4In an effort to promote schol-

arship in the Greek system, theorganizational GPA of fraterni-ties is being raised to a 3.0.

“We are trying to hold Greekmen to a higher standard,” UKInterfraternity Council Presi-dent Kelsie Willett said. “It willbring more legitimacy to ourcommunity, and it is somethingthat has needed to happen for along time.”

Keith Ellis, assistant directorof Fraternity and Sorority Affairsat UK and a fraternity adviser,said the change was approved onNov. 8, after a vote.

“From an adviser’s perspec-tive, I am proud of the guys forchallenging themselves and set-ting the expectation for member-ship to be improved,” Ellis said.

The change to the minimumorganizational GPA will be grad-ual. By the end of fall 2010, frater-nities must reach the all-male aver-

age GPA, which is currently a2.88. By the spring of 2011, frater-nities must have a 2.9 GPA. By thefall of 2011, fraternities must havea 2.95. And then by the spring of2012, all fraternities must have anorganizational GPA of a 3.0. In ad-dition to those requirements, a manpreparing to join a fraternity musthave a high school GPA of a 2.8before rushing.

“However, for chapters that makecontinuous improvement, we willgive you more time,” Willett said.

Dave Lowe, the Interfraterni-ty Council vice president andmember of Alpha Tau Omegafraternity, proposed the change.Lowe said the first semester afraternity does not fulfill the re-quirement, it must meet with El-lis and the national fraternity ad-viser. The second semester, thefraternity loses its Interfraternityvote and is under social proba-tion. The third semester, the fra-

UK pianist takes on Big AppleCarnegie-bound:

Terrence Jones’ game thrivesoverseas as well.

In the first round of the EASports Maui Invitational, Jonesprovided all the tropic beauty UKneeded to beat Oklahoma 76-64.

The freshman posted anothermonster stat line, recording 29points, 13 rebounds, three assistsand four blocks to push UK (3-0)past the Sooners (3-1).

For Oklahoma head coachJeff Capel, who recruited Jonesout of high school, it was a sighthe knew he might see.

“I thought Terrence Joneswas the best player in the coun-try,” Capel said. “I didn’t seeanyone who could have had animpact on a game like he could.He certainly did that today.”

UK head coach John Caliparitook a slightly more understatedapproach in assessing Jones’ per-formance, who tied for the sec-ond-most points by a freshman inUK history with his 29.

“He’s all right,” Calipari said,leaving the words hanging aseveryone waited for him to elab-orate. It didn’t come immediately,but a few questions later Calipariadded: “Today he was terrific.”

UK didn’t receive major con-tributions from many of the play-ers Calipari was hoping to seeturn in solid performances. JuniorDarius Miller scored five points,and centers Josh Harrelson andEloy Vargas combined for fourpoints and seven rebounds.

Still, Brandon Knight scored13 points, DeAndre Ligginsscored 12 points and added fiverebounds, and Doron Lambsparked the Cats with 10 first-half points off the bench. UKshot 50 percent from the floor asa team.

And with Jones making thekey plays down the stretch, it did-

n’t matter.“I loved him,” Capel said of

Jones, before he witnessed thefreshman carry UK to victory. “Ididn’t love him this afternoon.”

While Oklahoma never ledduring the game, it closed towithin five points after beingdown by as many as 18 in thesecond half. UK’s transition de-fense allowed Oklahoma to sliceto the basket for easy layups.

The test — UK’s first closegame of the season — was bene-ficial for the Cats.

“I was in the huddle tellingthem, ‘we need this,’” Calipari

A new sign was on the door to the Wild-cat Den in Commonwealth Stadium beforeUK’s weekly Monday morning news confer-ence.

It was fairly self-explanatory: “Beat Ten-nessee.”

However, defeating Tennessee (5-6, 2-5Southeastern Conference) is something thatthe Cats (6-5, 2-5 SEC) haven’t been ableto do since 1984, when UK head JokerPhillips played for the Cats and before anyplayers on the current roster were evenborn. Since that year, the Volunteers havewon 25 straight against their border rivalsto the North.

“You can’t say it’s just another game foreither party ... It’s a big game for both partiesinvolved,” Phillips said. “We’ve got a chanceto be 7-5, they’ve got a chance to be bowl el-igible. So it’s a big game.”

Still, Phillips downplayed the importanceof ending the streak in a season when UKhas already ended lengthy losing streaks,namely a 10-game losing streak to SouthCarolina and a 17-game losing streak toSteve Spurrier-coached teams.

“It’s the big one because it’s the nextone, I mean it’s as simple as that,” Phillipssaid. “We have stopped a couple (streaks)this year, and this is the biggest one now, be-cause it’s the next one. And that’s how we’reapproaching it.”

The one player most people would haveassumed to be most visibly passionate aboutSaturday’s game was junior wide receiverRandall Cobb, a native of Alcoa, Tenn.,which is nearby Knoxville.

Regardless of Cobb’s decision to poten-tially leave for the NFL following this sea-son, this game will be special because it willbe his last time playing in Neyland Stadiumin front of family and friends in a UK jersey.

Cobb was displaying his best poker faceon Monday and was carefully keeping hisemotions in check, calling the matchup withTennessee “just another game.”

“We can’t make it bigger than what it re-ally is, otherwise you’ll just think too muchand won’t play as good as you can,” Cobbsaid. “I’ve got a lot of emotion right now, butI can’t show it right now. I can’t let my team-mates see me too emotional, then they’ll get

Students do all sorts of thingswith their free time, whether it’splaying sports, joining clubs orpicking up a job. Ryan Quarles, a2005 graduate who was recentlyelected state representative forthe 62nd District of Kentucky’sGeneral Assembly, took moreclasses.

At 27, he is the first-ever Re-publican to win office in the his-

tory of Scott County. Quarles beat seven-term in-

cumbent Charlie Hoffman with51 percent of the popular vote.

The victory was a culmina-tion of many years of hard workfor Quarles.

Raised on a Kentucky tobac-co farm, Quarles was given achoice: either work on the farmor do well in school.

“It was an easy decision forme,” he said. “School was a pri-

ority from early on.”When Quarles arrived at

UK in 2002, he said he real-ized the school had “endlesspossibilities.” In no more thanfour years, Quarles completedthree undergraduate degrees inagriculture economics, publicservice and leadership, andpolitical science, graduatedsumma cum laude with hon-ors and attained two mastersdegrees in economics and

diplomacy. To do this, Quarles took up to

27 credit hours a semester andmanaged to stay on the Dean’sList each term.

In 2008, Quarles received theZuckerman Fellowship, grantinghim a full ride to Harvard Uni-versity, where he received a mas-ters in higher education.

He recently graduated fromthe UK College of Law, as well.

According to Webster’s dictionary, “bur-lesque” is either a form of literary satire or “atheatrical entertainment” consisting of “shortturns, comic skits and sometimes stripteaseacts.” It is also a verb (“to imitate in a humor-ous or derisive manner”). Webster’s entrydoesn’t mention yet that it is also a movie.

Someday, perhaps: “Burlesque,” openingWednesday, stars the dynamic duo of Cher andChristina Aguilera as the two ends of the time-space pop-star continuum: Ex-dancer Tess(Cher) is the struggling owner of Los Angeles’imperiled Burlesque Lounge, a place undersiege by speculative big-business types and itsown staff’s imbroglios; Ali (Aguilera) is thebig-voiced small-town wannabe who’s goingto save the joint, come hell or high notes (theidea that audiences will buy Aguilera as asmall-town anything seems something of aleap, but, hey).

By virtue of casting, “Burlesque” enters ahallowed tradition: the making of the pop idolinto the movie star. OK, “star” isn’t always thecase, but Aguilera should take comfort fromhistory: It isn’t all that bleak.

THE GOODThe most successful pop-screen transi-

tions, though, have been by people now sosuccessful on screen that the public has almostforgotten they were musicians to begin withWill Smith, say, or Queen Latifah. MarkWahlberg has done well for himself (in “TheDeparted,” if not “The Happening”). Erstwhilerapper Ice-T, who now spends his time huffingand puffing around “Law & Order: SVU,” de-livered a startling series of performances in theearly ‘90s (“New Jack City,” “Ricochet,”“Trespass”) and immediately went from “rap-

per-actor” to “actor.” LL Kool J. Mos Def.The hip-hop scene has been a fertile one forHollywood.

THE BADWho comes immediately to mind? Mariah

Carey, unfortunately, who despite seriouscompetition still seems to be a contender, with“Glitter.” But she really redeemed herself with“Precious” last year.

But when you come right down to it, TheKing of Rock and Roll is also the reigningmonarch of bad movies: Elvis Presley made33 feature films, all but two (“King Creole”and “Jailhouse Rock”) are virtually unwatch-able, other than by his most rabidly partisanfans. Not that it was entirely his fault: As jour-nalist Alanna Nash recounted in “TheColonel,” her 2003 biography of Presley’smanager, Col. Tom Parker, the singer alwayswanted to make more serious films. He was anadmirer of contemporaries such as JamesDean and Marlon Brando, and wanted to emu-late them. But he was cattle-prodded by theSvengali-like Parker into a series of featuresso paralyzingly formulaic and stilted they havetheir own category Elvis Movies. When youconsider both badness and output, no one elsecomes close.

THE UNSPEAKABLY UGLYThey really need no further explanation:

Britney Spears in “Crossroads”; Vanilla Ice in“Cool as Ice”; Kelly Clarkson in “From Justinto Kelly”; all the Spice Girls in “SpiceWorld”; Jennifer Lopez in “Enough.”

Sometimes it’s the fault of the movies.And sometimes, it’s not.

You are getting very sleepy…Sleep: a naturally recurring state of rela-

tively suspended sensory and motor activity,characterized by total or partial unconscious-

ness and the inactivity ofnearly all voluntary mus-cles.

This may be a foreignconcept to some students –with that loud roommatecoming in at all hours, thepaper due tomorrow or theparty that just kept rolling.

“Sleep is not only im-portant for having good en-ergy during the day, butalso for concentration,

weight management and safety,” said Dr.Mohammad Motalib of the UK UniversityHealth Service. “Many car accidents can beattributed to drowsy drivers. Also, there isgood research to show that people who getadequate sleep are better able to maintaintheir weight.”

Dr. Motalib suggests getting seven toeight hours of sleep each night in order getthe rest and recovery that your body needs.Unfortunately, it doesn’t work to add upnighttime sleep with naps. And no, you can’t“catch up” on the weekends.

Sleep problems can stem from stress,medications and physical ailments, just toname a few. If your lack of sleep or inabilityto sleep is persistent and bothersome, con-sult a clinician who can help.

Here are a few tips from the Academy ofSleep Medicine. For busy college students,this may seem like a daunting list, but try toincorporate at least a few into your sleeproutine.

1. Get up at the same time every morn-ing.

2. Get a full night’s sleep on a regularbasis. That’s typically seven to eight hours.

3. Avoid taking naps if you can. If youmust take a nap, try to keep it short (lessthan one hour).

4. Keep a regular schedule. Regulartimes for meals, medications, chores, andother activities help keep the inner bodyclock running smoothly.

5. Don’t read, write, eat, watch TV, talkon the phone or play cards in bed.

6. Do not have any caffeine afterlunch.

7. Do not have a beer, a glass of wineor any other alcohol within six hours of yourbedtime.

8. Do not have a cigarette or any othersource of nicotine before bedtime.

9. Do not go to bed hungry, but don’teat a big meal near bedtime either.

10. Avoid any tough exercise within sixhours of your bedtime.

11. Avoid sleeping pills, or use themcautiously. Most doctors do not prescribesleeping pills for periods of more than threeweeks. Do not drink alcohol while takingsleeping pills.

12. Make your bedroom quiet, dark, anda little bit cool. It should remind you of acave. While this may not sound romantic, itseems to work for bats. Bats are championsleepers.

13. Don’t go to bed unless you aresleepy. If you are not sleepy at bedtime, thendo something else. Read a book, listen tosoft music or browse through a magazine.Find something relaxing, but not stimulat-ing.

14. If you are not asleep after 20 min-utes, then get out of the bed. Find somethingelse to do that will make you feel relaxed. Ifyou can, do this in another room. Once youfeel sleepy again, go back to bed.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” – or try, and face the consequences.In case you haven’t heard, the NFL is seriously considering changing the current 16

game regular season schedule and extending it to 18 games. The change would be effectivenext year and for years to come.

The potential move could be costly for the NFL, mainly because it could adversely af-fect fan interest. It gives more chances for injuries and changes pre-season preparation, aswell.

The NFL, at least for now, differentiates itself from all other professional sports leagues.What makes the NFL great is what makes other professional sports seasons prolonged andmeaningless until the final weeks of the season when games actually matter: the schedule.

It’s no secret that NFL receives higher TV ratings than other professional sports, whichprobably has to do with having a higher demand per game because of the shorter schedule.With a shorter schedule than other professional sports leagues, each game in the NFL is sig-nificant. Extending the schedule only lowers the significance of each game which, in turn,could result in lost interest.

By potentially adding two more games to the season, the NFL is risking significant in-creases in the number of potential injuries, which already play an exceptionally major rolein the status quo. As result, by the time that the playoffs finally come around — which aresupposed to be reserved for the most consistent teams that play the highest quality of foot-ball throughout the year — the class of football won’t be as high.

The NFL’s new proposal also cuts the preseason from four games to two. In cutting thepreseason in half, teams have less time to evaluate the depth of talent on their team and lesstime to get starters reacquainted after a long offseason.

This creates a paradox. Do you want your backups to get valuable playing time in casean injury occurs and they have to play, or do you want to get your starters the majority ofplaying time and risk having unprepared backups?

The irony is that with an 18-game season, more injuries are likely to occur, but theshorter preseason probably won’t allow backups to be fully prepared to step in for injuredplayers. Only playing two preseason games doesn’t allow much mixing of the two.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming offseason. The NFL and theNational Football League Players Association are currently in discussions about a new col-lective bargaining agreement; both include an 18-game schedule. The leagues current collec-tive bargaining agreement expires in March.

The NFL is potentially taking a big gamble that isn’t necessarily called for. Only timewill tell the degree of the payoff.

“The Greek community at UK is in a stateof change,” Lowe said. “We want to make surewe are being a valuable member of the com-munity and giving back. When people joinGreek organizations, you make a promise tohold yourself accountable. We want to takethat commitment seriously.”

In addition to the GPA requirement changes,edits were also made to the benefits associatedwith high achieving chapters. If an organizationreaches a GPA of 3.2, it will receive a $75 re-duction in IFC dues, up from what used to be a$50 reduction. If the GPA is 3.3, it will receive a$125 reduction, up from $100. If the GPA is 3.4,it will receive a $275 reduction, up from $250.

“Anything we can do to help guys becomemore focused is a good thing,” Willett said.“This is the right direction. We want to holdfraternities to a higher standard.”

overhyped and overthink everything.”Some of Cobb’s teammates weren’t as

coy about their desire to end the losingstreak.

“Our program has progressed and Ithink it’s time for us to not be associatedwith a 25-year losing streak,” junior corner-back Anthony Mosley said.

Phillips said he is never worried aboutCobb’s approach entering a game.

“Whatever approach (Cobb) takes, Iwish all of them took because he comes toplay every week,” Phillips said. “I like hisapproach, because he’ll be ready to play.We know that.”

Cobb said “the game has a lot of impli-cations,” but more so from a team perspec-tive as opposed to an individual perspec-tive.

When pressed by reporters to showhis emotion, Cobb repeated: “It’s just an-other game.”

“I have to credit my suc-cess to my advisers — espe-cially Lori Garkovich,”Quarles said. “She was in-strumental in helping me towin the Truman Scholar-ship.”

The Truman Scholarshipis given each year to 65 col-lege juniors nationwide.Quarles was awarded$30,000 to pursue graduatework in the area of publicservice.

Since finishing school,Quarles maintained his workethic.

“While I was at Harvardand UK Law School, I startedthinking about what I wantedto do with my life,” he said.“I decided I wanted to giveback to the Commonwealthof Kentucky, which had al-ready given me so much.”

Having already served

two consecutive terms as acouncil member on the Ken-tucky Council on Postsec-ondary Education, Quarlesdecided to run for state repre-sentative a little more than ayear ago.

Though he had workedwith many campaigns inyears past, he said running hisown was unlike anything he’dever experienced.

“There’s nothing like ac-tually having your name onthe ballot and experiencingthe pure exhaustion fromrunning your own cam-paign,” he said.

Quarles lost 15 poundsduring his campaign.

“I’m just now gettingcaught up on sleep, I think,”he said.

All his efforts provedworthwhile, though, as hepulled off an upset by justmore than 300 votes — a 2.3percent margin of victory.

“I was just happy thatpeople didn’t hold my ageagainst me,” Quarles said.

“In many cases, voters whowanted change thought [myage] was an asset.”

Quarles will take officein January. He hopes to “re-form how our governmentworks, making it more trans-parent and more account-able.”

Quarles said he wants tomake all government expen-ditures available to the publicby putting them online.

As for his agenda,Quarles said he would liketo work towards better edu-cation in the Common-wealth.

“I hope to develop a nichein education reform in Ken-tucky,” he said.

Quarles encourages stu-dent input regarding the is-sue.

“I’m one of you guysstill. I want to hear fromyou, the students,” he said.

Seunghee Lee’s motherfirst noticed her daughter’stalent when she was 5.

“She said that I tried tofind the melody and accom-paniment parts by ear afterhearing music from kinder-garten,” Lee said. “I would siton the piano bench, guess andthen play it.”

All that “ear” work haspaid off. Lee, now a pianoperformance doctoral candi-date at UK, will perform atCarnegie Hall in New YorkCity on Dec. 1.

Originally from Seoul,South Korea, Lee, 32, movedto the U.S. in 2002. Sheearned her masters degree inpiano performance from OhioUniversity.

“I think my musical talentis from my family,” Lee said.“My grandfather wrote plays.My sister is a composer andmy aunt is a professor ofvoice.”

Lee said her parents andhusband have most influ-enced her career.

“I loved to play mywhole life, but I had a hardtime because I was so busystudying general courses be-fore college,” Lee said.“Whenever I needed to bal-ance between piano andstudying, my parents encour-aged me. They’re alwaysready to listen to what I’mfeeling. My parents, especial-ly my mom, have cried withme over the phone since Icame to the U.S. because ofhomesickness, culture shock,language difficulties, studyburdens and performing un-der pressure.”

Lee married another posi-tive influence, Youngsub Oh,in 2007.

“My husband is doingpart of my parents’ job, butmore practical and physical:cooking, giving massages,

recording concerts, makingposters and advertising,” Leesaid. “He lets me focus on pi-ano during my doctoral stud-ies.”

“Two teachers encour-aged my talent, Dr. Eckes atOhio University and Dr. Voroat UK. Dr. Eckes gave me theopportunity to study in theU.S. by offering the scholar-ship and encouraging me toprepare for competitions inthe U.S. and Italy. She tookme from South Korea to theglobal stage. Dr. Voro is agreat teacher and excellentperformer. Every lesson withher is a gift, a journey into adifferent world; exciting, in-spiring and endlessly cre-ative,” she said.

Lee said her internationaldebut was in 2003, when shewas a winner of the Interna-tional Concerto Competitionat the Festival of Music inLaguna, Italy. She remainsnonpulsed by her win.

“The fact that I won is notsignificant,” Lee said. “I wasso interested, but had very lit-tle time to prepare. I appliedand began to prepare, I hadthree weeks. I was passionate,on fire, crazy about learning anew piece.”

Some of Lee’s other acco-lades include the OutstandingMember Award and GraduateAchievement Award in Per-

formance at Ohio University,and successes at the OhioUniversity Concerto Compe-tition and the UK SymphonyOrchestra Concerto Competi-tion.

“When I have competi-tions, I try to focus on play-ing,” Lee said. “I also imag-ine the stages, research thecomposer’s life, listen torecordings and practiceendlessly. I devote myselfto the music. I am morepassionate about music thancompetition.”

Amy Papp, a dieteticsjunior and a friend of Lee,attributed Lee’s talent to ef-fort and keen perception.

“Seunghee is very dedi-cated and hard-working,”Papp said. “She is also atten-tive and perceptive in her re-lationships with others,which manifests itself in herplaying through the intimacywhich she establishes withthe music and her thoroughknowledge of the technicaland musical qualities of herpieces.”

Lee’s upcoming perform-ance at Carnegie Hall marksan important moment in hermusical career.

“It is absolutely honor-able in my life,” Lee said. “Iam really excited to playthere and meet the New Yorkaudience.”

Jones was the one making the plays. He keptpouring in baskets and made two critical blocksdown the stretch.

On one possession, Jones ripped down a re-bound, galloped the length of the floor with theball in his hands on the fast break and zipped apass to Harrellson for a layup that extended thelead to 13 with less than five minutes to play.

“I saw Josh running the floor hard, and I justwanted to hit him,” Jones said.

Calipari was relayed Capel’s statement thatJones was the best player in the nation.

“Today,” Calipari said. “Today he was.”
