Dining hours extended for South Campus
Students design house for fraternity

Students will have the opportunity to satisfy late night cravings on South Campus beginning Tuesday. UK Dining Services is extending the hours of Commons, Common’s Starbucks, Ovid’s Café and Ovid’s Starbucks until midnight Monday through Thursday. “It’s a service that we felt like we needed to offer to South Campus,” said Pam Edwards, marketing specialist of dining services. “After working with the president’s office and student organizations, we thought it was good time to offer this service so that students would have improved options at night.” Dining halls on other parts of campus, like Blazer Café, will keep normal hours. “Right now it’s just an experiment to see if it’s a service that students want and need,” said Ray Schmidt, associate director of dining services. “We wanted to target a specific place to start, but who knows where it will go from here.” The majority of students live on South Campus, so extending the hours will provide many people with another place to socialize and study, Edwards said.

Lexington Police say they have arrested a man in connection with the shooting of a UK student last Friday morning at Silks Lounge. Demetrius “Demetrics” L. Flynn has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault and will be arraigned within ten days, Lt. Mark Brand said. Police responded to a call at 1:47 a.m. for shots fired at Silks Lounge, located at 125 North Mill Street, where they say Flynn had been asked to leave the establishment by the bartender. Once outside, Flynn turned around and fired two shots into the bar, police said. One of the shots struck UK geology junior Jerrad Grider in the stomach. Flynn fled the scene prior to police arriving. Grider was taken to UK Chandler Hospital where he was treated then released. STAFF REPORT
Mens soccer coach not retained UK men’s soccer head coach Ian Collins will not retain his position for next season, according to a UK media relations press release. UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart announced this Monday. Collins was UK’s head coach for 18 years in which he tabbed a 197-132-38 record after serving under Sam Wooten as an assistant coach two years prior. This season the Cats recorded a 9-9-2 with a 2-51 record in Conference USA play. “We’re very grateful for the contributions Ian and Jenny provided the University of Kentucky over the last 18 years,” Barnhart said. “We feel it’s time to change the direction of the program. We wish Ian and his staff nothing but the best.” A national search for Collins’ replacement will begin immediately. STAFF REPORT

Though they are just third-year architecture students, they are doing professional-level work. A class of College of Design students are working in teams to design schemes for a house for the Triangle Fraternity. Students began the project in spring 2011, and this semester students are focusing on the development of the house. “It’s awesome we get to do this so early,” Sam Forman, an architecture junior, said. The 14 architecture students, in ARC 354 Design Studio IV, along with 10 mechanical and electrical engineering senior capstones and four civil engineering graduate students are working on the project, said Gregory Luhan, associate dean for research at the College of Design. Collectively, they are developing a new and informed base model, which balances aesthetics and performance. “The idea is to come up with a design solution and propose best practices that could inform the design,” Luhan said. Students are investigating issues related to campus living, Luhan said. He said students look in to how to live net-zero and how to make campus living desirable. Students work in teams on specific projects. They “develop a keen understanding of what best practices would be,” Luhan said, and how it can be implemented across campus. Then they bring the information back to the larger group. Forman participated in a facade workshop last weekend and he said they focused on how new buildings can fit into campus. Students were taught how to design the “skin of the building” at the workshop, Luhan said. In class, Forman and his design partner are focusing on how they can tie the building into the campus context. They are trying to use a “high design” but “without it becoming alien” to campus. Though they will stop working on the project at the end of the semester, he said “we will all keep an eye on it.” Forman said he likes that they are learning things that will eventually have a practical use. Ethan Marlowe, also an architecture junior, agreed with Forman about the opportunity to work on projects so early. “The fact that it can be potentially be a real project is exciting,” he said. Marlowe said this is what they will be doing in a real job, and he likes that it is a “real-world application” of what they are learning. The course is a part of the College of Design’s energy initiatives, what they call DEI. The initiatives deal with a collaborative context, working across disciplines “to look at projects that have a dynamic impact on housing throughout the state and beyond,” Luhan said. Between faculty lectures and workshops, Luhan said students go back to the classroom and present what they learned. “We are constantly bringing in area experts,” he said. “It’s a very interactive way of teaching. It allows students to have internationally-recognized experts using the project as the venue of exploration.” Luhan said an expert at a past workshop asked if the students were first- or second-year graduate students, when in reality they were third-year undergraduates. The expert gives workshops at Harvard, MIT and Yale, Luhan said. “What we’ve developed here at the College of Design, was far superior to what they were developing,” he said. “Not only that they were doing it as a project,

Award honors innovation in the workplace By Shelby Leach news@kykernel.com
A new award named after former President Lee Todd will be given, for the first time, to an employer or business that has shown innovation in the workplace. The UK Institute for Workplace Innovation, also called UK iwin, is now accepting nominations for the Dr. Lee T. Todd Jr. Bridging the Gap Between Workplace Research and Practice Award.

UK iwin is a research institute that Todd helped create. The institute creates tools and resources for employers, Walton said. “Dr. Todd has helped enhance Kentucky’s overall image to employers outside and inside the state,” said Donna King Perry, a member of the Steering Committee that will choose the scholarship recipient. “We want to thank him for his vision, his time and for letting us use UK’s resources.” A current Innovative Employer Roundtable Partner may nominate applicants or they can be self-nominated.

Webb, an architecture junior, said. “Instead of studying all night, we are creating all night.” Webb is building a model of the individual rooms and overall shape of the building. He said he was up all night, and that models generally take between five and 10 hours to create. After he turns it in for a critique, he said sometimes he can make tweaks but other times he has to completely start over.
utes). UK got out into the open court – unlike the opening exhibition against Transylvania, when UK settled for too many perimeter shots, the Cats’ first 10 shots were all layups or dunks. The performance even amazed some who have seen a lot in college basketball, as former UK coach Joe B. Hall stopped by the press box after the first half saying UK should have brought in
recruits to watch the game. Maybe they weren’t there in person, but they were paying attention. Class of 2012 No. 1 recruit Shabazz Muhammad tweeted, “86-18 with 16 mins to go all I can say is wowwwww lol !!!!” That’s pretty much all I can say about it, too, and it’s probably the most accurate depiction of what occurred out there.

Rihanna’s 20th is a top 10 record NEW YORK— When Rihanna arrived on the scene in 2005, as one of Jay-Z’s proteges, with the dance hit “Pon de Replay,” she seemed promising but far from the global megastar she has become. This week, she makes chart history as “We Found Love” becomes her 20th Top 10 single (and her 11th No. 1). She has amassed the 20 hits in six years and four months— the shortest time the feat has ever been accomplished by a solo artist, according to Billboard.com. (Madonna previously held the record, knocking out 20 Top 10 hits in six years and nine months in the ‘80s.) Only The Beatles have racked up that many Top 10 hits faster— taking only two

It’s rare and wonderful to see a hit maker of Rihanna’s talent and consistency.” Of course, RiRi is far from done.

Though he said designing is time consuming, he loves it. He said he likes that he can be creative in an academic atmosphere. Luhan hopes they will have the design strategy in place by the end of the semester. They will present the project to a facilities committee on Nov. 21 to get approval on the location of the Triangle Fraternity house. “What we’re hoping is that the presentation to facili-
ties would demonstrate the impact of these smaller-boutique style buildings that could be built for other buildings across campus,” Luhan said. He hopes people will occupy the building in fall 2013. “Then we will partner with local engineering and architecture firms to implement the strategy,” he said, “that can be designed in the spring semester and start construction in the summer.”

Extended dining hours benefit all UK Dining services announced last week that it will extend the hours of Commons, Commons’s Starbucks, Ovid’s Cafe and Ovid’s Starbucks until midnight Monday through Thursday, beginning Tuesday. Although Ovid’s will shut down its fiesta bar at 10 p.m., the rest of its bars will remain open. Commons will not accept meal swipes after 9 p.m., but students can purchase an all-you-can-eat option for $5.50. This change is beneficial for both UK and its students. No longer will students be denied their late-night cravings at 11:30 p.m. No longer will the line for coffee at the Ovid’s Starbucks extend into the eatery around 11 p.m. No longer will caffeine-deprived minds shut down before midnight when urgent studying is imperative for the next day’s test. The university will receive several benefits from this change as well. UK Dining Services will gain additional revenue. Student and faculty workers will also receive the opportunity to take on more hours. Big or small, it is good to see changes occuring on campus that have a direct impact on students. The recent proposals of new dorms and new dining hours are great news for students, and it seems that President Capilouto and his staff are making the undergraduate experience a top priority in his first year.

Writer Series ends with 4 Kentucky authors By Joy Priest jpriest@kykernel.com
Aspiring writers and citizens should be aware that Kentucky has an authentic, award-winning writing community, boasting creative writers who have studied mostly at UK. If there are any doubts, the Student Activities Board will host the last edition of its “Writer Series” Tuesday evening — a series created to celebrate the late James Baker Hall, who was a Kentucky writer and professor at UK. According to SAB’s Cultural Arts committee director Shannon Ruhl, the Series was inspired by the men and women of letters that have been produced in Kentucky and the state’s supportive citizens. “I think the Kentucky writers’ era began in the Gurney Norman-James Baker Hall era, and now it’s blossomed into a really supportive community,” Ruhl said. “People from Kentucky love hearing about it.” Ruhl said Tuesday will be a special sign-off edition of the Writer Series, and will feature four fiction writers or poets: Crystal Wilkinson, Frank X Walker, Maurice Manning and Silas House. “While the writers throughout the series represent the writing that Kentucky has to offer, I really think this last one is something really special,” Ruhl said. “There’s a lot for UK to see. Walker is so well-known in the UK community and maybe, yet, people haven’t heard him read his work.” Walker has many accomplishments, and at UK he is the director of the Africana Studies department, an associate professor in the department of English and has served as the first director of the Martin Luther King Cultural Center. His on-campus office even houses an African
American action figure “museum,” which he said “may be the only one in the region.” He also invented the word and concept “Affrilachia,” which is now an official word in the dictionary, and has cofounded the Affrilachian Poets, and started “PLUCK! the Journal of Affrilachian Arts and Culture.” “It was a response to me looking in the dictionary in 1991 and seeing Appalachia defined as ‘white residents,’ Walker said about the word “Affrilachia.” He said this revelation was disturbing because it indicated only white residents lived in a region that included Birmingham, Ala. and Pittsburgh, Penn. “I wrote a poem exploring that idea and the word just came out as a result of asking that question,” Walker said. “It is now an official word in the dictionary – an African American that lives or works in the region of Appalachia.” Walker said he will be reading new work on Tuesday night and is excited about reading with the other writers.
124 clay avenue lexington, kentucky 859/252-8623 shopvoce.com
“This particular gathering of writers – we collectively have, probably, won more awards, have more books and notoriety than any four writers in the region,” he said. Walker said they are all friends who have read together before and he looks forward to this event where they will “be reading to each other.” “We haven’t been in the same place at the same time for a long time,” Walker said. venue “You should come because kentucky it’s going to be damn good.” Ruhl said she is excited about Tuesday and that book- 623 ing this group of writers together was “an intuitive kind of thing.” She said honesty is prominent, and that Kentucky makes itself known through this group of writers’ work. “To the people who know them they are loved, especially in Kentucky and in the region,” Ruhl said, “and I think that’s important for UK to acknowledge and support on this campus. These writers are some of the best that Kentucky has to offer and some of the most celebrated.”
