Students transform walls with art
Sit-in ends with rally
Project provides hands-on environment By Brittney De Jaco news@kykernel.com
UK art students are taking their artistic talents to local middle schools this spring. Throughout the semester, UK art professor Dr. George Szekely has been taking his students to Jessie Clark middle school where they have had the opportunity to take part in a unique project in Dolly Dressman’s art classroom. By choosing to paint the walls and other parts of the classroom to cover their cracked or dingy surfaces, students from both schools have been able to transform the room into a mural of nature scenes, creating what Dressman refers to as “the museum” of her students’ artwork. Szekely teaches the class “Methods for Teaching Middle School,” and became involved in the project because he is a part of the Adopt-A-School program. The project allows Szekely to take his students to a local middle school where they can apply what they have learned in his classroom to a hands-on environment. To Szekely, this hands-on environment is more important than any lecture he can provide. “Kids are more influential than a classroom or textbook can be for [my students],” Szekely said. When he began to learn of Dressman’s new project, Szekely said he was overjoyed to become a part of it and have his students see a teacher with such new and inventive ideas. “It is important to see an art teacher change the room,” Szekely said about Dressman’s teaching style. “She is really an artist See ART on page 2

Bulldogs visit Rupp, where Cats shine By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
The way UK head coach John Calipari sees it, his team’s struggles aren’t all that unusual this time of year. “Other than the top six or seven teams, everyone’s had a lull in their schedule,” Calipari said. “We’ve hit ours. Now we’ve got to burst through it.” That opportunity will come Tuesday for UK (17-7, 5-5 Southeastern Conference) as it takes on a talented, but struggling as well, Mississippi State (13-11, 5-5 SEC).

Protesters crowd the front steps at the “I Love Mountains” rally at the Capitol building in Frankfort on Valentine’s Day.
Protesters encouraged by supporter turnout By Matt Murray mmurray@kykernel.com
FRANKFORT, Ky. — After spending three nights on the floor of the governor’s outer office in the Capitol, the 14 mountaintop removal protesters in Frankfort were able to see the support for their cause firsthand. As the hundreds outside concluded a march in celebration of “I Love Mountains” Day, coming around to the Capitol’s front steps, the few inside were finishing up business. “We met to the governor’s schedule this morning and they said the governor would schedule a time to hold up his promise to visit eastern Kentucky,” protester Rick Handshoe said. “If he doesn’t, we’ll be back.” The group of protesters, who dubbed themselves “Kentucky Rising,” gathered inside for one final group hug before going out the Capitol’s front doors into daylight for the first time in three days. Author Wendell Berry addressed the crowd first, sharing with them the importance of the group’s efforts. “We do not see this as a symbolic gesture. Instead we are humbled by the fact this can’t be carried out by us or any few of us,” Berry said. Berry also said that the group’s efforts wouldn’t be considered complete “until this great house can become the home of justice.” Kentucky Rising discussed the original goals with which they’d entered the Capitol, the primary goal be-
ing the cessation of mountaintop removal altogether. The group met with Gov. Beshear Friday morning, and said he complied to two of their demands. They say one is to visit the mountains of eastern Kentucky that have been decimated by mountaintop removal, and the other demand is an agreement to end violent speech towards those opposed to abusive mining. Kentucky Coal Association President Bill Bissett said those in opposition of surface mining need to understand that it is necessary. “We would not be able to mine these particular reserves without the process of surface mining,” Bisset said on Sunday. State Rep. Jim Gooch, DProvidence, agreed with Bissett, saying that the opposition was often sensationalistic in describing the effects of surface mining. “The folks that are against it, through their rhetoric, describe it in a way that it’s not actually being done,” Gooch said Saturday. Activist and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth member Teri Blanton said she thought that the wake of the protest would offer the best opportunity to end abusive mining, and that supporters of the cause need to hold the government accountable. “For the first time in 30 years the government is making an effort to stop abusive mining through the Clean Water Act,” Blanton said. She said two representatives from the EPA have visited eastern KenSee MOUNTAINS on page 2

UK HealthCare combats secondhand smoke Brochure details dangers, smoking etiquette By Amelia Orwick
Mississippi State features Renardo Sidney, averaging 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds, and Dee Bost, averaging 17.7 points and 5.2 assists. Also featured for the Bulldogs is Ravern Johnson, who averages 17 points and shoots three-pointers on more than half his attempts. And if UK expected to get any inside information from transfer Twany Beckham, who used to play at Mississippi State, it hasn’t come yet, Jarrod Polson said. “There’s a sense of urgency about this game,” Calipari said. “The scary part is it’s at home, so you think (you’re fine because) they’re on the road.

The University HealthCare Marketing Dept. has released a brochure in hopes of raising awareness of the dangers of secondhand smoke. The brochure’s front features a picture of an infant with a cigarette in hand. Dr. Ellen Hahn, director of the Kentucky Center for Smoke Free Policy, said UK HealthCare was not prompted to put out the brochure because of low compliance with the tobacco free policy. “Overall, I think people are complying pretty well,” Hahn said. “We have about a five- time increase in the number of people

who have reached out to tobacco treatment programs.” The 13- page pamphlet, titled “Tips for Protecting Loved Ones from Secondhand Smoke,” details everything from how to talk to children about secondhand smoke to smoking etiquette for smokers and nonsmokers. Although the brochure targets parents with young children, it says college students are not free from the dangers associated with smoking. UK HealthCare representatives hope that students will take advantage of this resource and find out how to protect themselves. “There really is no risk- free level of either first or secondhand smoke,” Hahn said. “The interesting thing is that secondhand

smoke is comprised of both mainstream and second- stream smoke.” Many students who do not smoke are grateful that UK is taking the initiative to look out for their health. “I appreciate that they’re trying to implement a tobacco free campus, but sometimes smoke can be hard to avoid. Its nice that the brochure can answer any questions,” junior Keith Whitfield said. UK issued its campuswide tobacco ban on Nov. 19, 2009. Health Education coordinator Fadyia Lowe said in a Nov. 2010 Kernel article that enforcement of the ban needs improvement, but the ban has been great for UK.

If Miller has to miss the game, or is limited, it constricts UK’s already short bench even more. “He’s a guy that plays a lot of minutes,” Terrence Jones said. “He’s a big impact on our team.”
“She has so many great ideas,” Szekely said. Dressman said the idea for the project began when her class noticed a stained tile on the ceiling and decided to paint a sun over it. From there the project took off. Students began with a rainforest theme which has grown to other scenes, such as sea life, safari and dinosaurs. However, Dressman said it still seems there is always something they’ve forgotten. “Every time we think we are finished, we’re not,” Dressman said. She said
this allows the students to keep adding to the beauty of the room. Jane Morris, a counselor at Jessie Clark middle school, said she loved seeing the excitement students showed when working on the project. “They felt like they were doing something special and important,” Morris said. Although she has received attention for the project, Dressman is still focused on the students. “A teacher who brings out their students’ creativity without fear…that’s what I try to be,” Dressman said.
What Mississippi State does well: Avoid fouling (sending opponents to the line at a 26.8 percent rate, 10th lowest in the nation). What Mississippi State does not do well: Offensive rebound (29 percent of available rebounds) and create turnovers (16.8 percent turnover rate).

Charlie Sheen undergoes rehab NEW YORK — So far, CBS has been largely willing to forgive Charlie Sheen's many legal and personal transgressions, but on Monday, he gave the network more reason to worry. During a highly erratic interview on "The Dan Patrick Show," the star, who's currently on hiatus from "Two and a Half Men" so that he can undergo rehab, announced that he was ready to get back to work, though he also admitted that his sobriety has been "off and on." He even suggested to the syndicated radio show that he'd already returned to the set, and was "banging on the stage door" but no one would let him back in. Asked when he was scheduled to return, he replied, "August of 2014 at this pace." Sheen also addressed his recent outburst during his surprise appearance at UCLA's baseball practice last week.

Weaker bats fit Cats’ style New regulations may minimize home runs By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
In preparation for the start of the new season, UK has found itself making adjustments to the newest rule implemented by the NCAA in 2011: a new bat said to be more similar to the wooden bats used in Major League Baseball and less powerful than the previous bats used in Division I. “There are going to be a lot less home runs this year, but I feel like it helps our team,” UK senior shortstop Taylor Black said. “We are a speed-oriented team. We like to pitch and play defense, so I think it’s in our favor. But it will change the game.” On Jan. 1, 2011, the NCAA Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution was instituted. This eliminates nearly all composite bats and decreases the weight in the barrel of bats used in games, claiming that the new bats better simulate wooden bats and are safer for players. Some tests conducted by the NCAA have shown that balls hit by the new bats travel 10-15 miles per hour slower off the barrel than balls hit by the old bats. This decrease in “pop” off the bat is expected to induce a decline in offensive numbers, especially in home runs. As a result, there has been widespread dislike for the NCAA’s rule change. “I think some of the complaining from some of the coaches in our league is a bit overblown,” UK head coach Gary Henderson said. “You can still hit a home run, but you’ve got to hit it. You can’t cap it, you can’t get jammed, you can’t be out in front. You’ve got to hit it on the sweet spot.” Henderson has always prided his teams on pitching

Black is UK’s only returning starting infielder from 2010. He admits the bats will change the way players approach situations both at the plate as well as in the field. Most of the Cats spent their offseason working out with the new bats and trying to redefine their approach at the plate in preparation for the new season. “You know in the fall we used it. You can tell a big difference,” Black said. “Before, guys could hit home runs whenever they wanted in batting practice, and now you really have to get into a ball to get it out. I mean, yeah, it’s going to make a big difference, but I feel like it’s not going to be too bad.” Henderson penciled in Braden Kapteyn as UK’s starting first baseman, but he will also see time on the mound this season closing games.

Senior defenseman Andrew Serres is a fifth-year senior and twotime team captain for the Cool Cats. By Gary Hermann sports@kykernel.com
Saturday at midnight, the seniors on the UK ice hockey team will take the ice at the Lexington Ice Center for the last time. Goalies Jim Borgaard and Derek Steinbrecher, forwards Sean Wormald and Josh Knicker, defensemen Jay Morgan and Andrew Serres, the team captain, will lead the Cool Cats as they play Akron on Friday and Saturday to close out their regular season. “It’s going to be real melancholy,” Borgaard said. Knicker is excited for his final game and expects a big crowd from the UK faithful. “My whole family is flying in,” Knicker said. Knicker has been with the team since his freshman year. “It’s been awesome. I do it every year,” Knicker said. “These are going to be my best friends for the rest of my life.” Morgan also noted how close the upperclassmen are. “Our seniors are a really tight bunch,” Morgan said. “We brought everyone together. We were always there bringing the younger kids up.” Borgaard said UK’s fanbase and supporters are “unreal.” “Our fan base is unlike any other,” Borgaard said. “(All the other teams) hate playing here.”
Junior forward Michael Getz said this year’s seniors have been leaders since they were underclassmen. “They were really big leaders for us since our freshman year,” Getz said. “We really looked up to them.” Serres has led the team through its up and down season and now has the Cool Cats in position to make the American Collegiate Hockey Association Regional field. “He’s the captain in every way, shape and form,” Getz said. “He’s been a huge leader for the team since he’s been here.” Serres is a fifth-year senior and a second-year captain. “He’s a great guy,” freshman forward Gray McLaughlin said. “He’s the perfect captain on and off the ice.” Next year’s team will have a gap to fill in the net. “Losing our two starting goalies is going to be a tough loss,” Getz said. “Jim’s been our rock all year.” Getz knows it will be tough to replace this year’s seniors but feels his class is ready to follow in their footsteps. “We are ready to lead this club,” Getz said. After years of commitment to UK ice hockey the seniors only have two games left in front of their home fans. “I don’t want it to be over,” Borgaard said.
spective of both a pitcher whose job may have been made easier, and a hitter whose numbers may decline, he too feels the bats will benefit UK. “I think you are going to see a lot more small-ball,” Kapteyn said. “You’re going to see a lot of teams stealing bags now. That’s got to be the name of the game now. You can’t live and die by home runs anymore.” Henderson remains adamant that pitching and defense are what wins ball games, and that the new bats won’t have a major effect on his job as a coach. “The game calling won’t be affected,” Henderson said. “That part, I think- that shouldn’t get in the way, that piece of it … The feel is it’s going to be much, much tougher to get a five spot when you’ve just given up some. I think that- to me as a coach, that’s what I think of. You’ve got to be able to throw strikes, you’ve got to absolutely do whatever you can to keep the freebies to a minimum.”

Pop star for the night: Karaoke returns to Cat’s Den By Steven King features@kykernel.com
Amidst a singing-heavy television season featuring “American Idol” and “Glee,” UK will showcase its own students’ vocal talents with Karaoke Night. The Student Activities Board will hold Karaoke Night in the Cat’s Den at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The admission and participation in the contest is free, and two free tickets to Kathy Griffin’s Feb. 27 performance at the Singletary Center will be the top prize for the winner of the karaoke contest. Karaoke singers will be able to choose their songs from a variety of pop genres. Billboard Top 100, Party Tyme Karaoke, and Disney Karaoke will be the CDs offered to contestants. “Under the Sea” could easily be followed by “Hey, Soul Sister.” SAB President Sarah Ausmus, a junior philosophy major, said that it will be a fun event.
“It will be a variety of fun songs,” Ausmus said. “If you love Glee, if you love popular music and you love singing along, this will be a great place to go.” Some students have already been looking forward to Karaoke Night. One of those students is Lauren Letsinger, a junior integrated and strategic communication junior.
If you go What: Karaoke Night When: Tuesday at 8 p.m. Where: Cat’s Den Admission: Free “I can’t wait for Karaoke Night,” Letsinger said. “I’m so excited to participate in the contest, because I’ve never sang karaoke before. I don’t know if I’ll embarrass myself or look stupid, but I don’t care. Win or lose, I know I will
have lots of fun.” While many students’ eagerness for the event is evident, some students feel differently about singing in public. Ausmus believes Karaoke Night will be a refreshing break for everyone who made it through the first portion of the semester. “It’ll be really fun and a great way to blow off steam,” Ausmus said. “I know everyone’s finishing their first round of tests this week, and it’ll be a great way to relieve stress.” “We have done this in the past, but it’s been a while since we’ve done it, so for a lot of student it’ll probably be their first time doing Karaoke Night through SAB,” Ausmus said. Event coordinators think the grand prize tickets will be another motivation for students to enter the competition. “We’re excited to have Kathy Griffin,”Ausmus said. “We think her tickets will be a hot commodity.”
Metallic tints and animal prints: Stars go ‘trendy’ for Grammys Shelisa Melendez Kernel columnist
Some of the most popular names in the music industry hit the red carpet Sunday night at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Alongside the Oscars, the red carpet at the Grammy Awards is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. While the Academy Awards, or Oscars, is usually more of a black tie affair, the red carpet at the Grammys sees more trendy looks; some for better, and well … some for worse. Because of such high exposure on the red carpet, it is a designer’s dream to have an A-list celebrity wearing his or her newest designs; especially when every journalist, photographer and spectator wants to know the answer to the infamous question, “Who are you wearing tonight?” However, on Sunday night some celebs did their fashion designers—and themselves, for that matter—no justice. While watching the celebrities arriving to the awards ceremony, the very ob-
vious trend of the evening was metallic. Metallic, metallic and yes, more metallic! Both Heidi Klum and Kim Kardashian wore gold metallic dresses on the red carpet. It goes without saying that Klum was the more elegant of the two, with credits to her golden designer, Julien MacDonald. With a high leg slit, deepcleavage neckline and a loud gold-toned dress, Kardashian did not give designer Kaufman Franco a good look. But you couldn’t tell her that. When asked about her look for the night, she told the New York Daily News, “I’m like a bronzed trophy now.” Couldn’t have said it any better, Kimmie.
But Kardashian wasn’t the only celeb who missed the fashion mark Sunday night. Young Money artist Nicki Minaj walked the red carpet on the wild side. Wearing head-to-toe leopard print (shoes, stockings, dress and
gloves) and hair reminiscent of the bride of Frankenstein, she was an attention grabber. With her latest music video “S&M” banned in 11 countries, it was no surprise that R&B singer Rihanna’s dress was risque, leaving nothing to the imagination. Designed by well-known Jean Paul Gaultier, she wore a white sheer dress that bared all. “He’s one of my favorite designers,” Rihanna told the daily news of Gaultier. “I pretty much snatched [the dress] off the runway.” Besides the quirky and “misunderstood” outfits of the evening, the red carpet at the Grammys showcased some fashion hits. New American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez showed everyone that she’s still got it. This hot mama of two wore a long-sleeved metallic mini dress by Emilio Pucci with silver spiked peep toe heels. Keeping the metallic theme alive, Miley Cyrus wore an animal print Roberto Cavalli gown with metallic accents. I will be the first to say I am not a huge Miley Cyrus fan, but her dress was gorgeous. After her weight loss of five dress sizes, Oscar-winning singer Jennifer Hudson looked amazing flaunting her new figure. She wore a mid-

night blue Versace dress with a metallic accented bodice (which appropriately created cleavage without losing the classiness of the dress) and Christian Louboutin heels. Honorable mention goes to Justin Beiber, who wore a white velvet three-piece tuxedo with white sneakers and a black Dolce & Gabbana bowtie. I’m not quite sure what look he was going for, but it wasn’t a complete disaster. The red carpet at the Grammys brought out the wild, censored and utterly fashionable.

Cats hold player meeting, talk end of game By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFF
Freshman forward Terrence Jones said he is responsible in part for some of UK’s late-game losses, namely to Vanderbilt on Saturday. Jones won the SEC Freshman of the Week Award Monday after averaging 17.5 points and 10 rebounds against Tennessee and Vanderbilt. It was Jones’ fourth of the year.
After the bus ride back from a loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday that dropped UK to 5-5 in the Southeastern Conference, Josh Harrellson sent out a text to his teammates calling them into the lobby of the Coal Lodge for a players-only meeting. It was the second players-only meeting UK has held this year. The first took place before the season began. The main point: How to get better at the end of games, a deficiency that has cost UK in nearly every defeat. “That’s the question we were asking ourselves,” Jarrod Polson said. “What do we need to do?” Down the stretch, a variety of errors have inhibited the Cats. Against Vanderbilt, it was turnovers that gave Vanderbilt a free four points. And now, UK has that reputation of wilting late in the game. “It’s nervous when you keep losing on the road and you’re known for losing on the road like we are right now,” Terrence Jones said. That reputation has set up a mental roadblock for the players. Jones said he sometimes finding himself placing too much importance on certain plays, more importance than he needs to ascribe them, when “any basket can take the lead.” He finds himself glancing up at the scoreboard. And he said “everybody” has those feelings of nervousness. “It has to do with being nervous about losing when it’s so close and so little time,” Jones said.
“It’s just something we have to overcome by playing without looking at the score and being nervous.” Waiting and waiting for that breakthrough moment on the road has led Jones to thoughts of “we have to win this one” late in games, he said. Head coach John Calipari said in a Lexycast that UK needed to stop looking at the scoreboard and worrying about whether or not they can actually pull off a win. He talked during the media session about some changes UK needs to make, and briefly mentioned that aspect. “Some of those things is mentally, these guys getting by it,” Calipari said. Jones said UK will need to have that breakthrough moment by closing out a game. “We’ve proved to ourselves that we can take a lead and be up,” Jones said. “We just need to take the next step and close it out.” That’s what the meeting was about. Calipari said he didn’t know it happened — he is the coach, and the name would dictate he isn’t involved — but said if the players thought it would work then he is in support. “Well, I hope it brings about change,” Calipari said. For the players, they talked about eliminating distractions and focusing entirely on basketball, no easy feat for college athletes. “We told each other, from here on it’s all basketball,” Polson said. “Focus all on basketball and nothing else.”
