Right-handed pitcher Chandler Shepherd throws a pitch to a Xavier batter at Cliff Hagan Stadium in Lexington on Wednesday.
Catcher and the tri Cats beat Xavier 9-2, catcher Luke Maile had 3 runs In his first start of the season, freshman pitcher Chandler Shepherd started against Xavier University Wednesday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium after being on a two-hour rain delay. The Cats won 9-2 with junior catcher Luke Maile leading the team. Maile went 3-3 with a walk and a career-high three runs scored, also getting his third homerun of the season. Also, senior Thomas McCarthy hit his second homerun of the season. Shepherd got the win after pitching five shutout innings; he was relieved by freshman left-hander Sam Maher in the sixth inning. Shepherd allowed two hits and one walk, striking out five batters. UK got hits from freshman Austin Cousino, who was batting .421. Cousino earned three RBI’s and got two hits, and fellow freshman Thomas Bernal batted .500 with one run, two hits and one RBI. Alongside them were Brian Adams, J.T. Riddle, Paul McConkey and Matt Reida each reaching record hits. See BASEBALL on page 2

Students have the opportunity to hear Sen. Rand Paul speak about his past year as a U.S. senator on Friday. His speech, titled “A Year in the Senate: Discussion and Reflections,” will begin at 4 p.m. on March 2 in room 106 of the White Hall Classroom Building. Paul will discuss his lessons learned Paul from the legislation process. Paul is son of Texas Rep. Ron Paul and was elected to the senate in 2010. He is the first U.S. senator to have served beside a parent in the House of Representatives. Economics professors William Hoyt and John Garen are responsible for organizing Paul’s visit to UK. The speech is part of the Leaders and Public Policy series, which is sponsored by the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration. “We encourage students to come,” Hoyt said. “We think Sen. Paul has had a lot of interest in coming.” Hoyt said students should come because what goes on in the Senate will one day have a big impact on students’ lives. Paul is caught right in the middle of a debate and it will be interesting to hear his insights on how his experience has been with that, Garen said. “Rand Paul is an important figure,” Garen said. “I think it will be very informative for people to hear.” The event is free and open to the public.

Creates awareness about personal violence By Sarah Buhler features@kykernel.com
Whether it’s in the form of a poster, sweatshirt being worn or pin on a backpack, one can’t go far on UK’s campus without seeing one of the VIP Center’s green dots floating around. The VIP Center is always working to fight power-based personal violence and make UK’s campus one of the safest in the country. Later this month, the VIP Center is

taking part in a national movement called “Take Back The Night.” As part of the rally, this week the VIP Center is hosting a photo campaign. Students are encouraged to come in and get their picture taken to show their support against power-based personal violence. Gretchen Gruenberg, the student director at the VIP Center, came up with the idea for a photo campaign. She said she wanted to create awareness and have something to show at the rally in March. Gruenberg’s idea for a photo campaign was inspired by the “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls” campaign, which was co-founded by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. “The one-in-three statistic is unacceptable,” Gruenberg said. “I want to make this campus a safe place for my friends.” Gruenberg, a communications and Interstrategic Communications senior, is in her second year as student director. Senior Josh Nadzam has participated in the rally for the past two years. “‘Take Back The Night’ reminds us that we can all play a role in stopping intimate partner violence,” he said. “Overall, ‘Take Back The Night’ is a very powerful, moving event that I would encourage everyone to attend.” See VIP on page 2

Students, faculty and alumni took the stage together in the opening weekend of “August: Osage County.” The play is about a family in disarray with more secrets than they can keep up with. When a family member goes missing, the rest of the family is thrown together in a cramped house being forced to communicate. “Usually (the Department of Theatre) spends time with the older shows,” Elizabeth Greenfield, assistant stage manager, said. “This is one of the newer plays, so the audience response was unprecedented.” The actors did a tremendous job keeping in character. When the role required the actor to smoke a cigarette, the actor was smoking a cigarette not even ten feet from the audience. The detail in the set design was the most important aspect of the play. The television was plugged into the cable so that when the actor had to turn on the television, it was actually on. When the family was sitting down for dinner, the audience could actually smell the food they were eating. “We’ve all been at awkward famiSee THEATRE on page 2

Seniors expected to start on Thursday By Sam Rothbauer srothbauer@kykernel.com
UK’s starters are expected to change from the usual lineup. Both senior guard Darius Miller and senior forward Eloy Vargas are expected to start and play as often as possible in UK’s game against Georgia. “I’m going to try to play (Vargas) as many minutes as I can,” head coach John Calipari said, “which is what I always do with the seniors on senior night.” While Vargas hasn’t had much playing time in his second season at UK, he has contributed for the Cats in crucial moments. But it doesn’t bother Vargas that he doesn’t play much. “I’m good because every time we win, everybody wins,” Vargas said. “It’s Kentucky and this is a family. It’s not about self, it’s about us.” Last season he played behind the blooming Josh Harrellson, while this year he’s been forced to wait his turn again behind freshman forward Anthony Davis. “We’re not getting to see him,” Calipari said, “because he’s playing behind the spider-man (Davis) there.” But Vargas looked back on his experiences of being a Cat as the end of the regu-
lar season approaches. “It’s been great to be here in this program and being in Kentucky,” Vargas said. “It’s the best program in the world right now in college. So being a part of this program has been tremendous.”

ly dinners,” Greenfield said. The audience physically tensed up when the drama unfolded, and that in and of itself proved the engagement of the audience. “The performance was thrilling and many folks are saying it was the best play they have seen on the Guignol stage,” Nancy Jones, chairman of the Department of Theatre, said. “We sold out every show.” The cast looked as if they have really grown into the parts they play. The audience could relate to the characters within the play. “We had to learn how to become our characters, physically and mentally,” Michael Sheehy, student actor playing Bill Fordham, said. “It is definitely a bridge each of us had to cross.” The first weekend of “August: Osage County” was a success, bringing in alumni, professors and students together to celebrate the Department of Theatre’s accomplishments. “We were all really excited that both younger and older audiences enjoyed the show; they were all responding with laughter, etc. It makes everything worth it,” Greenfield said. “They even told me that they have never wanted intermission to be shorter.”
To participate in the photo campaign, the VIP Center will be taking pictures 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Thursday, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Friday and next week during VIP’s normal hours at the VIP Center in the lower level of Frazee Hall.

Alongside “Ten Thousand Villages,” clubs and organizations came out and set up stations for promotion. Taste of Our World “helps us get out there to other clubs and to diversify the people that want to join,” said Akila Shabazz, a member of Bridgin Da Gapz, which is a new student organization.

kernel. we do it daily. ‘Malfoy’ to play LAPD cop REASON TO WATCH: Terrific new series with Jason Isaacs, Lucious Malfoy from the “Harry Potter” movies, as a cop with vivid dreams. WHAT IT’S ABOUT: LAPD detective Michael Britten (Isaacs) is involved in a terrible car accident that killed either his wife, Hannah (Laura Allen, “Terriers”), or 15-yearold son Rex (Dylan Minnette). Which one? Beats Michael, because he is now living two separate realities one in which his wife is alive, another his son. In fact, one may be real, the other simply a very lucid dream. He has shrinks in each realm Dr. Evans (Cherry Jones) and Dr. Lee (BD Wong) trying to convince him that their world is real and the other but a dream. And he has partners in each Isaiah “Bird” Freeman (Steve Harris, “The Practice”) and Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama, “That ‘70s Show”) who are just about as bewildered as you are right now. Michael, you see, uses clues or leads from one realm (or dream) to solve crimes in the other.

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 a 6 — Finish a job carefully. A solution to an old problem becomes apparent, and reviewing the cards again reveals new strategies that weren't obvious before. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6 — Wait until later to discuss an upcoming purchase ... the timing's not right. Heed a friend's warning. When choosing, consider the impacts on your health. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6 — Impulsiveness can cause accidents, so slow down a bit. Check your footing, and play strong. Refuse to be suppressed. Recharge batteries when low. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7 — Think it over a little longer. It should be ready to go later. Traffic's blocked for
butterfly or whether he was at that moment a butterfly dreaming he was a man. And if poor ol’ Zhuangzi couldn’t figure that one out, what hope is there for Michael Britten, or viewers, who also will be a bit befuddled at times? NBC, in fact, pulled this one off the shelf a few months ago to (probably) work out that very problem; after all, not many cop procedurals are so deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, Cartesian thought puzzles, or “The Matrix.” But the results are promising. Well acted, smartly written and cleverly stitched together, “Awake” works on many levels both intellectual and emotional. Foremost, it’s a puzzle you are meant to work on just as much as Britten does. Plus, his bereavement and predicament are heartbreaking. He is a man who refuses to resolve his dilemma who is alive? who is dead? because he can’t bear to know. BOTTOM LINE: Yup, the story can be downbeat, the pace at times languid. But this is a show with a brain and a heart. NBC finally has quality back on Thursday night at 10 EST.
now. Stick close to home, and take care of some lingering responsibility. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Belt it out: You've got something to say, and they're listening. You have some wonderful friends. The best things in life are free. Enjoy them with gusto. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — Don't jump the gun; listen for the timing. Step carefully, and watch where you're going. Pay attention, and you master the dance. Now you're jamming. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Imagine the finished product, and you can spot potential problems before they arise. If you get stuck, take a walk and think it over. Calm down to untangle. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6 — Stay close to home, but make sure to recharge with a stroll outdoors. Don't miss the forest for the trees. Look at the big picture.

Get plenty of rest. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — At first, the task may seem impossible. Create teamwork to make it happen, and exceed expectations. Don't forget to give thanks. There's room for love. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Keep working on it with as few distractions as possible. But don't cut corners to get the job done. Pay attention to detail. Slow down to get it done faster. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Don't throw your money away; be creative with what you've got. Open windows and let a romantic breeze fill your heart. When all else fails, use humor. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6 — Your family helps you to overcome a difficult situation. Lean on them more than you might normally. Thank them. They know you'd do the same. Don't take it personally. MCT

kernel editorial
Q-and-A with UK President Eli Capilouto The Kernel Editorial Board sat down with UK President Eli Capilouto for a Q-and-A. Here are selections of his responses. Q: You’ve made a commitment to the undergraduate experience on campus. What’s next in this endeavor? A: We’re working to expand and improve our honors experience. We also want to expand scholarships, living learning communities such as A&S Wired, and other innovations. Q: The Board of Trustees passed Phase I of the privatized housing plan. When can we expect it to consider Phase II (in which almost all of UK’s dorms would be transferred to Education Realty Trust)?
A: I want to move as rapidly as possible because we have severe excess demand for housing. We need the approval of this by the General Assembly … by April. Q: What feedback have you heard on the housing plan, both positive and negative? A: It’s mostly been positive. But the way this is structured we are paying property taxes. But it’s still cheaper than doing it (building) ourselves. To address another concern, the historic dorms are staying. Q: How will the state budget cuts affect UK? A: I do regret the cuts. Dealing with expenditures in our state is still very challenging (since the recession).
Some states are bouncing back, but we don’t have the luxury here yet. Continued state budget cuts do put pressure on tuition. Q: Regarding the Student Forum held last Wednesday, what concerns were addressed that are now on your radar (such as accessibility on campus)? A: I had heard about advising before. I think we need to take a closer look at that. In regard to accessibility, some areas, such as the quad, are not handicap accessible. Installing elevators in some of these older buildings would be enormously expensive. We’re making sure our new facilities are accessible. Q: The last administration focused heavily on the Top 20 Business Plan. Are
you focused on that? A: The best way to advance our rankings is to enhance the undergraduate experience. Graduation rates are consistently used as a measure. All the things we’re doing will move those measures, but we’re doing it for the right reasons. We want to put students first, not just go up in the rankings. We have a responsibility to the General Assembly, but we’ve added some additional paths for getting there. Q: UK has been ranked low in diversity. You came from Alabama, which has a tumultuous history with diversity. How do you plan to improve diversity here? A: I think increasing the number of minority groups, more international students
and more black faculty are all example of progress. I’ve asked (Vice President for Institutional Diversity) J.J. Jackson to work with me on enhancing programs. We’ve taken some very good steps. I would like to continue that momentum. Q: When it comes to implementing changes at UK, did you think of it as a blank slate or how did you build on what was already here? A: I never looked at it as a blank slate, and I think if I did it would be a disservice to the people here who have made things happen. Nobody could tell you one person made all that possible. Great things are going on here on campus. Q: What do you think of Kentucky overall?
A: We’ve been pretty honest with ourselves in developing systems of accountability. It’s always about people. People are great. It’s pretty neat to re-pot yourself and have a positive experience. Q: What has been your biggest challenge as president so far? A: Beating Tennessee. I did in one semester what hadn’t been done in 26 years. Q: But beside that? It’s been hard consuming so much information and so much history so quickly. Q: If you turn on your iPod, what are the first three songs you see? A: 1. “Empire State of Mind,” 2. “All I Do Is Win,” 3. “Sandstorm (Radio Edit).” It’s my exercise mix.

Miller talks about senior night Senior looks back at career at UK, differences in four years Darius Miller swears he won’t cry. Not because he might not want to. Because he refuses to. “I don’t think I can just let it out even if I want to,” Miller said. “If I want to or feel I’m about to, I’m just going to suck it up.” Miller said this, dry-eyed, standing in front of a podium in the AARON practice gym he’s inSMITH habited for the past four years. Kernel The first year was columnist the worst. UK ended up in the NIT under Billy Gillispie, who Miller said he hasn’t talked to since that season. “My freshman year was kind of rough, as you all know,” Miller said. By his second season, his practice gym experience had changed drastically. In came head coach John Calipari. At the time, Miller was worried about whether he would have a place on a Caliparicoached team. Unknown to him, though, Calipari thought he was the best player in the gym. He liked Miller’s skill set, unpolished as it was, and saw his potential to fit into his system.
So Miller stuck around, and — although he didn’t play a major role — was in the Elite Eight a year after being relegated to a second-tier postseason tournament. “From my freshman year to my sophomore year were opposites,” Miller said.
“
My freshman year was kind of rough, as you know.” Darius Miller, senior
“I’m happy we changed it so fast.” Since then, Miller and UK have stayed on that high. He hasn’t lost in Rupp Arena since that first year. He was the Cats’ key player down the stretch last season, culminating in being named the MVP of the SEC Tournament and helping UK to a Final Four berth. And now, Miller’s a vital player on a team projected to go even further than that.
The lone four-year senior on UK’s roster operates as the “glue guy” on the team, a stabilizing influence as the guy who’s experienced double what anyone else has. He’s played in 141 games at UK, 74 more than the player with the second-most appearances in a UK uniform (Doron Lamb). During his time, 38 other players have appeared on official team rosters with him. Nine former teammates are now in the NBA, and a few more from this year’s team are likely to follow. That makes him the designated old man on the team. He may be older than his young teammates, but he’s still a college kid. “I’m not in any way part of Team No Sleep,” Miller said, referencing his teammates’ informal group. “I actually love sleep and I would like to do it all the time.” Miller’s now closing in on the end of his career. He’s accumulated 1,139 points, 458 rebounds, 258 assists, 104 steals and 95 blocks — which is just a touch shy of his dad’s goals. “My father’s always wanted me to score 100, get 100 rebounds, have 100 assists,” Miller said. “He’s always had high expectations. Whose dad doesn’t?” Maybe Miller didn’t average a tripletriple.
Softball continues road trip in Louisiana Head coach Rachel Lawson’s UK softball team will go on the road for the fourthstraight weekend to start the season, visiting Lafayette, La., to participate in the Ragin’ Cajuns’ Invitational starting Friday. The Cats won three-offour games in the Georgia Southern Invitational last weekend to improve to 7-6 on the season. Finding offensive production wasn’t much of a problem for them either after scoring eight runs on North Florida and nine against Radford; their highest run production of the season. UK’s ability to shut down
opponents on defense can be attributed to its pitching staff, which senior Brittany Cervantes said was a stress reliever for those on offense to have. Another UK batter feeling the effects of strong outings by her pitching staff is junior Kara Dill. Her 10 game hitting streak will be put to the test starting with the Texas A&M University Corpus Christi Islanders at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Islanders are 2-7 on the season with wins over North Texas and a UK Southeastern Conference foe, Ole Miss.
Games two and three will pit UK against Stephen F. Austin, which holds a 5-10 record. UK senior Chanda Bell’s 0.73 ERA could be put to use during the Saturday doubleheader. After taking on Stephen F. Austin, UK will play against its third team ranked in the ESPN.COM/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25. Saturday’s 2 p.m. game will be against tournament host, No. 12 University of Louisiana Lafayette. The Ragin Cajuns are 12-0 on the season and opened the season by outscoring their opponents by at least nine runs in six of

Students invited to panel on Occupy Movement By Jarrod Thacker jthacker@kykernel.com
UK students are invited to “occupy” a panel discussion hosted by UK Diversity Education and Community Building on Thursday that examines the ubiquitous social movement that began with Occupy Wall Street. The event, held in room 206 of the Student Center from 4-6 p.m., will facilitate discussion about the Occupy Movement in a way that is relevant to college students, including conversations concerning tuition inflation and living in a weakened economy. According to DE&CB Student Coordinator Annalisa Abell, organizations and individuals in attendance include the Center for Community Outreach, UK Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Blue-
grass Community and Technical College, Occupy Lexington and UK political science professor emeritus Herbert Reid. Panelists will discuss their experiences with the Occupy Movement, Abell said. “Students should attend this event to become aware of an existing social movement,” she said. “The event will help them realize that a degree does not guarantee a job, and how many participants in the Occupy Movement are jobless graduates.” DE&CB, a group started in 2009 by the Office for Institutional Diversity and Office of Student Involvement to promote diversity on campus, is conducting this panel discussion as part of its “Plan of Action Series.” The series is an extension of the “Diversity in Leader-
ship Series,” which was a fall workshop series that promoted skills to deal with social justice issues, said DE&CB graduate assistant Robert Odom. “Social justice work is an imperative in our larger goal of making UK a safe, welcoming community for students of difference, regardless of color, culture, gender, sexual orientation, abilities, age or geographical region,” Odom said in an email to the Kernel. “Our workshop and discussion series are how we prepare students for this work.” Attendants who were able to RSVP for the event beforehand will receive dinner and a copy of the book “This Changes Everything: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement,” edited by Sarah van Gelder.

Former law professor, university president visiting UK By Kelsie Raines news@kykernel.com
A former UK professor and current president of the Catholic University of America, John Garvey, will be discussing religion and academics on Friday. The speech on “Religion and Academic Freedom,” will be at 7 p.m. in the UK College Of Law Courtroom. “He is coming back as a distinguished speaker to speak to the people of Lexington,” Roger Teague, the Newman Foundation president, said. Garvey taught law at UK from 1976 until 1994. Teague said he met Garvey when he taught at UK because they both were members of the Newman Center, the Catholic student center on
campus. Garvey graduated from Notre Dame and later went on to Harvard Law School and Harvard Divinity School. He has been a professor at numerous universities around the nation, and is a former dean of the Boston College Law School. He is the third lay president of Catholic University of America, meaning he isn’t a part of the clergy. It is the national university of the Catholic church, located in Washington, D.C., according to the university’s website. “The interesting part is we, as human beings, are always being challenged,” Teague said. Garvey is known for speaking about “the role of religion in his professional and
personal life and admits that such openness about religion might be unusual in America,” according to the Catholic university’s website. In a recent Chicago Tribune article, Garvey wrote about the same topic. “In a society so heavily regulated, the only practical way to protect religious freedom is to carve out exemptions from the laws for people who have strong objections,” he wrote in the article. Jessica Millard Hartman, executive director of the Newman Foundation, said she can’t wait to see him. “He’s coming to UK to reconnect with his friends at the Newman Center and also his friends at the College of Law,” Teague said.
seven games, including three shutouts. The second game of the season for the Ragin Cajuns, against then top 25 Tulsa, resulted in a sixth inning mercy rule for a 19-4 win. The Ragin Cajuns also went on to knock off No. 15 Michigan on February 25 — one weekend after the Wolverines shut out the Cats, 3-0. The tournament will conclude for UK on Sunday with an 11:00 a.m. Eastern time meeting with the 4-11 Nicholls State University Colonels.
