UK hosts four experts to debate social, economic impacts of coal
“
Coal has been the backbone of our American economy and has allowed us to compete on a world stage.”
By Roy York ryork@kykernel.com
On Tuesday, UK attempted to throw a bucket of water on the flames that have erupted around the coal debate on campus. Four panelists, experts on coal from diverse backgrounds, were the firefighters during a forum that invited debate on both sides of the coal issue. Fred Palmer, senior vice president of government relations for Peabody Energy; Tom FitzGerald, director of the Kentucky Resources Council; Joe Craft, president and CEO of Alliance Coal; and Jeff Goodell, New York Times best-selling author and speaker, weighed in before an audience of UK students, faculty and Lexington citizens in Memorial Hall on the economic, social and moral implications on coal as Kentucky’s main source of energy. “(The forum) was a lot more well rounded than I expected it to be,” said Nick Kilby, a political science freshman. “It was obviously two for (coal) and two for change.” Craft brought the economic impact of coal to the forefront of the dialogue. He said his company pays $50 million in taxes to Kentucky each year and plans to open a

Coal is a social, cultural, moral issue. What’s driving this right now is a sense that we shouldn’t be doing this to the planet right now.”
Our goal is to ensure the footprint of coal remains as small as it can be, because now it is a far heavier footprint than it needs to be.”

Since he is a friend of many bar owners in town, he decided a block party was the way to go. “I wanted to have a block party because I thought that it would be close enough to UK to get a lot of people involved,” Daniels said. “The main reason that I wanted to throw a block party is because last year the city told me that I would not be able to throw one on a major street. This year they closed the street down for me.” Happy Hour for HumaniSee Limestone on page 6

Sorority dance competition raises money for hospital By Laura Karr news@kykernel.com
More than 100 Greeks cheered on their fellow sisters and brothers while they danced, raising money in the process. Delta Delta Delta’s philanthropy event, Dancing with the Greeks, raised $3,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude partnered nationally with Delta Delta Delta sorority 10 years ago to raise funds for the hospital. St. Jude’s event marketing representative Courtney Burge said the sorority has contributed a large amount to the hospital. “Delta Delta Delta has been very committed, (and) has done an excellent job,” Burge said. “(They) are really passionate about helping the kids.” Katie Fangman, Delta Delta Delta president, said the dance-off has raised more money than other philanthropy events in the past. Members of Delta Delta Delta helped raise money by asking friends and family members for donations, going out into the community and local businesses to contribute to the cause. “It’s been more exciting, more benefi-

It’s a ‘Wonderful World’ for Matthew Broderick Like his old pal Ferris Bueller, Matthew Broderick may need a day off. The former teen star, 47, is getting slammed for his performance in Broadway's "The Starry Messenger." Meanies are saying his recent stage appearances have been pretty tepid due to a lack of prep. But insiders say Broderick may be taking the fall for his pal Kenneth Lonergan ("You Can Count on Me"), the play's writer/director. Lonergan foes say it's his fault that the new father of twins (he and wife Sarah Jessica Parker welcomed the girls via surrogate in June) is ill prepared. From what we know — and it's not a lot — Broderick had been rehearsing like mad. When we tried to contact the "The Producers" star last month to discuss his new movie, "Wonderful World," playing this week at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, he was super busy, tucked away learning lines. The only time he could speak was 9 at night. That said, when reached, Broderick _ though tired _ was open, friendly and on top of his game. In "Wonderful World," he plays Ben, a folk
singer turned unemployed sad sack who finds joy in a romance with an exotic woman (Sanaa Lathan). Snippets from our chat: Q. What drew you to the character? A. "I was attracted to Ben's humor, his eccentricity, his good heartedness, his paranoia. When I first read the script, it was hard to not think of writer-director Josh Goldin. Though I believe he'd say it's a bit based on me. Josh and I have been good friends for about 20 years. We also grew up in the same circles; New York City, Upper West Side, lots of skepticism and bitterness." Q. Did you learn guitar for the role? A. "No, but I played cello as a boy. I did take some lessons for the movie, so I could at least fake it better, but that's it." Q. What about chess? A. "I really was playing. Though it took the entire crew to figure out how to set things up so checkmate would happen at the right time, to the right person. Everyone thinks they know how to play chess, but it ain't so easy!"

In honor of National Veterans Awareness Week, students and community members can race to raise money for Christmas presents. The Lexington Veteran Affairs Medical Center will be hosting the Victory 5K on Saturday on Leestown Road, to honor and raise money for local veterans. All proceeds will go to the Gifts for Veterans Project, which provides presents for hospitalized and homeless veterans on Christmas at the VA Medical Center. David Webster, coordinator of the race and a statistical assistant at the center, expects more than 100 participants and at least $1,000 raised. “This event, and the money it raises, is such a good cause,” Webster said. Numerous students and members of the UK Military Veterans of America are scheduled to run, including president Nathan Noble and board member Tyler Gayheart. Noble and Gayheart, former Marines, encouraged members of the UK and Lexington community to participate or support the veterans. “This is just the right thing to do,” Noble said. “This is a great way to support veterans who have paid the price for this country. Every veteran has paid the price.” Gayheart, a marketing senior, ran in the

Gayheart and Noble noted how much the race means to the veterans attending. They said although the support from a veteran’s friends and family is enough, support from the community is also appreciated. “To see people from the community support (veterans) is really something special,” Gayheart said. “This event gives people a chance to give back.” Trophies will be awarded to the top three overall male and female times, and medals will be given to the top three runners in each age category.

Sophomore Eric Quigley has hit his stride in his sophomore season, going 15-3 in singles play.
QUIGLEY RISING UK tennis sophomore finds groove in fall tournaments By Nick Craddock sports@kykernel.com
UK men’s tennis sophomore Eric Quigley does not want the fall semester to end. Quigley has gone on a hot streak this autumn, posting a 15-3 singles record through three tournaments, winning the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Ohio Valley Regional Championships as the tournament’s seventh seed, and booking his place
at the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships being held Nov. 5 through 8 at Yale University, at the perfect time. “I definitely have to put my tennis right up there with the best I’ve ever played,” Quigley said. “Just in key moments, I’ve stepped up and relaxed just to get my confidence, because I know it’s there and it’s been coming through when I need it to.” After a quiet 10-6 singles record
in his freshman season, Quigley’s new-found confidence has helped not only with his most recent tournament victory, but also in his earlier fall victories over Oklahoma State’s Oleksandr Nedovyesov, the top-ranked singles player in the nation, and Virginia’s Sanam Singh, a 2009 NCAA men’s singles tournament semifinalist. Entering the season as the No. 70 player in the ITA singles preseason rankings, Quigley himself would not have been so bold as to predict his start to the fall season. “A lot of times I’ve played this good before, but not for this long,” Quigley said. “Maybe for a set or a couple of
krystalball
games, but just being able to do this for a whole match and for whole tournaments has definitely surprised me a little bit.” Even UK men’s tennis head coach Dennis Emery has been a little startled by Quigley’s winning ways. “We recruited Eric as one of the top-10 players in the country and we thought he was going to have this kind of success,” Emery said. “But he’s really had it faster and come along faster than we thought.” The maturation process for Quigley began this summer by playing in lower-level pro tournaments and by just getting out on the court

POSITION BY POSITION
Picks for Week 7 THIS WEEK’S GAMES
on a more regular basis. Quigley said that his familiarity with college life has also helped him focus on tennis. One facet of Quigley’s game that has been better is his serving. Emery said Quigley’s improved service has allowed him not only to score more points off of a serve, but also to stop his opponents from attacking his second serve as easily. Quigley has played more aggressively, but has not taken any extra risks in his game, Emery said. A bit of inspiration, in the form of previous Wildcat tennis great
T.J. Pryor of EKU, like Morgan Newton, can run a little bit and throw a little bit. And like Newton, he’s a true freshman. It is hard to evaluate Newton after his performance last week, but I am betting Pryor will struggle in a Southeastern Conference venue. Adv: UK
Running backs Derrick Locke will not be going against EKU. The Cats have other guys here though, and they will always have John Conner running in front of them. Adv: UK
Wide receivers You do not know about Garnett Phelps, EKU’s star senior receiver, but you can bet defensive coordinator Steve Brown does. Both teams seem to have one player at receiver, but UK’s also spends time at other positions. So the Colonels get the pick here.
UK’s offensive line continues to be the hidden gem of the team. Without them, UK would not have won the Auburn game and the season would be in dire straits. Here is a nod to the work they have done up front. Adv: UK
Defensive line Corey Peters is still phenomenal, while Taylor Wyndham and DeQuin Evans have shown themselves to be playmakers at defensive end. There could still be more consistency from this crew, but UK just has more talent and size than EKU. Adv: UK
Linebackers For the first time in a long time, there are no nagging injuries at this position for UK. That should mean Micah Johnson, Sam Maxwell and Danny Trevathan will be running at peak efficiency. Adv: UK
Secondary Trevard Lindley makes his return this week, which will be a huge boost for UK. Randall Burden has grown into a starter’s role. So the Cats will be stocked here. Adv: UK
Special teams UK finally cut down on the negative plays on special teams last week, and you have to tip your hat to them there. We will see if they can keep it together for the rest of the season, but here is to betting the Cats have it figured out. Adv: UK
Overall There is not a lot of mystery here. This game was scheduled to be a guaranteed win for UK, and that is what it should be. Anything less than a decisive victory would be a disappointment for UK fans. The Colonels gave Indiana a scare earlier this year, but that should not happen on Saturday. Adv: UK

Cats good enough to be No. 2 in country 1. Kansas
but the Hoyas have not.
JAMES PENNINGTON
Finished around the top 10 last season, and they lost only a combined 0.5 points per game from that team.
Kernel columnist
2. Kentucky John Wall may not win player of the year; such things are hard to predict for freshmen. But he will be the best athlete in the country, hands down.
3. North Carolina Three of last year’s national championship superstuds were drafted in the first round, but coach Roy Williams brings in the country’s best talent year in and year out, almost at will.
4. Michigan State Made it to the national championship game, and five of the top six scorers are back. Kalin Lucas will again be one of the nation’s premier playmakers.
5. Texas The loss of A.J. Abrams hurts, but a nice recruiting class will make up for it. Unfortunately for the Longhorns, they are in the same conference as Kansas.
6. West Virginia Devin Ebanks and Da’Sean Butler are both back, and may be two of the best players in the Big East. This is rarified air for the players, but not for the program or Bob Huggins.
7. Villanova
Purdue is a top-five team.
10. Mississippi State Underrated coach Rick Stansbury brought in one of the country’s best recruiting classes. And all five starters are back. Jarvis Varnado may block 200 shots.
11. Connecticut This team could be ranked higher or lower. The nucleus of last year’s Final Four team (Hasheem Thabeet, A.J. Price) are not back, but top-10 talent is still there.
12. Butler The Bulldogs are easily the best of this year’s midmajors. Will young coach Brad Stevens be swept away by a bigger job, or will he stick around like Mark Few did at Gonzaga?
18. Notre Dame They were another Big East flub last year, perhaps the country’s most disappointing team. With Luke Harangody, the Irish could be a top-15 team if the defense steps up.
19. Maryland
John Beilein may employ the country’s highest-energy offense, and he is finally starting to get talent in Ann Arbor, Mich., to flourish like he did in West Virginia.
21. Clemson Many rank the Tigers higher, but they prove me wrong every time I pick them higher. Trevor Booker is a playmaker, but he needs help to live up to his billing.
We on the East Coast will not hear much of Isaiah Thomas (no relation), but he will be one of the nation’s best. The Huskies should run away with the Pac-10.
Four starters are back from an NCAA second-round team last year. They should play well enough in the MAAC to get another favorable NCAA seed this year.
14. Tennessee
23. Louisville
Word is, Bobby Maze has improved a lot this offseason. If he has, the Vols will make up for a lot of last season’s disappointment.
I do not want to leave the Cards out, but I do not want to rank them any higher. Samardo Samuels should play better in a league in which the big men thinned out a lot.
8. Duke
16. California
Kyle Singler is still around, and he will drive this team forward. Hate on him if you like, but he is one of the country’s most relentless players.
Mike Montgomery is in his second year, and the Golden Bears have had time to get into his system. They also have the talent to make it work at a high level.
9. Purdue
17. Georgetown
This team disappointed last season, mostly because of Robbie Hummel’s poor health. All five starters are back. If Hummel is healthy,
Georgetown was not a bad team last year. They had to deal with the loaded Big East. That league has deflated a bit from last year,
B.J. Mullens left. So what? Evan Turner is back, and Thad Matta is high on this team. I buy it.
Jesse Witten, also helped show Quigley what is possible when a tennis player finds a rhythm to his game; Witten made it to the third round of the 2009 US Open as a qualifier before falling to Novak Djokovic. Quigley said he enjoyed seeing the support Witten received and added, “I’d like to be there someday.” However, Emery has been quick not to compare Quigley with Witten or Bruno Agostinelli, an All-American and a leader from last year’s UK tennis team, to avoid heaping pressure on Quigley. “(Quigley has) focused on his own

game, he hasn’t worried about other people, or periphery distractions,” Emery said. The distractions might pile up, however, as Quigley’s recent success has garnered recognition from more observers than just his coach. Quigley was named to the U.S. national team for the Master’U BNP Paribas, an annual international collegiate competition in France to be held in December. Whether it is an international tournament, the collegiate season or the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, Quigley continues to live by the mantra he has adopted this fall. “I feel like I’ve got a shot at everything,” Quigley said. “The way I’m playing right now … I don’t see why I can’t go all the way.”
Greivis Vasquez may be the ACC’s best playmaker this year, and eight of the team’s top-nine scorers from last year’s hit-or-miss team are back.
13. Washington
Last year, Scottie Reynolds lifted this team to the Final Four. He is back, and with the exception of Dante Cunningham, so is the core of that team.

Fun, food, football: UK celebrates Family Weekend By Hope Smith features@kykernel.com
Before the Cats take on the EKU Colonels on Saturday, you can take on your hunger for tailgating food, free stuff, good music and old cheers at the Family Weekend Tent Party. At the corner of Nicholasville and Farm roads, you can join other UK families under a giant tent to celebrate Family Weekend — tailgate-style. Local musician and regular Common Grounds performer Eric Ruppel and a surprise accompaniment will be providing guests with acoustic music, while they chow down on pre-game classics. And if you are lucky, you might even hear Ruppel’s own interpretation of Britney Spears’ famous hit “Oops! … I Did It Again.” The tent party is a collaboration of the Student Activities Board and New Student and Parent Programs, the lat-
ter of which strives to bring families closer to UK life. “It’s a nice way to show parents what’s going on,” said Chris Duncan, SAB’s director of concerts. Ruppel, who played at this year’s “We Are UK” K Week event, was invited back to perform under the tent by SAB. He will play covers or popular songs in addition to some original songs. “Having Ruppel play was a way to have music that wouldn’t be too loud and get in the way of the events,” Duncan said. The organizers expect to have more than 100 guests — “the more, the merrier,” Duncan said. UK cheerleaders might also stop by the tent for a mini pep-rally to get the crowd amped up for the game by leading fans in the fight song, “On, On, U of K,” and showing off their acrobatics. “There’s going to be good music and all kinds of tailgating food: barbecue, hot dogs, burgers and good desserts,”
Duncan said. “It’s very family friendly.” Families can enjoy the free give-aways and free food before heading into Commonwealth Stadium or watching the game on a friend’s big screen. The Family Weekend Tent Party will begin around 10:30 a.m. Saturday and will continue until kickoff at 1 p.m. The tent can be found next to the Gluck Equine Research Center. Tickets to the party are free for students and $5 for family members and can be purchased before the event at the Student Center Ticket Office or at the event. However, a football game ticket is not required to enter the tent party. Parking will be available in Parking Structure #2 on Hilltop Avenue, Parking Structure #6 on Virginia Avenue and Parking Structure #7 on Sports Center Drive according to the New Student and Parent Programs Web site.

Society allows alumni to donate in small amounts ■ KERNEL EDITORIAL Not every UK alumnus has the type of money that commands the power of a Joe Craft or a James W. Stuckert. To help with this, the UK Fellows Society has joined with the Student Development Council to help get students and recent graduates on the track toward giving, without having to make such a substantial donation. According to a Nov. 2 Kernel article, graduates interested in making a pledge of at least $10,000 can do so without having to pay it off all at once. For the first five years, the donation is only $20, followed by $75 a month for the next 10 years, said Susan Harper, assistant director for Fellows Society and Donor Relations. Essentially, the Young Fellows program has found an incremental way that looks to involve many, and hopefully spread the word that alumni don’t have to give substantial amounts of money in large doses. By cultivating the program, UK not only widens its donor base, but it also allows for more individuals with UK ties to get involved in the process and make changes, through finances as their discretion dictates. Graduates who feel too
much money goes to athletics can request their funds go to biology. Think there isn’t enough focus in library science? The opportunity to fix it is now available. Katti Bowling, a 2006 business and marketing graduate and member of the UK Fellows Society, said her biggest hope was that someone else could have an experience as meaningful as her time studying abroad. Bowling designated her donation to fund a study abroad scholarship in the College of Business and Economics. Without the Young Fellows program, however, many UK grads like Bowling wouldn’t be able to reach back and assist the university in an area they see a need, while they are still in tune with the pulse of the university and what made their time at UK special. Big donors who get their names on buildings and honors in their namesake have had a noticeable and positive impact on campus. But the Young Fellows program ensures alumni can leave a lasting legacy on the university they attended. After all, the prominent names people recognize make up only a small percentage of what the university is actually about.

Does Wally Cat and his healthy hygiene initiatives strike a bell with anyone (think bathroom stall posters in university buildings or computer pop-ups at some on-campus labs)? All of these measures show the severity of the situation and the necessity to keep flu levels to a minimum, but some might wonder how to successfully do that. According to the American Medical Association, alcohol-based hand sanitizer is comparable to soap and water in its effectiveness in preventing the amount of an influenza pathogen on the hands. The organization reinforces on its Web site that “hand hygiene, no matter how it is done, is a vital part of infection control.” The site claims it ultimately comes down to what is most practical for the individual; soap and water is usually cheaper and is the best option for heavily dirtied hands, whereas “alcoholbased hand rubs are quicker, and tend to be easier on the skin as well as more portable,” an advantage for health care workers who are always on the move. However, the Canadian
Medical Association (CMA) printed a report in 2007, holding an opposing viewpoint. It stated, “There is no evidence that proper hand hygiene prevents transmission of the flu.” So who’s got it right? Personally, I have always been skeptical of hand sanitizer. Many of them declare they kill 99.99 percent of bacteria and germs, but the thought of essentially replacing traditional hand washing for a concoction in a bottle leaves me a bit leery. Sure, I can see how hand sanitizer’s portability and easy access trumps a practice that requires a sink, a faucet and time enough to hum the ABCs two times through to ensure thorough cleanliness; when I look at it that way, I wonder why hand sanitizer hasn’t completely replaced sink usage. But then I think about all of the times when having a sink nearby has come in handy. (Anyone ever dissected an animal for class? Even with gloves, who wants to be given a squirt of hand sanitizer following the assignment and then be sent on their merry way?) My point is, although hand sanitizer seems in most cases to be the easier of the two methods, sometimes I have to be thankful to have antiquated hygiene methods still available to me for my own satisfaction and sanity. Even if the CMA’s claim has any validity and we’re all going to get the flu by some means or another anyway, no matter what measures we take, I’d still rather stick to satisfied sanity, thank you very much. With that being said, I advise everyone to practice some form of proper hand hygiene. Doing something preventative has got to be better than doing nothing, and I’m sure your neighbor will be grateful that you did. After all, no one likes to be sick.

MATTHEW STALLINGS, Kernel cartoonist
Rekindled TV series far from original Who’s ready to have their personal garden of 1990s childhood memories harvested for a quick, near effortless profit? My own memories are in the path of Disney’s mouse-operated plow. In January 2010, the company will begin re-airing the first three seasons of “Mighty Morphin JOSHUA Power Rangers” in reMOORE Contributing mastered form on ABC Kids. columnist The implicit reasoning behind Disney’s choice to bring the original “Power Rangers” out of retirement instead of adapting the latest Sentai series (the source of all Japanese footage seen in “Power Rangers”, as has been the norm for 13 years), probably resides in plans to sell to a new generation of kids something that will appeal to the nostalgic side of teenagers and adults who grew up with the show. Recurring problems in reviving a franchise, as illustrated over the years by “Star Wars,” “Transformers” and “Masters of the Universe,” are that diehard fans can become discontented with the direction a series is taking with its re-launch, critical changes made in trying to appeal to the masses alienate fans and attempts to recreate the magic that a franchise conjured during its original run fail. However, even if a revival effort is unsuccessful, it can generate interest in prior installments. So it is somewhat of a double-edged sword. George Lucas caught lightning in a bottle when his original “Star Wars” film turned into a blockbuster hit, which allowed him to produce two
more successful and well-respected films in creating the franchise’s original trilogy. Flash forward to the late ‘90s, when Lucas decided to produce the prequel trilogy of films, because by that point in time, the technology was sufficient to support his vision for the movies. The “Transformers” brand is not unlike “Power Rangers” in that the TV show’s primary purpose is to act as a 20-minute advertisement for the toys. The release of the Michael Bay film in 2007 and its sequel released this past summer encouraged squabbles within the fandom, and ignited debates over whether designs of the characters were faithful to the cartoon and whether they were Hollywood popcorn flicks with robots tossed in or genuine “Transformers” representations. Regardless, based on box office returns, the general public loved the movies, and interest in the “Transformers” brand has skyrocketed over the past few years and even cued the re-release of the original seasons on DVD many years later. The story of “Masters of the Universe” is more tragic than that of the other two narratives. After a short-running cartoon that spawned a commercially outstanding line of action figures, the “MOTU” franchise struggled to find its footing among the daunting array of ‘80s cartoons and continually fell flat with mainstream audiences as it tried to redefine itself several times up until the early ‘90s. In the first half of this decade, a new cartoon paying great respect to the old cartoons was developed, which embellished much of the characters’ lacking qualities. The new toy line even provided some of the most beautifully sculpted action figures ever designed for children.
Still, the new series met the same fate as its predecessors and wasn’t around long enough to ignite a “MOTU” fire within the hearts of today’s children, but it did succeed in bringing the franchise back into the forefront of prior fans’ minds and created a huge collectors’ market for the action figures; so some success was achieved. What does all of this tell us? Given the decline in “Power Rangers” TV ratings over the past few years (although one could attribute that to Disney’s mishandling of the show’s schedule and lack of heavy promotion), yet constant fixture in the top-10 in action figure sales, giving the series that catapulted the brand into the homes of millions a re-boot probably is not a bad move on Disney’s part. Not only can they still air the show and use it to propel toy sales, bringing back the most familiar “Power Rangers” team will encourage product design geared toward adults and collectors. And though it’s not likely to recreate the success that occurred in the ‘90s, it doesn’t hurt to put the original series out there for the current generation of children to enjoy. As the transition to the next decade occurs, I expect many more ‘90s properties to be reexamined for their relevancy in today’s market. Whether you like it or not, your memory garden is always open for business and improvement. For now, Disney is more than welcome to replant the seeds of my childhood, but they should avoid the overuse of pesticides and extraneous machinery. The old-fashioned methods work fine for these crops. Joshua Moore is a pre-journalism freshman. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.
Growing up doesn’t equal maturity It’s nice to know that no matter how old a person gets, the capacity to do the incredibly dumb shows no measurable decay. There is no antidote for it. No matter what situation a TIM person reRILEY sides in, Contributing they are still columnist just as capable of making a mess as your common kindergartener. Anecdotally, evidence resides everywhere for this phenomenon, but there is currently no better example of this than the ongoing quagmire that is ESPN commentator Steve Phillips’ personal and professional life. The former minor league baseball player and general manager of the Mets has spent the last four years as a commentator on ESPN, but thanks to his predilection for women he works with, he now finds himself unemployed. Phillips, who has been married for 19 years, has admitted to other interoffice affairs in the past, but despite suffering the consequences of being caught again and again, he has con-
tinued down the same path. Unfortunately for him, not only does he lapse in his choice to have affairs, but he struggles to identify women who are willing, discrete and sane enough to carry one out properly. While working with the Mets, he was accused of sexual harassment by one mistress, but this did not change his opinion on the matter in the least. Instead, he opted to take a short break from cheating on his wife before becoming acquainted with Brooke Hundley. It’s unfair to accuse someone of psychosis without adequate proof, but Hundley gladly has provided plenty to justify the argument. A quick read of the rambling letter she sent to his wife wherein she describes little known details of Steve Phillips’ anatomy while making it clear Steve loves her much more than he does his wife seems enough, but there is so much more. Steve’s paramour posted and carried through on a Craigslist’s ad looking to pay someone to call and harass Phillips’ wife. These are not the actions of well-balanced individuals. I will be caught joining the Brooke Hundley fan club before I will shed a tear for Steve Phillips, though. I
don’t know anything about his wife. She may be the most insufferable person on the face of the Earth or the sweetest flower of the garden, but it does not really matter. Either way, when Phillips opted to begin carrying out extramarital affairs, he willingly opted to expose himself to the insanity of the entire covert action.
There is simply no basis for feeling an ounce of sympathy for (Steve) Phillips. Did he deserve to lose his job over this mess? That is highly debatable. Sleeping around did not make him any less capable of dissecting baseball, and both parties willingly began the tryst. But within the confines of American society, a public figure has to be cognizant that his or her personal life is fodder for job evaluation, and deal with that fact. There is simply no basis for feeling an ounce of sympathy for Phillips. If he wanted to sleep with 22-year-olds, then he should have divorced his wife first. If he wanted to stay together with his wife for the sake of his kids, then
he should have considered how having affairs and getting fired would probably not be good for his offspring. There are other guilty parties in this play, but ultimately the story turns on the willingness of one man to act with about as much maturity as a high school freshman. As the story evolves, more and more people in the story begin acting like children, but if not for the choice of Steve Phillips to set it all in motion, two people would still have jobs, a marriage would still exist and reputations of many would not be sullied. Not realizing the effect one’s actions have on others define immaturity and this sad orchestra in its entirety. It all could have been prevented. Phillips could have taken a cold shower, gotten a divorce or simply acted like a mature adult. Hundley could have avoided a litany of unconscionable acts herself, but hers is a tale for another day. Steve Phillips is just the latest example that no matter how old a person gets, the base nature of humanity remains. Unfortunately for everyone involved, self-control is not a birthday present.

A panel of coal experts participate the “Forum on Coal in Kentucky” on Thursday night at Memorial Hall.
COAL Continued from page 1 new coal mine, which will provide 1,200 jobs and $15 million in tax dollars for the Commonwealth. In response, Goodell said pollution and carbon dioxide emissions are the most pertinent issues surrounding coal. “When Joe opens a coal mine, there are implications for the entire planet,” Goodell said. Each panelist, whether he was pro-coal expansion or pro-energy reform, agreed reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is key as coal use increases in the 21st century. Palmer said his company was moving toward trapping carbon emissions underground, and he said carbon capture and storage would allow coal to grow indefinitely despite environmental opposition. FitzGerald argued coal companies are not honoring restoration regulations and are continuing to find loopholes in legislation. “(Coal regulation) is a mockery of what Congress intended in 1977,” FitzGerald said. “It will take constant vigilance to reclaim the vision that congress had.” Goodell said in order to move forward in
DANCING Continued from page 1 Emily Marion. Ten UK sororities participated in the dance. One member from each of the sororities performed in the Dancing with the Greeks judged by two professional dancers and UK basketball player Patrick Patterson. Two different styles of
energy production and technology, citizens have to accept the harmful effects of coal and begin to find solutions. “Debating whether climate change is real or not is so yesterday, and the question now is what are we going to do about it,” Goodell said. “You can’t lobby Mother Nature.” But Craft believes even as the world moves forward with energy initiatives, coal will stick around. “The opposition wants to name coal yesterday’s fuel,” Craft said. “I believe coal is not yesterday’s fuel … Globally, it’s the fastest growing source of energy.” Craft said 80 percent of the issues surrounding coal were problems the industry and environmentalists could agree to begin working toward solutions. He said the debate should focus on those issues instead of the 20 percent of problems raising major issues. “I agree with the concept that we all must work together,” Craft said. “But the question is: Where do we want our country to go and where do we want our economy to go?” Kilby said the event would inspire people to educate themselves on the coal issue, but the forum equated to a bucket of water being thrown on a forest fire. “If you let something like this make you think everything’s going to be OK, then you’re not an activist,” Kilby said.
dancing were showcased: the Cha Cha and the Tango. Overall winner and Spirit Award winner was Kappa Delta member Christi Rowland, with her partner Andrew Gerughty from Alpha Tau Omega. Kappa Delta received $50 to donate to their philanthropy. Other awards included best Cha Cha, won by Delta Gamma member Stephanie Martin and Phi Sigma Kappa member Justin Linne. Best
LIMESTONE Continued from page 1 ty formed when Daniels and close friend Andrea Branchini were sitting at the Chevy Chase Starbucks discussing an earthquake in Italy. They decided to host a happy hour at the Tin Roof to raise money for the disaster, and raised almost $3,000. Since then, Daniels has hosted events for UK Childrens Hospital, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Women Leading KY scholarship fund, Susan G. Komen and The Rich Brooks Foundation. Accounting graduate student Thomas Carver had worked with fundraisers for the Huntsman Cancer Institute in the past. When he heard from a friend about Daniel’s organization, he rounded up a few friends and asked Daniels to help plan an event to get students involved. Meghan Darst, a Spanish and marketing junior, was one of the students involved with ticket sales. Darst said as of Thursday afternoon, they had sold about 1,000 tickets and had a few hundred left.
Tango performance won by Alpha Phi member Bethany Benyo and her partner, Sigma Nu member Mitch Wattles. With a large crowd of UK students cheering on their friends and fellow Greek members, dancers were able to have fun with their routines and add in some free style of their own. Kelly Prickett, an elementary education sophomore, said the atmosphere was “energetic, entertaining and fun.”
Darst said she expects a good turnout since some of the most popular campus bars are participating. “Two Keys and the Paddock are two popular bars for Friday nights, so you might as well come out this time for charity,” she said. “You can feel good about going out.” In addition to the bars, Pita Pit and Bunk's Burgers will also be participating Friday night. Daniels said students should expect good music, food, drink specials, giveaways and networking opportunities. “ … you are going to go out anyway,” Daniels said. “You might as well go out, have a good time and help someone in the process.” While Daniels said it is an opportunity for the bars on the closed off street to acquire business, the bars donate the money from the tickets and 10 percent of all sales as well. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to charity, he said. Tickets can be purchased all day up until the event. Darst said she will be set up in the W.T. Young Library entrance Friday. For information on how to buy tickets, visit the event’s Facebook page at (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=1 47169972015).

Q&A with
Randall Burden With Trevard Lindley out, the sophomore has made a name for himself in the UK secondary By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Q. If you weren’t playing football right now, what would you be doing? A. I was more of a band guy. So I’d probably be in the band or maybe just playing basketball. Q. You’re looking like the next UK star from LaGrange High School in Georgia, the same place where Wesley Woodyard and Braxton Kelley came from. What is it about LaGrange that produces such great players?
A.
It starts from middle school and goes up to LaGrange High. From then, it’s just something you just like to do. If you’re not doing anything else, you’re playing football.
Q. A couple weeks ago, you had an interception returned back for a touchdown. How was that? A. I was just shocked. I couldn’t believe it was happening.
As I was running, I was just thinking to myself that I couldn’t believe it was really about to happen. I was just hoping there wasn’t a flag on the play.
Q. What would’ve happened if you had tripped over your own feet or something? A. I don’t even know. I probably would’ve started crying or something. Q. It looks like Trevard is coming back this week. What’s that going to be like now that you won’t be one of the top guys out there?
A. I’ll still be out there on the field, but either way it goes, if he’s out there or if I’m out there, I will still try to make plays. Q. But can’t it take some pressure off of you to have a guy like Trevard coming back? A. I think if I’m not having to cover the best guy on the other team, that’s good for me because I can lock the other guy down.
Q. There have been a lot of players for you all out with the flu this week. Do you get worried about that? Do you want to practice with a mask?
A. I’m worried some days, just hoping and praying I don’t
get it. It’s just something you have to prepare yourself for, you just have to wash your hands and stuff.
Q. Now that you have your defensive touchdown, what else would you like to do while you’re here? A. I want to break Trevard’s pass breakup record. That little thing he has going. I want to break that. This year has been going good since he hasn’t been playing, but me and (senior linebacker) Sam (Maxwell) have something going to see who can get the most pass breakups.
Q. That’s right. Sam is leading the team in pass breakups and interceptions. Does he ever remind you guys about that? A. Yeah, we were talking about that earlier today. He’s got three interceptions and I’ve got two, and he’s got 10 pass breakups and I’ve got nine, so we’re trying to see who can get the most by the end of the season.
Q.
There were a few scouts from the (Chick-fil-A) Bowl at the game last week. What would that mean to be able to play in a bowl in your home state?
A. It’d be fun because I’d have everyone I know come to the game. It’d be good to go home and show off in front of my friends and stuff.
Q. What’s one thing about you people don’t know yet? A. I like cartoon-type movies like Madagascar 2. It’s just funny to me. If I’m in the movie, you’re going to hear me laughing louder than anybody else in the theater.
Q. You’ve still got the Georgia game left on the schedule. What would it be like to go out there and beat them? A. That would be good because I have people back home who love Georgia. So I could brag back to them. They didn’t recruit me.
