UK and Lexington offi-cials discussed the economicimpact of new dorms Mon-day, including New CentralResidence Hall, saying theycould create about 2,900 jobsand generate about $4 millionin local and state taxes.

Construction is underway on New Central Resi-dence Hall on what was Hag-gin Field. The dorm will in-clude 601 beds and house a

living-learning communityfor honors students.

UK President Eli Capi-louto said the project is partof the Kentucky Promise,which puts focus on under-graduate education.

“We set this as a top pri-ority because our own re-search tells us living on cam-pus — building communities— helps inspire the mind,build friendships and fuel cre-ativity,” Capilouto said. “Thestudents who live on campussucceed at much higher rates

than those who do not.”In addition, he said the

project — and others thatmay follow when the Board

of Trustees considers Phase IIin October — helps the cityalong with the university bybringing jobs and economic

development.The first part of Phase II

would include five more resi-dence halls with 2,098 totalbeds.

The current central cam-pus construction, Capiloutosaid, brings 509 direct and in-direct jobs to Lexington andrepresents nearly $16 millionin expenditures, $500,000 instate taxes and $260,000 inlocal taxes. The residence hallis due to open in August2013. Combined with futurephases, 2,900 jobs total couldbe created, officials say.

“We proceeded with thisendeavor not simply to buildnew buildings,” Capiloutosaid. “We did this because of

what will happen within thesefacilities.”

Education Realty Trust, aMemphis, Tenn.-based firm,is constructing the residencehall. The public-private part-nership is the first of its kindat a university the size of UK.

“Our public-private part-nership with UK is makingimpact across the UnitedStates,” said RandyChurchey, president of Edu-cation Realty Trust. “We re-ceive media calls almost daily... and also calls from manyuniversities wanting to knowwhat they’re doing at theUniversity of Kentucky andwhether it makes sense at

UK For Unity and Service InOur Neighborhood, commonlyknown as FUSION, drew 1,171 vol-unteers in its 10th year Monday.

FUSION, the largest one-dayservice event in Kentucky, sends stu-dents around Lexington to help withsuch tasks as painting and yard work.

This year, students could choosefrom 91 sites, including the RonaldMcDonald House, YMCA and Habi-tat for Humanity.

Gina Fioretti, a biology fresh-man, spent her afternoon cleaning upDogwood Trail, a Lexington greenspace near Harrodsburg Road andMan o’ War Boulevard.

“It was a lot of work, but it wasdefinitely worth it,” she said. “It feelsgood to work on something that fam-ilies can use.”

Justin Penny, a biology and clas-sics senior, participated in FUSIONfor the fourth time. This year heserved as a site leader at the Ameri-can Red Cross, where he facilitatedthe organization of disaster-reliefsupplies.

“I served as a positive, engagingrole model and helped field questionsand spread the spirit of service oncampus,” Penny said.

He is also a member of the na-tional co-ed service fraternity AlphaPhi Omega and encourages participa-tion in service not only at FUSION,but all year long.

To celebrate the event’s 10th an-niversary, UK President Eli Capi-louto stopped by to applaud volun-teers..

“We really wanted to highlightthat it was the 10th anniversary of

FUSION because it’s unusual tosee events like this last this long,” bi-ology junior and FUSION AssociateDirector Burhan Johar said.

T-shirts featuring FUSION statis-tics from the past decade were givento participants after volunteer workwas completed.

An after-party took place on theJohnson Center fields, where stu-dents could wind down with freefood and games. Service organiza-tions were also present so studentscould explore other volunteer op-tions.

LOS ANGELES — The Grammy Awards aregetting cozier with country music in 2012. TheRecording Academy revealed Tuesday morn-ing that the nominations for the 2013 GrammyAwards telecast will be unveiled in a prime-time special to be held for the first timeNashville. The concert/ press conference willbe staged in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arenaand air live on CBS on Dec. 5 at 10 p.m. EST.

This marks the first time the cumbersome-ly titled CBS special “Grammy NominationsConcert Live: Countdown to Music’s BiggestNight” will be held outside of Los Angeles inits five-year history. The Recording Academy,the industry body that hosts the GrammyAwards, launched the special in 2008 to helpdrum up excitement for the telecast of theFebruary award show.

The Grammy Awards remain parked inLos Angeles, and will be broadcast live fromStaples Center on CBS on Feb. 10 at 8 p.m.EST. Both the Grammy Awards and “GrammyNominations Concert Live: Countdown toMusic’s Biggest Night” will be tape-delayedfor West Coast audiences.

“This announcement further validates thatNashville is a destination on the rise, and ourrich musical heritage has once again put us onthe national stage,” said Nashville Mayor KarlDean in a statement. “This is tremendous

news for Nashville, and we look forward toworking with the Recording Academy to en-sure the show’s success.”

Typically, the hourlong nominations con-cert features about five musical performances.The 2011 edition hosted the likes of LadyGaga and country stars Sugarland. The“Grammy Nominations Concert Live” hasstruggled to find an audience, averagingaround 5 million viewers, compared to nearly40 million for the 2012 Grammy Awards.

Yet country makeovers have workedwonders for the careers of a number of popstars, and perhaps a little twang will work itsmagic on the “Grammy Nominations Con-cert Live.” This year alone, Lionel Richie’s“Tuskegee” has sold just shy of 1 millioncopies since its early 2012 release, accordingto Nielsen SoundScan. Previously, the likesof Darius Rucker, Jewel, Kid Rock and BonJovi have been embraced by Nashville afterreleasing albums with country overtones.

The last artist associated with country mu-sic to win the Grammy album of the yearaward was Taylor Swift, whose 2008 album“Fearless” was a brisk marriage of teen-popand country flourishes. Prior to Swift, the Dix-ie Chicks won Grammys’ top prize for 2006album “Taking the Long Way.”

their respective campuses.”The project comes after

Capilouto, who is beginninghis second year at the universi-ty’s helm, put a focus on un-dergraduate education at a uni-versity that has in recent yearspromoted the Top 20 BusinessPlan mandated by the Ken-tucky Legislature. The planaimed to make UK a top 20 re-search institution by 2020.

UK Student GovernmentPresident Stephen Bilas saidabout 85 percent of studentswill apply for the 600 modernbeds in the four newest exist-ing residence halls. He saidmost of the thousands put onwaiting lists for those dormsare turned down.

“The Kentucky Promise isan aggressive plan that seeksto make tremendous improve-ments to the campus andmake the first step towardsolving a problem that hasbeen disregarded for far toolong,” Bilas said.

Board of Trustees ViceChair Pam May said whenBoard members toured cam-pus facilities last year, theyknew they had to transformthe living and learning spaceson campus to enhance under-graduate education.

“If we are to make thatgoal happen, the revitalizationof our campus infrastructuresmust happen now, not later,”May said.

However, the jobs createdin the near future shouldn’t bea key reason for building thenew dormitories, saidChristopher Bollinger, a Gat-ton endowed professor ofeconomics and director of theCenter for Business and Eco-nomics Research.

After looking at the taxprojections calculated by UKand EdR for the first two con-struction phases, Bollingersaid the 4.58 multiplier couldbe considered high and mayoverstate the tax revenues andother calculations.

“Projects get done in thecity with some regularity,”Bollinger said. “If you don'tbelieve me, walk over toBroadway and Bolivar andlook around. ... So one has toquestion as to whether if ithadn't been a partnership withUK, somebody else wouldhave done it.”

He said jobs would havelikely been created throughanother housing project if UKhadn’t partnered with EdR onnew dorms.

The value of having newresidence hall space is high,

though, he said.“It may improve retention

rates, it may improve studenteducational outcomes and itlikely will increase studentcapacity at the university,”Bollinger said. “All three ofthese things are very positiveeconomically to the city andthe state through improvedworker productivity and earn-ings.”

But, he said, “I thinkthey’re sort of overstating theoverall impact a little bit. Thatmultiplier seems a little highto me.”

However, opinions varyamong economists, he said.

“But this really isn't thevalue of these buildings,”Bollinger said, “and there'sreally positive important val-ue to these buildings ...

We don't build buildingsin order to create jobs rightnow. We're building these res-idence halls because havingstudents on campus is reallygood for their educationaloutcome.”

Former UK Vice Chan-cellor Robert G. Zumwinkledied Aug. 9 at the age of 91.

His cause of death washeart failure.

Zumwinkle arrived at theuniversity in 1970 as vicepresident of student affairsand, after changes within theadministration, was namedvice chancellor of student af-fairs.

He was an ardentspokesman for civil rights,equality for all and was in-volved with the AmericanCivil Liberties Union, saidJohn Herbst, the studentservices executive director.

“He cared for his staff

very deeply,” Herbst said.In 1971, Zumwinkle cre-

ated the Office of MinorityAffairs.

“Many people know ofBob because of the Office ofMinority Affairs,” said JakeKarnes, the director of theDisability Resource Center,“but he also created the Dis-ability Resource Center.”

During his time at UK,protests from students werecommon around campus be-cause of the Vietnam War.

“He promoted the rightsof students,” Karnes said. “Hewas there to protect theirrights and listen to them.

“He was a wonderful lis-tener.”

The Robert G. Zumwin-kle Student Rights Award at

UK was named for Zumwin-kle to promote those on cam-pus who value and upholdstudent rights.

“He was a true gentle-men who was soft spokenwith a respectful authority,”Karnes said. “He was a fineindividual.”

Even after retirement in1986, Zumwinkle attendeduniversity functions regularly.

Zumwinkle is survived byhis daughter, Mary Wilson ofCalifornia; sons DavidZumwinkle of Colorado andMark Zumwinkle of Min-nesota; and sister, BarbaraMathewson of Kansas.

All donations have beenasked to be sent in his nameto the National Breast Can-cer Society.

PHOTO BY MIKE WEAVER | STAFFFreshman cornerback Jerry Williams catches a ball during practice Friday.

Unfounded runninggame can carry for Cats

The days of seeing a solo runningback carry the load for UK footballare in the past.

Names like Sonny Collins, GeorgeAdams, Mark Higgs, Moe Williams,Artose Pinner and Rafael Little proba-

bly won’t be emerg-ing in the foresee-able future for theCats.

For the uniniti-ated minds, thoseare all backs whohad career-makingseasons at UK andcould single-handed-ly carry the offen-sive load.

While the talentis seemingly therefor that to occur,

head coach JokerPhillips seems intent on divvying upthe carries between his speedsters andnewly added power backs, freshmenJustin Taylor and Dyshawn Mobley.

“When is the last time we havemade it through this thing with oneback or with two backs or with threebacks?” Phillips asked last week.“When was the last time? It just does-n’t happen and I’m talking about inthis league. It is not just us, but in thisleague it is very seldom that a backlasts 12 games in this league. If wehad to do it today they all wouldplay.”

As long as it comes to fruition,this could be a program-changingmove that keeps Phillips’ name out ofthe coaching carousel.

It may not be a popular choice, es-pecially for the handful of fans whowitnessed a pass-first, hurry-up of-fense during the spring game, but untilthe kinks of a young pass game areworked out, setting a tone with a bal-anced running game should be a prior-ity.

In testing this theory, Phillips al-lowed the running game to go to workagainst the defense, which, at least onpaper, probably contains the team’stop strengths.

The result? The running gamemoved the ball 98 yards for a touch-down.

“We put the ball on the two-yardline — defense has to get itself off thefield, offense has to get a first downso it has a chance to operate after that— and our offense took it 98 yards.That was a positive thing, 98 yards, 14plays,” Phillips said. “That is hard todo. There weren’t any huge plays in itbut we had some consistency. Therewere no penalties, no turnovers, nosacks, no negative yardage plays.That’s a good teaching point for us to-

morrow.”Offensive Coordinator Randy

Sanders elaborated on the drive, say-ing, “Just being able to go 98 yardswithout having a 30- or 40-yard playmixed in there means that you had alot of guys do things and know theirrole.”

In my time following UK football,I’ve never known of the Cats havingthat capability. Once on campus lastseason, sophomore Josh Clemons hadthe appearance of a traditional SECback, such as Alabama’s TrentRichardson, something UK has lackedin recent years.

But injuries could hamper Phillips’plans for the team, as has been thecase with other positions thus far.

Following Saturday’s scrimmage,Phillips said senior CoShik Williamssprained his foot. Williams is a part of

Freshmen may earn playing time

Position battles are a part ofthe preseason experience for anyfootball team hoping to be com-petitive in the fall, and UK’s pro-gram is no exception. But lessthan two weeks away from the2012 season opener at arch-rivalLouisville, the Cats still facequestion marks at a number ofkey positions.

Competition for a starting nodcan bring the best out in a player,but it can also be detrimental tothe team. As the regular seasondraws closer, players and fansalike want to know who will beon the field this season, but so far,few questions have been an-

swered.In the team’s annual spring

game, offensive coordinatorRandy Sanders featured a wide-open offense that included spreadformations and a no-huddle tem-po. It remains to be seen if that isthe offense seen from UK this fallor if it will regress to its conser-vative, run and screen-heavyroots. Regardless, the greater is-sue is the lack of a presence tocommand that offense.

On Monday the team an-nounced that sophomore MaxwellSmith would start at quarterbackfor the team’s season opener atLouisville. Smith started threegames last year and appeared ineight en route to being named tothe SEC All-Freshmen team. But

with less than two weeks until thestart of the season, players andfans are forced to wonder if thedecision was made too late.

Having worked with Smith,senior Morgan Newton, andfreshmen Patrick Towles andJalen Whitlow throughout train-ing camp, the rest of the offensenow has an abbreviated time peri-od to find a rhythm with Smith onoffense.

“It’s a little difficult, just fornow, because we have to workwith every quarterback and justget the timing down and chem-istry with each one,” senior widereceiver La’Rod King said. “Butat the same time once one is de-termined then it is a little easier

UK athletic director Mitch Barnhart re-cently celebrated his 10th year of leading adepartment that now features 22 sports and abudget of more than $90 million. The Kernelsat down with Barnhart Monday to talk aboutJohn Calipari, football at Commonwealth Sta-dium and the university’s budget challenges.

Q. What has UK head basketball coachJohn Calipari’s impact been across the en-tire athletic department?

A. John cares about everybody. He hasbeen a great CEO for men’s basketball, thereis no question about that. He has made Ken-tucky basketball not only relevant again, butdominant again — to a spot where people fear

playing us again. From aprogram perspective, he be-lieves it is important foreveryone to be successful,and he has done a nice jobreaching out to other coachesand other programs to seewhat he can do to help themand to help them get better.He thinks about things at a30,000-feet level, but he also

is able to get down and deal with the detailsthat allow him to be great. Both pieces of thathe manages in a way that is unique to coachesat that level.

Q. What challenges does Calipari bringto the athletic department, when you con-sider how he is perceived, such as the re-cent “biggest cheater in college basketball”poll.

A. For me, not really any. We know whatwe are and how we run our program here.Sandy Bell (UK Athletics Compliance) andJohn have a great relationship and they workvery closely together. I have been at this busi-ness long enough to know you can’t controlwhat people say and what they do. In myopinion, people are going to say things and behurtful if they want to be hurtful. If they havean ax to grind, they are going to do theirdarndest to make sure to find their agenda andget it done. I have never heard Cal out therebad-mouthing other coaches. Every coach thathas been in Rupp Arena — almost withoutexception — he has complimented them, saidthat they have done a great job and has al-

ways been gracious about the other guy. I amamazed at the jealousy created when they saystuff about him, and that is what it is — it’sjealousy and people being hurtful wanting tobe either where he is or to bring him down.What hurts him and the coaching industrymost is that they have these polls. For a coachto even participate in a poll like that, I find al-most unbelievably incredible.

Q. Why should students be excited aboutcoming to Commonwealth Stadium in thefall?

A. We have a lot of new faces. I think thatpeople immediately — it’s the world we livein — want to jump off and then jump backon. Fans get down quick. We had it going OKfor about four or five years, gaining a littlemomentum every year, but we stubbed ourtoe the last year and a half. We have to getback to where we are growing again. Thisgroup of young people in this recruiting classgives us a chance to do that. We have somerunning backs that are big, strong SEC-look-ing running backs. We have playmakers inplaces that we didn’t have them last year. Wehave some people that can make some thingshappen for us — they are all young. That ispart exciting, part scary that we are dependingon young talent to make a difference in this

league. However, in our basketball team, theymade a difference. Can these guys step in anmake the same kind of impact? It’s a littleharder in football, but I think you will seesome young guys that can make plays. MaxSmith? Another year older, and he is workinghard at our offense and I think he has achance to be a really nice quarterback at Ken-tucky.

There are a couple of reasons why theyshould come. First of all, I think we havesome good young players. Second is the so-cial piece of coming to be a part of what’s go-ing on at Commonwealth Stadium. It’s part ofthe college experience. Why not come and bea part of that? Watching it on TV and beingthere are two different things. You might aswell go ahead and have some fun. What elseare you going to do on a Saturday?

Q..Many of the offices in the Joe CraftCenter have a placard that says“15x15x15” on it. What does that mean?

A. Two and half years ago we wanted to es-tablish goals for the program. We wanted tohave 15 national championships and be a top15 program at the end of a year, by the year2015. We are 11 championships into that —in some shape or form, conference or nationalchampions. We still have two and a half years

left. We finished 29th in the country in theDirectors’ Cup poll. Track and Field is an im-portant component of that. You can win sixtimes — men’s and women’s cross-country,men’s and women’s indoor track, and men’sand women’s outdoor track. You have to fig-ure out a way to score in track, hence the in-vestment in our track program, trying to get itto the spot where it contributes significantlyto what we do here. The other component,that is not listed on there — we weren’t surehow to make the numbers work — we wantto have a department-wide GPA of 3.0. Wegave gone over the hurdle a couple of timesand then we drop right back. We’ve had acouple of teams in the 3.5 range as a team.For a team of relatively good size to put upthat kind of GPA number and still competewith their schedules is just remarkable.

Q. What team will surprise fans thisyear?

A. I think men’s soccer has a chance to sur-prise some people. Johan (Cedergren) is oneof our new coaches. He has a bunch of newplayers on his roster. They were undefeated inthe spring, although that doesn’t mean any-thing. They are a talented group of guys. Ilove his demeanor when he’s coaching, theway he approaches our guys.

Tim Garrison and the women’s gymnas-tics team will surprise some people. I talkedto him this morning, and he has a roster of 17women including seven newcomers. Three ofthem are scholarship folks coming in our pro-gram. I think he has a roster that has achance. Of all the girls that return, they haveall competed in at least two events for us —which is significant.

Q. At what moment did you believe youhad a “home run” hire with UK Hoopshead coach Matthew Mitchell?

A. I don’t know if there is one moment, butI like it when people can look themselves inthe mirror and self-evaluate. He did a greatjob of that after the first year or two. He waswilling to change the way he did things, andsaid “This separates us and makes us differ-ent.” I remember listening to the game againstCal-Santa Barbara, during his third year. I re-member hearing Neil (Price) call the gameand announcing “turnover, turnover,turnover.” All of the sudden that game got outof hand in our favor, and from then on theprogram got a little energy and momentum. Iremember thinking we have transformed our-

Excitement filled the Stu-dent Center Sunday evening as students took advantage offree activities at the StudentCenter Spectacular.

They left no room forchance as they began arriving at 8 p.m. sharp.

Jumbo inflatable slides sat in the Student Center parkinglot to welcome students be-fore they entered the building.

Clubs provided activitiessuch as face and body paint-ing, cookie decorating, gamesand an oxygen bar. Fun-filledprojects helped promote cam-pus clubs and inform incom-ing students about ways toget involved on campus.

“This is my first Spectac-

ular, so I’m excited about theturnout and how many peoplecame,” said Emily Collier,senior and director of publicrelations for the Student Ac-tivities Board.

“People are not just inter-ested in coming to this event,but getting involved andhopefully getting thingsrolling on campus.”

Clubs that did not have booths gave out flyers andfree shirts.

When squeezing betweenpeople, the word “free” oftenwas shouted throughout thecrowd.

“My favorite part is allthe free shirts,” Josh Cum-mins, a special educationfreshman, said.

But despite the activitiesand handouts, some students

were not impressed.“I thought it was going to

be more games to do ratherthan a bunch of free stuff,” Ha-ley Goode, an English educa-

tion and theater freshman, said.Students who attended

last year’s Spectacular no-ticed a difference in thecrowd.

“I don’t think this is asgreat as it was last year,” saidJessica Hinkle, a sophomoreand director of networkingfor SAB.

“Last year was morehands-on things, this year ismore grab and go.”

The night concluded witha showing of “The HungerGames” and a dance in theGrand Ballroom.

Elijah Zimmerman, direc-tor of campus life for SABand a communication junior, estimated that 3,500 to 4,000students attended the StudentCenter Spectacular, an in-crease from last year’s event.

Sens. McConnell,Paul speak at rally

A rain shower-inducedmicrophone malfunctiontemporarily silenced U.S.Sen. Rand Paul, leading todueling chants of “A-C-A”and “U-S-A.”

Later, tempers flared be-tween the groups as a tea-party supporter pulled a pairof signs out of the hands of aprotester, briefly standing onthem until instructed to re-turn them by the KentuckyState Police.

Paul and senior U.S.Senator from KentuckyMitch McConnell were fea-tured speakers Monday at atea-party rally against Oba-macare.

The Affordable Care Actstill stirs the emotions ofsupporters and detractorsmore than two years after itspassage.

In June, the U.S.Supreme Court decided thatthe law was constitutional.Paul disagrees.

Paul said at the rally thathis wife tells him he shouldstart counting to 10 beforepublicly commenting oncontroversial topics.

“I have had plenty oftime to count to 10, and Ithink the whole damn thingis unconstitutional,” Paultold the crowd.

McConnell, the currentSenate minority leader, said it is imperative to elect MittRomney as president andprovide him with a Republi-can majority in the Senate.

“Repealing Obamacarewill be job 1,” McConnellsaid in his speech. “We needto make Obama a one-termpresident.”

Some UK students at-tended the rally.

“I like the cause againstObamacare, and I think it af-fects people my age morethan people think,” saidAlexis Cataldo, a history andpolitical science senior. “Ilove events like this. It’s thebeauty of this country.”

Many people attendingthe rally held signs in protestof the tea party and the Re-publican senators.

“This protest rallywasn’t representing one par-ticular group,” Ben Norton,a UK junior, said. “Individu-als that have certain qualmswith McConnell, Paul andthe tea party came together.”

Cataldo said studentscould become more engagedby registering to vote or byjoining the college Republi-cans or Democrats on cam-pus.

“You should probablystart paying attention to theissues,” Cataldo said. “Re-gardless of your position.”

selves into something differ-ent here.

Q. What is the biggestchallenge facing you thenext 12 months?

A. You are always chal-lenged competitively. I wouldsay the thing we should —and will — pay attention tois the culture of the world welive in. My concerns are try-ing to stay in step with theculture and social media thatallow us to work with youngpeople, never putting them atrisk, being able to guide themand keep them out of harm’sway in everything they do. Atthe same time we have tomanage that beast that hasnow become so difficult tomanage in social media. Andthen by the way, we have toline up and play a gamesomewhere along the way.Trying to keep all that intoperspective for kids who are18, 22 or 23 years old getschallenging. We want to pur-sue greatness. If we fallshort, so be it. At least wepursued it. That’s the ultimategoal for us — how we pur-sue greatness in all areas —not just the competitivepiece, but also in the class-room and socially.

Q. The UK Athleticsoverall budget is on the

rise, the department isbuilding new facilities andsome coaches received siz-able extensions and raises.The university budget as awhole, however, is shrink-ing, tuition is increasing,teachers haven’t had meritraises in several years andlayoffs have occurred. Howdo you explain or justifythis?

A. Ironically, when I camehere 10 years ago, our budgetwas 3.25 to 3.5 percent of theuniversity’s budget, and ithasn’t changed. We are still3.5 percent of the budget.Our growth has mirrored theuniversity’s growth. Therewas obviously a pretty bigdecline in funding from thestate this year, which createdsome challenges.

Our goal was to giveback some of that money, totry and create a little bit ofmoney to help those kids thatare Singletary Scholars. Sowe gave an additional $1.3million back. We have beengiving $1.7 million out of ourbudget the last eight years.So, in total for the 10 yearswe have been here, we havegiven about $16 million incash to the university. Wewant to be a good friend ofthe university. We pay ourown way — we are self-sus-taining.

As we succeed, we are

able to do more. We want tohelp the music department.We want to help the schoolof business, just go down thelist — we want to help allthose folks. There is a limitas to what we can do. Thatbeing said, I think we aregood stewards with what wehave been given. We try tobe great givers back to theuniversity. When we succeedfrom a licensing perspective,we share that with the univer-sity half-and-half, which wasa record number this year be-cause of the championship.That’s just another way wecan foster additional growthfor the university and helpplug some of those holes.We’re not the answer to allthe problems. When you lookat being a 3-3.5 percent pieceof the total university budgetand say “They’re the an-swer,” I don’t think that’sright or is it fair. I think thereis a great piece of responsi-bility that we have to be thefront porch of this university.If we mess it up, the frontporch doesn’t look very nice.If we do it right and we painta good picture and we winsome national championshipsand we give the opportunityfor the university to show-case itself, now when peoplewalk in the house they say“Wow, what an amazingplace.”

Comedy Caravan startedthe year off Sunday with the10th anniversary of Wednes-day night stand-up comedyevents at the Cats Den.

Although capacity in theCats Den is 315, 400 stu-dents stopped by during thenight to see Dale Jones andJodi White perform.

“(Sunday) night was in-credible,” said Matt Bulka,the director of the Cats Den.”It was a great crowd, andJodi and Dale killed it.”

Along with the KickoffShow, Comedy Caravan willhost Kevin McCaffrey andMike Trainor at 8 p.m.Wednesday in the Cats Den.

Kevin McCaffrey writesthe Top 10 lists for DavidLetterman.

Trainor is the host andcommentator for “World’s Dumbest Criminals” onTruTV.

“I’m expecting a lot ofkids to show up because it’san event at the beginning ofschool,” Trainor said. “Stu-dents are still willing to showup for school functions.”

He visited Lexingtontwice at the beginning of theyear to perform.

“Comedy Caravan hasbeen going strong,” Tom So-bel, the president of TSMArtists Inc., said. “We are lit-erally bringing all comediansfrom Comedy Central.”

TSM Artists Inc. is the

parent company to ComedyCaravan.

The full capacity at theKickoff Show is what or-ganizers are looking forthroughout the year.

“I'm hoping that the buzzwe created (Sunday) nightcarries over into all of ourshows this semester

because it was just awe-some,” Bulka said.

One change in the pro-gram Sobel was looking intois a change in student in-volvement.

“We want more studentsat UK who are willing to dostand-up comedy,” he said.

“We make sure you folksget the best college-appropri-ate comedy. It’s first-classand free.”

For many freshmen whoattended the midnight dodge-ball event Friday (technicallySaturday at 12 a.m.) at theJohnson Center, the rules setby the 2004 movie “Dodge-ball” were all they could playby when faced against WesHopkins.

Hopkins, a mechanicalengineering junior, has thenational record for throwinga two-pound rubber ball at81 mph. By the end of thegames Friday, his teammatesclocked him at 82 mph.

“He’s the deadliest manin the world with a dodge-ball,” said Jacob Hughes, ateammate and kinesiologysenior.

Hopkins joined the teamwith his roommate, ThomasKidd, his freshman year afterattending the midnight dodge-ball game during K Week.

After the event, he wasapproached by the team be-cause its members saw po-tential in him.

Four games were playedat once: three used foamballs and one used a rubberball, said Zac Brown, captainof the UK dodgeball teamthat won second place na-tionally last year.

Along the side of eachcourt, a teammate clocked thetimes of each throw, recordingthem for future recruits.

“This is a big recruitingevent for us, that’s whywe’re clocking everyone’sspeed,” Brown said.

“This is the big eventthat kicks off K Week andwe are trying to make itfun.”

The event brought ap-proximately 1,500 students.

Hopkins placed two rub-ber dodgeballs in his handsand pelted them one at atime at his opponents.

“He has quite an arm,”said Adam Brown, a financefreshman. “That shouldn’teven be legal.”

Any teamp l a y i n gagainst Hop-kins’ Fridaytried to formtogether andtake him outfirst, knowingwho he was.

H o p k i n ssaid he saw a lotof potential recruits whocould throw hard naturallyand play aggressively.

“Those are two traits vi-tal to playing dodgeball,” hesaid.

Hopkins said if studentsare reluctant to join withouttheir friends, they will stillfit in.

“It’s all about the num-bers,” Hopkins said. “We

don’t want just good people,we just want people.

“They’ll get better themore they play.”

Even though most atten-dees came to play dodgeball,the tracks above the courts

were clutteredwith studentswatching thegames unfoldbeneath them.

“It’s veryentertaining,”said JessicaRuhrup, anu n d e c l a r e dfreshman. “I

wanted to comeout and meet people.”

Like Ruhrup, AndreaHaughey, an interior designfreshman, found solace inmeeting others.

“None of us know eachother, but we are going tohave to talk to each othersometime. Why not now?”she said.

Freshman fashion trendsvary year to year. So far, I’veseen freshmen sporting funkysummer dresses and UK gear.

But what can we expectas fall starts to roll around?

Before I dive deep intothe trends we’re about to wit-ness around campus, I thinkit’s only polite to inform thefreshmen of set trends we al-

ready enjoy at UK. Fridays are typically the

day to wear Kentucky blue,especially if we’re supportingthe football team for an up-coming weekend game.

Saturday and Sunday foot-ball games are all about bluedresses. Find yours now be-cause they go quickly aroundLexington.

Keeneland is a world all its own. Try comfortablewedges or heels if you planon walking from the parkinglot. Wear a semi-formal dresswith a pair of dark-coloredtights for those chilly days inthe fall.

As for fashion trends forfreshmen — colored jeans area must. One can’t go wrongwith a pair of UK blue pants,but other colors such as green,maroon or a pop of yellow aregreat for fall.

Among the biggest trendssweeping through the fashionscene is color blocking. Thetrend is about geometric popsof color. Try it with differentclothing items such as greenpants and a red purse.

Denim, of course, is stillin style from when it made itscomeback a few seasons ago.The trick is to not pair two ofthe same color denims togeth-

er. If you’re wearing a lightdenim button-down, pair itwith a dark jean to risk wash-ing yourself out.

Also, be on the lookoutfor brooches. This is such afun trend, so get creative andraid your mom or grandma’sjewelry boxes. Learn aboutsome of the awesome vintagestores around Lexington. Oneof my favorites is Street Sceneby the Fayette Mall — it isstocked with all your vintageneeds.

Riding boots and blazersare still gracing the pages ofVogue: I’m sure many fresh-men will show us a classic

equestrian style. Spice thingsup with a brooch and pin it ona blazer.

A true fashionista is styledto the tips of his or her fin-gers. The “it” fall nail colorsare dark, such as purple, ma-roon and navy. Target or Wal-greens are sure to have all thenail polishes you need.

I’m excited to begin anew school year and be thenew fashion go-to of Com-mon Thread.

Here’s to a great year ofstyle and flair. As Frenchfashion designer Yves SaintLaurent once said, “Fashionsfade, style is eternal.”

Sav’s Chill, an ice-cream shoplocated on South Limestone,opened on July 28 directly acrossthe street from Sav’s Grill.

Mamadou Savane, commonlyknown as “Sav,” has been servingWest African cuisine to Lexingtonresidents at Sav’s Grill since 2008.

Recently, during a slow day atthe grill, he looked across thestreet at the vacant space andcame up with the idea to open anice-cream shop.

“I kept talking to myself. I said‘What can work there?’ And justlike that, my instinct said ‘icecream.’ ” Sav said.

Sav’s Chill serves a wide vari-ety of ice-cream flavors, includingpumpkin, and raspberries andcream, all of which come fromValentine’s Ice Cream in Winches-ter, Ky.

“It’s really good quality icecream,” Sav said, “and it’s not that

expensive at all.”In addition to ice cream, Sav’s

Chill offers one-of-a-kind Ale-8-Onesorbet and Kizito Cookies, whichare unique to Louisville.

There are four employees ofSav’s Chill, including Sav’s son,Bangaly Savane, who manages theshop.

“He’s tough on me at times, buthonestly, I’d rather work for mydad than just some boss,” Bangalysaid.

Thus far, the Savanes arepleased with how the shop hasfaired since its opening.

“The past three weeks havebeen excellent ... and the studentsare just starting to get back in town,explore their surroundings,” Ban-galy said. “I think as that happens,we’ll see more business.”

In attempt to cater to studentcustomers, Sav’s Chill is acceptingthe UK Plus Account for payment.Sav also is considering extendingweekend hours.

Despite the increased populari-

ty of frozen yogurt shops such asOrange Leaf, Sav isn’t concernedabout competition.

“You can’t compare yogurt toice cream,” Sav said. “People werevery excited about yogurt, but Ithink they’re getting tired of it be-cause there’s yogurt everywhere.”

While employees agree that theice cream is to die for, they can’tseem to settle on which flavor isbest.

“I’d have to go with the black-berries and cream or the pumpkin,”economics sophomore and Sav’sChill employee Stuart Cookseysaid.

“I’m going to try to sampleevery single one.”

Information: 289 S. Limestone;open noon to 10 p.m. daily; 859-255-2445; facebook.com/SavsChill.

One of the advantages of beingon an academic calendar is that youhave two occasions for new resolu-tions: the beginning of fall semester

and the beginning ofspring semester.This year, I’d like tochallenge all stu-dents — and espe-cially entering fresh-men — to make aresolution that maychange their aca-demic careers:Pledge to meet oneprofessor in officehours this semester.

In teaching atUK for the pastthree years, I’ve

learned that there is a huge differ-ence between the students who knowtheir instructors and those who don’t.The students who know their teach-ers pay more attention in class, aremore likely to complete assignmentswell and on time, are more confidentin asking questions and participatingin discussion, and yes —they get bet-ter grades.

As for the other students, theymay come to class so infrequentlythat the instructor never learns theirnames. It is easy for this kind of stu-dent to slip through the cracks, to bein danger of failing by midterm andto end up scrambling in November. Itis only in the last few weeks of class

that I’ll learn that this student had afamily/medical/work issue ... and bythen it is too late to be of much help.

Professors can do a lot to changethis relationship. In my small classes,I ask each and every student to cometo office hours. In my bigger courses,I make this optional. If a studentcomes to my office hours, I’ll knowwhere they’re from, why they aremajoring in history, and what theywant to do when they grow up. I’llask how the class is going and askfor feedback on what I can do tohelp them master the material.

Because I know the student, I’llkeep an eye out for him or her andnotice when he or she is absent orstarting to slip up. This kind of stu-dent doesn’t have to be a rock star,but if he is earnest and engaged Iwill be interested in his improve-ment. And if I see him more thanonce during the semester, I’ll knowhim well enough to write a meaning-ful letter of recommendation whenthe time comes.

So what can you do to cultivatethis kind of relationship? Go to of-

fice hours. Make an appointment inthe second week of classes and justgo. You don’t have to have an ideafor your term paper, or a brilliantquestion that you’d like to discuss.Block out 15 minutes and plan to in-troduce yourself and explain whyyou’re taking the class. You willprobably find that the professor issurprised and pleased that you’vetaken the trouble to go to officehours, and you shouldn’t feel at alluncomfortable — it is the professor’sjob to have office hours.

From here on out, you’ll see thatasking questions in class or seekingfeedback will be that much easier.Don’t be surprised if the professorcalls on you in class; this is becausehe knows your name and wants youto help with the running of the class.By going to office hours you’ve ex-pressed your commitment to succeedin the class, and the next step is forthe professor to show that he’s in-vested in you.

Before finishing Phase I,UK must approach the nexthousing steps with caution.

The construction at theNew Central Residence Hallis under way at the formersite of Haggin Field.

This plan for privatehousing moves President EliCapilouto closer to fulfillinghis Kentucky Promise to UK students by creatingmore undergraduate housing.

A new residence hall onCentral Campus will be agood addition to that area,although it is unfortunatethat it comes at the expenseof recreation facilities atHaggin Field.

The site will house a liv-ing-learning community for

Honors students. Havingthose students in the newestdorm on campus is a goodreward for high achieve-ment. Conversely, havingthe Honors students in NewCentral Residence Hall couldbe an incentive for students to join the program.

Housing Honors studentsin the new residence hall is agreat way for UK to show acommitment to academics,especially since the nextmost recent new dorm, theWildcat Coal Lodge, is usedto house mostly athletes –who achieve highly in a dif-ferent way.

Currently many of UK’snew Honors students live atPatterson Hall, an older fa-

cility on North Campus. Themove to Central Campuswould be both a location andfacilities upgrade.

This project also couldhave a positive effect on theLexington community. Offi-cials have stated it couldpump millions of dollars intothe local economy and createas many as 2,900 jobs in fu-ture phases.

However, UK’s Boardof Trustees should be waryabout quickly approvingPhase II of the project whenit comes before the Boardin October. The plan, whichwould include five morenew residence halls, is am-bitious and unprecedentedat a public university the

size of UK. Because a pub-lic-private partnership ofthis kind has not been donebefore, its results have notyet been seen.

Months of constructionwill remain at the NewCentral Residence Hall siteand to commit to a companyand the construction of fivenew residence halls beforethe first one opens could betoo ambitious.

It is important that theboard does not rush itsjudgment.

Capilouto should becommended for how aggres-sively he is pursuing this in-novative housing plan, buthe must pursue it with cau-tion.

UK’s plan for privatized housingshows promise, requires caution

LOS ANGELES — Asone of the most prolific di-rectors in Hollywood, TonyScott’s death leaves a quartetof high-priority projects inlimbo.

Among them was the an-ticipated sequel to the 1986blockbuster “Top Gun” thatbecame a cultural touchstoneand launched Scott’s Holly-wood career.

It had taken years to getthe movie even close to be-ing made due to the com-plexities of reuniting Scottwith star Tom Cruise andproducer Jerry Bruckheimeron a concept all three wouldendorse. The picture was tofocus on the world of dronesin modern aerial combat.

Its backers, ParamountPictures and Skydance Pro-ductions, had hoped to startshooting the sequel earlynext year and release it intheaters in 2014.

There were three otherprojects also vying to getScott behind the camera thiscoming winter.

But, the day after newsof Scott’s apparent suicidespread throughout Holly-wood, none of the studios

behind these endeavors hadany clue how and whether toproceed without the film-maker who had championedthem.

The other films onScott’s to-do list were “Nar-co Sub,” about the underwa-ter transport of drugs fromLatin America to the U.S.;“Lucky Strike,” about aDEA agent forced to run amission with a drug dealerwhich potentially was to starMark Wahlberg and VinceVaughn; and a remake ofSam Peckinpah’s 1969 West-ern “The Wild Bunch.”

Those involved in hispending projects said therewas no sign in the last sever-al weeks that the 68-year-oldScott’s energy for filmmak-ing was flagging or that hewas suffering from the kindof depression that could leadto suicide.

“We had a meeting justtwo weeks ago and he wasburning with the excitementof creating stuff,” said TomRothman, chairman of 20thCentury Fox, the studio be-hind “Narco Sub” and“Lucky Strike.”

Adam Kolbrenner, whomanages “Narco Sub”screenwriter David Guggen-

heim, painted a picture of afilmmaker who continued tothrow himself into his work,adding that there had been“no hiccup” in communica-tion between Scott and theprincipals on the project atany point over the last fewmonths.

Bruckheimer, who hascollaborated with Scott onsix films including “TopGun,” declined to be inter-viewed about Scott and thefate of “Top Gun 2.” On Fri-day, the producer traveledwith Scott and Cruise to thenaval air station in Fallon,Nev., 70 miles east of Reno,according to a public affairsofficer at the base.

During their half-dayvisit, they met with the com-manding officer and talkedto other officials to learnmore about the modern U.S.Navy Strike Fighter TacticsInstructor program, morepopularly known as TOP-GUN.

In a prepared statement,Bruckheimer said Monday,“I was shocked and devastat-ed to learn of Tony Scott’sdeath. He was not only abrilliant filmmaker but awonderful man and dearfriend. He was thoughtful

and warm and had an irre-pressible sense of humor. Iwas fortunate to haveworked with him for 30years ... Tony was a trueoriginal and he will be terri-bly missed by everyone whoknew him.”

It is also unclear whatwill become of “Narco Sub,”a movie Scott had been de-veloping with Guggenheim,the writer of this year’scrime drama “Safe House,”starring Denzel Washington.For the last eight months,Scott and his producing part-ner on the film, Simon Kin-berg, had been working torefine Guggenheim’s script.

“He’d worked out thehuman story, and now hewas working on the ma-chines,” Kolbrenner said.

The fourth planned en-deavor on Scott’s slate was aremake of director SamPeckinpah’s “The WildBunch,” the 1969 Westernthat starred William Holdenand Ernest Borgnine. It wasbeing written by Brian Hel-geland, who previouslyworked with Scott on themovies “The Taking of Pel-ham 123” and “Man onFire” and won an Oscar for1997’s “L.A. Confidential.”

It remains to be seen ifother directors will step inand continue Scott’s work onany of the projects. Some-times the death of a keyplayer makes it impossiblefor movies in developmentto continue.

In similar instances, it is

not unprecedented for anoth-er filmmaker to pick up themantle, as Steven Spielbergdid on the movie “A.I.” afterdirector Stanley Kubrick’sdeath in 1999.

New and returning stu-dents kicked off yet anotherschool year with K Week,which included events suchas FUSION, Big Blue U andCampus Ruckus.

This year, K Week at-tracted more students than KWeeks past, thanks to severalchanges that were made toimprove students’ experi-ences.

“I think we’ve done agreat job promoting K Week,especially on social media,and this is an area we willcontinue to work on,” saidNathan Brummett, econom-ics and marketing senior andK Crew Coordinator.

Two new academic ses-sions — “How to Graduatein Four Years” and “How toSucceed in a Large LectureClassroom” — were well re-ceived by new students.

Friday evening, studentswere “invited to meet UKPresident Eli Capilouto andplay a role in the shooting ofUK’s new institutional TVspot as part of a first-of-its-kind 3-D spectacle called‘See Blue,’ ” according tothe K Week guide.

Thursday, Old Navy by Fayette Mall will host anevent called “Old Navy Funi-versity,” which gives studentsthe opportunity to shop withdiscounted prices, win prizesand enjoy free food.

Brummett attributedmuch of K Week’s success to

this year’s Super Crew andK Crew, who were in chargeof leading groups of fresh-men and transfer studentsaround campus.

“They have been work-ing hard to make sure ourevents go well and that newstudents are having fun andgoing to things together,”Brummett said.

For months, Brummetthas been putting in work tomake this K Week the bestyet, alongside K Crew Coor-dinator and policial sciencesenior Alexa Ackermann.

“I have been extremelypleased with how K Weekhas gone so far,” Ackermannsaid. “… We are both so hap-py that we were able to playsuch an important role withit.”

The outset of Monday’s post-prac-tice interviews brought one answer tothe Bluegrass: Sophomore quarterbackMaxwell Smith will start.

“Max Smith, we feel, gives us thebest chance to win at this point and hewill be our starting quarterback versusLouisville,” UK head coach JokerPhillips said.

Phillips said the decision came Sun-day night after he and the coaching staffviewed practice tape, but it wasn’t untilMonday morning that Smith and hiscompetition, senior Morgan Newton,were informed of the staff’s decision.

“This is one of the tougher decisionsI have had to make. We have two quar-terbacks that we feel like we can winwith, but the guy that gives us the bestchance to win at this point (gets thejob),” Phillips said. “A lot of things gointo making this deci-sion. There are a lotof different ingredi-ents. We have tothink about leader-ship and both ofthem are great lead-ers. Both of themhave great knowl-edge of our of-fense.”

Offensive coor-dinator RandySanders seemed tothink the practiceshelped lead to aclear suggestion asto who the startershould be.

“I think by the way they practiced itwas evident that Max was probably a lit-tle more productive at this point,”Sanders said.

After Newton was hurt in a 28-16loss to Mississippi State in late October,the reigns to the team were given toSmith, who completed 51 of 101 passesfor 595 yards and four touchdowns.

Smith’s late-season contributionsearned him acknowledgement by the

SEC and Rivals.com, along with beingnamed SEC Freshman of the Week afterwinning his first start over Ole Miss.

Newton’s injury became one that ledto the then-junior to undergo surgery inDecember.

Because of that surgery, the one-time starter for the Cats was out ofmuch of spring practice, something heattributed to possibly being part of thedecision.

“It was going to be tough for meanyway, just coming back from shoulder(surgery),” Newton said. “I’m still com-ing back, so working hard on that andworking on being a good teammate.”

Phillips added that it was tougherthan many thought, but in getting to seeextra reps from Smith, it helped hiscause.

“It wasn’t obvious, it was tough,”Phillips said. “Again, a lot of factors areinvolved. I think Max had an upperhand by getting all those reps in the

spring too. That hada lot to do with it.You saw him get-ting more com-fortable withevery snap he gotand you can see alittle bit more ofit in this fallcamp.”

For Smith, itwas the opportu-nity of a lifetime,albeit a tough de-cision for hiscoach.

“This is whatI have been working for since I was alittle kid to get a chance to start for anSEC team,” Smith said. “I am glad to bewhere I am and I am looking forward tohaving a good season.”

Phillips said the experience of New-ton would keep him secured for thebackup position on the depth chart.However, a decision on who would bethe third- or fourth-string quarterbackbetween freshmen Patrick Towles andJalen Whitlow had yet to be made, headded.

on us because you have firststring and second string, andthose are the only guys youreally work with.”

Despite the quarterbackposition being cleared up,even more uncertainty liesthroughout the rest of thedepth chart. The offensive linefeatures three new starterswho combine for less than aseason’s worth of starts intheir careers. Behind them lieseven more inexperience, mak-ing the line very vulnerableshould it suffer injury prob-lems, especially in a pass-firstoffense.

Three running backs as-sumed the starting jobthroughout last season, and allthree return looking for play-ing time in the fall. Sopho-more Josh Clemons, seniorCoShik Williams and juniorRaymond Sanders are all try-ing to show that they have thetalent to be a breakout runningback in the SEC, much theway former UK running backDerrick Locke did two sea-sons ago.

Sanders is the best block-ing running back, whileWilliams is the quickest of thethree. Clemons may be themost true running back withall the intangibles needed tobe successful, but he also re-turns from a knee injury thatsidelined him for the finaltwo-thirds of last season.

“We’re just going to fol-low the coaches’ gameplan,whatever it may be,” Clemonssaid. “If I’m going to be oneof the running backs theywant to use then you will seeme out there. What I do knowis the coaches are just tryingto find a way to win.”

No one doubts the coachesare doing what they’re doingin an effort to win, but at whatpoint does the uncertainty be-gin to bother the team morethan its opponents? Just 12days from the start of the sea-son, head coach Joker Phillipsand his staff may be toeingthat line.

The defense continues toadjust on the fly with the lossof starting cornerback MarcusCaffey and the move of start-ing safety Martavius Nelomsto replace him. With evenmore uncertainty at the keypositions on the offensive sideof the ball, the Cats seem un-derprepared for the start of acritical season in the JokerPhillips regime. Whether thetalent is there or not, as longas important decisions contin-ue to be put off, the Cats maynot be able to move forward.

a two-back race with fellowsenior Raymond Sanders forthe starting position.

While it certainly can bea problem, UK cannot fretknowing it can put anotherback on field without losingSEC quality. For the firsttime in nearly 30 years, itcan go three or four deepbefore reaching its freshmanduo.

The 1984 season fea-tured a UK backfield, whichin its past seasons was ledby George Adams, becomea proverbial three-headedmonster.

Adams’ 1,085-yard sea-son was accompanied by a400-plus yard season by notonly sophomore Marc Lo-

gan, but also freshman MarkHiggs.

Among that trio, nonewent undrafted or unrecog-nized with SEC merit.

Higgs, the youngest ofthe group, finished his ca-reer in 1987, paving the wayfor the last of a slew of suc-cessful backs, including IvyJoe Hunter.

Similarly, Taylor and/orMobley can become theirown Ivy Joe Hunter of sorts.The two power backs are setto endeavor into their firstfull season of the SEC’shard knocks, so having themready, as has been suggestedover recent weeks, could becrucial.

But as senior offensiveguard Larry Warford saidSaturday, “They’re notscared to hit, I really likethat about them.”

One’s a shooting guard, oneplays the point. One likes Nike,the other prefers Under Armour.One likes LeBron, the other,Kobe. They may be differentpeople, each with their own per-sonalities and interests, but Aaronand Andrew Harrison will verymuch be as one on Oct. 29thwhen they announce where theywill both play college basketball.

“We’re definitely going to thesame school,” Aaron said.

The 6-foot-5, 205-poundshooting guard and his equallyimposing younger brother An-drew — younger by one minute,to be precise — have left coachesacross the nation praying it istheir school’s name that comesout of the brother’s lips whenthey commit.

“It’s pretty even right now,”Aaron said when asked if thetwins had worked out whichschools are on their list — whichincludes Maryland, SMU, Bay-lor, Villanova and UK. What ishe looking for when it comes tomaking that decision?

“Just a winning program, aprogram that fits my game, our

style of game and a coach thatwants to get me to the next lev-el,” he said.

It’s fair to say that UK has aprogram and coach who certainlyfit that description.

“He’s a great coach,” said theRichmond, Texas, native ofreigning national championcoach John Calipari.

“He puts a lot of players inthe NBA,” Harrison said. “Iknow that he’s one of the morereal coaches out there, he’ll tellyou what’s real and that’s what Ilike about him and the rest of thestaff as well. They don’t reallytell you what you wanna know,they tell you what it’s like at theirschool and what they need youfor — and that you’ll need towork hard when you get there.”

UK fans would certainly en-joy watching the brotherly guardcombo in action if they do end upcalling Rupp Arena home duringthe 2013-14 season.

Aaron is an outstandingshooter, particularly from three-point territory. He is virtually un-stoppable when he drives towardthe bucket, powering his athleticframe past defenders with ease.But, putting up numbers for thesake of putting up numbers does-

n't interest him; he plays to winand that shows with his commit-ment to get back on defense andplay hard on both ends of thecourt.

Both he and brother Andreware fierce competitors who willgive whichever school theychoose one of the best packagedeals perhaps ever seen at thecollege level.

Cats fans can catch their ownglimpse of both Aaron and An-drew Saturday evening when thetwins take part in the Under Ar-mour Elite 24 game, televisedlive on ESPN.

“It’s always fun to get outthere and play the best players inthe country, you just gotta go outthere and have fun.” Aaron said,on the Venice Beach, Californiaevent.

“I mean you always wannawin, so (I want to) just go outthere and win and have fun.”

It remains to be seen whichschool the twins will commit toon Oct. 29th, but we at leastknow why the announcementwon’t come as Aaron is blowingout the candles on his birthdaycake.

“Our birthday’s October 28th,but it’s a Sunday.”

By Tom [email protected]

Coming off of a longsummer of playing constanthigh-level basketball, Aaronand Andrew Harrison, alsoknown as the “HarrisonTwins,” took some time offfrom basketball to vacationin New York.

“We went with ourgrandparents. We had a nicetime and just chilled and re-laxed,” Andrew said. “It wasnice to just get away fromeverything.”

After living under thepressure of being such a high-ly touted prospect since 8thgrade, a break is well de-served.

As the summer windsdown and school gets backinto session, Andrew stillthinks about the loss in lastyears state championship.“We are definitely going towin that,” he said.

Championships aren’t justsomething he is looking for-ward to in this upcoming sea-son, but for many years tocome. Andrew said he alreadyhas his eyes on a national titlein the college ranks.

Although he hasn’ttalked to many guys aboutthe hyped up idea of a “su-per class” at a school likeUK, he said, “Playing withgood players at any schoolwould be fun, but I reallydon’t try to talk to guys toomuch because I don’t evenknow where I’m going yet.”

But don’t let that is leadyou, the 6-foot-5, 205-poundpoint guard is especially in-terested in UK.

Harrison had nothing butpraise for head coach John

Calipari and the rest of thestaff at Kentucky.

“He’s great, and Coach(Kenny) Payne too. They arereally honest guys and tellme what I need to work onand tell me that I would haveto come in there and com-pete for minutes,” Harrisonsaid.

In a list that includesBaylor, Kentucky, Maryland,SMU and Villanova, Andrewclaims “there is no order.”

However, the point guardgoes on to say that, “(UK) isin my top 3 or 4, so the aredefinitely up there.” “Greatcoaches, the right systemand good basketball tradi-tion” are what Andrew saidhe is looking for in the pro-gram he will ultimatelychoose.

The elite point guard hasbeen labeled by many peopleas arrogant, something he iskeen to set the recordstraight on.

“Most people say I’m ar-rogant or whatever based onhow I am on the court, but offthe court I’m just a normalguy. I don’t try to act arrogantor big-time or whatever, so re-ally I don’t like when peoplesay that about me. But, it iswhat it is,” he said.

Andrew is a consensustop-five recruit who playswith an edge on the court.Idolizing former Calipariplayer Derrick Rose, Andrewcould be the next in a longline of successful pointguards for the UK coach.

Being 6-foot-5, Andrewhas elite size for his position,and is a creative passer withgreat speed and athleticism.All of these physical traitscombined with his will to

win and extreme competitivenature make him a “musthave” prospect in what isconsidered to be a verystrong 2013 class.

All the schools that arestill being considered for hisservices will be sure to wish

Andrew and brother Aaron avery happy birthday on Oct.28. The day after the pack-age deal turns 18, they willend the recruiting processand announce which schoolthey will attend for the 2013-14 season.

Harrison twins could be UK’s next big tandem


New UK head coach Jo-han Cedergren has namedsenior midfielders MattLodge and Cameron Wilderhis captains for the upcomingseason.

“Matt and Cam are goingto be excellent team captainsin 2012,” Cedergren said.“They are both tremendousleaders and have differentstyles of leadership.”

Lodge, who is a native ofRossington, England, is athree-time All-ConferenceUSA selection and wasnamed a 2009 freshman All-American. Lodge is the first

UK player to earn freshmanAll-American honors and hasstarted 47 games in his three-year career. Lodge is comingoff the most productive sea-son of his career, scoring sev-en goals and tallying 10 as-sists last season.

Wilder, a native of Ken-nesaw, Ga., has played in 49games in his three years atUK, while having at least oneassist in each season. He alsoserved as an attacking mid-fielder in his first two yearson campus before switchingto a more defensive role lastseason. Under Cedergren,

Wilder will be moving backto an attacking role for the2012 season.

“They set great exampleswith their work ethic, positiveattitudes on and off the field,and competitive mentality,”Cedergren said of his selec-tions. “Both are veterans whohave been tested throughouttheir careers and are poisedfor big senior seasons.”

The senior co-captainswill lead their team onto thepitch for the first time thisSunday in their match withDayton.
