analysis offered by experts in major publications, and then to form our own moderate and wellreasoned opinions about contemporary issues. Humility is a virtue that we would all do well to remember. We should use these regular readings of quality new sources to improve our understanding of the complexities of the world around us. This being said, knowledge of world events should not take precedence over awareness of local events. Furthermore, make sure that you are reading, at least occasionally, selections from the premier journals in your field of study. Reading is the best way to find out what is happening in the world outside of Big Orange Country. — Julia Ross is studying microbiology and political science. She may be reached at jross26@utk.edu.

Sometime it’s hard to find an opinion about anything relevant. It takes hours of scouring viable and “trustworthy” news stations and websites to get a grip on what happened over the course of the week, especially close to midterms when we typically lose track of what day it is and begin functioning on caffeine and the steady schedule of our classes. The most I could garner from this week was an upset Big Bird, a very confusing situation on campus (again), and the fact that voters didn’t care that much about the presidential debate, because they ended up favoring the same candidate they had liked in the first place. As a society, our lack of attention to critical details concerns me. Yes, PBS can seem like a waste of space, but I have a lot of good childhood memories learning about numbers and letters from “Sesame Street.” When you learn the actual miniscule percentage of the national budget dedicated to PBS, it’s difficult not to question why anyone is worrying about it instead of the bigger issues at hand, such as Social Security going straight down the toilet. Maybe we’ve all just finally admitted that Social Security for our generation is a non-existent notion, or perhaps that we don’t like looking at the grand scheme of things because of how scary it is. Instead, let’s pick on a station that I would rather let kids watch over a movie about cars turning into huge machines or a cartoon about a baby who loves to bash his parents. As for the situation on campus, all I can do is hang my head. It’s hard as a student to know that there has been a great deal of negative attention directed at my university
over the past couple of years. From the time I first set foot on this campus until today, UT has undergone the most insane period of publicity that I have ever heard of, sans Penn State. Where are the “Big Ideas” and why are they not on the front pages of newspapers and headlines on the nightly news broadcasts? As a major institution known nationwide, the continual cycle of lying, cheating, firing, and restarting will continue to damage our national image in the long run. Something has to give. Someone has to change, and I don’t think it’s the coaches we’re playing hot potato with. Finally, the election is now less than a month away and I don’t hear any talk about it on campus. I hear even less from people my age. This could be because UT is located in a prominently conservative area of our country and students are less likely to speak out in favor of one candidate or the other, aside from well-placed political bumper stickers. How many of you attend the Republican or Democratic student clubs on campus? Do we even have an Independent club? Does anyone even care? Why are we such an apathetic group of college students? I’m blaming myself, too, as I have never made the time to attend one of these clubs. However, I’ll be voting and I know I am well informed on my decision.

‘Little Prince’ pleases crowd LP offers racy vibe Melodi Erdogan Staff Writer Revolving around themes of the wonders of insight through exploration and the dangers of close-mindedness in adults, Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s commentary and emotions are expertly translated in the UT Department of Theatre’s stage adaptation of the classic French novella “The Little Prince.” With an intimate theater setting and high-quality acting that had the small, yet considerable, audience laughing at one moment and in tears the next, the cast and crew does a great job connecting with each audience member. Saint-Exupery’s story tells about the encounter between a pilot whose plane crashed in the Sahara Desert, and a little prince, an other-worldly child who left his home planet far away. As the little prince recounts his adventure to Earth to find meaning in his life after finding the pilot, they soon develop a relationship and become close friends. “I thought it was very character-specific and fantastical,” said Chelsea Sparks, senior majoring in theater. “It was visually stunning and they did a good job telling the story.” The pilot, played by Terry Weber, associate professor of theatre, embodies the character of the narrator with his strong prominence on stage and his
immediate acquaintance with the audience from the initial start of the play. Weber represents the qualities of the pilot from the story and adds further emotion through his extraordinary performance. Cory O’Brien-Pniewski, second year theatre graduate student, played the little prince. In SaintExupery’s original story, the little prince is mysterious and philosophical, always asking questions but never answering any. O’Brien-Pniewski captures the Little Prince’s naïve, innocent perspective that questions responsibilities in life and adults and the way they speak and act. Adapting a written story into a stage production is not easily done, but the lighting and sound design from the crew made the transposition seamless. Using projection as a key tool for the mood of the play while lighting and sound made the perfect ambience for the words and acting to accompany it, these factors ultimately improved the show. Kolton Free, junior in College Scholars, appreciated the effort of the crew in lighting and sound design. “I liked all the technical aspects of the

show,” Free said. “How they put the lights up above on the top of the theatre as stars and those little things really pulled the show all together.” The Carousel Theatre was the perfect backdrop for the show. Its round shape gave the audience excellent views at every angle and was comfortable and unintimidating for the actors as well. The performance would not have been the same in a larger venue; the small stage ultimately elevated the story of “The Little Prince” and made it that much more enjoyable to watch. “The Little Prince” will play at the Carousel Theatre through Oct. 21.

Dance shows Indian culture Rebecca Butcher Contributor Steeped in South Indian tradition and colorful garments, the female dancers of the Ragamala Dance Company expressed the spirituality and richness of their culture. The Clarence Brown Theatre presented the Ragamala Dance group Thursday night, which was sponsored by the Cultural Attractions Committee and the
Indian American Association. The company’s founder, Ranee Ramaswamy, along with her daughter Aparna are the principal dancers and choreographers, with accompanying dancers also taking the stage. It may have been tempting to section off parts of the dance in order to differentiate between slower and faster movements, but Sirisha Duvvuru, a recent graduate in speech pathology and audiology, does not recommend doing so.
Duvvuru is from Hyderabad, located in the southern part of India near the origins of ragamala dance. Most people in this part of India learn this form of dance to retain the tradition. Duvvuru said that if there is a particular member of the family who can teach the traditional music or dance, it is a gift, but she learned from a teacher as a young child. See RAGAMALA on Page 6

For those who are bored with Katy Perry and British boy bands, then singer/songwriter Miguel’s racy lyrics and smooth vocal style is just the change needed. Though he has been underrated as an artist, his new album “Kaleidoscope Dream” offers an unbeatable vocal range along with a myriad of catchy tunes centered around sex, love, lust and drugs. If anyone thought that Usher and Christina were the only artists pulling out the sex card this year, they were mistaken. Nearly all of Miguel’s songs are pumped with some sort of innuendo. Don’t be turned off by the lyrics, though. This crooner has real talent and showcases it in his own unique way. 1. “A d o r n” — H e av i l y equipped with James Brown-like vocals, this song follows the usual pop song theme of love mixed with a little lust (“These lips can’t wait to taste your skin, baby”). Miguel has a natural talent that won’t be seen or heard in many artists today, and this song is one of the best on the album. 2. “Don’t Look Back”— With a narrative about his uncontrollable appetite, this song encompasses bizarrely catchy musical elements. 3. “Use Me”—A hush-tone song charged with sex, sex and more sex, the theme is undeniable as seen in lyrics like, “It’s full collision as our bodies tangle, intertwine/Biting your lip/Baby put me inside.” Needless to say, this one isn’t for the faint of heart. 4. “Do You …”—Two words best describe this acoustic/hip-hop mixed song: “love” and “drugs.” Miguel gets straight to the point with his lyrics and doesn’t mask the meaning of his songs, and doesn’t need to with a falsetto like his. 5. “Kaleidoscope Dream”—Perhaps the highlight of
the entire album, “Kaleidoscope Dream” offers a psychedelic, 1970s vibe. Showcasing vocals reminiscent of Prince, the song is just as intricate instrumentally as vocally. Miguel uses a lyric-repetition to create a chill mood throughout the song. Regardless, the song relishes Miguel’s reigning theme of intimacy. 6. “The Thrill”—This retro melody is similar to a specific song by Prince—if you listen, you’ll know—due to the guitar influence and overall tempo. Regardless of who or what gave Miguel inspiration to write and sing this song, the song is a glossy R&B experience ringing true to its name. 7. “How Many Drinks?”— This upbeat tune maintains the steady fornication theme, but despite the sex talk it contains a sense of vulnerability (“You look good, we came to party/But I don’t wanna waste my time”). 8. “Where’s the Fun in Forever”—paired with Alicia Keys, Miguel takes “Where’s The Fun In Forever” into the realm of inspirational songs, stepping away from a sexual theme. The chorus singing in the background adds a gospel-feel and stirs up raw emotion. 9. “Arch & Point”— Miguel doesn’t stray from his theme of lust for too long (“Baby arch your back/and point your toes”). However, the song is low-key compared to his other ones and is a bit of a letdown artistically. 10. “Pussy Is Mine”— Undoubtedly the most explicit song on the album, this song actually holds the most interesting melody of the entire album, in my opinion. Though the song is short, it contains more of a meaning than the title entails. The mystery is yours to solve. 11. “Candles in the Sun”—A thought-provoking song that will surprise listeners with its change in direction (“Is there a God? / Is he watching?/ Is she watching?”).

RAGAMALA continued from Page 5
Chris Elizer • The Daily Beacon
Ragamala performs at Clarance Brown Theatre on Oct. 4.
“There are no pieces in the performance, and everything is related,” Duvvuru said. “They included ten to twelve scales.” She explained that “rag” refers to the scale and “mala” means “an ornament that has beads.” “In Indian music, we have thousands of scales, unlike Western music, so it’s very hard to choose an appropriate continuum of scales that flow so well. They have chosen the best scales and the flow from one scale to another is marvelous,” she said. The dancers were accompanied by a vocalist and violinist. Other accompanists included an artist playing the nattuvangam, an ancient Indian instrument resembling the sound of cymbals, and another musician beating the mridangam, the South Indian drum.
These instruments collectively kept in rhythm with the dancers, and the backdrops created a setting and mood for each sequence of the ensemble. This helped set the mood, according to Cole Wood, freshman in English. “I especially liked it when there was a solo dancer surrounded by the other ones,” Wood said. “It enabled me to see a very interesting solo, but have the background keeping it up.” Despite not understanding the specifics of the story, the universal language of music translated it for audience members. The liveliness of the dancers’ feet and staccato notes of the instruments allowed audience members to understand the emotion behind the performance. Just as a story may be portrayed throughout a ballet performance, ragamala offers the same. The Ragamala Dance Company offers classes in Minneapolis, Minn., and has toured around the world to countries including Bombay, Russia and Taiwan.
Pledges bond, perform through Lipsync Victoria Robinson Contributor Sororities prepare all summer for the recruitment of new girls. Once the recruitment period comes to a close, new members are put straight to work in preparation for Lipsync, a two-night combination of lip-syncing and dancing sponsored by the Panhellenic Council. In previous years, participating sororities were given a certain letter of the alphabet to base their routine and musical selection on, but this year they were given an entire word. Preparations for the event start before recruitment is held. Each chapter picks their chairs, or coaches, for Lipsync. Once selected, these women get down to business preparing for the competition. Lindsey Keller, junior in history, was one of the coaches for Lipsync. She worked with the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. “Our word was ‘light,’” Keller said. “Our first idea about the dance and costumes was gold gloves, and besides that, everything just naturally came together.” The process of choosing music, editing songs to fit together perfectly, finding costumes to represent the word and choreographing a memorable routine can be a daunting task. Each sorority is given approximately a month to teach the three to five minute routine to the new pledge class. “The biggest struggle was teaching girls who had never danced a day in their lives a full routine in just three weeks,” Keller said. “Everyone was really cooperative and we had so much fun with it, especially once we knew the dance well, we could put our facials and personal flare on it.” Judges critiqued the costumes, choreography,
the use of the given word and the pledges’ actual lip-syncing. Unlike normal competitions, the judges didn’t sit in the front row, which might or might not motivate participants to be extra enthusiastic and perform to the best of their ability in front of the audience. Each participant’s entire face and body must look the part. Costumes and song choice play a huge role in the selection of the winner of the competition. While the costumes must have a “wow factor” and emphasize the given word, the songs must motivate the participants and audience so they will get involved. Because each sorority has their own word, the routines and song choice are very different. “We were all proud of both performances, despite the fact that we did not place in the end,” Keller said. “However, we all felt like we did Lipsync to the best of our ability and had an absolute blast while doing it.” The awards were announced at the end of the performances on the second night. Besides the traditional first, second and third awards, two other awards were given for “Crowd Pleaser” and “Best Costume.” This year Zeta Tau Alpha was awarded the “Crowd Pleaser” award. “I think the girls did absolutely amazing,” said Kelsei Longworth, junior in microbiology. “I couldn’t be more proud of them, and winning ‘crowd pleaser’ is such an honor to me. It shows how fun our personalities are. “The girls are so happy with the award they received and know they are closer, thanks to Lipsync,” she added. Sigma Kappa was awarded “Best Costume.” Kappa Delta won first place, Alpha Omicron Pi won second place and Phi Mu won third place.

Lady Vols battle to victory over SEC foes Troy Provost-Heron Staff Writer The Lady Vols volleyball team continued the hot weekend as they won both matches they played against two SEC opponents. In game one on Friday, Oct. 5, the Lady Vols went up against the Missouri Tigers in a back-and-fourth match that the Lady Vols were able to pull out in five sets, 3-2. Head coach Rob Patrick was pleased with his team after the victory against a talented Missouri team. “It was a good win for us, we haven’t been playing as well as we need to against really good teams,” Patrick said. “Missouri is a very good team, they have some very talented players, we saw Lisa Henning take 74 swings and their number 8 (Whitney Little) is the best blocker in our conference and then they have a setter (Molly Kreklow) who is basically an All-American. So they have some very talented young ladies on that team and I felt really happy about how we grinded through that match.” Patrick also gave praise to sophomore outside hitter Tiffany Baker, who lead the team in kills with 23. “I was happy with the way Tiffany Baker did a really nice job in all the things that she did,” Patrick said. “Serving, she put them on their heels a lot with her serves, she played a really low error hitting game, which I thought was fantastic.” Coming off the spoils of a hard-fought victory against Missouri, the Lady Vols took the court again
Sunday against the Georgia Bulldogs. Late in the third set, the Lady Vols found themselves tied 22-22 after losing the first two sets, but they rallied to take the third set as well as the fourth and fifth come-from-behind against Georgia. “Everybody paid some good money to watch some volleyball so we figured we’d give them their money’s worth,” Patrick said. Patrick attributed his team playing from behind to Georgia’s gameplan and execution, but said his team’s resiliency shown throughout the second half of the match. “Georgia played really well, touching and digging everything and they had a good gameplan for us and they came in ready to play before we were ready to play,” Patrick said. “We went into the locker room after the second set, we talked about we weren’t going to score 50 points in a row, we weren’t even gonna score three points in a row, it had to be one at a time so either we were prepared to be here for two-and-a-half hours or Georgia was gonna win and they understood that and I think that was something that really helped provide the resiliency.” Senior outside hitter Kayla Jeter had a doubledouble in the contest, setting a career high in kills with 27 along with 12 digs, but says she is more focused on the team than her individual stats. “For me, it’s about going out and winning. I don’t even look at the scoreboard up there, I don’t even know how many kills I have, I’m just trying to win and take it point by point.” The Lady Vols go to Baton Rouge to play LSU this Wednesday.
