PHOTO BY GRACE PROFANCIK | STAFFAnthony Ogden returned to UK as the new Director of Education Abroad at the beginning of the fall 2010 semester. Ogden came from Penn.State as the Associate Director of their Education Abroad program.

TRAVELING THE WORLD

A Kentucky native has re-turned home after years spentabroad to be UK’s Director ofEducation Abroad.

Anthony Ogden, original-ly from Shepherdsville, Ky.,started his new position thisAugust in the Office of Inter-national Affairs. He spent thesummer in Japan and the pastseven years working at Penn-sylvania State University asthe Associate Director of Ed-ucation Abroad.

“I’m coming home after20-plus years,” Ogden said.“It’s good to be back.”

In those 20 years, Ogdenhas lived and traveled all overthe world, including manyyears in Asia, Australia,

Africa and Europe. He saidthough he was offered severalother jobs, he chose UK be-cause there is not a long his-tory of international educa-tion at UK.

“Every UK student needsto graduate having some in-ternational understanding andthat’s why I chose Universityof Kentucky,” Ogden said.

As the new director of theprogram, Ogden said he hasmultiple goals for studyabroad.

One of his strategies is tohave a diverse array of pro-grams, but he specificallywants to increase the numberof programs led by UK facul-ty.

Faculty-led trips consistof a UK faculty member tak-ing a group abroad, lasting

anywhere from two to eightweeks. Currently, UK has 20programs led by UK facultyper year and Ogden said hewants to triple that number.

“We are working towardmuch higher goals than wehave ever had,” said IoanaCosoreanu, Education AbroadOffice and Data Manager.

Cosoreanu has workedwith Ogden since he came toUK and said he is a “highlymotivated and a detailed ori-ented person.”

She said she is lookingforward to seeing how theirefforts help to increase thenumber of students goingabroad.

Alla Arnold, FinancialManager of EducationAbroad, said she is also eagerto see how Ogden’s changes

will work out.“We all want to see high

enrollment,” Arnold said.Increasing enrollment is

just one of the tasks on thelist for Ogden to work on.Currently, the office is prepar-ing for the annual EducationAbroad Fair and they havebeen passing out flyers to stu-dents to advertise.

Ogden said he is also ex-cited to be at UK because thesystem for education abroadis strong.

“I think one of the rea-sons why I chose to comehere is because the stars arealigning here at the Universi-ty of Kentucky. UK is puttingtheir support behind interna-tional education…The sys-tems are in place and we are

UK students, faculty andstaff woke up to a UK Alertsystem notification abouttwo robberies near campusTuesday morning..

One robbery occurred onthe intersection of OldhamCourt and Columbia Avenueat 2:46 a.m. Tuesday, andthe other occurred a minutelater at 447 PennsylvaniaAve. Suspects in both inci-dents had similar descrip-tions.

The alerts were sent 21minutes after the first inci-dent.

Therese Smith, emer-gency management special-ist, said in an e-mail that theUKPD shift commander sentout the UK Alert.

UK Police Chief JoeMonroe said the victim inthe first incident was walk-ing home at 2:45 a.m.

“The victim said he waswalking down the sidewalkfrom W.T. Young [Library],”Monroe said. “He walked to-ward Columbia Avenue

when he was approached bytwo male black subjects.”

One suspect continuedwalking, while the otherwent to the victim and toldhim to get down and givehim everything, Monroesaid.

The second subject re-turned to help the other, whohad the weapon. The victimcomplied, giving him hisbackpack with laptop, booksand other items as well ashis wallet and iPhone.

Another robbery oc-curred just after, farther fromcampus, Monroe said. Thesecond victim did not get agood look at the suspect’sface, just his clothing.

“The victim was ap-proached by a black malewearing a sweat shirt, shortsand tennis shoes,” Monroesaid.

The second victim’s wal-let and phone were taken inthe robbery, Monroe said.

Because of the proximityand timing of the two rob-beries, they could be related,

Slap, clap, thump, jumpand groove – Step Afrika ismaking its way to the Single-tary Center Wednesday.

“Stepping,” a blend oftap, dance, rhythm and cultur-al richness has been a staplein African American pop cul-ture for years.

It has grown over theyears to embody the tradi-tions of many African-Ameri-can fraternities and sororities,but few acts are as wellknown and respected world-wide as Step Afrika.

The first professionaldance company of its kind,the organization also servesas a cultural ambassador andeducational resource to helpbridge the gap between thecultures of the United States

and South Africa.According to its website,

the company describes itselfas a “model for the use ofstepping in educational set-tings, espousing themes suchas teamwork, academicachievement and cross-cultur-al understanding.”

Ginai Clarkson, CompanyManager of Step Afrika, saysthat the company is focusedon entertainment but also

works diligently to get stu-dents excited to academics,graduation and the college ex-perience as a whole.

“We are very excited toreturn to the University ofKentucky,” Clarkson said.“We would like to thank(UK) for having us back.We’re looking forward to en-tertaining the student body.”

What Step Afrika is todayis the culmination of manyyears of interaction with thepeople of South Afrika duringthe annual Step Afrika Inter-national Cultural Festival inJohannesburg, where StepAfrika partners with theSoweto Dance Theatre toswap dance styles fromaround the world and to dif-fuse those cultures.

Thanks to the long run-

Campus sees three robberiesin two weeks

UK is committed to mak-ing a difference beyond theborders of its campus. Butonly 1.19 percent of collegestudents breach these bordersand study abroad, accordingto the Association of Interna-tional Educators.

UK will address this issueWednesday with the 2010 Ed-ucation Abroad Fair. The fairwill be held from 10:30 a.m.to 3 p.m. in the Student Cen-ter Grand Ballroom.

The fair is designed so stu-dents can learn about all of theinternational programs UK has

to offer, including internation-al exchanges, staff-led studyabroad and third-party pro-grams. There will also be liveinternational entertainment,free t-shirts and prizes.

“Our goal for the fair isto launch the EducationAbroad series for the yearand to encourage UK stu-dents and faculty to interna-tionalize the undergraduateexperience,” said AnthonyOgden, the new EducationAbroad Director at UK.

Ogden said he also hopesthe fair will dispel many ofthe misconceptions associat-ed with studying abroad.

“UK students don’tstudy abroad as much asthey should. We have a lotof students say they areafraid of cost or time con-straints,” he said. “The fairis a wonderful opportunityto learn the truth about these‘myths’ of EducationAbroad. The truth is that UKhas programs for any disci-pline, any length of time,any place in the world.”

Fashion is having a bitof an identity crisis this fall.The military-tough, almoststreet-warrior vibe is stillgoing strong with cargopants, utility jackets and tai-lored coats, while fur (bothreal and faux) is aggressive-ly adorning almost every-thing from boots to anorakcollars. But on the flip sideof this heavy, edgy approachto fall dressing is the sea-son's pulled-together 1950saesthetic, inspired by the la-dylike look of that decade.

Call it a yearning forsimpler times, when womenwore skirts that hit belowthe knee and the only boxything was a pillbox hat. Fallcollections from Louis Vuit-

ton and Marc Jacobs look tothis woman, with longerskirts that fit at the waistand fall full to the shin.

"With fashion, I person-ally find it sexy when some-one doesn't show a lot ofskin, but rather the curvesand shape of the body," saysRade, who implements thistechnique flawlessly on herclient Angelina Jolie. Shewarns that to wear theselonger skirts you must bal-ance the overall look bywearing something smalleror fitted on top and perhapsaccentuating the waist witha bow belt.

Fuzzy sweaters can belayered over cocktail-lengthfloral skirts and dresses to

push summer pieces into thecooler months. Leopard-print accents will add charmto a solid gray or blacksweater or a tweed dress.

"For warmer climates,look for lighter weights andplay with the idea of an up-dated twin set," says SimonKneen, creative director andexecutive vice president ofdesign for Banana Republic.He adds that mixing up clas-sic cardigans with crazyjewelry or knotted scarves iskey, especially when follow-ing this 1950s trend. "Don'ttake the ladylike look tooliterally," Kneen says. "As itcan age even the youngest."

moving forward,” Ogdensaid.

Apart from his role to en-courage students to goabroad, Ogden continuallyworks on other things relatedto international education.

In October, he will betraveling to Argentina wherethe Argentine governmentwill show him universities soUnited States students willtravel there. He said part of

his professional role is toevaluate programs in variouscountries, ranging from theMiddle East to the Mediter-ranean to Europe.

Ogden also conducts re-search documenting the out-comes of studying abroad.He said that study abroad forhim is not just a professionbecause he is an “academicof outcomes assessment re-search.”

“Many people thinkstudy abroad is a good thing.I want to prove it,” Ogdensaid. His research can befound in one of his recently

published books, titled “Edu-cation Abroad and the Mak-ing of Global Citizens.”

Though Ogden’s re-search has taken him all overthe world, he said that Japanis his favorite place and hasbecome a second home tohim.

As for his first home,Ogden is settling back in andsaid he is excited to recon-nect with Kentucky.

“I’m looking forward tointroducing Kentucky to theworld,” Ogden said. “And Isure want to see more Ken-tuckians in the world.”

Monroe said.Police believe the sus-

pect in the second incidenthad a weapon as well andthink it might have been anair assault rifle.

Monroe said he is unsureif the robberies are related.

Last week a student wasrobbed at the intersection ofRose Street and FunkhouserDrive at 2:45 a.m.

According to the UKAlert sent last week, thatsuspect was a black male,approximately 150 pounds,20 to 30 years of age withshort or no hair. He was lastseen wearing jeans.

Monroe said students needto avoid situations that putthem at risk.

“The number one thingis don’t get yourself in thatsituation,” Monroe said.

“Don’t walk alone. Usepairs if possible.”

UK Police officers areincreasing patrols aroundrecent crime scenes.

“We’re going to look atthis and do some otherthings, whether it’s extra pa-trols or actually initiating thenew hours on our escorts,”Monroe said. “We’re lookingat a couple different initia-tives to try and combat that.”

UK Police have stream-lined the process for gettingUK Alerts sent out, so stu-dents, faculty and staff getthe alerts as quickly as pos-sible, Monroe said.

Dispatchers now havethe ability to fill in an on-line template that sends in-formation to EmergencyManagement Services to besent out in various forms.

If anyone has informa-tion about any of the recentrobberies please contactUKPD by calling (859)257-UKPD (8573).

ning festival, audience mem-bers should expect plenty ofunique dance during the per-fromances.

Clarkson advises atten-dees to expect an “excitingand slam packed show” thatwill act as a “cultural ex-change of different styles ofpercussive dance from aroundthe world.” Everything fromZulu and African Gumboot,performed by dancers wearingWellington-style rubber-boots,to traditional hip-hop andstepping will be a part of theshow.

The team of dancers iscomprised of 11 members,who hail from all differentparts of the U.S. While theytour 150 cities yearly, theirUK visit is a part of the annu-al 50-city tour of Americancolleges and universities.

Step Afrika has beenaround since 1994 and haveperformed in various loca-tions around the world includ-ing North and South America,Europe, Africa and theCaribbean.

The Washington-basedperformance company hasalso been featured in culturaldance documentaries and onmany television and radio sa-tiations, including CNN, BET,PBS and NPR. the

from going abroad,” Cunning-ham said. “We, as advisers, willhelp students get all of the in-formation they need to over-come any of these barriers.”

If students are unable to stopby the fair, more EducationAbroad events will be heldthroughout the year. Theseevents will include sessionsspecifically tailored to differentregions and themes. For exam-ple, a showcase of study abroadopportunities in Japan will beheld Oct. 7. Another eventscheduled for the early springwill promote summer programsabroad.

In the meantime, studentscan get a headstart on apply-ing for study abroad by at-tending an Education AbroadFirst Step Session. Thesesessions are held on Mon-days and Tuesdays from 4 to

5 p.m. and Wednesdays andThursdays from 3 to 4 p.m.in Bradley Hall, room 207.

Students can also drop bythe Education Abroad officeduring the week from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m. to browse the re-source room, talk with staff ordiscuss trip plans with the Ed-ucation Abroad Peer Advisers.

“As an (Education AbroadPeer Adviser), I’m here to an-swer questions and help studentsfind education abroad opportuni-ties that match their interests,”said senior Jill Dobler, who stud-ied in Ireland during the 2010spring semester. “Study abroadwas life-changing for me. I wantto be able to share that experi-ence with other students.”

Free assembly enables groupAn often overlooked

part of the First Amend-ment is the right of free as-sembly and association.

This component of theFirst Amendment holds spe-cial significance toLGBTQQIA students at theUniversity of Kentucky be-cause of the struggles stu-dents undertook to createstudent organizations andhave them recognized bythe administration.

The first attempt to startan LGBT student group atUK was with the Gay-Lib-eration Front in 1971. TheSingletary administrationrefused their application forrecognition as a studentgroup on campus and theprivileges that status afford-ed, namely the right to hostevents on campus.

However, events wereput on through StudentGovernment and the FreeUniversity movement.

Unfortunately, queerstudents still had no groupto declare their own norspace with which to organ-ize because the university

actively denied them theirright to association.

The university refusedto grant recognition becausesexual acts between twopeople of the same sexwere illegal at the time. Theadministration wrongly as-sumed that this would bethe only function of anyqueer student group, a lineof logic supported by thestate attorney general andthe courts.

This denial of free asso-ciation limited many otherFirst Amendment rights.

Without free associationLGBT students could notorganize and petition forchanges in the laws thatmade being gay illegal. Agroup has more ability topetition for change than anindividual.

Without free associationstudents would have to ad-vocate as individuals, in-evitably outing themselvesand exposing themselves toall the negative conse-quences that entailed.

Today students worryabout potential employersseeing party pictures onFacebook, but back then apro-gay letter to the editorcould get you fired. Itwould make more sense fora student group to publish acollective letter but theywere unable. The denial offree association actively de-

nied students their right tofree speech.

Today students almosttake for granted the right toform student groups. UKcounts amongst its groupseverything from libertariansto socialists, club rugby toQuidditch. The campus isstill fraught with challengesto the First Amendment,most with a large amount ofgray area.

Does the universityhave the authority to createa free speech zone?

Is smoking on campus alegitimate form of protestagainst the smoking ban?

Why is it so difficult forstudents to publicly voiceopinions at Board ofTrustees meetings?

Strides have been madein advancing students' FirstAmendment rights on thecollege campus but there isstill unexplored territory.

Instead of taking ourrights for granted it is ourduty to push and expandthem.

We have been affordedthe rights denied to our stu-dent forebears; why not useit for the liberty of thoseyet to pass through the Uni-versity of Kentucky?

Yelling sends mixed messageThroughout the course of

history, humanity has slowlyrealized that certain thingswork and certain things

don’t work.

There are actions thatare generally helpful and ac-tions that are terribly un-helpful. Screaming is one ofthose things that just doesn’tseem to do much.

However, not everyonenotices this.

UK found itself host tosuch a person this week, andI was graced with the oppor-tunity to walk by him on myway to class.

As I went past, catchinga few loud sentences andposed questions, I compileda list in my head of thingsthat he did and did notevoke in me.

There were definitely afew immediate reactions.

At first I was slightlystartled. Usually, people yellat me because I’ve donesomething wrong.

For example, if I steppedon your pet frog, or rippedup your homework andstuck out my tongue at you,you would probably yell.This man, however, was

yelling simply because hecould — sort of disconcert-ing.

Secondly, I was a bit an-noyed. I had done nothing todeserve his seeming anger(not even stepped on his petfrog or ripped up his home-work!) and yet I received it.It just didn’t seem friendly.

What he didn’t evoke inme was a positive responseor curiosity. He spoke of hisreligion, but his yelling did-n’t invite me to ask him,“Oh really, that sounds inter-esting. What are you talkingabout?” Instead, I wanted toscamper away.

If you’re trying to inter-est people in what your reli-gion or ideology has to of-fer, shouldn’t you do it in amore inviting way?

It just so happened thatafter this encounter, I hadanother similar, yet entirelydifferent encounter. I metwith a few people, also in-terested in sharing their spir-itual ideas, and was shownan entirely different ap-proach.

Rather than having infor-mation shouted at me as Iscurried to English, I wasencouraged to ask questions.The result was people effec-tively sharing their ideas,and I was able to receivethem with curiosity and in-terest versus the desire torun away quickly.

The key here is openness

on the part of the giver andthe receiver of opinion, es-pecially in the realm of reli-gion.

Each of the world’sphilosophies has somethingto offer. The unique ways ofthinking, the intriguing cul-tural concepts, the storiesand lessons — all are valu-able and interesting if youtake the time to look.

However, it’s impossiblefor the beauty of each andevery religion to spread ifit’s being shouted ratherthan shared.

When you find yourselfsharing your ideas, use log-ic.

If you want a kid to eatvegetables, waving aspara-gus wildly in his face whilescreaming about how incred-ibly awesome it is will prob-ably not work (and may re-sult in expensive therapysessions later in life).

If you want the kid tolearn about asparagus youshould probably nicely gethim to try it. If he reallyloves it, that’s great. Butmaybe he won’t fancy it —he can move on to othervegetables. That’s okay.

So, when sharing aspara-gus (or religion), rememberbasic ideas about how toshare with others successful-ly. And please, don’t yell.

Google has gone too farthis time.

During my daily Googlesearch of my own name(wait, what? That’s not nor-mal?), I also began a seem-ingly harmless query with“Why can’t…” and Googlesuggested that I probablywanted to type “Why can’t Iown a Canadian?”

I couldn’t believe what Iwas seeing. I thought myeyes were playing Canadiantricks on me. Specifically,the kind of trick that makesme see malarkey when itdoesn’t exist.

Try again, I thought. So,once again, I typed “Whycan’t…” and once againGoogle suggested that I wasprobably shooting for “Whycan’t I own a Canadian?”

There the words stood,

just staring at me, rightabove other pressing lifequestions like “Why can’t Iget pregnant?” and “Whycan’t dogs eat chocolate?”

That’s messed up,Google.

Naturally, I resorted toname calling after Googlehad offended me. I was hurt,so I told Google exactlywhat I thought of it.

I smacked my keyboardand eventually typed “You’refat!” into the Google searchbar.

Google snidely replied,“Do you mean phat?”

Needless to say, I wasfuming. Google was any-thing but “pretty hot andtempting” after insulting menot once, but twice, in a mat-ter of minutes. I put my headdown on the computer deskand wept. I didn’t even feellike finishing my game ofsolitaire.

Later, before I indulgedin my nightcap, I turned tomy faithful butler Jeeves,who used to be a relevant

search engine, for consola-tion. When I began askingJeeves “Why can’t…” thequestion of why Canadianscan’t be owned didn’t popup. Oh, Jeeves, you serve mewell good sir.

Clearly, only Google hadforgotten that the 13thAmendment states that slav-ery is a major no-no in thiscountry. For crying out loud,Constitution Day came andwent just last week.

And did you know thatbecause of French andBritish colonists, slavery alsoexisted in Canada, but then itwas abolished in the 1830sbecause it’s not good? Sorryto disappoint all of you inthe market for one of mypeople.

If you’re not deterred bythe supreme law of this land,also consider the tough eco-nomic times: It’d take waytoo many dolla dolla bills toown a Canadian, and thoughmy readers have champagnetaste, they more than likelyhave beer money.

Plus, it is dangerous topurchase and domesticate aCanadian only to release itinto the wild when it out-grows its cage. At that point,a Canadian will have forgot-ten how to forage for its ownfood, will start rummagingthrough trash cans in urbanareas and then authoritieswill have to put it down.

Contrary to Google’s of-fensive suggestion, I cannotand will not be had for aprice in life. I am a man ofintegrity. I am Nick Crad-dock, hear me roar.

However, if you offer metwo pieces of chewing gum(sugar-free, of course), a pa-per clip and a gift certificateto a Bass Pro Shop maybewe can work something outregarding potential owner-ship.

Canucks shouldn’t use Google

For UK, Saturday's South-eastern Conference openeragainst Florida gives the Catsmore than just the opportunity tomove to 4-0.

A win over the No. 9 Gators(3-0, 1-0 SEC) would jumpstartthe Cats in conference play andcontinue the honeymoon periodfor UK head coach JokerPhillips. But most importantly,beating Florida would put theCats on the map nationally.

"If you beat a top-10 teamand you're unranked, you're go-ing to get attention no matterwho you are," senior quarterbackMike Hartline said. "I knowwe've gotten some (attention) justbecause of our production on of-fense, but that doesn't extend as

far as a win. And we need to winagainst Florida, we need to beatSEC teams. If we don't thenwe're just the same program weused to be."

Three years ago, UK beatthen No. 9 ranked Louisville afterblowing out two lesser opponentsto open the season. That gamecatapulted UK into the nationalrankings and gave the programthe kind of credibility and atten-tion it hadn't received for years.

"Louisville, not to say thatthey're less of an opponent, butFlorida has won national cham-pionships," said senior linebackerRonnie Sneed, a native of Flori-da. "This is what I signed to playin the SEC for. I didn't come hereto play Louisville. I came here toplay these big SEC schools andget these wins."

The game could mean much

more to other individual playersas well.

"This is a huge game becauseif we can get those guys like thatto play well, we're going to winthe game," Sneed said. "If we canget our offense clicking like thatand our defense steps up like thelast game, it's going to be a victo-ry."

Securing the victory meanscontending with a raucouscrowd of over 90,000 at BenHill Griffin Stadium, betterknown as "The Swamp." TheCats will be practicing with sim-ulated crowd noise blared overloud speakers at the NutterTraining Facility, but Hartlinesaid nothing can quite prepareplayers for the atmosphere onthe road in the SEC.

"It's big for everybody,"Hartline said. "Even for the guys

that aren't traveling. There's sometype of self-awareness for thisprogram to kick off, especiallywith Coach Phillips as a newhead coach and with how longwe haven't beaten them."

If the Cats can overcome allthat and find a way to beat Flori-da for the first time in 24 years,though, it will mean more thanjust a 4-0 start.

"It puts us on the map," Hart-line said. "It shows us that westill can win big games and we'renot just somebody that beat threeteams at the beginning of the sea-son."

A victory in Gainesville would silence critics
