Palestinian students bring conflict conversation to UT

BEING THERE,

Hannah Marley Staff Writer Imagine living on a campus where U.S. military troops stormed in tearing down posters, breaking up demonstrations and arresting your classmates -- all in the name of national security. For Lian Derini and Emad Nazzal, two Palestinian students at the Birzeit University in Palestine, this hypothetical is their reality as college students in the middle of the PalestinianIsraeli conflict. As part of the Right to Education Campaign through Birzeit University, Derini and Nazzal will be touring the U.S. for 14 days, working to inform American students through their own testimonies about the difficulties many Palestinian students face when trying to get an education. These challenges, presented by Derini and Nazzal, include crossing multiple checkpoints to be eligible to attend universities, cooperating with the military involvement that is dispersing “anti-Israeli” activities, facing the constant fear of arrest for participating in those activities, censorship and the possible closure of any university at any time.

UT students witness Ferguson protests firsthand Hayley Brundige News Editor (@hayleybrundige)

Hands up – don’t shoot. Wednesday evening, students and staff packed into a lecture hall in the Alumni Memorial Building, filling every seat and lining the walls, to hear the experiences of six Knoxvillians who recently traveled to Ferguson, Missouri. The group drove seven hours to the St. Louis suburb to take part in the social movement protesting the death of Michael Brown, an 18-yearold black man who was killed, unarmed, by a white police officer Aug. 9. Josh Inwood, associate professor of geography and one of the event’s organizers, said the underlying economic, racial and social causes of poverty and violence are grossly under-scrutinized in the U.S. “Rarely, if ever, do any of these broader structures of violence register in the politically-

infused, media-driven agenda,” Inwood said. “A legacy of racism, prejudice, intolerance and discrimination pales in comparison to the vivid video images of ‘rampaging African-Americans.’” Coy Kindred, the executive director at The FLOW, a grassroots organization dedicated to changing the perception of hip-hop, said the constant presence of protesters in Ferguson was impressive and she wished she could have stayed longer. “These people were sleeping in the streets,” Kindred said. “They were going non-stop. When we got there, they had been there, camped out, fighting every day, spending more time in jail than Darren Wilson.” For Jasmine Taylor, junior in political science, the opportunity to meet and protest alongside Ferguson natives still grieving over Michael Brown’s death was a powerful experience. “Hearing his mother at the front of the crowd, talking about how she was looking forward to her son being a success ... and how that was

just shot down in the middle of the street and how devastating that was for the community – it humbled me as an organizer,” Taylor said. Sophomore Katie Myers, who grew up in an affluent suburb in Maryland, said she decided to go to Ferguson to “look for the truth” about police brutality and social inequity. “When I went there, and I heard the stories, I realized that I had been lied to all my life about how the world was,” Myers said. “And that made me really, really angry.” In Ferguson, protesters are caught between the anger they long to express and the peaceful response they believe will prove more effective long-term. Taylor described one situation she witnessed in front of the police station in which protesters were peacefully voicing their concerns to officers. See FERGUSON on Page 2

Vols cruise to 70-58 win over Texas Southern thanks to crowd’s energy Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB) His Volunteers needed a boost. Donnie Tyndall put it upon himself to provide it. With his team knotted up at 33 with Texas Southern in the early minutes of the second half, the first-year head began emphatically waving his arms up and down, imploring the home crowd to come to life. They did, and Tennessee’s defense fed off of it. In those final 18 minutes of action, the Vols outscored the Tigers 37-25 en route to a 70-58 victory Thursday inside Thompson-Boling Arena. “There is no way we win that game tonight if it wasn’t for our fans,” Tyndall said. “In the second half, I was encouraging them to get into the game, and we made our run as they were getting loud and into it. We certainly appreciate them. They were a big key tonight.” The energy of the crowd proved to be a big benefit to Tennessee on the defensive end of the floor. In the second half, the Vols forced nine Texas Southern turnovers after the Tigers only committed four in the opening period. “In the last eight to ten minutes, we wear on people and we

take their legs,” Tyndall said. “I don’t know that we will do that every night against really good competition, but that is certainly what we are going to strive to do. “In our press, we always tell our guys that it isn’t always about getting traps, it’s about wearing on them. Make them earn every dribble — every bounce is contested — and I thought we did a good job of that in the second half.” The first, however, proved to be a different story. Tennessee didn’t secure its first lead of the contest until the 7:59 mark of the first half, and could never put together a lead of more than three. Both teams struggled from the field early on, as UT shot 34.4 percent from the floor in the opening period compared to Texas Southern’s 32.1 percent. “We knew they were a good team,” junior guard Kevin Punter said. “Give them credit, they are scrappy team and they played hard. The game was tied at half, which we feel like it shouldn’t have been, but in the second half we played a lot better.” The Vols were led by senior guard Josh Richardson, who finished the night with a game-high 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals. But after Richardson and Punter combined for nine turnovers against VCU Friday, the Vols

Where can one find the third best printmaking program in the nation? Some might be surprised to find it’s here at UT. The printmaking studio rests on the second floor of the Art and Architecture Building, tucked into the back right corner with a cutout arrow suspended from the ceiling to announce its presence. After filing past the numerous art displays and curious works-in-progress that line the walls and fill the spacious main lobby of the building, the wooden doors enclosing the printmaking studio hold the promise of further surprises within. In this room, numerous students work on communal presses as a soft hum of activity fills the air. Associate professor in the School of Art, Koichi Yamamoto, can be found in his office, not grading papers but in an apron contemplating his next work. Yamamoto has his own

description for the scene taking place here. It’s a jam session, and he said it’s quite fun. “There’s a great energy here. I think this program -- we are ranked nationally No. 3 -- has contributed,” Yamamoto said. “It had a lot to do with gathering the right people and putting them in the environment to create the dialogue. Also, there’s some healthy competition a little bit, especially among the graduate students.” Despite the mild competition, the communal nature of printmaking leads to a close knit community among the students. “I think that’s the thing, that the studio is a communal studio,” Yamamoto said. “It’s not like it’s a ‘your’ or ‘mine’ own studio; it’s our studio which forces us to interact and communicate and share and also take care of the studio too.” An interactive spirit among the artists seems to be a part of printmaking itself.

CAMPUS NEWS PALESTINE continued from Page 1 Derini noted censorship can be one of the greatest obstacles these students face. “Intellectual censorship is very obvious in the universities,” Derini said. “It prevents anyone from doing any speech or any demonstrations about Palestine.” Nazzal and Derini said Israeli officials often claim controlling Palestinian education and strongly supporting pro-Israel history and geography textbooks are more important than the physical conflicts and violence Palestinians face everyday. “In the schools there, I was taught how to be an Israeli citizen and that I am an Israeli citizen and should be loyal to the state of Israel,” Derini said. “I learned about Jewish history and culture, but I was ignorant about my own history as a Palestinian. We do not have the right to preserve our culture and our history, we are not treated like a national minority.” It is impossible, however, to talk about the educational censorship without talking about the ongoing violence. Several UT students, including Jacob Price, senior in mechanical engineering who studied abroad in Israel for five weeks, expressed concerns about the way Palestinians are reacting towards the Israelis as well as how the conflict should be resolved. “Do I think there are times when violence is necessary?” Price asked. “Yes. But, to me, strategically, non-violence is a much more effective means to an end there.” Amira Sakalla, senior in supply chain management who invited Derini and Nazzal to visit UT, said this difference of opinion can be largely

attributed to inadequate coverage of the conflict by American media. “I think that a lot of American media can be biased toward Israel, even just in the way things are worded,” Sakalla said. Nada Habiby, senior in management and a Palestinian-American, agreed, stating she witnessed the violence this summer and can validate that Derini and Nazzal’s stories are accurate and are often misrepresented by the media. “Everything that they’ve said, I’ve lived through, I’ve been through,” said Habiby. “I couldn’t go out at night, I had to stay at the house I was staying at. I could barely walk around during the day because it was so dangerous for a Palestinian to be walking around.” Derini and Nazzal also mentioned how they saw many aspects of their own struggles reflected in the recent protests taking place in Ferguson, Mississippi. They used their experiences there to identify several similarities between the two conflicts. “This experience in St. Louis and Ferguson changed my whole opinion about what’s happening in America and about what’s happening in Palestine,” Derini said, noting the protests, demonstrations and police reactions to the conflict, like using tear gas among other weapons, reminded her of the conflict in Palestine. Sakalla said she hopes students who attended left with a greater understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as well as an increased appreciation for the difficulties of completing an education in countries stricken with political strife. “They came here to talk about their student experiences, and I think it’s valuable to understand what other students in the world have to go through,” Sakalla said. “I think it makes the whole situation much more real and easy to understand.”

FERGUSON continued from Page 1 One woman was “beside herself,” Taylor said, and the protesters became concerned her anger would get out of hand. “There was a moment when everyone was like, ‘let her voice how she feels, she has the right to do that’,” Taylor said. “But then it became a question of the integrity of the movement if she took too far, if she got too close to a police officer’s face.” André Canty, a UT graduate who now works at the Highlander Center, said he was moved by the resiliency of the protesters he encountered

during the trip. “People were calm,” Canty said. “And I think it’s because they’d been through a lot worse before we came down there. When you’re facing rubber bullets, mace and pepper spray and being beat down, a little guy with a megaphone is nothing.” Despite the snipers placed atop the buildings above the non-violent protest and occasional provocation from outsiders, Myers said the participants in the movement knew their ultimate goal could only be achieved through peace. “People understood what was at stake,” Myers said. “They understood that if something was provoked that police reaction would be stronger and that would lead to

violence.” Kindred said the trip offered a chance to step outside her comfort zone and bring her findings back to Knoxville. “We kind of live in these bubbles, and until something happens to us, it doesn’t matter,” Kindred said. “I felt like I had the opportunity to go and make a difference. And even if it was just my body being there, I had to believe that it meant something.” Ultimately, Taylor said the experience proved to her activism does not need to be put off until graduation. “What I would take back from Ferguson is that Millennial activism does exist,” Taylor said. “The youth do care and are engaged.”

Obama spurns GOP with expansive immigration orders Associated Press

Spurning furious Republicans, President Barack Obama unveiled expansive executive actions on immigration Thursday night to spare nearly 5 million people in the U.S. illegally from deportation and refocus enforcement efforts on “felons, not families.” The moves, affecting mostly parents and young people, marked the most sweeping changes to the nation’s fractured immigration laws in nearly three decades and set off a fierce fight

with Republicans over the limits of presidential powers. In a televised address to the nation, Obama defended the legality of his actions and challenged GOP lawmakers to focus their energy not on blocking his actions, but on approving longstalled legislation to take its place. “To those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill,” Obama said, flexing his presidential powers just two weeks after his political standing was challenged in

the midterm elections. As Obama addressed the nation from the White House, immigration supporters with American flags draped over their shoulders marched on the street outside carrying signs that read, “Gracias, Presidente Obama.” Despite Obama’s challenge to Republicans to pass a broader immigration bill, his actions and the angry GOP response could largely stamp out prospects for Congress passing comprehensive legislation under the current administration, ensuring that the contentious debate will carry on into the 2016 presidential campaign. Republicans, emboldened by their sweeping victories in the midterms, are weighing responses to the president’s actions that include lawsuits, a government shutdown, and in rare instances, even impeachment. “The president will come to regret the chapter history writes if he does move forward,” Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who is soon to become the Senate majority leader, said before Obama’s address. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who has refused to have his members vote on broad immigration legislation passed by the Senate last year, said Obama’s decision to go it alone “cemented his legacy of lawlessness and squandered what little credibility he had left.” The president spent months trying to gain a House vote on the Senate bill, frustrating immigration advocates and some Democrats who wanted him to instead take action on his own. While Obama had long insisted that his powers to halt deportations were limited, the White House began seriously exploring options for unilateral action.

Lecture connects students to Eritrean refugee challenges Altaf Nanavati Staff Writer

This summer, 400 Eritrean refugees attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea on an unstable boat. Before they could reach dry land, the boat capsized, drowning all on board. “This is a sign, in my view, of the failure of the refugee regime,” said Tricia Hepner, associate professor of anthropology. The Sociology Student Committee, alongside the Global Studies Club and Club Geography, invited Hepner to discuss “Refugees, AsylumSeekers, and Structural Violence,” in Hodges Library on Wednesday afternoon. Focusing on the condi-

tions of refugees from Eritrea, Africa, Hepner spoke about how the lack of human rights, stable government and social identity are major problems in refugee camps. The lecture was framed around the definition of structural violence, or when a societal structure or institution prevents someone from meeting basic human needs. Hepner described how the components of this violence eventually pushed people out of Eritrea to seek asylum. “The very act of being positioned in a structure and having your human dignity, your human worth or your human potential constrained by structural forces can be referred to as structural violence,” Hepner said. Soon after Eritrea gained independence in 1993, the country aimed to take control of its own fate, Hepner said. In order to strengthen the development of the country, the Eritrean government enforced a new law that required everyone residing in the region to serve a military sentence. Hepner pointed out that this was one of the earlier forms of structural violence in Eritrea due to the lack of opportunities the people of the country were provided. “With this military model, political diversity and political opinions of social identities are sharply curtailed,” she said. Additionally, Eritrea is one of the top refugee producing countries in the world. A majority of the people settled in Eritrean refugee camps were either former military conscripts or unaccompanied minors. Hepner stressed that the greater problem with this “refugee regime” is that the inhabitants were stripped of their own social identity. “People at these camps are given their ration cards and numbers and become reduced to these faceless mass of victimized and vulnerable people who are managed by this huge

bureaucratic apparatus which we call the ‘refugee regime’,” Hepner said. One of the roles these refugee regimes take on is coming up with lasting solutions for the refugees, like resettling them in their country of origin or absorbing them into the host society. However, as Hepner explained, since none of these options are very accessible to the vast majority of the people, the refugees take it upon themselves to seek asylum in other countries. “The difference between a refugee and an asylum-seeker is that instead of being one of the faceless masses, they become an individual before the law,” Hepner said. After the asylum-seekers arrive at their destination, they go through a series of processes to prove, through a series of documentations and interviews, they have fled their country due to persecution or other acts of violence. This process can take up to 10 years, and most asylum seekers are immediately detained or imprisoned until they receive approval. If the country does not see the refugee’s reason for leaving as valid, the refugees can be immediately deported. “When someone is taken from a traumatic situation, put into a detention center and treated as a criminal while they are trying to prove that they are, in fact, a political refugee, they become a victim of a serious form of structural violence,” Hepner said. Jeremy Cox, senior in political science, said he was very intrigued by some of the points Hepner discussed, including the conditions of the refugee camps. “Before the lecture, I knew absolutely nothing about the conditions in Eritrea,” Cox said. “I was shocked by the amount of time people spent at the refugee camps and the repression they faced even when they were seeking asylum in other countries.”

Elenowen brings new tour to local venue UTOP trip to ring

in New Year with caving excursion

Hannah Moulton Copy Editor (@Hannah_Moulton)

The Concourse at the International will welcome folk duo Elenowen to its stage Saturday night at 8 p.m. Centering around being in the moment, the couple has kicked off this tour with a new perspective and a new album entitled, “For the Taking.” Husband and wife Josh and Nichole Johnson met when they were just teenagers, claiming to fall hard and fast right from the start. Josh Johnson explained the summer of 2003 was when he bought his first guitar, and it was also the summer he started writing love songs for Nichole Johnson. “I loved them,” Nichole Johnson said. “They were great love songs.” Because Josh Johnson was from Knoxville and Nichole Johnson was from Nashville, the two began a long distance relationship through their teens. When the time came, Josh Johnson started college at Belmont University to study music business and be near Nichole Johnson, saying the decision was a no-brainer. Once the duo was in Nashville together, the idea of collaborating started to form. In 2007, Josh and Nichole Johnson both wanted to put out a record. A friend suggested that they do it together, and so they began to work on their first album. The album featured “The Storm,” the first song they ever wrote together about their newlywed experience and the troubles they were struggling through during their first year of marriage. Shortly after being signed on with a management company, the two received notice in January 2011 that the first season of “The Voice” was scouting talented new artists and accepted duos and original songs. They quit their day jobs and signed with a booking agency to try out the adventure. The fame they received from being on “The Voice” proved to help build their fan base and credibility. “We truly had overnight suc-

Knowing it wouldn’t last forever, the two rode the explosion of fame for as long as possible, trying to get on the path of who they were as musicians. However, Josh and Nichole Johnson didn’t really know what they wanted from their career, and they started touring to try and fall back into the grind of things. Soon it became clear to Nichole Johnson you either love being on the road touring or it is just not meant for you. “All my puzzle pieces have to be lined up for me to be in their career,” Nichole Johnson said. And the puzzle pieces were just not matching. The confusion of where to go next was causing their marriage to suffer. Josh and Nichole Johnson felt trapped. They were living in Nichole’s parents’ basement and desperately needed a change. After a series of long talks and a reflection of their five years of marriage, the two decided to take a leap of faith. Although his dreams centered on music, Josh Johnson explained that Nichole Johnson’s dream was always to be a mother. They decided on the next step: starting a family. Now their baby boy, Nolan, is taking the credit for their new perspective. Nichole claimed

the fulfillment of having their child makes shows better. “When you put the right things first,” Nichole Johnson said, “things start falling into place.” Josh explained everything clicks now, and he truly believes it’s all because of Nichole Johnson being fulfilled and because Nolan brings them copious amounts of joy. Even though they still don’t have everything figured out, the two understand that it is just part of the journey. “This is what your twenties are for,” Josh Johnson said. “You don’t have to have it all sorted out.” So, now with a whole different view on life and their musical career, Elenowen is proud to be on this new tour promoting its new album. The duo will be selling advanced copies at this Saturday’s show, and they are proud of their progress. The new songs are a reflection of the struggles they went through and their dayby-day journey. Written in the basement they lived in, “For the Taking” shares their need to break out of the season they were in. Getting back to the basics is their main concern. Nichole Johnson shared they want to write music solely

about their life. “We are as people and artists, one in the same,” Nichole Johnson said. Specifically for Nichole Johnson, this tour is about bringing a new attitude to the stage. Claiming to always have a subconscious pressure to be a “true artist,” she is learning how to present in the moment and learning how to be herself. She wants to be seen as the mother, wife and musician she is all at once and not just give audience the piece of her that creates music. “This is the season that I am learning how to be comfortable in my own skin,” Nichole Johnson said. Elenowen is excited to show off their blend of genres at the Concourse on Saturday night. The duo is ready to portray themselves not only as singer/ songwriters but as two best friends who love music and do not conform to any certain style, instead combining their favorites into one. Nichole Johnson said they both hope to share this important message with their audience: “We are trying to portray the message of being real and letting people know that these songs were written from a genuine place.”

Alabama singer comes to Knoxville Nicholas Pattillo Contributor

In a quaint venue called The Acoustic Coffeehouse in Johnson City, Tenn., Michael Stovall, a singer-songwriter from Alabama, took control of the microphone as well as fans’ hearts when he sang from his new album “Georgia.” Stovall sang his new hits, “All Good Things Fall Apart” and “Katie,” both of which were accepted with cheer from the Johnson City crowd. Stovall named the album after a brief residence in Athens, Ga. — a time of his life that became the basis for the album. “I named the album ‘Georgia’ because the record is a snapshot of my time living in Athens, Georgia,” Stovall said. “Just to name a few: Bob Dylan, Neil Young,” Stovall said. “I believe all artists have something to offer, but those are a few that really inspire me to continue writing and performing.” However, being born and raised in the South doesn’t mean Stovall cites George Strait and Garth Brooks as musical

influences. Playing the harmonica, acoustic guitar and singing, Stovall does it all, and the songwriter’s diversity led to a a good turnout last Saturday. The music flowed along with the audience’s brews, and with chill and folksy vocals, Stovall’s lyrics spoke to the hearts of some fans. “I really enjoyed his song ‘Katie’ because I could feel he really missed that girl by the words he wrote and just the way he sang,” East Tennessee State University student Nick

Castro said. Other than fan support, Stovall also had plenty of family support as well. With two older siblings and a set of loving parents, he said they follow his passions and listen to his folk influenced music with the rest of his fans. “My dad had a big influence on my music,” Stovall said. “He introduced me to Bob Dylan and The Beatles, and from then on I continued to dig deeper into their music.” Stovall’s tour has only just begun with The Acoustic

Coffeehouse. This new artist plans to travel to venues in Nashville, Athens, Ga., Atlanta and Shelbyville, Ken. Hoping to get his name spread around the Southeast, Stovall is still open to playing at other venues and has his sights on maybe stopping through Knoxville. “Hopefully next year I can get out there and perform at some venues in Knoxville.”

Dropping into a black pit and crawling through tiny spaces are some people’s worst nightmares. For some students, however, this is how they choose to spend their free time. The University of Tennessee Outdoor Program takes multiple caving trips each month, and in December they will go on a winter break trip. Eight participants are allowed to go on each caving excursion with two group leaders. The day trips typically last seven hours with three hours in the cave and the rest of the time spent preparing to go into the cave. The winter break trip will last a week and will have the groups explore three separate caves in different locations. The caves which the groups frequent are located in areas around Pigeon Forge, Marion County and Franklin County. For the winter break excursion, the group will visit Appalachian caves Petty John’s, Keith and Gourdneck. Petty John’s and Keith are horizontal caves which will require crawling through confined spaces. Gourdneck cave features a 35-foot pit which will call for vertical drops into the cave. Senior in food science and caving trip leader Garrett Barnett said the trips are open for beginners despite the drops and crawlspaces. Vertical caving is something new UTOP is trying this year, so extra precautions will be made to ensure the safety of those participating. There will be a vertical ropes lesson given beforehand

as well as safety lines set-up. “We have a safety line set-up for beginners in case they were to mess up or something was to go wrong,” Barnett said. “We can always have them on two ropes.” Sydney Dean, sophomore in animal science, is new to the world of caving. Dean enjoys backpacking but said caving will be an entirely new experience. “I’ve been feeling really citified lately and need to get back to basics again,” Dean said. Despite being new to caving, Dean is aware of the conditions in the caves. “I know the caves will involve rappelling down and some small spaces, so that may prove to be a challenge,” Dean said. “I’m a little nervous because it is a week-long trip away and in a new environment, but overall, I can’t wait.” The ratio of one leader for every four participants ensures the safety of everyone on the trip. Each trip leader is a certified emergency medical responder with wilderness emphasis. And if need be, an extra leader will be included to a trip depending on the amount of risk involved with the cave. Participants find the caving experience is an exciting and fun way to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. “If you’re really wanting to get into something new that most of the population of the world will never get into, then come on this trip,” Barnett said. The deadline to sign up for the winter break trip is Dec. 2. To sign up, students can visit the Outdoor Center on the bottom level of TRECS and fill-out paperwork to attend the trip, which will run Dec. 28 until Jan. 4.

Rob Graham The stock market has become a launching point for movies, TV shows and Ivy League graduates’ drug habits. Today, in The Vol Street Journal, we will take a look at the different markets that make up our campus and using pinpoint accurate analysis, track rather you should buy, sell, or hold the “stocks” that make up your campus portfolio. BUY: Putting the words to the Alma Mater back on the advertising banners during halftime: whenever I write these columns, I strive not to sound condescending or full of myself while making buy/sell/hold calls. That being said, I am the greatest singer to ever grace the hallowed hills of Tennessee. Don’t get me wrong, 26,000th best speller (as seen in last week’s hear/here debacle), but honestly, just a fantastic singer. I always look forward to the halftime Alma Mater, as this is my chance to shine! My fraternity brothers listen to my golden baritone voice and remark; nay, proclaim, “Rob, had we known your voice had the power to save puppies and warm our hearts so, we would have never stuck you in the back during All-Sing, please forgive our glaring oversight!” The only drawback to this wonderful time of the game is the fact that no one else seems to enjoy singing the Alma Mater as much as I do. It dawned on me that this is because the words have been removed from the banners that surround the upper bowl! Instead of a united front of students proclaiming the greatness of the Vols, we look like a group of 50-year-olds at their first contemporary Baptist service; happy to be there, but completely befuddled by what’s going on. Powers that be, please bring back the words so everyone can pledge in love and harmony their loyalty to UT. HOLD:

Canadians: This past week, the Nashville Predators traveled up to Canada to play their arch-rivals, the Toronto Maple Syrups (don’t know too much about hockey, but I’m pretty sure this is close). The game began with a technical malfunction on the microphone during our national anthem. At first, I thought this was just a clever Canadian ploy to silence our freedom, but then, in the most Canadian thing to ever Canada, the crowd joined in to sing our national anthem. This show of genuine respect and camaraderie through sport infuriates me. It makes me question everything my SEC roots have taught me about what it means to cheer for a team. I don’t want to respect rival fan bases and realize their humanity, acknowledging the fact that so much more unites us than separates us! I want to hate them, regardless of personal redeeming qualities! It’s hockey for puck’s sake, the sport where you get a refund if a fight doesn’t break out during game play. This kindness went on to be rewarded by a good ole American 9-2 beat down in a sport that ranks fifth in our national interest. Good on ya Preds, good on ya. The only reason I’m making a hold call is because, seriously, someone hold Canada, they haven’t stopped sobbing since Wednesday. SELL: Not giving 100 percent: As finals week draws upon us, I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to do their best. Taking shortcuts will only hurt you in the long run. Let’s say you have a thesis presentation due today as well as tons of other assignments, but you also write an article for a campus newspaper. You’re 100 words short from your mandated 650, and the deadline is quickly approaching. You can either phone it in, make up a real dumb short paragraph to end it with in order to focus on the things you must do to graduate, or you can dig deep, find something that is much greater; tap into something groundbreaking that has never been discussed before. Almost there, just ignore this last sentence, 650. Rob Graham is a senior in accounting. He can be reached at rgraha12@vols.utk.edu.

What you don’t know about sleep can hurt you Turn of Phrase by

Sarah Hagaman My phone rang, and I opened my bleary eyes with a jolt of surprise. Sleepiness made my voice groggy as I clumsily picked up my phone and answered the call. My mom identified the fogginess of my tone right away. She asked me why I was still in bed, and then I looked at the clock. At nearly 5 p.m., I had slept for almost the entire day. The scenario may not seem abnormal to some, but my inner-morning-person stared at the numbers, with sudden shock and confusion. After a week of late nights writing papers, going to meetings and (finally) spending time with friends, my body was obviously making up for lost time. Sleep, like money and home-cooked meals, is hard to get in college. No one gets enough; scraping in a few quality hours of sleep is almost impossible, as long lines at Starbucks

and empty stares in class often attest. In America, sleep is the silent affliction of the masses; as many as 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep loss or sleep disorders. As inconvenient—and random—as the act of sleeping may seem, its effects possess increasing relevance to nearly every area of our daily lives. Scientists remain undecided on exactly why we sleep, but studies show that lack of sleep can have disastrous results. Poor sleeping habits can affect a person’s physical and mental health on all fronts. Physically, sleep loss over time has been linked to heart disease, heart attacks, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, diabetes, decreased testosterone levels and premature aging. Students attempting to maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise may find their efforts sabotaged by a lack of sleep; the body increases levels of ghrelin, a peptide which stimulates hunger, when a person forgoes too much sleep. Spending the deep hours of the night in the library may, at first glance, appear like a good choice. Sleeping seems excessive when grades are on the line; unfortunately, according to recent studies, grades decrease when

go through all stages of sleep. Run it. A multitude of benefits come with exercising—although it increases alertness, it also enhances deep sleep when bedtime arrives. Don’t check Instagram right before bed. Screens which emit light, like cell phones, TVs and laptops, can trick the mind into thinking it’s daytime; the production of melatonin (a hormone which helps induce sleep) is blocked by exposure to light. Sleeping can be deceptively simple; you get in bed, fall out of consciousness and then wake up. However, sleep’s effect on the body lasts far beyond the few hours spent tucked under the covers—and college students don’t get enough of it. As exams approach, consider putting sleep a notch higher on the priority list. Sleep can do it all—it offers endless health and mental benefits. To put it in the wise words of Ernest Hemingway: “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?” Sarah Hagaman is a junior in English.

students do not sleep. Cognitive processes like problem-solving, memory consolidation, attention span, alertness, concentration and reasoning skills are jeopardized with lack of sleep. To make matters worse, snoozing for less than six hours a night contributes to moodiness and increased levels of depression. Sleep on a college campus is a rare commodity to come by; in fact, the college population holds the title of most sleep-deprived population. One study by Brown University revealed that only 11 percent of college students received quality sleep each night, and 73 percent report having sleeping problems. As exams begin to approach, here are four steps to maximize the sleep you get in your own life: Lucky Number Eight. It seems like a lot. However, (with variations from person to person), eight hours of sleep a night rests, prepares and fortifies the body to perform at the highest level. Consistency is key. Life is unpredictable, but keeping a schedule reduces insomnia and creates a rhythm, both of which maximize the body’s ability to

THE DAILY BEACON â&#x20AC;˘ 5 Arts & Culture Editor Jenna Butz @butzjenna

ARTS & CULTURE PRINTMAKING continued from Page 1 Due to its interdisciplinary nature, printmaking serves as what Yamamoto described as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;crossroadsâ&#x20AC;? of the art disciplines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People from different backgrounds such as illustration, comics, public arts to performance arts even come to printmaking,â&#x20AC;? Yamamoto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the unique nature of this medium â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the diverse disciplines that people bring. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like a campfire setting.â&#x20AC;? Three professors run the extensive program, and each of them began their art careers specializing in a different medium. Yamamoto and Beauvais Lyons got their start in ceramics, while associate professor Althea Murphy-Price was in three-dimensional media. Yamamoto described their shift to printmaking as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of 3D elements crashing into the 2D as a final product.â&#x20AC;? The art of printmaking has a long history of a wide range of applications and influences. Dan Hood, senior in printmaking, spoke on his view of the diversity of printmaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Printmaking started out as a means to reproduce text. It started out that way and has a lot of history in industry and in being able to create multiples and disseminate information,â&#x20AC;? Hood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So printmaking is one of those disciplines in which it has to take from other disciplines because its process is based in matrices â&#x20AC;Ś It offers so much because you can create so much.â&#x20AC;? This begs the question: what is the process behind printmaking? Yamamoto compared it to a cross-country road trip. There are many different routes to the

final print and many possible stops along the way, and in the end itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the journey that shapes the finished product and not the destination. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a delay in the production from the beginning to the end, Yamamoto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance painting or drawing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pretty immediate. You have paint and a paintbrush. Apply it on the canvas and you make a painting out of it, but this process in printmaking, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of filters you go through,â&#x20AC;? Yamamoto described. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some are kind of indirect. Some people it will drive crazy to do that, but at the same time this can be a wonderful opportunity to make strange things happen in between. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very process oriented, and this process can change the content.â&#x20AC;? Printmaking is built on the foundation of other forms of art that help make the layers of the process. Painting, drawing, sculpture and other skils may be necessary to finish an artful print. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes from so many different practices while still encouraging growth in those areas as well,â&#x20AC;? Hood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The history is so rich and so multifaceted in terms of art it makes sense that printmaking is so interdisciplinary.â&#x20AC;? What distinguishes printmaking is the continual evolution and life in the program. Students and professors alike are continually working and pushing the boundaries of their field. Lyons was unavailable for an interview because he has been in Poland for the past week, meaning heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been away from his students. However, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating and awesome that Beauvais is out of town for the week in Poland doing

this artist-in-residency thing,â&#x20AC;? Hood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How cool is that? A professor is out actually doing stuff.â&#x20AC;? The professors share equal admiration for their students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing printmaking for 20 some years, but when I see young people come up with come brilliant ideas and do some fascinating idea process of many combinations, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful learning experience,â&#x20AC;? Yamamoto shared. Then there are the students with a dedication to the art. Hoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal goal is to perfectly capture the versatility and vision of printmaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My kind of philosophy with making art is learn as much as you can to figure out how to utilize your artistic vision in a way that satisfies what you are trying to accomplish,â&#x20AC;? Hood Sarah Smith, left, and Kaitlyn Shaw, right, both seniors in the graphic design program, work on said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever that may be.â&#x20AC;? their printmaking projects. The two agree UTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printmaking program is successful because of the professors. Elissa Hellestrae â&#x20AC;˘ The Daily Beacon

‘You can’t focus on one guy’: Mizzou sports DE talent in Ray, Golden Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor (@dsouth16)

Last season, an array of blackand-gold-clad Tigers played a role in making Tennessee’s first ever trip to Faurot Field a miserable one. Maty Mauk had 277 total yards. Russell Hansbrough ran for a score. Three different receivers caught touchdown passes. Defensive ends Shane Ray and Markus Golden, however, took in most of it from the sidelines. Unable to crack the starting lineup, the duo played sparingly, racking up just six combined tackles in Missouri’s, 31-3, demolition of the Volunteers last November. More than a year later, things are much different. As the Tigers once again prepare for the orange of UT, Missouri’s defensive tandem sits at or near the top of some rather impressive statistical leaderboards, leapfrogging some of the SEC’s most elite defenders. “Those guys are very, very talented,” UT offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian said Wednesday. “They’re very quick off the edge, and the fact that

two guys — and frankly they have some depth likely they’ve always had. “Even last year, those two guys were both backups last year, so obviously, they’ve always had depth and have done a good job of developing their players.” Despite having both starting defensive ends — Kony Ealy and Michael Sam — from last season depart for the NFL, Missouri has hardly skipped a beat in remaining a legitimate pass rushing threat. Ray currently leads the SEC in sacks with 13, while Golden is tied for sixth in the conference with 6.5 quarterback takedowns — both prime reasons why Missouri averages more than seven tackles for loss per contest. “They don’t allow you to focus on just one guy,” Bajakian said. “You can’t focus on maybe chip helping to Shane Ray. You’ve always got to worry about Markus Golden … So they make you focus on all of those guys. “They have a couple different systems where there are times they play three defensive ends in one defensive front in obvious pass situations. Those guys are very active. They’re deep.” While Ray and Golden have churned out noteworthy figures all season, a large chunk of their

production has arrived in a handful of daunting scenarios. Road games. The Tigers have won 10 of their last 11 games away from Faurot Field –including a 51-48 overtime win in Knoxville Nov. 10, 2012 – and are a perfect 4-0 on the road this season. In that quartet of games — wins over Toledo, South Carolina, Florida and Texas A&M — Ray and Golden have combined for 36.5 tackles (11.5 for loss) with 10 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. “They’re just relentless,” offensive line coach Don Mahoney said Wednesday. “They do a tremendous job over time with their coaching staff. And us getting a chance to know them, you can see that over time, the type of guys they’ve recruited and the program. “Again, the consistency with the message and how their coaching is and the technique and the style of play is something we really respect. That’s really what those guys do is they play extremely, extremely hard, and it’s consistent. It’s not one play hard and then a couple plays off. They play relentless. They play the way the game’s meant to be played over and over.”

Ralph David Abernathy IV, older brother to current Tennessee cornerback commit Micah Abernathy, announced earlier this week he plans to transfer from the University of Cincinnati and play for the Volunteers in 2015. The elder Abernathy is a running back who gained a fifth year of eligibility after acquiring a medical redshirt this season at Cincinnati. Abernathy carried the ball 216 times for 917 yards and eight touchdowns in his time at Cincinnati. He was also used extensively in the passing game for the Bearcats, and he was an effective kick returner as well. Ralph David Abernathy has familiarity with Tennessee head coach Butch Jones beyond just his brother being recruited, as he played for Jones during his first two seasons at Cincinnati. The 5-foot-7, 167-pound tailback, however, isn’t the only player considering the Vols who has ties to UT’s 2015 four-star cornerback. Darius Slayton, a four-star receiver in the 2015 class, is a teammate of Micah Abernathy at Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Georgia, and is starting to express a lot of interest in the Vols. Slayton is moving up quickly in recruiting rankings and is starting to draw interest from many top programs around the country. He currently holds offers from South Carolina, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State and many others. Slayton visited the Vols this past weekend for the Kentucky game, and he later tweeted out a picture of himself in the Tennessee locker room wearing a Tennessee jersey. He is, however, scheduled to visit South Carolina this upcoming weekend.

Josh Dobbs knows all about the Missouri Tigers. When Tennessee traveled to Columbia, Missouri, last season, the then-freshman quarterback made his first career start under the lights of Faurot Field. The results were not has he had hoped, as he completed 26 of his 42 pass attempts and threw two interceptions. But most importantly, he failed to lead the Volunteers into the end zone, eventually falling 31-3 to the Tigers. “Obviously, it being my first start, I remember a lot and I know things that I’ve improved on since that game,” Dobbs said. “They were a good team last year, they’re a good team this year, so we’re focusing on this year’s Missouri team. We know what we have in front of us, and we’re excited for the opportunity.” When the Vols (5-5, 2-4 SEC) host the Tigers (8-2, 5-1) inside Neyland Stadium on Saturday, though, they will have a much different Dobbs under center. In three games as UT’s signal caller, the Alpharetta, Georgia, native has amassed 790 yards and seven touchdowns through the air with a 61 percent completion percentage and added 289 yards and four scores on the ground. His 11 total touchdowns is eight more than the total racked up in five games during the 2013 season, and as a starter this year he is a perfect 2-0 compared to the 1-3 record he posted last season. “(He’s) different in a lot of regards, but he also has some similarities (from last year),”

head coach Butch Jones said. “His preparation has not changed. He understands what it is to prepare, but I think the confidence, the live game opportunities that were afforded to him last year, he has really benefited from that. “Just the overall knowledge of being in the offensive system now for over a year as benefited him as well.” Saturday’s contest, however, is more than just a redemption game for UT’s quarterback. It also marks the final game that the senior class will play inside Neyland Stadium as they celebrate Senior Night. “It’s definitely going to be emotional for me because it’s my last time playing with my brothers at home,” said defensive tackle Jordan Williams, who is one of 16 seniors on UT’s roster. “I just have to focus and try to attack it just like every other game. It’s football and you can’t let those distractions get to you.” The Vols are also on the verge of being bowl eligible for the first time since 2010, but Jones said there is no extra pressure on his team to pick up that desired sixth victory. “If we just have the goal of being the best football team we can possibly be, that takes care of itself,” Jones said. “We can control what we can control. We have to stay focused on the task at hand. “With all the adversity we’ve faced so far, the perseverance they’ve shown, there has been really no emotional highs or lows with this football team. They’ve had a workman-like approach, and I don’t anticipate that to be any different this week or the following week.” Kickoff for Tennessee’s matchup with Missouri is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST and will be televised on ESPN.

SPORTS BASKETBALL continued from Page 1 In total, the Vols had four scorers — Punter (13), Armani Moore (11) and Willie Carmichael (10) — finish with double figures. Thursday’s contest also marked the UT debut of junior guard Devon Baulkman, who missed the season opener against the Rams because of a left shoulder injury. The Gulf Coast State College (Fla.) transfer played 10 minutes and scored five points — all of which came in a 17 second span in the first half — on 1-of-2 shooting.

“You can see he’s a good athlete and he can score the ball,” Tyndall said. “He gives us another playmaker off the dribble. We just have to get him defending. There’s no reason he can’t be a good defender because he has good length and athleticism, but that’s just a little bit of a time deal.” The victory marks the first win in the Donnie Tyndall era, which alleviates some of the pressure felt by these players to secure that first win. “I think it took the monkey off our back,” Richardson said. “Now we don’t have to worry about how long it’s going to take to get that first win, but now we got one, so we need to go get some more.”

Carmichael, McGhee help Vols complete second-half push Jonathan Toye Staff Writer (@JonathanToye1) As the game turned: With a team full of newcomers, Tennessee relied on their veterans down the stretch to carry them to a 70-58 victory over the Texas Southern Tigers. With Tennessee clinging to a 49-44 lead with 9:37 remaining in the game, senior Josh Richardson and junior Armani Moore scored Tennessee’s next eight points and gave the Vols their first double-digit lead of the game. “I just looked at the scoreboard and I just knew the game was too close,” Richardson said. “So I had to get a couple of shots up. I got good looks and they fell.” Richardson began the mini spurt with a ten-foot jumper that gave Tennessee a seven-point lead. When the Tigers cut lead back down to five again, Moore responded with two layups on

Tennessee’s next two offensive possessions to push the Vols lead back up to eight. Richardson had a layup of his own on the Vols’ next offensive possession, which gave Tennessee a 57-47 lead. The Tigers never got any closer than eight for the rest of the game. Hot topic: For the first time since Richardson and former Vol Jarnell Stokes took the court against Georgia on Feb. 4, 2012, the Vols started multiple freshmen when Jabari McGhee and Willie Carmichael trotted onto the court for the opening tip. According to Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall, the two freshmen earned their start in the starting rotation. “Jabari McGhee played very well against VCU, and Dominic hurt his hand in practice and didn’t have a great practice the day before he hurt his hand,” Tyndall said. “So that position was up for debate. Willie Carmichael was back to the old Willie Carmichael that he was the first month of the school year, so

we rewarded those guys.” While McGhee only saw 14 minutes of playing time and failed to make a field goal, Carmichael contributed 10 points and seven rebounds to the final stat sheet. Spotlight: Carmichael may not have had the most impressive stat sheet for the game, but he may have had the most impressive play of the game. With the game tied at 19, Texas Southern’s Nick Shepherd appeared to have an easy dunk. Enter Carmichael. Carmichael contested Shepherd’s dunk attempt at the last second, and the result brought a sparse ThompsonBoling crowd to their feet, as the Apopka, Fla., native ricocheted the ball off the backboard and thus was responsible for the game’s first highlight-reel play. “It was energy going through my body when the crowd went crazy,” Carmichael said. While he may have energized the crowd, he also prevented Texas Southern from taking the lead. The other guys: David

Blanks led the Tigers with 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. Say something: Junior guard Kevin Punter on whether he had any influence on the starting lineup song being a Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement”: “I don’t even remember, but it sounds good though. Being from New York — I’m from the Bronx, he’s from Brooklyn — I’m far away from home, so if you are from New York you always got to represent.” Outside the box score: Tennessee has now won 23 consecutive home-opening games. The win also ensured that Tennessee avoided their first 0-2 start since the 1965-66 season. By the numbers 13: The Vols outrebounded the Tigers by 13 (40-27). 76.5: Tennessee shot 76.5 percent from the free throw line, which is a significant improvement from the 51.5 percent they shot in their season opener. 16: The Vols’ bench contributed 16 points on the night.

Lady Vol guards look to increase tempo against Winthrop Patrick MacCoon Staff Writer (@PatrickMacCoon)

The No. 4 Tennessee Lady Volunteers will once again look to push the tempo Friday night when they take on the Winthrop Lady Eagles from the Big South conference. With a surplus of talent and athleticism at the guard position, UT will not want to lay off the gas pedal. “We’ve had a lot of guard play, so we are focused on getting up and down the court just as Holly has been telling us in practice,” sophomore starting point guard Jordan Reynolds said. “She’s been telling us to get it and go even if another team scores on a made basket or rebound.” Through the first two games, Reynolds has set the tone on both ends of the court, as she leads the team with 10 steals and has averaged six assists per game. Despite not starting any last season, the 5-foot-11 guard has started each game and will hold onto that role as long as she keeps setting the pace and living up to the expectations her coach has of her. “Jordan has had great games,” head coach Holly Warlick said. “She’s pushing the ball down the floor more than I’ve ever seen a guard in a long time. I have a lot of confidence in her, and I have a lot of confidence in Ariel (Massengale) and Andraya (Carter), but Jordan has been steady and she’s been our leader.” In blowout wins against Penn and Oral Roberts, the Lady Vols have averaged 24.5 assists per game and 16 steals while only turning the ball over a total of 21 times. For Reynolds, Massengale, Carter and freshman guard Alexa Middleton, they all understand what is expected of them when they check into the game. “Push the tempo and run the team,” senior point guard Ariel

Massengale said. “We can do that with the amount of guards we have. We don’t have to play a lot of minutes or worry about getting tired because you can easily get a sub since there’s so many of us. You can get a quick break and then come right back in.” While Warlick believes the starting lineup will remain the same for game three — Reynolds, Middleton, Jaime Nared, Bashaara Graves, Nia Moore— there will be times during the game against Winthrop she will want to run all four guards out on the court with a post. Tennessee (2-0) experimented with the four-guard lineup against Oral Roberts and ran a half-court press which forced numerous turnovers. “I like it when we can match up with the other team,” Warlick said. “We got out and pushed the ball a little bit more last game and had a little bit more energy. The four guard rotation is kind of fun. It’s different for us really.” Winthrop (1-1) will have to try and slow down Tennessee’s uptempo attack which has averaged 94 points per game and ranks as one of the top in the country so far. The Lady Vols will also get the benefit of having senior forward Cierra Burdick back after serving a two-game suspension for violating team rules. Last season, Burdick had her best season yet, averaging 8.7 points and a career-high 7.3 rebounds per contest.

“Cierra is a vital part of this team and its success,” Warlick said. “She made a mistake and she’s dealt with it and is moving on.” Despite her absence from the lineup, Burdick’s support of her team has not been missed as she hyped up the crowd and her teammates before each game in the starting lineup introductions. “It doesn’t change her perspective of how she feels about her teammates, coaches and this program,” she said. “She is a vocal

leader and leads by example. She is one of the hardest working kids we have and that has not wavered at all regardless if she has been playing or not. We are glad to get her back.” Isabelle Harrison (knee) and Jasmine Jones (head) will remain out of the lineup Friday night with injuries. Tipoff for Tennessee’s matchup against Winthrop inside Thompson-Boling Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST and can be streamed on SEC Network+.
