Blue defeats White in spring game Annual Blue-White scrimmage shows promise, displays flaws as football prepares for fall By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com

Wide receiver Brian Adams snags a pass during the annual Blue-White scrimmage on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. Adams led all UK receivers with seven catches and two touchdowns in the game.
On a gloomy day in Lexington, the sun came out for just a moment as the UK football team took the field for the first time since January, for its annual Blue vs. White intrasquad scrimmage. In a new format, the starters on both offense and defense suited up for the White team. The reserves made up the Blue team, and were spotted a 14-0 lead to start the game. Blue held on to defeat White by a final score of 31-28 courtesy of a Joe Mansour 38-yard field goal with under a minute to play. The game was quarterback Morgan Newton’s first opportunity to command the first team offense in front of Big Blue Nation, which brought a crowd of approximately 4,000 fans to Commonwealth Stadium for the game. Newton completed 2344 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon with just one interception. “I threw it all right, sometimes,” Newton said. “I could have made some better throws sometimes, but other than that guys were in the right place; we just need to make some plays. But other than that it was pretty encouraging.” Dropped passes plagued UK’s offense all afternoon, for both the Blue and White teams. Depending on how a dropped pass is scored, the two teams accounted for around 10 drops for the game. Both Newton and backup quarterback Maxwell Smith, who led the Blue team in the game, struggled with open receivers dropping passes. “They were tough catch-
es, but big-time (Southeastern Conference) receivers need to make those plays,” wide receiver E.J. Fields said. “You are going to get hit when you catch the ball, you are going to have to make diving catches, you just have to make those plays.” Fields opened the game with an acrobatic, one-handed catch over a defender deep down the field, and followed it by breaking two tackles and scoring the game’s first touchdown for the Blue team. Fields also suited up for the White team, catching a touchdown from Newton in the fourth quarter. For the game, Fields had three catches for 61 yards and the two scores between both teams. Brian Adams skipped UK’s baseball game with Arkansas to take part in the scrimmage, and led all receivers with seven catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns of his own, all for Newton and the White team
“You are going to get hit when you catch the ball, you are going to have to make diving catches.” E.J. FIELDS UK wide receiver
On the ground, Raymond Sanders and Jonathan George split time in the backfield for the White team behind a starting offensive line with four returning starters from last year’s team. For the Blue team, it was CoShik Williams who received most of the carries behind a line that provid-
Students stay at Website geared UK for holiday toward UK fans By Stuart Hammer By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
While campus does not officially close for the Easter weekend, many students ventured home to celebrate with their families. Others, though, had to remain on campus and find ways to celebrate with their UK family. Students attempted to find ways to celebrate the holiday around Lexington and campus with their friends who have not gone home, or spend their free time catching up on classwork. Daniel Baker, a communications senior, did not go home for the weekend so he could finish class work.
“I’m staying in Lexington and trying to get some final papers, homework done before graduation.” DANIEL BAKER Communications senior
“I’m staying in Lexington and trying to get some final papers, homework done before graduation,” Baker said.
Baker said he would have stayed at UK anyway. “Usually I do not go home for Easter,” Baker said. “I live two and a half hours away from Lexington and my family doesn't really do much except eat a big dinner, which is usually later in the day. It would be too late to drive back after we got finished, so it's just easier not to go at all.” Maria Cook, a first-year graduate student of health administration, said she lives too far away to go home. She said she celebrated in Lexington. “I usually did (go home for Easter) when I was an undergrad in New York because I was closer to home, but now my family is 10 hours away, so that’s why I couldn’t this year,” she said. Cook stayed in Lexington where she attended church before going to work, she said. “I went to church early in the morning and then came to work … because all the other employees wanted to go home,” Cook said. Cook said her family normally has events for the holiday for the young members, then a large dinner to spend quality time with the family. Because she is missing out on the family dinner, Cook’s family did send her some chocolate for the holiday.

There are certain things unique to UK, such as the desire for anything basketball. The Big Blue Nation is loud and proud, and now these fans have an online outlet. A new website has been created for fans and students to express their feelings for the school. OnlyatUK.com, a website formed earlier this year by UK student Evan Gunter, is a place for Kentucky fans, students, teachers and alumni to share their unique UK stories with each other in a format similar to other social networking sites.
“It’s a place to express events, your feelings or anything else that pertains to (UK).” EVAN GUNTER OnlyatUK.com founder
“The point of OnlyatUK is simple,” Gunter said, “It’s a place to express events, your feelings or anything else that pertains to the University of Kentucky, good or bad.” Gunter said the idea dawned on him while sitting in class. “UK was doing awesome in
index
the tournament and I wanted to do something where I could express those feelings to Big Blue Nation, and they could express similar feelings to me,” he said. Similar websites to OnlyatUK exist, like Total Frat Move, with the popular saying “TFM.” OnlyatUK has its unique tag: “OAUK” (pronounced “ohaye-you-kay”), which is added to the end of any comment posted on the site or on Twitter as its unifying symbol. “I think it’s a unique spin on some more popular sites,” Kyle Piercy, a UK student and regular user of the site, said. “The best part is that it was made by a student and is completely student run.” Gunter said he plans to keep building the site and eventually include new sections to get even more people involved. “I plan on adding an image section and hall of fame section to implement over the summer,” he said. Anyone interested in sharing their stories is encouraged to log on to OnlyatUK.com, create a username and share unique stories about UK with the rest of the Wildcat faithful. The website can also be found on Twitter, @OnlyatUK and using the hashtag, #OAUK. “I just wanted to build something to give back to the community,” Gunter said, “OAUK is definitely getting around.”

ed him with few holes and provided Smith little time in the pocket. “(The offensive line) just have to continue to develop, and continue to get better and develop some depth behind us,” guard Stuart Hines said. “Those guys are working their butts off, too, and they just have to continue to keep working, keep their heads up and keep confidence in themselves.” The scrimmage was also the first time the defense was able to display co-defensive coordinator Rick Minter’s new defensive schemes for fans in full-speed game action. The first team defense allowed only 94 total yards of offense to the second team offense in Blue, while the second team defense allowed 354 yards of offense to the starters in White. Overall, the defense looked strong on some plays, flawed on others, and confused on some as well. “I felt like the defense came together today,” linebacker Ronnie Sneed said. “We put together the pieces of the puzzle and I felt like overall we did pretty good. The guys got after it, and we gave the offense a rough time I felt like.” “We’ve got a lot of leaders on defense,” linebacker and reigning SEC tackles champion Danny Trevathan said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who aren’t going to let this team down on defense.” Trevathan led the White team with five tackles, including one tackle for loss. Linebacker Avery Williamson led the Blue team with 10 tackles and a “sack” (players could not actually contact the quarterbacks so assumed sacks were up to the referee’s See FOOTBALL on page 4
Prescription drugs the topic of forum By Chris Henry news@kykernel.com
The Bluegrass Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience will be hosting a presentation Monday discussing the use of Adderall and Ritalin as a study aid. A cast of experts representing the BGSFN will be speaking about the use of prescription drugs by students as study aides for their upcoming final exams. BGSFN has been active for nearly 40 years at UK, and according to its website the mission of the BGSFN is to “promote the advancement of neuroscience research within the Bluegrass.” The panel is scheduled to explain tips on how to study for and succeed in the taking of final exams without the use of these prescription drugs, and answer any question the audience may have. “I want to attend this presentation and see if I have truly been studying effectively for the past five years,” Tommy Kurz, a management and finance senior, said. Whitney Allen, an education sophomore, heard about the presentation in one of her classes. “I would like to learn about the effects of Adderall on the brain and discover why people use it to help them study,” she said.

Auburn tree poisoner admits mistake AUBURN, Ala. — Harvey Updyke, the avowed Alabama fan accused of poisoning Auburn's iconic Toomer's oak trees, broke his silence on the Paul Finebaum radio show Thursday. Updyke, who spoke for close to an hour in a rambling interview, briefly choked up while apologizing to his children and the University of Alabama, denying any guilt but admitting he called into the radio show as “Al from Dadeville” in January to brag about the poisonings, calling it a “prank.” “It’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made,” he said. “My wives said I am a crowd-stirrer. I was just trying to upset the Auburn nation. ... Do I want the trees to die? No. I would give anything in the world for this to not have happened. But I guess it's too late now.” Updyke, 62, faces a criminal mischief charge in connection with the poisoning of Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner oak trees, which experts have given a low chance of survival after large quantities of the herbicide Spike 80DF was found in the soil in February. He waived his preliminary hearing in Lee County
District Court on Wednesday, sending the case to a grand jury for possible indictment, with additional federal charges a possibility, his lawyer Glennon Threatt said. “I really think they’re going to put me in prison,” Updyke said. Updyke reiterated his claim that following the court appearance he was struck in the head outside of the Tiger Express gas station, three miles from the Lee County District Court. He said he stopped to get a green tea and spoke with a friend on the phone for close to 30 minutes. When he stepped out of the car, he was hit in the face “They didn’t try to kill me,” he said. “If they did, they would have hit me more than one time.” Updyke said he went to the emergency room at East Alabama Medical Center, where he was treated for minor injuries to his forehead before being released. He spoke to the Opelika police department about the incident but said he could not identify the assailants. There were no witnesses to the attack or surveillance footage, leading to speculation that
Updyke staged the event, a notion both he and his lawyer, Glennon Threatt, denied on air. “If we were trying to get publicity out of this, wouldn't it have been better if I had been attacked before the hearing?” Updyke said. “This is not a Charlie Sheen stunt. I am not winning. I’m losing.” Threatt said Updyke needs to get away from Opelika. “It’s almost like Superman getting away from Kryptonite,” he said. Updyke had his bond conditions altered Wednesday to allow him to leave the state. He was on his way to Louisiana on Thursday to stay with his children when he called into the show. He lamented the fact that he's so infamously recognizable that he won’t be able to attend another Alabama game and, while not apologizing to Auburn fans, empathized with their situation, saying, “I really can’t blame them. If I was in Auburn’s place, I would be upset too.” “I don’t want it to be my legacy,” Updyke added. “I don’t want to go to my grave being ‘Harvey the Tree-Poisoner.’” MCT

Reams releases new album James Reams and the Barnstormers, “One Foot In The Honky Tonk,” Mountain Redbird Music. 15 tracks. These days, most people think of outdoor family-oriented festivals when they think about bluegrass. But, as James Reams writes in the liner notes to “One Foot In The Honky Tonk,” bluegrass pioneers like Red Allen, Jimmy Martin, Earl Taylor, Charlie Moore, Don Reno, Red Smiley and Carter Stanley honed their music in the honky tonks, roadhouses and beer joints of an earlier era. Reams, who was born in the Kentucky foothills of Appalachia, has lived in Brooklyn, N.Y., for more than two decades now. But his music, which straddles the border where traditional country meets bluegrass, remains untouched by years of city living. “Honky Tonk” includes songs of rural life like “Cornbread, Molasses & Sassafras Tea,” an uptempo dance tune; “Bailing Again,” a song that finds a farmer talking to his dead father about crops and kids; and the traditional gospel song “City That Lies Foursquare.”
But the heart of the album lies with the honky-tonk theme. The title cut finds a man listening to a “hillbilly song on the jukebox” with a painted woman on his knee — “one foot's in the honky tonk, the other's in the grave.” The theme continues with “I Can't Settle Down,” “In The Corner At The Table By the Jukebox,” “King of the Blues,” Stonewall Jackson's “Almost Hear The Blues” and Harlan Howard's “Goin' Home.” Reams wrote “River Rising” about a flood that washes a family away and, with the late Tina Aridas, “Snake Eyes,” a song about gambling with love. The band — Mark Farrell, Doug Nicolaisen and Nick Sullivan with an assist from Kenny Kosek and Barry Mitterhoff — gets to strut its stuff on such tunes as “Susquehanna Getaway,” “Florida Blues,” “Rocky Creek” and “Passamaquoddy.” Good album by a good band.

Student athletes or pro heroes? The reality of a new Rupp arena Oxymorons are a fascinating way to look at social beliefs and commonly held conceptions and misconceptions. They are jokes that speak to a certain “truth.” Take, for example, military intelligence. Its inclusion into the oxymoronic lexicon shows that some people find the military’s capacity for information gathering to be somewhat suspect. My personal favorite, at least in regards to the UK, AMANDA is “student athlete.” WALLACE At UK, we simultaneousContributing ly expect a great deal from our collegiate basketball columnist stars, and very little. A lot because we expected freshman Brandon Knight to lead his team to the national championships. We expect a near unblemished record and a legacy, a hoops dynasty. We expect them to go on to be firstround draft picks in the NBA. And we expect them to do all of this in one year. This is because of how little we truly expect from our supposed athletic scholars. Because within a year from them entering campus, we expect and cheer for them to drop out. Surely, you say, you are being too harsh. After all, they’re going into a career. Yes, a multimillion-dollar career. So why come to college at all? Since when did a university become a oneyear waiting room for a million-dollar career? There is the old joke about how UK is a basketball team where some people happen to get an education. But it is more true then we seem to accept. Recently, a UK professor was lambasted for accusing the basketball team of giving enough money back to academics. How dare he? Doesn’t he know that basketball is what UK is all about, that it is through basketball, not academics, that we will attain the lofty Top-20 goal? I too watched the meteoric rise of John
Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. It was exciting and exhilarating to watch them play, and to watch them win. But my feelings soured when almost the entire starting lineup left UK. True, Patrick Patterson graduated. But for every Patterson, there is an Orton — a player who quit school, entirely, after his freshmen season was done. It feels like being cheated. Imagine a Cousins/Wall-led team with them as seniors: four years of learning how to play with each other until they can almost sense what the other is doing, that sort of sixth sense that is lauded and comes only though experience; four years of Calipari’s admittedly skilled coaching. Imagine if Knight stayed and tried again for the national championship that was almost within our grasp, and then think if we could’ve done anything other than win. This is why it feels so cheap when they drop out of college and everyone reacts as though it was something impressive. It does feel sad when we celebrate men in sports over the professors that serve their collegiate function. We have, in fact, become a semi-pro team where some people come for their education. So, I ask, why bother? Why go through all the trouble of giving them scholarships to an institution they have no interest in attending? They are not student athletes, then, not really. Not if they are just waiting for their eligibility to the pros. Brandon Knight has already apparently thrown his hat into the draft ring. Who next? Outside of Harrellson, who is planning on graduating from UK at all? Because at the rate we are churning out basketball stars, we might as well give up on the academics. We are, in the end, more likely to win another national championship than we are to ever become one of the Top-20 universities in the country. Amanda Wallace is an English junior. Email opinions@kykernel.com.
As UK students struggle to find parking, deal with rising tuition rates and fees and fight to get into the few classes everyone seems to need, it’s good to know the university directors have their priorities straight: promoting sports above all. As the city of Lexington faces serious budget cuts and a fuM. NOLAN ture of increasing GRAY deficits, a new basketContributing ball arena seems to recolumnist main a priority, and this is comforting to me, the average tax payer. But enough of the sarcasm; we need to get real about our financial future, or we are going to seriously jeopardize the financial stability of our city. The first serious issue is funding. The process of building a new sports arena has started out on the right foot: with an unfunded $350,000 “task force.” But our inability to even make the first step is the least of our worries. With a deficit exceeding $25 million, and a projected boom in deficits as time goes on, finding the millions necessary for this proposed sports arena seems laughable. Mayor Gray has made impressive cuts in refusing his salary, laying off public employees and closing two pools and a golf course. While admirable in their ambition, these cuts at the very best only serve to reduce, not end, our persistent deficit. Throwing a new basketball arena into the mix could lead to significantly higher deficits, and worse, significantly higher taxes. The fact is, we don’t have the money for a new city-owned sports are-
na. Beyond simply not having the money, does the city government even have a responsibility to maintain something like a basketball arena? A common argument for those in favor is that it will increase economic vitality, but has been repeatedly proved untrue. In a 2003 Cato Institute research article, Dennis Coates and Brad R. Humphreys found that a decrease in real per capita income was the common result of city-built convention centers/sports arenas. In fact, the studies on the subject generally seem to show that government built convention centers/sports arenas negatively impact the economy generally, encouraging the government to pour more money into them as costs rise over time, inevitably leading to increased taxes, making our city less competitive. The evidence speaks for itself, but the principle is also important. Why should the city government coerce tax payers into supporting a sports arena they may very well not use? We know that by supply and demand, if the demand is there, private groups will build and maintain a convention center, and probably in a far more efficient manner. Government involvement is unnecessary at best and destructive to the economy at worst. So the city government clearly cannot and should not build a new sports arena. But what about UK? Well, I’ve got a novel idea: How about instead of wasting money on a basketball arena, we lower tuition and resume much needed raises for UK’s excellent faculty and staff who have not had raises in years.

Boys & Girls: Tackling the rain Women’s intuition can predict the future, foretell disasters and save the world, but there’s just something about the weather. The eyes on the back our heads can’t seem to see bad weather coming. Sorry. We can’t be expected to be good at everything. This explains why we always seem to be MARTHA wearing the wrong GROPPO thing. And why meeting a boy with an umKernel columnist brella is one of the most romantic scenes we can imagine. Any woman who has been stuck in a white outfit during a deluge sans-umbrella knows what I’m talking about. What about that day you wore a skirt during the tornado big enough to blow Dorothy back to Oz? Your anxiety built as you felt updraft after updraft. Then, WHOOSH! Your vision was blocked by the same patterned skirt you had just seen safely below your waist. High heels in puddles (or snow … or ice … or mud), strapless dresses in the cold, long hair being blown into lip gloss — these inconveniences make bad weather just a little more annoying for us. Why do we not learn from our experiences? Because you so kindly help us. I mean, honestly. Getting dropped off right next to the door isn’t exactly moti-
vation for us to dress more practically next time. Don’t make fun of the girl wearing rain boots on a sunny day. Yes, the garish colors, stripes and rubber duckies decorating her wearable fortresses of dry are tacky, but she is at least making an attempt to be prepared. She can’t help that her women’s intuition just failed her. And don’t laugh at the girl in white who is looking more and more like she belongs in a bad chick flick as the rain pelts her. Just open up that umbrella you always seem to have on hand and fall in step beside her. Good grief, could we get any more rain? Seriously. I still have a lot of work to finish before graduation, and every time these storms come rolling in I wake up not knowing where I am. On a typical rainy day, one can usually find me KO’d in any of these four locations: the couch at the Kernel, the back of Memorial ANDY Hall, front and center BURRESS of 215 CB or literally anywhere in my apartKernel ment … literally. columnist It’s aggravating really, to not have a say in the matter. You think I like sleeping this much? I’m like a sloth. It’s happened on
&
more than one occasion where instead of studying the final hours before a big test or finishing up a paper, I’m instead balled up in the corner purring. I’m no help when it comes to calming the ladies either, for the same reason. I feel so bad for them, going on and on about how afraid they are, while I’ve got one eye half closed looking like a crazy person trying to stay attentive. I wonder if I’m alone. Oh hey it’s raining againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Andy is an ISC senior. He is also asleep. We would like to apologize to his fans for such brevity, but it seems he overheard someone say it was raining outside …
Worship event unites Christians Multiple groups plan fellowship with music, prayers, drama By Rachel Sarnovsky news@kykernel.com
Worshippers have the opportunity to unite Monday evening, as UK students and faculty are invited to come together and fellowship at University United Worship. Jessica Carter, president of Calvary Campus Ministries, planned the event with members of Baptist Campus Ministries, Calvary Baptist Church and Katryn Eske, creator of United Worship. “This year we decided to have a United Worship Service,” Carter said.
“The service will consist of several different on-campus Christian organizations leading a few songs, prayers and a very short drama.” The idea was to create an event that incorporated various Christian organizations working together. “We all wanted to have the ministries become united as worshipers, instead of (being) separate,” Travis Ammon, a member of Calvary Baptist Church, said. The event mainly consists of worship music, but will allow time for an open mic session. “Katryn will open and close the serv-

ice and briefly explain why she wanted to have this event, and what she wants people to take away from it,” Carter said. This is an outreach event open for anyone who is interested. “We are very excited to see our planning finally come to fruition, and we’d love to see a packed house,” Ammon said.

The UK baseball team broke out of its funk this weekend by winning its first series against No. 12 Arkansas in seven years. The Cats took the first two games of a rainy three-game series 3-2 and 3-1 this weekend in Lexington. PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFF
UK outfielder Brian Adams swings at a pitch in a game against Arkansas this weekend at Cliff Hagan Stadium. The three-game series experienced numerous rain delays and two game postponements.
FOOTBALL Continued from page 1 discretion) of Newton. Justin Henderson recorded seven tackles of his own and two sacks, including a sack of Newton on fourth down, which ended the game. At the end, the backups had defeated the starters by three, but considering they had been spotted 14 points before the players even took the field, the starters actually won by 11. “That shows the depth of the team; it shows the versatility of the team,” Trevathan said. “We can fit guys wherever ... and if someone was to get hurt they could fill in.” UK head football coach Joker Phillips was pleased with his teams’ performances in the scrimmage. When Sept. 1 arrives and the Cats open their 2011 season in
Nashville against Western Kentucky, Phillips thinks he thought UK could stay in the title race for a long time.
“We can fit guys wherever ... and if someone was to get hurt they could fill in.” DANNY TREVATHAN UK linebacker
“I expect us to be in the title race for longer than we’ve been,” Phillips said. “Why not us? And I truly believe that ... I might get blasted for saying that, but why not us? But our players truly have to believe that.” The annual spring scrimmage concluded UK’s spring practice season.
