Protest draws locals
Greek Sing reaches $100k
UK graduate organizes anti-Mubarak rally

Despite frigid temperatures, about 100 people gathered downtown Saturday to show their support for Egyptians who have been protesting President Hosni Mubarak’s regime in the Middle East. The rally called for democracy and freedom of expression for all people, especially those participating in anti-government protests in Egypt. “The movement in Egypt is a people’s movement,” Noha El-Maraghi, an Egyptian native and UK journalism graduate, said. “I think (the movement) is a common cause that everybody feels a connection to.” El-Maraghi organized Saturday’s rally, which started out as a Facebook event and quickly garnered support throughout the community. “I started out by inviting all of my friends on Facebook, and then it kind of snowballed into a huge event,” El-Maraghi said. The rally drew a lively crowd carrying Egyptian flags and signs featuring slogans such as “Yes You Can,” and “Walk Like an Egyptian.” Several chanted, “A people united will never be defeated.” Former Lexington Mayor Teresa Isaac spoke to the assembly outside the Fayette County courthouses during the rally. “We are here today in Lexington to show our support for the people in Egypt to express their views freely,” Isaac said. Terry Anderson, a former chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, also commented on the situation Saturday, praising his colleagues at Al Jazeera for continuing to report on the story in Egypt despite government resistance. “We have all spent the last 12 days being amazed by what’s been going on in Cairo,” Anderson said. El-Maraghi explained that this amazement is what ultimately led her to plan the rally in Lexington. “We wanted to get up and do something about it,” El-Maraghi said.

Evelyn Bologna, one of the tournament directors and a UK graduate, has been helping coordinate the event for 31 years. “My favorite part is to see how truly great these athletes are,” Bologna said. The tournament play is more than just friendly competition, including hard fouls, battles for position and plenty of trash talk. The men and women competing play a rough and fast paced game with and hard-nosed defense.
Players were routinely bumped and bruised, but the action was never called to a halt from the physicality, proving the desire of all those participating. One of the toughest teams in this year’s tournament was the Chicago Fire, led by its big man Paul Smith. Smith says he has had a passion for the game since his roommate in college introduced him to the sport in 1993. After the Fire won the Division three tournament by defeating the Austin, Texas, Wreckers, who were ranked seventh in the nation entering the tournament, they were ecstatic with joy.

“We plowed through the snow to get here and it was definitely worth it,” Smith said. “The best teams are here right now, and to be the best you have to beat the best.” Adam Pfluger from Texas and 10-year veteran of the team was optimistic about his team’s performance during the tournament despite falling in the championship round. “I love this game, and this tournament just makes us hungry,” Pflugger said. This tournament is the last big tournament before the finals in Denver.
GAINESVILLE, Fla.—It was a familiar feeling after the game. UK had been here before; three times actually: falling behind on the road, a desperate comeback, a tooshort finish. This one was a 70-68 loss to Florida (18-5, 7-2 Southeastern Conference) that left UK (16-6, 4-4 SEC) searching for the balance between optimism about the comeback and disappointment about the failed finish. “We’re getting closer,” head coach John Calipari said. “It’s just frustrating not finishing off the game.” This time, it was giving up offensive rebounds and

late turnovers that left an orange-clad crowd chanting UK off the court. UK had fought back from an 11-point deficit to cut the lead to one with two minutes left. Then, two decisi-ve shots: Terrence Jones missed a hook shot in the lane, and Alex Tyus made a hook shot in the lane. Jones made a dunk to cut the lead to one, leaving an eight-second differential between the shot clock and game clock. Doron Lamb fouled Chandler Parsons with 11 seconds left, and Parsons made one of two free throws. That set up a final possession for UK. Brandon Knight, coming off a ball screen, shot a three-pointer

that clanged off the front of the rim. “Normally, down two we want something at the rim,” Calipari said. “There were no calls, so we were not going to go in there. Terrence went in there three times and we got nothing. So our best bet was going through Brandon. He got a great look.”

rebounds and four assists. “Brandon willed us to that score,” Calipari said. “He willed us. … When we got him going, I told the team we’re playing through Brandon.” Knight also had four turnovers, including a costly one where Florida’s Kenny Boynton drained a three seconds after missing one. Calipari called it one of the critical plays in the game. UK had fought back from the deficit by throwing a zone defense at Florida that took the Gators out of their rhythm. But the zone left a gap once a shot went up, which Chandler Parsons exploited twice in grabbing offensive rebounds from the weak side. Parsons finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Program helps students achieve major milestone By Rachel Aretakis news@kykernel.com
A group of students are reaching a milestone no one else in their families has: completion of their first semester as a college student. The First Scholars Program provides a holistic array of resources including mentoring, support programs, activities and scholarships for students whose parents did not attend college, Director of the First Scholars Program Matthew Deffendall said. Currently, there are 20 scholars in the program, and the program is accepting 20 more for next fall. One of the scholars is Brandy Denton, a first generation student who is studying special education for moderate and severe disabilities.

“A lot of people view first gen (students) as having uneducated parents, but my parents are educated. They just didn’t go to college,” Denton said. Denton said that her parents have been supportive of her going to college, and that her motivation to get a degree started when she worked with students with disabilities during her senior year of high school. Students in the First Scholars Program receive a $5,000 scholarship, as well as peer and faculty mentors and tutoring. Scholars participate in service projects, workshops and retreats, and they develop an individualized strategic plan to graduate in four years, Deffendall said. “They will map out a
step-by-step process of what is going to happen over the next three years … it’s a roadmap to work from and guide them,” Deffendall said.

from the Suder Foundation in Texas to create a program to that focuses on first generation student success. UK was one of the two universities chosen out of 54 applicants, Deffendall said. Deffendall said that one of the reasons UK was selected was because of the existing resources already offered to students. The first phase of the $1.1 million grant was to plan and organize the program, and now it has moved into the operational grant for the next five years, Deffendall said. The average first semester GPA of the students in the First Scholars Program last fall was 3.1 compared to the average UK student GPA of 2.75, Deffendall said. Deffendall said based on
the scholars’ success, he has hope for other UK students and that this type of support could help improve the overall retention and graduation rate for UK. “What makes me most proud is the students we selected are your average UK student … because of resources and support we see that additional intervention can have an impact on student success,” Deffendall said. Deffendall said he hopes to one day be able to reach out to all first generation students at UK. “I want every first generation (student) in Kentucky to know that UK is the place for them because we understand, we will support you and we will help you change your family tree,” Deffendall said.

Long-distance love lecture By Corey Hord features@kykernel.com
You might find yourself knee-deep in a relationship that is severed by conflicting schedules, communication challenges and maybe even time zone differences during college. “Missing You: How to Make Long Distance Relationships Work” is a special lecture featuring Dr. Laura Stafford, professor of communications at UK. Cat’s Den concert coordinator Cece Simandl, whose boyfriend is considering taking an internship in Nashville beginning this summer and lasting at least six months is one student facing a long-distance relationship. “Dr. Stafford's lecture could provide me with some very valuable and helpful information,” Simandl said. “We have seen each other practically every day since we began dating. It's weird when I go one day without seeing him, and trying to imagine half a year, potentially more, is difficult.” Stafford stressed that it is
not about prolonging a relationship; it’s about asking yourself the right questions. “People are often focused on maintaining their relationship and sometimes forget to figure out if that person is right for them,”Stafford said. College students involved in long-distance relationships are becoming more common due to professional commitments, education and military deployment, Stafford said. She said distance can be challenging, whether your relationship partner has moved to the opposite side of the globe or if all the factors of two conflicting lifestyles keep you separated, despite living on the same campus. “The first thing we have to remember, whether it’s long distance or proximal, is the fundamentals,,” Stafford said. Stafford pointed out the significance of sharing the same fundamental values and beliefs, assuming that you’re looking for a life partner. “We date for fun, we date for recreation and that’s OK,” Stafford said. “If you are to the point in your life where
you’re looking for a life partner, you want to get to really know who the other person is.” Stafford hopes anyone who is searching for a lifelong partner and those willing to ask themselves prudent questions will attend her lecture. Hannah Sloan, the event coordinator for the Cat’s Den encouraged students to bring their relational questions like “How do we transition this relationship from where we are now to the future?” to Stafford, no matter where they stand. Sloan stressed that all students were welcome “whether they’re in a long distance relationship or not.” She said students can also take advantage of the free popcorn in the Cat’s Den, where the lecture is located.

Flu season ails students, doctors By Hayes Gardner news@kykernel.com
With winter comes freezing temperatures, piles of snow and horrible road conditions. Yet, besides the weather, winter brings another problem: illness — specifically, the flu. “The flu is one of the biggest problems we see,” Chief of Clinical Medicine from UK University Health Service Ann Hays said. Because of the severity of the flu, it needs to be closely monitored, Hays said. It is a perennial issue that is the focus of medical efforts every winter. The flu has few permanent threats, but it causes sick students to miss countless hours of class every winter.
Though less brutal than other illnesses, the flu is a large issue due to its persistent symptoms and high infectivity. “Recently, I have noticed a great number of students missing in all of my classes and even just walking around campus,” undeclared freshman Kyler Brooks said. UHS encourages students this winter to minimize the spread of germs and keep as many people healthy as possible. However, UHS will treat anyone with the flu — or any other sickness — once an appointment is scheduled. In years past, the winter flu season has been a busy time of the year for medical personnel. There are always more students needing medical attention during wintertime, leaving UHS in a hectic posi-
tion. Last year’s H1N1 virus crisis saw UHS scrambling to treat all of the sick students. “We had to cancel staff meetings and shorten patient appointments to see all of our patients,” Hays said. Precautionary measures can be taken, and flu shots are available. The cost is $10 with a student ID and $20 for anyone else. In order to get a shot, one must make an appointment. Appointments can be made by calling 859-323APPT, or 859-323-2778. Medical advice from a professional is given at 859-323INFO, or 859-323-4636. UHS is located at 830 S. Limestone, next to Kentucky Clinic and The Wethington Building, across from Speedway and Shell gas stations.

3-step process quells Cats’ comeback on the road again GAINESVILLE, Fla.— Step one: Fall victim to a double-figure deficit. Step two: Slowly chip away into lead with clutch plays from freshmen. Step three: Come up short in comeback NICK effort sendCRADDOCK ing a hostile Kernel road crowd columnist into hysterics. This is the three-step process that the UK men’s basketball team has used during all four of its Southeast-
ern Conference road losses, and it failed to break this cycle Saturday night in a 70-68 loss against No. 23 Florida; freshman guard Brandon Knight missed a potential game winning 3-pointer as time expired. UK erased a 13-point deficit with a 17-3 run thanks to inspired play from freshman forward Terrence Jones and Knight over a roughly six-minute span in the second half. Two missed rebounds snagged by Florida forward Chandler Parsons and a turnover from Knight in the backcourt that resulted in a Florida 3-pointer is what UK head coach John Calipari, Jones and Knight point-
ed to as the difference in the game. “They deserved to win the way we played, we gave ourselves a chance, but I think (we)’re getting tired of the finishes,” Calipari said. “We just played four out of five games on the road and with this young team it’s just hard — every game is a white-out, red-out, orangeout, black-out, something’s happening, and it’s sold out.” After all, it shouldn’t be surprising that a crowd of 12,633, an O’Connell Center record, wearing “Rowdy Reptile” T-shirts and ecstatic for ESPN College GameDay festivities on campus created some difficulties for one of its most bitter SEC East rivals
and thus, a higher likelihood for error; however, when multiple games are lost because of self-inflicted mistakes, chalking the loss up to poor luck or a multitude of excuses is no longer an option. Calipari has previouslysaid that every away game is the other team’s Super Bowl, but that can’t be used an excuse for not winning games on the road that could (and some will argue, myself included, should) have been won. If anything, the team should be getting accustomed to facing these hostile crowds. “I feel like it should motivate us, just to know that every team we’re playing is selling out,” Knight said. “I
think we should take it as a compliment to know that they want to see the joy out of seeing us lose.” With such a short bench, maybe the fatigue factor is more important than the rowdy roads fans then? “You can be fatigued and tired after the game,” said Jones, who refused to attribute his team’s falter down the stretch to playing too many minutes in essentially a sixman rotation. What about finding the silver lining in all these devastating away losses, that’s a positive, right? “If you don’t come up with the win, that’s the most important thing no matter
how you played or how your teammates played,” Knight said. “So I don’t feel very good right now.” The Cats refuse to make excuses in explaining their road losses, yet always resort to continuing to repeat the three-step process. The best news for UK, which ironically has the most wins in the SEC away from home (50) since 2000 to take from all their road lumps is that the toughest stretch of road games this year is finished. “Finally we get some home games,” Calipari said. But, eventually, UK will be forced to win away from home.
UK Hoops prepares for rival Tennessee Lady Vols By T.J. Walker sports@kykernel.com
The University of Kentucky women’s basketball team won’t worry about streaks when No. 5 Tennessee (21-2, 9-0 Southeastern Conference) comes to town. The No. 17 Cats (18-4, 72 SEC) will put aside their seven game winning streak and a rare home winning streak against Tennessee because UK head coach Matthew Mitchell says the team is focused on raising its level of play and not dwelling on the past. “For us, every time we

take the floor in the SEC there are three things you have to do,” Mitchell said. “With Tennessee and the talent they have and fire power they have you have to raise your level a little bit and see what you can do.” Mitchell suggested that there is never a great time to play Tennessee, but if there was a right time it would be now. After losing three straight games to start the 2011 campaign, the Cats are playing as well as any team in conference. In UK’s most recent win-
ning streak, UK has outscored its opponents by 13 points per game, and that margin swells to nearly 18 in UK’s home games. But those stats are child’s play when you look at Tennessee’s numbers. The Vols have won 12 straight games heading into Memorial Coliseum. Tennessee is used to winning on the road. Four of Tennessee’s last six games have been on the road, and in all four of those road wins no team has come within 15 points of the Vols. While both teams are playing hot, Mitchell’s focal
point is on three aspects that the Cats must master in order to move within a game of the SEC lead.
That’s the tradeoff with a zone defense. Players don’t have a specific man assigned to box out, so it’s easier to lose track of a player and let them slip in. “But when the game’s on the line, you have to know
you want the ball more than the other team,” Jones said. It’s those types of plays that Calipari was lamenting after the game. “You did everything right. You did all the comebacking,” Calipari said, “and
that’s how you’re gonna lose? That’s where you say it’s unacceptable.” The repititious script has both Calipari and the players frustrated. “I think they’re tired of the finishes,” Calipari said.
Sweat & stares: Working out MARTHA GROPPO Kernel columnist
A trip to the Johnson Center is a surreal experience. First, you walk through those turnstiles. Turnstiles always make you feel more like a member of a stampede than a woman looking for a workout. Next, everyone seems to be staring. Granted, we tend to zone out staring at each other on the way to classes as well. The Johnson Center is different, though—stares are taken to the next level. I’m not just talking about the creepy meat-market stares that are present in every gym. There are also the calculating stares from girls sizing you up (we do it too), queasy stares from people stunned by the white glare of pale legs and the stares of people trying to figure out if that sweaty, redfaced person running across them is the same put-together person from their class. Once you pass the initial gauntlet of stares, you get to select your workout machine of choice. The Johnson Center set-up contributes to the growing surreal experience. Think about it. There is a gallery of girls plugging away on treadmills and ellipticals overlooking a pit of men. Odd. A few girls venture into the pit, but those girls who stick to the gallery have a few viewing options: 1. You can look into the pit of iron and sweating men (They might also be looking up at you, though, and this is incredibly awkward. Smile? Frown? What’s protocol here? You are running) 2. Watch the rock wall (This feels cruel. I mean, the climbers have their rears extruded through a harness). 3. Read a magazine (Warning! This can be disorienting. You can totally fall off of the treadmill if you are doing anything faster than an 8 minute mile… not that I’ve fallen off personally). 4. Stare into space. When you are done burning off half of your daily ration of chocolate, you head to the locker room. I don’t know what the men’s locker room is like, but the women’s boasts the largest scale I’ve ever seen. In case you don’t feel enough like of piece of meat after the gauntlet of stares, you can weigh yourself on a scale that was clearly designed for livestock. Seriously. Five girls could stand on that thing. On your way out, you can wave at the live webcam. Yes, there is a webcam watching you while you workout. Am I the only person who finds this troubling? All of this isn’t to discourage you from working out. My trip to the Johnson Center is the best part of my day—but even the workout-lover can see the surreal aspects of burning calories in an artificial environment. It just gives us a reason to look forward to spring—when we can run outside without getting frostbite.
ANDY BURRESS Kernel columnist
Guys are always hanging out at the gym, and for the most part, they actually work out for reasons one would expect — to get in or stay in shape, maybe even play a little ball. Unfortunately there are still the few who go to see themselves from new angles in the mirrors and others who go to ogle the ladies upstairs (thanks to the conveniently placed wall clock, right?). But the greater issue, as I see it, lies all too exposed within the locker rooms. Now before we delve into this dilemma, let me first say that I’m all for a midday gym session, and fully understand that a shower after is sincerely appreciated. I even understand that it’s generally impractical and wholly irresponsible to take your fresh change of clothes into the showers with you. All I’m asking for is the consideration of hanging some fresh undies over the rail or something, just to spare the rest of us while you’re walking back to the locker. I don’t know how many times I’ve been bent over to lace up my shoes only to look back up afterwards and see that the moon has broken through the clouds a little early, or sometimes even worse. It’s just not cool at all. There are ways around these issues. we just have to be willing to make the change. Briefly, this is what I propose: For the mirror-staring type. The easiest solution here would be to disallow cutoffs, though I know this would never happen. Instead, I should like to entertain the idea of taking all but one mirror sheet out of each section. I can only imagine the hilarity in 15 guys piling on top of one another to get a quick flex in. For the staring type: Lady-ogling is no good. There’s really nothing I can do about this one. Sorry ladies. Do keep showing up though. It’s certainly appreciated outside the gym as well. For those who go full-frontal in the locker rooms: My goodness, this one should be banned altogether. I don’t even know where to start for fear of some old man calling me a sissy, but something’s got to give. Maybe we split the room right down the middle. Let those that like to bare all have one side, and those who prefer to get buff rather than be in it to the other. The gym-goer population has been growing a lot as of late, and we should always be welcoming of potential clientele, but we should also look to protect the innocent. Some of those kids never even saw it coming.
“With Tennessee ... you have to raise your level a little bit and see what you can do.” MATTHEW MITCHELL UK women’s head coach
The three phases are winning 50/50 plays, rebounding and the turnover battle.
Mitchell suggests the 50/50 play is nothing the Cats can specifically work on, but when it comes to rebounding Mitchell knows he is facing a tough test. “It takes a lot of hard work to rebound in this league and to win that battle on the boards, and Tennessee is probably without a doubt one of the most powerful rebounding teams in the country, and certainly statistically the best team in our league,” Mitchell said. “Rebounding will be a huge part of the game.” UK’s lack of size has
been problematic, but in its last six games UK has only been out rebounded once. While UK doesn’t always excel in rebounding, it does in the turnover department. In the Cats’ most recent outing against Auburn, UK forced 26 turnovers. “The third area is the turnover battle. Can you somehow find the way to have the discipline on offense to take care of it and on defense to play hard enough and have the discipline to carry out your assignment and turn the other team over?” Mitchell said.

Support protesters for Egyptian stability, political freedom On Dec. 30, I departed Cairo, Egypt, after spending four months studying abroad there. On Jan. 25, less than a month later, Cairo erupted in a series of demonstrations and protests against the governmental system in Egypt and the country’s political Sphinx, the 30-year president, Hosni Mubarak. In my November Kernel column, I predicted, “A JAMES self-generated movement CHAPMAN for democracy, not imposed Guest from the outside, harnessing columnist the power of new communication technologies and Egypt’s large youth population to protest the government will eventually effect change.” While this prediction certainly seems to hold true in light of recent events, if anyone had asked me if Egypt would erupt in popular revolt less than a month after I left, I could have never agreed to such a drastic statement. Yet, here we are. We are witnessing a grassroots movement initially organized online, through social media, and using other new communication technologies, such as mobile phones, for a fair governmental system. Egyptians are taking their futures into their own hands, asserting a right to self-determination rarely seen in their society. They are fighting for political and social freedom, and they are dying for a chance at democracy. This movement is significant and different from past protests for its ability to unite all of Egypt’s varied opposition movements and parties together without a clear leader. Such is the power of online social media: enabled to mobilize and organize like never before, these protests quickly grew from Facebook events organized by the youth to real world marches with the vast support of the Egyptian people. Outside of the catalyzing effects of these new technologies, a confluence of events led
to demonstrations of this magnitude being possible at this moment. The Egyptian people were on edge, and aghast, at the series of church bombings and attacks on Christians in the previous weeks. Then, following the collapse of the government of Tunisia after popular protests were organized online, Egyptians found themselves emboldened and inspired to attempt a similar ousting of their president. When the protests began, I stayed in constant communication with my friends at Cairo University through Facebook. One friend told me, “People here are demonstrating against our government and president in very huge numbers in order to change the whole regime in Egypt,” and another told me, “We are protesting for the sake of liberty and freedom and we do not want this president and we do not want this totalitarian regime.” Within a day, the messages had changed slightly to a more sober tone: “People are still standing here, thank God, in spite of the aggressive police attacks.” In one of the most insidious moves of the Egyptian government to date, my friends in Cairo suddenly found themselves with no means to communicate. The government, responding to the protests continuing to be organized online, simply shut off the Internet (and mobile phone services too, for good measure). For a week, there was a blackout of any information coming from my contacts in Cairo. Then, on the morning of Feb. 2, after the people had achieved substantive concessions from Mubarak, I woke up to the following message, “Well, we did it :) That’s all that I can say!” I can’t overemphasize how empowering this movement is for a people who have been repressed and kept under oppressive emergency laws for the past 30 years. Nor can I overstate the outright hatred for Mubarak and the government system overall when speaking with average Egyptians. For years, the United States operated
with a goal of spreading freedom and democracy throughout the world, especially in the Middle East. Well, this is how we should do it: by supporting people desiring freedom and standing behind an organic movement for democracy. We must continue to support voices of political moderation and continue to empower all people in this region to reach their potential. Our government, nevertheless, has been rather timid in its response to this uprising, seeking to cling to Mubarak as an ally in the region (an ally to which we give $2 billion in taxpayer money every year to agree with us), although this timidity has morphed into stronger support for the Egyptian people over time. Realize, though, that U.S. support of Mubarak and similar regimes engenders the very extremism we are seeking to eradicate. The U.S. policy of authoritarian stability has been advantageous to U.S. interests, and fittingly, American policymakers remain frozen in their fear that political change will bring instability, which may place U.S. interests in jeopardy. But for those who champion stability, how stable has the region been recently? When some claim that supporting Mubarak is in our national security interests because he is an ally in the region, they are playing to our worst instincts and fear mongering based on assumptions that are simply unfounded in reality. They also are forgetting that Mubarak’s rule in Egypt begets the frustrations and economic, political and social conditions that produce extremism and terrorism. Poor and frustrated, some in Egypt seek refuge in an extreme version of Islam that advocates violent acts against the West. Therefore, those who continue to support Mubarak's regime not only loose their moral and ethical legitimacy but also are advocating for conditions directly counter to the national security interests of the U.S. Lastly, perhaps the event with the greatest long-term promise was Mohamed ElBaradei’s return to Egypt in the midst of the
protests. I wrote briefly about ElBaradei’s potential to lead a new Egyptian wave of democracy in my previous article, but I have also been critical of him for operating largely outside of Egypt, only interacting with normal Egyptians through online social media — rarely in person, on the street. Nevertheless, he was an electrifying presence when he arrived, and he served as one central figurehead uniting all the various movements and parties engaging in protests in opposition to the regime. Even the Muslim Brotherhood has shown a willingness to unite with ElBaradei in democracy, as it did with ElBaradei’s call to boycott the parliamentary election I witnessed while in Egypt. This spontaneously generated opposition movement, one not predicated on religion, is calling for a true democratic revolution in Egypt, and it seems to be earning the support of a wide variety of societal actors in Egypt, a promising sign for its stability in the future. Since Jan. 25, the world has been inspired by hope and passion in Cairo, and it has borne witness to the expression of a fury that has smoldered under the surface of Egyptian society for decades. The U.S., and each of us, must find ourselves supporting the Egyptian people as they throw off the vestiges of an oppressive dictatorship and display commendable courage in the face of government thugs on horses and the army, in tanks, deployed against its own people. The hundreds of thousands of people who gather in Tahrir Square each day in Cairo simply are seeking the same opportunities and freedoms that we enjoy in a free and open society. Who are we as a people if we do not support our fellow man and woman as they move past years of disrespect, no opportunities, and humiliation; grasp, head-on, a brighter, more hopeful future; and awaken each day to more promising lives?
