Jim Jones, lead singer of My Morning Jacket, performed at Memorial Coliseum on Sunday. Jones got his start at UK, writing songs in Holmes Hall and performing around the campus.
Ben Sollee opened for My Morning Jacket at Memorial Coliseum on Sunday as part of the UK Spring Concert.
The boys are back in town — sort of. The Student Activites Board brought Kentuckians My Morning Jacket and Ben Sollee to Memorial Coliseum for its Spring Concert on Sunday. It was a change of pace from the past couple of concerts, which featured Top 40 artists. The main difference, though, was explosive guitar riffs in lieu of pounding bass; the fans still went wild for indie rock. See full story online --Becca Clemons
Relay for Life raises $19K, despite rain By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
Fun was still had by many at Relay for Life, even with the cold and rain of Saturday night. Student organizations gathered at the Pieratt Student Recreation Field for UK’s Relay for Life walk, benefiting the American Cancer Society. Economics and finance sophomore Brad Harris, who is co-chair for the event, said that even with the rain, this was one of the largest turnouts for the UK Relay event. “(The rain) did get a lot of people to leave during the event, but initially we had large numbers,” Harris said. The rain also affected some plans, not allowing the coordinators to do as many events for the participants to keep them going. “The weather’s been a big deal,” Harris said. “We weren’t planning on any rain
— the weather forecast was sunny. But with rain, it’s put a little damper on everything. We’ve had a great turnout regardless; we just can’t have as many games as we were going to.” Because of the unexpected weather, organizers kept morale up through small events, like a superhero pageant and music, as well as personally thanking everyone for attending. “We’ve been going from tent to tent, just thanking everybody for being here,” Harris said. “We’ve just been giving them motivation.” What kept English and international studies sophomore Natalie Pitman walking through the rain, wind and cold was a story that started out the event, given by an organizer. “At the beginning of this, the chair got up and he told a story and said he was talking about people who’ve been through chemo(therapy) and

how weak they are when they get done,” Pitman said. “You know, just coming out here and walking for one night is not that big of a deal compared to people who have to go through chemo.” Pitman, the Alpha Omicron Pi philanthropy chair, has wanted to get involved with this event for a while and help out the cause. “They do (Relay) back where I’m from, and I’ve always wanted to get involved in it,” Pitman said. Harris said fundraising occurs both online and through personal collection of money, and that Relay was hoping for a large total, based on the large crowd in attendance. “This year, online, we’ve raised about $13,000,” Harris said. “We’re hoping (the total is) around $15,000.” According to its website Sunday morning, 39 teams had 393 participants and raised a total of $19,230.36.

A line was already forming outside when the employees of CD Central arrived to work at 9 a.m. Saturday. By the time the store opened for business at 10 a.m., a line of about 50 people extended down South Limestone. This was not an ordinary Saturday. The store took part in a nationwide event known as Record Store Day, which started four years ago. Crowds filled the store, browsing through vinyl and listening to live bands from the Lexington area. For some people, it was their first Record Store Day experience. Cristina Brody, an entomology graduate student, had never been before and viewed it as an incentive to get her turntable hooked up. “It’s fun to just look
around, there is a lot to see here,” Brody said. While Brody inherited vinyl records from her father, the Radiohead album she purchased on Saturday was the first vinyl she had ever bought herself. It was also the first Record Store Day that Caitlin Reed, an art senior, had come to, but she is a frequent visitor of CD Central. “I try to buy local,” Reed said. “I love this place. They have a lot more stuff than anyone else.” Reed was part of the line of people that came to meet My Morning Jacket, a band native to Louisville, Ky. “I love that they are local and have gotten big,” she said. “They are a great live See RECORD on page 2

Todd, students to speak at graduation ceremonies By Jarrod Thacker news@kykernel.com
As the spring semester draws to an end, many UK students can look forward to the culmination of their academic careers. The 144th Commencement ceremonies will be held May 8 at Rupp Arena, celebrating the graduation of UK students with the conferring of their hard-earned degrees. According to John Herbst, director of the Student Center and chairman of the Commencement Committee, three individual ceremonies will be held to balance the number of students that will be attending each event. There will be two undergraduate functions, which are divided by different colleges, and a separate event for graduates and professionals. Those attending this year’s graduation can expect a different format in comparison to previous events. Students participating in commencement will be individually recognized as they walk across the stage, with their names and majors addressed on a screen. This new process is thought by the committee, which serves as an advisory capacity to the president, to add length to the ceremony. This raises questions regarding the avail-
ability of time to allow high-profile keynote speakers for the event. UK President Lee Todd will be the principle speaker for this year’s ceremonies, said Herbst, who explains that it is traditional for a university president to deliver a speech during inaugural and exiting years, but expresses doubt that future ceremonies will warrant an address from anyone other than the UK president. “At this point in time I think the feeling of the committee is that we may not continue (to obtain external speakers),” Herbst said. In previous years, UK has obtained keynote speakers candidates who have had some relation to the state of Kentucky, have been a national figure or have attended the university. They were suggested by the Commencement Committee and submitted to the provost and president for review. Notably, Beverly Kirk, a former news anchor for NewsChannel 8 in Washington, D.C., and UK alumna, delivered the keynote address for the graduating class of 2008. Herbst also said this decision is a more appropriate use of university money. While UK in the past would only pay for the speaker’s expenses, many other similar institutions pay a much higher price.

The store has participated in Record Store Day every year since it began. “Last year was our biggest ever,” Baron said. “This year surpassed that.” As of late Saturday after-
speak at the first undergraduate ceremony and political science and international studies major James Chapman will speak at the following undergraduate ceremony. “I think very highly (of the student speakers) … they represent the entire class of 2011, where they will share their thoughts, memories and aspirations to fans, friends and supporters that the students have had over their tenure as a student at UK,” Herbst said. Those interested in participating must register online at http://www.uky.edu/Commencement as soon as possible. Tickets are not required for admission.
noon Baron estimated that roughly 500 people had visited the store that day. “It’s just a really cool thing because you hear so much negative stuff about record stores,” Baron said. “It’s true that a lot of record stores have gone out of business and that business isn’t what it used to be, but it still really fills a niche in the community.

Zeta-Jones remains AWOL LOS ANGELES — As Catherine Zeta-Jones takes a break from public life to cope with bipolar disorder, she remains absent from another place she once frequently appeared: movie theaters. That’s not, however, a function of her not working. It’s a function of her last movie getting stuck in release limbo. The Oscar-winner’s most recent film is “The Rebound,” an inter-generational romance in which she plays a single New York mother who falls for a younger man played by “The Hangover’s” Justin Bartha (in real life Jones and Bartha are about 10 years apart). In addition to starring two likable actors, the movie has another selling point: It taps into a cougar boomlet that’s hitting the big screen. But try to find it in a theater, on Netflix or on VOD, and you’ll

come up empty. Directed by Bart Freundlich, “The Rebound” was shot three years ago by independent production company The Film Department. But it has languished outside the reach of audiences without a distributor. There have been numerous buyer screenings of the film since it was completed, but no deal has materialized. Two distribution executives who spoke on condition of anonymity have said that the asking price has been too high given the quality of the film. But Mark Gill, who founded The Film Department, said there have been opportunities to sell the movie to a distributor but that he and his company have held it back in hopes of making it a part of his company’s inaugural distribution slate. Financing plans for that operation are coming together, he
said, with the goal of releasing “The Rebound” in September or October, ahead of the crowded holiday season. Even if the movie makes that release date, it will still mark a four-year dry spell for Zeta-Jones. The actress last appeared on the American screen in 2007, when she starred opposite Aaron Eckhart in the romantic comedy “No Reservations.” She is slated to play a vixen newscaster in Gerard Butler’s soccer dramedy “Playing the Field,” which is currently in production in Louisiana, and star opposite Justin Timberlake and Bruce Willis in the gambling comedy “Lay the Favorite.” Her representatives have said her treatment in a mental-health facility won’t affect her shooting schedule.

Tips for how to become Tennis: the hungrier, the better a successful sportswriter You could have had class, you could have been a contender, you could have been somebody ... but instead, you’re an unknown sportswriter. I know this from experience, because I’m an unknown sportswriter myself. I’ve always wanted to be a sportswriter. Sports have been a part of my life for as long as I have been alive, and I’m hopeful that I can use this familiarity to become more than just a face in the crowd. I totally understand how you’d feel about your lack of success. Now, can this anonymity be remedied? Of course it can! It will take hard work, determination and perseverance on your part, but if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can be a successful sportswriter. BRANDON So, how do you go about being successful at such a STEPHENS task? Well, I asked the writers themselves for helpful hints on Guest how to be good at sportswriting. Three tips could be especolumnist cially helpful for all of us aspiring sports journalists: be involved, be observant, and be ready for anything. First, you must get your name out there for the world to see. “Experience is the best asset,” says David Schuh, softball writer for the Kernel. “Think about it; if two sports journalism students graduate, and one has a 3.9 GPA and no writing but the other has a 3.4 GPA with really good, published work, who will the employer prefer? They’ll want the student who has experience and is proven in the field. The more you’re involved, the better off you are.” Second, you must be observant beyond simply watching the game and you must look for more significance within the games. Aaron Smith, managing editor and Kentucky Wildcat basketball beat writer for the Kernel, says that you need to look for “the significance of a particular statistic or a particular shot,” but he is quick to note that this is not an easy task. “It takes a lot of work and insight to try to get fans a deeper level of understanding, which is what they want,” Smith said. Finally, you must take any opportunity that you can get as an aspiring sportswriter. Ethan Levine will be the full-time head sports editor of the Kentucky Kernel next year, but it took hard work and a lot of smaller jobs to get to that point. “When I began at the Kernel, I was asked to write on men’s tennis,” Levine says. “And I won’t lie, it really sucked.” But Levine worked with enthusiasm on his task and found himself moving up into the bigger sports before taking on baseball this spring. Now, he’s looking at becoming the head sports editor and football beat writer of the Kernel. “Take any opportunity, no matter how small, to show what you can do and to get yourself into the sportswriting field,” Levine says. Brandon Stephens is a journalism sophomore. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

This is the schedule of 18year-old American professional tennis player Ryan Harrison. Dubbed as America’s future of Guest tennis, Harrison is currently columnist ranked No. 128 on the Association of Tennis Professionals Tour, making him the highest-ranked 18-year-old in the world. To the outsider, the life of a professional tennis player may seem like a dream. You are always in the warmest and exotic of places. Tournaments are played from New York to Paris and from Melbourne, Australia, to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. After matches, people are falling over trying to catch your sweaty wristband or get your scribbled autograph. Male fans think you’re beautiful; female fans think you’re irresistible. On top of that, some of them become models, like Maria Sharapova, or marry them, like Andy Roddick did, while others achieve godlike status around the world, like Roger Federer. I don’t know about you, but I would kill for a life like that. So why doesn’t everyone become a professional tennis player? Something tells me the answer has to do with that not-so-glamorous daily schedule Harrison provided me with. “It took a lot of hard work and dedication from a young age, along with talent, a drive and

hunger,” he said. Even with his achievements to date, Harrison is not yet satisfied with his career and has a long way to go. “I want to be No. 1 in the world. I want to win Grand Slams, and I want to lead the U.S. team to a Davis Cup win,” he said. Yes, that sounds like hunger to me. Sophomore UK tennis player Jessica Stiles grew up playing tennis with dreams of becoming a professional. “I didn’t think about playing college tennis,” she said about playing while growing up. At age 13, her family moved from New Jersey to Florida for six months for her to train and pursue her career. By 17, she realized that NCAA Division I tennis was in her cards. Turning pro for teens is risky because as soon as they accept money from tournaments, they lose their eligibility for a college athletic scholarship. In Stiles’ opinion, “You need to be able to make sacrifices. It takes a really strong person who’s OK with being alone, with no one there for them and OK with being in different cultures. Not everyone can do it.” With that mindset, Stiles has not given up on her childhood dreams and plans to play professional tennis as soon as she graduates from UK. Although Harrison and Stiles play on different levels, they gave me similar answers on what they thought it takes to become a top professional tennis player. From what I gather, behind the glamour and fame that we see of a tennis player’s lifestyle, there is a lot of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and a constant inexplicable hunger behind every minute of their lives. It takes someone special to do the job and, ultimately, success in this profession comes from within a person. Khristina Blajkevitch is a communications freshman. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

Brilliant Speed wins Derby spot By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
On the second weekend of Keeneland Race Course’s 75th season, 12 horses entered the gates in the 87th running of the Blue Grass Stakes Saturday afternoon with a spot in the Kentucky Derby on the line. After the full 1 and 1/8
mile race, Brilliant Speed came from the fifth lane to win at 6-1 odds by a nose over Twinspired. In what ended up being the most exciting race of the afternoon, many felt that Santiva, who went off at 3-1 odds, would be the favorite to win the Stakes, with Crimson China as a dark horse in lane 11. But as the horses rounded

the final turn and headed for home it was Brilliant Speed and Twinspired out in front exchanging first place back and forth with each stride they took. After the race, Keeneland officials had to go back to the tape to see crossed the finish line first. Upon further review it was Brilliant Speed, who reached across the finish winning by less than a nose to earn a spot in the Kentucky Derby, which will be held in three weeks in Louisville, Ky. “It is an unbelievable feeling for me,” said Joel Rosario, the jockey who rode Brilliant Speed to victory. “I have to say thank you to all the people who came here to the race — the owners, the trainers — to give me their support.” When asked for his thoughts on Rosario’s riding in the race, trainer Thomas Albetrani had nothing but good things to say. “I couldn’t fault any part of it,” Albetrani said. “He split horses up. That fourth
Softball wins with walk-off By David Schuh sports@kykernel.com
On a cold, rainy day at the UK Softball Complex, the softball team overcame a resilient Tennessee Tech team to win both games of Saturday afternoon’s doubleheader. The Cats took the first game 9-0 in 5 innings on the strength of a balanced offensive attack. Kara Dill and Brittany Cervantes led UK with a two-run homer and a three-run double, respectively. Tennessee Tech (16-21) raced out to a 3-1 lead in the second game. UK pitcher Chanda Bell entered the game in the third inning and silenced the Golden Eagles’ offense, giving up one earned run and striking out 16 in seven and two-thirds innings.
“Chanda did an awesome job for us,” UK head coach Rachel Lawson said. “She got hurt earlier in the week, so we didn’t really know how well she was going to be able to pitch. But, she kept us in the game long enough that we could make something happen.” Rachel Riley homered in the fourth inning to cut the lead to 3-2, followed by a Brittany Cervantes RBI single in the sixth that tied the game. The offenses then sputtered for several innings behind the pitching of Bell and Eagles starter Holly Thomas. Thomas stifled UK hitters, giving up two earned runs in eight innings. She was then pulled and the Cats’ hitters took advantage. After they stranded two runners in the ninth and another score-
less half-inning from Bell, first baseman Samantha DeMartine stepped to the plate to lead off the bottom of the tenth. Previously 0-4 in the game, DeMartine was just looking for a way to get on base. But, she did much more, crushing a 2-2 pitch over the center field fence for a game-ending home run. “It was just seeing a pitch and hitting it,” DeMartine said. “If you do something bad, you just have to process it and let it go. I was just trying to get a hit and luckily it went over the fence.” The Cats (31-10, 11-6 SEC) extended their non-conference record to 20-4. They return to action Tuesday afternoon at home against Eastern Kentucky University. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.
pole, he split his way right through traffic and angled him out perfectly so he could run.” However, Brilliant Speed was not the horse Albetrani expected to win the race. King Congie, another horse trained by Albetrani, ran out of gate two at 5-1 odds as one of the favorites to win the race. But Brilliant Speed stunned the field, and gave Albetrani and owner Charlotte C. Weber an unexpected spot in the Derby in three weeks. “When I asked my cousin what she would like to say, she said, ‘I can’t say anything right now, I’m speechless,’ which is very unusual for her,” said George Strawbridge, first cousin of Weber. “However, given a 30-second break, she was very grateful for her trainer for not beating us with this other horse (King Congie). And she said in a rather light-hearted moment, ‘Oh my goodness, I might be going to the Derby after all.’”
