Undergraduate studies freshman Thays Flores serves herself dinner at Commons on Saturday, Oct. 22. Many students say Commons has a distinct smell.
Can’t you smell that smell? Commons has recognizable stench By Corey Elam news@kykernel.com
Students leave Commons after a meal with full stomachs and sometimes new friends. But they also take with them something even more lasting — the smell that can only be identified as coming from Commons. “I always end up coming out of there and people ask me what I ate because I smell like hamburgers or meatloaf or whatever the main food is that day,” said Evan Ruschell, an anthropology sophomore. Many claim the smell comes from having so much food stored in one area, but Commons is an open two-story space. “I guess it smells like the most popular dish of the day because
that’s obviously what they make the most of,” Ruschell said. Commons patrons and visitors alike can’t escape the smell and know they will be taking it home with them. “My friend had a job there last year and had a great time working there, but never ever touched the food,” business sophomore Tom Hartung said. “Even though he didn’t, he always smelled like Commons and had to take a shower right after work, even if he wasn’t going anywhere afterward.” But for some, the stench is just part of living on campus at UK and something they’ve accepted. “It’s hilarious,” economics sophomore Francko Azor said. “I’ll get breakfast there some days and smell like bacon and pancakes the rest of the day.”
Freshmen Jared Haley, left, Daniel Haill, middle, and Matthew Emly eat at Commons on Saturday, Oct. 22. Commons visitors say its smell leaves with them. Commons is part of Complex Commons, in the Kirwan-Blanding Complex on South Campus. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner
from 7 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.
Just a year into their new positions, Andrea Reed and Dave Arnett have begun to reshape the UK Debate Team. “The chance to rebuild the dynasty as it were, was an opportunity to not pass up,” Arnett, the team’s head coach, said. Arnett replaced Roger Solt, who had Arnett coached for 30 years, and Reed replaced J.W. Patterson, who was the team’s director for 40 years. “We are in a rebuilding stage,” Reed, the program’s director, said. In October, the Reed team won the varsity division championship at the Vanderbilt Debate Tournament, the first varsity win for the team in more than a decade. The team was in the top 20 every year from the late 1970s to the mid 90s, Reed said. Reed and Arnett’s goal is to make the team consistent in winning, Arnett said. The team that won in October consisted of BCTC senior Charlie Cavalier and junior Billie Woika. Cavalier said since Reed and Arnett have joined the team, things have become more organized. “It has gotten a lot more in tune with the university,” he said. For example, he said, before it was a low, outcast program. “Now, they are working with the university a lot more for funding and institutional support.” The new coaches are really dedicated, Cavalier said. “Dave and Andrea have brought order to what was formally chaos,” he said. “They are trying to fix everything.” Before Reed became the director, she coached at Berkeley and Wake Forest, according to the team’s website. “There is a lot of work to do. We both still consider ourselves in the reSee DEBATE on page 2
Panel kicks off AIDS Awareness Week Disease prevalent on college campuses; Health Services offers prevention By Taylor Riley features@kykernel.com
HIV affects one in 500 college students across the U.S., according to Brandy Reeves, the health education coordinator for University Health Services. To start off AIDS Awareness week at UK, University Health Services will host a panel of health and social work professionals at 5 p.m on Tuesday.

Students attending the panel will be educated on how to get tested for HIV and about what the research panelists are doing to help people living with the disease, Reeves said.

UK ranked No. 1 in AP and coaches polls For the first tine since the 2009-10 season, the UK men’s basketball team holds the new No. 1 position in the Associated Press’ college basketball Top 25 and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. “This early in the season it’s nice, but it’s not that significant,” head coach John Calipari said in a
release. “It just puts a bigger target on us. Obviously, not everyone thinks that we’re the best team. Starting three freshmen and two sophomores, they may be right. I’ll be anxious to see how the team accepts the challenge this week.” UK received 46 of 65 possible

Director a dean finalist Beth Barnes, director of the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, is a finalist for the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences position at South Dakota State University. Barnes, who has been at UK since the summer of 2003, is one of three finalists for the SDSU position. She said she was eligible for the position because the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication is one of the larger programs within the College of Arts and Sciences at SDSU. Barnes said she thought her international experience and fundraising experience were two important reasons SDSU was interested in her as a finalist. SDSU is not quite as big as UK, Barnes said, and has about 12,800 students total for graduate and undergraduate. It is a land-grant university like UK and has many first generation college students. “In a lot of ways, it reminds me of UK,” Barnes said, “just in a slightly smaller scale.” She will travel to Brookings, S.D., next week for an on-campus interview. Brookings is about an hour north of Sioux Falls, S.D. STAFF REPORT

from the front page DEBATE Continued from page 1 building phase,” Reed said. “The university gives us a lot of support. It’s a good place to be trying to bring the program back to the top 20.” Arnett, who is originally from Kentucky, was the debate director at the University of California, Berkeley, before he came to UK, according to the website.
The team Being on the debate team is much like playing a sport for UK. “Debate is pretty specialized,” Reed said. For example, a basketball player wouldn’t walk on a college team without prior experi-
ence, she said, and the same is for debate. “It’s sort of exactly like a sports team,” sophomore Nicole Schladt said. “Still have that team quality.” Schladt was part of the novice team, along with Alejandra Zavala, who won the novice division in September at the Intercollegiate Debate Season Opening tournament at Georgia State University. Schladt, an international and gender and women studies major, did speech in high school and said she joined the team because she missed it. “I love that it is such an intelligent activity,” she said. Reed said debaters generally have extensive high school experience, though some don’t. Each year, teams debate over one topic. This year’s
AIDS
topic is democracy assistance to the Middle East. Reed said debating is a yearlong process, where debaters map out and research the topic. In June, teams are given the general area of the topic, and they start researching during the summer, she said. The first tournament was in October. Teams have to be prepared to debate both sides of the issue, Reed said. “Researching the negative to all the other teams affirmatives is an on-going task,” Arnett said. Students put in about 30 hours a week if they want to compete at the highest level, Reed said. “It’s almost like a job.” With 40 hours of competition at a tournament, each debate is about two and a half
hours. “It’s an endurance test, for sure,” Reed said. Tournaments are generally twice a month for three days, and debaters compete from September to April. Cavalier, a fourth-year debater, said he spends a lot of time in the debate office, doing research and talking about arguments. “It has definitely been a new experience with Dave and Andrea — having that kind of camaraderie,” he said. He said they try to be there all the time. Along with Arnett and Reed, Cavalier works a lot with assistant coach Abe Corrigan. “It’s not something that happens very often — undergrads having such interaction with professors,” Cavalier said.

• The college environment offers a higher risk for HIV and AIDS based on behaviors including unsafe sex and multiple partnerships, according to Medscape.com • In 2007, the Center for Disease Control reported that 7,000 new cases of HIV and AIDS were among people younger than 24. • The CDC estimates that 25 percent of people living with HIV do not know they have the immuno-deficiency virus.
is a life-threatening illness if not treated.” The discussion panel will preface World AIDS Day, which takes place every year on Dec. 1. World AIDS Day helps to educate people about the fact that HIV and AIDS is still as prevalent in the US as it was in the 1980s when the diseases became house-hold names.
The team is young, with just eight debaters competing, Reed said. There are varsity, junior varsity and novice divisions and each team consists of two people. Currently, Reed and Arnett are working on rebuilding the summer camp, which is held on campus every year. “Getting students on campus is the most effective thing we can do to persuade students to stay,” Arnett said. He said 10 of the top 20 high school juniors in the country are committed to coming to the summer camp. He said the team has two different missions. One is to make the team a top 20 program, which is done with about 10 to 14 experienced debaters, he said. The second is to offer novice debate, and
bring debate back to Kentucky high schools. “The feeling on campus is a lot of optimism,” Arnett said. “There already is a lot of support for the team here.” He said in building connections with different UK departments, “it seems like every department we meet with, they remember debaters or they were a debater.” Reed and Arnett’s goal is to qualify a team for the National Debate Tournament, held in late March. Last year, a UK team qualified for it. “We’re a pretty small program at the university, but I think we can do pretty big things for it,” Reed said. “It’s not everyday that UK students get the chance to meet students from Harvard. … We have the opportunity to do that every weekend.”
“More and more we see young people being affected by this disease,” Downs said. “People have to be aware for themselves and their friends; it is still here and the more educated you are, the more help you can get and give.” Students will have the opportunity to get free testing for HIV and AIDS on from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday at Commons, and from 3 to 5 p.m. on
Thursday in the Student Center. To symbolize the number of Kentuckians affected each year by HIV and AIDS, 365 red ribbons have been placed in front of the Main Building. Free condoms and red ribbons will be distributed by volunteers, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the Student Center Starbucks, to encourage safe sex and prevention.
Segel stars in ‘The Muppets’ LOS ANGELES — Jason Segel, star of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” grew up a devoted fan of the Muppets. All he wanted was to one day have a cameo role in one of their movies. Unfortunately for Segel, his first major acting role, in the 1999 series “Freaks and Geeks,” came the same year the Muppets made their last feature film, “Muppets from Space.” Since then the Muppets have done only a few TV and Internet projects. Segel finally got tired of waiting and cowrote, with Nick Stoller, “The Muppets,” a story of getting the old gang together to save The Muppet Theater. He not only helped pen the story, but he stars alongside Kermit and Miss Piggy. “I never thought that I would be working in this capacity with the Muppets. It’s thrilling and unbelievable and does feel like a fantasy sometimes,” Segel says. Segel’s motives for helping get the Muppets back on the big screen go beyond wanting to work with the group. He’s convinced they’re needed in this very cynical era of comedy. The Muppets have shown for 40 years that it’s possible to get laughs without having to do it at anyone else’s expense. That’s something Segel wants youngsters to understand. As for adults, he thinks the Muppets reflect who we wanted to be as kids. “They remind us of our best versions of ourselves. The world kind of beats something out of you that anything is possible, this sort of wide-eyed wonder, and you come to the reality of what the world is like. But the Muppets have never given in to that. They believe they can accomplish anything and they just go forward with their eyes open wide and a smile on their face. It sort of reminds us of the best in us,” Segel says.

Even if you're working, it's more fun together. Let folks know what you want and need. Ask them the same, and offer resources. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Money problems don't define you. Take on more responsibility, and find another route. Devote yourself to excellence at work. Someone important is observing.

“The Muppets” was the first film idea Segel pitched after his successful “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Once he got the OK, he and Stoller had no shortage of ideas. For example, Animal should be in an anger management and Fozzie should be performing in Reno with a knockoff version of The Muppets. They wanted to have the Swedish Chef working as a judge of “Top Chef,” but didn’t get to film the scene. The theme of the movie is that the Muppets are better together than apart, so Segel wanted them together as quickly as possible. He also knew he wanted to use the song “Rainbow Connection,” and he decided to make it a duet by Kermit and Miss Piggy after listening to a CD in his car of people covering Muppet songs. The rest of the film is filled with original music, other Muppet favorites and some familiar tunes. Segel was impressed that costar Amy Adams knows every Muppet tune. The only one real problem for Segel was that, at 6-feet-4, he looms over most of the Muppets. The solution was to have him sit in most scenes, something Segel embraced. “I just don’t like moving around. I’m not making a joke. I even like to sit in chase scenes,” Segel says. He used a lot of that time sitting around to think about how great it was to fulfill a life-long dream. His only regret is that the real stars _ the puppeteers _ don’t get the recognition they deserve for being able to act, dance, sing and be funny while working in a confined space. As for the rest of the film, Segel says, “We did what we set out to do for the lovers, the dreamers and you.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — Be open to innovation. Ask others how they would do it, and keep the best, most cost-effective ideas.

Students’ private information Obesity a choice available for anyone to see By Eric Rogier
opinions@kykernel.com
This letter is a response to a Nov. 28 column titled “Don’t criticize a person because of their waist size.” I have to argue with many of the points you made in your editorial. Can you really say with any amount of seriousness, “But no one chooses to be obese?” Every piece of food you put into your mouth is a choice, every time you pass the gym and say “maybe I’ll start next week” is a choice, every time you rationalize the dessert is a choice. I completely agree people struggling with weight are often subjected to humiliation and that is unacceptable, simply on the point that they are humans and no one should be treated that way. However, I notice a disturbing trend in the U.S. of acceptance on food over-consumption (look at our holidays), sedentary lifestyle and deviation from personal responsibilities. Over the past 20 years — which is the amount of time the U.S. has gone from less than 10 percent to approximately 30 percent adult obesity rates — medications, psychological factors, lack of sleep, stress and especially
genetics have not changed proportionately to the exponential increase in belt-lines. Obesity is absolutely a choice; it is easier for some to keep the weight off more than others, but you choose what you put in your body and how many calories you expend.
With a health care system already severely stressed, we cannot accept an obese lifestyle as ‘just the way someone is.’ With a health care system already severely stressed, we cannot accept an obese lifestyle as “just the way someone is.” Compassion is a necessity, but acceptance of a selfdestructive lifestyle must be met with resistance, and people must be educated with the truth: obesity is 100 percent preventable.

I’ll just go ahead and give him my number and address. You will, if I don’t. Melanie O. Matson, director of the UK’s Violence Intervention and Prevention Center, said a recent study conducted by the UK Center for Research on Violence Against Women found that one-third of female graduates and undergraduates experienced at least one type of physical, sexual or stalking victimization while a student at UK. “Reducing the ways (perpetrators) could access student information would increase student safety,” Matson said. The university complies with the 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, as amended, a federal law that protects the privacy and confidentiality of personally identifiable information contained within student education records. The law itself, however, neglects to acknowledge a student’s address as personal and confidential information. Vice Provost for Enrollment Management Don Witt said he agrees new measures need to be taken to ensure student safety. He has started a conversation with UK’s Student Lifecycle Management team and research is underway to find a more reasonable solution to the problem. “We’re working with the myUK team to see how we can use technology to allow students to manage how much or how little information they want released.

I questioned bringing this topic to print. I didn’t want to be an accomplice to the creeping, but here’s what I’ve decided: Creepers already know how to creep. They’ve already found the outlets to private information. So, while I sincerely apologize to those who disagree, I believe informing the unknowing student body is the best method of creeper prevention. In order to fully participate in the 21st century, yet maintain a sense of control, one must review social networking privacy settings and conduct reflective Google searches on a regular basis. One must also monitor the detail of information released through social networking posts to avoid catching the interest of a stranger who knows that one reads the paper at that coffee shop on Rose Street every Tuesday from 9 to 10 a.m. Finding the balance between naivety and active social networking is a 21st century art form. Unfortunately, UK doesn’t seem to even understand the medium. Visit uky.edu, click the “Directory” tab and search yourself. Most likely you’ll find your name, your email address, your cell phone number and every part of your address — at the world’s fingertips via your university.

rectory information,” Witt said. The university is searching for balance — trying to protect students who want privacy without impending on the rights of others. Most likely, UK will soon require a LinkBlue ID to access the Campus Directory, but nothing is certain. While we’re waiting, take care of the problem yourself. Step 1: Visit the Campus Directory Update page and edit your profile to include only the information you’re comfortable with. Step 2: Tell everyone. Bring the directory to the attention of acquaintances, as well as friends. Step 3: All opinions regarding the issue should be brought to the attention of the Student Records office: 10 Funkhouser Building, University of Kentucky. 859-257-7169. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is discussed at Freshmen Orientation, but it is quickly forgotten and most students, in the chaos of a new world, neglect to comprehend the severity of the issue. At the very least, UK has an obligation to its students to protect their privacy. Students need to be told specifically, and more than once, the information is out there and it is his or her responsibility to click the “hide” button(s). My home address is private information.

Coal-fueled power plants the future of energy By Clayton Cross opinions@kykernel.com
There have been several articles in the Kernel recently that speak poorly of the coal mining industry. The common theme of these articles has been a call to replace coal-fired power plants with more environmental friendly means of power generation, and I could not agree more. The current electricity demand of the U.S. is being met with outdated and inefficient coal-fueled power plants. The U.S. Energy Information
Administration approximated that at the end of 2010, 73 percent of all coal-based generating capacity were 30 years or older. Thankfully, there is a straightforward solution to replace these aging operations with more efficient and environmentally friendly electricity generation — new coal-fired power plants. Technological advancements have improved the operation of these plants such that they emit 90 percent less pollutants (SO2, NOx, particulates, mercury) than those from the 1970s. This is in addition to the fact
that coal-fueled power generation has tripled in the past four decades, yet primary emissions fell 80 per-

cent. Currently, there are 430 highly efficient coal-fueled plants under development, most in China and India. The U.S. accounts for very few of these projects, many being canceled or delayed because of the Environmental Protection Agency, at the direction of President Barack Obama and his administration. The current administration is preventing job creation and could potentially drive businesses out with higher electricity costs. With demand for electricity in the U.S. projected to increase 30
percent over the next 25 years, it is physically impossible to replace nearly 50 percent of our nation’s power generation with renewable sources. With such a large domestic supply, coal is the backbone and the future to electricity generation in our great nation. It’s time to move forward and allow for the construction of new, more environmentally friendly, coal-fueled power plants. Clayton Cross is a mining engineering graduate student.

Volleyball gets 7th straight NCAA Tournament bid; road games have prepared team for play in Texas Cats will play in Lexington if they win in first 2 rounds By Paul Martin pmartin1@kykernel.com
The UK volleyball team has made the NCAA tournament again. This makes seven years in a row that the Cats have been invited to the postseason, which is a school record. The official brackets announced Monday for the field of 64 has UK squaring off against the Dayton Flyers. Dayton won the Atlantic 10 conference and comes into the matchup with an overall record of 25-6. Dayton is making its third straight appearance in the tournament. The game will be in College Station, Texas, on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. “We are real excited to be in the tournament,” UK head coach Craig Skinner said. “I think it’s a wide open tournament this year. It’s a new season, so we are looking forward to getting started Thursday night down at (Texas) A&M.” UK was also chosen to host
of one of the four regionals sites, which will be held Dec. 9 and 10 at Memorial Coliseum. If UK wins in the first two rounds, it will get to play in Lexington at least one more time. “We have known that for a long time (about regionals being here); now you have to try and get there, but we have a lot of respect for the NCAA to give us the opportunity to host a regional. It’s an exciting time for volleyball in this part of the country,” Skinner said. Coaches and players joined together Monday evening to soak in the selection show on ESPNU, and they reacted with spirited applause when they saw UK on the board. “You get chills watching the selection show when it first pops up and you see your name there,” Skinner said. “Regardless of whom you are playing where or what, I am excited for our players because they have put in a lot of time and energy.”
The top four seeds for the tournament are Texas, Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa State. Texas is the top seed in the Cats’ bracket. Only the top four teams are given seeds. Tennessee and Florida join UK in representing the SEC. The Cats will face a daunting challenge to get past their first two foes, but Skinner likes the current disposition of his team. “If today’s practice is any indication, I think we are going to be ready,” Skinner said. “We came in with a lot of spirit and energy and a lot of competitiveness.” The Cats will be on the road this week, but the SEC slate has prepared them for just about anything. Tough and gritty games away from Lexington have been instrumental in this squad’s maturation. “We have a hard road, but we believe in ourselves,” junior defensive specialist Stephanie Klefot said.
Klefot and the Cats (26-5) face Dayton (25-6) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time at Texas A&M. Junior defensive specialist Stephanie Klefot played in UK’s Nov. 20 win over Arkansas. She said the Cats have a hard road ahead in the NCAA Tournament, but “we believe in ourselves.”

Assistant Syracuse coach fired after allegation Basketball coach accused of sexual abuse By Jim Baumbach MCT
Longtime Syracuse assistant men’s basketball coach Bernie Fine was fired Sunday night after a third man accused the coach of sexually abusing him as a teenager. “At the Fine direction of Chancellor Cantor, Bernie Fine’s employment with Syracuse University has been terminated, effective immediately,” Kevin Quinn, the school’s senior vice president for public affairs, said in a written statement. Fine, 65, who had been an assistant on coach Jim Boeheim’s staff for 35 years, had been on administrative leave since two former Syracuse ball boys went public Nov. 17 on ESPN with their accusations that the longtime coach had sexually abused them in the 1980s and ‘90s. Fine had responded by calling the accusations “patently false.” He could not be reached for comment Sunday night and the upstate law firm representing him did not respond to messages seeking comment. Boeheim, who fiercely defended Fine after ESPN aired the ball boys’ allegations, last night called the firing “appropriate” in a statement released by the university. Fine’s firing came on the same day the Syracuse PostStandard reported that a 23-
year-old from Lewiston, Maine, recently told police he was molested by Fine in a Pittsburgh hotel room in 2002. Syracuse police have not filed charges against Fine but began an investigation after the initial report aired nearly two weeks ago. The PostStandard also reported that police spent seven hours at Fine’s home Friday executing a search warrant. A police spokesman did not return a message seeking comment. One of the accusers, former ball boy Bobby Davis, who is now 39, has given police a tape recording of a 2002 phone conversation with Fine’s wife, Laurie, in which she admits concerns over her husband’s behavior. ESPN and the Post-Standard also have copies of the taped conversation. “The issue at hand is that he had no business doing what he did with you,” Laurie Fine is purported to have said on the tape. She also at one point admits her husband “needs help” and “thinks he is above the law.” On the tape, Davis talks to Fine’s wife about the abuse that he alleges took place, and at no point does Laurie
“
Fine dispute the account. Davis alleges that Laurie once witnessed one of the incidents through a basement window. In an email to the university community Nov. 18, Cantor said Davis initially had reported the allegations to the university in 2005. But after performing its own investigation, she said, “we were unable to find any corroboration of the allegations, the case was closed.” Boeheim, who hired Fine in 1975, initially accused the former Syracuse ball boys of trying to capitalize financially on the publicity surrounding the Penn State child sex abuse scandal. Boeheim backed off this comments Sunday night, saying he is “personally very shocked because I have never witnessed any of the activities that have been alleged.” “What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found,” Boeheim said. “I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse.”
The issue at hand is that he had no business doing what he did with you.” Laurie Fine, Bernie Fine’s wife
