CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Cobb helps Cats top ‘Toppers 63-28 By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
UK’s Randall Cobb managed a football hat trick in the Cats’ home opener on Saturday. Cobb, a junior wide receiver, caught a pass for a touchdown, returned a punt for a touchdown and threw for a touchdown helping UK (2-0) to a 63-28 win over Western Kentucky (0-2), which extended its losing streak to 22 games, currently the longest in the nation. “There’s a lot of things that Randall Cobb does for this football team,” UK head coach Joker Phillips said. “And he does a lot of things that you guys don’t see also, things in the locker room that mean the most to this football team … he’s the guy that gets up. He’s a different person on gameday.” The trio of touchdowns by Cobb was just one part of UK’s dominant offensive performance, which included 206 rushing yards and 276 passing yards against its in-state rival. “We feel like we can throw the ball down the field as well as we’ve been running the ball the past couple of years,” said Phillips, who became the first UK head coach to start 2-0 in his debut season since Paul “Bear” Bryant went 3-0 in 1946 at the helm of UK. “Now, we’ve got a chance to just read the numbers. If the numbers say throw it, we throw it, and if the numbers say run it, we can just run it because of the way we’re throwing the ball right now.” In addition to Cobb’s do-it-all performance, senior quarterback Mike Hartline came out with his second straight consistent game. He completed 80 percent of his passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns. “That’s the confidence (Hartline) has in (his receivers) to make those plays, throw the ball down the field and trust that we can go up and make a play for him,” Cobb said of Hartline, whose three touchdown passes were to three different receivers (Cobb, senior Chris Matthews and sophomore La’Rod King).
Trustees consider raise for Todd By Patrick Sullivan psullivan@kykernel.com
The Board of Trustees will consider a proposed raise for outgoing UK President Lee Todd Tuesday. The board’s executive committee recommended an increase of $157,046 to Todd’s base salary Thursday. Todd, who announced
Wednesday his intention to retire on June 30, 2011, currently receives a base salary of $304,000. Todd also receives $50,000 for serving on research and academic boards, so the raise would bring his salary to $511,046, said UK spokeswoman Kathy Johnson. The raise would apply to the current fiscal year and the fiscal
year that ended June 30. The committee also proposed giving Todd an annual bonus of up to $50,000 based on performance, Johnson said. The proposal to boost Todd's salary came after the committee reviewed his evaluation. He received a 96 percent positive rating.
According to his contract, Todd would have been eligible to receive a $200,000 performance bonus. In previous years, Todd rejected bonuses because of UK’s budget woes. The board will meet Tuesday at 1 p.m. in the board room, located on the 18th floor of the Patterson Office Tower.
REMEMBERING THE FALLEN
“When you have a guy that versatile and he can make plays like that, you just don’t know what he’s going to do.” MIKE HARTLINE UK quarterback
Hartline returned the praise to Cobb, who he said made his job easier. “When you have a guy that versatile and he can make plays like that, you just don’t know what he’s going to do,” Hartline said. Despite the impressive offensive numbers, the Cats got off to a rocky start with WKU scoring a touchdown on its first drive of the game, a 59-yard run down the sideline by junior tailback Bobby Rainey, who finished with a game-high 187 yards. Following the opening touchdown, UK responded with 35 unanswered points. A WKU kickoff-return for a touchdown for 90 yards late in the first half was followed by a UK touchdown with 11 seconds left in the second quarter to push the Cats’ lead to 42-14. Even with the game seemingly well in hand at halftime, Phillips said his team did a much better job of finishing strong. Compared to last week’s game against Louisville, Phillips also said he was pleased his team stayed out of See FOOTBALL on page 5

Faculty and staff will receive an additional holiday, according to a Thursday news release. The nonrecurring, “floating” holiday may be taken any time between now and June 30, 2011. It will not apply to employees working in UK hospitals, clinics, College of Medicine clinical departments, University Health Services and UK HealthCare corporate areas. Improving financial conditions will enable UK HealthCare to fund annual merit increases, effective October 2010, for employees in those areas, according to the news release. “This special arrangement is
provided for our campus staff, for whom we were unable to provide merit increases this year,” UK President Lee Todd said in an e-mail to university employees. “While I wish we could do more, this special holiday and the recent one-time payment are given in appreciation of your hard work and dedication.” Employees in regular positions employed on or before Sept. 1, 2010, with a full-time equivalent of 0.5 or greater are entitled to receive the holiday at their regular rate of pay. “Wherever you work across the university, I want you to know we appreciate your efforts,” Todd said.

Taxi service discontinued By Patrick Sullivan psullivan@kykernel.com
TaxiCats, a discounted taxi service for students, has been temporarily discontinued, according to a Friday news release. According to the release, All American Taxi, the vendor that provided the service, was recently sold. This caused the temporary suspension of the program. UK Parking and Transportation Services is talking with local taxi companies to continue the TaxiCats program. Founded in 2006, TaxiCats was created when the Division of Student Affairs and Student Government collaborated with the Genesis Project. Genesis is a UK student organization that
works with a coalition of 42 national and international fraternities and sororities dedicated to finding solutions to the problem of binge drinking among college students. In 2006, the coalition chose UK and DePauw University to participate in a pilot program that works with student leaders and administrators to develop and execute a long-term program to change student alcohol culture. According to a Sept. 13, 2009, Kernel article, TaxiCats was available anytime and allowed students to travel within the boundaries of Chevy Chase, Broadway, Greg Page Apartments and Main Street for $2 per person.

Avoiding Snooki’s actions, stupidity In what has to be the greatest legal precedent set ever, a judge on Wednesday fined Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi $500, ordering her to perform community service after she pleaded guilty to annoying people on a New Jersey beach in July. Why stop there, I thought. She should be fined in perpetuity. As far as community service goes, the only service Snooki could do to any community is to stay away from it. Snooki is, of course, a star of MTV's historical low-point "Jersey Shore." They stuck a bunch of fake, stereotype-flinging, Italian, hormonal twentysomethings in a house together, backed up the BevMo! truck, fired up the hot tub, forbade the men from wearing shirts and the women to say whole sentences that don't include "Ohmoigod" and three bleeped-out words, and gave them enough money to rampage through local seaside bars like Vikings. They fight, they cry, they fornicate ... sometimes all at once. Very seriously, I can't think of a lower point for American pop culture. It's a celebration of stupidity that saddens those of us who remember what the "M" in MTV used to stand for (before they changed it to "moronic"). A few weeks ago, my wife, who understands these shows are stupid but nonetheless has a frightening addiction to them, gleefully announced it was time for "Jersey Shore." Normally, when

“Snooki,” above, was fined $500 and ordered to do community service after pleading guilty to annoying people on a New Jersey beach. she gleefully announces it's time to watch a reality show, I get pretty gleeful myself, knowing we're going to watch something that either involves men pulling animals out of dangerous bodies of water ("The Deadliest Catch,") or more female fashion babble than any man should be legally allowed to enjoy. What really troubles me are the kids who watch "Jersey Shore" and think living a life bereft of work, reflection, sound decision-making and going 45 seconds without accusing someone of cheating on them is natural. During college, I had to work hard for every moment I got in a hot tub. The problem with "Jersey Shore" is that the characters aren't even funny parodies of human beings. They're selfish, overly dramatic, drunk, uber-promiscuous people who can't possibly
spend that much time in tanning beds. These people don't know that they're parodies, which takes all the fun out of it. My oldest girl, who's now in college, once said to me she wanted to be a singer. Well, fine. Why not? Then she saidshe was going to have to start dressing skimpier, because that's what Mariah Carey does. My chest pains continued until about six months ago. Thankfully, she now spends too much time worrying about classes. Meanwhile, I have three other girls who all watch TV. And, unfortunately, I can't depend on a judge convicting all the idiots on television of being annoying. It's up to us adults to carefully guide our kids through the airwaves of stupidity.
You've both taken different roads to arrive at perfect agreement. Cancer (June 22—July 22) — Today is a 5 — Interaction with an unusual person provides new insight into a work issue. At first, it seems much too strange, but then the idea grows on you. Leo (July 23—Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — You have plenty of ideas about how to spend your hard-earned money. Try not to break the bank as you decide which creative ideas to pursue. Then go for it. Virgo (Aug. 23—Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — Somehow you know exactly what to say and what choices to make. Others may only see the practical results. The answers just come to you with ease. Libra (Sept. 23—Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — You can use scraps from other projects and still get a lot done. Wait a day or two before spending money to take advantage of a sale. Scorpio (Oct. 23—Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — The benefits of your personal input cannot be
overestimated now. Others simply don't have your information or expertise. Stay in the conversation. Sagittarius (Nov. 22—Dec. 21) — Today is a 9 — You can elevate the mood of even the gloomiest participant by creating the right atmosphere. Rearrange spaces to achieve better energy flow. Capricorn (Dec. 22—Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Ideas have been floating around among your associates long enough. Grab hold of one or two and run with them. Get the ball really rolling. Aquarius (Jan. 20—Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Imaginative ideas bubble up like water from a spring. Refresh your thinking, and put some of them into action. There's plenty to run with. Pisces (Feb. 19—March 20) — Today is a 7 — You love the concept of having your finger in every pie. The problem is that you're scattered in six directions. Someone else gathers up the pieces.

Cats suffer lack of support in win CHANDLER HOWARD
Kernel columnist Before most likely collapsing from exhaustion, Wildcat did his final onearmed push-ups in front of a small fraction of the original hometown crowd Saturday.
It was, frankly, quite sad. Any mathematics professor on campus would have a field day searching for the direct correlation between the number of points scored by UK and the number of fans that leave a football game early. With each touchdown, the Cats tacked on in the second half of the Western Kentucky game, thousands more blue-clad fans filed out of
Commonwealth Stadium, but why? The philosophy is flawed. Fans can come eight hours early to do nothing in particular, but they cannot stay through the final tick of the clock. I don’t understand it. “Fanhood” must be a loosely used term when attached to UK football. It certainly is not the same kind of image found at Florida, Ohio State or even Tennessee,
among most other schools. It is embarrassing to the UK program. UK simply has one of the worst student sections in the Southeastern Conference (in all sports, but especially football). You can shell out the $35 for tickets, wear the shirts and clap sporadically because your friends do, but showing true support when See HOWARD on page 5
Ohio State gains added credibility with big victory over Miami By Jason Lloyd MCT
COLUMBUS, Ohio — For 80 yards, Cameron Heyward looked like a chip off the old iron, picking up blocks, changing directions and running as fast as 288 pounds can go. He looked like his dad, former NFL running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, only Cameron's interception return Saturday was 80 yards. Ironhead's longest run in the NFL was 73 yards. He looked like James Harrison, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker who returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown two years ago, only Heyward weighs about 45 pounds more and Harrison's came in the Super Bowl. The way they're playing, the Buckeyes just might be headed to college football's super bowl game in Arizona on Jan. 10. Saturday's 36-24 win over Miami earned the Buckeyes credibility, and that's far more valuable than a victory. The Ohio State teams that couldn't beat Florida, LSU, Texas or USC have been re-
placed by a new version that is now 2-for-2 in big games. Saturday's win was an encore to the Rose Bowl victory over Oregon and came against a Miami Hurricanes team desperate to strut and swagger and prove it mattered again in college football. "You could say we outswagged them," said linebacker Brian Rolle, who grew up a 'Canes fan in Florida. "We got a little swagger ourselves." It wasn't always that way. Humiliating losses the past couple of years left the Buckeyes with more of a limp than a swag. They were the punch line to a bad Big Ten joke. All of that has been washed away, at least for now. "People are going to have to take this program seriously now," Rolle said. "Hopefully, people will start looking at us in a new light. We are as good as advertised." That's particularly true on defense, where Ohio State has allowed one touchdown in two games. The Hurricanes finally produced some big plays in the second half, but Ohio State's blitz schemes seemed

Involvement increases odds of employment College enrollment is the highest it’s ever been. This is great for universities but bad for ambitious students. As the pool of freshmen increases each year, so will expectations and so will competition. To increase stress, this peak in college enrollment comes amidst a recession that has driven the national unemployment rate to the highest it’s been in more than a quarter of a century.

SHANNON FRAZER, Kernel cartoonist
A look into more convenient coupons Shannon Frazer Kernel columnist
I’m a bargain shopper. I rarely go shopping without a coupon in hand or store circular that highlights what’s on sale. Maybe it’s my cheap college student mentality. Others embrace this mentality too, though. Money-strapped college students often try to find ways to cut down on expenses whenever and wherever possible. One of the most traditional methods, coupon-clipping, has become an antiquated practice, at least in the traditional sense. But thanks to retailers like Target, JCPenney and various grocery manufacturers and restaurants, more
Shoppers also now have the ability to get coupons straight from their mobile devices. The California-based KFSN news station reported in May that cell phones equipped with Internet can access mobile coupons. All customers have to do is show the phone coupon to cashiers at the register. Customers just go to a retailer’s website or a mobile coupon aggregate site, enter their cell phone number and then select what offers they want to receive. The offers then arrive in a text message and are ready to redeem whenever customers choose to use them. Blackberrys and iPhones have hundreds of downloadable mobile coupon applications. According to the KFSN report, mobile coupons have a higher rate of redemption: 5 to 20 percent, as opposed to 1 percent from traditionally-printed coupons.
Manufacturers approve of this move to the Internet, because it’s cheaper and provides a way to track customer spending trends. And consumers are equally as thrilled to have discounts at the click of a button, rather than have to go through and clip out the coupons, thereby saving paper and largely increasing convenience. Coupons no longer have to be outdated little pieces of paper that arrive in circulars each week. Rather, they can continue to be practical ways for consumers, particularly college students, to save money in this pennypinching economy. I’m not sure I’ll be as apt as other customers to give up my paper coupons right away, but the convenience and environmental impact are definitely things to consider.

discounts are now available online. An Aug. 14 CNN Saturday Morning report revealed that more people are bypassing the paper version of coupons in favor of their online counterparts. In the CNN report, financial analyst Clyde Anderson said the changing times have meant Sunday newspapers are not offering the coupons in the numbers they used to, as more merchants have elected to move discounts online, a sign that the Coupon 2.0 era has begun. This change has even prompted the institution of coupon-clipping classes to teach people the art of searching for and selecting online coupons. The classes, which are available online or at physical locations, range from free to $25 in cost. These services have even begun to show up in Facebook ads, which direct people to the appropriate websites to sign up.

Your Halloween costume might be good at getting you treats, but chances are the outfit itself was quite a rip off. While the holiday of dressing up in a ridiculous fashion is more than a month away, costume stores are open, with people buying away. Sadly though, it seems most people just aren’t into the sheet ghost thing anymore. (Classic, we should bring it back.) Much more popular are journeys into the risque. The formula for a modern Halloween costume is simple. In fact, I promise I

can teach how to brainstorm your very own marketable costume before the end of this column. First, think of an occupation. The medical field, law enforcement field or military field — you name it. Okay, do you have one? Picture the uniform that person would wear. Now, remove about 72 to 80 percent of the cloth and add boots. Voila! Costume! If the idea of dressing like you were at work and then got attacked by a lion is appealing to you, then by all means, go for it. However, I have a few problems with this system. One, we’re being tricked out of using our creative ability. A nurse who’s wearing booty shorts instead of scrubs? Exciting. You know what would be more exciting? A nurse in short shorts who stumbled into a pile of radiation because of her abnormally huge
boots and grew the head of giant squid. Just saying. Making the creativity problem look small, however, is my main issue with these costumes — the way the prices rip people off. Let us use Halloweenexpress.com as an example. Oh, look, a “Strip Search Sheriff” costume. The costume consists of a “Low cut, short sleeve top, shorts, belt, glasses, gloves, and police baton.” The knee-high boots are not included. The price? $59.99, and that’s $12 cheaper than the retail price of $71.99. I don’t know about you, but there’s no way I can justify paying between $60 and $72 for a likely cheaplymade pair of shorts, thin belly-button length shirt, plastic accessories and glasses I could buy for $1.00. I wonder if once upon a time a committee sat around a long, oval table and said,
“Hey, let’s set this up so the fewer clothes you buy, the more it’ll cost! It’s genius!” and everybody fell for it. The “Strip Search Sheriff” is by no means the only example. Go and look for yourself. These types of costumes with their rip off prices run rampant. In no way am I discouraging you from wearing whatever strikes your fancy. I am suggesting we pay a little more attention and use our brains instead of dishing out tons of cash for things we’ll wear once. Find a real outfit and cut it up. Go to thrift stores or other stores and piece things together. Make things. Chances are, it’ll look more interesting, and you won’t be buying the equivalent of the world’s most-expensive cleaning rag. Virginia Alley is an English freshman. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Wide receiver Randall Cobb runs the ball against WKU in Saturday night’s 63-28 win at Commonwealth Stadium. Cobb finished the game with 192 all-purpose yards.
FOOTBALL Continued from page 1 penalty trouble — UK had two for six yards this week — but was unhappier with the big plays his defense gave up once again this week. “On defense, two 80-yard drives in the second half can’t happen … especially if you want to be a great defense,” Phillips said. In the second half, UK gave a lot of its backups, including quarterbacks Morgan Newton and Ryan Mossakowski, a chance to see the field. Notably, third-string freshman tailback Raymond Sanders carried the ball seven times for 32 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns, including the first of his career. “I joked around with Sanders all week that he wasn’t going to get in the end zone, but he came out and popped in two tonight,” Cobb
said. And what Cobb says, joking or not, makes a difference to his teammates. “Cobb doesn’t say much during the week,” Phillips said. “But on gameday, he’s the guy that’s vocal in the locker room, getting the guys inspired to play.”
Game notes UK and WKU will play again next season at LP Field in Nashville…The Cats have won 15 straight games against non-conference opponents at home…It was the second meeting between the two schools: UK is 2-0 against the Hilltoppers…UK’s 63 points were the most points scored in regulation since scoring 77 points vs. UTEP in 2002…Tailbacks Derrick Locke (forearm) and Donald Russell (ankle), and cornerback Randall Burden (lower back) picked up injuries in the game…Sophomore cornerback Martavius Neloms (groin) missed the game because of injury.
your team needs it is out of the question. Imagine the feeling freshman running back Raymond Sanders, an athlete who is younger than most ticket holders, felt Saturday. He scored the first touchdown of his collegiate career on a short run, and then looked up to see nobody left in the stands to share the moment with him. Then when he scored a second time as a Cat only minutes later, even fewer fans were there to show him love. How disheartening.

guys (who don’t even know what they are watching) are taking up the seats they paid for. Save the excuses for someone who cares. It was a home opener, the weather was perfect as ever for an evening of football in the Bluegrass, and the Cats were obliterating their opponent while playing a very clean game. What more can you ask for as a fan? If you are going to claim your unwavering allegiance to the Blue and White community, show it to the players, too — for the entire game. It is the duty of a fan to support his or her team through thick and thin. If you do not, you have no right to bash the team when it’s struggling. I applaud those of you who remain glued to the
match from the first heartbeat through the final verse of “My Old Kentucky Home,” even through losses. It is dedication to be admired. Being a follower should never be a competition. Instead, a more unified front. But that front cannot form when a main percentage of so-called devotees are on the way home. If it does not happen at other schools, it shouldn’t happen at a university of this caliber. So, a note to “fans”: do your part. If not for some columnist, at least do so for your beloved athletes. Be the proud Cats fans they deserve. Come on, UK. Fit the mold. Chandler is a journalism sophomore. E-mail choward@kykernel.com.
Ohio State's leading rusher in the national championship victory over Miami — much like Pryor led the Buckeyes in rushing against the Hurricanes on Saturday. Pryor is at his best when he's in the open field, not when he's standing in the pocket. Heyward is at his best when he's pressuring quarterbacks, but he proved to be a capable return man, too. "You don't realize how long the field is," he said, "until you start running it." With Miami out of the way, Ohio State's remaining
tests should be Wisconsin, Penn State, Iowa and perhaps Michigan. Wisconsin and Iowa are both on the road. But by beating a quality nonconference opponent, the Buckeyes might have bought themselves some breathing room. Whereas one loss eliminated them from national title talk before, this year they can stay in the discussion should a pile of one-loss teams create a BCS logjam at the end of the year. But don't tell them that. "That doesn't matter right now," Rolle said. "We don't plan on losing." Yeah, the swag is back.

2nd Boomslang is success By Colin Walsh cwalsh@kykernel.com
Music and art lovers were privy to a wide array of talent all weekend long as the second annual Boomslang commenced with nearly 70 acts throughout four days at seven different venues. The event started Thursday with a kickoff party at Bar Lexington, but the music really began to pop on Friday at Busters when Sonic Boom, stage name of Pete Kember, founder of the English rock band Spacemen 3, broke in the backroom stage. Kember’s music, a mix of psychedelic rock and shoegazing, began with a long and quiet intro but gradually built its way up into a crowd-pleasing performance. Friday’s acts were numerous and spread out across Lexington from Cosmic Charlie’s to in-store performances at CD Central on S. Limestone. Midway through the event, coordinator Saraya Brewer was pleasantly surprised with the improvement over last year’s festival and noted several performances
that she was impressed with. “Last year it was really awesome all in all, but it was kind of new; this year it is a lot smoother overall,” Brewer said. “The Akron/Family did a really energetic performance everyone was into and had a great time. ‘Everyone lives Everyone Wins’ had a really cool multimedia thing, that was really awesome, and the crowd was really impressed.” Saturday offered more performances and flare. Along with continuing performances on Buster’s backroom stage, the parking lot was transformed into a carnival/art show with makeshift stages for bands, comedians and other types of performance art. As Saturday night flew by, fire dancers dazzled and twirled in tune with alt-country, Cincinnati-based indie band “The Seddy Seeds.” Event coordinator Brewer said the event attracted people from places outside of Lexington, including Michigan and Chicago. “They were really impressed with the show,” Brewer said. Plenty of festival goers,

On Sunday, Brewer said the event was a success and an improvement, but room
for improvement exists for next year. “Everything was great,” Brewer said. “A lot of people came out to discover music and enjoy themselves, but we wish we had reached more students. We need to figure out a way to get the word out about Boomslang and WRFL, which is a great student resource.”
Theatre department celebrates 100 years By Taylor Spaw features@kykernel.com
While many students were busy buying school supplies and figuring out class schedules during the first weeks of school, UK theatre students were busy with rehearsals and auditions. From Thursday to Sunday, the UK Department of Theatre celebrated its centennial with a student-run play festival, which included seven plays at
the Guignol Theatre. The plays chosen for the festival have been in the workings for more than a year. Nancy Jones, chair of the Department of Theatre, said the festival shows the best of the department. “This is where students can really see their works come alive on stage,” she said. For many of the writers, the festival was their first ex-
perience working with directors, faculty designers and all the trappings of main stage production. The plays came through many stages of work, including public readings, and editing and viewing from theatre professor Herman D. Farrell. Theatre senior Allyson Smith wrote, “The Dance,” a play featured in the festival and said real life events inspired it. She said she hopes her play will inspire others to
get involved in theatre and bring them back to see more performances this season. Theatre student Ryan Hastings said he hopes the plays inspired people to get involved. “I want them to see this is a place for everyone,” he said.
