LOS ANGELES — Kristen Stewart, whocelebrated her 23rd birthday this week, wasspotted reveling with on-again-off-againboyfriend Robert Pattinson.

The “Twilight” twosome were seen Tues-day having dinner for Stewart’s big day atMalo, a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles,with about 40 friends, including “SpringBreakers” star Ashley Benson, X17 reported.After dinner, the couple stopped by No Vacan-cy at Hotel Jupiter, where Hanson was havingits album release party, E! News said.

“They weren’t overly affectionate or any-thing, but at points they were standing togeth-er as they talked to friends,” a source told E!News. Perez Hilton, however, reported that thecouple are “%100 BACK ON.”

That would seem like an ordinary birth-day, but one British tabloid decided to givereaders something more to sink their teethinto, reporting Thursday that she received alavish birthday gift from RPattz: a pen.

But not just any pen. It’s supposedly a lim-ited-edition fountain pen with a barrel identi-cal to the dashboard in the earliest Bentley au-tomobile and one of only 40 in the world, ac-cording to the U.K.’s Daily Star. Its estimatedprice was 30,000 British pounds, which con-verts to roughly $46,000.

“Rob decided to go big for her birthdaythis year,” a source said.

registered in advance to at-tend. Keys explained that 350people pre-registered, whileseveral others just walked up.

“All the people that cameand asked questions seemedto be very interested,” Sparkssaid. “Some of the profes-sionals had really thoughtfulpoints and tips for us in the

future.”When the judges came to

their presentation, the girlskept their nerves at ease.

“We were calm when thejudge and psychologist cameup,” Robinson said. “We arejust so passionate about ourresearch, so it was easy totalk about.”

All teams will then beinvited to walk with at leastone or more members onthe track throughout thenight.

The Luminaria Ceremo-ny is at midnight. Luminar-ias, which are white paperbags with a glow stick in-side, can be purchased for$5 and are decorated to re-member those who havepassed or are battling can-cer.

“That’s definitely themost emotional part of thenight. A lot of people do cry,which is understandable,”said Brad Harris, economicsand finance senior, execu-tive director for UK’s Relayfor Life committee andeight-time participant.

The event ends with theFight Back Ceremony, anenergetic finale where teamstake one more lap and writeways they vow to fight backagainst cancer.

“It’s supposed to mimichow a cancer patient’s daywould go,” Harris said. “Asthe sun goes down, it getscolder and fighting getsharder. The sun comes backup and there’s hope in fight-ing back.”

But the night will befilled with more than just

the relay.The theme this year is

Disney, so team memberswho are not walking can en-joy various Disney-themedgames, such as Disney triv-ia, a Prince Charming con-test and more.

“We’ve come up with somuch stuff to make surepeople have ways to staybusy for 12 hours,” Shrigleysaid.

Participants are encour-aged to dress up for the var-ious themed laps, which in-clude everything from Epcotto Space Mountain.

Participants wearingcostumes can earn spiritpoints, and the person withthe most spirit points willreceive a prize at the end ofthe event.

The ultimate purpose forthe event is to raise moneyfor the American Cancer So-ciety. All profits go towardcancer research, treatmentand prevention.

UK’s Relay for Life hasset a goal to raise $40,000this year. Last year, theyraised about $22,000. Cur-rently, about $16,500 hasbeen raised.

“It’s hard to project howmuch we’ll make,” Raggiosaid. “But we’re hoping tobe at least near $30,000 bythis weekend.”

Teams pay a $10 regis-tration fee and are encour-aged (but not required) to

raise at least $100. Teamswho raise $100 or more geta T-shirt and access to cater-ing from Qdoba, Starbucks,Raising Cane’s, Magee’sBakery and more.

The top three teams andthe top three individuals toraise the most money willget a prize. As of Monday,team FIJI was in the leadwith about $1,650, followedby team Alpha Phi and teamSigma Alpha Epsilon.

Harris is the team cap-tain for FIJI. Shrigley, fromteam AOPII, was in the leadfor individuals with about$620.

Donations are also ac-cepted by cash or check atFriday’s event, or by creditcard atRelayForLife.org/kentucky.

Individuals can registernew teams, join existingteams or sign up as volun-teers up until the day of theevent.

“I think the majority ofpeople have been affected(by cancer) in some way,whether they lost someoneto it or know someonewho’s had it,” Raggio said.“(Relay for Life) is a greatway to learn more about itand how you can help.”

“We are going to haveopen meetings for the kick-off of the design at 30, 60 andthen 90 percent of completionof the trail, so it’s going to bean open process,” Kearnssaid.

“The particular alignmentof this trail has been part ofthe planning process for thecity and university for over12 years,” Tedder said.

It was first listed in 2002on the Lexington FayetteCounty Greenway MasterPlan, according to Tedder. Itwas listed again in 2005 on

the UK Bicycle Plan, and itwas included as a high-priori-ty project in the 2007 Bicycleand Pedestrian Master Plan.

and colleges throughout Illi-nois, Indiana, Kentucky andOhio, according to the orga-nization’s website. There areroughly 1,700 college stu-dents that mentor more than1,500 children throughCMFK.

“College Mentors forKids is an amazing programthat truly changes the lives ofeveryone involved,” saidRachel Allgeier, a mentor forUK’s chapter.

This is the first year UKhas a chapter in the program.There are 24 fourth- andfifth-graders from HarrisonElementary who come tocampus each week to engage

in activities geared towardhigher education, communityservice, culture and diversity,according to Emily Pena,UK’s chapter president.

By bringing the childrento campus, CMFK hopes todevelop a mindset for thechildren that college is a real-istic opportunity for them andto help them reach their fullpotential.

The first year for UK’schapter is coming to a close,but the group is looking toexpand.

Next year they will have80 pairs of mentors and “littlebuddies,” according to Pena.All of the children will be

Harrison Elementary third-,fourth- and fifth-graders.

Pena is certain that theycan manage the increase, dueto the tremendous responsethe program has had.

“We have learned a lotover the course of the year tocontinue to help us grow andserve more children in theLexington area,” she said.

Allgeier also looks for-ward to the future of the pro-gram.

“I hope that our programcontinues to grow and impactas many students as possible.”

CMFK has conductedstudies that show 77 percentof kids say they now try hard-er in school, 84 percent havelearned about different jobs,87 percent have learned about

finances, money and savings,and 93 percent want to go tocollege.

to see smoke rising and peoplerunning,” Hancock said. “Afew seconds later I heardsirens, as well. I wasn't surewhat had happened so I justturned on the local news andsoon found out.”

Hancock said that a familyfriend who traveled to Bostonto watch him race was stand-ing at the finish line.

“He said they physicallyshook him, and chaos ensued,”Hancock said. “He and othersknocked over the barriers andran into the street away fromthe blasts. He didn't personallysee injuries, but he felt like atthe time it was too loud anddestructive to be an accidentalexplosion.”

Andrea Malji, a PhD can-didate who teaches a course ti-tled “Terrorism and PoliticalViolence” at UK, agrees thatthe event was likely a terroristattack.

According to Malji, thereare several factors to look forin determining whether an at-tack is terroristic, including apolitical motive, civilian tar-gets, influence of a broad audi-ence and premeditation. All ofthese factors were present,Malji said.

The simultaneous mannerin which the bombs were deto-nated is characteristic of Al-Qaeda attacks, according toMalji. However, other factorsled her to speculate about thepossibility of another suspectgroup.

Malji found it ironic thatApril 15 is Patriot’s Day, andalso the deadline to file taxeswith the IRS. Boston is alsothe location of the historicalBoston Tea Party, an event thatprotested the unfair taxation ofAmerican citizens.

“All three of these factorsmade me wonder if it could bea far Right-Wing group,”Malji said.

In an address from theWhite House, PresidentBarack Obama said, “We willfind out who did this and wewill hold them accountable."

As of around 7:30 p.m. onMonday, Hancock said thatabout a square mile around thescene was roped off.

Davis urged Boston citi-zens to return to their homesand hotels until further notice.

“I feel like Boston hashandled everything appropri-ately post-incident,” Hancocksaid. “All bags that were left atthe scene were checked by thelocal authorities. There are po-lice officers and SWAT teammembers on every corner right

now.” Malji said that increased

security is to be expected as aresult of the event.

“Whenever these attackshappen … where there arelarge congregations, you’regoing to see heightened securi-ty,” she said.

Some students have ex-pressed concern over the pos-sibility of a similar event oc-curring during the KentuckyDerby Festival events takingplace early next month.

“I think it's natural to haveworrisome thoughts about anykind of big gatherings so closeto this happening,” Hancocksaid. “I hate that these kinds ofevents are almost becomingregular, and I wouldn't blame aperson for not wanting to at-tend Derby because of this.”

Kim Schroer, a Kentucky-native who attends BostonCollege, shared Hancock’sfeelings about the unfortunate-ness of the event.

“This is a holiday for us.To have complete excitementand happiness switch to terrorand shock is just awful. It'sone of the worst feelings in theworld,” she said. “The onlything we could think about iswhether the close friends wehad just cheered on as theypassed us at mile 21 wereokay.”

UK baseball seeks to curbits recent skid whenLouisville comes to Cliff Ha-gan Stadium on Tuesday at6:30 p.m.

Freshman right-handedpitcher Kyle Cody (3-1, 4.60ERA) will start against No.8Louisville (28-7) for the No.17 Cats (24-11, 7-8 SEC),who lost five out of sevengames after defeating theCardinals 5-4 in 10 inningstwo weeks ago in Louisville.

UK responded to a three-game sweep at LSU twoweekends ago with winsagainst Austin Peay last Tues-day and Friday night againstTennessee in a comeback 5-4victory.

But the Cats fell behindagain on Saturday and Sun-day, falling just short in a ral-

ly Saturday in a 10-9 Volun-teers win and garnering littleoffense in the series-clinching5-0 win by the visitors.

At a press conferenceMonday, UK head coach GaryHenderson admits his club isin the middle of a slump.

“When you go throughthat rough patch, the thingsthat you aren’t doing arethings you were doing. Theabsolute basics; two-strikeapproach at the plate, all of asudden you’re taking morecalled thirds because you’reoverthinking a little bit whenyou weren’t doing that early,”Henderson said.

“But I think the pressurecomes not doing the thingsyou have been doing. We’vegot a good club. But wehaven’t played well for twoweeks now. And that’s thetruth.“

The upcoming schedule

does the Cats no favors, be-ginning with Tuesday’s gameagainst the Cardinals. For thesecond time in three weeks,UK will play Louisville thentravel to a nationally-rankedconference opponent for athree-game series (at No. 14South Carolina this week-end).

First, the Cats will facethe Cardinals, who sweptElon in a three-game serieslast weekend. Junior infielderTy Young leads Louisville inbatting average (.400), hits(50), home runs (3) and runsbatted in (39). Young also has18 stolen bases.

Sophomore infielder Sut-ton Whiting is hitting .345with 19 runs batted in. Junioroutfielder Cole Sturgeon isalso hitting .345 with 23 runsbatted in.

Junior outfielder and teamcaptain Adam Engel has 30

stolen bases, leading the Car-dinals.

UK’s Cody startedagainst Louisville on April 2,allowing three runs (twoearned) on four hits through-out 6.1 innings. Cody alsoworked into the sixth inning

last Tuesday against AustinPeay, collecting his third winof the year.

Sophomore first basemanA.J. Reed hit his ninth homerun of the season Saturday, agrand slam in the ninth in-ning. Reed leads the Cats in

home runs, hits (42) and runsbatted in (37).

Tuesday’s game will betelevised on FOX SportsSouth at 6:30 p.m. Head foot-ball coach Mark Stoops willthrow out the ceremonial firstpitch.

Cats look to reverse poor play from last weekend

UK guard and two-timeSEC Player of the Year A’diaMathies was selected No. 10by the Los Angeles Sparks inthe WNBA Draft Mondaynight. Mathies’ selectionmakes her the highest draftpick in program history.

Mathies led UK to itsthird Elite Eight in four years.The Cats lost to eventualchampion Connecticut, 83-53, on April 1. Mathies is UKHoops’ all-time winningest

senior, along with teammateBrittany Henderson.

Mathies ranks in the top10 of 13 all-time statisticalcategories at UK, includingfirst in games played (140),games started (139) and steals(320). Mathies finished hercareer second in scoring, tal-lying 2,014 points in fouryears. She is the fifth playerin UK basketball history,men’s and women’s, to breakthe 2,000 point mark.

Mathies finished secondin 3-point field goals made(177) and field goals attempt-ed (1,687), third in field goalsmade (712), free throws made(413) and attempted (590),and ninth in assists (349).

Mathies becomes the sec-ond first round pick from UKin the last three years. In2011, Victoria Dunlap wasselected at No. 11 by theWashington Mystics.

“She did so much for the

Kentucky program while sheas here and we had no doubtshe was one of the top play-ers in the country,” UKHoops head coach MatthewMitchell said. “Being chosenas a first-round pick justshows what she did for usand how hard she has workedto get here. I think the LosAngeles Sparks made a greatpick.”

kernel. we do it daily.

CHRISTOPHER EPLING, Kernel cartoonist

This is second in a series about the life ofa UK student-athlete.

Being a student-athletecan be very strenuous onboth your mind and yourbody and it is very timeconsuming.

Most of an athlete’s dayis already planned out forthem and they don’t havevery much time to them-selves.

When I asked differentathletes about their sched-ules, some of the respons-es were gruesome.

UK Hoops sophomoreJelleah Sydney gave a full description of her

day. “A basic day for me is very long. Mylongest days are when we have weights inthe morning. I go to weight lifting at 7 a.m.-8 a.m. then I can shower and maybe get asnack before I head to my tutor at 9 a.m.That tutor ends at 9:50 a.m. then I go class10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m., class 12 p.m.-12:50p.m. and class 1 p.m.-1:50 p.m.

“Then after that class I head over to thegym to get ready for practice at 3 p.m. I’musually able to eat the sandwich that I packwhile I’m getting ready at this time. Then Ihave practice from about 3 p.m.-5:30 p.m.Then we have mandatory study hall from 7p.m.-9 p.m.”

Many of their decisions are made forthem. There are so many rules that you haveto follow as a UK student athlete.

UK’s name carries a lot of pride behindit. As an athlete attending the university, youare an extension of the leaders of the school.You are a direct outlet for people to see whatUK as a whole is really about.

So, in order to make sure that the univer-sity is being correctly represented, there is acertain way student-athletes have to carrythemselves. Whether is it in public or in theclassroom or through social media, there arethings a UK student-athlete can and cannotdo.

Student-athletes are never just free to ex-press themselves. There is a very fine linedrawn and they are not allowed to cross it.

“We always have to watch what we puton Twitter or Instagram because there is al-ways someone checking up on you,” said

Farrington Huguenin, UK sophomore foot-ball player. “It’s not like regular college kidsyou can put whatever they want and saywhatever they want. Our coaches expect usto be adults and to be responsible so youcan’t just go on the Internet cursing or ex-pressing your feelings about certain issuesthat are going on.”

Huguenin also explained that some of therestrictions are for the best because they willhave you portrayed in a light that you wantto be in.

Although he may think it is for the best,some student-athletes don’t like not havingthat same amount of freedom that most col-lege students have.

Hopes were high for UKClub dodgeball last week asthe National CollegiateDodgeball Association cham-pionship tournament ap-proached, with the No. 2 Catsplaying host. After reachingthe Final Four on Sunday, theCats were disappointed tomeet their end at the hands ofthe eventual champions,Grand Valley State.

UK senior captain ZacBrown was still pleased with

his team, despite the defeat."I am extremely proud of

how my team composedthemselves this year. We hada phenomenal team and agreat group of guys," Brownsaid.

After beating No. 22 PennState, 9-0, on Friday night,the Cats advanced to beat No.5 Michigan State, 4-2, andNo. 14 Bowling Green State,4-0, to wrap up the groupstage, determining who theCats would play come Sun-day.

On Friday and Saturday,

many UK fans showed up towitness the action, as free T-shirts were given to the first100 fans to arrive wearingUK blue.

"I can say without adoubt that our games againstPenn State and Ohio Statewere the best crowds that wehave ever had, with nearly1,000 people in the gym dur-ing those games," Brownsaid.

UK were selected to faceNo. 15 Miami (Ohio) in theSweet Sixteen, pulling out a5-0 victory.

UK faced No. 8 OhioState in the Elite Eight, andwere surprised to be down 2-0 at halftime. However, a sec-ond-half rally saw the Cats tiethe game at 2-2 by the end ofregulation, and move on tosteal a 3-2 victory in over-time, advancing them to theFinal Four for a second con-secutive season.

As predicted by senior as-sistant captain Dakota Taylor,the Cats ran into No. 6 GrandValley State of Michigan, ateam familiar with postseasonsuccess, in the semifinal. De-spite a strong team effort, theCats fell to Grand Valley, 3-1,ending their hopes of a cham-pionship.

Grand Valley State wenton to defeat Michigan State inthe final.

Despite the disappoint-ment at the end of his finalseason with the Cats, Brownis still optimistic about thesolidarity of UK's team nextseason.

"We are graduating a fewseniors this year, but we willreturn around 13 of our rosterfrom the Nationals squad,"Brown said.

Next year's nationals areto be hosted by Ohio State.
