The rain didn’t stop UK’s GayStraight Alliance from hosting theirannual “Coming Out Day.”

GSA and OUTsource membershad their door up and ready at 10 a.m.Thursday.

T-shirts and free buttons werehanded out to visitors. Free food, aswell as face and finger nail paintingwere part of the event.

Despite the weather, studentsstopped by throughout the day to showtheir support for the LGBT communityin Lexington.

Sophomores India Stewart andScout Noffke came to spread aware-ness of the gay pride community oncampus, but also to celebrate theirone-month anniversary.

“It’s really important to show sup-port for your own community as muchas you can,” Stewart said.

The AIDS Volunteer Organization(AVOL) also had members at the Stu-dent Center.

The organization serves the EasternKentucky region with counseling andsupport, as well as free testing for thoseinfected or affected by HIV/AIDS,

Members spread the word abouttheir local initiative, “Dining Out forLife,” which will take place on Nov. 30.

The initiative is a joint effort withLexington companies. Proceeds fromparticipating locations will go towardtheir cause.

“It’s important that people ac-knowledge how much it helps peoplesuffering with this disease,” said Ter-rance Tishenor, member of AVOL.

Breanne Weaver, a senior andmember of GSA, said the universitycommunity is eager to help.

Not many people stopLeBron James.

So when Anthony Davissaid he, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and TerrenceJones, who switched offturns trying to stop a manwho NBA defenders havetrouble guarding, “kind of”stopped James when heswung through UK to play

pickup with the players,that’s pretty impressive.

But it did come with aclarifier.

“But you know, it’s Le-Bron,” Davis said. “So he’sstill going to score.”

The plethora of NBAstars who stopped by Lex-ington as the lockout con-tinues benefited UK in a va-riety of ways. For Davis,who admits he is uncom-fortable down low, he

learned some low-postmoves from the best.

“I’ve been working outwith DeMarcus (Cousins)and Nazr (Mohammed),”Davis said. “They’re show-ing me some new shots,post moves.”

Freshman point guardMarquis Teague reiteratedthe same thought, as hewent up against the likes ofRajon Rondo of the BostonCeltics and Russell West-

brook of the Oklahoma CityThunder.

“Rondo’s more of a truepoint guard. He doesn’tscore a lot, but he can scoreif he needs to,” Teague said,whose brother Jeff plays forthe Atlanta Hawks. “RussellWestbrook is coming at youevery time. He’s not back-ing off at all, not easing up.He’s trying to dunk it onyou or score on you everysingle play.”

Terrence Jones said UKcompeted hard against the

NBA players and largelyheld their own, although hehedged how much could betaken from that.

“It’s hard to really say,”Jones said. “It’s hard tocompare them in an opengym against what they real-ly play like in the NBA.”

Doron Lamb said heguarded Kevin Durant andJames Harden from theThunder.

As for Kyle Wiltjer, thereturn of former UK playersshows exactly the type of

family atmosphere JohnCalipari is trying to build.Wiltjer said the current UKgroup is already close, andseeing Calipari offer staffpositions to Rondo and Mo-hammed if they choose toreturn to school, as he didThursday, reinforces that.

“This is one of the clos-est teams I’ve played on,”Wiltjer said. “And then see-ing all the NBA guys comeback, it’s pretty amazingthat they’re comfortable

Players learn moves, work ethic from professionals

Two weeks ago, fans in tentssurrounded the perimeters of Me-morial Coliseum to camp out forBig Blue Madness.

Friday has arrived, and thosesame fans will flock to Rupp Arena.

After seeing the 550 plus tents,freshmen got their first taste of thefan base that worships UK basket-ball.

“Coming outside the Lodge tosee hundreds of fans camping outto watch a free practice is unbe-lievable,” freshman forward KyleWiltjer said.

With all this attention, the Catsare beginning to see how importantUK basketball is. The star status is“hitting” them.

“It’s hitting me now because allthis attention right now, it’s justcrazy,” freshman forward MichaelKidd-Gilchrist said.

The freshmen summarizedTent City in one word: “Crazy.”

“I’ve never seen anything likethat in my life. They were outthere for a week,” freshman guardMarquis Teague said. “We werebringing them food and stuff. Theywere talking about how cold it wasand they were still standing outthere. I couldn’t do it.”

Teague said the fan baseserved as motivation to performwell. They make them “work hardevery day.”

Teague has an understandingfor what fans expect of the Cats.

“They’re die-hard. They’re se-rious about this, so we should take

it seriously too,” he said. Sophomore transfer Ryan Har-

row said this is a big adjustmentfrom N.C. State.

“As soon as I saw those peopleout there I called my mom,” Har-row said. “They were waiting outhere for three and four days outhere for tickets that are free. It wascrazy and it just shows how muchthey really want us to do well andhow much they support us.”

Regardless of the fans follow-ing relentlessly at every move, thefreshmen aren’t feeling much pres-sure.

“We don’t look at it as pres-sure,” Wiltjer said. “We’re just go-ing to go out every night and playas hard as we can.”

Class urges studentsto think about futures

Most people entering the workforce have spent between 17 to 22years of their lives devoted topreparing for their future careers,according to UK professor GregoryBocchino.

In response, Bocchino devel-oped A&S 350, a course designed tohelp students think critically abouttheir career options.

According to Kelly Higgins, aninstructor for the course, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is an assess-ment used to increase self-aware-ness and discover personality types.

StrengthsQuest is another as-

sessment used in the course to iden-tify students’ top five strengths.

These strengths can be utilizedin school, work and everyday sociallife, Bocchino said.

“I have had students that imple-mented their strengths into their re-sume and interviews, giving specificexamples of individual strengthsand explaining how they havedemonstrated them,” Higgins said.

Gordy Hoagland, a senior takingthe course this semester, said one ofthe assignments he found most eye-opening was one that asked studentsto list between 20-25 big events intheir lives.

Academic requirements are onthe rise for students applying to UK.

The Institutional Research,Planning, and Effectiveness is astrategic partner with UK.

According to their website, theaverage ACT score for incomingfreshmen has steadily risen since2006 – 2007.

“The average composite ACTscore of the freshmen 2011 class is25.5, up from 25.2 last year,” saidMichelle Nordin, student servicesdirector, in an email to the Kernel.

The increase in admissions

standards is not a coincidence. It isin part due to the goal that UK setfor the “top 20 by 2020,” Nordinsaid.

“The University’s StrategicPlan for 2009-2014 calls for us toenroll more high-ability studentsfrom all societal segments,” shesaid.

As UK’s admission standardsare increasing, so are the require-ments for high school students inKentucky.

Part of the assessment for highschool seniors is a College CareerReadiness component, according toSally Adams, a guidance counselorat Lafayette High School.

High school juniors enrolled inpublic schools in Kentucky are re-quired to take the ACT for state as-sessment, Adams said.

Local high schools are offeringACT preparation programs forhigh school students.

UK offers a program for highschool students through the Divi-sion of Undergraduate Education.

Although ACT and SAT scoresare important, they’re not the soledeterminate in acceptance to theuniversity, Nordin said.

High school schedule, leader-ship activities, essay questions andletters of recommendation are nowplaying a role in the admission

process.The increased rigor of the ap-

plication process has resulted in adecrease in the freshmen class sizefor 2011 by about 200 students.

According to a chart from UK’sOffice of Institutional Research, theaverage GPA for freshmen in thefall of 2009 was 2.82.

Students are being chosenthrough a more demanding appli-cation process.

The university is striving toattract “more top students fromwithin the state of Kentucky andbeyond, including undergraduateinternational students,” Nordinsaid.

On Saturday, Oct. 15, UKstudents can take a break fromtheir hectic college life andreturn to a “whole new world.”

The Student Activities

Board, in response to wilddemand from students, will behosting Disney Mania, amarathon of everyone’s favoriteDisney movies.

The event will be showingsuch classics as Aladdin, Beautyand the Beast, and The LionKing.

Inspiration for theevent came from anSAB survey wherestudents were askedwhat kinds of moviemarathons they wouldlike to see on campus,said Brandon Pain, acommittee chair forSAB.

“It’s nice that SABis offering studentsthe opportunity to sitdown and enjoy some-thing simple,” fresh-man Ryan McDuffiesaid.

The SAB commit-tee thoroughlyresearched the moviesthat they believed stu-dents would enjoy the

most from the vast arsenal ofDisney classics and “pickedthree that we thought would rep-resent the Disney that everyoneloves,” said Pain.

The event will kick off onSaturday, Oct. 15, in William T.Young auditorium at 2 p.m.

Students will be taken on a“magic carpet ride” withDisney’s Aladdin showing first.The movie came out in 1992 andfeatures Robin Williams as thefamous genie.

SAB will continue to askstudents to “be our guest,” asBeauty and the Beast plays andstudents enjoy the free foodoffered throughout the event,and all should “be prepared” asthe Mania closes with the LionKing, an appropriate finale asone of the highest grossing ani-mated films of all time.

“Watching movies fromwhen you were youngerbrings up nostalgia. They alsohelp keep your inner childalive and not grow up toofast,” said Keely Schaefer, asophomore.

LOS ANGELES — “The Lone Ranger” isback in the saddle.

The big-budget film starring JohnnyDepp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the ti-tle character will restart production Feb. 6,a person with knowledge of the situationsaid.

Walt Disney Studios halted work on themodern retelling of the popular 1949 televi-sion western in August, citing budgetary con-cerns. The filmmakers had been asked to re-duce the $250-million budget to reach the$200-million figure Disney had wanted tospend.

A spokesman for the film studio did notrespond to requests for comment; however, aperson familiar with the situation said the proj-ect had been revived. The news was first re-ported by Deadline Hollywood.

Many details remain unclear, including theproduction budget for the film and the releasedate. The film originally was scheduled toreach theaters on Dec. 21, 2012.

Depp has been the studio’s most bankablestar in recent years, anchoring two films thatreaped more than a billion dollars in world-wide box office — this summer’s “Pirates ofthe Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and the2010 film “Alice in Wonderland.”

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and directorGore Verbinski, the team behind the first three“Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, will be in-volved in the project. Verbinski previouslyclashed with Disney studio executives overcost overruns on the third installment of the“Pirates” franchise and did not direct the mostrecent sequel.

Calipari loves havingthe players back in town(and potentially sports-writers, as Calipariquipped, since they don’thave an NBA to writeabout and the closest ap-proximation is in Lexing-ton). It shows his currentteam how much workgoes into becoming a star,and it proves how muchhe cares about his players.

“They are loyal to theprogram, to me personal-ly,” Calipari said. “Theyknow I’m loyal to themand they are not going tohurt the program.”

thinks this kind of behavior from fans issomething the Cats have to get used to,whether they like it or not.

“You come here, you have to wantthis,” he said. “That's what you want, that'swhy you come to Kentucky. If you don'twant this kind of stuff, you don't comehere, you just don't.”

The Cats are excited to play in front offans for the first time this year before sea-son starts.

“I think everybody’s going to put on ashow, so we want to just want to have fun,freshman forward Anthony Davis said.“Marquis (Teague) wanted me to let himdunk on me, but I told him no, I can’t dothat. This is going to be on ESPN. I can’t letyou do that.”

Calipari said UK planned to rehearsefor Madness Thursday night.

“So we are going to go down and havea practice (Thursday) and then we'll do arehearsal so they will know and they will becomfortable in what they have to do,”Calipari said.

With the John Wall Dance from 2009and Enes Kanter’s Undertaker getup fromlast year’s Big Blue Madness, this year’ssquad is brainstorming who will be thetalk of the campus after Friday night.

Teague said that sophomore Ryan Har-row had the best dance moves, but UKfans can be expecting possible perform-ances from sophomore guard Jarrod Pol-son, senior forward Eloy Vargas and soph-omore guard Doron Lamb.

“I may dance. I think the one that’sdefinitely dancing though, is J.P. (Pol-son),” Harrow said. “I saw his whole rou-tine and everything.”

But Harrow is more nervous dancingin front of 25,000 people than playing infront of them, obviously.

“I know I can play, but the dancingthey may think is a little crazy,” he said.

reflection, helping the students seewhat they like and what is importantto them.

Most people are not shockedwhen they find out their strengths,Bocchino said.

Hoagland had considered salesbefore, and taking the A&S coursehelped him decide his major.

“I love people and helping peo-ple, so I decided going into sales andinteracting would be good for me,”Hoagland said.

Along with learning individualstrengths, the course asks studentsto think critically about their careerchoice.

An important assignment in thecourse is to map out every detailedstep that needs to be accomplishedso students can reach their careergoal, Bocchino said.

Steps include getting letters of

recommendation from professors,applying to grad school and study-ing to take the GRE.

“Many students know what theywant to do,” he said. “This just en-hances that.”

The three-credit hour course, ti-tled “Personal Strengths and YourCareer Development,” has had posi-tive feedback.

The fall course filled up, so a10-week course in October wasadded. It will be offered again in thespring.

For arts and sciences majors, theclass counts as a social sciencescredit.

The class will fill different re-quirements depending on the col-lege.

Hoagland suggested this coursefor anyone at UK, especially fresh-man.

“I’m trying to get younger guysto take the class,” Hoagland said,“because it’s so helpful in decidingyour future.”

Occupy Wall Street. End 'Cor-poratocracy'. Show those greedycorporations who's boss. Stand upfor your rights!

This has been the mantra of the"99 percent" in the Occupy WallStreet movement.

I wonder how many of theseprotesters have cell phones, laptops,cameras or clothes from stores likeGap. I wonder how many own acar from a foreign or domestic pro-ducer. I wonder how often they useGoogle.

The idea that big corporationsare evil and that profit is a dirtyword is ludicrous. The late SteveJobs is a shining example of theAmerican entrepreneurial spirit. Herevolutionized an entire industrybased solely on consumer demandand innovation.

According to an Oct. 13 Van-couver Sun article, "J.P. Morgan un-derwrote the company's 1980 initial

public offering of shares.”The irony of the situation is ap-

parently lost on protestors. Busi-ness and profit drive America'seconomy. Demanding that thesebusinesses be brought down is de-manding the destruction of Ameri-ca.

A college degree does not enti-tle one to a six-figure job, 'free'healthcare or a luxury car. It doesnot entitle you to tell others thattheir success is wrong or evil. It isno one's business if a CEO of aFortune 500 company drives a nicecar, or has a private jet. The pro-duction of these luxuries providesjobs.

America's economy is not azero-sum competition; one person'ssuccess does not make anotherpoor. A job is not a human right.And Steve Jobs didn't make bil-lions by protesting life's inequali-ties.

You have been victimized by cor-porations. You have been taken ad-vantage of. Someway, somehow, apart of your life has been negativelyimpacted by the growing thievery ofmulti-national corporations. Are youburdened by student debt or outra-geous credit card fees? Have youbeen denied basic healthcare or theright to vote? Have banks illegallyforeclosed on your house? Unem-ployed or underemployed? Sickenedby polluted food, air or water? Mil-lions, if not billions, of people havebeen. And the people represented bythese classifications and conditionsare no longer being silent.

People are taking to the streets.People are voicing their disgust at be-ing under the boot of the corporatestate. These human beings have beenmarginalized for decades, if not cen-turies. The majority of the Americanand global population, collectivelybeing called the 99 percent, is angry.

Have you seen the thousands ofnormal folk taking to the streets?Have you seen the multi-gender, mul-ti-racial, multi-generational, and mul-ti-grievance plethora of people pavingthe streets with their presence? Hun-dreds, thousands, and even tens ofthousands are on street corners and inpublic parks across the country asyou read this.

These multitudes are pleading,screaming and protesting passionatelyin hundreds of major cities across theglobe. New York City was where itstarted. And now it has spread. Citiesjoining the uprising include New Or-leans, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami,Boston, London, Tel Aviv, Madrid,Cairo, Sydney and, for two weeksnow, Lexington.

It is a people — based move-ment. It is a growing movement call-ing for more than reform. We arecalling for the restructuring of thesystem that has creatively been en-slaving the 99percent for way, waytoo long. An occupation was calledfor; an occupation of Wall Street.

The symbolism of this locationthat just spun through your mind isvalid. And yet it is more than sym-bolism. Wall Street, and the encom-passing financial institutions that theterm implies, should be held respon-sible.

Over $40 trillion dollars ofwealth was stolen from the globaleconomy in the financial crisis of2008. Did you get to dip your handin the jar? Were you, the workingparent, the studying student or the

compassionate nurse the ones whobenefited from this pillage?

To the contrary, you may havebeen like my family. My mother'spreviously stable, self-owned and lo-cal business was almost crushed. Andyet we continue on. The inequalitygrows. The poor languish. Mean-while, the rich squirm in splendor.

Watch the Academy Award win-ning documentary “Inside Job” ifyou'd like more specifics on the 2008crisis. The point still stands that the99 percent of us, who daily do morethan financial speculation and corpo-rate schmoozing, were looted. The 99percent were plundered, ransacked,robbed. What other verbs or exam-ples do you need in order to connectthe ongoing multi-national corporatecoup to your personal situation?

The corruption has been laidbare. Politicians are bought and soldby the same mega-interests, regard-less of what color or jersey theywear.

During the first week of the Oc-cupy Lexington movement, I protest-ed and slept on the sidewalk out infront of Chase Bank on Main Street.On that corner I now write this col-umn. But for this last week, I traveledto Washington D.C. and New YorkCity. I witnessed thousands express-ing themselves. I yelled, but I alsolistened. I listened to so many stories.I heard stories of healthcare-less, andnow dead, children. I heard stories ofmentally fragmented veterans. I heardstories of students permanently indebt; students like me, just wanting toget an education. I heard stories ofpension-less elders. I heard stories of21st century wage slavery. These sto-ries show that the minimum wage isin no way a living wage.

I grieved, cheered and listened tostories from fellow humans who havebeen both physically and metaphori-cally beaten down. The stories couldcontinue. But elaborating on the ex-periences will be saved for anothercolumn.

For now, all I plead for is yourparticipation. You — your mind,hands, legs — are needed. The peo-ple's uprising needs you. Take a partin creating your future. Stop lettingyourself be controlled.

Once we separate ourselves fromthe commoditized image the corpo-rate state sees us as, the capacity forhuman potential we each have can beunleashed.

Look us up online if you wish.Then come join us. We'll be here.

Occupy movementidentifies corruption

The world of competitivefishing is intense and timeconsuming. Those things,however, do not stop the UKfishing team from getting inthe thick of it.

“Rolling out of bed at 4a.m. and fishing all dayagainst top-notch competitionis not an easy task,” said teampresident Adam Bryant. “Es-pecially on the lakes, wedon’t have the opportunity tofish often, but we enjoy thechallenge.”

The goal is to catch large-mouth bass, which can befound in most any lake in thisregion. Typically, the ruleswill allow for each boat tokeep their top five bass ac-cording to weight in a singleday. Total weight for theevent wins, and that team cantake home a substantialamount of loot.

The Forrest L. Wood touris where the big money is.

“First place can be any-where from ten thousand toone hundred thousand dol-lars, depending on how farinto the post-season we go,”said Bryant. “The FLW isan organization that puts onfishing tournament seriesacross the nation, and issponsored by the NationalGuard. Our best FLW finishwas 8th place last year, how-ever we needed to make thetop 5 to move on. Thesetournaments are held in thespring, and we are lookingforward to trying to makenationals in 2012.”

Before entering tourna-ments like the FLW, the teammembers must compete be-tween themselves for the hon-or of representing UK.

“We have our own quali-fiers on lakes in this region todetermine the top four on theteam. These four will taketwo boats and fish the majortournaments we enter,” saidBryant.

The locations used forqualifying are Barren RiverLake, Taylorsville Lake andGreen River Lake.

UK’s best effort last yearwas a second-place finish atthe Murray State Invitation-al. The event was held onKentucky Lake, near Paduc-ah.

“Boats were averaging

15 pounds per day on 5fish, which is really goodfor February. It’s also awonderful jerk-bait lake,”Bryant said.

“Kentucky Lake is a hugebody of water, with around160,000 acres to cover,” saidteammate Proc Robinson.

To put the size of Ken-tucky Lake in perspective, itis more than double the sizeof Lake Cumberland.

The team had a former

member break through to theprofessional ranks.

Four years ago, UKgraduate Brandon Card wasinvited to attend a special onthe Outdoor channel. It wascalled the ultimate matchfishing college edition. It in-volves fishing against anoth-er person in the boat, whichis opposite from any othertournament situation. Cardwon, and it propelled him tothe prestigious Bassmaster

tour.“He is UK’s claim to

fame at this point,” Bryantsaid.

The team has a Facebookpage. For those who like tocasually fish and have a goodtime, member Proc Robinsonoffers this advice.

“Lake Cumberland is avery fun place. You can catchlargemouth and smallmouth.If they don’t bite, the striperbass also hit big there.”

The whispers were sur-prising, the ones coming outof Lexington this summerindicating Ryan Harrow wasmore than holding his own inpickup games.

Josh Harrellson com-pared Harrow’s hops to JohnWall’s. Darius Miller saidHarrow was one the samelevel as the other talentednewcomers.

We won’t know how truethe whispers were until nextseason, as Harrow has to sitout this whole season aftertransferring from North Car-olina State.

Which means he’s justgoing to go even bigger inBig Blue Madness, which,besides the Blue-Whitescrimmage in two weeks, isthe only event he gets to playin front of fans.

“I think the guys knowthis is my one time to actuallygo out there and show mystuff,” Harrow said. “They’llbe looking out for me (Fri-day).”

Like, clearing out on de-fense to let him go for a wide-open dunk?

“Probably,” Harrow saidwith a laugh. “Letting me

have fun and letting me dowhat I do best. Putting on ashow, I guess.”

He’ll have plenty of peo-ple to do it for Friday. RuppArena is sold out — includ-ing his family, who are com-ing in to see the Madness.

“I know they’ll be excitedfor all my dunks and stuff,”Harrow said.

There’s sure to be plentyof those, if Harrow’sYouTube highlights are anyindication.

The fans get to see Har-row. Harrow also gets to playwith his teammates in agame-like atmosphere. It willbe as much for him as it willbe for them.

But it will be bittersweet.Harrow’s already staring

down the void he will faceafter these two public show-cases. He’ll still be able topractice with the team, sure,but in the privacy of the JoeCraft Center. The rest of thetime, he’ll be sitting on thebench.

That’s a long wait forsomeone who played a fullyear at N.C. State last season.Instead of bouncing backfrom a subpar year after beinga highly ranked recruit, he’llhave to wait it out. Halfwaythrough the year, he’ll get towatch as fellow transferTwany Beckham becomes eli-gible to play in games.

He’s able to compensatefor the missed time by telling

himself he will be a betterplayer from having a year tolearn UK’s system.

But those benefits are ayear away.

“When I first transferred,I said it’s not going to be abig deal. It will go by fast,”Harrow said. “But it just hitme this week that college bas-ketball is about to start up andI won’t be able to play.”

He saw a tweet from ahometown friend who is go-ing to play at East Carolina.The friend was countingdown the days until he wouldbe “living his dream,” Har-row said.

That was when it hit Har-row.

He won’t be playing thisyear.

Not a single minute.“I’ve played college bas-

ketball already,” Harrow said,“but I was like, ‘dang, I’mnot doing to be able to playthis year. It was kind oftough. But you get over it.”

Getting a preliminarytaste of UK basketball at BigBlue Madness will go a longway toward helping him getthrough the year.

Getting acquainted withthe Rupp Arena cheers will besatisfying.

Until the whispers be-come shouts.
