CELEBRATING 38 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Fraternity loses charter UK’s Kentucky Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon has been denied a chapter review and had their charter revoked by national headquarters, according to a letter sent to the fraternity from a Sigma Phi Epsilon director of chapter services. The letter, dated Sept. 15, states, “The National Board of Directors has authorized the withdrawal of the Kentucky Alpha Chapter’s charter due to ongoing violations of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity Bylaws and Sigma Phi Epsilon’s ‘Statement on Chapter and Individual Responsibility.’ ” Sigma Phi Epsilon was suspended due to alleged hazing in June. The fraternity appealed the decision to the University Appeals Board and won, but was placed on disciplinary probation until July 1, 2011. Included in this probation was a list of 15 sanctions that must be fulfilled before the chapter could be reinstated. The letter cites these university sanctions against the fraternity as an explanation for revoking the charter. Because of the closure, rights and privileges forfeited by members include the use of trademarked items, recruitment of new members, sponsorship of events and conducting meetings for an “underground” affiliate. Sigma Phi Epsilon President Aaron Tutt did not return calls before press time.

Though many people know the dangers of smoking directly, many underestimate the dangers of secondhand smoke, according to a UK HealthCare survey. UK HealthCare and statewide community partners launched an educational program Thursday to bring secondhand smoke health risks to light. Nearly 1.6 million Kentuckians do not understand the serious health risks involved in secondhand smoke, especially in children, according to the survey. “There’s some value to the visibility,” said Dr. Tim Bricker, chairman of the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. If more people knew the risks of smoking in front of children, they would be more careful, he said. Secondhand smoke contains many of the same toxins that cause cancer in direct smoking, according to a brochure about secondhand

He has flown over 80 missions in support of NATO treaties and no-fly zone enforcement. He graduated from UK in 2000. But things didn’t always go so smoothly for Brown. While an undergrad at UK, he realized he wouldn’t have the grades to become a pilot unless he left engineering school. After speaking with his instructors, he entered business school and raised his grades. “They steered me in the right direction,” Brown said. Brown wasn’t sure what he would See Brown on page 6
Multicultural sorority takes ‘step forward’ at UK By Kyle Kleisinger news@kykernel.com
After two years of failed attempts to affiliate with UK, Delta Phi Mu, a Latina-based inclusive sorority, is making headway. Jackie Segura, current president of the UK chapter, said the sorority looks to embrace women of every background. “Part of our mission is to include everyone,” Segura said. “Hispanic, black, white, we take everyone.” As for the goals of the sorority, Segura said they want to bridge the seemingly large gap between the
predominately African-American and white sororities on campus. Founded at Purdue University in 1991, Delta Phi Mu is built on the tenets of service, scholarship and sisterhood. Although Delta Phi Mu came to campus in the spring of 2008, they could not officially become affiliated with UK because of a legal technicality known as Title 9, outlined in the U.S. Education Act. Essentially, Title 9 protects individuals from discrimination on the basis of sex. Social sororities and fraternities, however, have special exemption from this law provided that
they can get a tax exemption under Title 26 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Susan West, dean of Student Affairs and Greek Life, said the reason why the university could not affiliate with Delta Phi Mu was because they did not yet have official exemption papers. "If the University of Kentucky were to register Delta Phi Mu without these papers, we would be in violation of federal law," West said. It typically takes about a year to get these exemption papers and there is very little the university can do until these papers are turned in,
West said. Last Friday, West received a phone call from the national president of Delta Phi Mu informing her that they had received the paperwork and are prepared to submit official documentation to UK. If Delta Phi Mu makes it through the last few steps in their application process, they will be the first multicultural sorority on campus. “For the past couple of years, there has been a lot of talk about diversity,” Segura said. “What we need is action. This is our step forward.”
Liberian war documentary provides ‘inspiring’ message By Cassidy Herrington news@kykernel.com

Lexington’s eyes affix to Liberia this weekend for the showing of a new documentary, “Pray the Devil Back to Hell.” The film is a war story that addresses the Liberian Civil War, but unlike most war stories, hope and non-violence are central to its message. The cameras follow a group of Liberian women, comprised of Christians and Muslims, who band together and courageously form peaceful protests to end the four
years of long, bloody fighting. Director of the film, Gini Reticker, traveled to Africa on several occasions, filming documentaries in Rwanda and Ghana. “I never thought I would go to Liberia,” Reticker said. “I didn’t think I could spend so much time making a documentary on Liberia.” In 2006, at her daughter’s softball game, Reticker spoke with her friend Abigail Disney, who spent time in Liberia working with women.

While killing time before one of my evening classes, I decided to play around with black and white shots. The lighting that evening created perfect shadows for high contrast black and whites, my favorite type of photos. While walking around Central Campus, I heard the sounds of the marching band practicing and thought I would go check it out. Once there, the mirror-like surfaces of the tubas caught my attention. I loved the reflections they gave off with their many curves and how those reflections created a highly contrasted image with the sky and trees in the background. — SCOTT HANNIGAN
‘Sex and the City 2:’ Carrie’s back What will the sequel be about? Expect SATC 2 to tackle familiar territory — man trouble, shopping and a woman's right to sleep around — but with new twists. (Warning: Spoilers ahead!) Charlotte must face the realities of parenthood after achieving her lifelong dream of family (at the end of SATC 1, she gave birth to Rose, who joined adopted big sis Lily). "She has two kids now," says Davis. "We'll have to see what that's like for her." Meanwhile, fellow mom Miranda (reunited with husband Steve, played by David Eigenberg) confronts her workaholism. Says an insider, "Her job always came first for her, and she finds she's becoming that woman she always looked down on: the woman who puts family first." Samantha's move back to NYC from Malibu proves a success: The PR powerhouse reigns over her expanding empire in an all-white office with a stunning Times Square view. Her major issue? Dealing with ex Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis). "Yes, Jason is back!" confirms a source. But are Sam and Smith back on? Unclear. "Smith has become a famous movie star, so we'll see how that plays out and how that affects their relationship." A casting notice also claims she'll have to cope with downsizing her spending after some of her investments get wiped out. As for Carrie, few details have leaked about the
main star's story line, but one SATC casting notice offered up this shocking possibility: "Big loses a lot of money and takes a job in London, living alone in a one--bedroom apartment. Big gets really low and ends up in bed with another woman. After she leaves him, Carrie discovers she is pregnant." Implausible? It's anyone's guess -- but with the perennial single girl finally hitched, the challenges of married life are sure to be fodder for the film. Only one thing's for sure, an SATC source says: "It won't be predictable."
Will the recession figure into the story line? Yes. "If you think about the show, we always tried to be in sync with New York and the country," Davis says. "It's not like we tried to pretend 9/11 didn't happen. That would be crazy!" Indeed, there's already one sign the label-loving ladies are scaling back: They're recycling outfits. In one scene, Carrie dons a 2000 Dior collection dress worn in season three.
But promise me: Will the fashion still be fierce? No doubt! "If anything, it should be more fun," the film's costume designer, Patricia Field, tells Us. COPYRIGHT 2009 US WEEKLY

the need for
speed Sorrillo runs for country, university By Nick Craddock sports@kykernel.com
UK sprinter Rondel Sorrillo leads a dual life. One month ago, Sorrillo was in Berlin, competing against some of the fastest men in the world in the 200-meter dash at the International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships, while representing his home country, Trinidad and Tobago. Today, Sorrillo, a senior, sits in math class learning the finer points of calculus, awaiting the start of the NCAA track and field season. Though the jersey Sorrillo wears may change, the goals he sets for himself don’t, as he constantly balances his allegiances to his college and country. “You want to put out your best, regardless,” Sorrillo said. “When you run in an international meet you want to be top eight. When you run here you have to defend your school pride, which is more pressure.” UK sprints and hurdles coach Erin Tucker said the increased pressure for Sorrillo is often the result of his success at the international level, which causes his collegiate opponents to view him as a favorite— but Sorrillo would never admit such a thing. “Rondel is so humble and he appreciates all his competitors,” Tucker said. Tucker added that some track stars, who compete with the highest-level of competition in the world at major international events, struggle to focus on the college season when they face lesser opponents, but Sorrillo is unfazed.

Football rivalry diminishes because of Louisville’s play There was once upon a time when Louisville and UK fans trash talked about their rivalry game like it was the only game that mattered that season. So far, I haven't heard hardly a peep. That's what happens when one coach is a complete flop (Steve Kragthrope). The Cardinals have a Lexington native as their quarterback and still can't rally the fan base. Last year's season opener between the two teams was quiet going in. KENNY This year, it's all crickets. All COLSTON because UK is favored to win by Kernel nearly two touchdowns at home. columnist But in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter who is favored to win, whether it’s the media perception, the fans' or the Vegas oddmakers. This game rarely stays true to those perceptions, which sometimes makes for a good game and sometimes makes for an ugly 27-2 win. There's nothing exciting about Louisville quarterback and Lexington native Justin Burke. His return to playing time after sitting out a transfer year was awful. You won't find 10 honest UK fans who are in love with Mike Hartline as a "game-winning" quarterback either. The running backs? Sure, Victor Anderson has talent. UK has talented running backs, too. But nei-
ther team can expect to hand off 40 times and win. The sad fact is, UK no longer has a true rival in football. Louisville has gone from Orange Bowl Champions to Big East losers. The Cats can't beat Tennessee, and Vanderbilt is hardly a real rival. But that's how UK fans should want it. It means the Louisville game is a ‘W’ for sure, and in a league like the Southeastern Conference, that's important, right? The Cats need every nonconference win they can get. This year, Louisville fills that role as well as Eastern Kentucky. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe UK fans want a legitimate rivalry with their in-state foe; an up-anddown game like Florida State and Miami, Florida and Georgia, or Michigan and Ohio State (usually). Maybe the Louisville game is just another soft nonconference game for fans to tailgate to. They walk in the stadium with a good buzz and walk out cheering around victory. That's all I expect to happen come Saturday. UK isn't yet an offensive powerhouse, but the defense is solid enough to shut down the Cardinals. Of course, maybe Louisville will provide the same shocker UK did two years ago. Maybe Louisville will use the game as the same type of springboard UK did. But only if UK is already worried about becoming Gator bait. Kenny Colston is a journalism senior. E-mail kcolston@kykernel.com.

UK VS. LOUISVILLE: POSITION BY POSITION By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Advantage:
Quarterbacks
Defensive Line
Mike Hartline looked like an effective playmaker in the Miami of Ohio game. Louisville’s Justin Burke threw two interceptions in a home game against Indiana State. This is an easy call. Adv: UK
The Cats’ pass-rush looked shaky against Miami of Ohio, especially when there was no blitz. Until the Cats improve, they won’t win this category. Adv: Louisville
Running Backs
Linebackers
The Cats employ a running-backby-committee, while Louisville relies heavily on Victor Anderson. There’s something to be said for having one guy you know you can count on at any point. Adv: Louisville
Micah Johnson and Danny Trevathan have already been banged up, but they’ll still produce. Louisville’s suspect defense has gotten little help from its linebackers in recent years. Adv: UK
Receivers
Secondary
There were plenty of questions surrounding UK’s receivers before the opener, but most of those have evaporated. While Louisville has playmakers out wide, the Cats get the nod because it looked like they were holding back against Miami of Ohio. Adv: UK
Trevard Lindley and the rest of the corners will be fine. The only question is how effective UK’s safeties will be against deep passes. Here’s betting they’ll get the job done. Adv: UK
Offensive Line
Special Teams
With the return of Jorge Gonzalez, UK takes this category easily. Too much experience, too much depth for the Cards to compete here. Linemen in the Southeastern Conference play at a different level. Adv: UK
Kickoffs are still a major problem for UK. The returners look good, though, and the rest of the special teams look passable. Besides, Louisville doesn’t even know who its kicker is yet. Adv: UK

Valerino takes charge on the ice By Sam Ranard sports@kykernel.com
The UK hockey team has been getting better every year, and so has senior forward Tony Valerino. The fifth year senior has led the Cool Cats since he was a freshman. Now Valerino is in his fifth and final year and is looking to end his career strong. Valerino, a Pittsburgh native, has been a leader and factor for the Cool Cats since he came to UK. The club’s general manager, Ian Ward, has had the opportunity to watch Valerino play and improve throughout his entire college career. “He came out of Pittsburgh with a good reputation,” Ward said. “And he has left every season an improved player.” Valerino suffered an injury that left him out for half of a season and was missed by his teammates. “He was out for health reasons. He could skate but couldn't play,” Ward said. “Hell, we missed him like heck.” Valerino came back off his injury without a hitch and played like he had never been injured before. Now, Valerino is back and healthy for the 2009-10 season. Because the senior was out with an injury, he
would still have a semester of eligibility left after the 2010 season but has opted to graduate and not play the additional semester. This year’s team will have a 21-man roster. Valerino said the club has some new talent coming in that could really change the dynamics of this year’s team. “We picked up two new defenders and they will add a lot of speed,” Valerino said. Included on the incoming freshmen list is Dylan Rohar. Rohar, like Valerino, is from Pittsburgh and was coached by Valerino’s father. “He’s a pretty good player,” Valerino said about Rohan. “I think he will definitely help the team.” Ward is not looking forward to Valerino leaving after this season but has high expectations in this year’s freshmen class. Ward is hoping he might find another Valerinoesque player out of the incoming freshmen. “I’m expecting a few pleasant surprises,” Ward said. “As far as who it’s going to be, I don’t know.” Valerino has high expectations for this year’s squad and hopes for another season of strong support from the fans. “This year we can really make a run,” Valerino said. “We didn’t lose many games and have a lot of home
SORRILLO Continued from page 3 meter dash at the NCAA Outdoor Championships held in June, Sorrillo’s attention shifted to international competition. He was especially busy this summer with his national team, collecting frequent flyer miles and experience at the international level along the way, as he served notice to his future NCAA competition after his performances on the track. Sorrillo, an Olympian in 2008, began this summer by claiming the 200-meter title at the Trinidad and Tobago National Open Track and Field Championships. Tucker said he sent Sorrillo an email after the victory, joking that he “finally” won a major international championship, a victory that didn’t sink in immediately, Sorrillo said. “Only after a month or two (of) reflecting on it did I think it was a good experience,” Sorrillo said. Sorrillo followed up his victory with

drawn to track and field, despite its lack of popularity in the area of Trinidad and Tobago he lived. “The event chose me,” Sorrillo said on why he decided to compete in the 200. “I realized that people were running the first 100 (meters) and jogging the next 100, but I could jog the first 100 and run the last 100.” Now, Sorrillo has aspirations to become the first Trinidad and Tobago native to win an Olympic gold medal since Hasley Crawford accomplished the feat in the 100-meter dash at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. But before Sorrillo has his chance at Olympic glory, he also wants to try to pry the 200-meter NCAA Championship away from Florida State’s Charles Clark. Sorrillo will not consistently don the same jersey, but his coaches will emphasize the need for consistency on the track this spring. “(Sorrillo) is hungry to get back to work,” Tucker said. “He needs to know what he has got left in the tank for finals, so he can continue to execute.”

No buffer needed for student housing ■ KERNEL EDITORIAL Making the move off campus is a difficult transition for any student. Finding the right place, the right roommates and the right location near campus are all factors that go into selecting an off-campus residence. This search process is about to get even tougher if proposed restrictions on student housing regulations are implemented. The Lexington Town and Gown Commission is considering changes in student housing regulations that will restrict how many students can live in residential neighborhoods around campus, according to a Sept. 17 Kernel article. “The goal is to never have students living next to each other; there needs to be a space for buffering,” said Mark Meuser, crafter of the Student Housing Task Force Report. “Students respond to how adults around them are acting.” Preliminary plans require that no students will live next to each other. This plan could not have anything more wrong with it. Residence halls on campus can only hold around 5,100 students, according to UK Campus Housing’s Web site. Where will the other 12,000 undergraduates live when students can’t live right next to each other? This plan will push more and more students farther away from campus. If students live out of walking distance from campus, how will they get to campus for class? They certainly can’t drive to campus. The struggles of parking at UK have already been well documented over the years. While concerns about noise, parking and garbage may be true, is it all the students’ fault? This seems to be the impression that Diane Lawless, 3rd District councilwoman, and Meuser are under. Students don’t need adults around them to know how to act. That’s why students have parents and guardians. Inserting random adults in between students is not the answer to cleaning up these problems. Here’s an idea: They can call them “RRAs.” Residential Resident Advisers who can help these students “respond to how adults around them are acting.” Didn’t students move off campus to move away from authority and become more responsible in the first place?
Healthy, local food alternative to grease Walk into the Student Center cafeteria for lunch and, depending on your entry point, you will encounter greasy food, greasy food or greasy food. Either way, JORDAN you will PANNING not be able Contributing to avoid columnist the line at Chick-filA. In this lack of anything green, it is hard not to wonder why there isn’t anything healthy. To be fair, there used to be a salad bar next to Chick-fil-A, but that went by the wayside for Sbarro (greasy food). Subway has some good options, but they can’t possibly handle all the students that want to eat healthy food in one of the busiest cafeterias on campus. The simple fact is that these companies were brought into the cafeteria because they bring in money. The eateries have proven that they excel at just that, which makes a lot of people happy. I admit that I eat at them occasionally. I am not writing about getting rid of these profitable franchises. I am writing to, and for, all those people who think that deep-fried just isn’t enough, and especially all for those people whose meals are bound by their Wildcard ID, as mine once was. I am aware that Chick-fil-A cannot be purchased with meal swipes. OK, so what is good, healthy, local food? I’m glad you asked. Local food is food that has been grown in Kentucky and that is sold in Kentucky; this can either be in farmer’s markets (more on this later) or in supermarkets, such as Kroger. You can identify local food by the Kentucky Proud logo (Kentucky Department of Agriculture). Some of the food that you eat in the campus cafeterias is locally grown. The closer the farm to where the food is eaten, generally, the more sustainable it is. A good source of information on local foods can be found at www.kyproud.com. The
Web site states, “The average food item in America now travels at least 1,491 miles from farm to plate.” In Kentucky, and at this university, we can change that. Here on campus, I am the vice-chair of the student group Kentuckians for the Commonwealth. KFTC believes that there needs to be healthy, local, sustainable food options on campus for students, especially those students that have limited means of transportation. We are aware there are a few campus cafeterias that have salad at them. There is a “Simpsons” episode where Homer sings, “You don’t make friends with salad,” and I think this is a fitting remark. While salad may be good for you, there are thousands of other vegetarian dishes that get neglected. If this sounds like a campaign that you would like to be a part of, one that can reduce Kentucky’s exceedingly large carbon footprint (as was recently discussed in the Kernel), bring healthy, local, sustainable food to the university, and that can help support Kentucky’s hard-working farmers. Then, please join us at our weekly meetings. KFTC will be meeting every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Center in room 111 (and occasionally in room 115). You can find us on Facebook (UK KFTC) or online at www.KFTC.org. If you come to our meeting, you will have a voice and we are open to your suggestions. We also have other campaigns that you can become involved in. Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not promote Lexington’s Farmer’s Markets. There is one on the corner of Maxwell Street and South Broadway on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Wednesdays, there is a market at Lexington Green from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and there are also weekend options available. Please go to www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.com for more information. Jordan Panning is a creative writing senior. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.
WILLIAM KILUBA, Kernel cartoonist
Human nature takes star to the top There are certain things a person just cannot get mad about. If one sees a lion viciously tear apart a gazelle, nobody gets angry. It is the lion's nature to attack and kill its prey. In TIM the same RILEY way, it is Contributing pointless to columnist be surprised and outraged by the actions of today's celebrities. When Kanye West took the stage to preempt Taylor Swift's speech at this year's VMA awards, he was simply acting out on the same nature that made him the international presence he is today. There is something inherently abnormal about bigtime professional musicians. Getting up in front of thousands of people and referring to yourself as the "Louis Vuitton Don" as Kanye is apt to do, is not something the average man on the street could pull off. While many of us struggle to give a speech to 30 people in a classroom, West has no problem breaking the script and calling the former president a
racist on national TV. He's not alone either. It requires a unique blend of confidence and extroversion to moon walk around a stage or spill out one's greatest heartaches in song for the world to hear. The people who have the ability to do this are undoubtedly unique. However, just as it is unreasonable to assume any of us can stop being ourselves, it is unfair to assume that people like Kanye West can turn off the very thing that makes them special as soon as he steps off stage. Now, it is unequivocally wrong to do what Kanye did to Taylor Swift. In a just world, someone would have slugged him in the face for it. But to feign such surprise when he has a history of these actions and it is part of his essence is ludicrous. Much of his career is built upon controversial, honest opinions and ideas. Just like you can't tell a fox to stay out the hen house, it's unrealistic to expect Kanye West to not tell you what he thinks. Unfortunately, our modern technology and economic capabilities are compounding these problems. The uniqueness of West and many other musicians is driven to greater heights by the influx of ex-
treme wealth, attention and a slow removal from the constraints of the reality the rest of us must live by. The traits that both make and break Kanye West are driven to the extreme because of the catalysts of money and fame.
Much of (Kanye West’s) career is built upon controversial, honest opinions and ideas. Because of the ease of distribution of their work, modern musicians can make enormous sums of money that they never could before with mass communication and recording technology. Now, great musicians are thrown millions of dollars for their efforts, and as a result, they naturally attract a number of people who will tell them anything they want to hear in order to access that wealth. Given people to support their extreme tendencies, the natural reaction is exactly what is continually seen with Kanye West. The examples of this are everywhere. Mariah Carey and Eminem would appar-
ently rather write songs about their he said/she said bickering rather than just keep private matters private. Even before he completely lost his mind, an entire column could be devoted to discussing the bizarre things Michael Jackson did in the 1980s. It's hard enough for anyone to maintain their sanity in the situations today’s artists are put in, but it is even more difficult when one is not exactly normal to begin with. Whatever can be said about the incident at the VMAs, it should not be called a surprise. Kanye West is the perfect storm of controversy, and it should never be a shock when he leaves destruction in his wake. Take a massively-opinionated, egotistical man, give him millions of dollars and a stage, and the most natural thing will occur. There is no discussion about the right and wrong of his choice to invade the stage on Sunday night to the embarrassment of himself and many others, but to be shocked by a person doing exactly what they've been born and trained to do is just naïve.

Social life expanded by sports schedule If Commonwealth Stadium fell through a hole in the ground before tomorrow’s home opener against Louisville, would you be devastated by boredom resulting from the lack of a TIM home footKROBOTH Contributing ball game on a Sepcolumnist tember Saturday afternoon? If 123 students dropped your class and only four students and the professor remained, would you be uncomfortable in such a cozy learning environment? Would you boycott campus dining if all on-campus dining locations, except Commons Market, were shut down? I wouldn’t. I would be right at home. If you suspect that I am not a typical UK student, you are correct. I am not a foreign exchange student (unless you deny that the Carolinas were readmitted to the Union following the Civil War), but I am a National Student Exchange (NSE) student. I am one of about a dozen NSE students who have come to UK this academic year to broaden their university experience.
As a student from Winthrop University, a public university in South Carolina, my view of college life has been vastly different. Winthrop’s enrollment of 6,000 students falls well short of UK’s enrollment of more than 27,000. Winthrop lacks a football team, large classes and a wide variety of on-campus dining options. I have found the differences between the college experience of the two universities to be fascinating, and throughout this semester, I will share my bird’s eye perspective of UK, as a Winthrop Eagle and as a Kentucky Wildcat. An immediately apparent difference is the prominence of UK sports. Winthrop’s Division I teams, nicknamed the Eagles, are typically an afterthought among students. On the UK campus, students commonly wear UK paraphernalia, unlike Winthrop’s campus, where Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks shirts are more prevalent than Winthrop Eagles gear. Bad teams are not the problem. Winthrop’s men’s basketball team has earned invitations to March Madness in eight of the last 11 years and capitalized on its 2007 tournament appearance with a 74 to 64 first round victory over Notre Dame. So what’s
the reason? Sports apathy at Winthrop can be partly attributed to its status as a midmajor sports school. As a member of the Big South Conference, Winthrop’s conference games are against the likes of Gardner Webb and the Virginia Military Institute. However, you may remember that in the last two years, Gardner Webb and VMI have beaten the Wildcats at Rupp Arena by a combined 24 points. In my view, the difference in student attitude is largely due to one sport: football. When I moved to the UK campus in August, the first major landmark for me was Commonwealth Stadium, a testimony to SEC football at UK. Rabid UK student interest is already clear to me: When I recently walked past Memorial Coliseum (lottery site for singlegame football tickets for the first three home games), a line of students for the lottery poured out of the entrance and stretched past the Joe Craft Center. On Winthrop’s campus, the most visible reference to football is a popular T-shirt that brags “Winthrop Football: Still Undefeated.” Without a football team, sustaining a high level of sports-related school spirit is difficult. On fall weekends, Winthrop’s campus is nearly
a ghost town. By the time basketball season begins in mid-November, student interest in sports is low. For Winthrop’s biggest sporting event last year, the homecoming basketball game against arch-rival Coastal Carolina, the 6,100-seat Winthrop Coliseum was filled to only sixty percent capacity. When I asked a fellow Winthrop student only an hour before tip-off if he was going, I was met with a puzzled look and a question: “What game?” I recognize that I have missed out on sports-related school spirit as a Winthrop student. I treasure the memories of the ups and downs of being a diehard Georgia Tech football fan since age 8. Last Thursday, as I watched the “Ramblin’ Wreck” blow a 24-point lead before kicking a field goal to beat Clemson in the final minute, I thought how much more strongly the Georgia Tech students experienced the desperation and glee that I felt. However, at high noon tomorrow when the Cats take the field against Louisville, I will finally know what it means to be a college student cheering for my own football team. UK is my football school.

BROWN Continued from page 1 have done if he hadn’t made it as a pilot. He said he never had a backup plan — except maybe to mop the floor at Arby’s. “I don’t know what I’m going to do when I grow up and have to get a real job,” Brown said, just before being distracted by a picture of him flying
over Okinawa, Japan. “I’m not looking forward to it.” Brown stressed the importance of class to the cadets and encouraged them to get involved and become leaders elsewhere on campus. He also had a few tips for cadets who were hoping to become pilots themselves. For now, those cadets will have to wait to see if their dreams come true as Brown lives his out. To him, the F-15 is the perfect jet.
SMOKE Continued from page 1 smoke published by UK HealthCare. Formaldehyde, which is used in embalming, and hydrogen cyanide, which is found in chemical weapons, are two such chemicals mentioned in the brochure. Bricker said these pose risks to young children, such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and wheezing. Program directors have been talking to some tobacco users about the program, and many said that if they had known the risk they were posing to their children, they might have quit years ago. “Kentucky parents are family-oriented and they wouldn’t intentionally put their children at harm,” Bricker said. The program will include educational materials, a school-based education program, an interactive Web site, and radio and television public service announcements featuring UK head basketball coach John Calipari, according to a UK news release. The program, which is coincidental to UK going tobacco-free in November, will also include health fairs, which will include a mini spirometer, a device that a person blows into to measure lung function, which will give clues to determine lung age, said Dr. David Mannino, a pulmonary physician.
FILM Continued from page 1 wise,” Reticker said. Another perspective to the story resides in Lexington, where the United Nations sends refugees, including Suedy Menseray, to centers like Kentucky Refugee Ministries. Menseray came to the U.S. from Liberia two years ago and currently works in housekeeping at UK Hospital. She vividly remembers seeing the violence of the civil war when she was 13 years old. “There was a lot of fighting … killing of innocent people and raping of women,” Menseray said. After a military coup in 1980, a forced government was upon the nation and in-
“I call it ‘God’s jet,’ ” Brown said. “It’s awesome.” Even though pilots like Brown do flyovers as part of their training, he was still excited for the opportunity to show UK fans a glimpse of the Air Force. He said he’s proud to show people what the Air Force can do in a part of the country without many Air Force bases. “There’s definitely no way I ever thought I’d get a chance like this,” Brown said.
Though the device is not good for use on children, Mannino said he has found many adults who are shocked by the results of the lung test. He said he once had a 30-year-old woman with the lung age of 80. “She said, ‘Maybe I should quit smoking,’ ” Mannino said. According to the information published by UK HealthCare, Kentucky has the third highest adult smoking rate in the U.S.; it also has the most adult deaths from smoking-related illnesses.
“Fear doesn’t motivate people. We don’t want them to quit, but that would be great. We want them to modify their behavior.” BILL GOMBESKI director of marketing, UK HealthCare
Bill Gombeski, director of marketing at the medical center, said the program will take an educational approach to informing people, rather than trying to scare them. The information published by UK HealthCare gives advice such as smoking outside and away from children. “Fear doesn’t motivate people,” Gombeski said. “We don’t want them to quit, but that would be great. We want them to modify their behavior.”
cited a civil war from 1989 to 2003. Menseray saw her family members killed and raped, and remembers seeing unborn babies sliced out of the stomachs of pregnant women. “I don’t want to talk too much, or I may cry,” Menseray said. After leaving Liberia, Menseray stayed in a refugee camp in Ghana, among 10,000 others. The camps were overcrowded and unsafe for women, she said. Menseray registered as a refugee with the United Nations, and after an interview, was sent to Kentucky Refugee Ministries in Lexington. “Even though I am here in America, I think about people at home,” Menseray said. “When I eat, I think about the hunger in my country.” Menseray calls her life in
the U.S. “a blessing.” She has three daughters, and they live together in a nearby apartment complex. “I am able to work, and my children go to school,” Menseray said. As for the documentary screening this weekend, Menseray said it is important for Americans to see the footage. “Some people in the United States have a lot of food and they just waste it,” Menseray said. “It would be a blessing for other people to see the hunger and suffering in other countries.” Although the story is centered on women, Reticker said there is a message for all viewers to incorporate into their lives. “The story is incredibly universal,” Reticker said. “Everyone who sees it finds it inspiring.”
Correction In a Sept. 16 Kernel article, it was incorrectly stated that Parking and Transportation Services only impounds bicycles parked in areas that pose a fire hazard or impede handicap entrances. Instead, Parking will impound any bike that is parked on anything other than a bike rack. Parking and Transportation Services will not call the owner of an illegally-parked bike; they will issue a citation if the bike is registered and will impound the bike if it is not registered. If a bike is impounded, the owner will have to pay the impound fee plus the citation. For more information on updated parking regulations, visit www.uky.edu/parking/parkingregulations.html.

Sophomore wide receiver Randall Cobb said he would not like to see a playoff in college football.
Q&A with Randall Cobb The sophomore wide receiver answers the questions everyone’s been wondering By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Q. Do you have any nicknames? A. Back home my family and friends call me ‘Mann.’ It came from when I was little, they called me ‘Little Mann,’ then once I got older they dropped ‘little.’
Q. Why’d you choose to wear No. 18? A. I wanted No. 7, but when I came in (then-senior corner-
back) David Jones had it. I wanted 12, but (then-senior wide receiver) Dicky (Lyons Jr.) had 12. So I just picked 18, something between me and (high school teammate and current UK wide receiver) Kyrus (Lanxter). Its reciprocal, 81, is the flipflop of 18.
Q. Favorite place to eat on or around campus? A. It has to either be BD’s Mongolian Grill in Hamburg or Tolly Ho. I’ll eat at Tolly Ho during the day sometimes.
Q. What has been your proudest moment at UK so far? A. Being on the field, being able to wear Dicky’s jersey and catch two touchdowns against Arkansas.
Q.
Everyone knows you’re a great athlete. You play quarterback, receiver, punt returner and even hold on kicks. But can you kick like Chad Ochocinco?
A. I have kicked a field goal and made it in practice. (UK
special teams) Coach Ort(mayer) saw it. He said he’d give me a chance one day in practice. I still haven’t got that chance. I’m still waiting on it.
Q. Maybe one day when you’re up by 50 points? A. Yeah, maybe I’ll get an extra point. Q. But can you kick and hold at the same time? A. I might be able to drop-kick it. I don’t know about kicking and holding at the same time.

Q.
If you weren’t playing football, what would you be doing?
A. I’d probably be a professional ping-pong player. I’d still be in school, I just probably wouldn’t be here. I’d be at a smaller school.
Q. What’s one thing people don’t know about you? A. I would say my eyes, but I think everyone knows I have green eyes. One thing most people don’t know about me is that I’d rather be alone most of the time. I like solitude, just keeping to myself sometimes.
