Student Government announced a newdriving program that will bus students homefor free during high-risk traffic hours.

The Cats Cruiser program will begin Jan.13. The program will have a fleet of four 17-passenger buses on four fixed routes Thursdaythrough Saturday from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m duringthe academic year when classes are in session.

The service will circulate every 20-30 min-utes and allow students to return to campus orsurrounding neighborhoods. Non-students canuse the service for $1.

“Safety and transportation are always con-cerns of students,” SG Vice President KelseyHayes said.

The prorgam will cost $172,000, and$85,000 of that will come out of SG’s budget,SG Deputy Chief of Staff Max Stefka said.The figure is roughly 17 percent of the SG’sbudget. The university will provide the other$87,000.

Stefka said a budget surplus from last yearand student input made the program possible.

“Planning for this program began last yearafter we heard comments from students,” Stef-ka said.

Several other universities offer a similarservice, including Auburn University, Pennsyl-vania State University and the University ofFlorida, Stefka said in November.

UK is partnering with LexTran to ensurethe safest transit for students, Stefka said.

“Providing this service is precisely what theydo,” he said. “This ensures that the program willbe carried out in a professional manner.”

LexTran General Manager Rocky Burkesaid the company will provide the buses anddrivers. Off-duty police officers will be sta-tioned on the buses as well.

LexTran has leased one new bus and willsupply three others for the program, Burkesaid.

“I’m excited to be part of this,” he said.The buses operate as regular LexTran vehi-

cles and will fall under the same insurance pol-icy, Burke said.

In creating the program, SG and LexTranworked with local neighborhood associations

UK students with vehicles parked on“Snow Emergency” routes may need to movetheir cars if Lexington declares a snow emer-gency.

Lexington Division of Police is asking stu-dents to consider moving their cars from snowroutes to allow for adequate snow removal, ac-cording to an e-mail from the UK Police De-partment.

The city is aware of a snowstorm movingacross the Midwest and wants students to beaware if they need to move their cars, the e-mail said.

PHOTO BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFFUK freshman forward Terrence Jones lays in a basket in the first half of UK's win over the AuburnTigers at Rupp Arena on Jan. 11, 2011.

It came perfectly full circle. TerrenceJones had started the game on the bench, anunfamiliar spot for the usual starter. He wasinserted into the game a little under four min-utes into the game. He was taken out of thegame with a little over two minutes left.

In between, he broke the UK freshmanscoring record with 35 points. On the wayout, with a standing ovation surrounding him,Jones passed Doron Lamb, who had held therecord for all of four games.

“I told him ‘I’m sorry,’” Jones said to histeammate.

Lamb didn’t care. Neither did anybodyelse. The 35 points led No. 13 UK (13-3, 1-1SEC) past Auburn (7-9, 0-2 SEC) 78-54.

The record-breaking game almost didn’thappen. Jones was battling a sinus infection,and he said the decision on if he could playwas left up to the trainer in the morning. Thesickness, which Jones said left him coughingup mucus and blood, was the primary reasonJones started on the bench.

“(UK head coach John) Calipari told menot to use the excuse that I was sick,” Jonessaid.

No excuses were needed after a night likethat. Jones added eight rebounds, which Cali-pari applauded more than the points after thegame. He tied the record on a three-pointerand broke it on a free throw. On the night,Jones made 4 of 5 threes, and got to the free-throw line 13 times. And he hit a buzzer-beat-ing 3-pointer at halftime.

“Yeah, that’s the best feeling, (with theclock) 5, 4, 3,” Jones said. “I wasn’t going tolet that one (go).”

The 35 points and eight rebounds werethe type of numbers he posted at the begin-ning of the year, the type that had thrust Jonesinto the Player of the Year debate early in theyear. But he had cooled off recently, to thepoint where Calipari had mentioned the pos-sibility of having him come off the bench af-ter the loss to Georgia.

“Terrence is having to live up to how heplayed in Hawaii and Notre Dame,” Caliparisaid. “Every game he plays, he’s judgedagainst those performances.”

It was a bounce back performance forJones, and a bounce back game for UK, aswell, after losing to Georgia in its SEC open-er. Auburn had scored six points in the first

A late start didn’t slow downfreshman forward TerrenceJones.

After a handful of sluggishstarts this season, Jones foundhimself on the bench duringtip-off for the first time thisseason. In past games in whichJones had slow starts, namelySaturday’s game in Georgia, hestill found a way to post hisusual double-double. Tuesdaynight he took it to a whole newlevel.

Jones was uncertain what hisavailability for the game wouldbe due to illness.

“I just had the mindset ofcoming in today trying to playmy hardest,” Jones said. “(UKhead coach John Calipari) toldme not to use the excuse that Iwas sick. I didn’t practice yester-day, so I didn’t know how muchI was going to be able to play to-day, how much the trainer wasgoing to let me play.”

Despite not seeing the flooruntil the fifteen-minute mark ofthe first half, Jones posted 35points against Auburn, breakingthe freshman scoring record setby teammate Doron Lambagainst Winthrop in December.Before this season, the recordstood for 19 years since beingset by Jamal Mashburn in 1991.

“He had 35 today, broke myrecord,” Lamb said. “I don’tthink he can say he was sickanymore.”

Not only did Jones break therecord, but like Lamb, he did itcoming off the bench.

“He had 27 points with likeeight minutes to go,” Lamb said.“I knew he was going to breakit. I didn’t care though ... Younever know, somebody elsemight break it. You just have tokeep watching.”

Jones felt for his teammateand his short-lived record andthe two had a visible playful ex-change when Jones headed tothe bench for the last time.

“I told him ‘I’m sorry,’”Jones said.

Calipari threatened to sitJones at the start of games in re-sponse to his slow starts after the

One of UK's own is the latestpiece of the puzzle in Mayor JimGray's administration.

On Jan. 4, Gray announcedthe appointment of UK socialwork professor Beth Mills asCommissioner of Social Servic-es.

Mills, also the Director ofField Work for the College ofSocial Work, has been a profes-sor at UK since 2004, and re-ceived bachelor’s and master’sdegrees from UK.

Mills said her experiences at

UK will prove invaluable as shetransitions into her new position.

“I mainly placed students inagencies for the past six years,and by doing that I got to knowhow agencies really work,” Millssaid. “I have made a whole lotmore social services contacts atUK and met professors that canhelp, so UK really helped broad-en my network.”

Gray also recognized the im-portance of Mills' UK back-ground.

“Beth was educated at UKand is now coming back to CityHall after working at the Univer-

sity since 2004,” Gray said.“The wide range of experienceshe gained there, on top of theexperience she gained here,made her an outstanding candi-date to lead our Department ofSocial Services."

Mills said her new positiongives her a chance to be creativeand work to have a great socialservice community in Lexing-ton.

“I will help make policychanges and work with the peo-ple of Lexington to find the bestoutcomes,” Mills said. “Timesare tough; a lot of people aren't

working, there are a lot of youthin the community in detention,so it's a critical time and I lookforward to making some of thosechanges in Lexington.”

According to a UK news re-lease, Mills worked in socialservices for more than 14 yearsprior to joining the College ofSocial Work faculty at UK in2004, serving as the director ofthe Lexington Senior CitizensCenter, director of Urban CountyGovernment Division of AdultServices and interim commis-sioner of Urban County Govern-

REASON TO WATCH: New series from"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT: "La Ciudad de lasEstrellas (City of the Stars)" is not a city but abustling, largely outdoor medical clinic in anunnamed South American country where threeyoung doctors from the States converge.

These three, Lily Brenner (Caroline Dhav-ernas), Mina Minard (Mamie Gummer, who isMeryl Streep's daughter) and Tommy Fuller(Zach Gilford of "Friday Night Lights") arerunning away from something or someone,but mostly a past that was either painful or in-glorious or both.

Las Estrellas is their second chance. Runby slightly enigmatic, extremely hunky Dr.Ben Keeton (New Zealander Martin Hender-son), with assists from docs Zee Alvarez (Va-lerie Cruz) and Otis Cole (Jason George), LasEstrellas is a sauna that's underfunded and un-derstaffed. "Improvise" is the order of the day.

MY SAY: "Off the Map" isn't really off themap but filmed in Hawaii. The evocation of"Lost" is purely unintentional, even if you doexpect to see the Smoke Monster come crash-

ing through the jungle to teach young Dr. Kee-ton some moves he didn't learn in medicalschool.

What Rhimes and her writing and produc-tion accomplice, Betsy Beers, really want toevoke is "Grey's Anatomy," and that they doexpertly. All the familiar "Grey's" beats, riffs,motifs and gimmicks are here: The Old ManWho Just Lost a Wife; The Father (or Mother)Whose Kid Is Dying; and my longtime fa-vorite The Patient Who Seems to Be PerfectlyFine Until Just Before the Commercial Break(When He/She Coughs Up Blood).

But the change of scenery also has doneRhimes a world of good. She may still be upto her old tricks, but here they seem fresh andenergetic. Best of all, she has a solid youngcast that pulls them off well.

BOTTOM LINE: Greens, azures, Hawaii... er, "South America" ... and an appealingcast. Seems all good to me.

Georgia game and the combination ofthat and sickness found Jones on thebench, former record-holder Lambtook his spot in the starting rotationTuesday night.

While Jones was two reboundsshort of another double-double, he shot65 percent from the field including go-

ing 4 of 5 from behind the arc. He alsoposted three steals and two blocks.

Jones’ play was the spark his of-fense needed. He was one of two UKplayers to make it to the free throwline, and his hustle seemed substan-tially improved from his play inAthens.

While Jones led the Cats in scoringafter the half with 13, it seemed theteam was going to find their scoringrather evenly distributed. True to form,Jones woke up for the second half and

changed the game’s dynamic.He would post 22 in the second

half, and his 35 would make up almosthalf of the Cats’ total points.

While benching Jones was mostlikely more of a statement than a per-manence, the freshman scoring recordhas been broken twice this season, andeach player has done so coming off thebench.

half in its last game, and although theyscored more than that against the Cats,it wasn’t by much. UK had a 41-21halftime lead and never fell in dangerof letting it slip away.

Despite maintaining a comfortablelead, UK came out flat in the secondhalf, at times sloppy and stagnant.

“The way we’re playing, at spurtswe were really good, and at other times(the way we played) we’re not beatingthe better teams in our league,” Cali-pari said.

Although Jones turned in a stellarperformance – the only negative Cali-

pari had to say was that he shot toomany threes – the rest of the team hadunspectacular performances. Josh Har-rellson, the conference’s leading re-bounder, had only four.

“Josh reverted to a year ago,” Cali-pari said. “That’s why he sat down [to

begin the second half]. Didn’t have arebound in the first half. That was whohe was a year ago. Well, you don’t de-serve to be on the court.”

Auburn threw multiple defenses atUK, from man-to-man to 2-3 zones tofullcourt traps, in hopes of slowing theCats. It wasn’t working. UK made ex-actly half of its shots from the floor.

Calipari said it was a tough gameto coach because his former player andassistant, Tony Barbee, was coachingon the sideline opposite him.

“Someone had to lose the game,”Calipari said, acknowledging the reali-ties of basketball. “I absolutely did notwant it to be me.”

The UK football teamwas without the services ofstarting quarterback MikeHartline for its season-ending27-10 loss to Pittsburgh in theBBVA Compass Bowl due tosuspension, and will have toget used to life without Hart-line going forward becausethe fifth-year senior has usedup his eligibility.

Hartline posted the beststatistics of his collegiate ca-reer in his final season as aCat after winning the startingquarterback job in August bybeating out sophomore Mor-gan Newton and redshirtfreshman Ryan Mossakowski.

However, the Cats’ quar-terback situation is back tosquare one heading intospring football after Newtonfailed to solidify the starter’srole with his fill-in perform-ance in the Compass Bowl.He finished with a career-high in passing yards (211),completions (21) and at-tempts (36) against Pitt.

“(The quarterback compe-tition) will be open; I don’tthink we have a starter rightnow for next season,” UK of-fensive coordinator and quar-terbacks coach Randy Sanderssaid. “We have got a guy(Newton) who has startedsome games and played prettywell. We’ve got another guy(Mossakowski) that I think istalented and has the ability toplay but hasn’t done it a wholelot on gameday. I hope theyboth compete hard.”

Sanders said he has yet todiscuss with UK head coachJoker Phillips and the rest ofthe coaching staff histhoughts regarding the quar-terback situation.

On the other hand, at Sat-urday’s postgame news con-ference, it seemed apparentthat Phillips was insinuatingthat the slight edge belongedto Newton to retain thestarter’s job.

“He will start a competi-

tion in spring football withMoss and another youngquarterback (true freshmanMaxwell Smith),” Phillipssaid. “He’s got to hold thoseguys off and he’s got to playbetter to hold those guys off.”

Phillips added that New-ton’s performance was “muchimproved” since his last startin the 2009 Music City Bowl.

Sanders gave Newton’sperformance a favorable re-view: “It wasn’t perfect, butMorgan played pretty well to-day…other than missing (tail-back Derrick) Locke one timeand missing (receiver)La’Rod (King) one time, hedidn’t miss many throws; Ithink he threw it 30-some-thing times and I thoughtthere was maybe one time hethrew it to the wrong guy.”

Newton brings mobilityto the quarterback position, asevidenced by his 12 carries inthe Compass Bowl, unlike thepocket passing styles of Hart-line or Mossakowski.

“I expected (Newton) andencouraged him to be willingto pull it down and take offrunning with it and makesome plays,” Sanders said.

One such play was a longscramble on a 3rd-and-19when Newton ran for 18yards to put the Cats in posi-tion to convert on 4th-and-

short. However, Newton’swillingness to run also result-ed in a fumble on UK’s open-ing drive versus the Pan-thers—protecting the footballon scrambles is somethingSanders said he warned New-ton about.

“I’m a 19-year-old kid,and I guess I was a little hard-headed about that,” Newtonsaid. “On the first drive I laidit on the ground.”

Sanders said he is confi-dent that the Cats can win inthe Southeastern Conferencewith whichever quarterbackbecomes the starter for nextyear.

Newton and Mossakowskiwere both highly touted re-cruits from the class of 2009and were listed jointly as thebackup quarterback on thedepth chart this season.Mossakowski redshirted hisfirst season on campus whilerecovering from a shoulder in-jury while Newton recorded a5-3 record as a true freshmanin relief of an injured Hartline.

Still, in his ninth careerstart, Newton missed the op-portunity to lock up the start-ing role, for now.

“I feel like I made someplays but that I left a lot ofplays on the field,” he said.

Cats’ 2011 quarterback situation unresolved

Enes Kanter was ruled permanent-ly ineligible on Jan. 7 for receivingimpermissible compensation from aprofessional team. Here is a look atwhat went into the decision, the ap-peal and the aftermath, including howit could affect future recruiting.

The appeal

The final decision lasted fromthe beginning of the year until Jan. 7.In that time, there were two deci-sions made by the NCAA and twoupholdings made by the appealscommittee.

The first appeal was a joint effortbetween the NCAA, UK and the Kan-ter family, UK spokesman DeWaynePeevy said. UK was told to appealand that it would “not be a waste oftime.”

The decision to appeal a secondtime was left “entirely” up to Kanter.

“At that point, it was already solong into December, you don’t wantto feel like you didn’t try every-thing,” Peevy said. “If he was readyto stop, we were too. We didn’t want

to keep pushing it if was botheringhim.”

Following the final decision,NCAA President Mark Emmert pub-licly explained the decision to CBS’Seth Davis. Calipari implied wonderat why an explanation was neces-sary.

“All the comments, you’ve madeyour decision, why are you still com-menting?” Calipari said.

Calipari said the decision wasn’tblack and white, as he said some me-dia have claimed, or else the decisionwouldn’t have lasted as long.

“Why would you put him througheight months and say you guys shouldappeal this?” Calipari said.

Calipari noted the extended dura-tion of the decision was unfortunatefor Kanter, but Peevy acknowledgedthat it was a complicated process.

“I don’t think that’s anybody’sfault,” Peevy said about the length ofthe decision process. “It’s just that it’sa very unique case, where a kid fromanother country, a high level athlete,(with) a lot of things are involvedfrom a team overseas to a universityhere.”

While a lawsuit has been men-tioned before as a possible course ofaction, that decision would be left up

to Kanter and his family. Peevy saidKanter had not brought it up with theUK staff, although he didn’t explicitlyrule it out as a possibility.

The aftermath

Kanter has now morphed from apractice player unable to play ingames to an undergraduate student-as-sistant coach. He traveled to Georgia,his first road trip, and will be able toparticipate in UK practices to a cer-tain degree.

Now, with a career at UK out ofthe question, Kanter will focus onworking toward the NBA, althoughthat may not have been his first inten-tion.

“He did not want to put his namein the draft,” Calipari said. “Had nodesire at all. Now I don’t think he hasa whole lot of choices, but that’s notwhat he wanted to do.”

Calipari said he would work Kan-ter out in front of NBA personnel andwill sit with him in the green room.But Kanter, who is 18 years old, maynot be ready for the jump to a profes-sional league.

Drawn-out Kanter decisioncomes to end, sets precedent

See KANTER on page 6

PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFFEnes Kanter holds a clipboard during the UK vs. UGA game at Stegeman Col-iseum on Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011.

In an interview withSports Illustrated writer SethDavis, NCAA PresidentMark Emmert discussed thedecision to rule Enes Kanterpermanently ineligible.

On the decision itself:“The facts are utterly un-

ambiguous, the rule is utterlyunambiguous, and the inten-

tion of the membership is ut-terly unambiguous. The vastmajority of people in colle-giate basketball knew thatthis was an issue with EnesKanter. So I’m amazed thatpeople are shocked.”

On the perceived inconsis-tency of the NCAA decisions:

“They are all very differ-

ent cases with very differentfacts. You mentioned Selby.Here was an individual whotook somewhere over $5,000worth of impermissible ben-efits. It was from a third par-ty. That wasn’t a violation ofour rules regarding profes-sional athletics.”

On the question of intent,which has been brought upin defense of Kanter, who

seemingly made a concertedeffort to remain an amateur:

“I can’t describe what agood-faith effort is. I don’tknow the young man or hisfamily. If their intention allalong was to have him comeplay in the United States,then it would simply havebeen a matter of not accept-ing pay. We’ve seen a three-fold increase in the numberof international athletes com-

ing to college, so it’s notright to say the environmentis not conducive for them tocome here and play.”

On Dick Vitale’s assertionthat Kanter would have beenruled eligible had he beenplaying for Washington, theschool where Emmert wasPresident last year and aschool that recruited Kanter:

“Not to put too fine a

point on it, but that’s ridicu-lous. By all accounts this is avery talented basketball play-er, but yet there were veryfew schools recruiting him.Because everyone understoodthat there was a very largeprobability that he was notgoing to be deemed eligible.This has nothing to do withKentucky or Coach Calipari.It has to do with a clear ruleand a clear set of facts.

I traveled to Birmingham,Ala., over the break. Surpris-ingly, hell was much colder

than I imag-ined itwould be.

If you’refrom Ala-bama, con-sider that ajoke. Ifyou’re notfrom Ala-bama, con-sider your-self blessed.

In anyevent, while I was at work inthe Deep South, which hadtemporarily turned into anicebox, a fellow Canuck washeating things up on a privateyacht in the Caribbean.

That’s right, JustinBieber, my fellow Canadianand twice previously a targetof my ramblings, was seensmooching Disney wun-derkind Selena Gomez, whois strongly rumored to beBieber’s flame. Bow-chicka-wow-wow!

Obviously, my piece inmid-October chastising Bieberfor getting in a tizzy at a lasertag center only helped fuelBieber Fever; he’s further for-gotten his Canadian roots andcontinues to be focused on hisoh-so-perfect bowl haircut ashis star continues to rise.

Some of you might be

saying, “Nick, you’ve men-tioned Bieber a lot, andthough you say he perturbsyou, it would seem that you’dlike to start a bromance withhim and are currently Googlesearching images of himwhile you write this.”

Puh-lease. First of all,he’s a minor. It’s illegal tostart a bromance with a mi-nor. Secondly, he’s riding mycoattails! It seems that I havemade him famous by repeat-edly mentioning his name inmy writing, so much so thatwhen I now reference him myreadership spikes ten-foldplus four (which means I’llhave four readers!).

Admittedly, I must acceptthat I need his help to amountto something more than anempty shell of a person whorefuses to eat anything butLean Cuisine microwaveablemeals and Yoplait GoGurt.

That’s why I’m going toask all the Bieber fans whotweeted death threats toGomez for stealing “their”man to refrain from doing so.I need Bieber to be happy ifhe is to help me achieve mygoals.

These tweets directed toGomez, such as, “If you arethe Girlfriend of Justin I willKill you I HATE YOU :@!!!(sic)” and “I’ll kill you Iswear on GOD!!!!(sic)” arelikely making Bieber very

sad.I’ll assume many of these

tweeters were not sociopathictweens, but simply jokesterswho were limited by Twitter’s140-character limit and thus,couldn’t find space for an“LOL” or a “JK” to indicatetheir death threats weren’t se-rious.

If you are a tween whowants to wed Bieber, a threat-ening tweet won’t win overhis heart. In fact, all yourtweets are making his stockof lady friends more famous.

However, I figure a clevertweet to Gomez will get mymessage across that he needsto help my celebrity now,something along the lines of:“Do u honestly believe Justinwants to make you more fa-mous than one of his fellowcountrymen? U r more likeSelena Hopez.”

Even with Gomez out ofthe picture, what are thechances of my star ever sur-passing Bieber’s at this point?Probably not until hell freezesover.

“They’ve made you big-ger than life,” Calipari said.“He’s huge in Turkey. He’s

huge here.”Calipari said he reminds

Kanter that there this decisionis ultimately not the end ofhis road by any means – hestill has professional basket-ball to play. The UK programwill move on, but the deci-sion is affecting Kanter at thispoint.

“My point right now is tomake sure we make an unbe-lievable situation out of a badsituation,” Calipari said.

Kanter was ruled ineligi-ble because of $33,033 in ex-cessive expenses. Caliparisaid the NCAA now set aprecedent, that any amount,even $500, would make aplayer permanently ineligi-ble.

“It’s not the amount ofmoney. It’s you got moneyover, you’re out,” Caliparisaid. “They could use it for

education, for health, (but ifthey receive extra money)they’re never going to playcollege athletics.”

Kanter did not have acontract with his Europeanclub, which may have set an-other precedent.

“You don’t have to have acontract,” Calipari said.“Now if that club comes backand says we gave him pocketmoney of $400, then he is in-eligible for life. … and that’sfine, that’s just where we alllive now.”

Recruiting of Europeanplayers could be impacted bythe decision. Calipari saidclubs are now aware they cangive even small amount, suchas $500, and know that itwould ruin the chance of aplayer leaving for college.

“Not just (UK), buteverybody (will be effected inrecruiting),” Calipari said.“This will be any programnow, looking at a player.”

KANTERContinued from page 4

LOS ANGELES _ "I amabout to embark on a greatadventure," says the hero,tucking a Colt revolver into aflour sack, donning a wide-brimmed Stetson and ridingout into the wilderness on thetrail of a killer. Smart, stoicand purposeful, this avengeris a stock Western movie pro-tagonist in every way but one_ Mattie Ross, the centralcharacter in the new film"True Grit," is a 14-year-oldgirl.

Given that female adoles-cents are frequently depictedon-screen as vapid ("MeanGirls"), angst-ridden ("Twi-light"), pregnant ("Juno") ormerely decorative ("Spider-Man"), Mattie Ross is a re-markable role. She nevershakes out her braids in amakeover montage, swoonsover a cute stable boy or fretsabout the daunting task athand tracking down the manwho shot her father, with as-sists from a crusty federalmarshal (Jeff Bridges) anddandified Texas Ranger (MattDamon).

"True Grit," directed byJoel and Ethan Coen, is thesecond film to be made fromCharles' Portis 1968 novel ofthe same name. The first,which hit cinemas in 1969and was directed by HenryHathaway, focused more onJohn Wayne's federal mar-shal, aged Mattie to be playedby 21-year-old Kim Darby,softened the hard edges Portishad etched into her characterand added a hint of romancebetween Mattie and the TexasRanger.

While the differences be-tween the two movie Mattiessay something about her film-maker fathers, they revealeven more about the erasfrom which they sprung. TheCoens' Mattie is a tenaciousnew kind of teen heroinejockeying her way ontomovie screens.

She's the product of a filmindustry in which youngwomen are infiltrating tradi-tionally male genres like ac-tion films; female directors

and producers are wieldingincreasing creative influence;and the culture is movingfrom a sexed-up, dumbed-down model of female ado-lescence to one marked bysmarts, strength and scrap.

"Most teenage girls inmovies are more like Valleygirls," says Hailee Steinfeld,14, the precocious Hollywoodnewcomer who plays Mattie."But Mattie, she's driven, de-termined. This character isabout getting the job done."

Other gutsy adolescentshitting movie screens recentlyinclude Ree Dolly (JenniferLawrence), the 17-year-old,wood-chopping, squirrel-gut-ting Ozark girl who musttrack down her meth-dealerfather to save the familyhomestead in the art-house hit"Winter's Bone," and Hit-Girl(Chloe Moretz), the purple-wigged, profanity-spewing11-year-old vigilante who as-sists her crime-fighting dad inthe comic book adaptation"Kick-Ass." (In a trend begunin ancient Greece, many ofthese fictional daughters areon an Oedipal quest of onesort or another.)

Old-school Disney girlsare also starting to reflect amodern moxie _ director TimBurton's 19-year-old Alice in"Alice in Wonderland" skipsout on an unwanted marriageproposal and slays a jabber-wocky, and in the animatedfeature "Tangled," Rapunzelfinally sneaks down from thattower and wields her 80 feetof hair as a lasso and a bull-whip.

"People are finding theseheroines charismatic, unex-pected and fresh," says "Win-ter's Bone" director DebraGranik. "What a person in thebusiness can get from that is,'Hey, a young female protago-nist doesn't need to have aboyfriend, get pregnant, cutherself or be naked to attractan audience.'"

Traditionally, one of thebarriers to teen female protag-onists driving anything butromances has been the con-ventional wisdom in Holly-wood that such charactersalienate male audiences. That

didn't seem to be a problemfor the Coens' "True Grit,"however. Though the PG-13film is built squarely aroundSteinfeld's performance, itsmarketing emphasized itsmale stars, and "True Grit"has brought in more than$100 million at the box officeso far on the shoulders ofmostly male moviegoers.

Ideally for filmmakers,these heroines don't turn offmen and entice women andgirls to genres they might or-dinarily skip. At least that'swhat Zack Snyder would liketo accomplish with the up-coming movie "SuckerPunch," a feminine twist onthe prison break film in whichan 18-year-old characternamed Baby Doll (played by22-year-old Emily Browning)fights her way out of a mentalinstitution using her mind, herfellow patients and somesamurai swords.

"We have female charac-ters in this situation that'smostly the terrain of men,"says Snyder, whose film isdue in theaters in March. "It'sa challenge economically tofind who is the audience forthe movie. Our hope is thatthe movie is transcendent,that it becomes something noone's seen before and existsoutside the models (studios)use to track potential eco-nomic gains."

More of these "Ramboli-nas" are on the way to cine-plexes: In April, in the titularrole of "Hanna," a 14-year-old assassin-in-trainingplayed by Saoirse Ronanjourneys across Europe onher first, dangerous mission.In "The Hunger Games," apotential franchise about tobegin casting, KatnissEverdeen, the 16-year-oldhuntress from the bestsellingseries of dystopian novels,volunteers to fight to thedeath in a government-stagedarena game to save heryounger sister's life. AndGranik and her producingpartner, Anne Rosellini, areworking on a film treatmentfor one of fiction's originaltomboys, Pippi Longstocking.

11 ways to findbalance in 2011

After the shooting in Tucson, Ariz. over the weekend,many examinations have come into play.

Gun control is once again in the spot-light, as is the availability of weapons withincredible capacities for destruction.

The levels of security provided to pub-lic officials is being questioned after Rep.Gabrielle Giffords, a federal judge, and 20other victims were shot at a constituent'smeeting.

But as public officials and investigatorsperform their jobs and examine the motivesand causes for this horrific crime, it’s timeAmerica, as a nation, does a similar evalua-tion on itself.

The overall political and cultural rheto-ric today is one of anonymous confrontation. No longer arethe American people’s options for expression limited to aletter to the editor or a physical protest.

No, with the introduction of the Internet came a gloriousconcept: expression without ownership. With every article orstory someone disagrees with, they now have the option ofverbally berating or tearing down that opinion without somuch as a minimal amount of accountability to the personthey so adamantly disagree with.

I find this so much more disturbing for my generation,the technological generation. As college students, we hadour education based in technology and continue to developour lives in technological advancements, yet between thewarnings of avoiding predators online, or revealing too

much personal information, where are the lessons on provid-ing thought void of cruel derogatory remarks?

The inability of people to censor themselves when at-tempting to elicit a reaction from someone has little to dowith this particular shooting on the surface.

But if you dig down deeper and examine the constantbombardment one is faced with when debating behind theface of anonymity, one can't help but wonder how oftenpeople like Jared Lee Loughner, the alledged shooter re-leased onto the public last Saturday, don't more often feedon the negativity seeping from the pores of every aspect ofsocietal media.

Any one person can open up a blog, a video, a press re-lease or even a excerpt from the often confrontational ren-derings of anyone political, and see the negative connota-tions lacing every opinion they form. I can't help but imag-ine every person too angry to act, using what they see as theoverall public feeling as rational for every purposed thoughtthat crossed their minds.

But no one physically can prevent something like thisshooting from happening. The responsibility for those peo-ple’s deaths only lies on the shoulders of the shooter.

The responsibility of the opinions and expressions thatfeed people like the shooter, however? Whose shouldersdoes that responsibility lie on? Ours. And its time westepped up, and owned up.

What you say today may very well effect what someonedoes tomorrow.

Silence ensures voice will be heardSilence in journalism

As the new Opinions editor, I’d like to start off the se-mester by clarifying something that Cassidy Herringtonmentioned in her farewell column in the last issue of the

Kentucky Kernel of the fall 2010 semester.She referred to me as “clever, yet

silent.” It’s true: If you meet me in person,I’m often a person of few spoken words.My writing, however, is where you mosteasily may find my voice.

I can see how silence can be intimidat-ing. Silence, after all, speaks volumes with-out actually communicating anything. It im-plies nothing and it says everything. Per-haps that is the reason I support and respectit so much.

Silence is loud. Silence is strong. Si-lence is powerful.

Journalists encounter silence all the time, though.Whether their assignment is to interview the grieving

widow whose husband was murdered or to cover a politicalrally where the silent atmosphere is excruciatingly tense be-tween opposing candidates too stubborn to agree to dis-agree, yes, journalism needssilence.

Journalists who do theirjobs most effectively pick upon that, and have learned toembrace the silence. Theyconsider it with every articlethey write. Unfortunately,based on this quantifier, nottoo many of these kinds ofjournalists are out there.

Robin Leach, celebritywriter and best known forhosting “Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous,” once saidof interviewing, “When I interview people and they give mean immediate answer, they’re often not thinking. So I’msilent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answer-ing. And it’s the second train of thought that’s the better an-swer.”

I couldn’t have “said” it better myself. However, this is-n’t just about the journalist restraining himself to allow theinterviewee to speak coherently; the journalist can benefitfrom silence, as well.

American playwright and novelist Thornton Wilder said,“Those who are silent, self-effacing and attentive becomethe recipients of confidences.”

Wilder makes the point that the journalists who are notonly attentive to their subjects, but also who remain silent toallow their subject to direct the conversation and gain thesubject’s trust, those are the journalists who come away withthe best stories.

No longer will “no comment” be synonymous with ashort-sighted snub, or at least that is my hope as moreawaken to this realization.

My introductionAs I’ve mentioned already, many acquaintances tell me

the first thing they notice about me is that I’m quiet. Evenpeople who have known me a long time say they find itironic that I’m interested in a career field that requires con-versation.

These acquaintances and others share the view of TIMEMagazine’s Henry Anatole Grunwald, who said, “Journalismcan never be silent: That is its greatest virtue and its greatest

fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while theechoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs ofhorror are still in the air.”

Well, I think this view is ironic, considering journalismis a career that prides itself on making people talk andpracticing the freedom of speech. Evidently never oncehave these so-called journalists understood that not alwaysdoes what is said enhance what is known, nor does“speech” stop with verbal communication.

In the role of Opinions editor of the Kentucky Kernelthis semester, I see it as my duty to express to you, the read-ers, in my written words what I may not have the capacityto speak, and to encourage you to do the same.

It’s like Jaroslav Seifert, the first Czech to win a NobelPrize in literature, said, “If an ordinary person is silent, itmay be a tactical maneuver. If a writer is silent, he is lying.”

I will strive to discuss topics that are of interest to read-ers and that convey my viewpoint honestly, openly and letthose readers make of it what they will.

The Dalai Lama said it best with this quotation: “Some-times one creates a dynamic impression by saying some-thing, and sometimes one creates a significant impression byremaining silent.”

Perhaps the reason si-lence is so “dynamic” is be-cause people often don’tknow what to make of it. It’sunnatural to them. Especial-ly in western culture, wepraise whoever’s voice isloudest and feel the need tofill silent voids with conver-sation.

Author Henri Nouwensaid, “For many of us, si-lence has become a threat.There was a time when si-

lence was normal and a lot of noise disturbed us. But today,noise is normal fare, and silence — strange as it may seem— has become the disturbance.”

Now it’s your turnIf you’re one of those people who are put off by silence,

I advise you to read my words and watch my actions. Butdon’t sit there and wait for me to talk.

Better yet, start your own conversation. Appreciate whatyour fellow students have to say, even if their ideas conflictwith yours.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leading patron for women’ssuffrage, once said, “The moment we begin to fear the opin-ions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us andfrom motives of policy are silent when we should speak, thedivine floods of light and life no longer flow into oursouls.”

Feel free to break the silence on your own accord. TheOpinions page is always accepting submissions from the UKcommunity on issues that affect the people within it. Let mebe the journalist and you my interviewee. Say what’s onyour mind.

Take a cue from Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “Ourlives begin to end the day we become silent about thingsthat matter.”

With that, I introduce you, my fellow Wildcats, to a se-mester of possibilities; possibilities to open up about those“things that matter.” Trust me — the silent, clever journalist— we will all be better for it.

As a former student of the university Ithought I would try to voice my opinionon the BBVA Compass bowl game stu-dent tickets.

When I went to inquire at the ticketoffice on prices for alumni and/or currentstudent tickets, I was told there wereplenty of tickets and that they were all$50.

I found it odd the university wascharging students the same price as gener-al public, considering Pittsburgh chargedtheir students nothing.

Nonetheless, I was optimistic for a sol-id turnout. Go Cats.

columnist

In the role of Opinions editor of theKentucky Kernel this semester, I see it

as my duty to express to you, thereaders, in my written words what Imay not have the capacity to speak,

and to encourage you to do the same.

What’s the big deal with New Year’s resolutions any-way?

By now I have not been 100 percent loyal to them,even though I had such high aspirations.That is because it is hard to make a dra-matic change overnight for anyone (ex-cept for maybe Chuck Norris).

It doesn’t have to be Jan. 1 to make achange in your life. The key is practicali-ty. If you’ve never run a day in your life,how are you to expect that you can run10 miles right away?

Since it’s the beginning of the semes-ter, I thought that I would point out somesuggestions on how to have a successfulspring semester. It can be hard to be mo-tivated to do anything during such a

dark, dismal time of the year, but this is the time to re-flect and make changes. I hope you find this list helpfulto you, and that it helps you get off to a good start thissemester!

1. Stop telling yourself you’ll stop procrastinat-ing tomorrow. We say we’ll start studying in an hour, intwo hours, tomorrow and on and on it goes. Finally,you’re facing the day before an exam and you have yet tostudy, so you cram and stress and hope you’ll do OK. Assimple as it is, studying a small amount every day, andbuilding upon that knowledge is the best way to retain in-formation, and a surefire way to avoid those all-nighters.Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you can’t memorize thewhole Periodic Table of Elements in an hour.

2. Remember what the weekdays are for, as wellas the weekends. The college life is full of freedom. Of-ten you don’t have daily assignments, and your week-nights become opportunities for fun and hanging out withfriends. But by the end of the weekend, you realize howbehind you are and Sunday becomes the day of unrest. Ifyou commit yourself to focus during the weeknights andget everything that needs to be accomplished done by Fri-day, then the weekend can be guilt-free.

3. Schedule at least one fun activity that you en-joy every day. We spend our lives counting down untilour next vacation, and going through the motions ofeveryday life until we reach day one. Do something youenjoy and that enriches you every day, and you will feelhappy and satisfied when you go to sleep, instead of justalways waiting until the next “big” thing.

4. Go to the gym because you want to, not be-cause you “have” to, and eat healthy (most of thetime). Almost everyone makes resolutions to be healthierand get in shape. The problem is that most of us put a lotof pressure on ourselves to transform into an Olympianovernight, and instead we get burned out and retreat tothe couch. By making small changes instead of dramaticoverhauls, you’re more likely to be successful in the longrun.

5. De-clutter your space and de-stress your life:It seems most of us fill our lives, and our houses, withmore and more things we don’t really need. They startto accumulate dust and sit there on the shelf. But haveyou ever walked into a spa, or a beautifully-designed ho-tel room, and your mind just went “ahhhh”? This is thepower of feng shui. It can be hard to let go of things youown, but it can be therapeutic. In addition, those clothesyou never wear could be donated to a good home, andyou get to rediscover the color of your carpet!

6. Improve your relationship with your alarmclock. Getting enough sleep is one of the main challengesof the busy college student. Many feel lucky if they canget at least five hours of sleep at night. Coffee is a mustto come alive in the morning, and sometimes the onlything to look forward to is an afternoon nap. If we couldjust get a decent amount (usually around seven hours) ofsleep a night, then the shrill beep of the alarm clockwouldn’t be quite as horrible.

7. Get off Facebook and get face-to-face. It is theaddiction of most college kids, and the easiest way fortime to slip away. The majority of young adults spendhours a day on Facebook, and this can sometimes take theplace of real-life socializing. If you spend less time onFacebook, you’ll have more time to spend not only study-ing, but also forming lasting relationships that are basedon something more than notifications.

8. It’s a text message, if it was urgent theywould have called you. Walk across campus, and abouthalf the people you see will be freezing their fingers offto send a text message right away. Why not set asidesome time and different points during the day to be freeof the phone? You’ll enjoy the company of others and re-gain focus on other things that need your attention. Andthe message will always be there when you return, unlikea friend annoyed by your distraction.

9. Invest your money, time and emotions intopeople and things that are worth it. While it’s a goodthing to say “yes” to everyone who asks for help, you be-gin to lose a sense of yourself, and you just become ex-hausted. It’s important to know where you need to focusyour attention and when you should pull back, so that atthe end of the day you feel satisfied with where you haveput your energy and time into.

10. Know what you can change, and accept andmake peace with the rest. It can be frustrating when youencounter a problem that you want to fix, but no matterhow hard you try, there seems to be no solution. Some-times the best answer is to accept that there are somethings out of your control, and move on to something thatyou do have the power to change. In a relationship, forinstance, sometimes it’s better to end something that hascaused too much unneeded stress. This doesn’t mean youshould quit something just because it’s hard, but after acertain point no amount of effort can save something thatcan’t be fixed. It can be hard to move on, but it is a posi-tive change.

11. Think positively, no matter how easy it is tosee the negative. It can be easy to see the bad things inyour life — especially during these slow winter months— but this creates a cycle of negativity that is hard tobreak. It is important to appreciate the good things inyour life, and to focus on them instead of the bad things.Many people proclaim the power of positive thinking as away of achieving peace and happiness. Regardless of reli-gious beliefs, anyone can benefit from focusing on thepositive. And even if it’s cold and dreary outside, you canstill have a sunny disposition!
