Hartline suspended for bowl game By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Senior quarterback Mike Hartline has been suspended for UK’s bowl game on Jan. 8 against Pitt, UK head coach Joker Phillips announced at practice on Saturday. “Mike Hartline will be suspended for this game, which is his last game,” Phillips said. “Mike Hartline has had a good record here
conduct-wise, and I regret that this happened, but it did. I really hate that it happened because of what he’s done for us this year, leading this program to our fifth-straight bowl. He’s done a great job at that. But we have clear expectations for our players, how we want them to act, how we want them to behave. Therefore, we’re going to suspend him for this game.”
Hartline was arrested on charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and failure to notify address change to the Department of Transportation at 3 a.m. Friday, according to a police report. A lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf during his arraignment Friday afternoon. “We’ve got 120 guys on our football team, and the vast majority of the time, our guys

are doing what they’re supposed to do,” Phillips said. “However, when something like this happens, we have to hold them accountable.” Hartline addressed the team Saturday morning after being informed of Phillips’ decision. The suspension leaves sophomore quarterback Morgan Newton as the No. 1 quarterback for the bowl game, but redshirt
freshman Ryan Mossakowski will have the opportunity to win the job before the bowl game. “I’m happy about the opportunity,” Newton said. “I’m not necessarily happy about how it happened, but I guess you have to seize the opportunity.” Newton posted a 5-3 record as a starter last year when Hartline was injured,

MOVING ON UP
Pay less now or get money back later?
Indiana close to becoming team of old
By Garrett Bonistalli news@kykernel.com
Selling back textbooks bought from earlier in the semester has traditionally been an early Christmas gift to some college students. This year, however, fewer students may be doing this because of the option to rent. Renting textbooks has been spreading nationally, and UK’s campus is part of the new trend. All four major bookstores near campus give students the option to rent their textbooks instead of buying them. When renting textbooks, students save upfront by paying nearly half the price they would if they had bought them. “I would say the main benefit is the cash involved, the transaction is less,” said Chris Laurence, Kennedy Bookstore assistant manager. “But (students) have to keep in mind that 16 weeks later, they won’t get any cash back. They forfeit that by paying less on the front end of the transaction. Renting depends on the student’s desire. Some want to save up front, some want to get money in the end to buy.” One UK student added to that idea. “I think it’s great because a lot of my professors don’t even use the textbooks that are on the syllabus,” political science senior Steve Smith said. “So it saves me a lot of money in the long-run because renting can be about half

those baskets.” Until the run, the game was closely contested the entire way. UK had a couple spurts that didn’t materialize into running away with the game, which had eight ties and 12 lead changes as both teams battled for control of the game. And then suddenly, UK was pouring in points and Indiana was not. “It’s heartbreaking, when the other team comes down and makes a hard shot or an andone,” senior center Josh Harrellson said. “That’s definitely a backbreaker, hurts your team morale, and we took advantage of that and kept going.” Liggins provided much of the energy for the run, on both the offensive and defensive end. He scored 10 points in that span, but was also making hustle plays on the other end, pulling down rebounds and collecting floorburns almost as often as he was getting points. “When he picks up his intensity and he’s aggressive, it feeds over to the other side of the court, and that’s him attacking the basket and getting fouled and getting to the line,” Brandon Knight said of Liggins, who finished with career highs of 19 points and nine rebounds. But the career highs, while he was proud of them, were just extras to Liggins, who has created a persona for himself with the defense and
After Friday’s practice, UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari joked about ending the series with the ever-improving Indiana Hoosiers next year. He seriously might want to consider this option, because for 30 minutes of basketball, Indiana looked like a Bob Knight-led Hoosiers team playing tough and seemingly not intimidated by a hostile road environment. UK’s final 19-point margin in an 81-62 victory on Saturday was deceiving considering the game included eight ties and 12 lead changes. Indiana showed it was closer to returning to the glory days of Hoosier basketball and closing the dark chapter that was opened by former Indiana head coach Kelvin Sampson, now an assistant coach with the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks and who can’t coach in the NCAA again until 2013. What this means for UK, winners of three straight and nine of the last 11 in this border rivalry is that it might actually become more of a rivalry in the not-so distant future. “I knew (Indiana head coach) Tom Crean would have his team ready, would exploit every weakness we’ve had because he’s a great coach…We won this game on a four-minute stretch,” said Calipari, whose team closed the game on a 25-5 run in the final 8:04. “Short of that, they played us, they exploited our weaknesses and they made plays. As I looked at it, I was just shaking my head.” The Hoosiers helped contribute to their own demise by being held without a field goal for roughly the last nine minutes of play and not getting to the free-throw line as often as Crean said he would’ve liked. Sure, the Hoosiers lost steam in the final stanza of the game, but considering the past two season they’ve been running on fumes, this game indicated a marked improvement. Sampson left the storied Indiana program decimated following his dismissal for major recruiting violations. When Crean began his first season, the 2008-2009 campaign, he had only two returning players—a little-used scholarship player and a walk-on—after four players graduated, four players were dismissed, two players left for

Swift, striking hand motions and furious high-spinning kicks define the martial art of Taekwondo. Many students may not be aware that UK has a club Taekwando team. Taekwando is the traditional Korean national sport and is highly practiced throughout the world. Translated to English, Taekwondo means “the art of kicking and punching.” The sport has multiple forms and ways of practice, one of the most common being known as sparring. Sparring is a one-on-one, open-floor fighting event and one of the principle ways of practicing Taekwondo. Darvin Ngo, president of the Taekwondo club at UK, has been practicing the sport since middle school and has achieved the level of black belt. “I’ve gained a passion for this martial art, especially sparring,” Ngo said. Tiger Kim, a Taekwondo grand master, began the club at UK in 1990 while a graduate student. Kim graduated from UK with a doctorate in political science in 1995. Kim also has taught political science classes at UK and remains the head coach of the club. See TAEKWONDO on page 2

It started with a DeAndre Liggins threepointer that ignited a crowd waiting for a breakthrough moment. It continued with a Brandon Knight threepointer, one in which Terrence Jones raised his hands before the shot was even hoisted, giving UK an 11-point lead and busted the game open. And it ended with two Liggins free throws that capped a 25-5 run over the last eight minutes of the game to give No. 17 UK (7-2) an 8162 win over Indiana (7-2). “We had that one stretch, and that’s basically all it was,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “We had a five-minute stretch where we stepped it up and we played.” UK’s defense clamped down at the end of the game and tilted the outcome in the Cats’ favor. After Indiana made half of its shots in the first half, the Hoosiers shot 9-for-26 (34.6 percent) in the last period. That included just one field goal in the final 9:42, a way-too-late layup with 38 seconds left in the game. “It will always be a combination,” Calipari said on whether it was UK’s defense or Indiana’s missed shots that created the run. “You step it up a little bit, play a little harder, the game gets a little tense, we make some baskets and start separating, and then they have to make

TEXTBOOKS Continued from page 1 the price that buying is. “Plus, there are times when you try to sell your book back, and you can’t even do it because a new edition is coming out the following semester, so you’re stuck with it.” Sometimes, students may be forced to buy books because not every book is available for rent. “A lot of books have software with them, and you can’t rent it,” said David Wade, Wildcat Textbooks general manager. “If something has a code in it, it’s a one time user deal, so something like that you can’t rent. And we had a lot of classes that were continuation, so you wouldn’t want to rent those.” The number of textbooks rented compared to textbooks sold wasn’t as high as
Wade expected. “The first year is kind of a pilot program,,” Wade said. “We selected around 100 titles ... It’s not as many as I thought it might be, probably 5 percent.” Some students may feel it can benefit them to keep a textbook as a resource, especially when it involves their major. “I rented all my textbooks that weren’t for my major this last fall but bought all the ones that were, because I feel that I will still reference them in the future,” said Scott Dvorak, a decision and information sciences junior. For students who rented textbooks and will need to return them this week, the process is simple. “Since this is the first time, we haven’t really gone through a cycle yet because we have nothing to gauge it against,” Laurence said. “It should be clear though, students bring in their book and they’re on their way.”

Former princess moves to HBO LOS ANGELES—Carrie Fisher played Princess Leia Organa in the first three "Star Wars" movies. You know it, and she knows it, and she knows you know it, and that will bind you as long as you both shall live. Possibly you also know that she is the daughter of the actress Debbie Reynolds, and less probably you may know that she is the daughter of the singer Eddie Fisher, beFisher cause you are less likely to know who Eddie Fisher was, as much of a pop star as he was in his day. "If my life wasn't funny it would just be true and that is completely unacceptable," Fisher says near the top of "Wishful Drinking," a taped performance of her still-touring one-woman show (also adapted to a book), which comes Sunday to HBO. Show business warped her life from her first breath, as she tells it, with doctors and nurses so bedazzled by her famous folks that "when I arrived I was virtually unattended. And I've been trying to make up for that fact ever since even this show tonight is a pathetic bid for the attention that I lacked as a newborn." (Her father, who died in September, was still alive when the show was taped.) Title aside, beyond an opening ("Hi, I'm Carrie Fisher and I'm an alcoholic") and a few stray nods ("You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well, I took masses of opiates religiously"), this is not a memoir of substance abuse. Fisher's main subjects are her parents (living in individual clouds of pixie dust), her own relationships (marriage to Paul Simon, parenthood with a talent agent who left her for another man), her mental health (she suffers from bipolar disorder) and, inescapably, "Star Wars" and all that

it has given to and asked of her. "My stunning layered nuanced performance," Fisher says here of Leia, in the ironic voice she favors. That likeness has been molded to, among other things, a Pez dispenser and a (presumably unauthorized) sex doll, and it follows her to this day: "She used to be hot, now she looks like Elton John," she reads of herself, and recalling the figure she memorably cut in "Return of the Jedi," observes, "I did not realize that when I donned that ... metal bikini back when I was 23 that I had made an invisible contract to stay looking the exact same way for the next 30 to 40 years. Well, obviously, I've betrayed the contract." Brief interpolated film clips including home movies of a teenage Fisher as a drama student in London ("the only unexamined time of my life") and an interview in which she describes her hallucinations to Diane Sawyer help fill out her earlier selves. With her delivery pitched to the back of a theater, Fisher can be broad, but that is also the person she plays now: a little larger than life, worn but not worn out. She's funny as an actress, and as a writer makes memorable phrases: "The secret handshake of shared sensibility" (to describe her connection to Simon); "Things were getting worse faster than we could lower our standards" (of its deterioration); "Celebrity is just obscurity biding its time." This is not one of those emotional journeys in which the teller comes finally to forgive herself and the world and we get out our handkerchiefs. Craziness is Fisher's baseline "Wishful Drinking" begins and ends before the image of a padded cell and clarity the thing she buys with comedy. Life will kill you, she seems to say: You might as well laugh.

Recently, Kim opened his own Taekwondo academy in the Palomar Center in Lexington. Although Kim’s studio is
relatively new, Lexington Family Magazine recently named it the best martial arts school for 2010. Ngo encourages all newcomers to experience the sport. “I believe someone new should check out the sport if they want to gain flexibility and also be able to throw
kicks and practice self-defense,” Ngo said. “Since we have few members, it is always great to have new people come and check out the sport.” The club hosts open practice every Tuesday and Thursday beginning at 6:30 in Alumni Gym.

One word, infinite uses
On, to the next one LETTER FROM THE EDITOR My flight is booked and my leather travel journal is waiting patiently by my suitcase. I can already hear the bandoneones leaking tango ditties, and I can feel the tannins of a rich Malbec dancing on the tip of my tongue. My mind has checked out and flown to Argentina, although I don’t physically leave until the first week of February. Before I depart, I leave a final ink stain on the Opinions page before the transition to the next era of the section. Next semester, the clever, yet quiet, journalist, Shannon Frazer, will manage the Opinions Desk. I had the pleasure of working with her this semester, and I know she will bring new ideas to the page and compelling conversations to campus. As always, I encourage you to stay opinionated and keep writing. The Opinions section may be tucked away behind news, sports and features, but it has the power to make changes in our society and bring awareness through new perspectives. This semester alone, we heard from writers far and near, with topics ranging from Egyptian elections to Quidditch, from the right to carry arms to gay rights, and from the Ground Zero debate to the immigration dispute. Only a few short months have been a testament to the melting pot of opinions, experiences and people that comprise this university. For now, I need to go where the coffee is stronger and the weather is milder. I’ll be developing new thoughts and opinions abroad — and I’ll be reading Kernel Opinions.

SHANNON FRAZER, Kernel cartoonist
A farewell to Kernel writing, UK When my mom and I came to Lexington for our first visit to UK, it seemed like it was the millionth tour we’d been on, but I immediately felt at ease because of the warmth of the people we encountered. I still remember the kind smile and the “Welcome to Lexington, I’m glad y’all are here” we received from a man we asked for directions to the Visitor Center. KATIE Now, four years later, the PERKOWSKI kind people like him in LexingKernel ton and the places they’ve columnist brought me to have helped me make the city my home and grow into the person I am today. During the tour that hot day in July when we walked past what I didn’t know was the journalism building, its curved staircases in the front immediately attracted me. Little did I know just how many hours I would spend in that building in the years to come. I avoided going down to what I now refer to as “the basement,” my entire freshman year because I was too nervous. Later, when my journalism class required at least two publications, I nervously walked into the Kernel one Friday afternoon with a “story idea.” The thennews editor, without whose patience I would never have had the courage to keep coming down to the basement, instead of laughing at my idea to do a profile on White Hall Classroom Building’s mail room, encouraged me and gave me different angles to try. Even though that story never ran, the fact that someone was willing to encourage me to pursue my ideas and later assign me other stories when my first one was a flop, is the reason I continued to write. She is not the only person without whose encouragement I wouldn’t have been able to grow in my time at UK.
There’s an office in the first floor of the journalism building where I, along with numerous other journalism students, have had a few nervous breakdowns in front of our journalism professor. Without the constant guidance, patience and kind encouragement from my adviser (the same one whom when I e-mailed him that I was having a hard time with something called me even though he was away at a conference to make sure everything was OK), I would have probably lost my sanity. There’s a beautiful house at 238 E. Maxwell St. where I’ve had the privilege to live and where I’ve met some of my best friends. And there’s a “mom” who lives in the back apartment, where she’s let me vent to her about problems and has made me terrible-tasting, but healing, cups of tea when I was sick. This same woman is coming to my graduation. There’s a scar on my ankle I got when hopping the barrier to rush the field after the glorious game when UK beat No. 1 LSU. I still get the chills when I look at it. There’s an office in the Main Building where I had the privilege of meeting UK President Lee Todd. Hearing him talk about his visions for his university was inspiring because everything he said, he said so genuinely. I’m lucky to have gone to a school with a president who cares so much about not only his alma mater’s future, but also his entire state’s future. And finally, there’s that basement in the journalism building where I’ve spent countless hours trying to write about things that matter. I’ve shed tears and sweat in that basement, and without the teamwork and patience of our hardworking staff, I wouldn’t have learned a thing. I hope I have inherited the friendly and hardworking spirit of the people I’ve met in Kentucky. A thousand times over, thank you, and I’m happy y’all would have me.

One three-syllable word is all it takes to describe the complexity of life and the relative insignificance of our ‘plans.’ Inshallah. In Arabic, the word means “God willing,” but one doesn’t have to be religious to appreciate its significance. Yesterday, I visited my Iraqi refugee family CASSIDY and heard their converHERRINGTON sation freckled with InKernel shallah’s. I asked my columnist refugee “mom” why this is, and she replied, “because nothing is promised.” Last week, my professor Terry Anderson had similar advice on the last day of class. “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans,” Anderson said. And Anderson should know best. After seven years in captivity, he is a living testament that our lives are not entirely in our own hands, although we prefer to think so. Inshallah is more than an illustration of fate or life’s unpredictability; it is also a combination of worlds. It has emerged from the lips of U.S. troops abroad, after days, months and years of war and its consequential cynicism. In 2007, Cullen Murphy, editor-atlarge for Vanity Fair, wrote in the American Scholar that even Bob Dole and John McCain have slipped the word into their speech. “It is neither optimistic nor pessimistic,” Cullen said. “It is the opposite of can-do.” Inshallah is the opposite of our aggressive founding values. Rather than the ideology that we can dictate and slave over our fate, Inshallah says, “it’s out of our hands.” So, our national attitude has taken a turn. Recent events, such as the recession, unemployment and ongoing wars have deducted from a previously exceptional, egotistical outlook. Truly, nothing is promised. There is a time to be skeptical and cynical, but more importantly, there is always a time to be appreciative and gracious. Because every day, every cup of coffee and every news article is a gift. The semester has finally ended, and now I can finally get some well-earned rest. Inshallah. Cassidy Herrington is a journalism and international studies junior. E-mail cherrington@kykernel.com.

New faces at practice A pair of new assistants were at practice Saturday morning. Steve Pardue, former head coach at LaGrange High School, and Rick Minter, previously the linebackers coach at Indiana State, were both present. Phillips couldn’t confirm their hiring because UK’s policy dictates that jobs must be posted for one week before they can be filled. Pardue will likely be named the running backs coach following the departure of Larry Brinson, and Minter is expected to fill the vacancy left by Chris

BASKETBALL Continued from page 1 floor dives. He said those aspects of his game were better last year, though, and he’s looking to return to form. “(Calipari) told me, this is what you do, this is what people look at,” Liggins said. “If you don’t do this, you might as well find a job.” For Harrellson, the candy canestriped pants Indiana wears during warmups must have been a welcome sight. Harrellson had 14 points and 12 rebounds, his second-highest point total in his career, right behind a game two years ago against the Hoosiers. “My first game that I ever had a good game (for UK) was against Indiana,” Harrellson said. “I knew if I could do it once I could do it again.”
Half of his rebounds were on the offensive glass, part of UK’s 18-6 edge at rebounding its own misses, which led to a 21-4 advantage in second-chance points. “We prepared all week for how good Harrellson was on the backboards, and as much really as we prepared for anybody else on their team,” Indiana head coach Tom Crean said. The “Big White Kid,” as Calipari said an NBA friend referred to Harrellson as, also had a couple of breakthrough moments. He attempted the first four fouls shots of the season (and made all four). He also had two dunks, including an alley-oop, which ignited to the crowd, his team and himself, and pleased his coach. “What I said to him, you dunk every ball, I don’t care if you miss the dunk,” Calipari said. “All of a sudden he dunks two and everything is different.” Follow Aaron on Twitter @KernelASmith.

Naturally, since Crean’s hire, Indiana hasn’t necessarily been in the discussion in a national context, but hey, a 16-46 record through his first two seasons in Bloomington is a fair enough reason for the lack of Hoosier-centered chatter. At 7-2 this year, the Hoosiers seem to be a program on the up-and-up as they continue to restock the pantry with talented recruits. Cody Zeller, brother of North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller (who shredded the Cats a week ago) and the 20th-ranked prospect in the nation according to Rivals.com, could have been

Minter will also likely be the co-defensive coordinator for the Cats with incumbent Steve Brown. Phillips and Pardue have forged a close relationship as Phillips has heavily recruited players from LaGrange, including Wesley Woodyard, Braxton Kelley, Demoreo Ford, Qua Huzzie, Randall Burden, Joe Mansour, Mychal Bailey, Tristian Johnson and others. Minter hired Phillips as wide receivers coach for Cincinnati in 1997 during his 10-year tenure as head coach for the Bearcats. Phillips spent two years on the staff. He also served as defensive coordinator for Notre Dame from 2005-07.
Porter asks for release
used Saturday to slow down UK senior forward Josh Harrellson, who registered his second career double-double in the win. For the Crean, the difference is not limited to the talent he is bringing into the program but the change in mindset from when he first took over. “Well, they believed they were going to win and I guarantee that as much as we as coaches believed we could win, and as much as we tried to get them to believe they could win, when you see what it looks like (that helps),” Crean said. “That (pumped up) locker room before the game is a locker room I want to get used to. It’s what I’m used to as a head coach, it’s what I was used to as an assistant coach.” UK junior guard Darius Miller said he hopes Indiana
gets back into the national spotlight to renew this rivalry. He noted that the process has already begun. “I think (Indiana) has gotten better every year,” Miller said. “They played us tough last year and they played us tough today…you can obviously tell they are going to get better and get back to where they were.” Who knows? The Hoosiers might be one final stretch away from completing their return to prominence. “We did things today that we certainly haven’t done before in our time here,” Crean said. “But there are certainly things that we have to do more of as we continue to get better.” Nick is a journalism senior.

Freshman defensive tackle Elliot Porter has asked for and been granted his release. Porter, a Louisiana native, arrived at UK just before fall camp started after being released from his university scholarship at Louisiana State when the Tigers had signed too many players. He redshirted this year, and was said to be battling homesickness last week while pondering his future with the Cats. “He wants to get closer to home, that’s understandable,” Phillips said. “I feel for him and the situation that he was put in, but he came here, gave it a chance. He just feels like he just wants to get closer to his family.”

Unexpected run ins with Frigid finals tradition ghosts of relationships past returns for fifth year By Laura Formisano features@kykernel.com
It’s probably happened to everybody at least once. You’re at the gym or sitting at a stoplight, or perhaps even partaking in some post-finals celebration, when the crowd parts. A spotlight beams down, and there he or she is — your ex. You were not expecting to see him, but here he is, in the flesh, making your life miserable. Christmas is around the corner, so I will dub this situation, encountering “ghosts of relationships past.” The reemergence of a past relationship in the moment you least expect it can really rattle your cage, or just kind of irk you. It can dampen your workout or ruin your night, putting a sour taste in your mouth. I have had several “run ins” here and there, and they’ve ranged from slightly awkward to severely catastrophic. With winter break and old friends and foes alike rolling into town for the holidays, run ins and unexpected visits are bound to happen. Whether it’s a Christmasthemed throw down back in the ‘burbs at the parents’ house or a holiday get together at your place,
a slightly awkward meeting under the mistletoe (and after a little too much eggnog) may inspire some holiday cheer and some severe regret in the morning. How do we avoid these ghosts of past relationships and put them to rest? The question of how to get over past relationships and what the adequate amount of time allotted to grieving is a tricky one, since there isn’t a rule book for these type of things. I was frustrated recently because something from the past had been bothering me more than usual, and not only was I upset by the recent resurgence of my pesky feelings, but I was also annoyed by the sheer fact it was still bothering me. My “ghost,” so to speak, had reared its ugly head and was sticking around. So what can you do to avoid these ghosts? Throw yourself into last minute holiday shopping and the intricate wrappings of presents, or avoid social situations altogether? I do not want to run into someone from my past when I’m just trying to get my cardio on at the gym and am drenched in sweat. (I’m sure the sight of me like that would make anyone reconsider their prudent decision to

blow me off). But you can’t live like a hermit for the entirety of break; friends are in town and new presents are to be shown off. Yet then again, you don’t want to be haunted by the ghosts, either. So, what to do? I’m still figuring out the answers to these questions. I sometimes think when people say you can’t outrun your past, they obviously haven’t tried to run fast enough. Maybe we should change our mindset on the “ghost” issue and not think of these people and relationships as haunting us, but rather as reminding us: reminding us of what went wrong and how we can do better. If you decrease the level of stress placed on the issues, then perhaps the issues themselves decrease. Maybe the answers to all the things we wonder about our “ghosts” will never present themselves, or at least won’t present themselves in a way we typically expect. Sometimes, acceptance, rather than understanding, is the way to go.
Brace for the cold and take off your clothes. This Wednesday will mark the fifth annual Undie Run. The Undie Run is a student-organized event, which involves stripping down to your skivvies and running across campus. The Undie Run takes place on the Wednesday of Finals Week in both fall and spring. The clothes participants shed are donated to charity. “You take them (clothes) off and donate them to the Undie Run,” said Evan Morris, the Undie Run founder. “As soon as the run is over, the clothes will be donated to Helping Through Him at Southland Christian Church.” “I ran the Undie Run two years ago in December,” said Lloyd Smith, a 2010 UK graduate. “We also brought our house dog, Beefers, along and outfitted him in some men’s briefs.” The number of participants varies from the December Undie Run to the spring Undie Run, because of the cold weather. “I was freezing at the beginning, but after a quick warm up lap and the run I felt pretty warm,” Smith said. A warm up lap around the library will begin at 11:50 p.m., then at mid-
night the run itself will begin. The students will run from W.T. Young Library through the middle of the sorority houses, and through the sidewalk that runs between the President’s Mansion and the Fine Arts Building. It continues to the Patterson Statue outside of the Patterson Office Tower where runners take a break and take pictures, then take the same route back. The number of students who participate in the December Undie Run is usually between 150-200 people, but last spring more than 400 students participated. Morris said the Undie Run has two main purposes. One is for students to take a break from the stress of finals, and the other is to donate clothes for people who need them. “I started the Undie Run because I felt that UK didn’t have many traditions that students did consistently, so I decided to make one,” Morris said. “I plan on being the Bill Kneightly of the Undie Run. Hopefully when I’m 70 years old the Undie Run will still be around and I can sit on my motorized cart and still be a part of it.” Any students wanting to participate should meet the group at the W.T. Young Library by the Rose Street entrance Wednesday before 11:50 p.m.
