KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
SG plans late-night driving service By Becca Clemons news@kykernel.com
When the last notebook has been closed for the school day, UK students look forward to what campus and Lexington nightlife have to offer. But, an obstacle greets eager socialites on- and offcampus—a lack of safe, reliable transportation. There is hope in sight The UK Student Govern-
ment is planning a late-night driving service aimed at providing on- and off-campus students free, safe transportation to and from downtown Lexington and UK campus locations, said Max Stefka, SG deputy chief of staff and finance and marketing senior. Four routes will run from major off-campus housing sites in the area as well as the North and South Campus neighborhoods on UK’s cam-
pus from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday evening, Stefka said. The routes will be serviced by 17-passenger cutaway vans, which are small enough to navigate neighborhood streets and turn tight corners, Stefka said. The vans will stop at each location in 20minute intervals. The vehicles are also handicap accessible. Currently, late-night student transportation is limited
Fire Safety events held for students
to cab services, rides from friends or on-campus only service from Parking and Transportation Services, Stefka said. He added that all but one of UK’s benchmark institutions offer a similar service, including schools like Auburn University, University of Florida and Louisiana State University. This service will offer students many benefits including safety, SG President
Ryan Smith said. “We looked at the number of safety-related incidents on campus, such as DUI and assaults,” Smith said, “and saw this as a program that would reduce the number of those incidents because we’re offering transportation during high risk times for students at times when DUI and assaults increase dramatically.” These numbers have been reduced at other schools with
this driving program, Smith said. The University of Kentucky Police Department reported 36 assaults, 215 counts of driving under the influence and 213 alcohol intoxication charges in 2008. Stefka said the program aims to save lives, decrease these kinds of incidents and add a friendly and convenient service all See DRIVING on page 2

UK students can learn about fire safety every Wednesday in September during events held as a part of Campus Fire Safety Month. The events will include a fire engine, fire extinguisher training, a smoke tent, emergency management information, a canopy with free tshirts and a memorial display. This weekly gathering will give the Lexington Fire Department an opportunity to connect with the students in a relaxed and engaging environment. According to the UK Office of Fire Marshal schedule, events will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. staring at the New North residence hall Wednesday. Later events will be at the Commons Complex on Sept. 8, the Main Building on Sept. 15, the Good Samaritan Hospital on Sept. 22 and the Chandler Hospital on Sept. 29. “College fire officials throughout the state strive every day to educate our students, faculty and staff about the dangers of a fire situation and fire prevention,” UK Fire Marshal Greg Williamson said. “Campus Fire Safety Month gives every fire official the forum in which to spread the message of ‘Get Out and Stay Alive’.” Justin Palmer, a sophomore English major and resident adviser in Holmes Hall, echoed the importance of fire safety, “Fire safety means saving lives,” Palmer said, “The lives of my residents are very important to me.” Holmes Hall has already handled an evacuation this year, when the fire alarm sounded on move-in day for underclassmen. Mechanical engineering sophomore Ben Horn said students should take fire safety seriously. “This is a great learning opportunity and you get a free t-shirt,” Williamson said. “We hope everyone comes out and uses the tools we have available.”

Before having ever played a down in Division I football, junior safety Mychal Bailey was already an Internet sensation. Bailey is just one of many Cats in recent years to make his way to campus via LaGrange (Ga.) High School. During a game in his senior year of high school, Bailey won a bet against former high school teammate and current UK teammate Qua Huzzie for the hardest hit down the field. The result of the bet was the “LaGrange Hard Hits” YouTube
video—one with more than 53,000 views—that shows Bailey delivering a literally spleen-rupturing hit to an opposing player. “I saw the dude running and trying to tackle my guy, so right when I saw him, I ran full-speed to try and make a big hit and that’s what I ended up doing,” Bailey said of the video that has helped solidify his reputation as a hard-hitter. “I didn’t realize it was going to be that big of a hit.” Having originally signed with UK in 2007, Bailey has spent the past two years at See FOOTBALL on page 2
Library hours shortened By Katie Perkowski kperkowski@kykernel.com
Students looking to pull early semester all-nighters at W.T. Young Library, will have to wait a couple weeks. Young Library hours will be shortened until Sunday, Sept. 12, because the library staff needs time to train and hire more employees, said Stacey Greenwell, associate dean for Academic Affairs and Research. Greenwell said during the first two weeks the library does not have a full complement ready for extended hours.
The Young Library’s hours until Sept. 12 are as follows: Aug. 30 - Sept. 2: 7:30 a.m. - midnight Sept. 3: 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Sept. 4: 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Sept. 5: Noon - 8:00 p.m. Sept. 6 (Labor Day): Noon - midnight Sept. 7 - 9: 7:30 a.m. - midnight Sept. 10: 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Sept. 11: 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. The hours after Sept. 12 will be as follows: Sundays: Open at noon Mondays - Thursdays: Open 24 hours Fridays: Close at 8:00 p.m. Saturdays: 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. On holidays, exceptions exist.

Deadline for K Lot passes approaching By Brian Shlonsky bshlonsky@kykernel.com
The deadline for students to obtain parking permits for the K Lot located at Commonwealth Stadium has been extended to Monday, Sept. 13. The K Lot permit, which costs $248 for the 2010-2011 academic year, is available for walk-in customers at the UK Parking and Transportation Services main office, located at 721 Press Ave.
Evening-controlled areas will require permits beginning Wednesday, Sept. 8, and the cost of these permits is $120 for the 2010-2011 academic year. According to PTS’ website, students that meet the eligibility criteria and desire permits that are no longer available may submit a lottery request online through the Parking Account Manager on the PTS website.

Parking spaces blocked for volleyball match By Brian Shlonsky bshlonsky@kykernel.com
Due to UK’s televised volleyball matchup Wednesday with the University of Louisville, 14 parking spaces in Memorial Coliseum’s E lot will be blocked off.
The 14 spaces are located in the row closest to the Joe Craft Center. According to UK’s Parking and Transportation website, employees who normally park in the Coliseum’s E lot should plan accordingly by allowing extra time for their commute.

students can utilize. “Safety is the biggest issue,” biology and pre-medicine freshman Josh Jones said. “Some places just aren’t as well-lit as others, and I would feel a lot safer with someone driving me around.” Jones said he currently walks everywhere but would use this service. “[The service] can also get you better acquainted with the city of Lexington,” Jones said. “It’s going to give students that live off campus the ability to come to campus when they normally might not,” Smith said. “It will allow students the ability to get home at night for free without having to walk home or take a cab, or get home in an unsafe environment.” Smith said there have been incidences over the years where students have been killed or injured in similar situations, and he hopes that this program can prevent that. Stefka said the SGA has collaborated with the UK’s administration and LexTran on the project. “It’s been a really cool experience to see that kind of administrative support for a student-run program,” Stefka said. LexTran provides drivers and maintenance for the program, but the SGA has complete control over the routes and stops, Smith said. The driving service will launch Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. The SGA is working on marketing the program until then, finalizing details and getting the word out to students, Stefka said. “We just want to serve students the best way we can,” Stefka said.
Southwest Mississippi Community College in an effort to become academically eligible. Bailey passed his summer classes and since then, he has been impressing coaches and teammates for more than just his big hits. Bailey was rewarded for his efforts during fall camp when UK head coach Joker Phillips released the team depth chart Monday and his name was atop the list of free safeties. In practice, Phillips has used Bailey as a kickoff and punt returner, a role he relished in both his high school and junior college days. He is currently listed as the backup punt returner. Phillips said he expects Bailey to play all the time on special teams coverage. So far, the hardest part of the transition from junior college hasn’t been related to the physical side of his game, but the mental component, Bailey said. “The hardest part has just been learning all the plays because I’m going to go out there and play my heart out, regardless,” said Bailey, who memorized most of the playbook in a week-and-a-half, but said that “it’s still extending.” Elsewhere in the second-

New Dancing with the Stars Cast LOS ANGELES It didn't seem possible that "Dancing With the Stars" could outdo itself in the casting department. After last season's winning combination of Kate Gosselin, Shannen Doherty and Pamela Anderson, senior producer and head of casting Deena Katz decided she had two choices: retire or up her game. Katz opted to challenge herself and wound up with a Season 11 cast that is bound to get the whole country on its feet. Seriously, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino ("Jersey Shore") is going to cha cha cha and compete against singer Michael Bolton, Kyle Massey ("Cory in the House"), recently retired NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, retired basketball player Rick Fox and David Hasselhoff? The women competing for the coveted mirror ball trophy are: Jennifer Grey (yes, Baby from "Dirty Dancing"), singer Brandy, "Brady
Bunch" mom Florence Henderson, comedian Margaret Cho and Bristol Palin. "It's like putting together the most bizarre and yet entertaining kind of dinner party," Katz said of the casting process. "I make a jigsaw puzzle of including something for everybody." This cast, said Katz, is her "dream team." Since the show launched in 2005, she said she's been "stalking" Hasselhoff and Grey to be a part of it every season. But they both had prior commitments and reservations about joining. "It takes a big leap to do the show, and I get that people have fear and they have commitments," Katz said. "What you don't realize is that besides the 10 weeks of the show, there are three or four weeks of rehearsal time.” Although the entire cast is made up of people that Katz said she approached, these days producers are
bombarded with requests from interested celebrities. It wasn't always that way. "Calling people before we were on the air in Season 1 and saying, 'We're going to do a live ballroom dance show with celebrities,' you could hear the clicks of the phone," Katz said. Now, people are more open to it, even those Katz thought were longshots, like Sarah Palin's 19-year-old daughter, Bristol. "You ask and you never know," she said. "I can tell you this, she's the only one that when I asked her to join the show, she packed up her truck and drove all the way from Alaska. I always try to have people you'd never expect ... And this season, some of the names make you chuckle, others you're surprised about, and others you think you know, but you're going to see them in a different light." MCT

ary, junior Winston Guy is a returning starter and will slide over to strong safety following Calvin Harrison’s graduation. Another one of Bailey’s exLaGrange teammates, junior Randall Burden, is a returning starter at cornerback. Burden has assumed the role of top cornerback following the graduation of Trevard Lindley, while sophomore Martavius Neloms, who was pressed into duty as a true freshman last year, will line up opposite him as the other starting corner. But speedy freshman cornerback Jerrell Priester is pushing Neloms for more playing time. “The thing about (Priester) is he's one of those guys that is not very big, but he's very aggressive and he runs well,” Phillips said. “He has great vertical, which you have to have if you're a small guy at the corner position. He got a lot of reps when some of our older corners were down… He'll be an impact before this year is over also.” As nice it may be to have a potential shutdown corner, Phillips has stated the key to not only a successful secondary, but a successful defense. “I keep harping, the difference between an average and a great defense is a safety spot, and we know Mychal Bailey is a great tackler,” Phillips said. “He's one of those YouTube heroes that knows how to run into people.”

Cats go ‘4’ record in rivalry game By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
Sandwiched between the 1976 Peach Bowl and the 2009 Liberty Bowl in the glass trophy case in the lobby of the Nutter Training Facility sits the Governor’s Cup. For UK’s 13 seniors, they’ve become accustomed to seeing the 110-pound trophy on a consistent basis. “Yeah we got to keep that in there, I was just looking at it the other day,” senior defensive end DeQuin Evans said. “It’d be huge for the senior class to know that if we beat them they can go on the rest their lives saying,
‘We never lost to Louisville.’” UK is trying to retain the Governor’s Cup for the fourth consecutive year for the first time in the modern history of the rivalry, which resumed in 1994. U of L had a streak of four straight victories from 2003-2006, the span of Bobby Petrino’s reign as head coach of the Cardinals. “I go look at it every day; It’s right there, nice and shiny,” said fifth-year senior defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin, who didn’t see the field during U of L’s 59-28 win in 2006 because he was redshirting. “I’d love to have it there
for the next couple of years even when I’m gone, it’s a pride thing because you come here for that game…you don’t come here to see a blank, empty spot. You can have all the bowl trophies, but this is the first game of the season, this is our big rivalry, you beat them and you have bragging rights.” For one UK senior, a win at Papa John’s Stadium on Saturday would make even more Governor’s Cup history. Mike Hartline is aiming to become the first quarterback to win three games as a starter in the modern history of this rivalry. He is already
in elite company, as only three other starting quarterbacks in the modern history of the series have undefeated records; UK’s Tim Couch was 2-0 while former Cardinals Stefan LeFors and Jason Payne were 2-0 and 1-0, respectively. Hartline said that the personal record would only matter after the game, but that his prior experience starting on the road in this rivalry should serve him well. “We’ve been over there, we know what the atmosphere is like, we know it’s FILE PHOTO BY ZACH BRAKE | STAFF big,” Hartline said. “It’s not Semior wide receiver Randall Cobb scores touchdown in game See RECORD on page 5 against Auburn University.

Soccer ready for season By Brandon Thomas sports@kykernel.com
The UK men’s soccer team has its eyes on the prize. After finishing a series of preseason exhibition matches, UK moves toward the regular season with their eyes set on a Conference USA championship and a bid at the national championship. Solid overall performances in all three of the exhibition games leave the team with anticipation for the upcoming season. But the Cats will need to have on-field leadership from the veteran guys to step up and help out along the ride. “The fans are definitely going to enjoy watching this group of athletes,” UK head coach Ian Collins said. “They
have been working hard all summer and it will show his season. They have a real belief in their ability. I like what we have here.” The men’s soccer team will have plenty of upper class leadership on the team as it begins this season. The Cats have a host of seniors and juniors on the roster for the upcoming soccer season as well as many sophomores who have game experience from last year. Defenseman and captain Brad Walker brings experience and leadership to the team for 2010 after starting every game last season. The Cats will also look toward their new keeper Tyler

Trying to handicap the preseason Heisman Trophy field: —Terrelle Pryor, Jr. QB, Ohio State (5-1): He seems to be everyone's favorite. Makes a lot of highlight reels, might need to get Buckeyes into national-title game. —Mark Ingram, Jr. RB, Alabama (7-1): Won last year, but he might have to put up even better numbers than a year ago. Crimson Tide's offense Ingram should be the team's strength this time. —Kellen Moore, Jr. QB, Boise State (10-1): Nobody has won from non-BCS school in two decades. But if Broncos can run the table, he figures to get tons of good pub. —Ryan Mallett, Jr. QB, Arkansas (12-1): He should get the stats, but probably has to avoid too many losses on a tough schedule. —Jake Locker, Sr. QB, Washington (15-1): Might be first pick in NFL draft, but he must lead the Huskies to at least nine wins to have a realistic
shot. That's just the way this thing usually shakes out. —Case Keenum, Sr. QB, Houston (18-1): He'll have the stats. But Cougars need to win a bunch, particularly when they play outside of Conference USA. —Andy Dalton, Sr. QB, Texas Christian (20-1): Like Moore, his chances become more viable the longer the Horned Frogs remain unbeaten. —Dion Lewis, So. RB, Pittsburgh (25-1): Panthers are favored in Big East, and second-year guys have struck the pose each of the last three Decembers. —Noel Devine, Sr. RB, West Virginia (30-1): He's as explosive as they get, but it it would obviously help if Mountaineers can crack the Top 10. —LeMichael James, So. RB, Oregon (35-1): Ducks figure to score early and often. If they can work their way into national-title contention, he could work his way into the finalist conversation. —Five others worth pondering: Julio Jones, Jr. WR, Alabama; Matt Barkley, So.

A common way to meet new people on campus is to get involved. On Thursday, Sept. 2 the Student Activities Board is hosting an event titled “Mr. and Ms. Eligible.” “My friends were asking me what the best way to meet guys in college is and I watch “The Bachelor” so I was thinking it would be funny to play off that
show. That’s how I thought of the idea,” SAB Director of Pop Culture Chelsea Melchor said. “Mr. and Ms. Eligible” is loosely based off of MTV’s “Singled Out.” Melchor said there was an event similar to this in the past but it was not hosted by the SAB and it was not set up this way. There will be one bachelor and 15 girls in a dating pool. The girls cannot see the bachelor and
likewise, the guy cannot see the girls. The contestants will be asked time-tested compatibility questions. Girls will be eliminated throughout three rounds. However, the bachelor does not have complete control over who gets eliminated given that he cannot physically see the girls. “This would be a great way for people to get involved around campus.

Buster’s hosts Billiards tourny By Alison Carson acarson@kykernel.com
Those looking to have a great time this Thursday night can do so—while also supporting a good cause. Buster’s Billiards and Backroom will be hosting a “Honky Tonk Good Time,” an event being put on by Team Anderson, in an effort to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The event, which is country western themed, will include a
pool tournament with a first and second place cash prize. “I’m expecting about a hundred people” said Deborah Anderson, who’s heading up the event. “My goal is to raise at least $1,000.” The pool tournament costs $20 to register and all of the proceeds go directly to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. “It’s great because the money raised goes towards research and straight to the people dealing with these diseases” Anderson said.
For those not interested in registering in the tournament, there is free admission with donations being taken at the door. Those who give a donation of five dollars or more are given a raffle ticket and prizes consist of gift cards and merchandise. T-shirts and beer cozies donated by Big Blue Lex will also be sold to raise money. Betsy Hamilton, a volunteer with Team Anderson expects a good turnout. “It’s going to be a fun night with the Honky Tonk theme,”
said Anderson. “We encourage people to dress up and even line dance. Plus, we have a great country band, Long Black Train, that will accompany it.” You must be at least 21 to attend and those interested in playing in the pool tournament can do so by e-mailing danderson0317@yahoo.com. Honky Tonk Good Time will be held at Busters Billiards and Backroom tonight. The tournament will begin at 7 p.m.
I’m going to need some of you freshmen to flunk out of college. Please realize that your dreams are foolish, your parents will always be disappointed in you and leave as soon as possible. It’s just that I’m finding it terribly difficult to find prime parking spaces and I’m not fond of this surge in the population on campus. I hope you understand. It’s not
me, it’s you. Naturally, I’m more accustomed to the wide-openness found in Canada. My home and native land is the second-largest country in the world by total area, but only boasts a population of a little more than 34 million; although a sizable percentage of these 34 million Canadians live fairly close to the U.S. border. You’re probably exclaiming, “Gotcha, Canadian! This is proof that your own people are so infatuated with life on the other side of the border that they must live near it.” First, stop yelling. Secondly, consider that just as some Americans like to have a view of Russia from their house, many Canadians like to have a view of the U.S. from their homes. Also consider that the interior of Canada, known as the Canadian Shield, has an impressive supply of mineral ores embedded in the earth’s crust, but a rather dull night life. I don’t care how many sacks of cobalt you can offer someone, they’ll want to live close to the border so they can cross it and shop at Target. Comparatively, the U.S. population stands at about 310 million. That’s almost 10 times as many people and thus, 10 times as many freshmen. A bold conclusion, yes. With fewer freshmen, there are plenty of parking spaces available in Canada, but seeing as Canadians only travel by dogsled, these spaces are only intended for visitors (with the proper permits). In fact, the closest Canada has come to experiencing overpopulation is thanks to the Canada Goose. Although these birds bear the namesake of Canada, they are generally regarded as one of the lamest creatures to be associated with the country. Even pigeons have more of what freshmen call “street cred.” In recent years, many Canada Geese have simply migrated further south (often those with connections to the tri-state area). Remaining Canada Geese that were deemed excessive were hunted and served to the homeless. Canada Geese: It’s what’s for dinner. Now, I’m not willing to explore the latter option with freshmen. That’s obviously ridiculous. We all know that first-year college students need lots of seasoning to pass as an acceptable entree. Even with seasoning, an au jus sauce or a light gravy would probably also be required— one mustn’t serve meat dry—but who has the time for preparing all that after a hard day at the office? Rachel Ray says my meals should only take 30 minutes. And I have to trust what she says! So, I don’t care where you soon-to-be college dropouts go once you leave this campus (my guess is your disappointed parents’ basement), as long as you don’t clog Canada.

Couple the soft non-conference schedule with a favorable Southeastern Conference slate of games, and UK’s players and coaching staff knows that taking care of business could lead to more trophies in the glass case. “If either team is going to have a great year, it's important to get this one,” UK head coach Joker Phillips said. “I would say momentum is the biggest thing that's come out of this game here. It's important for both teams involved that you leave this game with momentum to carry you through the rest of the season; I don't think either team can have a great year without this because I think we both need the momentum.”

OPINIONS
Muslim student embraces identity, shares views on tolerance My heart and mind know hate cannot carry a society. Only love can. Intense hate and fear is now spreading like wildfire from coast to coast, sparked by plans for a Muslim community center near Ground Zero. It is burning the fences between neighbors and tearing down the very basic right of people to have freedom of thought and belief. As a Muslim who proudly wears a hijab, or headcovering, I have never been able to hide my identity to the world. I have never wanted to. I have never stayed up at night wondering
if I will be accepted for who I am because I’m outwardly Muslim, or ever doubted that I was safe walking the streets of my own community. I have experienced love, kindness and warmth from my fellow neighbors and community growing up in Lexington. The widely recognized term “Islamopobia” has swept the country and is all over news stations. It was epitomized by this week’s attack of a Muslim cab driver who suffered life-threatening injuries after a white passenger slashed his neck. It was a heinous crime where sadly, if it
were reversed and a Muslim slashing a white driver’s neck, would have brought far more cries of outrage. Phobias should be about terrible people and things, such as intoxicated people who attack innocent civilians. Personally, when I think about a phobia, what comes to mind is a fear of spiders, heights or social situations. Never have I associated phobia with ostracizing a group of 1.2 billion people in its entirety. Can you imagine the phrase “Christianophobia” or “Bhuddismophobia?” The term attached to an entire religion is absurd.
Phobias are never based on logic but a part of us humans that is provoked by anxiety, misinformation, fear and, in this case, hate. To me, this is the most dangerous foe of all. History shows what happens when hate, not hope, is in our hearts. And the present news cycle reflects hate crimes against Muslims, including vandalizing mosques, the organization of a “Quran burning day” and urinating on prayer rugs. Where does it stop? Instead of moving forward with civil rights, are we going to take giant leaps back into segregation and degradation? I am fighting this
feeling of dread that is slowly trying to creep its way in. I do not want to fall victim to the abhorrent actions displayed by groups across the country. I have to have faith just as I don’t want my religion of Islam to be judged by the extremist few, I cannot judge and condemn my fellow Americans for the same reason. These are my pleas to you: fight ignorance with knowledge. Fight irrationality with facts. Fight apathy with compassion. Fight hate with love. Fatimah Shalash is a Graduate Student.
