S. Limestone will close for pep rally STAFF REPORT The portion of South Limestone Street between Avenue of Champions and Maxwell Street will be closed from 6-11 p.m. Friday evening for “Rally Time on Lime,� a pep rally sponsored by the South Limestone Merchants Association. The rally, which is designed to help people get excited for the UK football game versus Louisville on Saturday, will be from 7-10 p.m., said Chrissie Tune, senior marketing specialist for UK Parking. South Limestone will be closed for the extra two hours to allow for time on either end of the event, Tune said. The merchants association was created two weeks ago, said Tom Behr, owner of Pazzo’s Pizza Pub. He said the What: Rally Time on Lime idea for the pep When: Friday at 7 p.m. rally originally Where: South Limestone, came from Kip Cornett, the between Avenue of president of Champions and Maxwell Cornett Adver- Admission: Free tising, which does some advertising for UK Athletics. Cornett approached UK Athletics with the idea as a fan. Behr, Cornett and Seth Bennett, owner of Two Keys Tavern, worked together on the rally. Behr said about half of the merchants on South Limestone are aware of the association, and by next week he hopes to have all of them involved. The merchants association has worked with both UK and the city government on planning. He said UK had concerns about safety, and still do, so they will see how it goes. Behr expects several thousand people to attend and hopes it goes well so they can have future events for basketball or football games. “We’ve gotten tremendous response,� Behr said. He also said with more businesses now on Limestone, “it feels like we have a college strip of places to go to.� According to an email alert from UK Parking, people who travel around or park on North Campus should expect heavier-than-normal congestion during the event. Those attending the rally may park in UK Parking Structure No. 5 beside Kennedy Book Store on South Limestone. The garage will be open for parking from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. The street closure will not affect Cats Cruiser bus routes, but Lextran’s Colt Trolley will have modified service.

The week 3 Edge: Governor’s Cup Phillips has advantage over Strong in coaching matchup By Ethan Levine elevine@kykernel.com
Breaking down the key matchups in the 24th edition of the Governor's Cup rivalry between UK and Louisville on Saturday. UK running back Josh Clemons vs. the Louisville run defense Following Thursday’s practice, UK head coach Joker Phillips announced that starting running back Raymond Sanders will be out for a handful of weeks with a right knee injury
suffered in UK’s win over Central Michigan last week. Sanders had arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday morning, forcing him to watch the Louisville game from the sidelines. The starting running back job is now bestowed upon freshman Josh Clemons, UK's leading rusher through the first two weeks of the season. Clemons has 25 carries for 165 yards and two touchdowns, including a UK freshman record 87-yard touchdown run against Central Michigan. But thus far in his collegiate career, Clemons has never been asked
to carry the workload as the primary back in Phillips’ offense. Louisville's defense won't make Clemons’ job any easier. Despite posting one of the poorest pass defenses in the nation, the Cardinals’ run defense has excelled in 2011. In their first two games, the Cardinals have allowed just 94 rushing yards a game to their opponents. Last week in a loss to Florida International, Louisville allowed just 45 yards rushing to the Golden Panthers’ offense. Led by senior linebacker Dexter Heyman, who leads the team in tackles, Louisville's de-
fense has the ability to cover the field from sideline to sideline. UK’s banged-up offensive line will have to establish a push up front early in the game against the Cardinals if Clemons and UK is to have any hope of running the ball. To do See EDGE on page 4
Visiting students from Germany attend first ever football game By Sean LaPlaca news@kykernel.com
A group of visiting scholarship German students experienced their first UK football game last Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. Valeria Struckov, Buket Celik and Samet Akyazi had only seen a football game in the movies. “The culture on Kentucky’s
campus is very unique because everyone believes in tradition and wears blue and UK gear,� Struckov said. Struckov, who is from a small village called Lachendorf, said she was intrigued by the fans’ passion and devotion to the sport. “The best moment of the game was the opening,� she said. “Everyone standing and singing the anthem, soldiers car-

Friends of Coal will be the “signature sponsor� of the football game against Louisville this Saturday. The organization aims to inform Kentuckians about the coal industry, and the $85,000 agreement is funded by the Kentucky Coal Association. While the contract is set, opinions vary. Lane Boldman, publicity chair for the Cumberland Chapter of the Sierra Club and a Lexington resident, said she thinks this move is counter to college policy. “It’s clear that the coal industry has won the favor of the campus,� Boldman said. “There is a difference between being a good corporate citizen and using PR to look like See COAL on page 2

SG leaders lauded for their transparency
Psychology gets No. 1 rank By Justin Richter news@kykernel.com
Budget passes smoothly, even with $25k cut By Amelia Orwick news@kykernel.com
UK Student Government unanimously passed its budget on Aug. 31 for the 2011-12 school year. SG will continue to fund student services such as Tally Cats and Cats Cruiser. However, the budget contains many alterations from last year. One of the most notable changes is a cut of more than $25,000 worth of presidential discretionary funding. SG President Micah Fielden said he cut the fund to “allow the senate as much oversight of where the money is going” as possible. “Instead of giving me the power of putting it in places, it gives senators a chance,” he said. Though he decreased the fund, Fielden said the it still has $20,000 for expenses that come up in the year that aren’t originally budgeted. He said he didn’t want to disguise anything. “This is great because it shows that (Fielden) is being more transparent by wanting the students to know what he is spending his money on,” said Eli Edwards, a College of Education senator. Senators were pleased with how efficiently the process was carried out, especially when compared to years past. “Last year the budget process did not run
smoothly at all,” Edwards said, “which led to a two-and-a-half-hour long meeting filled with debate and amendments to the budget, which were either defeated or vetoed.” Jordan Plamp, a College of Business senator, agreed that the efforts of Fielden and Vice President Nikki Hurt have paid off. “Micah and Nikki put forth a lot of work to be transparent. Students should know that, as Student Government, we are all looking out for their money and making sure it is used correctly,” Plamp said. Fielden created and presented the budget to the Senate at the Senate retreat, Edwards said. Fielden took senators’ comments into consideration, presented the final budget and it was passed at the Aug. 31 meeting, he said. Fielden also said executive salaries were decreased from last year. “We felt they were a little high,” he said, and that they weren’t an appropriate reimbursment for their time. The executves include the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff and the Wildcat Interest Group coordinator. The positive dynamic among the Senate and administrators has left many hopeful for a successful school year. “I'm very happy with the budget and how smoothly this administration is working with each other,” Plamp said. To request a copy of the budget, email SG adviser Todd Cox at todd.cox@uky.edu.
UK is No. 1. Due to the amount of quality publications produced, the clinical psychology department has achieved the highest ranking in the nation. The clinical psychology program was ranked No. 1 in h-index in a study by Leslie Morey, a Texas A&M psychology professor.

eBay, MLB support cancer charity WASHINGTON — Starting Friday, a major promotional effort will be unleashed by Lucasfilm, eBay and Major League Baseball to support the cancer charity Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C). The promotion will coincide with the launching of “Star Wars: the Complete Saga” on Blu-ray. SU2C was established by the Entertainment Industry Foundation in 2008 to raise funds to speed up collaborative cancer research emphasizing getting the treatments to patients as swiftly as possible. The website says that 100 percent of public donations “will go directly to cancer research.” On the Internet, the “Star Wars” YouTube channel will have a video, “Use the Force for Good,” where celebrity supporters encourage donations by recreating classic scenes. Among the actors are comedians Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, Seth Rogen and Emma Stone. This month, Major League Baseball will be promoting “Star Wars” themed nights at various ballparks which include costumed characters and exclusive T-shirts. To check on

clinical psychology program director, about the h-index ranking system. “If you publish research that nobody ever cites, you never really have a good impact on events or people.” The two areas in the psychology department are clinical psychology and lab, or researching, psychology. The department studies and publishes information ranging from mindfulness to the effects of alcohol on an ADHD individual, to general personality disorders, Smith said. “We are a very productive department,” Richard Milich, a psychology professor, said. “We are good across the board and that’s why we score well,” Graduate students, as well as professors, get to publish their research and
one.” UK spokesman Jay Blanton said the sponsorship is not going against university policy. “Sponsorship of an athletic event does not mean endorsement of a product or philosophy by the university,” Blanton said. “Sponsorship simply means that the entity purchases time and access to the audience at the event.” With the political involvement and controversy of the subject, Boldman sees it differently. “It concerns me that they’re being this aggressive,” she said, “What will the industry gain?” Bill Bissett, the president of the Kentucky Coal Association, said the association wanted to sponsor this particular game because of the in-state rivalry. “We as an industry need to communicate with the population centers, Lexington and Louisville,” he said. Bissett said the association hopes to send the message that “4.1 million Kentuckians benefit from lowcost electricity thanks to coal production,” also adding that half of the proceeds from the 43,000 Friends of Coal Kentucky license plates will be given to UK students pursuing a career in coal-related fields. While Boldman said she
findings. “All the publications I’ve had have been working with professors. They provide us support and we do the research and data,” said Walter Roberts, a graduate student and research assistant. “It’s refreshing to collaborate with professors,” Roberts said. “From experience, I think it’s more productive to collaborate with each other.” The study ranking schools according to h-index wasn’t the only study in recent history in which UK has prevailed. UK received No. 1 in a 2008 study by the State University of New York at Stony Brook. It measured schools on what they have actually done, not on their reputations, Smith said.
the popular sports are soccer, handball and volleyball. Overall, Struckov, Celik and Akyazi agreed that the UK football game on Saturday was an amazing sporting experience and that they would go to another game in the future. The students, who are with the Discover UK German Fulbright Diversity Institute, leave two weeks from Sunday.
and the Sierra Club fully support the coal mining jobs and economy, she said this is a big public relations move. She noted the continuing problems with acid runoff and problems with the burning of coal. “Other campuses are retiring their coal-fired power plants,” she said, “The university has an old one that should be retired.” UK has also accepted funds from Big Coal to build what will be named the Wildcat Coal Lodge, a move that prompted the renowned Kentucky writer, Wendell Berry, to pull his papers from UK archives. The building will include an exhibit on “the importance of the coal industry to the commonwealth of Kentucky.”
Allie Kleinhenz, a nursing senior, said there shouldn’t be a controversy. “At football games, they advertise for so many things, Kleinhenz said. “I think people are looking to have political arguments over it, but (the coal companies) do a lot for us.”

iPhone application leads to UK ticket sales another campus theft solved letter to the editor
discriminate against part-timers
This afternoon I went to purchase a student ticket for the UK vs. University of Louisville football game. I waited in line and walked up to the counter. They ran my student ID and denied me a ticket because I am “only a parttime student.” ONLY a part-time student. I swallowed my frustration, thanked the man, clenched my fists and trudged back to my car so I could get ready for work. I am in the first semester of my fifth year at UK. Throughout my time at this university, I’ve spent MATTHEW my money, I’ve gone to class, I’ve STALLINGS participated in campus events and mostly had a good time doing it. Now, in my senior year, I only need a few credit hours to graduate. Ergo, to balance my work schedule so I can pay bills, I am attending as a part-time student. In a perfect, more logical world, had the gentleman behind the counter told me that since I was a part-timer I would have to pay 10 dollars instead of 5, I would have chuckled and said “no problem.” After all, my friends and girlfriend are attending the game so what’s an extra 5 bucks? Instead, I get to watch the game from my living room couch. I don’t feel the need to quote the absurd number of dollars I have spent and continue to spend at this university. Every student has to deal with his or her own financial situation. But after four years of homework, work, all-nighters and proverbially “bleeding blue” all over my bank account, being denied student admission to my own school’s football game against an instate rival, for lack of a better term, royally pisses me off. I’m a student here. I’m spending a lot of money. Now my school is going to try to make me line up and buy a general admission ticket like I go to Louisville. I’m disappointed in you UK. VERY disappointed. Matthew Stallings Integrated strategic communication senior
There are times when I am very thankful for our campus media, especially the Kentucky Kernel. On Wednesday evening after attending a class in the Seaton Center, I discovered my iPhone had been stolen from my bag in my locker. Just two weeks earlier on Sept. 1, the PHILLIP Kentucky Kernel pubHABERMANN lished a story about Contributing the “Find My iPhone” application and how columnist it assisted a group of students whose items were stolen while they were playing soccer on Haggin Field. After reading the story in the Ker-
nel, I thought it might be a good idea to install this application just in case I ever misplaced my phone. I never thought I would be using it to track a thief or that I would ever be a victim of theft. When I realized my phone was gone, I initially thought I might have just left it at my desk without realizing it. I went back to my cubicle in Parking Structure No. 2 and when my phone wasn’t there, I logged into me.com, the web application Apple uses to locate devices, and located my phone near Woodland Park. I immediately called UK Police and an officer was dispatched to my location while I guided UKPD over the phone. The thief was apprehended in what seemed to be about 20 minutes, and my iPhone was recovered. I would definitely recommend anyone who owns an
iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2 or later to install the Find My iPhone application just in case you ever really need it. If anyone, student or staff, needs help finding, installing or configuring this application on your iPhone 4, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or Facebook and I will be happy to assist you. I truly believe that if I had not installed this application on Sept. 1, my phone would be gone and I would have never found it. Thanks again to the Kentucky Kernel and to UKPD for the all the hard work they do to keep both students and staff safe and informed about current events and issues on and around campus.

Original ‘Space Marine’ reports for duty It is a cliche in gaming these days that all first and third-person shooters feature bald space marines. Relic shatters that cliche with “Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine,” featuring a space marine with hair! All joking aside, Relic brings the original space marines from the “Warhammer 40,000” universe into the thirdperson shooter realm after a long successful ZACH bout with the “Dawn of WALTON War” real-time strategy Kernel series. columnist Some gamers might be concerned by the “Warhammer 40,000” brand as it is an old tabletop game with a lot of inside lore behind it. I went in as a relative newcomer to the lore and came away with a great experience. The game tells a story that is self-contained within the game’s world without needing any prior knowledge to enjoy it. With that being said, fans of the “Warhammer 40,000” games will get
numerous references to past characters and factions in the universe. The player takes on the role of Captain Titus, leader of a small group of Ultramarines. It is their role to wipe out the army of orks (note: this is the correct spelling of ork in this universe) that have invaded the forge world. What happens next is what I can really summarize as “Gears of War” meets “Dynasty Warriors.” “Space Marine” is a third-person shooter with a wide variety of guns that help the player kill numerous ugly orks with the utmost brutality and efficiency. While “Gears of War” has a much praised cover system, “Space Marine” ditches the cover system for a “Dynasty Warriors” style melee system that features the infamous chainsword and thunder hammer. This allows for the most brutal of any game in recent memory, with especially fantastic execution moves that are the only way to restore health. You read that right, the only way to restore health in “Space Marine” is to stomp an ork’s head in. Anybody who has played any shooter from the past five years will be able to
instantly pick up the game and enjoy it. The reason it elevates itself among its peers is that it does not hold itself down with trying to tell any kind of special story, even though the story in “Space Marine” is quite good. “Gears of War 2“ flubbed with its horrible scene that was supposed to make gamers cry. “Space Marine” is just pure, unadulterated fun and it never tries to be anything it’s not. While some may complain after years of being pampered with multiple game modes and multiple maps, the simplicity of the “Space Marine’s” multiplayer makes it that much more enticing. There are no killstreak perks or superfluous addons that try to enrich the experience. When it comes down to it, all of “Space Marine” is just fun. It’s a love letter to what gaming is supposed to be about. We can argue all we want about games being an art form or the educational benefits of games, but at the end of the day gamers just want to be entertained. “Space Marine” has enough entertainment value to bring down an ork and relish chaos marine invasion at the same time.

Keeping it all in check Equipment manager is part of football team behind the scenes PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFF
Myles Poole, an equipment manager for the football team, hasn’t missed a home game in 21 years. Myles Poole is part of a busy team each fall, but he doesn’t mind the work. It’s the opportunity to be involved with the sport he loves that motivates him to help the UK football program. Poole is entering his fourth year as equipment manager at UK. Helmets, cleats, jerseys and setting up drill programs are just a few of the responsibilities given to Poole throughout the season. Balancing his job and schoolwork is difficult but rewarding. “During a typical week, we are here at 6 a.m., preparing for practice and setting up everything for the players and coaches,” Poole said. Poole is a part of a team behind the scenes, one that employs 16 other equipment managers just for football purposes. Two managers are assigned to each position group on the football team to help with practice drills. Poole was designated this year to help the linebacker core. One drill in particular is called the Buck drill, which uses a long pad
on a sled that simulates fighting off an offensive lineman. “It makes it easier on the coaches if we have the drills set up for them, so they can step right in and coach,” Poole said. Being a senior and having worked with UK football going on four years, one of the perks is attending road games. Poole has two on the radar this fall. “Honestly I’m looking forward to our trip to Baton Rouge,” Poole said. “Also, I am excited about Georgia and experiencing ‘between the hedges.’ The Southeastern Conference has very passionate fan bases.” Other advantages include being reimbursed for time spent working at the football complex. Partial room and board, along with tuition coverage are rewards for upperclassmen who stick with UK football throughout their collegiate career. Poole was not able to play big time college football out of high school, so he came up with a different strategy before entering UK.
“I told myself that if I can’t be on the field, I wanted to be on the sideline,” Poole said. This move has been a wonderful decision for Poole, who will have spent all four years helping UK football while finishing up a degree in kinesiology. Having “blue in the blood” has been a long tradition for Poole’s family, even with Louisville roots. According to Poole, his parents never intended on their son missing a game or being a Cardinal supporter. “My parents have had UK football season tickets since the 70s,” Poole said. “I was at my first UK game when I was four months of age. I have never missed a UK football home game in 21 years.” Savoring his senior season is high on the agenda for Poole. It appears that he has enjoyed his stint so far with UK football. “It’s a family atmosphere around here and everyone is really nice,” Poole said. “It’s a privilege to get to know the coaches and players on a personal basis.”

EDGE Continued from page 1 so, the line will once again have to make it work despite injury problems that have plagued the unit since training camp. Clemons has shown the ability to turn ordinary runs into big plays, but with an injuryfilled offensive line in front of him, an inexperienced stable of backs behind him on the bench and a strong Louisville run defense in across from him, his new job will be made that much more difficult. Edge: Push. Clemons will have a handful of exciting plays, but over the course of the game he will be limited by Louisville's defense. UK head coach Joker Phillips vs. Louisville head coach Charlie Strong Phillips and Louisville head coach Charlie Strong have more in common than most think, despite coaching opposing forces in this bitter rivalry. The two African-American coaches hired in the same year to coach the two biggest football programs in the
state previously worked as coordinators in the SEC. Both Phillips, a former UK player and offensive coordinator, and Strong, former Florida defensive coordinator under Urban Meyer, understand the importance of Saturday's matchup. “There won’t be any surprises,” Phillips said in his weekly press conference Monday. “Like I say, it’s an in-state game that will be old-fashioned, no surprises, just two teams that will try to bloody each other's nose.” Edge: Phillips, thanks to the experience on UK's roster. No one on UK's roster has ever lost to Louisville, while no one on Louisville’s roster has ever beaten UK. That advantage in experience will give Phillips the edge in this coaching matchup. Overall edge: After slow starts by both teams in 2011, football fans in the Bluegrass could be in store for one of the sloppiest Governor's Cups in recent history. But both teams will enter the game with something to prove and will play on another level due to the magnitude of the rivalry. UK has the edge at home by the narrowest of margins.
