For
a third
consecutive
year, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon
has finished atop the
standings of the Ace
Miller Memorial Boxing
Tournament.
But this time no other fraternity
is joining i there.
After tying for first place
in the overa l competitions of
2011 and 2012, the tournament
hosts used a Saturday
night comeback to win the
team trophy in the 33rd rendition
of the inter-fraternity
fights this weekend at the
Knoxvi le Expo Center.
Bener Oguz captured the
lightweight belt and was
among four SAE’s to win one
of the tournament’s 11 weight
classes.
The senior finance major
became the first from his fraternity
since 2006 to earn
a spot in the event’s Ha l of
Fame. To earn the honor he
had to outlast Wi l Morton
of Lambda Chi Alpha, which
entered Saturday two points
ahead of SAE.
For
O g u z ,
who started
boxing his
senior year in high
school, his championship
bout held the double
weight of personal achievement
and helping his team
earn an outrigh title.
“It feels good, man,” Oguz
said. “It’s been a lot of hard
work and I guess it just paid
o f. It’s a fun sport and I like
doing it. So I mean it was
easy because I love it.”
Receiving the delegation
as a Ha l of Fame honoree
requires winning three individual
titles over two weight
classes — a di ficult task considering
most fighters only
have four years to compete.
After securing the featherweight
belts in 2011 and
2012,
O g u z
bumped up
a class in 2013.
He said his
Saturday victory
probably signified the
end of his boxing career,
unless he stays in school for
a fifth year.
“To te l you the truth,
it rea ly helps me with my
grades,” Oguz said of the tournament,
which most boxers
train months in advance for.
“During
b o x i n g
season I don’t
go out as much
and I just kind of
train, work and do classwork,
and don’t rea ly have
time for drinking.
“So it rea ly helps, helps me
do we l in school. And it helps
me be a better person.”
One boxer who did come
back for a fifth year of school
was Phi Sigma Kappa’s Buck
Sheesley,
a senior in
accounting.
His victory in
the middleweight
division was his fourth
career belt.
Sheesly earned his Ha l of
Fame berth in 2012, but with
this year’s title he became one
of three four-time champions
since the tournament’s inception
in 1980.
“Man, it rea ly means a lot,”
Sheesly said just moments
after he was crowned 2013’s
Best Boxer. “One of three
people in 33 years, that rea ly
means a lot. I have had so
much suppor throughou this
whole thing from friends, family,
brothers, everything. It’s
been incredible.”
After
bumping
up a weight
class from his
2010 and 2011
junior middleweight
titles, this year was hi second
as middleweight champion.
“I keep te ling my guys,
there are two parts that are
the best about this whole
tournament,” Sheesly said.
“One is eating after weigh-ins,
and the second is getting your
hand raised in that ring after
you’ve gone to war.”
The Ace Mi ler Memorial
Boxing tournament was formerly
known as the SAE
Boxing Tournament, but after
legendary Knoxvi le boxing
trainer Ace Mi ler passed
away in March, the men of
SAE chose to rename the
tournament in Mi ler’s honor.
Prior to the first fight on
each of the tournament’s
three nights, o ficials ceremonia
ly rang the be l to honor
Mi ler, who was critical in the
formation of th event.

UT Trustees meet, approve bonuses
David Cobb
Assistant News Editor
The fu l Board of Trustees
met on Friday and discussed
a variety of matters including
appointing a new chancellor
for UT Chattanooga, changing
the names of several UT
Knoxvi le’s buildings and
approving potential bonuses
for six UT executive officers.
The Board approved the
finalized version of their
“Performance and Retention
Plan,” which is designed to
motivate and reward several
UT executive officers
for completing a specific
set of goals. Two of the six
officers include Chance lor
Jimmy Cheek and UT System
President Joe DiPietro.
Should the officers accomplish
their goals, they wi l be
granted a bonus that could
be up to but no more than 15
percent of their base salary.
Cheek, whose base annual
salary as of July 1, 2012,
was $394,956, could receive
a bonus of up to $59,243.
DiPietro’s base annual
salary as of July 1, 2012,
was $445,567.50, leading to
a potential bonus of up to
$66,835.13.
One of the goals for
DiPietro is demonstrating
improvement in employee
satisfaction on the Employee
Engagement Survey in order
to recruit and retain a diverse
group of employees. Another
goal is to bring the faculty
and staff salaries closer to the
median of their peer group.

Organization offers
tips for scholastic
advancement
With Spring Break just
around the corner, many UT
students are planning trips a l
over the country instead of
focusing in the classroom.
This week, the Office of
National Scholarships and
Fellowships (ONSF) is offering
information sessions, a faculty
panel and a presentation
about a more formative trip
that goes far beyond spring
break’s beaches and actua ly
extends the classroom: the
Fulbright Scholarship.
The nationa ly competitive
scholarship receives between
10,000 and 12,000 applicants
each year, each hoping to earn
10 months o financial support
to study abroad after graduating
co lege. The 25 percent
of applicants who receive the
prestigious scholarships go on
to complete personal research
projects or teach English as a
second language in countries
a l over the world.
“The main emphasis of the
Fulbright is cultural exchange,”
Michael Handelsman, director
of the ONSF, said. “A l
Fulbrighters are basica ly
ambassadors for the United
States. They’re committed to
learning about the host culture,
and in that process, are
sharing their own cultural traditions
and values.”
Five members of the UT
community earned Fulbright
Scholarships in 2011-2012,
leaving for the likes of Mexico
City and Paris. Handelsman
hopes that “Fulbright Week at
UT” sparks more of the same
success.
Today, from 5:30 to 6:30
p.m. in Baker Center Room
118, and Tuesday, from 12:30
to 1 p.m. in the Baker Center’s
Toyota Auditorium, information
sessions wi l be offered to
a l students and faculty interested
in applying.
Nichole Fazio-Veigel, the
ONSF assistant director, said
that the sessions wi l provide
both a general overview and
some specific tips. The session
wi l also offer guidance
on negotiating the program’s
“hefty” website.
Dr. Handelsman, a 6-time
Fulbright scholar himself,
has plenty of history with
the Fulbright program. After
spending time in Brazil and
Ecuador as both a student and
a faculty member, Handelsman
called the rich experience
“transformative.”
“The opportunity to be
engaged in another culture,
not as just an observer but
as one who can become part
of a community … the whole
relationships shifts from thinking
about that other culture to
thinking with them,” he said.
“Something has happened to
you that you’re going to think
a bit differently, your priorities
change a little bit. … That’s
why people go, you’re not
doing tourism.”

TVC hosts first live SGA debate
The Volunteer Channel,
UT’ studen television station,
wi l host UT’s first ever live
SGA debate Tuesday at 8 p.m.
in the Baker Center’s Toyota
Auditorium, broadcasting on
campus cable channel 12.
The debate wi l feature discussion
between a l three SGA
parties: Amplify, Engage and
Baker-Atchley. Each president,
vice president and student services
director candidate wi l
have the chance to converse
with the other contenders in
the category. The format also
a lows for students and UT
media outlets to ask questions
of the nominees concerning
issues the student body cares
about.
Kelsey Keny, producer of
TVC News, is one of the people
who co laborated to make the
event possible. Her enthusiasm
for the event and what it stands
for has been a driving force in
the debate coming together.
“I am so excited,” Keny, a
sophomore in journalism and
electronic media, said. “TVC
has done televised debates
in the past, but they didn’t
rea ly reach that many people.
It wasn’t benefitting anyone
because no one was rea ly getting
to interact with the candidates
and hear what they have
to say.”
The event wi l stream live
at www.utdailybeacon.com as
we l as on the TVC website,
where it wi l also be posted
afterward for students to
watch. One of their goals is for
students to be as informed as
possible when going in to vote
on Wednesday.
“When we were developing
the format and the questions,
we asked ourselves, ‘If I were a
student who didn’t know anything
about SGA or campaigns,
what would help me make that
decision? What would I need
to see or hear?’” Keny said.
“We would want to hear what
they stand for and o fer to the
student body as we l as check
their credibility to see if they
can fo low through with their
promises.”
Lindsay Lee, the presidential
candidate from Amplify, hopes
the debate wi l educate students
and encourage them to
care about issues that SGA can
help with.
“There is a crisis of apathy
when it comes to SGA, demonstrated
by the extremely low
voter turnouts in the past,”
Lee, a junior in mathematics,
said. “Only about 10 percent of
students voted in the campaign
last year, and that was the highest
it had been in a while. This
event wi l definitely help take
SGA out of the Shiloh Room
of the UC and actua ly into the
lives of the students it is supposed
to serve.”

Distinguised dean retires after
generation of service at UT
When Jan Wi liams came to
UT as a professor, the Soviet
Union had 14 years of life
remaining and Elvis Presley
wa sti l kicking.
Closer to home, Johnny
Majors was in his first year
as UT’s football coach and
the NCAA didn’t recognize
women’s basketba l as a sport
– although a driven 25-yearold
named Pat Summitt was
helping change that.
Wi liams had no intention
of staying on Rocky Top for
a whole generation, or even a
decade for that matter.
“I would’ve guessed that
when I came here I’d probably
be here five, six or seven
years,” he said.
But 36 years later – with the
Iron Curtain long gone and
Elvis living only in memories
and jukeboxes – Wi liams is
sti l hanging around the UT
campus.
Before retiring at the end
of February, he served as the
dean of UT’s nationa ly heralded
Co lege of Business
Administration.
His promotion to that position
fo lowed his service in a
handful of other roles as he
vastly exceeded the prediction
he made in 1977 of how long
he would remain a Vol.
“It’s just been a rea ly good
fit for me and I don’t know
that I could point a finger at
exactly why,” Wi liams said
as he reclined at the desk in
his new o fice in the Stokely
Management Center.
“I just felt like in 1977
when I was considering coming
here, that it was just a
rea ly high potential school,”
he said. “The business school,
I thought, had a lot of potential
and it was an opportunity to be
a part of building that.”
For the last 13 years, the
Nashvi le native has directed
the business school, building
it both litera ly – through
overseeing the construction
of Haslam Business Building
– and philosophica ly through
the implementation of programs
like Global Leadership
Scholars.
As a result the co lege has
garnered national attention,
ranking 27th in the country
among public universities
according to a 2013 U.S. News
& World Report release.
On his watch, several individual
programs within the
co lege have attained top 10
national and international
placements by various publications.
For Wi liams, though, rankings
and recognition have not
been his motivation.
“I’m pretty convinced if we
do the right thing, build the
right curriculum, get good students,
have good faculty, build
good facilities - and business
school technology is huge - if
we have a l these things in
place, the rankings wi l pretty
much fa l,” Wi liams said.
“There’s not a whole lot we can
do other than simply do our
jobs we l to make the rankings
get better and better.”
After a nationwide search
for his replacement, UT leaders
decided on Steve Mangum
to replace Wi liams.
The two had lunch together
recently, in what Wi liams said
was the first real conversation
they’ve had since Mangum’s
arrival from Ohio State.
“What are some of the things
you wished you’d gotten done
that you just didn’t have time
for, or for whatever reason?”
Mangum asked Wi liams.
“I don’t feel bad about not
getting everything done that
you could,” Wi liams told him.
“There’s just a lo to do - it’s a
big school.”
One of his most most valuable
contributions can be seen
in his efforts to provide a
sense of community within the
co lege, which houses about
7,500 UT students within its
undergraduate and graduate
programs.
The creation of GLS, a program
designed to give highperforming
business students
an international perspective
within a tight UT community,
and Venture, a chance for “at
risk” freshmen to adapt to
co lege life and grow together,
were both overseen by
Wi liams and continue to be
successful.

Skydiving
offers
thrills,
changed
opinions
Brooke Turner
Staff Writer
Just four months after
extreme athlete Felix
Baumgartner jumped from the
edge of space in the world’s
highest skydive, many UT students
have tried their own
hand at the art of skydiving.
Matt Park, a former UT student,
has taken part in more
than 1,100.
Park, who left school before
graduating with a degree in
computer science to accept
a job with Celeris Networks
Consulting Group, made his
first jump on July 11, 2009.
He was hooked and said he
has since completed a few
hundred per year. Last year
alone he made 500 ascensions
and jumps.
The secret to his success,
Park said, comes from the
job he accepted at Celeris
Networks. It was a job, he
said, that he simply could not
deny.
“This actua ly involves my
computer job, believe it or
not,” he said. “The reason I
got an offer I couldn’t refuse
was because the guy that owns
the company I work for now is
actua ly a skydiver. I met him
through skydiving, and that’s
how I kind of obtained my
current job. In my contract
I’ve earned with the company,
I work Monday through
Thursday and then I sky dive
Friday through Sunday.”
Park, now a skydiving
instructor, said he wasn’t
always as keen on skydiving
as he is now, claiming that his
love for it has evolved through
the few years he has been
doing it.
The Daily Beacon story
“Hollywood screenwriter
talks basics, archetypes” from
Monday, March 4, featured an
incorrect reference to author
Joseph Campbe l, instead
referring to him as James
Campbe l. Also, the photo pictured
with the story was Scott

screenwriter.
‘Stand for Freedom’ raises awareness
Starting today, UT’s chapter
of International Justice Mission
(IJM) wi l take a stand for the
27 mi lion people around the
world held captive in modernday
slavery.
IJM is an internationa ly
reaching human rights agency
and is headquartered in
Washington, D.C. Founded in
1997, it works to rescue victims
of violent oppression and
bring the law to bear on the
perpetrators of those crimes.
UT students involved with
IJM wi l be participating in
the organization’s nationwide
“Stand for Freedom” by standing
for 27 hours on Pedestrian
Walkway to raise awareness
of the pervasive modern slave
trade.
“The Stand for Freedom is to
stand for those who can’t stand
for themselves,” said Benjamin
Wing, senior in materials science
and engineering, and fundraising
chair for UT’s chapter
of IJM. “We hope to give a
voice to people who otherwise
don’t have a voice.”
Though the ultimate goal of
the event is wide in scope, the
goals of UT’s participants are
much more specific.
“The first step with any
change is awareness, and that’s
the main issue,” Wing said.
“We also hope to raise $2,700,
get at least 270 people participating
in this event, and
sign 1,000 signatures for a petition.”
The event began yesterday
with a promotional day, during
which IJM members were stationed
in the University Center
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to
hand out flyers and sign volunteers
up for the event.
Today, the Stand o ficia ly
kicks off as volunteers converge
on Pedestrian Walkway
in shifts from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30
p.m.
“Primarily, we’re going to
have a bunch of people standing
with signs that say ‘I stand
for freedom’ just to bring
awareness,” Wing said. “We’ l
also have, over to the side, a
place for donations. We’ l have
laptops set up so if people want
to donate and help us raise the
money, then they can help us
do that.”
The members of UT’s chapter
of IJM have a passion for
putting an end to modern slavery
and look forward to sharing
that with other students on
campus during this event.
“I hope tha this event raises
awareness and plants some
seeds of passion in people,”
Olivia Gross, freshman in
social work, said. “Most people
don’t understand how vast the
problem of human tra ficking
is, and some don’t know that it
sti l exists.”
IJM is not alone in its e fort
to raise awareness on campus.
Volunteers from several other
organizations wi l be joining
the ranks as we l.
MBA program receives Top 25 ranking
UT’s Master of Business
Administration’s entrepreneurship
specialty is among
the world’s top programs
in that field, according to a
recently released ranking from
Bloomberg Businessweek.
Of the eighty-two schools
included in the entrepreneurship
specialty ranking, UT’s
program ranked fifty-fourth
globa ly and seventeenth
among U.S. public universities.
“This ranking reinforces the
incredible focus that our entrepreneurship
faculty place on
student development and each
one’s wi lingness to support
MBA students in achieving
their personal and professional
career aspirations,” said Amy
Cathey, executive director of
UT’s MBA program. “The
MBA program now has Top
25 recognition for curriculum
delivery in the areas of entrepreneurship,
business analytics,
and supply chain, which
helps us attract, develop, and
place a wide variety of outstanding
students.”
Bloomberg Businessweek
asked MBA students graduating
between July 1, 2011,
and June 30, 2012, abou their
business school experience,
from admission into the program
to securing a job. One
section of the survey singled
out specific aspects of the
business program, including
the entrepreneurship specialty.
The feedback resulted in
the rankings. For a complete
listing, visit the Bloomberg
Businessweek website.
UT’s program is unique in
that it offers a required entrepreneurship
and innovation
course, Innovation in Practice,
for a l first-year MBA students.
The course focuses exclusively
on nonprofit organizations.
Since the course’s inception
in 2004, a total of 320 students
and twelve faculty members
have devoted more than
25,300 hours helping more
than sixty-five Tennesseebased
nonprofit organizations
with their organizational challenges.
This spring, seventytwo
students wi l work with
sixteen organizations as they
also improve their criticalthinking
ski ls.
UT’s MBA program also
offers second-year students
interested in entrepreneurship
the opportunity to create new
business ventures. For example,
in the Entrepreneurial
Strategy Implementation
course, students help entrepreneurial-minded
for-profit
organizations answer strategic
questions. Since 2005,
118 MBA students and faculty
members have devoted close
to 15,000 hours working with
thirty-four Tennessee enterprises.
The MBA program’s
entrepreneurship and innovation
activities are supported
by the Anderson
Center for Entrepreneurship
and Innovation and the
Department of Management,
both housed in the UT Co lege
of Business Administration.

Students perform in singing competition
Singing and dancing wi l take place
center stage, as the 2013 A l-Sing competition
begins tonight.
A l-Sing, as the name implies, is a singing
competition between di ferent groups
of students. Nine groups wi l sing songs
in the styles of classic musicals, Broadway
love songs, music from the 1990s and
television theme songs.
The A l-Sing competition is coordinated
by A l Campus Events and is also
a part of the ACE Cup Competition.
Homecoming, Canricus and Vol Cha lenge
are also part of the competition.
The show starts tonight and Friday at 7
p.m. in the Cox Auditorium of the Alumni
Memorial Building.
Tickets are on sale now at $10 for UT
students with their student ID, $13 for
faculty and sta f, and $15 for the general
public. They can be purchased through
http://knoxvi letickets.com.
Erin Dyer is the director-chair for A l-
Sing. The senior human resource management
major has been a part of A l-Sing for
her entire co lege career.
“My freshmen and sophomore year I
actua ly participated with A l-Sing,” Dyer
said. “My junior year I joined ACE so I
was backstage for most of it. And then
this year, I got elected to be the directorchair
of A l-Sing.”
She added, “So I’ve been a part of
A l-Sing for a l four years in pretty much
every way possible.”
A l-Sing traces its roots back to 1932
when it was known as the A l-University
Sing. Its original purpose was to introduce
students to school songs, such as the
alma mater. The name was shortened in
the 1940s.
The theme for this year’s A l-Sing is
“Let’s Face the Music,” which is a tribute
to Irving Berlin’s 1936 song, “Let’s Face
the Music and Dance.” Dyer said that she
picked the theme to connect A l-Sing to
its roots as part of Volunteer lore.
“I kind of wanted to bring back that old
school tradition,” Dyer said. “So I took
a song from the 1930s that’s been used
throughout the years by Nat King Cole,
E la Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and most
recently Michael Bublé. I thought it was
cool that it’s a song that worked in the
1930s and it’ sti l relevan today.
“I wanted to use it as a way to tie in A l-
Sing to the tradition and the history of it.”
The competition is scored on several
di ferent aspects.
“They are judged off of vocal performance
and clarity as we l as overa l
presentation,” Dyer explained. “In overa
l presentation, groups aren’t required
to do choreography … but every group
does tend to do some choreography just
because it gives that extra e fect.”
A panel of judges decides the winners
of the competition. The judges consist of
faculty, sta f, students and members of the
community, including professors from the
music department, RAs, faculty from the
Multicultural Center and music instructors
from local high schools.

The Student Government
Association wi l be holding
an interest meeting for those
wanting to join the organization.
Students with a passion
for UT and the desire to
get involved on campus are
encouraged to attend the
meeting, which wi l discuss
SGA elections today at 8 p.m.
in the UC’s Shiloh Room.
Election week does not start
until th early April, but hopefuls
for a position within UT’s
student senate, and those planning
to run for president, vice
president or student services
director, are required to attend
the meeting where the formal
information for earning a spot
on the ba lot wi l be discussed.
“In years past there might
have been a misconception
that it’s only open to people
that have already been contacted
or are officia ly running
with a political party,”
explained SGA election commissioner
Wi l Logan. “But
rea ly, it’s an avenue for us to
spread as much information
as we can about how to get
involved in SGA.”
Students unsure about running
for office or one of the
70-plus senate seats are welcome
to attend the meeting
and learn more about being
a part of the election season
or other avenues for campus
involvement.
“A lot of the individuals that
are going to run for positions
are going to be present at this
meeting,” Logan said. “So for
someone who wants to get
involved in SGA but might
not feel comfortable running
for a senate seat or in another
capacity, these are good people
to ge to know and work with.”
At the meeting, Logan and
other members of the election
commission wi l cover a
42-pag election packet outlining
the rules and requirements
of running in the election.
A primary use of the meeting
wi l be for students to ask
questions so that the election
commission can begin clearing
up any possible issues and
remain focused on another
goal the commission has for
the 2013 SGA elections –
voter turnout.
“As an election commission,
that’s something we’ve rea ly
put on ourselves: to rea ly
make clear this year how big
of an impact voting makes,”
Logan said.
The year 2012 saw the Fuel
campaign sweep the top three
positions in SGA, with the
Revolt ticket not far behind.
A mixture of candidates from
both campaigns has comprised
the student senate in the 2012-
13 year.
The competition of campaign
season is something
Logan views as crucial.
“I’m a huge fan of it,” Logan
said. “I think competition is
a terrific thing, especia ly in

interested to see how many
individuals come out and
decide to run.”
Interest meeting on SGA
elections to be held

The Torchbearer has lit the way for students
for several decades at UT. Shining brightly
through rain showers and final exams, many
see the Torchbearer as a symbol of big orange
pride.
With its ongoing fire, however, some students
are beginning to question its environmental
impact.
Franco Sebastián D’Aprile, a freshman in
sustainability, sees the Torchbearer as a “symbol
of unity to students.” D’Aprile also sees the
Torchbearer as a large source of po lution and
energy consumption on campus.
“It represents the face of the university to the
outside world, which is why we should strive to
make it sustainable,” D’Aprile said.
Fueling the never-ending flame comes with
drawbacks. The university paid $6,600 in 2011
for natural gas to keep the fire burning bright.
In addition to its costly upkeep, the emissions
produced by the burning natural gas have raised
alarm for several students.
“The Torchbearer produces a staggering
amount of emissions every year, roughly 30.8
metric tons per year,” said D’Aprile. “The harm
the torch causes to the environment wi l not
help UT reach its ‘green’ goals.”
Most students see that, regardless of the
emissions of the Torchbearer, the light deserves
to burn on.
Terry Nowe l, a senior in biochemistry and
psychology and SGA vice president, feels the
Torchbeare represents more than just an ongoing
flame. To him, the Torchbearer’s purpose
is “to bring new students in and to continue
lighting the fire for students that are here.”
Some students share fond memories around
the Torchbearer. One of Nowe l’s most profound
memories involves serving as an Orientation
Leader and bonding with new UT students
around the statue. Despite the valuable tradition,
however, Nowe l recognizes a need to
change the torch’s energy source.
A few members of the campus community
have started proposing solutions that revolve
around artificial lighting or alternative fuel
sources.
“Some solutions include taking ou the flame
completely and replacing it with an artificial
flame composed of LED lights. We could also
plan projects that would o fset its environmental
footprint (planting trees, insta ling solar
panels, insta ling wind turbines, reducing the
waste of the university by increasing recycling),”
said D’Aprile. “Also, the university
could buy carbon credits to o fset the emissions.
Another good option is replacing natural
gas with recycled methane
from the water treatment plant by UT. This idea
would need further consultation with the plant
to evaluate its viability.”
Within UT’s goal of becoming a Top 25 university,
sustainability is as large of a priority as
tradition.

SYSTEM ERROR
For Amplify, Engage and Baker/
Atchley, the ro ler coaster that is the
SGA elections wi l continue for one
more day.
In a surprise turn of events,
the SGA Election Commission
announced that due to technical difficulties
in this year’s new voting
system, the results for the election
wi l be postponed until Friday. Po ls
wi l be reopened today for students
who were blocked from voting.
“We have run into one sma l situation
that is going to prohibit us from
unveiling the official results of the
SGA election tonight,” Will Logan,
the SGA Election Commissioner
and a senior in microbiology, said.
“When we were incorporating our
brand new voting system there was
a very sma l statistic of students that
were not able to vote.”
That “statistic” consisted of students
who had selected a strict privacy
setting when setting up their
NetIDs and passwords.
“When students generate their
NetIDs and passwords, they are able
to make those private,” Logan said.
“So essentia ly this system wasn’t
a lowed access to their passwords.
So that’s why their NetIDs and their
passwords were not synching up.”
This glitch was best summed up
by Associate Dean of Students Jeff
Cathey, who likened it to a someone
not wanting to have their name
appear in a phone book.
“A student can say that they don’t
want their name and information
listed in the UT Directory,” Cathey
said. “… These are a l students
who wouldn’t show up in ‘People
Search.’”
For this specific group of UT students,
and them alone, the po ls wi l
be reopened today at 8 a.m.
“We are slated to generate the
same ba lot and make it available
to these students that have theis
specific incident and a low them the
opportunity to vote,” Logan said.
“ . We want to emphasize that in
no way was the election flawed.
Everyone that voted was accounted
for, but we just wanted to make sure
that as a body, we are making this as
fair and as equal as possible.”
The commission was not informed
about the discrepency until the last
minute.
“Right now, we had had a few
issues brought to our attention by
students who were attempting to
vote,” Logan said. “A lot of the
issues we were able to resolve on the
spot. And we didn’t actua ly encounter
this issue until 4:30 (Tuesday)
afternoon, this specific incident.
There were students with solvable
issues, but this was the first unsolvable
issue w encountered.”
Logan was also adamant that this
problem was no through the fault or
error of anyone.
“This is due to a technical error
that is not resolvable by these students
or by any member of the
Election Commission or the Dean of
Students Office,” Logan said.
The commission also made note
that when the results are finalized,
the process wi l be the same as it
would have been yesterday.
“This body has to meet to certify
the results of the election,” Logan
said. “We wi l do the same thing at
3 o’clock (today) as long as the circumstances
we’ve laid out can be
incorporated. It wi l be certified by
this body and revealed to the campaign.”
For those working on the campaigns
themselves, the announcement
came as a surprise. But despite
the disappointment, some, like
Daniel Aycock, a strategic advisor
for the Amplify campaign and a
senior in accounting, were satisfied
with the commission’s decision.
“Of course we a l wanted results
(yesterday),” Aycock said. “But I
think this is the most responsible
way to handle a technical difficulty.
Those students deserve the chance
to cast their vote and we’ l just have
to wait until (Friday).”
Ultimately, Logan stressed the
need for the election, which Cathey
said had drawn the votes of nearly 25
percent of the undergraduate population,
to be fair for a l voters.
“A th end of the day, we wan to
say that this election was complete,
it was fair and it was equal,” he said.

Confucius Institute
makes campus debut
UT wi l soon gain an
incredible new outlet for connecting
the campus directly
to China in the form of the
Confucius Institute.
The Confucius Institute is
a non-profit program that provides
resources throughout
the U.S. and abroad for both
credit and non-credit courses
in Chinese language and culture,
helps sponsor cultural
events and works as a means
to connect the universities
directly with China. UT is the

UT. He cited examples such
as working with the Co lege
of Business Administration to
connect UT business majors
with students in China who
are studying business, working
with the study abroad
program and helping sponsor
events related to Chinese
culture.
Shaw also explained that
the Confucius Institute wi l
not only serve the university’s
students and faculty,
also but the community at
large. The non-credit courses
wi l be available for the general
public to take. Initia ly,
the courses would consist of
ntermediate and busige
cours-
Auditorium. The “East Meets
West” performance wi l feature
traditional Chinese performers,
WUOT employee
Todd Steed and his bluegrass
band and members of the UT
Jazz Program.
Both of the events are
free and open to the public.
Parking for the ribbon
cutting can be found in the
Lake Avenue parking garage;
Staff Lot 9 can be used for
the “East Meets West” performance.

There was a presence in Thompson-
Boling Arena last night.
Whether it was the 19,567 fans sitting
in the stands, or junior guard Jordan
McRae who couldn’t miss, or an animated
Cuonzo Martin, something lit a fire under
the Volunteers.
The Vols (17-10, 9-6 SEC) beat the No.
8 Florida Gators (22-5, 12-3 SEC) 64-58,
adding another win to their current sixgame
streak.
Head coach Cuonzo Martin said beating
a Top 10 team was a big win for his
team.
“We beat a very talented team. A team
with a lot of parts,” Martin said. “Probably
the best offensive team we’ve faced a l
year as far as movement and activity.
They have multiple guys who can dribble
the ba l and make shots, make plays.”
Florida head coach Billy Donovan said
he thought the difference in the game
was rebounding. He said he sees the Vols
finishing the season at the top of the
league. The Vols finished the night with
41 rebounds.

“I was just thinking ‘go in.’ I didn’t

I was rea ly hype and the crowd was into
it. That was the best way to star the game
for a player: a dunk.”
“Jordan McRae did a good job of scoring
the ba l and being aggressive, carrying
ou those assignments and those opportunities
to score offensively,” Martin said.
“He did a great job of working the game
and trying to get open looks.”
Sophomore forward Jarne l Stokes
found himself in early foul trouble, but
managed to curb his aggression and focus
on much-need rebounds late. He ended the
night with eight points and 14 rebounds,
nine of which came in the second half.
“I’ve been dealing with that a l season,”
Stokes said regarding foul trouble. “It’s
one of my hardes things, that and getting
double-teamed. I think I am pretty much
prepared for that.
Martin was proud of the way Stokes’
