Ousted Libyan dictator Gadhafi dead UK faculty react to news, project Libya’s future By Drew Teague dteague@kykernel.com
The ousted dictator of Libya, Moammar Gadhafi, was confirmed dead Thursday. Though there are conflicting reports of how the selfproclaimed “King of Kings” died, reports began to surface Thursday morning that Gad-
hafi had been killed. It was later confirmed by interim Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril in Tripoli, the nation’s capital. Suleiman Darrat, a former UK professor of Islamic studies and Libya native, has talked to his relatives in Libya about Gadhafi’s death, and said people are thrilled, and all
events, such as weddings, have been canceled because of Gadhafi’s death. “(Libyans) will be able to make their lives better for themselves and for their families and for their children,” Darrat said. Darrat said Gadhafi has been in control of “all aspects and matters: communication,

President Eli Capilouto announced at Tuesday’s investiture ceremony that one of his primary goals as President is to rebuild campus. UK was established in 1865 and will be celebrating 150 years of existence in the near future, a milestone that few universities in the state have reached. With its rich history, however, comes the need to renovate and rebuild many of the structures on campus. A recent report indicated that more than 80 percent of buildings on UK’s campus are considered to be in fair to poor condition. In his speech, Capilouto said he will construct residence halls and build new classroom space in the core of campus. Although estimated construction costs top $1 billion, Capilouto is confident that UK will come up with the means necessary to complete the rebuilding process. While Capilouto plans on fixing campus building, many students have taken note of the shortcomings of UK’s facilities, especially at locations such as the student center and the Funkhouser Building.

I think the facilities are comfortable. I use Willy T ... one of the nicest libraries in the country.”

Paranormal group searches for spirits By Brooke Talbot
A new student organization is investigating anything out of the ordinary. Paranormal is defined as anything out of the ordinary or not normal, including fairies, zombies, and ghouls, and the Paranormal Study Organization is a new club this year that investigates paranormal activity. The club uses websites that set out rules and details and then does individual research on public records to see who has died at particular places, said Kayla Pickrell, journalism sophomore and founder of the group. She said the club has 25 members so far but grows daily. Students,
One year ago, at UK’s 2010 Homecoming showdown against Georgia, running back Washaun Ealey put on a performance the Cats’ defense will never forget. Ealey carried the ball 28 times for 157 yards and an astounding five touchdowns, a school record, in the Bulldogs’ 44-31 defeat of UK. Ealey returns to Commonwealth Stadium 364 days later, on Homecoming once again, this time in a Jacksonville State Gamecocks uniform. See EDGE on page 3

McConnell said many of the leaders from Libya’s National Transitional Council have been educated in the U.S., and he hopes they will form a representative government that will become an ally of the U.S. Patterson School Director and former U.S. Ambassador Carey Cavanaugh said “few (people) would argue that this is a good thing” and looks for-

New athletics committee recommended
Mascot tryouts Sunday
By Chase Sanders

news@kykernel.com
A UK Board of Trustees subcommittee recommended Thursday the implementation of a new athletic committee which will oversee contracts and facilities. The Athletics Review Committee was created in the spring to create a new athletics advisory committee comprised of students, faculty and members of the Board of Trustees and community members. The committee suggested the UK Athletics Association Board of Directors consider dissolving itself. Terry Mobley, the subcommittee chair, said UK’s new athletics advisory committee “would take the place of the current UK athletics advisory board.” According to the school bylaws, the $80-million athletics budget is included in the regular school budget of about $2.7 billion. This past summer, UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari was given a
For students who have ever wondered what its like to be a UK mascot, they have their chance this Sunday at the Stitches tryouts. Tryouts to be the part-time Kentucky Children’s Hospital mascot Stitches will be 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Sunday in the Seaton Center. The beloved mascot makes weekly visits to children in the hospital along with other events. The UK Healthcare team will be looking for an energetic UK student looking to become involved with the community. The chosen student will receive a $750 scholarship. Students must be between 4-foot-8 and 5-foot-4 and enjoy children. The student does not need to be a full-time student but they need to be taking classes that cost at least $750 so that they can receive the scholarship that is paid through SFA, said Cynde Estep, the senior service line manager for UK HealthCare. The current full-time mascot is Cory Allen, a kinesiology junior. “It’s crazy, lots of fun,” he said, “and can get really hot.” He recommends the job to anyone. “I mean, how often can you walk down the street, hold out your hand and everyone gives you a high-five,” he said.

two-year $36.5 million contract extension. Now, with the implementation of the new advisory committee, students, faculty and members of the Lexington community will have a voice in how much coaches in UK’s athletics department will be paid. However, they didn’t specify who could actually vote. “The president would have to appoint community members and students,” Barbara Jones, the Board’s head counsel, said. Britt Brockman, board chair, said he “came up with the idea of the new advisory committee” back in the spring.

MASCOT Continued from page 1 This mascot has similar duties as the Wildcat Scratch, and Stitches is said to be Scratch’s cousin. The apprentice position includes filling in when the full-time mascot cannot be at an event. The part-time mascot also will assist the fulltime mascot, helping them in and out of the costume, navigating around and taking turns, which can be difficult. Visits to children in the hospital range from weekly visits to greeting and playing with kids in the play area at Whittier Ball Park during

The committee was going to meet sooner than the scheduled date, but decided to wait on the inauguration of President Eli Capilouto. Even though he did not attend the meeting, the president’s words were expressed, since he has the final author-
baseball season. “They stress grades and work around my schedule. I mean, I never have to miss class,” Allen said. His main commitment is visiting the kids at the children’s hospital every Thursday afternoon, but most other commitments are on weekends. “I would say the average is about 10 a month,” he said. The student selected is expected to place a high priority on all events that Stitches is scheduled to attend. “Travel is dependent on events,” Estep said. “The majority of the appearances are local but there are times when he/she may need to travel, but
we provide mileage reimbursement.” She said the commitment level can vary but estimated a few times a month. At tryouts, students will fill out a questionnaire, and then interviewed. They will also try on the costume and demonstrate their ability to interact with people in different scenarios. “This helps us to gauge how they will act in different situations, since Stitches appearances vary and Stitches represents Kentucky Children's Hospital,” Estep said. Allen said the tryouts are pretty laid back and fun, and he will be there to help pick the mascot.
ity over the athletics and is the ultimate person responsible, Jones said. Several members also pointed out that the new committee would also mean the university’s compliance with NCAA rules and regulations would become a lot easier. Member Lionel Williams voiced a small amount of concern for the “downside of creating the new committee.” Including the community members and students in the decision-making process could take away from the overall power of the Board of Trustees, Williams said. Most of the board mem-
bers agreed that the potential committee’s “upside is better than its downside.” Jones said the advisory committee will increase the campus’ communication. “The new committee could also shorten the lines of communication between students, faculty and the Board of Trustees with regards to their concerns about the athletics department.” The Board of Trustees will vote on this twice over the next several months because it involves a change to the university’s governing regulations, according to a press release.

Real-life fairy tales on TV In their search for inventive approaches to drama, two networks have followed similar paths. At 8 p.m. Sunday, ABC premieres “Once Upon a Time,” a drama in which characters from the fairy-tale world (including Snow White and Prince Charming) have been moved to modern times and deprived of their original identity. At 9 p.m. Friday, NBC offers “Grimm,” in which a homicide detective learns that creatures from the Brothers Grimm stories are in fact real — and it’s up to him to keep them from disrupting the modern world. I suppose that these will appeal to some viewers on a very basic level. Considering what the real world is like these days, who wouldn’t want to live in a fairy tale? But these lives are, you will excuse the expression, grim. Indeed, “Grimm” seemed deliberately gloomy fare on first viewing, based more on the nasty business of fairy stories — the dark, wooded paths, the deceptively innocent-looking homes deep in the forest. “Once Upon a Time,” on the other hand, mines old stories for excess and mystery. Both

Aries (March 21-April 19)—Today is a 7—It's springtime in Melbourne, and love is in the air ... even in the Northern Hemisphere, for Aries. Your caring nature today makes you attractive. Share your heart boldly. Taurus (April 20-May 20)—Today is a 6—Some channels want to close today, but gentle pressure maintains the flow. Keep busy at home, and don't avoid other responsibilities. Receive gifts with thanks and a smile. Gemini (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 6—Finish up old business while you invent new opportunities for the future. Don't put it off. Stick to your budget. Find beauty in acts of ritual and routine. Cancer (June 22-July 22)—Today is an 8—You're on the upswing financially. Consider your next move carefully. What are the potential repercussions and
stem from the characters’ lives in their original fairy-tale world; in that world, the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) has placed a curse on everyone to prevent a happy ending. For example, Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) has become Mary Margaret Blanchard, a teacher who is terribly lonely because she has not found her Prince Charming (Josh Dallas). Like most of the other characters, she lives in the town of Storybrooke, where the Evil Queen is mayor. But the mayor’s grip in the town is threatened by the arrival of Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), a lost soul who has been given an idea of what’s going on in Storybrooke — not least because she may also be the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Through her character, “Once Upon a Time” can blend in mystery and soap opera, while also flashing back to the fairy-tale world to underscore what the characters had and lost. The best word I have for “Once Upon a Time,” which I like much more than “Grimm,” is nutty. But it is unapologetically, entertainingly nutty.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)—Today is a 9—There's room for misunderstanding in your interactions with loved ones, but you can handle it with ease, as long as you're respectful. Provide motivation. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)— Today is a 5—Focusing may require special attention now. Take a few minutes of peace and quiet to increase your productivity. Resist the urge to run away. Soon, it will be complete. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)—Today is a 7—Your social life keeps growing. Face to face discussion avoids misunderstandings, especially when it comes to romance. Shades of meaning get lost in email. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)—Today is a 7—Take care of your community, and allow them to take care of you.

Let a partner take the lead. They see the way to go. Evening creativity inspires. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)— Today is a 7—Work could get in the way of romance. Pass the reins to a colleague temporarily, and postpone travel. Streamline your work routine, and time opens up for fun.

GADHAFI Continued from page 1 wards it. “The country … has not had experience in any recent time with any form of Democracy,” Cavanaugh said. “The population of Libya is very young, so for most Libyans the only leader they have ever known is Moammar Gadhafi. “I think we’ve seen in the past several months the desire for democracy and the desire for liberty, the rising strength of the rebel movement that took Tripoli on Aug. 20 and had continued the fight these past two months,” Cavanaugh said. Paul Chamberlin, an associate professor of history, compared the situation in Libya to that of Middle Eastern countries that have recently lost their long-time rulers. “We should not look at this as the end of the story in Libya,” Chamberlin said in an

The Monday of Halloween the organization will get together to watch movies, eat, play games and review their research along with what they found in the theater, Pickrell said. “Ghosts come back when they have an emotional tie to an area,” Mae Seay, a psychology junior and vice president of the club, said. “I’m really excited to go to Guignol.

email to the Kernel. “The United States has a fairly short attention span on these matters, but the real question is what will happen next. If Iraq and Afghanistan taught the United States and NATO anything, it’s that toppling a government is not enough. The real challenge is rebuilding.” President Barack Obama spoke from the White House Rose Garden just after 2 p.m. Though he didn’t confirm his death, he had faith in the Libyan government’s confirmation of Gadhafi’s death. “This marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of Libya, who now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny and a new and democratic Libya,” Obama said. Obama said the Libyans began the change toward democracy based off their courage to stand up to Gadhafi, noting the historical significance of the day.
“(T)he courageous Libyan people fought for their own future and broke the back of the regime,” Obama said. “This is a momentous day in the history of Libya.” On Feb. 22, UK student Luebab Ahmed helped organize a demonstration for the large population of Libyan’s who immigrated from Libya. Nearly 100 people, both immigrants from Libya and local supporters, protested Gadhafi and his treatment of the Libyan people at the Fayette Circuit Courthouse. The group chanted in both English and Arabic and marched around the area. Protesters also held signs at the street corner wanting drivers to honk in support of the rally. “Libya will travel a long and winding road to full democracy,” Obama said. “There will be difficult days ahead. But the United States, together with the international community, is committed to the Libyan people.”
The club is going to investigate places such as cemeteries around Lexington and Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Ky., Pickrell said. “We hope to find a lot of activity and people as interested and excited as we are,” Pickrell said. The organization will be having a Mascarade ball in February for Valentines Day. “I want to do some crazy stuff and get involved with new adventures,” Hassan Alomran, a computer science sophomore, said. About three in four Americans admit having at least one paranormal belief, according to a Gallup survey. Also, 41 percent of people believe in extrasensory perception, while 37 percent believe in haunted houses. “My family thinks there’s a high-heeled ghost at my grandma’s house,” Chelsea Bentley, a merchandising, apparel and textiles senior, said. “I believe in them because it could be possible. I guess I’m
gullible.” The British Journal of Psychology said in a newspaper survey, 59 percent were believers in the paranormal. They found a large sex difference, as 70 percent of females were believers where 48 percent of males don’t believe in it. “I have to see it in order to believe it,” Andrew Jarrells, a communications senior, said. He is a nonbeliever in paranormal activity. Pickrell, who is also a staff writer for the Kernel, is in the Appalachian Paranormal Study Organization back home in North Carolina, and wanted to bring it with her to UK. “Hospitals are my favorite because the spirits are crying out for help,” Pickrell said. “The craziest thing that I encountered in North Carolina was when I was at the Devil’s Tramping Ground and was pushed to the ground. I’ve always been touched or spoken to, but never pushed.”

Proposed athletic committee gives new voices for oversight A proposal to shift the oversight of all UK athletics from the UK Athletics Association to a subcommittee of the university’s Board of Trustees was unanimously agreed upon Thursday by a special committee of board members. The committee also suggested the UK Athletics Association Board of Directors dissolve itself. The committee was created by Board Chairman Britt Brockman shortly after former UK President Lee Todd gave UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart a contract extension, and was created to monitor how the university oversaw athletics. The proposal will be presented before the entire Board of Trustees for its approval. Should it be approved, UK Athletics, which was already affiliated with the university, would then be an entity of the university, a land-grant university. The proposal essentially draws more distinct lines as to who UK Athletics reports to. If the UKAA Board is dissolved, the new athletics advisory committee could offer students and faculty a chance to have their voices heard. For one of just a handful of schools whose athletic departments finish the year in the green, it is important that the UK community have a say in what athletics does. The shift in jurisdiction over UK Athletics reassures that the university is, at the end of the, day the one in power.

‘Tucky Tweets
Calipari can prove his one-and-done way works AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
There’s that question again. “Is there any validity to, that you can't win a national title with one-and-done players?” It came at UK basketball’s Media Day. It will always come, until UK head coach John Calipari wins a title with freshmen on his team. Regardless of Calipari’s numerous successes his first two years as head coach — a 35-3 season, a Final Four, nine NBA draft picks — his resume still lacks a championship. And so the perception lingers. And so the question keeps coming. Inexperience is certainly disadvantageous, especially when it comes down to those last few games, when a play or two — or a player who can make that play or two — is all the difference. Inexperience can impede those plays from being made. Calipari
said after last season he thought the Final Four atmosphere may have gotten into the heads of his young players. Terrence Jones had this telling quote at Media Day when asked what it takes to win a championship. “Obviously from experience I don’t actually know,” Jones said. “But I would say staying focused. You need to play the way you played to even get that far in the first place and not worry about the crowd or anything else.” Drawing on history, though, as the primary reason why leaning on freshmen won’t work is illogical and irrational. After all, other teams have come close: Michigan’s Fab Five, Ohio State with Greg Oden, and both of Calipari’s UK teams. Syracuse in 2003 had freshmen as three of its top six players, including Carmelo Anthony, and won it all. So young teams have won big, and occasionally won it all; it’s just that Calipari, at the forefront of the one-and-done approach, hasn’t. Make the breakthrough, and all of a sudden, the Calipari Way is added to the stable of Legitimate Ways to Win a Title.
Will it happen? “We’ll see, I guess, as we go forward,” Calipari said. Calipari says his biggest concern for this season is his team’s youth, but he brought in that youth, and he maintains he’ll take talent over experience. Calipari is pushing the test to the extreme and believing in his methods. Regardless of what everyone else thinks. “Maybe it's right. Maybe it's not right,” Calipari said. “At the end of the day, 10 years from now, we'll be able to look back and say, this is how it played out. I know how it's playing out now. We are winning a lot of games.” People think he could win more. Maybe if he didn’t recruit players who leave so fast. Calipari makes no attempt to hide that UK is a players-first program. He could choose to try and persuade players like Brandon Knight to come back. Tell him to finish his degree, when Calipari’s own mind is on winning championships. “I just don’t do it that way,” Calipari said. He can prove his way should be included in the “right ways” to succeed. By winning.

EDGE Continued from page 1 After serving two suspensions while at Georgia, Ealey was granted a transfer over the summer by Georgia head football coach Mark Richt. He chose to transfer to Jacksonville State of the Football Championship Subdivision, but now returns to familiar SEC stomping grounds in Lexington. The Cats’ defense, however, is far improved from a season ago. A defense that struggled to keep SEC opponents off the scoreboard last year (UK allowed all eight of its SEC opponents to score more than 20 points in 2010, five of which scored at least 28 points on the Cats) now has a new look and a new man in charge. Co-defensive coordinator Rick Minter’s 3-3-5 defense has shown immense improvements from a year ago, especially in stopping the run. Senior linebackers Danny Trevathan and Ronnie Sneed, along with senior safety
Winston Guy, who has excelled in a new role closer to the line of scrimmage, will be critical if UK wishes to slow down Ealey and contain the Gamecocks offense. Edge: Defense. Throughout the first half of the season, the UK defense was plagued with fatigue and frustration as a faltering offense kept the defense on the field for the majority of games. If UK’s new defensive scheme, designed to crowd the line of scrimmage, can successfully slow down the Gamecocks’ rushing attack, they should be able to remain rested and keep up the intensity for a full 60 minutes.
UK quarterback Morgan Newton vs. fans’ frustrations This is an important game in the career of junior Morgan Newton as UK’s starting quarterback. Of the 120 teams in the Football Bowl Division, Newton and the UK passing attack ranks 116th in passing yards per
game, averaging 119. The offense with Newton under center ranks 118th in scoring with 13 points per game — just nine per game during UK’s fourgame losing streak heading into the bye. With an inconsistent and banged-up offensive line in front of him, an inexperienced and even more banged-up stable of running backs behind him and a wide receiving corps that hasn’t shown the ability to catch the ball, Newton’s teammates have not helped him out much through the first six games. But in critical moments, Newton has folded, turning scoring touchdowns into a foreign concept for the Cats. Now, Newton finds himself presented with a second chance. A golden opportunity to redeem himself and turn UK’s season around for the better. Will he take advantage?
Even against nonconference opponents early in the season, like Western Kentucky and Central Michigan, Newton has struggled and relied on the defense, special teams and rushing attack to bail him out. Once again, a defense with inferior talent will have its way with the Cats’ signalcaller, and UK’s hopes of a Homecoming win could be in jeopardy.
Overall Edge: The overall edge goes to the Cats at home, although the margin of victory will be closer than many expected when the season started. If the running game can establish itself, the defense can prevent long scoring drives and senior punter Ryan Tydlacka can work the field position in UK’s favor, the Cats will improve their record to 3-4. However, if Newton cannot keep the football and the defense is exhausted by halftime (the pattern from UK’s last four Edge: No, Newton will not take advantage losses) no win is a guarantee. Exof his opportunity, giving the edge to the pect UK to respond and win, but by always-evolving frustrations of the fans. a narrow margin.

Jacksonville State no pushover for UK Talent level is close enough to put Cats on upset alert CODY PORTER Kernel columnist
UK football is by no means a powerhouse in college football, something we all should know by now. Even with his success with the Cats, Paul “Bear” Bryant still left for greener pastures in Alabama. After becoming an example of the NCAA’s wrath due to the recruiting violations during the Hal Mumme era, Cats’ fans got a quick taste of success with Guy Morriss despite not being able to play in the bowl game upon finishing that 7-5 season. That success continued when Rich Brooks got “his guys” onto the field in 2006
as the current streak of fivestraight bowl games began with a victory over Clemson in the Music City Bowl. So where do the Cats stand now? UK is 2-4 and reeling after three consecutive weeks of being absolutely dominated on the field. My question is, “Have the Cats relapsed or is this just a series of unfortunate events?” The reasoning behind this question comes from the comments made earlier this week by Jacksonville State head coach Jack Crowe. Having already called the game a “measuring stick” for his program, Crowe went on to discuss how he believes his Gamecocks should be highly competitive with the Cats. “I think we are improving to a point where this game could be highly competitive until the very end – with an
opportunity to win,” Crowe said. The more telling quote from Crowe’s weekly press conference came moments later though, when Crowe said, “We have a handful of players that are just as good or better than they have at their positions.” To any football fan outside the Bluegrass, they may think this is a delusional statement. Actually, there are probably still fans in the state of Kentucky that think this is delusional regardless of the play on the field. When actually looking at the tale of the tape, however, Crowe is probably correct in making that assertion. Did you ever wonder where former Georgia running back Washaun Ealey landed? Well, look no further. The Bulldogs’ leading rusher from the 2009 and
UK ranked No. 2 in preseason coaches poll Highest ranking since being No. 1 in 1995-96, six teams ranked in Top 25 on UK’s schedule By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Preseason polls are here, which means college basketball season is getting closer. UK was ranked No. 2 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll and received one first-place vote. North Carolina will start the season at the top of the rankings after receiving 30 first-place votes. On UK’s schedule are teams currently ranked No. 1 (North Carolina), No. 7 (Vanderbilt), No. 8 (Louisville), No. 10 (Florida), No. 13 (Kansas) and No. 17 (Alabama). UK has been ranked in
the preseason top 10 in each of head coach John Calipari’s three years. UK was ranked No. 5 in 200910 and No. 10 last season. The last time UK was ranked this high was 199596, when UK was ranked No. 1 and ended up winning a national championship. But how much do preseason rankings indicate when compared to where teams end up? I went back 13 seasons and found where in the preseason polls the national champion originated. Some come from the top of the polls. Some come from out of the polls entirely. Most teams that made
at least the Final Four come from the top of the rankings. In the 13 seasons represented, the eventual national champion was ranked in the top four nine times. One instance of a slightly lesser ranking (No. 9 Duke two seasons ago) winning it all exists, and there’s three cases of a team that came from outside the Top 25 taking home a title. Expanding the parameters a bit, the vast majority of Final Four teams came from the Top 10 (32 out of 52). Eight times a Final Four team came from outside the Top 25. Eight times the team ranked No. 2 made the Final Four.
2010 seasons would definitely be the leading man in the Cats’ backfield, but could probably do so on an even larger stage. Last season as a Bulldog, Ealey had a season-high 28 rushing attempts for 157 yards and five touchdowns, yes, count them, five touchdowns against UK. The talent level of the Jacksonville State offensive line could be lacking in the skills department compared to Georgia, but nevertheless I expect Ealey to give UK fits and be the main reason why the Cats should be on upset alert. The scrambling quarterback, which has been UK’s kryptonite in years past, is ever-present on Saturday in
sophomore multi-tool Coty Blanchard. Blanchard is second on the team to Ealey in rushing with 340 yards and three touchdowns. He also serves as the team’s punter, and though he may be no senior punter Ryan Tydlacka for UK, Blanchard has a respectable average of 35.8 yards per punt. Almost forgot, in the words of Boobie Miles uncle in Friday Night Lights, “OOHH! And he can pass!” The sophomore may be playing against a lower level of competition, but his stats don’t lie when it comes to the fact that his receivers can still catch the ball. He has completed 67 of his 113 passes on the season for 860 yards and six touchdowns, all while only throwing two interceptions.
The one guy on Jacksonville State that may have some explaining to do come Saturday is senior defensive end Monte Lewis, whose stats for the season don’t exactly back up his opinion. “I feel as though there are some guys in our conference that is just as good as the players they have,” Lewis said. He went on to add, “I try to get after them, no matter if they are in the FCS or the FBS.” Lewis’ dedication should be commended, but if I were in the shoes of UK head coach Joker Phillips, Crowe and Lewis each gave UK bulletin board material that could help spark a fire so that the Cats can finally chalk up a victory once again.
