CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Driving service on hold for city’s evaluation By Becca Clemons news@kykernel.com
Details are still being worked through for the Student Government driving program that would provide a new service for students on and off campus. SG sponsored the program to provide students with safe transportation to and from UK’s campus and surrounding areas Thursday through Sun-
day nights from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. However, homeowners in the community have expressed concerns about potential disturbances in the middle of the night, Diane Lawless, 3rd District Lexington city councilwoman, said. “The feedback I’m getting from people is that most of them are in agreement that [the driving program] can be a good thing, but the concerns
are [about] going down residential streets that are pretty narrow anyway and stopping right by peoples’ homes every half hour from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.,” Lawless said. To address these concerns, a tour of the proposed routes is planned for Wednesday with members of the Lexington community, members of SG and representatives of LexTran, she said.

UK tries to clinch bowl versus Vandy
Max Stefka said the tour will happen in one of the actual vehicles that would be serving the routes. “I’m hopeful that the driving tour will clear up some questions and concerns different people have and possibly make some changes to the route so that it accomplishes what it needs to accomplish,” Lawless said. “And that is to See DRIVING on page 4
JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

The UK football team has a chance to clinch bowl eligibility for a school-record fifth consecutive season. This would send the senior class out on a winning note in the final home game on Saturday. UK’s opponent, the Vanderbilt Commodores (2-7, 1-5 Southeastern Conference), has a nothing-to-lose and everything-to-gain attitude as it plays out the remaining games on its schedule with no chance for a trip to a bowl game. Such a mentality means the Cats (5-5, 1-5 Southeastern Conference) can’t assume they’ll easily punch their ticket to the postseason heading into their bye week. “(That mentality) makes any team more dangerous,” UK senior defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin said. “Charleston Southern was more dangerous because they did a lot of trick plays, a hook and ladder, because they don’t have anything to lose.” UK head coach Joker Phillips wasn’t buying into the notion that Saturday is a trap game against a team wanting to play spoiler. “In this league, they’re all dangerous,” he said. Since 2000, the Commodores have posted 14 SEC wins, the fewest of any team in the SEC East, yet three of those wins have come against UK. In fact, the perennial SEC cellar-dwelling Commodores have given the Cats all they can handle in the most recent meetings of this series. “Every year they play us it seems we have a great game with them no matter the record for either team,” said UK sophomore center Matt Smith. The past seven meetings between the two schools have each been decided by 12 points or less, and the road team has won the last three meetings, including the Cats’ 24-13 win in Nashville last year on Nov. 13, when Vandy also had no postseason hopes to keep alive. UK senior wide receiver Chris Matthews said looking at the tape from last year’s game, he wouldn’t be surprised if the Commodores try plenty of reverses, screens and other trick plays this week. Phillips and his players are hoping that it takes no tricks to get back to a bowl game. See FOOTBALL on page 3

Muslim Student Association celebrates Hajj By Brian Hancock news@kykernel.com
The UK Muslim Student Association presented “The Journey of a Lifetime” Monday night in the Student Center Grand Ballroom to raise awareness about Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. “This is an opportunity for students on campus to get together in interfaith and elevate the awareness of the Muslim faith,” said Suleiman Darrat, the MSA adviser. The pilgrimage to Mecca is a religious duty which must be car-
ried out by every able-bodied Muslim at some point during their lives. Darrat said the MSA usually hosts an event celebrating Ramadan, which consists of daily fasting during the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. “In years past we have held a Fast-A-Thon,” Darrat said. The MSA normally invites students to fast all day and attend a celebratory meal in the evening. But because the Islamic lunar calendar moves up 10 days each year, Ramadan fell during the first few weeks of school this year. The students in MSA de-
cided to bypass a campus-wide Fast-A-Thon this year and held this event instead. Donations from the event went to the Kentucky Refugee Ministry. Heba Suleiman, the MSA president, opened the event with a typical Islamic greeting of, “assalamu alaykum,” meaning “peace be upon you.” The MSA was started at UK in 1971, she told an audience of several hundred people. It now consists of more than 100 active members and holds meetings every other Thursday. “We act as a learning tool for
Muslims and non-Muslims through events like these,” Suleiman said. The evening’s keynote speaker was Imam Shakir Pandor. Pandor is the Imam, or spiritual leader, of the Islamic center in Elizabethtown. Pandor spoke to the crowd of both students and community members on the process of Hajj and its importance to the Islamic community. “It’s about the journey,” he told the audience. “It’s an emotional journey." Pandor described Hajj as conSee HAJJ on page 4
Young team set to play tough schedule By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com

As UK gears up for a tough stretch of nonconference games with a young team, head coach John Calipari wonders how it all happened. “To have the youngest team playing the toughest nonconference schedule, who is the dummy that did that?” Calipari asked.
The answer, of course, is himself. And though he may not be entirely correct — UK is not the youngest, and doesn’t necessarily have the toughest schedule — the concept is correct. A squad loaded with freshmen will take on a bevy of traditionally good opponents. Sports Illustrated writer Luke Winn named UK’s nonconference schedule the second toughest in the nation.
UK plays North Carolina, Notre Dame, Louisville and Indiana for sure. The Maui Invitational adds Oklahoma to that list and either Washington or Virginia, with the possibility of meeting Connecticut or Michigan State in the final round of the tournament. Still, playing teams that, at the very least, are perceived as good teams to start the season enables UK to gauge its strengths
and weaknesses. “This is one of those teams that I look at that needs to get beat up a little bit early,” Calipari said. The players are, perhaps expectedly, averse to entertaining the notion of needing to lose. “We don’t want to lose games, obviously,” Darius Miller said. “But we know we’re playing some tough teams.” See BASKETBALL on page 3

Not so ‘Unstoppable’ There’s a train. It’s long, with lots of cars loaded with toxic chemicals. And nobody’s driving it as it hurtles toward heavily populated parts of Pennsylvania. And Denzel and Chris Pine are the only two guys who can chase it down and stop it. That’s all there is to Tony Scott’s lightning-fast runaway train thriller, “Unstoppable” — “a missile the size of the Chrysler Building” and a couple of movie stars playing working class Joes who want to save the day. And that’s enough. With Scott shooting and cutting this minimalist thriller to an hour and 35 minutes of heavy metal flying at you and the cool, collected old timer, Frank (Denzel Washington) and his distracted trainee Will (Chris Pine of “Star Trek”) jumping from one car to another, dodging hazards at rail crossings, this race against the clock works. The director of the limp “Pelham 123” remake takes a second shot at his railway movie, and this time gets it right. Frank has decades of experience, so today’s shuffle of cars here and there along a short stretch of rail shouldn’t be a big deal. But elsewhere, others with less of a professional bent have made a boo-boo. A train “got away” from them. “It got away from you?” the boss (Rosario Dawson) cracks. “It’s a train, not a chipmunk.” As the “coaster” picks up speed, a welder is sent dashing off, by truck, to track it. Alarms are sounded. The BIG boss (Kevin Dunn) gets grumpy and the observing Federal

Towns and then cities are on the tracks ahead of the “coaster.” And it’s no longer coasting. Scott’s film touches on the state of the American workplace (understaffed) and the American workforce (overworked, facing layoffs). But this is a straight-ahead ticking clock thriller, with the usual Tony S. trademarks — punchy dialogue and men doing what needs to be done. It’s not as breakneck as it might have been. There are plenty of conventional pauses in the action while Frank and Will talk about their lives, their problems. Scott gets a bit carried away with identifying every single location, overly concerned with the geography of this “inspired by true events” story. Washington and Pine have an easy rapport that makes even the soap opera elements go by easily. Mark Bomback’s script (he wrote “Live Free or Die Hard,” and the “Escape to Witch Mountain” remake) has an easy way with the jargon and a feel for the work _ “In training, they give you an F.

Calipari needs Harrellson to hit the boards By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFF
Men’s head basketball coach John Calipari during the UK vs. Dillard University game at Rupp Arena on Friday.
FOOTBALL Continued from page 1 “We’re playing to keep things going,” Lumpkin said. “(Vandy’s) thing is coming here winning and going on to the next game because they don’t have an offseason, so every game for their senior class is a bowl game now.” Injury report Senior tailback Derrick Locke (shoulder stinger), who has missed the last four games, will practice without contact until Wednesday. Doctors cleared Locke to play last week, and he was dressed for the Cats’ win over Charleston Southern Saturday.
“I was confident three weeks ago that (Locke) would play, but he hasn’t,” Phillips said. “It’s just whether or not he feels comfortable in being able to take care of himself… Locke doesn’t want to do anything to hurt this football team either. If he can’t protect the football he’s not going to play.” Linebacker Ronnie Sneed (AC sprain) will be withheld from contact all week, while linebacker Danny Trevathan won’t practice until Wednesday or Thursday for extra rest. Kicker Joe Mansour, cornerback Martavius Neloms, safety Josh Gibbs and tailback Raymond Sanders all have minor injuries and are expected back at practice later this week.
Midway through the first half of the exhibition game against Dillard, Josh Harrellson was pounding his chest. Harrellson, the (only) senior and (perhaps the only) center for UK, had just torn down three straight rebounds, and the last led to a putback, which led to the chest pound. UK will need a lot of chest pounding from Harrellson this year, and maybe some from junior college transfer Eloy Vargas, too. While freshman Enes Kanter is sitting on the sidelines because of an ongoing NCAA investigation into his amateur status, Harrellson and Vargas are the only qualified “big men” of the team. Both are going to be counted on to develop into low-post presences.
BASKETBALL Continued from page 1 Early losses could have benefits that manifest themselves later in the year. Feeling the sting of defeat relatively soon can enable a team to build off that later, when a loss can end a season. But if the losses do come early, and perhaps even often, for the newest version of the Cats? “Sometimes the only that brings about change is when you have a catastrophe,” Calipari said. “Then all of a sudden, it’s like, oh my gosh, we better change.” Calipari drew on last year’s early struggles with a freshmen-laden team. Even though the Cats won their
“(Harrellson) is playing better than he’s ever played in his life,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “And I’m asking for a little bit more.” Harrellson, who pulled down seven rebounds in both exhibition games, wants his coach to press him for his best. The Cats will need all Harrellson can give them. “I don’t want him to stop asking for more,” Harrellson said. “I don’t want to sit on the side. I can always get better.” Growing a beard seems to be one of the things Harrellson does well. He said the beard was because of a broken razor and participation in No Shave November. “Before the game I said, ‘fear the beard,’” Harrellson said. “I was just playing around.” Harrellson doesn’t do other things so well, such as alley-oops, despite being
first 19 games of the year, Calipari reminded everyone about being down against Miami (Ohio) and Sam Houston State. “Last year … I said we’re going to start off slow,” Calipari said. “We’re going to lose some games early. We’re not going to be what you think, no high expectations. “This year I really mean it.” Of course, predicting the strength of schedule comes with a caveat: the other teams are playing games, and the expected strength of a team can often differ from the actual strength of the team. Case in point: North Carolina, who was billed as a top-15 team last year before eventually plummeting into the NIT.
6-foot-10. “Yeah, he was struggling,” Calipari of Harrellson’s inability to flush the alley-oops. “I’ve seen him do it, but you’ve got to have an effort and say I’m going to dunk the ball. I’m going to go out and get this. Not that I’m going to wait.” In the overall scheme, though, these things are largely inconsequential. Rebounding and defense are vital, however, and Harrellson’s ability to do these two things remains to be seen. Harrellson said he can be “great” at both during the preseason and added that he can do more than just the dirty work in the interior. “I’m capable of being a scorer,” Harrellson said. “I’m not going to be the John Wall of the team. I’m not going to be a playmaker, but I can be a finisher.” As for Vargas, Calipari is trying to instill more
toughness in him. “I’ve got to get some fight out of Eloy,” Calipari said. “He loves the chance, but it’s not just playing. In that position, you’ve got to battle.” Vargas pulled down six rebounds against Pikeville and just two against Dillard, which doesn’t have a player listed as taller than 6-foot-8 on the entire roster. “I need to rebound the ball better and work more on boxing out,” Vargas said. Calipari said if there’s anything this year’s team is not, it’s a “beast” inside. And while UK has at times employed a smaller lineup featuring Terrence Jones at center, Harrellson and Vargas will have to contribute for the Cats to be effective. “We need (Eloy) to perform,” Calipari said. “We need him to give us a presence ... We need Josh to do the same.”

HAJJ Continued from page 1 sisting of three main sacrifices: physical, financial and a mixture of the two. A Muslim is prepared for the journey through daily prayer and annual fasting, he said. Muslims face the direction of Mecca during all five of their daily prayers. Additionally, Muslims carry out Zakah, which is an annual form of charity. The word literally means purification. The pilgrimage to Mecca itself is a combination of both sacrifices. “In essence, Hajj is a
journey of the love and obedience of God,” he said. Several UK students taking Islamic studies courses were present at the event. Many said they have gained respect for Hajj through their studies. “It’s something really spiritual because they get away from all their material possessions and get in touch with God,” said Holly Hornbeak, an architecture freshman. “I’ve come to appreciate the different spiritual journeys that people experience and the dedication that the Hajj demands,” international studies senior Sarah Woodall said.

Is prescription drug use for studying cheating? By Kathleen Megan MCT
HARTFORD, Conn. — To Bradley Spahn, it seemed like a clear case of cheating. The Wesleyan University student was assigned a 24hour take-home exam. Later, he said, nearly half the class would admit to taking socalled “study drugs” — medications like Ritalin or Adderall — to help them focus during the exam. They either took the drugs without a prescription or, if they had a prescription, took more than the prescribed dose. “It seemed pretty obvious that taking illegal drugs to help you do better on an exam is cheating,” said Spahn, now a senior. “I think it is just as serious as plagiarism.” The incident spurred Spahn to expand an effort he already had begun: trying to getting the university to classify the abuse of “study drugs” — usually stimulants prescribed for attentional disorders — as cheating. During the 2008-09 academic year, Wesleyan’s honor code review committee took up the matter but decided not to include study drugs. But the university’s non-academic code of conduct covers the
abuse of prescription drugs — along with alcohol and drug abuse. While all universities are concerned about the abuse of prescription drugs as a health and legal issue, questions about fairness and cheating are seldom raised, as they were at Wesleyan. Benedict Bernstein, a 2009 graduate of Wesleyan who as chairman of the academic affairs committee was present at the honor code review meetings, said he could not disclose the discussion but said he did not support the inclusion of study drugs in the code. “I didn’t feel that it could be prosecuted,” he said. A college might be able to prove that a student was in possession of “study drugs,” but he said it would be very difficult to prove that the drugs were used to prepare a particular paper or for a test. And then, he said, there would be more questions raised: Would it violate the honor code if a student found he or she could study more effectively while under the influence of marijuana? A statement from Michael Whaley, vice president of student affairs at Wesleyan, said
the university does not “condone any form of illicit drug use” and that there is “no reason to believe that the misuse of prescription drugs has increased at Wesleyan, but national survey data seems to indicate that such misuse is becoming a concern nationally.” Indeed, several college administrators interviewed for this story said that while the questions about fairness and study drugs have not come up in discussions about cheating yet, they expect such questions to arise in the future. Ann Reuman, an associate dean of students at Trinity College, said she could see that students without prescriptions taking “study drugs” without prescriptions might be likened to athletes on steroids. “It is an unfair advantage when someone is using these kinds of drugs inappropriately,” she said. On the other hand, she said, a student might legally consume “No Doz, Red Bull or vats of coffee” to produce the same kind of affect effect. “It would be a great thing to discuss,” Reuman said. “I would guess that most students wouldn’t consider it to be cheating.”

Fall break, split Finals Week to aid students, faculty KERNEL EDITORIAL Though college students typically believe they deserve greater breaks from school throughout the year, they may have a valid point this time. An Oct. 26 Kernel article reported UK Student Government has proposed incorporating a fall break into the fall semester schedule. The proposed schedule would also include the spreading out of final exams over a two-week period instead of the current one-week layout. If only one- or two-day extended weekends were incorporated into the fall semester, benefits would be evident. Most other institutions have already integrated such a break into their fall schedules, so UK wouldn’t be exploring new ground by doing so. For instance, Southeastern Conference school Louisiana State University enjoyed a full week away from classes, Oct. 21-25. In 2008, SG passed a bill that integrated a Dead Week into the final exam schedule, which provides for the week before final exams to be a lighter load for UK students and faculty alike. It seems SG holds the power to pass a bill of this caliber, but we still don’t know if anything will come of it. SG hopes to vote on the new fall break and split Finals Week measure by January or February. Will the anticipated change really happen? Will it help students’ productivity, as SG claims? That remains to be seen. In the meantime, students should enjoy their three-day Thanksgiving break (the result of a previous SG fall break measure). Who knows what next year’s academic calendar will look like.

Popular movies disappoint viewers, lack originality By now you know the formula that movies use; there will be explosions. And most likely, an implausible, destined to fail romance between an Everyman character and Megan Fox. The special effects will be expensive and distracting. Plot, dialogue and realism are all readily sacrificed to create saccharine, bombastic nonsense that will undoubtedly make their respective studios a ton of money. I’m not naive enough to believe that the “Golden Age” of film was perfect. There wasn’t a time when every movie AMANDA churned out by the studios was Oscar WALLACE Contributing gold. I don’t believe that the latest Saw movie was in any way inspiring beyond columnist my desire to not see it. What I do know is that once upon a time, movies that were decent sometimes actually made money, and today the exact opposite seems to be the case. Even if you don’t know their names, you are familiar
with the work of Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay, two directors whose one love is so great that they are inextricably tied; a deep love of explosions. Roland Emmerich is the director of such classics as 10,000 B.C. and 2012. Bay is responsible for unleashing a jive talking robot upon the world in Transformers 1 and 2. These four movies have grossed over $2.5 billion worldwide. Movie producers aren’t interested in making art. They’re interested in making money, tons of money. Like 2 tons of hundred dollar bills, as Avatar did in the first five days. Avatar, which is essentially a multimillion dollar remake of Fern Gully. In contrast, Rotten Tomatoes’ No. 1 most highly rated movie of 2009, a small Chinese documentary called Last Train Home, made $0.2 million in its theatrical run. Good movies are still being made, and it’s not always bad to see explosions or nudity, as long as they don’t detract from the overall substance of the film. You want explosions? Why not see the Hurt Locker, a fantastic war film from last year.
Do you want to see beautiful people being sad? Never Let Me Go, which recently played in Lexington, has Keira Knightley (of Pirates of the Caribbean fame) naked and occasionally sad. Big budget movies also aren’t all bombastic catastrophes — take the simultaneously comedic and dramatic film The Social Network. All of these movies are “good” and they’re all out there, ready to be seen. On that end, The Kentucky Theatre is the last vestige of sanity in the world of Lexington cinema, and the only place I know of where you can have a pumpkin cookie while you watch your movie. So go ahead. Spend an hour’s worth of pay to see explosions and breasts and a movie that you'll forget in a week. Go and see Saw 20, even if they stopped being remotely shocking after the first trailer. I’ll be at the Kentucky Theatre crying about the fall of modern cinema. Enjoy your explosions.

Pageant for men has new twist, same charitable outcome By Jana Milan features@kykernel.com
Dozens of college men will be strutting their stuff across a campus stage in swimwear, formal wear and in a group dance Tuesday night. Delta Zeta Sorority’s annual “Where in the World is Mr. UK Pageant” will crown its winner at the Singletary Center for the Arts. The contestants are not all Greek and are from a number of different campus organizations, according to the Delta Zeta web-
site. The men will also compete in events including a final question, a personal video and a talent competition. Delta Zeta President Amanda Marshall said this year’s pageant has 21 contestants. The pageant also has a new element to it — people can vote for their favorite competitor on the Delta Zeta website. Andrew Pillow, UK’s National Pan-Hellenic Council president who has also been a Kernel staff writer, is one of the contestants. He said he is participating because it’s a good cause. “I’m most excited for the opening dance,” Pillow said. “That’s the
part we worked the hardest on, and I think it will show.” According to the Delta Zeta website, in 2009 the pageant raised more than $9,000. Event proceeds go to the Lexington Hearing and Speech Center, Gallaudet University and the Painted Turtle, said Mr. UK coordinator Heather Ross. According to Delta Zeta’s website, the Painted Turtle’s mission is providing a year-round authentic camp experience for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses. During intermission of the pageant, sorority chapter presidents
Ensembles to perform classics famous and new By Eva McEnrue features@kykernel.com
UK’s chorale and chorister ensembles will give the campus a taste of their talents Tuesday night. The ensembles will perform the Chorale and Choristers Fall Concert at the Singletary Center for the Arts. Directed by Jeff Johnson, the event will feature a wide variety of musical styles performed a cappella, with piano accompaniment and with the Niles String Quartet, UK’s premiere string players group. The Choristers, co-conducted by choral conducting graduate students Sammy Miller and Greg Monsma, is the oldest performing organi-
zation on campus. The 80voice mixed choir consists of underclassmen representing an array of majors. The group will be singing a balance of serious and light music. “The Choristers will be performing works by Mozart accompanied with the string quartet,” Johnson said. “It is a beautiful piece and singing Mozart is not easy.” UK’s Chorale ensemble, co-conducted by choral conducting graduate student Vrock Terry, is a 50-voice mixed advanced choir consisting mainly of upperclassmen music majors. The group will perform works by J.S. Bach and the contemporary sacred a cappella piece “Stabat Mater” by Transylvania
University faculty member and composer Greg Partain. “The piece is unpublished and has been heard by very few people,” Johnson said. The evening will close with a group performance of “My Old Kentucky Home” and recognition to the graduating seniors. “Anyone who went to a high school choir concert should come to a college choir concert. The level of talent and ability is significantly different, like high school basketball to college basketball,” Johnson said. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. and a preshow performance by the student ensemble, Blue Note, will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby.

The pageant will be held Tuesday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased online or at the Singletary Center. Students can cast their votes for the winners at, (www.surveymonkey.com/s/FSN7PMH).
