Christmas initiative to help needy children Samantha Smoak Staff Writer

Every December, the winter holidays breathe new life into the spirit of giving. At the Helen Ross McNabb Center in downtown Knoxville, the giving will continue with “Christmas for the Children” and Beth Haynes’ “12 Days of Christmas.” The McNabb Center is a community mental health agency that provides mental health care, addiction treatment and social services to around 12,000 children, adults and families in East Tennessee. “The ‘Christmas for the Children’ program is a program that allows us to help children around the holidays that we serve that are in need,” said Emily Scheuneman, the Public Relations Coordinator for the McNabb Center. “Our staff identifies children that are in need and then work with them to come up with a wish list, and then individuals from the community will be partnered with (the kids) and they’ll go and shop for them. They go and

get presents for (the kids) and then bring them (to) us and our staff will help distribute those,” Scheuneman said. Beth Haynes’ “12 Days of Christmas” supports the “Christmas for the Children” program. Haynes is the co-anchor for WBIR’s “Live at Five at Four,” and the anchor for “Ten News at Five.” Over 60 businesses are sponsoring the auction. “(The auction) is online from Dec 1 through 12. All the items align with the 12 days of Christmas … (For example), for ten lords a leaping we have UT men’s basketball tickets, because there are ten guys on the court … everything we raise through the auction benefits the ‘Christmas for the Children’ program,” Scheuneman said. Kristen Bradley, the early intervention and prevention services coordinator at the McNabb Center, said that one of her favorite parts of “Christmas for the Children” is when Santa comes to visit the children in the therapeutic preschool program.

Art show highlights disability Humanities scholar discusses Samantha Smoak Staff Writer

Those who have never experienced a physical or mental disability are hard-pressed to understand the unique journey of individuals impacted by such conditions. Campus Disability Advocates, a newly recognized organization at UT, will be hosting an art show tonight from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Market Square, with the hopes of shedding more light on disability. The CDA was inspired to organize this event, and the other events of “Disability Awareness Week,” because of how people with disabilities are often viewed by society. “The discourse surrounding disability — when it occurs at all — almost always orients itself around the perspective of an able audience: How can thinking about disability inspire them? How (it can) keep them from getting sued (and) how (it can) improve

their bottom line,” said Hunter McKnight, a founding member for the CDA and senior in linguistics and African studies. McKnight said that the week’s programming is a way to showcase the experiences of students with disabilities. “This art show, along with the rest of this week’s programming, is our way of rejecting this discourse and introducing a new one. This week is about our experiences, our voices and our struggle,” he said. Lindsey Lee, president of the CDA and a junior in math and Spanish, said she hopes this event will shed new light on how the community views disability. “The reason we are doing this is that we want people to see disability in a creative sort of way,” said Lee. “Like the rest of the events of the week, we want people to understand that disability is a really common thing. Twenty percent of Americans have some sort of disability. But people still see

it as a foreign, sort of scary, … thing, and it shouldn’t be thought of in that way … art is one way to kind of express that, to show people’s personhood through the art they create,” she said. Lee submitted a piece, saying that a drawing class she took to fulfill a general education requirement during her freshman year was in the back of her mind while planning the event. “I think that art class had a really big effect on me … that class is always in the back of my mind … when we were planning this whole thing I was like, we have to do something art related,” Lee said. “I hope (people) look at the pieces and … start to understand disability isn’t a death sentence … it’s just something different.” Allison Gose, vice president of the CDA and junior in history and political science, agreed with Lee.

European attitudes on sexuality Justin Joo

Staff Writer The 267-seat auditorium in the McClung Museum was nearly full as Dr. Dagmar Herzog began discussing sexuality in 20th century Europe. “Sexuality in Europe: A 20th-Century History and a History of the Present” was the title of Herzog’s lecture Wednesday night. Herzog is a distinguished professor from City University of New York. Her lecture was based on her 2011 book, “Sexuality in Europe: A Twentieth-Century History,” and is a part of UT’s “Distinguished Visiting Scholars in the Humanities” series. Herzog’s lecture focused on how the 20th century was a period of great sexual liberation, but also a period with much backlash to the rising sexuality and uncertainty within the liberalizing movements themselves. “To only tell a narrative of steady progress would be to misunderstand how truly complicated the sexual politics of the 20th century really were,” Herzog said. Herzog’s lecture first covered Europe’s sexuality through the 20th century, and then how that history has led to Europe’s sexuality in the first decade of the present day. Herzog divided the 20th century into five phases, each with a very distinct contribution to European sexuality. The first phase spanned between 1900 through 1920, and Herzog described it as a time of “yearning from below.” Sparked by sexual scandals involving royalty and celebrities of the day, everyday Europeans started to discuss sexuality more openly. Birth control and sexual pleasure

within marriage also became more prominent in the day-today culture as well. The second phase went from the mid-1920s to 1945, when the state got involved with sexuality. “If the early years of the 20th century are an uprising from below, with people having a sexual interest in pleasure and talking about it,” Herzog said, “the next move is when the state government tried to take control.” With an increased sexuality in the public, the state began to open and operate health clinics and clinics for marital counseling. This was also the start of backlash against more liberalized sexuality. The third phase spanned much of the mid-20th century. Herzog said that it was marked by a turn to a more conservative view of sexuality. Promotion of marriage and keeping sex within the marital bounds increased, but marketing using sexuality began at the same time. This was also the start of political activism for sexual rights. The fourth phase, starting in the 1960s and lasting until the ‘80s, was described by Herzog as a period of “rebellion.” The “make love, not war” movement was in full swing. The feminist movement also began, and the pill became available. But with this period also came backlash against feminism, promiscuity and homosexuality. The final phase started with the era of the AIDS virus. Despite the horror that AIDS brought to the world, it did bring some benefits by forcing everyone to discuss sexuality. Because everyone was vulnerable to AIDS, barriers came down, the state increased education and sexuality became

less taboo. In the 21st century, Herzog described Europe’s sexuality as both liberal but still restricting. In many western European countries, for example, LGBT rights have come to the forefront of legislation and public support. It’s gotten to the point that the European Union will pressure less LGBT-friendly nations to ease their restrictions before gaining access to the EU. “Homophobia is no longer cool in the higher courts of Western Europe,” Herzog said. Herzog also notes that sexuality has become more inclusive. Advertisements feature a variety of groups, and Herzog used examples which included an amputee being used as an underwear model and a woman with Down syndrome seen catching a wedding bouquet in another ad. But there are problems. Herzog noted that the rise in Islam and its stricter code on sexuality often clashes with Western Europe’s more liberal lifestyle. Abortion rights have recently come under fire as well in Europe. Anti-abortion supporters, both from religious and secular movements, have started playing Europe’s increased inclusion of the disabled as a means to condemn abortion. With doctors taking tests that can indicate whether an unborn child will be disabled, anti-abortionists claim that Europe is using these tests as motivators to get abortions and prevent giving birth to disabled children, which the anti-abortionists claim is prejudice.

CAMPUS NEWS SEXUALITY continued from Page 1 Herzog’s choice of 20th century European sexuality as a research topic started all the way

back in 1993, when Theodore Zev Weiss, president of the Holocaust Educational Foundation, requested that Herzog teach on the Holocaust. Once Herzog began looking into the prejudice that was raised against the Jewish people, she noticed that sexuality played a part in

Germany’s hatred. “I didn’t start as just looking at sex, I started by looking at mass murder and religious prejudice,” Herzog explained. “It’s those profound issues … that led me to the study of sexuality because anti-Jewish rhetoric was saturated with sexual innuendo. It was because of this really serious stuff that I started to understand that sexual politics matter.” The branch off from studying the Holocaust to covering the sexuality of Europe started when Herzog was researching and publishing her 2005 book, “Sex After Fascism: Memory and Morality in Twentieth-Century Germany.” People would ask her about the sexuality of other European countries such as France, England and Romania. After establishing contact with Cambridge University Press on the matter, Herzog jumped on the chance to research that question. Monica Black, an assistant professor in history, was one of the coordinators of the

event. Graduate students in her History 510 class suggested bringing Herzog to the university back in March, and Black helped organize the event and requested funding from the Distinguished Visiting Scholars Project. After Herzog’s lecture, Black was very pleased with what she heard. “I thought it was a wonderful example of how a historian can have really interesting things to say about what’s happening ... in the world now and give a kind of back-story to the world of today,” Black said. “For me, that was one of the most important things of the talk.” Black was also thrilled by the number of attendees in the audience. “I thought it was a great turnout because … it’s a topic that interests people,” Black explained. “I think there were a lot of faculty here. There were a lot of graduate students here and there were a lot of undergraduates here. It’s like the whole community of the university. I thought it was great.”

said. “They need to realize that they are not in a world filled with adversaries. The more people communicate, the more accessible and friendly our world is going to be.” Lee added that “Disability Awareness Week,” and the corresponding art show, may help to knit the campus community more tightly together. “If any students with disabilities at UT feel segregated from the regular population or they don’t feel connected to the campus … I hope that changes … I hope they feel like there are lots of other people on this campus that really know and care about disability issues … .” Lee said.

continued from Page 1 “We want to show people, through a medium like art which everyone can appreciate and understand, that people with disabilities are not an alien group that able-bodied people need to fear or be uncomfortable around,” Gose said. Both advocates think this event will unite students with and without disabilities. “I hope students with disabilities will see that able-bodied people are interested in our culture and want to learn more about it,” Gose

Dagmar Herzog speaks on her book, “Sex in Crisis,” in Rio de Janeiro on June 23.

“We pick one gift that, when Santa comes and sees the kids at the program, (that) he actually gives (to the children). … Most of our kids, when they come to our program, are aware it’s Christmas just because of what’s going on society-wise, but they don’t know if they are going to have Christmas,” Bradley said. “So when they see (Santa) … (it’s) a sense of excitement that it’s really happening and that (they) get to have Christmas this year.” For community relations specialist Rebecca McKnight, knowing the end goal is what makes the tedious paperwork worth it. “It’s very fulfilling … going through the paperwork and matching up people and finding sponsors. ... It’s very fulfilling to know what the end goal is, and that kids are going to have presents

and they’re going to be excited,” she said. Bradley added that the most rewarding part for her is helping the children’s parents. “It is a very touching feeling to see when you’re able to help that parent be able to give their child Christmas. That’s probably even more rewarding at times,” she said. Scheuneman enjoys the community involvement most of all. “Our mission is improving the lives of the people we serve and usually that’s through some … support services. (I love) to be able to go above and beyond and involve the community and allow them to be involved in our mission,” Scheuneman said. If any UT student or UT organization would like to sponsor a child, or sponsor multiple children, more information can be found by contacting Rebecca McKnight at rebecca.mcknight@ mcnabb.org. The “Christmas for the Children” event runs throughout the month of December.

Holiday production to focus on Christ, community

The “Living Christmas Tree” production, produced by Seiver Heights Baptist Church, will begin on Dec. 8.

Rebecca Butcher Contributor

In true holiday spirit, the Sevier Heights Baptist Church will be performing their annual “Living Christmas Tree” production at Thompson-Boling Arena. The performance includes about 1,100 participants, including cast, crew and musicians. A majority of the participants are volunteers from the church and include old and young members alike. The huge cast starts preparing months in advance to bring the

story and life of Jesus to audiences. Eddie Smith, 33, has been the director of events and production at Sevier Baptist since 2000. Smith was brought in as an intern and has been over the tree for the last ten years. “If you can breathe, you can be in it,” Smith said. He explains that this year, the story incorporates the struggles of a real couple from the church into the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The theme is that everyone’s narrative fits into God’s overall story. The title is accurately called the “Story Goes On,” describ-

Difficulties abound in column writing

Rob Davis

Assistant A&C Editor A column is a place for writers to throw aside the veil of journalism and discuss their opinions on various subjects. One of the things I like to do is play devil’s advocate. I like to look at different sides of the issue and, admittedly, pester people by making a counter-argument. So back to column writing. Why do I feel so uncomfortable sharing my opinion with 23,000 plus readers? Well for one, that number is daunting. Not only is the paper available to every student via newspaper stands around campus, but alumni, parents and anyone else who is interested can access the Beacon online. So, essentially, everyone in the world can read what I think on a campus, local, state or national issue. This is, obviously, a hyperbole but is the thought that goes through my mind when I think about sharing my views. In my mind, column writing is the journalism equivalent of

public speaking. One of my only shortcomings is that I am absolutely horrified of public speaking. Terrified as in freeze up, sweat and want to curl up into a ball. Even in front of a large group of friends, I am still terrified of speaking. The association of the two is definitely a mental road block that I have yet to overcome. Another reason goes back to my personality type. As an ESFJ, I am a people person and genuinely care what people think about me. If I write a column about something I feel strongly about, but is not a very popular standpoint, I will have many readers who disagree with me. I don’t like the idea of upsetting a majority of my peers. Those emails of displeasure and disagreement haunt my dreams. Time constraint is also a big factor. If I write a column, I want to be fully informed on an issue. By taking 16 hours of classes, searching for a job and working at the Beacon, researching and forming an opinion on a certain topic takes me a while. I feel like when I do have an opinion that I am comfortable with, the topic is irrelevant. I see the absurdity in being afraid to voice my opinion as a college student. In college, many classes make class participation mandatory. In fact, it is part of the learning process. Usually, this entails sharing your thoughts about the reading or topic with

your classmates. Thankfully, journalism classes are small and if we do have participation, it’s based off of Blackboard forums. My last gripe on column writing is the word count. Have you ever felt like you could write a million words about something you felt passionately about? Me too. But when it actually comes down to putting those words on paper, a 600 word requirement seems incredibly daunting. Especially when you get about 300 words in and then realize you have so much more to write. It feels like you are rock climbing and are exhausted after getting halfway up the face. If you turn back, you just feel unaccomplished, but you are exhausted and don’t really want to go on. In all reality, 600 words isn’t that much. Being conditioned to a normal article length spoils how much you can write. So, it’s not that I want to withhold my opinion from you. It’s that I care so much about what you think about me that I can’t stand the thought of you rejecting what I think. — Rob Davis is a senior in journalism and electronic media.

ing that of God and our own. The choir and orchestra begin working in July and a recording is sent out each year. The different practices are staggered. Choreography starts in September, the speaking cast begins in August and the main drama cast begins in late October. The baby Jesus isn’t selected until the very last minute, and is usually around one to three months old. The show runs 90 minutes long with no intermission. Even though the church has been running this enactment since 1989, that doesn’t mean that it’s gotten boring. They mix things up each year, changing the opening scene, modern story and even the enormous Christmas tree. Sevier Baptist has grown out of its former location in South Knoxville and has performed at the Tennessee Theatre, but because of its short closing, the church was forced to move again. This time the concert landed at Thompson-Boling. Over the past five years, the “Living Christmas Tree” has seen over 150,000 attendees. Its success is realistic because of the memorable moments that capture audiences. “One year we flew Santa in a sleigh from across the arena,” Smith said. Smith revealed that one of his favorite moments is seeing children’s faces light up when the camels enter during the manger scene. “Of course it looks like the national championship when everyone takes out their phones,” Smith said. Although Smith wouldn’t divulge any past bloopers, he did share that the animals are from Circle G Ranch, where they house an animal safari. The church balances managing a crew the size of an average film crew all with only two days to consolidate the dynamics of production at the arena. “I heard about it through a friend and am looking forward to seeing all of the exotic animals,” said Kewana Phennessee, senior in sociology. The event is one of the few that students can attend for free this year. Parking and tickets are available at no cost. Smith observes that the “Living Christmas Tree” provides stressed students, who are dealing with unique struggles, a way they can find themselves in the story of God. Performances of the 24th annual “Living Christmas Tree” start Dec. 8 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., and continue through Dec. 10.

Experiences help shape campus security Emily DeLanzo Managing Editor

Towering in below 5-foot, 4-inches and weighing less than your average cow, I don’t have the most terrifying presence. My parents raised my sisters and myself in Cocke County, which according to an article from the LA Times from 2006 is “A county of bad ol’ boys.” As much as I would like to think I can chew tobacco and shoot Bambi with the best of them, I escaped Cocke County with little to no knowledge of picking locks and an invisible criminal record. When I was deciding on when and where to go to continue my education, safety was never really a factor. I knew that growing up in Cocke County and driving down Fruit Jar Alley had prepared me for whatever possible scenarios I faced in college. Orientation taught me the finer points of campus safety. Any doubts I had about scurrying home from nights at the library vanished when I noticed my path was dotted with blue lights galore. I traveled in groups to and from the late night study sessions and always kept alert. I was never once too scared to wander from place to place on campus at night. Granted, as a freshman, I hadn’t yet discovered the Fort. When my sophomore and junior years rolled around, I lived life more on the edge. I walked back from the Beacon newsroom at midnight some nights and drunkenly stumbled through the Fort without a care in the world. Then something happened to my friend. He was walking home late at night from the library, and someone assaulted him. All for what? Some cash. His phone. His debit card. My friend walked away unharmed with less money, but more importantly his attacker took away my friend’s false feeling of safety. College-age students are notorious for embracing an invincible Clark Kent lifestyle

where kryptonite lies in the form of excess. Excessive drinking, excessive drug abuse, excessive sleep deprivation. My fears were only realized as I became one of the Beacon’s crime log compilers last spring. Once or twice a week, I would march down to the UTPD’s office and flip through a binder of closed cases and incident reports. After learning to appreciate the finer points of campus safety and realizing there is no way that I can ever fully stay informed or protected, I changed my behavior. Instead of wandering from place to place alone, I found friends. If I drank too much? The T-link helps save me from making even worse decisions. I no longer view myself as invincible. I realize there are worse fates than a drunk man in Cocke County. Be smart. Be safe. Appreciate the text alerts you receive on campus and utilize your resources on campus.

Students must resist feeling of entitlement Chaos Theory by

Sarah Russell On Tuesday, I walked into one of my classes and noticed my teacher’s Powerpoint presentation that had been pulled up for lecture that day. The outline for the lecture was spelled out on the first slide — recap, topics for discussion and exam review. But what really caught my eye were the words scrawled across the slide in bolded word art: “Beware Complacency.” Despite the class’s initial laughter, my teacher’s warning served as a much needed reminder at the end of November. I am not alone in my propensity to fall victim to the lures of the upcoming winter break, to put on obsessive amounts of Christmas music, and to defer studying in favor of baking hundreds of cookies. It is far easier to get sucked into hours of television and Facebook stalking in the last weeks before exams than almost any other time of the year. The end is in sight, so it is hard to see the point of doing homework that will not be tested until the upcoming final exam anyway. We are burned out, exhausted from the semester, and seeking respite in every way we know how. Those last few readings and quizzes become far less important than resting before the stressful onslaught of final exams. It is certainly true that some classes will have fairly little work to do during the weeks before finals, and it is also true that many of the assignments due in the last two weeks are not critical to the overall course grade. Most likely, some students will be able to take a break from schoolwork during this time with little or no penalty to their grade.

The warning of “Beware Complacency,” however, is not intended to merely warn against the dangers of avoiding schoolwork in the last weeks before finals. It is addressing a much bigger issue, one that is directly related to the attitudes of many students at the end of the semester. It is an attitude of entitlement, not one of exhaustion; it suggests that because we have worked hard all semester and not failed our classes, we deserve to take a break just a little bit earlier than the teachers expect us to. It is one that disregards final assignments in favor of personal comfort, indicating to the teacher and to our classmates that we are not subject to the assignments dictated by the syllabus and that the commitment we made to the class has been put on the back burner because we want our winter break to come just a little bit sooner. It is unfortunate in a time when many students cannot afford college that we take our education for granted in such a way. I do not mean to imply that accidentally forgetting an assignment or struggling with a concept indicates a lack of respect for our education. I am addressing the entitled idea that we have the right to decide when our semester ends, to not fulfill the requirements laid out at the beginning of the semester, and to blow off classes we deem unworthy of our attention. It is important to remember that when we entered the University of Tennessee, we made a commitment to the school, to our teachers, and to ourselves to do what was asked of us in return for a quality education. We should not fall victim to a false sense of complacency that says we can shirk our duties because the end is in sight. Instead, we should forge ahead, because we owe it to our school and ourselves, and because the reward of winter break is far sweeter when it is well deserved. — Sarah Russell is a senior in history.

The lack of controversy surrounding the drone-initiated murder of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son is indicative of how silent the vast majority of Americans are on an expanding assassination program. This is a government that will assassinate U.S. citizens without trial. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll revealed that 70 percent approve of the continued operation of Guantanamo Bay and that 58 percent of those describing themselves as Democrats don’t disapprove of drone strikes — even when the target is an American citizen. Sure, after another 10 years of war we like drones and drone surveillance as opposed to big messy ground operations. People know the difference between placing robots as opposed to Americans in harm’s way, and understandably perceive it as a good thing. There’s been a consistent 30 year tradition of branding Democratic presidents as weak on national security. That certainly is over. Over the past four years, Obama, who had campaigned bitterly against the war in Iraq, has shown us he has no intention of winding down military enthusiasm in policy or rhetoric. While apprehending Osama, our former ally against the Soviets in the Afghani conflict over who gets Afghanistan’s lithium, was a huge symbolic victory, there is nothing merely symbolic about expanding drone oppression in the Middle East. Americans in general tend to give their president the benefit of the doubt when it comes to foreign policy and national security until it starts getting out of hand, like with the Vietnam and Iraq wars. Usually this is because of a compounding combination of them lasting too long, losing a distinctive purpose, costing too much, or killing too many American troops. Democrats especially want to believe

in the efficacy and integrity of government, especially when the figurehead is a charismatic Democratic president — until inevitably being disappointed in new and exciting ways. And all of these things contribute to a lack of skepticism about this terrifying expansion of executive power – especially the novelty of having a Democratic president who waxes poetic about the middle class and unapologetically assassinates anonymous “terror suspects” by raining equally anonymous death upon them. But this completely deniable form of techno terrorism — immune from international criticism or even air zone laws — is being increasingly scrutinized. You’ve heard of Doctors Without Borders, and drones are missiles without borders. Although their distance and novelty prevents the kind of immediate controversy that domestic issues provoke, domestic scrutiny is increasing. The biggest problem with drones and targeted killings is that not only has the administration not released any information about them, but Congress has really dropped the ball on its balance and oversight responsibilities regarding the hilarious lack of transparency in these operations. There’s this silent memo that to question the executive’s right to use such force is to question America’s right to unbalanced power. Drones now are like where we were in 1946-47 with our nuclear programs. We’re on the verge of a new world paradigm in which nobody in the government or otherwise has any idea what the consequences or implications are. Absolutely nobody has answers for not only how this technology ought to be used, but who, and how, do we give the authority to regulate and provide the kind of control and oversight that a technology like this needs to keep from being abused. Drones don’t have the immediate implication of a hydrogen bomb, and indeed only America has them. This means we should be even more on guard for their creeping encroachment on our human rights, as they already impugn the rights of humans whose terror is too far away to witness. — Wiley Robinson is a senior in ecology and evolutionary biology.

The event will pay tribute to Native American veterans and focus on their involvement in the American military in the past and present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heritage night that is focused on veterans and how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re contributing to the military forces, which are really important to everyone in the country,â&#x20AC;?

The Native American Student Association will host a heritage Richard Allen of the Cherokee Nation will be speaking at the event event in the UC Auditorium on Friday, Nov. 30. about the role of Native Americans in

Blanchard said she hopes that students will learn more about the Native American culture and how they are contributing to the armed forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want guests to have a better understanding of Native Americans and all we have to offer. Many people just think we are all the same when, in fact, there are hundreds of tribes across America with different traditions, languages and beliefs,â&#x20AC;? Donner said.

Lady Vols take on North Carolina Young Lady Vols still adapting to new style

Lauren Kittrell

Sports Editor

The Lady Vols remain undefeated this season at ThompsonBoling Arena, but they have yet to face the test of time. At this point in the season, there’s just no telling where the young team will go next. The Lady Vols (5-1, 3-0 at home) have their fourth home game on Sunday at 1:00 p.m., but their opponent may put up more of a fight than they’re ready for. The North Carolina Tar Heels are 9-0 as they head to Knoxville. Head coach Holly Warlick said she hopes the team’s recent 88-81 overtime win over MTSU will help the team as they prepare for some of their toughest competition so far. “We will go back and watch the tape. Anytime your back is up against the wall you have to battle, you’ll find kids who will want to fight. I love it,” Warlick said. “Regardless of our shots falling or not falling, I keep saying this, but we have high energy, and we compete. When we do those things great things happen for this basketball team. That is what we need to continue to do. We have great athletes but we have to put it all together and we have to make sure we compete on every possession.” Warlick said one recent key to the Lady Vols’ success has been senior guard Kamiko Williams. She said Williams has been a more consistent defender during practice and, therefore, in games. “I think you are seeing a result of how hard she is working in practice. Having her take practice seriously, getting in better shape, she is now in better condition I think,” Warlick

Senior guard Kamiko Williams looks for an opening during the MTSU game on Nov. 28. said. “Last year towards the end of the stretch I do not think she would have hung in there and played the defense she would have gotten tired, but now she is getting in better shape and understanding that we do need her as a vital and important part of this basketball team.” She said finding a balance with Williams has been the difference. “Jolette (Law) and Kyra (Elzy) have done a great job with her as far as mentoring her and getting her on track and focused through practice. I think she has done just that,” Warlick said. Williams said she has seen

the impact of Law and Elzy’s example on her performance, but also her teammate’s drive. She said she feels their motivation and they keep her energized. “When my teammates tell me they need me, I’m just going to go out and do it for them,” Williams said. Junior guard Meighan Simmons said she has more confidence in Williams than Williams has in herself. She said Williams’ “Energizer Bunny” energy on the court spurs on the rest of her team. “We all know what Kamiko can do, sometimes I thinks Kamiko forgets what kind of player she is,” Simmons said.

“Some of these things she can do, offensively or defensively, she is an amazing team player.” With Williams playing her best, the team hopes their chemistry and drive will be enough to bring home the “W” on Sunday. Sophomore point guard Ariel Massengale said Warlick challenged the team not to back down. “No team is just going to give us a ‘W.’ We have to go out there and take it,” Massengale said. “Through our practices, everything we do is for this moment right here. It’s just a matter of going out and making the preseason and work worth it.”

Jarnell Stokes jumps inside the paint for a layup against Oakland defenders on Nov. 26.

Nov. 28, 2008 in Orlando, Fla. Vols 90-78

Why the Vols will win: After trouncing Oakland 77-50, the Vols are feeling pretty good. Head coach Cuonzo Martin said he thinks the team has plenty of talent to come out with a win over Georgetown. With help from sophomore forward Jarnell Stokes and junior guard Trae Golden, the Vols are at the top of their game both offensively and defensively. Another advantage is the teams’ down time in-between games. They tend to thrive most when they have a little time to recoup. With nearly four days of practice, the Vols will be headed to D.C. ready to prove to themselves, their fans and, of course, the Hoyas.

Why the Vols will win: With a .504 winning percentage and being one of the top 20 scoring teams in the nation, Georgetown is a definite favorite going into the night. While their record of 4-1 is the same as the Vols, the Hoyas have faced much stronger competition. The only blight to their record came from an overtime loss to No. 1 Indiana, who is currently undefeated. More in their favor is Tennessee’s senior forward Jeronne Maymon who has been sidelined with a knee injury all season.
