Cats limp into bye week after 54-3 loss UK offense inept again, gains less than 100 yards By Ethan Levine elevine@kykernel.com
UK arrived in Columbia, S.C. looking to back up its defeat of the South Carolina Gamecocks from a year ago and to end its recent threegame losing streak. By the second quarter, it was apparent that neither would happen, as the Cats found themselves outplayed and outmanned on their way to a 543 defeat. The story from Saturday’s game was the inability of UK’s offense to do anything on offense. The numbers speak for themselves — 96 total yards to South Carolina’s 639, including just 17 yards passing, six first downs and six turnovers. Junior quarterback Morgan Newton was 4-of-21 passing for all 17 passing yards and an interception. Newton was benched again in the third quarter in favor of Maxwell Smith, his third straight second-half appearance in relief of Newton. Smith, however, did
not wow anyone on the field either, going 0-for-3 with interceptions on each of his first two pass attempts. Smith was removed after three series and Newton was reinserted into the game. Wide receiver Matt Roark, whose one pass attempt came on a gadget play with hopes of catching the South Carolina defense off guard, was the only UK passer on the day not to throw an interception. Defensively, the Cats’ defense shut down South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore early, but with the offense unable to remain on the field to give the defense a rest, the Gamecocks continually handed the ball to their factor back to the tune of 22 carries for 102 yards. The surprise of the game offensively for South Carolina was quarterback Connor Shaw, who had struggled in his only start of the season in week one against East Carolina. Against UK, Shaw was 26-of-39 for 311 yards and four touchSee FOOTBALL on page 2

Student’s best friend Campus groups pair students with service dog to train, raise By Nini Edwards news@kykernel.com
Students on campus are finding that training a service dog is a rewarding experience, but also a full-time job. “I feel what it is like to be a parent,” said Brooke Valliere, an arts administration senior who is training a dog this semester. Training dogs has been something that Valliere has always wanted to do, and when she found out about 4 Paws for Ability, a group where students train and socialize certified service dogs for children with disabilities, she discovered how connected trainers become with their dogs. Valliere has been training her dog, Luna, since Labor Day and will have her until finals week. This is her first dog she has trained. “They are as hard as puppies,” Natasia Lind, an animal science sophomore, said. “When at home, you are
training them as if they are regular dogs.” Lind, also a part of 4 Paws for Ability, got involved when she was looking for clubs on campus. She had to wait until she moved out of the dorms to get started, but said it was easy to apply. “You have to be serious about training the dog,” Lind said. “You are not just getting a new puppy.” Another organization on campus, Wildcat Service Dogs, was founded in February of this year and has students raise service dogs as well. Each student interested in training waits a semester before receiving a dog. In the semester prior to receiving the dog, students have to take classes to make sure they know what they are doing. Applicants attend handling and evaluation meetings along with a socialization outing with the dogs. With Wildcat Service Dogs, the dog stays with the owner for three semes-

Taking care of a dog can be a sudden surprise to other students. “A lot of people ask why I have a dog,” Valliere said. “Or people just stare.” Despite the looks, many students are unaware that the dogs are in training and treat them as pets. “It is not against the law if people come and pet the dog, but they are working and are in concentration.” See DOGS on page 2

United Way campaign underway By Anna Harris news@kykernel.com
United Way’s annual campaign kicked off Oct. 1 at UK with the hopes of raising $450,000. Every year, United Way partners with more than 80 local nonprofit agencies to improve lives across the Bluegrass through 250 programs and focused initiatives. The campaign will run through the month of October. Last year, UK faculty and staff contributed more than $428,000 to the United Way of the Bluegrass. Dan O’Hair, the dean of the College of Communications and Information Studies, is the co-chair of this year’s campaign. “I got involved because I believe in what United Way does: improving health, education, economic development and basic services for those in need,” O’Hair said. “The campus campaign is important because UK is a large part of our local community and we should want to
be supportive of our neighbors.” United Way strives to help communities come together and address issues that affect everyone. Donated money is invested in local programs that are proven to make communities stronger and safer, including after-school programs for children, job training for adults and other programs used to provide people with basic needs. Heather Saxon, the director of Marketing and Communications for the College of Communications and Information Studies, is a cabinet member involved in the campaign, and represents the college. The cabinet is composed of campaign coordinators for each of the different colleges or organizations involved. “They have tons of wonderful programs that a lot of people don’t even know about,” Saxon said. “There are some students who wouldn’t be on our campus without See CAMPAIGN on page 2

Student wins prestigious clinical lab award
LGBT groups to recognize national day

One UK student who signifies UK’s core values will receive a national award in October for her work in Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Scottia Miller will receive the G2 Excellence Award on Oct. 21. Each year, a student is given $5,000 to “further the education” in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, according to the Lab Institute. “The criteria for submission is a worthy student, an individual who has achieved or demonstrates a high level of knowledge, motivation and drive for educational excellence in clinical laboratory sciences, and a student who could develop into a future leader,” according to the website. Miller, who is originally from the Bahamas, has a passion for research, which began in the 11th grade. She said her passion is for research that helps make the hospital more efficient. “Clinical Laboratory Science is all about emersion of blood work,” Miller said. Miller will attend a three-day conference Oct. 19-21 in Arlington, Va. The Washington G2 Intelligence conference is one of the largest Laboratory management conferences in the country. At the conference, she said she is looking forward to meeting the various CEOs that will be speaking and attending events about lab work. She said she is excited to receive the G2 Excellence Award. “Medical laboratory is a great program for any freshman to look up if there is any interest,” Miller said. “It is a prestigious program. Miller plans to enroll in Graduate School, and said she wants to be an “influential leader in blood work.”
National Coming Out Day is Oct. 11, and this week will be one of the busiest of the year for Lexington’s LGBT community, which is among the largest groups of its category in the nation. Local groups are teaming up to host their second annual Coming Out activities, taking place Thursday on the Student Center lawn. “Basically, if you’re supportive of our community or are new to campus and would like to become involved or supportive of us, it’s a great event to come out to,” Laura Evers, co-president of the UK Gay-Straight Alliance, said. The main feature of the event is a giant door, through which both open and closed members of the LGBT community can literally and figuratively “come out.” Also included will be free food, courtesy of UK catering, face painting, and information tables with representatives of various local LGBT

membership and support organizations. These include the university’s OUTsource and OUTLaw programs, as well as the Lexington Gay and Lesbian Services Organization and the AIDS Volunteers of Lexington. “It’s pretty last minute, but we’re asking as many groups to come as possible,” Evers said. However, their faith in the organizations attendance is well placed. The Gay and Lesbian Services Organization’s mission is to stay “dedicated to serving the GLBTQQA community with support and all services free of charge to all,” according to the group’s brochure. Though they didn’t count the number of people last year, Evers said “it was a pretty decent crowd.” The LGBT groups both inside a part of the university and throughout Lexington hope to improve this year by getting more people to come to this event and spreading awareness about the groups.

Student ticket lotteries allow for group sign-ups UK to hold 3 distributions, 4 lotteries for tickets By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Getting student basketball tickets will work similar to last season, with the addition of group registration. Tickets will be distributed seven times this year: three distributions (first-come, firstserve) and four lotteries (which now include the new group registration). According to UK, these are the key components of the student lotteries (full instructions for how to set up and join a group can be found online at kykernel.com): • An ”Online Group Registration Window” will occur beginning a week before each lottery. • You will have the ability to register online as a group. • Students should log-in to their student ticket account and set up a group to enter the online lottery. Once the leader has created a group, they can share their group information with other students, who can
then join that group. For basketball lotteries, groups are limited to four students. Individuals wishing to enter alone should create a one-person group. • After the online group registration deadline, the UK Ticket Office will conduct a random draw to select the winning students. Each group entry will have an equal chance of being selected. • The winning students will be notified via email from the UK Ticket Office. • ONLY these winning students will be eligible to attend the Monday night lottery at Memorial Coliseum. • The actual lotteries will remain on Monday evenings at 9 p.m. at Memorial Coliseum. Doors will open at 8 p.m. Note: The first lottery is on a Tuesday night. • On lottery nights, winning students should enter the Coliseum via the front doors on Euclid Avenue to receive their lottery number. • Lottery numbers will be distributed in groups of 100.
• When your lottery number is called, each group will be directed to the ticket office to purchase tickets. If you want to buy Erupption Zone tickets, you must choose them for each game you are buying. Students may not select Erupption Zone for some games and regular seats for others. • After each lottery, unclaimed tickets will be sold the following morning (based on availability) to students who were not selected to attend the lottery. A lottery will be held for the St. John’s/North Carolina/Chattanooga group of games, and then three more times, starting with the Louisville game on Dec. 31 and continuing throughout SEC play. The three distributions are for three groups of non-conference games and are firstcome, first-serve at the Joe Craft Center box office. Tickets will be $5. A full schedule is pictured to the right.

‘Real Steel’ wins box office LOS ANGELES — George Clooney will suffer a blow from an imposing robot at the box office this weekend. “Real Steel,” a PG-13 action film starring Hugh Jackman, is expected to collect around $30 million in U.S. ticket sales upon its debut, according to several people who have seen prerelease audience surveys. Disney and DreamWorks, however, are expecting a softer opening of $23 million to $25 million. Either way, that should be enough to crush the other new film in wide release, the Clooney-directed political drama “Ides of March,” which also stars the actor and will probably gross around $11 million. Set in a futuristic world where robot boxing is a popular sport, “Real Steel” has been marketed largely as an exciting sci-fi film even though its plot also centers on a troubled fatherson relationship. The Shawn Levy-directed picture is based on a 1956 short story called “Steel,” which was turned into an episode of the “Twilight Zone” television series. The film was produced by DreamWorks for about $110 million and is being distributed worldwide by Walt Disney Pictures. This weekend, the movie — which has earned middling reviews — also opens in Russia and Australia, the country from which Jackman hails.

“Ides of March” co-stars Ryan Gosling as an ambitious political operative whose belief in a liberal presidential candidate (Clooney) is tested in the midst of a critical Iowa primary. Adapted from Beau Willimon’s off-Broadway play “Farragut North,” the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in August and has received solid critical notices. The movie was financed by Cross Creek Pictures for about $12.5 million and is being marketed and distributed in North America by Sony Pictures. Clooney and his partner Grant Heslov’s company Smokehouse Pictures produced the movie, the first to be released through a two-year deal with Sony that began in June 2009. Sony is expecting the film to perform similarly to the 2007 drama “Michael Clayton,” starring Clooney as an attorney trying to redeem himself. That picture opened to $10.4 million in wide release and ultimately grossed $93 million worldwide. In limited release, Variance Films is debuting the Jackie Chan historical drama “1911” in 31 theaters this weekend. The movie, also codirected by the Hong Kong action icon, opened in China last month behind two American films, “Sanctum” and “Drive Angry 3D.”

these programs.” Over the next three weeks, UK United Way cabinet members and department solicitors will be handing out pledge forms to UK faculty and staff. All employees who make a donation to the campaign will be eligible for a campus-wide prize drawing. They will draw prizes at random on Oct. 18 and Nov. 4. Students can also get involved with the campaign. There are countless volunteer opportunities throughout the month at the different events hosted by the campaign. More information on volunteer opportunities is available at uwbg.org. “It is great to see the entire UK community come together to work towards a common goal and support a program that has such a large impact on the Bluegrass,” Saxon said.
Katie Skarvan, founder and president of Wildcat Service Dogs, said. “People love (my dog), Snowball,” Lind said. “Strangers walk up to me that would normally never talk to me.” However, one student had a different experience when she was assigned to do a class project with a trainer and her dog. “When we all met at the coffee shop, the dog was rambunctious and playful,” Katelyn Tyre, a family and consumer science education senior, said. “But she calmed down and stayed still until we were done. It was odd at first, but I forgot she was there after a while.” Working through the puppy stage is worth it for the many trainers who are given the opportunity to train. Both organizations have a graduation ceremony where the trainers can say goodbye and the dog goes to its new family. “I don’t know how I am going to say goodbye,” Valliere said. “But I get to meet the family that my dog is going to, so that is the most rewarding experience.”
FOOTBALL Continued from page 1 downs. South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier seemed to have revenge on his mind coming off the first loss of his career at the hands of UK last season. Spurrier left his starters in the game for much of the second half despite the result seemingly already hav-
ing been decided, and instead of kneeling to end the game he elected to call a run inside the UK 10 yard line. The Gamecocks would score on that play, extending their lead to 54-3 to end the game. After the blowout loss, UK now heads into a muchneeded bye week and then returns home for its homecoming game against Jacksonville State. During the bye week, UK head coach
Joker Phillips and his coaching staff will have to reassess the team’s offensive struggles and find a way to provide the defense with some relief to the tune of a more functional offense on the field. Whatever Phillips and his staff decide to do, they will need to do it over the bye week if UK wants to remain in contention for the program’s sixth consecutive bowl appearance.

American economic system values profits over people
UK Athletics’ censorship hinders public knowledge The issue with UK Athletics barring the Lexington HeraldLeader from future interviews with a basketball player isn’t about the reporter, and it isn’t about the player. Yes, the Herald-Leader should have handled the situation differently when it decided changing an interview question was necessary for context. An editor’s note could have explained the change or given the reader background so that no change was necessary. But UK’s response addresses a problem and leaves room for clarification. Many of the fans who agreed with UK’s decision accused the reporter of having a negative tone in the interview or rebuked him for criticizing UK in the past. Journalists aren’t fans. That goes against their job description. So does being negative for the sake of being negative. When a reporter breaks news that doesn’t paint the best picture of a program, fans won’t always like it. And if all media eventually get censored, fans will be stuck reading press releases. While UK can take away interview access, doing so publicly is clearly an attempt to express that it has the upper hand. And the further the athletic department closes its doors, the more watereddown the public’s knowledge of the program will become. As the largest public university in the state, UK should be promoting openness, especially for the sake of its thousands of students, employees, alumni and fans.

To the gentleman who yelled “get a job” at me while I was protesting Wall Street yesterday: I do have a job, thank you – two jobs, in fact. I also go to school full-time. There was a time when I didn’t, though; I was unemployed for nine months once. I lost my job while Bush was in office, and a month after my wife, stepdaughter and I moved into our first home. Two months later, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, then my health insurance dropped me and my medications went from $20 per month to $200 per month. You see, my body does not produce insulin, therefore I will die without my medication. My wife, who does fairly well with her job as a hairstylist, had enough saved and was able to keep the roof over our family’s head. When it eventually became clear that I was not going to find a job before my unemployment and our savings ran out, I decided to enroll in graduate school; partly to ensure a job in the future, but mostly because I needed the health insurance and loans that school provides. In order to keep our home, pay my medical bills and save some small bit of money before our second child is born, I must work 30 to 40 hours a week as a manager at a local restaurant and substitute teacher while also taking out my full share of student loans. My wife also works around 40 hours a week, on her feet, while carrying our second child. It is a shame I am not as fortunate as you, dear sir, with your newly washed sport utility vehicle and freshly pressed suit. I suppose from your perspective it is my own damn fault to be where I am, but I was much like you once. I too worked in insurance and financial services. I too imagined having a fancy car and nice clothes. But our economy crashed. I was new to the financial industry and lost my job because I wasn’t bringing in enough new clients to invest their money with us. Everyone was understandably frightened by the falling market in 2007 and was more interested in holding on to their money for fear of the crash to come. I didn’t expect to end up where I am. I was a bit more optimistic then. I truly didn’t understand how an intelligent person with a liberal arts degree and extensive experience in management could eventually be struggling to feed himself and his family. But we live in a system that values profit over people; a system that won’t insure me because they know I require routine medical care and will probably die before I am 60 years old; a system that requires my family and I to go into debt so that I can eventually make an honest living; a system that values war over education, Wall Street over Main Street, building factories in China over building bridges in America. We belong to a system that benefits the top minority rather than the bottom majority; a system that will kick a family out of their home and reward the corporations that made it impossible for that family to keep that home. Who got bailed out? The banks got bailed out. Who got sold out? We got sold out. We are the 99 percent. Your fellow American, Billy Petot

Artist gives life to Cuidad Juares homicide victims Art exhibit brings awareness to the Ciudad Juarez murders By Cassidy Herrington cherrington@kykernel.com
Diane Kahlo is an artist and magician. In her exhibit “Wall of Memories,” she brings 100 women, who were murdered in Ciudad Juarez, back to life. The display consumes the space of the Tuska Center for Contemporary Art. Incense penetrates the air, candles flicker, and the golden hue of religious icons and coffins casts a funereal glow. Her art converts the
gallery into a living Mexican cemetery — and with a particular goal in mind. “Awareness,” Kahlo said. The installation is a mixed-media venture aimed at bringing interest and awareness to the murders in Ciudad Juarez. Kahlo’s hopes give a face to the women who were murdered by gangs and drug lords in Ciudad Juarez, a Mexican border city across from El Paso, Texas. One hundred tiny portraits, echoing Catholic icons, hang on the walls. Each painting represents one out of the
nearly 400 women killed in the ongoing “femicide.” Diane impressed each woman’s name into the miniature wooden frames. “You have to get close to see them,” Kahlo said. The exhibit opens Monday at 5 p.m. and continues until Nov. 4, which appropriately falls near the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Kahlo will introduce her collection at Monday’s opening night. She hopes to incite an interdisciplinary dialogue about the mass murders. “In history, portraiture has been reserved only for the wealthy and noble,” Kahlo said. “I decided these are chicas, or girls, who are not even

Taylor Vit remembered One year after death, players recall teammate, friend By Patrick Thompson pthompson@kykernel.com
This week the UK hockey team and the entire UK community will remember an outstanding individual in Taylor Vit. Vit was a 22-year-old senior captain on the hockey team when he was hospitalized from injuries sustained in a car accident on Newtown Pike near 4th Street on Oct. 10, 2010. He died the next day. The hockey team remembers Vit as someone who everyone looked up to. They were all in agreement when saying that he was an amazing hockey player and an even better friend. Senior captain Billy Glass spoke of Vit fondly. “He was a natural leader, he always said the right things and made everyone he played with better,” Glass said. “Nothing I could say will ever describe the type of person Taylor was. He really cared about all of us, and he loved his two younger brothers. He always talked about them.” Being a captain on the team, Vit was someone that his teammates and

friends could look up to for guidance. “Taylor was one of the most respected men I've ever met. Even away from hockey, he was always a person that people looked up to because of the way he carried himself,” junior defenseman Hunter Lyons said. The team stated as a whole that losing Vit was the hardest thing that many of them have had to endure, but the entire UK hockey family has become stronger because of it, and they still talk about him often. Senior assistant captain Sean Mclaughlin said that he only knew Vit for a short time, but that he made a lasting impact on the way Mclaughlin plays the game and a p -

proaches life as well. “Taylor was one of the most genuine kids I've ever met,” McLaughlin said. “He always told you exactly what he thought of you and how you could improve yourself both on and off the ice. This was probably why he was so respected by anyone he met, people valued his opinion.” Praising Vit further, Mclaughlin said, “Receiving praise from Taylor equated to scoring a gamewinning goal. You knew you had done something great when he went out of his way to tell you what a great job you did. He was the smoothest and smartest hockey player I've ever had the privilege of playing with, not to mention his amazing hands and wicked shot. I'll never forget him.” According to the UK hockey website, Vit lead the Cool Cats in scoring for the majority of his time playing at UK, and was ranked in the top-10 in scoring in all of ACHA Division 2 hockey. As a memorial, the players now wear Vit’s number 14 on the left sleeve of their jerseys. They also established the Taylor Vit Award that is given annually to the team’s MVP, and which Vit himself won in 2010. Vit made a lasting impact in many people’s lives, and will always be remembered fondly by his family, friends and teammates.
