Beaux Arts Ball Thursday STAFF “It just ends. It’s done.” — UK head coach John Calipari, on a season-ending loss. With a loss in the NCAA Tour- nament, the entire season momen- tarily crashes down. “Falls off a cliff,” as Calipari put it. Sure, there will be plenty of reflection. But the months-long buildup has an abrupt climax, one that came too soon for UK. As soon as UK’s season offi- cially ended with a 56-55 loss to Connecticut in the Final Four, the questions began in the locker room, asking about next year even as the players sat disappointed on their locker room chairs. The three star freshmen were all asked about the NBA and whether they would still be at UK next year. All three said their focus was this year only. “I don’t know,” Brandon Knight said. “I can’t tell you about the future.” “I’m not thinking about that right now,” Doron Lamb said. “I don’t know,” Terrence Jones said. “It’s the last game this sea- son. I’m not worried about NBA stuff right now.” Knight and Jones project as lottery picks, and Lamb is consid- ered a late first round to early sec- ond round selection. DeAndre Liggins said he would be evaluating his profes- sional options. “Right now I’m just focused on my academics, my family, my child and my girl,” Liggins said. “But when that time comes, I’ll talk with my family and Coach Cal and go from there.” Harrellson now has a profes- sional future to strive for. He was invited to the Portsmouth Invita- tional, a scouting opportunity for seniors. “Work hard, get better and get to the next level,” Harrellson said was his focus for the summer. “Hopefully I can make a living for me and my family.” Darius Miller was not asked about his future plans. The coaches, too, now face a shift. No more opponents to pre- pare for. “We just went six months with no days off,” Calipari said. “We also went to Canada, so that’s an- other three weeks. And now it just ends. So all the coaches out there, they know what I’m saying. It’s a tough deal.” What the future holds for UK players By Aaron Smith [email protected] On Monday, fast food pizza chain Sbarro Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following rising food prices and the bankruptcies of other fast-food chains during the economic downturn. According to the New York Times, Sbarro is working on re- structuring its debt, reducing it by $195 million and will emerge from bankruptcy as a stronger business. Still, with more than1,000 Sbarro locations worldwide, what does this mean for the future of UK’s popular Sbarro in the Student Center? “I’d be moderately upset if Sbarro closed down,” said Erik Bentley, a junior psychology and Japanese major. “It’s just so good and a lot of people love it.” Sbarro Inc. will continue nor- mal store operations during bank- ruptcy proceedings, and though go- ing completely out of business seems unlikely due to their restruc- turing plan, some students have hope for a new food chain in the Student Center. “I don’t really eat at Sbarro that much, so I would like the option of getting something new,” junior Russian major Ross Cowling said. For the many students who fre- quent Sbarro, the UK Dining Serv- ices said it has no plans for chang- ing the status of the pizza shop in the Student Center. “The Student Center Sbarro will not close,” Scott Henry, execu- tive director of Dining Services, said in an e-mail. “If Sbarro closes any stores, it will be company-op- erated stores.  As a franchise oper- ation, we do not contribute to Sbar- ro’s debt load.” Student center Sbarro remains open after bankrupcy By Alison Huddleston [email protected] Two institutions of higher educa- tion in Kentucky have submitted ap- plications to be considered a host site for a 2012 U.S. Presidential debate. Centre College, located in Danville, Ky., and Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), which is located in Richmond, Ky., are now among ten other colleges that are potential venues for the political discussions, according to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). The deadline for applying to host a debate was March 31. Dr. Clarence Wyatt, Chief Plan- ning Officer and Special Assistant to the President at Centre College, ex- pressed how important it is to be able to demonstrate that your facilities are capable of meeting the requirements that the Commission outlines. “It’s not much of an exaggeration in saying that there are a million de- tails that have to be addressed… it’s not a matter of turning on the lights and opening the door,” Wyatt said. “It requires a tremendous amount of preparation.” Some of the requirements that the CPD outlines include an air condi- tioned debate hall that would house at least 17,000, being in proximity of EKU, Centre apply to host 2012 debate By Jarrod Thacker [email protected] See EKU on page 2 Students will walk across campus barefoot Tuesday in participation with One Day Without Shoes, sponsored by TOMS shoes. The event is held worldwide to help spread the awareness for the mil- lions of kids who go without shoes every day by going barefoot for 24 hours. Sabrina Hounshell, President of the TOMS Shoes Campus Club, hopes stu- dents can gain insight to what it’s like to walk barefoot all day over different terrains and gain a better understanding of how important it is to have shoes. Tomorrow’s Shoes (TOMS) is a show company out of Santa Monica, Calif. that started the One Day Without Shoes event in 2006. TOMS practices a One for One campaign which will donate a brand new pair of shoes to a child in need with every pair of TOMS shoes purchased. Donations are custom made and delivered to children in the U.S., South America, Africa and Asia in some of the neediest regions. “While going the entire 24 hours without shoes is admirable, it’s under- standable that this cannot be done for health and safety reasons in all build- ings,” Hounshell said. “If you have to wear shoes and you have TOMS, wear them! If you don’t, go as many hours without shoes as you can and are able to. Committing to doing it at all is what One Day Without Shoes is all about.” If you plan on participating in One Day Without Shoes, Hounshell said there are no major safety concern, but be aware of your surroundings when going barefoot and carry a pair of shoes with you in case somewhere be- comes too hazardous to go barefoot. “People should participate because One Day Without Shoes is a simple way to raise awareness about a global issue,” Hounshell said. “By going barefoot you become a social activist, and that’s in itself a cool thing to ac- complish by just taking off your shoes.” For more information on the event, log onto www.TOMS.com. Going without shoes By Ellen Baker [email protected] Kentucky students have an opportunity to be involved in a music festival celebration to re- member their roots, celebrate the present and have hope for the fu- ture. On September 1, the Jubilo Music and Arts Festival will open its gates for the first annual festi- val to music lovers across Ken- tucky. The three-day music festival will host local bands on a 300 acre farm in Richmond, Ky., off of I-75. Jubilo founder and creator Robyn Baker plans on making this grass-roots event a memo- rable, fun and entertaining event. “I have fallen in love with music festival production,” Baker said. “The opportunity came for this festival to happen, and it was perfect.” Proceeds from the event will fund a program that will provide college scholarships and other ed- ucational assistance to students from Kentucky’s 54 counties in the Appalachian area. The festival production and direction team are combining ef- forts with Appalachian college students across the state. Volun- teers are being recruited with an interest or major in marketing, music production and web de- sign. “The student volunteer team will gain valuable work experi- ence in their fields, work with bands from the beginning and in the process earn money to help fund or reim- burse their col- lege tuition,” Baker said. A schedule for the event is a main priority and is currently be- ing produced. Producers hope to build a band roster of about 75 bands, in- cluding music of all genres and artists from around the nation, as well as the region. Daniel Shields is a designer for Jubilo and encourages stu- dents to spread enthusiasm for the event from the ground up. “We want to personalize this event as much as possible for those who choose to attend,” Shields said. Facebook is the tool Jubilo is using to get the word out by “lik- ing” the event’s page in an effort to create excitement about the event. “We want everyone to know about the event and have the opportunity to come,” Shields said. Jubilo supporters also said people inter- ested in the festival can suggest bands they would like to ap- pear at the festival in their Facebook page. More information about the festi- val will be available during the summer also through Facebook. “We’ve had 3,100 people ‘like’ the page for this event, which has never happened be- fore,” Baker said. “I believe that shows the interest students have in this type of festival.” Music festival coming to Ky.

A large-format (IMAX) nature film of thetype normally seen in museums and sciencecenters, "Born to be Wild 3D" celebrates theefforts of two intrepid women, half a worldapart, who rescue orphaned animals and returnthem to the wild.

This is very much "a fairy tale," as Mor-gan Freeman narrates. Director David Lickley("Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees") and hiscrew follow Birute Galdikas, a researcher onBorneo who evolved from studying orang-utans to saving them. Their habitat is beingdestroyed to make way for vast palm-oil plan-tations. Her team picks up the orangutans,some of them pets, and teaches them whatthey need to know to return to the jungle. Hu-man staffers become mothers to the orphanedones, feeding, bonding and singing lullabies tothem, keeping just enough distance to let themremain "wild." Once the apes are old enough,they're taken to a national park and released.

Daphne Sheldrick has been doing some-thing similar in Kenya with elephants or-phaned because their moms have ivory tusks.

For half a century, Sheldrick has been perfect-ing elephant baby formula and raising wholeherds of orphan elephants that return to thewild as a herd.

"Born to be Wild" is a playful film using3-D to stick an elephant's trunk or an orang-utan's mug in your face. Kids will get a kickout of the orangutan that gets into a kitchencupboard, orangutan burps and elephant soc-cer.

When Galdikas asserts that her corner ofBorneo's rain forest is her idea of "the originalGarden of Eden," you just might be con-vinced.

More hopeful and upbeat than NationalGeographic's current death-by-tooth-and-clawdocumentary "The Last Lions," "Born to beWild 3D" has a sprinkling of tunes (HankWilliams' "Jambalaya," Mel Torme singing"Coming Home Baby") that further lighten thetone.

Cute, but never insufferably so, "Born toBe Wild 3D" is best taken as the perfect filmto transition your kids from animation to live-action fare short, sweet and educational.

at least 3,000 hotel rooms lo-cated within 30 minutes fromthe host site and a mediaparking lot that has a capacityof at least 500 passenger ve-hicles, among other specifica-tions.

Centre will hold their po-tential debate in their NortonCenter for the Arts, in NewlinHall, their largest theatre,which seats 1400 people.

In 2000, Centre Collegehosted the Vice Presidentialdebate between Dick Cheneyand Joseph Lieberman.

“Having done this beforeis a tremendous asset,” Wy-att said.

Though this would bethe first U.S. Presidential de-bate that EKU has held, theydo not have to do withoutsome experienced help.

Debra Hoskins, execu-tive director of the EKUCenter for the Arts, was Di-rector of Programs at theNorton Center during the2000 Vice Presidential de-bate.

She is one of six peopleat EKU who have workedwith Presidential debates asprofessionals.

Hoskins said EKU was

able to complete its applica-tion process, which typicallytakes 2-3 months, in less thantwo weeks because EKU’scampus is already readily ac-cessible.

“We may be a new siteapplying for the debate, but(the CPD) seems to like totake it to new sites eachyear,” Hoskins said.

EKU is building a newstate- of- the- art structure,the EKU Center for the Arts,to serve as a venue for theirpotential debate. Photos ofthe projected site can befound at www.ekucenter.com.

Tom Harris, associatevice president for external af-fairs, affirms that UK current-ly has no plans to host a U.S.presidential debate due to thestrain that such an undertak-ing would place on the cam-pus, “…although clearly theuniversity has been privilegedto serve as host to a numberof wonderful speakers andcivic and political leaders.”

The Commission on Pres-idential Debates will visitthese locations from Aprilthrough June, and decisionswill be made in early fall.

Whoever said that words have no power wasmistaken. The proof? TakeBack the Night 2011.

I sat on the edge of my seatlast Wednesday evening, di-gesting the testimonial words Iwas hearing, the words ofbrave women and men whohad experienced some roughtimes. I could only wonderwhy.

Why do people commitsuch atrocities? Why are menand women who fall victim toattack often judged for whathappened to them, even if they

had no control over the situation? And why do

events like this, designed to bring awareness andspeak out against domestic violence and abuse,have to take place before community membersdo anything about it?

Take Back the Night 2011 was a success, butnot because of any one thing that occurred at theevent. In my book, the reason Take Back theNight can be called a success is by the sheer factthat it happened.

We need to realize that domestic violenceand abuse is a prominent issue in today’s society.As troubling as it is, more need to know about it.

More people need to know that one in threecollege students are victims of power-based per-sonal violence. They need to know that college-age people — specifically, the 18 to 24 agegroup — experience the highest rate of stalking.

And more people need to know practical waysto recognize, intervene and prevent violence.

Edgar Allen Poe got it right when he said,“Words have no power to impress in the mindwithout the exquisite horror of their reality.”

Violence and abuse is a reality, and eventslike Take Back the Night enable people with tiesto it to express how their realities have been af-fected by and because of it. These events helppeople to find community in the midst oftragedy, and to raise awareness among otherswho have faced or may face a similar fate.

Speak out. Use your words, for you may justsave someone’s life, and THAT is perhaps themost powerful thing of all.

While many members ofBig Blue Nation will havetheir eyes on new UK startingquarterback Morgan Newtonthis spring, a major focus forNewton and UK footballhead coach Joker Phillips willbe a brand new receivingcore, and more specifically onthe tremendous hole left inthe offense with the departureof do-it-all playmaker Ran-dall Cobb for the NationalFootball League.

In 2010, Cobb led theCats with 84 receptions for1,017 yards. He was also sec-ond on the team in rushingyards and managed to get theball in the end zone four dif-ferent ways (three passingtouchdowns, five rushingtouchdowns, seven receivingtouchdowns and a punt returnfor a score).

But as Newtown takes thehelm of Phillips’ offense, heremains optimistic thatCobb’s talent can be replacedin 2011.

“We have RaymondSanders and (CoShikWilliams) and hopefullysome (Brandon) Gainer, andwe are all very excited about

those guys,” Newton said.“We still got (Matt) Roarkand La’Rod (King) and BrianAdams, and we got E.J.(Fields). We got a lot of guys,and hopefully we got somefreshmen that can come in af-ter spring ball and possiblycontribute. We’re excitedabout what we got.”

While Newton is pleasedwith talent at the skill posi-tions around him, the questionstill remains: Who will be-come the Cats new go-to guyon the outside this season?

The leading candidateearly this spring is rising-ju-nior wideout La’Rod King. In2010, King was third onUK’s roster in receptions(36), receiving yards (478)and receiving touchdowns(5). He will return as the Catsmost battle-tested and provenwide receiver, and at 6-foot4-inches he provides a bigtarget on the outside tostretch the field deep andmake play in the middle ofthe field.

UK returns a few otherreceivers from 2010, but nonehave been standouts in theirtime as Cats. Among themare Brian Adams, who is oneof the fastest players on the

team but has been splittingtime this spring betweenplaying receiver for the foot-ball team and center field forthe baseball team, and MattRoark, who has three years ofexperience at UK but only 18career receptions and notouchdowns for his career.Whether one of these guys isable to step up into a startingrole and be a leader on an of-fense littered with new facesremains to be seen.

Then there are the guyswho look deadly on paper butmust now show it on the grid-iron. First among these namesis Gene McCaskill, a quick re-ceiver with good hands whohad 32 catches in his first twoseasons before missing hisjunior year due to injury. Mc-Caskill is an early contenderfor the starting job oppositeLa’Rod King when the Catsopen their 2011 season.

There is also Fields, asophomore from Frankfort,Ky. Fields has a lot of speedand the ability to beat defen-sive backs off the line ofscrimmage with his experi-ence as a track athlete in highschool, but like McCaskillhas been plagued by injuriesand has yet to catch his first

catch as a Cat. If Fields canstay healthy in 2011, the teamand the coaching staff expecthim to be a weapon in thepassing game.

With this much turnoverin the offense, UK stillsearches for the guy who canreplace Randall Cobb. As dy-namic as Cobb was at UK, itmay take all of these receiverstogether to fill his shoes. ButPhillips recalled the offensiveturnover after the 2007 seasonwith the departure of quarter-back Andre Woodson, andsays that the team’s successthe following year in 2008can be replicated in 2011.

“In 2007 we lost similarto the same amount of pro-duction,” Phillips said, “butthen we come back the nextyear and are sixth in theleague in scoring. We’ve beenhere before, it’s a familiarplace for us.

“It’s very similar that withDickey Lyons coming back asour leading receiver now wehave La’Rod King. We actual-ly have more experience at thewide receiver position thisyear than we did when wecame back in 2008 ... We’velost production before, but it’snot a concern of ours.”

Replacing Cobb no easy taskBy Ethan Levine

While most movies shown by theStudent Activities Board are big namefilms, fresh out of the theater or longentrenched in cinematic culture, Tues-day night’s showing will enjoy a localtwist.

Now in its second year, Big BlueBlockbuster gives UK students a chanceto shine in the art of filmmaking.

“We usually show movies that aremade professionally,” Brad Elliott, Di-rector of Cinema for SAB, said. “This isinteractive and gives UK students achance to show their work and be cre-ative.”

Elliott received eight submissions inthree different categories: narrative, doc-umentary and animation.

Submissions were required to be be-tween two and 10 minutes, but creatorshad no other limitations.

“There’s a lot of freedom with sub-ject matter and technique,” Elliott said.

Freshman Ben Norton, a music,Spanish and film study triple major, en-tered all three categories with his twinbrother. They are hoping to win withtheir newest film, a narrative titled “FillIt.”

“It’s a comedy, in a quirky and philo-sophical way,” Norton said.

Norton, a composer, also wrote thescore for all of his movies.

“I hope people enjoy it,” he said. “Ihope they get the themes, and I hope tofind more people to collaborate with ar-tistically.”

All eight submissions were judged

on Friday, and the audience will get thefinal say when they view and judge thefilms.

The winners of each category willreceive a Flip UltraHD video camera andgift cards to local movie theaters, amongother things.

Aside from the prizes, Norton is gladfor the chance to exhibit his skill, and toshare the film genre with an audienceand other filmmakers.

“Film is the king of art, a superlativeart,” Norton said, “It combines visual,musical and theatrical arts into one expe-rience.”

Elliott encourages all to attend at 8p.m., in Worsham Theatre.

“(They) aren’t professionals,” hesaid, “and they don’t have to be. A lot ofthese movies are really good.”
