Honors Programgets a makeover

UK will not only be makingroom for new dorms but also for anew Honors Academy, beginningnext fall.

“We are in the early stages ofdiscussing the expansion we areplanning for next fall of the uni-versity’s Honors Program — anew Honors Academy,” said Presi-dent Eli Capilouto in an email tothe Kernel.

The new Honors Academy hasbeen in planning for the past fouryears, and is now making its finallap of approval before being im-plemented in the fall.

Frank Ettensohn, the directorof the Honors Program, said thenew program needs to go thoughUndergraduate Studies and then beapproved by the UK Senate.

“We are very confident it willbe approved,” Ettensohn said.

As UK has made the shift to

UK Core for general education,departments and programs acrosscampus have taken the opportunityto re-examine the ways they teachand engage students.

“Honors was ready to look athow our curriculum could workwithin this new model and buildon a rich tradition of rigorous, ex-citing courses for students,” MegMarquis, the senior academic co-ordinator of the program, said inan email to the Kernel.

She said the program has “al-ways cultivated intellectual curios-ity for our students” through un-dergraduate research, interdiscipli-nary seminars and educationabroad.

“But the development of anHonors Academy will give us theresources to reach every studentand develop the most meaningfulundergraduate education for himor her,” Marquis said in the email.

Plan calls for more tracks, courses and requires research project

Coming off its first win inclose to a month, the UK foot-ball team was optimistic forits “blackout” game Saturdaynight against MississippiState.

That optimism quicklyvanished as MSU jumped outto an early lead it would neverrelinquish, defeating UK 28-16.

UK’s game plan on of-fense was thrown for a loopearly when starting quarter-back Morgan Newton first leftthe game first with a rightshoulder injury, then later forgood with what head coachJoker Phillips suspects is ahigh right ankle sprain. Thatleft freshman Maxwell Smithto command the offense forthe majority of the game.

Despite facing a top-20defense nationally and almostno notice before being insert-ed into the game, Smith heldhis own against the Bulldogsto the tune of 26-33 for 174yards, no touchdowns and nointerceptions. All things con-sidered, Smith’s performancewas one of the better, if notthe best performance undercenter UK has had all seasonlong.

“It started off a littleshaky, and I actually messedup two plays,” Smith said.“After that, I was good. Mynerves definitely settleddown, and I played pretty

After every song, Taylor Swiftwould not say anything. She wouldsimply stand on stage soaking it all

in, her mouthslightly open, andglance up to theleft, and then to theright. It was suffi-ciently awkward,but you would dothe same if thescreams you elicitare louder thanthose for the entire-ty of the UK bas-ketball team put to-gether.

Caroline Goode,a math-economics freshman,summed up the crowd demographic.

“I love Taylor Swift,” Goodesaid. “The little kids next to me areannoying though.”

The legendary crowds of RuppArena reached a whole new deci-bel Saturday evening as TaylorSwift took the stage for her SpeakNow World Tour. The audiencecould only be described as a pre-teen rave party, with mostly younggirls sporting glowsticks, T Swift

t-shirts, and screams that miracu-lously would not tire or cease. Co-ordinated efforts produced lit signsthat spelled out “We love Taylor”and “13” (Taylor Swift’s luckynumber).

The opening act, a pleasant ex-perience provided by country-rock

hybrid Need to Breathe, tradition-ally warms up the crowd beforethe main attraction, but this crowdneeded no such warm-up.

LOS ANGELES — Continuing the evolu-tion of its digital strategy, the CW televisionnetwork said Friday it would offer onlinestreams of new episodes through Hulu and theHulu Plus subscription service.

The five-year deal with Hulu comes justtwo weeks after the CW, a joint venture be-tween CBS Corp. and Warner Bros. Entertain-ment, announced a similar partnership with Net-flix. Netflix will make available episodes ofpast seasons of CW shows, including “GossipGirl” and “Vampire Diaries,” to its subscribers.

The Hulu deal is different because theservice, owned by media giants News Corp.,NBCUniversal and the Walt Disney Co., willhave the exclusive right to stream episodes ofsuch new CW shows as “Ringer” and “Hart ofDixie” as well as returning series. Financialterms were not disclosed.

The two deals mark a major switch instrategy for the small broadcast network,which until now had tightly held the digitalrights to its shows. In a bid to protect its TVratings, the network delayed the online avail-ability of its episodes and steered viewers to

its own advertising-supported CW website.But by striking deals with such major

players as Netflix and Hulu, CW is carvingout a new revenue stream, which should even-tually allow the network — launched in 2006— to finally become profitable. Episodes willcontinue to be available on the CW’s ad-sup-ported website.

The CW said Hulu Plus would be the onlyonline subscription service to carry currentepisodes of nine of its shows. Beginning laterthis year, the five most recent episodes of itsprime-time series would be made available tosubscribers the day after the television broad-cast, the CW said.

Meanwhile, the free, ad-supported Huluservice will offer episodes of the CW’s currentseason programming eight days after theyaired on the network — a pattern similar towhat the CW had been using for its own web-site.

News Corp.’s Fox adopted a similar ap-proach with current episodes of its broadcastshows, including “Glee” and “New Girl.”

of the current program, butthe program will also be re-cruiting faculty throughoutthe university to teach moreof a variety of courses, shesaid.

Right now, an Honors stu-dent can choose between two15-hour tracks, world food is-sues or western cultural her-itage.

With the new academy,new courses will be available,along with a variety of newtracks for students to choosefrom.

“The new tracks will lookattractive to students, as wellas give them an opportunityto explore their interests,” Et-tensohn said.

Honors students will alsohave the opportunity to partic-ipate in a variety of researchprojects on topics concerningtheir majors, as well as work-ing one-on-one with faculty.

Allyson Hughes, a biolo-gy sophomore, thinks the newacademy is a good develop-

ment.“It will give students the

opportunity to take classes re-lating to their specific majorwhile in the program,” shesaid.

Ettensohn said studentswill be required to do a re-search project and then pres-ent it to a board of members.

Researching will providestudents with hands-on learn-ing experiences both insideand outside the classroom, hesaid.

Around 250 students areaccepted in the Honors Pro-gram each year.

“With the new program,we hope to also gain the es-sential resources necessaryfor the number of students inthe program to grow,” Etten-sohn said.

Breanna Shelton, an agri-cultural biotechnology sopho-more, said the new HonorsProgram is beneficial to those“willing to put forth an effort.”

She said it is different thanother courses because thereare seminar-based classes,which allows for one-on-onediscussion.

Shelton said she hasenjoyed the past three semes-ters in the program.

“I’m excited to see whatthe new program has to offer,”Shelton said.

good.”But as Phillips and UK

continued to trade field goalsfor MSU touchdowns, thespread began to widen.

With just over eight and ahalf minutes remaining in thethird quarter, UK venturedinto the Bulldogs’ red zonefor the third time, trailing 21-6. Phillips chose to settle fora third field goal on fourthdown, cutting the lead to 12,rather than risking a chance ata first down and potentially atouchdown later in the drive.With the score at 21-9, bothUK and MSU had scoredthree times on the evening-MSU with three touchdownsopposed to Craig McIntosh’sthree field goals for UK. That12-point differential wouldstand to be the difference inthe final score.

“I did consider it,”Phillips said. “We neededsome points, down 21-6. Itwas still early in the secondhalf is the reason why we de-

cided to kick the field goal,because it was early in thesecond half. We thought we’dhave more opportunities.”

Early in the fourth quar-ter, sophomore running backJonathan George took a carryfour yards for the Cats’ onlytouchdown of the evening.With the score at 28-15 andthe extra point awaiting, UKcould have attempted a two-

point conversion to cut thedifference to 11. With an 11-point differential, as opposedto 12, UK would have onlyneeded one touchdown (witha two-point conversion) andone field goal as opposed totwo touchdowns.

Instead, UK elected tokick it for one point, a movethat would later impact UK’sfinal drive of the night.

Late in the fourth quarter,UK drove inside the MSU20-yard line with its eyes ona comeback. Had UK evenattempted to cut the lead to11, the Cats would have hadthe option of settling for afield goal if a fourth down

was forced. Eventually it was,but UK failed at the fourth-down conversion, costing theteam a chance at a victory.

When asked about the sit-uation following the game,Phillips seemed confused,then said the thought to go

for two never crossed hismind, citing he never wantedto attempt a two-point con-version before the fourthquarter (UK scored its onlytouchdown with 13:50 re-maining in the fourth).

“No,” Phillips said. “Wewanted to try to wait till wegot in the fourth quarter to gofor two.”

Offensively, Smith wasable to find a comfort zone insenior wide receiver MattRoark, who has struggled attimes this season. The popu-lar scapegoat by fans frustrat-ed with UK’s ineptitude pass-ing the football caught 13passes (half of Smith’s com-pletions for the game) for 174yards, providing a reliableunderneath target for the in-experienced freshman.

“It felt good to have agood game and have somecareer firsts for me, but it wasa loss, so I’m still down aboutthat,” Roark said, “and I willbe for a while.”

CoShik Williams experi-enced success rushing the ballagainst MSU for the secondweek in a row, rushing for 67

yards on 15 carries.Defensively, the Cats

were able to slow down theBulldogs’ rushing attack, butit was the passing of bothTyler Russell and Chris Relfthat burned UK. Combined,the two MSU quarterbacksfinished the game 15-21 for164 yards and two touch-downs. UK was led on de-fense by senior linebackerDanny Trevathan, whose 17tackles, forced fumble and in-terception against MSUhelped the Cats win theturnover battle for the firsttime in conference play.

“I just want to be a greatleader and create great play-

ers,” Trevathan said. “I justwant to play with these guysand create great memories. Ijust want to be the best playerthat I can be and try to stayhumble and put my best footforward.”

UK is joined by Ten-nessee and Ole Miss as thelone winless teams in theSEC. UK will get a shot atOle Miss next Saturday athome, in a battle of whatsome consider the two worstteams in the conference.

Phillips said after Smith’sperformance against MSU,and Newton’s health in ques-tion, the quarterback positionwould be an open competi-tion this week for the gameagainst the Rebels.

“Usually the backupquarterback, especially ayoung backup quarterback,he needs to get hit a coupletimes till he starts paying alittle more attention, starts toprepare himself like he’s astarter,” Phillips said. “I thinkMaxwell will do that becausehe’s going to have an oppor-tunity to compete for thestarting job.”

said. A plush red curtain was pulled open

to deafening screams and Taylor Swiftsinging “Sparks Fly.”

The stage and scenery could be de-scribed as a Swift-style fairy tale. Agold staircase led up to a gazebo, with adigital screen in the back portraying vi-sual imagery of Swift’s songs.

The show was visually pleasing inits production. It was sometimes morelike a play than a concert, with actorscoming on stage to perform.

Actors dressed in country-nostalgiaclothing sat on a dimly lit porch and ac-companied “Our Song” and “Mean,”and then snow began falling as actorsdressed in black-tie played violin toSwift’s piano for “Back to December,”cleverly and innovatively intertwinedwith One Republic’s “Apologize.”

Each song offered something new,whether it was a new act or new specialeffect (really, the only predictable partof the concert were Swift’s open-mouthed glances to the left, and then tothe right).

Swift herself came off as a bit arti-ficial. She relied on the music and theshow to entertain, more so than herpersonality. Everything she said to theaudience was overtly corny and super-fluous.

“I really love coming to see youguys. I think you guys are so ridiculous-ly nice,” she said to a fresh roar fromthe crowd. “You guys are so cool.”

Her heart was in the right place, thedialogue just came off as a bit insincere.

But we do not go to concerts to besincere. We go to concerts to be enter-tained and to hear good music, andSwift did not disappoint. Her lyrics areclever, often moving, and it is a tributeto an artist when each song is just aswell known as the next.

From initial songs like “Mine” and“The Story Of Us” to “Fearless,” andfinished off with “Love Story” as Swiftfloated around a basket-balcony contrap-tion to the crowds in the upper deck,each song was sung just as loudly as thenext by the crowd, with tears and afresh round of screams handy for eachand every conclusion.

Swift also began to noticeably tire,

even to the point of admitting it herself. “My voice is not exactly here

tonight,” Swift said. “But I love youguys.”

Often, she pulled the microphoneaway for a quick and subtle cough be-fore putting on a smile and bravely con-tinuing. Voice ailments were forgottenby the time she finished her first setwith “Long Live,” dedicated to all ofher adoring fans (whose voices andscreams, unfortunately, were not asshaky as Taylor’s).

You cannot help but leave a Swiftconcert smiling. If you like her music, itwas everything you expected it to be. Ifyou don’t like her music, you still lefthumming each tune. It was sometimeshard to take her seriously. Her tacky di-alogue with the crowd didn’t help, andwhen she tried to be serious with moreemotional songs like “Last Kiss” and“Never Grow Up,” a poorly timed roundof screams erased any type of sobertone she was trying to set.

But as I said, you couldn’t helpsmiling. What she lacks in genuinenessshe makes up for in sweetness, and herendurance through and passion for hersongs, despite the voice problems, wasadmirable.

“In sickness and in health I ab-solutely adore you,” Swift said, finish-ing with a slow glance to the left, andthen to the right.

It’s hard to not adore you too, Tay-lor.

UK opera singers tookthe stage in the production of“Romeo et Juliette,” closingon Saturday.

The women donned ele-gant long dresses and the menwore tights and dress of theirown fashion, giving the oper-atic performance the tradition-al look of Shakespeare’s origi-nal Romeo and Juliet.

“We have beautiful cos-tumes and beautiful sets, andthe audience gets the oppor-

tunity of seeing another timeperiod,” Stephanie Sundine,director of the opera, said.

Differences existed be-tween Shakespeare’s originalwork and the opera, writtenby Charles Gounod. For in-stance, the original piece byShakespeare began with afight between the Capuletsand Montagues, while theopera began with an extrava-gant party.

Gounod gave Romeo’spageboy a more importantrole, including a name. Ste-fano added a high-pitched vo-

cal to lessen the tension andadd comic relief to the play.Stefano was played by twowomen, Melissa Snow-Graves and Laikin Simonsplayed the part.

“Having a double cast al-

lowed for more singers tohave a chance to perform,”Sundine said. “It is extreme-ly important for singers oftheir age to have experience.”

Regardless of which per-formers they saw, audiences

left impressed. “This beingmy second time watching theopera, I found there weremany differences, but thequality of the singers soundedprofessional,” MargaretCollins, a former operasinger, said.

Action was not lost inthis rendition of Shake-speare’s romantic tragedy.The sword fights betweenTybalt and Romeo and Tybaltand Mercutio were as “terri-fying” as Sundine wantedthem to be. The fight, choreo-graphed by Bryan Robertson,

was scary and vivid. Thedeath of Mercutio and Tybalttore at the heartstrings of theaudience.

The fight for forbiddenlove was clearly shown inthis opera. The Romeos andJuliettes formed a true con-nection that was expressed inthe performance.

“It’s a rare chance to seeone of the famous operas byGounod,” said John Greer,vocal coach for the opera.“The public is very lucky tosee the masterpiece right attheir doorstep.”

The planned blackoutby UK was a success, witha majority of the fans play-ing along with the “gim-mick.”

The uniforms worn bythe players made them lookmuch more athletic andsleek than any Cats squadseen in quite some time,adding to the expectationsSaturday night.

More importantly, theblackout was successful inthe sense that the Cats wereblacked out by the Missis-sippi State Bulldogs 28-16,which made the entire gim-mick come full circle.

After starting the gamewith so much energy andexcitement, the Cats laid anegg.

Rick Minter’s defenseproved to be overmatcheddespite a great performanceby senior linebacker DannyTrevathan, with his 17 totaltackles and one-handed in-terception.

Injuries were abundantearly and often. They mostnotable was to junior quar-terback Morgan Newton and

junior wide receiver La’RodKing.

Even with their injuries,the Cats found some hopein freshman quarterbackMax Smith and senior widereceiver Matt Roark, whoseplay this season has been avanishing act.

Smith finished the game26-for-33 for 174 yards.Many of his completionscame on the signature UKbubble screen. Of his 174yards, Smith connected withRoark on 13 of those passesfor 116 yards.

Though for the Cats, itwasn’t the nagging injuriesthroughout the game thatcould be viewed as theproblem. Their most prob-lematic area lied in that ofthe inconsistent play call-ing.

Following what ap-peared to be the so often oc-curring three-and-out, UKhead coach Joker Phillipsdecided to trick the Bull-dogs’ special teams and treatthe fans with some unpre-dictability. Upon receivingthe snap, senior punter RyanTydlacka launched from hispunt formation and sprintedup the sideline for a UKfirst down that eventuallyled to a field goal.

It was with that fieldgoal that the life in the sta-dium was sucked out and

the Bulldogs took control, asthey jumped out to a 14-3lead by the end of the firstquarter.

More field goals ensued,but it was with the Catstrailing 21-6 in the thirdquarter that my questioningand the boos arose forPhillips’ choices.

Rather than trying to gofor a touchdown, the playcalled was yet another fieldgoal.

“It was still early in thesecond half is the reasonwhy we decided to kick thefield goal,” said Phillips.“We thought we’d havemore opportunities.”

Phillips went on to addthat, “the thing that hap-pened to us is every time wescored, they would comeback down and score touch-downs. We’d kick a fieldgoal, get three. Got us to 7-3. They would come rightback and get it 14-3. Wewould get another field goal,six. They would come rightdown the field and make it21-6. The field goal, like Isay, it was early in the sec-ond half, early enough in thesecond half we thought, let’sget away from here withsome points.”

So if they were continu-ously answering, why not gofor the touchdown?

For so many times dur-ing not only this season, butpast seasons, dating back towhen Rich Brooks was thehead coach, UK’s play call-ing has been inconsistent,yet the example of not an-swering with a “risky”touchdown leaves everyonepondering.

During postgame inter-views, junior center MattSmith went with the expect-ed response.

“You know, you alwayswant to get the touchdown,but it was coach’s decision,”Smith said. “We got thefield goal, but just didn’tcapitalize later in the gamewhen we had the fourthdown chance.”

The questioning of gamemanagement wasn’t overquite yet when, at the startof the fourth quarter withthe Bulldogs lead relativelyin hand at 28-9, the Cats fi-nally decided to take the“big risk.” That choice ledto a first down on an 11-yard completion from fresh-man quarterback Max Smithto sophomore wide receiverBrian Adams and a touch-down two plays later.

Although it capped thedrive with a touchdown,why not attempt the two-point conversion?

If they had done so, they

then would have trailed by11, meaning, barring anothertouchdown by MississippiState, that the Cats couldhave went for two yet againand making the game abarn-burner that could havepotentially put junior kickerCraig McIntosh in the spot-light for a game-tying fieldgoal.

When asked about thepossibility of going for two,Phillips said, “No. We want-ed to try to wait till we gotin the fourth quarter to gofor two.”

As confusing as hisgame management, Jokerfailed to realize that histeam’s final touchdowncame with 13:50 remainingin the fourth quarter.

Some could say thatPhillips wasn’t comfortablein putting his freshmanquarterback in such a situa-

tion.To that I would say you

are 3-4 on the season withan offense that has beenabysmal for nearly all ofthose games. What do youhave to lose? The game Sat-urday night against Missis-sippi State was a now-or-never situation with the op-portunities to acquire mo-mentum for a bowl pushdwindling.

It seems that I am be-coming repetitive in thesethoughts as the season hascarried on, but the offen-sive coaching staff isn’t do-ing anything to help spark achange in momentum be-cause obviously, the“blackout” tonight wasn’tthe key.

The UK hockey team hit the ice in fullforce Friday night, blasting in-state rivalLouisville 14-0.

It’s not often that a hockey game sees 14goals scored by a single team, but UK jumpedon Louisville from the start, when freshmanforward Charlie Hales scored in the firstminute.

Junior forward Dylan Rohar added twomore goals in the first period, and tacked onanother in the third period to earn a hat trick.

UK lost no momentum going into the sec-ond period. They were able to come out andplay physically, generating turnovers and win-ning the battle for loose pucks.

Louisville turnovers, coupled with cleanpassing and offensive possession, led to threemore goals in the second period.

UK’s offense dominated in the final peri-od. The Cool Cats made a statement to the

Cards, scoring eight more goals to put themaway.

Senior assistant captain Sean McLaughlinhad the team’s second hat trick of the night,adding three goals of his own in the third peri-od.

UK was able to stay out of the penalty boxfor much of the game, and capitalized on pow-er play opportunities. A five-minute majorpenalty by a Louisville player kept UK on thepower play, and the offense was able to takeadvantage of the extra man on the ice.

“We were able to work on a few thingsfrom practice,” senior captain Billy Glass said.“The five-minute major gave us a lot of timeto work on our power play, so that helped us.”

What if I told you thatthere was a way to potentiallyend oppressive regimes in theMiddle East? What if I toldyou that countries such as Iran,Syria and Libya would take aneconomic hit that would seri-ously hamper their ability topromote terrorism, build dan-gerous military capabilitiesand no longer give them animportant weapon to useagainst other countries thatthey deem unfriendly? Theway to do this is to simplystop buying oil and invest inalternative energy.

Just look at the percentageof governmental revenues thatcome from oil that these coun-tries rely on. Iran, 70 percent;Syria, 25 percent; Libya, 75percent. The same is true forvirtually all other Middle East-ern countries with high re-liance on revenue from oil.Guess what country consumesthe most oil: the U.S.

We spend about $700 bil-lion a year on oil from foreigncountries. Imagine what Iranwould look like with a 70 per-cent percent cut of funds. Idoubt they would spend mon-ey on a nuclear program, aspace program or any otherpotentially threatening pro-gram.

I wonder how many mis-siles Hezbollah in Lebanoncould launch over the borderinto Israel. How would Iranfund covert terrorist operationsto kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq?Even if we put a small dent inthe amount of oil we buy itwould still mean less money inevil regimes coffers.

If we want to reduce Iran’spresence on the world stagewe do not have to send introops or try to pass interna-tional sanctions on theireconomies, we simply need tostop buying oil. The govern-ment needs to start heavilyfunding research on alternativeenergy.

I think that any universityin America would jump at the

chance to receive a govern-ment grant to find alternativeenergy sources and potentiallyunlock the power of unlimitedenergy.

This is an issue that Re-publicans and Democrats cancome together on as well. De-mocrats would embrace theidea because it could potential-ly do good for the environ-ment and Republicans wouldlike it because it invests in ournational security.

Imagine a world in whichthe names Iran, Syria,Lebanon, Libya and Venezuelaare no longer relevant on aworld stage. How can the U.S.condemn the governments ofthe countries and then turnaround and support theireconomies?

Some may argue that itwould take a long time to getresults from research. Howev-er one must consider the oilwe could produce ourselves inthe meantime. If we wouldeliminate restrictions on whereand when we can drill, andhow far off the coast, and fo-cus on what would definitelybe gained instead of whatcould be potentially lost indrilling we could producemore oil.

The U.S. has oil under theground, and if it is there, whyare we not using it? Why arewe buying it from the MiddleEast if we could get it hereand support companies andcountries that are appreciativeof us?

It is time the United Statesof America becomes self re-liant. It is time the U.S. stopssupporting oppressive regimesin the Middle East. It is timethe U.S. showed the world thatthey do not support regimesthat threaten world peace.

Some may argue that wecannot afford to spend moneywe do not have to fund re-search but the alternative ismuch worse. It is a means toan end.

TYLER WORTHINGTON, Kernel cartoonist

With fame typ-ically comes for-tune; and many ofUK’s student ath-letes certainly havefame. Their fortunecomes from theuniversity andamounts to $116,956 in scholarshipmoney over fouryears that pays fortheir tuition, hous-ing, textbooks,

food, tutoring and all student fees. These are not the only perks of

being a student athlete. UK also paysfor players school supplies, access tocomputer labs and player lounges,medical costs and even travel ex-penses for family emergencies andfunerals or clothing funds if needed.

This may seem like a fortune tothe typical college student accumu-lating loan debt. Yet the amount ofreimbursement these players receiveis minimal when one considers thatthe SEC earned more than $1 billionin revenue from last year’s footballseason; or that the NCAA earned$771 million from CBS and Turnerto broadcast last year’s basketballtournament; or that Coach John Cali-pari earned more than $4 million lastyear. The reality is that universitiesthroughout the NCAA have restrict-ed student athletes’ benefits to onlyan education on the basis that theyare simply “amateurs.”

UK fans spend a great deal ofmoney to dress in merchandise rep-resentative of players’ numbers,faces and names. UK fans wearmock jerseys, jorts and drink JohnWall shots. Surely these fans do notview these beloved players as ama-teurs.

And neither do athletic compa-nies that sign million dollar endorse-ment deals with universities for stu-dent athletes to wear uniforms deco-rated with their logos. Coaches, ath-letic departments, the NCAA, adver-tisers, video games and more allprofit and they do not give a pennyto the student athletes.

Now, I’m the first to admit that Iknow little about sports, I don’t careabout sports and the outcome of aUK game will certainly have no ef-fect on my mood; but still, I knowthe names of the starting UK men’sbasketball and football players, Iown fan apparel representative ofstudent athletes and I watch and at-tend games.

College sports are not a part ofmy life for the exceptional coachingstaff or love for the game; I’m sim-ply a UK student that wants to cheeron my team.

The issue of providing athleteswith some form of payment has beenof recent debate and it’s evident thatthe NCAA and universities are ex-ploiting student athletes at an ex-tremely high cost.

The notion of universities payingstudent athletes a salary is contradic-tory of schools’ main purpose. A uni-versity is first and foremost an insti-tution of knowledge. Issuing studentathletes a salary would interfere withthe most prominent reason they arethere: to get an education.

Salaries could also negatively af-fect a student athlete’s decision.Rather than choosing a school basedon its academic merits, coachingstaff or team, student athletes maybase their decision solely on thesalary they will receive, creating un-fair recruiting advantages. Salariescould also lead to legal issues with

Title IX or unionization. It also must be realized that UK

has one of the few athletic depart-ments in the nation that earns a prof-it; but providing student athletes’ astipend to pay for living costs is un-realistic. While football and basket-ball players may earn large revenuefor the university, they compriseonly a small fraction of UK’s totalstudent athletes, and stipends wouldhave to be provided to all studentathletes. The cost would be colossal.

The “Olympic model” is theonly effective way to compensatestudent athletes. Olympic athleteswere once barred from making mon-ey from their talent and personalbrand as well. However, the induc-tion of the Olympic model allowedOlympic athletes to earn revenuefrom outside personal sponsorships,including product endorsements,book signings and appearances.

This method allows a studentathlete to freely market his or her-self, and it would cost the NCAAand universities nothing. The playerwould be responsible for managingthis extra-curricular activity, and theNCAA and universities could requirea contract to guarantee sponsorshipsdo not interfere with their own en-dorsements, practices, games or aca-demics or else the athlete will bekicked off the team.

This model rewards student ath-letes’ talent. The principle of ama-teurism ended when student athletesstarted bringing in mass amounts ofrevenue for their school and otherorganizations. Student athletesshould be capable of earning a for-tune equivalent to their fame.

da committed a serving errorwith UK leading 10-9. Fromthat juncture, the Cats reeledoff five points in a row towin 15-9.

The last point of thegame was a monster killfrom senior hitter Becky Pa-van, which sent the crowdinto jubilation.

“We knew this was goingto be a great game,” Pavansaid. “They are a toughteam. In our minds we hadthe idea that we were goingto win this game.”

The Cats were anchoredon offense by juniors Whit-ney Billings and Ashley Fra-zier. Billings tallied 17 kills,with Frazier notching 16kills for the day. Both hadscoring percentages above.300 during the match.

“The nice thing aboutwhat Frazier and Billings didwas that they had a lot ofkills, but did not error verymuch,” Skinner said. “Hittingover .300 with that many at-tempts is a credit to them, tobe able to understand whenand how to kill the ball.”

Florida played a solidmatch as well, as the Gatorshad five players with double-digit kills on the afternoon.Senior Kelly Murphy ledFlorida with 15 kills againstUK.

“Florida is a toughteam,” Skinner said. “Theyput a lot of pressure on youwith their serve, as everyonesaw today. You have got toweather the storm, and Ithought we did a really nicejob of passing the ball in the5th game. It was a huge rea-son why we were successful.Our defense was awfullygood. It broke down a little

bit at times, but it was therewhen we needed it.”

UK improved its recordto 21-4 overall and 12-2 inleague play. Florida headedhome with three loses inconference action, whichleaves only Tennessee aboveUK in the East standings.

Last Friday evening, theCats notched an impressivewin over South Carolina 3-0(25-17, 25-17, 25-20) at Me-morial Coliseum. Defensewas once again pivotal, assophomore defensive spe-cialist Jessi Greenberg tallied17 digs. The Cats offense to-taled 50 kills for the match,led by Frazier with 14.

The next home game is7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4,against Mississippi State.

The Cats will look tokeep momentum intact andexact revenge on the Bull-dogs after losing in Starkvillethree weeks ago.
