Patriotism showed its col-ors Friday on the north sideof UK's Main Building,where students, faculty andguest speakers aimed to givethe Constitution justice.

It was a day full ofbanned book readings, mockpolitical debates and voterregistration — not to mentionfree lemonade and apple pie

— all to celebrate the Consti-tution’s signing 223 yearsago, on Sept. 17, 1787.

Eighth graders fromChrist the King School andYoung Democrats and Young

Republicans from TatesCreek High School attendedthe Citizen Kentucky Forum,which UK journalism pro-fessor Buck Ryan moderat-ed.

“This program is broughtto you by the First Amend-ment,” Ryan said in the fo-rum’s introduction.

Freshmen from Ryan's“Citizen Kentucky: Journal-ism and Democracy” discov-ery seminar helped organize

the event and participated inmock debates based on candi-dates in the upcomingmidterm elections.

Guest speakers includedAl Cross, a political writerand director of the Instituteon Rural Journalism andCommunity Issues, Ken-tucky Secretary of State TreyGrayson and UK’s Collegeof Education Dean MaryJohn O’Hair.

Cross talked about the

upcoming elections, includ-ing the U.S. Senate race be-tween Jack Conway andRand Paul.

He discussed the constitu-tional questions the GroundZero Islamic community cen-ter raised, along with thethreat Florida Pastor TerryJones issued to burn theQuran. He said both issuesinvolve the First Amendment.

Grayson followed, dis-cussing his plans to get Ken-

tucky students interested inlegislature through a newgroup, the Kentucky Advo-cates for Civic Education.

“We have seen kids passlaws in Frankfort,” Graysonsaid, also noting that his fa-vorite part of his job is get-ting to work with students ofall ages.

O’Hair introduced the P-20 Civic Engagement Lab,

Tailgating usually leaves aluminum cansand other recyclables covering the lots sur-rounding Commonwealth Stadium, but onegroup is trying to change that.

Wildcats Take Out the Trash is a programformed by Tom Gregory, a worker in the recy-cling area of the Physical Plant. The programhas student volunteers who walk around mak-ing sure recyclables are collected during tail-gating before home games.

With so many fans coming out hours be-fore the game, Gregory knows a large amountof recyclable material will need collecting.

Gregory said he wanted 40 students to par-ticipate in the group but had 22 volunteer.About 17 showed up for the game againstAkron on Saturday.

Ten locations exist around the stadium,giving tailgaters numerous places to drop theirblue bags of recyclables.

“Athletics put us here,” Gregory said. “Theguys that run the stadium picked the spots theywanted us to sit at. The people that tailgatewant this spot real bad.”

Student volunteers have several perks toworking the games and collecting the trash,Gregory said. These perks include pizza fromPapa John’s and game tickets for when theyare done collecting.

Gregory hopes the program will collectmany recyclable materials from Saturday’sgame against Akron.

“Hopefully we’ll get 2,000 pounds, we got1,800 last week,” Gregory said. “We’re gettinga little better at it as we go.”

After most tailgaters head in to see kickoff,Gregory’s crew is finishing up, collecting theblue bags that parking attendants and Grego-ry’s crew handed out to tailgaters.

“We have to go around and get it,” he said.“We start picking up the cans right after kick-off, because most people have gone in.”

Kerachel Rieger, a dietetics junior, saidmost of the collected material is from the crewgoing around and collecting, but some is fromtailgaters bringing it to locations.

“Mostly it’s that we pass out the bags andthen we go back and pick them up,” Rieger

UK issued an updated alert system atthe beginning of the school year, andnow it will check how effective the sys-tem is.

UK Alert will test its emergency no-tification system Tuesday at 12:15 p.m.All students, faculty and staff will re-ceive an e-mail to their official UK ac-count, and a text or voice message willgo to all registered phones.

Therese Smith, Office of EmergencyManagement specialist, said these testswill occur semesterly, and the law re-quires this.

The test also comes because of thesystem’s new vendor, Rave Mobile Safe-ty. The first use of the updated systemoccurred last Tuesday when a student re-

ported an armed robbery.Office of Emergency Management

Director Christy Giles said the test is agood time for people to make sure theircontact information is correct.

“We’ve got many, many more peoplein the system than we had with the previ-ous vendor,” she said. “We want to seehow that works.”

The Office of Emergency Manage-ment and Rave Mobile Safety will evalu-ate the results from the test and makechanges if needed.

Giles said she wants people to makesure their contact information is exactlyhow they want it.

“I encourage individuals to go theirUK account and add other means ofcommunication,” she said.

Alert system to test its effectiveness Tuesday

PHOTO BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFFTeammates celebrate with running back Derrick Locke after scoring a touchdown against Akron. Locke surpassed 2,000 career rushing yards in the game.

UK wasn’t perfect in Satur-day’s romp over Akron. Butplayers and coaches said theteam did everything it hoped itwould for the first time this sea-son, taking a final step forwardbefore its biggest test yet thisseason.

The Cats spent their finalweek before Southeastern Con-ference play begins shoring up

mistakes that had been made inthe first two weeks. UK rolled up544 yards of offense while cruis-ing to a 47-10 win over Akron,with the coaches hailing the vic-tory as the Cats’ first “60-minutegame.”

Defensive coordinator SteveBrown said he lost sleep after hisunit gave up 28 points to West-ern Kentucky last week but ac-knowledged that the team took astep forward against Akron. Zipsquarterback Patrick Nicely went

4-for-19 for 57 yards, and fivedifferent UK defenders regis-tered a sack on him. After aweek of chatter about UK’s de-fensive shortcomings, juniorlinebacker Danny Trevathan hadplenty of motivation.

“Going into this game, I feellike the defense had a point toprove,” Trevathan said. “The runcan be stopped, and by God, it’sgoing to be stopped.”

Akron gained 22 rushingyards on 29 carries.

The offense did just as well,as most of UK’s arsenal made

significant contributions. Seniorquarterback Mike Hartlinecruised while completing 21 of29 passes for 250 yards and twotouchdowns, and senior tailbackDerrick Locke rushed 17 timesfor a career-high 166 yards andtwo scores. Junior receiver Ran-dall Cobb had five catches for 43yards and a touchdown, and sen-ior receiver Chris Matthews hadhis second touchdown receptionof the season.

M. Night Shyamalan indulges his mes-sianic side with “Devil,” a quasi-religious su-pernatural thriller he has released under TheNight Chronicles production banner. It's atidy tale about the Devil picking off folkstrapped in an elevator in a Philadelphia high-rise while cops and security guards look on,in horror, through closed-circuit TV.

“Devil” is the sort of story Rod Serlingwould have taken for a spin in “The TwilightZone,” back in the day. Shyamalan came upwith the idea, produced it and got others toscript and direct this 76-minute exercise inmovie minimalism. Our superstitious narra-tor regales us with memories of “stories mymom used to tell,” tales about how “the Dev-il roams the Earth.” And a sure sign Satan isabout to torment the doomed before theymake it to Hell is a suicide. Thus, that joltwhen somebody plunges through a top floorwindow clutching a Rosary sets us up for theelevator that won't elevate.

Five are trapped: a rude and abrasivesalesman (Geoffrey Arend), a looker (BojanaNovakovic), a sweaty security guard (Bo-keem Woodbine), a testy older woman (Jen-ny O'Hara) and a mysterious young man in ahoodie (Logan Marshall-Green). They'reirked but not to worry, the head of security(Matt Craven) says over the PA system.They'll be out before the panic attacks start.But they aren't, and the cop (Chris Messinaof “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”) sent to inves-tigate the suicide is on a new case, looking inon a body somebody killed during one of themany moments when the lights blink out andthe pounding sounds of a basketball in a dry-er emerge from the closed compartment.

That's when we realize the narrator is theguy with the answers a Catholic Latino secu-rity guard, Ramirez, who flirts with being astereotype.

The performances don't give us much.Everything's entirely too calm for entirelytoo long. But only when Ramirez (Jacob Var-gas) tries to explain the unexplainable bydropping his toast, jelly-side down, on thefloor, does “Devil” live down to the hilariouspromise that had audiences howling at thefilm's trailer this past summer. As the preten-tious words “From the mind of M. NightShyamalan” hit the screen, you could hearthe hoots all the way into theater lobbies. Itwas so widespread that viral videos came outmocking the idea that the fellow whose filmssince “Signs” have annoyed and dismayedhorror fans could still consider himself a“brand.”

But for all that, for all its preaching aboutguilt, redemption, punishment and salvation,“Devil” delivers its chills in a compact, effi-cient package of extreme close-ups, decent-ly-timed surprises and the terror of dread-an-ticipation. It's not great, but it's not bad, andthe fellow who foisted the “The Happening,”“Lady in the Water” and “The Last Airben-der” on the faithful would take that praiseany day. No doubt the mind of M. Night istroubled that he didn't get a directing credit(John Erick Dowdle of the taut and tense“Quarantine” did) for a movie that at leastdoesn't further devalue his brand.

Nancye McCrary, a di-rector of the lab, also ad-dressed students, encourag-ing them to make changesfor their society.

“Our democracy is be-ing remade every day, andwe need you to remake it,”she said. “We would likeyou to help engage peopleyour age in civic educa-tion.”

Before and after the fo-rum, UK’s Gaines Center forHumanities sponsoredbanned book readings to en-gage passing students.

Students and faculty readexcerpts from a number of

banned books, including Al-dous Huxley’s Brave NewWorld, Stephen Chbosky’sThe Perks of Being a Wall-flower and Thomas Mann’sBuddenbrooks (read in Ger-man).

The Gaines Center hastraditionally done an outdoorreading for six or sevenyears, director Robert Rabelsaid.

In past years, the read-ings have lasted the span ofan entire day, but the eventpartnered this year with Con-stitution Day activities tocelebrate the importance ofthe First Amendment in peo-ple’s lives, Rabel said.

“I don’t think thesebooks should be banned, be-cause they make peoplestop and think,” chemistryfreshman Vicki Herde said.“People need to thinkmore.”

Ryan said the goal ofConsitution Day was to

teach citizens about theConstitution in creativeways.

“The true test is howmuch learning occurred to-day and how much willstick, because the two key

questions I posed at the be-ginning were, ‘What is thebare minimum a citizenneeds to know and knowhow to do?’ and ‘What is thebest way to teach so that itsticks?’ ”

Gregory bought 15 recyclefeathers that are 15 feet highand cost about $200 each, butthose are not the only expen-sive thing he bought.

Many tailgaters treat theexpensive blue bags, whichcost $0.30 each, for recyclingas trash bags, Gregory said. Ifthe bag is full of non-recy-clable materials, the crewleaves it.

“I left a bunch last weekbecause it had all kinds ofspaghetti and meat sauce,”Gregory said. “I’m not doingthat.”

When the crew is finishedcollecting the bags of recycla-ble materials, members thentransport them behind Com-

UK volleyball is officiallyon the board in the Southeast-ern Conference standings.

UK (7-5, 1-1 SEC)notched its first conferencewin of the 2010 season Sun-day against the visiting SouthCarolina Gamecocks in foursets 25-20, 25-10, 21-25, 25-20. After the CATS droppedtheir SEC opener Fridaynight against the numberthree ranked Florida Gators,the Cats looked like a teamfocused and determined towin their first conferencematch of the young season.

“It was really exciting,”senior Lauren Rapp said. “Itwas a great turnaround fromFriday. I am just excited forthe team and hope to carrythis over into next weekend.”

The Cats came out strongin the first two sets of thematch, executing both offen-sively and defensively. Aftera back and forth first set, UKfocused to finish off SouthCarolina and take the set. Theplayers carried that focus intothe second set, during whichthe Gamecocks hardly chal-lenged them.

But after taking a com-manding two sets to nonelead, South Carolina re-grouped and rallied to stayalive in the match and force afourth set.

“I told (the team) that it’sgoing to be a challenge now,it’s going to be a battle,” UKhead coach Craig Skinnersaid regarding the third set.“You put South Carolina in aposition to make it a match,and you really have to refo-cus and regrind.”

And that is exactly whatthe Cats did, taking the fourth

set by force to win the match.On Friday night, the Cats

played for a crowd of morethan 2,000 hometown fans atMemorial Coliseum for theirconference opener againstFlorida. They came chargingout of the tunnel all the way

to a first set victory 25-18.But UK was unable to keepthat intensity throughout therest of the match as theGators, the perennial confer-ence favorite, pulled away towin the next three sets to takethe match.

The Cats reboundedagainst South Carolina, play-ing some of the cleanest vol-leyball they have played allyear, both offensively and de-fensively.

Sophomore StephanieKlefot led UK with 21 digs.The Cats’ front line of AnneArmes, Whitney Billings,Blaire Hiler and Lauren Rappeach notched double-digitkills for the match. One sur-prise of the match was the in-sertion of Elizabeth Kober-stein into the starting lineupas the setter. She recorded 48assists for the match as wellas a service ace in the first

set.“I made the decision to

start Elizabeth this morning,”Skinner said. “I felt like weneeded a boost offensively,and Elizabeth has been doinga nice job.”

The Cats will look tobuild off the momentum ofthe win as they hit the roadnext weekend for matchesagainst Auburn, Georgia andTennessee.

“I actually don’t mind theroad,” Skinner said. “It’s agood test, it brings the teamtogether, and they stay prettyfocused on the road. It’s justanother test for us.”

Cats roll, down Gamecocks 3-1

PHOTO BY IAN HAMILTON | STAFFThe UK volleyball team opened conference play by going 1-1 against it’s first two opponents, Florida and South Carolina, at Memorial Coliseum.

VOLLEYBALLSPLITS FIRST

SEC GAMES

Despite the fact I upset themajority of my readers (all nineof them) in my last column, Istill work here. I can’t knockout my aspiration to be themost-hated columnist in Kernelhistory in just two weeks.

Let’s move forward.I realize a coach rarely

sees a “flawless” game fromhis football team, but the lat-ter three-fourths of Saturday’sgame had to come prettyclose for UK head coach Jok-er Phillips. It is fair to say theBlue and White faithful weretaken aback after one quarterof lackadaisical play (frankly,so was I), but all the Catsneeded was time.

“Offensively, we hadbeen talking about finishingand playing fast in the secondhalf,” Phillips said. “But weneglected to start fast, like wehad been doing. It is like try-ing to patch up holes in a dam— you get one part of yourgame fixed and another holeappears somewhere else.”

UK’s defense certainly did-n’t play nicely (pardon the pun)either. The players piled upenough sacked lunches to feeda small village. The offensewas also terrific, racking up544 total yards, and looking re-markable while doing so. A

stunning 10 different receivershauled in at least one pass inthe game.

Second-, third- and evenfourth-string athletes sawplaying time all around.Backup running backs Don-ald Russell, RaymondSanders and CoShik Williamscombined for major yards andtwo touchdowns on the day.Heck, the backup place kickereven got into the game.

So, fans can be happywith how UK played Satur-day — but the Cats won thegame before the battle hadeven begun. In fact, that wasthe case for the third consecu-tive game for the Cats.

These early statistics real-ly do not mean much.

UK has now won 18 con-secutive nonconference gamesin the regular season, but islooming around the .500 markin the SoutheasternConference in recent years.

The illegitimacy of early,nonconference games is hardto discount. Just look at thenumbers. Shoot, the UK teamnotes someone handed me af-ter the game is littered with“first time” and “never be-fore.” I honestly do not seehow it prepares the team for,say, Florida. Phillips and theteam know better than anyoneelse playing how they did ear-ly against Akron will lead to amonstrous deficit to an oppo-nent like Florida.

Senior tailback DerrickLocke has notched 372 yardsthrough the first three games,

putting him on pace for 1,488this season, a number whichseems enormous, consideringhe only reached his 2,000thcareer yard on a scamperagainst Akron. Even the con-fident (bordering on cocky)Locke shares my sentiment, ifnot feels it stronger.

“Nothing,” Locke saidwhen asked what the mile-stone meant to him. “Thatnumber should have beenhere a long time ago. It’sgood, but oh well. Somebacks reach close to thatnumber in one season, so Ican’t be proud of that.”

The Cats have not commit-ted a turnover yet, though,which is something to hang ahat on. But I venture to say UKand Phillips generally learnedlittle from the opening quarterof the season because the op-ponents they saw were no bet-ter or more diverse than theplayers they face in their in-trasquad practices each week.

The athletes cannot beblamed for taking advantageof the mediocre adversarieseither — they had nothing todo with the scheduling.

The program needs to doa better job at inking oppo-nents who will legitimatelyprepare the team for the bru-tal play it faces in the South-eastern Conference. Untilthen, UK’s record (and incon-sistent stats) will reflect thesetypes of schedules.

got in on the action. Reservetailbacks Donald Russell,Raymond Sanders andCoShik Williams combinedfor 101 yards and two touch-downs on 14 carries. Hartlinesaid the offense was able todo everything he hoped itcould.

“There definitely weretimes when we could havemade more plays,” Hartlinesaid. “We had a couple drops,and a couple schemes wecould have gone into thatcould have given us a chanceto make some plays down-field. Overall, it was good,though. When you put up500-plus yards as an offense,it feels great.”

If there was an issue, itwas that the Cats had sixpenalties called on them for60 yards. But five of thosecalls came before halftime,

and once UK recovered froma slow first quarter, there wasno stopping them.

Just as impressive, UKdidn’t turn the ball over once.The Cats have yet to issue aturnover this season. UKhead coach Joker Phillipsbristled when a reporter men-tioned that UK still hadn’tlost a fumble or thrown an in-terception this season, knock-ing on the wooden desk hesat at for good luck.

“We stress that a lot,”Phillips said. “Our plan towin is to win the turnoverbattle. Late in the game, that’sthe thing that I’ve been stress-ing.”

By the end of the thirdquarter, UK had outgainedAkron 459 yards to 79. Agarbage time drive and touch-down by the Zips againstUK’s reserve defendershelped save face, even thoughit was all but meaningless. Bythat time, the Cats alreadyhad a 47-3 lead and werementally moving on to Flori-

da.“Now conference play

starts, and it’s going to be oneof those battles that you can’trelax,” Phillips said. “You

cannot relax and not be fo-cused at any point in thegame. You cannot come outand sleepwalk because you’llbe down 14, 21 points.”

OPINIONS

Online comments openKERNEL EDITORIAL

Board excludes fundamental voices from discourseHaving been a child of UK (both my

parents taught here, and my father stilldoes) and an employee for the pastdecade, I have seen many things. As achild, I saw growth, and I saw inspira-tion. Yet as an employee, these thingsbegan to lose luster as I saw the hiddencosts of “growth” and “inspiration.”

For the first half of my career atUK, I did not even make a living wage.I graduated cum laude from IndianaUniversity, but somehow in UK’swarped system, I only merited a salarythat was barely enough to cope withrent and student loans. If I had been afamily of four, I would have been at thefederal poverty line.

But I cared about my graduate stu-dents and enjoyed my work. For a time,we thrived — but then my departmentstarted to crumble.

Since UK did not have the moneyto keep our professors (or so it said did-n’t), we lost more than half of our sen-ior faculty. So then I was in a job withno money and with no one I wished towork for.

My quest began to find anythingthat was a level above mine that wouldhave a higher pay grade.

My co-workers said the only way toearn more money at UK was to changejobs and/or go to the med center. Thiswas what the mass departmental exodus

created — mercenary souls searching forany escape possible, as long as it paidmore money. The “UK Way”!

Fortunately, I was hired to a posi-

tion that not only had a salary above theliving wage but also held new chal-lenges and experiences for me. Thesehave mostly been wonderful things, as Ihave learned new skills and terminolo-gy and am assisting in research projectsthat will postively affect millions ofpeople.

However, I am also learning howthe system maneuvers, strategizes andmanipulates. Academia is politics withdoctorates. It begins to chip away atyour enthusiasm. It chips away at yoursoul.

Perhaps it is because I have beenhere a decade. Perhaps it is my naturalsarcasm. Perhaps it is the innate dark-ness of the human psyche.

I would like to believe that theBoard of Trustees will see that this wayis a betrayal of the faculty and staffwho have toiled to improve educationand its people’s lives.

I would like to believe the peopleon the board could see beyond theirplaces of privilege and look to ourworkers who do not even make enoughmoney to save for a car, a home or anemergency fund.

I would like to believe the peopleof the board (who perhaps long agomay have experienced the fear of losingtheir job because of budget cuts andperpetual “lack of funds”) would feelthe same offense when they read a pro-posal like this during that time in theirlives.

Who are they to devalue the posi-tions of the other UK employees? If wereceived high evaluations, shouldn’t weall receive a 51 percent raise?

But we are not UK’s president.No, we are not.We are the people whom you rely on

moment to moment.We are the people who keep UK

alive.We are the people who support you

and assist you and do so without thesame luxuries as the university presidentor members of the Board of Trustees.

We are the foundation.We grumble and we rant, but we

have pride in what we do. Don’t destroy that, too.

OCTOBERSEPTEMBER23to 10

This weekend the Lexing-ton community hosted the an-nual Festival Latino de Lex-ington to celebrate Latino cul-ture.

The festival falls everyyear during the national cele-bration of Hispanic HeritageMonth from Sept. 15 to Oct.15, which recognizes and cel-ebrates Hispanic heritage andculture.

This year, the festivaladded a brand new component,the Latino Carnival Parade.The parade turned downtown’sMain Street into a Latino cul-ture showcase, with dancersand live music representing nu-merous Latin American coun-tries. The Brazilian style carni-val parade introduced Lexing-ton residents to Miss KentuckyLatina, Daniela Gaskie, wholives in Lexington.

The vibrant floats gavespectators a taste of tradition-al dances, and music playedin the countries represented.The authentic food vendorswere the icing on the cake.

Lines were long and peo-

ple were hungry. They waitedto get a taste of tacos, tamales,burritos, fried corn withcheese, rice and the populardessert, churros, a Spanishdoughnut. Festival goers couldwash everything down withmultiple flavors of “Aguas deFrutas,” a refreshing fruit drinkmade from fruit in seasoncombined with sugar and wa-ter.

Live music played onboth Friday and Saturday, andmusicians played today’s hitsin both Spanish and English.

Festival Latino de Lexing-ton organizer Irene Jarman saidthe festival and the Latino cul-ture is a huge, important part ofthe Lexington community.

“It shows the diversity ofthe community and how wehave integrated our culture intothe community,” Jarman said.“It’s such a great thing to showour heritage and who we are.”

Jarman said the festivaldraws a large crowd because itis unique and allows the com-munity to see the Latino cul-ture and what it has to offer.

“Last year we had over30,000 people come to thefestival,” Jarman said. “This

year with the new paradecomponent, we expected aneven greater turnout.”

Friday night about10,000 people attended, andSaturday night between pa-rade participants, spectatorsand the festival crowd, about25,000 attended, Jarmansaid.

Festival goers could buytraditional clothing, hand-made jewelry and sporting at-tire. They could aslo pur-chase flags for each countryto show pride.

Students who wentdowntown for the festivitiesrepresented UK at the event,including biology sophomoreArlexes Jones, who attendedthe festival Friday night.

“I traveled to Mexicowhen I was in high school,because I was studyingSpanish,” Jones said. “Theplace was amazing, andcoming to the festival mademe feel like I was backthere. From the food to themusic and the vendors, andthe people salsa dancing, Ilove being able to just comedowntown and experience anew culture.”
