Dunlap selection makes history
Campus farewell to Lee, Patsy Todd
By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
UK’s Victoria Dunlap was selected 11th overall in the WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics on Monday. Dunlap, who averaged 17 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, is the highest draft choice in school history and the first UK player drafted since Shantia Owens went 53rd in the 2000 WNBA Draft. “We are just so proud for Victoria,” UK Hoops coach Matthew Mitchell said in a news release. “She’s worked extremely hard, and to be a first-round draft choice is a testament to how hard she’s worked and improved during her time at Kentucky. We are proud of her. It’s also a special day for our program. To have the first, first-round draft in school history is special. It’s been an incredible day.” Dunlap finished her UK career No. 2 in both scoring and rebounding. John Wall tweeted minutes after the selection was announced on ESPN: “Yessir welcome my buddy @vickydeez34 (Dunlap’s Twitter handle) to Washington….We got a good one!” Former UK player and current Redskin Jeremy Jarmon also tweeted: “Welcome to DC @vickydeez34! BBN is expanding to all the sports markets in the area.” Washington won the 2010 Eastern Conference regular season title before falling in the conference semifinals. When asked what her plans were for the offseason, Dunlap said in an ESPN interview: “A lot of ballhandling, working on my outside game, and a lot of three-point shots to get more comfortable with

Dunlap was named the SEC Player of the Year by
The Associated Press and SEC Defensive Player of the Year by the league coaches. Dunlap finished one of the most illustrious UK careers in 2011, finishing No. 1 in games played (133) and No. 2 in scoring (1,846), rebounding (1,099), blocks (178), steals (307), free-
throws made (445), freethrows attempted (714) and double-doubles (31), according to UK Athletics. She was the first player in school history to chart more than 100 assists, 100 blocks and 300 steals in her career and just the second player with more than 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career.

Search committee narrows field, talks about compensation By Becca Clemons and Taylor Moak news@kykernel.com
The Presidential Search Committee and the Compensation Subcommittee of the Presidential Search Committee met Monday to discuss aspects of the search. Committee Chairman Jim Stuckert opened the meeting of the search committee at 8:30 a.m. and quickly read a motion to move the meeting into closed session. “The committee must go into closed session because open discussion of these candidates would violate their personal privacy rights,” Stuckert said, reading from a script.
The goal was to narrow down the search to one or a few candidates. Board of Trustees Chairman Britt Brockman said the list had been narrowed to a much smaller field, but he would not say how many finalists remain. He said the system of confidentiality has become the norm in searches of this kind. The Compensation Subcommittee met to discuss which factors should be included in the next president’s compensation package, including bonuses, contract renewals, benefits and other considerations. After reviewing recent articles from the Chronicle of Higher Educa-
tion about presidential compensation, the committee went into closed session. Brockman also spoke at the University Senate meeting Monday, updating faculty on the presidential search process and responding to questions. “It’s an exciting time, and it’s also a historic time,” Brockman said, addressing nearly 100 faculty members. As there are four faculty members on the search committee, Brockman said there should be no disconnect between the Board and the faculty. “We’ve only had 12 moments like See SEARCH on page 2
The 2004 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Commentary, Leonard Pitts Jr., will take the stage Tuesday as the second African-American to give the Creason Lecture. The Creason Lecture, named after UK alumnus Joe Creason, began in 1977 and there have been 33 lectures since — one each year except for 1978. The lecture, presented by the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, typically draws several hundred people, as students and faculty come to hear a prominent figure from their field speak. “It’s a very wide spectrum of diversity that they try to bring in,” Beth Barnes, director of the School of Journalism
and Telecommunications, said. The previous AfricanAmerican to give the lecture did so eight years ago. “The last Pulitzer Prizewinning African-American journalist to give the Creason Lecture was Angelo Henderson, one of our J-school graduates in 2002, and he got a standing ovation,” said associate professor of journalism Buck Ryan, the journalism school director from 1994 to 2002. Pitts is the five-time recipient of the National Headliner Award, and in 2001 he received the American Society of Newspaper Editors Award for Commentary Writing and was named Feature of the Year columnist by Editor and Publisher magazine.

Rain doesn’t keep students from first on-campus market Farmer’s MarCat educates about local products, economy By Bradley Gosser news@kykernel.com
The Buell Armory hosted a firstof-its-kind event on campus Monday. The UK Farmer’s MarCat gave students an opportunity to interact with an important part of the Commonwealth’s local economy. The event, which was planned for Hilltop Avenue, was moved to Buell Armory because of rain. Alli Sehon of the Student Activities Board, which organized the event, described it as “an experimental event.” “We’re going to see what kind of interest there is on campus,” Sehon
said, “and we’re trying to communicate with the farmers and other student organizations because the main purpose of this is to be educational.” Three vendors were present to represent the diverse community of Kentucky farmers and food producers. Elmwood Stock Farm, based in Scott County, had for sale a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs, beans, greens, poultry, beef and eggs. All of its products are organically grown on a farm less than an hour’s drive from campus, and it operates in all four Lexington farmers markets.

tomato and lettuce plants that can be grown in a flowerpot on a windowsill, as well as local honey and value-added products. “We take products from the farm and then we turn them into what they call value-added,” Houston said. “These are great for college kids because who doesn’t like chips and salsa, or some bourbon pumpkin pecan butter on your toast?” Houston is the president of Kentucky’s Community Farm Alliance, a 25-year-strong organization that focuses on sustainability and self-sufficiency at the grassroots level.

U2 sets rock ‘n’ roll tour record LOS ANGELES — U2 isn't a band that does things on the cheap. When frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge went to Broadway, they did so via “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” which has already earned itself the distinction of being the most expensive show in Broadway history. The band's “360 Tour” has been no bargain either, with costs tallying at least $750,000 per day, according to Billboard, whether or not the band even has a gig that night. So perhaps the news Monday released via concert promoter Live Nation that trumpets the “360 Tour” as the highest-grossing rock ‘n’ roll endeavor ever should come with an asterisk. After all, no doubt it’s one of the most expensive traveling rock shows ever, if not the most. Yet with 26 dates to go, the “360 Tour” has grossed more than $554 million since it launched in 2009. That beats a previous record set by the Rolling Stones’ “Bigger Bang Tour.” In the statement, U2 manager Paul McGuinness was quoted as saying, “That dollar figure for the gross looks enormous. Of course I can’t tell you what the net is, but I can tell you that the band spend enormous sums on production for their audience.” U2 only operates the scale of grand these days, but big, of course, is not always directly related to artistry. “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” for instance, is the Broadway show the

critics love to hate, and the “360 Tour” came at something of an odd time for U2. The trek was staged in support of the band’s 2009 album, “No Line on the Horizon,” which, while successful, didn't spawn a hit on par with a “Beautiful Day” or an “Evolution.” In fact, “No Line” represented U2’s more adventurous side, with slow-building songs that touched on gospel and largely avoided the knock-em-dead chorus or guitar riff. For a band well-versed in anthems, it was downright experimental, as U2 had released one of its quietest albums on the verge of staging its biggest tour. Fans shouldn’t have to wait too long to see where U2 heads after the “360 Tour,” which is named so for its construction of space-alienlike theater-in-the-round contraption. Bono has been vocal in saying U2 has plenty of material waiting in the wings, including an album that the band has been working on with producer Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells). Working with Danger Mouse should be an encouraging sign for those aching for a more challenging U2. Yet the stage for the “360 Tour” was said to have cost upward of $40 million to build, and one doesn’t make that kind of investment only to scale back.

Adams excels as two-sport athlete By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
In mid-February, UK head baseball coach Gary Henderson stood at the podium a week before the Cats season began, enthusiastic about his centerfielder, Brian Adams. One month later, UK head football coach Joker Phillips stood at the same podium on the eve of the start of spring practice, equally enthusiastic about a fast wide receiver on his roster. His name was Brian Adams. This is no coincidence, nor is it a typo. For the last month, Adams has practiced with the football team in the morning, and played for the baseball team in the evening. “It’s been a whole lot of fun,” Adams said. “God has blessed me with the ability to play both ... I’m just excited about playing both.” Adams has lined up at wide receiver in Phillips’ offense, an offense with plenty of holes to fill after the departures of wide receivers Randall Cobb and Chris Matthews. This spring he has worked hard to earn playing time that, for the moment, seems to still be up for grabs. In the evenings, Adams plays centerfield for UK’s baseball team, starting 25 of the team’s first 33 games and hitting .304 with 11 RBI so far this season. Adams’ biggest threat is his wide receiver speed tracking down balls in the outfield and running the bases. Adams is third on the team with eight stolen bases in 10 attempts. “Brian Adams goes out and hits a home run last night (a game against Xavier which UK won 15-2) and now makes a lot of plays for us on the perimeter,” Phillips said on April 6. “I’m happy to have him out there today. Hopefully he can make some plays for us and then go out and hit a couple

They’re very different sports; it’s a lot of fun to just come out here and play. “(UK wide receivers) Coach (Tee) Martin has been great showing me what’s going on, and Coach (Brian) Green with the baseball team has been great helping me with my swing. So both coaching staffs have been great.” In between football practices and baseball games,
Adams also manages to make it to his classes, and has performed well not only on the field but also in the classroom. Adams currently posts a 3.8 GPA, and hopes to graduate by summer of 2012. “I’m still doing good in school,” Adams said. “Barr Benson does a great job scheduling my classes, and Michael Stone for baseball — they do a great job. Without them I probably wouldn’t be successful.” Asked what Adams finds to be the toughest part of managing two sports at the same time, he answered that it was managing his frustration. “I just have to adjust quicker,” Adams said. “The biggest thing for me is just managing frustration. I always want to do everything perfect every time, and you can’t do that. Especially over at the baseball field, you’re going to get out. And that’s one of the things that’s not really my favorite things, but you just need to make sure you go up to the plate every time with a competitive edge and try and get a hit. It’s just an adjustment I have to make.”

Golf loses lead late, finishes second By Les Johns sports@kykernel.com
The UK men’s golf team battled both the elements and a highly-ranked Auburn team to a second-place finish in the 2011 UK Bluegrass Invitational at the University Club of Kentucky’s Big Blue Course on Sunday. The Cats held a onestroke lead at the end of the second round and an eightstroke lead heading into the back nine, but finished with a
24-over-par three-round score of 876, eight strokes behind tournament champion Auburn. Auburn, who outlasted 17 other teams from across the country to win this tournament, is currently the No. 6 team in the NCAA, according to the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. “We had it rolling for a while, but just didn’t finish it off on the back nine,” UK head golf coach Brian Craig
said. “We will learn from it and get better.” Craig went with a rotation consisting of two freshmen, Stephen Powers and Cody Martin, two sophomores, Seth Blann and Chase Parker, and one junior, Mads Kristensen, for this tournament. “We are definitely a young team,” Craig said, “which makes it exciting for the future.” Powers led the Cats with
a 2-over-par score of 215 for the tournament. He also completed a team season-best score of 65, 6-under-par in the second round this weekend. He capped off that round with birdies on the final three holes. Although the Cats were happy to play at home a week before the conference championship, it was a very demanding course over the weekend. Play on Saturday was halted for several hours
due to inclement weather. Sunday’s play featured wind gusts close to 40 mph. Craig said the team loves battling the elements. “We were hoping the wind would blow,” Craig said. “We play in the wind out here all the time.” The wind did seem to have an impact on the back nine, however, where the Cats lost their 8-stroke lead. “We had a few disasters,” said Craig.
The tournament, which was the fourth annual UK Bluegrass Invitational, ended regular season play for the Cats. Next up for the team is a trip to St. Simons Island, Ga., to play in the Southeastern Conference Championship this weekend. “Sea Island is a great place,” Stephen Powers said. “It will be fun to go down there and compete.”

Center aids health
Icon to receive honorary degree
Barnstable Brown known for more than gala
Speaker went through same trial as Nelson Mandela By Drew Teague
By Kristen Manouchehri news@kykernel.com
The Barnstable Brown name may no longer only be known for one of Kentucky’s largest and most popular Derby parties, but also in regards to UK’s Diabetes and Obesity Center. Although UK’s Barnstable Brown Kentucky Diabetes and Obesity Center is in its second year, it still flies under the radar. The center has been in the process of improving its availability and access to patients. It has three new providers and has not been aggressive in marketing due to the limited capacity to see new patients, until now. According to its website, the center’s purpose is to coordinate efforts engaged in diabetes and obesity research and clinical care at UK, as well as conduct investigative research into diabetes, obesity and all health issues surrounding the two. It also researches blood vessel disease, understanding the mechanisms of diabetes, various cardiovascular fields and aspects of complications. “In Kentucky, diabetes affects a large percentage of the population,” Sheri Setser, a registered dietician who works with the center, said. “With the overwhelming obesity problem in Kentucky, type 2 diabetes
in particular is a growing issue.” She said the goal of the center is to educated people about diabetes and obesity. Kentucky ranks seventh in the nation for prevalence of both diabetes and obesity. Roughly 318,000 Kentuckians have been diagnosed with diabetes and an estimated 611,000 adults ranging from age 40 to 74 have pre-diabetes and are at high risk of developing diabetes. “The main problem in our culture is we have an abundance of high calorie foods,” Dr. Ray Reynolds, the director of the Barnstable Brown Kentucky Diabetes and Obesity Center, said. “We need to increase our level of daily physical activity and need to eat more foods from the garden. We need to eat more whole foods such as fruits and vegetables.” On Derby Eve, the Barnstable Brown family hosts a gala and all proceeds made go to fund diabetes research and clinical care at UK. The family has committed the earnings generated from the gala for the next three years. Research is also funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the American Diabetes Association. The Barnstable Brown Diabetes and Obesity Center is located in UK’s clinic and includes two full-time diabetes educators and a number of individuals who offer full service for patients.

An international legend will visit UK this week to talk about his struggles and the struggles of South Africans. Ahmed “Kathy” Kathrada and his wife, Barbara Hogan, will be receiving honorary degrees at UK, as well as speaking on various topics. Lauren Kientz, post-doctoral scholar in the office of the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, is heading the Arts & Sciences South African initiative. “Ahmed Kathrada was one of a handful of people tried in during what’s known as the Rivonia Trial, and that was the same trial that Nelson Mandela was imprisoned,” Kientz said. “They were both imprisoned for over 20 years because of their belief that all people should have a say in the functioning of South Africa.” According to a news release, Kathrada and Hogan will both be on UK’s campus for two public events on
Wednesday, the opening of an exhibit about Kathrada’s life and the ceremony where the two will receive Honorary Doctorates of Letters and speak to the crowd present. The University Press of Kentucky is also publishing Kathrada’s new book, “No Bread for Mandela,” according to the news release. Kientz feels that Kathrada would want students to take several things away from the exhibit, including details of his life from in prison and a replica of the cell that Kathrada lived in for 26 years. “I think one of the things that really matters to (Kathrada) a lot is something called non-racialism,” Kientz said, “which is a confusing word for Americans, because it sounds like not acknowledging race, but what it actually means is non-racism.” The exhibit also showcases what Kathrada endured during his many years in prison, both what he missed from the outside, like family meals, and also what made him live on, like working toward degrees,
of which he obtained four during his time in prison. “I think also part of this exhibit is about how he survived, how he and Mandela survived, for so many years as political prisoners,” Kientz said. Kientz said government is another focus for Kathrada. “In the fight for democracy, it was central (to Kathrada),” Kientz said. “They wanted a majority-led democracy. South Africa was ... a democracy, but a democracy of the 10 percent of white people.” The opening of the exhibit will be in Lafferty Hall in the Main Exhibit Room Wednesday at 10 a.m., and the presentation of Kathrada’s and Hogan’s honorary degrees will be in the Recital Hall of the Singletary Center. Both events are open to the public. The exhibit, “Ahmed 'Kathy' Kathrada: A South African Activist for NonRacialism and Democracy,” will be open daily from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. until May 14.

Abortion signs depict genocide, breast cancer in false light This past week, abortion detractors have pushed me beyond my previous mode — racy — and into a hard, left-leaning “pro-choicer.” I have always found those titles to be silly. I am a huge fan of life, and I’m sure the people who find abortion morally abhorrent do not wish for complete fascism. It is only on abortion that we make these grandiose implications about our neighbors. If I believe in gun rights and AMANDA wish to have an RPG launcher in WALLACE my garage, my neighbor might Contributing believe me to be crazy, but probcolumnist ably wouldn’t call me a murderer, or claim I was perpetrating genocide. Genocide is not a word to be bandied around. It is not something you say casually. Genocide is a word you use to describe real monsters: Hitler and Saddam, and those who were involved in the massacres in Bosnia and Rwanda. If you are a student of history, you’ve read and seen pictures of true horror, true genocide: The man with machete cuts across his face; the Sudanese baby girl being stalked by a vulture as she takes her last breath; the seven mass graves found at the Sobibor death camp; true evil that words are simply incapable of expressing, moments in history where you want to ask “why?” because you never thought your fellow man would be capable of that. That is genocide. So, with this historical context, how dare anyone call a legally upheld medical procedure that name? Moral outrage brings out the fighter in us all, but must it be expressed in violent imagery, or in the rhetoric of hate? Does anyone truly expect to change someone’s mind with the picture of a beaten little boy or a woman’s chest ripped open to remove cancerous tunics? This is not the language of peaceful discourse. This is “the Lady Gaga approach” to politics — I
will shock you into paying attention to me. You can’t talk back if I’m screaming over you. When the disease that killed my grandmother is brought into a fight it has no part in, I am not only taken aback, I am offended on a level so deep it makes me physically ill. According to the Susan G. Komen site, “the scientific evidence does not support a link between abortion and breast cancer.” Sure, some women who have had abortions now suffer from breast cancer. Some women who eat cereal every morning for breakfast also have suffered from breast cancer. Causation and correlation are not the same thing. There are no words for a family broken by cancer. It should never be used as political ammunition. I believe in free speech. Every man is entitled to make himself a fool. The right to free speech should not make a person a beast. I have been told I was going to Hell by preachers who don’t know me from Eve. I have had fliers politely pressed into my hand by well-meaning people that show pictures of baby chicks being debeaked. All of these are things I can live with. When I am visually assaulted on the way to class, I cannot express my anger. What is the point? Because it is doubtful these images are effective. Shock rarely is. For those that support the cause, their moral outrage is defended. For those that do not, their belief that their opponent is “crazy” is confirmed. I know they will ultimately be as effective as this column. Because these are the kinds of things where opinions are not changed by screams and lurid, bloody images. They are changed by time. Long after we are dead, a victor will be declared, and we will not care, and maybe then, we’ll have peace. Until then, please keep your blood and gore to yourself.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In response to “Signs present inaccurate information,” by Melinda Johnson According to UN Resolution 260, Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, genocide can be defined as “imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.” By this definition, abortion is indeed genocide. One could argue that the abortion of fetuses is indeed the most effective of genocides because it spans across all races, creeds and cultures in its assault upon the unborn. We could throw definitions around all day. By my terms, abortion is genocide and by Ms. Johnson’s, abortion does not fall within the parameters. The point being, abortion as genocide is not a lie; it is an opinion, and we live in a country where any opinion, however inflammatory or controversial, has the right to be exercised. I am sure the University of Kentucky displayed fairness in its judgment of allowing these opinions to be displayed on campus. No doubt pro-choice groups will be exercising their rights as well. As a history student, I have no doubt Ms. Johnson is familiar with the unflattering history of the First Amendment. Very recently, in the Supreme Court Case Snyder v. Phelps, the court ruled in favor of the church that protests outside of military funerals. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, “Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain.” Free speech is free speech to all, including those we may not agree with and opinions we may not want to hear.

Flirty Pop: Diet Coke launches chic bottles Fashion mogul teams up with Coke on new look for product SHELISA MELENDEZ Kernel columnist
Diet Coke is becoming a little more fashionable and slim with its new runway look. Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld has announced his second collaboration with Diet Coke. The new Diet Coke campaign is called “Coca-Cola Light.” In 2010, Lagerfeld launched a similar campaign with the company, but has decided to come back for yet another fashionable bottle design. “I loved what we did last year, but I will love 2011 even more,” Lagerfeld said in a Cosmopolitan UK article.
“I’m delighted about this collaboration.” Diet Coke threw a party for Lagerfeld on Thursday in Paris in celebration of the upcoming campaign. The new ad campaign models are 22year-old Canadian model Coco Rocha, who has walked runways for Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui, 21-year-old Jamaican model Jeneil Williams, who’s appeared in Teen Vogue and Love magazine, and 24-year-old American model, Heidi Mount, who has been in ad campaigns for Chanel and Prada. According to a Vogue UK article, this weekend Mount called the police to her Manhattan apartment alleging that her hair stylist husband, Shawn Mount, had a knife and was threatening her. Although that is neither here, nor there, let’s hope she’s alright. Back to business...
The new “Coca-Cola Light” bottles are to die for! A total of three bottles are included in the limited edition collection, and can be paired with an optional collector’s box (perfect for any fashionista).
The new bottles offer a slimmer look and are laced with pink accents … lots of pink! Along with pink stripes and designs, Lagerfeld’s signature silhouette (including his ponytail, of course) and pink cap are a part of the new design as well. According to a New York
Post article, Lagerfeld, 77, lost nearly 100 pounds in 2001, crediting a diet of stewed vegetables and Diet Coke. I’m not quite sure if that diet plan sounds most appetizing, but hey, to each her own. “It’s exciting for me because I love the idea and as everybody MCT knows, I drink Karl Lagerfield in 2005 after almost 100 pounds of weight-loss, which he attributes Diet Coke and to Diet Coke, escorting two runway models who are showcasing his designs. nothing else, night and day,” year and can be purchased in- designed by the Karl LagerLagerfeld said in a New York dividually, as well as a set in feld himself, the drinks are Post article. an exclusive prism-shaped also sugar-free!

Foreign-language publications diversify campus By Gary Hermann features@kykernel.com
Several new publications have started at UK this year and each brings its own unique content and perspective to the UK community. “In fi nI” is a creative writing foreign language journal that will include poetry, prose and fiction. In fi nI was started by biology and French junior Shady ElMaraghi as a Gaines Center project. “We have a good variety of languages and styles,” El-Maraghi said. His task was to “implement a project to benefit a community.” He said he chose the UK community.
He came up with the idea upon returning from overseas. “I came back and would write things in French, but there was no outlet,” El-Maraghi said. El-Maraghi said he received submissions in Japanese, French and German, among other languages. The submission deadline was April 5. The works are currently being judged and El-Maraghi hopes to have copies out before finals. The World Report will bring world news to UK and has been busy since the Kernel first reported on it on March 6. “The World Report is to serve as a source of international news,
centering on the international dynamic and its significance in the university community,” biology pre-medicine sophomore MeNore Lake said. “The organization's long term goal is to transition from a monthly online publication into a print publication.” The World Report has held its first informational meeting and first brainstorming session. According to Lake, their next step is to set an organizational agenda. “I founded The World Report in order to integrate the two differing worlds I encountered as part of my transition into college as a freshman: the university course realm
Harry Potter fans can test their wizarding wits By William Edmiston features@kykernel.com
Potter fans unite! A Harry Potter trivia night will be held at the Cat’s Den on Tuesday night from 7 to 9 p.m., where enthusiasts of the explosive, international literary series can test their expertise on the subject. Hannah Sloan, a junior at UK serving as the coordinator and host of the event, said the evening is dedicated to “people who love Harry Potter,” and who are trying to raise some well-deserved nostalgia in die-hard fans. “It’s part of people’s childhoods,” Sloan said. “They grew up with it.” Trivia won’t be limited to just the books either. Questions
will include an assortment of random facts from both the literary and film series. Sam Flynn, a senior Polit-

ical Science major and selfproclaimed Harry Potter whiz, has expressed his excitement and anticipation for the event. “I’m definitely going,” Flynn said. “I don’t care
about winning, I just enjoy the discussion.” Senior Business major Justin Sommerkamp, doesn’t share this sentiment. “I respect the books but I could never get into the movies,” Sommerkamp said. “I haven’t been into it since it went way mainstream. Needless to say, I won’t be going.” A compilation of prizes, ranging from gift cards to various Harry Potter memorabilia, will be handed out to the winners of the contest. For those of you trying to brush up on Harry Potter trivia before the event, check out harrypotter.wikia.com for useful facts and information on both the books and movies.

Cats Figment is an undergraduate liberal arts publication showcasing students work in short story poetry and visual art. “It’s a way for students on campus in the art department and creative writing to get their work out there early on in their career,” arts administration, art history and English junior Ashleigh Lovelace said. According to Lovelace, the publication will be about 25 pages and will see a limited release in the writing and English departments. It is intended to be an annual journal. “Next year, we’d like to do a collaborative effort with the creative writing faculty,” Lovelace said.
