Agnieszka Holland’s “In Darkness,” nomi-nated for a foreign-language Academy Award(it lost, to “A Separation”), is set in the city ofLvov, then part of Poland and now theUkraine, in the midst of World War II. It’s aharrowing Holocaust tale, but one that speaksto humankind’s capacity to endure, to fight onin the face of terrible cruelty.

Adapted from Robert Marshall’s book “Inthe Sewers of Lvov,” Holland’s technicallyimpressive film offers a grueling account ofthe true story of a group of Jews who spent 14months living in a rat-infested undergroundsewer, dark, damp and redolent of human ex-crement. These were not heroes, but ordinarycitizens — flawed, afraid, ungenerous — who,forced from the ghettos as the Nazis lined upJews for the work camps, and the deathcamps, fled to the sewers instead.

“In Darkness” is also, pivotally, the storyof a city sewer worker, Leopold Socha (RobertWieckiewicz). A married man, a Gentile,whose moral core seems fairly coreless at first,Socha takes money to harbor the Jews —guiding them to hideouts, bringing food andsupplies. It was a mercenary act, not a mis-sionary one, but over the course of the year

and two months that he served as their secretguardian, Socha undergoes his own transfor-mation. Like many of his Polish brethren, hefelt antipathy toward the folks with the starssewn on their clothes, living in the ghetto. Butas he comes to know them, playing with thechildren and befriending Mundek (Benno Für-mann), a brawny thug who insists on returningaboveground to look for a missing girl, Sochaputs himself at risk, sacrificing his own safetyand standing in the community to help thefrightened fugitives.

Holland, shooting in confined spaces withlittle light, elicits taut performances from astrong cast. The filmmaker, whose career tookoff with a very different sort of Holocaustfilm, 1990’s Oscar-nominated “Europa Eu-ropa,” understands that most of these storiesarrive at a point of unspeakable, incomprehen-sible horror. These moments force us to askquestions about ourselves, our existence, aboutthe nature of man and the nature of God — orif there is a God at all.

“In Darkness” asks these questions. Theanswers are troubling, inspiring, frightening,true.

‘In Darkness’ asks hard questions

Insight customers shouldn’t see service changesInsight Communications

customers can expectchanges to their services inthe coming years.

Time Warner Cable an-nounced the completion ofits acquisition of InsightCommunications last week.Some Insight customers arecurious about what the ac-quisition will bring.

Katie Payne, a seniorearly childhood dducationmajor, said she hopes anychanges will only improvethe quality of service.

“I think Insight does agreat job with customerservice and helping people,”Payne said. “I just hopenow that Time Warner Cableis in charge, things still runsmoothly.”

Professor DonaldMullineaux teaches theMergers and Acquisitionsclass for the Gatton Collegeof Business MBA program

and said any details sur-rounding changes to the ca-ble provider will aim tomake the company more ef-ficient.

“They have to justifypaying $3 billion to acquirethe company,” Mullineauxsaid. “One way to do this isby cutting costs and raisingrevenue to increase theirprofits, and do anything theycan to make the companymore efficient.”

He said the decisions yetto be made will determine ifmany Insight employeeskeep their jobs in the comingmonths.

The impact on InsightCustomers is far from beingfinalized, he said.

“The deal just was an-nounced, so it will take along time for Time WarnerCable to make changes tothe company,” Mullineauxsaid. “This announcement is

great for shareholders, butthe impact on customers isyet to be determined.”

Mary Jo Green, vicepresident of communicationfor the midwest of TimeWarner Cable, said Insightcustomers will not see anychanges to their services inthe near future.

“Insight customers willhave the same channels, thesame rates and use the samecustomer service number forthe time being,” Green said.“Now that the acquisition isfinally completed we can getinto the details of the com-pany and find out what im-provements we can make tothe services.”

Green said Time WarnerCable will implement at leasttwo new services for certainchannels — the Start Overprogram and the Look Backprogram. She said a new op-

Joyce Achenjang, a biol-ogy and psychology seniorand president of the AfricanStudent Association, did notknow much about Rwandawhen a friend introduced herto a man named EdouardKayihura.

He made her want tolearn more.

Tuesday evening, theAfrican Student Associationwill host Kayihura, a sur-vivor of the Rwandan geno-cide, for a talk entitled,“Genocide, Justice, & Rec-onciliation in Rwanda.”

Kayihura survived theRwandan genocide in the Ho-tel Mille Collines, made fa-mous in the movie “HotelRwanda.” Since then, Kayi-hura has played an active rolein the rebuilding of Rwanda,said Achenjang.

“He is going to talkabout the history of thegenocide, the involvement ofthe government, the rebuild-ing process and his personalstory,” she said.

Achenjang, a native ofCameroon, was eager tobring Kayihura’s story toUK.

“She really wanted tohave someone to come andgive their experience,” saidAdesuwa “Ade” Ighodaro, abiochemistry senior andvice president of ASA.

The Rwandan genocidein April 1994 resulted in themurder of 800,000 men,women and children. Thelarger Hutu tribe massacredthe smaller Tutsi population,also killing political leadersand Tutsi sympathizers, ac-cording to the website of the

United Human Rights Coun-cil.

Achenjang said shehopes that Kayihura willbring awareness of the mas-sacre to many students maynot even remember.

“It was a really good wayto shed light on an event thatnot a lot of people knowabout,” Achenjang said. “I’mhoping to understand why,and why the help that shouldhave come didn’t.”

Ighodaro echoed that en-thusiasm.

“I’m excited to learnmore about the genocide,”she said. “People talkedabout it when it was happen-ing, but they don’t talk aboutit now.”

“Genocide, Justice, &Reconciliation in Rwanda”will occur from 6 to 8 p.m.in the small ballroom in theStudent Center.

Apart from gainingknowledge of the tragedy inRwanda, Achenjang said shehopes students garner an ap-preciation for action againstgenocide around the world.

“It’s a really good way toshed light on events in othercountries,” she said. “Wehave to be aware of eachother. You never know whenyou might be connected.”

UK hosts Rwandansurvivor

PASADENA, Calif. —What really went on in thatsmoke-filled room whenJohn McCain chose AlaskaGov. Sarah Palin to be hisrunning mate in the 2008presidential campaign?

HBO is here to tell you.While it may be liberal poli-tics as usual for HBO, thefolks who created the film,“Game Change,” insist theywere fixated on veracity.

Julianne Moore, whomorphs into Palin without aslip, reports she did exhaus-tive research on her subject.“The first thing I did washire a vocal coach because,for me, she has an incrediblyidiosyncratic way of speak-ing, and I really felt I neededto capture that,” says Moore.

“So I worked with acoach. We looked at hoursand hours of footage. I lis-tened to her on tape. I readher book. I read ‘GameChange’ (on which the filmis based.) I read her assis-tant’s book. I read absolutelyeverything I could get myhands on. You know, it’s areally daunting task to playsomebody who is not only aliving figure, but a hugelywell known one. So, for me,the most important thing wasaccuracy. I wanted to be asaccurate as possible, as Icould in my characterization,I mean, certainly even herphysicality.”

She says Director JayRoach (the “Austin Powers”films) proved a tremendoushelp.

“We would sometimesjust have the computer therewhen I was doing the de-bates, to be able to watchthings very precisely, likebeat-by-beat, to get the ges-ture just right because we areall very familiar with her andwith those, sort of, iconicmoments. I mean, it was justfour years ago.”

Danny Strong, the writerwho adapted Mark Halperinand John Heilemann’s book,pursued his own research.

“I interviewed 25 peoplefrom the campaign. Everycharacter in the film, I got tointerview except for Palin,who declined,” he says.

“But I was fortunateenough to have her book,‘Going Rogue,’ which washer beat-by-beat account ofhow she felt about it. JohnMcCain and (McCain advis-er) Mark Salter ... didn’t re-

spond to a request for inter-views. So I interviewedeverybody else. And then Iinterviewed many people thatwere in the campaign thataren’t characters in the film,as well. When you dive intoa subject the way you do fora project like this, and youare interviewing all of thesepeople, you get a perspectiveon them that is so much moreprofound than the characterthat we get from the media,just from Internet clips,” hesays.

“So the portrayals arebased on thorough researchand interviewing as manypeople as possible, and weare trying to be as truthfuland capture the essence asclose as we can possibly getit. Jay and the actors andeveryone (are) just doingeverything they can to get tothe truth of it.”

Woody Harrelson playsSteve Schmidt, McCain’ssenior campaign strategist.It’s a role which hurls Harrel-son against type. “Well, youknow, I’m not a Republicanor not really a Democrat —probably more an anarchist,”he says.

“So the concept of play-ing this guy who, I think,ideologically, couldn’t bemuch further away from me,just felt like a real chal-lenge.”

Strong, who is an actoras well as a writer (“MadMen,” “Buffy the VampireSlayer”), says he doesn’tthink his teleplay will actu-ally change anyone’s viewon the subject.

“I think people are justlocked in how they feel. Andit’s not designed to changeanybody’s minds. It’s de-signed to just show you thetruth and what happened andthen to discuss Americanpolitics on a macro, kind of,bird’s eye view level aboutwhat this incident means orwhat this campaign meanstoward our entire politicalprocess. So there’s not anagenda here of trying to getanyone to change their mindsone way or the other.”

Moore says she couldempathize with Palin becauseshe has experienced anxiety-producing last-minutechanges in her own work. “Iwas in a situation once whereit’s like, as an actor, whenyou are working, and peoplekeep changing the lines. Andyou are memorizing a newset of lines every day. Andthe next day, they say, ‘No,this one. No, this one. No,this one.’ And that was oneof the things that was hap-pening to her,” she says.

“They were coaching her,and they would say, ‘Nowapproach it from this angle.’

And then somebody elsewould come and say, ‘No.This idea is better.’ And itwas one on top of the other,and she was ready to ex-plode. And I think, absolute-ly, anyone can relate to thatas a human being. And, cer-tainly, when you are calledupon to perform that way,with that much pressure, Ithink it’s incredibly relat-able.”

Campus organizations, like UKAgriculture Ambassadors, AlphaPhi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and theRobinson Scholars are organizingdrives throughout campus.

The supplies collected throughFriday will be distributed the follow-ing week to affected communities.

The Robinson Scholars programwas one of the school’s first groupsto get a drive together and will dis-tribute canned goods in West Liber-ty this week, according to a newsrelease issued Monday.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.began a clothing drive Mondaymorning that will last through Friday.

Clothing, monetary donationsand non-perishable food can be do-nated at the Martin Luther King Jr.Cultural Center in the Student Cen-ter, according to the release.

Monetary donations will be col-lected outside the Student Center Star-bucks from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdayand Wednesday, the release said.

Donations will also be acceptedoutside the Student Government Of-fice in the Student Center from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, accordingto the release.

Members of UK Ag Ambassa-dors are holding a supply drive tocollect for victims. They are lookingfor clothing items, food, cleaningsupplies and hygiene products. Do-nations can be dropped off at N6 AgScience North or 112 Erikson Hall,the news release said.

The three major governing bod-ies of UK’s Greek community metMonday afternoon to plan their re-sponse to the natural disaster.

Rhonda Strouse, student servicesdirector, said in the news release thatstudent services is looking for op-tions for students to contribute to therelief efforts, mentioning a possibleservice project though AlternativeBreak.

UK, apartmentsoffer safety tips

Many students might not knowexactly what to do when a natural dis-aster occurs while they’re away fromhome.

But when a threat to safety is im-minent, UK attempts to alert its com-munity as soon as possible.

UK sent several email and textmessage notifications to those signedup for its alerts Friday when a tornadowarning was issued for Lexington. Thealerts notified that campus was closingand included weather forecasts.

UK Alerts arrive over email with-in a matter of minutes, UK spokesmanJay Blanton said, and phone alerts areeven faster.

UK President Eli Capilouto madethe decision to cancel classes after 3p.m. Friday, Blanton said. That was sostudents could return to their houses,apartments or residence halls to pre-pare for potentially severe weather.

Although most buildings on cam-pus have severe weather shelters,those are not necessarily designatedspots for people to go if they have ad-vance notice of an emergency.

“We want people to leave” cam-pus, Blanton said.

He said UK officials, includingResidence Life staff, kept in constantcommunication and received proce-dures Thursday.

However, those who are still oncampus when severe weather hits aredirected to The Commons on SouthCampus or to nearby residence halls.Dorm staff are advised to let peopleinside and encourage anyone outsideto come in.

“Hall directors and resident ad-

visers train repeatedly to know whatto do in critical weather,” Blantonsaid.

Lexington’s Landlord Tenant Actdoes not say landlords or propertymanagers are required to provideplans or information to tenants foremergency situations. Lexington gov-ernment officials could not find a cityordinance requiring that, either.

However, many of the larger com-plexes near campus with multiplefloors have ways of notifying resi-dents about severe weather events.

Royal Lexington posted tornadoadvisories to its residents’ doors andposted a notice on its Facebook page,property manager Amanda Poole said.And when tenants came to turn in rentlast week, she asked if they knew howto handle themselves in an emergencysituation.

Others, like Red Mile Village, of-fered its clubhouse to residents wholive on second and third floors, saidproperty manager Cassandra Arnold.Management there also sent text mes-sage and email blasts, posted on theRed Mile Village Facebook page andadvised residents to go to the inner-most area of their apartments.

Representatives for corporateowners of Newtown Crossing and TheLex did not return calls as of presstime.

Newtown Crossing, however,sent its residents an email Friday,which included a safety guide for tor-nadoes.

In the aftermath of a storm thatcaused significant damage, on-campusfacilities such as Memorial Coliseum,Alumni Gym, The Commons or otherathletic facilities would serve as shel-ters, Blanton said.

“We’re still going to eat dinner. Weneed it now more than ever,” Neil Morri-son said. As his car was being towed, hegrabbed one of the headlights, laughed andsaid he would keep it.

“That’s just stuff,” Neil Morrison saidas he pointed to his smashed car. In refer-ence to the man whose car flipped, he said,“That’s a human.”

If a single fact couldserve as a testament to thecaliber of students whoattend UK, it would have tobe this year’s DanceBluefundraising total —$834,424.57 — which willbenefit the Golden MatrixFund at the UK PediatricOncology Clinic.

Despite the inclementweather, which cut the 24-hour dance marathon to 12hours, dancers adopted thementality of “half as long,twice as hard.” Although

most dancers understood the severity of theweather and realized that the postponing wasnecessary, Twitter and Facebook were filledwith dancers mourning the loss of 12 hours ofthe marathon.

Not once did I hear a dancer admit he orshe was happy to have a chance to sleep after

a week of midterms, or secretly excited to nothave to stand the entire 24 hours.

In fact, several groups began dancingwhen the marathon wasoriginally scheduled tostart in order to dance theentire 24 hours.

Since its beginning in2006, DanceBlue hasraised more than $3.5 mil-lion for pediatric cancer.While this incrediblyimpressive sum of moneyshould be commended,DanceBlue reaches farbeyond the monetary sup-port it is able to provide forthe UK Pediatric OncologyClinic.

Perhaps the mostimpressive accomplishment of DanceBlue isthat each year the DanceBlue experiencegrows, not only through money raised, but

also through excitement and support on allcorners of campus, throughout the Lexing-ton community and to members of the “Big

Blue Nation” across thecountry.

Few experiences bringtogether the entire UKcampus like DanceBlue.Whether participating as adancer, volunteer, commit-tee member, morale teamleader, chair or spectator,everyone in Memorial Coli-seum on Saturday was amember of the DanceBluefamily.

In light of recentcolumns in the Kernel advo-cating for and against themerits of UK’s Greek sys-

tem, I would like to invite students on bothsides of the argument to take a close look atDanceBlue.

For 24 hours, we forgot about the linesthese writers seem so eager to divide studentson, and join together to dance for one reason:the kids.

It is this fervor of all students for such aworthwhile cause that remind us, first andforemost, we are all members of the Big BlueNation.

The things that unite us are far greater thanthe things that divide us. More than anything,DanceBlue shows what incredible feats UKstudents can achieve when we stand and worktogether for a common cause.

On behalf of the students and dancers, I’dlike to extend a huge thank you to all of theDanceBlue chairs, committee members,morale leaders, dancers, volunteers, spectatorsand everyone else who made this fantasticexperience possible.

I can’t wait until #DB13!

On Friday, storms with devastating tornadoes swept across parts of thestate.

On Monday, student groups were already planning donation drives andorganizing ways to help the communities that had been affected.

Even though the tornadoes did not hit Lexington, these students realize thatlosses in other parts of the state affect us all. Their contributions will be just onepart of the aid that will help towns like West Liberty and East Bernstadt rebuild.

You can do your part, too.Donate money on campus Tuesday or Wednesday in front of the Student

Center Starbucks from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or in front of the Student Governmentoffices on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Other organizations like the RedCross are also accepting monetary donations.

If you want to donate goods, the Kentucky State Police is accepting neededitems at headquarters and posts to distribute to those affected.

We as Kentuckians, or at least as Kentuckians nine months of the year, mustsee that their devastation is our devastation — and we should do what we can tohelp.

Tornadoes affect all, donations accepted

More than anything,DanceBlue shows whatincredible feats UK students can achievewhen we stand and work together for a commoncause.

Freshman forward An-thony Davis earned a confer-ence weekly award for thesixth time this season whenhe was named SEC Fresh-man of the Week Monday.

Davis, a frontrunner forthe Naismith College Playerof the Year award, earned hisfourteenth double-double ofthe season against FloridaSunday with 22 points and12 rebounds.

“I would be hard-pressedto find any player that’s beenmore impactful to a teamthan Davis has been for Ken-tucky,” said Florida headcoach Billy Donovan on ateleconference Monday.“He’s been a terrific playerand he’s doing more andmore.”

While Davis has hadsome slow-starting games

this season, he explodes inthe second half. Davis hasscored in single digits sixtimes all season, averaging14.4 pointsper game. InU K ’ sm a t c h u pwith Flori-da, he hadsix points atthe end ofthe firsthalf.

“ T h e ytold me,‘Ant, weneed you.The waywe’re goingto win thisgame isthrough you. We need you toplay,’” Davis said of theFlorida game. “That’s what Itried to do, make the best ofmy opportunities.”

And his scoring is com-

ing from more than dunks.After spending more timeshooting in the gym, Davis

has developed hism i d - r a n g egame, in-cluding ahook shot,and hassplashed two3-pointers inthe last twogames.

UK headcoach Cali-pari has beensetting upplays forDavis as thefour man, ro-tating sopho-more forward

Terrence Jones as the centerand creating open shots forDavis.

This creates a rotationwhere, if successful, the Catscan attack in all possible sit-uations.

“We’re just doing it inany situations in case I foulout or get hurt, we can putTerrence in,” Davis said.“We really do run plays forme at the four, get me shots,get my confidence going.”

As for the debates sur-rounding UK’s need for aloss to motivate the team, theCats — and other SECcoaches — seem to be cast-ing the potential history-making jabber out of theirminds.

“Every game you’re go-ing into, you’re trying towin,” Donovan said. “I don’tlook at it like how manygames they’ve won in a row,that they’re ripe to lose orthey need a loss to grab theirattention.”
