After Louisville’s loss to Florida International in week two, head coach Charlie Strong told the media that he thought UK’s football team was better than his. Saturday, his team proved him wrong, defeating the Cats 24-17 in Lexington for the first time since 2006. “It’s a game we needed to win
as a statement game,” Louisville head coach Charlie Strong said. Strong’s Cardinals certainly made a statement in Commonwealth Stadium Saturday. With the score held at 24-17, UK’s offense drove down its home field and looked prepared to score the game-tying touchdown in front of its home fans. On a third down inside the Louisville 10-yard line, junior quarterback Morgan Newton
Mid-semester classes offered By Alissa Hayward news@kykernel.com
Students can now take two mid-semester courses, offering them different learning experiences and a way to get more credit hours. The College of Arts and Sciences is offering “Campus & Community” which begins Sept. 20, and “Passport to China,” which begins Oct. 4. Both classes are two credit hours. The courses begin mid-semester because “some classes may be taught better in a format other than the three times a week for 16 weeks format,” said Mark Kornbluh, the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. He said students benefit from these because it helps them “manage the toughest times of the school year by starting late and finishing early.” Students also can get more credit hours, which moves them closer to getting a degree, he said. “Campus & Community,” also known as “Community 101,” is taught by geography professor Richard Schein. The class is an “introduction to the city of Lexington, and will identify opportunities and possibilities for becoming more engaged with Lexington life,” Schein said in an email to the Kernel. The course will discuss being urban citizens and the citizens’ “obligation to the city as our home in a democratic society,” he said. Schein’s class syllabus includes lectures, panel discussions and visits to local sites including the Lexington Farmer’s Market and the Kentucky Horse Park. “Passport to China: Global Issues and Local Understanding,” taught by Keiko Tanaka, a sociology associate professor, aims to teach students to “recognize the importance of China in the global economic and political systems and appreciate the richness of Chinese traditions,” Tanaka said in an email to the Kernel.

completed a pass to freshman wide receiver Demarco Robinson for a first down. But after having the ball stripped from his possession, Robinson recovered his own fumble on the wrong side of the first down sticks, forcing a critical fourth down for the Cats with the game on the line. UK was unable to convert on fourth down as Newton overthrew a sideline pass, clinching the victory for Louisville.
“We go from having a first down to having a fourth down, and we got hit as he was throwing the football trying to convert the fourth down,” Phillips said. “Regardless of what anybody thinks, two good football teams were out there playing today, and it was missed opportunities.

Guiding Rupp Arena’s future a ‘dream’ for architect By Chase Sanders news@kykernel.com
Rupp Arena, one of the most esteemed stadiums in the nation, is going to be the center of a face-lift that many hope will revitalize downtown Lexington, and the man in charge of designing it understands he’s in charge of a “legendary” task. Recently, Gary Bates, a former UK faculty member, was selected by the Arena, Arts and Entertainment Task Force to be the master architect for the development of Lexington’s downtown entertainment district. Bates, along with his architecture and design firm, Space Group, were selected by the 47member task on Aug. 28. “It’s a dream project for our company. It’s a unique project, not just in the United States, but in the world,” Bates said. The task force, announced by Mayor Jim Gray in March 2011, consists of various leaders in the community. The main goal of the Arena, Arts and Entertainment task force is to facilitate and implement an innovative plan that will improve the Lexington Convention Center and Rupp Arena and revitalize downtown Lexington. A number of the members are UK administrators, faculty and alumni: Britt Brockman,

Board of Trustees chair; Mitch Barnhart, UK athletic director; Joe B. Hall, former UK basketball coach; Sam Bowie, former UK basketball player; and Jamal Mashburn, former UK basketball player. Michael Speaks, dean of the College of Design and a member of the task force, is pleased with the committee’s selection. “Space Group’s analysis and proposals were certainly the most penetrating and comprehensive,” Speaks said. One important quality that separated the Norway-based firm from the other finalists was its knowlBates edge about the city. “Space Group also stood out among the four finalists as the most informed about Lexington and the University of Kentucky,” Speaks said. The main reason for Space Group’s immense knowledge about the city and UK is Bates, who was a guest professor at the College of Design in 2008. “Indeed, the committee was pleasantly surprised to find that though Space Group was the only international office among the finalists, they had the best

local knowledge,” Speaks said. During the time he was at UK, Bates headed a project where students created a strategic design proposal for Waterfront Park in Louisville. He also served as the Brown-Forman Chair for the College of Design. “Teaching at UK was one of the motivations for coming back,” Bates said. “The people were fantastic.” Aside from his time at UK, Bates has other accomplishments. He graduated from Virginia Tech University in 1990, has worked on several international architectural projects (including Jussieu Library in Paris and Samsung Headquarters in Seoul), and was a guest professor at the University of Texas. The master architect is currently in the process of devising different senerios for the Arena Arts and Entertainment Taskforce. In his preliminary presentaion, Bates showed one of his alternate proposals that would expand Rupp Arena construct a new Lexington Convention Center, which he pointed out would be more economical. When it comes down it, Bates just wants to create the best plan for the people of Lexington. “We are curious about See ARCHITECT on page 2

Another Governor’s Cup has now come and gone, but it wasn’t one with a lot of positives for the Cats after they fell 24-17. Their performance was far from one that lives up to SEC expectations and backing up WKU linebacker Andrew Jackson’s comment of, “They supposed to be SEC,” during a timeout of the September 1 matchup. Saturday’s game further backed up Jackson’s comment. Drops were present early on, but as the game wore on Newton and his receivers became the focus of the UK offense. Newton set career bests in completions and yards as he went 27-of-41, racking up 255 yards and two touchdowns in the process. The Cats’ running game, or lack thereof, received no help from the mythical offensive line that so many expected to be great coming into the 2011 season. To be exact, they had 35 yards on 31 carries. After having spoken so much about running the ball this week, UK head coach Joker Phillips should feel fortunate that the passing game was operating in good form or the outcome of the Governor’s Cup could have been much worse. “Running the ball is key to winning games,” Phillips said after the game. “Look at them, they ran the ball for 181 yards, had zero turnovers and that’s the difference.” Those 181 yards helped Louisville extend the streak to 16 consecutive years in which the team with the most rushing yards was the victor. Newton’s attempt to put the ball on the ground often resulted in a sigh from the fans after he was either only sacked or threw the ball away. “I felt fine,” Newton said. “Obviously a couple of sacks, I think there were six, I just got to do a better job of getting rid of the ball.” Newton went on to add, “It’s tough any time you don’t have the running game going. It makes you a little one dimensional and that’s something we cannot be.” One of the offensive linemen who fell in line with Newton’s support was senior guard Stuart Hines. “It feels kind of like we’re on edge,” Hines said. “We’re right there, we could have had a big play, you know there’s one block that’s missed and there goes the play.” During post-game press conference, Phillips had a simple statement that told all there was for the Cats on this night. “I don’t think we played good enough to win offensively,” Phillips said. That included an unbalanced attack. “I know people want you to throw the ball all over the See PORTER on page 2

PORTER Continued from page 1 place, I would have much rather ran the ball for 255 yards and threw the ball for 35 yards,” Phillips said. “Much rather.” One of the receivers who tried to step up for the Cats was E.J. Fields, who Phillips said “took advantage of an opportunity.”
ARCHITECT Continued from page 1 everything developing in the downtown area. We have to figure out physical and social components,” he said. “The main problems he says that he faces are with parking, infrastructure and traffic.” Rupp Arena is the biggest venue made for the sole purpose of basketball in the country. “There are 24,000 people dressed in blue, in one of the most densest arenas in the United States. Rupp is legendary — there’s no place else like it anywhere, and I’m going to fight to keep that experience no matter what decision is made,” Bates said. Barnhart and Gray both said in statements made after the taskforce met with Bates on Sept. 7 that “all options are on the table” with concern to
Fields’ seven catches for 57 yards and one touchdown were all the first stats of his career. Having had only La’Rod King shine for the receiving corps, Fields proved to be a nice compliment in aiding Newton, who has received little assistance due to several drops by his receivers. With the Gators looming on Saturday, the Cats offensive flaws seem to be finding
new problems as weeks progress. Only when the offensive line is completely healthy will Big Blue Nation get a glimpse of a possibly flawless offense. As the football seasons have come and gone, the Cats haven’t been able to find success on each side of the ball and this year’s award looks to go to the defense, at least early on this season.
whether a new arena will be built or if Rupp will be revamped. Rupp’s last renovation was in 2003 at the cost of $20 million. “At this point we’re at the midpoint of the study phase,” Kevin Atkins, chief development officer for the city government, said. Atkins said there are three phases to the project: reviewing existing conditions and studies of the facilities and property, figuring out plan alternatives and a final implementation plan. “People also can’t forget that the project is not just about Rupp,” said Atkins, who is also on the committee for the Lexington Corporation. The corporation is made up of members interested in the city’s development and growth. According to project maps, the corporation owns 46 acres of real estate (including
Rupp Arena and the Lexington Convention Center) in downtown Lexington that are being considered in the proposals. Besides Rupp Arena, the areas being considered for the entertainment district range from the High, Jefferson and Cox Street parking lots to the Distillery District, old Opera House and Triangle Park area in front of the Lexington Convention Center. One of the main goals Bates has for the project is to “bring the university closer to downtown,” which is in sync with the task force’s plans. “A lively downtown area helps us attract students just as the place we play basketball at helps us attract top recruits,” Frank Butler, UK vice president for Finance and Administration, said. “Gary clearly understands architecture, but he also understands college basketball and Lexington.”

How does ‘Straw Dog’ compare? In “Straw Dogs,” opening Friday, Hollywood takes a crack at remaking one of the most controversial films of all time. A drama about a man and his wife running into trouble with the locals when they move back to her native England, the original Dustin Hoffman-starring flick was banned in Great Britain for 18 years because of the rape scene that serves as its violent centerpiece. Here, we compare — conceptually, not critically — the 1971 Sam Peckinpah original with director Rod Lurie’s version to determine whether the new one has any hope of surpassing the classic. —At home or abroad The original is set in Cornwall, England. Lurie swaps Hoffman’s mathematician for James Marsden’s screenwriter and moves the proceedings to the American South. In an age of serious cultural division in this country, we like the change, as long as the filmmaker resists easy “Deliverance” stereotypes. Edge: Remake

Show respect to all Fulbright initiative allows victims of violence German students to experience UK By Tyler Hess Contributing columnist
Does it have to be this way? A decade of disaster. A dozen dying in war daily. Does it have to be this way? Bloated budgets. Though billions for bombs. Does it have to be this way? Public schools and prison cells: overcapacity and underfunded. Does it have to be this way? A decade after the malicious murder of nearly 3,000 fellow Americans, where do we as a country find ourselves? The United States is still mired in multiple wars and bombing campaigns, though only two commonly known. The present seemingly prescribes a heavy dose of imagination moreso than reflection. Imagination allows the creation of desperately needed new possibilities, whereas only reflecting panders to present realities with past events. Let us imagine how the world would view the United States had the response to 9/11 been one of international unity, and not a bloody bonanza. Of the 34 major countries polled in late September 2001, only India and Israel favored a military response in any capacity. This should not be overlooked. The world also sought justice for the disastrous deaths of that dreadful day, just not by “neutralizing” the supposed nemesis with carpet-bombing. Imagine if the U.S. had mobilized this international consensus to bring the murderers to justice, without harming one innocent life along the way. Five similar terrorist attacks illustrate how there was indeed a definitive and plausible alternative to immediate war. Indonesia suffered its most deadly terrorist attack on Oct. 12, 2002. Suicide bombers killed 202 in Bali’s downtown nightclubs, injuring 240 people. Madrid suffered bombings in 2004, with 29 dying and 191 injured. Subway bombers in London killed 56 people on July 7, 2005, and injured more than 700. And in 2008, 10 coordinated shootings and bombings in Mumbai led to a death total of 164, with 308 injured. Perpetrators of these attacks did not become religious martyrs, but rather internationally scorned as murderers. The surviving assassins and associates have promptly been brought to trial in all four of these cases. Notably, these trials will be difficult and take time. Yet, the Nuremberg Trials set an important precedent for how to deal with such crimes. Does the extrajudicial killing of Bin Laden
make it seem that Nazis deserved more rights than terrorists? Of the five events I mentioned that necessitate a re-imagination of the American response to 9/11, the rampage in Oslo back in July is probably the freshest on people’s minds. An assassin bombed the Prime Minister’s building and then proceeded to mow down over 65 at a Labour Party youth camp; 77 was the final death count. Surely Americans mourn for Oslo’s terrorist attack victims as much as Norwegians sympathized with the United States a decade ago. But Norway, in the aftermath of such mass murder, pursued quite the un-American response. Oslo’s Mayor addressed the public the day after, saying, “I don’t think security can solve problems. We need to teach greater respect.” Though an intended victim of the bombing, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg insisted at a news conference that “the Norwegian response to violence is more democracy, more openness and greater political participation.” These statements come from leaders of a country that, adjusted for population, suffered more victims on July 22 than the U.S. did on Sept. 11. Let’s make this clear. Norway, with a population of 5 million, lost 77 people. The U.S., with 300 million, lost 3,000. This is not a game of numbers, but an analysis of responses to comparable national terrorist attacks. In the days following the attacks, what were the different responses? With the assassin in mind, did Norway begin to prey on people with blonde hair as Americans did on those with brown skin? Did Oslo create media spectacles out of Christian church buildings as New York has done with mosque constructions? The rhetorical questions could never end. As we reflect on the dead of Sept. 11 throughout this 10th anniversary, I wish to remember more than those who perished in the twin towers. Let us recall victims of senseless violence throughout the world, not just those of American nationality but of the human species. Adjusted for population, and taking the very low estimate of 110,000 dead Iraqis, the country of Iraq has suffered a “9/11” every 18 days since the March 2003 invasion. Focusing only on 9/11 will blind us from the murder committed in our country’s name. Does it have to be this way? I certainly don’t think so. Do you? Tyler Hess is a sustainable agriculture junior.

This is the reason why 25 students from Germany came here to “Discover the USA.” UK is an important partner of that cultural program because every year the Fulbright Diversity Initiative sends German students to study here for five weeks and represent Germany. On the other hand, UK students have the chance to visit Germany every summer to gain new experiences and language skills. What is special about the group from Germany is their diversity, because none of us is a real German. We immigrated to Germany from different countries like Palestine, Morocco, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, China, Spain, Congo, Romania and others. For this reason we not only represent Germany, but also our native country. “Fulbright is amazing. Every one of the 25 students speaks at least 3 languages, so multiplied by 25 there are 75 cultures combined under one umbrella. “It’s like a rainbow,” says Waqar Khan, 22, UK student and a friend of the group.

International competence has a very important role in today’s society; whether to apply for a job or just to be able to understand different cultures that surround you in our mixed world. Europe especially pays great attention to intercultural competence and exchange of the people to prevent misunderstandings and to create a more peaceful world. Therefore, the Fulbright scholarship offers young students a chance to study in other countries to remove prejudices on both sides.

the American culture and see the differences in the educational systems, but also to show the students here at UK that Germany and Europe are melting points and to get rid of stereotypes. Fulbright paid and planned the whole trip for us, so we attend a communication class especially for us and we could choose another class to take part in, and had the opportunity to take the ‘Test of English as a Foreign Language’ exam. But studying is not everything. On weekends we went on trips to places like Natural Bridge, Louisville, UK football games, a Kentucky horse farm, Cincinnati for a baseball game and the Underground Railroad museum. Ahmad Miari, 20, a German Fulbright student 2011, said, “I am so grateful for this scholarship. Fulbright gives all young people with immigration background the chance to come to America and study here without paying anything. I am very proud to call myself a Fulbright student.” Valeria Struckov is a German Fulbright student. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

FOOTBALL Continued from page 1 take it.” The normally slow-starting Cats were clicking early against the Cardinals, taking the ball from the opening kickoff and moving it down the field. Freshman Josh Clemons, the Cats’ starter at running back in Raymond Sanders’ absence, took a screen pass from Newton for 38 yards to inside the Louisville five-yard line. But after that play, the offense stalled, forcing UK to settle for a field goal, giving them a 3-0 lead early. Late in the first quarter, the Cardinals were finally able to find some traction on offense, culminating with a 38-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Will Stein to wide receiver Andrell Smith. The Cardinals took a 7-3 lead on that play, a lead they would never relinquish. The touchdown toss would also be the last pass that Stein would throw all night, exiting the game with an injury early in the second quarter. Freshman Teddy Bridgewater took over for Louisville, giving the Cats defensive fits all night. UK had spent the week preparing for Stein, a strong-armed pocket passer, to run the offense. After Stein’s injury, they were faced with the challenge of figuring out Bridgewater, a mobile quarterback as deadly on his feet as he is with his arm, in midgame. “We were thinking he was more of a wildcat (offensive system) kind of guy running, and he did for the most part,”
defensive backs coach Steve Brown said. “But he threw some good balls and to his credit he completed some.” Bridgewater finished the game 10-of-18 for 106 yards and two touchdowns, managing to move the Louisville offense without creating opportunities for the Cats’ defense to change the momentum of the game. Linebacker Danny Trevathan led the Cats’ defense with 12 tackles, his 12th consecutive game recording double-digit tackles. Senior safety Winston Guy recorded seven tackles of his own, equaling fellow senior linebacker Ronnie Sneed. Although the UK defense bent from time to time, it managed to resist breaking for much of the game, keeping the Cats’ struggling offense within striking distance. But UK’s offense was never able to strike. Clemons and backup running back CoShik Williams combined for 57 yards on 18 carries, barely more than three yards per rush. Much of the struggles in the running game could be credited to poor play by the offensive line, again playing without starting center Matt Smith and starting right tackle Billy Joe Murphy. As the Cats began to abandon their struggling running game in favor of the pass, the Cardinals’ defense caused mayhem for the offensive line and Newton. Newton was 27-41 for 255 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, his best game statistically of the young season. But the most telling number of the game was six — the number of times Newton was
sacked by Louisville’s defense. Even when he was not brought down for a loss, Newton was disrupted in the pocket, causing errant throws and busted plays. Without a presence from the offensive line against Louisville’s blitz-happy defense, the offense was never able to execute as it wanted. “We just have to focus in on what we have to do,” senior guard Stuart Hines said. “We have to focus in practice and bring that same focus to the field on Saturdays.” “I felt fine,” Newton said. “On a couple of the six sacks, I just got to do a better job getting rid of the ball. We just got to do better.” Despite the disappointing loss, junior wide receiver E.J. Fields proved to be a bright spot for the Cats’ offense. Fields recorded seven catches (at least five of which resulted in first downs) for 57 yards and his first career touchdown. While the offensive line struggled and Newton and the rest of the offense fell out of rhythm, Fields made key plays in key moments to keep the Cats in the game until the very end. “It felt really good to get my opportunity to play and make some plays on third down, and then the touchdown,” Fields said. “But it’s a little bittersweet because we couldn’t come away with the win.” For UK’s seniors, Saturday’s loss to Louisville marks the only defeat to their bitter in-state rival in their UK careers, something that cut deep into some seniors emotionally. Senior defensive back Randall Burden said the loss is one

Latino Festival heats up downtown Lexington By Kayla Pickrell features@kykernel.com
Fireworks lit the sky at the 11th annual Festival Latino de Lexington. The Festival began Friday and ended Sunday. Students and citizens of Lexington came together to celebrate the Latino culture Friday at “La Noche Tropical.” Saturday night, also named “El Mercado,” allowed for those who missed Friday to experience the entertainment and culture. Sunday’s “Health and Sports Family Day,” was at Masterson Station Park. “I really didn’t know anything about the Latino culture, but the festival truly enlightened me and gave me an idea of a culture that is considerably underestimated,” Hassan Alomran, a computer science sophomore, said. Samantha Michaelis, a biology sophomore, went Friday night and said she didn’t think that many people would
be there. “I was expecting it to be a smaller event, but when I arrived there were tons of people,” she said. The Festival highlighted the band Grupo Fuego, which played Latino music and showed synchronized dance moves. The Salsa Center also gave performances from their beginner’s course featuring a salsa mix by Michael Jackson’s “You Rock My World.” The men dressed as the King of Pop and the women dressed in black and red salsa outfits. Booths lined the Robert F. Stephens Courtyard Plaza as individuals of all cultures celebrated Hispanic Heritage Day. Dresses, handmade hats, sweaters and bracelets were some of the many things being sold. Hispanic Heritage Day was created by President Lyndon B. Johnson to show the Latino contribution on the United States. In 1988 it became a month-long cele-
bration, starting Sept. 15. “The people were really connecting and showing respect, while having what seemed to be the time of their lives,” Alomran said. To the right of the stage, aromas filled the air from numerous food booths selling churros, fried bananas, mango on a stick, asadas, tamales and authentic Latino food that was prepared as customers watched. “I believe that this event showed a side of Lexington that I have never seen, and that I now love,” Michaelis said. Not only was it an environment for adults, but it was also suitable for children. There was a small stage to dance on, a small area to play soccer, and children had a chance to blow bubbles across the courtyard. “You will definitely be seeing me at next year’s festival,” Alomran said, “and I hope that other cultures would be considered in events similar to this one.”
Lecture series explores diversity By Luke Glaser lglaser@kykernel.com
When Sarah Jones, director of engaging issues for the UK Student Activities Board, attended a training session for FUSION, she did not expect to do some self-examination. However, she had never met Judy “JJ” Jackson, UK’s vice president for institutional diversity. Jackson facilitated FUSION training and spoke to leaders about diversity. “Diversity can tend to have a negative connotation,” said Jones. “She made us think about its impact on our lives.” That is precisely why Jones chose Jackson to appear in SAB’s Final Word lecture series, which allows UK faculty and staff to share advice and experience about some of the many facets of life. Jackson will again focus on social change through diversity, and SAB hopes that she impacts all students the way she impacted Jones. “We want something inspiring,” said Vanessa Omeokachie, a SAB committee chair for engaging
issues. “We want people to not just say (diversity), but to incorporate it into their everyday lives.”
if you go What: Final Word with Judy Jackson When: Monday at 8 p.m. Where: Young Library auditorium Admission: Free
Jackson became UK’s first vice president for institutional diversity on July 1, 2008. She advises President Eli Capilouto on all academic, fiscal and administrative policy decisions regarding the university’s diversity goals and on active community involvement around diversity issues. She is responsible for promoting collaboration among faculty, staff, administration and students for UK’s diversity goals. She also holds a tenured associate professorship in the College of Education.
In other words, Jackson is no stranger to the issue of diversity. “She is a very prominent person on campus,” said Omeokachie. “UK is not as diverse as we should be … we’re hoping she will help us understand what it means to be diverse.” The Final Word lecture series will be in the W.T. Young Library auditorium at 8 p.m. Monday. With John Legend coming to campus in October, SAB wants Jackson’s speech to catalyze a period of social change through diversity, and how it affects lives our leadership. “We want students to walk away with a renewal,” said Jones. “I hope they walk out of there with a real sense of how (diversity) impacts our lives and our ability to lead.” Omeokachie realizes that diversity can be an uncomfortable issue, but that is a good thing. “I want (students) to leave more informed. To be diverse you have to be able to explore beyond your comfort zone,” she said.
