University recycling program lacks funding Harmful wastes sold to irresponsible recycling companies hurt global environment Jamie Greig Staff Writer According to environmental experts and those responsible for recycling and disposal at UT, lack of funding and regulation means electronic waste is being disposed of without care and is even having an effect on pollution in developing nations. “Electronic items are not regulated by law, not in this state,” UT environmental coordinator Jay Price said. “There are some states that regulate it. But there are no federal laws that control the disposal of electronic waste.” Price and his assistant, Emmy Waldhart, work within UT’s facility services department on the un-budgeted recycling program. The bulk of electronic waste is sold to the general public through UT’s surplus service facility. “For the most part these items are bought by re-sellers,” said head of surplus Bill Keanaaina. “Now, do these re-sellers handle the items responsibly we don’t know, but unless there are laws that control it we don’t restrict it.” Despite the university pushing its Make Orange Green environmental campaign, it is up to the on-campus environmental safety and health department to provide funds so that Price’s recycling methods can be paid for. “We could definitely use some additional support institutionally,” Price said. “I mean, O.K., we need to recycle as it’s doing ‘x,’ ‘y’ and ‘z’ for the university. And we really haven’t seen that top-down support — here’s a budget, here’s staff, here’s the equipment you need to operate the program.” Neither the university’s recycling nor surplus programs have an operating budget to work with. “You start out at the beginning of the year in a hole and hope by the end of it that you are out of that hole,” Keanaaina said. In order to make up for the shortfall in funding, Price sells material to recycling companies but admits that from there the
items can end up anywhere. “There are actually not any contracts, university or state-wide, that provide for the recycling of batteries or electronic waste. There are recycling companies, responsible or otherwise. Some of them have third-party auditors who follow the material trail; the others, well, who knows what happens,” he said. “I can’t control where products end up. I sell recyclable material to the market and from there it could go anywhere.” Price only recycles the electronic items that Keanaaina cannot sell through the surplus public auctions that take place every six weeks from a warehouse on the outskirts of campus. The items sold in these auctions gain on average 10 percent of their original value, encouraging their purchase by lowend scrap traders. “The highest bidder is awarded the surplus,” Waldhart said. “So they have no control over who is the highest bidder or what the highest bidder does with the material.” But, Keanaaina stressed that it is lack of regulations, both state and federally, that are to blame for any items causing environmental harm both at home and abroad. “When you go out and buy a product, the dealer has no concern over what happens once you have purchased it, whether the batteries go bad or whatever,” he said. “Unless there are legal requirements, licenses or such, then we cannot not sell it to the public.” This lack of regulation not only allows for improper disposal practices but also stops the seller from tracking where the material ends up. “Where a lot of this stuff ends up we don’t really know; that depends on export licenses and at that point it is up to the federal government to regulate. Now, a lot of these items end up in the third world, telephone equipment, etc., because to us this stuff is obsolete,” Keanaaina said. “Now when it gets there, is it handled responsibly? I think Tara Sripunvoraskul • The Daily Beacon some care and some don’t really want to Students walk past a huge ball of trash on the Pedestrian Mall on Wednesday, Oct. know.” 12. Although UT is focusing on becoming a greener university, there is still a great deal of work remaining to have a truly environmentally friendly campus. See ENVIRONMENT on Page 3
Golden leads Vols to victory over Warhawks Sam Scott Staff Writer The Tennessee Volunteers (2-0) beat the University of Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks (0-3) 85-62 Wednesday night in Thompson-Boling Arena. With 10 minutes remaining in the game, sophomore point guard Trae Golden was fouled behind the 3-point line and made all three free throws. Tennessee took a 49-48 lead in the game, which, for the majority, had been back and forth. This play proved to be the momentum Tennessee needed to break the stalemate. The Vols then went on a 27-9 run, expanded the lead to 19 points and never looked back. “Coach Webster, one of our assistant coaches, came to me and told me I need to lead better,” Golden, who led UT with 17 points and added 11 assists, said. “So when he came to me and said that, I was just trying my hardest to make sure everybody got shots and talk more.” Despite being a sophomore, Golden provided leadership at a critical point in the game. “I think that the team feeds off of me, and that’s something I have to be conscious of and be ready to take that challenge and make sure in every game to bring that intensity and energy,” Golden said. Out of the gate, the Vols took a 9-0 lead, with Golden leading offensively and the team playing tough on the defensive end of the court. “I thought Trae, once again, had a good night, thought he did a good job keeping his composure and stepping up to the challenge on the defensive side of the ball,” Vols coach Cuonzo Martin said. ULM played the Vols tight in the first half — neither team was able to open up a substantial lead. “I have to give a lot of credit to Tia Patron • The Daily Beacon Louisiana-Monroe, the way they cut on Jeronne Maymon rises up over ULM defenders during a game in Thompson-Boling offense, they way they executed their Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Maymon helped the Vols on a 29-9 second-half run to offense,” Martin said. “I didn’t think we beat the Warhawks 85-62.
did a very good job in the first half defending. But I think a lot of credit goes to those guys.” ULM guard Fred Brown hit a 3-pointer to give the Warhawks a 1-point lead, but Tennessee replied with a Skylar McBee three. McBee finished with a career-high 15 points and went 5-for-9 from 3-point range. “When the open shot comes, you take it,” McBee said. “(McBee) practiced hard,” Martin said. “He practices at a high level every day.” ULM would take the lead again on an R.J. McCray basket, but Tennessee answered with a three from senior Cameron Tatum. McBee stole the ball on the next possession and Golden was able to score in transition to give Tennessee the 29-25 lead. The teams went to the locker room tied 33-33. ULM’s preseason All-Sun Belt guard Fred Brown led the Warhawks in the first half with 10 points but also committed four fouls in the first 20 minutes, which kept him on the bench for a large portion of the second half. Throughout the game there were eight lead changes. Tennessee struggled to make shots from the field. This, along with turnovers, prevented the Vols from taking control of the game until Golden’s key 3-point play at the foul line. “Coach told us to be patient, let the offense develop and let everything come to us,” forward Jeronne Maymon said. “I think that really helped us.” The Vols took charge of the game from there. Good defense and solid shooting helped Tennessee push the lead to 69-55. Tatum made two straight 3-pointers on the next two possessions, and the Vols led 75-57. ULM never recovered. Next, the Vols head to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational. Their first game will be Monday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. EST against the sixth-ranked Duke Blue Devils.

1856 — U.S. establishes Fort Buchanan On this day, the United States buttresses its control over the Gadsden Purchase with the establishment of Fort Buchanan. Named for recently elected President James Buchanan, Fort Buchanan was located on the Sonoita River in present-day southern Arizona. The U.S. acquired the bulk of the southwestern corner of the nation from Mexico in 1848 as victors’ spoil after the Mexican War. However, congressional leaders, eager to begin construction of a southern railroad, wished to push the border farther to the south. The government directed the American minister to Mexico, James Gadsden, to negotiate the purchase of an additional 29,000 square miles. Despite having been badly beaten in war only five years earlier and forced to cede huge tracts of land to the victorious Americans, the Mexican ruler Santa Ana was eager to do business with the U.S. Having only recently regained power, Santa Ana was in danger of losing office unless he could quickly find funds to replenish his nearly bankrupt nation. Gadsden and Santa Ana agreed that the narrow strip of southwestern desert land was worth $10 million. When the treaty was signed on Dec. 30, 1853, it became the last addition of territory (aside from the purchase of Alaska in 1867) to the continental United States. The purchase completed the modern-day boundaries of the American West. The government established Fort Buchanan to protect emigrants traveling through the new territory from the Apache Indians, who were strongly resisting Anglo incursions. However, the government was never able to fulfill its original purpose for buying the land and establishing the fort — a southern transcontinental railroad. With the outbreak of the Civil War four years later, northern politicians abandoned the idea of a southern line in favor of a northern route that eventual-
ly became the Union Pacific line. 1863 — The Siege of Knoxville begins On this day in 1863, Confederate General James Longstreet places the city of Knoxville, Tennessee, under siege. After two weeks and one failed attack, he abandoned the siege and rejoined General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. The Knoxville campaign began in November when Longstreet took 17,000 troops from Chattanooga and moved to secure eastern Tennessee for the Confederates. Longstreet’s corps was normally part of Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, but after the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in July 1863, Longstreet took two of his divisions to shore up the Confederate effort in the West. He and his troops participated in the victory at Chickamauga in September and the siege of Chattanooga in October and November. Longstreet quarreled with Braxton Bragg, the Confederate commander in the West, and was given independent command of the Department of East Tennessee. Longstreet took his troops and moved toward Knoxville. Facing him was General Ambrose Burnside and 5,000 Yankees. Burnside fought a delaying action at Campbell Station on Nov. 16 before retreating into the Knoxville defenses. The next day, Longstreet pulled into position around the north side of the city, but could not cut off supplies to the Union troops. Longstreet waited for reinforcements to arrive, which they did on Nov. 28. He attacked, but was repulsed with heavy loses. Longstreet continued the siege in order to draw troops away from Chattanooga. The ruse worked, and 25,000 Union troops were dispatched from Chattanooga to chase Longstreet’s force away. Ultimately, Longstreet retreated back to Virginia. His Knoxville campaign was disappointing for the Confederates, who had hoped to secure eastern Tennessee. Longstreet rejoined Lee in the spring after his disappointing turn as head of an independent command. — This Day in History is courtesy of History.com.

ENVIRONMENT continued from Page 1 If surplus cannot sell the items, then it is up to Price and Waldhart to find ways to dispose of them safely. “The items we receive from surplus that can’t be sold, there are no legal requirements for us to dispose of them safely,” Waldhart said. “We do it because we don’t want them ending up in general waste and causing pollution.” Price is worried that lack of funding as well as regulations mean the bulk of electronic waste in the state ends up creating devastating environmental harm. “For me it’s troublesome that there aren’t federal regulations that say you can’t just throw this stuff into a landfill,” Price said. “Because they do contain lead, they do contain cadmium, they do contain mercury in a lot of instances, and this stuff will end up getting into the environment.” These effects are particularly worrying for those at UT whose work involves researching environmental effects of human pollution. Dr. Gregory Button, professor of anthropology at UT specializing in manmade disasters, described how Waldhart met with him to discuss issues surrounding the university’s disposal of electronic equipment and hazardous waste process. “We have no idea where these computers and other bits of electronics are going,” Button said. “People just come and buy them by the pallet and ship them out. So we’re just perpetuating the problem. “So the question is, why aren’t we either recycling this stuff on campus, or, better than that, taking the stuff we don’t use and donating it to places who

NEWS need the equipment such as third-world schools or science facilities who could really use them?” This is an issue that is personal to Button, who lived and worked in the Hangzhou province of China next to a backyard recycling area where families would strip down used batteries and gather the lead to sell to manufacturing plants. He recalled how the children of these families use everyday kitchen utensils to break up the batteries and then the parents would use these to cook and eat with, putting the lead straight into their diet. “More than that, they were doing this right next to an open stream, so the lead was also seeping right into the ecosystem,” Button said. “And will stay there for hundreds of years damaging plant life as well as affecting thousands of other families.” Button’s personal story is supported by research gathered by UT civil engineering professor Chris Cherry. Cherry’s study focused on China and India, where poor manufacturing and recycling practices result in the loss of considerable amounts of lead to the environment. “The fact that most of these other countries lose almost 30 percent of their lead to the environment through informal recycling is just unacceptable,” Cherry said. In order to overcome this, Cherry contends that developing countries need to introduce strong policies, strong economic instruments as well as formalized recycle and take-back systems. His research found that environmentally friendly recycling plants cannot gain access to lead because of backyard smelters who extract lead from used batteries illegally and in unhealthy conditions. He admits it is hard for Western
companies to initiate change in developing countries. “There is this notion of producer responsibility. That is, the producer consumes green products and they take care of their waste,” Cherry said. “The problem with some of these developing countries is that these systems are going to rural areas and are off-grid generally.” Cherry’s paper was co-authored by Better Environmental Sustainability Targets (BEST), an industry-supported battery eco-label NGO from San Francisco. “Certain companies, responsible companies, whether they are solar photovoltaic or car companies, will say they will only purchase batteries from producers who will only manufacture according to international standards,” Cherry said. Cherry said he believes this is the best way for the industry to target the problem, as it will give the lead-acid battery sector an incentive to clean up. Those involved in the process at UT believe responsibility cannot be placed at the door of the people who are trying to find a place for the waste to be accepted. “You know, if you put your nose too far into where it doesn’t belong, then, as they say, it’s going to get chopped off,” Keanaaina said. “So sometimes we cannot go outside of the confines of the university.” All parties agree it is up to individual states and the federal government to create laws and regulations in order to overcome the environmental impact of electronic waste disposal. Price said that if the state and university are serious about tackling the issue, then they need to show support by providing adequate funding to a policy that is struggling to cope with the demands placed on it.
Lecturer discusses Southern history Morgan Liv McConnell Staff Writer Professor Susanna Delfino, a specialist in economic and social antebellum history, recently journeyed to UT from her native Genoa, Italy, with an interesting aim — to make Southern students more aware of their own history. Delfino, whose two-week stay in the United States was made possible by a grant through UT’s Ready for the World exchange program, hoped to help accomplish this through her speeches. “My main purpose here has been to lecture,” she said. “I gave two lectures for the course in cinema studies taught by professor Flavia Brizio-Skov. The topic of the course this year was ‘Women in World Cinema,’ so my contribution has consisted of analyzing the female characters in movies about the old South.” Last week, Delfino gave a final lecture titled “Belles No More,” which centered on what is arguably the South’s most timeless and beloved portrayal — the 1939 classic, “Gone with the Wind.” “‘Gone with the Wind’ is such an important film about the Old South because it is the only popular one that does not portray antebellum South in a negative light,” she explained. Clayton Gupton, junior in Italian and attendee of the lecture, spoke positively of Delfino’s address. “Professor Delfino sheds light on what American women had to endure during the pre-Civil War era,” he said. “The importance of her message, for me, paints a clear picture of where we were then and where we are now.” Renée D’Elia-Zunino, professor in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Literature, who coincidentally also hails from the Genoa region of Italy, agreed with Gupton’s admiring view of Delfino. “Susanna is a well-known scholar, clever in her statements, and never boring,” she said. “Her lectures are always fantastically interesting because she delivers a lot of passion to her arguments and uses many examples, which help participants understand her points.” By listening to someone as well-educated about Southern history as Delfino, D’Elia-Zunino believes that the rewards to be reaped are considerable. “Students may discover facts they were not aware of; for example, the true nature of these so-called ‘belles,’ who were far from being the stereotyped selfish and totally men-dependent women,” she said. “Some were strong and well educated, although for the main purpose of being well prepared to have an advantageous marriage.” Delfino’s own interest in these women’s history ideas began relatively recently. Her fascination with the old South, on the other hand, has been life-long.
“I was already interested in American history by the time I was a university student,” she said. “I took a course and discovered all these aspects of Southern history that were virtually unknown in Italy. There were certain stereotypes when thinking about American history — the Revolutionary War, the winning of the West. But there is a lot more to American history and I discovered all these things that, in the 1970s, were not known at all.” Delfino describes an “academic revolution” as having taken place in Italy at this time. “Scholars began to write about aspects of Southern history different than what had traditionally been taught about the plantation economy,” she said. “The image of the slaves, for instance, changed completely. New studies were done by scholars who finally portrayed the slave culture as an autonomous one, not merely something they had absorbed from the whites. It was these aspects of nontraditional history that first sparked my interest in the South.” Delfino followed that spark overseas, coming to UT to study industrialization in Tennessee in the early 1980s. “I came to Tennessee for the first time through a full-ride scholarship,” she said. “I began with a case study here, and then I wrote my first book on social and economic transformation of the antebellum South with evidence from Tennessee and other states as well.” Now, 30-odd years later, Delfino says she is well accustomed to utilizing Hodges Library. “I have done research in this library for almost all of my books,” she said. These written works include five monographs, four additive volumes co-written with American professors and several essays. This list is expected to grow by the end of next year, when Delfino’s current brainchild is published. “My interests lately have been women, and I am presently writing a book which is based on the biography of a Kentucky lady,” she said. “It is a history of domestic service in Southern households in the late antebellum era. I have been further researching it during my stay here, and when it is published, I might come back and give a presentation.” Fans of Delfino, like Gupton, certainly hope she will. “I appreciate what professor Brizio did for our cinema class by giving us the opportunity to meet a very fascinating figure in the study of cinema,” Gupton said. “Arrivederci a presto professoressa Delfino.”
Governor hopeful scammed in Ukraine The Associated Press KIEV, Ukraine — The former write-in candidate for Arizona governor traveled to Ukraine looking for love. He ended up hungry and sick in a homeless shelter — the victim of an Internet dating scam. Social workers were stunned to find Cary Dolego, 53, sitting on a city street last Wednesday, behaving strangely and suffering from pneumonia. Dolego, who ran for Arizona governor just last year, had traveled to Ukraine this spring to do research for an engineering project and look for a wife. He says he met a woman named Yulia online and, hoping to marry her, went to her hometown of Chernivtsi. She never showed up. With nowhere to go and no money left, Dolego spent days roaming the streets of Chernivtsi along with other homeless men until he was picked up by social workers and taken to a shelter. He spoke to The Associated Press by phone Wednesday from a hospital where he was being treated for pneumonia. “I was looking for a Ukrainian mate, a partner, somebody who would stay with me, be my wife,” Dolego said. “All the Slavic ladies in this part of the world are absolutely delightful.” Social workers were shocked. “He looked bad — his clothes were dirty, he was dirty, he looked like a typical homeless man,” said Anastasia Beridze of the Narodna Dopomoha (People’s Help) charity. A woman who acknowledges being Yulia says she had been unaware of Dolego’s existence during the Internet fling. The woman, who declined to give her last name out of fear of attracting publicity, said in an interview with the AP that someone had hacked into her account on an Internet dating site and had been communicating with Dolego on her behalf, charging Dolego for those e-mails. The woman, who was contacted through a mobile phone number provided by Dolego, acknowledged that the account he’d been inter-
acting with on the site was hers. She denied being part of any scam. “What happened is ugly,” she said. Yulia, a 29-year-old doctor by training, said that after she found out what happened to Dolego, she paid him a visit to express her sympathy. “I went to the hospital and he started hugging me: ‘Oh Yulia, oh Yulia!’ I was shocked,” she said. “He thought we were getting married.” Dolego confirmed that she visited him and he believes they could still be together. “We seemed to hit it off,” Dolego said. “She wants to continue with the relationship.” Yulia has a different take. “He is not really my type,” she said. Before his Ukrainian adventure, Dolego, of Queen Creek, Arizona, says he was pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in organizational studies at the University of Arizona. Passionate about engineering, he claims to have designed a “lifesaving” method to keep ships from sinking and aircraft from disintegrating during a crash. He says he sold his house, truck and motorbike and left for Ukraine to further study the method here. But Dolego, a twice divorced father of three, also had another goal — finding love with a beautiful East European woman. After finding no support for his project in various Ukrainian cities and being evicted from a room he was renting, he said he boarded a train to Chernivtsi, hoping finally to meet his Yulia and settle down. After he arrived, Yulia stopped answering his emails. With his U.S. bank account frozen and no means of supporting himself, he said, he became a homeless man. He was reduced to sleeping on the streets and seeking shelter at a local railway station, according to social workers. “Things befall people that they cannot predict,” Dolego said. “I will work through it.” Beridze said that besides being understandably worn out and ill after days of living on the streets, Dolego was exhibiting abnormal behavior. “He talks a lot and gestures a lot. He is acting strangely.”

OPINIONS
Going
Somewhere... Hopefully Web unnervingly infringes on privacy Preston Peeden Managing Editor I opened up my Internet browser solely out of curiosity. I could not help but wonder what I would find once I typed in one of my parent’s names. My heartbeat quickened with every passing keystroke. By the time I had typed “n” and pressed “Enter,” I realized that all privacy from my life was gone. The website Spokeo not only had my mom’s age listed, but also an image and the address for my family’s home, the number of people living there, my family’s religious beliefs, ages and even the estimated annual income of my family. That is way too much information for my liking. With the advent of websites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, more and more information about ourselves is being posted and recorded on the Internet. While this may not seem like the worst thing in the world (and it is true that social networking sites do allow people to establish relationships with new people, and reestablish some old ones), once that information is up on the Internet, it is there forever. Facebook has no inclination to delete or remove your information once you post it. Instead it is catalogued, saved and — depending on your privacy settings — available for mass viewing by whoever can do a Google search. With all of this information floating aimlessly throughout the web, the dangers are obvious. Not only is this information sent out to companies who pay those sites to get insight on what advertisements to use, but it is also dangerous for not only your own bodily harm (as numerous instances of stalking and robbery have been reported with their cause being only possible through checking the victim’s Facebook for their schedule or times that they expect to be out of town) or even hurting one’s career (as a series of raunchy posts, tweets and pictures can turn even the most hirable candidate into a dud). But things that show up on social networking sites are the least of my worries. In some way, shape or form, whatever gets put on your profile is done with your own knowledge or consent. What frightens me about this growing trend of
information dissemination are sites like Spokeo that publish this information without consent. When I saw the Google Maps image of my home on Spokeo, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat violated. How did this site know where I live? And why did it make (for the most part inaccurate) guesses about my family’s and my own lifestyle? To me, this site violated one of my most sacred rights, the right to privacy. For years, the bubble of privacy has been shrinking for people across the world. Today, privacy is nearly nonexistent. Google can use your search preferences to give you ads that might suit your liking, Facebook can reach you at any moment’s notice and websites like Spokeo collect all possible contact information available on the Internet and display it (regardless of whether or not it is blocked). I can understand why celebrities expect little and are given little privacy. They are in the public eye and form a part of the public fascination. But what am I to any other person? What is my family? I’m just a college student who lives off of peanut butter sandwiches and spends the majority of his day reading for class. With the exception of this column, I try as hard as possible to live outside the public eye. And yet, despite my best efforts, my privacy is violated. And the consequences of this are serious. Ayn Rand once wrote, “Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.” While I don’t necessarily agree with Rand’s assertion of privacy as a vehicle of civilization, I do agree with her idea of the importance of privacy. Privacy allows us to be unfettered by the judgments, opinions and actions of others. In private, we can be who and what we truly are. There are no limitations set upon you. But as long as our privacy is violated, then fear of societal pressures can stop us from ever truly being ourselves. While technology has made the world a closer and (for the most part) better place, its downsides are numerous. With our growing loss of privacy, not only can we harm our physical selves, but also our emotional selves. So the next time you Google yourself, don’t be surprised how accurate the search results turn out to be. — Preston Peeden is a junior in history. He can be reached at ppeeden@utk.edu.

No NBA, no one seems to notice C ommit tee o f I n f ra ct i o n s by
Gregory Bearringer I am really trying to get myself to care about the NBA lockout. I have said since the beginning (well, to no one in particular, but still) that this lockout was no NFL lockout; I really do think that this lockout is going the distance and that there won’t be any NBA basketball until next season. In fact, I expect the new deal won’t even be announced until June 2012. You see, the reason I want so badly to care about the NBA lockout is that for those who may have missed it, the last three seasons of the NBA have been really good. I am not talking about the drama; the level of play has been much improved. I think a large part of the improvement has been a renaissance of point-guard play, which had really fallen off in the post-Michael Jordan era of the late 90s and early aughts. LeBron is a great player, but there is also Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Derek Rose, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin and a host of really fun, good-if-not-great players like Kevin Love and Steph Curry. Just about every team had reason for hope last year, be it in big-city contenders or small-market also-rans. But, as I was told last weekend, the thing is that all but the die-hards have decided no one cares. The issue at hand, I think, is how basketball fits into our lives. Weekends in the fall and early winter are all football, all the time. Football fits into the school and holiday schedules perfectly. Baseball owns summer; a baseball fan can slowly follow a team as it builds and builds. The only time basketball “owns” is March, when college basketball becomes the American World Cup. Pro basketball, however, is in the most boring part of the season for 85 percent of fans because 10 of the 16 playoff seeds are pretty much locked up and a good number of the rest of the league is watching college basketball to find its next star. The thing is that college basketball has been the better product for the last decade without hardly any
competition. And, once March Madness ends, the NFL draft comes along in April. Believe me, many fans of the NBA and NFL would probably watch Mel Kiper, Jr. get into a fight with Todd McShay about a third-round pick out of The Citadel more often than they would the Charlotte Bobcats take on the Toronto Raptors. What has been most frustrating to listen to is the constant talk about race. One of the Gumbels — Bryant, I think — brought up the image of slavery, which is about as dumb as you can get. One of my favorite basketball writers, Andrew Feinstein, cried “racism” when others looked at the players’ position and said, “Uh, the owners have all the real power and are losing money on a game that will make you millionaires either way; you might want to think about a pay cut. If you don’t, that’s not really smart.” It is clear that the players are really trying to get themselves worked up to teachers’ union revolt levels without nearly the degree of ideological clout behind them. It is also clear that an NBA team can “lose” a pretty good chunk of money and the owners will still go home to trophy wives and mansions. As all these reports come out, I have almost given up hope that “good talks” will lead to real negotiation, because that hasn’t ever really seemed to be the case. In fact, these breaking reports of a close deal end up just being random rumors founded on little more than an incremental shift in profit allocation. So I have decided I am going to care about this mess because it is entertaining. As people in the real world look for some hope in the economy, as people protest because college debt sucks when you don’t have a job, as a series of Republican candidates awkwardly gesticulate for positioning, as real teachers’ unions get decertified against their will and have more work heaped on them from above (a problem right here in Tennessee), and even as college football — the ultimate simulacra — begins to feel a little too real because of actions up at University Park, Penn., pompous millionaires brandish their impotence in the face of mostly flippant billionaires, the NBA shows that it’s clueless, and has proven almost without a doubt not only that few people care, but that even less people will notice when it returns. — Gregory Bearringer is a graduate student in medieval studies.

Maturity is a hard concept to understand no matter what age you are. It is a distinct feature that is easily distinguished in a person, but is also just as hard to realize in yourself. We all think we mature as we age, but rarely is this the case. Age and maturity are not necessarily compliments. One is a constant reminder of time that continues to move without any need to adapt to one’s plans. The other is a state of mind, an adjective that describes a humanistic characteristic. It is hard to realize the actual act of maturing. When a person is in the process of maturing, it is hard to pinpoint the time or date when the change started. Inevitably, the easiest point of realization is when people just understand that they have become different people. They have slowly grown apart to achieve different dreams and different aspirations. Life has dealt the two people completely different hands that no longer compliment each other like a perfect hand of Spades. It is that dreaded break-up quote: “We are just two different people now.” I have found that maturing is one of the hardest evolutions known to man. Rarely is maturity gained at the same speed as anyone else around you. Maturity causes loss of friends. Maturity causes strains on relationships. Maturity is a complex entity that leaves no room for stable ground because as one moves toward it, so much of what is around the individual stays stagnant. It is with this realization that you are moving while others are not that is so daunting and brings many people back down to their original state. Maturity is like boarding a train with a oneway ticket. You do not know if the train is a highspeed bullet train or a train that will mosey along around the countryside. You do not know if the track is straight to the destination, or if there are
mountains and valleys that have to be traversed. Sometimes you find yourself waking up on the train without getting the chance to tell all the people you love good-bye. Other times, the train will slowly pull out of the station and you will get the chance to wave bye to the passersby and friends alike with the absolute knowledge that you will not be seeing them for a long time. We all bask in the thought that we are becoming more mature individuals. It is one of the many emotions and developments that can change an entire lifetime, and at the same time, is one of the most profound realizations. Maturity is moving forward. Society has deemed it as such. As we move toward graduation and jobs, these are also characteristics of moving forward, but our adult actions do not mark true maturity. Rather, these adult actions are just steps toward our inevitable destinies. Maturity is more than just pretending to be an adult. It is incorporating life lessons, knowledge and wisdom to propel ourselves to a new point. These life lessons change lifetimes and change dreams. They change the people around you and so drastically change the individual who is maturing. Age and maturity will always be distinctly different. The actions of an 8-year-old can be astonishingly mature, and the actions of a 27-yearold can be the exact opposite. There is no precise time frame within which one takes these steps forward. At times, we do not even have the luxury of getting to take the steps at a specific, desired time. It is almost exclusively in times of trouble that maturation occurs, but it is in these times that maturity is the most daunting plan of action. In the end, maturity means doing things that you know are good for yourself without anybody’s guidance or pressure. It is stepping back from a situation to really understand every side and learn to mold the answers to fit all those involved. It, perhaps, does not always mean doing the morally right thing, but turning to the answers that can be found in the wisdom life has taught you, and using life’s lessons as a basic map and guide to life’s most complex situations. — Brittany Vasquez is a senior in anthropology.

Coach K wins No. 903, passes Knight The Associated Press NEW YORK — Mike Krzyzewski will keep adding to his record victory total. There is no doubt about that. How long he stays on the Duke bench and how far he goes past No. 903 is anyone’s guess. “I just play every game the same and they just kept adding up,” Krzyzewski said after the sixth-ranked Blue Devils’ 74-69 victory over Michigan State on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic. That win broke a tie with Bob Knight, his college coach and professional mentor, for the most in Division I. “I think it will mean a lot more when it’s all over and I don’t know when that will be. I want to win a championship with each team I coach.” There were quite a few of Krzyzewski’s former players at Madison Square Garden to see him break the record. “I can’t say I’m surprised because I saw firsthand the level of preparation, the level of passion he put into his program every single day,” said Shane Battier, who won an NCAA championship with Krzyzewski. “I know if you gave him enough opportunity he’d give Bobby Knight a run for his money. It’s just amazing to be here on this night to see the culmination of this work.” Like many others, Battier doesn’t think the 64-year-old Krzyzewski will be done adding to the win total for several years. “He’s ageless. He looks great. He looks the same as when I was a freshman,” Battier said. “There’s no reason to think he won’t be around for many years to come.” With Knight sitting across the court at the ESPN broadcast table, Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in front of a sellout crowd of 19,979 at Madison Square Garden. Duke is 26-15 all-time, including a 21-7 mark under Krzyzewski, at Madison Square Garden and the Blue Devils have won 12 of their last 14 there. “Setting the record at Madison Square Garden was truly special,” Krzyzewski said. “To me this is hallowed ground and it just worked out.” Krzyzewski went right across the court to hug Knight when the game ended. Krzyzewski, tears in his eyes, broke away, and Knight pulled him back, hands on his shoulders, then there was one final slap of the shoulder. “I just told Coach I love him,” Krzyzewski said. “I wouldn’t be in this position without him. It’s a moment shared. I know he’s very proud, and I’m very proud to have been somebody who’s worked under him and studied him
and tried to be like him. “I’m not sure how many people tell him they love him but I love him for what he’s done for me and I thanked him. He said ‘Boy, you’ve done pretty good for a kid who couldn’t shoot.’ I think that means he loves me, too. At least that’s how I’m taking that.” Junior guard Andre Dawkins had 26 points for Duke (3-0), which took control with a 20-1 run that gave the Blue Devils a 61-41 lead with 9:17 to play. Then it was just a matter of counting down the minutes—except for a late run by Michigan State that made it a five-point game in the final minute—until the celebration could get under way. “It means a lot. There’s only going to be 13 guys that can say they played on the team that got the 903rd win. I mean, to be one of those 13 guys is an amazing feeling,” Dawkins said. “To be honest, I’m not sure that I’ve really got a grasp of that yet. I’m sure down the road, looking back, when I look back on my career I can say, `Wow, that’s pretty amazing.”’ Dawkins, who had six 3-pointers, and Ryan Kelly hits 3s to start Duke’s big run. As Michigan State (0-2) kept missing shots down low, Seth Curry hit another 3 for Duke and then the Blue Devils closed the run by making 6 of 6 attempts at the free throw line. The Spartans kept Krzyzewski coaching to the final minute. They finally started hitting shots and forcing turnovers to close to 74-69 with 12.9 seconds left. Curry had 20 points while Kelly added 14 for the Blue Devils, who were 10 of 21 from 3point range. Duke led 34-33 at the end of a sloppy first half. “It’s a special moment,” Krzyzewski said of his family and former players being there. “At halftime I wasn’t sure we were going to have this moment. We beat a really good team, and I’m glad now we can just move on and just develop our team.” Keith Appling had 22 points for Michigan State, and Brandon Wood added 15. The Spartans finished with 21 turnovers. “I was in a no-win situation,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “I was either going to be the guy who threw the ball to Henry Aaron for the record breaker or the guy who shot Bambi.” Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in his 37th season, all but five at Duke. He also coached at West Point, his alma mater where Knight molded a point guard into a coach for the ages. Matthew DeMaria • The Daily Beacon Knight won his 902 games in 42 seasons, six Vicki Baugh goes up for a rebound amidst a sea of Carson-Newman defenders durat Army, 29 at Indiana and seven at Texas Tech. Krzyzewski has four national champi- ing a game on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
