Coal is a hot topic of discussion onUK's campus, but on Tuesday, one group ofstudents let the numbers do the talking.

Students with UK Beyond Coal, a cam-paign started this semester by the SierraClub and UK students advocating alterna-tive energy, stood along a sidewalk betweenWhite Hall Classroom Building and theRalph G. Anderson Building from 10:45until 11 a.m. and advocated powering UKwith renewable energy rather than coal, butthey did not speak a word.

The students stood silently holdingsigns with coal statistics from the Environ-mental Protection Agency written on them.The signs carried information about theamount of coal mined in the U.S. per year,the amount of coal used in the U.S. per dayand health and environmental statistics.

“We wanted (the demonstration) to beinformational and encourage students to re-search more on their own,” said BeccaBarhorst, a political science freshman and

event planningcoordinator withUK BeyondCoal. “We justpresented the in-formation. Wedidn't talk. Wedidn't say any-thing.”

Miranda Carter, campaign organizer forUK Beyond Coal and employee of the Sier-ra Club and Green Corps, said the goal oftheir efforts is to have a meeting with UKPresident Lee Todd and ask him to pledgeto identify a renewable energy source thatcould power campus and to implement thatsource of energy by 2015.

“UK has the chance to be a leader in en-ergy innovation and to do great things,”Carter said.

After the demonstration ended and thesigns had been gathered, Barhorst waspleased with the event and said she couldsee people reading the signs as they walked

Wednesday afternoons atthe Wesley Foundation onColumbia Avenue are punc-tured by the sound of coun-try tunes and Dan Graham’smelodic voice as he sere-nades his students whilethey dance in mathematicalformations.

“From a jack to a king,from loneliness to a weddingring …” he sings.

Graham’s square danc-ing group has been workingtoward its goal of represent-ing UK at the National

Square Dance Convention inLouisville in June, but a lackof participants remains anobstacle.

“We would love to getabout three squares of peo-ple so that we can go to theNational Convention andrepresent UK,” Graham said.“We want to promote squaredancing and keep the her-itage alive, but at the sametime, we want to promotethe university too.”

For the upcoming mayoralelection, students and Lexing-ton residents can blog, Tweetand Facebook their way to avoting decision.

On Wednesday, AwesomeInc. will host a mayoral forumsponsored by the ScrippsHoward First Amendment Cen-ter that will be unlike any otherforum seen in Lexington.

The four candidates will sitamongst traditional media,

bloggers and Lexington resi-dents to answer questions sub-mitted by media attendees con-cerning issues facing Lexing-ton.

“I envisioned it as both anexpansion of ways that peoplecan politically participate to in-clude more of the digital thingsthat people have been embrac-ing, and also as an informationsession,” said Kakie Urch, aUK journalism professor andorganizer of the forum. “Wedon’t have it structured as a de-bate.”

The candidates are MayorJim Newberry, Vice Mayor JimGray, former mayor TeresaIsaac and technology managerSkip Horine. Urch hopes the fo-rum will be the first chance forresidents to see where candi-dates stand on issues facingLexington.

The bloggers will sit sepa-rate from traditional media out-lets such as the Kernel, the Her-ald-Leader and WKYT-TV.Each member of the media inattendance was asked to submitquestions in advance, and Urch

said she reviewed the questionsto ensure they were fair and re-lated to public concerns in Lex-ington.

Newberry’s campaign re-cently questioned the inclusionof blogger Joe Sonka, whowrites a blog called “Barefootand Progressive.” Sonka hasopenly criticized Newberry andIsaac. Newberry’s campaignclaims Sonka openly supportsGray and therefore will be bi-ased as a panelist, but Newberry

Educating thehigher-ups

By Taylor Moaktmoak@kykernel.com

It may have been twoweeks late, but students cameto rally.

Students from Kentucky’spublic universities traveled tothe Capitol in Frankfort Tues-day for the Rally for HigherEducation.

The rally was originallyscheduled for two weeks ago,but was postponed because ofsnowy weather.

The turnout for the rallywas smaller than in pastyears, but those in attendanceheard about the benefits of aKentucky education.

Gov. Steve Beshear said

when he came to office twoyears ago he had two priori-ties: education and jobs.

“(Our first priority wasto) get and give the very besteducation to the people ofthis state,” Beshear said.

Beshear said his officehas “stood fast on the priori-ties that will make this stategreat” and “maintained (the)commitment to education ofour people.”

Jonathan Miller, secretaryof Kentucky’s Finance andAdministration Cabinet, en-couraged students to speak upabout their concerns to statelegislators.

“We need to have yourvoices heard,” Miller said.

Miller asked students inattendance to chant “I amKentucky’s future” and tooka video of them doing so topost on Facebook.

The University of Mary-land is stealing one of UK’smost prized possessions.

Jay Perman, dean andvice president for clinical af-fairs at the UK College ofMedicine, was offered a posi-tion as president of the Uni-versity of Maryland on Tues-day. He accepted and willtake the position on July 1,2010.

“Dr. Jay Perman has donea tremendous job as Deanand has taken the College ofMedicine to new heights,”UK President Lee Todd saidin an e-mail. “When youhave outstanding people,sometimes they are affordedexcellent opportunities else-where.

“While we are obviouslydisappointed at losing Dr.Perman, we are excited forhim for the leadership oppor-tunity he has received, andwe wish him all the best in

that endeavor.”Perman said he was nom-

inated for the position andwas selected to interviewwith 16 othercandidates inmid-January.One weekago, the fieldwas narrowedto three andPerman wasagain inter-viewed by agroup of University of Mary-land officials including deansof the school and the board ofregents.

Perman said he is excitedabout his new opportunity,but disappointed to be leav-ing UK. He said he has beennominated for similar jobsbefore and was not interested.

As president of the Uni-versity of Maryland, Permanhopes to help the highly-ranked individual schoolscome together to gain nation-al exposure for the entire uni-versity.

“What I’m going to im-mediately tackle is that (theindividual colleges) need tosit much less as beautiful is-lands and build bridges be-tween them,” Perman said.

Perman said his experi-ence at UK will help him todo just that.

“When I was first ap-proached about the job Ihave, I could not imaginewhat a prestigious medicalschool they could have inKentucky,” Perman said.

“People are now asking,‘What’s going on in Ken-tucky?’ And that’s very dif-ferent than ‘What could be inKentucky?’ ”

Perman said the Univer-sity of Maryland was hopingto hire a highly visibleleader, and Perman believeshe can fulfill the role ad-mirably.

“These are always bitter-sweet moments,” he said.“This has been a wonderfulopportunity I’ve had at UK. “

Kevin Smith ordered to get off a planeThe big issue after settling into his February 13

Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Burbank, Cali-fornia, Smith was forced to disembark because his sizemade him a "safety risk." While he could buckle up andlower his armrests, a Southwest rep said his "cramped"seating could impede emergency exits. His recompense:a $100 voucher. The 240-pound Cop Out director tweet-ed the story to his 1.7 million followers: "You f--ked withthe wrong sedentary processed-foods eater!" In the fol-lowing 24 hours, Smith fired off more than 50 angry mis-sives. Southwest apologized on its blog the next day,and the airline's rep tells Us, "We're in the process ofrefunding him for his flight." Smith, 39, for his part, con-tinues to rant via Twitter (plus his blog and a podcast)but with a sense of humor: "[Try] the Southwest Air Diet.You're publicly shamed into a slimmer figure!"

Mandy Moore told to trim downThe big issue Moore, 25, said she was "mortified"

when given a mandate three weeks before stepping infront of the cameras for 2007's License to Wed. "Some-one pulled me aside and said, 'They want you to lose 10pounds,'" says the 5-foot-10 star, an estimated 142

pounds at the time. She began dieting and working witha trainer (she's now a size 6), but her confidence wasshaken. "My feelings were hurt," Moore has said.

Tyra Banks called ugly namesThe big issue "America's Next Top Waddle." "Tyra

Porkchop." Tabloids had a field day after unflatteringphotos of the talk show host surfaced in 2006. "Luckily,I'm strong enough [to] overcome these kinds of attacks,"the 5-foot-10 former model, 36, said. Then 161 pounds,she guessed she had added 30 since gracing the coverof the 1997 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Now backto a size 8, she says, "I feel good about my curves."

Ryan Gosling lost a plum roleThe big issue After being cast as a dad in The Love-

ly Bones, the actor, then 26, opted to gain weight (byeating grilled cheese every day, says a source) to agehimself for the part. But in October 2007, before shoot-ing began, director Peter Jackson spied the extra 20pounds on Gosling's 6-foot-1 frame — and the role wentto a trim Mark Wahlberg.

With the tobacco ban in effect now forthree months, it was time for a progress re-port from the university. Has this cultureof compliance that Tobacco-Free CampusInitiative Task Force Co-Chairs AnthanyBeatty and Ellen Hahn have preachedabout actually become the norm?

On one hand, yes. According to a Feb.17 Kernel article, the number of people us-ing university-provided resources to quitsmoking has doubled since the tobacco banwent into effect at UK.

While the number of participants mayseem small compared to the more than26,000 students on campus — not includ-ing all of the faculty and staff — it is astep in the right direction for these smok-ers and their health.

According to the Kernel article, thenumbers of individuals who have used var-ious UK resources are as follows:

■ 58 enrolled in nicotine replacement■ 67 participated in phone- and e-

mail-based programs■ 19 used free nicotine replacement

therapy■ 51 received counseling from a to

bacco treatment specialist.Assuming the people using those treat-

ment options were unique individuals, 195people, on record, have been helped by theuniversity to deter their smoking habits.These numbers do not include individualswho may have quit without using UK’sservices.

"I think the bottom line is ... for a newpolicy like this, I think it's going well,"

Hahn said.While it may be going well for those

200 or so documented individuals, the uni-versity should drop the smoke and mirrorsact and realize people blatantly ignore theban on a daily basis.

According to the same Kernel article,only two individuals reported tobacco vio-lations, but neither person had followedthrough with bringing their report to theDean of Students or Human Resources.

Hahn said she believes the low numberof violations indicates that people are com-plying with the ban.

But let's not kid ourselves. Some peo-ple have used the university's resources toquit and surely others have sought treat-ment elsewhere, but many individuals arestill smoking on campus with no intentionof quitting.

If the UK population wants to get seri-ous about this tobacco ban, reports need tobe made and followed through to the Deanof Students or Human Resources. If not,the tobacco ban will be nothing but mean-ingless signs littered throughout campus.

Tanya Shumaker, a management, economics and politi-cal science freshman, said she came to the rally because sheis concerned about tuition increases and the funding ofschools.

Shumaker said she also wanted to hear the “governor’stake on need-based scholarships.”

Colton Jessie, a broadcasting junior at Western Ken-tucky University, was a student keynote speaker.

Jessie said the scholarships he received through stateprograms like the Governor’s School for the Arts are one ofthe reasons he can afford his higher education.

“I am a Kentucky education,” Jessie said.The state government should not cut funding because a

Kentucky education will move us forward as a state, Jessiesaid.

Jessie encouraged students to speak up to state legislatorsabout the continued need for funding of higher education.

“Demand your education be invested in,” Jessie said.“Because we are the future and worth investing in.”

professor T. R. Tauchert saidhe rescheduled his class to al-low his students “an opportu-nity for them to discuss theiropinion.”

A group of about 25 min-ing engineering students ap-proached Barhorst, Carterand a dwindling group of UKBeyond Coal representatives.Despite the cold, Barhorstand Kyle Beck, a businessjunior, began a discussionwith the group of mining en-

gineers.“I was worried at first

that it would be a yellingmatch, but it wasn't like thatat all,” Beck said. “Each side

wants to bring up info and in-form the other side. It wasnice. We shook hands and allthat.”

Beck said he exchangedcontact information with a

few of the mining engineersand they agreed to meet at alater time to talk further.

Barhorst and Carter said509 people on campus haveshown interest in getting in-volved with UK BeyondCoal. At the beginning of thesemester, the group began itscampaign by sending post-cards from 824 students toTodd urging him to move UKaway from coal as a source ofenergy.

“All we want is what'sbest for UK … but we're incoal country,” Barhorst said.“You will find the majorityof people in Kentucky are forcoal and it’s understandable.We just want to inform cam-pus and get people in-volved.”

tember, they invited Grahamto call the dancing. After-ward, he recruited about ninestudents to take a squaredancing class through thefoundation.

“It’s been difficult becauseof Christmas holidays,” Gra-ham said. “We have more fel-las than girls … but we justgot permission from WesleyFoundation to invite other stu-dents from the campus tocome over and join us.”

Graham said he believessquare dancing is a morewholesome alternative to theactivities many college stu-dents participate in, such asdrinking and partying.

Students are easy to teachbecause they learn so fast,Graham said. What takesmost people up to 23 weeksto learn can take students aslittle as 10 weeks.

“It’s unique,” Spanish andlinguistics junior Christopher

Jameson said. “There aren’tmany young people whosquare dance.”

Brooke Francis, an unde-cided freshman, said shegrew up line dancing and en-joys attending square dances.

“People don’t put squaredancing and teenagers togeth-er,” Francis said. “But I thinkthat if they tried it, theywould really like it.”

Graham is a member ofKentucky Grand Squares, aWinchester area dance clubthat promotes square dancingas a fun, “low-impact aerobicactivity,” according to thedance club’s Web site. Re-cently, Kentucky GrandSquares adopted a UK chap-ter for Graham’s class.

Besides the entertainmentvalues of square dancing,Graham said it also has plen-ty of physical benefits.

“(Square dancing) de-creases your chances of get-ting dementia by 76 percent,”he said. “And it burns 300calories in half an hour ofdancing … I’m 69 years old.I feel like I’m 35.”

Graham said he hopes hisstudents will pass on the tra-ditions of square dancing totheir own families down theline.

“It’s something they cando anywhere they go in theworld,” he said.

Graham said about30,000 people are expected toattend the convention, whichwill include 32 dance halls.

In the meantime, Grahamteaches his students everyweek to continue developingtheir skills and love of thedance.

Sports

By Nick Craddockncraddock@kykernel.com

The UK women’s basketball coachingstaff is comprised of UK employees, but theyall were Volunteers at one time.

UK head coach Matthew Mitchell and hisassistant coaches Kyra Elzy, Matt Insell andShalon Pillow all share, in an ironic twist, aconnection to one of UK’s most-hated rivals:the Tennessee Volunteers.

“It’s something else because all of us hadincredible experiences at (Tennessee) thatmeant so much to us in our development aspeople,” Mitchell said.

UK has been the beneficiary of that devel-opment as the connections to Tennessee canbe traced to Hall of Famer Pat Summitt, headcoach of the Lady Vols and an important men-tor for all the UK coaches.

In the mid-1990s, Mitchell, who was acoach in the high school ranks, received asuggestion from a friend to assist at Summitt’ssummer camps. For three summers, Mitchellput in his time, and then, after his fourth sum-mer in Knoxville, Tenn., Mitchell was hired asa graduate assistant for the 1999-2000 season.

Away from his home state of Mississippi,Summitt welcomed Mitchell into what hecalled a “family atmosphere.”

On Summitt’s staff, Mitchell learned theimportance of practice to a team’s success, alesson he still employs with his team today.

“(Summitt) is incredibly consistent withenergy in practice,” Mitchell said. “The playersknew what to expect from an energy level.”

These players included Elzy, who playedfor the Lady Vols from 1996-2001, and Pillow,who played for the Lady Vols from 1998-2002.

“It was a chance to play at a national pow-erhouse and an opportunity to play for CoachSummitt, which is what every little girldreams of,” said Elzy, a Kentucky native, ofher decision to attend Tennessee.

Insell also worked at Summitt’s summercamps, but never coached alongside Summittdespite attending Tennessee as an undergradu-ate from 2001-2005. But Insell knows Sum-mitt well because his father, Rick, is goodfriends with Summitt and is head coach of thewomen’s basketball team at Middle TennesseeState.

The Tennessee connection may seemsomewhat conspicuous, but all four coachessaid that more important than their previousaffiliation is their commitment to a vision

where UK can sustain excellence over a peri-od of time like Summitt has managed to do in35 years at the helm of Tennessee.

“They have the history of winning,” Elzysaid of the biggest difference between the Catsand the Lady Vols.

But history might change as the pupilswill meet their teacher when the No. 16 Catshit the road to face the Southeastern Confer-ence-leading and No. 4 Lady Vols on Thurs-day. UK can still win the SEC regular seasontitle, but a win against the Lady Vols is neces-sary for that to happen.

“It’ll be an exciting game,” Insell said.“You take one game at a time, but you defi-nitely highlight Tennessee on your schedule.”

After a heartbreaking end to the 2009 sea-son in which UK barely missed the Southeast-ern Conference tournament, players aren’tlooking for personal redemption heading intothe clean slate that is the 2010 season.

Instead, they’re fixated on getting there forthe coaches.

“We’re trying to give the coaches whatthey deserve,” junior second baseman ChrisBisson said. “Not making it last year was dev-astating for them because they care the most.They get up early in the morning and stay uplate at night thinking about how they can getus where we want to go.”

Where the team wants to go this year isthe SEC tournament. The man looking toguide them to that destination is second-yearhead coach Gary Henderson.

In his first season as head coach, Hender-son said he saw plenty of learning opportuni-ties during a 28-26 campaign that saw fivefreshmen receive major playing time and in-juries decimate his bullpen.

“Last year was every bit as challenging asI thought it might be,” Henderson said.“Things come up that you wouldn’t have an-ticipated. You really can’t prepare for every-thing that happens that first year.”

Henderson will still be the same bespecta-cled coach in the same UK jersey in his sec-ond year. Not much will change.

But that doesn’t mean he will forge blind-ly ahead, oblivious to improvement. That at-tribute — the willingness and capacity to im-prove — is a staple of the program that he in-stills every day in his players.

“We want to have kids show up on a dailybasis working on getting better,” Hendersonsaid. “Baseball skills get better over time. Youhave to pound and grind to improve.”

It’s a mindset the players feel from themoment they first lace up their cleats for theprogram.

“As soon as you get here, whether you’rea freshman or a senior, he expects you to bringyour ‘A’ game,” Bisson said. “If you take abad practice, it’s polluting the environment.That’s instilled in everyone, regardless ifyou’re playing or not.”

Henderson said he wants to communicate,instruct and manage frustration better thisyear. Bisson said Henderson’s steady approachprovides a solid foundation for the team.

“Poised,” Bisson said of Henderson’scoaching. “Poised and confident and aggres-sive. You will never see any of us out of con-trol, at the plate, on the mound. And that’s areflection of him.”

If the baseball team’s mindset really is areflection of the skipper, it’s a reflection ofwhich the team can be truly proud.

“Everything starts with the coaches,” Bis-

son said. “This team has good chemistry,good camaraderie. It starts with the coachingstaff and spreads to the players.”

Senior catcher Marcus Nidiffer has seenHenderson throughout the spectrum of Hen-derson’s UK coaching career. Before ascend-ing to the head coaching spot in 2009, Hen-derson worked with the pitching staff. Nidiffersays Henderson has what it takes to guide ateam through the grueling grind of a longbaseball season.

“The mental side of baseball is the mostimportant part, and (Henderson) absolutelycrushes that part of the game,” Nidiffer said.“In baseball, a game of failures, your mind isgoing to get worn down, but you have to staystrong. He does a great job with that.”

And when the grind of the long baseballseason takes place in the particularly harshSEC?

“He prepares you for what the conferenceis going to bring,” Nidiffer said. “He gets youready for the 3,000 people you play in front ofevery night. You’re on a stage, and he helpsyou learn from that environment.”

But Henderson may have learned a littlebit himself.

“Any time you spend a year going througha job, getting a year of experience, there arethings you learn,” Henderson said. “What youlearn is that you are constantly in the businessof motivating and educating kids.”

Home opener postponedAs announced Tuesday, UK’s home open-

er against Murray State, originally scheduledfor Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m., has beenpostponed due to possible inclement weather.

The game has been rescheduled for 4 p.m.on March 15. UK (3-0) will resume its seasonon Friday at 4 p.m. with a home game againstBowling Green.
