Students may have caught sightof the Divine 9 Black Greek LetterOrganizations stepping or strollingon UK’s campus before and duringevents like Stompapalooza or during“yard shows.” Stomp … clap …step... And this Friday you can catchthem at the National Pan-HellenicCouncil Step Show in Memorial Col-iseum at 7:30 p.m.
Six organizations of the NPHCwill be performing at the show.
NPHC is a coalition of the largesthistorically African-American Greekfraternities and sororities. Out of thenine NPHC organizations, six will becompeting at the step show this year:Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Al-pha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.,Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., DeltaSigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Zeta PhiBeta Sorority, Inc. and Iota Phi ThetaFraternity, Inc.
Not only is the stepshow an op-portunity for students to have a realcollege experience, but it is also agreat way to help out in the commu-nity, said NPHC President JoshRidgeway.
“The biggest importance is that itis our biggest fundraiser of the year,and our donation goes to Big Broth-
ers Big Sisters,” Ridgeway said.This year’s step show is a differ-
ent one for NPHC because this isonly the second year they have col-laborated with Student ActivitiesBoard.
“What we’re most excited aboutthis year is that we have been work-ing together with SAB, Student Gov-ernment and the Student Affairs Of-fice to make sure that we have an in-credible step show,” Ridgeway sa id.
Working together with other or-ganizations on campus has beenworking for NPHC, and it’s helpedthem build a community at UK andin Lexington, Ridgeway said.
“We are excited that the campusis becoming more aware of it, andwe’re starting to get more people in-
volved,” he said. Ridgeway said the idea of work-
ing with SAB came from both sides,and the partnership promises a suc-cessful step show on Friday.
“People can expecta whole lot of ex-citement, strollingand stepping,”he said.
Ridge-way guar-a n t e e dthat stu-dents willleave MemorialColiseum that night wanting to comeback for more step b-----cause of theexcitement and enthusiasm given off

Bias responseteam formed
A Bias Incident ResponseTeam was formed by Presi-dent Eli Capilouto and an-nounced Wednesday morning.
The team was created topromote an equal environ-ment for all ranges of diversi-ty.
With the help of nine or-ganizations, students will beable to fight against “hate andnegative bias in the campuscommunity,” Capilouto saidin an email to students.
“The team will help newstudents feel more comfort-able and feel less of a gap be-tween race and religion,” saidBethany Wurl, freshmanequine management major. “Itwill make students moreaware of the culture and di-versity of campus.”
Capilouto stresses thateach individual do their partto make the community awarethat hate is not okay.
“We encourage each per-son in the UK community topledge to do his/her part on adaily basis to help protect andnurture our community,”Capilouto said.
Last week, a hate flyerwas left outside the Center forAcademic Resources and En-richment Services building.UK Police are now investigat-
ing the incident.Last year, CARES helped
more than 1,200 studentsgraduate andretain theirGPAs.
This isthe first actfor the re-sponse teamand they willcontinue toeffect ivelyhelp the un-
derrepresented students.“It’s awful that people are
still so prejudice against peo-ple because of their back-ground in this day and age,”said Melissa Copeland, soph-omore in undergraduate stud-ies. “Hopefully the protocolthe BIRT is going to publishwill actually help get rid ofnegative bias and help stu-dents accept diversity.”
BIRT will carry the motto“If you see something, saysomething!” throughout itscampaign and will grow asstudents become aware anddetermined to join.
Capilouto said this team isimportant and hopes that eachstudent senses the urgency oftheir efforts.
“An affront to one groupor one person in our communi-ty should be understood as anaffront to us all,” Capiloutosaid.

A rose by anyother name
The romantic play“Romeo and Juliet” is mostlyknown for its tendency to ex-aggerate teenage love. Twocontrasting elements of thefine arts came togetherWednesday at the RoundTable to discuss their take onthe love story.
The UK Department ofTheatre will be producingShakespeare’s “Romeo andJuliet” in December, althoughby no means is it the classicversion. UK Opera’s “Romeoet Juliette,” a sung version ofthe romantic tragedy, opensnext week.
The operatic version,“Romeo et Juliette,” focuseson the romantic, traditionalversion that William Shake-speare is known for.
The play “Romeo andJuliet” will take the side ofthe Shakespeare play com-monly known and reverse it,giving a version that is notlooked at as often.
“The play will be ripewith tension, with threat,”Andrew Kimbrough, directorof Romeo and Juliet, said.
The play will have a fo-cus on the violence.
“It’s two houses at war,”
Tony Hardin, the play’s setdesigner, said. “There’s afrostiness to it.”
The opera Romeo et Juli-ette will be more similar tothe Shakespearian version.
“The tragedy certainlybuilds,” Stephanie Sundine,director of Romeo et Juliette,said.
Throughout the hour ofquestions, answers and dis-cussion, the panel examinedset, lighting, inspiration, char-acters and costumes.
“The costumes are verymodern European,” Hardinsaid.
“It is very traditional Ren-aissance clothes with beautifulcolors and designs,” RichardKagey, the set designer forRomeo et Juliette, said,
The play has “texture,” a“looming quality” and a“sense of danger,” Hardin said.

The “Egyptian Youth inUrban and Virtual Spaces”series continues Friday witha focus on the anthropologi-cal perspective of the massmedia and Middle Easternyouth.
“Who are these people?And what comes before theuprising? The three lectur-ers (this year) are respond-ing to these questions,” saidKristin Monroe, assistantprofessor in the departmentof anthropology and seriesorganizer.
Peterson, an anthropolo-gist and former journalist,will discuss anthropologicaland communications topics,including his research inglobalization, transnational-ism and the mass media.
“It is a growing concernand body of interest,”Monroe said. “More andmore students are gettinginterested. It is a burgeoningfield.”
Peterson, a professor inthe department of anthro-
pology at Miami University,was formerly a world politi-cal reporter in Washington.
Peterson will give stu-dents the opportunity to seethe “very latest research andhave contact with anthro-pologists outside of UK,”said Diane King, an anthro-pology professor. “Youth inthe Middle East are makingtheir voices heard in a newway; making a tremendousimpact on their societies.”
Peterson will talk aboutthe importance of socialmedia.
“People should come tohear about youth in a dif-ferent cultural context,”said Karen Rignall, a grad-uate anthropology student.“It gives a sense of what ishappening in another partof the world.”
Peterson will also dis-cuss his new book, “Con-nected in Cairo: Growingup Cosmopolitan in theModern Middle East.”
The lecture will takeplace Friday at 4 p.m. inroom 230 of the StudentCenter.

Discusses spread of mass mediab y
all the different organizationsthat will be performing.
James Frazier, a pharma-cy student at UK who is alsoa member of Omega Psi PhiFraternity, Inc., said his or-ganization will be bringingsomething different to theshow.
“We actually do some-thing called hopping.” Fraziersaid.
Hopping is different fromstepping, but Omega Psi Phiis rumored to have been re-sponsible for implementingboth forms into the BlackGreek Letter Organizations.In hopping, members jumpinto the air to execute the mo-tions, which include spinningand even the splits. It is a tra-dition that has been a part ofOmega Psi Phi since the1950s, Frazier said.
“With stepping, themovements are grounded forthe most part,” Frazier said.“Hopping is basically put-ting the claps, the kicks anddifferent motions … in theair.”
Harris said staying up inthe air is more intense.“There are times we are com-pletely airborne,” he said.
Because hopping is so
challenging and intensivewith all the jumping, OmegaPsi Phi needs to dedicate a lotof time for practice. Practicesfor Omega Psi Phi start asearly as summer and includeintensive conditioning, Fra-zier said.
“It’s almost like practicein football, basketball or othersports where you have to getin condition first, before youdo any of the actual play,” hesaid.
As the day of perform-ance approaches and the ex-citement and expectations in-crease, so does the amount ofhours Omega Psi Phi has topractice.
“The week before theshow we practice every day,sometimes twice a day, tomake sure we are as preciseas possible,” Frazier said.
Other organizations willbe contributing to the showwith their distinct traditionsand themes. Frazier said he isexcited about the diversity,and anticipates this year’sshow to be very creative.
“Everybody has their ownunique thing that they do,” hesaid. “It’s fun. It’s exciting tosee how they do it. Some ofthem have video, some ofthem have sound bytes, cos-tumes and props.”
This year’s homecomingtheme is Cats Set Sail, andFrazier said each organization
will incorporate that themeinto their traditional perform-ances.
As far as Omega Psi Phi,Frazier didn’t reveal muchabout their performance onFriday evening, but gives thecrowd a little taste.
“We are definitely goingto hop,” he said. “We are go-ing to incorporate some newthings, just trying to spice itup a little bit and keep the en-ergy pumped up.”
All organizations havebeen putting not only theirphysical efforts into thepreparation for the show, butalso their hearts, their pas-sion for competing, perform-ing and, most of all, step-ping.
Kristen Payne-Stikes, stepmaster of the UK chapter ofAlpha Kappa Alpha, said step-ping is just as important to herorganization as a whole as it isto her personally. “Stepping issomething that unifies our or-ganization,” she said.
Stepping is both a hobbyand a passion for Payne-Stikes; but competing is whatchallenges her with all thelong practices, sweaty clothesand the stress of balancingschool, a life off campus andstepping.
“There are times youdon’t want to practice, butonce you win you know yourhard work has paid off.”
Payne-Stikes said. Payne-Stikes said some-
times practices will last lateinto the night and, as stu-dents, they really have tolearn how to prioritize.
She said discipline is oneof the most important thingsyou have to have as part of astepping chapter, but AlphaKappa Alpha transforms thatserious discipline and toughpractice into a sassy, feminineperformance.
“Our thing is about beingpretty, very precise and stillenergetic,” Payne-Stikes said.That is what their traditioncalls for and that’s what theAlpha Kappa Alpha girls willbe bringing onto the floorFriday night, she said.
Payne-Stikes describes inone simple sentence whatmost students performing atthe Step Show are feeling.
“I am so excited for Fri-day,” she said.
Ridgeway believes a truecollege experience is notcomplete until you attend astep show. “I think this issomething every college stu-dent should go to at least oncebefore they graduate,” shesaid.
Tickets are $10 with avalid student ID or $12 forgeneral public in advance,available at the Student Cen-ter Ticket Office or on ticket-master.com.

UK formscoalition to stop hate
kernel editorial
President Eli Capilouto announcedthe creation of a Bias Intervention Re-sponse Team on Wednesday. The BIRT,comprised of several campus organiza-tions, will soon be publishing a protocolof the procedures to take when confront-ed with a negative bias situation.
The creation of BIRT is a welcomeremedy to a problem inflicted upon UK’scampus. Last year, for instance, a hatesign directed toward President Obamawas posted in front of the UK LawSchool.
BIRT was created in response to an-other hate letter posted recently, this timeoutside the Center for Academic Re-sources and Enrichment Services.
Diversity is widespread on this cam-pus — reflected by the numerous organi-zations joining to create BIRT. We comefrom different racial, ethnic, economicand geographic backgrounds.
UK offers students a unique educa-tion superior to any that could be learnedthrough a professor’s lecture or powerpoint presentation.
Students are able to intermix witheach other. Students are able to learnabout different cultures, activities, reli-gions, arts and more. A student who mayonce have considered himself or herselfan outsider can meet students who sharesimilar passions or beliefs. Through theseinteractions, UK educates its studentsabout the lifestyles, ideas and, ultimately,themselves.
Hate doesn’t belong in these interac-tions. Blind prejudice toward any groupor individual is an archaic reaction to dif-ferences that should enrich our lives asstudents at a large university.
While these hate groups represent thesmallest of minorities, their impact leavesa stinging mark upon the students, facul-ty and reputation of UK.
We can only hope that the BIRT’swork will not have to be used. Yet, ashas already been seen on this campus,with the flourising of diversity comes theignorantly opposed.
The Kernel fully supports the BIRTand hope its efforts will stem the flow ofsuch acrimony to make UK, in Capi-louto’s words, “safe and welcoming.”
Capilouto wants to fulfill UK’s promise;text of his investiture speech
I accept this honor with deepgratitude to a Search Committee,Board of Trustees and Universitycommunity who have bestowedupon Mary Lynne and me theprivilege of a lifetime: to serveKentucky alongside you as weprepare its sons and daughters forlives of meaning and purpose.
There are many among us whomade this day possible. It is theircommitment to the University thatis the foundation of what we dohere and in whose honor I acceptthis privilege.
They are the faculty and staffwho dazzle me each day with theirbrilliance and their devotion to ex-panding the boundaries of discov-ery. With commitment to our stu-dents and an unyielding resolve,you attack the problems that con-front our world.
They are the students whosefutures at this defining time in ournation have never been morepromising or more uncertain; yourintellect, talent and optimism in-spire me each and every day.
They are the generations ofgraduates, some 200,000 strong,who return to their communitiesas leaders — as doctors, lawyers,poets, pharmacists, educators andentrepreneurs. You are beacons ofhope for our Commonwealth andour world.
And they are the people ofKentucky, who hold in their heartsa special place for this University– their University.
They are my fellow presidentsof Kentucky's colleges and univer-sities along with members of theCouncil on Postsecondary Educa-tion. Each day, you lead with clar-ity and courage, understanding thecritical role our respective col-leges and universities play in cre-ating a path of opportunity andpromise.
They are my fellow UK Presi-dents, on whose shoulders I nowfeel so privileged to stand. With ushere today are Presidents Wething-ton and Todd, whose examples ofleadership and whose advice tome has been meaningful and in-valuable.
And they are my family — mygrandparents who came to thiscountry so that we might live the
uniquely American dream. AndMary Lynne and Emily — whosustain me with their love andsupport.
It is with much gratitude that Iaccept this honor, recognizing thatI share it with all who make thisuniversity, the University of Ken-tucky.
I stand here today, both hum-bled and emboldened by a richlegacy — the generations of stu-dents, faculty, presidents and lead-ers whose work and voices speakto me — and say one thing: Thisplace is truly remarkable.
When Mary Lynne and I wereapproached with this opportunity,we were struck by what we readabout the ambitions of the univer-sity's community and about theprogress being made. Our ascentas a university has been impres-sive and our work and efforts arerecognized throughout the countryand world.
But it was not until we actual-ly visited this place that we felt ina meaningful and lasting mannerits defining character — what Ifeel is the soul of the University ofKentucky.
And it is everywhere; in theenergetic eyes of our students, inthe dedicated tone of the voices offaculty and in the welcominghandshake and committed de-meanor of our staff.
Whether it's manifest in facul-ty from our College of Design andCenter for Applied Energy Re-search who are building energyefficient, low-cost housing toreposition Kentucky's houseboatindustry or from the extensioncenters where county agents sus-tain communities through the per-forming arts and home gardensthat provide families with afford-able food.
Whether it’s from caregiversin our healthcare facilities, whoensure that Kentuckians can wakeup and know that no matter wherethey are in the state or how serioustheir illness or condition, they canreceive the nation's best care atUK.
Or from faculty and staff rep-resenting virtually every collegeon this campus who worked tire-lessly to receive one of only 60
translational science awards in thenation so that discoveries in thelab are quickly transformed intocommunity solutions.
Whether it’s our students, whodedicate their time and talent to beambassadors of our university, beit through visual and performingarts, student government, athletics,Greek life, and faith communitiesor through more than 450 studentorganizations, all while they putacademics first.
You cannot help but be movedby this University’s unquenchablethirst for knowledge and steadfastdevotion to service.
And it is just not on this cam-pus. I have seen it in every cornerof our Commonwealth, fromPikeville to Paducah. I have heardabout it through stories sharedwith me in diners and town halls,in homes and offices and in highschool classrooms.
It is an idea not captured instatistics or in abstract narrative.The University of Kentucky is apromise — one that is manifest ineach of us.
It is a promise we have allmade to each other forged almost150 years ago in the darkest hourof our nation's history, reverberat-ing in the echoes and voices ofthose who came before us andthose who will dream long afterwe have faded.
UK is a promise understoodby President Patterson who madepersonal loans to help a fledginguniversity survive; a promise thatwas carried forward by PresidentMcVey whose planning and visionduring the throes of a Depressionhave guided our efforts and facili-ties for decades; and a promisebrought to life by President Dick-ey, who in the face of oppositionand doubt, birthed a medical cen-ter that provides community andspecialty care to millions.
UK is a promise — a covenantthat Kentuckians have made witheach other to build a shining bea-con of excellence that will lightour path forward and illuminateour efforts and progress.
UK is a promise we havemade to each other that says thatyoung Kentuckians from all walksof life, backgrounds and experi-
ences are welcome here, and thatthey leave as our best and bright-est because we foster their poten-tial and brilliance.
But what does this promisemean today? And — looking tothe future — how do we honorthat promise in times like these?
With a fierce sense of urgencywe begin to think anew and re-build this campus so we can over-come that which confronts us.
Why? Because an independentstudy of the academic core of ourcampus recommended that wetear down 12 buildings and under-take major renovations of 29buildings.
Because the vast majority ofour space is not accessible topeople with disabilities — moreso than any university in thisstate.
Because in the core of ourcampus the average age of build-ings is nearly 50 years and theyare deteriorating at rates that re-quire daily patching when thelong-term cost of rebuilding iswiser.
And because only 10 percentof students who live in our resi-dence halls live in modern hous-ing.
We have more than $1 billionin construction needs, but in themidst of great economic chal-lenge, there are opportunities.Construction costs have neverbeen more affordable and interestrates never lower or more compet-itive.
We will ask the state for helpand support, support they havelong sought to give as partners inthe promise of UK. But we alsomust find new approaches to earnour way, through greater and moreintentional philanthropy, throughinnovative partnerships that lever-age our resources, through smartgrowth of our student body andthrough internationalization of ourcampus and different modes oflearning.
There is no easy time. There isonly our time. And this is theUniversity of Kentucky’s time —because we must honor our prom-ise.

Finally, something wentright for the UK football team.
Last week, at the lowestpoint in their season, theCats entered their bye week,before taking on the rest ofthe season. The bye weekcame halfway through UK’sseason this year, with a 2-4record looming behind themand six more games inweeks ahead.
“It was nice to have achance to just sit back and re-lax for a little bit,” seniorguard Stuart Hines said. “Getaway from the stress ofpreparing for a game everyweek and just have a time toget a little work in.”
UK closed the first half ofits season on a four-game los-ing streak, including its firstloss to in-state rivalLouisville since 2006 and athree-game slide to open con-ference play that had UK sit-ting at the wrong end of a137-20 deficit.
UK head coach JokerPhillips called the bye week“open, not off,” referring tothe bye as a week for work,not vacationing. During the
week, the team got back tothe basics, focused on detailsand upped the energy at prac-tice, all things the team hopesto continue.
“There’s no question ourminds are in the right place,”Phillips said. “Our kids likeplaying. They like practic-ing.
“You’re hearing a lot ofchatter and a lot of guys hav-ing fun. So we know our kidsare having fun.”
The Cats also did somesoul-searching during their“open” week, trying to fix is-sues both on and off the fieldbefore UK resumes the sea-son.
“The thing we did, wetried to sit down with ourplayers individually and findout where their minds are,”Phillips said. “And all of ourkids for the most part; theirminds are with us. We foundout that we have got achance.
“You find out about your-self, too. I had to look into my-self and I understand, I'mready for this job. I'm fine withthat — the direction of theprogram. I think that we haveall of the right things. We justhave to get them headed in the
right direction. We are doingthe right things, though.”
The Cats relied on theirsenior leaders in the “open”week to help turn the seasonaround. The players also be-came more accountable forthemselves on the field, some-thing junior linebacker RidgeWilson thinks will improve theteam's play on the field.
“Coach Phillips, (seniorlinebacker) Danny Trevathan,Stuart (Hines), we have a lot ofthose guys, our leaders thatyou all may see as far as on thefield, those type of guys,” Wil-son said. “I feel like football isa game of individual games,and no matter what he say, nomatter what Coach Phillipssays, we all got to go out thereand take care of business.”
Now back at workpreparing for Saturday’sHomecoming game againstJacksonville State, Phillipsand his team will try and ap-ply what they gained over thebye week against their com-petition the last six weeks ofthe season.
“We have got a chance,”Phillips said. “We just have toline it up, play with confi-dence, play clean and we'll befine.”

Pardon theInterlude
“Open Mind” was thefirst song I heard fromWilco’s recently released al-bum, “The Whole Love.” Itwas delivered to me in theform of a YouTube video.Front man Jeff Tweedy per-formed alone in a dimly-litroom. Even though Tweedywas the musical guest in atelevision studio, the atmos-phere replicated that of anold hideaway coffee shop,complete with oversizedleather chairs and an abun-dance of corduroy-clad hip-sters.
The immediate sweet-ness of the guitar andTweedy’s Bob Dylan-esquevoice was paired with easeand humbleness. Whether itwas Tweedy’s lumberjackbeard or chord progressions,I was smitten.
You’d imagine my sur-prise, then, when I listenedto the album. I discoveredthat it consisted of musicthat was nowhere close toresembling the video I’msure I’ve contributed at least
231 views to.“Art of Almost” kicks
off the album with synthe-sized beats accompanied bydistortion of futuristicsounds that builds into acluster of orchestral organ-ized chaos. Tweedy’s voicerises over the hum of sound,like a leader giving ordersto an obedient army ofnoise, dictating where thesong should fall out.
“Art of Almost” sets thetone for the album. Eventhe lighter songs have thislonging distance to themthat is reminiscent ofWilco’s 2002 CD, “YankeeHotel Foxtrot.”
Either Tweedy’s stays inrehab weren’t doing thetrick or aliens abducted thedude, because this albumhas quite the Roger-Wa-ter’s-mood-while-writing-The-Wall kind of feel: pro-gressively creative with ahint of crazy. And whileI’m not saying “The WholeLove” will ever have it’sown movie or travelingconcert production thatmeasures up to a Broadwayshow, I will say it’s got thisparanoid charm of appealthat’s absolutely intriguingas hell. But then again, Iguess that’s any Wilco CDfor you.

UK arrived in Starkville last Fridayevening riding a wave of momentum. Freshoff a spectacular win over rival Tennessee, theCats ran into a highly motivated Bulldogteam.
Mississippi State won 3-0 (25-23, 25-18,25-19) over the Cats before a record crowd of4,525 at Humphrey Coliseum. The rowdy set-ting was a planned event, as the volleyballgame preceded the men’s basketball BulldogMadness festivities.
“Mississippi State did a fantastic job. Theyhad a great atmosphere,” head coach CraigSkinner said. “I don’t care if it’s basketball orvolleyball, whatever indoor sport, it was a greatenvironment and they did a really nice job. Itdefinitely motivated Mississippi State and theyplayed well.”
Mississippi State had 40 kills for thegame, with a .239 hitting percentage. UK jun-ior libero Stephanie Klefot held firm with 16digs, but it was not enough to stop the pumpedup Bulldogs.
“I didn’t realize how many people werethere until after the game. Mississippi Statejust played better than us hands down,” Klefotsaid. “It was a big game for them, so I can seehow they may have been a little more excitedthan we were.”
Junior Ashley Frazier recorded 16 kills,which usually equals a win for the Cats. How-ever, this was the first time all year that shehad double digit kills and UK lost. The Bull-dogs held UK to a mere .141 attacking per-centage, which was a huge factor in the UKdefeat.
“Their defense played well when it neededto,” Skinner said. “They played a great match.”
To finish strong in conference play, it iscrucial for the team to take care of business onthe road and be solid defensively.
“We refocused on fundamental and defensein practice. Our preparation needs to be thesame. We have a full week to practice and pre-pare for Georgia,” Coach Skinner said. “Whenyou play on the road you have to play well de-fensively, because teams are more comfortablewith their offense in their home environment.”
The Georgia Bulldogs crowd will also beseeking an upset, but junior Stephanie Klefothas a plan for the Cats.
“We have a set goal, and that is to win theSoutheastern Conference. We are still capableof doing that. I think we need to keep that goalin mind every day,” she said. “We have a bunchof goals written on our board in the lockerroom, and I think we need to look at those andjust realize it’s not over because of one loss.”
Georgia will host the Cats on Friday, Oct.21 and then UK will visit the Auburn Tigersthat following Sunday.
