Kernel rejuvenates format to engage and inform readers PAIDIN DERMODY Editor in Chief
The start of the new school year here at UK is signifying the start of the new Kentucky Kernel, a more innovative and productive publication geared toward getting the best quality news out to our readers. We’ve been refocusing our activities to rejuvenate both our print and digital publications. The new format will be a weekly magazine with daily online publications. This move to digital first will allow us to

cover the immediate news online on our site and on social media, and focus on the longer, human interest stories in the magazine. “I want to see our online presence double, if not triple, this year,” Managing Editor Katherine Manouchehri said. “Readers can look forward to several new aspects on the web and other social platforms, like Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook.” A student-run publication should be an engaging environment for our readers to come to for content and commentary on university and local issues of import to the student body, alumni and local readership. “One of my goals is in-
creased coverage,” News Editor Bailey Vandiver said. “I don’t want any event or information to go by and for me to have to say, ‘We should’ve covered that.’ I want the Kernel news desk to be a constant source of information online and the news in the magazine to be both insightful and entertaining for everyone who picks up a copy.” As Editor-in-Chief, I wish to have a substantive impact on our paper, university and community. My staff will be driven by the highest level of journalistic values, ethics and integrity. While I may not have all the answers, together we will ask the right questions, while uncovering and putting forth the facts, in an informative and engaging manner for the benefit of our readers.

What’d I miss? Basketball Tickets
Men’s basketball tickets are now $10 for students. Previously, tickets were $5. UK Athletics hopes the increased cost will motivate students to actually use the tickets they purchase and show up to the games, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. This is the first change in student ticket pricing since the 1990s.

By Bailey Vandiver | news@kykernel.com Being away from campus for summer break means missing out on some important news, especially if you don’t follow the Kentucky Kernel on social media or check your email all that often. Here are a few things you missed that you need to know as we begin another semester at UK.
New Residence Halls
With the completion and opening of Lewis Hall and University Flats this summer, UK’s revitalization of campus housing is complete, according to UKNow. The project lasted four years, cost nearly $450 million and resulted in 6,800 beds in 14 new residence halls. Lewis Hall and University Flats include unique elements, including UK Design student murals spread throughout common areas in the buildings. These six designers have their murals featured, according to UKNow: Emily Corner, Lauren Delvanthal, Chris Mancuso, Jessica Moore, Jacqueline Sanchez and Sarah Zezima.

Kroger Field Sign
After a spring announcement of the name change from Commonwealth Stadium to Kroger Field, it became set in stone over the summer. Out with the old and in with the new: the Commonwealth sign came down and the Kroger Field sign went up. After a mishap resulting in the sign reading “Roger Field,” the sign is finished and ready for the start of football season.
UK Dining is implementing a few changes for the start of the new semester. A new Drink Card Program is available to students, faculty and staff, allowing unlimited beverage refills at on-campus dining locations, according to the UK Dining website. There is also a new VIP All Access Meal Plan, offering more benefits than ever before, including more Wildcat Deals, the free all-access drink program and some free meals for students’ parents. More information about both can be found on the UK Dining website. According to a sign posted outside of The 90 complex, Ovid’s will be replaced by Papa John’s.
New Faculty
Two new administrative faculty members were announced via campus-wide email over the summer. Dr. Mark F. Newman accepted a position as the Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, which he will begin on Oct. 1. He is coming from a position at Duke University Medical Center. “He has practiced and served in far-flung places, but Kentucky is his home,” UK President Eli Capilouto wrote in his email. Christian Brady accepted the position of the first ever dean of the Lewis Honors College, according to an email from UK Provost Tim Tracy. He is coming from Penn State University. “Christian is passionate about honors education and the prospect of making Lewis Honors College one of the finest in the country as part of a distinctive undergraduate educational experience at UK,” Tracy wrote.

Construction to change face of UK
By McKenna Horsley news@kykernel.com
The average UK student is no stranger to closed walkways, the sounds of jackhammers and traffic cones signaling campus construction projects. However, these small nuisances can lead to huge campus changes. As students and faculty return to campus for the upcoming semester, they may find some of these changes already affecting campus. Dall Clark, UK’s Capital Construction Director, said that the Student Center project will be completed in two phases. In January, food services will open and in April, the rest of the building will open, which includes the Barnes & Noble Bookstore, student social spaces, PNC Bank, Alumni Gym, UK Federal Credit Union and more. Clark said that Bowman’s Den, which has acted as a
temporary Student Center during construction, will remain open until April. The university will later decide what to put in the building. In the summer, UK announced a new College of Law renovation project that plans to be completed in early spring 2019. The facility will hold more classrooms, faculty offices and courtrooms and be expanded by 26,000 square feet. The finished project will also have an opening facing Memorial Hall. Clark said the Law building project will be a “complete modernization,” similar to the construction on Gatton College of Business and Economics. During the project, faculty and students will be housed in the Lexington Theological Seminary, across from the law building. “There’s been a tremendous change in the past ten See FACE OF UK on page 4

City to relocate statues, UK denounces hate
By Kat Manouchehri news@kykernel.com
Kentucky is no stranger to racism, but as society grows, there is a desperate need for the eradication of hatred toward a single race. After the violent white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, Lexington Mayor Jim Gray announced plans to relocate the city’s Confederate statues, following the nationwide effort of the removal of Confederate statues from public property. “The plan we are working to implement would keep the statues in Lexington, in a place where we can offer opportunities to learn more about our authentic history,” Susan Straub, a spokeswoman for the city, said. “We are not erasing history.” The statues of Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan and John C. Breckinridge that stand on the lawn of the former Fayette County Courthouse are set to be relocated by the end of this year, Straub said. “It’s just not right for us to continue to honor these Confederate men who fought to preserve slavery on the same ground that men, women and even children were once sold into a life of slavery,” Gray said in a statement Tuesday, Aug. 15. Gray proposed relocating the statues to Veterans Park along with two monuments representing the Union effort, according to his statement Tuesday. “We are restoring our historic courthouse and it will become our visitors center, so we want it to be a place that welcomes everyone,” Straub said. “In

addition, the statues do not tell the story of our authentic history, and we think it is important to do that.” Earlier this week, white nationalists reportedly announced they plan to gather in Lexington to protest the removal of the Confederate statues, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. “In the event something happens, our police officers are well trained and prepared,” Straub said. UK President Eli Capilouto sent a campus-wide email denouncing “hate, bigotry and violence,” stating that it was not allowed in the UK community. Campus police are also aware of the potential threat, and are prepared to take action, if needed. “Campus safety officers are aware of the potential rally and will take any precautions necessary,” UK Student Government Association President Ben Childress said. “Currently there is a plan to coordinate with many other groups and put together an alternative event for students that focuses on our own UK community.”
Childress signed a statement in solidarity with student body presidents across the nation expressing sadness and a commitment to making college campuses places “to call home, not places of violence, hate and racism.” Childress said his hope for UK students after these recent events will spur an open dialogue within the community. “My hope is that these overt displays of racism and hate will bring light to these issues and engage students in a healthy dialogue about racial issues in our community who otherwise might abstain from the conversation,” Childress said. “Going forward my hope for our campus community is that we will take care of each other and be each others keeper,” Childress said. “I want us to be the type of community that stands up for one another and supports each other when we see someone hurting from anxiety or depression, and when we see someone being the target of any kind of hate or identity-based violence.”

years,” Clark said. “The university, either through its own funding or private means, has invested an excess of $2 billion, so there’s been a lot of changes.” When deciding on which campus building to renovate or build, Clark said that the university is guided by the Master Plan, which determines the layout of campus and is updated every few years. UK’s Office of the President decides the timing and priority of construction projects. The conditions of a facility play a large role in deciding on potential projects, Clark said. UK has a large backlog of deferred maintenance work. Program growth can also play a factor in creation of construction projects. Safety is the university’s number one priority when building these projects, Clark said. The construction department notifies the campus community about ongoing projects through a listserv found on their website, campus newsletters and UK Public Relations. University representatives also walk around the construction site and require contractors to have
weekly safety talks with construction crews. While some students do appreciate the finished projects, they do find the process a little inconvenient. Mechanical engineering junior Christian Hurst said that he hears a lot of students complain about construction noise in the morning while they are trying to sleep. He has also noticed some convenient walkways have been blocked by construction. “As a whole, I feel like they are doing some good projects, but of course it does make things a lot slower to get around campus. It does cause some inconveniences. I am excited about some construction though like the new Student Center,” Hurst said. When Hurst was applying to colleges, he did not rank colleges solely on their facilities, but UK’s new dorms and academic buildings were a bonus to him. Now entering his junior year, Hurst believes that UK creates more construction projects than the average college campus based on input from his friends at other universities. Clark said that he doesn’t think UK spends more re-
sources than other colleges on construction and updating existing faculties. “Obviously, it varies from college to college, but I wouldn’t say that UK is any more invested than any other college,” Clark said. “Building 21st century facilities is very important to all universities. Many of us have aged infrastructure, or aged facilities that need modernization and one of our goals going forward is to do a lot of modernization on older, historical building stock, so we hope to bring those into the 21st century and modernize those in the next few years.” Clark said that improving facilities on campus benefits retention rates, health, engagement and recruitment of both students and faculty. “I think that the physical look and feel of a campus plays a large role in the general health and community of the campus.” If anyone has questions or concerns about construction, they can find employees’ contact information on the construction department’s website. A campus map detailing impacts of construction can also be found on the website.

Endangered species: Lecture classes
DALTON STOKES Kernel Columnist
Classes are here and the reality of school starting is finally setting in, but there is one comfort that can be taken: Lecture classes may be on their way to extinction. In the past few decades, there has been a movement slowly gaining traction in the world of education against lecture teaching methods. Studies conducted over the years and general experiences of college professors have
revealed the lecture method isn’t very effective. A study, conducted in 2013, by the National Academy of Science of the United States of America, found that active learning techniques increase learning by a considerable amount, and lecture classes increase failure rates by approximately 55 percent. Active learning techniques are ones that keep the student active in their own education. They are presented as more interactive, tend to integrate technology and are contemporary in nature. In 2012, two Stanford University seniors challenged universities far and wide to begin
“flipping” their classes, reforming the outdated teaching methods and introducing more interactive methods. Just four years after, the University of Vermont announced its medical school would no longer have lecture classes. Instead, they would have classes in which the students come to class having learned the material the previous night or having watched an online mini-lecture made by the professor. The students then have class in groups, or pods, in which they have an interactive learning experience where they learn hands-on with either technology or examples of the content they are learn-
ing. These learning techniques also focus on hitting key aspects of different learning styles as to not leave any learning types out of the mix. There is a large push-back against this movement and it is kicking up a lot of dust not only at this university but the entire academic community. Many more classically trained professors are criticizing and resisting the transition. In an interview with Inside Higher ED, William Jeffries, senior associate dean for medical education at UVM, said, “That internal oomph or dopamine release that you get when you lecture and
are the center of attention is a barrier to converting faculty.” Universities are also worried about money. They are worried about losing many of their grants and donations, as many are from alumni who are supportive of a more classical method of teaching higher education. Seeing this large push to end lecture classes elsewhere creates a possibility of seeing the effects at UK in the next few years. This change in the way education is addressed is something students may be able to push for and request from the UK administration. Email opinions@kykernel. com.
Kernel’s declassified college survival guide BLAKE BLEVINS Opinions Editor
Classes are beginning at UK; for new student and veterans alike, the beginning of the year is a good time to adopt some new habits. Decide to do better this year than last, and consider these tips to be as successful as possible. Don’t Buy Books Before They’re Needed It’s easy to jump the gun and order your books before classes begin. Buying books too soon, however, can prove counter-productive rather than proactive. Often, professors provide free online access to books, or even state buying them isn’t mandatory. With the campus bookstore open every day and e-books purchasable at a minute’s notice, waiting until you know you need the book to buy it could

electronic scheduling system that works for them.
Read the Syllabus Some students mistakenly see ‘syllabus week’ as a time to lay back and enjoy a lighter workload. Taking time to read the syllabi for classes can give a better idea of how to prepare and what is expected. Furthermore, syllabi contain grading procedures and the terms of the class, which students should be aware of. Professors are human and sometimes make mistakes, so it’s good for students to know what they are and aren’t responsible for, just in case an issue arises.
Be Active in Class Being active in class may seem like a vague phrase, but it makes all the difference. Rather than treating lectures or class-time like an hour lost, leverage your time to make an impression on your professors and peers. Making connections, whether it’s future homework help or a favor from an instructor, is a crucial part of succeeding. Lean in, ask questions and introduce yourself to your professors and classmates.
Buy a Planner The syllabi students should be reading contain schedules for different classes. These schedules are not made collaboratively, which means professors do not accommodate other classes. In order to keep track of five or six (often conflicting) schedules, students should either buy a planner or find an
Don’t Get Left Behind Things are always happening around campus. All of this action makes it easy to get distracted. In order to prevent miserable, panic-stricken all-nighters in the future, students should be attentive now. Check Canvas often and don’t wait until the last minute for assignments. Hopeless procrastinators should write down due dates
at least a day early. Fix Your Mistakes Even the perfect student practicing all of these tips and more will eventually mess up. Failed exams and papers destroyed with red ink should not be seen as losses but as chances to improve. The university offers many resources to help students work through their academic problems. The Study offers drop-in peer tutoring, Presentation U lets students give their presentation to a team of other students who will provide feedback and the Writing Center will proof any paper students bring them. In addition, professors love a chance to sit down with any student and work through a knowledge gap. This is not an exhaustive list. The most important tip to being the best student possible is for everyone to find what works for them. All people learn differently, and no one can account for every potential obstacle. The only perfect solution to any problem is to face every-
thing with a growth mindset. The whole point of college is to learn, and if students are learning from both their classes and their own experiences, improvement will always follow. Email opinions@kykernel. com.

Tuition going up, debt going up, it’s bringing us all down By Bailey Vandiver | news@kykernel.com
Clay Ramey grew up 76 miles away from his dream college. Throughout his entire life in Burlington, Kentucky, Ramey wanted to go to UK. He came from a family of Wildcats fans, including parents and a brother who attended the college. But when he graduated high school, his next stop was not UK. Instead, he enrolled at Bluegrass Community and Technical College, a decision that brought cheaper tuition, among other benefits. He’s entering his fifth semester at BCTC, where he is studying RAMEY chemical engineering. For the most part, Ramey said, he’s been able to live as a UK student, though he feels he’s missed out on some student life experiences because he didn’t live on UK’s campus. “It was my dream school,” he said of the university he has not yet attended. Autumn Hamlin grew up 990 miles away from her dream college. She grew up in Texas but had family ties to Kentucky— her grandparents, native Kentuckians, had passed down their love for the UK Wildcats. As she approached graduation from her Houston high school and began her search for colleges, she knew she wanted to go out-of-state. She visited, liked and enrolled at Louisiana State University. Then she attended her aunt’s wedding in Lexington. Clearly love was in the air that weekend, because Hamlin fell headover-heels in love with UK, a college she had already described as her HAMLIN dream school. That very day, she unenrolled from LSU and applied to UK. “Crazy, right?” Hamlin said. She said her year at UK was everything she could ever ask for, from being front row at every UK basketball game to being called back for a role in a campus production. “My first year was practically a dream come true,” Hamlin said. However, after only one semester, Hamlin realized the magnitude of the financial strain on her and her family. She decided that leaving UK was the best option. “No matter how hard it was to leave this fairy tale,” Hamlin said. 8 | kentucky kernel

College is a fairy tale for few people these days. The atmosphere of higher education is changing, from who goes to college, where they go and how much they pay for it. At UK, tuition continues to rise as enrollment continues to fall, and the student body is ever changing. With all the changes that have already come, what can be next for higher education? Who’s going? First-time enrollment at UK for the fall of 2017 is about 4,900, according to unofficial numbers from UK Personal Relations and Marketing Executive Director Jay Blanton. Though preliminary numbers will not be available until September, the administration and Board of Trustees used an approximate anticipated number for budgeting purposes. Last fall’s enrollment was about 5,200, according to Blanton. Blanton said the enrollment number of 4,900 was by design, meaning it is a goal and a number used for planning. “We always want to ensure that we are continuing to make progress toward improving retention and graduation rates as we are aiming to progress to a 90 percent retention rate and a 70 percent graduation rate by 2020 as contemplated by our Strategic Plan,” Blanton said. At UK, incoming student numbers have fallen since 2014, according to UK Institutional Research and Advanced Analytics. According to Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) Executive Director of Data, Research and Analysis David Mahan, first-time, full-time enrollment grew for more than 20 years, but now it’s flat or diminishing in most parts of the country.
Only a few populations are increasing in college enrollment, Mahan said. Only the Hispanic population is still growing, though “nontraditional” students are growing as well. Nontraditional students are typically older than 25 and may already have some college completed. More in-state students have always attended UK than out-of-state students, but the number of first-time students coming from outof-state has steadily grown
dents as well as the commonwealth of Kentucky, Blanton said, particularly because about 40 percent of those students stay in the state after graduation. Where are they going?

left behind in some cases. Mahan said that when the economy is flourishing, people are less likely to return to school. UK and other state schools may be losing students to other states, particularly if students can find a way to qualify for in-state tuition at other colleges. One way to qualify is to choose a major that no Kentucky institution offers. Mahan cited the University of Alabama and the University of South

nearly every year. In the fall of 2016, nearly 39 percent of incoming students were from outside Kentucky. Approximately 32 percent of the entire fall 2016 population at UK was from out of state. This is higher than the average out-of-state population at Kentucky’s higher education institutions, which is approximately 19 percent according to CPE data. Blanton said that UK administration has placed an emphasis on recruiting outside the state in recent years, and the out-of-state population has grown in that time. An out-of-state population helps UK stu-
Some, like Ramey, seem to be choosing community and technical colleges over more expensive colleges like UK. However, Kentucky Community and Technical College System institutions have had recent declines in enrollment as well. The last time the 16 colleges in the system had collective growth in enrollment was 2010. In 2014-15, the most recent year CPE has data for, 11.8 percent of KCTCS students transferred to UK, ranking fourth among public four-year institutions. All Kentucky higher education institutions may be
Carolina as destinations for Kentucky students leaving the state. Of course, the same is true in reverse: UK is likely attracting out-of-state students with in-state tuition if their major isn’t offered in their home state. How much are they paying? According to the College Board, tuition and fees at public four-year institutions rose 9 percent between the 2011-12 and 2016-17 school years. At UK, the tuition and fees for in-state students in 2017-18 is nearly 29 percent higher than it was in

2011. Since last year, the instate tuition rose 4 percent, corresponding to $18.8 million more from tuition this year, according to the UK Budget. Blanton said that “only a handful of years ago,” the average annual increases in tuition was more than 10 percent. The 4 percent raise was the maximum allowed by the CPE. “The Council has done its part to coordinate and minimize needed tuition increases over the past few years,” Mahan said. For out-of-state students like Hamlin, the rise in tuition and costs was 6.5 percent. Out-of-state students are typically charged twice as much as in-state students. Possible reasons for increases in tuition, according to Mahan: declining state revenue coupled with increasing costs (for employee benefits and facilities, for example) and flat or falling enrollment. A 4 percent increase may not seem like much until it translates into thousands more dollars of debt for thousands of students. According to Student Loan Hero, 44 million Americans owe a total of $1.4 trillion in student loan debt. For the class of 2016, the average was $37,172 per student, which is 6 percent higher than last year’s average. Hamlin said that due to confusion about scholarship availability and deadlines, she accumulated $45,000 of student loan debt in her first year alone. She said her aunt, a 2000 UK alumna, is still paying off student debts of her own and expects to make her last payment in 2038. Revenue from tuition makes up 13 percent of UK’s annual budget. Enrollment interacts with tuition when the Board of
Trustees projects enrollment for and therefore how much revenue the university will receive from tuition for budgeting purposes. “(Tuition) is always the last part of the budget we determine as the goal is always to hold down costs as much as possible to make a high-quality education at UK as accessible and affordable as possible,” Blanton said. Blanton said that UK President Eli Capilouto has emphasized increasing financial aid that does not have to be paid back. This year, UK will provide about $126 million in financial aid, which is more than double what it was in 2011, when Capilouto became president. What’s next? Both Hamlin and Ramey have plans of being Wildcats someday— Hamlin again, Ramey for a long-awaited first time. Hamlin has aspirations to be a lawyer, and she said she’d like to attend UK’s College of Law. The catch? She can only attend if “the tuition situation gets under control.” After one more semester at BCTC, Ramey said he will transfer to UK and hopefully complete his chemical engineering degree within five semesters. While he’s looking forward to being on campus more, he is still “very wary” of the student debt he expects to accumulate during his time at UK. If the trends continue as they have been— with enrollment going down and tuition going up— what will happen to higher education? How many more students will be unable to attend their dream college?

On the field or in the lanes, Haynes loves going bowling By Chase Campbell sports@kykernel.com
UK
football’s senior guard Nick Haynes is a core piece to an offensive line that many analysts have ranked among the best in the brutal SEC. He started every game last season when UK’s offensive line was named a semifinalist for the Joe Moore award, which recognizes the nation’s most outstanding offensive line. Haynes has started in 23 of his 34 played games dating back to his freshman season, as well as being named to the SEC academic honor roll his junior year. Haynes has been an extremely integral member of the Kentucky offense, describing his own play as “physical.” What many don’t know about Haynes, however, is that he is an extremely accomplished bowler. “I’m a pretty good football player, but I’m an extraordinary bowler,” Haynes said during UK football’s Media Day. Haynes has bowled a perfect game a total of five times in his life, and he said he’s a much better individual bowler than an individual football player. “The thing is, anything I do competitive, I have ARDEN BARNES I STAFF passion for,” Haynes said. UK guard Nick Haynes takes the field prior to the Austin Peay game in Lexington, Kentucky, on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016. “If I’m bowling, or play10 | kentucky kernel ing ping pong, or playing
video games with Bunchy [Jervontius Stallings], we’re competitive, that’s how it is.” Last time the Cats went bowling that wasn’t in a bowling alley, the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl, Haynes played left guard in the game where the Cats racked up 149 rushing yards and a touchdown in the loss to Georgia Tech.

If you’re not playing by that standard, you’re out of the game.” In a conversation with Haynes, the question of which sport he believed himself to be better at came up. “I would probably bet my life on a bowling game instead of a football game,” Haynes said. “I’m a better individual bowler than I am an individual football player.”
Men’s soccer looks to recover after losing core pieces By Chase Campbell sports@kykernel.com
Last season was one of the best ever for the UK men’s soccer team, as they finished ranked a hair outside the Top 25 at No. 26. They hosted the first round of the NCAA Tournament in a loss to Creighton, and were extremely competitive in the race for the Conference-USA regular season crown. Their defense was also one of the best in the nation, only allowing four goals in their 11 regular season home games. Of course, that was when the team was led by elite defender Jordan Wilson, conference assist leader Charlie Reymann and team scoring leader Napo Matsoso. Those three core pieces of the Cats’ game plan have since graduated, and it’s up to the players they left behind to keep Kentucky competitive. During the UK soccer Fan Day, veteran defender Tanner Hummel outlined how the Cats are approaching this season. “The people that were behind them were just equally as good,” Hummel said. “We changed our formation, we’re playing a 3-4-3 now, not the four in the back.” Previously, the Cats had Wilson
and Reymann accompanied by two other defenders, something they’re amending this season after struggling to score last year. “I think we have the potential to be better than we were last year,” Hummel added. “There’s good players, good competition, and every single day in practice is pretty competitive. Everybody’s fighting for a spot.” So who gets to be the new face of the Cats? Sophomore midfielder Connor Probert believes he’ll be stepping into the scoring role that Matsoso left behind. “I think with the absence of Napo, I’ll have to step into his shoes,” Probert said. “I’m hoping for a big year personally and I think, with what the team can offer, and what I can offer personally, we’ll be going somewhere really special this year.” Last season, Probert contributed three goals and three assists, the same season stat line as fellow sophomore JJ Williams. Both players will have a larger role thrust upon them, as the only two to score more points than them throughout the season were Reymann and Matsoso. With the beginning of the season underway, time will soon tell if the team can hold together without their three most dominant forces from last year on the field.

CHET WHITE I UK ATHLETICS Ian Carry reacts in a game against South Florida, where the UK women’s soccer team lost 3-2 on Aug. 25, 2016, at The Bell in Lexington, Kentucky.
NEW SEASON, NEW COACH By Abbie Long sports@kykernel.com
Ian Carry already made UK history nearly a whole year prior to his head coaching debut for the 2017 season. In Nov. 2016, Carry was announced as the new head coach for the women’s soccer team after being an assistant coach on the team for the past four seasons. This makes him only the third head coach in UK women’s soccer history. The season started back up Aug. 18 with an away game against Wisconsin. Carry and his team are eager to start this new journey, build a whole new mentality and to start chasing championships. “We want to bring these titles back to the Bell (soccer complex),” Carry said. “It’s a mentality piece, it’s a coaching piece. It’s young women that are willing to go and work hard every single day with a focus. It’s not an easy task but we believe in the players that
we have, and we know that the recruiting classes that are coming in in the next couple of years, Kentucky will take itself to a new level that it’s never been before.” Team captain Katy Keen is excited to have Carry as the new head coach for her senior season. “He’s great. We are just trying to move the program forward and Ian has been a great look on that,” Keen said. “He’s changed the program in the sense of helping us get a new direction, and a new goal. Our goal is to make the SEC tournament and really make a run post-season play this year,” Keen explained. According to Keen, the all-around atmosphere within the team has been nothing but positive with having Carry as head coach along with his two assistant coaches, Jason Goodson and Melissa Charole. “(Carry), Melissa, and Goodie (Goodson) are really changing the program and
helping us make good steps forward,” Keen said. “Ian has been doing a great job as head coach as well as his two assistants, Goodie and Melissa. I think we are just trying to have a new, positive outlook and that’s how it’s been going so far.” The ultimate goal the team is trying to reach is to win a championship as well as rebuild this program’s reputation into a positive one. The players and the coaching staff are determined to make these things happen this season. “I think if we just stick to what we know and listen to the coaches and everything they have to say, we should really make good strides this year,” Keen said “We want to be something that the Big Blue Nation can be proud of, something that the students can come in and have some fun watching us play and ultimately get some W’s here at home in the Bell,” Carry said.

Underground UK
UK has secrets that are ready to be revealed By Megan Brown features@kykernel.com
A new school year is beginning which means UK’s barren summer campus is revived with students preparing for the year ahead. The start of the year also means an opportunity to discover UK’s secrets and what many students may not know about their old or new Kentucky home for the next four years. This is Underground UK. What is the most important day of the week? Depending on your social life it may be Thursday night. “Thirsty Thursday” is a name synonymous with colleges around the country for late nights, binge drinking and parties. At first glance the stereotypical parties depicted on big screens and recreated at UK on Thursday nights may seem like the only activity going on. However, if you would prefer to do anything else besides party, UK and the Lexington community offer a wide range of activities to appeal to students. For example, every Thursday night Pazzo’s, a pizzeria and pub located on S. Limestone, hosts a Trivia Night. Trivia Night begins at 8:30 p.m. and offers participants multiple incentives including gift cards for the top three teams and specials on nachos, fries and beer. However, if you would still like to drink, but in a more laid back atmosphere, Two Key’s Tavern offers Thursday Night College

Night and an all you can drink special for $10. Two Key’s is located on S. Limestone. While UK is obviously most known for the 8-time national championship men’s basketball team, many other sports play on Thursday night. As a UK student all sporting events besides men’s basketball and football are free. A lot of the time events such as volleyball or women’s basketball will take place on Thursday night. Students who attend these games can use the BBN Rewards app to get points which go toward redeeming prizes such as t-shirts, bobble heads and a tour of Rupp Arena. Also, the points can be used to skip the lottery during basketball season. Another organization providing other options for Thursday’s is Christian Student Fellowship, which is an organization on cam-
pus that strives to bring Christian students together. Every Thursday night at 8:00 p.m., Christians across campus come together to worship and sing while offering support to one another. Also, CSF puts on other events throughout the week including Flapjack Friday’s and Shift for freshmen. Lastly, Student Activities Board hosts events throughout the semester that involve students in fun and free activities such as Bingo or Trivia Night’s. These activities usually provide prizes including UK spirit packs or useful items such as laundry detergent or umbrellas. If you are a new or returning UK student, do not worry if you feel like there’s nothing to do besides party on “Thirsty Thursday.” The worst case scenario is you can go to bed early because you probably have class in the morning.

SAB provides action packed semester for students By Sarah Ladd features@kykernel.com
The UK Student Activities Board has released its fall schedule of events and asks all students to join in the fun. Dart Art will be held Aug. 24 from 5 - 8 p.m. at The 90 Front Lawn. Dart Art is a chance for students to explore their creative side by bringing colors to life in their very own masterpiece. What better way to loosen up before the long hours of studying set in? BinGlow will be Aug. 31 from 8:30-10 p.m. This is a fun twist on the traditional and well-loved bingo. There will be glow sticks and black lights. Casino Night is Sept. 8 from 8-11 p.m. at the Boone Center. Students will enjoy a night of fun, risk free casino games. Upon arrival, students will receive chips. They will participate in games and be entered for raffles. There will be prizes, varying in value, for raffle winners.
Hawaiian Festival is Sept. 14 from 6-8 p.m. UK enjoys educating its students in other cultures. In the past, the festival has featured Cuban, and most recently, Native American culture. This is a great opportunity to explore a different culture. Students will enjoy traditional entertainment, dances, food, arts and crafts. Broadway Trip allows students a chance to see Wicked. It will be held Sept. 17. Ticket sales will begin Aug. 25 and will be $25. Students can pick up tickets in the Bowman’s Den ticket office. Pinterest Parties will be Sept. 26 from 6-9 p.m. in the hub at the William T. Young Library. Materials are provided to students and they are encouraged to try their luck at a Pinterest craft. Homecoming Activities will be in Memorial Hall on Oct. 3 from 7-9 p.m. There will be a student body talent show. The homecoming week will also feature the Street Fair. This will
include games, blowups, free food and t-shirts. The Street Fair is Oct. 5 from 5-9 p.m. at the Bowman’s Den walkway. Cross Cultural Crafting allows students to again explore another culture through the art of making jewelry. On Oct. 12 from 6-8 p.m. in Holmes Hall, students will choose different beads associated with a particular culture and make a piece of jewelry. “The UK Student Activities Board works really hard to make sure we have a lot of educational and fun events for our students,” Kristen Smith, SAB director of public relations, said. “I really encourage students to take advantage of these events. It is a chance for students to add so much to their college experience. It is our goal that every student, after walking away from our events, will have learned something and gained a new experience. These are great chances to learn outside of the classroom.”

The KRNL guide to dressing at UK By Becky Faulconer krnlfashion@kykernel.com
KENTUCKY KERNEL FILE PHOTO
Many incoming students assume that dressing in college is just like dressing in high school, where everyone dresses up and puts together intricate outfits for their day-to-day schedule. That’s not how college works. The main priority for any college student is and should be comfort. Think you’ll be wearing jeans and a leather jacket to class in 85-degree weather? Think again; especially in the heat of September. T-shirts, oversized or not, and “norts” (Nike shorts or any other athletic shorts) are the way to go. Whatever you do, don’t wear a Louisville shirt, or red for that matter. As for leggings and sneakers, you can never go wrong. Literally, never. When the weather starts to get a little cooler (that’ll take a few months. This is Kentucky, after all), layering is key. Even in the first month of school, the walk to class is extremely hot but the classrooms are ice cold, well, most of them. Sweaters, flannels, jean jackets and bomber jackets are all stylish, comfortable
and easy-to-wear layering options. Classes aside, it’s also necessary to have a college ‘capsule closet,’ which is a collection of a few essential and timeless pieces that you can mix and match to create different outfits. Capsule closets typically include a nice pair of slacks, a well-fitted pair of jeans, neutral (white, black, grey) tops, a little black dress and several other options depending on your lifestyle. With a capsule closet, you can style professional outfits suited for career fairs or internship interviews or you can go the party route with a simple dress and statement accessories.
Ultimately, college has no dress code, so it’s actually the perfect time to experiment with your style. As fashion advocates, we won’t tell you what to wear or what not to wear (besides Louisville red). You should always just “do you.” If you do decide to jazz it up, do it with confidence and you’ll stand out. If you want to keep it low key, you’ll always find support among your 30,000 new classmates. Email KRNL fashion at krnlfashion@kykernel.com.
4 easy steps to jump into networking By McKenna Horsley krnlfashion@kykernel.com
When you come to college, you are going to meet a lot of new people. You will be in large classes with many new classmates, you will have new professors and you will even have new roommates. How will you ever remember them all? As you settle into Lexington, make sure you connect with as many people as you can. Not only will you make new friends, but you also have the opportunity to make connections that will benefit you after you graduate and begin your career.
Talk to people If you just stay in your fancy, or almost condemned, new dorm room in your free time, you will never meet anyone. Get out and make new friends. Explore campus and figure out where your classes are. Invite friends to dinner and tell them to bring along another friend that you do not know. By being social, you will instantly make new connections. Go to campus events At UK, it seems that there are different campus events every week that cover many different topics. You might find some events related to your major or education like the
Education Abroad Fair or the Law School Fair. Maybe you will hear about events that are just for fun and bonding with other students like the Late Night Films Series or K Week events. Take advantage of these events to make new connections at UK, and form long lasting relationships. Properly save phone numbers and emails When you meet someone new, take the time to properly save their contact information. A few months from now when you are looking for someone in your phone, you risk not finding them if you saved just their first name along with a few emojis.
Take a second to save their full name, email and phone number. If you have a class later together in college, you can reconnect and study together or you can help each other after graduation with job hunting. Add connections on social media If you have a professor in a small class, make sure to add them on LinkedIn or your professional Twitter account. This way, they can keep up with your success and later recommend you for an internship or job. Also, add your peers on social media, so they can remember you later in life.

Drink. Eat. Sleep. By Kelsey Mattingly | Illustrations by Daria Smith features@kykernel.com
Satisfying a craving always brings a sense of relief and joy only a slice of pizza or copious amounts of chocolate can. Factor in a (responsible) night at Two Keys, Tin Roof or your frat party of choice, and satisfying a craving for greasy deliciousness is a requirement. Whether you’re crashing with friends and need something delivered ASAP or have faith in the UberEats, Tapingo and GrubHub systems, these restaurants are the cure to your drunken ailments. Mad Mushroom What would freshman year frat parties be without an XL order of cheese sticks to end the night? If you’ve never indulged in this cheesy masterpiece and Mad Mush staple, get on it immediately. With a variety of dipping sauces to choose from, you can spice up the flavor profile if melted cheese is too basic for you. Pro tip: Top off the cheese sticks with bacon. Price: $$; Delivery Time: 30 minutes – Hour; Hours vary Jimmy John’s If time is of the essence, Jimmy John’s is by far your best bet. (If you’re under the impression that a sandwich won’t satisfy your hunger, you’re wrong.) If you’re unconvinced, just call and order their “meat sandwich,” which will be delivered as fast as promised. Open until well after the bars close, you can count on their variety and speed to fulfill your needs. Price: $$; Delivery Time: Freaky Fast; Hours of Operation: 10:30 a.m. - 4 a.m. Cook Out Nothing screams “balling on a budget” like a $5 tray from Cook Out. The options are endless, from quesadillas paired with chicken nuggets and fries to a burger, Cajun fries and a milkshake. If you want something tasty that isn’t going to break the bank, this is your place.Just make sure to be extra nice to your Uber driver if they’re going to wait in the drive-thru line for you. Price: $; Hours of Operation: 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 a.m. Tolly Ho This Lexington classic is one of the most popular places to cure drunk food cravings among the college population. Around since the 70s and running on a 24-hour schedule, Tolly Ho is the place to be when you can’t decide between bacon cheese fries and breakfast. The menu here is vast and can cure practically any craving you’re having. Call in your order while waiting for your ride and throw them an extra tip for stopping by to pick up your fourth meal on the way home. Price: $; Hours of Operation: 24 Hours Goodfellas (Inside of Two Keys) There is no way you can go to Two Keys without stopping for a garlic breadstick or slice of pizza. What makes this a top spot to cure the ‘drunchies’ is the fact that it is located inside the bar, making it a perfect place to pit stop before jumping in your Uber. Price: $; Hours of Operation: 11:00 a.m. – 2:30 a.m. Honorable Mention: Euclid Kroger Feeling ambitious? If you’re on the north side of campus, head to Euclid Kroger, open 24-hours as well, and pick up whatever strikes your fancy. A personal favorite of mine, Pizza Rolls and sour cream and onion chips, is an affordable snack that will put you right to sleep. Price: $; Hours of Operation: 24 Hours
