Bowl empty after alcohol ban

The student tailgatingarea known as The Bowlwas empty for the first timein a long time during thehours leading up to Satur-day’s football home game.

No men decked out inSperrys. No women in bluesundresses. No live band.No drinking.

All of this was a resultof the policy UK PresidentEli Capilouto put into ac-tion after assaults occurredin the student tailgatingarea before and after theCats played Western Ken-tucky on Sept. 15.

For this weekend, alco-hol and live bands and DJswere banned at the studenttailgate spot. UK will meetwith city and state officialsthis week to decide if theban will stay.

Jordan Ethington, a sec-ondary social-studies edu-cation sophomore, found

herself tailgating in theBlue Lot of CommonwealthStadium alongside her closefriend’s parents and their 14pounds of chicken. She saidshe was not content withCapilouto’s decision.

“I think he went toofar,” Ethington said. “Tail-gating is a huge part ofwhat we love as students.It’s a huge part of UK.”

She surveyed the areabetween Cooper Drive andSports Center Drive fromthe stadium lot.

“There’s nobody there.There’s a bunch of policeover there looking at noth-ing. There aren’t any kidsthere,” Ethington said.

“Next week I’ll give it atry and go back over there,but I just hope this doesn’thappen again,” she said.

Lexington police Lt.Dean Marcum said the de-partment “only made a fewarrests” in the area Saturday.

Even since the inceptionof the smoking ban on cam-pus in November 2009,congregations of smokersare still seen around cam-pus.

The UK Tobacco-FreeCampus Initiative TaskForce hopes to push thecampus toward being trulytobacco-free.

To report tobacco use, astudent or employee cannow email ReportTFviola-tion@uky.edu with the loca-tion, time and a detailed de-scription of the violation.

“We don’t expect peopleto go up and ask people their

names, but the more detailsthe better. If they give a largearea we can’t really followup,” Dr. Ellen Hahn, co-chair of the task force, said.

Hahn said that with thereports, ambassadors woulduse the details, trends andknown “hot spots” to findthe offenders.

The legitimacy of theclaims will be ensured byfollow-up contact with manywho make reports and thefact that vague reports willnot be followed without fur-ther contact.

Students who are caughtviolating the no-smokingpolicy are reported to thedean of students.

First time offenders will

not be punished harshly, andtreatment will be made avail-able to those who are inter-ested.

Some non-smokers agreethat dealing with cigarettesmoke on campus can be apain.

“I know I don’t like togo around smelling ciga-rette smoke all the time,”said biosystems engineer-ing freshman Stephen Cec-coni.

Some think that peopleare unlikely to take time outof their day to report viola-tors.

“I don’t think someone isgoing to take the time to tellon someone,” history seniorMarquess Dawson said.

One student thought thatthe system might be more ef-fective if it used a methodother than email.

“I don’t think people

would take the time to do allof that, especially since it’semail. If I were to ever do it,I’d probably do a text overan email,” said elementaryeducation junior SarahQuade.

Hahn believes this sys-tem is more convenient thanthose in the past, so peopleare more likely to use it.

She also said there havebeen about 15 reports usingthe system since the news re-lease went out.

The success or failure ofthis system will hinge onwhether or not people actual-ly use it.

“We just want to remindeveryone that this is allabout health and creating ahealthy environment foreveryone on our campusand I’m really proud of ouruniversity for doing this,”Hahn said.

UK enacts email system to report smoking violations

Caught up in smoke

WEST LIBERTY, Ky. —Friends and families in Mor-gan County milled aboutdowntown at the annualSorghum Festival wearingthe same overalls and smilesthat they do year after year.

As usual, tents filledwith arts and crafts served asthe main attraction, theWomen’s Club cooked upthe ham ’n’ biscuits they’refamous for, and the sorghummill ground out the sweet,sticky substance for whichthe festival is named.

When one looked close-ly, however, it became evi-dent that this festival was un-like others that have comebefore it.

The familiarity was taint-ed by an air of differentemotions, brought on by thetragedy that struck the townlast spring.

When an EF3 tornadoswept through the cityMarch 2, it threatened the fu-ture of homes, businessesand traditions like theSorghum Festival.

Although some doubtedthat the fair would return,

residents insisted on keepingit, said city council memberBelinda Jordan.

Not only was it impor-tant to bring the SorghumFestival back to encouragenormalcy, but to help thepeople involved bring in rev-

enue.“I could have filled two

of these tents this year,” Jor-dan said. “I had that muchinterest from people whocalled wanting to be a crafterfrom far off because of whathad happened, because we

got national recognition afterthe tornado.”

Festival brings West Liberty together

UK basketball headcoach John Calipari is inthe beginning stages of as-similating six new playersonto the roster of a teamlooking to defend lastyear’s national champi-onship.

Calipari met with themedia in September to talkabout early preparations.This is the first of a two-part series from that inter-view.

Question: How muchdid the additional allowedsummer workouts help?

Calipari: There aretimes where the more infor-mation you get, the moreconfused you are. That’swhere I am with this group.Now I have more questions,like how much can I playtwo big guys together?We’re going to have to fig-ure out how much we playwith those two together(Nerlens Noel and WillieCauley-Stein). With Alex(Poythress), the question ishow close can we get hismotor to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? Can we even gethim in the same ballpark?We have a lot of questions.We are going to play fast.We are going to play drib-ble-drive. How we get in tothe dribble-drive we havechanged every single year Ihave been here.

Q: What has been themost pleasant surprise overthe summer?

Calipari: Willie is theguy. First of all, I neversaw him play in a high-school basketball game. Isaw him play football a lot.I told him when we recruit-ed him that he had no cluehow good he could be-come. He’s taking on thesport for the first timewhere he is really focusedon this sport. He hasgained 20 to 25 pounds.His skill set is absolutelyimproved. He’s fast. He’snimble. He gained groundon Nerlens because Ner-lens wasn’t here (over thesummer). Those eightweeks of conditions,weight training and 16 one-hour workouts put him ondifferent level than Ner-lens.

Q: How do you addressthe success of last yearwith this team?

Calipari: We’ve alreadytalked about it. That thing isdone. None of these guyswere even a part of that.Does that mean we can bebetter than last year?Maybe. That would meanthe team is really close.That would mean that theteam really sacrifices. Wedon’t even know how weare going to play yet. I’mworried about this team andhow good we can be. Whenwe lost six games in ourleague (in 2011), I kepttelling you guys we weregoing to be fine. What end-ed up happening, is if weplayed better against Con-

“A-ca-scuse me?” says Aubrey (AnnaCamp), leader of the choir group The Bellas;she, like nearly everybody in the cheerful teencomedy “Pitch Perfect,” is obsessed with acappella singing.

Taking place at Barden University — pop-ulated by perfectly coifed students who appar-ently never study — the movie’s about Beca(Anna Kendrick), a cute sort-of loner andwould-be music producer who finds a homewith The Bellas and with what one characterscornfully refers to as “organized nerdsinging.” The group, as we learn in the open-ing scenes, is particularly driven to win theBig Contest (i.e. the International Champi-onship of Collegiate A Cappella), after mess-ing up spectacularly last year.

Things unfold in predictable fashion(Beca’s comment, “I don’t like movies;they’re so predictable” notwithstanding), but

what makes “Pitch Perfect” work are its fun-ny one-liners, rousing music and oddball per-formances. Kendrick, who I’ve long suspect-ed to be a character actress hiding in ingenueform, uses her slightly metallic, brittle qualityto give Beca an interesting tension; RebelWilson (“Bridesmaids”) continues her weird-ly effective shtick of saying her lines as if thewords have been randomly rearranged; HanaMae Lee is a scream as meek choir memberLilly, who keeps murmuring things that theothers can’t quite hear (e.g. “Do you guyswant to see a dead body?”); and JohnMichael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks punc-tuate the film to good comic effect as a pairof so-serious-they’re-funny competition com-mentators.

Not quite pitch perfect, but it’s irresistible.

The distinct smell of aroller rink — hot dogs andsweaty roller skates — cov-ered the air Saturday eveningat the Lexington ConventionCenter.

The seats were filled withenergized and enthusiasticfans chanting “R-O-C-KROCK! ROCK! ROCK!”They were cheering for“Smokin’ Okie,” “SugarShock,” “Banjo Kablooey”and other members of theRollergirls of Central Ken-tucky (R.O.C.K.) who com-peted in their final bout of the2012 season.

After a close and hardfought battle, the R.O.C.K.lost their bout to the Red Riv-er Sirens of Clarksville, Tenn.

The final score was 159-134.

The action was raw andpainful. The hits were hard,the shoving was forceful andthe competition was brutal.The game is played in a se-ries of short matchups or“jams,” where both teamsdesignate a scoring player(the “jammer”) who scorespoints by lapping members ofthe opposing team.

“Roller derby is a do-it-yourself sport. It is entirelyskater owned and operated,which allows skaters to ex-press themselves and theiroriginality,” said Lauren“Skate Beckett” Payne,R.O.C.K.’s bout coordinatorand bench coach.

Payne said there are sev-en roller-derby leagues inKentucky varying in size.

Bowling Green is thelargest, filling two fullteams.

As the women in shortshorts and fishnet stockingsdemonstrated, it’s not aboutbrute strength and size butrather it’s all about speed.

“Roller derby is excit-ing,” said Megan “JunkDrawer” Robertson, a mem-ber of R.O.C.K. “Once youunderstand the game, rulesand penalties, it’s easier tounderstand and fun towatch.”

R.O.C.K. is Lexington’sonly women’s flat-trackroller-derby league.

The league was foundedin 2007 and has become alocal favorite with manyLexington residents. Paynesaid R.O.C.K. has a fan basethat reaches between 400and 800 people attending theevents.

The team is composed of28 fierce and competitive,yet friendly, women of dif-

ferent ages. On game days,the team is narrowed to 14on the roster and then 11who actually skate for thatevening.

The team puts in a greatamount of time towards train-ing and scrimmages a fewdays each week.

Much of the training con-sists of members of the team

practicing on their ownterms.

“It has been a good sea-son, but this season has beena rebuilding year because wehave had a lot of newer girlsjoin,” Payne said.

Brian Duggan, a fan ofR.O.C.K., has attendedevery home game this sea-son.

“There has been a lot ofshakeup with members leav-ing and new members join-ing, so they are still new andlearning, but I enjoy watch-ing the team compete,” Dug-gan said.

The next hard-hitting andexhilarating bout begins April20 as R.O.C.K. begins the2013 season.

The year is 2044. Theincome gap has widened tothe point of an economiccataclysm that has ren-dered currency virtually

useless.Silver

and goldrule thestreets.Now or-ganizedcrimethrives in amorallystagnantand fiscallydesperateUnitedStates.

How-ever, police are crackingdown, and it has becomeliterally impossible to dis-pose of a body via the useof trackers. But the mobhas a trick up their sleeve— time travel. It hasn’tbeen invented yet, but in30 years, it will be.

In an attempt to eradi-cate evidence, the mob willhire “loopers” to instantlykill whoever gets sent backto the past.

The loopers collecttheir pay and move on withtheir lives.

Joe Simmons, themob’s youngest yet bright-est looper, is indulging inhis newly found riches and

is having the time of hislife. Drugs, women, youname it. If it’s fun, he’s do-ing it.

However, when Joe ismaking his rounds, he isrocked to the core when herealizes that his next targetis himself, 30 years weath-ered.

The mob is closing hisloop. With conflicting in-tentions, Joe and his futureself go about differentpaths to save themselvesand protect their currentsituations.

Movies about the fu-ture can be very special.Rather than encompassingwhat has happened in thepast or what life is like to-day, writers have a uniqueopportunity to create theirown universe fromscratch.

Everything from flick-ing on the lights to blow-ing off somebody’s headcan be tinkered with in away that suits the story’sintentions.

“Looper” does thiswithout flaw.

Audiences will be soimmersed in director RianJohnson’s wit that they willwant to see it again tocatch what they may havemissed the first timearound.

“Looper” is smart —

damn smart.It teases audiences by

making them think theyfeel special or content forguessing a would-be end-ing. Then just when youget comfortable, Johnsonthrows in a twist within atwist that will leave audi-ences in a drooling state ofshock.

You may want to bringsome ear plugs to keepyour brain from shootingtemporal lobe all over yourdate. Mmmmm.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’schemistry with his sur-roundings is perfect. Not tomention the exceptionalmakeup job to ease thetransition into his futureself (Bruce Willis).

This movie will keepyou up at night, not be-cause it is disturbing orscary (although it is darkas hell), but because youwill be trying to think of ascience-fiction movie thattook you on such a greatride. “Looper” has earnedits spot among the ranks of“Inception,” “The Matrix”and “Blade Runner” as oneof the most captivating andintelligent movies of alltime.

It’s that good.

Mid-semester courses offerunique options in less time

Traditional college educa-tion is dead.

Mid-semester courses arean opportunity for collegestudents to take a more activerole in education. They sup-ply students with choices, op-tions and a change of pace,starting in October rather thanin August, like typical classes.

Students seeking a cre-ative outlet can enroll for amid-semester course that isgaining attention on campus.

“I hope that students be-come better at visualizing anyidea,” Rachel Elliott, artistand mid-semester class in-structor, said. “Whether a stu-dent uses what they learn infuture classes and careers orfor making sense of them-selves and their world in aprivate way, if they feel betterable to put what’s in theirmind into something theymake, I feel like we’ve donea good job.”

Three women who recog-nize the importance of theseopportunities for students areteaching mid-semester cours-es on UK’s campus this fall.

Elliott is a painter and vi-sual artist from Oklahomawho has found herself in aunique position at UK. Afterattending Truman State Uni-versity and Bard College, El-liott found herself in the writ-ing, rhetoric and digital mediadivision on campus.

Her work involves teach-ing visual communicationskills within a writing pro-gram. On Oct. 22, Elliott’smid-semester A&S 100-007course titled “ComposingWith Visuals” begins.

Elliott is enthusiasticabout the course and hopesthat “students become betterat visualizing any idea,” andshe encourages any student totake part in the creativeprocess.

While some students maybe seeking a creative way toorganize their ideas, othersmay be interested in becom-ing more culturally savvy bytaking A&S 100-401.

As part of the College ofArts and Sciences “Passportto the World” series, CynthiaRuder will be leading themid-semester course “Crimeand Punishment in Russia’sRealms,” which starts Mon-day. Ruder and Janet Stamatelwill be instructing the course,which Ruder said has a maingoal of “acquainting studentswith Russian life and cul-ture.”

The course will featurefive guest lecturers through-out the rest of the semesterand counts for two credithours.

Ruder encourages anystudent who is interested toregister, especially studentswho need to maintain full-time status or upperclassmenwho could use a “change ofpace.”

“Students do not have tospeak Russian to take thecourse,” Ruder said.

“An advantage of thecourse is that freshmen havealready acclimated to theircollege schedules and it offersupperclassmen a change ofpace.”

Along with Elliott’s visu-ally focused creative compo-sition course and Ruder’s cul-turally centered Russian of-fering, professor Rita Basurayis partnering both science andthe humanities to offer stu-dents “The Science BehindWhat We Drink,” which startsOct. 15.

Basuray said the idea forthe class began with a bookthat she and her husbandread.

She will teach the histori-cal significance of beveragessuch as water, beer, tea andcola, as well as the ways theyinteract with the body.

The class has no prerequi-sites, but Basuray encouragesopen-minded and friendlystudents to take the course, asit is interactive.

Basuray was born in Indiaand has an extensive back-ground in physiology but aprofound love for reading andthe humanities.

“The one thing that I wantmy students to take from theclass is the knowledge thatit’s possible to merge the hu-manities and science,” Basur-ay said.

Students who are lookingto rack up hours to maintainfull-time status or enroll inone of the mid-semestercourses should speak to theiradvisers.

Science behind drinks, visualcomposition among class topics

in the Sorghum Bowl on Fri-day night.

For many, the victorymeant more than just addinganother win to the team’srecord.

“This town’s more thanfootball; it’s about a smallcommunity holding strong to-gether,” said senior quarter-back Larrin Collins. “It saysin the Bible that God willnever put you up against any-thing that you can’t face, andI think the city of West Liber-ty has shown that.”

The most difficult partabout preparing for the festi-val was dealing with the safe-ty issues, Jordan said.

Main Street was one ofthe areas hit hardest by thetornado, so damaged propertyhad to be fenced in to protectvisitors.

In an effort to brightenthe scenery, the newlyformed West Liberty AreaArts Council paired withMorgan County schools tocreate banners depictingscenes about the tornado tocover the fencing.

“We thought that maybethis would be a good idea, notjust to cover those things, butto let the kids tell the story oftheir experience with thestorm and how they’re deal-ing with it,” said councilmember David Campbell.“The things that they’ve cre-ated have been amazing.”

Interpretations of thestorm existed in several dif-ferent art forms and were forsale at various tents.

Local artist Bonita Skag-gs-Parsons constructed sculp-tures entirely out of newspa-per and glue, some of whichillustrated the tornado as darkand depressing, and otherswhich communicated a mes-sage of hope.

Eighty-four-year-oldLynn Nickell has attendedevery Sorghum Festival sincethe first in 1970.

Nickell, who has written20 books about MorganCounty and is considered bymany to be the town histori-an, sold out of 550 copies ofhis latest book, “How SweetIt Was!” on the first day ofthe festival.

The book contains imagesof the town after the storm.

Although Nickell origi-nally wanted to avoid the sadsubject, citizens continually

asked him to write a book,and in April, he gave in.

“It’s history that shouldbe recorded, so I decided todo it,” Nickell said.

After placing an ad in thenewspaper, he received thou-sands of photographs that hehad to go through.

“It’s hard to look at thosepictures,” Nickell said, withtears in his eyes. “I get emo-tional myself because I lovethe town so well. I grew uphere and lived right in town,down the street here, as achild. The town was my play-ground.”

Although the number ofpeople in attendance has notyet been released, severalsaid this year’s crowd was thebiggest they’d seen at the fes-tival in years.

“I feel like they’re mak-ing a lot of progress,” saidMorgan County residentPam Oldfield-Meade.“We’ve got such a goodbunch of people here. It’simpressive what they’ve ac-complished.”

Jordan agreed that theweekend was a success.

“It’s been a wonderful,wonderful weekend,” shesaid. “It’s been good for ourcommunity to see some hap-py times.”

necticut on that day, wewould have won the nationaltitle. There was no team outthere that scared me. I don’tknow enough about this year,but I do know the first twoteams we’re playing (Mary-land and Duke) are going togive us a problem. We’re talk-ing about veteran teams thattheir whole summer has beenthinking about Kentucky. Wecould go 0-2 to start off andstill have a really good team.

Q: Who will be the Dar-ius Miller of this team?Calipari: I don’t even

know if we will have thatrole. This team is going to bedifferent. Could it be Julius(Mays) coming off the benchdoing it? Yeah. We are going

to have six or seven starterslike we did a year ago. Idon’t know who that will beyet.

Q: What was it aboutJulius Mays that made youwant to add him to this pro-gram?Calipari: Great kid who

had performed at a high lev-el, that could make baskets— especially jump shots, thatwanted to be a part of thisand understood what itmeant. He knew what he waswalking into.

Q: What did Ryan Har-row get out of the year prac-ticing with the team?Calipari: He got beat up.

He played against a pit bullevery day (Marquis Teague).I told Ryan I want him to bethe best layup shooter in theSEC. I don’t need any cute-ness. Get to the basket and

shoot layups. That means youhave to play through bumpsand keep going. The goodthing is you have Archie(Goodwin) who can play theposition, too. We have flexi-bility. We can play twoguards and three bigs. Wecan use Alex as a forward.I’m going to be honest, Alexis a three or a four. Now youput him at the four — doyou know how quick he is?There is no four in ourleague that can guard him offthe bounce, they will justhave to back away and hopehe isn’t making shots. Wejust have to play games,games like those first two.Those first two will be majorlearning experiences. Wewant to win every game weplay, but we truly have tolearn, experiment and messaround. These guys haven’tplayed together yet.

Q: Do you think you havea team where any of six play-ers could be the leadingscorer on a given day?Calipari: Seven. Let me

tell you what Willie Cauley-Stein’s job will be — outruneverybody down the floor,both ends. When we dodrills, everything we dosomeone wins and someoneloses. He finishes first in allthe runs. He’s 7-foot tall andhe’s finishing first, and run-ning hard. Not just striding,he is flying. He can get twoor three layups a half just byout-running their big.

Q: What is your visionfor Nerlens Noel?Calipari: He is not ever

going to be Shaq, but he isreally quick and fast. If a kidis slow going to the ball orreacting to the ball, he can’tplay. If a kid is really quickgoing to the ball, then he hasa chance to be special. An-thony (Davis) was reallyquick getting to balls. Thiskid (Noel) is the same way.He is the quickest on ourteam getting to balls and do-ing stuff like that. If he is onthe baseline or high post areawith hand-offs and rolls andstuff like that, he’ll finishwith dunks. He is physicallynot in shape yet. He is be-hind. He just started here. Ithink he’ll be fine.

Q: Do you feel comfort-able he will continue to beavailable (referring to NCAAinquiry)?

Calipari: They do thiskind of review with a bunchof kids. The review — whenyou reclassify, there is a redflag. Some people are madthat you reclassify, that is an-other red flag. And they gothrough the process, but it isa review. We feel confident.We feel pretty good.

Women’s soccer falls in overtime

Another mixed-bag week-end saw the UK women’ssoccer team lose for the firsttime at home Sunday 2-1 inovertime to Alabama.

That loss came on theheels of a 2-2 double-overtimedraw with No. 6 Texas A&MFriday night. The Cats exit theweekend 8-3-1 (3-2-1 SEC)and unranked, after reachingNo. 18 two weeks prior.

Alabama’s first-half goalwas netted by sophomoremidfielder Theresa Diederich,with sophomore forward PiaRijsdijk scoring the equalizer.UK’s lone goal came in thesecond half from freshmanforward Cara Ledman.

From the opening kickoff,the Cats looked sluggish.They were late to loose ballsand saw little offensive push.After about five minutes ofattack from UK to start thegame, Alabama took controland really dominated thematch through the halftimewhistle.

Diederich’s shot curled itsway into the goal after an Al-abama corner kick ping-ponged its way to her foot atthe edge of the box. Thescore was her sixth of the sea-

son, with the assist going tofreshman midfielder MerelVan Dongen for the initialboot from the corner.

The Cats’ second half be-gan with Ledman recordingher third goal of the season10 minutes in. Freshman for-ward Courtney Raetzmancontinued her prolific offen-sive creation this season withthe assist on the equalizer, herfourth of the season to ac-company her four goals.

A mixture of swift of-fense and porous defense cul-minated in shots aplenty fromboth sides after Ledman’sgoal. Despite the opportuni-ties, neither squad could keepthe game from going to over-time.

UK head coach Jon Lip-sitz pulled Ledman after hergoal. It appeared that hesaved Ledman and junior for-ward Caitlin Landis for thelast portion of the secondhalf. When the two weresubbed in at 74 minutes,though, the offensive sparkdid not come.

“When we sub, we expectto get better. You get to hearwhat we’re doing right andwrong on the bench,” Lipsitzsaid. “We had players that ran8 miles on Friday night, andthey needed to get a break.

When we give them a break,we’ve got to get better. That’ssomething that has been a ba-sic tenet of our program: thatwhen we sub, we’re going toget better. That didn’t happentoday, so that’s somethingthat we’re going to have to goback and work out.”

After a five-minute break,the first overtime period wasunder way, with UK lookingto put the game away swiftly.Failed attempts to score byUK at 91 and 92 minutes gavethe Crimson Tide the ball withholes in UK’s backfield. With-out much build, Rijsdijk’sunassisted golden goal endedthe game at 93 minutes. Herscore put Alabama at 7-3-2 (2-2-2 SEC) three weekends intoSEC play.

Lipsitz gave shared credit

for the loss to Alabama’s hardwork and his own team’s lackthereof.

“We weren’t willing to do(the) work today, so we de-servedly lost the game. Ala-bama deserved to win thegame,” he said. The fourth-year UK head coach said thathis team is going to focus ondetails and basics in the com-ing week of practice andtraining, and that competitivepressure should not be hin-dering his team the way it didagainst Alabama this deepinto the season.

When I began considering which uni-versity I was going to attend upon high

school graduation, I waslooking for severalthings. One of my toppriorities was finding anice campus.

I was especially at-tracted to UK for its

beauty. The sight ofstudents studying onthe green amphitheaterin front of MemorialHall was just the typeof scene I’d been look-ing for.

However, the stun-ning campus that I fell in love with threeyears ago has changed. Now it is beset,but not in the way that most would as-sume I’m referring to.

Campus is littered with students, andmany of them don’t belong.

There are a large number of studentsenrolled at UK and other colleges acrossthe nation who simply are not preparedfor college and the responsibilities that itbrings.

I am certainly not saying that I’m themost intelligent person at UK, nor am Isuggesting that all of you are unfit forhigher education.

What I am trying to communicate isthat the college environment is not foreveryone. Students not only need to pos-sess solid intellectual abilities, but a setof social skills as well. There is no deny-ing that the students who have the mostsuccess in college are well-rounded indi-viduals. I have witnessed firsthand thatstudents lacking one quality or the otheroften fail out of school or drop out ontheir own.

As badly as I wish that some of myfriends were able to find their role in thecollege community, we all need to acceptthe fact that some are better suited for adifferent type of post-secondary educa-tion.

The size of the freshman class contin-ues to grow year after year, and the ef-fects of this trend are becoming more ev-ident.

When I visited the library last week, Ispent 20 minutes looking for a parkingspot, and then spent 20 more trying tofind a study space. After getting settledin, I found that it was too loud to concen-trate on my work. To relieve some of thestress I had built up, I decided to treat

myself to a beverage from Starbucks,only to find a line out the door of OvidsCafé. These are basic amenities that Ishould have easy access to, but I had toforfeit my right to them because of theoverabundance of people.

In addition, unprepared students re-ceive scholarships that I feel others aremore deserving of. I come from a mid-dle-class family, and because our incomeis just above the mark, we receive no fi-nancial help from the government. Whilemy parents are able to make ends meet, itis by no means easy. Both my parentsand I work hard to make sure that I re-ceive a quality education, as is the casewith many other families. It is my beliefthat families such as these earn their rightto scholarship and aid, but again, this isnot always the case. Many recipients arestudents who are less prepared to suc-ceed. This is yet another example of dis-tribution of resources that is unfair, andresults from the lack of college readinesstoday.

I understand that I did not enroll in ahighly competitive school, and that myexperience might be different at anotheruniversity. However, I still say that UK isa wonderful school that should recruit thebest students. I want to learn alongsidepeople who care about their educationand will push me to do my best.

Ask any professor, and I am certainthat they can differentiate between thestudents who belong in their classroomand those who do not. We should be at-tempting to recognize which category students fall into before admitting themto college. There are several possibleways to do this, from standardized testingto interviewing applicants. I am no experton higher education, so I cannot say forsure what the best option is. However, asa college student myself, I can confirmthe frustration that results from sharingtime, money and resources with studentswho are not ready for college, and willmake my voice heard about the fact thatsomething needs to be done.

It pleases me to know that so manypeople in today’s society see the worth ofa college degree, but we have to face thefacts. There are a ton of options when itcomes to post-secondary education, andstudents should take the time to considerall of them to find their “perfect fit.”

Recently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security embraced New York City’s “See Something?Say Something” campaign in its attempt to thwart any attempts by terrorists to disrupt our lives.

In a similar vein, the National Cyber Security Alliance has selected “Our SharedResponsibility” as its theme for this year’s National Cyber Security AwarenessMonth. Since no one really owns the Internet, it really is up to all of us to do ourpart to keep the Internet safe and available.

So, what is our part?Keep it patched: It sounds simple, but keep your computer system and your ap-

plication software (like Adobe Flash Player) patched and up to date. Two of thebiggest breaches in 2011 — involving Sony and RSA — were due to unpatchedsoftware. Most car owners know to regularly change their car’s oil. Computer own-ers need to be just as vigilant.

Keep it working: Anti-virus software and firewalls used to slow personal com-puters down so much that owners disabled them. That is no longer the case. Installanti-malware software and keep it up to date. Frequently scan your computer formalicious software and remove any viruses or trojans that are found. Keep yourcomputer’s firewall turned on. It may not be the best defense against computer in-truders but it’s better than nothing.

Keep it to yourself: No legitimate organization should ever ask you for your password in an emailand, with so many paper bills being replaced by email notices, always double check the websites youvisit before you type in your username and password. Many fraudulent messages, called phishingemail, contain links to criminal websites that look legitimate. When you’re online, it’s OK to be skepti-cal.

These are just a few things we each can do to improve the security of our own computers, protectour data and help maintain order on the Internet. After all, it really is our shared responsibility. Onemight even say that improving our own computer security is actually our civic duty.

letter to the editor

When I picked up Thursday’s Kernel, theoversized image of a downtrodden homelessman immediately drew my eye. “Could it be,” Iexclaimed, “has the Kernel finally given up onfootball speculations and attempted to write ahuman-interest article? Have the marginalizedmembers of our community received a voice?”Imagine my surprise when I actually read the ar-ticle.

I already knew the UKPD spends mostnights arresting drunken miscreants and respond-ing to assaults on and around campus. What Ididn’t realize, however, was the level of disdainthat the Kernel apparently holds for the homelessof Lexington.

The article describes Paul Prather “lookingquite comfortable in his new bed,” which is actu-ally a patch of grass at the side of a house. Thelast time I checked, a hard ground is in no waycomfortable, and to insinuate that Prather haschosen this place to sleep over some other “bet-ter” option is disgusting.

I know as college students and faculty wehave been incorrectly trained by our middle- orupper-class culture to believe that homelessnessis a personal choice. And yes, there are “danger-ous” homeless people. But does this man some-how merit more attention and more pictures thanany of the more violent incidents later describedin the article such as an attempted rapist or twomen physically engaging police officers in front

of Willy T? I am not questioning why he wasarrested, but I am questioning that the writer ofthis article, and the Kernel, have chosen to com-pare him to drunken partygoers and sexual as-sailants. How is a homeless man comparable to aman who came from a birthday party full offriends, food and comfort?

This article is just the cherry on a cake of ap-athy and distaste that I see on UK’s campus. Ihave always believed that a newspaper shouldstrive to inform readers of the world aroundthem in a way that positively changes the waythey treat their fellow man.

In this vein, I dare the Kernel and its writersto try a new type of story. Instead of safe sportscoverage on every page day after day, I dareKernel writers to try harder. Send a writer tospend the night with a homeless person, insteadof the police officer who arrests him/her. Have awriter spend a day with a Muslim internationalstudent who encounters hostility from other stu-dents. Let two writers do opposing articles onworld events that don’t involve celebrities or Ap-ple’s new iPhone.

I love that the Kernel gives UK a voice, but Inow challenge the Kernel writers to use thatvoice in doing a better job depicting UK’s cam-pus beyond just the fanatic sports fans and Greekmembers.

Whitlow rises from the shadows

In the midst of what hasturned into his outcast fromthe Bluegrass, Joker Phillipsleft one fleeting calling cardin Commonwealth Stadium’sspotty shadows Saturdaynight.

There the Cats found thereminiscence of a former fig-

ure gracingthe field.

An in-jury to soph-omore quar-terbackMaxwellSmith mo-ments intothe Cats’first posses-sion trans-ferred thespotlight totrue fresh-man Jalen

Whitlow.Whitlow was Phillips’

next “Randall Cobb type ath-lete,” as he said during hisFeb. 1 National Signing Daypress conference.

“It’s hard to compare tobe with Randall Cobb, butthat’s what Randall waswhen we got him, we thinkhe’s the type of player,”Phillips said.

Albeit his first game, likeCobb, Whitlow wasn’t con-sidered a world-beater com-ing out of high school.

For the 6-foot-3, 200-pound athlete, choices werelimited among the high pro-file programs. It was the lureof UK’s SEC affiliation orplaying for former Auburnoffensive coordinator GusMalzahn at Arkansas Stateand try to mold into the nextCam Newton.

Whitlow, without everhaving set foot on campus,committed to Tee Martin priorto his departure for the Uni-versity of Southern California.

Entering the season, theglitz and glamour of Ken-tucky-bred Patrick Towlesmade Whitlow an after-thought.

Fans preemptively madeplans for him to become awide receiver — nothingmore than a future target forTowles.

Since the time of Towles’redshirting, Whitlow’s nameescalated.

The Wildcat formationwas supposed to be his onlyreason for seeing the field,according to the coachingstaff, but senior quarterbackMorgan Newton’s lack ofsuccess against Florida lastweek made Whitlow the onlyoption.

Saturday, against one ofthe nation’s top defenses,Whitlow again became thelone option — a giant stepafter Phillips’ midweek luke-warm praise saying he wasn’t“god awful” in practice.

Throughout his 2008freshman season, RandallCobb was given opportuni-ties to progress. Not Whit-low. Not now.

Circumstances around hisplaying time made a mere 10percent of the playbookavailable, according to offen-sive coordinator RandySanders.

His presence in thegame’s first half brought anaudible roar to Common-wealth, despite the lackingattendance.

“He didn’t have thebright eyes that you see insome guys,” Phillips said.“This guy just went out thereand played.”

He dodged, ducked,dipped, dived and dodgedsome more, and he wasn’teven playing dodgeball.

“We ran some plays I’venever seen before, and the

crazy thing was, he was ableto scramble and make someplays on a few of them,”Sanders said.

Probably his highlightwas a touchdown run in thesecond quarter in whichWhitlow faked a pass, caus-ing a Gamecock to take flightfor him to go underneath andin for the score.

Just as Whitlow dis-played in high school,Cobb’s first start featured thecurrent pro passing, catchingand receiving.

His senior season inPrattville, Ala., culminated in39-63 passing for 466 yards,644 yards rushing, 165 yardsreceiving and 21 total touch-downs.

The idea of a 6-foot-8 de-fensive end running himdown from behind isunimaginable in high school,

Whitlow said.Against those monsters

of the SEC he faced Satur-day, Whitlow completed 12of his 23 attempted passesfor 114 yards — highs datingback to his senior season —along with a touchdown run.

Given what he showedagainst such a formidable de-fense, and the amount oftime he had to produce,Phillips should expand oncreating UK’s next personifi-cation of excitement.

“We may have to add alittle more in for him becausehe can make plays with hisfeet,” Phillips said.

Still yet, Whitlow’s emer-gence from the shadowsgives him the chance to cre-ate his own legacy with animproved arm that left Cobbshifting his excitement toother areas.

nearly as busy as expected,”he said.”

UK graduate Nathan Mc-Divitt recalled when he was astudent.

“I think being over therewas a great atmosphere,” hesaid.

He believes the week-end’s policy went too far.

“I think they went to anextreme,” McDivitt said. “Alittle bit more securitywould’ve been a good step inthe right direction.”

He said students stillwould tailgate in neighbor-hoods, which has an effect onticket sales.

“The vast majority of thestudents won’t care that muchto come all the way back tothe stadium,” he said. “I sawa picture of the area today,and it was dull. The studentsection will definitely sufferbecause of that.”

Former UK football playerScott Robey said not allowingstudents to tailgate in The

Bowl could have negative ef-fects besides ticket sales.

“All you’ve done now isdisperse kids out away fromcampus and increase the po-tential of one them getting be-hind the wheel after they’vebeen drinking,” he said.

Ross Kushner, a friendand fellow tailgater ofRobey’s, thought safety wasthe key to the policy.

“It’s unfortunate, but Ithink the right thing was forthe president to ban it for thetime being,” he said.

The UK pharmacy alum-nus said when big crowds gettogether and alcohol is in-volved, anyone drinkingshould do so responsibly.

“I’m not saying we didn’tdrink when I was in college,”Kushner said. “I’m just say-ing we were responsible.”

He said he hopes studentsare allowed to tailgate as usu-al in The Bowl soon.

“Tailgating is the best partof the day,” he said. “I meanwe get inside the stadium, andthe score is ugly sometimes.”

UK volleyball continuedto roll through its SECschedule with a four-set vic-tory over Auburn (25-23, 22-25, 25-19, 25-17) in front of1,448 in Memorial Colise-um.

Junior Whitney Billingsearned her third consecutivedouble-double with 19 killsand 15 digs. Junior AlexandraMorgan broke out with a ca-reer-high 15 kills and seniorAshley Frazier added 10 kills.Senior Christine Hartmanndished out 45 assists andadded 12 digs.

“I felt like Auburn out-scrapped us for a lot of thematch, but we ended up withmore digs than they did soyou got to rely on your de-fense,” UK head coach CraigSkinner said. “We have tomake sure we are ready to go

each time. Sometimes youwin differently, and this wasanother way we won differ-ently.”

The first set saw a domi-nating Cats offense that wassuddenly cooled off by theTigers’ defense. UK beganwith seven of its first 11points as kills, but after takinga 20-13 lead, ran into a stiffdefense full of blocks.Though earning 13 kills, theCats hit .100 on the attack forthe set, including nine errors.The Cats won the set 25-23but Auburn left content,showing energy and life at theend.

Auburn’s stifling defensecontinued through the secondset as UK hit .171 whileAuburn dug out 20 attemptsby the Cats. Only Billings,with six of the Cats’ 13 kills,showed any consistency of-fensively. UK also had fiveunforced service errors in the

set (13 throughout thematch).

Billings’ hot streak con-tinued in the third set withseven kills in that set alone.She was not alone as Morganadded five kills and Frazierplaced four as UK earned 18kills as a team in the set. Thedefense added five blocksand totaled 15 blocks for thematch. Also key were 76digs for the Cats, superior toAuburn’s 72. Along withBillings and Hartmann, sen-ior libero Stephanie Klefotdug out 17 hits while sopho-more Jackie Napper added13 digs.

UK’s record moves to 9-6overall and 3-2 in the confer-ence while Auburn falls to12-4 overall and 3-3 in theSEC.

Next up for the Cats is aconference matchup in Ox-ford, Miss., against the OleMiss Rebels at 8 p.m. Friday.
