ksaltz@kykernel.com

After four rounds of open forums, anoth-er step has been taken in fill-ing the role of vice presidentfor Student Affairs.

Provost Kumble Sub-baswamy said in an e-mail tothe Kernel that he has invitedRobert Mock Jr. back to cam-pus to discuss negotiationsfor the job.

Although nothing is finalized, Sub-

baswamy said in a separate e-mail that Mockhas the “background, energy, enthusiasm,and innovative thinking necessary to leadStudent Affairs at this challenging time.”

Mock serves as the associate viceprovost of Student Affairs at the Universityof Arkansas at Fayetteville, and was the finalcandidate to appear in the open forums. Theonly candidate to hail from a fellow South-eastern Conference school, Mock said at theforum he felt he would be a “good fit” atUK.

Some key factors Mock highlighted inhis campus appearance were his experience

of dealing with a tobacco ban, his involve-ment with the Greek community and his

stance on alcohol use in correlation to a suc-cessful athletic season.

Subbaswamy said an offer has not beenofficially extended but this is a meeting todiscuss the job further.

“I am glad Dr. Mock remains interestedin the position of vice president of StudentAffairs at the University of Kentucky,”Subbaswamy said. “Although an offer hasnot been extended at this time, I have invit-ed Dr. Mock for a second visit to campusto conduct further discussions about the po-sition. An announcement will be forthcom-ing when negotiations are finalized.”

KUMBLE SUBBASWAMYUK Provost

Students walking onUK’s campus often findthemselves at the mercy ofcars racing by, and many justdo not care.

Jaywalking has been aproblem on UK’s campus foryears, but solutions to theproblem are few and far be-tween.

“Part of the problem is notjust students, but employeesalso,” said UK Police ChiefJoe Monroe. “They need to beaware of their surroundings. Itseems basic, but they need tomake sure the cars are actual-

ly stopped before they stepout in the traffic.”

Monroe said Rose Streetat least provides a medianfor people crossing the streetto pause in. In contrast,Limestone Avenue is a muchwider road.

“If you look at Lime-stone, you’re trying to crossfive lanes of traffic.” Monroesaid. “They’re trying to dostudies to find out whatwould be the best way toslow (traffic) down andmake it more pedestrian-friendly.”

Groups break down self-image issues

By Ashley Beckhamnews@kykernel.com

As weight-loss realityshows and exercise equip-ment infomercials take overAmerica’s television sets,some young people take themessage to the extreme.

The UK UniversityHealth Services, Counselingand Testing Center and Stu-dent Health Advisory Councilcame together to raise aware-ness this past week for Na-tional Eating Disorder Aware-ness Week.

Raising awareness aboutbody-image issues amongcollege-age women is impor-tant, said Panhellenic Presi-

dent Catherine Chin, becauseeating disorders are usuallypushed to the background ofconcerns in our country.

“The subject is often dis-carded because it is hard topitch the idea in an effectiveway to a large audience,”Chin said. “We really need toget the word out and try tomake the topic more effectiveto all.”

Emelie Taylor, director ofcorrespondence for DeltaGamma sorority, said thisweek’s focus hit home withher family. Taylor’s youngersister, currently a senior inhigh school, suffered from se-vere anorexia nervosa and hasbeen in and out of hospitalsfor three years.

Taylor, a sociology junior,said watching her sister battlean eating disorder made her

Dog studies show self-controlmay negatively affect test scores

By Fink Densfordnews@kykernel.com

Dogs may have something to tell UK stu-dents about how to do better on tests.

Holly Miller, a psychology graduate student,is studying how exerting self-control in dogs mayhave a negative impact on other activities, suchas test taking.

Kristina Pattison, another graduate studentworking on the study, said dogs and humansmost likely use glucose storage in their brainswhile exhibiting self-control, which lowers theirability to persist and perform on activities andtests.

“If you go on a diet and you are self-regulat-

ing what you eat, you may find that you don’thave the mental resources necessary to do yourbest on tests in school,” Miller said.

Miller said this research may prove that be-haviors adopted during stressful times like examscause a person to perform poorly.

“I’m not suggesting that people avoid dieting,but I am suggesting that people do not start ex-treme diets in the middle of finals week,” shesaid.

Miller is part of psychology professorThomas Zentall’s comparative cognition lab inthe Department of Psychology. The lab has beenrunning for over a decade, studying how animalsthink to better understand how people think.

UK 82, SOUTH CAROLINA 61

PHOTO BY ALLIE GARZA | STAFFJunoir forward Patrick Patterson goes in for a layup on Thursday night against South Carolina at Rupp Arena. Patterson had 23 points andeight rebounds to lead the Cats to an 82-61 victory over the Gamecocks.

Revenge servedCats defeat Gamecocks for first time since 2007

By Metz Camfieldmcamfield@kykernel.com

If revenge is a dish best served cold, the UK men’s bas-ketball team (27-1, 12-1 Southeastern Conference) handedout a frigid serving on Thursday night.

After dropping their first and only game of the season toSouth Carolina on Jan. 26, the Cats came out storming fromthe gate and defeated the Gamecocks 82-61.

From the opening 3-pointer of the game to the finalbuzzer, junior forward Patrick Patterson was everywhere forthe Cats. En route to shooting 10-12 from the field, Pattersonpoured in 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds in leadingthe young Cats to victory.

UK jumped out to a quick 11-2 lead on the visitingGamecocks, and pandemonium filled Rupp Arena with everybounce of the ball. The Gamecocks wouldn’t go down easythough, and cut the lead to one before star senior guard De-van Downey picked up his second foul of the half.

"I'm so proud of (Patterson) and what he's doing, but weneed him to be this," UK head coach John Calipari said."This is what he needs to be. I'd like him to get 25 (points)and 12 (rebounds) every night out. Shoot the ball, man."

With Downey out, the Cats rolled off a 5-0 run forcingSouth Carolina head coach Darrin Horn into a timeout.Downey returned out of the timeout, and helped get the leadback down to two before UK rattled off a 14-2 run. The halfwas closed by a long range 3-pointer from Downey to makethe score 37-26.

A 7-0 run in a 3:27 span cut the UK lead to six points at46-40, and forced Calipari to regroup in a timeout. TheGamecocks had seven second-chance points in the opening

Patterson comes alive when it matters most

With the first shot of the game, junior forward PatrickPatterson made his message clear — this is his team nowand he will do everything he can to make sure the Cats

aren’t going to lose again anytime soon.At least, that’s what he showed Rupp

Arena on Thursday night. Facing a still-pesky South Carolina team that refused toroll over and give UK its revenge without afight, Patterson rebounded, scored, blockedshots and stole the ball left and right.

Consider this: if a UK player missed ashot, it was usually Patterson who was therefor the rebound and the put-back shot. Onone occasion, a South Carolina playerfalling out of bounds dished it straight to thebig man, who got an easy dunk out of it.Even luck was in Patterson’s corner.

That wasn’t the only moment for Patterson, who led theCats in scoring. When’s the last time that happened?

Thursday night was just another instance of Pattersonstepping up his presence. On a team that’s been carried byfreshmen for the first two-thirds of the season, it will takethe eldest starter doing everything it takes to carry the Catsthe final one-third.

“We need him to be this,” UK head coach John Caliparisaid. “I want him to get 25 and 12 every night out. Shoot theball, man … I’m proud of what he’s doing.”

Not that the idea is new to Patterson. He’s carried UKthe last two seasons. But it’s new to this season.

When Devan Downey drove to the basket or dished to ateammate at the last second, it was Patterson going up to chal-lenge (and usually block) the shot. He hustled down the floor

Heartbroken by the disappointing box-office grossesof his last film, "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," filmmakerKevin Smith a smart, shrewd storyteller who has compen-sated for his lack of cinematic flair with a sharp and hi-lariously vulgar wit decided to do something new: Puthimself on the market as a director for hire.

The result, "Cop Out," is the first film Smith has di-rected that he didn't write. It also is, without question,the worst picture he has made — a soulless, witless,landfill contraption that Smith once would have mockedmercilessly.

"Cop Out" is a straight-faced parody of 1980s cop-buddy pictures, complete with a cheesy synth score by"Beverly Hills Cop's" Harold Faltermeyer. But making funof such a tired genre is as redundant as a stand-up com-ic's doing an Andrew Dice Clay impersonation. The funnysimply is not there.

The plot centers on a pair of veteran NYPD copsplayed by Bruce Willis, more engaging on TV talk showsthan he is here, and Tracy Morgan, so devoid of screenpresence you wonder if "30 Rock" was just an accident.On their ninth anniversary as partners, the pair run afoulof a gang of Latino baddies who are portrayed in such astereotypically racist manner you feel magically teleport-ed back into one of those Steven Seagal movies in whichvillains were defined primarily by ethnicity.

Maybe that impression was the point, but it isn't fun-ny. For much of "Cop Out," Smith's usually astute sense ofhumor is thrown off course. An early scene in which Mor-gan interrogates a suspect by quoting famous lines fromother movies is amusing in concept, but Smith uses somany zoom shots and close-ups that the sequence justcomes off as noisy and shrill. Having a Mexican immigrant(Ana de la Reguera) be unable to tell the difference be-tween "Hi" and "Bye" just makes her seem mentally im-paired, and the gag is repeated so often you start wishingthe bad guys would bump her off.

The only truly funny bits in "Cop Out" which feel ei-ther improvised or bear Smith's distinct writing stampcome courtesy of Seann William Scott as an acrobaticthief who has an uncontrollable compulsion for mockingother people, even when he's sitting in the back of a po-lice car on his way to jail. Scott, an underrated actor,brings a jolt of energy, but his role is a minor one.

The rest of the film, which affords Smith his largestbudget to date and proves he has no business shootingelaborate action sequences, is just dead air. "Cop Out"was originally titled "A Couple of Dicks," until TV net-works refused to air ads for a film with that title before 9p.m. "Sell Out" would have been a more honest title.

‘Sell Out’ more fitting for ‘Cop Out’

There are plenty of ways to measurethe impact a university is having on theoutside world.

Geography professor Stan Brunn’s tripto Tajikistan this week won’t show upwhen UK measures how far it has comeaccording to the top-20 plan, but his tripwill deliver results beyond the traditionalsort.

By helping to monitor the parliamen-tary elections in the former Soviet repub-lic, Brunn is ensuring his students will beable to learn about an experience like noother, while at the same time performing aservice to the people of Tajikistan.

It’s a nice story; the kind that can en-rich a college campus in a way few thingscan. Having professors with experienceslike this is what can engage students in theclassroom and show them the real-worldapplications to what they’re learning.

“When he comes back, (Brunn) willhave some great stories to tell about howyou get democracy going,” said UK geog-

raphy chairwoman Susan Roberts in a Feb.21 Kernel article.

Brunn may be playing a small part inbringing democracy to Tajikistan, and hisimpact on UK’s community may be mini-mal. After all, he’s just one professor. Butthere are more important things than mak-ing sure UK measures up as a top-20 uni-versity.

If students aren’t learning and profes-sors aren’t applying themselves outside ofthe university community, a ranking does-n’t mean anything.

Beyond just having great stories to tellhis students, Brunn is also fulfilling ahigher obligation by helping to bringdemocracy to a place that lacked it for solong. Professors that can use their knowl-edge to help the world around them aredoing a good job of sharing what they’vespent a lifetime learning, and that’s themost important thing they can do.

Even if it doesn’t show up in the top-20 plan, having professors like Brunn takeon projects like this should be just as im-portant to the university as any number orranking.

Professor’s dedication key in achieving UK’s goals

the Great Teacher AwardCommittee and OmicronDelta Kappa, an honor soci-ety for students.

One of this year’s win-ners, history professor TracyCampbell, was nominatedby secondary social studiessenior Kimberly Hogue.Hogue said initially she did-n’t think about nominatingany teacher for the award,but Campbell changed hermind.

“The nomination doestake some time and requireseffort,” Hogue said. “I hadreceived the e-mail to nomi-nate a professor and simplyignored it. But the longer Ithought about it, the more Iknew (Campbell) deservedit.”

Campbell credits histeaching ability to the les-sons he received when hewas a UK student. He said

as a freshman he was unsureof what to pursue as a ca-reer, but his professors in-spired him with a passion forhistory.

“I was deeply apprecia-tive that students took thetime to fill out a lengthynomination form,” Campbellsaid. “I am a UK alum andcame here without a clue asto what I was going to study.Because of some remarkableand dynamic instructors, Iknew after a month of enter-ing my freshman U.S. histo-ry class what I wanted to dowith my life.”

Just like Campbell’steachers made an impact on

him during his undergradu-ate career, his students saythe same about him. Hoguesaid she is confident in hercareer choice because ofprofessors like Campbellwho love what they do.

“I think what defines agreat teacher is making astudent interested in a topicthat they were uninterestedin prior ... (Campbell) re-minded me why I wanted tobe a teacher, and why I lovehistory,” Hogue said.

Since the award was es-tablished in 1961, 241 facul-ty members have been hon-ored by the Alumni Associa-tion. In order to qualify, aprofessor must have the titleof assistant professor orhigher and have held that forat least three years at UK,have superior knowledge oftheir subject, present class-room material in originalways, show concern for stu-dents both in and out of theclassroom and have not re-ceived the award in the past10 years.

safety but to correctly simulate the actualwater environment.

A successful wakeboarding run dependsheavily on the environment, but there are nu-merous factors of the physical world that gointo a single run, Steiner said.

“There have been plenty of times that Ihave climbed into the boat, thrown my boarddown and thought I would never ride again,”

VanMeter said. “But you get through it, likeanything challenging. You have great days,and you have days that feel like it is yourfirst time on the water. It is just important tonever give up.”

Like few other sports, the collegiatewakeboarding season is broken up into twosegments — the first portion being fromMarch to late fall and the second being from

early spring to October. After winning theEastern Regional Qualifier competition atTaylorsville Lake last October, the team isnow seeded second for the national competi-tion on May 16 in San Diego. UK is lookingforward to a time to showcase its skills andperform well in front of a vast audience ofprofessional riders.

As the team prepares to gear up for the

continuing season, VanMeter and Steiner mustpersist on following their passion for the sportand leading their team members by remem-bering their initial zeal for wakeboarding.

“There is no better feeling than when thewater is completely calm and you can seeyour reflection like you’re looking at a sheetof glass,” VanMeter said. “It is like you areall alone. It is very personal.”

Megan VanMeter suffered a brutal concussion and a separated shoulder within days of each other.But neither injury could keep her from returning to the sport that caused them. Cameron Steiner en-dured multiple concussions and an emergency room visit throughout his young career in thesport he loves. VanMeter and Steiner have fallen victim to an identical, yet sometimespainful passion: wakeboarding.

VanMeter, wakeboarding club president, and Steiner discovered their fervor for thesport early in life. VanMeter, a journalism sophomore, took up the sport at age 15 afterwatching her father ride recreationally while on family trips to Taylorsville Lake inSpencer County, Ky.

“Even though wakeboarding was originally such a family-oriented sportfor me, I now have motivation to push the envelope as an individual,”VanMeter said. “Being one of the few women competing in thissport, I always feel like I have something to prove to the guys.”

Steiner was primarily interested in skiing as a child. Hedecided to attempt his first wakeboarding session at age11 and began competing at 14. He has been involvedwith the sport ever since. Last summer he won firstplace in the men’s advanced division at theGrassroots Nationals, which he said is theproudest moment of his career to this point.

“Wakeboarding gives me a tremendouschance to express myself,” Steiner said.“I have met a ton of great people andwe always have such a great time.”

Wakeboarding combines waterskiing, surfing and snowboarding.Competitors grasp a cable attachedto the rear of a motorboat and aretowed at speeds from approximately18 to 26 miles per hour. The athlete isbound to a buoyant board, resemblinga surfboard, as he or she attempts tocomplete jumps, tricks and stunts usingthe wakes created by the motorboat.

Practice regimens for the club typicallyinclude group trips to Taylorsville Lake. Oth-er means of practice include performing trickson a trampoline with a flexible board to ensure

The lab primarily researches with pigeons, Millersaid, though it has researched chimpanzees, horses,rats and humans in the past. The lab has been focusingon dogs for research for three years.

“Dogs are often good models for human behaviorand development,” Miller said.

Zentall, director of the lab, said by studying howanimals act and behave and finding similarities to hu-mans, researchers are able to understand the basicsbehind what causes these behaviors.

“If you’re looking at something that appears com-plex, if you can simplify it, you can get a better under-standing of the process,” Zentall said. “Humans cometo tests expecting certain things. Animals have no ex-perience, so it simplifies the tests.”

Miller and Pattison are next planning an experi-ment to study how glucose and self-control affectdogs’ and humans’ memories.

more aware than the averageperson of the damage it cancause.

“Having lived with my littlesister throughout has made my-self, as well as my family, growstronger as a unit, and havingdone so I have gained a betterunderstanding of myself andother people,” Taylor said.

Taylor attended DePaul

University in Chicago until thefall of 2009. But she left De-Paul, transferring to UK, be-cause of the severity of her sis-ter’s illness.

Taylor’s sister began herdisorder early in her sophomoreyear of high school. Her siblingwas a strong soccer player, withthe chance of a bright future inthe sport ahead of her.

“She weighed 128 pounds,and within three months shedropped to 87 pounds,” Taylorsaid.

Things went downhill fromthere, Taylor said. Her sister

was in and out of therapy andhospitalization. She sufferedstarting with anorexia and thenbulimia.

“It caused her liver to fail,”Taylor said. “She then was di-agnosed with rheumatoid arthri-tis and hepatitis.”

Although the desire to bephysically fit may have sparkedthe disorder, Taylor believes themedia plays a role in givingyoung women unrealistic stan-dards of body image.

“The media and societalideas definitely played a part inmy sister’s image,” she said. “It

was like a strive for perfection.”Jill Kindly, a UHS dietitian

and sponsor for AwarenessWeek, said weight loss inAmerica is tied to the stereo-type of beauty as portrayed inthe media.

“Culture does have an ex-treme makeover mentality to anidea of an image, which doesconstantly change,” Kindlysaid. “I want people to learn toaccept their body and under-stand we all have dissimilar ge-netic make-up, making usunique. If we all were the same,we would be boring.”

DISORDERSContinued from page 1

7:07 of the second half after not gettinga single second-chance point in the en-tire first half. The Gamecocks wouldfinish the game with 15 second-chancepoints to UK’s 23.

"What I wanted to see is, have wegotten better?" Calipari said. "... Theyplayed hard. I think they played the waythey had to play. They didn't make theshots they made down in South Carolina,but we also played better offensively.”

South Carolina wouldn’t get closerthan six points the rest of the way, asUK, the tallest team in the country, useda heavy dosage of Patterson and fresh-man forward DeMarcus Cousins tophysically overpower South Carolinadown low.

After being outrebounded by four intheir first meeting on Jan. 26, the Catsdominated the Gamecocks down low

from beginning to end. Three UK play-ers registered eight or more rebounds,and UK won the rebounding battle 47-31. Cousins finished with 19 points and11 rebounds while picking up only twofouls.

"This is kind of like the dog days ofthe season," Calipari said. "... Let's geton with that other tournament. And I'mnot talking about the one in Nashville.Let's get on with that other tourna-ment."

BASKETBALLContinued from page 1

and when the Cats weren’t onthe fast break, usually startedup the offense.

John Wall is still going tobe the legend he is. DeMarcusCousins will still be dominantin the paint. That won’tchange, but this team will liveand die off Patterson.

“When you have Patrickplaying the way he’s playing,it takes the heat off everyoneelse,” Calipari said.

Pressed for clarification,Calipari said the Patterson isthe difference between ablowout and a buzzer beater.

“There’s going to be agap in the scoring (withoutPatterson), it’s going to be a2-point game where a kid hasto make a shot on national

television,” Calipari said.“Now it’s a 15 point game(with Patterson).”

Need further proof?To start the second half,

Patterson grabbed a defensiverebound, hustled down thefloor and tried to rebound aCousins miss. When the Catsretained possession, it was Pat-terson who got the ball downlow and laid the ball in for thefirst points of the second half.

When a guy scores ateam’s first points of eachhalf, he matters.

The more games Patter-son has like the one he hadThursday night, the more UKlooks like a definite FinalFour team.

A trip to Indianapolis —sounds like something to real-ly crow about.

ly surveyed, 18 said they jaywalk “all thetime” on UK’s campus. Some said jay-walking is essential to getting aroundcampus in a timely manner. A few hadfriends who had been hit by cars before,but they continue to jaywalk.

Only five of the students surveyedsaid they jaywalk occasionally, but not of-ten. Two students said they never jaywalk.

UK students often said a frequentproblem occurs when pedestrians crossthe street at intersections when the lightssay they should not walk, but they alsosaid more crosswalks would slow downtraffic and cause more harm than good.

“I think if (pedestrians) followed thelights that say when they can walk, (thesituation) would be a lot better,” said

gender and women’s studies juniorAlyssa McKenzie. “A lot of times, theydon’t see cars coming and they just walk.

They’re in a rush, but so are the peoplewho are driving.”

Monroe said people on or aroundcampus are trying to get to their destina-tions in the shortest amount of time pos-sible, so they cross wherever necessary.

“You have an open sidewalk, so peo-ple, as a matter of habit, always take theshortest route to somewhere,” he said.“Some of the things they’re looking atfor the project downtown is to installbushes or some kind of curb appeal todirect pedestrians toward the cross-walk.”

Monroe said while pedestrian-vehicleaccidents occur periodically, they are notan everyday occurrence.

People on campus can be cited forjaywalking, Monroe said, but it is not ahigh priority unless it becomes an issuein a certain area.

“If it is a problem, then we’ll send anextra person out there,” he said.

PEDESTRIANSContinued from page 1

“President Todd said that the issue of safetyon Limestone and other university streets hasbeen referred to the campus safety committee.He pointed out that at one time, the universitydiscussed trying to plant hedges along Limestoneto force people to cross only at crosswalks. Heshares the fear of accidentally hitting a pedestri-an when he drives on campus and is very con-cerned. He has asked for recommendations fromthe safety committee.”

the Board of Trustees on March 29, 2005:
