CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Crime declining after police efforts By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
With the rise of crime on UK’s campus last semester, students began to get worried it would become a trend, but crime has slowed down on campus and in Lexington. Students bought pepper spray and began to use the SAFECATS, Safe And Free Escort for Campus Area
Traveling Students, more often than normal, prompting the idea of another golf cart for the program. UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said no progress has been made from the robberies that occurred between Sept. 14 and Sept. 23 of last year. “There are no new updates on those [crimes] that occurred back in the fall se-
mester,” Monroe said. “Everything seemed to have either declined or stopped after the new efforts we put in place.” Monroe said that UK’s crime reflected the rise that occurred with the city of Lexington, but both have slowed. “At that time, if you look, the crime for the whole city was going on and seeing a

rise,” Monroe said. “Right now we aren’t seeing anything on campus and the city has slowed back down.” With the slowing of such crimes on campus the extra patrols have gone, but those regularly working are keeping an eye on the areas where crimes are likely to occur. “We don’t have any extra officers out,” Monroe said. “We’re back to our normal

staffing, but they are still paying close attention to these hot spots, as well as any areas that may be a concern.” The false UK alert from Jan. 14 was from the initial explanation from the victim, a robbery and assault. After further investigation, police found the medicine the victim claimed to have had stolen and found the injuries from his face were from an earlier
incident, not on campus. The person was reported missing to the city police earlier that morning, Monroe said. Monroe said the incorrect UK Alert went out because the officers initially believed there to be a threat to students. “If [officers] feel it is an immediate threat, they will go See CRIME on page 2

An astronomy professor who filed a religious discrimination suit against UK has asked that it be dismissed. A motion was filed in US District Court Tuesday that says both UK and Martin Gaskell want the case thrown out. Gaskell filed a suit in July 2009 claiming he was passed over for a job at the MacAdam Student Gaskell Observatory because of his religion. Court documents show Gaskell was a top candidate, but e-mails from professors questioned his religious beliefs. Gaskell could not be reached for comment. UK agreed to pay Gaskell and his attorneys $125,000 if he agreed to drop the suit, the settlement said. "The University is pleased that a quick settlement has been reached in this case,” UK attorney Barbara Jones said in a press release. “This successful resolution precludes what would have been a lengthy trial that, ultimately, would not have served anyone's best interests.” A trial was set for Feb. 8.
Loudoun House bares all in exhibit By Joy Priest features@kykernel.com
Lexington’s historical Loudoun House was originally built as a single-family residence in the 1850s — little did they know there will be naked people all around their house for the next two months. The Gothic Revival villa, which sits at 209 Castlewood Dr. has been everything from a home to a community center and now houses the Lexington Art League. Last Friday, LAL kicked off the 25th anniversary of the QX.net Nude art exhibit with a gathering of 500 people, not including the naked patrons that sit, stand and pose in the various art pieces. Guests in attendance included newly-elected mayor Jim Gray and Lex Arts president Jim Clark. Becky Alley, exhibitions and programs director at LAL, describes the exhibit as a combination of tradition and contemporary art. “QX.net Nude celebrates the tradition of the nude figure in art and what we try to highlight here is art by contemporary artists … our work has always included current trends,” Alley said. According to LAL’s website, QX.net Nude received more than 600 submissions for this exhibit and features 50 works of art by contemporary artists from 22 states and British Columbia. “Drawing, photography and video pieces are all on display in this exhibit, including some very large scale pieces we are very excited about,” Alley said.

Comeback cut short UK closes to one, can’t convert down stretch By Mills Armbruster sports@kykernel.com
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- UK was coming back, and coming back, and it seemed like the Cats might be able to grab a victory . But the comeback bid from 20 points down fell two points shy as No. 13 UK (14-4, 2-2 SEC) fell on the road to Alabama (11-7, 31 SEC). Terrence Jones scored 17 points and Doron Lamb added 16, but UK was held to 38 percent shooting by the Tide defense, which gives up the fewest points in the SEC.
Alabama’s JaMychal Green had 18 points and 11 rebounds. The Crimson Tide made 7 of their 14 threes after hitting just 3 of 21 in their first three SEC games. “We gave ourselves a chance to win the game,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “We had no reason to even still be in the game at that point by the way we were playing. Then all of a sudden we have the ball down one with a chance to win.” It looked like Alabama was going to embarrass UK after earning a 20-point lead with 15 minutes to play. And then UK started to chip away. The Cats clamped down on defense, forcing a turnover on seven straight possessions. “I told the team that if we got it down to nine or ten points we could win this game,” said Calipari, who apologized on Twitter after the game for his language during the game,
which was televised on ESPN. UK got to that mark, as the lead was cut to single digits with eight minutes left. The chance to win came soon after. Three times in the final four minutes, UK cut the lead to one point. But the Cats never could recapture a lead, and made 7 of 14 free throws in the second half. With UK trailing by one and under a minute left, Brandon Knight drove the lane, but Alabama bodies were in front of him and he was called for a charge. But on the next possession, DeAndre Liggins drew a charge on Alabama that gave UK another shot with 10.8 seconds left. Brandon Knight had the ball on the perimeter. Doron Lamb circled over to take a handoff, but the two guards weren’t close See COMEBACK on page 4
UK needs to become battle tested NICK CRADDOCK
Kernel columnist Several recognizable college basketball pundits have said this year’s version of the UK men’s basketball team could make a deeper run than last year’s edition of the Cats in the NCAA Tournament. Even this not-so well-known basketball columnist can tell you that this year’s Cats have to learn how to perform better on the road before thinking about improving on last season’s Elite Eight appear-
ance. UK put together another uninspired performance in a Southeastern Conference road game on Tuesday night, falling to the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. The game was eerily reminiscent of the Cats’ conference opening loss to the Georgia Bulldogs in Stegeman Coliseum on Jan. 8 when the Cats’ early self-inflicted mistakes (a combination of poor shooting, poor defense and poor rebounding) created a deficit that couldn’t be overcome despite a furious late rally, including a chance to win the game on the final possession.

CRIME Continued from page 1 on and issue the UK Alert out, for safety,” Monroe said. Monroe said he got called from several parents about the incident on Jan. 14, and he returned their calls and explained the situation to the thankful parents. Some students are still worried about their safety around campus, while others have never been worried, like Elisa Underwood, a business management sophomore.
“I didn’t feel unsafe even when the robberies were happening,” Underwood said. “I’m not really alarmed [when I get a UK Alert]. If I got it while I was walking out at night by myself then I would be like OK, there’s someone there.” Christina Nguyen, a psychology/pre-med freshman, got worried when the robberies began, but has lessened her worries because of several factors. “When I first got here and heard [about] all the robberies, I didn’t feel safe at
all,” Nguyen said. “It wasn’t until I got my pepper spray, now I feel safe, because I got myself pepper spray.” Bonnie Lewis, a history freshman, usually feels safe on campus, even after the robberies, because she has taken some of the advice officials have given after the robberies. “I feel safe generally, it’s just when I’m in K Lot by myself that I get scared, but I have my pepper spray,” Bonnie Lewis said. “I’ve had friends who have been followed on campus before.” Bonnie Lewis’ friend,
Ashley Lewis, was the one being followed, where she and a friend got frightened after being followed at night into a building and down several halls. “There was a time when my roommate and I were walking to south campus from north campus. We saw these guys on north campus and we saw them again on south campus,” Ashley Lewis said. “They crossed the street when we came, and my roommate kind of freaked out. We went in this building and they followed us in there
and down a couple of hall ways.”
“Everything seemed to have either declined or stopped after the new efforts.” JOE MONROE UK Police Chief
Ashley Lewis said that she feels safe on campus, but less than she did before the robberies occurred.
Monroe said he will hold another community forum for students, faculty, staff and others to attend and give UKPD feedback. He is also looking forward to doing a report card where those on campus can fill out and rate the UKPD, letting them know what they would like to see more of and what they are already doing good with. SAFECATS is available until 1:30 a.m. and can be reached at 257-SAFE. After that, you can call UKPD via cell phone at #UKPD.

Safety experts have a new pet peeve related to distracted driving. In addition to texting or talking on a cell phone while driving, lap dogs and other pets left unrestrained inside moving vehicles pose a major distraction that could be deadly, a new study released Wednesday warns motorists. About two-thirds of dog owners surveyed by the AAA organization said they routinely drive while petting or playing with their dogs, sometimes even giving them food or water while maneuvering through traffic. It has been a common sight for many years to see dogs hanging their heads out of open car windows with their ears flapping in the breeze. But in the cocoon that the automobile has become, more drivers are nonchalantly cradling their dogs atop their laps or perching the animals on their chests with the pet's front paws clutching the driver's neck or shoulders.

NUDE Continued from page 1 Fifth Third 4th Fridays are the optimal times to visit the QX.net Nude exhibit. January 28 will be the 15th anniversary of Fifth Third bank sponsoring these Fridays that include food, fun and live entertainment for $7. “We’re expecting 800-900 people on Jan. 28 for 4th Friday. There’s going to be a raffle drawing, Billy’s Barbeque and DJ Miss Cass will be providing the music,” Alley said. Devan Vannarsdall, a recent UK grad, feels LAL is the perfect college student getaway. As an Arts Administration major, Vannarsdall enjoyed the Loudoun House so much that he volunteered for the League and was an intern for it during the summer of 2009. “The nude art exhibit is definitely successful as something classic yet still able to challenge our social views,” Vannarsdall said. Students can take advantage of the cheapest membership fee at the League going for $25, which includes free admission to 4th Friday events and discounts on art purchases. QX.net Nude can be visited Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. For a more extensive view of events related to this exhibit visit LAL at www.lexingtonartleague.org.

A New Year’s resolution to make grammar sing All I wanted for Christmas was a comma. That small curl could have brought peace on Earth for my family. Instead, some Scrooge set out erroneously to decrease the surplus punctuation, then added insult to injury by dangling a modifier rather than Buck Ryan holly and lowercasing words rather than capGuest italizing on the columnist Christmas spirit. Before long our holiday season turned into a bloody awful scene that could inspire a Coen brothers sequel, “True Wit.” I offer this cautionary tale in hopes that you will make a New Year’s resolution to watch your grammar so that 2011 will be known as the Writer’s Year of the 3 C’s: clear, concise and coherent, not crime, confusion and cacophony. Our holiday episode began innocently enough when I opened a Christmas card and saw this scribbled inside: “Happy Holidays to you and your wife Anne.” What an outrage, I thought. Imagine using a sacred occasion to accuse a man of a crime like bigamy, if not polygamy.
By dropping the comma before “Anne,” my alleged and now former friend implied that I was keeping another wife or two on the side. The holiday card might as well have read: “Happy Holidays to you and your wife Anne. Say hi to your wives Sally and Martha, too!” There’s something romantically monogamous about a comma. Without it you feel naked. With it, as in “my wife, Anne,” that little curl shouts, “You are my one and only!” How lovely the comma and how sad when someone thoughtlessly drops it. The holiday card rolled on with a story or two, including this line: “Looming large on the horizon, I saw the Christmas tree we would chop down.” Feeling charitable, I was not. I couldn’t help but think my accuser had obviously been spending too much time at the cookie tray. After all, “looming,” a present participle acting as an adjective, modifies the first word after the comma. So what was looming? My fatheaded friend, of course! Then came this: “After we brought our tree home, we went to a catholic church that offers only one english service. There we saw our new mayor, looking like nei-
ther a democrat nor a republican.” Saints preserve us, I thought. Did he really mean a universal church offering religion with a backspin? Could the new mayor be a political party pooper taking his cues out of ancient Greece? My mind reeled in search of a capital “C” to restore the Roman Catholic tradition, it ping-ponged back and forth in pursuit of a capital “E” to uphold the English language, and it recalled our new mayor was a registered Democrat, even though he was elected in a non-partisan race. No, my friends, not all business people are members of the Republican Party. If you feel my pain, having read your own holiday cards, or Facebook greetings, or e-mails, please let me know. Send along those examples so I can use them as I develop a new onecredit required course on grammar for all our journalism students at the University of Kentucky. It’s a battle not just for language but for credibility, and we can use all the reinforcements we can get. All I want for next Christmas is a comma, as in “Thank you, Professor Ryan.” Buck Ryan is director of the Citizen Kentucky Project of UK’s Scripps Howard First Amendment Center.

A Canuck returns the shout out NICK CRADDOCK
Kernel columnist Consuming Godiva chocolates makes for unique acceptance speeches, particularly Paul Giamatti’s at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards. I’m returning the favor and giving a shout out to Giamatti, who thanked the entire nation of Canada during his acceptance speech after he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for
his lead role in “Barney’s Version.” “Paul Gia-who?” you ask. Great question. Giamatti is that guy with the thick-rimmed glasses who was in that movie “Sideways” with that other dude and they gallivant through California’s wine country. It also starred the Asian woman from “Grey’s Anatomy,” who I know is named Sandra Oh, but I don’t necessarily think that helps people visualize her in the same way my initial descriptor does. Giamatti also played John Adams (the poor man’s version of George Washington)
in the aptly named miniseries “John Adams.” I heard it was well done and historically accurate, so basically there were a lot of scenes showing angry rants by politicians with powdered whigs. Anyway, knowledge of the above brings you up to speed on Giamatti’s career before he took the stage Sunday. He started by saying he was a “little jacked up” because he had been munching on the Godiva chocolates provided at the tables. He won the audience over with his little har-dee-har joke, a good way to buy himself some time to collect his thoughts so he didn’t say anything stupid.
Memoirs of a Canuck
The speech was moving along swiftly, then Giamatti started to say how he enjoyed filming in Montreal. As an aside, the fact that this is a Canadian drama film seems to contradict the whole Motion Picture Musical or Comedy category, which he should’ve addressed during the time before the wrap-it-up music. “I salute the great nation of Canada,” said Giamatti,
who then quietly added a quick thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press, which determines the winners. As a Canadian, I’d even start by thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press because I’d want to receive future Golden Globes for the mantle. Most people also thank the big man upstairs, the Notorious B.I.G., God, children (not children in general, but usually their own), fellow cast members (those that were less talented and not recognized for their work, but who are loved nonetheless), the director (who always pushes them to give more in every scene), writers (who
crafted such a wonderful character), the guy at the Kraft Service table (who brought delicious varieties of cheeses for the crew) and their beautiful (or not-sobeautiful) spouse, but thanking Canada? Not sure if most of Giamatti’s peers would agree that Canada deserves thanks for just being there, but I’ll take the shout outs any way they come. Even so, easy on the Godiva chocolates next time, Giamatti. My country is a little creeped out when you profess love for it on national television so soon into this relationship.
Club Sports Fair showcases student alternatives Varsity teams are not the only option at UK By Geff Giancarlo features@kykernel.com
Attention paid to UK sports can normally be divided neatly into two camps: Football and basketball. Occasionally the soccer, volleyball and hockey teams garner some excitement, but for the most part, as with most other colleges, touchdowns and threes are what people want to see. There are a multitude of sports programs at UK that are under the radar. This Wednesday at the Johnson
“
Center many sports teams will have the chance to make their presence known during the Club Sports Fair 5-7 p.m. Officers from different clubs will be there to present information and get people excited about club sports. Club sports coordinator Mark Lattin said, “The idea is to give them the opportunity to promote their sports and for those interested to get information on those sports, and to meet the people who are in charge.”
In attendance will be about 12 different clubs, including various field sports, martial arts clubs, the volleyball club and trap/skeet representatives. Even though they are not as intense and rigorous as varsity sports programs, club sports have a lot going for them. “There are two main benefits,” Lattin said, “If you were involved in varsity sports [in high school], but didn’t want to devote so
much time to it in college, [club sports] give the opportunity to continue with the sport you love. Also, if you were ever interested in a sport you didn’t get to try, this is a great way to get involved.” Forestry freshman Blake Grigsby plays rugby for UK and spoke about how easy it was to get involved. “A couple of rugby guys helped me move in at the beginning of the semester, and said I should come out and play sometime. So I showed up at the field one day and was learning and playing immediately.”
...If you were ever interested in a sport you didnt get to try, this is a great way to get involved.”
TESTED Continued from page 1 It’s hard to tell if UK’s comeback effort, one that started after it was staring at a 20-point deficit, was more a result of it playing well or a lack of closing ability on the part of Alabama, which at one point turned the ball over seven straight possessions in the final 10 minutes of the second half. Whatever the answer to above question, the game was a stark departure from the Cats’ dazzling performances in their first two SEC games, both blowouts, at
COMEBACK Continued from page 1 enough to each other and Alabama’s Ben Eblen stuck his hand out and got a deflection. “The guy muscles Doron off,” Calipari said. “We show it on tape all the time and say this is why you lose close games.” Alabama hit one of two free throws for a two-point lead, and UK was inbounding the ball with 2.5 seconds left under its own basket. The pass went to Terrence Jones around half court, who turned and heaved a shot from half court. It clanked high off the backboard, as the last chance at a dramatic come back fell two points short. But while the comeback was valiant, the original deficit was UK’s fault. A lack of energy and careless passing contributed to five early turnovers, and UK was getting outrebounded and outmuscled. Alabama outrebounded UK 41-34.

sports Rupp Arena, where the Cats are undefeated during UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari’s tenure. The Cats’ other nonconference losses this season — Connecticut and North Carolina — came on neutral and away courts, respectively. Granted, Alabama sported a perfect record (9-0) at Coleman Coliseum entering the game and winning on the road isn’t supposed to be easy, but Alabama, which was shooting 3-of-21 from beyond the arc prior to the game, shot a blistering 7-of-14 on its 3-point attempts against UK. Alabama head coach Anthony Grant acknowledged he was worried about his team’s 3-point
shooting, so this doesn’t speak volumes of UK’s defense. The Cats’ postseason games won’t be played in Lexington, so these young Cats have to find a way to translate their home form on the road. And sooner rather than later. No matter the situation last year, it seemed the Cats could always depend on the heroics of John Wall and the rest of a roster that oozed the swagger one might expect from a team with five future pros on the roster. However, none of UK’s talented freshmen, or veterans for that matter, took charge of the game in the same way. No one seemed
particularly vocal with teammates and Calipari was the one doing the most of the talking. No one put his team on his shoulder and won the game on a final shot. The Cats began the second half trailing by seven points, which is by no means a staggering mountain to climb. As encouraging as it was that the Cats didn’t fold when they were down by 20 points, the Cats need to show that they are up to the challenge of playing on the road earlier, otherwise it’ll be an uphill climb the rest of the year.

“They manhandled us,” Calipari said. “The first however long they controlled the game.” This was the kind of night it was in the first 25 minutes:
In the opening minutes of the second half, Josh Harrellson missed an uncontested dunk. On the other end, Alabama drilled an uncontested three. “We took a lot of bad
shots,” Calipari said. “We had some guys out there who just couldn’t play that game. We had young guys and we made young inexperienced mistakes.”
Aside from the exercise that he gets from playing twice a week for a couple hours and on weekend games, Grigsby identified another benefit. “It’s a great
way to make friends and meet people. Hanging out with the rugby guys is great, and I probably wouldn’t have met them if not for the club.”
