KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
UK Unforgettable runs for Lt. Governor By Patrick Sullivan psullivan@kykernel.com
While UK basketball favorite Richie Farmer had terrific range on the court, he now hopes to expand that range beyond hardwood. Farmer, a member of UK’s “Unforgettables,” announced Wednesday in Frankfort that he is running as Lt. Governor in Republican senate president David Williams’ 2011 gubernatorial campaign. “Because of what Kentucky has done for me, I feel I must give back through public service,” Farmer said. “I am proud of my service
and feel strongly that I have even more to offer people of Kentucky.” A Manchester, Ky. native, Farmer played shooting guard for the University of Kentucky from 1988 to 1992, where he posted career averages of 7.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Farmer and teammates Deron Feldhaus, Sean Woods and John Pelphrey were known as “the Unforgettables.” UK retired his No. 32 in 1992. Farmer received a Bachelor of Science with a double major in agricultural economics and agribusiness manage-
ment. Eleven years after his UK basketball career ended, Kentucky elected him Commissioner of Agriculture in 2003. He was re-elected to another four-year term in 2007. Despite spending seven years in state government, some are skeptical of his experience, but Farmer said he will be prepared when the election arrives. “You can always learn more about state government,” he said. “My record as commissioner speaks for its self though.” Williams defended his running mate, saying that
Government official talks specialization
Farmer is a unique politician who has tremendous ability and potential. “Not every athlete at UK receives a double major,” Williams said. “I hope everybody underestimates him because he’s always been underestimated.” Born in Burksville, David Williams has served in the General Assembly since 1985. His first two years were in the House, then he entered the Senate in 1987. He has been Senate president since January 2000 after Republicans gained a majority in that chamber for the first

HEATING IT UP
By Taylor Moak tmoak@kykernel.com
A question and answer session with someone high in the U.S. government is not the everyday occurrence for college students. But, several UK students got that opportunity Wednesday when Suresh Kumar came to campus. After a short opening address, Kumar, Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Director General of the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service, gave students time to ask him questions about the global marketplace and international jobs. In order to get jobs in the international marketplace, Kumar encouraged students to specialize their tasks and abilities and to focus on the regions where they want to work. “The reality of today’s world, though, is specialization,” Kumar said. Carey Cavanaugh, director of the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, said he wanted Kumar’s visit to be a “give and take” session for the students. “The nice thing was that it wasn’t a speech,” Cavanaugh said. Cavanaugh said the crowd was made up of Patterson School students, law students, business students and other undergraduates. Leo Weisberger, political science junior, was one of those other undergraduates. See SPEAKER on page 2
Yellow bikes keep students rolling By Mazie Purcell news@kykernel.com
For students famous for running late to class, there is only one thing to say: stop running, and start cycling. Wildcat Wheels, a student run organization that operates solely on grants and loans, rents out bikes and locks to all students and faculty for free as part of the "Yellow Bike Program." In addition to loaning bikes, Wildcat Wheels has a fully workable shop employing five mechanics, two interns and numerous volunteers where students can bring in personal bikes that need fixing and receive help and advice. “We are mostly about education, and our main focus is different from regular bike shops," Scott Beckmeyer, manager of Wildcat See WHEELS on page 2 First issue free.

Freshmen Jessica Potts and Kate Gaston experience the smoke tent on North Campus Wednesday afternoon as a part of National Fire Safety Month.
Campus fire safety ignites September By Brian Hancock news@kykernel.com
September is Campus Fire Safety Month, and UK is doing its part. Numerous stations were set up outside the New North dormitory yesterday in order to teach students more about fire safety, giving students free tee shirts from campus and city fire representatives. The goal of the event was “to increase the awareness of fire safety around campus,” UK Assistant Fire Marshal Jason Ellis said. A faux smoke house was present nearby, which simulated real conditions in the case of an actual fire. “We’re trying to teach people what it’s actually like in a smoke-filled environment,
“
and how to get out of it,” Antoine Tribble of the Lexington Fire Department said. A digital fire extinguisher training exercise was also on hand, as students were able to aim a fake extinguisher at a screen to put out a simulated fire. “This teaches students how to put out a fire correctly,” said Ellis. “A laser hits the screen, and if you don’t shoot at the base of the fire, it won’t go out.” In addition to these exercises, Ellis had more information to offer students. “A fire doubles in size every 30 seconds,” Ellis said. “Last year there were rumors that if you lived above the eighth floor in one of the towers, you were out of luck in the event of a fire. That is simply not true.”
Ellis also advised students to stay clear of smoke filled hallways and stairwells. “If you have to pass through smoke to get out of the building, go back to your room and call 911,” Ellis said. “Most times it’s the smoke that kills you, not the fire.” Some students came away from the event more prepared in the case of an emergency. “I learned some interesting things today,” business sophomore Taylor Blair said. “I realized I was actually quite naïve when it came to fire safety.” Yesterday’s event was the first of five to occur around campus every Wednesday of this month. Next week’s happening will be held at the Commons Complex from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I learned some interesting things today. I realized I was actually quite naive when it came to fire safety. — Taylor Blair, Sophomore

WHEELS Continued from page 1 Wheels said. "First off, we don’t sell anything, and secondly, we teach how to fix problems.” Since it began in 2004, Wildcat Wheels has continued to grow, improve and reevaluate their program. Previously, they were limited by being in one place all the time, said Beckmeyer, but to solve this problem, the program has created a mobile bike shop that will come to dorm lobbies to teach students on Tuesday nights. Starting Sept. 9, the program will offer bi-weekly clinics that provide students
with the opportunity to learn how to repair bikes. Students will be taught skills from fixing the breaks to installing a headset. “We are reworking how the shop is run to give us a better opportunity to teach and make it more fluid,” Rick Wagner, the designer and workshop teacher said. “Every bike means one car off the road and fewer gallons being burned.” Wagner said his goal is to gain one bike rider at each workshop, which will be held every other Thursday from 56 p.m. in the basement of Blazer Hall. “The workshops are made possible by a grant from the Paula Nye Memorial Bicy-
clist and Pedestrian Education Grant.," Beckmeyer said. "The Paula Nye Grant program is administered by the Kentucky Bicycle and Bikeway Commission and is funded entirely by citizen contributions made by purchasing Kentucky’s ‘Share the Road’ specialty license plate.” Beckmeyer is confident that the benefits of cycling will draw more UK students to ride. “The bicycle is the most versatile form of transportation on UK’s campus," Beckmeyer said. "They are cleaner, cheaper, healthier and faster. This will be a good year for Wildcat Wheels.” For more information visit www.wildcatwheel.org.
FARMER Continued from page 1 time in history. After much experience in state government, Williams believes the state is adrift and in need of a positive agenda centered around jobs. “That will move this state forward and put us in competition with the other states,” Williams said. “Especially those states in the south that have been far more successful than we have been in creating jobs and making prosperity happen.” Despite confidence in Farmer, the Williams-Farmer campaign faces skepticism. Democratic politicial professional Dale Emmons said he believes Williams, a UK graduate, put Farmer on his ticket for his name, not his

legislative prowess. “Richie Farmer is a bona fide celebrity,” he said. “He has earned measured loyalty from all of Kentucky. People know his name.” Emmons said that Farmer’s personality differs greatly from Williams’. He described Williams’ leadership style as combative and confrontational, but said Farmer’s charismatic attitude and basketball pedigree may mask Williams’ behavior. “He put Farmer on his ticket to give his campaign viability,” Emmons said. “David Williams wants to distract the discussion from him.” John David Dyche, a columnist for The CourierJournal in Louisville, had more confidence in the campaign. “It’s a solid ticket,” he said. “Williams is skilled
politician and Farmer is a proven vote-getter.” Dyche said that Farmer’s stardom will attract many votes, but that is not his only contribution to the campaign. Williams put Farmer on the ticket to get votes and clean up Kentucky, Dyche said. To get more than just UK Basketball fan votes, Farmer will have to demonstrate what he can do in office, UK journalism professor Al Cross said. “He’ll have to prove a modicum of knowledge to win this,” Cross said. Like Dyche and Emmon, Cross said that Farmer will attract many votes thanks to his glory days at UK. “Kentuckians like to be represented by someone who they are proud of,” Cross said. “Richie Farmer is a Kentucky icon. His pedigree is mythical.”

New film can’t find identity "Going the Distance" wants to be a chick flick. It also wants to be a Judd Apatow comedy. This makes for an uneasy hybrid a relationship movie in which the fbomb gets dropped about once a minute and the screen is dotted with bare derrieres (male). Romance and raunch can cohabit peacefully Apatow did it in "Knocked Up" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" but it's harder than it looks. Here director Nanette Burstein struggles to make it seem effortless. She's not helped by Geoff LaTulippe's screenplay, which delivers some funny scenes but hasn't a clue about how to resolve the situation it sets up. Record label agent Garrett (Justin Long) and aspiring newspaper reporter Erin (Drew Barrymore) meet
cute in a New York watering hole (he interrupts her sure-to-be-a-record game of Centipede), fall into bed and into each other's lives. They agree to make this just a summer fling Erin's internship at a Manhattan daily soon will end, and she'll be going back to Stanford for graduate work (paying newspaper jobs being few and far between). But you can't stop love. "Going the Distance" is about keeping the flame alive when you're 2,500 miles apart. Late-night phone calls, e-mails, a disastrous attempt at phone sex ... nothing is as good as actually being in the presence of your beloved. If only Erin could get a full-time job on a Big Apple newspaper. Barrymore and Long (a real-life on-and-off-again item) make for extremely likable screen presences and
are deft comic actors. Of course, each gets the obligatory sidekick. For Erin it's her married, uptight, germophobic big sister (Christina Applegate); for Garrett it's a couple of Apatow-ish guy pals, one a sardonic realist played by Jason Sudeikis, the other an out-of-it roommate played by Charlie Day ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") whose main thrill is providing musical accompaniment to Garrett and Erin's lovemaking. "Distance" starts strong, but once our lovers are on opposite coasts it quickly loses momentum. There's a dab of sweetness here, but not much real drama. It's hard to get too worked up when your protagonists are being kept apart by a slow job market.

Haven’s Heaven: Saving an Art form Amanda Powell features@kykernel.com
Robert Haven’s office is not the typical place you would visit for office hours. It’s crammed into a room full of tables covered in sewing machines, irons, fabrics and accessories. The help Haven offers student vistiors doesn’t come in the form of working out an equation. Haven helps by teaching a student how to get the thread off their sewing machine or showing them how to traditionally embroider and embellish fabric. Haven is the costume technician for UK’s Theatre Department. He says he is a costume technician, not to be confused with a costume designer. “I don’t draw pretty pictures. I make the clothes to fit the actors that look like the pictures. It’s not an uncommon misconception,” Haven said. He describes his role in the Theatre Department as “the middle person between the designer’s and director’s idea of what the clothes should look like, and actually getting them on the actors and making them come alive.” Haven’s professional resume includes four certificate courses at the Royal School of Needlework and a professional course at Lesage , which he described as “a preeminent couture embroidery house in Paris.” But these kinds of opportunities do not come without more modest experience. Haven taught the eighth grade for 16 years in New Hampshire. While there, he got involved in school plays. There was no one to make costumes for the students so he taught himself how to sew. “I looked at my mother’s 1981 Singer sewing machine and said, ‘All right machine, we’re gonna do this,’” Haven
said. He then went to Emerson College to get his graduate degree in school and community theatre. He ran a children’s theatre until he decided he wanted to become more involved with costuming. He earned his Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Delaware in costume construction and costume shop management. Haven’s primary research was in Kabuki costume, articles such as kimonos and hakama that are more easily recognized as what Mulan would wear. Haven said Kabuki costume construction interested him because “it’s not written down in English or Japanese. It’s handed down from one generation to the next within certain families that make the costumes for Kabuki actors.” Currently, Haven said his thrust is embroidery. “You get into a rhythm with it and it’s very relaxing. I actually have to force myself to stop.” Haven has been teaching embroidery and embellishment for several years, but says he seems to be the only one teaching these techniques. This September, two of his students from the Academy of Art University will be showcasing their work.
One, Maria Korovilas, will have her collection in New York Fashion Week. Another student will show her work in the World of WearableArt (WOW) in New Zealand, a display with which Haven is familiar. Haven said his favorite piece he ever created was the one that was selected for WOW in 2007. He described the show as “a two hour extravaganza of glitz and fireworks and godknows-what on stage.” Despite his accomplishments, Haven still gives credit to not only his students, but also to the people who help out in his workroom. “We had one kid who worked for us the whole year last year, and he is actually an accounting major,” Haven said. “He worked on every single piece that was in ‘A Doll’s House’ and he cut out all of the pajama bottoms for ‘The Pajama Game,’ then my costume construction class put them together.” To Haven, fashion is at least partially about learning: “You can’t help but learn something when you come in here.”

Rivlary reversal for upperclassmen By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
When players like Stuart Hines and Jacob Dufrene arrived on campus four years ago, there were plenty of losing streaks facing the UK football program that they wanted to break. Among the biggest was a four-game losing streak to archrival Louisville. When Hines, a redshirt junior guard, and Dufrene, a senior linebacker, began their UK careers, many of the team’s seniors didn’t know what it was like to beat Louisville. Three years later, most of the veterans don’t know what it’s like to lose to the Cardinals. After losing to Louisville in each meeting from 200306, the Cats turned the streakt around by upsetting the then No. 9 ranked Cardinals 40-34 in 2007. Since then, the programs have gone in opposite
directions. Louisville floundered under Steve Kragthrope for two more years, while the Cats found their way to bowl games each year. “I remember it was one of my first college games and showing up at the Cat Walk at Commonwealth my freshman year was an unbelievable feeling,” Dufrene said. “I talked to a bunch of linebackers from the past and they told me ‘You all never lost to them. You need to keep the streak going because you know what it’s like to be the second team in Kentucky.’ ” The game is even bigger this year because it’s the season opener for both teams. In 2007 and 2009, former UK head coach Rich Brooks pushed the game back to let the Cats get off to an easier start. Losing the game doesn’t just mean dropping a key rivalry matchup, but also starting the season in an 0-1 hole.
“It being the first game of the year does add a little more to it,” Hines said. “You want to get started off on the right foot. You want to set the pace for the rest of the season.” The added pressure is fine by the UK players, who have been looking forward to the date all summer. A clock in the team’s weight room has been counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to kickoff all summer. But there’s still plenty of uncertainty heading into the game. For the second consecutive year, the Cats open their season against a team with a new head coach. That means coaches and players have only bits of film they can use for scouting, and much of the film was based off their decisions at their old schools. New coaches give both teams extra reason to try and start the season off right – not that any extra motivation was
needed for this game. “You want to be the top team in Kentucky,” Dufrene said. “You don’t want to be sitting behind anyone else.” That’s one of the biggest differences compared to when Hines and Dufrene arrived at UK in 2007. But even with their success against Louisville, they won’t be happy unless they can sweep the Cardinals. Dufrene said he doesn’t want to be remembered as part of a team that let a winning streak – and not a losing streak – end against their rivals. “Looking at it back then, people probably would say we’d (be happy to win) three out of four games against Louisville,” Dufrene said. “But we want to get over that hump and get somewhere warm for a bowl game and the only way we can do that is with a good start against FILE PHOTO Louisville.” Senior Derrick Locke evades a Louisville tackle in last year’s game on Sept. 19, 2009. UK has beaten Louisville three straight years.

Junior Kicker/punter Ryan Tydlacka punts the ball against Alabama at Commonwealth Stadium on Oct. 3, 2009.
Tydlacka will kick, punt By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Joe Mansour arrived on campus with a reputation for long, long field goals. The kind of field goals booted from the midfield logo. “The first day I got here, the team was surrounding me,” Mansour, a freshman, said on Media Day of his introduction to UK players. “And I think I kicked a 65yarder.” The hype reached levels rarely seen for kickers. He was a three-time All-State selection out of LaGrange (Ga.) High School and made a 59-yarder his senior year. His range seemed almost mythical, especially considering he was supposed to replace the departed Lones Seiber, who never kicked a field goal over 50 yards in his four-year career. Supposed to. When the depth chart was released Monday, Mansour was unlisted at placekicker – the position most assumed he would be starting at – and was the No. 2 punter. He is currently battling sophomore Craig McIntosh for the kick-
off specialist position. The freshman who was tabbed by UK head coach Joker Phillips as the most likely rookie to see playing time, and who “walked around like he owned the place” from the first day, won’t be assuming placekicking duties, at least for the start of the season.
in 2008. He converted three of six with a long of 51 yards. “He has won (the placekicking) job and has been the most consistent," Phillips said. Regardless of who is kicking field goals, Phillips wants special teams to be a team-wide, and staff-wide, effort.

Fire Safety sets campus aflame Sometimes it feels like we've been participating in fire drills since fire was invented. And fire was invented a long time ago. From early preschool days when we first toddled into single file lines with teachers yelling that we should remain calm until now, the concept of evacuating a building in a timely matter has been drilled into our heads. In grade school, the "troublemakers" pulled the fire alarms then lived in fear of being caught. In high school, we tried with varying levels of success to look cool and semi-mature while flocking out of a building en
masse. In college, a fire alarm pull means getting out of class, or it means someone pulled a practical joke on the poor kids living on the top floors of Kirwin and Blanding Towers. Despite all of the practicing, would we really know what to do in the event of a fire? When a fire starts on campus, all of the fire drill practice may actually work against students. Think about it: you've practiced half-heartedly evacuating (or, dare I say it, not evacuating at all) since the time you learned what fire is. When a large group of
people is contained in one building, fire safety becomes paramount. Combine the number of people in any given UK building on any given day with the fact that most of those people are students used to blowing off drills, and you potentially have a little taste of Dante's inferno. Though the words "Fire Safety Education" may call to mind songs from childhood about stopping, dropping and rolling, it’s vital that students know how to deal with fire-related accidents on a college campus. As college students, we know that campus is full of potentially dangerous situa-
tions. Confused chemistry lab partners, cigarettes (yes,even though campus is smoke-free), and even people wrapping each other in toilet paper and lighting a match are all potential campus fire starters. Last year, 28 fires had to be extinguished on UK’s campus; it would be foolish not to educate yourself on what to do the next time things go up in flames. Fire officials need to give students fire safety information, but much of the responsibility for a safer campus lies with the students themselves. Only you
can take that fire drill at 2 a.m. on the coldest day of the year seriously, or stop that pyromaniac roommate from torching something. September is Dorm Fire Safety Month, the time to learn evacuation procedures for the campus buildings you frequent. Take advantage of the free educational events hosted by the Office of the Fire Marshal this month, and get a free Tshirt in the process. Learn how to use a fire extinguisher because you know you secretly wanted to use one during all of those years doing fire drills.
