UK football head coachMark Stoops announced Sat-urday the hiring of the finaltwo members to his complet-ed coaching staff.
Derrick Ansley was ap-pointed cornerbacks coachand Tommy Mainord be-comes the Cats’ wide re-ceivers coach.
Ansley becomes the finalpiece of Stoops’ defensivecoaching puzzle. Since beingintroduced as head coach onDec. 2, Stoops has appointedD.J. Eliot as defensive coor-dinator/linebackers coach,Jimmy Brumbaugh as defen-sive line coach, and BradleyDale Peveto as specialteams/safeties coach.
“I’m excited to have Der-rick join ourstaff,” Stoopssaid. “He isan outstand-ing youngcoach and Iam extreme-ly impressedwith his foot-ball knowl-edge.”
Ansley spent last seasonas cornerbacks coach at Ten-nessee. Prior to that he hadspells with Central Florida,Alabama and HuntingdonCollege (Ala.).
“I wanted another coachon the defensive staff whowould bring a diversity ofknowledge and experience inaddition to the system weused at Florida State,” Stoopssaid. “Although Derrick is ayoung coach, he fits that withthree years’ experience in the
SEC at Ala-bama and atTennessee.”
D u r i n gA n s l e y ’ stime at Ala-bama, wherehe was a de-f e n s i v egraduate as-s i s t a n t
coach, he helped the CrimsonTide to the 2011 NCAA na-tional title.
“Coming to Kentucky isa great opportunity to learnfrom Coach Stoops andCoach Eliot, who obviouslyhave had tremendous successand have great defensiveminds,” Ansley said. “Ourgoal is to build a champi-onship defense. I’m also ex-cited about continuing tocoach and compete in theSEC.”

Junior center DeNeshaStallworth scored a team-high 17 points as No. 6 UKHoops (16-1, 4-0 SEC)rolled past Missouri, 69-43,Sunday for its 15th consec-utive victory.
It is the first time theTigers have lost at home thisseason after opening the 2012-
13 campaign with 12 straightwins on their home floor.
The Cats showed nosign of having bus legs in agame it led from the firstbucket to the last. UK start-ed the game with a 23-4 runthat spanned the first 10minutes of play.
Mizzou (12-6, 1-3 SEC)
struggled to even things onthe scoreboard after UK’searly damage-inducing run.
The Tigers had bursts oftheir own toward the firsthalf, including a 9-0 run, butfound themselves trailing by14 points at halftime.
UK continued to hold andextend its lead in the second
half, helped by the fact it out-rebounded Missouri, 40-37,and was a perfect 12-of-12from the free throw line — astark contrast with Thurs-day’s win over Texas A&Mwhen the Cats were 8-of-19from the charity strike.
Missouri, which led thenation averaging 9.9 3-pointers per game, was heldto a season-low 2-of-20from behind the arc as itfailed to find a way backand took its first home lossof the season.
Stallworth added threesteals, three blocks andthree assists to her 17 pointsin 29 minutes of action.Senior guard A’dia Mathiestabbed 14 points and fiverebounds, with sophomoreguard Jennifer O’Neill scor-ing 11 points and a team-high four assists.
Junior forward SamarieWalker was held to twopoints, but did lead the Catsin rebounds by grabbingseven boards — all on thedefensive end.
Missouri’s senior guardSydney Crafton was thehighest scoring Tiger, shoot-ing 4-of-7 from the field onher way to a stat-line thatfeatured 11 points, nine re-bounds and three steals.
UK is next in action onThursday when it takes onMississippi State at Memo-rial Coliseum, with the ac-tion due to get under way at7 p.m.

As “Zero Dark Thirty” sparks debate overwaterboarding, we’re left to wonder if theremight be some other way to obtain informa-tion from enemy non-combatants.
I’d suggest forcing them to watch “AHaunted House,” the new Marlon Wayansmovie and alleged comedy, a parody of the“Paranormal Activity” franchise. A parody thatis, in its own way, more horrifying than thereal thing.
“House” stars Wayans as Malcolm, a sin-gle man about to invite his girlfriend (EssenceAtkins) to move in with him. For about twominutes, it looks like Wayans might be on tosomething — looking for humor in the idea ofa significant other invading your house andupending your life like some kind of polter-geist.
Wayans ditches all that for routine “ScaryMovie” lowjinks, and in the process sets a
modern non-Sandler record for flatulencejokes. Also offered — a racist home securitysalesman (David Koechner), neighbors (AlanaUbach, Andrew Daly) who want to swing, adisgruntled Latina maid and an invisible ghostwhose tactics include sexual assault. NickSwardson plays a gay man with an intense in-terest in Malcolm.
It is all nearly laugh-free, although Cedricthe Entertainer has 30 or 40 funny seconds asa cut-rate exorcist.
Not enough, though, to save “A HauntedHouse” from being an early contender for nextyear’s Golden Raspberry.
Could it have a second life as an alterna-tive to water-boarding?
I doubt the Geneva Convention would al-low it.

LOS ANGELES — IfSeth MacFarlane was usingThursday’s AcademyAwards nominations an-nouncement as a test-runfor his Oscar show hostingpatter, he might considerchanging directions. Fast.
Early reviews of Mac-Farlane’s jokes werestrongly negative, withmany critics saying the“Ted” and “Family Guy”maker favored insults overinsights and belittled entireswaths of the creative com-munity.
Rather than MacFar-lane’s coming across asamiable, the naysayersfound him arrogant andnasty. Twitter reaction wasequally harsh. (MacFarlaneis the only Oscar host toread the nominations sinceCharlton Heston in 1972.)
“Wow, after seeing SethMacFarlane’s smug, conde-scending presentation ofthe Oscar nominations thismorning with Emma Stone,I can’t wait for him to himto host the show itself — itmay be one for the ages,”wrote Ken Tucker on theEntertainment Weekly web-site. “David Letterman, youcan probably stop makingjokes about how much themovie industry dislikedyour host gig; a new win-ner in that category may re-veal itself on Oscar night.”
On The Atlantic Wire,Esther Zuckerman saidmany of MacFarlane’sjokes landed with a thud,including remarks he madeabout the women nominat-ed for supporting actressand a joke about Hitler: “I
read ‘Amour’ was co-pro-duced in Austria and Ger-many, right? The last timeAustria got together andco-produced something itwas Hitler, but this is muchbetter,” was MacFarlane’squip.
Said Zuckerman ofMacFarlane’s tactics: “Itmay (anger) a ton of peo-ple. Which could make forgood entertainment, a laRicky Gervais at the Gold-en Globes.”
On New York maga-zine’s Vulture blog, JesseDavid Fox wrote, “Youcould see MacFarlanestruggling to figure outhow to seemlike the guyw h o s eshow had ababy put-ting horsesemen onhis cereal,but not ac-tually of-fend themore con-s e r v a t i v eOscar audi-ence.” Foxtook speciale x c e p t i o nto MacFar-lane’s at-tacks onscreenwriters and directorsas lazy.
“Diminishing an entireHollywood professiondoesn’t work with theaward show’s earnestness,and it’s also a pretty bigboulder to throw at anevent that exists to extolthe genius of these veryprofessions,” Fox said. “It’sone thing for Steve Martinto make digs at Hollywoodegos (Ha, ha, the crowdlaughs, So true, even if not
in my case). It’s another tobasically say, ‘You peopleare being rewarded forsomething that is not tech-nically a skill.’”
Forrest Wickman onSlate echoed much of thecriticism. “MacFarlane didnot make a good first im-pression,” Wickman wrote.“In the less than 10 minutesit took to announce thenominees, MacFarlanemanaged to insult his co-presenter, belittle theachievements of severalnominees, and make aHitler joke. ...
“MacFarlane seemedincapable of making quips
that weren’t atthe expenseof the hon-orees orothers inthe room.After read-ing the bestd i r e c t o rcandidates,he cracked,‘These arefive peoplewho are thevery best atsitting in achair andw a t c h i n gother peo-
ple make amovie.’ After the nomineesfor best adapted screen-play: ‘These are adaptedscreenplays, so that meansthat the writers basicallycopied stuff from MicrosoftWord and pasted it into Fi-nal Draft.’ ... Edgy and bit-ing can work at an awardsshow, but these one-linerswere neither.”

This UK basketball sea-son is so delicate and fragilethat one 40-point perform-ance by an individual oppo-nent and one four-minute
period ofpoor execu-tion couldderail theCats’NCAAseeding —and evenhave somequestioningif they willmake theBig Dance.
JerryPalm, a
CBSSports.com bracketol-ogy expert, has the Cats as a12-seed playing in the open-ing-round game in Dayton— which many call a “play-in” game. This projection,mind you, was before thehome loss Saturday to TexasA&M.
When he updates hisfield, don’t be surprised tosee the Cats excluded fromthe festivities.
“I think we’ll be fine,”UK head coach John Cali-pari said when asked abouthis team’s tournament out-look. “You’ve got to wingames. We don’t need toworry about anybody else.Just be the best team in thegym and do what we aresupposed to be doing.”
That is what Calipari fo-cuses on — he doesn’t gettoo high over the wins anddoesn’t get too negativewith the losses. He is fo-cused on having the bestteam possible by March.
“It’s still early January.It’s going to be anothermonth before this teamcomes together,” Caliparisaid. “I just hope we arewinning enough games as
we learn to do this.”UK sophomore guard
Ryan Harrow thinks theCats will be fine and willhave no problem making thefield of 68.
“I don’t think that’s go-ing to be a problem,” Har-row said. “We still have alot of time and we still havea lot of games. We’re al-ways supposed to make theNCAA Tournament, so wehave to keep that attitude.Coach (Calipari) is going tofigure this out, and we justhave to buy into it.”
Confidence aside, thiswas a game the Catscouldn’t afford to lose. TheSEC has just two teamsranked in the AP Top 25,and many lower-tier teamswith dreadful non-confer-ence losses.
ESPN’s Jay Williamssaid during the CollegeGameDay show Saturdaythat the SEC is the eighthbest conference in the coun-try, ranking leagues such asthe Atlantic 10 and Moun-tain West higher.
Going into the confer-ence schedule, it was rea-sonable to expect the Catscould only afford to lose toMissouri, Florida and maybeOle Miss when they face theRebels in Oxford, Miss.
Less than three weeksago, this same Texas A&Mteam dropped a 53-51 homecontest to Southern Univer-sity of the SouthwesternAthletic Conference.
So how did the Catsdrop the conference homeopener, the first home con-ference loss in the CalipariEra, to a 16-point under-dog?
Texas A&M guard El-ston Turner’s 40 points hada lot to do with it, as themost points an opponent has
scored against the Cats inRupp Arena since LSU’sChris Jackson hit 41 in1990.
“That performance —that’s as good as it gets, theway he shot the ball,” Cali-pari said.
Turner scored 25 on 10-of-13 shooting in the firsthalf to lead the Aggies to afive-point lead at the break.
UK freshman guardArchie Goodwin began thesecond half defending Turn-er, face-guarding around andover picks and set plays try-ing to free him.
For 10 minutes, the de-fensive strategy worked, andthe Cats had pulled even infront of a rollicking RuppArena partisan crowd.
“I just stayed close tohim, chased him off screensand made sure that whereverhe was, I was right there,”Goodwin said. “I chasedhim behind on screen and hehit a jumper, then I got
subbed out and he hit anoth-er three. His confidence re-turned back to where it wasin the first half.”
Turner, netting 15 pointsin the final 10 minutes ofthe game, finishing with 40points on 14-of-19 shooting.He was a perfect 6-of-6from the free-throw line,grabbed six rebounds anddished four assists.
The other factor leadingto the loss was giving up ahuge run. Thursday night inNashville, the Cats allowedan 18-0 Vandy run but wereable to squeak out a victo-ry.
Saturday against the Ag-gies, it was a 16-1 run thatdid them in. Leading 62-58with six minutes remainingand with the crowd provid-ing the best home environ-ment of the season, the Catsfell apart.
“It was a situation Italked to the team aboutyesterday. Gut time, stop the
runs, stop the bleeding,”Calipari said. “This teamwent on a 16-1 run, andyou’re not winning that way,and it’s both on offense anddefense.”
Harrow said the teammade several bad decisions,especially on defense, dur-ing that stretch.
“We were up by fourwith only three minutes togo. That’s when we have tobe disciplined and make theright decisions,” Harrowsaid. “We were a little excit-ed that we were up, and wejust wanted to make that bigplay.
“It’s basketball. Youhave to have that determina-tion to get a stop. None ofus did that today.”
This loss makes theroad ahead much tougherfor the Cats, a team thatstill hasn’t found its identi-ty 15 games into the sea-son. Calipari said he be-lieves the team will fully
resemble a finished productin February. Many morelosses in January — amonth where the Catsshould have gone without aloss — and the Cats willfind themselves in a spotwhere they will have to winthe SEC Tournament toearn an NCAA bid.
“I hope it doesn’t messwith anybody’s confidence,because we have been work-ing so hard,” Harrow said.“We have to keep guys’morale up in the next prac-tice and get focused for thenext game.”
So despite freshman for-ward Nerlens Noel havingthe best game of his shortUK career (15 points, 11 re-bounds, seven blocks andsix assists), the Cats suffertheir most damaging loss ofthe season.
A four-minute run and acareer performance seems tohave shifted the entire post-season discussion.

Nearly two decades ago,Maya was recruited straight
out of highschool byour nation’sCentral In-telligenceAgency fora single pur-pose: Tohunt downand killOsama binLaden.
Topdogs in theagency
hoped to createa single-task agent with asponge-like brain for catch-ing the most dangerous manin history.
For Maya, this goalquickly turns to an obsession,as hours become days, daysbecome months and monthsbecome years.
In 2005, she accompaniesDan, a seasoned interrogator,to a CIA black site in Pak-istan with plans to witnessthe torture of a captured al-Qaida terrorist.
Knowing that locatingthe most wanted man onearth directly is nearly im-
possible, Maya hopes totrack the whereabouts of binLaden’s personal liaison tothe al-Qaida chain of com-mand.
After enduring months ofbrutal interrogation tech-niques, the terrorist’s spiritbreaks and he gives up aname that will, in theory,change what has been a wildgoose chase into a calculatedmanhunt.
After years of chasingleads, desensitization andpersonal loss, Maya is now ahardened cog in the CIA ma-chine, and she is poised tomake a recommendation tothe president about binLaden’s precise location.
The clock reads ZeroDark Thirty (12:30 a.m.) andbin Laden’s time has come.
Director KathrynBigelow’s follow up to theuniversally acclaimed “HurtLocker” is very similar intone and visceral involve-ment.
Her direction in “ZeroDark Thirty” will whip audi-ences through a laundry listof emotions and its two-and-a-half hour run time willleave them in a state of com-
plete exhaustion. While that may sound
like a bad thing, its lengthand pace actually create avery intimate connection withMaya’s grueling, yet reward-ing, hunt for Osama binLaden.
Jessica Chastain’s trans-formation from a cautiousCIA freshman into a cal-loused, obsessive veteranwill undoubtedly earn herBest Actress come Febru-ary.
While “Zero Dark Thir-ty” exposes some gut-wrenching details about tor-ture and interrogation, it isnot bogged down by divisivepolitical undertones.
Fortunately for thosewho may not have bought aticket just to connect withMaya emotionally, the last30 minutes is nothing butpulse-pounding Navy SEALaction.
“Zero Dark Thirty” willunite viewers with adrena-line-triggered goose bumpsand a complex emotionaljourney that should make forrich reflection on what ournation should do versus whatit has to do.

BOSTON — Massachu-setts Institute of Technologystudents will return from theirholiday break to experiencesomething different from theirusual studies — but almost asimportant. It’s the university’sannual “Charm School,” of-fering instruction in every-thing from how to make afirst impression to how todress for work to which breadplate to use.
Other colleges have start-ed teaching students how tomake small talk, deal withconflict, show up on time, fol-low business etiquette andcommunicate with co-work-ers.
These programs may befun, or even funny, but there’sa serious purpose to them: togive students the kinds of so-cial skills they need to get andkeep jobs.
“Everybody here issmart,” said Alana Hamlett,who co-directs MIT’s CharmSchool in Cambridge, Mass.,which began about 20 yearsago and is optional for stu-dents. But in a tough job mar-ket, she said, “this is one ad-ditional tool that will give youan edge. The key to being astep ahead is having those in-terpersonal skills and beingable to work a room.”
These are skills that em-ployers complain graduatesincreasingly are arriving with-out, skills that many don’tlearn at home anymore andthat take a back seat in an eraof omnipresent electroniccommunications.
“This is a generation withan average of 241 social me-dia ‘friends,’ but they havetrouble communicating inperson,” said Arthur Levine,the president of the WoodrowWilson National FellowshipFoundation in Princeton, N.J.,who’s studied the current cropof students.
Employers increasinglythink so, too. More than athird of managers think theiryoungest hires act less profes-sionally than their predeces-sors, according to a nationalsurvey by the Center for Pro-fessional Excellence at YorkCollege in Pennsylvania.
“A good resume and adegree only gets you to thetable,” said Matthew Ran-dall, the center’s executivedirector. “Professional be-haviors are what get you ajob. And what colleges are
trying to do is help thesestudents develop the behav-iors that employers want.”
York teaches a work-shop for sophomores called“Mastering the Art of SmallTalk”; two majors — educa-tion and sports management— require their students totake it. It also offers a semi-nar in taking criticism.
“This generation talksbetter with their thumbsthan face to face,” Randallsaid.
It’s not just communi-cating that appears to chal-lenge this latest group ofcollege students. It’s min-gling, networking, handlingconflict, eating — evendressing.
“Students don’t reallyknow what’s meant by pro-fessional dress, whether it’sa young lady wearing a skirtthat’s way too short or ayoung man whose pantsaren’t really tailored,”MIT’s Hamlett said. “Moststudents just roll out of bedin whatev-er it isthey wantto wear.T h e r e ’ sthis ‘comeas youare’ aboutbeing ac o l l e g estudent.”
F e -male stu-dents inparticular,she said,also fol-low fash-ion blogs:“So that lends itself to anidea of what they should bewearing, not understandingthat what you see on a fash-ion blog may not exactly bethe most appropriate thingto wear to an interview.”
At Wake Forest Univer-sity’s business school, mas-ter’s candidates are requiredto wear business attire toclass and to be in the build-ing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ifthey don’t know what “busi-ness attire” means, that willbe covered soon, too, by aprogram in leadership thatstarts next year at the Win-ston-Salem, N.C., school. Itwill, among other things,teach them how to dress.
Technology also takes atoll on social skills, educa-tors said.
“We’re finding that ourstudents just aren’t used to
face-to-face interaction,”Hamlett said. “We’re a soci-ety that’s moving awayfrom face-to-face contact.”
That affects students’knowledge of professionaletiquette, experts said.
MBA and law studentsat the University of Iowalearn table manners at anannual “etiquette dinner,”where they’re told where torest their silverware be-tween courses and on whichside of their place settingsto return their water glasses.Other schools are addingsimilar programs.
Many students don’tlearn this at home because“a lot of them today don’thave parents who know howto navigate these things,”said Aaron McDaniel, him-self a young professionaland the author of “TheYoung Professional’s Guideto the Working World:Savvy Strategies to Get In,Get Ahead, and Rise to theTop,” which was published
in October.S m o t h e r -
ing babyboomer par-ents have pro-tected theirchildren fromthe demandsof the realworld, as op-posed to show-ing them howto survive it,M c D a n i e lsaid.
“We feelso entitled toeverything, be-cause every-
one has changed their livesfor us,” said McDaniel, aUniversity of California,Berkeley, graduate who wasone of the youngest regionalvice presidents at AT&T.“Our parents had our livesat the center of theirs, as op-posed to teaching us howthings really are. It was allabout us, and we expect thatto continue.”
He said some universi-ties got a share of the blamefor letting their studentsthink they didn’t have towork hard, take responsibil-ity or know how to work inteams.
As a result of this, Mc-Daniel said, in the work-place many graduates “ex-pect that, just for showingup, they’ll get credit, justlike they used to get atschool.”
College ‘charm schools’offer lessons in first

Charm School
“
DAYTON, Ohio — WhenKevin Sims pitches hisschool’s new liberal arts majorto prospective students, par-ents typically ask him, “Whatis my son or daughter going todo for a career?”
The fear — that their grad-uates will end up as nothingmore than highly credentialedbaristas — is a common oneamong parents who, alongwith lawmakers, are demand-ing that colleges and universi-ties prepare graduates for spe-cific careers.
But Sims, a professor atCedarville University inCedarville, Ohio, says expos-ing students to an educationalmenu that includes languages,literature, humanities, history,government, math, scienceand the arts helps preparegraduates for the world theyare about to enter.
“This is a great major forthe 21st century college stu-dent,” he said. “We are prepar-ing people who want to learnhow to critically think. Some-one who knows how to think
critically and write well andspeak well, and knows how torelate to people, I believestrongly they will have an eas-ier time adjusting to thechanging careers in theirworking lives.”
The merits of a liberal artsdegree have come underscrutiny as college costs con-tinue to skyrocket and eco-nomic experts stress the needfor continuing education toprepare for jobs of the future.
Recent liberal arts majorshave a higher unemploymentrate (9.2 percent) than gradu-ates from technical fields, suchas health care and education(5.4 percent), though aGeorgetown University studysays that is partly because thegraduates are spread acrossoccupations and industries.
Companies today arelooking for graduates who canstep into jobs with a minimumof on-the-job training. Asmore students pursue technicaldegrees, some liberal arts col-leges struggle to stay afloat.
But there are risks for stu-dents who adhere to one spe-cific occupation, the George-town study found. A downturnin the construction business,
for example, left 13.9 percentof recent architecture majorsunemployed.
“Having technical skills orprofessional skills to do some-thing right now is a good firststep, but it’s not for the longrun going to be sufficient,”said David Hodge, presidentof Miami University, whereevery student must completecore liberal arts courses.
“Remember that mostpeople are not only going tohave multiple jobs, they’re go-ing to have multiple careers,”Hodge said.Liberal arts col-leges have to fight the fearamong students and parentsthat a degree from the schoolswill lead to big debts andsmall career prospects.
“Liberal arts is critical tothe educational experience, but
the perception of liberal artsschools, it’s suffering and en-rollment has been a challengefor those institutions not onlyhere but across the nation,”said Sean Creighton, executivedirector of the SouthwesternOhio Council for Higher Edu-cation.
As much as anything else,the schools market their versa-tility. “If you think about whatthe liberal arts education ismeant to do, it’s meant to pre-pare the student for their life,as opposed to just preparingthem for a particular job or ca-reer,” said Wittenberg Univer-sity Provost Chris Duncan.“You learn how to learn. Youare capable of adapting andchanging as the economychanges.”
Liberal arts schools such
as Wittenberg are facing finan-cial challenges. Wittenberg isworking to address a $7 mil-lion deficit and is adding ma-jors to attract new students.The university also is freezingtuition, room and board costs.
The university hopes toadd to its pool of nontradition-al students with a nursingcompletion program and isconsidering adding a criminaljustice completion program,Duncan said. Wittenberg alsoadded majors in environmen-tal science and accounting,and is considering a newsports management major.
Liberal arts graduates typi-cally do not amass $100,000in debt, the study found, butborrow on average $22,390,compared with $17,700 forpublic university graduates.
One point of pride: Theschools boast a disproportion-ate number of national leaders.Though they enroll about 2percent of college students,they account for 12 U.S. presi-dents, according to the book,“Liberal Arts at the Brink.”
Jen Waller, a librarian atMiami University who earneda bachelor’s degree in Englishfrom Tufts University in 1984,said her liberal arts educationhelped her navigate countlesscareer changes — from a prepcook to eventually earning hermaster of library and informa-tion science degree.
“I’m really glad that Iwent to a liberal arts schooljust because I think that theytend to help you think morebroadly and more creatively,”she said.

This is the first in a two-part series aboutthe issues facing undergraduate education.
A number of columnistsbrought up some very criti-cal issues worthy of elabora-tion when considering therole of college in larger soci-ety, and the role of collegestudents in the world after
they graduate.Joshua Hoke (Sept. 19)
expressed disappointmentin the propensity of his fel-low students, particularlythose from middle- and up-per-class families, to drinkand make other poor
choices, sometimes related to drinking. He also, in short, wishes many of his
peers were less selfish and more curious, am-bitious and appreciative.
This reminded me of when I first attendedcollege as a freshman, expecting my class-mates to be as serious about being there, andas appreciative of the opportunity to betterthemselves as I was.
College is an opportunity to become moreaware about the world beyond one’s home-town, home state, or home country.
I myself am guilty of not taking advan-tage of that opportunity, as almost everyone Italked to at the University of Cincinnati werefellow Cincinnatians, and many times evenformer high-school classmates. I regret notstudying abroad or talking to more foreignstudents when I was an undergrad.
College is an opportunity to go from be-ing a child to an adult, unlike any that youcan get in any other setting. Unfortunately,many students use it as an opportunity to pro-long childhood.
The challenge I pose to universities, not
just UK, is to find a way to identify beforeadmission which prospective students are se-rious about the opportunity college provides,and which ones are just looking for a four-year party.
Continuing on the theme of identifyingstudents who are serious about being in col-lege, Amelia Orwick (Oct. 1) wrote an entirecolumn on that issue.
She noticed the same things I noticedwhen I first started college: A great numberof students arrive unprepared for what awaitsthem.
While reading her column, I rememberedhow our newly re-elected president has a goalthat all adult Americans get college degrees.However, Amelia correctly points out that“some are better suited for a different type ofpost-secondary education.” Additionally, theproblem she writes about in her columnwould be exacerbated if President Obama’s
goal were reached. Another problem she did not discuss is
what appears to be pressure on teachers andprofessors to make the courses easy enoughfor people who are not really capable of mas-tering the material to pass the course with atleast a B or C This leavs those who are capa-ble of learning more just as bored as theywere in high school.
In graduate school, the admissions com-mittee made sure those of us they admittedbelong here, and my classmates are seriousabout mastering the material, not just “gettingby.”
The challenge is to make college avail-able to anyone regardless of ability to pay,while making sure to screen for ability andmotivation to learn and achieve.

Hockey falls
to Toledo in
both games
UK hockey (9-15)slumped to a pair of defeatsto No. 6 Toledo on Fridayand Saturday, going down 8-4 Friday and 8-1 Saturday.
Exiting the first periodFriday night, the Cats wereahead, 1-0, courtesy of sen-ior defenseman SeanMcLaughlin who sniped thepuck top shelf behind Tole-do’s senior goaltender CraigTrego.
Seven minutes into thesecond, it seemed as if UKwould pull off the upset vic-tory when junior forwardMatt McLaughlin managedto jam a rebound off ofTrego into the back of thenet, putting the Cats ahead 2-0 with just under half thegame played.
The Rockets were quickto respond to the goal, how-ever, and cut the Cats’ leadto one. Within five minutes,Toledo had scored two moregoals, creating a 3-2 lead.
“We had them beat in the
first, but you can’t wingames in 20 minutes,” saidjunior goaltender Aaron Ten-felde.
After a hooking call onsenior defenseman BrandonTigrett, the Rockets capital-ized on the ensuing powerplay and extended their leadto 4-2.
However, with five min-utes left in the second, cap-tain Sean McLaughlin scoredhis second of the night, cut-ting the Toledo lead down toone.
With 10 minutes to play,freshman defenseman DylanHiggins was beaten to thepuck by a Toledo skater whowas quick to put in the cagepast Tenfelde. Less than aminute later, the visitorswould make it 6-3.
With 7:41 to play in thegame, the Rockets made it 7-3 and UK head coach RobDocherty took a timeout inan attempt to regroup.
Sean McLaughlin earneda hat-trick soon after, creat-ing a score of 7-4.
“We need to learn to play
60 minutes,” he said.With one minute left, the
Rockets scored once more,to make the final score 8-4.
Saturday night, the Catsappeared closer to playingthat full 60 minutes, despitea losing score of 8-1.
Sean McLaughlin postedthe only tally for the Cats.
“The bounces justweren’t going our way,”Docherty said.
UK hockey is back in ac-tion next weekend againstNo. 2 Penn State. Bothgames will be played at theLexington Ice Center.
