When the Fall Semester com-mences on Aug. 17, pharmacystudents will be busy workingfor their doctor of pharmacydegree. With a new dual-degreeprogram at UT, they now havean opportunity to add anothertitle to the end of their name:master of business administra-tion.

The dual-degree program,approved by the Board ofTrustees in June, is part of aneffort to provide pharmacy stu-dents with the business savvythat can help solve problems intoday’s pharmacy industry.

Peter Chyka, vice chair for theCollege of Pharmacy’s KnoxvillePrograms, is excited to offerpharmacy students marketablebusiness skills that can beapplied to the world of pharma-cy.

“The program is tailored forthe pharmacy graduate who seesa career path in both pharmacyand business,” he said. “Theentire business aspects of phar-macy and drug therapy areincreasingly more complicatedthan they were in prior years.Therefore, there are a lot ofopportunties for students withskills and knowledge in businessand pharmacy to make a bigimpact in the industry.”

Amy Cathey, executive direc-tor for the MBA program, con-curs that pharmacy studentswith a background in businesswill be able to fix problems inpharmacy and improve theindustry as a whole.

“There is an important needfrom employers in the pharmacyindustry for people who are bothclinically trained and understandbusiness,” she said. “Studentswho have skills in business canbecome leaders in the pharmacyindustry. We expect our dual-degree students to have a com-

petitive advantage in the jobmarket.”

The program, which will takeapproximately five years to com-plete, is available to pharmacystudents on both the Knoxvilleand Memphis campuses. Afterstudents finish their pharmacydegrees, they will continue on tothe College of BusinessAdministration in Knoxville topursue their MBA.

Chyka recommends that phar-macy students interested in thedual-degree program not pro-crastinate on declaring theirpath towards an MBA.

“It is important for them todeclare early in their curriculumthat they are interested in theMBA pathway,” he said. “Thisway, we can give students elec-tives in business that will helpprepare them for the MBA pro-gram.”

Since the program wasapproved in June, Cathey saidthere has been an enthusiasticresponse from pharmacy stu-dents.

“There has been a greatresponse from students,” shesaid. “Some have told us thatthey had expressed an interest ingetting an MBA after they werefinished with pharmacy.”

This dual-degree program is anew addition to the College ofBusiness Administration’s multi-tude of dual-degree offerings.Cathey said this is the sixth dual-degree program for the college.

“We offer MBAs with a vari-ety of different programs at UT,including law, economics andengineering,” she said.

While the dual-degree pro-gram will require hard work anddiligence from its students,Cathey said she knows that anMBA complements many differ-ent degrees.

“The MBA is a great degreeto pair with technical knowledgeand gives our students an advan-tage in their careers,” she said.

The College of Business Administration at UT is giv-ing back to U.S. military veterans by providing financialsupport for any of the college’s master’s or Ph.D. graduateprograms.

The scholarships are a part of the Yellow Ribbon G.I.Education Enhancement Program, which provides institu-tions such asUT with theability to fundt u i t i o nexpenses thatexceed the in-state tuitioncosts. UT willbe able towaive up to50 percent ofthe costs, andt h eD e p a r t m e n tof VeteransAffairs willmatch thew a i v e damount.

The YellowR i b b o nP r o g r a mgives 10 eligi-ble veterans amaximum of$3,000 a yearthrough theu n i v e r s i t yand is matched with another $3,000 from the Departmentof Veterans Affairs. While the financial support will notexceed the full cost of tuition and fees, veterans will beable to use the money to pursue any master’s or Ph.Ddegree in the College of Business Administration.

The current G.I. Bill provides 100-percent funding fora public four-year undergraduate education for eligiblemilitary veterans. However, graduate programs in UT’sCollege of Business Administration often have fees thatare not covered by the G.I. Bill. Now the Yellow RibbonProgram is giving some veterans the opportunity to pur-

sue graduate degrees in business by helping them offsetthose additional costs.

Amy Cathey, executive director for the master’s inbusiness administration program, is confident the schol-arship will provide more financial assistance for tuitioncosts and fees.

“We are very fortunate that as a public university, ourcosts are lower for veterans than other institutions,” shesaid. “The Yellow Ribbon Program provides a little extra

help for thosecosts.”

Implementedafter Sept.11, 2001, theY e l l o wR i b b o nProgram is apart of thePost-9/11 G.I.Bill thatbecame lawin 2008. TheG.I. Bill origi-nally startedin 1944 as ameans of pro-viding WorldWar II veter-ans with col-lege andv o c a t i o n a leducation.

KateA t c h l e y ,director ofthe executiveMBA program

at UT, thinks that giving back to veterans is part of theuniversity’s spirit.

“These men and women have voluntarily put their liveson the line for the United States,” Atchley said. “We arethe Volunteer State, and the university prides itself ontheir name, the Vols, so to recognize their service by giv-ing veterans this opportunity goes well with our volun-teer spirit.”

UT communications professor John Haas won theFranklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarshipin Freedom of Expression for a recent book that he co-authored.

The award recognizes outstanding scholarship in theareas of free expression and freedom of speech and wasawarded to “The Communication of Hate” co-authorsJohn Haas and Michael Waltman of the University ofNorth Carolina.

“Michael and I have been friends, and both of us havebeen part of academia for a long period of time,” Haassaid. “I met Mike when I was working on my master’sdegree, so I have known him for about 30 years.”

Each of the co-authors’ interest in the topic wassparked by different events in their lives.

Waltman’s interest in how and why people broadcasthate messages was kindled when his son was very young.

“Mike was very, very interested in how messages affect-ed people, and after he had his first son, he was increas-ingly concerned about the messages youngsters wereexposed to, and in particular, on the Web,” Haas said.“Mike brought to this a personal interest of learning whyit is people are trying to promote, in this case, hate andthe ways in which they are trying to do that.”

Haas learned from a very young age the effects thathate speech can have on society, especially if a largeamount of people believe in the hate speech being trans-mitted.

“My path to it was a little bit different,” Haas said. “Mymother lived in Germany during World War II. For me,growing up, I heard stories of the awful consequences ofhate and what people are capable of doing to each otherand the ways in which they defended or explained or tried

to promote those ideas. So that, for me, sparked an inter-est in why does the people promote hate and how it isthey go about doing it, and how some are able to persuadea large number of other individuals to engage in behaviorwhich, on the surface, appears to be horrendous.”

“The Communication of Hate” covers different aspectsof how hate speech affects people and how people broad-cast hate speech.

“We do several different things,” Haas said. “We startout by explaining how we might think about hate speechand the role hate plays in this.”

Haas said sometimes in society people use hate as away to show anger or frustration against something thathas happened in everyday life.

Hate speech focuses on turning an entire class of indi-viduals into a class of sub-humans, he said.

Students in the UT Army ROTC program practice drills in World’s Fair Park onFriday, Feb. 29, 2008. The College of Business Administration will begin provid-ing financial support to veterans of the U.S. military seeking master’s or Ph.D.degrees.

1939 — Einstein urges U.S. atomic actionFrom his home on Long Island, New York, German-born physicist Albert Einstein writes to

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, urging “watchfulness and, if necessary, quick action” on the partof the United States in atomic research. Einstein, a lifelong pacifist, feared that Nazi Germany hadbegun work on an atomic bomb.

Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity drastically altered man’s understanding ofthe universe, and his work in particle and energy theory helped make possible quantum mechan-ics and early atomic research. As a German-born Jew, Einstein fled Germany for the United Statesafter Nazi leader Adolf Hitler seized power in 1934.

In the summer of 1939, fellow expatriate physicists Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner and EdwardTeller, profoundly disturbed by the lack of American atomic action, enlisted the aid of Einstein,hoping that a letter from such a renowned scientist would help attract Roosevelt’s attention.Einstein agreed to the venture because of his fear of sole Nazi possession of the deadly weapon, apossibility that became especially troubling after Germany ceased the sale of uranium ore fromoccupied Czechoslovakia. After reading Einstein’s letter, Roosevelt created the UraniumCommittee, and in 1942 the highly secret U.S. and British atomic program became known as theManhattan Project. Einstein had no role in the Allied atomic bomb program.

On July 16, 1945, an international team of scientists successfully tested the world’s first atom-ic bomb in the New Mexico desert. Three weeks later, two U.S. atomic bombs were dropped onJapan, one on August 6 and one on August 9, resulting in the eventual deaths of more than200,000 people. Albert Einstein deplored the use of the deadly weapon against the population cen-ters of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and after the war he urged international control of atomicweapons.

1939 — Freddy Krueger creator Wes Craven bornOn this day in 1939, Wes Craven, the man responsible for terrorizing millions of moviegoers

with his Nightmare on Elm Street series and Scream trilogy, is born in Cleveland, Ohio.Craven, who graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois and received a master’s degree in writ-

ing and philosophy from Johns Hopkins University, began his directing career with 1972’s TheLast House on the Left, a violent teen horror film for which he also penned the screenplay. Hewent on to direct a string of low-budget scary movies, including The Hills Have Eyes (1977),before cementing his reputation as a master of blood and gore with 1984’s Nightmare on ElmStreet, about teenagers in the fictional town of Springwood, Ohio, who are terrorized by night-mares of the gruesomely disfigured child killer Freddy Krueger, played by Robert Englund. Themovie was a box-office success and spawned multiple sequels. Freddy Krueger became an iconicvillain and even did battle with another big-screen horror icon, the hockey mask-wearing Jasonfrom the Friday the 13th series, in 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason. Nightmare on Elm Street also markedthe feature-film debut of a then-unknown Johnny Depp. After going on to starring roles in Cry-Baby (1990) and Edward Scissorhands (1990), the actor made a cameo appearance in 1991’sFreddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare.

Craven went on to direct The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985) and The People Under the Stairs(1991) before making his blockbuster film Scream (1996). Scream, about a serial killer stalking agroup of teenagers, poked fun at slasher-film conventions while still managing to frighten audi-ences. The film’s cast featured Courteney Cox, Drew Barrymore, David Arquette, Neve Campbelland Skeet Ulrich. Craven also helmed two hit sequels to the film, Scream 2 (1997) and Scream 3(2000). In 2005, he directed the well-reviewed horror film Red Eye.

Craven has occasionally set aside the gore and stepped out of the horror genre to direct suchfilms as the 1999 drama Music of the Heart, which starred Meryl Streep as a music teacher in theNew York City public school system.

“Human beings tend tothink in terms of categories,”Haas said. “We literally can’tnot think about other people,unless we’re thinking aboutthem in terms of categories:liberal, conservative; old,young. For many people, if wehave a negative association tosome group, we are able to sup-press it. For some segment ofthe population, they are reallynot able to suppress thosebeliefs, for whatever reason,and they feel very comfortablemaking clear they think thisone class, or several classes,are not the equivalent of the ingroup they are part of.”

Although the book coversvarious aspects of hate speech,it also looks at domestic, aswell as foreign hate speech.

“The electronic corner haschanged the way that peoplewho are engaging in hatespeech will operate,” Haassaid. “For example, inGermany, it is illegal to useswastikas or any other symbolsthat are associated with Nazisor to openly engage in hatespeech. What ends up happen-ing is that those people thatare proponents of a particularbelief — and they are usinghate speech to advance theircause — will get service in theUnited States.”

Towards the end of thebook, Haas and Waltman makethe argument that, althoughthey are against the dehuman-ization that hate speech seeks,they are not against a person’sFirst Amendment right to beable to say what he or shebelieves is correct.

“The Communication ofHate” was published in January2011, and the co-authors wereinformed of receiving theaward in early July 2011.

“John Haas and his co-author have produced an out-standing work of scholarshipon a very important topic,”said Mike Wirth, College ofCommunication andInformation dean. “As the col-lege and the university striveto encourage and promote civil-ity on campus and throughoutthe community, this bookmakes us more aware of theproblems associated with hatespeech and helps us learn howto combat it.”

While this program has been around since2008, Atchley notes that the Yellow RibbonProgram is new to UT this year.

“The Yellow Ribbon Program has beenaround since post-9/11, but UT has not par-ticipated in the program until now,” she said.“We decided that it was important for the uni-versity, and the College of BusinessAdministration in particular, to help post-9/11military veterans continue their education.”

Cathey said the 10-year delay came downto finding sufficient funding.

“The reason why it has taken us a littlewhile to start this program is because eachcollege is responsible for finding money tosupport the Yellow Ribbon Program,” shesaid. “Since we are currently working withthe U.S. Air Force, we found some of that

money to help pay for the program and pro-vide this service to veterans interested incoming to the university.”

While the scholarships will certainlyencourage veterans to pursue degrees in busi-ness, Atchley said the program will benefitthe college by adding quality students to theroster.

“We have found that our strongest studentsare often military veterans,” Atchley said.“We certainly hope that the program willimprove diversity in the college, and webelieve the Yellow Ribbon Program willencourage these bright minds to come andstudy here at UT.”

Cathey agrees that veterans are a specialaddition to the MBA program.

“We consistently have a small number ofveterans who come through our program, andthey are excellent students,” Cathey said.“These students are very mature, very hardworkers and are motived to succeed. We think

it will improve the quality of discussion in theclassroom. Most of our vets have spent timeoverseas, so they have a global perspectivethat they bring in to the class.”

Veterans will have to be deemed eligible bythe Department of Veterans Affairs in orderto receive the scholarships.

According to the Yellow Ribbon Programwebsite, a veteran must be a College ofBusiness Administration graduate student ingood standing and must have a Post-9/11 G.I.Bill (Chapter 33) Certificate of Eligibility,showing Yellow Ribbon Program eligibility.

Veterans who qualify for the program willnot only improve their education, but theywill also assist in improving the university’sservices to its military veterans.

“This program will help us be a little moremilitary friendly and help us reach the needsof people in the military, who are looking forthe next step and moving into a businesscareer,” Cathey said.

This week, I decided to go search the Internetfor excellent examples of human stupidity. Well,it wasn’t hard to find such examples. So, here area few newspaper headlines and stories that I foundparticularly amusing.

Headline: “County to pay $250,000 to advertiselack of funds.” The sad thing is, it probably worked.

Headline: “Volunteers search for old Civil Warplanes.” All right, if you don’t get it I’ll tell youtwo things. One: there were no planes in the CivilWar. Two: I’m very sorry.

Headline: “Caskets found as workers demolishmausoleum.” Really? Imagine that! There werecaskets in a place that was designed to hold caskets!What a big surprise.

Headline: “An Australian Army vehicle worth$74,000 has gone missing after being painted withcamouflage.” Well, at least it worked.

Headline: “10 Commandments: Supreme Courtsays some O.K., some not.” Ten laws written bythe same God, they’re all equal. I can promise youthat.

Headline: “Utah Poison Control Center remindseveryone not to take poison.” Really? If they feltthe need to remind people of that, they might beunder the influence of some poison themselves.

Headline: “Breathing oxygen linked to stayingalive.” Maybe those people who needed to bereminded not to take poison also needed to bereminded to breath.

Headline: “Federal agents raid gun shops, findweapons” This is even stupider than beingsurprised at finding caskets in a mausoleum.

This one may be my favorite: “Statistics showthat teen pregnancy drops off significantly after age25.” Well, that’s just stupid. Teen pregnancy makesthat drop off at age 20.

Headline: “Study shows frequent sex enhancespregnancy chances.” I wonder if that is before orafter age 25?

Headline: “Deer kill 17,000.” Maybe they foundthat gun shop that had weapons in it.

Headline: “Man struck by lightning faces batterycharge.” I don’t even know what to say to that one.

Add for a used mower: “Lawn mower tends tocatch on fire but put out easily with garden hose:$30.” I commend the honest idiot who tried to sellit. I condemn the idiot who actually bought it.

Headline: “17 remain dead in morgue aftershooting spree.” The story that should have beencovered is why on earth someone ever started ashooting spree in a morgue.

Headline: “Worker suffers leg pain after cranedrops 800-pound ball on his head.” Something isdefinitely wrong here. That guy must have had onethick head.

Quote within an article: “Laure said he starteda small fire in the car to keep warm but put thefire out when he started getting dizzy ... The car,a rental vehicle, was heavily damaged, accordingto firefighters.”

Headline: “Anthony’s Dry Cleaners has beenworking on the same spot for 15 years.” I think thatthe general public would be better served if theywent to another cleaner.

This one is great: “Lawyers back despite use ofbug spray.”

Headline: “People think aliens must be moresmarter than us.” Well, I’ll be surprised if we everfind any that are dumber.

Headline: “Total lunar eclipse will be broadcastlive on Northwoods Public Radio.” I want to knowhow that worked.

Quote within an article: “Debra Jackson said shelikes shopping at the Dollar Palace because it isconvenient and causal. ‘I don’t have to get alldressed up like I’m going to Wal-Mart orsomething,’ she added.”

Headline: “Bill would make it illegal to breakrules.” I think that bill was already passed.

Headline: “Hospitals resort to hiring doctors.”I hope that wasn’t their last resort.

Don’t you just love those? Stupid headlines areproof of several things. One word can have greatpower. Misinterpretations can be hysterical, ordangerous.

When I started my journey at UT this time in Augustof 2007, I had no clue what the next four years had instore for me. All I knew at that point was that I wantedmore than anything in the world to be an OrientationLeader so I could do the rocky top dance, and that Ineeded to finish reading some book and write a paperabout it. Academics, majors, post-graduation, really anysolid life plans were missing from my mind at that time.But I was excited, and I wasn’t going to be living withmommy anymore!

For me college was the place where I thought I couldtruly be me. It was the place where I was going to sitaround and have random intellectual conversations. Iwas going to be accepted for me, and I could find otherswho shared my experiences. That first year was sucha whirlwind of emotions, experiences and opportunities.From those experiences I began to learn so much aboutmyself and through that learning process was madeaware of my surroundings.

What I was expecting from college was also whatdisappointed me the most. At first the hurt anddisappointment was overwhelming, but I found peopleat the university who supported me, people who helpedme find my voice. I found people who valued theauthentic me.

Finding your voice and your passion will truly makeyour college experience. Granted we come to get adegree and to focus on a specific area of study, butwithout a sense of authenticity and self-worth how drivenwill we be after graduation? I think that is a mistake alot of people make when they come to college; they havethese grand ideas of what life will be like and how collegewill fix them. But they don’t realize that they themselvesmust play a crucial role in creating their own experiences,being an active agent in their own stories.

My disappointment with campus support for LGBTpeople served as a catalyst in identifying my values andgoals as an individual. I had to critically analyze how

my thoughts and emotions fit in with my environment,and how I could best express and articulate others’and my experiences to my peers and administrators.Doing so was not easy, and I owe many thanks to studentaffairs professionals at UT for enabling me to find myvoice. Using the voice that we find in ourselves isn’talways the easy thing to do, especially when you’re thelone voice in a big room. It can be disheartening mostcertainly, but it can also be the most rewarding thing.The reward is the feeling of authenticity, because werealize that what we are doing is what is right. We’redoing it because our heart calls us to do so, not becausewe want to be perceived a certain way.

If I could give the freshman class any advice it wouldbe to stop seeking false validation. Stop seeking praisefor accomplishing things others want of you.Accomplishing others’ goals for you to receive personalvalidation is incredibly inauthentic. And at the end ofthe day, are you happy because others are happy withyour completion of their desires, or are you happybecause you achieved what is most important toyourself?

It’s a fine line that we dance upon when we obtainour freedom from our parents. Branch out, meet newpeople, explore yourself and your values, questioneverything — even what your parents say. Just becauseyour parents hold certain values doesn’t mean theyare yours. I believe we learn the most valuable lessonswhen we make ourselves vulnerable by stepping outsideour comfort zones.

The University of Tennessee’s motto is Veritatemcognoscetis et veritas te liberabit: “Know the truthand the truth shall set you free.” That phrase is aproposto the college experience. The personal journey weendure isn’t a mere four-year experience but a lifelongventure for authenticity. College is merely the beginning.

So wherever you are in your college experience:Pursue your own dreams, not those of your parents.Seek personal joy, ditch validation of the inauthentic selfand strive for the genuine self. You can do it, I promise.Just let yourself free and find a mentor. There are somany amazing people at UT who are cheering for you,just open your ears and listen.

THE GREAT MASH-UP • Liz Newnam

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker hitthe nail on the head earlier in July, when he beggedCongress to let “common sense” reign in the debtnegotiations. He obviously wasted breath.

As the Beacon was going to press on Monday evening,a potential debt deal had been brokered betweencongressional leaders and the president. Plans undercongressional negotiation consisted of a $2.4 trilliondebt ceiling increase through 2013, with $917 billion inspending cuts over the next decade. A special committeewould also be called to negotiate $1.5 trillion in additionalcuts, with automatic cuts kicking in if compromisecannot be reached. Looking at the success rate ofWashington compromise, let’s hope they choose theautomatic cuts wisely.

Intense political struggle focused on the deficit isnothing new in the arena of American politics. Politicianshave historically opposed enormous deficits andexperienced varying degrees of success in reducingthem.

The federal government has been completely debtfree only once in American history, when PresidentAndrew Jackson cleared government debt in 1835.He managed to keep America in the green for a littleover a year.

Jackson’s temporary accomplishment came with aheavy price. He financed his triumph by selling offgovernment owned lands in the West and ambitiouslyvetoing any and all spending projects. He also abolishedthe national bank.

With the government running a surplus, state bankswere inundated with money, which they proceeded toprint. In a doomed attempt to forestall the land bubblecrisis, Jackson mandated that government lands bebought in specie as opposed to currency. Hindsight’s20/20, but that was a stupid move. The economy crashedand the government went right back into debt.

While Jackson was obviously no economist, he hadgood intentions for deficit reduction. Keynes pioneeredthe usefulness of government debt as a force ofstabilization for the economy, but too much debt has

historically been destructive. When debt reaches a levelwhere default is possible without increased borrowing,any nation can become trapped in a downwardeconomic spiral. Once a deficit reaches critical mass ...see Wiemar Republic.

The trickiest question of all, however, is what exactlyconstitutes critical mass. Today the total debt is hoveringaround 98 percent of U.S. GDP according to the U.S.Treasury. That figure is startling to say the least, butbear in mind that debt was around 130 percent of GDPafter WWII. Like a grassy lawn, the deficit naturallytends towards unkempt sprawl. Mowing is never fun,but it is still periodically necessary.

Essentially, the U.S. deficit has inched its way intothe danger zone. Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s havethreatened to call the neighborhood association. Thisis not the time to panic or to nay-say about economiccollapse, but rather a time to change course. If significantspending cuts are not made, the nation could be settingitself up for an unstable future.

Lawmakers still don’t seem to entirely understandthe gravity of this situation. According to Stuart Varney,the proposed solution still adds $7 trillion to the alreadyexorbitant debt. Standard and Poor’s has suggested thatin order to maintain a AAA credit rating, Congresswould need to drastically reduce entitlement programsand make $4 trillion in spending cuts. Even if automaticcuts are triggered, lawmakers have exempted SocialSecurity and Medicaid from any decreases in funding.This is perhaps the most grievous error in the entireplan, considering that these two allocations comprise43 percent of the federal budget. With Social Securityonly years from bankruptcy, lawmakers are once againskirting the important issues to bring meaningful reform.

Throughout America’s history, politicians havegenerally stepped up to keep expenses in check whenneccesary. After the Civil War, WWI, and WWII,lawmakers made it a priority to bring the debt downto a manageable level. There is no magic number forthe deficit, but there are some rules of thumb. Whenthe credit rating is threatened, so is national economicsecurity.

Like previous generations who battled large deficitsto protect U.S. solvency, our nation’s leaders must nowmake some tough choices. The American people musttrust Congress to preserve our nation’s economic future.We’ll see how these guys stack up to Jackson.

Tuesday, August 2, 2011 The Daily Beacon • 5ENTERTAINMENT

Robby O’DanielNews and Student Life Editor

The sheer lack of advertisement for Showtime’s new half-hour comedy, “Web Therapy,” might suggest there is noth-ing special about it.

Its timeslot goes a step further. Much of Showtime’s orig-inal programming fills up the spots on Sundaynights and Monday nights, but “Web Therapy” isat a bit of a death slot, Tuesday nights at 11 p.m.

But like her fellow “Friends” cast mate MattLeBlanc on “Episodes,” Lisa Kudrow has foundnew comedic life with her jump to Showtime.

Potential viewers need to know up front: Thisis not a show for everyone.

HBO’s “In Treatment” is a hard show to recom-mend because it is physically demanding on theviewer to stay enraptured by an episode of just asingle conversation between two people.

“Web Therapy” uses the same basic philosophy,a series full of bottle episodes in one setting withjust people conversing, but it tries to vary thingsup by having multiple three-minute conversationsbetween Kudrow and the various supporting char-acters.

The show centers on Fiona Wallice (Kudrow),who comes off as a rich, narcissistic, hostile, yet bored,woman. She endeavors to fill her time by starting up a kookyenterprise, three-minute therapy sessions over the Internet.The sessions are held to three minutes because when shedid 50-minute sessions, Fiona says, they were full of super-fluous things like memories and feelings, which add up tonothing in her mind.

For people who call “In Treatment” daring for its format,the “Web Therapy” creators deserve even more points fortheir guts because viewers only see Fiona’s computer screen.On her Mac, viewers see Fiona and whoever she is videochatting with. It remains to be seen whether “Web Therapy”will stick to this claustrophobic hook or stroll off the pathlike “In Treatment” occasionally does.

The main series strength is, ironically, its star. Kudrow,who puts on an amusingly fake-sounding elegant accent forthe role, dives into the bumbling character’s persona, whileeveryone else on screen plays the straight man.

Phoebe was easily the most annoying cast member on“Friends” back in the day, so it’s a relief that Kudrow hasembraced an entirely different character here.

Eventually the show will have to expand its characteriza-tion a bit more to remain entertaining, but for the pilot, thisstatus quo provides laughs.

Another potential series difficulty is how much exposi-tion to include in the therapy sessions. Since it is the pilot,some exposition to set the stage is expected. But that open-ing conversation with Fiona and her husband screamed

exposition from time to time. More conversa-tions that serve basically to give viewers infor-mation instead of to simply serve as scenesmight prove a misstep. It is an easy mistake tomake when writers are confined to a computerscreen, which could be an interesting hook forthe pilot but more limiting than funny later on.

The show also has got to stop titling seg-ments. Before each conversation, the seriesshows a black screen with white text thatserves as the title to each segment. More thanonce, the title either gives away the point ofthe segment or the segment’s funniest line.

Ultimately “Web Therapy” is an amusinghalf hour, but it will be interesting to see howthe show decides to grow from here. If it staysstuck in gimmick mode, it should not movepast a first season. But the potential is certain-ly there for humor.

The show’s series premiere is available for free via YouTubeat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r-bjD2y95M orShowtime’s official website athttp://www.sho.com/site/order/preview.do#/Web_Therapy_s01_e01.

“Web Therapy” promising, needs guidance

Tuesday, August 2, 20116 • The Daily Beacon THESPORTSPAGE

Matt DixonSports Editor

August is here, and that means football is on the hori-zon.

“I know everybody is excited, I certainly am,” UT coachDerek Dooley said Monday. “One thing that I always thinkis important any time you turn the clock and there is a newphase where you have some specific goals for what you wantto accomplish in training camp as we always do with ourteam, there are a whole bunch of them but the gist of it iswe want to first establish a foundation of core values thatdefine how we compete and how we work together as ateam.”

The Volunteers kickoff fall camp today, with two speratesessions — one for newcomers, one with veteran players.Splitting up the team allows the freshmen and other under-classmen to adjust to the tempo of a college practice andalso allows them more one-on-one time with coaches.

“I don’t care what team you have, every year you have tostart over on those things such as attitude and discipline

and toughness and effort — it’s the same stuff,” Dooleysaid. “We aren’t reinventing the wheel. We always want toimprove fundamentally and learn all of our technical aspectson offense, defense and special teams. This will be especial-ly important this year given how young we are. This isgoing to be a very important training camp to evaluate ourpersonnel across the board.”

RRuunnnniinngg bbaacckk lleeaavviinnggRunning back Toney Williams, a junior who has played a

reserve role the past two seasons, is transferring. Williamsimpressed coaches during spring practice after enrollingearly in school in January 2009, but suffered a torn ACLsoon after and never seemed to return to his pre-injuryform. He carried the ball five times for 11 yards last season.

FFeeeett aanndd sshhoouullddeerrssSophomore defensive end Jacques Smith broke a bone in

his foot the last week of spring practice, but Dooley said heis a “full-go” for fall camp.

Junior linebacker Herman Lathers is “still a couple ofmonths away” from being able to play after also breaking abone in his foot during the summer.

Freshman offensive line-man Antonio Richardsonhad shoulder surgery in thespring, but is not 100 per-

cent and is listed as day-to-day, according to Dooley.Freshmen defensive backs Tino Thomas and Geraldo

Orta underwent shoulder surgeries over the summer andare not currently listed on the team’s roster. With new SECrules, schools can only bring in a certain number of new-comers each year, and with the players already on the team,only one more spot is open for either Thomas or Orta,meaning one could potentially want to enroll in school inJanuary, a practice called “grayshirting.”

AAuussttiinn JJoohhnnssoonnDooley also announced senior linebacker Austin

Johnson would not be suspended for his arrest on July 25,and his punishment would be handled “internally.”

“We were all disappointed when we read the news andwe are disappointed any time a player makes a bad choicethat puts a negative light on our program,” Dooley said.

MMoorree tthhaann aa ddeeeepp tthhrreeaattSophomore wide receiver Justin Hunter made the most

of his 16 receptions last year, scoring seven touchdowns.Now weighing 192 pounds, Hunter is looking to become amore complete wide out for the Vols after inheriting astarting role with the departures of Gerald Jones andDenarious Moore to the NFL.

“I just don’t want to be a deep-ball guy,” Hunter said. “Iwant to make catches across the middle.”

Austin Johnson makes a diving tackle on a UT Martin runner during a game onSaturday, Sept. 9, 2010. Johnson will remain on the team despite off-the-fieldactivities with punishment being handled “internally.”
