The 2011 Education Abroad Fair willtake place Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to3 p.m. in the Student Center Grand Ball-room.
Anthony Ogden, director of educationabroad at UK, wants to change students’minds about what it means to studyabroad.
He said the term “education abroad” ismeant to replace the idea of “goingabroad.”
This year, EA wantspeople to get the messagethat everyone can studyabroad.
Ogden said he wantsto get rid of the mentalitythat it’s too expensive orprolongs graduation.
The programs now“tailor to UK students,”complementing and en-hancing their majors, hesaid.
Rather than students picking wherethey want to go, Ogden said he wants stu-dents to “find a program that is alignedwith their major or career interests.”
Education abroad is the “umbrellaterm” for study abroad, internship abroad,research abroad and teaching abroad, Og-den said.
He said students should take advan-tage of these programs and graduate hav-ing learned things that they couldn’t atUK.
Summer Eglinski, EA adviser,planned this year’s fair.
“Experiential credit is invaluable,”Eglinski said. “It gives students the edgeon the competition.”
Seth Riker, communications coordi-nator for EA, agrees.
“The things you learn aren’t going tobe on a transcript,” he said.
Wednesday’s fair aims to help stu-dents see the many options EA offers.
Flyers will be handed out to guidestudents and give a layout of the area.Signs will also be clearly hung and color-coded, all to highlight the many directionsstudents can take when approaching theidea of studying abroad during college.
Of the 4,000 programs offered, theEA staff have highlighted a few organiza-tions.
“Exchange is the cheapest and can ac-tually jumpstart graduation,” Ogden said.“This year, we’re giving an automatic
$1,000 scholarship to studyin Australia.”
Ogden stresses the ac-cessibility of the UK spon-sored programs, notingthat the UK credits elimi-nate the hassle of a trans-fer.
Unlike many otheruniversities, this programallows students to scheduleand pay for one credit hourand still enroll in a full
schedule of course, Ogden said.While he wants to shy away from the
term ‘going abroad,’ Riker said he thinksstudents should go where they want.
“I just want students to do it,” he said.“I don’t care what they call it.”
Of the roughly 2,000 students whoshowed up to last year’s fair, Ogden says637 enrolled in programs. He said he ex-pects “well over 800” this year.
After spending five months studyingin Chile, Riker is enthused to recruit oth-ers. He spends his time making flyers andspreading the word through social media.
“I want to see as many other studentsstudy abroad as possible,” he said. “If youwant to study abroad, you can. I’m a PellGrant, self-supporting college student; if Ican make it work, then I don’t see any-one’s excuse. The hardest part was com-ing back.”

UK Student Government is offering childcaregrants this semester for UK students who are alsoparents.
Childcare grants are being offered to both part-time and full-time students. The childcare grantsare available for undergraduate and graduate stu-dents.
A main focus is to help students with day careservice for their children, said Micah Fielden, SGPresident, in an email to the Kernel.
“As for my take on them, I am very passionateabout providing monetary assistance to students atUK that have children,” he said.
Fielden said he hopes the program will giveparents the opporunity to finish college.
“By providing funding, we help pay for daycare and other activities that allow the parent to at-tend class and successfully earn their degree”Fielden said.
SG has made it a priority to increase the effec-tiveness of the program, Fielden said.
“Vice President Nikki Hurt and I felt that SGneeded to provide more funding for this great pro-gram, so we decided to raise the funding for child-care grants by ~33 percent from last year's $15,000budget allocation to this year's $20,000 allocation,”Fielden said.
Stephen Bilas, SG chief of staff, said childcarehelps give student parents assistance in continuingtheir education at UK.
“We all need help along the way and childcaregrants allows us to extend a helping hand to a se-lect group of students responsible for more thanjust getting to class on time,” Bilas said. “We havehad people in the past say that their grant was thereason they were able to continue their education.”
Applications can be accessed through SG’swebsite under applications and resources.
The form consists of general basic informationand recipients will be notified the week of Oct. 3,2011. The grants for childcare will be available eachsemester.
The final deadline to apply for the grant is Fri-day at noon.

UK’s provost is one of two finalists for auniversity president job.
Provost Kumble Subbaswamy will visitIowa State University’s campus Wednesdaythrough Friday to meet with different univer-
sity groups, according to anIowa State news release.
Roger Underwood, IowaState’s search committee co-chair, said Subbaswamy“communicated a great pas-sion for the job.”
Subbaswamy will attenda one-hour public forum onThursday, Underwood said.
Iowa State spokesmanJohn McCarroll said the search committeebegan its search for a new president in June,after current president Gregory Geoffroy an-nounced in March he will retire by July 2012.
Geoffroy is a Kentucky native, Under-wood said.
The search committee hired Parker Exec-utive Search out of Atlanta, McCarroll said.
Four candidates were originally invited tobe finalists, search committee co-chair LabhHira said in the news release.

The UK football team lost to arch-rivalLouisville at home Saturday for the first timesince 2006. The loss to the Cardinals came oneweek after Louisville lost at home to FloridaInternational, a team far from the spectrum ofmajor college football. Following the loss, themood was somber across Big Blue Nation asfans’ hopes of reaching a sixth consecutivebowl game began to dwindle just three weeksinto the season.
Some players feel that the fans are prema-ture in giving up on the season, reasoning thatit was just one of 12 games on the schedule andthat the Cats still sit at 2-1 on the season.
Senior guard Stuart Hines is already look-ing ahead from the loss.
“We just have to put this one behind us andstart preparing for next week," Hines said. "Wecan’t sit here and put our heads down, we justhave to move on.”
UK head coach Joker Phillips, who has beeninvolved with the program since taking over asoffensive coordinator in 2003, understands fan’sconcerns after the loss.
“I feel the same way as everybody,"Phillips said in his weekly press conferenceMonday. “Hey, understand this: I care aboutthis program more than anybody in here.There’s not one person in here that cares moreabout it than me."
Phillips has dealt with difficult seasons be-fore. Upon returning to Lexington in ‘03 as acoach, he didn’t make his first trip to a bowlgame until 2006. For that reason, Phillips re-mains determined and unconcerned about Sat-urday’s defeat.
“I’m angry,” Phillips said. “I’ve been a partof an 0-10-1 season. Battled ourselves to get toa 9-3 season. As a coach I’ve been in a 1-10season. Battled ourselves to where we woneight, nine games. I’m angry also. I’m not sat-isfied with what we’re doing here, I’m not. Itstarts with me. We’ll get it corrected.”
The focus for UK now turns to the FloridaGators, the first SEC opponent on UK’s sched-ule this season and the nemesis that has defeat-ed the Cats 25 years in a row.But this year, UKplayers think they have a secret weapon: moti-vation from the loss to Louisville.
“We’re gonna bounce back,” junior widereceiver La’Rod King said. “We’ve got Floridain SEC play next week and we are going totake this feeling and put it in our back pocketand use this motivation to our advantage.”

LOS ANGELES — It was a good week-end for Walt Disney Co., what with its ABCEntertainment unit taking home five Emmysand a reissue of its “Lion King” ruling thebox-office jungle.
But you wouldn’t know it by looking atthe entertainment giant’s shares in Mondaytrading: Disney was off 1.4 percent at $32.45,mirroring losses on the Dow Jones IndustrialAverage. Disney’s one of the 30 componentsin the blue-chip benchmark.
Disney’s ABC snared five Emmys for its“Modern Family” sitcom, including best com-edy series, writing and directing awards aswell as statuettes won by supporting actorsJulie Bowen and Ty Burrell. It was the secondyear that “Modern Family” won the Emmy forbest comedy series.
The offbeat show, which has attracted crit-ical acclaim and praise from gay-rights groupsfor prominently featuring two gay characters,dominated the comedy-series categories.“Modern Family” also took some of the atten-tion of past Emmy ceremonies away fromTime Warner Inc.’s Home Box Office, which
often dominates the awards night. Read recentstory on why Disney is viewed as a safer betthan Time Warner in tumultuous markets.
HBO did, however, capture a few honorsof its own, taking two Emmys for the minis-eries “Mildred Pierce” and one for the dramaseries “Boardwalk Empire.” But that didn’thelp New York-based Time Warner’s shares,which traded down 1.2 percent to $30.59.
Another big winner at Sunday’s Emmysceremony was the Public Broadcasting Sys-tem’s “Masterpiece Theatre” miniseries“Downton Abbey.” The British-based dramawon in four categories.
And the hit cable series “Mad Men,” de-veloped by AMC Networks Inc., continued itsoutstanding-drama-series winning streak, cap-turing its fourth consecutive honor Sunday.
Separately, Disney got a boost when its re-release of the 1994 animated classic “TheLion King” took in an estimated $29.3 millionto lead the weekend box office — roughlydouble what analysts had forecast.

Two of the finalists withdrew, Hira said,leaving Subbaswamy and Steven Leath,vice president of research and sponsoredprograms at the University of North Caroli-na-Chapel Hill.
Underwood said the committee is “verysatisfied with the two finalists.”
McCarroll said both candidates will beon campus this week for public forums.Soon after, the search committee will con-vene and review online comments. Thecommittee will then report its findings tothe Board of Regents, which will invite thecandidates to meet with it.
“We will be deciding on our presidentnext week,” Underwood said.
UK President Eli Capilouto said Sub-baswamy informed him that he was a finalist.
“In the short time that we have workedtogether, we are building a close andstrong working relationship,” Capiloutosaid in an email to the Kernel, “so I amnot at all surprised that another high-qual-ity institution would be interested in him,given his outstanding work at UK.”
Iowa State is a public research universi-ty in Ames, Iowa. It has an enrollment ofalmost 30,000, according to its website.
This is not the first time Subbaswamyhas interviewed for a university’s presidentposition.
An Illinois newspaper reported thissummer that Subbaswamy was a runner-upfor the University of Illinois’ president po-sition last year.
In July, UK spokesman Jay Blantonsaid the provost didn’t have any commenton the matter.
Blanton said Subbaswamy relayed tohim that the Illinois interview process hap-pened more than a year ago.
“He was honored with their interest, buthe is very happy at the University of Ken-tucky,” Blanton said.
Subbaswamy became UK’s secondprovost July 1, 2006, according to UK’swebsite. He first came to UK in 1978 whenhe joined the physics faculty.
During his first 18 years at UK, heserved as associate dean of arts and sci-ences and chair of the physics and astron-omy department, UK’s website said. Heleft UK in 1997 to be the dean of arts andsciences at the University of Miami, be-fore going to Indiana University in July2000 as the dean of arts and sciences,where he stayed until 2006.

“I think everything inlife is art. What you do,how you dress, the way youlove someone and how youtalk. Your smile and yourpersonality. What youbelieve in and all yourdreams. The way you drinkyour tea, how you decorateyour home, or party. Yourgrocery list, the food youmake, how your writinglooks, and the way you feel.Life is art.”
I must have read thou-sands upon thousands ofquotes. But when I cameacross this particular oneyesterday, I recognized itinstantly as the most spe-cial, soon to become one ofmy favorites. Art may imi-tate life, but truly, life is art.
With this in mind, I amable to step back and vieweverything as a series ofmoving pictures. The worldis our museum and eachimage is a reflection of you.Just as two people can walkaway from the same paint-ing and have gained entirely
different meanings, as is ourview on life.
Our foundation mayremain sturdy, but the restof us is often built, torndown and recreated overtime with each definingmoment, altering a uniquelife path and lens fromwhich to view the world.This seemingly intricatemaze is as simple or ascomplex as you make it.
This attitude instanta-neously beautifies every-thing while simultaneouslymoves me in and out ofreality. It creates and rein-forces the idea of perspec-tive because what is real tome may not be what is realto you. As such, beauty,happiness and life are allrelative.
If no perspective isthought to be the same then,as a result, life is a billionimages of art; a collectionof infinite moments creatingan explosion of colors andsounds that swirl aroundeach person, if you were tojust open your eyes to seeand feel them.
Real art doesn’t limititself to “happy” and serene.Real art isn’t afraid to cap-ture the raw moments, theones that often lie in oursecret self. In the saying
“life is art,” there is no dis-crimination between goodor bad, for you cannot haveone without the other. Andin that lies freedom. All ofit lies before you, vividswirling colors and imagesthat eventually fade in thesunlight. And what a sight itis to see.
The art I find mostbeautiful is that which ishonest. The energy of sucha person or nature is authen-tic, drawing me in by aninner brightness they seemto reflect; recognition of lifethat belongs to those whoaren’t bound by its limits.
I would imagine one ofthe saddest states of exis-tence would be one whereyou are fortunate enough tobe surrounded by art andbeauty, but neglect to see itin everyday life.
I challenge you to takethe time, if just for amoment or an hour of yourday, and appreciate yourintimate surroundings;whether it is simply yourinnermost thoughts or thetrees that change colors inthe most nostalgic of ways.

As fashion week takesover runways in citiesaround the world, men arefinding style inspirationfrom those least expected.
Women should nolonger worry about buyingthe same outfit as theirbest friend, but be moreconcerned about buyingthe same outfit as theirboyfriend!
Over the past fewmonths, male celebritieshave found comfort intheir masculinity despitetheir decision to sneak intothe women’s section whenshopping.
When rapper Lil’Wayne performed in a pairof sagging, leopard-printwomen’s jeggings (jeanleggings for those of youwho are unfamiliar) byTripp NYC at this year’sMTV Video MusicAwards, many were leftconfused, and little didanyone foresee the trendwhich was about to takestorm — a Twitter accountsolely dedicated to the rap-per’s pants was even creat-ed shortly after the rap-per’s style controversy:@Waynes_Jeggings.
In a recent interviewwith Life & Style maga-zine, singer Justin Beiberhad no problem admittingto wearing women’s jeans.
“I’ve worn women’s
jeans before because theyfit me,” he told Life &Style. “It’s not a trend; it’sjust whatever works,works.”
Now Justin, I don’tknow who you are tryingto fool, but I am quite sureyou can find jeans that fityou comfortably withouthaving to sneak into Sele-na’s closet.
In his interview withLife & Style, Bieber re-ferred to rapper KanyeWest’s fashion choices inwomen’s wear, as if hewere his fashion inspira-tion, which wouldn’t besurprising because West isvery familiar with the artof women’s wear.
According to aYahoo.com article lastyear, during New YorkFashion Week, West worea blush-colored women’sblouse by Phillip Lim be-cause he liked the way thecolor looked against hisskin. And this year duringNYFW, West wore a color-ful women’s top by Frenchlabel “Celine” to theCoachella show.
It is obvious KanyeWest has no problem em-bracing a “her-terosexual”look; and as if wearingwomen’s clothing wasn’tenough, West is soon to
debut his new women’s-wear clothing line.
According to Australia’sHarper’s Bazaar magazine,West’s yet-to-be-titled linewill make its runway pre-miere at the far more exclu-sive Paris Fashion Week,showing on Oct. 1 at 9:30p.m.
However, West’s inter-est in fashion is noovernight sensation. Otherthan attending numerousfashion shows, he has in-terned (yes, I said in-terned) for Fendi, LouisVuitton and Raf Simmons.
In 2009, West tried tostart a clothing line,“Pastelle,” which nevertook off. Hopefully he hasbetter luck with the upcom-ing women’s wear line, ashe collaborated with Eng-lish designer LouiseGoldin, who has designedfor “Topshop,” and Aus-tralia’s Harper’s Bazaarfashion editor, ChristinaCentenera.
Both men’s- andwomen’s-wear styles havebeen borrowed, reinventedand recycled over manyyears. Women have mas-tered the art of boyfriendjeans, oxfords and a clas-sic men’s blazer, and nowmen are appreciating colorand exploring new jeanfits.
Whether you find it so-cially acceptable or not,fashion is always evolvingin new ways, and nowacross gender lines.

After UK’s loss toLouisville on the gridironSaturday, UK men’s bas-ketball head coach JohnCalipari was already atwork preparing for a newyear.
“After the footballgame, I went for almost twohours, and what we did wasgo through the drills thatwe’re going to be using,”UK head coach John Cali-pari said on his website.
“The Dribble-Drive,how we teach it, how weimplement all the parts of it.Including shooting from itand also what we have
added since my trip toFIBA basketball – some ballscreening. So now we’veadded that.”
Calipari has beensqueezing in time with theteam, from individualworkouts to team practices,between returning fromcoaching the DominicanRepublic and being out onthe recruiting road.
On Sunday and Mon-day, Calipari said, the teamwent for about one “brutal”hour each day. He won’t bearound again until nextSunday.
“They know why they
came here,” Calipari said.“To be coached, to be chal-lenged, to go against thebest. In this practice, whenyou shoot a lazy shot, it gotblocked. It got pinned.”
Calipari also said he washappy with the pickupgames being played be-tween former UK players(and LeBron James, once)and the current team.
“That gives us that ad-vantage, for them, to seehow a professional playslike and how they train,”Calipari said.
