A COLORFUL MESS
Sign with racial slur found at UK By Becca Clemons bclemons@kykernel.com
A sign featuring a racially offensive slur was posted Thursday on the outside of the UK College of Law Building. A similar sign was posted March 15 on the South Limestone-facing side of the building, using the N-word in conjunction with President Barack Obama. UK spokeswoman Kathy Johnson said the second sign seemed to say the same thing as the first. The sign, which spelled out the racial slur, read, “How do you spell N***** — OBAMA.” UK spokesman Jay Blanton said the sign was taken down immediately after it was found. He said many of the particulars were unclear, but a student who saw the sign reported it to a professor. Third-year law student Ches Clark posted a photo of the sign on his Facebook, with a caption saying he took the sign down and brought it to his class on Race, Racism and Criminal Law. The UK Police Department is investigating the signs. Blanton said it is not yet known if someone on campus posted the sign, but UKPD is investigating because the incident occurred on UK grounds. Blanton said whoever posted the sign could be charged with third-degree criminal mischief.
Workshop helps during crunch time By Gary Hermann news@kykernel.com
For many UK seniors, the time to leave academia behind and enter the workforce is drawing near. The James W. Stuckert Career Center and Alumni Career Services will host the Last Minute Job Search at the King Alumni House on April 5 from 10:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The cost of the event is $5, and participants get a free leather portfolio and business card holder. Dress is casual and lunch will be provided. The events include two rounds of breakout sessions. The sessions will cover resume and cover letter writing, interviewing and self marketing, said Alumni Program Coordinator Leslie Hayes. “All three of these skills are very important,” Hayes said. “The most important would be the re- What: Last Minute Job Search sume and When: April 5, from 10:45 a.m. cover letter to 2:30 p.m. writing because that’s Where: King Alumni House what gets Admission: $5 for everyone, (applicants) registration required in the door.” Chemistry senior Nazeeha Jawahir sees the value in UK offering a program like this. “I think we’ve all been introduced to these skills at some point, but we may not know what’s best,” Jawihir said. All participants will attend a program on how to use the networking site LinkedIn to advance their careers, according to a press release. The Career Center drop-in hours will be available immediately following this event for resume critiques and questions regarding job searches, according to the Alumni Association website. According to a press release, employer representatives will offer advice on searching for a job during lunch. “I think a lot of people my age aren’t really sure what they want to do,” Jawihir said. “Any exposure to possible careers and options is great.” For any seniors on the fence about going, Hayes stressed the importance of attending the Last Minute Job Search. “Maybe their future depends on it,” Hayes said. “They should get all the help they can while they are here at UK, and there are people here to help them.” Students interested in attending the Last Minute Job Search program must register online at http://www.ukalumni.net/LMJS or by calling 859-257-8905.

Grounds crew workers clean graffiti bashing the Ohio State University Buckeyes from the sidewalk outside White Hall Classroom Building Thursday.
Spells like team spirit Graffiti appears outside White Hall before UK-Ohio State game By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
As students walked to class in White Hall Classroom Building Thursday, they may have noticed some illegal ways of cheering on the men’s basketball team in its game against the Ohio State Buckeyes this Friday. Graffiti encouraging the Wildcats to beat the Buckeyes appeared in front of an entrance to White Hall this morning, some of it containing curse words. UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said the incident occurred between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., but there are no current suspects. “One of our security officers was making rounds, and he noticed it at 4 a.m. and called it in,” Monroe said. “We notified the Physical Plant Division so they could start trying to get it cleaned up.” Bob Wiseman, vice president of facilities, was displeased with the act, but had crews on site to clean up the paint by Thursday afternoon. “Nothing is threatening in (the graffiti),” Monroe said. “It’s concerning on that it may be leading up to more activity should we beat Ohio State. It’s
given us a heads up for what to expect this weekend. “It was in three different colors ... so there was probably more than one person that did it.” Wiseman said the crews planned to have the graffiti gone by Thursday night. “You have to use some chemicals and some spraying of it, in terms of power washing,” Wiseman said. “I OK’d overtime (Thursday) to do it; I want to get it up quickly and be done with it.” Wiseman said he hopes the people are caught and he will seek damages for the cleanup efforts from the culprits. Monroe said the UKPD has a plan ready if the men’s basketball team reaches the Final Four, which has been “groomed” since the last championship in 1998. “(The plan) involves multiagencies; it involves us and the city,” Monroe said. “The fire department has a role in it; the sheriff’s department plays a small part; corrections plays a small part in it. We bring everyone to the table. “Here we are again, to the point where we could very well end up in that Final Four situation.” Monroe does not want to dis-

Phrases were painted on sidewalks at both ends of White Hall, some including profanity. courage celebrating if the Wildcats advance, but he said those celebrating should be responsible for themselves and their actions. “We don’t want to have a big riot type of situation,” Monroe said. “We encourage celebrations, but they need to be responsible. “We don’t like to make arrests ... but if we have to, we will.” Even local bars and places that sell alcohol work with UKPD to help keep the public safe during big NCAA Tournament games involving UK. “We also work with the local
New Tolly Ho location will include more seating
alcohol establishments with their sales,” Monroe said. “A lot of times what we’ll do is we’ll tell them they can’t use (glass) bottles; we’ll make them use either plastic bottles or cups. They work with us on that. “ Monroe’s goal is to keep students safe after a loss or a win by the basketball team, but wants students to have fun as well. “The suggestion I give everyone is: have fun, be responsible, but let’s not tear anything up. We don’t want any property damage or anyone hurt, but we want people to have fun.”
Noted women talk youth activism

One of the well-known food establishments near the UK campus is about to move, but not too far from its current location. Tolly Ho, a long time favorite of UK students, will be moving to a new location on South Broadway near the end of April. Sandy Rose, an employee at Tolly Ho, said the move to the new location was because the current location was becoming too small for the crowds the restaurant was getting. “We’ve just totally outgrown (the current location),” Rose said, implying that large crowds pack Tolly Ho on weekends. “That way we can accommodate more people.” For the look of the new shop, the contractor drew heavily from the look of the current location, basically flipping the store side-to-side.
Ericka Huggins, professor of women’s studies at California State University, and Asha Jennings, a prominent Atlanta attorney, paid a visit to UK’s campus Thursday to contribute to a dialogue on activism and the role of young people. The dialogue was a part of the 17th annual Black Women’s Conference, sponsored by the UK African American Studies and Research Program, entitled “We Have Not Arrived: Activism in the 21st Century.” Huggins, who is

Popular restaurant Tolly Ho is moving to South Broadway. The current building will be reopened as a convenience store. “We plan on keeping our unique atmosphere, the ‘funk’ that we’ve always had,” Rose said. “We plan for everything to be the same — only bigger.” Rose felt a plus for the new location is parking, which the current location See MOVE on page 2 Classifieds.............3 Features.................4 Horoscope.............2

best known as a member of the former Black Panther Party for SelfDefense, which she entered at college age, expressed her biggest concerns for America today to be education and the youth. “I’m not talking about education in the classroom,” Huggins said. “When considering every aspect of our lives, are we educated about it? … No. I’m most concerned about young people today.” When it comes to activism in America today, Huggins says apathy has set in. “I think two whole generations of people See WOMEN on page 2

MOVE Continued from page 1 does not have. The new location will start with 30 parking spots, which will eventually be expanded. The new location on South Broadway will have room for about 50 more seats, bringing the total seating to 178 seats, Rose said. Included at the new location will be a Texas Hold ‘em room, for games played on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the current location. Other additions will include a bakery in the back, to make fresh buns and other breads for the shop, as well as sweets like sticky buns. The owner is also looking into a curb side service for customers on the go.
WOMEN Continued from page 1 don’t know anything about this history,” Huggins said. “What about teaching young p e o p l e what’s going on?” H u g Huggins gins, who was the keynote speaker for the Black Women’s Conference, says she believes we live in a country with very systemic illnesses, and that when it comes to class, gender, sexual orientation and citizenship status, we are not healthy. “I think that women of color tend to be at the bottom rung of the hierarchical ‘minority’ ladder,” Huggins said. “If women of color speak up,
“The owner believes in the best quality in a product,” Rose said. “He has never been happy with our breads and buns — they are good quality, but not the best — therefore, we will be baking our own.” Rose, who has worked at Tolly Ho for the past 22 years, feels the students living in the area, like at The Lex, 524 Angliana, Newtown and other areas, will be able to benefit from the new location. Yet because it is only a few extra minutes from campus, other students should continue to come. “I don’t think (relocation will affect business from students),” Rose said. “It’s only a three minute walk from our current location,” Rose said. Natalie Pitman, an English sophomore, enjoys Tolly Ho, but said relocation may have an effect on her visits to
then all the other systemic illnesses will have to change.” Jennings, best known nationally for her activism on the campus of Spelman College in 2005 involving the rapper Nelly, said her participation in the conference was about motivating college students who have always been the backbone of the Civil Rights Movement. “It’s important whether it’s UK or any other college campus,” Jennings said, “but sometimes in large schools where the minority population is so small, that minority can feel powerless, and I want to encourage them that change can happen.” In 2005, Jennings demanded that Nelly support the students’ initiative in standing up against negative images of black women. He had planned a bone marrow drive on Spelman’s campus for his sister. Jennings was
the restaurant. “I went a lot last semester,” Pitman said. “It’s great late at night when nothing else is open and you can just walk back home after. I can go somewhere else (once they move).” When Tolly Ho moves to its new location, Rose said the current one may be closed for a few days. Because the current owner of Tolly Ho still has the current location leased for five more years, he decided to turn it into a convenience store. The store will carry student essentials as well as a cold deli and ice cream bar. “We want people to give us ideas and suggestions of things that are going to be needed in our store,” Rose said, “because we to have anything and everything that the students might need.”
offended by the portrayal of women in his music video “Tip Drill.” Jennings said radio and TV raises children today, and she feels it is important for artists to represent a positive educational message, socially. “Something the media will never write about is that we gave Nelly an option,” Jennings said. “We told him, ‘We care about your sister, we want you to care about ours … the way you’re raising our children is counterproductive.’ He chose to withdraw his money and the drive from our campus.” Jennings said she was humbled to be on the program with Huggins and to carry on the legacy of her and other legendary activists. “It feels good for me to let them know that their fight wasn’t in vain,” Jennings said.

‘The King’s Speech’ to be re-released By Steven Zeitchik MCT
Colin Firth said he didn't like it, but a new version of “The King's Speech” is heading to theaters just the same. The Weinstein Co. said Thursday morning that it was releasing a tweaked version of the best-picture winner in which a scene featuring Firth’s Duke of York swearing has been amended not to include the F-word next weekend, April 1. The company gave the new theater count as 1,000, which would put it roughly at the current tally of 1,249. The studio also said that the Rrated movie won't be shown as of next weekend.
Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (M arch 21-April19)— Today is a 6 — Even when you're prepared, tides can surge unexpectedly. Believe in love, even in the darkest moments. Believe in yourself, despite any doubts. Taurus (April20-M ay 20)— Today is a 7 — Release your artistic talents to grow your health and well-being. Gem ini(M ay 21-June 21)— Today is a 6 — Your shrewd wit could inspire laughter. Or you could just complain and lose your audience. Consider the art of communication, with yourself as an artist. Cancer(June 22-July 22)— Today is a 7 — Your cleverness is paying off at work, as you contribute with competence and skill. Play with it. Defuse your cleverness by being willing to laugh at
So essentially Weinstein is subbing out the old print with the new one. The movie has actually been doing quite well even in its R-rated guise, grossing about $2 million last weekend. The new release is clearly aimed at the glut of spring-breakers available for moviegoing, though it remains to be seen whether adolescents who haven't already seen the period drama will now be flooding theater. The Weinstein Co. is promoting the new cut as a “family film” which means that, in the company's eyes, when it comes out next weekend the story of a 1930s monarch rising up against Nazism will be competing squarely against “Hop.”
yourself. Leo (July 23-Aug.22)— Today is an 8 — Cleverly addressing basic ideas can propel a young group to action. Use sense of humor, artistic talent and affection to keep them inspired. Share your wonderful stories. Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22)— Today is a 6 — Your common sense view of a past incident gets everyone laughing. Play the temperamental artist role, but remember that you're just playing. Libra (Sept.23-Oct.22)— Today is a 6 — Keep a sense of humor, especially in traffic. Stress has a direct cost to health. If you get annoyed or frustrated, look for the ridiculous, hilarious irony of the situation. Scorpio (Oct.23-Nov.21)— Today is an 8 — Your intelligence, talent and common sense leads to an increase in income, as long as you maintain your open attitude. Avoid arguments for
best health. Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec.21)— Today is an 8 — Your cleverness and practicality are obvious. Your sharp wit hides, couched in moodiness. Meditate on something beautiful for a lighter spirit. Capricorn (Dec.22-Jan.19)— Today is an 8 — Be willing to push your own artistic boundaries as they unfold. It's a good day to focus entirely on a project. Come up for air and conversation later. Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb.18)— Today is a 7 — Go out with friends and discover a new art gallery, a new restaurant, a new trail, a new movie. Feed your soul. Try something new. Play together around beauty. Pisces (Feb.19-M arch 20)— Today is a 9 — It's as if you're wearing rose-colored glasses, and life comes at you in full-color 3-D action. Go ahead, keep them on. Productivity soars at work. Don't take yourself too seriously. M CT
faculty member in the history department at UK and instructor for the course “The Black Panther Party and Beyond,” played a role in bringing Huggins to campus. Williams said he felt the Black Women’s Conference and the topic of activism was important because black women face a double negative in society today by being black and being a woman. “You need conferences like this one to recognize the accomplishments of women like (Huggins) who overcome these things daily,” Williams said.

Experiencing the life of a film student I never expected that on spring break I would find myself in the least likely of places: in a classroom at a university I didn’t even attend. While every other UK student SARA NELLE seemed to be sunMURPHY bathing on a Kernel beach and columnist indulging in the seemingly endless hours of fun and frivolity, I had instead decided on visiting my friend, Angela in Orlando, Fla., where she attends Full Sail University, one of the premier
art, music and film schools in the country. While I am currently a communications major still searching for a career path, Angela is in an accelerated two-year program that will teach her the skills to work in the competitive film industry. I was excited not only to see Angela but also to observe an alternative college experience for a week. Like the majority of students here at UK, this has been the only university I have attended. Here we have a wide range of degrees, with many classes that build a wellrounded foundation for various careers. While I am glad to be
here and to cultivate my talents into something that will hopefully result in a decent salary someday, I was curious to see what life was like on the “artsy” side. So what is it like to be an unofficial film student for a week? It’s all about the MacBook Pro. Those shiny computers are the life of the Full Sail student, and classes require fiddling around on programs like Adobe After Effects to create title sequences for short film sequences (but always with enough time to budget in some secretive Facebook chatting). Of course that’s not all there is to the life of a film student. They have opportuni-
ties to work out in the field and get their foot in the door of the industry. But it’s not always so glamorous; often times the students do the grunt work on set, carrying props and equipment back and forth and running errands. But just like anyone starting out in a career, you must be humble enough to earn the respect of your superiors, even if that means that your primary job is making emergency trips to Starbucks. I couldn’t help but compare and contrast the experience of a film student as opposed to a regular university kid like myself. Although it might seem like a dream to go to a film
school to make movies, the fact is that it’s one of the most difficult fields to make it in. It’s up to the individual to provide the sweat and tears that distinguish you apart from the rest. I appreciate that I’m receiving a well-rounded education here at UK because, like many students, I don’t exactly know what I will be doing my whole life. Whether you’re studying film or biology, we’re all seeking to gain the satisfaction that comes with doing something you love. And that’s my crazy spring break story for you.

Both sides have merits in PS3 hack debate ZACH WALTON Kernel columnist
There was a time when the PlayStation 3 had Linux support under the “Other OS” feature. Sony took that away and software programmers weren’t happy. These programmers turned into hackers and began to attempt to break the PS3’s security to allow installation of the “Other OS” feature once again. Many people gave up and called the PS3 unhackable. Then the unthinkable happened. Hackers cracked the PS3 and released the tools to hack it online. They were first for sale as USB dongles, and then a few ambitious hackers released the PS3’s root key online blowing the system’s security wide open. Now the hackers and Sony are in a bitter lawsuit pitting Sony’s right to protect their system and the consumer’s right to use the system they purchased as they wish. The main issue at the forefront of all of this is of course game piracy. With the PS3’s security exposed, people can trick the PS3 into thinking that an illegitimate copy of a game is legitimate. Sony claims that the
hackers intentionally blew open the system’s security with the express purpose of performing illegal acts such as piracy. Hackers claim that they are just opening the system to homebrew applications and being able to install other operating systems like Linux again. Now the community is divided over the issue. Some people see Sony in the right — as they are just protecting their system and the integrity of the console.
“Then the unthinkable happened. Hackers cracked the PS3.”
Some think Sony is just playing the role of the bully beating up the little man. Regardless of the stance, both sides admit that the release of the root key is leading to piracy. The difference is how much of an impact piracy is having on the PS3. The PlayStation Portable, while a great system, was blown open early in its lifecycle and suffers from heavy piracy. This hurts game sales and prevents developers from making games for the console. Sony and its supporters
don’t want to see this happen again with the PS3. Those who are in support of the hackers also claim to be against piracy. They point to figures that say piracy actually helps sales and increases exposure to the game. They can never really explain the rampant piracy on the PSP, but claim the same thing won’t happen on the PS3. Sony has fought back and fixed most of the security exploits. The damage has been fixed, but they are attempting to send a message with the lawsuit against the hackers. The message is that attempts to turn their controlled system into an open platform will be met with resistance. I’m all for open platforms, but I’m wary due to the existence of piracy. It hasn’t really hurt sales of Xbox 360 or Wii games when piracy is prevalent on both of those platforms. PC gaming still isn’t dead even though there is rampant piracy on that platform. I think the time will come when consoles are made open by their manufacturers to user-created content and homebrew applications. Homebrew brings the future of gaming and gamingbased applications with it. People just need to wait for that future instead of taking it into their own hands. Their motives may be honorable, but everybody isn’t that noble.
Disney princesses entertain imagination of audiences By Hope Smith features@kykernel.com
Instead of overly exaggerated blue hands, embarrassingly immaculate cowboy hats and incredibly expensive cutlery, Rupp Arena will instead be dotted with something much cuter — pintsized princesses.
If you go What: Disney On Ice When: March 24-27 Where: Rupp Arena Admission: Prices range from $15 to $50, and children 2 years old and younger are free Rupp Arena, home of UK basketball games, Rascal Flatts concerts and Kentucky Proud’s annual Incredible Food Show, will host a less ordinary event this weekend, Disney On Ice. This spectacle might be something students recall from childhood and has been on the road for years. Disney On Ice features talented skaters and whimsi-
cal set designs, all organized to bring the audience into a live scene from the imaginative world of Disney. This time, the theme is “princess wishes.” “This show is geared towards little girls,” Theresa Lloyd, Rupp Arena event manager, said. “They love to dress up in their princess gowns, and we love to see them.” The ice was created two weeks ago, Lloyd said, and has since been covered with a protective layer to protect the surface while the arena was used for other events, like last week’s high school basketball state championships. The ice has since been “fine-tuned to skating perfection,” Lloyd said. Princess Wishes, an adventure led by Tinker Bell, will follow all the old favorites — Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine, Cinderella, Belle and more — to catch a glimpse of what it’s like to be in their shoes (or slippers). “It’s all about the Disney characters coming to life, right out of the movies, as real individuals,” Lloyd said. “We know it’s not real, but
the children don’t, so it’s fun to play make believe with them.” In the past, Disney On Ice has brought to life the tales of childish Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, beloved toys Buzz and Woody and other childhood favorites. This might sound like a show that can only be fully enjoyed by children, but adults might find themselves enjoying the production, as well. “It’s a good, family-oriented show that would be great to take a little girl to, but usually the whole family enjoys it,” Lloyd said. “The skaters are not only fun to watch, but very talented, and the choreography is always great.” This year’s Disney On Ice show might be a more interactive option than taking your little sister or the children you babysit on the weekends to a movie. Prices range from $15 to $50, and children 2 years old and younger are free. The show will run from Thursday through Sunday and showtimes can be found on Rupp Arena’s website.

Cats cannot be counted out It’s a scene fit for a Hollywood film; the up-and-down, inexperienced basketball team peppered with new faces meets the latest version of the undisputed No. 1. I am no UK fan, by any means. But in the past couple of days, my feelings about the UK-Ohio State matchup have changed drastically. Maybe it’s my natural desire to want to see the upset, maybe it’s me being CHANDLER completely irrational, call it HOWARD what you wish. Last year’s star-studded Kernel UK team, the one everyone columnist fell in love with before the season even began, didn’t meet Big Blue Nation’s expectations of an NCAA championship. It was no surprise, perhaps even proper for it to happen that way. It’s appropriate then that this edition of the Cats, the group everyone has been on the fence about since day one, is the one that will make a run deep into March. Ohio State is good — and I mean damn good — but, at least at this point in the season,
UK isn’t far behind. Both teams score in the top 30 nationally, and other stats are relative. Freshmen Brandon Knight and Doron Lamb have emerged as leaders, and Terrence Jones, who hit the ground running early this season, has remained consistent. Josh Harrellson helped UK become the 29th-best rebounding team in the country at the end of the regular season, compared to the Buckeyes’ rank of 195th. UK isn’t a No. 16 seed that prayed its way into the tournament taking on an undefeated top seed. It has a genuine chance to take down OSU. It will obviously be a battle, but nothing is automatic. I picked this year’s UK team to be knocked out in the second round (which is what I will continue to call the round of 32 teams, NCAA). I can admit I was wrong, thinking this team would let its fans down like it had on occasion this season. UK has stepped up in the conference and NCAA tournaments, proving people (including myself) wrong over and over again. It will have the chance to do the same yet again. Let’s not count UK just yet. It isn’t called March Madness for nothing.
