Vols can’t complete Senior Night stunner Lucas Hunter

Contributor For 45 minutes, the University of Tennessee traded slight misses and thread-and-needle fastbreaks with No. 2 South Carolina on senior night at Regal Stadium, leading to a 0-0 stalemate at halftime. However, in the second half Tennessee (10-7-1) surrendered two goals to the Gamecocks (16-0-1) to lose 2-0 in a gritty game determined by the perpetual motion of the South Carolina offense. Grinding through defensive possessions against constant movement and exact ball placement, the Volunteers walled in the second half and were outmatched on each end, getting less shots, giving up better looks and committing more fouls. Statistically, the Gamecocks played as the superior team in the second half, including an 8-3 advantage in shots and forcing Tennessee into five fouls. The defensive slog led to a sputtering offense, resulting in the Volunteers’ first shut-out in the month of October. “They’re a good team, I’m proud of

our kids,” head coach Brian Pensky said. “After we gave up our first goal, there was a half-chance to get a tying goal. We had more corner kicks in the second half where our players are flying around trying to make plays in the box, but it just didn’t happen today.” In the first half, the Volunteers played as a confident team trading blows with the heavyweight that roosts atop the conference. Tennessee played with an aggressive press on defense that helped create the streaking fast breaks for senior Anna McClung’s two shots in the opening 14 minutes. “The game plan was just to press and say that we have nothing to lose,” senior Emily Morrow, who played all 90 minutes of her final game in Regal Stadium, said. Tennessee’s graduating players relied on years of chemistry in their final match in front of the Tennessee faithful. The sextet of Hannah Wilkinson, Jamie Simmons, Cali Hutson, Kiah Allen, Anna McClung and Emily Morrow combined for 301 minutes of action on the night, as well as three well-placed shots that forced South Carolina’s keeper into three saves.

UT College Republicans, Democrats spar in debate Alex Holcomb

Contributor On Thursday, more than 100 students and faculty watched the University of Tennessee College Republicans and Democrats battle it out in person and on Twitter in an annual debate hosted by Studesnt Government Association’s Government Affairs Committee. The debate was moderated by UT law school student Grant Davis. The College Republicans were represented by their president Greg Butcher. College Democrats were represented by their president Feroza Freeland and Eric Rouse. Behind the debaters, two projectors displayed tweets that used #UTKSGADebate. The hashtag was trending in Tennessee before the debate had finished. The tweets ranged from discussions on the topics presented to insults against the debaters. For example, one attendee tweeted, “Greg you’re looking a lot like trump right now. Can’t interrupt then get mad at interruptions #utksgadebate.” The topics and questions were simi-

lar to those that were asked of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton the night before. The candidates were first directed toward foreign policy and were asked how the United States should protect itself from future acts of terrorism and what to do about the Syrian refugee crisis. “I differ from the nominee a little bit. I think when there is a rigorous vetting process and our duty bounds, we’ll have certain numbers of refugees in our countries as we are now. Terrorists use this as a Trojan horse, but the bottom line is if America was leading in this regard, we would not have the problem we have today with the refugee crisis,” Butcher said. “The United States should absolutely allow refugees in,” Rouse said. “We contribute to bloodshed that causes people to flee from their homes and seek safety, so we have responsibility to help them.” Next, the organizations were asked about what should be done to create peace with Russia. “There’s a certain point where someone has to say, ‘enough is enough.’ The Russians are not listening to us because

they know that, if Donald Trump is elected, they will have a puppet in the White House,” Rouse said. “The Democratic Party, both President Obama and Secretary Clinton, have been unwilling to take on Russia. Russia is on rampant — on the loose in world affairs,” Butcher said in response. “It’s going to require a president’s strength to take that on, and Hillary Clinton tried and failed when it came to taking on Russia.” Another major topic was the environment, and debaters were asked about whether or not they support the switch to clean energy despite its economic costs. “We are sitting on some of the world’s best natural resources — oil, coal and natural gas — to have a strong economy, and over the long run, if you have a strong economy, you’ll innovate. You’ll create a type of society where the technologies are thriving and where you can move toward a greener place, but you’re not going to do that through arbitrary regulations that hurt middle class families,” Butcher said.

Sustainability Day promotes sustainable living with activities, food, giveaways Priya Narapareddy Staff Writer

The University of Tennessee’s Office of Sustainability hosted its 2016 Sustainability Day Thursday, Oct. 20, to promote an active, healthy lifestyle and the enhancement of our environment. The event was held from 11p.m.-4 p.m. at the HSS Amphitheatre. Students were able to visit a variety of stations including UT Recycling, a mobile bike station, vendors with produce from Tennessee farms, Knox Recycles and CAC Beardsley Farms. Students were given a “Make Orange Green” passport. These passports were used to collect stamps at vendors in order to receive free food and swag bags. Alaina Wood, assistant for UT Recycling, said UT not only has Zero Waste game days but also recycles and composts throughout campus. “Recycling bins can be found in every building on campus, and 30 buildings on campus currently have composting,” Wood said. Wood also said she is trying to spread

the word about the Mug Project on campus. If students bring their own 24 ounces or less mug to any UT dining location, they can receive discounts on their beverages. Students can purchase a fountain soda or drip coffee for $1.19. They can also receive 15 percent off a specialty coffee drink. Kasey Sumeriski, Connor Sims and Sasha Reed represented the Bike Shop on campus. Sims said the Bike Shop is located on the bottom floor of TRECS. At the shop, students can get their bikes fixed for free depending on the services needed. Students can also bring their bikes to the shop and work on them. Reed said she loves meeting people on campus from working at the bike shop. “(The Bike Shop) makes campus a lot friendlier,” she said. Sarah Cherry, the outreach coordinator of the Office of Sustainability, said that the term sustainability encompasses many areas, including conserving water, recycling and conserving energy. Cherry said the concepts of sustainability are continuously evolving as technology increases. UT is considered one of the top “Green Colleges” by The Princeton Review. There

is a growing interest in sustainability on campus, especially with the introduction of the Sustainability interdisciplinary major in 2012. Currently, 19 percent of UT graduates have taken sustainability-related classes. The Princeton Review also described UT as a university with an “overall commitment to sustainability.”About 42 percent of all of the energy on campus is produced by renewable energy resources, according to the release. Many of the organizations that attended Sustainability Day are hosting upcoming events related to sustainable living. Knox Recycles is inviting students to volunteer with Knox County Solid Waste to clean and restore Hickory Creek Park in West Knoxville on Oct. 30., from 3-5 p.m. CAC Beardsley Farms is holding a Harvest Festival this Sunday, Oct. 24, from 1-5 p.m. UT ‘s Outdoor Program and Vol Wall is hosting the “Climb Your Guts Out” on Saturday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Students can wear their costumes as they participate in this Halloween-themed climbing competition at the Vol Wall which is located inside HYPR.

DEBATE continued from Page 2 “We side with the 97 percent of scientists who agree that climate change is real. It’s caused by human activity, and it poses a very serious threat to our planet,” Freeland said. “Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have surpassed safe levels as of this year, and we really cannot afford another four years of Republican inaction on climate.” Additionally, the debaters were asked if they believed higher education is a commodity or a human right if you live in the United States. Butcher, called the question “loaded.” “It is something that should be available and accessible to people that can’t afford it, but to say we’re just going to give blanket free college — you could tax the top 1 percent in this country 100 percent. Take all their money. You wouldn’t pay for free college for a year.” “Secretary Clinton has presented a comprehensive plan to make debt free college a reality. Now notice I did not say free college. I said debt free college,” Freeland said. “Here in Tennessee, we are sitting on a $1 billion surplus … If this is the way to, you know, bring tuition costs down, why don’t we invest that in our universities?” The organization leaders were then directed to what their respective parties would do

Monday, October 24, 2016 • The Daily Beacon about paid maternity leave and the wage gap. Butcher, who again suggested that the question was loaded, said to the audience, “Let me just go ahead and bust the gender wage gap myth for you.” Butcher than stated that the wage gap is a result of the majority of women choosing careers that have lower salaries. “It’s not because people are paying different numbers for different work. It’s because there are different fields, and those statistics are being used by Democrats as a scare tactic.” “There are reasons, historical reasons, why certain fields are male dominant and certain fields are not. There are reasons why we only have 20 female senators,” Freeland said in response. “It’s because, historically, only men were only allowed by society to go into these positions, and so women are still trying to catch up.” Butcher responded by saying the government is not able to change history. The final question was about how each party plans to unite the country no matter what the outcome of the election is. Both sides took the question as an opportunity to tell why the other side would not unite the country. “What we have seen from the Republicans this election cycle has been horrific … Donald Trump is a man who never should have gotten this close to the presidency, and I do think that my friend (Butcher) over there would agree

Alex Holcomb • The Daily Beacon with me on that,” Freeland said. Butcher did agree. “In my opinion, yeah, stronger together is exactly just words,” Butcher said. “It’s just words for a woman who stood on the Democratic primary debate stage, and when asked which enemy she’s most proud of making, who did she say? Republicans. Does that sound like somebody who’s going to unite the

country and work together post-election?” The debate ended shortly after the last question after over an hour. The two organizations were given a chance to advertise their club to the audience.

The Daily Beacon • Monday, October 24, 2016

We stay, we fight for a better Tennessee It’s a very jarring experience to hear elected officials talk about “Tennessee values” that demean families like ours, as if we are not Tennesseans, as if we do not have values - as if we do not have value. We have both lived in this state for much of our lives and have long struggled with this cognitive dissonance. Growing up queer in the South can be surreal. We know that this state, this region is not just one thing. We only have to look at our communities, our friends and family members. We see folks of many races, belonging to many faiths or none, with many kinds of family structures. Yet some politicians get on TV and talk about Tennessee as if we all have a rigid set of identities - often white, Protestant, straight and able-bodied. To reconcile this kind of conflict while knowing that it is those same politicians who set the national reputation for our state is exhausting and demoralizing. This exhaustion turns to existential terror when we see violence against our communities and communities like ours. When we see shots fired in a church for daring to affirm its LGBTQ members. When we see protest and vandalism against a mosque under construction. When we see police murder unarmed civilians and the protesters demanding change demeaned and threatened with violence. When we see UT students physically assaulted on campus, just for being open about who they are and who they love. This, after over a year of vandalism against the Pride Center and the consistent undermining of attempts to ensure that this campus is “welcoming to all and hostile to none.” We choose to live and work in a state that

continues to fight for its “right” to not recognize our marriage, to refuse our trans brothers and sisters the right to use the restroom they feel comfortable in, that calls itself “oppressed” when expected to acknowledge that not everyone lives the way they do or has the same experiences that they do. It can be heart-breaking to stay in this place that has been our home for so long. As union members, we sometimes find ourselves asked to guide the organization to choose a campaign to work on. Strict “workplace” issues like wages, performance evaluations, benefits and working conditions have long been a major part of the union’s work. Also from the beginning, we have fought to make sure that folks with marginalized identities are protected at work. Sometimes that means helping a coworker file a complaint about a hostile work environment or speaking to HR or a supervisor. Sometimes that means a campaign to extend domestic partner benefits to unmarried and same-sex couples. The fight for queer rights is a labor fight because we still live in a state where we can be legally fired for being open about who we are and who we love. Because whether I can claim my wife on my taxes and take sick leave when she is ill affects our family’s bottom line. Because trans folks deserve gender-affirming health care that is compassionate and paid for by their insurance. So why do we stay here, when everyday we must fight against the systems of oppression all around us? Why do we stay in a place where we continue to see assaults on our trans brothers and sisters, watch our friends with

OPINIONS

disabilities fight for access and the lives of our Black friends be put in jeopardy simply walking down the street? Why not move to a more progressive area where it would be easier? Because we love our home; we want to raise our children here. So we stay. We fight. We could use our many privileges to move our family somewhere we didn’t have to bear witness to these atrocities; but here’s the thing: no one’s free until everyone’s free. We want to see a Tennessee where everyone is able to live their lives free of oppression. We want this not only for our own family, but for your family as well. If you work on campus, please join your union. Come to the October 28-29 Labor & Change Teach-in in the UTK Panhellenic Building to talk about building the movement we need to make change across our state. Stand together on campus whether it’s against facilities outsourcing or against more attacks on diversity and our queer community. Vote - including for local candidates like House District 13 candidate Gloria Johnson who will stand tall for all of us. Early voting runs October 19 - November 3. You can early vote in the Howard Baker Center October 31 - November 3, 8am-8pm, and avoid the long lines on November 8 Election Day.

Hillel’s response to posters on campus As the major Jewish life organization at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Hillel seeks to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students interested in joining our community. That’s why we feel compelled to denounce the disparaging posters recently placed throughout campus singling out individual UTK students and faculty. While we oppose harmful BDS initiatives and the organizations that promote them, we do not condone this type of hate speech against members of our campus community.

We would like to make clear that these posters were produced by an organization in no way affiliated with Hillel. We work hard to build strong working relationships with the students and administrators of UTK, and harmful actions like this undermine these efforts. Hillel condemns this act and any efforts to demonize any racial or religious group. We are committed to creating a campus climate where all feel safe and secure, where diversity is celebrated and where political differences are communicated civilly and

respectfully. It is a privilege to be a part of the Volunteer Family and we are committed to making sure that everyone feels as lucky to be a part of it as we are. VOL means All.

The (in)fidelity of democracy

Hancen Sale As it Stands

There are two polarized views of democracy: one in which we benefit and one in which we are constrained. The following is perhaps a disillusioned, but somewhat accurate, idea of Capitol Hill. It harbors some of our nations most corrupted individuals, the narcissists who will do anything to keep power and the politicians who will sacrifice everything to preserve the bureaucracy. With the rise of large media outlets, hundreds of sex scandals and money laundering schemes have been exposed. Our nation’s political representatives, those who we have elected, are betraying constituents for their own self-interest and reputation. But to some degree, who can blame them? Washington is a war-zone where, if knocked down, you must not just get back up. You must come up swinging. There is no fidelity to cling to in tough times; politicians are consistently fighting the corruption and most are consumed by it in the end. That is not to say some do not serve with honorable of intentions; however, Washington is a difficult place to maneuver if you don’t play the game. This corruption and self-interest present in our political class has ripped apart America’s

social fabric. It has convinced our national constituency that only the self-aggrandizing upperclassmen can play the game, evident in Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It has produced the most divided middle class in recent history. It has dethroned acceptance as one of our nation’s most iconic attributes replacing it with prejudice and discrimination. However, the infidelity of our democracy is ultimately what renders it capable of its fidelity. America’s democracy, corruption and all, is what evokes the grassroots movements of citizens who refuse to accept its brokenness as the status quo. It provides a platform for which the least and greatest among us can share a common reverence for all of the gifts a free country and democracy supply. The infidelity by which we are plagued is simultaneously proving how common beauty transcends individual beauty. We all live on a trial and error basis — selfinterest is proving to be ugly. Hence, this infidelity is producing more active citizens who care about fighting the disintegrating morality and corruption of our government. “There are some things that are legal but distasteful and corrupt,” said David Brooks, and American

citizens are feeling this acutely. Donald Trump has evaded taxes, and while it may be legal, it is certainly not the marks of a citizen who cares for the greater good. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton was negligible with our nations secrets and while it is supposedly legal in our nation’s eyes, it does not make her seem like a prudent and trustworthy leader. Our nation’s infidelity is ultimately evoking a better mentality, David Brooks says, where citizens are giving and sacrificing out of the nobility of their heart. Certainly, this is not the popular mentality, but it is nonetheless what is emerging from America’s political unrest. America desperately needs a mentality which prides itself on the commonalty and citizenship—it cultivates prudent and capable leaders. Who manifests this mentality in the election of 2016? I’m not quite sure. However, now is a time when we must vote for someone who really cares about America and its future. Who do you think genuinely cares? That is up to you.

Accountability during cyber attacks

Kimberly Bress Real World Problem Solving

The world wide web is not a keeper of secrets. Between WikiLeaks and data breaches, it has become increasingly clear that the internet remembers more than we can imagine and will reveal more than we would approve. If prompted in the right way even the most closely guarded networks can be goaded into spilling their contents. The schematic image of the hacker is well known in the public conscience and modern media. A man in dark clothing and wire rimmed glasses furiously pours over his keyboard, lit by the glare of a computer screen. However, as cyber attacks become a more prominent threat to both public and personal security, this image of hacking is quickly changing. At its conception, hacking was an innocent intellectual endeavor popularized by engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The technique of manipulating and controlling network connections, first used for laboratory projects, quickly evolved from a constructive activity to a malignant endeavor. The emergence of the internet prompted an increase in data network exploitation, giving rise to the industry of cyber attacks. As life becomes more and more digitized, the effects of malignant hacking in both professional and personal realms become increasingly potent. On Friday, Oct. 21, users of many major websites (including Netflix, Spotify and Twitter, the technology trifecta for the common college

student) reported various types of accessibility issues. Investigation of these complaints revealed more than just the common glitch. Instead, it appeared that a large-scale cyber attack was being launched against the company which manages these domains, in addition to many others. What does a cyber attack looks like? Do clicks of the keyboard replace gunfire, error messages representing detonations? Although cyber attacks may occur abstractly, their purposes of infiltration and intimidation produce a very real sense of terror. Interestingly, in the case of last week’s attack, it is possible for “civilians” to be caught in cyber crossfire. The personal internet addresses of an average computer user can be used as a constituent in an attack on a larger server. Far removed from the imagery of the lone hacker, large scale infiltrations of a computer server are calculated attacks likely performed by a team of computing experts. In fact, many nation states have robust governmental departments devoted to cyber security. As more and more sensitive information is entrusted to the digital domain, the stakes of hacking are heightened. Cyber attacks will become more sophisticated and harder to counter, leaving us vulnerable to unwanted revelations of our internet dealings. The most interesting, and perhaps most terrifying, thing about hacking is its ability to

resurrect the past. Anything that is said and sent on a network system is at risk of resurfacing. We are accountable for the way in which we present ourselves electronically, a moral task which is often easier said than done. From behind a screen or a keyboard and guarded by anonymity and isolation, we are more capable of lying, insulting and corrupting. A shady digital character can lurk behind even the most upright of individuals. From politicians to celebrities and billionaires to broadcasting companies, the reputations of many different entities have been tainted (if not destroyed) by high-profile hacking incidents. If there is any message to be taken away from the current political climate, it is one of the importance in accountability. No matter what form our messages may take — statements in resurfaced video footage or confidential emails leaked to the public — they persist in defining how we are perceived. Surrounded by the constant presence of technology, we must be supremely careful with the words that we use and the ways in which we document them. Accountability between our digital selves and human character is the only complete defense against hackers, leaving them little to attack and even less to reveal.

Getting personal with Gaga in new album “Joanne� Presley Smith

Opinions Editor It’s been almost three years since her last solo album, “Artpop,â€? and Lady Gaga is back with a vengeance. The last couple of years have been full of tributes and television debuts for Gaga and taking time to create another album seemed irrelevant. But now she’s back with “Joanne,â€? a look deeper into the psyche that drives the queen of ‌ well, everything. The album is slower and much less drowned in effects, providing the listener with a connection to the songs that past albums have been missing. Gaga herself told E! News that the album, “crosses between country funk, pop, dance, rock, electronic music, folk‌â€? and is a tribute to her late aunt, Joanne, who passed away at the age of 19 due to complications of

lupus. The first single, “Perfect Illusion,â€? seemed to be a ballad for Gaga’s ex-fiancĂŠ, Taylor Kinney, however she has claimed that the song is about relationship struggles and the complex emotions involved. It is also speculated that the song refers to social media disillusionment. Gaga glides over lyrics such as, “It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love. It was a perfect illusion. Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love. It was a perfect illusion. You were a perfect illusion.â€? The album as a whole continues to follow a narrative. This is apparent throughout “Diamond Heart,â€? which seemingly refers to the heart-shaped diamond engagement ring given to her by Kinney. The album is a mix between discussing her relationship and engagement, and her longing to have loved ones help. Again, in “Joanne,â€? she describes her need for help: “Heaven’s not ready for you/Every part of my aching heart needs you

more than the angels do.� But then, as in every Gaga album, comes the wave of self confidence. In “Hey, Girl� and “Angel Down� Gaga chants ballads that encourage listeners to live without judgement. Gaga dives into social issues in this album more than ever before. In the song “Angel Down,� Gaga discusses the much-publicized death of Trayvon Martin. “Shots were fired on the street. By the church where we used to meet. Angel down, angel down. Why do people just stand around? I’m a believer, it’s a trial foolish and weaker. I’d rather save an angel down.� She also brings in a hopeful melody for her dear friend Sonja, who is battling stage IV cancer in the song “Grigio Girls.� All in all, this album is a stripped down version of the usual Lady Gaga. It’s a deeper look into the ups and downs that Gaga herself has faced, and contains hopeful melodies along with heartbreaking ballads of love and loss.

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

The squad took 11 individual victories and four relay wins on Saturday, with the men winning eight events and the women taking seven on the meet’s second day. “I was most impressed across the board with our team’s level of preparation for this session,” Tennessee head coach Matt

Coetzee and Kyle DeCoursey. When a team sees their teammates racing with a lot of heart, all through a race, not just at the finish, it inspires everybody.” For the women, Colleen Callahan won three races for the Volunteers. She took the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke on Friday and the 200 breaststroke on Saturday with a time of 2:18.15. “We’ve had a lot of injuries and sicknesses in the last two weeks to people that are among our best swimmers, we really had some people rise to the occasion like Tess Cieplucha, Alex Cleveland and Colleen Callahan,” Kredich said. “I am really pleased with the breadth of

Kredich said. “They didn’t show any signs of fatigue from either yesterday or having an early morning.” Junior Sam McHugh was a weapon for the Volunteers against UNC, notching four total individual victories, two of them coming on Saturday. Those wins included the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 9 minutes, 5.54 seconds and the 400 individual medley in an NCAA B-cut time of 3:51.69. “Sam made a pretty definitive statement in the 1,000,” Kredich said. “I thought our team took a lot of confidence in that.

Four other women joined Callahan as individual winners.

The Volunteers take on Louisville at home on Oct. 27, and then travel to Lexington, Kentucky, for a double-dual meet against Kentucky and Indiana.

SOCCER

“They’re all unbelievable students, high level students, high level majors, unbelievable GPAs, the collection of them (the seniors) — I think is about a 3.75 and they’re all high character kids.” As they pass the torch, the seniors seem to know the role they played in cultivating the future of the Volunteer football programs. “On and off the field, just making relationships and trying to lead the best that I can from experience,” Simmons said. “Give everything I have, not hold back anything and lead the team

with as much confidence as I can next year and give them as much of a boost as I can. Teach them the little things.” The Volunteers will conclude their regular season on the road against Auburn on Oct. 27 and begin the postseason on Oct. 31. Tennessee currently has 16 points in SEC play and sits in a tie for sixth place with Vanderbilt. South Carolina is first with 30 points, followed by Auburn in second and the duo of Arkansas and Florida tied for third. Missouri sits in fifth

place with 19 points. If the Vols win against Auburn and Missouri loses to Florida on Thursday, the Vols earn the tiebreaker over the Tigers. Pensky used this game as a reminder of what his squad is capable of, come time for the SEC tournament. “If you ask South Carolina did they had a game on their hands today,” Pensky said. “I think they’d certainly tell you yes they did.”
