UK faculty participate in sports league Roller Girls skate into fourth season By Amelia Orwick news@kykernel.com
One seemingly innocent UK faculty member just might prefer to trade in her business suit for a pair of skates and a helmet. Five UK faculty members help make up the Roller Girls of Central Kentucky, otherwise known as ROCK. The team opened its fourth season Saturday with a victory over the Little City Roller Girls at the Lexington Convention Center. Roller derby is a contact sport in which two teams of roller skaters race in formation around an oval track. A so-called “bout” consists of two 30-minute periods. Within these two periods are “jams,” or periods in which a “jammer” fights her way through a pack of skaters to score points. Meg Marquis, senior academic coordinator in the Honors Program, has been with the team since its formation in 2007. “I got involved when I decided I needed something outside work and parenting, and I remembered reading about the flat-track derby revolution years before,” Marquis said. Marquis was awarded MVP Jammer in Saturday’s bout. Her teammate, Hannah Trusty, who works in the UK AMSTEMM office, won MVP Blocker. Each team member selects her own nickname, for competition. Amanda DeBord, who works in the College of Law, decided on the name Sugar Shock when Def Leppard’s hit single, “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” came on during open skate one afternoon. Marquis is known as Rainbow Smite, while Trusty goes by Kitty O’Doom. Although the names may prompt some to

UK professor appears on national TV Episode features past cave diving experience By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
A UK professor was featured Tuesday on National Geographic for one her most terrifying moments as a cave diver. Stephanie Schwabe, a geology professor, was chosen to participate in National Geographic’s Explorer series in an episode titled “Angel Effect,” a documentary based on the book “Third Man Factor,” in which she was also featured. To watch the show, visit: According to National Geo- http://on.natgeo.com/fj5kmm graphic’s website, Explorer looks into the lives of people who have survived extreme situations, like 9/11 or being trapped in a blue hole, and “each felt a mysterious presence that guided them to safety in their time of greatest peril.” Schwabe was the lone female to be featured in John Geiger’s book, “Third Man Factor,” after someone recommended her to Geiger. Schwabe said National Geographic bought the rights and wanted to do a documentary, and again she was the only female to be featured. Schwabe said she tends to put those events out of her mind when she can, but has had to relive the experience since the filming of the reenactment.

Three thousand, eight hundred and fifty people attended the gold-medal game between the USA and Poland in the 2010 FIBA U17 Tournament on July 11, 2010. One of those people was John Calipari. He went to Hamburg, Germany, for a whole week to watch the U.S. U17 Team march toward a gold medal. More importantly, he was watching two members of the USA team, Michael Gilchrist and Marquis Teague. They had already committed to UK in the spring. They were his two members of the USA team. “The moment I really knew he truly cared about us was when he came out all the way to Germany to watch me and Mike play,” Teague said. “Just us. Nobody else was out there. No other people who he was recruiting.” Calipari simply came, watched his future players, and left, back to America, back to UK, back to the team he had to get ready for the upcoming season. Less than a year later, Gilchrist and Teague — along with Anthony Davis and Kyle Wiltjer — are now the next wave of talent crashing into Lexington. Two were added in the spring. Two were added in the summer. These are the four players expected to transcend the limitations of youth and win an eighth championship. *** Commitment date: April 14, 2010. Recruiting subplot: A lost family member, remembered through a college choice. For a man who possesses so many tangible skills, it’s funny how Michael Gilchrist is most celebrated for his intangibles. The effort. The dedication. The possessive desire to win. “People are going to love watching him play,” said Don Showalter, coach of the U17 gold-medal U.S. team, “because he plays so hard.” He was named ESPN Mr. Basketball USA, and the primary contributing factor was for “never taking a possession off.” He won New Jersey’s Gatorade Player of the Year twice, including as a sophomore — when Kyrie Irving was his teammate. Where he goes, others follow — including to UK. He was the first to commit, and he talked to the others about playing together, about creating something special to stand out even among the already special seasons occurring at UK. “I think Gilchrist will be (that on-court leader),” Showalter said, who saw it for himself on the U.S. team. “He’ll take that role. He’s so competitive. And he wants his teammates to be as competitive as he is. But he has a
nice way of bringing that across.” There it is again, that competitiveness. Calipari said he loves how hard Gilchrist plays, how much effort he exerts for second- and third-chance opportunities, how he’s the guy who comes in early and stays up late — but also the guy who gets others to do the same. “Michael’s just a competitor,” Calipari said. “And you put him on a team full of competitors, and he’ll just take his stuff up another notch. I’ve seen it.” Gilchrist’s UK landmarks, however, are intertwined with personal tragedy. His father was murdered when he was two years old. Gilchrist told ESPN he watched “The Lion King” every Friday after school, remembering his father. Sometimes it would hurt. The story was too real, too him. But his memory can live on, must live on. Michael wore No. 31 in high school, his dad’s number. Every free throw he shot, he would close his eyes and think about his dad. Gilchrist announced his college choice on April 14, they day his dad would have turned 44. Then signing day came. Gilchrist and his family gathered for a celebration of his dreams. “We’re going to try to make it a fun, family event and just look back on the blessings that have led Michael to this point,” Michael’s mother told 247sports the week before the event. But the day of the signing, Michael’s uncle collapsed. Michael performed CPR on him for 18 minutes, according to ESPN. It didn’t work. His uncle passed away, four hours before Michael was set to sign his Letter of Intent. In his uncle’s honor, Michael went ahead with the signing and celebration. He was creating a new UK family. *** Commitment Date: April 22, 2010 Recruiting subplot: Had his mind set on Louisville before family advised him to give it more time. He gave it more time, and chose UK. Marquis Teague shouldn’t be worried about being next in the succession of John Calipari point guards. He’s been following greatness his whole life. His father, Shawn, played for Rick Pitino at Boston University. His cousin, David, was a Second Team AllBig Ten guard at Purdue. His older brother, Jeff, played at Wake Forest and has moved into the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks. Each Teague gradually eclipsed his immediate predecessor’s success; Marquis is expected to do the same. And while the two could be “taken as twins if you look at them,” said Showalter, “Marquis is better See COMMITS on page 6

ROCK Continued from page 1 laugh, the sport is not to be taken lightly. The danger of injury is always lurking, DeBord said. “We do our best to teach skaters to be safe, and we require protective equipment, but injuries still happen,” DeBord said. “We’ve seen concussions, broken fingers, broken ankles and some of the nastiest scrapes and bruises you can imagine.” Despite the possibility of bumps and bruises, roller derby continues to gain popularity. Movies like “Whip It,” that feature the sport, have helped increase awareness. However, not everyone wants to see it become conventional. “There is an interesting argument within the derby culture about it becoming mainstream. Some people really want to see it treated like other sports, while others love that it’s a little dif-
ferent,” Trusty said. Roller derby is different in the sense that everything is organized and managed by the competitors themselves. It is known as a DIY, or “do it yourself” sport.
“We bust our butts ... we’re just regular women who want something more from life.” AMANDA DEBORD College of Law employee
“While ‘Whip It’ has helped bring the sport to the public eye a little bit, it’s the grassroots nature of the sport that is having more of an effect,” Marquis said. The ladies of ROCK even have the support of the people of Lexington, including Mayor Jim Gray. Gray was scheduled to blow the first whistle at the bout Sat-
urday, but fell ill. He will make up for his absence by attending the bout on June 4. “It means a lot to me to see faculty, staff and students at bouts cheering me on. I also think it speaks highly of the culture of acceptance at UK,” Marquis said. All of the women agreed that the sport brings something extra to their lives. “We bust our butts to be good at this, but we’re just regular women who want something more from life,” DeBord said. “Until I get paid to skate, though, you'll find me in the law building Monday through Friday, 8 (a.m.) to 5 (p.m.).” The ROCKers will compete in nine more bouts this season,They hope to improve from last season. “We have finally gotten to a point where we are established enough to have a great mix of experienced vets and really talented newbies,” Trusty said. “As we grow, we look for tougher competition as well.”
DIVER Continued from page 1 “I had actually been in multitudes of trouble, but just this one time that I remember, and I kind of put it out of my head,” Schwabe said. “I think about it, deal with it and then put it away, and now I’ve been reliving this for the past year and a half.” The incident featured on Tuesday’s episode occurred just a few months after the death of Schwabe’s husband, who dove with her in a cave she had been in about 100 times. “That’s why I think (the experience) happened, because I was stretched emotionally — very stretched,” she said. “It was a cave site that Rob and I had spend a lot of time in … and this was my first solo dive in a place where he and I had spent a lot of time. It’s not surprising he kind of wandered into my mind at the moment of where I knew I really screwed up.” The filming took place last summer, Schwabe said, and National Geographic took her to Canada to look at her brain, before heading to San Salvador, Bahamas, where the cave is located.
“They first flew me up to Canada ... to have my head wired up,” Schwabe said. “There’s a guy up there who thinks he can actually isolate the region of the brain that actually generates this ‘third man factor.’” According to the show’s website, “science is taking a closer look, zeroing in on the location and the mechanism in the brain they believe may be responsible for these visions.” During the filming for the show, Schwabe said she learned a lot about herself in that situation. “It’s like living a nightmare again and again and again,” Schwabe said. “Part of it was OK, but at the end they interviewed me to get to the heart of things … and I always try to give the camera 100 percent honesty, so it made me revisit some places that I didn’t really want to go again. “That was my first time in that close a situation, so you learn about yourself — not on a curve, it’s straight up — but I do know that I obviously go into the thrashes of panic.” The show aired Tuesday on the National Geographic Channel.

Global warming harms habitat WASHINGTON — Global warming could increase flooding, shrink salmon habitat and invite in more invasive species in the West, scientists conclude in a sobering new report. Snow will melt sooner, the report predicts. Rain will replace snow altogether in some places. Fisheries will stress out. Surface water will be harder to come by, and groundwater will be drained, as average temperatures rise. “These changes pose a significant challenge and risk to adequate water supplies,” Mike Connor, the head of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, declared Monday. The changes are identified in a congressionally ordered study of global warming and Western water resources that Interior Department officials call the first of its kind. The 226-page study, issued Monday, examines eight Western water basins, including those served by the Colorado, Missouri and Columbia rivers. Many other studies have traced the relationship between climate change and water supplies. This latest study, authorized in 2009, is unique for examining all the Western water basins that the Bureau of Reclamation serves. The bureau operates dams, canals and power plants in 17 Western states. “There’s already a lot of data out there,”

Connor said in an interview. “This reaffirms a lot of what we already know.” The new study anticipates average temperatures rising 5 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit through the 21st century. The federal scientists do not, however, wade into the political thicket of assessing blame for why the Earth is warming. During the 20th century, scientists recorded a 3-degree increase in average temperatures through California’s Central Valley and a 2degree increase in Washington state’s Columbia River Basin. In general, higher temperatures will result in what scientists describe as “more frequent rainfall events (and) less frequent snowfall events.” Even within regions, though, the changes will vary. On the western rim of the Columbia River Basin, for instance, winter temperatures in the Cascades already hover close to freezing. With warmer temperatures, these snowpacks will shrink dramatically. Salmon populations probably will suffer, as streams and estuaries warm up and the seasonal water flows change. In the Pacific Northwest, scientists likewise predict more “thermal stress” for salmon as freshwater temperatures rise.

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook Inc. is leaping into the fast-growing daily deals market. The popular social networking site with more than 600 million users said it had begun testing a service called Deals in five cities. The service lets users save money on discounted deals and share their shopping expeditions with friends on the site. Facebook is entering a market that has been led by Groupon Inc. and LivingSocial, which have become two of the world's fastestgrowing businesses serving up coupons to consumers. Their success has spawned imitators and sparked interest from Facebook and Internet search giant Google Inc., which launched its own Groupon competitor called Offers last week. The daily deals market is expected to grow to $3.93 billion in 2015 from $873 million last year, according to BIA/Kelsey, a Chantilly, Va., consulting firm. Facebook’s plan to roll out a rival to
Groupon and LivingSocial has been in the works for some time. Last month, Facebook began enabling users who wanted to receive offers via email to “like” the service. Facebook, which is testing the service in Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas and Austin, Texas, has the potential to bring deals to even more people than other industry players because it operates a social network through which users already share this kind of information with one another. It is launching with 11 partners, including Gilt City, PopSugar and ReachLocal. Facebook plans to expand Deals into other cities, Emily White, the Palo Alto, Calif., company's director for local services, wrote in a blog post. Coupon sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial use Facebook to get new customers and to get them to share deals with their friends. But Facebook’s Deals will be more tightly integrated into the social network, giving it a significant edge on the site. That ultimately could prove lucrative for Facebook. Groupon and others typically keep up to half of the revenue.

Archaeologists with the Kentucky Archaeological Survey excavate grave sites near Eastern State Hospital on West Fourth Street Monday.
Excavations continue at Eastern State Hospital By Jarrod Thacker news@kykernel.com
Excavations are still in progress on the grounds of Eastern State Hospital, where a team of archaeologists are exhuming human remains of former patients from the 1840s to the 1860s. ESH, located on West Fourth Street in Lexington, is the second oldest psychiatric facility in the country and is thought to have thousands of bodies buried in different locations near the hospital. The Kentucky Archaeology Survey was commissioned by the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet to examine the ESH area, where construction for the new Bluegrass Community and Technical College construction will begin. The KAS is a joint effort created by the UK Department of Anthropology and the Kentucky Heritage Council. David Pollack, the KAS director and UK anthropology
professor, said that KAS is working with the Finance Cabinet to document the historical aspects of the hospital before it is destroyed. KAS has exhumed 115 human bodies so far, and they could possibly find between 20 to 30 more before the end of the project. Once discovered, the remains are brought back to the KAS laboratory on Export Street, where they are cleaned and analyzed. By examining the condition and fusions of the skeletal structure, archaeologists can determine the age, sex, health condition and lifestyle of the individual. Archaeologists have located human remains in the 25 feet by 150 feet area by examining the composition of the soil once the topsoil was removed, with mixtures of soil being indicators of grave sites. While the located remains have been found in both single and mass graves, Pollack said this is not simply careless work of the hospital.
“Everyone is buried in a coffin, carefully laid out,” Pollack said. “It’s not like a mass grave that you would think where they just threw (the bodies in). … They went into a lot of effort to bury them.” The KAS team is comprised of both professional and academic archaeologists, some being UK faculty and students. A. Gwynn Henderson, Ph.D., a professor of anthropology at UK, serves as archaeologist and education coordinator with the KAS. UK anthropology graduate students have been able to take part in the endeavor, as well undergraduates who have completed field courses, though they only work Wednesdays and Fridays. Excavations at ESH began in late February, and the KAS team is nearly finished, Pollack said. He estimates that with favorable weather conditions, they could potentially be finished with the excavation process in two weeks.

The world’s oldest oppression Unearthed fights sex trafficking By Martha Groppo mgroppo@kykernel.com

Pandas, you will die unless you broaden your diet. Readers, you will likely perish unless you learn to lighten up from time to time.

In fact, your loyal readership (and in my mom’s case, her unconditional love for me) is much appreciated.

Anonymous commenters, for example, “thetit,” “OU812, and “Henry Eighth,” clearly did not receive the aforementioned message. Said Henry (missing a definite article) Eighth: “Overcompensating, clearly. Poorly written, dull article. ‘Canadians are polite.’ Yawn.” Canadians aren’t always polite, Henry. I’m flipping you off right now.
Pandas, you will die unless you broaden your diet. Readers, you will likely perish unless you learn to lighten up from time to time. Yet some of you out there, let’s call you the stubborn pandas of the Internet, have failed to realize that this column was satire (even if only mediocre satire at best), not hard news. I’m not sure if the caricature of my visage that graces every column or the fact that I openly stated from the beginning of the school year that this column was “a nonserious (that means you shouldn’t get offended by anything I write) look at all things Canadian,” in addition
Had the Kernel not reformatted its comment board system around January, many of the comments for my earlier columns, some real gems, would have been preserved, particularly those comments in defense of Justin Bieber. I learned that when I poke fun at a multi-millionaire teen idol in a student newspaper, I should expect to be called an ass and jerk by those people who have Justin Bieber synched with their Google Alerts. Then there was the string

I’m not bemoaning any of your comments, actually, even if they come from stubborn Internet pandas (and especially when it comes from real pandas). But if you don’t like the article, then don’t read it. That applies to anything on the Internet. And when I say that these readers are my “hated readers,” I don’t really mean that I hate them, but sometimes their ignorance, rather than displeasure of what they had read, was staggering. However, their comments did provide me with a good laugh, which is all I sought to accomplish with these “Memoirs of a Canuck.” The very first line I penned in this series of columns was, “Hello, my beloved readers,” an acknowledged attempt at pandering. Now, 30 columns, nine months and 247 days later, I finally have my closing. To a certain eight out of 10 readers who dislike this week’s column, excuse me, but you seem to have mistaken me for someone who gives a damn about what you say.

COMMITS Continued from page 1 than his brother at this stage.” Watching Jeff play with the Hawks now — Atlanta is currently playing Orlando in the NBA playoffs — is distantly familiar to Marquis. He sees Jeff make a move, and he knows how the defender feels. He’s been that defender before. The classic tale of backyard battles between brothers was borne out frequently. The classic ending of little brother losing was also borne out frequently — Marquis has yet to beat Jeff. “But we haven’t had the chance to play in a while,” Marquis Teague said. “When we play now, it’s going to be a little different.” But those familial one-onones are insignificant, just a sideshow. The losses there weren’t as painfully real as his high school losses; despite playing for a powerhouse Pike program, Teague was knocked for not advancing far enough his first three years. Entering his senior year, Teague had to adjust to a new coach leading the way. Bill Zych, who coached Teague at Pike this past year, had coached against Teague at a rival school, and he had waited through the AAU summer before getting to meet Teague. Those first couple meetings, the pair talked about developing a trust and working with each other — a situation that Teague will again face once he officially becomes a player under Calipari. There was no butting heads, Teague said. “I think he’s really misunderstood,” Zych said. “He’s a quiet, shy, unassuming kid off the floor. Really straight forward. He looks you in the eye and has conversations.” The other perception, though, comes from Teague’s on-court demeanor. His first few years, he was a flurry of talent — and the accompanying emotion was overbearing. He celebrated after breakaway dunks. He talked incessant trash on the court. It was too much. “I cut that out of my game completely,” Teague said. “But I still play with emotion. That gets me pumped up and ready to go. I pound my chest if I dunk on somebody.” Celebrating dunks are celebrations of the individual, of a singular explosive play. Teague has plenty of those. But when Pike finally broke through to win the Marion County Tournament, winning four games in four days, Teague showed his emotions in unison with his teammates, dancing and laughing and celebrating with his teammates. “It wasn’t a true Marquis moment, it was more of a team thing,” Zych said. “And that’s when he came to understand that we’re all in this together.” For Teague’s Senior Day, Jeff was in town for a Pacers game and made it to the gym. Given the chance to deliver his parting words, Marquis told his brother he looked up to him, that he’s been his role model, that he’s thankful for guiding him in both basketball and life. “Talking to Jeff that night, he didn’t believe Marquis would say something like that,” Zych said. “Not because he didn’t feel it, but because he usually doesn’t express it. It kind of touched him.” The words, Marquis Teague said, just seemed right. “I felt like it was the night to do it.” *** Commitment Date: Aug. 13, 2010. Recruiting subplot: An unsubstantiated recruiting scandal days before he decided. Anthony Davis makes a walk downstairs to eat at Perspective Charter School. He’s still in high school, remember, and high schoolers go to cafeterias to eat. Davis towers over everybody, and not just because he’s 6-feet10 and the Best Recruit in America. He towers over seniors, and he towers over sixth graders; Perspectives
houses them all in the same building. “Every time he walks downstairs to go to lunch, he gets stopped by the little kids,” said his high school coach, Cortez Hale. “They all want his autograph.” Being the epicenter of adulation has only recently become standard for Davis. Through his sophomore year of high school, he was a 6-feet-3 guard. Good enough to play Division I basketball, sure, but not good enough to be thinking about playing for UK, because “everybody is 6foot-3,” said Hale. “I knew he had to grow a couple inches to get into the Top 100.” Instead, Davis grew 7 inches and became the No. 1 recruit in America. “He came to a summer game, and I was like, ‘Anthony, what is this dude? Where did this come from?’” Hale said. “He said, ‘I just woke up one day and this is what it was.’ I said, ‘Awesome. Wake up again and grow some more.’” Anthony maintained his guard skills, but now they were packaged inside a sinewy body that bounded all over the floor. He’s still developing a post game, improving his footwork and his hands and his physicality — but not his personality. He hadn’t been an elite recruit in his early high school years. The U17 squad, the same one that picked Gilchrist and Teague, passed him over for other perimeter players. Coaches weren’t transfixed on him. So when they did — including UK, which started recruiting Davis the summer before his senior year — he wasn’t changed by it. “He’s the same kid,” Hale said. “Not too much changed except for his height and his shoe size. … He’s not used to being told, ‘you’re the best player.’ He’s always used it as motivation. And now he’s still using it as motivation.” The changes that did occur landed him spots in the M c D o n a l d ’s

does his life — he’s a dual citizen). His father, who played at Oregon State and was on the Canadian Olympic team in the 1980s, would teach him drills when Wiltjer was in the developmental stages of his basketball life. The education led to a running jump hook that Calipari said he is waiting to run plays for. He has an outside shot that won him the McDonald’s All-American three-point contest. His game isn’t founded on the sheer, unattainable athleticism of the other three; instead, it’s predicated on intelligence and guile. Showalter coaches the U.S. team, but has great respect for how the international system and game helps develops an all-around game. The concept of positionality — that a player is bound to a certain position because of height — is nonexistent. Players work on every facet of their game. That versatility is evident in Wiltjer. “Wiltjer’s not quite the athlete the other three are,” said Showalter. “But he can really shoot it and has a great feel for the game.” Still, Wiltjer recedes into the background of consciousness easier than the others, for a multitude of factors. He plays high school basketball across the country and plays competitive basketball for another country. He’s a consensus top20 recruit, but that puts him m o r e than
He’s the same kid. Not too much changed about him except for his height and shoe size.”
All-American Game, the Nike Hoops Summit and the Jordan Brand Classic. Heading into the final game of the three, Davis hadn’t won an MVP honor yet. He wanted one. So he dropped 29 points and 11 rebounds, got the coMVP trophy and told his coach that his Twitter was blowing up. Those games built camaraderie, even as the four UK recruits had to alternatively play with and play against each other. It was musical chairs, just with extremely talented high school basketball players. “Coach kept making fun of Anthony, like ‘you’re letting your boys score,’” Hale said of the Jordan game. “Anthony was like, ‘I have to let them score.’ They were cracking jokes on each other all game.” *** Commitment date: Aug. 28, 2010. Recruiting subplot: Committed without having visited UK’s campus. One hundred and thiry-six days after Gilchrist first committed to UK, Kyle Wiltjer announced he was coming too, completing a quartet that has remained unchanged since. His first stated reason for the decision was that he wanted to surround himself with the best players; by choosing UK, he ensured that. While he was the featured player for the Canadian National Team, he won’t be a primary option in UK’s offense. “He’s not the type who needs the ball in his hands or have the offense run through him,” said Team Canada head coach Roy Rana. His game has a distinct international flavor to it (as

double the distance back from the third-ranked player in UK’s class. He was the last of the four to commit to UK, and by the time he did, UK fans had already rejoiced over the new haul. When he played for the World Team in the Nike Hoops Summit, he stood on the other side of the floor from Davis, Teague and Gilchrist, all three donning the USA jerseys. Wiltjer was playing with some of his best friends for the Canada team. He was also playing against some of his best friends for his future team. “He was so professional,” said Rana. “Playing against three guys you know you will end up playing with — it’s not easy. He balanced it very well.” *** The four have played together before, in some form. Gilchrist and Teague playedtogether for the U.S. team. All four were on the same court for each of the three All-Star games. But they’ve never quite been united in one jersey. Not yet. That day will come soon. They went to the 2010 Big Blue Madness together — when he got back, Davis told his coach UK “was the place to be” — and text each other all the time. Teague called their bond “like a brotherhood.” The four get to campus in June. They start practicing in August. They start playing in November. But the most important month, of course, is March, and they’re already thinking about that. Davis has already said UK can and will win the championship. “He’s seen what they all can do,” Hale said. “So he’s like, ‘Why not? Why not say we’re going to win the national championship?’”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
College graduation: Looking back on the past, forward to the future LETTER TO THE EDITOR On Monday night it had just stopped raining when I began driving down Main Street. I had driven this particular stretch of road several times before, but because of the recent rain, everything around me appeared to be glistening brightly, and the lights on the Kentucky Theatre were blinking on and off bright as ever. I looked up and down the street and realized that as my time at UK is dwindling down to an end, so is my time as a Lexingtonian.
Somehow, everything that I complained about these past four years ... seems like nothing more than a distant and nostalgia-clouded memory. I have spent my entire life in this city — that suddenly looked brand new in the rain — and now it was time to say goodbye. I, along with hundreds of my closest friends, will be packing my bags and leaving to start a new life in a new place. Tears stung my eyes as I realized that come August, I would no longer be walking down the streets of Main — going to the Regal Theatre to catch the latest indie flick, or running to Hugos to down tequila shots on Friday night or stopping at Sam’s
Hot Dog Stand on the way to work. I will no longer be a 21-year-old undergraduate student who believes she can get away with anything, so long as she smiles. No, that girl will be replaced with a 21-year-old law student who will be trying to make it in a competitive, fast-paced world. As May 8 draws closer, I am remembering to savor every moment as I walk around campus and up and down the halls of White Hall Classroom Building. I never thought I would miss the building that some say resembles a prison or the lectures that take place inside of it, but I will. Somehow, everything that I complained about these past four years — The parking! The professors! — seems like nothing more than a distant and nostalgiaclouded memory. The four years I spent at UK have undoubtedly been the best four years of my life, and I am becoming slightly terrified as I begin to imagine my life without belonging here as a student. However, I do know that UK has prepared me well, and I know that more memories will await me in North Carolina. But I’ll never forget my time here at this school and the memories I have surrounding this campus. So, farewell class of 2011, and may we all take time in the coming weeks to look around and appreciate what UK means to us. I hope it looks just as beautiful to you as it did to me. Katherine George English senior
The quest for leisure time Americans, it seems to me, have a strange notion that leisure is a bad thing. We think of leisure in negative terms, as a kind of void in between work — time that could have been spent, but instead was wasted. We end the weekend bewailing how poorly we used our time and how much we could have accomplished had we only had PHILIP discipline or presence TIMMERMAN the of mind to do so. Contributing Far from appreciating columnist it, we feel guilty about leisure. We feel guilty because it puts a stop to the otherwise ceaseless march of progress. But who cares? Why does this even matter? Because progress is the American’s primary motivator. No one asks, “What are we progressing toward?” They only ask, “Are we progressing?” Yes is good, no is bad. Work is good, leisure is bad. The problem with this frame
of mind, however, is that as obsessed as we are with running faster and longer, it never occurred to us that we might be on a treadmill. Furthermore, if we ever stop running long enough to actually ask ourselves where we’re going, that is, what we want from life, we typically say something of this sort: “Well, I guess all I really want is a comfortable house, a decent car, weekends to go fishing with my friends, enough money to take a nice vacation, nothing crazy.” This is leisure. We want leisure. So here is the paradox: We are slaves to progress, running tirelessly for fear of an instant of inactivity, but when someone asks why we are running, we answer, “So that we can stand still.” Some, realizing this, immediately stop dead in their tracks. You can see them sitting on their front porches during the day, complaining about the government. My advice: Keep running. Just step off the treadmill.

ANNIE HUGHES, Kernel cartoonist
Tuition raise necessary for better UK LETTER TO THE EDITOR Annie Hughes’ opinion piece on the upcoming tuition increases shows an astounding level of ignorance by the author, and failed to address several key aspects contributing to the need for higher tuition. Ms. Hughes complains about the university resorting to raising tuition instead of seeking other options, but fails to provide any alternative solutions. She ignores the simple fact that at some point there becomes no other way to achieve a better product than by charging more for it. I fail to see the problem with our university attempting to spend more money on “scholarships, implementing general education reforms and utilities.” Furthermore, the fact that UK faculty and staff have endured years without pay raises only reinforces the need for additional funds. How can our university hope to make any progress, let alone reach the coveted Top 20 status, without paying our best professors the wages they deserve? In order to keep our top teachers and researchers, to continue to improve university facilities and to raise the status of UK, our administration must spend more money. It does not take a degree in economics to realize that with the state cutting the university’s budget, raising tuition rates is an absolute necessity.
Nowhere in her article does Ms. Hughes show a greater degree of ignorance than in her assertion that “when our basketball coach receives a $31,650,000, eight-year contract, something is amiss.” How can one say something is amiss when said coach is a part of one of fewer than ten self-supporting athletic programs in the nation? How can something be amiss when this athletic program contributes millions of dollars to the university’s scholarship fund? Any students who believes their tuition dollars are going into Coach Cal’s pocket lack a basic understanding of how our university functions. Finally, I take offense to Ms. Hughes labeling graduating seniors as “lucky” because of their escaping the rising tuition rates. As a freshman, I consider myself lucky that when I graduate in three years, I will have received a better education and possess a degree that will be worth more because I graduated from a university committed to improving both its quality of education and its national reputation. Far from “going to sit in the middle of the Main Building’s lobby in protest,” students should be praising our administration for continuing its efforts for improvement in tough economic times.
