Students have a chance to put theirname in the hat to help the university selectits 12th president.

A committee has been created to selectstudents to be on the presidential selectioncommittee. Applications are currently on-line and available for students to fill out.

Micah Fielden, Student GovernmentSenate President who is planning on apply-ing, is very glad that students get an oppor-tunity to participate in such a role with theuniversity.

“This is an amazing opportunity topick the individual that will control the di-rection and mission of this University inthe future,” Fielden said. “Students need tomake sure we are hiring a President thathas goals in line with our needs and de-sires.”

SG Chief of Staff Joe Quinn agreeswith Fielden on the role being a greatchance for students to shape the universityto students.

“The student representatives will be thevoice of the student body during the selec-tion process,” he said. “The new Presidentwill have a large effect on the future direc-tion of the University, so it is important forstudents to give their input.”

Some students, like history and classicssenior Katie Reynolds, think it would be agreat opportunity to be part of the commit-tee.

“I would really like to [apply and serveon the committee], but I already have toomany things to do,” Reynolds said.

Being on this committee is a way to leave

OXFORD, Miss. – The score-board said Ole Miss beat UK 42-35on Saturday at Vaught-HemingwayStadium. Derrick Locke had a dif-ferent idea.

“We’re a good team, we’re justkilling ourselves,” UK’s senior tail-back said. “We are killing ourselves,man. The way that score shouldhave been at half time, everybodyknows what it should have been. Weshould have been in the lead. We setthem up to score.

“We created a monster wecouldn’t control.”

The Cats (3-2, 0-2 Southeastern

Conference) rolled to an early leadbefore three first-half turnovers un-leashed the Ole Miss offense. Juniorreceiver Randall Cobb fumbled,leaving the Rebels (3-2, 1-1 South-eastern Conference) within 11 yardsof a touchdown. They capitalized.Senior quarterback Mike Hartlinewas intercepted and defensive backCharles Sawyer returned the ball tothe nine. The Rebels punched it in.Senior wide receiver Chris Matthewsfumbled in UK territory, and OleMiss took a 21-14 lead they wouldn’trelinquish the rest of the way.

More than 200 students heard from Jo-hannesburg, South Africa Thursdayevening.

Students and visitors met in Kastle Hallto watch “Have You Heard from Johannes-burg?,” a seven-part documentary that focus-es on the anti-apartheid struggle in SouthAfrica. Students participated in a discussionfollowing the film with guest speaker Collegeof Arts and Sciences Dean Mark Kornbluh.

Kornbluh made viewing this film seriespossible and encouraged participants to“think about this story in reference to theAmerican Civil Rights Movement.”

"The film is powerful, emotional andreally brings the story [of South Africa] tolife,” he said.

The series focuses on the struggles ofSouth Africa and took more than 15 years todocument.

“I am looking forward [to seeing thefilm], I think it will be very interesting,” sec-ond year nursing student Elizabeth Doughtysaid.

Doughty is enrolled in “South Africa &Kentucky: Different Lands, CommonGround,” a course taught by Arts and Sci-ences Special Projects Manager LaurenKientz that highlights the little-known simi-larities between the country and state and in-troduces students to cross-cultural opportu-nities on the UK campus.

Bluegrass for college.Alito spent her first two

years at UK studying textilesand merchandising but had achange of heart two semestersbefore graduation.

“I was a contrarian,” shesaid. “I didn’t want to have todeal with the business aspectof the textiles major. Every-body else on campus was do-ing business.”

She switched her major tocomparative literature and re-ceived her bachelor’s degreein 1975. Two years later, shecompleted her master’s de-gree in library science.

She was also active oncampus as a student athlete;Alito played both field hock-ey and women’s lacrosse atUK.

Several years later, shefound herself in the public eyewhen her husband, Samuel Al-ito, was appointed to the U.S.Supreme Court in 2006. In“One Letter Home,” she re-counted stories of the pa-parazzi blocking off her streetafter Justice Alito’s appoint-ment was official and reportersreducing her daughter to tearsat a high school swim meet.

How does Alito handle allof the stressful press atten-tion?

“Sixty-five percent cocoa.Dark chocolate,” she said,prompting laughter and under-standing from the audience.

The dean of the UK Col-lege of Law, David Brennen,found Alito’s life experiencesfascinating.

“Her life is one that any

law student should strive tohear, know, and experience,”he said.

Deputy Chief JusticeMary Noble, the 2010 recipi-ent of an annual award pre-sented by the Hellenic IdealsProgram, invited Alito to re-turn to Kentucky to give thislecture for the same reason.

“Judges are a dime adozen. They speak all thetime,” Noble said. “It’s thefamily of a judge that makesit possible for them to dowhat they do.”

At the end of the lecture,both Martha-Ann and JusticeSamuel Alito were honored asKentucky Colonels.

Concealed carry aims to deter crimeSAFECATS should be the firstchoice for students, no excuseKERNEL EDITORIAL

Thanks to the series ofcampus-area robberies,many students have proba-bly thought twice beforewalking back to their resi-dence halls alone at night.

SAFECATS, or “SafeAnd Free Escort for Cam-pus Area Traveling Stu-dents,” provides security forUK students as they travelcampus after hours.

According to theSAFECATS website, the es-cort service is availableSunday through Thursdayfrom 8:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.,excluding university holi-days, breaks and summer.

“Safety escorts aretrained annually by the Uni-versity Police Department,carry a Police issued radiogiving them direct contact

with the University PoliceDispatch and undergo a pre-liminary criminal back-ground check before theyare permitted to serve as asafety escort,” the SAFE-CATS website said.

As an additional pre-caution, the SAFECATSwebsite says that studentswho call to request an es-cort can ask to see officialSAFECATS identificationbefore being escorted.

A Sept. 27 Kernel arti-cle said that escorts aremembers of the FlyingWildcats Booster Club,which is comprised of 140Air Force Cadets in ROTC.The article also said due tothe recent robberies, SAFE-CATS upped the number ofescorts from two per night

to six.SAFECATS is also

considering maintaining theincreased number of cadetson duty and the frequencyeach cadet member works,according to the article.They are working to add asecond golf cart for studenttransport, as well.

Students should add theSAFECATS number, 257-SAFE, to their cell phonedirectories to have the num-ber at hand if ever theyneed to travel across cam-pus late at night.

More students shouldtake advantage of this freecampus service. No one canput a price on safety, and byusing SAFECATS studentshave less of a chance ofrunning into danger.

As a concealed carry licensee, I am awareof the numerous laws regarding the use of aweapon for self-defense.

The laws are written in such a mannerthat an individual initiating the use of deadlyforce for self defense and the defense of oth-ers must be 100 percent correct in their beliefthat they or someone else are in immediatephysical danger.

As part of the training to get your license,the instructors make several points. First, Ifyou are being robbed, your best action is toconcede the robbery. Second, money andcredit cards can be replaced — do not esca-late the situation if the invent is solely for arobbery.

However, in the case of Ms. Herringtonand her experience from a few years ago, shewould be 100 percent justified in her use ofdeadly force.

I have read similar articles stating that al-lowing licensees to carry on campus would betantamount to armed vigilantes roaming thecampus. My response to these claims is theyare not at all familiar with Kentucky statutesregarding concealed deadly weapons.

I also hear claims of escalation betweencriminals and citizens. Would escalation not

happen if the university employed moreplain-clothed officers? You cannot distinguishone from a student or an officer. The claim isthat more guns on campus equal escalation.Then additionally, would not more uniformedpolice officers on campus lead to more esca-lation?

The point is, campuses are or can be sta-tistically more prone to increased crime ratesbecause criminals are assured the possibilityof an individual able to defend themselves de-creases on campus.

This belief is compounded by the fact thatcollege campuses have many

young women upon which to pray. Thereare other areas to target if authorized studentswere allowed to carry their weapons.

Yes it is better to be mindful of your sur-roundings, but sometimes that is not enough.You must be 21 to carry, meaning your fresh-man party animal will not be carrying.

A gun (or weapon) in hand is better thana cop on the phone. The police and govern-ment see greater benefit to concealed carrythan harm, otherwise there would be no con-cealed carry permit.

share of mistakes to open thesecond half. Ole Missmarched 75 yards on eightplays in the opening drivethanks to 30 yards on twopersonal foul penaltiesagainst UK, scoring again.

“We did a good job stop-ping them, but giving them30 yards on penalties, youcan’t win on the road likethat,” junior linebacker Dan-ny Trevathan said. He fin-ished with a game-high 15tackles. “We’ve got to get ourheads together.”

UK’s offense stalled untillate in the fourth quarter withthe outcome all but decided.The loss was another depar-ture from last season’s suc-cess on the road, when theCats went 3-1 in hostile SECstadiums while limiting

turnovers and penalties.“We cannot turn the ball

over and give them a shortfield,” UK head coach JokerPhillips said. “We thought wehad the momentum, but thenwe gave it to them, andturned it over two more timesin the first half. That is reallyfrustrating.”

Despite trailing by asmany as 21 points in thefourth quarter, the Cats gavethemselves a sliver of hope atthe end. A late touchdownpass to Matthews pulled UKwithin a touchdown, and Tre-vathan nearly recovered anonside kick with about aminute and a half to go beforethe ball was knocked out ofbounds. Trevathan said that acast he’s wearing on his bro-ken left hand might have pre-vented him from recoveringthe kick and giving UK onefinal chance.

But UK had given theRebels one too many chances,

as they ran the clock out.“Those turnovers are the

most precious thing youhave,” Rebels coach HoustonNutt said. “When you getthose turnovers and capitalizeon them, that’s huge. That re-ally won the game for us.”

After failing to win whatmany had considered a primeopportunity for the Cats tosteal one on the road, they’llhead home to face three moreSEC teams with their seasonon the line.

“I don’t take anythingpositive from this one,” sen-ior defensive tackle RickyLumpkin said. “It might beme reading too much into it,but there’s nothing positiveabout it. There’s opportunitiesthere where we could haveput them away.

“We beat ourselves onceagain, it’s a reoccurring thing.Ya’ll know it. We know it.And for some reason, wedon’t fix it.”

something at UK long afteryou’ve graduated, Fielden said.

“Students only have a fewyears to make a difference oncampus and help enhance theexperience of those coming inthe future,” he said. “The se-lection of a new Presidentwill have an impact long pastthe four years of undergradexperience at UK.”

Reynolds said it is goodfor students to have an oppor-tunity to voice their opinionsand have a role in the selec-tion of the next president.

“The University worksfor the students,” Reynoldssaid. “We should have a sayin the selection of its presi-dent.”

Fielden said he wants a pres-

ident that is there to hear the stu-dents concerns on issues andtake their point of view.

“I feel that being a part ofthis search committee would bea great way to ensure our nextpresident will be as sensitive tostudent's needs as our past presi-dent,” he said.

According to the onlineapplication, students willneed to explain why theywould like to be part of thecommittee and well as ex-plaining what characteristicsthey feel the next presidentshould possess. A resume isalso required for those wish-ing to apply.

If selected, students alsoneed to be able to give at least 10hours per week to work with therest of the committee.

The student selection com-mittee will select three under-graduates and three graduate stu-dents to be on the presidential se-

lection committee. “After the applications have

been submitted, a committee ofstudents from SG and other or-ganizations will select three un-dergraduate students and threegraduate students to nominate,”Quinn said. “The Board ofTrustees will then select onegraduate and one undergraduatestudent.”

Fielden described theideal applicant.

“We need an outspokenstudent, an advocate that isnot afraid to speak up to theboard members on this com-mittee when it comes down tothe difficult process of select-ing our next President,”Fielden said.

OXFORD, Miss. — Sat-urday was a distressing day forBlue and White enthusiasts.

UK playedugly when itcouldn’t af-ford to, andit cost itselfa win.

T h eCats suf-fered onet h i n gcoaches ofall sportsfear — im-plosion. Itbegan with

a dropped pass or a missedblocking assignment, and itended with a seven-pointloss to Ole Miss. It wasnothing but a simple chainreaction.

“Today, we beat our-selves,” UK defensive coor-dinator Steve Brown said.“But our kids fought whenmost people would have giv-en in. That showed a lot ofcharacter.”

In disagreement withBrown, individual playersgot down on themselveswhen trailing for the secondconsecutive week, a trend

UK head coach JokerPhillips should hope to cor-rect immediately.

“We had control of thegame,” Phillips said. “Wethought we had the momentum,but then we gave it to them…That is really frustrating.”

Play calling and execu-tion on both sides of the ballwas questionable, to say theleast. The Cats all but aban-doned the run for a period inthe first half, and then whenthey threw, it was foryardage too short or unnec-essarily long.

It would be tough for UKto beat even a high schoolprogram if they were to allow21 points off turnovers, asthey did against the Rebels.Giving up another touchdownthanks to a pair of personalfoul penalties on the defenseon one drive didn’t help.

The game should havebeen around a two- or three-touchdown victory for UK,but a game can’t be won byletting the opposition takepossession of the ball insidethe 10-yard line, and by bail-ing the team out of toughspots with mental mistakesall the way down the field.

A 0-2 start to conferenceplay probably wasn’t onPhillips’ to-do list this fall,but it’s what he has to workwith now. With the approach-ing three games taking placein the confines of Common-wealth Stadium, UK desper-ately needs to come up with astring of wins. If the Catsplay similarly against any oneof their next three opponents,they will surely lose.

It often happens in sportsthat a game will be close, butthe score will not reflect it.Saturday, it was the opposite.Rare was a point where it feltlike UK had a chance tocome out on top in the sec-ond half, but the final deficitwould say otherwise.

“Right now, we’re disap-pointed,” Hartline said. “Wedidn’t think this was going tobe an easy win, by anymeans, but it was a goodchance for us to go on theroad and win...I think ourteam unity is as strong as it’sever been.”
