Freshmen Cami Moore and Maylon Ellington secure blankets on a fort during a fort-building competition Friday. Organizers donated 615 blankets to the Lexington Hope Center after the event.
Building awareness By Yan Wang news@kykernel.com
While UK fans were camping around Memorial Coliseum for Big Blue Madness, students from different organizations gathered outside of the Singletary Center on Friday to participate in a fort-building competition. The second annual fort-building competition set student groups against each other in a 90-minute challenge to set up the best blanket fort. The competition was sponsored by Wrap Up America, a national organization that aims to raise awareness of poverty by donating blankets to charity. The students erected towers, tents and shelters with PVC pipes and cov-
ered them with colorful blankets. Students from the Pi Beta Phi sorority won for their construction. The event raised awareness for homelessness and donated 615 blankets used to create the forts to the Lexington Hope Center after the event, said chemical engineering junior and event chair Will Tompkins. The Hope Center provides services like recovery programs for men and women, mental health programs, social services, as well as employment and permanent housing programs, according to the organization’s website. “Each blanket that we have here is going to impact somebody at the Hope Center in a positive meaningful way,” Tompkins said.
SEC West hurts Cats’ perception
Trevor Joelson, president of Wrap Up America, said most of the blankets used in the competition were purchased from Walgreens at less than cost. He encouraged students to bring their own blankets for donation. “These blankets, for me, are not as meaningful as the blankets someone brings from home,” Joelson said. “What we really want is someone who has a blanket lying around in their basement or their closet … and is willing to donate because they know someone needs them more than that.” Carey Cairo, development coordinator of the Hope Center, said the organization provides services to about 800 people every night.
The blankets donated will help the homeless people in the Hope Center get through the cold winter, Cairo said. “It’s a fantastic donation,” Cairo said. “If this winter is anything like last winter, we will definitely need blankets and (cold) weather supplies.” Erin Klamic, a natural resources and environmental science junior in Pi Beta Phi, said the activity was a good way to raise awareness and bring people together. “It’s a really good cause,” Klamic said. “Obviously, the homeless problem in Lexington is really big. Also, the whole UK community comes together to do something. So we obviously want to have our organization involved.”

Wide receiver DeAndrew White (2) and Alabama lead a strong SEC West, with the Crimson Tide storming past Florida on Saturday.
JOSHUA HUFF Kernel Columnist
The SEC East had a rough go of it this Saturday. With no teams separating themselves from the mediocre pack that exists within in the SEC East, an uninspired division could dilute the progress of UK football. Missouri lost to an average Indiana University team that lost to Bowling Green last week. South Carolina barely beat a Vanderbilt team whose only win came from the University of Massachusetts. Florida held its own against No. 2 Alabama through one half until the Gators’ secondary flopped
and Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper and quarterback Blake Sims took flight. We’re at a point in the season where the rumbles are slowly beginning to turn into shouts. South Carolina is not a pretty football team and is not the contender they were expected to be during the preseason. Georgia, as expected, rolled over Troy and is in the conversation to win the SEC East, though the Bulldogs lost to the Gamecocks in Columbia, S.C. Yet doing more shouting than rumbling these days are the teams within the SEC West, specifically Arkansas and Mississippi State. Mississippi State strolled into Death Valley and upended LSU. It’s the first win for Mississippi State against See SEC WEST on page 2

initiates per day,

UK pharmaceutical sciences professor Chang-Guo Zhan is working on the first FDA-approved drugs to treat cocaine overdoses and addiction in the Molecular Modeling and Biopharmaceutical Center, according to information specialist senior Keith Hautala in an article for UKNow. There is currently no approved treatment for potentially deadly cocaine overdose. Zhan’s drugs, funded by grant money from the National Institutes of Health, are currently in clinical human trials, Zhan told Hautala. Using an enzyme from bacteria found in the soil where coca, the source of cocaine, is grown, Zhan hopes to use one drug to neutralize cocaine in the bloodstream and another to remain in the body to nullify the effects of drug use, which should help break the cycle of addiction, he told Hautala.
The enzyme, called bacterial cocaine esterase, helps break down cocaine into less-harmful products. In nature, the enzyme decays too quickly to be of use in medicine, with a half-life of about 12 minutes at human body temperature. Zhan and a team of researchers from UK, Columbia University and University of Michigan introduced mutations to the enzyme in an attempt to keep the qualities they wanted while rooting out any problems that would make it unusable as a drug, Zhan told Hautala. By using the enzyme, the number of possible treatments has been narrowed down to a few efficable options, instead of the work that would go in to testing thousands of compounds. The team introduced See OVERDOSE on page 2

Volleyball’s winning streak is four as Cats beat Xavier By Madison Tinder news@kykernel.com
UK volleyball defeated Xavier 3-1 (24-26, 25-20, 25-23, 25-18) for the Cats’ fourth consecutive victory. No. 15 UK (10-2) had a strong defensive effort from senior libero Jackie Napper, who had a 24-dig effort while freshman middle blocker Emily Franklin added a career-high seven blocks and senior outside hitter Lauren O’Connor tallied five. “Offensively, we did a better job as the night went on,” UK head coach Craig Skinner said. “But defense is a big part of winning this and holding a team like Xavier.” On the front line, sophomore outside hitter Anni Thomasson added 14 kills with only three errors. O’Connor added 13 kills while junior setter Morgan Bergren had a career-high 11 kills and 37 assists for her fifth double-double of the season. UK struggled to pull away in the first set after Xavier countered several volleys from the Cats. UK was behind until O’Connor landed back-to-back kills to tie it at 19. The game was back and forth until Xavier tipped the ball over to make
it 25-24 for the Musketeers, who took the first set 2624. In the second set, UK started out with a 10-8 lead but Xavier battled back to tie the game. Bergren added two kills for the Cats and junior outside hitter Shelby Workman tallied back-toback kills which led to a miss communication for Xavier and the Cats took advantage and the set 2520. The third set was another battle, but UK’s blocking effort changed the game. The Cats led most of the set until offensive errors starting adding up. The set was tied 22-22 until O’Connor and Franklin tallied two blocks. A Thomasson kill propelled UK to a 25-23 win. Riding the momentum from the third set, solid play from UK continued as the Cats jumped to a 10-5 lead. Bergren led the charge that put the Cats ahead for good. Three blocks for UK closed out the set and the game at 25-18. “It’s really the presence of our block at the net that makes a big difference,” Skinner said. “It’s not easy to lose the first set and then respond.” As a team, the Cats hit .190, but limited Xavier to

a ranked opponent since 1986. Quarterback Dak Prescott is a true Heisman contender and the predictions that UK will shake its SEC win drought against the Bulldogs are looking laughable at best. Arkansas won Saturday behind 215 passing yards and 212 rushing yards. The Hogs were 10 of 14 on
third downs without any turnovers. Arkansas is a dangerous team right now, and with a clash against Texas A&M next weekend, the SEC West may be in for a power shakeup. So how does the play of the SEC West play into UK football? As everybody knows, the Cats play in the SEC East. UK lost to SEC East division opponent Florida last week, which proceeded to get destroyed by Alabama, a team from the SEC West.

Both drugs should neutralize the effects of cocaine, Zhan told Hautala, but the overdose treatment will have to work quickly to save patients’ lives, while the goal of the other is to remain in effect for a longer period of time so that a patient who takes more of the drug will not feel those effects either and may stop the addiction cycle.

aces. The win ended UK’s nonconference portion of the schedule. UK starts conference play at LSU at 9 p.m. on Wednesday.
The SEC West at this point in the season has lost just two games, and those losses come from teams within the SEC West. It means UK plays in a division that is diluting the best conference in the country. The SEC West could possibly have every team within the division in the Top 25 come next weekend’s end. Yet the SEC East has no identity. We could hypothetically have an SEC East that does not have a standout team until the
waning weeks of the college football season. That does not bode well for the Cats. Regardless of how well UK does this season, bowl game or not, the expectations of teams in the SEC East are low. UK can have a fourgame improvement from last year, but the talent discrepancy in the SEC West will dilute any improvement UK has. People will shrug off the Cats as a team who has improved in a weak division.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
CORRECTION
UK contradicts itself on limiting free speech Dear President Capilouto, You speak from both sides of your mouth — one supporting free speech, and another stifling it. May I quote you? “Our University welcomes the free exchange of ideas,” and “Our University has no patience for the peddlers of poisonous views.” Your statements are contradictory, in my opinion. ”…Candidates for public office were invited to campus,” and then a microphone was disconnected in the middle of write-in Senate candidate Robert Ransdell’s speech. You applaud that disconnection loudly. His comments, though reflecting what many view as anger and ignorance, are free speech; they are not “cloaked” in it as if covert or unseen. Correctly, you say “Everyone is free to believe what they believe; and say
what they want to say.” And then you say one man’s beliefs have “no place in our community.” For years on this campus, a fire-and-brimstone preacher has hollered and insulted numerous people from the free speech area behind the Student Center. I didn’t, and don’t agree with his line of thought, but I certainly did believe in his constitutional right to speak freely, so when he addressed me, I just bid him a good day and went on my way. Back in 1990, Jello Biafra burned an American flag during his speech here on campus. This was offensive and supremely radical to many, but his right to free speech protected it. I’ve heard and probably said some left-field stuff in classes here at UK. Whose job is it to decide what is foolish and ill in-

formed? Are you the keeper of what’s ignorant and what’s not? Will you also decide those things about evolution and creationism? Who will decide what’s allowed in political speech and what’s not? What you and others involved here have missed is a teaching opportunity. Isn’t it funny that teaching and learning are what this university is about? Why not write to us, and those high school students, about your positions on race, refute the Ransdell’s ideas and add your thoughts about free speech? I don’t agree with that man. I find his ideas repugnant, as most on this campus would. Free speech is ugly at times, as in this case, but it is to be vehemently protected, not selfrighteously dismissed. Sincerely, Kevin R.
