President Lee Todd deliv-ered his final State of theUniversity Address on Thurs-day morning.

The address came a littleover of week after Todd an-nounced his decision to retirein June.

Student GovernmentPresident Ryan Smith also

addressed campus. Smith saidSG will, “Remain dedicatedto Dr. Todd’s vision to attractthe best and brightest in thisstate and region,” and will,“continue his mission of re-cruiting.”

Smith also spoke aboutthe growth of the LeadershipDevelopment Program, thesuccess of Tally Cats and thenew student-driver programfocused on student safety.

“All of these good deedsare a fraction compared to theaccomplishments of Dr.Todd,” Smith said.

Todd was not shy aboutcriticizing state leaders whosebudget cuts have stalled theTop 20 Initiative.

“I am embarrassed wewrote the Top 20 Plan, gotthe funding, got a top-fiveprovost, got deans that couldbe at Top 20 schools and

can’t give them a raise,” Toddsaid.

UK has been able to in-crease enrollment during hardeconomic times, Todd said.

“Our budget is up $6 mil-lion and students up 4,000,"Todd said. "I’d like to see thestate government be that effi-cient.”

The deans received highpraise.

“With this set of deans,

this place is going to go for-ward,” Todd said. “They keepus going [despite] nine budg-et cuts in nine years.”

Todd said the addresswas not a farewell speech,but said he will remain busyover the next nine monthsand wants to visit each col-lege at UK before his retire-ment.

Todd said he wants UK tostay on course with its current

plan and believes in the planhe wrote nine years ago.

“Some say, ‘Wave thewhite flag on Top 20,'" Toddsaid. "That would be a mis-take.”

UK’s standing in rankingslike the U.S. News and WorldReport was an important top-ic. Todd said UK is “notabout stats and rankings, butabout bringing change in the

THE PLACE TO BE

High school students in eastern and southern Ken-tucky will have a new opportunity to attend UK onscholarship.

UK is the latest Kentucky college or university tooffer scholarships to graduates of The Center for Ru-ral Development’s Rogers Scholars youth leadershipprogram—a program that emphasizes the develop-ment of technological skills and builds in participantsa sense of leadership, an entrepreneurial spirit, and acommitment to rural Kentucky. The announcementmakes UK one of 15 schools to offer the scholarshipsfor the program’s graduate. The program aims to keepstudents in Kentucky and lead their communities aftercollege.

“There is a huge issue of the out-migration of theregion’s best and brightest,” president and CEO of TheCenter for Rural Development Lonnie Lawson said.“Students will leave and never come back.”

Founded in 1998, the Rogers Scholars programhas graduated more than 700 students. To get into theprogram, students apply during their sophomore yearin high school, and those selected through a competi-tive process attend the program during the summer be-fore their junior year. The program is held in Somersetand the surrounding area, with most events takingplace at The Center. Students are housed at a local ho-tel, and all lodging, meals and program expenses arefree.

“It’s very intense for just a week,” Michael Cor-nett, director of marketing and public relations for TheCenter said.

During the week, scholars are able to participate inmajors in video production, information technology,and engineering.

This year’s Festival Latino de Lexington will befree to the public and feature traditional cuisine, dance,art crafts , live music, and a “Carnival” Parade.

“Under the current government’s budget situationthis event would not be possible without businessesand sponsors funding the event,” Alana Insko, specialevents director of Parks and Recreation, said.

Each day has a different theme. Friday’s theme isCarribean and festivities will feature free dance les-sons, similar to the salsa dancing lessons at the MartinLuther King Cultural Center.

“The highlight of the weekend is the Carnival Pa-rade” Irene Jarmin, the director of this year’s festival.said.

Saturday will be focused more on Latin Ameri-ca, particularly Brazil. The parade echoes the tradi-tional Brazilian Carnival and will feature floats and-performers from different countries. Miss Kentucky

Students will have achance to experience Chineseculture on Saturday, Septem-ber 18 with the Moon Festi-

The Moon Festival willgive students an opportunityto participate in a long run-ning Chinese celebrationwhile enjoying moon cakes,

traditional song and dance,and learning a little aboutChinese culture as well.

“The Moon Festival, alsoknown as the mid-autumnfestival, is one of the mostimportant holidays celebratedby Chinese people around theworld,”president of KYCAAChangzheng Wang said. “Theholiday probably originated

from the harvest celebrationfarmers had at the end of thesummer. Family memberswill travel very far to be to-gether for this special occa-sion. For those who cannot betogether for one reason or an-other, they can take comfortin eating the moon cake, gaz-ing at the

When students are oncampus, the whole world cannow know.

UK is now connected toFacebook Places, a new ap-plication that allows users toeasily share where and whatthey’re doing, as well as thefriends they’re doing the ac-tivity with.

Places users can findfriends using the applicationwho are in their same area.According to Facebook, users

can check in and the updatewill appear on the Place page,friends’ news feed and users’wall.

“Our students live onFacebook, we know that,”said Bozeman. “Students‘checking in’ at variousevents and locations on cam-pus also allows their friendsat home to see what is goingon at UK and may peak theirinterest in attending our uni-versity.”

“College students are im-mersed in technology – usingit to interact, connect, learn

and share their ‘see blue.’ ex-perience,” said UK PresidentLee Todd, Jr.

“Actually, it’s prettyawesome,” mathematicsfreshman Timmy McNiffsaid. “If I’m in Whitehall anda friend is here, after class wecan meet up.”

While McNiff finds ituseful, others see FacebookPlaces as a double-edgedsword.

“If you’re trying to avoidsomebody, this new appmakes it harder to do so,”secondary education fresh-

man Jeffrey Barnett said.Although Barnett wor-

ried about the application’sprivacy, Bozeman saidthere is nothing to fretover.

Ben Affleck set for awards

Horoscope

Ben Affleck’s “TheTown” should earn him anOscar hat trick: nominationsfor best director, writer andactor. Such praise is well de-served for “The Town.”

The town is Charlestown,a Boston neighborhood that’sproduced multiple genera-tions of bank and armored-car robbers. Larceny skillsare passed down the waymost people share familyheirlooms.

Doug MacRay (Affleck)wants out after he falls for ahostage from a previous rob-bery. He thinks he’s found away to financially escapethrough a huge heist he’s be-ing forced to commit.

That Affleck has such a

sharp directing style is nosurprise. He showed skillhandling the criminal andpersonal sides of a complicat-ed story in his 2007 release“Gone Baby Gone.”

There’s no sign Afflecklost focus by also playing thelead role. His work as direc-tor and actor are equallykeen. Affleck’s acting effortsare magnified by a standoutsupporting cast topped by Je-remy Renner as Doug’s bestfriend and criminal partner.

Renner has a talent forcreating characters who ap-pear to live in the dark spacebetween sanity and insanity,and this performance is razorsharp.

The surprise is Blake

Lively as Doug’s occasionallove interest drugged-outsingle mom Krista Coughlin.

Lively, who is so closelyassociated with the high fash-ion, high society CW series“Gossip Girl,” transformsherself. Pulling off the rolewas pivotal to the structure ofthe film.

Good movies are the re-sult of great directing deci-sions. Great movies comefrom making decisions noone else will make. Affleckshows with “The Town” howhe’s turned a lot of tough de-cisions into one of the bestfilms of the year.

state." Todd said he sees UK

as a school of opportunitythat has a duty to serveKentucky’s rural and in-ner-city citizens.

Todd praised UK’sprogress on diversity.

“I can see PattersonPlaza from my office andit’s wonderful when class-es change,” Todd said. “It’sa visual view of diversity,and I’m proud of that ac-complishment.”

He also praised thecompleted first part ofChandler Hospital’s mas-sive expansion, UK beingnamed the official HealthServices Provider for theWorld Equestrian Gamesand the College of Agri-culture’s work with thegames from the begin-ning.

The school’s “War onAttrition,” led by ProvostKumble Subbaswammy,has also been a huge suc-cess, Todd said.

He singled out the in-dividual accomplishmentsin the UK family. UKalumnus Bub Asman wasin attendance. He won theAcademy Award for BestSound Editing for the film"Letters from Iwo Jima"and has worked on otherfilms such as "MysticRiver," "Million DollarBaby" and "Gran Torino."Former UK track starRondel Sorrillo, was also

recognized for being aneight time All-Americanand the only Wildcat toever win the NCAAChampionship in the 200-meter dash.

The freshman classwas acknowledged as be-ing the most academicallyprepared in school history.

The Singletary Schol-ars, whose average ACT is33 and GPA is 3.99, werealso recognized.

“We make offers toget offers 25," Todd said."The yield was so much,we got 31.”

Todd said Athletic Di-

rector Mitch Barnhart hasdone great work with theathletic department.

"Every student-athletehas the opportunity tocompete for champi-onships,” Todd said.

In closing, Todd saidwhen he is asked what heis most proud about UK,he answers "the change inattitude of the institu-tion."

“If you want to see auniversity make extra ordi-nary progress in the face ofchallenges, look in themirror," Todd said.

In addition to keeping thestudents in the region, the pro-gram instills respect for south-ern and eastern Kentucky,Lawson said.

“If we educate them here,they’ll stay here,” he said. “Ifthey go away, they’ll nevercomeback unless they’re retir-ing here.”

Lawson said the partner-ship with UK would be hugein the Center’s student reten-tion efforts.

“With UK being a landgrant institution, it was a per-fect fit,” he said. “Students canrelate with the school throughsports and other means. Theygrow up hearing about UK.”

“Many of the culturaldisplays will help people tounderstand the festival. Stu-dents attending the eventwill be able to interact withpeople and experience theexcitement people have forthe festival,” Wang said.“There will also be mini-Chinese lessons offered on-site.

Boston conference offers inside look at future of Fair Trade The world marketplace

lacks traceability, trans-parency and accountability,

and theconsumeris partial-ly toblame.

LastFriday, Iflew toBostonfor an as-semblyof 750support-ers of theglobal,

economic, humanitarianand social movement, FairTrade.

I was thrilled to be inthe company of vibrant,passionate leaders whoshare the same interest inthe welfare of suppliers inother countries. However, Ileft Lexington in search of

truth surrounding FairTrade, its promises and ifthey followed through.

Fair Trade is not a newconcept but requires gener-al explaining. Simplified,Fair Trade seeks to providefair, premium wages to ar-tisans and farmers in im-poverished nations, so theycan have a sustainable in-come to support them-selves.

The Fair Trade FuturesConference in Boston cor-ralled producers, students,activists and business-own-ers from around the worldinto a three-day discussion.

I spoke with coffeeproducers from Peru, Mex-ico and Nicaragua, and Ilistened to how Fair Tradeimpacted their lives. Oneproducer, Rigoberto Con-trero Diaz, represents acoffee farm in Chiapas,Mexico with 800 workers.

He said before Fair Tradecertification, he was unableto market the coffee.

“Our problem was, wedidn’t know how,” Diazsaid. “We just knew howto produce it.”

Because of this, as isthe case with many coffee

producers, middlemen or“coyotes” got involved andtook advantage. In Diaz’scase, it was a Swiss agron-omist who knew littleabout the culture or thedignity of the workers.

“He saw us as inexperi-enced in how we did ourbusiness and instead ofsupporting our coopera-tives, they wanted to shutus down,” Diaz said. “Hedid not know the life of theproducer, he was just try-ing to make a profit.”

In 1999, Diaz’s farmbecame a Fair Trade coop-erative and is still supply-ing coffee beans to coffeeshops abroad, includingKentucky.

Although life is im-

proving for coffee produc-ers, Diaz said, “there isstill a long way to go.”

This was apparent tome for the duration of theconference. The divide be-tween global north andsouth pervaded, even inthis forward-thinkingmeeting of like-mindedpeople.

Business owners (evenFair Trade) in the UnitedStates are losing sight ofwhy the movement wascreated — the producers.“Business strategies” was afrequent theme of the ses-sions — and amidst thesplendor of chocolates,olive oil, scarves and jew-elry, I felt that the handsthat created them were notthe loudest voices present-ed.

The hope therein lies inthe next generation, us.The college students. Fair

Trade is a business modelthat has potential to changelives. I heard a producerfrom India talk about tex-tiles in Calcutta and howFair Trade ensures educa-tion for children in hiscommunity. A Kenyanwoman talked about FairTrade providing opportuni-ties for women and a sub-sequent increase in womenattending schools and uni-versities.

This is the future, andthe key is showing theconsumer where productsoriginate. The consumerand the company must beheld accountable, and so-cial progress in the globalcommunity will certainlyfollow.

“Business strategies” was a frequent themeof the sessions — and amidst the splendor of chocolates, olive oil, scarves and jewelry, I feltthat the hands that created them were not the

PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFFUK alumnus Robert Burge and medical student Mottsin Thomas practice their judo techniques in Alumni Gym Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010.

Getting help from themasters can improve yourperformance in any sport. Forthe judo team, this conceptbecame a reality.

Robert Burge has beendoing judo for eight years.

“I was looking for some-thing to do, some type of mar-tial arts,” Burge said. “I sawthe judo club practice by acci-dent and the thing I liked aboutjudo is that it’s authentic be-cause these people were reallyfighting. There was this cama-raderie between them, I could-n’t understand how they hadjust fought so vehementlyagainst each other but theywere such good friends.”

Judo is a sport that re-quires technique and physicalstrength alike. According to

Burge, judo includes high-in-tensity workouts and helpsthe body develop harmo-niously while adding agility.

For the past two summers,Japanese judo masters havecome to Lexington and sharedtheir knowledge with the team.

“A few weeks ago we hadthe Japanese Masters Judo As-sociation, which is a travelingteam of older men, visit us,”Burge said. “They came herefor a clinic all the way fromJapan. These guys were in their70s and 80s and they were allhealthy, very strong and couldcompete with college-aged ath-letes and they could win.”

President Alex Mohn alsoreminisced on the time spentwith the judo masters.

“These guys are the ab-solute highest rank and theycame here to give us demon-

strations and teach us whatthey know,” Mohn said.

Burge described pre-arranged, choreographed tech-niques that are done todemonstrate the principles be-hind each technique as kata.

“Each person in this trav-eling team demonstrated theirfavorite technique to thegroup, and they also did thejudo kata,” Burge said. “Forexample, there is one calledNage no Kata, which inJapanese means ‘the stand-ing.’ He takes 15 of the 67standing techniques anddemonstrates those just toshow what the principle is be-hind each one.”

Burge acknowledged thetemperament the Japanesemasters brought to Lexington.

“Their spirit and the factthat they would spend the time

and money to come all the wayhere just to share judo with asmall group of people, it wasvery generous,” Burge said.

Mohn recognized the im-pact judo had on his life.

“I love it. It’s a ton of funand great exercise. It also mademe realize I never want to getinto a real fight,” he said.

Burge said judo taughthim to be a better person.

“It does change yourcharacter, and that’s really thegoal of judo,” Burge said.“It’s a philosophy that youcan apply to your life, it’s notjust a sport. It’s this idea ofmutual welfare and benefit sothat a judoka (one who prac-tices judo) should be an indi-vidual who is ultimately use-ful to society. They should behealthy, intelligent, strong andhave good character.”

Judo brings masters to UK

Randall Cobb vs. Man-ley Waller

Waller is the only return-ing starter in the Akron sec-ondary, which was thestrength of the defense lastseason. At 5-foot-8 and 165pounds, he'll have a handfulwith whoever he lines upagainst. Even Cobb, one ofUK's smallest receivers, hasa 20-pound advantage onhim, and he's a handful foreven the most physical ofcorners.

If the Zips decide to useWaller elsewhere, hismatchup problems won't getany better. Chris Matthews,La'Rod King and MattRoark, who have also been abig part of UK's passinggame this season, are all 6-foot-4 or taller.

Edge: Major edge forUK

Nate Burney and AlexAllen vs. UK's rushing de-fense

Burney and Allen havecombined for 288 yards in

Akron's first two games, andthe Cats showed last weekthat the rushing defense stillneeds to be finely tuned.

Defensive coordinatorSteve Brown said the rush-ing defense showed im-provement last week, but acouple mistakes resulted insome long runs. Here'sguessing those small mis-takes will be resolved by thetime Saturday rolls around.

Edge: Major edge forUK

Patrick Nicely vs.Commonwealth Stadium

Nicely started most ofhis freshman season for theZips, but didn't play the firstfour games. He's only start-ed two games against oppo-nents from BCS conferences– both of those contestswere losses to Syracuse.

Commonwealth Stadi-um's crowd of 65,000 willlikely be the biggest crowdhe's ever played in front of.He's also playing in his thirdgame using a new offensivesystem that he still isn'tcomfortable in it.

Look for UK's coachesto use this game to preparesome younger players whohaven’t played much for ac-tion later this season.

Edge: Major edge forUK
