UK parent’s baseball film on ‘Showtime’
Like daughter, like mother: Duo set to graduate together By Ali O’Connor
By Joy Priest jpriest@kykernel.com
“Chasing 3,000,” a film UK parent and writer Bill Mikita thinks is sure to rival “The Sandlot” for a place in baseball fan’s hearts, premieres this Sunday on Showtime. The movie, which is set in 1972, is based on Mikita and his brother Steve. They take off on a cross-country journey to see their hero Roberto Clemente capture his 3,000th major league hit. Mikita, who grew up in Steubenville, Ohio, 39 miles west of Pittsburgh, was the screenplay writer for “Chasing 3,000” and later added his name to the film credits as producer. “It’s an odyssey where two brothers find out what it means to be brothers,” Mikita said. “It’s a feel good story. It’s a story about growing up.” Mikita’s daughter Maddy Mikita, an integrated strategic communications senior, attended the premiere in Los Angeles. Maddy said the movie stresses a family element that See MOVIE on page 6

Tonya and Jackie Jones have a special Mother’s Day planned on Sunday, May 8: the mother and daughter will each receive their bachelor’s degree at UK’s graduation. After sharing the same major, textbooks and notes, Tonya Jones and her daughter Jackie Jones will also share an exciting moment Sunday when they graduate together. The mother and daughter have pursued their education at different speeds, but were able to cross paths along the way. “Hers was a logical progression. Mine, not so much,” Tonya Jones said. Tonya Jones took a year off after high school before starting her education again, which included classes at community colleges in Arizona and Texas. Jackie Jones graduated from Paul Lau-
index
rence Dunbar High School in Lexington, and attended Bluegrass Community and Technical College first before making the move to UK. Going back to school for Tonya Jones was taking care of unfinished business. “It became more of a personal thing to finish, but I feel it will open doors for me and give me opportunities that I don’t feel like I would have had if I hadn’t finish(ed),” Tonya Jones said. The pair are both history majors and took four classes together during their time at UK. “It really increased the amount of knowledge you can gain because you can study with each other,” Jackie Jones said. “One of us could say, ‘hey I have a question about this,’ and most likely the other one can answer.”

Narcissism growing in youth By Amelia Orwick news@kykernel.com
A recent study by UK psychology professor Nathan DeWall suggests that young people today have developed more narcissistic tendencies than generations before. According to an article in the New York Times, DeWall and other psychologists reached this conclusion after the results from a computer analysis of hit song lyrics reported an increase in words like “I” and “me” over the last three decades. The study also showed a noSee YOUTH on page 2

I’m sure she has been a bigger help to me than I have to her,” she said. However, Jackie Jones said she disagreed. “I wouldn’t say that,” Jackie Jones said. “If one of us isn’t there, the other one is. Together we have never missed a class.” The two said their history professor, Kathi Kern, has been delighted to have the two of them in class with her. “This whole thing is just amazing to (Kern).

They said a competition in their history class sparked a healthy rivalry between the two. “We had a reactionary paper in Dr. (Tracy) Campbell’s class, and I made a better grade and she was mad for a day,” Tonya Jones said. “But we both made an A in the class, so that worked out OK.” Despite the competition, the two said they remained supportive. “I’m very proud of her, as busy as she has been the last two years,” Jackie Jones said. Family support has been a key element to their success.
“My husband, and her father, he’s incredible,” Tonya Jones said. “He has put up with a lot the last two years.” Jackie Jones also said family support has been important. “The fact that she and my dad have pushed me to continue my education and go on to get my master’s degree, I don’t know if I could have done it without their support,” Jackie Jones. The two have family visiting from out of town who will watch them graduate together and celebrate their academic achievements. “Jackie and I are by no means self-centered, but Saturday and Sunday are all about us,” Tonya Jones said. Many people ask Jackie Jones how she likes going to school with her mother. She smiled and said, “She’s my best friend. I share everything with my mom.”

Top director looks to change By Colin Covert McClatchy
Blockbuster comedy director Tom Shadyac ("Ace Ventura, Pet Detective," "Liar, Liar" "The Nutty Professor") was on top of the world in 2007. And down in the dumps. His extravagant lifestyle wasn't making him happy, and he pondered scaling back to find a new balance in his life. That decision was fasttracked after a mountain bike crack-up. Sidelined from the rat race during months of painful isolation, he realized the trappings of wealth were genuine traps. Healed, he grabbed his camera and set up interviews with scientists, spiritual leaders and progressive social critics. He asked two questions: What's wrong with our world, and what can we do about it? The answers are distilled in "I Am," a documentary spin through philosophy, philanthropy and quantum physics. Its buoyant message is that global ills can be tamed by the same principles that ended segregation in the United States and defeated apartheid in South Africa.
Horoscope 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 an 8 — Money's coming in right now, but don't let that lead you to spend frivolously. Put it in the bank for later, and the ease of mind provides more than a new toy. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — You're even more powerful than usual, and luckier. A hunch could be quite profitable. Use this confident strength to inspire others. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 — You may have more than you need. Contribute extra stuff to a thrift store or Freecycle it. For the next few days, allow for contemplation. Inspiration arises. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8 — Accept generous payment for your work. Explore your neighborhood as if seeing it anew. Participate in community for something you care about, and your
Shadyac's fast-paced presentation argues that individual action on a mass scale can change the world. You can't solve world hunger, but you can help the next hungry person you meet, and so on. When enough people make a personal choice to do good, the world improves. Shadyac overreaches in trying to make the virtues of empathy and cooperation the outcome of universal law. The film invokes genetic research, experiments in parapsychology and quantum mechanics as nature's blueprint for human harmony. This is risky reasoning, since just as many examples of indifference, discord and savagery can be found in the natural world. We shouldn't take those as instructions to murder one another. "I Am" is strongest when it notes that living things that take just what they need tend to thrive, while gluttony has dire consequences. For his part, Shadyac sold off his string of mansions and now lives happily in a trailer park. It's a very nice Malibu trailer park, but still. His film is a jolt of uplift and optimism at a time when those are in short supply.
team follows. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — What you handled yesterday laid the groundwork for abundance to flow in today. Keep an eye on the budget and stay in action, but you could spend more now. Fix something that's been bugging you. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — You're lucky; abundance can be yours. Share the wealth and it will come back tenfold. Water figures in this scenario. Listen to an older person. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Write down your thoughts, even if they don't make any sense, to make space for the new. You may discover that your skills are worth more than what you thought. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — Consider working with other people now, especially those that appreciate what you're up to. Infuse meetings with imagination. Be decisive now. Complete negotiations. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —
Today is a 7 — Get out in the world and relax, somewhere away from screens and paperwork. Find a rope swing and a pool, or a garden in bloom, or a great bike ride with friends. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Leave your money where it is. Time to focus on your social life and playing. Children encourage you to experience moments right now like new. Remember? Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Your imagination helps you solve new challenges. Take good care of your home and your family for the next two days. Express yourself creatively. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — A solution to an old problem is becoming obvious. Get ready for another great learning experience. Don't reveal your entire agenda immediately. A little mystery entices. MCT
ty is thought to be so vain. “I think that over the years, people have just become more able to take care of themselves,” Cory Murphy, a mining engineering freshman, said. “A long time ago it was hard for kids to do anything by themselves but with the technology today, people have developed a more ‘independent’ attitude.”
Other students, like freshmen psychology major Ellen Wall, believe that young people are more aware today than ever. “I think our generation is more selfish than ones in the past in some senses, but I also think we are a lot more aware of the rest of the world now,” Wall said. Wall pointed to the recent
natural disasters and the aid provided by young people to prove her point. “When there was the tsunami in Japan we were very concerned about it, where as in the past I think many would have just ignored it,” Wall said. “We can be selfish, but overall I think our world is working more to help others.”

from the front page: According to a court decision handed down last summer, cheerleading is still not considered a sport. But the intensity and dedication that surrounds each cheerleading practice is commensurate with the program’s tradition — UK cheerleaders practice for two-and-a-half hours a day, four times a week. “Competitive cheer may, some time in the future, qualify as a sport under Title IX,” wrote Judge Stefan R. Underhill of the United States District Court in his decision in July 2010. “Today, however, the activity is still too underdeveloped and disorganized to be treated as offering genuine varsity athletic participation opportunities for students.” Thompson disagrees. He said that because the cheerleading team participates regularly in competitions that require a high degree of athleticism, it can be considered a sport. The controversy comes when you include what the cheerleading team does on the sidelines of games. Thompson doesn’t consider that aspect of what they do a sport. “I think (cheerleading) is definitely a sport,” said Maurice Grant, a history senior and a member of the cheerleading team. He also played football and ran track in high school. “You work just as hard as anyone else. Technically, the rules of the sport are having competition and having rules.” As Underhill referenced, though, cheerleading is still disorganized. There are plenty of governing bodies that regulate cheerleading and hold competitions, but because there are so many, it can lead to a significant amount of confusion. UK has won 18 national cheerleading championships by the Universal Cheerleaders Association since 1985, but that’s just one of the myriad governing bodies. The Cheerleaders of America is another. USA Cheer is leading the charge to qualify cheerleading for “emerging sport” status in the NCAA, and holds its own championship. Meanwhile, the National Collegiate Acrobatics and Tumbling Association has six member schools, including Maryland and Oregon, that compete against each other in head-to-head competitions. These teams are held to standards similar to those that an NCAA team would be held to, including GPA standards and recruiting regulations. The NCATA also crowns its own national champion, separate from USA Cheer, and considers gaining NCAA sanctioning for cheerleading one of its primary goals. For their part, Thompson and the UK athletic department don’t feel like they need to be taking a major role in advancing cheerleading as a

He said UK wouldn’t try and lead a movement to gain NCAA support for cheerleading. But change could be coming soon anyway. USA Cheer plans to present its championship to the NCAA in June for consideration as an “emerging sport.” Emerging sports are defined by the NCAA as “an institutional activity involving physical exertion with the purpose of competition versus other teams or individuals within a collegiate

competition structure.” To gain the status as an emerging sport, the NCAA must receive at least 10 letters from universities in which their presidents and athletic directors support the activity as an emerging sport. But until cheerleading gains NCAA sanctioning, Thompson and his team don’t feel like they need to validate cheerleading as a sport to anyone. Dietetics senior and cheerleading team member Ashley Phillips said she understands why some people don’t consider cheerleading a sport, but her passion for cheerleading leads her to think differently. “In my mind, you think of a sport and you think of an athlete and you think of an athlete who’s purely dedicated to what they do,” she said. “And I am. I come in here and I train, and I dedicate myself and my time to this. I spend so much of my time doing this and I love it. I might think in my mind I’m going to do ‘my sport,’ but if you write down the rules, I wouldn’t classify it as a sport.” Thompson said he believes that the competition aspect of cheerleading will likely be considered a sport within the next five to 10 years. One of the major obstacles, he said, is the stigma that surrounds the name ‘cheerleading.’ He thinks a new name might be necessary for it to be recognized as a sport. “If you call the competitive part cheerleading, it’s not, because they’re not leading anybody,” he said.
“They’re doing a series of stunts, tumbling, baskets, those sorts of things. Cheerleading is what we do on the sideline.” If the NCAA does sanction cheerleading, it would mean major changes for Thompson and his team. There would be limits on practice time and regulations surrounding recruiting. Now, Thompson is free to communicate with recruits on Facebook as he pleases, and doesn’t have to worry about scheduling official visits.

Summer gaming forecast: uneventful PSN hacked; Xbox 360 stale; Wii behind ZACH WALTON Kernel columnist
As the end of the semester approaches, I find it relevant to bid a fond farewell to the readers of this humble gaming column. There have been rumors and news, reviews and previews. All these things led to my first year of doing something like this, and I greatly enjoyed myself. I only hope that you, the readers, enjoyed reading it as well. As we go into a summer that is uncertain, I wish to give a few insights into what
summer is going to be like for gamers. First and foremost, we have the PlayStation Network being hacked and making national headlines. All of the personal data of those on the PlayStation Network has been compromised. The fate of users’ credit card data is still up in the air. What does this mean for your summer as a PS3 gamer? Get used to a more secure PSN. Think scaleddown versions of what PC gamers have to go through with DRM and copy protection. If your credit card data is stolen, I’m sure you can write those fraudulent charges for a swimming pool and a jumbo jet off on your
taxes as charity to criminals. While Xbox 360 gamers can laugh to their heart’s content at the problems plaguing their PS3 playing brethren, they are off just as bad. Think of the release schedule for the 360. There’s nary a drop of new game content hitting this summer. You better get the most out of that “Gears of War 3” beta 360 gamers. If you didn’t pre-order “Gears of War 3” to get your beta voucher or obtained it some other way, have fun playing “Call of Duty: Warfare Ops of Modernity” for the 300th time. For Nintendo gamers, they got it pretty good. This year’s E3 in June is going to display some hot new software that the Wii has
UK bands battle for title By Rachel Sarnovsky features@kykernel.com
Eight bands will be rocking and jamming on Friday as they compete for the title of best band on campus. The Student Activities Board is putting on UK’s Battle of the Bands competition. “We wanted to participate in this event to get our name out,” Drew Charron, the drummer in the band Intersecting Horizons, said. “We've been trying to establish a fan base in Lexington for about four years now.” The four-member band is comprised of Michael Tyree, guitar and lead vocals; J.T. Butcher, bass; Jimmy Hawkins, keyboards and piano; and Charron, who sings backup vocals and drums. “All we expect is that people are going to really dig
our sound,” Charron said. “We are premiering a new song Friday that we just wrote and it's pretty killer. Hopefully people will realize that we have an awesome sound and know how to put on a good show.” Intersecting Horizons, who

has one win under its belt after playing in two other Battle of the Bands competitions, will be the last band to perform. “There will be other bands like Fleece, Soul Funkin' Dangerous, Patterns
and others,” Charron said. “The winner gets $1,000 in new music equipment.” Intersecting Horizons wishes to make a career out of music and plans on moving to Nashville after the band members have completed school. Soul Funkin’ Dangerous will be the second band to perform. “We want to win,” Donald Mason, the lead vocalist of the band, said. “But the realistic expectation is that all the bands are going to be really good. We’re just fortunate to be able to play for an audience that we might not necessarily get to play for normally.” The five-member band is performing for the first time in Battle of the Bands. “It’s really to play and get exposure and to try to gain fans,” Mason said. “Just to say we were able to participate in a UK Battle of the Bands.”

fans in a fix as they have to tell themselves their system is still relevant, while counting the days to the release of Project Café sometime after April 2012. Of course PC gamers are just fine this summer.
There’s always that one catch though. PC gamers would be saving their money for that one awesome game this summer, but then a Steam sale comes. If it’s anything like last summer’s sale, PC gamers are going to take that
$60 they were saving for one game and buy literally hundreds of games. Sales are good because they save you money. Steam sales are bad because you spend all your money. So really, this summer is looking pretty bleak. I even depressed myself while writing this. For those who want to actually have some fun over summer, why not just play the only games that will never disappoint. Mobile and Facebook games are calling you. Angry Birds will never betray you and FrontierVille will never sell your personal data to marketing companies. Enjoy your summer and keep on gaming. I’m sure there’s something out there to play.

Frazer’s farewell: Goodbyes are never easy, often cheesy I’m never good at long goodbyes. Any attempts on my part end up sounding sappy and cliché. Factor in, too, that my preferred mode of communication is written. SHANNON Saying FRAZER farewell to Kernel someone columnist over email or in a Facebook message doesn’t exactly have the emotional closure you’d most likely expect or desire. This puts me in a predicament as to how to address this very topic in my last column in the Kentucky Kernel. I don’t have frilly cards to handwrite to every single one of the more than 28,000
UK students. And my email account is migrating in a few days (ironic, considering I graduate in about a week), so creating a listserv for this sole purpose seems a bit excessive. Surmise to say that a column seems the most practical way to accomplish this. President Lee Todd has it easy. He has the opportunity to address hordes of people at this year’s graduation ceremony, or for that matter, any time that he deems a formal campus-wide meeting is necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll miss him and Patsy Todd just the same as anyone who has had the great privilege to attend UK during his administration. As a fifth-year senior, I’ve been at UK for exactly half of his tenure as president. I’m just saying that he’s
been around long enough that whatever his post-presidential plans may be, the adjustment won’t be too strenuous because practically everyone in the state of Kentucky, and elsewhere, knows him. I, on the other hand, am about to descend into uncharted territory. No more homework, no more staying late at the Kernel as we push deadline yet again. I’m about to leave all that familiarity behind. And that’s probably why goodbye is best left unsaid. Poet Robert Frost once said, “Ends and beginnings – there are no such things. There are only middles.” He’s right. This isn’t goodbye, nor is this the end. It’s just the middle. Gosh, that sounded cliché, didn’t it? Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. Email sfrazer@kykernel.com.

MOVIE Continued from page 1 isn’t very prevalent in films today. “It’s a good baseball movie, for people who have a love for baseball,” Maddy said. “It has a great family tie to it... an emotional connection. People love to hear about baseball and heroes, and things like that.” Roberto Clemente was the connection for Mikita and his younger brother Steve, who suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy called spinal muscular atrophy. During their childhood, he was confined to a wheelchair. “We grew up very close and shared this love of sports and Roberto Clemente, our hero, who was a great player for Pittsburgh Pirates,” Mikita said. “Not only was he a great player he was a great individual; a humanitarian who helped other people.” Maddy said the film uses actual footage of Roberto Clemente in major league games, and will give fans a sense of nostalgia. Mikita said he started to write screenplays after a tragedy struck his family.
“I was an attorney by education and by practice when my mother died, rather suddenly, of a brain tumor,” Mikita said. “I thought, ‘What if half of my life is over? What do I want to do?’” He had five or six screenplays when he began to make trips to Los Angeles and build contacts. “Around 1999 I wrote ‘Chasing 3000.’ I had a writing partner at the time, Cris D’Annunzio,” Mikita said. “We started to pitch the story and over a period of quite a few years people expressed interest in it, but no one purchased it. Mikita said he woke up one morning and decided he was going to raise the money on his own. He began to talk to people who could invest in the movie, like Mark Motley. Motley, a UK grad and Lexington native, who had an equity investment firm, Foster & Motley, Inc. in Cinncinati at the time, liked the script and the screenplay. “He was a point person to help pull investors together,” Mikita said. “I was able to raise the money through Foster & Motley and family members.” Mikita said the movie really took off when he and his team were able to get Ray Liotta. Liotta plays the adult version
of Mickey, the character based on Mikita. “We got a really great cast,” he said. “The young actors who play my brother and me in the movie did a great job.” The characters based on Mikita and his brother Steve are played by Trevor Morgan and Rory Culkin, the younger brother of Macaulay Culkin, respectively. Other headliners of the movie include Lauren Holly, Emmett Walsh and Michael O’Keefe. “Largely we shot the movie in Pittsburgh for about four days, and then the rest of the movie we shot in Southern California around the L.A. area,” Mikita said. “Maddy made numerous trips to L.A with me. She was on the set for a week when we shot in L.A. Maddy remembered being on the movie set at the age of 17. 'I had never been on a movie set before so it was surreal,' she said. “Chasing 3,000” was released last year and premiered in 10 cities. The movie is now available at Blockbuster, Netflix and Amazon. On May 1, “Chasing 3,000” will appear on Showtime, and run throughout the whole month.
