UK service to ‘Kick Butts’ Earth Day event promotes tobacco-free lifestyle
By Alissa Hayward news@kykernel.com
By Danielle Kaye news@kykernel.com
In November 2009, UK’s tobacco-free policy took effect. Tobacco-free Take Action! reports that students and employees are five times more likely to enroll in tobacco treatment programs since this policy has been adopted. In an effort to further promote a healthier environment for UK students and faculty, University Health Services will be sponsoring the event Kick Butts Day. At Kick Butts Day there will be large white sheets covered with handprints on display. Each handprint will represent five lives lost each year due to the use of tobacco products, according to a news release. The handprints in black paint will represent the 30 percent of UK’s campus who choose to use tobacco. According to the release, students at the event will also have access to information and resources that UK offers on how to What: Kick Butts Day stop smoking or When: Wednesday, April 20 how to help 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. someone else Where: Student Center Paquit. tio There will be Admission: Free free giveaways, including free fountain drink coupons for on-campus dining locations. “The goal of this event is to make students aware of our services,” Fadyia Lowe, the tobacco treatment specialist at University Health Services, said. “We want those who don’t smoke to know how to help those who do.” Kick Butts Day has been coordinated around Earth Week events to promote awareness of the impact of smoking on the every day life and the environment, according to the release. Cigarette butts are often not disposed of properly and end up on the ground. Butts are not biodegradable; it takes between 25 and 30 years for them to decompose. The use of tobacco products also contributes to deforestation, as one tree is wasted for every 300 cigarettes produced. Kick Butts Day is sponsored by University Health Services, Student Wellness Association and Tobacco-free Task Force.

Lori Gooding, director of UK’s Music Therapy program, sings to Josh Divens, a 3-year-old from Georgetown, Ky., on Monday, April 18, 2011 at Kentucky Children’s Hospital.
UK’s music therapy program is using music to help patients with various illnesses recover and adjust. According to a news release, “music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.” The release cited several positive outcomes that have been achieved through music therapy and music interventions, including emotional adjustment in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, improved coping-related behaviors in hospitalized children with cancer and decreased use of sedatives during medical procedures. UK is expecting to offer its first master’s degree in music therapy starting in the fall of 2011. Part of the UK Arts in HealthCare program, the music therapy program partners the UK PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFF Divens, a spina bifida patient, in a music therapy School of Music and UK Health- session on Monday at the Kentucky Children’s Care.

‘No impact man’ makes campus impact By Tyler Hayes news@kykernel.com
It turns out you don’t need footprints to get a following. At least, Colin Beavan didn’t. Beavan’s 2009 book, blog and documentary, titled “No Impact Man,” will debut as UK’s common reading experience for incoming freshmen. Last year’s CRE was “Zeitoun” by Dave Eggers. “No Impact Man” is a book about Beavan attempting to make no impact, or carbon footprint, on the
earth for an entire year. A documentary was filmed and released in September 2009, and there is a blog that still exists where he describes the experiences in the book. The book will be a required reading for the 2011 freshman class, but it isn’t just the freshmen who will be required to read this book. The book is already making a debut on certain parts of campus. For example, the Honors Program is doing its own project with Beavan’s See BOOK on page 2
Class sparks interest in China By Whitney Allen news@kykernel.com
UK students have the opportunity to use free classes from the UK Confucius Institute as a “testing ground” for their interest in Chinese language and culture. The Confucius Institute serves as a gateway between China and Kentucky by enhancing the understanding of China in schools, universities and communities across the Commonwealth through programs and partnerships that focus on Chinese language, culture and arts, according to its website. “UK students can volunteer in our institute in our activities: spring camp,
summer camp and many other activities we sponsor,” Confucius Institute Director Huajing Maske said. “UK Confucius Institute will be an important part of the ArtsAsia in the fall and College of Arts and Sciences’ China Year.” According to Maske, the Confucius Institute may organize students’ trips in the future to China and offer opportunities for students to interact with Chinese students who are invited to campus for summer camps. “Having the opportunity to learn about another culture is always intriguing,” journalism junior Cody Porter said. “It gives us as students the opportunity to broaden our skills and knowledge — which we can take to any job in the workforce.”
New technology is going to make riding the bus a lot easier. Cat Tracker, a GPS-based program designed to give CATS bus riders a way to track their buses location in real time, is coming to UK. Cat Tracker allows bus riders to figure out their bus’ location in multiple ways. Riders can check the Cat Tracker website, through an app for smartphones or via text messaging. Each bus stop will be assigned a number that allows riders to receive texts that inform them when the buses approach. Additionally, each bus stop sign will have a Quick Response, or QR matrix code that is scanned with a cell phone camera and then decoded by an app into the Cat Tracker website. TransLoc, the provider of Cat Tracker, offers free iPhone and Android apps that enables bus riders to check the bus routes from any location. Because the program updates in real time, bus riders can plan in case of delays, for example, from traffic or inclement weather. “I feel that I would be more willing to ride the bus if I was able to know when it was coming, especially in the winter when I would have to wait in the cold or the rain,” nursing junior Junior Danielle Tarney said. The Cat Tracker will also help the Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) figure out how efficient each bus route is and make adjustments if necessary. “It’s a big value to the students and employees, and will help bus riders manage time better,” PTS director Don Thorton said. In addition to Cat Tracker, PTS will also install an automatic passenger counter in each of the CATS buses. The Cat Tracker service will begin this summer on a limited basis, but will be fully functional by the start of the Fall 2011 semester. A program similar to Cat Tracker is already available at several universities and other Southeastern Conference schools, including Auburn University and Louisiana State University. Chrissie Balding Tune, marketing/promotion specialist senior for PTS, said the TransLoc program was “a good fit for the UK campus.” “Cat Tracker will benefit UK students, facility and visitors,” Tune said.
Spring brings flowers, activities to Arboretum By Brad Gosser news@kykernel.com

One hundred acres of beautiful Kentucky countryside is right across the street. On the other side of Commonwealth Stadium from UK campus, just off Alumni drive past Greg Page Apartments, begins a two-mile stroll through all seven major regions of Kentucky. The Arboretum is a living museum that showcases the diversity of the state’s native plant life. It also enriches the life of thousands of visitors from around the Lexington area, being for many students and area residents the nearest retreat into the woods. Spring at the Arboretum has taken off running, and in its wake, flowers and
index
trees burst with color. The park is alive with walkers and joggers, stoppers and gazers. Some are on bicycles, some walking dogs, others pushing wheelbarrows of compost or holding garden tools in dirty gloves. The objects of attention may be a rare flower, a school of fish in a shallow pond or a red-tail hawk hunting from the sky. The Arboretum Woods Path leads visitors through 16 acres of rare undeveloped Inner Bluegrass woodlands. Jim Lempke, The Arboretum’s Curator of Native Plants, said it hosts 18 tree species native to Kentucky, some older than three centuries, and more than 80 native Kentucky plant species. All in all, the Arboretum contains more than 1,200 native species of plants. “It’s just a wonderful, marvelous

place,” said Nancy Graves, a Tates Creek resident who has been coming to the Arboretum every year since it opened in 1986. “There’s something for everybody,” Graves said. “It just gets prettier all the time, trees get older and leaf out so beautifully.” Ashley Darland, one of the Arboretum’s new children’s education coordinators, has been busy planning for the opening of the Children’s Garden. The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on May 14 at 11 a.m. The theme for the garden is “Ready or Not…Here we Come,” because although the garden is still under development, portions of it are ready to open to the public. See SPRING on page 2
PAGE 2| Tuesday, April 19, 2011
SPRING Continued from page 1 “We’re going to have musicians, popcorn and lots of fun,” Darland said. Marcia Farris, staff director, described the Arboretum as “a living library.” She said an idea for a children’s garden was first mentioned in 1994. Ten years later, a conceptual design was drawn, and in 2007 construction began. This year, feedback from visitors will help the Children’s Garden staff find out “what we need to do to make it successful,” Farris said. “It’s the Kentucky Children’s Garden, so we’re trying to make it very much the story of Kentucky,” Farris said. “We want the children to be proud of Kentucky because it is a beautiful state, and also to connect them with nature. “They can get in the water, they can garden, they can climb, they can do whatever,” she said. The Children’s Garden will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Admission will be $3 a day per person or $50 per household for a season pass. The Arboretum also hosts
special events every week. Party for the Planet is a series of events throughout April to celebrate Earth Month. Arbor Day on April 30 will be packed with events, and tree seedlings will handed out freely. The Arboretum will feature a big band/jazz concert every Tuesday in May. An event calendar is available on the Arboretum’s website. Every year, hundreds of students and members of the surrounding community volunteer at the Arboretum. There are a wide range of opportunities available, from leading tour groups to protecting the forest area from invasive plant species. Adopt A Plot allows individuals or groups to take the responsibility to maintain small sections of the park throughout the season. This usually requires a one to two hour per week commitment, depending on the size and complexity of the plot. Anyone can volunteer at the Arboretum. No prior gardening experience is required, and those interested can stop by the visitor center between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. or visit http://www.ca.uky.edu/arboretum/ for more information.

BOOK Continued from page 1 book. The Honors Program usually has its own CRE for its incoming freshmen. This year, it is challenging the freshmen and all of the honors students to read the university-wide CRE book alongside the program’s book. The program plans to follow in Beavan’s footsteps as well. All 800 students in the Honors Program are asked to read the same copy of the book to go along with the book’s theme of having a small impact. Meg Marquis, senior academic coordinator for the Honors Program, said the program has received nothing but positive feedback about the project. “Students are reading each other’s posted notes and highlighted sections,” she said. Marquis said there were reasons for having Honors Program students read the CRE book. “We have lots of active leaders in the honors program, and that includes future K Crew members,” Marquis said. “We need them to guide more students. We wanted them to be more in touch with the rest of campus.”

‘The Greatest Movie Ever’ Morgan Spurlock gets to have his cake and eat it, too. And then sell it, shamelessly. In “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” the documentarian who turned himself into a physical wreck for his debut film, the nothing-but-McDonald's-for-amonth “Super Size Me,” explores the billiondollar world of product placement. You know, James Bond downing a Heineken, Tony Stark driving an Audi, and every movie star in the world Googling on iBooks. In a move that’s at once meta and masterful, Spurlock goes about exposing the branding industry by getting brand names to fund his movie. Hence, the title: Spurlock’s biggest backer is POM, the pomegranate beverage in the fancy twin-globe bottles. Spurlock wears Merrell shoes, drives a Mini Cooper, extols the virtues of Ban deodorant in all, his savvy screen treatise is sponsored by 20 companies, from Amy’s Pizzas to

And along the way, we get to see Spurlock make his pitch to a few of the more than 600 companies he either cold-called or confabbed with, uncovering the marketing machinations that drive Hollywood and the advertising industry, and impact all of us, whether we like it or not. Big-time directors J.J. Abrams, Quentin Tarantino, and Brett Ratner reflect on their professional and artistic relationships with brands and branding, and Noam Chomsky and Ralph Nader chime in with philosophical and consumer-advocacy views (speaking of Nader, stay for the credits). Is Spurlock selling out by pulling off this stunt? Is he biting the hand that feeds him? Is he working both sides against the middle? And does he think JetBlue is the best airline on the planet?

Two programs at UK are attempting to bring awareness to military families. The School of Human Environmental Science and the Department of Family Studies are presenting “Brothers at War,” a documentary film by director Jake Rademacher, at the Center Theatre inside the Student Center on Tuesday, April 19, at 7 p.m. The film focuses on the lives of two American service members as they deploy to Iraq. The film delves deep into what experience the brothers have with their “boots on the ground,” and then, ultimately, what effect war has on their transition back into their families here at home. The lack of information available to the general public about the issues and problems facing veterans with reintegration into communities is something that one particular department at UK is taking seriously. According to UK’s School of Human Environmental Science, a major factor of successfully reintegrating service members back into their families and communities depends on the understanding of such issues at the level of local community. President Barack Obama recently revealed a proposal labeled “Strengthening Our Military Families: Meeting America's Commitment,” which called for government agencies to broaden each department’s focus towards preserving the fighting force of the United States Military via programs directed primarily on the issues and conditions facing military families as a whole. Raising the general public’s awareness
of issues facing military families has developed as a major concern for the current administration after recent data suggested the general public’s awareness of issues concerning our veterans mirrored that of 1960s Vietnam Era statistics. The School of Human Environmental Science, along with the Department of Family Studies, are spearheading efforts aimed at conducting programs such as remote soldier outreach through Operation Military Kids (OMK), ongoing training for Cooperative Extension agents to reach out to rural military families in their communities, several research projects specifically targeting military couples and a graduate level course offered to students, FAM759: Working With Military Families. The development of Rademacher’s film began when his two brothers, the subjects of the documentary, received orders to deploy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Rademacher set out to answer the question “why did my brothers go to war?” but ended up answering more than what was expected concerning the effects of reintegration on today’s veterans. During the 2008 G.I. Film Festival, Rademacher took home the award for “Best Documentary Feature.” The film’s executive producer is Academy Award Nominee and long time USO supporter Gary Sinise. This particular showing will be available to all on a first come, first served seating arrangement. There will be a panel available to take questions from the general public immediately following the presentation.

I didn’t drive my car today. I planted trees at Lexington’s Liberty Park on Saturday. On Wednesday, I ate something local. This isn’t just a string of environmental actions that I happened to take part in; they are all events in this year’s Earthdays in the Bluegrass (EDBG), sponsored by UK’s Office of Sustainability and UK Student Sustainability Council. SHANNON Since UK Green Thumb FRAZER and Residence Life Recycling began the program in Kernel 2005, the ongoing challenge columnist has been this: For the entire month of April, the campus community is encouraged to take part in various events that promote environmental awareness and action. Events include cleaning area natural habitats like the Cane Run Watershed, attending lectures by notable guests about environmental topics and celebrating green initiatives already in place at UK and in the Lexington community. New this year was the “Pedalpalooza,” which featured bike maintenance instruction, bike games and bike organizations and businesses in Lexington. Considering the numerous opportunities EDBG has provided and will continue to host for the rest of April, I am proud to support and take part. But, first and foremost, I appreciate the steps UK has already taken for the sake of sustainability. For instance, the new Davis Marksbury Engineering building is certified by Leadership & Energy in Environmental Design (LEED), meaning the building meets standards and ratings for the green-ness and sustainability of its design. The Marksbury build-
ing is the first LEED certified building on campus. The Digital Village page on UK’s website said the Marksbury building saves 42 percent more energy than a non-LEED builtto-code building. According to a March 22 Kernel article, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designated the Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute as “the only Center of Excellence in Watershed Management in Kentucky and seventh in the Southeast,” and a $25 million energy efficiency and retrofit project has increased UK’s efficiency dramatically. But let’s not forget the low grade UK received on its annual College Sustainability Report Card last October (C+). According to a Nov. 1 Kernel article, the grade had decreased from a B- in 2009’s assessment. Critics said the drop might be due to changing measurement guidelines. The only advice I can offer to counter such an assessment is to continue to embrace green initiatives and do your part, whether that is to avoid driving your car, planting trees or eating something local. Earth Day is this Friday. How are you going to participate? Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. Email sfrazer@kykernel.com.

UK offense begins to find its rhythm in early spring By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
As the UK football team’s spring practice season draws closer to an end and the annual Blue/White game draws closer to kickoff, head coach Joker Phillips’ offense is still searching for a way to replace its starting quarterback, starting running back, and two starting receivers from a season ago. Quarterback Morgan Newton will be entering his third year at UK, but his first as the Cats’ outright starter under center. New tailback Raymond Sanders also has experience on the field, but never as the team’s No. 1 guy. The receiving core remains a mystery, with plenty of question marks on the depth chart under La’Rod King’s name, including Brian Adams, Matt Roark and E.J.
Fields. With all of the new faces taking the field for the Cats this spring and all the attention they have gotten over whether or not they can match the stellar production of last year’s offense, it’s uncertain how the new offense will look. Newton has taken on more of a leadership role as the team’s field general, and although it is a new role for him, he has embraced it both on and off the field. “It’s not easy,” Newton said. “I’m not really a loud guy, I’m not a guy that talks a whole lot, but you come out here on the field, you have to step out of yourself and you have to be loud. You have to be a leader of the offense.” In addition to Newton’s leadership, the Cats have also benefited this spring from having time to play together
and feel each other out. Many of UK’s starters on offense feel that they are starting to develop chemistry with one another and that the offense is starting to find its rhythm. “There are days where the offense looks like it’s in really good rhythm, and there’s days where it doesn’t,” Newton said. “We just try to come out here and be in rhythm more times than not, and we are trying to get to the point where we are in rhythm all the time.” “We’re improving; every day we’re improving,” tailback Raymond Sanders said after a spring practice session over the weekend. “Last Saturday we were disappointed, we didn’t move the ball as well as we wanted to. Today, we came out and I feel like we did a very good job. Receivers were catching balls, running backs were
making the right cuts and running the right reads. I feel like today was a very productive day.” One concern on offense is the lack of depth on the roster. The Cats feature only one scholarship quarterback, freshman Maxwell Smith, behind Newton on the depth chart. They have four running backs in their backfield, but beyond Sanders there is little to no game experience. “We are a little thin right now just with numbers,” Newton said, “so we just have to work on everybody just continuing to improve and continuing to get better. If that happens, we will be solid all the way through.” When asked if Newton was satisfied with the strides the offense has taken recently, he remarked that he was pleased to see improvement but certainly was not satis-
fied. There is still work to be done as the offense continues to try and find its rhythm. “Like I said, it’s still early,” Newton said. “It’s April, and everybody is just trying to get better. That’s the im-
portant thing at this point, is coming out here and doing things right and creating good habits. If we do that and continue to have a good summer, then come fall we will be ready to make plays.”
