kernel Friday is getting a makeover.Sports & Entertainment, built for you!

Students walking the paths of UK maynot know what lies beneath their feet.

Since the campus’ establishment in1865, university-hired developers and en-gineers have cultivated an undergroundtunnel system running the expanse ofcampus grounds.

Many of these tunnels cater to practi-cality for utilities that maintain the univer-sity’s inner workings.

Fred Wells, the supervisor over main-tenance on campus, said the tunnels serveto regulate domestic cold water, chill wa-ter and the heating and cooling facilities.

The tunnels were usually built whenthe buildings were built, Wells said.

However, not all tunnels on campusare connected. The primary tunnel sys-tems pass between Patterson Office Towerand White Hall and underneath the engi-neering complex.

The tunnel system between Pattersonand White Hall provides students and staffthe option to walk underground betweenbuildings— an advantage for the fast ap-proaching winter months, said KevinKreide, the director of physical plant atUK.

“I love them,” said Andy Lewis, anatural resource conservation senior. “Ilike them because nobody knows aboutthem and I can go between places with-out anyone knowing. It’s nice during

Technological advancementshave put many products on thebottom shelf.

VHS tapes were replaced byDVDs, which are now being re-placed by Blu-Ray discs. Televi-sion shows can be recorded andfast-forwarded through. Peoplecan rent movies On-Demandwithout stepping foot outside thehouse.

“In this digital age, radio hassuffered less than its mass mediacounterparts like broadcast televi-sion and newspapers,” said JohnClark, associate professor in theSchool of Journalism andTelecommunications.

However, UK’s campus radio

station, WRFL 88.1 FM, does notshy away from the challenge ofadapting to advanced music lis-tening technologies.

Founded in 1988, WRFL-FMruns continuously with no au-tomation and no commercials.

“We are for folks who areburnt out on mainstream stationsand do not want to listen to com-mercials and automated playlists,”said Ben Allen, WRFL/WSTVstudent media adviser.

Listeners can tune in 24 hoursa day, seven days a week.

Facebook is increasingly usedby disc jockies to interact with lis-teners, Allen said.

“Facebook is essential forpromotions,” he said.

Matt Gibson, WRFL generalmanager, said Facebook and Twit-

ter are used to promote specialevents like concerts, on-air inter-views and performances.

“Many of our deejays haveFacebook pages for their shows

and use them to promote the sta-tion,” Gibson said.

WRFL-FM is making its owntechnological advancements.

A new website is currentlyunder construction and is expect-ed to become active at the begin-ning of next year.

The new website will allowfor more than the current 100 si-multaneous online listeners.WRFL-FM is also in the processof redesigning its logo, Allen said.

Even with advancing tech-nologies integrated into WRFL-FM, directors, deejays and advis-ers agree that WRFL-FM is fo-cused on one thing: its listeners.

Professor winsNational Book

Award

As Nikky Finney began her acceptance speechfor “Head Off and Split” — the 2011 winner of theNational Book Award for Poetry — on Wednesday

evening, one might have mistakenit for a poem.

But it was just Finney, theProvost’s Distinguished ServiceChair Professor of English at UK,being who she was and living,“the only life I’ve ever wanted,the life of a poet,” she said.

Finney thanked her publisher,her partner A.J. Verdelle, her father and mother andthe other finalists, saying “simply to be in your fi-nalist company is to burn.”

Finney was teary-eyed as she continued herspeech, which would explain her emotion as an

Kinesiology classes fillup quickly for students

Kinesiology and Health Promotioncourses fill up fast, but many upperclass-men are questioning why they are not get-ting into their required KHP courses.

Ellie Goodman, a kinesiology major,plans to graduate in December.

Since beginning her college career atUK, Goodman has had to request at leastone override each semester to enroll in re-quired KHP courses, she said.

“Even as a senior, I am going to haveto try and get three overrides for this up-coming spring semester,” she said.

Without these overrides, Goodman’sexpected graduation date will be pushedback a semester.

Melody Noland, chairwoman for thedepartment of kinesiology and health pro-motion, said the problems senior kinesiol-

ogy majors are facing is the result of a 52percent increase in KHP majors in the lasttwo years.

Noland said the KHP department isaware of the difficulty seniors are havingscheduling required classes.

“We are really working hard to accom-modate the students,” Noland said.

Craig Cooley, a transfer kinesiologymajor, also had to request an override forKHP 157, or track and field.

Cooley said he suggests KHP classesoffer more class times or more seats perclass.

To help add classes and seats, a KHPcore content course email was created forstudents to requests overrides.

Originally, students requesting over-rides had to go directly to the teacher ofthe specific course. This email accountstreamlines the process, Noland said.

“Nick Cappy began scuba diving when

he was 15 years old, living for a brief timein Grenada.

“I fell in love with the sport,” he said,and life since then has been an internation-al experience ... underwater.

Cappy’s scuba journeys have takenhim from Belize, to the Bahamas, to Cali-fornia and everywhere in between, finallylanding him at land-locked UK.

Not that that stopped him.Cappy, a junior double majoring in

economics and marketing, is the presidentof the recently formed Scuba Cats.

“We tried to start it freshman year,”Cappy said. “It officially became a clublast spring, and we started holding meet-ings this fall.”

Scuba Cats is seeking to recruit mem-bers, partly through their Discover ScubaDiving class.

On Monday, 40 people came out toLancaster Aquatic Center to learn theropes of breathing underwater.

“It was a great time,” Cappy said. “Wehad a lot of people come out.”

Interested students hopped in the wa-ter and learned crucial scuba skills, suchas mark removal and taking out their regu-lator. After a 30-minute class, the fledglingdivers had a chance to go underwater andscuba dive in the pool.

“Happy Feet” wasn't a great movie, but itwas tolerable because the 2006 release hadstrong musical performances and a sweet storyabout being an individual.

The sequel, “Happy Feet Two,” doesn’tmeasure up. It’s a jumble of unrelated charac-ters, forgettable soundtrack and story that willleave you as cold as a penguin’s bottom. Theonly thing it has going for it is spectacular an-imation that makes the creatures look lifelike.

This time around, Mumble (voiced by Eli-jah Wood) is dealing with fatherhood. His son,Erik (Ava Acres), feels different because hecan't dance like all of the other penguins, so heruns away from home. While Mumble is try-ing to get Erik back, a massive iceberg blocksthe entrance to the valley where the penguinslive. Mumble must find a way to save the dayand his best hope is a “flying penguin” namedSven (Hank Azaria).

Because this story is so simplistic, thegroup of writers headed by director GeorgeMiller have added a secondary story about two

krill (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon) who go on amission to move up the food chain. This story-line eventually connects, but it’s an interrup-tion most of the time.

Granted, there’s not much to interrupt. Thestory is so thin that fun voice talents likeRobin Williams, Sofia Vergara and JohnnySanchez have little to do. The addition ofAzaria is a plus. But Pink, as Gloria, andCommon, as Seymour, just don’t sound like aproper fit. That’s particularly noticeable in asoulful musical number, “Bridge of Light,” byPink that brings the movie to a dead stop.

The original film at least had some energyas thousands of penguins would stomp andclap to big pop numbers, such as Queen’s“Somebody to Love.” This time the music isan odd mixture of rap, TV themes and operathat is neither aimed at adults nor children.

There are so many problems with this filmthat it should have been called “Crappy Feet.”

‘Happy Feet Two’ not a success

Once override requestsare made, the KHP depart-ment will add sections usingcurrent or new instructorsand/or make some sections

larger, Noland said.“It may take the depart-

ment until the beginning ofthe spring semester 2012 toadd the new sections,” shesaid. “We will work as quick-ly as possible to make thesechanges.”

The College of Educa-tion has recently added two

full-time advisers and agreedto hire temporary staff to as-sist with advising, Nolandsaid.

The classes are filling upbecause of an increase in stu-dents and a lack of resourcesto accommodate those stu-dents, Noland said.

Provost Kumble Sub-

baswamy has shown supportfor KHP and the College ofEducation, Noland said.

Two faculty memberswere added in 2010 and againin 2011. Two more facultymembers have been approvedfor hiring in fall 2012,Noland said.

To accommodate the

growth of the department,more summer courses andonline summer courses arebeing offered.

In situations where sen-iors cannot be enrolled in his/her required KHP courses,advisers will work with stu-dents to find replacementcourses, she said.

Noland suggests studentsbe patient and watch for addi-tional KHP classes startingaround Christmas through thebeginning of the spring se-mester.

Though she said she can-not guarantee 100 percent suc-cess, “We will get most stu-dent’s needs met,” she said.

“It went really well,” ErinEngler, a biology freshmanand club member, said. “Wehad a really good turnout.”

The event, which wassponsored by New HorizonsDiving Center and the Profes-sional Association of DivingInstructors, will be a reoccur-ring event each semester.

The Scuba Cats meet thelast Wednesday of eachmonth, and Cappy said he hasbright plans for the future.

“We want the club togrow in numbers,” he said.“We want to do trips — start

locally and go as far as NorthCarolina or Florida.”

Cappy sees scuba divingas a unique way to explorethe world.

“I hope that (people) areintroduced to the sport andhopefully travel and learnabout other places in theworld,” Cappy said. “(Div-ing) is something we allshare.”

Engler said he hopes stu-dents use Scuba Cats as away to expand their horizons.

“Water makes up 70 per-cent of the world, and it’s aworld that most people don’tsee,” she said. “It’s good forpeople to get out and seethat.”

If interested in joiningScuba Cats, meetings are onthe last Wednesday of eachmonth, from 5:30 to 6:00p.m. in Student Center room205.

Students can also lookinto enrolling in KHP 117,named “Scuba,” if they wishto learn about scuba divingand scuba safety.

Whichever method, Cap-py said he hopes more peoplecome out and explore theworld in a whole new light ata whole new depth.

“We want to get peopleout there, get people wet,”he said. “Most have a goodtime and want to do itagain.”

Here they come ... Stampede!No, it’s not a herd of elephants.

It’s a herd of shoppers.It is that time of year again:

Black Friday. It’s time to get thatNorth Face Denali jacket every-one’s been eyeing for months, orthe newest “Call of Duty” gamebefore anyone else does, at next-to-nothing prices.

From BestBuy to Rite-Aid, itseems like every store is jumpingon the annual after-Thanksgivingsale bandwagon.

This Black Friday, you maywant to give it the “old college try”and brew a cup of coffee to pull anall-nighter because stores are open-ing even earlier this year.

Black Friday madness is ex-pected to begin at 3 a.m. at moststores, and stores like Target are pi-loting a new concept this holiday.They will open stores at midnightand let 30 people in every 30 sec-onds to reduce the number of bro-ken bones and bruised eyes, ac-cording to Indystar.com.

Stores such as Gap, Old Navy,Banana Republic, Macy’s andKohl’s are reportedly opening theirdoors at midnight, as well.

Some UK students, like TrentShimizu, a UK telecommunicationsmajor who worked last Black Fri-day at Dick’s Sporting Goods, saidhe knows exactly how edgy cus-tomers get with huge sales at majorretailers.

“I was at the register the wholetime with miles of people in line allday,” Shimizu said. “There werepeople with thousands of dollars intransactions, and if anything goeswrong, it’s all your fault.”

With the country slowly climb-ing out of the recession, holidayspending is expected to rise 2.8percent to $468 billion this season,with Black Friday and Thanksgiv-ing shopping projected to gain 10percent of the total holiday sales,according to Indystar.com.

“I’m expecting crazy shoppersand lots of catfights,” said UKsophomore Meredith Brown, whowill be working this year in herfirst Black Friday ever at FayetteMall.

Unruly shoppers have caused agreat deal of consumers to opt to

stay in, and this holiday shoppingseason online sales are expected togrow by 15 percent, according to In-dystar.com.

“It’s a little too early for mytaste,” Tyler Pittenger, an IntegratedStrategic Communications senior,said about the early store openings.

In years past, electronic gifts

have been on every household wishlist, and this Black Friday is no dif-ferent with nearly 25 percent ofshoppers saying they will buy fromthis category, pcmag.com said.

Smart phones, e-book tabletsand laptops will be among thehottest ticket items the day afterThanksgiving this year with stores

like Amazon knocking down theprice of their Kindle to $79, accord-ing to pcmag.com.

Walmart, one of today’sbiggest competitors for deals, an-nounced that their electronic dealswill start at midnight on Black Fri-day, which includes $100 off anXbox360.

Even the app world is wantingto help shoppers get their Black Fri-day game plan together.

According to pcmag.com, theiPhone app “SaleLocator” can nowbe downloaded to find the biggestdeals in more than 20 categories,and the GPS locations on where tofind the sales in stores.

Pardon the Interlude:Setting the tone

The one thing thatmakes a TV series, be-yond the unconventionalcharacters and pivotalplot, is the music thatseals off the overall moodthat’s being cast out tothe viewers.

FX’s latest series,“American Horror Story,”features music that is creep-ily perfect, proving just howmuch music can create alasting impression on anystory.

All the songs featured,even as early as the openingcredits, have a feeling ofemptiness that is vintageand jaded but with a twistof badass. The songs runparallel with the characters,scenes and the hauntedhome in the show.

“Flicker” by Son Lux isbeautifully paired.

The song has a classi-cal twist of an orchestralsound and steady pianomelody. A deep bass anddistorted vocal track con-trasts intriguingly withthe violent frenzy ofstrings and faded opera

ballad in the distance. This song is so uniquely

composed, fitting in amaz-ingly with the mood of theshow.

The songs are used as astorytelling device, makingthe show not only scary, butextremely smart.

Artist Carina Round’ssongs, “Do You” and “ForEverything a Reason”couldn’t appear in betterplaces throughout the sea-son. The mood and lyrics ofthe songs contribute to spe-cific monumental momentsin the show visually andcontextually.

The show’s credit’ssong, “Baby, You Ain’tLooking Right” by Pow-ersolo caps everythingoff.

It’s a song whose beatgets you clapping andstomping much like a Jetsong, only this song hasmore of a dirty, edgier vibethan “Are You Gonna BeMy Girl,” making it evenmore evident how awesomethis show is.

Overall the show is en-trancing. The song selectionfor the show is absolutelyphenomenal. If creepyshows aren’t necessarilyyour thing, at least check itout for the music.

You’ll be an instant fan,guaranteed.

Cats look to make Georgia win No. 5

With a 38-8 loss to Van-derbilt in its most recentgame, the UK football teamdropped its record to 4-6 forthe season, one loss frombeing eliminated from bowlcontention. In their finaltwo games of the regularseason, the Cats (4-6, 1-5SEC) must win both atGeorgia Saturday and athome against Tennessee onSenior Night the followingweek to become bowl eligi-ble for the sixth consecutiveyear.

Coming off its first SECwin of the season over OleMiss, UK was dominatedon both sides of the ball by

Vanderbilt. The Com-modores outgained the Catsby 199 total yards, 171 onthe ground alone, en routeto their 30-point victorythat pushed UK to thebrink.

“The more losses come,the tougher it is,” senior of-fensive tackle Billy JoeMurphy said. “It was atough day for us. It was abad loss that we needed towin really bad, but now thewins get even more desper-ate.”

When asked if a must-win scenario for the remain-der of the season madethings more difficult, Mur-phy remarked just the oppo-site.

“(It’s) a lot easier,”

Murphy said. “You have toput it all on the line for awin, you can’t afford a lossnow. We know we got sixlosses and we’re workingtowards six wins and wehave to have this one.”

Georgia won’t makethings easy for UK Satur-day in the Bulldog’s finalhome game of the season.Since opening the seasonwith two consecutive loss-es, Georgia has reeled offeight straight victories, in-cluding six straight in theSEC.

The Bulldogs will findthemselves with theirbacks against the wall thisweek as well, having tobeat UK in their last con-ference game of the season

to clinch the SEC East di-vision crown. Georgia (8-2, 6-1 SEC) has not lost toan SEC opponent sincefalling to South Carolina45-42 in week two. Butthat same South Carolinateam has already complet-ed its SEC schedule with a6-2 record and the head-to-head tiebreaker over theBulldogs, forcing Geor-gia’s hand to beat UK andimprove its SEC record to7-1 to clinch the East andearn a spot in the SECChampionship Game inDecember.

“We’re not just goingto roll over because it’sGeorgia,” senior tight endNick Melillo said. “Every-thing else is behind us, it’sthe biggest game of theyear.”

UK head coach Joker

Phillips joked in his week-ly press conference Mon-day that he had received atext message from a SouthCarolina number (likely aUSC coach) offering himdinner anywhere in theworld if UK defeatedGeorgia, allowing SouthCarolina to advance to the

SEC title game for the sec-ond year in a row. A winwill certainly be Phillips’goal Saturday.

“Dinner anywhere in theworld if we beat Georgia,”Phillips said with a smile.“So yeah, got to start pick-ing out some places forme.”

In the architecture com-plex, classrooms are connect-ed to allow students and pro-fessors a larger workspace,much like a large basement,Kriede said.

Although these tunnelsadd another dimension to theuniversity’s infrastructure, notall the tunnels are availablefor public use.

Many of the tunnels, usedfor utilities, are only availableto maintenance staff and areoff limits to the public.

The tunnels on SouthCampus, between the Kir-wan and Blanding complex-es, do not only serve the

purpose of utilities. In theevent of an emergency, thetunnels can be used as ashelter facility for residents,Kriede said.

The station also organizes

“We are not interested inmaking money,” he said. “Wejust want students and commu-nity members to be able to ex-perience really good musicand art while staying close tohome.”

Gibson used Boomslangas an example. The Boom-slang Festival consists of 30to 60 bands in one weekend

While adapting to socialmedia and the constant on-slaught of technology is im-portant, WRFL-FM standsout for other reasons, GIbsonsaid.

As you may know, thisweek UK and 500 other uni-versities across the country areparticipating in the NationalCoalition for the Homeless’“National Hunger and Home-lessness Awareness Week.”

According to the NationalCoalition for the Homeless’website, “Participating in Na-tional Hunger and Homeless-ness Awareness Week not onlybrings greater awareness toyour community, but also helpsto promote the national en-deavor to end hunger andhomelessness.”

While I agree that it is in-credibly, incredibly importantthat Americans understand theenormity of the hunger andhomelessness problems in thiscountry, I feel specific eventsorganized at UK this weekmay hurt the cause much morethan help it.

More specifically, and mostsaliently, I find many problemswith the Friday night’s “Card-board Village Simulation”event.

According to UKNow’swebsite, “At Cardboard Vil-lage, UK students will buildtheir homes for the night out ofcardboard and duct tape only,and then sleep overnight onHaggin Field to experiencehomelessness.”

Excuse me, what?! “Experience homeless-

ness?!” These people are kid-ding, right?

Students will “build” tem-porary “homes” (Is it really a“home” if you leave your real,temperature-controlled home,stay in it for several hours andthen return chez-toi?) out ofcardboard — ostensibly pro-vided for them, of course (lestwe have any students pickingthrough dumpsters for theirown cardboard) — with indu-bitably myriad other privilegedcollege students, all on the lux-urious, well-groomed field oftheir state’s flagship university.

And that’s not all.As if to add insult to in-

jury, “Dinner and water [(un-doubtedly bottled)] will be pro-vided …”

Wait, there’s more!“Participating students and

groups will have the chance towin gift cards, so registernow!”

(Whoah … For a second

there, I thought I wouldn’t begetting anything in return forroughing the elements Fridaynight.)

Is the goal of this honestlyto “learn what it’s like to behomeless for one night?” Be-cause, I’m sorry, this is notwhat it feels like to be home-less for a night.

If you want to know whatit's really like to be homelessfor night, you need not lookfar at all.

You may have heard in thenews recently that, accordingto the Oct. 31 Shelter Census,the homeless rates in NewYork have reached the highestever (yes, including the GreatDepression) at 42,204 people(and these estimates are con-servative). More than 40 per-cent of these individuals arechildren.

Yet understand that thesemonstrous rates are in no waydistributed uniformly.

A 2008 study by the U.S.Conference of Mayors revealedthe extremely skewed demo-graphics of the U.S. homelesspopulation, at 42 percentAfrican-American, 39 percentwhite, 13 percent Hispanic and4 percent Native American.

Moreover, the study found26 percent of homeless peopleare considered mentally ill,while 13 percent of homelessindividuals were physicallydisabled.

Nineteen percent of singlehomeless people are victims ofdomestic violence, while 13percent are veterans.

Nineteen percent of home-less people are employed. Yes,you read that correctly. Almostone-fifth of the homeless in theU.S. are employed.

And, unlike the “homeless”in UK’s Cardboard Village, thereal homeless don't receivemuch help.

A 2007 study (and home-lessness has gotten muchworse since then) conductedby the same organization foundthat 12 of the 23 cities sur-veyed had to turn people inneed of shelter away becauseof space.

Overall, a 2007 NationalLaw Center on Homelessnessand Poverty study found thatapproximately 3.5 million peo-ple, 1.35 million of them chil-dren, are likely to experiencehomelessness in a given year.

These rates are many timeslarger than any other industri-alized country — and signifi-cantly larger than those of allof the countries in the Euro-pean Union combined.

And things are not gettingbetter.

The Oct. 31 Shelter Censusfurther found that the numberof homeless families has nearlydoubled over the past decade,and women and children arethe largest growing groups.

So how exactly is theCardboard Village helping“end hunger and homeless-ness?” How exactly is it at-tempting to ameliorate any ofthese preposterously highhomeless rates?

Homelessness is an incred-ibly serious problem — andthis isn’t even touching uponhunger, which is equally exor-bitant, if not more so — andhaving a “let’s pretend we’rehomeless party” gives studentsthe wrong impression of whatit’s really like, of how extraor-dinarily difficult, painful andterrifying it is, to be homeless.

The truth is, CardboardVillage is not a homelessnesssimulation; it is an outsideslumber party.

It is the commoditizationof hunger and homelessness.

Upon first hearing of it, Iimmediately thought of a scenefrom the film “Roger and Me”when a so-called “JailhouseRock” open house party is heldin which essentially solely up-per-class white individualsdress-up and stay overnight inthe freshly-cleaned, atypicallyover-furnished cells of a new-ly-constructed jailhouse.

Just as we all know jail (letalone prison) is not this easy,not this fun, not this comfort-able, we all know homeless-ness is nothing like what willoccur at the Cardboard Villagethis Friday night.

Let’s hope it rains. Orsnows. Or hails. (Or the policeraid the encampment).

Then maybe, just maybe,the students will have a tasteof what it’s really like to behomeless.

For just one night, ofcourse.

NEW YORK — I spentthe weekend in New YorkCity looking up at the build-ings stretching into the sky.

At times, it looked likeKansas was looking up atUK’s defenders, arms stretch-ing into the Madison SquareGarden ceiling, wonderinghow it could go around them,or over them, or throughthem, or something.

“I don’t know if there hasbeen a team around longerthan those cats,” Kansas headcoach Bill Self said, withouteven noticing his own cleverpun. “I think their lengthbothered us.”

Well, UK did block 13shots. Anthony Davis spiked,swatted, pitched or maimed aKansas shot seven times.

“It’s nice when you can

block shots,” UK head coachJohn Calipari said. “We’repretty long.”

Indeed they are. Caliparisaid the frontline of Davis,Terrence Jones, MichaelKidd-Gilchrist, Eloy Vargasand even Darius Miller canall provide blocks.

Which provides backup.“They can cover up for a

mistake,” Self said, “and thenget points out of it going theother way.”

And that’s really wherethis length phenomenon helpsUK. Right now, a lot of itsoffense is predicated on gooddefense. UK attacks the ballon defense to createturnovers, and then takes offfor its own basket as fast aspossible.

Self, however, said teamscould slow the ball down toneutralize UK’s length.

“A team that could makethem defend a whole 35 sec-onds could take away someof the athletic plays they canmake that no other team canmatch,” Self said.

UK’s frontline provides long night for Kansas

Any college athlete willtell you that losing in theNCAA Tournament is a terri-ble feeling. To work so hardfor so long, then have it endso abruptly, is a hard pill toswallow.

For the UK women’s soc-cer team, that feeling is a rel-atively new one.

In a season where theywere picked in the preseasonto finish second-worst in theSEC, they worked tirelesslyto show everyone that theywere legitimate contenders.

“It’s hard for me to ex-plain the amount of work thathas been done to prepare forthis moment,” head coach JonLipsitz said. “It’s unbeliev-able. The excitement I sawmade me realize how much itmeans to everybody.”

After losing Saturday inthe NCAA first round toWashington State, UK fin-

ished the season with a recordof 13-7-1. Good for a sixthplace finish in the SEC, theCats received an at-large bidin the NCAA tournament forthe first time since 2006.

Senior Kelsey Hunyadifinished the season with 38points, the most by a UKplayer since 1999.

Including Hunyadi, theCats lose three seniors, onlytwo of which saw consistentplaying time this season (Hun-yadi and Kiondra McGee).With all the returning talentcombined with an incomingfreshman recruiting class,there is a lot of reason to beencouraged going forward.

“I’m very excited aboutthe future of this program,”Lipsitz said. “Obviously Ican’t talk about specifics, butwe’re very excited about ourclasses coming in. But one ofthe reasons we’re so excitedabout the future is because ofhow far we’ve come thisyear.”
