The results from the latest meeting of the full Board of Trustees yielded a new pres-ident for the University of Tennessee, Joe DiPietro.

But the feelings attached to the close vote of 11-10 were not confined to the mem-bers of the Board.

Students across campus have begun to weigh in on the recent decision, showing anequally divided sentiment from those who followed the search.

Carey Smith, senior in political science and a non-voting student trustee, intimate-ly followed the search and was pleased with the outcome,having previously thrown her support to DiPietro.

“I wanted to support a candidate that I felt would pro-vide a strong, working dynamic amongst the UT leader-ship already in place,” Smith said. “Dr. DiPietro fits thatbill. I am extremely confident in his leadership and amexcited for the UT system to benefit from it.”

The final vote was close and staunch public supportwas offered on behalf of both candidates from membersof the Board and UT community alike.

“The candidate that stood out the most to me was Dr.DiPietro, and I voiced my opinion when the time wasappropriate,” Smith said. “Was it easy to do that in theface of remarkable people who happen to disagree withyou? No, it was not, but students deserved a voice at thattable. It was my obligation to speak up.”

Brian Noland made it to the final round of the searchbut, according to some, was unfortunately passed over.

“Noland is precisely what we need in Tennessee — anenergetic leader with youthful vision and a mountain ofexperience in education policy,” Eric Dixon, sophomorein philosophy, said. “Noland has dedicated his entirecareer to understanding what does and doesn’t work inhigher-education policy.”

The professional attributes of each candidate helpedsome make up their decision for support.

“A solid fundraising track record was an extremely important distinguishing factor,”Smith said.

But it was Noland’s experience in higher-education policy that garnered Dixon’sattention.

“He has served on the faculty of Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of Education, thenation's top graduate school in education according to U.S. News and World Report,and served as chancellor of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commissionsince 2006,” Dixon said. “Clearly, if we hope to see higher education in Tennessee con-tinue to grow we must make some serious changes — changes that only a qualified,external perspective can bring.”

While each student’s perspective varied similarly to the Board’s, all parties agreedthat progress for the university was the key component for any candidate.

“I supported both of the two candidates that made it to the final round,” TommyJervis, SGA president, said. “All five candi-dates were all extremely talented and overlyqualified, and each presented a differentstrength in the competition. I think thateveryone is extremely saddened to seeInterim President Simek leave but excited tosee what the future holds for PresidentDiPietro.”

Jervis was pleased with the outcome, not-ing DiPietro’s prior experience.

“I think that (DiPietro) will be a hugeadvocate not only for students but for the uni-versity as well,” Jervis said. “He has donetremendous work on the Agriculture Campus,and I’m excited to see how he can take hisexperience and expertise and apply to theuniversity system as a whole.”

The gravity of the selection could be seenthrough the actions and expressions of thoselearning the result. At the time of theannouncement, the viewers of the Boardmeeting erupted into cheers, a feeling echoedby many around campus.

“I think the most common feedback I havereceived is just sheer excitement,” Smithsaid. “From what I’ve gathered, students are

excited to move our university forward under Dr. DiPietro’s leadership.”DiPietro is not expected to assume office until Jan. 1, 2011.

The UT Athletic Department and UTPD arestressing ticket-buying awareness and ticketsecurity for all Tennessee football fans.

UTPD Special Operations Lt. Emily Simerlysaid they deal with lost or stolen tickets farmore often than counterfeit tickets.

Joe Arnone, associate athletics director forticket operations, said that for any given game,between 50 and 100 tickets on average will bereported lost or stolen.

“For those instances, we reprint their tick-ets for them,” Arnone said. “For the biggergames, the original tickets show up at the sta-dium, so with the setup we have now, we’redealing with two different parties after they’rein the stadium. Obviously, the other personpurchased their tickets through an unautho-rized source.”

The problem is that it is usually very diffi-cult to track down where these tickets are com-ing from.

“Scalping is legal here, so people will buytickets from scalpers, and the tickets turn outto be bad,” Simerly said.

Arnone said that in his four years with UT,he has only seen two incidents of a person actu-ally creating his or her own counterfeit tickets,rather than stealing real ones and trying toeither enter the stadium with them or scalpthem outside of the stadium.

The game against the University of Floridain 2006 presented a major problem.

“We probably had about 50 counterfeit sea-son tickets where you could not tell the differ-ence between the actual tickets and the coun-terfeit ones,” Arnone said. “All of those ticketsthat we confiscated had sections, rows andseats located in the student section.”

Authorities have also experienced issueswith counterfeit tickets at other games.

“In ’07 against Georgia, we had an incidentwhere we found that several tickets were coun-terfeited, because they were part of the seatswe gave Georgia in their allotment,” Arnonesaid.

Simerly said the tickets have security fea-tures that are updated every year in attempts toprevent counterfeiting.

“They’ve made some watermark features onthe football tickets that are harder to recreate,but the average person buying a ticket off thestreet may not be aware of the security featuresuntil they reach the gate and the usher realizesit’s not a legitimate ticket,” Simerly said.

Arnone said the ticket department is cur-rently working on implementing scanning sys-tems similar to those used at Thompson-BolingArena.

“For the last three or four years, we’ve want-ed to get access management up and runningat Neyland Stadium, but we’re holding off untilnext year because of all of the constructiongoing on,” he said.

For students, counterfeit tickets are neveran issue, because they can print their ticketsonline with their names and account numbers.

The main point Arnone emphasized to fansbuying tickets is to know from whom or whereyou are buying the tickets.

“In ’07, when we were in the SEC champi-onship game, one of the things that really tearsme up inside was when we had a guy who wasa big Tennessee fan and bought his tickets froma scalper — and who knows how much hepayed for those two tickets to the SEC champi-onship game — those tickets were reportedstolen, and then he and his 8-year-old son wereleft holding the bag,” Arnone said. “You try tohelp people out, but there are situations whereyou really can’t do anything.”

As some of you may know, this week was JapanWeek at the I-House. Hopefully a few of you madeit to Culture Night or the cooking demonstration,or maybe you even learned about opportunities toteach English in Japan. And though there aren’tany more official activities at the I-House today,it is in the spirit of Japan Week that I have writtentoday’s column.

The country we live in (and Japan, too) hasan amazing propensity for absorbing bits of otherlanguages and cultures and making them partsof its own. Although I don’t expect you all to knowabout Ikebana or the Shinkansen, probably mostof you know the Japanese words geisha andteriyaki (even if you only know the Americanizedmeanings). I also expect that most of you grew up,as I did, with Pokémon.

If Pokémon has followed you to college, raiseyour hand. Indeed, few pieces of Japanese popularculture, other than perhaps Hello Kitty, have swepttoday’s American youth culture like Pokémon has.And for those of you that just raised your hand,you probably already know that the latestgeneration of Pokémon is soon to be released herein the States via the new Black and White games.

Recently I’ve had the opportunity to play withand partially translate the Japanese version ofPokémon Black, and while I’m certainly not goingto let loose any spoilers you can’t find for yourselfon the Internet, I was struck by the game in a fewways that I’d like to share. (As a complete non-expert, you can rest easy knowing that I’m notgoing to give you any battling tips. You wouldprobably end up the worst trainer in history —and that’s not how the song goes …)

Firstly, the attention to detail is really incredible.This may seem like a bit of no-brainer for thoseof you acquainted with the development of theseries, but the designers chose to step up theirgame in some subtle ways that really make Blackand White visually satisfying. Of course, you’ll haveto play the game(s) yourself to see what I mean.

Secondly, the care that went into crafting a game

for all audiences really pulled at my heartstrings.When you first start a new adventure in Black orWhite, you are given the option of having the textwritten in kana or kanji. For those of you notacquainted with the three Japanese writingsystems, I suggest you Google them, because Isimply don’t have the wherewithal to explain themthoroughly here.

In a nutshell, though, kana is the two basicscripts of Japanese that every 3- or 4-year-oldJapanese kid learns from the start. Kanji indicatesthe use of borrowed Chinese characters that mayhave a new sound and meaning — different fromthe native Chinese reading — which Japaneseschoolchildren usually learn according to grade.What makes this such a neat part of the game isthat it means Pokémon does not pander to acertain audience, nor does it have a “little kids”version and a “big kids” version with differingcontent. Having once been a child myself, I canappreciate the measures taken to make sure thatinformation is accessible — not “dumbed down.”Because I have never seen a Japanese version ofany of the other games, I cannot speak about aprogression of any sort; this may well be a featurethat every Japanese game has had from thebeginning.

Lastly, I was once again perplexed somewhatby the moral lessons being taught to young players.The whole system of Pokémon training andbattling seems, at the outset, to be just a whole lotof fun. But when you look at it more closely, yousee that the whole game is a method of war byproxy; and what does that teach us? For example,instead of fighting Team Rocket (or in this case,Team Plasma) in hand-to-hand combat, you andyour friends send your Pokémon in to battle againstthe bad guys’ Pokémon. After they’ve beendefeated, usually the bad guys slink away, sayingsomething like “Aw, rats!” as they head back downRoute 11. Too bad real life doesn’t work like that.Maybe someone should suggest to thegovernments of the world that they should let otherbeings fight for them … Oh, nevermind.

All in all, Pokemon Black and White are excitingadditions to the world that brought you Pikachuand Mudkip. I hope that this article encouragesyou to explore more exciting and interestingaspects of Japanese culture that have trickledacross the Pacific. Dewa mata ne!

Friday, October 29, 20104A • The Daily Beacon OPINIONS

Columns of The Daily Beacon are reflections of the individual columnist, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Beacon or its editorial staff.

Weekend after weekend, my friends and Istruggle to come up with good dining options forFriday and Saturday nights. Knoxville has greatplaces to eat, but all too often I hear complaintsthat these places are too expensive. I realize thatmost college students are on a tight budget, so Isee it as my duty to put together a list of some ofthe best places around Knoxville to dine for less.

After conversing with many of my friends andfellow foodies, I have decided that $10 is areasonable amount for a college student to spendon a Friday or Saturday night meal with friends.

I understand that to many people, $10 for a mealseems like a lot. But before you disregard thiscolumn, I ask you to consider the alternatives.Instead of going to one of the many fast food jointson the Strip to eat subpar food, you can spend alittle extra ($2 or $3) to get a truly great meal.

Over the years, my ultimate go-to for aninexpensive but special meal in Knoxville has beenThe Tomato Head in Market Square. The food isgreat, and the prices are pretty darn low for thequality of food one gets. The best thing on the menuis the chicken burrito. It comes with rice, beans,chicken, roasted onions, spinach, goat cheese, sourcream and a special house sauce. The total withtax comes to $10 — a great deal for incredibly freshingredients and an unrivaled atmosphere.

Another great option for dining on a budget inKnoxville is Wok Hay on Kingston Pike. It has someof the best (if not the best) Asian food around. Itis a sit-down restaurant with a laid-back atmosphereand speedy service. It is nice enough for a date butcasual enough for a night out with your best friends.The best buy on the menu is the Fire Cracker RiceBowl. Order it with pork and your total will be$8.99 plus tax — a mighty good deal for the qualityof food you’re getting. As a fair warning, this dishis rather spicy, so order your drink accordingly.

Though I love Calhoun’s dearly, its pulled porkplate is, unfortunately, no longer the best barbecueplate in Knoxville for less than $10. Dead EndBarbecue on Sutherland Avenue has surpassedit. It serves up some of the best, most affordablepork in the city. The pulled pork plate at Dead Endcomes with a plethora of pork, two sides (the bestare the corn on the cob and the mayors beans) andyour choice of regular corn bread, jalapeñocornbread or Texas toast (go with the jalapeñocornbread). This heap of food will only set you backa measly $9. It is easily one of the best dining dealsin the city.

One of the true gems of the city of Knoxville isCafé 4 in Market Square. I ate there this pastweekend, and once again I was reminded of howgood food in Knoxville could be. Every meal I haveever had there has been phenomenal. Without adoubt, it is the best food for the cost in Knoxville.While my favorite menu item — the braised shortribs — costs $17 (a bargain for what you get),diners can easily enjoy a meal at Café 4 for less than$10. While all of the sandwiches on the menu aretasty and less than 10 bucks, the best bet for thebudget conscious is the Chicken Ranch Pizza. Thisflatbread pizza costs $10.50 but is well worth everyextra penny.

Arguably, the best pizza in Knoxville is also someof the most affordable. Hard Knox Pizza, locatedin the Western Plaza Shopping Center, makeseverything from scratch. Known for its wood-firedmethod of cooking pizza, Hard Knox serves up piesthat are nothing short of perfection. The crust isthick and crunchy and the ingredients are freshlymade for each and every pie. By far, the best dealhere is the Carnera — a traditional red-saucepepperoni pizza with green peppers and onions.At $9.95, it is nearly impossible to find a betterpizza for the money in K-town.

Don’t let a dwindling bank account keep youfrom going out with your friends and having goodtime. Tasty, affordable food is all around us inKnoxville. We just have to be smart about wherewe eat and what we order.

THE DAILY BACON • Blake Tredway

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this Saturday, Knoxville is hosting the annualSusan G. Komen Race For the Cure, the subject of breasts seemed like an appropriate topic for this week’s column.As breasts are a huge part of my life (I am a proud owner), and breast cancer has been a huge part of my familyand interpersonal relationships, the subject seemed like a natural one to approach.

About one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer is the second-most common type of cancer diagnosed in Caucasian women (first being skin cancer; this year, around onein fourcancer diagnoses for women will be breast cancer), and breast cancer is the No. 1 type of cancer developed byAfrican American women.

All of this is really scary, but so often we have the attitude of “Yeah, but there isn’t any history of it in my family,and that only happens to older women. It can’t happen to anyone my age.”

Actually, that’s not accurate: 70 to 80 percent of breast cancer patients are women who have no family historyof breast cancer, and being a woman is the No. 1 precursor for breast cancer.

So, how do we make the little pink ribbons a thing of the past?

Step One: Don’t make yourself a sitting duck

What exactly does this mean? Know the risks for cancer, and do your best to avoid them. This includes thingslike smoking (guilty), taking poor care of your health (equally guilty), ignoring warning signs, taking hits to thechest, and most terrifyingly, ignoring things that feel suspicious. Also, if you’re a woman over the age of 40,mammograms are your best friend. Considering that the majority of our readership is the younger crowdthough, women in their 20s and 30s should make a breast exam part of their yearly physical and should neverhesitate to consult their physicians about concerns and questions.

Step Two: Self-examinations are a lifesaver

Self-exams are relatively easy to perform (you can do it in the shower, while you’re laying in bed at night, youcan get some assistance from a willing pal, etc.) and can make all the difference in the world when you are tryingto save your life.

Get comfortable, wherever you are, and know what you are looking for. You know your body better than anyoneelse does, and you know what feels right and what isn’t supposed to be there. When performing a self-exam,keep this in mind, and be honest.

Put the arm of whichever breast you are examining behind your head and get to feeling. Press firmly (but nothard) around the entire breast (underneath it, beside it), and feel very closely. Lather, rinse and repeat with theother part of the pair.

This is an easy, daily exam that can make bathtime, bedtime or playtime a much safer, life-saving avenue.

Step Three: What happens if something is wrong

So, let’s say you find a dreaded lump or spot that feels unusual. For starters, don’t panic, but don’t take it in stride,either. Immediately call your primary care physician, and take the appropriate steps towards getting the spotchecked out. This is really the only way to make sure that the “just nothing” really isn’t a whole lot of something.

In essence, there isn’t really a lot that we know about how to cure cancer, only how to treat it. Hopefully, someday,there will be a cure, and this will all be a thing of the past. Until then, though, the best we can do is keep fightingfor a cure, keeping strong and remembering that we know how to take care of each other and ourselves. Medicinetoday is at the peak of technology, which is definitely something to appreciate. In the meantime, though, let’s doour best to save second base!

On a personal note, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I want to give a shout out to my grandmotherJoyce, as well as all of the other survivors out there! You are a wonderful inspiration, and (at least in my case), Ilove you very much!

Have a very happy and safe Halloween, see you next week!

When MoogFest first started making thepublicity rounds, it could have been perceivedas another arts and music festival with a sillyname, à la Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza,etc. As it turns out, MoogFest’s etymologystems from American synthesizer pioneerBob Moog (pronunciation rhyming with“vogue”).

Although MoogFest has been an entity forseveral years, AC Entertainment’s acquisitionhas uprooted the festival from New York Cityto Moog’s final home in Asheville, N.C. Withthis move, MoogFest has certainly gainedmore prominence among music festivals.Initially releasing a handful of relatively bigname artists like MGMT, Big Boi andThievery Corporation, the lineup has continu-ously expanded,boasting performerslike Devo, Girl Talk,Pretty Lights andSleigh Bells.

Unlike that ofmany other similarf e s t i v a l s ,MoogFest’s lineup isfocused on groupsthat produce theirmusic with the aidof or exclusivelyelectronically. This could be intimidating forsome who may consider electronic music tobe largely homogenous. However, this couldnot be farther from the truth.

The festival hosts a diverse selection ofartists who play simultaneously throughoutAsheville’s legendary venues, from the club-sized Orange Peel to the larger Thomas WolfeAuditorium and the Asheville Civic Centerarena. For those not partial to Girl Talk’smash-ups of popular songs, head over toThomas Wolfe to hear the poppy, yet intricate,electronic music of Animal Collective’s PandaBear. Or if seeing Pretty Lights again seemsredundant, walk over to Hot Chip’s set anddance to the British electropop band.

In addition to providing a lineup of musi-cians who will entertain patrons for three con-secutive nights, the festival also pays homageto Bob Moog.

“Bob Moog changed the course of music aswe know it,” Ashley Capps, founder ofMoogfest promoter AC Entertainment, said.“He put new worlds of sound literally at thefingertips of musicians, unleashing a creativerevolution. We’re thrilled and honored to beable to celebrate his extraordinary legacy inthe place that he called home, and we hope todo so for many years to come.”

Honoring Moog and his accomplishmentsis evident, as the festival will also featureworkshops on Moog’s inventions as well asdocumentaries about his legacy. These work-shops and screenings take place during theday in downtown Asheville, so one need notmiss Massive Attack to learn about “MoogGuitar Sound Sculpting” or see “Bouncing

Cats,” a film aboutbreakdance in Uganda.

With Asheville onlyabout two hours awayfrom campus, many UTstudents can enjoy theprospect of a nonstop,three-day Halloweenparty inundated withincredible live music.

“I am so excitedabout MoogFest thisweekend,” Lauren

Smith, junior in journalism and electronicmedia, said. “What a great festival to spendHalloween at. My friends and I are planningon dressing up in costumes every day. There’sdefinitely going to be some pretty incredibleshows. I can’t wait.”

Weekend passes are officially sold out; how-ever, day passes are still available fromMoogFest’s website, http://moogfest.com/,and weekend passes are always availablethrough secondhand sources.

MoogFest 2010 kicks off Friday, Oct. 29 at6 p.m., and the last show is scheduled to endat 1 a.m. Monday, Nov. 1.

NASHVILLE — County music stars GarthBrooks and Trisha Yearwood said Thursday theywill play a concert in December to benefit floodrelief in middle Tennessee.

Brooks made the announcement during a newsconference Thursday morning at the state capitalthat was attended by Gov. Phil Bredesen,Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and a host of otherpoliticians.

Brooks said making the decision was easy: “Ithink we decided to do it the day we saw theflood.”

He formally retired about a decade ago to spend

more time with his children and Yearwood. But hebegan performing at the Wynn Resort in LasVegas last December, and expects to do 15 weeksof shows a year at least until his youngest daugh-ter graduates from high school.

The benefit will be held Dec. 17 at BridgestoneArena and tickets will go for $25. Information onhow to buy tickets will be released Nov. 3.

Brooks said he likely will invite other perform-ers to participate and left the door open for multi-ple performances if there is demand.

There should plenty: He is the best selling soloartist in U.S. history with more than 128 millionalbums sold and his time away from recordingonly seems to have heightened his fans’ interest.

Tennessee coach Derek Dooley doesn’t know what it’s like togo to war, but his Vols will again be bat-tle tested Saturday when they travel toColumbia, S.C., to face 20th-rankedSouth Carolina.

Don’t expect the Gamcocks to bespooked either as the Vols try to musterits first Southeastern Conference victo-ry.

“This is probably the best team(South Carolina has) had, certainlysince 2001,” Dooley said. “They haven’tlost a game at their house, so we’ve gota heck of a challenge. It doesn’t get anyeasier, even though some people thinkwe are out of the woods.”

The Vols featured a two-quarterbacksystem last week against Alabama.However, neither signal-caller couldseparate himself from the other in thegame or in practice this week.

Dooley said both quarterbacks puttogether nice drives and played well butcouldn’t find ways to finish them off.

“Chances are we are going to stickwith the same plan,” Dooley said.“(Junior) Matt (Simms) is a littledinged up. So, we will see how they doin practice.”

Tennessee walks into Williams-BriceStadium as a double-digit underdogand will need another productive out-ing from junior running back TaurenPoole.

Poole, who became the first running back to rush for more than100 yards against Alabama in 41 games, has garnered 595 rushingyards on 109 carries this season, including six touchdowns.

“When you have a younger, inexperienced team, you are alwaysgoing to work fundamentals a little bit more,” Dooley said. “Wecould have three spring practices. We need them.”

The Vols have outscored their opponents 88-72 in the first half,but their opponents have controlled the second half by scoring

126 points, while Tennessee has scored just 58.“We played a good game (against Alabama),” weak-side line-

backer Herman Lathers said. “We are getting more and more con-fident as we go. There have been some mental breakdowns in thethird quarter that have really hurt us.”

Tennessee’s defense is giving up 403 yardsper game, including 242 passing yards, and theBig Orange will need to contain a talentedSouth Carolina offense.

“The formula on any good offense is greatrunner, great receivers and a quarterback who’splaying really well,” Dooley said. “And they’vegot all three.”

Though the Vols are allowing 3.57 sacks eachgame, the Volunteers’ offensive line wasimproved last weekend against Alabama, sur-rendering only two sacks to one of the bestdefenses in the country.

“I’m starting to get more comfortable,” fresh-man quarterback Tyler Bray said. “It helpswhen the O-line has been blocking their buttsoff. They’ve been doing a great job, so that helpsand takes the press off of me.”

However, Tennessee will be hard-pressed toslow down a South Carolina defensive front thatranks fourth nationally with 24 sacks this sea-son.

“They’re fast, they’re physical, they run tothe football, and they fly around,” Dooley saidof the Gamecock’s defense.

The Vols will need to get the most out of aninexperienced team, which has seen 23 fresh-men take the field this season, for their match-up with the Gamecocks.

“It worries me that we talk about, well,they’re inexperienced or we’re not very deep,”Dooley said. “It’s an excuse not to win, and itcan’t ever get that way.”

While the Big Orange had a disappointing outing in practiceTuesday, Dooley doesn’t expect the problems to continue.

“There are certain values in the organization that will never becompromised,” Dooley said. “Never. And one of them is how youapproach your work every day. The attitude you approach it with,the mental intensity you approach it with and the toughness youapproach it with. When that’s not to our standard, it needs to getconfronted.”

How UT Will WinIt’s no secret the Vols have strug-

gled to play 60 minutes of football thisyear.

Tennessee will need to find a way to extend its firsthalf success into the second half if it wants to win its firstconference game of the season against South Carolina.

Getting that win on the road against a top-25 team is a dif-ficult task, but the Vols will need to have better execution andplay more mentally sound in order to upset the Gamecocks.

Running back Tauren Poole has been a bright spot on offense,despite playing behind an inexperienced and injured offensiveline. Poole has gone more than 100 yards rushing in four of UT’sgames this season and will need another big performanceSaturday. The Vols must find a way to be in the game in the thirdand fourth quarters in order for Poole to continue to get carries.

With Matt Simms battling a minor knee injury this week, it’s safeto assume both Simms and freshman Tyler Bray will take snaps atquarterback. Regardless of who’s under center, the signal-caller mustfind ways to get the ball to UT’s receivers in space against a Gamecockdefense that ranks last in the SEC in pass defense.

Defensively, the Vols haven’t been able to stop opposing SEC offens-es all year. South Carolina sports one of the best and most balancedoffenses in the conference.

For the Vols to have any chance of win-ning, they must find a way to slow downrunning back Marcus Lattimore and con-tain receiver Alshon Jeffery. Both Lattimoreand Jeffery will make their fair share ofplays, but the Vols must tackle well andavoid giving up game-changing plays to theduo.

Gamecocks’ quarterback Stephen Garciacan get rattled by blitzes, leading toturnovers, and the Vols must find a way toget pressure on Garcia, much like they didlast week against Alabama’s Greg McElroy.

The margin of error for the Vols is razorthin. UT must win the turnover battle andget points, specifically touchdowns, whenthey get into the red zone. But more impor-tantly, the Vols must come out of the lockerroom to start the second half ready to finishthe game. If they can put together a per-formance like the one at LSU, UT could finditself with a chance to win in the fourthquarter.

This week the South Carolina Gamecocks (5-2, 3-2 SEC), prepareto take the field against Tennessee Volunteers (2-5, 0-4), in theWilliams-Brice Stadium.

South Carolina is a team that’s healthy andhas plenty of depth.

“We’re very healthy at this time of the year,”Gamecock coach Steve Spurrier said. “Almosteveryone is available to play, so we’re in a posi-tion to go play these guys.”

In the last 18 years, the Gamecocks haveonly won three times against the Vols. Spurrierplans on preparing for this game just like everyother, but he does not want to completely for-get the past.

“(History) always factors into the game,”Spurrier said. “History always factors intoeverything a little bit. Not completely, but we’repreparing like most of our games this year.We’re not trying to overhype any one game.We’re trying to improve and play a lot betterthan we did last week.”

Tennessee is playing many underclassmen,but Spurrier felt that the amount of young play-ers the Vols play has only a small impact onhow the team performs.

“I heard they had 10 senior starters on thatteam,” Spurrier said of Tennessee. “We all playa lot of freshman. If you’re a good player, itdoesn’t matter if you’re a freshman or a senior.It just depends on how they play.”

Last week against the Commodores, SouthCarolina changed up its offensive play calling.Going into the game, offensive coordinatorG.A. Mangus called most of the shots, with Spurrier only voicing hisopinion occasionally.

“I really think the coach that spends the most time with the quar-terback should probably be calling the plays,” Spurrier said. “G.A.was sort of the main guy there.”

After the Gamecocks’ loss to Kentucky two weeks ago, Spurrier

saw the need to hand off the offensive play calling over to Mangus.He placed his attention on improving on other aspects of the gamelike special teams and pass defense. Specifically, on punt returnsagainst the Wildcats, South Carolina had negative return yards.

“I was doing most of it (offensive play calling) prior to the Vandygame,” Spurrier said. “I decided a little change up might be best for

us, and that’s how we’re gonna keep it right now. Ispent a little bit of time with pass defense.Hopefully our pass defense is sound. Now I’mgoing to try and help out the punt return a littlebit.”

Though South Carolina is a heavy favoriteagainst UT, Spurrier refuses to let the hype under-mine the fact that his team still needs to be ready toplay the Vols.

“Statistically we’re not a whole lot better thansome of these teams,” Spurrier said. “We’ve givenup a bunch of yards, up until last week. We held uppretty well against Vandy, but really we just need toimprove and focus on playing our best game.”

After seeing the success Alabama had againstTennessee last Saturday, South Carolina plans ontaking advantage of its passing game by spreadingthe ball to talented receivers Alshon Jeffery andTori Gurley. Gurley is especially ready to take thefield against the Vols.

“We’ve got to go out steamrolling,” Gurley said.“The coaches put us in great position, and we justneed to execute.”

Running back Brian Maddox is wary ofTennessee’s potential and does not want to loseanother game.

“Coming down off a loss from Kentucky still hasleft a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth, and we don’twant to experience that again,” Maddox said.“They’re still Tennessee, still a great bunch of guysthat play really hard. They are going to come here

ready to play, and they are very capable of beating us if we don’t comeprepared Saturday.”

Another piece of good news for South Carolina is the return ofstarting running back Marcus Lattimore. Lattimore suffered a minorankle injury during the Kentucky game, but he is expected to returnfor the game against Tennessee.

How SC Will WinThe Gamecocks are led by a very

talented offense, which features playmak-ers at the skill positions. After the Vols allowed

Georgia’s A.J. Green and Alabama’s Julio Jones tohave huge outings in each of the past two games, the

Gamecocks will look to do the same with receiverAlshon Jeffery. Jeffery is a big, physical receiver, who leads the SEC in

receptions and yards per game. The sophomore has hauledin six touchdown passes on the season and is the go-to guy

for quarterback Stephen Garcia. Garcia ranks second in theSEC in passing efficiency, but he has been known to make mis-

takes in critical situations during his career.For the first time since bringing his visor to Columbia, S.C.,

Steve Spurrier has a dynamic running back in Marcus Lattimore.The true freshman was one of the most heralded recruits to ever

sign with the school and averages 89.7 yards per game on the ground,despite missing last week’s game against Vanderbilt with a sore ankle.Lattimore brings an added dimension to the Gamecock offense and if

not 100 percent, could force Garcia to have to beat the Vols through theair.

The Gamecocks rank last in the SEC inpassing defense but hold opponents tojust 101.3 yards on the ground, good forsecond best in the league.

The South Carolina defense will needto contain Vols running back TaurenPoole and force whichever quarterbackUT has on the field to beat them passing.

One way the Carolina defense can slowdown the Vols’ passing game is to getpressure on the quarterback. TheGamecocks have sacked opposing signal-callers more than any other team in theSEC, and UT has allowed the most sacksin the conference.

In the end, South Carolina needs towithstand the first-half fight Tennesseehas put up to opponents this year anduse its depth to wear the Vols down inthe third and fourth quarters, relying onJeffery and Lattimore to carry the offenseto victory.

Gamecocks hope to avoid letdown

With many Halloween traditions thatdart in and out every year (picking theright costume, buying candy for the trick-or-treaters, terrible scary films beingreleased en-masse, choosing the right par-ties, UT playing South Carolina), thetelling of ghost stories is one that seems tohover every year.

With the chill in the wind as the leaveschange colors and the nights coming quick-er, it seems that everyone suddenly has astory to tell about that friend of a friendwho knew a guy who thought he saw some-

thing late one night. With a campus thatdates back to 1794, UT is no exception toits fair share of history when it comes tothings going bump in the night. Of themost popular haunt-spots on campus,including Strong Hall (a former residencehall for women, now home to Sophie’sCafeteria), Hoskins Law Library and theTyson Alumni House, it seems as thougheveryone has a story to tell this Halloween.

Strong, the mother of Benjamin RushStrong, who, within his will in 1915, gavea sizeable grant to the university. Withinthe generous grant remained the conditionthat an all-women’s residence hall, namedafter Sophronia, was to be built and a gar-

den was to be maintained.Not long after the residence hall was

built in 1925, “Sophie” came along too.Having been a mother to 12 children,

Strong was well-versed in the role of nur-turing, something that her ghost continuedto do as girls occupied the now-defunctresidence hall.

“The first sighting was reported soonafter the opening: This residence hall hadfull-length mirrors in each occupant’sroom, and ‘Sophie’ was seen in the mirror,standing behind one of the new residentsas she brushed her hair,” BetseyCreekmore, associate vice chancellor offinance and administration, as well asnoted campus ghost buff, said.

Strong is said to appear in the mirror ofthe front lobby every year on her birthday,

Feb. 17. She is also credited for variouspranks, including flickering lights andmysterious orbs seen roaming down thehallways. She is known for appearing inincidents of “unladylike behavior” anddoes not have much of a tolerance for dis-agreements.

“The Strong Hall staff called in PatSisson, a psychic from Halls, who said shefelt the ghost of Sophronia Strong didinhabit the building,” Creekmore said.“While Sisson was talking about the ghost,the lights in the back of the room went out,and the ones in the front of the roomdimmed. When Sisson said, ‘I hope that’s asign that she approves,’ all the lights in theroom blinked back on full strength.

Hoskins Law Library“Evening Primrose,” named after John

Collier’s short story by the same name, whichis about people hiding in a department storeduring the day and coming out at night, is theaffectionate moniker given to the spirit thatallegedly haunts the law library. The ghost isknown to play with the elevators and occasion-ally knock books off the shelves, but more so,it’s known for its scent than any actual behav-ior.

The ghost is rumored to carry the smell ofcornbread and other suppertime staples and issaid to be preparing dinner when the cookingodors occur.

The identity of the “Evening Primrose” isunknown, but he is rumored to be a poor grad-uate student who managed to live in theLibrary undetected while researching his dis-sertation.

Nick Wyman, senior library associate,offered his theories behind the nature of theghost.

When asked why spirits would hang arounda library with no evident past events for spiritsto linger, Wyman said, “Lots of librariesthroughout the country experience these sameexperiences. Libraries can offer a sympatheticenvironment for whatever may linger behind.”

The library has had many additions throughthe years, and as a result, has many dark cor-ners and spaces that can add to the spookygothic architecture already in place.

“There have been reports of staff workingin the stacks and hearing footsteps nearby.When they go to look, no one can be found, “Wyman said.

“One employee named Tom Tom, whoworked in the shipping and receiving room,stayed late one night to finish extra work.”Wyman said. “The building was empty at thetime, but the staff elevator began to operate,and it wasn’t long before Tom Tom left, neverto work alone at night again.”

Wyman said occurrences have slowed sincethe special collections have moved to Hodgeslibrary.

Tyson House“Workers at Tyson Alumni House contend

that the basement of the house is haunted, andworkers in the Alumni Affairs office reporthearing sounds of walking in corridors whenno one is there, as well as low moans,”Creekmore said. “The unidentified ghost isalso credited with turning on lights.”

The house, which was given to the univer-sity as part of a grant by Lawrence Tysons,was granted as an Episcopal ministry housebefore eventually being converted into theoffice for alumni affairs. The only conditionwithin the grant maintained that the grave ofbeloved family dog, Bonita, be maintained in

the front yard. It is said that Bonita is the ghost haunting

the house, as well as being the rumored “ghostdog of the Hill,” a vicious black dog with drip-ping fangs. She is said to be keeping watch forher master, who was a military general.

Despite the stories, those working in theAlumni Office say they’ve never noticed any-thing strange.

“You know, I’ve worked here a long time,and I’ve never seen anything,” Mary Holtman-Reed, alumni program director, said.“Everyone has a story, you know, that they’veseen something spooky or heard some noise orthe lights turned out, but I’ve never seen athing.”

Other notable hauntsOther notable spooky spots on campus

include Alumni Memorial Building, which isrumored to be haunted by a ghost namedFanny, who fancies herself an actress andenjoys performing.

“She originally haunted Old Science Hall,”Creekmore said. “When the building wasrazed in 1967, Fanny was said to have movedher home to Alumni Memorial. Legend has itthat she haunted the auditorium of ScienceHall, which was used for plays as well as forchapels, assemblies and lectures, and that sheloved the theatre and considered herself anactress.”

Fanny’s backstory relates to when a film wasshot in Knoxville in the ’20s. She had a smallpart in it and, having impressed the producers,she was offered a contract to go to Hollywoodto be in the movie but fell ill with tuberculosisand died soon thereafter.

“Fanny was seen in Science Hall in the audi-torium and wandering the hallways, and afterthe building was razed, sightings were report-ed in the previously un-haunted AlumniMemorial Building in the main auditorium asplays were rehearsed,” Creekmore said.

Another spine-tingling campus home is thePi Kappa Psi fraternity house, which is said tohouse Ralph, a friendly ghost who was onceknown to roam around the house during chap-ter meetings and toy with the lights.

Ghosts and cultureAs Creekmore sees it, the ghosts aren’t a

bad part of campus at all.“You know, I think it adds to our culture,

our history,” Creekmore said. “These ghostskeep our history alive, remind us of the past,let us know how things used to be.”

The nature of the campus ghosts, which is,for the most part, light and playful, and inStrong’s case nurturing, is also a comment onthe history of Knoxville, as Creekmore sees it.

“We’ve never had anything really terriblyviolent happen here, no really dark history onthis campus, and I think the ghosts reflectthat,” Creekmore mused. “The ghosts are verykind, playful. They aren’t aggressive and theymean well.”

Though Halloween is the one time ofyear when any type of dress is allowed,college students don’t always have themoney to buy a $50 or $60 costume forthe big night. For students who want afun and trendy costume on a budget, trypaying homage to some of the most pop-ular things in pop culture this year. Mostof these costumes consist of things mostpeople have intheir closets, canborrow fromfriends or get verycheaply atGoodwill.

1. “Glee” castmembers: Forthose who have notseen the Emmy-award winningshow “Glee,” allthe characters arehigh-school stu-dents, and theiroutfits can easilybecome Halloweencostumes. To beRachel, the show’smain character andresident diva, allthat’s needed is a plaid skirt, cardiganand knee socks. Spend the night beltingout ballads to complete the costume.

To play Sue Sylvester, the coach ofthe Cheerios and rival of Mr. Schuester,a matching track suit in any color willwork. To fully get into the character,spend the night insulting everyone youcome across. For Will Schuester, theGlee club’s fearless leader, all that’sneeded is a sweater vest, tie, white but-ton down and jeans. If any of thesethings are hard to come by, borrow a

friend’s old cheerleading uniform to beCheerios Quinn, Santana or Brittany(make sure to add a ponytail) or a letter-man jacket to play Glee jocks Finn orPuck.

2. “Jersey Shore”: Nothing hasbecome quite the pop culture phenome-non this year like “Jersey Shore.” WithMike “The Situation” appearing onDancing with the Stars and Snookibecoming a tabloid-magazine staple, it isnot hard to believe that costume storeshave actually created packaged costumesfor these reality stars.

While these costumes retail for morethan $50, it’s easy to make a quick do-it-yourself “Jersey Shore” costume. ForSnooki, the hair is the major component(to dress like her, just find a short dressor skirt and heels). For those who do notwant to shell out for the “Snooki” wig(yes, there is a Snooki wig), try search-ing “Snooki Hair Tutorial” on YouTube.

That, along with a teasing comb and acan of hairspray, should provide the per-fect Snooki hair-do.

For the boys of “Jersey Shore,” allthat’s needed is a tank top, jeans, sneak-ers and gold chains. To be Pauly D, addheadphones, and to be “The Situation,”make sure to continually pull up yourshirt to show off abs. For all “JerseyShore” characters, the “Jersey Shore”tan can be faked with an instant self-tan-ner. These can be found at any drug-store, and for those really committed, goa few shades darker than what is a nor-

mal skin tone. (Don’t worry, these wearoff after a day or two.) Make sure youcommence with fist-pumping to get thefull effect.

*Both the Glee Cast and Jersey Shorecostumes also work great for couples.

3. Chilean Miners: For a costumethat focuses more on current events thanpop culture, dress like a Chilean miner.The miners’ rescue has become a storyof triumph this year, and creating a cos-tume is very simple. Find a hard hat,some type of jumpsuit (which can also

be created by wearinga monochromaticpants and shirtcombo) and drape aChilean f lag aroundthe shoulders.

Most people proba-bly do not have hardhats lying around, butthey can be foundonline atwww.thefind.com forless than $10. You canalso purchase aChilean flag, but mak-ing one is much lessexpensive. Take asmall bed sheet and

draw the f lag on it ,paint the bottom half of the sheet redand paint the upper left hand cornernavy blue with one white star in the mid-dle.

4. Flo the Progressive Girl:Everyone has seen the ProgressiveInsurance commercials featuring Flo, thepeppy salesgirl. To dress up like thispopular commercial spokeswoman,everything can be homemade. Start offwith a white polo shirt and white pants.Write Progressive in blue on a whiteapron (or just on the shirt), and make aFlo nametag with yellow and bluesquares at the top. Make an “I LoveProgressive” button (with a red heart inplace of the word “love”), and every-thing is set. To get the Flo hair andmake-up, use a piece of blue ribbon as aheadband, and use a curling iron to flipthe hair. Add extra mascara (or falseeyelashes) and lots of black eyeliner forher wide-eyed look.

Halloween

In the last decade and a half, the horror genrehas grown leaps and bounds from the low-techschlock of the ’60s and ’70s, the bad hair andclothes of the ’80s and the seemingly endless lineof B-rate sequels in the early ’90s, which draggedvenerable classics like “Halloween” and “Fridaythe 13th” into budget-bin hell. When Wes Cravendecided to parody his own work with “Scream” in1996, no one could have guessed that the approachwould redefine horror as we know it.

The indie trend that began with “Blair WitchProject” also lent to the current wave of films like“Paranormal Activity” and “Cloverfield,” whicheschew the big-budget special effects ofUniversal’s revamped reboots of“Wolfman” and “The Mummy” in favorof screams that rely on the mind, notthe eyes.

With these things in mind, I give youthe top-10 silver-screen screamers from1995 to 2010.

10. “Stay Alive” (2006)Malcolm from “Malcolm in the Middle”

plus video games times a countess whobathes in blood equals a ridiculously fun ridethrough the World Wide Web. Get the unrat-ed edition.

9. “Cloverfield” (2008)An offscreen monster is always scarier than a

ridiculously large spider with its strings exposed.Too bad the big show turns out to be less frighten-ing than bewildering.

8. “Silent Hill” (2006)This adaptation of Konami’s bestselling game

franchise attempted to mix many dark corners of asprawling mythos to mixed effects. The storymakes the film essential. A mother searching forher child in a land that simultaneously moves frompurgatory to hell is at times terrifying and hilari-ous.

7. “Final Destination” (2000)Though its many sequels tarnish this can’t-beat-

the-Devil thrill ride, the original and its incrediblycreative kills still give chills a decade later.

6. “Paranormal Activity” (2009)Another camcorder-shot, “what the heck was

that” trip to Exorcistville that cost less than$15,000 to shoot. Lo-fi horror > top dollar specialeffects-driven drivel.

5. “Scream” (1996)Wes Craven re-invented the wheel with this teen

horror romp and turned David Arquette into a star.You win some, you cry about others later. Justlike sex.

4. “Blair Witch Project” (1999)Often cited as the best film with the worst

sequel (runner-up: “Carrie”), this lost-in-the-wood-and-weird-s***-is-going-down indie capti-vated audiences and convinced viewers thatsomewhere in the hills of Maryland, somethingwas hungry and waiting.

3. “Let the Right One In” (2008)Sweden does it better. Look at detective fiction

and vampires, and it’s undeniable. Look for theremake, which defies expectation, but does not sup-plant the original.

2. “The Faculty” (1998)Aliens are in teachers, and they want your

brains; the only thing that will stop them is home-made speed and the rugged outlaw chemist in thesouped-up GTO is ... Josh Hartnett? Once again, afew errors in casting do nothing to diminish thefun.

1. “House of 1000 Corpses” and “The Devil’sRejects” (2003/2005)

Homicidal rednecks are the scariest thing aSouthern person can imagine. Rob Zombie’s hilari-ous and needlessly graphic double feature winsfrom the first bucket of fried chicken to the guns-blazing, “Freebird”-blaring finale. And Sid Haig isterrific.
