Students and staff posed with construction equipment at the Student Center Demolition Party on Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Others gathered for free hot dogs and lemonade and chowed down in the Student Center patio seats and the surrounding lawn. Economics freshman Katie Mackey and psychology freshman Tabitha Jones posed with inflatable mallets and a brick prop for a photo by Bluegrass Photo Booth. “I don’t have that many memories here — I have some, but I’m kind of excited to build memories at the new one,” Jones said. A little ways over, members of UK’s Sigma Pi fraternity sold donuts on Wednesday to help subsidize dues for brothers in need.
Ryan McArthur, a business management sophomore, hawked the donuts in the arch underneath the Student Center’s connecting walkway. McArthur got 80 pastries from North Lime Coffee & Donuts. He said the proceeds would go toward a brother’s fees, as the fraternity member’s mother had fallen ill. “We’re supporting him to allow him to be part of our brotherhood,” McArthur said. Biology sophomore Ryan Babb said that the table had been set up since 11. The donuts, sold for a dollar apiece, were gone by about 2 p.m. Babb later said that the table had made $154 in the few hours they were set up. “People have been just donating and not getting donuts,” Babb said. “When they realize it’s for a good cause, it causes people to just reach out.”
SGA welcomes new president By Cheyene Miller news@kykernel.com
New leadership in the Student Government Association officially began on Wednesday evening as Austin Mullen was sworn in as the student body president. Mullen took the oath of office alongside his vice president Jenna Hollinden, followed by the swearing in of the new SGA senators.
“I just want to thank you all for everything this year,” said Mullen, who defeated fellow SGA member Dwight Haggard earlier in the semester for the position. “I’m super grateful for the opportunity. I’m very thankful to be in this position.” Mullen campaigned on the promise to implement two new positions — director of See PRESIDENT on page 4
UK students gave a feminist twist to an iconic college game Wednesday afternoon with a “Bra-Pong” competition outside the Student Center. The competition was hosted by the organization Reaching Out to Empower Ambitious Ladies and featured nearly 50 students over the course of the evening. Music and candy were provided and six prizes were awarded to students. “People got really competitive and playfully talked trash,” said REAL vice president Julia Vega. “(We) had a lot of fun.”
UK athletics adopts new logo By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
It’s no secret that the campus of UK is getting a major face-lift in the next few years. New dorms are popping up in different locations seemingly every semester. The Student Center is getting torn down, only to be built anew in the same spot. Commonwealth Stadium will look much different by UK Football’s season opener in August. But the university’s most recent change isn’t quite as noticeable as the others. The recognizable “UK” logo that is used for all of the program’s athletic teams got a subtle nip and tuck to go along with the major changes around campus. UK Athletics revealed the new logo to the public on Wednesday with a shared Twitter photo of a remodeled Memorial Coliseum hardwood floor. “After more than a year of research, feedback and work, we determined it was time to refresh our primary

mark,” Executive Associate Athletics Director Jason Schlafer said. The change to Memorial Coliseum’s floor was due to a water leak in the building, according to Schlafer. The hardwood surface now fea-
tures a checkerboard-designed blue boundary line around the court, a different SEC logo in the paint, and of course, the new “UK” logo in the middle of the floor. The new logo will also be displayed in the turf of
Commonwealth Stadium when renovations are completed next semester. Nike, UK’s main athleticapparel partner company, worked with the program See LOGO on page 4
Three returning players ready to lead Poythress, Ulis and Lee prepared to be focal points of UK By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
Three weeks ago, buzz was surrounding the seven UK basketball players that declared for the 2015 NBA Draft. Now, all the attention is focused on the three main pieces that decided to stay from last year’s group. But Tyler Ulis, Marcus Lee and Alex Poythress are ready to be the focal points of next year’s team. They’re ready to be leaders. “We have an entire new team with seven people leaving,” Ulis said. “But with the leadership of me, Marcus and Alex, I feel like we’ll be fine.” Ulis’ path to becoming the starting point guard of next year’s team began after the Cats’ Final Four loss to Wisconsin. Head coach John Calipari texted the 5-foot-9 player, “I’m going to build a team. Get your guys and let’s do this again,” referring to how close UK was to winning the na-
tional championship. That was all Ulis needed to hear to make his decision to stay. “He told me he wanted to coach me again and make another run at it. I was all down for it,” Ulis said. “I feel like he wants me to lead the team, especially as a point guard. I have to step up and do a lot more than I did last year.” But that new sense of leadership doesn’t come without some adjustment. Lee said that after a week had passed since Willie Cauley-Stein, Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew and Aaron Harrison, Trey Lyles, Devin Booker and Dakari Johnson had made their announcement to turn pro, it hit them that they were the only ones left. “We were walking around in the gym and were like, ‘Where’s the rest of us?’” Lee said. “We slowly started talking about things we needed to do when we realized we were all we had.” But pretty soon, that practice gym will be filled with

new faces as the more recruits commit to UK in the coming days. The Cats are bringing in the No. 1 overall recruit in Skal Labissiere and the No. 1 point guard of the 2015 class, Isaiah Briscoe. UK got another commitment on Tuesday when JUCO transfer Mychal Mulder announced he would be joining the team next year, giving the Cats a knockdown three-point shooter. The All-American from Vincennes University averaged 15.7 points and hit 46 percent from beyond the arc last season.
But if there’s anything the three newly appointed leaders can teach the incoming players about playing for a buzzworthy program, it’s how to handle the outside pressure that comes with suiting up for the blue and white. “The pressure is going to be the same every year. The new guys will have to learn that,” Poythress said. “Tyler, Marcus and I will be there to help them along the way. It’s just hard. But I feel like we have a great group of guys coming in and they’ll be able to handle it.”

Barrett evolves into star player MLK Center honors former home
Outfielder reworks his swing thanks to ex-MLB assistant By Derek Terry sports@kykernel.com
UK outfielder Kyle Barrett’s reemergence as an SEC star started long before he stepped on the field for the first time his junior season. After earning All-SEC Freshman honors in 2013, Barrett took a step back last year. The native of Douglasville, Ga., saw his batting average drop from a teamleading .351 during his first year to a pedestrian .253 in 2014. Then-freshman Storm Wilson eventually replaced him in right field. To go from being a star to barely playing was a tough challenge for Barrett. “It wasn’t fun,” Barrett said. “Having to sit and watch was tough, and it was really difficult because I knew there was nothing I could do.” Barrett’s struggles didn’t last long, however. He was able to put together an impressive summer season in the Cape Cod League, hitting .313 through 37 games. The stellar play earned him a spot as the starting center fielder in Cape Cod League All-Star game. Barrett returned to UK in the fall hoping his hot streak would continue into the collegiate season. Doubts flooded his mind, however, as UK
hired long-time MLB assistant Rick Eckstein on Aug. 25 to be its new hitting coach. Eckstein served as an assistant for a few MLB teams, such as the Los Angeles Angels and the Washington Nationals, before taking the job at UK. Despite Eckstein’s track record of success at the highest level, Barrett was hesitant to change what had been working for him over the summer. “The first few weeks he was telling me things, and I wouldn’t say I was disrespectful, but I was a little nervous to listen,” Barrett said. “I had a good freshman year, and then my sophomore year the coach came in and changed it and I failed. So I went back to my freshman year swing in Cape Cod, and it worked. So I came back for my junior fall and didn’t want to change it again.” But it didn’t take long for Barrett to figure out that Eckstein could help him reach his full potential as a baseball player. “He started to trust me early on,” Eckstein said. “He got to the point where the things we were talking about and working on started to probably make sense to him. Then he started to trust me and buy into it. When Kyle and I started to work, the things I was saying were for-

eign to him. He just started listening to me and putting it together.” Barrett leads the team in hits this year with 65 out of the leadoff spot. He’s once again put himself in position to get drafted and earn AllSEC honors. He believes most of his successful turn-
around can be contributed to Eckstein. “(Eckstein) really having faith in me and keep telling me how much he trusted me has done a lot for me,” Barrett said. “With just working on my swing and everything, he deserves most of the credit.”
With the moving of the Martin Luther King Center from the Student Center to its temporary home in Blazer Hall, students are honoring the time spent at the Student Center throughout the week. The MLK Center hosted a Dead Week Celebration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April 27-29 in honor of their time in the current Student Center. Students could come by and write their favorite memories or sign the reflection board hanging in the MLK Center with an ice cream party at the end of the week. The celebration was organized by senior Jamarl Bryant, an intern at the MLK Center. “It started out when we were trying to think of ways to promote the move and I was like, ‘we could tie in the memory of the King Center,’” said Bryant while talking with his supervisor. “We could encapsulate the memory of the King Center forever, and that’s where we came up with the idea of the reflections board.” This week’s celebration has been emotional for students who have spent time in the King Center. “The King Center opened up since 1989, and ever since it has been a trailblazer for diversity,” Bryant said. “I’ve been here since
my freshman year and the King Center has been a place that I’ve felt like I’ve grown.” Many students have written their memories on the reflection board and enjoyed their final days in the soonto-be former MLK Center. For decades, the MLK Center has been a way for minority students to come and enjoy themselves on campus. The Dead Week Celebration has seen many students of all years come in and pay their respects to where they spent so much time in their stay at UK. While this is a temporary move, the thought of leaving the Student Center has been difficult on some students. ”It’s just an adjustment, it’s what we have to do to plan for the future,” Bryant said. The MLK Center will be in Blazer Hall while the new Student Center is being built. During the Dead Week Celebration, students can view the plans for the new design of the MLK Center in the new Student Center. “I think moving forward in a bigger space and it being the center of the Student Center, a lot more people will be able to come in and be involved,” said senior Jazmene Landing. The Dead Week Celebration has given a chance to the participants of the MLK Center to welcome a new beginning.

Media neglects feminism unless men spark dialogue ANNE HALLIWELL Kernel Columnist
Last night, “Avengers” actor Mark Ruffalo made headlines when he tweeted about the depressing lack of Black Widow merchandise for the upcoming “Age of Ultron” movie. “@Marvel we need more #BlackWidow merchandise for my daughters and nieces,” Ruffalo tweeted. “Pretty please.” This is not a new issue. Feminists in the entertainment and news industries have started pointing out the dearth of female representation with Marvel’s merchandise every time the studios put out a new movie in the last few years. However, Ruffalo made headlines and continues to merit news articles by major publications for his apparently ground-breaking support
of the female moviegoer’s agenda. The feminist movement needs male members, obviously. We need all of the help we can get. But it is also counter-productive when male celebrities like Ruffalo, as well as several of the men who contributed to the “He for She” campaign earlier this year, are the only ones who can convince the general public to listen to what we’ve been saying. When a woman calls attention to a feminist issue, she’s rarely given accolades for it. When a male — especially a famous one — deigns to advocate gender equality, he receives all the props for it. For the last time — gender equality is not just for women. Gender equality benefits everyone. Ruffalo’s tweet is important and helpful. If one person saw it and began to care more about female representation in geek culture, it was certainly worth it.
But the issue it concerns was not ground-breaking. It wasn’t revolutionary. It’s not new.
“
It is counter-productive when male celebrities ... are the only ones who can convince the general public to listen. “ And for the news cycle to act as though it is something new diminishes the work of feminist writers, outlets and celebrities who have spent years trying to change the way movie studios fail women.

‘Ex Machina’ one of year’s best KYLE ARENSDORF Kernel Columnist
The development of full artificial intelligence — machines that have complete autonomy of their thoughts and emotions — is the holy grail of the science world. Its discovery could put an end to human error, car crashes and perhaps even death. But it could also put an end to us. As theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking said, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” So there’s that. Yet AI continues to be the piece de resistance of the scientific sphere, as the world’s leading minds fight for the right to call it their career’s crowning achievement. But why strive so hard to develop something that has the propensity to destroy us all? It’s a question “Ex Machina” attempts to an-
swer, while also using it as a launching point to explore interesting dualities such as confinement vs. liberation, capitulation vs. subversion and of course, man vs. machine. In the film, coding prodigy Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) finds out he’s been selected for an opportunity to work with a reclusive tech magnate and personal hero of his, Nathan (Oscar Isaac). He doesn’t know what it’s for, but he jumps at the opportunity to work with his idol and is soon flying over the vast to meet him. We find out that Nathan is confident he’s developed the world’s first AI and needs someone to test its effectiveness. To be considered full artificial intelligence, the machine must pass the “Turing Test,” which entails one test subject posing questions to the machine. If the subject can’t tell that he or she is communicating with a robot, it passes. When Caleb meets Ava (Nathan’s AI), her only human features are her face and the shape of her body. Some of her parts are metallic while

other parts show through to her fiber optic center. “Ex Machina,” which translates to “god from the machine” in Latin, is a sleek, tone-as-character film that weaves methodically between chaos and serenity, paced by an ominous, drumming score that closely resembles that of a heartbeat. We never quite know for whom we’re supposed to root, and by the end of the film we’re still not sure that there was any antagonist in the film. We’re not even certain that Ava passed the Turing Test. But that little bit of mystery and room for debate is what makes a film great. One plot hole, however, is the fact that every plot point director Alex Garland used to drive the film could have been prevented by the use of a fingerprint or retina reading security system rather than a key card system. But I’m willing to look past the oversight and recognize this film as one of the year’s best. Kyle Arensdorf is the opinions editor of the Kentucky Kernel. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

over the last year remodeling the 18-year-old logo into a fresh, slicker version. But Schlafer is hesitant to calling the new logo a “change.” Instead, he prefers to say that it has evolved. “It’s not a dramatic change,” Schlafer said. “We wanted to find a way to highlight the ‘K’ while continuing to communicate the ‘We are UK’ message. It’s more of an evolution than a change.”

Diversity and Inclusion and director of Finance — which were approved by an SGA vote just minutes after he and Hollinden were sworn into office. “We believe that we have awesome people in those roles that will do great jobs,” Mullen said. Mullen said that for the past few weeks he and now former president Jake Ingram have been going around meeting with board of trustees members and university officials like President Eli Capilouto to acclimate him to his new role in the university. “The day after the election
The changes include removing a triangle mark between the “U” and the “K,” bringing the two letters closer together. The base of the “K” was also slightly changed to make it stand out more prominently than before. As far as the logo appearing on future university apparel, Schlafer said the sports that begin their seasons in the spring of 2016 will feature the new design on their respective jerseys, as will the fan merchandise of said sports. By the fall of 2016, all UK student-athletes will be
given apparel that display the updated logo, and the retail products will soon follow. It is currently unknown if the new logo will be displayed in the court of Rupp Arena anytime soon. Schlafer said that the new design serves a purpose in previewing what is to come for the university while also highlighting the storied past. “Our goal was to update,” Schlafer said. “It helps us keep up with and represent the future, but also represents our very strong recent past.”
he called me and scheduled weekly meetings up until this week and every week we’d have a different topic, ranging from board of trustees to university administrators, just SGA stuff and student related resources and offices,” Mullen said. “(Ingram) educated me on people I need to talk to in order to get various things accomplished.” Ingram wished the best for SGA and the man who will be replacing him. “This has been a blast,” said Ingram, who oversaw a student government that implemented the LiveSafe app accessible to UK students, faculty and staff. Ingram noted that he will miss his job as student body president but pointed out the
position is a huge time commitment. He also praised the work of his administration. “I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of excited to be done because it is a lot of work,” Ingram said. “I’m very proud of all the work that we did this year. Our success is because of all of your all’s work. It’s the work that you guys put in this year that’s made us so successful.” Ingram said that he would soon be moving to Orlando, Fl to work as an engineer. “I’m so excited to get to go out into the world,” said Ingram, who noted that his administration had “almost without exception, improved or expanded almost every program in addition to the creation of new ones.”
