Blue defeatsWhite 126-104

The James Baker Hall Writer Series,presented by the Student Activities Board,is spreading its arms to incorporate a di-verse group of writers.

This week’s panel will feature a dis-cussion from four Kentucky professionals:Buck Ryan, a journalism professor; RobTheakston, assistant director of event mar-keting and student programming at UK;Laura Ungar, medical writer for TheCourier-Journal; and Marc Jennings, a UKgraduate who has worked in publishingand public relations.

“As opposed to having novelists, au-thors and poets reading their work as inpast Writer’s Series, we decided to have apanel discussion to discuss different ca-reers,” Shannon Ruhl, SAB cultural artsdirector, said.

Ryan has more than 12 years of news-paper experience, working for the NiagaraFalls Gazette, the Buffalo Evening Newsand the Chicago Tribune.

“I have written books, scripts for KETprograms and newspaper commentaries,but my favorite way to write is headlines,”said Ryan. “I even met an editor whoworked the night in 1948 when the Trib-une front-page headline infamously pro-claimed ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ for allthe world to see. I never made that kind ofmistake, but I once wrote a headline thatended up on a framed front page thattourists would see.” He won Chicago Trib-une headline contests while working as aneditor in the 1980s and 1990s.

UK fans were able to see the Cats witha more structured defense Wednesday nightduring the Blue-White scrimmage at RuppArena.

The Blue team was comprised of soph-omore Terrence Jones, freshman MichaelKidd-Gilchrist, senior Eloy Vargas, sopho-more Jarrod Polson, sophomore DoronLamb, sophomore Ryan Harrow and walk-on Brian Long. The White team was fresh-man Anthony Davis, freshman Kyle Wilt-jer, senior Darius Miller, sophomore StaceyPoole, freshman Marquis Teague, juniorTwany Beckham and another walk-on, SamMalone.

The scrimmage concluded with theBlue team on top 126-104, with sophomoreforward Terrence Jones breaking the Blue-White Scrimmage scoring record previous-ly set by former Cats Brandon Knight (37points) and Jodie Meeks (32 points).

For the full 40 minutes, Jones was ex-plosive up and down the court, driving hardinto the lane, drawing fouls, making playsand scoring points. He started off hot andkept going throughout the first half, scoring26 points in each half.

Jones was shooting perfectly from thefield until around the seven minute mark,but ended the scrimmage 24-31 shooting.

“I was just playing and just pretendingit’s practice, really,” Jones said.

Jones ended the scrimmage with 52points and 16 rebounds, but his teammatessay that’s how he plays every day in prac-tice.

“I see him do that every day in practice.He dominates,” freshman guard MarquisTeague said. “He’s a great player. He’s go-ing to help us out a lot this year.”

This backs up Calipari’s mind-set he in-stilled in Jones at the beginning of practiceswhen he told him to go in thinking of thefreshmen as good players, but not betterthan him.

Four of the freshmen scored double-digit points during the scrimmage. Kidd-Gilchrist ended the scrimmage with 21points while fellow forwards Davis andWiltjer tallied 27 points each. Teague ac-counted for 19 points for the White team.

“We (the freshmen) are finally here andwe just want to win,” Kidd-Gilchrist said.“At first it was a little cold out there, butwe got used to it and we just had fun withit.”

The freshmen started off slow in the be-ginning of the first half, but they all endedthe first half in double-digits.

The Cats showed off offensivelythroughout the game with flashy dunks andlimited defense, but this lack of defense issomething Calipari wanted to stress mostgoing into the first exhibition game of theseason.

While UK was pressing during thescrimmage, the offensive plays outnum-bered the defensive plays significanly.

The American Cancer Society Relayfor Life has been calling for UK communi-ty members to join the society and its sig-nature event.

UK’s Relay for Life Paint the CampusPurple Registration Blitz Week startedMonday and ends Friday.

“We are looking to register as manyteams as possible in the following weeks,”Bethany McClintock, UK corporate spon-sorship chair, said in an email to the Ker-nel. “The more student organizations thatwe get involved on campus, the better theevent that we can have.”

Relay for Life will take place on April21, 2012. Until that time, teams with at leasttwo people can raise money in various waysto support research studies funded by theAmerican Cancer Society.

“It gives not only students, but anyonewho is a part of the UK community, includ-ing faculty, parents and alumni, a chance tofight back against all cancers,” said AlanaBaker, UK’s American Cancer Society rep-resentative.

For 2011, it is estimated that 822,300men and 774,370 women will be diagnosedwith cancer, according to the cancer soci-ety’s website.

Currently the society funds 220 re-search studies in hopes of finding a cure toeliminate the disease, Kathryn Garrett,UK’s Relay for Life co-director, said.

“As college students, it is the least wecan do,” Garrett said. “For most of us, weoften forget how blessed and lucky we areto be healthy.”

During the Paint the Campus Purpleweek, the organization hopes to get asmany teams to join as possible.

Garrett said she wanted people toknow that the American Cancer Societynot only funds research studies, but also

Alcoholic candy has become a new trendamong youth.

Young drinkers have started to disguise thepresence of alcohol by soaking candy, such asgummy worms and gummy bears, in alcohol toget drunk.

“I think it is surprising and a little concern-ing,” said Christina Boelter, director of UK’sTranslating Research to Youth through Infor-mation Technology program.

Boelter works with middle school childrenof minority and low-income backgroundsthrough the program, which is called TRY-IT!,science curriculum.

“In class we have a lesson where we talkabout the effects of drugs and alcohol on thebrain,” Boelter said. “We do activities on theirability to function under the influence.”

Boelter said hearing about this new trendmakes her particularly worried about the kidsshe works with.

“Most of the kids who have been in ourprogram are now in high school, and I am surethat some of them probably have heard ofthis,” Boelter said.

Drew Smith, director of the Office of Sub-stance Education and Responsibility, said hecan see this trend being a problem with kids inelementary school all the way up to collegeadults.

Smith hopesto inform peo-ple about therisks that goalong with itsdesign.

“It tookeverybody bysurprise in thek n o w l e d g ec o m m u n i t yI’m involvedwith,” Smithsaid. “Myconcern is thatbringing atten-

tion will en-courage more than anything else.”

Smith said that if this trend has not alreadymade it to UK, he eventually thinks it will.

“Honestly, this is going to be a concern atevents that UK hosts,” Smith said. “Are we notgoing to let people bring gummy bears?”

Aaron Martin, a political science senior,said he is not surprised by the gummy beartrend.

“It makes sense because in my high schoolI’ve known kids that would try to beat the sys-tem,” Martin said.

Martin said that younger people may beinfluenced by those who are older than them totake part in this trend.

“With something like this, it’s easy for kidsto over do it and not really think about the reper-cussions,” Martin said.

Martin meets many freshmen through UK’sChristian Student Fellowship events and wouldurge them to think carefully about every choicethey make.

“With freshmen, I would tell them that thisis the start of the next chapter of their life andit’s easy to want to fit in,” Martin said. “With afresh start, would this be the wisest decision youcould make?”

Smith said this trend causes many issues.“It takes a lot of thought to come up with

something like this,” he said. “This could po-tentially be pretty dangerous.”

Smith said 75 percent of all incomingfreshmen drink when they come to college andstudent retention is heavily influenced by theconsumption of alcohol. He warns of the dan-gers of alcohol gummies.

“Because (gummy bears) taste good, peo-ple will eat more of them,” Smith said. “Thereis no trigger to stop.”

When he talks to people about alcohol,Smith wants them to know that it is a drug andhas chemical effects on the body.

“You will not take a drug unless you knowthe instructions: it’s use and how much to take,”Smith said. “There are no instructions to alco-hol.”

He stressed the importance of knowing al-cohol serving sizes.

“If you eat these gummy bears, you won’tknow how much of the substance you are put-ting into your body,” Smith said. “That’s wherethe danger lies.”

Having run its sequel potential into theground with three increasingly inert follow-ups, the “Shrek” franchise makes anotherbox-office grab via his comrade Puss inBoots.

Fronting a new character offered the film-makers a chance to reinvent and revitalize. In-stead, they coughed up this halfhearted hair-ball. Remember that toy where you yank astring and hear the sound of a barnyard ani-mal? “Puss in Boots” has about half as muchentertainment value.

Antonio Banderas returns as the voice ofthe feline Zorro in a tale that’s a combo plat-ter of spinoff adventure yarn and origin story.The action is set in an antique Spanish never-never land where humans and fairy tale char-acters coexist. We learn that the cat andHumpty Dumpty grew up in the same or-phanage, bonding and then breaking up whenDumpty tricked Boots into a bungled bankrobbery, setting him on his career as a dare-devil outlaw.

Now Humpty hopes to reconcile withPuss and pursue the treasure at the top of thebeanstalk. With his big oval baby face and in-nocent voice (provided by Zach Galifianakis),Humpty appears soft, but he’s ruthlessly hard-

boiled when he chooses to be. Salma Hayekplays Kitty Softpaws, a slinky cat burglarwho joins the scheme to steal the magic beansfrom Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton andAmy Sedaris).

Presented in widescreen 3-D, “Puss inBoots” is long on visual busyness, but shorton zaniness. The script’s verbal wit is nil,with racing, chasing spectacle in place ofwell-crafted gags. The most impressive mo-ment is a breathtakingly fluid flamenco-danceduel between Puss and Kitty, choreographedby Laura Gorenstein Miller, artistic directorof the L.A.-based Helios Dance Theatre, andwife of the film's director, Chris Miller(“Shrek the Third”). Unfortunately, that pas-sage comes too early in the film and nothingthat follows can match it.

Instead, the film commits the “IndianaJones 4” blunder of staging frantic scenes ofpursuit whenever the story sags, which is of-ten. The best joke the swashbuckling tomcatgoing all saucer-eyed and vulnerable to dis-able his enemies is on its third go-round bynow.

You go expecting catnip. You wind upwith kitty litter.

Manchester Street is known forits old buildings and massive ware-houses lined up side by side. Dimly-lit and silent, the street can be a littleintimidating. So it’s not surprisingthat the distillery district becomeshome to haunted houses and fash-ionable monsters around Halloweenseason.

Both Beaux Arts Fall Ball andScream Park 2011, a haunted Housecompany, have chosen ManchesterStreet to host their events for thethird year in a row.

Beaux Arts Fall Ball, an eventinfamous for norm-busting creativi-ty, will take place Saturday atBuster’s Billiards and Backroom.

This year’s Fall Ball will be fea-ture acts like Midnight Conspiracy,Amtrac, Fidel Hasflow, KymboSlyce, DJ Warren Peace, NemoAchida and Mille w/ DlaMrod.

Beaux Arts Fall Ball has becomea Halloween tradition in Lexington,raising funds for the major BeauxArts Ball in the spring, which is abig philanthropy event.

Beaux Arts Ball is organized bystudents at the UK College of De-sign every year, and has been a ma-jor spring event since 1967, accord-ing to BAB executive committeemembers, Melissa Long, HannahGompers and Emily Bottom.

Fall Ball was created to specifi-cally raise funds for the main eventin the spring, Long said.

Gompers said applications for

the charities interested in receivingdonations next year will be releasedafter Fall Ball.

“We are usually looking forsomeone in the Lexington commu-nity,” Long added. “We always tryto give back to the university as awhole, because as students, we putit on.”

Gompers said Fall Ball is specif-ically unique because it features lo-cal artists, and this year they willalso have a graffiti artist and bur-lesque dancers.

“This year we’ll have a mixturebetween rap and electronic, so hope-fully that will appeal to wide rangeof people,” Long said.

Kymbo Slyce, a local electroni-ca-dance deejay, will be spinning atthis year’s Beaux Arts Fall Ball, andhe said he anticipates a variety ofgreat artists performing along withhimself.

“Midnight Conspiracy is reallygood,” Slyce said. “Amtrac is alsogoing to be there. He’s from Ken-tucky, and I can’t wait to hear whathe has.”

Slyce studies at the LexingtonSchool for Recording Arts and willbe playing a few of his own songs.“What makes me different is that Ilike surprising people,” Slyce said.“I am a big fan of playing musicpeople haven’t heard of.”

Slyce doesn’t have anythingspecific for Saturday’s performance,he likes to feel the atmosphere dur-ing the party.

“It will be 98 percent improv,”he said. “I’ll play it by the crowd.”

It is not only the great music, theenergetic atmosphere and the funthat makes Beaux Arts fall ball sogreat, it’s also the meaning behindthe event, Slyce said.

“I think it’s a great organizationand what they’re doing with musicand the arts ... I like that all the pro-ceeds go to different charities,”Slyce said. “I am happy to be in-volved.”

Slyce said he and Warren Peace,a local hip-hop/soul deejay who willbe spinning Saturday evening, havea surprise planned for the crowdalong with hip-hop recording artistNemo Achida.

“We have something specialplanned, but that is all I can revealright now,” Slyce said.

Slyce didn’t reveal what his cos-tume for Fall Ball will be.

“I’m still not sure,” Slyce saidabout one of Fall Ball’s most eye-catching traditions. “It’ll be a sur-prise to me as much as to everyoneelse. Every year is awesome, I can’twait”

BAB committee members saidBeaux Arts is something that existsin designs schools, and is focusedtowards the costumes — and hasslowly evolved into a “rave thing.”

The costumes are still a hugepart of the event for those who at-tend. Be ready to run into somevery original, exotic costumes, Longsaid.

“As far as costumes, (guests) al-ways come out full throttle,” Longsaid.

Bottom said it is a contest of

“do-it-your-own.” “It’s not about buying costumes,

it’s about being creative with it,”Bottom said.

Long said people really feelcomfortable bringing out that hiddenego through costumes at Fall Ball.

Beaux Arts Fall Ball completesit’s third year at Buster’s Billiardsand Backroom and has not officiallydecided to move out.

Gompers said the only reasonwhy they would a consider a moveis capacity.

“Last year we were sold out bymidnight,” Gompers said.

“We are having drinks specialfrom 8 until 11 p.m.,” Long said.

Only a couple blocks from allthe local, outrageous creativity, Lex-ingtonians can find another Hal-loween event.

Screampark is Lexington’slargest haunted event, sitting at 903Manchester St.

Eddie Embry, owner of thehaunted house company, said it wasmore than a great geographic loca-tion that brought Screampark to thisbuilding.

“It was the history of the build-ing,” he said. “Other than what wedo, there were actual ghost huntersin here before.”

Embry said that the fact thatthere were investigations done in-side that warehouse adds more tothe atmosphere of the event.

UK philosophy student MatthewWard, who works at Screampark,said the haunted house is the onlyone within Fayette County bound-aries.

Ward, who plays a mime at the

haunted houses, is also a rummerand a slider.

A rummer, as described by him,is someone who is always interact-ing with the public, making sureeveryone is being entertained, orscared, as they wait in line or walkaround.

A slider wears knee pads andgloves to make sliding easier dur-ing their scares. People are not ex-pecting anything to come up fromthe ground, and these surprises arewhat make Screampark a greathaunted Halloween experience,”Ward said.

Once inside Screampark, onecan enjoy up to four different attrac-tions: Castle of Fear, Insanity, TheAbyss and the Hot Seat.

The “Castle of Fear” belongs toan evil, furious King who is knownfor locking visitors inside the cas-tle’s “Torture Chamber.”

“Insanity: Hospital for the In-sane” is a bloody maze populated bylunatic doctors and patients whowill keep people from finding theirway out.

“The Abyss” is a maze wherepeople find themselves in completedarkness. Before entering, a goodpiece of advice is not to believeeverything seen.

Finally, the “Hot Seat,” ScreamPark’s newest attraction, is a multi-motion ride designed to mimic areal execution.

“We are one of America’s besthaunts,” Embry said.

Manchester avenue might be bet-ter referred to as “Halloween Row,”as it hosts a third year of artsy thrillsand spooky chills.

Pardon theInterlude:

Coldplay still hot

For those of you wholive under a musical rockand refuse to get past thegarbage that’s filtratedthrough the sound systemsof cars throughout Lexing-ton, Coldplay’s newest al-bum, “Mylo Xyloto” wasreleased Monday.

With “Paradise” con-stantly making its way tothe radio, and Rhiannaguesting on “Princess ofChina,” it’s hard to not as-sume that the album wouldresonate as mainstream,boring and unoriginal.However, after giving theoddly-titled album anothercouple of listens, I’vecome to realize that theCD is pretty awesome.

“Paradise,” althoughtotally overplayed, isridiculously fun. Andmaybe that’s because its

got that same Coldplaycharm songs like “Yel-low” or “Fix You” have.“Paradise” has a chorusthat’s almost as catchy asan overplayed 90s song,but way less embarrassing

if you accidently sing italoud.

And as I overlookedthe bizarre Asian-technofeel of the album, I ven-tured on to the song I wasmost hesitant about,“Princess of China.” Be-yond the dramatic synthe-sized beats, Rhianna andChris Martin’s duet reallyseems to work. It keepswith the album’s consis-tency of manic pop. Andalthough the chorus is atad cheesy, the song isdefinitely saved with thelittle tidbit of the Ice-landic band Sigur Ros’s“Takk…” embedded in thesong.

“Mylo Xyloto” is funkyand high energy. The al-bum is unexpected and un-predictably enjoyable.Once again, Coldplaypacks a punch.

New sounds, same old fun

UK head coach John Cali-pari put on the full-court hypefor Terrence Jones on Tues-day, a day before the Blue-White scrimmage, by callinghim the nation’s best player.

Calipari’s words alonedidn’t prove anything. He’sbeen touting Jones’ potentialever since he stepped on cam-pus, and he only partiallylived up to it as a freshman.

It seemed possible Cali-pari was only saying it togive Jones extra motivation.

After the Blue-White

Scrimmage, it seems Calipariwas just telling it like it is.No exaggeration.

The scrimmage providedtangible evidence of whateveryone, including Calipari,has been saying: TerrenceJones is good.

Like, really good.Jones scored the first two

points of the scrimmage on ahard drive. Then he hit anoth-er shot. And his next six in arow. He finished the gamewith 52 points, a Blue-WhiteScrimmage record, and 16 re-bounds. He received a littlescoreboard-watching helpfrom Doron Lamb, who kepthim posted on how close to50 he was.

Jones said his previoushigh was 61 in seventh grade.

As for the last time he gothalf-a-hundred?

“Last year,” Jones said.How do I not remember

him dropping 50 at somepoint last season?

“I mean, not last year,”Jones quickly corrected.“Sorry. Senior year of highschool. Still think I’m a fresh-man.”

He’s not playing like he’sa freshman anymore.

Yes, his stat line needs tobe put in context. The Blueteam beat the White (butwearing gray) team 126-104.That’s a lot of points. Inflatedstats were everywhere.

Still. 52 points. Caliparihad to marvel at that, even ifit did come against a lacklus-ter defensive effort (more on

that later).His performance went be-

yond the numbers, though.Jones, who played passivelytoo often last season, showeda willingness to drive. He didso by driving relentlessly atAnthony Davis, who hasbeen called by Calipari thenation’s best shot-blocker.Jones got the better end ofthat deal frequently.

Jones’ new and improvedphysique will only be effectivewith an attacking mindset.

“He doesn’t really settleanymore,” senior guard Dar-ius Miller said. “He gets tothe rack. He knows he’s big-ger and stronger than most ofthe people he’s going to play.And quicker, too.”

Not that he can’t still

shoot on the perimeter —Jones hit the 50-point markwith four minutes left on awide-open three — but hewill live on the inside. Of his31 shots, only four were 3-pointers.

So yes, Calipari’s hypefor Jones was true.

But the rest of the game,Calipari had no hype for. Heopened his press conferencederiding the defense theteams played. Both teamsscored more than 100 pointsin what was supposed to be alegitimate scrimmage.

“If anybody watched thatand didn’t say, ‘he better startcoaching,’ you’re truly a foot-ball fan watching basketball,”Calipari said.

The game did devolve

into something that resem-bled more the Big Blue Mad-ness exhibition than a realpreseason scrimmage —which, by the way, is a weekfrom now.

“If you watched that as apickup game, you were excit-ed,” Calipari said. “Every-body’s excited because yousaw a lot of high-flying, dunk-ing, blocking, flying, tipping –that doesn’t win, though.”

Calipari didn’t like the re-bounding. He didn’t like howplayers let drivers swoop infor uncontested layups.

“I’ll go nuts if you do thatin a real game,” Calipari said.

Maybe. He would go nuts if Jones

did what he did in a realgame though, too.

Jones is no sophomore slump in team scrimmage

PAGE 4 | Thursday, October 27, 2011

UK passed one test lastSaturday when JacksonvilleState came to town — that theteam has the talent and maturi-ty to win. Now, they must passan even stiffer test this week-end when the Cats host Mis-sissippi State — that the teamcan take it up another leveland win in the difficult SEC.

UK is currently 0-3 inconference, being outscoredin those three games againstFlorida, No. 1 LSU and No.13 South Carolina by a com-bined 137-20.

Mississippi State, likeUK, is winless in confer-ence to this point in the sea-son and desperate to get awin following its bye week.Unlike UK, however, Mis-sissippi State has faltered inthe SEC despite playing rel-atively competitive football.

The No. 24 team in thepreseason Associated Presspoll has not lost by morethan 14 points in any of itsfour conference games,holding LSU to just 19points and allowing just 14points to South Carolina ina 14-12 loss before the bye

without starting quarterbackChris Relf.

“They did a good job stop-ping the run against (LSU)and didn’t allow big plays,“UK head coach Joker Phillipssaid. “LSU, if you look, itstopped everybody. It wasn’tjust us. They have done agood job on defense of stop-ping a lot of teams and LSUdidn’t give up any big plays,which we have to do this weekto keep the game in hand.“

The strength of the Mis-sissippi State offense is itsrushing attack with quarter-back Chris Relf under centerand tailback Vic Ballard inthe backfield. In RickMinter’s 3-3-5 defense, UK

will likely bring a lot of dif-ferent looks up front andswarm to the ball in order toslow the run game down.

“You can’t give up bigplays,“ Phillips said. “Theyare going to run the ball andthey are going to try to runthe ball at you, and we haveseen that in the past, whatthey want to do against usis run more downhill stuff.That’s been our game. Wehave been pretty good,when teams try to rundownhill at us, the thingthat we have had to strugglewith is when people try toget out in space.“

The key to that defen-sive front will be seniorlinebackers Danny Tre-vathan, Winston Guy andRonnie Sneed to roam fromsideline to sideline and toattack ball-carriers in space.Guy and Trevathan are 1-2in total tackles among allSEC defensive players, andTrevathan is the reigning to-tal tackles leader from 2010.

Up front, it will be the re-sponsibility of a number ofdefensive linemen to slowdown the physical, downhillrunning style of Ballard.

“I think what’s helped us

is getting Cobble and (Donte)Rumph, and now you’restarting to see, we are sprin-kling in Christian Coleman,who is getting, playing about25 snaps a game,“ Phillipssaid. “(Mike) Douglas isplaying well for us, also.“

“I’m just trying to do myjob every week, just trying tocontinue to get better everyweek,“ Rumph added. “(Mis-sissippi State is) a great phys-ical team. They’re coming off

an open date so they’re goingto be prepared, we just haveto prepare this week.“

If UK can slow downMSU’s rushing attack, it isthen critical the Cats establisha similar run game to the onethey put on the field againstJacksonville State. Eitherway, it looks as though thismatchup between two teamswinless in the SEC could bewon up front.

“We know they are a very

physical ball-team, sophomorerunning back Jonathan Georgesaid. “They are a very goodball-team. We treat every teamthe same, every team is good.“

“Our philosophy aroundhere has been throw it to runit (throw the ball to set up therun) and recently it’s startingto go to run it to throw it,“Phillips said. “I would like toget back to throw it to run it,okay, but have to feel com-fortable with that.“

The sports field can bea special place for athletes.Most people have justthese four years to makememories they will keepforever.

For UK women’s soc-cer player Jenna Goblirsch,those memories aren’t ex-

actly what she had envi-sioned.

Goblirsch has decided toforgo her final season of el-igibility after knee injurieskept her from playing partof her junior and her entiresenior year.

After recovering from aknee injury midway throughher junior year, Goblirschseemed poised to play a key

leadership role this season,but she injured her otherknee in the first trainingsession of preseason, keep-ing her out for the rest ofthe year.

“It was an incrediblytough transition,” Goblirschsaid. “I went from playingevery minute for 18 years tonot being able to play at all.The biggest challenge was

not being able to be out therewith my teammates, doingsomething I had worked mywhole life towards.”

Goblirsch started everygame of her freshman andsophomore seasons. She tal-lied six career goals, fiveassists and two game-win-ning goals, including a goalto upset No. 15 VirginiaTech.

“She was a captain andplayed a big leadership po-sition,” UK head coach Jon

Lipsitz said. “It was diffi-cult losing her, but at thesame time we knew we hadto move on and try to pro-ceed with what we had.”

Last Sunday she washonored on Senior Day withher first start of the season.After making the initialtouch at kick-off, she wasthen substituted out to astanding ovation.

“It’s very difficult for aplayer to realize that this isit for me,” Lipsitz said.

“So I came up with the sen-ior day ceremony a fewweeks ago. I asked Jenna ifit was something she wouldwant to do and she was allfor it.”

“It was very emotionalday, knowing that was theend of my soccer career,”Goblirsch said, “but, Ican’t thank the coaches andplayers enough for that. Itmeant so much to me that Iwas able to start my finalgame.”

Senior ends career in honorable fashion

This letter is a response to a Oct. 26 arti-cle titled “Capilouto announces dorm plan.”

As a senior preparing to graduate inspring 2012, I’m ecstatic about the $30 mil-lion plan to renovate campus, even though Iprobably won’t have the opportunity to baskin the state-of-the-art additions that will bemade.

I truly believe and agree with the decisionto build new dorms because my junior year Iwas forced to search for housing arrange-ments off campus due to the overflow of theincoming freshman class, as they were madepriority to house first.

Though I consider the building of newdorms “good news,” the location for the newdorms needs to be reconsidered. The Kernelsaid Wednesday that one dorm will cater toHonors Program students and “will be builton the sports field next to Haggin Hall.”

The sports field by Haggin Hall is indeeda large, grassy, open area, but it’s in no way avacant space that should be used for buildinga dorm upon. The Haggin sports field is inthe middle of campus and it’s an ideal loca-tion for students who live on campus to gath-er and play recreational sports or have otherextracurricular activities.

The only other large, grassy, open area toplay recreational sports or to have other

events at is the Johnson Center field, which ison South Campus. That’s not a convenientwalking distance for a student who lives in adorm on the north side of campus.

I’m outraged that President Capilouto andthe Board of Trustees would even considerbuilding a dorm on Haggin sports field.There’s enough concrete and mortar on cam-pus; don’t deplete one of the only large,grassy, open spaces that is left to the studentsto run free upon.

There has to be other location options tobuild new dorms. For instance, the old AlphaGamma Rho fraternity house is sitting vacant.Why not tear that down and build a new dor-mitory there? Or wait, would that be consid-

ered off-campus or violate some kind of con-tract?

I no longer live in the dorms and verysoon I will no longer be a student at UK, butI want to make sure when I leave this univer-sity that students living on campus have thesame opportunities that I had when I lived oncampus.

Meaning, I hope they will be able to en-joy the same freedom to run around in thesame field, behind the same dorm, as I did,which most students currently like to refer toas “Haggin Hell.”
