Gatton fundraisingreaches $34 million

UK’s Gatton College ofBusiness and Economics cel-ebrated Friday the passing ofthe halfway point in its goalof raising $65 million infundraising.

UK President Eli Capi-louto and Gatton DeanDavid W. Blackwell revealedthat $34 million in privatefunds have been donated forrenovations to the college,set to begin in fall 2013 andanticipated to finish by fall2015.

“This morning we areannouncing another mile-stone in our campaign to re-store and rebuild our campusinfrastructure. A landmarkthat represents the steadfastcommitment of our donorsand support, friends andalumni of the university,”Capilouto said.

The expansion and reno-vation is focused on benefitsfor both undergraduate andgraduate students, by includ-ing laboratories and high-tech enhancements inclassrooms.

Cons t ruc -tion will takeplace in thecol lege’scourtyardand thef o y e rfacing Li m e -stone.

Ren-ovationswill in-c l u d eadding afour-story “liv-ing room” areawith couches and glasswalls, Blackwell said.

After an additional64,000 square feet is addedto the original structure, thebuilding will total 210,000square feet.

“The investment herewill be truly a transforma-tion,” Blackwell said. “Notonly will it transform ourphysical infrastructure, but itwill enable a revolution inhow we teach, conduct re-search and serve our com-munity.

“We believe that this fa-cility will help us achievemore national recognitionand visibility and it is goingto help us toward our goal tobe recognized as a top 30public university businessschool.”

Donors to the collegewere recognized, as somecame to the celebration toshow their support. C.M.“Bill” Gatton, Don andCathy Jacobs, Howard Lewisand Bill Seale contributed atotal of $23 million.

Since House Bill 7 wasapproved by the KentuckyGeneral Assembly andsigned into law by Gov.Steve Beshear, it is con-firmed that universityfundraising will pay for theproject, rather than state dol-lars.

Renovations to Com-monwealth Stadium andconstruction of an academicscience building were alsoincluded in the plans ap-proved by House Bill 7.

“Among the three facili-ties authorized in House Bill7, the Gatton College is the

only one we targetfor complete fi-

nancing throughprivate phi-lanthropy,”Capi loutosaid.

Ac-cording tothe col-l e g e ,b u i l d i n gcriteria is as

follows:—Creates

a 500-seat au-ditorium.—Creates state-

of-the-art high-tech class-rooms with at least 20 in-structional spaces and largerseat counts.

—Creates a ExecutiveEducation and ConferenceCenter to facilitate outreachand continuing education tothe business, governmentand nonprofit communities.

—Dedicated Master ofBusiness Administrationcenter accommodates enroll-ment growth and a proposedjoint Executive MBA withthe University of Louisville.

That amount, from privatedonors, is more than half

of college’s goal for renovations

WEST LIBERTY, Ky. — I ar-rived in West Liberty, Ky., onSaturday afternoon, greeted bychilling temperatures anddreary skies; appropriate, con-sidering the circumstances.

The daymarked oneyear sincean EF-3 tor-nado sweptthrough thetown, carry-ing awaybits andpieces of cit-izens’ homesand busi-nesses.

The en-tire tornado

outbreak, which affected partsof eastern and southeasternKentucky, caused 26 fatalitiesand destroyed more than 450homes, according to theAmerican Red Cross.

I had hoped that I mightget through the entire after-noon without witnessing anytears, but it didn’t take longbefore I ran into a friend over-whelmed by emotions broughton by the anniversary.

On the way to visit mygrandmother, who lives inWest Liberty, my cousin and Ipulled over when we noticedDoris and Lindsey Shuckstanding in the same spotwhere their home stood oneyear earlier.

I looked out over thetown, which was barely visi-ble through the trees until thestorm uprooted them, andstood silent as Lindsey criedin my cousin’s arms.

Suddenly, I was shakenfrom my dream of a happycelebration of recovery.

Conditions have improvedimmensely since the storm hit,making the tragedy seem so

far away. But the truth is, I discov-

ered when I looked at Lind-sey, that memories of that dayand of what existed before,are still close in the minds and

hearts of everyone involved.The people of West Liber-

STAFF REPORT

Grayson will talk about the freedoms of speech and press

In the six years since UKHoops head coach MatthewMitchell has taken over theprogram, he has changed anentire culture.

Sunday’s win over Ten-nessee seemed to symbolizethat shift. The celebration ofSenior Day turned into an ob-servance of what UK has be-come under Mitchell.

Seniors A’dia Mathies andBrittany Henderson, honoredbefore their final home game,took the floor as the most suc-cessful class in UK history.

A relentless defense forced31 turnovers; an opportunistic

offense scored 33 points offthose turnovers. Call it a styleof play if you want, but it’s re-ally more of an ideology.

When the final buzzersounded, the Cats’ 78-65 winover Tennessee made Mitchellthe program’s winningestcoach with 139 victories.

When Mitchell gripped amicrophone to address theboisterous blue fans thatpacked a sold-out Memorial

Coliseum, he was met with areception fit for a rockstar.

“Four years ago we hadtwo players come to Kentuckyat a time when things arevery, very different than theyare now,” Mitchell said. “Be-fore they got there it was notrare that we lost at MemorialColiseum. Well, four years lat-er, that’s changed.”

“I can’t tell you how im-portant it was for us to sendA’dia and Brittany off fromMemorial Coliseum with avictory,” said UK head coachMatthew Mitchell. “They havemeant so much to our pro-

gram. Kentucky looks a lotdifferent today than it did fouryears ago. I thought that theteam really understood thatthose kids deserved to leavehere with a victory.”

Mathies and Hendersonhave won more games thanany senior class in school his-tory, and Mathies delivered asignature performance in herlast 20 minutes of regular-sea-son college basketball.

“(Walking off the court forthe last time) felt great, espe-cially because it was with avictory in front of so manyfans who care about us andsupport us,” Mathies said. “I’m

To get the advantage, checkthe day's rating: 10 is the easiestday, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — To-day is a 6 — Keep your feet onsolid ground, and let fantasies dis-solve. Figure out what you reallywant. A woman you respect hasgreat advice and numbers to backit. Gather materials.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) —Today is an 8 — Set your imagina-tion free, within practical limits.Create romance with thoughtfulwords and deeds, rather than ex-pensive gifts. Take pride in youraccomplishments without brag-ging ... it's unnecessary.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) —Today is a 6 — Accept responsibil-ity, not more work. Don't rush offin the wrong direction. Handledisagreements in private. Thepossibility of misunderstanding ishigh, and patience could get test-ed. Take it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) —Today is a 6 — A female chal-

lenges your opinion. Make sureyou have the facts. Ask for morethan you think you'll get. Don'tforget an important job.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Todayis a 6 — Don't heed the advice ofa skeptic. Get the facts and makeyour own decisions. Challengingauthority could be appropriate.There is a lot to do close to home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — To-day is a 5 — Reassure someonewho's anxious. Analysis of thedata plus intuition equals under-standing. Get the message across.Handle local errands.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — To-day is an 8 — A private conversa-tion could be quite revealing. Takethe considerations of others intoaccount. Double-check facts andpresent them to one who dis-agrees.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) —Today is a 9 — Practice being gra-cious, especially with someonerude. There's more going on be-hind the scenes than you knownow. Consider options carefully,and travel later. Make plans and

include lots of detail. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

— Today is an 8 — Keep the mostinteresting things, and get rid ofclutter. Discover a hidden prob-lem; romance interferes withbusiness. Find a way to worksmarter by delegating. Work to-ward a goal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —Today is a 5 — Don't make expen-sive promises, and postpone trav-el. Get into studies and organiza-tion, which are much better in-vestments.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) —Today is a 6 — Modify a fantasyand stick to the practical route.Someone close by doesn't likeanything now. Don't let yourfriends get into your secrettreats.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) —Today is a 7 — The news today isunsettling. Avoid getting involvedin another's affairs, financially orotherwise. Something at homegets messed up. Decrease newprojects this week, and postponeexpansion.

OK, so it wasn't “The Last Exorcism” afterall. Here's “Part II,” an 88-minute bore withoutthe nervy, shaky-camera found-footage conceit,without the doubting exorcist's moment of truth,without the chills of demonic possession thrillsthat the low-budget original film served up.

“Part II” is every bit as cheap and far moregeneric, nothing more than a run of the millghost story masquerading as “The Devil MadeHer Do It.”

Ashley Bell, as Nell, the teen lusted after byLucifer, seems exhausted, frazzled, out of heracting league and nowhere near her teen yearsin this sequel. Nell has stumbled into New Or-leans, hounded during Mardi Gras even as shetries to convince doctors and those in a mentalhealth halfway house that “I'm not crazy.”

But she's seeing her dead daddy (LouisHerthum). She's hearing voices.

Dogs bark at her passing, gorillas in the zooact up. And every Mardi Gras reveler in a scarymask stares her down. Frank (Muse Watson),who runs Deveroux Halfway House, could notbe more wrong when he assures her, “Whateveryou're running from won't find you here.”

“Last Exorcism II” is a slower than slowthriller built around Bell, who isn't at her mostsubtle or empathetic here. There's fear and theburden of “If he seduces you, all hope is lost.”Not that Bell gets that across. There's no ur-gency to the performance, or that of anybodyelse trying to save poor Nell from Hell.

It's a film of cheap shriek scares and fizzingfrights that pack no punch. The tropes of thegenre — exorcists who have the tools but facelong odds, bleeding walls, birds that fly into ahouse where Nell hides out (hey, it was ALIENSwho caused that in “Dark Skies”) — are there.But the effects are skimpy and cheesy, with thatcrazy contortion business that the first “Last Ex-orcist” took to new extremes rarely used.

Filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnelly sets toomuch of the action in broad daylight, which isn'tspooky. The dull acting doesn't hide that there'snot enough story to justify setting this inVoodooville, USA — New Orleans.

So one can only hope that when the say“The Last Exorcism,” that they mean it.

Please let it be the ‘Last Exorcism’

At the event, MorganCounty Judge ExecutiveTim Conley presented aproclamation in honor of thetornado victims, which hewould go on to sign along-side the mayor.

“Family, friends andneighbors near and far, alongwith federal, state and localentities, came together to savelives and rebuild MorganCounty and West Liberty,”Conley read to a packedroom. “Morgan County andWest Liberty thank the worldfor their love, kindness andgenerosity.”

Following the speech,guests viewed a documentaryabout the storm, indulged ingood food and en-joyed inspira-tional song.

Al-thougheach in-dividualexperi-encedhis orher owntragedythat night,the event fo-cused on the en-tire populace, pastand present.

To close the presentation,members of the communitywere invited to release “wish

lanterns” in remembrance ofthe lives lost to the storm.

It was at this point that Igot to experience the

hopeful, happycommunity that

I had wishedfor.

Ignitingthe lanternsproved trou-blesome atfirst, whichprovided

some comicrelief.

And then thesky was set aglow.

I like to believe thatas the lanterns floated away,so did some of the emotionthat has weighed peopledown in the year since the

storm.“I feel like our family’s

been so blessed, that I don’tlet the sad overcome me,”Doris said. “We’ve seen peo-ple do so many good things. Ihave to look at that and real-ize that a bad situation has re-ally turned into good things,and so many people were ableto do good deeds.”

Hard times may not beover for the citizens of WestLiberty, but there is certainly alot to look forward to.

Homes and businesses areslowly returning, and digni-taries broke ground last monthon several new projects, in-cluding a proposed youth

recreation center. As these structures go up

and normalcy returns to thetown, the pain people are feel-ing will slowly subside. Andjust as quietly as the lanternsfloated away in semblance ofthose lost, innocent babieswill be born into the town.

Emotions will not remainas high as they were on Sat-urday afternoon.

But what happened inWest Liberty that evening lastMarch will never be forgotten.If there is one thing I knowabout the small town, it is thatthe community would neverlet anyone forget.

In a small place like Mor-

gan County, history is every-where you turn. People staytied not only through theirblood, but their experiences.

As I grow older and re-turn to West Liberty, I hope towatch the transformation froma community still pained bytheir experiences with thestorm, to a community remi-niscent of that day, but chieflyproud of how far it has comeand how the event helped inits shaping.

But for now, I stand withthe citizens, the emergencypersonnel, the volunteers andeveryone else involved toshow support for the town andpeople so dear to my heart.

64-3 on its home floor.The 13-point victory is

UK’s largest margin of victoryagainst Tennessee since 1986,when the Cats topped theLady Vols, 96-82. The win isonly the ninth ever againstTennessee, and the third sinceMitchell became head coach.

Mitchell was quick todownplay his accomplish-ment, preferring to focus onhis joy at sending Mathiesand Henderson out winners.

But without Mitchell, to-day’s game would have been

radically different, perhapsanother shellacking from a su-perior Tennessee team— an oft-seenconclusionthroughout theyears.

Whoknows ifMathies andHendersonwould evenhave been ina Kentuckyuniform, letalone receivinga framed one be-fore the game, ifMitchell hadn’t recruited

them to UK, back when thereweren’t a lot of great players

coming to UK.“They came here

when we wereselling a dream,and they madeit a reality,”Mitchell said.

As figure-head, Mitchellnot only trans-formed UK

from an SECnon-factor to an-

nual contender,but made the Cats a

topic of discussion onthe national scene. They have

won at least 25 games each ofthe past four seasons, makingruns to the Elite Eight lastyear and in 2010.

Mitchell has presided overa women’s basketball renais-sance at UK, which wouldmake him akin to Leonardoda Vinci, fashioning a teamand program that is beginningto resemble a work of art.

“Kentucky looks a lot dif-ferent today than it did fouryears ago,” he said. “It’s avery special place to coachbasketball. We’ve had thetime to build something ... tomake this a program peoplecan be proud of.”

The Color Me Rad 5Kbrought zany, color-filled funto UK on Saturday in supportof Ronald McDonald HouseCharities of the Bluegrass.

Despite the cold tempera-ture and overcast skies, near-ly 5,700 people showed up tothe event, hosted by AlphaDelta Pi sorority.

Ryan Flannery, a memberof UK Air Force ROTC, vol-unteered at the event as amember of the “color bombsquad.”

“These are some dedicat-ed people,” Flannery said ofthe runners who toughed outthe bitter cold to participate.The temperature was 28 de-

grees when the run began.The volunteers arrived at

6 a.m. to start setting up loud-speakers, tents and “colorbomb” stations along thecourse.

The starting line wassplashed with a dizzying ar-ray of color, a foreshadowingof what was to come.

Runners were released inwaves to allow each groupample time to be doused witha multitude of colors, consist-ing of non-toxic, coloredcornstarch.

“I will definitely do thisagain,” said UK student andrunner Anton Osipov. “I wishthis event was twice a yearand, of course, duringwarmer weather.”

People of all ages, from

all over Kentucky, made thedrive to Lexington.

“Color Me Rad was awe-some,” said Tara Bailey ofHazard, Ky.

Once across the finishline, runners were treated tosnacks and bottled water, aswell as post-race entertain-ment, which consisted oftossing “color bombs,” com-peting in hula-hoop andpushup contests, and tossingof prizes and other gifts to thecrowd.

Color Me Rad and AlphaDelta Pi raised nearly$10,000 for Ronald McDon-ald House Charities of theBluegrass.

ADPi has contributednearly $5 million to the chari-ty throughout their partner-

ship. In addition to hosting

Color Me Rad, ADPi will behosting the Mini Masters, amini-golf tournament at theLexington Ice Center puttputt course.

Mallory Shoffner, ADPi’sphilanthropy chair, said theorganizers of Color Me Radsummed up the event by stat-ing that “it was by far thecoldest race that they’ve everdone, yet by far the raddest.”

“I want to thank everyonefor coming out and support-ing the Ronald McDonaldHouse,” Shoffner said.

Sponsored by the UK AgEquine Programs, the fairwill host more than 30 localequine businesses, including

the Kentucky ThoroughbredFarm Managers’ Club, All-tech, Hagyard Equine Med-ical Institute and Keeneland.

Organizers hope the fairwill be a good place for stu-dents to begin networkingwithin the equine industry.

“The more networkingthe students can get out ofthis, the better,” said agricul-tural education junior andequine career fair marketingchair Chelsea Whittle.

According to Whittle,the fair also is a great oppor-tunity for freshmen andsophomores to see what jobsare available to them in the

industry, and to start plan-ning for what they want todo after they graduate fromUK.

In addition to allowingstudents the opportunity tonetwork with prospectiveemployers at their booths,there will be informationalsessions led by industry pro-fessionals on topics such as

graduate school opportuni-ties, the thoroughbred indus-try and alternative equinetherapies.

Cats lacked effortin Arkansas loss

It’s not that they lost.They were underdogs,

playing an Arkansas team thatwas undefeated at home in

SEC play,with winsover the likesof Tennessee,Missouri andtop-10ranked Flori-da.

It’s howthey lost —flat-footedand ball-watching,despondentand defeat-

ed, shaken andshell-shocked.

The Cats didn’t take afew possessions off in their73-60 loss at Arkansas onSaturday; they took the ma-jority of the second half off.

They “fought like Wild-cats,” as freshman NerlensNoel would say, for 45 min-utes to beat Missouri a weekago and then seemingly forgotwhat got them back on thesmiling side of the bubble.

Arkansas outreboundedthe Cats, 44-37, earning 20 ofthem on the offensive end.

“They got 20 offensiverebounds, and we turned itover 19 times — a bunch ofthem unforced,” UK headcoach John Calipari said.“We weren’t as tough asthem and we didn’t play ashard as them and they wantedthe game more than us, andthat team usually wins.

“And they did. They de-served to win. They playedbetter; they were bettercoached. They deserved towin the game.”

Freshman forward WillieCauley-Stein said the team

lacked the same energy as inprevious outings.

“The last three games wewere playing with high inten-sity. Everybody,” Cauley-Stein said. “Today, we hadpeople that didn’t show upwith the energy and it provesfor us to win and move on tobe successful everybody hasto play with energy.”

Why is Calipari dealingwith effort issues with justtwo games left in the regularseason and a nine-loss teamstruggling to just get in to theNCAA Tournament?

“You must have a will towin. Winning must be impor-tant, not just how you played,”Calipari said. “You must wantto be coach and challengedand pushed, from not only thestaff, but from within. You’vegot to accept that.

“This team, we could gothe next game and play out ofour minds — and I’ll be real-ly happy.”

Even if that happens, thehappiness would be brief be-cause the chances are theCats would go out the nextgame and lay another egg.

Once you are 29 gamesinto a season, you pretty muchare who you are. These play-ers have never completelybought in to Calipari’s direc-tion and have never complete-ly bought in to each other.

They have yet to win sixstraight games the entire sea-son, and there is absolutelyno reason to believe they canwin six straight games to winthe NCAA title.

Quite frankly, unless theywin two straight to finish theregular season, there is agreat likelihood they won’teven compete in the NCAAtourney.

Team still hasn’t fully bought in toCalipari’s coaching after 29 games

The No. 17 UK softballteam won all five of its gamesin its last early season tourna-ment, extending its season-long win streak to eightgames.

The No. 6 UK men’stennis team opened SECplay this weekend by defeat-ing No. 47 Arkansas and No.39 Louisiana State at theBoone Tennis Complex.

Friday’s match wasagainst the Razorbacks, whocame in with an 11-3 record.The Cats started strong, win-ning the doubles pointthanks to courts two andthree. During the doublesmatch junior Tom Jombywas visibly upset at thechair, and following thematch he refused to shakethe chair’s hand.

Jomby’s behavior con-tinued into singles, where heconstantly was yelling at thechair and received two codeviolations during his three-set win.

Jomby dropped just hissecond set of the year, withthe other coming againstthe University of SouthernCalifornia in early Febru-ary.

When asked about Jom-by’s behavior following thematch, head coach CedricKauffmann said his starplayer’s attitude is a work inprogress.

“We have been workingon Tom’s attitude for twoand a half years now, andhe is almost there,” Kauff-mann said. “We definitelyare not as good withouthim, but there is still clearlysome work that needs to bedone.”

The Cats would clinchthe match rather quickly,winning on courts one, threeand two to get the fourth anddeciding point.

Senior Anthony Rossihad a good showing, defeat-

ing No. 125 Greg Lehmann,6-2, 6-2. Rossi showed allfacets of his game for hiseighth straight victory.

UK would end up drop-ping two of the final threematches to make the finalscore 5-2.

“We did not play like achampionship team today,”Kauffmann said followingthe match. “We got the winand I am happy for the boys,but we did not close thismatch out like a champi-onship team.”

On Sunday, the Catstook the courts again to faceoff with the No. 39-rankedTigers of LSU.

UK would again get offto a quick start easily win-ning the doubles point. No.21 Jomby and freshmanKevin Lai won their firstSEC match, 8-5.

Rossi would play strongagain, collecting his ninthstraight win, beating LSU’sChris Simpson, 6-3, 6-1.Rossi went 4-0 this week-end.

Jomby got back to form,winning easily, 6-2, 6-4, andalso improving on his be-havior from Friday.

Sophomore CharlesMinc would clinch thematch for the Cats on courtfour, winning 6-4, 6-4.Minc, who usually plays outof the No. 5 spot, recentlyreplaced freshman JuanPablo Murra in the No. 4slot.

The Cats (14-2, 2-0SEC) will head to Waco,Texas, next week to take onNo. 26 Baylor before head-ing to College Station totake on the Aggies of TexasA&M.

Men’s tennis opens SEC

Baseball sweeps Akron in series

Dominant starting pitch-ing by junior left-handedpitcher Corey Littrell and twobig offensive innings led UKbaseball (10-1) to a three-game sweep and a 9-2 victoryover Akron (0-9) Sunday inCliff Hagan Stadium.

Littrell pitched seven in-nings, allowing five hits and arun while striking out eight, acareer high, and no walks.

At one point in inningstwo through four, Littrellstruck out seven Zips hittersin a row. Overall, Littrell re-tired the first 11 Akron bat-ters.

“I thought Corey was alot better today. I am reallyglad to see him make someadjustments,” UK head coachGary Henderson said. “Obvi-ously the ball was down. Hehad command of all fourpitches. He worked ahead inthe count. He had very good

secondary command. Just amuch more efficient andpoised outing and he’ll justkeep getting better.”

Offensively, the Cats ex-ploded for five runs in thesecond inning, punctuated bya three-run home run bysophomore centerfielderAustin Cousino to push UK’slead to 5-0. The home runwas Cousino’s second of theseason.

The Cats added four moreruns in the fourth inning,starting with a bases-clearingdouble by sophomore desig-nated hitter A.J. Reed thatone-hopped off the center-field wall.

“It was good to get someruns early. It was good to seeA.J. pitch better than he has inthe last two outings,” Hender-son said. “It was really nice tosee some of our guys get ontrack offensively and I wasglad to get Jeff Boehm andTyler Cox a couple innings.”

McConkey went 2-for-4,collecting four RBIs and scor-ing twice. Cousino went 3-for-3, scoring four runs. UK wasaided by nine walks taken

The Student Senate recently passed aproposal to allocate $6,700 to the Collegeof Arts and Sciences Academic AdvisingCenter to create new student employmentopportunities. We, at the College of Artsand Sciences, applaud the initiative shownby the Senate. Through its action, the Sen-ate will be providing its peers with the op-portunity to enhance their college experi-ence through student employment. Withthis in mind, the college leadership has de-cided to match the Senate’s contribution.

The Senate’s allocation comes at anopportune time, as we in the College ofArts and Sciences are in the process of re-fining and reorganizing our staffing modelto better serve our students, faculty, staffand alumni. Creating additional opportuni-ties in student employment plays a signifi-cant role in our vision for an improvedArts and Sciences experience.

Student employment opportunitiesserve a primary role in assuring that stu-dents have a positive college experience.Research shows us that student employ-ment is a major predictor of student re-tention. We feel that the College of Artsand Sciences, at its core, is a studentlearning organization. It is no coinci-dence, then, that we want to expand ouroffering of student employment opportu-nities. Student employment, when donethoughtfully, provides a series of benefitsand opportunities for students. And itprovides them with a progressive experi-ence where they are provided with theopportunity to handle increasingly com-plex roles in the organization.

One area in the college that is servingas our model for implementing the pro-gressive employment experience is in ourcreative and technical services, The Hive.The Hive is able to take full advantage ofthe multitude of interdisciplinary talentthat exists in our student body. As a result,the majority of Hive’s workforce is com-prised of student workers. The Hive’smotto as it relates to student employmentis “staff directed and student produced,”

and students are empowered to use andtest the bounds of their creativity, whilereceiving the support of a core of trainedprofessionals who are committed to stu-dent development. The Hive leadershiptreats students as professionals, holds themto professional standards and gets profes-sional results.

Our new vision for the College ofArts and Sciences keeps student workersfront and center in college operations. Inaddition to the forthcoming opportunitiesin A&S Advising created by the jointSenate Student and Arts and Sciencesinitiative, we plan to dramatically in-crease the number of student employ-ment opportunities throughout the col-lege, beginning next fall as the newstaffing reorganization takes shape.

We see student employees not as asubstitute for our staff professionals; ratherthey are a complement. The student work-ers hired in the A&S Advising Center willwork with our professional advisers andfaculty advisers to provide a well-roundedadvising experience: one that offersprocess-based (professional advisers), pur-pose-based (faculty) and peer-based help.These student workers, as is the case forall A&S student workers, will be hired inaddition to, and not in lieu of, professionalstaff. In fact, concurrent to the creation ofthe student employment opportunities,A&S is hiring four new professional ad-visers to replace those advisers lost to nat-ural attrition over the past several months.

The students we hire will continue towork hand in hand with our talented staffand help us provide the A&S communitywith excellent service and outstanding re-sults. We in A&S believe that employingstudents allows us to tap into the best thatUK has to offer, while giving students realprofessional opportunities. It is a win-win.

glad that we got the victory to-day. It means a lot to me.”

Of Mathies’ 16 points, shescored 13 in the second half,and added four steals, four as-sists and four rebounds.

Though the Cats jumpedto an early lead behind two 3-pointers apiece from sopho-more guards Jennifer O’Neilland Bria Goss, the Lady Volsclimbed back behind 10 first-half points from freshman cen-ter Bashaara Graves.

Mathies contributed onlythree points in the first 20 min-utes, but her defense on Ten-nessee junior guard MeighanSimmons was vital in helpingthe Cats hold on to a 36-32lead at halftime.

“I just wanted to be outthere and be aggressive,”Mathies said. “If I could deny(Simmons) the ball and not let

her get it in the first place, Ithink that’s a big thing.”

UK’s defense dictatedmuch of the game, as the Catsforced 19 Tennessee turnoversin the first half and 31 on thegame, the most the Lady Volshave given up all season.

The Cats exploded into thesecond half. Three steals, fourpoints and one rebound fromjunior forward Samarie Walkerin the first two minutes backhelped UK quickly expandedits lead to 45-32. Also bolster-ing the Cats’ second-half per-formance was junior centerDeNesha Stallworth.

“I thought DeNesha wasbig on the offensive boards atsome critical times,” Mitchellsaid. “I thought Tennessee wasmaking a bit of a run, and oneof those putbacks when wewere struggling to score kindof settled us back down.”

Stallworth finished with12 points and eight rebounds.The second-chance opportuni-ties generated by UK’s 37 re-

bounds were plenty, as theCats shot 31 of 82 (37.8 per-cent) for the game.

Simmons kept attacking forthe Vols in the second half, de-spite her team’s deficit. She fin-ished with 17 points, 12 ofthem in the second half. Shewas joined in double-digit scor-ing by Graves with 12 points.

The victory gave Mitchellthe most wins in school historyat 139, surpassing Terry Hall.

“I’ve said many times thatI’m real fortunate to be in thisposition to coach at Ken-tucky,” Mitchell said. “It’s avery, very special place tocoach basketball.”

The win clinched the No.2 seed for the SEC Tourna-ment. The Lady Vols clinchedthe No. 1 seed Thursday.

The tournament startsWednesday, but the Cats willnot play until 6 p.m. Fridayagainst either Vanderbilt orMissouri. All games will beplayed in The Arena at Gwin-nett Center in Duluth, Ga.
