UK goes green in a ‘major’ way By Hannah Ellis news@kykernel.com
The carbon footprint made by UK will be getting smaller with the addition of a new major known, as Environmental and Sustainability Studies. David Atwood, the Environmental Studies director and chemistry professor, said there is no other major exactly like it, and the closest an-
other university offers is the sustainability degree available at Berea College. This major allows students to be able to cover many courses that wouldn’t fall together under another major. The ENS program will incorporate subjects like humanities, natural sciences, writing, communications and environmental ethics, and will provide an independent
Festival offers taste of world
study for students closer to graduation. Because ENS will be a Bachelor of Arts degree, Atwood said it would be a great companion degree for majors like chemistry, biology, geography, anthropology, and earth and environmental sciences. Jobs that could be available to students with a major in this field range anywhere from working with environ-
mental groups to state government to the Environmental Protection Agency, or newspapers, magazines or other publications, Atwood said. Writing courses coupled with environmental knowledge could create many job possibilities. Atwood and the Board of Trustees spent all of last semester hammering out the details of the program to the point to where he feels there
is not much room for improvement. “It was so obvious that we needed this new major that it didn’t take long for us to come to an agreement on the overall courses and goals of the program,” Atwood said. With this degree comes enhanced critical thinking skills, independent decision making and a factual basis for making decisions, skill in

communications and particularly writing, and deep knowledge of sustainability and how it could be put into practice. The major will have five areas of expertise from which to choose: economics and policy, ecosystems, energy and land, society and water resources. This once again provides See MAJOR on page 2

Monthlong event raises cultural awareness By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com
The opportunity to travel around the world and view other cultures, all while staying in Lexington, does not come around often. Students, faculty and staff, however, can do just that by attending events in this year’s Cultural Diversity Festival throughout March. Events in the celebration focus on educating people about different cultures through a talent show, performances, food and a machine that gives viewers the chance to visualize themselves as a different race. The Human Race Machine is an aspect of the celebration, with the mission to “promote cultural awareness,” according to the festival’s website. Though some events begin at the end of February and continue into April, the festival will officially begin with Taste of Our World on March 2, which will feature foods from every continent and performances from different student groups. “The day itself is the kickoff for the whole festival in general,” Debra Ross, a co-chair of the festival, said. “It will involve food from around the world (and) entertainment.” Items from Ten Thousand Villages, a fair trade vendor, will be for sale and will include jewelry and home decor. There also will be a silent auction, and proceeds go to the Presi-

‘E-Day’ engineers kids’ futures By Alex Simon news@kykernel.com
Young aspiring engineers can gain insight into their futures this weekend, as UK hosts the College of Engineering Day, more commonly known as E-Day. E-Day is a celebration of everything UK’s College of Engineering offers and is targeted toward every age group from kindergarten to the 12th grade. The event starts this Saturday at 9 a.m. in the Engineering Complex. “We bring a lot of outside exhibitors to span to all of the age groups,” said Dorothy Rapp, College of Engineering marketing and communications graphic designer. The event typically draws thousands of children and their parents to UK’s campus, encouraging girls and boys in elementary, middle and high schools to consider pursuing degrees in engineering. “We have students that come to school here because of E-Day,” Rapp said. Engineering is more often represented by nerdy students than by an exciting day filled with egg drops and fire tornadoes. “We try to break that stereotype that engineers are nerds,” said Bob Edwards, College of Engineering director of marketing and communications. Forty-five different institutions are sponsoring the day’s exhibitions, which include the tallest egg drop from around the state, at See E-DAY on page 2

College student-athletes may starve for success By Martha Groppo mgroppo@kykernel.com
College athletes can seem like the model examples of health, but sometimes destructive behavior can fester beneath a fit facade. “Things are so performancedriven in athletics,” Courtney Jones, the senior athletic trainer for women’s basketball said. “If we start to start noticing some behavior, then we would go ahead and plug them into our eating disorder policy.” UK has a multi-faceted eating disorder program in place for student-athletes that includes preventative education, behavioral surveys, and, if necessary, counseling and medical treatment. Jones said freshman athletes attend a nutritional talk about taking their sport to the next level of intensity demanded at the college level. During the talk, tips for having a positive body image are given, and several eating myths

are debunked. For example: “You won’t bulk up like a man if you lift weights,” Jones said. She said thanks to a female health questionnaire given to female athletes with questions about things like eating patterns and menstrual history, “We can get them before they even start.”
“Things are so performancedriven in athletics.” COURTNEY JONES Senior athletic trainer
“I think it’s (eating disorders) something we have a huge awareness for,” Jones said. The National Eating Disorder Awareness Association reported that a study of Division 1 NCAA female athletes ound that more than a third of the athletes in the

study “reported attitudes and symptoms placing them at risk for anorexia nervosa.” Statistics on the actual number of college athletes with eating disorders are more difficult to come by because of the secrecy surrounding eating disorders; athletes may be afraid to come forward for fear of being forced to stop competing. UK’s current policy circumvents this problem by allowing athletes who admit to having an eating disorder to keep competing. “As long as they respond well to treatment, they stay participating in their sport,” Jones said. “If they aren’t medically stable we might pull them,” Jill Kindy, health education coordinator for the University Health Service said, but “they would remain on the team.” According to UK cheerleading head coach Jomo Thompson, the cheerleading program adheres to this same policy.

Sometimes the high five, chest bump or butt slap simply won’t suffice. In which case, throw those fingers up. Select players on the UK basketball team, notably freshman forward Terrence Jones and freshman guard Doron Lamb, have been celebrating their smooth shooting from beyond the arc in interesting fashion. From the beginning of the season, but more so as of late, Lamb and Jones hold one hand to their face, make a circle with their index finger and thumb and flare their remaining three fingers at opponents after knocking down a trey. Opponents have been unfazed, so what’s the significance, if any, you ask? “I can’t tell anybody what it means,” said Lamb, who leads the Cats in 3-point percentage. “It’s just a signal we throw up for a 3-pointer.” “No comment,” added Lamb’s teammate Stacey Poole, who sat next to Lamb while he remained secretive of the special hand signal. The reasoning behind the signal may remain shrouded in mystery, but it does exemplify a swagger sometimes thought to be absent from this year’s version of the Cats. The Cats’ celebratory gesture is refreshing considering we live in a world where football players are fined or penalized for excessive end zone celebrations, soccer players are assessed a yellow card for removing their jerseys after scoring a goal and basketball players hanging on the rim after that emphatic dunk for that extra second get whistled for a technical foul. These celebrations are fun and provide entertainment. See LAMB on page 4

dent’s Scholarship Initiative. Other events in the festival are sponsored by various student groups. The festival does not specifically focus on one culture, Ross said. One of the festival’s goals is to have as much campus involvement as possible and to educate people about diversity, Ross said. “It’s really more than just diversity. Its really more of just trying to be inclusive and understanding of all people,” Ross said.

Fewer movies seen around globe By Richard Verrier McClatchy
Movie ticket sales may have been flat in the U.S. and Canada last year, but Hollywood's international cinema business soared to new heights in 2010. Global box-office receipts for all films released last year reached a high of $31.8 billion, an increase of 8 percent over 2009, according to a newly released report from the Motion Picture Assn. of America. The theatrical market statistics report, which the MPAA conducts annually, found that though ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada remained unchanged at $10.6 billion, international revenue jumped 13 percent between 2010 and 2009. The largest growth occurred in Latin America and the Asia Pacific region, which grew 25 percent and 21 percent, respectively, and accounted for $10.8 billion in box-office revenue. It marked the first time that Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which generated $10.4 billion in box-office revenue, accounted for less than half of all international ticket sales. China accounted for more than 40 percent of the Asia Pacific box office, although it remains a “highly restrictive market for foreign film distribution,” the report notes.
Horoscope Today's Birthday (02/25/11). The year will take you down new roads, sometimes twisty, sometimes straight, sometimes colorful, sometimes gray. It's up to you to make every step an adventure, enjoying its peaks and valleys. Notice the joy of being alive. It's all in the perspective. 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 9 — Your natural talent shines today.

“Despite a weak economy, shifting business models, and the ongoing impact of digital theft, we had another record year at the box office driven by growth outside of the U.S. and Canada,” said Bob Pisano, president and interim chief executive of the MPAA. Although the number of people who saw movies was up 3 percent last year at 223 million, each person saw fewer movies on average six in 2010 down from 6.5 the previous year. As a result, the total number of tickets sold in the U.S. and Canada dropped 5 percent to 1.34 billion, returning to the 2008 level. The survey also provided the clearest indication yet of the effect of premiumpriced 3-D movie tickets on box-office receipts. Movies in 3-D accounted for 21 percent, or $2.2 billion, of the total, nearly doubling 2009's level. One in three people in the U.S. and Canada saw a movie in 3-D in 2010. Revenue from 2-D movies dropped 11 percent in 2011 to $8.4 billion. Though the number of screens worldwide remain unchanged at about 150,000, the proportion of digital screens increased dramatically, with one-quarter of all screens now digital.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Have you considered public speaking? It's not as scary as it seems. Today's a perfect day to go public. Express yourself from the heart. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6 — Expressing yourself is important today, but be
patient with other people. They don't think like you do, and you can't expect them to act like it. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — Everything lines up correctly today. You're talented, and you have initiative. You even have the communication skills. Go for your heart's desire. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — Keep trying until you get it right. At the end, you end up with more (whether you like it or not). It's okay to want to be alone. Don't think too much. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Whisper sweet nothings. Don't spend on a whim. Be patient with your friends, and surround yourself with special people who appreciate you. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — Take some time to imagine your future.

more than two stories, and, in years past, an edible car contest. “Senior design students are going to be presenting the various projects they have been working over the past year,” mechanical engineering senior TJ Sweda said. “There are usually a bunch of demonstrations done by the departments. A previous demo was a miniature fire whorl.”
how they can make a low impact on the planet, Atwood said. The program has already passed the first Board committee and is in front of the second committee. Atwood said it needs to be in front of the Board by at least the first week of June in order to be ready for the fall
2011 semester. “The way we handled things 100 years ago wouldn’t be the best way now,” chemistry sophomore Gretchen Keller said. “A major like this will allow us to possess the knowledge and technology to take action and ensure a sustainable planet for future generations.”
Michael Haag, a senior who is on the committee, said he wants to “include everyone and make sure that everyone feels welcome.” Haag said students will benefit from learning about different cultures and areas of the world, and that it will help broaden students’ horizons. “I think a lot of times we stay in our own pockets of comfort,” Ross said. “So I think its good to have events where everyone can get together and be comfortable with each other (and) learn about other things. “It is just an opportunity to collaborate, try to be more inclusive of people, age, race,
ethnicity — everything.” Ross said to look for buttons with the festival logo around campus and at events. Taste of Our World is March 2 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Student Center Grand Ballroom. Food tickets are $1 each and long-sleeve T-shirts will be given to the first 150 students in attendance, Ross said. Haag encourages people to visit the festival website for more information because they are constantly working on keeping the events up-todate.

Patterson School program ‘GLBT’ lacks the ability simulation prepares students to accurately describe all for real-life global crisis non-heterosexual people By global standards, Americans are strangers to crises. Our nation is often perceived as being in its own little world. That is to our detriment. As a result, many find it hard to grasp the gravity of unstable political situations — especially as of late — in areas like Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. It’s downright ignoSHANNON rant to think these conFRAZER flicts don’t affect us. Kernel I don’t pretend to columnist know the intricacies of global cultural clashes, historical tensions and political motivations, but as a journalist, I recognize it is my responsibility to become an expert on these topics. I’ll have the opportunity to orient myself to the global arena today and Saturday, as my media convergence class covers the UK Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce global crisis simulation. For those of you unfamiliar with the simulation, this year marks the eighth anniversary of the exercise. First-year Patterson School graduate students will play the roles of various nations’ diplomats, whose goal during a 24-hour session will be to address potential global disasters and threats. “We tend to check with our contacts in Washington about the kinds of problems they are expecting and what they are worried about,” Patterson School Director Carey Cavanaugh said in a Feb. 24 UKNOW report. “From our discussions with the Pentagon, the State Department and academic think tanks, we come up with a scenario that might happen.” My class will join up with other College of Communications classes to deliver updates via live blogs, Twitter, video clips,
news releases and print stories, just like news venues would do in real times of emergency. It will be a grueling process, but I’ll certainly be more aware of potential reallife disasters upon its completion. With the increasing instability engulfing countries abroad, the scenarios undoubtedly will be preparation for the graduate students as well. I’m not just talking about warfare, either. Basic problems like the exploding human population and impending food shortages are already a concern, and perhaps should be moved up on Americans’ lists of global literacy to-dos. A Feb. 20 article from Agence FrancePresse — the world’s first international news agency — said the global population is expected to grow to 7 billion by the end of this year and predicts that by 2050, it will climb to 9 billion “with almost all of the growth occurring in poor countries, particularly Africa and South Asia.” In the article, Jason Clay from the World Wildlife Fund said to accommodate all those people, “we will need to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the last 8,000.” And although incomes are expected to triple globally and quintuple in developing nations, this will “add more strain to global food supplies.” The article said to combat this ensuing issue, governments and scientists need to start changing how and what food is produced now. While population growth and dwindling food supplies may be the least of the Patterson School diplomats’ worries in the simulation, it is a very real danger. Wake up, America. Learn about the world around you. With a little extra global awareness, the next impending danger could very well be a crisis averted. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior.

First of all, I have to make the point that I am a gay man. I am not, nor have I ever been bisexual, transgendered, questioning, etc. In fact, I abominate the term “GLBT” (Gay, LesPERRY bian, BisexGIBSON ual, Transgendered). Guest columnist I believe that with “GLBT” the communities that are represented in this term lose unity which is crucial for their respective group to effectively fight for their individual rights. Please do not misinterpret me. I believe in all of the rights for sexual minorities, but I cannot in all truth say that I understand enough about other non-heterosexual groups to put myself directly in their fight, because I don’t identify with their cause. I am not saying that one who is not bisexual cannot fight for the rights of bisexu-
als. But at the end of the day, the bisexuals have to justify themselves to others. It would be less effective for someone who is not bisexual to try to fight on the behalf of the bisexual demographic. I can relate to a very short extent with other sexual minorities in that we all seem to have a lack of rights. As far as all of the nonhetero groups combining, I can draw a comparison that would better explain my feelings. It would be like if all nonCaucasian groups came together and said that they had a common bond and struggle because they are not white. Groups dedicated to minorities in general do exist, but they are not as plentiful as the groups that work for one particular race. The fact is, we are not seeing a great deal of support groups for individual sexual minorities. I personally believe that a support group needs a theme that is more than just “we are different!” If I were distressed about being gay, I would not want
to go to a group with non-gay people, such as transgendered individuals, in it. We do not share a big enough bond for that to be justified. Another major issue that I see is the idea that all gay people are required to press a radical liberal agenda. I am gay, but I am also very pro-life. I also believe that it is my right to bear arms. Whether this means that I keep a hand gun under my pillow for protection or that I have a closet with 20 rifles, I believe it is my right. Although there are homosexuals who are very liberal in many ways, we must understand that just because someone is fighting for the right to marry doesn’t mean that he or she is trying to get government funding for abortion. My first issue is a plea to the non-heterosexual community. My second is to the stereotyped opinion that some of the masses might have about us. Perry Gibson is an international studies freshman.

UK Chorus brings ‘Broadway’ sound to campus By Taylor Riley

LAMB Continued from page 1 Last time I checked, sports are supposed to be fun and provide entertainment, so celebrations should be better embraced in today’s sporting culture. The Cats’ hand signal is reminiscent of the showmanship the Los Angeles Clippers frequently flaunted during the 2000-01 NBA season, a year in which the Clippers weren’t the best team in the NBA, yet they were arguably among the most exciting. That Clippers team was stocked with young talent, including Elton Brand (when
he was still a legitimate double-double threat), Lamar Odom (when he wasn’t eloped to a Kardashian), Corey Maggette (when he sported cornrows), Quentin Richardson (when he had yet to experience being traded multiple times) and Darius Miles (when he was still playing in the NBA). All five players were first- or secondyear pros at the time. Richardson and Miles, close friends with each other, began celebrating nice plays — 3-pointers, alley-oops, dunks, steals and almost everything else — with a signature two-handed fist bump to the forehead. (Example of Miles celebrating: bit.ly/g8qkHK) So, is the Cats’ celebra-
tion an homage to the former Clippers’ high-flying, pushthe-pace young guns? “Something like that, yeah,” Lamb said. “It’s our little thing we do and we’ll keep doing it ‘til the end of the year.” The Clippers never explained the symbolism of the fist bump, so don’t expect Lamb to break his silence anytime soon. Just know that the Cats continue to give the finger, three in fact, to those who don’t appreciate showmanship. What are your thoughts on the celebration? What’s your favorite celebration in sports?

The UK Choristers will be performing the third annual, 'A Night on Broadway,’ Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. 'A Night on Broadway' is presented by the UK College of Fine Arts, UK School of Music and UK Choirs. Audience members should expect a cabaret-type performance with songs from “My Fair Lady,” “Mary Poppins” and other Broadway hits. The UK Choristers are a 65-mixed voice choir and is the longest running performance organization at UK. "It's going to be an evening filled with good music with songs from the 1920s to today,” Brock Terry, director of choristers and director of ‘A Night on Broadway,’ said. “This is also the first time we have used an actual choreographer to choreograph the show- Diana Evans of The Diana Evans School of Dance in Lexington," Terry said.
EATING Continued from page 1 Thompson said the cheerleading team no longer follows the policy still posted on the team’s website, which says, “Squad members who acknowledge an eating disorder problem shall be suspended from performance (games and practices) and immediately referred to a member of the UKAA (University of Kentucky Athletics Association) training staff.” The old policy continues by saying, “Upon the recommendation of a physician and with the concurrence of the adviser and coach, the squad member may be returned to performance.” “We wouldn’t kick someone off because of that (having an eating disorder),”
UK catering services will begin serving hors d'oeuvres startWhat: UK Choristers ing at 7 p.m. When: Friday and Saturday and the music at 7 p.m. will begin at Where: Student Center 7:30 p.m. with Grand Ballroom food also served Admission: $10 for studuring the perdents, $15 for faculty and formance. "The stustaff, $25 for general public dents have been working really hard and we are looking forward to a great show.

Thompson said. He said the current policy “takes the guesswork out for coaches,” and “puts athletes through a series of steps.” He added that during his time with the team, “We really haven’t had very many instances.” A 2010 study from the University of South Carolina of 136 Division I and Division II cheerleaders found that one third of the polled cheerleaders were “at risk” for eating disorders, and cheerleaders with midriffbearing uniforms were more likely to have eating disorders. “Cheerleading, dancing and gymnastics attract eating disorders,” Foster said. “It’s a whole lot about how you look.” The National Eating Disorders Awareness Association lists sports that focus on appearance or have weight
limits, sports that focus more on individual performance versus team performance and endurance sports as all having increased risk for eating disorders. Treatment for athletes can be a long process, since they may have come to associate their performance with size. “It’s not like you get treated for two weeks then you’re good,” Jones said. She added that UK is committed to making sure athletes pursue health. “If you want to participate, you’ll do things in a healthy way,” Jones said. Jones said she believes UK coaches have demonstrated education about eating disorders and concern for the issue. “We’re not interested in sacrificing their personal health for our gain,” Thompson said.
