Blue state Cal says UK is Kentucky’s team By Aaron Smith
$1,000 scholarships won at college day

By Lauren Conrad news@kykernel.com
College students from around the commonwealth lined up Friday at Keeneland’s North Terrace. Dressed in their Keeneland best, they signed up for a chance to win scholarships sponsored by Keeneland and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association. Twenty $1,000 scholarships were given, in addition to prizes from Vineyard Vines, Breeder’s Cup, Orange Leaf, Kennedy’s Bookstore, Campus Quilts, Raising Cane’s, Barney Miller’s, Fusion Tanning Studio and Victoria’s Secret. The first 1,000 students who signed up received a free longsleeve College Scholarship Day Tshirt. Students mingled in the North Terrace and listened to live music by Elliot Collett & The Articles, munched on free nachos from Qdoba and quenched their thirst with Vitamin Water and Honest Tea beverages. Compared to other College Scholarship days, “it’s been pretty great,” said LaBradford Rollins, a communication senior. “I mean the food’s good — the nachos. And the T-shirts are a lot better this year I think.” All winners were announced on Keeneland’s loudspeaker after each race and were also called or sent a text message to let them know they won. “It’s a beautiful day to have college day because it’s so pretty outside. I’m excited,” said Elizabeth See KEENELAND on page 2

Madness dancers bring own magic to the court

UK junior Jacob Miles attended Keeneland’s College Scholarship Day, where 20 students won $1,000.
It’s hard to follow the nationwide phenomenon that was the John Wall Dance. Two years later, players are trying to top it during Big Blue Madness. Who knows, maybe the two dances seen this year will make their national debut on SAM “Cougar ROTHBAUER Town,” too. Big Blue Kernel fans were ancolumnist ticipating dances from a few players including Doron Lamb and Jarrod Polson, but no one expected the “Cat Daddy”
It’s safe to say the dances were a hit this year. The question is, will they beat the John Wall dance? from Kyle Wiltjer. Wiltjer brought his own white boy magic to the “Cat Daddy,” and the dance was alltoo-fitting for Cats fans. It’s not original, but who’s to say it won’t blow up soon? He established his old school style when he came out to DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat.” He didn’t bring out his hook shot
during Big Blue Madness, but, ahem, let me clear my throat — his teammates say it’s guaranteed two points. During a Media Day interview, freshman Marquis Teague said, “He (Wiltjer) hits it every single time. I’ve only seen him get blocked one time. Ant (Anthony Davis) blocked it, cause he See DANCE on page 2
John Calipari reflected on his two years before ushering in the new season in his “State of the Cats” address at Big Blue Madness. Calipari put on a pitch that seemed as if he was talking directly to the recruits in attendance and promoted the program. “What an incredible night to celebrate the things that make our program,” Calipari said. “That make the commonwealth’s team the best program in the country.” Calipari’s address was reminiscent of his speech from his first season with UK, the one that ushered in a new “players-first” era. “Two years ago, we had five players drafted in first round,” Calipari said. “Never been done before. And it may never be done again. Unless we do it here, of course.” Some of those five first-round draft picks, as well as some others, were in attendance and were introduced in front of the crowd. DeMarcus Cousins, Josh Harrellson, Brandon Knight, DeAndre Liggins, Jodie Meeks, Nazr Mohammed, Tayshaun Prince, Rajon Rondo and John Wall all walked onto the stage, and after the event concluded, mingled with the current players. Also in attendance were some top recruits, and Calipari talked about bringing in not only players with top talent, but also high character. “This program isn’t for everyone,” Calipari said. “Being a Kentucky player isn’t easy. You’re held to a higher standard, both on and off the court. We choose student athletes who breathe their dream.” Speaking in front of a backdrop with the words “Kentucky Effect” projected on it, Calipari talked about what it meant. “That is the Kentucky Effect,” Calipari said. “Pushing and promoting our players. Pushing us to reach their dreams. They will in turn help us to create memories; help win banners that we all yearn for.” UK unfurled one of those banners following Calipari’s speech, as the 2011 Final Four banner was dropped to join 13 others in Rupp Arena. Calipari said it was a “symbol of what we’ve accomplished,” and wants to bring another one back next year. “Tonight I challenge this team, and Big Blue Nation, with this: What’s next?” Calipari said. “Tonight we begin to write the next chapter. Tonight we feel the Kentucky Effect in full force as we once again redefine college basketball … We do more than move beyond the needle, we are the needle. We are UK.”
Capilouto to be officially inaugurated as 12th president Those before him spoke of change, their ideas for UK improvements By Kaitlynn Douglass news@kykernel.com
In the past 150 years there have been 11 presidents at UK. On Tuesday, Dr. Eli Capilouto will officially be introduced as UK’s 12th president. The investiture ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. at Singletary Center for the Arts. It is a time for the new president to reveal his ideas for UK and how they will affect the community.
“They bring their personalities and their ambitions,” said Terry Birdwhistell, dean of UK libraries. Students and faculty throughout the administra-

Capilouto said in a news release. The first president at UK was James K. Patterson. He never really had a true investiture. He started at a time when the university was fighting for survival. “When I look back at these transitions from the time that President Patterson began and looking at each transition when these people spoke publicly, they spoke about change,” Birdwhistell said.

UK Orchestra horses around with the Boston Pops Concert celebrates Keeneland’s 75th anniversary By Luke Glaser lglaser@kykernel.com
Rupp Arena was packed Saturday night, but instead of blue, it was a black-tie affair, and instead of basketball, the show belonged to music. “The Boston Pops” — the citywide orchestra for Boston — came into town to play tribute to Keeneland’s 75th anniversary. “I’ve always wanted to see the Boston Pops perform,” said international studies junior Beau Downey, who received tickets for his birthday. Psychology senior Stephanie Cutler is familiar
with the history of the legendary orchestra. “My mom saw the Boston Pops when she was a teenager,” she said. “She told me about it, so I couldn’t wait to come.” As a tribute to Keeneland, much of the music revolved around horses. “There will be music of the horse, music of Kentucky and good old fashioned Pops,” said John Nardolillo, conductor of the UK Symphony Orchestra. This concert marked the first time that the Pops have played with a university orchestra, and Keeneland president Nick Nicholson thought the match was more

Georgetown U offers Jay-Z course LOS ANGELES — Professor, author and radio host Michael Eric Dyson has long been an ardent proponent of hip-hop, and now he’s teaching a course on one of the genre’s biggest purveyors: Jay-Z. The course, “Sociology of Hip-Hop: JayZ,” is a three-credit, twice-weekly lecture in session at Georgetown University, where Dyson has been a professor since 2007. “I’d written a book on Nas, one rhetorical genius, and I wanted to focus on another,” Dyson said. “I wanted my students to understand that when you’re dealing with an artist like Jay-Z you’re dealing with a genius — a crafter of words, an all-time literary great. (Jay) gives us such powerful poetic passion. I wanted my students to understand that.” This isn’t the first time Dyson has brought out the academia of a rapper. He previously offered a course on Tupac at the University of Pennsylvania and penned an ac-

Picking Jay-Z as his next focus was easy, he said. “He’s a guy from the Marcy Projects that’s now worth half a billion dollars, married to arguably the best entertainer out there behind Michael Jackson. I wanted to probe all of these dimensions of Jay-Z as one of the most gifted and talented musicians of our time,” Dyson said. Students are required to read Jay’s book “Decoded,” Adam Bradley’s “Book of Rhymes” and Zack O’Malley Greenburg’s “Empire State of Mind.” Dyson also has students examine his lyrics, and they watch “Fade to Black,” his 2004 concert documentary. Dyson’s course attracted 140 students, nearly four times the size of an average course at Georgetown, he said. He hopes to tackle Nas, Lauryn Hill and the Roots for future courses.

equestrian pictures played in the background, and UK graduate and NBC sportscaster Tom Hammond narrated the tribute to one of man’s most cherished animal companions. The evening wasn’t entirely devoted to horses, however, as the Pops played some crowd favorites such as Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “I thought it was amazing ... both orchestras,” Cutler said. “It was absolutely fantastic, better than I expected,” Downey said. Both students said their favorite song was the Pops’ jazzy rendition of “42nd Street” from the popular 1980 Broadway production. The evening benefited
the newly named Lee T. Todd Jr. and Patricia B. Todd Music Outreach Endowment. The funds from the event allow the orchestra to travel around the state and play classical music for Kentucky’s underprivileged children. Todd was in attendance, as well as current UK President Eli Capilouto. UK and Lexington choirs also participated with an accompaniment to “Shenandoah,” and the fun chorus of “Bohemian Rhapsody” (head bobs included). “We very rarely get to work with a choir of this quality,” said Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops, “or this magnitude.” UK’s orchestra and Boston Pops came onstage

Students from UK and Georgetown were present, as were some from Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Centre, Eastern Kentucky University, Northern Kentucky University and Virginia Tech. A total of 1,520 students signed up for scholarships this year. Thirteen UK students won $1,000 scholarships. While some students were newcomers soaking in the experience of College Scholarship Day, others were seasoned veterans. “It’s a different crowd this year, which is a good thing,” said Nick Laux, a sports business senior from Northern Kentucky University. “A lot more kids have shown up.

Of course, the evening wasn’t complete without a couple of UK favorites, so the Boston Pops and UK combined to play the UK fight song, as well as “My Old Kentucky Home.” It began to feel more like a sports event in Rupp Arena as the audience stood and clapped and sang along. “Now this is an orchestra,” Lockhart said. “This is about as much fun as a conductor can have.”
doesn’t like horse racing? It’s a tradition down here.” Students weren’t the only ones excited about Keeneland on Friday. In honor of its 75th anniversary, Keeneland and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association doubled the number of $1,000 scholarships given out and had more prizes from College Scholarship Day sponsors than in past years. Doubling the number of scholarships “is really exciting for us,” said Kara Heissenbuttel, marketing and special events coordinator for Keeneland. “We’re able to help a lot more students and give more away.” Scholarship winners had their pictures taken with a framed announcement of their prizes and left the North Terrace with an extra bounce in their step. “It’s just a great atmosphere and we’re really excited that we can have the college students come out here and participate,” Heissenbuttel said.

Congress give Occupy Wall Street protesters state of Entitlement
Unstructured economies cause political, social turmoil
The following column is a mock news story. Members of U.S. Congress have finally had enough of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Citing recent protesting by protesters about having to clean up after themselves, Congress decided to give the protesters their own state rather than have people be subjected to the filth and foul smells coming from protesters who have not showered or brushed their teeth. Quoting one New York congressman, “I received numerous calls from constituents complaining that they had to take the long way home rather than walk past people with matted hair and repugnant breath.” The protesters were given land in Southern California in what is now called “Entitlement.” The newly formed state of Entitlement has a population of about 30
The seemingly endless political and social revolutions that we see all over are more or less a byproduct of democratization, modernization and urbanization. TYLER In an increasingly ‘ DAVOREN global world where Contributing the economies and governments of councolumnist tries are inexplicably connected, countries that lack modernization and urbanization fall behind and allow the possibility of foreign domination to creep up on them from behind. When the Cold War came to a close, signalizing the victory of democracy over communism (in all but a handful of cases), the process of the democratization of countries began. This process is heavily concentrated in the overlapping Middle East countries and Arab cultures that were either developmentally oppressed under Soviet rule or simply couldn’t modernize on their own without revolution. Regardless of which affected each state more, many of today’s revolutions can trace their roots to those aforementioned theories. The Arab Spring is the title given to the wave of revolutions, uprisings, protestations and civil wars that have centered in Northern Africa and the Middle East over the past year. The roots of the conflict in these areas stem from the
million, of which all are on welfare, with the state government being made up entirely of Wall Street protesters. I was recently allowed to interview the governor of Entitlement, Mr. Handout, and asked him what the top priority of the newly created state would be. “Well Jim, I’m glad you asked this question. The No. 1 priority of Entitlement is to ensure that the citizens of this great state get a life where they don’t have to work hard to get what they want. We believe that from the minute you are born, you are promised an easy going life, have a job that pays at least $150,000 with free benefits, and, of course, do not have to pay for anything. Working hard is for other people, all we care about is getting the money other people work for.” The governor said he had
no answer for how the citizens would get this money for not working, but feels confident President Barack Obama and other Democrats will sympathize and fight for them. In what seems like a cruel twist of fate, the state of Entitlement has no running water, prices of electricity are 10 times as high as other states due to the “green” energy being used, and unemployment is at 100 percent due to the high number of citizens sitting on the couch and watching football seven days a week. However none of the citizens seem to be concerned and I think one in particular summed it up when she said, “We are just waiting for our bailout.” Jim Blackerby is an international studies senior.

crumble of the Soviet Union and the modernization of the West, with respect to the Middle East and North Africa. Revolutions in countries such as Egypt and Tunisia experienced an upheaval of outdated governmental regimes and a modernization of their economies. Algeria and Iraq both dealt with major social protestation, and Libya even saw a civil war break out. Most states in the Arab world saw at least minor protests; it’s almost as if the people wanted to shout, “Hey, you’re doing something wrong!” at their governments. The modernization of governments is multifaceted. It is an attempt to modernize domestic social structures, state’s economies and, most importantly, governmental bodies. In today’s ever increasingly complex international and political arena, states’ governments are constantly pressured to succumb to the needs of their people (as they dutifully should). States with economies not structured to most fully benefit their people are forced to change. By the same token, states with social structures that are heavily prejudiced are forced to change for fear of United Nations or NATO intervention. Until democracy and relative modernization take complete hold in the region, one can expect more questioning of the status quo.

Cool Cats victorious over Cincinnati, win 10-7 By Patrick Thompson sports@kykernel.com
Coming off a tough road weekend at the ACHA Division 2 Showcase, the Cool Cats rebounded with a 10-7 win over Cincinnati Friday night. The night was filled with emotion and excitement as former teammate and captain Taylor Vit’s memory was honored with a moment of silence and a round of applause. A surprise guest was also on hand to make an appearance, as former UK basketball player DeMarcus Cousins wobbled his way slowly onto the ice to drop
the ceremonial puck shortly after Big Blue Madness. The first period saw both teams coming out of the gate strong, with both goalies being peppered with shots. UK’s physical presence was consistent, as the team was able to wear down Cincinnati’s breakout in its defensive zone. UK opened up the first period with a goal by senior captain Billy Glass. The score was tied for much of the period until sophomore defensiveman Jeremy Schmidt scored back-to-back shorthanded goals to bring the period to an end with UK leading 3-1. UK was quick to start
the second period strong, scoring two more back-toback goals by junior forward Brandon Tigrett and senior forward Danny Graham just over four minutes in. The physical play in the period resulted in many penalties by both teams, but UK was able to capitalize on power play opportunities and Cincinnati turnovers in the offensive zone. The second period was capped off with a save by junior goaltender Matt Bougie as Cincinnati came down the ice on a two-onone. Bougie was able to stretch his body out to make the save off of the quick pass and shot.
Senior assistant captain Michael Getz and freshman forward Charlie Hales tacked on two more goals to pull away from the Bearcats with a 7-2 lead heading into the third period. UK let its guard down in the third period, committing penalties that left the team shorthanded for much of the time. This allowed Cincinnati to come back into the game, scoring four unanswered goals to cut the UK lead to one. “We came out and played a good game, but collapsed a lot in the third,” said Glass, the senior captain. “Penalties are something we’re definitely going

“It wasn’t our best effort, we had a bunch of penalties and kids losing their heads in the third period,” senior assistant captain Sean McLaughlin said. “It’s all about discipline. When you’re beating a team that bad there’s no need to be getting mixed in with all the shenanigans that happen after the whistles.” UK was able to pull out of another close game with Cincinnati on Saturday, winning 6-5 in a shootout. UK will play next at midnight on Friday (technically Saturday morning) against Ohio State University at the Lexington Ice Center.

UK expected to be the best, year after year Team redefining college hoops, feels the pressure AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
Cutting through the flashing lights and the pulsating music of Big Blue Madness was John Calipari’s message, delivered against a “Kentucky Effect” backdrop from a lectern on a sprawling stage. UK is at the frontier of college basketball. Two years ago, Calipari said, UK basketball was reborn. Now, he said, UK is redefining college basketball. “We don’t move the needle,” Calipari said. “We are the needle.” That needle consists of a players-first mentality in a program-centric state. UK recruits the best players and is the facilitator of their dreams. This approach is a means to an end. To build a program to the level Calipari currently has built, UK would have been impossible without the players he’s brought. Building the program brings in more top players. It’s a mutually beneficial cycle. Push and promote the players, and they will give UK what it wants. “They will in turn help us to create memories,” Calipari said. “Help win banners that we all yearn for.” The banner has not been won yet. Not the one that matters most, at least. Last year’s Final Four banner was unfurled at this year’s

Head coach John Calipari spoke at Big Blue Madness with this year’s team. “We don’t move the needle,” he said. “We are the needle.” Madness. UK wants a better one unfurled at next year’s Madness. “I think Kentucky fans think we’re supposed to win every single year no matter what,” Kentucky native and senior guard Darius Miller said at Media Day. “But we have to live up to it. We made the choice to come here. We know what to expect coming into this season.” Expecting it is one thing. Dealing with it is another. Managing the exceedingly high predictions of this team has been difficult. It’s impossible to ignore the potential of a championship for this team, but it’s impractical to overburden the team this early. Reconciling the two is important. The goal has to be acknowledged, but ignored simultaneously. That may explain why Calipari vacillates when he talks about how UK will deal with it. One minute he’s saying he wants his players to “think like kings,” to “embrace the belief that we have no limits,” that he doesn’t want to make his
players “feel bad about wanting to be the best.” The next he’s saying he “doesn’t get bogged down in it,” that he just wants to have “peace of mind” by doing the best he can. His players reflect that. Doron Lamb said “not winning it all” would qualify the season as a disappointment. Terrence Jones said that winning a championship is what everyone wants, but “it hasn’t been discussed.” The internal effects are the most important. Whatever Calipari instills in this team, however he chooses to handle it, impacts more than whatever external forces, from fans and the media, are applied. “It’s just what we deal with,” Calipari said, and he’s right. Marquis Teague said fans tell him, over and over, to get banner No. 8. “It’s an everyday thing. It never stops,” Teague said. And even if UK does win banner No. 8, the press for banner No. 9 won’t ever stop, either. That’s how it goes at UK.
