Student Government announced a new driving program that will bus students home for free during high-risk traffic hours. The Cats Cruiser program will begin Jan. 13. The program will have a fleet of four 17passenger buses on four fixed routes Thursday through Saturday from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m during the academic year when classes are in session. The service will circulate every 20-30 minutes and allow students to return to campus or surrounding neighborhoods. Non-students can use the service for $1. “Safety and transportation are always concerns of students,” SG Vice President Kelsey Hayes said. The prorgam will cost $172,000, and $85,000 of that will come out of SG’s budget, SG Deputy Chief of Staff Max Stefka said. The figure is roughly 17 percent of the SG’s budget. The university will provide the other $87,000. Stefka said a budget surplus from last year and student input made the program possible. “Planning for this program began last year after we heard comments from students,” Stefka said.
“They want me to ensure safety. This program does just that.” PRESIDENT LEE TODD
Several other universities offer a similar service, including Auburn University, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Florida, Stefka said in November. UK is partnering with LexTran to ensure the safest transit for students, Stefka said. “Providing this service is precisely what they do,” he said. “This ensures that the program will be carried out in a professional manner.” LexTran General Manager Rocky Burke said the company will provide the buses and drivers. Off-duty police officers will be stationed on the buses as well. LexTran has leased one new bus and will supply three others for the program, Burke said. “I’m excited to be part of this,” he said. The buses operate as regular LexTran vehicles and will fall under the same insurance policy, Burke said. In creating the program, SG and LexTran worked with local neighborhood associations See DRIVING on page 2
Snowstorm may alter UK parking UK students with vehicles parked on “Snow Emergency” routes may need to move their cars if Lexington declares a snow emergency. Lexington Division of Police is asking students to consider moving their cars from snow routes to allow for adequate snow removal, according to an e-mail from the UK Police Department.

UK freshman forward Terrence Jones lays in a basket in the first half of UK's win over the Auburn Tigers at Rupp Arena on Jan. 11, 2011.
Cats rout Tigers despite weak finish By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
It came perfectly full circle. Terrence Jones had started the game on the bench, an unfamiliar spot for the usual starter. He was inserted into the game a little under four minutes into the game. He was taken out of the game with a little over two minutes left. In between, he broke the UK freshman scoring record with 35 points. On the way out, with a standing ovation surrounding him, Jones passed Doron Lamb, who had held the record for all of four games. “I told him ‘I’m sorry,’” Jones said to his teammate. Lamb didn’t care. Neither did anybody else. The 35 points led No. 13 UK (13-3, 1-1 SEC) past Auburn (7-9, 0-2 SEC) 78-54. The record-breaking game almost didn’t happen. Jones was battling a sinus infection, and he said the decision on if he could play was left up to the trainer in the morning. The sickness, which Jones said left him coughing up mucus and blood, was the primary reason Jones started on the bench. “(UK head coach John) Calipari told me not to use the excuse that I was sick,” Jones said.
No excuses were needed after a night like that. Jones added eight rebounds, which Calipari applauded more than the points after the game. He tied the record on a three-pointer and broke it on a free throw. On the night, Jones made 4 of 5 threes, and got to the freethrow line 13 times. And he hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at halftime. “Yeah, that’s the best feeling, (with the clock) 5, 4, 3,” Jones said. “I wasn’t going to let that one (go).” The 35 points and eight rebounds were the type of numbers he posted at the beginning of the year, the type that had thrust Jones into the Player of the Year debate early in the year. But he had cooled off recently, to the point where Calipari had mentioned the possibility of having him come off the bench after the loss to Georgia. “Terrence is having to live up to how he played in Hawaii and Notre Dame,” Calipari said. “Every game he plays, he’s judged against those performances.” It was a bounce back performance for Jones, and a bounce back game for UK, as well, after losing to Georgia in its SEC opener. Auburn had scored six points in the first See JONES on page 2
A late start didn’t slow down freshman forward Terrence Jones. After a handful of sluggish starts this season, Jones found himself on the bench during tip-off for the first time this season. In past games in which Jones had slow starts, namely Saturday’s game in Georgia, he still found a way to post his usual double-double. Tuesday night he took it to a whole new level. Jones was uncertain what his availability for the game would be due to illness. “I just had the mindset of coming in today trying to play my hardest,” Jones said. “(UK head coach John Calipari) told me not to use the excuse that I was sick. I didn’t practice yesterday, so I didn’t know how much I was going to be able to play today, how much the trainer was going to let me play.” Despite not seeing the floor until the fifteen-minute mark of the first half, Jones posted 35 points against Auburn, breaking the freshman scoring record set by teammate Doron Lamb against Winthrop in December. Before this season, the record stood for 19 years since being set by Jamal Mashburn in 1991. “He had 35 today, broke my record,” Lamb said. “I don’t think he can say he was sick anymore.” Not only did Jones break the record, but like Lamb, he did it coming off the bench. “He had 27 points with like eight minutes to go,” Lamb said. “I knew he was going to break it. I didn’t care though ... You never know, somebody else might break it. You just have to keep watching.” Jones felt for his teammate and his short-lived record and the two had a visible playful exchange when Jones headed to the bench for the last time. “I told him ‘I’m sorry,’” Jones said. Calipari threatened to sit Jones at the start of games in response to his slow starts after the See MURRAY on page 2
Professor appointed to Gray’s staff By Brian Shlonsky bshlonsky@kykernel.com
One of UK's own is the latest piece of the puzzle in Mayor Jim Gray's administration. On Jan. 4, Gray announced the appointment of UK social work professor Beth Mills as Commissioner of Social Services. Mills, also the Director of Field Work for the College of Social Work, has been a professor at UK since 2004, and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UK. Mills said her experiences at
UK will prove invaluable as she transitions into her new position. “I mainly placed students in agencies for the past six years, and by doing that I got to know how agencies really work,” Mills said. “I have made a whole lot more social services contacts at UK and met professors that can help, so UK really helped broaden my network.” Gray also recognized the importance of Mills' UK background. “Beth was educated at UK and is now coming back to City Hall after working at the Univer-
sity since 2004,” Gray said. “The wide range of experience she gained there, on top of the experience she gained here, made her an outstanding candidate to lead our Department of Social Services." Mills said her new position gives her a chance to be creative and work to have a great social service community in Lexington. “I will help make policy changes and work with the people of Lexington to find the best outcomes,” Mills said. “Times are tough; a lot of people aren't
working, there are a lot of youth in the community in detention, so it's a critical time and I look forward to making some of those changes in Lexington.” According to a UK news release, Mills worked in social services for more than 14 years prior to joining the College of Social Work faculty at UK in 2004, serving as the director of the Lexington Senior Citizens Center, director of Urban County Government Division of Adult Services and interim commissioner of Urban County GovernSee GRAY on page 2

to map out routes that would best serve students and residents. Community members living in neighborhoods near UK expressed concerns about the shuttle during its planning stages. “The first maps changed dramatically since the idea came about,” said Diane Lawless, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government third district councilwoman. “It proved to be a great opportunity to work with students and the community. This is how we move forward.” Once the routes were finalized, Lawless and Stefka drove them to ensure the accuracy of the stops. At least two stops were inaccuarate and are being fixed, Lawless said.

What a great way to end your career, everything built up to this point, I'd be able to finish my social work career on a great note.” Mills said her favorite part of being a professor was the chance to interact with students. “My joy has been teaching students, and once things get rolling I will be taking social service student interns,” Mills said. “I can't leave my students.” According to the news release, in addition to Gray's appointment of Mills, UK Law Professor Chris Frost was appointed as chair of Gray's transition committee, and UK business professor Merl Hackbart was appointed as a member of the transition committee.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT: "La Ciudad de las Estrellas (City of the Stars)" is not a city but a bustling, largely outdoor medical clinic in an unnamed South American country where three young doctors from the States converge. These three, Lily Brenner (Caroline Dhavernas), Mina Minard (Mamie Gummer, who is Meryl Streep's daughter) and Tommy Fuller (Zach Gilford of "Friday Night Lights") are running away from something or someone, but mostly a past that was either painful or inglorious or both. Las Estrellas is their second chance. Run by slightly enigmatic, extremely hunky Dr. Ben Keeton (New Zealander Martin Henderson), with assists from docs Zee Alvarez (Valerie Cruz) and Otis Cole (Jason George), Las Estrellas is a sauna that's underfunded and understaffed.

ing 4 of 5 from behind the arc. He also posted three steals and two blocks. Jones’ play was the spark his offense needed. He was one of two UK players to make it to the free throw line, and his hustle seemed substantially improved from his play in Athens. While Jones led the Cats in scoring after the half with 13, it seemed the team was going to find their scoring rather evenly distributed. True to form, Jones woke up for the second half and
changed the game’s dynamic. He would post 22 in the second half, and his 35 would make up almost half of the Cats’ total points. While benching Jones was most likely more of a statement than a permanence, the freshman scoring record has been broken twice this season, and each player has done so coming off the bench.

Cats’ 2011 quarterback situation unresolved By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
The UK football team was without the services of starting quarterback Mike Hartline for its season-ending 27-10 loss to Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl due to suspension, and will have to get used to life without Hartline going forward because the fifth-year senior has used up his eligibility. Hartline posted the best statistics of his collegiate career in his final season as a Cat after winning the starting quarterback job in August by beating out sophomore Morgan Newton and redshirt freshman Ryan Mossakowski. However, the Cats’ quarterback situation is back to square one heading into spring football after Newton failed to solidify the starter’s role with his fill-in performance in the Compass Bowl. He finished with a careerhigh in passing yards (211), completions (21) and attempts (36) against Pitt. “(The quarterback competition) will be open; I don’t think we have a starter right now for next season,” UK offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Randy Sanders said. “We have got a guy (Newton) who has started some games and played pretty well. We’ve got another guy (Mossakowski) that I think is talented and has the ability to play but hasn’t done it a whole lot on gameday. I hope they both compete hard.” Sanders said he has yet to discuss with UK head coach Joker Phillips and the rest of the coaching staff his thoughts regarding the quarterback situation. On the other hand, at Saturday’s postgame news conference, it seemed apparent that Phillips was insinuating that the slight edge belonged to Newton to retain the starter’s job. “He will start a competi-

Sanders gave Newton’s performance a favorable review: “It wasn’t perfect, but Morgan played pretty well today…other than missing (tailback Derrick) Locke one time and missing (receiver) La’Rod (King) one time, he didn’t miss many throws; I think he threw it 30-something times and I thought there was maybe one time he threw it to the wrong guy.” Newton brings mobility to the quarterback position, as evidenced by his 12 carries in the Compass Bowl, unlike the pocket passing styles of Hartline or Mossakowski. “I expected (Newton) and encouraged him to be willing to pull it down and take off running with it and make some plays,” Sanders said. One such play was a long scramble on a 3rd-and-19 when Newton ran for 18 yards to put the Cats in position to convert on 4th-and-
short. However, Newton’s willingness to run also resulted in a fumble on UK’s opening drive versus the Panthers—protecting the football on scrambles is something Sanders said he warned Newton about. “I’m a 19-year-old kid, and I guess I was a little hardheaded about that,” Newton said. “On the first drive I laid it on the ground.” Sanders said he is confident that the Cats can win in the Southeastern Conference with whichever quarterback becomes the starter for next year. Newton and Mossakowski were both highly touted recruits from the class of 2009 and were listed jointly as the backup quarterback on the depth chart this season. Mossakowski redshirted his first season on campus while recovering from a shoulder injury while Newton recorded a 5-3 record as a true freshman in relief of an injured Hartline. Still, in his ninth career start, Newton missed the opportunity to lock up the starting role, for now. “I feel like I made some plays but that I left a lot of plays on the field,” he said.

Drawn-out Kanter decision comes to end, sets precedent By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Enes Kanter was ruled permanently ineligible on Jan. 7 for receiving impermissible compensation from a professional team. Here is a look at what went into the decision, the appeal and the aftermath, including how it could affect future recruiting.
The appeal The final decision lasted from the beginning of the year until Jan. 7. In that time, there were two decisions made by the NCAA and two upholdings made by the appeals committee. The first appeal was a joint effort between the NCAA, UK and the Kanter family, UK spokesman DeWayne Peevy said. UK was told to appeal and that it would “not be a waste of time.” The decision to appeal a second time was left “entirely” up to Kanter. “At that point, it was already so long into December, you don’t want to feel like you didn’t try everything,” Peevy said. “If he was ready to stop, we were too. We didn’t want
to keep pushing it if was bothering him.” Following the final decision, NCAA President Mark Emmert publicly explained the decision to CBS’ Seth Davis. Calipari implied wonder at why an explanation was necessary. “All the comments, you’ve made your decision, why are you still commenting?” Calipari said. Calipari said the decision wasn’t black and white, as he said some media have claimed, or else the decision wouldn’t have lasted as long. “Why would you put him through eight months and say you guys should appeal this?” Calipari said. Calipari noted the extended duration of the decision was unfortunate for Kanter, but Peevy acknowledged that it was a complicated process. “I don’t think that’s anybody’s fault,” Peevy said about the length of the decision process. “It’s just that it’s a very unique case, where a kid from another country, a high level athlete, (with) a lot of things are involved from a team overseas to a university here.” While a lawsuit has been mentioned before as a possible course of action, that decision would be left up

to Kanter and his family. Peevy said Kanter had not brought it up with the UK staff, although he didn’t explicitly rule it out as a possibility.
The aftermath Kanter has now morphed from a practice player unable to play in games to an undergraduate student-assistant coach. He traveled to Georgia, his first road trip, and will be able to participate in UK practices to a certain degree. Now, with a career at UK out of the question, Kanter will focus on working toward the NBA, although that may not have been his first intention. “He did not want to put his name in the draft,” Calipari said. “Had no desire at all. Now I don’t think he has a whole lot of choices, but that’s not what he wanted to do.” Calipari said he would work Kanter out in front of NBA personnel and will sit with him in the green room. But Kanter, who is 18 years old, may not be ready for the jump to a professional league. “This young man is 18 as we See KANTER on page 6

ent cases with very different facts. You mentioned Selby. Here was an individual who took somewhere over $5,000 worth of impermissible benefits. It was from a third party. That wasn’t a violation of our rules regarding professional athletics.”

seemingly made a concerted effort to remain an amateur: “I can’t describe what a good-faith effort is. I don’t know the young man or his family. If their intention all along was to have him come play in the United States, then it would simply have been a matter of not accepting pay. We’ve seen a threefold increase in the number of international athletes com-
ing to college, so it’s not right to say the environment is not conducive for them to come here and play.” On Dick Vitale’s assertion that Kanter would have been ruled eligible had he been playing for Washington, the school where Emmert was President last year and a school that recruited Kanter: “Not to put too fine a
point on it, but that’s ridiculous. By all accounts this is a very talented basketball player, but yet there were very few schools recruiting him. Because everyone understood that there was a very large probability that he was not going to be deemed eligible. This has nothing to do with Kentucky or Coach Calipari. It has to do with a clear rule and a clear set of facts.

If you’re not NICK from AlaCRADDOCK bama, conKernel sider yourcolumnist self blessed. In any event, while I was at work in the Deep South, which had temporarily turned into an icebox, a fellow Canuck was heating things up on a private yacht in the Caribbean. That’s right, Justin Bieber, my fellow Canadian and twice previously a target of my ramblings, was seen smooching Disney wunderkind Selena Gomez, who is strongly rumored to be Bieber’s flame. Bow-chickawow-wow! Obviously, my piece in mid-October chastising Bieber for getting in a tizzy at a laser tag center only helped fuel Bieber Fever; he’s further forgotten his Canadian roots and continues to be focused on his oh-so-perfect bowl haircut as his star continues to rise. Some of you might be
saying, “Nick, you’ve mentioned Bieber a lot, and though you say he perturbs you, it would seem that you’d like to start a bromance with him and are currently Google searching images of him while you write this.” Puh-lease. First of all, he’s a minor. It’s illegal to start a bromance with a minor. Secondly, he’s riding my coattails! It seems that I have made him famous by repeatedly mentioning his name in my writing, so much so that when I now reference him my readership spikes ten-fold plus four (which means I’ll have four readers!). Admittedly, I must accept that I need his help to amount to something more than an empty shell of a person who refuses to eat anything but Lean Cuisine microwaveable meals and Yoplait GoGurt. That’s why I’m going to ask all the Bieber fans who tweeted death threats to Gomez for stealing “their” man to refrain from doing so. I need Bieber to be happy if he is to help me achieve my goals. These tweets directed to Gomez, such as, “If you are the Girlfriend of Justin I will Kill you I HATE YOU :@ !!!(sic)” and “I’ll kill you I swear on GOD!!!!(sic)” are likely making Bieber very

I’ll assume many of these tweeters were not sociopathic tweens, but simply jokesters who were limited by Twitter’s 140-character limit and thus, couldn’t find space for an “LOL” or a “JK” to indicate their death threats weren’t serious. If you are a tween who wants to wed Bieber, a threatening tweet won’t win over his heart. In fact, all your tweets are making his stock of lady friends more famous. However, I figure a clever tweet to Gomez will get my message across that he needs to help my celebrity now, something along the lines of: “Do u honestly believe Justin wants to make you more famous than one of his fellow countrymen? U r more like Selena Hopez.” Even with Gomez out of the picture, what are the chances of my star ever surpassing Bieber’s at this point? Probably not until hell freezes over. And I heard Birmingham experienced quite an ice storm after I left.

Hollywood discovers teen girls’ true grit By Rebecca Keegan MCT
LOS ANGELES _ "I am about to embark on a great adventure," says the hero, tucking a Colt revolver into a flour sack, donning a widebrimmed Stetson and riding out into the wilderness on the trail of a killer. Smart, stoic and purposeful, this avenger is a stock Western movie protagonist in every way but one _ Mattie Ross, the central character in the new film "True Grit," is a 14-year-old girl. Given that female adolescents are frequently depicted on-screen as vapid ("Mean Girls"), angst-ridden ("Twilight"), pregnant ("Juno") or merely decorative ("SpiderMan"), Mattie Ross is a remarkable role. She never shakes out her braids in a makeover montage, swoons over a cute stable boy or frets about the daunting task at hand tracking down the man who shot her father, with assists from a crusty federal marshal (Jeff Bridges) and dandified Texas Ranger (Matt Damon). "True Grit," directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, is the second film to be made from Charles' Portis 1968 novel of the same name. The first, which hit cinemas in 1969 and was directed by Henry Hathaway, focused more on John Wayne's federal marshal, aged Mattie to be played by 21-year-old Kim Darby, softened the hard edges Portis had etched into her character and added a hint of romance between Mattie and the Texas Ranger. While the differences between the two movie Matties say something about her filmmaker fathers, they reveal even more about the eras from which they sprung. The Coens' Mattie is a tenacious new kind of teen heroine jockeying her way onto movie screens. She's the product of a film industry in which young women are infiltrating traditionally male genres like action films; female directors

and producers are wielding increasing creative influence; and the culture is moving from a sexed-up, dumbeddown model of female adolescence to one marked by smarts, strength and scrap. "Most teenage girls in movies are more like Valley girls," says Hailee Steinfeld, 14, the precocious Hollywood newcomer who plays Mattie. "But Mattie, she's driven, determined. This character is about getting the job done." Other gutsy adolescents hitting movie screens recently include Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence), the 17-year-old, wood-chopping, squirrel-gutting Ozark girl who must track down her meth-dealer father to save the family homestead in the art-house hit "Winter's Bone," and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz), the purplewigged, profanity-spewing 11-year-old vigilante who assists her crime-fighting dad in the comic book adaptation "Kick-Ass." (In a trend begun in ancient Greece, many of these fictional daughters are on an Oedipal quest of one sort or another.) Old-school Disney girls are also starting to reflect a modern moxie _ director Tim Burton's 19-year-old Alice in "Alice in Wonderland" skips out on an unwanted marriage proposal and slays a jabberwocky, and in the animated feature "Tangled," Rapunzel finally sneaks down from that tower and wields her 80 feet of hair as a lasso and a bullwhip. "People are finding these heroines charismatic, unexpected and fresh," says "Winter's Bone" director Debra Granik. "What a person in the business can get from that is, 'Hey, a young female protagonist doesn't need to have a boyfriend, get pregnant, cut herself or be naked to attract an audience.'" Traditionally, one of the barriers to teen female protagonists driving anything but romances has been the conventional wisdom in Hollywood that such characters alienate male audiences. That
didn't seem to be a problem for the Coens' "True Grit," however. Though the PG-13 film is built squarely around Steinfeld's performance, its marketing emphasized its male stars, and "True Grit" has brought in more than $100 million at the box office so far on the shoulders of mostly male moviegoers. Ideally for filmmakers, these heroines don't turn off men and entice women and girls to genres they might ordinarily skip. At least that's what Zack Snyder would like to accomplish with the upcoming movie "Sucker Punch," a feminine twist on the prison break film in which an 18-year-old character named Baby Doll (played by 22-year-old Emily Browning) fights her way out of a mental institution using her mind, her fellow patients and some samurai swords. "We have female characters in this situation that's mostly the terrain of men," says Snyder, whose film is due in theaters in March. "It's a challenge economically to find who is the audience for the movie. Our hope is that the movie is transcendent, that it becomes something no one's seen before and exists outside the models (studios) use to track potential economic gains." More of these "Rambolinas" are on the way to cineplexes: In April, in the titular role of "Hanna," a 14-yearold assassin-in-training played by Saoirse Ronan journeys across Europe on her first, dangerous mission. In "The Hunger Games," a potential franchise about to begin casting, Katniss Everdeen, the 16-year-old huntress from the bestselling series of dystopian novels, volunteers to fight to the death in a government-staged arena game to save her younger sister's life. And Granik and her producing partner, Anne Rosellini, are working on a film treatment for one of fiction's original tomboys, Pippi Longstocking.
huge here.” Calipari said he reminds Kanter that there this decision is ultimately not the end of his road by any means – he still has professional basketball to play. The UK program will move on, but the decision is affecting Kanter at this point. “My point right now is to make sure we make an unbelievable situation out of a bad situation,” Calipari said.
education, for health, (but if they receive extra money) they’re never going to play college athletics.” Kanter did not have a contract with his European club, which may have set another precedent. “You don’t have to have a contract,” Calipari said. “Now if that club comes back and says we gave him pocket money of $400, then he is ineligible for life. … and that’s fine, that’s just where we all live now.” Recruiting of European players could be impacted by the decision. Calipari said clubs are now aware they can give even small amount, such as $500, and know that it would ruin the chance of a player leaving for college. “Not just (UK), but everybody (will be effected in recruiting),” Calipari said. “This will be any program now, looking at a player.” Follow Aaron on Twitter @KernelASmith.
How the decision affects recruiting Kanter was ruled ineligible because of $33,033 in excessive expenses. Calipari said the NCAA now set a precedent, that any amount, even $500, would make a player permanently ineligible. “It’s not the amount of money. It’s you got money over, you’re out,” Calipari said. “They could use it for

11 ways to find Silence ensures voice will be heard balance in 2011 Silence in journalism
What’s the big deal with New Year’s resolutions anyway? By now I have not been 100 percent loyal to them, even though I had such high aspirations. That is because it is hard to make a dramatic change overnight for anyone (except for maybe Chuck Norris). It doesn’t have to be Jan. 1 to make a change in your life. The key is practicality. If you’ve never run a day in your life, how are you to expect that you can run SARA NELLE 10 miles right away? Since it’s the beginning of the semesMURPHY ter, I thought that I would point out some Kernel suggestions on how to have a successful columnist spring semester. It can be hard to be motivated to do anything during such a dark, dismal time of the year, but this is the time to reflect and make changes. I hope you find this list helpful to you, and that it helps you get off to a good start this semester! 1. Stop telling yourself you’ll stop procrastinating tomorrow. We say we’ll start studying in an hour, in two hours, tomorrow and on and on it goes. Finally, you’re facing the day before an exam and you have yet to study, so you cram and stress and hope you’ll do OK. As simple as it is, studying a small amount every day, and building upon that knowledge is the best way to retain information, and a surefire way to avoid those all-nighters. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you can’t memorize the whole Periodic Table of Elements in an hour. 2. Remember what the weekdays are for, as well as the weekends. The college life is full of freedom. Often you don’t have daily assignments, and your weeknights become opportunities for fun and hanging out with friends. But by the end of the weekend, you realize how behind you are and Sunday becomes the day of unrest. If you commit yourself to focus during the weeknights and get everything that needs to be accomplished done by Friday, then the weekend can be guilt-free. 3. Schedule at least one fun activity that you enjoy every day. We spend our lives counting down until our next vacation, and going through the motions of everyday life until we reach day one. Do something you enjoy and that enriches you every day, and you will feel happy and satisfied when you go to sleep, instead of just always waiting until the next “big” thing. 4. Go to the gym because you want to, not because you “have” to, and eat healthy (most of the time). Almost everyone makes resolutions to be healthier and get in shape. The problem is that most of us put a lot of pressure on ourselves to transform into an Olympian overnight, and instead we get burned out and retreat to the couch. By making small changes instead of dramatic overhauls, you’re more likely to be successful in the long run. 5. De-clutter your space and de-stress your life: It seems most of us fill our lives, and our houses, with more and more things we don’t really need. They start to accumulate dust and sit there on the shelf. But have you ever walked into a spa, or a beautifully-designed hotel room, and your mind just went “ahhhh”? This is the power of feng shui. It can be hard to let go of things you own, but it can be therapeutic. In addition, those clothes you never wear could be donated to a good home, and you get to rediscover the color of your carpet! 6. Improve your relationship with your alarm clock. Getting enough sleep is one of the main challenges of the busy college student. Many feel lucky if they can get at least five hours of sleep at night. Coffee is a must to come alive in the morning, and sometimes the only thing to look forward to is an afternoon nap. If we could just get a decent amount (usually around seven hours) of sleep a night, then the shrill beep of the alarm clock wouldn’t be quite as horrible. 7. Get off Facebook and get face-to-face. It is the addiction of most college kids, and the easiest way for time to slip away. The majority of young adults spend hours a day on Facebook, and this can sometimes take the place of real-life socializing. If you spend less time on Facebook, you’ll have more time to spend not only studying, but also forming lasting relationships that are based on something more than notifications. 8. It’s a text message, if it was urgent they would have called you. Walk across campus, and about half the people you see will be freezing their fingers off to send a text message right away. Why not set aside some time and different points during the day to be free of the phone? You’ll enjoy the company of others and regain focus on other things that need your attention. And the message will always be there when you return, unlike a friend annoyed by your distraction. 9. Invest your money, time and emotions into people and things that are worth it. While it’s a good thing to say “yes” to everyone who asks for help, you begin to lose a sense of yourself, and you just become exhausted. It’s important to know where you need to focus your attention and when you should pull back, so that at the end of the day you feel satisfied with where you have put your energy and time into. 10. Know what you can change, and accept and make peace with the rest. It can be frustrating when you encounter a problem that you want to fix, but no matter how hard you try, there seems to be no solution. Sometimes the best answer is to accept that there are some things out of your control, and move on to something that you do have the power to change. In a relationship, for instance, sometimes it’s better to end something that has caused too much unneeded stress. This doesn’t mean you should quit something just because it’s hard, but after a certain point no amount of effort can save something that can’t be fixed. It can be hard to move on, but it is a positive change. 11. Think positively, no matter how easy it is to see the negative. It can be easy to see the bad things in your life — especially during these slow winter months — but this creates a cycle of negativity that is hard to break. It is important to appreciate the good things in your life, and to focus on them instead of the bad things. Many people proclaim the power of positive thinking as a way of achieving peace and happiness. Regardless of religious beliefs, anyone can benefit from focusing on the positive. And even if it’s cold and dreary outside, you can still have a sunny disposition! Sarah Nelle Murphy is an English sophomore. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.
As the new Opinions editor, I’d like to start off the semester by clarifying something that Cassidy Herrington mentioned in her farewell column in the last issue of the Kentucky Kernel of the fall 2010 semester. She referred to me as “clever, yet silent.” It’s true: If you meet me in person, I’m often a person of few spoken words. My writing, however, is where you most easily may find my voice. I can see how silence can be intimidating. Silence, after all, speaks volumes without actually communicating anything. It imSHANNON plies nothing and it says everything. PerFRAZER haps that is the reason I support and respect Kernel it so much. columnist Silence is loud. Silence is strong. Silence is powerful. Journalists encounter silence all the time, though. Whether their assignment is to interview the grieving widow whose husband was murdered or to cover a political rally where the silent atmosphere is excruciatingly tense between opposing candidates too stubborn to agree to disagree, yes, journalism needs silence. Journalists who do their jobs most effectively pick up on that, and have learned to embrace the silence. They consider it with every article they write. Unfortunately, based on this quantifier, not too many of these kinds of journalists are out there. Robin Leach, celebrity writer and best known for hosting “Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous,” once said of interviewing, “When I interview people and they give me an immediate answer, they’re often not thinking. So I’m silent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answering. And it’s the second train of thought that’s the better answer.” I couldn’t have “said” it better myself. However, this isn’t just about the journalist restraining himself to allow the interviewee to speak coherently; the journalist can benefit from silence, as well. American playwright and novelist Thornton Wilder said, “Those who are silent, self-effacing and attentive become the recipients of confidences.” Wilder makes the point that the journalists who are not only attentive to their subjects, but also who remain silent to allow their subject to direct the conversation and gain the subject’s trust, those are the journalists who come away with the best stories. No longer will “no comment” be synonymous with a short-sighted snub, or at least that is my hope as more awaken to this realization.
fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.” Well, I think this view is ironic, considering journalism is a career that prides itself on making people talk and practicing the freedom of speech. Evidently never once have these so-called journalists understood that not always does what is said enhance what is known, nor does “speech” stop with verbal communication. In the role of Opinions editor of the Kentucky Kernel this semester, I see it as my duty to express to you, the readers, in my written words what I may not have the capacity to speak, and to encourage you to do the same. It’s like Jaroslav Seifert, the first Czech to win a Nobel Prize in literature, said, “If an ordinary person is silent, it may be a tactical maneuver. If a writer is silent, he is lying.” I will strive to discuss topics that are of interest to readers and that convey my viewpoint honestly, openly and let those readers make of it what they will. The Dalai Lama said it best with this quotation: “Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates a significant impression by remaining silent.” Perhaps the reason silence is so “dynamic” is because people often don’t know what to make of it. It’s unnatural to them. Especially in western culture, we praise whoever’s voice is loudest and feel the need to fill silent voids with conversation. Author Henri Nouwen said, “For many of us, silence has become a threat. There was a time when silence was normal and a lot of noise disturbed us. But today, noise is normal fare, and silence — strange as it may seem — has become the disturbance.”
In the role of Opinions editor of the Kentucky Kernel this semester, I see it as my duty to express to you, the readers, in my written words what I may not have the capacity to speak, and to encourage you to do the same.
My introduction As I’ve mentioned already, many acquaintances tell me the first thing they notice about me is that I’m quiet. Even people who have known me a long time say they find it ironic that I’m interested in a career field that requires conversation. These acquaintances and others share the view of TIME Magazine’s Henry Anatole Grunwald, who said, “Journalism can never be silent: That is its greatest virtue and its greatest
Now it’s your turn If you’re one of those people who are put off by silence, I advise you to read my words and watch my actions. But don’t sit there and wait for me to talk. Better yet, start your own conversation. Appreciate what your fellow students have to say, even if their ideas conflict with yours. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leading patron for women’s suffrage, once said, “The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.” Feel free to break the silence on your own accord. The Opinions page is always accepting submissions from the UK community on issues that affect the people within it. Let me be the journalist and you my interviewee. Say what’s on your mind. Take a cue from Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” With that, I introduce you, my fellow Wildcats, to a semester of possibilities; possibilities to open up about those “things that matter.” Trust me — the silent, clever journalist — we will all be better for it.

Self-expression affects others’ actions After the shooting in Tucson, Ariz. over the weekend, many examinations have come into play. Gun control is once again in the spotlight, as is the availability of weapons with incredible capacities for destruction. The levels of security provided to public officials is being questioned after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a federal judge, and 20 other victims were shot at a constituent's meeting. But as public officials and investigators ANNIE perform their jobs and examine the motives HUGHES and causes for this horrific crime, it’s time Guest America, as a nation, does a similar evaluacolumnist tion on itself. The overall political and cultural rhetoric today is one of anonymous confrontation. No longer are the American people’s options for expression limited to a letter to the editor or a physical protest. No, with the introduction of the Internet came a glorious concept: expression without ownership. With every article or story someone disagrees with, they now have the option of verbally berating or tearing down that opinion without so much as a minimal amount of accountability to the person they so adamantly disagree with. I find this so much more disturbing for my generation, the technological generation. As college students, we had our education based in technology and continue to develop our lives in technological advancements, yet between the warnings of avoiding predators online, or revealing too
LETTER TO THE EDITOR As a former student of the university I thought I would try to voice my opinion on the BBVA Compass bowl game student tickets. When I went to inquire at the ticket office on prices for alumni and/or current student tickets, I was told there were plenty of tickets and that they were all $50. I found it odd the university was charging students the same price as general public, considering Pittsburgh charged their students nothing. Nonetheless, I was optimistic for a solid turnout.

much personal information, where are the lessons on providing thought void of cruel derogatory remarks? The inability of people to censor themselves when attempting to elicit a reaction from someone has little to do with this particular shooting on the surface. But if you dig down deeper and examine the constant bombardment one is faced with when debating behind the face of anonymity, one can't help but wonder how often people like Jared Lee Loughner, the alledged shooter released onto the public last Saturday, don't more often feed on the negativity seeping from the pores of every aspect of societal media. Any one person can open up a blog, a video, a press release or even a excerpt from the often confrontational renderings of anyone political, and see the negative connotations lacing every opinion they form. I can't help but imagine every person too angry to act, using what they see as the overall public feeling as rational for every purposed thought that crossed their minds. But no one physically can prevent something like this shooting from happening. The responsibility for those people’s deaths only lies on the shoulders of the shooter. The responsibility of the opinions and expressions that feed people like the shooter, however? Whose shoulders does that responsibility lie on? Ours. And its time we stepped up, and owned up. What you say today may very well effect what someone does tomorrow. Annie Hughes is a political science junior. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.
