KENTUCKY KERNEL CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Closings a complicated process Road conditions a primary factor By Brandon Goodwin news@kykernel.com
Determining whether UK gets delayed or closed for bad weather depends on more than just snow. Anthany Beatty, UK vice president assistant of Public Safety, said that UK’s Office of Emergency Management and Physical Plant Division are hard at work while many people are sleeping. Christy Giles, Emergency Management director, and her team speak with the National Weather Service, UK Police Department, UK’s Physical Plant Division, the LexingtonFayette County Urban Government, LexTran and Kentucky’s 511 travel hotline before a clear decision can be made. Once Emergency Management finishes its report, Giles gets into contact with Beatty to send Emergency Management’s recommendation. Snow and ice do not have to meet a certain inch accumulation before action is taken, Beatty said, but rather a consideration of all the different conditions. Beatty said the safety of students, faculty and staff is UK’s biggest concern when considering closures because many people don’t live on or near campus. Considering this, road conditions play a large role in determining school closure, Beatty said. And it is not just UK campus roads. UK takes into account the condition of all Lexington as well as Fayette county roads. Beatty then contacts Frank Butler, executive vice president for Finance and Administration, who makes the final decision to close school. The decision is made usually around 4:30 a.m. Even if the decision is to keep school on regular schedule and without delay, UK’s Physical Plant Division pre-treats and plows roads. The division plows and salts 70 roads and 91 parking zones with a fleet of 25 snow plow trucks and 43 salt spreader, tractors and other snow clearing equipment, according to UK PPD’s snow removal plan online. Physical Plant Superintendent George Riddle said this year the division has added even more ground to cover, with the addition of treating the roads and sidewalks around Good Samaritan Hospital. “We have a finite amount of manpower,” Riddle said, “a little bit of robbing Peter to pay Paul. But so far, it has not delayed any of our other operations.” Riddle said their success with managing the new area has been with the “reallocation of manpower.” Hospital areas, like ambulance entrances, hospital parking spaces and hospital driveways take priority before all other campus areas, according to UK PPD’s snow removal plan. Barney Byrum, Lexington safety coordinator for the Lexington Department of Public Works and Development, said they usually send out their plows after one inch of snow accumulates, but they work completely independent from UK’s Physical Plant Division.

Brown adjusts to new role on staff By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
Steve Brown has seen a change among many of his players. When he first arrived at UK in 2003 to become an assistant coach on new UK coach Rich Brooks’ staff, the defensive players were struggling to run a 40yard dash in less than five seconds. Now the defensive players display 40-yard dash times that are more on par with the norm in the speed-oriented Southeastern Conference. However, Brown doesn’t know if it’s now time for him to change; UK head coach Joker Phillips hired Rick Minter as codefensive coordinator in December, and Minter has taken over the play calling and practice preparations from the incumbent defensive coordinator Brown. “I have no idea (if I’ll be on staff next year),” Brown said. “I don’t have any idea what God’s plan is for me, but my number one thing is to make sure that whatever I’m doing, I’m doing

I’m meant to be a teacher—I’ve been blessed with some ability to have played— and I have got to teach them how to do it and if it’s here or wherever, I don’t know.” At his introductory news conference, Minter called Brown a “classy guy” and said that he looked forward to working with him. Staying classy, however, has been tough for Brown in the face

Students can now double up on degrees
of a demotion and a season where the UK defense surrendered 28.5 points per game and 353.9 yards per game. “I’m not going to say it hasn’t been extremely tough,” Brown said. “Hopefully, by my actions and by the way I approached it, some of the players understand if they go through any personal adversity how to handle it as opposed to be being sour.”
One UK program offers students the unique opportunity to work towards earning both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree at the same time. Currently, 28 master’s programs at UK participate in the University Scholars Program, director of Enrollment Management for the College of Arts and Sciences, Jason Pieratt said. “Many master’s programs at UK do not currently participate in University Scholars,” said Pieratt, “but maybe with the Kernel article and other efforts to publicize this program more, other master’s programs at UK will consider becoming part of the University Scholars Program to provide this excellent opportunity to UK students.” Pieratt himself is an example of the success a UK student can obtain through University Scholars. “While simultaneously completing the master’s program in Statistics and bachelor’s in Communication, I had the chance to work as a TA for STA200 and STA570 and also worked as an RA graduate statistical consultant in the College of Agriculture,” Pieratt said. “I completed the Bachelor’s in August 2004 and master’s in December 2004.” University Scholar participant Mark Taylor learned about the program through his advisor during his junior year. “Encouraging advisers to spread the word about the University Scholars Program, especially to upperclassmen, is probably the best way for it to grow,” Taylor said. The admissions requirements for the program are: an overall GPA of 3.2 or higher, a major GPA of 3.5 or higher, senior standing by the first semester of the combined bachelor’s/master’s program (90 or more earned hours), students must be finished with University Studies requirements by the first semester of the combined bachelor’s/master’s program and apply to the Graduate School with the addition of completing the University Scholars form to note how graduate level coursework will count for transcript and tuition purposes. Taylor is glad he overcame some initial anxiety about joining the program. “First hearing about it seemed intimidating, because the first thing that came to mind was, ‘Does this lock me into a commitment to UK for grad school?’ But that is not the case,” Taylor said. “You can apply, be accepted and back down if you choose to do something else when you graduate.” “You have nothing to lose but a little bit of your time in the application process, and so much to gain if UK becomes your choice for graduate school,” Taylor said.
Creason lecture to bring Pulitzer Prize winner
Brown then drew an analogy for reporters, saying it would be like a sports reporter being suddenly demoted to the role of performing “the elementary school weather reporter.” Minter is already in the process of instilling new defensive philosophies. Junior cornerback Randall Burden said that Brown emphasized the secondary helping the front seven more, whereas Minter wants the secondary to back off and try to get more turnovers. There have also been rumors that UK could shift to a 3-4 base defense under Minter and at times during the Cats’ 27-10 loss in the BBVA Compass Bowl, UK went with a three-man defensive line. The transition from Minter to Brown has also been hard on the players. “Everybody is getting along, but obviously it’s hard for us with Coach Brown not calling the plays anymore,” Burden said. “But we have to learn it
On April 5, 2004, Leonard Pitts, Jr. won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. On April 12, 2011, UK students, faculty and members of the Lexington community will have the opportunity to hear Pitts deliver the 34th annual Joe Creason Lecture. For the past 34 years, the School of Journalism and Telecommunications has brought an outstanding journalist to the UK campus to meet and talk with students and deliver a speech on the topic of their choice. “We try to mix it up as far as the type of people we have in here,” Beth Barnes, director of the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, said. “We’re trying to get people who have a national presence, and the Creason gives us that opportunity to go broader. Leonard Pitts fits that bill.” According to leonardpittsjr.com, Pitts has written professionally since 1976 when he was an 18-year-old college student doing reviews for the black entertainment tabloid SOUL. Pitts joined The Miami Herald in 1991,

pass Bowl record. The month of preparation for the bowl game, said Minter, was more of an opportunity to get know a lot of his players and move toward his planned changes. Whether these changes will include Brown is yet to be seen. But even if Brown opts for a change of scenery, he said that witnessing the growth of his players during

Social media promises newsworthiness in 2011 2011 will be the year of the social media. You heard it here first. In a year-end telecast, ABC News reported that Facebook had recently surpassed Google with the number of site hits. That’s right, the search engine giant Google. In my attempts to reason why a social networkSHANNON ing site would get more FRAZER web traffic than a site that Kernel tells you practically anycolumnist thing you want to know, I have come to a conclusion. Social media just has more going for it.
The Jan. 5 swearing-in of Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner in front of the 112th Congress was covered via live feed on Facebook. It was the first time a social media outlet had streamed about the congressional event. Bet you didn’t see that coming in 2007 when Nancy Pelosi was handed the gavel. But you can probably think of several instances when celebrities and politicians have met public outcry or buzz because of something controversial or questionable they posted on a social media site. For instance, “refudiate” wouldn’t have been named the Oxford Dictionary word of the year for 2010. without Sarah Palin, via Twitter.
UK fans are aware of a few student-athletes who have lost their social networking privileges for one reason or another. And who could forget Kanye West’s two-hour Twitter apology to Taylor Swift after he interrupted her during her 2009 MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech? President Obama even has credited much of his pre-election support to Facebook users. His campaign has been dubbed “The Facebook Campaign.” According to the CNBC program “The Facebook Obsession,” college student supporters created the group “Barack Obama for President in 2008” on Facebook, which enabled thousands of students to hear about and attend a rally at George Mason Univer-
sity. Ironically, event coordinators had predicted about 100 students would turn out. Social media encourages the newsworthiness of events otherwise deemed unnewsworthy, and that is precisely why these websites will continue to grow and change with the times. They are the means that enable news to become news. Consider it community journalism with an expansive, Internet-linked community. The power of social media is ever-growing, and I predict we will continue to see this in 2011. Don’t forget, you heard it hear first. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior.

The Green Hornet, starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou, will be released Jan. 14. Rogen dropped more than 20 pounds for the role.
Green Hornet lights up theaters By Roger Moore McClatchy
Perhaps “The Green Hornet” is director Michel Gondry's mocking wink at the Hollywood of masked heroes and the fanboys who made it that way. A violent, clumsy, jokey, badly-plotted and miscast mess, “Hornet” almost makes sense, taken on those terms. Gondry is, after all, the director of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” “Green Hornet” is certainly not like any other masked hero movie, unless you remember “The Spirit” or “Kick-Ass” and the good and very, very bad parts of both of those. It has all the superhero movie ingredients: rich, bored crime-fighting anti-hero, his sidekick, a cooler-than-cool car, and a
supposedly super villain. But Gondry, turns this film of the radio and then 1960s TV series into an epic miscalculation. A slimmed-down Rogen stars as playboy Britt Reid, who tries to ignore everybody's words of condolence at his crusading publisher dad's funeral. Dad (Tom Wilkinson) was always a humorless martinet to Britt. But Britt finds himself impressed by the chauffeur who makes his morning espresso, a gadget freak and martial arts master whose name he never learned. It's Kato (Jay Chou), by the way. Kato gives Britt a sense of purpose. He customizes Britt's father's favorite old Chrysler into Black Beauty, an armedand-pimped-to-the-max muscle car. They set out to play some superhero pranks, which Britt pushes the unhappy editor
(Edward James Olmos) of dad's old newspaper to publicize as the crimes of “The Green Hornet.” He'll be not a hero, but a villain vying for control of the underworld. That'll fool everybody. So will that little mask and fedora Britt dons. Kato will be his sidekick. Their foe? A crime lord, Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz), whose name is so unpronounceable that everyone makes a joke of it. Chudnofsky frets over the fact that he's not scary enough. Cameron Diaz makes a glorified cameo as the office assistant who researches social ills the Hornet and Kato set out to solve. And look for Edward Furlong as a strung-out villainous underling. They have parts too small to share the blame that this soon-to-be-infamous flop will be warrant.
10. Chewbacca: If one were to listen to any “Star Wars” geek for any length of time and who would really want to you might think that this overgrown shaggy dog was one of the eight wonders of the universe. He's not, but I agree that Chewie proved an able sidekick to the dashing Han Solo on the Millennium Falcon. 9. Kato: The Green Hornet wouldn't make it through a single night of crimefighting if not for his martial artist sidekick. 8. Garth Algar: Shwiiiiing. There would be no “Wayne's World” if not for Wayne Campbell's best friend, sidekick and cable show co-host. 7. Tattoo: Played by Herve VilBarney Fife lechaize on the TV show “Fantasy Island,” the diminutive actor was sidekick to the mysterious Mr. Roarke. He was very good at pointing out "de plane, de plane." 6. Dr. Watson: Who would Sherlock Holmes bounce ideas off of if not for his trusty sidekick? 5. Ethel Mertz: Without Ethel, Robin Lucy Ricardo would have been arrested. Ethel was Lucy's partner in crime, but also her conscience. 4. Robin: Unlike the relationship between The Green Hornet and Kato, Batman would get along fine without Robin. Having said that, it's always nice to have someone else around in tights and a mask so it's trick or treat every Chewbacca night. 3. Ed Norton: In Norton's case, Ralph Kramden would just be an obnoxious, abusive loudmouth without the great Ed Norton. 2. Barney Fife: There is a reason that this show runs continually on TV somewhere in the world decades after it Tattoo went off the air, and the reason is Deputy Fife. Don Knotts' Barney is as funny a character as ever existed on the small screen. 1. Tonto: Tonto, who saved the ranger's life and nursed him back to health, is one of the most dignified and honorable characters in fiction. Ethel Mertz
