UK Transportation Services upgraded biking facilities across campus.

More than 400 new bicycle parking spaces were added to campus. Most of the new spaces were added for University Flats and Lewis Hall, more than half of which are covered. Twenty new spaces were added to Kroger Field West Blue Lot Bus Shelter and 20 more were added near Woodland Glen 2.

Aside from adding new spaces, UK Transportation Services has taken steps toward making existing bike parking more secure and efficient. Two hundred spaces have been upgraded.

To avoid having bicycles stolen, students are encouraged to keep them securely locked.

“Always lock up your bike, even if you will only be away from it for a minute,” UK Transportation Communications Officer Chrissie Tune said.

Bicycle repair stations were transferred from South Campus Commons to Agricultural Science Center North. Repair stations are also located on Patterson Drive, at Blazer Dining, the UK College of Nursing, the William T. Young Library, the Johnson Center, the Rose Street Garage and

adjacent to the Oswald building, according to UKNow. Wildcat Wheels Bicycle Library (WWBL) has been renovated to be more bike friendly. WWBL is located on the first floor of Blazer Dining.

Free checkout and repair are also included.

Students have been taking notice of the new bicycle accommodations on campus.

“There’s an abundance of spots,” sophomore Yeinye Soko said.

A bicycle voucher program was established in 2015 that

gives up to 100 students and employees four $100 vouchers.

Participants can use the vouchers at local bicycle shops to purchase a bike or gear for a bicycle they already own. They receive ten scratch-off parking passes and the opportunity to buy 40 scratch-off permits when they need a car on campus.

Students do have the opportunity to back out of the voucher program.

“Those who drop out of the bike voucher program may need to repay a portion of their voucher if it has already been

used,” Tune said.

Scratch-off permits are one day passes that resemble a scratch-off lottery ticket which, when scratched, reveals the day, month and year in which it can be used. The permits cost $3.50 and are only valid in non-gated surface lots and parking structures.

The goal of the bicycle voucher program is to reduce the number of single-occupancy motor vehicle trips to, from and around campus, and

“He’s just the worst possible person to be the most powerful person in the country,” claimed former UK professor John D. Stempel after calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment in a Lexington Herald-Leader opinions piece.

Stempel has a long, impressive career in foreign relations to back up the conclusion of his piece that Trump must “resign or see (himself) destroyed.”

Before he arrived at UK in 1988, Stempel had a 25year career in the foreign service. He had overseas assignments in many countries, including Iran during its revolution. His time in Tehran gave him the knowledge to write “Inside the Iranian Revolution,” a book first published in 1981. He has since written a second book, “Common Sense and Foreign Policy.”

At UK, he was a senior professor in the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce.

He served as associate director of the school for five years and director for ten.

He said that eventually the Patterson School was “one of the best programs in the country.”

He retired from UK in 2013, ending his second 25year career.

Trump’s Mistakes “Where to start?” Stempel said of what Trump’s number one offense might be.

He’s just the worst possible person to be the most powerful person in the country.

“The two best American-Russian experts I know say that he’s dirty to the core,” Stempel said.

“They’re absolutely convinced that Robert Mueller will have enough evidence to put him away to jail for years.”

The key is for someone to “have guts enough” to find and use the evidence. Stempel said he believes Mueller, who is the special prosecutor investigating any connections between Trump and Russia, has the guts.

A second major offense, Stempel said, is Trump’s “blatant disregard of the

UK employees prepare for possible rally

By Bailey Vandiver news@kykernel.com

Several weeks ago, a white nationalist rally on the University of Virginia’s campus began a weekend of violence that dominated national news.

Now the threat of a similar rally hangs over UK’s campus, since Lexington Mayor Jim Gray announced plans to relocate Confederate statues.

UK employees across many departments have prepared for the moment if and when a rally takes place on UK’s campus.

Several UK employees spoke about campus safety measures in light of the recent rhetoric: Associate Vice President for Student Engagement Victor Hazard of the Office of the Vice President for Institutional Diversity; Counseling Center Director Dr. Mary Chandler Bolin; UK Police Chief Joe Monroe; and Interim Dean of Students Nicholas Kehrwald.

Preparing to Keep Campus Safe All expressed their commitment to keep any event peaceful and safe.

Monroe said his department’s role would be main-

taining safety and security on campus. He urged students to voice their opinions respectfully without engaging in antagonism from people with opposing views.

The UK Counseling Center has a proactive and a responsive role, Bolin said.

“As we hear that there may be concerns about protests or other actions that might come to Lexington, certainly continuing what we already do, which is to reach out to students, particularly students who may be minoritized or marginalized,” Bolin said.

“That’s ongoing.”

Bolin said that preparation for this sort of event did not start just weeks ago. Resources and plans were in place long before the Charlottesville rallies.

Bolin and Kehrwald both cited the Community of Concern and Bias Incident Support Services as resources for students.

Kehrwald said his department works for everyone to understand “the expectations if something like this were to happen,” as well as how to engage in appropriate ways.

Listening to Students Hazard said he has been

working with the Martin Luther King Center and its director Kahlil Baker to gauge students’ reaction and concerns, as well as to prepare a possible “alternative event” if or when protests arrive. “(We’re) listening to what the student voice is, so we’re shaping things that would be of interest to them in the context of safety,” Hazard said.

“I’ve got two of these ears for a reason,” Hazard said about listening to students’ views.

Bolin said she is encouraged because these sorts of conversations about creating an inclusive community at UK are healthy and productive at any time, not just when potential conflict like this arises.

“We’ve been trying to do a lot of outreach with student leaders,” Kehrwald said. He said his department wants to make sure student leaders and other students they work with are informed about campus resources.

“I have a right to take my impressions, my feelings, my values, my protests to the community as well if I’m a student, as long as you’re abiding by the policies,” Hazard said.

Students who participate in a rally of any kind will be held to the Student Code of Conduct as well as local and state policies and laws.

Students participating in a rally proclaiming any views and beliefs will receive the same protections and resources, as long as they abide by all rules.

Kehrwald said he does not want any UK students to infringe on others’ right to free speech, which could result in their arrest or discipline on campus.

“We typically aren’t going to shut down a lot of speech from a content perspective,” Kehrwald said.

But speech can become unlawful, Kehrwald said, which would then be handled by UKPD.

Protecting Free Speech The possibility of a rally here naturally creates a free speech discussion, including where free speech ceases to be protected.

Creating a Community UK is a community of thousands of students, faculty and employees, all with unique backgrounds and belief systems.

“My approach tends to be really looking at community.

How as people who live and work and play as a community, how do we do that in a way that’s healthy for everybody?” Bolin said. “And I think people can have profound differences of opinion about their values, about their beliefs, and it does not have to be demeaning to others.”

People come to college to become more educated, Hazard said.

“We can learn in the classroom and learn outside the classroom,” Hazard said.

“When these social issues are presented to us, it causes me to reflect on what I do believe.” He said he learns more when counterpoints are presented to him.

“At the heart of engagement is conversation,” Hazard said, “and hopefully that’s respectful conversation.”

“The university has a role in helping engage in these conversations,” Kehrwald said.

If a rally does occur in Lexington or on campus, students can reach out to any of these organizations as well as many other resources available on campus.

to promote modes of transportation that save money, foster healthier lifestyles and have lower environmental impacts, according to UK Transportation Services.

To be eligible for the voucher program, students must return their current parking permit to Transportation Services and sign a two-year carfree commitment that makes the participant ineligible to purchase a new motor vehicle permit for two full years.

Students will be able to return their permit for a pro-rated refund. Residential students are not eligible to participate in the bicycle voucher system. Participants must have an expected graduation year of at least two years after the signing of the car-free commitment.

Fake ids collected at Two Keys on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2017, in Lexington, Kentucky.

Many people may have a misconception about impeachment, that when a president is “impeached,” he is removed from office. In fact, impeachment is more like an indictment, as a charge of misconduct made against the president.

Two U.S. presidents (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton) have been impeached, but neither were ultimately removed from office. Richard Nixon, the only president to leave office for a reason other than death, resigned to avoid impeachment.

Step 1: The House of Representatives votes on articles of impeachment. The president is impeached if at least one article gets a majority vote.

Step 2: It moves to the Senate, where the Supreme Court chief justice (currently John Roberts) oversees a trial. House lawmakers are the prosecutors, lawyers defend the president and the Senate is the jury.

Step 3: If two-thirds of senators vote that the president is guilty, he is removed from office. In this case, Vice President Mike Pence would take over as president. If fewer than two-thirds of senators vote guilty, the president is acquitted and is allowed to remain in office.

American political system.”

He said Trump wants to run the government like a “tin-pot dictator,” which is a Victorian-era phrase that refers to a ruler with little political credibility and delusions of grandeur.

“I think what you’re going to see at the end of this saga, whether it comes in a month or three months or whatever, is going to be one of the most disastrous episodes in American government that we’ve ever seen,” Stempel said.

“This is way worse than Watergate,” he wrote in the column. “Our national soul is at stake.”

Family Business In 1928, a young woman was on a reporting team at the “Indianapolis Times” that exposed the Ku Klux Klan’s involvement in state politics.

The reporting ultimately led to the conviction of Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson, who was caught murdering and raping a woman.

The young female reporter and her three male teammates investigated, sometimes with state police

protection. Other times they weren’t so protected, and she would carry a shotgun in the car when they traveled.

That young woman became Stempel’s mother.

“I heard this story 40 years later from one of her colleagues, and they called her Shotgun Mary,” Stempel said.

Stempel said this part of his family history may explain why he feels so strongly about the Ku Klux Klan’s role in the recent political turmoil.

“When your mother has been involved in fighting the Klan as a young woman herself, under difficult circumstances, it’s hard for me to put up with any crap from people who are so un-American and just ugly,” Stempel said.

Stempel’s opinions piece in the Herald-Leader came just days after the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Trump’s “belated condemnation” of the white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

Stempel wrote that he could not believe more Republican congressmen had not made comments condemning the white supremacists.

“Nor can I believe that the

party of Abraham Lincoln is not willing to call Trump on inciting and inflaming violence and prejudice,” Stempel wrote.

Students’ Vested Interest College students barely old enough to vote may find themselves uninterested or uninvolved in politics. But Stempel said this is not right.

“If you’re of college age, male or female, and particularly male, if you’re not interested in what’s going on, you’re damn well going to end up in the military later on if you don’t,” Stempel said.

There could be more than just foreign affairs implications, Stempel said. Trump’s removal from office, however it comes, could “destroy the fabric of government,” which includes student loans, for example.

Stempel said that concerned students can push for Trump to leave office, or even for him to be convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors.

“The overwhelming majority of Americans should have a vested interest in getting him and his cronies out of office,” Stempel said.

“This is not happy politics.”

Tips for making a good impression in college BLAKE BLEVINS Opinions Editor

As students begin to settle into a semblance of routine, many find themselves mindlessly going through the motions of college. These students will attend class, do assignments and fulfill their other obligations without ever turning a head.

No student wants to graduate without peers to support them or mentors who remember the student’s time in class well enough to boost them into a common field. In order to avoid this, there are several seemingly simple tips.

Students should always look presentable. College culture has changed a lot, and favors the ‘athleisure’ style sported by most young adults.

Despite the shallowness of it all, appearances speak volumes. Professors are more likely to present opportunities to the student dressed in chino shorts and a button down than the student in Nike sweatpants.

Make a vow to save the athletic clothes until after regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) have passed.

Soon, it’ll be a routine.

More important than showing up dressed nicely is showing up on time. A lot of students struggle with punctuality, as do a lot of professionals.

Do not, however, just accept the predestined five-minute late arrival.

Make an effort to be on time for every obligation, and progress will surely follow.

After showing up, making use of your time in class, at meetings or other events

is imperative. If students simply show up, listen and leave, they are not likely to be remembered.

Professors, bosses and advisors won’t soon forget the student who asked thoughtful, relevant questions and responded actively to the information presented. Lean in, interact and let your presence be felt.

Although students may be participating extensively in a class, there may be other students who are also interacting in other classes.

After teaching several sections, specific classes often blend together in the minds of professors. In order to secure your spot in their mental contact book, visit during office hours. Bring a question, comment or expression of gratitude relating to the most recent lecture, and it’s sure to be received well.

Having a strong presence for class-related functions is important, but UK is a community stretching far beyond academics.

If students are to truly make a name for themselves, they must also be present in other facets of campus life.

In order to accomplish this, join organizations and volunteer time. People spend the majority of their time on campus not in the classroom; be a part of that.

Attracting positive attention from surrounding people is a crucial skill to master. Unfortunately, its benefits are easily overlooked. Couple that with the amount of thought and effort it takes to make a positive impression on someone, and it’s not surprising that standout students are so rare.

Making a conscious decision to positively impact those surrounding you, however, is a first step that will accomplish much.

UK doesn’t need to spend any more money on parking KELSEY MATTINGLY Assistant Opinions Editor

What does UK actually need? Updated classroom buildings.

Many students complain about on-campus parking, or the lack thereof. While their complaints are not unwarranted—the university continues to throw up campus housing that likely will not make it 10 years, rather than adding much needed parking for students—I think there is a more important issue at hand.

UK wants to attract students, as any public university would. However, they are primarily utilizing the newly built Gatton College of Business and Economics and the dorms that took less than a summer to build to do so.

When a student comes to tour UK, are they going to show them White Hall and Funkhouser or Gatton and Champions Court?

Every student who lives on campus at UK will complain about student parking. Unfortunately, this is slow to happen because the focus on construction the last several years has focused on campus housing.

That is not to say UK has completely ignored campus reconstruction of classroom facilities. The Gatton College of Business and Economics received a major renovation

The Trump problem hits close to home SAADIA AKHTAR Kernel Columnist

On Saturday, the Fayette County Republican Party’s office on Southland Drive was vandalized with graffiti saying “Nazi scum” and “Die Nazi.”

Both the Kentucky Democratic Party and Lexington Mayor Jim Gray denounced the violence and called for unity.

This is just one of the few incidents that have affected Lexington in the past few weeks that have stemmed from what is occurring in this country nationally.

Trump’s refusal to explicitly denounce the Nazi terrorists in Charlottesville prompted them to plan a rally in Lexington.

The Republican Party’s continuation to back Trump (in hope of tax cuts for rich?) has also isolated the left and moderate faction of this coun-

that began in 2013 and rang up a $65 million budget.

This was part of Kentucky’s capital improvement plan (House Bill 7) that was approved under Governor Beshear. This plan was set to include Gatton, a new science building and the improvements that were made to Kroger Field and the football amenities.

The only way people on the right and left can put their differences aside is if both sides meet halfway.

At the moment, it seems like the burden of unification is falling upon the left, which is making many of them lash out and commit acts of vandalism like that on Saturday.

Many Republicans are having their identities be ruined by a small percentage of people who try to besmirch their names—Trump and the white supremacists he is emboldening are ruining the face of the Republican Party.

What can be done?

Thousands of longtime Republicans are leaving their party, upset by what Trump has made it. But that is not the solution.

The moderate and true conservatives need to stay and fight for their party. Only then can both sides truly put aside their political differences for the sake of a more unified United States.

science research building, supposedly to be finished this spring.

These are all admirable efforts by university officials to get the campus moving in the right direction in terms of an up-to-date college experience. However, it is imperative that primary buildings nearly every student occupies at some point during their UK experience should be the focus of these efforts.

Buildings of this nature include the White Hall Classroom Building (1969), the Funkhouser Building (1942) and Patterson Office Tower (1968).

Does it seem like UK is now the University of Kenstruction? Yes, to alumni, our campus is almost un-

recognizable and filled with constant road and sidewalk closures. But at least it can be said they are trying to give students a better campus experience.

In terms of priority, it would make more sense to upgrade more commonly used and older buildings ahead of building new ones.

Perhaps the higher-ups have information most students do not to support their reasoning behind these upgrades.

In the long-run though, some would much rather see Kentucky give students the classroom experience they so desperately spend years of high school looking for than throwing up parking garages.

try, leading them to believe that the Republican party supports Trump and his actions.

While Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and numerous other Republican congressmen denounced President Trump’s controversial “both sides” remark in response to the events in Charlottesville, the fact remains that they are still willing to work with Trump to pass a conservative agenda.

In fact, the vast majority of congressional Republicans are continuing to support Trump’s decisive agenda.

Actions speak louder than words.

Republicans need to start voting against Trump’s proposals, instead of just tweeting out their disagreements with Trump whenever their political reputation is at stake.

People on both sides of the aisle talk about wanting to “come together” and to “be united.” But these words ring hollow for many of those on the left, who cheer when they see Paul Ryan denounce Trump’s controversial statements, but then become frus-

lexstyle Underground UK Flexing through the year

By Megan Brown features@kykernel.com

It’s two weeks into the semester. The taste of home cooked meals are long gone and they have since been replaced with the insatiable and repetitive food of dining halls.

The unidentifiable smells of Bowman’s Den have become the new normal and there’s only one thing offering a glimmer of hope: Flex Dollars.

With meal plan hours being from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Flex Dollars are a valuable commodity for students across campus. If used correctly they can last the entire semester and break up the monotony of normal meal swipes.

However, if used wrong, Flex Dollars can be gone within the first three weeks of the school year.

These are the most useful ways for students to use their Flex throughout the semester.

One of the most practical ways to save Flex is by using two meal swipes instead of one.

At Wildcat Deal locations

underground uk such as Chick-fil-a, Subway and Panda Express, students can go to the register and ask to use two meals swipes rather than using one and paying for the rest of the meal with Flex.

Getting a meal including a drink almost always comes out to more than the allotted seven dollars to use a meal swipe.

By students using two meal swipes they can conserve Flex for the entire semester. Meal swipes go away at the end of each week but Flex dollars roll over after the first semester, so the more Flex dollars students save, the more they can use later in the upcoming semester.

UK’s Dining website advertises that Common Grounds

Coffee House and K Lair are open for Wildcat Deals between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m.

While this is true, both restaurants also accept meal swipes throughout the day such as other locations around campus.

By only closing meal swipe hours for six hours, students will rarely have to use Flex Dollars at these locations.

Also, if students have a sweet tooth and are craving one of Steak n’ Shake’s classic milkshakes, the best time to go is between 2 and 4 p.m. on weekdays. During this time shakes are half priced and will save students valuable Flex Dollars they can use on other

food or items for their dorm.

Finally, if students want to splurge a little, Papa Johns on Avenue of Champions accepts Flex Dollars.

Papa Johns also has a deal, “When the Cat’s win, you win!” The deal offers customers 45 percent off online orders with the code “CATS45” when UK wins a game in basketball or football.

While meal swipe hours are a constant stage for controversy, the amount of Flex Dollars included in meal plans doesn’t have to be if students capitalize on all the opportunities around campus to save money throughout the semester.

The College of Communication and Information at UK has announced that Dr. Mike Farrell, one of the professors in the School of Journalism and Media, will serve as its Interim Director for the 201718 academic year.

Farrell, who has been a part of UK’s staff for almost seventeen years, plans to use his time in the position to help the school evolve through new offerings and staff while

keeping the heart of its programs alive and well.

“I’m excited about the possibilities,” Farrell said. “I think the school is in a good place because of our strategic plan and the plans from the university to improve our facilities. We have a strong veteran faculty, who have a good variation of talents and interests.”

Before he came to UK’s campus, Farrell spent almost twenty years in various roles at the Kentucky Post, an afternoon newspaper that had a

FAKE IDS, REAL CONSEQUENCES: TAKING A CHANCE ON BEING CAUGHT RED-HANDED

ARTICLE BY RICK CHILDRESS | PHOTOS BY MICHAEL REAVES | NEWS@KYKERNEL.COM

“ONLY

need to pay a little time and money, you can own a new ID,” reads IDsbuddy.com, the website of an online fake ID distributor based in China.

The poor grammar is not the only thing that raises eyebrows. This underground business also offers shady promises: “On weekends and holidays, you can go to bars and parties with your friends, booze, girl, all night. More wonderful life depends on what you choose. All you have to do is contact us! Let us act.”

This sorry attempt at advertising does have a point.

For many underage college students, a “more wonderful life” does depend on what they choose. But what really leads to a better life? To own, or not to own, a fake ID? Understanding where fakes come from and the consequences they carry, for the user and the community, is necessary to make an informed choice on fake IDs. Many UK students have made fond memories at Lexington’s bars. But, fake IDs can have a profound effect on those bars and the students who make their beloved college memories at them.

Buying a fake ID Marcus Sell, a sergeant with the Lexington Police’s Alcoholic Beverage Control, has been investigating illegal alcohol distribution and fake IDs for close to a decade. In recent years, he’s seen college students primarily buy fakes online from other countries.

“The most common place is China,” Sell said.

Gone are the days of the clever college student who sells homemade fake IDs to make a little extra money.

That job, like many others, has been shipped off to places with cheaper labor and fewer regulations.

“Many [real IDs] come with laser engraving and the magnetic stripe on the back just like what your credit card has,” Sell said. “You know, it all becomes something big for a student to pull off or somebody in town to pull off. They’d have to have a very specialized printer and specialized material.”

Overseas manufacturers with specialized printers have capitalized on the ease of online shopping by selling fakes over the internet. To purchase a fake ID, a customer routes money, usually between $50 and $100, often to China, through Western Union or other money transfer services, to the bank accounts of a fake ID manufacturer like IDsbuddy. In a few weeks, a fake ID will arrive in the mail, often stuck between the pages of a book.

Some students choose to skip the ordering process entirely by simply using someone else’s fake or by using the real ID of an overage look-alike.

“There are [Face- KEVIN book] groups and pag- “TWEETER” es where someone will DEATHERAGE post, ‘Looking for an ID, with this color hair “I’ve actually had and this color eyes,’ people get out of and someone who is either of age or has a fake line when they see will say, ‘Oh, message me at the door. It’s me,’” said Janice Chase, a member of the Alpha a cat and mouse Chi Omega sorority at game for sure.”

pages like class pages and Sorority Swap have become known trading posts for fake IDs. Sorority Swap is where sorority women often trade clothes and accessories. “[Fake IDs] are not something that is endorsed by Greek life and Panhellenic,” Chase said. “It’s actually pretty frowned upon, but that does not mean people don’t have them and trade them.”

Spotting a fake Regardless of how an ID is acquired, the challenges at the bar or liquor store are still the same. Bouncers, uniformed police officers and even undercover officers stand in the way of the wannabe 21-year-old. Those who are trained at finding fakes say they can be identified mainly by noticing small details or just by knowing how they feel.

Two Keys Tavern, a popular bar among UK students, is known to have a no-nonsense fake ID policy.

“Two Keys steals IDs,” yelled a passing bar goer during an interview with Two Keys security manager, Kevin “Tweeter” Deatherage. He is a 15-year bar security veteran with a special ability to sniff out fake IDs. “I’ve actually had people get out of line when they see me at the door,” Deatherage said. “It’s a cat and mouse game for sure.”

Deatherage said that bending every ID at the door is a reliable way to spot a fake. When a real ID is bent the

Ryan Geoghegan has worked as a bouncer and security manager at Two Keys for 12 years. He is another expert on identifying fake IDs. “There are subtleties in every ID that you can say, ‘Hey, I already know this one’s fake because there’s a certain number on the back that’s not there,’ and at the same time you’re getting people that come from states like Connecticut. There’s not a lot of people coming from Connecticut to go to UK. So, there are a lot of things that throw red flags,” Geoghegan said.

Kristina Sturm has worked in bars for close to five years and has been the general manager at Two Keys for close to a year and a half. Sturm says that subpar fake IDs are becoming more common.

“The IDs also have been getting a lot worse. Like you’ll just look at it and you’re like, ‘I don’t even know how you seriously just handed this to me,’” Sturm said.

“That makes it a lot easier to catch the fake IDs because they’re so bad.”

“Last year, the Sunday before school started, I took 32 IDs at that door,” Geoghegan said. “My other door guy got about 10 or 12.”

Underage bar goers who use the real IDs of older look-alikes present a different challenge for the bar. The

The IDs also have been getting a lot worse.

Like you’ll just look at it and you’re like, ‘I don’t even know how you seriously just handed this to me.’

bouncers are tasked with identifying the differences between the ID and the person in front of them.

“You can kind of read body language and know, ‘You are going to be on the list of people that I look for,’” Deatherage said. “I tell [the bouncers] to find something about the person’s face first, then try to match it to the ID. A lot of times people will have freckles or moles— those are very distinctive, and the thing about girls is they never part their hair differently.”

Deatherage estimated that Two Keys usually collects 40 to 50 fakes per weekend and about 2,000 fakes per school year.

Caught red-handed When a bouncer finds that an ID is fake, he will usually take the card and tell the ID owner to leave. If the owner insists the ID is real then the bouncer will call the police over to verify.

“Most of the time probably, you’re OK. Your fake ID, it gets taken by the bouncer and you get sent away, you go home,” Sell said. “The other times, you’ve actually handed it to a police officer, and at a minimum, if you’re not going to jail, you’re going to get a citation and you’re

going to be commanded to appear in court on a certain day at a certain time.”

Deatherage has called on the police in the past.

“If we call [the police] they’re going to come and cite you,” Deatherage said. “I’ve had two different girls who pushed it to where the cops showed up. They told the cops that [their IDs] were real and the cops took them to jail.”

Sell warns against giving fakes to the police. “[Underage patrons] don’t usually give fakes to the police,” Sell said. “You know, they hand us their real IDs. Sometimes they try to start with the fake and it falls apart quickly. So, when we run it we start to look at identity theft and the felony level. So, it’s like, don’t go down this road. Don’t lie to us.”

The laws around fake IDs carry a variety of punishments. Simply misrepresenting one’s age to purchase alcohol is a misdemeanor. Claiming to be someone else, like an older fraternity or sorority member, is identity theft—a felony.

A court date and legal fees await the red-handed fake ID owner. Court decisions can vary, but first-time offenders can expect consequences.

“They’ll either sign you up to a diversion program where you’d be able to complete hours of community service and have it removed off your record,” Sell said.

“If that system is not available you’ll have to go through the normal court system which could include jail time or a fine. The unfortunate part is if it goes that route, it stays on your record.”

To summarize, getting caught and cited for having a fake ID can cost a student: A few hundred dollars in fines, costs incurred during the legal process, class time lost while going to court and doing community service and however much the fake ID cost. That’s a lot more than “a little time and money.”

Kroger Field introduces new ideas that should win over UK fans

By Tres Terrell sports@kykernel.com

Kevin “Tweeter” Deatherage, head of security for Two Keys Tavern, has a special ability to sniff out

fake IDs.

WILD CARD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

Bad for business Very few students know that an underage bar patron caught inside the establishment also carries penalties for the business.

“The businesses are held to a really high standard and for them to have a juvenile on the premises it could be a $300 or $400 fine, one time,” Sell said. “The penalties go up from there, and places have even had their licenses taken away for continually catering to juveniles before it just shuts down an entire business.”

Sturm, the Two Keys general manager, knows how fakes can affect bars.

“We could lose our liquor license. When people come in with fake IDs they don’t realize that.

They’re affecting a lot of people’s livelihoods.

The person who owns the bar, the people that work behind the bar, the people that manage,” Sturm said. “They think we’re just being mean and taking their IDs just to be like, ‘fun suckers.’ We’re just trying to keep them safe and out of trouble, and we want these bars to stay open because so many people have a good time at them.”

Two Keys security manager, Geoghegan, said that underage drinkers are a security risk.

“Not everybody walks out the door when you tell them it’s time to go,” Geoghegan said. “Especially when you find out that somebody is underage.”

Underage drinkers are more likely to make poor decisions with alcohol, like overdrink or drunk drive, which runs a major risk for the busi-

10 | kentucky kernel

ness that sells them alcohol.

“If you go to a liquor store, buy alcohol, get drunk, get in a wreck and hurt somebody, it ultimately comes back to the liquor store and they get charged for it,” Sell said. “Don’t get me wrong, in a situation like that, I feel bad for whoever is wrecked or is hurt because that’s way more important than a $4,000 fine for a business, but it still hurts them as well, so we try to look at it from both sides.”

What do students say?

“I think at 18, 19, 20, you don’t have a lot of life experience, so you’ve never been a business owner, or an entrepreneur that’s built something.

[Business owners] know what it could feel like to lose that, but as a younger adult you don’t really know,” said Chase, a political science sophomore. “You don’t want to be the one that ruins it for this entire establishment. This is someone’s livelihood, people make their money off this, but also at the end of the day there’s people who are like, ‘Not my bar, not my problem.’”

Jasmine Ruiz, a sophomore biology major, cited a pressure to have fun with older friends as a motivating factor for many students.

“So, if you’re someone who is 20 and your friends are 21, then your year is like right then,” Ruiz said. “You want to have fun when they’re having fun because when it’s your turn then, your friends have already done it all.”

A “more wonderful life” could come with a fake ID, but for some it comes at a cost that is far greater than “a little time and money.”

“They think they’re just going out for the one night, but I’ve seen kids get into trouble. Some of these kids want to be nurses, doctors, lawyers or teachers,” Geoghegan said. “That one night out can ruin your entire future plans.”

Back in May, when the news first broke out, the state of Kentucky mumbled some words under their breaths and rolled their eyes.

The thought of adjusting to the newly renamed football stadium of the Kentucky Wildcats was just absurd for most of the Big Blue Nation.

For years, some all their lives, their home away from home was known as Commonwealth Stadium.

Now it all of suddenly had been ripped of its name and sewed back on as Kroger Field? Some didn’t take kindly to that.

Now, nearly four months later, school is in session and the UK Football team will soon be taking the field for their home-opening game against Eastern Kentucky. But after all the dust has settled, the sky has become more clear and fans are warming up to the new name.

Kroger is approaching their newest location with a positive atmosphere and focuses on being involved in student life, with Kroger plus members and athletic departments all over the state, especially at UK. A new addition to the “pre-game” atmosphere in Lexington will be a VIP Tailgate event before each home game. As Kroger announced, “Kroger customers will be invited to a free tailgate featuring food and beverage with additional

details set to be announced in the coming weeks.”

There will also be priority lines set up for Kroger Plus Card Holders at the entry of Gate 6. Fans who aren’t Kroger Plus Card Holders can gain access to these lines by bringing canned goods, which will be donated to God’s Pantry on behalf of Kroger.

Once inside the stadium, fans can enjoy food provided by Kroger, as concession stands througout the stadium will sell a Kroger Meal Deal. The lower concourse concession stands will also offer healthier snack options provided by Simple Truth brand.

The partnership of Kroger Plus Members and Kentucky Football plans will be teaming up to make every gameday the best it can be.

All of the college kids living the student life have already benefitted from the newly branded field as well,

as Kroger provided grocery carts to help students move into their new residences as the Official Grocery Partner of Move-In. However, the impact of Kroger will reach out much further than UK’s campus.

Kroger has announced that they plan to provide grants across the Commonwealth of Kentucky to improve playing fields and facilities and benefit communities throughout the state.

A committee has been formed to identify and select the fields that will receive those grants.

Fans initially might not be a fan of the new football stadium name, but nearly everyone will benefit in some type of way from the newly named stadium. The new name might take some time to get used to, but things are finally turning around for the ones who used to prefer Commonwealth Stadium over Kroger Field.

Dean Hood predicts “a lot of emotion” when UK faces his old team

By Chase Campbell sports@kykernel.com

PHOTO PROVIDED BY UK ATHLETICS Dean Hood, UK Football’s special team’s cordinator, had a ten season coaching career with Eastern Kentucky University prior to his time at the University of Kentucky.

UK Football’s special teams coordinator and outside linebacker coach Dean Hood is in his first season at UK after a one-season stint at Charlotte, and a combined ten seasons coaching for Eastern Kentucky. His last eight years at EKU were spent as the head coach, where he led the Colonels to the FCS playoffs three times, while producing nine All-Americans.

Now, Hood must coach against EKU when the Colonels come to Lexington on Sept. 9. He was removed from his position at EKU in 2015, in spite of his excellent progress with the competitive team, and now is faced with battling some of the players that he coached.

“I haven’t thought about it a lot,” Hood said, but he also predicted there would be a good amount of “emotion” in

the game.

After Hood’s removal, he felt that he couldn’t do any healing by staying in Kentucky to continue to coach.

He went to Charlotte to continue working and to heal the wounds that his firing from EKU left him with. After taking the year away from the state of Kentucky, where Hood’s wife was born and raised, he said that coming back to coach in the state was “like coming home”.

“When we took the Eastern Kentucky job, our kids were six, four, two and a newborn,” Hood said in a press conference. “That’s all they’ve ever known.”

The homecoming will likely feel a bit awkward come Sept. 9, as Hood and Mark Stoops will be on the same sideline for only the second time ever while EKU sits on the opposite sideline. The last time Hood and Stoops both coached in the same

game was the last time EKU came to then-named Commonwealth Stadium in 2015, Hood’s last season.

The 2015 game itself isn’t what incited drama, however.

Even though the duel ended up in UK’s favor after the Cats scored two touchdowns in under eight minutes, there was another battle that took place earlier in the year that had all eyes on the Colonels as they came to Lexington.

That January, UK quarterback Drew Barker was punched in the back of the head by then-EKU defensive lineman Patrick Graffree after a fight in a Richmond bar.

The security footage went viral, and has followed Graffree and Barker around since the incident.

Barker is now a senior, as is UK wide receiver Dorian Baker, who was in the Richmond bar that night. Baker has to watch from the sideline due to an ankle injury,

but Barker may get a chance to play against the Colonels, provided he’s fully recovered from his season-ending injury he suffered in 2016.

With Hood’s removal from EKU being so fresh, players that he recruited and promised his commitment to must now play against a team coached by him, and even worse, against the Cats while they’re being coached

by Hood.

As with the last game the Colonels and Cats played against each other, Stoops will likely have a zero-tolerance violence policy like he publicized in 2015.

“If I see any of that stuff, a guy is not going to play,” Stoops said in 2015. Tension may come to a head on the ninth, especially given the fact that even Hood acknowledges that he “won’t really be able to explain until going through the game day,” how he feels about the game.

History shows that home-opening football games go well for UK

By Chris Leach sports@kykernel.com

One of the greatest days of the week at UK is rapidly approaching, and it has many fans buzzing.

It’s not Big Blue Madness, it’s not DanceBlue, it’s Caturdays.

The first Caturday of UK football’s highly anticipated season is only single digit days away, and many fans are excited to experience the pregame festivities that will take place outside of Kroger Field.

However, fans will gather around Kroger Field for one specific reason to watch a football game. The tailgating and spending time with friends is enjoyable, but without the football game, In the last 44 years everyone would take their preof UK home-opengame festivities elsewhere.

So how excited should fans be ers, the Cats are 33-10-1. The one tie for the home-opening football game? UK’s football team is on came in 1986, when the rise and they’ll be playing a team that they’ll certainly be fathe Cats and Rutgers couldn’t break vored to beat.

According to past history as a 16-16 tie in front well, fans should be very excitof over 57,000 fans. ed for the home-opening football game.

CAMERON SADLER I STAFF FILE PHOTO Jordan Jones attempts to tackle EKU cornerback Stanley Absanon during the UK vs. EKU football game on Oct. 4, 2015, in Lexington, Kentucky.

In the last 44 years of UK home-openers, the Cats are 33-101. The one tie came in 1986, when the Cats and Rutgers couldn’t break a 16-16 tie in front of over 57,000 fans.

In recent history, the Cats have been very good in home-openers. Despite last year’s loss to Southern Mississippi, UK had won the previous 10 home-openers, seven of which were victories over 30 points.

One of the victories in that 11-year span was a 40-point win over Eastern Kentucky in 2007. The Cats’ home-opener this season is against the Colonels, who UK has had success with in Kroger Field’s history.

Since 1973, UK has gone 4-0 against EKU in home games, and 2-0 in home-openers against EKU. The other home-opening victory over the Colonels came in 1998 when the Cats beat EKU 52-7.

It’s proven that UK performs well when they play in Lexington for the first time in their season, but what’s a season-opening win without having the fans scream with excitement from the stands?

Despite the excitement that surrounds the home-opener, UK has struggled to get fans in the seats for the first home game of the year. In the last 10 years, the home-opener was a top-three most attended game only twice.

However, one of those instances was last year, when large amounts of hype surrounded the team with goals of making it back to a bowl game.

With UK making their first bowl game in six seasons last year, the hype surrounding the football team this year is bigger than recent history, meaning it wouldn’t be a surprise to see many fans pack Kroger Field for UK’s home-opener on Sept. 9 against EKU. Kickoff time for the game is set for noon, and will be broadcasted on the SEC Network.

FARRELL

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 of the journalism industry.

This year, at the request of the College of Communication and Information’s dean and the director of the J-School, Farrell took on the position of the school’s Interim Director. Among other responsibilities, he will serve as a coordinator for the school’s class schedules and budget until the staff finds a permanent candidate.

Some of Farrell’s ongoing projects will include reinstating the video wall in the

Grehan Journalism Building lobby, as well as encouraging alumni to continue to be a part of the school community, collaborating with the Dean on moving the school’s strategic plan forward, and being a part of the decision process for the school’s newest hirings.

“It’s a conglomeration of work that’s not all that attractive, but it’s essential to make sure that someone is there, teaching you what he or she is doing,” Farrell said.

Farrell will also be working with the J-School on introducing a sports journalism major for students to pursue

“in the not-too-distant future.”

Even with his new duties, Farrell remains dedicated to his role as a professor.

“I’ve always wanted to be in the classroom,” Farrell said.

“It’s what I love doing, I love working with students.”

This semester, Farrell will be in charge of his usual journalistic law class, and will also stand in as instructor for Dr. Deborah Chung’s ethics class during her sabbatical.

In the spring, Farrell plans to collaborate with the Lexington Herald-Leader’s Jennifer Smith on a sports reporting class.

How to ask someone to be a reference

By McKenna Horsley krnlfashion@kykernel.com

If you have never asked someone to be your reference before, it can be a really intimidating task. It is almost like asking another person to compliment you in front of other people.

The search can also be stressful. You need to find someone who knows you well and can vouch for your talents.

You also must consider if the person will have to write a letter of recommendation or will be contacted by a possible employer or scholarship committee.

References can raise your chances of landing your desired position. Choose them wisely. Once you have decided whom you will ask, use these tips below to seal the deal.

Let your reference know in advance It is always a good idea to let your reference know well before you submit their name on your job application that you listed their contact information. This allows the reference to brush up on your skills and strengths, plus what the company is looking for. Then, they can better speak to how you will be a better fit to the team.

Also, if they need more time to write a letter of recommendation, they will have it.

Be polite The mentors, professors, past employers and others you will ask to be a reference are in no way obligated to do so; you are asking a favor of them. Be polite and kind while requesting them to be your reference both over email or in-person.

Make it as easy as possible Chances are your desired reference is busy with his or her own career and personal life. Thus, make being your reference an easy task. Offer to send them your resume after they agree so they can easily write a letter or have talking points about you in mind. The less of a hassle it is, the more likely they will become your reference.

Keep them updated After he or she agrees to be your reference, keep them updated on your progress. Did you get the job? Were you awarded the scholarship? If so, send a “Thank You” note their way.
