UK missing the boat to study abroad Program makes changes, sees improvement
People are more attractive when ‘off-limits’

UK students do not like to leave Lexington.

At least according to UK’s Education Abroad program, UK students are not studying abroad as much as other universities. The EA office said it is not sending many students abroad compared to other institutions, such as the University of Tennessee, West Virginia University and Indiana University. Anthony Ogden, the director of EA, suggests that the problem with UK’s program may stem from the way students have traditionally approached study abroad. “I think UK is behind because people are comfortable in their surroundings and hesitant to go outside the box,” Seth Riker, senior EA peer adviser said. Other Kentucky students have viewed education abroad as a trip and the EA office as a travel agency, Ogden said. “Up until now, study abroad here has been about where. It should be a lot more about what students want to do (once they’re abroad) and how they’re going to do it,” Ogden said. Ogden and his team of EA advisers have been working to change this outlook by focusing on the “what” and the “how” of study abroad. In the short time Ogden has been director, he has helped the EA office double the number of UK sponsored programs, and next year he hopes to double that number again, especially in the winter session. Ogden is also expanding international internship offerings, and Career Services at UK will be awarding an international intern of the year award next year. “We are seeing huge growth here in education abroad at UK,” Ogden said. Enrollments for summer abroad programs are up by 120 percent, and the EA office organized a spring education abroad fair for the first time this year, he said. “I think just recently it’s been stressed that
People always want what they can’t have. A recent study by UK psychology professor Nathan DeWall shows that forbidding a significant other to look at attractive people may lead them to do just the opposite. DeWall and three research partners tested what they called the “forbidden fruit” hypothesis in a series of three experiments. The subjects were all romantically involved individuals whose “attitudes toward unfaithfulness, memory for attractive relationship alternatives and attentional bias toward attractive relationship alternatives” were tested, according to the published study.

Social media helps future employment Lecture to give do’s and don’ts of network sites By Eva McEnrue news@kykernel.com
A Facebook page is an all-access peek into the life of a person for family, friends and potential employers. Questionably tagged pictures may receive a few “likes” and comments from friends, but future employers are not likely to be amused. These issues are the topic of a seminar today called “Social Networking Online: Using Social Media to Create Your Network,” where students can learn how to use social media networking to positively impact their future job aspirations. “Many students do not realize that employers are now using social networking to screen job candidates,” Azetta Beatty, the assistant director for the Stuckert Career Center, said. With a few clicks of the mouse, businesses have access to photos, activities, friends and interests. “Students not only need to be aware of their online activities, but what their friends are posting as well,” Beatty said. “Even though a photo may not be posted on your personal site does not mean employers are unable to search the Internet and find it.” Alumni Association Career Counselor Kelly Higgins will discuss what to consider when posting pictures and comments online. The seminar, sponsored by the GatCat Professionalism Series, will provide tips on how to manage privacy settings and limit accessibility to information.

The researchers also found that the experiment had the same effects on both men and women, and that those who were pressured not to look at others agreed that cheating is “not so bad.” The study, “Forbidden Fruit: Inattention to Attractive Alternatives Provokes Implicit Relationship Reactance,” has gained national recognition from publications such as The New York Times. The findings were surprising to the researchers, who found the results somewhat counterintuitive. Students experiencing young love may understand how it feels to be limited. “That’s standard,” Kortney Warfield, a nursing sophomore said. “If you tell somebody not to do something, they’re going to do the opposite.”
Hollywood glorifies real-life dive UK professor with ties says ‘Sanctum’ not historically accurate By Kelsey Caudill news@kykernel.com
When James Cameron’s “Sanctum” premiered at the box office on Feb. 4, the film hit close to home for one UK professor. Cameron’s 3D thriller is loosely based on a 1988 Australian cave diving expedition that Stephanie Schwabe’s late husband, Rob Palmer, took part in. Palmer was one

of 15 individuals trapped underground during the expedition. Palmer, a technical diving pioneer, became known among cave divers worldwide as a man who pushed his limits, Schwabe said. Although Palmer lived through the 1988 expedition despite the storm, he died while cave diving in the Red Sea in 1997. “Sanctum” is based on Palmer’s MCT 1988 dive into the Pannikin Plain Frank McGuire (left) and his son Josh star in a scene in the 3D action See CAVE on page 5 thriller “Sanctum,” from executive producer James Cameron.

A dash of white to survive winter Wearing winter colors helps transition to spring By Ellen Warren
Whiteout Conditions
MCT
Got the blahs? Who doesn’t! Gray days. Cloudy skies. Everybody’s asking: Where’s spring? Sure, we can whine and whimper about the weather or we can do something positive like go shopping. If you’re sick of winter, perk yourself up with something a little illogical: the color of snow and ice. Buying something white or “winter white” another name for ivory/cream is the perfect pick-me-up and can transition smoothly from now into spring, when, incidentally, the fashion gods have declared that we will be wearing a huge amount of white. To join the whiteout trend doesn’t have to cost much more than a season’s worth of SPF 45. All but one of the items shown here are priced less than $40. Much of the white clothing and accessories now in stores is on sale and that includes clothes lightweight enough to work now and well after the flowers bloom, too. “Winter white looks extremely elegant and very sophisticated ... and teams beautifully with black, gray, camel, navy blue,” says Gregg Andrews, a fashion director for Nordstrom. “Mixing your whites is very chic. ... The key to it is, you have to mix your texture,” Andrews explains. “The nice thing about whites is you can layer them. They don’t have to match,” says Susan Swimmer, fashion features editor for More magazine. “White gets more interesting when it’s layered.” Consider, for example, a flouncy blouse like the one on this page, lay-
Horoscope Today's Birthday (03/02/11). Love is in the air, and money wants your attention ... but don't waste it. Give attention generously, and save your cash for a rainy day. After all, money can buy an expensive ring, but it can't buy you love. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — Today you may find your perfect partner, but it will require you to step out of your shell. Be patient, especially regarding your own goals. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Your optimism is contagious. Have you considered a career in public office? Today is a good day to develop your leadership skills. People are listening. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 — Be ambitious and willing. Challenge your old self to bring new ideas to flower. Go outside for fresh air, and find inspiration in trees. Spread your roots.
• Mind your underthings: Nude, not white, bra beneath a sheer top • Cream-colored clothes best for winter-tospring transition: Save bright white for later. • Mix multiple white shades and textures. • Look for end-of-season markdowns on lighter weight (non-wool) winter white clothes and accessories. ered beneath a sweater and over a lacetrimmed cami, all in varying shades of cream. It’s almost a fashion cliche by now that nothing beats a great white shirt, but Swimmer says “get one with an interesting collar, or neckline, or tuxedo pleating down the front.” I think even a simple, crisp, classic shirt can look great and entirely modern teamed with an interesting sweater or jacket. I keep going back to the label Foxcroft for wash-andwear convenience. No ironing! Ever. (Find them at Nordstrom, suepatrick.com and, if you hit it right, your local Goodwill store.) Just sporting some white Elton John-esque sunglasses can make you feel better about the gloom. What could be more counterintuitive for kicking winter to the curb than wearing a pendant that looks as if it’s been hacked off a glacier. But somehow it seems summery fresh. An armload of ivory bangles, mixed with gold, are a good winter antidote and you’ll find them by the bowlful at mass retailers like Forever 21 (at less than $5 each). Ditto for shoulder-grazing earrings in faux moonstone or feathers.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — The dead autumn leaves feed spring flowers. When the day looks dark, imagine a double rainbow in your future. Be patient. Something's gestating. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Don't worry about updating your Facebook status. Get together with friends in real-time instead. You'll all appreciate it. Add time outdoors moving your body for extra points. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Too much work and no play can make Virgo very dull. Make sure you get plenty of rest. Sitting down looking at a screen can be strenuous. Take a break. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — A child has the answer. You were one once. Love the memory of that kid, and forgive everything. Your time is too precious to spend it on regret or bitterness. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — You don't need to rearrange all the furniture to make your home feel like new. It may
just require a new plant or some new music. Enjoy your nest. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Use technology wisely to communicate your thoughts. There are people out there who want to hear them. Celebrate diversity, and share words for all. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9 — Wealth comes easily when you're open to receiving and sharing it. Pay special attention to your insights today. They're golden. Give back to get more. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 9 — You're on top of the world, looking down on creation. Celebrate singer Karen Carpenter's birthday. Celebrate music. Use your vantage point to look ahead. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6 — Today you may encounter the biggest monsters to fight in the most difficult level of this game called life. Learn from the battle, and rest up. MCT

The golden goal anniversary: A Canuck celebrates Crosby NICK CRADDOCK Kernel columnist
This weekend marked the one-year anniversary of the golden goal scored by wunderkind and NHL star Sidney Crosby, that won the gold medal for the Canadian hockey team against the U.S. at the Vancouver Olympics. One year has passed, but I’d still like to say, “In your face, America.” To reinforce a point that is probably clear to everyone: Canadians really like hockey, as evidenced by the fact that 80 percent of Canadians (26.5 million people) watched at least some part of the gold medal game. The audience was undoubtedly
made larger because the Canadians’ opponent was the U.S. As much as the opportunity to watch hockey is enjoyed by most Canadians, the opportunity to showcase that Canadians aren’t always thrilled with being typecast in the role of “America’s hat,” even if it is a fancy top hat, was too good to miss. On that note, nor do Canadians care to constantly play the role of “America’s little brother.” A year ago, Canada was going to become the brother that the parents are proud of because he quit his unfulfilling job as a Subway sandwich artist and enrolled at ITT Tech. Crosby’s goal was an epic way to cap 17 days of sport, patriotism and pushing unbridled Canadiana on a global audience—I’m sure you learned to love ”Quatchi,” one of three dinky
Memoirs of a Canuck mascots for the games. How could you not think of Canada when you see a grown man dressed as a childfriendly sasquatch sporting earmuffs? The golden goal, seven minutes and 40 seconds into overtime, was only needed because American Zach Parise tied the game at 2-all with 25 seconds to play. I’ll unreasonably justify the Canadians almost frittering away the gold because we love to weave a fantastic storyline, and a tying goal late was only going to help build the suspense. Building the suspense was also the reason behind
World Change Coalition introduces new projects By Samantha Rothbauer features@kykernel.com
UK’s new student-run organization will be holding an information session toward the end of this semester about becoming a part of the World Change Coalition.

Through these value-oriented projects it helps develop those students involved into global citizens. “In essence, the main point behind the WCC is simple: Through our image, involvement and sponsorship we will give people a greater incentive to be good and care for the well-being of others,” Aleksey Graboviy, the WCC chief administrative officer

the Canadians’ 5-3 loss to the U.S. in the preliminary round. If you don’t believe that, you’ve been blinded by patriotism. It simply couldn’t have been that the Canadians were fallible, could it? No, perish the thought. The gold-medal win sent Canada into hysteria. I’ll acknowledge that my victory dance involved one of these three: prancing, weeping or syrup (hint: it wasn’t prancing or weeping). Yes, OK, in roughly a year at the summer Olympics in London, the most memorable moment of the Canadian Olympic team will probably be that the unknown pasty track star didn’t finish last in the 100m dash.

The beef with beef I’ve got a beef with Taco Bell. As taco lovers everywhere plugged their ears to the recent news that the popular fast-food giant’s infamous “seasoned ground beef” isn’t exactly, well, all beef, the restaurant went on the defensive. Taco Bell took out full-page advertisements in more than nine major newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. What’s more, company president Greg Creed started a YouTube campaign on 28 to assure its taco filling is 88 perSHANNON Jan. cent beef, according to a Yahoo News reFRAZER port. He claimed that the water and other Kernel fillers contribute to the “quality of the columnist product.” Creed’s Jan. 28 press release on the Taco Bell website said that the other 12 percent is “a secret recipe.” But Fox News reported Jan. 25 that an Alabama law firm filed a lawsuit against Yum! Brands, of which Taco Bell is a member, for falsely advertising the product. Per the law firm, Taco Bell “meat” does not meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s minimum requirements to be labeled as “beef.” The meat mixture doesn’t even contain a majority of beef, the firm alleged. The law firm claimed the meat mixture contains binders and extenders. “Attorney Dee Miles said the meat mixture contained just 35 percent beef, with the remaining 65 percent containing water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, antidusting agent and modified corn starch,” Fox News said. The Yahoo article clarified this point, as well. USDA guidelines do not apply to restaurants, only meat processors. That means the companies that Taco Bell buys its meat from should be the parties in question, not Taco Bell. Other popular fast-food chains are guilty of falsely selling the all-beef claim. McDonald’s hamburgers, for instance, are classified as all beef, but the chain “includes additives and preservatives in many items,” according to the Yahoo News article. Amid the countering claims, here are my two cents on the issue. If you don’t know and/or can’t pronounce ingredients in a product, it most likely doesn’t deserve to have “all” or “100 percent” in its product description. If social media and people like Stephen Colbert poke fun at a company’s pride and joy, it’s pretty inevitable that consumers are going to notice. And some still debate whether Taco Bell serves grade D meat. I wonder why... Beef. It’s what’s for dinner. Well, somewhere between 35 to 88 percent of it is. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Board of Trustees justified in actions LETTER TO THE EDITOR This letter is in response to the Monday, Feb. 28, article titled “Board of Trustees shows disconnect from university community.” After reading Monday’s opinion piece on the Board of Trustee’s apparent disconnect from university needs, I felt it necessary to point out the complete lack of understanding of how a university budget and priorities are set as described within the article. One of the biggest demands of campus student leaders has been an improved student center. While serving on the Vice President for Student Affairs search committee just last year, I had the pleasure of conducting a survey at an annual student leaders retreat. Besides accessibility to students, experience in building a new and improved Student Center ranked at the top. When students come to campus, it might be easy for the upperclassmen to assume their criteria will start with the quality of classrooms. However, plenty of research has shown that students select universities by how welcoming and social the campus feels. One of the largest factors of retention is based on students getting involved in at least one extracurricular activity in their first 90 days as a student. Graduate success in finding a career increasingly hinges on more than in-class studies. All of these reasons call for a student center far beyond what we have now. Funding for the Student Center will only come in small part from the tuition increase. While tuition hikes are frustrating, students need to realize that less than 20 percent of the campus budget comes from tuition, and in-state tuition is largely subsidized by out-of-state students paying extra.
Most of the money for the Student Center will come from bonds and cash on hand. As an aside, the previous article decided to bring complaint against the extension of Mitch Barnhart’s contract, contrasting it with teacher salaries. Our athletics program is one of the most profitable in the country and is established as a separate entity. Salaries for the program come from athletics funds, not from university funds. Mitch is one of the first athletics directors to actually put a focus on programs other than football and basketball, all the while still making generous contributions to various campus needs. (If you have a scholarship, chances are quite high that at least part of it is from the athletics budget.) Finally, the letter addressed the confidentiality of a presidential search. To get the best possible candidates for the position, the university must recruit from other high-profile positions in university administrations. Without confidentiality, nobody with a successful career in his right mind would put his name into the running and risk his current job. Why ruin 100 applicants’ careers for one open position? Try to imagine a job application that required your current employer to know you were looking for a new position first, and you will quickly understand the value of confidentiality. I certainly don’t agree with everything the Board does — Do you guys really need your own elevator blocked off for your entire board meeting? — but demanding the Board “grow up” without understanding the intricacies of running a multimillion-dollar university smacks of hypocrisy.

CAVE Continued from page 1 Cave in Australia, one of the world’s largest cave systems. Palmer stood at the forefront of the cave diving scene for more than 30 years. He began his career diving in his native country, England, in the late 1970s. Schwabe, an earth and environmental sciences professor, said that although “Sanctum” was produced and written by Palmer’s expedition leader, Andrew Wight, it is not an accurate portrayal of the events that happened in 1988. “I personally was not involved in the making of that film,” Schwabe said. “Hollywood has taken the event and completely reworked it.” Although Schwabe said she did not want to reveal anything about “Sanctum,” she said she is disappointed with the film’s nonsensical view of cave diving. “It’s hard when you know what really happened,” Schwabe said. “And you look at the screen and go, ‘What?’” One of Schwabe’s biggest concerns with “Sanctum” is that one of the characters in the movie does not warrant cave diving a risky sport. “Here I am: I’m a person who has lost the love of my life and other friends in this process,” Schwabe said. “We’re not supposed to be in these places. I’ve thus far survived 25 years of cave diving … knock on wood. It is a big deal.” Schwabe has not seen all of “Sanctum,” but she said several scenes in the film provided viewers with misconceptions about the actual expedition.
“I think it should have been more accurate,” Schwabe said. Schwabe said that “Sanctum” was filmed in New Zealand rather than the Australian outback. The actual excavation site is a desert, she said. As one of the top 40 cave divers in the world, Schwabe said she is trying to give cave diving “the respect it deserves.” “I wish they would actually make ‘Sanctum’ real,” Schwabe said. “I think the whole story is really very good and now it’s lost.” Derek Eggers, a UK faculty member who has 15 years of experience in media production, said Hollywood has the right to portray the story as it chooses. “It’s not a documentary … it’s entertainment. They have the creative license to portray a true story as fiction in any way they want,” Eggers said, who also is the director of online education for the College of Arts and Sciences. Reece Walter, an agriculture sophomore and one of Schwabe’s students, stressed the dangers of cave diving. “The mortality rate for cave diving is about 100 percent if you keep doing it,” Walter said. As the president of the Blue Grass Grotto, a Lexington caving club, Walter said that cave diving is more risky than caving. “Sheck Exley, the guy who pioneered cave diving and wrote the rules about it, died trying to break a record for deepest dive,” Walter said. Walter said the most important thing is that the true story of the Palmer’s expedition will live on no matter how Hollywood portrays it. “Actual events are a lot more amazing than the movies,” Walter said. “The fact that they made it out is what’s interesting.”
EA Continued from page 1 you don’t have to be a language or international relations major to study abroad,” Jayme Satterwhite, a junior EA peer adviser said. There has also been more emphasis on financing an international education. The EA office now holds a monthly session specifically about financial aid and scholarships for programs overseas. “We’re really starting to align financial aid and scholarships,” Ogden said. “You can’t afford not to go.” There are still a few minor issues with the EA program that Ogden and his team of advisers are working

To address these problems, the EA office has been realigning its entire portfolio of programs. The portfolio is now divided into five types of programs, including UK sponsored, exchange, consortia, direct and partner. Education Abroad is also working on curriculum integration by creating advising sheets specific to every major at UK. These sheets will include international programs approved by faculty in each department so that students can start to integrate study
abroad into their curriculums. Advising sheets for German and business majors will be released soon, and others will be available over the next two years as they become complete. “If UK students don’t have international knowledge, experience and skills, they’re going to be left behind,” Ogden said. The EA office remains hopeful for the future of study abroad at UK and is excited to see how some of the major changes being implemented will affect the program in coming years. “We should be sending 1,200 students (overseas each year),” Ogden said. “If this momentum continues, we will get there in two years.”

New arena gaining supporters Former Cats great Walker supports new home for basketball By Cody Porter sports@kykernel.com
The emergence of the University of Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center has left not only UK fans thinking about a new basketball arena, but President Lee Todd and Athletic DiWalker rector Mitch Barnhart, too, as mentioned in a Feb. 20 Kernel article. At his contract extension announcement, Barnhart joked with the media that a new basketball arena would be next on his agenda. But Todd and Barnhart aren’t the only people with
connections to the UK basketball program searching for a proposal for a new arena. Two-time All-American Kenny “Sky” Walker and CatsPause founder Oscar Combs are among those who are also in favor of a new facility. Walker said it was something the Lexington community and UK needed. "There certainly would be nothing wrong with remodeling,” Walker said. “,,,Part of the thing that impresses recruits and energizes the fan base is having something you’re proud of.” Along with other unknowns surrounding a new basketball arena, one decision to be made is where to build; on or off UK's campus. “I actually would love to see an on-campus facility and get more of the students in-
volved," Walker said. "It would create a great atmosphere. But with that being said, I really do think (the city) should probably keep it downtown. Kentucky’s always had a great relationship with downtown Lexington.”
“Part of the thing that impresses recruits... is having something you’re proud of.”
KENNY WALKER
Former UK basketball player
Walker credited Rupp Arena with aiding hotels and restaurants located in downtown Lexington. He also praised the leader of the UK basketball team, head coach John Calipari. “I just hope that we can get it done," Walker said. "I
know there are a lot of ideas being kicked around, but I think you have the perfect coach in John Calipari that can get out in front of this thing and really do a lot in terms of promoting and selling whatever he’s got to do to get a new facility.” In October, Calipari first fielded a question about the possibility of a new arena. “I think they will do a new arena," he said. "I think within the next four to five years that will be reality mainly because of the pride and it is needed. You are talking 30-some years for Rupp.” Combs has been close to the situation since talks began in the fall. He said in order for a renovation to work it would require “at least 70 or more” corporate suites and the replacement of the bleachers in the upper level with chair-back seats, as is present in the lower arena. Some Cats fans believe Louisville's acquisition has
‘Jorts’ epitomizes coming of age on Senior Night MATT MURRAY Kernel columnist
Harrellson ended his season in Rupp the same way he started it, having fun and joking with teammates. As the final second ticked off the clock and UK had secured a 68-66 win in its final home game, Harrellson’s playfulness and emotion collided as he wiped away tears and danced with his teammates. The senior that had spent three years in the background of talented squads finally got his night in the spotlight as fans had giant pictures of his face, signs supporting him and painted chests spelling out the word “Jorts.” Every basket by Harrellson led to cheering that was exponentially louder than the cheers for teammates. But the loudest cheers came from Harrelson when he wasn’t on the court. Backup center Eloy Vargas made an aggressive play under the basket in the first half to put up a basket and Harrellson could be seen standing up,
yelling and pumping up the crowd, despite the fact his backup would finish the night with more fouls than points. But that’s the nature of Harrrellson — he never craved all the attention, yet over the course of his final season, it came to him anyway. “Josh fought like heck. What a great thing … Here’s a guy that played 35 minutes last season and now he’s playing 35 a game,” UK head coach John Calipari said. In the early stages of the season, it appeared UK’s weakness would be facing talented centers after a close road loss to University of North Carolina and center Tyler Zeller. But Harrellson refused to be the weak link on the team, and over time, he found a way to compete with anyone he shared the paint with. Tuesday night, his focus and passion reached a climax. “I just wanted to win my last game at Rupp and I was going to do anything it took to win,” Harrellson said. “If its getting a blocked shot, if its getting a loose ball, if its getting a rebound I’m going to do it because I wanted to

Fans at Rupp Arena show their support for Josh “Jorts” Harrellson as he was honored before the game on Senior Night, . go out with a bang.” Early in the game, Harrellson took it to the floor at the arc to drive to the basket and shook a defender before laying it in, giving the Cats a 6-4 lead causing the crowd to erupt for the first of many times Tuesday night. The crowd of 24,275 was one of the rowdiest Rupp had seen this season, thanks in large part to the charisma of the Cats lone senior. The win also secured Calipari’s second consecutive season without a loss in Rupp Arena, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since the 1950s. It’s the third longest home winning streak in the program’s history, and the second-longest active streak in the NCAA. With the postseason on the horizon, the Cats can also look forward to the emerging leadership and confidence of Brandon Knight. His teamhigh 17 points came during crucial stretches that helped the Cats fend of Vanderbilt runs, and his intensity fired
up teammates when things got tight. The win ties UK for second in the SEC East, a position necessary to secure a first-round bye in the SEC tournament. A gridlock with Vandy in the East means UK’s final opportunity to prove they can win on the road is a crucial one as they must do it against rival University of Tennessee. Vanderbilt hosts the No. 14 Florida Gators in their final SEC matchup. But Tuesday’s win was about Harrellson, and his block with 23 seconds to play to protect a one-point lead showed his senior experience in full-force as the team dug in its heels. He would then break up Vandy’s final chance to tie the game with one second left, and the emotion that followed showed that while he was the same person that had come to UK three years ago, he wasn’t the same player. He refused to be ignored.
JORTS Continued from page 1 “I just wanted to win my last game at Rupp,” said Harrellson, who scored eight points and had nine rebounds. “I was going to do anything that it took to win. I wanted to go out with a bang.” Jones and Brandon Knight, who led the team with 17 points, combined to hit seven of UK’s last eight free throws. Each hit two apiece within the final 30 seconds. Knight’s, with less than 10 seconds left, gave UK a three-point lead. Instead of taking a chance with Vanderbilt hitting a tying three, Calipari ordered an intentional foul that sent Brad Tinsley to the line for a oneand-one. “I just made the decision based on their team,” Calipari said. “I didn’t want them to get a look at a three. They’re too good a 3-shooting team.” Tinsley hit the first, and then intentionally missed the second, trying for a carom that would let Vanderbilt rebound the ball. “We were going to try to miss the free throw, and it almost ended up working out,” Stallings said. “He missed it long, and kind of to the middle. I was hoping more for a directional miss. We had an end around kind of, but we still ended up getting it. Not in a very good spot, but we ended up getting a look, anyway.” Jones flagged the ball down in the corner, but under duress, traveled, although it looked like it could have been a foul or called out of bounds. “I didn’t know what he was going to call,” Jones said. “I was waiting for something to happen, and he called a travel at the last second.”

Josh Harrellson battles under the basket for position for a rebound in UK’s victory over Vanderbilt at Rupp Arena. Harrellson finished with four points against the Commodores.
helped UK pressure city officials to move forward with their plans. “No question that the KFC (Yum! Center) has given Cal an edge in getting people more involved in demanding it,” Combs said. He said following UK's 1996 National Championship former head coach Rick Pitino made it his prerogative to travel statewide and attempt to obtain necessary funds to get a new basketball arena,
but the powers at be during that time believed it would hamper academic funding. Combs said the decision and details of a new arena will need to be worked out as soon as possible. “A decision on what they’re going to have to do one way or another is going to have to be made in the next 12 months, whether they are going to renovate Rupp, build on campus, or build one across from Rupp.”
