Trustees approve dorm on Haggin Field Private company will finance, own building By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com
The Board of Trustees approved a ground lease agreement Tuesday, allowing a private company to build and maintain a 600-bed, $26 million residence hall on Haggin Field. In a unanimous vote, the trustees approved the first
phase of the agreement with Education Realty Trust, a private firm from Memphis, Tenn. UK will enter a 50-year contract with EdR, with the possibility to extend the contract to 60 or 75 years, said Angie Martin, UK’s treasurer and vice president of finance. There is also an option to terminate the contract.
UK Residence Life will manage the new residence hall, but EdR will pay a Residence Life Fee of $639 per bed each academic year for ResLife programming. Martin said the university has “been on a very fast timeline.” The university hopes to sign the ground lease agreement in March, she said, and
will then start working on agreements for the future of all of UK’s housing stock. Martin said 700 students are turned away each year because of a lack of space. The Haggin Field dorm will open in August 2013, with construction beginning in April 2012, and will mostly house honors students, as well as have high-tech classrooms and office space. “It’s so much more than the residence halls,” Micah
Fielden, student body president and trustee, said. Residence halls often include living-learning communities and classroom space. “There is a lot more that goes into residence halls than just beds,” he said. EdR came with 100 percent equity, meaning no debt, and Martin said the university needed money and needed it quickly. “We have a lot of capital needs on this campus,” she

Key player Senior guard Darius Miller turned up intensity late in the game in the final six minutes. Miller went from scoreless to connecting for 12 points, including three 3pointers to lead the Cats on a 20-4 run. But freshman forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 18 points and was strong on the boards, nabbing 10 rebounds.

John Harwood to give Creason Lecture CNBC correspondent will deliver journalism talk By Genevieve Adams news@kykernel.com
Every year the university hosts a member of the journalism community to reach out to students about the issues concerning today’s media. Since 1977, the Joe Creason Lecture Series has attracted students, faculty and the general public with its prestigious speakers and pertinent context. The Creason Lecture, put on by the School of Journalism and Telecommunications in conjunction with the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame, is meant to honor the advancements in journalism. On Wednesday, April 11, John Harwood, a veteran in the journalist field and Chief Washington Correspondent for CNBC, will deliver the lecture. He has also worked at
The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Harwood, a Louisville native, is returning to his Kentucky roots to talk about a specific issue in the journalism community and the media’s role in today’s society. Harwood has made a name for himself through his coverage of multiple elections and his weekly column in The New York Times, “The Caucus.” He has also appeared regularly on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and “Washington Week,” a public affairs program on PBS. “After we honor six journalists for their outstanding careers, we hear from a leading national journalist about the issues in our craft,” said Al Cross, director of the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues, about the event. “Because that craft is an essential element to democracy, the lecture is a great opportunity for the campus community

index
and the wider public to consider those issues and interact with the visitor.” As a member of the journalism world himself, Cross said he is excited for the university to hear from such a prominent figure. “John Harwood is one of the leading journalists in Washington and we are very pleased to welcome him back to his native state as the Creason lecturer,” Cross said.

Haggin Field could be less expensive than other premium UK housing. “The actual cost to the student for that facility could be less than what our older dorms are now … for quite an increased amount of space,” Britton said.

The exhibit will present more than 200 artifacts on the life and legacy of Malcolm X through original letters, handbills, photographs, newspapers, magazines, figurines and other memorabilia. “The exhibit provides a visual and provides a remembrance for the people like Malcolm X who gave us what we have now,” Edmund Allen Jr., a biology sophomore, said. The exhibition will display the artifacts in chrono-
logical order, beginning with objects from slavery and finishing with Malcolm X’s impact on the leading hip-hop artists in America today. “This event is a great way to celebrate Black History Month at the UK,” Allen said. The UK Black Student Union and Diversity Education sponsor the free event. The exhibit will be shown on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Student Center room 206. “This is a rare opportunity to discover interesting facts and stories about American history in a fun and exciting way,” Allen said.
Other notes from the meeting John Wilson of the behavioral science department at UK was sworn in as the new faculty trustee.

Allman Bros. headline festival BALTIMORE — The Allman Brothers and the Flaming Lips will headline this year’s All Good Festival at its new location in Columbus, Ohio, Maryland-based Walther Productions said Monday. The jam band festival moved from its longtime West Virginia location in November after a fatal accident at last year’s event left a young woman dead, resulting in three wrongful-death lawsuits. Coincidentally, a U.S. District judge said Monday that all three lawsuits will be tried together at a trial that has been tentatively set for Aug. 19. All Good’s 15th edition ended in tragedy when a truck careened into a camp of tents where attendees slept, killing a South Carolina woman, Nicole Faris Miller. Her friends Yen Ton and Elizabeth Rose Doran were injured. In three separate lawsuits filed in September and October, Ton, Doran, and Kim S. Miller, Nicole’s father, accused Walther; his company; Marvin’s Mountaintop and several of the festival’s vendors, including parking

It also filed a cross-claim against the festival’s security company, Event Staffing Inc., charging the independent contractor with negligence. When it announced All Good would move to Ohio, Walther Productions did not mention the lawsuits, saying only the festival grounds at Marvin’s Mountaintops, had created “challenges and frustrations” for fans and the grounds’ neighbors.

New trustee UK’s alcohol policy: Get the facts speaks up early By Drew M. Smith
opinions@kykernel.com
Tuesday was the first Board of Trustees meeting for new faculty trustee John Wilson. Wilson, of UK’s behavioral science department, wasted no time in diving into discussion, asking questions about proposed changes to the university’s governing regulations. Irina Voro, the other faculty trustee, backed Wilson, saying as faculty trustees they wanted to be more involved in the discussions of the proposed changes, which will now be discussed again in March. Sheila Brothers, the staff representative to the Board, also represented her constituents well. When the proposal to approve a ground lease agreement for privatized housing was discussed, Brothers asked about the UK staff members who currently work in the residence halls. She said she wanted to make sure all current staff will be reassigned to different locations on campus. Bob Wiseman, vice president of facilities, said all existing employees will see no changes in employment. It is refreshing to see trustees, especially Wilson as a new member, take the initiative to ask a question or make a statement that leads to more discussion before a decision is made. From our first impression, it looks like Wilson will be a good replacement for outspoken former faculty trustee Joe Peek.

This letter is a response to a Feb. 20 column titled “UK’s ‘dry’ campus unfair, ineffective.” While I understand Mr. Blackerby’s intent, I would like to point out a few concerns with his points of argument. The information cited to defend the article was from a publication written in 2009 with data collected in 2007 from a sample of 170 students. For an institution with nearly 5,000 residents, it is highly debatable whether this is a representative sample size. Many trends and policies have changed since that research was published. In addition, the intent of the research was to discuss the issues surrounding underage drinking and what we as a campus can do to decrease it and associated problems. Nowhere in the research did it state establishing a “wet” policy for our campus as a plausible and effective solution. The article actually suggests ideas such as increasing awareness of the issue through Residence Life education — something UK has done since the research was gathered. As it currently stands, more than 92 percent of our residential student population is younger than 21 years of age, including undergraduate students involved in Residence Life. Even if our policy changed to a “wet” campus, this population would still not be allowed to drink on campus. Of those who are found in violation of our alco-
hol policy over the past three years, 97 percent are younger than 21 years of age. These statistics indicate our current policy does not place undue grievance upon those who are of legal age. The article also made reference to the current alcohol policy and subsequent institutional response. Although the C.H.O.I.C.E.S. program was functioning when the research was performed, that specific program has not been around since the 2009-10 academic year. We evaluated the program and found its format was not effective in helping change drinking patterns. Our office has since changed the educational responses to vary depending on the particular incident rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach. If anyone is interested in learning the true impact of “dry” or “wet” campus policies, a handful of research articles exist in peer-reviewed journals, though they are not particular to UK. I also suggest that anyone interested in signing the petition mentioned in the previous article actually take the time to read the cited research in its entirety. If you are truly interested in changing policy, research some “wet” institutions of comparable size and demographics to see what they do, how policy is enforced and monitored and the level of increase in crime and violations (if any). As an institution of higher education, I believe there is nothing wrong with dialogue on policy creation, as policies tend to be more dynamic than static. It would be in everyone’s best interest to know as much as they can
with accurate data to make an informed decision. Since the information for the previous piece was gathered in 2007, the Office of Substance Education & Responsibility has created a variety of new programs geared to making our campus safer and healthier. We have made changes to the educational response for policy violators over the past three years (Coach, Prime and Drug Education class). The result from the new format has seen an increase in more responsible drinking and drug use behaviors. The institution also mandates the completion of AlcoholEdu for all new, non-transfer students who are younger than 21 years of age. Though the effectiveness for this program may be debatable, it has allowed us to obtain more accurate information on behaviors and trends for our students as a whole so we can better address needs. Our peer education group, the Student Wellness Ambassadors, provide education on alcohol, drugs and mental wellness as many of these issues are interrelated. These programs are provided to organizations, residence halls, as well as 8th- through 12thgraders in the community through the public and private schools. If anyone is interested in learning more about the Student Wellness Ambassadors, please feel free to contact the group’s adviser Rachel Carnahan at Rachel.Carnahan@uky.edu. Drew M. Smith is the director of the Office of Substance Education & Responsibility. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

‘August’ combines students, profs, alumni By Kayla Pickrell kpickrell@kykernel.com
A full house will occupy the Guignol Theatre Thursday for the opening of “August: Osage County.” “August” is the third play of UK Theatre’s season, written by Tracy Letts. “This is a really contemporary look at a traditional American family,” Michael Sheehy, a theatre sophomore playing the character Bill, said. “It looks at dark issues in a comedic way.” Along with the student-actors, alumni of the theater department and Russell Henderson, a theater professor, are actors as well. Because the play features three generations of a family, the first generation is only fitting to be played by alumni.
Vic Chaney, director of “August,” said, “I wanted the students to be exposed to what the alums have to offer as experience. They need to get used to it.” Alumni Brad Wills and Theresa Willis serve as examples and mentors for the students to understand the theater industry. “I don’t want them leaving school blind to how the industry operates,” Chaney said. Chaney said the set is realistic, with real food, and the actors will be breaking props on stage. “The audience will be able to smell the food on the table,” Chaney said. The stage will be set in thrust, meaning the audience will be sitting on the stage, in the very living room of the family.
The actors have been ing the mindset of someone “This play establishes the pus,” Sheehy said. “It also working on the play seven who is significantly older UK theatre department as a serves to enhance UK as a days a week for the past than I,” Sheehy said, “who is strong artistic force on cam- strong, artistic campus.” month and six days a week having trouble with his wife since the beginning of January, and has a 14-year-old daughsaid Elizabeth Greenfield, an ter.” arts administration senior.

UK boasts 3 southpaws Left-handed pitchers ‘different in our own little ways’ By David Schuh dschuh@kykernel.com
Most starting rotations you see in baseball will have a balanced distribution of right- and left-handed pitchers. This gives a team the variety to throw either one when facing an opposing lineup heavy with hitters from either side of the plate. UK head coach Gary Henderson isn’t provided with such a luxury this season. His weekend rotation of Taylor Rogers, Jerad Grundy and Corey Littrell are all left-handers. But when asked, Henderson didn’t seem too concerned about it before the season started. “It’s a question you get just because it is a little unique,” Henderson said. “With the way our ballpark
sits, it’s an absolute benefit. Now, if they don’t throw strike one and can’t command the outer half then there’s no value. But if they can do those things, they are a real value.” So far, he has every reason to feel good about the situation. After returning from Spartanburg, S.C., with a 3-0 record, the weekend rotation dominated. In wins over Wofford, Eastern Michigan and University of South Carolina Upstate, UK gave up one earned run in 18.2 innings — an ERA of 0.48. The competition wasn’t necessarily on par with the SEC teams the Cats will face in the coming months. But it could prove to be a point of confidence going forward. “There were a lot of doubts as to how three left-

handers would fare,” Rogers said. “But we all are different in our own little ways.” The trio will have its first real test this weekend when Buffalo comes to Lexington for a three-game series. “I’m primarily interested in their ability to throw strikes low in the strike zone with multiple pitches,” Henderson said. “If they can do that, then we can build off of something.”
