Tailgate draws diverse crowd By Cheyene Miller news@kykernel.com
UK celebrated its diverse family culture with the firstever International Tent/Tailgate Party from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the corner of University and Cooper Drive. The UK International Center, the UK Alumni Association and the UK Parent Association hosted the event, which featured free food and beverages, music, corn hole, information booths from student organizations and the chance to meet other international students and families. “This is fun,” said Scott Renzetti, who flew down from Pennsylvania to see his daughter Stephanie for UK’s Family Weekend. “I want to fly down for basketball games.” Stephanie Renzetti, an international studies and Japanese freshman, said that this
was the first time she had seen her father since the beginning of school. “He got to come down, so I like it,” said Stephanie Renzetti. Some students had parents who flew in from out-ofstate, like Renzetti. Others had parents who crossed oceans to attend Family Weekend. “It’s great, everyone seems to be having fun,” said medical graduate student Sohil Makwana, whose mother, Anita Makwana, flew from India to see him. Makwana said he would definitely attend the tailgating event if they held it again next year. “If you look, you can see many people from different countries,” said mechanical engineering junior Hisham Al-Farsi, who said he had probably seen more than 100 people come in and out of the tent in the two-hour period.
opportunity to participate in the show and was called up to the stage by Hughes. Rosenzweig was given a child’s block with the first six letters of the alphabet on its sides. He put the block in a paper bag, shook it up, and looked to see which letter was facing upward. Hughes correctly wrote down Rozenzweig’s letter on a pad of paper. “I was skeptical the entire performance,” Rosenzweig
said. “When he picked my letter correctly, I was abamazed and solutely shocked.” Hughes’ tricks were simple and used common household items such as books or newspapers. He began the show holding three pieces of rope that were equal lengths. The audience laughed as he jokingly held two ropes together, claiming they were actually one long rope.
As the laughter subsided, he pulled the two ropes apart. Only now, one appeared inches long and the other was nearly a yard long. His frequent tangents throughout the show contained stories from his life or jokes about audience members. “I was very impressed with the fact that he was able to tie comedy in with magic,” See MAGIC on page 3
Events show scope of campus
“People came out nice and early,” international student advisor Franny Henkel said. “People are really having a good time.” Henkel said that this event had a similar turnout to their other international student events, though the tailgating angle seemed unique. “I don’t know that I’ve been to an event just like this before,” she said. Derrick Meads, manager of Marketing and Communications for the UK International Center and organizer of the tailgating event, said he was pleased with turnout, considering this was the event’s inaugural year. The tailgating event also served as a way to include alumni in the events, Meads said, such as former international students and alumni who had studied abroad. “We celebrate our international family and we want to engage with our international alumni,” Meads said.

Family Weekend, spanning activities from Friday through Sunday, used a mix of campus and community events to introduce families to some of the fall attractions Lexington offers, said student affairs officer Nancy Stephens of New Student and Parent Programs. “We just try to show parents, ‘This is what a typical weekend for your student could look like,’” Stephens said. The UK Parent Association and NSPP are just two of the campus-based organizations who create events like the Parent Association’s pre-game tent party Saturday morning or Sunday morning’s Donut Trail by NSPP, which saw about 300 UK family members consuming pastries from local producers, Stephens said. Education Abroad and
the UK International Center also held an International Tent and tailgating event, according to the 2014 Family Weekend guide, and the College of Public Health visited with families in their own tent before the UK vs. ULM game Saturday afternoon.

tions later in the weekend. UK colleges also held smaller information sessions throughout the weekend and offered families opportunities to meet with faculty and staff. Sunday afternoon, a small group of UK students and parents headed to Spindletop Hall for a lunch with UK administrators and faculty, including the deans of some academic colleges, Stephens said, which allowed families an opportunity to connect with staff who they normally might now. Some families also enjoy seeing the same UK staff organizing and working at family events through the year, Stephens said, because it affords them the ability to find familiar faces at a large school. “A lot of times, the families like the chance to break down the ‘bigness’ of the university,” Stephens said.

Cats’ offense struggled against Warhawks JOSHUA HUFF Kernel Columnist
The UK football team, much like the crowd, marched into Commonwealth Stadium Saturday looking lethargic and uninspired, a mindset many anticipated from a team that hung its emotions out to dry in a come-from-behind win against South Carolina the previous Saturday. The two players who sat out during the South Carolina game due to suspensions, provided a spark plug that energized the Cats and helped rip UK out of its first quarter rut. Running back Stanley “Boom” Williams returned from his one-game suspension and nearly single-handedly carried a UK offense that aside from Javess Blues’ exceptional game, provided little spark in an otherwise defensive game. Williams opened the
game with an explosive 75yard kickoff return that set the Cats up for the first points of the game; a field goal from Austin MacGinnis. On his first carry of the game, Williams scampered for 19 yards and broke the 100-yard mark for the first time this season on a 58-yard touchdown run. In all, Williams had 104 rushing yards on seven attempts with one touchdown. “It feels good (to be back),” Williams said. “I just wanted to come out and play hard. I owed it to my teammates, the fans, the coaches…I just wanted to come out and play a real good game.” When asked if he came out with a chip on his shoulder, Williams said he came into the game with something to prove. “I did,” he said. “From missing the game last week, big game. It hurt. I came out with a chip on my shoulder. Coaches wanted to give me the ball and wanted me to make plays, and that’s what I did.” Given of which came the
ineffectiveness of the four other running backs who touched the ball, it’s a good thing Williams came out with that chip. The four other running backs (Jojo Kemp, Braylon Heard, Josh Clemons and Mikel Horton) amassed just 14 yards against the ULM defense, a stat line that bothers UK offensive coordinator Neal Brown. “Obviously our immaturity showed,” Brown said. “We did not play very well on offense, at all. We struggled, thought we did some very good things on the return game, but we just struggled for consistency.” If it wasn’t for the big plays on special teams, offense and the two touchdowns on defense, the score may have resembled the 14-3 ULM lead during the first quarter. But the return of Williams changed the tone. “Having Stanley (Williams) back, he got in space a couple of times and he’s got a lot of ability,” Brown said. “I mean he’s a really good player. I thought he was patient on those big runs he had.”
Defense rallies behind Bud Dupree to beat ULM ANNIE DUNBAR Kernel Columnist
After University of Louisiana at Monroe came charging out of the gates, scoring two touchdowns and taking an early 14-3 lead, UK’s defensive “Bad Boyz” were forced to reset and regroup. “I take it upon myself to be the leader of the team,” senior linebacker Bud Dupree said. “If it’s not going well, I have to make a play. I have to make sure all of the guys are on the same page and not worried about the bad plays that have happened and move on to the good. Once I told everybody to move on and keep moving on, things started clicking.” Following the lackluster first quarter, the “Bad Boyz” took over and held the
Warhawks scoreless through the remainder of the game. Safety Ashley Lowery led the Cats on defense with seven tackles. Linebackers Khalid Henderson and TraVaughn Paschal had six apiece, Paschal also tallied one sack. Combined, UK totaled six sacks on the day. Dupree was not far behind with five tackles and 1.5 sacks. This brought Dupree’s career total to 19 sacks and tied Dennis Johnson for second in UK career history. Dupree also swatted a Warhawk field goal, forcing ULM to miss. According to UK head football coach Mark Stoops, there’s nothing the defensive leader can’t do. “You’ve heard me say it all along, how versatile he is,” Stoops said. “He’s an exceptional football player. He really is. He’s instinctual, plays with great energy. He’s been a great leader. Very versatile. I feel like he could play a lot of positions. I feel like he could
play any three linebacker positions. He’s very versatile.” Not only did the Cats come up with clutch stops throughout the game, the “Bad Boyz” also contributed with racking up points on the board. The squad has tallied three defensive touchdowns on the season, the first time since 2009. Against ULM, UK put up 45 unanswered points, 14 coming from the defense. Safety Marcus McWilson was one of the defenders who snagged the ball out of the air and ran it into the endzone for a pick six. “No one said defense couldn’t score a touchdown … so why not us?” McWilson said. With a fifth victory under their belt, the Cats move to 51 on the season for the first time since 2007. This leaves UK tied for the top slot in the SEC East heading into the Cats’ showdown with LSU. “I love it,” Stoops said. “I love it. Let’s go.”
OPINIONS
U.S. should value free speech MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
What country would typically be considered the foundational force for democracy? Few, if any people would argue that China is any kind of force for democracy. Their human rights record wouldn’t get Mr. Clean’s seal of approval. Many people would argue that democracy spread from the shores of the Potomac River throughout the rest of the developed world. One of the core principals of modern democracy is freedom of speech. The First Amendment included freedom of speech because this freedom is one of the most important to any democracy. So what does this have to do with China? For the past two weeks, protesters in Hong Kong have been protesting a plan that would limit their democracy. Americans should be paying attention to these protests. The Communist Party has determined that they will choose all of the candidates in Hong
Kong’s upcoming election, an idea many Hong Kong voters feel is anti-democratic and limits the freedom they were promised. The point of these protests is far less important to Americans. What every American should be paying attention to is what has not happened in Hong Kong. Protesters in Hong Kong have mostly been allowed to speak, organize and protest freely—traits one would expect in a bedrock of democracy like the U.S. What most Americans should be shocked about is that the Communist government in China has treated these protestors better than our governments have handled similar situations. During our own occupy protests and the more recent protests in Ferguson, MO, we saw crackdowns against the protestors’ free speech, and not in any insignificant way. Police in riot gear —or worse, military gear — reacted to the protests with excessive hostility. Assault rifles, tear gas, dogs and even mine-resistant armored personnel carriers were used. Citizens and journalists were beaten and arrested. Videos of police threatening to shoot their own citizens are easy to find. Protesters
were treated as the enemy, not as the citizens who police were tasked to protect and serve. That is shocking and it should concern every American. Our constitutional structure gives a lot of power to local governments, and it would be irresponsible to give the impression that the U.S. is responsible for the crackdown on our protests. Individual governments have been. However, the principal still stands. Free speech has been treated better in China than it has in the U.S. The core principles of government by the people, of democracy and of freedom have been given a longer leash in China than in the country where they were supposed to have no leash. We can hope this is an outlier, not a pattern, but one can be forgiven for being skeptical. The same government that cracked down on Tiananmen Square is now treating protesters with more dignity than those in the U.S. That statement should sting like a rubber bullet from a Ferguson police officer.

really hadn’t planned on coming, but we ended up getting tickets and I’m glad we came,” said Kathy Senter of Madisonville, Ky. Hughes chose another audience member to shuffle an imaginary deck of cards. The individual was confused when Hughes suggested he pick a card at random from the imaginary deck, then count five cards past that illusionary chosen card. The individual thought of the card in his head as Hughes pulled out a real
deck of cards. After fanning the cards face out, the audience could clearly see that one card was facing the wrong way. Hughes asked the individual which card he was thinking of – the four of hearts. Hughes flipped the reversed card. It was a perfect match. “Of course I was skeptical,” said Bill Cherry of Warsaw, Ky. “But we were very happy with him. He was good.”
