Children star in UK Opera production Play originally performed during the Holocaust By Brian Hancock news@kykernel.com
The UK Opera Theatre will present “Brundibar,” an opera originally performed by children during the Holocaust, Friday at 10 a.m. in the Singletary Center for the Arts. The opera was performed 55 separate times by children at the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, beginning in 1943. Its script was written in 1938 by Polish composer Hans What: “Brundibar” Krasa. Krasa wrote When: Friday at 10 a.m., the piece for a Sunday at 4 p.m. contest, which Where: Singletary Center was eventually for the Arts canceled when Admission: $18 for general the Nazis inadmission vaded. After he was transported to Theresienstadt, Krasa rewrote the opera and cast it with children at the camp. The story begins with two children trying to raise money for their sick mother. They sing in the streets, but Brundibar, an evil organ grinder, chases them out of town. Eventually, a cat, bird, dog and group of children help the two kids sing over Brundibar so that they can collect enough money for their mother. The story became a source of hope for the people of the camp. Friday, “Brundibar” will be put on by a cast of 50 children from 26 different grade schools in the Lexington community. Seventh graders from Fayette County Public Schools will be in attendance. Holocaust survivor and original cast member Ela Weissberger will join them. Weissberger played the cat in the original production, and will be on hand to speak to the audience. “Ela is an amazing lady,” Richard Kagey, the show’s director, said. “She absolutely mesmerized the cast the other night at rehearsal.” Kagey, who works a full-time freelance director, has directed or designed more than 150 operas all across the country. He said casting for the production began in late October, and rehearsal has been ongoing since January. “I find this piece fascinating musically and because of its connection to the Holocaust,” he said. “It is an amazing tribute to the people who survived.” See HOLOCAUST on page 2

Couture in the Muslim world Religious headware breaks fashion barriers By Emily Cornett news@kykernel.com
The motto, “from prayer to the catwalk” is creating a whole new line of “haute” burkhas, and a whole new line of study. Geography Professor Anna Secor has been studying the trend towards more fashionable burkhas in Turkey. She calls this new trend Veiling Fashion. Veiling fashion refers to veils and the traditional full body covering becoming closer fitting and more modern in design, Secor said. “It’s an act of Islam within a consumer economy,” Secor said. According to the U.S. Department of State website, Turkey became a “democratic, secular and parliamentary” government after a military coup in 1980. Many women in Turkey took this as a chance to go to college and stop wearing veils. “Young women putting them (veiling fashion burkhas) on own mothers didn’t even wear veils,” Secor said. Secor said these young women are criticized by traditional Muslim leaders and secular society. She sees the new style of burkhas as too revealing and the former seeing the burkha as backwards no matter what. See FASHION on page 2

DeQuin Evans runs the 40-yard dash in front of NFL scouts at UK’s pro day on Thursday. UK players participated in front of scouts from 26 NFL teams.
Running for the draft: Pro Day By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
A few years ago, it would have been easy for NFL teams to forget about DeQuin Evans. As recently as 2003, pro day for the UK football team was a quiet affair. No members of the media would show up, and only a handful of scouts from NFL teams would bother to show up. That meant that players like Evans would probably be off the radar for NFL teams. Evans, a defensive end, entered his senior season in 2010 with high expectations. He burst on to the scene in 2009 after transferring from a junior college, leading the team with 12.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. He garnered a handful of preseason All-SEC honors and was named a team captain before the beginning of the season. Then he injured his shoulder in fall camp. He played most of the season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, though the public didn’t know it at the time. The result was a disappointing senior year; 16 tackles, four tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in 12 games. He had surgery after the season on his shoulder, and has been rehabbing since. This year, 26 NFL teams sent representatives to UK’s pro day. Evans said he’s heard from about four or five teams that are interested in him and have asked him for some personal information, but making an impression at pro day could still make a big impact for
him. “It’s a huge day for me. I don’t let a day go by that I haven’t thought about it, that I haven’t been working towards having a good day,” Evans said. “For a guy like me, this can only boost my status. It can’t really hurt me. I knew that I had to come out here and do something to boost my stock.” Evans was still limited in his workout as he works to rehab his shoulder. He could even feel the effects of it in the drills he did participate in, pointing out that he wasn’t as able to swing his arm as freely as he would have liked in drills like the 40-yard dash, which could have a negative effect on his explosiveness. The six teams not present at pro day were the Cowboys, Bears, Chargers, Raiders, Buccaneers and Bears. “All it takes is one team to like you,” UK head coach Joker Phillips said. “Look at Alfonso Smith.” Smith was a running back who fought through a hand injury during his senior year in 2009, losing his starting job while watching his stock fall. He wasn’t invited to the combine, but after pro day and workouts, he was signed by the Arizona Cardinals. He was cut in fall camp, but re-signed during the season and finished the year on the team’s roster. That’s the kind of scenario Evans could be hoping for. With some hard work and a solid workout, he’s hoping to keep his NFL dreams See PRO DAY on page 4
UK uses Facebook to help recruit students By Fink Densford news@kykernel.com
UK wants to be your friend on Facebook. Prospective UK students may be seeing this more often as social networking sites become an important tool in college recruitment. A 2010 Kaplan survey reported that 82 percent of admissions officers use Facebook as part of their admissions and recruitment process, and 56 percent use Twitter. “We use it to the degree of getting information out to students– working with public relations and marketing to try and get in touch with students,” Stephen Barnett, associate director of Admissions at UK, said. UK even has its own Twitter account, which Barnett said could be used to respond and communicate to prospective students who had questions about coming to UK.
“I think it is extremely important to try to stay in the future as much as possible with social networking because it is so prevalent, specifically with age group for incoming freshman,” Barnett said.
“We have to make sure we have a presence so we’re not missing students.” STEPHEN BARNETT associate director of Admissions
While social networking sites may be used for recruiting, Barnett said they were not checking the Facebook or Twitter pages of new students to decide whether or not to admit prospective students.
“In terms of searching out students through their Facebook or Twitter pages, we’re not doing that at all,” Barnett said. “It’s not changing any time in the future.” For prospective graduate students, however, Facebook and Twitter do not play an important role, said Patricia Bond, dean assistant senior of the Graduate School. “The Graduate School has passed on opportunities to add social media contact for prospective graduate students,” Bond said. Bond said that graduate student recruitment process was still more focused on the faculty, but that they were open to changes in the future. “We, quite naturally, will continue to listen to trends, but thus far, prospective graduate students do not seem to use social media in the process of admissions decision-makSee FACEBOOK on page 2
Patterson School students visit Atlanta for break Spring trip planned to show students the international side of companies By Taylor Moak tmoak@kykernel.com
Students from the Patterson School of Diplomacy are taking a different kind of spring break. Next week, the students will tour several agencies and corporations in Atlanta that work internationally, said Carey Cavanaugh, retired ambassador and director of the Patterson School.
Newsroom: 257-1915 Advertising: 257-2872 First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
The trip was built around the idea of a visit to the border, Cavanaugh said, because Atlanta is a stop for much international travel to the United States. The students will visit the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, he said, where they can see how the federal government manages people entering the country. Hartsfield airport is the

busiest airport in the country, and Cavanaugh said the students will see the citizenship side of international travel, including immigration. The students will also visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where they will see how the center is working to eradicate malaria and HIV worldwide, Cavanaugh said. They will visit Zoo Atlanta, one of the few zoos outside of China to have giant pandas. Cavanaugh said the zoo will show students how the zoo negotiates with China.

Some of the corporate stops for the students include Delta Airlines, CNN International, Coca Cola and the global investment company Invesco. Matt Koch and Fausto Sarmiento are two of the 22 Patterson students going on the trip. Koch said the trip would be a “great opportunity to see the innerworkings of how governments do their work.” He said few people get to have the access they will be granted at places like Hartsfield airport.

Secor and Gökarıksel have surveyed 174 veiling fashion firms, interviewed marketers and sales people and garmet workers. Their website http://veilingfashion.unc.edu, lists publications from The New York Times to Jakarta News discussing veiling fashions. “The question of veiling
fashion is very big in Turkey,” Secor said. “You can see elements of what we are calling veiling fashion all over the world.” It is mostly younger women who wear veiling fashions, Secor said. Their mothers who are against it have a familiar view. “They say ‘when I was younger I had to wear a looser burkha’ or ‘it was backwards to wear a veil when I went to college,’” Secor said jokingly.

Film uses motion capture animation By Rick Bentley McClatchy
Actors love working on animated movies because it's so easy: Just say a few lines into a microphone and pick up your check. That wasn't the case with "Mars Needs Moms," where filmmakers used a process called motion capture to create the animation. Instead of just speaking, the actors had to perform every scene. Film of those performances was used to make computer-generated images. "This was the hardest acting job I've ever done," says Seth Green, who spent most of the four-week shooting schedule in a harness to simulate the lesser gravity of Mars. Motion capture allows for some movie magic. The 36-year-old Green ends up looking like a 10 year old. Actors performed the scenes on a soundstage with only minimal scenery. If characters had to hold items like phones they were given pieces of plastic with similar shapes. They wore nondescript, tight-fitting suits to help animators work with their movements. Multiple cameras, including an array around each actor's face, filmed the scenes. Many of the actors ended up with bumps and bruises. Elisabeth Harnois said her face ached because her character perpetually smiles. And every step she took had to be carefully choreo-

graphed because apparently a Martian's gait is more like a horse's stride. "One of the great compliments that our director Simon Wells gave me was that the thing that everyone needs to appreciate is that it takes a certain kind of actor to be able to deliver a performance in motion capture," Harnois says. "Some of the greatest actors often don't come across because they are more subtle actors. "I can be subtle but I knew for this I had to go to my childhood, Disney, over-the-top place. There's something so liberating about doing that." Along with the physical work, Harnois also helped create a Martian language. "Elisabeth and Mindy (Sterling) came in already fluent in Martian. They could ad lib stuff that sounded marvelous," says director Simon Wells. "We came up with a list of instructions, exclamations, emotional ideas we needed and they would come up with the phrase." Those ad libs became a Martian dictionary that was recorded and given to the rest of the cast. Joan Cusack didn't have to worry about the new language, since she plays one of the Earth moms Mars needs. Despite the physicality, she says she loved the motion capture work. "It's completely different from working on a film like 'Toy Story' because this is really performance," Cusack says. "This is really acting because you're there and working with other people. It's really fast and really fun."

Why America should remain neutral Recently, the American public has been throwing around the idea of grounding the Libyan government in an attempt to assist the rebels, and the Obama administration has only sent mixed signals on the idea. What we will end up NOLAN doing is anyGRAY one's best contributing guess, but I columnist can only hope we stay out of the situation. Why, you ask? Well, for a few reasons. In the following points I will attempt to outline some of the possible negative repercussions of American military intervention. Which leads me to my first point. Make no mistake about establishing a no-fly zone: U.S. military will be called upon to ground the Libyan Air Force if/when the no-fly measures are inevitably disregarded by the Libyan government. So, in this event, where does this put us? Well, we can enforce it, this option entailing military attacks on Libya, which at best will intensify ground fighting, at worst will rally more pro-Gadhafi forces at the sight of Western involvement. Or we could ignore it, and halfheartedly enforce our demands with talk and sanctions which would only serve to diminish our
legitimacy among other nations. Either way, things aren't pretty. A military involvement could begin as merely to ground Libyan jets and helicopters, but what's next? A full on invasion of Libya to defend rebel ground forces? Should we stick around and help them set up their own government? In the hopes of not getting ourselves stuck in another possible decade long civil war, I advocate that we stay out of the situation. My second argument is more principled: America is not, and should not be, the world police. Does America have a responsibility to partake in every revolution that occurs? And what's there to say we'll get exactly what we want through intervention? But that will be discussed in detail later on. In the early years of this nation, Thomas Jefferson took great pains to remain neutral on a war between the French and the British, and this circumstance was far closer to us than the Libyan civil war. Why do we now feel the need to take a stance on every political occurrence? Or better yet, why should we go over to someone else's country to impose our will? The view that America should involve itself in every conflict is not only arrogant, but seriously dangerous to our national security. This leads in to my final point. Blow-back in our foreign policy is incredibly difficult to predict at times. When we armed and trained Afghan religious fighters to fend off the Soviets, we could never have predicted they would
in the future use the training and tech we provided them against us. This is one among hundreds of examples of our needless foreign policy initiatives coming back to bite us. As mentioned earlier, what if Western intervention inspires more Libyans to support their government and the pro-Gadhafi forces? Then we have one more enemy in the region that will no doubt close off markets and negotiation which could have helped liberalize the country. What if the rebel groups we support don't form the type of liberal democracy we want them to form? Or worse, what if another authoritarian state is established? In all of these circumstances, enemies of America will have plenty of fuel to feed the fire of Middle Eastern, anti-American sentiment if we get involved. Overall, I think the case for neutrality is clear. Our current foreign policy of getting involved in every situation not only over-extends our military, but it establishes us as the world police, which many groups come to resent. This not only undermines our international standing, but it undermines our security. Make no mistake, I wholly support the Libyan cause for liberty. But rather than lead through force, America should lead by example, and it is with a strong example of a peaceful and free republic that the cause of liberty will continue to spread.

KERNEL EDITORIAL The encouraging messages on the mirrors across campus have disappeared. The National Eating Disorders Awareness events have ended. But many UK students with eating disorders are still with us, and hopefully UK has an increased awareness of a problem that is prevalent on a national scale. In a Feb. 24 article, the Kernel reported that as many as 10 million females and 1 million males in the U.S. have eating disorders. According to the UK HealthCare professionals cited in the article, eating disorders are a problem at UK, as well, and have come to also be a problem amongst international students and males. The Kernel salutes the measures taken across campus to create a healthy environment during National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and encourages students and faculty alike to continue in the same positive mindset during the other 51 weeks of a year. All students, whether they have disordered eating habits or not, can
benefit from a healthy perspective of their bodies that is not influenced by obsessive pursuit of perfection or skewed media depictions. Students with eating disorders exhibit self-destructive habits, but many students without a clinical disorder still suffer from a skewed body image and harsh self-criticism. The Kernel encourages those students who think that they may have an eating disorder or an unhealthy obsession with either food or appearance to use the free services at their disposal through UK. Take a free online screening at http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/C ounseling/onlineScreen.html. Use the free professional counseling services UK offers through the Counseling Center located in Frazee Hall. If you feel uncomfortable going alone, grab a friend and go to a free group therapy session. Eating disorders tend to flourish in secret. It is each member of the UK community’s responsibility to create an open environment that can end the secrecy and foster health.

Cats draw Ole Miss in SEC tourney By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
ATLANTA, Ga — Ole Miss, fresh off a win over South Carolina on Thursday and already looking forward to its matchup against UK, wasn’t planning on watching a lot of film of its next opponent. “With the exposure that comes with that program, I don’t have to show tape tonight,” Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy said. “We all know who Brandon Knight is, and Terrence Jones likes to go left and if you leave Doron Lamb open he’s going to make it.” Notice how those three names popped up. When asked about the gameplan against UK, Ole Miss forward Terrance Henry tossed out the same three names. “We feel like their top three scorers are freshmen, we try to limit their touches, limit their scoring,” Henry said. “We try to make somebody beat us other than those three.” UK might be saying the same thing about having to limit Chris Warren, who scored 22 points in a twopoint Rebel win over UK earlier this year. “He gets so much attention that the other four people
on the court are not really even acknowledged,” Henry said. “I don’t think it’s an insult. He’s been our team. If I was another team, I would do the same thing.” That means the rest of Ole Miss is going to be ready to step up. UK head coach John Calipari said there were four positions UK could not guard on the dribble the last time the two teams met. “I think we match up well against them,” Warren said. “They play man (defense) majority, which plays to our strengths.” Said Calipari: “I like his chances, too.” However, that game was on the road. This time, it’s on a neutral site — technically. Kennedy fully expects the Georgia Dome’s red and black seats to be fully filled with blue. He said the atmosphere would create a “Final Four” feel to the game, which would be an advantage for UK. “Now, granted, it’s going to be like Rupp East, because obviously — or west, would it be west? East? West? Where are we? South? South. It’s going to be like Rupp South.” The disadvantage for UK, however, could be in the unfamiliarity with the arena. The Georgia Dome has been

Brandon Knight is one of three UK players that the Ole Miss coach mentioned in prepping for the game on Friday. split in half, with the court essentially placed where the end zone would be. It creates a weird feel to the game. “Now we have played in the building, made a couple shots in the building,” Kennedy said. “The newness of the Georgia Dome is an
advantage (for us).” Ole Miss has a game already under its belt, UK doesn’t. That’s a concern for Calipari. “One of the things is that this is (the young player’s) first time in the tournament,” he said.
PRO DAY Continued from page 1 alive. Thanks to UK’s pro day, he still has shot at professional football. “I feel like I came out here and did some good things,” he said. “I could get better at some other things, but all in all I think I came out here and showed everybody what kind of attributes I could bring to a team.” *** Running back Derrick Locke and wide receiver Randall Cobb limited their workouts at pro day. Both declined to participate in any of the traditional drills after working out at the NFL combine in Indianapolis late in February. Locke ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at the combine, while Cobb turned in a 4.46. Locke said he wasn’t overly excited about his performance in Indianapolis, but was satisfied with it. Cobb and Locke are considered to be UK’s top prospects in the draft. They did go through positional drills – with one major surprise. Cobb, who played mostly receiver in college, was also asked to go through running back drills. Locke said he turned in a surprising performance considering that he hadn’t prepared to work out as a running back. Both players ran routes and demonstrated pass catching skills, working out
alongside quarterback Mike Hartline. “I think (today) was a little more important for coaches to get a better look at you,” Cobb said. “There are so many guys at the combine, they’re trying to see everybody. Here, it helps them to get a better look of some of the things they might be looking for.” *** Mike Hartline’s older brother Brian, a receiver for the Miami Dolphins, was on hand for his brother’s pro day. Hartline addressed the media after his workout, the first time he spoke publicly after being arrested in December and suspended for UK’s bowl game. He said that while it would be a dream to end up playing with his brother, he’ll be happy no matter where he ends up Wide receiver Chris Matthews said he ran the 40yard dash in the 4.5 range. He tweeted from his account @Caliboi_8 later in the day that he was scheduled for an individual workout with the New England Patriots this weekend. Some notable members of the UK junior class didn’t work out, according to UK head coach Joker Phillips. Linebacker Danny Trevathan didn’t participate in drills, and safety Winston Guy tweaked his hamstring while running the 40-yard dash. The NFL draft will be held April 28-30 in New York.

Christian bands to rock out Rupp Arena Winter Jam 2011 brings more artists than ever before By Amanda Powell features@kykernel.com
The Winter Jam Christian rock concert is coming to Rupp Arena on Saturday, March 12. The website promises more artists and more music than any other Winter Jam in history. “This concert is unique because there are no tickets required. It’s an opportunity to hear a message and make a decision for Christ, Shannon Habas, media relations director at Premiere Productions said. “And if someone can’t afford to come, we don’t turn them away.” Tickets are $10 at the door. “The whole goal for this event is to keep the cost of admission as low as possible,” Habas said. “There’s not any other place where you
can get 10 bands for $10 for four hours of Billy Graham meets rock show.”
If you go What: Winter Jam When: Saturday at 6 p.m. Where: Rupp Arena Admission: $10 at the door, $50 for a pass Attendees may also purchase a VIP Platinum Membership. The membership includes access to the Platinum Entrance without lines, exclusive access to any seat, one collectible Winter Jam VIP Platinum 3D pass and one official Winter Jam tour t-shirt. The cost for the pass is $50 and can be purchased on Winter Jam’s website. The $10 seats are on a first come, first serve basis.
This unique blend of Christian bands includes Newsboys, the David Crowder Band, Kutless, Francesca Battistelli, NewSong, KJ-52, Red and Tony Nolan as the guest speaker. “My favorite is Francesca Battistelli. I saw her two years ago and she has an amazing voice,” Teresa Maynard, finance sophomore said. Maynard has been to Winter Jam twice, both times at Rupp Arena. She decided to attend because it was inexpensive and she knew many of the bands performing. “Throughout the performances they speak and pray for people. It’s not just a concert. There’s also a minister there and a bunch of stuff you can support like sponsoring a child,” Maynard said. Because of the numerous artists and speakers at Winter Jam, each band only plays one or two songs. “When I saw Skillet (a Christian rock band) I wanted them to go on longer, but sometimes it’s new bands and
MathGames plays a new type of jazz Band to play at Cosmic Charlie’s By Mary Duffy features@kykernel.com
MathGames, a modern jazz electronica group, will be perform Friday at Cosmic Charlie's at 11:30 p.m. MathGames features Fareed Haque, one of the world's premier all-around guitarists. Haque was named Best World Guitarist by Guitar Player Magazine in 2009 and was recently No. 1 on Jazz Week World Charts. MathGames is Haques’ chance to showcase his work on the Moog guitar. The Moog guitar has a powerful blend of melody, free jazz, electronica, trance and groove. “The Moog Guitar provides an intimate playing experience that connects musicians directly to the source of the sound — the strings of the guitar,” Mike Adams, president of Moog Music Inc., said on the company's web site. “The potential of this instrument is vast, and as I began to dig into it, I began to hear new music that simply would not be possible on a standard guitar,” Haque said in a news release . “This show would likely appeal to jazz students as well as those interested in the techno/electronica scene,” Dave Mansfield of Simon Says Publicity said. “Moog guitar enthusiasts will not want to miss this show either, as the new and innova-
tive instrument will be Fareed's ax of choice for the show,” Mansfield said. “This show will be a multi-sensory performance as the band incorporates screen and light effects to give the listener more in depth experience of this exploratory music,” Mansfield said. MathGames will be performing as a trio, as Flat Earth Ensemble members Alex Austin and Greg Fundis bring their talent to the mix.
If you go What: MathGames When: Friday at 11:30 p.m. Where: Cosmic Charlie’s Admission: $8 and for audiences 21 and over According to the band’s website, Combining the phenomenal skills of guitar master Fareed Haque with the wildly entertaining drumming of Greg Fundis, and the solid and sweet foundation supplied by Alex Austin, you get a MathGames equation that will perplex but eventually satisfy your thirst for knowledge. The band’s name comes from Haque's idea to use mathematics when writing compositions: particular pitch intervals and melodic motifs that evoke geometric patterns. It made its debut at Chicago's Mayne Stage theater in Nov. 2010. The performance is $8 and for audiences 21 and over.
it’s enough to show me who they are so I can look them up later,” Maynard said. During the 2010 tour, Winter Jam packed an arena of 22,000 people. “We had to turn about 1,000 people away, setting a record for the largest Chris-
tian rock concert ever,” Habas said. The concerts have been growing every year. In 2009 the Winter Jam at Rupp sold 12,396 tickets, 14,756 tickets in 2010, selling out the arena. Habas said they are expecting to sell out again this
year and anyone wishing to attend should come early to get in line. Winter Jam is the largest annual Christian concert. “We like to refer to it as more than a concert, it’s more like an experience,” Habas said.
