Beaux Arts Ball raises thousands for charity with live music event By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
The 2015 Beaux Arts Ball mixed the eye-catching with the mundane on Saturday night, as tickets to the music and mayhem raised money for local charities. After gaining entry, costumed attendees posed for pictures at the ticket desk, as they passed the rows of porta-potties outside the warehouse and in the fenced-off outdoor area. The thumping music was audible from a block away and grew steadily louder as one approached the cement-colored warehouse doors. Inside, dancers in tulle spun light-up hula-hoops under geometric hangings. On a backlit dais, the musical acts performed in eerie purple and blue lights, cycling across the stage as the night wore on. Superheroes and vaguely sci-fi
costumes were popular, as Storm Troopers and Supermen mixed with men and women in antlers and feathers. A man in a disco ball Jason Voorhees mask made the rounds as those with green wristbands sipped drinks. Mercedes Murphy and Kyle Youngs attended together in highlighter yellow, orange and green, with splashes of face and body paint. “We just threw this together lastminute,” said Murphy, a forestry sophomore. “Seems like a lot of people have great outfits. We just tried to be as bright and colorful as possible.” Murphy and Youngs, a horticulture senior, attended for the music. Murphy said she was excited to see DJ Wes Dean. “Dubstep is rad,” Youngs said. The ball uses the exhibits to raise money for local charities through exposure to the arts. According to the Ball’s website, it
raised $45,000 or more for organizations like the Governor’s School for the Arts, CASA of Lexington and the Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center in 2012. Luke Eldridge of the Lexington Homegrown Collectives set up a booth of fantastical wire wrappings in the shape of mythological creatures and warriors in the outdoor area. Behind him hung rows of paintings by other members of the art gallery. To his left, a glassblowing booth lit a flame to begin a demonstration. “We’re the alternative source for art in Lexington,” Eldridge said. “We want to appeal to youthful artists.” Eldridge said his part-time work at Cassidy Elementary School and with education has played into the Homegrown Collectives, allowing him to give other artists a means of expression, as he was given in high school.
Quarterbacks impress during scrimmage game
“I like to teach kids from a very early age and like them know they have no hindrances,” Eldridge said. “I’m trying to make
the world a better place one sculpture at a time — if I can teach people at the same time, so much the better.”
Protest swarms Main Building to argue against UK contract Activists want UK to cut ties with clothing company

Though it felt like a fall day, the unfinished Commonwealth Stadium reminded those on Saturday at UK’s spring practice that fall was more than a season away. The performance of the team, however, dispelled any thought that it was still April. Despite numerous injuries on offense, big plays highlighted the scrimmage in front of a large crowd at the Tim Couch practice fields. Incumbent quarterback Patrick Towles looked impressive helming an offense that struggled down the stretch last season. “Patrick has done a nice job,” head coach Mark Stoops said about the ongoing quarterback competition between Towles and Drew Barker. “I feel like he’s getting better, and that’s the most important thing. Rather than naming a starter, I need all the guys to get better and in particular at quarterback. I feel like those guys are getting better.” And the quarterbacks, under new offensive coordinator

“Capilouto you can’t hide, UK students are unified!” was just one of the chants President Eli Capilouto’s office heard on Friday as members of United Students Against Sweatshops and other UK students jogged from Patterson Office Tower to Capilouto’s office to protest the university’s business with VF Corporation, something USAS has been protesting all year. VF is an American clothing corporation that is a leader in branded apparel including jeans-wear, outdoor products and sportswear. According to the corporation’s website, VF is a $12 billion “apparel and footwear powerhouse” that supplies some of the apparel in the UK bookstore. The race to cut VF is part of a national campaign to get all colleges and universities to cut their contracts with VF until the company signs the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety, an accord that makes manufacturers accountable for working conditions. In April 2013, a garment
factory in the eight-story Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed, killing an estimated 1,129 people and injuring another 2,500. VF Corporation currently has factories in Bangladesh. But VF Corporation has not directly sourced college apparel in Bangladesh since 2010 and has no intention of doing so in the future, according to UK spokesman Jay Blanton.
“
UK students need to hear that the consumer power is the greatest power we have.” LINDSEY SNIDER
Nursing freshman
“We are in regular communication with VF regarding their operations in general and in Bangladesh in particular,” Blanton said. “Moreover, VF is a founding member (along with several
other American companies) of the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety.” Nonetheless, the protesters came equipped with letters from 17 colleges that have cut ties with VF. Each protester had a sign taped to them representing one of the colleges that had already cut ties. The students circled the statue in front of POT and jogged into the main entrance of Capilouto’s office in a single file line. The protesters swarmed the office, with the student representing UK last in line. The University of Louisville was just behind UK in the race to cut VF, as it currently contracts with JanSport, a clothing brand owned by VF. Equipped with a megaphone, the protesters chanted rhymes such as, “Hey JanSport VF, don’t let your workers burn to death!” “UK students need to hear that the consumer power is the greatest power that we have and what we buy has the ability to impact many people even if we don’t realize it,” said LindSee PROTEST on page 2

Benefit of the doubt is gone for American police Local governments need to help prevent violence MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
In the United States at least 5,600 people have been killed by police officers in the last 15 years. This might even be a low ball estimate, because for a reason only known to the almighty wisdom of our legislators, there is no database set up to track police killings. If a database existed it could be used to scour over data to draw a larger picture of just what percentage of officers use deadly force, what proportion is justifiable, and who makes minorities their target and how often. But police have lobbied hard against this type of database,
which leaves us to assume the worst. Last year, as protesters descended on Ferguson, Mo., many people, myself included, gave police the benefit of the doubt, but law enforcement have lost that privilege as violence becomes more and more publicized. It is beginning to feel like the only difference between a justifiable use of deadly force and murder, as far as police are concerned, is whether or not a bystander brave enough to press record on their smartphone observes the incident. The NFL rightly took a lot of heat for how it handled some high profile domestic abuse cases over the last twelve months. They were criticized for their “protect the shield” priority, setting the league brand above justice or morality. Somehow, as police and
prosecutors team up to cover up violence and avoid indictments, nobody has leveled the same scrutiny upon the justice system. The argument that it is simply a small minority of violent police officers that continue the pattern of targeting citizens is getting harder and harder to believe. Another comparison with the NFL is pertinent: the brutal mindset of the NFL was blamed for the prevalence of domestic violence in the league, but domestic violence is much more prevalent among law enforcement officers than the general population. If it truly is only a small minority of officers giving the rest a bad rap, then it is time for the vast majority to ostracize the few for the greater good of police. Some sympathizers have attempted to defend the vio-
lence by saying that the nature of the job makes violence unavoidable —as if putting eight bullets into the back of someone running away from you is simply a job hazard. If the fact that officer Michael Slager knew the severity of his actions fast enough to plant evidence on Walter Scott does not sink in, maybe a few facts will. Police officers in the United States killed more citizens in the month of March than officers in Great Britain have killed in more than 100 years. A recent study found that of the disciplinary action cases taken against Florida officers between 1997 and 2002, 75 percent were filed against officers without a college degree, and just 11 percent were filed against officers with a bachelor’s degree. Some police departments have purchased body cameras for officers to wear, a
common sense step that protects both the public and an officer that may have no choice but to use deadly force. As long as officers do not turn their cameras off — a clear sign that they have violent, or at least nefarious inclinations — body cameras have been shown to reduce violence by as much as 60 percent. A solution is possible, and it starts with city leaders. Municipalities across the country can take a few steps to save lives and, considering the cost of legal battles for police violence, probably money. The first step is a change in culture. Officers deserve an innocent-unless-proven-guilty approach, just as citizens do, but the process should not be rigged from the start. The people investigating the violence cannot be the people committing it. There should be a zero tolerance policy for police
Grateful Dead lives in Lexington MATT WICKSTROM Kernel Columnist
Thanks to local music legend Lee Owen, Lexingtonians now have a reason to look forward to Monday. In November 2014, Owen began hosting what he calls ‘Grateful Monday’ at Cosmic Charlie’s on the corner of Euclid Avenue and Woodland Avenue, from 9 pm to midnight. Each week Owen and a rotating cast of musicians, often from one of the four bands he regularly plays in, perform songs from the vast library of the Grateful Dead. According to Owen, the idea for the weekly event was taken from a friend. “I met Dave Hebert of the Jerry Garcia Band several years ago at a festival at Legend Valley in Ohio,” Owen said. “We became friends and started networking, and soon thereafter he moved to Arizona,
where he started hosting a Grateful Dead night every week at a local bar. I thought it was a great idea, so I called up John (Tresaloni) from Cosmic Charlie’s to talk about scheduling something similar, and he immediately said ‘OK.’” Owen is known for being one of the founding members of Born Cross Eyed, a local Grate-
“
cover band. Lexington didn’t have that.” In the late ‘90s, Owen moved back to his hometown of Nashville, Tenn., where he worked on music row and performed with Vassar Clements and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among others. In 2000, Owen decided to move back to Lexington to work for his college roommate,
We started playing on $0.25 beer nights, and from there things took off.” LEE OWEN, ‘Grateful Monday’ host
ful Dead cover band that was founded in 1991 and still performs today. Born Cross Eyed first got its start performing at the Jefferson Davis Inn, where guitarist Kirk Harrod worked as a bartender. “We started playing on $0.25 beer nights, and from there things took off,” Owen said. “Every college town has a Grateful Dead
and to rejoin Born Cross Eyed, who he’s been performing with ever since. JP Nowak of the band Cornmeal, Dino English of Dark Star Orchestra, and Todd Copeland of Green Genes all rotate playing the second set of drums in the band, behind regular Mark Vanderboegh. Other band members include Chris Fuller on the keyboard and
saxophone, Brandon Bowlds on bass, and Joey David and Harrod on guitar. A Born Cross Eyed show is a sight to behold. They often pack the bars and clubs they perform in to capacity with their diehard fans. BCE is worth seeing every time they play for their amazing sound and the energy they bring to the stage. The band members truly love what they’re doing, and aren’t just in it for the money like countless other cover bands. Owen’s other three bands all have their own unique styles of music that make them one of a kind. Owsley County, formerly known as the Very Garcia Band, covers several songs by the Beatles, Steely Dan, Phish, and others, as well as performing their own originals. Owen’s next performance with Born Cross Eyed is Saturday, April 25, at Cosmic Charlie’s at 10 pm. Matt Wickstrom is a journalism junior. Email opinions@kykernel.com
brutality; independent investigators finding fault for an offense of the officer should result in immediate termination and loss of pension benefits. But the solution starts even before the investigation. The mindset of police seems to have shifted from the good ole’ days of Barney Fife. Too many officers these days seem to be of the mindset that “protect and serve” is an outdated pleasantry, the way “the customer is always right” has become, rather than an essential paradigm. Citizens have come to be treated as the enemy of law enforcement, but the exact opposite is true. Citizens are the customers, the clientele and the employers of police — not the subjects of brutal overlords. Matt Young is a journalism and political science senior. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

‘Tie Dye Tuesday’ returns to campus By Haley Simpson news@kykernel.com
The 1960s may have come and gone, but tie dye lives forever. With warm weather comes the season of colorful clothes, and the Student Activities Board is embracing the sun with Tie Dye Tuesday. SAB will give away free tank tops for students to tie dye from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday on the Student Center patio. Abbey Tillman, director of campus life for SAB, said the group ordered about 350 tank tops for the event. “Last year we ordered about 350 tank tops and we ran out,” Tillman said. “This year we ordered about the same number and we are definitely anticipating running out of tank tops again.” Students will only be allowed to tie dye one tank top courtesy of SAB, but they can bring clothing of their own to dye in addition to the free
tank top. “In the past we’ve had people that have brought underwear, socks and other tshirts, so we’re not telling people to bring their own, but we’re not going to tell them they can’t do that,” Tillman said. This is the second consecutive year Tillman has coordinated Tie Dye Tuesday. Last year, the event took place before Spring Break so students could wear a tie died tank top for during their excursions. This year, after researching the weather, Tillman decided it would be best to hold off and do something in preparation for summer break. “The purpose is really to have a moment out of the day where students can take a break from classes and tie dye a tank top, and also have something that they can take away from the event, “ Tillman said. “It’s kind of that theme of relaxation and taking a break from the daily activities.”

his proficiency down field. “You’ve got to be able to stretch it when they’re stacking the box in this league,” Towles said. “There were times last year when we couldn’t do that. We didn’t have the personnel or didn’t make a good throw.” It was not just Towles that picked apart a defense missing vocal leaders Bud Dupree and Za’Darius
Smith. Barker, other than his two interceptions, looked much improved over last year. He threw a 42-yard touchdown to Snodgrass and had a spectacular over-themiddle pass to freshman C.J. Conrad. “We are competing for sure,” Towles said. “There’s no doubt about that. I want to play as good as I can and he wants to play as good as he can. But at the end of the day, we’re on the same team. One of us is going to go out there and play and the other
one is going to root for that one.” The defense had a few big plays of its own. Linebacker Josh Forrest had a pair of interceptions as he looks to improve on his already excellent pass coverage. “He had a few missed tackles in there,” Stoops said. “That’s where he knows he needs to improve, but he has great range and he’s very good in space and can make some big plays in the pass game.”

Arkansas slams UK Baseball with eight scoreless innings Arkansas starting pitcher Keaton McKinney pitched eight scoreless innings on Sunday in a complete game, 7-3 win against UK. McKinney held the Cats to just five hits, striking out five and allowing only three runs to earn his second win of the season. Arkansas scored one run in the bottom of the first and three more in the third to chase UK starter Kyle Cody after just 2.2 innings. Cody, now 2-4 on the season, allowed six hits and four earned runs while striking out two in the loss. Andrew Benintendi singled to score Clark Eagan in the bottom of the first to give
Arkansas the 1-0 lead. Rick Nomura drove in one run and Michael Bernal doubled in two runs in the bottom of the third to give the Razorbacks a 4-0 lead. UK freshman reliever Zach Logue was able to provide 4.1 innings of relief pitching in one of his best outings of the season. Arkansas added insurance runs late in the game as Tyler Spoon hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth and Brett Mcafee scored along with Nomura to make it 7-0. McKinney only allowed two hits through the first eight innings of the game, but ran into some trouble in
the ninth inning. Connor Heady started the ninth with a single and scored after Ka’ai Tom grounded out to second base. JaVon Shelby then hit a tworun home run, his team leading fourth of the season, to narrows Arkansas’ lead to 73. But then McKinney ended all hope of a UK comeback when he forced Dorian Hairston to ground out, ending the game. UK is now 19-14 on the season and 5-9 in SEC play. The Cats return to action on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. when they host Western Kentucky. STAFF REPORT
UK Softball loses again as season winds down
The SEC continues to take its toll on UK Softball as it suffered yet another series loss to a conference opponent when Florida took the series 6-3 on Sunday after a six-run fourth inning. One game remains between the two, as Florida will host the third of three games on Monday. The loss was the fourth SEC series loss for UK, which dropped to a disappointing 4-10 in the conference. The Cats have also lost four of their last six games. A three-run home run by Lauren Haeger capped off the six-run fourth inning that snagged a two-run lead away from UK. The Cats jumped
out early in the third inning behind a two-run home run, but failed to hold a hot-hitting Florida team. UK’s Meagan Prince took the loss for the Cats, dropping her record to 11-5. Prince pitched three innings with eight hits, six runs and just three strikeouts. Florida’s Aleshia Ocasio earned the win for the Gators after she went a full six innings, giving up three hits and three runs. A solo home run in the sixth inning was all UK could muster after the Gators pulled ahead. Delanie Gourley replaced Ocasio in the seventh inning and threw two strikeouts to finish off the Cats. UK’s Kelsey Nunley con-
tinues to be the Cat’s workhorse. She has pitched in 26 of UK’s games with a 1.85 earned run average. But her 11-8 record is a drop-off from last season’s dominant performance. With remaining games against South Carolina, Louisville and Tennessee looming, UK is in danger of falling off the pace with the SEC Tournament and NCAA Tournament quickly approaching. Florida will look to run the table against a reeling UK team on Monday at 7:00 p.m. in Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. STAFF REPORT
Is college hoops unbearably boring? By Brian Scmitz Orlando Sentinel (TNS)
When critiquing college basketball from a pro basketball summit, you're always at risk of sounding like an NBA snob. So be it. “It's uglier than ugly, and it's evidenced by the scoring going down. When the NBA went through that, we changed things." That's Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban doing the critiquing. And he's spot-on about the trouble with college hoops. Far too often, it's unwatchable. True, March Madness is must-see TV. But it can't obscure the fact that the regular season is awkwardly reaching
The Big Dance on two left feet. Take an interminable 35second shot-clock, add control-freak coaches, mix in physical defenses ... and you have a slow, grinding game that's an eyesore. Forget the style points for a minute. How about scoring points, period? Mar. 22, 2015: Michigan State 23, Virginia 18 at the half. Scoring was at a record low heading into the NCAA tourney (66.85 points per game, according to analyst Ken Pomeroy). Just last month Sports Illustrated studied the issue in a piece entitled, "Crisis On The Court: Why College Basketball
An Extreme Needs Makeover." ESPN analyst and former Duke forward Jay Bilas has been talking about how "brutal" the game is for viewers for years. While some coaches and purists feel critics are overreacting, average attendance for Division I games has declined steadily for the past seven years, according to the Sports Business Journal. The NCAA showed enough concern to experiment with a 30-second shot-clock in the NIT. The NCAA largely has wanted to keep its amateur appearance and separate itself from the NBA, thus its resistance to the 24-second shot-lock. Try it, you'll like it.

is a start, creating more possessions and, hopefully, more points. With 35 seconds at their disposal, I've seen teams run three-man weaves at the top of the key _ just to work the clock before getting into their offenses. Clothes go out of style while players stand around and casual fans grab the remote to channel-surf. Unlike the NBA, coaches are the strutting stars of the college game. Many like nothing better than to have 35 seconds to call every play, stifling the creativity by gifted players. College basketball coaches could improve their sport by taking a cue from college football coaches. The off-tackle curmudgeons have evolved, much to the delight of TV ex-

ecs, making games high scoring and entertaining with nohuddles and spread offenses. College hoops also needs to widen the lane from 12 feet to 14 feet and extend the 20foot three-point line a little all
to create more spacing. And please pretty please cut down on all the timeouts that interrupt the flow of games. Cuban's off-base when he says the sorry state of the college game is hurting the NBA.
