KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 38 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
H1N1 forces UK Hospital policy change By Laura Clark lclark@kykernel.com
To reduce the spread of the H1N1 pandemic, UK Hospital is changing its visitation policy. On Wednesday, Dr. Chris Nelson, associate professor of pediatrics specializing in infectious diseases, said Wednesday because of the month-long “widespread influenza situation,” UK Hospital is altering
its current visitation policy to limit the spread of the flu by restricting visitors of patients under 18 years of age to parents only. Nelson said the change was short-term. “I’ll say up front that this is temporary, all of this we hope is temporary,” Nelson said. “A pandemic does resolve, it does reside and the virus will become seasonal … but during the time we’re in a pandemic, we feel it’s important in an insti-
tution to protect our patients ... by changing our visitation policy.” Last week, the hospital received 200 intranasal doses of the H1N1 vaccine. Nelson said while he does not think those supplies are yet exhausted, UK’s head pharmacist was picking up more doses Monday morning, including the intramuscular shot form of the vaccination. “Now we can focus more on the health care providers that we’ve had
to defocus on because they can’t get the intranasal, those who care for bone marrow patients or pregnant health care workers,” Nelson said. Nelson said pregnant women cannot receive the intranasal, or live vaccine, form because it has not been studied in that particular group. He said even though the vaccine supply is still limited, high-risk patients are still encouraged to get the vaccine.
“The concern is we’re going to get into the height of this pandemic peak … before we have the significant number of the population immunized,” Nelson said. The hospital has been tracking how many patients are being seen and staff absentees. Nelson said the volume in outpatient clinics has increased in the last couple of weeks. See Policy on page 6

UK requests smoking ban for sidewalks By Katie Perkowski kperkowski@kykernel.com
On Nov. 19, the only smoke in the air above the sidewalks on the edges of campus may come from the exhaust of construction equipment. At Tuesday’s LexingtonFayette Urban County Council meeting, UK Assistant Vice President for Public Safety Anthany Beatty asked the council to sign a memorandum of understanding prohibiting the use of tobacco products on city-owned sidewalks on and surrounding campus. Beatty said the TobaccoFree Campus Task Force has been working on the proposal for three or four months. He said the committee wants to find the best way to go about compliance on campus and surrounding areas. “We just want a policy that works for everyone,” he said. Diane Lawless, 3rd District councilwoman, said she supports a smoke-free campus but said she needs to determine how members of surrounding neighborhoods feel about the proposed memorandum. “I’d like to kind of poll the neighborhoods because many of them have said since they heard about that, they’re concerned that people will be walking across the street and smoking in their yards,” Law-

less said. “Many of them are like, ‘We don’t want to become UK’s ashtray.’ ” Jeannette Williams, staff to council for the Urban County Council, said the memorandum will go in front of the council at a special meeting on Oct. 27 at 3 p.m. UK has requested the issue be on the Oct. 27 docket instead of waiting until the Nov. 5 meeting. Williams said if the proposal is approved after its second reading, then it would be considered law. As of Oct. 6, 365 colleges and universities nationwide had policies prohibiting smoking on their campuses, according to a Web site titled Inside Higher Ed. Bluegrass Community and Technical College, located near UK, implemented a restrictive tobacco initiative on Aug. 15, 2009. According to the BCTC Web site, students and faculty are prohibited from using tobacco products on all owned, operated or controlled BCTC properties, except within a designated outdoor area.

Junior outside hitter Sarah Mendoza said more people will have to step up to avoid any more upsets this season.
Southeastern Conference teams are supposed to come into Memorial Coliseum, win a set if they’re lucky, then head back home with a loss. Tennessee must have missed the memo. For the second straight year, the Volunteers (15-5, 8-2 SEC) knocked off the Cats at home. After crushing the Cats’ dreams of an SEC title in 2008, the Volunteers put a dent in their hopes this year. “We just didn’t get it done today,” senior setter Sarah Rumely said. “We’re not going to look outside the box and try to pinpoint things, it’s on us and we need to step back inside the gym and improve on some things.” Tennessee defeated the Cats 3-1 (25-23, 23-25, 25-23, 25-22) in front of a boisterous crowd of 2,291 and a national TV audience thanks to ESPNU. It was UK’s first conference loss and only their second loss overall. No. 7 UK (19-2, 9-1 SEC) never seemed comfortable in the match, committing 29 errors and five service errors. The Cats hit under .200 for only the third time this season, and were constantly trailing the visiting Vols. “They’re a really good team, volleyball is a weird sport,” junior outside hitter Sarah Mendoza said. “If you don’t play at 100 percent, any team can really beat you and they always play hard against us.” UK was led by junior outside hitter Blaire Hiler and Mendoza. Hiler notched 12 kills while Mendoza led the game with 22. However, Mendoza feels UK had no one in particular step up, and that it was a team loss. See Volleyball on page 6
Committee proposes legislation to eliminate SG position By Andrew Pillow news@kykernel.com
Student Government’s senatorat-large position could become a thing of the past if an act discussed Wednesday night by the Internal Affairs Committee is passed. The proposal, titled the Senate Membership Constitutional Amendment, would divide the current 40 senators among the colleges and graduate schools. Three freshmen senators and one sophomore senator would be added to each college or school. The amendment would also
add a senator for the College of Public Health, which is not currently represented. There would be 41 senators total. “It will change the proportions of the senators in the Senate and eliminate the senator-at-large position,” said Falon Thacker, College of Arts and Sciences senator. A senator-at-large currently serves all UK students, with no specific constituents, which some felt may be too broad. “We’re just so big, there is no typical student,” said Kara Osborne, a senator-at-large.
First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
The new amendment was drafted with the hope of making the student Senate more representative of the university by distributing senators based on population. The intention was also to bring senators closer to the students they represent by having all the senators be associated with a college, with the exception of the freshmen and sophomore senators. “The goal is to represent the student body based on proportion,” Thacker said. “We do hope with this to create a more inclusive and diverse Senate.”
Under the proposed plan, registered student organizations not under a specific college would still be able to solicit funding. “They can still approach any senator of any college that they like,” Thacker said. Concerns were raised that cutting the senator-at-large position would eliminate qualified candidates. “I think that a lot of deserving people may get cut from getting elected,” said Taylor Pierce, a senator-at-large. Thacker said deserving people
get cut during every election. “With college Senate, I feel like there are always going to be people who deserve to get it who won’t necessarily,” Thacker said. “Not everyone who is qualified is going to get to be a senator.” The committee will forward the proposal to the full Senate, which then must have 75 percent of its members approve the amendment twice before it is passed. The next full Senate meeting is Wednesday, Oct. 28 in room 206 of the Student Center. Students are welcome to attend.

Growing up in a small town, I've always bypassed the quaint, local businesses that grace almost every corner. When I finally had the opportunity to visit a local barber shop, I realized I hadn't just passed up stores, I had been missing human connections that were being created and strengthened within my own hometown.

Penn’s bare moments
Prep school was never this brutal! In the big-screen thriller “The Stepfather” (out Oct. 16), Penn Badgley, 22, plays a reformed bad boy trying to save his family from his mother's murderous boyfriend. The actor, who has dated his Gossip Girl costar Blake Lively, 22, for almost two years, talks working out — and making out! — with Us.
Q. What's it like watching yourself on screen? A. It's uncomfortable. Seeing your face up there, I find myself grimacing and flinching the whole time. And I sweat, too. It's just, like, Oh, God!
Q. Was it tough to film the crying scene? A. It was one of the few exercises in true acting I've done. I tried to think of things in my life that would make me cry. But I was starring in a movie and living in New York City — nothing was wrong in my life. So I thought about what was going on with the character, and then it came easily.
Q. How about showing your chest? A. I had been relaxing in Europe, drinking and eating.
Then they called right before filming and said I was get-

ting a trainer. I had seven days to get in shape! It was brutal weight-training.
Q. Do either you or Blake get jealous watching each other's kissing scenes?
A. I don't overthink it. I shut that part of my brain off and go through the motions. It's the same with Blake. We have an unbelievable trust and such a healthy relationship.
Faith's New Fragrance “It's a classic scent: you can wear it all day while wearing sweats or with a cocktail dress at night," country singer Faith Hill tells Us of her eponymous debut perfume ($31 for 1.7 oz, JC Penney stores). The scent mixes pear and musk notes and contains hints of the Jackson, Miss., native's favorite flowers from childhood: peonies and southern magnolias. Family affair Hill bounced ideas off husband and seasoned perfumer Tim McGraw (who has put out two men's colognes already) to create the signature blend. And what do daughters Gracie, 12, Maggie, 11, and Audrey, 8, think? "They love it," she gushes. COPYRIGHT 2009 US WEEKLY

Calling them out When to confront friends about relationship obsession Don’t pretend it doesn’t bother you. From the constant pawing on each other to the awkward public fights, we all know those couples whose relationships rule their lives, and we all want to KATIE duct-tape their SALTZ mouths shut Kernel when we are columnist around them for extended periods of time. Whether it’s a new, exciting relationship or a long-term, monogamous commitment, everyone experiences some behavior alterations when they have a significant other in their life. While many changes are just necessary to make a relationship work,
some cross the border of endearing, soar through obnoxious and set up camp in the downright infuriating territory. Let’s run through a few of those couples who are in desperate need of a vacation from one another. The pet-name users: They call each other “babe” so often you almost forget their real names. When you ask one individual a question they answer with the pronoun “we,” as in “we went to class, then we went to the grocery store, then we watched ‘Law & Order’ …” Try this trick, repeatedly call each of them “snookums, cupcake, sugar bear, etc.” When they ask what you are doing, say, “I’m sorry. Does that bother you?” The M.I.A. friend: One of the most common behavior changes is what I like to call “friend who gets a girl/boyfriend and suddenly drops off the face of
the planet” syndrome. I’m sure you know some of the afflicted. These folks become so increasingly immersed in their relationship that friend-time gets put on the back burner. You call to go out to the bars and hear, “No thanks, I think we’re staying in tonight.” Every night. This is a problem that needs to be addressed. If you are a neglected friend, chances are you were around before the new partner and you will be around long after. Try the line “I’m happy you guys are getting along so well, but we really miss you hanging out. Let’s plan a night to go out and catch up soon.” The Siamese twins: Oh, the automatically assumed, all-inclusive invitation. This is when you invite your friend over to play video games, and he shows up with his girl in tow. Or you make See Saltz on page 6
Author speaks on ending ‘funk of race relations’ By Tommy Stuart features@kykernel.com
Tim Wise, leading white commentator on race relations, does not think enough progress is being made in the realm of race-related issues. Wise spoke at Worsham Theatre in the Student Center to a group of about 200 people, including college students, on Wednesday night and covered topics ranging from unemployment, to affirmative action to the economy, Wise, who has made appearances on CNN and is the author of four books on race including “Between Barack and a Hard Place,” talked about more than just problems with race in American society. Wise spoke about his own family’s issues with race, including assumptions on whether God is white. “We don’t have iconography that denotes a racial identity in our household, but my daughter made the assumption that God was white,” Wise
said. “I don’t teach my children this, but they are poisoned by it anyway.” One major topic Wise addressed was post-racial America after Obama’s election. “If a person of color can only become accepted by acting white, then that is not putting racism behind us, it is white power,” Wise said. Much of what Wise said may seem like common knowledge to some, but others learned something new. “Most of this stuff I already knew, but he opened my eyes to a lot of stuff because, yeah, he’s white and he knows he has privilege and he’s not denying it, he admits to it,” said Danny Cotton, an English senior. Wise advocates white people declaring support for lessening racism, and Cotton said that mentality was key to universal racial acceptance. “Civil rights can’t happen without allies,” Cotton said. “Sure, See Wise on page 6

City must correct its construction issues ■ KERNEL EDITORIAL
Lexington and, more specifically, downtown Lexington, is a mess. We all know construction is a pain; it doesn’t need to be reiterated how students and residents alike are inconvenienced with one of the busiest streets near campus being shut down. We’ve all heard it before. The growing pains Lexington is currently experiencing had to have been expected. Honestly, Lexingtonians knew it was coming; the city is growing faster than it can handle. Poor traffic and overall lack of planning and infrastructure is proof that this city wasn’t built to be as big as it is now. The Limestone reconstruction, one of Lexington residents’ and students biggest headaches right now, is essential. So is the construction on West Main Street. But how long is it going to last? Last week the Urban County Council met and discussed the speeding up of the construction along Limestone; apparently construction crews can work until 10 p.m., when they’ve currently been working until 4 or 5 p.m. “I absolutely support the concept and the
plan,” said Diane Lawless, 3rd District councilwoman in a Oct. 16 Kernel article. “I just think the way it was done, while many other projects were going, was very flawed.” Lawless also said the construction did not have to be as painful and as expensive as it has been for Lexingtonians. Right now, construction is planned for completion in July 2010, but business owners have requested for the project to be completed by March. Is it realistic? The construction currently looks never ending. Yes, the added trees will be nice, bike lanes will be a great addition, and wider sidewalks will be fantastic for pedestrians. But right now it’s an eye sore. March definitely sounds like a win over a July finish. Currently, the council is unsure how much it will cost to plan to negotiate new contracts with the construction company, ATS Construction, and the utilities companies.Lawless said one way to speed up construction was for the company to put in two shifts a day. If the concern for working late into the night is the students, ATS Construction
shouldn’t be too terribly worried. Students living on North Campus haven’t had to hear the constant drone of ambulances speeding up Limestone all semester, an all-too-common noise students become accustomed to very early on — when there isn’t construction. Speeding up work on Limestone will only benefit them; being able to freely move about on the sidewalks and crossing to the business across the street will be easier once everything is said and done. Growing pains are just that — a pain. But the end result will be a bigger, better constructed Lexington. Continue to voice your
opinions to the Urban County Council. Let Lawless know how you feel; she is this area’s voice for the council. The Limestone construction will eventually come to an end, with both residents and businesses benefiting from the mess. For now, we’ll have to keep working on finding new shortcuts and routes around campus. At least there’s one benefit to the Limestone construction: the legal jaywalking across Limestone, heading north on Avenue of Champions. Admit it: it’s the one effect of the construction that doesn’t make you wait.

Enjoyment should always be top goal Television interests indicate While sitting up late last Thursday waiting for the H1N1 effects to wear off, I dove head first into my search for a summer internship. One particular internship, only hours away from deadline, held WESLEY the attention of ROBINSON the front of my Kernel frantic mind, columnist while the other part of the night’s search served as productive time while shut in the house. As a result of the swine flu shutting me out of class, work, the Kernel and everything else I normally do, I had to perform a lastminute sickly search for the columns I would feel confident shipping off as representation for my potential as a writer. Lately, I haven’t been a big fan of my writing and am generally glad just to have a column done, but the experience of reviewing my writing and reflecting on the work as a whole was interesting one, from which I walked away with a great deal of learning. For one, it’s so much easier to write columns when I have the opportunity to talk to people and experience what’s really happening on campus. I would much rather spend my day being able to just be a student — talking to peers, dropping in on friends and sitting in common areas. Instead, I shuffle from work to class to the Kernel, back to work and back to class, with meetings sprinkled in on my non-Kernel days. The time to observe and passively participate is gone and my writing has suffered. There isn’t that sense of pride from telling a story or shedding light on an issue — it’s pretty much just meeting deadline and doing my job. Another thing I noticed, which goes hand in hand with my first observation, was how much I used to enjoy writing. The biggest smile hit my face when I read a few of my columns from fall 2008. And it wasn’t because people told me
they enjoyed them. Some of the columns surrounding Barack Obama’s bid for president, my experience with Ramadan, a column about the true holiday spirit and a few others gave me a pleasurable, nostalgic feeling of contentment about what I was doing. I felt like I told unique stories, or at least told the same story from a different perspective — most likely a function of being able to absorb all that campus has to offer instead of just being tied down to a job. I did notice that I need to get considerably better if I plan on making this journalism thing a career. Sentence structure, organization, proofreading and a few other aspects of writing aren’t always a staple of my columns. I mean, it’s bad when you can’t even understand what you were trying to say several months after the fact. OK, maybe it wasn’t that bad, but as with any other writer, I am not above improving in one area or another, I just happen to have a lot to work on.
That was a very roundabout way of saying: take ahold of your life, figure out what it is you enjoy, why you enjoy it and just do it. Lastly, I picked up on how the desire for writing comes and goes. The entire time I have been a Kernel columnist, I have been slotted as a weekly contributor, but me writing a column every week is like Kanye West using his platform to humbly make a measured statement or ESPN not taking every possible opportunity to tell you why Brett Favre is great, why they love him and why you should, too. Save a few three-to-four week spots when I was so passionate about a specific issue, I couldn’t help but write, I have had trouble finding motivation and inspiration to crank out 600-
plus words in a cohesive, coherent thought. I’d like to commit right now to writing regularly, but I’d rather take the Alex Rodriguez approach and pleasantly surprise you with consistent, quality columns. Over the past couple of weeks, I have been getting e-mails from an increasing number of Journalism 101 students, all of which are trying to get published per Buck Ryan’s syllabus. Not only am I pleased to have the services of an army of young, enthusiastic writers willing to help us fill out the page, I am happy to see that younger peers have the desire to write, to tell a story and to provide the commentary that makes life worth living. As rewarding as starting a discussion can be and as beneficial to getting pieces published for your grades can be, I want to warn against burn out. Not in the sense of getting into something and being stuck and not being able to get out, but getting stuck in a position and forgetting why you are there and what makes that position enjoyable for you. Over the summer, I spent my day sitting at a desk. It’s the same job I’ve had for a while, but I had to stay at a desk. I hated it. Not because of the work, the people or the situation, but because I wasn’t free, I couldn’t be me. But when school started and I was able to resume my normal parttime schedule, I rekindled the relative love with my job. And it’s the same thing with writing. I wasn’t able to help put out a paper for a week, and I just didn’t feel right. Sure, it takes up a lot of my time and ensures that I don’t get to bum around campus, but it gives me time to do something that I enjoy, where I can leave a small imprint on the university. That was a very roundabout way of saying: take ahold of your life, figure out what it is you enjoy, why you enjoy it and do it. No greater disservice can be done to yourself than self constraint and doing things out of duty and not desire. Wesley Robinson is a Spanish senior. E-mail wrobinson@kykernel.com.
nations’ general ignorance
I was struggling while coming up with ideas for this article, so, to break the writer’s block, I decided to flip the channels on TV. When I reached the block of cable news channels, I saw something extraordinary: Every one of them was covering a weather balloon gone astray with a child in it. MATTHEW Here’s the kicker: The boy was hiding FOX Contributing in his attic and was columnist nowhere close to the balloon. I’ve told that story to ask one simple question: Why? Why do we as a nation watch a balloon fly around for hours because one child might be in it, then get upset when we find it to be a hoax? I say touche to that family for getting an entire country to believe the family’s son was on that balloon. If we have nothing better to do with our time, or if the news has nothing better to report, then we deserve to be duped a couple of times. If the most important, news-worthy story happening in the world was this, then I think we as Americans need to re-think our priorities. It seems we are more concerned with the latest celebrity arrested for drunken driving, or what happens to “reality” TV stars, than we are about things going on that truly have an impact on the world that we live in. There are genocides going on in Sudan and The Congo, a repressive regime in Myanmar is jailing people for even speaking about democracy and piracy in the oceans is plaguing worldwide trade. But we don’t hear about any of this until something involving America happens. We didn’t hear about Myanmar in the news until an American swam to it, nor did we hear about piracy until an American vessel was taken. We are selfish, and unless it’s happening to us, we do not want to hear about it. However, what we want to hear about and what we need to hear about are two different things, and that is where the 24-hour cable news channels come in. They have a fantastic and unprecedented opportunity to give us important information around the clock. But, sadly, they fall very short of this goal. They report on what will make them money rather than on what the
American people need. It’s not all about the money; it’s about doing what is best for our society. Scaring people with threats of a deadly swine flu epidemic or being blatantly biased toward one political party is not the way to do it. They have a duty to the American people to provide the high quality information necessary for a democracy to function. By siding with one party over another, they fall short of this. They provide one side of an issue and present it as absolute fact rather than their own opinions. For us to have an informed citizenry that is politically active, the media needs to present both sides to a story and present the facts. Why does it matter if Sarah Palin’s daughter was pregnant, or that Barack Obama’s father was Kenyan? It doesn’t. The only thing that matters are the political issues which, quite frankly, have taken a back seat to all of this in recent years.
Why do we as a nation watch a balloon fly around for hours because one child might be in it, then get upset when we find it to be a hoax? As Americans we need to change our attitudes and views of the world. We need to get rid of this selfish attitude we have and actually care about the world we live in. Most of the news channels and organizations such as Fox News, MSNBC and CNN care more about money than about what is best for the people. The attitudes can’t be changed until we change what the mass media broadcasts and engrains in us. What is more important: when a celebrity gets arrested for DUI or when thousands of children die in one day due to a genocide? The mass media virtually sets the mindset of our society. With that being said, I end with a quote by William Bernbach, a legend in American advertising who said, “All of us who professionally use the mass media are the shapers of society. We can vulgarize that society, we can brutalize it, or we can lift it onto a higher level.” Matthew Fox is a political science, and psychology sophomore. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.
Basic sanitation will prevent H1N1, influenza outbreaks Cover your mouth when you cough. Such an idea is simple in principle — when you cough, you cover your mouth, keeping your germs to yourself. I was under the assumption most people were raised this way, with parents teaching children to use their hands to blanket their AUSTIN face when they HILL sneezed or when Kernel they coughed, but columnist I was gravely mistaken. The world has been on high alert over the past several months as H1N1, more commonly known as the dreaded “swine flu,” has made its way from host to host. When it first appeared, there were fatalities resulting from the virus, striking a panic in much of the population. Over time, the virus seems to have less effect, taking people out for a few days
with symptoms similar to the common flu. People have been buying hand sanitizer in record numbers, Lysol has flown off the shelves and, in many cases, people have missed work or class just trying to avoid this plague. One of the main reasons is because you cannot count on others to keep their sickness to themselves, considering they seem to have forgotten basic manners. I respect anyone who gets sick and doesn’t call in. I can appreciate hard work — someone who perseveres through illness — it’s the sign of someone on a mission. For many, though, the only mission is to spread their nonsense into the air — in their case, misery loves company. It drives me nuts, watching someone in a room full of people hacking and wheezing with their face exposed in the air, blowing their nose and laying the used Kleenex on the surface in front of them, passing their non-
sense to the next person. This isn’t rocket science, it’s a fundamental courtesy. Cover your face! I sat next to someone a couple of weeks ago who tried to share their flu with me.
If you are one of the people who insist on trying to sideline me with your unfortunate condition, I warn you to be ready for an earful. When the mucus started coming up for air, I watched him look at the floor and let it rip. With no apologies, I gathered my belongings and moved a few seats down the aisle. What was comical was the expression on the guy’s face, as he looked at me as if I said something about his momma. If I did say anything, I would tell her to teach her son how to properly use his disease-riddled
hands to keep his colorful phlegm to himself. If she had done such a thing earlier in his life, as I suspect she did, I would ask her to follow her son around with a ruler and swat his hands each time he failed to place them to his mouth at such a proper occasion. I wait tables and see many manners go by the wayside in adulthood. Some people talk with their mouths full of food, eat with their elbows on the table and are just rude to the core of their existence. I have accepted these things. I understand wearing a hat to dinner does not make you a bad individual, it just makes some people look at you funny. The swine flu is no different. Please pity people who are sick. Give them the sympathy you would expect to be shown. However, if one of these people insists on being like that monkey from the movie “Outbreak,” you must be responsive. This is for the better of the whole, and we cannot have an orgy of infection parad-
ing through the air. Tell them to exercise decency and shield you from their infection. Tell them to think of when they were 3 years old, or whenever it was they learned to say “please” and “thank you,” and ask them to remember the bit about face covering. Speaking for myself and others who have not been infected, we wish to keep it that way. If you are one of the people who insist on trying to sideline me with your unfortunate condition, I warn you to be ready for an earful. In fact, I encourage everyone to do the same. The only way we can avoid illness in these crucial times is to look out for one another. Those who have it need not share it, and those who do not want it need to be protected. It is a give-and-take system, and I am one of the many who would rather not be given anything, nor have to take time to remind someone of common courtesy. Austin Hill is an English senior.

Smith looks to lead UK rushing game on Saturday By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
He sat behind then-senior Rafael Little in his sophomore year. His junior year, he was blocked on the depth chart by Tony Dixon, one year older than him. Now that he’s finally a senior and both those players are gone, Alfonso Smith is still waiting on his chance to be the main man in the Cats’ running back rotation. “You know, you get frustrated when you come into the season and you have some high expectations and some things don’t swing your PHOTO BY ZACH BRAKE | STAFF way and you see your reps Senior tailback Alfonso Smith eludes an Auburn defender in the decrease,” Smith said. “But everything’s good now and Cats’ 21-14 win over the Tigers on Oct. 17.

VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 1 “More people needed to step up,” Mendoza said. “I couldn’t name one person who really stepped up.” Tennessee continues to be a thorn in the Cats’ side. In the past four seasons, three of UK’s eight home losses have come against Tennessee. “We have to respond from this,” Rumely said. “We’re a good team but we’re not a great team yet. There are many things we can work on and improve upon which is really encouraging.”

The game was highlighted by sloppy play and controversial calls. Several times in the match play was stopped, giving a coach time to make his case to an official. UK came out flat, being down by five several times in the first set. UK then played well enough to clench the second set, but the team says its play was less than satisfactory. “They just played a lot harder then us,” Mendoza said. UK came out of the halftime break and looked to be refreshed, jumping out to a 10-5 lead, but after a Tennessee timeout and a 9-2 Tennessee run, the Cats found themselves in another dog fight, ultimately falling. Mendoza and Hiler tried to spark the Cats in the 4th set with 11 kills between the two, but in the end it just wasn’t the Cats’ day. “We didn’t come in and act like this was our home court and no one beats us on our home court, we didn’t play that tonight un-

fortunately,” Hiler said. “Saturday against Louisiana State we’re going to come out and we have a lot to prove.” The Cats will have to bounce back if they want to make their dream of an SEC title a reality. They host Louisiana State on Saturday. LSU and UK sit on top of their respective divisions with one conference loss each, but the Cats get the tiebreaker due to a 3-0 sweep in Baton Rouge earlier this season. “They’re going to have a lot of revenge,” Hiler said. “They just beat Florida and it’s going to be a really tough match so were going to play with everything we have.”

Nelson said UK Hospital was not overwhelmed at the moment. “We are not overwhelmed right now, you do not see tents outside in the parking lot outside the ER,” Nelson said. “We are not experiencing a critical staffing shortage at the present time, but what I tell you today may changed tomorrow — that’s the nature of the beast here. “But right now, we are managing and we are maintaining … It’s not necessarily business as usual, but we’re not in our emergency operations planning right now.”

No, it’s my right.” The ban includes areas such as parking lots, walkways and sidewalks. Students were notified of the ban during admission and enrollment time and received a handout outlining the policy.
There is one designated smoking area located outside of the Maloney Building, across the street from the outdoor Johnson Center basketball courts. UK does not currently have a designated smoking area as part of its upcoming plan. Brittney Sullivan, a BCTC student who has been smoking for six years, said the policy has inconvenienced her. “I don’t have any classes in this building,” Sullivan said. “We shouldn’t have to walk for 10 minutes to have five minutes to smoke and get back.”

plans to go shopping for shoes, and she brings the beau along. You didn’t specifically say “only you can come,” in the invite, but isn’t it assumed that those activities that were friend-only pre-relationship would stay that way? This may seem whiny or clingy, but there is no problem with wanting to exclude the significant others every once and a while. It’s great to hang out in groups, but your friend needs some time away from the relationship just as much as you need time with your friend. Don’t worry about sounding whiny — just be honest. “As much as I love (insert name here), I’d like it if we could hang without him/her sometime.” These are just three of the common annoyances I find from couples. But there are many more. If you notice a major behavior change in your pal once they’re in a relationship (and it’s for the worst) bring it up politely but in all seriousness. Don’t let your friend sink into that terrible pool of relationship isolation without at least offering a life line. Katie Saltz is a journalism senior. E-mail theheartbeat@kykernel.com.
women, blacks and everyone else may fight for stuff, but they can’t do it without allies there to help them, so be an ally.” Cotton was not the only one to take something away from the event. “I think he showed everyone that race is around us, and we’re exposed to it whether we want to be or not,” said agricultural communications freshman Coria Bowen. Wise said he believes we should realize race does not only affect employment, it affects children’s views on society as well. “The thing is that you have to talk to your kids about race because, if you don’t, they’ll make their own assumptions and those might not be good,” Wise said. He said the core message of his speech is Americans need to take the initiative. “What we have to understand is that even though we might have contributed to the mess and we have no moral obligation to clean it up, we must take the responsibility to stop living with the funk of race relations,” Wise said.
