Gummy bears: The latest alcohol trend?
Writer Series explores new genres
Experts warn youth could be at risk

Alcoholic candy has become a new trend among youth. Young drinkers have started to disguise the presence of alcohol by soaking candy, such as gummy worms and gummy bears, in alcohol to get drunk. “I think it is surprising and a little concerning,” said Christina Boelter, director of UK’s Translating Research to Youth through Information Technology program. Boelter works with middle school children of minority and low-income backgrounds through the program, which is called TRY-IT!, science curriculum. “In class we have a lesson where we talk about the effects of drugs and alcohol on the brain,” Boelter said. “We do activities on their ability to function under the influence.” Boelter said hearing about this new trend makes her particularly worried about the kids she works with. “Most of the kids who have been in our program are now in high school, and I am sure that some of them probably have heard of this,” Boelter said. Drew Smith, director of the Office of Substance Education and Responsibility, said he can see this trend being a problem with kids in elementary school all the way up to college adults. Smith hopes to inform people about the risks that go along with its Honestly, design. this is going to be a “It took everybody by concern at events surprise in the that UK hosts.” knowledge community DREW SMITH I’m involved director, Office of with,” Smith Substance Education and said. “My Responsibility concern is that bringing attention will encourage more than anything else.” Smith said that if this trend has not already made it to UK, he eventually thinks it will. “Honestly, this is going to be a concern at events that UK hosts,” Smith said. “Are we not going to let people bring gummy bears?” Aaron Martin, a political science senior, said he is not surprised by the gummy bear trend. “It makes sense because in my high school I’ve known kids that would try to beat the system,” Martin said. Martin said that younger people may be influenced by those who are older than them to take part in this trend. “With something like this, it’s easy for kids to over do it and not really think about the repercussions,” Martin said. Martin meets many freshmen through UK’s Christian Student Fellowship events and would urge them to think carefully about every choice they make. “With freshmen, I would tell them that this is the start of the next chapter of their life and it’s easy to want to fit in,” Martin said. “With a fresh start, would this be the wisest decision you could make?” Smith said this trend causes many issues. “It takes a lot of thought to come up with something like this,” he said. “This could potentially be pretty dangerous.” Smith said 75 percent of all incoming freshmen drink when they come to college and student retention is heavily influenced by the consumption of alcohol. He warns of the dangers of alcohol gummies. “Because (gummy bears) taste good, people will eat more of them,” Smith said. “There is no trigger to stop.” When he talks to people about alcohol, Smith wants them to know that it is a drug and has chemical effects on the body. “You will not take a drug unless you know the instructions: it’s use and how much to take,” Smith said. “There are no instructions to alcohol.” He stressed the importance of knowing alcohol serving sizes. “If you eat these gummy bears, you won’t know how much of the substance you are putting into your body,” Smith said. “That’s where the danger lies.” See GUMMY on page 2
The James Baker Hall Writer Series, presented by the Student Activities Board, is spreading its arms to incorporate a diverse group of writers. This week’s panel will feature a discussion from four Kentucky professionals: Buck Ryan, a journalism professor; Rob Theakston, assistant director of event marketing and student programming at UK; Laura Ungar, medical writer for The Courier-Journal; and Marc Jennings, a UK graduate who has worked in publishing and public relations. “As opposed to having novelists, authors and poets reading their work as in past Writer’s Series, we decided to have a panel discussion to discuss different careers,” Shannon Ruhl, SAB cultural arts director, said. Ryan has more than 12 years of newspaper experience, working for the Niagara Falls Gazette, the Buffalo Evening News and the Chicago Tribune. “I have written books, scripts for KET programs and newspaper commentaries, but my favorite way to write is headlines,” said Ryan. “I even met an editor who worked the night in 1948 when the Tribune front-page headline infamously proclaimed ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ for all the world to see. I never made that kind of mistake, but I once wrote a headline that ended up on a framed front page that tourists would see.” He won Chicago Tribune headline contests while working as an editor in the 1980s and 1990s.

Blue defeats White 126-104 By Sam Rothbauer srothbauer@kykernel.com
UK fans were able to see the Cats with a more structured defense Wednesday night during the Blue-White scrimmage at Rupp Arena. The Blue team was comprised of sophomore Terrence Jones, freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, senior Eloy Vargas, sophomore Jarrod Polson, sophomore Doron Lamb, sophomore Ryan Harrow and walkon Brian Long. The White team was freshman Anthony Davis, freshman Kyle Wiltjer, senior Darius Miller, sophomore Stacey Poole, freshman Marquis Teague, junior Twany Beckham and another walk-on, Sam Malone. The scrimmage concluded with the Blue team on top 126-104, with sophomore forward Terrence Jones breaking the BlueWhite Scrimmage scoring record previously set by former Cats Brandon Knight (37 points) and Jodie Meeks (32 points). For the full 40 minutes, Jones was explosive up and down the court, driving hard into the lane, drawing fouls, making plays and scoring points.

Campus goes purple for cancer society By Kortez Wilson news@kykernel.com
The American Cancer Society Relay for Life has been calling for UK community members to join the society and its signature event. UK’s Relay for Life Paint the Campus Purple Registration Blitz Week started Monday and ends Friday. “We are looking to register as many teams as possible in the following weeks,” Bethany McClintock, UK corporate sponsorship chair, said in an email to the Kernel. “The more student organizations that we get involved on campus, the better the event that we can have.” Relay for Life will take place on April 21, 2012. Until that time, teams with at least two people can raise money in various ways to support research studies funded by the American Cancer Society. “It gives not only students, but anyone who is a part of the UK community, including faculty, parents and alumni, a chance to fight back against all cancers,” said Alana Baker, UK’s American Cancer Society representative. For 2011, it is estimated that 822,300 men and 774,370 women will be diagnosed with cancer, according to the cancer society’s website. Currently the society funds 220 research studies in hopes of finding a cure to eliminate the disease, Kathryn Garrett, UK’s Relay for Life co-director, said. “As college students, it is the least we can do,” Garrett said. “For most of us, we often forget how blessed and lucky we are to be healthy.” During the Paint the Campus Purple week, the organization hopes to get as many teams to join as possible. Garrett said she wanted people to know that the American Cancer Society not only funds research studies, but also See RELAY on page 2

The Hope Lodge is one program on UK’s campus funded by the American Cancer Society. “The Hope Lodge houses cancer patients and one family member, free of charge, while the patient receives treatment in Lexington,” Garrett said. Ryan Studer, a sociology sophomore, said he and his parents participate regularly in Relay for Life back home. “It gives my family and I a sense of value and self-fulfillment to know that our contribution is helping some man, woman or child in need of help,” he said. The Blitz Week ends Friday, but teams can still form and raise money for the cause. McClintock said the event will have a disc jockey, multiple food vendors with free samples and free giveaways.

Boelter said she feels close enough with the students she works with to give them input about the risks of alcohol gummies. “What is it saying that our teens are spending time to come up with creative ways to bring alcohol into the school?” Boelter said. “Maybe that is saying something about a bigger problem we have in our families.” Boelter said it is important for families to communicate. “Providing encouragement to help a child feel confident about who they are and not giving in to the pressure is important,” she said.

‘Puss in Boots’ disappoints Having run its sequel potential into the ground with three increasingly inert followups, the “Shrek” franchise makes another box-office grab via his comrade Puss in Boots. Fronting a new character offered the filmmakers a chance to reinvent and revitalize. Instead, they coughed up this halfhearted hairball. Remember that toy where you yank a string and hear the sound of a barnyard animal? “Puss in Boots” has about half as much entertainment value. Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the feline Zorro in a tale that’s a combo platter of spinoff adventure yarn and origin story. The action is set in an antique Spanish nevernever land where humans and fairy tale characters coexist. We learn that the cat and Humpty Dumpty grew up in the same orphanage, bonding and then breaking up when Dumpty tricked Boots into a bungled bank robbery, setting him on his career as a daredevil outlaw. Now Humpty hopes to reconcile with Puss and pursue the treasure at the top of the beanstalk. With his big oval baby face and innocent voice (provided by Zach Galifianakis), Humpty appears soft, but he’s ruthlessly hard-
boiled when he chooses to be. Salma Hayek plays Kitty Softpaws, a slinky cat burglar who joins the scheme to steal the magic beans from Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris). Presented in widescreen 3-D, “Puss in Boots” is long on visual busyness, but short on zaniness. The script’s verbal wit is nil, with racing, chasing spectacle in place of well-crafted gags. The most impressive moment is a breathtakingly fluid flamenco-dance duel between Puss and Kitty, choreographed by Laura Gorenstein Miller, artistic director of the L.A.-based Helios Dance Theatre, and wife of the film's director, Chris Miller (“Shrek the Third”). Unfortunately, that passage comes too early in the film and nothing that follows can match it. Instead, the film commits the “Indiana Jones 4” blunder of staging frantic scenes of pursuit whenever the story sags, which is often. The best joke the swashbuckling tomcat going all saucer-eyed and vulnerable to disable his enemies is on its third go-round by now. You go expecting catnip. You wind up with kitty litter. MCT

Jones is no sophomore slump in team scrimmage AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
UK head coach John Calipari put on the full-court hype for Terrence Jones on Tuesday, a day before the BlueWhite scrimmage, by calling him the nation’s best player. Calipari’s words alone didn’t prove anything. He’s been touting Jones’ potential ever since he stepped on campus, and he only partially lived up to it as a freshman. It seemed possible Calipari was only saying it to give Jones extra motivation. After the Blue-White
Scrimmage, it seems Calipari was just telling it like it is. No exaggeration. The scrimmage provided tangible evidence of what everyone, including Calipari, has been saying: Terrence Jones is good. Like, really good. Jones scored the first two points of the scrimmage on a hard drive. Then he hit another shot. And his next six in a row. He finished the game with 52 points, a Blue-White Scrimmage record, and 16 rebounds. He received a little scoreboard-watching help from Doron Lamb, who kept him posted on how close to 50 he was. Jones said his previous high was 61 in seventh grade.
As for the last time he got half-a-hundred? “Last year,” Jones said. How do I not remember him dropping 50 at some point last season? “I mean, not last year,” Jones quickly corrected. “Sorry. Senior year of high school. Still think I’m a freshman.” He’s not playing like he’s a freshman anymore. Yes, his stat line needs to be put in context. The Blue team beat the White (but wearing gray) team 126-104. That’s a lot of points. Inflated stats were everywhere. Still. 52 points. Calipari had to marvel at that, even if it did come against a lackluster defensive effort (more on
that later). His performance went beyond the numbers, though. Jones, who played passively too often last season, showed a willingness to drive. He did so by driving relentlessly at Anthony Davis, who has been called by Calipari the nation’s best shot-blocker. Jones got the better end of that deal frequently. Jones’ new and improved physique will only be effective with an attacking mindset. “He doesn’t really settle anymore,” senior guard Darius Miller said. “He gets to the rack. He knows he’s bigger and stronger than most of the people he’s going to play. And quicker, too.” Not that he can’t still
shoot on the perimeter — Jones hit the 50-point mark with four minutes left on a wide-open three — but he will live on the inside. Of his 31 shots, only four were 3pointers. So yes, Calipari’s hype for Jones was true. But the rest of the game, Calipari had no hype for. He opened his press conference deriding the defense the teams played. Both teams scored more than 100 points in what was supposed to be a legitimate scrimmage. “If anybody watched that and didn’t say, ‘he better start coaching,’ you’re truly a football fan watching basketball,” Calipari said. The game did devolve
into something that resembled more the Big Blue Madness exhibition than a real preseason scrimmage — which, by the way, is a week from now. “If you watched that as a pickup game, you were excited,” Calipari said. “Everybody’s excited because you saw a lot of high-flying, dunking, blocking, flying, tipping – that doesn’t win, though.” Calipari didn’t like the rebounding. He didn’t like how players let drivers swoop in for uncontested layups. “I’ll go nuts if you do that in a real game,” Calipari said. Maybe. He would go nuts if Jones did what he did in a real game though, too.

Manchester Street features thrills and chills Distillery District hosts Fall Ball and haunted houses By Jennifer Abreu features@kykernel.com
Manchester Street is known for its old buildings and massive warehouses lined up side by side. Dimlylit and silent, the street can be a little intimidating. So it’s not surprising that the distillery district becomes home to haunted houses and fashionable monsters around Halloween season. Both Beaux Arts Fall Ball and Scream Park 2011, a haunted House company, have chosen Manchester Street to host their events for the third year in a row. Beaux Arts Fall Ball, an event infamous for norm-busting creativity, will take place Saturday at Buster’s Billiards and Backroom. This year’s Fall Ball will be feature acts like Midnight Conspiracy, Amtrac, Fidel Hasflow, Kymbo Slyce, DJ Warren Peace, Nemo Achida and Mille w/ DlaMrod. Beaux Arts Fall Ball has become a Halloween tradition in Lexington, raising funds for the major Beaux Arts Ball in the spring, which is a big philanthropy event. Beaux Arts Ball is organized by students at the UK College of Design every year, and has been a major spring event since 1967, according to BAB executive committee members, Melissa Long, Hannah Gompers and Emily Bottom. Fall Ball was created to specifically raise funds for the main event in the spring, Long said. Gompers said applications for
the charities interested in receiving donations next year will be released after Fall Ball. “We are usually looking for someone in the Lexington community,” Long added. “We always try to give back to the university as a whole, because as students, we put it on.” Gompers said Fall Ball is specifically unique because it features local artists, and this year they will also have a graffiti artist and burlesque dancers. “This year we’ll have a mixture between rap and electronic, so hopefully that will appeal to wide range of people,” Long said. Kymbo Slyce, a local electronica-dance deejay, will be spinning at this year’s Beaux Arts Fall Ball, and he said he anticipates a variety of great artists performing along with himself. “Midnight Conspiracy is really good,” Slyce said. “Amtrac is also going to be there. He’s from Kentucky, and I can’t wait to hear what he has.” Slyce studies at the Lexington School for Recording Arts and will be playing a few of his own songs. “What makes me different is that I like surprising people,” Slyce said. “I am a big fan of playing music people haven’t heard of.” Slyce doesn’t have anything specific for Saturday’s performance, he likes to feel the atmosphere during the party. “It will be 98 percent improv,” he said. “I’ll play it by the crowd.”

It is not only the great music, the energetic atmosphere and the fun that makes Beaux Arts fall ball so great, it’s also the meaning behind the event, Slyce said. “I think it’s a great organization and what they’re doing with music and the arts ... I like that all the proceeds go to different charities,” Slyce said. “I am happy to be involved.” Slyce said he and Warren Peace, a local hip-hop/soul deejay who will be spinning Saturday evening, have a surprise planned for the crowd along with hip-hop recording artist Nemo Achida. “We have something special planned, but that is all I can reveal right now,” Slyce said. Slyce didn’t reveal what his costume for Fall Ball will be. “I’m still not sure,” Slyce said about one of Fall Ball’s most eyecatching traditions. “It’ll be a surprise to me as much as to everyone else. Every year is awesome, I can’t wait” BAB committee members said Beaux Arts is something that exists in designs schools, and is focused towards the costumes — and has slowly evolved into a “rave thing.” The costumes are still a huge part of the event for those who attend. Be ready to run into some very original, exotic costumes, Long said. “As far as costumes, (guests) always come out full throttle,” Long said. Bottom said it is a contest of
“do-it-your-own.” “It’s not about buying costumes, it’s about being creative with it,” Bottom said. Long said people really feel comfortable bringing out that hidden ego through costumes at Fall Ball. Beaux Arts Fall Ball completes it’s third year at Buster’s Billiards and Backroom and has not officially decided to move out. Gompers said the only reason why they would a consider a move is capacity. “Last year we were sold out by midnight,” Gompers said. “We are having drinks special from 8 until 11 p.m.,” Long said. Only a couple blocks from all the local, outrageous creativity, Lexingtonians can find another Halloween event. Screampark is Lexington’s largest haunted event, sitting at 903 Manchester St. Eddie Embry, owner of the haunted house company, said it was more than a great geographic location that brought Screampark to this building. “It was the history of the building,” he said. “Other than what we do, there were actual ghost hunters in here before.” Embry said that the fact that there were investigations done inside that warehouse adds more to the atmosphere of the event. UK philosophy student Matthew Ward, who works at Screampark, said the haunted house is the only one within Fayette County boundaries. Ward, who plays a mime at the
haunted houses, is also a rummer and a slider. A rummer, as described by him, is someone who is always interacting with the public, making sure everyone is being entertained, or scared, as they wait in line or walk around. A slider wears knee pads and gloves to make sliding easier during their scares. People are not expecting anything to come up from the ground, and these surprises are what make Screampark a great haunted Halloween experience,” Ward said. Once inside Screampark, one can enjoy up to four different attractions: Castle of Fear, Insanity, The Abyss and the Hot Seat. The “Castle of Fear” belongs to an evil, furious King who is known for locking visitors inside the castle’s “Torture Chamber.” “Insanity: Hospital for the Insane” is a bloody maze populated by lunatic doctors and patients who will keep people from finding their way out. “The Abyss” is a maze where people find themselves in complete darkness. Before entering, a good piece of advice is not to believe everything seen. Finally, the “Hot Seat,” Scream Park’s newest attraction, is a multimotion ride designed to mimic a real execution. “We are one of America’s best haunts,” Embry said. Manchester avenue might be better referred to as “Halloween Row,” as it hosts a third year of artsy thrills and spooky chills.

Cats will try to run to first conference win By Ethan Levine elevine@kykernel.com
UK passed one test last Saturday when Jacksonville State came to town — that the team has the talent and maturity to win. Now, they must pass an even stiffer test this weekend when the Cats host Mississippi State — that the team can take it up another level and win in the difficult SEC. UK is currently 0-3 in conference, being outscored in those three games against Florida, No. 1 LSU and No. 13 South Carolina by a combined 137-20. Mississippi State, like UK, is winless in conference to this point in the season and desperate to get a win following its bye week. Unlike UK, however, Mississippi State has faltered in the SEC despite playing relatively competitive football. The No. 24 team in the preseason Associated Press poll has not lost by more than 14 points in any of its four conference games, holding LSU to just 19 points and allowing just 14 points to South Carolina in a 14-12 loss before the bye
without starting quarterback Chris Relf. “They did a good job stopping the run against (LSU) and didn’t allow big plays,“ UK head coach Joker Phillips said. “LSU, if you look, it stopped everybody. It wasn’t just us. They have done a good job on defense of stopping a lot of teams and LSU didn’t give up any big plays, which we have to do this week to keep the game in hand.“

will likely bring a lot of different looks up front and swarm to the ball in order to slow the run game down. “You can’t give up big plays,“ Phillips said. “They are going to run the ball and they are going to try to run the ball at you, and we have seen that in the past, what they want to do against us is run more downhill stuff.

Senior ends career in honorable fashion Goblirsch recognized on senior day despite injury By David Schuh dschuh@kykernel.com
The sports field can be a special place for athletes. Most people have just these four years to make memories they will keep forever. For UK women’s soccer player Jenna Goblirsch, those memories aren’t ex-
actly what she had envisioned. Goblirsch has decided to forgo her final season of eligibility after knee injuries kept her from playing part of her junior and her entire senior year. After recovering from a knee injury midway through her junior year, Goblirsch seemed poised to play a key
leadership role this season, but she injured her other knee in the first training session of preseason, keeping her out for the rest of the year. “It was an incredibly tough transition,” Goblirsch said. “I went from playing every minute for 18 years to not being able to play at all. The biggest challenge was

not being able to be out there with my teammates, doing something I had worked my whole life towards.” Goblirsch started every game of her freshman and sophomore seasons. She tallied six career goals, five assists and two game-winning goals, including a goal to upset No. 15 Virginia Tech. “She was a captain and played a big leadership position,” UK head coach Jon
Lipsitz said. “It was difficult losing her, but at the same time we knew we had to move on and try to proceed with what we had.” Last Sunday she was honored on Senior Day with her first start of the season. After making the initial touch at kick-off, she was then substituted out to a standing ovation. “It’s very difficult for a player to realize that this is it for me,” Lipsitz said.
“So I came up with the senior day ceremony a few weeks ago. I asked Jenna if it was something she would want to do and she was all for it.” “It was very emotional day, knowing that was the end of my soccer career,” Goblirsch said, “but, I can’t thank the coaches and players enough for that. It meant so much to me that I was able to start my final game.”

letter to the editor
Plan for new dormitory good idea, bad location By Carol Seiler opinions@kykernel.com
This letter is a response to a Oct. 26 article titled “Capilouto announces dorm plan.” As a senior preparing to graduate in spring 2012, I’m ecstatic about the $30 million plan to renovate campus, even though I probably won’t have the opportunity to bask in the state-of-the-art additions that will be made. I truly believe and agree with the decision to build new dorms because my junior year I was forced to search for housing arrangements off campus due to the overflow of the incoming freshman class, as they were made priority to house first.
Though I consider the building of new dorms “good news,” the location for the new dorms needs to be reconsidered. The Kernel said Wednesday that one dorm will cater to Honors Program students and “will be built on the sports field next to Haggin Hall.” The sports field by Haggin Hall is indeed a large, grassy, open area, but it’s in no way a vacant space that should be used for building a dorm upon. The Haggin sports field is in the middle of campus and it’s an ideal location for students who live on campus to gather and play recreational sports or have other extracurricular activities. The only other large, grassy, open area to play recreational sports or to have other
events at is the Johnson Center field, which is on South Campus. That’s not a convenient walking distance for a student who lives in a dorm on the north side of campus. I’m outraged that President Capilouto and the Board of Trustees would even consider building a dorm on Haggin sports field. There’s enough concrete and mortar on campus; don’t deplete one of the only large, grassy, open spaces that is left to the students to run free upon. There has to be other location options to build new dorms. For instance, the old Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity house is sitting vacant. Why not tear that down and build a new dormitory there? Or wait, would that be consid-
ered off-campus or violate some kind of contract? I no longer live in the dorms and very soon I will no longer be a student at UK, but I want to make sure when I leave this university that students living on campus have the same opportunities that I had when I lived on campus. Meaning, I hope they will be able to enjoy the same freedom to run around in the same field, behind the same dorm, as I did, which most students currently like to refer to as “Haggin Hell.” Carol Seiler is a agriculture communications and leadership senior.
