Fraternities to raise GPA standards By Kate Carpenter news@kykernel.com
In an effort to promote scholarship in the Greek system, the organizational GPA of fraternities is being raised to a 3.0. “We are trying to hold Greek men to a higher standard,” UK Interfraternity Council President Kelsie Willett said. “It will bring more legitimacy to our community, and it is something that has needed to happen for a long time.”
Keith Ellis, assistant director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at UK and a fraternity adviser, said the change was approved on Nov. 8, after a vote. “From an adviser’s perspective, I am proud of the guys for challenging themselves and setting the expectation for membership to be improved,” Ellis said. The change to the minimum organizational GPA will be gradual. By the end of fall 2010, fraternities must reach the all-male aver-
age GPA, which is currently a 2.88. By the spring of 2011, fraternities must have a 2.9 GPA. By the fall of 2011, fraternities must have a 2.95. And then by the spring of 2012, all fraternities must have an organizational GPA of a 3.0. In addition to those requirements, a man preparing to join a fraternity must have a high school GPA of a 2.8 before rushing. “However, for chapters that make continuous improvement, we will give you more time,” Willett said.
Football focus is seventh win, not UT streak
Dave Lowe, the Interfraternity Council vice president and member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, proposed the change. Lowe said the first semester a fraternity does not fulfill the requirement, it must meet with Ellis and the national fraternity adviser. The second semester, the fraternity loses its Interfraternity vote and is under social probation. The third semester, the fraSee FRATERNITIES on page 4
SORRY SOONERS
By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
A new sign was on the door to the Wildcat Den in Commonwealth Stadium before UK’s weekly Monday morning news conference. It was fairly self-explanatory: “Beat Tennessee.” However, defeating Tennessee (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) is something that the Cats (6-5, 2-5 SEC) haven’t been able to do since 1984, when UK head Joker Phillips played for the Cats and before any players on the current roster were even born. Since that year, the Volunteers have won 25 straight against their border rivals to the North. “You can’t say it’s just another game for either party ... It’s a big game for both parties involved,” Phillips said. “We’ve got a chance to be 7-5, they’ve got a chance to be bowl eligible. So it’s a big game.” Still, Phillips downplayed the importance of ending the streak in a season when UK has already ended lengthy losing streaks, namely a 10-game losing streak to South Carolina and a 17-game losing streak to Steve Spurrier-coached teams. “It’s the big one because it’s the next one, I mean it’s as simple as that,” Phillips said. “We have stopped a couple (streaks) this year, and this is the biggest one now, because it’s the next one. And that’s how we’re approaching it.” The one player most people would have assumed to be most visibly passionate about Saturday’s game was junior wide receiver Randall Cobb, a native of Alcoa, Tenn., which is nearby Knoxville. Regardless of Cobb’s decision to potentially leave for the NFL following this season, this game will be special because it will be his last time playing in Neyland Stadium in front of family and friends in a UK jersey. Cobb was displaying his best poker face on Monday and was carefully keeping his emotions in check, calling the matchup with Tennessee “just another game.” “We can’t make it bigger than what it really is, otherwise you’ll just think too much and won’t play as good as you can,” Cobb said. “I’ve got a lot of emotion right now, but I can’t show it right now. I can’t let my teammates see me too emotional, then they’ll get See FOOTBALL on page 4

UK beats Oklahoma 76-64 behind Jones’ 29 By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Terrence Jones’ game thrives overseas as well. In the first round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational, Jones provided all the tropic beauty UK needed to beat Oklahoma 76-64. The freshman posted another monster stat line, recording 29 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and four blocks to push UK (3-0) past the Sooners (3-1). For Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel, who recruited Jones out of high school, it was a sight he knew he might see.
“I thought Terrence Jones was the best player in the country,” Capel said. “I didn’t see anyone who could have had an impact on a game like he could. He certainly did that today.” UK head coach John Calipari took a slightly more understated approach in assessing Jones’ performance, who tied for the second-most points by a freshman in UK history with his 29. “He’s all right,” Calipari said, leaving the words hanging as everyone waited for him to elaborate. It didn’t come immediately, but a few questions later Calipari added: “Today he was terrific.”
UK didn’t receive major contributions from many of the players Calipari was hoping to see turn in solid performances. Junior Darius Miller scored five points, and centers Josh Harrelson and Eloy Vargas combined for four points and seven rebounds. Still, Brandon Knight scored 13 points, DeAndre Liggins scored 12 points and added five rebounds, and Doron Lamb sparked the Cats with 10 firsthalf points off the bench. UK shot 50 percent from the floor as a team. And with Jones making the key plays down the stretch, it did-
n’t matter. “I loved him,” Capel said of Jones, before he witnessed the freshman carry UK to victory. “I didn’t love him this afternoon.” While Oklahoma never led during the game, it closed to within five points after being down by as many as 18 in the second half. UK’s transition defense allowed Oklahoma to slice to the basket for easy layups. The test — UK’s first close game of the season — was beneficial for the Cats. “I was in the huddle telling them, ‘we need this,’” Calipari See BASKETBALL on page 4
‘05 grad 1st Republican in his county to win office By Brian Hancock news@kykernel.com

Students do all sorts of things with their free time, whether it’s playing sports, joining clubs or picking up a job. Ryan Quarles, a 2005 graduate who was recently elected state representative for the 62nd District of Kentucky’s General Assembly, took more classes. At 27, he is the first-ever Republican to win office in the his-
tory of Scott County. Quarles beat seven-term incumbent Charlie Hoffman with 51 percent of the popular vote. The victory was a culmination of many years of hard work for Quarles. Raised on a Kentucky tobacco farm, Quarles was given a choice: either work on the farm or do well in school. “It was an easy decision for me,” he said. “School was a pri-
ority from early on.” When Quarles arrived at UK in 2002, he said he realized the school had “endless possibilities.” In no more than four years, Quarles completed three undergraduate degrees in agriculture economics, public service and leadership, and political science, graduated summa cum laude with honors and attained two masters degrees in economics and
diplomacy. To do this, Quarles took up to 27 credit hours a semester and managed to stay on the Dean’s List each term. In 2008, Quarles received the Zuckerman Fellowship, granting him a full ride to Harvard University, where he received a masters in higher education. He recently graduated from the UK College of Law, as well. See QUARLES on page 4

THE GOOD The most successful pop-screen transitions, though, have been by people now so successful on screen that the public has almost forgotten they were musicians to begin with Will Smith, say, or Queen Latifah. Mark Wahlberg has done well for himself (in “The Departed,” if not “The Happening”). Erstwhile rapper Ice-T, who now spends his time huffing and puffing around “Law & Order: SVU,” delivered a startling series of performances in the early ‘90s (“New Jack City,” “Ricochet,” “Trespass”) and immediately went from “rap-

Mariah Carey, unfortunately, who despite serious competition still seems to be a contender, with “Glitter.” But she really redeemed herself with “Precious” last year. But when you come right down to it, The King of Rock and Roll is also the reigning monarch of bad movies: Elvis Presley made 33 feature films, all but two (“King Creole” and “Jailhouse Rock”) are virtually unwatchable, other than by his most rabidly partisan fans. Not that it was entirely his fault: As journalist Alanna Nash recounted in “The Colonel,” her 2003 biography of Presley’s manager, Col. Tom Parker, the singer always wanted to make more serious films. He was an admirer of contemporaries such as James Dean and Marlon Brando, and wanted to emulate them. But he was cattle-prodded by the Svengali-like Parker into a series of features so paralyzingly formulaic and stilted they have their own category Elvis Movies. When you consider both badness and output, no one else comes close. THE UNSPEAKABLY UGLY They really need no further explanation: Britney Spears in “Crossroads”; Vanilla Ice in “Cool as Ice”; Kelly Clarkson in “From Justin to Kelly”; all the Spice Girls in “Spice World”; Jennifer Lopez in “Enough.” Sometimes it’s the fault of the movies. And sometimes, it’s not.

Wednesday’s Answer
According to Webster’s dictionary, “burlesque” is either a form of literary satire or “a theatrical entertainment” consisting of “short turns, comic skits and sometimes striptease acts.” It is also a verb (“to imitate in a humorous or derisive manner”). Webster’s entry doesn’t mention yet that it is also a movie. Someday, perhaps: “Burlesque,” opening Wednesday, stars the dynamic duo of Cher and Christina Aguilera as the two ends of the timespace pop-star continuum: Ex-dancer Tess (Cher) is the struggling owner of Los Angeles’ imperiled Burlesque Lounge, a place under siege by speculative big-business types and its own staff’s imbroglios; Ali (Aguilera) is the big-voiced small-town wannabe who’s going to save the joint, come hell or high notes (the idea that audiences will buy Aguilera as a small-town anything seems something of a leap, but, hey). By virtue of casting, “Burlesque” enters a hallowed tradition: the making of the pop idol into the movie star. OK, “star” isn’t always the case, but Aguilera should take comfort from history: It isn’t all that bleak.

You are getting very sleepy… Extending NFL season a bad idea Sleep: a naturally recurring state of relatively suspended sensory and motor activity, characterized by total or partial unconsciousness and the inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. This may be a foreign concept to some students – with that loud roommate coming in at all hours, the paper due tomorrow or the that just kept rolling. JILL KINDY party“Sleep is not only imGuest portant for having good encolumnist ergy during the day, but also for concentration, weight management and safety,” said Dr. Mohammad Motalib of the UK University Health Service. “Many car accidents can be attributed to drowsy drivers. Also, there is good research to show that people who get adequate sleep are better able to maintain their weight.” Dr. Motalib suggests getting seven to eight hours of sleep each night in order get the rest and recovery that your body needs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work to add up nighttime sleep with naps. And no, you can’t “catch up” on the weekends. Sleep problems can stem from stress, medications and physical ailments, just to name a few. If your lack of sleep or inability to sleep is persistent and bothersome, consult a clinician who can help. Here are a few tips from the Academy of Sleep Medicine. For busy college students, this may seem like a daunting list, but try to incorporate at least a few into your sleep routine. 1. Get up at the same time every morning. 2. Get a full night’s sleep on a regular basis. That’s typically seven to eight hours.
3. Avoid taking naps if you can. If you must take a nap, try to keep it short (less than one hour). 4. Keep a regular schedule. Regular times for meals, medications, chores, and other activities help keep the inner body clock running smoothly. 5. Don’t read, write, eat, watch TV, talk on the phone or play cards in bed. 6. Do not have any caffeine after lunch. 7. Do not have a beer, a glass of wine or any other alcohol within six hours of your bedtime. 8. Do not have a cigarette or any other source of nicotine before bedtime. 9. Do not go to bed hungry, but don’t eat a big meal near bedtime either. 10. Avoid any tough exercise within six hours of your bedtime. 11. Avoid sleeping pills, or use them cautiously. Most doctors do not prescribe sleeping pills for periods of more than three weeks. Do not drink alcohol while taking sleeping pills. 12. Make your bedroom quiet, dark, and a little bit cool. It should remind you of a cave. While this may not sound romantic, it seems to work for bats. Bats are champion sleepers. 13. Don’t go to bed unless you are sleepy. If you are not sleepy at bedtime, then do something else. Read a book, listen to soft music or browse through a magazine. Find something relaxing, but not stimulating. 14. If you are not asleep after 20 minutes, then get out of the bed. Find something else to do that will make you feel relaxed. If you can, do this in another room. Once you feel sleepy again, go back to bed. Jill Kindy is an education coordinator for UHS.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” – or try, and face the consequences. In case you haven’t heard, the NFL is seriously considering changing the current 16 game regular season schedule and extending it to 18 games. The change would be effective next year and for years to come. The potential move could be costly for the NFL, mainly because it could adversely affect fan interest. It gives more chances for injuries and changes pre-season preparation, as well. The NFL, at least for now, differentiates itself from all other professional sports leagues. What makes the NFL great is what makes other professional sports seasons prolonged and meaningless until the final weeks of the season when games actually matter: the schedule. It’s no secret that NFL receives higher TV ratings than other professional sports, which probably has to do with having a higher demand per game because of the shorter schedule. With a shorter schedule than other professional sports leagues, each game in the NFL is significant. Extending the schedule only lowers the significance of each game which, in turn, could result in lost interest. By potentially adding two more games to the season, the NFL is risking significant increases in the number of potential injuries, which already play an exceptionally major role in the status quo. As result, by the time that the playoffs finally come around — which are supposed to be reserved for the most consistent teams that play the highest quality of football throughout the year — the class of football won’t be as high. The NFL’s new proposal also cuts the preseason from four games to two. In cutting the preseason in half, teams have less time to evaluate the depth of talent on their team and less time to get starters reacquainted after a long offseason. This creates a paradox. Do you want your backups to get valuable playing time in case an injury occurs and they have to play, or do you want to get your starters the majority of playing time and risk having unprepared backups? The irony is that with an 18-game season, more injuries are likely to occur, but the shorter preseason probably won’t allow backups to be fully prepared to step in for injured players. Only playing two preseason games doesn’t allow much mixing of the two. It will be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming offseason. The NFL and the National Football League Players Association are currently in discussions about a new collective bargaining agreement; both include an 18-game schedule. The leagues current collective bargaining agreement expires in March. The NFL is potentially taking a big gamble that isn’t necessarily called for. Only time will tell the degree of the payoff.

Doctoral student to play for NY audience
Crawford suspended for rest of year By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com

Seunghee Lee’s mother first noticed her daughter’s talent when she was 5. “She said that I tried to find the melody and accompaniment parts by ear after hearing music from kindergarten,” Lee said. “I would sit on the piano bench, guess and then play it.” All that “ear” work has paid off. Lee, now a piano performance doctoral candidate at UK, will perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Dec. 1. Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Lee, 32, moved to the U.S. in 2002. She earned her masters degree in piano performance from Ohio University. “I think my musical talent is from my family,” Lee said. “My grandfather wrote plays. My sister is a composer and my aunt is a professor of voice.” Lee said her parents and husband have most influenced her career. “I loved to play my whole life, but I had a hard time because I was so busy studying general courses before college,” Lee said. “Whenever I needed to balance between piano and studying, my parents encouraged me. They’re always ready to listen to what I’m feeling. My parents, especially my mom, have cried with me over the phone since I came to the U.S. because of homesickness, culture shock, language difficulties, study burdens and performing under pressure.” Lee married another positive influence, Youngsub Oh, in 2007. “My husband is doing part of my parents’ job, but more practical and physical: cooking, giving massages,
recording concerts, making posters and advertising,” Lee said. “He lets me focus on piano during my doctoral studies.” “Two teachers encouraged my talent, Dr. Eckes at Ohio University and Dr. Voro at UK. Dr. Eckes gave me the opportunity to study in the U.S. by offering the scholarship and encouraging me to prepare for competitions in the U.S. and Italy. She took me from South Korea to the global stage. Dr. Voro is a great teacher and excellent performer. Every lesson with her is a gift, a journey into a different world; exciting, inspiring and endlessly creative,” she said. Lee said her international debut was in 2003, when she was a winner of the International Concerto Competition at the Festival of Music in Laguna, Italy. She remains nonpulsed by her win. “The fact that I won is not significant,” Lee said. “I was so interested, but had very little time to prepare. I applied and began to prepare, I had three weeks. I was passionate, on fire, crazy about learning a new piece.” Some of Lee’s other accolades include the Outstanding Member Award and Graduate Achievement Award in Per-
formance at Ohio University, and successes at the Ohio University Concerto Competition and the UK Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition. “When I have competitions, I try to focus on playing,” Lee said. “I also imagine the stages, research the composer’s life, listen to recordings and practice endlessly. I devote myself to the music. I am more passionate about music than competition.” Amy Papp, a dietetics junior and a friend of Lee, attributed Lee’s talent to effort and keen perception. “Seunghee is very dedicated and hard-working,” Papp said. “She is also attentive and perceptive in her relationships with others, which manifests itself in her playing through the intimacy which she establishes with the music and her thorough knowledge of the technical and musical qualities of her pieces.” Lee’s upcoming performance at Carnegie Hall marks an important moment in her musical career. “It is absolutely honorable in my life,” Lee said. “I am really excited to play there and meet the New York audience.”

ternity is excluded from intramural participation and the fourth semester, the fraternity would lose the right to recruit freshmen in the fall. “The Greek community at UK is in a state of change,” Lowe said. “We want to make sure we are being a valuable member of the community and giving back. When people join Greek organizations, you make a promise to hold yourself accountable. We want to take that commitment seriously.” In addition to the GPA requirement changes, edits were also made to the benefits associated with high achieving chapters. If an organization reaches a GPA of 3.2, it will receive a $75 reduction in IFC dues, up from what used to be a $50 reduction. If the GPA is 3.3, it will receive a $125 reduction, up from $100. If the GPA is 3.4, it will receive a $275 reduction, up from $250. “Anything we can do to help guys become more focused is a good thing,” Willett said. “This is the right direction. We want to hold fraternities to a higher standard.”
overhyped and overthink everything.” Some of Cobb’s teammates weren’t as coy about their desire to end the losing streak. “Our program has progressed and I think it’s time for us to not be associated with a 25-year losing streak,” junior cornerback Anthony Mosley said. Phillips said he is never worried about Cobb’s approach entering a game. “Whatever approach (Cobb) takes, I wish all of them took because he comes to play every week,” Phillips said. “I like his approach, because he’ll be ready to play. We know that.” Cobb said “the game has a lot of implications,” but more so from a team perspective as opposed to an individual perspective. When pressed by reporters to show his emotion, Cobb repeated: “It’s just another game.”
QUARLES Continued from page 1 “I have to credit my success to my advisers — especially Lori Garkovich,” Quarles said. “She was instrumental in helping me to win the Truman Scholarship.” The Truman Scholarship is given each year to 65 college juniors nationwide. Quarles was awarded $30,000 to pursue graduate work in the area of public service. Since finishing school, Quarles maintained his work ethic. “While I was at Harvard and UK Law School, I started thinking about what I wanted to do with my life,” he said. “I decided I wanted to give back to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, which had already given me so much.” Having already served
two consecutive terms as a council member on the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, Quarles decided to run for state representative a little more than a year ago. Though he had worked with many campaigns in years past, he said running his own was unlike anything he’d ever experienced. “There’s nothing like actually having your name on the ballot and experiencing the pure exhaustion from running your own campaign,” he said. Quarles lost 15 pounds during his campaign. “I’m just now getting caught up on sleep, I think,” he said. All his efforts proved worthwhile, though, as he pulled off an upset by just more than 300 votes — a 2.3 percent margin of victory. “I was just happy that people didn’t hold my age against me,” Quarles said.
“In many cases, voters who wanted change thought [my age] was an asset.” Quarles will take office in January. He hopes to “reform how our government works, making it more transparent and more accountable.” Quarles said he wants to make all government expenditures available to the public by putting them online. As for his agenda, Quarles said he would like to work towards better education in the Commonwealth. “I hope to develop a niche in education reform in Kentucky,” he said. Quarles encourages student input regarding the issue. “I’m one of you guys still. I want to hear from you, the students,” he said.

Junior defensive tackle Mark Crawford will be suspended for the rest of the year, including any bowl game, for a violation of team rules, UK head coach Joker Phillips said. In 10 games, Crawford has recorded 23 tackles and two sacks. Phillips did not name a starter, but some combination of Luke McDermott, Donte Rumph and Shane McCord is expected to replace Crawford. Sophomore cornerback Martavius Neloms has been suspended for the first half of Saturday’s game after he traded punches with a Vanderbilt player in UK’s last game. Neloms was ejected. Redshirt freshman wide receiver Brian Adams is the only player doubtful for the game against Tennessee because of injury. Defensive linemen Nermin Delic and Ricky Lumpkin will have limited reps this week as they recover from minor injuries.
BASKETBALL Continued from page 1 said. “I want to see who can step up. I want to see who can make a play. And the only way you learn is in a close game like this where we can lose this.” Jones was the one making the plays. He kept pouring in baskets and made two critical blocks down the stretch. On one possession, Jones ripped down a rebound, galloped the length of the floor with the ball in his hands on the fast break and zipped a pass to Harrellson for a layup that extended the lead to 13 with less than five minutes to play. “I saw Josh running the floor hard, and I just wanted to hit him,” Jones said. Calipari was relayed Capel’s statement that Jones was the best player in the nation. “Today,” Calipari said. “Today he was.” Game Notes - UK opened the game on a 16-6 run and held a halftime lead of 42-28. - Jones’ 29 points was the second-most alltime by a UK freshman, two points behind Jamal Mashburn and tied with Eric Bledsoe. - Jones has all seven dunks for UK this season. - UK shot 11-22 (50 percent) from the free throw line and 29-58 (50 percent) from the field. - DeAndre Liggins injured his shoulder during the game and said it was sore, but he should be fine.
