KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Patterson, four freshmen enter NBA draft By Metz Camfield mcamfield@kykernel.com
D-day has struck Big Blue Nation. Wednesday, April 7 will be known as Decision Day for the UK men’s basketball team, and the roster will look very different next year. Junior forward Patrick Patterson, freshman guards John Wall and Eric Bledsoe, and freshman forwards DeMarcus Cousins and Daniel Orton
will enter their names into this year’s NBA Draft. “I’ve spoken with all five guys concerning the NBA and have encouraged them to put their names in the draft,” said UK head coach John Calipari in a news release. “They’ve all met individually with our compliance office to make sure they have a full understanding of eligibility rules and academic responsibilities. I’m so proud of these five young men, with everything they
did for us on the court and the way they represented us off of it.” UK Athletics did not specify whether the five players will sign with agents. Underclassmen have until April 25 to declare for the draft and have until May 8 to withdraw their names if they have not signed with an agent. All five players are projected to be first round picks. Wall could be the first player taken overall, Cousins and Patterson are projected
to be lottery picks and Bledsoe could be a top-20 pick. Patterson averaged 14.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season. If Patterson remains in the draft he will finish 11 points shy of 12th place on UK’s all-time scoring list with 1,564 points. “I want to thank the fans who have supported me all three years,” Patterson said. “I also want to thank the coaches for putting me in a position to showcase other parts of my

game as well as my versatility. Lexington and UK will always be a special place to me.” Wall was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, the Adolph Rupp National Player of the Year and a first-team All-American by the Associated Press among many other awards. Wall averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds. He finished the season with See NBA on page 5

Mathematics Professor Richard Ehrenborg juggles batons on top of a desk in White Hall Classroom Building on Wednesday evening.
Juggling the equation Arts & Sciences event demonstrates math By Kate Carpenter news@kykernel.com
Usually math professors cause students’ eyes to roll into the back of their heads, but not Professor Richard Ehrenborg. With his neatly parted hair and neatly pleated pants, one would never guess he was about to begin a lecture about the mathematics of juggling. Nor that graduate student Eric Clark would demonstrate how to juggle fire batons at the end of his lecture. However, that was how Mathematics of Juggling, an event which was part of the Department of Arts and Sciences’ AweSome Week, went. Drawing all the eight possible juggling patterns on a chalkboard in a Whitehall
classroom, Ehrenborg wrote with speed and precision, never missing a dot or parabola on the patterns he was drawing. “What do you know about eight?” he yelled across the classroom. Before even giving the classroom full of students a chance to answer, he yelled excitedly, “It’s two cubed!” As he leaped on to the desk in front of the classroom, he continued on pulling stuff out of a box and a duffel bag next to him. Some of the items were articles from the New York Times, The Journal of Science and a huge red book he said came from the library. “You find interesting things at the library, you all should go there more often,” he said, pulling the red book from his box. Ehrenborg’s energy was contagious. The classroom of about 50 people watched to see what he would do or say next and saw him expertly juggle all sorts of items with hardly any mistake. Starting with balls, Ehrenborg moved
on to juggle clubs, then to apples and then to plastic bags. Besides the entertainment of watching someone juggle, Ehrenborg told those in attendance that juggling has other benefits and encouraged everyone to learn to juggle. He also told a joke about an interesting experiment with two control groups. One control group learned how to juggle, while the other did not. “The control group that learned how to juggle grew more gray matter in the brain,” Ehrenborg said. Just as his lesson ended for the day, Ehrenborg invited Clark to the stage and said “anything I can do, he can do better.” As the audience intently stared at Clark, he proceeded to juggle large, sharp knifes, apples and then his finale — the juggling of fire batons. The students watched in amazement as he effortlessly threw fire around. “There will be a quiz over this next Tuesday,” Ehrenborg said with a smile.
President, CEO of AP to visit campus By Cassidy Myers news@kykernel.com
One of the most influential men in the journalism industry will be coming to campus. President and CEO of the Associated Press, Tom Curley, kick off this year’s Joe Creason Lecture Series, an annual event sponsored by the UK School of Journalism and Telecommunications. The lecture series honors and remembers the late Joe Creason, a beloved Kentucky journalist who died in 1974.

Two former Sigma Alpha Epsilon members with multiple charges in conjunction with an arson incident at their fraternity house last month are continuing their legal process after a hearing in Fayette County District Court Wednesday morning. Sean Dunn’s hearing was waived to a grand jury, but no date was set for that hearing. Dunn, an international studies sophomore, pleaded not guilty Dunn to first degree arson, first degree wanton endangerment and first degree tampering with physical evidence. Former SAE president Joe McKinley’s hearing was continued McKinley until May 5. McKinley, an international studies junior, pleaded not guilty to third-degree assault of a police officer. According to the police report, the incident involved a student being wrapped in toilet paper and being set on fire by Dunn. When the victim realized he was on fire, he performed the stop, drop and roll technique, which caught the carpet on fire. Soon after the incident, SAE removed Dunn’s membership, according to the SAE Web site. The victim sustained no injuries and needed no medical treatment. Dunn sustained first-degree burns on his hands. Police and the UK fire marshal previously said they would share reports with the Dean of Students to determine whether or not the fraternity will return to campus. The report is still in progress. The SAE house is currently closed and UK Fire Marshal Greg Williamson recommended the building to stay closed until January 2011.

March stresses one day, no shoes By Sarah Pickerel news@kykernel.com

Carell, Fey ditching the kids The comics talk adventures when there's a babysitter. Hollywood hot spots? Not quite Tina Fey's scene. The 30 Rock actress, 39, relates more to her latest role in the comedy Date Night (out April 9), in which she and Steve Carell, 46, play a married duo on a rare night alone. "Maybe once a month my husband and I get out," the mom (daughter is Alice, 4, with hubby Jeff Ricmond) tells Us. Fey and Carell (who has daughter Elisabeth, 8, and son John, 5, with wife Nancy) fill Us in. Q. So what are your date nights like? Tina: It's a massive effort to get a babysitter, and if we get more than 10 blocks from our house, it's a miracle! Then I'm exhausted. Steve: We are always happy when we get invited to awards shows, because that's our excuse to get dressed up and go out. Even on those nights, we are generally back by 10. You pay for really whooping it up. The kids are up at 5:30 a.m. the next day and so are you! Q. So you don't feel too Hollywood? Tina: When I first met Steve, he threw a phone at me. I thought, "All right, we're in the movie business!" Steve: Tina has no attitude, so I had to school her in pretense! I said, "First you have to disregard all other people!" [laughs] No, we don't think of ourselves in that realm at all.
Janet working through her grief “It was very therapeutic for me — and cathartic,"
Janet Jackson tells Us of returning to the Bahamian set of the Tyler Perry dramedy Why Did I Get Married Too? the day after she laid her big brother Michael to rest. It was good for her performance, too: "Nobody's seen her this raw," Perry, 40, says. "She put all of the anger, frustration and sadness into this film." In the wake of Michael's unexpected June 25 death, plus the demise of her seven-year relationship with music producer Jermaine Dupri, 37, Jackson, 43, had a well of emotion from which to draw. And though she's reprising her role as a psychologist dealing with romantic entanglements in the sequel (out April 2), don't ask her to dispense love advice: "I'm the wrong person to ask. I've been married twice and divorced twice!" she laughs.
Healthy lunch alternatives Brown-bag it and score a better bod! That's a lesson Jamie Oliver teaches in his new ABC reality show, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (Fridays, 9 p.m.), which touts eating fresh food. "Change your lunch habits to cut calories and lose weight," says the British Naked Chef, 34 (and dad to Poppy, 8, Daisy, 7, and Petal, 12 months), who's expecting his fourth kid with wife Jools. Set in Huntington, W.Va. (a.k.a. the U.S.'s "fattest city," per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the series shows him overhauling the town's unhealthy eating. He gives Us ideal midday munchies. COPYRIGHT 2010 US WEEKLY
UK students are officially taking their shoes off to step on the head of a rising popular issue. As one of the campuses registered to participate in the international One Day Without Shoes, UK is hosting a barefoot march to encourage students to experience what life is like in someone else’s shoes, or rather, without them. One Day Without Shoes, promoted by TOMS, was created to raise awareness of how children all across the world live Mycoskie without something as simple as shoes. TOMS, founded by Blake Mycoskie, is driven by a mission to provide a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair bought from TOMS. Ashley Moreno, a member of UK’s TOMS Campus Club, said One Day Without Shoes made her realize how much she really takes these

With hopes of increasing visibility, they plan to march through campus and spread awareness of TOMS mission. Emilee Dover, president of the TOMS Campus Club, is passionate about what One Day Without Shoes represents and is hoping it will help raise awareness on campus. “It’s a small sacrifice for awareness of such an important issue,” Dover said. “This march is meant to be a visible representation of what we can do as a generation to directly make a difference. Hopefully students will see us walking, take their shoes off and walk with us.”

Paul Mitchell opens in Lexington By Shelisa Melendez features@kykernel.com
A popular name in hair has landed in Lexington. On Tuesday, April 6, John Paul Mitchell Systems held a Grand Opening Extravaganza at Paul Mitchell The School Lexington. With the program scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., guests arrived early to tour the new location. Like any other Paul Mitchell event, students and beauty professionals were dressed in black and white attire. Visiting students from the Cincinnati Academy wore black, while current The School Lexington students were dressed in white. Prior to the Grand Opening, fruit parfait’s and “I ♥ PM” cupcakes were made available for guests. While guests viewed Paul Mitchell products and hairstyling stations, hundreds of Paul Mitchell students waited in line to take pictures with John Paul DeJoria, CEO and cofounder of John Paul Mitchell Systems.

Avoiding bad first dates First dates — they’re often awkward and stressful, usually full of overuse of cologne and deodorant. But all of the preparation may go to waste if the set up for the date is a bust. Nowadays you can tweet, text and chat ALISON someone just CARSON to ask them Kernel out and the columnist medium you choose says a lot about your intentions and what the date will entail. So you meet a girl you really want to ask out, then get her number. Texting her to ask her out screams seventh grade. If you can’t actually use your
voice to ask her, it’s going to make actually meeting up that much more awkward. By calling, it relieves some of the tension texting masks. Calling the girl tells her she can expect you are confident and the first date will be smooth. Even if you’re nervous, going out to lunch is a perfect first date. It’s college, so everyone is used to the dollar menu, but splurging on Panera won’t kill you just this once. If you really can’t muster up the guts to dial her digits, texting can be done as long as you don’t just jump right into asking. First, starting up general conversation will let her know you’re not a total creeper and that she can feel comfortable going on a date with you in the first place. See Carson on page 4
PAGE 4 | Thursday, April 8, 2010
CARSON Continued from page 3 If first dates are hard for you, a movie is always an easy move. It requires little conversation and will allow you to slowly get used to each other. It also takes pressure off the girl, especially if it’s one you’ve met a few times. A more recent medium of date-requesting is the Facebook message. If you weren’t friends with the girl before, when she sees the friend request she’s most likely going to know what is up. The message is a lot like a text but it usually is a “next day” or “after the fact” move. You were too nervous to ask her to her face, so you figured Facebook would be easier. We girls understand, but if you’re going to use Facebook you should definitely chat it up before just asking her out. Coming home to a random message asking us out translates Facebook stalker and turns date night into “Dateline”. So once you’ve engaged in some friendly, “are you in a sorority,” “what kind of music do you listen to” standard procedure convo, it’s okay to ask her out. Clearly if you couldn’t swap numbers the first time you met, chances are a formal dinner date probably isn’t the way to handle the first date. A casual Starbucks date or just meeting up for a sandwich isn’t as time consuming and if it’s getting weird you can make a quick escape. No matter how you ask, there is one taboo you must remember. Inviting a girl to your apartment, house or dorm, is not a first date. So swipe the plastic and get the girl — the right way. Alison Carson is a journalism sophomore. E-mail acarson@kykernel.com

Since its start in 1969, Beaux Arts Ball has been a fundraiser first and a musical, artistic masquerade second. All benefits from the ticket sales go to art programs in Lexington. The Living Arts & Science Center is the Ball’s main beneficiary, followed by Art In Motion and The Foundation For Advanced Architecture. Donations often help with projects that offer children ways to express themselves artistically where they normally would not have the means to do so, Buckman said. The Ball has also served to benefit domestic issues such as violence, as well as organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Sunflower Kids. “This speaks volumes to Lexington’s youth and its ability to organize an event of this magnitude,” Buckman said. “There’s

something to be said for the benefits of the arts and the community.” Last year, Beaux Arts Ball raised about $45,000 for the art community. This is an easy way for people who might otherwise be uncomfortable at an average fundraiser or who may not have a large amount of money to give to help out, Buckman said. This year, organizers hope to raise even more with a larger venue and more diverse range of acts. If all goes as planned, there is a possibility that the Pepper Warehouse might be used again for other events, but organizers believe this will be the largest group to convene there. “I’m not sure where else in Lexington people get together in groups of this size, besides maybe Keeneland,” Buckman said. “There’s really no legit business big enough to hold us.” Doors will open at 9 p.m. on Saturday, April 10 at the Pepper Warehouse located at 1200 Manchester St. Attendees must be 18 or older to enter. Tickets cost $25 presale and $30 at the door, and can be purchased online or at several other locations.

SCHOOL Continued from page 3 Following Ervin, Winn Claybaugh, dean and cofounder of Paul Mitchell Schools, spoke of the continuing growth of Paul Mitchell Schools across the country. There are currently 115 Paul Mitchell Schools throughout the U.S., with over 10,000 potential professional students. Along with its rapid growth, Paul Mitchell Schools and John Paul Mitchell Systems are major contributors to five non-profit organizations: Children’s Miracle Network, Food 4 Africa, Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation, Andrew Gomez Dream Foundation, and the recently added Larry King Cardiac Foundation. After the mood for the evening was set, the company’s CEO, John Paul DeJoria,

took the stage. Due to a knee injury on vacation, DeJoria sat on a stool while speaking. While on stage, he revealed the company’s intentions for its students. “It’s not about being a cosmetologist,” DeJoria said. “We want to teach them how to be better human beings.” DeJoria then went on to stress the importance of enjoying the profession and the Paul Mitchell brand. “We want to make sure your culture is more important than anything else,” DeJoria said. As co-founder and owner of most of John Paul Mitchell Systems, DeJoria purchased a 360 year trust for the company, allowing only him to make any changes to it. The purpose of the trust is to ensure the principles, regulations, and goals of John Paul Mitchell Systems remain the same. To the surprise of many
guests and DeJoria himself, UK men’s basketball players Darius Miller, Perry Stephenson, and Ramon Harris made a special appearance to wish both DeJoria and Claybaugh a happy birthday. As the evening drew to a close, both current and prospective students mingled, and expressed why they chose to attend a Paul Mitchell school above all others. “We’re called the Harvard of hair, best of the best,” said Brittany Herrell, creative student from The School Lexington. When making his final remarks, DeJoria wanted every guest to remember one very important fact. “If you ever see Paul Mitchell in a drugstore or grocery store, it is counterfeit or black/grey market. We don’t sell there,” DeJoria said.

Interviews complete for Fine Arts dean Brandon Goodwin bgoodwin@kykernel.com
The position for dean of Fine Arts awaits a final decision after a week of interviews wrapped up Wednesday. The final candidate for the position, Michael S. Tick, interviewed in front of faculty and students in an open forum Wednesday at the Singletary Center for the Arts. Shay Bob Shay, dean of the College of Fine Arts for the past 12 years, decided to step down from his position and return to teaching, said Associate Dean Geraldine Maschio. “I think he has done a good job bringing the college together, making a difference and being a champion for fine arts,” Maschio said. Maschio and Dean of the College of Design, Michael Speaks, led the committee dedicated to searching out possible candidates. Based on the College of Fine Arts Search Committee recommendations, UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy invited three candidates to campus to interview for the position. Tick was one of three candidates to interview for the position this month. He currently serves as the chair of the Department of Theater at Louisiana State University.
Benjamin C. Withers, chair of the Department of Art and art history professor at UK, is one of the other candidates. “As a native Kentuckian, I know how important the fine arts are to Kentucky,” Withers said. Through his time at UK, Withers said he has gotten to know the department and the university and wants to be more involved. Wade Weast, director for academic affairs at the School of Music at State University of New York at Fredonia, is the other candidate vying for the position. Although students and Tick faculty are able to give evaluations of the candidates, the final decision lies with Subb a s w a m y, said Maschio. Weast It is unclear when the final decision from Subbaswamy will be made. “I hope our faculty, Withers staff and students … get to know the candidates,” Subbaswamy said. “And share their opinions about who will be the best fit for the future of UK’s College of Fine Arts.”
Sky Talk brings students closer to outer space By Cassidy Myers news@kykernel.com
Aurora borealis, the number of constellations, which star is known as the “Dog Star” are just a few things students can learn about at Sky Talk. Sky Talk is a monthly event which brings guest speakers to UK’s campus to give short, interactive talks about various topics in astronomy. This month’s program will be held Thursday and features a 45-minute presentation by UK student Jake Gamsky about a NASA group known as SEDS, or Students for the Exploration and Development of Space. If you go Following Gamsky’s talk, attendees will go to the What: Sky Talk MacAdam Student ObservaWhen: Thursday at 8 p.m. tory for some hands-on space Where: Chemistry-Physics observation. The observatory, located on top of Parking Building Structure #2, boasts a 20-inch Admission: Free telescope for up-close stargazing. Timothy Knauer, director of the MacAdam Student Observatory, said attendees will benefit from the event. “Knowledge is its own reward, especially astronomy. Humans have a fundamental curiosity of the universe they inhabit. There is a desire to know the nature of things beyond the earth,” Knauer said. “Anyone interested in contemporary topics in astronomy will find it worth their time. We have had speakers tell us about subjects as diverse as extreme life forms on earth and astrophotography.” Knauer said all students are encouraged to attend, but students with a special interest in astronomy and the research taking place at UK will especially enjoy the Sky Talk event. In addition to learning more about space and the hard work of students like Gamsky, Knauer encourages anyone interested to stop in and check out the observatory, which is open Monday through Wednesday on clear nights from 9 to 11 p.m. “We invite groups to visit the observatory,” Knauer said. “One of the missions of UK is to educate its students, but this is not the only mission of the university. We have an obligation to be a community resource, a community that extends beyond registered students to all Kentuckians.”
Staff trustee candidates to interact at forum By Will Seiler news@kykernel.com
Campaigning for the staff trustee position on the Board of Trustees began March 29, and on Thursday the university community will have the opportunity to hear from the candidates firsthand. The three candidates for the position, Michael Adams, Sheila Brothers and Jann Burks, will participate in an open forum in the W. T. Young Library auditorium to give students, faculty and staff a chance to hear the candidates’ platforms and raise questions. The staff trustee position is the highest office in the university-shared governance a staff employee can hold. The position lasts three years. Robynn Pease, director of Work Life since 2007, has served as interim staff representative since July 2009. Her term ends June 30. The role of the position is to remind the BOT where the UK staff stands on issues like competitive salaries, building expansions and plans to become a top-20 research university, Pease said.
Although students do not have an actual vote in the process, students should still be involved in the process in other ways, Brothers said in an e-mail to the Kernel. “I think that knowledge is power, and the more you know, the more you can do,” Brothers said in the e-mail. “It may be helpful to know which candidates have the best working relationship with Ryan Smith, the Student Government student representative to the Board of Trustees.” Burks said it is the responsibility of all members of the UK community to make the top-20 goal happen. “Students and faculty need to come together to make us a top-20 university,” Burks said. “We need to work together, which means we will serve all people in the Commonwealth, we will come together as staff, students and faculty to make this dream a reality.” Student involvement is important in the process because of the present tough challenging academic times, Pease said. The more students understand, the better they might understand what lies ahead,
If you go What: Board of Trustees candidate forum When: Thursday at 1:30 p.m. Where: W.T. Young Library auditorium Admission: Free she said. Adams was not available for comment.

rent account executive in advertising at the Kernel, was selected two weeks ago to be the new student advertising manager. Geegan said she wanted to take on more responsibility in Kernel advertising and has plans to redo training for workers next semester. “I’m really excited,” Geegan said. “(I) had it as my goal to take a greater leadership role at the Kernel.” Duane Bonifer, president of the Board of the Kentucky Kernel Press Inc., said the Kernel has used a selection process for the two positions for about 30 years. Bonifer said Murray has an “extremely sharp mind” and is “curious about what’s going on in the world.” He said Geegan should be excited about the opportunity the new economy presents to newspapers like the Kernel. “The quality of candidates was outstanding once again,” he said. Bonifer said the selection process went well and showed the strength of the Kernel to work with the trio of the College of Communication and Information Studies, the Kernel professional staff and the students who work at the Kernel. “(The selection was a) tribute to everybody,” Bonifer said. “Tribute to the faculty, tribute to the professional staff and (a) tribute to students who support their colleagues.”
616 points, 241 assists and 175 made free throws. All are UK freshman records. He also had five double-doubles on the season, three in points and assists and two in points and rebounds. Wall is the first player in UK history to record double-doubles in points and rebounds and points and assists. “I’m not the same player as when I arrived at UK,” Wall said. “I believe I’m ready for the next challenge as Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans were the last two years under Coach Cal. I want to thank my teammates and the fans for all their support this year. I love them.” Bledsoe averaged 11.3 points, 2.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. He finished sixth on UK’s all-time freshman scoring list, second in 3-point field goals made (49) and fourth in assists. Bledsoe was also named to the SEC All-Freshman team. “I never thought I’d be in this position after one year,” Bledsoe said. “Coach Cal pushed us all to be the best we could be and he believes I’m prepared to take my game to the next level. I want to thank the fans for all their support this year.” Cousins was named the SEC Freshman of the Year and a first-
team All-American by the AP. The big man from Mobile, Ala., averaged 15.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. His 364 rebounds this season were the most ever by a UK freshman. “Coach challenged me to grow on and off the court this season,” Cousins said. “I believe my game expanded along with my maturity. This year was the most fun I’ve ever had playing basketball and a lot of it had to do with the support I got from our fans.” Orton, while not getting the minutes the other four players saw, showed his defensive prowess by swatting 1.4 blocks per game in just 13.2 minutes. “Being at Kentucky allowed me to play with some of the most talented players in the country,” Orton said. “Battling with DeMarcus (Cousins) and Patrick (Patterson) every day helped improve my game. I want to thank the coaching staff for helping put me in a position to be drafted this year.” If all five players remain in the draft, and there are no other losses, UK would return five players from their 2009-10 roster. “It’s extremely unusual for four freshmen from the same team to have this opportunity,” Calipari said. “But it’s my job as a coach to prepare these young men for such opportunities.”

KERNEL EDITORIAL
Students, university must push for success With UK’s goal of becoming a top-20 university a mere 10 years away, it’s time to buckle down and focus on one of the main problem areas: retention within minority groups. One of these groups of students is receiving a higher level of attention as a result. According to an April 5 Kernel article, Hispanic students at the university have seen a rise in retention rates over the last few years. In the first study, conducted between 1999 and 2001, the graduation rate for the freshmen class was 49 percent for Hispanics, compared to 61 percent for white students. The second half of the study, 2001-2003, saw the Hispanic graduation rate jump to 53 percent. While a 4 percentage point increase might not seem like much, it is quite an accomplishment and definitely a step in the right direction for this underrepresented group of students. “What’s particularly gratifying is if you look at the gap between overall graduation rate and the Hispanic graduation rate, it has narrowed,” said Roger Sugarman, director of institutional research. “It began at 11 percent for the first study, and we have found that it has narrowed to 6.5 percentage points.” Low college graduation rates have often been associated with the Hispanic population, but it seems as if the students at UK are sick of that negative connotation and are working hard to make a change. UK freshman Chris Cardenas, who is of Mexican descent, has seen these statistics on Hispanic retention rates first-hand, as his mother and father both attended college but did not graduate. “I think people use the statistics to fuel the stereotype of Hispanics not graduating college,” Cardenas said in the Kernel article. “This could be a reason why there are so few (Hispanics) in college ... When people read negative numbers about themselves, it makes them not even want to come to college. “If more Hispanics my age would finish college, it would help their eventual children become motivated to graduate college.” Cardenas is absolutely right, and not just in the case of Hispanic students. While it sounds cliche, it only takes one group to turn things around and really make a difference for the future. The Hispanic students on UK’s campus should be congratulated for this increase, but they shouldn’t be satisfied. Not only must this group continue to put in hard work, but UK must also continue to provide resources to help retain these students. Part of the reason the increase has occurred is because UK upgraded its black and white TV and seems to realize the importance of true diversity. If this steady rise continues and the necessary attention is paid to ensuring the success of Hispanic students, maybe those negative stereotypes Cardenas spoke of will become a thing of the past.
Parking situation lacks direction On April 5 after 7 p.m., a number of UK women's rugby players were ticketed for being parked adjacent to the rugby pitch located off Alumni Drive. When these ladies noticed their cars being ticketed they ran to save their trusty steeds from further financial harm. As they dropped their rugby balls for their car keys, the parking officer hurriedly keyed in a few more numbers just to get more tickets printed. My point in this argument is not to knock an employee for doing his or her job. My point is — what’s the point? What is the point of building more structures or delineating fields to specific interests if we all purchase parking permits at exorbitantly high prices and are then ticketed for parking well after business hours, adjacent to our pitch, in a poorly signed area, behind storage warehouses, and over 1/2 mile from campus proper. These tickets were marked “for parking on
grass.” Several cars were not on any grass but clearly on asphalt, and the others were hardly on what any botanist would classify as grass. Again, my beef is not solely with UK Parking and Transportation Services. Although the quickened pace of ticket writing after seeing the team alerted to their imminent woes was anything but encouraging. It is more to express frustration from a group over on-going petty use of authority. We just renewed those permits 5 days ago, often walk nearly a mile to get to our classrooms, living quarters, and offices and now face continuing ticketing when we work hard to represent the university in club athletics. Maybe we can sell hotdogs at our games to make money for the parking tickets? Oh wait, no one will come to watch if they have to park two miles away.

BRETT HATFIELD, Kernel cartoonist
Athlete’s death indicative of larger issue Matt James had overcome the adversity of being undersized to pursue his dream of playing college football. While attending St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, 17-year-old James hit a growth spurt, developing into a 6-foot-6, 290-pound offensive tackle. AUSTIN On his way to play football for Notre HILL Kernel Dame after graduacolumnist tion, James became the top recruit for new coach Brian Kelley and the Fighting Irish. Last week, James took off for his final Spring Break before college, heading down to Panama City, Fla., with some teammates. On Friday, his parents got together to celebrate his uncle’s 50th birthday. It was at the party they received a phone call, and the news their son had died. He was drunk, and according to witnesses, acting belligerent. He then walked onto the balcony, leaned over to shake his finger at people in the next room over when Jones fell five floors to his death. Described as “a gentle giant,” James’ dreams of playing football are now gone and his family is left to wonder “Why?” Spring Break has become a sport of its own as participants flock to various locations to compete in various forms of binge drinking. Such as the case of James, many of these participants are underage high school seniors and college underclassmen looking for debauchery without
parental supervision. No one goes to Panama City or Cancun, Mexico to sightsee for Spring Break, they go to party without a chaperone. Yes, cases like James and those not of legal drinking age might be questioned by those who are over 21, but the behaviors are all the same. In Panama City, James was one of two people killed in alcohol-related falls from hotel balconies this year. There were 483 arrests made for underage drinking, up from 114 last year. These trends continue as social norms like this are condoned. It is no secret when places like Panama City become crowded during Spring Break season. People are there to do one thing: drink. Alcohol tolerances are inflated during these drinking Olympics, giving no regard to heat conditions and sun exposure. According to a study conducted by the Journal of College Health, males were reported to have consumed an average of 18 drinks a day, while women were averaged at 10. For those who are fortunate enough not to take a tumble off a high rise, there is the possibility of alcohol-related heat stroke or poisoning, and dehydration. People are allowed travel go every year to kill their liver. Since this behavior has been allowed for so long, it is hard to just slam on the brakes and say, well now we think it is not a good idea. But really it is not. People are not allowed to drink openly in public year round in these destinations yet they are during selected weeks. Remind anyone of the social dangers of tailgating? The perception is created that this
type of behavior is fun when the results can be anything but. Yet, when something tragic like this occurs, people can’t seem to understand why this had to happen. The impression Spring Break gives is that breaking free from school to kill brain cells is a worthwhile practice. After all, that is what normal people do with a break from responsibility. But this mentality creates a doubleedged sword. With an idea like this sent in people’s minds as a good way to blow off steam, what do we think they’re going to do any other night of the week? Examples are falling around Keeneland every meet. Most victims of alcohol-related fatalities don’t intend on these things happening, most don’t mean to die and most don’t think it can happen to them. Every drinker thinks they can handle their liquor, but the truth is no one can control how liquor handles you. When someone is drunk, you cannot make it stop. The alcohol has you, and until it has run its course it won’t let go. People sleepwalk drunk, or in other related terms “blackout,” and in the blink of an eye you can be gone. Matt James’ story is unfortunate, and too often this happens to others individuals who don’t have scholarships to play football, or have their name in the paper. All of these stories add up to a continuing problem with alcohol abuse. Through social acceptance, the abuse will continue to trade dreams for nightmares and replace smiles with tears.

Opportunities, graduation right around corner Hey guys! First off, I would like to thank all those who came out and voted last week. Kelsey and I are honored to serve you all for another year, and are exRYAN cited to continue SMITH SG with the President plans we set forth at the beginning of our first term. With the help of the UK student body, we hope to continue to fight for you and your needs. But as you know, we can’t do it alone. Our executive board is essential to our success and in the next couple weeks we
will be putting out applications for the board. We have added several new positions and would like to have a great pool of applicants to choose from. Keep an eye on the Student Government Web site for applications. Next Tuesday UK students, staff and faculty are invited to take part in “UK Remembers.” The event is an annual ceremony dedicated to honor recently deceased students, staff and faculty. The event will take place on Tuesday, April 13 from 7 to 8 p.m. behind the UK Student Center. Attendees can park in the “E” lot next to the Student Center and Memorial coliseum for free after 6 pm. I know it’s still a sore subject and still fresh in our
minds, but we just wanted to congratulate our men’s and women’s basketball teams on a wonderful season. This was one of their best seasons for both teams in years and it was great to experience it with my fellow Wildcats. While the season was highly successful, that success brought many problems with our student ticket lottery and distribution. Here at Student Government we want to help better and simplify the student ticket distribution process. In the weeks to come, be on the look out for an all-student e-mail with proposed changes to the lottery. Please fill out the survey as soon as possible so we can get to work on making it easier and quicker for you to receive tickets to men’s
basketball games or any other events requiring a lottery. As we near the end of the semester I encourage you to stay focused. Seniors, you’re exactly a month away from graduation — the time you’ve been waiting for is almost here. For all other students, your summer break is right around the corner, just a few more weeks and you will be free to enjoy this great weather without the stress of classes. As always, if you have any concerns or ideas feel free to call, e-mail or even stop by the SG office. We’re here to serve you and our door is always open. Ryan Smith is a political science senior and SG President. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Louisville attack fuels 6-0 win over softball By Chandler Howard choward@kykernel.com
The UK-Louisville homeand-home softball series ended much like it began. The Cats and Cards squared off for the second half of their annual two-game series on Wednesday night. The buzz surrounding the match was evident even through the bouts of light rain that hit Ulmer Stadium throughout the evening. The final inning of the March match between the intrastate rivals seemed to have carried over to the opening portion of Wednesday’s late afternoon game. UK (22-16, 7-9 Southeastern Conference) found itself down early in the opening inning. Sophomore pitcher Rachel Riley could not find her mark from the circle. Riley allowed Louisville (25-12, 4-2 Big East Conference) to score five runs on seven hits. Louisville’s five runs were the most allowed by UK in the first inning of a game all season, and the second highest of any single inning. A Louisville record 1,134 fans didn’t make things any easier for Riley. “They came out swinging the bats right away,” UK head coach Rachel Lawson said. “The motivation they had from the crowd’s energy helped to power their already good hitting. It is always important to get your pitcher out of the first inning unscathed and we were unable to do that.”

Senior shortstop Molly Johnson goes for a ball in UK’s 6-0 loss to Louisville on Wednesday night at Ulmer Stadium. After the Cats could not produce any offense in the away half of the first inning, UK saw a pitching change take place in the second inning. Sophomore pitcher Chanda Bell entered to replace Riley. “After Chanda came in, we were able to settle in behind her,” Lawson said. “We did a better job defensively. Plus, she did a great job of shutting down most of their hitters, which was nice to see.” The next three innings showed little offense from either team. Bell and Louisville pitcher Tori Collins put on a show for the audience, allowing only four combined hits. Though the Cats struggled to find their stride at the plate in the top of the fifth inning, UK gave up one additional hit to Louisville, pushing the score to 6-0. This
would prevail as the final score following a solid defensive performance from both teams to close the game. Despite Bell playing the majority of the game, Riley received the pitching loss for the Cats. Her record now stands at 8-6 on the season. UK’s lackluster offense totaled three hits on the evening, a season low for the Cats. Senior shortstop Molly Johnson, senior second baseman Natalie Smith and sophomore third baseman Brittany Cervantes each went 1-for-3. “Louisville is such a great team with a lot of quality wins under their belt,” Lawson said. “Anytime players can play in front of a hometown crowd of this size, there is nothing more exciting for them. Now, we just need to look forward to this weekend and keep working how we have been.”
Huzzie tries to live up to LaGrange legacy By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
When Qua Huzzie arrived at LaGrange High School in LaGrange, Ga., he put a couple of local legends on notice. The audacious freshman told Braxton Kelley and Wesley Woodyard, who both went on to be All-Southeastern Conference linebackers at UK and NFL players, he was going to break their records. He made Huzzie good on that prediction, finishing as the all-time leading tackler in school history. So when he followed in their footsteps and signed with UK last year, he put them on notice again. “When I broke all their records in high school, we got into it again up here,” Huzzie said. “I told them I’m going to break all their records here and that’s what I’m working on right now.” Those plans were put on hold when he injured his shoulder last fall. At the time, coaches were counting on him to be a major contributor on special teams and
he was competing to back up senior linebacker Micah Johnson despite being a true freshman. Instead, he took a redshirt and hit the film room to learn as much as he could. Huzzie has had as much buzz surrounding him in spring practice as any player, but he’s still not guaranteed to slide into Johnson’s spot this fall. He’ll battle with juniorto-be Ronnie Sneed during the summer and into the fall. Sneed has been out for most of spring practice due to class conflicts, but will be right back in the mix when he returns to the field. Even though Huzzie didn’t get to play in 2009, he still gained a lot from his first year on campus. “To be honest, I’m pretty glad it worked out the way it did,” Huzzie said. “Now, I understand a lot of stuff I wouldn’t have understood last year and I think I’m going to make bigger plays than I would’ve made last year. And I’ve got all four years (of eligibility) left.” If Huzzie does win the starting job as a redshirt freshman, the linebacking corps will be even more green than expected. Juniorto-be Danny Trevathan is the
only returner from a group that lost Johnson as well as Sam Maxwell to graduation, and players like Sneed, senior-to-be Jacob Dufrene and sophomore-to-be Ridge Wilson played sparingly last year. After being mentored by two seniors last year, Trevathan has a very different role to look forward to now. “I think I did a good job of learning the ropes,” Trevathan said. “I think it’s more of me going out there and trying to be a leader, trying to be All-SEC.” Huzzie said he’s just pleased to have a chance to run with the first team defense even though he missed last season. Senior-to-be Derrick Locke said when he went up against Huzzie in scrimmages, he was surprised how hard he could hit. “This guy came in kind of banged up, but he gave me a nice little lick,” Locke said. “I’m not going to lie, I underestimated (Huzzie). Most people can’t have that mindset coming off an injury like ‘I’m going to play and I’m going to go hard.’ He’s coming in playing hard, showing that he’s going to play downhill and he’s going to bring it.”
