Former President Bill Clinton created the Clinton Global Initiative University in 2007.
Two UK students spent the weekend around the likes of celebrities Heather Graham, Mandy Moore and Pharrell, but it was not for a red carpet event. Instead, they were exchanging ideas and methods for social activism on a global level. Lindsay Griffith and Jill Thompson, both public administration graduate students in the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration, attended the
Clinton Global Initiative University in Miami over the weekend. The event is a meeting of students and university officials to discuss solutions for world issues. President Bill Clinton created it in 2007 to focus on five areas: education, environment and climate change, peace and human rights, poverty alleviation and public health. “It is basically a conference gathering social entrepreneurs who made a commitment to a social project,” Griffith said. Griffith and Thompson heard
about the conference through an email and decided to submit a proposal for consideration. Their idea to create a refugee mentoring program in Lexington was one of 1,000 proposals chosen out of 4,000. The two hope to have the program running by the next academic year. “I studied abroad in Germany, and I know Lindsay is interested in working internationally, so we wanted to work with an international issue but bring it to Lexington,” Thompson said. Past projects from the Clinton
Initiative include a program to introduce tennis to at-risk school children in post-Katrina New Orleans, a program to establish gardens for HIV-positive people in Rwanda and a program in Texas to teach the therapeutic art of origami to 1,000 hospital and health-faculty patients, focusing on children and Alzheimer’s patients. Griffith said the conference included other events such as panels on the future of the water supply and work sessions about grassroots See Clinton on page 6

A DIFFERENT GREEN Funding from golfer, PGA allows professional to teach UK students By Brandon Goodwin bgoodwin@kykernel.com
The unmistakable clunking sound of golf clubs making contact with gleaning white, dimpled golf balls repeats over and over. And over. And over. It is a sound Tennye Ohr has gotten used to throughout the years, having dedicated two and a half decades to the sport. As a PGA teaching professional, Ohr uses her talent and knowledge to hone the potential of students of all ages, and last year she began teaching UK students the tricks of the trade. Ohr did not originally set out to become a teacher. Her dreams pulled her to UK’s golf program in 1977. Afterwards, she planned on going to the PGA tour, but when that did not work out, she decided
to make the most out of her talents. That is when she began apprenticing in the world of the PGA tour. Beginning last spring, UK started a golfing class with funding from award-winning golfer and Kentucky native JB Holmes. He donated through the Ryder Cup, and the PGA matched the funds to pay for Ohr and her colleague Larry Ward to teach the classes. Ward, the head professional of Man O’ War Golf, has been in the golf profession for 15 years as general manager and head professional at various golf courses, but since 2002, teaching has taken up about 90 percent of his time. “The students are great,” Ward said. “Ninety-five percent of the time, the students take the class for all the right reasons. They recognize that most business transactions are done on the golf course.
“Most of what we are trying to accomplish is trying to get them to the golf course and to understand the rules of the game ... ” LARRY WARD head professional, Man O’ War Golf
They understand how valuable that’s going to be in their next career.” Some students who enroll have never even played before, Ward said, but the emphasis on the class is not necessarily on how well someone swings a club. “Most of what we are trying to accomplish is trying to get them to the golf course and to understand
Winter Olympics live on through UK exhibit By Katie Perkowski kperkowski@kykernel.com
The torch at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, may have gone out more than a month ago, but Tuesday, two members of the Lexington community will speak on their personal experiences with numerous Olympic games. Tom Hammond, a member of the UK Journalism Hall of Fame and sportscaster for the 2010 Olympics, and Jack P. Kelly, Olympic memorabilia collector who was the CEO of Olympic festivals in Houston and Minneapolis, will be at the Winter Olympic exhibit Tuesday to interact with the campus community. Kelly owns the Olympics exhibit currently on display in the Margaret I. King Library, and he will tell stories of the artifacts, which include an Olympic
torch, said Deirdre Scaggs, director of the Archives Department of Special Collections and Digital Programs. “I think that the 2002 torch that we have is really cool,” Scaggs said. Scaggs said Kelly had done other similar discussions like Tuesday’s in the past, so UK Libraries thought it would be a good opportunity for the campus community to hear firsthand Olympic experiences. “We are trying to do more things now that reach the student population and just the community in general to make ourselves more open and accessible to the public,” Scaggs said. Hammond will focus on his experience as a figure skating sportscaster at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Scaggs said. Hammond talks of his experiences on UK’s YouTube “In His Own Words”

the rules of the game and the etiquette that follows,” Ward said. “I heard about the class through a friend who took it last year,” said history senior Brian Davidson. “I had always played golf, but I thought this would be a good way to actually make myself come out and play.” Even with his experience as a golfer on his high school team, Davidson still learned some things from the pros. “Some of the ones that thought they were playing pretty well, we’ve had to make some adjustments to,” Ohr said. “While the beginners are learning from scratch. “Some have made big improvements. We cover a lot of full swing and the short game,” she said. “They all have succeeded in their own ways.”
A UK sorority had issues last year preventing it from officially being recognized on campus, but now the chapter will be making its mark this week. Delta Phi Mu, a Latina-inclusive sorority, will be sponsoring events all week that culminate in the Central Kentucky Heart Walk on Saturday. The UK chapter of Delta Phi Mu was officially formed on Feb. 23, 2008, but paperwork issues prevented the sorority from being official on campus. Now the five sisters are officially on campus. “We really want to get our name out there and (show) that we’re distinguished ladies where our first priority is to get to know other students,” said Cristy Anderson, a secondary English education sophomore and the chapter’s secretary. Monday’s Red Dress fashion show kicked off the week’s events, and Break for a Cause will wrap up the week on Friday, raising money for the Central Kentucky Heart Walk. DJ Warren Peace will be on the turntables, and the event will be from 8 to 10 p.m. at the Student Center patio. “For me personally the most important event would be Break for a Cause,” said Cynika Murphy, a psychology junior and vice president of the chapter. “ … Because it would be about uniting the student body.” The three tenets of Delta Phi Mu are scholarship, service and sisterhood. According to the chapter website, these three pillars address the discord between genders, races and cultures. Delta Phi Mu was originally founded at Purdue University on Aug. 21, 1991, and five chapters currently exist, with UK being the newest chartered chapter. “The events that we hold, we like to show what we were founded upon,” Anderson said. Power-based violence is an issue that Delta Phi Mu has focused on, See Sorority on page 6
Turkish student links UK, home By Kristin Martin news@kykernel.com
Supporting the blue and white is one thing most UK students have in common — including a student from Ankara, Turkey. Sarp Atan, a 22-year-old management and accounting senior, is not much different from the average UK student. Atan has lived in Lexington for about a year and is one of the 1,500 foreign students who attend UK. Turkey, a country located in Southwestern Asia, has a population of about 73 million. Atan said he once was asked if he lived in a tent while in Turkey. “The kind of differences you think there are (between America and Turkey), there aren’t,” he said. “We talk and walk the same, and hold a woman’s hand.” Atan said he attributes what

he calls America’s tendencies to stereotype other countries to a lack of education. He said schools in Turkey focus more on international education while America places more emphasis on domestic education. “If you’re not a history major, you don’t learn much (about other countries),” Atan said.

Lopez returns in ‘The Back-up Plan’ Two scenes stand out in "The Back-up Plan," Jennifer Lopez's long-overdue return to comedy after years of morose movie dramas, music videos and careful cultivation of her celebrityhood. There's a birth scene, a screaming, heaving, New Agey single-mothers group gathering as one of their number graphically brings a newborn into a world of drums, chants and comic chaos. And then there's Robert Klein, playing an ob-gyn trying to get the boyfriend-but-not-the-baby-daddy (Alex O'Loughlin) to grow up as he performs a pelvic exam on the artificially inseminated expectant mom (Lopez). "Vagina," Klein snaps. "Vagina vagina vagina vagina!" All around the periphery of this variation on a "Baby Mama" theme are funny best friends (Michaela Watkins, Anthony Anderson), cute dogs and zingers about the shock impending parenthood has on the woman who has planned it, and the boyfriend she was a little slow telling about it after they met. There isn't much chemistry between the leads. Lopez plays Zoe, a 30something pet store owner who has decided to go it alone when it comes to having a baby. O'Loughlin ("Whiteout," "Three Rivers") co-stars as Stan, the pushy-charming cheese merchant she keeps bumping into. "I'll give you a taste of my cheese ... Let me re-
phrase that." Director Alan Poul, a TV vet ("Big Love," "Swingtown"), commendably makes the most of what he has to work with. That would be Lopez — who is gorgeous, a little over-dressed for a Manhattan pet-store owner and properly comically nonplussed — and some of her supporting players plus the film's occasional can't-miss funny scene. But for all the profanity (quite a bit) and sexual sass, this CBS Films product plays even more like a TV movie than its debut project, "Extraordinary Measures." There's Linda Lavin (TV's "Alice") playing Zoe's granny and a feeble-looking Tom Bosley ("Happy Days") as granny's suitor. And TV writer Kate Angelo's tired "Becker" / "Bernie Mac Show" jokes and rhythms don't help. These problems aren't obvious when Lopez is interacting with critters or character actors. But O'Loughlin is the very definition of comic dead weight. Imagine making Greg Kinnear carry half of "Baby Mama," or sending Tina Fey out with Matthew Fox on "Date Night," and you'll get the picture. O'Loughlin has landed the lead in the "Hawaii FiveO" TV remake, so good for him. Then again, nobody fondly recalls the comic stylings of Jack Lord, do they? MCT
Summer temperatures have caused students to do one thing — strip down. Break out the tanning oil and flip flops because summer is here, or so it seems, with temperatures reaching above 80 degrees. Summer weather means busting out old bathing suits, but most importantly, buying new ones. After all, who wants to be restricted SHELISA to a few bathing suits? A MELENDEZ girl’s gotta have options. Kernel At this time of year, columnist postal workers are suddenly overloaded with mass amounts of Victoria’s Secret magazines filled with the latest and greatest in swimwear. However, before you go online to order that cute string bikini for the next pool party, you should find out if that suit indeed suits you. Just like jeans, a bathing suit is meant to flatter your body shape. Shopping for your body shape doesn’t mean the bathing suit is going to be ugly. Finding the right bathing suit for you is quick and simple. Large Bust: The first step in shopping for a large bust is being proud of what you’ve got. When shopping, avoid strapless tops. Despite it being a “supportive” top, don’t do it; it will be very unflattering and that is not the look we are trying to achieve. Instead, find a halter top
Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — Turn your attention away from work to encourage those closest to you. Mutual support gets everyone through a ticklish situation. A bit of caution is advised. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Your fondest wish is to finish work from yesterday. Fat chance! You're not in the office. Write down ideas and then let them go, and then go play. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5 — The work you do in private will be appreciated when you finally reveal the completed assignment. Others may worry about deadlines. Don't add to their concern. Cancer (June 22-July 22) —
with semi-thick straps for full support. Small Bust: Many of your large bust friends are probably jealous of the freedom you have when it’s time to shop for a bathing suit. Small bust women should search for push-up or padded tops which will create cleavage. Another flattering top is the popular bandeau (strapless), which compliments your small figure. Long torso: In order to distract the eye from your middle section, wear horizontal stripe patterns. Short torso: When shopping for a bathing suit, avoid the boyshort style, regardless of how cute you may find it to be. This will make your legs appear shorter. To elongate the appearance of your legs, wear vertical stripes or a bottom with a high cut on the thigh (example: string bikini). Plus size: Do not be the slightest of shy to show off your curves this summer. A V-neckline is very flattering to your shape. Also, stick to a dark/solid one piece bathing suit. Do not worry about looking frumpy in a one piece, there are many varieties of fashionable bathing suits that do not look anything like what your grandmother should be wearing — just avoid too much fabric. Although the temperatures have cooled, the warm air will return shortly as May approaches leaving nothing but you, your hot new bathing suit, and summer 2010.

UK head coach Joker Phillips said rising junior safety Winston Guy has the potential to be a big-time player for the Cats and he expects him to be one of their leaders on defense. Guy said he criticizes himself a lot, but his goal too is to become a defensive leader.
Spring practice strengthens squad By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
In the game of football, you can’t win if you don’t tackle. A simple fact UK head coach Joker Phillips realized all too well following his team’s scrimmage Saturday. “We’ve got to tackle, we just didn’t tackle on defense, which cost us getting off the field a few times,” Phillips said. “We rally to the ball and you miss a couple of tackles and now they’re back to a first down and still moving the chains.” Phillips said on one particular series, the defense forced the offense into a third-and-21 only to surrender the big play and undo all the work up until that point. Unlike the Cats’ offense anchored by experienced leaders, such as wide receiver Randall Cobb and tailback Derrick Locke, Phillips said not as many leaders have emerged on a youthful defensive corps as he would’ve liked. Phillips did note the lead-
ership abilities of linebacker Qua Huzzie and defensive linemen Mark Crawford, DeQuin Evans and Collins Ukwu this spring. Conspicuously missing from this list of defensive leaders was a member of the secondary. One potential candidate to emerge from a secondary that lost two key cogs to graduation in likely NFL draft pick and cornerback Trevard Lindley and safety Calvin Harrison, is junior-tobe Winston Guy, now in his second-year at free safety after converting from cornerback. “Winston (Guy) has a lot of potential, but potential means you haven’t done it yet,” Phillips said. “We think (Guy) could be a big-time player for us, and we expect Winston Guy to be one of our leaders on defense also because he’s been around here a long time.” The role of leader isn’t one that Guy wants to shy away from either. “It takes time to become a leader, it takes things you do on the field and off the field
to become a leader,” Guy said. “(But) that’s my goal, to become a leader for this defense. “I criticize myself a lot because I feel like the safeties are the last line of defense so I feel like that it’s my job to make that tackle because if I miss it there’s no one else to make that tackle,” Guy said. The key to making those tough open-field tackles lies in discipline and making sure you wrap opposing players up, not simply “tapping them on the butt,” said Guy. Joining Guy in the starting secondary will most likely be cornerback Randall Burden, who was pressed into a starting role in the fall when the secondary was depleted by injuries. Burden is yet another promising alumnus of LaGrange High School, the same high school that produced former UK defensive stalwarts Wesley Woodyard and Braxton Kelley. Aside from these two players, the competition is wide open for the remaining cornerback and safety positions.
Candidates for cornerback include sophomore-tobe Martavius Neloms, another player forced to see action earlier than anticipated in the fall, is benefiting from the unexpected reps. Also returning is senior-to-be Paul Warford, who was ahead of Burden on the depth chart at the beginning of last season. Meanwhile, junior college transfer safety Josh Gibbs has been making strides learning the playbook. Whoever fills the starting roles, Phillips knows the quality he wants in his leader. “We need someone that’s going to step up and be a guy that grabs them by the throat and gets them back in the huddle for us when things aren’t going good for us,” Phillips said. Guy has an opportunity to seize the moment. “I feel like this a big year for me, I’m just trying to stay focused, do the little things to help me become a better person because I want to be at the next level,” Guy said. “When that first game comes, I’m going to be ready.”
Cleats to fill: UK must replace starting pitcher Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
UK has already lost one starting pitcher this year. Now, temporarily at least, another pitcher is unavailable to take the mound. Sophomore Alex Meyer was diagnosed with mononucleosis and is out for three to four weeks, UK head coach Gary Henderson announced last Wednesday. “I feel really bad for Alex,” Henderson said in a news release. “He has really been making some good strides and is obviously getting better daily. This will only be a temporary setback for him.” Meyer, who was unavailable for comment, is 4-2 in eight starts with a 7.30 ERA, which is slightly inflated by two outings where he gave up five or more runs but didn’t last more than two innings. He leads the team and ranks fifth in the Southeastern Conference with 52 strikeouts in 40.2 innings pitched. Meyer’s absence is still a big blow to UK, who also lost projected starter James Paxton before the season. Now, the Cats will be sending at least two pitchers to the mound every SEC series who they wouldn’t have expected to before the season began. In his last outing before being diagnosed with the ill-

Sophomore pitcher Alex Meyer was diagnosed with mononucleosis and will miss three to four weeks on the mound. ness, Meyer showed his potential dominance, shutting out Alabama through the first five innings. Despite the loss of their usual Sunday starter, the Cats refuse to be beaten by adversity. “Meyer’s out, but the whole team knows we’re not going to moan and say bad stuff,” second baseman Chris Bisson said. “We won’t say this isn’t fun because we don’t have our Sunday starter.” UK is focusing on what it can gain rather than what it loses. “What this will do is provide an opportunity for some of our guys to step up and fill a vital role on our club,” Henderson said in the news release. Who will fill Meyer’s spot now becomes the obvi-
ous question. On Sunday, UK turned to freshman Walter Wijas, who threw 3.1 innings and gave up just one run while retiring the first 10 batters he faced. But while he filled in with a spot start this week, next week’s starter — and the three following that — have yet to be determined and may not be until any given Sunday morning, as was the case against Florida. UK could pull from one of many weekday starters — Jordan Cooper, Sam Kidd, Kyle Jackson and Sean Bouthilette have all started at least one game — or it could cobble together a string of relievers as it did Sunday. None of them have proven the ability to consistently go six or seven innings deep in a game, though.
“Sometimes kids surprise, but I’m not sure we have a guy with 18 outs (6 innings) in him right now,” Henderson said. “I think I’d rather just match it up and do the best we could.” There’s also the issue of whether to save anybody for Sunday or to go all-out on Friday and Saturday to try and pick up the wins and see what situation presents itself Sunday. “It’s going to be whatever happens,” said Henderson about whether Wijas was going to be the starter or if it would be a mix-and-match deal. “I don’t think at this point I would save anybody for Sunday. I think I try to win Friday and Saturday, do whatever we have to do, and then whatever we got left we do that.” If that’s the case, UK will need Logan Darnell and Taylor Rogers, its Friday and Saturday starters, to assume a heavier workload to ease the strain on the bullpen, which will presumably be seeing more action in each series finale. “We clearly have to be consistent with our starting pitching so our starters chew up at least six innings, especially with Alex out,” Henderson said. “Those two starting pitchers have got to pick up extra outs. We can’t afford to not have them get six or seven innings.”

Space program will propel UK to higher level It was one small step for man, one giant leap for Kentucky. With the hard work and ingenuity of a group of students and faculty from the UK Space Laboratory System, the Commonwealth has orbited into space by launching Frontier 1 on March 27. According to an April 13 Kernel article, the rocket was built entirely in Kentucky and launched into low orbit, about 167 miles above the Earth’s surface. When students think of UK, space exploration probably doesn’t come to mind. These students are set to change that mentality. “I don’t think most people know what goes on here,” said James Lumpp, associate professor and director of the UK Space Systems Laboratory. “I doubt that there’s another university in the U.S. or in the world that has as many missions going on as we do here.” While the program has been around since 2006, the successful missions and accomplishments this group has had are beginning to set them out among the crowd. Good thing, too. It can only be a boon to this university if it continues to support a diversified spectrum of academic studies. Students know they can come to UK to study English or biology. Now, instead of leaving the Commonwealth, prospective freshmen will be aware of the opportunities they have to study and get involved with missions in outer space. In November, the UK Space Science Laboratory and two other schools will take part in launching NASA’s first student-built satellites. With a high-powered transmitter and a camera, students and others will be able to interact with the satellite as it orbits in space. Hopefully, this program continues to grow and gain even more notoriety as it completes more successful missions. UK can only gain from supporting and contributing to the success of the UK Space Science Laboratory.

Campus not place for hate speech On the afternoon of Wednesday, April 7, tensions flared in the Free Speech Area near the Student Center as I had the honor and privilege in leading a student protest against hate-mongers who came to our beloved university to spread a message of hate and intolerance. VINCENT Fully intending to stroll to the Student PURCELL Guest Center and enjoy columnist lunch with friends, you might imagine my shock as I found myself harassed and insulted by these men who decided to come to my school and condemn me for who I am. I am a gay man. I am a very outspoken gay rights advocate on campus: I am on the executive board of the student-run OUTsource resource center, I am an active member of our Gay-Straight Alliance, and on top of that, I host a weekly radio show at WRFL focusing on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered issues. What I am not, however, is a person to lay dormant and listen to the hate speech and do nothing about it. I fully intend to take back our university from those who come here and try to force their intolerant and often outlandish hate on us. Yes, emotions ran high when the incident occurred, but we must respect the gravity of the situation we are deal-
ing with. The annual rate of suicide for young people who identify as LGBT is ridiculously high in this country. And at a place like UK where many of these people are coming to a progressive city such as Lexington, the last thing we need is hateful speech being espoused where we all congregate for lunch or walk from our dorms to class. This sort of harassment leads to emotional damage to people already at a vulnerable moment in their lives. I am part of a group of people staging protests in an effort to block out the hate speech. One of the primary objectives of the UK Gay-Straight Alliance and OUTsource is to provide a space and a group accepting — no matter someone’s identity. We are here to foster the development and exploration of self-identity. Knowing how stressful of a time college is and how important it is to finally live in a place where one can explore their own identity, we want to make very clear there are advocates fighting for LGBT equality. And while these hate preachers may come from off campus to speak their message, we are here fighting against them, because UK does not condone hate or discrimination or belittling of its students in any form, ever. I took part in a group that caused our local celebrity, “Brother Rick,” to leave campus last November — he had a hard time justifying the names we called out who were murdered because
of the hateful sentiment he came to our school to preach. But the men who were here on Wednesday are professionals. We all remember the Matthew Shepard murder in 1998, and the backlash from the group led by Fred Phelps known as the Westboro Baptist Church (you may know this group as the people who in recent years staged protests at fallen U.S. soldiers’ funerals). The folks who visited our campus that day are of the same variety: they will stop at nothing to garnish as much press and visibility as they can to spread their message of intolerance, injustice and hate to those different from them. While the free speech zone is open for anyone to come and share their mind, it first and foremost belongs to the students. We cannot stop these outside people from coming and yelling at us between classes, but we can drown them out with our message of love and acceptance. They might have every right to be out there, but I give you my personal promise that I will not stop being an advocate for all students on campus. I will not stop until my university is free and clear from those who choose to spread hate speech that is damaging to my fellow students. This is our university, and this is our fight. Will you join me? Vincent Purcell is a mathematics sophomore. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.
LETTERS TO EDITOR
Evangelists could learn from students Recently, I was walking past the Free Speech Area when I encountered the evangelistic preachers providing a sermon to the students walking by. As a political science student, I often find myself unable to ignore situations where political freedom can clash with common ideals, so I stayed to watch. The man wore a shirt saying “Jesus Saves From Hell,” something that was not ultraconfrontational, but straight forward nonetheless. However, it was the signs held by his followers, such as “God Hates Fags,” that seemed to be drawing the largest crowd. The man quoted passages of how hell is for homosexuals, fornicators and sinners, and to repent is the only way to save yourself from hell. It was at this point between the heated debate of the evangelist and students that I saw members from the OUTsource calmly step outside the Student Center with signs, both already made and hastily scribbled on a large pad of paper. They proceeded to set up a very simple table about 10 feet in front of the preacher on
which they placed information about resources for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual community and their supporters, as well as free condoms. Then one student held up a newly written sign saying, “LOVE saves from hell.” A simple statement, but profound nonetheless. In a few simple actions, three to four students were able to diffuse what was becoming a one-sided demoralization of individuals. By saying nothing, but providing a clear message of acceptance, these students stood in front of judgment and opened up the opportunity for even discussion. Despite the fact that they have yet to complete their collegiate degrees, these students were able to do something that the adults behind them were unable to: accept those for how they stand and not for how they believe they should be. Perhaps these students should be the ones providing the education. Annie Hughes political science sophomore
Dual ideologies strengthen system Adam French presented a thoughtful account of conservatism in his March 30 column. I offer a response. I, too, count myself conservative for my view that America’s liberal tradition requires constant vigilance for its preservation. I believe America’s greatest contribution to the history of humanity consists of institutions and forms of government that preserve the basic freedoms of its citizens far more effectively than known alternatives. But those freedoms face renewed attacks both from the left, who consider America’s traditions too individualistic, and from the right, who believe those freedoms undermine traditional hierarchies. Both sets of critics judge liberal traditions correctly. Liberal democracy flourishes only by default of other political schemes. That leaves the course available to conservative
liberals such as myself to remind my fellow citizens of the great triumphs of liberal democracy in the world, to the point that it has become a model for many other nations. But liberal freedom cannot include the conditions where America’s citizens die because of inability to purchase needed health care. I believe in a personal freedom to end one’s own life, but dying for lack of health care does not provide that freedom. A person’s freedom does not relieve them of the moral obligation to assist, where possible, their fellows who suffer against their will. In a huge and complex society such as America today, some of that suffering requires collective action for its effective reduction. Historically, liberalism has drawn criticism for its enshrinement of the independence of secu-

CLINTON Continued from page 1 organization, using social media and poverty alleviation. Griffith said her experience at the conference allowed her to connect with college students on a whole new level. “I think it’s important for students to be exposed to
SORORITY Continued from page 1 and Wednesday there will be a Delta Phi Mu-sponsored self-defense class in which Krav Maga will teach an Israeli self-defense technique. The event will be held in room 249 of the Student Center from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Anderson said one of the goals of the chapter is to address all women on campus and to not exclude anyone. “That’s why we’re an inclusive sorority,” she said. On Thursday, the Inner Beauty and Self-Esteem Workshop will be held in room 206 of the Student Center at 7:35 p.m.
OLYMPICS Continued from page 1 video. “When I started out, I didn’t really know much about it [figure skating],” Hammond said in the video. Hammond said no other sport takes more pressure than Olympic figure skating, particularly ladies’. “And I’ve seen the pressure get to some of the best skaters in the world,” he said. Hammond said when it comes to the pinnacle of broadcasters’ careers, the Olympics is one of the top events to cover. “The Olympics have to be right there, because it is something that the whole world takes notice of, it’s not just something that occurs on a weekend or in some college campus,” Hammond said. “The whole
more than just campus,” she said. “We were with students from Dubai, Hong Kong, Switzerland … It was really enlightening. We heard from people who had been through the earthquake in Haiti and it’s crucial as college students to have those experiences.” The discussions of the devastation in Haiti particularly moved Thompson, and she said becoming involved in a social issue, whether in-

ternational or local, is vital. “I learned more about the impact on Haiti, I think President Clinton said it would have been like the U.S. losing eight million of our people, so that affected me,” she said. “I think it’s important to be aware and involved, not only internationally, but in your own community and for (students) to understand they can make a difference, no matter how small.”
TURKEY Continued from page 1 movies create stereotypes sometimes reigning in people’s minds about foreign countries. “I think of small villages and farmland rather than big cities,” said Morgan Wade, an agricultural senior. Bengu said most international students, particularly those from big cities, adjust well to American culture because it is not entirely different from their own. She said three main differences most foreign students must adjust to are transportation, food and relational differences with American students. Atan and Bengu said people in Turkey grow up with a stronger American influence than most Americans realize. Atan said people in Turkey see the same movies and TV shows, and he even learned English before Turkish. However, he said cultural differences do exist. Atan said where he lived in Turkey, pen and paper was used most often for learning, versus the online emphasis in the U.S. Atan also said hearing a person voice an opinion in Turkey is rare but is pushed in America, and college students in Turkey typically live with their parents and do not have jobs. Atan, although enjoying his time at UK, said being away from his family is difficult. “That’s my home,” he said. “If anyone gets a chance, you have to go to Turkey ... (Ankara is) a little America.”
