Author:
Youth see

By Rochelle Haliburton

Think you know how black people
vote? Think again. said an author
speaking at UK Monday.

Author and political analyst Keli
Goff will give a free speech from 6 to
8 pm. in the main auditorium of Me-
morial Hall. She will also appear at a
book signing from 5 to 6 pm. in the
foyer of Memorial Hall.

Goff is the author of “Party
Crashing: How the Political Genera—
tion Declared Political Independence."
which discusses a new generation of
black voters who challenge the notion
that a person's skin color should color
their politics.

In the book. Goff writes about her
study of black Americans between 18
and 45. In her book. she cites a survey
she conducted. which found a third of
younger black Americans no longer
feel they need to define themselves as
members of a traditional party.

Goff attributes the change in how
young black people vote to a growing
black influence in language. fashion.

“After all. when members of your
race begin to define American culture.
it becomes harder to believe that your
politics should be defined by the sup-
pression of your race." Goff says in
the introduction to her book. “and yet

Season

insects

By Noha El Maraghi
news@kykernelcom

As the temperature drops with the
change in seasons. students may think
the number of pests will dip as well.

Think again.

Yellow jackets. homets. wasps and
other stinging insects are much more
aggressive at this time of year. said
Gregory Millard. owner of Advanced
Pest Solutions. a Lexington pest control
company.

That means they are often more
likely to sting in pursuit of the last meals
of the season.

Insects may also be likely to set up
habitats in students‘ homes or apart—
ments. Millard said he has fielded a
number of complaints about hives set
up in gaps in the structure of houses
and in the ground.

Older houses are especially at risk
because they have cracks and gaps
more often than newer houses. he said.

An especially dry fall has played a

CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

Facebook expanding to employers

By Grace Topic
"9W5 Y orne .com

A staple in the lives of many
college students is grabbing the at-
tention of employers.

Companies are using the Face-
book Web site to recruit and talk
with students. said Grace Hahn.
the employer relations associate at
UK's Stuckert Center.

For example. Procter and
Gamble uses the social network-
ing Web site to post events. Local
business Big Ass Fans uses Face-
book to notify people about re-
cruitments events and accessible
updates on their fan page.

Big Ass Fans uses Facebook
not to recruit. but to get feedback
on the business. said Cathy Stein-

hauser. who was a contract re-
cruiter for Big Ass Fans through
last week.

“I think the cross—section of
the population you get there it just
gives you a variety of comments
and opinions Steinhauser said.

Big Ass Fans doesnt check
potential employees' Facebook
pages before hiring. although they
do validate information on re-
sumes and perform a background
check. Steinhauser said.

However. some businesses
have started to use social network-
ing sites for background checks on
job applicants.

Twenty—two percent of em-
ployers check networking sites
like Facebook during the hiring
process. according to a 2008 sur-

vey by CareerBuilder. In 2006.
about ll percent used such sites.

Danitra Wallace. a staff sup-
port associate at the Stuckert Ca—
reer Center. said the center does
not check Facebook for informa—
tion or pictures of students for its
database.

The Stuckert Center uses its
own database that has a profile for
each student.

The database has specific and
helpful information about stu-
dents. but they only list the profes-
sional information needed about
students such as past employers.
Hahn said.

The scope of Facebook even
reaches high school students. al—
though many students may not
need to worry.

WWW. KYKERNEL. COM

A Kaplan survey of admis—
sions officers from the nation's top
colleges and universities showed
10 percent of the officers check
networking sites of applicants. UK
does not use Facebook in its ad-
missions process.

Middle Tennessee State Uni-
versity is among those that use
Facebook for undergraduate appli-
cants. but it is more for recruiting
purposes. said Lynn Palmer. the
university's director of admissions.

Interested students can be-
come “fans“ on their Facebook
page. allowing the page moderator
access to their profiles. But they
don‘t look at them for incriminat-
ing information.

Thousands get fit downtown Sunday

By Laurenfrather

Bike polo players and people
with hula-hoops may not be usual

North Limestone Sunday during a
festival downtown.

At least 2.500 people attended
the Second Sunday festival. ( n

Berger. chair of Second Sunday.

Sunday‘s events included mu—

incorporated a 40-mile bike ride to

Seventy-one of Kentucky 's

120 counties participated Sunday
in the festival. Berger said. Each
county had its own set of events.
Kentucky is the first state to
host the Second Sunday festival
and several other states are looking
into holding a similar event. said
Diana Doggett. Fayette County Ex—
tension Agent for IJK‘s Family and

The Second Sunday festival is
a "community collaborative effort

Doggett while participating in a

Doggett said the festival is a

Ethiopia-equation!”

Five—star recruit Daniel Orton
committed to UK on Sunday after-
noon at the Lexington Hyatt Hotel
in front of several Cats fans and a
handful of members of the UK bas—
ketball team.

Orton. who is rated as a top-3
center by both Scout and Rivals in
the class of 2009. attended Big Blue
Madness Friday night after Kansas
head coach Bill Self informed him
that Kansas would no longer be able
to offer him a scholarship. Howev-
er. Orton was quick to say that Ken—
tucky had been his first choice all
along.

“It wasn't like Kentucky was

the second choice or a backup plan.
It just made my decision a lot easier.
I had rny heart set on Kentucky be-
fore. so with Kansas doing that it

just made my decision a lot easier."

Fans that packed into Rupp Are-
na for Big Blue Madness chanted Or-
ton‘s name at every available oppor-
tunity. Though Orton wasn‘t sure
how to respond initially. he eventual—
ly loosened up and waved to fans.

“At first it was awkward be-
cause you really don‘t know what to
do. but by the end I just stood up
and waved. It was just a great feel-
ing. all those people cheering my
name. I just felt really special."

Orton was reluctant to say
whether or not he would follow the
recent trend of high-profile players

attending college for one year be-
fore jumping to the NBA. saying
top rated players like himself “have
to do what s best for them."

A 6-foot-Ifl post player. Orton
said his style of play is represented
by “a little bit of poWer and fi—
nesse." and that he is looking for-
ward to helping nm the UK offense.
which places an emphasis on mov-
ing the ball through the big men.

This marks the second time in
three years that UK head coach Bil-
ly Gillispie was able to secure a
commitment from the No. l2 player
in the nation. According to
Scoutcom. both Orton and sopho-
more forward Patrick Patterson
were ranked as the No. 12 player in
their recruiting classes.

After four first—half
turnovers, four missed field
goals and a last-minute quar-
terback change, surely UK
(4-2. 0-2 Southeastern Con-
ference) could have broken
another streak. leaped over
another hurdle in their quest
to no longer be a football af~

But if UK is going to add
South Carolina to their list of
programs to leap over. it
won‘t be this year.

record over the Cats to 16—0

“We just couldn’t get

junior linebacker Micah
Johnson said. “Usually who-
ever gets the most turnovers
will win. But the ones we got
didn't result into points."

Just one week after being
named SEC Offensive Player
of the Week, Gamecock quar—
terback Chris Smelley gave
UK every opportunity to win.
Smelley threw two intercep-
tions, including the first inter»
ception of the game which

Munnerlyn scooped the ball
off the bounce and beat
everyone to the endzone.

Youth must show respect,

By Rochelle Halibunon

Té’viistikykernel com

Young black men need
guidance from their elders and
respect for education to 1m»
prove their standing rrt society.
a (leorgia judge said dunng a
speech in Lexuigton Saturday.

Over 201) people attended
"Rewriting the Script: Issues
Impacting African American
Males" Saturday at [math
Missionary Baptist Church.
UK‘s African American Stud-
ies and Research Program
sponsored the event.

During the speech. Judge
Marvin S. Arrington Sr. ad—
dressed the topics of youth
and crime. drugs. the role of
fathers in the lives of black
men and the result of their
absence. and the importance
of education for African
Americans.

Arrington. who is black.
said black ancestors. who
struggled so future genera-
tions could get a quality edu-
cation. He said it is a “slap in
the face to them" because

young people are often disre~
spectful to their parents and
teachers. will not go to school
for education and will not
work hard enough to be suc—
cessful with their life.

One solution Arrington
said could help steer young
black men in the right direc—

tion is simply getting in
volved in their lives.

“It takes courage to do the
right thing." Arrington said in
his lecture. “Sometimes you
have to intervene in the lives
of today's youth in order to
make a difference.“

Arrington did not talk
much about his controversial
decision earlier this year to
order white people out of his
courtroom so he could talk to
a group of young black de-
fendants. In interviews fol-
lowing his decision, Arring-
ton said he ordered the court—
room ejection to have a frank
conversation with the young
black men about what they
should do about their futures.

He said Saturday he ap-
peared on CNN to defend his
actions and tell people he is
not a racist.

He said he made the deci-
sion earlier this year because
he was fed up with seeing so
many young black defendants
in his courtroom and wanted
to address them without the
presence of white people to
have a greater impact. ac—
cording to news reports.

After seeing Arrington ap-
pear on CNN talking about
the expulsion. Sonja Feist-
Price. the director of UK‘s
African American Studies and
Research Program. was inter-
ested in arranging the speech.

Feist-Price said she was
struck by his desire to talk
with people as a family and as
a community. and she hoped
he would be able to deliver a
message of learning that
would enable black men and
women to become empow—
ered and to impact change.

Chester Grundy. director
of the Office of Multicultural
Student Programming, said it
was "refreshing to hear some-
body talk about the right
thing to do.“

“It reminds us that it is
not just the obligation or re—
sponsibility of individuals of
single-parent households. but
a dedication to our ancestors.
who created a legal environ-
ment to give black people a
fair chance." Grundy said.

During his speech. Arring-
ton also talked about his past.
including the struggle to
achieve his dream of becoming
a lawyer. No law school in the
South would accept blacks ex-
cept for Howard University
when he entered law school in
the early 1960s. he said.

He remembered riding in
the back of the train just to
get to Howard University.
forced to sit in the back be-
cause of his skin color.

"I made a pledge I would
come back to the South and
make a difference." Arrington
said.

that is just what has long de-
fined black America‘s
decades-long relationship
with the Democratic Party: a
relationship that some
younger black Americans
have begun to question."
Sonja Feist—Price. the div
rector of the African Ameri—
can Studies and Research

Program. said she wanted
Goff to come and address the
university because UK is of-
fering a class through the pro-
gram analyzing Goff’s book
in the political process of this
year's elections.

“In terms of being active-
ly engaged. Goff’s book
brings to light the role of
young adults recognizing the
significance of the elections
and the implications on a na-
tional and international level
for social and cultural

change.” Feist-Price said.

Feist-Price said Goff is
interesting because she is one
of the young. up—and-coming
political analysts involved in
