KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
IT creates Tech Tips for incoming students By Sarah Pickerel news@kykernel.com
Freshmen and new students at this summer’s orientation and merit weekend will be receiving a new document — one that will acquaint them with the technology systems at UK. Information Technology student employees created Tech Tips, a document that teaches skills like how to op-
erate link blue, how to change a UK e-mail address and password, and how to use Blackboard, according to the PDF document located on the IT website. Ashley Jackson, an IT intern who helped develop Tech Tips, said the document would be beneficial to incoming students. “Many times new students come to the university
and are overwhelmed by all of the new technology that is presented to them,” Jackson said. “The purpose of Tech Tips is to guide new students through UK’s technology and help them feel comfortable using them (the programs).” Jackson said the pamphlet is useful because it gives students direct access to answer their technology questions

without having to ask a lab worker or having to call a help desk. “The instant access to information that Tech Tips offers to students is actually something that I wish I had when I was a freshman at UK,” Jackson said. Bryce Robinson, an IT intern who also helped develop the document, said Tech Tips is the answer to student ques-
tions. “After analyzing the Customer Service Center’s list with the 25 top problems they get calls about, UKIT recognized the obvious need for Tech Tips,” Robinson said. “We want Tech Tips to be the one-stop brochure for incoming students on how to get all their IT needs met.” Jackson said she hopes Tech Tips makes incoming
students’ transition into UK a little less stressful. “… New students already have so much to deal with — new roommates, finding their way at a huge university, registering for classes, etc.,” Jackson said. “My hope is that Tech Tips will be so helpful, that it will make dealing with technology at See Tech Tips on page 6
THE GREAT CATSPYS
By Shelby Schott news@kykernel.com
Seven UK art graduate students will have their work featured at a local art gallery this week. “Sight Specific” is an exhibition featuring works where the students chose a theme to work with and later developed as a body of work based on that theme, according to a UK news release. The display began Monday at the Land of Tomorrow art gallery and goes through Friday. It is part of the Master of Fine Arts Studio group, according to the news release. Professor Joel Feldman teaches the Advanced Studio Project and said the second annual “Sight Specific” features work created with quality, effort and time. “The idea of the course essentially is for students to explore an idea that may relate or may not relate to their work,” Feldman said. “They’ve all done an excellent job.” The display is an ongoing series of spring exhibits done by these UK students, Feldman said. “The purpose is to get the students out of their comfort zone, to explore new things in ways they haven’t previously considered,” Feldman said. Benjamin Withers, chairman of the UK Art Department, said he enjoyed seeing the students work together and collaborate. Withers said the program raised the bar for the

Local author teaches tolerance By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
An author from the Lexington area hopes to teach people a message about sexual orientation with his new book. Author Frank Winchester has been a resident of Lexington for about 15 years and has had a family in Kentucky for generations. He has recently released the book “Fully Human,” which strives to remind people that every person has value, according to the Dorrance Publishing Co. website. Winchester has worked with UK on and off again since 1966 and got help with the book from UK Professor Alfred Kinsey. “Fully Human” describes intimate homosexual relationships among men in Cincinnati during the 20th century, according to the website. “I enjoy books and thought that I might have the ability to write one,” Winchester said. “I attended See Author on page 6

Every year the student body votes on a T-shirt design to be worn the following year, but this year not many students are participating in the voting. The UK Alumni Association established the Traditions T in 2007 to unite the student body, according to the competition website. Gretchen Bower, alumni program coordinator, is in charge of the Traditions T. Bower said the shirts are a way for students to get involved and to show their pride. “(Students) have a say in what the Traditions T will look like for next year,” Bower said. The Traditions T began as a way to have students show what it means to be a part of the UK community, she said. “It was started as a means to

Top-5 films of 2009-10 school year provide entertainment, break It’s closing time, ladies and gents. Summer is just around the corner so that means it’s time to take a look back at the movies we all went to see when we needed COLIN a break WELSH from Kernel studying. columnist I know Dead Week is fast approaching, but you have one more assignment and that is to catch any of the following if you haven’t already. Before I begin with my top-5 films, remember this list only includes films that were released during the fall and spring semesters — sorry, “Hurt Locker.”
5. “The Road” — Among a sea of terrible end-of-theworld movies that were released last year, this one shines like a diamond in the rough. “The Road” is a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning, bestselling novel about a father and son as they roam the desolate wastelands of a post-apocalyptic America. Utterly depressing and ultimately uplifting, “The Road” grabs the us as we hold on for dear life and shows us the best and worst of humanity. There is a good chance plenty of people overlooked this gem, so be on the lookout for it when it is released on DVD May 25th. 4. “Inglourious Basterds” — If anyone is allowed to rewrite the history of WWII it’s Quentin Tarantino. “Basterds” is a righteous, absurd, and hilari-

This film showcases Tarantino’s unrivaled ability to immerse the viewer in long stretches of dialogue and shock them with stuff that is just plain
awesome. “Inglorious Basterds” easily nabs the “coolest movie of the year” award. 3. “District 9” — A science fiction allegory about apartheid? Yep. South Africa’s
racial dilemma gets a face lift as millions of aliens get stranded on Earth and are forced into internment camps. Writer and director Neil Blomkamp stunned audiences with his original and thought provoking sci-fi epic that was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. And if Blomkamp’s aliens had landed earlier, before “The Hurt Locker” or “Avatar,” who knows, “District 9” could have been first sci-fi film to nab the honor since ET phoned it home back in 1982. 2. “Shutter Island” — This psychological thriller of the highest caliber proves that the Scorsese-DiCaprio formula can’t miss, and that movie goers still enjoy using their heads. U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) must unravel a mystery at a hospital for the criminally insane
while we unravel the mystery of Daniels. Many consider “Shutter Island” to be one of those movies you have to see twice to fully comprehend; however, you only have to see it once to enjoy it. 1. “Avatar” — If the visual grandeur and sheer scope of “Avatar” doesn’t make your jaw drop I bet this will — $2,717,023,267. That’s how much James Cameron’s colossal blue giant has raked in, and now people can start spending money on the DVD. “Avatar” is a terrific film modeled after a fairly common story, but in the end it is the impact of “Avatar” that makes it so important. Like Cameron’s giant sinking ship that came before it, “Avatar” is not just a film, but a cultural phenomenon. Colin Walsh is journalism and English junior. E-mail features@kykernel.com.

UK’s balanced offense exciting, entertaining, possibly effective By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Plenty of arguments exist as to whether or not baseball is an exciting sport. Ultimately, it’s a very personal decision based on a multitude of factors. UK’s brand of baseball seems to favor the side of being an exciting brand to watch. The Cats’ offense is diverse in their approach. They hit the long ball (ranking third in the Southeastern Conference with 53 home runs). They run and then run some more (leading the league in stolen bases with 75). They swing a lot and put balls in play (ranking second-to-last in walks drawn with 141). “It definitely has to do with our skill set,” said third baseman Andy Burns, who leads the team in home runs with 11. “Every guy has the potential to hit one out of the yard or steal a base late in the game.” That dual-threat nature of the lineup puts pressure on the opposing pitcher who has to worry about the guy in the batter’s box and the guy on the bases. “It messes with the pitchers, knowing that the guy on first can steal and the guy at the plate can hit a homer,” outfielder Keenan Wiley said. This type of offense was something UK set as a goal entering the season. “We expect a more exciting offense,” UK head coach Gary Henderson said before the season. “It will be more diversified, more power, more stolen bases, a much more competitive club offensively.” Without a shutdown starting pitcher — none of the three starters have a sub-5.00 ERA — the offense has had to consistently manufacture runs. It’s happened because of a balanced lineup. Six players have five or more

Sophomore third baseman Andy Burns leads the UK baseball team with 11 home runs. The Cats have 53 home runs as a team. home runs, and seven players have six or more stolen bases. “Every guy brings something to the table,” Burns said. “We have a lot of weapons. It’s a good thing to know you can have what it takes to win.” The offense hasn’t always had enough to win, though. UK is now 23-17 on the year with a 6-12 mark in the SEC. The Cats currently sit in a tie for ninth place with Tennessee, two wins behind Alabama for the final spot in the SEC Tournament. They have won just one conference series, against Alabama. Perhaps even more troubling is UK’s inability to drive all those runners home. UK ranks second-to-last in batting average with runners on base. But the hitters continue to just focus on what they can do, and that’s to score runs. “Our guys have been more relaxed at the plate these past few weeks,” Burns said. “Everyone in the lineup is doing something, so that takes pressure off everyone else. As a group, we’re just trying to have fun and score runs.”
Lance Ray heating up A big part of the offensive
surge lately has been Lance Ray’s productivity at the plate. Over the last five games, Ray has reached base safely in 15 of 22 plate appearances. That includes last weekend’s series at Auburn in which Ray headlined the offense in two of the three games. In the first game, a 13-6 loss, Ray ripped three doubles in four at-bats. In the third game, an 8-7 loss, Ray went 2-for-3, including a three-run home run in the sixth inning that tied the game. Ray didn’t see much playing time early in the year, but his recent hot streak has made it difficult to keep him out of the lineup. He is now hitting .362 with a robust .690 slugging percentage in 51 at-bats. “(I’m) very glad to see Lance Ray get some hits,” Henderson said following a recent game where Ray was the offensive star. Then Henderson checked to see where Ray’s average stood after his recent outburst at the plate. He saw how far it had risen. “Isn’t that something,” Henderson said simply. “How about that?”
Phillips should learn from scrimmage In the press box at Commonwealth Stadium during Saturday’s Blue/White Game, Penn State’s spring game was on TV. Standing in the right spot, you could see the score of Penn State’s Blue/White Game and the scoreboard at Commonwealth. The differences between the two Blue/White scrimmages were so many, it’s unreasonable to even JAMES PENNINGTON compare the two. UK’s version of the Kernel spring game finished with a columnist score of 60-25, a blowout win for the offense utilizing a convoluted scoring system “designed” to help give both sides an even chance of winning. UK head coach Joker Phillips said he initially planned on splitting the two sides into full squads — offense, defense and special teams — but because of injuries, enough players weren’t playing. So the teams split: one was offense, the other defense. Off they went with a scoring system unfit for any sort of school-sanctioned, open-and-advertised-tothe-public event. The offense was awarded every time it recorded a first down, whereas the defense was only rewarded if it forced a punt or a turnover. No points for sacks or tackles for losses. After the game, Phillips defended the system. He said it was fair, and the defense needed to see the score and take responsibility in
getting off the field. Those on the field didn’t agree. Said defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin: “A point every first down? What do you expect? That’s skewed. That made it look like we did nothing. We did something.” But the scoring system was just one issue Saturday. Overall interest in the Blue/White Game was low this year. It doesn’t look like it will get higher anytime soon, either. Reasons to be excited for football season were there Saturday. The backup tailbacks, Donald Russell and Jonathan George, were superb. Each of the three quarterbacks contending for the starting job looked strong enough to at least keep his name in contention. Assuming you weren’t one of the few who attended the game Saturday — the official attendance said 9,000 but it looked closer to 900 — this year’s game didn’t give any incentive to make the effort next year. UK’s game may never provide an atmosphere like Penn State’s, which had 55,000 in attendance at University Park this weekend. And nobody could’ve held off the severe weather that rolled in just minutes after the players left the field. But Phillips could have set up the game to be more competitive. Now he’s set up the season with much less anticipation than he could have. After all these years, I guess Joe Paterno knows what he’s doing. James Pennington is a journalism senior.

Elizabeth Street issues a matter of respect Elizabeth Street’s problems go beyond late-night parties and trash left on yards causing normal tensions between neighbors. It’s even about more than the crime occurring there, and the reputation that comes with it. Elizabeth Street’s problems all stem from one thing: people lacking respect for their community. When students ask for their neighbors — many have lived there for years and will live there long after we’ve received our degrees — to look past their parties and not be so quick to call police, that’s not fair. When those same neighbors don’t even bother getting to know the students because they believe they won’t be there longer than their one-year lease dictates, that’s not fair. When the area is known as one of the most dangerous around campus, with a track record of abductions and violence and yet the police still make busting parties a priority, like UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said in an April 20 Kernel article, that’s not fair. No place on or around campus where UK students don’t feel safe walking around at night should exist. And if it’s not safe for college students, how can the permanent residents consider it a safe place to raise a family? Most students and permanent residents in the Elizabeth Street area want the same thing: a safe place to sleep and be with friends at a reasonable cost. “It is unfortunate that the irresponsible behavior of a very small percentage of students give others a black eye,” Third District Councilwoman Diane Lawless said in the article. If that really is the case for those of you living on Elizabeth Street, then prove Lawless right. Show your neighbors that you care about the place in which you live, and that you’re willing to work to make it the kind of place you can be proud of. Lawless hasn’t always been the best friend of UK students when it comes to housing issues in the past, but it’s not as if students have always helped their own case. She makes a good point when she says it will take cooperation between students, permanent residents and police to make Elizabeth Street the kind of neighborhood it should be. “The neighbors would love to get to know the students better and have a good relationship with them.” Lawless said. “It is nice if they can go to the neighbors and introduce themselves and swap phone numbers, and let them know that they want to be a part of the neighborhood and if either have problems, the students or the other residents, they call each other.” But Elizabeth Street’s problem is still there. There’s still no respect for the community. And just as bad, the students and the permanent residents don’t respect each other. Until that changes, Elizabeth Street will be the same place it always has been.
Dance program nix unfair, unwise Anyone well-versed in the website collegehumor.com might recognize one familiar photo: it pictures the sign outside of Barker Hall, which lists that the building houses the campus Air Force ROTC, Army ROTC and dance studio. As iconic as that particular sign is to the thousands of students who pass it on a daily basis, it’s a shame that UK has cut the dance minor and dance certification programs, as of last November, for budgetary reasons. It’s one thing to say dance is not an educational priority because of low enrollment and lack of faculty, and therefore it must be cut. But to end the program abruptly and to take away the opportunity for other students to appreciate and participate in it goes beyond issues of cost. I don’t believe that lack of funding is an adequate reason for the sus-
pension of the dance program. I know several people who are involved with dance at UK, and I have attended UK Dance Ensemble concerts. Through those first-hand experiences, I can confidently say that support for the arts is necessary to maintain a diverse college culture. While I support UK’s decision to hire a new Kinesiology and Health Promotion faculty member, that was only made possible by the re-dispersion of funds once supporting the only full-time dance instructor prior to her retirement. That retirement shouldn’t mark the end of an entire program. UK needs to maintain and support its dance programs to stay within its top-20 goals. I realize financial resources remain tight, but to be competitive nationally the arts should be a priority. Shannon Frazer journalism senior

Players jump to NBA may not take fans The current Mount Rushmore of the NBA has new faces such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade and Kevin Durant. Some former Wildcats have a chance to etch their name in stone, but will their college fans care? I understand Lexingtonians do not have the same passion for professional hoops, AUSTIN despite their love for HILL the game, but I don’t Kernel understand how peocolumnist ple can truly ignore some of the best basketball ever played. That could possibly change. One part of me thinks the way people view the NBA will change as the ravenous collegiate fans of Kentucky basketball follow the recent draft entries. The other part thinks people will follow what is convenient, or visible, but no one new is going to be blowing my phone up for a spot in my NBA fantasy league. Most people who watch the NBA, if they do at all, watch during the playoffs. Since most projections have UK players going to teams that finished in the bottom of the league, it would be a surprise to see any of them in a playoff game next year. Another thing that donned on me recently was how fans already seem divided on having one-and-done players. Everyone is happy to have wins, but I believe a large number of people are already conflicted about how to support a team that may not come back the next year. But will they hold a grudge?
I remember when players like Derrick Anderson, Tony Delk and Ron Mercer went to the NBA. Despite the rock stardom here at UK, nobody here started watching the NBA in large because of their presence in the league. Now it’s the “freshman four,” and with the youth movement currently moving to the NBA, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins could make an immediate impact if they fall to the right teams. But fans here can still taste the victory that fell just short of their fingertips last season, and if the next class of Cats don’t have the same immediate impact, fans might blame their freshmen sweethearts for leaving them too early. Patrick Patterson seems to have everyone’s support, which is another reason the youngsters could catch backlash. Fans don’t know what it is like to get so awestruck over someone who is gone so quick. I dare say, Cousins could have gone down in history as one of the mostloved Cats, while Wall could have taken every record if he had stayed a full run. Fans already seem to disapprove of Daniel Orton leaving, so much so that he is kind of forgotten. He and Eric Bledsoe could be the type of players that if they develop, NBA fans would throw their weight behind them. The New Jersey Nets have the largest chance of receiving the first pick under the current NBA draft lottery system. This gives the Nets the potential to go from the outhouse to the penthouse overnight. The team has been anticipating a move to neighboring Brooklyn for the last few years and as the free agent summer of 2010. Over the last few years ownership dismantled the team, but has a large piggy bank to shop
with this summer. If they signed the right couple of big-name free agents and accompanied them with their stud big man Brook Lopez from Stanford, either Wall or Cousins would be another building block into making them an overnight contender for a championship. Other teams in the running include the Minnesota Timberwolves, the New York Knicks, the Washington Wizards, the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. All of these teams have pieces in place, that under the right leadership and teamwork, could make fan favorites visible. But would UK fans watch? Patterson could go to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Clippers or even the Detroit Pistons, who have former UK standout Tayshaun Prince. Joe Dumars, Pistons GM, loves former UK players on account of their defense, and Patterson would be a great fit in the Motor City. With all of the possibilities of places for UK players to land, that still doesn’t amount to Kentucky fans turning over to the pros. Even the people who don’t hold any grudges toward the players might just not be interested in more round ball. Complaints about their salaries should be squashed as politicians, doctors and CEO’s get inflated salaries and bonuses. I never met someone who stopped voting because of it, or talked to someone who stopped going to the bank on account of it. Time will tell if UK fans migrate to the NBA, but if it isn’t now then will they ever?? Austin Hill is an English senior. Email opinions@kykernel.com.
Petty parking situation needs improvement With our large campus, parking certainly needs to be regulated and appropriately funded for safety and fluidity. That said, I could not agree more with Kathleen Russell’s assessment JIM of some of DINGER the enforceGuest ment of columnist parking on campus in an April 8 Kernel article. Particularly resounding was her statement concerning the “frustration from a group over ongoing petty use of authority.” “Petty” is a key word. Last week I noted a metermaid ticketing a bicycle at the W.T. Young Library. All the bike-rack slots were filled, i.e. students were doing what they should come to the university to do — study. Several bicycles were locked to the hand rails of the seldom, if ever, used benches adjacent to the bike racks. The metermaid perused all the bicycles locked to the hand rails and proceeded to write a ticket to the only bike with a parking sticker on it. Ironic that the only bike she could ticket was the one adhering to the university’s request to license your bike. As a 29-year employee of UK, I ride not only a bicycle, but also a motorcycle on campus. This current year,
Parking and Transportation Services came up with the idea of replacing our cycle parking stickers with car hang tags in clear-plastic holders that we lock to our cycles or hang in our cars. This after 15 years of telling us to protect our hang tags so they could not be stolen. A pair of wire snips or scissors can simply cut the tags off our bikes to be used by the thief or to sell on the black market. Not one cyclist I know was asked for input on this policy. Why not let motorcycles park for free in designated green-line zones eliminating the exposed tag? They let us park our cycles for free anyway with a car tag. Recently, I drove to work and hung the parking pass on my rearview mirror with the cable and lock provided for the motorcycle. When I got to the car after work, there was a ticket on it for “parking without a permit.” The permit was easily read by someone standing in front of the car. The cable and the lock were showing to indicate it was a legitimate tag. What more do these petty people want? Fortunately I was able to take a picture, and the ticket appeal was successful. Last fall, I rode my motorcycle into a parking structure on a Monday where there has been designated motorcycle parking for years. The newly repainted lines were yellow, but the sign on the wall said “mo-
torcycle parking.” When I came out from work, there was a ticket on the bike. Rather than fighting it, I sent the check in that night. Several days later I rode the cycle into the structure to find about half the yellow lines painted over with green, and the motorcycle parking sign remaining. I took a chance and parked the cycle there. No ticket, and none since although half the yellow lines remain. In the past, I have been ticketed for my car tire allegedly touching the painted line in a parking slot. It was not true, but I didn’t have a camera to demonstrate that the tire was actually an eighth of an inch off the line, but the radial sidewall hung over the line in the air. Petty? I‘ve been ticketed in university vehicles for parking in UK construction areas when I had been specifically asked to come over to the property under construction to evaluate a situation. The vehicle didn’t have a construction sticker on it. Illegal? Yes. Petty? Yes. On two occasions, I have been ticketed for parking mid-evening in a loading dock zone while unloading equipment from home to the office so I could leave the office in the early morning for field work; this with back hatch open and flashers on. Illegal? Yes. Petty? Yes. UK professes engagement of the public, but the public pays a handsome price to attend evening seminars at the Young Library in the south lot
next to the library if spaces are available. PTS does not open the north lot until 7:30 p.m. when most public function are well underway. What kind of message are we sending the public? I’m just one example of this petty harassment and sometimes seemingly nonrational thought from PTS, and many colleagues have had similar experiences. I try to obey the parking regulations but sometimes have forgotten to hang the tag after a week’s vacation off-campus. They forgive one a year; whew. However, why are the metermaids not educated enough and given some discretionary powers to use common sense? Why doesn’t PTS solicit input from those that are affected when they define a major problem at a particular location or potential change in policy? The next thing you know, PTS will have all of us back into the parking spaces so they can read our hang tags without getting out of their trucks, thereby creating 1,000 fender benders and 30minute waits to park to allow the less skillful to back into the slots — oops. I shouldn’t have brought that idea up. Trucks? Why aren’t they walking or riding bicycles or electric carts to drastically reduce their enforcement costs?
