Campus sees three robberies in two weeks By Drew Teague
when he was approached by two male black subjects.” One suspect continued walking, while the other went to the victim and told him to get down and give him everything, Monroe said. The second subject returned to help the other, who had the weapon. The victim complied, giving him his backpack with laptop, books and other items as well as his wallet and iPhone. Another robbery occurred just after, farther from campus, Monroe said. The second victim did not get a good look at the suspect’s face, just his clothing. “The victim was approached by a black male wearing a sweat shirt, shorts and tennis shoes,” Monroe said. The second victim’s wallet and phone were taken in the robbery, Monroe said. Because of the proximity and timing of the two robberies, they could be related,

We’re looking forward to entertaining the student body.” What Step Afrika is today is the culmination of many years of interaction with the people of South Afrika during the annual Step Afrika International Cultural Festival in Johannesburg, where Step Afrika partners with the Soweto Dance Theatre to swap dance styles from around the world and to diffuse those cultures.

Slap, clap, thump, jump and groove – Step Afrika is making its way to the Singletary Center Wednesday. “Stepping,” a blend of tap, dance, rhythm and cultural richness has been a staple in African American pop culture for years. It has grown over the years to embody the traditions of many African-American fraternities and sororities, but few acts are as well known and respected worldwide as Step Afrika. The first professional dance company of its kind, the organization also serves as a cultural ambassador and educational resource to help bridge the gap between the cultures of the United States
and South Africa. According to its website, the company describes itself as a “model for the use of stepping in educational settings, espousing themes such as teamwork, academic achievement and cross-cultural understanding.”
Three robberies have occurred around UK’s campus in the past two weeks. 1. Corner of Rose Street and Funkhouser. Sept. 14. 2. Oldham Court and Columbia Avenue. Sept. 21. 3. 477 Pennsylvania Ave. Sept. 21.

Currently, the office is preparing for the annual Education Abroad Fair and they have been passing out flyers to students to advertise. Ogden said he is also excited to be at UK because the system for education abroad is strong. “I think one of the reasons why I chose to come here is because the stars are aligning here at the University of Kentucky.

Currently, UK has 20 programs led by UK faculty per year and Ogden said he wants to triple that number. “We are working toward much higher goals than we have ever had,” said Ioana Cosoreanu, Education Abroad Office and Data Manager. Cosoreanu has worked with Ogden since he came to UK and said he is a “highly motivated and a detailed oriented person.” She said she is looking forward to seeing how their efforts help to increase the number of students going abroad.

Hi
A Kentucky native has returned home after years spent abroad to be UK’s Director of Education Abroad. Anthony Ogden, originally from Shepherdsville, Ky., started his new position this August in the Office of International Affairs. He spent the summer in Japan and the past seven years working at Pennsylvania State University as the Associate Director of Education Abroad. “I’m coming home after 20-plus years,” Ogden said. “It’s good to be back.” In those 20 years, Ogden has lived and traveled all over the world, including many years in Asia, Australia,
Africa and Europe. He said though he was offered several other jobs, he chose UK because there is not a long history of international education at UK. “Every UK student needs to graduate having some international understanding and that’s why I chose University of Kentucky,” Ogden said. As the new director of the program, Ogden said he has multiple goals for study abroad. One of his strategies is to have a diverse array of programs, but he specifically wants to increase the number of programs led by UK faculty. Faculty-led trips consist of a UK faculty member taking a group abroad, lasting

Anthony Ogden returned to UK as the new Director of Education Abroad at the beginning of the fall 2010 semester. Ogden came from Penn. State as the Associate Director of their Education Abroad program.
UK students, faculty and staff woke up to a UK Alert system notification about two robberies near campus Tuesday morning.. One robbery occurred on the intersection of Oldham Court and Columbia Avenue at 2:46 a.m. Tuesday, and the other occurred a minute later at 447 Pennsylvania Ave. Suspects in both incidents had similar descriptions. The alerts were sent 21 minutes after the first incident. Therese Smith, emergency management specialist, said in an e-mail that the UKPD shift commander sent out the UK Alert. UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said the victim in the first incident was walking home at 2:45 a.m. “The victim said he was walking down the sidewalk from W.T. Young [Library],” Monroe said. “He walked toward Columbia Avenue
Education Abroad holds information fair Students can discover international options By Nicole Schladt news@kykernel.com
UK is committed to making a difference beyond the borders of its campus. But only 1.19 percent of college students breach these borders and study abroad, according to the Association of International Educators. UK will address this issue Wednesday with the 2010 Education Abroad Fair. The fair will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Student Center Grand Ballroom. The fair is designed so students can learn about all of the international programs UK has
to offer, including international exchanges, staff-led study abroad and third-party programs. There will also be live international entertainment, free t-shirts and prizes. “Our goal for the fair is to launch the Education Abroad series for the year and to encourage UK students and faculty to internationalize the undergraduate experience,” said Anthony Ogden, the new Education Abroad Director at UK. Ogden said he also hopes the fair will dispel many of the misconceptions associated with studying abroad.
“UK students don’t study abroad as much as they should. We have a lot of students say they are afraid of cost or time constraints,” he said. “The fair is a wonderful opportunity to learn the truth about these ‘myths’ of Education Abroad. The truth is that UK has programs for any discipline, any length of time, any place in the world.” Education Abroad Adviser Sonya Cunningham echoed Ogden’s sentiments. “Students often think that there are barriers keeping them See EA FAIR on page 2

ROBBERY Continued from page 1 Monroe said. Police believe the suspect in the second incident had a weapon as well and think it might have been an air assault rifle. Monroe said he is unsure if the robberies are related. Last week a student was robbed at the intersection of Rose Street and Funkhouser Drive at 2:45 a.m. According to the UK Alert sent last week, that suspect was a black male, approximately 150 pounds, 20 to 30 years of age with short or no hair. He was last seen wearing jeans. Monroe said students need to avoid situations that put them at risk. “The number one thing is don’t get yourself in that situation,” Monroe said.

his professional role is to evaluate programs in various countries, ranging from the Middle East to the Mediterranean to Europe. Ogden also conducts research documenting the outcomes of studying abroad. He said that study abroad for him is not just a profession because he is an “academic of outcomes assessment research.” “Many people think study abroad is a good thing. I want to prove it,” Ogden said. His research can be found in one of his recently
EA FAIR Continued from page 1 from going abroad,” Cunningham said. “We, as advisers, will help students get all of the information they need to overcome any of these barriers.” If students are unable to stop by the fair, more Education Abroad events will be held throughout the year. These events will include sessions specifically tailored to different regions and themes. For example, a showcase of study abroad opportunities in Japan will be held Oct. 7. Another event scheduled for the early spring will promote summer programs abroad. In the meantime, students can get a headstart on applying for study abroad by attending an Education Abroad First Step Session. These sessions are held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4 to
published books, titled “Education Abroad and the Making of Global Citizens.” Though Ogden’s research has taken him all over the world, he said that Japan is his favorite place and has become a second home to him. As for his first home, Ogden is settling back in and said he is excited to reconnect with Kentucky. “I’m looking forward to introducing Kentucky to the world,” Ogden said. “And I sure want to see more Kentuckians in the world.”

In October, he will be traveling to Argentina where the Argentine government will show him universities so United States students will travel there. He said part of
“Don’t walk alone. Use pairs if possible.” UK Police officers are increasing patrols around recent crime scenes. “We’re going to look at this and do some other things, whether it’s extra patrols or actually initiating the new hours on our escorts,” Monroe said. “We’re looking at a couple different initiatives to try and combat that.” UK Police have streamlined the process for getting UK Alerts sent out, so students, faculty and staff get the alerts as quickly as possible, Monroe said. Dispatchers now have the ability to fill in an online template that sends information to Emergency Management Services to be sent out in various forms. If anyone has information about any of the recent robberies please contact UKPD by calling (859)257UKPD (8573).

Nifty Fifties fashion comeback Fashion is having a bit of an identity crisis this fall. The military-tough, almost street-warrior vibe is still going strong with cargo pants, utility jackets and tailored coats, while fur (both real and faux) is aggressively adorning almost everything from boots to anorak collars. But on the flip side of this heavy, edgy approach to fall dressing is the season's pulled-together 1950s aesthetic, inspired by the ladylike look of that decade. Call it a yearning for simpler times, when women wore skirts that hit below the knee and the only boxy thing was a pillbox hat. Fall collections from Louis Vuit-

"With fashion, I personally find it sexy when someone doesn't show a lot of skin, but rather the curves and shape of the body," says Rade, who implements this technique flawlessly on her client Angelina Jolie. She warns that to wear these longer skirts you must balance the overall look by wearing something smaller or fitted on top and perhaps accentuating the waist with a bow belt.

"For warmer climates, look for lighter weights and play with the idea of an updated twin set," says Simon Kneen, creative director and executive vice president of design for Banana Republic. He adds that mixing up classic cardigans with crazy jewelry or knotted scarves is key, especially when following this 1950s trend. "Don't take the ladylike look too literally," Kneen says.

AFRIKA Continued from page 1 ning festival, audience members should expect plenty of unique dance during the perfromances. Clarkson advises attendees to expect an “exciting and slam packed show” that will act as a “cultural exchange of different styles of percussive dance from around the world.” Everything from Zulu and African Gumboot, performed by dancers wearing Wellington-style rubber-boots, to traditional hip-hop and stepping will be a part of the show. The team of dancers is comprised of 11 members, who hail from all different parts of the U.S. While they tour 150 cities yearly, their UK visit is a part of the annual 50-city tour of American colleges and universities. Step Afrika has been around since 1994 and have performed in various locations around the world including North and South America, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. The Washington-based performance company has also been featured in cultural dance documentaries and on many television and radio satiations, including CNN, BET, PBS and NPR. the

Yelling sends mixed message Free assembly enables group Throughout the course of history, humanity has slowly realized that certain things work and certain things don’t work.
VIRGINIA ALLEY Contributing columnist There are actions that are generally helpful and actions that are terribly unhelpful. Screaming is one of those things that just doesn’t seem to do much. However, not everyone notices this. UK found itself host to such a person this week, and I was graced with the opportunity to walk by him on my way to class. As I went past, catching a few loud sentences and posed questions, I compiled a list in my head of things that he did and did not evoke in me. There were definitely a few immediate reactions. At first I was slightly startled. Usually, people yell at me because I’ve done something wrong. For example, if I stepped on your pet frog, or ripped up your homework and stuck out my tongue at you, you would probably yell. This man, however, was
yelling simply because he could — sort of disconcerting. Secondly, I was a bit annoyed. I had done nothing to deserve his seeming anger (not even stepped on his pet frog or ripped up his homework!) and yet I received it. It just didn’t seem friendly. What he didn’t evoke in me was a positive response or curiosity. He spoke of his religion, but his yelling didn’t invite me to ask him, “Oh really, that sounds interesting. What are you talking about?” Instead, I wanted to scamper away. If you’re trying to interest people in what your religion or ideology has to offer, shouldn’t you do it in a more inviting way? It just so happened that after this encounter, I had another similar, yet entirely different encounter. I met with a few people, also interested in sharing their spiritual ideas, and was shown an entirely different approach. Rather than having information shouted at me as I scurried to English, I was encouraged to ask questions. The result was people effectively sharing their ideas, and I was able to receive them with curiosity and interest versus the desire to run away quickly. The key here is openness
on the part of the giver and the receiver of opinion, especially in the realm of religion. Each of the world’s philosophies has something to offer. The unique ways of thinking, the intriguing cultural concepts, the stories and lessons — all are valuable and interesting if you take the time to look. However, it’s impossible for the beauty of each and every religion to spread if it’s being shouted rather than shared. When you find yourself sharing your ideas, use logic. If you want a kid to eat vegetables, waving asparagus wildly in his face while screaming about how incredibly awesome it is will probably not work (and may result in expensive therapy sessions later in life). If you want the kid to learn about asparagus you should probably nicely get him to try it. If he really loves it, that’s great. But maybe he won’t fancy it — he can move on to other vegetables. That’s okay. So, when sharing asparagus (or religion), remember basic ideas about how to share with others successfully. And please, don’t yell. Virginia Alley is an English freshman.

An often overlooked part of the First Amendment is the right of free assembly and association.
WATSON HARDING Guest columnist
This component of the First Amendment holds special significance to LGBTQQIA students at the University of Kentucky because of the struggles students undertook to create student organizations and have them recognized by the administration. The first attempt to start an LGBT student group at UK was with the Gay-Liberation Front in 1971. The Singletary administration refused their application for recognition as a student group on campus and the privileges that status afforded, namely the right to host events on campus. However, events were put on through Student Government and the Free University movement. Unfortunately, queer students still had no group to declare their own nor space with which to organize because the university
actively denied them their right to association. The university refused to grant recognition because sexual acts between two people of the same sex were illegal at the time. The administration wrongly assumed that this would be the only function of any queer student group, a line of logic supported by the state attorney general and the courts. This denial of free association limited many other First Amendment rights. Without free association LGBT students could not organize and petition for changes in the laws that made being gay illegal. A group has more ability to petition for change than an individual. Without free association students would have to advocate as individuals, inevitably outing themselves and exposing themselves to all the negative consequences that entailed. Today students worry about potential employers seeing party pictures on Facebook, but back then a pro-gay letter to the editor could get you fired. It would make more sense for a student group to publish a collective letter but they were unable. The denial of free association actively de-
nied students their right to free speech. Today students almost take for granted the right to form student groups. UK counts amongst its groups everything from libertarians to socialists, club rugby to Quidditch. The campus is still fraught with challenges to the First Amendment, most with a large amount of gray area. Does the university have the authority to create a free speech zone? Is smoking on campus a legitimate form of protest against the smoking ban? Why is it so difficult for students to publicly voice opinions at Board of Trustees meetings? Strides have been made in advancing students' First Amendment rights on the college campus but there is still unexplored territory. Instead of taking our rights for granted it is our duty to push and expand them. We have been afforded the rights denied to our student forebears; why not use it for the liberty of those yet to pass through the University of Kentucky? Watson Harding is a history and geography senior and co-president of UK Gay-Straight Alliance.

A victory in Gainesville would silence critics By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com

Linebacker Ronnie Sneed chases after running back Bobby Rainey in the first half of the UK vs WKU home game on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010.
For UK, Saturday's Southeastern Conference opener against Florida gives the Cats more than just the opportunity to move to 4-0. A win over the No. 9 Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) would jumpstart the Cats in conference play and continue the honeymoon period for UK head coach Joker Phillips. But most importantly, beating Florida would put the Cats on the map nationally. "If you beat a top-10 team and you're unranked, you're going to get attention no matter who you are," senior quarterback Mike Hartline said. "I know we've gotten some (attention) just because of our production on offense, but that doesn't extend as
far as a win. And we need to win against Florida, we need to beat SEC teams. If we don't then we're just the same program we used to be." Three years ago, UK beat then No. 9 ranked Louisville after blowing out two lesser opponents to open the season. That game catapulted UK into the national rankings and gave the program the kind of credibility and attention it hadn't received for years. "Louisville, not to say that they're less of an opponent, but Florida has won national championships," said senior linebacker Ronnie Sneed, a native of Florida. "This is what I signed to play in the SEC for. I didn't come here to play Louisville. I came here to play these big SEC schools and get these wins." The game could mean much
more to other individual players as well. "This is a huge game because if we can get those guys like that to play well, we're going to win the game," Sneed said. "If we can get our offense clicking like that and our defense steps up like the last game, it's going to be a victory." Securing the victory means contending with a raucous crowd of over 90,000 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, better known as "The Swamp." The Cats will be practicing with simulated crowd noise blared over loud speakers at the Nutter Training Facility, but Hartline said nothing can quite prepare players for the atmosphere on the road in the SEC. "It's big for everybody," Hartline said. "Even for the guys
that aren't traveling. There's some type of self-awareness for this program to kick off, especially with Coach Phillips as a new head coach and with how long we haven't beaten them." If the Cats can overcome all that and find a way to beat Florida for the first time in 24 years, though, it will mean more than just a 4-0 start. "It puts us on the map," Hartline said. "It shows us that we still can win big games and we're not just somebody that beat three teams at the beginning of the season."

Canucks shouldn’t use Google NICK CRADDOCK
Kernel columnist Google has gone too far this time. During my daily Google search of my own name (wait, what? That’s not normal?), I also began a seemingly harmless query with “Why can’t‌â€? and Google suggested that I probably wanted to type “Why can’t I own a Canadian?â€? I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I thought my eyes were playing Canadian tricks on me. Specifically, the kind of trick that makes me see malarkey when it doesn’t exist. Try again, I thought. So, once again, I typed “Why can’t‌â€? and once again Google suggested that I was probably shooting for “Why can’t I own a Canadian?â€? There the words stood,
just staring at me, right above other pressing life questions like “Why can’t I get pregnant?� and “Why can’t dogs eat chocolate?� That’s messed up, Google. Naturally, I resorted to name calling after Google had offended me. I was hurt, so I told Google exactly what I thought of it. I smacked my keyboard and eventually typed “You’re fat!� into the Google search bar. Google snidely replied, “Do you mean phat?� Needless to say, I was fuming. Google was anything but “pretty hot and tempting� after insulting me not once, but twice, in a matter of minutes. I put my head down on the computer desk and wept. I didn’t even feel like finishing my game of solitaire. Later, before I indulged in my nightcap, I turned to my faithful butler Jeeves, who used to be a relevant
search engine, for consolation. When I began asking Jeeves “Why can’t‌â€? the question of why Canadians can’t be owned didn’t pop up. Oh, Jeeves, you serve me well good sir. Clearly, only Google had forgotten that the 13th Amendment states that slavery is a major no-no in this country. For crying out loud, Constitution Day came and went just last week. And did you know that because of French and British colonists, slavery also existed in Canada, but then it was abolished in the 1830s because it’s not good? Sorry to disappoint all of you in the market for one of my people. If you’re not deterred by the supreme law of this land, also consider the tough economic times: It’d take way too many dolla dolla bills to own a Canadian, and though my readers have champagne taste, they more than likely have beer money.
Plus, it is dangerous to purchase and domesticate a Canadian only to release it into the wild when it outgrows its cage. At that point, a Canadian will have forgotten how to forage for its own food, will start rummaging through trash cans in urban areas and then authorities will have to put it down. Contrary to Google’s offensive suggestion, I cannot and will not be had for a price in life. I am a man of integrity. I am Nick Craddock, hear me roar. However, if you offer me two pieces of chewing gum (sugar-free, of course), a paper clip and a gift certificate to a Bass Pro Shop maybe we can work something out regarding potential ownership.
