Ad brings back bad feelings UPS logistics commerical not so logical to UK fans By Kellie Oates news@kykernel.com
Anyone who’s been keeping up with March Madness has seen the UPS commercial on the logistics of a game-winning shot — and it probably caught UK fans’ attention more so than other viewers. The commercial shows a
clip from the 1992 game where Duke player Grant Hill catapults the basketball across-court to fellow player Christian Laettner, who makes a last-second shot, preventing the Cats from making the Final Four. Though many UK students weren’t alive or old enough to remember this game, it still strikes a nerve. Some wonder if
the clip was chosen intentionally. Others just have a deep rooted feeling of hate for Duke basketball. “I mean, it’s fitting for March Madness, but as a UK fan and anti-Duke fan, I despise it,” said English junior Eliot Brown. “Also, you’d think UPS would choose a different game that isn’t so anti-
Kentucky considering their airline (hub) is based out of Louisville.” Mike Mangeot, a public relations manager for the Louisville UPS air group rebutted this sentiment in a WAVE 3 news story, saying, “We want Kentucky fans to know that there was certainly no slight intended. It was simply just a great illustration of logistics. How everything has to happen See UPS on page 2

Candidates addressing student body at debate By Kayla Phelps kphelps@kykernel.com
The two sets of candidates running for president and vice president will participate in a debate Wednesday, a week before the elections will take place. Stephen Bilas and Mary Katherine Kington are on one ticket. Drake Staples and Mary Ellen Wimberly are on the other. The debate is sponsored by the Inter-Greek Programming Assembly, Interfraternity Council, National PanHellenic Council, Panhellenic Council and the Kentucky Kernel. “One of our main goals in establishing an event like this and includ-

And that’s the business that we’re in.” Mangeot also said in the article that UK had “creative approval on everything” and that its officials “gave UPS the go-ahead to do it.” “I have a hard time believing UK approved this because of how serious we are about basketball,” sophomore Clay Smith said. “The shot is
great for the commercial though, so I see why UPS used it, but UK fans are diehard. Especially when it comes to Duke.” UPS, the official logistics supplier for the NCAA, is using the pass as a metaphor for logistics. And while the idea makes sense, it still doesn’t sit well with a lot of UK students and fans. “It was crushing, that’s how I remember it. I was about 8 years old and I remember the atmosphere in the room was like that of a funeral; like someone we loved

Somewhat ambiguous film still fun If you are one of those stuffy types who insists on understanding what is happening in each and every scene of a film, the Chinese action-comedy blockbuster “Let the Bullets Fly” is not your cup of Oolong. But if you’re willing to accept a movie as an immersive emotional-kinetic experience, it might be your new favorite thing. After watching it, I was as confused — and giddy — as if I had been rolled down a hill in rain barrel. For unmitigated insanity, this is a hard film to beat. The film, reportedly China’s No. 1 box office hit ever, is essentially a rowdy latter-day Western set in the warlord era of the 1920s. A newly appointed governor is riding a private rail car to provincial Goose Town, guzzling champagne and hatching plans to fleece the locals. Bandits attack, the governor dies in the hellacious train wreck. His flunky, Tang, survives, and Zhang, the chief of the marauders, forces him to play along in a plot to oust Goose Town’s boss, Master Huang. At least I think so. I’m about 70 percent sure that’s what
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 — You're lucky, powerful and looking good. The trick is to inspire action, rather than demand it. Celebrate results, and acknowledge partners. Your charm's magnetic. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Share what you've learned with someone who's providing assistance. Rely on loved ones at home. Listen up ... they're saying nice things about you. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — Your career's taking off, and your cheering section approves. Take them out to celebrate with comfort food. Get organized, and keep your friends involved. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8 — Give in to sweet indulgences with this New Moon, especially those that
writer-director Jiang Wen was driving at. Never mind. Goose Town is a wide-open frontier city where everybody has a gun and the irritability to use it. The bandit chief, “Pocky” Zhang, uses Tang to dupe Huang. Actually, there are two Huangs, the real one and his double. I’m guessing the soundalike names are a riff on the idea that political leaders are all interchangeable crooks. And the population, as indicated, is a bunch of birdbrains. The movie is above all entertaining, a riot of madcap comedy, exuberant action scenes and flamboyant acting. Writer/ director Jiang, moving in front of the camera to play the bandit Zhang, is cowboy cool incarnate. Ge You, a timorous Don Knotts type in silk brocade, is a hoot as cowardly, avaricious Tang. Best known to Westerners is suavely handsome Chow Yun Fat, China’s answer to George Clooney, in a high-spirited double role as the nefarious Huang and his pea-brained lookalike. The plot-be-damned lunacy of the story repeatedly made me feel lost, but never bored.
charm someone near to you (maybe very near). The conversation's illuminating. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — If you've been respectful, the commentary's complimentary. Go ahead and put down some roots. Make a commitment. Work smarter, not harder. New doors are open. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Beautify your space with simplicity. A hunch could be quite profitable. You're attracted to someone who's making a lot of sense. Share their message. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Sometimes the fun part is to work hard for what you want. If you're not sure, don't be afraid to ask for directions and learn new skills. Keep working at it. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — It's an excellent time for a journey with friends. Others appreciate your leadership and clever storytelling. Leave room for others to shine, too. Feel the love.
MCT
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — Find the solution in the usual place. Visualize beauty. Pamper yourself, and it doesn't have to cost you a penny. Stay close to home tonight. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Taking a walk outdoors helps clear your thoughts. Keep your eyes wide open. There's a lot to learn in unexpected places. Observe a caterpillar. Build a dynamic vision. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Fine-tuning actions and letting go of unnecessary steps leads to increased satisfaction. The less moving parts there are, the less chances there are of breaking down. Dream. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 9 — You risk steamrolling your loved ones with your increased confidence. Listen to your partner for wisdom. The conversation can be significant in many ways. MCT
www.bilaskington2012.com They want to focus on taking past initiatives and making them more efficient and effective. Both have worked in Student Government since starting at UK, so they “recognize the importance that an experienced, passionate team of leaders has on the success of Student Government,” Bilas said. They think teacher accountability is an area that can be improved and hope to implement a program that caters to teacher expectations and student concerns.
Staples/Wimberly www.stapleswimberly.com They have multiple initiatives they want to see through that they know can be accomplished in one year. They want to implement a short-term, interest-free loan program for all UK students. They also want to start ONE Kentucky at campus, which is a program that promotes respect, equality and diversity among students. Their platform is based on equal representation of the entire student body. out UK’s campus. One of her main goals is to see “both Greek and non-Greeks come together so the entire campus can become involved.” Jackson also said he wants “to appeal to the interests of this diverse population.” “Having that second portion allows students with all different backgrounds and ideas to engage,” Jackson said. The elections will take place March 2829 and results will be announced at 8 p.m. March 29 on the Student Center patio. “This election affects all students at UK,” Jackson said. “Who they decide to elect will affect them and campus opportunities.” For more information about Student Government and the elections, visit uksga.org.

What contributed to UK’s loss? Many factors may have made a difference in Indiana’s win AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
It’s been (as of writing this on Tuesday) 101 days since UK went to Indiana on Dec. 10 and lost its only regular-season game. “That was like a season ago,” head coach John Calipari said. “I had to watch the tape just to remember anything.” For UK fans, everyone remembers one play: Christian Watford’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer. But that’s only three of a combined 145 points in the game. Other factors went into Indiana’s upset. Were they aberrations that day? Or can we expect similar performances? Let’s take a look at some of the major storylines in that game: Indiana made 9 of 15 threes and 14 of 17 free throws The Hoosiers’ stellar performance from behind the (3point) line and from the (free-throw) line wasn’t abnormal. Indiana ranks second in
1
the NCAA in 3-point percentage (43.7) and every player except Cody Zeller contributes from outside. But it’s tough to guard because Indiana isn’t overly reliant on the three: only 27.6 percent of its shots are 3-pointers. Against UK on Dec. 10, 25.9 percent of its shots were from deep. As for the free throws, Indiana ranks 12th nationally in free-throw percentage (76.3). Indeed, the Hoosiers didn’t get to the line against UK as often as they usually do. Their free-throw rate of 29.3 percent paled in comparison to their season average of 45.2 percent. “If you foul them or give them threes, you’re losing,” Calipari said. “That’s what they do.” Terrence Jones was a no-show Jones had his worst game of the season, scoring four points and grabbing one rebound. He was benched down the stretch and Calipari all but said he might as well have stayed home that day. It didn’t seem to be a Hoosier-induced problem for Jones, though. It was, simply, his worst day. There’s nothing that suggests he will

have a similarly bad day in the Sweet 16, especially considering how well he’s played lately. He’s averaged 14.4 points and 10.4 rebounds over the past five games. “I hope he keeps playing like he’s been,” Calipari said. “Whatever you’re eating, whatever you’re reading, tell the rest of the guys.” Anthony Davis was in foul trouble Davis fouled twice in the first half and finished the game with four. As a result, he was relegated to 24 minutes, the lowest of the top six rotation players. Davis hasn’t had four fouls since. For an elite shotblocker, he’s great at avoiding fouls. Everyone calls him a game-changer, but he has to be in the game to change it. “He left his feet twice, and he didn’t need to either time,” Calipari said in explaining Davis’ foul troubles that day. Davis has continued learning how to be a better defender through the year. If he can stay in the game, he could make the difference. The motivation was in Indiana’s favor That Dec. 10 game was the most hostile crowd I’ve seen. Indiana wanted that game against

then-No. 1 UK so bad. It represented the restoration of the program. The incalculable factors pointed the Hoosiers’ way. This time around, the Cats have the edge. Now that the game’s here, Calipari stressed that the game isn’t for revenge and that it won’t matter. But at different times throughout the season, when Indiana wasn’t immediately on the horizon and the “right things” didn’t have to be said, players talked about how much that Indiana loss burned, how much they would like another shot at the Hoosiers. Those feelings haven’t disappeared. At the end of everything, I go back to something Calipari said a few weeks ago. He was talking about how well UK had played, gamein and game-out, during its long winning streak, and then he touched tangentially on how the Indiana game was one of the only times his team had not played well. That sentiment, stripped of all external rationale for saying it — he didn’t have to talk up or talk down that game because the rematch was not sitting right in front of him — might be the key. The Cats didn’t play that well against Indiana the first time around. Play better, and anything else might not matter.
Baseball chasing SEC streak record By David Schuh dschuh@kykernel.com
The UK baseball team will play Cincinnati Wednesday at 4 p.m. The Cats (21-0, 3-0 SEC) are in the midst of the longest win streak in program history and the third longest in the history of the SEC. The longest streak in conference history belongs to the 2009 LSU team, who won 23 consecutive games on their
way to a national championship. A win over UC (8-10) and wins Friday and Saturday at Tennessee (11-8) would secure the record for UK. “It’s a great feeling,” senior catcher Michael Williams said. “We’re a lot more confident, more positive and we all have each other’s back.” But UK head coach Gary Henderson is trying to continue to take it one game at a time.
“We enjoy winning,” Henderson said. “But the bigger picture is there are 30 of them (conference games) and we need to win as many as we can to get to Birmingham.” The Cats made a climb in the national rankings following their sweep of the twotime defending national champion South Carolina Gamecocks last weekend. Highlighted by a No. 2 ranking from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, UK was
seen at No. 6, 13 and 16 by various media outlets. A win over UC and a sweep of UT could make UK a unanimous top-five team. “I told our kids there are more distractions and challenges in their lives than there have ever been in college athletics,” Henderson said. “Moving forward, we will just try to do a good job in handling tomorrow night’s ballgame at Cincinnati before we do anything else.”

The Lukewarm Truth: UK 501 LUKE GLASER Kernel columnist
UK 101, the orientation program created for incoming freshmen, has seen wild success in its goal to increase retention rates and create a more accommodating environment for new students. So why, dear readers, wouldn’t it work the other way around? The newly created Office of Old Students has announced the genesis of UK 501, an orientation program with a focus on seniors getting the hell out of UK. “We’re just sick of them sticking around,” said the program coordinator. “I mean, geez, enough is enough.”
The program was created to address the growing issue of students refusing to leave college. A bad job market, coupled with an adolescent refusal to move on with life, creates an atmosphere of fifth-, sixth- and even seventh-year seniors in the most extreme cases. “I’m not just another one of those students,” said one fifth-year senior, whose first two years were spent drinking, failing and filling out repeat options. “I just have a few more classes to take and then I will be finished with my degree. I think.” UK 501 will teach students who have been here longer than the traditional four years how to grow up. Courses include “Classes that help finish your degree that aren’t intermediate tennis,” “Quit complaining and fill out applications” and
“Safety tips when moving out of your parents’ basement.” “We love all our students,” said one instructor. “But, you know, there’s a time when you need to leave the nest. Our job in UK 501 is to violently shove them out of the nest.” Studies show that students desperate to stay in college “just one more year” will add degrees that they don’t really care about and have a sudden epiphany in which the career that has evaded them all their lives suddenly presents itself three years into college. Unfortunately, said career doesn’t involve any of those accumulated psychology credits. UK 501 will also revisit some UK 101 principles. “So this is Willy T. Library?” said one befuddled fifth-year, gazing in awe at
the building whose tour he missed when he went to prank that one sorority freshman year as a pledge. “This is really cool. This substantial collection of books and electronic resources would have really helped me the last five years.” Coordinators are optimistic about the results of the program. “One of the primary goals of UK is to increase graduation rates,” one coordinator said as he created the “Go to the freaking Career Center” lesson plan. “We are doing that by making them graduate.” And that, dear readers, is the lukewarm truth. Not quite hot, but definitely not cold. The editors of the Kentucky Kernel neither confirm nor endorse the ideas expressed in this article. Because really, who in their right mind would?
