A major league gamer Former engineering student focuses on successful video game career By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
Many kids play video games as a hobby, picking up a controller in their younger years and continuing to play them as they grow older. For 21-year old ex-UK student Aaron Elam, video games have become a way of life, earning him over $200,000 and a full-time job as a competitive gamer. The former UK chemical engineering student competed in a free-for-all Halo 4 tournament in September 2013 in Seattle. Over 100 players were invited to compete, with the semifinals and finals matches played in a one-on-one format. The champion of the tournament was named the Halo 4 Global Champion and rewarded with a $200,000 grand prize. After three days of competing, Elam became that champion. A year removed from the tournament, Elam said he has done what any college kid would do with $200,000 in ex-
tra cash — pay off old student loans, share some with his family, invest nearly $50,000 and save the rest. “The first thing I decided what to do with the $200,000 was not to throw it away really quickly,” Elam said. “I didn’t want to buy anything crazy like a nice car, because that’s just a money pit. Insurance goes way up, and it’ll just constantly suck more money out of you. That’s not for me.” Elam decided not to register for his senior year at UK in August because he wants to commit 100 percent of his time and effort to preparing for future tournaments that may come with the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Nov. 11. “I want to focus on persuing whatever I have with gaming,” Elam said. “I tried to balance out school and gaming during my first few years at UK, but it was just impossible to focus on any one particular thing, especially with my degree. I just want to do this one See GAMER on page 2

Students and faculty team up for sustainability grants By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Students and faculty can team up to compete for $100,000 in grants for their original sustainability projects from three UK organizations until Oct. 15, said Shane Tedder, sustainability coordinator for the Office of Sustainability. The executive vice president for finance and administration’s office contributed half of the funds, Tedder said, and the vice president for research’s office and the Student Sustainability Council each contributed one-quarter. “We wanted to come up with something for this year that had a little more teeth to it and the potential for more im-
pact,” Tedder said of the program, currently in its first year. The Tracy Farmer Institute for Sustainability and the Environment accepted student ideas for a small grant last year, said Rebecca McCulley, an associate soil sciences professor and the interim director of TFISE. This project expects to parcel the money into $5-25,000 increments to fund six to eight projects, Tedder said. The proposals will be evaluated by an executive review committee with members from campus sustainability offices and faculty members who can determine the plans’ feasibility, Tedder said. Each team has to have a faculty leader, but one goal is to build collaborations be-
tween faculty, staff and students, said Lee Meyer, professor of agricultural economics and co-chair of the president’s sustainability advisory committee. “When you think about sustainability, one of the core elements is systems,” Meyer said. “We’re creating systems, not just a standalone piece.” McCulley said any student can become involved. The best grants, she said, will involve multiple campus organizations. “Sustainability isn’t just environmental programs and social programs,” said Caroline Engle, an agricultural economics and environmental sciences junior and the Student Sustainability Council director. “It’s all-encompassing.”
Students and politicians celebrate Constitution Day By Emily Feeley news@kykernel.com
Citizen Kentucky’s Constitution Day celebration was decorated in red, white and blue and served American classics like apple pie, lemonade and other sweets to the students in the Cat’s Den on Tuesday. The event was moved from its original location outside the main building to inside the Cat’s Den in the Student Center due to rain concerns. When asked if he thought that the rain dampened viewers’ spirits, journalism professor and Citizen Kentucky Project director Buck Ryan said, “No, I think the rain inspired people to get
indoors and eat free pie. We couldn’t have planned it better.” Ryan’s “Citizen Kentucky: Journalism and Democracy” class organized the event, beginning the first day of classes about three weeks ago, said economics freshman Morgan Quick. George McGee, from the Kentucky Humanities Council’s Chautauqua speaker series made an appearance dressed as Henry Clay and gave a background of the Kentucky statesman. Constitutions were given out to attendees. Lexington Mayor Jim Gray and UK Assistant Vice President for Public Safety Anthany Beatty, the two Nov. 4 mayoral election candidates,
explained their platforms briefly and answered questions from journalism and democracy students. The importance of this event was that it aimed to involve the younger generations of voters, Ryan said. Quick acknowledged that prior to Ryan’s honor class she “wasn’t really involved in politics” but said now she’s “enjoyed getting a little bit more involved.” Charles Burns, a sophomore majoring in psychology and community and leadership development, was not originally aware that the event was occurring but said he stayed because the event was entertainSee CONSTITUTION on page 2
For some, it is never too early to line up for Big Blue Madness By Joshua Huff jhuff@kykernel.com
A program tradition since 1982, UK basketball’s Big Blue Madness is the opening event for the Cats’ college basketball season. Big Blue Madness is a ritual filled with pomp, dazzling lights and theatrics, the “Madness” draws in the UK fan base like a porch light does curious insects. “It’s kind of become a tradition,” said Roger Long, 48, of Campton, Ky. “It’s really a lot of chaos but it’s worth it. It gets to be addicting for you.” Many fans make their way to Lexington up to a week prior to the distribution of tickets for Big Blue Madness, which happens at 7 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Coliseum. Fans are asked to line up
no earlier than 5 a.m. on Wednesday for the campout, even though several fans, including Long, have already lined up across the street from Memorial Coliseum to get in position for the campout. In earnest, fans are lining up early to get in line for a basketball practice. Fans come from all corners of Kentucky and wait in line days prior to the official lineup on Wednesday, just to get a good spot in line. Rain or shine, the fans will still set up tents and sleep under the stars. Long made the trip from the hills of Eastern Kentucky to wait across from Memorial Coliseum before the official campout for tickets takes place. “It used to be that you just had to walk in here,” Long said. “You didn’t have
to do all this, tents and all this stuff. You used to have to just get in line and go in Memorial Coliseum.” Wally Branson, 48, made the trip for the third consecutive year at the urging of his wife, Branson just so happened to be holding the seats while she was off at work, leaving him by himself. “It gets a little crazy around here,” Branson said. “It’s a tradition, you know what I am saying. It’s what Lexington is known for — basketball. Hopefully it’ll be football before too long. “ Debbie Florence of Lexington made the trip for the first time because of her love for UK. “I’ve always been a Wildcat fan,” Florence said. “But I’ve never been to Big Blue Madness.”
Despite being a resident of Lexington, Florence said the first time she had seen the event was last year on TV. “I fell in love with it,” Florence said. “I had never even seen it before.” The biggest draw for Florence is actually being able to see the players in person. Seeing head coach John Calipari is “a different experience,” she said. For Helen Fisher of Lexington, this year’s Big Blue Madness will be her eighth time braving the elements to get a glimpse of the new UK basketball team. But she doesn’t do it for herself. Her son attends UK and she uses the event to spend time with him and his friends. “It’s actually fun to hang out with him and his
friends,” Fisher said. “Since I’m the oldest, I’m called Mrs. Fisher the whole week.” Seeing the players interact with the fans is what keeps her coming back. “I think the team is go-
ing to be awesome,” Fisher said. “I’m glad the (Harrison) twins came back, I think for that reason right there, they have a bunch of players that are back — so they’re going to be good this year.”

thing and not have to worry about skipping classes or missing tests for different tournaments.” Elam said he started playing video games at age four, beginning with the Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 consoles. Elam spent many hours with his two older brothers, developing his love for the virtual gaming world. But in 2001, Microsoft released its Xbox gaming console, along with its signature game, Halo: Combat Evolved, and his love for video games became a passion. “Me and my brothers got an Xbox for Christmas, and we immediately fell in love with Halo,” Elam said. “We played split-screen (matches) with each other all the time.” In the early stages of online gaming, Halo players like Elam and his brothers were limited to playing against each other using the same Xbox console. It was not until the game’s sequel, Halo 2, came

In the interest of informing student voters, WRFL news director Alan Lytle and Ryan are teaming up to produce a mayoral debate forum that will be held in Worsham Theater on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., a debate the Kernel first reported about in July. “Our crews have been out and about gathering your opinions,” Lytle said. “We’re using your opinions to craft the questions we’ll be asking the candidates.” Ryan said students should not hesitate to involve themselves in civic education, as they are directly affected by political issues during and after college. “There are serious public problems that are affecting young people,” Ryan said. “This is the opportunity for young voters to wake up and speak their mind.”
out that online play began to take off. “When we heard about Halo 2 coming out, we got really excited,” Elam said. “So we got Xbox Live (account) and started playing online. We got pretty good.” Elam, or as he is more widely known online, Lx Ace xl, continued to play Halo 2 with his older brothers while they attended high school. But in 2005, Elam and his brother Kyle were introduced to the Major League Gaming organization. From then, Elam knew his hobby had become a lifestyle. “Halo has taken up probably 50 percent of my life, if not more,” Elam said. All the time dedicated to playing and competing in MLG-hosted Halo 2 tournaments translated when Elam officially became an MLG pro-level player when Halo 3 came out in 2007. He has since competed on a 16-player team in several Halo tournaments. Elam said he now plays an average of eight to ten hours per day when practicing for any upcoming tourna-
ments. For anyone else who wants to pursue gaming as a career, Elam advised them to commit a similar amount of time per day, if not more. “Gaming is more than a 40-hour-a-week full-time job,” Elam said. “It’s more than just practicing so many hours a day for tournaments. It’s reviewing film of your matches, talking with your team and strategizing with them, stressing about being good enough to stay on a team … It’s a lot of work. It’s basi-
cally been my life since sixth grade.” What once started out as a childhood hobby for Elam has now become a part of him. He said it has not only made him richer in his bank account, but also rich in life lessons. “Competing in the gaming community has benefitted my life greatly,” Elam said. “I’ve learned how to communicate with people and work together towards a common goal, just like any other career teaches you in the real world.”

Art appreciation group introduces street art

Kentucky State University senior Geoff Murphy (left) and KSU graduate John Tajh Marshall examine art pieces during a showing at Rasdall Gallery Tuesday.
By Jonathan Coffman news@kykernel.com
Local street art found its way inside the Student Center’s Rasdall Gallery on Tuesday in the PRHBTN Gallery Reception. PRHBTN, or “Prohibition,” is a Lexington-based local art appreciation group. The art they feature is often “criminalized, marginalized and underappreciated in the mainstream,” but they work to create a new appreciation locally, according to the group’s Facebook page. “Street art is such a lowbrowed art style,” said PRHBTN member Graham Allen. “But it has so much more room for exposure than out in the streets.” Members of the group participated in the event by submitting original pieces. Allen, 42, often takes a stencil approach to his pieces, while also using markers and acrylics. “This form of art has a
really raw, rough subject matter and I think it can complement a younger audience that you’ll see here on campus,” Allen said. Students crowded into the Rasdall Gallery for the event. Architecture graduate Matt Storrs came by to support a friend whose work was on display. “Geoff Murphy really has mad style,” said Storrs. “I follow him on Instagram,and seeing his work here is just like watching him blow up.” Murphy’s untitled piece, a portrait of an angry chicken guarding its eggs in front of wild graffiti text, was a favorite of Storrs. Jesse Glenn, a 30-yearold painting instructor at Pino’s Palette, described his work as not necessarily street art, but pieces that fit well with the genre’s wild colors and personality. “I want people to be wowed by the intricacy of
the design and bold edges,” said Glenn. “It takes a long time to get it right.” Melissa Simon, Director of Cultural Arts for the SAB, took initiative in introducing the seven PRHBTN artists’ work to the school. “I think it really is important for us to integrate different art forms,” Simon said. “PRHBTN has been representing the local area well artistically, and it felt like a good match for what we aimed to do.” Street art is a medium that often gets a bad reputation for being created in public places, with or without consent, Simon said. “Some people think of it as just graffiti, or everyday vandalism,” Simon said. “But this shows that it really is its own art form. There are plenty of mediums that go into creating this work and this gallery hopefully can help people see it.”

Modern TV shows embrace the popular anti-hero CHEYENE MILLER Kernel Columnist
Television provides a perfect escape, one we can enjoy on a daily basis if we choose. We love the interesting plots, we love the intelligent dialogue, but most of all we love the characters. TV characters are often an exaggerated, satirical or oftentimes unrealistic reflection of average people. We get to view them under a microscope and see what kind of person they really are. This is what has made the anti-hero archetype so popular. Many of the top drama series currently on TV feature not heroes or villains in the lead role, but men and women who are somewhere in between. We call them anti-heroes because they have major character flaws and don't always choose what's morally proper, but we cheer them on anyway. Recently, my favorite HBO program, “Boardwalk Empire,” began its fifth and final season. If you are unfamiliar with the show, it portrays the organized crime and bootlegging culture in the Prohibition-era U.S. It mainly follows Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, the county treasurer and unofficial political boss of Atlantic City, NJ.
Thompson uses his bootlegged alcohol, access to all of the city casinos and ritzy hotels, and of course loads of prostitutes to sway his political and criminal associates. As a politician, he does well for his community, often generously dispersing $100 bills from the roll he keeps in his pocket. But as one of the biggest bootleggers in the country, he is not above intimidating or murdering those who stand in his way. This season we finally get a peek into what made Nucky such a political machine. As it turns out, he grew up dirt poor with an overwhelmed mother, a deathly ill sister and an abusive, alcoholic father. Quickly discovering he didn't want to live this way, Nucky started doing small favors for Commodore Louis Kaestner, the political boss of the town at the time. He learned everything he could about politics and getting ahead, and that's exactly what he did. Despite the fact he murders, manipulates, philanders, drinks like a fish and smokes like a chimney, Nucky is a fan favorite because his character is raw and realistic. On a deep level, TV viewers like to watch characters like Nucky because they're a more accurate depiction of reality than the traditional comic book hero. Further proof is “Breaking Bad's” Walter White.
Viewers are literally looking at a different person at the beginning of the show than they are at the end. The once timid family man and high school chemistry teacher turns into a master crystal meth chef and ruthless criminal kingpin. He synchronized the massacre of 10 prisoners to make sure they couldn't testify against him. He poisoned a child to manipulate his partner back into his service. The number of times he lied, killed or had another kill for him throughout the show to save himself is innumerable. And yet TV viewers couldn't get enough of his character. The reason fans love anti-heroes like Walter White and Nucky Thompson is because they are exciting and unpredictable. Traditionally, morally upright heroes become boring to watch because you always know they are going to do the right thing at the end of the day. It becomes predictable and stale. With the anti-hero, you never know what to expect. Occasionally they'll do something good, but it's only to make you have just enough faith in them, only to be shocked at their next act of degradation. And that shock is what keeps pulling us back in for more. Cheyene Miller is the assistant opinions editor of the Kentucky Kernel. Email opinions@ kykernel.com.

Street preachers should listen to what they try to convey MARJORIE KIRK Kernel Columnist
As a native Californian, the idea of “Bible Belt Christianity” was something I had only heard rumors about when I came to Kentucky last year. I decided to get lunch in the Student Center one day freshman year and was confronted by a stranger who told me I was going to hell. I hadn’t said a word to the man, and I stayed silent the whole time I was walking past. I listened to him condemn me for sins he failed to mention. The man was careless and responding out of his own emotions, two mistakes many Christians make that can lead them astray as well as deter others from finding answers. If you want to manipulate any religious or even philosophical works in whichever way you see fit and apply that to your own life, then you are within your rights, even if it may be contrary to those religious and philisophical studies. But if your goal is to preach on the side of a street or in the middle of college campuses, then out of courtesy and love for the lost souls looking for answers you had better make sure everything you are
saying is correct, said out of love instead of your emotions, and follows the textual examples you were called to imitate. I don’t write to condemn a man for his actions, but to condemn the idea that erratic emotions and motives have any place in understanding and serving God.
“
soon as they could make a weak argument for their own desire — to spread hatred and pain. Most main religions in the world operate under two premises. One: at the heart, or beginning, of every faith there is a “perfect” being who creates the ideology, logic and purpose that form the “truth” which is the per-
You will never perfectly describe God. You will never perfectly eradicate sin.”
You cannot appease what feels good to you and what is right before God because in many cases what feels good in your heart is sin — like spreading hatred when you are exasperated to relieve it from your own heart. The Pharisees felt right in their hearts when staking heretics and the eventual savior of the world to a cross. The crusaders felt right when they murdered millions of innocent people and pillaged land that was sacred to God’s people. The Islamic terrorists currently murdering Muslims and Christians alike feel justified not because they are submissive to the words of the Prophet Muhammad, but because they stopped searching for the truth in Islam as
fect understanding of the word. Two: we are all human, and by definition it’s impossible for us to reach full understanding of the truth. You will never perfectly describe God. You will never perfectly eradicate sin. But you can try, and you can be submissive to God by pursuing those ends. To this God promises answers and a fruitful life. Street preachers who evoke fights with innocent passersby only encourage wrath and prolong the effects of their hateful comments on the undeserving students, teachers and faculty they attack.
