The Presidential Search Committee select-ed a search firm to help find the next presidentof the University of Kentucky.

The committee voted during its secondmeeting Friday to hire Greenwood/Asher &Associates, Inc., a Florida executive searchfirm, to conduct the search for UK’s 12th pres-ident. President Lee T. Todd Jr. is retiring atthe end of the academic year.

Greenwood/Asher is the same firm used toassist in the search for Todd. Todd has servedas UK president since 2001.

The cost of hiring the firm has not been de-cided, as a contract has not yet been written.

Also at the meeting, the committee dis-cussed a position announcement that will beused to attract candidates via job postings andwill outline qualifications an ideal candidatewould possess. The committee planned to re-vise and discuss the announcement again Nov.14.

The committee cited issues such as schol-arly experience, awareness of athletics andstrong leadership skills as being potential qual-ifications to be included in the announcement.

Also discussed at the meeting was the needto get statewide input into the selectionprocess, but the details for obtaining that goalwill be decided at a later date.

In an effort to help students complete theirdegrees quicker, the new Summer 2010 onlinecourses earned more than $1.5 million in tu-ition.

According to numbers supplied by the Col-lege of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office, 29 newcourses were added during the Summer 2010session, including general education and upperdivision courses. On course census day, about1,640 students were enrolled in these courses.Courses taught included Sociology 101, Philoso-phy 120, Biology 102, Political Science 391 andAnthropology 431.

Arts and Sciences Dean Mark Kornbluh,who led the effort for these added online class-es, brought the idea from a similar one he wasinvolved with while at Michigan State Univer-sity. Kornbluh said the goal was to help stu-dents complete their degrees quicker, while stillallowing out-of-state students or students want-ing to return home for the summer to completerequired hours or to retake a course. He said al-most 5,000 credit hours were completed.

According to the data provided, 24 percentof the students enrolled in these online courseswere undergraduate nonresidents.

“So this way they can go home, take a joband take a course or two to make progress to-wards a degree,” Kornbluh said.

According to the numbers provided, the to-tal UK tuition income from the courses was$1,566,493, and the College of Arts and Sci-ences’ revenue sharing-cut of this was $939,896.

“The real goal is to increase student suc-cess and graduation rate and move graduationto four or five years rather than six years andbeyond,” Kornbluh said.

He said the project involved hiring twofull-time people to help with the online as-pects, and numerous undergraduate and gradu-ate students were hired to help with additionalduties like putting materials online.

In an e-mail to the Kernel, UK spokesmanJay Blanton said the university does not havethe final figures on expenses and revenues as-sociated with starting up the new courses. Hesaid, however, that student success, not rev-

It was junior who carried UKto victory on Senior Day.

Randall Cobb rushed for acareer-high 170 yards and twotouchdowns on just 10 attemptsas UK overcome a first-halfdeficit for a 38-20 win on SeniorDay. The win clinched a school-record fifth consecutive bowlgame for UK (6-5, 2-5 SEC).

Cobb’s performance helpedsend UK’s 16 seniors off on awinning note — although itmight have been Cobb’s lastgame as well.

“He made play after play af-ter play,” head coach JokerPhillips said. “He got us a hugewin, giving us another guaran-teed game.”

All that time spent runningaround and through Vanderbilt’s

defense left him spent.“There was a point at the be-

ginning of the fourth quarter Iwas ready to lay down on thesidelines and take a nap,” Cobbsaid, who also had three catchesfor 56 yards. “I was just so tiredand gassed.”

Phillips said Cobb’s bril-liance can’t be defined withwords.

“I’m not sure what ‘it’ is,”Phillips said. “When you see ‘it,’you know it. … Let’s not callhim Randall anymore. Let’s callhim ‘it.’”

UK racked up a season-high580 total yards. And on SeniorDay, the seniors showed up. Der-rick Locke finished with 145yards and two touchdowns, ChrisMatthews caught five passes for97 yards and a touchdown, andMike Hartline threw for 232yards and a touchdown.

But it took a comeback forUK to get the victory. UK trailed13-10 at halftime as Vanderbilttotaled 242 yards of offense inthe first half. They had averaged263 yards per game before play-ing UK.

Phillips put the onus on the

team to get the intensity back up.He and the coaches left the lock-er room, leaving it up to theplayers to do what they wantedbefore they came back out forthe last half of football.

Provost Kumble Subbaswamy addressed questions fromstudents, faculty and staff in an informal chat Friday.

The chat was the first in a new series of informal chatswith administrators and is “a joint effort of the Staff and Uni-versity Senates,” Staff Senate Chair Jann Burks said.

More than 35 people attended the meeting. Most of thepeople in attendance were faculty and staff.

Chairs were set up in circular rows, and Subbaswamysat in the crowd and faced a web cam that aired footage on-line.

“There can never be enough communication,” Sub-baswamy said about the new informal chats. “The more wecan communicate, the more we can clear the air.”

Anyone in the audience was free to ask Subbaswamyquestions about any topic they wanted. Topics such as the newpresident, alternative funding for research, bullying and aca-demic culture were discussed.

Journalism Professor Buck Ryan began the questioningsession by asking Subbaswamy about the anxiety raised byPresident Lee Todd’s retirement.

“There will always be uncertainty,” Subbaswamy said.“The challenge is to maintain everyone’s focus on the work athand.”

One question regarding bullying came from a senate staffmember via the internet. Subbaswamy said he did not knowenough about the topic to comment. Sally Evans, Education-

LOS ANGELES The adage about whatdoesn't kill you makes you stronger hardly hasa more powerful musical manifestation thanthe story behind Tom Petty & the Heartbreak-ers' 1979 album "Damn the Torpedoes."

That tale has become a central part of themythology of rock 'n' roll, one that aspiringartists of any stripe might look to as a sourceof inspiration and reassurance in the face ofthe hurdles that inevitably spring up in front ofthose who are pursuing a grand vision.

It's a story worth revisiting, what withthis week's deluxe reissue of the original al-bum, which catapulted the group to a newlevel of commercial success and critical re-spect with its bold ambition and fearless mu-sical execution. The album reissue followsthe recent release on DVD and Blu-ray discof a new "Classic Albums" documentaryabout what went on behind the scenes be-tween the release of the group's 1977 sopho-more album "You're Gonna Get It" and thearrival more than two years later of "Torpe-does," which yielded the hits "Refugee,""Here Comes My Girl" and the band's firsttop-10 single, "Don't Do Me Like That."They make excellent companion pieces, thehome video edition of the documentary con-taining an additional 42 minutes of materialnot included in the August airing of a 56-minute cut on VH1.

Along with new and vintage interview andperformance footage of Petty, guitarist MikeCampbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench,bassist Ron Blair and drummer Stan Lynch,director Matthew Longfellow gets album pro-ducer turned often-elusive industry titan Jim-my Iovine on camera for his typically colorfulinsights. At one point, Iovine recalls tellingPetty they had enough songs for the record. "Itwas the last time I ever said that to a band,"Iovine says with a laugh. They also get engi-

neer Shelley Yakus to elaborate on his per-spective about what made "Torpedoes" suc-cessful on so many levels.

Petty didn't want their music to them,their lifeblood treated like just another com-pany asset, and the wily strategies they used tooutmaneuver MCA's high-priced Century Citylawyers showed them to be as smart as theywere passionate about what they were work-ing on in the recording studio. Petty recountsordering band members to hide the tapes at theend of each recording session and not tell himwhere they were, so he could honestly go intocourt if necessary and testify that he didn'tknow their location.

Musically inclined viewers should revelin what are effectively tutorials from Petty,Campbell and Tench about how they createdwhat became the Heartbreakers' signaturesound. Guitarheads will love or cringe atCampbell's story of how he came to own theiconic Rickenbacker guitar Petty holds onthe album cover he paid $150 for it from anAnaheim musician he found through a Recy-cler ad. Recording studio enthusiasts alsoshould relish the light that Iovine and Yakusoffer on the technical aspects of making thealbum. Petty, like Neil Young and some otheraudiophile-minded rockers, is a big fan ofthe Blu-ray disc's ability to capture manymore nuances of recorded music than can aCD, much less sonically watered downmp3s.

In conjunction with other studio tracks leftoff "Damn the Torpedoes," such as "Surren-der," "Casa Dega" and "It's Rainin' Again,"and live or alternative versions of several ofthe songs that did make the cut, the bonus ma-terial fleshes out the picture of just how strongone American band became through its just-less-than killer struggles.

PHOTO BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFFFreshman forward Terrence Jones drives toward the basket in the second half of UK's 88-65 win overEast Tennessee State University at Rupp Arena on Friday, Nov. 12 , 2010.

No one said life after EnesKanter was going to be easy.

A day after UK’s 6-foot-11 freshman forward fromTurkey was ruled permanent-ly ineligible by the NCAA,the Cats were forced to openthe season with senior JoshHarrellson and junior EloyVargas as the only true ‘bigmen’ on their 10-man roster.

UK’s under-sized lineupshowed Friday night. At half-time, Harrellson and Vargas’combined stats were: 11 min-utes, four fouls, two pointsand four rebounds.

At the final whistle, Har-rellson and Vargas’ combinedstats were: 29 minutes, sixfouls, two points and 11 re-bounds. Yikes.

“We need (Kanter). Every-body knows we need him. Weneed that inside presence,”junior guard DeAndre Ligginssaid. “You all seen that todaythat No. 41 (East TennesseeState’s Isiah Brown) had a

great game against us becausewe didn’t have that authenticlow post presence. We needEnes, but if things don’t workout we just got to find a way.”

With respect to the Buc-caneers, who didn’t use aplayer taller than 6-foot-8 intheir rotation, a lack of a de-finitive post presence wasn’tdetrimental to the Cats.

6-foot-8 Terrence Jones, anon-traditional big man whofinished with double-digit re-bounds, is more of a wingplayer with the skills neces-sary to play inside and out-side (a la Lamar Odom).

Jones’ teammates believehe can excel in the role Kan-ter would’ve filled.

“Terrence can be thatguy,” Liggins said. “He haslong arms, he’s big but hejust needs to find a way todefend the post.”

UK head coach JohnCalipari told Jones followingthe game that he may be re-signed to put him in the post.

“What I told him afterthe game: ‘Kid, you may beour post defender. It may beyou,’” Calipari said.

But the post play ofJones will be a moot point ifthe Cats replicate their hot

shooting. UK made 13 threesin the game, including 10 inthe first half, and five differ-ent Cats made 3-pointers.

“I think we are the best3-point shooting team in thecountry,” freshman guardDoron Lamb said.

Ironically, UK couldn’t buya three at times last season.

“I told them in there,‘You’re not going to do thisevery game. You’re not goingto shoot that well, but if youdefend, attack that glass andmake free throws like wedidn’t today, you’ll be fine,”Calipari said. “You don’thave to make 50 percent ofyour threes, make 35. Wewere making 10, 19 (percent)at times last year.”

However, it would be re-assuring to know reliable postplay does exist for that in-evitable cold-shooting night.

Prior to the opener, Cali-pari somewhat underplayedthe importance of havingKanter available to his team.One game into the seasonand he might be rethinkinghis statements.

Post play a questionmark without Kanter

On the first play of theseason, UK ran a designedplay for Josh Harrellson.

Brandon Knight cutthrough the lane while off theball, received a pass at thethree-point line and immedi-ately dumped the ball insideto Harrellson at the elbow.

Harrellson spun aroundand made the shot.

“It was one of our op-tions, and we executed theplay pretty well,” Knightsaid. “He did a good job ofsitting down and turning

around and scoring.”While it may or may not

have been intended to be astatement play, it could cer-tainly be perceived as one. Af-ter all, it was the first play ofthe entire season and came aday after freshman Enes Kan-ter was ruled permanently in-eligible by the NCAA.

UK head coach John Cali-pari addressed the decision af-ter a 88-65 win over East Ten-nessee State on Friday.

“I respect the NCAA’sdecision. I don’t agree with it,but I respect the decision be-cause it’s a hard decision,”

Calipari said.Calipari said he felt “bad”

for Kanter and his father.“No one can argue the

point that this kid wanted tobe an amateur, and so did hisfather,” Calipari said. “Hisdad did all the things hethought were going to makesure his son [Kanter] stayedan amateur. Now, if they didsome things they didn’t knowwere wrong by our rules,maybe. But they didn’t doanything wrong.”

UK will appeal the deci-sion, though.

“It was sad,” Terrence

Jones said. “I told him not toworry about it, there’s stillhope. That was pretty muchit, I didn’t want to keepbringing it up and keep talk-ing about it.”

The players have enter-tained the notion of a realitythat included Kanter able toplay.

“Of course (we wonder),”Jones said. “I built a great re-lationship with Enes, himcoming in me and Doron’sroom almost every night. Itwould be a lot of fun if he wasplaying.”

Knight recognized the sit-

uation was beyond his control.“We really can’t look at

that, there’s nothing we cando about it,” Knight said.“Why even think about it,why even talk about it? It’sout of our hands … While ad-versity swirls, we’re just try-ing to focus on what we haveat hand, which is trying to getbetter and win games.”

The decision leaves Har-rellson and Eloy Vargas as theonly players over 6-foot-8.

“It’s very important tohave the big guys that we dohave to step up for us and bethe physical presence on the

inside,” Knight said.DeAndre Liggins said the

team recognized the difficultyof moving forward.

“It’s going to be hard, butI’m sure Coach Cal will finda way,” Liggins said.

Without Kanter’s pres-ence in the paint, UK mighttrap post players more often.

“It’s not that alarming,”Knight said. “We’ll adjust.We’ll get better at playing inthe post. We all knew ourpost defense was somethingwe need to work on, and it’searly in the season. We’llhave time to get better at it.”

enue, was the primary focusof the project.

Blanton said the newcourses were part of UK’s“war on attrition.”

“It’s been a very aggres-sive effort, directly aimed atimproving retention and, ul-timately, graduation rates.We’ve added more academicsupport services and inter-vention efforts with students,among other things, to help

ensure student success,”Blanton said in the e-mail.“The results ... have beenpromising. Retention is at anall-time high at 82 percent.Our expectation is that grad-uation rates, over time, willcontinue to improve aswell.”

In an interview with theKernel Wednesday, Nov. 3,UK Provost Kumble Sub-baswamy, said distance-learn-ing initiatives like the onlinesummer courses show an ex-pression of high ambitions andlead to better graduation rates.

Subbaswamy said UK

needs to be more innovative.“Students have a certain

expectation with technology,”he said.

Kornbluh said anotherhope of adding courses likethese was that professorswould gain new knowledgetoo.

“One of the goals here isfor faculty in the college togain experience with usingnew technology,” he said.“So we’re hoping that whatthey learned in online class-es, they’ll actually use someof those tools during theirregular classes during the

year.”Associate professor in an-

thropology Lisa Cliggett taughtan online summer course onsub-Saharan Africa. In an e-mail to the Kernel, Cliggettsaid it was her first time teach-ing an online course, and shesaid one main difference was“the very clear sense” she hadof all her students.

“In a face-to-face class,students can hide (by notspeaking during discussion,sitting at the back of class,and simply not attending),”she said in the e-mail. “In anonline class, assignments re-

quire that students comment,engage and write about thematerial. So even for the qui-etest (or most likely to be“unengaged”) they must writesomething (or risk failing).”

Cliggett said the frame-work of writing online com-ments and ideas allows moretime for thought and synthesis.

The number of these newonline courses offered is ex-pected to double by nextsummer, and Kornbluh saidthe College of Arts and Sci-ences is working with othercolleges to add additional on-line summer courses.

“The coaches just left,”senior Derrick Locke said.“(They said) if you all don’twant to win, stay in here.Don’t come out if you alldon’t want to finish thisgame and win.”

Senior Ricky Lumpkin,realizing it was the seniors’last game in CommonwealthStadium, took charge in thelocker room, something hesaid he doesn’t normally do.He saw players laughing and

joking and decided to standup.

“This was one of thosetimes, I was like, honestly,bleep it, it’s time, I’m goingto say what’s on my mind,”Lumpkin said. “I stood up,everyone’s paying attentionto me and listening, and theytook it to heart. We went outand played second-half Ken-tucky football like we usual-ly do.”

Lumpkin’s speechseemed to work. On UK’sfirst possession, Cobb sprint-ed a career-long 73 yards fora touchdown out of the Wild-cat formation to give UK a

17-13 lead.“I wish we could play

the second half in the firsthalf every game,” Phillipssaid.

Cobb was at it againminutes later. With UKbacked up inside its own 10-yard line, Cobb lined up asquarterback and ended upmaking a play that lookedstraight from a playground.He danced around andavoided three pursuing de-fenders, then took off downthe left sideline. He cutacross the middle of thefield, juking two more de-fenders on the way to a 52-

yard run that led to a touch-down that stretched UK’slead to 24-13.

Cobb broke the all-timesingle-season record for all-purpose yards with that play,something Cobb said he had“no clue” happened. It wasone worthy of a record-breaker.

Fittingly, seniors DerrickLocke and Chris Matthewshad career-long plays onSenior Day.

“I wanted to give thefans something to rememberme by,” Locke said. “I feellike I did that. I feel like wedid that.”

Great, another e-mail service.That’s right. Rumor has it

Facebook is to announce Mondayplans for a newcommunicationservice that wouldallow users to sende-mail messages toother users with the@facebook.comsuffix.

As if it isn’tenough for collegestudents to be onFacebook everyminute of free timethey have, the new

e-mail service is sure to increaseuse even more.

The chat service, wall postingsand current messaging systemaren’t enough, apparently.

According to a Nov. 12 NewYork Times article, the new e-mailservice wouldn’t be stand-alone,similar to Gmail, Yahoo or MSN.In the article, analyst JeremiahOwyang said that these companiesshould still be worried, though, be-cause they have been (unsuccess-fully) trying to add social network-ing features to their sites to rivalFacebook.

On the other hand, Facebookhas already successfully rivaledsites like Foursquare with its Face-book Places feature and onlinecoupon sites with its feature that

lets merchants provide online dis-counts and coupons to users viamobile phones.

Fox News reported Nov. 12that only reporters were invited tothe exclusive Monday press con-ference. Details have been keptunder wraps, but many suspectthat the news shared at this confer-ence would then be echoed atFacebook founder Mark Zucker-berg’s Tuesday presentation at theWeb 2.0 Summit.

Techcruch, who first broke thenews Feb. 5, 2010, proclaimed thisanticipated Facebook update, called“Project Titan” a “Gmail killer,”but spoke highly of the potential ofFacebook e-mail.

Techcrunch said in a Nov. 11update, “Facebook knows whoyour friends are and how closelyyou’re connected to them; it canprobably do a pretty good jobfiguring out which personal e-mails you want to read most andprioritizing them accordingly.”

While I can’t say that I’mcompletely against Facebook e-

mail — the messaging system inplace right now definitely needssome updates — I don’t agreewith the principle of it.

Facebook has more than 500million users worldwide, andZuckerberg and fellow co-founder Dustin Moskovitz areamong the world’s youngest bil-lionaires (Moskovitz was actuallynamed the youngest billionaire byForbes this year). The social net-working site is more popular thanever.

Do they really need to expandtheir market? Is a Facebook e-mailservice what those 500 millionusers need?

Evidently, and I’m sure newsoutlets everywhere will report onexactly why after Monday’s pressconference.

I’ll grin and bear it for now.And hey, I’m sure the Facebook e-mail service will be greatly benefi-cial to a lot of people. But just likethe Roman Empire could only ex-pand so far and endure for so longbefore it fell, I predict Facebookwill one day experience the samefate.

When that happens, I’ll be cu-rious to see how many will de-fault to those “other” e-mailproviders.

KERNEL EDITORIAL

Cricket teamrepresentsculture

Facebook tightens grip on communication

SHANNONFRAZERKernel

columnist

Techrunch said in a Nov. 11update, “Facebook knows who

your friends are and how closelyyou’re connected to them”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Response to a Nov. 8 column. First off, thank you for an

excellent article. However whilequidditch may have initiallybeen played by Harry Potter fansonly, it is not that way anymore.

While the core people play-ing may be fans, there are plentyof athletes at college who knowlittle or nothing about the gamewho came to it because they sawit, and thought it looked challeng-ing and fun.

After a match or two theywere hooked. Penn State whereI live is going to the QuidditchWorld Cup this weekend. Iwatched they play a couple ofscrimmages two weeks ago andthought it was awesome to see.

While I agree that it's notnecessary that Quidditch getbacked by the NCAA, I disagreethat one of the reasons is thatQuidditch is not really a sport.

The term sport is defined as:An athletic activity requiring

skill or physical prowess and-

often of a competitive nature, asracing, baseball, tennis,golf,bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunt-ing, fishing, etc.

The "muggle" variety maynot involve flying on broomshigh up in the air but it's certain-ly a combination of a few wellknown sports like rugby,lacrosse, dogeball, and basket-ball.

It may look a bit weird, but itcertainly fits the description andalready has as much or morepopularity behind it than someNCAA backed sports like Bowl-ing.

At the end of the day howev-er, I guess what is really impor-tant is that people are outside,running and having fun ratherthan sitting in front of a comput-er, or tv. I think we can all agreethat the sport of Quidditch shouldbe applauded for that if nothingelse.

CASSIDY HERRINGTON, Kernel cartoonist

As a university with atop-20 plan and makingstrides toward improving di-versity UK's Cricket teamdisplays the exploration ofculture that would help fos-ter such goals.

Americans traditionallyhave a fear of trying newthings, whether it be food,art, music or in this case,sports.

The UK cricket teamhas an immense passion fortheir sport, but the onedownfall they face, accord-ing to an Oct. 28 Kernel ar-ticle is that they don't getmuch support or interestfrom their peers.

One team member be-lieves a big part of the rea-son that the team gets littlesupport is because there is amisconception that cricketgames last for days, whenin reality the average game

lasts only four hours.The cricket team has

been on UK's campus formore than a decade, yet lastmonth's story was the firsttime the team had receivedcoverage.

The team feels comingout to a game isn't merelyabout supporting the team,but rather about students’willingness to try newthings, outside of the norm.

Too often, sports areconfined by cultural andnational divides. Beingopen to trying new thingsfrom other cultures opensdoors and opportunities tolearn about people, placesand things different fromwhat students may be usedto.

Checking out a sportwith a rich cultural historylike the cricket team is agood stepping stone.

funds needed to send Reneeto treatment.

Tworkowski decided topublish Renee’s story onMySpace, titled “To WriteLove On Her Arms.” Hethen received financial sup-port to design shirts to raisemoney for Renee’s treat-ment.

When popular brandssuch as Switchfoot and An-berlin wore the shirts ontheir shows, Renee’s storyspread quickly. TWLOHAbecame an internet sensationand music remains a largepart of the organization.

The organization has do-nated $800,000 to treatmentand support.

“The goal of bringingTWLOHA is to spread love,hope and support,” said Stu-dents Activities Board, Di-rector of Engaging Issues,

Jill Baranowski. “Reading of poems, per-

sonalized scripts and quoteswill be a part of this event,allowing UK students to ful-ly open up about life.”

There will be an anony-mous Ransdell Gallery set upin the back of the ballroom toallow students to write lettersto express their feelings. Theletters will be available forattendees to read.

Universities such asEaster Kentucky University,University of Transylvaniaand University of Louisvillehave been inquiring aboutthe TWLOHA event, and areexpected to attend.

Tworkowski will bringmusicians from Illinois;Ryan O’Neal of Sleeping atLast will perform.

The event has been publi-cized via Facebook, posters,flyers and a huge display ofgiant arms outside of White-hall Classroom Building.

Director of Public Rela-tions for the SAB, Sabrina

Hounshell created the dis-play of giant arms.

“Making an art figure ofgiant arms is a different wayto attract student’s attention.Students can feel a part ofthe event by walking underthe arms and placing theirsignature on it,” said Houn-shell.

The arms were made outof chicken wire and tookabout six days to make.

Hounshell has knownabout the TWLOHA organi-zation since high school, andis very excited to attend. Sheplans to participate in thewriting of the anonymousletters and believes that stu-dents will feel more comfort-able in partaking in this ideawith a crowd of supportaround them.

Baranowski said they areexpecting more than 500people to attend the event onMonday, Nov. 15 at 7:30p.m. in the Student CenterGrand Ballroom. Admissionis free.

LOVEContinued from page 1

Actors and actresses areaccustomed to playing deador fictional people, but UKtheater students had the chal-lenge of portraying fellowstudents on Friday night.

The final performance of“Bringing It Home: Voices ofStudent Veterans” requiredfive theater students to per-form the exact words of fiveUK veterans who were inter-viewed for the Louie B.NunnCenter for Oral History’s“From Combat to Kentucky”oral history project.

One of the play’s manyemotional moments occurredwhen Jonathan Herst, playedby theatre senior Alex Koehl,described learning he had losthis leg.

“Well, at that time a fe-male E5 medic walked up,”Herst said. “She looked at mein the eyes and I saw her lookdown at my leg. And then sheturned around and threw up.And I knew right then andthere, I said, ‘Okay doc, obvi-ously my leg is gone, so justput me out and I don't want toremember anything.’”

“These actors did a phe-nomenal job representingthese real words,” DougBoyd, director of the NunnCenter said. “This has beenone of the most effectiveways I have seen our inter-views used.”

The production revived aplay performed in the springand produced by collabora-tion between the Veterans Re-source Center, Louie B. NunnCenter for Oral History andthe UK Department of The-atre. Representatives from allthree groups were in the audi-ence. The audience was limit-ed to 150 guests, a manage-able size for the intimate set-ting in Buell Armory.

Megan Henke, theatrejunior, was one student in at-

tendance. She came to watchher theater classmates andwas impressed by their mas-tery of the difficult scriptwhich demanded not only thememorization of lengthy in-terview excerpts, but also thememorization of pauses,“ums,” and hesitations theveterans used during their in-terviews. She attributed theactors’ success partially totheir experience speaking tothe veterans in person.

“They got to interviewthese people, so they knowthem much better than wedo,” Henke said. She alsopraised her classmates’ tal-ents, however, saying they ef-fectively became their charac-ters while playing their roles.

She noted that Joe Fields,the senior psychology andcommunications major play-ing Stephanie Murphy, mas-tered Murphy’s distinctivediction and verbal halts. Shesaid Fields really soundedlike Murphy.

“That’s not how she[Fields] talks at all,” Henkesaid. She was equally compli-mentary of the four actorsplaying male veterans.

“None of these guys areserious,” she said, “They aregoofballs.” The usually funnytheater students becamesomber and respectful fortheir roles. “You don’t jokeabout this kind of stuff,”Henke said.

Dana LoMonaco, animalscience pre-vet junior, agreed.

“It’s touching and shock-ing to hear all this,” LoMona-co said.

She also commented onthe play’s unconventionalstructure. During the play, au-dience members changed lo-cations three times, moving todifferent areas of the armorydesigned to represent bootcamp, combat and campus. Inthe combat area, audiencemembers sat on foam

squares, and the actors movedaround and amongst them,creating an interactive actingenvironment.

“You get more involved,”LoMonaco said of the envi-ronment. “It becomes morepersonal.”

“I think it’s cool they aredoing something differentwith the setting,” Henke said.“You feel like you are a partof it.”

“This is what we livefor,” Herman Farrell, theplays director and main writersaid, “nights like tonight,where everything came to-gether perfectly.” When heasked the cast from the springperformance to return for arevival performance, they allcame back. “This is a testa-ment to their rigor, their talentand their character,” Farrellsaid.

Coordinator for the Veter-ans Resource Center, Antho-ny Dotson was full of praisefor the play’s actors.

“I think I’m as proud ofthose young people as I amany of my soldiers,” Dotson,the former commander of theROTC at UK and a Lieu-tenant Colonel, said.

He said the play helped

the veterans involved by let-ting them know people caredabout their stories.

“You’ve heard five storiestonight,” Dotson said. “Thereare over 500 here on cam-pus.”

Student play honors Veterans

PHOTO BY WILL BALDON | STAFFActors performthe play "Bringing it Home", performed by Army andAir Force ROTC cadets on Veteran's Day in the Buell Armory.

LOS ANGELES Warner Bros. Pictures isabout to lose a major rainmaker, so it's goingto let him linger a little longer before lettinghim go.

That rainmaker, of course, is Warner'shugely profitable "Harry Potter" franchise.And by the time the box-office runs dry on"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I"after its release this holiday season, the wizardof Hogwarts will have raked in more than $6billion for Warner and its parent, Time WarnerInc. through seven films.

But when "Deathly Hallows: Part I" debutsNov. 19, almost nine years to the day that thefirst installment, "Harry Potter and the Sorcer-er's Stone" was released it will be the last timethe "Potter" series plops down in the middle ofthe holiday season and force the rest of Holly-wood to plan their holiday films around it.

The question is, who will fill the void?"It opens an opportunity. I don't know who

jumps in there," said Paul Dergarabedian,president of box-office for the website Holly-wood.com. "We have to see. Sometimes thesethings just happen organically."

Consider that the first six installmentsmade a cumulative $5.4 billion, or $900 mil-lion apiece in worldwide receipts. That makesthe $6 billion threshold easily within range.

It's also possible that when Part II of thatfinal "Potter" installment hits theaters in July,the franchise could pile on to that haul enoughto make it $7 billion in eight films, plus count-

less more sales in home video and untoldancillary revenue from product tie-ins.

But that will be it for what will end upbeing a film series that spanned nearly 10years and lifted the fortunes of Warner Bros.to a level that may be impossible to reachagain.

It's no wonder that Warner is stretching outthe series of seven books to eight films. Com-pany officials make no pretensions about try-ing to give at least a little more life to theseries before bidding it farewell; that's another$900 million in potential receipts left on thetable, they say privately.

With many film series, each successivemovie often ends up making less than the first."Potter" went through the inevitable declineafter "Sorcerer's Stone" still the highest-gross-ing installment in the series but got over itafter the third movie, "Harry Potter and thePrisoner of Azkaban," which still made $796million

Sales started climbing again and the lasttwo films, "Harry Potter and the Order of thePhoenix" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed $938 million and $934million, respectively.

Brandon Gray, president of box-officetracker BoxOfficeMojo.com says that splittingone book into two parts in a blatant effort torake in more money could backfire.

"It doesn't work too often but it may bethat 'Harry Potter' is a unique phenomenon,"Gray said. "It's incredible how strong this fran-chise is, six movies in."
