Students raise money through boxing matches By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Shelby Williams and Vanessa Triplett faced off in the last bout of Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Chi’s Main Event. In the red corner, Triplett, a member of Chi Omega, shook out her shoulders before engaging her opponent. Williams’ Kappa Alpha Theta sisters cheered her on from raised walkways leading to the ring. “They are the most supportive people I have ever met,” Williams said. “They all came here with signs.” Friday and Saturday’s Main Event was the first to feature female boxers. After three rounds of punches and blocks, Triplett was declared the winner of the final bout. “It’s weird, it was crazy,” Triplett said. “I just got in there and I was in the zone and everything kind of cleared out.” Charles Jones, a USA boxing supervisor who has judged Main Event for four years, said the final match came down to competitiveness, hits landed and “domination” of the match, since both of the women were equal in technique.
For Triplett, who works at BodyFit PUNCH and Williams, who works at TITLE Boxing, the Main Event represented the first chance to try competitive boxing. “I’m used to punching a bag,” Triplett said. “Without (Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Chi) I never would have had this experience.” Williams said her first goal was to make her sorority proud. “I’m not the kind of person to turn things down,” Williams said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m doing that.’” Williams, an international studies junior with a business minor, has been boxing as a workout for about a year. She began training for Main Event about two months before the competition. Triplett, a marketing senior with a communications minor, said she’d heard rumors that girls would compete this year. “I fought my fight and it went the way I wanted it to,” Triplett said. Spectators watched from burgundy folding seats, though by the second round, most of the audience was on its feet. The boxers continued until someone fell or the referee separated them. Occasionally, a
The 26 blue emergency notification towers placed around campus in 2013 have been used in five incidents in the last 10 months, according to incident reports supplied by the UK Office of Legal Counsel on Sept. 30 in response to open records requests. The emergency towers were funded mainly by a federal grant, the Early Severe Weather Warning Project, which paid for $147,105 of the project, according to the Office of Legal Counsel. UK funded the remaining $36,776.25 of the total cost of the project. One tower, originally located in K Lot, has been uninstalled and moved to accommodate the stadium renovation, according to the Office of Legal Counsel. The incident reports from UK Police Department indicated that the earliest use of the towers, in November of 2013, occurred at parking structure eight on Transcript Ave. Another activation occurred near Kirwan I in January of 2014.
“
... We’re seeing benefits, but it might take another year or two to recoup all of the cost benefits.” JOE MONROE UK police chief
There was not a profit total available, Alpha Delta Pi philanthropy chair Hannah Maddox said, though the goal was to raise about $55,000.
No specific information about the nature of the events surrounding the call was included in the incident reports. Another incident report noted that an answer to a call in April 2014 from University and Huguelet Drives received no response from campus. No caller was visible to UKPD on the tower’s camera. Later that month, a male caller from Donovan Hall used the emergency phone to tell the responders that he was trying to get to the hospital to receive treatment for seizures, according to another incident report, although he refused to let the answering UKPD member call emergency care on his behalf. A fifth incident report from May indicates that a male caller with abdominal pain and a history of prostate issues called and medical help was notified. Police Chief Joe Monroe said that the use of the towers goes beyond the calls made with the phones. The cameras on the towers, for example, have been used

UK offense lingering as only major flaw for undefeated Cats NICK GRAY Kernel Columnist
In an otherwise easy blowout win, UK began offensively in one of the coldest spells imaginable for a team who had a height advantage of four inches per player at tipoff. The Cats began 1-of-13 shooting, missing just about everything at just about every spot on the floor. With Montana State as the opponent — a team that lost to Grand Canyon by 15 and is 328th in the county according to Jeff Sagarin's ratings — not much was to be taken from Sunday’s drubbing. UK’s opponent was really bad and would be height challenged against many Division I teams. It should have whipped Mon-
tana State, and it did the deed. But the one concern for the Cats moving forward — if you ask anyone around the program, including coach John Calipari — is the offense's ability to make shots against a “junk zone” defense, as Montana State coach Brian Fish called it, like the Bobcats’ defense on Sunday. And early on, the ineffectiveness was evident on the stat sheet but not magnified by a suboptimal opponent. “Every team is going to play us basically how they did — they’re going to sag on the zone or sag on the man,” Calipari said. “We came out and everybody looks confused.” The Cats shot 26 3-pointers Sunday; shooting over a zone, especially one which is smaller, is a way to break the opponent away from sitting in a tight defense. It is not the way to pick apart a zone when UK hits 28 percent of
its 3-pointers. “Now, we’re taking threes,” Calipari said about UK's tentativeness against the zone. “We start missing them, and it is contagious. We score one point in the first four minutes. Are you kidding me? Now we were good enough to hold them to two (points), but that's ridiculous. We have to work on that. We could have been down 10-1 against a good team.” Montana State had a goal in its junk zone — hack UK if you can, tackle them if you must. “I think we made them mad," Montana State coach Brad Fish said about the Bobcats’ physical tactics. “They just wear you down over time.” The Cats’ much bigger men certainly agreed with Fish’s observations. “Teams are going to play us like that, play a zone and pack it in. It's just a matter of making shots,” said sopho-
more center Dakari Johnson. “It’s kind of frustrating, but I try to get to offensive rebounding. That's how we’re going to have to score, too.” UK has just about every team in the country beat in defense and rebounding when it is properly motivated to do either. Sunday's case-in-point — Montana State tried eight times to advance the ball past mid-court. Three turnovers and 90 seconds later, it finally did. Another case-in point — UK held Montana State without a point in the second half for 10:23. But there will be a game in which UK will have to execute in the half-court without having its distinct advantages in size and pace. Someone will be able to score in one game against this team. No one is that perfect. Among all of the undefeated discussion, the Cats’ problems will start when the offense can't cover up a bad defensive night.

Republicans work to hold on to political gains MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
The newly elected Congress has not even taken session yet, and already the Washington, D.C. chess match has begun. Two weeks ago I wrote that Mitch McConnell would likely not barnstorm the Capitol with conservative legislation because it could backfire on the Republicans. Despite a Republican landslide in the elections, most of President Obama’s policies remain popular across the country, though the economy is still in shambles for many Americans. Tie that in with the fact that little has been done in D.C. in years, and voters
want a change. However, McConnell knows that the Republicans’ big wins were not a vote for Republicans as much as they were a vote against President Obama and his dreadful economic record. He also knows that this election had the lowest voter turnout since World War II, and that many Democrats in the Senate had to defend seats in traditionally conservative states. In 2016, the game will flip; it will be a presidential election, which historically motivates a lot more democratic voters, and Republicans will have to defend seats in traditionally liberal states. Long story short, McConnell knows Republicans have to play it smart in order to keep their gains from this year in the next midterms. This is why he immediately said he would like to
work with President Obama and that there would be no government shutdowns or debt default threats. I said that the one person who could spoil all of this would be Obama, by refusing to work with McConnell. Two weeks later, Presi-
“
that is a discussion for another day. More interesting is why he would choose to do it now when there is a delicate chance of cooperation? President Obama had an opportunity to pass immigration reform his first two years in office when De-
Despite a Republican landslide in the elections, most of President Obama’s policies remain popular.”
dent Obama has already poisoned the waters with his move to lift deportation threats on millions of illegal immigrants. Talk about immigration reform has been about whether or not the President has legal authority to do so. What’s done is done—
mocrats controlled both the House and Senate. However, he failed to do anything when he had the perfect chance. His choice to do it now signals that he cares less about immigrants and more about the 2016 election. Obama knows exactly what McConnell knows. If
Republicans refuse to work with the White House and barnstorm D.C. with conservatism, they will pay for it in the 2016 election. Immigration reform is very popular across the country, but doing it through executive action— without Congress—is not. Obama is taking the gamble that he can blame Congress for doing nothing and get it done himself, while winning popular opinion. This move has angered the conservative base—the Ted Cruz crowd, if you will. This anger will make it much harder for them to be mature and work with the White House. Obama is betting that a confrontational move like immigration reform will maintain the status quo of Congress and the White House acting like children who have taken each other’s toys.
If this happens and McConnell cannot control his base, we just might see the type of conservative battering ram, government shutdown Senate that would likely hurt Republicans in 2016. But it doesn’t stop at immigration. Obama has doubled down on his policies in the last two weeks, supporting net neutrality and cutting a climate change deal with China. It is in Democrats’ strategic advantage to poison the political well, which Obama has done. The question now is to see how well McConnell can keep his party from killing their chances in the 2016 election. Check. Your move McConnell. Matt Young is a journalism and political science senior.

Student art exhibit focuses on meat By Matthew Wickstrom news@kykernel.com
Art enthusiasts gathered Friday night at The Old Dixie Highlands on the north side of Lexington for a pop-up art gallery featuring work from students in an advanced photography course at UK. All pieces of art on showcase were related to the topic of meat. Art studio senior John Moore takes credit for choosing the meaty topic for the art. “One day in class an Intro to Photography student asked me if we ever take pictures of dead animals for our class,” Moore said. “The question caught me off guard, but from then on I had that moment stuck in my head. When it came time to decide our theme for this gallery I suggested meat, and everyone else just went along with it.”
Go Green. Recycle this Kernel.
Moore’s work featured in the gallery consisted of several pictures of people savagely eating McDonald’s hamburgers, all of which were placed in rustic picture frames. “I wanted to illustrate how grotesque eating really is, and nothing is quite more disgusting than a McDonald’s hamburger,” Moore explained. Masters of Fine Arts student Trey Jolly had another take on the topic, photographing every meal he ate for nearly nine weeks. “The emphasis of my piece was to illustrate how college students often have to rush their meals due to their packed schedules,” Jolly said. “As a result, most meals I ate were fast food or ordered out from somewhere. Not only is that expensive, but extremely unhealthy.” Heather Sims was one of
many who attended the event to support their friends. “I graduated from UK in the spring, so I know and am friends with most of the people here,” Sims said. “I’m here to support them and see the many different takes they have on meat.” Studio sculpture senior Josh Sevy and Sarah Williams were there in support of their friend John Moore, but didn’t shy from what their favorite pieces of art were. “We both really enjoyed Kathy’s farm animal presses, since they illustrate the origination of all meat,” Williams said of studio art junior Kathy Waldman. Waldman said the goal of her art was to educate people on the personal side of farming. “My photos are from farms across Kentucky,” said
Waldman. “These farmers raise their animal’s cage free and don’t feed them any chemicals. Some even went as far as to name each animal. This side of farming and the food industry is too often overlooked.” The event attracted roughly 50 people, and was put together by UK’s School of Art and Visual Studies. The class is led by Garrett Hansen, who said he’s excited to see his student’s work in the world, and not just in the classroom. “Events like this are great because it allows people who normally wouldn’t see this artwork the opportunity to,” Hansen said. “Art galleries also help to create a brand for my students and get their name out into the world.” Other artists featured included Lee Wilbraham, Sarah Day and Lindsey Scherer.

Cats steamroll Montana State by 58 points, Booker leads team By Kyle Arensdorf karensdorf@kykernel.com
UK basketball finally played 40 minutes of dominant basketball against a team it was supposed to beat, and it only took playing the 328th-ranked team in the nation (according to USA Today’s Jeff Sagarin) to do it. “It’s hard to simulate that length,” Montana State head coach Brian Fish said after his team’s 86-28 loss. “At times you felt helpless, and you don’t know who to attack.” In the previous two matchups in which the Cats were heavy favorites, they managed large margins of victory despite unimpressive first halves (down five to Buffalo at the half and up five against Boston). But against Montana State on Sunday in Rupp Arena, UK put on a drub-
point-total that a UK opponent has scored in the 3point shot era (post 1985-86 season). After taking the lead on the Cats (2-1) early in the game, the Bobcats stumbled to 11 first-half points, the lowest point-total allowed by
bing that Cats fans haven’t seen in UK’s storied history. “I loved how we defended,” head coach John Calipari said. “We didn’t look at the score, we just worried about each possession and that’s what you have to do in games like these.”

It might be hard for the UK women’s soccer team to immediately feel satisfied with how the 2014 season ended after coming off a 7-0 drubbing to Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. But the Cats should hold their heads high as they travel back from Charlottesville. They went through the best season in the history of the program, and sent this year’s senior class out on a perfect note. Before facing Virginia on Sunday, UK played against Arizona State for the right to go to the Sweet 16. In the two years prior, the Cats played against women’s college soccer juggernaut UCLA with the same right on the line.
They were powerless to win against UCLA then, especially when last year’s Bruins would become the NCAA champions later in the tournament. But in 2014, UK had a chance against Arizona State. Sure, the Sun Devils were one of only two teams to hold undefeated UCLA to a tie this year, but they’re still not UCLA. With the opportunity to secure the program’s first Sweet 16 appearance, the Cats pounced and beat the Sun Devils 3-1 on Friday. History had been made, and it capped off what has been a tremendous season for UK, no matter what the result of Sunday’s match against Virginia would have been. And it ends what has been an extraordinary career for the 2014 seniors. UK has never had such a successful senior class like this year. At 59-27-4, it has the best record ever achieved in four years at

scored more points (18) than Montana State had as a team (17) by the seven-minute mark of the second half. Despite the secondlargest point output of any UK player this season, Booker downplayed his offensive performance and keyed on his team’s defense. “We just go out there and try to have fun with it,” Booker said. “Every team wants to play defense, but it’s what we stress the most. We want to be one of the best defensive teams ever.” Fish explained in his postgame remarks why it’s so hard to compete against the Cats versus other teams in the country. “There are a lot of teams out there that if you get a certain guy in foul trouble, then you get a guy coming in that you can attack,” he said. “With (UK), it’s McDonald’s AllAmerican after McDonald’s All-American.”
UK. The class of 2014 also gave the program its first NCAA Tournament win in 2012 and its first SEC Tournament win since 2006. Head coach Jon Lipsitz has said numerous times that this year’s seniors have set a legacy at UK, and he’s right. Forward/defender Arin Gilliland will go down as the best player to ever put on a UK jersey. Midfielder Stuart Pope will be looked upon as a prime example of what it means to overcome numerous challenges during a career, and still be a leader of a team. The “servant leaders” that Lipsitz has praised all season will leave UK as the best class ever after helping the program have its best season ever. It may have come on the heels of a painful and lopsided loss, but the ending to the 2014 season and the storybook careers of the 2014 seniors doesn't get much better than that.
By Chris Hine Chicago Tribune (MCT)
(TNS) SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame's defense couldn't contain Louisville's rushing attack as the Cardinals took advantage of the battered Irish unit en route to a 31-28 victory at Notre Dame. Irish kicker Kyle Brindza missed a 32-yard field goal with 51 seconds remaining to seal it for Louisville. Everett Golson finished with 236 yards and two touchdowns for the Irish while Louisville tailback Brandon Radcliff finished with 136 yards rushing and a touchdown. From the start, it didn't look good for the Irish. The Cardinals gashed Notre Dame for 61 yards rushing on their opening drive and marched 75 yards on 10 plays to score the game's first touchdown.
Quarterback Reggie Bonnafon ran in a 12-yard touchdown. On their second drive, the Cardinals converted a 52-yard pass on third and 16 to Kai De La Cruz to set up and 8-yard touchdown run by Bonnafon. But the defense would hold in the second quarter. After a Golson interception deep in Notre Dame's end, Louisville had to settle for a field goal and the Irish forced a pair of punts. Notre Dame's offense, however, couldn't find the end zone. The low point came on a play when Golson fumbled and guard Nick Martin failed to recover it, booting the ball even further backward, resulting in a third-and-38 for the Irish. The Fighting Irish got their act together after halftime, with Tarean Folston scoring from five yards out on Notre Dame's first drive of the
half. Then following a 61yard punt return by Greg Bryant, Notre Dame scored on a seven-yard touchdown reception by Corey Robinson on a similar play to the one the Irish ran in the waning seconds of their loss to Florida State. The Irish led 20-17. Louisville responded to take a 24-20 on a 21-yard touchdown reception by DeVante Parker. Trailing by 11, Notre Dame answered with a fortunate score as Will Fuller came down with a deflected pass in the end zone for a 28-yard score.

in more incidents, and UKPD also uses the towers to broadcast UK alerts, he said. The towers are part of the UK alert system and broadcast the same messages that students receive via text, phone call and email, Monroe said, so that students who are outside and don’t

have access to a phone or computer can remain informed. “We’re able to get a wide area covered as part of our layered approach,” Monroe said. The cameras on the towers contributed some of the images used in the investigation of the Sept. 28 incident involving four UK football players firing multiple airsoft guns, Monroe said.
“The broadcast notification piece and the camera piece are probably more broadly used than the phone itself,” Monroe said. Monroe could not provide a number or estimate for the number of times the cameras were used in other incidents on campus. Part of the installation costs involved extending the IT infrastructure, Monroe said, and building connections between the emer-
gency towers and nearby buildings. It is also difficult to assign a value to campus safety and security, Monroe said, and the feeling that students may have in knowing that they have access to the towers if needed. “I think in the first year of this (UK alert system) we’re seeing benefits, but it might take another year or two to recoup all of the cost-benefits,” Monroe said.
Each night, 10 bouts were fought, Maddox said, between the 40 competitors. There were 12 sorority dance routines in between the bouts as well, to popular songs like “Problem” and “We Will Rock You.” Delta Sigma Phi was declared the fraternity winner for its attendance, support of the boxers and money collected for DanceBlue and the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass in preparation for the event. Delta Delta Delta won in the sorority competition. Cody Harp, a kinesthesiology sophomore, said he trained off and on for about a month, but kicked it up a
notch with sparring and bag training in the last two weeks before Main Event. The Beta Theta Pi member, who won his match in the usual three rounds, said he wanted to compete “for the experience, as well as just to represent Beta.” Sumner Franklin, who won Saturday’s second bout for Sigma Chi, said that Main Event represents collaboration between Greek organizations more than it does competition. The marketing sophomore joined Main Event last minute after members of his fraternity bowed out from injuries. “We’re not fighting up there because we hate each other,” Franklin said. “We’re fighting to help out with philanthropy.”
