Journalist talkssocial media

On a day that celebratedjournalism, Al Tompkinsemphasized the continuousneed for journalists, even intoday’s social media-heavysociety.

Tompkins delivered the36th annual Joe CreasonLecture at Worsham The-ater on Tuesday, touchingon journalistic blunders aswell as achievements.

Tompkins is senior fac-ulty for broadcast and on-line at the Poynter Instituteand has won top awards forjournalistic excellence. Hewas inducted into KentuckyJournalism Hall of Fame in2008.

Tompkins first ad-dressed the way the Internethas affected journalists.With blogs, Twitter andFacebook, many questionwhether or not journalistsstill are needed in today’ssociety. Tompkins argued

that true journalism is morethan simply relaying infor-mation, but about askingquestions and verifying in-formation.

“These are the ques-tions that journalists shouldbe asking, rather than justsimply reporting. Not just‘What do we know?’ but‘How do we know that?’ ”Tompkins said.

Tompkins spoke abouthow journalists can use oth-er’s social media to theiradvantage but need to bewary of what examples theyare following.

He gave examples ofhow people manipulate themedia, drawing on an ex-ample of sharks being digi-tally inserted into pictures,the hacking of Joel Osteen’sministry Web page andeven the hacking of the As-sociated Press’ Twitter pageTuesday morning.

UK baseball goes into extra innings tied

The first provost fo-rum, featuring José LuisBermúdez, kicked off thecompetition among thethree candidates seekingthe title of UK provost, onTuesday in the M. I. KingLibrary, with a discussionon furthering educationthrough research, diversi-ty, and the importance ofrelationships at UK to

solve campus issues.At a university where

white males dominate ad-ministrative positions, thisyear’s candidates offer arange of diversity to thecompetition.

“We were very inter-ested in finding the mostqualified individuals ascandidates for the position.We are fortunate that thesecandidates have an interestin our university,” saidCharles Carlson, a co-

chair of the Provost SearchCommittee.

Bermúdez is the sixthdean of the College ofLiberal Arts at TexasA&M, a university report-ing a total enrollment of53,337 in 2012, includingundergraduate and gradu-ate students, according tothe Tamu Times, the cam-pus newspaper of TexasA&M.

“Both Texas A&M andUK are land grant univer-sities, both have verystrong commitments tocommunity engagement

through extension service,both have strong andproud sporting traditions,so I think that there aresome real similarities be-tween the institutions,”Bermúdez said.

Born in Bogotá,Colombia, Bermúdez leftduring the Colombian di-aspora and traveled to Eu-rope, where he was edu-cated in Britain at the Uni-versity of Cambridge.

kins provided examples of“good journalism” from pub-lications such as The BostonGlobe, The Washington Postand the (Fla.) Sun-Sentinel.

“He (Tompkins) was ableto use so many recent exam-ples that affect us as journal-ists today,” said GarrettWymer, a journalism senior,who introduced Tompkinsalong with journalism juniorBecca Clemons.

Journalists are expectedto press for answers, holdthose in power and in thegovernment accountable fortheir actions, and seek largerissues to report on, Tompkinssaid.

“It seems to me that jour-

nalists should be, in a verystrong way, holding systemsaccountable,” he said.

Tompkins’ encouragementof good journalism inspiredjournalism senior BeverlyMelton.

“I came back to school af-ter 30 years to be in journal-ism school and I’m really soexcited,” Melton said.

when they are entering newcultures and new universitiesand new lifestyles,”Bermúdez said. “That’s sortof given me a lifelong appre-ciation of the importance ofundergraduate education anda great research university.”

At the forum Bermúdezanswered written questionsfrom the audience, as well asquestions submitted viaTwitter and email.

When asked about grad-uate education, Bermúdezsaid research and teachingare two things that attractedhim to UK.

“Research is incrediblyimportant. All universitiesneed to look hard at graduateprograms and understand

why they have them,” hesaid.

The question of UK be-coming a part of the Associa-tion of American Universi-ties was posed to Bermúdez,and he said, “UK is not anAAU school ... but equiva-lency (to AAU) is a goal.”

UK is a land grant insti-tution, an institute of highereducation designated by thestate to receive federally con-trolled land, whichBermúdez said attracted himto UK, since Texas A&M isalso a land grant institution.

When asked about UK’sland grant mission,Bermúdez said higher educa-tion has a transforming pow-er but depends on access andaffordability.

One question askedBermúdez about the riski-ness of his budget model.Bermudez said his budgetmodel depended on threeprinciples.

“Transparency, peoplecan see how sources are allo-cated, alignment of re-sources, and encourage cre-ative thinking in research,”Bermúdez said. “But a chal-lenge for any incomingprovost is redistribution.”

Bermudez said the roleof the provost in terms of re-source allocation is to guideacademic units, as well as toincrease quality control andcollaboration, ensuring fairstandards for students andfaculty.

When asked about thegrowing population of Lati-no students at UK,Bermúdez said he is working

to promote diversity. “The value of diversity is

allowing it to make use of itsmost valuable resource, itspeople.

“One of the things Iworked really hard at atA&M is having a grant fromthe National Science Foun-dation called Advance, it’s aprogram to promote femalefaculty in leadership posi-tions,” he said. “I think oneof the things that really con-cerns me about A&M andone of the things that con-cerns me about Kentucky isthe importance of removingthe obstacles that there are tothe success of minority fe-male faculty in leadershippositions.”

“We have increased theHispanic student population28 percent, black studentpopulation 55 percent andwhite student population 4percent,” Bermúdez said.

The provost hopeful ex-plained the importance ofmaking higher education af-fordable from the student’sperspective.

“One thing that kind ofcomes up quite often is fi-nancial support,” Bermúdezsaid. “What students oftentell me is they would begraduating much morequickly, and much morecheaply and with much lessstudent debt if the universitymade sure that the rightcourses were offered at theright times for them to movethrough programs in a timelymanner.”

During the Q-and-A ses-sion, a question was posed to

Bermúdez about the impor-tance of creating relation-ships between communitycolleges and four-year uni-versities.

“There are manyprospective students who donot, at this stage in their aca-demic career, have the quali-fications of the skills to gostraight into UK, but theyhave the potential,” he said.

“The challenge is how doyou help those students getthe experiences, get the qual-ifications they need so theycan fulfill their potential?That’s where a partnershipbetween a two-year and afour-year university can bereally important, because es-sentially what a two-yearcollege can do is to bring thestudents to the level wherethey can profit from a UKeducation.”

Bermúdez was askedabout creating working rela-tionships at UK involvingstudents, parents and admin-istration.

“I think for a relationshipwith administration theremust be shared values, ashared vision for the univer-sity and trust.

“I think that the relation-ship will start with the differ-ent organizations on campus... taking time out to spendtime with groups with theirparents at the beginning ofthe academic year and gener-ally understand the concernsof the student body.”

“I think the University ofKentucky has a bright pastand an even brighter future,”Bermúdez said.

‘The Big Wedding’ and a moviedream wedding

Everybody loves a wedding. EspeciallyHollywood, which throws brides and groomson the big screen as often as comic book char-acters.

The latest bride down the aisle is Missy(Amanda Seyfried), who’s marrying Alejandro(Ben Barnes) in “The Big Wedding,” whichopens Friday. Looking on are his mom (DianeKeaton), dad (Robert De Niro), dad’s newwife (Susan Sarandon), plus sibs, waiters andpriest (Robin Williams). Alejandro was adopt-ed, his bio-mama is coming to the weddingand, oops, he never explained that his adoptiveparents divorced. Naturally, they need to pre-tend they’re still married to keep bio-mamahappy — because that kind of scheme alwaysworks, right?

Slaps, punches and punch lines ensue.This got us to thinking about great cellu-

loid weddings. Like fantasy football, we haveour dream team.

—BRIDE:Elizabeth Taylor (“Father of the Bride,”

1950). Let the fighting commence. This wasbrutal! Sure, there’s Robin Wright pre-Penn(“The Princess Bride,” 1987), Nia Vardalos(“My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” 2002), ElsaLanchester (“The Bride of Frankenstein,”1935). But we gotta go with Liz, whose age(18) matched her waist size — and whoracked up eight weddings herself (to sevengrooms).

—GROOM:Chris Sarandon (“The Princess Bride”),

Christopher Plummer (“The Sound of Music,”1965), Winston Chao (“The Wedding Ban-quet,” 1993) and Johnny Depp (“CorpseBride,” 2005) all have their appeal, but EddieMurphy’s an actual prince (“Coming to Amer-ica,” 1988) who wants a woman who’ll“arouse my intellect as well as my loins.”Smart man.

—BRIDESMAIDS AND GROOMS-MEN:

“Bridesmaids” (2011), meet “The Hang-over” dudes (2009). Done.

—BRIDE’S PARENTS:Lainie Kazan and Michael Constantine

(“Greek Wedding”).—GROOM’S PARENTS:Robin Williams and Nathan Lane (“The

Birdcage,” 1996). Chat them up at the recep-tion, and maybe they’ll invite you down toSouth Beach.

—INTERLOPER:It’s hard to ignore Owen Wilson and Vince

Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers,” 2005), butlooking to score with chicks must take secondplace to Dustin Hoffman’s honorable inten-tions (“The Graduate,” 1967).

—WEDDING SINGER:Earnest ‘80s mullet lover Adam Sandler

(“The Wedding Singer,” 1998). Honorablemention to Rupert Everett (“My Best Friend’sWedding,” 1997) for his rousing “I Say a Lit-tle Prayer,” which looks almost improvisedbut took three days to meticulously shoot.

Graduation is quickly ap-proaching, and UK seniorsare learning what to do —and what not to do — whilefinding a job.

The national unemploy-ment rate for the U.S. as ofMarch was 7.6 percent, ac-cording to the Bureau of La-bor Statistics. For those witha college degree, the unem-ployment rate is 3.8 percent.

Despite the unemploy-ment rate for college gradu-ates being significantly lowerthan the national level, gradu-

ating seniors still struggle tofind jobs.

“The student I would sus-pect to be worried about find-ing a job did not use the serv-ices available on campus,”said Lenroy Jones, associatedirector for employer/corpo-rate relations at the James W.Stuckert Career Center.

Throughout the year theCareer Center hosts severalevents, including a career faireach semester. The career fairhas more than 450 companiesrepresented.

Jones explained that theNo. 1 employer complaintwas lack of preparation.

“When everything is saidand done we have to utilizeour resources just as we do inthe classroom,” Jones said.

“Use the resources avail-able; I didn’t utilize them asan undergraduate,” said JoshStamper, a medical sciencemaster’s student.

Stamper said he wouldnot have been able to find aquality job after graduationbecause he had no idea howto sell himself to employers.

Stamper now works at theCareer Center as a graduatestudent and feels much morecomfortable about his joboutlook after graduation.

For many, graduateschool is a plan of action postgraduation. Don Morgan, abusiness management senior,is one of those students.

Morgan has alwaysknown that he was going tolaw school, but even beforethen he put in hours of workto reach his goal.

“I felt like I put in somuch work to get into lawschool, I should have gottencollege credit for it,” Morgansaid.

Students who have no in-terest in graduate school,however, have to focus onfinding employment aftertheir graduation.

“It’s definitely a tough

job market; one that is ex-tremely competitive,” Mor-gan said.

The top hiring industryof recent graduates is educa-tional services, followed byprofessional scientific andtechnical services and thenhealth care, according to theNational Association of Col-leges and Employers’ SalarySurvey.

If you are not an educa-tion, engineering or medicinemajor, then you may have towork harder to find a job.

For some students, partic-ipating in an internship or co-op serves as a stepping stoneto finding a career.

Jones offered a few tips

for students seeking employ-ment: be organized, researchthe companies, followthrough after applying, beconsistent and, most impor-tant, be flexible.

Nearly 70 percent of stu-dents who responded to a Ca-reer Center survey stayed instate for employment purpos-es.

Being flexible in locationof employment can land stu-dents a higher-paying job.

Experts agree that forstudents who take time toprepare and who are willingto relocate, jobs are avail-able.

“Everything is based onyour approach,” Jones said.

Preparation key in landing a first jobCareer Center helps students who are graduating

Because this is my lastcolumn, I want to recognizethe students on UK’s cam-

pus for pro-viding in-spiration formy articles.I have hadthe opportu-nity towatch andwitness cre-ativity in alldifferent de-partments atthe universi-ty, and ithas certain-

ly been a whirlwind writingabout it.

This school year has pro-vided a lot of entertainmentin the fashion industry. FromSofia Vergara’s dress rippingopen at the Emmys to LadyGaga’s racy Vogue photoshoot, there was never a dullmoment.

My hope is that this col-umn provided an interestingand useful read once a weekin the Kernel. I also hope that

everyone continues to findhis or her personal style. En-joy being at UK and takeclasses from the remarkableprofessors who have workedin fashion all over the world.

If anyone is still trying tofind his or her niche, design-ers in town have put togethergroups such as the LexingtonFashion Collaborative whereconnections can be built withpeople who share the sameinterests.

Fashion can bring peopletogether, and it allows us toexpress ourselves. I haveloved being able to report onstyle over the past two se-mesters. Profiling students oncampus and listening to con-cerns about the industry inlectures and interviewsmakes me believe the fashionscene will continue to growand thrive in Lexington.

Lexington is becomingmore fashion savvy by theday. Not only are popularbrands opening stores in thearea, but there are a lot ofboutiques to shop local, and

many are walking distancefrom campus.

I have already seen thecommunity embrace vintageshops and support efforts togo green. It is surprising howmany items you can find inthese stores that are beingsold for double the price bypopular labels. And one thingI’ve learned through profilingand speaking to shoppers isthat it is possible to find cur-rent trends and not break thebank.

Summer items are now instores and I have already wit-nessed some of the best lookson classmates. My last bit ofadvice is to savor the sun af-ter a long winter and enjoythe less-is-more mentalitythis season with croppedshirts and cutout dresses.

Remember to be bold anddaring and continue to havefun with outfits and acces-sories. I am glad to havebeen the liaison between thefashion scene and campus,and I give my best wishes toall of my stylish readers.

A New York man wascharged Tuesday in federalcourt in Detroit with cyber-stalking 15 women, tellingthem he had nude photos ofthem and threatening to dis-tribute them to their friendsand family unless they sentthem more naked pictures ofthemselves.

According to an affidavitfiled in U.S. District Court,the defendant, Adam P.Savader, 21, sent anonymoustext messages using GoogleVoice numbers to 15 womenin Detroit; Washington, D.C.;

and Long Island, N.Y.Savader sent some of the

victims links to a photo-shar-ing website where nude pic-tures of the victims had beenposted, the affidavit said.

The FBI learned about thecase from Ann Arbor, Mich.,police detectives, who had re-ceived a complaint last Sep-tember from a university stu-dent stating that she had re-ceived threatening messagesfrom a person who had ille-gally obtained nude photo-graphs of her from her emailaccount. The affidavit did notsay which university she at-tended.

According to the affi-

davit, the student had takensix nude photos of herself us-ing an iPhone, uploaded themto her AOL account and in-tended to send them to hernow ex-boyfriend in England.But she never sent the photosand she never shared themwith anyone, nor did she evergive anyone authority to ac-cess her AOL account, the af-fidavit stated.

About a month later, thewoman noticed that everytime she logged into her AOLaccount, she was prompted torespond to a security questionand had to change her pass-word. Three months later, shereceived a text message from

someone claiming to be“John Smith” and threateningthat he had nude photos ofher and that “he would sendthe nude photos … to her par-ents and friends if she did notsend him additional photos.”

Smith knew the names ofher parents and displayed aFacebook picture of hermother to prove he knew herfamily, the affidavit said. Thewoman said she felt “fright-ened and terrorized” by hiscomments and went to thepolice. She provided Ann Ar-bor detectives with three ofher photographs, includingone that showed her sittingnaked in a bubble bath, the

affidavit said.She “pledged her full co-

operation and said that if theperson was identified, shewould like for him to be pros-ecuted.”

An electronic paper trailled authorities to Savader inGreat Neck, N.Y. — the samehometown for the college stu-dent he allegedly was stalkingin Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor detectivespartnered with FBI agentsand discovered that severalcollege women were beingstalked, including a collegestudent who was told nudepictures of her would be sentto the Republican National

Committee, her parents andher sorority if she did notsend more nude pictures ofherself.

Savader is in federal cus-tody in New York awaitingextradition to Michigan. He ischarged with Internet extor-tion and cyberstalking in acriminal complaint, althoughtrial cannot be held unless anindictment is handed up. Ac-cording to the U.S. Attorney’soffice, when the investigationis completed, a determinationwill be made on whether toseek an indictment.

If convicted, he faces amaximum penalty of fiveyears in prison.

New York man accused of cyberstalking college studentsBy Tresa Baldas

Detroit Free Press

MILWAUKEE — Everytime a college student’s life iscut short by bacterial menin-gitis, Gail Bailey flashes backto 2002, when her 20-year-old son at the University ofWisconsin-Madison thoughthe had the flu and died 16hours later.

“It comes back reallyhard,” said Bailey, of Jeffer-son, “and not just for me, butI’m in touch with other moth-ers who have lost kids to thisat Madison and other UWcampuses. … It’s one of theworst things that can happento anyone.”

Bailey tracks throughnewspaper articles the namesand the universities the stu-dents who get meningitis at-tended: UW campuses inMadison, Platteville,Oshkosh, River Falls, EauClaire and Whitewater. Shehas connected with several oftheir families, and a few stu-dents who contracted, but sur-vived, the uncommon bacteri-al infection. She joined a na-tional group, Moms onMeningitis, through the Na-tional Meningitis Association.

Her son Eddie, valedicto-rian of his class at JeffersonHigh School, was attendingthe state’s flagship universityon a full-tuition scholarshipto study economics and fi-nance.

Bailey didn’t know therewas a vaccine againstmeningococcal disease. Itwasn’t widely advocatedthen, so Eddie didn’t get theshot.

Henry Mackaman — the21-year-old UW-Madisonsenior from St. Paul, Minn.,who died of the disease lastWednesday — did get themeningococcal vaccine, in-cluding the recommendedbooster at the start of collegefor students living in resi-dence halls, according to hisuncle Dan Mackaman, also ofSt. Paul.

A few who are immu-nized get the disease anyway.The vaccine is 90 percent ef-fective against four strains ofbacterium that transmit thedisease; one strain isn’t cov-ered for complicated reasonsinvolving the brain. Peoplewhose immune systems forwhatever reason cannot fightoff the bacterium may bemost susceptible to it if they

have a cold virus, or don’t getenough sleep.

“It’s a big mystery,” Hen-ry Mackaman’s uncle saidFriday. “All of us are curiousabout how this happened be-cause Henry was vaccinatedthe way any kid going to col-lege is.”

Studies show college stu-dents are twice as susceptibleto meningococcal disease asothers their age. They comefrom all over the world andlive in close quarters, wherethe bacteria can easily multi-ply, and their immune sys-tems notoriously are stressedby lack of sleep.

About 10 percent of thegeneral population carries thebacteria in the nose or throatwithout getting sick. But theymay pass it through saliva tosomeone else who can’t han-dle it by sharing eating uten-sils, drinks, smoking materi-als or a kiss.

Bailey and her husband,Phillip, fought for a state lawin memory of Eddie, and thelaw passed Oct. 16, 2003. Itrequires universities to pro-vide all students with infor-mation about meningococcaldisease and hepatitis B, andthe availability of vaccines.

It requires students in uni-versity residence halls toconfirm they received the in-formation, and to provideimmunization dates if theygot the shots.

The law does not requirestudents to be immunized.

It never occurred to theBaileys or the Mackamansthat their healthy sons couldbe susceptible to a diseasethat strikes an average of1,500 Americans annually.

Four UW-Madison stu-dents have died since 2002 ofmeningococcal disease.

On April 6, HenryMackaman went to the emer-gency department at MeriterHospital a couple of blocksfrom his Madison apartmentbecause he had a 104-degreefever. He was sent home aftera chest X-ray ruled out pneu-monia, his family said.

Early on April 8 morning,he walked back to the hospi-tal because he had aheadache, trouble speaking,and his right hand “felt fun-ny.”

Doctors ran more testsand made the diagnosis as hiscondition rapidly deteriorat-ed. He was placed on a venti-lator.

When his swollen braindid not respond to antibiotics,and there was no sign ofbrain activity on April 10, hisfamily invited small groupsof his friends into his hospitalroom to say goodbye.

He was a DJ for a campusradio station and a guitaristand producer with the TwinCities band Phantom Vibra-tion, which he started withhigh school buddies and stillplayed in.

His musician friendsbrought guitars, accordionsand even a ukulele to his hos-pital room to play for himone last time.

About 50 friends andfamily members at one pointpacked his room for a groupgoodbye.

“It was a very movingmoment,” Dan Mackaman re-called.

Fifteen percent of theroughly 1,500 Americanswho contract meningococcaldisease are adolescents andyoung adults.

Of those who contract the

disease, 11 percent die andabout 20 percent suffer long-term consequences such asbrain damage, kidney disease,hearing loss or amputations,according to the NationalMeningitis Association.

Since the current vaccinecame out in 2005, wider vac-cinations have occurred, in-cluding a booster shot beforecollege or joining the military— five years after receivingthe first dose.

Most of the one or twomeningococcal cases seen an-nually by University HealthServices at UW-Madison arenon-preventable vaccine cas-es, said executive directorSarah Van Orman, also aphysician.

“Even with 100 percentvaccination rates, we maystill have meningococcal dis-ease,” she said.

University health servicesremind students not to sharedrinks, eating utensils or ciga-rettes to avoid communicablediseases such as the flu, shesaid. That advice also appliesto avoiding meningitis,though the bacterial disease isnot communicable to nearlythe degree of colds and flu,Van Orman said.

letter to the editor

I was going nowhere.Or at least that’s what I thought,

when I applied to college without a ma-jor in mind. “Undergraduate Studies,”the application said. A combination of“I’ve got no future/I’m never going tofigure out my life” is what I read.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not a mo-tivationless bum. I’ve always had drive,but just never in a certain direction andnever with a certain dream in mind.

At first, I didn’t care. I never hadto, when the only thing that mattered inhigh school was tonight’s homeworkand tomorrow’s outfit. I figured that,sooner or later, I’d figure it out. I neverthought later would mean much later.

Instead, what chose to come soonerwas a mild panic. Senior year came andwent, but it neglected to leave me withthe parting gift of a college major. Mylack of even a slight idea about my fu-ture led to feelings of failure. AlthoughI wanted to avoid it at all costs, I knewI would have to enter college undecid-ed. What an awful word.

Looking back today on a year inthe Undergraduate Studies program, en-tering college in this program wasprobably the best thing I could’ve donefor myself. I’ve given myself time toexplore; I’ve been exposed to the best

resources and given access to sound ad-vice and experience before having tomake any decisions.

The biggest thing UndergraduateStudies has done for me, though, ishelp me land solidly on my feet on myjump to UK. College itself is a bigenough change, bringing with itself somany new experiences and decisions,from figuring out when (or how) to doyour laundry to choosing a major.

Coming into college in the Under-graduate Studies program was a deci-sion that instead helped me get a gripon my plans for the future, allowing meto focus on general classes first and fa-miliarizing me with various academicprograms before I decided to apply. Ithas been a priceless way of taking myfocus off of my far future and insteadplacing it on my immediate future –getting further involved on campus andplanning my classes for each semesteras they come.

As an Undergraduate Studiesstudent, I now feel much moreconfident and in control and Iconquer my future one class, pro-gram and plan at a time.

Deciding to go undecidedwas a rewarding choice

After what is being calledthe year of the Cardinal bymany, how could Louisvilleathletics get better?

Well, Louisville boaststhe No. 8-ranked softballteam in the country and islooking to sweep the seasonseries against the No. 17Cats, who will host their ri-vals in the new John CroppStadium.

The Cardinals (42-6, 15-1 Big East) are riding a 16-game win streak and havelost one conference gamethis season. The Cardinalsare the only Big East teamranked in the Top 25 in what

is a weak year for the confer-ence.

Louisville has yet to dropa series this year, but did splita two-game set with No. 1-ranked Oklahoma. Oklahomabeat UK, 11-0, earlier thisyear.

Junior Katie Keller leadsLouisville at the plate. Kellerhits at a .432 average with ateam-leading 45 RBIs. SeniorAlicja Wolny hits second onthe team with a .424 averagewith nine home runs and 42RBIs.

In the circle, Louisville isled by juniors Caralisa Con-nell and Rachel LeCoq. Con-nell holds a 1.98 ERA and is24-2 on the year in 24 starts.LeCoq leads the team with

her 1.84 ERA and holds a 15-4 record in 21 starts.

UK is coming in after los-ing its last series at Arkansasand is looking for revengefrom an earlier 5-1 loss to theCardinals.

Junior Lauren Cumbess,who saw her 12-game hittingstreak come to an end overthe weekend, leads the teamat the plate with a .359 aver-age and her team-leading 11home runs.

Freshman Kelsey Nunleyleads the Cats in pitching andafter picking up two lossesover the weekend her overallrecord still stands at 20-6with a 2.08 ERA.

First pitch is set for 6 p.m.Wednesday.
