UK research programs,financial aid and healthcare will see changes overthe next few years because
of sequestration budgetcuts.
Congress recentlymissed its deadline to passa series of spending cutsand tax increases thatwould have otherwise
avoided the automatic se-quester cuts.
The sequester demandsfederal agencies to decreasespending by $85 billion be-fore the fiscal year ends, ac-cording to The Washington
Post.Dr. James W. Tracy,
UK’s research vice presi-dent, said the cuts will di-rectly affect the universityin major ways, and thatwith all Congress has go-
ing on right now, the se-quester was “almost in-evitable.”

Fans filled the streets wellbefore the final buzzer sounded.
Thousands of people chantedthe C-A-T-S cheer in unison asUK had just defeated intrastaterival Louisville, 69-61, sendingits men’s basketball team to thenational championship game forthe first time in 12 years.
Fans climbed on top of over-turned cars, stole street signs andset different objects on fire, in-cluding a car and couches andchairs. Beer bottles were thrownat police, who used pepper sprayto try to control the growingcrowd, but students, visitors andothers continued to flood outsideto celebrate the Cats’ win.
Not long after the game end-ed, Meghan Klyczek, an elemen-tary education junior, realizedshe had several missed callsfrom a friend.
“Meg, where are you?” herfriend asked. “Your car just gotflipped.”
Klyczek, a student at More-head State University at the time,learned that her 2008 HyundaiSonata had not survived the ri-otous atmosphere that developedon State Street after the Cats’ Fi-nal Four win over the Cardinals.
All of her car windows werebusted, and the tires were slit. Shesaid people who might not havebeen thinking clearly could haveassociated the color of her car —maroon — with Louisville red.
“You’re right, I chose the col-
or of my car based on who I rootfor,” she said, sarcastically.
Lexington, and Kentucky as astate (aside from the Louisvillefans), celebrated the Cats’ winthat earned the team a spot in thetitle game, but none of the areasgot as much attention as State andElizabeth streets and UniversityAvenue.
UK officials said later that 39fires had been reported as of mid-night after the Final Four game.
Some celebrators were ar-rested for their actions after theFinal Four game and national ti-tle game. At the time, the univer-sity said students were largelynot responsible for the riots thatoccurred.
Five out of 18 names that ap-pear in police records obtained bythe Kernel of the arrests still onfile for the night following the Fi-nal Four game can also be foundin the university directory.
(Officer Aaron Kidd, custo-
dian of the Lexington police de-partment’s records, said some ar-rests have been expunged, sothey no longer show up in de-partment searches.)
Robert Mock, vice presidentfor student affairs, said UK cannot
discuss student discipline. How-ever, if a student is arrested off-campus and UK becomes awareof his or her arrest, the universitycan determine whether the student

Next year’s UK men’sbasketball roster was already
predicted tobe an em-barrassmentof riches.Head coachJohn Cali-pari isbringing atleast six ofthe best 21high schoolseniors inthe countryto Lexing-ton in whatmany are
heralding the best recruitingclass in the history of col-lege basketball.
If any of 2012’s recruit-ing class (the No. 2 class inthe nation) return for whathas become a rare sopho-more season in Calipari’sone-and-done system, the
2013-14 roster gets evendeeper.
Willie Cauley-Stein an-nounced his return Saturday,and on Tuesday evening,lightning struck twice whenfreshman forward AlexPoythress announced he toowill return for 2013-14.
The two soon-to-be soph-omores have ensured theCats’ frontcourt will be asdeep as any in the country.
Poythress’ decision wasprobably largely due to thefailed expectations of thisyear’s team. DraftExpress.com projected him to be the17th pick in the 2013 NBADraft, but Poythress thoughthe could use another year.
“This year didn’t endlike I wanted it to,”Poythress said in a UK Ath-letics news release. “I wantto come back and do whatwe said we wanted to do
and that’s win a national ti-tle. I want to develop moreas a player and the competi-tion coming in next yearshould help me do that.”
Calipari seems behindPoythress all the way.
“Alex is a great kid witha lot of potential and I’m ex-cited to be able to work withhim next year,” Calipari said.“I believe we have onlyscratched the surface withAlex, and another season incollege will get him closer toreaching his dreams.”
Poythress averaged 11points and six rebounds pergame this season, butshowed a lot of promise af-ter scoring no less than 20points in four straight gamesearly in the season. It wasconsistency, though, that thefreshman seemed to be con-

UK students and the public areinvited to warm up to different per-spectives on climate changeThursday at the Student Center.
“We’ve tried to teach it in theclassroom setting where we presentthe facts and let the facts fend forthemselves,” said Paul Vincelli, anextension professor and provost’sdistinguished service professor of theUK Department of Plant Pathology.
“But it’s not enough to just pres-ent the facts ... we can’t ignore thescience.”
As global citizens, it’s importantto become educated on this topic,Vincelli said. Although there aresome uncertainties, climate change iswell established in the mainstreamworld of science.
“Climate Change: Values,National Security, and FreeEnterprise” will feature three main-stream scientific experts, each with adifferent viewpoint on the topic,beginning at 7 p.m.
“We have been planning thisevent since last fall,” said CarolHanley, the director of UK’s environ-mental and natural resources initia-tive.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Recently divorcedPolly (Sarah Chalke) needs to move backhome with her mom, Elaine (ElizabethPerkins), and stepfather, Max (Brad Garrett),because of financial pressures. Both parentsare, ummm, unconventional — somewhatwanton, somewhat unrestrained — which is astyle Polly thinks doesn’t exactly mesh aroundher young daughter, Natalie (Rachel Eggle-ston), who’s also moving in with gram andgramps. That can be a problem with baby-sit-ting but — Polly shrugs pragmatically —“What’s the point of living with your parentsif you’re not using them as unpaid help?”
MY SAY: Someone somewhere — obvi-ously someone somewhere inside ABC Enter-tainment headquarters — is armed and loadedwith research saying lots of young adults havemoved back in with their parents because theyare broke. And obviously there’s a sitcom tobe made out of this, and has been — thoughwith a slight twist. The “adult” in this relation-ship is mostly Polly, while the parents tend tobe the “kids” — or at least their developmentwas arrested way back in the ‘70s.
But funny? Surprisingly, yeah, for themost part. No great surprise because ABC
does a good job with its comedy development.The shows mostly look good, are well-madeand don’t offend too much. They’re (mostly)quirky, observational and ironic enough with-out pounding a bat over viewers’ heads pro-claiming that they are quirky, observationaland ironic. At the high end of the scale —“Modern Family,” “Happy Endings,” “TheMiddle,” even “The Neighbors” — they canbe very good, while even the lower end of thescale has yielded positive results (“Don’t Trustthe B— in Apt. 23,” before it became a singlenote and was axed).
Where does “How to Live With Your Par-ents” fit on this scale? Initial impression: Itfits. Fans of Chalke (“Roseanne,” “Scrubs”)will remain fans, and everyone who long agorealized that Elizabeth Perkins was the bestthing about “Weeds” will as well. And Garrett— who’s had basically one decent series runin the near-decade since “Everybody LovesRaymond” went off the air (Fox’s “’TilDeath”) — looks like he belongs in this cast aswell.

and NSF, which are federalagencies that fund researchprojects at universities,” saidDavid Blackwell, dean of theGatton College of Businessand Economics, in an emailto the Kernel.
Tracy explained that fewergrants were given out this yearin anticipation of the sequestercuts. He said that this affectsUK because most of the grantspay salaries, which affects stu-dents and hired researchers.
“We are already runningabout 8 to 9 percent behindlast year in the amount offederal grants received,” Tra-cy said. “We may lose anoth-er $5 million between nowand the end of June.”
The UK chemistry de-partment has recently begunimplementing changes.
“We are already dramati-cally reducing the size of ourincoming graduate class be-cause of the decrease in fed-eral funding support for grad-uate researchers,” said John
Anthony, UK’s Hubbard pro-fessor of chemistry. “And Iam reducing the size of myresearch staff in response tothe cuts.”
Financial aid also will beaffected by the sequester cuts.
“While the student loansthemselves have not beencut, the funds to pay for theprocessing of these loanshave been cut ... so it willcost much more to apply forstudent loans,” Anthonysaid.
Tracy explained that thedirect subsidized loan will in-crease from its current 1 per-cent to 1.05 percent.
Fortunately, Tracy said,Pell Grants will not be affect-ed this year or the next. “Butthey may be cut in the futureand it may mean some stu-dents will not be able to af-ford to go to school.”
Tracy also commented onwhat he called the “unpre-dictable effect,” which willcause a ripple effect of conse-quences. The sequester hasmade cuts to both defenseand nondefense areas, so“people who work for themilitary but are civilians will
lose up to 20 percent of theirsalary. Lots of people maynot be able to send their kidsto college next year.”
The sequester requiresMedicare payments to be re-duced by 2 percent. Tracy saidthis affects UK directly be-cause “each year of sequestra-tion, the College of Medicinewill lose around $9 millionand UK HealthCare will losearound $13.5 million.”
Tracy predicts that the se-quester will have a long-termimpact on education.
“If the sequester stays ineffect until 2021, researchwill go down by $95 billion.People will choose not to goto graduate school becausethere won’t be money to sup-port the research ... peoplewon’t choose that as a ca-reer,” he said. “There will bea gap in the country’s abilityto do research as it’s affectingtoday’s generation.”
Effects of the sequestra-tion are expected to increasewith time.
“Once the impact isseen,” Tracy said, “there willbe more political pressure forCongress to solve the issue.”

stantly chasing. Most attributed his
struggles to his mental ap-proach: a talented playerwho couldn’t yet commithimself to playing hard for40 minutes.
That could change,though, by competing everyday with elite, NBA-caliber
teammates. Given that most of the
players on next season’s ros-ter are considered potentialfirst-round draft picks, thecompetition at every positioncan only help Poythress inhis mental preparation anddrive to find consistency.
Calipari will have adeeper team than any hemay have had before. Andwith guys like Poythress,Cauley-Stein and Wiltjer,
who all now possess collegebasketball experience, hehas all the ingredients for aspecial season.
It will be an embarrass-ment of riches, yes, butCalipari has never been shyabout having NBA-caliberplayers up and down thebench. And if everythingcomes together right, itcould turn into anotherchampionship a year fromnow.

Class offers the basics on budgeting, investing
The reason most youngadults know so little about fi-nances is because most highschools do not require stu-dents to take a personal fi-nance class, according to aUS News article.
However, a poll conduct-ed by Sallie Mae in 2012found that 84 percent of highschool students want to be fi-nancially educated.
For students interested inbecoming financially literate,UK has a solution.
In fall 2013, UK will of-fer a course, FIN 250, on per-sonal investing.
Finance 250 is for anystudent who wants to gain anunderstanding of how to in-vest and the importance of in-vesting.
The class will be taughtby Paul Childs, an associateprofessor of finance andquantitative methods.
According to Childs, theclass will teach studentsabout stocks and bonds, mu-tual funds and retirement in-vesting.
The class also will coverpersonal savings accountsand various ways to increaseincome.
College students mightnot realize that the interestrate for the average savings
account is below 1 percent,according to Ally Bank.
Because of this low inter-est rate, Alice Bonaime, anassistant professor of financeand quantitative methods,recommends using a savingsaccount as an emergencyfund for unexpected expens-es.
Once a student hasenough money saved foremergencies, Bonaime sug-gests using additional moneyto start paying off debt.
Students should alwaysstart paying on the debt withthe highest interest rate,Bonaime said. For those whoare lucky enough not to havedebt, a savings account isgood for achieving short-term financial goals, likesaving up for a down pay-ment on a car.
For students who have
money saved and do not needthat money to pay bills, Bradford Jordan, chair of theDepartment of Finance andQuantitative Methods, saidopening up a Roth IRA ac-count is a good idea.
A Roth IRA account is aretirement-type account.
“The money you put ingrows tax-free forever,” Jor-dan said. “It’s the best sav-ings vehicle in the world.”
Since a Roth IRA is a re-tirement account, you don’twant to take money out onceyou put it in. However, youcan access the money in aRoth IRA without penaltiesfor a limited number of situa-tions, such as paying for aneducation.
A Roth IRA account canbe opened with as little as$250. The best place to openan account is at a mutual fund
family like Fidelity. “Once you have a Roth
IRA at a big mutual fundfamily, you’ll have access tothe entire menu of options themutual fund family offers.The best investment in a RothIRA for young people is whatis known as an index fund,”Jordan said.
Index funds are all stocks,so there is no interest.
A money market fund isanother short-term savings in-vestment option for students.Generally investments of oneyear or less, money marketfunds are high quality, liquidsecurities.
“If you have money youthink you may need at somepoint in the near future thenthat’s where you should putit,” Jordan said.
For students who want togrow their investment, CDs
(certificates of deposit) andtreasuries are sound options.The interest on these securi-ties depends on two factors:how long one is willing tolock up money and the risk.
Bonaime compared theinterest on a one-year CDversus the interest on a five-year CD. The interest on aone-year CD might payaround .45 percent while theinterest on a five-year CDcould be around 1.4 percent.
Bonds are another invest-ment vehicle, but they are as-sociated with more risk. Gov-ernment bonds carry lowerrates and lower risks. Corpo-rate bonds maintain higherrates but are more risky.
Finance 250 does nothave prerequisites.
“It is a class that everystudent needs to take,” Brad-ford said.

UK hosted the first docu-mented Light It Up Blueautism awareness event in thestate of Kentucky on Mondayas part of World Autism Aware-ness day.
The event, which saw Me-morial Hall illuminated by bluelights, was sponsored by theStudent Council for Exception-al Children, and drew morethan 100 people.
Among those speaking atthe event were Brandy Denton,the Student Council for Excep-tional Children co-president,and Dr. Amy Spriggs, the co-sponsor. Topics touched uponinclude the definition of autismand the spread of autism ac-ceptance.
“What we hope to dothrough this event is have peo-ple better educate themselves
about autism,” said Denton, aspecial education junior. “Wewant to promote autism accept-ance as well as autism aware-ness.”
“Autism awareness is a top-ic that’s very near and dear tomy heart,” said Shealynn Hall,a linguistics junior and StudentCouncil for Exceptional Chil-dren member.
“I have a sister who has As-perger syndrome (a form ofautism that affects social devel-opment, while preserving cog-nitive development) and abrother who has autism, andthis is something I’m very ex-cited to be a part of.”
Hall added that the goal ofthe event was to spread autismacceptance, which she definedas a better integration of peoplewith autism spectrum disordersinto overall society.
In addition to the lights il-luminating Memorial Hall, at-
tendees were given blue glowsticks to add to the effect.
Attendees also wore puz-zle-piece badges, which havebecome a symbol of autismawareness.
“The initial plan was to sellblue light bulbs, and the stu-dents took it and ran with it,”Spriggs said. “The fact that noone in Kentucky had done thiswas shocking.”
“Our faculty adviser told usabout Light It Up Blue, so wegot a committee together andplanned this. We’re reallyproud,” Denton said.
According to Spriggs,autism and autism spectrumdisorders affect about one inevery 50 individuals.
UK is also offering a grad-uate certificate in autism stud-ies beginning next semester.
“It’s really encouraging tosee so many people turn out forthis,” Hall said.

However, it was notenough as Bledsoe scored sixpoints and two assists as LAran out 105-91 victors.

Go Green. Recycle this Kernel.
The president of UKYoung Americans for Liber-ty, senior Austin Woods,lambasted the University ofKentucky for infringementsupon civil liberties andUK’s failure to “preserve itsstudents’ First Amendmentrights.” Woods’ essay wasfeatured in the Kernel’s“letter to the editor” sectionon March 28.
Woods’ first attack wasthat “UK has not lived upto its responsibility to pre-serve its students’ FirstAmendment rights.” How-ever, the First Amendmentstates that “Congress shallmake no law respecting anestablishment of religion, orprohibiting the free exercisethereof; or abridging thefreedom of speech, or of thepress; or the right of thepeople peaceably to assem-ble, and to petition the Gov-ernment for a redress ofgrievances.” That single
passage guarantees onlythat Congress shall neverimpose upon these prac-tices.
The First Amendmentisn’t a privilege, it’s an im-munity. The University ofKentucky has no responsi-bility to protect studentsfrom Congress, but it is re-sponsible for protecting stu-dents from each other.
Which leads to Woods’second accusation, that“codes are rife with vagueclauses, banning ‘environ-ment(s) that a reasonableperson would consider in-timidating, hostile or offen-sive.’ ” This excerpt is de-rived from the University’spolicy on discriminationand harassment, Section II,which defines harassmentas a form of discriminationwhen “the conduct is suffi-ciently severe, pervasive orpersistent to interfere withan individual’s work, aca-
demic or program participa-tion, or creates an environ-ment that a reasonable per-son would consider intimi-dating, hostile, or offen-sive.” Thus, the languageof university code thatearned a “yellow” rating ismerely designed to providestudents with a sensitiveand safe learning environ-ment.
The university’s clausesare only vague whenabridged and represented infalse context.
“It’s time for UK toatone for its sins againstcivil liberties,” Woods saidin his essay. Yet upon closeexamination, the policies in-stituted by the universityappear to do nothing morethan protect students fromracial, ethnic, political, sex-ual, physical and/or etc. dis-crimination.
Furthermore, is thereevidence that any adminis-
tration ever enforcing thesepolicies sinfully encroachedupon civil liberties?
There is a reason thatopinion pieces don’t makethe front page; they are im-mune of journalistic integri-ty. Rhetoric reigns supremeover objectivity, and themoral compass is tossedaside for misinterpretationand contextually splicedquotes.
However, I cast noshame on Austin Woods, oreven the Kernel for printinghis essay, because the re-sponsibility of preservingFirst Amendment rightsrests on society.
Educate yourself. Igno-rance is the difference be-tween people that own theestablishment and an estab-lishment that owns the peo-ple.

has violated the Code of Stu-dent Conduct. Student Affairsthen can decide how or if tomove forward.
Living on State Street Grace McKendry, a busi-
ness management junior,lives in the same house onState Street that she lived inlast year.
The atmosphere lastspring was fun, McKendrysaid, and neighbors were outall the time hanging out,sometimes throwing parties.She said police made theirpresence known in the area,and she thought they did agood job keeping residentssafe and informed about whatwas going on.
But she said she did notthink students were preparedfor what unfolded after theFinal Four game March 31.
“I don’t think anyone ex-pected Louisville night to getthat crazy,” she said. “That wasjust — that was ridiculous.”
Glass bottles added to therowdy environment, McK-endry said. She and her room-mates said someone came intotheir house bleeding becausehe had been hit in the headwith a glass bottle.
She felt nervous and un-safe, as she and her room-mates were afraid peoplemight start throwing debristhrough their windows.
It was easy to tell duringthe celebrations who was andwas not a student, McKendrysaid. The presence of somany people who do not goto UK or who do not live inthe area made the situationeven more wild.
“I think a lot of it wasthere were so many peoplewho weren’t UK students, sothey — instead of goinghome, they lingered and theywouldn’t leave,” she said.“And that’s why everythingkept going and going and go-ing.”
Police and State Streetresidents were more preparedand knew what to expect forthe night of the nationalchampionship game com-pared with the Final Fourgame, she said.
She said the night of thechampionship, April 2, three
S.W.A.T. members were sta-tioned on her lawn, whichhelped make her feel safe.
Before the game, all carshad to be removed fromknown celebration areasaround campus, includingState Street. McKendry saidthat change played a role inkeeping fans under control.
McKendry said some stu-dents decided to move awayfrom State Street after whathappened during the NCAATournament. Some peoplecontinued the party lifestyle,she said, and others’ houseswere damaged.
She decided to return be-cause she likes the housewhere she lives, and its loca-tion and price. She thoughtshe might move to UniversityAvenue next year, though, be-cause “it’s a little less crazy.”
“It can get like BourbonStreet here,” she said. “Andyou’re like, ‘It’s too much.’ ”
Joy Buchanan, an ownerof J.T.W. Properties, hashouses on State Street, in-cluding the home whereMcKendry lives.
J.T.W. Properties tries torent out to responsible stu-dents, Buchanan said, and hasrepeat customers.
The Wednesday before theFinal Four game, Buchananhad a baby, and she said “therewas no way” she could benear the properties during thecelebrations.
She said she told her ten-ants to stay inside and hunkerdown and not to let anyoneinto their homes whom theydid not know. She called hertenants the Saturday of the Fi-nal Four game and told themif anything got ridiculous, thatthey should call the police.
“I was nervous about thewhole deal,” Buchanan said.
Buchanan said she gradu-ated from UK in 1992 andstarted buying properties inthe early 1990s.
She was in Manhattanwhen the Cats won in 1996,and she could see one of herproperties on Woodland Av-enue while watching thenews following the win.
Landlords have an idea ofwhat to expect from earlierbig tournament wins.
“We know people are go-ing to congregate some-where,” she said. “We justhope that it’s not near any of
our properties.”Buchanan said she does
not understand what thedraw is to State Street.
With no bars nearby,“there’s absolutely nothingover there,” Buchanan said.
When campus turned dryDiane Lawless, Lexing-
ton’s councilwoman for the3rd District, which includes theareas where the celebrationsoccurred, said the dynamics ofthe surrounding communitieschanged when UK became adry campus in 1988.
Some areas, such as StateStreet, have many studentresidents.
She said students are go-ing to drink, but “it was muchsafer when they were drink-ing on campus.”
She worries about thesafety and sustainability of theneighborhoods where manystudents have found housing.
“Nobody should be livingin unsafe conditions,” she said.
Lawless said the actionsof the fans after the FinalFour were foreseeable.
“This was not sponta-neous,” she said. “This waswell planned.”
Couch burning has be-come a tradition of sorts forfans to celebrate UK basket-ball wins, and Lawless saidfans had been bringingcouches into the neighbor-hoods for weeks.
“It’s an absolute miraclethat someone didn’t get horri-bly injured,” she said.
Lawless said fan actionsafter the Final Four and titlegames were disappointing be-cause they took away fromthe success of the men’s bas-ketball team.
“If it’s not OK to burn acouch or defecate in the streeton campus, why is it OK to doit two blocks away in a neigh-borhood?” Lawless asked.
After the Final Fourgame, fan celebrations in theState Street area received na-tional attention, and after thetitle game, #LexingtonPo-liceScanner was trending onTwitter as people followedthe situation.
Some fans may have triedto continue the tournamentatmosphere.
According to publicrecords obtained by the Ker-nel, President Eli Capiloutoreceived a complaint in Sep-
tember from a resident wholives on Elizabeth Streetabout student behavior in theneighborhood.
“As you have observed, itis 6 a.m. on a Saturday morn-ing in the Elizabeth Streetneighborhood. Personally, Iam still sleepless as a direct re-sult of University of Kentuckystudents, who, as far as I cantell, have assumed from theNCAA State Street debacle ofMarch 2012, that our street is‘party central,’ ” the residentwrote Capilouto in an email.
A UK student had toldthe resident that her purchasewas a “poor investment,” thecomplaint read.
“Why was our purchase apoor investment?” the resi-dent questioned. “Becausethe University of Kentuckypopulation in the ElizabethStreet area was that of com-plete disregard for others liv-ing here?”
According to the records,Capilouto responded to theresident and said that heremail prompted him to visitthe neighborhood twice andthat he would visit again.
“We still have much workto do and will welcome yourinput,” Capilouto said.
Students not the problemStudent Government
President Stephen Bilas saidfor many fans, stories aboutprevious celebrations wereexaggerated.
“Through the years, sto-ries kept on getting biggerand better and altered slight-
ly,” he said. Having heard stories
about Cats championshipwins before, fans in Lexing-ton and across the state want-ed to be able to make theirown memories, Bilas said.
“That was set up to hap-pen based on the stories thatwere told,” he said.
After the Final Fourgame, 2011-12 Student Gov-ernment President MicahFielden took to Twitter to en-courage students to behave.
“Let’s not do anythingthat takes away from the bas-ketball team and their suc-cess,” Fielden tweeted.
UK and Lexington offi-cials and police were pre-pared for fan reactions, hesaid, because they “knewfrom previous championshipshow people would respond.”
Fielden was in New Or-leans for the Final Four andin Washington, D.C., duringthe national championshipgame, but he stayed up-to-date on all that was happen-ing in Lexington.
He said he was frustratedthat many people assumedstudents were responsible forthe behavior in areas such asState Street.
“UK’s campus isn’t in abubble and just becausesomeone is wearing a blueUK shirt doesn’t mean thatthey are a student,” he said.
“You can’t just call themstudents, you can call themCats fans because that’s whatthey all were.”
A second night of celebrationsThe scene after UK won
the national championship thefollowing Monday was com-paratively calmer. No carswere set on fire, and the policetook pre-emptive measures tocontrol fan celebrations.
But the night was stillraucous, with a shooting thatoccurred in front of a campusbuilding on South Limestone.
Luke Glaser, a Spanishand English senior and formerfeatures editor at the Kernel,witnessed the shooting.
Glaser had left the Kerneloffice to take over for a dif-ferent reporter who had beencovering fan celebrations onState Street after UK beatKansas, 67-59. When heneared Virginia Avenue onSouth Limestone, Glaser sawa man pull a gun and shootanother man in the leg.
The shooting was not be-lieved to be connected to theCats’ win, but it added to thechaotic feeling of the night
“I don’t think one guy gotshot because one was a UKfan and the other was aKansas fan,” Glaser said, butthe shooting was “certainlypart of the atmosphere.”
People from all overcame to town to celebrate theCats’ win, he said.
“There were just tons ofpeople in Lexington thatnight,” he said, “either be-cause they were students orjust because they wanted tobe a part of the craziness af-terward.”
