PLAYING IT SAFE

PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFStudents use SAFECATS as an escort outside of the Chem/Phys building on Monday night. Requests for SAFECATS escorts hasincreased as a result of the recent robberies.

A new fraternity with a mission to culti-vate leadership is coming to UK.

This year, Beta will be welcomed as thenewest fraternity to join the University ofKentucky. With a history of integrity andprestige, Beta hopes to extend their successat UK.

According its website, Beta's mission is"to become the exemplary standard for allcollegiate fraternal societies." With deeproots in service and leadership, the fraterni-ty has values it takes seriously. The fraterni-ty values mutual assistance, intellectualgrowth, trust, responsible conduct and in-tegrity, a press release said.

The modern "Men of Principle" leader-ship initiative ensures all members actuallyfollow the parameters set up by the fraterni-ty, the release said. A standard of accounta-bility is present among Beta's members,who are challenged to be responsible lead-ers at their respective schools.

This tradition of leadership has lastedfor decades, starting with the founding ofBeta Theta Pi in 1839 at Miami University.Since then, the fraternity has spread allaround, with 122 chapters across the UnitedStates and Canada, including four in Ken-tucky, the release said.

Beta Director of Expansion AllenHardin believes that the word fraternity toooften has a negative implication. He saidwhen Beta looked at how fraternities actednowadays, the organization didn’t like whatit saw.

"We wanted to challenge the fraternitystereotype," Hardin said. "We wanted tocall out alcoholism. We wanted to call outdrug use. We wanted to call out hazing."

Hardin said the fraternity seeks UK’stop students. Having over a 2.9 GPA ismandatory for prospective members, buthigher is preferred, Hardin said.

Students interested in joining can con-tact Allen Hardin at allen.hardin@beta-thetapi.org or 513-255-1090, or stop by theBeta table outside White Hall. This infor-mation table will be up from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.every weekday until October 15.

New fratlooks to grow

leadership

It’s no secret that armed rob-beries have become somewhatprominent as of late. With fiverobberies reported in the pasttwo weeks, UK students are be-coming more careful in regardsto their campus traveling. Oneform of assistance many havebeen making use of is SAFE-CATS.

SAFECATS, which stands for‘Safe And Free Escort for Cam-pus Area Traveling Students,’ hashad to step up its game in recentweeks.

The Flying Wildcats BoosterClub runs the program. All 140Air Force Cadets in ROTC makeup the club. The program alsohelps to raise money for thebooster club

“SAFECATS is a way for uscadets to help out and provide asafe service for students to gethome,” Cadet Matthew Shieh said.

The program operates from

8:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., Sundaythrough Thursday. Normally,there is one person on dispatchwho answers phones, and two es-corts who move around campuswalking people home from vari-ous buildings.

“A lot of times we get three tofour calls a night,” Cadet AndrewEnnsor said. “Last night [Septem-ber 22] we had 22 calls.”

Students do not feel as safeas once before. Consequently,Safe Cats has increased its per-sonnel.

“We’ve got six escorts work-ing tonight,” Shieh said.

Shieh said they are also work-ing on getting a second golf cart.SAFECATS currently has onegolf cart in use.

“We’ve recently been adver-tised as a bus service, which is in-correct” Shieh said. “We don’thave a bus, we have a golf cart.”

Members of the Flying Wild-cats Booster Club normally workonce or twice a month. That

number will likely go up, howev-er, as the demand continues to in-crease.

“I’ve never seen it this busybefore,” Ennsor said.

In the coming weeks, SAFE-CATS will continue to increasepersonnel in accordance with de-mand. The program can bereached at 257-SAFE.

The campaign is a joint collabora-tion by UK HealthCare, the UK College ofAgriculture, the UK College of PublicHealth and 40 community, equine and med-ical organizations to aid in the prevention ofhorseback riding injuries.

Fingerpainting helps UK fight violence

UK’s Violence Interventionand Prevention Center is usingart to tackle the issue of vio-lence.

The VIP Center will hostmess-free finger painting onWednesday, Sept. 29.

Touch drawing consists of aPlexiglas board, ink and no mess.

Becky Hill, an advocate forVIP, said touch painting can helpaddress the sensitive issue of vio-

lence. “Touch drawing is a way for

people to connect with the issue,in a less intimidating, more com-fortable way,” Hill said.

The workshop will start with alittle music and a few prompts,then the creativity will flow.

“It’s not about pretty art, but achance to get whatever is goingon in your body out on to paper,”Hill said.

“Touch drawing is a way forpeople to go on their own journey

through free art.”VIP center’s mission is to

eliminate “power based personalviolence” and to help withcounseling for violence victims.The center hosts several work-shops and training sessionsthroughout the year, includingWednesday’s event, TouchDrawing.

The VIP Center has spread itsGreen Dot Program across 26states. Becky Hill, advocate andsocial worker for VIP, describes

the center as “Innovative, usingart as a way to support people.”

The VIP Center has severalprograms this semester, includ-ing a clothesline project, photojournal workshop, and “WreckThis Journal.”

“Each activity is meant to letpeople be themselves and releasethrough art and creativity,” Hillsaid.

“Anyone can be a part; youdon’t have to be an art major tobe good at Touch Drawing.” See SADDLE on pa ge 2

Margaret Cho, who broke ground with ashort-lived show about an Asian-Americanfamily, has found her way back to the medi-um that wasn't ready to embrace her 16 yearsago.

Appearing now on Lifetime's "DropDead Diva" and ABC's "Dancing with theStars," the 41-year-old actress whose stand-up comedy about her Korean family led to1994's "All-American Girl" has returned toprime-time TV with the same tongue-in-cheek hilarity that has kept her in the spot-light for nearly 20 years.

Cho is also back on the road with her"Cho Dependent Tour." She is as serious asshe is comical, famous for addressing thepressure she felt in 1994 to adjust her weightand her Asian-ness to be more palatable fornetwork executives and audiences.

As a longtime advocate for social justice,her comedy forcefully confronts homopho-bia, racism and other discrimination withwitty, blunt derision. She also talks franklyabout sex with men and women, employingdescriptive candor meant to make audiencessquirm a bit.

She promises more of the same, withnew material about her family and livingpart-time in a small town outside Atlantawhere "Drop Dead Diva" is shot. On theshow, she plays Teri Lee, the assistant to ayoung attorney who shares a body with the

spirit of a dead model.But after hours, she plays Margaret, the

bold advocate for gay marriage who is livingin an area popular with Tea Party activists.

"I guess I was put in this situation so Icould write about it," she said during a recentinterview.

Cho has found it hard to reconcile howtownsfolk can be so welcoming and graciouswhile still displaying "real ugliness" aboutgay people.

"There's distrust of progressives and lib-erals in general," she said.

Weighty social matters have long been apart of her stand-up act. She plays on stereo-types about Asian people for laughs, but isreally trying to raise consciousness about akind of racism that she believes is less bla-tant than what other underrepresented mi-norities may face.

"It's more about non-inclusion," she said."Like we don't somehow matter. I have aconsciousness about race, that it is reallymore important to talk about it and confrontinvisibility. Stereotypes are preferable to in-visibility."

Having a stage and a microphone to de-ploy her brand of defiant humor is still adream come true for Cho.

"I'm lucky and love what I do," she said.

we must focus on the healthand welfare of the horse andrider," Beshear said."Through Saddle Up SAFE-LY, UK HealthCare seeks toeducate current and futureriders about the hazards ofriding and about simple steps

that can be taken to preventaccidents."

A study shows riderswith 50 hours or less of rid-ing experience were foundmost likely to be injured, theprogram's website said. Thestudy also recognized that themore advanced the rider, thegreater the chance of seriousinjury, and the less likely theriders are to use a helmet.

Each year, millions of

Americans enjoy horsebackriding activities. Horsebackriding is a popular activityfor people of all ages but ithas an increased risk of in-jury.

Saddle Up SAFELY andUK HealthCare hope to makehorseback riding safer andmore pleasurable for all ridersand equine enthusiasts notonly in Kentucky, but also forthe Games' participants.

I have to start with amessage to my readers: don’tlet predispositions deter youfrom seeing this film.

Whether you love or hatethe social and technologicalrevolution that is Facebook,you can’t deny the immenseimpact it has had on the waywe communicate. “The So-cial Network” reminds us ofthat, yes. But there is muchmore about engrossing, intel-ligent film that makes it asucceed. The story of MarkZuckerberg via BenMezrich’s 2009 book, “TheAccidental Billionaires,” willwow you.

The shy Mark Zuckerberg(Jessie Eisenberg) during hispre-millionaire days is a Har-vard freshman. He’s a geekygenius, but he wants to be amember of a prestigious and

exclusive Harvard fraternity.He knows he’s not getting aninvite, and it makes him bit-ter. So bitter it drives his girl-friend to dump him.

After he gets the boot,Zuckerberg makes the firstmove in the Facebook saga.Hacking into the university’s“facebooks”, websites withphotographs of each dorm’sresidents, he steals the picsand puts them on a websitehe makes called “Facemash.”It gets about 22,000 hits in anhour and subsequently crash-es Harvard’s network.

Right about here, direc-tor David Fincher (FightClub, The Curious Case ofBenjamin Button) starts split-ting screen time between le-gal proceedings years in thefuture, a still- bitter Zucker-berg and several integral

characters. This now-and-lat-er type storytelling creates thesense of drama before it evenensues. This task is difficultto pull off without interrupt-ing the narrative. but it’s donewell here.

The network-crashingstunt gets Zuckerberg in trou-ble with his school, but it alsogains him notoriety as a pro-grammer. Two campus hot-shot jocks, the Winklevosstwins, approach him. Thesetwo rich boys are everythingour protagonist wants to be.They pitch him an idea for a

website, a kind of exclusiveHarvard MySpace. they askhim to program it for them,he agrees.

Did I say protagonist? It’shard to decide at firstwhether or not to trustZuckerberg as our champion,although it is easy to sympa-thize with Eisenberg’s wittyunderdog character. The shortmeeting between the Win-klevoss twins and Zuckerbergis the last time they speak inperson without lawyers pres-ent, because Zuckerberg sortakinda steals their idea andmakes “The Facebook.” Thewebsite is a hit and Zucker-berg expands, hiring his bestand only friend as CFO; afriend who is also suingZuckerberg.

At its core, the story isabout a Harvard outcast ge-

nius with a jealous grudgeand plenty of, ironically, so-cial ineptitude. But there’salso the dirty and complicat-ed genesis of a $25 billioncommunication giant, and, ofcourse, the other players whoare trying to get a piece of thepie.

In addition to the Win-klevosses, one of the piechasers is Napster founderSean Parker, played by an en-ergetic Justin Timberlake.Parker comes off like an oldermore confident Zuckerberg,and the two click naturally –causing the tension that dragsbest friend and CFO, Bryan,out of the picture.

It’s important to note thatthe neither the Winklevosstwins nor anyone else whocomplicates Zuckerberg’slife are unlikeable charac-

ters. Really, none of thecharacters in the movie areunlikeable; they are human.This is a fact-based movie. Ithas an underlying artistic de-sign, but Fincher has madesure not to lead us into get-ting attached to any of thecharacters.

“The Social Network” isa complicated and involvedfilm, and it might take awhile for it all to sink in.The two hour film has non-stop dialogue, some ofwhich is quite technical orlegal, but it’s truly a thrill towatch it all unfold. If it’s notthe subject matter that drawsus in, then it’s the unforget-table characters, the well di-rected drama or, at the veryleast, the mesmerizing truestory. This one’s a winner--4 stars.

Maybe Michael Mitchell had theright idea. For those of you who forgotor did not see, Mitchell is the UK epi-

demiology graduate stu-dent and anesthesia tech-nician who was fired bythe University in Januaryof 2010 for having afirearm in his car.

Maybe he knewsomething other studentsdid not ever see coming.

Safety is the one is-sue everyone assumeswill take care of itselfbut one nobody pays

attention to until a lapse occurs. Studentswalk at night all the time around thiscampus, whether it be by themselves orin a group. Should they have to worryabout being robbed? The answer is noand the answer should always be no.

So why did the robberies occur?How did we get to this point?

A February 5, 2009 Kernel editorialstated that this campus is safe and gener-ally, each student would probably agreewith that.

But almost two years later, we are ata crossroads. Just as funding shortageshurt the education quality, funding short-ages are hurting campus safety. Educationand safety are two completely differentissues. The mind power and innovation

of students’ brains can overcome an edu-cation funding shortage but when itcomes to the lives and well-being of thestudents on this campus, you are rollingthe wrong dice.

It’s not fair for students (or their par-ents who pay thousands of dollars to sendtheir children here) to have to worryabout whether or not they will make ithome from the library at night. You canprice an education, but you can’t price alife — and that is precisely the gambleUK is taking.

It’s time to step up, UK Police andLexington Police. Focus on the safety ofstudents, not breaking up parties at everyopportunity possible.

I want to see substantial change. Ido not want to see a video from JohnCalipari telling me how to be safe. Let’sget real now, everyone loves Calipari,but for him to address the situation be-fore the UK police is pretty sad.

Although the one thing that shouldreally make students mad is the non-re-sponse by UK Police and UK PoliceChief Joe Monroe’s comment that stu-dents should not travel alone.

“All of the victims have been isolatedand alone,” Monroe said in a Sept. 24Kernel article. “That’s one of the safetyprecautions we always recommend —that you don’t walk alone, that you don’tput yourself in a situation where you’re

going to be by yourself.”Why can’t students walk alone? This

campus is a place of learning, notGotham City. A college campus shouldbe a safe place where students can travelwith or without another individual andnot have to worry about being robbed atgunpoint.

I suppose the new precedent, though,is five robberies, and then it’s time to dosomething. Driving through campusThursday evening, I saw the effects ofthis change in security, but it made mewonder, why didn’t this occur earlier?Why did it take five robberies for UKPolice to evoke change? It only tookCalipari four robberies before he decidedit was enough.

Students, you need to start asking thequestions. Ask your campus police whythere were five robberies before the issuewas addressed. When UK alerts come outand students just brush them off, youknow you have a problem on your hands.

Maybe we should have taken MichaelMitchell’s actions as a warning of whatwas to come. He had the right idea: youcan’t count on others to provide safety.

After five robberies in two weeks, itmay be time to start taking things in yourown hands. Who can you trust?

Tailgating before a sportingevent brings good times, mem-ories, entertainment and trash— lots of trash.

But convenience to home-town fans is harmful to the en-vironment and time consum-ing to post-game clean-upcrews.

After football games, theparking lot is consistently lit-tered with remnants of theparty scene of hours prior.The thousands of cans, wrap-pers and paper plates scatterlike leaves.

The blame is on every-one.

The obvious group toframe is the tailgating com-munity. Individuals who donot clean up are responsiblefor the accumulation of trash,and therefore, the degrada-tion of areas surrounding thestadium.

The meager effort re-quired to bag excess waste isindisputable. Littering is driv-en by laziness.

Inherently, the university

needs to do a better job pro-viding additional receptaclesin heavily populated areas, sotailgaters will no longer havean excuse to continue theirrotten habit.

With more containers todispose of garbage and recy-clable materials, tailgatersare more likely to use them.Tailgaters will have more ac-countability if such deposito-ries exist.

The Sept. 20 Kernel fea-tured “Wildcats Take Out theTrash,” a group battling trashand recycling the residue ofthe tailgating heyday.

Groups like this shouldbe commended. Their moti-vation to collect empty, fly-infested beer cans and otherfilth from strangers showsconcern for campus. In fact,this group is one of the onlyUK efforts to keep a cleancampus.

Until one party steps up,crews working feverishly toclean the waste will continue tobe in place, working tirelesslyuntil 2 a.m. following eachevent.

The Cats are headed toRocky Top to end a threegame Southeastern Confer-ence road trip against the ri-val Tennessee Volunteers.

The Cats split their firsttwo matches on the trip, los-ing at Auburn on Friday night,but winning at Georgia onSunday. UK (8-6, 2-2 SEC)now faces it’s toughest roadtest yet in Knoxville againstthe No. 19 Vols (10-3, 2-2).

“We have no worriesabout getting ready for thematch,” UK head coach CraigSkinner said. “We had two

great matches against (Ten-nessee) last year and learneda lot about ourselves.”

UK began its road tripwith a visit to Auburn. Aftertaking a commanding twosets to one lead in the matchagainst the unranked Tigers,UK failed to cement the vic-tory, losing a heartbreakingfourth set and then dropping adramatic fifth set that wentdown to the wire. The losswas a tough one for the Catsto swallow, but they tried toremain optimistic going for-ward.

“We made way too manyerrors, and certainly didn’tplay well,” Skinner said. “But

we were still in a position towin. That says a lot about ourteam this year.”

After Auburn, the Catstraveled down to Georgia totake on the Bulldogs. UKseemed to be out of rhythm tostart the match following theAuburn loss, dropping thefirst two sets and beingpushed to the brink. But theCats responded in a big way,coming back to win the lastthree sets and the match.

“We had leads in thematch and we blew them,”Skinner said. “Our startersneeded to step up and theydid. We changed the line uparound a little by getting play-

ers like Gretchen (Giesler),Christine (Hartmann) and Jes-si (Greenberg) into the match,and got the job done.”

A big reason for the Catscomeback win was seniorBlaire Hiler, who led theteam with 18 kills and com-manded the net defensivelyall match.

“We expected (Blaire) andall the seniors to step up for uson the road,” Skinner said.“She and (Lauren) Rapp had a

big day at the net and it helpedcarry our team to a victory.”

Now, the Cats prepare forTennessee, who won both ofthe matches between the twoteams a year ago. They lost athome to Tennessee in four setswhen the Cats were rankedseventh in the nation, and thenlost in Tennessee in five sets toend their regular season. TheCats were in contention inboth matches and are certainlynot intimidated by the highly

ranked Volunteers.Playing a ranked team on

the road is always a chal-lenge, but Skinner and theplayers are confident thatthey have the ability to winunder the circumstances.

“We have had our shareof tough matches and of fiveset matches already this sea-son,” Skinner said. “We justneed to iron some things outin practice this week and wewill be ready.”

Volleyball finishes up road trip against Tennessee

Despite the losing streakto the Florida Gators extend-ing to 24 games, the Cats areoptimistic that they can for-get about Saturday’sblowout.

UK (3-1, 0-1 Southeast-ern Conference) can’t affordto dwell on the loss, UK headcoach Joker Phillips said,with another SEC road gameagainst Ole Miss (2-2, 0-1SEC) upcoming this week-end.

“I think they're over (theloss). I feel like they're overit,” Phillips said. “Kids getover it quicker than coaches.That's the other thing … itlasts a little bit longer forcoaches, a lot longer actuallythan it does for players. Butas soon as you touch down inLexington, the phones arestarting to blast and the head-sets, (the players) are listen-ing to Nelly and KanyeWest.”

Phillips also said that hereminded his players of theirfast start to the season andthat by winning on the road inOxford, Miss., the chance fora “great season” is still verymuch a possibility.

However, when a Gators’offense ranked 11th in the 12-team SEC entering the week-end racked up 466 yards oftotal offense, it left somequestions to be answered ondefense. Specifically, thenumber of missed tackles inthe second and third levels ofthe defense.

“You've got to step onpeople's toes. We're not step-ping on people's toes and run-ning through tackles,”Phillips said. “We've got tohave a couple periods justthis week where we're doingsome full speed tackling. Wehave to.”

Phillips already addressedthe tackling issue with histeam yesterday during filmstudy.

“We missed a lot of tack-les that we should’ve made,”junior safety Winston Guysaid.

More missed tackles willlead to more trouble for theUK defense, who have thetask of shutting down OleMiss senior dual-threat quar-terback Jeremiah Masoli andjunior tailback Brandon Bold-en, who is averaging 7.7yards per carry.

“Masoli is a good player,he passes it and runs it just as

well, and that running back(Bolden) ran for 200-some-thing yards,” Guy said.“That’s the thing we’ve gotto stop: the run…every-body’s got to be in on theball.”

Masoli transferred to OleMiss after being dismissedfrom Oregon’s team in thesummer for disciplinary rea-sons. Phillips likened the for-mer Oregon gunslinger to for-mer Florida quarterback TimTebow, not only because ofplaying style, but also be-cause of his ability to lead anoffense.

Equally promising forUK quarterback Mike Hart-line, and the UK offense, isthat the Rebels’ defense hasgiven up the most points inthe SEC and lost star defen-sive end Kentrell Lockettwith an ACL tear on Satur-day.

“If they’re giving up a lotof points, we definitely wantto exploit that,” senior offen-sive tackle Brad Durhamsaid.

Even though scoringmany points seems like a pos-sibility, as UK found out lastweek, expectations don’t al-ways come to fruition in theSEC.

“I think our guys still feelconfident that they now un-derstand how fast the game isplayed in this league,”Phillips said. “It is played alot faster than we had playedin the first three games.

“We're not 0 and 4, we're3 and 1, and we've got to staypositive.”
