No more drop-offs before class on Rose Street By Paidin Dermody news@kykernel.com
Traffic on Rose Street near Columbia Avenue is being blocked for non-authorized vehicles in an effort to enhance pedestrian safety in the highly congested area. A UK police officer and parking attendants have been stationed at the intersection since Tuesday afternoon diverting traffic and directing drivers to alternate parking locations nearby. The decision to take immediate action was made after Parking and Transportation Services did a traffic study. An attendant spent an entire day in the area monitoring all through traffic and gathered information and numbers to constructively understand the cause of the majority of the traffic coming through. The study showed that most of the traffic outside of the Chemistry-Physics Building was from students either being picked up or dropped off on the street for their classes. The results also showed that many drivers in the area were lost or were trying to get to UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital or the Kentucky Clinic. Maps are being provided for alternate routes to these locations by the attendants stationed on Rose Street. UK spokeswoman Kathy Johnson said that because of the consistent flow of pedestrian traffic through the area, UK sees it as a major safety concern. “The goal is to try to change pedestrian safety,” she said. “Because of [the study], we are wanting now to limit traffic through to only UK authorized vehicles.” Authorized vehicles in-
clude delivery and official vehicles, accessible space parkers and people with reserved department permits, Johnson said. No time limit has been set for how long the street will be closed for non-authorized vehicles, but the UK Police Department and Parking and Transportation Services want to make this a permanent solution, Johnson said. The “pick-up, drop-off” is the main cause of the congestion on Rose Street. Students are being picked up from their classes in the surrounding buildings or dropped off to go to class. The constant stop-and-go has made the area a hazardous environment for pedestrians and also other vehicles. Bailey Watkins, a high school student with an internship in the Funkhouser Building, was stopped at the intersection of Rose Street and Columbia Avenue on Wednesday afternoon by a parking attendant and was unable to be dropped off in front of the building as usual. “My dad usually drops me off in front of the building, but it is really no problem for me just to walk,” Watkins said. Director of Strategic Analysis at UK Melody Flowers said that the attendants intend to be out on the street diverting traffic in the area for as long as it takes to correct the situation. She hopes their efforts “will make a difference.” “The students, faculty and staff are our top priority,” she said. “It became obvious that action needed to be taken. This is a good thing that the university is doing. It shows that we are out there monitoring and trying to make the area as safe as possible for our students, faculty and staff.”

Board of Trustees meeting turns contentious hree members of UK’s Board of Trustees spoke out in opposition of the university’s lawsuit against The Kentucky Kernel. President Eli Capilouto told the board the paper was not telling the victims’ stories and was printing “salicious” details to gain readership. The board did not make a motion to vote on the lawsuit.
By Marjorie Kirk news@kykernel.com
UK’s Board of Trustees meeting in Bowling Green turned contentious over discussion of the lawsuit between the university and the Kentucky Kernel, and the handling of sexual assault cases on campus. President Eli Capilouto told the board he supported UK’s choice to appeal the attorney general’s decision. He again cited FERPA, HIPPA and attorney client privilege as some of the reasons for not handing documents over to the Kernel or the attorney general. Following his speech, the board received copies of letters from two of the victims and the survivor support group on campus SPARC. One of these letters however was not perfectly redacted and revealed the name of one of the victims. A university spokesperson was notified and asked members of the audience to return their copies. The letters were read aloud by board chair Britt Brockman, and both victims expressed their support for the President, revealing that he took the time to meet with them personally to discuss their concerns with investigation and larger issues. “There are other issues at play here regarding university professors who are allowed to resign without future employers finding out about sexual misconduct, or tenure revocation taking the better part of
two years, in addition to the time it takes for multiple appeals,” one of the letters read. A letter from the other victim said that she was pleased with the job Title IX did in the investigation. She agreed with Capilouto that sensitive details of the crimes should be kept
sors,” she wrote. “Other universities should have access to this information in order to prevent those convicted of wrongdoing from repeating their behavior elsewhere.” After Brockman read the letters to the board, the floor opened for discussion.

Contrasting opinions discussed in a two-hour closed session of the board came to light in the afternoon congregation, during which David Hawpe, former editor-in-chief of the Courier Journal, said he was told by leadership and other members on the board that if
he brought the matter to a vote, President Eli Capilouto would resign. President Capilouto denied that he ever said he would resign if these matters were brought to a vote, and Hawpe said he would not specify who on the board told him the president’s resignation could be a consequence. Board Chair Britt Brockman said he spoke to Hawpe and gave him his opinion. “What I told David Hawpe is in my opinion if a vote regarding this matter came to the floor and if the vote showed a split board that I felt that the president, rather than making himself the focus of the conversation—knowing his ethics, knowing his mannerisms—that he would potentially step aside rather than have a divided board,” Brockman said. Faculty representative Lee Blonder, and executive committee member Mark Bryant joined Hawpe in his criticism of the university’s decision to sue the Kernel and its handling of cases of sexual misconduct. In his address to the board during open discussion, Hawpe cited a recent case of sexual assault that led a victim to sue the university because of the way they handled her sexual assault case. He read statements from Judge Hood who said UK had bungled the case and caused harm to the victim because of the way the university handled it.

Off campus safety job of university, students
UK student said he feels safe living off campus despite recent crime streak By Christie Netherton news@kykernel.com
In the midst of concern over student safety in off campus neighborhoods, UK Police Chief Joe Monroe explained that student neighborhood protection is a shared responsibility of the UK Police Department, the Lexington Police Department and students who can make responsible choices regarding their own safety. Off campus student neighborhoods, like those on Maxwell Street and Woodland Avenue have seen several serious crimes recently. UK student and Kentucky Kernel staff member, Jonathan Krueger, 22, was shot and killed April 2015. Douglas Jordan, 27, was shot and killed in June of this year. The most recent crime in this area was the robbery of two UK students walking home from Kroger the morning of Sept. 1. In the wake of these events, more are concerned about
whether criminals are taking advantage of students walking home at night in these areas, and what safety precautions the university takes to protect students who live off campus. Many students have described conditions in the neighborhood as being “sketchy,” and while they would not base the overall safety of the community on the few incidents, they still would prefer not to live there. UK student Matt Barber said that while he is aware that there are incidents of crime in the area, he still feels relatively safe living there and believes that the university is taking whatever safety precautions they can. He says that with SAFECATS escorts, as well as emergency alert buttons strategically placed around campus, the university is doing its job in campus safety and that the other half is students making responsible choices, such as not walking alone late at night.
Monroe said that the university also reports a crime bulletin for the university’s jurisdiction as well as alerts for crimes that may put students in immediate danger. However, Monroe said that the university police only have jurisdiction over university owned or occupied properties and specific areas of off campus neighborhoods. According to Monroe, UK is only responsible for the area near the north side of Maxwell Street from South Limestone to Rose Street. Outside of that, the Lexington Police Department would be responsible for responding to incidents since it is under their jurisdiction. The university also offers a variety of safe options for students to take advantage of when traveling at night. These options include SAFECATS, which allows students to request an escort on campus from 8:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Kentucky Wildcab, a Student Govern-
ment Association program that offers free rides for students around campus 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Thursdays through Sat-
urdays. There is also the on-demand night bus, which is an oncall shuttle that operates from midnight until 5 a.m. Mondays
through Fridays, and Sunday from 7 p.m. until midnight that students can call or text to get picked up.

Williams also expressed interest in delving into the EDM scene, naming Bassnectar and Pretty Lights on the short list of artists he’d like to work with. Aside from his various projects, Williams does his best to ensure each show is different from the last by looking at recent set lists along with those from past shows in cities he’s travelling to to configure a unique show with little to no overlap in material. Williams also occasionally reaches out to fans on social media for song requests. In the early 1990s when Williams’ career was just getting started he’d perform with no set list, but after a time noticed he’d fallen into a stagnant routine of only playing what he was most comfortable with. The more of
a following Williams garnered, the more he realized he needed to make a change. “Once people start coming to hear you, you can’t keep playing the same songs all the time,” Williams said. “Once I started going to see the Grateful Dead and Phish they were doing two unique sets night-to-night, I really latched on to that.

‘Badass broads’ bring burritos to Best Friend Bar By Marjorie Kirk
features@kykernel.com
Whether it arrives on bike or on a mini baking sheet at Best Friend Bar, locally sourced burritos have become the passion of two best friends and life partners, Beth Walker and Sarah “Swood” Wood, who opened up girlsgirlsirls Burritos four months ago. The local secret is easy to miss, tucked in at the end of the bar inside Best Friend Bar, but the smells of their fresh bites wafting out into the bar are unmistakable. The women are redefining bar eats and take out service by striving to locally source as much of their product as they can seasonally, boosting each meal’s nutritional value, setting a higher wage for their cooks and supporting the local cycling community in Lexington with their bike delivery system. Walker’s talent for serving up delicious comfort food came from feeding her band, Blind Corn Liquor Pickers, when they would travel on the road or she would host them at her house. “If we crave this other people are going to crave this,” Walker said. “We’re not Mexican cuisine. We don’t fit in— we have burritos, but that’s just the style that we’re doing.”
One of Walker’s dreams is to have a mobile unit at festivals with the band, and maybe even own a farm where they can grow produce for their shop. The local producers they

source from include the popular local food truck and restaurant Bradford BBQ, which provides them with all of their meat, and Barren County cow farmers Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese. Walker and Wood have been growing or cooking food for years, and even met most of their coworkers while working in Lexington restaurants like Stella’s Kentucky Deli and Al’s Bar. While it is a challenge, they think it is crucial that they pay their cooks adequately, compared to what their friends in the industry have been shortchanged in the past. “We feel grateful for getting to work in the food sys-
Burritos are cooked “dorado” style, meaning the tortilla is cooked to golden perfection on a stove after the burrito has been assembled. In addition to build your own options, the duo prepare specials such as this past weekend’s “Fried green tomato Gringo burrito,” which featured smoked chicken, bacon, chipotle ranch, fried green tomatoes, cotija cheese and spinach. Sauces, guacamole, the perfect pink slaw and pickled red onions are made fresh and in house. Fresh red and green salsa, lime crema, girls XXX chipotle sauce and queso can be added on.
The couple also tries to accommodate for the different diets their customers have, so they have vegan and vegetarian options. Anything they can fit into a burrito, they are more than happy to put on three corn tortillas for their gluten-free diners. One of the most popular burritos is their homage to the bar that took them in: the BFF. This burrito was designed to please what they see as the “frat boy’s” diet of chicken and queso. They throw in their tangy pickled red onions, some lime crema, light spinach, red salsa and quacamole to pack it with the parts of the food pyramid the women fear they neglect. Cracking into the golden shell releases the smoky and salty chicken with the sweet salsa and hearty spinach. The finish of tangy onions pairs perfectly with the savory queso and crema. Open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. these “badass broads,” as they’ve dubbed themselves, are serving up something new. “At the end of the day it’s something you do to nourish your body and nourish your soul and we love doing those things,” Walker said. “It’s about love of food.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Hawpe said that in its effort to protect victims of sexual misconduct from unwanted publicity, the university is not protecting individuals that could become victims. He compared sexual misconduct cases of university employees who have moved to other schools to the shuffling of child molesting priests that The Boston Globe uncovered. “Our version of protecting people leaves those individuals in the dark, much as parishioners were left in the dark when offending priests were moved to new locations and their pasts were not revealed to congregations” Hawpe said. “I might add that it was only media coverage which finally prompted reform of that vast scandal.”
Hawpe said the university’s position in suing the student paper was unwise and unfair. He said secrecy in these matters only produces doubt, and that the criticism the university has received nationally is valid. “Our decision to refuse to let the attorney general review materials in this case in camera is wrong,” Hawpe said. “I think the federal protections that are cited as a reason to take that position are wrong and will be found so eventually.” Hawpe also found issue with the remarks Capilouto gave to the board before discussion, namely in his dismissal of the attorney general’s office in his statement that, “We don’t ship (victims’) personal information off to a bunch of lawyers in Frankfort they have never met.” As a faculty representative on the board, Blonder said the
national attention this lawsuit has garnered has put professors at the university in a difficult position. She said she agreed with Hawpe that the university should not have kept the documents from the attorney general’s inspection. “I think that this has to become at some point after it plays out a teaching moment for all of us,” Blonder said. “This has been mishandled and I agree that we have multiple open records and open meetings cases pending so this is part of a larger picture that we need to examine.” Bryant was the last member of the board to question the university’s decision, and he agreed with Hawpe as well that secrecy instead of transparency in these matters would breed suspicion. “Our actions in this controversy give the impression that we have something to
hide,” Bryant said. “The more we withhold documents the more criticism and scrutiny we attract. What do we have to hide?” He said the university can and should redact the names and give the information to the public. He also said the professor in question has no right to privacy, and that the university is being painted as a backwater place instead of the prestigious school the board and Capilouto have worked to build. The board did not put the matter to a vote. The Kernel’s attorney Tom Miller appeared in Circuit Court today, where Judge Thomas Clark set the first hearing date for Sept. 16 at 1 p.m. The judge will hear the attorney general’s request to intervene at the hearing.not protecting individuals that could become victims.

New member period ROSIE ECKER Managing Editor
After sorority recruitment comes to a close, the girls who have been extended bids enter what is called “the new member period.” This is the time when each girl starts to learn more about the chapter they’ve decided to join. For some girls this can be a tricky time, as many are overwhelmed by the number of people who they still have yet to meet and get to know. It can also be a little awkward trying to meet new friends in your pledge class when there are so many that you can’t remember the names of. Now a senior in college, I look back and think about the new member period that I went through. Some girls I sat next to at our new member meetings have since dropped or transferred schools. But some of my best friends now were sitting across the room at those same meetings. If your pledge class was 80+, like mine was, you can’t be best friends with everybody. You have to filter through the ones that get your sense of humor, the party animals vs. the library goers, those who want to be involved in the sorority and the ones who just want to slip through. It took time for me to find my group of friends in my pledge class, but that is only because the pledge class itself was so large and it just took some time. If you are currently stressing out as a new member, it is best to give it patience. Pretty soon your sorority will need girls from your new pledge class to volunteer for philanthropy
events or various other sisterhood events for your chapter, and there will be plenty of time to settle in and make new friends. Volunteer yourself for these things to meet more people and to get to know them on a deeper level, not just small talk before or after meetings. New member educator, Lizzie Shepard from Alpha Omicron Pi is currently aiding and teaching 74 girls in the Fall 2016 pledge class. When asked what she stresses most for the new members, Shepard said. “I personally stress that academics are the most important thing for the new members, since they are at UK to get an education.” This is probably a huge relief for those girls who are worried about time management. Each house has a different minimum grade point average that a member most uphold to stay in the chapter. Finding other girls in your pledge class with the same major or minor can be beneficial for study time or further questions. If a new member came to Shepard for advice about not fitting into sorority life, Shepard said she would tell her to, “dive in head first. Attend as many events as you can and hang out with as many people as possible, because you won’t meet your best friend by staying in the dorm by yourself.” Don’t be afraid to ask what a girl’s name is because it will be even more uncomfortable when you still don’t know her name a year later. Give it time to meet your close friends, and have an outgoing and open-minded outlook to have the best new member period you possibly can. Email opinions@ kykernel.com.

Survey positive step foward
PHOTO BY TESSA LIGHTY I FILE PHOTO Pedestrians and cyclists have struggled to feel totally secure on campus because of the consistent string of accidents and hit and runs they or their peers experience.
The survey UK Parking and Transportation conducted to reduce traffic problems on Rose Street was indicative of the unhappiness employees and students feel about campus accessibility. When students wake up late for class they desire an effective place for their groggy and fed up roommate to drop them off. Employees looking for parking and commuters on university buses are tired of the congestion caused by the unloading of students before classes. And everyone else that walks or bikes is tired of dodging cars or playing “red light, green light” in the turning lane between the end of Rose Lane and Patterson Drive. The survey on Rose Street is a great start to addressing problems
in other congested areas of campus like along Avenue of Champions and South Limestone. Pedestrians and cyclists have struggled to feel totally secure on campus because of the consistent string of accidents and hit and runs they or their peers experience. But for its sheer size and outspoken commitment to improving student life with housing and facilities, UK has the opportunity to reform its campus into a diversely accessible one. Increasing modes of public transportation reduce carbon emissions, and with the population it has at its disposal, UK could potentially become a significant ecological benefit to the city of Lexington.
UK Parking and Transportation has enabled that with their partnership with Lextran and their bike voucher program, which is an agreement they made with students to trade in their parking passes for bicycle money. But to promote a bike accessible culture on campus means drivers and pedestrians need to hop on board as well by being aware of surrounding bikers on the streets, not boxing them in or running them off the road, and sharing the entire lane with them when there isn’t a designated bike lane. The university can take other initiatives as well, such as closing off part of Rose Street, which the university has been debating with Fayette County. They can add more marked crosswalks to Rose Street, Avenue of Champions and South Limestone. They can also increase the number of shared sidewalks in the middle of campus and on streets often cramped with parked cars. They can expand the Wildcat Wheels Bicycle Library to provide students with free access to better transportation, and increase the number of vehicle counters in campus parking lots so commuters don’t have to search campus for an open spot. A commitment to efficiency in campus transportation improves commute, increases safety and reduces the ecological effects of carbon emissions in one of Lexington’s biggest communities.

CRC fights recovery stigma By McKenna Horsley news@kykernel.com
Students who are dealing with similar problems can meet each other in a new program created for victims of addiction. The Collegiate Recovery Community was created to give students who are dealing with substance use disorders a healthy and supportive collegiate experience to remove the stigma surrounding recovery, according to its website. The CRC has become active with students this fall, but has been in the making for a couple of years, Prevention Coordinator Kelsey Hinken said. The program offers services like a 12-step weekly
recovery group that meets at 8 p.m. on Thursdays in room 214 of Whitehall. Hinken said CRC also held a sober tailgate at the first football game and will continue to have those and other social events. UK’s CRC is not the first program of its kind in the country, Hinken said. CRCs began almost 30 years ago. She and others creating UK’s program visited Texas Technical University, Vanderbilt University and Ohio State University to get ideas. “One piece I kind of took away from those conversations was that every CRC develops different, depending on the needs of the students… It’s very much a grassroots effort,” Hinken said. “It has to be what students at UK feel like they
need.” Hinken said UK’s is the first in Kentucky and she hopes UK becomes a model for other schools. Eastern Kentucky University has already reached out to UK about CRC, she said. First-year cultural anthropology graduate student Tyler Allen said the CRC helped him get through his own addiction. During Allen’s time as an undergraduate, he faced alcoholism. “It was a very lonely time, a very lonely time, surrounded by people. It felt like everything related to college had to be a party,” Allen said. Allen went to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings but felt out of place. Many in the group were not college students and
could not relate to Allen. A friend of his then recommended CRC because it had others who were dealing with similar situations like Allen. Now Allen works with UK’s CRC and he said he could see himself in others in the group. “I think this is most likely most people’s first experience with recovery … So it is really important to get the language right and the tone right and realize that it is a happy thing,” Allen said. “It’s a way to get better.” In fall 2017, Hinken said CRC is going to have a Living Learning Program. She said the program will have room for 25 students. So far, over 100 students have expressed interest in it.

UK Football reaches new low in blowout loss to Florida

If anyone thought that UK Football had reached its lowest point of the young season in last week’s collapse against Southern Miss., they were quickly reminded of UK’s astounding ability to go from bad to worse in the 45-7 beat down they received at the hands of the Florida Gators. The Cats have 10 more games left in the season, giving them more than enough opportunities to keep digging past rock bottom, including a trip to Tuscaloosa in three
weeks to face No. 1 Alabama. There is then a trip to Louisville the last week of the season to face the Cardinals who have the closest thing to an unstoppable offense with the combo of quarterback Lamar Jackson and head coach Bobby Petrino at the helm. At this point, any drop of hope has dried up and the narrative surrounding UK in head coach Mark Stoops’ fourth season is as sad and disheartening as when he took over following the 2012 season. That 2012 season contained, by most accounts, one of the lowest points in recent UK football history in the
40-0 home loss to Vanderbilt en route to going 2-10 on the season. While the loss was in no way justified, at least fans could rest easy on the explanation of just an overwhelming talent gap. The same talent gap became more present in Stoops first season as the Cats would once again go 2-10. But the revamped recruiting efforts Stoops and his staff have made in the time since were supposed to fill that gap. What can be looked at as the most disappointing aspect to UK’s 0-2 start this season is the fact that the team has still found a way to regress even
with the amount of talent on the team. The defense was thin heading into the season but still boasted a secondary that was heralded as one of the top units in the SEC. The same group allowed Florida’s first-year starter at quarterback Luke Del Rio to throw a casual 320 passing yards and four touchdowns while he had his choice of open receivers in most cases. It was actually on the ground though where the Gators found their bread and butter as they run the ball virtually at will, and it showed as they went 14-for-20 on third
downs with most being short yardage situations. The defense couldn’t keep Florida’s offense off the field, which was ironic because UK’s offense excelled at putting it there. UK’s first offensive play ended with quarterback Drew Barker being violently sacked and it didn’t improve much after that. From then on, the shellshocked Barker completed more passes to the Florida defense (three interceptions) than he did to his own team (2for-10 passing on the day). UK’s most productive player in the game was run-
ning back Stanley “Boom” Williams who rushed for 66 yards on 12 attempts. But apparently giving him more snaps was not in the cards for UK and it didn’t matter much when considering the lack of consistency from the offensive line. Obviously expecting to snap, the 29-year losing streak to Florida in Gainesville, was completely unfair, but the team still owed fans more than the effort they gave in the blowout. Now it seems the only fun left in the season for the fans will be trying to guess how the Cats can disappoint next.
Cats take 2 of 3 in Bluegrass Battle By Allie Hennard sports@kykernel.com
UK Volleyball hosted the Bluegrass Battle this weekend for their third tournament of the year, and it brought some excellent competition to Lexington. Still early in the year, the Cats played a bit inconsistent during the beginning of the tournament with a loss to Marquette but quickly bounced back with wins over Virginia Saturday morning and then Saint Louis later that evening. UK struggled in the match against Marquette to find any sort of rhythm and in the process started their weekend in the Bluegrass Battle with a loss. The second match of the weekend was a big improvement, where the Cats swept Virginia with a 3-0 (25-12, 2518, 25-18) set match. Offensively, the Cats finished with 35 team kills and
a .276 attack percentage led by Junior Kaz Brown with a hitting percentage of .636 and eight kills in the win. Brown also had a season high 10 block assists. In the final match of the weekend against Saint Louis, the score was tight entering the first set. The Cats rallied for a 5-point lead making the score 14-7. Saint Louis rallied back to tie the score 20-20 but couldn’t hold on as the Cats swept up the last five points winning 25-21. The Cats took the second set with a final score 25-13 due to excellent blocking and clutch defense early on. The team finished the second set with a total 5.5 blocks lead by Emily Franklin and Brown. The third and final set of the match ended with a final 25-19. The third set win was partially attributed to the kills by Freshman standout Leah Edmond with 5 kills. Franklin
and Darian Mack added four kills each. Brown also had a great night in attacks with six kills in 10 swings and zero errors. Edmond also finished the weekend with her second double-double with 11 kills and 10 digs. Slight adjustments improved the cats attack percentage to .333 for the match. Edmond led in kills, but says she still has changes to make. “Getting my feet to the ball, that is my big thing so I can take a big swing so I can get a kill, so that’s what I’ve been working on for the past couple weeks,” Edmond said. With the pair of wins and the loss this weekend, the Cats’ record is now 5-4. “To be a great team you have to have good blocking, so hopefully we’re on our way,” Skinner said. “One of the things we need to do better on is being able to play good
every hour. every day. www.kykernel.com
defense and a faster offense, and I mean that’s everyone’s challenge.” Sophomore Olivia Dailey returned to the line-up after being out in the game against Marquette due to a minor injury. Dailey led the Cats with 33 assists in the game against Saint Louis and is a key to execute their offense. Head coach Craig Skinner is pleased with the team’s defense but has intent to improve offensively. “Getting more than 14 kills a set is ideal if you want to compete at the highest level, so rhythm offensively is something we need and if (Dailey) is ready to go every day in practice then it helps us be able to sustain that,” Skinner said.
