SAFECATS upping efforts Program growing to prevent on-campus crime By Brian Hancock news@kykernel.com
It’s no secret that armed robberies have become somewhat prominent as of late. With five robberies reported in the past two weeks, UK students are becoming more careful in regards to their campus traveling. One form of assistance many have been making use of is SAFECATS. SAFECATS, which stands for ‘Safe And Free Escort for Campus Area Traveling Students,’ has had to step up its game in recent weeks. The Flying Wildcats Booster Club runs the program. All 140 Air Force Cadets in ROTC make up the club. The program also helps to raise money for the booster club “SAFECATS is a way for us cadets to help out and provide a safe service for students to get home,” Cadet Matthew Shieh said. The program operates from
8:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., Sunday through Thursday. Normally, there is one person on dispatch who answers phones, and two escorts who move around campus walking people home from various buildings. “A lot of times we get three to four calls a night,” Cadet Andrew Ennsor said. “Last night [September 22] we had 22 calls.” Students do not feel as safe as once before. Consequently, Safe Cats has increased its personnel. “We’ve got six escorts working tonight,” Shieh said. Shieh said they are also working on getting a second golf cart. SAFECATS currently has one golf cart in use. “We’ve recently been advertised as a bus service, which is incorrect” Shieh said. “We don’t have a bus, we have a golf cart.” Members of the Flying Wildcats Booster Club normally work once or twice a month.

In the coming weeks, SAFECATS will continue to increase personnel in accordance with demand. The program can be reached at 257-SAFE.

Fingerpainting helps UK fight violence By Taylor Spaw news@kykernel.com
UK’s Violence Intervention and Prevention Center is using art to tackle the issue of violence. The VIP Center will host mess-free finger painting on Wednesday, Sept. 29. Touch drawing consists of a Plexiglas board, ink and no mess. Becky Hill, an advocate for VIP, said touch painting can help address the sensitive issue of vio-
lence. “Touch drawing is a way for people to connect with the issue, in a less intimidating, more comfortable way,” Hill said. The workshop will start with a little music and a few prompts, then the creativity will flow. “It’s not about pretty art, but a chance to get whatever is going on in your body out on to paper,” Hill said. “Touch drawing is a way for people to go on their own journey

A new fraternity with a mission to cultivate leadership is coming to UK. This year, Beta will be welcomed as the newest fraternity to join the University of Kentucky. With a history of integrity and prestige, Beta hopes to extend their success at UK. According its website, Beta's mission is "to become the exemplary standard for all collegiate fraternal societies." With deep roots in service and leadership, the fraternity has values it takes seriously. The fraternity values mutual assistance, intellectual growth, trust, responsible conduct and integrity, a press release said. The modern "Men of Principle" leadership initiative ensures all members actually follow the parameters set up by the fraternity, the release said. A standard of accountability is present among Beta's members, who are challenged to be responsible leaders at their respective schools. This tradition of leadership has lasted for decades, starting with the founding of Beta Theta Pi in 1839 at Miami University. Since then, the fraternity has spread all around, with 122 chapters across the United States and Canada, including four in Kentucky, the release said. Beta Director of Expansion Allen Hardin believes that the word fraternity too often has a negative implication. He said when Beta looked at how fraternities acted nowadays, the organization didn’t like what it saw. "We wanted to challenge the fraternity stereotype," Hardin said. "We wanted to call out alcoholism. We wanted to call out drug use. We wanted to call out hazing." Hardin said the fraternity seeks UK’s top students. Having over a 2.9 GPA is mandatory for prospective members, but higher is preferred, Hardin said. Students interested in joining can contact Allen Hardin at allen.hardin@betathetapi.org or 513-255-1090, or stop by the Beta table outside White Hall. This information table will be up from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. every weekday until October 15.
through free art.” VIP center’s mission is to eliminate “power based personal violence” and to help with counseling for violence victims. The center hosts several workshops and training sessions throughout the year, including Wednesday’s event, Touch Drawing. The VIP Center has spread its Green Dot Program across 26 states. Becky Hill, advocate and social worker for VIP, describes
the center as “Innovative, using art as a way to support people.” The VIP Center has several programs this semester, including a clothesline project, photo journal workshop, and “Wreck This Journal.” “Each activity is meant to let people be themselves and release through art and creativity,” Hill said. “Anyone can be a part; you don’t have to be an art major to be good at Touch Drawing.”

Two UK colleges and UK Healthcare are teaming up to discuss horseback rider safety at the World Equestrian Games. Saddle Up SAFELY will be presented to the Games' participants and spectators under the UK Pavilion throughout the Games. The campaign is a joint collaboration by UK HealthCare, the UK College of Agriculture, the UK College of Public Health and 40 community, equine and medical organizations to aid in the prevention of horseback riding injuries. “Visitors will have the opportunity to gauge their safety and knowledge, chances to discuss safety issues and answer horse safety questions,” UK spokesperson Julie Meador said. In the Equine Village, during the Games, Saddle Up SAFELY is partnering with Kentucky Children’s Hospital, Safe Kids, and Equine Guelf at Equimania to perform helmet fitting clinics. These clinics will teach parents how to pick a protective helmet. The program's website, SaddleUpSAFELY.org, encourages riders to share their knowledge of safety and prevention tips with others riders. By submitting tips on how to saddle up safely, you can be entered to win quarterly prizes such as helmets, safety vests, and gift certificates. As a lifelong horse-person and First Lady of the Commonwealth, Jane Beshear understands how important the horse is to Kentucky. "As the “Horse Capital of the World,” See SADDLE on page 2

Facebook movie is something to ‘like’ I have to start with a message to my readers: don’t let predispositions deter you from seeing this film. Whether you love or hate the social and technological revolution that is Facebook, you can’t deny the immense impact it has had on the way we communicate. “The Social Network” reminds us of that, yes. But there is much more about engrossing, intelligent film that makes it a succeed. The story of Mark Zuckerberg via Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book, “The Accidental Billionaires,” will wow you. The shy Mark Zuckerberg (Jessie Eisenberg) during his pre-millionaire days is a Harvard freshman. He’s a geeky genius, but he wants to be a member of a prestigious and
exclusive Harvard fraternity. He knows he’s not getting an invite, and it makes him bitter. So bitter it drives his girlfriend to dump him. After he gets the boot, Zuckerberg makes the first move in the Facebook saga. Hacking into the university’s “facebooks”, websites with photographs of each dorm’s residents, he steals the pics and puts them on a website he makes called “Facemash.” It gets about 22,000 hits in an hour and subsequently crashes Harvard’s network. Right about here, director David Fincher (Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) starts splitting screen time between legal proceedings years in the future, a still- bitter Zuckerberg and several integral

characters. This now-and-later type storytelling creates the sense of drama before it even ensues. This task is difficult to pull off without interrupting the narrative. but it’s done well here. The network-crashing stunt gets Zuckerberg in trouble with his school, but it also gains him notoriety as a programmer. Two campus hotshot jocks, the Winklevoss twins, approach him. These two rich boys are everything our protagonist wants to be. They pitch him an idea for a
website, a kind of exclusive Harvard MySpace. they ask him to program it for them, he agrees. Did I say protagonist? It’s hard to decide at first whether or not to trust Zuckerberg as our champion, although it is easy to sympathize with Eisenberg’s witty underdog character. The short meeting between the Winklevoss twins and Zuckerberg is the last time they speak in person without lawyers present, because Zuckerberg sorta kinda steals their idea and makes “The Facebook.” The website is a hit and Zuckerberg expands, hiring his best and only friend as CFO; a friend who is also suing Zuckerberg. At its core, the story is about a Harvard outcast ge-
nius with a jealous grudge and plenty of, ironically, social ineptitude. But there’s also the dirty and complicated genesis of a $25 billion communication giant, and, of course, the other players who are trying to get a piece of the pie. In addition to the Winklevosses, one of the pie chasers is Napster founder Sean Parker, played by an energetic Justin Timberlake. Parker comes off like an older more confident Zuckerberg, and the two click naturally – causing the tension that drags best friend and CFO, Bryan, out of the picture. It’s important to note that the neither the Winklevoss twins nor anyone else who complicates Zuckerberg’s life are unlikeable charac-
ters. Really, none of the characters in the movie are unlikeable; they are human. This is a fact-based movie. It has an underlying artistic design, but Fincher has made sure not to lead us into getting attached to any of the characters. “The Social Network” is a complicated and involved film, and it might take a while for it all to sink in. The two hour film has nonstop dialogue, some of which is quite technical or legal, but it’s truly a thrill to watch it all unfold. If it’s not the subject matter that draws us in, then it’s the unforgettable characters, the well directed drama or, at the very least, the mesmerizing true story. This one’s a winner-4 stars.

Cho returns on ‘Drop Dead Diva’ Margaret Cho, who broke ground with a short-lived show about an Asian-American family, has found her way back to the medium that wasn't ready to embrace her 16 years ago. Appearing now on Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva" and ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," the 41-year-old actress whose standup comedy about her Korean family led to 1994's "All-American Girl" has returned to prime-time TV with the same tongue-incheek hilarity that has kept her in the spotlight for nearly 20 years. Cho is also back on the road with her "Cho Dependent Tour." She is as serious as she is comical, famous for addressing the pressure she felt in 1994 to adjust her weight and her Asian-ness to be more palatable for network executives and audiences. As a longtime advocate for social justice, her comedy forcefully confronts homophobia, racism and other discrimination with witty, blunt derision. She also talks frankly about sex with men and women, employing descriptive candor meant to make audiences squirm a bit. She promises more of the same, with new material about her family and living part-time in a small town outside Atlanta where "Drop Dead Diva" is shot. On the show, she plays Teri Lee, the assistant to a young attorney who shares a body with the

spirit of a dead model. But after hours, she plays Margaret, the bold advocate for gay marriage who is living in an area popular with Tea Party activists. "I guess I was put in this situation so I could write about it," she said during a recent interview. Cho has found it hard to reconcile how townsfolk can be so welcoming and gracious while still displaying "real ugliness" about gay people. "There's distrust of progressives and liberals in general," she said. Weighty social matters have long been a part of her stand-up act. She plays on stereotypes about Asian people for laughs, but is really trying to raise consciousness about a kind of racism that she believes is less blatant than what other underrepresented minorities may face. "It's more about non-inclusion," she said. "Like we don't somehow matter. I have a consciousness about race, that it is really more important to talk about it and confront invisibility. Stereotypes are preferable to invisibility." Having a stage and a microphone to deploy her brand of defiant humor is still a dream come true for Cho. "I'm lucky and love what I do," she said.

that can be taken to prevent accidents." A study shows riders with 50 hours or less of riding experience were found most likely to be injured, the program's website said. The study also recognized that the more advanced the rider, the greater the chance of serious injury, and the less likely the riders are to use a helmet. Each year, millions of
Americans enjoy horseback riding activities. Horseback riding is a popular activity for people of all ages but it has an increased risk of injury. Saddle Up SAFELY and UK HealthCare hope to make horseback riding safer and more pleasurable for all riders and equine enthusiasts not only in Kentucky, but also for the Games' participants.

Trash stinks KERNEL EDITORIAL Tailgating before a sporting event brings good times, memories, entertainment and trash — lots of trash. But convenience to hometown fans is harmful to the environment and time consuming to post-game clean-up crews. After football games, the parking lot is consistently littered with remnants of the party scene of hours prior. The thousands of cans, wrappers and paper plates scatter like leaves. The blame is on everyone. The obvious group to frame is the tailgating community. Individuals who do not clean up are responsible for the accumulation of trash, and therefore, the degradation of areas surrounding the stadium. The meager effort required to bag excess waste is indisputable. Littering is driven by laziness. Inherently, the university
needs to do a better job providing additional receptacles in heavily populated areas, so tailgaters will no longer have an excuse to continue their rotten habit. With more containers to dispose of garbage and recyclable materials, tailgaters are more likely to use them. Tailgaters will have more accountability if such depositories exist. The Sept. 20 Kernel featured “Wildcats Take Out the Trash,” a group battling trash and recycling the residue of the tailgating heyday. Groups like this should be commended. Their motivation to collect empty, flyinfested beer cans and other filth from strangers shows concern for campus. In fact, this group is one of the only UK efforts to keep a clean campus. Until one party steps up, crews working feverishly to clean the waste will continue to be in place, working tirelessly until 2 a.m. following each event.
Recent robberies debase confidence in safety Maybe Michael Mitchell had the right idea. For those of you who forgot or did not see, Mitchell is the UK epidemiology graduate student and anesthesia technician who was fired by the University in January of 2010 for having a firearm in his car. Maybe he knew something other students AUSTIN did not ever see coming. SCHMITT Safety is the one isContributing sue everyone assumes columnist will take care of itself but one nobody pays attention to until a lapse occurs. Students walk at night all the time around this campus, whether it be by themselves or in a group. Should they have to worry about being robbed? The answer is no and the answer should always be no. So why did the robberies occur? How did we get to this point? A February 5, 2009 Kernel editorial stated that this campus is safe and generally, each student would probably agree with that. But almost two years later, we are at a crossroads. Just as funding shortages hurt the education quality, funding shortages are hurting campus safety. Education and safety are two completely different issues. The mind power and innovation
of students’ brains can overcome an education funding shortage but when it comes to the lives and well-being of the students on this campus, you are rolling the wrong dice. It’s not fair for students (or their parents who pay thousands of dollars to send their children here) to have to worry about whether or not they will make it home from the library at night. You can price an education, but you can’t price a life — and that is precisely the gamble UK is taking. It’s time to step up, UK Police and Lexington Police. Focus on the safety of students, not breaking up parties at every opportunity possible. I want to see substantial change. I do not want to see a video from John Calipari telling me how to be safe. Let’s get real now, everyone loves Calipari, but for him to address the situation before the UK police is pretty sad. Although the one thing that should really make students mad is the non-response by UK Police and UK Police Chief Joe Monroe’s comment that students should not travel alone. “All of the victims have been isolated and alone,” Monroe said in a Sept. 24 Kernel article. “That’s one of the safety precautions we always recommend — that you don’t walk alone, that you don’t put yourself in a situation where you’re
going to be by yourself.” Why can’t students walk alone? This campus is a place of learning, not Gotham City. A college campus should be a safe place where students can travel with or without another individual and not have to worry about being robbed at gunpoint. I suppose the new precedent, though, is five robberies, and then it’s time to do something. Driving through campus Thursday evening, I saw the effects of this change in security, but it made me wonder, why didn’t this occur earlier? Why did it take five robberies for UK Police to evoke change? It only took Calipari four robberies before he decided it was enough. Students, you need to start asking the questions. Ask your campus police why there were five robberies before the issue was addressed. When UK alerts come out and students just brush them off, you know you have a problem on your hands. Maybe we should have taken Michael Mitchell’s actions as a warning of what was to come. He had the right idea: you can’t count on others to provide safety. After five robberies in two weeks, it may be time to start taking things in your own hands. Who can you trust? Austin Schmitt is an accounting and finance junior. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

UK doesn’t expect hangover after loss By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
Despite the losing streak to the Florida Gators extending to 24 games, the Cats are optimistic that they can forget about Saturday’s blowout. UK (3-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) can’t afford to dwell on the loss, UK head coach Joker Phillips said, with another SEC road game against Ole Miss (2-2, 0-1 SEC) upcoming this weekend. “I think they're over (the loss). I feel like they're over it,” Phillips said. “Kids get over it quicker than coaches. That's the other thing … it lasts a little bit longer for coaches, a lot longer actually than it does for players. But as soon as you touch down in Lexington, the phones are starting to blast and the headsets, (the players) are listening to Nelly and Kanye West.” Phillips also said that he reminded his players of their fast start to the season and that by winning on the road in Oxford, Miss., the chance for a “great season” is still very much a possibility.
However, when a Gators’ offense ranked 11th in the 12team SEC entering the weekend racked up 466 yards of total offense, it left some questions to be answered on defense. Specifically, the number of missed tackles in the second and third levels of the defense. “You've got to step on people's toes. We're not stepping on people's toes and running through tackles,” Phillips said. “We've got to have a couple periods just this week where we're doing some full speed tackling. We have to.” Phillips already addressed the tackling issue with his team yesterday during film study. “We missed a lot of tackles that we should’ve made,” junior safety Winston Guy said. More missed tackles will lead to more trouble for the UK defense, who have the task of shutting down Ole Miss senior dual-threat quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and junior tailback Brandon Bolden, who is averaging 7.7 yards per carry. “Masoli is a good player, he passes it and runs it just as
well, and that running back (Bolden) ran for 200-something yards,” Guy said. “That’s the thing we’ve got to stop: the run…everybody’s got to be in on the ball.” Masoli transferred to Ole Miss after being dismissed from Oregon’s team in the summer for disciplinary reasons. Phillips likened the former Oregon gunslinger to former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, not only because of playing style, but also because of his ability to lead an offense. Equally promising for UK quarterback Mike Hartline, and the UK offense, is that the Rebels’ defense has given up the most points in the SEC and lost star defensive end Kentrell Lockett with an ACL tear on Saturday. “If they’re giving up a lot of points, we definitely want to exploit that,” senior offensive tackle Brad Durham said. Even though scoring many points seems like a possibility, as UK found out last week, expectations don’t always come to fruition in the SEC.

Volleyball finishes up road trip against Tennessee By Ethan Levine elevine@kykernel.com
The Cats are headed to Rocky Top to end a three game Southeastern Conference road trip against the rival Tennessee Volunteers. The Cats split their first two matches on the trip, losing at Auburn on Friday night, but winning at Georgia on Sunday. UK (8-6, 2-2 SEC) now faces it’s toughest road test yet in Knoxville against the No. 19 Vols (10-3, 2-2). “We have no worries about getting ready for the match,” UK head coach Craig Skinner said. “We had two
great matches against (Tennessee) last year and learned a lot about ourselves.” UK began its road trip with a visit to Auburn. After taking a commanding two sets to one lead in the match against the unranked Tigers, UK failed to cement the victory, losing a heartbreaking fourth set and then dropping a dramatic fifth set that went down to the wire. The loss was a tough one for the Cats to swallow, but they tried to remain optimistic going forward. “We made way too many errors, and certainly didn’t play well,” Skinner said. “But
we were still in a position to win. That says a lot about our team this year.” After Auburn, the Cats traveled down to Georgia to take on the Bulldogs. UK seemed to be out of rhythm to start the match following the Auburn loss, dropping the first two sets and being pushed to the brink. But the Cats responded in a big way, coming back to win the last three sets and the match. “We had leads in the match and we blew them,” Skinner said. “Our starters needed to step up and they did. We changed the line up around a little by getting play-
ers like Gretchen (Giesler), Christine (Hartmann) and Jessi (Greenberg) into the match, and got the job done.” A big reason for the Cats comeback win was senior Blaire Hiler, who led the team with 18 kills and commanded the net defensively all match. “We expected (Blaire) and all the seniors to step up for us on the road,” Skinner said. “She and (Lauren) Rapp had a
big day at the net and it helped carry our team to a victory.” Now, the Cats prepare for Tennessee, who won both of the matches between the two teams a year ago. They lost at home to Tennessee in four sets when the Cats were ranked seventh in the nation, and then lost in Tennessee in five sets to end their regular season. The Cats were in contention in both matches and are certainly not intimidated by the highly
ranked Volunteers. Playing a ranked team on the road is always a challenge, but Skinner and the players are confident that they have the ability to win under the circumstances. “We have had our share of tough matches and of five set matches already this season,” Skinner said. “We just need to iron some things out in practice this week and we will be ready.”
