We’ll see you after spring break online
A different kind of break Patterson students head to Chicago By Brandon Goodwin bgoodwin@kykernel.com
Graduate students will be experiencing drinking, food, energy and drugs over this spring break. But seriously. The Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce will be taking 38 graduate students to Chicago to meet with top executives from BP, MillerCoors, Orville Redenbacher’s and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly to understand how multinational corporations handle international business and diplomacy. International security major Trevor Sutherland said the upcoming three-day trip offers students an opportunity to learn outside of a classroom setting. “When I was with the federal government, we would do some of this. It’s important for leaders to be in contact with how things really are,” said Ambassador Carey Cavanaugh, director and professor at the Patterson school. At each of the group’s four destinations, students will ask questions of everyone from production line managers to CEOs of multinational corporations. This is the second year the school has organized a spring break trip. Faculty regularly plan visits to nearby international businesses like the Toyota factory in Georgetown, Ky. Those trips occur every other month, Cavanaugh said. “But if you really want to cover all the sectors of the economy, you have to go further,” Cavanaugh said. Of the many stops the group plans to go, Cavanaugh said the most surprising may be the Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn plant. The plant’s popcorn sales are growing, especially in foreign markets. The students will also meet with the U.S. Popcorn Board. There, they will see how the group is encourag-

Provost a chancellor finalist UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy was named one of four finalists Wednesday for the University of Massachusetts Amherst chancellor, according to The Herald News. U K spokesman Jay Blanton confirmed Subbaswamy Subbaswamy is a finalist, but said he did not have a comment at the time. “The provost would be an outstanding Chancellor at UMass Amherst and would be a terrific fit,” UK President Eli Capilouto said in a statement. “We wish him only the best of luck in this process.” In January, Subbaswamy was one of two finalists for the presidency position at the University of Utah. He was one of two finalists for a top position at Iowa State in September, and runner-up for a position at University of Illinois in 2010. The finalists will visit UMass next week, and UMass President Robert Caret will suggest a candidate to the UMass board within two weeks, according to The Herald News. STAFF REPORT

Scouts from a number of NFL teams were present in Nutter Field House Wednesday morning for the UK football program’s Pro Day. Seniors from last year’s UK football team worked out and spoke with scouts, trying to make it onto the radar of an NFL franchise. Among those who worked out on Wednesday were linebackers Danny Trevathan and Ronnie Sneed, wide receiver Matt Roark, offensive linemen Chandler Burden and Billy Joe Murphy, defensive backs Randall Burden and Anthony Mosley, and punter Ryan Tydlacka. Safety Winston Guy
did not work out for scouts because of a sore groin he said he suffered a week before the NFL combine in February. Trevathan also limited himself in workouts due to a sore hamstring. In the drills he did participate in, Trevathan showed a lot of the same qualities that made him the SEC’s leading tackler in 2010 and 2011. He showed good footwork, impressive lateral quickness and good hands in drills, backing up his reputation as a quick linebacker with a nose for the ball carrier that can also hold his own in coverage. Trevathan’s biggest knock, his lack of size compared to most elite NFL linebackers, still remains a concern, but Trevathan did not do anything Wednesday
that would move him significantly down a draft board. Sneed worked out alongside Trevathan for much of the morning, but showed a very different skill set. Sneed is a much larger and physical linebacker who showed good form in the 40 yard dash and the vertical jump (results of player workouts were not released to the media). In footwork and coverage drills, Sneed seemed a bit behind Trevathan, and Sneed’s ability to cover ground and keep up with opposing tight ends and running backs in coverage is still in question. “Every little thing really counts because they’re always watching,” Sneed said. “You want See PRO DAY on page 2
UK baseball defeats Marshall, 7-3 Team remains undefeated at 13-0 By Dan Collins sports@kykernel.com
Marshall University was unable to derail the Cats at Cliff Hagan Stadium Wednesday evening. Sophomore Matt Reida led UK with a career-high 3-for-4 performance, including an RBI double. Freshman pitcher A.J. Reed went 2-0, with seven strike-outs in the first five innings. UK shut Marshall down in the first inning, allowing no hits, with the Cats at bat. Marshall made its first of ten pitching changes after its pitcher
Joe McGillicuddy gave up a single and walked two batters to load the bases. Freshman J.T. Riddle brought in freshman Austin Cousino off a lob to right field, earning the Cats a 1-0 lead. Marshall gained the upper-hand by scoring two runs in the second inning, however Senior Thomas McCarthy responded in the bottom of the third with a scorching double deep to left field, bringing in two runners. UK allowed Marshall to score See BASEBALL on page 4

‘Friends with Kids’ a shallow movie A latecomer to the still-booming genre of comedies about 40-ish adolescents facing adult decisions, “Friends with Kids” tries to fit in by borrowing the cast of “Bridesmaids” and imitating the irreverent vibe of “Knocked Up.” Those films, however, had heart and sensitivity, something sorely lacking in this crass, shallow cash-in. It features four “Bridesmaids” actors playing married couples with children: Kristen Wiig and Jon Hamm are Missy and Ben, whose once-hot sex life is now cooling, while Maya Rudolph and Chris O'Dowd are the bickering Leslie and Alex. Writer-director Jennifer Westfeldt (the 2001 indie hit “Kissing Jessica Stein”) casts herself as Julie, and Adam Scott (NBC's “Parks and Recreation”) as Jason, two lifelong buddies who decide to platonically make a child and skip the whole strained-relationship thing. These two are the film’s biggest problems and they’re the lead characters. Jason is an insensitive creep who treats sex like a cash

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — Schedule for success. Include romance, and block out time for the unexpected. Prioritize children, creativity, social life and your sweetheart. Indulge.

transaction and uses repugnant language when discussing it, while Julie is such a doormat that she agrees to watch hard-core porn before doing the deed with her oldest friend. Scott, who helped liven up Will Ferrell's “Step Brothers,” here looks completely dead-eyed, as if he secretly hates the person he's playing. It's impossible to see how he would attract even a punching bag like Julie (played by Westfeldt as a kind of Aniston-Zellweger combo plate). Westfeldt saddles Hamm (her real-life partner) and Wiig with a crumbling-marriage subplot an odd use of their comedic talents and nearly forgets about O'Dowd and Rudolph, the movie’s most likable couple. (Ed Burns and Megan Fox are also wasted in stock roles as the “other” guy and girl.) That means we’re stuck mostly with the emotionally frozen Jason and the hopelessly passive Julie. When the film finally fades out, you may find yourself worrying about their child.

There's no reason not to budget for what you want. Get into the leisure life. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — A quiet day might suit you just fine, if it can be arranged.

to come out and produce and just do the best you can.” Burden and Mosley both showed excellent speed from the defensive back position, but neither has any more than an outside chance at being drafted. The same can be said for wide receiver Roark, who ran well but will still be better remembered for quarterbacking the Cats’ to a victory over Tennessee. All three may find themselves invited to training camps as late-round selections or undrafted free agents, but the future remains uncertain. “You just try to do your best for the day,” Mosley said. “I think I did pretty good. As a group, it seemed like we put up some pretty good numbers so I’m excited about it.” When asked who he thought might surprise the
Correction An article in Wednesday’s Kernel incorrectly quoted Stephen Bilas, a candidate for Student Government president. This is the correct quote. “While I’ve been involved with Student Government for the past three years, the decision to run with Mary Katherine came this past summer because we saw an opportunity to extend student representation,” Bilas said in an email to the Kernel. “We wanted to involve individuals who otherwise would not have considered seeking office and unite students with fresh ideas and diverse perspectives. Our team’s effort has been and will continue to be a collaborative one.” To report an error, call the Kentucky Kernel at 257-1915 or e-mail tmoak@kykernel.com.
scouts with his performance, UK head football coach Joker Phillips just shrugged and said “it doesn’t really matter what I think, it’s really up to those (scouts), those 32 teams.” And those 32 teams remain enamored with Trevathan and Guy, the Cats’ two most coveted prospects throughout the draft process. Both Trevathan and Guy
were among the 250 prospects from across the country invited to the NFL’s annual scouting combine in February. At the combine, Trevathan measured in at 6’0, 237 lbs. and received a grade of 68.7, according to NFL.com. Guy was recorded at 6’1”, 218 lbs at the combine and received a score of 50.0.

Dorms in need of quicker, Bilas-Kington announce Student Government platform more reliable Internet By Kyle Hermann
STEPHEN BILAS Guest columnist
Mary-Katherine and I enthusiastically announce our candidacies for Student Government president and vice president not because they fit in a three-year plan, but because we wholeheartedly believe our ticket truly represents the diverse interests of this student body. Our experience in Student Government is not a hindrance, but rather an unparalleled qualification. As an elected senator and chief of staff/comptroller, MaryKatherine and I have engaged generally underrepresented student organizations and managed a $600,000 budget, respectively. It is this unique, unrivaled balance of executive and legislative experience that sets us apart in this election.
The positions we seek are tasked with representing this university’s students and their interests, using appropriated funds to provide unique, enjoyable opportunities and experiences. We campaign to represent our peers because we believe our platform establishes an affordable, effective plan for the next year. We are eager to work with UK Athletics to implement a ticket lottery that rewards loyalty, but we recognize Student Government does not solely dictate such an effort. We intend to persistently engage UK Athletics, voicing the concerns of neglected student fans to ensure they are fully represented in future discussions. We are focused on improving class registration. We plan to develop a system that aligns student needs with teacher expectations. The last few weeks, MaryKatherine and I have met with student organizations to measure what matters to our students. We are passionate about
student representation and believe the most effective way to address equality is to approach organizations and establish new relationships with groups generally overlooked. Only then can we ensure those organizations and their initiatives enjoy the funding and resources that produce success. This campaign is not about me, or Mary-Katherine, and it is not limited to our initiatives. It is, instead, a blend of passionate students — young and old, experienced and new, to Student Government — and their ideas to enrich the student experience. We join in an effort to enhance worthwhile opportunities and invest in affordable new programs that will not jeopardize current student fee rates, and we vow to represent all students across this expansive campus and their equally expansive concerns and goals.

As a student living in the dorms, all I ever hear about is how bad the Internet is. I feel this issue is being swept under the rug and desperately needs to be addressed. As an engineering student, I go to school six days a week. I have homework due online every night except for Saturday, so it is amazing to me how bad the wireless, and even the ethernet, is in the dorms. Sometimes it takes upwards of 10 minutes just to open my Gmail. The wireless is constantly flickering on and off, and even the wired connection will turn off and make me unplug and plug it back it to reestablish the connection.
The math website I have to go to for homework takes forever to load, as does checking my email, connecting to blackboard or MyUK, etc. I am aware that WiFi is bad, but the WiFi in the dorms is absolutely ridiculous to the point that it is almost unusable. So I beg of you, anybody in the IT department, please fix the wireless, and even the ethernet. Doing online homework is almost unbearable in the dorms. Sure, I could go to the library, but for every single 10-question homework assignment? Please, PLEASE do something about the Internet. Kyle Hermann is an engineering student.

Books line the walls, the floors and the shelves of the antiquarian bookstore labeled, “Glover’s Bookery,” located off of South Broadway. Opened in 1978, Glover’s Bookery houses more than 60,000 books, the oldest being a copy of the Holy Bible from 1562. John Glover, the owner, said he decided to pursue his business out of chance when he was a graduate student at UK. “Seeing people and talking about books is what I enjoy,” Glover said. He opened a weekend bookshop in the ‘70s using only the books Glover and his wife had collected over the years. His 300-book start has grown to about 60,000 in store and 15,000 online. He started online book selling in the late ‘80s through “Z-Books” on Amazon that has now changed into “Amazon Marketplace.” “We were there at the
very beginning when Amazon started letting businesses sell used books,” Glover said. When he opened shop on South Broadway, he was surrounded by tobacco warehouses that are now student housing apartments, such as Newtown Crossing and Red Mile. Glover’s Bookery was the headquarters for the American Saddlebred Horse Association before he bought it. “This is only fitting because we specialize in collecting horse books,” Glover said. There was only one other antiquarian bookshop selling used and rare books in Lexington at the time. “What is really sad is the declining of antiquarian bookshops,” Glover said. Glover makes trips to St. Petersburg, Fla., once in a while to go to large books shows. What once was a long, inviting trip with stops at about 25 bookshops like his own along the way, has now dwindled to two, Glover said. But he is not worried about getting people to come
into the store. “People who are into old books will come and find you,” Glover said. “That’s my philosophy.” What he said he is worried about is having people bring in their books. “The struggle is getting people to come in to sell me their books,” Glover said. “That’s why our yellow pages advertisement says ‘We Buy Books.’ Otherwise we wouldn’t have any books to sell.” With what most people would consider a light day, Glover considers 20 to 30 people in the store as normal. Most of the customers who walk in are regulars who sell their books, or individuals with a passion for antiquarian books. “Books sell themselves,” Glover said. “The biggie in this business is buying and knowing what to buy.” Glover noted that he is consistently on the search for antiquarian books for his shop. “If you’re not out beating the bushes every day, you’ll die on the vine,” he said.

Chris Maciuba, a diplomacy major in the school, said he looks forward to meeting with the consulate general from France. Learning how the French consulate works in the country explains how U.S. consulates work in other countries, he said. “A lot of these places do have a cross-cultural aspect to it,” Maciuba said. “Boeing

It is the nation’s largest urban power plant, comprising 150 acres of solar cells that power around 1,000 homes. “Part of the trick is that you need a program that you can offer to everyone. The Patterson School only takes 35 students a year. Virtually all of them are participating,” Cavanaugh said. “This gives them an educational experience that isn’t matched at other state universities.”
money on a Plus Account, but only can buy food and other items. “If they want to buy beer with money on their account, they have to apply for a refund,” he said. He said students will receive the refund in a check in one to two weeks. UK student Andrew Whitney said not being able to purchase beer on the Plus Account “makes things way more confusing than they should be.” “I feel it is redundant that you are not allowed to buy beer on Plus Account because I put my own money on the card to be able to buy what I want without dealing with cash and it makes it much easier,” he
said. Shultz, the manager at Mellow Mushroom, said that there are other issues with the Plus Account. “To make it more awkward, I also have to ask for their tip up front because there is not a spot on the plus account receipt to write down the tip amount you want to leave,” Shultz said. Shultz said running a student ID takes much longer than a regular credit or debit card. “My main point is if there was a spot on the receipt for a tip and if we did not have to tell people they can’t buy beer with Plus Account, our job would be much simpler,” Schultz said.
