Lex job climate strong By Fink Densford news@kykernel.com
A recent report ranked Lexington’s job market as the strongest in the nation for this quarter. The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey showed that 28 percent of the local companies they surveyed plan to hire this quarter, and only 4 percent have planned layoffs. The report said that employers were significantly more confident about hiring this quarter than the past quarter, changing from a 4 percent net gain in jobs to 24 percent. For UK, this means more jobs and opportunities for employers and those seeking jobs. “We have certainly seen a major uptake in our jobs posted and jobs filled,” Sarah Bowes, assistant employment manager at UK, said. UK is the largest employer in Fayette County, with more than 10,000 employees, according to the Lexington Chamber of Commerce. Bowes said that the increase in new prospective employees was also giving hiring managers the ability to select

11 students chosen for Gaines By Brooke McCloud news@kykernel.com
Eleven students were accepted to the Gaines Fellowship Program last Thursday, joining a nearly 25-year-old tradition at UK. With academic excellence and a passion for the community, the students will venture on a two-year fellowship dedicated to the humanities. “The environment is a real laboratory for learning in the humanities,” Lisa Broome-Price, acting director of the Gaines Center for the Humanities, said. “They are always learning something new and challenging themselves to develop new or bigger skills.” Funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Gaines Center also hosts events like lectures and concerts. Between 35 and 36 students apply each spring, but Broome-Price encourages more students to apply in the future. Students are eligible to apply if they have two years of school remaining. “The day I found out, it was raining really hard,” Mary Jennings, a biology and Spanish sophomore and new See GAINES on page 3

Big, bold billboards of aborted fetuses next to images of Jewish genocide and the lynching of AfricanAmericans were shown in the grassy area beside White Hall Classroom Building Wednesday for the fourth time on UK’s campus. The display signs are a part of the Genocide Awareness Project, or GAP, a demonstration being held through Thursday by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and the UK Students for Life group. “In this whole display, there are several important aspects,” Fletcher Armstrong, director of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, said. “We use pictures because unless people see pictures, they don’t have a sense of how bad it really is.” Fletcher said that CBR’s operating principle comes
from the King family. “Dr. Martin Luther King said ‘America will not reject racism until America sees racism,’” Armstrong said. “It was the pictures he showed of the dogs attacking protesters and police brutality that led to the end of racism.” Armstrong recited words of Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., saying, “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion.” Armstrong said the comparison to genocide was a topic often asked about. “It’s important to know that in every case of genocide in this display, legal personhood was redefined by those in power in terms that excluded the intended victims,” Armstrong said. Some students on campus were disturbed by GAP. Darren Brunkhart, a senior, was loudly protesting the See SIGNS on page 3

Winners will be drawn and announced after each race. “We like to give back to the community,” Balog said, “so giving away these scholarships is the way that we like to do that for students. We will continue to augment scholarships with other prizes, hopefully to draw students out there.” Qdoba and Coca-Cola will provide free snacks, live music will be provided by Elliot Collett and Tin Roof, and the first 1,000 students to register for a scholarship will receive a long-sleeved T-shirt courtesy of Kennedy’s Book Store. A number of other door prizes will be drawn from vendors like Vineyard Vines, Longchamp, Raising Cane’s and Orange Leaf, as well as many others. A full list is available on Keeneland’s website. “(It) is a day that we all look forward to because it is a good time to get together with your friends, enjoy one of Lexington's richest traditions, and have a break from class,” UK student Abby Theobald said.

JOBS Continued from page 1 even more qualified applicants. “It’s exciting because departments are getting the people they need,” Bowes said, “and we just haven’t seen it start to slow.” The employment office used the hiring downturn as an opportunity to develop a new hiring enhancement program — a set of tools designed to help hiring managers through the selection process, Bowes said. Bowes said the tools they developed then are now becoming even more helpful as hiring increases. “We’re at a point where both the applicants and employers are winning,” Bowes
said. Student hiring is up as well, Chuck Embs,UK Student Employment Program coordinator, said. The amount of new student jobs posted this March was more than double the amount, from 27 to 58, than from the year before, Embs said. More students are showing up to fill the jobs as well, Embs said. “Last year, in March, we had 187 students come in. This year, we had 224,” Embs said. Embs said that the student employment department was actively seeking out new opportunities and had developed a Facebook page to inform students when there are new job openings.
“When a new job goes up, it gets posted to fans of the Facebook page as well as the online employment center,” Embs said. Embs also speaks around campus to UK 101 students and prospective students during the summer to help inform them about employment opportunities around campus. Bowes said that the hiring outlook for UK looks bright, with a new pavilion opening in mid-May at the hospital and two new floors that will need staffing. Fayette County also holds the lowest unemployment rate in the state at 8.6 percent, while the state rate is 12 percent, according to a report from the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training.

Skepticism on global warming A team of physicists and statisticians that set out to challenge the scientific consensus on global warming is finding that its data-crunching effort is producing results nearly identical to those underlying the prevailing view. The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project at the University of California, Berkeley, was launched by physics professor Richard Muller, a longtime critic of government-led climate studies, to address what he called “the legitimate concerns” of skeptics who believe global warming is exaggerated. But Muller unexpectedly told a congressional hearing last week that the work of the three principal groups that have analyzed the temperature trends underlying climate science is “excellent. ... We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups.” Muller said his group was surprised by its findings, but he cautioned that the initial assessment is based on only 2 percent of the 1.6 billion measurements that will eventually be examined. The Berkeley project’s biggest private backer, at $150,000, is the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation. Oil billionaires Charles and David Koch are the nation’s most prominent funders of efforts to prevent curbs on the burning of fossil fuels, the largest contributor to planet-warming greenhouse gases. Ken Caldeira, an atmospheric scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science, which contributed some funding to the Berkeley effort, said Muller’s statement to Congress was “honorable” in recognizing that “previous

temperature reconstructions basically got it right. ... Willingness to revise views in the face of empirical data is the hallmark of the good scientific process.” But conservative critics who had expected Muller’s group to demonstrate a bias among climate scientists reacted with disappointment. Anthony Watts, a former TV weatherman who runs the skeptic blog WattsUpWithThat.com, wrote that the Berkeley group is releasing results that are not “fully working and debugged yet. ... But, post normal science political theater is like that.” Leading climatologists said the previous studies accounted for the effect, and the Berkeley analysis is confirming that, Muller acknowledged. “Did such poor station quality exaggerate the estimates of global warming?” he asked in his written testimony. “We’ve studied this issue, and our preliminary answer is no.” Temperature data are gathered from tens of thousands of weather stations around the globe, many of which have incomplete records. “For those who wish to discredit the science, this (temperature) record is the holy grail,” said Peter Thorne, a leading expert at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. “They figure if they can discredit this, then society would have significant doubts about all of climate science.”

Students of every background and age are encouraged to apply as long as they have a drive for academic achievement and an interest in the humanities, Broome-Price said. “Since I enrolled at UK, I have been working to find challenges that were outside of the normal undergraduate experience,” Catherine Brereton, an English and gender women’s studies major and new fellow, said. “I wanted to find a way to give back to the community.” Students apply during the spring of their sophomore years. The students are given all of winter break to work on their applications. This year, the deadline was January 14, and the selected students were notified March 1.
During junior year of the fellowship, students take eight credits of intensive humanities study and complete a community engagement project. During senior year of the fellowship, they complete a thesis that is at least 50 pages long. All of the past theses from the last two decades are proudly displayed in the Gaines Center office on East Maxwell Street. At the end of their senior years, fellows take a trip to New York City to visit art museums. “I am excited about everything,” Brereton said. “I am excited to be a part of a discussion with so many clever people contributing.” The creative minds behind Lexington’s Stella’s Kentucky Deli and Holly Hill Inn were both Gaines Fellows. Many alumni have been selected into prestigious graduate and professional programs, like Harvard University’s School of Design, Mayo Medical School, Yale University and others. “I am really honored to be a part of the program,” Jennings said, “and I hope I can add to this UK tradition.”

The UK chapter of Voices for Planned Parenthood was also on-site to oppose GAP. “We’re out here in response to them,” Planned Parenthood President Elizabeth Licis said. “We have been waiting for this (display) to come because we feel people are seeing this and they have no support. We’re here as support; to show what we believe and what Planned Parenthood has to offer.” Licis said she is “pro-choice” because illegalizing abortion could have negative consequences. “I’m not completely pro-abortion,” Licis said. “When you are pro-choice you are for the choice to be sexually active, the choice to use contraception and the choice to have an abortion if put in that position. One of our biggest concerns is that there were so many (illegal abortions) done in the past, and (women) shouldn’t have to risk their lives.” Demonstrations from both sides of the issue, anti-abortion and abortion rights, continue Thursday outside White Hall. One week from now, Students for Life will have another display of crosses to represent the number of abortions done on average each day.
There are currently about 100 people who said they are attending on the Pedalpalooza Facebook page. “Bikes are a fun, healthy, inexpensive way to get around,” history senior Sam Burchett said. “Gas prices aren't going anywhere but up. Riding a bike just makes sense.”

Offensive line keys continuity this spring By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
When the UK football team came together to begin spring practice one year ago, they wondered how well their offensive line would perform with four new starters being inserted into the lineup. That line ended up excelling, helping to make the Cats’ offense one of the top offenses in the Southeastern Conference. In 2011, the offensive line now returns four starters: left tackle Chandler Burden, left guard Stuart Hines, center Matt Smith and right guard Larry Warford. The team’s fifth starter is right tackle Billy Joe Murphy, who was not a starter to begin the 2010 season but has started nine games in his career at UK. With virtually the entire offensive line returning, second-year offensive line coach Mike Summers will now have to turn his attention from rebuilding and reloading to continuity and consistency. “They understand me better,” Summers said. “They understand what I’m asking from them. They understand how to prepare for practice and how to go out and play. Having guys that have been on the field for as many plays as these guys were last year provides an air of confidence that we didn’t have last year, so all of those things are good.” Leading the line will be the guards. Hines, a senior will be the starter at left guard for the third year in a row in 2011, and Warford, a junior, will start for the second straight year at right guard. Both players were all-SEC performers a season ago, with Warford earning second-team all-SEC honors and Hines earning a spot on the thirdteam all-SEC list. Both players have taken it

Harrellson withdraws from NBA camp due to illness By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Josh Harrellson withdrew from the Portsmouth Invitational after the UK medical staff recommended he not have any physical activity for a week due to flu-like symptoms. The Portsmouth Invitational is a camp for college seniors in preparation for the NBA Draft. It runs April 6-9. Harrellson talked about the camp being a great opportunity as he looks to make it at the next level, saying that it was a testament to his hard work and improvement through the course of the year. “I’m extremely disappointed that I won’t be able to participate in the Portsmouth Invitational,” Harrellson said in a release. “I was really looking forward to showcasing my abilities among the top seniors in the nation. My focus now is on getting well and concentrating on my schoolwork before working out for teams.” Harrellson averaged 7.6 points and 8.7 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game after logging just 88 minutes total as a junior. He continued his solid play in UK's postseason run, averaging 12.0 points and 8.1 rebounds in five games. “It’s unfortunate that Josh will not be able to participate in this year’s Portsmouth event,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “I know he was really honored to be selected and was looking forward to the opportunity. We’ll do everything we can to help him prepare once he’s cleared to return.”
Other players who will be attending include Ohio State's Dallas Lauderdale, Mississippi's Chris Warren, Michigan State's Durrell Summers, Florida's Alex Tyus and Vernon Macklin, Penn State's Talor Battle, Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn and West Virginia's Casey Mitchell.

Beaux Arts Ball lets run it y

Costumes have always been an influential part of the Beaux Arts Ball. For 42 years, people have dressed up and celebrated together. “There have been so many great costumes,” Bethany Long, architecture senior, said. “There was a guy with a shower curtain. It was kind of creepy, but it was really interesting. For girls there are always really cute peacocks. The artsier, the better. Last year there was a girl I met outside the bathroom dressed as a bruise.” The annual Beaux Arts Ball is studentrun event planned by the College of Design with proceeds benefitting charity. This year’s ball will take place on April 9 in the Pepper Warehouse. This will be architecture freshman Will Baldwin’s first time at the ball. Baldwin went to the Beaux Arts Fall Ball, and after seeing the line-up of the Beaux Arts Ball, he knew he had to attend. “I want to see some crazy stuff,” Baldwin said. “I want to see anything but clothes. I want people to do something eccentric and crazy that makes a bold statement, and I want people to have lots and lots of fun.” Costumes contribute to the ball’s atmosphere. “It’s important to be totally different than you usually are since it’s a totally different event than anything else offered,” Long said. “I’m dressing up as a Dragon. I’m going to have scales and a smoky gray tutu with crazy eye makeup and I’ll paint on wings.” “My friends and I were joking around, and someone said I should dress up as a baby,” Baldwin said of his costume idea. “We must have been talking about ‘Rugrats.’ I’m going to wear a diaper, carry a bottle and wear a bib and a bonnet. This is a very unique and fashion forward event. It gives people the opportunity to wear crazy things and a way for people to get out. It’s almost like a formal costume contest.” Second year architecture students Hannah Gompers and Drew Webb shared their insights on what they expect as first time attendees of the Ball. “People are naked,” Webb said. “People are contstantly naked,” Gompers added. “People go without a specific character in mind. They’ll wear clothes with ridiculous makeup and things glued to them. There was a girl dressed as a salad with pieces of lettuce all over her. Last year, there was someone dressed as grapes with purple balloons all over them and a girl with googly eyes all over her black leotard. She added caution tape to her hair.” “One girl had on skin-tight pants with just tape on her nipples,” Webb said. “Literally think of everything you can, and narrow it down to something you’ve never seen before. Like the girl with the googly eyes. She let the eyes decide for her.” “I’m going as the striped zebra on the gum packages — the one that comes with the tattoos,” Gompers said. Webb is still trying to decide on his costume. “I have some black sequined tights that will be employed,” he said. “I’ve talked to other people, and since it’s the first year there’s an overall theme, (universe) people are doing things to do with stars,” Long said. “People are going to have a lot more made versus bought costumes.” That’s one of the only “don’ts” when it comes to a Beaux Arts Ball costume: Don’t buy one. Make one. “I’d definitely make one,” Long said. “But it all depends on how comfortable you feel with yourself. When you buy one you’ll feel like you have too much on. Less is more, or rather less is better.“ Long and some of her fellow architecture students helped sell tickets to the Beaux Arts Ball this year. “This is going to be the best year,” Long said. “Especially with the theme. We’re selling out of tickets faster than before.” When it comes to “do’s” for the Beaux Arts Ball, do whatever comes to mind and express yourself. At Beaux Arts Ball, “anything goes,” Gompers said. “Don’t not wear a costume,” Webb said. “And don’t go as yourself,” Gompers said.

Taking a stand against sexual harassment On a warm, cloudy evening this week, I was making my way to North Campus from Coffea after it closed at midnight. Avenue of Champions is a broad, well-lit ALLIE street freHUDDLESTON quented by Contributing police, and since this columnist was a normal walk for me, not a hint of danger crossed my mind — until I heard the mating call of a young man. In a show of obvious intelligence, this man decided to hang out of a car window and yell “Hey sexy!” at me as I ambulated down the sidewalk. That, dear readers, is when I felt threatened. Why, you might ask? Well, there is all 5-foot-4-inch, 120 pound of me on foot and at least 200 pounds of another person in a huge vehicle. Who wouldn’t feel unsettled by such a show of physical power? Sexual harassment is an issue rarely discussed on this campus, yet it occurs more than frequently. As women, we are taught to ignore such comments and “move on,” but I don’t see
how this helps anything at all. Women keep ignoring these pointless advances, but (mostly) men keep making them. Frankly, I’m sick of taking it. Sexual harassment can be as subtle as a whistle or as obvious as catcalls or groping (which is actually assault). It can come from strangers or acquaintances, men or women. No matter what form, harassment is still demeaning and unjust. What do these harassers want? Do they think I’ll want to go home with them because they hollered at me? Do they want me to thank them for a compliment? No. The purpose of sexual harassment is to demonstrate an outdated power dynamic between the harasser and the victim, with the victim in the more vulnerable position. Not only is it rather embarrassing to be harassed, but also harassment benefits no one and nothing tangible is gained by either person. Sexual harassment has nothing to do with “boys being boys,” or what one, is wearing, how drunk a person is or if someone is walking alone. None of these elements have anything to do with the overwhelming urge that befalls complete strangers to objectify me without hesita-
tion. Truly, nothing dampens my day more than knowing that patriarchy is alive and well after a man decides to remind me of my womanly figure in public. Sexual harassment is illegal and no one deserves to be harassed for any reason. I have found that the best way to control sexual harassment is to stand up to harassers rather than silently brush off the situation. You can remind them politely that it is not their place to comment on such things in public and that they are breaking the law. If there are plenty of witnesses around the shock is multiplied, for the harasser gets to feel just as embarrassed as the victim. Simply be blunt, be polite and take a stand against a crime and a power dynamic that has been dismissed for too long. Of course, if the harasser is on the go, like the gentleman I recently encountered, the one finger salute is always a great response. One gesture can say it all: I do not enjoy being rudely yelled at for no reason other than my perceived gender, and I am not going to take it politely.

Attend talk to discuss civic education issues I just woke up from this bizarre dream about Kentucky Senate President David Williams. I was moderating a Citizen Kentucky public forum on how to fix Medicaid with BUCK Williams, RYAN Gov. Steve Contributing Beshear, columnist House Speaker Greg Stumbo and representatives of various stakeholders. Williams turned to an old Woody Allen skit from “The Ed Sullivan Show” to explain what happened in the special session: “I was confronted on the schoolyard by two bullies,” Williams said. “So the first thing I did was punch Greg right in the fist with my eye. “Then I whacked Steve hard in the knee with my groin.” The crowd went wild with laughter, and then the most amazing thing happened: We engaged in public deliberation toward meaningful problem solving through civil discourse. How bizarre is that! If you have any hope of turning such a dream into reality, then please join us this afternoon (Thursday, April 7)
in the Niles Gallery of the Lucille Little Fine Arts Library to celebrate legislative success on civic education, to enjoy a conversation with the chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities on his national “civil discourse tour” and to help kids refine their Henry Clay-Sandra Day O’Connor Civic Education Act for Kentucky. A Citizen Kentucky forum begins at 3 p.m., an hour-long videotaped conversation with NEH Chairman Jim Leach begins at 3:45 p.m., and by 5 p.m. the free food will be gone. It will all happen in the Niles Gallery. The Citizen Kentucky public forum will celebrate two victories for civic education in the last legislative session by a new citizens group, Kentucky Advocates for Civic Education, or KACE. Then the forum will engage citizens in how to improve civic education for middle school, high school and college students. The governor signed two bills, one on changes in the penal code that included civic education to help reform convicts and a second that requires 12th graders to learn the voting process: how to get registered, how a voting booth works and how to apply for an absentee ballot. The bills were championed by a KACE board member, State Rep. Adam Koenig (R-Erlanger), who
credits high school kids for coming up with the legislative ideas. A live webcast of Leach’s conversation will mostly involve kids, spanning an 8th grade class at Christ the King Catholic School, to Tates Creek High School, to UK freshmen, seeking advice on how to refine their Clay O’Connor bill to teach the fine art of effective civil discourse. As part of a KACE “super”, Project Citizen, the kids drafted the bill, then went to Frankfort in March to lobby for it. They picked up bipartisan support from State Sen. Alice Forgy Kerr, a Republican, and State Sen. Kathy Stein, a Democrat, both from Lexington. Imagine Stein, the only Jewish lawmaker in Frankfort, engaging Muslim students at Tates Creek and Catholic kids at Christ the King about their bill, then turning to Kerr, a Baptist, and saying, “Let’s introduce this bill together today!” That exchange in civil discourse actually happened. As for a state Medicaid fix, remember Walt Disney once observed, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Buck Ryan is an associate journalism professor at UK and the director of the Citizen Kentucky Project of UK’s Scripps Howard First Amendment Center.

Woodson to finish what he started By Ally Rogers sports@kykernel.com
When thinking about UK’s football program over the past decade, it is difficult to ignore the golden child Andre Woodson. Well, he’s back. After a three-year Andre hiatus, the former Cats Woodson hurler has returned to finish what he started. “I have come back to finish my bachelor’s degree for communication of agriculture,” Woodson, 26, said. “It feels weird at times being back on campus and having to walk to class, but on the other hand, I get to finish my degree and graduate, so it’s well worth it.” UK recruited Woodson in 2003. During his freshman season, he served as a backup to Shane Boyd. In 2005, Woodson was named the starting quarterback. That season, the Cats were 3-8, with Woodson completing nearly 58 percent of his passes and throwing for 1,644 yards. The following year, Woodson had a breakout season — he led the Cats to a 7-5 regular season record and their first bowl win in 22 years. That season, he led the Southeastern Conference in passing yards with 3,515 and became only the second UK quarterback to throw 30 or more touchdowns in a single season. “He was a great quarterback,” Cassie Fallon, a Wildcat fan and former UK psychology student, said. “He led us to a lot of success.” In his final season at UK, Woodson left his mark. On Sept. 22, 2007, he broke Trent

The Jazz Ensemble normally does events like this once a year, Rice said. “I think it’s fun to play not just a concert where people are sitting and listening. It’s fun to play and watch people dance,” Rice said.
Richardson and Dieter Rice, a graduate student in the Jazz Ensemble, said there is something for everyone. “It’s a great opportunity to come out and hear some of the great music of the big band swing era performed by very, very talented musicians,” Richardson said, “and you’ll see some really good dancing.”
