UK students will be ableto hear the eldest daughter ofcivil rights activist Malcolm
X discussheritage andlegacy dur-ing a lectureWednesday.
AttallahS h a b a z z ,daughter ofMalcolm Xand Betty
Shabazz, is a scholar-in-resi-dency at the University ofLouisville and has a mini-tourof speaking dates in CentralKentucky, said ChesterGrundy, director of the Mar-tin Luther King Jr. CulturalCenter.
Her lecture “EmbracingYour Legacy. ‘EverybodyHas One,’” will be held at 7p.m. in the Student CenterCenter Theater. The event isfree and open to the public.
Grundy said Shabazz’s
agent contacted UK about thepossibility of her coming tospeak on campus.
Malcolm X was one ofthe most important in socialissues and politics of the cen-tury in this country, Grundysaid, and Shabazz’s familyhas been at the center of his-tory.
Shabazz was 6 at the timeof her father’s death, andGrundy said that she emergedas an adult in a much morepublic way than her siblings.
He said Malcolm X’sthinking was visionary, far-reaching and profound andthat his eldest daughter is a
“humanitarian of the first or-der.”
“She is, in her own right,a real champion of values weshould all aspire to,” Grundysaid.
In 2002, Shabazz was ap-pointated as an ambassador-at-large by the prime ministerof Belize.
Grundy said he first metShabazz 24 years ago whenshe was touring with thedaughter of Martin LutherKing Jr. in a play called“Stepping Into Tomorrow.”
Grundy said the event is acollaboration of five campus
F-16 models and flighthelmets adorn the walls of Lt.Col. Gregory Franklin’s large,immaculate office.
“People give you thesethings, you take them home,and the wife doesn’t likethem as decoration, so theycome to the office,” Franklinsaid.
His laughter dissipatedthe intimidating presence ofhis office decor, and helooked perfectly comfortableseated in the midst of his pro-fession’s trappings.
“I came from an AirForce family so I grew up do-ing this,” Franklin, the Uni-versity of Kentucky’s newAir Force ROTC commander,said.
Franklin’s office reflectshis job. He prepares hiscadets to be as well-suited tothe challenging tasks theywill face as leaders in the AirForce as he is to his intimi-dating office surroundings.
“The mission here ispreparing young people to beleaders in the Air Force,”Franklin said.
The trajectory that ledFranklin to UK in July beganyears ago and consists of a
series of promotions. “In the Air Force, you get
promoted at regular intervalsbased on competency,”Franklin explained. “It’s avery rewards based system.”
Franklin joined the AirForce after graduating theROTC program at TexasState in 1989. His top-notchcareer in the military then be-gan.
“I did everything from in-structing pilots to flyingfighter planes in Alaska andKorea,” Franklin said. Heflew F-16 aircraft and servedas an instructor, then servedfor two years at the Pentagon.
He said he was motivatedby the opportunity for ad-vancement the Air Force pro-vided.
“It’s really just a rank thatallows you to take on moreresponsibility,” Franklin said.
After his stint at the Penta-gon, he said he had “the rareopportunity to fly F-15 air-craft as an aggressor pilot.”
Franklin’s experience fly-ing F-15 and F-16 aircraftwas part of his involvementwith a massive training exer-cise called Red Flag. RedFlag gives recruits a chanceto practice flying in a largegroup with a variety ofplanes, like they will in com-bat.
“You can’t just fly intobattle having never workedwith all of these different
planes,” Franklin said. The training exercise oc-
curs four times a year inAlaska and Nevada. Franklincommanded a unit at RedFlag and had the huge re-sponsibility of coordinatingplanes from across the nationemployed for the exercise. Healso flew as an aggressor pi-lot in the exercise, meaningthat he simulated the enemyby flying a plane made tolook like an enemy aircraft.
Despite his prestigiousbackground in the Air Force,Franklin said he views his
new job at UK as a reward. “I see it as a possibility
for me to pass on what Iknow but also as a reward,because I get to do somethingI like,” Franklin said.
And what does he likeabout being at UK?
“I get to be at college andnot take any tests,” Franklinjoked. He has been impressedwith the involvement, leader-ship and academic accom-plishments of the new cadetsunder his command.
“It’s amazing that the lev-el of quality is so much high-
er than when I was a cadet,”Franklin said.
His new job at UK is dif-ferent from some of the jobshe has held in the past.
“When your subordinatesare competent expert fighterpilots, it’s extremely easy todo well as an organization,”Franklin said. “The level ofperformance is off the charts.Cadets are a completely dif-ferent situation. They are justlearning to be competent.They need to learn lessons.”

UK HealthCare andNorton Healthcare joinedforces Monday to improvestatewide health care.
The affiliation will fo-cus on four areas: clinicalservices, teaching services,federal healthcare reformand children’s health is-sues.
With the alliance, thetwo companies hope to de-velop a pre-eminentstatewide system of care thatwill expand the servicesavailable to Kentucky hospi-tals, a press release said. Thetwo companies’ focus willbe on developing strongerclinical partnershipsthroughout the Common-wealth.
Norton Healthcare Presi-dent and CEO StephenWilliams said he believesthe alliance will strengthenhis Louisville-based compa-ny.
“Norton delivers themost babies in Kentucky,but we do not have an ob-stetrics training,” he said.“With UK, we’ll be able toget that training in place.”
The decision to formal-ize the two companies’ on-going alliances in clinicalprograms, workforce, educa-tion and research comes af-
ter leadership from both or-ganizations met to discusstheir experiences in provid-ing the full continuum ofcare for patients within alarge geographic area, andhow best to serve those pa-tients in a rapidly changingenvironment, the releasesaid.
UK Executive Vice Pres-ident for Health Affairs Dr.Michael Karpf said the part-nership would be synergis-tic. UK HealthCare willlook at areas where NortonHealthcare needs help andwill to improve itself inthose areas.
“"They share the samevalues we have, and (we)think they are an excellentpartner for us," Karpf said.
The partnership has beenin the works for 18 months,Karpf said. During this time,UK HealthCare focused oncontinuing the academicmedical center’s evolutioninto a destination provider ofadvanced subspecialty carein Kentucky and surround-ing states, the press releasesaid.
One of the main reasonsfor the alliance is to keep pa-tients in Kentucky, Karpfand Williams said.
“We want to make it sopatients do not have toleave the state to receivegood health care,” Williamssaid.

Being original is hardwork, sure, but this is ridicu-lous.
For her follow-up to thewildly successful “The DevilWears Prada,” screenwriterAline Brosh McKenna hasgiven us ... the same movie allover again?
Oh, there are a few differ-ences between “Prada” andthe new comedy “MorningGlory.” Superficial ones.
“Prada,” of course, wasabout an ambitious/naiveyoung woman who gets a jobat a fashion magazine andmust contend with a miser-able, abusive boss.
“Morning Glory” is aboutan ambitious/naive youngwoman who gets a job pro-ducing a network morningshow and must contend with a
miserable, abusive anchorman.
The hard-working Becky(Rachel McAdams) can't be-lieve her good luck in landinga network gig even if it's on ashow that's perennially last inthe ratings. (She also strikesup a hot little affair with aproducer from the news divi-sion, played by Patrick Wil-son.)
To boost ratings, Beckyfires the male anchor and ma-neuvers to have network newslegend Mike Pomeroy (Harri-son Ford) step in. On airPomeroy is sullen and mono-syllabic. He quickly alienateshis co-host (Diane Keaton,who's underused) by refusingto participate in any of theshow's “fun” features. Off airhe radiates contempt toward
Becky.The main reason to give
“Morning Glory” a try is therelationship between the sourPomeroy and the scrambling,struggling Becky, evolvingfrom hostility to grudging tol-erance and finally a muted af-fection.
Ford seems to be having afine old time as the sarcastic,imperial veteran broadcaster,delivering withering put-downs with a sardonicism asdry as the Sahara.
McAdams goes beyondthe cute-young-thing andmakes Becky a workaholicwho's a bit challenged in thelove department.
It's not much, but it'senough to keep our interest.
‘Morning Glory’ a remade ‘Prada”

Now is the winter of ourdiscontent. Seriously, it blows.
Fall in Kentucky has loveaffairs with fluctuating hot andcold temperatures, but it seemslike autumn has settled for hericy mistress.
Some of you may havefound wrapped in layers, whileothers insisted on wearing shortskirts and UGG Boots. Yourfeet say winter, but your torsossay summer. Pick a season.
The problem is the conceptof winter is largely subjective;Canadians might consider aKentucky winter balmy andlacking some of the panache ofa harsh Canadian winter.
I don’t miss Canadian win-ters, but I do miss using theextensive winter vocabularygranted to Canadians.
Toque (pronounced “tuke,”rhymes with “fluke”): TheCanadian term for a knit capworn to keep your head warm(i.e. Hey everyone! He saidhe’s wearing a toque! Oh, himand his Canadian nonsense.Whaddya call that thing again?A toque? Wow).
Toboggan: Does NOTmean headwear. Toboggan issynonymous with “sled,” ac-cording to the Oxford EnglishDictionary of Wintry Phrasesand Terms. How and whyAmericans started using thisterm interchangeably with“toque” is beyond me (i.e. Youcan’t wear a toboggan on yourhead. That’s foolish).
Mittens: Like gloves, butfor those that want to avoidtasks that require fine-motorskills (i.e. Dale wanted to helpset up the life-size NativityScene, but his mittens madehim as useless as a small infant).
Curling: A sport relativelyfew care to play, yet it was per-fected by Canadians (i.e. We
were so bored, we resorted toa game of curling to pass thetime).
Ton-ton: The furry kanga-roo-like creature Han Solo cutopen with Luke Skywalker’slightsaber so he and Skywalkercould survive a night on the iceplanet Hoth (i.e. She knew itwas true love when he offeredher his ton-ton on that coldnight).
Snowjob: When you goface first into some white pow-der … after you have crashedinto a snowbank whilestrapped to skis or a snowboard(i.e. Gnarly snowjob, bruh).
Snuggies: The blanketwith sleeves! Worn by thosewho get cold easily or those ina cult (i.e. I feel completelyuseless without my Snuggie).
Double-double: Not whatDwight Howard routinelyrecords for the Orlando Magic,but a cup of coffee with twocreams, two sugars (i.e. I toldmy assistant to get me somemore coffee because he didn’tmake it a double-double. ThenI fired him).
Tim Horton’s: Where yougo to get a double-double, tim-bit and friendly smile from aCanadian working in the serv-ice industry (i.e. Let’s go toTim Horton’s because I’m ad-dicted to timbits).
‘Tis the season to use theseterms, so add them to the ver-nacular.
After all, according toShakespeare, a winter of dis-content was only made glori-ous summer by a son of York.
Unfortunately, I’m un-aware of any thespians preg-nant with the next King ofEngland, so we’ll have to en-dure winter the old-fashioned,yet Canadian way: by sittinginside.

There’s a do-it-all widereceiver on the UK footballteam. He’s set personal bestsin receptions and yards thisyear, and he’s also a majorcontributor on special teams.
Randall Cobb receivesmost of the spotlight, but fel-low junior Matt Roark keepshimself busy on game day aswell. He serves as UK’s No.4 receiver, but he’s also astandout on Greg Nord’s spe-cial teams. Unlike many spe-cial-teamers, who have onejob or only play on one ortwo special teams, Roark hasa job on every one of them.
“We put him in key andvital positions on every oneof the teams,” special teamscoordinator Greg Nord said.“We put him on the hardestassignment usually, becausewe know that he’ll match upwell and be able to makesome plays. He brings enthu-siasm to the group, and
everybody rallies behindhim.”
Cobb is listed as aWR/QB/HL/PR/KR in themedia guide. Nord said thathe’d have to classify Roark asa “receiver, coverage, block-er, and special teams wherewe need him.” So far this sea-son, Roark has accounted for11 receptions for 163 yards,four tackles during kick cov-erage on special teams, ablocked kick at Florida and a2-point conversion againstGeorgia.
His ability to block kickshas earned the 6-foot-5 Roarkthe most acclaim. He has sixfor his career, including onein 2008 that helped UK to a14-13 win against MississippiState. But Roark’s favoritejob comes on the coverageteam, when he’s responsiblefor chasing down returners.
“You just go down thereand try and hit somebody,”Roark said. “You don’t haveto worry about assignment ortechnique, you just go down
there and play.”That’s unusual for a wide
receiver, but not for Roark.Even in high school, when heplayed quarterback and safe-ty, Roark was used to takingextra responsibilities. Roark’sold quarterbacks coach atNorth Cobb High School inAcworth, Ga., is his positioncoach now — wide receiverscoach Tee Martin.
Not surprisingly, he also
played basketball in highschool. His jumping abilityshows up the most when hetries to block kicks, whichNord said is one of the hard-est things to do in football.
“ If you’re just a little bitoff, he’ll be there to get it,”he said. “What’s amazing isthat (Roark) has such a greateffort when he does it everytime because he has nine, 10,11 guys taking shots at himand he goes in there everytime and gives it a great ef-fort.”
With senior wide receiverChris Matthews graduating,there might be a need forRoark to take even more re-sponsibility on offense nextyear. Roark said he’d wel-come the opportunity to seemore action as a receiver, buthe’ll still have plenty ofchances to make plays onspecial teams.
“I think the whole modeof the team is that specialteams are going to be impor-tant and our best players aregoing to play,” Nord said.“He’s shown that he can playat a high level on specialteams, so we’ll throw that inwith the rest of his responsi-bilities.”

Franklin is committedtoensuring each cadet learnsthose lessons.
“My goal honestly is toensure that every cadet thatwalks through the door that isserious about becoming an AirForce officer has the trainingand tools to meet that goal.”
Franklin said he can “al-
ready see a shift” in the men-tality of his freshman cadets tobeing more driven. He alsosaid that by the middle of thespring semester he will knowevery cadet by name, andknow about their talents andcapabilities.
“That’s why I’m here,”Franklin said. “It’s my job toassess their leadership abili-ties.”
Air Force ROTC enroll-ment at UK, according toFranklin, is at an all time
high. “To fly planes you don’t
need a technical degree,”Franklin said. “I’m a historymajor.” He said the motiva-tions for his cadets vary, buthe hopes “they are in it to dosomething bigger than them-selves.”
Franklin also said the op-portunity to fly is a large moti-vations source for many of hiscadets. UK ROTC Maj. JesseHedge agreed.
“There is no question that
many of our cadets are drawnto the Air Force with the goalof flying pointy nose jets,”Hedge said. “Lt. Col. Franklincan share that experience first-hand. While some cadetswant nothing more than to flyjets, others want to keep theirfeet firmly planted on theground.”
But for Franklin, a careerin the air offered somethingno vocation other could.
“It’s ultimate freedom,”Franklin said.

Hoyt said Luallen willdiscuss the responsibilities ofleadership other than just fol-lowing rules.
He wants students to, “geta flavor of public policy,” andbelieves Luallen is just theperson to provide it.
“No question that she’srespected. She’s a dynamicspeaker and interesting andsincere. We are aware of herand what she’s doing for Ken-tucky,” Hoyt said.
Luallen has worked asKentucky’s secretary of theGovernor’s Executive Cabi-net, State Budget Director,Secretary of the Finance andAdministration Cabinet,Commissioner of the Ken-tucky Department of the Artsand Special Assistant to theGovernor.
In 2001, she was awardedthe National Excellence inLeadership Award by Womenin Executives in State Gov-ernment.
In Luallen’s work as Ken-tucky Auditor of Public Ac-counts, she has uncoveredgovernment fraud and ques-tionable expenditures, and shehas found ways to make gov-ernment more efficient.
D’Arcy Robb, a studentin the Martin School’s Mas-ters of Public Administra-tion program, said she is nottoo familiar with Kentuckybut has already heard of Lu-allen.
“People’s ears perk upwhen they hear her name,”Robb said. “She is a great,dynamic example of how oneperson can make a positivechange.”
The speech is open to allstudents and will have a ques-tion and answer portion.
Hoyt said he believeseveryone should be aware ofimportant public policies andhopes to open students’ eyesto the possibility of workingin the public or non-profit in-dustries.
In the Martin School’s ef-fort to expand professionaldevelopment, Luallen willprovide the professional ad-vice students might not other-wise hear, Hoyt said.

and that really got me inter-ested [in government],” hesaid.
Crush also said he partic-ipated in Greg Fischer’smayoral campaign inLouisville.
Tyler Fields, a biologymajor with plans to go intopre-medicine, said serving asstudent body president inhigh school made him inter-ested in campus government.He said he wanted to get in-volved at UK, and SGpiqued his interest the most.
Kinesiology major KellyRice also said she had beeninterested in student govern-ment since high school,
where she participated in stu-dent council and KentuckyYouth Assembly.
“I know I would love be-ing a good voice for people,”Rice said. She added that SGcreates opportunities for herto meet a lot of people andget involved on campus.
Emily Willett, a businessmanagement major fromFlorida, said she worked
closely with the administra-tion and community duringher high school experiencesas student body president.
“I knew right when Icame to UK that I wanted torun for student government,”she said. “I think it’s reallyimportant that as a personwith leadership skills, youstep out and try to make adifference.”
“The election processwas a positive experiencethat I would definitely rec-ommend to others in the fu-ture,” Willett said. Sheadded that even comingfrom 12 hours away, it waspossible for her to get elect-ed among many candidatesfrom Kentucky.
Rice said the campaign-ing process was rigorous, as
she and her running matestried to target all areas ofcampus. She said sharing in-formation through friendsand social networking, espe-cially Facebook, were easyways to reach people.
Fields and Rice said theywant to represent the fresh-man class as best they canand accomplish what theclass feels needs to be doneat UK.
Willett said she wouldlike to see an improved rela-tionship between SG and thestudents in general. Shewants to make students com-fortable approaching the peo-ple they elect.
“You only have fouryears at UK,” Willett said. “Iwant to make the most of myexperience here.”

This piece is part of a weekly internation-al series.
The world is changing fast, and not al-ways to our advantage. Asnew centers of power be-come more apparent and be-gin to challenge America’sability to influence theworld, how can we as stu-dents cope?
I mean, the world ispretty big and there’s a lotthat happens in the worldevery day. Awareness is thekey, so let’s look at whichregion of the world is hav-ing more and more influence
in our lives as students.With the start of the second ArtsAsia Fes-
tival on UK’s campus, the expansion of theJapan Studies program into an official major,the Confucius Institute grand opening and theChinese Studies program preparing a full-fledged major, it’s pretty obvious Asia has amore visible presence at UK than ever be-fore.
It’s not just at UK. Japan has long beenthe second-strongest economy in the globalarena, but has been recently usurped.
The usurper? China. That’s right: Asia’slargest country, the one with the world’slargest population, is now the second-largestglobal economy. Even in a global recession,China continues to grow. The Beijing Consen-sus, a term for recommended economic poli-cies for developing countries, is quickly gain-ing favor relative to the Washington Consen-sus.
That’s not all. President Obama visited In-dia during a religious festival to discuss sever-al key policy issues and a reaffirmation of theIndia-U.S. relationship.
Man, it seems like Asia’s taking over thespotlight, doesn’t it? The world is a big place,and Asia is looking like it will be the key re-gion in the not-far-off future.
It started with Japan after World War II.Its economy had meteoric growth that taperedoff into an economic recession. Now Chinahas had three decades of fantastic economicgrowth. India has also benefitted from awe-some economic growth. Eventually, the small-er countries in Asia will begin to emerge as
major players.This isn’t to say Asia has no problems.
The Taiwan-China relationship is especiallytricky concerning the U.S.
Myanmar (a.k.a. Burma) is rife with polit-ical corruption, conflict and human rights vio-lations. The India-Pakistan relationship is coolat best, but prone to heated disputes. Far-rang-ing social problems with Japan and the rest ofAsia still exist over wartime activities, and thePacific islands are often beset by natural dis-asters well beyond their ability to cope.
Awareness of Asia and the events goingon is crucial to Kentucky interests. Not only isUK becoming a more involved institution inglobal education, but Kentucky itself hasstrong ties to Japanese businesses, namelyToyota. What happens in Pakistan can have adirect effect on our troops in Afghanistan.
The main point is this: Because the worldis shifting towards a more integrated place,one cannot afford to stay focused on what’sjust around one’s self. You have to pay atten-tion so you know where the opportunities are.If you do pay attention, you can find yourselfin a whole new world, both fantastic andmundane.
Have you ever been on a public trans-portation system where the attendants literallypush patrons onto trains, effectively makingthem sardines?
Or what about discovering that you canfind one of the most recognizable Americanbrands, Coca-Cola, in the most remote areayou’ve ever been too? I’ve experienced both,and let me tell you, it’s pretty wild.
Do you want to experience somethingawesome?
You should go abroad. Not only will youexperience something fantastic and life-chang-ing, you’ll also learn more about yourself. UKhelps provide you with that opportunity.
Can’t go abroad just yet? Well, keep in-formed. You never know if there’s a job op-portunity that perfectly matches your skillsetor an internship begging for someone likeyourself. And even if you can’t get out andexperience the wide world, you’ll knowwhat’s going on. After all, isn’t knowing halfthe battle?

New mayor bringsLexington forward
Kentucky typically isn't a placewhere you find liberal politics, politi-cians or radical social change. Sure, thestate traditionally comes out with abluish tint depending on the level of theelection — but will anyone confuse uswith, say, California?
Definitely not, which is why JimGray winning the Lexington mayoralrace is such a shock and a relief at thesame time.
For Lexington to elect an openly gaymayor at a time when some politiciansgo out of their way avoid rumors of ho-mosexuality goes against the norm forsure, but it says quite a bit about whatreally matters to Lexington's voters.
Gray ran on a campaign that includ-
ed promoting governmental transparen-cy, building up local small businesses,actively engaging diversity and severalother platforms, to which voters posi-tively responded. His sexual orientationremained out of the fray, allowing thepublic to decide on the best candidate,without any commercial bashings oreven covert rhetoric to incite bigotryand hatred.
This election's mayoral campaigncan serve as an example to us all as tohow politics should be conducted andwhat should be more important. It canalso show the rest of the state and thenation that being inclusive isn't a prob-lem. If you look at people for who theytruly are, you find out what is impor-tant.

The UK men’s soccerteam’s roller coaster ride of aseason hasn’t ended yet.
UK (7-7-4, 4-2-2 C-USA) continues to stay ontrack heading into the Con-ference USA soccer tourna-ment in Memphis, Tenn.
Out of the nine teams inthe conference, only the topsix advanced to the tourna-ment. The top two seeds,Southern Methodist Univer-sity and the University ofCentral Florida, will receivea bye into the semi-finals.
Thanks to a last-minutewin against South Carolinaon senior day, UK finishedthird in the conference andgarnered a No. 3 seed. Thisallows the team to play thelast-seeded team in the open-ing round of the tournament.
UK will play Tulsa, ateam that was ranked No. 2in the country earlier thisseason, Wednesday. The Catsfell by two goals in thatgame.
But with the number ofinjuries and ineligible playersUK has dealt with this sea-son, finishing third in theconference is an accomplish-ment according to UK headcoach Ian Collins.
“To finish third in thisleague that has five legiti-mate top-25 teams and finishin front of Tulsa who at onetime was No. 2 in the coun-try, it says a lot about our re-solve,” Collins said.
And heading into theconference tournament, UKbelieves it may be one of the
hottest teams in the field.“We’re not going to get
too excited but it was a goodway to finish the season. Wefinished unbelievablystrong,” Collins said.
UK has shown it canplay tough against mostteams in the conference. Inits last seven matches UKhas only been defeated once.
Weeks ago, UK washeading into the most diffi-cult part of its schedule andmaking the conference tour-nament was considered astretch by many of its fol-lowers. But now the teamhas more than that on itsmind.
Some presumed a weekago UK’s only shot of re-ceiving a bid to the NCAAtournament would be bywinning the conference tour-nament. While that might bethe surest way for the Cats toprolong its season, it mightnot be the only way.
48 teams make theNCAA men’s soccer tourna-ment and all six teams in theC-USA tournament findthemselves ranked in the top46 in the RPI (UK is No.42).
Being No. 42 in the RPIlikely isn’t enough to get theCats in the tournament but ithas a chance to improve itsRPI, by beating teams in theRPI top 30. (Tulsa, and ifthey advance past Tulsa, theUniversity of Central Flori-da).
However, Collins saidthey aren’t looking that farahead. The Cats believe tokeep their season from com-ing to a halt, they’ll need tokeep working.
“We just need to build,we have Tulsa Wednesdayand that’s a difficult, diffi-cult, game,” Collins said.“We just need to get our feeton the ground and movefrom there.”

On one of the youngestteams in the SoutheasternConference, seniors BlaireHiler and Lauren Rapp haveled the UK volleyball teamboth on and off the court allseason long. This Sunday, theteam will honor Hiler andRapp as UK takes onLouisiana State on its seniorday.
“It’s sad to know that weare coming up on our last fewhome games,” Hiler said.“But I think Sunday the teamis really going to want to pullfor us even more, especiallybecause it is our senior night.It’s going to be a fun matchagainst LSU for sure.”
Together Rapp and Hilerhave had one of the most suc-cessful tenures of any seniorclass in the program’s recenthistory. The two seniors havecompiled 91 wins in theirfour seasons at UK, and willlook to improve on that num-ber even further at the end ofthis season. They have ap-peared in three NCAA tour-naments, including last year’sSweet 16 run, and were a partof UK’s first and only South-eastern Conference EasternDivision championship teamlast season.
This season, Rapp andHiler have had to deal withplaying around a youngsquad, but they have enjoyedthe journey from start to fin-ish.
“This season has gonedifferently than I expected,”Rapp said. “But this team hasbeen one of my favorites toplay with, we are more of a
family than any team that Ihave ever played with. I lovethis team and I wouldn’tchange it for anything.”
UK head coach CraigSkinner has coached Rappand Hiler for four years, andhas had the opportunity towatch them grow as studentathletes.
“They have both come along way from their freshmanyear,” Skinner said. “Theyare just quality people withgreat character, great commit-ment to the program andgreat commitment to theirteammates. They are just areal pleasure to coach.”
After the ceremony onSunday, the Cats (14-12, 8-8SEC) will take the courtacross from the defendingconference champions inLSU. As a team on the bub-ble for the NCAA tourna-ment, both seniors know howimportant every game at theend of their season is to earn-ing a spot in the postseason.
“The urgency is definitelyup there, we need to be ableto win every game,” Hilersaid. “We need to play howwe know we are able to play,and go all out and not worryabout mistakes and not worryabout anything.”
The two seniors havebeen anticipating the bitter-sweet celebration this Sundayon the court at Memorial Col-iseum.
“I am definitely not look-ing forward to the slideshow.I am going to be balling,”Hiler said. “I am not reallylooking forward to anythingbecause I don’t want it to beover, but I am looking for-ward to a good match onSunday.”
But Rapp views the situa-tion lightly.
“I guess I am looking for-ward to us moving on to thenext stage in our lives,” Rappadded. “I’m looking forwardto us moving on to the realworld.”
