More than 1,000 opponents of Senate Bill 6 rallied in Frankfort on Tuesday, arguing it will violate constitutional rights.
Lobbying for immigrants’ Protesters rally against Arizona-like law By Gary Hermann news@kykernel.com
Demonstrators rallied on the steps of the state Capitol on Tuesday, to oppose Senate Bill 6 which is an attempt by lawmakers to decrease Kentucky’s population of undocumented immigrants. People of all ethnicities and from all over the state gathered in Frankfort to oppose the controversial bill. Among those in attendance were Jose Martin, a political science freshman, and Clinton Smith, a civil engineering junior. Originally from Spain, Martin said his family is directly affected by SB6. “I know people who came to this country to seek a better life and raise a family,” Smith said. “To be deprived, that is completely unconstitutional.” Smith and Martin arrived in Frankfort for lobby training so they would be prepared if given the opportunity to speak with their legislators. “This bill is stepping back to an era of segregation,” Smith said. “I’m somewhat apathetic with politics, but this really upset me.” See BILL on page 2

Cats scale Rocky Top UK downs SEC rival Tennessee 73-61 By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Heading into the Tennessee game, an unfamiliar training tool was brought out by UK head coach John Calipari. A boxing bag. It was to instill toughness in a team that had dropped two straight games on the road – two losses that also contributed to some pent-up frustration the players were able to take out. “I was trying to break through that bag every time I punched it,” Josh Harrellson said. UK (17-6, 5-4 Southeastern Conference) was throwing heavy punches of its own in a 73-61 victory over Tennessee (159, 5-4 SEC). Harrellson especially was taking swings, scoring 16 points (his highest scoring mark against a conference opponent this season) while missing one shot. He also took what he said was the first charge of his life. “I might not have been hit that hard,” Harrellson said. “I kind of fell down with it. (Calipari) was smiling at me. I gave him a little point, like, ‘I can do it.’” Also leading UK was DeAndre Liggins, who tied a career-high with 19 points and limited Tennessee’s Scotty Hopson, in his first game back after an ankle injury, to 11 points. And after the game, Liggins cut Calipari in line to be the first to shake Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl’s hand. It was Pearl’s first SEC game back after being suspended for recruiting violations. Pearl was peppered by fans, causing security to intervene at halftime, and by signs in the student section. “That’s all sportsmanship,” Liggins said. “I respect him as a coach.” Liggins said he heard some of the words being thrown at Pearl. “Yeah, but that’s none of my concern,” Liggins said. “I’m not into all that. We just came out trying to play the best we could.” It was close to it. UK came out charged up, using a 17-2 run to build a lead as large as 19 in the first half. Emotion was flowing from the start, with plenty of chest-pounds and fist-pumps and those ubiquitous threepoint hand signals (UK shot 7-for-18 from

The first state encyclopedia exclusively centered upon the lives of African Americans is being written and is expected to be completed in 2013. The Kentucky African American Encyclopedia will address the information deficiency of African American history. Co-editors John Hardin, Karen Cotton McDaniel and Gerald Smith began writing the encyclopedia in 2005. The text will cover subjects including important individuals, events and places. “Kentucky African American history has been limited at best,” said Sallie Powell, a research assistant for the Encyclopedia. “We’re addressing the issues of new discoveries; not only formerly unknown people but communities, churches, cemeteries, organizations (and) events,” Powell said. The reference book will include topical essays concerning slavery, education, sports, women and religion. A project of this magnitude has multiple difficulties. It can be difficult locating information, said Josh Farrington, a research assistant for the See KAAE on page 2
All shook up: February gets new name Governor declares Earthquake Awareness Month By Hannah Ellis news@kykernel.com
When the month of February is mentioned, the first thought that comes to mind is Valentine’s Day or Black History Month. Now there is another label to add to the second month of the year: Earthquake Awareness Month. Gov. Steve Beshear declared February as Earthquake Awareness Month in Kentucky. The Emergency Management Division may have led the governor to the decision, said Michael Lynch, geology technology transfer officer for the Kentucky

Geological Survey and former earthquake program coordinator for the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management. “Each year, we asked the governor to declare Earthquake Preparedness Month or Week, and I’m confident that the Emergency Management Division was again the source of this declaration,” Lynch said. Lynch said the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which lies in Arkansas and Missouri, can affect parts of western Kentucky. He said there was a time when the state actually felt the waves of an earthquake, which

of earthquakes. “Before this geology class I never considered earthquakes a big deal, but after the lecture about the damage that earthquakes can cause, I was kind of like ‘wow,’ these are something all people should be aware of,” Knott said. Not many people realize that the small tremor that was felt in the 2008 earthquake had caused any sort of damage to Kentucky. Susan Kuegel, psychology student, said that earthquakes do not make her nervous. “All 23 years of my life I have been a Kentucky resident, and I can only recall one earthquake that lasted a minute,” Kuegel said. “But I do think it is good to make people aware of the procedures to follow if one does occur.”

Spring break prep: help to shed last few pounds By Kelsey Caudill news@kykernel.com
With March right around the corner, many UK students are hitting the gym and cutting the calories to put the finishing touches on their spring break physiques. UK health consultants offer advice to students in an effort to curb crash dieting and overexertion in the month before spring break. Erica Dhuy, a certified athletic trainer at UK Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, said the most important thing to remember when training is to work out in a way that prevents injury. “A lot of times people will start out not having any conditioning,” Dhuy said. “It’s better to start out a little bit slower.” Dhuy said students aiming to tone up before spring break need to target opposite muscle groups by cross training. She said students can build muscle and avoid injury by alternating between weight lifting, running and swimming. “Whenever you strengthen one body part, you want to make sure you’re not neglecting another,” Dhuy said. Dhuy’s other tips for an effective workout regimen are stretching before and after exercising, drinking lots of water and increasing daily activity.
For more information Students with injuries can visit UK Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine to create a workout regimen that won’t effect injuries, in Wing C, on first floor of Kentucky Clinic. Dhuy said it is not necessary to work out five days a week, but for students who choose to do so need to follow these rules in order to prevent injury and overexertion. “It’s really unhealthy to work out and then stop. A lot of times if you lose just five pounds not only will you gain it back, you’ll gain back more,” Dhuy said. Consistency is the key to seeing results, she said. “More consistent activity throughout the entire day will increase your metabolism and your calorie loss,” Dhuy said. Dhuy said that eating balanced meals is also crucial to maintaining an effective fitness regimen. “Whenever you have a meal, you want have a protein, a complex carb, a vegetable or fruit, and a low-fat dairy product.” Registered Dietitian Jill
Kindy said students should focus on achieving steady weight loss. “One to two pounds per week is appropriate,” Kindy said. “Don't plan on losing more than five to ten pounds by spring break.” Kindy said students can cut calories by using the palm of their hand to measure most meal portions. She also advised students to avoid fried foods, to leave food on their plates and to limit liquid calories—sodas, energy drinks, lattes, punch, lemonade and alcohol. Beth Atnip, campus recreation fitness director at UK, said that the Johnson Center staff offers a “Get Fit for Spring” eight-week fitness challenge. Sign-ups run through March 11 and are free for UK students. The Johnson Center hopes that students will want to maintain their fitness after the break, Atnip said. Atnip said the Johnson Center also offers a variety of group fitness classes for students who want to lose weight or get in shape. “We know students want to get ready for spring break, but the goal would be for students to continue on their fitness afterwards,” Atnip said.

BILL Continued from page 1 Groups of people lined the halls of the state representatives’ offices. Many of the people were wearing shirts that read, “Do I Look Undocumented to You?” Along with the help of a volunteer lobbyist, Martin and Smith were in a group of eight attempting to get an appointment with any member of the House. Although they would not lobby, Smith knew that the rally would have the greatest impact of the day and addressed his group. “Numbers are going to speak louder than words,” Smith said. As the demonstrators made their way out onto the steps, they passed a sign with a slogan not made by any of the rally attendees. The sign had a common phrase displayed by the government that summed up what the demonstrators wanted people to realize: All Men are Endowed by their Creator with Certain Unalienable Rights. The more than 1,000 people estimated to have who gathered on the steps were not deterred by the mid-20 degree weather. The demonstrators held signs with phrases such as “What Happens in Arizona, Stays in Arizona,” “Stop Destroying Our Families,” and Kentucky’s state motto, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” The crowd chanted in Spanish and English and many speeches were recited

KAAE. “One of the problems with (researching) African American history is the sources,” Farrington said. “The Lexington Herald-Leader did not talk about civil rights during the Civil Rights Era. So you have to go to African American papers (and) oral histories, and a lot of this is difficult to find, particularly information about slaves.” Program researchers also combat the issue by using other resources, such as genealogy databases, photographs and U.S. Census data, which have been invaluable in providing his-

torians more insight into the past. The KAAE encourages students, even undergraduates, to become potential contributors. By following the writing guidelines provided on the KAAE website, students are eligible to select available topics and have their entries published in the encyclopedia. “It’s a great chance to get published, and a great thing to put on your resume, especially if you’re going into an academic career…there are enough topics there to find something you’re interested in,” Farrington said. The encyclopedia is published by the University Press of Kentucky. Those interested in assisting with the history of Kentucky African Americans can contact reasearch assistants via website or visit their offices in the Margaret I. King Library.

Team Notes
“I’m not into all that.
• Kentucky is 29-0 at Rupp Arena under Coach John Calipari. • UK has won 30 in a row at home, beginning with the 2009 NIT game at Memorial Coliseum and continuing with the last 28 at Rupp. It is the second-longest active streak in the nation. • UK is 17-0 this season when holding the opponent under 68 points. • Kentucky has made at least one three-point shot in 772 consecutive games.
We just came out trying to play the best we could.” DEANDRE LIGGINS UK junior guard
“You know what that was? Jitters,” Calipari said. “I couldn’t even get mad.” Terrence Jones had five of those turnovers, part of an offensive game Calipari called “awful” as he shot 2-for-8 and scored 11 points. But Jones, notching his eighth doubledouble of the season, also had four blocks and 11 rebounds – the rebounds were his commitment – and said he had fun despite the poor personal showing. “Terrence almost had a triple-double – 11 rebounds, 10 points, 10 turnovers [he had eight],” Calipari said. “But Terrence today had four blocks and 11 rebounds. … That’s why we won, because he rebounded and blocked shots.” While Tennessee closed the half on a 10-0 run, cutting UK’s lead to seven points, the Cats answered with a 13-0 spurt early in the second half to build the lead back to a comfortable margin. Tennessee never got within 10 again. “From there we never looked back,” Harrellson said. Follow Aaron on Twitter @KernelASmith.

UK junior guard Darius Miller pulls up for a shot against Tennessee on Tuesday night at Rupp Arena.
Former UK guard John Wall was in a familiar spot after the Tennessee game — holding court with the media in the UK locker room. Wall, now a rookie point guard with the Washington Wizards, had come back to watch UK take on Tennessee, and was the ‘Y’ at the end of spelling out Kentucky. He spent time with the UK players before the game, and was sitting in Enes Kanter’s empty locker — adjacent to Brandon Knight’s locker — after the game. After the win, UK head coach John Calipari said he wouldn’t mind if Wall came to every game. “He watches every game we play,” Calipari said. “He looked at me about Terrence (and said) why does he settle for jumpers? Why doesn’t he dunk balls? I said, ‘I don’t know, go talk to him, coach him a little bit.’ He has a good beat on our team, he wants to be here.” Terrence Jones said Wall keeps in contact with the team. “I mainly text him when I’m struggling, what I should do, how to handle things,” Jones said. “He told me to listen to coach. He’s a good friend, someone I can look up to.”

A case of Canadian shanks The ugly truth: Canuck athletes fall short in the big leagues NICK CRADDOCK Kernel columnist
One play has never summarized the history of Canadian forays into the traditional American sports so well. During the Super Bowl, kicker Shaun Suisham, the only Canuck on either Pittsburgh or Green Bay’s roster, missed a 52-yard field goal late in third quarter that would’ve cut the Packers’ lead to one point and perhaps changed the outcome of the game. Suisham simply flubbed the kick, wide-left. Given the circumstances that occurred before the game, you could say he Aguilera-ed it (“Fergie-ed” it and “Roethlisberger-ed” it work, too). Like a good Canadian,
I’m sure Suisham was terribly apologetic to his teammates after his miscue; Even so, his missed kick typifies the mediocrity of most Canadians (because players such as Steve Nash and Joey Votto are rarities, let’s be honest) trying to earn a living outside of the sports Canadians excel at: hockey, curling and throw-Eskimo-babycatch-Eskimo-baby. Here is a list of other Canadian sports figures who will/never did wow you: Eric Gagne — he won the 2003 Cy Young Award and posted 84 consecutive saves during his MLB career, only to later admit to using steroids sullying his accomplishments and once again convincing me that with a little HGH and chewing tobacco I could be a 50-homerun hitter in the Majors coping with ‘roid rage and breast development. Jamaal Magloire —
member of UK’s 1998 national championship hoops team, he now plays for the Miami Heat. Sad thing is, Magloire contributes to the Heat as much as I do, but I won’t be eligible for a championship ring. Joel Anthony — this French-Canadian is a, umm, energy player for the Heat. I’m sure LeBron James requires him to be on the roster because he likes how it sounds when he is complimented in French. Todd MacCulloch — he was everyone’s favorite, ginger 7-footer who had to retire because of plantar fasciitis. Samuel Dalembert — kind of like MacCulloch, sans ginger-ness and plantar fasciitis. Jay Triano — he failed to make it to the NBA as a player, so he eventually embarked on a coaching career. Currently, he is at the helm of my beloved Toronto Raptors, one of the NBA’s worst teams. Great career choice. Mike Vanderjagt — one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, but he

‘The Eagle’ soars into cloud of disappointment Channing Tatum ‘steps up’ from dancer to Roman soldier By Roger Moore MCT
The mystery of the disappearance of Rome's IX Legion Hispana inspires yet another moderately rousing action picture in "The Eagle," a film based on Rosemary Sutcliff's popular 1950s novel about "The Eagle of the Ninth." Eagle-eyed periodpiece fans will recall that last fall another movie, "Centurion," drew inspiration from the same piece of history.

He must overcome the skepticism of his patrician uncle (Donald Sutherland, less interesting
gives this World Without Women a hint of Hemingway's homo-eroticism, a touch that may earn titters from lesssophisticated filmgoers. For my money, "Centurion," using similar Scottish and Eastern European locations and with the formidable Michael Fassbender as its star Roman, is a more rousing and entertaining movie. But Macdonald gets more out of his Scottish locations (he is a Scot, after all), and had the budget to get a lot of detail right. The film's early scenes of marching, clanking soldiers and brutish slaughter let you

That film, essentially a prolonged chase from Bmovie vet Neill Marshall ("The Descent"), had a breathless momentum that "The Eagle" lacks. But "Eagle" director Kevin Macdonald ("State of Play," "The Last King of Scotland") manages to deliver a striking, nicely detailed, visceral thriller built on a corny, old-fashioned script. Channing Tatum plays Marcus Aquila, a young soldier with a new command on a fort on Roman Britannia's frontier. He's the sort of chiseled, charmed warrior who doesn't need his helmet half the time, who hears what others don't and senses the Big Attack when the veterans of the outpost think "the boy" is just skittish.

Tatum's rock-solid build has always suggested "soldier," even when he was playing a dancer in "Step Up." But he's not a commanding presence, especially playing a commander. He throws what weight he can into scenes in which Marcus prays that he doesn't "dishonor my legion," and behind such lines as "The Eagle is not a piece of metal. It is ROME." Tatum handles the brawls beautifully and clicks with most of his co-stars, especially Bell. Their male bonding

I don't want to hear Sutherland or the great Mark Strong ("Sherlock Holmes") sounding like guys you might hear at a Crimson Tide game. Outside of "Gladiator" (clearly a big influence on this film), these movies don't seem to go over on this continent the way they do in Europe. That's the real mystery here.

Challenge views, open minds I’d like to think I’m a pretty open-minded person. I try to take everyone’s opinion in stride, and understand that all voices deserve to be heard. But even with all of my efforts, I have to realize that my own prejudices will SHANNON come through FRAZER every time. Kernel I encourage columnist the university community to share its stances on various issues because I want to present balanced opinions on those topics. More importantly, though, I ask for different viewpoints because I know that eventually, I have to take a side. I want supporters of the other side to have their equal say. We are shaped by our experiences, biases and fears. We act a certain way or think one view is
favorable because that is what we are brought up to believe, or how past situations have conditioned us to react. For every person who believes one thing, there is another person who believes exactly the opposite. And that doesn’t include all of the shades of gray in between. That is what I love most about people. We are not bound by instinct alone to determine our next course of action; we have the will to choose. The majority of people determine what is “most right” by personal intuition. These people think it’s detrimental to take on others’ views, especially if those views don’t support their ideas of what is right. Once they identify their beliefs, they gain a self-realized sense of privilege to advise others to share in those beliefs. Adamantly (and publicly), I choose to take the opposite side. It’s dangerous to think personal
perspective is the end all, be all. The most viable solution to combat this mentality is to practice selflessness. I advise taking a hypothetical walk in someone else’s shoes and see what happens. Even when presented with a perspective completely different from my own or with which I whole-heartedly disagree, I can still get something out of it. I can learn to view things through another pair of eyes, to consider others’ experiences and cultural norms that may seem foreign to me initially. My sense of self and its relationship to the world around me is forcibly changed when I realize there is someone out there who perceives that same world in a radically different way. My views are challenged. And that is the point when my mind truly may be opened. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. E-mail sfrazer@kykernel.com.

The UK ice hockey team, shown here in a game against the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, holds hopes of making the 2010-11 postseason tournament. The team is No. 10 in the latest conference rankings.
Cool Cats check in to Top 10 Weekend without games allows team to rest and practice By Gary Hermann sports@kykernel.com
The UK ice hockey team appears to be in the driver’s seat for a regional tournament appearance after a weekend without a game and the release of new American Collegiate Hockey Association rankings. The Cool Cats have earned a No. 10 ranking in the ACHA Southeast Region, which would give them the final spot in the Regional Tournament field and a shot at Nationals. Junior forward Michael Getz is very pleased to crack the top 10, but said he expected the team to be ranked higher at the beginning of
the season. “We didn’t really want it to come down to the wire like that,” Getz said. UK is only four points behind No. 9 Bowling Green, but 12 points ahead of No. 11 Maryland. “Going into (Ohio State) we thought we needed to win both games,” freshman forward Gray McLaughlin said. “It’s such a relief we made it. We were really biting our nails.” After the team heard about being in the top 10, “We celebrated pretty hard,” junior forward Josh Knicker said. The team was swept by OSU in its two previous games before the rankings came out.
The team has games against Missouri State Friday and Saturday and two games against Akron on Feb. 18-19 which can still affect its ranking. “We are not taking anybody lightly,” Getz said. The Cool Cats will play the remainder of the regular season at the Lexington Ice Center. The team did not have a game over the weekend and used the time to fine-tune its strategy for the rest of the season. “We just practiced like we normally would,” Getz said. “We worked on the plan we are going to use at Regionals.” McLaughlin said the team had two hard practices and did most of its training on its own during its weekend off from game action. “We hit the gym every
Liggins and Harrellson feed off home cooking Orange you glad that the Cats got to face the Tennessee Volunteers and experience the return of Bruce Pearl (and the creamsicle blazer) from an eight-game suspension in Rupp Arena? If you’re a UK fan you should be because, frankly, it’s downright odd how different the Cats continue to look when playing at home compared to when they are playing on the road. They NICK seem so much more confiCRADDOCK dent and everybody else on Kernel the team, aside from stud columnist freshmen Terrence Jones and Brandon Knight, seem to be able to contribute big minutes in the friendly confines of Rupp Arena. That “everybody” on Tuesday night meant veterans, namely junior guard DeAndre Liggins and senior forward Josh Harrellson, stepping up in a big way. On this night, Liggins and Harrellson finally understood the message UK head coach John Calipari has been trying to drill into his veterans for much of the season: The onus for success rests with them. “How about this?” Calipari posed. “We made a run with Brandon sitting on the bench, and we also made a run when I took Terrence out early in the second half.” In Knight’s and Jones’ absence from the floor, it would’ve seemed strange to predict Liggins, the defensive miser yet persistent flopper, and Harrellson, who had managed to score only 41 points in his last nine games after scoring a career-high 23 points versus Louisville, would eventually become the Cats top two scorers against the Vols, with 19 and 16 points, respectively. Then again, predicting Pearl’s orange jacket or Vols guard Scotty Hopson’s Fresh Prince of Bel Air-esque haircut would qualify as fashionable for 2011 standards before the game would’ve seemed strange, too. But that’s exactly what happened. Nonetheless, Calipari had nothing but the highest of praise for Liggins and Harrellson. “Fabulous, (Liggins) was fabulous … He deserves it the way he defends,” Calipari said. “Man, did Josh Harrellson play well, he’s capable of doing that.” Liggins’ offense was spurred by what could’ve been his most intense defensive effort all season; he yelled and fist-pumped like a Jersey Shore cast member when he drew Hopson into committing an offensive foul in the second half concluding a frustrating night for the former Mr. Kentucky Basketball. “I rattled (Hopson), I was into him and I

UK’s Josh Harrellson goes to the hoop during the Cats’ game against Tennessee on Tuesday. He finished with 16 points and six rebounds. was doing something he was uncomfortable with,” Liggins said. Though Liggins can’t be expected to match his career high in points every game, he along with his teammates made commitments to Calipari this week in hopes of avoiding the selfish brand of basketball that has cost the team four close losses on the road. “(Calipari) wanted me to be more selfish today and be more aggressive in the offense,” Liggins said. Liggins said he and his teammates called out Harrellson for not being aggressive in practice the past two weeks, during which time Calipari said the big man had been “BS’ing” practice. Naturally, Harrellson’s commitment to his team was to become more aggressive: “I just kind of went through the motions and stopped playing as hard as I had been playing and I just had the mentality where I was going to leave it all out there,” he said. If these commitments continue when the Cats return to the road, an opposing team’s arena will be like a home away from home. Nick is a journalism senior.

day,” Knicker said. Even though the team didn’t play Tennessee this weekend due to a scheduling conflict several players still visited the state. “A bunch of guys went down to Gatlinburg and rented a cabin,” McLaughlin said. “It was great for team bonding. We grew closer together and had a lot of fun.” Getz said there are 10 good teams in the Southeast Region and the games will be very competitive. However, the Cool Cats are ready for any team, including OSU. “We feel like we can beat (OSU) at Regionals if it comes down to it,” Getz said. Despite the losses to OSU, the team feels it just needs to keep playing hard. “We’ve got to keep that thirst and keep rolling,” Knicker said.
