J.J. Jackson loves to cook.
Not the kittd of cooking that involves a pre-

prefers cooking with unaltered ingredients.

“I love transforming raw materials into
something.” said Jackson. L'K‘s vice president
for institutiortal diversity. "To fully appreciate

86 back
to the
green fee,
again

Student Government will vote on
whether it supports a “green fee" dur-
ing its Wednesday meeting.

At last week‘s SG Senate meeting,
Sen. Robert Kahne presented a resolution
saying $6 to $8 of student fees should go
to sustainability efforts. The resolution
Would reflect the Senate‘s opinion and
not directly bring any change to student
fees,

A decision on Kahne‘s resolution
was postponed after Sen. Mark Rouse
presented an amendment to the resolu-
tion.

The amendment says UK President
Lee Todd should sign the American Col-
lege arid University Presidents Climate
Commitment. a plan that asks UK to de-
velop a plan “to achieve climate neutrali~
ty." according to the amendment. It also
says U K should appoint a sustainability
coordinator who will be held accountable
for sustainability efforts.

"When I read the resolution. it looks
like a blank check." Rouse said of the
original resolution after he introduced
the amendment at last week's SG meet-
ing. “We need to discuss it more."

Kahne said Tuesday that the
amendment should be pulled. and the
entire resolution should be tabled for at
least a month.

“After two weeks of working on
this issue. we are pretty sure that
Mark‘s heart is in the right place. but
the actual words of the amendment
don't make sense." Kahne said.

No matter whether or not his resolu—
tion is approved. Kahne said he is form—
ing a committee that will meet once a
week for a month to discuss how to al-
locate rt‘ioney front a green fee. Anyone
can contribute to the discussion. Kahne
said. and the committee‘s first meeting
will be at 3:30 pm. Friday in the $6 of—
fice. in the Stttdent Center.

The committee will discuss fortit-
ing a student group that would control
the money. he said.

The 80 Senate meeting will be in
Room Kit of the new L'nrversrty Health
Center at 8 pm. Wednesday. Meetings
are free and open to the public.

During Wednesday's meeting. sena-
tors will also vote on giving $5.000 from

Her new single, “woman-

airplay, but it‘s Britney

one buzzing. A source close

1200 calories per day.“ says
the insider of the three meals

prised of 30 percent protein,
40 percent carbs and 30 per-
cent fat). "She loves the
turkey burger. chipotle chick—
en wrap and lasagna. She also
gets a sugar-free dessert two
to three times per week.“ And
staying active is key. Another
source says she works out
with a trainer for up to two
hours. three times a week (30
minutes of cardio. then
strength training). in addition
to dance rehearsals. which are
“her way of having fun and
working off steam."

man, 37, picked up an award
for her spoof video “I'm F —
king Matt Damon," she
thanked Kimmel, “who broke
my heart — oh — who’ll al-

Gators blocking UK’s title hopes

_By Mot: Cardin!
mcamfieldékykernelcom

For arty championship-seeking team.
there‘s always one opponent that stands in the
way.

For the UK women‘s volleyball team. that
team is No. 9 Florida. who the Cats will face
off against Friday night in Gainesville, Fla.

The Cats will ride a l2—match winning
streak into Friday's game. the longest since
head coach Craig Skinner has been at UK. but
will face a Gators squad that has an even more
impressive streak: l7 straight regular season
Southeastem Conference Championships.

“Florida's very well coached. they have a
very good program. good athletes. they‘re
trained at a high level and their record and tra—
dition speaks for itself." Skinner said. “It's a
good match and a fun match to look forward
to. I think our players are excited. but again.
it‘s the next match on our schedule."

The Cats are now ranked 25th in the coun-
try. the first time they've cracked the polls
since 1993. With the Gators and UK being the
final two teams to remain undefeated in SEC
play. Friday's game will give the winner the in-
side track to winning the regular season crown.

“They are ranked No. 9. but we‘ve finally
proven that we deserve to be in the top—25."
junior libero BriAnne Sauer said. “We just

need to go in there and compete against them
like every other team we have."

Despite the dominance of the Gators in this
series. the Cats insist that Florida is just anoth-
er opponent on the schedule and every year
poses new competition and new styles of play.
When it all boils down however. sophomore
outside hitter Sarah Mendoza believes the pres-
sure lies more heavily on Florida.

"We're Kentucky. we haven‘t been unde»
feated in the SEC over the years." Mendoza
said. "The thing that I like about this team is
that we don't psych ourselves out."

The Cats will need to focus much of their
attention on Florida freshman setter Kelly
Murphy. She came to Florida as the nation‘s
top recruit according to PrepVolleyball.com.
Already this year. Murphy has been named
SEC Freshman of the Week multiple times.
SEC Offensive Player of the Week and Sports
Imports/American Volleyball Coaches Associ-
ation Division I National Player of the Week.

“You have to respect Florida and what
they‘ve accomplished and. to go along with that,
I think our players do a really good job at re—
specting all of our opponents." Skinner said. “We
have a very competitive group. a very intemally
driven group and I think they‘ll be as prepared to
play Friday night as they are any other match. I
think our system and things that we train for in
practice will help us to be successful."

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Out-of-state players flocking to Cats

By BW Jones
biones@kykernel.com

There‘s one ice rink in the
whole city. Youth hockey is
nonexistent throughout the
state. There's no room in the
budget for scouting or recruit—
ing. No one is ever guaran-
teed a spot on the team and
no scholarships are offered.

Despite this. the UK
hockey team continues to pull
in quality hockey players
from around the country year
after year. Junior defenseman
Alex Robinson. a native of
Dayton. Ohio. estimates that
this year's team represents “at
least seven states."

In fact. only a handful of

team members hail from Ken-
tucky. where high school
hockey teams are little more
than a novelty. UK head coach
Rob Docherty. who grew up in
Canada. said that many of the
best players in the state leave
to compete in leagues in
Cincinnati and parts of Indiana
to find competition with com—
parable talent.

Senior foiyvard Chris Pro-
tenic. at Louisville native. is

 

one of the few homegrown
stars on the team.

"People think that be»
cause I‘m from Kentucky
(and play hockey) that l have
some secret power that makes
me better than everyone else
from Kentucky." Protenic
said. “But really it‘s just hard
work and all the time I put
into it."

Docherty said that the
team‘s budget and his schedule
don‘t allow for any recruiting

Still. Dochei‘ty said that
the team receives hundreds of
emails every year from play-
ers inquiring about the pro-
gram. A typical visit by a
prospective player may iii—
clude a visit to the team prac—
tice on Thursday night. fol—
lowed by a tour of campUs on
Friday. Then their team
throws one of their biggest
recruiting tools at players: a
midnight game on Friday.

"I really only wanted to
go.to t7K because as a ll»
year—old. I came and saw my

Apple has Genius creation for listeners

'l‘echnology has come a long
way since the day I got my first cas-
sette tape. As a matter of fact. I'm
not even sure you can get a cassette
very easily these days. Nowadays
everything is dig-
ital and if you're
looking to com-
pile the dopest
music in your
collection. you
would usually go
the playlisting
route. Recently.
i'l‘unes has intro—
duced a feature

‘ that for you.
columnist

This new fea-
ture is called Ge-
nius and it com—
piles information from the songs in
your iTunes library to figure out
which songs ‘ go good together" Is it
just me or does this take all the fun
out of making a playlist‘. ’ As a radio
Dl. 1 put a lot of time into compiling
what 1 play. making sure that each
song builds off the previous ones
energy. mixing digital and vinyl to
come up with something that I like
and my listeners like. is there really
an iTunes feature that can do thisjust
as well as 1 can‘.‘ I decided to try it

that does all of

out. and what I came up With was
rather surprising.

.As a recovering vinyl addict and
a firm believer that it takes hard
work to find great mUsic. Genius
seemed like it was robbing listeners
of experience. But Genius does a
great job retrieving long forgotten
music from the stacks of my ever ex-
panding i'l‘unes library. After one
simple click of the Genius button. I
found myself reacquainted with
songs l had dismissed a long time
ago ! gems buried somewhere un-
der stacks of C D's and records. After
reminiscing for a hot minute. I
sought out the exiled records and im—
mediately re-listened to and fell in
love with them all over again. Ge—
nius also comes in handy when com-
ing up with the right soundtrack for
any occasion.

Say you're upset because you
failed a logic test. You head home
and find that smooth Herbie Han—
cock track that always calms you
down and hit that Genius button.
Boom! You‘ve got yourself a list of
feel-good songs for the rest of the
day. 1 could also see this coming in
handy on Valentine‘s Day. This fea—
ture could help you finally get some
use out of your impressive Barry
White and Teddy Pendergrass collec—

tion. This is what it does. but how
does it work"
Well. when you activate Genius

in your iTunes library it sends all of

your information to the Apple iTunes
Web site. When you play a track and
want to find others that go great with
it. hit the (ieiiius button on your bot—
tom left. sit back and watch. Genius
connects to the Web and finds out
what other people who listen to the
same stuff as you dig. [)oii't won‘y
music pirates. Apple won‘t rat you
out. it only compares your music
with other people who have iTunes
accounts. it doesn't check whether
its copy written or not .so you don‘t
have to worry about making a feder—
al case out of this.

()verall. Genius is a great feature
for the listener on the move. You can
rediscover old favorites or discover
something you never even knew you
had with relative ease. I think I'll
stick with the old-fashioned playlist.
I‘ve come a long way frotn recording
my favorite songs off the radio onto
cassette. nonetheless. I don‘t think
I'm ready to embrace Genius as my
musical puppet master just yet.

by a producer in the bottom of a
basement. Next they were given
a chance when their music video
debuted in student centers at col-
lege campuses around the world

"The fact that MTV choose
our video to compete against
other bands was a big step for
us. At least mtvU was listening
to us." said Aaron Morgan. keys
and vocals for Seabird.

Seabird is coming to campus
Wednesday night. but Morgan
said for them this is not just an-
other college campus; it‘s like
coming home. Morgan said all
the band members are from
Kentucky or Cincinnati.

“1 think since it‘s our home
state and that to us is really ex-
citing." Morgan said. "We feel
like we have some sort of con-
nection with the audience."

Seabird is a four-person
band. but Morgan said he is the
only original member. Being the
first member of the band. he got

to come up with their band
name.

“The name comes from my
