UK ranked No. 2 in pollsHow much does high ranking matter?

The ousted dictator ofLibya, Moammar Gadhafi,was confirmed dead Thursday.

Though there are conflict-ing reports of how the self-proclaimed “King of Kings”died, reports began to surfaceThursday morning that Gad-

hafi had been killed. It was lat-er confirmed by interimLibyan Prime Minister Mah-moud Jibril in Tripoli, the na-tion’s capital.

Suleiman Darrat, a formerUK professor of Islamic stud-ies and Libya native, hastalked to his relatives in Libyaabout Gadhafi’s death, andsaid people are thrilled, and all

events, such as weddings,have been canceled because ofGadhafi’s death.

“(Libyans) will be able tomake their lives better forthemselves and for their fami-lies and for their children,”Darrat said.

Darrat said Gadhafi hasbeen in control of “all aspectsand matters: communication,

economy, (and) healthcare.”“Everything was really so

corrupted,” Darrat said. “So Ihope that people throughoutthe years have learned theirlesson.”

U.S. Senate MinorityLeader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., commented on the deathof Gadhafi, saying the newgovernment will be able to be

representative after his death.McConnell said many of

the leaders from Libya’s Na-tional Transitional Councilhave been educated in theU.S., and he hopes they willform a representative govern-ment that will become an allyof the U.S.

Patterson School Directorand former U.S. AmbassadorCarey Cavanaugh said “few(people) would argue that thisis a good thing” and looks for-

ward to what the governmentcan do following Gadhafi’sdeath.

“His death today is greaterprospect that the new govern-ment of Libya will be able tostabilize that country and helpmove it along a democraticpath,” Cavanaugh said.

Cavanaugh said it is tooearly to tell if Libya will be-come a democracy, but thereare good signs that point to-

New athleticscommittee

recommended

A UK Board of Trusteessubcommittee recommendedThursday the implementa-tion of a new athletic com-mittee which will overseecontracts and facilities.

The Athletics ReviewCommittee was created inthe spring to create a newathletics advisory committeecomprised of students, fac-ulty and members of theBoard of Trustees and com-munity members.

The committee suggest-ed the UK Athletics Associ-ation Board of Directorsconsider dissolving itself.

Terry Mobley, the sub-committee chair, said UK’snew athletics advisory com-mittee “would take the placeof the current UK athleticsadvisory board.”

According to the schoolbylaws, the $80-million ath-letics budget is included inthe regular school budget ofabout $2.7 billion.

This past summer, UKmen’s basketball head coachJohn Calipari was given a

two-year $36.5 million con-tract extension.

Now, with the imple-mentation of the new adviso-ry committee, students, fac-ulty and members of theLexington community willhave a voice in how muchcoaches in UK’s athleticsdepartment will be paid.However, they didn’t specifywho could actually vote.

“The president wouldhave to appoint communitymembers and students,”Barbara Jones, the Board’shead counsel, said.

Britt Brockman, boardchair, said he “came up withthe idea of the new advisorycommittee” back in thespring.

Paranormal groupsearches for spirits

A new student organization is in-vestigating anything out of the ordi-nary.

Paranormal is defined as any-thing out of the ordinary or not nor-mal, including fairies, zombies, andghouls, and the Paranormal StudyOrganization is a new club this yearthat investigates paranormal activity.

The club uses websites that setout rules and details and then doesindividual research on public recordsto see who has died at particularplaces, said Kayla Pickrell, journal-ism sophomore and founder of thegroup.

She said the club has 25 mem-bers so far but grows daily. Students,

faculty and people outside of UK areable to join throughout the year.

Their first investigation is goingto be held at Guignol Theatre Sun-day, Oct. 30 from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.,where they will break into groups ofthree to five people to investigate,Pickrell said. The Guignol Theatreburnt down in 1947, and was rebuiltas the current Fine Arts building.

She said the organization will beinvestigating if they can reach any-one who died in the fire. Camerasand recorders will be positioned inrandom places within the theatre tocapture images and voices.

Easy or non-detailed questionslike “what’s your favorite color?” or“what is your name?” work bestwhen communicating with the spirits,

Students discusscampus facilities

President Eli Capilouto an-nounced at Tuesday’s investiture cer-emony that one of his primary goalsas President is to rebuild campus.

UK was established in 1865 andwill be celebrating 150 years of exis-tence in the near future, a milestonethat few universities in the state havereached.

With its rich history, however,comes the need to renovate and rebuildmany of the structures on campus.

A recent report indicated thatmore than 80 percent of buildings onUK’s campus are considered to be infair to poor condition.

In his speech, Capilouto said hewill construct residence halls andbuild new classroom space in thecore of campus.

Although estimated constructioncosts top $1 billion, Capilouto is con-fident that UK will come up with themeans necessary to complete the re-building process.

While Capilouto plans on fixingcampus building, many students havetaken note of the shortcomings ofUK’s facilities, especially at locationssuch as the student center and theFunkhouser Building.

In their search for inventive approaches todrama, two networks have followed similarpaths.

At 8 p.m. Sunday, ABC premieres “OnceUpon a Time,” a drama in which charactersfrom the fairy-tale world (including SnowWhite and Prince Charming) have beenmoved to modern times and deprived of theiroriginal identity. At 9 p.m. Friday, NBC offers“Grimm,” in which a homicide detectivelearns that creatures from the Brothers Grimmstories are in fact real — and it’s up to him tokeep them from disrupting the modern world.

I suppose that these will appeal to someviewers on a very basic level. Consideringwhat the real world is like these days, whowouldn’t want to live in a fairy tale?

But these lives are, you will excuse the ex-pression, grim. Indeed, “Grimm” seemed de-liberately gloomy fare on first viewing, basedmore on the nasty business of fairy stories —the dark, wooded paths, the deceptively inno-cent-looking homes deep in the forest.

“Once Upon a Time,” on the other hand,mines old stories for excess and mystery. Both

stem from the characters’ lives in their originalfairy-tale world; in that world, the Evil Queen(Lana Parrilla) has placed a curse on everyoneto prevent a happy ending. For example, SnowWhite (Ginnifer Goodwin) has become MaryMargaret Blanchard, a teacher who is terriblylonely because she has not found her PrinceCharming (Josh Dallas). Like most of the oth-er characters, she lives in the town of Story-brooke, where the Evil Queen is mayor.

But the mayor’s grip in the town is threat-ened by the arrival of Emma Swan (JenniferMorrison), a lost soul who has been given anidea of what’s going on in Storybrooke — notleast because she may also be the daughter ofSnow White and Prince Charming. Throughher character, “Once Upon a Time” can blendin mystery and soap opera, while also flashingback to the fairy-tale world to underscore whatthe characters had and lost.

The best word I have for “Once Upon aTime,” which I like much more than“Grimm,” is nutty. But it is unapologetically,entertainingly nutty.

wards it. “The country … has not

had experience in any recenttime with any form of Democ-racy,” Cavanaugh said. “Thepopulation of Libya is veryyoung, so for most Libyans theonly leader they have everknown is Moammar Gadhafi.

“I think we’ve seen in thepast several months the desirefor democracy and the desirefor liberty, the rising strengthof the rebel movement thattook Tripoli on Aug. 20 andhad continued the fight thesepast two months,” Cavanaughsaid.

Paul Chamberlin, an asso-ciate professor of history, com-pared the situation in Libya tothat of Middle Eastern coun-tries that have recently losttheir long-time rulers.

“We should not look atthis as the end of the story inLibya,” Chamberlin said in an

email to the Kernel. “TheUnited States has a fairlyshort attention span on thesematters, but the real questionis what will happen next. IfIraq and Afghanistan taughtthe United States and NATOanything, it’s that toppling agovernment is not enough.The real challenge is rebuild-ing.”

President Barack Obamaspoke from the White HouseRose Garden just after 2 p.m.Though he didn’t confirm hisdeath, he had faith in theLibyan government’s confir-mation of Gadhafi’s death.

“This marks the end of along and painful chapter forthe people of Libya, who nowhave the opportunity to deter-mine their own destiny and anew and democratic Libya,”Obama said.

Obama said the Libyansbegan the change towarddemocracy based off theircourage to stand up to Gad-hafi, noting the historical sig-nificance of the day.

“(T)he courageous Libyanpeople fought for their own fu-ture and broke the back of theregime,” Obama said. “This isa momentous day in the histo-ry of Libya.”

On Feb. 22, UK studentLuebab Ahmed helped organ-ize a demonstration for thelarge population of Libyan’swho immigrated from Libya.

Nearly 100 people, bothimmigrants from Libya and lo-cal supporters, protested Gad-hafi and his treatment of theLibyan people at the FayetteCircuit Courthouse.

The group chanted in bothEnglish and Arabic andmarched around the area. Pro-testers also held signs at thestreet corner wanting drivers tohonk in support of the rally.

“Libya will travel a longand winding road to fulldemocracy,” Obama said.“There will be difficult daysahead. But the United States,together with the internationalcommunity, is committed tothe Libyan people.”

to be in compliance with reg-ulations.

“We are not here becauseof anything that’s gone onbefore at the university. Weare here to plan for thefuture,” Mobley said.

The committee was go-ing to meet sooner than thescheduled date, but decidedto wait on the inaugurationof President Eli Capilouto.

Even though he did notattend the meeting, the presi-dent’s words were expressed,since he has the final author-

ity over the athletics and isthe ultimate person responsi-ble, Jones said.

Several members alsopointed out that the new com-mittee would also mean theuniversity’s compliance withNCAA rules and regulationswould become a lot easier.

Member Lionel Williamsvoiced a small amount ofconcern for the “downside ofcreating the new committee.”

Including the communitymembers and students in thedecision-making processcould take away from theoverall power of the Board ofTrustees, Williams said.

Most of the board mem-

bers agreed that the potentialcommittee’s “upside is betterthan its downside.”

Jones said the advisorycommittee will increase thecampus’ communication.

“The new committeecould also shorten the linesof communication betweenstudents, faculty and theBoard of Trustees with re-gards to their concerns aboutthe athletics department.”

The Board of Trusteeswill vote on this twice overthe next several months be-cause it involves a change tothe university’s governingregulations, according to apress release.

Pickrell said.“If the questions are too

detailed the spirits words be-come jumbled and you mighteven hear it mock you,” shesaid. “It’s rare that you canhear it clearly, it could takeyou nearly two hours whilelooking at research of 30 sec-ond intervals.”

The spirits communicateon different sound waves sosomeone can’t hear it untilthey play back the tapes.

The Monday of Hal-loween the organization willget together to watch movies,eat, play games and reviewtheir research along withwhat they found in the the-ater, Pickrell said.

“Ghosts come back whenthey have an emotional tie toan area,” Mae Seay, a psy-chology junior and vice presi-dent of the club, said. “I’mreally excited to go to Guig-nol. I think there will be a lotof activity.”

The club is going to in-vestigate places such ascemeteries around Lexingtonand Waverly Hills Sanatori-um in Louisville, Ky., Pick-rell said.

“We hope to find a lot ofactivity and people as inter-ested and excited as we are,”Pickrell said.

“I want to do some crazystuff and get involved withnew adventures,” HassanAlomran, a computer sciencesophomore, said.

About three in four Amer-icans admit having at leastone paranormal belief, ac-cording to a Gallup survey.Also, 41 percent of peoplebelieve in extrasensory per-ception, while 37 percent be-lieve in haunted houses.

“My family thinks there’sa high-heeled ghost at mygrandma’s house,” ChelseaBentley, a merchandising, ap-parel and textiles senior, said.“I believe in them because itcould be possible. I guess I’m

gullible.” The British Journal of

Psychology said in a newspa-per survey, 59 percent werebelievers in the paranormal.They found a large sex differ-ence, as 70 percent of femaleswere believers where 48 per-cent of males don’t believe init.

“I have to see it in orderto believe it,” Andrew Jar-rells, a communications sen-ior, said. He is a nonbelieverin paranormal activity.

Pickrell, who is also astaff writer for the Kernel, isin the Appalachian Paranor-mal Study Organization backhome in North Carolina, andwanted to bring it with her toUK.

“Hospitals are my fa-vorite because the spirits arecrying out for help,” Pickrellsaid. “The craziest thing thatI encountered in North Car-olina was when I was at theDevil’s Tramping Groundand was pushed to theground. I’ve always beentouched or spoken to, butnever pushed.”

Visits to children in thehospital range from weeklyvisits to greeting and playingwith kids in the play area atWhittier Ball Park during

baseball season.“They stress grades and

work around my schedule. Imean, I never have to missclass,” Allen said.

His main commitment isvisiting the kids at the chil-dren’s hospital every Thurs-day afternoon, but most othercommitments are on week-ends.

“I would say the averageis about 10 a month,” he said.

She said the commitmentlevel can vary but estimated afew times a month.

At tryouts, students willfill out a questionnaire, andthen interviewed. They willalso try on the costume anddemonstrate their ability to in-teract with people in differentscenarios.

“This helps us to gaugehow they will act in differentsituations, since Stitches ap-pearances vary and Stitchesrepresents Kentucky Chil-dren's Hospital,” Estep said.

Allen said the tryouts arepretty laid back and fun, andhe will be there to help pickthe mascot.

A proposal to shift the oversight of all UK athleticsfrom the UK Athletics Association to a subcommitteeof the university’s Board of Trustees was unanimouslyagreed upon Thursday by a special committee of boardmembers.

The committee also suggested the UK AthleticsAssociation Board of Directors dissolve itself.

The committee was created by Board ChairmanBritt Brockman shortly after former UK President LeeTodd gave UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart acontract extension, and was created to monitor howthe university oversaw athletics.

The proposal will be presented before the entireBoard of Trustees for its approval.

Should it be approved, UK Athletics, which wasalready affiliated with the university, would then be anentity of the university, a land-grant university.

The proposal essentially draws more distinct linesas to who UK Athletics reports to.

If the UKAA Board is dissolved, the new athleticsadvisory committee could offer students and faculty achance to have their voices heard.

For one of just a handful of schools whose athleticdepartments finish the year in the green, it is importantthat the UK community have a say in what athleticsdoes.

The shift in jurisdiction over UK Athletics reas-sures that the university is, at the end of the, day theone in power.

from the front page

After serving two suspensionswhile at Georgia, Ealey was granted atransfer over the summer by Georgiahead football coach Mark Richt. Hechose to transfer to Jacksonville Stateof the Football Championship Subdi-vision, but now returns to familiarSEC stomping grounds in Lexington.

The Cats’ defense, however, is farimproved from a season ago. A defensethat struggled to keep SEC opponentsoff the scoreboard last year (UK al-lowed all eight of its SEC opponents toscore more than 20 points in 2010, fiveof which scored at least 28 points onthe Cats) now has a new look and anew man in charge.

Co-defensive coordinator RickMinter’s 3-3-5 defense has shown im-mense improvements from a year ago,especially in stopping the run. Seniorlinebackers Danny Trevathan and Ron-nie Sneed, along with senior safety

Winston Guy, who has excelled in anew role closer to the line of scrim-mage, will be critical if UK wishes toslow down Ealey and contain theGamecocks offense.

Edge: Defense. Throughout the first halfof the season, the UK defense wasplagued with fatigue and frustration as afaltering offense kept the defense on thefield for the majority of games. If UK’snew defensive scheme, designed to crowdthe line of scrimmage, can successfullyslow down the Gamecocks’ rushing at-tack, they should be able to remain rest-ed and keep up the intensity for a full 60minutes.

UK quarterback Morgan Newton vs.fans’ frustrations

This is an important game in thecareer of junior Morgan Newton asUK’s starting quarterback. Of the 120teams in the Football Bowl Division,Newton and the UK passing attackranks 116th in passing yards per

game, averaging 119. The offensewith Newton under center ranks 118thin scoring with 13 points per game —just nine per game during UK’s four-game losing streak heading into thebye.

With an inconsistent and banged-upoffensive line in front of him, an inex-perienced and even more banged-upstable of running backs behind him anda wide receiving corps that hasn’tshown the ability to catch the ball,Newton’s teammates have not helpedhim out much through the first sixgames. But in critical moments, New-ton has folded, turning scoring touch-downs into a foreign concept for theCats.

Now, Newton finds himself pre-sented with a second chance. A goldenopportunity to redeem himself and turnUK’s season around for the better. Willhe take advantage?

Edge: No, Newton will not take advantageof his opportunity, giving the edge to thealways-evolving frustrations of the fans.

Even against nonconference opponentsearly in the season, like Western Kentuckyand Central Michigan, Newton has strug-gled and relied on the defense, specialteams and rushing attack to bail him out.Once again, a defense with inferior talentwill have its way with the Cats’ signal-caller, and UK’s hopes of a Homecomingwin could be in jeopardy.

Overall Edge: The overall edgegoes to the Cats at home, althoughthe margin of victory will be closerthan many expected when the sea-son started. If the running gamecan establish itself, the defensecan prevent long scoring drivesand senior punter Ryan Tydlackacan work the field position in UK’sfavor, the Cats will improve theirrecord to 3-4. However, if Newtoncannot keep the football and thedefense is exhausted by halftime(the pattern from UK’s last fourlosses) no win is a guarantee. Ex-pect UK to respond and win, but bya narrow margin.

There’s that questionagain.

“Is there any validity to,that you can't win a nationaltitle with one-and-done play-ers?”

It came at UK basket-ball’s Media Day. It will al-ways come, until UK headcoach John Calipari wins atitle with freshmen on histeam.

Regardless of Calipari’snumerous successes his firsttwo years as head coach — a35-3 season, a Final Four,nine NBA draft picks — hisresume still lacks a champi-onship.

And so the perceptionlingers.

And so the questionkeeps coming.

Inexperience is certainlydisadvantageous, especiallywhen it comes down to thoselast few games, when a playor two — or a player whocan make that play or two —is all the difference. Inexperi-ence can impede those playsfrom being made. Calipari

said after last season hethought the Final Four at-mosphere may have gotteninto the heads of his youngplayers.

Terrence Jones had thistelling quote at Media Daywhen asked what it takes towin a championship.

“Obviously from experi-ence I don’t actually know,”Jones said. “But I would saystaying focused. You need toplay the way you played toeven get that far in the firstplace and not worry aboutthe crowd or anything else.”

Drawing on history,though, as the primary rea-son why leaning on freshmenwon’t work is illogical andirrational. After all, otherteams have come close:Michigan’s Fab Five, OhioState with Greg Oden, andboth of Calipari’s UK teams.Syracuse in 2003 had fresh-men as three of its top sixplayers, including CarmeloAnthony, and won it all. Soyoung teams have won big,and occasionally won it all;it’s just that Calipari, at theforefront of the one-and-doneapproach, hasn’t.

Make the breakthrough,and all of a sudden, the Cali-pari Way is added to the sta-ble of Legitimate Ways toWin a Title.

Will it happen?“We’ll see, I guess, as we

go forward,” Calipari said.Calipari says his biggest

concern for this season is histeam’s youth, but he broughtin that youth, and he main-tains he’ll take talent overexperience. Calipari is push-ing the test to the extremeand believing in his methods.

Regardless of whateveryone else thinks.

“Maybe it's right. Maybeit's not right,” Calipari said.“At the end of the day, 10years from now, we'll be ableto look back and say, this ishow it played out. I knowhow it's playing out now. Weare winning a lot of games.”

People think he couldwin more. Maybe if hedidn’t recruit players wholeave so fast. Calipari makesno attempt to hide that UK isa players-first program. Hecould choose to try and per-suade players like BrandonKnight to come back. Tellhim to finish his degree,when Calipari’s own mind ison winning championships.

“I just don’t do it thatway,” Calipari said.

He can prove his wayshould be included in the“right ways” to succeed.

By winning.

Calipari can prove hisone-and-done way works

UK football is by nomeans a powerhouse in col-lege football, something weall should know by now.Even with his success withthe Cats, Paul “Bear” Bryantstill left for greener pasturesin Alabama.

After becoming an exam-ple of the NCAA’s wrath dueto the recruiting violationsduring the Hal Mumme era,Cats’ fans got a quick taste ofsuccess with Guy Morriss de-spite not being able to play inthe bowl game upon finishingthat 7-5 season.

That success continuedwhen Rich Brooks got “hisguys” onto the field in 2006

as the current streak of five-straight bowl games beganwith a victory over Clemsonin the Music City Bowl.

So where do the Catsstand now?

UK is 2-4 and reeling af-ter three consecutive weeksof being absolutely dominat-ed on the field.

My question is, “Have theCats relapsed or is this just aseries of unfortunate events?”

The reasoning behind thisquestion comes from thecomments made earlier thisweek by Jacksonville Statehead coach Jack Crowe.

Having already called thegame a “measuring stick” forhis program, Crowe went onto discuss how he believes hisGamecocks should be highlycompetitive with the Cats.

“I think we are improvingto a point where this gamecould be highly competitiveuntil the very end – with an

opportunity to win,” Crowesaid.

The more telling quotefrom Crowe’s weekly pressconference came momentslater though, when Crowesaid, “We have a handful ofplayers that are just as goodor better than they have attheir positions.”

To any football fan out-side the Bluegrass, they maythink this is a delusionalstatement. Actually, there areprobably still fans in the stateof Kentucky that think this isdelusional regardless of theplay on the field.

When actually looking atthe tale of the tape, however,Crowe is probably correct inmaking that assertion.

Did you ever wonderwhere former Georgia run-ning back Washaun Ealeylanded? Well, look no fur-ther. The Bulldogs’ leadingrusher from the 2009 and

2010 seasons would defi-nitely be the leading man inthe Cats’ backfield, butcould probably do so on aneven larger stage.

Last season as a Bulldog,Ealey had a season-high 28rushing attempts for 157yards and five touchdowns,yes, count them, five touch-downs against UK.

The talent level of theJacksonville State offensiveline could be lacking in theskills department comparedto Georgia, but nevertheless Iexpect Ealey to give UK fitsand be the main reason whythe Cats should be on upsetalert.

The scrambling quarter-back, which has been UK’skryptonite in years past, isever-present on Saturday in

sophomore multi-tool CotyBlanchard.

Blanchard is second onthe team to Ealey in rushingwith 340 yards and threetouchdowns.

He also serves as theteam’s punter, and though hemay be no senior punter RyanTydlacka for UK, Blanchardhas a respectable average of35.8 yards per punt.

Almost forgot, in thewords of Boobie Miles unclein Friday Night Lights,“OOHH! And he can pass!”

The sophomore may beplaying against a lower levelof competition, but his statsdon’t lie when it comes to thefact that his receivers can stillcatch the ball.

He has completed 67 ofhis 113 passes on the seasonfor 860 yards and six touch-downs, all while only throw-ing two interceptions.

The one guy on Jack-sonville State that may havesome explaining to do comeSaturday is senior defensiveend Monte Lewis, whosestats for the season don’t ex-actly back up his opinion.

“I feel as though there aresome guys in our conferencethat is just as good as theplayers they have,” Lewissaid.

He went on to add, “I tryto get after them, no matter ifthey are in the FCS or theFBS.”

Lewis’ dedication shouldbe commended, but if I werein the shoes of UK headcoach Joker Phillips, Croweand Lewis each gave UKbulletin board material thatcould help spark a fire sothat the Cats can finallychalk up a victory onceagain.

Jacksonville State no pushover for UKTalent level is close enough to put Cats on upset alert

Preseason polls arehere, which means collegebasketball season is gettingcloser.

UK was ranked No. 2in the ESPN/USA Todaycoaches poll and receivedone first-place vote. NorthCarolina will start the sea-son at the top of the rank-ings after receiving 30first-place votes.

On UK’s schedule areteams currently ranked No.1 (North Carolina), No. 7(Vanderbilt), No. 8(Louisville), No. 10 (Flori-da), No. 13 (Kansas) andNo. 17 (Alabama).

UK has been ranked in

the preseason top 10 ineach of head coach JohnCalipari’s three years. UKwas ranked No. 5 in 2009-10 and No. 10 last season.

The last time UK wasranked this high was 1995-96, when UK was rankedNo. 1 and ended up win-ning a national champi-onship.

But how much do pre-season rankings indicatewhen compared to whereteams end up?

I went back 13 seasonsand found where in the pre-season polls the nationalchampion originated. Somecome from the top of thepolls. Some come from outof the polls entirely.

Most teams that made

at least the Final Fourcome from the top of therankings. In the 13 seasonsrepresented, the eventualnational champion wasranked in the top four ninetimes. One instance of aslightly lesser ranking (No.9 Duke two seasons ago)winning it all exists, andthere’s three cases of ateam that came from out-side the Top 25 takinghome a title.

Expanding the parametersa bit, the vast majority of Fi-nal Four teams came from theTop 10 (32 out of 52).

Eight times a FinalFour team came from out-side the Top 25. Eighttimes the team ranked No.2 made the Final Four.
