A global crossroads will meet betweenIsrael and Kentucky: Former Israeli PrimeMinister Ehud Olmert visits on Wednesday.

The lecture “sold out” of free tickets,said Assistant Provost Richard Greissman.

The ticket office “reported lots of stu-dents” reserving tickets, Greissman said.

In addition, students from other univer-sities will fill the 1,400 seats in the Single-tary Center for the Arts.

UK gave tickets to Transylvania Uni-versity, Fayette County schools and BereaCollege, Greissman said.

UK is sponsoring two lectures through-out the academic year to promote dialoguethroughout the university about peace in theMiddle East. Details on the Palestinian lec-turer are unclear.

Greissman said the administration is“getting closer” to finding the Palestinianofficial scheduled to speak in March 2010.Greissman also said hosting the speaker isan effort to balance the angle on Israeli-Palestinian conflict and peace initiatives,and that the speaker will be “of equalstature” to Olmert.

“When institutions are aspiring to bebetter they do big things, like bring peopleof stature,” Greissman said.

Students are reminded to leave back-packs at home, because bags will besearched due to increased security measures.

With about three days left and 20 teams in thesolar decathlon, UK’s S-KY BLUE house is in13th place overall.

The solar-powered “BLUE” house is a combi-nation of man-made and natural energy sources,which inhabitants can control to maintain desiredliving conditions, according to its Web site.

Josh Duddey, an architecture graduate student,has been working on the project for more than ayear and said the team deserves better than theircurrent place in the standings.

“I feel that our concepts when building it madeit better than a 13th-placed house … it was verydisappointing to find that out,” Duddey said.

Jeffrey Kellow, a biosystems and agriculturalengineering graduate student, said a lot of peoplehave been impressed with the house.

“It’s been real-ly exciting to see itphysically cometogether and see itin its entirety …and be able to op-erate all the sys-tems together,”Kellow said.

Kellow saidoverall, thingshave run smoothly.However, the teamhad a couple earlysetbacks, including a problem with part of thehouse’s air-conditioning system.

The team had to rewire and replace a part but isrecovering well.

“We’re optimistic about things,” Kellow said.Kellow said the biggest part of the competition

is the net metering, which indicates whether ahouse has been able to produce more energy thanwhat it consumes.

UK’s team has achieved its net metering andwill continue to be monitored until the end of thecontest.

The decathlon homes are judged in ten cate-gories: engineering, hot water, architecture, marketviability, communications, lighting design, com-fort, appliances, energy balance and home enter-tainment.

The H1N1 vaccination has fi-nally made its way to Lexington.

The first batch of 2009 H1N1Influenza vaccinations arrived atthe Lexington-Fayette CountyHealth Department on Tuesday.The batch included 3,000 doses,which will be administered tohealth care workers first, saidLFCHD communications officerKevin Hall.

Hall said the LFCHD is work-ing with more than 100 Lexingtonclinics and hospitals, includingUK Hospital. Vaccinations willbe distributed to clinics and hospi-tals, where they will be given tohealth care workers.

The vaccine, which is admin-

istered to recipients through bothnostrils, contains the live virusand is available to healthy indi-viduals between the ages of 2 and49, Hall said.

Dr. Chris Nelson, associateprofessor of pediatrics specializingin infectious diseases, said UK’shead pharmacist picked up 200doses of the intranasal vaccineTuesday morning.

“These will be targeted athealth care workers at UK througha prioritization plan that we arefinalizing,” Nelson said in an e-mail to the Kernel.

Hall said the leftover vaccineswill be administered to targetgroups such as pregnant womenand young children. The vaccinesare not yet available to the public.

Writing Program helps buildnew generation of scholars

By Ellen Bakernews@kykernel.com

From Cambodia to Ken-tucky, university professorsare always helping each oth-er.

Anne Mareck, the UKWriting Program associate di-rector, was contacted by aprofessor on a mission to re-build a generation of schol-ars.

Mareck said Jeanette Co-ufal, a curriculum and devel-opment specialist at FormanChristian College in Lahore,Pakistan, contacted the UKWriting Program for ideasabout how to teach composi-tion. Mareck said she invitedCoufal to talk about teachingstudents to write. They meton Aug. 4, and at that time,Mareck learned of Coufal’smission.

Mareck learned Coufalwas seeking assistance fromthe UK Writing Program be-cause she was looking to re-

build a lost generation ofCambodian intellectuals.

The Khmer Rouge, aCambodian Communist waveof violence led by dictatorPol Pot from 1975-79, mur-dered approximately 2 mil-lion Cambodians—about 21percent of the national popu-lation. The massacre specifi-cally targeted scholars, whowere seen as subversives, ef-fectively eliminating Cambo-dia’s knowledge base.

When Coufal received aFulbright professorship to theRoyal University of PhnomPenh in Cambodia, she wassurprised she would teachEnglish composition to gradu-ate students. Coufal toldMareck Cambodian universi-ties have never fully recov-ered from the Pol Pot mas-sacres and her Fulbright pro-fessorship is an attempt totrain a new generation ofscholars in hopes of enrichingthe Cambodian higher educa-tion environment.

Upon traveling to UK tolearn more about writingcomposition, Coufal carried$1,000 to purchase textbooksto bring back to Cambodia.However, Mareck knew Co-ufal’s budget would be insuf-ficient for the books sheneeded.

Mareck contacted the pro-gram’s Bedford/St. Martin’sbook representative, CindyHall, for financial assistance.Hall immediately asked hersupervisors to donate text-books to Coufal’s mission

“It was just the rightthings to do,” Hall said.“They needed good textbooksand they had such a paltrybudget.”

On Coufal’s behalf, Bed-ford/St. Martin’s donated 80textbooks and 13 personalteaching guides, worth morethan $3,500. Mareck said Co-ufal was thrilled that her$1,000 could now be spent onother educational costs forher students.

In the settlement, Gillispieagreed to a non-disparagementclause stating he would in no waymake any derogatory or detrimentalcomments about the university. Healso agreed to a covenant not to sueor bring any other lawsuit againstUK at any time for any reason.

Gillispie sued UK on May 27 onthe grounds that he was owed $1.5million for each of the four yearsleft on his memorandum of under-standing. In a news conference held

March 27, UK President Lee Toddsaid Gillispie was fired for not ful-filling the expectations of a UKhead coach.

“There was a lack of under-standing that this job is more thangames and recruiting,” Todd said.“You have to be an ambassador tothis program and university.”

MILITARY SALUTE

After an extortion plot forces Letterman to comeclean, details about his sexual past come back to haunthim.

Former staffers of the Late Show With David Let-terman agree on one thing about their old boss: -Per-haps only Barack Obamais more tightly guarded. “Whenhe walks through the building, he has the hallwayscleared,” one source tells Us of the Indiana-born late-night host’s preshow behavior. Adds another, “If you doget to stand in a hallway, you’re not supposed to makeany eye contact with him.” Then there’s his glass-en-closed password—protected private office area pa-trolled by his five female underlings. “Only his assis-tants worked back there and wouldn’t let anyone in -not even to deliver food,” says another ex-employee.“It’s like a -secret society.”

By now, it’s clear who was on the membership list.Almost immediately after Letterman, 62, revealed in abizarrely folksyOctober 1 monologue that he was a vic-tim of a $2 million extortion plot stemming from his li-aisons with female staffers, the identities of some ofthose women have surfaced. At the forefront: his 34-year-old former personal assistant and droll correspon-dent Stephanie Birkitt. On October 2, her ex-boyfriend,48 Hours Mystery producer -Robert “Joe” Halderman,52, pleaded not guilty to grand larceny for attempting toshake down Letterman.

Multiple sources confirm to Us that the reclusiveLetterman - who apologized to his wife, onetime -em-ployee Regina Lasko, 48, and his staff on-air October 5 -

-carefully -constructed a workplace where he felt freeto choose from female staffers, ranging from lowly in-terns to respected writers. To some, the staff evenseemed cut from the same wholesome Midwesterncloth as the boss. “I noticed they all had an average, all-American look,” says an alum. The affairs were so nu-merous and overlapping, the New York Post reported hewooed them in an in-house “love nest” complete withfoldout couch. (A Letterman pal counters that, like manypeople, he has a couch in his office.)

Lothario WaysA media mogul worth $400 million, Letterman is no

newcomer to office romance. His relationship withLasko dates back to 1986, when she was a writer onhis NBC late-night show. (They wed in March 2009;their son, -Harry, is 5.) Before that, he dated writer Mer-rill Markoe, 61, who joked on her blog October 2, “Davepromised me many times that I was the only woman hewould -ever cheat on.” And former intern HollyHester told TMZ of a secret, yearlong affair in the early1990s, saying, “I was madly in love with him.”

Birkitt was among his recent favorites. A LateShow intern while a junior at Wake Forest College in1996, she returned to his staff a few years later to helpout with his charities and run errands. After a chanceon-air appearance, Letterman was so impressed withher, she became a show staple and mini celeb. Some-where along the way, the host, who nicknamed her“Smitty,” became smitten.

We are definitely considering possibly going to athree-man rotation in this round, but we’ll have to take alook at it.”“ — Joe Girardi, Yankees manager

Breaking the mold:Sophomore to shine once cast is off

By Ben Jonesbjones@kykernel.com

The cast will come off.Sophomore linebacker

Danny Trevathan, who hasbeen playing much of the sea-son with a cast on his rightarm after fracturing a bone inhis wrist, expects to take hisplay to another level — andanother role on the team —once the cast is removed thisweek or next week.

“I’ll be back there return-ing kicks,” Trevathan said.

Returning kicks and puntsis an unusual proposition formost linebackers, but not forone with the speed of Tre-vathan, who ranks fifth on theteam with 25 tackles. TheCats (2-3, 0-3 SoutheasternConference) got a glimpse ofTrevathan’s speed in theBlue/White game last springwhen he had a 31-yard kickreturn along with 11 tackles.

His development into asolid full-time player is onereason why UK’s linebackercorps has exceeded expecta-tions thus far in 2009. Ques-tions surrounded the positiongroup as Trevathan joinedsenior Sam Maxwell as thestarting outside linebackers,because they held only onecareer start between them be-fore the season.

Even though all threestarting linebackers have bat-tled nagging injuries to thispoint, UK linebackers coachChuck Smith is pleased withthe way they’ve played. It is-n’t any surprise to him theyhave come through as pro-ductive players.

“I saw (Trevathan andMaxwell) in spring ball so I

had a good feeling about it,”Smith said. “But still, theywere really unproven untilthey got into it and they’vedone pretty good. And I thinkthey can do even better.”

Trevathan’s productiononly figures to improve oncehe loses the cast, which hesays makes it difficult to grabball-carriers or shed blockers.Senior middle linebackerMicah Johnson has battled avariety of ailments this year,including turf toe, an ankleinjury, a groin injury and ahip flexor. Maxwell is no dif-ferent; he’s suffered from turftoe and other lingering in-juries.

Smith says the main rea-son Trevathan and Maxwellprepare so feverishly forgames is to overcome thetime they’ve spent on thebench in previous years. Nowthat they have their chance,they’re taking full advantageof their time on the field.

“They’ve waited in thewings,” Smith said. “They’vebeen hungry for it.”

Maxwell is the more sea-soned player, but Trevathan isconsidered to be the futurestar. Johnson said Trevathanhas a chance to follow in thefootsteps of NFL players andUK products like BraxtonKelley and Wesley Wood-yard, who also played on theoutside.

Trevathan and Johnsonused to live together, andalong with Maxwell, Johnsonhas taken the sophomore un-der his wing.

“A lot of times, Dannyand I are on the field at thesame time so if he needs any-thing, he asks me,” Johnson

said. “He’s a smart kid. He’svery, very talented.”

Smith sees the potentialfor greatness in all aspects ofTrevathan’s game. From hiswork ethic to his all-aroundathletic ability, there’s nothingabout Trevathan that doesn’timpress his position coach.

“He certainly does (havethe potential to be a star) be-cause he’s getting the chanceto play early and he’s gottremendous speed for a line-backer,” Smith said. “Notonly that, he’s a tough, physi-cal guy too. He’s got all thequalities that it takes to be agreat linebacker in the SEC.So far he’s showing me that

he really wants to be that fu-ture star linebacker becausehe’s taking care of his respon-sibilities.”

But until the cast comesoff and the full speed of Tre-vathan is unleashed, UK fanswill have to take Johnson andSmith at their word. As hewaits his turn to lead the line-backers, Trevathan knowswhat’s expected of him.

“I try not to let that get tome, but you can’t help butnotice if a great player like(Johnson) says something likethat,” Trevathan said. “Itmeans a lot and I’m going togo out here and try to live upto it.”

Brooks, UK staffkeep quiet about

quarterbacksHas Rich Brooks borrowed a move from Cleveland

Browns head coach Eric Mangini?In the wake of Mike Hartline’s knee injury, controversy

has emerged as to who should take Hartline’s spot.Other than what Will Fidler dis-

played in limited time against South Car-olina last weekend, fans don’t knowmuch about him.

The other quarterback in the equa-tion, Morgan Newton, is a true freshmanwho has yet to take a single snap in acollege game.

Since so little is known about eachplayer, can’t we assume we’ll learn moreabout each player at practice this week?

Not exactly. At Tuesday’s practice,media members were informed neitherFidler nor Newton would be available for

interviews all week.It could mean a couple of things. Maybe Brooks wants

to keep Auburn on its toes and not give the Tigers a chanceto prepare properly.

Maybe the coaching staff simply doesn’t know yet, andthe media boycott is to prevent the two inexperienced play-ers from being distracted. That’s what Brooks said Tuesday.

“I don’t think they need the distraction with all of thestuff that’s going on,” Brooks said. “And besides, that givesyou guys more stuff to write about and have more fun, dosome polls on who should start. This is more fun for you.I’m giving you some cannon fodder.”

We appreciate it, Coach.Brooks played it off — and Brooks is one of the best at

playing off situations like those.Still, the feeling to me is that either way, the coaches

have little confidence in the situation.I can’t blame them. When he went down, Hartline was

coming off his best half of the season, arguably of his career.When he was injured in the third quarter of UK’s 28-26 lossto South Carolina on Saturday, Hartline was 9-of-14 with139 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

Just when the hubbub surrounding Hartline’s job securi-ty was beginning to be silenced, it immediately roared back.

And now the controversy is louder than ever — turnedup to 11, really. And is the speculation any less distractingthan letting the players speak for themselves for 10 minutesafter practice?

Fidler and Newton aren’t going to be fielding phonecalls from their dorms. Ten minutes after practice, theycould answer a few questions. That’s all it would be.

If that’s too much for either quarterback, how would ei-ther be able to handle his first career start on the road at thefootball-crazed, 87,000-capacity Jordan-Hare Stadium?

This all reminds me of what Mangini did this preseasonwith his quarterbacks.

Quick refresher: Mangini had to decide whether to startBrady Quinn or Derek Anderson at quarterback. Instead ofbeing up front with the media, Mangini decided to telleveryone he had made the decision, but he wasn’t going toreveal it until the Browns kicked off on opening weekend.

Several days before the Browns’ opener, word leakedthat Quinn was the choice.

Some confidence Mangini had in his choice: At halftimein the Browns’ third game, Quinn was pulled for Anderson.

The Browns’ case seemed like a lose-lose. Either way,the quarterback would have been surrounded by 10 otherBrowns. Nobody wins.

Sadly, UK’s situation isn’t all that different. Either way,UK is stuck with a quarterback who, in both instances, wasblown away by Hartline in spring, summer and fall practice.

And Brooks, at least through one day of QB Watch2009, isn’t handling it much differently than Mangini.

“You know, the quarterbacks both played pretty good,”Brooks said. “They threw some good balls and did somegood things.”

As odd as it may sound, that statement was his leastvague regarding the quarterbacks after Tuesday’s practice.

With the Browns, being vague didn’t get Mangini any-where.

With the Cats, we’ll see.James Pennington is a journalism senior. E-mail jpen-

Last line of defense is the one men’s soccer trusts the most in clutchBy Clark Brooks

sports@kykernel.com

With the likes of senior striker Marco dosSantos and Hermann Trophy candidate andAll-American defender Barry Rice, mostteams overlook senior goalie Dan Williamswhen preparing for the UK men’s soccerteam. But when the game is on the line, thereis no one the team trusts more than Williams.

“Dan wins games,” UK head coach IanCollins said of the keeper earlier this year.“He is able to perform in the clutch frequentlywhich sets him apart from other keepers in thenation. Dan is one of the best in the country athis position.”

Though Williams has played soccer formost of his life, he has been a keeper for onlyseven years.

“I have been playing soccer since I wasfour,” Williams said, “But, I didn’t start beinga goalie until I was a sophomore in highschool. Both my club team’s and high schoolgoalies weren’t very good so one day I wasasked to play it.”

Williams never looked back from there.He played goalie for the remainder of highschool. His play soon drew the attention of

Collins, who heard about Williams through anold friend of his.

Williams made an immediate impact. In2006, his first year with the team, Williamswas named to third-team Conference USAalong with All-Freshman Team honors.

“When I came here, I didn’t know what toexpect,” Williams said. “I just wanted to cometo UK to play soccer and earn my degree.”

The good times, however, did not last longfor the Cats.

The Cats were devastated early in the 2007campaign with injuries, which put a great dealof pressure on Williams. With no offense toproduce goal support, the fate of many gamesrested with Williams’ ability to defend the box.

“That year was tough,” Williams said. “Itried really hard not get frustrated with thingsand train as hard as possible to make up forwhat the team was lacking. But, I took lastseason as a learning experience.”

Going into his junior campaign, Williamswas elected by his teammates to be one of thethree team captains for the 2008 season.

Rice and his other teammates point outthat despite not being vocal, Williams leads byexample. Williams put up a 0.81 goals againstaverage, fourth-best for a single season inschool history, in 2008.

“I am without a doubt more confident than Iused to be,” Williams said. “When I was a fresh-man, (it) took a while for me to get comfortablein the goal, but now it’s just second nature.”

Going into 2009, Williams and the rest ofthe Cats wanted to take the team to the nextlevel by making the NCAA Tournament.Williams, Rice and Griffiths were once againchosen to be the squad’s captains. And onceagain. Williams accepted the role to lead his

team.“Dan is fearless,” Collins said. “He con-

stantly puts himself in dangerous positions,but that’s good because you want your keeperto be a little bit crazy.”

Williams has 28 saves and three shutoutsthis year while helping the Cats post an 8-4-0record.

“Our practice routine has helped me getbetter over the years,” Williams said. “Goaliesreport early to practice, so we’re all warmed up

by the time the other guys get here. Then wework on ball possession and game situations.”

Though UK has been in a slump as of late,losing three out of its four last games,Williams has faith the Cats will finish well atseason’s end.

“When this team plays well, no one canstop us,” Williams said. “Look out for us to goon a run the next few games. There is nodoubt in my mind, we will win the confer-ence.”

UK head coach on goalkeeper Dan Williams

Was it worth it? $3.25 million to fire someone. It’s hard to find a better

severance package. After two years of character issues, 40 wins and 27 loss-

es, Billy Gillispie was fired on March 27 for not fulfilling theexpectations of a UK head coach, according to an Oct. 14Kernel article.

“There was a lack of understanding that this job is morethan games and recruiting,” UK President Lee Todd said in aMarch 27 news conference. “You have to be an ambassadorto this program and university.”

After the end of the season, the UK Athletics Association,namely Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart, determinedGillispie had failed in that capacity.

Gillispie’s character was further damaged after he was ar-rested and charged with drunken driving on Aug. 27. Thiswas the third time he had been arrested on drunken drivingcharges. Did UK not look at these events and question hispotential “ambassador” status at the university?

If Gillispie really did enough to get fired, then why doesUKAA have to pony up over $3 million to make him leave?In having to pay him that much money, it seems that UKAAdid not have a strong enough case to fire him in the firstplace.

And what about the money? UKAA is a separate entityfrom UK, which means it creates its own revenue and spendsits own money. So while it’s not a direct hit to the university,it’s still a problem to the pocketbook.

What will $3.25 million get you? For starters, new facil-ities for the athletes can be funded, which in turn gets betterathletes, which leads to better teams, which leads to morerevenue being generated.

Additionally, UKAA gives a portion of its budget annual-ly to the general scholarship fund for the entire university.Think about how much more they could have given to theuniversity with $3.25 million laying around in the budget.

When will this come to an end? Paying coaches out-landish amounts of money to coach and then firing them witha large buyout is not the headache UK needs. The UK men’sbasketball coach may have to be an ambassador for the univer-sity, but when will UKAA step up and be a role model for itsstudents? Irresponsible hirings need to stop because as muchas the basketball coach is an ambassador for the university, thecoach is also a reflection of the people who hired him.

For the openingscenario to this article, the opportu-nity cost of choosing the $1,000 –as most people would blindly pick– is $5,368,709.12, which is thevalue of a penny a day doubled fora 30-day month. Such is the beautyof compounded interest and in thiscase a 100 percent interest rate.

Why is this relevant? For onesimple reason – there are opportuni-ty costs to each and every dollar wespend, even as typically poor col-lege students. As poor college stu-dents, we make some decisionsevery single day that cost us in thefuture, whether we know it or not.

As an example, take the moneyspent on alcohol and cigarettes for atypical college student over thecourse of a year. Assuming – andthis is only an assumption for thesake of proving a point – that as acollege student, you spend $20 aweek on booze (a case of BudLight in cans typically sells foraround $18) and an additional $5for a pack of cigarettes.

Assuredly, this is a very highestimate for some of you, and avery low estimate for others. Also,rest assured that this article is notmeant to sound preachy or con-

demn people for partying while incollege – I certainly did, to little re-gret. However, this $25 spent in aweek’s time on these vices amountsto $1,300 in the course of a year.

Now let’s revisit the ideas ofopportunity cost and compoundinginterest. If a college student openedup a Roth Individual RetirementAccount (IRA), which is a collec-tion of investments in differenttypes of securities such as stocks ormutual funds that together make upan individual retirement account, heor she could place this $1,300 inthe account over the course of ayear’s time.

Assuming that this account isstarted at age 18 in college with anexpected retirement age of 60, andassuming that the $1,300 contribu-tion was made each year for 42 to-tal contributions, with an 8 percentannual rate of return, the contribu-tions would grow to $395,517, as-suming a 3 percent inflation rate (or$175,801 with inflation taken out ofthe picture).

It may seem trivial to considerretirement as a college student, sothe numbers above may not seem tobe that big of a deal – you can al-ways save for retirement later,

right? The fact of the matter, how-ever, is that Roth IRA accounts aremost beneficial to people who be-gin investing earlier as opposed tolater.

For example, with the same as-sumptions as before, if you wait un-til you are somewhat established tobegin contributing to the same ac-count and start making your $1,300payment at age 30 as opposed toage 18, the value of the Roth IRAat age 60 drops to $147,268 beforeinflation — a decrease of over 60percent. Basically, the money wespend to party in college is costingus not only the money we couldhave upon retirement, but also theprime years in which to be invest-ing for the future – definitely some-thing to think about next time youswing by Liquor Barn.

Of course, our friends at theIRS have put some caveats on usingRoth IRAs. The maximum allowedin a given year to contribute is$5,000 or as much money as youhave earned in income over thecourse of the year.

For example, if your annual in-come is $2,500, then that is themaximum contribution you canmake that tax year. So for those of

you without a job, there is an op-portunity cost of being unemployedin college, as well. Finally, contri-butions to Roth IRAs must cease iftheir holder’s modified adjustedgross income exceeds $120,000, butif you are making that kind of mon-ey in college, your retirement maybe more secure than an IRA couldprovide.

Once again, this is a pure hu-man interest article, not a call toquit drinking or partying in college.I did my share of partying but havealso contributed to a Roth IRA ac-count since I was 14 years old, so abalance can be made if you planwisely. If you decide that a RothIRA is for you – and you want yourmoney to start working for you, notthe other way around – then go to areputable and secure financial, in-surance or investment institutionsuch as Chase, State Farm, or WellsFargo and tell them you are readyto seize the opportunity cost of be-ing a college student. As with thepenny doubled for a month, youjust may be surprised by the returnon this investment.

Awards leave much to be desiredIn the end, it’s all much ado about

nothing. I’m talking of course, aboutawards. Every single one of them, from

the Nobel Prize to theHeisman Trophy, doesnot really amount tomuch. Just a few peo-ple getting togetherand deciding to givesomeone a plaque andmaybe some cash.

They’re all biasedand given to thewrong people some-times, but it is nothingto get worked upabout. They only re-

flect the opinion of those that grantthem, and I refuse to generate personaloutrage about how others feel likespending their resources to honor.

President Obama won a Nobel Prizefor giving some speeches. That’s greatnews for him. I hope he enjoys his re-wards. If I was giving out the award,would I have given it to him though?Absolutely not; however, I am not amember of the Nobel Award committeeand who they choose to honor has nobearing upon me and my beliefs.

Just because they choose to honorthe president does not create reflectionof praise from the entire world. Whenawards become prestigious enough,they seem to take on a life of their ownthough. It’s no longer enough that theyreflect the thoughts and feelings of theawarders, but instead they must speakfor the entirety of humanity.

Just look at the Heisman Trophy.What began as an award given by aglorified gym in the Northeast is nowviewed as the greatest honor possiblefor a college football player. This ofcourse causes a great deal of consterna-tion among people who do not think thebest player in college football is a quar-terback with excellent stats from astrong team in a major conference everyyear.

But why the stressing about whogets it every year? It’s clearly biasedand voted on only by a small smatteringof sports people throughout the country,but mankind has seemingly decided italone must reflect the beliefs of entirenation. In reality though, it is simplyone award of many which society hasassigning high value.

The Nobel Prize germinates fromthe creator of dynamite’s will. Yet, sinceits founding society has decided that itis one of the most important honors anyperson can receive. Out of the millionsof awards thrown about every year, itsomehow became important above allothers.

As soon as one realizes that theseawards in no way represent anyone ex-cept those who give the awards, there issimply no reason to become agitatedwhen they are not given to your favoredchoice. If the award is poor, then quitpaying attention to it. If everyone fol-lowed that one simple rule, the powerof awards to rule over people so pas-sionately would evaporate.

If you believe the Nobel Prize is a

sham, then ignore it. If enough peopleagree with you, then it will fade out ofimportance to society. The HeismanTrophy is a terrible representation ofcollege football? Then quit obsessingabout it, and it will fade into the back-ground along with the myriad of othercollege football player of the yearawards.

It is the height of laziness to pick arandom award in every category of pos-sible honor, and decide that one awardwill be the highest standard in the field.Awards are generated by a given groupof people, represent their beliefs and bi-ases and under ideal thinking should benothing more.

There are solutions even if one feelsthat the wrong person has been hon-ored. Nothing stops average Joe fromtaking some scrap medal and fashioninghis own award for however he feels de-serves accolades for their accomplish-ments. If you lack expertise, people willprobably think you are mad, but it sure-ly represents you better than an awardgiven in Sweden.

But, there is no point in getting bentout of shape about who does or doesnot receive any award. Any award hasonly the power we choose to give it. Ifit is not worthwhile, then it will fadeinto obscurity. Having a conniption fitis never the correct protest. Instead,simply don’t even acknowledge it everhappened.

Housing proposalbenefits nobody

! LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The housing proposal, asit currently stands, is goodfor no one.

It leaves property own-ers with empty homes, stu-dents with no place to liveand creates far more prob-lems than it ever hoped tosolve.

The fact is that this plansimply does not work forLexington. There is undeni-ably a problem with housingnear campus; these buildingsare old and deteriorating andmany of them are truly un-livable and that is not ac-ceptable. But forcing stu-dents out of their homes andto the downtown neighbor-hood is not the answer.

The problems that weface are not a result of reck-

less behavior by students,but rather irresponsible land-lords who put profit abovepeople. Much fault also lieswith the city for its lack offoresight.

If we want safer hous-ing, let’s work with the Lex-ington-Fayette Urban Coun-ty Government to have moreinspections of rental proper-ties in order to make surethat students have a safeplace to call home. Let’s notforce an unbearable burdenupon the backs of studentsby making them live fartheraway from campus, but let’shold landlords responsiblefor the housing that theyprovide.

From the LFCHD, 27 volunteers signedup for the vaccine on Tuesday.

Jamie Ward, UK College of Public Healthgraduate student and a LFCHD nutritionist,volunteered for the vaccine. Ward said oncemore vaccines are available, mass clinics willbe organized to administer them to the Lex-ington community.

“I’m not sure (when), but (the LFCHD)

will work with UK to build those connectionsin the future,” Ward said.

UK Hospital safety officer Sharon Berrysaid the university will work with the LFCHDin either providing staff for large clinics orsponsoring one.

Berry said the vaccinations should be ar-riving at the LFCHD every two weeks if notmore often, but because of inconsistencieswith the arrival last week, she said no oneshould “bank on that.”

“Eventually there will be enough of thevaccine for everyone,” Berry said. “It’s justgoing to be slow in beginning.”

you’re not making sacrifices to live in oneof these homes,” Kellow said.

In the last three days of competition, thejudges, called juries, will continue to seehow the house maintains comfort by moni-toring the temperature and humidity of thehouse, and running tests to see if there isenough hot water for showers and dishwashers, Kellow said.

Kellow said while there are always op-portunities to do more, the team was well-

prepared and has done a good job puttingtogether a design that is effective for thecompetition.

The future of UK’s standing depends onhow the weather works in upcoming days,Kellow said.

“With any luck the engineering sectionwill be able to hold up their end of the dealwith the engineering side of things … hope-fully we’ll be able to stay in 13th or maybeeven get top 10,” Duddey said.

Employment is making acomeback.

Two-thirds of career coun-selors at U.S. colleges and uni-versities believe the job marketwill rebound by 2010, accord-ing to a survey recently re-leased by OneWire.com.

The other 33 percent sur-veyed do not foresee signifi-cant improvement until at least2011, the report said.

The survey comes at atime when unemployment inKentucky was measured at11.1 percent in August, accord-ing to the U.S. Department ofLabor’s Bureau of Labor Sta-

tistics. Nationwide unemploy-ment for September was at 9.8percent.

Francene Gilmer, assistantprovost for career education atUK and director of the JamesW. Stuckert Career Center, saidshe does not believe the turnfrom trouble is quite in sight.

“I think it will probably beanother two years for the mar-ket to turn around and for jobsto be more readily available,”Gilmer said.

One problem graduates en-counter is competition for thesame jobs with workers whohave been laid off, Gilmer said.

“When I look at the stateof Kentucky, I see that ourstate unemployment is some-thing that needs to be attended

to,” she said. “It’s high. Whatare we going to do about it?

James S. Fackler, a profes-sor in the economics depart-ment in the Gatton College ofBusiness and Economics, saidsigns of job market recoveryare unlikely to be seen until thesecond half of 2010.

Not all students believetheir ability to get a job will begreatly affected. Josh Stamper,a biology junior studying tobecome a dentist, said his cho-sen field is in desperate need ofworkers.

“I think it’s part of theprocess,” Stamper said.“Things have to go down forthem to go back up. There’s ahistory of that—it follows thesame pattern.”

that much,” Barnes said. “It’s for the benefit ofeverybody even though I don’t agree with it.”

Jacob Gatewood, an undeclared sopho-more, said he felt the amount Gillispie wasawarded was completely undeserved.

“They shouldn’t have given him a dime,”Gatewood said. “I don’t think he ever workedfor it. He just seemed like an alcoholic to me.”

Gillispie was 40-27 in two years coachingthe Cats. UK missed the NCAA tournament in2009 for the first time since 1991.

Gillispie’s attorneys could not be reachedfor comment Tuesday night. In the news re-lease, UK officials said the university wouldhave no further comment on the matter.

On Aug. 27 Gillispie was arrested andcharged with drunken driving in AndersonCounty, Ky. He checked himself into the JohnLucas Aftercare Program on Sept. 8. His DUItrial dates are tentatively set for February2010.
