Advisers plan to have day of service Event similar to UK Fusion, this year helping Kentucky Horse Park By Gary Hermann news@kykernel.com
The UK Advising Network will participate in this year’s CATS Day of Service on May 11 at the Kentucky Horse Park.
The advisers are not available the day of UK Fusion due to advising and this event gives them the opportunity to spend a day dedicated to service that fits their schedule. Susan Skees, chair of
Student dies after falling off cliff
UK Advising Network, is looking forward to “spending the day with all my colleagues without having to do a meeting or share information.” The CATS Day of Service began two years ago,
Skees said. “We wanted to emulate Fusion. The first year we had multiple locations, but the transportation was a little challenging.” she said. “The next year we decided to do one location.”
This year’s location, the Kentucky Horse Park, relies on the work of volunteers like the ones UK is sending. “It is a supplement to the state funding they receive, which is not enough to keep them in operation,” Christy Freadreacea, co-chair of the events committee said.
The advisers fit this event in after the last day of classes and the beginning of Summer Advising. “It is a great opportunity for all of us to get together and enjoy each other’s company and do something good at the same time,” Skees said. See ADVISERS on page 2
A day for remembering
Fell 140 ft. in Berea while hiking By Drew Teague dteague@kykernel.com
A former UK student died Saturday after falling nearly 140 feet off a cliff in Berea. Kentucky State Police Trooper Paul Blanton said the incident seemed like an accident, but police are looking into 20-year-old Kimchi Son’s death. A male companion was with Son during their hiking trip. Blanton said Kentucky State Police received the call for assistance at 6:09 p.m. Saturday from Madison County Emergency Operations Center. He said the Madison County coroner declared her deceased. Blanton was unsure if an autopsy had been performed already, but said it would be, as is the case with deaths like this. A detective has been assigned to the case, Blanton said. “At this time that’s what it seems like (an accident),” Blanton said. “A death investigation can take a long time, whether it would be six weeks or six months.” Son, who was from Louisville, had been enrolled at UK last semester as a junior, UK spokeswoman Kathy Johnson said. The last major listed for Son was architecture. Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison was unable to be contacted as of Monday evening.

The UK community gathered Monday afternoon to remember faculty, staff, students and alumni who have died. In its third year, UK Remembers memorial service featured speakers who reflected on the lives of those who died, as well as two performances. Paws and Listen sang “The Star-Spangled
Banner” and “Over the Rainbow,” and Dennis Bender of the School of Music sang “My Old Kentucky Home.” Throughout the week people can continue to honor those from the community by writing a message and placing it on a banner, which will be outside the Student Government office in the Student Center.

Classes offer campus tips for improving biking skills Teach traffic rules, gear shifting, how to fix a flat tire By Ariel Waldeck news@kykernel.com
Bicycle education classes are being offered on campus for students to learn and improve biking practices. Two different groups of classes are being offered — one by the UK Health & Wellness Program and the second by the YMCA of Central Kentucky. Calvin Dougherty, a linguistics junior, said many students don’t understand biking rules. “I see people around campus all the time who don’t ride like they should,” Dougherty said. “I have even seen someone hit by a car. I think people don’t realize that when you are riding a bike you are supposed to obey the rules just like a car does.” Luke Howell, a kinesiology
junior, said he thinks much of the information seems to be common knowledge, but he did find some skills that would be useful while riding a bike. “Learning how to fix a flat is beneficial and it’s an underappreciated skill,” Howell said. The UK Health & Wellness class will be taught by Michael Galbraith, a League of American Bicyclists-certified instructor. It will teach students the basics of route and gear selections. The class, Road 101: Bike Commuting Class, will also teach riding skills and is recommended for those who already know how to ride a bike. After the class is over, a short ride will take place around campus to practice the new skills taught in class. Participants must bring their own bike, and helmets are required

to participate in the ride. The class will be held on Wednesday from 5:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. Participants are to meet on the outdoor bleachers outside of the Joe Craft Center. The second class offered will have three parts. The YMCA of Central Kentucky has agreed to waive fees for these courses if students present a valid student ID. According to a news release, the three courses include Traffic Skills 101 and 201, and a commuter class. Traffic Skills 101 will focus on safety techniques. The eight-hour course will be held in four sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. from April 16 – 25. The course will also be held on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The class fee is $20.
index
Traffic Skills 201 is for advanced bike riders. The class will have four sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7:30 p.m. from May 14 - 23. The fee is $25. The Commuter class is for adult cyclists who are interested in exploring the idea of biking to work or school. This class will be held Tuesday, May 1, and Thursday, May 3, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The class costs $10. To learn more about these classes and how to register for them visit http://www.uky.edu/HR/wellness/bikeclass.html or http://www.ymcaofcentralky.or g/branches/high-street-ymca.

Students can be tested for HIV and syphilis for free on Tuesday for the last time this semester. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., University Health Service, AVOL, which is made up of AIDS volunteers, and Volunteers of America will sponsor the testing in rooms 359 and 363 of the Student Center. HIV tests are done without needles, and the results will be available in 20 minutes, according to a news release. Syphilis results will be available one week after testing. Brandy Reeves, health education coordinator for University Health Service, said in a news release that an average of one person is infected with HIV a day. “Knowledge is power,” she said in the release, “and we want students to feel comfortable being tested for HIV and syphilis because knowing whether they — or their partner — are infected is key to helping prevent the spread of these diseases.”

Alumnus on the bus: UK grad and a Greyhound By Luke Glaser lglaser@kykernel.com
Mike Pentecost is a pretty romantic guy. At least that’s how the story starts. In the fall of 1990, Pentecost was a freshman at UK. His “true love” was a freshman at Wake Forest. “We were gonna be the ones that made it forever,” Pentecost said. To visit her, the car-less and penniless freshman knocked on doors in Donovan Hall to beg for money for bus fare. The donations he received purchased his first ticket on the Greyhound Bus. Unfortunately, Pentecost’s true love and he were to part ways. That love, however, found another method of transportation. “I told myself ‘If I ever get a chance, I’m gonna get back on the bus,’” he said. Twenty-two years later, Pentecost’s book, “Bus People: 30 Days on the Road with America’s Nomads,” was released on Amazon. “The book centers around my 30
day journey around America on a Greyhound Bus … I don’t think most Americans have a clue who rides the bus, much less their stories,” he said. Pentecost decided to write a book about his experiences on a Greyhound Bus because “all of us are in search of community. People who ride the bus are looking for the same thing.” After convincing his wife that it was not a midlife crisis, Pentecost purchased a $439 “Discover America” pass and hopped on the bus. The next 30 days were spent listening to “human, very real, very raw stories.” The characters Pentecost met on the bus were as numerous and diverse as the cities he traveled through. They include Art the Trucker, who was convinced Elvis is living on an island, pursuing a career in gospel music, and that Art himself was the reason President Richard Nixon canceled a trip to Kentucky. They include a woman strung out on Percocet, who wanted Pentecost to join the “mile high club” with her. Pentecost politely declined, but helped her paint her toenails.
And they include a driver named Donna, who told him, “My passengers are usually having a bad day. If I can do anything to change that, I’ve made a difference.” Pentecost said one of his more memorable trysts was in Reno with a man named Scott, who coined the mystic phrase “Bus Magic.” “That’s the elixir that lures people onto the bus,” Pentecost said. “Something better awaits them.” Pentecost said his book is perfect for the traveling mind and spirit of the college student. “When you go through college, there’s a prescription for ‘what comes next,’” he said. “There’s a whole world of adventure. You don’t need to rush into the plan.” “Bus People” is on Amazon, and is available for $15. The life lessons on the Greyhound bus were many, from the journey itself to the “bus magic” of starting a threehour conversation with the words PHOTO COURTESY OF MIKE PENTECOST “Where you heading?” “The trip reminded me that I have Mike Pentecost, left, with his family, is a 1994 alumnus with a degree in business a wondering spirit,” Pentecost said. management. Pentecost’s book “Bus People: 30 Days on the Road with America’s Nomads” was recently published and is available on Amazon. “This is what love’s all about.”
from the front page ADVISERS Continued from page 1 Ryan Sallee, co-public relations coordinator, said he finds many aspects of the CATS Day of Service rewarding, including the connection he feels to the organizations afterwards. “The service in general, that’s always been the most rewarding part of this event
for me,” Sallee said. “At the end of the day, knowing how much I gave back and having the opportunity to do that.” Freadreacea said the Kentucky Horse Park draws people from all over the world to Lexington. She said she enjoys “having the opportunity to help the community shine, and feeling like you are a small part of a big event.”
Freadreacea said generally about 60 people from the UK Advising Network participate in the CATS Day of Service. “We are all in it together,” Sallee said. “But in terms of giving back to the community like they mentioned, it’s one of the missions of any flagship university so we are doing our part to make sure we are meeting that part of our mission.”

UK football’s defense thin after 3 more depart Fired TV host having troubles LOS ANGELES — Al Gore’s Current TV is blasting back at fired host Keith Olbermann. In a court filing Friday, the network attacked the liberal opinion-maker as “arrogant” and “immature” and said that he had failed to show up for nearly half of his recent workdays. The papers were a response to Olbermann’s $70 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed Thursday against Current, which hired him as its star last year but dismissed him in late March after months of turmoil. Current said it doesn’t have to “pay a dime” to Olbermann, “who, having already been paid handsomely for showing up sporadically and utterly failing to keep his end of the bargain, now seeks to be paid tens of millions more for not working at all.” The papers also point out that Olbermann told David Letterman, during a TV appearance this week, that “I screwed up” at Current. The network, founded by the former vice president with legal entrepreneur Joel Hyatt, accuses Olbermann of leaking his $10 million

In “utter disregard” of his contract, the host rejected every idea to promote his program, the papers say, and even banned his staff at “Countdown” from speaking with the executive vice president of communications. “(H)e arrogantly and falsely calls ‘cheap’ the company that has paid him the highest compensation he had ever received in his career, provided him the largest staff of any program he had ever anchored, given him the largest studio and custom-designed set on which he had ever worked, and paid over $50,000 in an eight-month period to eight different limousine companies because none of the previous seven were able to meet his patrician standards for how to drive him around New York City,” the papers say. Patty Glaser, Olbermann’s attorney, said the Current filing “has no merit, presents no defense and is no problem for us.”

Delic, Henderson and Patterson no longer on team Sophomore defensive end Nermin Delic and freshmen linebackers Justin Henderson and Tim Patterson have left the UK Football team, UK Athletics spokesman Tony Neely said. In an email to the Kernel, Neely said Patterson and Henderson will transfer, while Delic was dismissed from the program due to violation of team rules. With the departures, the Cats have now lost six players since the end of the 2011 season on the defensive side of the ball, where depth could be considered an issue. Linebacker Ridge Wilson was dismissed from the team
in February following a felony drug arrest. Of the three new departures, it was Patterson who was thought to have the highest ceiling. Coming off two state championships at Central High School in Louisville, the 6-foot-4 250pound linebacker at one time was a four-star recruit, according to Rivals.com. As the No. 1-rated player in the state that season, Patterson had his pick of suitors, but it ultimately came down to him choosing UK over Louisville. Once on campus he elected to grayshirt in order to rehabilitate an injury, and never saw the field since.
Henderson found himself buried behind Wilson and freshman Alvin “Bud” Dupree entering spring practices. Another option for the redshirt freshman could have been the defensive end position that he found himself at when coming to UK with little depth presented behind junior defensive end Taylor Wyndham. Delic entered spring practice with the most playing time of the three after recording five tackles, 1.5 sacks and forcing a fumble in eight games during his freshman season in 2010.

Stop ‘sweat’ in college sports ALLI SEHON Guest columnist
Wildcats are taking down their brackets this week with a sense of pride and satisfaction that only the NCAA National Championship can bring. We’ve got the No. 1 player in the nation, on the No. 1 team and we just won our eighth national championship; those are some exciting numbers. But how do we measure up in the arena of human rights? It turns out that UK keeps stats on this as well, through our athletics department and the division of Collegiate Licensing. Our sports teams use a lot of apparel between jerseys, training gear and coach and staff attire. To ensure that our university isn’t supporting sweatshops, UK contracts the Fair Labor Association, through the Collegiate Licensing Company, to monitor factories producing UK apparel. The FLA is responsible for conducting reviews of factories by visiting the sites and observing working conditions to ensure companies
are not discriminating against minority or female employees, employing children or using violence to control employees, among many other concerns. The FLA is a flawed organization despite its seemingly noble purpose. The FLA has come under fire for poor reporting habits, ignoring reports of rights abuses and systemic conflicts of interest. The Board of Directors even includes representatives from those companies being monitored for labor violations. Allowing companies to monitor their own labor abuses is like allowing players to call the fouls they make on other players. This may be fine for a pickup game in the community court, but at the level of a global and wealthy corporation like Nike (think Final Four of the NCAA tournament) outside referees are needed. Now, if those referees also happen to be employed by oh, let’s say, the University of Louisville, could anyone be really sure a fair game had been played? But the FLA isn’t monitoring a game, they are responsible for ensuring real human beings are not abused simply because they are poor. As Kentucky’s flagship institu-
tion and a leader in college sports, UK has an opportunity to set the standard for how universities do “good” business. The FLA does not work and we should not be spending money on a failing system. Even our competitors, like U of L, UNC and Auburn are using a different method: the Worker Rights Consortium. Rather than being led by corporate representatives, the WRC is led by students, experts in international and labor law and representatives of charitable organizations. The WRC is a direct line between factories and universities, reducing lost and misleading information which plagues the FLA and would give UK the power to make informed decisions in our business practices. As a student and a sports fan, I’m calling on our administrators and our Wildcat community to switch to the WRC and institute higher standards for UK’s partnerships. We are on the road to having the best sports program in the nation and moving toward a “sweat”-free future is an essential part of that goal. Alli Sehon is an anthropology undergraduate.

STAFF REPORTS
ESPN polls recruits to predict where Nerlens Noel, Shabazz Muhammad will end up Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Muhammad, the top two prospects in the Class of 2012, are expected to announce their college choices Wednesday. Both have UK among their top

three schools. ESPN polled 12 highly ranked recruits to see where they thought the two would end up. The recruits also gave their reason for their prediction. Most saw Noel as envisioning himself in an Anthony Davis-type role next season. Some saw Muhammad being swayed by UK’s national title and one-and-done pedigree while others saw him wanting to team up with highly touted guard Kyle Anderson at UCLA. Where will each go? Everyone’s trying to predict that very answer — and it’s a big one for UK, as landing both could make them 2012 title favorites.

NCAA deadline to declare means nothing
at Arkansas
Technically, UK players are supposed to decide whether they’re coming back for another year or leaving for the NBA by the NCAA’s new April 10 deadline, which is Tuesday. They’re not going to, and they shouldn’t. The NCAA enacted the new date as a way to help coaches avoid prolonged roster AARON confusion, but it SMITH really doesn’t matKernel ter, especially to columnist UK’s players. Head coach John Calipari said repeatedly throughout the postseason that it forces the players to make a decision too quickly, so he’s advising them to disregard the rule. What it is: if players declare for the NBA draft on or after this date, there’s no coming back. It’s a oneway door in that regard. But if the players do nothing — either stay silent or give a relatively empty decision to come back — their only concern is the NBA deadline of April 29. So that’s what the players will do. This supposed deadline will be ignored as the players collect more information about their draft stock and take only the NBA’s date into consideration.
Except: the new deadline is also harming their ability to collect that information, which will help shape a decision that has millions, potentially, riding on it. There’s no more “testing the waters.” Remember the Kentucky Combine last season, where players received valuable feedback from NBA personnel? That can’t happen now. Still, abiding by the NBA deadline will give the players a maximum of 19 more days to assess their options and decide whether they will be leaving UK or returning for a shot at another championship. The decisions could come out individually or as a group announcement closer to the end of April. And the decisions have huge ramifications for next year, especially coupled with this week’s decisions by top recruits. The freshmen may have starred in this year’s title run, but the returnees were equally vital. Getting one or two players to come back makes next year’s prospects that much better. Where do the players stand? It seems as though Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Terrence Jones are near locks to leave. Davis will be No. 1 overall, KiddGilchrist is top-5 and Jones is projected as a lottery pick. Doron Lamb remains an interesting case. He’s projected to go early in the second round in the latest mock drafts. That might not be
as high as he may want — but does he think his draft stock can improve enough next year, with Archie Goodwin and (possibly) Shabazz Muhammad coming onto the team, to warrant a return? And does he feel like there’s anything left to do after winning a title? Lamb is the most likely player of the five to return, but it still seems more probable that he will be gone. Marquis Teague appeared to be, for a while, the player who both (a) needed to and (b) could come back. But a strong late-season stretch, culminating in a great NCAA Tournament run, has pushed his stock up. He’s projected to go in the late teens or early 20s in mock drafts. While his father told the Indianapolis Star last week that Teague would discuss his decision with the family this week, Draft Express’ Jonathan Givony tweeted Monday, “For UK fans holding out hope that Marquis Teague might return...don’t. He’s 100% gone. Only question is when he announces.” We know that announcement, whichever way it goes and whenever it comes, won’t be influenced by the NCAA deadline. This date on the calendar, which the NCAA has tried to impose a rule on and give it significance, will drift by. And we will wait, for a week or two more, to see how UK’s team will shape up next season.
