Whitlow to transfer from UK Quarterback was asked to switch to wide receiver By Matt Overing movering@kykernel.com
Incoming junior quarterback Jalen Whitlow has decided to transfer from UK at the end of the spring semester, head coach Mark Stoops confirmed Wednesday in a press release. “We respect Jalen and his decision as we want the best for him. I thank Jalen for his contributions to the team,” Stoops said. “I want everyone
to understand how hard he has worked and the effort he has given since our staff has been here.” Whitlow started eight games last season. As a starter, he had a 2-13 record at UK. In Wednesday’s press conference, Stoops said that he and offensive coordinator Neal Brown agreed that it would be best to move Whitlow to wide receiver. Asking Whitlow to move to wide receiver was a difficult proposi-
tion, Stoops said. “(We) asked him if he would be open to playing another position,” Stoops said. “He decided it would be in his best interest to go somewhere else and play quarterback. That’s where his heart is, that’s what he wants to do. I understand that.” Brown said he wanted to see Whitlow give it a shot. “I was hopeful that he would give it a try, but I understand where he’s coming

from,” Brown said. “He’s played quarterback most of his life.” Stoops said that the final three candidates for quarterback are improving. Early enrolling freshman Drew Barker, redshirt freshman Reese Phillips and redshirt sophomore Patrick Towles are all vying for the starting job. “We like where we’re at. We’re improving,” Stoops said. “We’re narrowing it down.” Stoops and Brown have See WHITLOW on page 2

Brand shifts from Memorial Hall By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
William T. Young Library is being recognized as the physical and intellectual center of campus in new promotional material, UK spokesman Jay Blanton said. “I think we’ve been noticing over time that the library is increasingly a focus on campus,” Blanton said. Enrollment management and marketing have increased the use of the library’s image in banners, images and videos this past summer and fall, Blanton said. A video on the front page of the UK website opens with shots of W.T. Young Library and the Rose Street walkway, and Blanton also mentioned a TV ad that ends with students running toward the library to reference the goals accomplished through work and connections made there. “I think it’s because UK is a research and academic university,” public health junior Megan Broughton said. “This is a good place to study and I think the structure of it, and even the colors are neutral and calm ... It’s so spacious and there are many places to meet.” Madison Tackett, a special education freshman, credited the close location to many dorms and Greek housing for the library’s popularity. “I think everybody ends up at the library at least multiple times per semester,” said Tackett. “It’s a good See BRANDING on page 2

Dog walk combats ‘bully breeds’ Walk begins at 9 a.m. Saturday By Kindsey Bernhard news@kykernel.com
Dog lovers of all kinds will gather at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Thoroughbred Park for a walk sponsored by local volunteer organization PAWS to take a stand against Breed Specific Legislation and discrimination of “bully breed” dogs. Promoting Animal Welfare and Services (PAWS) is a student-run volunteer organization that dedicates its time to ending stereotypical assumptions of “dangerous dogs” such as pit bulls, bulldogs and doberman pinschers. “Breed-specific legislation prohibits any type of dog breed that has an increased number of dog fights in that area,” director of PAWS Tamara Compton said. “It restricts somebody owning a type of breed that is considered dangerous. They are forced to move, get rid of the dog, rehome their dog or euthanize it.”
LEAD Continued from page 1 The group emphasized how their presentation was beneficial to the students in attendance. “I had a student come up to me right after and tell me this presentation was extremely helpful. He asked me if there was any way he could learn more about the information presented,” presenter
“
The Bully Breed Awareness Walk is being held to educate people on the legislation and show that it can be doctored at anytime in the country. “We want people to know that there are more responsible pet owners than they think. Pit bulls are generally good dogs and you shouldn’t base a dog’s character on the breed,” Compton said. All participants are encouraged to preregister for the event. To register, people can visit the event website or find the link on the “Paws: Promoting Animal Welfare and Services” Facebook page. You can also register on the day of the race. All participants and dogs must check-in prior to the start of the walk. The first 100 dogs to register will receive a free bandana. “Any breed of dog is welcome and you don’t have to have a dog to come,” Compton said. learned about that my junior year, and I wish I would’ve known about it as a freshman and sophomore,” presenter Elizabeth Gardinier said. The group said they were satisfied with the information they presented to students, but that there is still information they’d like to share with students to help them out at UK. “We just wanted to make sure we gave students the tools that they needed to learn more on their own.” At least one student took
Ohio judge halts same-sex marriage talk By Matt Pearce Los Angeles Times (MCT)
Pump the brakes: Samesex marriages won’t be recognized in Ohio just yet. So ruled a federal judge in Ohio on Wednesday, joining a growing number of federal courts around the country to condemn parts of same-sex marriage bans as unconstitutional only to then put their own rulings on hold. Everyone, it seems, is waiting to see how the highest courts in America will rule. U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black’s personal stance is pretty clear: On Monday, he ordered Ohio to recognize legal same-sex marriages performed in other states. The

The matter seems destined to end at the U.S. Supreme Court. But until then, judges around the country have been blasting marriage bans in their own rulings while acknowledging that they will not get to have the final say. “The arc of the moral universe is long, (but it bends) toward justice,” Black wrote Wednesday, quoting Martin Luther King Jr.’s famed statement while noting that the state’s refusal to acknowledge

focused and where interest is shifting, it becomes clear that the library is a place where many students spend much of their time, Blanton said. “It’s where they study, it’s where they socialize and meet people, it’s where they eat,” Blanton said.
Memorial Hall has been part of the UK logo for decades, Blanton said, and will remain there as part of the university's image. Built in 1929 as a memorial to those who died in World War I, Memorial Hall contains a fresco of scenes
from Lexington and Kentucky history in its lobby, according to the UK Campus Guide. “I think the library represents the future and Memorial Hall is an important nod to our past,” Blanton said.

to see a bunch of same-sex couples run off to get married in case the courts later rule that marriage bans are OK. But Black made one exception to his stay: He ordered Ohio to issue new birth certificates to the children of the four couples, listing their parents as being lawfully wedded. Three of the four couples who brought suit live in the Cincinnati area. One spouse in each relationship is pregnant and due to give birth this summer. The fourth couple lives in New York City but adopted their child from Ohio. Los Angeles Times staff writer Michael Muskal contributed to this report.
back. He was the third-best rusher on the team last season, rushing for 457 yards and a team-high six touchdowns. The offense was tailored to his running skills, Stoops said, but the team wants the offense to go in a different direction. “Ultimately, we want to throw the football,” Stoops said. Whitlow did not model the consistency that his coaches wanted to see from a starting quarterback. Last season, he threw five touchdowns and five interceptions

gay marriages was probably doomed. However, allusions to America’s civil-rights history aside, Black, like other federal judges, said the need for higher courts to rule on same-sex marriage outweighed granting gay and lesbian couples the right to marry immediately. “Premature celebration and confusion do not serve anyone’s best interests,” Black wrote. “The federal appeals courts need to rule, as does the United States Supreme Court.” The Los Angeles Times has previously analyzed why Black and other federal judges are being so cautious.

Off-campus housing can be a nightmare ELEANOR HASKEN
Kernel columnist
As the end of the year quickly approaches, and figuring out your living arrangements becomes more and more important, I just wanted to share a few of my experiences. If you are a quiet, studious type, living in off-campus student housing may not be your best choice. Trust an expert, I am a veteran of off-campus student housing of three years. It’s horrible. Let’s begin with the facades. Each of the popular off-campus housing complexes looks like 3D rendering used to sell the idea of their existence to investors. I constantly worry about completely unhinging my friends’ doors by simply knocking on them when I arrive. It seems so incredibly unstable. I’ve even had the privilege of witnessing the intense flooding caused by a light rain shower. I can personally say I’ve had a great look at the infrastructure of my current home.
Last year a very drunk neighbor decided he didn’t like the hallway adjacent to my apartment. I awoke to a loud banging sound and found out the next morning that there was a footwide hole next to the molding around my door. Thankfully, it was fixed in a timely manor — unlike many things that have been broken over the years. The biggest issue I’ve had, however, are the various neighbors that have lived near me over the years. A day has not passed where this sober college kid’s apartment has been flooded with the pot smoke from my neighbor’s dwelling. I’m pretty sure that even my cat has felt the contact high from my neighbor’s sufficiently smelly weed. Some nights, my sweet slumber is disturbed by the sounds of my neighbors above me really taking advantage of “Your Body is a Wonderland� by John Mayer. And by some nights, I mean almost every weekend. Two years ago, there were a rowdy bunch of inhabitants who decided the stairwell angered them. They spent a better part of a couple months constantly destroying the hall-

way. Punching holes in every landing’s wall. When holes didn’t appease them, Oreo blizzards and full beer bottles were viciously slung around. Much of off-campus student housing hosts fun events to entertain their inhabitants. I believe it’s an attempt to create the dorm experience. And much like the dorm I lived in, even when you didn’t want to attend their event, you were forced to hear about it nonstop anyway. I wish someone would have warned me before I stepped into the large puddle of pee in my stairwell. I wished someone would have warned me about the complex’s shoddy appliances. I wish they would have warned me about the hooligans that I would be surrounded by. Instead, they allowed me to believe that living in one of these off-campus complexes was my best choice.

UK students, faculty and staff have been working together for months to create a new Strategic Plan that will guide our university for the next six years. This effort to “see tomorrow� will be the blueprints for UK’s future. It is tremendously important for students, and every stakeholder in our community, to engage with the plan as it is still being built. This is a wonderful way to take ownership of UK. The committee in charge of crafting the Strategic Plan is split into six working groups, set to tackle the diverse interests of UK. The group that should be the most interesting to most undergraduate students is charged with “creating a vibrant undergraduate learning community.�
This group is reaching out to students for feedback on the work they have done so far. They will host a forum in the Student Center Theater on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m., to discuss the plan, termed a “piĂąataâ€? to signify it as a work in progress. Everyone is welcome to come take a whack at it.
“
It is a wonderful opportunity to better understand where our school could be going, and to give your input.�
So far, in working toward their overall goal of improving the undergraduate learning community, they have decided to take three actions. They want to focus on
integrated and interdisciplinary learning such as dual degree programs and integrated majors. They want to increase our high-impact teaching and learning opportunities such as engaging students in active research. And they want to achieve national excellence in student support to a degree. To hear them expound on these ideas, come to the forum. There will be significant time allotted to give feedback and ask questions. It is a wonderful opportunity to better understand where our school could be going, and to give your input. If you cannot make it to the forum but have a comment or question, email them to seetomorrow@uky.edu. Roshan Palli is the student government president. His column appears weekly in the Kernel.

Jameis Winston rape allegations questioned in newspaper report New York Times story shows flaws in investigation By Brendan Sonnone Orlando Sentinel (MCT)
Questions persist about how Florida State and the Tallahassee Police Department handled rape accusations involving Jameis Winston. A New York Times report highlights flaws in the investigation of the rape case involving Winston, Florida State’s star quarterback. The state attorney’s office continues to question police actions during the Winston investigation and many took issue with the way both TPD and FSU handle rape accusations. The Times also reported another woman sought counseling after a sexual encounter with Winston but did not accuse him of rape. “I believe that Mr. Winston cannot be convicted,� Georgia Cappleman, the chief assistant state attorney, told the Times. “I don’t necessarily believe that he’s innocent.� Winston’s attorneys have repeatedly asserted he did not assault anyone. Winston has offered limited remarks about the investigation during media interviews, but he did indicate he felt vindicated by the state attorney’s decision not to proceed with charges. “I know I did nothing wrong,� Winston said in New York during the weekend he won the Heisman Trophy. Florida State responded to the report, defending its actions handling the Winston case and its treatment of sexual assault victims. It noted it has extensive programs designed to assist rape victims and called the Times report “misleading.� The FSU statement read: “The university expresses its deep disappointment in today’s New York Times story alleging FSU officials did not properly investigate a rape allegation against Jameis Winston
‘in apparent violation of federal law.’ It also vigorously objects to the newspaper’s characterization of the university as being uncooperative in explaining its actions.� Winston was accused of rape by a former FSU freshman in December 2012, although the accusation did not become public knowledge until November 2013. The state attorney’s office did not file charges against Winston, citing a lack of sufficient evidence to pursue a case.
“
They just missed all the basic fundamental stuff that you are supposed to do.� WILLIE MEGGS Florida state attorney
The detective handling the case, Scott Angulo, waited two months to write his first report, according to the Times. He prematurely suspended his inquiry without informing the accuser. Evidence, including video that Winston’s roommate and teammate Chris Casher claimed he took of Winston and the accuser having sexual relations, was deleted. “They just missed all the basic fundamental stuff that you are supposed to do,� state attorney Willie Meggs told the Times. Meggs added that a better investigation could have still yielded the same result. The Times report also states FSU knew of the rape accusation in January 2013, when the school’s assistant athletic director called the po-
sports
lice to inquire about the case. Winston played the entire season and the university did not ask him to discuss the case until January 2014, shortly after FSU won the national championship. Winston did not answer any questions at the time of the meeting on the advice of his lawyer, according to the report. FSU is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights for potentially violating Title IX laws. Federal officials are attempting to determine whether the case was dealt with promptly and equitably based on laws that mandate public schools that receive federal funding investigate sexual assault cases and act in accordance with the findings. The school’s actions could be deemed a Title IX violation. The government has never revoked federal funding as a result of such violations, but it is an option. A federal ruling against FSU could bolster a civil case Winston’s accuser may file against the school. A month before the rape accusation became public, a second woman sought counseling after a sexual interaction with Winston, the prosecutor’s office told the Times. Cappleman said the encounter was not rape because the woman did not say “no,� but “was of such a nature that she felt violated or felt that she needed to seek some type of counseling for her emotions about the experience.� Cappleman added that the encounter “sheds some light on the way Mr. Winston operates� and on what may be “a recurring problem rather than some type of misunderstanding that occurred in an isolated situation.� One of Winston’s attorneys told the Times her comments were “out of bounds.�

4 confirmed dead, 284 missing after South Korean ferry sinks By Dirk Godder Deutsch Presse-Agentur (MCT)
SEOUL, South Korea — Nearly 300 people were missing and four confirmed dead after a passenger ferry sank Wednesday off the southern coast of South Korea as rescue workers said the chances of finding any more survivors were slim. Water temperatures of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and the depth of the seas greatly reduced the possibility of recovering alive any of the passengers still unaccounted for, emergency responders were quoted as saying by The Korea Herald newspaper. Nearly two-thirds of the 462 passengers who had been on board are feared to be trapped inside the nowsubmerged Sewol ferry, the Coast Guard said. A total of 174 people were rescued from the ship about 12 miles off the island of Jindo, the government said in its latest tally. More than 50 of them were injured, and 284 people remained missing. Of those on board, 325 were students from a high school in suburban Seoul who were on a trip to the popular resort island of Jeju, about 50 miles south of the mainland. One survivor, Kim Seung-mok, told the YTN cable channel that he worked to rescue his fellow passengers. “The water was coming in so fast, some didn't make it out,� he said. The cause of the sinking was not yet known, but survivors said they heard a loud noise just before the vessel started to tilt. “I screamed for 30 to 40 minutes in the ferry,� one rescued student said. “Things were falling, and people were sliding down the ship.� The crew sent a distress signal at 8:58 a.m. The Coast Guard said the ship listed to one side and began taking on water. It sank in two hours.
More than 100 ships and planes from the military and coast guard scoured the area where the ferry went down, the Yonhap News Agency reported. Fishing boats also joined the operations, and navy divers were deployed to the wreck. Strong currents and murky waters, however, were hindering the rescue efforts, which continued late into the night. President Park Geunhye urged rescue workers to hurry as night approached, saying the tragedy had “truly devastated� her.
“The water was so cold, and I wanted to live,� he told YTN. “The waves were calm when the ferry set off,� a middle-age man in the hospital told the state broadcaster Arirang. “Then, all of a sudden, the ship felt like it flipped on its side violently. People were cornered, and they couldn't get out of their cabins because they couldn't open the doors.� The ferry was sailing from the northwestern port of Incheon to Jeju when it sank. The broadcaster KBS cited a Coast Guard official

Four people were confirmed dead. They included a 27-year-old female crew member and two high school students. No details about the identity of the fourth victim were released. Parents of the schoolchildren assembled at the high school in Ansan or rushed to ports in the southwest. One rescued student told YTN by telephone that he heard a loud noise that shook the ferry before it stopped and began to tilt. Several of his classmates lost their footing, said Lim Hyung-min, who donned a life jacket on orders of the crew, jumped overboard and swam quickly to a nearby rescue boat.

as saying that the ferry possibly was not following the normal route to Jeju. One theory put forward about the cause of the accident was that it hit a submerged rock. “If it struck a reef, it is likely the ship got off course,� Min Hong-ki, head of the Korea Marine Officers Association, told Arirang. “As the vessel was tilting to one side, it is possible its windows were stuck or there were problems with its doors, and passengers could have failed to get out.� The Sewol, built in 1994, had capacity to carry more than 900 passengers and 130 cars. The 6,835-ton ship is 146 meters long and 22 meters wide.
