The mouthwatering pancakes are being served at the corner of Woodland and Columbia in the Christian Student Fellowship building. Such toppings as chocolate chips, whipped cream, peanut butter and, of course, syrup are provided. “These are Krusteaz pancakes,” said CSF Di- rector and Campus Minister Brian Marshall. “We buy the batter by these gigantic bags and they are really tasty.” Students from every class mingled while get- ting their pancakes Sunday night. Chemistry sophomore Erin Lammers didn’t pass up the op- portunity for free pancakes. “It is a lot busier than last year,” Lammers said. Marshall estimates that in a busy night a thousand students will be served 2,000 to 3,000 pancakes. He wants students to come to create a safe place where people can easily meet friends. “I come more for the social experience than the pancakes,” Kate Cremer, an accounting soph- omore, said. Marshall said because of the extra toppings, the organization spends about $300 a week, de- pending on the crowd. Jiff peanut butter donated 50 jars to “12 and 12 Pancakes” this year. “We try to make it more than just a plain pan- cake — we want that extra something special so people can know that we really thought about this and they have a good experience,” Marshall said.

UK President Eli Capilouto and athletic director Mitch Barn- hart announced the increase in funding in June at a Board of Trustees meeting. The increase brings the contribution from the athletic fund to $3 million for academic scholarships. Sandy Copher, UK’s director of academic scholarships, said the money goes toward the gen- eral scholarship fund and is mostly going to Singletary Scholars, but money could fund other academic scholarships as well. There are a record 51 stu- dents this year receiving the Sin- gletary Scholarship, which is named for former UK President Otis A. Singletary and covers the cost of tuition, housing and a stipend.

LOS ANGELES — A public policy watchdoggroup has asked the Federal CommunicationsCommission to strip News Corp.’s Fox Broad-casting of licenses it has to operate televisionstations.

Citing the phone-hacking scandal that hasengulfed News Corp.-owned newspapers inBritain, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethicsin Washington filed a petition to deny Fox’sapplications to renew licenses for three of itsTV stations — WTTG-TV and WDCA-TV inWashington, D.C., and WUTB-TV in Balti-more.

“It is well-established that News Corp. hasbeen involved in one of the biggest mediascandals of all time,” said CREW executivedirector Melanie Sloan. “Its reporters hackedvoice mails and bribed public officials whiletop executives — including (News Corp.CEO) Rupert Murdoch — either approved theconduct or turned a blind eye.”

News Corp. and Murdoch have apologized

about the ethics scandal, which led to the clos-ing of its tabloid News of the World and thedeparture of several senior executives. Thecompany has been investigated by lawmakersthere and blasted for the lack of ethics at someof its newspapers. Murdoch’s son, James Mur-doch, has been singled out for criticism be-cause he had oversight of the British newspa-pers for several years.

While U.S. lawmakers are also investigat-ing News Corp. to determine if any of the badbehavior overseas happened here as well, theFCC has shown little public interest in gettinginvolved in the matter.

Noting that being of good character is a re-quirement for holding a broadcast license,CREW’s Sloan said, “If the Murdochs don’tmeet British standards of character, they can’tmeet American standards. The Atlantic Oceanhas no character-cleansing properties.”

A Fox spokesperson declined to comment.

Students in West Liberty,Ky., still recovering from tor-nadoes that swept through thecity in March, welcomedschool-supply donations fromUK HealthCare at a recentBack to School Bash.

UK HealthCare VolunteerServices originally sat downto brainstorm ways to helpthe citizens of West Libertyimmediately after the torna-does struck, said RebeccaRowe, volunteer coordinatorfor the medical center.

Although employees con-sidered a home-supplies

drive, it was decided that do-nations would do little goodif citizens hadn’t rebuilt orfound new homes.

“So we put it off and de-cided that we should wait forthe town to return to normal-cy,” Rowe said. “That’s whenwe decided to do the school-supply drive.”

All supplies were con-tributed by UK HealthCareemployees and collected inthe Volunteer Services con-ference room.

“All the supplies werestacked to the ceiling,” Rowesaid. “There was nowhere towalk because of all the boxes.”

On Aug. 13, UK Health-Care employees helped loadthe van that would deliver thegoods to the Back to School

Bash, which was sponsoredby Morgan County Ap-palachian Regional Hospital.

“The van was packed tothe gills,” Rowe said. “Theyonly had room for the driverbecause every nook and cran-ny was full of supplies.”

At the bash, students en-joyed free hot dogs and chipsand the chance to win prizesin addition to the suppliesthey received.

Mining and engineeringjunior Cory Murphy, whograduated from MorganCounty High School in 2010,appreciated that his universityis lending a hand to hishometown community.

“When you think abouthow small Morgan County is,when some place as big asUniversity of Kentuckyhelps, it obviously means alot to everyone.”

Out with summer concerts,in with sounds of fall

Is it seriously August? Yep. It’s late Au-gust to be exact, and you know what thatmeans. It’s that time again, when kids with

fresh faces and even fresherkicks swarm campus with pencil pouches and matchingNorth Face backpacks as therest of us cynical, summer-loving fools bid adieu to theseemingly endless shenani-gans of summer.

“Why so sad?” youmight ask. The way thesweltering heat of the sum-mer solstice stood no fight-ing chance against an igloocooler, armed with an abun-dance of ice-cold ammuni-tion, is long gone — that’s

why! And no more summer festivals.That array of concert wristbands so many

have proudly collected these past gloriousmonths have fallen limp, pitifully lacking theluster they once generated as they admittedyou into countless days of intense musicallineups.

Music accompanies moods, days, mo-ments, memories, feelings and even times ofthe day. However, there’s one dynamic duothat towers above the rest — music and sum-mer just work unlike any other tired combina-tion.

The relationship that music and summerhave with one another doesn’t just go togeth-er: They intertwine harmoniously. The feel-

ings and the sounds fit together like the way aperfectly worn-in baseball hat molds againstthe roundness of your head. Music can accentprevalent emotions or wash away the mun-dane ones. It has the power to transcend,transforming feelings into whatever you wantto feel. But the way music hits you in thesummertime is so unique to the way musicaffects your life in any other season.

Unfortunately, that season has passed.So now what? I can’t pause time. I can’t

time travel. I don’t have a DeLorean. I guesswith growing up comes the acknowledgmentand acceptance of the inevitable: change.Even though no one can dispute that allthings summertime rock, these upcomingmonths of harvest represent something that Ican get behind: “Out with the old and in withthe new.”

And trust me, there are nuggets of musi-cal awesomeness waiting for you, just aroundthe corner from fall tour announcements tohighly anticipated record releases. So as weembark on this school year and season offall, I challenge all of you not to dwell onthe days full of blissful heat and fresh sum-mer sounds, for they have passed. Instead,let’s keep an open mind of what’s to accom-pany our musical appetites. We don’t have tosay goodbye forever, just maybe make roomfor something new. Plus, I’ve heard the SamAdams Octoberfest isn’t too shabby either.

The changing of seasons brings some sadness, but fall tours, new releases ease pain

When former associatehead coach Kyra Elzy left the

UK benchfor a job ather almamater, theUniversity ofTennessee,head coachMatthewMitchelllooked to aname from

his past to fill the void. While he was an assistant

at Florida, Mitchell recruitedDanielle Santos as part of hisninth-ranked recruiting classin 2002. Ten years later, hewas recruiting her to rejoinhim on the sidelines, this timeas an assistant.

On May 8, the reunion ofcoach and pupil was madeofficial, as Mitchell an-nounced he had hired Santos.

Santos had previouslybeen an assistant at IllinoisState from 2010 to 2012 andat Hofstra from 2006 to2010. She graduated fromFlorida in 2006 with a bach-elor’s degree in exercise andsports sciences, specializingin sports management, whileminoring in business admin-istration and education.

Q. How does it feel to beworking with MatthewMitchell, who recruited youto Florida?

A.Well, I have alwayswanted to work with CoachMitchell. He’s one of the bigreasons that I went to Flori-da. Just to be able to workfor him and be here with himand learn from him is really agreat opportunity.

Q. How would you de-scribe your coaching experi-ence at Illinois State?

A. I had a fabulous coach-ing experience at IllinoisState. Working for StephanieGlance, with her backgroundthat she has, I was really ea-ger to learn from that. I feltlike I was learning fromcoach (Kay) Yow herself attimes, just because she usesher so much in her teaching.I really enjoyed everyonethere, the administration, thetown, the community.Women’s basketball getsgreat support there, a lot likehere in Lexington, so it was areally good experience.

Q. Has the transition beeneasy for you, then? You men-tioned how similar IllinoisState was similar to Lexing-ton, so what’s the transitionto UK been like?

A. It’s been an easy transi-tion because the people thatare here, they’ve really beenhelpful. A lot of people havegone above and beyond tohelp me get settled, to get sit-uated. Anything that I’veneeded, there’s been some-body available to help.

Q. You played in the SEC,so what’s it like to now becoaching in the SEC?

A. The SEC, obviously, isa special league to me, anddefinitely one of the top inthe country. I’m a little bit bi-ased, but I think it’s the bestin the country. So to be ableto be back here and coachingin it, again, is a great oppor-tunity. Just for me, a greatsituation.

Q. You were recruiting co-ordinator for two years atHofstra. What kind of roleare you going to play in re-cruiting here at UK?

A. The way they do re-cruiting here is everyone hasa hand in it, everyone plays apart. Matt Insell is headingup recruiting this year for usand he does a fabulous job.To be able to play a part inthat, learn from Matt and beable to use my experiences,hopefully we’ll be able to re-cruit some top kids.

Q. What’s it going to belike when the team travels toGainesville (Fla.) this seasonand you’re back in your oldstomping grounds?

A. I think it will be a greatatmosphere. I loveGainesville, but I’m happy tobe a Wildcat and happy to behere in Lexington.

Q. How do you feel aboutplaying Baylor, the defendingnational champions?

A. Second game of theyear? (laughs) It’ll be a greatchallenge for us. These girlshave shown they can rise to achallenge. It’ll be a great testfor us, certainly, and we’relooking forward to going thereand playing our best game.

Q. What have you seenout of this year’s team? Whatcan be expected?

A.We’re looking forwardto a great year. We have agreat bunch of girls that real-ly work hard. They did agreat job this summer of real-ly putting in the work withcoach (Stephanie) Tracey(-Simmons) that is needed tobe a championship team.

UK Hoops will take onBellarmine on Nov. 5 in an ex-hibition to open the season be-fore hosting Delaware State onNov. 10 and traveling to Waco,Texas, to play Baylor on Nov.13.

UK head coach Jon Lipsitz’swomen’s soccer team touts one of thenation’s best recruiting classes, an in-tense schedule and the possibility ofanother NCAA Tournament berth in2012.

Lipsitz took the Cats to the NCAATournament in for the first time since2006 during his third season as coachlast year.

Despite having home-field advan-tage, UK ended its season with apenalty-shootout loss to WashingtonState after playing to a 1-1 draw inregulation.

The loss capped a season thatmarked strong growth for the programand gave UK fans a lot to look for-ward to.

UK outscored its opponents 35 to26 on the season. Play from freshmanArin Gilliland and senior Kelsey Hun-yadi garnered All-SEC tags for both

players and a stellar recruiting classfor the next season was alreadystarting to shape up. Hunyadihas graduated, but Gilliland isamong nine returningstarters.

This year’s recruit-ing class, made up of15 newcomers, in-cludes former U-14, U-15, U-17 and U-18Women’s National squad mem-bers and the 2011 National SoccerCoaches Association of America All-America Scholar Athlete of the Year,Haleigh Hoff.

UK looks to succeed against atough schedule, including gamesagainst nine teams in the final 2011RPI top 50.

Seven of the Cats’ 11 SEC gameswill be played at the UK Soccer Com-plex, which sports a new video score-board.

The Cats will host South Carolinaon Oct. 19, a game that will be tele-

vised on Fox Sports South. Anotherbig game this season will be

against in-state rivalLouisville, which is rankedNo. 14 on TopDrawer-Soccer.com, at the Cardi-nal Classic on Sept. 7.The Cats beat the Cardi-nals in Lexington last

season, 2-0. The head coachinsists that his team doesn’t

focus on predictions, long-termgoals and rankings but is interested in“excellence every day.”

“For us, excellence is getting bet-ter every single day,” Lipsitz said.“It’s being our best every single day.”

Though he doesn’t talk about win-ning and losing, he does find it impor-tant to talk about the development ofthe program.

“If we follow the process of get-ting better every day, of being our bestand being excellent every day, in theend we will achieve more than we didlast year,” Lipsitz said.

CHRISTOPHER EPLING, Kernel cartoonist

Four months ago, I was a bright-eyed, anxious high school seniorawaiting the day I finally left home.

At that time, Ithought I was ac-complishing one oflife’s milestones bymaking the decisionto move in early.Much to my dismay,and complete lack ofknowledge, I madethe wrong decision.

Unlike many ofmy classmates, I amnot from Kentucky. Iwas born and raiseda Hoosier. Notice

that I did not choose IU — for goodreasons, too. I was elated when I wasaccepted to UK, and ready to get in-volved in every activity. That includedapplying to a Living Learning pro-gram. I do not regret applying to the

LLP, but early move-in was daunting.I was naive and thought the transi-

tion would be easy. I thought movingin ahead of time would help me ad-just. The extra time that I had createdbigger problems, like adjusting to theculture in Lexington. Not only do Ifeel somewhat isolated not knowingthe city or the people, there are alsonew accents and distinct vocabularyto learn. Even in Indiana, there aredifferent expectations regarding be-havior and (at least for girls) dress. Istill have no clue why Kentucky’s ca-sual is still dressy; sweatpants are “A-OK” and always will be.

Being at UK ahead of time has al-lotted me a lot of downtime. Forsomeone like me, this can be usedcreatively or incoherently. Lately, Ihave been on a cycle of cleaning andorganizing. I guess college has awak-ened hidden obsessive-compulsivetendencies. The time has given me

opportunities to figure out how long ittakes to get to the library from NorthCampus. I’ve also learned that walk-ing or running to the Johnson Centeris a good workout that has no pointwhen I encounter pancakes at CSF.

K Week has helped keep me busy,but in a way that makes me feelbabysat. It provides great opportuni-ties to meet fellow classmates andeven a few of my professors, but ithas proven very hard to meshamongst the freshman class. On thebright side, I’ve finally learned wherea majority of important buildings arewhile simultaneously toning my legs.

This week has let me meet inter-esting people and get ahead of thegame. It also has been crafted to feellike a lifetime. I’m looking forward to my freshman year and to better un-derstand Kentucky’s geography.
