Dooley tenure finished at Tennessee Hart cites record as reason to make change Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor After weeks of swirling rumors about the future of Derek Dooley, athletic director Dave Hart announced Sunday afternoon that Dooley would no longer be the head coach of the UT football program.

“I told Derek that we were going to move in a different direction with new leadership for our football program, and he handled it as you would expect,” said Hart. “He handled it in a very mature manner, very respectful and appreciative manner in terms of being the head football coach at the University of Tennessee for the past three years.”

Talk about Dooley’s job security began to grow louder following a winless month in October, with close losses to Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi State, as well as a blow out loss to then-No. 1 Alabama.

Though they failed to win a game in October, Hart was complimentary of the team’s ability to stick together through the rough time.

“As I told our football team and our staff … this team was close to having a very good season. I admire the fact that they never came unglued so to speak, they never pointed fingers, they never said ‘this is your fault, not my fault.’ They showed a lot of maturity through a very, very disappointing football season in terms of the excruciating losses in October, the close games. I let them know that I really do admire that.”

Hart was appreciative of Dooley and what he brought to Tennessee during his time at the university, too.

“I’ll tell you, while the results, which are very, very important, were not what he wanted, not what the team wanted and not what our fan base wanted, there is no question that Derek Dooley improved this football pro-

Derek Dooley was 15-21 and 4-19 in the SEC during his time at Tennessee.

gram,” said Hart. “There is no question about that. He inherited a very, very difficult environment, one that I am now familiar with having been here these 13 months.”

Hart later acknowledged that when it came down to making a decision, the results weren’t what the program needed.

“Derek knows this, as did I, this is a resultsbased profession. You cannot ignore the results at the end of the day,” Hart said.

Under Dooley, the Volunteers were 15-21 overall and 4-19 in SEC play. Possibly the most telling statistic, however, is the Vols’ record against ranked opponents under Dooley, a dismal 0-15.

In a statement released by the UT Athletic Department, Dooley expressed his gratitude to the university and the city of Knoxville.

“I am sorry we could not generate enough wins to create hope for a brighter future,” said Dooley. “Although progress was not reflected in our record, I am proud of the strides we made to strengthen the foundation for future success in all areas of the program.

“During the last 34 months, I’ve given my all for Tennessee, and our family appreciates all this university and the Knoxville community has given us.”

Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney will be the interim head coach for the Kentucky game this upcoming Saturday.

“I believe Jim is respected by his peers and knows what needs to be done in order to prepare the team to play on Saturday,” Hart said.

Hart and the university will now begin the search for a new head football coach.

“We will now move forward in a search process with a goal of securing the best coach we possibly can to come and lead the football program at the University of Tennessee.

“If you’re a competitor and you want to prove your worth, come to the SEC … come to Tennessee.”

Full pharmacy open at Student Health Center David Cobb Assistant News Editor Peyton Roberts is the manager at UT’s new on-campus pharmacy located within the Student Health Center at Volunteer Boulevard and Pat Head Summitt Street.

He did not frame the first prescription he filled Friday, which was the venture’s first day of operation, but he is excited about the new addition to UT’s health center.

“I just want the students to use it, to know it’s here,” Roberts said. “We’re here to serve them. That’s the purpose of the pharmacy. If there’s something that we don’t have, we’ll make every effort and attempt to get it within a good time frame. … But the biggest thing is that right now nobody knows we’re here.”

Roberts previously worked for five years in Walgreen’s pharmacy on Cumberland Avenue, which until Friday was the closest location to campus for students to have prescriptions filled.

His time working at a pharmacy heavily trafficked by UT students is something he feels will be an asset to the operation on UT’s campus when it comes to knowledge of commonly needed medications.

But location and selection are not the only things the new pharmacy will have to offer.

“Price-wise it’s going to be very competitive,” Roberts said. “As far as insurances go, we’re going to be able to bill all of your insurances, just as any other pharmacy would. So your co-pays aren’t going to change or anything like that. For the people that don’t have insurance, I would say our cash prices are going to be very competitive, if not better,

just because we have the ability to change our prices to meet what the demand is.”

Students who have not previously visited the Student Health Center will go through a simple registration process before having their prescriptions filled.

“Speed is another asset that we have,” Roberts said. “We fill the prescription right then. We don’t put it in a queue and then tell you to come back in an hour or anything like that.”

Dr. Darrell L. Smith is a primary care physician at the Student Health Center. He felt that the pharmaceutical addition is a step in the right direction for campus healthcare.

Smith cited instances where patients have complained of continuing to feel ill after a visit to the health center, a scenario that he said can often be blamed on students’ neglect to fill their prescriptions for a variety of reasons, including not having a convenient place to do so.

“Well here, they really don’t have that excuse,” Smith said. “We give them that prescription and then they can just stop (by) on their way out. So I think it’ll a make a big difference actually.”

“Our medications tend to be tailored to what they (the in-house doctors) use and what they prescribe out of here,” Roberts said.

From an academic perspective, Roberts also said he is hopeful that one day the facility can become a grounds for pharmacy students to garner retail experience.

The Student Health Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except for Wednesdays when it opens at 9 a.m.

CAMPUS NEWS Student Health Center offers STD, pregnancy tests Jessica Vinge Staff Writer According to SADD.org, approximately 19 million new STD infections are diagnosed each year and almost half of them are between the ages of 15 and 24.

Along with STDs, unplanned pregnancy is another thing to worry about when becoming sexually active. According to a Virginia study, 24 percent of college women will become pregnant at some point during their college careers.

Staying safe is a very important thing to consider when becoming sexually active. The Student Health Center located on campus on Volunteer Boulevard offers many services specifically for women seeking any healthcare service through the Women’s Health Clinic (WHC).

The services WHC offers include annual female examinations, pap smears, pregnancy tests, birth control, and STD screenings and treatments. Each test comes with a reasonable fee.

Rosa Thomas, the wellness coordinator of the Safety, Environment, and Education Center (S.E.E. Center), explained the different services the WHC offer to women.

“Women can get a screening done for any sexual transmitted disease at the clinic.

They can also get pretty much any type of birth control in the Women’s Health Center,” Thomas said. “A gynecologist also comes to the clinic once a week for the women who may have any complications.”

Learning what to do and where to go is only one responsibility when young adults become sexually active.

The more important part, however, is learning how to prevent unplanned pregnancies or diseases.

Thomas advised men and women to make sure that having sex is the best thing for them and the relationship they may be in.

“I always tell young people to spend time with the other person to create a trusting commitment with one another,” Thomas said. “You should always ask yourself if you’re completely sure it’s the right thing to do, and if you feel even a little uncomfortable with it, then don’t do it.”

Martin Leamon, junior in accounting, explains what men can do to stay safe for themselves as well.

“Girls aren’t the only ones that can take precautions when it comes to sex,” Leamon said. “Guys should always have a condom and should always use it. It just doesn’t make sense not to when we are so young.”

Most health clinics offer free condoms to any patient who asks for them. There are also many events throughout the semester that give out free condoms as awareness for AIDS prevention.

Birth control is also easily accessible. It may not be free in most cases unless the patient has insurance coverage and goes to a clinic that accepts their insurance. The WHC on campus offers oral contraceptives for $30 to $50 a month.

HIV/AIDS are the most dangerous sexually transmitted diseases. Dec. 1 is National AIDS Awareness Day, but on Nov. 30 the S.E.E. Center will be holding an educational booth on the Pedestrian Walkway. There will also be a free HIV/AIDS screening taking place on the second floor of Hodges Library from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Becoming aware of what could possibly happen when young adults become sexually active is critically important.

Thomas expresses some of her concerns with young people.

“Many young students do not realize that it is possible to catch a sexually transmitted disease through oral sex,” Thomas said. “Oral sex is still sex and you can get STDs in your mouth.”

One of the most important things a young adult can do is stay educated about the consequences that could arise with becoming sexually active and taking action to avoid them.

As a wellness coordinator, Thomas tries to ensure that students realize the responsibility that comes with becoming sexually active.

“If students want to limit their chances of getting a disease, they should limit their partners, use a condom and birth control, and communicate well with their partner,” Thomas said. “STDs don’t discriminate from person to person and every student needs to know that there is always the possibility of getting one.”

JEM professor lectures on history of photography Owen Schumacher Staff Writer Although photographs permeate daily culture, many people know little about the history of photography.

At UT’s weekly Science Forum, Robert Heller, professor of journalism and electronic media, spoke to his audience about the history of photography during his lecture, “A Brief, Yet Incomplete History of Photojournalism.”

The larger than expected audience of about 50 students, faculty and members of the public squeezed into a room at Thompson-Boling Arena to listen to the 45-minute presentation.

Heller traced the evolution of photography from the first attempt to capture an image during the first century AD, to the first permanent photograph in 1826, to the portable camera in the late 1800s, and finally to the switch from film to digital photography in the 1980s.

He emphasized the importance of the world’s first still existing photograph taken by Joseph Niepce in 1826.

“It’s one of the most important documents of all time, yet most peo-

ple don’t know much about it,” he said.

Niepce’s photograph is a grainy, black and white picture of the tops of French buildings.

“We take billions of pictures (every year), and all those pictures can be traced to (this) photograph,” Heller marveled.

He lamented the ease with which we can quickly take low-quality and inartistic pictures today, but he acknowledged that these pictures can have sentimental value. He believes that to make a good picture, we must slow down and think about what we want to accomplish.

“Back in the early days, photography was very special,” he told his audience. “Only a few people could do it. … Now we can make a technically pretty good photograph that has no meaning at all to it, no artistry to it.”

When asked what camera he would recommend during the question-and-answer portion of the presentation, Heller said that taking a good photograph has more to do with being a good photographer than having an expensive camera.

He believes people wrongly assume that if they have an expensive cam-

era, they can take great pictures.

“Now, everyone has a camera in their pocket,” Heller stated. “At events, more people than not are photographing and, from my point of view, are missing out on what’s actually in front of them. The result has been many more mediocre photographs than we’ve ever had before.”

Heller earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in photojournalism from Syracuse University. He has been teaching at UT since 1986.

Kelly Wilder, freshman in animal science, agreed that most students do not know very much about photography.

“I thought it would be interesting to learn a little more about the history of photography,” Wilder said. “We see countless photographs every day, but most people don’t know much about their origins.”

The Science Forum will not be held this Friday due to Thanksgiving break. On Nov. 30, from noon to 1 p.m., in room C-D of ThompsonBoling Arena, Dr. Sue Hume, Clinical Associate Professor of Audiology & Speech Pathology, will present “Good Vibrations — Care and Use of the Professional Voice.”

Wilderness Act offers many benefits Unfortunately, most Tennesseans have probably never heard of the Tennessee Wilderness Act. Yet this bill, which is currently awaiting passage in the U.S. Senate, has enormous importance for the conservation of native species and the natural beauty here in the Southern Appalachians. Officially designated the Wilderness Act of 2011 (Bill S.1090), this legislation will protect almost 20,000 acres of some of the most pristine and undisturbed areas within the Cherokee National Forest.

It does this by expanding five existing wilderness areas: Joyce Kilmer Slickrock Wilderness, Big Frog Wilderness, Little Frog Wilderness, Big Laurel Branch, and Sampson Mountain Wilderness. It would also create the first new wilderness area in Tennessee in 25 years, the 9,038-acre Upper Bald River Wilderness. This would effectively protect the entire area of the headwaters of the Upper Bald River. Furthermore, the land in the vicinity of Joyce Kilmer contains some of the largest “oldgrowth” trees in the Southern Appalachians.

Numerous trees of this size and age cannot be found anywhere else in the region.

Many people do not realize that without this kind of wilderness protection, the habitats of native and endemic species is at risk on federal lands because many federal lands are open to logging, mining, and many other human activities that have a lasting impact on the land.

Considering the rapid disappearance of natural habitat of many native species in the Southern Appalachians, this kind of protection is increasingly important for hundreds of plant and animal species including bobcat, black bear, deer, grey fox, numerous migratory bird species, and brook trout. In addition, protecting this land will greatly improve its value for cleaner water (watershed uses) and recreation. Small wonder,

then, that the bill is widely supported by sportsmen, hikers, and many citizens across a wide spectrum.

Given all these benefits, you might ask, what is the cost to the taxpayer? That’s the best part: it effectively costs nothing! No roads will be closed, and no taxes will be lost by the local communities.

This bill involves no new land acquisition, but is merely a redistricting (or re-designation) of existing federal land to protect more of that land that is already set aside. This bill evolved from recommendations for managing the Cherokee National Forest that were made by the U.S. Forest Service itself a few years ago. All of the lands affected are under public ownership and managed by the Forest Service.

We owe our gratitude to Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander, who originally sponsored this bill, and the other Tennessee Senator, Bob Corker, who also supports the bill.

Unfortunately, this bill, like so many others, is now languishing in the Senate. Please contact these Senators and ask them to renew their efforts to get the Wilderness Act passed. In my opinion, this legislation would easily pass with bipartisan support if given a chance. It is ultimately up to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who controls whether or not this bill will come to a vote. Let us hope that he will see the wisdom of making this happen. Congress has often been called a “do-nothing” body. Passage of bills such as this one, with many benefits and virtually no costs, is just what the Senate needs to do in order to remove that pejorative label.

Foreign language critical to success G o and Go by

Julia Ross I believe today’s students have a responsibility to engage fully with the opportunities and resources available on campus. Likewise, university faculty and administration have a duty to students to ensure that these opportunities and resources are accessible, efficiently managed, and of premium quality. For today’s undergraduates, the mandate to be proactive and diligent in education management is reinforced by constant reminders of an increasingly competitive and global economy. Indeed, foreign language education is one of the most important opportunities available to students today.

However, I understand from conversations with faculty, stories from my peers and my own experiences that the time and energy students generally devote to language studies at UT leave much to be desired. I write today in hopes of inspiring each of you, my peers and colleagues, to renew interest in your studies in this critical field. Though many students register for a foreign language simply to satisfy a general education requirement, there are far more significant reasons for language study. In fact, the following reasons are why foreign language study is a general education requirement in the first place.

A renowned Italian film director, Federico Fellini, offered the best reason for foreign language most concisely when he said, “A different language is a different vision of life.”

Truly understanding a language is challenging because it requires students to do more than simply memorize rules and vocabulary. Foreign language students are called to abandon the idea that the singular perspective offered by their home culture has the capacity to offer a comprehensive understanding of modern society.

Through their studies, students can go beyond superficial stereotypes and generalizations about another culture and develop cultural

understanding with real depth and significance.

Even beyond these rather abstract romantic objectives, the rewards of foreign language study are numerous. Bilingual individuals enjoy employment opportunities and starting salaries that are significantly above average in nearly every field. When a second language is listed on a resume, potential employers view it as evidence that the applicant has critical thinking skills, an appreciation for diversity, and a welldeveloped work ethic. Our nation needs individuals with broad cultural understanding to manage international businesses, participate in policy-making, and be public servants, doctors, teachers and leaders in increasingly diverse communities.

Personally, I have chosen to study Italian. It was a natural transition from studying Latin in high school, and I get excited about the language itself. Little did I know, however, that Italian would be so useful. As I have improved my Italian language skills, I have learned more about how to correctly use the English language. The Italian department truly goes above and beyond to help students understand Italian culture by hosting movie nights, dinner parties, and immersion weekends. Nearly 10,000 U.S. businesses have offices in Italy, and it is quickly becoming a hot spot for more than simply historic, archeological and literary research.

There will never be a time when the world will become less globalized. Likewise, there will likely never be another time when you are required to study a subject that is as valuable as a foreign language. Even if your memory of verb conjugation fades rapidly, your understanding of cultures and traditions other than your own will continue to serve you in the future. For the next few weeks, I encourage each of you to reevaluate your motives for studying a language, your reasons for not studying a language, and your options for incorporating foreign language study into both your course plans and your daily life.

Learning how to be thankful for what you have can be rather difficult sometimes, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive for it every day. I’m talking about thankfulness that transcends religion, gratification, and most definitely the idea that you can expect good things to come your way by happenstance.

How often are you really, genuinely thankful for your opportunities?

This week, take a moment to step back and evaluate your life. Stop focusing so much on the negatives and remind yourself of the positives. How are your grades? It’s pretty cool that you have them. A lot of people our age around the world have never and will never get the opportunity to attend college.

Our access to education in the United States is often abused and overlooked. We are expected to attend and complete grade school. College is a requirement if you want to get into higher level positions in many careers. Be thankful that, by whatever method you had to go through, you managed to get into college and have the experiences you have had here. In a single day, you can come into contact with people from other religions, races, and backgrounds. Our faculty is intelligent and capable. Our libraries are filled with many resources. We have opportunities here.

Many times, we forget to be thankful because we forget to look at our failings as opportunities to better ourselves. Maybe you didn’t get the job you wanted or you didn’t

get into the class you needed for next semester. Maybe time doesn’t seem to be on your side and you are suddenly looking at a later graduation than you had originally intended. Find the brighter sides of the big picture and embrace them. What else is there to do? Instead of spending time moping, take failure as a chance to go in a direction you hadn’t previously thought about. Look for a different type of career. Reach out to different friends who know people you haven’t contacted yet.

Be thankful for your opportunity to make the best of a bad situation. Losing a job in other places could mean losing your entire livelihood. In some places, not meeting expectations means certain death. While it might feel the same here sometimes, I can promise you that you probably have no idea what that kind of lifestyle is like.

If you are lucky enough to travel home and see your family for this upcoming holiday, be thankful for that, too. You can visit relatives and people you haven’t seen since the last time you were home. Spend time with them, talk to them, share your stories from college (the family appropriate ones), and most importantly, hear their stories. Eventually, they will be gone and you won’t be lucky enough to have them again. Be thankful you get this chance and make the best of it. If you don’t go home, find a way to still be thankful.

If you can’t leave Knoxville, donate your time to some people who could really use a reason to be thankful. Find a way to volunteer in the community and make someone else’s holiday better than they had expected. You never know how your day can be improved by helping those in need.

Underground music more intimate than mainstream scene

Beatles tribute thrills crowd

Ate Itself ’ or ‘The Lonesome Crowded West,’ since none of their songs were taken from those albums and thrown on the radio to play every ten minutes until your ears bled,� Drew LaFasto, freshman in communications, said. “Instead, over a period of time, their audience grew and developed.�

In past decades, underground groups faced a larger challenge than their mainstream counterparts.

Without the funds from commercializing, music groups largely relied on word of mouth for circulation. As a result, music was more localized. But in the age of the Internet, the game has changed.

Eva Perkins Staff Writer For some students, music doesn’t come from mainstream channels.

Underground music is a significant portion of today’s music scene that spans many genres and is hallmarked by its refusal to enter the mainstream.

Mainstream music, backed by significant commercial organizations, occupies larger media realms such as MTV and VH1. But for decades, bands have chosen to remain independent, even if it means their rise in fame will be much more modest. “Modest Mouse, no one knew them when they released ‘The Fruit That

Melodi Erdogan Staff Writer As the last event of the semester, the Cultural Attractions Committee sponsored The WannaBeatles performance at the Bijou Theatre on Nov. 15. Performing songs from the Beatles catalog, The WannaBeatles had a set that covered all of their works, with songs like “From Me to You� to “Magical Mystery Tour.�

The WannaBeatles, who are originally from Nashville, were nominated for a Grammy in the “Best Spoken Word Album� category for their “Fab Fan Memories� album.

The committee, led by chair Elaina Spiekermann, senior in logistics, strayed away from their usual world performers and chose The WannaBeatles for their last event of the semester. “It’s not our typical show because it’s something everyone likes, usually we strive for something that doesn’t typically come to Knoxville and isn’t something the Knoxville community typically goes for,� Spiekermann said. “But the way we looked at it was the Beatles’ music influenced probably 80 percent of the music we listen to today, so it’s very applicable.�

Dennis Scott, who is a Grammy and Emmy award-winning composer and producer, played the guitar, synth and leads on vocals for The WannaBeatles. Scott, in his best John Lennon impression, said it was a “bloody good show.� “My favorite part of performing is when I get lost in the music and get the feeling of what it must have been like to be a Beatle,� Scott said. “And when we have an audience like we had tonight, with the crowd so enthusiastic and girls screaming, I say gosh, this must have been what it was really like for them.�

Jake Samsel, freshman in biomedical engineering, said he enjoyed himself at the show. “I sang along to every song, and that may have been a little too much but that’s okay,� Samsel said. “I thought it was a really cool thing that the band got the audience really involved in the performance by getting people up and moving.�

The WannaBeatles performed a few songs with a string quartet, comprised of UT music students. “With only four members, it is hard to truly recreate the sound that The Beatles and their producer, George Martin, had on record while on stage. One member would be playing the drums with his right hand while playing the keyboard with his left,� Scott said. “To come here and actually get to work with real-life string players just enhances the whole experience,� Scott said. “We had never worked with them before and during the run-through in the afternoon, we were blown away and we knew that they were going to make the show even more special.�

The string quartet included three violins and one cello and were called on stage during songs like “Eleanor Rigby� and “All You Need Is Love.�

Gideon Klein, sophomore in cello performance and part of the quartet, said he actually felt like he was performing with The Beatles. “I’ve played in different bands before and I’ve done different things before but this was just a whole different experience,�

Klein said.

Klein, who appreciated how the Beatles’ personalities showed up during the show through the performers, said that the concert was much different than simply hearing a Beatles song. “It was super positive and a lot of fun,� Klein said. “It was four guys who wanted to have a lot of fun and make sure that everybody left in a great mood.�

UNDERGROUND continued from Page 5 “Nowadays, music is everywhere on the Internet and much more easily accessible,” LaFasto said. “Right now, online music radio is the best, because you can discover music similar to your favorite artists.”

Once a person delves into underground music, a whole new world is opened, and that world is more available than it was in the past.

With the increasing avail-

ability of music, some might argue that underground music is going mainstream.

The story is becoming increasingly common: artists begin on their own, perhaps through YouTube videos, and then hit it big within a small population.

These artists are then given the opportunity to trade in their independence for a flashy backer and seemingly limitless exposure.

Yet, despite the strike of success it means for their favorite bands, fans of these

previously independent groups are often disappointed at their plunge into the mainstream music industry.

“I would be excited to hear their music more like on the radio or stores or TV,” Nicole Glenn, freshman in chemical and biomolecular engineering, said. “But I would be a little sad, too. They wouldn’t just be mine anymore. It makes it less special, less intimate even, when it goes from you and your favorite group to everyone and their mother.”

Thanksgiving music for ignored holiday based parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” also makes this list. “Eat it” replaces “Beat it” in the chorus and encourages eating without Thanksgiving is approaching, yet discretion. He sings that he doesn’t care if Christmas music already fills radios and you’re full, and to “Have some more yogurt, have some more Spam/It doesn’t matter if it’s department stores.

Christmas usually overshadows fresh or canned/Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat Thanksgiving, especially when it comes to it.” With yogurt and spam, who needs turkey music. There are plenty of religious songs and dressing?

“All You Can Eat” by The Fat Boys continabout being thankful and children’s simplistic history recounts, but not many songs illus- ues the theme of overindulgence. The song is trate the importance of the Thanksgiving about three guys who eat an entire all-youfeast. This playlist focuses on food, can-eat buffet. The Fat Boys aren’t picky Thanksgiving related and not. Maybe it’ll eaters, much like many Thanksgiving feasthelp lighten the mood as the holiday weight ers. They rap in true 1985 fashion about all the food they’ll eat, like “bologna, salami, creeps in.

One of the most recognized food-inspired and ham/Toast with butter and strawberry Thanksgiving songs is “The Thanksgiving jam.”

The Descendents’ song, “I Like Food,” is Song” by Adam Sandler. Featured on a 1992 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” this comi- a simplistic ode to food. This 16 second punk cal song revolves around the repetition of the rock song from 1981 consists of yelling “I like word “turkey” and various celebrity and pop food, food tastes good!” and the names of culture references. “Turkey and sweet potato various foods such as “Juicy burgers, greasy pie/Sammy Davis Jr. only had one eye” is a fries/Turkey legs and raw fish eyes.”

Even if Spam, toast with butter and strawline typical of the nonsensical, hilarious pairberry jam, and raw fish eyes substitute the ings throughout the song.

“Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Eat It,” a food- traditional Thanksgiving feast, pumpkin pie is essential. “Pumpkin Pie”

by Lemon Demon demonstrates its integral existence, revolving around a merchant who won’t give up his pumpkin pie recipe for the king. The king’s men “(torture) him for night and day/they made him scream so much his hair turned gray.” As the last line of the chorus states, “He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie” in the first place. The song is sung like a catchy children’s tune and is sure to make anyone smile and appreciate that delicious pumpkin pie.

“Turkey Murder” by Jeremy Shane also shares a childlike quality.

The YouTube video includes the singer dressed up in a glittery turkey costume and • Photo courtesy of NBC two backup singers dressed as Native Americans and a pilgrim in true elementary school play fashion. The song won’t be making its way to school stages though, with lyrics like, “Poor turkey, Poor, poor turkey/So sorry, don’t mean to be a jerky/But it’s time for me to be thankful/so your neck I’m going to strangle.” Poor turkey, indeed. But the bird is so tasty.

Hopefully, department stores will be playing these musical gems over the loud speakers, and Christmasthemed music won’t start until Black Friday. Until then, stuff your face, put on some sweatpants and laugh.

WANNABEATLES continued from Page 5 Scott said that in the end the event turned out “fab.”

“We didn’t know what to expect, but we knew that the people at UT and at the Cultural Attractions Committee were working really hard to get the word out for the concert,” Scott said. “It wouldn’t have mattered though, we would have done the same show, we always do if there were only two people in the audience because we enjoy

doing it.”

Next semester’s event lineup for the Cultural Attractions Committee includes Step Afrika! on Jan. 30 and Bela Fleck on Mar. 7.

Spiekermann said that she likes putting together concerts for the club and seeing students enjoying themselves at the events.

“We love the fact that we can bring things to Knoxville and students can come for $5,” Spiekermann said. “Ending this semester with The WannaBeatles is good though, it takes everything out with a

bang. People dancing in the aisles and being excited and hopefully it will stimulate people to come to all our shows next semester too.”

Samsel, who said he appreciated how The WannaBeatles energized the theater and got everyone on their feet, compared the band to their idols.

“I haven’t ever seen another tribute band, but I like this one,” Samsel said. “I’m sure The WannaBeatles are better compared to other tribute bands, they about as close as you could get to (The Beatles).”

No bowl for Vols, Lady Vols continue winning ways home for holidays Scott Fields

Staff Writer

Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor With its back against the wall, needing wins in the final two games of the season, Tennessee (4-7, 0-7 SEC) couldn’t get the job done in Nashville, falling to in-state rival Vanderbilt, 41-18.

“I feel we were playing pretty good defense in the first half,” said former head coach Derek Dooley. “ (I) felt we really only gave up one play (in the first half) and came out in the second half and not much changed on the offensive side of the ball, and (we) just couldn’t hold on, on the other side. Give Vandy a lot of credit. They are playing really well and we’re not. Just a real tough way to finish the game and a tough way for the season.”

For the second year in a row the Volunteers will not be going bowling at season’s end.

“We aren’t going to a bowl game,” said Dooley. “We got one more game left, I hope they go play for the seniors. Hope they go and compete and that’s all you can do. We have to represent Tennessee and we didn’t do a good job of that tonight.”

The Volunteer defense was stout in the first half, much like the previous week against Missouri, but as it has for much of the year, Tennessee fell apart coming out of the locker room.

The Commodores (7-4, 5-3) scored 21 third quarter points and went on a 28-0 second half run before Tennessee scored its final touchdown with 6:15 left in the contest on a Cordarrelle Patterson punt return.

“In the third quarter I think they did a good job of winning the special teams battle,” said senior defensive back Prentiss

Waggner. “When they were in the red zone they got points.”

Before last season, Tennessee hadn’t experienced back-to-back losing seasons since 1910-11, and now the program suffers a third losing mark in a row.

For the underclassmen, the toughest part is sending their second group of seniors out without a chance to play in a bowl game.

“This is my second season here and the second year I’m not going to a bowl game because of the last two games,” said Justin Worley. “It hurts and I feel bad for the seniors.”

Senior wide receiver Zach Rogers tried to look at the positives, as he will play his final game in a Tennessee uniform next Saturday against Kentucky.

“It was very frustrating,” Rogers said. “Definitely not the legacy I wanted to leave here.

That’s the nature of it and that’s football for you. We’ve got one more game and we’re going to bounce back and go out with a win.

“I know this one’s tough for us, but we got one more game, we have Kentucky ahead of us so we’re going to try to go out winners,” he added.

The Volunteers credited Vanderbilt and their players’ ability to execute their game plan.

“They came out and played their game,” said senior safety Byron Moore. “They believed the whole time and they fought hard. Hats off to them.”

The Vols host the Wildcats next Saturday in Knoxville in the season finale. The team looks to remain the only program in college football history to not have an eight-loss season.

The Lady Vols volleyball team continues to roll, winning its sixth and seventh consecutive matches in a row over the weekend.

Head coach Rob Patrick’s 500th career match with Tennessee (20-6, 13-4 SEC), the Lady Vols were tested early and often Friday night by the Auburn Tigers (17-10, 8-9) before finally taking the match in five sets Friday at Thompson-Boling Arena.

“It’s gone by really fast,” Patrick said. “I’ve had an incredible administration that’s supported us, and we’ve had some absolutely incredible players that have sacrificed and come here and put in a tremendous amount of work, so those are the things I think of, of 500 matches.”

A back-and-forth match all night, the Lady Vols lost the first and third sets, 25-23 and 31-29 respectively, before finally knocking the Tigers off balance to take the game after five sets.

“I was relieved that we were able to continue to stay in it, one of the teams was going to break down at some point, and it could’ve been us. I was really relieved that we didn’t,” Patrick said. “We wanted to get the kills, we’ve got these big strong hitters that have been very successful over their careers and to be dug over and over again, it gets a little frustrating.”

Five Lady Vols managed to reach double digits in kills for the night and the team was led by senior Leslie Cikra, who tied a career-high kills with 20.

Cikra had a memorable night hitting .425 and only recording 3 errors to go with her kills.

“I probably haven’t scored that many kills since my fresh-

man year, but we switched up the lineup a little bit and with Tiff (Baker) out, (I) had to make the adjustment and come in and play left side,” said Cikra. “It was good to kind of get in the groove tonight, and it was fun.”

Cikra’s performance was aided by an impressive overall effort spread among the rest of the team with junior Kelsey Robinson recording 15 kills and 13 digs with redshirt-senior Kayla Jeter also recording a double-double with 12 kills and 13 digs. Junior Ellen Mullins chipped in with 28 digs to back up her third nomination as SEC Defensive Player of the Week.

Tennessee continued to tear through the late SEC season, taking down LSU in straight sets Sunday afternoon on Senior Day. Seniors Leslie Cikra, DeeDee Harrison, Jasmine Brown and Kayla Jeter were all honored before taking to the court. Tennessee (21-6, 14-4 SEC) swept LSU (12-16, 8-11), 25-20, 25-19, 25-21.

Commodores sink Vols, Dooley, 41-18 “It’s gonna be a different feel for us this next week, but this senior class is not gonna go out with a loss. I know this one’s tough for us, but we got one more game, we have Kentucky ahead of us so we’re gonna try to go out (as) winners.”

Zach Rogers, Senior Wide Receiver

Matt Gray Staff Writer Starting quarterback Tyler Bray was benched by former head coach Derek Dooley in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Bray got off to a slow start, completing just five of his 14 pass attempts for 65 yards in the first quarter, and for only the second time since 1983, Vanderbilt took down long-time rival Tennessee, by a score of 41-18.

Tennessee Dooley said Bray made some bad decisions early in the game.

“When he threw the interception (in the second quarter), we went with (sophomore quarterback) Justin (Worley) to try and settle him down,” said Dooley.

“We put him back out in the third and not much really changed.”

Worley’s first drive ended after eight plays with an interception that was returned to Tennessee’s 10-yard line, but came back on his next drive and led the Vols on a ten play, 51-yard drive that ended with a field goal. Despite Worley’s relative success, Dooley said he had to give Bray another chance in the second half.

“I wanted to give Tyler (Bray) a chance to go back out there.

He’s earned that as well as he’s played,” said Dooley.

Senior wide receiver Zach Rogers said it was a little “weird” to have Worley out there on the field instead of Bray.

“It was a little weird, but at the same time I’m not gonna ques-

tion the coaching at all. They thought that Worley gave them a better shot as they put him in,” said Rogers. “We just gotta go with what is out there and play with the eleven that are on the field.”

Against an offense that had scored at least 30 points in four of its last five games, Vanderbilt held the Vols’ offense to just 10 points and 303 total yards.

Dooley said they can’t take any credit away from what Vanderbilt was able to do on defense.

“They held us to ten points on Parker Eidson • The Daily Beacon offense. I never thought that Sophomore Justin Worley sizes up the Vanderbilt defense on Saturday night in Nashville. would happen, not at all,” said Dooley. “It was probably a combination of both (poor offense and good defense).”

Junior safety Byron Moore, who had a late interception, also had positive things to say about Vanderbilt.

“They came out and played their game. They believed the whole time and they fought hard,” said Moore. “Hats off to them.”

This loss means for the second year in a row, Tennessee will not be going to a bowl game. Rogers, from Nashville, said this wasn’t the kind of legacy he wanted to leave at UT. “It’s gonna be a different feel for us this next week, but this senior class is not gonna go out with a loss,” Rogers said. “I know this one’s tough for us, but we got one more game, we have Kentucky ahead of us so we’re Parker Eidson • The Daily Beacon gonna try to go out (as) win- Marlin Lane takes a handoff from Tyler Bray during the Vanderbilt game on Nov. 17. ners.”
