Students race to catch ping-pong balls during SAB's annual ping-pong ball drop in front of Patterson Office Tower in Lexington, Ky., on Wednesday.
Ready to bounce Ping-pong balls shower from top of POT The courtyard outside of Patterson Office Tower filled up Wednesday morning as students prepared for ping-pong balls to drop from the top of the building. Mark Taylor, director of Market Research for Student Activities Board, stood on the James Patterson statue, announcing that ping-pong balls would be dropped from the top of the building in five minutes.
Taylor made his announcement to the beat of the NaeNae. SAB then coordinated for hundreds of pong balls to be dropped, some of which had a sharpie marking on them. Students who caught marked balls were able to collect a prize provided by SAB. Students stood under the building catching the balls with backpacks, golf umbrellas and their hands.

Police increase patrols in response to shooting By Will Wright wwright@kykernel.com
Lexington police will ramp up officer presence near campus on weekends in response to the shooting of UK student and Kernel photo editor Jonathan Krueger early Friday morning on East Maxwell Street. Residents of the neighborhood contacted Jake Gibbs, the LexingtonFayette Urban County council member of that district, with concerns for their own safety. Gibbs announced at a recent council meeting that Lexington police would respond to the concerns by ramping up their presence during times when students are out and about. The plan, Gibbs said, is to add an extra two to four officers on certain nights. “That’s the time a lot of people are going out to bars,” Gibbs said. “I think that should make people feel a little bit safer over there.” The officers will patrol in police cruisers and on bicycles, he said. Lexington police spokesperson Sherelle Roberts said the higher level of patrols may not be permanent, but that the policy would continue as long as it is needed. “Any time we have an increase in enforcement ac-
tivities it is based on need and we will continue this as long as it need is apparent,” Roberts said. “The citizens in this area had a demand for this service and we are filling that demand.” UK Police will not increase enforcement, said UK Police Chief Joe Monroe, but the department does plan to be on alert for suspicious activity.
“
I worry about people being afraid to walk the streets. I know people are shaken up ... ” JAKE GIBBS Lexington council member “We’re keeping the same patrol levels, but we’re going to be more vigilant with people who look like they don’t belong on campus,” Monroe said. Depending on the time of day, UK Police has anywhere between four to 10 officers on patrol, Monroe said, and the department has added seven new officer po-

sitions in the last two years. Gibbs said he used to live in the neighborhood where Krueger, an integrated strategic communication junior, was killed. “When I was in graduate school I lived like 50 feet from where that poor kid got shot,” Gibbs said. “I worry about people being afraid to walk the streets. I know people are shaken up, but I don’t think there’s any sort of sustained violence in the area.” Mackenzie Pierce, a communications junior and friend of Krueger, lives within a block of the scene of the shooting, and said she often walked down the same stretch of road. The shooting did cause worries of safety, she said, but the quick response of police was reassuring. Police arrived on the scene two minutes after Krueger was shot, police said. “A couple of us were still awake. Before it ever crossed (our minds) what happened there were three or more cops. That kind of helped the not feeling safe,” Pierce said. “I feel like (the increased police presence) will be good as long as the increased patrol is focused on keeping people safe. I feel like they might just get a bunch of people in trouble for drinking and going out.”

Rand Paul’s son, William Hilton Paul, a UK student, was charged with driving under the influence on Sunday afternoon after allegedly hitting an unoccupied parked car on Woodland Avenue, according to a police report. Lexington police officers responded to a call at 11:24 a.m. on Sunday in response to a vehicle collision on the 100 block of Woodland Avenue, Lexington Police spokesperson Sherelle Roberts said. Police found Paul in the driver’s seat of a maroon-colored 2006 Honda Ridgeline with minor injuries to his face, Roberts said. Paul was then transported to UK Chandler Hospital. “A witness observed the subject in the vehicle alone, sitting perpendicular in the intersection of Old Vine and Woodland, revving his engine. Witness then heard a loud crash,” the police report reads. Paul, 22, “had bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and was belligerent,” according to the police report. Upon contact with Paul, police smelled a strong odor of alcohol, according to the police report. Paul was also charged with failure of nonowner/operator to maintain insurance. A court appearance was scheduled for May 12, according to the police report. This is not the first time the U.S. Presidential candidate’s son has been in trouble with the law. In January 2013, William Paul was arrested and charged with underage drinking and simple assault after a flight from Kentucky to North Carolina. Paul was also charged disorderly conduct in connection with the incident. Carl Overton, who lives near the scene of the accident, said he was eating breakfast when he heard a loud crash on the street. “It was a huge crash, actually,” Overton said. “It sounded like two cars.” Overton’s neighbor’s car had been pushed more than 10 feet from its parking spot by what he described as a red truck. The car was smashed in the front from where it was rammed into a tree, and in the back where the other vehicle hit. When Overton went to see if everyone See PAUL on page 2
Investigators seek supects in fire alarm pull
The Lexington Fire Investigation Bureau is looking for a group of individuals who pulled a fire alarm at University Inn Hotel on April 5. The alarm led to two fire engines, a ladder truck and a district major of the fire department to be dispatched to the location. Firefighters searched the building for about an hour and then determined that the alarm was “maliciously activated.” A video shows five people get off of an elevator and head to an exit. Before leaving, a man in the group can be seen intentionally pulling the alarm. After the alarms start going off, the five people exit the hotel. The alarm was pulled in the early morning hours after UK’s loss to Wisconsin in the Final Four.

Co-founder talks safety app, experience at Virginia Tech By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Kristina Anderson, a cofounder of the LiveSafe application recently adopted on campus, detailed the product’s potential for early reporting of crimes in her campus talk Wednesday night.
Anderson took the stage in Memorial Hall at 8 p.m. and detailed her experience as a survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting in April of 2007, linking it and other school shootings to the need for freer access to police. The current number of LiveSafe downloads, Ander-
son said, equals about 10 percent of campus. However, the app’s team does not monitor the number of users who subsequently delete the app after downloading it. Anderson said that UKPD currently receives two to three See LIVESAFE on page 2

OPINIONS
A few thank yous for Jonathan Krueger Krueger was persistent, helpful and kind MARJORIE KIRK Kernel Columnist
For those of you who never got to know Jonathan Krueger, I’m sorry. You missed out. Jonathan couldn’t give up once he’d started something. If he set out to be your friend, he wouldn’t stop until you were family. When I met Jonathan at the Kernel I prayed that this man with no regard for personal boundaries was going to leave me alone. Honestly I was so terrified of working for a real newspaper for the first time that I feared if anyone brought attention to me, they would judge me, find me strange or unintelligent. But Jonathan didn’t have a judgmental bone in his body. I remember one day when it was pouring rain last
fall, Jonathan walked in soaking wet and I laughed thinking, he should have brought an umbrella. But Jonathan did leave his house with an umbrella that day — he’d just given it to a girl he saw on the way who was in only shorts and a T-shirt. I remember being caught off guard thinking, “Who does stuff like that?” Jonathan did. One morning I’d shown up to work on a Sunday before our editor came to unlock the door, and was stuck out in the snow in a maxi skirt and flats. After five minutes of huddling in a corner Jonathan showed up, said hey, saw that I was shivering and asked if I’d wanted his jacket. When my dog died, he came to my desk and distracted me with singing and shenanigans. Whenever I saw him in the hall and tried to avoid him, he would spot me and wave and holler and cause a ruckus to get me to
smile back and acknowledge that we were friends — despite my countless efforts to ignore him. Sometimes I had to literally push him away: he sat on me at the Christmas party, he would throw the Frisbee
“
None of his shenanigans ever upset me; they just made me smile and throw mini tizzies — which he ignored — so he would keep getting up from his desk to mess with me. He took the time to teach me useless things like how to throw a Frisbee and how to throw it through a hoop and

and volleyball against my desk’s wall, and he would try to correct my pieces by typing over me. Every time, though, before I went into some kind of uproar, he would just start smiling and laughing and apologizing profusely, checking me to see if I was ok and promising he wouldn’t do it again. Then he would do it again within 20 minutes.
how to accidently hit our news editor with it. He taught me that I can’t give up on people. More importantly he taught me that I can’t give up on myself. Jonathan and I both had medical issues with our knees, and when I told him I didn’t have time to rehabilitate mine, he decided to become my coach. His house is about a
block away from mine and every time he saw me in my running shoes he’d wave and cheer. If I brought junk food to the office, he’d always eat my fries — “part of the support.” The last night we worked together, he was juggling the volleyball and kicked it at me. Ready for the first time, I received it, passed it back, and then he threw it at our designer who slammed it into the ground and shattered one of the ceiling tiles above my desk. After we stopped laughing, he spent most of the rest of the night putting it back together. Once every one was allowed to leave, Jonathan continued to work on the website and photos and would double check with our editor to see if she needed anything. When there was nothing left to do, he hopped on his bike then asked me if I needed anything. I said no, and as he got his bike I said goodbye. If I’d known that was going to be the last time I would see
him I wish I would have said thank you. Thanks for always playing with me, thanks for singing and dancing all the time, thanks for being a gentleman, thanks for having a kind heart, thanks for eating my fries, thanks for encouraging me, and thanks for spreading love wherever you went. We lost so much when we lost you, but at times it feels like you’re still here. Every time someone says it’s too hot in the office I hear you saying, “Sorry, I’ll leave,” or whenever someone sets it up, I picture you racing to say, “That’s what she said!” Despite everything that’s happened, you have stayed in the office. You decorate its walls, you literally put the roof back over my head, you echo in our laughter and your name is written in our family’s book. Thank you Jonathan, for everything.

‘Orphan Black’ an epic sci-fi, character study in one ANNE HALLIWELL Kernel Columnist
Rejoice, sestras and sestra-brothers: the best science fiction show on TV restarted over the weekend. “Orphan Black” is back and bringing the world’s most diverse one-woman show with it.
Tatiana Maslany, for those with little knowledge of the show, plays no less than five major characters currently and has had smaller roles as four more clones over the course of two seasons. Worry not, though — it’s amazingly easy to forget that the same actress plays all of these parts, as the characters’ looks, personalities and mannerisms are clearly divided from each first appearance.
The thing about “Orphan Black” is that explaining its premise beyond “clones” is a little difficult. It’s at times an engrossing sci-fi epic, but other episodes dive hard into character studies and questions of nature versus nurture. But somewhere inside the fast-paced plotlines and deep ideas. Somehow, in the space of 20 episodes, the series has managed to set up complex interpersonal relationships
between characters played by the same woman, flesh out backstories for each of the remaining main characters, and make almost every single person on screen someone to root for. The exception is Paul (Dylan Bruce). Every show needs an annoying potential love interest. It’s still refreshing that this one is male. In fact, because so many of the major characters are female (and many share genetic material),
“Orphan Black” is the rare show that lets its actress(es) do the vast majority of the swashbuckling. The men are more often the worriers, the watchers and the people who react to the women’s movements. The show manages to make points in favor of gender equality as well — it’s not often the only plot point, but in between balancing the scientific mysteries and a whole host of organizations with bad intentions, the writ-
ers have managed to work in pro-choice politics and the fluidity of sexual and gender identity. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But for those looking for better representation on TV and a heck of a cool storyline, “Orphan Black” may be worth a shot. Anne Halliwell is the news editor of the Kentucky Kernel.

he was slurring his speech,” Overton said. “It wasn’t long before (paramedics) put him onto a stretcher and started cleaning up.” The Kentucky Kernel was not able to reach Rand Paul’s Lexington office or his office in Washington, D.C., for comment on Sunday’s arrest. Rand Paul’s office issued a
statement after William Paul’s arrest in 2013. “Sen. Paul is a national public figure and subject to scrutiny in the public arena. However, as many parents with teenagers would understand. His family should be afforded the privacy and respect in a situation such as this,” the statement said.
the Virginia Tech shooting, wherein she and her classmates were trapped. Some were injured and many were killed by the shooter over the course of nine to twelve minutes. “I don’t have a lot of visual memories from that day,” Anderson said. “What stays with you is the sound (of fire and coughing) and the smell (of gunpowder).” Anderson survived, but was shot twice in the back and once in her foot. Of the 18 people in her class, 12 were killed. In reaction, years later,
Anderson became involved with the LiveSafe startup back when it was conceived as “CrimeQuestion,” a crime-reporting app. Anderson referenced a bystander study about prior knowledge of school-based violence conducted by the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Education in 2008. The study stated that in 93 percent of cases, the attacker exhibited “concerning behavior” before the attacks. “Second, and more significant, at least one other person
had some type of knowledge of the attacker’s plan in 81 percent of the incidents and more than one person had such knowledge in 59 percent of the incidents,” the report read. “Of those individuals who had prior knowledge, 93 percent were peers of the perpetrators – friends, schoolmates, or siblings.” Anderson said that while campus security has improved since 2007, the goal of the app was to give students another tool to access police and plan a response in case of emergency.

Organization founded to empower women
Steed comes through with heroic hit in Cats win
‘REAL’ to build leadership through service By Cheyene Miller news@kykernel.com
Student government member Julia Vega wanted to give women at UK a place to feel empowered and share ideas with other women from different backgrounds. This led her and her friend Chanel Friday to found “Reaching out to Empower Ambitious Ladies.” “We want to empower the women on campus and in our community,” said Vega, vice president and cofounder of REAL. “We also want to build leadership skills through service.” Vega said the organization has weekly meetings that are usually held Thursdays at 6 or 6:30, with varying time and locations. “We get together and we bounce ideas off of each other on what kind of events we can do, and how we can reach out to other women,” said Vega, who noted that so far the organization has had two bake sales and created greeting cards for children at UK
Medical Center. According to Vega, the organization is hosting an information session on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the gallery of the William T. Young Library, where they will be featuring Theta Nu Xi, a multicultural sorority, to take part in the information and meet-in-greet session. The organization is also planning to hold a bra pong competition on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Student Center patio. According to Vega, the organization does not collect dues from its 13 members as of now, but it received $1,500 from the Student Government Association. Kathleen Smith, SGA Appropriations and Revenue committee chair, said that “the committee came to this decision because we felt as if REAL was an organization that embodied the purpose of the Student Government Association. REAL is the very first recipient of the Multicultural
Go Green. Recycle this Kernel.
Inclusion Grant, a new type of grant that was developed this semester.” According to Smith, the grant is awarded to any registered student organization that promotes diversity and multicultural inclusion on campus, something Vega said is one of the main goals of REAL. “We’re constantly getting new people,” said Vega, who noted that the organization encourages diand welcomes versity women from all walks of life. “One thing we do have in common is that we’re women.” Vega said that the organization also intends to encourage women to take leadership roles in society. “In this society a lot of women aren't heard, and a lot of women aren't able to fit leadership roles,” Vega said. “We support each other and each other’s ideas.” Vega said that students can learn more about the organization by following them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and OrgSync.

UK’s coach Rachel Lawson lamented on Tuesday about her team’s lack of toughness and that message sunk in on Wednesday as UK overcame 18 strikeouts to grit out a 1-0 lead against WKU behind its star pitcher Kelsey Nunley. Lawson was proud of the resiliency of her team, especially after suffering an embarrassing run-loss rule to rival Louisville just 24 hours ago. “Before the game we knew it was going to be tough,” Lawson said. “We talked about taking each at-bat one at a time because we thought that we wouldn’t really be able to get on her the third time through the order, and they stuck with the game plan and did it. And I think any time a team can stick with the game plan they set at the beginning of the game says a lot about their toughness.” With the win, Nunley earned her historic 70th career win to surpass Chanda Bell on UK’s all-time wins list. “I’m happy. I knew Chanda Bell was a great pitcher, so it’s a great accomplishment.” Nunley said. “I’m just proud.” Nunley allowed six hits and struck out nine, but despite the win, was overshadowed by the brilliance of WKU’s Miranda Kramer. Despite the 18 strikeouts, Kramer gave up the only run of the game in the ninth inning. UK finally solved Kramer after Maisie Steed hit an infield single that drove in Christian Stokes to give UK the much-needed victory. “She’s a great pitcher,” Nunley said of Kramer. “That’s why she’s third in the nation in ERA. Props to her because she played a really good game.”

Junior pitcher Kelsey Nunley (33) pitches during the softball game against WKU on Wednesday in Lexington, Ky. Kentucky won the game 1-0.
Lawson was also in awe of the WKU pitcher. Kramer’s 18 strikeouts set a new record for the most strikeouts UK has had in a game. “She has exceptional spin. I think she’s got the best spin in the country,” Lawson said. “She can throw each pitch in several zones and it spins in a way that you’ve never seen before. It’s really tough visually to lock in on that. She’s also somebody that keeps her team in the game long enough, and that’s why they’ve been able to produce the season that they’ve had this year as well. I think that anybody who can barrel up on
the ball against her has really done something special.” With the win, UK pushed its record to 29-17, but upcoming games against Georgia and Tennessee will test the fortitude of a team that is still looking for its identity. “We had a really embarrassing loss last night. So coach just got us back together and just told us that we’ve got to go out and play tough.” Nunley said. “ It’s not going to get any easier from here on out, so if we don’t get ourselves together and start playing better we’re not going to be able to do as good as we want to do.”
