One UK club will help insulate homes byrecycling denim.
The Merchandising Apparel and Textilesclub is participating in the Cotton IncorporatedDenim Drive, in which participating collegesaround the country collect jeans and denim thatare then recycled into insulation for Habitat forHumanity homes.
This is the third year the UK MAT clubwill be making this effort, said Meredith Cin-namon, MAT club organizer.
“Last year we collected approximately12,000 pairs of jeans — enough to insulate 24homes and divert 8.5 tons of waste from thelandfill,” Cinnamon said. “We are continuingthe drive this year in hopes to collect evenmore for this great cause.”
The Denim Drive started unofficially threeyears ago but was so successful, having donatedjust as much denim as many official drives, thatit has become an annual project.
The goal of the nationwide drive is to collect500 articles of denim per school, said PaigePatterson, the MAT president.
The UK MAT club has exceeded this goaleach year it has participated, Cinnamon said.
Patterson and Cinnamon both mentionedtheir gratitude for Carhartt, a company that hasbeen a supporter for this event in the past year,donating returned denim and contributing rollsof denim fabric in bulk.
The Big Blue Goes Green event willkick-off this year’s drive and the first collec-tion bin will stand alongside of MAT’s dis-play.
The event will take place Wednesday, Sept.14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Frank HarrisGrand Ballroom in the Student Center.
This week you can check out the DenimDrive booth displayed inside Good Barn duringAg Roundup.

PHOTO BY MIKE WEAVER | STAFFJohn Reed, a UK parking control officer, writes a ticket for an illegally parked car on Wednesday.
A long struggle has existedbetween students and UK Park-ing and Transportation Serviceswhen it comes to tickets, bootsand towing.
Last school year there were52,154 citations, 209 boots and1,740 impoundments on UK’scampus. Since August, therehave been 101 tows, 14 bootsand 400 citations written, ac-cording to Lance Broeking, UK’snew director of Parking andTransportation Services.
Nobody likes those numbers,especially Broeking. He said heis eager to take on the challengeof strengthening the bond be-tween UK Parking and students.
One challenge he is taking onis making changes to UKParking’s enforcement methods.
“Our desire is to reduce the
number of tows and get people topay their citations on time,”Broeking said.
Before, a vehicle was subjectto being towed after three parkingviolations. Now, when a violatorhas three unpaid citations theywill be issued a “courtesy warn-ing.”
Under new Parking policy, anautomobile is subject toimpoundment after four citationsinstead of three.
“The changes that we’re talk-ing about are specifically forunpaid violations, so they do notconcern other flagrant viola-tions,” Chrissie Tune, the seniormarketing specialist for UKParking, said.
UK students are glad to hearabout the changes in enforce-ment.
“I’ve been ticketed at least 10times, booted twice and towedonce,” Casey Peak, a political sci-
ence senior, said. “Freshman yearI was parked in K-lot with mypass. Even though I had a parkingpass and I parked legally, theystill towed me for having threeunpaid tickets.”
Peak would not have beentowed in the same instance underthe current parking policy.
“I understand the law is thelaw, but I hope they can also cutback on ticketing for minorthings,” Peak said. “I’ve gotten atleast two tickets for being parkedless than six inches over a yellowline.”
UK Parking is also makingefforts to upgrade communica-tion between the department andparking violators.
In April, UK Parking imple-mented a policy to send an emailto vehicle owners four days afterreceiving a violation and anotheremail two weeks after the viola-tion, according to a press release.
Ryan Saunders, an account-ing and finance sophomore, haspulled a slip from his windshieldlike many drivers on campus.
“I try to follow the rules, but
I’ve been ticketed,” Saunderssaid. “Sometimes the signs arenot always clear, so my friendshave been towed and ticketed forthat.”
Some students say they hopeBroeking can understand studentsand work to help resolve some ofthe problems UK students havewith parking.
“They need to add parkingstructures on campus where thelots already exist, and hopefullymake prices reasonable for stu-dents who utilize the JohnsonCenter to workout,” AllieKleinhenz, a nursing senior, said.
Broeking said he under-stands students’ perspectiveswhen it comes to resentmenttoward parking enforcement.
“I think we have kind of anegative stereotype of beingharsh and heavy-handed,”Broeking said. “Part of that is thenature of the job. I’ve been taskedwith trying to figure out how tomake our business be the mostcustomer and user-friendly as

Wants to lower tow and boot numbers,give ‘courtesy warning’ for citations
Frank X. Walker has many titles —renowned Kentucky writer, an associate pro-fessor in the department of English, the new
director of the AfricanAmerican & Africana Stud-ies Program, a comic bookaficionado, and as of late,one of the most creativeteachers in the South.
The Oxford American:“The Southern magazine ofgood writing,” chose Walk-
er to be on the list of “The most creativeteachers in the South” for the fall issue.
Walker, a UK graduate and co-founder of
the Affrilachian Poets, said he incorporatesunique teaching tools in the classroom.
“I believe I was selected because all thereally creative teachers were busy enjoyingtheir summer breaks and I was the one whoanswered the phone,” Walker said in anemail to the Kernel. “Then again it couldhave been some of the quirky things that areintegrated into my classrooms, like putt-puttgolf on the first day while we’re all getting toknow each other. I also allow my students tointerview me for the job as their teacher onthe first day. After they ‘hire’ me, I talk aboutthe syllabus as a ‘contract’ between us, then Igive them the keys to the Prius and let themdrive all the way to finals week with me astheir GPS, so to speak.”
Walker said he has made a commitment to
the identification and development of the nextgeneration of young writers and artists.
“I don’t place any restrictions on what(my students) walk out of the classroomthinking, as long as they walk out of the class-room thinking,” he said.
Walker said he is driven by those aroundhim.
“The most influential and respected peo-ple in my life, even if I didn’t like them, havealmost always been at the front of a class-room,” Walker said. “I eventually acceptedthe fact that I am uniquely wired to be ateacher. And now I love teaching and thinkof myself as a teaching artist, not just anartist/writer who teaches.”

Alpha Phi is pursuing its firsthouse on UK’s campus.
The sorority hopes to leasethe property of the Math Houseat 417 Columbia Drive.
The sorority will have aground lease on the property,
meaning the university will stillown it, said Lance Broeking, pre-vious facilities management facil-itator for the real estate at UK.
“This location ideally fitsGreek life and is known as‘Greek Park,’” Broeking said.
Susan West, assistant deanof students and director of fra-ternity and sorority affairs, saidit is a desired spot for Greek
life.“There is a great benefit to
the students, sororities andGreek community to have hous-es grouped in a geographical lo-cation,” West said. “The senseof community is enhanced whenhousing is available to membersof a group and then that housingis located close to other similarfacilities.”
If the property is leased, theMath Excel program will bemoving to 654 Maxwelton Ct.,across from the College ofLaw.
The proposal will go beforethe Board of Trustees Tuesday.The move would likely takeplace in the fall of 2012.

LOS ANGELES — Regis Philbin onTuesday announced his final date with “Live!With Regis and Kelly”: It’ll be Nov. 18, theFriday before Thanksgiving.
The detail came after Monday’s kickoff ofthe show’s new season, which has beendubbed Philbin’s “Celebration Farewell Sea-son” and includes plans for months of triviacontests and flashback clips from the last 28years.
In January, Philbin announced he’d bestepping away from his 28-year morning gig,joking that, “There is a time that everythingmust come to an end for certain people oncamera, especially certain old people.”
Sources told TMZ at the time that the de-cision came after ABC execs told his agent the
host’s next contract would include a pay cut.Philbin, who'd dumped his longtime agency aday after announcing his plans to leave“Live!” denied that assertion, saying he'd actu-ally made up his mind to leave “a long timeago.”
On Monday, Kelly Ripa took offense tothe 80-year-old host referring to the eventuali-ty of “our final show,” pointing out that themorning talker would go on after his depar-ture. Ripa pulled up a seat next to Reege in2001, permanently filling a spot left vacant byKathie Lee Gifford in 2000.
“You mean the show isn't wrapping up?”joked a faux-flummoxed Philbin.
And so — let the flashbacks begin.

possible.”Though Broeking is
the new director, he is nostranger to UK.
Broeking has beenwith UK since 1996 whenhe was an associate direc-tor for Parking andTransportation Services.
“I love the job,”Broeking said. “Iwouldn’t have asked forthe challenge if it wasn’tsomething I enjoyed.”
He has hit the groundrunning and has shortand long-term plans forUK Parking and its poli-cies.
One aspect of the vi-olations that immediatelycaught Broeking’s atten-tion was that the numberof tows outnumbered thenumber of boots over thecourse of the past nine
years. He said that in the
past, UK had a higherrate of towing than itspeer institutions, but hewants to fix that problem.
“Our desire is that wecould eliminate the needto boot or tow, but practi-cally speaking, my hopeis to utilize booting assparingly as possible andreduce towing to a mini-mal amount,” Broekingsaid.
It costs a violator $87to be towed and $60 tobe booted, he said.
Broeking said hewants to do as much as hecan to improve the rela-tionship between UKParking and students.
“There are a numberof things that are on myagenda, but I’m also try-ing to be realistic aboutwhat I can accomplishduring a period of time,”he said.

is fiction writer and UK pro-fessor, Gurney Norman.
“(Norman’s) mentorshiphas always extended beyondthe classroom,” Walker said.“He did more than anybody
to expand my world viewand teach me how to see theworld in a way that compli-mented everything my moth-er tried to teach me.”
Walker’s colleagues hadpositive things to say abouthim in return.
Marion Rust, interimchair of the UK English de-
partment, expressed why shebelieved Walker deserved thishonor.
“Frank amazes me con-tinuously, from his prize-win-ning poetry to his innovativeteaching, to his advocacy onbehalf of people all over Ken-tucky,” Rust said. “This sum-mer, he even started a pro-
gram to provide bikes to kidsin Lexington so that our newLegacy Trail could becomeavailable to all. Where doeshe find the time?”
Walker expressed that heis confident in his subject ar-eas and passionate aboutteaching.
“I don’t know if there is
one single message that I tryto communicate when teach-ing or writing or speaking,”he said. “But there are thingsthat are important to me thatcontinue to resurface in mywork and that are extensionsof my life: family, history,identity, place and social jus-tice.”
Walker has had manypostitive contributions to theuniversity, Norman said.
“He brings a wealth of lifeexperience and teaching expe-rience to his work at UK,” hesaid. “So it is no surprise tome that Oxford American hasnoticed him and granted himthis honor.”

LOS ANGELES —MariaKhani was at her computer thatSeptember morning, workingon an Arabic textbook. Thesmall TV on the desk wasturned to Al-Jazeera. Suddenly,news came: A plane had struckthe World Trade Center. Min-utes later, she watched thescreen as the second plane hit.
Khani sat frozen, questionsracing through her mind: “Oh,my God, what do I do rightnow? Is everything that I built... gone?”
For five years, she hadbeen planting the seeds ofgoodwill with Americans ofother faiths. What if it was allfor naught?
Unlike many Muslims whohunkered down after Sept. 11and let national religious or-
ganizations defend their rightsand make their case in the pub-lic square, Khani resolved notto retreat into the safety of si-lence, but to press on with herefforts over the years to be-come a part of her community,one neighbor at a time.
When Khani walked out ofher house that day in a well-to-do Huntington Beach, Calif.,neighborhood, on a block oflarge houses and palm-shadeddriveways, neighbors ap-proached with no hint of rancoror suspicion. Their message:“We know who you are, weknow about your faith, and wesupport you and we will takecare of your kids.”
This was not the experi-ence of every Muslim Ameri-can. Many recall the firstmonths and years after Sept. 11with dread: the detentions, theairport searches, the suspiciousstares, racist epithets and
worse. In response, somesought safety in a low profile.
The decade since the at-tacks on the World Trade Cen-ter and Pentagon has seen ashift in the way many Ameri-can Muslims negotiate theirdelicate position as a minoritygroup associated, fairly or un-fairly, with the perpetrators ofthe deadliest acts of terrorismin the nation’s history.
As the years wore on andthe hostility continued, even in-tensified, a number of Ameri-can Muslims became disen-chanted with the official cam-paigns for acceptance. Theybegan to see that a voice —their voice — was missingfrom the conversation aboutMuslims’ place in America.
They took matters intotheir own hands. Their effortshave been as idiosyncratic asthe individuals involved. Theyhave been as simple as inviting
a non-Muslim neighbor to aniftar, the sunset meal thatbreaks the fast during themonthlong observance of Ra-madan. They have been as life-changing as making a commit-ment to educate one’s childrenin a religiously diverse publicschool instead of a Muslim pri-vate school.
Khani and others involvedin such outreach attempts be-lieve — and this is supportedby opinion surveys — thatAmericans are less likely toharbor anti-Muslim feelings ifthey get to know even oneMuslim.
When they do, they findthat American Muslims sharewith them many of the samevalues, including a rejection ofextremist violence, apprecia-tion of hard work and supportfor women taking an activerole in society, according topolls.

Chandan Bas and hiswife, Shamala Chickamena-halli, are no exception, andtheir impact in their home-town of Goalpara Assam,India, is being felt backhere in the Bluegrass.
The electrical engineer-ing graduates have started alibrary in India that focuseson giving back to the com-munity in which they wereraised.
“At UK, I always usedto study in the library,” Bassaid. “In India, the librariesare not like the ones we seehere. After seeing the li-braries here, I thought itwould be a good idea tostart a library (in India) withall aspects other than school
life.”The library, called the
Chandan Shamala Library,is home to many books infour different languages in-cluding Assamese, English,Bangali/Bangla and Hindi.
Students are also ableto take classes in music,arts and crafts, drama anddance. The library is cur-rently working on efforts tostart physical educationclasses like Taekwondo andyoga.
“The idea was to keepkids busy so that they staybusy and stay in school,”Bas said.
Once formed out of tworooms in their family’shome, the couple has big fu-ture plans for their library.The alums are planning toexpand the library to includecomputers and newspapers,and also include free healthcheckups for locals.
“I personally feel that if
you can impact your com-munity in taking the oppor-tunities that you have, it ishuge,” said James Ballard,student affairs coordinator atthe College of Engineering.“Education is a luxury withmillions of people whodon’t have access.”
The alumni, though theyhave relocated to Phoenix,Ariz., still consider UK theirhome. The couple encour-ages current UK students toplan to make a difference intheir communities.
“Don’t wait, you do notknow what will happen to-morrow,” Das said. “Startsmall, then grow on it.”

The urinals at Commonwealth Stadium andthe bells at Barker Hall are controlled from thesame room at UK.
These campus functions and more — manymore — are controlled in the Delta Room, UK’scentral command for energy management.
The Delta Room got its name from its origi-nal energy management system, the Delta Sys-tem, said Galen Tolliver, the room’s supervisor.
When someone would call, the room’sworkers would respond with, “Delta Room,”
Tolliver said.One of the ways the Delta Room managed
energy is handling the many schedules of build-ings on campus, he said.
The Delta Room controls everything fromanimal laboratories in Kastle Hall, which havenarrow temperature limits, to flushing the toiletsat Commonwealth Stadium — they’re flushedevery two minutes during games — to ringingthe bells at Barker Hall.
Tolliver said his staff oversees the energy for
auxiliary services, residence halls, athletics andfood services. The Delta Room doesn’t overseethe medical campus.
One of the services the room provides tocampus is for people who are on campus duringhours when buildings aren’t normally in use.Tolliver said anyone can call the Delta Room torequest the fan be turned on for two hours, ifthey neat heat or neat cool.
When someone calls the room, they don’t getan answering machine.
“You get to talk to a person whenyou call the Delta Room,” Tolliver said.
He said the room doesn’t have a highturnover rate — many of the workers in the
room have been there for more than 15years.
Ross Reasor, a dispatcher in the DeltaRoom, is one of the “newer workers” havingonly been at the room for six or seven years.
“He won’t let us leave,” Reasor joked.This Delta Room is formally room 233a of
the Peterson Service Building. The room ishidden away from the hallway on the secondfloor, so as one walks down the hallway, therooms jump from 232 to 234.
The room itself is lit with the light ofmany computer monitors. Alarms, notifica-tions and printers give the room constantsound.
Tolliver said they change the alarmsounds every couple of months to make surehis workers don’t start ignoring the sounds.
Two of the current sounds are “counsel”and “warp core collapse in 10 seconds.”
One of the monitors in the room showselevators in residence halls.
Tolliver said Thursday nights provide forsome amusing footage and the night afterthe Beaux Arts Ball is one of the best forwatching the elevators.
Since the Delta Room is an interiorroom, it has no outside windows. To livenup the room, Tolliver requested pictures tobe put up where the interior windows are, heended up with a full-wall photo.
“I asked for two windows and I ended upwith a mural,” Tolliver said.

Go Green. Recycle this Kernel.
The UK defense showedup to play against WesternKentucky last Thursday.
Among those defensiveplayers were senior line-backer Danny Trevathan andsenior safety Winston Guy,who are two dependable per-formers for the Cats when itcomes to stopping the oppos-ing offense.
The defense had 33 of its73 total tackles from threeplayers.
As one may expect, itwas Trevathan and Guy whohad 23 stops between them;13 for Trevathan and 10 forGuy.
But who was the thirdplayer?
It was none other thansenior linebacker RonnieSneed with the other 10tackles for the Cats.
Sneed, while quiet lastseason, started every game atmiddle linebacker and wasthe team’s third-leading tack-ler, finishing the season with62 total defensive stops.
A 2010 member of theSEC Academic Honor Roll,Sneed could be a beneficialand critical piece to co-de-fensive coordinator RickMinter’s new 3-4 defensivescheme.
While stopping runnersin their path to the tune of 10tackles, Sneed had half of atackle for a loss and snaggedone of UK’s four intercep-tions, his first as a Cat.
During his weekly newsconference Monday, headcoach Joker Phillips spoke
highly of UK’s defense.“I think you're seeing
more guys play like WinstonGuy and Danny,” Phillipssaid. “Our guys played withgreat effort. It’s infectious. Ithink you see those two guysplaying that way and ourother players want to do thesame.”
Given Sneed’s experi-ence, he should be playing ata similar level with Guy andTrevathan.
The Tallahassee nativedidn’t play in a game until2008 after having to redshirtduring his 2007 season.
Despite playing in sixgames, Sneed’s first colle-giate tackle didn’t come untillater in the 2008 season dur-ing the Liberty Bowl.
His sophomore campaignpresented him the opportuni-ty for playing time.
In 11 appearances, Sneedmade 14 tackles, including aseason-best three tackles atFlorida.
While his production has
steadily been increasing,Sneed is now looking to takefull advantage of the systemhe is in and become a break-through player on defense.
Though he was over-looked last season, the cir-cumstances that presentedthemselves even had Guy,who finished with 106 tack-les, being overshadowed bythe team’s inconsistent sec-ond-half performances andthe outstanding play of Tre-vathan.
As the season wears on,Sneed can place himself ingood company if he contin-ues to build upon recent suc-cess.
UK fans have been ac-customed to pro talent com-ing in form of defense, andwith Trevathan already there,Sneed could be the next in arecent line of successful Catsthat includes the likes ofBraxton Kelley, WesleyWoodyard, Corey Peters,Trevard Lindley, MyronPryor and Jeremy Jarmon.

Good news is coming forUK freshmen. Most of themwill only have to take one hu-manities class. Thank good-ness! We would hate for fu-ture UK students to actuallyhave to — how should I saythis? — think.
Now, I know I am ruf-fling feathers. “Emma,” youmight say, “fewer humanitiesprerequisites will providescience students with theability to specialize earlier.The humanities coursesrarely score high in the cate-gories of real world knowl-edge, applicability or useful-ness.”
I understand the attrac-tiveness of this line ofthought. Let’s only take class-es that are directly applicableto our career goals.
But now, I’m scratchingmy head wondering why Itook physics. If, as a doctor, Iam ever asked to correctlycalculate the torque of an ob-ject, I’ll be shocked. Thenagain, correctly identifyingHomer won’t do me muchgood either. So why am Iprotesting the university’sdismissal of the humanities?
Humanities is useful toevery student regardless ofhis or her major, even us sci-ence geeks.
Let’s see if this biologystudent can struggle to sup-port this outlandish thesis.
In my science classes, Ilearn how to analyze, processand memorize facts, experi-mental results and formulas.
In my humanities classes,I learn how to think, questionand express more philosophi-cal concepts.
What good is a doctorwho does not understandwhat the word “life” means?
No, I don’t mean whenyour cells are functioningproperly. I am talking about
knowing the purpose of youryears here on earth and learn-ing how to improve the quali-ty of life for others.
Should we educate physi-cians in biology while ne-glecting the principles ofcommunity ownership and re-sponsibility? What if theygraduate unable to recognizeinjustice? Or love? Or pain?
I’m trying to find in myscience notes where I learnedthose concepts. I know itmust be here somewhere.
Now, I’m not trying towaste my time (or yours) byarguing that UK should re-quire freshmen to completethree more hours in the areaof humanities. Uninterestedstudents would still readSparkNotes online, hurriedlyscribble down a half-thought-out essay and jumpthrough the extra hoop asthey struggle to keep theirGPA intact.
Instead, I am challengingyou to think about the pur-pose of education. Thinkabout why you are here. Is
this university simply jobtraining? A checklist to com-plete before earning a pieceof paper? Is this an environ-ment where getting a 4.0 isthe main purpose and learn-ing is only a nasty side ef-fect?
Personally, I am here tobecome an educated, thinkingindividual who understandslife better than when I firstwalked into White HallClassroom Building.
But, I understand thatchallenging yourself to learnhow to think is not a funthing to do during your col-lege years. It’s not really agreat motivating factor forstudents to take an unrequiredclass.
Maybe the only hope forthe humanities is to publicizethe verbal reasoning portionsof the MCAT, PCAT, GREand LSAT. Who cares aboutlearning?
Emma Scott is a biologyand spanish junior. [email protected].
Knowledge of humanities important for all professions
Tyler Hess’ opinion piece, “‘Student imprisoned forprotesting ‘the monster,’” on Sept. 7, raises strong and le-gitimate arguments against the extraction of oil from thetar sands of Alberta, Canada.
It was interesting to hear his per-spective as a protester, and he conveyedhis point of view very well. I did catchone factual error, however.
The Alberta tar sands are not 300million years old as he reports. Whilethe Carboniferous coal deposits in Ken-tucky are this age, there were other pe-riods in Earth history during which spe-cial geologic conditions resulted in theformation and preservation of hydrocar-bons.
In Alberta, bituminous sands arehosted by the Cretaceous McMurray Formation, which isabout 110-120 million years old. The Cretaceous is an im-portant period of hydrocarbon generation in the RockyMountain region and in other areas around the world.

The Cats swept Louisvillein three sets (25-22, 26-24,25-11) at Memorial ColiseumWednesday night.
Since a loss to Cincinnatilast week, UK h```````as wonfour consecutive matches.
The Cats took their per-formance from last week’sgame and changed theirmindset in order to string to-gether a few wins.
“I gotta give it to ourteam,” head coach CraigSkinner said. “They decidedthat wasn’t going to happenagain and they committed inpractice and committed toeach other to make it impor-tant that defense is a big pri-ority for us.”
After a rough practice, theplayers collaborated on de-fense and creating plays.
“It’s like a total turn-around,” said sophomore
Whitney Billings, whorecorded 11 kills and 15 digs.“That wasn’t Kentucky vol-leyball. The game tonight?That was us.”
UK came off the Cincin-nati match expecting better,and they have proved it so farin this past week.
“It was embarrassing forus, the way we performed,”junior Christine Hartmannsaid. “And it was good tocome off that weekend andthat’s who we are.”
Against Louisville, theCats tallied 49 kills, 135 totalattacks, 44 assists and 65digs. Louisville had 28 kills,118 total attacks, 24 assistsand 56 digs.
“We certainly respectUK’s program, we thinkthey’re phenomenal,”Louisville head coach AnneKordes said. “But we want tomake sure that if anybody’sbeating us it’s because wewent out there and gave them
everything we had and I don’tthink we did that tonight.”
U of L’s consensus wasthat they were outplayed.
“Losing never feelsgood,” Louisville seniorGwen Rucker said. “Itdoesn’t feel that good to loseto UK at all.”
UK jumped on the Cardi-nals early in the match andmaintained their intensitythroughout the win.
“It’s really important, notjust as a rivalry, but for ourmomentum within the pre-season,” Hartmann said.
In the second set, U of Lthreatened, claiming a 24-23lead against the Cats. UK re-sponded by scoring threestraight points to claim thesecond set.
“One of our things thisyear was ‘play with no fear,’”freshman Lauren O’Connersaid. “I think we really didthat at the end of the secondset.”
