UK heads to MizzouSee keys to a Cats victory

UK President Eli Capi-louto addressed the Universi-ty Senate Council in a meet-ing that lasted almost threehours on Monday.

The meeting was calledin response to a critical mem-orandum the Senate sent toCapilouto last week.

Capilouto opened the

meeting with a 30-minutepresentation that discusseduniversity goals and chal-lenges, which was followedby a two-hour question-and-answer session.

The presentation focusedon UK’s vision of becominga “first choice” university.

Capilouto articulated a vi-sion of being the first choicefor students, research andservice, and health care, UK

spokesman Jay Blanton said. In turning this vision to

reality, the university facesseveral pressures, includingfinancial and competitiveforces.

Among the major issuesaddressed was a controversialuniversity policy that hasbeen around since the 1970s,which many were unaware ofuntil recently.

According to a story by

the Lexington Herald-Leader,UK pays 15 percent of ad-ministrators’ salaries directlyinto their retirement accounts.For other employees, UKmatches a five percent retire-ment contribution with a 10percent allocation, the Her-ald-Leader found using docu-ments obtained through thestate Open Records Act.

During the meeting,Capilouto pledged to put anend to the policy for futureadministrators, but he iskeeping the policy for admin-

istrators who have always re-ceived the benefit.

"It was not widely knownthis policy was in effect, andI'm glad he's making stridesto minimize its effects on thebudget," University SenateCouncil Chair Lee Blondertold the Herald-Leader.

Capilouto also discussedbudget concerns expressed bythe Senate in its memo.

Since 2007, UK has hadabout $50 million in recur-ring budget cuts, Blantonsaid.

In addition to the signifi-cant decrease in funding fromstate, federal funding for re-search is likely to be flat ordecline in coming years.

In its memo, the Senateexpressed concern about theuniversity’s financial issuesand the new budget plan.

Bob Grossman, the sen-ate’s vice chair, was pleasedto hear that no final decisionshave been made about thebudget, despite what has been

Blue-White game entertains,but doesn’t really show abilities

UK senior center Eloy Vargas dominat-ed the boards in the Blue-White game lastyear, pulling down 16 rebounds in the Blueteam’s 126-104 victory.

Those 16 rebounds are more than Var-gas accumulated in the final 21 games ofthe season.

Junior guard Darnell Dodson scored 26points in the 2009 Blue-White game, going4-for-11 from behind the arc in the Blueteam’s 106-73 win.

Dodson netted double-digits eight timesthat season, hitting four or more 3-pointers

in a game just three times. Wednesday night’s Blue-White scrim-

mage in Rupp Arena will likely be enter-taining for the fans, but it will not tell usmuch about how good this team is or howwell it will play together.

It will, however, be an event. Last year, the two teams combined for

230 points and countless highlight-reeldunks. Terrence Jones was in full beast-mode, shredding the non-existent defensefor 52 points and 16 rebounds, hitting 24-for-31 from the field.

It will be the first chance to watch sixroster newcomers perform in pseudo gameconditions.

Is Harrow as quick as everyone says?Is Poythress a “man,” as Jimmy Dykessaid last week? Has Wiltjer actually be-come both stronger and quicker? Some

The UK art depart-ment’s annual celebration ofthe metal arts program hasbeen called off for 2012.

This year would markthe Iron Pour’s 20th an-niversary.

The event has given thepublic and participants alook into the process ofmetal sculpture.

Minor injuries thatresulted from the 2011pour have left the futureof the event up in the air.

Garry Bibbs, head ofthe sculpture department,said the 2012 Iron Pourhas been canceled be-cause of a UK legal mat-ter.

The pour is usuallyhosted at the ReynoldsBuilding No. 2, knownto UK students as theMetal Arts Building.

Past celebrationshave provided studentsand other inspired artiststhe opportunity to create

their own iron artwork at areasonable cost, whichhelped the Student Sculp-ture Club (S.C.R.A.P.) raisefunds for the UK metal artsprogram.

Previous Iron Pourevents also included art ex-hibits showcasing student,faculty and professionalwork.

The process is interest-ing for those in attendance,

but also involves seriousrisks.

The pour involves theuse of extremely hot tem-peratures to melt the iron,and requires precautions.

“Due to this being a le-gal matter, it is not in the artdepartment’s best interest tomake any public statementswhile this case is in

Students, staff and UK of-ficials participated in a safetywalk on Monday night toevaluate safe routes and thesafety of students while theyare walking on campus.

About 30 representativesfrom campus organizationswalked from the North Cam-pus dorms to CommonwealthStadium, searching for unsafewalking paths or unlit areas.

“It was nice to see stu-dents interacting with staffand administrators from manydepartments and offices,” saidStudent Government VicePresident Mary KatherineKington.

Among the biggest con-

cerns were bushes along side-walks.

The representatives foundbushes to be too large or easyto hide in outside the StudentCenter and Chemistry-Physics Building.

“The places that we de-cided needed the most atten-tion were the walkway be-tween Rose Street and the li-brary (next to K Lair), and thewalkway from the parking lotacross from the library onHilltop Avenue (commonlyreferred to as the fraternitylot) toward the South Campusliving areas,” said JR Leach,director of community out-reach for Student Govern-ment. “There’s a large focuson not only re-evaluating, butredoing the entire path all to-

gether.”He said actual resurfacing

of Cats Path areas “wouldlikely have to be delayed tothe spring due to the neces-sary conditions for the sus-tainability of the paws.”

Leach said the weatherwould have to be warmer be-fore making changes.

Another area that needsimprovement is the walkwaybetween Pence Hall and theMargaret I. King Library. Thewalkway is a main connectorfor those living on SouthCampus trying to get toWhite Hall Classroom Build-ing.

LOS ANGELES — Fox announced Mon-day that it will be bringing back “The X Fac-tor” for a third season.

The current season kicked off with newadditions Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.Despite the hype of its new faces, the Season2 premiere averaged 8.5 million viewers,down more than 3 million from last year's pre-miere. Settling in, the Fox series is averaging a3.9 rating with adults age 18-49 and bringingin 10.6 million total viewers.

“I couldn't be happier about THE X FAC-TOR already being renewed for another sea-son,” the ever-confident Simon Cowell said ina lengthy statement. “I am so proud of theshow and the team who have made it this sea-son. I want to thank our incredible sponsorsfor their support and creativity, and FOX forgoing out of their way to do everything they

can to make this show a success. Most impor-tantly, I have to personally thank our amazingfans for the support and enthusiasm they havegiven to THE X FACTOR. Our main commit-ment will always be to find great talent, andlet's not forget, we are now days away fromour first live shows. The gloves are off! Ex-pect fireworks!”

But will Spears and Lovato be back forSeason 3? Spears' multimillion-dollar contractis only for one year — but maybe she'll con-sider coming back so that her memes will liveon. And we doubt Lovato is willing to give upher spats with Cowell.

Until then, there's still much to digest ofthis season. Khloe Kardashian and MarioLopez have signed to serve as the show's co-hosts — they're set to take the stage Nov. 1.

justments to decrease the cutsfor those units and programsthat they are feel are most im-portant for achieving (univer-sity) goals,” Grossman said.

The presentation also ad-dressed online education,which Capilouto believespresents both a challenge andan opportunity for UK.

The University of

Phoenix has offered onlineeducation for several years,and now institutions such asHarvard are exploring theidea further.

Now university officialsare deciding how to allocatetheir time and resources togrow online education at UK.

University Senate Coun-cil members had different re-actions to the meeting.

Although they don’t allagree on the paths being tak-en, they can agree on makingUK the best institution it canbe, Blanton said.

“This was an extraordi-nary meeting in response tothe memo,” Grossman said.“I’m hoping we don’t need tohave meetings like this often.”

In response to complaintsabout his lack of transparen-cy, Capilouto has agreed toattend more Senate meetings,all of which are open.

“The president’s take wasthat it was a good, thoroughand robust discussion,” Blan-ton said. “It needs to happenat an institution that is vibrantand is moving forward duringthis challenging time.”

Aside from the fewchanges to be made in resur-facing, lighting and treeovergrowth, Leach said thereare no major problems.

Safety walks the past twoyears have been pushed be-cause of the transition of Stu-dent Government representa-tives and have taken place inthe spring a few weeks be-fore the new representativestook office.

This left plans pushed to

With the safety walk inthe fall, Hoagland saidchanges would be madewithin two months.

“There were many high-traffic areas that need morelighting in order for our stu-dents to feel comfortabletraveling after dark,”Hoagland said.

Along with the freshideas from Monday night’swalk, Hoagland brought inthe ideas from last year’swalk that focused on new catpaws showing where moststudents walk.

“One goal of tonight wasdetermining if the existing

Cats Path is heavily traf-ficked at night,” Kingtonsaid. “I think by the numberof students we saw walkingabout that this is true.

“We want to work withthe university to ensure theCats Path is updated and ren-ovated as needed and are inthe process of having thoseconversations and ensuringthese changes happen in atimely fashion.”

Kington said informationgathered during the walk willbe brought to the university’sattention soon.

The Bluegrass CommunityFoundation has partnered withLexington Parks and Recre-ation to launch a 12-mile exer-cise leisure trail.

“We wanted to have anamesake project in Lexingtonafter the World EquestrianGames,” said Bluegrass Com-munity Foundation DirectorJerry Hancock. “We wantedsomething to leave a legacy ...

for 50-plus years.”According to the Legacy

Trail’s official website, morethan 8.5 miles of the trail werecreated back from the street,adding a greater sense of na-ture. The trail is paved to fa-cilitate mobility, using lime-stone as the main material inconstruction.

BCF’s Planning and De-sign Department said that anumber of the efforts to createthe trail came from volunteers,and means to stay within the

budget came from a localundisclosed bike club.

Local artists’ works arefeatured along the trail withdiffering themes.

“Most people come to en-joy the trail, but the artworkadds a whole other element tothe experience,” said KeithLovan of the city’s Division ofEngineering.

Lovan said the publicplans include measures to addadditional art bits to the trailsometime in the future.

Legacy Trail features astone amphitheater, handicapaccessibility, rest areas, gar-dens, bike racks and recyclingopportunities throughout.

“My boyfriend and I loveexercising together — we’vedone mud runs before and Iwould love for Legacy to haveone, or a 5K. It’s just so prettythere,” health sciences fresh-man Kaley Carney said.

Although there are noplans for any 5K races yet,Legacy volunteer and donationcoordinator Eric Howard saidthat Second Sunday is a popu-lar event that promotes healthylifestyles. It was hosted at thetrail this month.

The trail begins in down-town Lexington and covers thescope between the KentuckyHorse Park and Isaac MurphyMemorial Art Garden.

Tuesday afternoon, Ap-ple CEO Tim Cook and VicePresident of Marketing PhilSchiller took the stage in SanJose, Calif., to announce abarrage of new products, in-cluding two new iPads, anew MacBook Pro andiMac.

The iPad mini is set tocompete with 7-inch tabletsfrom Google and Amazon,and is ”thinner than a pencil,”Schiller told the crowd. Theannouncement was live-streamed online.

“It’s only 7.2 millimetersthick,” Schiller said. And at.68 pounds, it “is light as apad of paper.”

Its Wi-Fi is twice as fastas previous models, and it hasthe most advanced LTE tech-nology available, as well as alightning-dock connector, allon a 9.7 inch 1024-by-768screen.

“It is equal to or betterthan the iPad 2 in every way,he said.”

With a dual-core A5chip, FaceTime HD frontcamera, 5 MP iSight rearcamera and 10 hours of bat-tery, Schiller told the crowdthat the new iPad is a full

featured iPad that “you canhold in one hand.”

The iPad mini starts at16GB for $329, and pre-or-ders start Friday.

The iPad mini wasn’t theonly thing Apple announcedthat drew applause, though.

Six months after releasingthe third-generation iPad,Cook told the crowd “we’renot taking our foot off thegas,” as he unveiled the newfourth-generation iPad.

The ”new iPad” has anew A6X that Schiller toldthe crowd will double CPUperformance and graphic per-formance from the last iPad.

Other upgrades include anext-generation image-ser-vice-provider, FaceTime HDcamera, lightning-dock con-nector and Wi-Fi that’s twiceas fast.

The price remains thesame as previous iPads, start-ing at $499 for the 16GBmodel.

Other announcements in-cluded an eighth-generationiMac that is “as thick as atablet.”

“It’s stunning from everyside,” Schiller told the crowd.“It’s 5 millimeters thick onthe edge. ... That’s 80 percentthinner than the previousmodel.”

One way Apple achieved

this thinness was getting ridof the optical drive, butSchiller told the crowd not toworry because “those whoare stuck in the past” willhave the option of buying aUSB-connected drive.

Schiller said that the newiMac will use less memorythan previous models andwill come with an HD dis-play that has 75 percent lessreflection that previous mod-els.

The new iMac comes intwo sizes, a 21.5-inch and 27-inch model.

The 21.5-inch modelstarts at $1,299 and ships onNov. 27.

The 27-inch won’t shipuntil December and starts at$1,799.

Both iMacs come with awireless keyboard and MagicMouse (trackpad).

Apple also announced itsnew 13-inch MacBook Prowith a retina display.

Months after releasing the15-inch MacBook Pro withretina, Schiller told the crowdthat most customers like thesmallest MacBook Pro for itslightweight and portability,and its power.

At 3.75 pounds, Schillersaid, “It’s the lightest Mac-book ever.”

With a magsafe 2, thun-

derbolt, HDMI out and SDslot, the new 13-inch retinanotebook mirrors its 15-inchcousin in every way, includ-ing the absence of an opticaldrive.

The new MacBook startswith a 2.5Ghz dual-core i5processor, 8GB RAM and128GB of memory for $1,699and is on sale now.

Apple also announced anew Mac mini that starts at$699, with a 2.5 Ghz dual-core i7 processor, 4GMRAM, and 1TB HDD that isone sale now.

Cook closed by sayingthat in the first year withoutSteve Jobs at the helm, thecompany has done a lot tocarry on his legacy.

This year Apple releasediOS 6 and OS MountainLion, the new iPod Touch andiPod Nano, iPhone 5 andthree iPads.

Now it also has com-pletely refreshed its entireline of notebooks with retinadisplay models and the newiMac.

“We told you earlier thisyear that you’d see some in-credible innovation from Ap-ple across the year, innova-tion only Apple can deliver.We think we kept our prom-ise and we hope you agree,”Cook told the crowd.

Apple reveals new products

“The Price Is Right” re-cently hired its first malemodel and Chanel N°5 choseBrad Pitt as the face of itsnew perfume campaign.

It’s likely both of thesedecisions were made to boostratings and improve sales.Furthermore, “The Price IsRight” and Chanel N°5 areboth looking to gain a largerfemale audience.

Chanel N°5 is a women’sperfume. And according toCBSNews.com, “Most day-time TV viewers, after all,

are women. (Drew) Careysaid, ‘Yeah, well, somethingfor the ladies during the day-time, you know what Imean?’ ”

Rob Wilson, the mannamed “The Price is Right’s”first male model, clearly hasthe attention of women sincethe viewers chose himthrough a voting process.

And Pitt is clearly aladies man, but is the notionthat women will watch TVprograms and buy productssimply because of promo-tions from a good-lookingman necessarily true?

To further explore this top-ic, I looked to a piece in TheLos Angeles Times that cov-ered the “Saturday NightLive” spoof of Pitt’s new ad.

Taran Killam did the im-

personation and acted like hewas behind the scenes duringthe filming of the ad.

In the first lines of thereal commercial, Pitt says,“It’s not a journey. Everyjourney ends, but we go on.The world turns and we turnwith it.” Wait... what?

In the skit, Killam said,“Is there really no script, be-cause I’ve been talking tomyself for two hours straight.I’m starting to sound insane.”

But apparently even thespoof on “SNL” will do littleto deter buyers.

The LA Times reported:“When branding expert andGlobal Icons founder JeffLotman first saw the Pittvideo, he said he ‘thought itwas a little lame.’ But theend effect for Chanel will be

positive, he said. The paro-dies give the brand public at-tention, ‘which is everythingyou could really want’ as acompany, he said.”

It’s difficult for men to berespected in a female-domi-nated industry, especiallymodeling. But perhaps we,the women, are the peoplewho’ve made it that way.

Maybe we should starthaving more respect for malemodels as professionals andpeople instead of looking atthem like they’re, for lack of abetter phrase, a piece of meat.

And when we do this,maybe women won’t bestereotyped as being easilycoaxed into watching a TVshow because of a shirtlessman or buying a product be-cause of an attractive face.

Kent State readiesprotest museum

for opening

AKRON, Ohio — Step in-side a sleek museum at KentState and you’ll see every-thing from a freshmanbeanie to a poster with1969’s draft lottery numbersto graphic photos of wound-ed GIs.

This is the university’snewest record of the worldsurrounding the anti-warprotests of May 4, 1970, inwhich four students werekilled and nine wounded.

The university clearedpart of the ground floor ofTaylor Hall to create the May4 Visitors Center, which offi-cially will open at KSU’sHomecoming on Saturday.

The center will enablevisitors “to better understandthe events of that day setagainst the political and cul-tural changes of the times,”KSU President Lester Leftonsaid in a statement.

KSU invested $1.1 mil-lion in donations from thepublic, the university, veter-ans groups and the NationalEndowment for the Humani-ties to transform the former1,900-square-foot studentnewspaper office into threegalleries.

The exhibits depict the1960s, President RichardNixon’s expansion of thewar in Vietnam into Cambo-dia and what it meant atKent State and the aftermath.

The last often is under-played today, but it wasenormous at the time — 4million students nationwidewent on strike. The revoltsled to the closings of hun-dreds of colleges and univer-sities, many for the rest ofthe school year.

The design firm Gal-lagher & Associates of SilverSpring, Md., recaps thoseevents using artifacts, photosand maps. A new, nine-minute film weaves footagefrom the events with eyewit-ness reports and recollections.

Neither the film nor themuseum points the prover-bial finger at who was rightor who was wrong — the

National Guard, which firedon the students, or the stu-dents, who pelted theguardsmen with rocks andcalled them pigs.

“Some accept evidenceof an order to fire,” the filmreports evenhandedly. “Somedo not.”

But for some who werethere in those dark days, themuseum demonstratesKSU’s growing comfort withits legacy.

Dean Kahler, paralyzedfrom the waist down by aguardsman’s bullet, said heremembers when he didn’tfeel welcome on campus,when KSU administratorsbalked at talking of thetragedy, even though he wastruly a victim.

He was cautiously watch-ing events unfold, markingtime until his next class at1:10 p.m., when a stray bulletpierced his spine. A grainyphoto in the museum showshim on the ground, attendedby two students, just secondsafter the shooting.

“I didn’t want to get tooclose,” he recalls today.“Those people had rifles.”

Animosity also has fadedfor Jerry Lewis, the now-re-tired KSU sociology profes-sor who as one of five facul-ty marshals tried to quell theMay 4 disturbance.

He regularly receivedhate mail when he appearedin the media in the first fewyears after the shooting.

Sometimes the hate mailwas foolish — like the post-card labeled “confidential.”

KSU has paid tribute tothe events of May 4, 1970,in other ways over the years.

They include a seven-point walking tour narratedby civil rights activist JulianBond, and four bullards —or posts — that mark the lo-cation where the four stu-dents died.

Admission is free to theMay 4 Visitors Center,which will be open Mondaythrough Thursday and Satur-day from noon to 5 p.m. Thecenter also will be open forgroup tours by appointment.

A con-tender waswitnessedfor the firsttime in quitea while Sat-urday nightat Common-wealth Sta-dium.

No, thatcontenderwasn’t justthe Georgia

Bulldogs.For the first time since its

loss to Western Kentucky,UK showed it could contend.And it did so against the na-tion’s No. 11 team.

Entering the evening, theBulldogs had a lone loss on

the season, which was ablowout loss to South Caroli-na two weeks ago.

Just as the Gamecocksdid, the Cats exposed amediocre Georgia run de-fense, as they rushed for ateam total 206 yards.

Even when sophomorequarterback Maxwell Smithwas proving he could leadwith a high-volume passinggame, the Cats’ stable ofpowerful, SEC-like runningbacks was thought to be abetter option.

It can be said they’ve hadtheir faults, but they’ve beenthe offense’s most consistentresource.

One area the Cats’ coach-ing staff can’t point to withthat notion is the passinggame, which is where thisweek’s areas of improvementbegin.

1. PassingA mixed set of rushers,

consisting of running backsJonathan George and Ray-mond Sanders, along with

freshman quarterback JalenWhitlow, maneuvered theirway down the field through-out the game Saturday.

Once in the red zone, UKhead coach Joker Phillipsopted to bring in senior Mor-gan Newton as the team’swildcat formation quarter-back. Newton did his part —scoring two touchdowns,once on a pass and anotheron the run.

What wasn’t evident wasthat either of those previous-ly mentioned quarterbackscould lead the team acrossthe 50-yard line with a pass-ing game.

Whitlow was 9-13 for 86yards, but through four quar-ters that doesn’t add up tomuch (6.6 yard average).

Newton and Whitlowfound themselves in oppor-tunistic situations on somedeeper passes. However, nei-ther could successfully planta pass where the receivercould make a play on it.

Saturday wasn’t the only

case of this problem for theteam. It has been frequent inrecent weeks, as the Catshave often been stagnant onoffense.

If Phillips and offensivecoordinator Randy Sandersthink interchanging quarter-backs is a good idea, whynot at least try freshmanwalk-on Jeff Witthuhn toprovide a true passing threat?

A bowl game is now nolonger an option, so the teamhas nothing to lose andnowhere to go but up. Seewide receiver Matt Roarkplaying against Tennesseelast season as an example.

2. Pass defenseThe excuses for the sec-

ondary being young are get-ting old.

As Phillips alluded to af-ter the Cats’ loss, “you don’tallow them to throw overyour head.”

“That’s the thing, we’vegiven up the X plays, whichhas cost us.”

In giving up the “X

plays,” the Cats have line-backers who are also gettingoutmanned underneath.

Georgia junior quarter-back Aaron Murray set per-sonal bests in completionsand yards, as he was able tofind receivers, notably juniorTavarres King, wherever,whenever he wanted.

Beyond the line, the Catssimply don’t look awarewhen a quarterback is set tobring the attack to them. AndMurray did so 38 times, 30of which he came out a win-ner.

While the young second-ary did give up the big plays,freshman cornerback CodyQuinn agrees they have tolearn from such mistakes,which they have seen oftenbetween Murray andArkansas senior quarterbackTyler Wilson last week.

3. Return gameThe biggest helping hand

for the UK offense Saturdaywas the field position oftenacquired by freshman kick

returner DeMarcus Sweat.His speed and size make

him a tough tackle for anydefense, but if he can do soagainst such a formidable op-ponent, then given what UKhas left on the schedule, heshould be able to continuehis aid.

Sweat had five returns inthe loss that averaged out to22.2 yard per return, includ-ing a long of 34.

As of Sunday’s update,UK ranks just above halfwayat No. 56 in kick returns.

While success was foundthere, the Cats also must finda way to better protect on theother end when Sweat needsto return a punt.

Despite the Bulldogs’five punts, a fair catch hadto be called on each andevery one.

If an opponent is pinneddeep in its own territory, hav-ing the chance to makemoves on a punt return iskey for a team with a lack-luster offense.

With no bowl in sight, UK should switch up passers

Cats look for competitive gameagainst new SEC foe Missouri

Since the turn of the cen-tury, SEC football has built itsreputation as the premier con-ference in the NCAA on bal-anced, pro-style offenses andfast, overwhelming defenses.

In a day and age wheresome of the nation’s top pro-grams and conferences havebegun to adopt new inovativeoffenses, the SEC has man-aged to win each of the pastsix national championshipspredicated on consistent of-fense and dominating de-fense.

So when UK travels toColumbia, Mo., to take on itsnew SEC East brothers, theMissouri Tigers, it won’t justbe playing another conferencegame — it will be welcominga completely new look to aconference built upon tradi-tion.

Missouri brings morethan just a new stadium, anew fan base and a new stateto the SEC. The Tigers bringa spread offense from theirformer home, the pass-happyBig 12 conference, to a con-ference that saw eight formerdefensive players drafted inthe first 25 picks of last year’sNFL draft.

The transition to the SEChas been difficult for theTigers. The team has lost itsfirst four SEC games sincemoving to the conference, in-cluding 21-point losses toGeorgia and South Carolinaand a 22-point loss to Ala-bama.

UK lays claim to its own0-5 record in SEC play and isjust as desperate to earn itsfirst conference win of theseason. If UK wants to getout of the basement of theSEC East and snap its six-game losing streak, it willhave to shut down the spread

offense.“We’ve got to do a good

job of playing in space,” UKhead coach Joker Phillipssaid.

Stopping explosive pass-ing games has been a strugglefor the Cats’ defense this sea-son. In the past two weeks,UK has allowed Georgia’sAaron Murray and Arkansas’Tyler Wilson to throw for acombined 799 yards and ninetouchdowns while completingmore than 76 percent of theirpasses.

UK continues to suffer in-jury problems in its second-ary, with veterans MartaviusNeloms, Cartier Rice andMikie Benton still listed day-to-day. The five true fresh-men who have received regu-lar playing time in the back-end of UK’s defense will facetheir greatest challenge of theyear in Missouri’s spread of-fense.

“Those guys will com-pete,” Phillips said of his truefreshmen in the secondary.“(They) don’t back downfrom anything. You don’t seethose guys change when theyget beat, and they will getbeat. They’re young kids thatstill try to find their way, buttheir demeanor doesn’tchange when they give up aplay.”

The Tigers will be playingtheir own true freshman Sat-urday in quarterback CorbinBerkstresser, who is complet-ing less than 50 percent of hispasses on the year. But withtwo starts now under his beltand a bye week to prepare forthe Cats’ porous defense,Tigers coach Gary Pinkellhopes this is the week his of-fense can get back on track.

Saturday will be an op-portunity for Missouri to fi-nally arrive in the SEC. It is achance for the Tigers to showthey can make the spread of-

fense work in a defense-heavy conference. It is achance for them to assert thatthey can hang with the bestconference in the country; itis a chance for them to showthe nation the SEC brand isnot impenetrable.

But for UK, Saturday is achance to silence all of thatchatter. The Cats are certain-ly underdogs in this matchup,but a win would be more thanthe team’s first in conferencethis season. A win in Colum-bia would show just how harda transition to the SEC canbe, just how good the confer-ence is from top to bottom,and just how much pridethese Cats are playing withfor their team, their universi-ty, their commonwealth andnow their conference.

“It’s not been the seasonwe really want it to,” seniordefensive end Taylor Wynd-ham said. “But we’re still go-ing to come out and com-pete.”

letter to the editor

Every year a variety of student organizations across cam-pus work hard to make the tradition of UK’s homecoming onethat is meaningful and inclusive of the entire student body.This year was no exception.

Formed in February 2010, the University of KentuckyHomecoming Coalition gathers every year to build a scheduleof events that engages the interests of every student. It helpsthat the coalition itself is comprised of a broad representationof the student body. It includes members from the Student Ac-tivities Board, Student Government, Center for CommunityOutreach, DanceBlue, Black Student Union, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow andTeam Wildcat.

Since its creation, the coalition has succeeded in invitingthe entire UK community to participate in the tradition ofhomecoming. This year, like always, it welcomed every stu-dent organization to participate in Paint the Town Blue, builda float for the annual Homecoming Parade and nominate a

student within their organization to become this year’s home-coming king or queen. It also encouraged organizations tocompete for the Wildcat Cup in fraternity, sorority and non-Greek divisions.

Overall, 44 organizations took part in homecoming eventsthis past week. The Homecoming Coalition even saw six stu-dent organizations participate for the first time. Newcomersincluded First Generation Initiatives, Crafty Cats, the VIPCenter and Delta Sigma Phi.

Moreover, last week’s key events, including the Dance-Blue 5K, the NPHC Step Show, Mr. & Ms. Black UK, theHomecoming Pep Rally, the Homecoming Parade and thehomecoming game itself, provided a variety of opportunitiesfor individuals to take part in the week’s festivities. Addition-ally, all UK students were given the opportunity to cast theirvote for homecoming royalty.

The coalition even reached out to the Lexington communityat-large. Kitty Karnival let school-aged children have fun on

campus with games and activities set up by student organiza-tions. And the Homecoming Parade’s location: downtown —for the second year in recent history — made it easy for Lex-ington residents and students alike to enjoy the spectacle. Withsuch a variety of events taking place across campus throughoutthe week, Homecoming 2012 provided every student the oppor-tunity to become engaged in the rich tradition of UK.

As a longtime Wildcat, I am pleased to see so many indi-viduals and organizations taking advantage of this opportuni-ty. For those who participated this year, I hope that you foundfun and enrichment in “Building on Tradition” at UK. Forthose who did not, I eagerly encourage you to get connectedwith next year’s homecoming celebration.

Each and every student, whether current or past, deservesto experience why Homecoming is the greatest week of theyear to be a Wildcat!

Homecoming Coalition building tradition at UK

kernel editorial

The University Senate Councilmade headlines across the state for de-livering a scathing memorandum toPresident Eli Capilouto detailing waysthey think his administration is fallingshort in its mission.

The memo asked Capilouto for apoint-by-point response to their criti-cisms, and given the strongly wordednature of the memo and its public na-ture, the special meeting was neces-sary.

Among the criticisms of theCapilouto administration was a lackof transparency, so it should be nosurprise that the meeting was hostedin the Student Center Center Theaterand live-streamed on the UK web-site.

However, hosting a forum wherefaculty could ask questions and Capi-louto could explain his decisions isnot enough.

Capilouto must take the recom-mendations of the faculty seriouslyand consider the needs of the facultywith all budget-related decisions mov-ing forward.

Professors are extremely importantto this institution and are taking onmore responsibilities without pay rais-es. They went as far as accusing Capi-louto of creating a “false crisis.”

The faculty questioned how Capi-louto was allocating UK’s limited re-sources while laying off faculty.

There is no question UK’s budgetis continually getting cut and tough decisionswill have to be made.

However, new accusations from the facul-ty ask the questions: Who should be forced tofeel the brunt of these cuts?

The Lexington Herald-Leader reportedthat some top administrators at UK have beenreceiving extra benefits.

The Herald-Leader reported that underthe policy, UK pays an equivalent of 15 per-cent of their salaries into their retirement ac-

counts. UK matches other employees’ 5 per-cent retirement amounts with a 10 percentpayment. The extra benefit for administratorstotals nearly $300,000.

If faculty, staff and students are allforced to make sacrifices during this time of

budget cuts while the university at-tempts to grow, shouldn’t many ofthe highest-paid administrators take acut in their extra benefits, which areadditional to their already highersalaries, while their colleagues havereceived no increase in their regularpay?

Because UK is a public institu-tion for which its employees’ salariesare public information, and thesebenefits for top administrators arenot included in the salary numbersprovided to both the Kernel and theHerald-Leader, the benefits give theperception that this public institutionis conducting business behind closeddoors.

The Herald-Leader also reportedthat Capilouto said the benefit wouldnot be offered to future administrators,such as new General Counsel BillThro, who started this month.

To end this program for new hiresis fair, but keeping it in place for oth-ers is not.

With a potential second round ofbudget cuts looming, UK must re-member everyone should have tomake sacrifices for improving thisinstitution, crisis or not.

What ultimately might be mostupsetting isn’t that these administra-tors had a better retirement plan, butinstead that few knew about it.

But if more cuts are coming, ouradministration must remember that it

is a part of the UK community and when it istime to cut from programs on campus — put-ting a heavier burden on students, faculty andstaff — UK’s leaders should remember alsoto look at themselves.

Faculty Senate justified in criticism of administration

questions will be answered,but not many.

UK head coach JohnCalipari is flirting with thenotion of playing two bigs,freshmen Nerlens Noel andWillie Cauley-Stein, together— possibly creating a nearimpenetrable interior defense.

That lineup is unlikely tobe unveiled Wednesday, andif it is, would create massivemismatches on both sides ofthe court.

If you put those two to-gether in a scrimmage, whois going to guard them?

Most likely, the two bigguys will battle each otherthe entire 40 minutes, whichwill be interesting, but large-ly unimportant.

Noel missed most of thesummer workouts while fo-cusing on academics due tohis reclassification, and highschool multi-sport standoutCauley-Stein has focusedcompletely on basketball forthe first time ever just thepast couple of months. Nei-ther player has developed hisoffensive game yet, and bothshould be significantly differ-ent players as the seasonwears on.

Adding to the festivitieswill be the showing of theESPN UK All-Access pro-

gram at Rupp Arena. Imme-diately following the Blue-White game, the first andsecond episodes of the serieswill be broadcast on the are-na’s big screens.

The scrimmage takes

place at Rupp Arena Wednes-day, with tip-off slated for 7p.m.

There will be dunks, lotsof fast breaks and plenty ofscoring. Expect to be enter-tained, but not informed.
