Class focuses on Lexington as community City’s history has affected the way it’s molded By Brittney De Jaco news@kykernel.com
One UK professor is teaching a different type of class, where students learn about the local community. Geography professor Richard Schein is changing things up with a new class, A&S 100, called “Community 101.” Schein prefers to call the class “Learning Lexington” because it offers students a chance to familiarize themselves with the Lexington community and all that it has to offer. The class “helps the students feel they are a part of the greater Lexington community,” Schein said. “We are an urban nation and we’ll all live in cities at some point.” Although it has all of the usual elements, it is not a typical class. The class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. On Tuesdays, the class breaks into groups and discusses the issues that will be covered on that following Thursday when a speaker will visit. The speakers are members of the community, who speak often on behalf of their organizations, informing the students about their contribution to Lexington. To prepare for these visitors, Schein puts together web assignments and Herald-Leader articles for the students to “read about the issues, its statuses and its history,” Schein said. Caleb Lucas, an international studies senior in the class, said he has learned more about Lexington in his short time in this class than during all his years here at UK. “Understanding the way history molded it into our modern day city has been particularly beneficial,” he said. “Everything from why the roads are confusing to why campus is laid out the way it is.” Students are required to go out in the community to get more hands-on experience with the people and places they are learning about. For example, the students must attend a breakfast at Keeneland where they learn about the workers and explore the venues. Schein also likes the students to go in their own time to visit places before the speakers visit. He said by doing so, it allows the students to have prior knowledge and be able to ask questions relevant to the speaker’s organization when he or she visits. Andee Shannon, a political science freshman, said the class has changed the way she views her community. “I am more aware of my surroundings when I leave campus,” Shannon said. “I notice the people and their interactions as well as the architecture and what is new in the newspaper because these are all things Professor Schien has brought to our attention See CLASS on page 2
Campus prepares for flu season By Coriá Bowen news@kykernel.com
Flu and cold season is approaching, and students and staff are preparing for it. “When you have the flu you feel pretty rotten,” Kristen Brown, a clinical administrator for University Health Services, said. Various factors cause the spread of germs during flu season, Brown said. “It’s safe to say that we are all indoors more during the colder months,” she said. “It’s the enclosed living that causes the flu to spread more than in the warmer months.” Many students visit the clinic reporting flu symptoms. “We always see a surge starting in November and we usually go through February with students coming in with upper respiratory symptoms,” Brown said. “Sometimes it’s the flu and sometimes it’s a cold.” The clinic is well prepared for an influx of students. “We usually don’t have any problems seeing paSee FLU on page 2

Head football coach Joker Phillips encourages students at the pep rally on Monday to support the football team by going to the Homecoming game.
Sailing on tradition’s winds UK sailed its way into Homecoming Week 2011 as the pep rally officially kicked off the celebrations. The UK Marching Band played crowd favorites while cheerleaders and dancers performed. Homecoming Court was also announced, and students even danced to “The Wobble” as they cheered for the football and women’s basketball teams. Homecoming Week events include the step show, Kitty Karnival, the parade and the football game Saturday against Jacksonville State.

To friend or not to friend Students and professors weigh in on Facebook family relationships By Jill Novak news@kykernel.com
It can be exciting to see that bright red notification at the top of the Facebook page, but that excitement might change when that friend request is from Mom or Dad. People run into the dilemma of accepting right away or putting it off while making sure their Facebook page is “parent acceptable.” That is the question is facing many teens and college
students today: to accept or to not accept? When it comes to both parents and students navigating the world of Facebook, things can get a little messy. While students are away at college, Facebook provides convenient communication for them and their parents to keep in contact while they aren’t living at home. “When parents are included as friends, and children are away from home, it affords a way to stay in touch that is
valuable,” Phil Kraemer, a psychology professor, said in an email to the Kernel. Kraemer said when he and his wife could not reach their daughter by phone, his wife got on their daughter’s boyfriend’s Facebook page, who was able to contact her. “Score one for FB,” Kraemer said. For Tim Lee, a marketing sophomore, Facebook is the primary way, other than the phone, he can talk with his parents, who live in Delaware. “Without Facebook, the distance would seem even further,” Lee said. “Now I can just sign on and chat with them whenever I want.”
Other students might argue that seeing their parents on Facebook makes them feel like they are still in high school living under their parents’ roof. “I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy, knowing my parents can see all my pictures and read my statuses,” Kyle Crisp, a finance freshman, said, “and I think it’s weird that I can see theirs.” Crisp said he shouldn’t have to worry about them viewing his profile. “I understand that they should be allowed to comment on my stuff, but there has to See FACEBOOK on page 2
Cats to rely on sophomore ‘veterans’ By Sam Rothbauer news@kykernel.com
Sophomores aren’t typically referred to as veterans. But, this year’s UK basketball roster is heavy on freshmen and sophomores — again. UK head coach John Calipari said at a Media Day press conference that this squad’s strengths lie with their “length and athleticism” and his concerns were that “we are very young again.” With a team that only has

two seniors and two juniors, the sophomores who have the college basketball experience and who have been to a Final Four are forced to step into that upperclassmen role. Sophomore guard Doron Lamb seems to be adjusting to this new responsibility. “I’m a leader. I won’t just watch somebody play, I’m on the court, too. I’m playing too,” Lamb said at a Media Day interview. “I just got to lead my freshmen. You lead the freshmen and just push them and

push ourselves and push everybody on the team.” This is a new experience as a college freshman to come into UK's program with the expectations fans impose and the transition from high school to college, but senior guard Darius Miller approaches the role as a mentor. “I'm trying to spend a lot of time with (freshmen) and talk to them a lot so they understand what it’s going to be like and how intense it's going to be,” Miller said at Media Opinions.............3 Sports..................4 Sudoku................2
Day. “I think they're doing a great job on their own with just stepping in and being comfortable and getting ready, though.” On paper, this team is small and skinny compared to most (with the exception of sophomore forward Terrence Jones, who put on 20 pounds this summer).

when she started using Facebook. “Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want Grandma or Grandpa to see,” he said. As a result of not following this rule, she has lost Facebook privileges on more than one occasion. “I don’t consider it an invasion of privacy at all,” he said. “I’m teaching her that since she is living in a digital world she has to learn how

Sanitary precautions are taken daily. “All public area surfaces are cleaned daily with a disinfectant cleaner,” Wiseman said. All public surface areas are those that may come in contact with individuals, he said. “Also provided are hand sanitizers located throughout campus for the protection and convenience of everyone,” Wiseman said in the email.

Some students are taking special care to avoid the flu. Todd Bell, an elementary education senior, said he had the flu last year. “My flu was so bad that I had to go home to Elizabethtown,” Bell said. “So obviously I missed a good amount of class.” Bell said he is not nervous about getting the flu this year. “I know I have to be smarter about washing my hands and taking extra precautions,” Bell said. Stress on students can also trigger the flu, Brown said, especially in the fall semester when stress increases. “We are all inside, stress and a lack of sleep are (the) perfect storm for students to get ill this time of year,” she said. Brown gave tips for students. “I would always encourage people to wash their hands and to cover their cough,” she said. “Being inside in the colder months make it easier for all germs to spread.” For more tips and information about how to prepare for flu season, visit uky healthcare.uky.edu/uhs.

For those worried about privacy, Facebook provides the option to make profiles private so only certain friends can see certain things. “I don’t think my parents being on Facebook is an invasion of privacy at all because I just put the things I don’t want them to see on private, and they respect that,” Monica Murphy, an

Schein said he loves teaching the class and has been working toward making it a class that can be truly beneficial for the students.

Rivera said he would recommend the class to other students. “Here I see the connection between the university and the community, and I like that,” Rivera said.

The Cats are versatile this season, which may make adjusting to the age (or lack thereof) easier. “With this team, I feel like we have a lot of players that are interchangeable,” Jones said at Media Day. “We've got long players and players that remind me of myself when it comes to blocking shots and working hard.” Follow Sam on Twitter at @KernelRothbauer
‘Take Shelter’ has conflict In days of old, they might have thought Curtis a prophet of doom, or possessed by the Devil. But since he’s a modern working-class Joe drilling test holes for a contracting firm, these dreams Curtis is having provoke a modern response. Is he seeing the future, birds swarming before a nightmarish rain of oil, a tornado? Or is he coming unglued? Should he protect his family by preparing them for disaster, or check himself into a hospital, protecting them from him? That’s the provocative conflict at the heart of “Take Shelter,” the second film to team rising star filmmaker Jeff Nichols and the great character actor Michael Shannon. As Curtis, Shannon brings his usual mix of menace and vulnerability, adding confusion and acute paranoia to the brew inside of this guy’s head. Curtis has a lovely, resourceful wife, played by the marvelously earthy and omnipresent Jessica Chastain (“The Help,” “The Debt”). He has an adorable daughter, a nice rural Ohio home and a loyal dog. But he’s seen the dog bite him in his nightmares. The dog goes outside. His pal at work (Shea Whigham, terrific)

Curtis wets the bed, seeks medical help and yet hedges his bets. There’s an old storm shelter in the yard. He’s going to fix it up to withstand anything. Shannon wonderfully modulates Nichols’ portrait of a man whose mind and life seem to unravel before our eyes. Nichols surrounds him with great character players such as Chastain and Whigham, with Kathy Baker playing his mother and Ray McKinnon (“The Blind Side”) well-cast as the concerned brother who shows up to see what’s up. Nichols walks a tightrope between giving us a dark, Gothic tale of misunderstood prophecy and a sobering lesson on the state of mental health care in rural America. And Shannon, piling up the accolades with every film (“Reservation Road,” “The Runaways”), adds the troubled and troubling Curtis to a growing resume of vivid and utterly real offcenter characters.

Homecoming activities reflect unique campus Homecoming 2011,“Cats Set Sail,” presented by the UK Alumni Association and the Student Homecoming Coalition, commenced Monday and will continue throughout the week offering a schedule of activities that guarantees every student will have no choice but to “see blue” (really though, blue lights will illuminate from downtown Lexington trees, at the Courthouse and other locations during Homecoming week). Homecoming traditionally features alumni returning to school, cultural and sports events, a parade and the coveted crowning of a Homecoming king and queen. This week’s Homecoming will include these classic Homecoming activities, but new events will be added to UK’s Homecoming repertoire. Students should actually try to attend Homecoming events this year. Ignore any preconceived notions you may have about Homecoming. This year’s events reflect UK’s past traditions, as well as UK’s present uniqueness. The Student Homecoming Coalition has put together a week of events that stray from the “traditional” Homecoming, and that reflect the unique individuals and perspectives that comprise UK. Student representatives from campus organizations form the Student Homecoming Coalition, including the Student Activities Boards, Student Government, the Black Student Union and the Center for Community Outreach. These representatives joined together to take their organizations’ individual events and assemble them into a unified Homecoming schedule. The Homecoming Coalition received the National Association for Campus Activities Outstanding Diversity Achievement Award at the 2011 NACA National Conference in Feb. 2011, establishing that this year’s Homecoming is not a simple replication of past events, but a merging of classic UK traditions and the distinctive diversity of UK presently. This year UK is offering many events, a lot of which are free and are important to reuniting Wildcats of the past, present and future. Homecoming week will include a student’s versus alumni competition at the Mo Betta Basketball Game, small carnival games created by student organizations for children to enjoy at the Kitty Karnival and, of course, the Homecoming football game against Jacksonville State. This year’s Homecoming is a particularly important moment in the history of UK as President Eli Capilouto will officially becoming UK’s 12th president at an investiture ceremony Tuesday. Homecoming is a week to celebrate the traditions and people that define UK; you should be a part of it.
Exercise caution when engaging in sexual activity Almost anything in life that is fun, pleasurable or even daring, comes with some degree of risk. And, when taking any risk, there is a degree of caution that must be aired. The same is true for one’s sexual health. Participation in any form of sexual activity is a risk, because the only 100 percent safe sex is abstinence. Thus, when taking part in a sexual act, one should exercise caution by using any of the various forms of safer sex. However, recent data gathered by University Health Service shows that many students are not putting this measure of caution into practice when engaging in sexual activity. According to UHS, there has been an increase in positive test results for chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes — three of the most common sexually transmitted infections on UK’s campus — this year. Although the new school year has just started, UHS clinicians have already reported seeing a number of positive results found for these STIs. Students should keep in mind the many safer sex options available to them before engaging in any form of sexual activity. These include condoms, dental dams and birth control, just to name a few. Students should also keep in mind that many of these
safer sex tools are offered at UHS, along with a number of other services, such as free testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis for full-time students. In addition, UHS offers free Pap tests and pelvic examinations — important screenings for women’s health — as well as birth control counseling. Students can also seek help from the Sexperts, a peer health education organization. The Sexperts are available to do presentations for any campus affiliated group (including residence halls) about sexual health, answer questions related to safer sex and are best known for those handy “Sex in the Sack” bags. For more information, go to www.ukhealthcare.uky.edu/uhs or email the Sexperts at UKSexperts@gmail.com. Find us on Facebook under University of Kentucky Sexperts. The Sexperts are comprised of Kameron White, a family and consumer science education sophomore, Jessica Smith, a hospitality management sophomore, Tiffany Fisher, an international studies senior, and Eriauna Stratton, a elementary education sophomore.

‘Best film of the last 25 years’ debuts at UK Ongoing ArtsAsia festival hosts Chinese favorite By Sarah Owsley features@kykernel.com
Admirers of Chinese culture can go see a film favorite for the first time on UK’s campus Tuesday night. The popular Chinese film, Yellow Earth, will debut in White Hall Classroom Building as a free feature for the ongoing 2011 ArtsAsia festival. The film, debuting on behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences’ new half semester Year of China course: “Passport to China: Global Issues, Local Understand-
ing,” is an important film for understanding China, said the assistant director of the Asia Center at UK, Shana Herron.
if you go What: Yellow Earth When: Tuesday at 5 p.m. Where: White Hall CB Admission: Free “It is a visually stunning film,” Herron said. “The story is set in 1939, so the filmmakers are looking back at
pre-Communist China and examining hard peasant living against a harsh and yellow earth landscape … in some ways wondering if the Communist promise of better life has made things better.” “Yellow Earth,” which debuted in 1984, was named “Best Film” of the last 25 years in Asiaweek’s 25th edition: “Best of Asia” in 2000, and it came in at number four on the 100 Best Chinese Motion Picture at the 24th Hong Kong Film awards in 2005. “The Yellow Earth is the first film I show in my contemporary Chinese film
class,” said Liang Luo in an email to the Kernel. Luo is an assistant professor of Chinese culture and literature at UK. “It is a foundational work and provides a new visual language for contemporary Chinese filmmaking.” UK Asia Center’s website quotes The Case for Global Film calling it “one of the most important films to appear in the 1980s, not
just in China, but in the whole of global cinema.” The Case for Global Film goes on to say that the film created “a new kind of cinema” because of the “use of colour, composition and framing, and its use of sound to evoke an ‘unknown’ time and place.” The ArtsAsia festival is organized by the UK Asia Center and the UK College
of Fine Arts, and includes everything from musical performances to art workshops and film showings. “Yellow Earth” will be shown at 5 p.m. Tuesday in room 118 of White Hall Ckassroom Building. For more information about the film and other ArtsAsia events, go to UK’s Asia Center website uky.edu/center/asia.

Calipari uses versatile lineup to his advantage AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
UK does not list specific positions next to player names on its basketball roster. Why not? After all, that label is the customary way of identifying a player. Small forward. Shooting guard. It’s out of necessity. It’s the convention. “We are unconventional,” head coach John Calipari said about his roster. So instead of listing specific positions, UK lists the generic one. Guard, forward, guard, guard, forward. That’s how it should because that’s how this team is built. Calipari’s system combined with the multi-dimensional talents of his players has eradicated positional specificity. Terrence Jones would be labeled a power forward in the traditional system. But he’s more than willing to play behind the arc (17 percent of his shot attempts were 3pointers last season). Darius Miller is listed as a guard. He’s 6-foot-8, and in the SEC Tournament last year, he was the player who had the best success with post-up scoring. Calipari has said Miller could play backup point guard at times. And 6-foot-11 Eloy Var-
gas and 6-foot-10 Anthony Davis? Both listed as forwards. “We have no fives (centers),” Calipari said. “We have three fours [power forwards] who think they are twos (shooting guards).” Great. Let Calipari place the pieces how he sees fit, rather than how numbers on a diagram indicate. Let him tinker. Calipari’s system is naturally suited to having unconventional players. When four players are stationed around the perimeter, they are constantly switching spots on the floor. Their options, however, are all the same: drive, shoot, pass, rotate. Players’ contributions change from possession to possession. “(Versatility) is a great advantage,” Davis said. “We got a lot of guys who can shoot, dribble, pass, block shots, rebound. So it’s really going to help against other guys who have solid bigs who post up and that’s it. We can switch things to have big guys posting up small guys.” With this particular level of multi-faceted talent on his roster, Calipari is taking the alterations one step further. He reached out to Denny Crum to see how he handled some unconventional teams he had and got ideas about how to guard the post without much bulk inside. Plus, the other talents besides bulk — the talents that contribute to the positional flexibility — make up for it.
Calipari couldn’t help but “ooohh” when talking about this team’s length and speed and quickness. He’s having players on the fast break run out wide rather than at the rim, like his teams traditionally do, to take advantage of the speed and driving ability of nearly everyone on the team. Calipari has said this could be his fastest team since his 2008 Memphis team, the Derrick Rose-led national runner-up. He’s going to let them run when they can; even Davis. “I don't want to run him to the rim because that's not what he is,” Calipari said. “Get out there and run and make plays, and then slide in there if you need to. It’s interesting.” Pick-and-rolls could be integrated more with this team. Davis and Teague would form a tough mismatch, and Kyle Wiltjer is a great screener because he’s available to shoot or drive if the ball gets reversed to him. But Calipari will use anyone if it ends up creating a mismatch. He loves creating mismatches. It lets the players do what they do best — attack, against an inferior defender. “I feel like we have a lot of players that are interchangeable,” Jones said. “I just like playing basketball. It doesn’t matter what position I’m at.” That’s the conventional part. And it works.
