KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Cats fans ask for ‘one more year’ By Drew Teague
news@kykernel.com One local business set up a march to head down and try and convince campus celebrities of a cause. David Ware, owner of The Inkspot just off Limestone, set up a march to head over to Wildcat Lodge to try and convince the UK men’s basketball team to stay and play for UK for “one more year” “One more year!” and the
C-A-T-S cheer were the battle cries as a crowd of 30 to 40 people walked down the sidewalk of Limestone toward Wildcat Lodge to try to bring out some of this year’s basketball team, trying to convince the athletes to stay for another season. Ware thought of the event not long after the Cats lost in their Elite 8 game to West Virginia. “We teamed up with a Web site on Facebook and we decided we were going to do
a shirt,” Ware said. “Then online, people started using it as their picture on Facebook, so since we have the place on Limestone, we said we’d host it, we’d do a march and that’s what everybody online wanted.” With more than 150 people confirmed to attend from the Facebook event page, Ware figured the event would be a success. People even walking on the street joined the march to the lodge. “It’s a great little crowd
that turned out,” Ware said. “And they got to see Patrick (Patterson), so it was worth if for everybody.” Though there were UK students present, like Anasha Acton-Wimsatt, a communications freshman. “I came to see the basketball team and see if they are going to stay one more year,” Acton-Wimsatt said. “They’ve been a great asset to UK basketball and they’ve

UK students had a voice at an early morning forum at Keeneland Race Track on Thursday. At a Lexington Forum event for Kentucky’s Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate, students from journalism professor Buck Ryan's Discovery Seminar Program asked the candidates questions based on their research in advance of the forum. The class, titled “Citizen Kentucky: Journalism and Democracy,” had to research and contact the candidates to get to know them better. Sarah Jones, an English freshman, said the forum at Keeneland gave her the opportunity to see if the candidates were who she thought they would be. “The candidates that I liked through researching were polar opposite in person,” Jones said. “(However), the candidates that did not stand out to me through research stood out to me with personal contact.” All five Democratic candidates participated in the five rounds of the forum. First, the candidates had a lightning round of introductions, and then they had time to comment on what the other candidates said. The students began a “citizen topic” round by mentioning one or two words they felt the candidates should discuss. Some topics mentioned were health care, education, credentials and bipartisanship. Daniel Mongiardo of Hazard, Kentucky’s lieutenant governor, spoke first. He was followed by Darlene Fitzgerald Price of Whitley City, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway of Louisville,

Second time around Smith/Hayes re-elected to second term in SG office By: Brandon Goodwin bgoodwin@kykernel.com
After a month of upsets, Student Government elections proved to be the exception. SG President Ryan Smith and Vice-President Kelsey Hayes sealed their bid for a second term on Thursday, winning the 2010-2011 Student Government Election. Smith is the first incumbent president to win reelection since Rachel Watts in 2003. Watts was elected after the university saw backto-back impeachments of SG presidents. The Smith/Hayes campaign received 1,972 votes, Haag/Colgate received 1,029 votes and Harding/Minstein received 259. Michael Haag and Julie Colgate ran a contested campaign compared to years past, said biology senior Ian Holbrook. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see a close race, but I would be surprised if people wanted a change from last year,” Holbrook said. Accounting sophomore John Baldock supported Smith and Hayes since the beginning of the year. “I’ve been campaigning and working really hard for Smith/Hayes this year,” Baldock said.

New residents to roll through Lexington By Marc Blevins news@kykernel.com
Walking around downtown Lexington, residents may have become accustomed to seeing plenty of blue and white. Now, they may be noticing a new presence — old-fashioned trolleys. On Friday, LexTran will begin running five new public buses that resemble old-fashioned trolleys and can accommodate 25 passengers, including those with disabilities. The trolley-bus service, called the COLT Trolley, is free to passengers and will run along two routes – the Green Route, between UK and Transylvania University down South Limestone, and the Blue Route, running along Main and Vine streets between Thoroughbred and Triangle parks, according to the COLT Trolley schedule. First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
The Green Route begins on Avenue of Champions, between South Limestone and South Martin Luther King Boulevard, and ends at Third Street. Casey Hutchinson, a UK alumnus, said the service is convenient to those living around campus. “The trolley would make it much easier for folks around the campus area to visit downtown Lexington for lunch or shopping,” Hutchinson said. The perpendicular routes run every 10 minutes on weekdays from 11:30 am until 2:00 p.m. Evening service runs Thursday through Saturday, beginning at 6 p.m. on the Blue Route and 8 p.m on the Green Route. During a news conference on March 26 announcing the trolleys, LexTran’s General Manager Rocky Burke said the project is a See Trolley on page 2

DEBATES Continued from page 1
‘Miami Medical,’ premiering Friday on CBS A few minutes into "Miami Medical," Andre Braugher walks out, and this is a red flag worth heeding. Braugher is a fine actor having a great year, costarring in "Men of a Certain Age" on TNT. So when Jerry Bruckheimer's new CBS drama establishes him as William Rayner, chief of a crack emergency medical team, things seem promising. Unfortunately, within scant minutes Braugher's surgeon has an inexplicable nervous breakdown. He walks out of the hospital, and presumably our lives, shedding his clothes as he goes. This is not, by the way, played for laughs. No, it is played for fraught, the specialty of Bruckheimer TV productions. "Miami Medical," which has its premiere Friday night (another red flag), is not just about the staff of an emergency room, it's about the Alpha Team at the Top Trauma Hospital in the Country, a group of doctors who specialize in "the golden hour" — the 60 minutes after critical injury occurs and Life Hangs in the Balance. ("Eleventh Hour" would have been a better term, if only because it does not evoke a pornographic term, but alas, Mr. Bruckheimer already used it as the title of the short-lived Rufus Sewell vehicle.) Like "Eleventh Hour," "Miami Medical" stars a British actor playing a romantic character with a dark and tragic past. In this case, it's Jeremy Northam (mer-
cifully allowed to retain his accent) as Dr. Matthew Proctor, whose tour of duty in the first Gulf War left him craving the excitement of the, um, golden hour. It also, apparently, grants him permission to say the most outrageous things, including: "This is like 'M(ASTERISK)A(ASTERISK)S(ASTERISK)H' in paradise." (The sound you hear is the late, great Larry Gelbart spinning in his grave.) The show dutifully follows the current procedural template: Something cleverly terrible happens to ordinary people and the stars try to fix it. In this case, an explosion critically injures a bunch of folks, and because nothing says "pilot" like children in peril, these include a very pregnant woman and a teenager. We are introduced to Miami Medical by nurse Tuck Brody (Omar Gooding) explaining to a group of newbies that this is no ordinary emergency room. In the absence of Dr. Rayner, the gorgeous and ambitious Dr. Eva Zambrano (Lana Parrilla) briefly vies with overly-pleased-with-himself Dr. C (Mike Vogel) for top position. But then Proctor shows up, demanding "two units of O neg stat," quickly gets the lay of the land from resident Serena Warren (Elisabeth Harnois) and is soon running the show. MCT

hour and a half and finished with a bonus round of responses to the students’ own questions. The students were pleased with the results from the first of their three forums. They have their own forum coming up on April 14 and
another Lexington Forum for Kentucky’s Republican candidates on May 6. “I couldn’t be have been more happy with how it ended up,” Jones said. “I can’t wait to do it again.”
Each hybrid trolley cost $550,000, while diesel trolleys cost $375,000 each, Burke said. The life expectancy for the trolleys is about 12 years. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and a Federal Highway Administration Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant made the trolleys possible, Burke said. Hutchinson said he hopes
the trolleys will help downtown businesses. “I think it would be a big boost for downtown businesses [that] sometimes suffer from a lack of parking,” Hutchinson said. “The trolley would allow people living and working in the campus area to visit downtown Lexington and not be stuck without parking when they get back.”

Several people of the rally group began to race toward the player. As they surrounded the vehicle, the group began to chant “One More Year” to a surprised Patterson. One of the workers from The Inkspot came over and had Patterson put on a “One More Year: Imagine the Future” T-shirt. Patterson was asked by Ware if there was anyone else who the crowd could try to rouse out of Wildcat Lodge. “No, they are in Indy,” Patterson said.

Members of the UK club Frisbee team do warm up drills at the start of practice on Wednesday evening.
Ultimate club throws for nationals By Lones Seiber IV sports@kykernel.com
The men’s and women’s basketball teams aren’t the only teams at UK enjoying success in the month of March. The UK club ultimate Frisbee team has performed like many other sports on campus. The only difference is you might not know about them. The ultimate Frisbee team has just come off an ultimate accomplishment after winning the High Tide Spring Break Frisbee Bash in Brunswick, Ga., earlier this month. They competed against 27 teams in the A-bracket, the highest men’s bracket at the tournament. While the team has 20 players, 14 are experienced and travel to tournaments to represent UK. “Everybody that plays Frisbee is really cool. They just want to have fun,” said team captain and graduate student Evan Kraus. “We’re always looking to find players, especially when our current players are soon to graduate.” The Frisbee team was established by a group of Lexington Catholic alumni in the fall of 2005 following their enrollment at UK.

Michael Hopper lays out to catch a frisbee at practice on Wednesday evening. “(A good ultimate Frisbee player is) willing to learn the game and wanting to get better,” Kraus said. “People get confused when they come out thinking this is a recreational team.” Many students who try out for the team can’t handle the rules or may not know the rules, Kraus said. “Not to mention there is a lot of running involved,” he said with a laugh.
This year, the team has traveled to more tournaments than ever before. They’ve traveled as far as Chicago, Granville, Ohio, Miami of Ohio, Brunswick, Ga., Vanderbilt University and as close as Berea, Ky. The Cats face off again in Granville, Ohio on April 17-18 with hopes of qualifying for nationals. To do this, they need to place in their section which would put them in regionals.
Kraus hopes the success so far this year will bring out more players to the team. Many big schools in the country have an A-, B- and C-team, but with the limited number of people who come out, they barely have enough to fill an A-team. “Winning these (regional) tournaments are more to have fun than anything,” said Jack Miller, a threeyear ultimate Frisbee veteran. “Fortunately, we come out victorious in most of the tournaments we play in.” Miller was drawn to the sport when he saw some guys throwing the disc around one day and decided to try it out. He said it reminded him of his days as a goalie in soccer. “I love the athletic challenge when the disk floats and it’s challenging to judge and catch it,” he said. The team doesn’t have a coach and is instead run by the captains or veteran players on the team. In the past year, the team has become closer with the wins and success and with the chemistry that is built when they travel to various tournaments. “I am very proud of the team,” Miller said. “I have had the most fun this year than any other year playing.”
There is no magic. UK baseball head coach Gary Henderson uttered those words after a loss to Western Kentucky dropped UK (17-9, 1-5 Southeastern Conference) to 1-4 in their last five games. And there’s no magic wand that can make things better for the Cats, who are in the midst of a stretch where they play 18 of 20 games vs. ranked opponents. “There is no magic. We have to play better, we have to hit better, we have to knock guys in, we have to make pitches when it matters,” said Henderson while going through a laundry list of things his team needs to improve upon. “We have to do the whole thing better if you’re going to play that level of schedule.” The tough schedule comes from a mix of out-of-conference (but in-state) opponents – WKU ranks in the top 25 in most polls, and Louisville, who UK plays twice, currently ranks in the top 10 in most polls — and top SEC foes such as Florida, Alabama and Arkansas. “Your mindset has to be that you’re looking forward to it,” Henderson said following the 6-3 loss to WKU. “You want to test yourself against the best people, which is what we do every weekend, and you want to play your best against them.” The Cats are turning to their speed to get the offense going. UK leads the conference in both stolen bases and attempts. “We’re doing everything we can to spark the offense, trying to put up more than one run (in an inning),” Henderson said. Neiko Johnson paces the team with 15 stolen bases, the most in the SEC. “I like having the freedom to be able to run,” Johnson said. “It helps having speed, but I just keep staying aggressive.” The aggressiveness on the base paths may not always translate into wins — UK stole eight against WKU — but it helps. “If you’re a base-stealing team, (opponents) tend to throw more fastballs and worry about runners more,” Johnson said. “You’re more apt to get good pitches to hit.” Even with runners on and advancing, the Cats are currently having trouble driving them in. “We left another eight guys on,” Henderson said after the WKU game. “That’s clearly the issue is trying to relax and drive guys in when you get them on. The biggest issue is we’re going to have to create some offense, or your margin of error is zero.” Even in the opening stages of a brutal schedule, with more to come, the Cats are confident in their ability to swing the bats. Asked how they need to improve in RBI situations, Gunner Glad had a simple answer — and he didn’t say magic. “Battle,” Glad said. “But I’m confident with our offense we’ll pull around and cash guys in when we need it. We have a lot of good guys, we just need to string some hits together.”
NBA Draft about more than current skill set By Metz Camfield mcamfield@kykernel.com
Trees are beginning to bloom, the weather is warming up, Keeneland’s spring meets are at the gate and the futures of a few 19-, 20-, and 21-year-olds are on the minds of the entire Big Blue Nation. Many believe John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patter-
son have seen their final playing days at UK and will enter their names into this summer’s NBA Draft. The futures of Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton are still very much in the air, though. Jonathan Givony, president and director of scouting at DraftExpress.com, which is described on its Web site as a professional scouting service written and designed by a
group of dedicated basketball analysts with a passion for the game, said the way players perform in college doesn’t always translate into how they will play at the next level. “It’s two different styles of game, a lot of these guys are going to change positions, change roles, their body is going to develop, their skill set is going to develop,” Givony said. “So, there are a lot of projections that are being made.”
Orton’s father, Larry, told reporters on Wednesday his son would enter the NBA Draft but not hire an agent. By doing this, Orton would leave the door open to return if he wants. Givony said entering your name in the draft and not hiring an agent can be a good thing, but it could also hurt the player if he’s not ready. “It kind of forces NBA teams to consider you,” Givony said. “Then
you can talk and you can have people talk to them and kind of figure out where your stock is at.

Student loan reform saves failing system Regardless of your political stance or opinion on the Health Care Reform Bill signed into law by President Barack Obama, part of the bill will have a large impact on many students. This overshadowed part of the bill, the education portion, is restructuring the way the government will be handling student loans, according to a March 28 Kernel article. Notice the key word there: government. No longer will private financial institutions receive the $61 billion subsidy through the Federal Family Education Loan Program to hand out private loans. Instead, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibilities Act will provide lower-interest loans to students directly from the government through the universities’ financial aid offices. Taking out private loans to pay for your education and expenses may seem nice and convenient now. But, by the time graduation rolls around and you’re forced to pay them back, the interest will accrue and you’ll be swimming in a sea of debt. The Obama administration is trying to lessen this burden on college students and should be applauded for their effort. Government loans for students have a considerably lower, fixed interest rate, whereas private loan companies can have sky-high, constantly changing rates. Because of the government’s elimination of FFEL, the Pell Grant will increase from $5,350 to $5,500 for the next two years, according to the Kernel article. After that, it will be adjusted based on inflation and the cost of living, which only makes sense. As prices continue to climb, the cost of college is no exception, so any way an education can be made more affordable can’t be a bad thing. In addition to increased Pell Grants, the bill will cap loan repayments at 10 percent of the borrower’s income after June 30, 2014, as opposed to the current 15 percent. The bill will also allow the government to forgive a borrower’s debt after 20 years, down from 25, if payments are kept up, according to the Kernel article. “This is (the) right thing financially,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a news release. “This is the right thing economically. This is the right thing educationally.” The 4,094 UK students who received $15.7 million from Pell Grants for the 2009-10 school year, UK and can only expect more next year, certainly can’t argue with that.

Pessimistic policies plague student health Health care has been such a hot button topic lately, but what happens when health care providers don’t help us when we need the care they provide or the documentation? The concept of a doctor’s note is nothing new, as most employers or professors require the documentation of health care AUSTIN providers to vouch for HILL people’s illnesses. Kernel Students here on columnist campus who use University Health Services, either because of convenience or because it is their only health care option, are not fortunate enough to receive such a note, however. No, the note you will be given to take to your professor or employer is a yellow piece of paper with a stamp on it that will get you a 100 bad looks, and a sigh of disappointment. I have been the lucky recipient of some viral or bacteria infection that has been circulating over the last few weeks. This infection starts out feeling like seasonal allergies, sore throat, runny nose, which is probably what whoever I received it from thought as classrooms are filled with coughs and sneezes this time a year. After two or three days though, those symptoms beat you like a whole new monster. Bottom line, I knew I was sick, and this ravenous disease caused me to miss three days of class.
I have teachers who tell students if you are sick to stay home. They don’t want this stuff whipping through the classrooms like a brush fire. These professors also require a doctor’s note. I was able to get a ride to my appointment on my second day of sickness, and the nurse was very kind in getting me help. I actually have always enjoyed my experiences at UHS. The nurses are all great, the administrative staff is always nice and efficient and most of the doctors I have seen have always been knowledgeable and helpful. I was prescribed antibiotics, along with some scrutiny for not being excited enough about graduating. I thanked the doctor for the grief and the medicine, and then asked her for a doctor’s note. Not anything exempting me from class, just a note saying “Austin has a viral, or bacteria infection, can’t figure out which, treating him for both,” signed by the doctor. I was told the policy for Student Health Services prohibits doctors from writing notes and if professors want to know if their students are indeed sick, they can contact her by phone. I then told her that my professors have hundreds, even thousands of students who sometimes are all sick, and they don’t have time to make calls on those students to check on illnesses. She then told me of why the policy was put in place, explaining that 17 years ago, kids were just coming to the doctor for the notes. I then replied only a pessimist would go that far back into history to
punish students today for what occurred 17 years ago. Furthermore any stranger off the street can walk up and stamp a piece a paper that verifies a visit to the clinic, I just needed something vouching for why my voice sounds so bad and my coughing might be a distraction. I know the little yellow cards say they are indeed not excuses, but again, since UHS is there for many as a primary-care clinic, it has to do the job. Teachers don’t take these things. I can’t show it to my employer and it is not possible to fake a fever or plant a pile of phlegm in my lungs to get out of an exam. If a student is sick and a doctor prescribes medicine, then give them a note. If they are not sick, tell them so and don’t give them one. Laying on the couch, feeling like death warmed over, falling behind in homework and fighting bad daytime television is hard enough, and shouldn’t have to result in unexcused absences or punishment for keeping others away from your swine flu. Some people do go to the doctor just for the notes; it is because they are required by others. Over-the-counter drugs are prescribed half the time and when people don’t have insurance they treat themselves with sleep and Sudafed. The note is vouching for a professional diagnosis and that is what some people need. Not to be punished by a stupid policy and pessimist ideals. Austin Hill is an English senior.

Thomas D. Clark Lecture offers humor, humility By Kellie Doligale kdoligale@kykernel.com
For one man, the luck of the Irish need not apply to his life. Malachy McCourt, best-selling author, actor and spokesman visited Lexington Thursday to deliver this year’s Thomas D. Clark Lecture, and said he does not want luck ascribed to his success. The lecture coincides with the Mary C. Bingham Seminar, a class for which faculty compete every other year to teach a subject of their choice within the humanities. This year’s seminar is titled “Across the Atlantic: Exploring Irish Immigration to the U.S.” Diana Haleman, lecturer of family studies and this year’s Bingham seminar lecturer, invited McCourt to speak at UK. “I hesitate to designate this as a lecture as I have absolutely no qualifications to be lecturing to anybody about anything,” McCourt said. “Even my own children. “Thinking is very dangerous for me, because when I get into my own head, I am behind enemy lines.” McCourt read a passage from his book, “A Monk Swimming,” a title he explained is from his mishearing of a line from the Hail Mary, “Blessed art thou amongst women …” McCourt, who said he is happy to consider himself an American, said his outlandish actions in earlier life
are derived from some innate desire to be noticed. Having grown up poor in Ireland and facing death within his family, he said he believes each person has the right to fulfill his or her dreams and should not be told otherwise. “We were humiliated so many ways when we were kids,” McCourt said. “Poverty was the order of the day. Death and despair were the delightful fruits.” McCourt detailed the deaths of his baby sister, Mary Margaret, and brothers Eugene and Oliver, all of which occurred within two years. McCourt’s brother, Frank, famed author of “Angela’s Ashes,” died last year. “Death to me is a total absurdity,” McCourt said. “Here we are, with the exception of myself, with a 100 percent mortality rate. We’re all going to die no matter how old we are.” Having found poverty and strife to be hindrances on his desire to succeed academically, McCourt left school at age 13. He credits his love of reading to his success as an author, but with an undeniable air of humility. Recently, McCourt received an honorary grade school certificate from the Irish government. “We all have a story,” McCourt said. “And I urge everybody, no matter who or what you are, tell your story … Live every day as if it is going to be your last, because one day, you’ll be right.”

John Wall and Patrick Patterson are both projected to be lottery picks by DraftExpress.com. Both players are expected to declare for the draft in the coming weeks.
BASKETBALL Continued from page 3 when you’re ready. You can’t force your way into the NBA.” With the order in which teams will pick for the draft still undecided, DraftExpress has not yet taken into account team needs when putting together their mock drafts. Currently, Wall is projected No. 1, Cousins is No. 3, Patterson is No. 11 and Orton is No. 26. Bledsoe is not in their projections in the first or second round, but is projected to go No. 16 in the 2011 draft.
The order for the first 14 picks in the draft, or the “lottery picks,” hasn’t been decided yet, and Givony said which team winds up with what pick will have some say as to whether Wall will become the top pick. “I don’t think you can 100 percent say ‘he’s absolutely going to be No. 1,’ ” Givony said. “It depends on the winning results of the lottery.” One player who changed his game for the NBA is Patterson. After playing his first two seasons with his back to the basket, Patterson developed an outside game in his junior year.
Patterson did not hit a single 3-pointer in his first two seasons with the Cats, but he knocked down 24 in his junior season and shot 34.8 percent from beyond the arc. Givony said it’s hard to classify how far Patterson moved up the draft boards because he pulled his name out of the 2009 draft so quickly, but he’s a much safer pick this year than last year. “I think there’s no question that he helped himself,” Givony said. “I think we learned a lot more about him as a person, as a leader, improving his perimeter shooting helped him. I think he’s a pretty safe pick.”
