As debates continue over whether or notUK will build a new basketball arena, somefaculty members feel the university has biggerpriorities in other places.
“Like most UK faculty and staff, I am asupporter of UK athletics and consider thosewho are real student-athletes as valuable andimportant members of the university commu-nity,” political science professor ErnieYanarella said in an email to the Kernel. “Thatsaid, I believe the overriding purpose of theuniversity is best captured in its three missionsof teaching, research and service to the univer-sity and wider community. I firmly believethat the UK athletics program should step upand contribute more to the UK general fund.”
UK athletics had a budget of $13.8 millionin 1987, when it began its annual donation of$1.25 million back to the university’s generalfund, according to Yanarella.
Today, the athletics budget hovers around$74 million. Its annual donation has increasedto $1.75 million, according to Yanarella.
In a time where UK is facing budget short-falls, and mustagain raise tu-ition to stayon par,Yanarella isnot the onlyone voicingconcern.
“I find ithard to be-lieve that [thedonation] isone out ofnearly 80 mil-lion,” Joe Peek, faculty representative for theBoard of Trustees, said. “In a time when ourbudget is so strapped, it seems like they shouldcontribute more.”
The idea of a new basketball arena lies atthe forefront of this debate. Some facultymembers would rather see excess athleticfunds routed back to UK instead of put towarda new arena.
UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart haspreviously stated that UK’s arena “must be thegold standard” in college basketball, whetherthat comes through renovations to Rupp Arenaor through a new arena. A task force has beenappointed by Mayor Jim Gray to explore thearena situation.
Yanarella argued that Lexington simplycannot support an additional arena, adding thatthe Lexington Convention Center already hastroubles paying for itself.
“Can the Lexington downtown really sup-port two arenas?” Yanarella asked. “Wouldn'tone become a white elephant when not usedfor sport? How many truck pulls and ice ca-pades can be offered to make both arenas fi-nancially viable?”
Peek believes UK faces more pressingneeds in the near future.
“I find [talk of a new arena] hard to ration-alize,” he said. “The time doesn’t seem right.The state, city and university are in a very dif-ficult financial situation right now.”
Among the most pressing concerns arefaculty salary and student tuition. PresidentLee Todd sent an email Tuesday promising athree percent average salary increase for facul-ty next year, saying that “the risk of mass de-partures that would come with another yearwithout salary increases is a risk we cannot af-ford to take.”
Todd also proposed a 6 percent tuition in-crease, which would equate to an additional$259 each semester for resident undergraduatestudents.
“Faculty and staff have suffered from nosalary increases, a big hit on faculty retireehealth care benefits, and other cuts on employ-ee benefits [in the past several years],”Yanarella said. “Meanwhile, students and theirparents have had to pay big taxes in the formof tuition increases at a time that UK's build-ings, laboratories and other educational facili-ties have deteriorated.”
Peek agreed that infrastructure is a pressingneed, calling it “embarrassing” in some places.
“We have much bigger priorities than anew arena,” he said. “I can see a new class-room building on central campus, that is anumber one priority.”
With tuition, salaries and infrastructure allin need of improvement, Peek acknowledgeda need for athletics and academics to work to-gether collectively during the coming year.
“We should all be in this together,” he said.No one in the athletics department was
available for comment regarding this article.

UK HealthCare may have theperfect job for students who havea passion for working with kids.
On Saturday, tryouts will beconducted to find the next twostudents who will become Stitch-es, the Kentucky Children’s Hos-pital mascot.
The kitten mascot makesweekly visits to children who arein the hospital and also appears atvarious events in Lexington andthroughout the state such as Lex-ington Legends Games, Kerring-
ton's Heart Events, the GoldenCorral 5k Run and Kohl's Asth-ma Events.
Stephanie Carlon, a hospitali-ty and management tourism soph-omore, has been the current mas-cot for the past year. She said themost fulfilling part of the job isgetting to visit the children on aweekly basis and see them smile.
“It is one of the most reward-ing things that I have ever donein my life,” Carlon said. “Thepeople and families that you in-teract with show you a wholenew perspective on life and haveall blessed my life immensely.”
UK HealthCare is looking tofill positions for both the primarymascot and an apprentice. Ascholarship is also available toboth students who are selectedfor the roles. UK HealthCareSenior Service Line ManagerCynde Estep said they need a stu-dent who is available throughoutthe summer to attend the variousevents.
“We are looking for somebodythat would be dedicated to servingboth the children’s hospital and thecommunity,” Estep said.
Carlon said that while this isa full time job, she would recom-
mend it to anyone who has aheart for kids.
“No matter how hot it is, howtired you might be or how crazyyour week has been, when youput on that suit and you get to seethe smiling face of a child thatyou know is otherwise not feel-ing well,” Carlon said. “It makesit all worth it.”
For those interested in be-coming the next Stitches, tryoutswill be held April 23 from 1-5p.m. at the Seaton Center. Formore information contact CyndeEstep at [email protected].

LOS ANGELES — Robert Pattinson has noth-ing but love for his recent experience on the set of“Water for Elephants,” director FrancisLawrence's adaptation of the popular novel that'sset to open in theaters Friday. It was a far cryfrom his current job, finishing the grueling six-month shoot for the back-to-back filming of thelast two “Twilight” films, based on StephenieMeyer's final book in her best-selling series ofyoung adult novels, “Breaking Dawn.”
Pattinson took a moment for a brief phoneinterview before he was needed on the set of anight shoot for the vampire mega-hit. He seemeddownright exhausted. “I’m just arriving at set,thinking I’m going to work all night,” he said.“I’m kinda losing my mind.”
Q. Sorry to hear you’re so exhausted. Can youtell us what your time was like on “Elephants,”with Reese Witherspoon?
A. It’s easily one of the best experiences I'vehad making a film and it's by far one of the bestexperiences in my life. It didn't even feel likework and a lot of that had to do with Reese. Shemakes an effort to make it like that. I think shebelieves that it's really important to enjoy your
work, especially when you have to be there for somany hours every day. I made a great friend outof it.
Q. How did working with the animals impactthe environment?
A. When you have totally unpredictable ele-ments, and there are dangerous elements in everysingle scene, everyone is in the same boat. Ifyou’re trying to herd up a pack of horses, it does-n't matter who you are. There is manure every-where and everyone was filthy all the time. Itwas an egalitarian set because of that. It’s quiteinspiring to be around (the elephant.) It doesn'treally matter what your taste is, everyone isgoing to like being around an elephant. It’s notlike being around another actor some people maynot like.
Q. Reese mentioned that she found thepaparazzi attention on you unlike anything she'sseen before. What do you think?
A. She’s trying to sound humble about all thisbut she’s in all these magazines every week. It’s acircus outside her marriage. Plus, I always see her(in them) buying her sandwiches and going toyoga. ... I guess she’s kind of accepted it in a lotof ways ... It’s just a strange situation to be in ifyou’re a sane person to have that kind of attentionput on you.

support, as well as increases in fixedcosts and other general operational ex-penses of the university,” Blanton saidin the email. “It should be noted thatthese additional dollars will, in no way,account for the growing financialneeds of this university. Additional in-stitutional budget reductions will stillbe required for the university to securea balanced budget.”
When asked to elaborate on what“educational programming” was, Blan-ton cited classroom instruction and fac-ulty salaries, as well as student supportservices such as advising.
“Significant dollars have beenspent, in recent years, on academic ad-vising to help improve retention rates,”Blanton said. He also talked about howimproved advising can contribute tostudents graduating more quickly, say-ing graduating on time is the quickestway to reduce debt.
When asked if students might seean immediate and direct change intheir educational experience, UK facul-ty trustees member Joe Peek was skep-tical.
“No … it just costs them extramoney,” Peek said. “Are we going tosee a higher quality education? I don’tknow. But, if we don’t get the money
something will get cut. Suppose theydidn’t raise tuition, then there would be$14 million of revenue that wouldn’tbe there, so they would cut expendi-tures.”
Peek said he didn’t know specifi-cally what expenditures would be cut,but recited a basic business principle.
“Expenses are going up, so rev-enue has to go up,” he said.
Blanton said that tuition and stateappropriations form the basis of theuniversity’s general fund budget.
State appropriations are decreasingfrom last year, meaning some moneyfor university operating expenses mustcome from increased tuition.
Blanton said the UK administrationunderstood how the cost of college go-ing up could be a burden to families,and expressed sensitivity to these chal-lenges.
“I think the Board of Trustees andthe president, and everyone who worksat the university ... understand this is atough balancing act,” Blanton said.“Especially since some of us have kids.I think that’s why the institution hasworked hard to increase scholarships.”
Blanton said in the last 10 years,the amount of scholarships the univer-sity awards have increased from $17.3million to almost $60 million a year.
“Almost 90 percent of our under-grad students receive financial assis-tance now,” he said, saying these fundswere coming from the university’s gen-
eral budget that is supported by tuition. Blanton said money from the gen-
eral fund budget does not go to UKathletics, which gets its funding else-where.
“No it does not, it receives no gen-eral fund dollars,” he said. “However,Athletics funds about $1.7 million an-nually for purely academic scholar-ships.”
Peek talked about a money track-ing problem with the budget.
“It’s just this problem of trackingthe money,” Peek said. “You can’t real-ly track the money. If you get a pay-check and put it in your checking ac-count, and then you turn around andbuy something, you can’t track eachdollar.”
He said the tuition increase will goto cover whatever expenditures wehave, but posed the question that onceit gets put into the university account,how will it be tracked?
“If we didn’t have a tuition in-crease, UK would presumably spend$14 million less, but I don’t know whatexpenditures would be cut,” Peek said.“That’s a good question to ask. Wouldit be something that students careabout? Would it be worth the in-crease?”
Students can attend a forum withUK administration at 8:30 a.m. Mon-day in Center Theater of the StudentCenter, to ask any questions they haveabout the proposed tuition increase.

kernelopinionsMaybe it’s a sign of the times.Technology has taken over, and begun to replace the en-
during, indisputably original entertainment source: the book.iPads, Kindles, Nooks — sure, they’re
all great. However, nothing can replace abook, in my book. But, that’s just what hashappened.
In case you haven’t heard, Joseph BethBooksellers has had to close four of its ninestores, and the Lexington location is on thechopping block.
With the recent announcement that theLexington location has elected to exit itsbankruptcy protection by the end of April, Ican only express my dismay.
No one wants tangible books anymore.Technology wins again.
On Wednesday, The Mall at LexingtonGreen’s management outbid Joseph-Beth’s founder in a closedauction “for the bulk of the well-known chain,” according toan April 21 Lexington Herald-Leader article. Lexington Green
manager Robert Langley, of Langley Properties Co., who hasworked with Joseph Beth’s founder for almost 15 years, ap-pears to be the tentative winner of the auction.
Langley has expressed desire to keep Joseph-Beth as abook retailer, but the store’s founder was shocked to see hissupport in safeguarding the company.
Auction results will be reviewed and potentially approvedApril 27 in bankruptcy court, according to the Herald-Leaderarticle.
Props to Langley for wanting to keep Joseph-Beth alive,but I’m not sure what innovations he has up his sleeve tocounteract the growing shift toward technology-based readingmaterials.
Face it, bookstores are beginning to be classified asthings of the past. It’s an injurious fact, but a harsh reality atthe same time. I can’t help my nostalgia, though.
One of my first memories of Joseph-Beth Booksellerswas by word of mouth.
My high school Latin teacher, who commuted from Lex-ington, would often speak about how the store was a must-seefor any of us Louisville natives who ventured into Wildcat ter-
ritory.I’ve visited the store many times during my UK career.
Did you know that the Lexington store was where the chainwas founded? Or that the Lexington location has been aroundsince 1986?
But longevity doesn’t seem to count for anything any-more.
This news is even worse than a real-life version of“You’ve Got Mail,” where some mega-giant bookstore im-pedes on the market that the Shop Around the Corner has heldfor years. No, Joseph-Beth was the equivalent of Fox Books.
It’s sad when even the giants can’t make it. Borders hadto close 228 stores as part of its own bankruptcy proceeding,and Barnes & Noble (the nation’s biggest book retailer) wasbought out in August 2010 and has continued to struggle.
I’ll say it again: Nothing can replace a book, in my book. No matter what the final fate of Joseph Beth Booksellers,
Lexington Green will never be the same. And yes, that most certainly will be a sign of the times. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. Email

The new “chapter” of technology puts books on the shelf
chandler howard | sports editor | [email protected] 04.22.11 page 4
For more than a monthnow the UK football teamhas put in the hours in thefilm room. For more than amonth the Cats havestrapped on the pads andtaken the hits on the field.For more than a monththey have relentlessly pur-sued improvement as afootball team in the diffi-cult Southeastern Confer-ence.
This Saturday, the teamwill play in the annual Bluevs. White scrimmage. Thegame represents the team’sfirst opportunity to showthe fans, the coaches andthemselves just how farthey have come throughspring practice and justhow close they are to beinga winning football teamcome fall.
“The spring game ishuge for us because it’s agame we are able to play inthe spring, and we won’t be
able to play again untilSeptember,” quarterbackMorgan Newton said. “Weare going to come out hereand play, see all the newguys in action. Seeingeverything we have put inthese last couple of weeksis going to be great. I’m
looking forward to it.”Among the things the
coaches will be looking foron Saturday is how wellthe Cats’ many new faceson offense work togetherand gel in real game ac-tion.
Early in spring prac-tice, coaches said the de-
fense was outplaying theoffense in practice ses-sions, but as of late it hasbeen the offense who hasdominated the defense. Ac-cording to safety WinstonGuy, the offense employeda no-huddle look this weekin practice, catching the
defense off-guard and un-prepared.
Whether or not the of-fense can keep up theirstrong play in Saturday’sscrimmage remains to beseen.
“(I’ll be looking for)overall execution,” Phillipssaid of his offense. “In
spring games you want tothrow the ball and every-body wants to see you throwthe ball, and I want to makesure we are being efficientin the throwing game.Throwing, catching, throw-ing it to the right people andjust moving the football.”
“Every time we get theball we should just go downand score, no questionsasked,” wide receiverLa’Rod King added. “Whenwe get the ball we know weare going to score.”
The coaching staff willalso be keeping a close eyeon the defense, who will bedebuting first year co-de-fensive coordinator RickMinter’s new-look defenseon Saturday.
“We got to be aggres-sive, we got to bring it,”Guy said. “This wholeweek, the offense has beenkilling us … Everybodyjust has to be on the samepage. People can’t get frus-trated, because when peo-ple get frustrated then peo-ple start pointing fingers,people start blaming stuffand it takes everyone out.”
“It seems like lately wehave hit a little bit of asnag,” linebacker RonnieSneed said, “but when wedo the defense right andeverybody is clicking onthe same page, it’s runningpretty good.”
Most importantly,every player on the Cats’roster wants to arrive onSaturday and show whatthis team is capable of. Nomatter the score, no matterthe result, the team simplywants to play hard andshow that they are capableof doing great things in2011.
“This Saturday I’m justgoing to come out here andball out,” King said. “Thedefense has been throwinga lot of tricks at us, it’s anew defense to read, but re-ally just do everything Ican do for my team.”
“The work starts now,”Phillips said. “Those guyspreparing for the offsea-son, for the summer, andmaking sure they do whatthey have to do to getthemselves ready to play inthe fall.”
Cats prep for annual scrimmageBlue-White game is UK’s spring test
By Ethan Levine
PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFUK head coach Joker Phillips looks on while former UK quarterback Mike Hartline runs the offense in last season’s Blue-White scrimmage. The offense won 60-25 in the 2010 matchup.
UK football alters spring game UK football was planning on
holding an offense vs. defense scor-ing system for the second year in arow for the Spring Game. It plannedon tinkering with the scoring systemto even things out and make thegame more competitive, at least onthe scoreboard.
But the format has been changedback to a traditional format, with theteam split into Blue and Whitesquads.
The White team will be the firstteam, and the Blue team will be thesecond team. Blue will get a 14-0lead to start the game.
“The players wanted more ex-citement and felt that a game formatwould do it,” head coach JokerPhillips said in a release. “I knowthat a scrimmage scoring system canbe confusing and this will be easierto follow.”
Phillips said the original idea ofoffense/defense was due to a limitednumber of players at some positions.In the current format, some playerswill be able to switch teams if neces-sary.
The game is scheduled for thisSaturday at 3 p.m. at Common-wealth. Admission and parking arefree and on first-come, first-servedbasis.

PHOTO BY AARON SMITH | STAFFThe UK men’s tennis team is gearing up for conference tournament play behind the lead-ership of junior Eric Quigley. The Cats enter the tournament ranked No. 3 in the SEC.
UK men’s tennis coaches andplayers are mentally preparing forthe matchup between the winnerof the University of South Caroli-na and Auburn match.
“I think our team is very fit,”head coach Dennis Emery said. “Ithink the (Southeastern Confer-ence) tournament becomes a littlebit of a physical grind, especially ifit’s at Florida in a little more heat.“
No. 13 UK (8-3 SEC) defeat-ed Vanderbilt last week in a come-back win to earn a No. 3 seed inthe SEC tournament.
“Against Vanderbilt we had atough match, and they’re ranked No.29 and we barely pulled it out,” juniorEric Quigley said. “Pretty much anyteam, especially in the SEC can playreally good on any given day so wejust have to be prepared against any-
body no matter who we play or whatthey’re ranked.”
Junior Alex Musialek said thewin over the Commodores didn’tcome easy.
“It was a really tough match,”he said. “We played on their sen-ior day and I think they had fourseniors on the team so they werereally pumped and they wereready to go, but mentally we haveto be really strong. I think wecouldn’t be more ready to go [tothe tournament]”
As the SEC tournament nears,the Cats believe they are doingtheir best to prepare for the inten-sity of competition to be seenfrom all teams. UK is hoping tomatch up with Auburn for the Fri-day morning match.
After falling to Auburn earlierthis season, the Cats are lookingfor revenge from one of their threeSEC losses.
“Auburn is a clear-cut favoriteto beat South Carolina, so we’rereally looking to prepare forAuburn,” Emery said.
The players believe it is cru-cial to jump ahead on the doublesmatches, to put them in goodstanding for the singles.
“The key to the match is thedoubles point. We lost the doublesdown at Auburn. I think if we canwin the doubles this time it’s go-ing to give us a lot of momentumgoing into the singles,” Emerysaid. “In terms of match-ups, Idon’t think it’s a good one or abad one, but I think the doublespoint is key.
UK is 13-3 when winning thedoubles point and 6-4 when losingthe doubles point.
“We already lost to Auburnthis year, so we’re looking for awin this time,” Musialek said.“We’ll have to take our revenge.”
