September is Campus Fire Safety Month,and UK is doing its part.

Numerous stations were set up outsidethe New North dormitory yesterday in orderto teach students more about fire safety, giv-ing students free tee shirts from campus andcity fire representatives.

The goal of the event was “to increasethe awareness of fire safety around campus,”UK Assistant Fire Marshal Jason Ellis said.

A faux smoke house was present nearby,which simulated real conditions in the caseof an actual fire.

“We’re trying to teach people what it’sactually like in a smoke-filled environment,

and how to get out of it,” Antoine Tribble ofthe Lexington Fire Department said.

A digital fire extinguisher training exer-cise was also on hand, as students were ableto aim a fake extinguisher at a screen to putout a simulated fire.

“This teaches students how to put out afire correctly,” said Ellis. “A laser hits thescreen, and if you don’t shoot at the base ofthe fire, it won’t go out.”

In addition to these exercises, Ellis hadmore information to offer students.

“A fire doubles in size every 30 sec-onds,” Ellis said. “Last year there were ru-mors that if you lived above the eighth floorin one of the towers, you were out of luck inthe event of a fire. That is simply not true.”

Ellis also advised students to stay clearof smoke filled hallways and stairwells.

“If you have to pass through smoke toget out of the building, go back to your roomand call 911,” Ellis said. “Most times it’s thesmoke that kills you, not the fire.”

Some students came away from the eventmore prepared in the case of an emergency.

“I learned some interesting things today,”business sophomore Taylor Blair said. “I re-alized I was actually quite naïve when itcame to fire safety.”

Yesterday’s event was the first of five tooccur around campus every Wednesday ofthis month. Next week’s happening will beheld at the Commons Complex from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m.

While UK basketball fa-vorite Richie Farmer had ter-rific range on the court, henow hopes to expand thatrange beyond hardwood.

Farmer, a member ofUK’s “Unforgettables,” an-nounced Wednesday inFrankfort that he is runningas Lt. Governor in Republi-can senate president DavidWilliams’ 2011 gubernatorialcampaign.

“Because of what Ken-tucky has done for me, I feelI must give back throughpublic service,” Farmer said.“I am proud of my service

and feel strongly that I haveeven more to offer people ofKentucky.”

A Manchester, Ky. native,Farmer played shooting guardfor the University of Ken-tucky from 1988 to 1992,where he posted career aver-ages of 7.6 points, 1.6 re-bounds and 1.6 assists pergame. Farmer and teammatesDeron Feldhaus, Sean Woodsand John Pelphrey wereknown as “the Unforgetta-bles.” UK retired his No. 32in 1992.

Farmer received a Bache-lor of Science with a doublemajor in agricultural econom-ics and agribusiness manage-

ment. Eleven years after hisUK basketball career ended,Kentucky elected him Com-missioner of Agriculture in2003. He was re-elected toanother four-year term in2007.

Despite spending sevenyears in state government,some are skeptical of his ex-perience, but Farmer said hewill be prepared when theelection arrives.

“You can always learnmore about state govern-ment,” he said. “My record ascommissioner speaks for itsself though.”

Williams defended hisrunning mate, saying that

Farmer is a unique politicianwho has tremendous abilityand potential.

“Not every athlete at UKreceives a double major,”Williams said. “I hope every-body underestimates him be-cause he’s always been un-derestimated.”

Born in Burksville, DavidWilliams has served in theGeneral Assembly since1985. His first two yearswere in the House, then heentered the Senate in 1987.He has been Senate presidentsince January 2000 after Re-publicans gained a majorityin that chamber for the first

A question and answer session with some-one high in the U.S. government is not theeveryday occurrence for college students. But,several UK students got that opportunityWednesday when Suresh Kumar came to cam-pus.

After a short opening address, Kumar, As-sistant Secretary of Commerce and DirectorGeneral of the U.S. and Foreign CommercialService, gave students time to ask him ques-tions about the global marketplace and interna-tional jobs.

In order to get jobs in the internationalmarketplace, Kumar encouraged students tospecialize their tasks and abilities and to focuson the regions where they want to work.

“The reality of today’s world, though, isspecialization,” Kumar said.

Carey Cavanaugh, director of the PattersonSchool of Diplomacy and International Com-merce, said he wanted Kumar’s visit to be a“give and take” session for the students.

“The nice thing was that it wasn’t aspeech,” Cavanaugh said.

Cavanaugh said the crowd was made up ofPatterson School students, law students, busi-ness students and other undergraduates.

Leo Weisberger, political science junior,was one of those other undergraduates.

"Going the Distance" wants to bea chick flick.

It also wants to be a Judd Apa-tow comedy.

This makes for an uneasy hybrida relationship movie in which the f-bomb gets dropped about once aminute and the screen is dotted withbare derrieres (male).

Romance and raunch can cohabitpeacefully Apatow did it in "KnockedUp" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" butit's harder than it looks. Here directorNanette Burstein struggles to make itseem effortless.

She's not helped by Geoff LaT-ulippe's screenplay, which deliverssome funny scenes but hasn't a clueabout how to resolve the situation itsets up.

Record label agent Garrett (JustinLong) and aspiring newspaper re-porter Erin (Drew Barrymore) meet

cute in a New York watering hole (heinterrupts her sure-to-be-a-recordgame of Centipede), fall into bed andinto each other's lives.

They agree to make this just asummer fling Erin's internship at aManhattan daily soon will end, andshe'll be going back to Stanford forgraduate work (paying newspaperjobs being few and far between). Butyou can't stop love.

"Going the Distance" is aboutkeeping the flame alive when you're2,500 miles apart. Late-night phonecalls, e-mails, a disastrous attempt atphone sex ... nothing is as good asactually being in the presence of yourbeloved.

If only Erin could get a full-timejob on a Big Apple newspaper.

Barrymore and Long (a real-lifeon-and-off-again item) make for ex-tremely likable screen presences and

are deft comic actors.Of course, each gets the obligato-

ry sidekick. For Erin it's her married,uptight, germophobic big sister(Christina Applegate); for Garrett it'sa couple of Apatow-ish guy pals, onea sardonic realist played by JasonSudeikis, the other an out-of-it room-mate played by Charlie Day ("It's Al-ways Sunny in Philadelphia") whosemain thrill is providing musical ac-companiment to Garrett and Erin'slovemaking.

time in history.After much experience in

state government, Williamsbelieves the state is adriftand in need of a positiveagenda centered around jobs.

“That will move this stateforward and put us in compe-tition with the other states,”Williams said. “Especiallythose states in the south thathave been far more success-ful than we have been in cre-ating jobs and making pros-perity happen.”

Despite confidence inFarmer, the Williams-Farmercampaign faces skepticism.Democratic politicial profes-sional Dale Emmons said hebelieves Williams, a UKgraduate, put Farmer on histicket for his name, not his

legislative prowess.“Richie Farmer is a bona

fide celebrity,” he said. “Hehas earned measured loyaltyfrom all of Kentucky. Peopleknow his name.”

Emmons said thatFarmer’s personality differsgreatly from Williams’. Hedescribed Williams’ leader-ship style as combative andconfrontational, but saidFarmer’s charismatic atti-tude and basketball pedigreemay mask Williams’ behav-ior.

“He put Farmer on histicket to give his campaign vi-ability,” Emmons said. “DavidWilliams wants to distract thediscussion from him.”

John David Dyche, acolumnist for The Courier-Journal in Louisville, hadmore confidence in the cam-paign.

“It’s a solid ticket,” hesaid. “Williams is skilled

politician and Farmer is aproven vote-getter.”

Dyche said that Farmer’sstardom will attract manyvotes, but that is not his onlycontribution to the campaign.Williams put Farmer on theticket to get votes and cleanup Kentucky, Dyche said.

To get more than just UKBasketball fan votes, Farmerwill have to demonstratewhat he can do in office, UKjournalism professor AlCross said.

“He’ll have to prove amodicum of knowledge towin this,” Cross said.

Like Dyche and Emmon,Cross said that Farmer willattract many votes thanks tohis glory days at UK.

“Kentuckians like to berepresented by someone whothey are proud of,” Crosssaid. “Richie Farmer is aKentucky icon. His pedigreeis mythical.”

Wheels said. "First off, wedon’t sell anything, and sec-ondly, we teach how to fixproblems.”

Since it began in 2004,Wildcat Wheels has contin-ued to grow, improve andreevaluate their program. Pre-viously, they were limited bybeing in one place all thetime, said Beckmeyer, but tosolve this problem, the pro-gram has created a mobilebike shop that will come todorm lobbies to teach stu-dents on Tuesday nights.

Starting Sept. 9, the pro-gram will offer bi-weeklyclinics that provide students

with the opportunity to learnhow to repair bikes. Studentswill be taught skills from fix-ing the breaks to installing aheadset.

“We are reworking howthe shop is run to give us abetter opportunity to teachand make it more fluid,” RickWagner, the designer andworkshop teacher said.“Every bike means one caroff the road and fewer gallonsbeing burned.”

Wagner said his goal is togain one bike rider at eachworkshop, which will be heldevery other Thursday from 5-6 p.m. in the basement ofBlazer Hall.

“The workshops are madepossible by a grant from thePaula Nye Memorial Bicy-

clist and Pedestrian EducationGrant.," Beckmeyer said."The Paula Nye Grant pro-gram is administered by theKentucky Bicycle and Bike-way Commission and is fund-ed entirely by citizen contri-butions made by purchasingKentucky’s ‘Share the Road’specialty license plate.”

Beckmeyer is confidentthat the benefits of cyclingwill draw more UK studentsto ride.

“The bicycle is the mostversatile form of transporta-tion on UK’s campus," Beck-meyer said. "They are clean-er, cheaper, healthier andfaster. This will be a goodyear for Wildcat Wheels.”

Robert Haven’s office isnot the typical place youwould visit for office hours.It’s crammed into a room fullof tables covered in sewingmachines, irons, fabrics andaccessories.

The help Haven offers stu-dent vistiors doesn’t come inthe form of working out anequation. Haven helps byteaching a student how to getthe thread off their sewingmachine or showing them howto traditionally embroider andembellish fabric.

Haven is the costumetechnician for UK’s TheatreDepartment. He says he is acostume technician, not to beconfused with a costume de-signer.

“I don’t draw pretty pic-tures. I make the clothes to fitthe actors that look like thepictures. It’s not an uncom-mon misconception,” Havensaid.

He describes his role inthe Theatre Department as“the middle person betweenthe designer’s and director’sidea of what the clothesshould look like, and actuallygetting them on the actorsand making them comealive.”

Haven’s professional re-sume includes four certificatecourses at the Royal Schoolof Needlework and a profes-sional course at Lesage ,which he described as “a pre-eminent couture embroideryhouse in Paris.”

But these kinds of oppor-tunities do not come withoutmore modest experience.Haven taught the eighth gradefor 16 years in New Hamp-shire. While there, he got in-volved in school plays.There was no one tomake costumes forthe students so hetaught himselfhow to sew.

“I looked atmy mother’s 1981Singer sewing machineand said, ‘All right machine,we’re gonna do this,’” Haven

said. He then went to Emerson

College to get his graduate de-gree in school and communitytheatre. He ran a children’s the-atre until he decided he wantedto become more involved withcostuming. He earned his Mas-ter of Fine Arts degree at theUniversity of Delaware in cos-tume construction and costumeshop management.

Haven’s primary researchwas in Kabuki costume, arti-cles such as kimonos andhakama that are more easilyrecognized as what Mulanwould wear. Haven saidKabuki costume constructioninterested him because “it’s notwritten down in English orJapanese. It’s handed downfrom one generation to the nextwithin certain families thatmake the costumes for Kabukiactors.”

Currently, Haven said histhrust is embroidery.

“You get into a rhythmwith it and it’s very relaxing.I actually have to force my-self to stop.”

Haven has been teachingembroidery and embellish-ment for several years, butsays he seems to be the onlyone teaching these techniques.

This September, two ofhis students from theAcademy of ArtUniversity willbe showcas-ing theirwork.

One, Maria Korovilas,will have her collection inNew York Fashion Week. An-other student will show herwork in the World of Wear-ableArt (WOW) in NewZealand, a display withwhich Haven is familiar.Haven said his favorite piecehe ever created was the onethat was selected for WOWin 2007.

He described the show as“a two hour extravaganza ofglitz and fireworks and god-knows-what on stage.”

Despite his accomplish-ments, Haven still gives cred-it to not only his students, butalso to the people who helpout in his workroom.

“We had one kid whoworked for us the whole yearlast year, and he is actually anaccounting major,” Havensaid. “He worked on everysingle piece that was in ‘ADoll’s House’ and he cut outall of the pajama bottoms for‘The Pajama Game,’ then mycostume construction classput them together.”

To Haven, fashion is atleast partially about learning:“You can’t help but learnsomething when you come in

here.”

When players like StuartHines and Jacob Dufrene ar-rived on campus four yearsago, there were plenty of los-ing streaks facing the UKfootball program that theywanted to break. Among thebiggest was a four-game los-ing streak to archrivalLouisville.

When Hines, a redshirtjunior guard, and Dufrene, asenior linebacker, began theirUK careers, many of theteam’s seniors didn’t knowwhat it was like to beatLouisville. Three years later,most of the veterans don’tknow what it’s like to lose tothe Cardinals.

After losing to Louisvillein each meeting from 2003-06, the Cats turned the streaktaround by upsetting the thenNo. 9 ranked Cardinals 40-34in 2007. Since then, the pro-grams have gone in opposite

directions. Louisville floun-dered under Steve Kragthropefor two more years, while theCats found their way to bowlgames each year.

“I remember it was one ofmy first college games andshowing up at the Cat Walk atCommonwealth my freshmanyear was an unbelievablefeeling,” Dufrene said. “Italked to a bunch of lineback-ers from the past and theytold me ‘You all never lost tothem. You need to keep thestreak going because youknow what it’s like to be thesecond team in Kentucky.’ ”

The game is even biggerthis year because it’s the sea-son opener for both teams. In2007 and 2009, former UKhead coach Rich Brookspushed the game back to letthe Cats get off to an easierstart. Losing the gamedoesn’t just mean dropping akey rivalry matchup, but alsostarting the season in an 0-1hole.

“It being the first game ofthe year does add a littlemore to it,” Hines said. “Youwant to get started off on theright foot. You want to set thepace for the rest of the sea-son.”

The added pressure is fineby the UK players, who havebeen looking forward to thedate all summer. A clock inthe team’s weight room hasbeen counting down the days,hours, minutes and seconds tokickoff all summer.

But there’s still plenty ofuncertainty heading into thegame. For the second consec-utive year, the Cats open theirseason against a team with anew head coach. That meanscoaches and players haveonly bits of film they can usefor scouting, and much of thefilm was based off their deci-sions at their old schools.

New coaches give bothteams extra reason to try andstart the season off right – notthat any extra motivation was

needed for this game.“You want to be the top

team in Kentucky,” Dufrenesaid. “You don’t want to besitting behind anyone else.”

That’s one of the biggestdifferences compared towhen Hines and Dufrene ar-rived at UK in 2007. Buteven with their successagainst Louisville, they won’tbe happy unless they cansweep the Cardinals. Dufrenesaid he doesn’t want to be re-membered as part of a teamthat let a winning streak –and not a losing streak – endagainst their rivals.

“Looking at it back then,people probably would saywe’d (be happy to win) threeout of four games againstLouisville,” Dufrene said.“But we want to get over thathump and get somewherewarm for a bowl game andthe only way we can do thatis with a good start againstLouisville.”

SPECIAL TEAMS PREVIEW

Joe Mansour arrived oncampus with a reputation forlong, long field goals. Thekind of field goals bootedfrom the midfield logo.

“The first day I got here,the team was surroundingme,” Mansour, a freshman,said on Media Day of his in-troduction to UK players.“And I think I kicked a 65-yarder.”

The hype reached levelsrarely seen for kickers. He wasa three-time All-State selectionout of LaGrange (Ga.) HighSchool and made a 59-yarderhis senior year. His rangeseemed almost mythical, espe-cially considering he was sup-posed to replace the departedLones Seiber, who neverkicked a field goal over 50yards in his four-year career.

Supposed to.When the depth chart was

released Monday, Mansourwas unlisted at placekicker –the position most assumed hewould be starting at – andwas the No. 2 punter. He iscurrently battling sophomoreCraig McIntosh for the kick-

off specialist position.The freshman who was

tabbed by UK head coachJoker Phillips as the most like-ly rookie to see playing time,and who “walked around likehe owned the place” from thefirst day, won’t be assumingplacekicking duties, at leastfor the start of the season.

The decision ultimatelycame down to consistency.

"We think that somedayMansour will be a guy whowill line up and kick 60 plusyard field goals,” Phillipssaid. “Today he's not ready todo that. He hasn't been asconsistent as we would like.”

Instead, junior Ryan Tyd-lacka is slated to handle bothkicking and punting duties.He averaged 40 yards per puntlast year, but has only attempt-ed six kicks in his career, all

in 2008. He converted three ofsix with a long of 51 yards.

“He has won (the place-kicking) job and has been themost consistent," Phillips said.

Regardless of who iskicking field goals, Phillipswants special teams to be ateam-wide, and staff-wide, ef-fort.

So far, new special teamscoach Greg Nord has broughtplenty of his own energy tothe unit.

“Juice,” Phillips said iswhat Nord brought to thecoaching staff. “(Juice) is en-ergy, enthusiasm, excitement,passion for this job here.That’s what is going to ruboff on players.”

Nord said he still plans onbeing aggressive in the spe-cial teams effort by usingRandall Cobb and Derrick

Locke in the return game.Last year, Cobb averaged12.8 yards per punt returnwith one touchdown and 26.5yards per kick return. Lockeaveraged 27.8 yards per kickreturn with one touchdown, a100-yard scamper againstLouisville.

"The kicking game, we

think we have two of themost dynamic returners inthis league in Locke andCobb,” Phillips said.

In addition to Cobb andLocke, freshman tailbacksBrandon Gainer and RaymondSanders, freshman cornerbackJerell Priester and junior safetyMychal Bailey have also beenreturning kicks in fall camp.

“(Special teams) will be adifference in a lot of games,and we have to sell that to ourplayers,” Phillips said.

OPINIONS

Sometimes it feels likewe've been participating infire drills since fire was in-vented. And fire was inventeda long time ago.

From early preschooldays when we first toddledinto single file lines withteachers yelling that weshould remain calm untilnow, the concept of evacuat-ing a building in a timelymatter has been drilled intoour heads.

In grade school, the"troublemakers" pulled thefire alarms then lived in fearof being caught. In highschool, we tried with vary-ing levels of success to lookcool and semi-mature whileflocking out of a building en

masse. In college, a fire alarm

pull means getting out ofclass, or it means someonepulled a practical joke onthe poor kids living on thetop floors of Kirwin andBlanding Towers.

Despite all of the practic-ing, would we really knowwhat to do in the event of afire?

When a fire starts oncampus, all of the fire drillpractice may actually workagainst students. Thinkabout it: you've practicedhalf-heartedly evacuating(or, dare I say it, not evacu-ating at all) since the timeyou learned what fire is.

When a large group of

people is contained in onebuilding, fire safety becomesparamount. Combine thenumber of people in anygiven UK building on anygiven day with the fact thatmost of those people arestudents used to blowing offdrills, and you potentiallyhave a little taste of Dante'sinferno.

Though the words "FireSafety Education" may callto mind songs from child-hood about stopping, drop-ping and rolling, it’s vitalthat students know how todeal with fire-related acci-dents on a college campus.

As college students, weknow that campus is full ofpotentially dangerous situa-

tions.Confused chemistry

lab partners, cigarettes(yes,even though campusis smoke-free), and evenpeople wrapping eachother in toilet paper andlighting a match are allpotential campus firestarters.

Last year, 28 fires had tobe extinguished on UK’scampus; it would be foolishnot to educate yourself onwhat to do the next timethings go up in flames.

Fire officials need togive students fire safety in-formation, but much of theresponsibility for a safercampus lies with the stu-dents themselves. Only you

can take that fire drill at 2a.m. on the coldest day ofthe year seriously, or stopthat pyromaniac roommatefrom torching something.

September is Dorm FireSafety Month, the time tolearn evacuation proceduresfor the campus buildingsyou frequent.

Take advantage of thefree educational eventshosted by the Office ofthe Fire Marshal thismonth, and get a free T-shirt in the process.Learn how to use a fireextinguisher because youknow you secretly want-ed to use one during allof those years doing firedrills.
