Social work junior Hayden Wilcheck, right, and undeclared sophomore Makenzie Milzark smoke outside White Hall Classroom Building on Friday afternoon after their class. Both Wilcheck and Milzark did not think the tobacco ban was a huge issue, but were not sure how UK was going to enforce the ban. "It's not a big deal," Milzark said. "I can just walk out to the street if I want to smoke."
Care for a smoke?
Tobacco-free plan will snuff out cigarettes, other products on Nov. 19 By Katie Perkowski kperkowski@kykernel.com
On Nov. 19 students will be able to smoke in the middle of Rose Street, but not the middle of campus. Any students walking down South Limestone to White Hall Classroom Building may find themselves walking in a bike lane instead of a sidewalk in order to smoke. On Nov. 19, UK will be a tobacco-free campus, meaning no student, faculty or staff member may smoke or use any tobacco products on UK property. The tobacco ban prohibits all forms of tobacco, including hookah, cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco, Ellen Hahn, co-chair of the Tobacco-Free Campus Task Force, said. The boundary will be the contiguous campus and there will be no designated smoking areas. The policy will extend to all UK owned, operated and leased properties in Fayette County, Hahn said. Megan Abell, an undecided freshman, said she smokes on campus about two to three times a day. “I do think it’s not fair at all because if you’re a smoker there should at least be smoking areas or something,” Abell said. “Some
people are really addicted and will need a cigarette between classes so it could affect their learning abilities.” If a student is seen using tobacco on campus, he or she will be asked in a “kind, firm way” to stop using the product and to leave the campus to do so. If a student clearly does not know of the ban or forgot about it, then they will not be punished, Hahn said. “We want to create a culture of compliance,” Hahn said. “And given that very few people use tobacco products on our campus, I think that’s very doable.” Hahn said if a student is found to be persistently violating the ban, their name will be forwarded to the Dean of Students and the Student Code of Conduct will be enforced. If a student is found responsible for a violation of the Code, then the Dean of Students Office will determine a sanction to be imposed, according to the Student Code of Conduct. Charlie Lockhart, a music performance senior, said he thinks some people will obey the rule but others will not. “I think that I’ll still find a way to smoke,” See Tobacco on page 3 Discarded cigarette butts lie in an ash tray provided for students outside of White Hall Classroom Building.
‘Blitz Week’ helps DanceBlue fundraise
TaxiCats cuts rates to encourage use By Anna Hawthorne news@kykernel.com
A revised TaxiCats program now offers students an enhanced discount on taxis using a valid UK ID. TaxiCats is a service provided by All American Taxi and the UK Parking and Transportation Services (PTS). Chrissie Balding Tune, marketing and promotion specialist senior for UK PTS, said the TaxiCats discount used to be 10 percent but has gone up to 15 percent this semester in an effort to help students. Tune said the increased discount could be very useful when going to places off the map, such as to the airport. Fayette Mall and Hamburg Place have also been popular locations for this service, she said. Students can travel within the boundaries of Chevy Chase, Broadway, Greg Page Apartments and Main Street for only $2 per person, according to the TaxiCats Web site. “People need to say they are UK students when calling so they know ahead of time. You can also
!
use your plus account, so if you have your student ID, you don’t have to worry about cash,” Tune said. There are about 30 drivers on call at all times, and the average wait for a taxi is about 15 to 20 minutes, said Chris Martha, general manager for All American Taxi. “Students mostly use it to go back and forth between bars, or to class, just depends if it is hot or raining,” said Martha. “We’re just wanting more people to take advantage of it.” TaxiCats is available to students 24/7 by calling 381-TAXI.
The DanceBlue committee will be hosting its first ever “Blitz Week” Sept. 14 through Sept. 18 to raise money and awareness for the annual event. “We really wanted to have a big beginning of the year push to not only raise awareness of our cause and raise money, but also to encourage students to start thinking about how they would like to be involved in DanceBlue,” Kara Sutton, campus-marketing chair for DanceBlue, said in an e-mail to the Kernel. Sutton said one of the many goals of the committee is to spark an interest in freshmen, hoping to gain their support. Kelsey Webster, overall chair of DanceBlue, said she is very excited about the upcoming week. “For a couple of years now DanceBlue has been trying to expand and have more events to make it a year-round fundraiser,” Webster said in an e-mail to the Kernel.
TaxiCats routes What: TaxiCats Service When: 24/7. Where: Between the Chevy Chase area, Broadway, Greg Page Apartments on Alumni Drive and Main Street. The service also operates elsewhere in Lexington for a higher fee. Admission: $2 within boundaries

“My hope is that this week will be a huge success and we can have several of these a year and they can be our big fundraising weeks,” Webster said. The DanceBlue committee will have tables set out every day in front of the Student Center and White Hall Classroom Building, Sutton said. The tables will be encouraging students to donate time and money and to for teams. The events for “Blitz Week” are:
Monday, Sept. 14 Stop-the-Bop: Hanson’s song, “MmmBop” will be playing continuously outside of the Phi Sigma Kappa house, Alpha Tau Omega house and the Free Speech Area of the Student Center until enough money is raised to get the committee to turn it off.
Tuesday, Sept. 15 Trivia Night at Two Keys Tavern for students 21 and older from 8 to 10 p.m. The cover charge is $5 and all profits go to the DanceBlue fund. See DanceBlue on page 3

SEA SHELLS BY THE SEASHORE
p
Jackson’s final farewell Friends and family gather for a touching goodbye to the music legend Nearly eight weeks after his very public, televised memorial service, the King of Pop -- whose June 25 death at the age of 50 was recently ruled a homicide -- was laid to rest at an intimate September 3 funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. The evening service, attended by 200 friends and relatives, "was beautiful and lavish," says a witness. Among the touching moments: Gladys Knight singing gospel, and Jackson's kids, Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, placing a crown on his casket, which was adorned with white lilies and white roses. COPYRIGHT 2009 US WEEKLY
This summer I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to spend time down in Naples, Fla. for an internship. While I was down there I was able to experience all that Southwest Florida had to offer in both culture and nature. While I knew what I was getting myself into, in terms of the heat and humidity, I had no idea how beautiful Southwest Florida was. Filled with exotic wildlife ranging from alligators to panthers, there were many wildlife conservancies and preserves that kept me busy during the weekends. One of my assignments down in Florida took me to Lover's Key State Park, where I ran into these two, looking for shells in the Gulf. It was a beautiful morning and with that morning's tide came shells a plenty. They didn't have a hard time finding enough shells to fill their bag; souvenirs of their trip they would take back home once the week was over.

Scarefest brings horror flicks to life for second year By Megan Hurt mhurt@kykernel.com
Walking into the Lexington Center this past weekend, some unusual creatures may have made Lexington their home. Ghost hunters, magicians and eight-foot-tall demons were walking around talking to people. Among them were booths selling everything from orignal horror artwork to oneof-a-kind halloween masks. Rattling off the walls of the convention hall was the steady bump, bump, bump of a coffin hooked up to andrylics, which people could lay in with the lid shut for a wild ride. This past Friday, Saturday and Sunday downtown Lexington was host to the second annual Scarefest paranormal and horror convention. The event brought people from all over the country, as well as from the community, to find unusual merchandise, meet horror and paranormal celebrities and attend seminars about topics ranging from psychics to vampires. A couple even got married in a Scarefest wedding, which was sponsored and decorated by Halloween Express. Like most other conventions, Scarefest was about networking among people who shared a common interest, said Jeff Waldridge, co-creater and event manager of Scarefest. Russell Miller, from Winchester, bought a Golden Ticket to the convention, which gave him access
to all three days. He said that by the end of the third day, he had seen just about everything. “I met a lot of cool people,” Miller said, “actors, special effects people. That’s what I like.” William Thrasher, from Nicholasville, Ky., worked as a volunteer at Scarefest, running errands and helping with the costume contest. Thrasher said the turn-out so far looked bigger than last year, when 5,000 people attended over three days. One of the more unusual things he had seen from this year’s Scarefest was The Pickled Brother’s Sideshow, where guys ate light bulbs and drank Windex, he said. He also enjoyed being able to shop at the different booths, because there was a greater variety of vendors than last year. “I can get enough merchandise and horror DVDs to last me all year,” Thrasher said. Shawn “Cap” Caplinger, of Smithville, Tenn., used his booth at Scarefest to sell his one-of-a-kind “Friday the 13th” hockey masks. Caplinger began making masks similar to the one worn by the killer Jason in the classic horror film in February of this year. He orignally got the idea because he couldn’t find a replica of the mask for a halloween costume. “I thought, ‘This couldn’t be that hard (to make),’ ” Caplinger said. He then began making the masks from scratch, using his own mold to form the shells, then

Ghosts, goblins and other horror ceatures roamed the halls of the Lexington Center over the weekend for the second annual Scarefest. One volunteer estimated that this year’s turnout had surpassed last year’s attendance of 5,000 people. adding hand-dyed and cut leather. Each mask, whether simple with a few scratches or intricately burned and cracked, is a one-of-akind creation from Caplinger’s own imagination. “Every one of them is unique,” he said. “If I were to put 1,000 masks in front of you, no two would look the same.”

In 2004, after her son was killed in the Iraq War, Cindy Sheehan became an outspoken activist against the war. Sheehan traveled the U.S. speaking out against President Bush and the war. On Saturday, Sheehan spoke to UK and Transylvania University students to promote her new book, “Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution,” and to campaign for the anti-war movement. The purpose of Sheehan’s book is to dispel what she thinks are myths that everyday Americans hold true, she said. Myths that she talks about in her book include “Elections Matter,” “America has a Free Press” and “There is a Huge Difference be-
tween Democrats and Republicans.” The other purpose of her speech was to revitalize the anti-war movement that Sheehan believes collapsed with the election of President Barack Obama.

Writer’s conference highlighted by poem read at inauguration news@kykernel.com
UK hosted Elizabeth Alexander, poet and author of “Praise Song for the Day,” a poem read at last year’s presidential inauguration, as the keynote speaker for this year’s Kentucky Women Writers Conference Alexander read pieces of her poetry, including “Praise Song for the Day,” Saturday night at Memorial Hall. Poet Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, who also read at the conference, said she considers Alexander to be her mentor and described seeing her first Alexander book. “When I saw Elizabeth’s picture on the back, where she strangely looked a lot like me, I was given courage,” Jeffers said. At the conference, Jeffers and Alexander used their poetry to praise famous African Americans. Alexander read poems mentioning Nat Turner and Muhammad Ali,
Caplinger said. “Now, I’ve almost been wiped out again.” Caplinger said he enjoyed coming to the convention, where he was able to meet new people and make new connections. “I really enjoyed myself, everyone was super nice,” he said. “It would be my privilege to come back.”

Caplinger learned about the opportunity to sell his masks at Scarefest from some Myspace friends who were involved with the event. Waldridge then emailed Caplinger several times asking him to be a dealer at the convention. “I do everything myself, so I had to work 18 to 20 hours a day trying to stock up in time,”
and Jeffers read a series of poems about Phillis Wheatley, an African American slave who won her freedom and published a book of poetry. After the readings, Alexander and Jeffers answered questions from the audience. Alexander told about her process in writing “Praise Song for the Day.” “I worked on it the same way I work on any poem, but with more concentration and urgency,” she said. “I always have my ears and my antenna open.” Alexander said she did not feel nervous at the podium, and that she simply wrote what she felt was a powerful poem. “The real work is writing,” Alexander said. She said she heard her grandmother’s voice in her head say, “Did you do your best? Then go on ahead.” Jeffers talked to the audience about the role of mentors in her life.
She said mentors from various conferences taught her everything she knows about the business side of writing, from things like how much to charge for a reading, to how to apply for a fellowship. “When you’re young, you see the outside shell, but when you start doing the work yourself, you realize that not everyone loves you like your mama does,” Jeffers said. This was the 30th annual Conference and is the longest running conference in America that supports writing and women, said Bianca Spriggs, a coordinator in this year’s conference. The conference occurred on Friday and Saturday and included discussions, readings and workshops for registered participants, according to the event Web site. “Something like this is necessary to make sure we honor the women among us,” Spriggs said. “It is a torchbearer, the standard for celebrating women writers.”
are the same? He is doing the exact same thing, only worse,” she said. A mixed crowd of students, professors and the general public attended the event, hosted at the Cowgill Auditorium at Transylvania University. Nathan Kitchens, a political science sophomore at UK, said he kept an open mind before listening to Sheehan’s lecture. “I had heard about her through the national media, and my environmental studies teacher encouraged me to come. I would have come regardless,” Kitchens said. Kitchens said Sheehan was respectful but more pessimistic about the American system of government than he is. “I’m not sure if I agreed with everything that she believed to be true,” Kitchens said. For more information on Sheehan and her book visit her Web site, http://www.cindysheehanssoapbox.com/.
TOBACCO Continued from page 1 Lockhart said. “It will not encourage me to quit in any way whatsoever.” The sanctions that could be imposed are disciplinary warning, disciplinary reprimand, disciplinary probation, social suspension, disciplinary suspension, disciplinary expulsion and other sanctions, which include ending a residence hall contract and restriction of access to certain parts of campus, according to the Code of Conduct. “I think some people will still smoke and others will follow the rules but I think that there are a certain amount of people that will continue to break the rule,” Lockhart said. Hahn said the Task Force is not considering implementing fines at this time. The Task Force will conduct trainings on campus for groups of students and employees about the policy and how to talk with people about it, Hahn said. Hahn said a UK committee conducted a random sample survey at the end of last semester. With a random
sample of about 1,400 and 338 respondents, 64 percent of the students who responded said they felt positive about the tobacco-free policy. Hahn said the reason the committee sent it to such a small sample of the campus population is because the committee had a very short period to conduct the survey before students went home for summer. “I think there is a plan to do some more surveying,” Hahn said. There will be black signs posted around UK’s campus announcing the university’s tobacco-free policy, Hahn said. The signs will have a universal no smoking sign in the middle and will be posted all through campus. “It’s definitely going to encourage me to quit because I’ve been wanting to quit and I guess this is just the right opportunity to do it,” Abell said. Despite the looming deadline of Nov. 19, Hahn believes the committee will be prepared to enforce the ban. “Our task force has been meeting ever since January and we meet just about every two weeks and committees are also meeting so there have been a lot of decisions made and a lot of plans made,” Hahn said. “We feel good that by the 19th we will be ready.”

Street closings affect areas beyond surface When will the city finally get the message about South Limestone? Underground Ink and Piercing is the first casualty of the South Limestone construction and it doesn’t look like it will be the last. Other businesses, including Bombay Brazier and Hanna’s on Lime, are taking notice that their overall business has declined and that future closings will most likely further enhance this problem. “It’s difficult for people to get down here if they don’t know where they’re going,” Beth Hanna, owner of Hanna’s on Lime said. “And with Maxwell closing… that’s another set of problems for us.” This is a problem, Lexington. In the current economy, businesses are already starving for patronage and revenue. The city of Lexington should not be putting other businesses at even more of an unfair disadvantage by closing streets around them for extended periods of time. Look at Bombay Brazier. The store has already closed their doors for the latter half of last week. Not only are they missing out on the minimal amount of business they can still draw, but their employees are not working and earning the wages they count on. What do a few days’ wages mean? It could be that bill that needs to get paid, that now will go unpaid. It could be a couple of day’s worth of groceries that will remain on the shelf. These business closings caused by the construction go
beyond the typical loss of business; they effect many different groups of people – employees, owners, families of employees, etc. Underground Ink moved down the street to avoid being plagued by the street closings. But not every business can just pack up and relocate to beat the lack of business. Sure, the road construction is supposed to be for a good cause. Curbside rain gardens will definitely make streets look nicer and the infrastructure improvements will help modernize the area, but at what point is this Streetscape Master Plan to be considered too costly for businesses on South Limestone? How many more businesses will have to close or move in order to get the point across to Lexington-Fayette County Urban Government officials that they are doing a disservice? That is a bigger disservice than marginally including and informing Limestone business owners about the plans and subsequent construction. At this point, there isn’t a towel big enough to clean up this spilled milk, but Lexington officials must take a look at alternative ways to get this construction done in a way that is not detrimental to businesses in that area. Are the improvements honestly worthwhile if there aren’t any businesses or workers to keep the area thriving after the improvements are completed? First it was CenterPointe, now it’s South Limestone. At what point will the city improve itself, instead of tearing itself apart?
■ LETTERS TO EDITOR
Students must utilize struggling businesses It’s easy to see why many businesses on South Limestone are struggling. The flow of traffic is the flow of blood to nearly all local businesses, and the construction on South Limestone is cutting off that blood flow to many businesses, leaving them to wither and potentially die. This is where UK students can help. Many of us walk nearly everywhere we go anyway, why not walk to one of the fine establishments suffering from the construction and help them out? I’m not saying that places like McDonald’s and Subway desperately need your business; but between the construction and the recession, great places like Sav’s Grill and Hanna’s on Lime are struggling to survive. UK’s students have the power to save these businesses and really help the families that own them, so the next time you and a friend are trying to decide where to go for lunch, head to Sav’s and try out the Sav Sauce, or the next time you’re craving a pancake in the morning, walk down to Hanna’s. From one student to another: Please visit one, or all, of the local businesses suffering through the construction, because it really is up to us to save them.

Prohibition hardly stops campus smoking problem Something needs to be done about the smoking prohibition throughout the UK Medical Centers. I don’t think the administrators realized the lengths that smokers will go to beat the system in order to get that cigarette down. It’s embarrassing as a member of the university and Lexington community to see these mobs of people, 90 percent in hospital scrubs, congregating right outside the boundaries. Some don’t even leave, they just hide. When walking down the campus side of South Limestone by the emergency entrance it’s virtually impassible due to the fact that employees and patients have flooded the sidewalk to smoke. It’s worse than being in one of those old school airport smoking rooms. A few days ago there was a lady sitting on the curb, IV cart in tow, smoking a Marlboro Red (yeah, a cowboy killer). It’s both irritating and poignant at the same time. It’s obviously impossible to completely cease smoking but something ought to be done about this. Not only for health reasons but the fact that’s it’s truly an eyesore to society. I don’t know how to fix the problem short of devoting the upper level of the new parking structure to “smoking area.” I’d love to hear some different suggestions for the fix. Michael D. Kegley Jr. nuclear science senior

Tobacco ban unenforcable, impractical As the Nov. 19 smoking ban quickly approaches, controversies surrounding this new statute will, naturally, grow in intensity. I know this colMATTHEW umn will FOX Contributing simply add fuel Columnist to that fire, however this is an issue that has received very little attention so far this school year. The smoking ban, for those that don’t know, will make it illegal to smoke on UK property, including parking lots, fields and sidewalks. Meaning that if anyone wants to smoke they have to go completely off campus. While in theory this new edict will protect non-smokers from the second hand smoke, it is completely impractical as far as implementing. The current smoking laws are you cannot smoke inside or within 20 feet of a uni-
versity building, and UK’s Good Samaritan Hospital has made their entire campus smoke free. Another provision bans the use of smokeless tobacco products such as snuff, dip, or chewing tobacco. Unlike cigarettes, these tobacco products affect no one but the user. If anyone has ever made the trip up to UK’s Good Samaritan Hospital, they would see that the smoke free campus exists only on paper. I have seen maintenance employees, nurses and even some doctors standing on the “Smoke Free Campus” ground placards, smoking. And I’m not the only one out there who has seen someone in a hurry light up in the entrance way of a building. I expect the enforcement of this policy to turn out much the same as the alcohol policy, especially on game days at Commonwealth Stadium. Although the administration has not definitively said how they are going to enforce the new ban, there has been talk of a special commission whose sole
job would be to enforce this ban and make sure it is followed to the letter. Is this going to get us any closer to President Todd’s goal of making UK a Top 20 Public Research University, or will it simply continue the administration’s trend of raising students’ tuition and squandering resources that could be better used somewhere else? Now I understand that there are those of you out there who are going to ask, “Why should I have to smell their smoke,” or many similar questions, and being a non-smoker, I share many of the same sentiments when it comes to enclosed spaces. However, we are talking about wide open outdoors spaces; parking lots, Stoll Field, the open area in front of the library, it will all be off-limits to smokers. I don’t like getting a face full of cigarette smoke, but making the entire campus off-limits to smokers is absurd. The administration could, at the very least since smokers pay the same amount to come here as non-
smokers, give them designated smoking areas. John Stuart Mill, an English philosopher that had a huge influence on our founding fathers, once described something known as the Harm Principle, which states that a government (or in this case university administration) should only prevent an individual from engaging in acts that harm others, and not acts that harm only themselves. By completely banning tobacco products from campus, including smokeless tobacco, the university administration is violating this principle. It is quite clear to this writer that the new smoking ban is a lavish misuse of student funds and other university assets that could be used to better benefit our campus community. If they enforce the new ban as well as they have the previous ones, I think all of you smokers will be just fine to light up anywhere on campus.

President’s address provides backdrop for youth to pursue prosperous future It would seem that contrary to the previously established idea offered by opponents of President Obama's speech, the intention of the speech was not to take the first steps towards taking over the minds of America's children. There were no ROBERT JEFFERSON hypnotizing glasses, no subliminal Guest messages and no columnist Gestapo-like men and women hovering around the classrooms. Instead, there was America's President, addressing the importance of education and the role that America's youth will play in the years ahead. I believe that President Obama's speech served two purposes. Firstly, I think it set a precedent which has been long in waiting. I have long since felt that the direction of America's youth has been a backwards direction and I have long since felt that the struggle for America's youth to see the value in education has been favoring defeat. I believe that President Obama's ad-
dress to the students of America may help to lead our students down a more positive path because of the way his speech was conveyed. The speech was not made at eight o'clock in the evening for the world to see, it was made directly to the students and targeted directly at the students. While seemingly no different than an address to the American people at large, the deliverance of the president's speech may be the wake up call that America's youth needs, leading me to my second point.
I believe President Obama’s address to the Students of America may help lead our students down a more positive path because of the way his speech was conveyed. I think the second purpose served by the President's speech is the most important. I believe it gave the feeling of the president having a personal talk with America's students. In watching the
speech, it brought back the feeling of inspiration and a drive for purpose that was so prevalent during President Obama's campaign for presidency. It felt like sitting down and having a general chat, face to face with the person occupying the highest and more respected position in the United States. In this sense, I think it made the presidency seem more attainable to the students watching. It stripped away the ambiance of the presidency and revealed the truth of what the presidency really is, a person appointed by the American people to govern their country for them. What could make the presidency seem more attainable than that? In the future, I hope President Obama continues endeavors such as these. I believe that so many Americans, both students and otherwise, look at the presidency as a position unattainable by a normal person. I think speeches, such as this, bring home to the students of America a stronger and better understanding of the importance of education in the years ahead.

Sixth year of eligibility gives Fuqua, men’s golf second chance at titles By Alex Mackey sports@kykernel.com
Over the summer, it looked like the UK men’s golf team was going to lose its top two golfers from the 2008-09 season to graduation. The Cats’ luck changed when UK head coach Brian Craig received news from the NCAA that they would only be losing one. Ben Fuqua, who was considered a senior last season, is returning to the men’s golf team for a sixth year after being granted another year of eligibility by the NCAA due to medical issues. He may have never thought he’d still be with the team now when he originally arrived on campus in 2004, but Craig is ecstatic to have him back — again. “Getting Ben back is a huge shot in the arm for the program,” Craig said. Fuqua, a Danville native, played in all 12 events for the Cats last season while averaging 73.47 strokes per round. That was good for second on the team behind the now-departed Andy Winings, who led the team along with Fuqua last season. Fuqua won one tournament and finished in the top 20 in
three others. To make sure that he got better over the summer as he waited to hear back from the NCAA, Fuqua hit the golf course hard, playing five or six hours a day. His teammate, senior Jordan Blann, also put in a lot of work out on the golf course and some work with a personal trainer to make sure he was

prepared for the season. Even though Craig knows it takes more than two players to be successful, he’ll be looking for Fuqua and Blann, to get the team moving in the right direction. “I’m looking for my two seniors, Ben Fuqua and Jordan Blann to lead the team this year but it’s going to take the whole team to win,” Craig said.
The UK volleyball team is 10-0 on the year, winning three straight weekend tournaments.
After placing seventh in the Southeastern Conference championship and ninth in the NCAA Regional last year the Cats have bigger aspirations. The team wants to win an SEC championship, but Fuqua has some big aspirations for himself personally. “As an individual I want to compete in all 13 events and place in at least the top 20 and hopefully two or three wins,” Fuqua said. The team’s biggest challenge this season might not even be another team. Craig said the hardest part of this season might be choosing the five starters. He thinks he has at least eight golfers on the team that have the ability to start for the Cats. Craig said that he thinks that most of his team has potential to play professionally, but it wasn’t long before his thoughts came back to his two seniors — Fuqua and Blann — as the most likely to accomplish the feat. “Without a doubt the two seniors, Blann and Fuqua, have a very realistic shot at playing golf for a living,” Craig said. “They’ll need to improve and set out a plan but they could make it.”

Volleyball wins third straight tournament For the third consecutive weekend, the UK volleyball team took home a tournament crown after going 3-0 at the Kansas State Invitational. The No. 17 Cats improved to 10-0 and lost only two sets in the three matches. UK opened the tournament with a 31 (25-19, 21-25, 25-23, 25-15) win over No. 21 Kansas State on Friday evening,
playing to a crowd of over 2,000. It was the Cats’ first win over a top 25 opponent this season. On Saturday morning, the Cats rode a career-high 14 kills from junior outside hitter Blaire Hiler to a 3-1 (25-18, 25-18, 17-25, 25-23) victory over Purdue despite a late rally by the Boilermakers. They finished the day by sweeping Port-
land 3-0 (25-22, 25-12, 25-17) to finish the tournament on Saturday night. In previous matches, the Cats had won the Indiana Adidas Classic and the Kentucky Classic. The team returns to action Wednesday at 7 p.m. when it hits the road for a match against archrival Louisville. — BEN JONES
Men’s soccer beats SIU-Edwardsville 2-1
Longhorns extend Cats’ winless streak
Freshman midfielder Matt Lodge led UK in a furious comeback over SIU-Edwardsville on Sunday afternoon, scoring both goals in a 2-1 win over the Cougars. The Cats (4-0-0) fell behind when SIU-Edwardsville (1-30) scored in the 23rd minute, but Lodge netted an equalizer shortly after and scored the eventual game-winner in the 58th minute. In his fourth career game, Lodge led the Cats with four shots, three of which were on goal. No other Cat had multiple shots on goal and both of Lodge’s goals were unassisted. The victory gave UK a sweep over the weekend in the University of Louisville Tournament. On Friday, Sept. 11, the Cats took advantage of goals from sophomore defender Brad Walker and senior midfielder Chad Hagerty to knock off No. 19 University of Illinois-Chicago 2-0 in Louisville.
After starting 2-0, the UK women’s soccer team has gone winless in its last four matches. The Cats (2-2-2) lost to Texas 2-0 in Austin, Texas on Sunday afternoon. The Horns (3-3-3) got the best of the Cats in a chippy match that saw five yellow cards handed out and 17 combined fouls. Sophomore midfielder Kylie Doniak and junior forward Kirsten Birkhold each scored a goal in the first half for Texas. The Cats never recovered. UK hasn’t scored a goal since a 1-0 win over Louisville on Aug. 29, a span of four games and 400 minutes of playing time. The Cats mustered only four shots, none of which were on goal. Texas had 12 shots against UK, five of which were on goal. The Cats will look to break out of their slump when they host Western Kentucky on Friday night in the first round of the UK Tournament.
