Mystery of campus sculptures solved Mary Beth McCauley Staff Writer

Over the past few weeks, students may have noticed new art installations popping up around the Humanities building and the Art & Architecture building. The first of these sculptures remained in place for a week before disappearing and being replaced with new, completely different pieces the following week. The lack of a plaque or explanation for the structures left some asking if the university was responsible or if someone else placed these statues around

campus. As it turns out, students in the School of Art’s Advanced Metal Fabrication class, also known as Sculpture 245, have been working on these sculptures throughout the semester. Erin Tucker, a teaching assistant for Sculpture 245, said the sculptures are students’ individual responses to a prompt that they were asked to base their art off of. “Once the assignments are complete, they are installed outside for about a week so they can be critiqued,” Tucker said. Jason Brown, the professor for Sculpture 245, enjoys the critiquing process and watching his students grow throughout the semes-

ter. “Critique day is always full of surprises, mostly positive,” Brown said. “It is rewarding to see the results of each student’s hard work, creative problem solving and growth in technical and conceptual skills. I think that a critique can be both a humbling and celebratory experience.” With the sculptures on display changing almost weekly, Tucker said the project requires students to work extremely hard and extremely fast. “For one prompt, students were required to build something that was as least 10 feet high. They’re doing a lot of work in this course,”

Tucker said. For their final project, students will be focusing on the digital aspects of sculpture building. “The final project for the metal fabrication class is a digital fabrication assignment, in which each student is using the CNC plasma cutting tool in our metal shop,” Brown said. “This experience is helping them prepare for industrial and commercial opportunities but also to think differently about designing and fabricating objects.” See SCULPTURES on Page 8

Earthquake rocks northeastern Japan

‘Lily’ from AT&T commercials helps refugees

The 2016 AMAs prove emotional, Gomez wins big

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit north-eastern Japan near Fukushima on Tuesday morning, Nov. 22. The force of the earthquake caused a tsunami warning to go into effect, with estimated wave heights of 10 feet. The depth of the earthquake was estimated to be around 15.5 miles. Initially, the U.S. Geological Survey put the earthquake at a magnitude of 7.3 but later lowered it to a 6.9. The last time an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan was in 2011 when Fukushima’s nuclear power plant was destroyed. Inspection of the plant following this morning’s earthquake found no major damage.

The Los Angeles based actress, Milana Vayntrub, best known for her roles on the popular AT&T commercials as the happy technician ‘Lily’ has set up an outreach program for Syrian refugees coming to America. She set up a website titled “Can’t Do Nothing” to crowdfund resources and volunteers to aid in the refugee crisis and help refugees settle into the country. Vayntrub, who comes from a Jewish family, moved to America when she was only two, fleeing from the former Soviet Union to find refuge in the United States. “Can’t Do Nothing” has already raised thousands of dollars and Vayntrub hopes that it will provide some sort of relief for tired families coming to an uncertain America.

Selena Gomez inspired everyone with her acceptance speech upon winning Favorite Female Artist. The singer has taken a recent hiatus from the spotlight to deal with her Lupus diagnosis. In her speech, Gomez thanked her fans for their support through this tough time, “If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken. That’s one thing you should know about me – I care about people. And this is for you,”she said. The audience was visibly moved with Lady Gaga tearing up and Hailee Steinfeld giving Gomez a hug after her exit from the stage.

Officers douse pipeline protesters in subfreezing weather Associated Press CANNON BALL, N.D. — Authorities on Monday defended their decision to douse protesters with water during a skirmish in subfreezing weather near the Dakota Access oil pipeline, and organizers said at least 17 protesters were taken to the hospital — including some who were treated for hypothermia. The clash occurred late Sunday and early Monday as protesters trying to push past a long-blocked bridge on a state highway were turned back by authorities using tear gas, rubber bullets and water hoses. One officer was injured when struck in the head with a rock. One protester was arrested. Protesters and officers massed at the bridge again late Monday morning, but protesters dispersed a few hours later at the request of tribal elders after police warned the crowd that they’d identified firearms and that anyone with a weapon should leave. The Standing Rock Sioux and others oppose the 1,200-mile, four-state pipeline being built to carry oil from western North Dakota to a shipping point in Illinois because they say it threatens drinking water on their

nearby reservation and cultural sites. Pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners has said no sites have been disturbed and that the $3.8 billion pipeline will be safe. The pipeline is largely complete except for the section under a Missouri River reservoir in southern North Dakota, and ETP Chief Executive Kelcy Warren said Friday the company is unwilling to reroute the project. What’s known as the Backwater Bridge on state Highway 1806 has been shut down for weeks because authorities say it might be unsafe due to earlier fires set by protesters. Protesters say the closed bridge near their main camp blocks emergency services, and they accuse authorities of keeping it shut down to block their access to pipeline construction sites. Authorities dispute that. Additional testing is needed to make sure the bridge is safe, and that can’t be done until the area is deemed safe for inspectors, said state Transportation Department spokeswoman Jamie Olson. At least 17 protesters were injured severely enough to be taken to hospitals during the overnight skirmish at the bridge, said Dallas Goldtooth, an organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network. “Hypothermia, a number of head injuries

from being shot with rubber bullets, one individual had a heart attack,” he said. Daniel Kanahele, 64, a native Hawaiian, said he was hit with tear gas, water spray and a rubber bullet in a leg, and “it took me off my feet.” He was treated at the scene. Although Goldtooth said a water cannon was used to douse the protesters, Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said only fire hoses were used. Sheriff’s spokesman Rob Keller said a tactical vehicle spraying tear gas has been mistaken by some people as a water cannon. Kirchmeier defended the use of water hoses, saying protesters were using aggressive tactics themselves. “We’re just not going to let people or protesters in large groups come in and threaten officers. That’s not happening,” the sheriff said. Mandan Police Chief Jason Ziegler said authorities won’t rule out using water again if it’s deemed necessary “to maintain control and order.” Margaret Huang, executive director of the human rights organization Amnesty International, sent a letter to Kirchmeier on Monday saying the water tactic “risks potential injury and hypothermia.”mane.”

Baker Center lecture features international security relations Annie Tieu

Contributor On Monday, Nov. 21, the Baker Center held another Global Security Lecture featuring Renato Cruz De Castro, senior professor of International Studies, at De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines. The lecture, titled “The South China Sea Dispute: US - Philippines - China Security Relations,” was held in the Toyota Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. In his lecture, De Castro spoke on the geopolitics of the U.S.-Philippine alliance. Historically, these two countries have had strong relations, and the Philippines is one of the oldest Asian alliances as well as a major non-NATO ally. The Philippines is a small power that relies on the U.S. as an ally over China, because there would be too many territorial disputes between the two neighboring countries. The purpose of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia is to establish a balance of power, which counters China. The idea of a balance of power as it relates to international relations is the theo-

ry that countries make and remake alliances so not one state is stronger than the other. These relations are particularly relevant considering China’s maritime expansion efforts in the South China Sea. China is attempting to develop a blue-water navy, allowing its naval force to expand far beyond Chinese borders, and it has also been building artificial islands in the South China Sea for military bases. “There’s now a growing view in Washington that China’s behavior toward the Philippines is a reflection of how China would be behaving in the future: assertive, militant, and, of course, expansive,” De Castro said. This conflict is just one in a series of historical territorial disputes between China and neighboring countries, including Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines. “We are aware that no amount of resources will enable the Philippines to address the overall strategic imbalance between the Philippines and China,” De Castro said. “So this is where, of course, the (U.S.Philippine) alliance comes in.” The alliance is shown through both the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) and the Mutual Defense Treaty.

EDCA is an agreement that allows the U.S. to rotate troops into the Philippines for extended stays and permits the U.S. to build and operate facilities on Philippine bases for both countries’ forces. Furthermore, the Mutual Defense Treaty states that any attack on the Philippines would be considered an attack on the U.S. However, unlike NATO, the treaty does not require the U.S. to immediately respond. However, these relations have been strained by Rodrigo Duterte’s Administration. Duterte, the current President of the Philippines who holds anti-American sentiments, has stated in the past he was seeking alliances with Russia and China and was terminating the Philippine-U.S. joint patrols in the South China Sea. After he made these statements, he backtracked, claiming he only sought an economic alliance with China, not a militaristic one. Krista Wiegand, director of the Global Security Program who was responsible for inviting De Castro, expressed her thoughts on the importance of understanding these relations. “Regardless of what President-elect Trump does with his policies, what happens

in East Asia and the Pacific with China, Japan, the Philippines, all of those countries, economically, but also militarily, really matters to the U.S.,” Wiegand said. “So it’s really critical for Americans to understand that our relationship with Asia is really important … The U.S. has this really special relationship with the Philippines.” De Castro earned his doctorate from the University of South Carolina as a Fulbright Scholar in 2001. He has previously held lectures at the National Defense College of the Philippines on International Relations and Security. Currently, he is the U.S.ASEAN Fulbright Initiative Researcher for the Philippines based in Washington, D.C. His research interests include the international politics of East Asia, security relations between the U.S. and Philippines, Philippine defense and foreign policies and U.S. defense and foreign policies in East Asia. He has written more than 80 articles on international relations and security, which have been published in scholarly journals across the world, including the Philippines, South Korea, Canada, Malaysia, France, Singapore, Taiwan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia and the U.S.

The kangaroo court of post-truth politics

Jarrod Nelson Socialized

There’s a scene in the movie “Arrival” where Amy Adams’ character, Dr. Louise Banks, is explaining how language works to Forrest Whitaker and his lazy eye. James Cook, she says, landed on Australia confused, hot and itching for gold. Time for a conquering. But, he and his crew were distracted. Things hopped here –– large, chestnut brown creatures with tails the size of logs and with overgrown rat faces. They embodied hopping; God had made them for hopping. Cook and his men went to the aboriginals. They had not quite killed them yet, if you’re keeping up with the timeline here. He pointed at the large, chestnut brown hopper and asked, “What are those roguish devils?” “Kangaroo,” replied the dumbfounded aboriginal man. Cook took him at his word. This one, novel word. It was only later, Banks concludes, that Cook and his men learned that kangaroo, in the aboriginal language, meant “I don’t understand.” Later, she admits this story was completely false. But her point was made, and her point was true. Thankfully, I haven’t been doing that to you. Pretty much any story you’ve read in this column is true. I really did go to that apple festival. I really do like “Mad Men” now. I really did meet an Italian communist who told me not to worry about Donald Trump. (Thanks a lot, Francesca!) For some people though, the truth is not quite so … oak like. It’s more similar to balsa wood. It proves flexible, pliable or perhaps just unimportant; because what seems more important is how people feel about the truth. Economists have had a rough go of it in 2016. Not only do they have to watch the American people act explicitly against their interests, but the foundational assumption of their profession is under assault from all sides. After all, economics, at its core, holds that people are rational agents. In 2016 though, are we allowed to say that anymore without breaking character and laughing into the camera? It seems that the

“

driving force of this election season was not rationality, but emotive power. What people were made to feel was much more important than what people understood. This was a position implicitly accepted or explicitly pushed by both sides. Hillary Clinton’s main campaign message was that Donald Trump was too insulting, too dangerous, too emotional, to be president of the United States. Donald Trump took that a step further, completely agreed with Hillary Clinton’s message and figured that people would not care as long as he said things that made people angrier at her than they were at him. If you’re in a fist fight after all, it’s easier to simply punch back than change the rules about where you can punch. This emotionality has seeped into news, into culture and into truth itself. Over the last month of the election, the top 20 fake news stories got over 2 million more views than the top 20 real news stories. Oxford Dictionary declared “post-truth” the word of the year. People simply read what they knew would make them feel better. You made the truth for yourself. And there was a whole industry behind letting you exercise that right. Kangaroo this. (Use the fake definition.) I have no idea if this is the new paradigm. I don’t know if it’s an old paradigm that I just hadn’t noticed. But what I do know is that it is very easy to get people to believe something that they already agree with, and that it is 10 times harder to shovel manure away than it is to make it. If this is going to continue to be a problem, something ’s going to have to give. We’re either going to need a bigger shovel, less cows or more kangaroos. With choices like that, do we even want to know which is right? Jarrod Nelson is a senior in public relations and can be reached at jnelso47@vols. utk.edu.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Penn State throws Lady Vols to the lions David Bradford Staff Writer

After scoring at least 80 points in each of their first three games, the Tennessee Lady Vols threw away their streak in a loss on Sunday, Nov. 20, against Penn State. The Lady Vols struggled against the Lady Lions’ zone, shooting 31 percent from the field — including an abysmal 10 percent from the beyond the arc — in their 70-56 loss to the Lady Lions. “If I watched that game, I would think we hadn’t seen a zone in five years,” head coach Holly Warlick said after the game. “You can’t take an uninspired basketball team and expect to win. We were extremely uninspired.” Mercedes Russell (19 points, 11 rebounds) and Jaime Nared (18 points, 11 rebounds) both finished with double-doubles but didn’t receive much help elsewhere. Alexa Middleton, the team’s leading scorer over the first two games, followed a six-point performance against ETSU with a goose egg against Penn State. Diamond DeShields followed a near triple-double against ETSU on Tuesday with

a forgettable performance, scoring eight points on 4-of-15 shooting and five turnovers. The star guard not only dealt with foul trouble but also tweaked her ankle in the first half. Fortunately for the Lady Vols, she managed to return later in the game. Tennessee kept the game close in an ugly first quarter, but a 16-0 run by the Lady Lions in the second quarter resulted in a 33-20 halftime deficit for the orange and white. “In the first half, we were moving the ball around the zone,” Nared said. “We had no movement and when you don’t have any movement, it’s easy to guard in a 2-3 zone.” The Lady Vols crawled within four points after outscoring Penn State 20-11 in the third quarter, but fell victim to the heroics of Teniya Page. In the final frame, Page scored 13 of her game-high of 29 points. “Are we a good basketball team? Absolutely,” Warlick said. “But tonight we were very average. That had to a lot with Penn State and what they did to us.” Tennessee (3-1) has the remainder of the week off before traveling to Blacksburg next Sunday, Nov. 27, when they’ll take on the Virginia Tech Hokies.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Former Vol returns to coach Staff Report

A dream became reality for one former Vol on Monday as Alison Ojeda was named head coach of the women’s tennis team. Ojeda will be replacing Mike Patrick who resigned on Wednesday after coaching the Vols for the last 30 years. “It’s been my dream job since I played here from 1998-2002,” Ojeda said on Monday. “Mike has been an incredible mentor and role model for me as a person and a coach.” Ojeda was hired as an assistant to Patrick in June of this year before being promoted to head coach. During her playing career at Tennessee, Ojeda won 102 singles matches and 105 doubles matches, which puts her eighth in total wins in the program. These win totals also make her one of four females in program history to ever record more than 100 wins in singles and doubles. She reached to as high as number nine in the NCAA singles rankings and number four in the doubles rankings during her playing time. She was an All-American in 2001. Ojeda first fell in love with UT when she toured the university as a recruit.

“It was 1998, and I was in Pat Summitt’s locker room and a recruit asked her why should I come to Tennessee and her eyes got huge and she said ‘Why wouldn’t you come to Tennessee? This is the greatest place in the country. The only reason you wouldn’t want to come here is if you don’t want to be the best,’” Ojeda said. “And, from that moment on I have absolutely lived and breathed Tennessee.” Ojeda brings in 14 years of Division I coaching experience. She was the head coach of Middle Tennessee from 2005-2010 and then the associate head coach at Baylor from 20112015, where two of her teams made the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. In 2011, her team made the NCAA semifinals. Ojeda will become the seventh active fulltime coach at the university who also competed collegiately at the university. Coaching the Vols will be no easy task for Ojeda as she goes up against some of the toughest competition in the SEC. “Being in this conference, I think it’s (competition) a bonus because match after match we have the opportunity to play against the best teams,” Ojeda said. The women’s tennis team will open up their spring season on Jan. 14 at the Michigan Invite in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Thank you: A reflective farewell to our quarterback

Trenton Duffer Sports Editor

It was a little under a month ago that Butch Jones announced Josh Dobbs was still his quarterback. Dobbs was coming off one of the worst performances of his career against South Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 161 passing yards, two interceptions, one touchdown and just 27 rushing yards. And a lot of people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; myself included â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wanted Dobbs to hit the bench. To be honest, there were various times throughout Dobbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career that I wanted him benched. There were moments I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely sold on his playmaking abilities. Let me clarify that I think Dobbs is one of the best role models out there for youngsters interested in playing football, becoming an athlete or simply wanting to become a better leader. I will never question the integrity of Dobbs; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most kind-hearted, down-to-earth people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met (ironic, given heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an aerospace engineer). My main problem came with his on-the-field inconsistency. Tennessee burned Dobbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; redshirt two times. In 2013, he became the eighth true freshman to start as a quarterback for the Vols. During that season, he played in five games and started four that year, No. 1 Alabama, No. 7 Auburn and No. 10 Missouri being notable ones. His numbers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that impressive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 59.5 completion percentage, two touchdowns with five interceptions and 695 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but Dobbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to escape pressure and burn teams with his legs stood out to everyone, myself included. In 2014, which was also my first year here, Dobbs had his redshirt torched against Alabama. Coming in on the third drive of the game, Dobbs was able to put up two touchdowns on Bama, giving the Vols 17 unanswered points after they trailed 27-0. Then Dobbs had his five-touchdown performance against South Carolina, becoming the first Tennessee player ever to have 300+ passing yards and 100+ rushing yards in a game. He was later named MVP of the TaxSlayer Bowl after carving up Iowa for 205 yards of

Dobbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2015 season was an impressive one, too. He had nearly 2,300 passing yards and a 15-5 touchdown to interception ratio. Dating back to 2013, the Vols were 14-5 as a team in Dobbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 19 starts. He also led the Vols to a huge win over Northwestern in the Outback Bowl. But yet, I still critiqued him. My main argument presided in the fact that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was an accurate passer and that he made rushed decisions. The man is one of the smartest athletes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever played the game, but I think that he would overthink simple schemes and routes at times. His final game at Neyland Stadium was incredible, to say the least. He had 223 passing yards, 147 rushing yards and five total touchdowns. I was floored when he threw that 57-yard bomb to Josh Malone. He proved me wrong. As I watched Dobbs leading the Pride of the Southland Band after the game, I had flashbacks to

‘Friendsgiving’ gives students alternative Thanksgiving Courtney Whited Copy Editor

Thanksgiving is a holiday epitomized by food and family, and with approximately 87 percent of undergraduates coming from Tennessee, the majority of students travel home to spend the long weekend with their family. However, some student organizations around campus noticed this still leaves a group of students on campus celebrating the holiday alone in their dorm room. In response, groups around campus have begun to host and plan multiple “Friendsgiving” events to allow students the chance to celebrate the holiday even if they don’t have the chance to do so with their family. UKirk, a Presbyterian Church ministry, will host their first “Friendsgiving” at UT on Nov. 21. The group only asks that attendees bring a nonperishable item to donate to Smokey’s Pantry, citing on their Facebook event page the most needed items: dental products, feminine hygiene products, peanut butter, jelly and canned meat.

“Our student interns, Kristen Sommerfeld and Suzannah Jarmoluk, came up with the idea as a way to invite folks who support this ministry into our house to share a meal with our students and get to know the people they are supporting,” Andy P. Morgan, the reverend at UKirk, said. “We are excited to gather around the table with friends on Monday, and we invite anyone who wants to join to come on over.” In the same spirit, Tyson House residents Sara Poarch and William Simerly planned a Thanksgiving dinner on the holiday itself. “I decided not to go home, and it hit me that some students can’t or don’t want to go home, especially after the election,” Poarch said. “This is not about us being a religious organization, but a student organization that cares about the community and wants to let people know that they are not alone.” The Episcopal and Lutheran ministry emphasizes inclusivity and universal acceptance. “We want to let people know that they are loved just the way they are,” Simerly said. All the food is being donated to Tyson House by churches and members of the community, and there will be two deepfried turkeys as well as multiple side dishes.

You don’t have to believe in Jesus to eat our turkey.” Sara Poarch, Tyson House resident

“We have no expectations,” Poarch said. “If we have five (people in attendance), that’s great; if we have 50, that’s great.” The two emphasized that everyone is welcome to come to the dinner. “You don’t have to believe in Jesus to eat our turkey,” Poarch said. “I don’t want any student eating Ramen noodles alone in their dorm room on Thanksgiving.” UKirk will serve a Thanksgiving meal at 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21, and the Tyson House will host their Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Nov. 24, at 6:30 p.m.

ARTS&CULTURE

SCULPTURES continued from Page 1 While not all of the students’ projects are installed outside, Brown said he and his students prefer the opportunity to move the classroom outdoors. “The outdoor sculpture projects are always more fun because we get to be outside while talking and enjoying the beautiful weather,” Brown said. After a set of sculptures are removed to make room for the next week’s work, the projects are housed in the “Sculpture Yard” of the Art and Architecture building. This sculpture yard becomes a museum of sorts, displaying all kinds of different pieces from classes past and present. In the spring, students in Sculpture 245 will be participating in an exhibit with Dogwood Arts Festival using recycled scrap metal from the Gerdau Ameristeel plant. For more information about the School of Art, visit art.utk.edu. There is also a Facebook page called “UTK Sculpture” for those who are interested in the work that the sculpture department is doing and the art which the students are creating.
