PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFFSurgeons Dr. Justin Fraser, left, and Dr. David Minion, right, demonstrate the new hybrid operating room in the Albert B. Chandler Hospital.

Four faculty members have beennominated to run in the election forBoard of Trustees faculty representa-tive.

The candidates are: Terry Con-ners, department of forestry associateprofessor; Donna Smith, departmentof family sciences associate profes-sor; Sheldon Steiner, biology profes-sor; and John Wilson, behavioral sci-ence professor.

The election comes after the un-expected departure of former trusteeJoe Peek, who left at the end of lastsemester to take a position at the Fed-eral Reserve Bank of Boston.

The first round of voting closesFeb. 1, when the four candidates willbe narrowed to three.

Dr. Hollie Swanson, Faculty Sen-ate chairwoman, said the facultytrustee has to be chosen by the Feb.21 Board of Trustees meeting.

She said the majority rules, how-ever it has varied from year to year.

Most candidates are generallyself-nominated, she said, and have toobtain 10 faculty signatures.

Peek’s three-year term expiresJune 30, 2013, and the newly electedrepresentative will serve until then.The trustee could run again, as thereis no specific number of times some-one can run for election, she said.

“I’m just so pleased we have sucha strong slate of candidates,” Swan-son said. “Whoever is chosen will bean excellent choice.”

UK is one of nine schools thatwill get new Nike Hyper Elite Plat-inum jerseys, according to a news re-lease.

UK will debut the jerseys athome against Tennessee on Jan. 31.

The other schools are: Arizona,Baylor (women’s), Duke, Florida,Syracuse, Connecticut (men’s andwomen’s) and North Carolina.

“The fabric of the Nike HyperElite Platinum shorts are made from100 percent recycled polyester whilethe jersey fabric is made from at least96 percent recycled polyester,” aNike release said. “Both short andjersey are tailored for the optimal ef-ficiency of movement and are fivepercent lighter than the previousNike Hyper Elite uniform. Featuringlaser-cut bonded logos, a sharp plat-inum design as well as prominent ac-cent colors, the Nike Hyper ElitePlatinum uniforms are sure to shineon the court.”

The release didn’t specificallysay whether UK would only wearthem for one game.

UK to wear‘Platinum’

jerseys

A new hybrid operating room — one of the country’s largest and the first of its kind in theregion — will open in the next few weeks at Albert B. Chandler Hospital. It will reduce recov-ery time and the risk of postoperative complications. “(It’s) another milestone in providingworld-class facilities ... right here in the Bluegrass,” Dr. Michael Karpf, UK executive vice pres-ident for health affairs, said in a news release. The room cost about $3.2 million.

On the cutting edge

UK Hoops’ winning formula is straight-forward and unyielding. The deep and tal-ented team, led by All-SEC junior guard A’-dia Mathis, will use their “40 Minutes ofDread” full-court pressure, wear their oppo-nent down, get some transition buckets, hitsome 3-pointers and methodically vanquishtheir foe.

The Georgia Bulldogs handled the full-court pressure in Athens last week, and theCats forced a season-low 14 turnovers.

UK head coach Matthew Mitchell hasan app for that. Limit the pressure to thehalf-court and get the ball into UConn trans-fer Samarie Walker. Result: Cats 69, Bull-dogs 64.

Against the South Carolina Gamecocksin Columbia, the Cats coudn’t connect frombehind the arc, hitting just two of their 13attempts.

Mitchell has an app for that. Turn thepressure up a notch and force 29 turnoversleading directly to 32 points. Result: Cats66, Gamecocks 58.

The Florida Gators held UK’s top threescorers to a collective 4-for-26 from thefloor.

Coach Mitchell had an app for that tooSunday. Result: Cats 57, Gators 52.

Mitchell has hit the right buttons at theright times to lead the Cats to a perfect 7-0SEC start.

“I think we have a talented team and Ithink we are multi-dimensional, more sothan any other year I’ve been here,”Mitchell said. “We have pieces at all spots,not just one go-to player on the wing buttwo now with the addition of Bria Goss. Ithink we have a good chance to be reallygood. I think that’s what has happenedthrough the first seven games, we have ateam full of kids that want to win andthey’ve done what’s necessary to fightthrough any points of adversity through sev-en games.”

The versatile Cats have had six differentplayers lead the team in scoring for a game.

“Obviously we have players on our

team like A’dia and Bria (Goss) who we canusually count on to score, but you can’tcount on that every game because peoplehave different defensive strategies,” sopho-more guard Kastine Evans said. “I think as ateam we have come to the realization thatyou can’t just depend on those two people.You have to be ready to back each other upand that is how we are growing as a team.”

Ten of the 13 Cats who have played thisseason have had at least one game wherethey have scored in double digits.

“There is a lot of people on this teamwho play important roles and that is some-

UK Hoops findingmany ways to win

UK Hoops coach Matthew Mitchell has his teamin first place with an undefeated SEC record.

Students perform their first dance concert at UK,with the opening of the “3Dimensions: WinterDance Concert” on Friday.

Starting this semester, the UK department oftheatre officially offers a dance minor for all stu-dents.

To start it off they will show a performancebased on the dances taught in the minor.

“Many schools made the transfer years ago,” totheatre dance minors, and UK is finally following instep, said Susie Thiel, dance program coordinatorand choreographer.

The performance will be broken up into threeentities, including amodern dance per-formance.

“We are reallychanging thingsaround with thedance minor,”Thiel said. “Mystudents are sohungry to work ina collaboration.”

Megan Jelli-son, sophomoredancer in the win-ter dance concert,said the choreographers come in to rehearsal with atext or an idea and the students create their owndances to those themes.

“We found a dance individually that showedwhat the music or idea or text meant to us,” Jellisonsaid.

Thiel uses the technique of “How-To” guides tocreate dances. Each student was asked to bring inhis or her own “How-To” guides to implement inthe dance.

“It is a creative process that the audience doesn’tsee,” Thiel said. “It’s a little bit different from whatpeople are used to seeing.”

Students had to learn Thiel’s own “How to Folda Pleated Skirt: An Educational Guide” in thedances as well.

“Through this novel creative process, I havegained insight on the direction in which the profes-

PASADENA, Calif. — For five seasonson “Chuck,” Vik Sahay and Scott Krinskyplayed Lester and Jeff the most strung out andsilly buddies since Bill and Ted went on an ex-cellent adventure.

That ride comes to an end Friday with thetwo-part series finale of the NBC comedyabout a computer geek (Zachary Levi) whobecomes a super spy.

The show found a following because of itsodd cast of characters. Sahay's character oneof Chuck’s fellow computer geeks had only acouple of lines in the first episode of “Chuck”when it debuted in 2007.

“They let me relentlessly improv in thatepisode and all of it was cut before it aired.But, there was something that stuck with theproducers and then they saw some chemistrybetween me and Scott that they liked,” Sahaysays.

The weird pair have been dropped intoshows to play everything from rockstars tocage fighters. They finally got brought into theinner circle of the spy world in last week'sepisode, turning the duo into a mix of SteveJobs and Rambo.

Sahay describes the show’s culmination as

odd. “Other than the expected sadness, nostal-

gia and shock to the system, this past fewweeks has almost an exorcism of letting Lesterbleed out of me,” Sahay says. “It’s been a longtime since I’ve had a non-Lester reality andnow it’s merely Vik Sahay and I'm a littlewobbly on my legs. I feel kind of raw and ex-posed.”

“Chuck” survived five seasons despite lowratings because of a very loyal fan base. Sahayexpects those fans will always see him asLester, but he's ready to try something differ-ent preferably in movies. But, he would re-turns to TV if he finds a series as creative andfun as “Chuck.”

The end of the show was very painful inone way for Sahay. “I broke my finger on oneof the last episodes we were filming,” he saysas he shows off the cast that covers his pinkie.

“I broke it in the middle of a scene.” Along with the finger cast, he also took

home his uniform and a sign from the BuyMore electronics store where Lester, Jeff andthe rest of the “Chuck” cast worked during therun of the show.

thing that will help us later inthe year as well. Being full ofmulti-dimensional playershelps us connect well on thecourt,” said senior guard Key-la Snowden. “He’s (Mitchell)able to sub five in and fiveout and I think that helps usout.”

The Cats play at Auburn(10-10, 2-5 SEC) Thursday at7 p.m.

“They (Auburn) have

some really good athleteswith some nice length andthey play real tough defense.It will be a real challenge onthe road but I like where ourteam is and how they arepracticing right now,”Mitchell said. “We’re just ex-cited to have another opportu-nity to play in this conferenceon Thursday night. We’ll godown to Auburn with the in-tention of winning and seewhat we can do.”

The Tigers have struggledin the conference, butMitchell believes they couldpose a tough challenge.

“I think this is the tough-est part of the season, theconference isn’t brand new.It’s hard to see the end and soas a coach it is really impor-tant right now that we stay fo-cused and just try to stickwith what is in front of us andthat’s Auburn,” said Mitchell.“I try to be keenly aware atthis time of year if we arehaving any lack of focus. It’sjust a tough league, it’s 16games with real difficultcompetition and real goodcoaching. It’s a challenge.You have to be real strongmentally to succeed in this

league.”Mitchell does not sub-

scribe to the same theory asmen’s head coach John Cali-pari in reference to taking aconference loss to help theteam improve.

“When you have won 43conference titles, maybe I cantalk about how we need a lossin the league,” Mitchell said.“But we’re trying to win ourfirst, and that’ll be a hugemoment in this programwhen it happens. I don’tknow when it’s going to be,but we believe it’s going tohappen.”

sional dance world is head-ing,” said Les Gibbs, one ofthe student performers in theconcert. “It is almost guar-

anteed that the performancewill be unlike anything theyhave seen before, andsomething they will notwant to forget.” Unlike the-atre performances, there isno clear-cut way to inter-pret the concert.

“There’s no right or

wrong answer,” Thiel said.“Even though (audiences) in-terpret the performance dif-ferently, they are stillmoved.”

After the winter concert,the students, along with Thiel,will be attending the Ameri-can College Dance Festival

and performing at the nationallevel.

“I foresee that this winterconcert will become a cher-ished event for years to comeand an excellent christeningto the dance program at UK,”Gibbs said.

January is National Stalk-ing Awareness Month. Thereis a lot of misunderstandingabout stalking; it is importantto understand what stalkingis and what it is not.

We joke about stalkingall the time. Stalking some-one is normal for myfriends.

Jokes about stalking arecommon. Stalking type be-haviors, especially for youngpeople in high school or col-lege, may seem normal.

It may be fine to text orcall someone 50 times a day.It may be fine to feel likesomeone is following you be-cause you keep noticing themeverywhere you go. It maybe fine for your boyfriend or

someone who wants to dateyou to wait for you some-where you didn’t think theywould be.

However, it is not okaywhen these kinds of thingsare unwanted, repeated andmake you afraid or con-cerned for your safety or thesafety of someone close toyou. That is when it crossesthe line to stalking.

Stalking is a deliberateset of tactics used to scare,annoy, harass, sabotage orcontrol their target. Even ifyour friends or others tellyou not to be afraid or con-cerned, you should alwaystrust your instincts and takeprecautions if this is happen-ing to you.

Stalking is just aboutsomebody romantically try-ing to pursue his or her ob-ject of desire.

Pursuing someone for adate often entails repeatedand potentially persistentcontact attempts especiallywhen the other person doesnot seem initially receptive.This behavior appears tooverlap with some aspects ofstalking.

In fact, movies often por-tray the persistent male as theone who eventually winsover his love interest in theend. So, yes, sometimes indi-viduals who are trying to es-tablish or maintain a relation-ship engage in repeated texts,Facebook postings, phonecalls and maybe even follow-ing someone around.

However, it crosses theline when it becomes un-wanted and when it causesfear or concern for safety inthe person being targetedwith this kind of attention.

Celebrities are morelikely to experience stalkingthan someone I know per-sonally.

We have all heard aboutcelebrity stalking such as thecases of Erin Andrews, Sele-na Gomez, Madonna andDavid Letterman. Whilestalking does happen tocelebrities, politicians andothers in the media, it alsocommonly happens to peoplenot in the public eye.

For example, a randomhousehold survey of regularpeople (non-celebrities) bythe Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention foundthat 1 in 6 women and 1 in19 men had been stalked andwere frightened by the stalk-ing.

In fact, college studentsare at high risk of beingstalked.

Stalking is creepy andannoying, but not danger-ous.

Stalking is creepy andannoying — but it can alsobe dangerous. Stalkers canbecome violent and shouldbe taken seriously.

In fact, stalking is acrime in all 50 states.

The specific motives ofstalkers are not all that clear.Some researchers speculatethat stalkers are obsessedwith the target, feel angryand want revenge, want toestablish or maintain a rela-tionship or are looking forany kind of attention from

the target, including fear. Typically, it is committed

by people we know andshould be able to trust —current or ex-partners, class-mates, co-workers and other

acquaintances. Recent research by UK

professor Dr. TK Logan andher colleagues shows thatstalking by a controlling,jealous and violent boyfriendis especially dangerous.

Specifically, some re-search shows that partnerstalkers make more violentthreats and are more likely toact on those threats thanstalkers who do not targetpartners or ex-partners.

However, being stalkedby anyone whether they are astranger, an acquaintance or acurrent or ex-partner can bedangerous.

Modern technology istoo expensive and confusingfor most stalkers to use.

Using the computer tostalk and harass is common— often referred to as cyber-stalking.

Additionally, surveillancetechnology can be purchasedfor a relatively small amountof money and is often usedin creative ways.

If you ignore stalking orconfront the stalker, it willstop.

Ignoring or confrontingthe stalker often does notwork and may even increasethe danger. It is important toremember that each situationis different and you maywant to work with a profes-sional to develop a safetyplan.

Secret behind the spiceWith a new semester comes more

reading, more essays to write andmore problems to solve. These aca-demic responsibilities can make stu-dents both tired and hungry.

The spicy beef wrap is one allyand can be found at Ovid’s Cafe, lo-cated in the William T. Young Li-brary.

Freshly made, the spicy beef wrapis crispy on the outside and cheesy onthe inside, filled with Philly meatcooked to perfection with fresh toast-ed pepper and onions (or not, for thepicky ones), and a special juicy, mys-terious sauce that overflows the toma-to wrap as you bite into it.

Two slices of pepper jack cheeselay on the tomato wrap along withtwo ounces of Ovid’s salsa mayo, ac-cording to Ovid’s spicy beef wrap in-gredients chart.

The sliced green peppers andonions are optional, and customerscan choose a different type of cheeseon their wrap.

All these ingredients put togetheradd up to a 1,010-calorie wrap (withonions, green peppers and pepperjack cheese), according to RaySchmidt, associate director of DiningServices.

The spicy mayo sauce alone holds350 calories, but these numbers seemnot to affect how many wraps stu-dents actually eat.

A popular meal among studentsthat has been on the menu for sixyears, the spicy beef wrap is ordered150 to 200 times on a regular day,Schmidt said.

During finals, when the cafe isopen 24/7, Schmidt said numbers areeven higher.

Schmidt said students are able tosavor the spicy beef wrap not only be-cause of the tasty sauce and ingredi-ents that fill it, but also because ofhow the item is made.

“Students like to see their foodmade right in front of them,” Schmidt

said. “Our food is made fresh.” Seeing how and where the food is

being prepared creates a sense of trustfor the customer, Schmidt said.

“Nobody likes the word ‘cafete-ria,’ where your food was made in asecret room and came out of a smallhole in the wall,” Schmidt said. “Stu-dents are more savvy, and watchingtheir food being made, I think, is thebig attraction.”

Darrell Jones, an Ovid’s employ-ee who prepares the wraps, said thebeef wrap is the choice of many stu-dents.

“Students wait in line for it, espe-cially during lunch time,” Jones said.

And there’s one ingredient thatappears to catch students’ palate.

“They seem to really like the salsamayo,” Jones said.

Joseph Payne, a freshman Englishmajor, said that even though he didn’tknow what the sauce is, he does like it.

Payne said that he was searchingfor something different when he or-dered the spicy beef wrap.

“I felt like eating something dif-ferent,” Payne said. “It’s spicy, beefy— it’s nice to have the sauce in it, be-cause not many other sandwicheshave sauce on them.”

Other than the flavorful, juicysauce, Payne said the veggies add anextra kick to the wrap.

“I get mine with peppers andonions,” he said. “It adds more flavorto it.”

Payne also agreed that having itprepared right in front of his eyes is abig plus.

“I like that I get to watch it beingmade,” Payne said. “It’s fresh and it’salways too hot for me to eat it at firstso I have to let it cool down for aminute.”

There’s another reason why Paynebelieves Ovid’s is a great place tohave a meal in general.

“It’s high quality food, you getyour money’s worth.” Payne said.

Some studentsmay prefer theirspicy beef wrap with-out the green peppersand onions, like juniormerchandising, ap-parel and tex-tiles majorChristina voVargas; butthe wrapstill does-n’t fail tosucceedin flavor.

“ Ilove thep e p p e rjack cheeseand thesauce,” Vargassaid.

Despite the high calorie count ,Vargas said it won’t keep her from or-dering the wrap.

“One-thousand ten?” Vargas said.“I don’t care how many calories is init because it is good.”

The Philly beef and the toastedtomato wrap also caught Vargas’ at-tention.

“The beef is well cooked and Ilike how the wrap is crispy on theoutside,” Vargas added.

Even though Willy T., as theYoung Library is usually referred toby students, is a common study andhang out spot for most students, Var-gas mentioned it is not a convenientlocation for her.

“I never really go to the library, soit’s kind of out of my way.” Vargassaid.

For students like Vargas, who areusually on the other side of campusbut enjoy the Ovid’s tasteful menu,there is the possibility of a North sidelocation.

Schmidt didn’t reveal specific in-formation, but said students should beon the look out for something.

POP!

Neil Young might be re-uniting with Crazy Horse foranother go at perfection.

“Live Rust,” an albumthat featured both Young andthe band was the soundtrackto family road trips.

The distant echo of“Cortez the Killer” ran paral-lel with memories of passinghills and the fading whitestripes of the road behind.

Young, a born and raisedCanuck, first ventured intothe music scene as a soloartist. He then began explor-ing the folk and grunge scenesimultaneously.

Young was a co-founderof the band Buffalo Spring-

field, then later joined forceswith Crosby, Stills and Nashas the fourth member.

Young bounced in and outof solo work and performingwith bands like Crazy Horse.They recorded countless per-formances including “Live atthe Fillmore East” and “RustNever Sleeps.”

The music created withCrazy Horse captured the yinand yang of Young. His ten-derness was still there in theheavy, distorted jams.

“Broken Arrow” was thelast album Crazy Horse andYoung released. Aside from“Toast,” an LP that was setaside by Young, it’s been over10 years since Young andCrazy Horse have created anynew music together.

That is until now. Over the weekend, the

Slamdance Festival’s Morn-ing Coffee Master Class fea-tured Neil Young and

Jonathan Demme promotingtheir new film, “Journeys.”

Thanks to Young’s fansite, thrasherswheat.org, itwas revealed that Young andCrazy Horse are recordingagain, recently confirmed byRolling Stone: “It’s lookinggood,” a representative forYoung said.

According to the website,one album is complete andthey are working on another.

“No new news as yet,”said Ralph Molina, CrazHorse drummer. “You'll prob-ably know before we do!Heading back up to theRanch, more recording.”

When asked in 2008 byRolling Stone if he’d be inter-ested in touring again withCrazy Horse, Neil repliedwith a simple, one wordedanswer of, “maybe.”

And maybe that “maybe”will turn into a yes.

Perhaps those memories of

me fighting the grip of myseatbelt to trace the lyrics of“Live Rust” on the foggedwindow of my parent’s carwill turn into a new album,new lyrics and the opportunityfor new memories.

Pardon the Interlude: Neil YoungALEXANDRIA
