CELEBRATING 39 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Todd touches on future in last address By Gary Hermann news@kykernel.com
President Lee Todd delivered his final State of the University Address on Thursday morning. The address came a little over of week after Todd announced his decision to retire in June. Student Government President Ryan Smith also
addressed campus. Smith said SG will, “Remain dedicated to Dr. Todd’s vision to attract the best and brightest in this state and region,” and will, “continue his mission of recruiting.” Smith also spoke about the growth of the Leadership Development Program, the success of Tally Cats and the new student-driver program focused on student safety.
“All of these good deeds are a fraction compared to the accomplishments of Dr. Todd,” Smith said. Todd was not shy about criticizing state leaders whose budget cuts have stalled the Top 20 Initiative. “I am embarrassed we wrote the Top 20 Plan, got the funding, got a top-five provost, got deans that could be at Top 20 schools and

can’t give them a raise,” Todd said. UK has been able to increase enrollment during hard economic times, Todd said. “Our budget is up $6 million and students up 4,000," Todd said. "I’d like to see the state government be that efficient.” The deans received high praise. “With this set of deans,
this place is going to go forward,” Todd said. “They keep us going [despite] nine budget cuts in nine years.” Todd said the address was not a farewell speech, but said he will remain busy over the next nine months and wants to visit each college at UK before his retirement. Todd said he wants UK to stay on course with its current
plan and believes in the plan he wrote nine years ago. “Some say, ‘Wave the white flag on Top 20,'" Todd said. "That would be a mistake.” UK’s standing in rankings like the U.S. News and World Report was an important topic. Todd said UK is “not about stats and rankings, but about bringing change in the See TODD on page 2
THE PLACE TO BE
By Patrick Sullivan news@kykernel.com
High school students in eastern and southern Kentucky will have a new opportunity to attend UK on scholarship. UK is the latest Kentucky college or university to offer scholarships to graduates of The Center for Rural Development’s Rogers Scholars youth leadership program—a program that emphasizes the development of technological skills and builds in participants a sense of leadership, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a commitment to rural Kentucky. The announcement makes UK one of 15 schools to offer the scholarships for the program’s graduate. The program aims to keep students in Kentucky and lead their communities after college. “There is a huge issue of the out-migration of the region’s best and brightest,” president and CEO of The Center for Rural Development Lonnie Lawson said. “Students will leave and never come back.” Founded in 1998, the Rogers Scholars program has graduated more than 700 students. To get into the program, students apply during their sophomore year in high school, and those selected through a competitive process attend the program during the summer before their junior year. The program is held in Somerset and the surrounding area, with most events taking place at The Center. Students are housed at a local hotel, and all lodging, meals and program expenses are free. “It’s very intense for just a week,” Michael Cornett, director of marketing and public relations for The Center said. During the week, scholars are able to participate in majors in video production, information technology, and engineering. “These students are some of the best and brightSee SCHOLARSHIP on page 2

Latino Festival returns to Ky By Alex Ruf news@kykernel.com
This weekend the 8th annual “Festival Latino de Lexington” takes place at the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza located in downtown Lexington. This year’s Festival Latino de Lexington will be free to the public and feature traditional cuisine, dance, art crafts , live music, and a “Carnival” Parade. “Under the current government’s budget situation this event would not be possible without businesses and sponsors funding the event,” Alana Insko, special events director of Parks and Recreation, said. Each day has a different theme. Friday’s theme is Carribean and festivities will feature free dance lessons, similar to the salsa dancing lessons at the Martin Luther King Cultural Center. “The highlight of the weekend is the Carnival Parade” Irene Jarmin, the director of this year’s festival. said. Saturday will be focused more on Latin America, particularly Brazil. The parade echoes the traditional Brazilian Carnival and will feature floats andperformers from different countries.

When students are on campus, the whole world can now know. UK is now connected to Facebook Places, a new application that allows users to easily share where and what they’re doing, as well as the friends they’re doing the activity with. Places users can find friends using the application who are in their same area. According to Facebook, users
can check in and the update will appear on the Place page, friends’ news feed and users’ wall. “Our students live on Facebook, we know that,” said Bozeman. “Students ‘checking in’ at various events and locations on campus also allows their friends at home to see what is going on at UK and may peak their interest in attending our university.” “College students are immersed in technology – using it to interact, connect, learn
and share their ‘see blue.’ experience,” said UK President Lee Todd, Jr. “Actually, it’s pretty awesome,” mathematics freshman Timmy McNiff said. “If I’m in Whitehall and a friend is here, after class we can meet up.” While McNiff finds it useful, others see Facebook Places as a double-edged sword. “If you’re trying to avoid somebody, this new app makes it harder to do so,” secondary education fresh-
man Jeffrey Barnett said. Although Barnett worried about the application’s privacy, Bozeman said there is nothing to fret over. “There is a micro web to talk about privacy issues and share the right way to use the website,” she said. The address for the site is uky.edu/facebook. To encourage its use, seeblue.com-branded “Places” icons are featured See FACEBOOK on page 2
Moon Festival shines light on China By Zach Walton news@kykernel.com
The Chinese knew how to party during autumn with the moon, nature’s disco ball. Students will have a chance to experience Chinese culture on Saturday, September 18 with the Moon Festi-
val at the Moondance at Midnight Amphitheater. The event is sponsored by The Kentucky Chinese American Association (KYCAA) and the UK Confucius Institute. The Moon Festival will give students an opportunity to participate in a long running Chinese celebration while enjoying moon cakes,
traditional song and dance, and learning a little about Chinese culture as well. “The Moon Festival, also known as the mid-autumn festival, is one of the most important holidays celebrated by Chinese people around the world,”president of KYCAA Changzheng Wang said. “The holiday probably originated
from the harvest celebration farmers had at the end of the summer. Family members will travel very far to be together for this special occasion. For those who cannot be together for one reason or another, they can take comfort in eating the moon cake, gazing at the See MOON on page 2

For the live entertainment, the Moon Festival has booked some great talent that is sure to please. The well-known dance artist, Cheryle Pan, is directing the choreography at the event. She has been called the “Woman of a 1,000 dances, Wang said. “The festival will be a good opportunity for people to see some very beautiful dances choreographed by her,” Wang said. “Visitors may also get a chance to learn some dance moves from the artist that day.” Students will be able to learn about the background of the festival and some key Chinese phrases that may
foster an interest in the language. “Many of the cultural displays will help people to understand the festival. Students attending the event will be able to interact with people and experience the excitement people have for the festival,” Wang said. “There will also be miniChinese lessons offered onsite. Students may pick up some Chinese sentences they may find useful if they ever end up in China some day.” The moon will be out to party with the best of them Saturday night. “Come join us and celebrate a great cultural tradition,” Wang said.

state." Todd said he sees UK as a school of opportunity that has a duty to serve Kentucky’s rural and inner-city citizens. Todd praised UK’s progress on diversity. “I can see Patterson Plaza from my office and it’s wonderful when classes change,” Todd said. “It’s a visual view of diversity, and I’m proud of that accomplishment.” He also praised the completed first part of Chandler Hospital’s massive expansion, UK being named the official Health Services Provider for the World Equestrian Games and the College of Agriculture’s work with the games from the beginning. The school’s “War on Attrition,” led by Provost Kumble Subbaswammy, has also been a huge success, Todd said. He singled out the individual accomplishments in the UK family. UK alumnus Bub Asman was in attendance. He won the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing for the film "Letters from Iwo Jima" and has worked on other films such as "Mystic River," "Million Dollar Baby" and "Gran Torino."

Ben Affleck set for awards Ben Affleck’s “The Town” should earn him an Oscar hat trick: nominations for best director, writer and actor. Such praise is well deserved for “The Town.” The town is Charlestown, a Boston neighborhood that’s produced multiple generations of bank and armoredcar robbers. Larceny skills are passed down the way most people share family heirlooms. Doug MacRay (Affleck) wants out after he falls for a hostage from a previous robbery. He thinks he’s found a way to financially escape through a huge heist he’s being forced to commit. That Affleck has such a
sharp directing style is no surprise. He showed skill handling the criminal and personal sides of a complicated story in his 2007 release “Gone Baby Gone.” There’s no sign Affleck lost focus by also playing the lead role. His work as director and actor are equally keen. Affleck’s acting efforts are magnified by a standout supporting cast topped by Jeremy Renner as Doug’s best friend and criminal partner. Renner has a talent for creating characters who appear to live in the dark space between sanity and insanity, and this performance is razor sharp. The surprise is Blake
Lively as Doug’s occasional love interest drugged-out single mom Krista Coughlin. Lively, who is so closely associated with the high fashion, high society CW series “Gossip Girl,” transforms herself. Pulling off the role was pivotal to the structure of the film. Good movies are the result of great directing decisions. Great movies come from making decisions no one else will make. Affleck shows with “The Town” how he’s turned a lot of tough decisions into one of the best films of the year.

Last year they dressed in tradi-

They grow up hearing about UK.”

Boston conference offers inside look at future of Fair Trade The world marketplace lacks traceability, transparency and accountability, and the consumer is partially to blame. Last Friday, I flew to Boston CASSIDY for an asHERRINGTON sembly of 750 Kernel supportcolumnist ers of the global, economic, humanitarian and social movement, Fair Trade. I was thrilled to be in the company of vibrant, passionate leaders who share the same interest in the welfare of suppliers in other countries. However, I left Lexington in search of
truth surrounding Fair Trade, its promises and if they followed through. Fair Trade is not a new concept but requires general explaining. Simplified, Fair Trade seeks to provide fair, premium wages to artisans and farmers in impoverished nations, so they can have a sustainable income to support themselves. The Fair Trade Futures Conference in Boston corralled producers, students, activists and business-owners from around the world into a three-day discussion. I spoke with coffee producers from Peru, Mexico and Nicaragua, and I listened to how Fair Trade impacted their lives. One producer, Rigoberto Contrero Diaz, represents a coffee farm in Chiapas, Mexico with 800 workers.
He said before Fair Trade certification, he was unable to market the coffee. “Our problem was, we didn’t know how,” Diaz said. “We just knew how to produce it.” Because of this, as is the case with many coffee
“He saw us as inexperienced in how we did our business and instead of supporting our cooperatives, they wanted to shut us down,” Diaz said. “He did not know the life of the producer, he was just trying to make a profit.”
“Business strategies” was a frequent theme of the sessions — and amidst the splendor of chocolates, olive oil, scarves and jewelry, I felt that the hands that created them were not the loudest voices presented. producers, middlemen or “coyotes” got involved and took advantage. In Diaz’s case, it was a Swiss agronomist who knew little about the culture or the dignity of the workers.
In 1999, Diaz’s farm became a Fair Trade cooperative and is still supplying coffee beans to coffee shops abroad, including Kentucky. Although life is im-
proving for coffee producers, Diaz said, “there is still a long way to go.” This was apparent to me for the duration of the conference. The divide between global north and south pervaded, even in this forward-thinking meeting of like-minded people. Business owners (even Fair Trade) in the United States are losing sight of why the movement was created — the producers. “Business strategies” was a frequent theme of the sessions — and amidst the splendor of chocolates, olive oil, scarves and jewelry, I felt that the hands that created them were not the loudest voices presented. The hope therein lies in the next generation, us. The college students. Fair
Trade is a business model that has potential to change lives. I heard a producer from India talk about textiles in Calcutta and how Fair Trade ensures education for children in his community. A Kenyan woman talked about Fair Trade providing opportunities for women and a subsequent increase in women attending schools and universities. This is the future, and the key is showing the consumer where products originate. The consumer and the company must be held accountable, and social progress in the global community will certainly follow. Cassidy Herrington is a journalism and international studies junior.

Judo brings masters to UK By Rachel Sarnovsky sports@kykernel.com
Getting help from the masters can improve your performance in any sport. For the judo team, this concept became a reality. Robert Burge has been doing judo for eight years. “I was looking for something to do, some type of martial arts,” Burge said. “I saw the judo club practice by accident and the thing I liked about judo is that it’s authentic because these people were really fighting. There was this camaraderie between them, I couldn’t understand how they had just fought so vehemently against each other but they were such good friends.” Judo is a sport that requires technique and physical strength alike. According to
Burge, judo includes high-intensity workouts and helps the body develop harmoniously while adding agility. For the past two summers, Japanese judo masters have come to Lexington and shared their knowledge with the team. “A few weeks ago we had the Japanese Masters Judo Association, which is a traveling team of older men, visit us,” Burge said. “They came here for a clinic all the way from Japan. These guys were in their 70s and 80s and they were all healthy, very strong and could compete with college-aged athletes and they could win.” President Alex Mohn also reminisced on the time spent with the judo masters. “These guys are the absolute highest rank and they came here to give us demon-
strations and teach us what they know,” Mohn said. Burge described prearranged, choreographed techniques that are done to demonstrate the principles behind each technique as kata. “Each person in this traveling team demonstrated their favorite technique to the group, and they also did the judo kata,” Burge said. “For example, there is one called Nage no Kata, which in Japanese means ‘the standing.’ He takes 15 of the 67 standing techniques and demonstrates those just to show what the principle is behind each one.” Burge acknowledged the temperament the Japanese masters brought to Lexington. “Their spirit and the fact that they would spend the time
and money to come all the way here just to share judo with a small group of people, it was very generous,” Burge said. Mohn recognized the impact judo had on his life. “I love it. It’s a ton of fun and great exercise. It also made me realize I never want to get into a real fight,” he said. Burge said judo taught him to be a better person. “It does change your character, and that’s really the goal of judo,” Burge said. “It’s a philosophy that you can apply to your life, it’s not just a sport. It’s this idea of mutual welfare and benefit so that a judoka (one who practices judo) should be an individual who is ultimately useful to society. They should be healthy, intelligent, strong and have good character.”
Waller is the only returning starter in the Akron secondary, which was the strength of the defense last season. At 5-foot-8 and 165 pounds, he'll have a handful with whoever he lines up against. Even Cobb, one of UK's smallest receivers, has a 20-pound advantage on him, and he's a handful for even the most physical of corners. If the Zips decide to use Waller elsewhere, his matchup problems won't get any better. Chris Matthews, La'Rod King and Matt Roark, who have also been a big part of UK's passing game this season, are all 6foot-4 or taller. Edge: Major edge for UK Nate Burney and Alex Allen vs. UK's rushing defense Burney and Allen have combined for 288 yards in
Akron's first two games, and the Cats showed last week that the rushing defense still needs to be finely tuned. Defensive coordinator Steve Brown said the rushing defense showed improvement last week, but a couple mistakes resulted in some long runs. Here's guessing those small mistakes will be resolved by the time Saturday rolls around. Edge: Major edge for UK Patrick Nicely vs. Commonwealth Stadium Nicely started most of his freshman season for the Zips, but didn't play the first four games. He's only started two games against opponents from BCS conferences – both of those contests were losses to Syracuse. Commonwealth Stadium's crowd of 65,000 will likely be the biggest crowd he's ever played in front of. He's also playing in his third game using a new offensive system that he still isn't comfortable in it. Look for UK's coaches to use this game to prepare some younger players who haven’t played much for action later this season. Edge: Major edge for UK The Final Edge: Maximum edge in favor of UK
