Orchestra holding final free concert The UK Symphony Or- chestra will be holding its fi- nal free concert of the year Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Singletary Center. The orchestra will be performing the “War Re- quiem” by composer Ben- jamin Britten. Britten was a composer, conductor and pianist of the 20th century. His most well-known works include the opera “Peter Grimes” and his composi- tion “The Young Per- son’s Guide to the Or- chestra.” Friday’s concert will be held in commemoration of Britten’s work and his 100th birthday. The “War Requiem” was written for the dedication of the new St. John’s Cathedral in Coventry, England in 1962. The old cathedral had been destroyed in a German air raid in the 1940s. Brit- ten, a pacifist, wrote the piece as an argument against the war. He also added settings of poetry from English poet-soldier Winfred Owen, who was killed in the closing days of World War I. “We don't think the “War Requiem” has been performed previously in Lexington, and certainly not in the last 20-30 years,” UKSO Maestro John Nar- dolilo said. “The perform- ing forces for the work number more than 300. It calls for three conductors, a large chorus and orchestra, a chamber orchestra, three vocal soloists, organ and children's choir.” T h e UKSO con- cert is under the instruc- tion of Nar- dolilo and assistant con- ductor Mar- c e l l o Cormio. It will give attendees an opportunity to see some of Lexington’s other musical groups, such as the UK Chorale and the Lexington Singers, both under the in- struction of Jeff Johnson. Lexington Singer’s Chil- dren’s Chamber Choir, un- der the instruction of Lori Hetzel, will also perform. All of the musical groups will be collaborating for the War Requiem.

In the first game of the day, UK got off to a good start getting an early run thanks to an RBI single by senior Alice O’Brien after freshman Maisie Steed drew a lead-off walk. Despite the early lead, UK junior pitcher Ellen Weaver started a little rocky. After a HBP, a single and a walk, MTSU loaded the bases with two outs in the first, but Weaver was able to get out of the jam by forcing a ground- out to herself to end the threat. In the third inning, junior Lauren Cumbess extended her career-best 10-game hit- ting streak with a single. Af- ter extending her hit-streak, Cumbess came in to pitch for Weaver, and pitched a quick 1-2-3 inning to keep the Blue Raiders scoreless. UK would tack on anoth- er run in the fourth before MTSU would get on the board to cut the score to 2-1. In the seventh, both team’s bats exploded as UK scored five runs to make the score 7-1. In the bottom of the frame, MTSU scored three runs to make it 7-4 before Cumbess struck out back-to- back Blue Raiders to end the game and seal the win for the Cats. In game two, freshman pitcher Katie Henderson took the mound for the Cats. In the bottom of the first, Cumbess extended her hitting streak to 11 games with her two-out double.

In “Silver Linings Playbook,” Robert DeNiro won plaudits for playing a complicatedfather. Now he’ll spend some time exploringhis own.
In a new documentary from director PerriPeltz (”The Education of Dee Dee Ricks”), DeNiro will examine the life of his father,Robert, a painter and bohemian figure whodied in 1993 at the age of 71. Currently titled“Robert De Niro Sr.,” the film is being pro-duced by De Niro producing partner JaneRosenthal and involves the work of Peltz col-laborator Geeta Gandbhir. The movie has beenacquired by HBO and will likely be shown onthe network later this year, Rosenthal said.
De Niro Sr. was born in upstate New Yorkin 1922. He moved to New York City andmarried Virginia Admiral in 1942. He wouldfind success as an Abstract Expressionistpainter, exhibiting in galleries and museumsaround the world and garnering acclaim aspart of a group of early-midcentury Americanartists that included Jackson Pollock. De NiroSr. would also come to be part of a small artscircle that included Henry Miller and Ten-
nessee Williams.But his family life was complicated. De
Niro Sr. and Admiral divorced shortly after DeNiro was born, and the artist continued to leadan eccentric life that his son has described aslonerish. In the 20 years since De Niro Sr.died, the younger De Niro has maintained hisfather’s downtown Manhattan studio prettymuch as he left it.
The actor can be succinct in interviewsabout his father, but Rosenthal had been push-ing him for years to dig deeper via a film. DeNiro appears in the doc with recollectionsabout his father and his influence on his ownlife. De Niro, of course, also made headlinesthis winter when he choked up talking abouthis own role as a father on Katie Couric’s syn-dicated show.
De Niro, who can be seen in the maritalcomedy “The Big Wedding” later this monthas well as the Luc Besson crime drama“Malavita” in the fall, will open the 12th an-nual Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday.

during that time.Though no move has
been made to lower summertuition, the number of classesavailable during summer ses-sions has been on the rise.
UK’s College of Arts &Sciences have over 150 class-
es available for students look-ing into summer school in-cluding language courses,core classes and electives, ac-cording to the UK A&S web-site.
Other schools have signif-icantly, and in some casesdrastically, lowered the tu-ition for summer school.
The University of Iowaannounced that summer tu-
ition would be free for cur-rent freshman by 2014 be-cause of a new scholarship,according to the university’swebsite.
This effort to make sum-mer school more palatablefor UI students is in hopes ofincreasing graduation ratesand helping students gradu-ate in four years, the websitesaid.

This column is written inresponse to “Image of blackmasculinity must not be lim-ited by archaic views,events,” published on4/14/13 in the Kernel.
Dangerous, ubiquitousand often deadly, it seemsthe stereotype of the Amer-ican “black man” hasspread like a cancer, and itsometimes requires thecareful scalpel of reason todiscern between truth andfiction. Both white and
black, educated and ignorant, operate undercertain harmful assumptions that misrepresentwho the “black man” is.
In her most recent article, an admittedlywell-written though contentious piece, Sha-coya Kidwell begins, “the values of theblack man … have been stereotypically allthings physical.” Indeed, she is correct. Theimages associated with black masculinityrepresent little intellectual prowess, butrather, hypermasculine gangsterism, bruteathletic ability, crime and the list could goon.
No matter how long the list may be,though, they are simply stereotypes to beconfined to Comedy Central, and not to in-tellectual discourse.
Shacoya rightly acknowledges the“plethora of prominent doctors, lawyers,[etc]” but by the end of her article she
seems to buy into the very stereotypes sheseeks to debunk.
“The black men of today are hungry buthungry for the wrong things,” she writes.
This of course reflects a painfully falsestereotype, and no matter how color blindwe think we are, it is vital we abandon suchstereotypes, lest repeat the death of TrevonMartin another thousand times.
But let us entertain such a blanket state-ment for the sake of argument. The blackman, as I’m sure Shacoya would agree, isindeed a man, and is thus no less rationalthan any other. Given the opportunitiesavailable to him, we must assume that any-one, including the black man, will make themost rational choice given the tools at hisdisposal.
So, indeed black men are hungry, buthungry for the same things every other manin this nation is hungry for. Our hunger maybe exaggerated by the starvation of ourschools, businesses and communities, butour desire for self-determination, respectand economic independence is no differentthan Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.
The difference between us and them isthe opportunities available to us — qualityeducation and capital.
How, then, does one explain the num-bers of black professional athletes and musi-cians if this niche is simply a stereotype?
It must be conceded that all stereotypeshave an element of truth, but compare thenumber of black athletes and musicians to
the numbers in poverty and you get aboutthe odds of a cow winning the KentuckyDerby. Furthermore, black Americans havehistorically occupied the fields of athleticsand music partly due to endemic povertyand lack of capital.
Between 1863-1865, black men andwomen, formerly enslaved, were emancipat-ed in massive numbers.
But in a capitalist system of economy,freedom in theory has little practical benefitwithout the ownership of capital. And uponhis freedom, after hundreds of years of ex-ploited labor, the black man was given noth-ing.
The only capital many black men ownedwas their body, and that is what they used.
This historical truth might help answersome questions. Why might black menstereotypically have values “all things physi-cal” as Shacoya points out?
Could it be that for many, the only formof substantial economic viability is the saleof his own labor?
Professional athletes and musicians, thestereotypical niches for the black man, arein their most basic form, laborers.
They are among the few profitable pro-fessions that require little to no capital in-vestment. Time and practice, indeed, but no$50,000 down payment to start a business inan economically unviable ghetto.
It is the one of the few ways (thoughdifficult and unlikely) for a person in pover-ty to reach prominence in this country with-
out access to quality education.So what is the solution? The answer is
certainly more complicated than a dream orfleeting hope.
Let us remember that black people arenot the only exploited people in this coun-try.
In Appalachia for example, we mightfollow the lead of long famed Mother Jones,and grasp our communities from the grassroots, not relying on disconnected politicalfigures to solve our woes.
Let us look to our history, too. In the1920s, Marcus Garvey called for the recy-cling of the black earned dollar, spawningeconomic viability in black communitiesacross New York City. Imagine if all theblack athletes and musicians (not to mentionthe plethora of doctors, lawyers, engineers,etc.) lived in their communities of birth in-stead of moving to sterilized suburbs.
Imagine the tax revenue to benefit localschools; the business revenue that wouldsupport local economy.
Whatever the solution, it is supremelyimportant that we respect the “black man”as a rational individual, and abandon gener-alizing statements and assumptions that weas black men simply do not value intellector education. For that is a fallacious, cancer-ous stereotype.

be prepared for the SECChampionship next week.”
Junior Stephen Powerswill look to nab his fifth top-10 finish of the season afterhis 33rd-place finish at theGary Koch Invitational.
