Skillet creates a new feel at The International Mary Beth McCauley Contributor
It was chilly Sunday night as the line outside The International began to wrap around the building. That night’s show, featuring Devour the Day, Sick Puppies and Skillet, was completely sold out. The venue was already filled to the brim with people of all ages — children as young as two and grandparents. As an avid concert goer, I’m pretty used to the rock scene and the people who come to shows. However, the atmosphere was
Volume 132 Issue 34
somehow different at this show. Smiles were on everyone’s faces and you could feel the excitement in the air as the crowd anxiously waited for the lights to go down and the show to begin. The opening act was a rock band from Memphis, Tennessee, called Devour the Day. The band played about five songs, including their smash hit “Good Man,” which the crowd sang with fists raised and heads banging. Next up was Australian rock band Sick Puppies — the act I was most excited for. They came out with amps cranked up loud
and lights flashing. I could feel the buzz of the sound system in my chest. The band played two songs before they spoke to the crowd. Bryan Scott, the lead singer, introduced himself and his band mates. After asking the crowd how many in the audience were old fans, which had an overwhelming response, the band played one of their oldest singles, “All The Same.” The two opening acts did a phenomenal job of getting the crowd pumped up for the headliner, and by the time Sick Puppies finished, the crowd could hardly stand still. It wasn’t a long wait before the lights dimmed

once again, making the room pitch black. The first thing we saw were strobe lights all over the stage, and it drove the crowd crazy. We screamed louder than we ever had before as the silhouettes of Skillet made their way to their stage positions. Now I will admit, I was not expecting anything stellar from Skillet. I like their music and have seen them live before, but I went to the show that night thinking it would be like every other rock show I’d ever been to. Skillet proved me wrong within the first minute of their set. See SKILLET on Page 5

Samsung to halt Note 7 due to spontaneous combustion
Hamilton creator didn’t throw away his shot on SNL
NFL to hand out fines as result of social media policy
After the recall of new Samsung Note 7 phones on Sept. 2, the phone mogul was cleared to re-release their newest installment. Unfortunately for Samsung, the replacement phones with entirely new batteries from a separate facility are also spontaneously combusting. Announced Monday, Oct. 10, Samsung will halt production of the Note 7 device to investigate the continued problem. After a video of a phone smoking on a commercial airline flight last week and burning a hole in it’s owner’s pocket surfaced, Samsung stated it was “adjusting” shipments, but did not comment on their choice to halt production entirely. Major airlines have already banned use of the devices on planes after multiple instances of the phones bursting into flames.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the Broadway smash hit “Hamilton,” hosted SNL on Oct. 8. His opening monologue paid homage to the greats of SNL and discussed the current political situation, all set to the tune of “My Shot” from Hamilton. Miranda brought his innovative blend of hiphop and Broadway musical style to the parody of the Wells Fargo fraud scandal through the music from “The Music Man” and the music video, “The Crucible Cast Party.” Another stand out was the “Stranger Things” sketch, prompting the creators of the Netflix series to say that they would definitely cast Miranda as Dustin’s older brother, if he had one, after seeing the sketch.
The NFL announced a new social media policy on Monday, heavily restricting what a team can post to its accounts. The new league policy will levy up to $100,000 in fines to teams who post gameplay footage before one hour after kickoff. The teams can also no longer livestream the game or plays and must stream post-game press conferences on YouTube and/or Periscope. On non-game days, teams are now limited to only posting 45 videos across all social media platforms. These new policies were established due to reports of multiple teams across the league violating the NFL’s previous social media policy. A team’s first infraction will lead to a fine up to $25,000, second infraction resulting in a fine up to $50,000 and any subsequent infractions resulting in a fine up to $100,000 and the possible stripping of rights to post league owned content on all social media platforms.

Distinguished Global Security Lecture returns Tuesday Staff Report
On Tuesday, Oct. 11, the Howard Baker Center will host the 2016 Distinguished Global Security Lecture featuring James Zogby at 5:30 p.m. in the Toyota Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. The title of the lecture is “The US and the Middle East: How We Got into This Mess and What We Can Do about It.” The Distinguished Global Security Lecture is an annual lecture hosted by the Baker Center to discuss aspects of global security including topics such as nuclear safety, terrorism and international conflicts. Matt Buehler, assistant professor in political science and one of the personnel involved in inviting Zogby, said he hopes Zogby can provide students with an insider’s account about global security and international relations. Zogby is co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute (AAI), a non-profit, nonpartisan, Washington,
D.C.-based organization. The organization was created to nurture and encourage participation of Arab Americans in political and civic life in the United States. He is also an executive committee member of the Democratic National Committee as well as advisor to former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders. President Obama appointed Zogby to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. He is a lecturer and scholar on Middle East issues, U.S.-Arab relations and the history of the Arab American community. He has authored several books, including “What Ethnic Americans Really Think” and “What Arabs Think: Values, Beliefs and Concerns,” and is frequently featured on national and international media. Zogby will discuss the global security crisis in the Middle East as well as his work at the AAI. “I think it’ll be a great way to further inform students as well as the community about the situation in the Middle East,” Nissa Dahlin-Brown, associate director of the Baker Center, said.

Title IX lawsuit bars students from conduct boards Kaylie Hofer
Contributor Students may no longer be allowed on disciplinary hearing boards for sexual misconduct if a suggested code of conduct change goes into effect. The suggestion comes from the Title IX lawsuit last summer. The lawsuit requires UT change its code of conduct policy so that students are barred from serving on disciplinary hearing boards when the issue deals with sexual assault, relationship violence or stalking. Students would only be able to serve on the board if all people involved allow it. The Student Government Association Senate is taking a stand against this decision. “In the senate meeting, we had a resolution presented for the second time: it was presented two weeks ago at the last senate meeting, with the meeting kind of opposed to that change in the code of conduct,” SGA President Carson Hollingsworth said. The proposed resolution by the SGA
states, “Student Government Association Student Senate strongly opposes the proposed change within the proposed student code of conduct, and recommends that the Board of Trustees and/ or General Assembly vote down this proposed change as it may harm the judicial process of the Student Conduct Board and create a negative perception of the university’s transparency in cases of alleged sexual assault.” The Student Government Association is planning to present this proposed resolution at an upcoming Board of Trustees meeting. “During that meeting there is going to be a rule making hearing,” Hollingsworth said. “It’s a chance for people who are concerned with the code of conduct to come up to the microphone and give recommendations on what they think needs to change.” As part of the settlement agreement for the Title IX lawsuit, the university must change its student conduct policy so that current students will not be on disciplinary hearing boards if it involves sexual misconduct, unless the respondent and complainant consent to it. If either
If the change happens, as far as students on conduct boards are concerned, we feel it’s going to demean the value of students on all conduct boards.” Sean Fishkind, senior in kinesiology and student senator
student decides they do not want students on the conduct board, there is nothing the other student can do. “This (the code of conduct change) does satisfy the requirement in that either side can remove students from the conduct board,” Sean Fishkind, a senior in kinesiology and student senator, said. “But we feel it doesn’t satisfy the requirement in that if one side wants students on the board, and the other side disagrees.” The exact wording of the proposed policy change is, “current students will not be appointed to serve on the Student Conduct Board or any Appellate Board
in cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct unless both the respondent and the complainant consent to having students appointed to serve on the board hearing their case.” SGA is concerned about how this proposed change to the Code of Conduct will affect the students and even outcomes of sexual assault cases. “If the change happens, as far as students on conduct boards are concerned, we feel it’s going to demean the value of students on all conduct boards,” Fishkind said. “We feel students are just as capable, if not more capable than staff.”

A charge to the community When asked why I joined a historically (not exclusively) black Greek lettered organizationBGLO, I always say because of my mother. Being a legacy, I was able to open my eyes to a sisterhood that was one of a kind, but I also had the blessing in seeing other organizations within the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the bond they had with one another. It made me see how values and principles of the organizations radiated through and made me realize what being in a BGLO truly meant. With many of our NPHC organizations nearing or having already achieved 100 years of existence, it is humbling experience to know the adversity Our Founders faced and conquered within that time period. The adversity they went through just for us to be here today is one of the many things that make us distinct. Our organizations were established to counter the inequities already precedent in society and on college campuses. We stretched beyond being just social groups instead, organizations that built lifelong bonds, formed a commitment to service; helping those in need, not just ourselves. To promote a bond that could truly change the world. We were organizations for people to call home during and after their collegiate experience. Even when racial divide was being promoted, we continued to strive for
inclusivity. Furthermore, the goal was to service others, help those in need, to develop programs, and events that could truly change the world. Changing the world is what we were about. We all had sorority sisters and fraternity brothers that fought for equality and social justice, including our right to vote. Let’s not forget the path that members of our organizations made for us to be where we are today. Let’s remember to use our voice in all aspects, but most importantly at this time – to vote! At one point, marginalized people were denied their right to vote, some being our members. In a time where police brutality and inequalities are repeating themselves, this election becomes even more important. This effort starts with us. This is a call to for ALL to vote; individually as members and most important our greater UTK community! Today, we have the ability to honor the legacy of Our Founders, by voting in this election, continuing to impact our campus community with engaging programs, and fostering positive relationships with our UT student body; we are them and they are us!

Countering Kaine’s Catholic Church statements Last Tuesday, I managed to catch the last third of the Vice Presidential debate between Gov. Pence and Sen. Kaine. As a full time student who tries to focus on the tasks at hand, I usually don’t get the chance to tune in to events like debates, but this particular night, I decided to just put it on in the background while I was tying up some loose ends for the evening. The result of this was that I clearly heard Sen. Kaine make two statements that, as a Traditional Roman Catholic, I simply must counter. The first is his statement that “the Catholic Church is against the death penalty.” This is totally false. Paragraph 2266 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly states that: “the traditional teaching of the Church has acknowledged as well-founded the public right and duty of legitimate public authority to punish malefactors by means of penalties commensurate with the gravity of the crime, not excluding, in cases of extreme gravity, the death penalty.” In the spirit of complete openness, paragraph 2267 goes on to state that where bloodless means are sufficient, they should be used, but this in no way adds an ounce of truth to Sen. Kaine’s statement. The second is his statement that he “supports Roe v. Wade,” in conjunction with his earlier statement that he “tries to practice his (Catholic) religion in a very devout way and follow the teachings of his Church in his personal life.” These two statements are directly contradictory
to one another. One cannot be a Catholic and be pro-abortion. This follows from paragraph 2271 of the Catechism, which states: “Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of EVERY (emphasis mine) procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.” Paragraph 2272 goes onto state that: “Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life.” Sen. Kaine’s statement in support of Roe v. Wade constitutes formal cooperation in abortion, and therefore places him outside the Church by means of excommunication. These statements by Sen. Kaine clearly misrepresent established Church teaching and place him outside the Church. He may claim to be a Catholic, but his record and statements prove otherwise. People like him give the Church a bad name, and as a Catholic myself, I completely denounce his phony Catholicism. If Catholics (and, I will venture to add, God-fearing, life-loving Christians in general) did not have a reason to vehemently oppose the Clinton/Kaine ticket before this debate, they do now.

SKILLET continued from Page 1 The amps were louder, the lights were brighter and the crowd was completely unruly by this point. Huge explosions of steam came shooting from the stage as John Cooper’s voice echoed throughout the venue. They started with a hit called “Whispers in the Dark,” which was a crowd favorite. It seemed as though the entire room knew
every word. We almost sang louder than Cooper did. Their energy didn’t fade at all throughout their set. In fact, it kept getting higher. Skillet played hits from all of their albums, even their oldest ones, and the crowd faithfully sang along to every song. Of all the shows I’ve been to, other bands never made me feel quite like this. For one song, the lights went down as Korey Cooper (guitar)and the strings player made their way to the back of the stage. Suddenly, the lights went up
and the two musicians were lifted on a hydraulic platform in rhythm with the music, going all the way into the rafters and back down again. Not only is Skillet full of extremely talented musicians, but they were accompanied by a stellar stage crew, too. Cooper would often break in between songs to encourage the crowd. “I want you to think about all the things you’re sick of, put them in your hands, and raise them high. Whether you’re sick of violence, abuse, politics, depression …
Tonight we get to come together and forget about all of those things,” Cooper said. Skillet played about five more songs, six counting the encore. This was a sold out show for a good reason. All three acts were beyond talented. The crowd was one of the most energetic and joyful audiences I had ever been a part of. Maybe it was the age range or the fact that Skillet is primarily a Christian band, so a Christian audience was in attendance. Either way, I had the time of my life at The International that night.
Bronze ceiling: Girls seek statue of woman for Central Park Associated Press NEW YORK — Wander through Central Park past monuments to figures including Christopher Columbus, Alexander Hamilton, William Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott, and it may suddenly hit you: Where are the women? There are none, if you discount fictional characters like Mother Goose and Alice in Wonderland. Even a heroic dog has its place amid the park’s 843 acres of greenery, but every one of the 23 statues or busts of real humans in the park honors a famous man. Some Girl Scouts are now trying to change that. They’ve joined activists raising money for a park monument to two women who revolutionized the country: suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
“We’re trying to crack the bronze ceiling,” deadpans Pamela Elam, who is spearheading the effort along with Stanton’s great-great-granddaughter, Coline Jenkins. The aim of the awareness and fundraising campaign — called Central Park, Where Are The Women? — is to erect the statue by 2020, the centennial of U.S. women’s right to vote. “There are no statues of women, and there’s tons of men,” says Pippa Lee, 10, a scout with Manhattan’s Girl Scout Troop 3484. “We really need a woman’s statue for girls to look up to, not just Mother Goose or Alice in Wonderland. They don’t count.” The effort has drawn the support of the Central Park Conservancy, a private nonprofit whose millions of dollars help beautify the urban oasis. Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver also has given the green light to the suffragist monument, which is to rise by Central
Park West at the 77th Street entrance. So far, the nonprofit raising private donations — the Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Statue Fund Inc. — has collected at least $150,000 of about $500,000 needed to create and maintain the monument. About the same amount would cover landscaping and an educational program. Across the street, the New-York Historical Society plans exhibits and lectures on key roles of women in American society. On a bright fall Thursday, 10 scouts from Troop 3484 joined activists in the park to make their case. Stori Small, 10, noted that she wants women to be represented by “an actual person; I don’t want it to be a cartoon character.” During one weekly scout meeting in Central Park, the fifth-graders collected $123 from passers-by on a sidewalk near the future statue site, while chanting “Where are the women?” Sunflowers
graced the girls’ hair, a symbol of the suffrage movement that began its march to victory with a convention in upstate New York in 1848. The girls plan to collect donations on Thursdays through the fall. For the same cause, students from Manhattan’s LaGuardia High School are selling bracelets inscribed with the words “Bring women of history out of the dark and into the park.” Any artist may submit a monument design following certain criteria, with a handful of finalists creating models to be displayed at the New-York Historical Society. A jury will pick the winner sometime next year. ___ This story has been corrected to show that Pamela Elam is spearheading the effort with Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s great-great-granddaughter, not greatgranddaughter.

Film offers fresh perspective on American men Nathan Smith
Staff Writer
How do you make a movie about widespread ecological disaster? The answer Peter Berg’s new film “Deepwater Horizon� provides is that you don’t. “Deepwater Horizon� presents itself as the story behind the massive 2010 BP oil spill that discharged almost five million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and laid a devastating blow to the ecology of the Gulf Coast. In reality, it’s hardly even close to that. “Deepwater Horizon� is actually about small-time heroism recast as big-screen thrills. As an examination of what led to one of this century’s worst environmental disasters, “Deepwater Horizon� hardly passes muster. As a look at the heroics of a man who just wants to see his family again, it works. But it really succeeds as a suspense-filled thriller — whether or not ecological trauma should be exploited for such purposes remains to be seen. Mark Wahlberg, an American hero if there ever was one, stars as Mike Williams, the chief electrical technician aboard the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. He’s joined by a lively ensemble of hardworking, roughneck Republicans played by the likes of Kurt Russell, Gina Rodriguez and Dylan O’Brien. Opposing them are BP’s corporate heads, fronted by John Malkovich, who plays an ineffectual loon with a laughable Cajun accent. Perhaps the closest analogy to “Deepwater Horizon� is Clint Eastwood’s new film “Sully,� though one could argue about whether or not Mike Williams is as much of a hero as Sully. Both films are ultimately about the friction
between workingmen at the frontlines and their managerial superiors, who come across like comical caricatures. No mainstream American film since “Avatar� has portrayed corporate heads so laughably, though that film’s depictions of business seemed more motivated by a distrust of big public enterprise than a love of the so-called “common man.� John Malkovich deserves applause for portraying a BP micromanager as the best villain the Bond movies never had. Peter Berg, who has one of the most fascinating and bizarre filmographies of any American director this century, has recently carved out a niche as the impresario of what could be called post-“American Sniper� cinema. These movies are about American men doing what American men supposedly do best: doing their jobs, humbly saving the day and coming home to their families. “Deepwater Horizon� continues this narrative, which Berg began with his 2013 “Lone Survivor.� Before the film, audiences will see a trailer for “Patriots Day,� this Christmas’s upcoming Berg-Wahlberg collaboration about a small-time beat cop who performs heroics during the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon. It’s curious that in all three films, the ordinary American is represented by former white rapper, Calvin Klein model and current hamburger chain magnet Mark Wahlberg. But you have to admit, there’s something about Marky Mark’s rise to super-stardom as an actor that has a touch of the American Dream. He might get more Teen Choice & MTV Movie Awards than he does nominations for Oscars, but he’s become a regularly dependable and reassuring face at the multiplex. His career began with roles in films like “Boogie Nights,� desperately bidding for audiences to take him seriously. But

Vols defensive tackle O’ Brien dismissed from team Staff Report
The University of Tennessee announced Monday evening that defensive tackle Danny O’Brien has been dismissed from the team for a “violation of team rules.” The university added that the decision was unrelated to the injury that O’ Brien sustained in the Vols 45-38 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday. O’Brien suffered a neck injury and
had to be put on a stretcher before he was carried off the field. However, the university did say that should O’Brien require any additional care, it would be provided by UT. This season, the 6-foot-2, 301-pound Flint, Michigan native had 14 tackles, including three tackles for a loss. O’Brien was the starting defensive lineman for the Vols and a redshirt senior. Khalil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle will likely fill the spot vacated by O’Brien.
Soccer shuts out A&M, wins third straight Staff Report Senior Hannah Wilkinson and sophomore Anna Bialczak each scored a goal that led the Vols to a 2-0 victory over Texas A&M on Sunday, Oct. 9. Wilkinson and Bialczak each tallied an assist as well as their goals. The Vols have now scored multiple goals in 10 of their last 12 games, which is a sizable difference from last season when they scored multiple goals just five times. After a scoreless first half, Wilkinson broke the tie in the 50th minute when Bialczak sent into the box a cross Wilkinson’s way which she headed into the back of the net. Wilkinson has now scored a goal in the Vols’ last four games and in those four games she has has racked up five goals, two assists and 12 points. The Vols sealed the victory in the 86th
minute when Wilkinson returned the favor to Bialczak and sent her a cross into the box that Bialczak tapped in to increase the lead to two. That was just Bialczak’s second goal of the season and her first since Sept. 4. Wilkinson tallied her seventh assist of the season on that goal. The Vols defense recorded their sixth shutout of the season and sophomore goalkeeper Shae Yanez recorded her second career shutout. The Vols have now won three consecutive games for the first time this season and have won six of their last eight matches, moving them to seventh place in the SEC with a 9-6-0 record and 4-3-0 in the SEC. The Vols hit the road for their only game this week as they take on the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, Kentucky, on Friday Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. for another SEC matchup. The game will be streamed and can be watched on SEC Network +/WatchESPN (Online).

Vols look to fix turnovers in preparation for Bama Rob Harvey
Asst. Sports Editor
Turnovers hampered the Vols on Saturday against Texas A&M in a 45-38 loss in double overtime. The Vols turned the ball over seven times throughout the game with five of those being fumbles. Two of those fumbles came inside the 20-yard line when it looked as if the Vols were going to score. On Monday, head coach Butch Jones discussed the need to clean up the turnovers. “You can’t turn the football over,” Jones said. “Again, (with) seven turnovers, you’re not
going to win a lot of football games.” The Vols have now fumbled the ball 21 times during season through six games. Remarkably, the Vols have lost just eight of these fumbles. On Saturday, the luck finally ran out for the Vols as they fumbled the ball six times and lost five of them. Junior running back Alvin Kamara, despite having a career day with 127 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns, 161 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown, fumbled the ball twice, losing one. “Starting with me and Dobbs, we are going to strain and put more of an emphasis on it (turnovers) this week,” Kamara said on Monday. “Guys have to focus on holding on
to the ball and a lot of it comes from trying to make something happen starting with my fumble trying to make things happen with the ball in my hands.” As for working on turnovers, the Vols participate in what they call a “maxim one period” in practice that focuses on ball security. “Everyday in practice we do what is called a maxim one period which is all about ball security,” Junior Ethan Wolf said on Monday. “We work on it in practice but I would definitely see the intensity of those periods pick up this week and throughout the rest of the season.” “Throughout the whole practice, whenever somebody gets the ball we yell chin,” Kamara said. “That means to keep the ball high and
tight. We all know that ball security is important, we just have to lock in on it.” The Vols will need to resolve the turnover issue quickly as No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide come into Knoxville on Saturday. The Tide are ranked number one in the nation in defensive turnovers as they have returned four fumbles for touchdowns and three interceptions for touchdowns. For the Vols, the urgency level will be the same as they prepare for Bama. “There is always a sense of urgency,” Jones said. “It doesn’t matter who your opponent is. Alabama is very opportunistic and they do a great job of hunting the football with the way they strip.”
