Ink provides individuality in a digital age Presley Smith Opinions Editor In 2015, The Harris Poll surveyed more than 2,000 U.S. adults and found 3 in 10 Americans are inked. Although tattoos have been a form of body art for centuries, their popularity and tattoo culture has steadily grown over the past 50 years. Today, it’s highly unlikely for one to walk through

campus, or anywhere, without seeing at least one person with a visible tattoo, and local artists have some theories on why. “With the increase of good artists and good shops, popularity is going to rise because more people can actually walk in and have a good experience,” Moe “Baker” Black, a tattoo artist at Purple Heart Tattoo, said. Some artists credit developments in technology for the growth of the tattoo industry, citing the increased availabil-

ity of tattoo parlors and heightened transparency of tattooing technique and hygiene. “I think there’s probably a billion things,” Jimmy Sumunni, a tattoo artist of 16 years at Purple Heart Tattoo, said. “There’s more people getting tattoos. Social media makes it easier for people to find places to get tattoos and see other tattooed people. I think it’s just more common in general now.” Scott Cooper, artist of 21 years and head of Saint Tattoo, also said he

believes the heightened exposure from social media and television has the tattoo industry at an all-time high. “A lot of it has to do with TV. The whole TV thing has made it blow up a lot starting with Miami Ink around 2002,” Cooper said. “And,(a tattoo) really is the last true way to actually express yourself as an individual in a society that really strives hard for individuality.” See TATTOOS on Page 7

President Obama advises Trump not to make deals with Russia On Thursday, Nov. 17, President Barack Obama urged President-elect Donald Trump to continue having a tough, but open, policy with Russia. President Obama stated that the president-elect should not fall into the trap of seeking short-term deals with the rival power country just because it’s the easiest thing to do. Obama said he hopes Trump would not “just cut some deals” or “do whatever is convenient at the time.” Obama instead said that Trump should take a more constructive approach by “finding areas where we can cooperate with Russia where our values and interests align.”

The announcement came as no surprise to those close to Clapper as he was nearing the end of his term. Clapper’s resignation, however, does come during a time when President-elect Donald Trump is working on building up his own presidential staff.

Forensic professionals and investigators spoke to students about the differences between “CSI” and their actual jobs on Wednesday, Nov. 16. The Center for Career Development hosted Tammy DeBow, a lieutenant for Knoxville Police Department, Dan Anselment, the head of UT’s national forensics academy and Kimberly Trotter, a forensic services technician the Knox County Sheriff’s Office. They made up a panel in a question and answer discussion hosted by Mary Beth Browder, a consultant at UT’s career services. They addressed how students can start looking for jobs and develop their career, the different roles within forensics, the application requirements and misconceptions that come with working in law enforcement. “You have to do something to set yourself apart,” Anselment said to students wanting to get started in forensics and law enforcement. “You can’t jump right into homicide investigator. You can go the lab route or the front-line field route, I started in local jurisdiction.” Once a person decides that he or she wants to go into law enforcement, they

should begin the application process immediately. “It does not go quickly. After the written exam is physical testing. We have an obstacle course that you have to pass to show your physical agility. If you pass it, then you have psychological testing, then backgrounds and then you have to take a polygraph. We have several people not pass the polygraph,” DeBow said. Knox County does have applicants undergo a polygraph test, but the county does check applicants’ credit scores. The county also offers an explorer program, which allows interns to learn how to work with fingerprints and other forensic work. There is no internship program for UT’s forensic program, but one is being developed.

To end the discussion, the three speakers explained that actual law enforcement is nothing like what is shown on television. Debow explained most officers do not want to ever pull out their weapon. “I realized that there is so much reviewing of psychology, past and present, that goes into entering the law enforcement. It also gave me more respect for anyone in law enforcement,” Virginia Conners, a freshman exploratory student, said. “I knew that real life law enforcement was different from television shows such as ‘Criminal Minds’ and ‘CSI,’ but after listening to these three specialists speak, I now see that not only are they so much different, but the real life law enforcement is much more difficult and lengthy.”

Community roundtable brings Knoxville leaders to resident’s level Alexander Holcomb Contributor Speakers were brought down to the audience’s level in a community round table discussion on Tuesday, Nov. 15. More than 50 residents and four city leaders gathered together at The International for discussion on injustice and the relationship between citizens and government. The discussion was organized by EyeSheWe and M.Y.A. David Rousch, the Knoxville chief of police, Rick Staples, the state representative for the 15th district, Clarence Vaughn III, the executive director of the Police Advisory and Review Committee (PARC) and Leeland Price, the Knox County deputy district attorney general, were all in attendance. The event offered attendees an actual round table where citizens talked to the government officials personally in small groups. City leaders sat with each group for 20 minutes before rotating to the next table. The personal communication for the event was done intentionally to connect members of the community with their government. “Panels aren’t really effective, quite frankly. What happens a lot times in panels is you have

people screaming and hollering and ... nothing gets accomplished,” Rousch said. “So, that’s what we’re attempting tonight – is to work on these relationship goals, so that we can build trust. And when you build trust then we all start to get along a lot better, a lot easier.” Meg Lambert, one of the organizers of the event and founder of EyeSheWe, created the event to tackle community issues in a creative way. “We’re kind of tired of marching. We’re kind of tired of having panel discussions that don’t make a difference ... after about a month of brainstorming, we came up with this event,” Lambert said. “So, it’s a revamp on a panel discussion. We have the round tables, and we’ve just taken those speakers down on the same level with the community.” Abraham Dudley, who was shot by a KPD officer in 2012, said that despite his past, he still believes discussion is important. “In 2012, I fell a victim to a life changing incident where, in the blink of an eye, my life could have been over at the hands of a KPD officer,” Dudley said. “I am standing here today to not only share this story with you all. I am up here to say that, if I go through this situation and still have an open enough mind to listen to what our civic leaders have to say, that should speak volumes and hopefully reso-

Rousch explained that it is because the open records law would allow for anyone to look at an officer’s recording even if it were in someone’s house. Rousch said he feels it is an invasion of privacy. “If you have a disagreement with your wife,” Rousch said. “You raised your voice and the neighbors called on it. And I come in and I have to deal with this, do you want everybody in the state of Tennessee to have

access to that?” Price, the Knox County deputy district attorney general, said to the audience that although Knoxville may have its issues, he thinks the community is still above the rest. “I’m not a native Knoxvillian,” Price said. “I came here in 1997, but I grew up in Nashville. I’ve lived in Boston for three years. I’ve also lived in Birmingham for about a year. So, I’ve lived in different communities, and I’m convinced of all the places I’ve been and lived, this is a great community to live and work.”

Honey Bee Bakery provides variety of baked confections Sarah Wilson

Contributor Just a 10-minute drive down Kingston Pike from campus and a quick right turn onto Forest Park Boulevard, you will find the bright purple and green store front that reads “Honey Bee Bakery.” After opening about six months ago, Honey Bee Bakery has quickly become a favorite local shop for its variety of breads and pastries. Situated in between the health grocery store Earth Fare and the high-intensity interval workout studio Orange Theory, the bakery has easily become a convenient neighborhood stop for delicious sweet treats and savory snacks. “It’s so good. I would stop there every day if I could,” Abby Mansfield, long time Knoxville resident and freshman in marketing at UT, said. When the door of Honey Bee is opened, a high-pitched bell alerts the staff of your arrival, but the sound of smooth jazz inside the bakery quickly follows. The interior of the shop is simple and cute, featuring purple and light green walls that serve as a backdrop to a few

tables and cushioned chairs. The pastries, cakes and breads sit behind three glass cooling shelves, ensuring that they will remain fresh until boxed to take home or served on a plate to enjoy in-store. The bakery itself remains hidden in the back of the store. On the Honey Bee Bakery Facebook page, their “about” section states that they “strive to make simple elegant pastries and hearty breads that will bring a smile to your face.” “Subtle flavors combined with the freshest local and organic ingredients ensures that our baked goods taste even better than they look,” the page reads. Their customers seem to agree. Lilly McCampbell said the macaroons were the best she has had in Knoxville. “I spent a few weeks in France with my family last summer, and I became obsessed with macaroons,” McCampbell said. “The one shere make me feel like I’m back.” The bakery offers a European selection of goods, most notably their baklava and assortment of macaroons. Their cakes, which manager Robert Pghosyan said are “everyday bestsellers - especially the coconut and strawberry,” aim for a light and fluffy consistency and are topped with equally smooth icings. The bakery also offers hot foods, such as jalapeno, tomato and cheese pastry rolls or lamb flatbreads. Pghosyan thinks the convenient location of Honey Bee Bakery also holds potential to make this new business stand out. It is situated in between areas of suburban and midtown residents, attracting customers from both areas of the city. “Business is good,” Pghosyan said. “Everyday is a new day and new customers” As far as pricing goes, most items are just around $2. Honey Bee Bakery is open from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Monday–Saturday and from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. on Sunday. For more information visit their Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/HoneyBeeBakery.2016/.

Knoxville musicians find unique resource in ‘DIY venue’ Mary Beth McCauley Staff Writer The Knoxville music scene has grown exponentially this year. New music venues have been popping up all around town, giving local talent more opportunities to step into the spotlight and showcase their art. Among the new venues in Knoxville is the Purple Polilla, a small warehouse located off of North Broadway Street that opens its stage to up-and-coming bands. With brick walls completely painted purple, this spot has lived up to its name. Christine Kovacsics and her business partner, Nelson, opened the venue about five months ago with the intention of giving local bands a positive, non-judgmental space to perform. “Some of our shows feature newly formed or younger bands that are having a hard time booking with other venues, and some feature the best local artists along with bands from all over the country but without a cliquey or judgmental atmosphere,” Kovacsics said. “We’ve noticed that the fans seem really comfortable at the space and go all out during the sets, and a lot of bands have had their first experience of a whole audience moving or crowd surfing to their music here.” Manhattan3, Mayfest , Suzy Homemaker and Moccasin Cowboy are

a few of the Purple Polilla’s regular performers. “Though it may just look like a purple pawn shop from the outside, once you get into this place you realize that this venue truly is about supporting the bands. It’s a super friendly, non-judgmental environment,” Hayden Bright, the lead singer of Mayfest, said about the venue. “You can be yourself and listen to some dang good music while doing it. We love the Purple Polilla.” With an abundance of bigger venues like The Mill and Mine and The International, which are typically reserved for more well-known bands, local artists are in need of more locations who are willing to accommodate them. Now that the Purple Polilla is up and running, local creators now have more opportunities to showcase their talent and hard work.

Saxophone quartet provides haunting, feverish melodies Judah White Contributor On Wednesday night, Nov. 16, The Sandra G. Powell Recital Hall hosted a guest recital featuring The Assembly Quartet – a group composed of four friends and four saxophones. Jeff Hesler, Ian Jeffress, Matt Younglove and Adam Estes have played together since 2003 and their primary goal is to engage with the audiences in public schools and communities, working with people that have limited experience with chamber music. The group has been featured in exclusive events such as the Columbia Museum of Art’s French Impressionist Art/Music Collaboration. The quartet began the night with an intricate and eerie piece titled “Energy Flows Nervously In Search of Stillness.”

The song was one of the most memorable pieces of the night with its mysterious and perplexing intro. It created a medley of dissonant sounds with each saxophone colliding together in intentional disarray. This particular composition sounded like the soundtrack to a vintage horror film, like the background music to a victim being chased down city streets in a dark fog. The music slowly evolved into a frantic roar by the end, sending feverish chills into the audience. As the night’s performance continued, the musicians spoke almost as much as they played, giving the audience an in-depth and insightful introduction to each piece rather than just cutting right into the music. They painted a picture of each song and shared the inspiration behind them and how they got their specific titles. This method was very unique and effective in engaging with the audience.

During the concert, The Assembly Quartet played three new compositions that are to be featured in their upcoming album and keeping with the night’s theme, each song had in-depth concepts behind it. For example, the band wrote “Digital Goldfish” about the human attention span and how quickly the brain shifts from one thought to another and the music did a nice job of mimicking the intended concept. The piece was constantly shifting in direction and speed, leaving the listener uncomfortably on the edge of their seat. There was an abrupt segment in the middle of the song where each saxophone intentionally squeaked in horror, triggering many members of the crowd to laugh, including myself. Another stand-out piece from the performance was titled “Mic Check.” One of the band member’s personal friends composed this for them, and it

is meant to reflect the massive group of people flooding central park during the occupy protest. Each part of the song aims to mimic the “human microphone” technique that was used in the protest where individuals passed messages to one another across the crowd. To capture this telephone effect, each saxophonist passed the melody of the music back and forth to each other in a way that resembled a musical conversation. The notes quickly ricocheted across the stage like a ping-pong ball bouncing endlessly into space. The quartet used tedious syncopations and arrangements that left the ears of the listener perplexed yet captivated. The Sandra G. Powell Recital Hall will host multiple student recitals and ensemble performances throughout the remainder of November.

TATTOOS continued from Page 1

Scott Cooper

Tattoos have their origin as individual statements from as far back as Neolithic times. According to the Smithsonian Institute, the oldest piece of tattooed skin was found on the body of Ötzi the Iceman, dating to between 3370–3100 B.C. Tattoos first began as cultural symbols, later evolving into the art form that they are today. “I think as human beings we naturally have a feeling that we want to adorn ourselves, whether it’s makeup, nice clothes, fancy shoes, earrings, whatever it is,” Black said. “We all have this urge to do this to ourselves, and I think with tattooing it’s just one of those things where people were afraid of it for safety

factors and stigmas. So, now when I think the stigmas are lower, and I think that people understand that it can be done safely, I feel like it’s a lot easier. “People get tattooed for all different kinds of reasons.” With Pinterest and TV series like “Miami Ink,” however, Sumunni and Cooper both agreed that a sense of true individuality is lost. Both artists explained that the problem with Pinterest tattoos is that the customer doesn’t know how many other people out there may be sporting the same ink. “It used to be if you got a tattoo you applied your own meaning to it. It was your own tattoo–what you want it to be,” Cooper said. “In the era of the internet and Pinterest, it’s about finding things that mean a whole lot, instead of finding something that looks really good and timeless.”

VOLLEYBALL

Notebook: VolleyVols continue struggles in loss to A&M Karolynn Beasley Contributor

With the Vols determined to break a long list of unpromising sets in the past week, the beginning of Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match on Nov. 16 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show that they were ready to change their fate. As the first set took place, it was obvious that head coach Rob Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad was a bit rough around the edges with a multitude of errors. However, while the second set still contained struggles, the Vols picked their game up slightly while still losing the second set. Though the Vols tend to have a history of losing the third set, things turned around after the Vols had dropped 10 straight sets in a row over their past four matches. Minimizing errors and some intense battling helped the Volunteers pick up the effort immensely and pick up a win in the third set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we keep our errors down, we can play with anybody,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This weekend, we had too many errors. The games we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have unforced errors, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beating teams.

Following Grubbs lead, junior Kanisha Jimenez, sophomore Erica Treiber, junior Kendra Turner and senior Raina Hembry all featured necessary kills. Specifically, halfway through the third set, Hembry smashed the opponent with block after block and key kills. Toward the end of the third match, the Vols hit a lead of 24-14 with an exceptional volley, but A&M still managed to gain ground, attempting to close the large gap. Winning the third set on the next play, the Volunteers put themselves back in the running for the game. Close, but Not Close Enough: While the Volunteers showed substantial promise in the third set, they could not manage to win the fourth. Hembry started the set by landing the Volunteers their first point with a kill and another kill six plays later. The gap in score was kept small, fighting a back and fourth set. Grubbs remained with excessive speed on the ball throughout the entirety of set four. With A&M leading 19-18, the Vols buckled down and tried to win the set. Moments later, the game became tied up as Turner put away another kill, taking the score to 21â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s across the board.

Vereen, Lewis prepare for final go around in Neyland Colin Castleberry Contributor There are two characteristics that Vols coach Butch Jones looks for in players. Resolve and resiliency. Throughout the week, Jones has mentioned players like Corey Vereen and LaTroy Lewis, both of whom he said brought leadership and resolve battling through injuries throughout their careers and both of whom will graduate. When asked specifically about Lewis, Jones brought up the senior’s leadership on and off the field. “When he speaks, our football team listens,” Jones said on Wednesday in the Ray and Lucy Hand Digital Studio. Lewis, a fifth-year senior from Akron, Ohio, has had a long journey to get to this game – his last game at Neyland Stadium. Recruited by the previous regime as a 3-star recruit, defensive end, Lewis spent his first year as a redshirt and then played in only six games as a RS freshman, recording only four tackles. Over the next two seasons, he would

play in all 26 games but only start six of those. Now in his redshirt senior season, he has seen his resolve tested. Fellow fifth-year senior Charles Folger said on Wednesday that Lewis and he had been through the ringer together. But not before saying all fifth-year guys remember the “Dooley year” that they were here and giving a great “Where’s Rommel?” impersonation in reference to Dooley’s connection between his 2010 team and German soldiers. “Guys like (Lewis) mean the world to me,” Folger said. “Guys that will stick around and still be your best friend even though we have gone through so freaking much.” Lewis kicked off this season with a career-high in tackles against App State, only to get injured the next week against Virginia Tech. He next returned against Georgia in Athens where he watched his offense pull off the impossible – a last-second Hail Mary that won the game for the Vols. That, Lewis said, is a moment he’ll remember for a long time. “It was one of the craziest moments of

Corey Vereen, #50, takes down a member of the Appalachian State offense on Sept. 1, 2016. Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon my life,” Lewis said. Last week against the Wildcats, Lewis moved into the interior of the defensive line. He would record seven total tackles, tying his career high from earlier in the year and had 1.5 tackles for a loss with a fumble recovery and a sack. “It was a lot different where I didn’t have a lot of space on the edge,” Lewis said. “As a defensive end, most times, it’s almost like a linebacker where I always have at least one shoulder free … Things happened a lot faster.” Defensive tackle Corey Vereen said on Wednesday that Lewis’ switch to the inside wasn’t an easy one. “That’s a true testament of perseverance,” Vereen said. “A self-made guy who comes to work every day and just went in there. We didn’t even have to ask him.” Meanwhile, fellow senior Vereen has taken a very different path to his final game at Neyland Stadium. Vereen, a true senior from Florida, was a 3-star linebacker recruit and a part of what he called the “first bricks” references Coach Jones’ “brick-by-brick” mentality. Upon arrival, Vereen was asked to play immediately playing in nine of 13 games his freshman year, all of which however were at defensive end and not linebacker. Over the next three years, Vereen would become a staple in the one-two punch of he and Derek Barnett. But Vereen said his greatest memory

came this year when the Vols snapped an 11-game losing streak to Florida. Through it all, Vereen said that he’s just happy for the time he’s spent here at Tennessee. “It was everything I hoped for when I was getting recruited,” he said. “A real gift from God. I’m thankful for it.” Both Vereen and Lewis were asked what it would be like this week as they play their last game in Neyland, running through the “T” one last time and possibly competing for an SEC title. Both said it would be an “emotional experience” but that they were concentrating on the game and would reflect back on everything when it was all over. “Ain’t nothing gonna happen if we don’t beat Missouri,” Vereen said. The outcome of the Florida-LSU game, which kicks off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, depends on whether or not the Vols win the SEC East – the Vols have to win out and Florida has to lose to LSU – Tennessee’s road to Atlanta doesn’t begin unless they beat the Tigers this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on CBS. Win or lose on Saturday, Jones said that he knows all seniors – Josh Dobbs, Cam Sutton and Jalen Reeves-Maybin included – have given their all for Tennessee. “They’ve (all) made a lasting impact on Tennessee football,” Jones said on Wednesday.

Tennessee sports sets record for highest graduation success rate Staff Report

The University of Tennessee Department of Athletics announced the highest graduation success rate in UT athletics history on Tuesday, Nov. 15, with 83 percent of athletes who enrolled in the university from 2006-07 through 2009-10 graduating. The current GSR is three percent higher than the previous rate. Athletes enrolled from 2005-06 through 2008-09 garnered an 80 percent graduation success rate. Men’s tennis, women’s tennis, rowing, women’s golf, volleyball and men’s swimming and diving all earned a multi-year GSR of 100, and all six tied for first place in the conference with the 100 mark. Thirteen of Tennessee’s sixteen athletic programs either equaled or increased their previous GSR. The men’s teams were baseball (65–68 percent), men’s swimming (83–100 percent), men’s tennis (stayed at 100 percent) and men’s golf (88–89 percent). The women’s teams included women’s basketball (90–92 percent), women’s soccer (89–

94 percent), women’s track (89–90 percent), women’s golf (stayed at 100 percent), women’s swimming (stayed at 95 percent) and women’s tennis (88–100 percent). Other teams that increased or stayed the same were volleyball (stayed at 100 percent), softball (80–81 percent) and rowing (stayed at 100 percent). Nine programs either set or matched their highest multi-year GSR, including baseball, men’s golf, men’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, rowing, women’s golf, women’s swimming and diving, women’s tennis and volleyball. Scholarship transfers can be added to a class’s GSR by a university, and athletes that leave the school and are academically eligible according to NCAA Progress-Toward-Degree Requirements can be removed. The University of Tennessee has stressed their goal of ensuring the academic and graduation success of student athletes. In 2001, the university opened the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center in order to provide student-athletes with academic support programs and career and personal development assistance.

A conversation with Missouri’s beat writer Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor The Daily Beacon’s sports editor Trenton Duffer talked with Nick Kelly, the Missouri Tiger’s football beat writer at The Maneater, Missouri’s student newspaper.

quite yet. Some fans want Odom gone, but that isn’t going to happen. He has a small amount of head coaching experience under his belt, and he admits he is still figuring this job out. The players love Odom. This season was not the way Odom wanted to start, obviously. But a rebuilding year is certainly not a surprise after last season’s 5-7 campaign.

Trenton Duffer: It’s been a rough season for Missouri with Barry Odom taking over for Gary Pinkel. What’s the verdict on Barry Odom’s first season?

TD: Drew Locke is one of the best players on Missouri’s team. What makes him so talented and what can he do to beat the Vols?

Nick Kelly: Not many expected Odom’s

NK: He is exactly what you are looking

Tigers to dominate in his first season. Many, including myself, thought a bowl was realistic if things went right for Missouri. The loss to Middle Tennessee was alarming, and at that point, it became clear this team was not there

for in a quarterback prospect. He is a decentsized guy, he has a strong arm and he is a leader. Now, he has shown his age at times, but as far as potential, Drew Lock has tons of it. Tennessee has to stop the deep ball. If it doesn’t, Drew Lock can take advantage. Also,

he is a sneaky runner and can take off when the play falls apart.

TD: Josh Dobbs is a dual threat QB that has had some pretty good success against Mizzou in the past. What do the Tigers have to do to stop him? NK: It is a simple formula; maintain gap integrity. It is sometimes easier said than done, but to keep Dobbs from running, the Tigers need to play strong up front and maintain gap integrity. Also, they need to continue to rush the passer the way they have recently. Charles Harris has 4.5 sacks through the past two games. TD: What will provide more of a challenge

to Missouri on Saturday -- Josh Dobbs and the offense or Derek Barnett and the defense?

NK: Both will pose threats to the Tigers, but I think the defense. When Missouri has faced strong defenses, it has crumbled on offense. And with how quick they run their offense, if the Vols stop it, Missouri’s defense will be on the field a lot. If Mizzou’s defense is on the field a lot, it becomes a chain reaction to the Tiger’s demise because they will give up a lot of points while the offense has quick three and out drives. So, if the Vols defense has a good day, it will lead to a Tennessee victory. TD: What are your final predictions for this game? NK: I predict the Volunteers win 33-13. The Vols need this win, and even though the Tigers will try to play spoiler, they are too decimated by injuries. This is not a good year for the Tigers, and Tennessee will take advantage.

“Some fans want Odom gone, but that isn’t going to happen. He has a small amount of head coaching experience under his belt, and he admits he is still figuring this job out. The players love Odom. This season was not the way Odom wanted to start, obviously. But a rebuilding year is certainly not a surprise after last season’s 5-7 campaign.” -Nick Kelly, beat writer at The Maneater
