Reversing fortunesBye week preps UK for ‘second season’ 6
PHOTO BY QUIANNA LIGE | STAFFUK volleyball, which had cracked the Top 25 rankings for the first time all season this week, beat No.18 Tennessee in a five-set match Wednesday night at Memorial Coliseum.
Seizing control
During the month of October, UK will seepink.
The UK community is getting involved in avariety of ways to show support duringNational Breast Cancer Awareness month.
It is the second-largest type of cancer inthe U.S. behind skin cancer, and it is the sec-ond-largest cancer killler after lung cancer.
On Saturday, Oct. 15, the Lexingtonbranch of the Susan G. Komen for the CureFoundation will hold its 15th annual Race forthe Cure. It will take place at CentrePointe indowntown Lexington.
According to their website, the nationalbranch of the Susan G. Komen Foundationwas founded in 1982 and has raised almost $2billion to fight breast cancer.
The event is the most recognized of theyear for the foundation.
However, the Komen Foundation hasyear-round opportunities for people to con-tribute to fundraising to find a cure for breastcancer.
Proceeds made from race registration andother events will go toward, among otherthings, helping patients with treatments whocan’t afford it, education for breast cancer andresearch.
Kelsey Ryan, a marketing senior, will par-ticipate in this year’s Komen Race for theCure.
Ryan has been an active contributor in thefight against cancer for years.
“In the past, I have always participated inthe Race for the Cure with my family,” Ryansaid.
She decided to take on the personal re-sponsibility of extending charity on her ownthis year.
“I have heard more about breast cancerawareness this October and wanted to get in-volved again,” Ryan said.
When Ryan was younger, her mother’sbest friend was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Kathy had been fighting it for as longas I can remember,” she said. “Even whenher medicine quit working she never gaveup and she even tried experimental treat-ments.”
One characteristic Ryan remembers mostabout Kathy was her courageousness.

UK volleyball got a hugewin at Memorial Coliseum onnational television, beatingNo. 18 Tennessee 3-2 (26-24,24-26, 25-20, 24-26, 15-13).UK improved its record to17-3 (8-1).
“Statistically, if you lookat it before the match, you’rethinking this is going to be agreat match, and it was,” saidhead coach Craig Skinner.“Sixty-five kills to 63 kills,34 errors to 33 errors. But thedefense is what made a bigdifference for us. Eight serv-ing aces compared to zero,and nine more digs and fiveblocks. You’ve got to playgood defense to win againstgood teams, which Tennesseeis. I think that was the bigdifference in the end.”
Tennessee’s KelseyRobinson made the game dif-ficult for UK defenders.
“We knew we would notstop her, but if we could slowher down and hold her to arelatively low hitting percent-age then it’s going to give us
a much better chance to win,”Skinner said. “She got a lot ofkills, but it was important thatwe got her thinking. We gother to alter her shots a littlebit. She is a great player andshe still gets 19 kills andalmost wins the match forthem.”
The back-and-forth dis-play of talent went late intothe evening. Tennessee didnot want to leave town indefeat, but had no answer forjunior Whitney Billings.
“Whitney was veryfocused and competitivetonight,” Skinner said. “If shemade an error, it was aggres-sive. She is awfully hard todefend and account for. Shehad six blocks and eight digs,and was in the right place atthe right time. The fifth gameI think she probably madefour or five plays that gave usthe momentum.”
At stake was the SECEast lead, and the environ-ment in the gym was a factor.
“The atmosphere wasamazing,” senior BeckyPavan said. “It’s been a longtime since we have had such
an excitable crowd. Theyreally participated and werepumping energy into theteam. It really helped us keepour energy up and get thewin.”
Skinner also gave highmarks to the scene during thegame.
“I got goose bumps whenwe were up 14-13 in the finalset,” Skinner said. “The ‘GoBig Blue’ chants started, Imean that was pretty impres-sive when your crowd doesthat. It gives you confidenceand momentum and makes amajor difference.”
The victory over the LadyVols intensifies the battle forconference supremacyhalfway through the season.
“It’s really important;there are three teams that nowhave one loss in the confer-ence,” Skinner said. “You justreally have to take care ofbusiness. The most importantthing for us now is gettingfocused on Mississippi State.It’s a long season. You havegot to win the matchesagainst big teams and takecare of business at home.”

UK students will have the opportunity toaudition for the longest-running reality TVshow.
Auditions for season 27 of MTV’s “RealWorld” are being held in Lexington on Oct.15from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Tin Roof.
Those who are interested must be betweenthe ages of 20 to 24, have a photo identificationand a recent photo that the casting directors cankeep.
Michael Snow, a UK graduate, auditionedfor the “Real World” in 2009. He auditionedbecause he “thought that it would be an en-lightening experience.”
After filling out an application, the for-mal casting process commences with indi-viduals being placed into groups of 8 to 10people .
“We’d go in a circle and all answer a ques-tion about ourselves,” Snow said.
Once the first round of interviews has tak-en place, the casting directors deliberate andchoose unique individuals for second-roundcallbacks.
The “Real World” is looking for thosewho are “charismatic, draw attention, are goodstory tellers and have an interesting story totell,” said Damon Furberg, supervising castingdirector. “It’s a combination of presentationand content.”

UK students may have anew option for off-campushousing in the fall of 2013.
Hallmark Campus Com-munities, based in Columbus,Ohio, is coming to Lexingtonto construct a new 832-bedcomplex.
The former Tattersallssite will be part of the 10-acre complex facing SouthBroadway.
James H. Frazier III, aLexington attorney represent-ing Hallmark, said a principal
partner in the project alsoworked on Newtown Cross-ing and other housing proj-ects in Lexington.
The complex, whichHallmark plans to begin con-struction in 2012, will consistof four four-story buildingsand will boast more ameni-ties than other complexes inLexington to date, Fraziersaid.
“The complex isn’t goingto have normal amenities,” hesaid. “Everything will bemore upscale than we’veseen thus far.”
The amenities will in-
clude a pool, work-out facili-ties, outdoor volleyball andbasketball courts, and a club-house.
Jason Wulfeck, a market-ing senior who lives at theLex, said that the amenitiesare the best part about livingat off-campus complexes.
“It’s so nice to have theluxuries of home,” he said.“Having a pool and all theother facilities in the complexis so convenient.”

A UK professor is recieving nationalrecognition.
Nikky Finney, a professor in theEnglish department, is a finalist for theNational Book Award in poetry. Five fi-nalists were announced Wednesday.
Her work, “Head Off & Split,” wasreleased in February and is her fourthcollection of poems.
The inspiration for the book camefrom an experience she is familiar with.
As a child, her mother would askher to go to the local fish market in herhometown in South Carolina.
The fishmonger would ask, “Headoff and split?”
As a child, these words were nothingshort of standard procedure.
When she heard these words as anadult, they developed a new meaning.
“It made me think about the thingsthat we cut away in life and dismiss,”she said. “What we don’t want to look atbecause they are too unpopular andtough to deal with.”
Finney said her work was a result of“burning the midnight oil.”
She said inspiration comes from “thesolo work that a writer does, when youare at your desk and there is nobodythere to help you.”
The metaphor for the book sur-rounds a common theme in her writing.
“I write about tough subjects, differ-ent times — things we wish we couldpush away,” Finney said.
She said she feels honored to be rec-ognized for her work.
“I’m so proud that something I haveworked so hard on has been pulled for-ward to another arena — somewhereI’ve never been before,” she said.
Finney teaches creative writing atUK, and students seem to enjoy herclasses, said Mark Kornbluh, dean of the
College ofArts & Sci-ences.
“I’m real-ly excited tohave her atUK and thatstudents havethe opportuni-ty to haveclasses with aleading poet,”K o r n b l u hsaid.
The win-ners will be
announced Nov. 16 in New York. Win-ners receive $10,000.
“The other four poets are stunning andtreasured American poets,” she said. “I’mhonored to be counted in this number.”

Thousands of miles away from UK,in a refugee camp on the border ofKenya and Somalia, people are sufferingthrough a great famine.
There has been little to no rainfall forthe entire year in Somalia.
With this tragedy in mind, the Mus-lim Student Association held a fundrais-ing dinner, with all proceeds going toMuslims Without Borders, a non-profitorganization that focuses on relief work.
The Feast for Somalia raised $2,400,which beat the original goal.
It was considered a fast-a-thon, andpatrons of the feast were asked to fastthroughout the day. The money theywould have spent on food was donatedto Muslims Without Borders.

You wonder what ideas they rejectedbefore green-lighting a movie about birdwatching. Movies based on breakfast cere-als? “Farmville 3D”? A history of dirigi-bles?
Watching “The Big Year,” a slovenlymix of nature movie and buddy comedy,you doubt that even the people making itenjoyed it. A better title would be “The BigYawn.”
Owen Wilson, Jack Black and SteveMartin are utterly uninvolving as competi-tive birders in a three-way duel to recordthe most species sightings in a year. Wilsonplays the reigning champ, a strutting pea-cock dressed in neon hues, with an equallyvivid ego. Black is a sweetly earnest officedrone with a perfect pitch for bird calls andMartin is a CEO abandoning the rat race forthe bird race. Since their competition is ayearlong ramble across the United Stateswith no physical finish line, you can't tellwho's winning until the end. The bustle toreach each rare bird’s habitat is literally allover the place.
The stars intersect at random with al-most no give-and-take among the threemen. As they zigzag from Alaska toLouisiana to Colorado, we’re treated topleasant Tourist Bureau panoramas (and acouple of rank-looking dumps) but scantentertainment.
In a misguided attempt to create femaleinterest in this story of men in the woodswith binoculars, three romantic/domesticsubplots have been bolted onto the super-structure. Wilson’s stay-at-home wife(Rosamund Pike) wants to conceive a baby,Martin's son and daughter-in-law deliver agrandchild, and Black pines for a fellowbirder (elfin Rashida Jones). These mawk-ish run-free-or-settle-down dilemmas slowthe film's negligible momentum to a crawl.
If you carry any strong impression awayfrom this unmemorable movie, it will be ofSteve Martin's face, apparently paralyzed bya Botox overdose. I liked him better when helooked craggy and had movable eyebrows.

heard her complain about how ter-rible she must have felt,” saidRyan.
She said she didn’t initiallyunderstand the severity of herloved one’s disease.
“At the time, I didn't grasphow serious breast cancer was,”she said. “After all, she wasyoung and looked healthy.”
When Ryan was a fresh-man in high school, Kathydied after years of fightingbreast cancer.
“Even though she lost her bat-tle, she was able to raise aware-ness and give other people strug-gling with the disease hope,”Ryan said.
Kathy’s legacy lives on nowthrough Ryan. She wants to con-tribute what she can to heightenawareness about the disease, shesaid.
Ryan understands that“awareness and early detectioncan help save lives,” she said.“(It is) important for me to raiseawareness about breast cancer,because so many people aretouched by this disease—even
people in college.”On Wednesday, Oct. 12, UK
sorority members, includingRyan, were given the opportunityto attend an educational discus-sion on campus, titled “Feel YourBoobies.”
UK HealthCare Nurse Practi-tioner Joanne Brown led the cam-paign for the second year in a row.
“Particularly, I hope youngwomen will become familiar withtheir own bodies so they're able tonotice changes,” she said.
She stressed the importance ofdoing self-examinations.
“It's better to know how todetect breast cancer earlier,”Brown said. “The most importantthing is for them to know how itnormally feels.”
She noted that if women com-mit to a healthy lifestyle they cangreatly reduce their chances ofcontracting breast cancer.
“Being physically active, ex-ercising 30 minutes daily, limitingalcohol, eating fruits and vegeta-bles and not smoking will signifi-cantly lower their risks of gettingthe disease,” Brown said.

sary to compete in the off-campusstudent housing market.
A natural progression of im-provements will be offered at thenewest available housing complex inthe area, Frazier said.
“It’s going to have a ‘new toy’aspect,” he said. ‘’But it will matchup in price point with other complex-es in the area.”
Wulfeck agreed that the pricingof these units will be important.
“Off-campus housing is expen-sive,” he said. “There’s no way col-
lege students would be looking topay even more even with moreamenities, especially when optionslike Newtown, the Lex and 524 arestill going to be available to them.”
Frazier said that even with newand high quality amenities, Hallmarkwill have to keep housing costs com-parable to other student options orthey will price themselves out of themarket.
The Red Mile site will have anadvantage in the area with easier ac-cess to campus, Frazier said.
“One reason that Hallmark wasselected for this project is because ofthe access they already had to theNewtown bridge from working onthe Newtown Crossing complex,”
Frazier said. “The ability for studentsto park at the complex and walk tocampus with such convenience is ahuge selling point for the location.”
Tony Blanton, director of off-campus student services, said 22,000students at UK currently live offcampus.
Blanton said it is imprtant for stu-dents to have several good housingoptions available to them, and it lookslike Hallmark is trying to ensure thatthey do.
“The market will determinewhether new housing is needed inany particular area,” Blanton said inan email to the Kernel. “However, itis always good to see new, safe hous-ing built near campus.”

“We want to makesure that people are differ-ent enough for conflictbut have enough in com-
mon to be friends,” hesaid.
Traditionally, the casthas consisted of seven andoccassionally eight mem-bers.
These individuals hailfrom all different cities inthe U.S. with variousbackgrounds.
Jessica Usery, a juniorat UK, plans to audition
for the upcoming season ofthe “Real World.”
She said she wants toaudition because she hasalways been a fan and en-joys the dynamic of theshow.
Just as the cast goesthrough a casting process,so does the location for the“Real World.”
The possibilities for
the location are wide open,Furberg said.
The whole castingprocess culminates rightbefore Christmas, takingapproximately threemonths to find the chem-istry for the show.

Most people think a cos-tume designer is someonewho just designs costumesfor a play and is finished.What most do not see are thehours of work and dedicationit takes to bring the ideas in ascript to the final wardrobeproduct seen on stage.
Nelson Fields, the cos-tume designer for UK’s the-atre department, knows howto create and set up one of themost important parts of a pro-duction: the thespians’ attire.
Not only is he the cos-tume designer, but he takeson many roles for the theatredepartment. He is a facultymember, teacher and adviserto his students.
Besides costume design,Fields said his favorite part ofhis job is being able to workwith the students because it“keeps you younger.”
Lucy Hargett, a senior the-atre major and a student ofFields said, “I learned morefrom him than I have anyother professor in this depart-ment.”
Fields admits to certain
disdains of being a facultymember, such as grading pa-pers, but he loves his job.
“I know some peoplewho complain about howmuch they hate their work,but I love it,” Fields said. “Iget to do what I want to do.”
Fields attended UK in the1970’s, and since then he hasdesigned costumes for morethan 250 productions, includ-ing about 60 UK productions.Once in a while, Fields likesto take positions outside ofthe school for multiple rea-sons.
“It is getting harder and
harder to get design jobsthese days,” Fields said.
The most important rea-son to keep connections out-side of UK is to help the stu-dents find jobs when they areneeded, he said.
“He is there for the stu-dents, always,” Hargett said.
After finishing costumesfor the fall production, “Mon-key King: Havoc in Heaven,”Fields is on to his next ven-ture: “Romeo and Juliet.”Each play requires a com-pletely different approach,Fields said. For Romeo andJuliet, he has read the script
seven times over and had to“buy all of the latest fashionmagazines” to see what isconsidered high-class fashiontoday.
“I am constantly beingchallenged,” Fields said.“My job is to provide infor-mation for the audience aboutwho these (characters) are.”
Despite being challengedwith every production, Fieldsseems to have a grasp on whathe does. Fields has traveledto Las Vegas, Reno, Houston,New York and many otherplaces to design for larger the-atre companies. He has evendesigned pieces that are stillbeing used in current produc-tions .
When asked what his fa-vorite production is, Fieldscould not pick one, but men-tioned musicals in general.
In 1984, Fields was a cos-tume designer for an outdoortheatre in Texas where the
production of “Hello Dolly”ran. He created more than500 costumes for the 80 ac-tors, and worked with a well-known jazz singer whoplayed the main role.
During two of the per-formances, the audience ap-plauded his work.
“It is not something thatis normally seen,” Fields said.“When someone told me itwas my costumes that werebeing applauded, I could notbelieve it.”
“I am focusing on cos-tume design because of hisinfluence. He has given me abetter understanding of thefield.” said Hargett.
He has been asked byFields to be the assistant cos-tume designer for the upcom-ing “Romeo and Juliet” play.
“Nelson Fields has in-stilled in me a passion forcostume design,” Hargettsaid.

Fleet Foxes’“Mykonos” lights up
the stage
For those of you whoread my article last week,those besides my mother andfriends whom I relentlesslynag to read my column,you’re aware that I wroteabout Fleet Foxes. And forthose of you who don’t knowme as well as they do, youshould probably know this:It’s nearly impossible for meto express my feelings formusic in the absurd 300-word count column that I’mconfined to write within.Hence the reason I decidedto write a second articleabout that same band I sawlast week.
The Louisville Palacewas the perfect venue to hostFleet Foxes because of itsintimate feel. A backdrop offalling snow would occa-sionally change from song tosong by form of geometricshapes that strikingly resem-bled the iTunes visualizer.The band humbly took thestage and filled the roomwith the tenderly approached
voice of Robin Pecknold.The rest of the band fol-lowed along instinctively,like they were woodlandcreatures venturing throughtheir forest, making magicalmusic with enchanting har-monies and dreamy man-dolin riffs along the way.
Highlighting the showwas their song, “Mykonos.”The dim lights flickered asimple silhouette over them.The steady beat of“Mykonos” was easily car-ried by backup vocals. Toan oblivious onlooker, itwas just another song byjust another band. To a fan,it was the perfect storm.
The constant rhythm of“Mykonos” becamestripped, leaving only voicesand a rippled guitar tomatch. Nothing was over-done. And then as suddenlyas the song descended into apeaceful calm, it ripenedinto this robustly colorfulcelebration of tambourinesand drums.
A red glow of the lightslit up Pecknold’s flannel andface.
For the first time ever, itwas clear what Fleet Foxeslooked like, and beautifullyclear what Fleet Foxessounded like.

Sidewalk Music Seriesis an outdoor concert seriesthat the Student ActivitiesBoard created to give cam-pus a happier, more upbeatatmosphere.
Local hip-hop artistsDevine Carama andEmanuel Webb are incharge of doing just thatThursday at noon outside ofK-Lair.
Sidewalk Series was anidea introduced by SethMurphy, the director of con-certs at SAB, and has beencatching students’ attentionas they walk to and fromclasses.
Sidewalk Music Seriesstarted on Sept. 8 and hassince been consistent inbringing local musicians tovarious locations aroundcampus every Thursday.
Having the concerts atdifferent parts of campusis a way to reach out to alarger number of students.Both artists performingthis Thursday are fromLexington, and each hastheir own unique way ofexpressing their talentsthough music.
Devine Carama, a UKgraduate who played mi-nor league baseball fortwo years, said music hasalways been a part of hislife, although he onlystarted taking music seri-ously about five yearsago. Carama is known forhis original approach tohip-hop. He tries to be an
inspiration for people withhis powerful, positivelyrics.
Before turning musicinto a career, he said it wasmore like a hobby.
“Performing at openmics on campus, freestylebattles in the park and athouse parties, and partici-pating in local talentshows,” Carama said.
When asked his style ofmusic, Carama simply said,“I am a hip-hop artist.”
“My goal in music is toinspire other artists creative-ly and motivate my peoplespiritually and socially,” hesaid. “Most college studentsare enlightened and pro-gressive so they generally
gravitate more to the social-ly conscious MC’s. I'm al-ways delighted to rock outon any college campus —especially UK.”
For Thursday’s perform-ance, Carama said he willdefinitely be performing thesong “Hang Onto theWorld.”
Carama said he is veryexcited to perform out-doors and believes theSidewalk Series is an ex-cellent idea.
“Performing outside isso dope. It feels so free, itmakes me feel like mylyrics can be heard milesaway,” Carama said. “Ithink the Sidewalk Series ishuge. I think it not only pro-
motes indie and local mu-sic, which often speaksabout the progressive thingsthat college students can re-late to, but it also provides adose of free entertainmenton campus and breaks upthe monotony of theireveryday lives.”
Webb, also known in themusic industry as “Thor-oughbred Webb”, has been-recording since he was asenior in high school.
Webb attended KSUand became part of a triocalled Kuntrynoiz.
Kuntrynoiz evolved intoa band, added instrumentalsand now performs in vari-ous states, according toWebb.
His style of music is avery distinct rap.
“Whether it’s the beatsor the lyrics, I always aimfor a left-field approach,”Webb said. “There’s nobragging about drugs andguns in my music. Justeveryday topics broughtup in an unconventionalway.”
Webb was once told byWRFL’s DJ Cass he has a“southern, backpacker” rapstyle.
“‘Alternative Hip-Hop’is probably the easiest de-scription of my music,”Webb said.
Webb has five songs ondeck for Thursday’s per-
formance. Three of them,“B-Boy at Heart,” “JustBreathe” and “Well Wish-es” are solos, which Webbsaid he loves performingand are “crowd pleasers.”
Webb said he has beensaving two songs specifical-ly to be unveiled at Side-walk Series.
“I'm confident that (stu-dents) can really get intothe new songs as well,” hesaid.
Webb performed at UKa few years ago duringOpen Mic night, and saidthe reception was good.
“Hopefully, that samewarm reception can return,”Webb said.

John Calipari couldn’t re-ally help himself.
Speaking at the KentuckyTip-Off Luncheon inLouisville Wednesday, theUK head coach said that,while he typically doesn’t“make any promises” abouthis team, he does envisionthem being national title con-tenders.
“My vision is, at the endof the year, we’ll be one ofthose teams up at bat sluggingit for the whole thing,” Cali-pari said, according to theLouisville Courier-Journal’slive stream of the event.“That’s where we’ll be. I’mconvinced of that because themore I’m around these young(players), the more I’m con-vinced they really want this.”
Winning a title isn’t theonly place Calipari wants histeam to succeed. He listed hisgoals of having the highestteam grade-point average andhighest APR in the countryon the academic side, andwinning a championship andhaving “six guys drafted” onthe athletic side.
“Why don’t we think likekings?” Calipari said.
Calipari labeled this mo-tive “The Kentucky Effect.”He discussed this same con-cept multiple times last sea-son, but it’s the official sloganfor this season now, plasteredon the team yearbook.
“This is a players-firstprogram,” Calipari said. “It isabout those young people. Iwould be disappointed if wewin a national title and noone’s drafted. I would be dis-appointed. This is about thoseyoung people. This is abouthelping them reach theirdreams. This is about themdragging us to moments thatlast a lifetime. Not us drag-ging them.”
The team Calipari has is,in his own words, “unconven-tional.” But he’s seen signifi-cant improvement from theveterans and enough from thefreshmen to know how goodthey can be. He said he has“six, maybe seven starters,”and that former UK coach JoeB. Hall told him it was the“best collection of playersyou’ve had since you’ve beenhere.”
Judging from Calipari’sown appraisal of his roster, hemight agree.
Calipari on TerrenceJones: “He’s finishing first inall the runs we do. … You
can see, the light went on.He’s chasing this. He wantsto be special.”
On Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: “If you thought De-Andre played hard andslashed, wait until you seethis man.”
On Marquis Teague:“When I talk to him, he is sozeroed in on me. Whatever Isay, he does. He wants to becoached.”
On Kyle Wiltjer: “KevinDurant came up to me andsaid, ‘That kid can play.’”
Calipari said Big BlueMadness would instill a“sense of responsibility” inthe players because theywould see how much the fanscare about them. In addition,having former UK players —including Nazr Mohammedand his Oklahoma City Thun-der teammates — come backto campus showed why theprogram matters so much.
It’s all part of “The Ken-tucky Effect.” And if it’s anyindication, Calipari expects itall to circle around where itmatters — on the court.
“It not only affects theoutcome,” Calipari said. “Itaffects how you perform andhow you practice and howyou prepare — which affectsthe outcome.”

Oh game day. How youexcite the college masses.With your infinite opportunityfor drunken shenanigans andexcessive amateur football,you never cease to run out ofrelevance.
And we all enjoy the at-mosphere. The music pump-ing through the speakers, thevideo boards showing expertlycut videos set to pulse-pound-ing music and the look ofeternal hope on the faces offans. It all comes together tomake something truly uniquefor the students.
And that is why, in myfirst article about the oh-sowonderful activities of a UKstudent, I will write of theglorious and irreverent con-tributors of this atmosphereknown as: the marching band.
The marching band, albeitone in the SEC, is a rare beastoften recognized only by itsboisterous sound and that oneobscure reference made in anAmerican Pie movie. And yetit is made up of so muchmore.
Around 200-plus studentsmake up this organization, soit can be reasoned that it ismore than just those big roundthings (power-phones) andthose small wand things (pic-colos).
While a class, the band isan extracurricular organizationthat has existed at UK forsome time and is an importantpart of what many studentsassociate with the university.And on game day, the bandbecomes even more importantin what the university pres-ents.
Being the committed re-porter I am, I have decided todocument what goes into be-ing a band member on gameday. It was hard and arduous,
but I prevailed. I’m just kid-ding, I’m in band, so it wasrelatively easy.
Here we go:7 a.m.: Zombie-like crea-
tures stumble onto Shivelyfield, grabbing doughnuts andjuice like they just rolled outof the Mojave Desert. But de-spite the ungodly hour, thereare still a few true fans thatalready have their paw printspainted on and lucky under-wear/sunglasses/tube socks inplace (I’m looking at you,Nancy Pickle).
7:30 a.m.: Practice beginswith a few choice wordsabout the opposing team (usu-ally something that wouldmake anyone from your moth-er to your fourth cousin blush)and then a run-through of thepregame and the current show.
9:30 a.m.: Sweating in un-comfortable places and feettingling, band members sepa-rate the river of tailgaters likethe second coming of Moses;and after politely declining themany offers of Natural Lightand bean dip, the band carriesinstruments, uniforms, flagsand bags over to BCTC wherethey set up a naval-like com-pound.
10 to 11:15ish a.m.: Aftera meal provided by KappaKappa Si and Tau Beta Sig-ma, miniature bands designat-ed with their letter,“C,” “A,”“T” or “S,” travel around en-tertaining the important folkwho want the feeling of a rapmogul, if only by having aminiature marching band (I’mlooking at you, President Ca-pioluto).
Once everyone has joinedback together in the BCTCauditorium, the sections writetheir prospective scores on theboard (anywhere from “21-7”to “Dear god have mercy”)and, after belting out “My OldKentucky Home,” head out toentertain the masses.
11:30 a.m.: The bandgathers to march around thestadium and play for thosewho either are too drunk tomake it into the stadium,
those who haven’t made itinto the stadium yet or thosewho are too afraid to go in forfear of having to watch thegame.
On a personal note, Iwould just like to take a mo-ment and thank those who dowatch us during this time. Youguys are what make it excit-ing.
To the people who dartthrough the band and attemptto play their own game ofFrogger with the Color Guardsection, I encourage you tothink twice about this in thefuture. I hear flags can bepainful when applied at 20mph to the shoulder.
11:45 a.m.: The band goesinto the stadium for pregame.After two-hour practices, threedays a week, this is reallywhat makes marching bandworth it.
The feeling of high-knee-ing it onto a field in front oftens of thousands of fans andplaying/spinning is like noother. Especially when yousee your face on the new gi-gantic screens — holy egoboost, Batman.
As the game begins, theband never sits or relaxes.From kickoff to the singing of“My Old Kentucky Home,”the band is on their feet andplaying the music that keepspeople occupied when theplaying on the field is bring-ing them to tears.
So the next time you arein Commonwealth Stadium,it’s halftime and your stomachis demanding nachos, hangaround and watch the march-ing band put on an awesomeshow. In no time, you’ll findyourself tapping your feet tothe beat of “Party Rock An-them” or clapping along withthe songs of Styx.
After all, with this seasonon track to be less than splen-did, you have to find your en-tertainment somewhere.

October is BreastCancer AwarenessMonth. Most peopleknow that breast can-cer is the most com-mon cancer inwomen, but did youknow that testicularcancer is the mostcommon cancer inmen ages 15-34?
University HealthServices wants to en-courage men to “feeltheir testicles” just as
women are encouraged to “feel theirboobies.”
Testicular cancer is found in the testi-cles and occurs when cells multiply outof control, forming a mass or lump. Fac-tors that may increase a man’s risk fortesticular cancer include an undescendedtesticle, abnormal testicle development,family history and age.
Symptoms of testicular cancer in-clude a lump or enlargement in eithertesticle, a dull ache in the abdomen orscrotum, pain or discomfort in a testicleor the scrotum, unexplained fatigue orgeneral feeling of not being well, amongothers.
Testicular cancer generally only af-fects one testicle. It is very rare and ishighly treatable, especially when detect-ed early. Regular testicular self-exami-nations (TSE) can help identify cancerearly, increasing the chance for success-ful treatment.
To perform a TSE, follow thesesteps:
1. Stand in front of a mirror. Lookfor any swelling on the skin of the scro-tum.
2. Examine each testicle with bothhands. Place the index and middle fin-gers under the testicle and place thethumb on top.
3. Gently roll the testicle between thethumbs and the fingers.
If you notice anything out of the or-dinary, including a lump, call your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Performing monthly TSE will allowyou to become familiar with the usuallook and feel of your testicles.
If you have any questions about tes-ticular cancer or how to perform a TSE,visit www.ukhealthcare.uky.edu/uhs.

The UK football teamwill hold an intra-squadscrimmage Thursday as itslast practice before the teambreaks for the remainder ofits bye week.
UK head coach JokerPhillips said the scrimmage isa chance for his coachingstaff to see what some of theyounger players can do asthey evaluate talent for thesecond half of the season.
“We’ve got to developsome of these young kids alsowhile getting this footballteam better,” Phillips said.“(The scrimmage) is a chancefor us... we had two reallygood days of practice and to-morrow is a day we got to tryto develop some of the youngkids and get them up tospeed.”
Some positions Phillipswill be keeping an eye onduring the scrimmage:
Running back: Withfreshman Josh Clemons outfor the rest of the year with atorn meniscus and openingday starter sophomore tail-back Raymond Sanders eas-ing his way back into thelineup, Phillips, along withrunning backs coach StevePardue and running game co-ordinator Mike Summers,will be keeping a close eye
on this position group. Juniortailback CoShik Williams hasreceived the most reps of anyUK back outside of Clemonsand Sanders, and will likelyget another chance to provehimself Thursday.
When asked if Thursdaywould be an audition for theplaying time vacated by theinjured Clemons, Williamsseemed more focused onplaying better football thanwith his playing time.
“Right now, every day atpractice is an audition for thespot,” Williams said. “Thescrimmage is a day for an au-dition, but every day at prac-tice, that's an audition for us.”
Phillips also mentionedredshirt freshman tailbackBrandon Gainer as a back hewill have his eye on through-out the scrimmage.
Wide receiver: The widereceiver position has been themost inconsistent position onthe Cats’ depth chart in 2011,with dropped passes and alack of aggression competingfor balls over defenders caus-ing fans to clamor for achange.
Phillips has tried to incor-porate more of freshman De-marco Robinson into the of-fense, and with the passinggame in dire straights, hecould be a focal point on of-fense in the team’s scrim-mage. He also mentioned thatwhile senior Gene McCaskill
continues to recover fromback and knee problems,sophomore Brian Adams,who doubles as the baseballteam's starting center fielder,would also get more reps.
Both Robinson andAdams have a wealth of ath-leticism, and if they impressThursday, could earn moreplaying time at wide receiverin the second half of the year.
Kick/punt returner: Withthe losses of Randall Cobband Derrick Locke from ayear ago, the Cats were leftwith an empty cupboard atboth return positions. So farin 2011, Sanders, Robinson,Winston Guy, Mychal Baileyand Randall Burden eachhave had at least one kickoffor punt return in a game, but
with zero return touchdownson the year and a strugglingoffense, Phillips and specialteams coordinator Greg Nordhope a change in the returngame could lead to morepoints and better field posi-tion for the offense.
Phillips said freshman de-fensive back Daylen Hall re-turned kicks in Wednesday’s
practice and would have achance to return more kicksin Thursday’s scrimmage. Healso said Robinson would getmore chances to return kicksleading up to UK's next gamein two weeks.
Following the bye, theCats will begin the back halfof their schedule, beginningwith their homecominggame on Oct. 22 againstJacksonville State and fin-ishing with five straight SECopponents. Phillips says histeam has learned from itsmistakes in the first sixgames (of which UK lost thelast four) and will now moveonto its “second season”down the stretch.
“You have to referencethings that happened in thefirst half (of the season),but we’re definitely treatingit like it’s a second season,”Phillips said. “(We’re) try-ing to put that first part ofthe season behind us. It's ahalfway point, we still got alot of ball to play.”

festivities stopped for a timeof prayer. MSA PresidentRatul Ahmed invited the non-Muslims to observe.
Along with the money be-ing raised from the fast-a-thon, Muslim Without Bor-ders also held a CANpaign.
The campus dorms wereasked to donate as many non-perishable goods as possible.
The CANpaign was a na-tionwide effort to benefit thepeople of Somalia.
The money raised will be
used by Muslims WithoutBorders in the DadaabRefugee Camp located on theborder of Kenya and Somalia.
The MSA try to have atleast one fast-a-thon a year.This was the first year thecause was for Somalia.
“Because of such little talkabout this crisis across cam-pus, it was a perfect cause forus to support,” Ahmed said.
Four times the populationof UK is starving in Somaliaalone, due to this draught,Ahmed said.
He was the first of manyspeakers throughout the night.
The speeches revolvedaround Muslims Without
Borders and the concept offasting.
The original keynotespeaker, Shafi Khan, directorof Muslims Without Borders,was unable to attend becauseof a car accident.
At press time, the detailsof the accident were un-known.
The MSA asked ChesterGrundy, the director of theMartin Luther King Jr. Cen-ter, to fill in.
“I’m glad I can embracethe idea of learning some-thing more about something Ididn’t know about.” saidMichael Williams, an ac-counting junior.
