Student killed in car crash Sunday, four injuredBy Katie Perkowski
About a year ago, 21-year-old architecture juniorKiara Hinkle decided tochange the way she was liv-ing and become a Christian.On Sunday, Hinkle was trav-eling to a church worshipservice with a group offriends when her car went outof control, and she was killed.
Gregory Campbell, presi-dent of the Lexington Cam-pus Disciples, said Hinkle
came to the organizationwhen she realized she wasnot living her life accordingto God.
“She decided to change,”Campbell said. “The Bibleteaches us how to be as aChristian. She just led anawesome, righteous life aftershe decided to come toChrist.”
Around 9 a.m., Hinkle, ofLouisville, was travelingwestbound on I-64 with UKengineering sophomore JasonW. Turner of Florence, Ky.,
20-year-old Nikki M. Berry,23-year-old Natya A. Staffordand 19-year-oldAubrey Barton, whenher car went out ofcontrol and flippedseveral times, accord-ing to a KentuckyState Police news re-lease.
The FranklinCounty Coroner pro-nounced Hinkle dead at thescene. Turner was injured andtaken to UK Hospital, andBerry, Stafford and Barton
were taken to the FrankfortRegional Medical Center.
Campbell said oth-ers could learn and beinspired from the wayHinkle lived her life.
“She’s very giving… selfless, and her hu-mility was just amaz-ing,” Campbell said.
One memory hewill not forget of Hin-
kle was one when shecheered him up during arough time, Campbell said.
“She said, ‘when we
hope, God says ‘no,’ butwhen we pray, God says‘yay,’ ” he said. “Just the wayshe said it, I’ll never forget it.It was comical but it’s just sotrue.”
Campbell said Barton andBerry had been released fromthe hospital, and Stafford andTurner were still in the hospi-tal as of early Monday after-noon.
Turner was originally incritical condition but was sta-ble as of Monday afternoon,Campbell said, and he was
awake and able to squeezehis arm Sunday.
Mike Runyon, a familygroup leader at the LexingtonChurch, said Hinkle had agentle, quiet spirit.
“ … You could tell fromher mannerisms she cared alot,” Runyon said.
Runyon said Hinkle sangwith a women’s choir groupon occasion, which took herout of her comfort zone.

Police arrestassistant
coach for DUIBy Kenny Colston
Lexington Police arrested UK men’s bas-ketball assistant coach Rod Strickland earlySunday morning, charging him with drunkendriving, driving without insurance, drivingwith no registration tags and disregarding atraffic device.
Lt. Fred Lisanby saidStrickland ran a red light atTates Creek and New CircleRoad, nearly colliding withanother vehicle. The incidenthappened at 2:55 a.m. Sun-day.
The UK assistant and for-mer NBA star has three previous DUI arrests,the most recent being a 2001 incident in Vir-ginia. Strickland was convicted in 1998 forthe same charge and completed a year proba-tion and 30 hours of community service. In1999, he was acquitted of charges relating todriving drunk in Washington.
This past season was the first for Strick-land as an assistant at the collegiate level.
According to Strickland’s contract, hemay be fired for any offenses listed by theuniversity’s human resources employee hand-book, especially any laid out in policy 12.1.3.
“I’m certainly disappointed,” said Presi-dent Lee Todd. “ We’ll just have to deal withit.”
“We want to make sure we understandeverything as we go through the conversa-tion,” said UK Athletics Director Mitch Barn-hart.
Part of the policy states any employeemay be fired for defaming the university’sreputation. Under the handbook’s alcoholpolicies, an employee can be terminated forthe use of alcohol at work or coming to workunder the influence of alcohol. Alcohol abuseoutside the workplace is vaguely touched on,with only a brief mention of the possibility ofreferral to abuse treatment.
Strickland is scheduled to appear inFayette County District Court on April 15 at 1p.m.

Athletics hits halfway point, aims for more wins, revenueBy Brandon Goodwin
UK athletics is on its way toreaching its goal of championshipsand program rankings.
UK Athletics Director MitchBarnhart told the UK AthleticsBoard Monday the 15 by 15 by 15plan is well on its way to fruition.
According to the plan that wasimplemented two years ago, Barn-hart hopes to win 15 tournament,conference and national champi-onships and rank among theNCAA’s top 15 programs, all be-fore the year 2015.
Barnhart said according to thecurrent Learfield Sports Directors’Cup rankings, UK sits in 13th placein the nation and second in the SEC,behind Florida.
Last year, UK placed 34th over-all.
Part of the success can be attrib-uted to the men’s basketball teamand UK’s rifle team, both with twochampionships in the past twoyears.
“When we started two yearsago, we wanted to achieve the 15 by15 by 15 plan,” Barnhart said. “Ifwe hold our spot, we will clearly beon top of that.”
Barnhart mentioned other athlet-ic achievements such as men’s bas-ketball head coach John Calipari be-ing the first UK coach to receive theAdolf Rupp Award.
The UK Athletics Board alsopassed a measure to increase seasonticket and single-game ticket prices$6 across the board.
The price hike is on par withpast ticket prices, according to aboard presentation, with an increaseof $5 from 2008 to 2009 and an $8increase from 2007 to 2008.
The new sideline season ticketprice is set at $272, and end zoneseason tickets will sell at $237.
For non-Bowl ChampionshipSeries football games, general ad-mission tickets will now cost $41,and BCS football game tickets will
sell for $46.In comparison with other SEC
season ticket prices, Kentuckyranks eighth, above Mississippiwith $295 and below Georgia with$240. Auburn sells the most expen-sive season tickets at $445.
The price increase will generate$1.2 million in new revenue, shouldnext year be a sell-out year for sea-son tickets.
UK athletics has the broadestprogram in the SEC, with only anaverage SEC budget. Auburn, Ala-bama, Florida, Louisiana State, Ten-nessee and Georgia all have higherbudgets.
The athletics board also ap-proved a $50 adjustment to all cur-rent K-Fund seats. The increase isexpected to raise $1.8 million in
new revenue. Currently, the K-Fund generates
$11.8 million in revenue. Florida,Georgia and Tennessee generatemore than $25 million annuallyfrom their seat fees.
Part of the reason for the dif-ference is the number of availableseats at football games, said Barn-hart, which can reach up to80,000. Commonwealth Stadiumseats 67,606. Also, most institu-tions require annual seat fees forall seats. UK still reserves someseats without annual fees attachedto them.
The K-Fund fees will now rangefrom $150 to $575 per seat. Accord-ing to the presentation, seat feesacross the league range from $50 to$5,000.
THE FINAL FRONTIERBy Fink Densford
Many UK fans watched inagony as the Cats battled WestVirginia March 27 in the NCAAtournament, but another UKteam battled its way into a differ-ent arena — space.
On March 27 UK helpedlaunch Frontier 1, a rocket builtentirely in Kentucky, into loworbit 167 miles above Earth’ssurface. Frontier 1 served as UKand Kentucky’s first venture intospace.
Most students do not evenknow UK has a space program,said James Lumpp, associateprofessor and director of the UKSpace Systems Laboratory.
The Space Systems Labora-tory was created in 2006 as partof Kentucky Space — a group ofuniversities focused on develop-ment of technology for use in
space. The UK SSL serves asthe engineering arm of KentuckySpace, Lumpp said.
Lumpp said his experienceas a pilot and an engineer part-nered with his enthusiasm for
space was a perfect combinationfor the program at UK. The labhas 10 members ranging fromfreshmen to graduate students.
“I don’t think most peopleknow what goes on here,”Lumpp said. “I doubt thatthere’s another university in theU.S. or in the world that has asmany missions going on as wedo here.”
The UK SSL has undertakenseveral successful missions sofar, from creating high-altitudeballoons to low-orbit rockets likethe Frontier 1, to creating a pieceof equipment for the internation-al space station.
“Maybe it’s a nerdy thing,but getting to space is reallyhard,” said Twyman Clements, agraduate student with the SSL.“You have to go to mach 25.”
Mach 25 is about 17,000

LOS ANGELES — Wayward late-night enter-tainer Conan O'Brien finally has found a home,and it's not on Fox television.
Unable to reach a deal to clear an 11 p.m.EDT time slot with Fox Broadcasting Net-work's affiliates, the former host of NBC's"Tonight Show" has decided to sign withcable network TBS to act as a lead-in forGeorge Lopez's "Lopez Tonight."
O'Brien's new hourlong show, yet tobe titled, will run on TBS Mondaysthrough Thursdays at the 11 p.m. slot,both in the Eastern and Pacific timezones. It ends his search for a program-ming home nearly three months after he left NBC.
"In three months I've gone from network tele-vision to Twitter to performing live in theaters, andnow I'm headed to basic cable," O'Brien joked in astatement. "My plan is working perfectly."
TBS, also known as Turner Broadcasting Sys-tem, is Time Warner Inc. company.
The announcement came as somewhat of asurprise, as O'Brien was thought to be hammeringout a deal with Fox, the one major broadcast net-work without a late-night talk show in its lineup.
But Fox affiliates have resisted the idea, pre-
ferring instead to show syndicated reruns duringthat hour — such as its own animated series "TheSimpsons" or products of other networks, like "TheOffice." (Fox, like MarketWatch, is a division of
News Corp.)So O'Brien has turned to another al-
ternative after leaving the "Tonight Show"on NBC.
O'Brien left that show in a much-pub-licized dispute with the network after itdecided to abandon Jay Leno's prime-timeexperiment. Leno moved out of his long-time seat as "Tonight Show" host to fronta 10 p.m. program leading into local
newscasts. Leno failed to catch on with viewers,and so was moved back to his traditional 11:30p.m. time.
NBC wanted to give Leno a half-hour, and of-fered to keep O'Brien as host of the "TonightShow" at midnight. But O'Brien declined, and histenure as the "Tonight Show" host ended afterless than eight months.
Lopez's show will be moved back by one hourto make room for O'Brien, TBS said.

Panel: recession may not be overBy Kevin G. Hall
McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Most mainstreameconomists think the nation's deep recession isover, but a special body that makes such a de-termination took a pass Monday, saying whatmany Americans intuitively feel, that the dataremain inconclusive.
The National Bureau of Economic Re-search, a nonprofit group of economists, deter-mines when recessions start and end as part ofits work in calculating the peaks and troughsof the business cycle.
The bureau's Business Cycle Dating Com-mittee met last Friday and concluded that thejury is still out on the recession's end, an-nouncing that decision on its Web site Mon-day.
The committee reaffirmed that the reces-sion began in December 2007, but its sevenmembers couldn't determine whether the re-cession has ended.
"The trough date would identify the end ofcontraction and the beginning of expansion.Although most indicators have turned up, thecommittee decided that the determination ofthe trough date on the basis of current datawould be premature," the committee said in astatement.
One reason for a cautious view is the stub-bornly high jobless rate.
Unemployment remains anchored in theballpark of 9.7 percent. March employment
numbers finally showed a solid gain of around162,000 jobs, partly aided through govern-ment hiring to conduct the 2010 Census.
Although economic expansion usually ismarked by two consecutive quarters ofgrowth, the committee wants to see more evi-dence of strong and consistent job growth asan indicator that businesses are hiring on thebasis of a firming economy.
"We will be ready to assign a particularmonth to the date of the trough when data re-visions have settled down and the expansionhas continued to the point where a sudden re-versal would constitute a new recession andnot a continuation of the one that started inDecember 2007," Robert Hall, a Stanford Uni-versity economist and the chairman of the bu-reau's committee, told McClatchy Newspa-pers.
What's different this time, however, is therecord numbers of long-term unemployed.Some 15 million Americans are unemployed,6.5 million of them for half a year or longer.
It's why a sluggish recovery still leavesfear about a possible dip back into recessionlate this year.
"The question is, are businesses going tofeel confident enough ... that they think the re-covery is firmly in place and therefore they'regoing to want to hire? And will they have ac-cess to credit to do so?" asked Gus Faucher,the director of macroeconomics for Moody'sEconomy.com.

Fair and right aren’t always equalLife as a college basketball coach,
especially in Lexington, isn’t alwayseasy. It certainly isn’t always fair.
So when RodStrickland was pulledover early Sundaymorning in his fourthdrunk driving-relatedincident, the conse-quences shouldn’t beeasy, and maybe theywon’t be fair.
But if UK wantsto get it right, itshouldn’t wait for hisApril 15 arraignment
to decide on Strickland’s future. Beswift, be just. Set the proper examplefor the student-athletes, and don’t playpolitics like the powers that be in Indi-anapolis, messing with the basketballtournament.
Strickland should be thanked for hisseason of service to UK, and he shouldbe let go.
When John Calipari brought Strick-land to his staff from Memphis, the for-mer NBA guard was seen as, amongother things, a recruiting tool: He knowswhat it takes to play in the league, be-cause he lasted there for 17 seasons.What high school player, especially apoint guard, wouldn’t like that kind oftutelage?
Strickland’s hire could also have beenseen as a calculated risk from Calipari. AtMemphis, Strickland served as director ofbasketball operations — a suit on thebench that didn’t coach; rather, he assist-ed with off-court relations (which makesthe title “director of basketball opera-tions” seem like a misnomer).
His spot on the bench at UK wasinitially set to go to a man named JoshPastner, until he accepted the headcoaching spot Calipari left at Memphisthat nobody expected to fall all the wayto Pastner. So when it did, Calipari opt-ed to give Strickland a chance to bumpup from a non-coaching administrativejob to assistant coach instead of findingsomebody he hadn’t worked with.
Through just one season, it’s diffi-cult to say if the risk paid off. Becauseof the timing of Strickland’s hire lastMay, it’s likely he didn’t impact anysignings from Calipari’s first class.
But the administration shouldn’t waitany more to see if the risk will pay offeventually. Now, there’s no way it can.
Most times, assistant coaches workmore personally with players than headcoaches do. In turn, they have just asmuch or more influence over the ath-letes than Calipari does in a personalsense. If Cal decides to leave Stricklandon staff, how can he explain to parentson the recruiting trail that a repeat DUI
offender is on staff?And how can Calipari justify to
himself that it’s worth the trouble?For all Strickland may or may not
do behind the scenes and on the practicefloor at UK, his job isn’t irreplaceable.If it was, he’d be a head coach some-where by now.
And for Strickland personally, itmay be best he is cut loose.
When Billy Gillispie was fired lastyear, he hit rock bottom. In August, hesurfaced in nearby Lawrenceburg in themiddle of the night, caught driving un-der the influence. Only then did he real-ize he had a problem with alcohol, andonly then did he seek treatment.
Maybe for Strickland, he can realizealcohol is a problem in his life. Fourtimes now he has been arrested for driv-ing drunk. For the sake of himself andhis family, he should seek treatment.Like Gillispie, maybe it would takesomething as dramatic as losing a job tofind that help.
Calipari should stay by his side, andoffer him assistance throughout theprocess. But it should be as a friend, notas a boss.
Maybe that’s not fair. But fair isn’talways right, and right isn’t always fair.

‘Little things’ could have big impactBy Metz Camfield
On the football field, thelast thing a coach wants toworry about is the players’footwork, getting in the cor-rect stance and understandingsnap counts.
After Monday morning’spractice and looking at filmfrom Saturday’s intrasquadscrimmage, UK head coachJoker Phillips said those “littlethings” are what’s on his mind.
“The little things are thethings we have to take careof,” Phillips said. “(Therewere) way too many missedassignments Saturday. That’sthe difference in the defensestopping the offense, and alsothe difference in our offensegetting the ball in the end-zone a couple more times,too.”
One thing Phillips doesn’t
have to worry about with theCats is their energy and effortexerted in practice, sayingMonday’s practice was “spir-ited.”
After losing 27 seniors,Phillips said they’re trying todevelop leaders, more so onthe defense than the offense.Experienced offensive leaderslike Mike Hartline, RandallCobb, Derrick Locke andStuart Hines are playersPhillips can rely on and hesaid they have to get similarplayers on defense.
Senior-to-be DeQuinEvans is one such player.
Evans will enter the sea-son with UK after leadingthem with a team-high sixsacks and registering thethird-most tackles among re-turning players in the 2009season. Evans had to sit outSaturday’s scrimmage with asprained right knee he suf-
fered in practice, but Phillipssaid he’s a guy they’re count-ing on to be a big time leader.
Evans said he wasn’t a“rah-rah” type of player, butwith so many seniors gradu-ating it’s a perfect time forguys to step up and he’s try-ing to bring back the “kid inthe sport.”
“This is something you’resupposed to love to do,”Evans said. “I understand it’snot always going to be a hap-py situation when you messup on a play or something,but you’re out here playingfootball. This thing is whatyou’ve been doing since youwere a little kid. If you’re nothaving fun doing it you’remost likely not going to havea good game.”
Evans said working onthe little things will lead tothe big things falling intoplace, but agreed with
Phillips in that the Cats wereplaying with great energy.
Florida and Alabama,owners of three of the lastfour national championships,were two such teams Evanspointed out that always playwith the energy needed towin the big games.
Evans said as long as theCats work with great energy,he doesn’t think anyone canstop them and their effort willbe the key to the season.
“I don’t think we have thebest talent as everybody, but Iknow as a fact there’s nobodythat’s outworking us rightnow,” Evans said.
“Since we’re not as tal-ented as everybody else, wedon’t have as much depth asall these other SEC teams,that’s what we have to do. Wehave to physically out-beatthem and play with relentlesseffort, just keep working hardand outwork everybody.”
Teenage death can serve as lessonBy Mitch AlbomDetroit Free Press
Matt James fell off a bal-cony. He died. He was 17,four years under the legaldrinking age. Police say hewas drunk. This would be atragic story if it were an iso-lated story.
It's more tragic because itis not.
James was not the firstunderage kid to die duringspring break this year. Hewasn't the first in Florida, norwas he the first in party-hap-py Panama City Beach. Hewasn't even the first in Pana-ma City Beach to fall fivestories. Just two weeks earli-er, a 19-year-old man fromGeorgia did the same thing.Fell off. Died. Alcohol, ac-cording to the guy's friends,was involved in that one, too.
James' story got more at-tention over the past weekbecause he had been a topfootball recruit for NotreDame, an offensive lineman
hailed for his agility and tow-ering presence. After hisdeath, the Internet lit up withtributes and sad farewells.Matt James was mourned asa pied piper to small kids, agentle giant.
No one spoke about howmuch alcohol it takes to in-toxicate a 6-foot-8, 290-pound body. No one saidhow preposterous it is to ar-gue with people next door byleaning over the balcony andshaking your finger — whichJames was reportedly doingwhen he fell.
No one asked how a 17-year-old, on a trip with 40other kids and six adults,manages to drink enough tobe in such a state — at 6:30in the evening, not exactlythe wee hours — with no-body stopping him.
In fact, when James' highschool football coach wasquestioned by the mediaabout the intoxication, hesaid, "I think you trivializethe situation if you start fo-
cusing on that. A young man,a 17-year-old young man,lost his life."
Yes. And alcohol may bethe reason.
There is nothing trivialabout that.
If anything, alcohol is thereal story here. BetweenMarch 11-28, police saidthey arrested 985 people inPanama City Beach for un-derage possession of alcohol.Read that again. Nine hun-dred eighty-five kids. And Icall them kids, because whenit comes to drinking, theyare.
Which begs the question,especially with James, a12th-grader: What was hedoing down there? Sincewhen did spring break be-come a high school thing?Since when is 40 kids withsix adults — who, accordingto the football coach, weren'teven there as official chaper-ones — a good ratio?
How much more evi-dence do you need that Flori-
da, spring break and hotelrooms can be a dangerouscombination? There is an aw-ful history of people fallingto their deaths from balconiesin the Sunshine State. Some-times they are jumping to an-other room to avoid crowdedelevators. Sometimes theyare diving into swimmingpools. Sometimes they aretaking foolish dares.
In any and all cases, it isno place to send your highschool kid. I don't care howmuch they beg. I don't carehow hard they work inschool. And I really don'tcare how much they promisenot to drink. Come on. Wewere all that age. Betweenthe pressure from yourfriends, the ease of acquisi-tion and the teenage ability tostay up longer and later thanany adult chaperone, booze isalways going to be a threat.
How do you avoid athreat?
How about staying away.

Conferencebrings realityto conflict
For many students, war has been a constant in thebackground of their lives. War has either played a dom-inant role, been heard under the static of a radio stationor taken in via the passive flipping through newspapersor television stations.
Since 2001, the U.S. has been involved in a waroverseas, in some form or another, in eitherAfghanistan or Iraq. The reality of this war is broughtto us in the form of the printed word or broadcast.
However, it’s easy to forget that in order to receivethe news, there must be someone on the other side, cap-turing those moments, recording the attack and trans-mitting their words and pictures back home.
War and journalism go hand in hand, and have foryears. Last weekend, UK brought some of the leadersand reporters who have been involved in covering thewar during the conference on War, Journalism and His-tory.
“TV does not show you what we see,” Robert Fisk,a foreign correspondent and columnist for London Inde-pendent said. “It doesn’t show you dogs tearing up deadbodies, or blood flowing up over my shoes into mysocks from a bleeding boy in the hospital, or a decapi-tated baby, and these are the realities.”
This is war. Students had the chance to listen to these people,
hear the voices of those involved in the coverage andgain a deeper understanding of the United States’ in-volvement in the war.
The conference was a successful undertaking byboth The School of Journalism and Telecommunicationsand the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for the Studyof the Two World Wars.
With Terry Anderson, UK professor and a formerchief Middle East correspondent for the AssociatedPress, helping bring in the best names in war journal-ism, it’s clear the school is becoming a known name infield of journalism.
Those are the steps UK must make not only to im-prove as a university, but to ensure the students under-stand the reality and urgency of war-time situations.
Concealed weapons providesafety in emergency situations
Over the years, guns have carried nega-tive connotations for criminal violence. Weall hear about these incidents on the news,but we rarely think about a gun being usedfor good.
In the April 7 column by J. Seth Lee“College campuses not place for guns,”Lee talked about his ties with the VirginiaTech shooting that occurred three yearsago.
However, he fails to mention how thesituation might have been different if itwas legal to carry a concealed weapon oncampus.
Virginia Tech is a weapons-free campus,and was before the shootings occurred.The murderer responsible for the shootingsobtained a gun, came to campus, and killedinnocent students, regardless of theweapons policy.
The only thing that could stop him, anddid stop him, was a gun. If law-abidingstudents and professors were allowed tocarry a concealed weapon on campus, theshooter would have gotten only a coupleshots off before he was stopped.
Instead of that scenario we have an au-ditorium full of helpless students fearingfor their lives.
Restricting concealed weapons on cam-
pus affects responsible gun owners, whiledoing nothing to stop a killer from bring-ing a gun.
As much as college campuses operatein their fantasy lands, they cannot stopcriminals from bringing the weapons oncampus.
I am supporting the peaceful protest insupport of the legalization of concealedweapons on college campuses.
I agree with Lee in saying “We’d likelyall agree some places exist where peopleshould feel safe and be safe: our ownhomes, our places of worship and ourschools.”
I argue that the Constitutional right tobear arms is the way to ensure safety forthe students on campus.
I don’t understand his argument thatconcealed weapons on campus only createthe illusion of safety.
I know that if I was carrying a fire armon campus and one of my class matesstarting shooting students in my class, Iwould be able to do something about it,rather than sit under a desk praying forhelp to come (i.e. someone with a gun).

Women’s coach goes extra mile, promotes well-rounded athletes
Although head women’sbasketball coach MatthewMitchell loves basketball, he
strives todevelop hisplayers intogood citi-zens andstudents.
Origi-nally an ap-prentice toTennesseeheadwomen’sbasketball
coach Pat Summitt,Mitchell has built a success-ful program of his own.
In his third season ashead coach, his Catsachieved a record of 29-8,and made it all the way tothe Elite Eight.
However, success hasn’tcome easy. Last season, theCats lost in the secondround of the National Invita-tion Tournament.
Mitchell’s remedy for theteam’s woes was the basics.
Throughout this pastseason, he stressed the im-portance of fundamentals.Mitchell said he took his
team back to basic drills,which included defensivefootwork, shooting form andlay-ups.
“Having played basket-ball the majority of my life,I came in thinking I knewjust about everything,”freshman forward BrittanyHenderson said. “But assoon as I walked into thatgym, I felt like I was start-ing over completely. Wehad to break it down andstart all over again.”
Although the team fo-cuses primarily on basket-ball, Mitchell said it’s im-portant to grow as a personas well as an athlete.
He stresses his winningtools, which include hon-esty, hard work and disci-pline. To promote thesetools, Mitchell gives everyfreshman who comes intohis program a wallet-sizedcard with the tools listed onit. Mitchell hopes his play-ers will apply these tools toacademics.
“I think there is a disci-pline that goes along withthe learning process,”Mitchell said. “To succeed,
you have to have motiva-tion, discipline, managementand passion, which will beuseful skills later in life.”
Freshman guardBernisha Pinkett said, whenone of Mitchell’s playerswas struggling in a historycourse, he took time out ofhis schedule to help. Notonly did Mitchell tutor theplayer, he also bought thecourse’s book and tooknotes from it. He even at-tended the class with her.
“The relationship be-tween athlete and coach isextremely important,”Mitchell said. “The athleteneeds to trust and believethat the coach is truly in-vested in helping them tobecome their best. The ath-lete needs to trust that thecoach is going to push themacademically and help themto develop socially as peo-ple. The athlete needs tobelieve the coach caresabout them all the time notjust when they are runningup and down that court.”
To help develop thistype of bond Mitchell hostsdinners at his home. He also
has an open door policy forall of the players at alltimes.
“We have a group with alot of personality and wehave a lot of light heartedmoments that keep us laugh-ing,” Mitchell said. “I got tosee the team spend time to-gether and enjoy each otherand that was a real joy forme this year.”
Mitchell not only caresabout his team, but he alsocares about the school atwhich he coaches.
“All of us here, whetherwe are playing basketball orgoing to school, are a part ofsomething special and that isthe University of Kentucky,”Mitchell said. “I love beinghere at this place at thistime. It is very exciting andI think we all need to realizehow fortunate we are that wefound this place. We need todo everything we can tomake it the best place wecan, and I think everyonecan have a hand in that.”

Atrocious acts of the coal industry endanger miners lives
I write this opinion notas an environmental ac-tivist, a renewable energyadvocate or a progressive.
I write this as a human-ist, as we should all be,with a genuine concern forthe dangers in which we en-trench our people.
The West Virginia mineblast has disturbed me sinceits headlines broke the frontpage.
The devastation thatWest Virginia has experi-enced is shocking enoughfor President Obama tosays, “…it’s clear thatmore needs to be doneabout mine safety.”
The mine blast is some-thing that could have beenavoided.
The fact we lost 29Americans that day due tothe laziness of Massey En-ergy to fix a “pattern of vi-olations” running back totwo years is appalling.
After being warnedseveral times for high lev-els of methane, accumula-tion of flammable coaldust, and poor ventilation,Massey Energy Companyfailed to correct the prob-lems.
Unfortunately, we seesimilar apathy towardmine workers here in Ken-tucky as well in the lastgeneration, 60 percent ofmining jobs have been lostdue to the replacement ofthe miner with large ma-chinery.
An industry that onceemployed much of EasternKentucky citizens, nowonly employs 1 percent ofour state’s workforce, andthat number is dwindling.
It is apparent the miningindustry holds no value inthe risks our miners takeevery day to make a buckfor the coal company.
These risks include un-
bearable conditions, as seenin West Virginia.
Rescue workers at thatUpper Big Branch mine hadto cease efforts after it wasdetected that there were“explosively high levels ofmethane and carbonmonoxide.”
This type of environ-ment is what our workerswalk into nearly every day,especially when companieslike Massey Energy fail toregulate safe air quality.
It is atrocious to me thatwe allow for avoidable dis-asters like the West Virginiamine blast to happen.
In the words of JohnMuir, “when the canarystops singing, only a foolstays in the mines.”
It seems that we’vebeen using our citizens ascanaries for far too long.

When selecting textbooks,students kept in mind
By Emily [email protected]
One of the ongoing com-plaints of college students isthe cost of textbooks, andsome students may wonderhow professors choose text-books to make required read-ing.
On April 1, professorshad to submit their list of re-quired textbooks for next se-mester, and one UK professorsaid he does not look at itemcosts or buyback prices whenchoosing books.
Spanish professorGeorgie Medina said whenchoosing books and materials
for Spanish classes, profes-sors focus mainly on findingmaterials to enhance the stu-dents’ proficiency in the lan-guage.
"We are aware that someof the materials are expen-sive, but we look at howmuch are the students goingto benefit from all thesetools," Medina said.
In some cases, studentsare required to spend morethan $100 on textbooks for asingle course, which is some-thing not all can afford.
Pyschology senior AlyssaBretts said she spent $500 onmaterials for one class.

Steven Kasper said in someof his classes professors havenot used the whole book, sothe textbooks have not beenworth their price.
"Given the actual value of(what is used) compared towhat they're costing us … it'scompletely ludicrous,"Kasper said.
Open-source textbooks isa way for students to down-load textbooks to their com-puter or access them online,and Kasper recommendedthis option.

miles per hour, or five milesper second, and it is thespeed a shuttle was going onApril 5, 2010 when it helpedcarry another of the UKSSL’s creations, theNanoRack, to the interna-tional space station.
NanoRacks LLC, a com-pany looking to commercial-ize space production, ap-proached Kentucky Space tohelp create a modular, stan-dardized way to perform ex-periments in small spaces onthe space station, Clements
said. The UK SSL helped de-
velop a compartmental sys-tem for running experimentson the International SpaceStation, Clements said. Theequipment was entirely man-ufactured at UK and is cur-rently in use on the station.
“It’s something I neverthought I’d be doing,”Clements said. “To have thestuff you make even consid-ered to be taken up there iscool.”
Daniel Erb, student direc-tor of the SSL, said the feel-ing was indescribable.
“It’s very fulfilling tohave finally made it,” Erbsaid. “A few weeks ago, we
had nothing. Now, we havetwo different things, and oneis a permanent fixture in thespace station.”
Later this year, UK willset another first, as it and twoother schools take part in thefirst launching of student-built satellites by NASA.
The SSL has been design-ing and manufacturing one ofthe first student satellites,named KY Sat 1, to be sentinto space in November.
Lumpp said the satellitewas designed mostly for edu-cational purposes and wouldinclude a high-powered trans-mitter and camera, allowingpeople to interact with it indifferent ways.
