CORRECTION An article in Thursday's Kernel incorrectly stated that the documentary “Freedom Riders,” based on the 1960s group of the same name, would be shown on campus Thursday night. The event sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the Student Activities Board was to feature the Rev. Alphonso Petway, an original member of the Freedom Riders, who would be talking about his experiences. The documentary was not shown. The Kernel regrets the error.

International students like freedom of U.S. Have you ever imagined yourself studying in a different country for a few weeks? A few months? Or maybe even a few years? That is exactly where Bhargavi Jayaraman saw herself when she made plans for college. Jayaraman is an 18year-old freshman at UK from Zambia studying MEGAN chemistry with the twoBOWLES year pharmacy plan, hoping to go to pharmacy Kernel columnist school. Her biggest reason for coming to the U.S. to study is because of the opportunities and experiences that this culture and its independence provides. I sat down with Jayaraman because I wanted to further understand her culture compared with mine. When comparing Zambia to the U.S., she said that the U.S. is a lot more free and we get to have choices. However, in Zam-
bia there is a lot more diversity. She went to an international high school and got to see many different cultures, but in Kentucky especially she is not finding the diversity she is used to at home. I really wanted to know the biggest difference between Zambia and the U.S., and when I asked Jayaraman she said: “I have always been taught to be open to other cultures and people. Here people don’t seem to have that same kind of openness, not only at UK but also at other universities.” From Jayaraman’s point of view the U.S. is popular, big and has a good lifestyle. She wanted to experience America like she saw in the movies. When you look around campus and see an international student, go up and say “hi.” Many are eager to learn the American culture and like some of you, they know no one here. Take that first step and make yourself valuable and rich in knowledge by showing interest in someone different from you.

UK’s Academy for Creative Excellence, a performing arts program for young opera students, won “Outstanding Production” in the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta. A.C.E. is an organization made up of faculty from the College of Fine Arts and students ranging from first to 12th grades. These students worked together to create a 15-minute production for the 3,000 students in attendance, as well as the producer of NBC. “We were so proud to put A.C.E. on the map in the educational musical theater world at the Junior Theater Festival,” Mary Joy Nelson, program and vocal director, said. The non-competition based festival focused solely on creating and showing the musical theater world to youth and help them understand that it is more than just a
career, Nelson said. “There is this huge industry that they can fit into,” Nelson said. “We are here to show them the bigger world of the performing arts.” After the festival, Patrick Garr, an A.C.E. student, received the accolade of “Outstanding Male Performer.” “It’s very apparent you all are very well-versed dancers, singers, actors,” Nick Pramik, a former Broadway performer, said of A.C.E. “It’s so good to see good young people be such good actors at such a young age. It’s thrilling to watch.” Lilly Meekin auditioned and won the part of Tessie in Charles Strouse’s “Annie.” She was given the opportunity to perform alongside students from across the U.S. in honor of the 50th anniversary of “Annie.” “It is encouraging to hear the kids are on the right track,” Nelson said. “We pour our hearts into the program, and to the kids.”

3 things to watch: UK at Vandy
PHOTO BY QUIANNA LIGE | STAFF
RIGHT: Anthony Davis, shown during the South Carolina game on Saturday, is a contender for three major annual awards and No.1 NBA draft pick.
1. 3-pointers. This was the key to the game on Tuesday against Florida, and it will be against Vanderbilt as well. The Commodores lead the SEC in 3-point field-goal percentage (42.1 percent) since conference play started. UK defended Florida well from the perimeter, holding the Gators to 22.2 percent. But the outside defense was augmented by the interior defense. The Gators looked scared to go inside and challenge Anthony Davis, and as they extended their offense outward, UK was able to follow. UK head coach John Calipari’s message has been the same with any team that AARON leans on 3-pointers for points (Vanderbilt SMITH gets 35.8 percent of its total points from Kernel behind the arc, the 22nd-highest rate in the columnist nation): You can’t stop them from taking threes. You can only guard them effectively and hope they don’t catch fire. In the last four games, Vanderbilt hasn’t exactly been doing that. Its 3-point percentages in those four contests: 31.6, 28.6, 35.0, 38.0. If UK holds the Commodores in that range, it will be a long way toward a win. 2. Three-headed monster. Vanderbilt relies on its three star players — center Festus Ezeli, forward Jeffery Taylor and guard John Jenkins — on the offensive end. They complement each other well, and it will require UK to play good team defense,
not just win the individual matchups, to keep them in check. Jenkins and Taylor rank 1-2 in the SEC in points per game (Jenkins averages 19.7 per game; Taylor averages 17.8). Jenkins takes up most of the offense, taking 30 percent of his team’s shots when he’s on the floor. He was the Cat killer last season, scoring a then-career high 32 points. Taylor has emerged this year as a dominant scorer, as well. “Man, has he gotten better,” Calipari said. “He’s a more confident player than he was a year ago and he was a good player a year ago.” A year ago, UK held him to four points. That likely won’t happen again. “He’s much more aggressive finishing around the basket,” Calipari said. “I don’t know if there’s an answer for him.” UK will need to find one. 3. Anthony Davis’ push for national Player of the Year. The freshman could go for the clean sweep of the major awards — Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year and No. 1 NBA draft pick. He’s got two locked up, and he’s quickly ascending to the top of the Player of the Year list. Most pundits have Davis and Kansas’ Thomas Robinson at the top. Davis is averaging 18 points, eight rebounds and 5.5 blocks over the last four games. Turn in a similarly game-altering performance against Vanderbilt — a team with enough inside presence to challenge him — and Davis takes a step further toward owning the college basketball awards.

3 signees will play in all-star game AARON SMITH asmith@kykernel.com Alex Poythress and Archie Goodwin, two UK signees in the class of 2013, were named to the McDonald’s All-American game. Both are considered five-star, top-20 prospects by multiple recruiting sites. They will play on opposite teams. Their spots on the roster follows them being named to the Jordan Brand Classic, the other notable high school all-star game. In that contest, they will play for the same team. The game will be played March 28 at the United Center in Chicago. UK has now had 33 McDonald’s All-Americans in the 35year history of the game. UK Hoops also had a future player named to the McDonald’s game. Signee Janee Thompson, a 5-foot-7 guard who is rated the No. 6 point guard and No. 35 player overall by ESPN, was selected. It’s the third straight year UK Hoops has had a player selected to the game.
UK wants fans to stop selling Davis posters AARON SMITH asmith@kykernel.com Anthony Davis posters have been selling for more than $100 on eBay. On Thursday — two days after the Davis posters were passed out to everyone in Rupp Arena for free — the highest going price was $150. UK’s compliance office sent cease-and-desist letters to sellers. DeWayne Peevy, a UK athletics spokesman, said it is a normal procedure taken by the university in instances of materials that contain a student athlete’s im-
age to ensure no NCAA violations are committed. The main goal is to stop people from profiting off a student athlete’s image and to clearly show that UK is not condoning the sale of such materials, Peevy said. Thirty thousand posters were made. UK said Tuesday it was not planning to sell them through the athletic department. After the game Tuesday, Davis said he liked the look of the posters. It appears everyone else does, too. 02.10.12 | weekend timeout | 5

SEC competitors play big game with big audience
It isn’t March yet, so Vandy will still be a threat. Although Vandy has strength both inside and on the perimeter, the Cats are playing their best basketball of the year. If they are going to lose in the conference season, this is the strongest possibility. I still say the Cats hold on, barely. —Les Johns
Oh, yeah, this should be a fun one Saturday. It’s UK and Vanderbilt, two teams traditionally in the upper echelon of the SEC. That’s usually good enough. But this installment features a little extra.

UK 73, Vandy 61 All right, Cats, I’ll take the bait. UK seems to have figured out how to play like a No. 1 team. If fans can give the Cats a homely feeling in Nashville then I believe talent and defense wins out again.

Monologues celebrate women’s lows, highs JENNIFER ABREU jabreu@kykernel.com It may be hard for some, especially men, to understand why women anticipate Valentine’s Day so much. But there are other, more sensitive and personal questions that men find hard to answer when it comes to, well, women. UK will perform “The Vagina Monologues” on Saturday and Sunday at the Worsham Theater to answer some of these questions. A play that debuted in 1996, “The Vagina Monologues” consists of monologues that portray the lows and highs women have with their vaginas. The monologues were written by Eve Ensler with the intention to make women feel more comfortable with their bodies and, most importantly, raise awareness about violence and abuse against women. With about 15 distinct acts, the play talks about light, comic subjects such as love, sex and appearance; to heavier, more sensitive challenges, such as rape and abuse. “Some monologues are happier, portraying love and pleasure,” Eriauna Stratton, elementary education major, said. “Others are sad, including rape and other things we don’t usually talk about as a society.” The production is part of the V-Day initiative — a world-
wide campaign that takes place between Feb. 12 and April Howell said the show will not only be entertaining, but 30 to raise awareness about and prevent violence against will bring to the audience a valuable lesson. women. “You’ll learn a little about what women go through, not Through various events, V-Day benefits institutions and just here, but around the world,” she said. “The monologues resource centers for women. bring up topics that we usually don’t hear about.” This year’s production at UK will benefit Voices for Stratton said she expects a diverse crowd.

More than a rave: Disco Ball gives back KAYLA PICKRELL kpickrell@kykernel.com The Beaux Arts Ball Foundation is premiering the Disco Ball this weekend as a precursor to the annual Beaux Arts Ball. “We’re calling this the pre-party for the Beaux Arts Ball,” Melissa Long, public relations director, said. The Fall Ball, Disco Ball and Beaux Arts Ball are all separate installations to the foundation, which focuses on providing different forms of the arts to the Lexington community. “These events (Fall Ball and Disco Ball) allow us to put on a bigger event in the spring,” Long said.

This year, Club Dub will be the headliner for the Disco Ball. “I hope it’s a kickoff to getting people excited for this year’s Beaux Arts Ball,” Jay Stevenson, a design and architecture freshman, said. “It is a much needed break from school.”

Last year’s Beaux Arts Ball, pictured above, was April 9 in the Pepper Warehouse. Saturday’s Disco Ball will be a precursor to the spring ball. After the school year, the funds raised from the events will be donated to three beneficiaries amounting to a total of $15,000 to $20,000. In the past few years, donations have been given to organizations such as the AIDS Foundation and Sunflower Kids, according to Long. “We are wanting to foster the art community in Lexington,” Long said. “It has really shown how great the
community is.” Another part of the funds will be given as a scholarship to a student in the College of Design. “Most people see it as a rave,” Emily Bottom, financial director, said. “We want people to see this as more than a rave; this is a chance to get involved with the community.”
UK Apollo will be later than usual, but date still not public ASHLEY HANCOX features@kykernel.com February will be here and gone before you know it and UK Apollo is nowhere to be found. UK Apollo has been a campus tradition for two decades. The Black Student Union has been over it for more than 40 years. It is a statewide talent show for UK that showcases talent around the region and sells out more than 1,000 seats. The event happens every spring semester, usually around February. Students are curious as to why it is taking so long for this year’s date to be released.
“There are a lot of changes this year,” said Unique Young, president of the Black Student Union. “We wanted to change it up. But trust me, it will still be epic and a great success.” Young said a date has been set but it has not been released. “We will let everyone know in ample amount of time,” she said. Adrian Wilson, a human nutrition freshman, said she did not think Apollo would happen this year because she hadn’t heard much about it. “I feel like it needs to be publicized more because not many students are aware of it,” Wilson said.
Apollo is a campus event and open to anyone who would like to participate. Auditions will be held Feb. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. and Feb. 25 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Center Theater in the Student Center. The Black Student Union also conducts meetings every other Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in the Student Center. More flyers and information regarding the UK Apollo will be available soon. “Hurry and tell us the secret date,” Wilson said. “We’re all waiting.” 02.10.12 | weekend timeout| 9

West suggests the audience come in with an open mind to enjoy this roller coaster ride. “Sometimes you will laugh hysterically,

others you might cry,” West said. “You might get angry; maybe even be shocked at the extent the actor will take the performance.” Theater junior Britany Geoghegan said the show encourages women to take pride in their figures. “The show is about women not being ashamed of who they are and what their bodies are like,” she explained. Geoghegan’s piece is called “The Flood,” about a woman with past bad experiences who has replaced sex with other things she finds pleasurable. “It’s not a regular show,” Howell said. “It’s a movement.” Those who plan to attend will have three opportunities to do so: Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Kanye seeks general Grammy Kanye West has a great batting average when it comes to the Grammys. Before this year, he had been nominated 29 times and won 14. Sunday night, he’s up for seven awards, making him the mostnominated artist at the show for the fourth time in the past seven years. But West has yet to win a Grammy in the general category, which holds the four major prizes — record, song and album of the year and best new artist. This year, he only has one major nomination — a song of the year bid for “All of the Lights” — to go with five nominations in the hip-hop category and one nod for best packaging. So what’s up with the Grammys’ hotcold relationship with ‘Ye? Well, it has to do with the rules. Nominations for the general category are handled by a special Grammy council, set up to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing nominations of the past, and voted on by all
the members of the Recording Academy. Nominations in all the other categories are made and voted on by academy members who specialize in that category. In other words, West is beloved by his fellow hip-hop artists, who shower him with nominations and Grammy victories year after year. Among the academy voters at large, though, West’s popularity isn’t as solid. The result is the weird split, which will likely continue tonight. West takes it all in stride, though. “I appreciate having the most nominations at the Grammys but I feel so conflicted by the fact that award shows sometimes are completely ... illogical,” West tweeted last month. “I wouldn’t have the prestige I have if it wasn’t partially for the Grammys’ validation, and I honor that.”
