Times are tough and with a stag-nant economy, forecasts are calling fora steadily slow decline — at least forthe next nine or 10 months, economicsprofessor John Garen said.

This is a realization for UK seniorsand recent graduates. Roughly 90 per-cent of undergraduate and graduate stu-dents are receiving some kind of finan-cial aid, and the number of need-basedaid increased 17 percent from the 2009-10 to 2010-11 school year, said LyndaGeorge, student services director of stu-dent financial aid .

“Unemployment rate is higher thannormal across the board in every demo-graphic,” Garen said. “Most studentswill have to settle for jobs less than ide-al right out of college, but experiencematters a lot for future prospects.”

Reba Carroll, career center seniorassistant director, said having a degreein any field is more likely to get some-one hired in a field he or she wants tobe in than someone without a degree.

“The economy is challenging thesedays, but a college education is a power-ful investment that can pay off,” Carrollsaid. “A degree can put one on track fora fulfilling career rather than on a cycleof dead-end, low-paying jobs.”

The economy has taken a definitetoll on students when it comes to anxi-ety about their future, George said.

“Students worry about being able toafford college and if they will haveenough money to earn their degree,”George said. “If they are able to earntheir degree, they worry about whetherthey will be able to find a job. If theyborrowed loans to attend college, theyworry about finding a job that will givethem enough money in order to live

Student Government programoffers students legal advice

Many students wonderhow to deal with a landlord orwhether or not to fight a speed-ing ticket.

When in doubt, studentscan turn to UK Student Gov-ernment.

Michael Shea Chaney, alocal Lexington attorney, hasbeen helping SG with thesekinds of problems for fiveyears.

“Usually the beginning andend of the year are when moststudents take advantage of theservice because this is the timewhen people start having majorlandlord issues,” Chaney said.“A lot of times people havetrouble getting their depositsback.”

Chaney believes that thelandlord tenant issues havebecome a severe problem and itis time for the city or a landlordtenant agency to becomeinvolved helping UK students.

Once a week, Chaneycomes to campus to meet withstudents. If students can’t make

it, he welcomes them to hisoffice on West Short Street withan appointment.

“We have seen consistentusage by students who havegotten in trouble with the law,said Todd Cox, student affairs

officer, “a lot of internationalstudents especially, that do notunderstand the culture and canbe taken advantage of.”

Chaney said he helps manyinternational students partlybecause they are familiar withthe student service and knowabout the free help they can re-ceive.

These students generallytake legal issues more seriously

than American students. Eitherthey come from a culture wherethese issues don’t come up asoften or they don’t understandwhy they have broken the lawin the first place, he said.

Chaney said he has seeneverything from patent issuesto bankruptcy and divorcequestions.

Whenever the questiondoes not relate to his field ofexpertise he can tell studentswhere to get their best advice.

He does not usually repre-sent students in court, but isavailable to do so if he is hiredseparately from the UK serv-ice.

Micah Fielden, SG presi-dent, said they provide thisservice to help students withtheir problems.

“It stands to represent allstudents when students don’tknow what to do in situations,”he said. “If their financial aid isnot going through or having aproblem in Spanish classbecause of a professor, some-times students don’t know whoto contact so we want to be theones to bridge the gap.”

A new bronze sculpture was added tothe UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital Sept.29 to help contribute to the healing environ-ment.

Jackie Hamilton, UK HealthCare’s di-rector of arts, said the sculpture is part ofthe larger art program.

The purpose of the program is to use artas an inspiration, she said.

“We felt it was an expression of hope andhopefully inspire our patients and families tofeel encouraged,” Hamilton said.

After seeing another edition of thesculpture “Second Breath” at Monroe CarellJr. Children’s hospital at Vanderbilt Univer-sity, UK Hospital decided to acquire an ad-dition for itself.

The sculpture was created by MauriceBlik, a cancer and Holocaust survivor.

“My inspiration stems from my own ex-perience of having looked death in the facebut survived to have a second chance atlife,” Blik said.

LOS ANGELES — During the 1980s,Kenny Loggins wrote hits for so many popu-lar films that many began referring to him asthe “King of the Movie Soundtrack.”

The musician penned tunes for moviesranging from “Caddyshack” to “Top Gun,”though his most recognizable song arguablyremains “Footloose,” the catchy theme to theKevin Bacon dance flick.

On Oct. 14, Paramount is releasing a re-make of “Footloose” — one whose soundtrackincludes a re-tooled version of Loggins’ songfrom country artist Blake Shelton.

At the premiere of the new film Mondayevening, Loggins said he thought Shelton did“a good job” with the updated song, though hetook issue with the way the tune was pro-duced.

“They paid a lot of attention to the originalversion, you can tell. I just think they went a

little bit crazy with the Pro Tools,” he said onthe red carpet.

Loggins said he’s proud of how the “Foot-loose” theme has endured over the years, say-ing it’s “become more like (Chuck Berry’s)‘Johnny B. Goode.’ It’s like a classic rock sta-ple.”

Nowadays, Loggins has been keepingbusy on the oldies circuit: in February, he’llplay a gig with the Glendale (Calif.) Pops Or-chestra, and will make a stop at a casino in In-diana a few nights later.

“It was the only song that actually went toNo. 1 and stayed there a while. And the ticketsfollowed,” he recalled. “Because really, I’vebeen more of a performing act than a record-ing act, so to have a No. 1 song really liftedthat cachet.”

and to pay off their loans.”Many UK students and

recent graduates have ex-pressed their need for loansor a break from school be-cause of economic strife.

“Before taking out loans Iwas working 25 to 30 hours aweek,” communication seniorJohn Buckman said. “I hadband practice most weeknights. I was in school fulltime and then I had band gigson the weekends. I couldn’t

juggle it all.” Buckman said he has tak-

en out about $23,000 worthof federal, unsubsidized andsubsidized loans.

“If you’re independentand have your own taxrecords, I found it’s insanelyeasy to get loans, whichmakes it kind of dangerous,”Buckman said.

The danger lies in payingoff the loans during a time ofeconomical woes, but accord-ing to George, most federalloans have a 10-year repay-ment period.

“Generally students have

a six-month grace period afterthey graduate or after theycease to be enrolled at leasthalf time before they go intorepayment,” George said.

Ashley Crawford, a socialwork senior, received privateloans through a bank.

“I took a year off fromschool and had to start payingback loans in that time,”Crawford said. “I was spend-ing hundreds of dollars amonth to pay back my loansand had to lower my pay-ments because I wasn’t ableto meet them.”

Crawford said she is un-

sure about the future.“I’m having to take out

more loans to finish this year,and I’m scared because Ihave no idea what I plan ondoing when I graduate,”Crawford said.

Josh Bayer, a historygraduate, got his degree thispast May and is currentlywaiting tables to pay off fed-eral loans.

“College is just too ex-pensive and loans are hard topay off,” Bayer said.

Graduate school is be-coming a common trendamong recent UK graduates

because of the lull in the cur-rent market.

Many careers now requireat least a master’s degree,Carroll said.

“Grad school isn’t foreveryone, but a professionaldegree can make the job-seeker more marketable toemployers,” Carroll said.

Carroll said she wouldnever tell a student to dosomething that would simplyguarantee a job or salary,though.

“I’ve known many peoplewho have chosen fields thatthey felt promised job securi-

ty only to find out that it wasnot a good fit for them andthey were miserable,” Carrollsaid. “If an employee is doingwhat she loves, she will benaturally motivated.

“(This) will serve her farbetter; playing it safe is set-ting yourself up for failure.”

All in all, post-secondaryschool is worth the while ofstudents, Garen said.

“College is still a good in-vestment, but it is a long-terminvestment,” Garen said.“Even though there isn’t muchoptimism in the present, thefuture will be brighter.”

that Blik has made. “Although physically put

together over a period of somemonths, the sculpture hastaken a lifetime of experienceto finish,” he said.

Blik came up with the in-

scription under the sculpturethat reads, “the human spiritwill always endure.”

“The message is to con-vey to others the feeling ofexhilaration of realizing thatone had a second chance oflife,” Bilk said. “And as such,I think that the hospital is aparticularly appropriate set-ting.”

Turner Construction Co.,which also built the UK Hos-pital, donated the funds for“Second Breath.”

“I think it will bring afeeling of hope,” Hamiltonsaid. “It reminds me of thephoenix rising from death,adversity, pain to a new life, asecond chance with a re-newed appreciation of life.”

After months of prepara-tion, the play “The MonkeyKing” will make its openingThursday at the Guignol The-atre. Derived from a series ofAsian folk tales, “The Mon-key King” was devised andmade by students to be per-formed for students.

Performed in conjunctionwith the Year of China Initia-tive at UK, “The MonkeyKing” also highlights the im-portance the Theatre Depart-ment wants to make on howthese plays in the Rebels ActOut series pertain to studentsand their lives.

Robert Haven, costumetechnologist for “The Mon-key King”, said the

connection to students isbased upon the fact that themonkey king will travel andhave adventures that appealto students. Students are onan adventure themselves.

Running for two week-ends, “The Monkey King” isopen to the public for $10.

“For the price of goingwith your friend to Starbucksand just enjoying one drink,”said Nancy Jones, chair of theTheatre Department, “youcan watch an amazing per-formance put on by yourpeers.”

Jones said that there are

parts of theatre that can neverbe experienced from aYouTube video or a movie.

Theatre requires a “cal-iber of talent,” “quality,” andis “unique.”

“Theatre leaves a lastingimpression,” Jones said,“and you get to breathe thesame air as the actors in frontof you.”

Albert Hardin, lightingdesigner for “The MonkeyKing”, gives a slightly alteredyet maintained look on the-atre.

“[Theatre] is live, notcanned and everybody’s takeon it is different,” Hardinsaid.

“Not only is the experi-ence different for the individ-ual, but each

night is different as well,”he said.

“The Monkey King” is aplay that director JenniferGoodlander wants to “push

the envelope” with. Shepicked her actors based uponthis sense to create

a “collaborative” and“amazing” performance foreveryone who attends.

Theatre is “richer, morerewarding, more interactive,and more dynamic”

than most forms of enter-tainment, said Hardin.

“The Monkey King” pre-mieres Thursday at 7:30 p.m.in the Guignol Theatre.

UK Alumni gives back to hisformer school with style.

Former UK student and soc-cer player Beatty Lee London isliving a dream that started 10years ago. The UK alumnus re-cently put his finishing toucheson his line of state polo shirts,designed for people to rep theiruniversity and to create scholar-ships.

Stolo —“state” and “polo”combined — are polo shirts withthe shape of states stitched onthe left side and the Stolo logoon the right sleeve. The shirts are

available in different colors repre-senting different schools, likeKentucky, Georgia, New York,Texas and Florida.

London, the main creator ofStolo Inc., said the idea started10 years when he was a gradu-ate student living with his friendRenauld Davis, who eventuallybecame his business partner withthis idea.

“’When I become rich, I’ll havemy own company and I’ll call itStolo,’ I used to tell my room-mates,” London said. “Now, Ididn’t become rich, but it was in

2009 that I started thinking seri-ously about it again and could fi-nally make it happen.”

London and his partners Davisand Chase Feldman don’t justwant to represent Kentucky instyle, they also want to help aca-demically, he said.

Each year, 10 percent of theprofit from Stolo will be donatedto the UK Alumni Fayette CountyClub Scholarship Fund, Londonsaid, who is also on the board ofdirectors for the club.

“I played soccer here, I loveUK. It’s an easy way for me to

give back,” London said.“People helped me out. It

feels good to be able tohelp somebody else.”

Annually the fundgives away an aver-age of three scholar-ships to FayetteCounty Schoolstudents, and thisDecember will bethe first timeStolo Inc. will becontributing tothe fund.

Stolo Inc.held a boothpromoting theshirts last Thurs-

day at Fitness 19on Richmond

Road, during theirmember apprecia-

tion party whereKenny “Sky” Walker

was in appearance. Walker, a former UK

basketball star and re-tired New York Knick, wore

his Stolo, gave autographs andtook pictures with members and

fans. “I am looking forward to it, I

think it’s going to be great,”Walker said about the clothingline.

London said he hopes Stolowill not only have a positive effectlocally, but also make change na-tionally. Stolo shirts are entirelyproduced in the U.S.A., attempt-ing to create more jobs and op-portunities at home, he said.

“Our economy is failing, so wehave to take it in our ownhands.” London said.

“I like the concept ‘made inAmerica,’ it’s a good project tohelp bring some attention.” Walk-er said. “If I’m in New York, I’llwear NY Stolo, if I’m in Kentucky,I’ll wear Kentucky. It’s nice tohave options, you can rep yourschool or your state in differentcolor schemes.”

Walker said in addition to theversatility Stolo provides for fansand students, he also likes theeducational empowerment thecompany provides.

“I really like the fact that theywill help create scholarships,” hesaid. “That’s very positive —creating opportunities for kidswho are not as fortunate finan-cially.”

London, who holds a businessdegree from UK, said he alwayswanted to be an entrepreneur.

“Follow your passion.” Londonsaid. “It’s so much more impor-tant in life, you want to enjoywhat you do everyday”.

Stolos are currently availableonline at www.Stoloinc.com, andmore info can also be found@StoloInc on Facebook andTwitter.

On a hot Wednesday af-ternoon outside of the Chasebank building downtown, UKsenior Robert Wilhelm, a phi-losophy and secondary Eng-lish education major, sits onthe sidewalk across from hisnewfound sleeping quar-ters— a bench called Casa deWilhelm.

Occupy Lexington iscomprised of a wide variety ofpeople and was inspired byOccupy Wall Street, a move-ment that began in July toprotest issues surrounding theeconomy.

While the Occupy Lex-ington protest has certainlynot reached the level of Oc-cupy Wall Street in NewYork, Wilhelm has been oneof the few people campingovernight.

“I came down Fridaynight and have been here eversince,” Wilhelm said.

While some may have

slightly different reasons forprotesting than others, themessage seems to be thesame as the one that spreadby Occupy Wall Street: weare the 99 percent, and wewant change.

“I feel strongly about in-tergenerational injustices likeclimate change, racism, classi-cism and the denigration ofthe education system in Amer-ica,” Wilhelm said. “That’swhy I’m studying to be a highschool English teacher.”

Wilhelm, a sixth-yearsenior at UK, faces the sameissue that worries many cur-rent college students acrossthe country.

With a suffering econo-my, jobs are becoming harderand harder to get, and for col-lege students about to gradu-ate, that idea is very disheart-ening.

“With the way things areright now, it’s better to stay inschool,” Wilhelm said.

Harris Minstein, a psy-chology freshman, is also dis-

satisfied with the current jobmarket and hopes for a signif-icant change by the time hegraduates.

“I want to be a teacher,”Minstein said. “As it sits rightnow, teachers are one of thelowest paying jobs in themarket. I don’t want to bescared that it’s a poor deci-sion for my happiness.”

Ever since Occupy WallStreet began to pick upsteam, similar protests havebeen popping up all acrossthe country as people who areunable to travel to New Yorkmake their own efforts toshow solidarity with the pro-testors on Wall Street.

“If I can’t be on WallStreet, I should participatewhere I can,” Wilhelm said.“It was a good chance to ef-fect a positive change in theworld.”

In recent days, actions bythe New York Police Depart-ment have garnered negativeattention, with many assertingabuse of power towards the

Wall Street protestors. For Occupy Lexington,

however, police have beennothing but respectful.

“They have been amaz-ing,” Wilhelm said. “They’vebeen extremely helpful andsuper supportive. There wasan evening when an officercame and shared a story withus. They stop being a copand start being a person whohappens to be in uniform.”

For UK students, takingpart in a protest in downtownLexington while balancingschoolwork can be a difficulttask. Minstein, however, hasmanaged to do just that.

“I get out of class at threeand come down here andprotest,” Minstein said. “Atnight when things calmdown, I go home and do myhomework.”

Minstein, who has beenattending Occupy Lexington

since Monday, plans on goingback every day.

“I think it’s amazing,”Minstein said. “I’m glad itstarted on Wall Street. I wishI could be there, but I’ll makedo with what I got.”

Nathan Owen, an inte-grated strategic communica-tion junior, has also been at-tending the protest as muchas he can despite an increasein his schoolwork.

“I’ve been real busy late-ly with tests, but to me, thisjust as important as schoolright now,” Owen said.

As protestors continue tomore effectively organize Oc-cupy Lexington, some havebeen critical of the protestand its direction.

“They’ve been trying toplay us off, but they will seethat we are serious,” Owensaid. “This does affect you.We’re fighting for our future;this is important.”

Nash Whaley, a fresh-man Russian major, is

protesting what he sees as anunfair system as wealth in-equality in America contin-ues to grow.

“I resent that 1 percentof the U.S. population con-trols a large portion of thecountry’s wealth,” Whaleysaid. “I’m protesting the fi-nancial institution’s influ-ence over government.”

Whaley, who has beenattending Occupy Lexingtonthroughout the week, wentdown on Friday and stayeduntil 3 a.m. Saturday.

“I’m going to be in andout of here as much as Ican,” Whaley said. “I have afeeling we’re not going any-where anytime soon.”

Protestors at OccupyLexington plan on continu-ing the protest indefinitely.

While the protest is cur-rently located outside theChase building, Wilhelmsaid there have been talks tomove to other locations asmore people join.

Fleet Foxes took theLouisville Palace stageWednesday night and sweptaway the audience muchlike the bands’ music firstwashed over me. The Seat-tle group’s indie harmoniesand whimsical guitar riffshave a quaint charm thateasily captivates your atten-tion and tapping toes.

The band’s first self-ti-tled album came into mypossession and never wasset aside. Song after song Ifound myself getting lost inthe vocals of Robin Pec-knold while the band har-

monized, creating thisfrenzy of folk sound thatnever really followed anytrue pattern. It’s like Cros-by, Still, Nash and Younghad a love child with theGrateful Dead. And, let’sjust face it, who wouldcomplain about that off-spring?

Fleet Foxes’ second al-bum, “Helplessness Blues”was released in May andremained in my iTuneswithout any plays for quitesome time. You see, I knewthis story all too well. FleetFoxes was my Woody from“Toy Story”. I grew soclose, shared so many mo-ments, felt like nothingcould possibly top this con-nection. This second albumwould soon be Buzz and Ijust wasn’t ready to acceptthat. But I did.

I became addicted. Mylife was in song. Every-thing I experienced sound-ed like that album. Eachstep I took was in time withJoshua Tillman’s powerfulpulse on the drums during“Sim Sala Bim.” The windwhipped the freshly fallenleaves of autumn aroundmy dancing body duringthe chorus of “Lorelai.” Mylife was confined in thepicturesque world of asnow globe as the hands ofFleet Foxes tipped it upsidedown.

And as much as I hatedthis vision I’d become,singing and gallivantingdown the street like one ofthose dancing kids from“Glee,” I just couldn’t con-tain myself.

Fleet Foxes is just thatgood.

Fleet Foxes has you dancing in the leaves

How wouldyou like to be ableto join a conversa-tion, but not be al-lowed to speak?

How wouldyou like to be bornin a country that isnot recognized bythe United Na-tions?

How would youlike to be told thateveryone is createdequal, besides you?

How would you like to live in aland that your people made up thevast majority of the population for thelast 1,200 years, but you were still nota state in the United Nations? Youcontinue to get pushed to the side andignored.

That is where Palestine is at to-day, and, regrettably, that is where itis going to be tomorrow. The issue ofPalestine becoming its own state isfar from being settled. Palestine isable to join meetings of the U.N., butis not allowed to give its input, beingforced into observer status. I believein a two state solution.

The question is not whether we aregoing to have a two-state nation, butwhen? The most critical question isabout how. Time is running out. As weturn on the TV and see numerous up-risings throughout the world, we cansee that patience is running out, glob-ally.

It saddens me that there is a dis-pute over Palestine gaining statehoodin a day and age where we fought tobe recognized as all being equal. Yetwe are all facing the challenge of

simply being recognized as a state. No matter the outcome, the peo-

ple will be divided. This is an ex-tremely complex issue that will, un-fortunately, be a challenge that willhave global ramifications. One ofAmerica’s most important allies in theArab world, Saudi Arabia, has alreadywarned the U.S. not to use its vetopower or it will have to face the con-sequences.

This issue is a matter of moral po-sition versus the best interest. Thus, asAbraham Lincoln said, “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”

We can only hope that all the keyplayers will be wearing the face ofhumanity.

UN approval a matter ofmorals vs. interest

Palestine needspeace first forUN statehood

As the independencemovement of Palestine comesto a climax, on Sept. 23,Palestinian President Mah-moud Abbas presented thestate’s bid for independenceto the United Nations Gener-al Assembly. The president’sappeal was greeted by the ap-plause of the General Assem-bly. Although the U.S. nearlyalways advocates home-ruleand democracy, in this case,the U.S. is not fully support-ing Palestine.

The U.S. has taken a vo-cally different stance on theissue from many of its U.N.counterparts. The U.S. doesnot support the Palestinianbid for independence. Ten-sions between Israel andPalestine have sharply risenover the past several monthsand further tensions continueto mount. Just last week, Is-rael’s Prime Minister Ben-jamin Netanyahu announceda plan for the construction of1,100 new Jewish homes insoutheast Jerusalem, the landPalestinians claim to be theirfuture capital.

President Barack Obamafirmly believes that Palestineshould enjoy the status ofstatehood. In talking to theGeneral Assembly last week,he stated his beliefs on thesubject: “One year ago, Istood at this podium and Icalled for an independent

Palestine.”On the morning of Sept.

23, Obama reiterated thesebeliefs: “I believed then andI believe now that the Pales-tinian people deserve a stateof their own.”

However, Obama alsobelieves that peace is neededin the region first. “A genuinepeace can only be realizedbetween Israelis and Pales-tinians themselves,” he said.

According to both Israeliofficials and Obama, peace isneeded first before a sover-eign Palestinian state can beformed. This statement formsits basis on the belief that se-curing the country’s inde-pendence would ultimatelyundermine peace efforts inthe region, specifically withIsrael.

The official bid for state-hood is currently under in-tense debate within the U.N.Security Council; all signs in-dicate the U.S. vetoing thebid.

The U.S. has taken avocally differentstance on the issueth many of its U.N.counterparts.

PAGE 6 | Thursday, October 6, 2011

As the second half ofUK’s game against LouisianaState was just moments fromstarting, UK junior quarter-back Morgan Newton foundout he wouldn’t be.

Instead it was freshmanquarterback Maxwell Smithwho came in to lead the Cats.

Before the change wasmade, Newton entered thehalf with his team trailingLSU 14-0. He had completedonly two of his 11 attemptedpasses for 12 yards, all onone reception by junior widereceiver La’Rod King.

Smith’s gig was shortlived, however, as Newton re-turned during the 4th quarter.

“We just thought weneeded a spark and wanted togive Morgan a chance to sitback and watch the gamefrom a distance,” head coachJoker Phillips said.

Rest assured, it seemed asif Phillips was trying to bringthat spark about in the middleof a rainstorm.

Smith’s performance con-sisted of one completion onfive attempts for only nineyards while appearing to be apiece of fresh meat for theTigers on a couple of blitzesduring the 3rd quarter. One ofthose scary encounters led toa fumble and a Tiger touch-down.

Regardless of if Phillipsdecided to go about thischange due to the ever-grow-ing pressure from the fanbase, it was the wrong choiceat the wrong time.

Entering the game, UKwas nothing but an underdog.Expectations were low andonly positives could havecome from the match-up withthe nations No. 1 team in ahostile environment.

Now, things could havedrastically taken a turn for theworse, I do believe.

Newton, who has startedeach game this season, hasworked well with what he hashad. His help, which has beenminimal, has for much of theseason only come in the formof King.

Rather than possibly help-ing Newton or even Smith,the Cats now have a quarter-back whose confidence theymay have damaged.

Drops, drops and moredrops have been the end re-sult of many of his passes.Some blame that on coachingand others on skill. Neverthe-less, it doesn’t help Newtonmove the ball down the field.

Newton’s urgency tomake plays has resulted in in-creased quarterback runs thisseason. Sometimes it hasbeen successful and at othermoments it has ended with aloss of significant yardage.

Another aspect of New-ton’s troubles has come fromthe five guys on the offen-sive line who are supposedto protect him and have

helped lead to some of thoseattempted scrambles byNewton.

At this point in the sea-son, Newton has beensacked 17 times by the op-posing team. If Smith is in-cluded, the UK offensiveline has given up 21 totalsacks. That total ties Akronfor 118th of 120 possiblespots in the NCAA footballbowl subdivision.

Understandably, injurieshampered the performance ofthe line at the beginning ofthe season forcing some inex-perienced players to have tofill the void of veterans likesenior offensive tackle BillyJoe Murphy and junior centerMatt Smith, but now thatthey are getting back to form,the results have yet tochange.

Compared to the Cats’other opponents, the SouthCarolina defense may fall atier below LSU, so the pres-sure is yet to let up.

If ever there was a timefor Joker Phillips and offen-sive coordinator RandySanders to help build notonly the confidence of New-ton, but the team as a whole,then it is this coming Satur-day.

The Cats are an inferiorteam compared to many oftheir SEC foes. While fansmay not be able to embracethat, Phillips needs to righthis ship with his signal-caller while UK worksthrough these growingpains.

Quarterback inconsistency hurts UK

The UK women’s soccerteam returned last weekendwith the highest RPI rankingin program history.

After beating conferencefoe Alabama 4-1 two weeksago, the first RPI of the seasondebuted with the Cats ranked12th. Wednesday, the rankingswere updated, with UK ranked10th, eclipsing the record markof the previous week.

At 9-3, they are the 2ndhighest SEC team behind No.2 Florida. According to a UKMedia Relations press re-lease, the Cats are 5-2 againstteams in the RPI top-100.

“We knew this trip wasgoing to be difficult,” headcoach Jon Lipsitz said, “But, Itry to equate everything to theway we play. If there is astrong wind I like to play into

it in the first half, then makeour opportunities in the sec-ond.

“Likewise, I told the teamwe’ll play ‘into the wind’ onthe road then come home andhave it behind us. They per-severed, and our high RPIshows that.”

Two days after the rank-ings first emerged, UK wonat South Carolina 1-0, thefirst win over the Game-cocks since 2006. It was the9th win of the season, oneshy of equaling last year’stotal.

In a season that has beenfilled with firsts for thisyoung program, the Cats con-tinue to exceed even theirown expectations.

“We talk about not gettingcaught up on what we’vedone,” said sophomore for-ward Caitlin Landis, whoscored three goals on the road

trip. “We can’t let up. If westart fresh and continue tolearn every day, that willshow up on the field.”

After a loss at No. 2Florida Saturday, UK has re-turned home for a four-gamehome stand beginning Fridaynight against Arkansas (4-8-0). Of those four games,three are against teams witheight or more wins. Andwith all other remaininggames against teams withlosing records, the Cats don’tplan on slowing their mo-mentum.

“Despite their record,Arkansas is a dangerousteam,” coach Lipsitz said.“Then we get three teamswith very high RPI’s. It’s adifficult stretch but as longas we work hard and keepgetting better every day,we’ll be right there in theend.”
