Historic Knoxville house anything but bleak Hannah Overton Copy Editor

The area surrounding the University of Tennessee has a deep history associated with the Civil War. This complicated past with American history is being preserved in many ways, but one way in particular is through the dedicated work of a non-profit group. Chapter 89 of the Daughters of the Confederacy owns and operates Bleak House, a beautiful, brick Victorian mansion, painted white, situated atop a little hill overlooking Kingston Pike in the front and the Tennessee river in the back. President of Chapter 89 Carlene Johnson explained some of the rich history behind Bleak House’s involvement in the Civil War. The original owners of the house were Robert and Louisa Armstrong. Bleak House was built as a wedding present from Louisa’s father, Major Lawson Franklin, but the land they built it on was owned by Robert Armstrong’s father, Drury. This portion of Knoxville ran in the family. Drury Armstrong’s house, Crescent Bend, is another historical home located just mere blocks from Bleak House. And Robert and Louisa’s daughter, Adelia Armstrong Lutz, owned Westwood — yet another historical home on Kingston Pike. “The Armstrongs were a very social family,

despite the name of the house. You know, it was named after the Charles Dickens’ novel,” Johnson said. “They had a lot of parties here, so the house is anything but bleak. They say it was given in jest.” The interior of the house: tall ceilings, cheerful atmosphere, fine furnishings and embellishments make the place seem perfect for parties and balls. Bleak House was used for much more than just parties though. According to Johnson, Robert Armstrong opposed the Civil War completely and refused to support either side. While Robert was out of town, General Longstreet of the Confederacy knocked on the door of Bleak House to request it as his headquarters. With an army at his back, there was little Louisa could do in the situation other than invite the general into her home. Longstreet could see the Tennessee river from his office in Bleak House — an important way for him to make sure that boats weren’t carrying guns and other supplies to the Union troops at the fort. The tower on the east side of the house was also an asset to Longstreet. He stationed sharpshooters there, one of whom shot William Sanders, Fort Sanders’ namesake. Chapter 89’s extensive work on repairing and restoring the house is evident. They are dedicated to historical accuracy to a point that is extremely sombering. Johnson pointed out some rust colored stains near the window in the tower of the house. The blood from some wounded sharpshoot-

ers is still lingering on the walls of the tower. The presence of blood and apparent death like this have led some to perceive Bleak House as a haunted establishment. “We’ve had a lot of people who have had strange things happen to them. I won’t say ‘yes,’ and I won’t say ‘no’ (to Bleak House being haunted),” Johnson said. “(People) have been in here who have said they’ve heard voices, like children playing or voices calling to them.” Whether the beautiful Bleak House has friendly ghosts or not, the establishment is well taken care of and worth exploring. Most of the funds used for the upkeep come from using the gardens and interior as a wedding venue, but the main goal of Bleak House will always be to preserve a piece of East Tennessee’s fascinating history. With museum cases full of guns and weapons, antique furniture contemporary to the construction of the house, Italian marble mantles, intricate silk panels, blood stains and bullet holes, Bleak House holds a story for everyone to discover. You can experience your own tour of Bleak House every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 1-4 p.m. The last tour begins at 3:30 p.m. They will be holding their Christmas tours on Dec. 3 from 12-6 p.m. and Dec. 4 from 1-6 p.m. Their Christmas tour includes tour guides in full period dress.

right for health and happiness in this country,” Dunn said. “We must remember that veterans are volunteers, and we wouldn’t have anything without these individuals. We should all be grateful for those who risk their lives and continue to keep us safe.” During his extensive service as a U.S. Marine, Dunn continued his education and completed numerous degrees. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1974, Dunn earned two master’s degrees, one from Pepperdine University in 1978 and the other from the National Defense University in 1996 as well as a Doctorate of Education degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2008. UT business professor and former Navy officer Dan Flint also spoke at the ceremony, saying a few words about what the military means to him and his family. “It’s wonderful to see all the veterans here,” Flint said. “Every generation in my family, all the way down to myself, served in the military. I’m here to say thank you. The service you provide can not be measured, but it can certainly be recognized. See VETERANS on Page 5

Free HIV tests offered for World AIDS Day Jason McDonald Contributor

The Knox County Health Department, in partnership with UT’s Center for Health Education and Awareness (CHEW) will be conducting free, confidential HIV testing at the UT International House on Melrose Avenue on Nov. 18. This testing event is part of World AIDS Day, an annual event on Dec. 1 dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic. In 2014, approximately 22 percent of all new HIV cases were in people aged 13-24. The CDC estimates 44 percent of those with HIV do not even know they have the disease. “HIV still affects young people across populations, and college-aged individuals are at risk,” Billie Amatus-Salaam, wellness coordinator for CHEW, said. CHEW has partnered with various organizations since 2013 to host World

AIDS Day events and offering free testing to students on campus. This partnership looks to eliminate cost and provide accessibility, two barriers to HIV testing. University participation in World AIDS Day is an attempt to raise awareness to and provide education about HIV. It also helps to eliminate the stigma associated with HIV. Students can also receive an HIV test from the Student Health Center at any time throughout the semester. Testing will comprise of an oral cheek swab to detect the presence of HIV. No needles will be used nor will blood be drawn. Students will fill out paperwork to consent to the test as well as confidentiality paperwork. The test will be conducted in a private room with a trained and certified HIV tester and will take 20 minutes to complete. If a person is tested negative the post-rest counseling will include a risk assessment interview and the student will be provided information on how to See HIV TESTING on Page 5

Haslam College of Business held a ceremony honoring all who served in the military as well as the official anniversary of the United States Marine Corps yesterday, Nov. 10, commemorating the branch of the U.S. armed forces and all those who have served. The event opened with the pledge of allegiance, followed by a brief moment of silence to recognize all the veterans who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives while protecting the United States here and abroad. Former Marine and educator Kenneth Dunn delivered the keynote speech during the event. Dunn, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1974, spent 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps before finally retiring at the rank of Colonel. As Dunn addressed the crowd at the event, he made a point to recognize and commend the active duty Marines present in full uniform. “It is you who have guaranteed our right for health and happiness in this country,” Dunn said. “We must remember that veterans are volunteers, and we wouldn’t have anything without these individuals. We should all be grateful for those who risk their lives and continue to keep us safe.” During his extensive service as a U.S. Marine, Dunn continued his education and completed numerous degrees. After gradu-

ating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1974, Dunn earned two master’s degrees, one from Pepperdine University in 1978 and the other from the National Defense University in 1996 as well as a Doctorate of Education degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2008.

I’m here to say thank you. The service you provide can not be measured, but it can certainly be recognized. Thank you.” Nov. 10 is the official birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps, dating back to Nov. 10, 1775, when two battalions of Continental Marines were formed in Philadelphia, specially trained and capable of fighting at sea and on land during the Revolutionary War against Great Britain. Since then, the United States Marine Corps has grown into one of the most formidable fighting forces on Earth, with around 182,000 active members today. Equally important is the day after the birth date of the U.S. Marine Corps, Veterans Day. This years Veterans Day marks 98 years since Nov. 11, 1918, when Germany and Allied Forces agreed to a cease fire that led to the Treaty of Versailles seven months later, officially bringing World War I to an end on June 28, 1919.

Should a person test positive for the HIV virus, the student will be able to ask questions, address concerns and urged to obtain a blood test from the health department to confirm the results. The health department will also be able to refer students to a doctor for care and treatment. “HIV diagnosis can be emotional,” Judy Roitman, a licensed medical social worker and health educator for the Knox County Health Department, said. “We want the student to know that they are not alone. Our primary concern is to connect that person to care.”

Friday, November 11, 2016 • The Daily Beacon United States Marine Corps has grown into one of the most formidable fighting forces on Earth, with around 182,000 active members today. Equally important is the day after the birth date of the U.S. Marine Corps, Veterans Day. This years Veterans Day marks 98 years since Nov. 11, 1918, when Germany and Allied Forces agreed to a cease fire that led to the Treaty of Versailles seven months later, officially bringing World War I to an end on June 28, 1919. The health department partners with the state of Tennessee to offer HIV drug assistance, medical services and insurance assistance through the Ryan White Program. A person who tests positive would be linked to a caseworker who would help them apply for the program and also help monitor their care. Advances in HIV care have evolved so that a person who is diagnosed with HIV is expected to live a long and healthy life. “Unfortunately, there is still much to be done about HIV-related stigma which can prevent individuals from getting tested or seeking health care,” Amatus-Salaam said. “Some students may be afraid of a positive diagnosis, but students shouldn’t be so afraid that they risk their health and wellbeing.”

Protests over presidential election results flood Pedestrian Walkway Staff Report UT students and faculty took to Pedestrian Walkway Thursday, Nov. 10 to chant phrases like “the people united will never be divided” and “no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” as part of a “Not My President” protest following Donald Trump’s presidential win on Nov. 8. The protesters blocked the center of Pedestrian Walkway in front of Hodges Library, many holding signs saying, “Not My President,” “Stand Against Hate,” “Black Lives Matter,” “Love Trumps Hate” and “America was never great.” The “Not My President” demonstrators were made up of a diverse group of students, all condemning Trump’s plans to build a wall on the Mexican-American border to control immigration, deport Muslims and establish a flat tax rate for all Americans. There were also many female students and faculty present protesting Trump’s derogatory comments about women. “I’m a little bit upset that someone who’s supported by the KKK, by the American Nazi party, and preaches phobia and bigotry and misogyny has been elected,” Anthony Sherriff, senior in neuroscience and psychology, said. After the demonstrators blocked Pedestrian Walkway, declaring their anxiety over what a Trump win signifies for minority groups on campus, counter-protesters supporting Trump

“

began to gather around the circle of seated “Not My President” protesters. Mickey Shelton, a Trump supporter who does not attend UT, showed up to the protest dressed as Donald Trump and carrying an American flag. “We need to open that dialogue. We need to make deals. We need stand up to our enemies. At the end of the day we’re all Americans; We just think there are different solutions to the same problem,” Shelton said. UT is not the only campus experiencing divide. Similar protests have erupted nationwide, including at the University of Texas at Austin and in Chicago. Early Wednesday morning, Nov. 9, after the presidential election results were announced the night before, a flag was desecrated at the Howard H. Baker Jr Center for Public Policy and a physical altercation broke out later that day at the Rock between Trump supporters and students involved with the Multicultural Mentoring Program. “I don’t want to stand by in silence while a narrative full of hate and violence is so prevalent in our country,” Tina Shepardson, professor in religious studies, said. “I want to be part of a community that’s standing up to that and saying that we will not accept racism as part of our national program, and we will not accept sexism and misogyny and violence against the LGBT community and against immigrants and against religious minorities.” Though there were only four police officers

I’m a little bit upset that someone who’s supported by the KKK, by the American Nazi party, and preaches phobia and bigotry and misogyny has been elected.” Anthony Sherriff

surveying the protest at the beginning, as the two groups became more aggressive, several more officers were called to the scene. Three hours into the protest, the Trump supporters began playing the national anthem, Bruce Springsteen songs and Dixie to drown out the noise of those chanting. Pins and posters supporting Trump were also distributed among the Trump supporters, and a Trump flag was thrown on the ground and stomped on as the conflict escalated. “There’s no need. You already won. Go home,” Jeff Gallagher, sophomore in English, said. “There’s no need to get in the faces of the people who are actually going to be affected by him … I’m just afraid somebody is going to attack them (minority groups) for their views or their sexual orientation.” In response to the growing crowd of Trump supporters, “Not My President” protesters formed an “ally wall” around their group by standing and linking hands. Some stepped outside the “wall” and attempted to physically block the Trump supporters by using their signs and their bodies as barriers. One Trump supporter filed a police report against one of the “Not My President” protesters after he allegedly pushed her to the ground. “I was pushed to the ground for simply holding my flag,” Danielle Shepherd, freshman in pre-pharmacy, said. “My flag was stolen, and I was shoved to the ground.” Shepherd was escorted to the police station

“

and said she intends to press charges. Eventually, the opposing crowds merged into one when multiple, individual arguments developed and the seated “Not My President” protesters stood to join the crowd. Several physical altercations occurred between the opposing groups, and at least one fight broke out between them. Police quickly stepped in and broke up the fight before both protesters involved fled the scene. The protest attracted a crowd of spectators that extended into the HSS amphitheatre, up Pedestrian Walkway and the path leading to Hodges Library. Several UT administrators from the Division of Student Life appeared sporadically throughout the afternoon but did not address the crowd. Some students, although supporting the “Not My President” movement, thought the protest was largely ineffective. “I’m glad that I’m here, and I completely support all of these voices and this cause. However, I don’t think it’s going to be producing any conducive change … It needs to be more of a dialogue amongst our communities, a therapeutic, constructive conversation,” Doug Kievit, senior in psychology and communications, said. The protest lasted almost five hours and saw a turnout of more than 100 students and faculty. Another “Not my President” protest is scheduled at 8:30 p.m. at Market Square on Thursday, Nov. 10. S

We need to open that dialogue. We need to make deals. We need stand up to our enemies. At the end of the day we’re all Americans; We just think there are different solutions to the same problem.”

several errors over the course of the game. Younger, more experienced players getting more playing time than previous seasons is a substantial part of this trend. Head coach Rob Patrick has stressed being aware of and fixing these unforced errors all year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just have to be a little more focused,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just need to start making plays. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about.

Keeping these errors to a minimum, especially in unfamiliar territory, will be integral in pulling out a win against a team looking for retribution. Sedona Hansen has been one of multiple freshman to heavily contribute this season. She has had multiple 50 assist games and several double doubles. Making the jump from high school to the college level in any sport is an entirely new level of difficulty, but Hansen has adjusted to it very well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give credit to the coaches and the players, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped me transition from high school to college,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge, huge transition, but coming in over the summer the girls really helped me connect with hitters, and the tempo and the timing. theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really helped.â&#x20AC;? Hansen will figure to be a key part in the Volunteer game plan versus Ole Miss this coming Friday. She was a strong piece of their victory in Knoxville, posting 32 assists and a staggering 66.7 hitting percentage. The game will begin at noon in the Gillom Sports Center in Oxford, Mississippi. The Volsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game will be against the Arkansas #7 Erica Treiber at the net blocking an attack from Missouri on November 4, Razorbacks in Fayetteville this Sunday, Nov. 13. 2016 at Thompson Boling Arena.

Track and field teams prepare for championship qualification races Staff Report As the end of the cross country season begins, the Tennessee cross country team isn’t focusing on the possibility of competing for the NCAA national championships just yet. First, they have to qualify, and the squad will have its chance on Friday, Nov. 11, as they travel “At the NCAA Championships, the finals, there’s 31 teams,” Tennessee director of track and field and cross country Beth Alford-Sullivan said. “We have about 310 schools that host cross country. About 10 percent of the teams get to the national championship. But you get there through your regional championship. “We’re in the South Region. On the same day, approximately around the same time, everybody races in their regional championship, and you qualify into the national championships at that meet.” The Volunteers will look toward their standout runners to give them a boost on Friday. Juniors Andre Hillsman and Nick Brey finished second and third for Tennessee at the SEC

Championship on Oct. 28 and could provide a spark at Tallahassee. Freshman Megan Murray, who will look to continue her breakout season performance, and sophomore “We go in one; the men’s side ranked, I think, ninth in our region,” Alford-Sullivan said. “So this young group is very focused on trying to stay in the top ten and have a good performance. But we also move distance for the men. We go from five miles or eight thousand meters to a full 10 thousand meters. So it changes. “No one has really raced a 10 thousand all season, so you kind of go in there and you might have a great day and end up a little better than you thought or you might have a day where that extra 2K really takes its toll on you. So it’s a great experience, especially for these young squads, the men and women. Just so young. They need to get down there and race.” Tennessee will compete at Apalachee Regional Park on Friday. The women’s 6K race will begin at 8:30 a.m. ET, while the men’s 10K race kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET. to Tallahassee, Florida for the NCAA South Region Championship.

Vols could get key pieces back as they prepare for Kentucky Taylor Crombie Contributor

It’s been common to see the Kentucky Wildcats ahead of the Vols in the SEC East men’s basketball standings over the past few years. But it’s not as common to see the Vols trailing the Cats during football season. Tennessee (6-3, 2-3 SEC) and Kentucky (5-4, 4-3) will meet for the 112th time on Saturday at Neyland Stadium for a game that could have a huge impact on the race for the SEC East. The Volunteers need to win all of their remaining games to stay in the running for the division title, but a loss to Kentucky could shake things up. The Wildcats are currently second in the East and could take the division if a few things happen. They would need to win their final conference game against Tennessee and have Florida lose its last two conference games. History is on the Vols’ side considering they lead the series 78-24-9 and the last time Tennessee lost to Kentucky at home was in 1984. But even if Tennessee does beat Kentucky, the Volunteers still need Florida to lose to either South Carolina this week or LSU the next to win the SEC East. Kentucky is also a much more competitive team this year. Tennessee head coach Butch Jones talked about the challenge that linebacker Jordan Jones and the rest of the Wildcat’s defense presents on Wednesday. “Jordan Jones adds a whole other dynamic on their defense, he’s very quick and very explosive,” Jones said. “They have a very good defensive front, they’re very disruptive. Both linebackers are really good. They’re edge players, I think that’s the biggest difference in their defense this year.” Everything seems be to going Tennessee’s way, though. After the shutting out Tennessee Tech 55-0 in the Homecoming Game and Florida losing to Arkansas, Tennessee fans received more good news at the beginning of

the week. Team captains Cam Sutton and Alvin Kamara might be back for the Kentucky game. Sutton and Kamara returned to practice earlier this week but remain game-time decisions for Saturday against Kentucky. Sutton has been out since he fractured his ankle in the Ohio game on Sept. 17 and has missed the majority of his senior year. Kamara, meanwhile, has been out with a knee injury from the Alabama game on Oct. 15. “They’ve practiced in every period, they’ve done a very good job and you can see the excitement,” Jones said. “I think there was a lot of energy on the practice field relative to them being out there and practicing on Monday.” Both Kamara and Sutton have been valuable assets for the Vols on special teams, but the enhanced risk of injury in those roles is something that Coach Jones said he will have to consider going forward with the remainder of the season. While getting good field position is important to Jones, he is more focused on their health, especially with the SEC East still up for grabs. “We’ll be very, very selective in terms of their involvement on special teams,” Jones said. “We just want to make sure they’re healthy and ready to contribute.” Jones and the team credit their ability to stay competitive without players like Sutton and Kamara to their teammates’ willingness to step up in their absence but replacing such versatile players is not an easy task. Senior defensive lineman LaTroy Lewis expressed his confidence in the Vols’ depth on Wednesday but is excited about the possibility of having Sutton back for the game against Kentucky. “I have tremendous faith in every DE that we put on the field, every corner, every safety, every linebacker, but it would be awesome to have Cam back,” Lewis said. “He’s a phenomenal football player.” Versatility is not the only attribute that the Volunteers have missed. Sophomore linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr.

Cameron Sutton, #23, walks to the locker room after the loss against Alabama on Oct. 15, 2016. Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon is happy to have Sutton back because of the veteran knowledge and presence he brings to the team. “It definitely speaks volumes to have your captain back on the field,” Kirkland Jr. said. “Especially in our back end, he brings veteran leadership as a guy who’s been through all sce-

narios in the four years since he’s been here, so I’m really looking forward to his leadership throughout the rest of the week in practice and this Saturday in the game.” The Vols kickoff against the Wildcats this Saturday at 12 p.m. The game will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

The SEC Network will step away from its typical broadcast this weekend. Tennessee’s swimming and diving season resumes at home on Friday, Nov. 11, when the Volunteers take on Auburn at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center at 1 p.m., and it’s all being broadcasted on the SEC Network. This gives the SEC Network crew the opportunity to do a test run and allows the Vols to experience having a broadcast crew at the pool before they host the SEC Championships in February 2017. Having a broadcast crew there could be considered a distraction, but the team sees it more as motivation to perform well. “I think it makes it more exciting because we’re going to be on TV,” junior Sam McHugh said. “You’ve got to look good, (and) you’ve got to swim fast, so it’s going to be exciting.” Head coach Matt Kredich shares that excitement with the team, but he is treating it like any other meet at this point in the season. “It’s a treat for us to be able to have the attention of a feature television audience,” Kredich said. “But it’s still November and we’re putting together performances for February and March, so I don’t think we feel like this is a really different quality meet. It’s just a little more attention, a little more exciting.” Both Auburn’s men’s and women’s teams are ranked No. 10 in the nation and are unde-

feated so far. Most recently, Auburn defeated Alabama’s No. 5 ranked men’s team 166-134 and the No. 25 ranked women 225-75. While the diving and men’s swimming teams have had a long break in the action, the women’s swimming team is coming off of a 148-119 win against Vanderbilt last Friday, Nov. 4, at Centennial Sportsplex. The Vanderbilt meet was a great experience for the women’s team in a few ways. Not only did the women perform well against a program that has gotten stronger in the last few years, it was also a chance for them to strengthen their bond as a team and boost their confidence before their next meet at home. “There were a lot of good things that came from the meet,” Kredich said. “One was that we had a few people either win their first college event or be really competitive in an event that they haven’t necessarily been competitive in before, so it was good for the confidence of the team.” Freshman were a huge factor at the meet and were responsible for four of Tennessee’s individual wins. Tess Cieplucha won the 200yard freestyle with a time of 1:51.42, and Meghan Small took the 100 IM in 56.53. Erika Brown and redshirt freshman Emily Allen collected their first collegiate wins at Centennial Sportsplex, Brown in the 100 freestyle (1:52.42) and Allen in 50 freestyle (50.91). “It was just so much fun to be able to compete and, from redshirting last year, be able to get back in and do some cool things,” Allen said.
