Before having ever played adown in Division I football, jun-ior safety Mychal Bailey wasalready an Internet sensation.
Bailey is just one of manyCats in recent years to make hisway to campus via LaGrange(Ga.) High School. During a gamein his senior year of high school,Bailey won a bet against formerhigh school teammate and currentUK teammate Qua Huzzie for thehardest hit down the field.
The result of the bet was the“LaGrange Hard Hits” YouTube
video—one with more than53,000 views—that shows Baileydelivering a literally spleen-rup-turing hit to an opposing player.
“I saw the dude running andtrying to tackle my guy, so rightwhen I saw him, I ran full-speedto try and make a big hit andthat’s what I ended up doing,”Bailey said of the video that hashelped solidify his reputation as ahard-hitter. “I didn’t realize itwas going to be that big of a hit.”
Having originally signedwith UK in 2007, Bailey hasspent the past two years at

When the last notebookhas been closed for the schoolday, UK students look for-ward to what campus andLexington nightlife have tooffer. But, an obstacle greetseager socialites on- and off-campus—a lack of safe, reli-able transportation. There ishope in sight
The UK Student Govern-
ment is planning a late-nightdriving service aimed at pro-viding on- and off-campusstudents free, safe transporta-tion to and from downtownLexington and UK campuslocations, said Max Stefka,SG deputy chief of staff andfinance and marketing senior.
Four routes will run frommajor off-campus housingsites in the area as well as theNorth and South Campusneighborhoods on UK’s cam-
pus from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.Thursday through Saturdayevening, Stefka said.
The routes will be serv-iced by 17-passenger cutawayvans, which are small enoughto navigate neighborhoodstreets and turn tight corners,Stefka said. The vans willstop at each location in 20-minute intervals. The vehiclesare also handicap accessible.
Currently, late-night stu-dent transportation is limited
to cab services, rides fromfriends or on-campus onlyservice from Parking andTransportation Services, Stef-ka said. He added that all butone of UK’s benchmark insti-tutions offer a similar service,including schools like AuburnUniversity, University ofFlorida and Louisiana StateUniversity.
This service will offerstudents many benefits in-cluding safety, SG President
Ryan Smith said.“We looked at the num-
ber of safety-related incidentson campus, such as DUI andassaults,” Smith said, “andsaw this as a program thatwould reduce the number ofthose incidents because we’reoffering transportation duringhigh risk times for students attimes when DUI and assaultsincrease dramatically.”
These numbers have beenreduced at other schools with
this driving program, Smithsaid.
The University of Ken-tucky Police Department re-ported 36 assaults, 215 countsof driving under the influenceand 213 alcohol intoxicationcharges in 2008. Stefka saidthe program aims to savelives, decrease these kinds ofincidents and add a friendlyand convenient service all

UK students can learn about fire safetyevery Wednesday in September during eventsheld as a part of Campus Fire Safety Month.
The events will include a fire engine, fireextinguisher training, a smoke tent, emergencymanagement information, a canopy with free t-shirts and a memorial display. This weeklygathering will give the Lexington Fire Depart-ment an opportunity to connect with the stu-dents in a relaxed and engaging environment.
According to the UK Office of Fire Mar-shal schedule, events will be held from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m. staring at the New North residencehall Wednesday. Later events will be at theCommons Complex on Sept. 8, the MainBuilding on Sept. 15, the Good SamaritanHospital on Sept. 22 and the Chandler Hospitalon Sept. 29.
“College fire officials throughout the statestrive every day to educate our students, facultyand staff about the dangers of a fire situation andfire prevention,” UK Fire Marshal GregWilliamson said. “Campus Fire Safety Monthgives every fire official the forum in which tospread the message of ‘Get Out and Stay Alive’.”
Justin Palmer, a sophomore English majorand resident adviser in Holmes Hall, echoedthe importance of fire safety,
“Fire safety means saving lives,” Palmersaid, “The lives of my residents are very im-portant to me.”
Holmes Hall has already handled an evac-uation this year, when the fire alarm soundedon move-in day for underclassmen.
Mechanical engineering sophomore BenHorn said students should take fire safety seri-ously.
“This is a great learning opportunity andyou get a free t-shirt,” Williamson said. “Wehope everyone comes out and uses the toolswe have available.”

new regime: uk football’s first season under joker phillips
check out friday’s pigskin preview
Southwest MississippiCommunity College in aneffort to become academicallyeligible. Bailey passed hissummer classes and sincethen, he has been impressingcoaches and teammates formore than just his big hits.
Bailey was rewarded forhis efforts during fall campwhen UK head coach JokerPhillips released the team depthchart Monday and his namewas atop the list of free safeties.
In practice, Phillips hasused Bailey as a kickoff andpunt returner, a role he rel-ished in both his high schooland junior college days. He iscurrently listed as the backuppunt returner.
Phillips said he expectsBailey to play all the time onspecial teams coverage.
So far, the hardest part ofthe transition from junior col-lege hasn’t been related to thephysical side of his game, butthe mental component, Baileysaid.
“The hardest part has justbeen learning all the playsbecause I’m going to go outthere and play my heart out,regardless,” said Bailey, whomemorized most of the play-book in a week-and-a-half, butsaid that “it’s still extending.”
Elsewhere in the second-
ary, junior Winston Guy is areturning starter and will slideover to strong safety followingCalvin Harrison’s graduation.
Another one of Bailey’s ex-LaGrange teammates, juniorRandall Burden, is a returningstarter at cornerback. Burdenhas assumed the role of top cor-nerback following the gradua-tion of Trevard Lindley, whilesophomore Martavius Neloms,who was pressed into duty as atrue freshman last year, will lineup opposite him as the otherstarting corner. But speedyfreshman cornerback JerrellPriester is pushing Neloms formore playing time.
“The thing about (Priester)is he's one of those guys that isnot very big, but he's veryaggressive and he runs well,”Phillips said. “He has greatvertical, which you have tohave if you're a small guy atthe corner position. He got alot of reps when some of ourolder corners were down…He'll be an impact before thisyear is over also.”
As nice it may be to have apotential shutdown corner,Phillips has stated the key tonot only a successful second-ary, but a successful defense.
“I keep harping, the differ-ence between an average and agreat defense is a safety spot,and we know Mychal Baileyis a great tackler,” Phillipssaid. “He's one of thoseYouTube heroes that knowshow to run into people.”

New Dancing with the Stars Cast

Horoscope
LOS ANGELES It didn't seem pos-sible that "Dancing With the Stars"could outdo itself in the castingdepartment. After last season's win-ning combination of Kate Gosselin,Shannen Doherty and Pamela Ander-son, senior producer and head of cast-ing Deena Katz decided she had twochoices: retire or up her game.
Katz opted to challenge herselfand wound up with a Season 11 castthat is bound to get the whole countryon its feet.
Seriously, Mike "The Situation"Sorrentino ("Jersey Shore") is going tocha cha cha and compete againstsinger Michael Bolton, Kyle Massey("Cory in the House"), recently retiredNFL quarterback Kurt Warner, retiredbasketball player Rick Fox and DavidHasselhoff?
The women competing for thecoveted mirror ball trophy are: Jen-nifer Grey (yes, Baby from "DirtyDancing"), singer Brandy, "Brady
Bunch" mom Florence Henderson,comedian Margaret Cho and BristolPalin.
"It's like putting together the mostbizarre and yet entertaining kind ofdinner party," Katz said of the castingprocess. "I make a jigsaw puzzle ofincluding something for everybody."
This cast, said Katz, is her "dreamteam." Since the show launched in2005, she said she's been "stalking"Hasselhoff and Grey to be a part of itevery season. But they both had priorcommitments and reservations aboutjoining.
"It takes a big leap to do the show,and I get that people have fear andthey have commitments," Katz said."What you don't realize is thatbesides the 10 weeks of the show,there are three or four weeks ofrehearsal time.”
Although the entire cast is madeup of people that Katz said sheapproached, these days producers are
bombarded with requests from inter-ested celebrities. It wasn't alwaysthat way.
"Calling people before we were onthe air in Season 1 and saying, 'We'regoing to do a live ballroom danceshow with celebrities,' you could hearthe clicks of the phone," Katz said.
Now, people are more open to it,even those Katz thought were long-shots, like Sarah Palin's 19-year-olddaughter, Bristol.
"You ask and you never know,"she said. "I can tell you this, she's theonly one that when I asked her to jointhe show, she packed up her truckand drove all the way from Alaska. Ialways try to have people you'd neverexpect ... And this season, some ofthe names make you chuckle, othersyou're surprised about, and othersyou think you know, but you're goingto see them in a different light."

FROM THE FRONT
students can utilize.“Safety is the biggest issue,” biology
and pre-medicine freshman Josh Jones said. “Some places just aren’t as well-lit as
others, and I would feel a lot safer withsomeone driving me around.”
Jones said he currently walks every-where but would use this service.
“[The service] can also get you betteracquainted with the city of Lexington,”Jones said.
“It’s going to give students that live offcampus the ability to come to campus whenthey normally might not,” Smith said. “Itwill allow students the ability to get home atnight for free without having to walk homeor take a cab, or get home in an unsafe envi-ronment.”
Smith said there have been incidencesover the years where students have beenkilled or injured in similar situations, andhe hopes that this program can preventthat.
Stefka said the SGA has collaboratedwith the UK’s administration and LexTranon the project.
“It’s been a really cool experience to seethat kind of administrative support for a stu-dent-run program,” Stefka said.
LexTran provides drivers and mainte-nance for the program, but the SGA hascomplete control over the routes and stops,Smith said.
The driving service will launch Sept. 30at 9 p.m. The SGA is working on marketingthe program until then, finalizing details andgetting the word out to students, Stefka said.
“We just want to serve students the bestway we can,” Stefka said.

Sandwiched between the1976 Peach Bowl and the2009 Liberty Bowl in theglass trophy case in the lobbyof the Nutter Training Facilitysits the Governor’s Cup.
For UK’s 13 seniors,they’ve become accustomedto seeing the 110-pound tro-phy on a consistent basis.
“Yeah we got to keep thatin there, I was just looking atit the other day,” senior de-fensive end DeQuin Evanssaid. “It’d be huge for thesenior class to know that ifwe beat them they can go onthe rest their lives saying,
‘We never lost toLouisville.’”
UK is trying to retain theGovernor’s Cup for the fourthconsecutive year for the firsttime in the modern history ofthe rivalry, which resumed in1994. U of L had a streak offour straight victories from2003-2006, the span of Bob-by Petrino’s reign as headcoach of the Cardinals.
“I go look at it every day;It’s right there, nice and shiny,”said fifth-year senior defensivetackle Ricky Lumpkin, whodidn’t see the field during U ofL’s 59-28 win in 2006 becausehe was redshirting.
“I’d love to have it there
for the next couple of yearseven when I’m gone, it’s apride thing because you comehere for that game…youdon’t come here to see ablank, empty spot. You canhave all the bowl trophies,but this is the first game ofthe season, this is our big ri-valry, you beat them and youhave bragging rights.”
For one UK senior, a winat Papa John’s Stadium onSaturday would make evenmore Governor’s Cup history.
Mike Hartline is aimingto become the first quarter-back to win three games as astarter in the modern historyof this rivalry. He is already
in elite company, as onlythree other starting quarter-backs in the modern historyof the series have undefeatedrecords; UK’s Tim Couchwas 2-0 while former Cardi-nals Stefan LeFors and JasonPayne were 2-0 and 1-0, re-spectively.
Hartline said that the per-sonal record would only mat-ter after the game, but that hisprior experience starting onthe road in this rivalry shouldserve him well.

The UK men’s soccerteam has its eyes on the prize.
After finishing a series ofpreseason exhibition matches,UK moves toward the regularseason with their eyes set ona Conference USA champi-onship and a bid at the na-tional championship.
Solid overall performanc-es in all three of the exhibi-tion games leave the teamwith anticipation for the up-coming season. But the Catswill need to have on-fieldleadership from the veteranguys to step up and help outalong the ride.
“The fans are definitelygoing to enjoy watching thisgroup of athletes,” UK headcoach Ian Collins said. “They
have been working hard allsummer and it will show hisseason. They have a real be-lief in their ability. I like whatwe have here.”

A common way to meet newpeople on campus is to get in-volved. On Thursday, Sept. 2the Student Activities Board ishosting an event titled “Mr. andMs. Eligible.”
“My friends were asking mewhat the best way to meet guysin college is and I watch “TheBachelor” so I was thinking itwould be funny to play off that
show. That’s how I thought of theidea,” SAB Director of Pop Cul-ture Chelsea Melchor said.
“Mr. and Ms. Eligible” isloosely based off of MTV’s “Sin-gled Out.” Melchor said therewas an event similar to this in thepast but it was not hosted by theSAB and it was not set up thisway.
There will be one bachelorand 15 girls in a dating pool. Thegirls cannot see the bachelor and
likewise, the guy cannot see thegirls. The contestants will beasked time-tested compatibilityquestions. Girls will be eliminat-ed throughout three rounds.
However, the bachelor doesnot have complete control overwho gets eliminated given thathe cannot physically see thegirls.
“This would be a great wayfor people to get involved aroundcampus. Even if people are just
watching or participating you canmeet people from around thecommunity,” Melchor said.
Melchor is a big believer ofgetting involved on campus andin campus activities.
“Getting involved is some-thing I definitely recommend. It’sthe best way I feel you can be apart of UK. You are part ofsomething in the community andyou can grow more as a UK

I’m going toneed some of youfreshmen to flunkout of college.
Please realizethat your dreamsare foolish, yourparents will alwaysbe disappointed inyou and leave assoon as possible.It’s just that I’mfinding it terriblydifficult to findprime parkingspaces and I’m notfond of this surge inthe population oncampus. I hope youunderstand. It’s not
me, it’s you.Naturally, I’m more accustomed to the
wide-openness found in Canada. My home andnative land is the second-largest country in theworld by total area, but only boasts a popula-tion of a little more than 34 million; although asizable percentage of these 34 million Canadi-ans live fairly close to the U.S. border.
You’re probably exclaiming, “Gotcha,Canadian! This is proof that your own peopleare so infatuated with life on the other side ofthe border that they must live near it.” First,stop yelling.
Secondly, consider that just as some Amer-icans like to have a view of Russia from theirhouse, many Canadians like to have a view ofthe U.S. from their homes.
Also consider that the interior of Canada,known as the Canadian Shield, has an impres-sive supply of mineral ores embedded in theearth’s crust, but a rather dull night life. I don’tcare how many sacks of cobalt you can offersomeone, they’ll want to live close to the bor-der so they can cross it and shop at Target.
Comparatively, the U.S. population standsat about 310 million. That’s almost 10 times asmany people and thus, 10 times as many fresh-men. A bold conclusion, yes.
With fewer freshmen, there are plenty ofparking spaces available in Canada, but seeingas Canadians only travel by dogsled, thesespaces are only intended for visitors (with theproper permits).
In fact, the closest Canada has come to ex-periencing overpopulation is thanks to theCanada Goose. Although these birds bear thenamesake of Canada, they are generally re-garded as one of the lamest creatures to be as-sociated with the country. Even pigeons havemore of what freshmen call “street cred.”
In recent years, many Canada Geese havesimply migrated further south (often those withconnections to the tri-state area). RemainingCanada Geese that were deemed excessivewere hunted and served to the homeless. Cana-da Geese: It’s what’s for dinner.
Now, I’m not willing to explore the latter op-tion with freshmen. That’s obviously ridiculous.We all know that first-year college students needlots of seasoning to pass as an acceptable entree.
Even with seasoning, an au jus sauce or alight gravy would probably also be required—one mustn’t serve meat dry—but who has thetime for preparing all that after a hard day atthe office?
Rachel Ray says my meals should only take30 minutes. And I have to trust what she says!
So, I don’t care where you soon-to-be col-lege dropouts go once you leave this campus(my guess is your disappointed parents’ base-ment), as long as you don’t clog Canada.

Coming out sharp will be the Cats’ focus be-cause the implications of the season opener go be-yond bragging rights across the Bluegrass state.
The game is the first of four non-conferencegames for the Cats, who will likely be favored inall four games. Couple the soft non-conferenceschedule with a favorable Southeastern Confer-ence slate of games, and UK’s players andcoaching staff knows that taking care of businesscould lead to more trophies in the glass case.
“If either team is going to have a great year,it's important to get this one,” UK head coachJoker Phillips said. “I would say momentum isthe biggest thing that's come out of this gamehere. It's important for both teams involved thatyou leave this game with momentum to carryyou through the rest of the season; I don't thinkeither team can have a great year without thisbecause I think we both need the momentum.”

But the Cats seem to beconfident in the young Beadleas he has gotten the startingnod in all three exhibitiongames and done well holdinghis own against the competi-tion. Beadle’s success this
year between the posts will beone of the many keys to theCats upcoming season.
“Tyler is good, but wewere expecting that,” Collinssaid. “He was able to learnthe position last year. Wehave high hopes for him andexpect him to only get betterand better.”
As the conference seasonapproaches, the team beginsto understand where it is atnow as a team as well aswhere it needs to be by theend of the season to competein the conference tourna-ment.
The Cats feel good abouttheir standing at this point inthe season, but understandthat as the season continues, itis a growing process. UKhandled its competition pre-senting no major hang-ups inthe exhibition games. TheCats were able to get youngerplayers game experience as
well as allowing the veteransto get back into the swing ofthings.
“The best part of thegames were our ability to pro-vide playing time for so manyplayers,” Collins said. “Thepreseason is always aboutfinding the identities of theplayers on your team and see-ing who works well together.We obviously try to treatthose games like regular sea-son matches as much we can.I was impressed with theteam’s fitness level and com-mitment.”
Development takes time,effort and energy – it’s aprocess of months of hardwork and determination. UKand Collins appreciate thesechallenges.
“There are certainly somethings we need to work on,”he said. “But there are somesigns there that great thingscould happen.”

OPINIONS
Muslim student embraces identity, shares views on tolerance
kykernel.com
My heart and mind
know hate cannot carry
a society. Only love
can.
Intense hate and fear
is now spreading like
wildfire from coast to
coast, sparked by plans
for a Muslim communi-
ty center near Ground
Zero.
It is burning the
fences between neigh-
bors and tearing down
the very basic right of
people to have free-
dom of thought and
belief.
As a Muslim who
proudly wears a hijab,
or headcovering, I have
never been able to hide
my identity to the
world. I have never
wanted to.
I have never stayed
up at night wondering
if I will be accepted
for who I am because
I’m outwardly Muslim,
or ever doubted that I
was safe walking the
streets of my own
community.
I have experienced
love, kindness and
warmth from my fellow
neighbors and commu-
nity growing up in Lex-
ington.
The widely recog-
nized term “Islamopo-
bia” has swept the
country and is all over
news stations.
It was epitomized by
this week’s attack of a
Muslim cab driver who
suffered life-threatening
injuries after a white
passenger slashed his
neck.
It was a heinous
crime where sadly, if it
were reversed and a
Muslim slashing a
white driver’s neck,
would have brought far
more cries of outrage.
Phobias should be
about terrible people
and things, such as in-
toxicated people who
attack innocent civil-
ians.
Personally, when I
think about a phobia,
what comes to mind is
a fear of spiders,
heights or social situa-
tions. Never have I as-
sociated phobia with
ostracizing a group of
1.2 billion people in its
entirety.
Can you imagine the
phrase “Christianopho-
bia” or “Bhuddismo-
phobia?” The term at-
tached to an entire reli-
gion is absurd.
Phobias are never
based on logic but a
part of us humans that
is provoked by anxiety,
misinformation, fear
and, in this case, hate.
To me, this is the most
dangerous foe of all.
History shows what
happens when hate, not
hope, is in our hearts.
And the present news
cycle reflects hate
crimes against Mus-
lims, including vandal-
izing mosques, the or-
ganization of a “Quran
burning day” and uri-
nating on prayer rugs.
Where does it stop?
Instead of moving for-
ward with civil rights,
are we going to take gi-
ant leaps back into seg-
regation and degrada-
tion?
I am fighting this
feeling of dread that is
slowly trying to creep
its way in. I do not
want to fall victim to
the abhorrent actions
displayed by groups
across the country.
I have to have faith
just as I don’t want my
religion of Islam to be
judged by the extremist
few, I cannot judge and
condemn my fellow
Americans for the same
reason.
These are my pleas
to you: fight ignorance
with knowledge. Fight
irrationality with facts.
Fight apathy with com-
passion. Fight hate with
love.
