Pharmacy grads strive for perfection By Laura Clark lclark@kykernel.com
On their way out of UK’s door, the pharmacy class of 2009 achieved near-perfection. For the last five out of six years, UK’s College of Pharmacy graduates have achieved a perfect firsttime pass rate on the national pharmacy licensure exam, or NAPLEX. The class of 2009 did not disappoint. The 120 UK graduates’ average score, 124.30, soared far beyond the na-
tional average, 112.51. Kelly Smith, associate dean for student and academic affairs in the College of Pharmacy, said the “magic potion” of the graduates’ success was attributed to a number of factors. “You can attribute the unique combo of well qualified faculty we have … (who) are at the cutting edge of all levels,” Smith said. “And the curriculum is dedicated to student development.” Smith said the exam is for graduates wishing to

RENOVATING THE NEIGHBORHOOD
No results from police search for armed robber By Laura Clark lclark@kykernel.com
UK Police are still “actively searching” for an armed robber reported on North Campus Sunday night, said UK Interim Police Chief Maj. Joe Monroe. “We had several phone calls last night (Sunday) about possible direction of travel,” Monroe said. “But nothing has been found at this point.” Sunday night, UK Police issued a crime bulletin regarding an armed robbery near the Student Center. The report, which came from a UK student, said a man in his mid-to late-30s pulled a knife on the student, de-
manding his money and book bag. The victim complied, and the suspect was last seen fleeing toward Administration Drive. The Lexington Police Department is no longer taking an active role in the search, but is “assisting as needed,” Monroe said. The suspect was described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall. The suspect has shoulder-length wavy, dark hair, has a full beard and was wearing a dark baggy coat and blue jeans. Crime bulletins have been posted on campus buildings, warning students to take extra safety precautions. To report any information, contact UK Police at 257-1616.

City inspections, plan challenge student living By Laura Clark lclark@kykernel.com
Air-conditioning has been missing from Jonathan Goodin’s attic-turnedapartment for a while now. Goodin said he is used to the noise in the neighborhood since he moved in January 2009. However, his Aylesford Place apartment in a single-family home is aging. “But I love living here,” Goodin said. “It’s got all we need.” For two years, the city of Lexington, the presiding UK Student Government president and landlords have been discussing the Student Housing Task Force Report. The proposal is similar to a Penn State University plan implemented in 1997, which allows only three non-related students to live in an off-campus house at a time and no student residential unit to exist within ap-

proximately 150 to 200 square feet of another student home. Goodin, a fifth-year Spanish and secondary English education senior, said he does not understand the logic behind the proposal. “There’s supposed to be more enrollment (at UK), right?” Goodin said. “Well, you’re going to have to have more housing, and (UK’s) not building more campus housing, so where are (students) going to go? “I don’t think some city legislation would change much — just empty houses and upset landlords.” On Friday, Lexington Mayor Jim Newberry announced at a news conference that the Lexington Fire Marshal was inspecting houses around campus that looked unsafe over the last two
weeks. Newberry said the fire marshal would also be looking for other safety issues to report, including overcrowding. Diane Lawless, 3rd District councilwoman, said the housing proposal and fire safety code inspections are completely different issues. Lawless said the fire code violations are not new problems. “(The violations around campus)
Graduating from college is only the first step to success. Recent graduates are learning that lesson the hard way. The unemployment rate for college graduates between ages 23 to 27 jumped from 3 percent in 2007 to 3.7 percent in 2008. This year’s rate stands at 6 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. UK Career Fair Coordinator, Francene Gilmer said there was a 30 percent decrease in the number of employers that came to the fair on Wednesday and Thursday. Gilmer said a decrease may not effect students negatively. “While the numbers may have been smaller, students had a greater chance of meeting companies that were hiring — some companies used to come just to get their name out,” Gilmer said. “Now, because of budget cuts, employers that may have come from the Northeast in the past may just be recruiting in their region.” However, fewer employers still means fewer jobs. The limited positions available make the job market more competitive, while employers are now expecting certain criteria from college graduates. Employers at the James W. Stuckert Career Center gave students tips to get started in the post-college life:
1. Networking should start as soon as a stu-
Beverly Clemons, owner of CMI Consulting, said students can start networking by using the six degrees of separation. "You know your neighbor who knows someone who knows someone who works in the field you want to go into,” Clemons said. She also said students need to meet people who can help them get ahead in their field. A place to start would be the UK Alumni Career Network available through Wildcat CareerLink.
2. Get an internship. At the Career Fair on Wednesday, most employers said internships and communication skills would put a candidate ahead of another for a job. The career center will be holding an internship information session Friday at noon in room 203.
3. Choose the right major. "A major reveals what a student's aspirations are … and employers need to know what your career goals are," Clemons said. Researching majors and seeing what careers can be done with them is the first step. Today, the computer science, medical and engineering fields are the three most needed majors and most helpful for graduates entering the current job market.
4. Build a strong resume. The career center offers help with writing resumes See Job Hunting on page 6

New professor earns national recognition for research paper By Whittney Johnson news@kykernel.com
Before stepping foot onto UK’s campus, new faculty member Timothy Taylor scored a national research award. Taylor, an assistant civil engineering professor, was the recipient of the 2009 Dana Meadows Research Paper Award at the International Conference of the System Dynamics Society in Albuquerque, N.M. Taylor earned his doctorate at Texas A&M University and joined the UK ranks in August. “The awards committee itself was led by some of the leading sys-
tem dynamists in the world,” Taylor said. “That means a great deal to be selected by them.” Taylor grew up in Boone County, Ky., where he watched his father work as a construction contractor. Inspired by his father, Taylor pursued his career at UK with hopes of someday working with him. However, shortly before graduation, Taylor’s father suffered health complications and was no longer able to work in the field. After working a few years in the surface mining industry in Texas, Taylor returned to school to earn his Ph.D. in construction engineering and management.
First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
“I encourage any student, regardless of field, to get some experience in their industry before working towards a doctorate degree,” Taylor said. Taylor’s dissertation, “Science, Engineering and Technology in the Policy Process for Natural Systems,” explained how scientists and engineers “fit” into public policy process. The paper focuses on the case of stratospheric ozone depletion, but the main purpose behind the paper is to understand how scientists and engineers influence public policy. Taylor’s current research applies the framework to U.S. civilian nuclear power to understand how scientists
and engineers influence society’s risk perception of nuclear power. Taylor said the paper argued that just because we are spending the money to gain the knowledge, does not always mean we understand what to do with the knowledge we are receiving. The Dana Meadows Research Paper Award was first presented in 2001, to honor the life and work of Dana Meadows, who died in February of that year, after a long career in education and research focused on a systems approach to social and environmental issues. Taylor submitted his dissertation to the ICSDS on March 1 and was notified
on June 6 of his award. His paper was selected from 29 student entries as the best research paper submitted to the conference by a student. Thomas Lester, dean of the College of Engineering, said Taylor’s recent hire was a beneficial decision to the university. “He comes from one of the outstanding construction management and engineering programs in the United States,” Lester said. “(He) has a substantial amount of practical experience, and will assist our efforts in making our own construction management and engineering program the best in the country.”

The city gives photographers an awesome opportunity to observe people's actions. It's rare to see anyone take a moment to themselves, except when they might be waiting for the metro in Foggy Bottom.
Khloe and Lamar had a prenup Kardashian and Odom’s fast marriage was fully legal. They are Mr. and Mrs. Odom after all! WhenKhloe Kardashian, 25, and the L.A. Lakers’Lamar Odom, 29, tied the knot September 27, some sources speculated that, given the quickie courtship (32 days), they couldn’t have hammered out a prenup covering Odom’s $83 million in earnings — and the nuptials may not have been legally binding. But Hot Stuff has learned the official document was done before their wedding day. “The prenup was taken care of,” says a source. “They are 100 percent legally married.” A different insider, however, reveals the negotiations were anything but smooth: Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, “kept rejecting offers from Lamar’s lawyers and trying to milk it for more money.” Jenner, 53, also helped mastermind the lavish nuptials. Her motive? A source says she’s still steamed daughter Kim, 28, eloped with record producer Damon Thomas in 2000 (they split in 2004). Says the insider: “Kris wanted it to be huge!” Despite the big production, a source says Kardashian was irked that Jaime Pressly and Justin Guarini both had weddings that same -weekend. The insider says she asked a pal, “Why’d they pick this week of all weeks?”

It was almost a lap dance.” And while a source says, “He’s having trouble settling down,” a Timberlake insider insists, “He’s in a serious relationship with someone he really cares about.”
Lindsay: Her Fashion Flops Quelle horreur! In Paris on October 4, Lindsay Lohan, 23, debuted her first collection as -”artistic adviser” for Emanuel Ungaro - to scathing reviews. Women’s Wear Daily called the designs “cheesy,” while the New York Times quipped, “Hiring a celebrity might be a great way to draw attention, but it’s a terrible way to treat clothes.” Yet despite the bad press, “Lindsay is very much still a part of the house,” says an Ungaro source. And Lohan’s rep tells Hot Stuff, “Lindsay felt the show went great and was proud of her work.”

Hartline to miss at least 4 weeks By Ben Jones
significant injuries, and losing a tough game against the Gamecocks last week, sophomore guard Stuart Hines said he feels like things can pile up on the Cats at times. “It’s just tough,” Hines said. “Sometimes you just have to catch a break and we haven’t really caught one this year. I feel like we’ve played well, especially the last two weeks, and things just haven’t gone our way. It’s frustrating.”
bjones@kykernel.com
COACHES UNDECIDED ON QUARTERBACK SITUATION Hartline will miss at least four weeks after completely tearing his medial collateral ligament, slightly tearing his posterior cruciate ligament and damaging his knee cartilage. He did not injure his anterior cruciate ligament as had been feared by the coaches, and he could return this season depending on how the cartilage heals. “The protocol by the doctors is to let the MCL heal and then basically wait and see if he can play with the slight cartilage tear or not,” UK head coach Rich Brooks said. “If he cannot, then they would remove the cartilage which would be another twoto-three-week proposition. So it’s possible he could play before the end of the season, it’s possible he could not.” Brooks was pleased that there would be no major surgery required for Hartline and that there was no damage to the ACL. Hartline is unlikely to return before the Nov. 14 game at Vanderbilt. Senior offensive guard Christian Johnson isn’t sure who the coaches will choose to lead the Cats this weekend, but seemed confident in any of the options. “We have other quarterbacks, I think, that are ready to step up and that will step up,” Johnson said. Junior quarterback Will Fidler and freshman quarterback

Junior quarterback Mike Hartline will miss at least four weeks due to a complete tear of his medial collateral ligament. Morgan Newton will both see increased reps in practice this week. Sophomore wide receiver Randall Cobb could see his role as a Wildcat quarterback expanded, but Brooks was adamant Cobb would remain a receiver first. Brooks said he will choose Saturday’s starter based primarily on decisionmaking in practice. He said he originally thought Fidler had a better understanding of
the playbook because of his time in the program, but is now less sure about that after Saturday’s game. Fidler went 2-for-8 after relieving Hartline against South Carolina, though there were multiple dropped passes. After playing a pair of top-three teams to open Southeastern Conference play, watching both starting cornerbacks go down for an extended period of time with
Weeks after sacking Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, freshman defensive end Taylor Wyndham is still trying to become known for something other than concussing the 2007 Heisman trophy winner. “It’s getting a little out of hand, but that’s how it goes,” Wyndham said. Wyndham entered the media room on Monday to needling by his teammates, who called him “superstar” in reference to his highlight-reel hit that has made the rounds on ESPN in the last two weeks. But after forcing a fumble in the South Carolina game and earning a starting spot this week at Auburn, Wyndham is becoming known for something other than the hit. “It’s pretty cool, getting all the publicity, but it was kind of for the wrong thing,” Wyndham said. “It was a good play, but people go over the edge with the knockout thing sometimes I think.”
Cool Cats show ability to play with best By Aaron Smith sports@kykernel.com
It took a two-time reigning national champion to cool off the UK men’s hockey team. The Cool Cats (8-1) lost the first game of their season after building an eight-game winning streak. UK fell to two-time defending national champion Davenport 10-6 in their third matchup in the ACHA Division II National Showcase. Multiple players deemed the Davenport game the most important match of the year, but UK was unable to pull off the upset. “We fell down 5-0 in the first period, and it was up to the players to decide how the rest of the game was going to go,” UK head coach Rob Docherty said. “They chose to buckle down and play with pride, and it showed a lot of character.” Even with the Cats’ loss to Davenport, the team had a successful tournament. UK beat Missouri 8-5 on Friday behind a hat trick by junior forward Taylor Vit, then followed that up with a lastminute comeback 5-4 win against Robert Morris in overtime on Saturday. The Cats’ performance in the showcase proved they be-

long on the ice against any opponent, no matter their pedigree, said senior forward Nick Skuraton. Even if that opponent happens to be the backto-back national champions. “We know we can compete with the top teams (in the nation),” Skuraton said. “And we’ve taken the next step. We are one of the top teams now.” “It was a great teambuilding tournament,” Docherty said. “We needed to show we can play with the top teams, the big boys, and we did that. We are a team to be reckoned with.” If the showcase was a measuring stick for UK, then the Cats proved they are legitimate players on the national scene. “We’re good enough to compete for the championship the way we’re playing right now,” said UK general
manager Ian Ward. “But there’s still a lot of hockey left to go, and we have to keep improving. But anything is possible.” The Cats are no strangers to success. UK consistently ranks near the top of their division, and two years ago made the year-end, 16-team national tournament. The team currently sits atop the Southeast Division (one of four divisions that comprise the ACHA Division II league), and the players feel they have that something extra going for them. “We’ve always had all the talent in the world in previous years,” Skuraton said. “This year, our chemistry is really where it needs to be.” Junior defender Andrew Serres echoed that sentiment. “Everything just seems to be better,” he said. “Our speed, our passing, it all just
seems to be clicking right now. And our chemistry has been a huge factor this year.” While chemistry can play a role in racking up victories, it still takes talent. Senior forward Tony Valerino leads the nation with 15 goals through the Cats’ first eight games. His performance keys an offense that is averaging 8.9 goals per game. UK knows its own success means opposing teams will bring their best against them. “We like having a bull’seye on our backs,” Valerino said. “It’s a challenge that we embrace, and we’ve been able to rise to the occasion so far this year.” “We know we have to earn every win and play a full 60 minutes every time out on the ice,” Docherty said. “We know nothing will be given to us, but we’ll be ready.”

At halfway point, UK’s Top 20 Plan far from goals ■ KERNEL EDITORIAL UK’s Top 20 Plan is the main litmus test for the overall direction of the university and so far UK is having trouble reaching its marks. According to a Wednesday Oct. 7 Kernel article, UK doubled its research expenditures and increased enrollment by 3,000 students. While those numbers definitely show progress toward the goals of the Top 20 Plan, progress is hardly where administration would like it to be at this point. No plan of such magnitude will come easy, especially when UK has so much ground to cover to compete with its benchmark universities. Research expenditures by over $436 million and increase enrollment by nearly 7,000 students along with increasing the graduation rate to 72 percent by 2020. The goal of becoming a top-20 lack of public research university is more than admirable. Such an ambitions plan definitely sets an agenda that demands the best for students, faculty and staff — especially considering the overall benefit the plan would bring to the Commonwealth. It will raise education levels, improve health care, accelerate research and increase engagement in communities statewide. In an interview with the Kernel Editorial Board, UK President Lee Todd said his legacy would be tied to the Top 20 Plan. At this rate, Todd may go down in history as the man with lofty goals who couldn’t come through. The problem with such a plan is the public support and unforeseen economic downturn has greatly affected his ability to execute the plan. With budget cuts and tuition hikes, it’s hard to sell the UK community on a plan which brings in new faculty and staff while previously employed individuals’ salaries remain the same. In the same vein, students’ desire for smaller classes, increased resources and an affordable education trumps a plan that takes longterm commitment, something students who are here for relatively brief periods of time do not value. It’s not necessarily time to scrap the Top 20 Plan, but there has to be some serious adjustments to deal with the imminent reality UK is facing. Pushing a plan people do not support is not only foolish and unadvisable, but could set UK further back than before it enacted the Top 20 Plan.
Today’s students lack focus, respect ■ LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I have become distraught and appalled at the seemingly majority of attitudes exhibited by the students here on campus, a revered and noble institution that my great grandfather was fortunate to have hailed from back in the late 1800s. Walking around campus, a simple hello is seldom met with a return. Instead, the passerby will not even acknowledge my presence, or look away as if I am a predator coming to steal something they possess. I am aware most students wear the anti-social device knows as the iPod, a device I see worn in class without an inkling of consideration for their peers, let alone the professors. It seems to me the students in question do not really care about, or perhaps know of, a word called respect, a word I was lucky enough to be taught by my parents at a very young age. While sitting in all of my 100 level classes, I have seen students texting (a word not even recognized by the spell check on my 2004 Apple computer), and talking to their neighbors. I’ve even observed a student looking at porn on her computer during a biology lecture. The latter did make me laugh. I bet her father would be proud. Silliness aside, I find it utterly appalling some of my fellow students have no admiration for these people that have spent years attaining their positions in life. I understand a Ph.D. in history can take up to nine years — and that’s after the six it takes to get a master’s degree. To hear the closing of books and backpacks, almost in unison, five to ten minutes before the end of class not only makes it difficult to hear, but pretty much tells the instructor, “Screw you buddy.” It reminds me of Eric Cartman from the South Park television show saying, “Screw you guys, I am going to do what I want.” I wonder, what is becoming of our society, our world? I was always under the impression that the students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. What kind of world are we becoming? If the students in question really do not care about education or respecting others, then please go home; you are bumming me out. And please don’t have any kids. I am in my late thirties and it is not that the kids today listen to that crazy music or wear their hair wild, hell I do that. It is all about being in a closed community, and having respect for one’s peers. George Fry Food Science freshman

WILLIAM KILUBA, Kernel cartoonist
Protesting needs focus for true impact The President of the United States is in his motorcade on a chilly, rainy morning in Washington, D. C. He looks out of his window and sees the sidewalk covered with protesters. They have been waiting in the rain and the wind with signs and banners supporting their political opinions, hoping he MATT would drive by. They CHRISTY Contributing yell and wave their signs, doing anything columnist to get his attention. The president is swept past them by his driver and taken to a room where his aides and advisers are waiting for him along with experts on the issues the protesters were demonstrating. The president also has polling data showing a representative sample of public opinion on the issue. At that moment, should the president be thinking about the protesters? Should they be a key part of how he makes his decision. For whatever it’s worth, I don’t think so and I am fairly sure that the protesters will not influence the president’s decision. It’s not that protesting is wrong— many of the greatest things accomplished in this nation happened through protest. There are many things you can do if you are upset about the world around you. A citizen can go to court and seek a fair ruling. You can write your congressional representative. You can vote. An individual can post fliers across neighborhoods without fear of violent harassment. You can ask the people you are mad at to sit down with you for mediation if they view you as an equal. You can start your own free
publication about this issue if your First Amendment rights are protected. These options were not equally open to protesters in Alabama in 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus. However, whoever you are and whatever it is you are upset about, these options are open to almost every protester you see when you turn on your television. The problem today is that we protest so often, and about so many things, that the government and most of the populous aren’t really listening anymore. These protests often lack coherency and aren’t the most effective way to make a point. For example, Congress was right not to impeach President Bush because protesters with clever signs told them to, especially when as angry as some of us were, as a nation we re-elected the man.
The moral of the story is not “don’t protest.” Protest your heart out, and bless you for exercising your right to do so. The point is to protest to the people. Similarly, Obama is right not to give up his agenda because people like the tea party goers tell him to. These protesters’ opinions may or may not make sense or represent the will of a civil majority of the people. As a result, the protests should not be the basis for our leaders decision making. Everywhere Obama travels, people protests him, at times simply telling him to go home. Yet his international tour to improve America’s foreign relations was
undoubtedly part of what helped him receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” is an organization that plans marches across the country where men march in women’s shoes to raise awareness of rape and sexual assault. On Sunday such a march occurred in Lexington. It’s clever, inclusive, doesn’t alienate anyone and brings an often overlooked issue to light. “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” is one part of a larger campaign, and perhaps most importantly, it targets regular people who I’m sure will take notice, and in the long run hold the power in a democratic society. The moral of the story is not “don’t protest.” Protest your heart out, and bless you for exercising your right to do so. The point is to protest to the people. Protest to the people, and do so in conjunction with other methods of getting your message out. Protest to the people, because politicians can’t keep their jobs without the people. Lets take gay rights as an example. At this point it is all but inevitable that eventually the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy will be repealed and later on gay marriage will be legalized. This will not happen because government officials see an impressive protest; it will happen; because polling data will tell them a large enough civil majority wants it to happen. So protest to the voters, and do so in a way that brings them around to your viewpoint. If you are going to be angry, or vulgar, or simply incoherently loud, all you are doing is hurting your cause in the long run. You’ll turn people away while trying to get the attention of leaders who just aren’t listening. Matt Christy is a history senior. Email opinions@kykernel.com.
Semester overseas broadening horizons In the past I have written articles of a very opinionated nature. But this article is one that is much different. For the next three months I will be studying abroad in Seville, BRYAN Spain. KENNEDY About Contributing once a columnist month I will be sending in an article to the Kernel to tell everyone about my experience and what it’s like to be many hours and thousands of miles away from the U.S. Getting to Spain wasn’t the easiest road. Needless to say, I hit some speed bumps along the way. Nevertheless, after stacks of paperwork, nervous phone calls to program directors and a near empty bank account, I’m here. After spending about two-and-a-half weeks in Spain it’s hard to articulate my time here, but I will try to do my best. If I told you I was having the time of my life, I think I would still be selling you short and not fully explaining what this experience is like. I had never been able to go out of the country. I’ve only traveled out of Kentucky a small
number of times. So this trip was quite the leap for me and it has been, without a doubt, the best decision of my life. My journey began on Sept. 19.. I flew out of Bluegrass Airport at 6:40 a.m. After a two-hour flight, I had an eight-hour layover in Dallas before I boarded a 13-hour overnight flight to Madrid. This was only my second time in an airport and my first time on a plane, but obviously I got broken in pretty quickly. I left Dallas late that afternoon and finally arrived in Madrid mid-morning on Sunday. From the time I left the airport in Madrid, I’ve been having an unbelievable time. The first place we visited was the National Art Museum of Madrid. I’ve never been an artsy person, but up until this day that museum has been my favorite place that we have visited. The museum housed several pieces of work from artists such as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. It’s such an experience to see famous paintings like “Guernica” and “The Dream” up close and personal. Being so close to these paintings really gives you an idea of what the artist was thinking and why their paintings are a certain way. Since the trip to the museum I have toured numerous cities including Toledo,
Granada and Cordoba, visiting old cathedrals, churches and smaller towns within the cities. Aside from these visits, a small group of new friends and I spent a day at the beach. Although the constant touring and traveling can get tiring, the sites are still unbelievable and I’m still amazed at the sites I see everyday.
My perception of the world continues to grow and my experience can only get better from here. Before I left the states, many people talked about how I would experience culture shock. I had no idea what that meant, but now I know exactly what it means. To me it’s hard to explain, but in Spain things are simply done differently. People aren’t stuck in the everyday hustle and bustle of work like they do in the U.S. Here people literally take three hours out of the day and take time to simply stop and smell the flowers. Everyday from 2 to 5 p.m., people in Spain take a “siesta,” a country-wide nap time. Anyone who knows me knows I would take full advantage of this.
Shops close, businesses shut down, schools stop classes and altogether the city simply takes a break. Honestly, I have no idea why the states have yet to adopt this observance. Siesta’s are definitely one of the things I have grown to love about this country. Overall, I’m having a wonderful time. I love my host family and my roommate. I continue to meet people from all over the world. I’ve had conversations on the beach with people from Germany, Holland and Estonia, and at bars with Americans from Texas, California, Washington and Denver. My perception of the world continues to grow and my experience can only get better from here. Although I didn’t want to say it before, I am having the time of my life. Everyday I cherish every minute that I’m here. I feel it’s my job to tell you of the experience that I’m having so that you all can live vicariously through me. I miss everyone back home, especially, my family, fraternity brothers and friends. I hope all is well and continues to be so. Until next time, good luck to everyone taking midterms. Hasta luego!

FIRE CODE Continued from page 1 have been a big deal for a long time,” Lawless said. “Some of these houses don’t have any way for people to get out, or no smoke alarms, or people sleeping in areas with only one way in. “We want — we need — a safe community. Students and people in the (surrounding) community need to be safe.” Lawless said the timing of the announcement of the fire safety code inspections and of the student housing proposal were not related, to her knowledge. “(The housing proposal) is not just one thing,” Lawless said. “I think it’s going to take a series of things to make sure we have safe housing for all of our citizens.” Landlords, who have been a largely active voice in the off-campus housing proposal debate, would see the most change if the plan went through the LexingtonFayette Urban County Government Housing Planning Committee. Dennis Sills, co-owner of Sills Brothers Properties Inc. for almost 20 years, said the 17 to 18 properties he and his

PHARMACY Continued from page 1 further pursue a career in pharmacy and is required in order for them to practice. The UK college has the highest percentage of students with a first-time pass rate among 120 other national pharmacy programs. More than 12,000 students took the NAPLEX, a 38 percent increase from the number who took the exam in 2008. However, Smith said getting accepted into any pharmacy program is a challenge. “There’s a set of prerequisites students have to complete,” Smith said. “Most colleges require onsite interviews upon admission. It’s a rigorous process.” UK’s College of Pharmacy includes 514 students currently in the Doctor of Pharmacy program. Smith said the UK pharmacy graduates have proved to the country Kentucky is a leader in pharmaceuticals. “Majority of students are from Kentucky (in the UK pharmacy program),” Smith said. “It shows those from Kentucky can be at the top, nationally, in terms of performance.”
that’s wrong,” he said. “Everything is legal, we’ve gone by the books and the rules, and now they want us to change.” Lawless said fire safety code violations have been around for a long time and they exist because of negligent landlords. “There are some irresponsible landlords … that don’t care and are cramming in as many people as possible,” Lawless said. “But there’s also very responsible ones that do care and follow fire safety code enforcements.” Lawless said reporting fire safety code violations is not the responsibility of the students but it is in their best interest. Mary Devins, a biology senior, has lived on Aylesford Place for two years. Devins said her landlord is supposed to keep up the home she rents but “they don’t.” Devins said living in “old, nasty” houses is part of being a college student, especially in a town like Lexington, where UK makes up a significant percentage of the population. “They build outrageously expensive apartments we can’t afford,” Devins said. “If we’re willing to live like this, they should let us stay.” women who were dressed appropriately made a lasting impression on employers compared to students who just dropped in,” Gilmer said. “(Students should) explain to employers who (they) are, what skills (they) have and what position (they) want in 30 seconds or less.”
