Changes in season causes depression among students By Joy Priest features@kykernel.com
This Monday was “Blue Monday,” a date that has been publicized as the most depressing day of the year, and this may be quite accurate considering the dreary winter day it fell on. It may also be related to the condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). According to WebMD online, SAD is a category of depression that occurs in a person during the same season each year. It is more frequently associated with the winter months where natural light from the sun is limited due to shorter days. This affects natural sleep patterns and serotonin, a hormone that has a lot to do with one’s mood. The website also mentions that young people are diagnosed with SAD more often than older people, as the disease diagnoses decrease with age. Lori Molenaar, APRN in the Student Behavioral Health department at UK, describes SAD as a clinical depression that is related to the quality and amount of fullspectrum light that hits the retina in a person’s eye. “It’s a condition, usually in this part of the country, that will manifest from October and persist until about

Human nutrition sophomore Corey Delaney exercises at the Johnson Center Tuesday afternoon. April and a little thereafter,” Molenaar said. “The retina doesn’t receive enough light, and so therefore doesn’t trigger the brain to release enough anti-depressant neurotransmitters.” Treatment for SAD can be as simple as going outdoors more to expose the retina to more natural sunlight. “Don’t wear sunglasses outdoors,” Molenaar said. “There are also phototherapy light boxes. We have them in town, they’re not extremely exotic. They have been around for 30 years. Grogan’s Medical supply carries
them.” (See sidebar for details). Molenaar is a subscriber to the light therapy option, which she explains can easily be done at home. After purchasing the phototherapy light box, one simply needs to sit under this light, approximately 18 inches away, for about 10 to 15 minutes every morning. Molenaar recommended only doing this in the morning because the light will affect a human’s natural circadian rhythm and give an energy boost for the day, which would keep you awake when you should be See SAD on page 4

Concert brings Americana/Soul Coffee House features music and slam poetry By Luke Glaser features@kykernel.com
The Student Activities Board is bringing one of the most iconic college atmospheres to the University of Kentucky. Coffee House, an idea formulated between the Cultural Arts and Concert committees, will feature a musician, poetry, an intimate setting, and of course, coffee. “We based the idea around the fact that students simply want a place to relax in a nice atmosphere,” said Amanda Rambo, Director of Cultural Arts for SAB. “Music and poetry can bring that”. An iconic coffee house needs to feature an iconic coffee house musician, in this case Andrea Davidson, a Kentucky-bred guitarist fresh off a stint in California. “We wanted to start out with a big show and bring a big artist,” said Derek Operle, Recruitment Chair for the Concert Committee. “She has a great sound to her, and it’s exciting to listen to something on campus that’s not mainstream.” After practicing and playing locally for 5-6 years, Davidson packed everything in her car and headed out west to meet people and play
gigs. She has recently returned home to reconnect with fans and play in some familiar places. A rising musician who has played at many celebrated functions, including the HullabaLou concert series, Davidson is nonetheless ecstatic about coming to UK. “I feel like the luckiest broad in the world,” she said. Also gifted on the piano and harmonica, Davidson will be playing music in the Americana/soul style. “I’m not sure I can put a style on it,” she said, “I just know it comes from the right place.” The only thing missing from the perfect coffee house recipe is poetry, which will be delivered by UK’s Slam Poetry team. “Slam Poetry is a different way to reach out to students,” Rambo said, “the team has won multiple awards as well.” The Coffee House begins at 7:00 p.m. tonight at the Starbucks in Commons Market. Chris Duncan, Director of Concerts, says that a Coffee House was an idea originated by the students. “We took a survey, and lots of people responded that they wanted a coffee house.” Complimentary beverages will be provided by Starbucks, Andrea Davidson will be selling CD’s and SAB will also be raffling off a beret in the coffee house style. “We’re really excited” said Duncan, “It’s going to be a cold day, we have free coffee, a cool atmosphere, pretty much the perfect scene.”
Students are being tracked. Governments, corporations and anyone in the world can know where you are right now. This is not the plot for a new Michael Bay movie. This is modern technology. Google Maps, Facebook Places, foursquare and similar applications have added the concept of space to social media. Dr. Mathew Zook will examine these topics and others in his Wired Worlds: Global Information Geographies class. “In a nutshell, it’s how information technology is allowing changes in our society,” Zook said. “The thing I’m particularly looking at, since I’m a geographer, is the increased use of location with these kind of applications.” Zook’s class is part of UK general education reform and is an A&S 100 course. “My research is essentially being condensed down into this class,” Zook said. These new technological developments are allowing for a better understanding of people and their movement, which can revolutionize See COURSE on page 4

Sorority looking for first home By Becca Clemons news@kykernel.com
Plans to build a sorority house for Alpha Phi have not yet found a strong foundation. The sorority is going to postpone its request for a zone change at the LexingtonFayette County Planning Commission hearing Thursday. Senior planner Jimmy Emmons said Alpha Phi will postpone its request for a rezoning of 253, 255 and 261 East Maxwell St. from an R-4 high density apartment zone to an R-5 high rise apartment zone, in order to build a structure that could accommodate 45-50 residents. Alpha Phi International Fraternity Executive Director Linda Kahangi said in an email to the Kernel that Alpha Phi applied for a UK-owned property at 321 Columbia Ave., but it was awarded to another organization. “We have been searching diligently for a suitable property since our colonization,” Kahangi said, “and have been open to any existing facilities or lots that would provide for a safe, well-kept neighborhood location near campus for See SORORITY on page 2
Miller needs consistency in role as leader Junior guard doesn’t need to find stardom Following a long and arduous search, Darius Miller was finally found in South Carolina on Saturday. For a player that has been accused by UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari of completely disappearing from NICK games not only CRADDOCK this season, but Kernel also last season, columnist Miller’s 18 points against the Gamecocks — two shy of matching a career high—could be the breakthrough Calipari had wanted to see from Miller. “I hope so,” Miller said with a chuckle. “My teammates did a great job of providing opportunities for me and I just tried to be aggressive and take them.” Miller, the quintessential team player, attributed several of his open looks as a result of South Carolina defenders playing help defense in an attempt to stop freshmen guards Brandon Knight and Doron Lamb. Herein lays the problem with the former Mr. Kentucky Basket-
ball: He’s not lacking the skill set of a star player, but the consistent assertive attitude. With another group of superstar freshmen playing alongside him this year, the trap of shirking responsibility is an easy one to fall into. But that’s OK; In many ways, it’s refreshing that Miller is not a me-first player because that would be equally detrimental to the team as when he’s virtually disappeared from the court. Calipari has repeatedly voiced his frustrations about Miller in the hopes of sparking him to blossom into a go-to guy under his tutelage, and although it was only for one game, Miller finally showed that he is capable of playing to the expectations of his coach. “(Miller) was aggressive, that’s all I’m asking him to do,” Calipari said. “He had four turnovers and about three balls jerked out of his hand, at the end of the day, I want everything; I want him to grab all those balls, be tough with it so he doesn’t turn it over and play aggressive and the reason is that I think he’s that good. “Today he looked like one of the best players in our league, would you not say?” If Miller continually provides the kind of performance he did on Saturday that would be gravy for the Cats because opposing teams would be hard-pressed to stop the See MILLER on page 4

Cats’ Docherty a face of the program UK ice hockey searches for success behind 10th-year head coach PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFF
By Gary Hermann sports@kykernel.com
Despite every game on the UK ice hockey schedule being pivotal, the Cool Cats are playing with ice water in their veins, and head coach Rob Docherty is at the helm. Docherty is in his 10th season with the UK ice hockey program, and will complete five-and-a-half years as head coach at the end of the season. Since taking over, Docherty has solidified UK as a legitimate team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association and made one appearance at nationals. “We are a top-ten contender all the time,” Docherty said. Docherty is very confi-
dent in this year’s team. The Cool Cats will be headed to a fifth appearance at regionals since he took over according to Docherty. Docherty originally came to the Bluegrass state for work. He was brought in at UK to “help as an assistant,” and the team has “been pretty successful since then,” Docherty said. Like many Americans would grow up playing baseball or football, Docherty grew up playing hockey in Canada. He went on to play in Europe, including stops in Sweden and Germany. Docherty has enjoyed his time as UK’s coach. “Our graduates have kept in touch,” Docherty said. “There is a lot of respect back
Head coach Rob Docherty claps after a play against Lindenwood University at Lexington Ice Center on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010. to the program.” Docherty did not hesitate when he said the highlight of his career was, “watching the boy’s faces when we made it to nationals.” Docherty was the 20072008 ACHA Division 2 Southeast Regional Coach of the Year and has coached three All-Southeast Region players since the 07-08 season: Forward Mike Barnes (07-08), Forward Tony Valerino (08-09) and Forward Taylor Vit (09-10). Senior goalie Jim Borgaard acknowledged the way Docherty led the team following the death of Vit earlier
this year. “He did a great job holding the team together," Borgaard said. UK hockey General Manager Ian Ward said Docherty has been “wonderful” and “excellent” as head coach. “There is very little to say; he took over and we have done very well ever since,” Ward said. Borgaard said Docherty is great with both scheming effective plays as well as taking different personalities and building a team chemistry. “He cares about every one of us,” Borgaard said.

SAD Continued from page 1 getting sufficient rest if done at night. A second treatment option is making an appointment at the Student Behavioral Health Clinic to be seen by a physician who can prescribe anti-depressant medications. “We would generally prescribe anti-depressants for six months to a year with Seasonal Affective Disorder, and it would be okay to start the meds in October and take them through April,” Molenaar said. “We don’t always go to medicine as the first option. There are life changes
MILLER Continued from page 1 trio of Knight, Lamb and Terrence Jones in addition to Miller, who when he plays like he did, Jones said “is the best player in our league at his position.” A more realistic scenario would be for Miller to find a happy medium: play somewhere in the middle between near-perfection and a nightmarish-absence. Reaching stardom in his remaining time at UK isn’t a necessary goal for Miller to accomplish, especially given
we encourage people to make and then if that doesn’t work we’ll go to medicine. It’s okay to combine the treatments as well.” Corey Proffitt of Corey Proffitt Studios, Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, offers a third treatment option called a Lomi Lomi massage for his SAD patients, which he has discovered to be extremely effective in treating symptoms of the disease. Proffitt, a state-licensed ,nationally-certified graduate of the Asheville School of Advanced Bodywork in Asheville, North Carolina, describes Lomi Lomi as a traditional Hawaiian-style massage. “This massage technique
uses long, slow strokes from ankle to shoulder which improves circulation, lowers blood pressure and heart rate,” Proffitt said. “What I’ve been told by my clients, who tend to express a more seasonal depression, is it seems to give them an increased energy level and help them to sleep through the night.” Proffitt wrote an article on Lomi Lomi which can be found on his website www.relaxyoudeserveit.com. The article described the Lomi Lomi massage as a technique that releases endorphins and leaves a person feeling more energized mentally and physically, resulting in improved thought and focus.
the talented crop of freshmen Calipari will bring in again next year. Instead, Miller finding consistency will suffice because he also brings poise and leadership, qualities that sometimes appear non-existent in the star freshmen. Late in Saturday’s game, it was Miller instructing teammates to get in place to rebound a free throw in the midst of the Gamecocks’ furious comeback attempt, not the headline-grabbing Jones or Knight. “The reason I was still coaching and getting on guys is because they didn’t understand that we could lose the
game. They’re not veteran enough,” Calipari said. Miller may not always be aggressive enough, but he is veteran enough. It’s for this reason that he realized a meeting among the upperclassmen to avoid three straight road losses in conference play. Still, the bigger realization may yet be the untapped potential Miller has been trying to harness for what seems like forever and may have, at long last, found. Nick is a journalism senior.

COURSE Continued from page 1 such things as advertising and traffic engineering. “Space has been a missing component from a lot of information technology,” Zook said. These new technologies are posing many questions on privacy issues. “If anyone wants to track you down, people are very easy to find lots of information about on-line already, but (before) they didn’t know where you were,” Zook said. For Zook, this new technology is not a question of good or bad. “For me it’s about how this data might get used," Zook said. "What are we comfortable with? How comfortable are we with the government knowing where we are? Corporations knowing where we are? People we don’t know knowing where we are? These things are developing and it’s not a simple answer.” In the modern world, single entities have control over millions of people’s personal information and have the power to put in place privacy settings. “There are some concerns about how these systems are being set up right now and the degree to which there are some entities, generally companies and corporations, who have an enormous amount of power over how this information gets shared,” Zook said.
Undecided freshman Ross Bishop said he is intrigued by the topics the course will cover this semester. “It will be interesting to see how this technology has changed the ways we communicate,” Bishop said. Zook wants his students to understand how important this moment in history is for technology in the years to come. “There are decisions being made right now that are going to have huge implications for how we move forward, how we live our lives in the future,” Zook said. Zook also wants the students to understand this new technology can be used for many purposes and that it is not as simple as a question of good or bad. “There is no such thing as a standard path for the adoption of technology,” Zook said. “This technology can be used in many different ways. The same systems that allowed a group of people to come around the world to organize relief to the Haitian earthquake is the same technology that allows drug cartels or political terrorists to organize.” Regardless of one’s personal beliefs on this spacial technology and how it can be used, Zook said it is ingrained in our everyday lives. “Your cell phone knows where you are located at all times because it needs to be able to get the signal to give you the cell phone call,” Zook said. “It makes it very easy to track people. “

“Usually the affects can be felt immediately. I encourage my patients to get these massage treatments every two weeks and I definitely don’t recommend going more than a month,” Proffitt said. Molenaar encouraged students to catch this form of clinical depression as early as possible to avoid issues that might interfere with fall finals and spring midterms. “If you think something is wrong, come in and get an assessment so we can figure out how to help you,” Molenaar said.

Exams and effective study strategies aid in mental retention Maybe college really is for dummies. I take that back. Maybe the first two years of college are for dummies. According to an Associated Press report, a SHANNON study of more than 2,300 FRAZER undergraduate students Kernel from 24 schools found 45 columnist percent of students “show no significant improvement in the key measures of critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing by the end of their sophomore years.” This is major news, particularly for the federal government and other education advocates, who continue to search for ways to boost college graduation rates “to remain competitive globally.” If this study is any indication, the anticipated increase in college graduates won’t nec-
essarily be the equivalent of an increased number of people in the workforce with college-level competencies. The findings make sense: Many freshman and early sophomores don’t know what they want to pursue and spend their first couple of years in college figuring that out by taking a variety of classes. Also, college program requirements dictate a set number of liberal arts courses that must be taken to help make students wellrounded, which many students choose to “get over with,” in their freshman and sophomore years. Because later major-specific classes don’t relate to those early classes, students don’t actively retain the information. Then again, maybe the problem isn’t what the students are studying during that time period in college; perhaps the reason they don’t remember as much is because of their study methods. A Jan. 23 New York Times article cited
research results, published in the journal Science, which found that students who take an exam after reading a passage actually retain 50 percent more than students who repeatedly study the passage or draw diagrams to show what they learned. Researchers found the latter two study methods “seem to give students the illusion that they know material better than they do.” Speaking from experience, a notebook full of lecture notes and diagrams does not mean an exam full of checkmarks and positive comments from professors. So, professors, go on and give us students the exam already! With both the types of classes taken and the study methods for those classes, retrieval is key. In the New York Times article, U.C.L.A. psychologist Dr. Robert Bjork said, “What we recall becomes more recallable in the future. In a sense you are practicing what you are going to need to do later.”
The article went on to say, “It may also be that the struggle involved in recalling something helps reinforce it in our brains.” So what’s a student to do? The first study recommended students study alone, and read and write more to ensure better retention in the first few years of college. And despite what all those student organizations tell you at your freshman advising conference and during K Week, experts said students who participate in Greek affairs actually lower their rates of learning, and those who work off-campus, volunteer or are members of campus clubs have no difference in their learning ability. Want to impress your college friends at your 20-year reunion by whipping out something from that 101 class, where you met them? I suggest you start studying now … but not too much, and be sure to give yourself a mental quiz later. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. Email sfrazer@kykernel.com.

Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — It's a good day to go exercise, burn some toxins and get reinvigorated ... even if you don't feel like it. You'll feel great afterwards. Others notice. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Someone you respect suggests a dynamic plan for the day. Fit this into your thinking without losing track of personal responsibilities. Call home to check in. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 — Use all of your logical notes to create just the right tone. Others feel lucky to share the song. For something beautiful, allow change to occur in its own rhythm. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8 — Ask each team member to share their logic about today's challenges. Obstacles
become opportunities when you have multiple options and can form a consensus. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Someone enters your work sphere with a new, natural solution. Everything suddenly makes more sense. Listen well, and you can use those ideas for impressive results. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 — Don't drag your feet when someone poses a serious question. Look for answers close to home, and handle any problems on a basic, practical level. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — Conversations with an older person show the challenge and potential in a household activity. Add physical strength to someone else's skills to get it done. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6 — An older person points out a different kind of logic. Ask questions to understand the details. Then make the changes
that you now see clearly. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Carry new ideas back to the group as soon as you understand them fully yourself. This relieves any anxiety, and provides new structures for collaboration. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Put on your professional role to handle any practical objections. Although you have creative ideas, logic rules now. Save those imaginative thoughts. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Tackle business issues with a creative, open mind. Each obstacle gives way, as you perceive its inherent opportunity. Final results are brilliant. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6 — One group member is not listening to suggestions. Everything seems stuck. A complete change in direction may work, to look at it from another side. MCT

Where is the style, Kentucky? Jersey girl analyzes trends in new fashion column It was just three short years ago when I arrived to UK from my home in the beautiful Garden State to pursue my degrees in merchandising, apparel, and textiles and journalism. Yes, I am in fact a Jersey Girl. However, fist pumping is not my forte. Growing up so close to New York City and being a merchandising major, it is only natural for nothing to SHELISA make my heart beat more MELENDEZ than the word “fashion.” Kernel Since my time spent here in columnist Kentucky, I’ve realized one very important thing … there aren’t many ways to stay connected to the fashion world, or more importantly, places to shop. I just don’t find it reasonable calling a trip to Fayette Mall shopping. Don’t get me wrong, Fayette Mall has some descent stores, but at what point do you get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again? When walking around campus, I tend to see a lot of girls wearing the same J. Crew outfits paired with the same tall riding boots. Although there is nothing wrong with J. Crew ,or riding boots for that matter, I think it is time to expand the colorful horizons of fashion. After all, retail stores don’t simply think up these styles on their own and “poof,” popular trends magically appear on the clothing racks. No, no, no my fellow fashionistas – it all starts on the glamorous runway. It isn’t uncommon for major designers such as Valentino, Givenchy and Alberta Ferretti to intimidate those who are unfamiliar with their work – fear of the unknown always plays a factor, but don’t let that discourage you. However, you can be confident in knowing that the devil does indeed wear Prada and
SORORITY Continued from page 1 our members.” Alpha Phi has been working with an architect on plans to demolish and rebuild on East Maxwell. The current plans, presented to the city’s planning commission in December, are for a three-story building to house 45 to 50 undergraduate women and a live-in house director. The house would be about 17,500 to 18,500 square feet, but those numbers could vary based on the final design. However, some community members and the Division of Planning Staff are opposed to the plan. The issue is not with the sorority using the current properties but rather with demolishing them to make way for a new, larger structure. “The Division of Plan-
Michael Kors contributes more to the fashion industry than simply being a judge on Project Runway. Unfortunately for those who do not live in large metro areas like myself, it is hard to stay connected with the latest and greatest news, trends, accessories, shoes and runway fashions. For example, you probably wouldn’t know just a few days ago Women’s Wear Daily (the ultimate fashionista’s bible) reported that Louis Vuitton’s spring menswear campaign features its first Asian face, the Kardashian sisters are set to launch their own fashion line called The Kardashian Kollection at Sears stores in August, or that Heidi Klum just signed a fragrance deal with Coty Beauty. Contrary to popular belief, fashion is a complex and ever changing industry, in which everyone can’t seem to get enough of. Common Thread aims to deliver news, style tips and ideas for any and everything fashion related – ultimately inspiring the inner fashionista in everyone. I would like to leave you all with an affectionate quote by the great CoCo Chanel. “I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.”
ning Staff is recommending disapproval of the zone change because our comprehensive plan recommends specifically in this area that the area remain architecturally intact,” Emmons said, “and by recommending approval of the R-5 zoning, we are in fact promoting the destruction of those three buildings.” “We are recommending approval of the sorority as a conditional use. … We don’t see that the sorority in and of itself would be a bad neighbor for the surrounding properties.” According to UK’s Hazard Mitigation Plan documenting the population of Greek organizations, the average number of beds for many of the houses on campus is 37, making the proposed house one of higher occupancy than the other Greek residences. Kahangi said the proposed house’s architect has met with the city many times and has modified the plans based on
feedback and concerns expressed by the city and neighborhood association. “We have worked, and will continue to work, to address the concerns of all the constituent groups and design a facility that will fit well into the neighborhood and make a positive aesthetic contribution,” she said. The Urban County Council makes the final decision on whether to accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation or hold a second public hearing. Alpha Phi International Fraternity established its UK chapter, Iota Nu, last fall and has been looking for a house, UK Alpha Phi President Kate Huggs said. The sorority first gave out bids to about 250 girls, Huggs said, and 170 girls are members as of the end of December. Huggs said the sorority currently meets in the ChemPhys building.
