KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 38 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Rain, football join over Halloween weekend By Chris Robbins news@kykernel.com
It is a good thing this weekend has an extra hour. During what is expected to be a rainy weekend, Keeneland will close out its fall season, the UK football team will play its homecoming game, and trick-or-treaters and college students alike will celebrate Halloween. Even Miley Cyrus
is performing in Lexington on Sunday. Daylight saving time will add an extra hour on Sunday at 2 a.m., and Lexington police and fire crews are prepared to see an increase in pedestrian activity, especially families. “This year is the first year we’ve had a ball game on Halloween night as well as the time change,” said interim UK Police chief Maj. Joe Monroe. “It will probably give us
more challenges.” Ken Armstrong, a commander with the Lexington Police Department, said that while the weekend will be busy, the normal amount of patrols would be sufficient. “Obviously it’s a big weekend for Lexington,” Armstrong said. “Ultimately, the events themselves are spaced out enough … so we just have to make sure we have enough
personnel in the event that something did occur.” The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government extended Halloween trick-or-treating hours to accommodate families attending the UK versus Mississippi State football game. The hours will now run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. instead of the previous 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. “Our biggest concern is our kids being safe running out and about,”
said Marshall Griggs, battalion chief of the Lexington Fire Department. “This year with the events, there will be an increase in traffic, and we’re hoping to see parents being extra cautious.” However, children are not the only ones who will be celebrating this weekend.

As university enrolls more students, apartments spring up to house them all By Garrett Wymer news@kykernel.com
In the last few years, student apartment complexes have shot up on the streets around UK’s campus. Within a two-mile radius, at least six new complexes marketed as for student living have been built, and some are still under construction. The seemingly ex-
plosive growth of apartment complexes is possible because UK is growing and plans to add 7,000 students by 2020 under the Top 20 Business Plan. And while the number of available apartments is rising, most remain at or near capacity. Campus Court on Red Mile Road reported that its complex is completely full, and none of Newtown Crossing’s 365
Homecoming parade will affect parking, streets near campus The Student Center parking lot and the employee lot next to Memorial Coliseum will be closed Saturday from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. for staging of the 2009 Homecoming parade. The parade will begin at 9 a.m. and last until about 10:30 a.m. The parade’s route spans from Memorial Coliseum to Cooper Drive and will cause closures to sections of Lexington Avenue, Avenue of Champions, Rose Street, Huguelet Drive, University Drive and Cooper Drive. If it rains, the floats can be viewed in the employee lot in front of Wildcat Lodge. Chrissie Balding Tune, UK Parking and Transportation Services spokeswoman, said most other employee and commuter lots will remain open for parking during the allotted time. — KATIE PERKOWSKI

apartments on South Broadway are empty. Royal Lexington apartments on Virginia Avenue reported its current occupancy at 98.6 percent. Even 5 Twenty Four Angliana, which opened less than a year ago, is about 76 percent full. While UK plans to increase enrollment, Tom Harris, associate vice president for External Affairs, said that because of budget cuts and the inability to build more stud e n t housing on cam-
pus right now, enrollment is not growing as expected. The overall student population at UK increased by less than 200 students in the last year because freshman enrollment and the number of students graduating remained about the same. “We really haven’t grown much,” Harris said. Without the strain of an increased number of students on campus, Harris said, student housing was assigned to all who applied for it. The increase in student apartment complexes also contributed See Apartments on page 4
Business fraternity recognizes 2 students By Erica Mitchell news@kykernel.com
Two members of the nation’s oldest professional business fraternity received awards at a national convention earlier this year. Marketing junior Jake Metz and finance senior Jordan Wilson, members of the UK chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, were awarded two of five individual awards presented at the coed fraternity’s biennial convention in August. The convention, held in Orlando, Fla., included about 200 chapters and 95,000 people. “UK’s chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi is unique because we are innovators,” said chapter president Kacey Marr. “Our
members are constantly striving to find new ways to excel.” Wilson was named Brother of the Year, and Metz was named Innovator of the Year. Marr said Wilson was awarded Brother of the Year because of his involvement in the fraternity at the local and international level. “I have been fortunate enough to be honored individually, but it wouldn’t have happened without the help of the other members,” said Wilson, the fraternity’s vice president of administration. “We build off each other.” Metz said that being one of more than See Award on page 4
Construction of the new Eastern State Hospital on UK’s Coldstream Research Campus is scheduled to begin in July 2010, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear announced Thursday. The $129 million, 230-bed facility will replace the 185-year-old psychiatric hospital on Fourth Street and Newtown Pike and is exBeshear pected to be nearly complete by 2012, according to a news release from the governor’s office. Moving Eastern State Hospital to the Coldstream Research Campus is part of a land swap among UK, Bluegrass Community and Technical College and the hospital. BCTC will move from its location on Cooper Drive to the current Eastern State Hospital site. UK will then acquire the BCTC buildings. — BLAIR THOMAS
Keeneland goes blue Annual event offers free admission to track By Tom Shearman news@kykernel.com
Keeneland will wrap up its fall meet this weekend with some help from UK. The race track will host its thirdannual "See Blue" Day on Friday, offering free admission for UK students, faculty, staff and alumni with a UK ID. The event is a good way “for UK and Keeneland to show the great relationship they have,” said UK Director of Marketing Kelley Bozeman. The day will include events to benefit DanceBlue. Part of the revenue from a book signing with UK men’s basketball coach John Calipari will go to the dance marathon. Former UK quarterbacks Dusty Bonner, Jared Lorenzen and Tim Couch will also sign hats to benefit the cause. Organizers expect to see an increase in attendance from last year’s crowd of around 2,000, Bozeman said. Students, faculty, staff and alumni are encouraged to wear blue to the race track in preparation for UK’s homecoming game against Mississippi State, Bozeman said. “See Blue” Day will kick off at 11 a.m., and the first race will run at 1:10 p.m.

Just moments before kickoff at home football games, head coach Rich Brooks and his team crowd anxiously under the giant inflatable helmet at the corner of the field. The excitement and tension under the helmet sends shivers down your spine. The moment they burst out onto the field, the cheering in the stadium is deafening. It's an amazing moment, and it all lasts only 30 seconds. — ADAM WOLFFBRANDT
Extra’s sexy host How’s this for a job with benefits? “I get to stand next to Mario Lopez every day!” original So You Think You Can Dance host Lauren Sanchez, 38, tells Us of her new gig as an Extra weekend anchor. “And, yes, his pecs are as big as they look in photos. I know because I’ve accidentally walked in on him changing in wardrobe!” The perks don’t stop there. As one half of a Hollywood power couple (agent-husband Patrick Whitesell, 44, reps such names as Matt Damon and Hugh Jackman), the mom of three finds it easy to mix business and home life. “Sometimes I’ll cover a premiere that he’s attending anyway,” she says. “We’ll get to see the movie, and then we can call it a date night!”
Prada’s hot new bag A-list arm candy: Hollywood bag buffs Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes and Penelope Cruz are toting Prada’s Saffiano + Tessuto $1,550 leather purse. “I love the way it looks, and it’s so versatile,” Orlando Bloom’s girlfriend, model Miranda Kerr, tells Us. Cruz’s stylist Cristina Ehrlich adds, “It is timeless, and the textured leather is very luxe.”
Michael Buble in love again “It was cathartic,” Michael Buble tells Us of recording his ninth traditional pop CD, “Crazy Love,” which sped to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart in
three days. The Grammy winner, 34, had a lot to draw from. After breaking up with Emily Blunt, 26, in July 2008, Buble had a period of introspection: “It was a tough time with some dark feelings, but I became more self-aware.” As for Blunt’s engagement to The Office’s John Krasinski, 30, “we talked and I congratulated her,” he says. “Emily is amazing, so this guy also has to be.” Nine months ago, the Vancouver native met Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato, 22, while on tour in Buenos Aires — and sparks flew. Now they’re taking lessons to learn each other’s first languages. (“Her English is perfect, but for me it’s muy dificil!” he laughs), and she plans to visit him on the road. As for marriage? “It’s too early to tell, but she’s a good soul and I love her family, so we’ll see!”
Sandra Lee’s guilt-free desserts Dessert is not a dirty word! The key to digging in without bulking up is being strategic with ingredients, says Sandra Lee, a Food Network host. “When butter is called for in a recipe, cut the amount in half and sub in canola oil for the other half. It’s lower in saturated fat,” says Lee, author of the new Semi-Homemade Weeknight Wonders. COPYRIGHT 2009 US WEEKLY

Siblings hope to get curling club started, grow the sport at UK
STARS By Nick Craddock
sports@kykernel.com
People in Lexington, the selfproclaimed horse capital of the world, probably know “Curlin” as the 2007 Preakness Stakes winner. Siblings Matthew and Meredith Brown know “curling” as the team sport reminiscent of an icy version of shuffleboard. Matthew Brown, a history freshman, and Meredith Brown, an English junior, are attempting to start a curling club at UK in the near future, in hopes of building curling’s popularity in the South. “The challenge of (curling) is it’s a finesse sport,” Meredith said. In curling, two teams of four play a match that lasts 10 ends, which is similar to 10 innings. The teams alternately slide circular granite stones, or rocks, down a sheet of ice to a target, known as the “house.” After teams have delivered all eight of their rocks in an end, the team with the rock closest to the center of the house scores a point and receives additional points for every rock in the house that is closer to the center than their opponents’ rocks. Matthew and Meredith are Chicago natives who grew up in a
family with deep connections to curling. Much of the reason Matthew and Meredith took to the ice to curl as kids can be attributed to their grandmother Ann Brown, who the siblings consider their curling “mentor.” She was the first female president of the United States Curling Association and was a head line official at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, the summit of competitive curling. Curling was made an official Olympic sport for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. Since then, Nordic nations and Canada have fielded the most successful curling teams in international competition., and Canada leads the medal count for curling with six. Matthew wants to start a curling club soon to capitalize on the exposure curling will receive in February during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. “My goal is to compete in the Olympics one day,” Matthew said. “I hope to make it at least to the Junior Olympics.” Unlike Meredith, who curls for leisure now, Matthew still curls competitively and will represent the U.S. over the weekend in the London Junior Cash Bonspiel held in London, Ontario.
Matthew’s three teammates come from various parts of the country, including New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The four teammates meet in Chicago, home to three curling-specific facilities, on the weekend before a major tournament to get in as much practice time as possible. Matthew said the curling world is “close-knit,” despite the long distances. “The lifelong connections you make are amazing,” Matthew said. “After a match, you sit with guys for an hour or an hour and a half and just (hang out). Most teams are created through these kinds of relationships.” Creating a curling team may be the easy part, but creating a curling club at UK, which does not have a curling-specific facility, may pose more of a challenge for the Brown siblings. However, Meredith and Matthew need not look any further than their older brother Ryan for inspiration. While at Indiana University, Ryan successfully started a curling club, in an area not traditionally known for curling. “We’re fourth generation curlers,” Meredith said. “We honestly started to curl as soon as we could walk.”

POSITION BY POSITION
UK vs. Mississippi State
Picks for Week 7
Florida vs. Georgia
Friday, October 30, 2009 Page 3
By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Quarterbacks
This is a matchup between what might be the two worst quarterback situations in the Southeastern Conference. Will Fidler and Morgan Newton have been just good enough to win against Auburn and Louisiana-Monroe. Mississippi State’s Tyson Lee has been putrid all season, though, throwing three touchdowns and nine picks. Advantage: UK
Running backs Anthony Dixon has been one of the most underrated playmakers in the SEC his entire career. He has over 300 more rushing yards than Derrick Locke, who’s been a godsend for the Cats this season. The Bulldog rushing attack isn’t always pretty, but it gets the job done. Adv: Miss. St.
Wide receivers Much like the quarterback situation, neither team is scary here. The Cats deploy Randall Cobb all over the field, but there’s no one to help him. This is another toss-up. But
since we leaned toward UK for the quarterbacks, we’ll lean toward Mississippi State here. Adv: Miss. St.
Offensive line UK’s mostly home-grown offensive line, boasting five Kentucky natives among the top six players, is the reason the offense has found ways to score without an effective passing attack. Mississippi State paves the way on the ground, but UK’s linemen deserve the nod here. They’re the reason for a couple of the Cats’ wins. Adv: UK
Defensive line Corey Peters has played like a man possessed since the Alabama game, helping everyone around him. But UK is last in the SEC in rushing defense, and Mississippi State ranks seventh. The numbers don’t lie. Adv: Miss. St.
Linebackers Micah Johnson won’t start, but he will play, which is good news for UK. Even when he has been out, Danny Trevathan and Sam Maxwell have performed well enough to win
this category for the time being. Adv: UK
Secondary Trevard Lindley is still out, and that will hurt UK. Other players have stepped up, but not enough to replace him. The Bulldogs’ secondary is far from great, but there are enough playmakers to cover whatever UK can trot out at receiver. Adv: Miss. St.
Special teams The Cats have won games by reducing penalties and turnovers so far this year. But if UK can’t eliminate negative plays in coverage, along with an up-and-down kicking game, they won’t win this category. Adv: Miss. St.
Overall Some of UK’s injury questions have been answered, but the Cats can’t be sure until they hit the field. This is a tough one to call. Mississippi State leads in more categories, but UK is competitive in all of them. Both teams need this game. UK gets the nod, but the Cats could be rolled if they’re not ready. Adv: UK

■ LETTERS TO EDITOR
Slighted students’ voices should have been heard I am a Ph.D. candidate at UK. My father and his father were Kentucky coal miners, and the impact coal energy has had on the economy of our state and the livelihoods of the families here are not lost on me. But I agree with the students who dissented at the board meeting. I do not think the name of the Wildcat Lodge is something that should be subject to being sponsored or subsidized. As UK students, we also have great pride in our sense of identity. I do not think these two identities should be merged. If so many are truly against the renaming of this building, then a petition should be brought forth. If a substantial percentage of the student body were to voice their objections, then surely they would be heard. And this is for all of you who choose to be obnoxious to one another rather than listening to and discussing opposing opinions, ideas or beliefs with open minds and respect for one another. Our future and the future of our children depends on what we do today. So, you all should take the time to educate yourselves properly and be a positive influence on the world around us, not to be obnoxious, rash and a catalyst to further chaos and damage. Deborah Cook veterinarian science Ph.D. candidate
WILLIAM KILUBA, Kernel cartoonist
UK should use dorm Homecoming weekend provides many activities to honor coal miners During all of the recent controversy about the "coal building" I was bothered somewhat by the comment of a UK Trustee. The trustee praised the coal industry for having brought Kentucky into the 20th century, but did not qualify that statement. I believe this trustee is a compassionate and educated person who, while praising what the coal industry has given us, would also acknowledge the human suffering, ecological degradation and the unfair economic exploitation brought upon the people of Kentucky by that industry. The bad side of the coal industry's past is a history strewn with the bodies of crushed miners, the broken bodies and corroded lungs of surviving miners, and the long, drawn-out, economic hardship imposed upon a vast number of mining families. Rather than honor the coal industry in general, why not honor those who have sacrificed the most and have received the least, those who gave their lives deep in the mines and on the surface to allow all of us to live the comfortable middle and upper class lives we take for granted? Why not honor the actual people, the Kentucky coal miners, who sacrificed more than anyone else to bring not only Kentucky, but a good portion of our country, into the 20th century? By all means, place the word "coal" on this new building, but instead of just "coal," place the words "coal miners." This would be a fitting and honorable memorial to all those who gave us so much, who did more than any other person or group to give us prosperity. This would be a memorial that all honorable people could agree upon. Ben Luntz UK Alumnus 1993

October is slowly winding down, and I don’t know of a better way to close out a great month than with Homecoming and all the events going on around campus. This is easily one of the best weeks to see what being a Wildcat is all about. Students, faculty, staff, and the entire LexingRYAN ton community have a SMITH Contributing chance to come together to celebrate our columnist university’s tradition, and it is an opportunity that should be taken advantage of. It would not be a true Homecoming week without school spirit events like the Wildcat Roar Pep Rally, where both Coach Brooks and Coach Cal will be in attendance, and the Homecoming parade on Saturday. But, that’s not what this week is all about. It’s also about reaching out to every aspect of the campus and the community to bring each individual together. From service events such as the DanceBlue/SAB 5K Run and Canstructure, to community events like the Kitty Karnival and “See Blue” Day at Keeneland, students are given the chance to meet people not only from across campus, but across Lexington as well. Every student organization has been invited to participate in the Homecoming festivities and it is great to see what makes each student and organization so proud to be a part of UK. If you haven’t been to any events yet, please get out and show your support. Big Blue Madness was a huge success two weeks ago, but if you didn’t get a chance to see it live, check out the Pep Rally. It’s the next closest event and won’t leave you disappointed. I’m going to go ahead and say that Coach Cal may have another Emmy

change, most bars will remain open. However, some bars, like Cheapside Bar and Grill, will close regardless of daylight saving time. Armstrong said trick-ortreaters and those drinking alcohol at the game should not coincide. “A lot of (children) are out because of Halloween,” Armstrong said. “It’s always a concern that if people are going to the game, but the game is pretty much after Halloween, so by the time the game lets out, Halloween is not going on anymore … It works out pretty well for us.” The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook report for the area, expecting at least one to two inches of rainfall. However, Armstrong said contingency plans are in place in case of an emergency. Monroe said he does not anticipate any problems but said patrols will stay extra vigilant. “It has been pretty calm on Halloween night around here for the last five or six years,” Monroe said.
to fewer students applying for student housing. Harris said recent construction has created about 4,000 new beds within a 10-minute walk of UK’s campus. There is no city ordinance or zoning requirement that limits how close together the apartment complexes can be built. “Each parcel that comes in has to meet various requirements,” said Chris Taylor, who works in the Division of Planning with the LexingtonFayette Urban County Government. “There’s nothing saying you can only have one apartment complex within a thousand feet of another. … We don’t have standards in our zoning ordi-

Award winning speech waiting to send chills down your back. And of course, you’ll want to make sure you are at the game on Saturday to see our team end the week right. If you haven’t heard yet, we want to “Blackout” Mississippi State this weekend when they come to town. So, grab a few blankets and hand warmers, and make sure to wear all black to the game. We are the team’s twelfth man on Saturday, and it would be great to have a sea of students decked out in black helping the team bring home a victory.
This week is packed with reasons to be proud of being a Wildcat, and I urge you to make the most of it. Speaking of victory, after a short season of preparation and campaigning, the Freshman Senator Elections wrapped up two weeks ago. All of the candidates who ran were extremely qualified this year and would have been a great representation of the freshman class and student body as a whole. There was also a great showing of student support at the elections, with a 74 percent increase in voter turnout. After the polls closed and the votes were tallied, Emily Fischer, Annie Tiu, Ethan Ritter and Mary Katherine Kington were elected to fill the four Senate positions. It is great to see that so many of you came out to vote for your representation and an amazing compliment to all the elected Senators to know that they have your support. Congratulations to the new Senators! I look forward to getting the chance to start working with each of you. Student Government also wants to ensure that we help the community, as
well as the students here at the university. So, to help do our part around Lexington, we have decided to team up with the Student Development Council and spend Friday helping to make Halloween special for some of the city’s underprivileged. SG and SDC will be volunteering at the East 7th Street School, providing pumpkin carvings, a haunted house and plenty of games for the kids. Anyone who would like to stop by and help is more than welcome to spend the afternoon with us. The Leadership Development Program has also started planning its own service project. With the help of the CCO’s organization, the members will be attending one of the local grade schools periodically to spend time with the children. From helping with homework to simply playing with the kids, LDP has decided that making a difference in a child’s life is something that is irreplaceable. I’d especially like to thank Kelsey Hayes for all the work she has done so far leading the LDP and coordinating all of their events. Your tireless efforts and passion for the program have played a huge part in helping the future leaders of our campus prepare for the years ahead by introducing them to administrators, staff and new ways of thinking, and I can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you do day in and day out. This week is packed with reasons to be proud of being a Wildcat, and I urge you to make the most of it. Whether it is going to Keeneland’s closing weekend, or cheering on our athletes at the Pep Rally, there is plenty to take in. I hope to see you at the game this Saturday, and don’t forget to “Blackout the Bulldogs” by wearing your black shirts. Ryan Smith is a political science senior and SG President.

nance that go that way.” The variety of apartment complexes — ranging from older to brand new, furnished to unfurnished — provides a fit for everyone’s different tastes, said Jennifer Butterfield, property manager at The Lex Appeal on South Broadway. “There’s a place for all of us, really,” she said. The Lex Appeal apartment complex on South Broadway is still undergoing construction. The complex currently has 118 rooms, but will have 266 rooms available by June, Butterfield said. Convenience is the main reason UK students Travis Vanort and Matt Hamilton live at Newtown Crossing. Vanort, a law student, said he saves money on parking and gas because he can easily walk to class. Hamilton, an anthropology senior
who lived in a house on Waller Avenue before moving to Newtown Crossing apartments, said the downside of living in an apartment complex is being charged with additional fees.
“There are a lot of fees, things they can get you for, like replacing your access cards and stuff like that,” Hamilton said. “They really want your money, there’s no doubt about it.”
that included speakers, resume workshops, mock interviews, an etiquette dinner and a business-attire fashion show. “His idea of Professionapalooza has sparked a new excitement throughout many chapters about the importance of professionalism,” Marr said. “Many chapters, including alumni chapters, have put on or plan to create their own Professionapalooza events, modeled after Jake’s original idea.” Besides the individual honors, UK’s chapter, Omicron Psi, and four other chapters were awarded First
Place Fraternity Standing. The award is based on how many “points” the chapter gains throughout the year for participating in various activities and events. The fraternity was also nominated for International Chapter of the Year. Each semester, Alpha Kappa Psi hosts at least six professional speakers who talk to members about business skills, but business is not the only focus of the fraternity. Members also participate in several service events including Ronald McDonald House dinners and bingo at local nursing homes.
Marr said the fraternity encourages academic and career success by rewarding members for good grades and honors, and by distributing members’ resumes to local businesses. “Our members also gain a sense of brotherhood within the local chapter and nationwide by growing and learning with other members,” she said. Metz added that Alpha Kappa Psi has a good balance between professionalism and fun. “You get the professionalism aspect and then you get all the fun and sense of brotherhood, too,” he said.

Offensive lineman Stuart Hines, seen here against LouisianaMonroe on Saturday, not only enjoys disc golf, but also enjoyed his Finance 300 class. Hines, a sophomore, is the only starter on the offensive line who isn’t a senior. PHOTO BY ADAM WOLFFBRANDT STAFF

Q&A with Stuart Hines Lineman Hines paves way on inside By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Q. You’re the only sophomore starting on the offensive line,
and the other four guys are all seniors. Do the rest of the guys ever joke around with you about that?
A. Not really. You know, I’m a sophomore, but I’ve been here three years. So, I’ve been around the guys a lot and they’re used to me being around.
Q. What’s your role on the offensive line, then? Zipp Duncan is a captain, but are you one of the leaders there, too?
A. I definitely try to be a leader now when I can. We all try
to be leaders, really. I feel like next year I’m going to have to step it up a notch, and the year after that, I’m going to have to step it up a notch again.
Q. Who’s the toughest guy you’ve ever had to block? Going all the way back to high school, anybody you can think of?
A. The toughest guy to move off the ball is (350-pound Alabama nose tackle) Terrence Cody, for sure. He’s just so much weight. There are guys who are more shifty and have better moves, but as far as pushing him off the ball, he’s probably the hardest.
Q. Why’d you pick UK? A. Well, I’m from Kentucky. So, that played a little factor in to it. I wanted to stay close to home but wanted to get away too. It’s a good school, it’s a fun school, and when I came up here, I just really liked it.
Q. Who’s the slowest guy on the team? A. The slowest guy on the team has to be (senior guard) Dustin Luck.
Q.: I asked Alfonso who the fastest guy was. So, I had to ask you who the slowest one is.
A. Then I change my answer to Alfonso Smith (laughs). No, I’m just kidding.
Q. What’s something about you that people would kind of be surprised to know?
A. Something people would be surprised to know ... I like to play disc golf.
Q. Really? What got you into that? A. I’m from Bowling Green, and it’s pretty big there. A lot of my friends did it; so, I started playing with them.
Q. What’s your favorite class? A. My favorite class — it’s going to make me kind of sound like a nerd — but I like Finance 300. I enjoyed it. I don’t know why. It was just really interesting to me. I don’t like my finance classes now, but I liked that one.
