New asst. provost comes from D.C. UK Theatre to produce first musical He has experience with foreign relations By Jen Taylor
news@kykernel.com
The new International Affairs assistant provost joins UK with a lot of experience, but says he still has a lot to look forward to. Gary Gaffield, the newly appointed assistant provost, comes from Washington D.C., filling a newly created position in the office. “I am really excited to move to UK,” Gaffield said. “The university has realized
the importance of international relations and research for a long time. The students are interested in study abroad programs, and it is a campus that is fully aware of all that international relations will Gaffield bring.” The former director of international affairs and of external affairs,
David Bettez, retired in May 2010. Gaffield’s position was created after Bettez’ retirement, a UK news release said. Susan Carvalho, the associate provost of International Programs, said she and others in the International Affairs office are the lucky ones. “He comes with a lot of experience and was actively recruited for the position here,” Carvalho said. Some of this experience includes working in Washington D.C. with the Academy for Educational Development, a nongovernment organization related to higher education, for
three years. He also worked for two years as the deputy executive director of the Council for International Exchanges of Scholars and Fulbright Scholar Program. Gaffield first was in contact with Carvalho and others at UK as the director of the Iraq University Linkages Program. This program consists of five U.S. universities and five Iraqi universities, and the American universities help those in Iraq with modernizing curriculum and developing career counseling.

UK’s theater department has a lot on its plate this year with its regular shows and the addition of a musical and winter dance concert. Theatre Department chair Nancy Jones, the chair of the Theatre Department, said the productions this year relate to students “on a personal level.” The Rebels Act Out series is titled for two reasons: the characters are stepping out of the boundaries in each play, but so is the theatre department. The department usually produces four plays each year but recently added a winter dance concert because of the dance minor now available to students. Another difference is the musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” Normally, UK Theatre does not include musicals as main productions; however, this year organizers thought it was something the actors and students needed to experience, Jones said. She said this will be UK Theatre’s first musical. The first play of the Rebels Act Out series, “Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven,” derives from Chinese folk tales, and the script is being written by students. They are using the original stories to help See PLAYS on page 2

A ‘hullaballoon’ of smiles By Becca Clemons bclemons@kykernel.com
A smile can brighten a day. Maybe a balloon can, too. Kappa Delta sorority celebrated International Women’s Friendship Month by handing out balloons with uplifting phrases — like “Smile!” and “Don’t worry, be happy” — written on them as part of the nationwide “You Make Me SMILE” Campaign. Publicity chair Molly Karr said KD
women wrote “cute sayings” on balloons Tuesday afternoon with the goal of boosting women’s confidence around campus. KD member Tamika Tompoulidis wrote “You are beautiful” on a balloon with a Sharpie. “I was a new member in the spring and wanted to get involved,” she said. In partnership with the Confidence Coalition, the women also handed out pens, magnets and stickers. The booth outside White Hall Classroom Building caught men’s attention, too.
“We gave it to one guy and we were like, ‘Be nice to girls!’” Karr said. Secretary Casey Jackson said Panhellenic applied for a national grant from the Confidence Coalition last spring to host a fashion show. It was one of five grants and the only one worth $5,000, Jackson said. The other four were worth $1,000. The sorority also plans to do other partnerships with the coalition with local Girl Scout troops and high school girls on the topic of cyberbullying, Karr and Jackson said.
2 campuses join in support of Georgia man UK, Kentucky State students demonstrate against Troy Davis’ execution By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com

UK and Kentucky State University students said they think Troy Davis, who was convicted of murder in 1989, is innocent. He is set to be executed Wednesday.
Newsroom: 257-1915 Advertising: 257-2872 First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
Two campus chapters of a national association hoped to draw attention to the approaching execution of a man they think was wrongly convicted. Members of UK’s and Kentucky State University’s National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gathered in the free speech area to rally for Troy Davis’ life. “What we’re promoting is that there is too much doubt to execute him,” said Angel Jackson, UK’s NAACP president. Davis’ execution is scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. by injection for killing off-duty Savannah, Ga., officer Mark MacPhail. He was shot dead in 1989 while rushing to help a homeless man being attacked. Georgia’s board of pardons and paroles rejected a clemency bid from Davis on Tuesday. “We’re just bringing awareness to our campus body,” Jackson said. She said there is a discrepency in the justice system and “our belief is this man is innocent.” See DAVIS on page 11

The UK Outdoor Pursuits Program has kicked off the fall semester with new goals and additional offerings. The program consists of two components: the rock wall and adventure trips. Located in the Johnson Center, the rock wall is open to students seven days a week. In addition to daily climbing opportunities, adventure trips are offered throughout the year. Outdoor climbing, hiking and white water rafting are among the offered excursions. The trips go on sale anywhere from two weeks to a month in advance and are open to all UK students, said Mark Lattin, the director of Outdoor Pursuits. Trips range from $10 for hiking to $120 for white water rafting. Equipment rental, travel, tour guides and food expenses for overnight trips are included in the cost. “The idea is to get students on the trip for as low cost as possible,” Lattin said. New to Outdoor Pursuits this year is a rental program, which allows students to rent equipment overnight or for the weekend. Students can rent two- or four-person tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, ground pads, cook sets and stoves at no cost. “The rental program is to provide service and give people the opportunity to try it out,” said Daniel Marshall, a graduate assistant for campus recreation. “We are always looking for ways to help students and get them outside.” Josh Tatum, an art studio sophomore, attended some of the adventure trips during his freshman year. “It was really awesome,” he said. “I had never been outside to climb before.” Tatum said the trips inspired him to further pursue climbing. “They did a really good job of being safe and teaching the right steps to climb,” he said. Lattin said the group’s goal for the 2011-12 school year is to increase student participation. “We want students that are working hard in their academics here at UK to have the opportunity to go try something new that they have not done, and to get a glimpse of what’s available to them, blow off some steam and have fun,” Lattin said. “But at the same time, maybe that will become a hobby or a pursuit they can take with them for life.” For more information about UK Outdoor Pursuits and upcoming events, visit the group’s Facebook page.

devise the script, said Jennifer Goodlander, professor and director of “Monkey King.” “I love getting a bunch of smart and creative people in a room to see what they come up with,” Goodlander said. The theater department’s costume technologist, Robert Haven, takes costume construction from the classroom to the stage. Students in Haven’s class are assigned to one actor for “Monkey King” and are required to make the shirt and pants for the production. Haven said it isn’t just a class project. “A lot of people don’t understand how the costumes make it to the stage,” he said. Tony Hardin, a set and lighting professor, is doing the lighting for “Monkey King” and said a challenge of this particular production is that no set script exists. “We are just letting it (the creative process) happen in rehearsal and adjusting accordingly,” Hardin said. He said students should attend performances to see “how exciting live theat er can be.” “It makes you think and it makes you want to see more,” he said. The musical will premiere in the spring.
Gaffield’s job was to oversee this partnership; he visited Iraq four times, and he even rode on helicopters with a bombproof vest strapped to him. “Having been to Iraq, Gary was helpful in illuminating the goals of the Iraq Linkages project by providing a richer understanding of the background of our partners and the context in which they teach,” said Nancy Johnson, one of the UK faculty helping with the Iraq program. George Blandford, a civil engineering professor, met Gaffield in Iraq. Blandford said he met with Gaffield when he visted UK last spring to observe the Iraqi delegation. “Gary is a dedicated person,” Blandford said in an email to the Kernel. “He is a very personable person and spent a great deal of time and effort getting to know the expectations of the project and the culture of the people we are trying to help.” Gaffield also has experience working at a

‘Dolphin Tale’ not just for kids Problem: The roaring success of last week’s “Lion King” 3-D re-release underscored the scarcity of family-friendly films in the current marketplace. Solution: “Dolphin Tale,” a swell yarn about a boy and his bond with an injured bottlenose. Sometimes inspirational films have no craftsmanship to accompany their uplift. Not so here. Children don’t have to apologize for taking their parents to this one. The cast is delightful, the story corny without being cloyingly high-fructose, the direction first-rate. Its awkward, immature stumbles are few and even those are redeemed by the project’s sunny sincerity. “Dolphin Tale” is inspired by the real-life story of Winter, a South Florida dolphin who lost her tail to a crab trap. Sawyer (winningly played by wide-eyed Nathan Gamble) comforts the beached cetacean until the marine animal rescue unit can arrive, creating a powerful bond of affection that runs both ways. The lonely middle-schooler begins cutting class to visit the aquarium where the handicapped dolphin is brought to recover. His mother (Ashley Judd) is incensed until she realizes that Sawyer’s attachment to Winter has turned her failing student into a responsible, hardworking and studious young would-be marine biologist. Winter’s recuperation is fraught with setbacks, but with the aid of a cantankerous prosthetics specialist (Morgan

Freeman), Sawyer learns never to lose faith. The film has a warm web of human relationships, as well, with Cozi Zuehlsdorff as the aquarium’s resident preteen chatterbox, Harry Connick Jr. as her father, the kindly but cash-strapped aquarium chief, and Kris Kristofferson as Connick’s old-salt dad, who is always good for straight talk and a crinkly smile. Charles Martin Smith, a longtime actor who starred in the outdoors classic “Never Cry Wolf,” directs this film with a sure and steady hand. The sun-kissed Florida locations are attractive without being prettified. When the boy and his aquatic friend are threatened by a hurricane and the aquarium’s financial woes, Smith milks the suspense but doesn’t inflict undue anxiety. The film takes a sentimental turn concerning Sawyer’s cousin, a swimming star injured in combat, but never slides into sanctimony or schmaltz. Well, not too deeply, anyway. Freeman is a droll delight as the crotchety reconstructive engineer who tirelessly works on a mechanical tail for Winter, complaining all the way. Playing herself, Winter is a breakthrough star. For those who loathe saccharine kiddie movies but can still shed an honest tear at the story of a child and a beloved pet, “Dolphin Tale” is a perfect fit.

Local developer Students sound off on diversity after hosts party Monday night’s Final Word lecture say Jackson helped them for new game They recognize issues on campus By Zach Walton zwalton@kykernel.com
Lexington native developer Frogdice has a new game and wants everybody to play it. Frogdice is hosting a launch party for the new game, “Coin ‘n Carry,” Thursday at local eatery Village Host Pizza. Lexington is known for many things, but game development is not one of them. Frogdice has been in the community for many years but has never really come out into the public eye until now, according to company founders. “We never really did much locally because of how specialized our first two games were,” said Frogdice President and CEO Michael Hartman in an email to the Kernel. “But ‘Coin ‘n Carry’ is something anyone can play, so we are finally poking our head out.” The launch party is intended to let the people of Lexington know they have a game developer around and to shine a spotlight on the game development community in Lexington. “We want to let people know about ‘Coin ‘n Carry,’ and we also want people to start learning about Frogdice,” Hartman said. “We are a 15-year-old gaming company, which in our industry makes us ancient. We also hope to get the word out that there is indeed a growing game development community in Lexington.” Students interested in the launch party have a lot to look forward to in terms of prizes and activities. “We’ve got some
Frogdice and ‘Coin ‘n Carry’ swag, in-game prizes, cake and Village Host is giving everyone at our party 25 percent off food and drinks,” Hartman said. “We will have computers on site where people can demo the game, make an account … all of our games are free to play, so getting started is totally no pressure.” While Frogdice’s previous games were niche, textbased role-playing games, Hartman wants to hit home that the new game is for everybody and it appeals to a large, diverse audience. “We designed ‘Coin ‘n Carry’ with the specific goal in mind that it would be fun, approachable and enjoyable by people of any age and any play style,” Hartman said. “In our main group of about 150 beta testers, we had people ranging in age from five years old to 60-plus, and about 60 percent of our players were women.” Aside from the food and fun be offered at the party, there’s the potential for aspiring programmers and artists at UK to network with people already in the industry for a job in game development, Hartman said. “If anyone would like to learn how to get into the gaming industry, and perhaps start the process of finding a job in the industry, coming to this launch party would be a good start,” he said. The “Coin ‘n Carry” launch party will be Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Village Host Pizza on Old Vine Street. All food and drink will be 25 percent off in celebration of the game’s launch.

Judy “JJ” Jackson, the vice president for institutional diversity, discussed diversity at UK for the Final Word Series hosted by the Student Activities Board Monday night. The preface for this discussion revolves around modifications in the undergraduate studies curriculum put into effect this semester. These critical changes hone in on giving students a bet-
ter understanding and appreciation of cultures from all over the world and subcultures within our society, Jackson said. “Talking about diversity is one of my favorite things to do,” she said. “It opens doors to communication and understanding people better.” The discussion focused on diversity issues, primarily race, that the American population comes in contact with every day. Conversations about race and diversi-
ty can be uncomfortable and controversial, Jackson said, but having these discussions is a critical step toward progress and understanding. Maria Gomez, a graduate student and native of Peru, said that Jackson exposed many of the challenges that UK faces in terms of diversity. “I think that it is very important to know more about diversity on campus because it will open more doors to share different points of view, because I think that diversity is not well disseminated on campus,” Gomez said. “The issue with diversity is that it is a learning process that de-
velops over time.” Over the course of the discussion, Jackson exposed the audience to some of the cultural biases that are prevalent in American society. She discussed the invalidity of statements such as “I don’t see your color,” saying that it is important for people to see each other for their differences and to be able to appreciate them. “I never realized how limited this campus is on diversity,” said Eric Davenport, a sophomore at UK. “So taking that small percentage of people that we have and finding a way to respect them, and their values, is very important.”

Breaking bad: 3 areas of improvement in week 4 CODY PORTER Kernel columnist
Heading into week four against the Florida Gators, UK football has solved a lot of problems that have plagued the team over the past few weeks. For starters, Morgan Newton was able to find another target aside from junior wide receiver La’Rod King in fellow junior E.J. Fields. Not only did Fields step up for the Cats, but the amount of drops by the receiving corps was limited against Louisville. More importantly, the fan base represented the Cats well in Lexington Saturday, but it was hard for fans to be excited when the team wasn’t presenting them with a performance worthy of excitement. Unfortunately for head coach Joker Phillips, his team has found itself struggling in areas that were supposed to be part of its strengths. Here are a few reasons why Big Blue Nation wasn’t in typical form and some things that should be improved as the Gators are knocking at the door.
1. Offensive Line When asked during Sunday’s teleconference about how his offensive line was holding up, Joker Phillips had the following to say: “Well, I’m not concerned. I’m concerned about our overall offense.” Unlike Phillips, I believe he should be concerned — emphasis on should. The offensive line played terribly on Saturday. The offense could find little rhythm with Morgan Newton having to scram-
ble about the field as if the boogeyman was chasing him. By night’s end, Newton was sacked six times. Newton attempted a career-high 41 passes as well, mainly due to the running game getting the team nowhere and the lack of space created by the offensive line. The trio of CoShik Williams, Josh Clemons and Morgan Newton had a total of 32 rush attempts that only managed 35 yards, an average of 1.1 yards per carry. With the Gators coming in, the speed and strength of the defense will be one unparalleled to any of the Cats’ previous opponents, meaning things could get ugly in Commonwealth unless this expected strength “rises” to the occasion.
2. Pass Coverage One aspect of UK’s recent performances that I find myself agreeing with Phillips on is pass coverage, mainly by the defensive backs. “The thing we can't do is we can't allow the people to throw the ball over our heads. That’s happened in a couple games,” Phillips said. When Florida gets to Commonwealth for the game against the Cats, it will be bringing a pro-style offense implemented by offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. Past seasons has saw a spread offense consisting of mainly runs due to the speed of the Gators. Problem is, John Brantley came in as a highly touted passer and thus far head coach Will Muschamp, along with Weis, has him living up to his ability. Matched with the speed of his receivers and running backs, Brantley’s targets make him one of Florida’s biggest passing threats since former Heisman trophy win-
ner Danny Wuerffel under Steve Spurrier. If teams like Western Kentucky, Central Michigan and Louisville found themselves being able to outman the Cats’ pass coverage and get behind them downfield, then there is no reason to think that Brantley wouldn’t be able to torch UK in the passing game as well. Senior Randall Burden has played well early in this season, but it is his teammate, senior cornerback Anthony Mosley, who has found himself being picked on by the opposing team’s quarterback and receivers. “They got the type of speed that can hurt you,” Phillips said during the teleconference. “They have probably the fastest guy in the world. They got probably the second fastest guy in the world.“ One thing is sure, the whole group, along with fellow cornerback Martavious Neloms, will have its hands full with the likes of Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey. It was the latter which had a 100-yard rushing and receiving game against Tennessee last week.
3. Play-calling Ever since the final whistle blew on Saturday night, buzz has circulated within the fanbase concerning the play calling of UK and how predictable it has been. Although the offensive line did the team no favors, I must say I agree; it is predictable and it didn’t help the Cats that Charlie Strong was previously the defensive coordinator at Florida where he has already witnessed this same song and dance. Draw, Draw, Short Pass… Rinse and repeat that

Junior receiver E.J. Fields caught a touchdown in Saturday’s game against Louisville. UK lost 24-17. process while adding in a little Morgan Newton chase scene. In addition, there were even some runs on third and long which resulted in obvious stops and brought the best of boos from the crowd. After the game, Phillips’ reasoning was that it wasn’t worth the risk of attempting to pass deep downfield and that in the past it had worked. Phillips understands that something must change with
the offensive play calling, or at least it seems that way. This coming Saturday should be an answer, though. “We've got to throw the ball first down. We've got to mix it up,” Phillips said. In sharing my feelings, he went on to add: “We can't be predictable.” One answer to not being predictable could come in the form of speeding up the offense, or “two-minute mode,” as Phillips put it on Sunday,
which appeared to be rather successful in the late stages of the game when the Cats were attempting their comeback on the Cards. Attempting the no-huddle against a defensively savvy team such as Florida could bring its lumps, but with experience, its longterm effects on the Cats as the season pushes on should help bring an element of surprise and excitement to the offense.

The Cuban Duet comprised of Yoisel Concepcion and Legna Tocado have composed hundreds of songs and play popular Cuban folk music. They will be in Wednesday’s lineup. countries, yet we speak the same language.” After Claudia accepted to perform for Hispanic Heritage Month, the project grew like a wildfire. “If Claudia was gonna come all the way here, why don’t we put a concert together with all the Latin American musicians we know?” Leal said. The ensemble expanded to include music students, UK faculty and other visiting performers. “It’s using all the resources UK has,” Chassen-Lopez said. “The variety of Latin American people in the community.” Although Spanish unites the group, Leal says there are still deviances in the language. “In every single song, the text is different because it has its own local dialect and inflection,” Leal said. “I don’t even know what some songs mean, they are so local.” Some of the confusion is intentional. A Cuban song featured in the lineup was written to evade censorship and communicate “what they
legally cannot,” Leal said. Culture, dialects and politics draw divisions within Latin America itself. The variety in music from the region illustrates the distinctions. “The music represents the collectivity of identities that have been lost due to politics or cultural unawareness,” Leal said. “There are differences and similarities, and we’re bringing different rhythms, voices and arrangements to show this.” The ensemble will finish with “Cancion con Todos” or “Song with Everyone,” an Argentine folk song made popular by indigenous folk icon Mercedes Sosa. The lyrics carry a Pan-American message in a narrative walk through Latin America. Lyrics traverse through Peru, Chile, Boliva and Brazil. The song ends the journey finding common ground in the voices, the hands and the blood of Latin American brothers and sisters. Leal compared to the scene to a familial tradition of singing around a guitar late into the night. “We’ve recreated what we have in our living rooms,” Leal said.
China, a country with a long history of civilization and rich culture, and more recently the fastest economic growth rate, becomes the hottest topic at UK this year. Students’ growing interests in learning about China’s history, language and art is the main reason why the College of Arts & Sciences chose to hold the “Year of China” program. “Year of China” is bringing China to Kentucky and allowing UK students to get a closer look at China through films, art exhibitions and lectures by famous professors, said Keiko Tanaka, director of the Asia Center and a sociology professor at UK. To launch the year’s events, which will include a film series, a lecture series, art exhibits and a play presented by the UK theatre department, “Year of China Open House” will take place Wednesday. Students can enjoy food from UK Catering Chef Scott Kohn, as well as get free Tshirts and information about Year of China, Chinese culture and study abroad, Tanaka said. The film series will include movies, “Yellow Earth” (Oct. 18), “Morning Sun” (Oct. 25), “2 Million Minutes” (Nov. 1), “Last Train Home” (Nov. 8) and “Beijing or Bust” (Nov. 15), all starting at 5 p.m. and showing in White Hall Classroom BuildSee CHINA on page 11

Campus groups unite against coal Gone in 60 seconds: Death penalty obsolete JOY PRIEST Kernel columnist
Wednesday at 7 p.m. guards will strap Troy Davis to a chair at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, Ga., before inserting the IVs into his veins that will deliver his execution. Dead in 60 seconds. Why should anyone care? Forty-six people were executed in the U.S. last year alone — one by a firing squad in Utah and 45 others most Americans probably did not hear about. Well, 650,000 people across the world care, and they have signed a petition begging for the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant clemency. (On Monday night, the Board chose to uphold Davis’ death sentence.) Among those 650,000 protesters are former President Jimmy Carter, Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pope Benedict XVI and former FBI director and judge William Sessions, among other prominent leaders and politicians, who all feel there is not sufficient evidence to prove Davis committed the murder, more or less to kill him. Seven of nine original witnesses have retracted their eyewitness testimonies — which originally stated they saw Davis shoot the Officer Mark MacPhail, who he is convicted of killing — claiming police coercion. But the details of the case are not the issue. The issue is this: Execution, capital punishment, the death penalty or whatever other politically correct name you want to give the murder of a human being, is obsolete. Or at least you would think so in America, one of three industrialized nations that still have it, where we are “innocent until PROVEN guilty.” There have been numerous wrongful executions in the U.S. I implore you to go look at the numbers. Devel-
opments in evidence in the past two decades have resulted in the release of 15 prisoners from death row, and 85 have been released for wrongful conviction nationally, Kate Randall reported in her Feb. 11, 2000, article, “U.S. executions continue at record pace despite revelations of wrongful convictions.” But what about the cases in which DNA evidence is not available? In a land where we supposedly are promised “life,” liberty and the pursuit of happiness, a citizen’s “right to a fair trial” never happens in court. It didn’t happen for Casey Anthony, it didn’t happen for George Jackson and it didn’t happen for Troy Davis. Trials in America are held in the media — we listen to them on our Sirius satellite in our luxury cars or in front of our HD big screen on our comfy sectional in our protective homes. We convict our fellow citizens with words and emotions, in our minds and on TV talk shows before they ever go before a judge in the court of law. We do the job of the jury before they have a chance, and then ostracize them when they make a constitutional opinion. Davis is an example of a poor citizen v. a perfect citizen. A poor, black man with a G.E.D. and a factory workers’ resume was convicted for the murder of the son of an army colonel, a white, well-off policeman, with a wife and a toddler and an infant. A worthless person with no purpose in society killed an upstanding American in the line of duty, or so those last two witnesses left standing by their testimony say. Troy Davis will die without any of us ever knowing if he really killed MacPhail, and with all of us having already executed him in the media and in our minds. Hopefully his memory will last longer than the 60 seconds it will take for socalled justice. Joy Priest is a journalism senior and the Kernel’s features editor. Email jpriest@kykernel.com.
Fantasy football ‘makes me sick’ Ok, I have to get this off my chest — I hate fantasy football. There, I said it. The biggest football fan you’ll ever come to know hates fantasy football, always has, always will. For those who don’t ETHAN know, fantaLEVINE sy football is Kernel an online columnist game where sports dorks like myself draft real NFL players, field a team of them and then get points for their team based on their players’ statistics in real games. Originally, it began as a fun way for friends to compete against each other and test their knowledge of the NFL. But lately, it has become so much more than that. The monster that fantasy football has become now consumes the lives of helpless fans, luring them into its grasp and then swallowing them into a black hole of statistical obsession, destroying competition on the field and
instead moving it to the Internet. The NFL is not about statistics; it’s not about individual players and their statistics. The NFL is about teams constructed of incredible athletes, competing in the most difficult team sport America has to offer. It’s about the diehard fan and their allegiance to one city, one team, one logo. But somewhere along the way, we as football fans forgot all of that. It makes me sick to see “real” NFL fans rooting not for a team, but for an outcome. If I see one more Bengals fan rooting for a player on the opposing team just to help pad their fantasy team’s point total, I may lose my mind. The NFL is not about counting yards, it’s about counting points, counting victories and most importantly, counting championships. Thanks to fantasy football, I’ve seen things that no man should ever have to see. I’ve seen fans root for players on opposing teams in the same game. No matter who has the ball, this clown doesn’t care because he’s rooting both ways. Really? I’ve seen fans of a team down by 30 points
Recently a campus trend toward sustainability swept coolly through the early semester air. Several different groups are focusing on issues surrounding energy use, community and personal sustainability, and social justice. Whether or not JARED those groups will FLANERY coalesce into a Contributing major force on campus remains to columnist be seen. But what these groups have demonstrated is a commitment to their principles and a proclivity for events. The Greenthumb Environmental Club recently invited Dave Cooper of Mountain Justice to
campus and had him sort through the subtleties and stark images of mountaintop removal coal mining. But if blasting off the tops of mountains wasn’t your thing, Greenthumb also hosted a pioneering platform last week in which 13 clubs participated. Finally, the Office of Sustainability organized a poster conference titled “Big Blue Goes Green 2011.” Now, as UK promotes its “Make an Impact!” week (its name was changed away from Colin Beavan’s “No Impact” title to this safer slogan), we need to talk about what the phrase means. “Make an Impact!” is literally opposed to No Impact. That’s not to suggest any hidden intent for the UK administration that thankfully organized this experience. Still, UK Kentuckians for the Commonwealth is adding its voice
to the forceful fray. This Wednesday, the 21st, UK KFTC is screening Deep Down, a documentary film about people who live in Eastern Kentucky. This short film will be shown at 6 p.m. in the Worsham Theater. And as part of the discussion on coal in general, UK KFTC is also screening “Dirty Business” on Friday at the same time. This film offers a more detailed analysis of “clean” coal. This film will also be shown in the Worsham Theater. I think the entire campus community should eagerly seek out the next vocal contribution to the democratic culture of campus activism.

And it all makes me sick. I’m not saying fantasy football should be abolished. When used responsibly, it can be a fun way to engage with the NFL in the middle of the week when Sunday seems so far away. But to those fans who prioritize fantasy football over real football, I beg you to get your act together, not just for me but for yourself. I promise, you’ll thank me later.

UK Athletics needs greater efficiency, contribution The ongoing rift between the UK athletics and the university’s general fund is nothing new. In 1987, UK athletics began giving back $1.25 million a year to the general fund. At that time, the athletics department had an annual budget of $13.8 million. Today, UK’s athletic budget hovers around $74 million. Its annual donation BRIAN has increased to only HANCOCK $1.75 million, according to an April 21 arKernel ticle by the Kernel. columnist With student tuition increasing this past year, and several student classroom buildings in need of major renovations, this increase seems to be a tad modest in my humble opinion. If not back to the university’s general fund, then where does all this money go? Coaches take up a good portion, as $1.7 million goes to Joker Phillips. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported on Sept. 9 that UK football season ticket sales were down about 6 percent this year. “We've got to give (the fans) something to get excited about and we’ve got to find those moments that create excitement for our program,” UK athletic director Mitch Barnhart said at the time. After the last game against Louisville, I don’t see how that’s possible. Joker reminded us that we are
only three games into the season. “We’ve been here before, battled our way out of it. We’ll continue to battle our way out of this. We’re 2-1. We’re not 0-3,” he said on Monday. As a casual fan, though, I rest assured that I’m not the only one who’s worried. But our record is beside the point. The real issue is the empty bleachers. Blame it on the economy, blame it on anything you like, but I’m guessing our lackluster offense contributes to a good majority of it. UK athletics is very beneficial for the University of Kentucky. Unlike most collegiate athletic programs, it is self-funded. It’s also probably one of our biggest recruiters, as many potential students put UK on their radars because of its sports. Nevertheless, we need to consider the specifics. There is inefficiency within UK athletics. It doesn’t make sense to pay someone $1.7 million when the result is decreased ticket sales. Does this type of ‘over-the-top’ pay extend to other UK sports programs? It must go somewhere if athletics is bringing in approximately $72.25 million per year. I enjoy UK sports just as much as the next person, and I realize the positive effects it has on our university. But with classroom buildings aging, student tuition rising and a decrease in state funding, this student believes that UK athletics should be more efficient and consequently contribute more money to the university’s general fund.

Women’s tennis team optimistic for year Still some work to be done after first tournaments By Matt Levine sports@kykernel.com
The UK women’s tennis team took its first steps of the season last weekend in two tournaments in Lawrence, Kan., and Dublin, Ohio. The team split up with six players participating in the Kansas tournament and three in the Ohio. UK head coach Carlos Drada said he was impressed with his squad but admits there is room for improvement. “There are some things we are doing really well, and I think it is a matter of patience and time as a team to capitalize on them,” Drada said. Sophomores Khristina Blajkevitch and Cece Witten made a splash at the Kansas tournament, finishing fifth. Junior Jessica Stiles and sophomore Caitlin McGraw triumphed in their first round matchup in the Ohio tournament but fell to a doubles team from the University of Akron, 8-5, in the second round. Stiles, the oldest player on the team, agreeed with Drada that the team needs to improve but is content with the first round wins. “There are still some things we need to work on, but to get first round wins was definitely a positive thing,” Stiles said. The women have one of their youngest teams ever — Stiles is the only junior — while the rest of the squad consists of sophomores and freshmen. Although the team does not possess a definite captain, Drada said Stiles is the closest thing to a captain. “It is such a big team and there are
girls who exhibit strengths on the team, but the person closest to the captain’s role is our upperclassman, Jessica Stiles,” Drada said. “She is in charge of communicating with the coaches and the players.” Based on the tournaments, Stiles believes that the team needs the most improvement on the mental aspect of the game. “The things we need to work on are our attitude on the court, try and be more confident in ourselves, and be more positive out there,” Stiles said. Drada agreeed and said that the team will do everything it needs to do to progress in its mental game. “We just have to get more disciplined when it comes to pressure and how to deal with pressure situations,” Drada said. “We are just going to work really hard to get where we need to be.” Although it is tough to not find immediate success, Stiles said she is glad that the team has identified what it needs to work on so early in the season. “We have a clear picture on what we need to improve upon and I think that is really good to know at the beginning of the year because we will be able to work towards those goals and support each other to get there,” Stiles said. Drada said he has high expectations for the season as long as the team heeds advice from him and his assistant coaches. “I really think we can do well if the young players decide to pay attention to the principles that we try to teach them and actually implement them,” Drada said. “Once we do that, we have enough firepower to do really well.”

The UK men’s tennis team took advantage of its opportunities to better both itself and its ranking over the weekend, participating in two invitational tournaments. The Olympia Fields Invitational in Chicago saw senior Alex Musialek, ranked 20th in the nation, defeat a ranked singles player en route to a 3-1 record. Sophomore Tom Jomby also posted a 3-1 record, and Alejandro Gomez 4-0. Coach Dennis Emery was happy with the results of the Chicago tournament. “Our singles, I thought, were especially impressive in Chicago,” Emery said. Several of the team’s members also
participated in a tournament hosted in Chapel Hill, N.C. The tournament, dubbed the Duke Fab Four Invitational, saw junior Anthony Rossi defeat the fourth-ranked player nationally in a singles match. Sophomores Panav Jha, Grant Roberts and Maks Gold also participated in the invitational. Overall, Emery looks forward to a competitive fall. “We’re getting deeper at the top and when you’re coaching, that’s definitely something you want to see,” he said. “This fall season is one of the most important I think we’ve ever had.” The men’s team heads to the Southern Collegiates tournament this weekend in Georgia to compete on the field that will host the NCAA’s later in the year.
stand up against injustice,” Thompson said. “We’re living in a modern day but we’re living with old-age laws.” She wants to make students aware of what is going on and has been tweeting about the issue all week. “Our social justice system is flawed,” Jackson said. “Any one of us can be Troy Davis. Any one of us could be at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

You’re at the takeout or Starbucks hankering for a tasty snack. That double chocolate brownie sure looks good (410 calories; 24 grams of fat), but you know you should chose the apple (52 calories, 0.4 grams of fat). Here’s a suggestion: Make a fist before picking your dessert. The simple act of tightening a muscle — in your hand, your calf, whatever — can help you make the healthier choice. “Firm muscles can firm willpower and ... increase self-control.... Put simply, steely muscles can lead to a
steely resolve,” says a study recently published in the Journal of Consumer Research. “It’s actually quite easy,” one of the study’s authors told me. It works because “the mind/body association is so strong,” said Aparna Labroo, associate professor of marketing at the University of Chicago. She said her study was the first to show that the body, not just the mind, can influence self-control. Like all easy solutions to temptation, this one has a caveat: It only works for people “who are predisposed to following long-term goals” said Labroo, like “engaging in healthy behaviors.” For those people, tightening a muscle — even sucking
in their stomach — “might actually help them hold on to self-control and chose the thing that is less highly indulgent,” Labroo said. For “indulgence-oriented people who presumably did not wish to summon willpower,” the muscle clench won’t work, the study said. So when to make the fist? At the moment of choice, when you’re deciding between the brownie and the apple. And, sadly, it’s not foolproof. “It’s not a magic pill. It’s not going to be 100 percent successful,” Labroo said. If you stock your kitchen with brownies, you’re asking for trouble. “If the food is constantly in front of you, you will probably give in eventually,” she said.
