The pages of the Kentucky Kernel for Feb. 8, 2012.TRANSCRIPT
One organization is looking forstudents to help next year’s freshmanclass get acclimated to campus.
K Crew is now accepting KTeam Leader applications until Feb.17.
Coordinators Nathan Brummettand Alexa Ackermann are in chargeof hiring K Team Leaders and saidthey have already hired the 2012 Su-per Crew members.
Ackermann said they are expect-ing more than 600 applicants thisyear for K Crew positions.
“We hire about 400 to 430 be-cause we want one K Crew to every10 new freshmen,” Ackermann said.“As long as you are going to be anupperclassman in the fall of 2012 andyou are not committed to a whole lotof other leadership positions, we gen-erally want you to apply.”
K Crew is looking for fun, outgo-
ing people to fill the positions. “We are definitely going to keep
the (division of K Teams by) residenthalls because it’s nice when you meetpeople that live in the same place asyou do,” Ackermann said.
Being a K Crew Leader is notjust about getting freebies, Brummettsaid, but helping the freshmen get ad-justed to campus and keeping tabs onthem throughout the year to ensurethey are going their best.
“It goes past just helping thefreshmen get free T-shirts,” Brum-mett said in an email to the Kernel.

Life, love, LukewarmStudent uncovers shocking meaning of life in thisweek’s Lukewarm Truth
College students from allcorners of the state flooded theCapitol Rotunda Tuesday toprotest recently proposedhigher education cuts in thecommonwealth.
Several hundred studentsfrom the University ofLouisville, Western KentuckyUniversity, Morehead StateUniversity, Kentucky StateUniversity, Eastern KentuckyUniversity, Murray State Uni-versity and Northern Ken-
tucky University joined morethan 50 UK students to maketheir voices heard over an is-sue that united them all.
The rally was organizedby the Board of Student BodyPresidents, which representsthe eight public universities inKentucky.
“Higher education is anextremely important issue, andI’m here today to promote it asbest I can,” said Mary EllenWimberly, an accounting andfinance junior.
During the rally, studentsclad in their respective school
colors listened attentively astheir student body presidents,as well as several state repre-sentatives, publically addressedthe challenge of affordablehigher education in Kentucky.
“Each percent increase intuition acts as a full time taxon (Kentucky’s) students,”said UK Student GovernmentPresident Micah Fielden, whowas first to take the podium.“The burden to pay for collegehas increasingly shifted to stu-dents and their families.”
Gov. Steve Beshear’s re-cently proposed budget in-
cludes a 6.4 percent fundingcut for higher education. Sucha decrease would be the 12thin the last 12 years, said KurtisFrizzell, the student body pres-ident at Louisville.
“This is not something weshould be willing to accept,”he said.
Rep. Richard Henderson(D-KY 74th District) agreed.After joining Louisville stu-dents in taking off his shoes tosupport their theme of “Educa-tion Cuts: Kentucky’s attemptto fulfill its own stereotypes,”he initiated a “Take me backto 1999” chant, which echoedthroughout the rotunda.

The voices of the people of Haiti are mak-ing themselves heard.
It was just two years ago when the 7.0 mag-nitude earthquake struck Haiti and impacted thelives of many businesses, families and schools.
Since the natural disaster made its footprinton the country, the stories of those who sur-vived are hard to come by.
Last spring, Jeremy Popkin, a history pro-fessor and a Haiti scholar, invited Claire AntonePayton, a graduate student in the Department ofHistory and Institute of French Studies at NewYork University, to speak to his class about theevents. Payton also has a focus on Haitian His-tory.
It was then when Popkin suggested a collab-oration between Payton and the Nunn Center.
At the beginning of last year, UK’s LouieB. Nunn Center for Oral History paired withPayton for the Haiti Memory Project.
From June to December 2010, Payton col-lected more than 100 interviews for the projectfrom survivors of the earthquake in Haiti, whospoke about their experiences during the earth-quake and how life has been after.
“I had a little digital audio recorder that Ikept in my purse,” Payton said. “For the firstfew weeks I worked mostly in one camp thatwas walking distance from where I was livingand where I had made some friends.”
The purpose of the project is to preserveand record these stories in the native Creolelanguage, which they were conducted in.

College students across the countryspend thousands of dollars every year toearn their degree, but a recent studyshows some majors may pay off morethan others.
The study, done by the GeorgetownUniversity Center on Education and
Workforce, found that nontechnical ma-jors such as arts and humanities generallyhave the highest unemployment rates.
“The unemployment rate for recentgraduates is highest in Architecture(13.9 percent) because of the collapse ofthe construction and home buildingindustry in the recession,” according tothe study.
Shelby Tucker, a UK interior design
freshman, said she hasn’t let these statis-tics scare her from her passion.
“I think that if you’re doing some-thing you love and are interested in, thenyou’ll find a way to make it work,” Tuck-er said.

Dr. Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood) wasa Saturday TV fixture for years — an AnimalPlanet kind of small-screen star with tousledhair and bountiful enthusiasm for critters greatand small. “There’s magic out there!” was hisfavorite catchphrase.
And then ... something terrible happened.No, he wasn’t canceled; rather, he disappearedinto the vast reaches of the Amazon jungle.What happened to the dear boy? That’s what aTV network wants to find out, offering to payfor his search, on one condition. His wife, Tess(Leslie Hope), who will lead the search, andson, Lincoln (Joe Anderson), must consent tohave their every move chronicled by a cameracrew, led by Cole’s smug ex-producer, Clark(Paul Blackthorne). But what terrifying hor-rors await them all in the jungle?
The success of “Paranormal Activity” (1, 2or 3 — take your pick) pretty much ensuredTV would get around to a handheld cinemaverite drama with a supernatural twist one of
these days. That day has arrived, but maybe itshould have been prolonged. Cheerfully inept,“The River” is oblivious to the probability thatmore people will giggle than gasp during these44 minutes — it’s hard to imagine what any-one would be afraid of.
“Lost,” for example, had a smoke monster.“The River” has a monster that looks like awatermelon — or maybe a deflated basketball(hard to tell which through the grainyfootage). Plus, when an extended sequence in-volves a teddy bear, accompanied by lines like“That’s my teddy bear!,” then comedy is cer-tain to ensue. In fact, with minor adjustments,“The River” could easily be a send-up of thewhole genre; as it now stands, this will proba-bly turn into some sort of drinking game forfans. (Chug every time someone mentionsTeddy!)
That said, “The River” still has a quirkilyeccentric charm. It’s just so deliciously odd.

Frankfort felt students’presence — literally — asmidway through the rally halfof the students were asked tomove up to the surroundingbalconies because there was“too much weight” on thefloor.
The commotion did notprevent a continuous stream ofspeakers from voicing thehopes and demands of thosethey represented, however.
Jeremiah Johnson, MurrayState’s student body president,told a story about a student athis school whose GPAdropped from 3.8 to 1.2 onesemester.
When questioned by aca-demic officials why his gradeshad dropped so drastically, thestudent replied that he wasworking 45 hours a week justto pay for the 13 credit hourshe was also taking at that time.
“College should not be justa dream for the rich, it should
be a dream for everyone,” saidRachel Mollozzi, Eastern Ken-tucky’s student body president.
UK alumnus Ryan Quarles(R-KY 62nd District) said hehoped that dream would be-come more of a reality in thenext several years.
“Just a few nights ago,Dirty Harry told us that it washalftime in America. It’s alsohalftime in higher education inKentucky,” he said. “We mustinvest in our future or we’llpay for it later.”
Rep. Kelly Flood (D-KY75th District) said a cut will becoming.
“There is no money,” shesaid. “But I say that to you be-cause it’s real and activism iswhat we need.”
Demetrick K. Coleman,Kentucky State’s student bodypresident, discussed this reali-ty, saying, “We are here, andwe are tired now.”
But he refused to ac-knowledge such a substantialcut.
“No way, no how, no 6.4!”he announced.
Dustin Robinson, NorthernKentucky’s student body presi-dent, was the last speaker ofthe day.
He challenged studentsfrom around the state to take arealistic approach in fightingfor higher education, callingon them to contact their staterepresentative.
In an attempt to practicewhat he preached, Robinsoncalled and left a message forhis representative at the podi-um, much to the delight of allin attendance.
As Robinson departed thepodium a chant of “Hey hey,ho ho, these budget cuts havegot to go!” acted as an end to aspirited and resolute rally.
By the rally’s end Ken-tucky’s budget situation re-mained hazy, but the voice ofits college students was crystalclear.
“It truly was eye-openingto see how all these publicschools could come together inone day to support this cause,”said kinesiology freshmanEthan Stewart.
RALLYContinued from page 1
Florida head coach BillyDonovan tried to find asmany ways as he could tosay, essentially, “THEY ARESO GOOD!” after his top-10Florida team lost to a top-ranked UK team by 20points.
You see, Donovan hasplayed three of the perceivedelite teams — Ohio State,Syracuse and UK — in col-lege basketball this year, allon the road, all losses.
He wouldn’t give a fa-vorite out of that trio, but healso didn’t hold back fromgushing over UK’s abilities.
“In terms of star power,in terms of talent, onethrough six or seven, Ken-tucky has the most of any-body,” Donovan said. “Theyhave clearly six guys whowill be first-round draftpicks.”
Even more than the col-lection of individual talent —although there’s plenty of that— Donovan liked UK’s men-tality. He called it a team’s“disposition,” something in-nate in a championship-cal-iber team.
“I don’t know how to de-scribe it,” Donovan said. “Alot of their guys — Davis,Kidd-Gilchrist, Miller — justthe way those guys carrythemselves, I’m impressed
with that.”He saw pretty much all of
them, at one point or another,take a chunk out of Florida’shopes of victory.
Marquis Teague had anactive day, scoring 12 pointsand dishing 10 assists.Michael Kidd-Gilchristrecorded a double-double,too, with 13 points and 13 re-bounds.
“He steps up for everygame,” Teague said of Kidd-Gilchrist, “but he is a differ-ent person when we play bet-ter teams.”
Anthony Davis, playingin front of 24,000 posters ofhis own face, scored 16points. Doron Lamb had asecond red-hot shootingnight, finishing with 18points.
All players accounted for,UK played like it was in adifferent league for the fourthstraight game.
“They murdered us,”Florida guard Bradley Bealsaid, according to a UK re-lease.
UK’s been doing a lot ofthat lately. Opposing coacheskeep going through theirchecklist of ideas for how toslow down UK, how tonegate the variety of strengthsit possesses.
None have worked so far.Florida’s methods certain-
ly didn’t, either. Entering thegame, the Gators were sup-posed to have a good chanceof upsetting the Cats with abarrage of 3-pointers.
That didn’t happen. UKset a goal of limiting Florida
to eight 3-pointers. Do that,and they might score in the60s, UK head coach JohnCalipari said, a beatable num-ber. The Cats did better, asthe Gators made a season-lowsix 3-pointers and shot a sea-son-low 22.2 percent.
UK not only held them incheck, but one-upped them,making 9 of 15.
Teague held back fromsaying UK was unbeatablewhen it was hitting shots. He
didn’t want to go that far withit, only saying it made it “re-ally tough.”
Lamb wasn’t as shy.“Nah, no way,” he said of
opponents’ chances if theCats are knocking downshots. “It’s impossible.”
That’s about what peopleare saying when it comes tothe chances of taking downUK.
Not only in the league.In the nation, too.

Dominance continues as Cats wrestle gatorsUK proves No. 1 ranking,
keeps on winning
UK had no trouble guard-ing the 3-point shot it pre-pared for in its 78-58 winover the University of FloridaTuesday night at Rupp Arena.
“That’s not the way weplay,” Florida guard BradleyBeal said. “We played terri-ble. They murdered us.”
The Gators came outstorming with six points inthe first four minutes before amid-range jumper fell forsophomore forward DoronLamb. That six-point leadwas the largest lead theGators would have all game.
A Florida turnover led toa fast-break layup by fresh-man point guard MarquisTeague, creating momentum
to bring the Cats into thegame, trailing 6-4 with 15:05left to play in the half.
But the game was stillslow to start, with several ear-ly foul calls and turnovers byboth teams.
“We started off reallyslow,” freshman forward An-thony Davis said, “but we al-ways knew we were in it.”
Florida had five turnoversand UK had four, all in thefirst seven minutes of thegame.
Freshman forwardMichael Kidd-Gilchrist wasthe spark for the Cats, scoring10 points in the first half andsnagging nine rebounds.Kidd-Gilchrist earned hisfifth career double-doublewith 13 points and 13 re-bounds.
“He steps up for everygame, but he is a differentperson when we play betterteams,” Teague said. “He juststeps up to a whole differentlevel.”
UK went to the lockerroom with its largest lead ofthe half, leading 38-26.
While the 3-point basketswere anticipated from Floridacoming into the game, theCats out-scored the Gatorsbehind the arc, shooting 50percent in the first half whilethe Gators shot 22.2 percent.
“They know that we are a3-point shooting team andthey took our best strengthaway from us,” Beal said.“We have to find other waysto be able to put the ball inthe basket and we didn’t dothat.”
Teague recorded a dou-ble-double with 12 points and10 assists, and Calipari saidhe continues to improve.
“He had one play where
he broke down, kind ofstopped on a play, they had athree in the corner right infront of our bench,” Caliparisaid. “Short of that, he’s ter-rific. You can’t dribble aroundhim.”
Coming into the secondhalf, the Cats splashed back-to-back threes while on theother end Davis blockedback-to-back shots. UK ex-panded the lead 44-30 to startthe half.
“(Teague) got (Lamb)those shots,” Calipari said.“That gave us some breathingroom, up 12.”
UK continued to pene-trate and take the game awayfrom Florida and finishedshooting 52.7 percent fromthe field and 60 percent fromlong-range, all while holdingthe Gators to six threes.
“The main focus is tokeep winning games,” Lambsaid. “The more you win, thebetter it is.”

Last Wednesday, during alecture on the endocrine sys-tem, a junior student at UKwas abruptly and unexpected-ly hit with the epiphany thatit is all just a meaninglessjoke, a cosmic prank pulledby intangible forces in theuniverse.
And I’m not talkingabout the endocrine system,dear readers.
Said junior, whose namecannot be listed for medicalreasons, was struck with thiscatharsis at 2:34 p.m., localtime. Eyewitnesses said thathe looked up from his notes,dropped his pen in a halfheart-ed, listless manner and staredwith blank, empty eyes into aseemingly endless void.
According to sourcesclose to the student, he wasstruck with the notion that heis but a drop in the ocean ofhumanity, a microscopicspeck upon the leviathan thatis the universe.
His notes on sweat glands
and the gastrointestinal tractcame to a grinding halt as herealized that notes, tests,grades are all pointless enti-ties that suck time away fromalready severely limited andultimately meaningless lives.
His lab partner reportedthe student began mutteringabout precious childhoodnostalgia as sweat accrued onhis forehead, vehementlywishing for a simpler time.
“It was pretty deep stuff,bro,” the lab partner, a pur-ported bro, said. “Fortunately,his sweat didn’t get on mycroakies.”
Experts believe this mo-ment of clarity about the in-evitability of death and theinfinitesimal, unnoticed con-tribution we all squander ourlives trying to make wasbrought on by severalepisodes.
“There is very little sci-entific evidence to supportour causes,” said one expert,who was wearing a lab coatand glasses. “That said, webelieve that (name omitted)looked at the total world pop-ulation, realized that hiscrowded bus resembled aherd of cattle and readSteven Hawking’s ‘A BriefHistory of Time’ all in one
morning, the poor bastard.” The student’s fatalistic
thoughts were subsequentlyreplaced with the notion thatevery waking hour, minuteand second were bringinghim closer to an inevitabledeath. This notion proved toomuch for the junior, who in-terrupted the professor as shecheerily lectured on the thy-roid’s relation to the hypo-thalamus.
“What am I doing!” heshrieked, before tearing offhis clothes and running nakedout the door. “This is theonly life I’ve got!”
Classmates were original-ly frightened by the specta-cle, but wish him a speedyrecovery.
“I really miss him,” onegirl said. “And he should getbetter soon. Our healthy dietproject is due next week andmy life will be ruined if wedon’t get a good grade.”
And that, dear readers, isthe Lukewarm Truth. Notquite hot, but definitely notcold.
The editors of the Ken-tucky Kernel neither confirmnor endorse the ideas andopinions expressed in this ar-ticle. Because, really, who intheir right mind would?

A dog is working theprinting presses in Louisville.
A hound dog that is.It was about eight years
ago when Nick Baute,founder of Hound DogPress, thought it was time tostart his own business in theprintmaking industry withformer classmate RobertRonk.
Both Baute and Ronkgraduated UK in the art de-partment with a focus onprintmaking. Baute said itwas a professor who in-spired him to begin the com-pany.
“Our professor, RossZirkle, encouraged us to thinkabout all the ways of makingprints,” he said.
Zirkle, who recently dieddue to cancer “was a verygood man,” Baute said. “Hewas doing his part to developnon-toxic forms of printing… the bad part is he died ofcancer while doing it.”
When working in NewYork after graduation, Baute
soon got tired of working forothers and wanted to domore.
“I had been working forother people for three yearsand I wanted to do this— andthe only way to do this mak-ing a living was to do it your-self,” he said.
On Thursday evening theprintmaking duo will speakabout the history of the print-making process and what ittakes to start up a business af-ter college.
The program is in collab-oration with the Student Ac-tivities Board gallery of print-making exhibits entitled“Print’s Not Dead: An Exhibitof Letterpress work.”
“This is a great opportuni-ty for students who are in artand out to see how peoplelike themselves can go on tohave a successful business af-ter school,” Shannon Ruhl,SAB director of cultural arts,said.
Artwork from HoundDog Press will feature fine artprints, linoleum cuts, woodengravings and posters.
Living within a highly
technological society, Ruhlsaid she believes Hound DogPress offers something differ-ent.
“Their messages are tradi-tional, which is different insuch a digital world,” shesaid.
Adding to its uniquenessis the company name whichis derived from a simpleplace.
“I wish I had a good storyfor that,” Baute said. “I had ahound dog at one point andno one in New York knewwhat a hound dog was …seemed like a homage tohome.”
The lecture and showcasewill be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.Thursday at the RasdallGallery in the Student Center.The Hound Dog Press Exhibitwill be on display from Feb.9 to March 1.

It came down to a vote inthe Student Activities Boardoffice, and only a handful ofpeople knew who would beperforming in the annualspring concert.
Over the next few days,tantalizing hints leaked out onFacebook as to the identity ofperformers, though SAB keptthe knowledge top secret.
Rumors and guesses wererampant as to who would besinging, but the best wassaved for the actual an-nouncement last Wednesday,according to Gigi Goble, thepromotions chair for the con-certs committee.
“Everyone is really excitedabout J. Cole and Gym ClassHeroes,” she said. “It justseemed like what the studentbody would enjoy the most.”
Seth Murphy, director ofconcerts, said that student re-actions have confirmed theirpick for the spring concert.
“We felt confident that theartists would connect with thecollege crowd,” he said. “I’m
really excited about this one.”Murphy said the commit-
tee sought artists that wouldappeal to various types of stu-dents.
“We’ve had a good histo-ry with hip-hop concerts, andwe’re looking to branch outto different genres,” he said.“They (the artists) fit togetherin one show.”
J. Cole, a rapper who re-leased his first album in 2009,has quickly ascended throughthe music world with songslike “Work Out” and “Can’tGet Enough.” His work hasgarnered him a 2012 Gram-my nomination for Best NewArtist.
Gym Class Heroes,whose style Murphy de-scribed as “rap and rock,”have been on the music scenesince 1997. They have recent-ly been brought to promi-nence by singer Travie Mc-Coy’s solo career and theband’s collaboration with Ma-roon 5 in “Stereo Hearts.”
Both Goble and Murphyare excited to be working forstudents to bring the concertto UK. “It’s gonna be a great
show at Memorial Coliseum,”Goble said. “It’s put on by thestudents, for the students.”
Tickets go on sale todayfor students only, and range inprice depending on seating.Students must have a validUK Student ID to purchase aticket, and can present up tofour additional IDs for a totalof five tickets.
Ticket sales will be opento the general public Feb. 22.
Sitting or standing, upperor lower, student or anythingelse, Murphy encourages allto come out for the show.
“It’s a great opportunityto see really good acts at a re-ally small price,” he said.

editorial
Hundreds of students from state public universities traveledto Frankfort Tuesday to rally for higher education.
With a proposed 6.4 percent budget cut for higher educa-tion, tuition increases for Kentucky students are likely.
At UK, the budget cuts could mean a $19.4 million loss instate funding. Such a loss would affect programs all acrosscampus.
Moreover, students could bear the burden of making up thedifference in the form of higher tuition.
UK has seen a 161 percent increase in tuition since 2000,according to a Herald-Leader article from Jan. 18.
If tuition continues to increase, it will be more difficult formany of Kentucky’s students to pay for a college education, atUK and other state schools.
Considering all these facts, the Kernel commends the stu-dents from all across Kentucky who traveled to Frankfort Tues-day and also those from UK who signed a Student Governmentpetition opposing tuition increases.
We also applaud the efforts of state legislators, who spokeout against budget cuts and for the importance of higher educa-tion, including Reps. Ryan Quarles, Richard Henderson andKelly Flood.
While we may be divided by rivalry, size and distance, thisunification of all institutes of higher education is a commend-able testament to the importance of securing funding for ourand our posterity’s education. Today’s rally is tangible evidencethat a voice united is much louder than eight individual univer-sities, and we encourage continued unity in the face of suchadversity.
The state government must choose how to spend its money,but it is important for students to let their legislatures know howmuch cuts to higher education will hurt them.
Frankfort rallyunites studentsfor a purpose
As a memberof the Student Sen-ate, it is my dutyto pinpoint issuesof concern on cam-pus and addressthem to the best ofmy abilities.
Two recentKentucky Kernelcolumns, and theonline commentsthat followed,show a major issueon campus is the
division between Greek and non-Greek students. This disunion hascreated an unhealthy campus atmos-phere that hinders UK’s goals.
Let me first say I do not intend toplace blame on a certain group forthis divide. I do not think the Greeksare solely responsible, nor do I thinkthis is completely the fault of thenon-Greeks. I believe we are allequally responsible for this divide.
Whether we started it or inheritedit from previous generations of stu-dents, we must be held accountablefor the animosity-filled atmospherethat exists. We are all at fault becausewe have done nothing to change it.
I also do not want to suggest thatthe Greek system should be disband-ed altogether so a Greek/non-Greekdivide would not have the chance toexist.
I think it is great that a studentcan come to UK and find an organi-zation that improves his or her col-lege experience. If that organization isGreek, then perfect. If that organiza-tion is non-Greek, then that is OK,too.
Rather than focusing on whether
Greeks or non-Greeks do more com-munity service or donate more moneyto charities, we should acknowledgethat UK students as a whole are mak-ing a difference in the world.
The Greeks were scolded in on-line comments for only donating“$29.10” per person. While thesenumbers may not be accurate, still$29 is better than nothing.
We, of course, have no statisticson how much each individual UKstudent donated to charity, but Iwould venture to guess that the aver-age would actually be much lowerthan $29.10 per person. However, asalready mentioned, Greek affiliationor lack thereof should not matter.
What should matter is the positiveeffect that UK students are having onhumanity.
We as students can do a lot tohelp this divide.
First and foremost, we need toevaluate the offensive language weuse carelessly. Pejorative terms like“sorostitute” and “GDI” have noplace on a college campus. Theybreed hatred, add distance betweenstudents and honestly reflect igno-rance. The aggressive dialogue in theonline comments is embarrassing toboth sides.
Second, we need to acknowledge
the countless benefits of all studentorganizations.
In the online comments, non-Greeks discredited the accomplish-ments of Greeks and vice-versa. Real-ly, we should recognize the merit ofboth side’s contributions.
Greek organizations do in fact logmany service hours and donate alarge amount of money to charity.Their accomplishments should not gounnoticed.
At the same time, many non-Greek organizations, including serv-ice and honors fraternities and theCenter for Community Outreach, alsodo a lot of community service anddonate to charity. The achievementsof these organizations should not beoverlooked either.
Finally, we need to realize that weare all the same. We are all UK stu-dents. We all bleed red (well, blue).We all have emotions and feelings.We all want to make a difference.
Something as silly as Greek ver-sus non-Greek affiliation should notdivide us. Instead, our desire to causechange in this world should bring ustogether.
I understand this column mightaccentuate the divide by bringing at-tention to it. However, I hope by ac-knowledging the problem, we cansolve it.
We have the opportunity to beknown as the generation that over-came the divide between Greeks andnon-Greeks. Let us make a differ-ence.

“We now can help them sur-vive the adjustment to collegefor their entire first year oncampus.”
Brummett said leaders getthe satisfaction of knowingthey have helped students tran-sition to college.
“The best thing a K Crewleader does is make a differ-ence in the lives of new UKstudents,” Brummett said inthe email.
Because of the commit-ment needed by applicants,candidates who are hired forthe positions must go throughtwo training sessions beforeK Week activities begin after
move-in in August.Brummett said a mandato-
ry retreat will be held on April15 for initial training.
The second training is theday before move-in during thefall semester, Ackermann said.
Michelle Ashcraft, assis-tant director of New Studentand Parent Programs, helpsBrummett and Ackermann co-ordinate K Week with the di-rect of the office.
“We are sophomoreheavy,” Ashcraft said. “That, Ithink, is because they have justexperienced freshman yeartheirselves and want to sort ofpass along any advice they didor didn’t receive.”
Ashcraft and Ackermannsaid returners do not get prior-ity over new applicants and
everyone is on an even playingfield when applying for a KCrew position.
Being a K Crew leader is agreat experience to get in aleadership position, Ashcraftsaid. She encourages all whoare interested to apply.
“The great thing about be-ing on K Crew is one, we havea lot of positions so it’s a fairlyeasy way of getting involvedon campus,” Ashcraft said.“It’s a great opportunity to sortof get your feet wet in a lead-ership experience.”

pered by the slow of the travelindustry, the study said.
The economic recessionhas influenced job availabilityin recent years.
The study reported that“unemployment rates are rela-tively low (5.4 percent) forrecent college students whomajored in health care and edu-cation because those majors areattached to stable or growingindustry sectors.”
However, availabilityisn’t the only factor thatvaries across majors.
In terms of earnings,those who major in subjectsrelated to technical, businessor health care fields make the
most, with engineering at thetop for recent and experi-enced college graduates, ac-cording to the study.
To combat unemploymentand help students develop acareer plan, the UK College ofArts and Sciences offers thecourse, “A&S 350: PersonalStrengths and CareerDevelopment.”
Gregory Bocchino, direc-tor of advising and studentservices for the College ,saidmany students have expressedgreat appreciation for thecourse and the realizationsabout their future it helpedbring.
The idea for the study,titled “Hard Times,” originat-ed during a discussion aboutthe current economic status ofthe country and world, said
Andrea Porter from theGeorgetown Center’s PublicRelations.
Director of Research JeffStrohl led the study, alongwith the Anthony Carnevale,the Center’s director, and ana-lyst Ban Cheah. Theresearchers are hopeful thattheir work will help studentsmake more informed deci-sions about their future profes-sional lives.
“It is important for us toprovide students with informa-tion that helps them link theircollege major to the labor mar-ket,” Porter said. “We hope thereport will help students un-derstand the realities in the la-bor market and learn about theskills that might make themmore employable upon gradu-ation.”

the experiences in their ownCreole language, since it’shard for them to leave a recordbecause most of them cannotwrite,” Popkin said
Payton hopes this projectwill help contribute to scholarsin the future.
“Although I can’t inter-view the people I want to learnabout from the past, I can try
to assure that future scholarswon’t have the same degree ofdifficulty accessing these voic-es from our present,” Paytonsaid.
The Nunn Center hopes totranslate the interviews in toEnglish for listeners to gain abetter understanding.
“It will have a great valueto the general public who isless inclined to speak Creole,”said Doug Boyd, the directorof the Nunn Center.
Boyd said the Nunn Cen-
ter is currently looking to usethe Oral History MetadataSynchronizer program to“connect text in transcripts tocorrelating moments in the au-dio or video,” making it easierfor users to enter keywordsearches in the interviews.
“(We are) leaders in get-ting oral history online in cool,exciting ways,” Boyd said.

When Anthony Davistook the court, 24,000posters with his depictionand his oustretched arms en-circled him in the Rupp Are-na seats.
“Indescribable, really,”Davis said. “I was laughing.I think ESPN was holding acamera on Marquis (Teague)and Doron (Lamb) sitting
down, and Marquis washolding the poster and thecamera was on it.”
The poster was modeledafter a famous Michael Jor-dan version — “the greatestbasketball player who’s everplayed,” said Davis, aChicago native — and tout-ed the freshman as a nation-al defensive player of theyear candidate.
But Davis said he wasn’tlooking as sharp as he want-ed.
“They threw it on me. Iwas going to get a hair cutand they said come to thegym, you got a photo shoot”
Davis said. “I was like,‘What?’”
Still, Davis (and prettymuch every UK fan) likedthe finished product. RuppArena workers started lay-ing the posters on seats at 8a.m., according to theCourier-Journal’s KyleTucker, and it seemed wellworth it.
If Davis hadn’t gottenone for himself by the timehe came out for post-gameinterviews after the game.
“Zero,” Davis said ofhow many he had scored,“but I guarantee they havesome for me.”
