Lauren Lucas, Julia Hunt and Aimee Goffinet from Kappa Delta Sorority brave the cold at UK’s first Polar Plunge, hosted by Phi Sigma Kappa on South CampusSaturday. The event was the first of its kind hosted on a college campus in Kentucky.
The first annual Free To Breathe 5Kwalk observed Lung Cancer AwarenessMonth Sunday at UK Chandler Hospital’spavilion.
The walk started with thank yous, teamprizes and a pep talk from a lung cancersurvivor to get walkers motivated.
Gov. Paul Patton declared Novemberlung cancer awareness month in 2001, andadvocates thought this was the right time tokick off a new way to raise awareness.
Although the weather started offgloomy Sunday morning, the walk wentoff without a hitch.
Lisa Maggio and Gina Kinsella arelung cancer advocates who co-chaired theevent. Maggio is a doctoral student in theUK College of Nursing, and Kinsella is acommunity organizer.
Maggio is a nurse and she has seenfirsthand the dark side of lung cancer. Sheand Kinsella are trained advocates who be-came tired of waiting for other organiza-tions to raise awareness, so they decided toforge the path with the 5K walk.
“Lung cancer survivors and familieshave lacked any kind of support for solong,” Maggio said. “And we have got tostop that. We just have to support them.And we have got to find a cure.”
One of the biggest ways advocates aretrying to help the cause is by trying tochange the “social norm.”
It was not too long ago that a personcould smoke anywhere, but with researchstudies proving how harmful tobacco use is,public areas are no longer smoker friendly.
The Lung Cancer Partnership has beensteadfast in spreading awareness.
“There are now 37 walks nationwide,”Annie Dutcher, a partnership leader, said.“And we expect more and more walks tohappen every year. We are trying to givelung cancer a voice.”

Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternitymade a splash Saturday hostingthe first Polar Plunge on a collegecampus in Kentucky.
At the 2011 Campus Plungefundraising event, participantsdressed in costumes and jumpedinto ice-cold water to raise moneyfor the Fayette County SpecialOlympics.
The event was put together bythe fraternity’s PhilanthropyChair, Seth Fortenbery, and Spe-cial Olympics Coordinator DylanMurphy. It raised about $4,000,with donations still coming induring the event, Fortenbery said.
“As it is the first year, we justwant to raise awareness and getthe word out,” Fortenbery said.“This is something that could re-ally explode on this campus.”
The Polar Plunge attracted
about 65 participants. Some weredressed in costumes, and theyjumped in groups or jumped indi-vidually.
One of the participants, juniorAustin Yates, dressed as SantaClaus. He heard about CampusPlunge through his fraternity, Sig-ma Chi.
“It’s not as bad as anyonemakes it out to be and it’s for agreat cause,” Yates said. He is fa-miliar with Polar Plunges becausehe participated in them often inhigh school as a member of JuniorAchievement in Bowling Green,
Ky.Music was played throughout
the event to keep viewers engagedand participants fired up.
It also came in handy whenseveral women from Alpha PhiSorority took the stage dressed asiPods and danced their way intothe pool one at a time.

Women’s soccer drops 1st-round NCAA game
The UK women’s soccer teamlost to Washington State in the firstround of the NCAA tournament Sat-urday night.
It was an electric atmosphere atthe UK soccer complex, the firsttime UK had hosted such a game in12 years.
“It was so special,” UK headcoach Jon Lipsitz said. “I wanted sobadly to get us over the hump. Iknow people look and say we’vecome so far in these three years butyou always want more.
“I wanted that moment for theplayers when all that work comestrue.
“The fans stood by us and theycheered so hard. They are amaz-ing.”
The capacity crowd had reason
to cheer early when the Cats drew apenalty kick in the 40th minute off aWashington State handball in thebox. Senior Kelsey Hunyadi con-verted the kick to put UK up 1-0going into the half.
But Washington State respondedquickly in the second half.TheCougars collected a rebounded shotin the 65th minute and found theback of the net, taking advantage ofa goalie drawn out of position to tiethe game.
Both offenses stalled the rest ofthe game, producing few legitimatescoring chances.
“They were really fast,” seniorKiondra McGee said. “But we wereprepared for that. We did a good jobof over-shifting and making sure wehad a lot of cover to cushion if wedid get beat. They got behind us afew times but we also had our

The UK Mock Trial Club is a student-run and student-led trial advocacy teamthat competes with more than 600 otherteams to solve a case presented to themeach year.
The team formed in 2007 and has wonthe Spirit Award at competitions everyyear since, meaning it portrayed the char-acters the best.
The A Team hosted its first invitationalon Oct. 29 and was undefeated.
Amy Thompson, now Amy Carpenter,founded the team.
“I competed on my high school’s mocktrial team and loved it, so when I came toUK and saw that no such organizationexisted, I was not about to let that stop mefrom competing,” she said.
The club takes one case every year andthe team members act it out as if in a realcourtroom, portraying lawyers and wit-nesses.
There are two judges at the competi-tions, who vote on which team performedbetter in each role inside the courtroom.
Lindsay Baranowski, the club’s presi-dent, said people from all majors can par-ticipate.
“It is not just for those who want to goto law school,” she said.
Baranowski wants to go to law school,so the club appealed to her because it canhelp those who are interested in law decideif they really want to go into it, she said.
“It’s a good way to give people an ideaof, ‘Do I really want to be in a courtroom?’and it is just overall a great avenue to trythings out,” Baranowski said.

November isAlzheimer’s AwarenessMonth, and one Kentuck-ian has decided to takeawareness into her ownhands.
Stephanie Gamblin of
Princeton, Ky., is taking astand for the non-curabledisease.
In an effort to raiseawareness and support re-search, Gamblin decidedto create a specialty Ken-tucky license plate forAlzheimer’s.
A design has been cre-
ated, and Gamblin needs900 people in Kentucky tocommit to buying one.
The goal is to get the900 people committed tothe license plate by thissummer, and she hopes toreceive as many as possi-ble by Dec. 31.
Ashley Schaffner of
the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion also helped get theproject started.
“Personally, I think theplates are a beautiful wayfor Kentucky drivers toexpress their concern andsupport for ending thesixth-leading cause ofdeath in the United
States,” Schaffner said.Gamblin’s father was
diagnosed withAlzheimer’s in 2004 at theage of 62. She said he hasprogressively becomeworse over the years andnow he lives in a nursing

PHILADELPHIA — She’s the trophy blondein “The Rum Diary,” an object of beauty likethe Austin-Healey her fiance drives, or the‘60s modern beach house they share.
But Amber Heard knows there’s more tothis character, Chenault is her name, who jetti-sons everything to go on a tear with a besottednewspaperman (played by one Johnny Depp).
“She has this gilded cage, and on the out-side she represents this dream of what menstrive to obtain,” says Heard. “So, I like thatshe looks like that, but is anything but. She’s arebel, a free-spirited, fiercely independent,flawed human being.
“Very flawed,” she adds, “and she has ajourney to go on.”
Heard, 25, was in town last week to talkup “The Rum Diary” and her role a role sheauditioned long and hard to receive.
“It's hard to find complex female charac-ters,” says the actress, a veteran of moviesgood (“North Country” she's the young Char-lize Theron; “Pineapple Express”) and not so
good (“The Stepfather,” “The Joneses”). Shewas also one of the stars of the short-livedNBC series “The Playboy Club.” “I'll just sayit it's damn near impossible. We tend to cate-gorize women in one of two ways. One cate-gory affords them the opportunity to be sexy,beautiful or cute, and there’s nothing else. ...
“The other category affords women theopportunity to be complicated, funny, intense,bitchy, strong, mean, endearing, vulnerable,respected, intelligent. But if you’re in that cat-egory, you cannot be beautiful or sexy, cute.
“And in compartmentalizing women intoeither group, we tend to ignore any overlaps,we don't allow any confusion, we don't allowthose two to blur. ... And I’m frustrated by thatreality, and know, because I am a woman, thatI am far more complex. ...
“I want to continue to bring more to mycharacters. I don't know if I always do that,but I certainly attempt it.”

The team is celebratingits fifth season of being theonly student-run and stu-dent-led competitive mocktrial team in the area, some-thing that Baranowski likes.
It “allows us to run theorganization and build ourleadership skills on ourown,” she said.
The team is currentlylooking to recruit four to fivepeople to join one of thethree teams, all of which take
turns competing, but all dothe same thing.
A member of the inau-gural team, David Carpen-ter, said the club can im-prove public speaking, writ-ing, debating and actingskills. “It never looks bad ona resume, either,” he said.
“Competitions are ener-gizing environments wherethe mildest member on theteam can suddenly becomethe fiercest debater you’veever seen,” he said.

home. “I just felt helpless,” she
said. “I kept asking myself,what can I do to help?”
For the past few years,Gamblin has wanted to raiseawareness and has participat-ed in numerous memorywalks to end Alzheimer’s dis-ease.
Alzheimer’s is an irre-versible brain disease and aform of dementia that getsworse over time and has nocure. The disease causesmemory impairment, thinkinginabilities, judgment prob-
lems and a change in person-ality and behavior.
The risk builds as a per-son gets older and can run infamily history. Having a closeblood relative who developedthis disease increases the riskof obtaining it.
Gamblin got the idea forthe plate while at the Prince-ton County Clerk’s Officewhen she noticed the spe-cialty license plates for can-cers.
“I wondered why therewasn’t one for Alzheimer’s,so I decided to make this mypersonal project,” she said.
After talking with theclerk’s office and, Gamblin’swish has been granted.
“I wanted to do some-thing for my dad,” she said.
There is no cure forAlzheimer’s and many elder-ly people are being diagnosedwith this disease. Gamblinasks for help in getting theword out and raising aware-ness.
Schaffner said 80,000Kentuckians are affected bythe disease.
“The license plates aremeant to raise funds that willsupport local education initia-
tives,” she said.Those who apply for the
plate will be notified by thelocal county clerk when theplate is ready, around threemonths after the 900 commit-ments are a definite.
There will be a $25deposit that will be applied tothe initial or renewal fee.Applicants will also have theoption of including a $10 add-on donation to Alzheimer’sawareness and education inKentucky.

After sophomores Terrence Jones, above, and Stacey Poolewere in a car accident, Calipari instituted a team curfew.
He sat in a blue chair about16 hours after he was a passen-ger in a highly publicized inci-dent, the swarm of mediaaround him, waiting for thequestions to come.
The first: How was yourday?
“It was all right,” Jonessaid, and he couldn’t resist asmile after that one. Not be-cause he was intentionally coyor joking, just that he knew allof what had transpired couldnot be simply summed up with“all right.”
He ended up expanding onthat answer — a lot. He heldcourt for about 10 minutes, giv-ing his side of the story on theaccident, denying reports thatsaid he had been drinking, ex-plaining why he fled the scenewhen a close high school friendand a college teammate stayedbehind. He answered them all.
Not to overdramatize whathe did. The incident was notthat serious, from a broad per-
spective. He wasn’t at fault,and by his and head coachJohn Calipari’s accounts, didn’tdo anything wrong besides go-ing out late to support a friendthe night before a game.
Which, on the flip side,shouldn’t be overlooked. Hesaid he was going to listen to afriend perform a song at a ven-ue. That’s nice of him. It’s alsoirresponsible to do that aftermidnight on the night beforethe first game of a seasonwhen you’re supposed to be anew man and a matured leader.True, it’s understandable sincehe is a college kid, but he’salso a college basketball star atKentucky, where players are“held to a higher standard,” asCalipari wrote.
But he still had to answerfor his actions. UK’s MediaRelation department had prede-termined that he would need todo so, but Jones seemed morethan willing to take full ac-countability for his night, bothto us and to his team.
“He apologized to us. Youcould tell he was really sin-cere,” Darius Miller said. “Hedid a great job of taking re-sponsibility for his actions.We’re not really worried about
it, we’re just moving on.”Unless, of course, it’s after
11 p.m. on weekdays or mid-night on weekends, which isthe newly instituted curfew im-posed by Calipari.
As for UK, it’s hoping tomove on with better play fromthe veterans.
For the first time ever, UKstarted three freshmen in a sea-son opener. It needed them.Jones, coming off the bench,scored eight points. DariusMiller matched that, but hadzero in the first half.
“I just think I have to do abetter job of being ready everysingle game, being more con-
sistent and respecting our op-ponent,” Miller said. “I think Igot caught up in last game andhow easily we won (an 85-point win over Morehouse). Ireally can’t be doing that.”
It would help if he didn’t.Calipari knows the value ofhaving steady production fromveterans. Last season, it’s all hetalked about down the stretch,when games were increasing inimportance and the veterans’play was stagnant.
Against Marist, he criti-cized Miller and Lamb (andwould have criticized Joneshad he not been fresh off theaccident, which changes theequation for a player when heknows all anyone is talkingabout is him).
“Defensively, Doron andDarius are not where they needto be with the rest of theseguys,” Calipari said. “I don’tknow if they were uptight be-cause it’s the real season nowand the stuff is on and we’rethis highly ranked team.”
I hope that’s not the case,because that’s the opposite ofhow it should logically work.Relying on freshmen and hop-ing for veterans to pull throughis what UK doesn’t want.

The UK football teamtook its show on the road forthe first time since Oct. 8,traveling to the Vanderbilt
Commodores in an SEC Eastshowdown with bowl gameimplications. The Cats’ roadwoes continued as they fell38-8.
From the start of thegame, UK looked out ofrhythm and overwhelmed by
a Vanderbilt team fighting forjust its second bowl berthsince 1982. In the first quar-ter, a bad snap to punter RyanTydlacka prevented the seniorfrom getting a kick away, as aswarm of Vanderbilt defend-ers downed him at the UK 2-yard line. Vanderbilt scoredon the next play to take a 7-0lead it would never relin-quish.
Behind quarterback Jor-
dan Rodgers, Vanderbilt wasable to move the ball withrelative ease all game longon a much-improved UK de-fense. The Dores totaled 410yards, 203 on the groundand 207 more in the air ontheir way to five touch-downs on the day. The Cats,on the other hand, accumu-lated 211 total yards for thegame.
UK’s struggles on offenseonly compounded the team’sissues on defense. Freshmanquarterback Maxwell Smith,in his third consecutive game
seeing significant time undercenter, was never able to findconsistency with his receiversin the passing game. Smithfinished the game 15-31 pass-ing for 179 yards and atouchdown, but stumbled to4-11 passing for 22 yards inthe first as Vanderbilt extend-ed its lead.
With just 48 yards rush-ing to compliment the pass-ing game, UK lost the time ofpossession battle to Vander-bilt 38 minutes to 22. On bothsides of the ball, Vanderbiltlooked to be the more pre-
pared and talented team,breaking the mold of SECcellar-dweller.
For UK, the loss is crip-pling to its chances of makinga bowl game this season. TheCats (4-6, 1-5 SEC) will needto win both of its last twogames, beginning next weekat SEC East-leading Georgiaand finishing against arch-nemesis Tennessee.
The game in Athens nextSaturday will kick-off at12:21 p.m. as the SEC Net-work’s featured game of theweek.

While there are manyways to honor deceased vic-tims of disease, UK is pre-senting a unique way to me-morialize AIDS victims.
The Student ActivitiesBoard is presenting an AIDSMemorial Quilt exhibit in theRasdall Gallery that opensMonday.
The AIDS Memorial Quiltwas established in 1987 inSan Francisco as a type ofmonument to remember lostAIDS victims.
Leslie Foster, SAB’scommittee chair for culturalarts, is excited to see the im-pact the quilt will have.
“I think it is a pretty eye-opening experience to some-thing that people may not beaware of,” Foster said. “Itwill help students identifywith the problem and see how
people are experienceingtheir loss.”
The quilt is made up of12-by-12-foot blocks — eachsection of the block createdand designed by families,friends and partners of AIDSvictims. The blocks are sowntogether and continue to growlarger through the years.
Shannon Ruhl, SAB’s di-rector of cultural arts, said thequilt is meant to memorializeand bring awareness to HIVand AIDS prevention.
Ruhl said the exhibit co-incides with World AIDS Dayon Dec. 1. University HealthService and other campus or-ganizations will also holdevents to honor World AIDSDay.
“The idea is that the indi-vidual sections ... come to-gether to make a universalquilt; a universal memorial,”Ruhl said.
The exhibit showcases
eight blocks of the quilt, andRuhl said each section is dif-ferent in its design.
“Most have names or say‘World AIDs Day 1996,’”Ruhl said. “Each one is dif-ferent and unique in what ittries to portray or representthe memory of each victim.”
Foster was moved by thedesign. “I had mixed feel-ings because some of it wasreally cool to see,” she said,“and some of it was sad tosee because of what peoplewrote.”
UK has shown the quiltin the past and Ruhl said it isimportant for the quilt to beshown again because the is-
sue of AIDS is still prevalent. “I know that there are stu-
dents who are affected bythis, even if not personally,through their friends, family,”Ruhl said. “We are bringingawareness to it in a beautifuland constructive way.”
Ruhl said it was a specialexperience to be a part of put-ting the exhibit together andbelieves other students willhave a similar experience byvisiting it.
“To summarize this se-mester, we are trying to bringnew experiences to the stu-dent body,” Ruhl said.“Something they haven’t seenbefore or a sense of exposureand a sense beyond their un-derstanding of what might bein a gallery.”
The pieces of the quiltchosen for this exhibit honorsvictims from this region,which illustrates how close tohome the issue of AIDS is formany.
Foster said there are acouple of pieces with Lexing-ton and UK on them.
“You will see sectionsthat have objects and memen-tos that have been sewed onor attached to the quilt,” Ruhlsaid. “Some of these are notyour typical patchwork.”
Ruhl wants students to beaware of the issue of AIDSand also to be reminded thatquilting has a longstandingtradition in Kentucky.
“It’s important for stu-dents to see the quilt notonly to honor victims of
HIV and AIDS but also tosee a form of art that is verymuch important to Kentuckyheritage and culture,” Ruhlsaid.
“Students sometimes for-get this part and they shouldsee it as more than just acraft, but an art.”
During World AIDS Day,there will be various programson campus for students, in-cluding HIV screenings.
The day’s events will endwith a reception.
Ruhl encourages studentsto visit the exhibit.
“What makes it so specialis that each one is so differ-ent, yet they are conveying apowerful message,” Ruhlsaid. “One piece of work, onepiece of art.”

After a year as an editor atthe Kernel, I decided to take atrip around the world. You wouldtoo.
Being force-fed bean icecream, tearing leeches off ofsomeone’s ankle and burning theheck out of your leg might notsound super enjoyable, but I hada great time in Malaysia.
I only spent three days there,but you can fit a lot of living intothat time — sort of like you canfit a lot of variety into a smallcountry. Malaysia was luckycountry No. 13 on my trekaround the world.
I spent most of my time at ahomestay with a traditionalMalay woman who made heropinions about everything abun-dantly clear to me even thoughshe couldn’t speak English.Turns out the word “come” is re-ally all you need. Screaming atme in Malay and slapping metook care of the rest. It also turns
out that I don’t know anything.At least according to Mama Lati-pa.
I didn’t know that kneelength shorts are scandalous. Sheshook her head and gave me ahijab and a dress that lookedsomething like an orange snug-gie.
I didn’t know that Malaysianleeches can basically jump ontoyour legs. You figure that outquickly.
I didn’t know that I needed toeat more. All of the time. MamaLatipa’s glares from across thetable made calories seem sudden-ly insignificant.
Then there were the things Ididn’t know how to do. I didn’tknow how to pick out a fish at amarket that looked like the entirecast of “Finding Nemo” had beenbrutally murdered and laid out ontables. I didn’t know how to eat afish fried whole and served to mewithout utensils. I didn’t knowyou could kill a coy by feeding ita bread chunk that is too big.Oops. Am I sounding like an id-iot? Because that’s how I wasfeeling.
Somewhere along the way, Irealized that Mama Latipa wasright. I didn’t know anything —
at least not about her world. I splashed hot oil on myself
making plantain dumplings,made too deep of a cut on therubber tree when tapping it,didn’t know to pour tea into mysaucer to cool it down, didn’tcatch a single fish with the net Iwas given to cast and burned theliving daylights out of my leggetting off of her motorcycle in askirt.
A few days in Mama Latipa’sworld reminded me that there aredifferent kinds of life knowledge.
Straight A’s don’t help youwhen trying to figure out how touse a traditional toilet withoutsomething horribly embarrassinghappening. And killing testswon’t get you far in a Malaykitchen.
The good news is, womenlike Mama are happy to teach.And isn’t a big part of travelinglearning how stupid you are?
I may not have known a lotgoing into Malaysia, but Ilearned. Most importantly, Ilearned I’ll be coming back.

UK is a smoke-free campus, yetpeople still smoke on it.
Nursing students and faculty havefounded a research program that canhelp smokers learn how to live asmoke-free life.
“There are tobacco specialists thatare here on campus,” said Katie Burns,a nursing senior. “There are also nico-tine replacements available on campusthat are available to students and facul-ty for $5. Also, students have the right
to go up to smokers and ask them toput their cigarettes out.”
Kinsella said there were more than250 walkers who pre-registered andmore than $1,500 was raised.
Eighty-four cents of every dollarraised from the 5K is going to re-search grants.
Even though lung cancer is a topkiller in the U.S., it gets the leastamount of federal funding becausepeople blame the victim, Maggio said.
“The bottom line is no one de-serves cancer,” she said. “It doesn’tmatter how a person gets cancer, acure needs to be found.”

In a 1200 B.C. Greece riddled withfear and doubt in the Olympian Gods,
the brutal King Hype-rion (Mickey Rourke)and his faceless Her-aklion army threatento destroy and en-slave all.
In his search forthe powerful EpirusBow, Hyperion willleave neither peasantnor priest alive in hismerciless campaign.
After met withonly silence after along life of faith, Hy-
perion seeks to use the bow to unleashthe imprisoned Titans upon the Gods ofOlympus. With the heavens in an allout war between Gods and Titans, Hy-perion will become the dominant forcein the world. However, a small villageof peasants he destroyed may comeback to haunt him.
After witnessing his mother beingbutchered in front of him, the youngwarrior Theseus (Henry Cavill) hasvowed revenge. Having been un-knowingly guided since a child byZeus disguised as an old man (JohnHurt), Theseus is one of the greatestwarriors in all of Greece.
When his journey leads him to theAthenian oracle Phaedra (Freida Pin-

This film had great potential withits intriguing premise. The eye-poppingart production of Mark Canton (“300”)was easily the film’s greatest feature.
As far as acting is concerned, thecast held its own, but didn’t exactlyblow me away either. The only rolethat really stuck out was that of thenon-disguised Zeus played by LukeEvans (“Clash of the Titans,” “TheThree Musketeers”).
Another one of its strengths wasthe costume design. It depicted a lot ofkey figures in Greek mythology in away not seen in pop culture.
Character development in this filmwas also excellent. Theseus in particulargrew into an interesting role by the end.
In fact, I enjoyed every single partof this movie except the plot. It was sofragmented and hard to follow that itwas nearly impossible to identify withthe protagonist’s motives. It was hard toreally know who was fighting for what.
When the credits finally rolled Iwas left with a “Wait, that’s it?” feeling.
I would recommend this film ifyou are a Greek Mythology buff or re-ally into costume design. But the aver-age moviegoer will probably end upwanting his seven bucks back.

do, UK came out aggressive inthe first overtime period. Anopen shot by Caitlin Landissailed over the goal and a divingheader by Natalie Horner fellvictim to a great save by theCougar goalkeeper to keep thetie.
The second overtime was
less exciting, but much of thesame, giving way to five penaltykicks for each team to decide thegame.
Washington State made itsfirst, followed by UK’s DanielleKrohn’s shot hitting the inside ofthe right cross bar and bouncingaway.
The Cougars also made theirsecond, while Alyssa Telang’sshot sailed over the goal to put theCats in a hole.
A miss by Washington Stateand UK’s first successful try gavethe Cats a ray of hope, but two

Study abroad isa great opportunityfor one to explorewhat the world hasto offer, and com-ing to Australia hasreally been fantas-tic.
I had somesecond thoughtsabout coming hereand going halfwayaround the worldfrom family andfriends, but since
being here I have no regrets of get-ting on that plane and coming to Can-berra.
I have had the opportunity tomeet other students from all over theworld (England, Finland, Germany,Poland, Ireland, Mexico) and meetstudents from right here in Canberra.
School has been a little different— classes are held only once or twicea week for 50 minutes each and finals
are three weeks long. But with coming here there are a
few changes as well. Driving on theother side of the road has been a dif-ferent experience as well as havingRugby being the No. 1 sport playedin Australia.
Even though I am halfway aroundthe world, I still keep up with UKback home in all sports and listen tofootball and basketball every timethey play.
Since arriving here in Australia, Ihave had the opportunity to explorewhat Australia has to offer. Seeingkangaroos is one of these opportuni-ties, it is not every day that you wakeup and see a kangaroo right outsideyour door. That was an eye openerwhen I first saw it.
Also, I have had the chance tohold a koala bear, which will proba-bly never happen again in my life-time. I went scuba diving for the firsttime at the Great Barrier Reef inCairns for spring break and that is
truly an amazing site to see.It was a great experience, but that
is not all. I have been to Sydney four times
since being here and I have been tothe Sydney Opera House, SydneyTower, Blue Mountains, SydneyWildlife Reserve and Aquarium.
There is even a Hard Rock Caféthat a few friends and I decided tograb dinner at.
I have been surfing at Seven MileBeach with Rip Curl as well.
There are many more events thathave taken place since being here andthese events are memories that willlast a lifetime. I greatly encourageeveryone to study abroad; it is achance that is once in a lifetime.

UK charges student’sfees beyond graduation
I am a recent graduate of the University ofKentucky. I received my Master’s degree in Au-gust 2011 after receiving my bachelor’s degreein May 2010. This past week, I was honored toreceive my diploma in the mail. There was, how-ever, one thing missing this year that was not lastAugust: a free copy of my official transcript.
Many graduates may never need one, oreven want one, but the fact is that in the pastUK has provided its students with this alongwith their coveted diploma. And some, like my-self, may have wanted to see the final result ofall our hard work for each class, besides the ob-vious diploma.
Instead, UK provided me with a certificatefor a free transcript, but I will have to pay theprocessing fee and mailing costs, if any apply.
It is sad to say that I can believe that UKwould succumb to this pitiful level to save whatwould honestly amount to less than a buck perstudent, but I can believe it. UK has found away to get money out of students even after theyhave finished school. Congratulations.

The point margin was notquite 85 points, but UK chartedits first regular season victoryagainst Marist 108-58 Fridaynight at Rupp Arena.
The Cats got off to a quickstart, scoring early in the firsthalf and causing Marist to callits first time out after threeminutes of play.
Their run didn’t last long,though. Marist caught up aftermaking a few big threes andtook an 18-17 lead with 13:30left on the clock, in what wasits largest lead of the game.
Marist beat the Cats on thedribble numerous timesthroughout the first half, butfreshman forward MichaelKidd-Gilchrist kept findingways to change the game.Kidd-Gilchrist led the Cats with
11 total points in the first half,as well as accounting for fiverebounds, two blocks and twosteals. He ended the game with15 points, seven rebounds, twoblocks and two steals.
“Without Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Anthony Davis,we are down at halftime,” Cali-pari said. “Those two were sogood in the first half. That’s theonly reason we were up.”
Five of UK’s players scoredin double digits. Davis, whowas named Player of the Game,accounted for 23 points and 10rebounds while shooting 10-13from the floor.
Sophomore guard DoronLamb tallied 15 points whilefreshman guard Marquis Teaguehad 15 and freshman forwardKyle Wiltjer accounted for 14.
Sophomore forward Ter-rence Jones didn’t score hisfirst points until less than three
minutes remained in the firsthalf, with a three from the leftside, then came back to graban offensive rebound anddunked, allowing UK to pullaway 45-36. He walked awayfrom the season opener witheight points and nine rebounds,and was named Sub of theGame.
Following a car accidentaround 2:30 a.m. Friday, Jonesdidn’t start in UK’s seasonopener. Because Jones was outso late, head coach John Cali-pari now requires a curfew forthe team.
“He apologized to us,” sen-ior guard Darius Miller said.“You could tell he was sincere,and we’re not really worriedabout it.”
Defensively, fans sawsome of the press Head CoachJohn Calipari has been talkingabout, but the offensive play
was lacking. Due to the fastpace of the game, UK andMarist traded turnovers in thefirst half. Marist ended thegame with 14 turnovers andUK ended with nine.
In the second half, UKstarted to build intensity on theoffensive side of the court,making the Cats’ largest lead at30 at the 12:06 mark.
It was all UK from there.The Cats continued to performconsistently for the remainderof the half.
“The first half, we startedoff just not playing as well aswe could,” Jones said. In thesecond half, “We were stunt-ing, helping each other, talk-ing more, playing defense,(doing things) we do in prac-tice.”
The Cats face No. 13Kansas Tuesday at MadisonSquare Garden at 9 p.m.

PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFFreshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, above, scored 15 points inUK’s 108-58 win. Freshman Anthony Davis scored 23.
The UK women’s basket-ball team used the momentumfrom an 18-2 run early in thesecond half to defeat theMorehead State Eagles 96-60in a physical, foul-filled con-test.
The Eagles led the Cats athalftime 32-31 with More-head State winning the re-bounding battle 26-19 atJohnson Arena in MoreheadFriday night.
“We just had too manypeople standing and not at-tacking the offensive glass,”said UK head coach MatthewMitchell. “There was a lot ofball-watching on the defen-sive end.
“I was disappointed in oureffort in the first half.”
The Cats took control ear-ly in the second half. Afterfalling behind for the last
time 36-34, the Cats went onan 18-2 run to take the lead.
UK outscored the Eagles65-28 in the final half andout-rebounded them 30-12.Morehead State had moreturnovers (18) than field-goals (8) in the second half.
The physical play led toboth teams finding them-selves in the double-bonusless than six minutes into thesecond half.
“Fouling negates hustle,”Mitchell said. “Doublebonus — we just can’t havethat happen a whole lot earlyin halves like we didtonight.”
“It was a very physicalgame,” said MSU head coachTom Hodges. “The combina-tion of running and consecu-tive trips down the floor withphysical play were the deter-mining factor.”
The Cats were led by abreakout performance from
sophomore guard KastineEvans, who came off thebench to score 23 points.
“I came out with someenergy and helped with thetempo and everything elsejust fell into place after that,”Evans said. “I just gave myall to play Kentucky basket-ball.”
Eight Cats players shared20 assists for the game.
“This is a team that has alot of good ball handlers,”Mitchell said. ”I think wecan be a very good assistteam.”
Amber Smith made herregular-season return for theCats, coming off the bench toscore seven points and dishfour assists in her 14 minutesof action.
“Amber gave us some en-ergy and some veteran leader-ship,” Mitchell said. “Shewas a big difference in uswinning.”
