UK provost interviewed for Illinois presidential position last year
Bed bugs found in Student Center By Joy Priest
UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy was a runner-up for president at the University of Illinois last year, an Illinois newspaper reported Sunday. T h e N e w s Gazette, serving ChampaignSubbaswamy Urbana in east central Illinois, reported that Subbaswamy was one of two runners-up for the job ultimately given to Michael Hogan after a six-month search. The newspaper learned the identities of Subbaswamy and other runner-up David Daniel, president of the University of Texas at Dallas, through documents obtained under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Subbaswamy traveled to Chicago for two rounds of interviews, The News-Gazette reported. UK spokesman Jay Blanton said the provost didn’t have any comment on the matter. Blanton said Subbaswamy relayed to him that the process occurred more than a year ago. “He was honored with their interest, but he is very happy at the University of Kentucky,” Blanton said.

A lounge area outside of room 228 on the second floor of the Student Center addition, and later a TV lounge area close by, was blocked off Monday after a bed bug infestation was discovered on furniture in the area. “I discovered the bed bugs after sitting down and finding small, flattened insects crawling around me,” Sean Allen, a graduate health behavior student, said. “After studying entomology and biology at UK, I identi-
fied the insects as bed bugs.” Allen said he immediately contacted John Herbst, director of the Student Center, to alert him of the situation and the immediate attention bed bug infestations require. Herbst said in an email to the Kernel that the situation occurred around noon, and a representative from Okolona Pest Control was on site within a half hour of Allen reporting the situation. The Student Center staff then closed the lounge, per the pest control company’s advice,
and continued the inspection of all other furniture in the lounge area, according to Herbst. Allen expressed that he was satisfied by UK’s efficient response to the issue. “They responded by isolating the infested area to prevent students’ exposure to the insects and the spread of the bugs to other areas,” Allen said. After the pest control company took action, Herbst said that he continued to give attention to the issue by contacting PHOTO BY BECCA CLEMONS | STAFF Michael Potter, a professor of A lounge on the second floor of the Student Center addition, See BED BUGS on page 2 near room 228, was blocked off Tuesday for bed bug cleanup.

T h e group’s yearlong contract Capilouto will cost the university $285,000, spokesman Jay Blanton said. “The reality today is that while many of our dreams and aspirations for UK and Kentucky tomorrow have not changed, the underlying economic, social and technological conditions have,” UK President Eli Capilouto said.

The “Nation of Nations” democracy project, on display since May, lines a wall of the University Drive entrance to the W. T. Young Library.
An artwork new to the W. T. Young Library is turning heads in the University Drive entranceway. The “Nation of Nations” exhibit, by Lexington artist Marjorie Guyon, is an emblem of UKCore, the new undergraduate general education curriculum implemented this coming semester, according to a UK news release. The project includes 10 panels representing different peoples: Incan, Kenyan, Mexican, Moroccan, Cherokee, Hindu, Hebrew, Creole, Arab and Russian. “Have Mercy on Us” is written on each panel in a different language. Select lyrics from patriotic anthems “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” and “America the Beautiful” also sprawl across the panels. Guyon said she brought the democracy project to

Urinal malfunction causes damage on 3 floors of POT By Becca Clemons
A virtual tour of the Wildcat Coal Lodge was posted Monday on CoachCal.com, providing a projected look inside the two-story men’s basketball dorm currently under construction. The tour highlights areas like an interactive lounge, theater-style team room and private dining area on the first floor, as well as a lounge, quiet study room, and double room and double suites on the second floor. The lodge is located next to the Joe Craft Center on North Campus. Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2012.

A urinal malfunctioned and damaged three floors of Patterson Office Tower on Thursday, UK officials said. The overflowing urinal on
the fourth floor caused flooding that damaged areas on the second and third floors as well. UK has been installing new urinal flush valves throughout campus, spokesman Jay Blanton said. “These valves use less wa-
ter, lowering water usage and ultimately saving dollars on water bills throughout the campus,” Blanton said in an email to the Kernel. He said the flooding Thursday can be attributed to a faulty automatic flusher, which was stuck in the open position. The damage was isolated to one bathroom. UK’s Division of Facilities is overseeing the cleanup, and dehumidifiers and dryers have been brought placed in areas affected by the flooding. Signs posted outside offices and conference rooms in POT attribute the leak to a manufacturing defect. Blanton said it will be several days before the total cost of damage can be assessed. He said ceiling tiles, carpets and

I have asked our custodial staff to continue to do a deep inspection of all lounge furniture in the Student Center buildings, which they have

Blanton said the damage was not insignificant, but “the good thing is that they were able to contain the leaking to three floors” because of swift action taken by contractors. He said UK also has “asked the manufacturer to examine the part in question to determine if there are long-term issues.”

Murdoch-Elvis connection revealed LOS ANGELES — Music journalist Chet Flippo, editorial director for the Country Music Television cable channel and its website, CMT.com, tells a fascinating story in his latest Nashville Skyline column about embattled publishing mogul Rupert Murdoch’s role in the waning days of Elvis Presley’s life. Now that Murdoch and his News Corp. are embroiled in the cellphone hacking scandal that’s rocking the United Kingdom, Flippo revisits the period in the 1970s when the Australian media giant was lobbying to bring his gossip-mongering ways to the U.S. by acquiring two Texas newspapers — the San Antonio News and the San Antonio Express. “He later combined both newspapers as the San Antonio Express-News, but early on, he instructed the News staff to turn the paper into a ‘screamer.’And the paper soon did so. “With a vengeance,” Flippo writes. “The staff began introducing Murdoch’s patented tabloid formula of sensationalism, sex, celebrities, crime and corruption. The facts be damned.” Flippo notes Murdoch’s campaign against the Rolling Stones’ 1975 tour, the staging of which included a giant inflatable phallus, which succeeded in prompting the group to forgo that particular prop when the tour reached San Antonio — the only U.S. tour stop where they abandoned it. “That kind of institutionalized anti-rock company policy,” Flippo writes, “may well have been what led

to the book that may have helped to kill Elvis Presley.” He’s referring to the salacious 1977 book “Elvis: What Happened?” based entirely on stories told by former bodyguards Red and Sonny West and Dave Hebler, who recently had been fired by Presley’s father, Vernon. “Objectively speaking, the book was a true Murdoch hatchet job,” Flippo says. “It laid out all of Elvis’ dirty laundry that you didn’t want — or need — to know ... It became a bestseller, and the profits went to Murdoch’s News Corp., not to the author. It was written by Steve Dunleavy, a hard-drinking, controversial Australian reporter greatly favored by Murdoch ... “For the first time,” Flippo writes, “the book revealed the full extent of Elvis’ complete and total dependence on a long list of prescription drugs. And it was not a pretty story. It was a virtual pharmacopia of drugs and other sundry and tawdry personal details about Elvis. Close Elvis associates have said the book had a devastating effect on Presley.” Flippo adds considerable detail from his own interviews with Dunleavy about his dubious ethical practices while working for Murdoch, which aren’t pretty either. Near the end, Flippo points out a conspicious bit of timing: “The book was published in early August of 1977. Elvis died on the floor of his bathroom in Graceland two weeks later, on Aug. 16, 1977.”

active at night. “They aren’t easily controlled because they reside in cracks and crevices of furniture,” he said. “They can even go unnoticed for extended periods of time until infestations become severe.” The best way to prevent bed bugs is to remain constantly vigilant, and, if suspicious of them, to be proactive
in seeking the advice of a trained professional, Allen said. According to an article written by Potter, a bed bug specialist at UK, bed bugs were a rarity until only recently when they began to make a comeback in the U.S., which is possibly a result of immigration or travel. Herbst said his staff opted
for the most comprehensive removal plan the pest company provides, which is a heating process in affected areas that kills the insect, any eggs or larvae. OPC is returning to complete that process on Friday, which is the earliest they could return. Lounge areas will remain closed until then. Read a longer version of this story at kykernel.com.

Team loyalty involves questioning, enjoying UK athletics program At a university as well-known as Kentucky, students have a duty both in academics and in athletics to act as a representation of all things we wish to be. Our student body doesn’t stand in ticket lines for hours because they just support their teams. They do it because the rush of a CA-T-S chant, or the ANNIE possibility of being a HUGHES part of the eRUPPtion Contributing zone, makes all those nights studying and columnist days listening feel like something a little more exciting than it is. To give yourself over to something wholly unique and feel like a part of the athletics is half the
reason sports aren’t a way of passing the time, but a passionate moment in which you feel close to glory. But that also leaves us with a responsibility. The University of Kentucky Wildcats did not become legendary without trials and tribulations. Through error and correction, those in charge and those in the background watching have helped to foster and grow a program into unimaginable proportions. It is only because fans stood up and demanded the best that the program became the best. So in this moment, right before a new year of athletics begins at UK, I want to remind you that as fans, it is okay to question our program, or to want to understand exactly how it functions. Only through acknowledging what goes into the structure of our program can we truly say that we have ac-
tually invested in it. Sports bring people together. It has been proven time and again by those UK fans crowded into stadiums, around their televisions, and in bars all across the commonwealth — and even across the nation. And after this level of dedication, I believe we have the right to want to know and understand our program better. In this new era of sports, men’s basketball head coach John Calipari and football head coach Joker Phillips have ushered in a level of access to our teams that previously was unprecedented, and this, in many ways, is an opportunity. For the first time in a long time, a UK fan can feel as if he or she is taking part in an experience, not just witnessing it from far away. Take advantage. This is our chance to not only stand behind our team, but to truly be a part of one.

Tennis All-American Quigley sees bright future By Mike Le Jeune sports@kykernel.com
When a college athlete receives an All-American award in his or her respective sport, it is comparable to a member of the film industry winning an Oscar. In other words, it is the gold standard of their craft. If winning one of these prestigious awards is special, then winning three of these awards is remarkable. Winning three AllAmerican awards in his time at the collegiate level is exactly what men’s tennis senior Eric Quigley has done. The accomplishment makes Quigley one of only five men’s tennis players to ever receive three AllAmerican awards in their career at UK. Quigley is from Pewee Valley, Ky., where he attended high school at South Oldham. His tennis-playing days go back to his childhood, where he knew he loved the game from the first time he picked up a racket. “I loved tennis as soon as I started playing,” Quigley said. “I just didn’t know I would end up being where I am now. I could never have imagined this.” Coming out of high school, Quigley was rated the No. 1 recruit in the state of Kentucky and eighth in the country overall. That hype didn’t necessarily entail becoming one of the most successful and accomplished players in UK history after only his third season. “I thought Eric was going to be very good,” men’s tennis head coach Dennis Emery said. “He exceeded my expectations so early.” Quigley received his most recent All-American award in the singles category, after fin-
ishing the season with recordmaking accolades. But he hasn’t let the success go to his head. “Being in that group, it’s a really big honor,” Quigley said. “So many great players have come through this program, and I couldn’t have done it without my coaches, like Dennis Emery and Cedric Kauffmann.” With the help of Emery and Kauffmann, Quigley has been able to improve his shot selection and his serve. Emery said that Quigley has earned himself a spot amongst the greatest players to ever attend UK. “I think he’s right there,” Emery said. “We’ve had four players that have been ranked one or two in the country and he’d be right up there.” Quigley finished the season with 45 wins, tied for most all time at UK. He became the sixth player in Kentucky history to compete in a collegiate tennis grand slam final, and he also won the Ohio Valley Regional singles title. He was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week for the week of April 4-10, and was also named first team AllSoutheastern Conference, making it two consecutive years with All-SEC honors. Quigley was ranked as highly as the No. 2 player in the nation during the year and he never fell below the No. 8ranked player in the country. He also helped lead the men’s team to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships, a No. 8 national ranking in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association final polls and a new school record for wins in a season with 29. “Eric is everything you’re looking for in terms of a college player,” Emery said. “He’s all about team and
works exceptionally hard. He makes everyone around him better.” If Quigley can keep up his pace and finish his career at Kentucky with another AllAmerican level year, he could find himself tied with Jesse Witten for the UK men’s tennis record for All-American awards received in a career with five. He would have to repeat his sophomore campaign efforts which earned him All-American awards in both the doubles and singles categories to achieve the milestone. Witten’s record is the ultimate benchmark for a UK men’s tennis player and, accordingly, Quigley tries to use it as both motivation and a goal. “It’s a really tough goal to reach,” Quigley said. “I try to take it one match and one year at a time.” His coach is confident in Quigley’s abilities. “I think he can reach Witten’s mark,” Emery said. “He can definitely do that.” Quigley is not looking past his senior year, but he does have aspirations for life after college. “I want to try professional tennis after next year,” Quigley said. “It has always been a dream of mine.” On the professional circuit, players like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are household names. With one final year to hone his craft, Quigley knows these are players he could potentially face once he has left the friendly confines of Lexington. “I have a lot of work ahead of me to be on that level,” Quigley said. “If I put in a lot of hard work, I hope to one day be able to play with guys like that in grand slams.”
