For the first time in 29 years, one of the most wellknown hangouts on campus is getting a makeover. UK’s 73-year-old Student Center will receive a $23 million renovation beginning this summer. Proposed by Student Government, the renovation project involves improvements in infrastructure and aesthetics, Vice President for Student Affairs Robert Mock said. Student Center Director John Herbst said the project is crucial to the improvement of the university. “The Student Center is the front door to the campus,” Herbst said. “It is a lasting first impression and has a tremendous impact on recruitment and overall image of the university.” SG President Ryan Smith said the renovation plan was the result of negotiations among different people on camps. “This is going to be an effort to transform the Student Center ... to a 21st century Student Center that has the amenities and services that students are used to,” Smith said. Mock said $18 million will go toward improvements in the infrastructure and $5 million will go toward a cosmetic face lift, but the funds appropriated will not be split exactly by these guidelines. “The reason it’s not as clean is because when certain things get done that qualify as infrastructure — like removing asbestos — they will serve a dual purpose,” Mock said. Structural improvements necessary to follow proper building codes will clean up the building’s appearance. “Plumbing and ventilation systems are not sexy, but they’re necessary,” Mock said. He said the project will be funded by $17.8 million in bond authority, reserve funds — including a $1 million contribution from President Lee Todd — and increases in student fees for the current and upcoming school years. Mock said the university will work with the project budget to reflect student interests as best it can. “We’re going to try to stretch the $23 million as far as we can and get as much bang for the buck as possible,” Mock said. Mock said renovations will begin in phases this summer and last between 18 to 24 months to avoid shutting the building down. Smith said student input is vital to the process. Surveys about renovations will be distributed after the new SG president is elected, he said. “Everybody that made this possible wants student input,” Smith said. “This is a student center, not an administrator center.” Smith said the goal is to create a more inviting and open facility that resembles modern architecture. “The hope is that with this $23 million renovation effort, students will be able to see a major notable difference in the Student Center from this past year to when it’s complete,” he said.

Author Wendell Berry accepts his National Humanities Medal Wednesday from President Barack Obama, along with 19 others.
Kentucky author, activist Berry receives national award By Becca Clemons bclemons@kykernel.com
President Barack Obama awarded renowned Kentucky author and environmental activist Wendell Berry the National Humanities Medal on Wednesday afternoon. Berry, 76, joined 19 other recipients of the 2010 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal at the White House to accept the award. Other 2010 recipients included authors Harper Lee and Joyce Carol Oates, singer James Taylor and actress
Meryl Streep. Berry, a farmer who lives in Henry County, is the author of more than 40 books. The White House release said Berry is receiving the award for achievements as a poet, novelist, farmer and conservationist, and for his career “exploring our relationship with the land and community.” “In a nation as big as ours, as diverse as ours,” Obama said, “what the people we honor here today remind us of is that kernel of ourselves that connects to everyone else and allows us to get out of
ourselves, to see through somebody else’s eyes, to step in their shoes. ” Berry was a member of the group “Kentucky Rising,” which staged a weekend-long sit-in at the Kentucky State Capitol Feb. 11 through Feb. 14 to protest irresponsible mining practices. He removed some of his personal papers from UK in December 2009 to protest the naming of the Wildcat Coal Lodge, a new dorm for men’s basketball players. The awards event took place at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday in the East Room of the White House.

Construction reveals spirited history Leaders By Jarrod Thacker news@kykernel.com
The pedestrian walkway over Cooper Drive will display school spirit for the remainder of the spring semester. Last October, a structural deficiency was discovered in the pedway that joins the W.P. Garrigus and Charles E. Barnhart buildings during a routine inspection. The structure has been shut down for repair since then, which has been an inconvenience to students. Recent work on the walkway has uncovered an enthusiastic “Go Cats!” painted on both sides of the now-exposed steel framing. This has left some curious as to who left this message more than 20 years ago. Lexington’s Harry Gordon Steel Co. Inc. originally furnished and installed the
construct. “I’ve lived in Lexington all of my life, and you can’t live in Lexington without being a Cats fan,” Ben Norris, owner of Harry Gordon Steel and UK alumus, said.

Emmy-winning journalist to talk ethics, inspire students By Corey Hord news@kykernel.com
Students will have the opportunity to hear an Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter speak at UK. Society of Professional Journalists President Hagit Limor will meet with students Thursday at noon in the Marguerite McLaughlin Room, better known as the Maggie Room, at the Grehan Journalism Building. Limor, who received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism at Northwestern University’s Medill School, currently represents more than 8,000 journalists as the national SPJ president. In addition to her nine Emmys, Limor has won three national Sigma Delta Chi awards from SPJ, a National Headliner Award and other various national, state and local awards for her aptitude as a writer and reporter. She welcomes students and professionals, journalists and non-journalists to attend the meeting where she hopes to “inspire students.” “Rather than define who is a journalist, I avoid all labels and invite anyone interested to come to the Society of Professional Journalists to learn best practices, ethical standards and other information that will make them a more effective communicator,” Limor said. “In what some see as bleak times as our industry changes, they are the future of our craft, which ensures our democracy.” Mike Farrell, co-adviser of the SPJ campus chapter and assistant professor at the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, said the school invited her to campus early on. “The chances that we’ll have another SPJ president within driving distance in the next five years is not very good,” Farrell said.
Al Cross, the other SPJ co-adviser, the director of Rural Journalism and Community Issues and assistant professor in the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, served as SPJ president from 2001 to 2002. He discussed the demands as president and how difficult it is to arrange many campus visits. “It’s an honor for the chapter, school and campus to have the president pay a visit,” Cross said. Speaking from experience as president, Cross mentioned that acting as president of SPJ can amount to another full-time job as well as the responsibility of “improving and protecting journalism.” Limor stressed that she wants to reach not only journalists, but also non-journalists. “I believe we’re at a pivotal moment as means of communications expand exponentially, allowing many more people to disseminate their views than in the past,” Limor said. “Of all people, students today are equipped almost innately with the latest technological skills to take old media into the future. But as they use those skills, they must base them in what never changes — the best practices of journalism,” Limor said. When visiting chapters, Limor takes pleasure in meeting people who share her passion about what SPJ journalists do and their responsibilities in society. Farrell said journalism is a rapidly changing profession. “SPJ works hard to keep journalists abreast of the changes,” Farrell said. “SPJ meetings offer events for students to learn more about their chosen field, as well as to interact and network with professionals.” Food will be served during the meeting, which is scheduled to last about one hour.

War criminals get Bush’s Memoir By Nancy Black MCT
One Sudanese prisoner is filling his hours until release reading “Decision Points,” George W.

Another is being home-schooled every other week inside a cell, learning the astronomy, math, grammar, Shakespeare, even elocution, he never got as a child of al-Qaida. These are the war criminals of Guantanamo Bay. They are four convicts — captured as a cook, a kid, a small-arms trainer and a videographer — kept out of sight of visitors in a segregated cellblock of a SuperMax-style, 100-cell, $17 million penitentiary. Because each man was sentenced for war crimes by a U.S. military jury, three after guilty pleas in exchange for short sentences, theirs is what the Pentagon calls “punitive confinement.” They are “prisoners” set apart from the other 168 captives at what former

I’m all jacked up! By Luke Glaser features@kykernel.com
It is the most popular, most used drug on college campuses. Consumed in mass quantities, it is taken by students and professors alike. They use it early in the morning and late in the evening. They take it in the middle of class and in the quiet of dorm rooms. It is 137 trimethylxanthine, known more commonly by its street name, caffeine. March is Caffeine Awareness Month, 31 days devoted to the study of caffeine and its intake. According to http://www.coffeestatistics.com, Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, which amounts to a staggering 146 billion cups of coffee per year. For many, this habit begins while they are students. “I didn’t start until college, but now I drink chai tea every morning,” international studies junior Meredith Swim said. “I feel better, my day gets a little bit brighter, and I feel chic holding a coffee cup”. She is by no means alone. English sophomore Ellie Kettinger, a campus Starbucks barista, said an average shift usually keeps her busy. “There are steadily eight people always in line,” she said. While coffee may be one of the most popular caffeinated beverages, it certainly isn’t the only one. Caffeine can be found in Coca Cola, chocolate bars, tea and energy drinks. While research shows caffeine elevates ones mood, it also has some consequences. “Caffeine is definitely addictive,” said Jill Kindy, a registered dietician with UK Health Services. “It boosts energy, increases alertness and elevates concentration. But the more you use it, the more you need it.” Kindy says that the addiction often begins in the high school or collegiate years because students need coffee to stay awake in the morning and then to get their work done late at night. “It can become a nev-

er-ending cycle,” Kindy said. “You guys are addicted because you’ve been consuming it a lot of years. You are raised on Starbucks”. When you become sleepy, a molecule in your brain called adenosine begins attaching to adenosine receptors. To the brain, caffeine looks like adenosine, and so caffeine binds to the adenosine receptors, keeping you awake and alert. While caffeine has many positive benefits, Kindy advises moderation. “The general consensus is that caffeine is fine in moderation,” she said. “The recommended dose is about 200-300 milligrams a day”. This translates to about two cups of coffee (that would be a tall for those familiar with the jargon), and many students consume much more than the recommended amount. Overconsumption has negative and potentially dangerous effects. “It definitely puts a strain on your heart,” Kindy said. Completely throwing off caffeine, however, is not exactly easy. “When I don’t have caffeine my mood is affected,” Swim said. “I am more cranky in the afternoon. College has definitely addicted me to caffeine”. Kindy said the solution lies in a gradual weaning process. If you have three cups of coffee a day, try to cut it down to two. Also, try foods and beverages that give you natural energy (an apple gives you the same amount of energy as a cup of coffee). For those who cannot forsake the mocha, Kettinger will be more than happy to whip something up. “I’d say just get anything with a shot of expresso,” she said, “or go with a tea. They have caffeine, but not as much.” Kettinger also suggested frappucinos, as they are mostly steamed milk. Happy Caffeine Awareness Month. Enjoy your tea, coffee and Red Bull.

My Morning Jacket Just passing through: Two bands stop at UK SAB’s spring show pick By Derek Operle features@kykernel.com
“The Pass” and “Walk The Moon” may sound like dance moves from the ‘80s, but they are bands performing free concerts on Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Cat’s Den. “Walk The Moon is like if David Bowie had a baby with Cincinnati, Ohio,” said Nicole Beletsis, a Student Center programmer, of the up-and-coming dance-rockers
If you go What: Walk the Moon and The Pass When: Thursday at 8 p.m. Where: Cat’s Den Admission: Free
from Cincinnati, Ohio. With a sound that is at times reminiscent of Bowie and, at others, The Killers, members of Walk the Moon have crafted their own indie rock sound.
Cece Simandl, the Cat’s Den concert coordinator, found it difficult to classify the band into any single genre, simply saying that “they write ultracatchy, creative songs that make you just want to get up and sing and dance along with them.” The evening’s headliners, The Pass, are from Louisville. Highly touted by some music bloggers and Louisville natives , The Pass has gone on to play in venues all around the country. Simandl described their sound as being in its own version of “psychedelic techrock.” Beletsis said she was happy to be putting on the show because it was exciting to be bringing a band that she reads about on blogs to campus. “Listening to The Pass is like looking at colors that don’t exist,” she said. As the Cat’s Den concerts coordinator, Simandl
has been striving to further the development of Kentucky’s music scene by bringing in a diverse mix of both local and visiting bands. Simandl said she sees college as the time when people start to develop their taste in music, and she hopes that, by putting on shows like this one, she can help people grow musically. Beletsis is also trying to affect the local music scene. She recalled a few years ago when indie group Vampire Weekend played in Lexington to a disappointingly small crowd only to grow exponentially in popularity months later. “Don’t let this be another Vampire Weekend,” Simandl said. “Come to this show. You will not be disappointed.” Beletsis can sum up Thursday’s Cat’s Den concert in a few words: “Face paint. Dance Party. You’re dumb if you don’t go.”

Students able to nominate star faculty UK Alumni Association offers Great Teacher Awards By Genevieve Adams news@kykernel.com
It’s so easy, a student should do it. UK students can nominate great teachers and recognize them for their efforts. The UK Alumni Association is accepting nominations for its annual Great Teacher Award now through May 6. Only students can submit nominations, and the faculty member must have been a part of UK faculty for the past three years. Students are welcome to tell the nomination committee why they think a teacher deserves to be recognized for their superior efforts in education and involving their students. “I nominated my teacher I had last semester because I feel like teachers don’t get the recognition they deserve,” student nominator Hollis Gargala said. “The person I nominated, I think, went beyond what he needed to and I think sincerely wanted his students to do well and succeed in his class.” The Alumni Association encourages students to think about a teacher who has impacted them and take the time to fill out a form online to get a teacher recognized. Jill Smith, associate director for clubs and programs for the Alumni Association, said the award is important because the core of the university is great teaching. “For teachers to be nominated for their
work in the classroom means a lot to them,” Smith said. “It’s another way for students to thank them for what they’ve learned (and) to thank them for the experience they’ve provided in the classroom.” Robin Boughey, the clubs and programs assistant at the Alumni Association, said the award process takes almost a year. “We start accepting nominations in the spring for the teachers that will be rewarded in the fall,” Boughey said. “We have a committee that reads over them and ranks them based on the content of the nomination.” Once selected, the teachers are surprised in their classrooms with balloons and the smiling faces of the students who nominated them. The Alumni Association also sponsors a the banquet for the teachers they choose from the nominations. “We host the banquet then, and they’re recognized for their efforts, and they invite family and friends and anyone they want to spend this time with,” Boughey said. The program brings together the three components of the university: the students who nominate, the teachers being nominated and alumni. “If my teacher does get nominated, I can’t wait to see his face!” Gargala said. “It’s a big deal and accomplishment to be liked by your students, and all teachers should know that.”
Construction begun on new men’s basketball dorm Wildcat Coal Lodge set for completion in March 2012 By Nicole Schladt news@kykernel.com
Construction of Wildcat Coal Lodge, an $8 million residence hall project, is underway in the Bluegrass. This future home for the UK men’s basketball players will take about 355 calendar days to build and will house 32 students. “We’re glad to see it’s gotten started,” Senior Associate Athletics Director Russ Pear said. “There is a desire for our student- athletes to get
in there.” There are currently plans to have a tribute to the coal industry in the primary entrance lobby of the lodge, featuring multimedia exhibits that emphasize the importance of coal to Kentucky. Photographs, sound and video are all potential components of the exhibits. Forty Nine Degrees, an Ohio-based design company, will be in charge of creating the graphics used throughout the lodge and tribute. The company, athletics
officials and corporate donors will meet soon to discuss specifics about the tribute, Pear said. “We’ll all continue to keep an eye on everything until construction is complete,” Pear said. D.A.G. Construction Co., Inc. began erecting the construction fence Feb. 16. According to the construction schedule, substantial completion is currently scheduled for Feb. 4, 2012, while final completion is scheduled for March 5, 2012.

The rock band My Morning Jacket performs Oct. 1, 2004, at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Penn. By Matt Murray mmurray@kykernel.com
The Kentucky natives are coming home. Wednesday morning, the Student Activities Board announced that My Morning Jacket will be coming to UK for SAB’s annual Spring Concert on April 17. SAB takes into account student polls, research and price when selecting artists for concerts, and SAB concert director Chris Duncan said he was excited to have My Morning Jacket because they seemed like the best fit. “For this concert, people were kind of burnt out on the straight hip-hop shows, so we decided to bring back some straight rock,” Duncan said. “It’s gonna be even bigger. Their shows are really
theatrical. There will be 400 or 500 more seats available than there were for Drake.”
If you go What: My Morning Jacket When: April 17 at 7 p.m. Where: Memorial Coliseum Admission: $25 for floor seats, $20 for upper level. My Morning Jacket was formed in Louisville, Ky., in 1998, and the group has done extensive touring since its inception. The group’s fifth studio album, “Evil Urges,” led to its biggest taste of national success, and it has sold out venues across the country ever since. The group’s Kentucky roots only amplify its suc-
cess in the bluegrass. “A lot of the shows My Morning Jacket does are festivals,” Duncan said. “This being just over 6,000 seats will let a lot of students come but will be one of their more intimate shows. “It’ll only cost half of what most of those others shows would cost.” Tickets will go on sale 9 a.m. Monday in the Student Center ticket office and will be available only to students for the first three days. Floor seats will be $25, while upper level will be $20. On Thursday, students will be able to purchase guest tickets and on Saturday, the sales will open to the public.

Sheen is ‘winning’ in the media Charlie Sheen is not a role model. In fact, I would make the claim that he’s the antonym of the definition. But if there’s one thing that Sheen is it is entertainSARA NELLE ing. MURPHY The Kernel actor, columnist most noted for his role on the show “Two And A Half Men” and films such as “Platoon” and “Wall Street,” has been a media fixture for quite some time now, but for nothing that his momma would be proud of. A string of charges for drug use and domestic violence plastered on the covers
of celebrity magazines have created this persona of Sheen as the “bad boy” of Hollywood. Recently, though, this celebrity gossip has reached viral mania. His eccentric interview on Feb. 28 for “Good Morning America” showed an erratic Sheen “reflecting” on his troubles. But instead of a Barbara Walters-esque cry-fest, the captivated audience was hit full-force with a show of pompous arrogance and disdain. But Sheen’s attitude is not the only thing that’s making headlines. Instead, we are filling our Twitter hashtags with the ridiculous lingo that Sheen coined. Phrases such as “I’m not bipolar, I’m biwinning,” and “tiger blood” have become the latest words on the tips of our tongues and at the punch of the keyboard.
While I’m not an avid celebrity-watcher or Twitter fiend, I have to admit that I jumped on the bandwagon and, upon hearing that Sheen had made himself a Twitter account, immediately started “following” him. Why did I do this? Because even if I think that Sheen is a disgusting bottomfeeder in the celebrity animal kingdom, I can’t help but enjoy the absurdity of his ego and his new foray into shameless self-promotion. It’s a reflection of society’s focus on the individual for no other reason than to create a persona of narcissism. Whether you’re a celebrity or not, anyone can create a persona using social networking to be your own best advertising. And that’s something to tweet about.

CAROLINE COLLINS, Kernel cartoonist
As the semester goes on and we get ready for spring break, most of us are finalizing our housing arrangements for the next semester. There are several things we must consider when choosing housing. One is the way we will be treated by management of a property we choose to give our money to for providing us housing services. We expect to be treated like a human being in return — a pretty simple proposition, you might say. Well, I must warn you all of my experiences with Newtown Crossing. The experience I had with them is befitting of a horror novel. When you register with Newtown Crossing, you are given a lease, which supposedly prohibits boarders from staying in your apartment. However, do not breathe too much into this, as the management at Newtown is either too inept or stupid to enforce this key provision.
After repeated violations of this provision of the contract, I informed management of my desire to leave the complex. I did not seek damages for the computer, which was destroyed by a boarder, let alone other items that were stolen, and which Newtown couldn’t have cared less about. End of story, after months of paperwork with the Better Business Bureau (by the way, check out their dismal rating with the BBB), and back and forth with an attorney, I have not been able to get back my rent yet for three months that I was not able to live at the complex due to the horrible environment. I highly discourage anyone from doing business with this lying, stealing bunch. The manager will ignore any requests you put forth for remedies to a situation, and when finally cornered, will act in a most offensive and unprofessional manner. Charles Fackler Louisville, Ky.

Cats prepare for tournament, enjoy first-round bye By T.J. Walker sports@kykernel.com
The Southeastern Conference women’s basketball tournament starts Thursday in Nashville, Tenn., and No. 16 UK has already accomplished one of its goals. The top four teams in the conference receive a bye from the first round of the tournament and an extra day of rest. Heading into the final two games of the season, it was unclear whether or not UK would finish in the top four. If the Cats won one of its remaining two, it seemed probable, but if UK won both, it was guaranteed. After the Cats knocked off Arkansas on a game-winning layup by sophomore guard A’dia Mathies on senior night, UK clinched a bye, but the Cats knew a win at Auburn in the season finale would place them where the preseason coaches’ ranking did at the beginning of the
season: second. The Cats beat Auburn 7662 leaving UK head coach Matthew Mitchell pleased. “We are pleased with how the regular season ended,” Mitchell said. “I was particularly happy about how our players went about earning the victory at Auburn. I just thought that we played so hard and played great pressure defense, and we had talked to them about playing Kentucky basketball.” The win puts UK (22-7, 11-5 SEC) on a three-game winning streak and noticeably playing with momentum, something that differs from last season. Although UK went to the SEC Championship game last season, ultimately falling to Tennessee 70-62, the Cats went into postseason play on a two-game losing streak. But Mitchell says the poor performance to finish the regular season was a wake-up call, a lesson that can be learned this season. “We had a very poor per-
formance the last day of the regular season at Auburn ,and we sort of learned that we had to play a certain way, and we went down there (SEC Tournament), played three straight days of really tough up-tempo basketball,” Mitchell said. “I think our team gained confidence from that.” The Cats have the advantage of being able to rest the opening day and scout their next opponent, which will be either the No. 7 seed Louisiana State or No. 10 Alabama. UK was able to win at Alabama earlier this season 8269, but its home game against LSU wasn’t as comfortable. LSU took the Cats to the wire and actually led late in the game. But similar to the Arkansas game, Mathies had the ball in her hands late in the game, penetrated to the lane and instead of taking the last shot, passed at the last second to a wide-open Brittany Henderson, who made the layup with 1.1 seconds re-
Finishing the job UK finally able to capture a close, late-game win By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Head coach John Calipari knew the Vanderbilt comeback was coming. He told his guys it would be a fight, a true test of their mettle. UK hadn’t lost in Rupp Arena yet this year; this would be its toughest victory. Given UK’s troubles with close games this year, he wanted the test. “I told them this is going to be a close one; we need it,” Calipari said. “We need this to be a close game.” UK was 0-5 in games decided by less than five points. Although it was difficult to tell which was the actual underlying reason for the losses — the road or the close games? — UK addressed one of those by prevailing over Vanderbilt by two points. It may have been just one game, but for a young team, this late in the season, used to seeing games slip away, it was beneficial PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFF from a mental perspective Terrence Jones drives to the basket against Vanderbilt on Tuesday. UK as much as anything. was 0-5 in games decided by less than five points prior to Tuesday. “More games we’ve played like ‘We can’t lose, the close battles. we can’t lose,” Terrence Jones said. “But “The problem is I seem to be the only guy tonight we played like we’re going to win this. thinking that way,” Calipari said. We’re doing whatever it takes to win this.” The win against Vanderbilt may have been Calipari has always contended it’s demon- a breakthrough moment.

maining. And while both Alabama and LSU play a different style and tempo, Mitchell isn’t too concerned in prepping specifically for either team but is just worrying about his particular team and his own brand of basketball. “What we try to do going into the tournament, and for the rest of this season, however many games we are able to play, is we will focus mainly on Kentucky,” Mitchell said. “There are cer-
tain things that we need to do that we can control, and right now, we can’t control what happens on Thursday between LSU and Alabama.” A key element to winning with such short rest is having a quality and quantity of depth, something the Cats have. In its last game against Auburn, a game that was closer than the score indicates, UK played 10 players, nine of which clocked 13 or more minutes.
“I have always thought that our style of play is always built for tournament play,” Mitchell said. “I think it is hard to get ready for with such little preparation time. That’s our plan. The depth this year is greater than the depth was last year. “ If the Cats can find a way to win Friday, they will move to the semifinals Saturday and will possibly play Mississippi State, Auburn or Vanderbilt, teams UK is 5-0 against this season.
