H1N1 vaccine ‘continues to creep out of production lines’ By Laura Clark

lclark@kykernel.com

Although the number of University Health Service patients with influenza-like illnesses decreased, the peak of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza has yet to come. Dr. Chris Nelson, associate professor of pediatrics specializing in infectious diseases, said in a Sept. 29 Kernel article the peak of the Novel H1N1 in the U.S. is unknown for sure,

but is most likely to occur in late 2009 or early 2010. Almost 16 percent of the 1,007 patients admitted to University Health Services from Oct. 26 through Oct. 31 were reported to have influenza-like illnesses. The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department received their first batch of H1N1 flu mist vaccine, or intranasal, on Oct. 13. According to its Web site, however, the H1N1 vaccine is currently not avail-

able for the general public, but both forms, intranasal and intramuscular, are expected soon. Nelson said the health department is sending UK more intramuscular vaccinations this week. However, due to the familiar delaying of its availability, Nelson was unsure of when it would arrive. “I will believe it when I am standing there holding it in my hands,” Nelson said in an email to the Kernel. “(The) vac-

Smart, sexy: Trojan ranks UK in top third By Laura Clark lclark@kykernel.com

UK scored higher than Princeton and even got a higher grade than Harvard — in sexual health, that is. Trojan Brand Condoms conducted the “Sexual Health Report Card” survey, ranking 141 universities across the nation. Bert Sperling, president of the research company Sperling’s BestPlaces which conducted the study, said the information collected was not based on sexual activity or sexually transmitted diseases. “We looked at the information that was provided from the school,” Sperling said. “We looked at the Web sites, and put ourselves into the shoes of the students.” Trojan ranked UK at 38 out of 141. Last year, the same study ranked UK at 55. The University of South Carolina, S t a n f o r d We need to have the University and Michigan State flexibility to reach stuUniversity were dents (on the Web) among the top 10 sexually because that’s where healthy schools, they go. according to the ranking. FADYIA LOWE Sperling said UK health education specialist universities are ranked by looking for services listed on the school’s student health Web sites, such as HIV testing, center hours of operations and Web site usability. Polls on Facebook were also used to generate student responses. Sperling said each school had an average of around 50 responses. Letters were sent to student health centers, complete with a questionnaire, he said. Fadyia Lowe, a UK health education specialist, said when the survey started, University Health Services was not aware of the data being collected. Lowe said when they found out who was conducting the survey, the questionnaire was found and completed because information from the Web site was outdated and did not “give an overall good view.” “People can get on the Web site and infer things,” Lowe said. “Just because it says ‘sex-

The UK men’s basketball team prepares for its Monday game against Campbellsville. The Cats turned the ball over 23 times in the 74-38 win.

UK WINS TURNOVER-FILLED EXHIBITION By Metz Camfield mcamfield@kykernel.com

UK head coach John Calipari said the team would be sloppy at the beginning of the season and they would turn the ball over often. He was proven correct on Monday night. The Cats turned the ball over 23 times in a 74-38 victory against visiting Campbellsville University in UK’s first exhibition match of the season. “We had (turnovers) of all kinds … we had a lot of guys driving with the ball with no intention of getting to the rim, they were just driving to be a passer,” Calipari said. “No one gets open when you do that. You have to make plays.” It only took 16 seconds for the Cats to get on the board, and they never looked back, taking a 36-11 lead into the half. On the opposite end, UK used a suffocating defense to hold Campbellsville to a putrid 12 percent shooting in the first half. Calipari said at the beginning of the year he wanted to replace UK’s ‘3’ signs in the stadium with signs displaying the letter ‘B’ for blocks. The Cats had 10 blocks in the game, with many of them coming from two or three players at a time.

Calipari said he still thought the Cats needed work on the rebounding end of the floor, though. While the Cats outrebounded Campbellsville by 10, they had a considerable size advantage to work with. Calipari said shots that didn’t fall close to the rim gave them problems. “Our guards didn’t rebound very (well) today,” Calipari said. “I mean, every long rebound, they got, and those are supposed to be our guards.” Perhaps the player of the game for the Cats came from a senior who only got six minutes on the court. Forward Perry Stevenson didn’t get into the game until late because he wasn’t playing the way in practice he needed to, to deserve playing time, Calipari said. Once he got in however, Stevenson made the most of it — scoring 11 points while grabbing two rebounds. “I was really happy for Perry Stevenson,” Calipari said. “Instead of pouting or anything, he just goes in and now he earns his space. Now all of a sudden he gets in that rotation.” Stevenson drove to the basket hard on one play late in the second half and elevated for what looked to be a dunk. Stevenson was met midway in the air but held on and made the basket. It was a play that stuck

Stevenson closed the game with a 3-pointer to give the Cats the 36-point victory. It was a game the players had been looking forward to because they were tired of playing each other in practice. The Cats said it was good to finally get out on the court and get their first game under their belts, despite Campbellsville, an NAIA opponent, not being on the same level as UK.

“It was a great experience seeing how everything’s going to be, playing in my first college basketball game,” said junior-college transfer Darnell Dodson. “It was exciting.”

Prescription filled: New College of Pharmacy building open in Dec. By Chris Robbins news@kykernel.com

There is no place like home. Especially when it is 286,000 square feet. As soon as Dec. 1, the College of Pharmacy will move to 789 S. Limestone, next to the Speedway gas station. Kristi Lopez, director of communications for the College of Pharmacy, said the move-in was on schedule. “We should get access that day and we will be moving in (the building) the next day,” Lopez said.

Patrick McNamara, interim dean of the College of Pharmacy, said the basement and first three floors of the new facility will be complete and ready for move-in on Dec. 2. The remaining two floors, which will house laboratory space for research, have not been completed. “We hope to begin construction on the top two floors in July 2010 and finish toward the end of 2011,” McNamara said. “Initially we had hoped to finish all construction by 2010 but we couldn’t secure funding, so we finished the academic ar-

eas first.” McNamara said the college is waiting on a grant from the National Institute of Health to finish the fourth floor, while matching funds from the university will complete the fifth floor. The $132 million building will feature two 219-seat auditoriums, a 110-seat classroom, a 54-seat classroom and a five-story atrium. Pharmacy students will have more than enough room in their new home. “It’s tough, there isn’t a spare seat in some of our classrooms,” See Pharmacy on page 4

FRAMING MEMORIAL HALL

4puz.com

Seeing that Memorial Hall seems to be the most photographed building on campus, I wanted to try and take a different and more interesting approach in photographing it. I decided to use the leaves of one of the trees in front of Memorial Hall to frame the steeple. I discovered a nice gap in the leaves of one of the trees that I think created a different picture of Memorial Hall.

Questions for the stars James' Dark New Thriller

Do your kids like your movies?

Marsden answers a scary question - on screen and off. Bet he wishes he could zap his way out of this one. In the thriller The Box (out November 6), James -Marsden trades in his Cyclops superpowers from the X-Men flicks to play a broke suburbanite facing a dire dilemma: He can hit a button and score $1 million - but a stranger will die as a result. "The movie messes with your mind," says the Oklahoma native, 36, who has Jack, 8, and Mary, 4, with wife Lisa Linde, 37. He fills Us in on his action plan.

Mary's into Enchanted and Jack likes X-Men, but they're a little over it. They're like, "Dad's in a movie. Whatever!"

So, would you take the loot in real life? Knowing that it would kill somebody? No. It is an interesting concept, though. I saw on the movie's message boards that people were like, "Geez, what's the big deal? Of course I'd take it," and I was shocked!

Heidi's Gleaming Makeup Line Heidi klum gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Lou, on October 9, but her other baby - Exotic Jewels, her third makeup line with Victoria's Secret - debuted the week before. Her inspir-ation? "Two years ago, my husband [Seal] and I took a trip to India and I bought some jewelry that's gold and purple. I used those colors in this set," Klum, 36, tells Us of her collaboration with her longtime makeup pro Linda Hay. "The shades are great to play up your eyes."

Ray J's Ex Files

We said the whole time that we were only doing comedies after that. I said, -"Normally, I'm a lot more fun." Because of the tone of the movie, I wasn't cracking jokes.

After romancing Kim Kardashian and Whitney Houston, Ray J, 28, is looking for a less-famous love again on the second season of his top-rated VH1 dating show, For the Love of Ray J (premieres November 2 at 9 p.m.). He talks to Us about his search - and former flames.

You have homes in Nashville and L.A. Which do you prefer?

What went wrong with Cocktail, your pick from the show last season?

Not to knock L.A., but I think Nashville is better for keeping the kids grounded. Plus, music's always been part of me - I've played guitar since I was little - and the best unknown musicians ever are here.

She was the best girl in the house, not in terms of being my girl forever. I need someone who's funny - and humble.

How was filming with Cameron Diaz?

Coal decision must not repeat past blunders Twenty-five years ago, as a senator in the UK Student Government, I sponsored a resolution asking the Board of Trustees to divest the UK’s investments in South Africa. It was a controversial resolution that was ultimately defeated. Some of those THEODORE opposed to the MONROE resolution simply Guest rejected the goal columnist of an integrated South Africa outright; others said an integrated South Africa could only be achieved at too great a cost to South Africa and divestment was too expensive for the university. Still others asserted UK or other American university holdings were too insubstantial for divestment to have any effect on the apartheid government. Twenty-five years later, I suspect that most Kentuckians (including those that voted against the resolution) now probably wince at remembering the outcome of that vote. Looking back on the course of history with the benefit of 25 years of hindsight, we now know divestment was not only a laudable notion, but played a strong role in bringing down the apartheid regime. Indeed, after being freed from prison and elected president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela cited the efforts of universities all around the world as instrumental in effecting regime change — much to the enduring embarrassment of SG, which was one of the few in the US to oppose divestment and thus support the apartheid government. Even FW de Klerk, the last leader of the apartheid government, recently stated he is pleased with South Africa’s progress since it changed its reprehensible racial policies. Moreover, the Kentucky State Legislature finally forced UK to divest its holdings, losing nothing financially. Last Wednesday, the Board of Trustees voted to name UK basketball team player dormitory the Wildcat “Coal” Lodge in exchange for a gift of $7 million. To me, it is apparent that Joe Craft – head of Alliance Coal — would like to use this gift as an opportunity to exploit the good name of UK and its esteemed basketball program to promote an indefensible position: namely, that our country should continue to depend on coal as a major energy resource. I am struck that the arguments used in this debate are the same ones advanced in opposition to the divestment resolution some 25 years ago: (1) the goal is not worthy (i.e., that climate change is not

something to worry about, i.e. it’s a myth); (2) it costs too much, either to diversify from fossil fuels and/or to forego a $7 million “gift”; and (3) diversifying from fossil fuels is not going to work anyway. In a final comparison to the events 25 years ago, one group seemed to view this issue as more important than others. Twenty-five years ago, African-Americans seemed to feel they had a bigger stake in changing the apartheid system. Today, young people feel they have a bigger stake in climate change than the rest of us. UK students have been willing to put their money where their mouth is. Last year, they voted to bill themselves a “sustainability fee” in order to have more green campus. Based upon the press accounts of how President Todd adjourned most of the board members from the room while the students made their presentation of their views on the issue known, it is clear that most of the board members do not share the students' concern about the need to address climate change. Coal is Kentucky’s past; and it has served Kentucky well. Coal has put food on the table and paid the tuition for innumerable families in this state. But it is not Kentucky’s future. And we cannot ignore this. While many of the Board members may not be around in 25 or 50 years to see whom history proves right in the global warming debate: Al Gore and his legion of scientists; or Don Blankenship and his legion of lobbyists. Even now, it seems indisputable that the polar ice caps are melting, the oceans are rising, the frequency and intensity of droughts and heat waves is increasing, food crops are failing, the world economy is feeling the consequences, and that fossil fuel is a primary culprit. Given all we know, doesn’t it seem only a fool would take the risk of promoting continued coal dependency? Declining a “gift” aimed at exploiting the good name of UK and its historic basketball program is not too high a price to pay to go down right side of history. The people who will pay the price for the continued dependency of coal are not President Todd, the Board of Trustees or Joseph Craft. Rather, it will be the students who have to live with the changed climate. The board should follow their decision to reject the patronage of the coal industry. The Board of Trustees should reverse itself now, and take a stand for the future. Otherwise, I have a sinking feeling that when the future Board of Trustees looks back 25 years from now at the vote taken last Wednesday, it too is going to wince.

Republicans need more centered focus

There has been much discussion about who is leading the Republican Party ever since President Barack Obama won the election. Many moderates turned their backs to the party during the George W. Bush years and stayed away when names like Rush LimMATTHEW baugh and Sarah CHRISTY Palin were presentContributing ed as potential columnist leaders for the party after former President Bush left office. Those moderates should take a look at Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine. Although her history if supporting pro-choice legislation will keep her from becoming the true leader of the Republican Party, she is rapidly becoming the most heard conservative voice in Congress. Criticized by some conservatives for being too moderate, Snowe’s viewpoints are untraditional and show she has an open mind and is interested in debate. According to the Washington Post, she voted with her party 58.4 percent of the time during the current Congress and often disagrees with her party about abortion and gay rights. Even more unusual than being a pro-choice Republican, she is a politician who works and plays well

with others. She worked under former President George W. Bush to create unity between the parties and is presently a key player in the healthcare debate. By working with (instead of against) Democrats on healthcare reform, Snowe has put herself in a position where her views will be heard by the majority who will actually decide what is included in the bill. In a world where many conservatives are wasting time yelling, Snowe is talking. So why should conservatives look to a moderate like Snowe? Because she is what the Republican Party needs to have more of if they are going to win big elections in the years to come. She supported both wars and the Patriot Act, she works hard for veterans and law enforcement and is as proponent of small business. However, she is not afraid to support gay rights, talk openly about abortion as a twosided issue and shows deep concern for the environment. Being in favor of small government, small business, maintaining American security at home and abroad, and wanting to do what you feel is right even if it means standing up to your own party is what being a Republican should mean. I don’t always agree with Senator Snowe — in fact she has stood behind what I consider some of the worst pieces of legislature

passed in my lifetime — but I am very glad she is in Washington, DC. It is going to take a moderate to bring traditional Republican views to the forefront of the debate while the Democrats are running things. Those who give speeches at tea parties and yell at the president while he addresses Congress can only go so far before those in power start to ignore them. Although these more boisterous and hard-minded conservatives look down their noses at them, it is moderates like Snowe who are quietly making points that need to be made — whether you agree with them or not — in the dignified fashion that we should expect from out leaders. She is definitely a player worth watching. There are many moderates and even some long-time Democrats who would classify themselves as pro-gay rights, pro-choice Republicans if they knew such a thing was an option. To regain dominance in Washington, the Republican Party is either going to win by firing up the far right, a strategy that hasn’t worked well for them recently, or by turning to people like Snowe to bring back the moderates who went flocking to Obama. If Republicans are smart we, will be hearing much more about Snowe in the time to come. Matthew Christy is a history senior. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Wyndham hits weights to make move from linebacker to end By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com

Not too many high school linebackers try to make the transition to the defensive line, especially in the rugged Southeastern Conference. Redshirt freshman Taylor Wyndham tried, and before breaking into a starting role in the last three games, he found out just how difficult the transition was. Wyndham was listed at 210 pounds when he arrived at UK in 2008, about 70 pounds lighter than either Jeremy Jarmon or Ventrell Jenkins, last year's starters at defensive end. After Jarmon left the program following a failed drug test in the spring, Wyndham was considered to be one of three players who would make up the defensive end rotation, along with redshirt freshman Collins Ukwu and sophomore Chandler Burden. But Wyndham fell off the map in fall camp as junior college transfer DeQuin Evans seized a starting spot and Burden and Ukwu separated themselves. Wyndham continued to struggle with his weight after he had his tonsils removed and he dropped to about 215 pounds — the size of a large safety in the SEC. “I was upset I lost so

much weight,” Wyndham said. “You have to be big to play defensive end.” Wyndham said he now weighs 242 pounds. As his strength came back, so has his game. He started the season as the odd man out in the defensive end rotation, but made the most of his chances and garnered more playing time every week before finally becoming one of UK’s best options at the position. He earned a start in UK's win over Auburn after forcing a critical fumble in the South Carolina game, and hasn’t looked back since. Big plays have become commonplace for Wyndham, who made a sack of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow that ESPN appeared to run on a loop for two weeks. Since breaking into the starting lineup, Wyndham has focused on playing the run and has tried to work more on playing every down rather than seeking out big plays. “I try to focus on being consistent,” Wyndham said. “The big plays will come, and I just try and make the tackles. I make a secure tackle and if I can get a strip or anything than it's more than just a regular play.” Teammates already look to Wyndham for big plays. It's something he'll have to

He's lifting three times a week and it shows. I can see it on film. In the last four weeks, we're going to need him to come up and

make big plays like he's been doing.” But there's still one big play Wyndham hasn't made that he'll be gunning for as long as he keeps ahold of his starting spot. “I'm hoping for an interception,” Wyndham said. “That'd be nice.”

Cats’ potential shown in blowout Until Monday, how did anyone know UK looked better than last year? Preseason pollsters put UK as high as No. 4, which — remember this? — is still fresh off a National Invitation Tournament appearance last March. But those voters based their tallies not on the merits of an experienced team but on John Calipari’s reputation, Patrick Patterson’s experience and JAMES PENNINGTON John Wall’s YouTube presence. Until now, this team was Kernel all talk. columnist Campbellsville didn’t give the Cats much of a challenge, but this much we now know: There’s a reason for all the hype. These players can play. Midterms just passed, and they still haven’t gotten all the way through semester one of Dribble Drive 101. The offense turned it over 23 times —13 of which were unforced. Thankfully, the Cats have more than enough athleticism to weather the storm. Politely, one could call Eric Bledsoe gifted. Properly, one would call him a freak of nature. He generated perhaps the most exciting play

of the night, a thundering block above the rim. It wasn’t anything new for Bledsoe, UK’s shortest player by three inches. “He does it in practice a lot,” Patterson said. “He’s blocked me in practice many times, I’m not afraid to say it. It hurt my self-esteem. He’s pinned it against the glass on me on an open lay-up.” With John Wall serving the first of his twogame suspension, Bledsoe looked like the point guard of the future. What’s this team going to look like when it adds what many believe is the actual point guard of the future? If DeMarcus Cousins scores, rebounds and downright terrifies opponents the way he did against Campbellsville, things might get scary. Cousins had 11 points and six rebounds. If Darnell Dodson hits shots, both from outside (expectedly) and inside (more surprisingly), things might get scary. Dodson led all scorers with 19 points on 50 percent shooting. If these players reduce the turnovers and make the jump they should on defense, things might get scary. At the very least, things will look a lot different than last year.

The new building is over four times as large. “When we committed to build the (new) building, we increased enrollment from 100 to 132 students (per class),” McNamara said. “Our building is quite crowded right now.”

Lindsey graduated from UK in December 2008.

McNamara said not all the faculty would be able to move into the completed areas of the new building, and some would keep their offices throughout campus “It would be nice if all the faculty could be in one place,” said Kevin Fosso, a second-year pharmacy student. “Right now our teachers have offices all over campus.” McNamara said the college will provide space specifically to serve as a social area for students and faculty to interact. “It is the first academic structure on what will be the new academic medical center on Limestone,” McNamara said. The new building will be dedicated on Jan. 25, 2010.

Gillispie pleads guily to DUI By Metz Camfield mcamfield@kykernel.com

Former UK men’s basketball head coach Billy Gillispie entered a guilty plea Monday morning in Anderson County District Court to a charge of driving while under the influence of alcohol in Lawrenceburg, Ky., said the Anderson County District Court Clerk. Gillispie had his final pretrial hearing today. According to a news Gillispie release from Gillispie’s attorney, William Patrick, Gillispie received the maximum fine for a first-time offender in the state of Kentucky. The penalty includes a fine and costs of $1,038, suspension of his driver’s license for 30 days, and completing an Alcohol Drivers Education Program during the driver’s license suspension period. “I made a mistake and admitted my mistake today to Judge (Linda) Armstrong, and I accept the penalty she has imposed,” said Gillispie in a statement issued by Patrick. “I want to apologize to the people of Kentucky, my family and

H1N1 Continued from page 1 cine continues to creep out of the production lines.” The shortage of vaccine is currently a common theme in college health facilities. At the University of Georgia, neither the seasonal nor the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine is available, said Steve Harris, UGA’s director of security and emergency preparedness. Harris said the local public health facility has the vaccine but their student health services does not.

friends, and I want to thank all of those who have reached out to me over the past several months with kind words of encouragement and support.” This was the third time Gillispie had been arrested on alcohol-related driving charges, but it was the first time he had been convicted of DUI. Gillispie was arrested at 2:47 a.m. on Aug. 27 in Lawrenceburg, Ky., after the City of Lawrenceburg Police Department found Gillispie speeding and driving erratically. Gillispie was charged with drunken driving after being pulled over and refusing sobriety tests. He was released later that day on his own recognizance from the Franklin County Regional Jail. Gillispie checked into the John Lucas Aftercare Program, a rehab clinic in the Houston area, on Sept. 4. Gillispie coached the Cats to a 40-27 record in two years at the helm. He was named co-Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year for the 2007-08 season but failed to guide the Cats to the NCAA Tournament during the 2008-09 season. It was the first time UK did not play in the tournament since 1991. Gillispie was fired on March 27.

“One of the biggest challenges we have is not having the vaccine, but who’s to blame?” Harris said. “There’s a general shortage nationwide, but we still do not have either … we’ve been waiting on the seasonal flu vaccine for over a month.” Ohio State University is experiencing the same problems, but students can sign up through an “H1N1line” to receive the vaccine as it becomes available. Numbers of patients with influenza-like illnesses were not available. “We’re not tracking because we’re not testing, but it’s been fairly moderate,” said Amy Murray, OSU spokeswoman. “But we’re treating (the flu) the same way.” UHS is working to make a more “student-friendly” site that will accommodate the many students who use it. Lowe said sexual health services at UK have always been available and sexual awareness is improving. The Web site’s redesign is still “in the process.” “(The Web site) is not functional and we’ve been struggling with it,” Lowe said. “We need to have the flexibility to reach students (on the Web) because that’s where they go.”
