Students may have caught sight of the Divine 9 Black Greek Letter Organizations stepping or strolling on UK’s campus before and during events like Stompapalooza or during “yard shows.” Stomp … clap … step... And this Friday you can catch them at the National Pan-Hellenic Council Step Show in Memorial Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. Six organizations of the NPHC will be performing at the show. NPHC is a coalition of the largest historically African-American Greek fraternities and sororities. Out of the nine NPHC organizations, six will be competing at the step show this year: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. Not only is the stepshow an opportunity for students to have a real college experience, but it is also a great way to help out in the community, said NPHC President Josh Ridgeway. “The biggest importance is that it is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and our donation goes to Big Broth-

A Bias Incident Response Team was formed by President Eli Capilouto and announced Wednesday morning. The team was created to promote an equal environment for all ranges of diversity. With the help of nine organizations, students will be able to fight against “hate and negative bias in the campus community,” Capilouto said in an email to students. “The team will help new students feel more comfortable and feel less of a gap between race and religion,” said Bethany Wurl, freshman equine management major. “It will make students more aware of the culture and diversity of campus.” Capilouto stresses that each individual do their part to make the community aware that hate is not okay. “We encourage each person in the UK community to pledge to do his/her part on a daily basis to help protect and nurture our community,” Capilouto said. Last week, a hate flyer was left outside the Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services building. UK Police are now investigat-
ing the incident. Last year, CARES helped more than 1,200 students graduate and retain their GPAs. This is the first act for the response team and they will continue to Capilouto e ff e c t i v e l y help the underrepresented students. “It’s awful that people are still so prejudice against people because of their background in this day and age,” said Melissa Copeland, sophomore in undergraduate studies. “Hopefully the protocol the BIRT is going to publish will actually help get rid of negative bias and help students accept diversity.” BIRT will carry the motto “If you see something, say something!” throughout its campaign and will grow as students become aware and determined to join. Capilouto said this team is important and hopes that each student senses the urgency of their efforts. “An affront to one group or one person in our community should be understood as an affront to us all,” Capilouto said.

This year’s step show is a different one for NPHC because this is only the second year they have collaborated with Student Activities Board. “What we’re most excited about this year is that we have been working together with SAB, Student Government and the Student Affairs Office to make sure that we have an incredible step show,” Ridgeway said. Working together with other organizations on campus has been working for NPHC, and it’s helped them build a community at UK and in Lexington, Ridgeway said. “We are excited that the campus is becoming more aware of it, and we’re starting to get more people in-

The romantic play “Romeo and Juliet” is mostly known for its tendency to exaggerate teenage love. Two contrasting elements of the fine arts came together Wednesday at the Round Table to discuss their take on the love story. The UK Department of Theatre will be producing Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” in December, although by no means is it the classic version. UK Opera’s “Romeo et Juliette,” a sung version of the romantic tragedy, opens next week. The operatic version, “Romeo et Juliette,” focuses on the romantic, traditional version that William Shakespeare is known for. The play “Romeo and Juliet” will take the side of the Shakespeare play commonly known and reverse it, giving a version that is not looked at as often. “The play will be ripe with tension, with threat,” Andrew Kimbrough, director of Romeo and Juliet, said. The play will have a focus on the violence. “It’s two houses at war,”

Tony Hardin, the play’s set designer, said. “There’s a frostiness to it.” The opera Romeo et Juliette will be more similar to the Shakespearian version.

STEP Continued from page 1 by all the different organizations that will be performing. James Frazier, a pharmacy student at UK who is also a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., said his organization will be bringing something different to the show. “We actually do something called hopping.” Frazier said. Hopping is different from stepping, but Omega Psi Phi is rumored to have been responsible for implementing both forms into the Black Greek Letter Organizations. In hopping, members jump into the air to execute the motions, which include spinning and even the splits. It is a tradition that has been a part of Omega Psi Phi since the 1950s, Frazier said. “With stepping, the movements are grounded for the most part,” Frazier said. “Hopping is basically putting the claps, the kicks and different motions … in the air.” Harris said staying up in the air is more intense. “There are times we are completely airborne,” he said. Because hopping is so
challenging and intensive with all the jumping, Omega Psi Phi needs to dedicate a lot of time for practice. Practices for Omega Psi Phi start as early as summer and include intensive conditioning, Frazier said. “It’s almost like practice in football, basketball or other sports where you have to get in condition first, before you do any of the actual play,” he said. As the day of performance approaches and the excitement and expectations increase, so does the amount of hours Omega Psi Phi has to practice. “The week before the show we practice every day, sometimes twice a day, to make sure we are as precise as possible,” Frazier said. Other organizations will be contributing to the show with their distinct traditions and themes. Frazier said he is excited about the diversity, and anticipates this year’s show to be very creative. “Everybody has their own unique thing that they do,” he said. “It’s fun. It’s exciting to see how they do it. Some of them have video, some of them have sound bytes, costumes and props.” This year’s homecoming theme is Cats Set Sail, and Frazier said each organization
will incorporate that theme into their traditional performances. As far as Omega Psi Phi, Frazier didn’t reveal much about their performance on Friday evening, but gives the crowd a little taste. “We are definitely going to hop,” he said. “We are going to incorporate some new things, just trying to spice it up a little bit and keep the energy pumped up.” All organizations have been putting not only their physical efforts into the preparation for the show, but also their hearts, their passion for competing, performing and, most of all, stepping. Kristen Payne-Stikes, step master of the UK chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, said stepping is just as important to her organization as a whole as it is to her personally. “Stepping is something that unifies our organization,” she said. Stepping is both a hobby and a passion for PayneStikes; but competing is what challenges her with all the long practices, sweaty clothes and the stress of balancing school, a life off campus and stepping. “There are times you don’t want to practice, but once you win you know your hard work has paid off.”

Payne-Stikes said. Payne-Stikes said sometimes practices will last late into the night and, as students, they really have to learn how to prioritize. She said discipline is one of the most important things you have to have as part of a stepping chapter, but Alpha Kappa Alpha transforms that serious discipline and tough practice into a sassy, feminine performance. “Our thing is about being pretty, very precise and still energetic,” Payne-Stikes said. That is what their tradition calls for and that’s what the Alpha Kappa Alpha girls will be bringing onto the floor Friday night, she said. Payne-Stikes describes in one simple sentence what most students performing at the Step Show are feeling. “I am so excited for Friday,” she said. Ridgeway believes a true college experience is not complete until you attend a step show. “I think this is something every college student should go to at least once before they graduate,” she said.

Series focuses on Egyptian youth Discusses spread of mass media By Taylor Riley news@kykernel.com
The “Egyptian Youth in Urban and Virtual Spaces” series continues Friday with a focus on the anthropological perspective of the mass media and Middle Eastern youth. “Who are these people? And what comes before the uprising? The three lecturers (this year) are responding to these questions,” said Kristin Monroe, assistant professor in the department of anthropology and series organizer. Peterson, an anthropologist and former journalist, will discuss anthropological and communications topics, including his research in globalization, transnationalism and the mass media. “It is a growing concern and body of interest,” Monroe said. “More and more students are getting interested. It is a burgeoning field.” Peterson, a professor in the department of anthro-
pology at Miami University, was formerly a world political reporter in Washington. Peterson will give students the opportunity to see the “very latest research and have contact with anthropologists outside of UK,” said Diane King, an anthropology professor. “Youth in the Middle East are making their voices heard in a new way; making a tremendous impact on their societies.” Peterson will talk about the importance of social media. “People should come to hear about youth in a different cultural context,” said Karen Rignall, a graduate anthropology student. “It gives a sense of what is happening in another part of the world.” Peterson will also discuss his new book, “Connected in Cairo: Growing up Cosmopolitan in the Modern Middle East.” The lecture will take place Friday at 4 p.m. in room 230 of the Student Center.

kernel editorial
UK forms coalition to stop hate President Eli Capilouto announced the creation of a Bias Intervention Response Team on Wednesday. The BIRT, comprised of several campus organizations, will soon be publishing a protocol of the procedures to take when confronted with a negative bias situation. The creation of BIRT is a welcome remedy to a problem inflicted upon UK’s campus. Last year, for instance, a hate sign directed toward President Obama was posted in front of the UK Law School. BIRT was created in response to another hate letter posted recently, this time outside the Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services. Diversity is widespread on this campus — reflected by the numerous organizations joining to create BIRT. We come from different racial, ethnic, economic and geographic backgrounds. UK offers students a unique education superior to any that could be learned through a professor’s lecture or power point presentation. Students are able to intermix with each other. Students are able to learn about different cultures, activities, religions, arts and more. A student who may once have considered himself or herself an outsider can meet students who share similar passions or beliefs. Through these interactions, UK educates its students about the lifestyles, ideas and, ultimately, themselves. Hate doesn’t belong in these interactions. Blind prejudice toward any group or individual is an archaic reaction to differences that should enrich our lives as students at a large university. While these hate groups represent the smallest of minorities, their impact leaves a stinging mark upon the students, faculty and reputation of UK. We can only hope that the BIRT’s work will not have to be used. Yet, as has already been seen on this campus, with the flourising of diversity comes the ignorantly opposed. The Kernel fully supports the BIRT and hope its efforts will stem the flow of such acrimony to make UK, in Capilouto’s words, “safe and welcoming.”
Capilouto wants to fulfill UK’s promise; text of his investiture speech I accept this honor with deep gratitude to a Search Committee, Board of Trustees and University community who have bestowed upon Mary Lynne and me the privilege of a lifetime: to serve Kentucky alongside you as we prepare its sons and daughters for lives of meaning and purpose. There are many among us who made this day possible. It is their commitment to the University that is the foundation of what we do here and in whose honor I accept this privilege. They are the faculty and staff who dazzle me each day with their brilliance and their devotion to expanding the boundaries of discovery. With commitment to our students and an unyielding resolve, you attack the problems that confront our world. They are the students whose futures at this defining time in our nation have never been more promising or more uncertain; your intellect, talent and optimism inspire me each and every day. They are the generations of graduates, some 200,000 strong, who return to their communities as leaders — as doctors, lawyers, poets, pharmacists, educators and entrepreneurs. You are beacons of hope for our Commonwealth and our world. And they are the people of Kentucky, who hold in their hearts a special place for this University – their University. They are my fellow presidents of Kentucky's colleges and universities along with members of the Council on Postsecondary Education. Each day, you lead with clarity and courage, understanding the critical role our respective colleges and universities play in creating a path of opportunity and promise. They are my fellow UK Presidents, on whose shoulders I now feel so privileged to stand. With us here today are Presidents Wethington and Todd, whose examples of leadership and whose advice to me has been meaningful and invaluable. And they are my family — my grandparents who came to this country so that we might live the
uniquely American dream. And Mary Lynne and Emily — who sustain me with their love and support. It is with much gratitude that I accept this honor, recognizing that I share it with all who make this university, the University of Kentucky. I stand here today, both humbled and emboldened by a rich legacy — the generations of students, faculty, presidents and leaders whose work and voices speak to me — and say one thing: This place is truly remarkable. When Mary Lynne and I were approached with this opportunity, we were struck by what we read about the ambitions of the university's community and about the progress being made. Our ascent as a university has been impressive and our work and efforts are recognized throughout the country and world. But it was not until we actually visited this place that we felt in a meaningful and lasting manner its defining character — what I feel is the soul of the University of Kentucky. And it is everywhere; in the energetic eyes of our students, in the dedicated tone of the voices of faculty and in the welcoming handshake and committed demeanor of our staff. Whether it's manifest in faculty from our College of Design and Center for Applied Energy Research who are building energy efficient, low-cost housing to reposition Kentucky's houseboat industry or from the extension centers where county agents sustain communities through the performing arts and home gardens that provide families with affordable food. Whether it’s from caregivers in our healthcare facilities, who ensure that Kentuckians can wake up and know that no matter where they are in the state or how serious their illness or condition, they can receive the nation's best care at UK. Or from faculty and staff representing virtually every college on this campus who worked tirelessly to receive one of only 60
translational science awards in the nation so that discoveries in the lab are quickly transformed into community solutions. Whether it’s our students, who dedicate their time and talent to be ambassadors of our university, be it through visual and performing arts, student government, athletics, Greek life, and faith communities or through more than 450 student organizations, all while they put academics first. You cannot help but be moved by this University’s unquenchable thirst for knowledge and steadfast devotion to service. And it is just not on this campus. I have seen it in every corner of our Commonwealth, from Pikeville to Paducah. I have heard about it through stories shared with me in diners and town halls, in homes and offices and in high school classrooms. It is an idea not captured in statistics or in abstract narrative. The University of Kentucky is a promise — one that is manifest in each of us. It is a promise we have all made to each other forged almost 150 years ago in the darkest hour of our nation's history, reverberating in the echoes and voices of those who came before us and those who will dream long after we have faded. UK is a promise understood by President Patterson who made personal loans to help a fledging university survive; a promise that was carried forward by President McVey whose planning and vision during the throes of a Depression have guided our efforts and facilities for decades; and a promise brought to life by President Dickey, who in the face of opposition and doubt, birthed a medical center that provides community and specialty care to millions. UK is a promise — a covenant that Kentuckians have made with each other to build a shining beacon of excellence that will light our path forward and illuminate our efforts and progress. UK is a promise we have made to each other that says that young Kentuckians from all walks of life, backgrounds and experi-
ences are welcome here, and that they leave as our best and brightest because we foster their potential and brilliance. But what does this promise mean today? And — looking to the future — how do we honor that promise in times like these? With a fierce sense of urgency we begin to think anew and rebuild this campus so we can overcome that which confronts us. Why? Because an independent study of the academic core of our campus recommended that we tear down 12 buildings and undertake major renovations of 29 buildings. Because the vast majority of our space is not accessible to people with disabilities — more so than any university in this state. Because in the core of our campus the average age of buildings is nearly 50 years and they are deteriorating at rates that require daily patching when the long-term cost of rebuilding is wiser. And because only 10 percent of students who live in our residence halls live in modern housing. We have more than $1 billion in construction needs, but in the midst of great economic challenge, there are opportunities. Construction costs have never been more affordable and interest rates never lower or more competitive. We will ask the state for help and support, support they have long sought to give as partners in the promise of UK. But we also must find new approaches to earn our way, through greater and more intentional philanthropy, through innovative partnerships that leverage our resources, through smart growth of our student body and through internationalization of our campus and different modes of learning. There is no easy time. There is only our time. And this is the University of Kentucky’s time — because we must honor our promise. Visit kykernel.com for the full text of Capilouto’s speech.

“Open Mind” was the first song I heard from Wilco’s recently released album, “The Whole Love.” It was delivered to me in the form of a YouTube video. Front man Jeff Tweedy performed alone in a dimly-lit room. Even though Tweedy was the musical guest in a television studio, the atmosphere replicated that of an old hideaway coffee shop, complete with oversized leather chairs and an abundance of corduroy-clad hipsters. The immediate sweetness of the guitar and Tweedy’s Bob Dylan-esque voice was paired with ease and humbleness. Whether it was Tweedy’s lumberjack beard or chord progressions, I was smitten. You’d imagine my surprise, then, when I listened to the album. I discovered that it consisted of music that was nowhere close to resembling the video I’m sure I’ve contributed at least
231 views to. “Art of Almost” kicks off the album with synthesized beats accompanied by distortion of futuristic sounds that builds into a cluster of orchestral organized chaos. Tweedy’s voice rises over the hum of sound, like a leader giving orders to an obedient army of noise, dictating where the song should fall out. “Art of Almost” sets the tone for the album. Even the lighter songs have this longing distance to them that is reminiscent of Wilco’s 2002 CD, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.” Either Tweedy’s stays in rehab weren’t doing the trick or aliens abducted the dude, because this album has quite the Roger-Water’s-mood-while-writingThe-Wall kind of feel: progressively creative with a hint of crazy. And while I’m not saying “The Whole Love” will ever have it’s own movie or traveling concert production that measures up to a Broadway show, I will say it’s got this paranoid charm of appeal that’s absolutely intriguing as hell. But then again, I guess that’s any Wilco CD for you.

UK regroups after bye week By Ethan Levine elevine@kykernel.com
Finally, something went right for the UK football team. Last week, at the lowest point in their season, the Cats entered their bye week, before taking on the rest of the season. The bye week came halfway through UK’s season this year, with a 2-4 record looming behind them and six more games in weeks ahead. “It was nice to have a chance to just sit back and relax for a little bit,” senior guard Stuart Hines said. “Get away from the stress of preparing for a game every week and just have a time to get a little work in.” UK closed the first half of its season on a four-game losing streak, including its first loss to in-state rival Louisville since 2006 and a three-game slide to open conference play that had UK sitting at the wrong end of a 137-20 deficit. UK head coach Joker Phillips called the bye week “open, not off,” referring to the bye as a week for work, not vacationing. During the
week, the team got back to the basics, focused on details and upped the energy at practice, all things the team hopes to continue. “There’s no question our minds are in the right place,” Phillips said. “Our kids like playing. They like practicing. “You’re hearing a lot of chatter and a lot of guys having fun. So we know our kids are having fun.” The Cats also did some soul-searching during their “open” week, trying to fix issues both on and off the field before UK resumes the season. “The thing we did, we tried to sit down with our players individually and find out where their minds are,” Phillips said. “And all of our kids for the most part; their minds are with us. We found out that we have got a chance. “You find out about yourself, too. I had to look into myself and I understand, I'm ready for this job. I'm fine with that — the direction of the program. I think that we have all of the right things. We just have to get them headed in the
right direction. We are doing the right things, though.” The Cats relied on their senior leaders in the “open” week to help turn the season around. The players also became more accountable for themselves on the field, something junior linebacker Ridge Wilson thinks will improve the team's play on the field. “Coach Phillips, (senior linebacker) Danny Trevathan, Stuart (Hines), we have a lot of those guys, our leaders that you all may see as far as on the field, those type of guys,” Wilson said. “I feel like football is a game of individual games, and no matter what he say, no matter what Coach Phillips says, we all got to go out there and take care of business.” Now back at work preparing for Saturday’s Homecoming game against Jacksonville State, Phillips and his team will try and apply what they gained over the bye week against their competition the last six weeks of the season. “We have got a chance,” Phillips said. “We just have to line it up, play with confidence, play clean and we'll be fine.”
Volleyball looks to bounce back after loss By Paul Martin sports@kykernel.com
UK arrived in Starkville last Friday evening riding a wave of momentum. Fresh off a spectacular win over rival Tennessee, the Cats ran into a highly motivated Bulldog team. Mississippi State won 3-0 (25-23, 25-18, 25-19) over the Cats before a record crowd of 4,525 at Humphrey Coliseum. The rowdy setting was a planned event, as the volleyball game preceded the men’s basketball Bulldog Madness festivities. “Mississippi State did a fantastic job. They had a great atmosphere,” head coach Craig Skinner said. “I don’t care if it’s basketball or volleyball, whatever indoor sport, it was a great environment and they did a really nice job. It definitely motivated Mississippi State and they played well.” Mississippi State had 40 kills for the game, with a .239 hitting percentage. UK junior libero Stephanie Klefot held firm with 16 digs, but it was not enough to stop the pumped up Bulldogs. “I didn’t realize how many people were there until after the game. Mississippi State just played better than us hands down,” Klefot said. “It was a big game for them, so I can see how they may have been a little more excited than we were.”
Junior Ashley Frazier recorded 16 kills, which usually equals a win for the Cats. However, this was the first time all year that she had double digit kills and UK lost. The Bulldogs held UK to a mere .141 attacking percentage, which was a huge factor in the UK defeat. “Their defense played well when it needed to,” Skinner said. “They played a great match.” To finish strong in conference play, it is crucial for the team to take care of business on the road and be solid defensively. “We refocused on fundamental and defense in practice. Our preparation needs to be the same. We have a full week to practice and prepare for Georgia,” Coach Skinner said. “When you play on the road you have to play well defensively, because teams are more comfortable with their offense in their home environment.” The Georgia Bulldogs crowd will also be seeking an upset, but junior Stephanie Klefot has a plan for the Cats. “We have a set goal, and that is to win the Southeastern Conference. We are still capable of doing that. I think we need to keep that goal in mind every day,” she said. “We have a bunch of goals written on our board in the locker room, and I think we need to look at those and just realize it’s not over because of one loss.” Georgia will host the Cats on Friday, Oct. 21 and then UK will visit the Auburn Tigers that following Sunday.
