Theatre students prepare for stage production of Hitchcock’s film ‘The 39 Steps’ By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
The stage was lined with wheeling doors, ladders and boxes on “The 39 Steps” production’s first night in Guignol Theatre. The props were minimal on Monday night — a bottle and telephone sat on the spindle-legged table and theatre junior Peter LaPrade held a glass tumbler in hand. Visiting director Andy Gaukel, theatre sophomore Lucas Southworth and assistant director Christina Ritter
marked the boundaries of the stage-within-the-stage. Everyone pretended not to notice the actors and crewmembers sifting through costumes and posturing about 10 feet away. The stage version of the 1935 Hitchcock film follows the character Richard Hannay through a comedic version of the espionage and intrigueheavy plot. “The movie was in a time when everything has a sort of Nazi feel to it,” said Gaukel, who graduated from UK in 1998. “The play is a spoof on
that whole movie.” To bring the movie to the small stage, Gaukel said that basic props would be manipulated to create a variety of settings. For example, a set of boxes will at one point be arranged into a box carriage, which the actors must “sell by bouncing around (and) using body language.” “It’s really proving to be a challenge as a director and as an actor,” Gaukel said. The three-quarters stage design means that the audience will view the play from different angles — and from
DanceBlue funds continue pouring in By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
DanceBlue’s date, Feb. 14, hasn’t deterred many from competing in the annual dance marathon, according to the event’s organizers. “What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by showing your love for the kids?” asked DanceBlue public relations chair Michael Danahy.
“
said that he worked the DanceBlue donation table last week and saw money coming in “left and right.” “We’re really pleased,” he added. All of the donations this year will go to the Golden Matrix Fund, which benefits the Kentucky Children’s Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic, Danahy wrote in a December email to the Kentucky Kernel. Danahy said that the teams that

There are 71 teams registered for this year’s event, Danahy said, about 10 more than competed last year. “I don’t think Valentine’s Day has had any negative impact on the teams,” Danahy said. The integrated strategic communications senior said that although he could not give out the amount of funds raised before “the big reveal” at the marathons, but could say that “things are going really, really well.” Although the event capped the teams’ backing on Jan. 30, Danahy said they would continue to accept donations to the overall cause until about halfway through the marathon. DanceBlue raised $1,436,606.24 in 2014, according to the event’s web page. Danahy
are registered for this year’s dance also come from more diverse backgrounds than the event has seen in the past. The usual suspects for DanceBlue teams are Greek organizations and clubs, Danahy said. At the end of last year, the event’s planners decided to try to attract a wider range of student organizations, Danahy said. This year, Danahy said that as innocuous a group as a set of four friends from the same dorm signed up to compete to raise funds. “Since we have students from all walks of life, we have donations coming in from all over,” Danahy said. “The more diverse a group of people we reach, the more people we can reach out to for donations.”
much closer than in a traditional, “proscenium” stage layout, which places the audience in a lower and broader space relative to the stage. There are only four rows of seats in the bleacher setup that already perches on the edge of the main stage. It will be joined by one on either side of the stage before the play opens on Feb. 19. The furthest-away seats are 10 steps up from the stage. Behind those audience members, 18 rows of empty theater
The dark style of film director Alfred Hitchcock will be on display in the coming weeks as the Department of Theatre and Dance present the Hitchcock Film Series. Professor Nancy Jones, chair of the Department of Theatre, came up with the idea for the Hitchcock Film Series, and said that the inspiration came from wanting to expose students and others to Hitchcock’s films and also provide context to the upcoming production of Hitchcock’s film “The 39 Steps,” which begins Feb. 19 at Guignol Theatre. The series consists of four Hitchcock movies; “North by Northwest,” “Psycho,” “The Birds” and “The 39 Steps” that play from Jan. 26 through Feb. 16 at 5:30 p.m. in Briggs Theatre, with pizza and drinks for $5. The film series will be showcasing Hitchcock’s art while also funding a student trip to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival using the proceeds from food and drink sales. Integrated strategic communications and theatre junior Katie Noble, who is part of the group that will be attending the trip to the festival, helps out with the film nights, and said the film series is a unique way to provide context for the play and also gives people the chance to watch and enjoy Hitchcock films. Theatre junior Peter LaPrade plays main character Richard Hannay and said that the film series is a great way to expose people from this generation to films that people don’t normally get to see. Biology junior Lexie Magnani attended the film series on Feb. 2 to see “Psycho,” and plans to attend the play. Magnani said that she plans to compare the movie and play to see how they align, and noted that she likes the idea of the film series and thinks they should use this strategy to promote future plays.

Campus Black History Month kick-off event brings soul By Sarah Brookbank news@kykernel.com
The Cats Den was full of students and the smell of soul food on Monday night for its Black History Month kick off with the Martin Luther King Center. Collard greens, fried okra, candied yams and BBQ chicken were served with a side of history to the students who went to “What’s Cooking? Taste the History of Soul Food.” The partnership between the MLK Center and The Cats Den is one of three this month, including a rap battle and a spades tournament. Dustin Adams, assistant director of the Student Center, said that this was the first pairing between the Cats Den and the MLK Center but that it wouldn’t be the last. Their goal for the night was 60 students, but by the time the yams were served 84 students had come to the table. “The more diverse students a program gets the better,” Adams said. Political science freshman Devin Byrd spoke to the crowd about the history of the food they were eating,

tracing the roots back to Africa and the Caribbean. According to Byrd, collard greens were inspired by onepot meals in West Africa, and okra came from Ethiopia and was used as a thickening agent. “It’s hard to get close to a home cooked meal on campus. It reminded me of home,” Byrd said. Byrd noted that the yams were his favorite, and that even though he doesn’t like greens or okra, he tried them. Broadcast journalism freshman Alexis Winston said that the greens were her fa-
vorite part of the meal because they were seasoned right and made with smoked turkey. Winston also noted that she plans to go to more of the events during Black History Month, and that she is particularly interested in the rap battle. “My favorite was the fried okra because I tried something new and I liked it,” said Kourtney Draughn, an elementary education sophomore. Kahlil Baker, director of the MLK Center said food is a way to connect to a large portion of the student body.
“When I think of black history and culture, two of the biggest things that come to mind are music and food,” Baker said. Baker helped serve the food to the gathered students and said that the diversity of the crowd was exciting. “Often when you look at Martin Luther King Center events you see a majority of black students, and when you look at the other side of the Student Center … you have a mostly white population,” Baker said. “When we work together we see this kind of diversity.”

Cats work for perfection By Joshua Huff jhuff@kykernel.com
UK’s pursuit of perfection collides on Tuesday with a Georgia team that saw its five-game winning streak snapped by South Carolina on Saturday. After the 67-50 loss to the Gamecocks, the Bulldogs turn their attention to the only undefeated team left in the country as they travel to Rupp Arena to face No. 1 UK. The task will be all the more difficult for Georgia as its leading scorer and rebounder, senior forward Marcus Thornton, will miss the game after sustaining a concussion on Jan. 27. His leadership will be missed. “He does a lot of things for us,” Georgia head coach Mark Fox said on Monday. Thornton’s absence was felt on Saturday as the Bulldogs struggled to score and rebound, shooting just 22 percent from the field and 17 percent from three. Fox will need a much better performance to defeat UK from a team that appeared disjointed against South Carolina. South Carolina prides itself on its physical defense, but is leaps and bounds below UK’s No. 2 ranked defense in the nation. Without Thornton, the task of playing toe-to-toe with UK will be difficult. “They’re just great at both ends,” Fox said of the Cats. Their length and agility are tough to contend with, he added. The constant pressure and their length under the basketball wear teams down. Fatigue will be a major concern for Fox, whose team has lost three of its top eight players to injury, and with a depleted roster “it’s hard to keep the team fresh.” UK faces the same prob-

lem with freshman Trey Lyles, who remains questionable for Tuesday’s game with an illness. But UK has the luxury of having depth at every position, and with an offense that has found its rhythm, Lyles’ absence will not be as missed as Thornton’s. However, UK head coach John Calipari contends that despite his team’s success, nothing comes easy. “There are no easy games in the SEC,” Calipari said. If Georgia plays to its potential and reverts back to its form during its fivegame winning streak, UK will be in for a fight. The Bulldogs also pride themselves on their guard play and are a good three-point
shooting team with sophomore guard J.J. Frazier shooting 43 percent from beyond the arc. UK just needs to remember Ole Miss’ Stefan Moody Vanderbilt’s Riley or LaChance, who both nearly shot their teams to wins over UK. On any given night anything is possible, but a loss will not be the end-all for UK, not until the calendar flips over to March, that is.

Lawson anxious for 2015 By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
February might not seem like the optimal month to begin a softball season, with average temperatures still hovering around the freezing mark. But to UK softball head coach Rachel Lawson, February is the perfect time for a season opener, if only because her team is beginning 2015 in sunny Tallahassee, Fla. “We are excited about the season opening up this Thursday, especially because we just got this cold front (in Lexington),” Lawson said. “We’re excited to get on a plane.” The Cats are coming off a successful 2014 campaign where they advanced to the Women’s College World Series for the first time in program history. Every team that Lawson has coached at UK has progressed further each year, and she has no intention to stop pushing this year’s team to the next level. “When you come to UK your goal is to win championships,” Lawson said. “That carrot is always dangling out there. Even if you win one championship, you want to win another.” The difference with going back to the WCWS this year is the expectations over the Cats’ heads. By becoming one of the elite teams to make the pinnacle of college softball, opponents will target UK as a team to beatsomething that Lawson said is “uncharted waters” for the program. The Cats are feeling that extra level of expectations even before their first game. UK is ranked No. 6 in the preseason polls, the highestever preseason ranking for the school. The Cats will face No. 5 Florida State twice and No. 4 Oklahoma in the nonconference sched-
Replacing Reed no easy task for Cats

ule, something that Lawson calls “a great measuring stick” for the team. The experience from last year and months of offseason training has prepared the Cats for the grind of a season. The core unit that helped carry UK to the WCWS a season ago returns this year, including junior shortstop Christian Stokes. Stokes said 2014’s success has added motivation to this season and made them work harder preparing to get back to the WCWS. "I think the mindset is determined,” Stokes said. “Obviously we accomplished our goal last year, but it is always a goal to get to the World Series and it's another goal for us this year. Maybe even try to get a little
further.” But to ultimately outdo your previous finish, you have to improve on the things that kept you from advancing. That’s what Lawson said will be the focus of the team in 2015, as it’s the only way to accomplish the next goal. “Even though we made it to the World Series, there were a lot of statistical things we could have improved on,” Lawson said. “I think the fact that we have been able to stay focused on our process-oriented goals: becoming a better hitting team, scoring more runs, having a higher average. They understand that if we can get better at those things, then we have a shot at winning the championship.”
With UK baseball’s season opener just over a week away, the question that everyone is asking is how to replace departed NCAA All-American A.J. Reed. “I’m not sure you’re going to replace A.J. with one guy,” head coach Gary Henderson said. “Clearly we’re going to have a different team offensively. We were old and strong last year. We’ll have a different club this year.” Reed played an instrumental role on the mound and at the plate in leading UK to a 37-25 record last year. At the plate, Reed hit .336 with 23 home runs and 73 runs batted in. On the mound, he started 16 games for the Cats, going 12-2 with a 2.09 earned run average. While it’s difficult to replace a dual-threat player like Reed, Henderson is confident that his team is up to the task. Junior Kyle Cody, a 6foot-7, 245-pound righthander looks to be the favorite to take over the Friday night role for the Cats on the mound. As a sophomore, Cody split time between the starting rotation and bullpen while battling injuries, appearing in 18 games and starting six. Cody finished 4-0 on the year with a 2.84 ERA. After the season, the right-hander pitched well in the Cape Cod league, earning him preseason All-American honors going into 2015. Cody hasn’t paid much attention to the preseason accolades. “I’ve seen them, but it doesn’t mean too much to me,” Cody said. “It’s still an honor for me to get those accolades, but I don’t look too much into them.”

UK will also be different on defense. Fifth-year senior infielder Thomas Bernal will be making the switch from first base. A position he made 51 starts at in 2014, to third base. The move has been a learning experience for Bernal. “It’s fun and quite a process,” Bernal said. “(Hitting coach Rick) Eckstein has been working with me about pre-pitch and all of that. It’s been fun and I’m looking forward to it.” As far as who would replace Bernal at first, Henderson said that freshman Evan White has earned the starting job going into the season. White, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-handed hitter impressed the coaching staff in fall and winter workouts. Henderson said that White is also the best defensive first baseman UK has had in “maybe seven or eight years.” “You’re all going to know Evan White’s name,” Henderson said. “He’s going to be a really good player. I don’t want to put too much on him too soon, but he’s clearly going to be a good player.” In the outfield, Kentucky returns four players who played extensively last
year, including juniors Ka’ai Tom and Kyle Barrett, as well as sophomores Marcus Carson and Storm Wilson. The emergence of Tom in the outfield last season was a pleasant surprise for the Cats. The Kaneohe, Hawaii native looks to build off of last season’s success. “Of course you want to get better from year to year and elevate your skill,” Tom said. “Hopefully I just keep up the success and not try to do too much.” But no matter how many players there are to contribute in replacing Reed’s offensive and defensive stats, the task remains a daunting one. “That’s just someone you don’t really replace,” Tom said. “He won all of the national player of the year awards. That’s just unheard of. Collectively, I feel like all of us can contribute at different levels.”

Vegetarians don’t have good dining choices on campus PATRICK BRENNAN Kernel Columnist
The short breaks between classes can sometimes be a drag. If you’re anything like me, then a long line for the same overpriced meal is no time to jump for joy. As a vegetarian, the midday meal on campus is no easy task. Some might say that I complicate things because of my choice to avoid meat, but I don’t think it is a difficult demand. Also, it is an eating habit that is becoming increasingly common. There are a variety of reasons why people nix meat from the menu: religious, health and ethical. Personally, I think vegetarians prove that meat is unnecessary. Because of
this, any justification for eating animals, such as taste or convenience, is not compelling enough to me. A vegetarian makes a social and financial impact that they hope will reduce animal suffering. However, vegetarians at UK might as well look for housing near Kroger, because a decent meal on campus is hard to come by. This week I put on my coat and threw out my knife in search of the best veggie meal in walking distance. First, I would suggest that you go toward midcampus if you’re in the mood for bread. Rising Roll and Einstein Bagels provide good options for carbohydrates, but not much else. Over by the library, I was a little disappointed with the options that Ovid’s provides. A grilled cheese and chips is hardly a “health” reason to be a vegetarian.
On the other hand, a make-your-own wrap station grants decent variety. My favorite midday meal on campus is at the Intermezzo in Patterson Office Tower. The avocado black bean burger is truly delicious. Day after day, though, the long line and high price push me to look for other options. The buffet places like Blazer and Commons are better at providing a variety of options. But to be honest, for someone who is not on a meal plan, I can save much more by eating at home. In the end, I was at least happy to find vegetarian options all across campus. Until they improve in variety and quality, though, vegetarians at UK are better off at the grocery.

seats stretch out to the doors. Gaukel spent much of the rehearsal stopping the action to adjust position, volume and elocution. Prior to Monday, the cast rehearsed the play in
different rooms. They received light and some sound on Monday night, as well as costumes, said Liz Ellis, the production’s stage manager. “Right now, we all have rehearsal props,” Ellis said. The large prop items like the trunks and doors will remain in the show, she added. The cast and crew did get creative with portraying
some elements of the movie, Gaukel said, as in one scene when the cast will use shadow puppets to convey a chase scene in the movie. “The guy who wrote the play tried to stay as close to the movie as possible,” Gaukel said. “But there are some parts that you didn’t get to see … (that) I think add to it.”
