With the obesity ratehiking up, followed by re-lated diseases, no wonderthe government has madethe fast food industrycough up calorie data.

We do need a push inthe right direction from thegovernment, but the debateshould not be about calo-ries. It should be aboutsome of the larger issues in

our food system, a system that has led farm-ers to feed their cows gummy bears andchocolate bars.

The next time you’re in line at Qdoba orMcDonald’s, don’t worry about the calories;think about the ingredientsand how the food wasproduced.

What you don’t payfor in the drive through iscostly to your health.

A youth battleon both sides

The Edge runs every Friday before aUK football game. It breaks down two keymatchups between UK and its opponent,then gives an overall edge to one side orthe other.

UK’s true freshmen vs. Missouri’strue freshmen

In the first-ever meeting between thesenew SEC East foes, both UK and Missouriwill be featuring true freshmen in criticalpositions Saturday.

As it has for the last several weeks, theback-end of the Cats’ defense will featurepredominantly true freshman. AgainstGeorgia a week ago, three true freshmenplayed at least 60 snaps on defense. Be-tween safeties Zack and Daron Blaylock,cornerbacks Cody Quinn, Fred Tiller andJ.D. Harmon, and linebackers Khalid Hen-derson and Pancho Thomas, UK will havemultiple freshmen on the field for most ofthe game.

At quarterback, the Cats will send outfreshman Jalen Whitlow for the fourthweek in a row, carrying UK’s inexperienceissues over to the offensive side of the ballas well. Whitlow is just 34-73 passing thisseason and has thrown just one passingtouchdown (though he has rushed for twotouchdowns as well). UK likely won’t placea lot of the responsibility on offense in theshoulder of its freshman quarterback, as hehas thrown just 23 passes the last twoweeks combined.

Missouri has undergone a similar youthmovement in recent weeks. Four weeks agoagainst Central Florida, starting quarter-back James Franklin went down with an in-jury and hasn’t taken a snap since. In hisabsence, the offense has been led by fresh-man Corbin Berkstresser, who has been lessthan consistent in his brief stint with thefirst team.

Berkstresser has made two consecutivestarts in conference against Vanderbilt andAlabama. In those games, he is a combined21-59 passing with two interceptions. In aspread offense, Berkstresser has shownglimpses of the quarterback he can eventu-ally grow into, but he has not proven he canstring it together for an entire game.

Edge: UK’s true freshmen. Yes, I’m se-rious. The Cats’ secondary has learned bydoing for several weeks this season, andhas shown steady improvement againstsome of the conference’s premier quarter-backs, though that growth has not earnedUK a victory. The Cats will first and fore-most stop the run, much like it did lastweek against Georgia, and will force theTigers to put their gameplan in Berkstress-er’s arm. Turnovers can turn the tide in anyfootball game and the true freshmen couldbe prone to a mistake or two at home.

Overall Edge: Missouri. But barely.The Cats have come close to posting majorupsets over both South Carolina and Geor-gia and can sense a potential victory wait-ing for them in Columbia. This late in aone-win season, the team is playing fornothing but pride, and UK’s pride will cer-tainly show as it welcomes the Tigers to theSEC. Missouri, like UK, has sufferedthrough injuries and inexperience in recentweeks, and both teams can claim undesired0-4 records and a spot in the basement ofthe East division. The Tigers’ talent advan-tage earns them a slight victory, but onceagain UK plays a close game in conference.Final score: Missouri 24, UK 20

Wiggins reclassifies to 2013

Cats win 3-0 on senior night

All speculation can be put to rest; it isnow official. The nations best amateur basket-ball player, Andrew Wiggins, has made thejump to the class of 2013.

The news was first reported by Eric Pris-bell of USA Today on Thursday afternoonand later confirmed to the Kernel by An-drew’s coach at Huntington Prep, Rob Ful-ford.

The decision to reclassify is one mostpeople viewed as inevitable. But Andrew’shigh school coach seems to think an extrayear in high school is not the only thing iswasted time.

“I tell him all the time too, does he needto stay for another year of high school? No,absolutely not,” coach Fulford said. “But it’sthe same question; does he need to go to col-lege? No. I mean he could start for an NBAteam tomorrow.”

The decision to reclassify is what every-

one has been waiting on, but where does hisrecruitment go from here?

UK and Florida State have long been con-sidered as the favorites for the now No. 1player in the 2013 class. This is widely be-cause they were the only schools showinghim attention.

UK head coach John Calipari has alreadysolidified his class of 2013 as the unanimousNo. 1 class in the nation. But adding Wigginsto the Harrison twins, James Young, MarcusLee and Derek Willis would be a feat that

would make UK’s 2013 class arguably thegreatest of all time.

Recently though, programs such asKansas, Ohio State and North Carolina havejoined the race to gain Wiggins’ services as hehas officially added the three schools to hislist.

Even though Wiggins made the decisionto become a member of the 2013 class, withmore schools getting involved, it may besome time before he decides where he willplay basketball next fall.

Archie Goodwin had 22 shot attemptsGoodwin led all scorers with 32 points, but

also led in shots attempted. This became apoint of contention when Goodwin missedJulius Mays ahead of him on the break in thesecond half to score himself, earning derisionfrom UK head coach John Calipari.

"Julius was out ahead of him, and he droveit by him and shot it, and that's unacceptablehere," Calipari said. "I wasn't really happy. I lethim know."

Goodwin said he was fine with the scold-ing he received from Calipari.

"Coach Cal got on me for that. As far as adunk, it was not about that. It was about tryingto create a team atmosphere, and passing theball ahead because he would want the samething for me."

Mays tried to help Goodwin through thesituation.

"I told him not to worry about it. Let him(Calipari) yell at you," Mays said he toldGoodwin. "The play was over — you scored.You can't let that affect you the rest of thegame. I told him I wasn't mad at him as long ashe scored."

The teams combined for 13 blocksIf they play together, Nerlens Noel and

Willie Cauley-Stein will make it tough for theopposition to get shots off on the inside.

Wednesday night, they played against eachother and had a combined 12 blocks (Noel withseven, Cauley-Stein with five). Freshman for-ward Alex Poythress added one.

"We have only been working on defensefor a week," Cauley-Stein said. "I know wehave a practice tomorrow and it's a whole de-fensive practice."

For his part, Calipari was unimpressed —turning the scheduled 6:30 a.m. practice into adefense-only workout.

"If we played against each other, we'd bepretty good, but since we have to play otherpeople you don't know," Calipari said whenasked about all the blocks.

Eight Cats scored in double-figuresCalipari said a month ago that he felt he

had at least seven different players who couldlead the Cats in scoring in any given game. TheBlue-White game seemed to back up that as-sertion.

Jon Hood (17 points) and Jarrod Polson(13 points) hit double-figures, Nerlens Noel (9points) did not.

How much of the balanced attack is a state-ment of the team's offensive potential and howmuch is due to the team being behind defen-sively?

Well. . . Calipari specifically called outKyle Wiltjer for his defensive effort against JonHood.

"Kyle's going to have to defend better,"Calipari said. “Jon Hood had his way withKyle."

Calipari said the team needs to better learnhow to play team defense before they canscrimmage more in practice.

"They don't know how to stance, they don'tknow how to close out yet," Calipari said."They don't know how to rotate, their spacingand timing is so bad, that if you let them justplay you're telling them it's okay to play thatway

"Now whether that's right or not, we'll findout, but I think you've got to stop them. Makethem play more the right way."

Blue and whiteby the numbers

UK women’s soccer produced a dominantdisplay to beat Vanderbilt 3-0 Thursday.

Alyssa Telang, Kirsten Robinson,Brooke Keyes, Cassie Ransdell and NatalieHorner went out on a high on their final reg-ular season game as part of the senior dayceremonies.

“It’s nice to win on senior day,” said UKhead coach Jon Lipsitz.

Picking up their fifth win in succession,UK controlled the play from the first minuteto last at UK Soccer Complex.

The Cats were unfortunate to go intohalftime at 0-0 after a host of chances toscore went begging.

Sophomore forward Arin Gillilandpulled the strings for UK’s offense as theycamped inside the opposition half for longspells, but were unable to find a way pastVandy goalkeeper Shannon Morrish.

UK made up for lost time however with

two goals in the opening five minutes of thesecond half.

Twice Morrish was unable to hold ontothe ball after making a save, and twice jun-ior forward Caitlin Landis was on hand totap the rebound into an empty goal.

Any slim hopes the visitors had of get-ting back into the match were put to bed on74 minutes when the Cats scored a third.

Freshman forward Kennedy Collier sawMorrish off her line and took advantage andchipped home from the edge of the box for

her first career goal and a 3-0 UK lead.With the win secured, Lipsitz took his

seniors out of the game late on to a standingovation form the home support.

His squad will now turn their attentionto the postseason, after finishing the regularseason 13-5-1 (8-4-1 SEC).

On a recent Friday evening, Lexington Leg-ends Boxing Club hosted several rounds of fights.

The gym was hot and people fanned them-selves as they watched the boxers swing andpunch, swing and punch.

Feet danced as the athletes bobbed andweaved, making the ring squeak.

Many members of Legends would step in thering to fight that night, but Bo Biggers wouldn’tbe one of them.

Biggers, a special education senior at UK andtwo-year member of the gym, couldn’t find any-one to fight him.

This isn’t unusual. Biggers is a tough fighter. Two of his first times in the ring, he knocked

out his opponents. “He hits like Hercules,” Jasper Scott, another

Legends member, said. But Biggers’ attitude changes when he’s not

fighting.“When he gets in the gym, he means busi-

ness,” Scott said. “But when he’s outside, he’s re-ally cool.”

What makes a boxer Biggers said he had wanted to get into boxing

since he was 8 years old. That year, he got a pairof boxing gloves for Christmas.

His mom’s father was a boxer, and he said heremembers getting some lessons from his grandfa-ther growing up, such as learning how to jab andto keep his hands up.

He said boxing was always in the back of hismind, and before he even came to Legends, hewould shadow box for an hour or two hours

whenever he got home. When he was a highschool senior, he would participate in “fightnights.”

“It’s a long story between me and boxing,”Biggers said.

His mom, Terri Biggers, said she and her hus-band, Andy Biggers, didn’t expect him to get intoboxing, even though he grew up with boxingthemes. The Biggers family’s first two dogs wereboxers, one of which was named Tyson after box-ing legend Mike Tyson.

Biggers played or tried just about every sport,his parents said, including swimming, soccer, ten-nis, rugby, basketball and football.

But his parents said boxing has the appeal ofbeing casual and disorganized, with a certain ca-maraderie among the boxers.

“(It’s) a far cry form a country club swimmingmatch,” Terri Biggers said.

Biggers’ parents said he found boxing at atime when he needed focus and direction in hislife.

“Since he’s started boxing, he’s quit stumblingalong,” Andy Biggers said.

In July 2009, Biggers was texting and drivingand wrecked his car, landing on the interstate, hismother said. In the accident, Biggers was ejectedfrom his car.

It was the summer after the accident, in Au-gust 2010, that Biggers began boxing at Legends.

“That’s why I say (boxing) changed his life,”Terri Biggers said.

The other side of BiggersTerri Biggers said her son sees the potential

for at-risk kids in the gym.“They all take care of each other,” she said.

“They really do.” Joe Nelson, 14, has been boxing at Legends

since December.Nelson’s mother, Pam Thurman, said Biggers

has taken Joe under his wing.Joe, a student at Martin Luther King Jr. Acad-

emy, an alternative school in Lexington, has be-havior and authority issues, Thurman said, but herespects Biggers.

“It takes a lot for a grown person to get Joe’srespect,” Thurman said.

On any given night in the gym, Biggers can beseen helping other members of the gym improvein the sport.

“He keeps me and my punches straight,” Joesaid.

Thurman said Biggers is not the pamperingkind, but it’s in a productive way.

“The aggression is part of his craft,” Thurmansaid. “It’s not part of his person.”

At UK, Biggers is majoring in special educa-tion for students with moderate to severe disabili-ties. While in high school, he was a peer tutor fora special education class, and when he took his

first special education class at UK, he realized thematerial covered topics he thought about everyday.

He said a college degree really isn’t importantto him, but it is to his parents.

“If boxing doesn’t work out, I might be happybeing a special ed teacher,” Biggers said, “but pret-ty much all of my eggs are in the boxing basket.”

A dedicated fighterEvery morning before the sun rises, Biggers

gets up to run.Then, he’s in the gym many times a week. A typical workout lasts

about two hours and includesshadow boxing, punchingbags, sparring and ab work-outs. The sound of a loudtimer dictates what trainingthe athletes do next.

William “Sarge” Farris isthe director of the Legendsgym and Biggers’ coach.

Farris said he can counton Biggers to help “keepthings together” around thegym.

“He possesses all the qual-ities that a world championshould and is supposed tohave in the ring and outsidethe ring,” Farris said.

He said he is tougher on Biggers than he is onany of his other athletes because so much is re-quired and expected of Biggers.

Farris said Biggers has been able to bring someof his athleticism from other sports into his boxing.He’s what’s considered a boxer-puncher.

“He’s a great mover,” Farris said. Goals for the futureBiggers has earned a reputation among fighters

in his division, the heavy weight division, as beinga dangerous opponent.

He said he doesn’t really like that reputation be-cause he would rather be able to find people tofight. But, he said he does like the term “knockoutartist” that has been used to describe him.

He said boxing is an exposé of a skill.“It’s like being on the playground and showing

someone who’s boss,” Biggers said, but he said hedoesn’t get mad at his opponents.

“He doesn’t judge people,” Terri Biggers said.“But he does knock them out,” Andy Biggers said.

Bo Biggers said he wants to go “all the way tothe top” with boxing, which would mean goingprofessional and winning “at least 10 heavy weight

titles.” His parents say they have

told him they will support hisboxing “as long as he stayshealthy.”

He said his mom told himthat if he got concussions that hewould have to quit, but he saidhe wouldn’t let that deter him.

Farris said Biggers is the fu-ture of professional boxing andis on a path to make history inbeing the first white world heavyweight champion in 60 years.

“The only thing that can stopBo is Bo,” Farris said.

The second weekend of Oc-tober, Biggers fought in the Na-

tional Police Athletic League Championships inToledo, Ohio.

He said he entered as the favorite, but wasknocked out of the tournament in the semi-finals.

Now, he said will turn his attention to preparingfor the U.S. National Championships in February.

“He’s just a trouble, a problem for anyone whogets in the ring with him,” Farris said. “He comesto battle. He loves to fight. Seems like it’s in hisblood, you know, and he demonstrates that in thering.”

Because most of us are broke college stu-dents, it’s difficult to dish out the bucks forexpensive costumes. Luckily we’ve found tenof the easiest, most clever costumes that aresure to get a laugh.

10. Quarterback If you’re really pushed for time, you can

make this costume before walking out thedoor. All you have to do is stick a quarter onyour back.

9. Pin up GirlIf you can’t find that perfect pin-up cos-

tume anywhere, don’t worry. Take a handfulof safety pins and pin them in an upward ar-row on your shirt. This one only works for theladies.

8. Deviled EggInstead of purchasing that sultry devil

costume, just buy the horns. Pair them with awhite outfit and put a yellow circle on yourchest – maybe even add a few red specks forpaprika.

7. Quarter PounderAll you need to do for this costume is

stick a quarter to your shirt and carry a ham-mer. You’ll get bonus points for going toBurger King and picking up a paper crown tocomplete your costume.

6. Gold DiggerDress in all gold and wear any gold jewel-

ry you can find. Then all you have to do iscarry around a shovel and you’ve created theperfect gold digger.

5. MedusaThis is a great costume for any girl who’s

running low on time. Find a few rubbersnakes in any toy store, tease your hair andstick a few snakes in. This is great for a budg-et and you can get ready in no time.

4. Q-tipStay warm and fuzzy on Halloween. For

this costume, dress in all white and buy cottonballs or a bag of cotton from Walmart or Wal-greens. Then just attach the cotton to yourshoes and head.

3. Iron ChefFind an iron and string a piece of rope

through the handle so you can wear it like anecklace for the night. The only other itemyou’ll need is a white chef’s hat. This is supereasy, and you’ll be sure to stand out in acrowd.

2. FacebookLuckily, this costume doesn’t involve a

fancy paint job to look like a Facebook pro-file page; it’s easier and more creative. Liter-ally attach a headband to a book and wear iton your noggin. It’s as simple as that.

1. Smartie PantsBecause this costume involves Halloween

candy, it’s obviously the number one choice.Buy a bag of Smarties and pin or glue themon your pants. You’ll be the life of the party ifyou stuff your pockets and hand them out toyour friends.

Hopefully these options will keep yourfriends guessing while also helping you be alittle more frugal this Halloween.

Brantley Gilbert burst onto the countrymusic scene with his single “Country Must beCountry Wide.” Since then, he had anothersingle hit No. 1 and toured with both EricChurch and Toby Keith. Now Gilbert isbringing his first headlining tour, The Hell onWheels Tour, to Memorial Coliseum. Hepromises a party.

Q:What’s it like to be on your first head-lining tour?

A: It’s absolutely an awesome feeling. Itfeels like a lot of paid dues are payin’ off. It’sjust a sense of accomplishment, and a goal Inever thought I’d reach.

Q: What can the fans expect from yourshow?

A: It’s gonna to be a party. We will bewide open from the word “go” to the word“stop.” We’re gonna slow it down in the mid-dle and play some slow stuff. It’s gonna rock.

Q: What would you say to people thatmight still be on the fence about whether theywant to attend or not?

A: If you are on the fence, please get offof it. Jump off on my side. I’d like to say Ican guarantee them a good time but, youknow, it is a rockin’ show. We are workin’ ourtails off. If nothin’ else it’d be nice to have thesupport, and I’d appreciate it.

Q: Do you know much about how manypeople are expected to be there?

A: I don’t what the exact number is, butit’s definitely more than we projected. We’rereally excited about it.

Q:You were with Eric Church in Lexing-ton last year. Can you talk about playing inRupp?

A: Oh man, we had a ball in Lexington.We always have a ball in Kentucky, evenwhen we were playing smaller venues. It’s al-ways been a party. You guys have got somegreat fans. Everybody comes out looking fora good time and they treat us like family inKentucky.

Q: How was the experience of touringwith Eric Church?

A: The Church tour was great. Eric’s agreat guy, great writer, great performer, greatartist. We formed a friendship. I still talk tohim to this day. We had the chance to writetogether. It was just an honor to be on a tourwith another hard workin’ artist.

A: You know, we’ve been nominated for

awards in the past and anytime you get anomination, it’s just an unbelievable feeling.Even if you don’t win, it’s just an honor to bea part of it.

Q: You’ve been nominated for a CMAfor writing “Dirt Road Anthem.” How’s it dif-ferent to be nominated as a performer?

A: I can honestly say that I know for afact I’m the same guy. I’m no differentfrom anybody else. If somebody recog-nizes me, we have a conversation. A lothas changed; I will say that. I don’t thinkit’s affected me personally. I’m still thesame old boy.

Q: What was it like to tour with TobyKeith?

A: Toby’s pretty much a country legendand to share the stage with an artist like that— it’s a big honor. Plus the end of the tourpresent was well worth it. He gave me twotwin 45’s with sequential serial numbers andmy name engraved on the side.

Q: What projects are you working onright now?

A: We are stayin’ pretty busy with thistour. We’ve been writing a lot and goin’through a lot of songs, getting ready to startpickin’ songs for this next record.

Q:What goals do you have left to accom-plish as a country singer?

A: You know man, everything has hap-pened so fast. We had this venue about 40minutes from our hometown where the B-52s, R.E.M., Widespread Panic and bandslike that started out in Athens, Ga. It’s calledthe Georgia Theatre. My goal was to sell thatthing out. I sold it out when I was 19, and Ithought I’d made it. Everything after that hasbeen a gift, a bonus and a blessing in a way.We find ourselves making new goals every-day.

Halloween is creeping around the corner,and haunted attractions in Kentucky are pick-ing up popularity.

Sinister Tombs, haunted attraction in East-view, on 3246 Meeting Creek Road, was rat-ed the scariest haunted house in the state lastyear according to Hauntworld’s official web-site.

Marvin Skaggs, Sinister Tombs HauntedHouse Principal, explained that the attractionis full of scary interactions. “You choose yourown destiny…there are about 144 differentoptions,” he said.

He also explained that Sinister Tombs in-cludes a 3,000 square foot haunted house,quarter mile wooded trail, a 60-by-40 footmaze and a graveyard equipped with actualtombstones.

“Our cemetery has gravestones that be-longed to real people…we bought them froma graveyard that was going to have them de-stroyed because they were switching over toflat markers,” Skaggs said. "We got the fami-lies’ permissions to use the stones....it justgives you a sense of reality when you're in thecemetery."

Skaggs explained that Sinister Tombs istrying to play off of the "Vampire Diaries,""Twilight," and zombie obsession craze byhosting a "Zombie Apocalyptic SurvivalScavenger Hunt" during the week followingHalloween. He said that visitors will worktheir ways through zombies as they search foritems on the list.

Sinister Tombs isn't all about scaring oth-ers. “We donate all the money that exceedsthe cost of operation to multiplecharities...about fifteen,” Skaggs said.

Some of the charities he mentioned wereSusan G Komen: For the Cure and DisabledAmerican Veterans.

According to Evelyn Bologna, LFUCGParks and Recreation Deputy Director, Ja-cobson Park paired with Laurel Walker andher husband to host Fright Nights from thelast week in September until Halloweennight.

Fright Night coordinator, Laurel Walker,explained how the event came about.

“My husband and I owned the Hus-tonville Haunted House...but we wanted tobring something here to Lexington. We soldHustonville and set up Fright Night lastyear."

She explained that the event consists ofthree trails-- the Dark Forest, Zombie May-hem, and Thirteen Doors.

"Thirteen Doors is new this year. Yousee different monsters and frights as you gothrough storage containers," Walker said.

She emphasized the show aspect of theactors and actresses throughout the trails.“Even if you don't get scared...it's a lot offun. You'll laugh and have a fun time," shesaid.

Fight Nights isn't the only attraction atJacobson Park, 4001 Athens BoonesboroRoad. For a younger audience, Bologna saidthey have other Halloween events like LittleGoblin and Thriller.

"Why are you so angry?" asks a grand-motherly voice near the end of KendrickLamar's major-label debut. A Compton,Calif., native born into the same stressesthat once galvanized N.W.A, Lamar, at 25,has plenty to be mad about: girl trouble, alack of economic opportunity, the retributivegang violence that leads to "bodies on topof bodies," as Lamar describes it with pene-trating candor. It's a turbulent atmosphereworlds away from the strip-club exuberanceof 2 Chainz or the mirrored introspection ofDrake (who nonetheless guests here, alongwith gangsta-rap veterans Dr. Dre and MCEiht).

Yet on "good kid, m.A.A.d city" angergives way to analysis. Nearly a quarter-cen-tury after N.W.A's eye-opening "StraightOutta Compton," Lamar isn't re-sounding

the alarm _ he's looking closer, showing usin deeply considered detail how those con-ditions affect individuals and families overthe long term. "All my life I want moneyand power," he growls atop a clattering Hit-Boy beat in "Backseat Freestyle"; later, inthe spacey "Real," he wonders if those ma-terial comforts might limit his ability to re-late to others.

We know they haven't so far: The mostimpressive track on an album full of them is"Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst," a 12-minute epic in which Lamar ponders death(and the fate of those left behind) from sev-eral distinct perspectives, including that of asex worker he introduced on last year's"Section.80." It's a masterpiece of story-telling, empathy in the midst of chaos.

Kendrick Lamar Roams Compton

It may not exactly be WALL-E or astorm trooper, but the mere two and a halfmonths that went into the creation of Rover,a four-wheeled robot designed and created byBluegrass Community and Technical Collegestudents, paid off.

The BCTC Computer and TechnologyClub presented their self-designed, self-creat-ed, four-wheeled robot Rover in the lobby ofthe Oswald Building on Cooper Campus onOct. 25.

“(Rover) is a four-wheeled motorized ve-hicle that has a self-leveling platform,” saidMark Simonds, club president and BCTC

sophomore. “If he goes up and down a hill,the object (he’s carrying) stays still.”

The Computer and Technology Club, saidPublic Relations Specialist Courtney Daniel,is a new part of the BCTC list of extracurric-ulars, working with students of varying ma-jors to apply what they’ve learned in text-books to real-life situations. Daniel helpedthe club through its rocky origins, establish-ing officer positions, helping draft a missionstatement and testing Rover.

“He is pretty much (steered) like a re-mote control car,” said Lincoln Hays, BCTCsophomore and software engineering major.

Rover is “controlled by a joystick that webuilt ourselves (with an) LCD display screen

(and) parts from a Wii remote,” Hayssaid. This allows Rover to be controlled bytilting the control itself or from the joystickfor various functions. The LCD screen informs controllers what

mode the wheels are in — parallel, slightlyangled to turn Rover in a circle or turned at a90-degree angle.Despite the eight-person club member-

ship, students with a wide variety of degreeslent their expertise to the first project of thesemester-old group; networking experts,hardware students, software undergrads and

electrical engineering students all came to-gether in the creation of Rover.The Computer and Technology Club’s

main purpose “is to further the knowledge ofthe students and help apply that knowledgeto projects,” Simonds said.The club hoped to garner more interest

and snag new members through in-depth ex-planations of the “behind-the-scenes stuff,”Hays said, such as how the controller wasdeveloped, and how they programmed theArdwino computer products to work onsomething unique in the robot industry.“(The club) allows us to work on things

that we would want to do,” within their ma-

jors, Hays said, turning algebra, trigonome-try, calculus and computer programming intoreal-life situations, instead of abstract prob-lems in a textbook.

“We sat down (as a club) and tried tocome up with something that hasn’t beendone before,” Simonds said of Rover. “Andthat’s what we decided to do.”
