Record class hits campus By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
A large freshman class led UK to offer apartment housing to upperclassmen who had planned to live in dorms, reopen Blazer Hall and room resident advisers with residents. UK expected 4,800 new students to arrive in the fall, about 100 more than last year, UK spokesman Jay Blanton said. In the last few months, it became clear to the university that the actual number would be closer to 5,200. A team of senior adminstrative leaders was created to ensure that registration, housing, classrooms and advising were prepared, Blanton wrote in an email. UK Housing fit 90 beds in Blazer’s third-floor rooms, said Penny Cox, the university’s director of housing project implementation and new strategies.
Blazer was planned to be closed to students after the 2013-2014 school year. Biochemistry freshman Nnenna Chukwudolue moved into Blazer Hall on Aug. 16. “The power went out, I think, three times,” she said. “And the wifi goes out all the time.” Tamara Stallins, an interdisclipinary early childhood education senior, moved in to her second year in Blazer on Saturday without use of the elevator. She agreed that the internet was difficult to access. Blazer residents may be experiencing internet issues while work on the second floor connectivity closet continues, Cox said, and added that while internet may be spotty, it’s being addressed. Blazer Hall will not house students during the spring semester, Cox said, but will transition those residents to space freed up by study abroad students.
Students return to changed campus
In order to free up space in the dorms, UK offered rooms in the Royal Lex and University Trails apartment complexes to upperclassmen at the same cost as a room in Kirwan or Blanding towers. More than 600 upperclassmen received emails to fill 320 rooms in the two apartment complexes, said Cox. RAs have also been assigned to live with residents on their floors, freeing up another 125 beds, Cox said. The university’s first goal was ensuring all incoming freshmen had access to the guaranteed on-campus housing, Blanton said. “There are certainly challenges associated with growth,” Blanton wrote in the email. “But there are more challenges, and much bigger issues, associated with a class size that is smaller than planned for in any given year.”

Professor accused of misusing $400,000 By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Former UK mining engineering professor Dongping “Daniel” Tao is accused of misusing more than $400,000 between 2008 and 2013 according to the Department of Mining investigation review. The internal audit, which began in 2013, found evidence that in working for the university and taking private consulting jobs, Tao billed both parties for expenses totaling more than $62,000. The same audit, dated June 27th, found evidence that Tao fabricated invoices that amounted to more than $31,000 and used grant funds to buy about $9,000 in scientific equipment, which he is also accused of transferring and charging to a client. “There’s $100,000 in there that directly relates to financial fraud,” UK spokesman Jay Blanton said. Tao is also accused of us-
ing more than $312,000 in university grants and contracts to compensate research assistants for their work on private consulting jobs unrelated to the university. Tao resigned in December 2013 after being confronted with the internal audit’s findings, according to the internal review. He could

not be reached for comment. In September 2013, a graduate student complained to the College of Engineering about lack of compensation for work done for Tao’s private clients, Blanton said. During the investigation of that claim, the university’s internal audit reviewed Tao’s
ther legal action at this time, Blanton said. Much of the difficulty in discovering the alleged financial inaccuracies relates to the volume of private consulting work Tao took on, Blanton said. “The university allows and even encourages faculty
to … lend their expertise in the form of consulting work,” Blanton said, adding that involvement with current research keeps professors ahead of the curve in research. The university also expects that professors fill out overload forms, indicating the amount of work they are doing outside of normal courses. Blanton said it was clear that not all of the requisite paperwork was completed in Tao’s case.. “I think what we’ve found is that a lot of the appropriate policies and procedures are in place,” Blanton said. The university will focus on increased filing training and communication, Blanton said, and will also move toward digitizing overload forms. “We know the vast majority of the people on our campus do the right thing at the right time,” Blanton said.
Five new dorms await students on campus, and those students have already encountered evidence of continued construction in academic buildings in the form of road closures. Rose Street, between Huguelet Drive and Columbia Avenue, is closed due to construction on the infrastructure of the academic science building, said Penny Cox, director of housing project implementation and new strategies. The project won’t be completed until Fall 2016, she said, though access to the street should not be restricted for all of that time. “It’s a little frustrating right now,” computer science freshman Austin Heton said of the construction. “Down the line, it’ll be nice though. I’m excited.” Many academic buildings are being renovated internally. Business management freshman Dillon Heichelbech agreed that the construction blocks were inconvenient. “But it’ll be worth it when it’s done,” he said. The final touches on the dorms, such as paint and classroom podiums, went in last-minute before classes started, Cox said. “We focused mostly on the interior, making sure the buildings were ready for students to move in,” Cox said. “We still have more sod to
lay and exterior to finish.” The new residence halls, built by Education Realty Trust, a private developer, will house 2,382 students, Cox said. “Contractors had a hard deadline. The last three weeks, workers had to work two shifts a day,” said Cox. “They added additional workers to meet the deadline.” Champions Court I and II are North campus’ new additions and cost a combined $69.7 million. Champions Court I houses 740 students, while Champions Court II houses 427. The Champions Court dorms house several livinglearning programs. On central campus, the new Haggin Hall has been constructed adjacent to Central Hall I and II, which were completed last year. The new dorm will feature double shared suites and is home to the healthcare residential college living-learning program. Haggin Hall cost $19.5 million and houses 396 students, Cox said, compared to Central Hall I and II, which together cost $25.2 million and house 601 students. On south campus, located behind William T. Young Library, are Woodland Glen I and II, which together cost $44.5 million to complete. Students in the Woodland Glen dorms live in private bedrooms, Cox said, and the dorms house several more living-learning programs.

More than 100 activities help welcome students to campus By Anthony Gaither and Josh Ayala news@kykernel.com
The final few days of K Week activities before classes brought students outside and together for community service Monday and free food and performances Tuesday. About 1,000 spectators grouped around Memorial Hall from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday night to take in free food and performances at We Are UK, said Emory Jones, community and leadership development senior and
event coordinator with the office of student and parent programs. “This is a great event that allows our university to embrace the different communities, cultures and talents that make up UK as a whole,” Jones said. Several groups and individuals performed swing and country line dances, spoken word poetry and step routines while students took seats around the ampitheater and browsed student organization booths set up on surrounding sidewalks.
Between 9 and 9:30 Monday morning, 1,037 students made their way to Johnson Center Fields for FUSION 2014, a one-day service event that sends students to over 60 locations in and around campus. Since its beginning in 2003, the Center for Community Outreach has sent out students to spend three hours each working for local nonprofits and neighborhood residences, according to the event website. “FUSION is a great way to meet people and give
back,” Brendan O’Farrell, international director for Gatton College, said Monday. The events were some of the latest in the week of 250plus social gatherings, outdoor activities and class sessions to prep students for the coming school year. “My favorite part of K Week was the college meeting that took place in the Student Center,” biology freshman Michael Kunkemoeller said Tuesday. “I liked how good the K Crew was in bridging the gap (for freshmen).”

Parking mirrors campus changes With this year’s new students and construction have come changes to parking and transportation on campus. Lance Broeking, UK’s director of parking and transportation services, outlined the changes for students on Monday. “Anything on Sports Center Drive has to move because athletics has lost a ton of space (about 300 in total),” Broeking said. Notably, students parking in R3 and R7 lots of Sports Center Drive will have to move their cars on game days this year, along with students around Commonwealth stadium. The deadline for cars to move out of these areas will be 7 a.m. on football game days, instead of last year’s 9 a.m time, to accomodate those who tailgate in the mornings, Broeking said. The parking around Sports Center Drive is now residential, Broeking added, which means that students with other types of permits can no longer use the area to park on weekends. The Orange lot on University Drive has 1,236 spaces for employees and commuters, an increase from the 197 parking spots that already existed there.
These additions should balance the loss of the Black lot on south campus, Broeking said, which will be staying open through football season. Parking has lost 21 handicapped parking spaces, but have added more in Parking Structure #2 and the Funkhouser lot. Parking and Transportation has tried to work on an individual basis with Disability Services and the Equal Opportunity Office for people who have serious mobility issues, Broeking said. He also said the department will continue to monitor the need for more spaces. Despite the perennial challenges of accomodating students during the first week, Broeking said the retention of the Black lot and new spaces should cover all of UK’s parking needs. An average of 32-33 percent of students have cars on campus, Broeking said, between commuters and campus residents. About 85 percent of employees purchase permits, he added. STAFF REPORT

Students displaced after apartment incident Car collided into Townhomes at Newtown Crossing apartment Sunday By Anne Halliwell and Nick Gray news@kykernel.com
Several UK students were still unable to live in their apartment Tuesday night after a 2013 Toyota Corolla collided with a Townhomes at Newtown Crossing apartment and three parked cars late Saturday night, damaging the cars and entering through the wall of the residence. Though Lexington police did not report any injuries as of 1:20 a.m. Sunday, the building was seriously damaged by the impact. The cause of the accident was still under investigation at that time, said Lexington police Lieutenant Clayton Roberts, although the police department did not suspect drugs
or alcohol. “He did nothing criminal,” Roberts said of the driver. No one was transported to the hospital from the accident, said Major Mark Samuelson of the Lexington Fire Department. There are four students who live in the Townhomes at Newtown Crossing apartment, he said. People working with the Townhomes had found a place for the residents to stay for the night, Samuelson said, as the unit is currently unlivable and in need of repair. The fire department installed three wooden pillars Saturday night to ensure the unit would not collapse, he said. Neither of the two occupants of the car were injured, Roberts said.
Although the car directly impacted only one apartment, the rooms above could also have been structurally compromised, Roberts said. The Lexington Fire Department was shoring up the damaged apartment after 1 a.m. The students were later able to enter the building to retrieve their belongings,
said Major Lee Hayden of the Lexington Fire Department, but had not moved back into the apartment as far as he knew. The apartment and above residences appeared to be entirely closed Tuesday afternoon, though Newport Crossing declined to comment on the status of the building or residents.

Lawyer: Shots fired at Michael Brown recorded By Stephen Deere MCT
ST. LOUIS — Seven shots. A three-second pause. Four more shots. An audio file obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Tuesday is believed to have captured the shooting of Michael Brown Jr. If authenticated, it would be the first recording of the incident to have surfaced since Brown's death on Aug. 9. Lawyer Lopa Blumenthal said her client, who lives in the apartment complex near where Brown was killed, captured the shooting while recording a video text message to a friend.
Blumenthal said the man who made the recording did not want to be named. She said he came forward reluctantly and feared for his safety. The FBI interviewed him for about an hour and a half

But Blumenthal said she thought the recording was important. "There was a pause," she said, "and to me a pause means time to think and contemplate." Blumenthal would not reveal her client's name or the exact location of his residence, except to say it was in the Canfield Green apartment complex, near the scene of the shooting. Nor would she give out the name of the person who received the video. But she said she was certain the recording is authentic. "I'm 100 percent positive this is accurate," she said. "He is not doing this for the publicity. He has no motivation to lie."

You should tune in to Senate race
With one of the most important U.S. Senate races coming up in just three short months, it is time for UK students to put on their political thinking caps and decide which candidate, challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes or incumbent Mitch McConnell, best represents their interests. Here is a look at what the candidates have done in the past and what they plan to do in the future, should they get the nod.
Grimes takes stance of working-class Democrat This year's midterm election is expected to be a turning point in American politics. Republicans are predicted to take control of the Senate, potentially gaining a complete stranglehold on Capitol Hill. This could pose serious problems for the Democratic president, who already had to deal with the least productive Congress in U.S. history last year. Arguably the most important race in the midterm election is right here in Kentucky, with five-term Senator and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell defending his job against Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. The race has been heated from the very beginning, and with classes starting this week it is the perfect time for UK students to get involved and express their opinions. It’s also a time when students should look at the issues on which the candidates are focusing that could have an im-

pact on all of us. Not surprisingly, the biggest issue of the Senate race has been the Kentucky coal industry. Coal has been the staple business in Appalachia for generations, but coal production has taken big hits in recent years as a result of stricter regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency, such as the regulation proposed earlier this year that would reduce carbon dioxide from coal plants by 30 percent by 2030. Grimes seems to have taken a more traditional, working-class Democrat stance by promising to support a reinvestment in coal rather than taking a more liberal approach by supporting attempts to curb climate change. This shouldn't be a surprise, as no Senate candidate from any party could ever come out against coal production in Kentucky and have a chance of winning. Whether or not Grimes will put her money where her mouth is when she enters office remains to be seen, if in fact she wins. One of the areas in which Grimes could steal votes from McConnell is with the support of young Kentuckians, particularly young women. Grimes has always claimed to be a strong pro-choice politician, and has supported equal pay for women in the past. She has criticized McConnell for not doing enough to support the fight for gender equality,

totem pole. Having only served two years as the Kentucky Secretary of State, Kentucky voters might be hesitant to elect someone with so little experience to such a high position of power. McConnell also has the benefit of being a politician that seems to hold beliefs in line with the majority of Kentuckians. Like a majority of Kentuckians, McConnell is conservative on social issues like same sex marriage, marijuana legalization and abortion. As a staunch supporter of the coal industry in his speeches, McConnell has publicly denied man-made climate change and believes government regulation of the fossil fuel industry should be limited. In 2011 McConnell voted to bar the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases, which are released into the atmosphere as the result of the mass burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal. His pro-fossil fuel stance goes back decades, as he voted against funding for solar and renewable energy in 1999. Obviously the true reason McConnell and Grimes are focusing so much on the coal issue is not because of coal itself, but because of the jobs it has historically provided Kentucky citizens. This is McConnell’s focus. To his

credit, he has a few bragging points when it comes to supporting the working man. In 2008 he voted in support of extending unemployment benefits from 39 weeks to 59 weeks, and he voted in support of raising the minimum wage to $7.25 in 2007. Maybe McConnell can retain enough support from Kentucky workers to make it six terms as a U.S. Senator. As of now, it seems Kentucky voters are leaning towards a familiar face. McConnell is projected to be ahead by three percentage points, according to most recent polling. Regardless of what the latest polls say, this is expected to be one of the closest and most crucial elections this year, and the outcome could be vital to America's future.

Understanding difference of curriculum and standards By Karin Chenoweth MCT
Fanning the firestorm over Common Core State Standards is the fear that by adopting common standards, states are signing onto a national curriculum and thus undermining the decisions of local school boards and educators. But before going too far down that road, an important distinction needs to be made between standards which outline what students should know and be able to do at each grade level and curriculum which is what happens day to day and week to week in classrooms. Standards remain constant, but curriculum can be altered year to year or classroom to classroom to ensure students are meeting the learning goals. Let me illustrate with examples from three high-performing, high-poverty schools in three different states. I asked them to share
with me lessons they had developed to meet three of Common Core's reading and language arts standards, which say that fifth-graders should know how to: •Use a dictionary and other reference materials. •Identify the main ideas and supporting details of a text. •Cite evidence to support an answer. The first lesson, from George Hall Elementary in Mobile, Ala., is on the human circulatory system, part of a larger unit on major body systems, including the respiratory, excretory and reproductive systems. During the lesson, the teacher introduced particular terms the students would encounter in their reading, such as capillaries and white blood cells and asked the students to look up and record the definition of those terms in their science journals. Students then read "The Circulatory System," the fictional "A Journey through the Diges-
tive System with Max Axiom," and consulted other non-fiction books. At the end of the lesson, students were asked to describe the function of the circulatory system in three to five sentences, citing evidence from the texts.
“
expressive reading. Every couple of chapters, they wrote an analysis of the main ideas of the chapters along with the supporting details and an analysis of how the chapters fit together. This unit was paired with an environmental unit they
This is just a taste of these lessons, which are much more nuanced and sophisticated than there is room to describe.”
The second is from Finlay Elementary in Miami and is part of a three-week literature unit on "Hatchet," a story of wilderness survival. The teacher discussed the genre of realistic fiction with the students and then introduced vocabulary words such as hatchet, vibration and rudder. Students read along as the teacher read aloud, modeling fluent and
were doing in science that culminated with a field trip to the Biscayne Bay where students learned about the kind of conditions in which the "Hatchet" protagonist found himself. The third is from De Queen Elementary in southwestern Arkansas and is part of a large interdisciplinary English and science unit on the environment that has as
its core question, "Why is it important to protect and preserve the Earth?" Before the students read "The River Ran Wild" by Lynne Cherry, a non-fiction account of the pollution and subsequent restoration of the Nashua River, teachers introduced vocabulary that students would encounter, with a focus on multisyllabic words with prefixes, suffixes, root words, and inflectional endings such as industrial and migration. After reading the book, they read about the Dust Bowl, which helped bring about the Great Depression, and other environmental effects of industry and farming. Students were then asked to write essays using complex sentences about Marion Stoddart, the woman who sparked the restoration of the Northeast's Nashua River in the 1960s. This is just a taste of these lessons, which are much more nuanced and sophisticated than there is room to describe. And I
should note that these are not the only lessons designed to help students meet those standards; kids don't learn complicated skills from one lesson. The idea behind the standards, which are in place in 43 states, is that no matter where students live or what their life circumstances may be, they should all have to meet the same expectations for learning such as being able to use a dictionary and cite evidence from a text. Those common expectations can be met in a whole variety of ways, leaving all the most important decisions about curriculum, lessons and classroom activities in the hands of local schools and districts. But by having a common set of expectations to measure their decisions against, school boards and educators will have a lot more information about how well they are serving all their students. That doesn't undermine them; it supports them.

‘Boyhood’ is a must-see for all generations KYLE ARENSDORF Kernel Columnist
Our teenage years exist as a series of fleeting moments, consistently thrown out and renewed by external forces such as parental pressure or societal norms. Everything happens in a uniquely quick fashion and it’s over in a blink of an eye. We rarely get a chance to, or have the wherewithal to, step back and analyze our adolescent emotions and what it truly means to be a kid. This idea was explored in “Boyhood,” a film about a young boy (Mason) who, over a 12-year period, becomes a man before our eyes. Young life is a precarious experience. If we’re like some, we become familiar with a group of people and we learn and grow through that familiarity. If we’re like most, we’re introduced to strange groups of people and constantly forced to grow through new experiences and unfamiliar territory. Mason (Ellar Coltrane) is the son of a single mother (Patricia Arquette). He is forced to move to a different city, is raised by two drunken father-figures, and goes through a substantial high school breakup. In a normal script, this sort of backstory would accompany a senseless killer or a ruthless lawyer who overcame the odds. But part of “Boyhood’s” greatness is that it’s unafraid to be real. It simply exists. Its clunky camera movements and lack of
any sort of cinematic eye point to a film of observation. We don’t see Mason’s “life-changing” events immediately change his life; we watch them slowly dictate who he becomes. Mason’s father, played by Ethan Hawke (a fixture in most of director Richard Linklater’s films), is a staunch Democrat, and makes his objections to the Bush regime well-known throughout the early years of the film. There is a particularly humorous scene in which Mason and his sister (Lorelei Linklater) are enlisted by their father to place Obama/Biden banners in yards and snatch up McCain/Palin banners as an act
of “patriotism.” As the years progress, we begin to see how his father’s mannerisms become his mannerisms, and we see how much Mason soaked up in the limited time he spent with his father. This is a film that needs to be seen. The two hour and 45 minute runtime seems daunting, but when the well of satisfying nostalgia runs dry, there’s a healthy dose of the analytical dialogue that make Linklater’s films special.

Richard Linklater, the director of Boyhood, specializes in time-lapse cinema. His “Before” series has recurred every nine years since 1995.
Pro wrestling and film are parallel to one another NICK GRAY Kernel Columnist
I watched “Boyhood” in the theater last week with a friend who had been raving about the movie since the spring. His wonderment came from the movie's 12-year filming period and the sequence of the actors, including the main character, Mason Jr., literally growing up on camera. The technique is a theme of director Richard Linklater, whose daughter was a focal point of the movie as Mason's older sister. I chuckled at my friend's awe-inspired stance. Hasn't he ever watched professional wrestling? The stereotypes of pro wrestling run very deep. It's a sport far from glamorous, with fans who are, generally, young and far from glamorous themselves. The wrestler's gimmicks — the characters they play — are goofy, absurd and beyond reality. I'm one of the 4-million plus fans who watch WWE's flagship program, Monday Night Raw, every week. I also pay $9.99 a month for the WWE Network, a pseudo-Netflix for fans to watch pay-perviews both old and new along with other programming related to the biggest wrestling promotion in North America. Why do I pay money to watch "fake" wrestling? It's the same reason my
friend was obsessed with “Boyhood.” He liked “Boyhood” because the actors grew up during the 12-year filming period. Not only did Mason evolve as a character, but his appearance evolved as well. His hair changed. His facial features changed. His perspective on life changed. He grew up in front of our eyes over the course of two hours and 45 minutes, not only as a character, but as an actual human. Just like Mason, Ellar Coltrane (Mason in the film) grew up as a man throughout the movie. The WWE revels in the fans getting hooked into characters and learning about them as humans. The parallels between movies and pro wrestling — scripted performances, character development and a high level of physical action — drive the point home. The connotation of pro wrestling is very negative. I bet you've already groaned while reading this. The reality of life and the reality of the script onscreen are transparent, pro wrestling or motion picture. Take Brock Lesnar. He showed up in 2002 as a fresh-faced 24-year-old who was booked as the dominant beast that fit his 295-pound frame. Within five months, he was WWE Champion, the highest title a WWE wrestler can hold. His character was built around his dominance that started at the University of Minnesota, where he was an NCAA Champion as a collegiate wrestler. But his character centered around his slogan — “Here comes
the pain.” Take Daniel Bryan, whose ring name is a simple take off of his real name, Bryan Danielson. Fans followed him through the less-spectacular independent wrestling promotions. Bryan, by stature, is minuscule in the wrestling business. He's been an underdog in reality and on screen. The best example is CM Punk. His name may scream prototypical pro wrestler, but his character is a simple extension of his lifestyle — a man who is straightedge, loves to speak his mind and has a great connection to his hometown, Chicago. Punk is no punk, he speaks his mind; likewise, I do too. Punk is a fan favorite even though he is on a hiatus to rest his worn and torn body. Through all the story lines of the last 12 years, the adaptive Brock Lesnar is WWE Champion again. And fans love him now more than ever. Actor Daniel Day-Lewis has won three Best Actor Oscars, but we still don’t have any news about him taking another role. Tell me about his popularity while I tell you about Brock Lesnar's, while I watch him add more fans with every violent measure and every cold stare. He is the beast that males wish they could physically be. But they cannot be. They are not Brock Lesnar. Here comes the pain. Nick Gray is the managing editor of the Kentucky Kernel.

Billings’ departure leaves hole in experienced volleyball team By Madison Tinder
JOSHUA HUFF
sports@kykernel.com
UK volleyball enters the 2014 season after a 22-9 record and a loss to Michigan State in the second round of the NCAA tournament. With nine returning players, the Cats have a wealth of experience this season. UK will have to move on after the departure of outside hitter Whitney Billings, who was the Cats’ first ever threetime All-American nominee after leading the team with 406 kills last season. Although they are big shoes to fill, the Cats have another outside hitter waiting in the wings to shoulder some of the burden. Senior Lauren O’Connor recorded 2.18 kills per set last season along with 51 blocks. She is a threat to the opposing team because of her height and ability to hit over the opponent’s block. Her statistics were aided by a balanced Cats offense that also returns sophomore outside hitter Anni Thomasson. Selected to the 2013 AllSoutheastern Conference freshman team, Thomasson has a big, physical swing that causes problems for opposing blockers. A freshman recordsetting 30 kills and 22 digs against LSU highlighted her season and earned her SEC Player of the Week honors. UK also returns junior outside hitter Shelby Workman. She played in all 31 matches last season and notched a career-high 13 kills against Long Beach State. Additionally, the Cats have two redshirted outside hitters on the bench in freshmen Sharay Barnes and Darian Mack.

UK will have even more experience and depth in the middle of the net. Returning junior middle-blocker Sara Schwarzwalder will be a threat to opposing teams this season. She recorded 143 kills and hit last season. .299 Schwarzwalder is also an excellent blocker, averaging 1.06 blocks per set along with 95 blocks last season. Complimenting Schwarzwalder is junior Kayla Tronick, freshman Kaz Brown, and redshirt freshman Emily Franklin. Tronick played in 14 matches for the Cats last season. Brown was the most valuable player of the high school-aged Six Pack 16’s volleyball club, leading them to a USAC National Title in 2012. Including
Franklin, the Cats have four solid options in the middle. Returning junior setter Morgan Bergren will helm the Cats’ offense this season. Last year, Bergren led UK with 10.95 assists per set and was second on the team with 24 service aces. To compliment Bergren, returning senior Alyssa Gergins will likely see action in matches this upcoming season. She transferred from Masters College in Santa Clara, California, before her junior year. Last season, Gergins saw action in two matches and earned All-SEC Academic team honors. Senior defensive specialist Jackie Napper looks to be one of the top passers in the SEC this season. During the 2013
season, Napper led the team with 443 digs, averaging 3.99 per set along with 111 assists, second highest on the team. Along with Napper is redshirt sophomore defensive specialist Kelsey Wolf, who played 16 of UK’s 31 matches in 2013 and notched 83 digs.
NEXT GAME Who: Kentucky vs Wichita State When: Friday at 6:30 p.m. Where: Memorial Coliseum
For the reader lost in the peaceful bliss of summer, the fall is nearly upon us. The change of seasons ushers in not only shorter days and cooler nights, but also something much more special. That, my friends, is the college football season. America’s sport is back in full swing, starting with a slate of games this Saturday. This season will offer more miracles at Jordan-Hare Stadium and more tear-streaked faces. The season should be nothing short of amazing. Granted, the magic of Auburn defensive back Chris Davis’ “kick-six” against Alabama or Nebraska’s hail-mary win against Northwestern will be tough to replicate, but that’s the magic of a new year. UK will take that mantra into this season as they look to shut the door on years of disappointment and start the ascension back into college football relevance. The signs all show that they will begin the climb with good footing. The offense has improved drastically. They increased their size at receiver, bringing in 6-foot-5-inch freshman Blake Bone and 6-foot-3-inch freshman Dorian Baker. The running back corps has the most talent on the team. Sophomore running back JoJo Kemp, the Cats’ leading rusher last season, returns and
is flanked by Nebraska transfer and junior running back Braylon Heard. The biggest point of uncertainty will be quarterback. Sophomore quarterback Patrick Towles looked good during fall camp, throwing crisp passes and displaying his new release and improved footwork, compliments of national quarterback consultant Donny Walker. But he hasn’t played a competitive game since 2012. Still, Towles is an upgrade from what Stoops fielded last year in Jalen Whitlow and Maxwell Smith. Under a two-quarterback system, the offense slowed the offense to 64 snaps per game, fewer than the 75-80 snaps that Brown wants this year. The defensive backfield will need to improve after nabbing only three interceptions last year as a defense. The good thing is, Stoops and defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot’s track record indicates that the second year has traditionally been a turnaround year defensively. This trend should continue with the addition of JUCO junior safety A.J. Stamps and the return of redshirt sophomore cornerback J.D. Harmon. Both bolster a more experienced defensive backfield that could live up to their self-given nickname, “The Bad Boys.” And you can’t talk about bad boys without mentioning senior defensive ends Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith. Dupree ended last year with seven sacks and 61 tackles while Smith chalked up 59 tackles and six sacks. With the addition of freshman tackle Matt Elam, the defensive line will anchor a much improved defense.

Motivated McWilson pushes for playing time Stoops’ first 4-star recruit slotted behind McClain

Safeties coach Craig Naivar teaches sophomore defensive back Marcus McWilson during UK’s spring practice. By Nick Gray ngray@kykernel.com
Before freshmen Matt Elam and Ryan Timmons made UK a trendy pick among highly-touted recruits, sophomore Marcus McWilson did so first on Jan. 29, 2013. McWilson, of Youngstown, Ohio, was the first four-star recruit from whom head coach Mark Stoops coaxed a commitment in his first months at the helm at UK. The decision came after he decommitted from Nebraska, where recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow recruited him as a junior. When Marrow came to Lexington, McWilson followed. "I've enjoyed campus so far, and last year was a learning experience," McWilson said. "It's the Southeastern Conference, though. We play against the
best." McWilson played in eight games last season as a backup to fellow sophomore cornerback Blake McClain at the nickel in UK's 4-2-5 defense as well as on special teams. mentioned Stoops McWilson's progress during media day. But the difficulty for McWilson will be a glut of mostly unheralded young players on the team, like freshmen Darius West, Kendall Randolph and sophomores J.D. Harmon, Jaleel Hytchye and McClain. "I just keep working and try to become the best player I can be," McWilson said. "Everything else will take care of itself." Stoops and defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot pointed toward the secondary's struggles last season, an issue that lingered from the defenses of exdefensive coordinator Rick Minter under then-head coach
Joker Phillips. Aside from the one lone interception the Cats grabbed last year, UK allowed 8.21 yards per pass attempt last season (last in the SEC), which tells a different story from the No. 65 ranking in passing yards allowed that is in the middle of the pack in the Football Bowl Subdivision. "We had several opportunities last year the same way; when you have an opportunity to make an interception, you have to make it," Stoops said. "That's a big difference in winning and losing games and we did have one of those (in an early August practice) where we had a clear interception and dropped it." McWilson wants the opportunity to change that. "I know if I keep working, I will get that opportunity," he said. "What happens from there is up to me."

Women’s soccer taking next step Gilliland and Pope to help team build from last year’s success By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
The 2014 UK women’s soccer season can be looked at in many different ways. It could be program-defining, a last hurrah for seniors Arin Gilliland and Stuart Pope, and a preview of what is to come in the future. But mostly, the 2014 season should be viewed with much optimism. The Cats are coming off their 2013 season in which they secured their third straight berth to the NCAA Tournament and second straight victory in the tournament. It was the first time in school history that either feat had been accomplished. While they did fall to the eventual national champion UCLA in the second round, there was still a bright light of optimism for the Cats’ future. That optimism can be found in the returning roster. Much of the core talent that carried the team throughout the 2013 season returns this year, including Gilliland and Pope. The forward and midfielder, respectively, combined for 22 goals last year and 61 total points. They also
assisted one another on six different goals. While Pope’s season was cut short four games early due to a torn ACL and MCL, the two attackers played efficiently when on the field together. Other key players like junior forward Kelli Hubly, junior midfielder Olivia Jester, and junior forward Cara Ledman all return this year as well. The three converted defenders did a fantastic job of holding the backline during their sophomore season and helped UK shutout five of its opponents since they moved to defense in the third game of the season. Their defense will be heavily relied upon this year as well. UK has all the pieces it needs to make a run back to the NCAA Tournament in 2014, and possibly even further than the program has ever been before: past the second round. But the season does not come without questions. Goalkeeper Kayla King has since graduated from UK and has left a net-sized hole on the team’s most important position. Sophomore Ayanna Parker watched King play the posi-

tion the majority of the season from the bench and has little experience (two games as a reserve last season). For now, head coach Jon Lipsitz has decided to turn to freshman Taylor Braun as the Cats’ goalkeeper. Braun comes in to UK after winning First Team All-District honors at her high school in Grapevine, Texas. If Braun plays well in her first collegiate year, she could be the defensive captain that UK has been looking for. With all the potential this season has, don’t expect Lipsitz or the players to be satisfied with a one-victory run in this year’s NCAA Tournament. They’re eager for a his-
toric season, and if this team makes history, 2014 will be viewed as the one that set the standard for the program in the years to come.

Youthful Cats hold key to men’s soccer success By Boyd C.M. Hayes bhayes@kykernel.com
www.kykernel.com kernel. we do it daily.
As head coach Johan Cedergren steps into a new season, his third at the helm of UK men’s soccer, he will be doing so with the hope that his band of underclassmen will quickly become a team of overachievers. After the departure of last season’s top three goal scorers and senior defensive leaders, Cedergren will once again be relying on youth, even with seven returning starters. Though there is a gang of talented freshmen coming in, including Stefan Stojkovic and Hampus Agerström of Sweden, as well as Noah Hutchins and Andrew McKelvey of the Columbus Crew Academy, freshmen won’t dominate this season as they did last year. Instead, the freshmen of a year ago, who previously lacked the experience and poise to match their talent, will take the helm. Considering they constitute 10 players on the 28-man roster (joined by 12 freshmen, four juniors and two seniors), much of the team’s success or failure will be decided by the second-year players. Freshmen were responsible for seven goals and 12 assists last season, led by midfielder Napo Matsoso, forward Sam Miller and midfielder Kaelon Fox. Meanwhile, defenders Alex Bumpus and Jordan Wilson provided defensive stability. Matsoso and Wilson have been named preseason secondteam All-Conference USA, and their leadership, even as sophomores, will be vital. They won’t have to shoulder this season’s load entirely on their own, however. Though they are few in number, there is talent among the upperclassmen, and more importantly, experience. Junior goalkeeper Callum Irving earned preseason first-team All-Conference USA honors ahead of this season after recording six clean sheets in 15 starts last season, on top of 45 saves. Further up the pitch, junior midfielder Bryan Celis should be a stabilizing force in midfield, coming in as a preseason second-team allconference player. The main technical concern for the team will be whether they can turn opportunities into goals, something they struggled to do in

their inexperience last season. The Cats’ 25 goals from 291 shots made for a .082 shooting percentage, ninth in the conference of 10 teams. With no goals scored by UK in the past week’s two exhibition games, the Cats’ conversion record is not looking much better early on. If the attacking players are to become more clinical, they must do so quickly, with the regular season just around the bend. The true mettle of the team will be tested in the ensuing weeks, with matches against Indiana and defending national champion Notre Dame on Sept. 5 and 7, respectively, not to mention a matchup with in-state rival Louisville at home on Sept. 23. Though the season ahead is filled with mystery for Cedergren’s young team, he will be hoping they can find
the courage to forge ahead underneath the lights of the new Wendell & Vickie Bell Soccer Complex. After kicking off the season in Dayton, Ohio, against Wright State on Friday at 7 p.m., the Cats will return to Lexington for their home opener against Belmont on Sunday at 5 p.m.
