Josh Marsh’s athletic abilities led him to play more than 10 different sports throughout his childhood and high school career, all of which his brother said he succeeded at, except when he tried to follow John Marsh onto the strip. “You would never guess but I hated (fencing),” Josh Marsh said. “I got sparks knocked off me by little girls that have been fencing since they were three. I’d get my butt whooped.” The Marsh brothers’ dedication to cheering thereafter has
provided them with many opportunities to meet or see a few of UK’s celebrity fans, including Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Jr., Josh Hutcherson and John Schnatter of Papa John’s Pizza. They narrowly missed their favorite UK fan, Aubrey “Drake” Graham Drake, last year. Josh Marsh said what motivates him most is his brother, whose dedication and optimistic attitude inspired him to follow his dream. He is also motivated by the banners inside the Seaton Center, which remind him of the people
who led the charge before him. “I want to inspire people to see that just because you’re athletic, that doesn’t mean you have to do certain sports. A lot of people don’t give cheerleading enough credit, the athleticism that you have to have,” Josh Marsh said. “If you’re that person who is still on the fence like I was, go for it. It’s not going to be easy, especially if you’re at the upper level like Kentucky is. You’re going to have to put in the hard work, but never let anyone else tell you that you can’t do something.”
3 students changing the horse industry
Project predicts, helps prevent devastating injuries By Lexington Souers news@kykernel.com
Three UK students are in the business of prevention, and it could have a huge impact on the horse industry. Their project, named Race Assured, uses blood samples to forecast potentially devastating injuries, like broken bones, about six to eight weeks before they happen. When a horse’s skeletal system is under stress, certain markers in the blood begin to elevate. The test shows if these markers are elevated, giving owners enough time to prevent or lessen any damage. Julia Fabiani, Stefanie Pagano and Ben Martin created Race Assured — a business venture that would market this research from the Gluck Equine Research Institute.
The team now has a recommendation to the Rice Business Plan Competition at Rice University, where they will compete with about 40 of the top programs in the world for portions of $1.5 million in cash and prizes divided between teams. Even if a team does not take first place, they have the potential to grab the attention and support of more than 100 venture capitalists who judge the competition. “Rice is going to literally put us on the map,” Pagano said. Race Assured has garnered interest steadily through competitions and word of mouth — news of the project has reached as far as Dubai, where horse owners have already sent blood samples to the team for testing. “If they weren’t excited,
they’re getting excited,” Fabiani, an equine science senior, said about the horse industry. Dr. David Horohov, director of the Gluck Equine Research Center and chair of the Department of Veterinary Science, has been working on the project for 10 years. Fabiani works at Gluck. The team credits the university and the state for the support they have received and said the notoriety of an institute like Gluck Research Insitute has helped to make a name for Race Assured. “I don’t think this would’ve happened at any other school,” Martin said. Fabiani, Pagano and Kim Cecere, who graduated in December, participated in the Venture Capitalist Bootcamp last semester to better develop their business plan and to learn from

Lexington business leaders. “We’re just a couple of grad students and an undergrad,” said Pagano, a biomedical engineering graduate student. The boot camp is a 10week extracurricular program through the Von Allmen Center for Entrepreneurship. Of the 60 applicants, 12 were chosen for the boot camp, which involved
weekly workshops about skills like market validation, forming a business model and community investor panels. The team went on to win the Georgia Bowl, an entrepreneurship competition at Georgia Tech University. They beat out teams from Georgia Tech, University of Texas, University of Arkansas, University of Ten-
nessee, and University of Manitoba in Canada. With the win and upcoming competitions, the team has the momentum of the industry on their side. “The support system is there, and we’ve fallen in love with the idea,” Pagano said. “We can’t let the people that have brought us this far down.”

UK students inspire fourth graders to pursue college as part of living learning program By Mena Sapp news@kykernel.com
For Joe Wright Elementary in Jacksonville, Texas, it is never too early to encourage students to start thinking about the possibility of going to college. The school partnered with UK’s CI Connect Living Learning Program for another year to put on “Pen Paws,” a program focusing on college preparedness that allows fourth grade students to send their inquiries about college life and in turn receive feedback from the freshmen of the LLP community. LLP student Kasey Considine, an integrated strategic communication freshman, said she is most excited to hear all of the students’ questions about college and living in the residence halls with individuals who hold similar interests. “I love working with kids and this is a great way to get involved with people outside of the community,” Considine said.
Considine said that although worried that they might lose a letter in all of the commotion or have someone forget to write, the people in charge of the project will make sure everything is “organized” and flows smoothly. Alan DeSantis, director of the CI Connect LLP, said he believes there are endless benefits from implementing the program into the curriculum, as it builds a bridge for the elementary students who may not have had access to learning about higher education. The college LLP students would also be impacted because the opportunity could give them a chance to learn more about another state and possibly bring them closer together as a community. “It is something good we can do to nurture young kids and teach them to write,” DeSantis said. “As college students, there is a tendency to become ego-centric, but doing something like this makes us
better humans.” Communications Director Catherine Hayden, to whom the fourth grade teacher reached out to reboot the program for a second time, said this activity produces interaction between students of varying demographic backgrounds and provides inspiration for those located in economically disadvantaged areas about attending college after high school. “Kentucky students can create a path of success for these young individuals,” Hayden said. “I would love to see it continue and built into the curriculum.” The reboot will hopefully inspire another group of children, though far away, to seek the prospect of higher education. “I mean, what if this changes the path for a student who didn’t want to go to college?” Hayden said. “What if one of them came to UK eight years down the road because of a letter they received in the fourth grade?”

Concert unites a cappella voices By McKenna Horsley news@kykernel.com
Memorial Hall was filled with high notes and chords Saturday as a cappella performers from across the South took to the stage, sharing and educating one another about the importance of music. Voices in Harmony is an a cappella group showcase “dedicated to bringing in the very best professional a cappella groups,” according to its website. The event began six years ago in Lexington Catholic High School, but grew too large for the school to sustain. A cappella groups from 15 high schools and three colleges, including UK’s Paws and Listen and acoUstiKats, were in
attendance. UK Choir students and a cappella professionals from ARORA and Dakaboom led classes and workshops for the program. All groups performed for each other during the event. A Cappella Education Association and UK Choirs sponsored this year’s event. The lessons led up to a concert featuring acoUstiKats and Paws and Listen, as well as ARORA, Dakaboom and Forte, a high school group from Centerville, Ohio. Both of UK’s a cappella groups performed their sets for the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella next week. “I think it’s so important to have the music and arts schools,” said Annie DeVries, a
music education freshman and member of Paws and Listen. “A lot of the time people think it’s the lame thing to do, but really it is the best thing to do.” Jon Lannertone, an arts administration junior and a member of acoUstiKats, said events like Voices in Harmony are important for aspiring a cappella performers. “There are a lot of high school kids here that will go to college,” Lannertone said. “If they see the acoUstiKats come out and we have a fun time … they are going to love what we did and want to be a part of it.” Voices in Harmony’s show producers John DeFerraro, Ben Spalding and Nick Johnson are all current a cappella teachers and alumni of acoUstiKats.
“More than anything else, we hope that this created a supportive environment for everyone to share and learn because some of these schools are 200 miles from the nearest group,” DeFerraro said. “Choirs are everywhere, bands are everywhere, but a cappella groups aren’t super widespread.” The Athertones from Louisville’s Atherton High School sang renditions of “Blackbird,” “The Best Day of My Life” and “Under Pressure” during an informal performance. Kenny Kendrick, a freshman in the Athertones, said this performance was the first time all group members used a microphone on “Under Pressure,” and they were a little cautious.

Campus library holds state’s oldest artifacts By Abigail Eaton features@kykernel.com
Situated on Maxwell Place, a nondescript brick building holds secrets of Kentucky and the world’s history. Housed in the Margaret I. King Library, Special Collections is home to a variety of resources and artifacts dating back hundreds of years. The oldest artifact is a cuneiform tablet detailing a recipe for beer, but the library also has a leaf from the Gutenberg bible and some of the earliest photographs taken in Kentucky. “What we are here primarily to do is to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Kentucky,” Associate Dean Deirdre Scaggs said. The university archives document the history of UK, dating all the way back to its founding in 1865. There are also audiovisual archives which document Central and Eastern Kentucky. The largest collection is the Lexington Herald-Leader photo archives, which contain about a million photographs. Special Collections also includes the Wendell H. Ford Public Policy Research Center,
a bipartisan collection which documents Kentucky politicians and organizations that promote public policy, as well as the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History, which focuses on the collection and preservation of oral histories. Doug Boyd, director of the Louie B. Nunn Center, helped create the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer, which allows people to search for keywords in an oral history so that information can be easily accessed. The system has spread from UK to more than 200 other organizations. “No better resource (exists), I think, to understand history or the humanities than oral history,” Boyd said. The library holds thousands of interviews, and most of them can be found online through the Special Collections website. “We’ve got an interview with Martin Luther King Jr., with Jackie Kennedy, but we’ve also got hundreds of interviews with tobacco farmers, … coal miners, it’s not just the famous,” Boyd said. ßtudents have several different ways to use the Special Collections Research Center.
2 million+ 29 full-time employees photographs 20 student assistants
65,000 rare books
The program has been growing each year, and faculty encourage students to research for papers with the Special Collections online archive. An Education Archivist works with faculty to promote using the library for classes. Even with such a large variety of information, Special Collections continues to obtain more historical materials and relies entirely on community donations to build the collections. “We rely a lot on word of mouth, and people letting others know, and us trying to promote what we have through our events and lectures,” Scaggs said. A recent oral history outreach led to a donation of poems. Currently, Special Collections is preparing for the 2020 Anniversary of the suffrage movement. Students who are interested in visiting Special Collections can stop by any time, but if they have a specific material in mind, they can call ahead to make sure the artifact is at UK. Some are stored offsite in a temperature controlled limestone quarry. Lexington Souers contributed to this report.

“For myself and for other people, we get so caught up in what we have to do as a music student … (a cappella) is an outlet for us,” said ETHOS member Monique Cooper. “(Singing is) a source of emotional release.”

Walking into Commonwealth stadium on Oct. 4, 2014 was an electric experience for Demetrius Walker, UK’s first African-American drum major. The choral music education senior said the Oct. 4 game against South Carolina was his favorite memory in the Wildcat Marching Band. “Marching on the field as (a) drum major is an experience I will never forget,” Walker wrote in an email to the Kentucky Kernel. “You feel so many emotions. It’s really hard to explain — it’s electric.” Walker applied for the position of drum major, a process including an interview
and a live audition at UK’s spring game. Walker said the spring game was his favorite part of the process. “I’ve loved being a part of the (band) and all the opportunities it has given me,” Walker wrote. Walker joined the Wildcat Marching Band as a freshman, but he took some time off to focus on his career. After graduation, Walker plans to pursue a career in teaching as a high school choral director. His teachers at UK, especially Jeff Johnson and Lori Hetzel, inspired him to follow his love of music. “I love my major and the College of Education,” Walker wrote. “Leaving here in May, I feel very prepared because of the work that Dr. Hetzel has done with the
Choral Music Education program.” Walker said his time at UK has been an awesome but challenging experience. “I’m sad to see it end,” Walker wrote of his graduation in May. “UK has made me realize how blessed we all are to be at such an awesome and supporting school.”
For the month of February the Kernel will be telling the story of 29 notable African-American Alumni. These features are in conjunction with the UK Alumni Association project “They Came Before: The Legacy of African-American Pioneers and Trailblazers at the University of Kentucky.”

Big plans for Willnat
Editorials
Support Eli Capilouto
New journalism director can transform program
UK President needs help from students, parents
This semester, UK’s School of Journalism and Media welcomed its new director, Lars Willnat, who plans to grow the school through fundraising and unique classes. The Kentucky Kernel editorial board recently sat down with Willnat to discuss his plans for the new year. Willnat has a strong base of faculty to help him achieve his goals, but journalism is rapidly changing, which could pose some challenges. To help prepare students for jobs in the field, Willnat emphasized creating classes focused on new and emerging media, like virtual reality. “I think that it is crucially important we know how to write journalistically, but we need to focus on what’s coming, what’s out there,” Willnat said. Creating classes that give students the skills they need to be successful in journalism will likely be Willnat’s most important goal. UK journalism students get a solid foundational education, but they need multidisciplinary skills — like the ability to work with videos, graphics and websites. All-around higher expec-
UK President Eli Capilouto made headlines by calling Bevin’s budget cuts “draconian” to the House Postsecondary Education Budget Subcommittee on Thursday. His efforts standing up for the university are well-received, and we hope that he stands up for students in particular. Bevin’s proposed budget cuts the university’s general funds by 4.5 percent this fiscal year and 9 percent the next, followed by a new program for outcomes-based allocation of funds. The details of this program have yet to be completed. In his speech, Capilouto emphasized that this is Kentucky’s university, and the future of the university is up to the government. “I ask you on behalf of 30,000 students, 12,500 employees, and 40,000 patients to help us,” Capilouto said. “Help us to continue serving our Commonwealth. We are your university, we are your university for Kentucky.” Since the release of Bevin’s budget proposal, commentators around Kentucky have expressed disappointment with Bevin’s approach
tations should come with the focus on new media. The curriculum should build on the school’s solid journalistic foundation and add specialty classes that will set UK apart. All students should be required, for example, to have
Goals JAT equipment Classes committed to emerging media Boost portfolio requirements Fundraising Director should drop in on classes to better understand curriculum
a more extensive and wellrounded portfolio to graduate. Students should not graduate from UK with only a few published stories, but rather they
should have a solid writing resume, video clips, photography skills and design experience. An ideal minimum could be five published or broadcasted clips per semester. To really know what the program entails, Willnat could drop in on courses throughout the semester. While he will find that students are learning the basics well, he will also see areas where they could be learning more. Journalism students and faculty do well with the equipment they have, but Willnat hopes to improve the program’s hardware by boosting fundraising efforts. Students can be confident that Willnat is able to bring about the changes the college needs because he seems excited to make the program stand out. His plans are commendable — plans to create a better website, to motivate graduates to donate, and to develop new classes that will make UK graduates ready for a rapidly changing field. A more handson approach across the school will help the journalism program thrive. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

to higher education. While the threats to UK are not life-threatening, cutting higher education means risking our state’s ability to be a leader in research and the humanities. Moreover, the budget cuts make it easier to justify raising tuition again, but Capilouto should reject this idea. While state appropriations have fallen by $57 million since 2007, tuition from revenue has risen by $178 million in the same time period. Even if state appropriations continue to fall, this does not justify the quickly tighten-
ing squeeze on students. So, if Capilouto fails to raise state appropriations for the university, students should not be the ones footing the bill. Nevertheless, as Capilouto said, “The simple truth is this – we don’t make Kentucky better tomorrow by reducing investments in education.” In an email to campus, Capilouto asked students to contact legislators in opposition to the proposed cuts. Students can find their legislator online at lrc.ky.gov or by calling 800-372-7181. Email opinions@ kykernel.com
Create adult wardrobe without breaking the bank ASPEN GAGE Assistant Features Editor
College is a time of change; interests are found, hairstyles evolve and lives are rebranded. So why should wardrobes stay the same? They shouldn’t. Bean boots and a Patagonia may be typical now, but as the adult world creeps closer, lazy-day fits become tres passé. So, how does the transi-
tioning process begin without dipping into college funds? Know the brands: Stores like Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe have adorable clothes and decent prices, but almost everything in these stores is made of a cheap fabric that will come apart in traditional washing machines. Most of these stores’ clothing needs extra attention and care, which is difficult for college students with little time. Look at stores like Gap and Old Navy for clothing that is made to last. Also, large chains like Macy’s and JCPenney have huge selections, which is key
when looking for timeless pieces for a wardrobe. Think ahead: Everyone knows they will eventually hold a professional job, go to a bank for a loan or attend a dinner party at an in-law’s house. Occasions like these require nice clothing with tasteful cuts and decent material. In college, it is easy to feel like there are only two necessary outfits – for class and for weekend nights. Ditch this mentality and buy a nice dress or a good pair of shoes — even if they’re not worn immediately, they will be put to use.
Now accepting applications for Fall 2016.
Buy wardrobe essentials: Every closet needs a certain item that can complete an outfit or be paired with anything. Both women and men need to own a good pair of jeans, a white buttondown shirt and a blazer. All three items are interchangeable, classic and weather-conscious. There are many other essentials, and each essential wardrobe purchase saves money in the long haul. A good pair of jeans can go a long way with proper care. Take good care of good clothes: There is a gentle cycle for a reason. Not all clothing
should be washed together. Still, shelling out $1.25 for each wash cycle influences how many machines students are willing to use, but certain clothes should not ever come in contact with each other. Wash jeans in one load, and delicates in another. Don’t mix darks and lights, and turn sweaters inside out so they don’t furl or bead. If it is lacy or thin, hand-washing is the best option. And read the care label. Sales, sales, sales: This seems to be the most obvious solution to save cash on clothes, but it happens to be the most
overlooked. Take advantage of semi-annual sales and specials; they may seem silly or not worth it, but utilizing discounts will save money in the end. Even if something says 15 percent off, it can turn into 30 percent with the right coupons. Becoming an adult is hard enough. Utilize these skills to check one more item off the list of real world problems. Aspen Gage is the assistant features editor of the Kentucky Kernel. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

Ulis joins player of year debate After Calipari ejected from South Carolina game, sophomore showed award-worthy leadership By Josh Ellis sports@kykernel.com
After UK head coach John Calipari picked up a technical foul and was ejected just two minutes and 26 seconds into Saturday’s game, one might think the Cats would lose composure and drop yet another conference road game. But the Cats had another coach that rallied the team. The team’s on-court coach, 5-foot-9 point guard
Tyler Ulis, brought life back to a Cats squad that seemed flustered by Calipari’s overzealous outrage at official Doug Sirmons. And, after a phenomenal 27-point, 12-assist and oneturnover performance, it is time to examine the obvious: Ulis should be heavily considered, maybe even favored, for National Player of the Year. On Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina, Ulis scored or assisted on 19 field goals.
The Gamecocks finished the game with 17 total field goals. What other player in college basketball has played a part in — scored or assisted — more field goals for his team than the opponent had total? The sophomore point guard is now averaging 16.7 ppg, 6.4 apg and 1.8 tpg. Since the blowout win against Missouri, Ulis has dished 44 assists and turned the ball over just seven times.
To compare other guards being considered for NPOY, Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield is averaging 25.7 ppg, 2.3 apg and 2.9 tpg. Maryland’s Melo Trimble averages 14.4 ppg, 5.3 apg and 2.5 tpg. And Providence’s Kris Dunn is averaging 17.0 ppg, 6.7 apg and 3.6 tpg. Whether it be huddling his team together after a foul, maneuvering his way through the teeth of the defense, or lobbing an alleyoop to Marcus Lee from half
UK Hoops wins Vandy rematch
Forward Alexis Jennings’ breakout game lifts Cats past Commodores By Josh Ellis sports@kykernel.com
Behind another impactful performance from sophomore Alexis Jennings, No. 18 UK Hoops (17-6, 6-6 SEC) cruised past Vanderbilt (15-10, 4-8) in Sunday’s rematch 71-55. Jennings was one rebound shy of earning her fifth doubledouble of the season, scoring 18 points and grabbing nine rebounds in Sunday’s matchup. The Cats got off to a hot start, jumping ahead 10-2 in the first six minutes of action. They interrupted in passing lanes, deflected balls and disrupted the Vanderbilt offense — an offense that committed 16 first-half turnovers, and 24 total. A few quick buckets from Vandy’s Christa Reed and Rayte’a Long got the Commodores right back in the game, cutting the UK lead to two after one quarter of play. But despite shooting just 38.2 percent and allowing Vanderbilt to shoot nealy 50 percent, UK ended the first half on a 12-2 run to take a 28-19 lead at the break. The Commodores’ seven second-quarter points tied for the fewest points allowed by UK in a quarter this season. The Cats also held Auburn to seven points in a quarter on Jan. 3. Jennings poured in 12 firsthalf points on 6-of-8 shooting, and senior Janee Thompson added two three-pointers.
court, Ulis makes his presence known. South Carolina head coach Frank Martin would seem to agree. “I don’t think I’ve ever coached against someone so slight in appearance but so strong, so durable and so competitive as Tyler Ulis,” Martin said. “He’s as good as I’ve had to prepare a team to play against.” The challenge of even preparing for Ulis makes coaches know he is one of
the best players in the nation. He is dangerous without scoring the basketball, and sometimes even without being on the floor. Calipari went to Twitter after Saturday’s win to express his gratitude for how his team handled itself in his absence. “I have never been more proud of a team,” Calipari said in a tweet. “They are now empowered. They’ve proven that they don’t need me and I love it.”
Gymnastics upsets Mizzou By Jack Pilgrim sports@kykernel.com
PHOTO BY JOEL REPOLEY I STAFF Sophomore forward Alexis Jennings was one rebound shy of earning her fifth double-double of the season. UK beat Vanderbilt 71-55 in Nashville.
Thompson ended the game with 15 points, and juniors Evelyn Akhator (10 points and six rebounds) and Makayla Epps (seven points, six assists and four rebounds) added production to boost the already explosive UK offense. Both offenses found their rhythm in the third quarter, as UK and Vanderbilt went backand-fourth until a Jennings floater beat the buzzer and gave the Cats a 14-point lead heading into the fourth. The Commodores had one final push to complete the season sweep over UK, but the Cats fended off any chance of a
Vanderbilt comeback, extending its lead to 15 early in the fourth quarter. Vanderbilt made only two of its final eight field goal attempts and had trouble all night long keeping UK out of the paint, getting outscored 40-24. UK, which led for all but two and a half minutes during Sunday’s contest, handed the Commodores their fifth straight loss, dropping them to 11th place in the SEC. The win is UK’s second in a row, but it keeps the Cats sitting at five and a half games back in 9th place. UK will end its tour of
four road games out of its last five contests on Thursday in Starkville, Mississippi, to face No. 11 Mississippi State (21-5, 8-4 SEC). The matchup will air live on the SEC Network and is slated for a 7 p.m. tipoff. After Thursday’s showdown, the Cats will wind down the season with home games against Arkansas and Missouri, and the team will conclude the regular season at No. 15 Texas A&M. The first round of the SEC Tournament kicks off in Jacksonville, Florida, on March 2 and ends on March 6.
Coming in as the underdog, ranked 25th in the country compared to Missouri at No. 15, the UK gymnastics team knew it had a tough battle waiting for them on Father-Daughter Night in Memorial Coliseum. For the first event of the night, UK dominated on the vault and no one scored less than 9.725. Katie Stuart led the team with a score of 9.825 to start things off. After the first event, the Cats led Missouri 48.925 to 48.800. Missouri, however, took over in the second event, with four of its gymnasts scoring over 9.80. Britney Ward carried her team, scoring a team high of 9.875. UK still competed well in this event, despite falling behind, with senior Marissa Beucler leading the team with a 9.875. The Cats edged past an impressive Missouri performance (48.8) and scored 48.9 to win the uneven bars event title. Halfway through the meet, Mizzou had edged the Wildcats 97.900 to 97.825. Though Missouri held a slim lead after two events, UK soon took over and never looked back. UK flourished on the balance beam, led by Cori Rechenmacher with a 9.875 and Sidney Dukes with
a 9.90. Mizzou slipped up a couple times, but Michaelee Turner finished with a 9.125 and Kennedi Harris finished with a 8.975. UK pulled away in this event, with four women finishing over 9.825 on the beam. UK finished off the Tigers in the final event, with Taylor Puryear leading the way with a 9.875 on floor. Mizzou’s Brooke Kelly fell off the beam twice, resulting in a score of 8.55. The Cats put the final nail in the coffin and won the last event 49.025 to 48.15. Individually, UK’s Stuart won the all-around with a total score of 39.875. All night long, she maintained an edge over the competition and she earned the individual victory. “It was really exciting,” Stuart said on her return to the all-around. “I was happy to get the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it. I loved getting to get back out on beam.” It was close for a while, but UK pushed out the victory with a final score of 196.050 to 194.675. Though Mizzou led the way after two events, UK dominated the latter half of the meet. The UK girls came into the meet as underdogs, but came out showcasing their abilities on national television.
