Drag racing Greek organizations are hot on the heels of a fundraising goal
Greek members raced down the walkway between the W.T. Young Library and Rose Street in the annual Panhellenic High Heel Derby on Wednesday. The 50-yard dash benefitted Habitat for Humanity, according to the Panhellenic Council’s website. Participants supplied their own heels and represented their fraternities and sororities, competing for first, second and third prizes. There was also a prize for the best heels, decorated by the chapters and submitted for a penny-vote judging.

Ministry helps refugees find a home By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Just outside of downtown Lexington, Kentucky Refugee Ministries integrated a little over 300 refugees from all over the world into the Lexington community in the last year. Located in the Arlington Christian Church on North Limestone, KRM works with people who have fled from areas like the Congo, Iraq and Bhutan, which is in the northeastern corner of India. The refugees crossed the border into surrounding countries to escape religious, ethnic or political persecution, said resource coordinator Dabney Parker. Since the beginning of its new year in October, KRM has received 14 individuals and families totaling 30 new clients. “Refugees are the most courageous, resilient people I know,” Parker said. “They’re leaving everything behind — family, friends … and most of the time it’s for the children.” KRM’s goal is to resettle refugees for two national
church-based programs — the Church World Service and Episcopal Migration Ministries — in nine to 12 months. Since the Lexington office’s creation in 1998, it has resettled between 1,500 and 2,000 people, Parker said. There are about 15 million refugees in the world, Parker said, echoing UN global numbers, and less than one percent are settled into the second country they reach, or even leave refugee camps. When the refugees arrive, they are legal immigrants, Parker said, and they get a green card after one year. The process begins when KRM meets the refugees at the airport, then works to find housing and furnishings for the individuals and families, provide medical screenings and follow-ups and train adults in English language to find them employment. For children, Parker said the focus is on vaccinations and finding a school. Most initial jobs are entrylevel, Parker said, because of a usual lack of English language skills. UK is one regular em-

ployer of refugees from KRM, Parker said, as are several industrial companies. Irma Kocer, whose family came through KRM from Bosnia when she was young, now works as the case manager in the Lexington office. “I see the absolute good it’s done in our lives,” Kocer said. “This wouldn’t feel like my home without KRM.” KRM has 20 interns and volunteers in the office this semester, Parker said, four of
which are from UK. International studies, social work and education students have all worked in and with KRM in the past, she said. UK diplomacy graduate student Savanna Norrid said she volunteered at KRM last May and became a caseworker in September. “I don’t like to say ‘I like doing something meaningful,’ but that’s kind of true,” Norrid said. “I like doing something good.”
UK football player pleads not guilty in rape case; warrant provides new details By Nick Gray ngray@kykernel.com
UK football freshman defensive end Lloyd Tubman, 19, pleaded not guilty on a first-degree rape charge and was released to his parents on $10,000 bond during his court arraignment on Wednesday in Fayette County District Court, according to court documents. Tubman's parents paid 10 percent of the $10,000 bond. Tubman will stay with his parents in Louisville through his next court date on Oct. 23 as a condition of his release on bail. Tubman is also required to not have any contact with the woman who reported the assault, who is detailed as his ex-girlfriend in the arrest warrant, as another condition of his release on bail. A UK Police Department officer was dispatched at approximately 4:22 p.m. Thursday to Kirwan Tower, where a female UK student who lived there reported to po-
lice that she had been a victim of a sexual assault, according to the arrest warrant. The warrant states that the woman was "visibly upset, crying and shaking" when the UK police officer arrived at her dorm. The woman told police that Tubman waited in the dorm lobby at approximately 11:30 a.m. Thursday and, according to the warrant, called the woman, wanting to speak with her in her room. After initially refusing, Tubman told the woman that he was in the dorm lobby and she signed him in as a guest, according to the warrant. The woman said that Tubman repeatedly distracted her by knocking her shoe off of her foot with a water bottle while she typed a paper while sitting on her roommate's bed, the warrant stated. Tubman disrobed after the woman grabbed her shoe and returned to her roommate's bed, according to the warrant. The woman told Tubman that they were not going to have any sexual

contact, according to the warrant, before Tubman grabbed the woman and threw her onto her own bed. The woman told police that she attempted to resist Tubman and threatened to scream, according to the warrant. Tubman attempted to cover her mouth, and the woman bit his hand. Tubman bit the woman in the shoulder in retaliation, according to the warrant. Tubman was told to leave by the woman immediately after the alleged assault, the warrant stated. The woman went to the dorm lobby to sign out Tubman after being "previously admonished for not being present with a visitor checkout a few weeks prior." Surveillance video showed that there was "no physical contact or intimate gestures" between Tubman and the woman when Tubman left the dorm. The woman underwent a sexual assault examination at around 9:20 p.m. Thursday.
Police gathered evidence including the woman's clothing and towels used by each person after the alleged assault. Tubman was arrested by UK police on Tuesday and was jailed through Wednesday morning. Tubman was a four-star recruit from Seneca High School in Louisville and signed with UK over Penn State, Nebraska and others on National Signing Day. He was a consensus Top-5 recruit in the state for his class. The football program indefinitely suspended Tubman after the arrest was made.

The UK Center for Community Outreach is supporting students in need with a new initiative — the Big Blue Pantry. The pantry serves UK students who are experiencing food shortages by distributing non-perishable food items that are donated from people on campus, according to UKNow. The Big Blue Pantry will be having a food drive Friday at the Hilary J. Boone Faculty Center, from noon to 2 p.m. during family weekend. “During Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week, there will be a can castle event where students can use canned goods to build structures for a prize,”
“
Blue Pantry is closed, according to the Center for Community Outreach website. “Hunger is an issue that affects a lot of people and it’s an issue that isn’t always visible,” Pyatte said. “You can't always look at someone and see that they are hungry. When other students are facing food insecurity of hunger, that limits their ability to do well in class, to be involved on campus and to ultimately fulfill their goals and to succeed at whatever they want to.” Students wanting to donate to the cause can include, but are not limited to, peanut butter, canned tuna/chicken, soups, canned vegetables and fruits, apple sauce, pasta and sauce, complete boxed meals or
We felt like it was really time, or past time, for UK to do the same thing.” JILLIAN PYATTE, Big Blue Pantry advisor
said Jillian Pyatte, advisor to Big Blue Pantry and assistant director for Community Outreach. Pyatte said that the center might hold more drives if and when it becomes necessary. Since August 2014, the Big Blue Pantry has served any UK student in need of food. “We did some research and found out that this is actually a national trend,” Pyatte said. “A lot of campuses and universities across the country are starting to open these campusfocused pantries. We felt like it was really time, or past time, for UK to do the same thing.” Students with a valid UK ID experiencing food insecurity or hunger can fill out a short intake form. The information will remain confidential, and no eligibility is required, according to the Big Blue Pantry website. Students in need can come to Room 103 of Alumni Gym during open hours or to Room 106 of the Student Center for Big
toiletry and household items. The Big Blue Pantry relies on donations, Pyatte said. Monetary donations should be in the form of cash or checks payable to UK Center for Community Outreach, with Big Blue Pantry in the memo line. “Between food drives and food that has been purchased through monetary donations, we currently have 850 pounds of food,” Pyatte said. “It is definitely being well used and we are seeing quite a few students.” The pantry will have volunteer opportunities available, which will be advertised through their social media pages and on uky.volunteermatch.org. “We are a really caring community here at UK. I see that every day,” Pyatte said. “I see how much students care. I think that is really important for students to know that they can help another student succeed in college by getting the food that they need.”

Public invited to seminar on digital privacy By Tabassum Ali news@kykernel.com
The Kentucky Law Journal and the UK College of Law are presenting an event aimed at educating the public about their privacy rights, particularly in a generation where privacy is becoming harder to keep. More than a hundred people are expected to attend the privacy symposium entitled “Your Rights in a Digital World,” which is being held in the College of Law court room
on Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. “Privacy rights are a fundamental concept and everyone has a connection,” said Jeffrey A. Kaplan, the special features editor of the Kentucky Law Journal. “They need to know how accessible their information is, from banking online (and) health information to ordering Jimmy John’s online.” Benjamin L. Monarch, Editor-in-Chief of the Kentucky Law Journal Volume 103, also stressed the impor-
tance of maintaining privacy. “We believe that privacy is an important legal issue and everyone is affected by it, even if they do not use a computer,” Monarch said. Monarch stressed that it is important for students to attend the symposium. “Some scholars say the right of privacy is dead,” Monarch said. “People need to take greater interest in this issue or that may just happen.” Several professors and specialists in data privacy will be attending the symposium.
USAS memorializes tragedy in Bangladesh last year By Cheyene Miller news@kykernel.com
The UK United Students Against Sweatshops Local 73 organization urged students to remember the Rana Plaza factory tragedy that claimed more than 1,000 lives last year. The organization placed 1,000 flags outside of the Student Center Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. in honor of the estimated 1,129 workers who died when the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed on April 24, 2013. A large poster board in the free speech zone outside of the Student Center accompanied the flags, explaining the Rana Plaza situation to UK students. “Justice still hasn't been served for a lot of the victims and their families,” said USAS member and English senior Autumn Murphy, who said many families still have not received any sort of compensation from the country or the corporations who oversaw the factory.
These people were blatantly lied to about the condition of the building in which they were working, Murphy said. In addition to increasing awareness about the tragedy and putting up flags in memory of those who lost their lives, the USAS held a private meeting with UK Chief of Staff Bill Swinford, expressing their concerns about the university's involvement with VF Corporation, an American clothing corporation that was a contractor with the Rana Plaza building. The university has a licensing contract with the VF Corporation, and sells apparel from Majestic Athletic and JanSport, which are subsidiaries of the corporation, in the UK bookstore and online. Murphy said the corporation has refused to join 170 other organizations in signing the Accord for Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, an independent agreement designed to make all garment factories in Bangladesh safe
workplaces, according to the Accord’s website. “Our campaign this semester is to ask the university to cut contracts with the VF Corporation because they store some of their clothing in Bangladesh and they refuse to sign onto the accord,” Murphy said. “In doing so, what they’re doing is saying that they care more about their own (public relations) standing than they do about worker safety.” She said the garment industry accounts for 70 to 80 percent of exports for Bangladesh. UK spokesman Jay Blanton noted that the meeting between the USAS and Swinford was private, so details could not be discussed. “As always, we had a very good conversation with representatives of USAS,” Blanton wrote in an email to the Kentucky Kernel. “We appreciate and respect their positions and, as such, continued to have a good dialogue.”
OPINIONS
A non-traditional student makes for a non-traditional experience JOSH QUALLS Kernel Columnist
At UK I’m what you could call a ‘non-traditional’ student. What that means, essentially, is that I’m older than most of my fellow students. I’m a 27-year-old journalism junior with a full-time class load. What it really means is that I’ve managed to put myself in a situation similar to those who are a decade younger and have justrecently graduated high school. What I’ve seen in my time here is a number of students who seem to be heavily invested in the school. And while a little school spirit is always good, students should focus less on the school itself and more on the education the school provides. I struggle to balance my life in various ways, just like everyone else. I go to class and work part-time, and somehow find time to study in between. Somehow I even manage to have a social life. I have the same classes and share similar aspirations with my younger contemporaries. I deal with the same anxiety and frustrations they experience too. These are just some

of the reasons why being a ‘non-traditional’ student means nothing to me. The only reason I can attend school here is because I qualify for certain grants and have earned a scholarship from my past two years at community college. While some of these grants are awarded only to specific age groups, some traditional students may qualify for similar grants due to other demographic factors such as ethnicity, income level and amount of dependents. Everyone in Kentucky who gets a 3.30 GPA or above with a minimum of 40 credit hours at community college qualifies to transfer with the Kentucky Tradition Scholarship, the one I received. The major difference between me and traditional students comes down to expectations. At my age, if I set a goal I’ll do everything I can to achieve it; that’s not to say that there aren’t any younger students who do so as well, but they sometimes see their age as an excuse for academic weakness to allow room for simple mistakes. Other people see this in me and expect me to be a leader – not for my age but because of my determination. As a result, I often find myself filling the role of a reluctant leader. If I am struggling with something and notice
my peers having the same difficulty, I’ll organize study groups so we can work on the concepts together and try to benefit from each other’s glimpses of knowledge on the subject. It also seems that professors have higher expectations for older students as well. They know we’re older than everyone else and that we’ve experienced life in different ways than the ‘traditional’ student, only because of the gap in time we’ve had between high school and now. They seem to be tougher on us because they know we can handle it. And they think that if we really try we could be some of their best students. I just wish that my fellow students could benefit from the same tough expectations I have for myself and which have been bestowed upon me. We should all aspire to be ‘non-traditional’ students, and seek to validate our purpose through academic excellence. Discussing sports with prospective employers makes for excellent conversation fodder, but it’s your merit as a student — not as a dedicated sports fan — that gets you the job you really want.

According to Kaplan, the event will feature presentations and discussions by the professors about their articles, which will be published in the Kentucky Law Journal. Speakers at the event include Professor of Law Raymond Ku, assistant professor of Law and Information Sciences David Thaw and associate professor of Business Law Patricia Sanchez Abril. They will be discussing privacy concerns, particularly the lack of protection through the legislative structure in the
U.S. They will also be drawing comparisons between privacy legislation in the European Union. “This is a call to the United States for the legislation to be similar to that of the European Union,” Kaplan said. The symposium committee decided this would be the topic for the symposium. “The main reason is that we are in a technological age — personal information is everywhere,” Kaplan said. “Cyber security and personal privacy is an issue that affects
everyone. The main aim is to bring light to these issues so private information can be protected.” Kaplan estimated that thousands of students have had some sort of privacy breach infringed upon them online. Kaplan has been involved in planning the symposium by reaching out to privacy experts across the country and inviting them to the university. “For the past six months, it has been my life,” Kaplan said.

Hawkins pushes for more playing time in second season But freshman Tyler Ulis will push him at point guard By Kyle Arensdorf karensdorf@kykernel.com
Prior to this season, UK had returned a total of seven freshmen in UK head coach John Calipari’s five-year tenure. In the 2014-15 year, it returned six. One of those returning six players who is looking to gain more playing time is sophomore point guard Dominique Hawkins. The Richmond, Ky., native, who was named Kentucky Mr. Basketball after winning the 2013 state championship in high school, played in 33 games a season ago but only averaged 8.6 minutes per game and 25 total points. Despite his minimal offensive output, Hawkins was consistent on the defensive end of the floor, often com-
ing off the bench with fresh legs to harass the opponent’s best guard. “I definitely think my defense will get me on the court,” Hawkins said. “I’m basically the energy guy, and I’m able to put pressure on the player to make them uncomfortable when they’re bringing the ball up and down the court.” Hawkins especially shined during the 2014 NCAA Tournament in UK’s games against Louisville and Michigan, where he played a key defensive role in each win. His defensive prowess has been put to the test in the offseason, however, as he’s been frequently matched up with freshman point guard Tyler Ulis. At 5-feet 9-inches tall, Ulis presents a particularly difficult matchup for
Hawkins, who is used to defending guards who are taller than him. “I feel like it’s always difficult to guard someone smaller than me because they’re usually quicker than me,” Hawkins said. “It’s my first time seeing someone who can drive and just dish it to somebody right on the block.” Hawkins said he has learned in the offseason about the offensive side of the ball. In high school, Hawkins said he thought good offense meant a pick-and-roll move and either passing or shooting the ball. “But (at UK), you have to actually move the ball, have some motion and find a way to get an open shot,” Hawkins said. He admitted that he has been working on his offense in the offseason. Like last

Second half goal propels Cats to road upset of UAB
UK men’s soccer got a much-needed win by defeating the University of Alabama at Birmingham 1-0 on Wednesday night. The win was the first for the Cats since Sept. 16, when they defeated Xavier 1-0 in overtime. They had gone 0-13 since then. It was a scoreless first half for the Cats as they recorded seven shots with three on goal. Senior forward Justin Laird had four of UK’s shots,
with one on goal. Sophomore defender Charlie Reymann contributed to the Cats’ offense as well, shooting two shots on goal during the first half. The Cats broke through in the second half with a goal from junior midfielder Bryan Celis in the 56th minute. It was Celis’ second goal of the season. Junior goalkeeper Callum Irving kept the Blazers off the scoreboard, recording four
saves during the match and deflecting the Blazers’ 10 shots in the second half. It was Irving’s seventh shutout of the season. With the win, UK extended UAB’s two-game losing streak after the Blazers previously won three straight games. UK returns home on Sunday to face Marshall. The match begins at 3 p.m.
