The Kentucky Kernel has named a new editor-in-chief for the 2012-13 school year. Journalism sophomore Becca Clemons was chosen by Kernel Press Inc., the nonprofit board that selects the editor, to lead next year’s staff. “She has a tremendous passion for not only journalism, but the Kentucky Kernel,” Duane Bonifer, chairman of Kernel Press Inc., said. Clemons is a current managing editor for the Kernel and was the only candidate for the position. The board, which consists of Kernel alumni, the current editor and student advertising manager, UK journalism professors and other members of the journalism community, interviewed Clemons on Thursday. Bonifer said he thinks Clemons will carry on the the “great tradition” of the Kernel and the “outstanding work” that current Editor-inChief Taylor Moak has done. “We couldn’t have accomplished half of what we’ve done this year without Becca’s help,” Moak said. She said Clemons has been her “righthand man” in making decisions and has helped keep the overall vision of the Kernel in mind. Bonifer said the focus of many of the questions was the future of journalism and where Clemons sees the Kernel in five years. “We want the editor to be thinking about how the Kernel needs to evolve,” Bonifer said. “Think about being proactive, rather than reactive.” Clemons wants to make the Kernel more of a presence on campus. “I really want the university to know who our editors are, and I want us to be approachable,” she said. She said she wants to reach out to students for input. “We need to put more focus on long-term, investigative pieces about issues that matter to students. And to find out what matters, I want to get the conversation going with everyone on campus,” Clemons said. Bonifer is looking forward to seeing that type of innovation from Clemons, he said. “Becca is just the latest in a great line of editors,” he said. Interviews for next year’s Kernel staff will be announced in the coming weeks. Clemons encourages anyone interested in the Kernel to look for postings about positions or to contact her at bclemons@kykernel.com. “The Kernel is a huge part of campus and I am really excited to be leading it,” she said. “We are the only media outlet that reports indepth on all aspects of campus and reports on all the issues that matter to students on campus and beyond.” 03.23.12 | weekend timeout | 3
Fashion show will be a colorful affair KRISTEN SEKINGER features@kykernel.com The Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles Club with the Hospitality Management Association is presenting “Color Me Spring - An After Hours Fashion Affair,” a fashion show, Friday. The show begins at 6 p.m. with a silent auction and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the fashion show at 7 p.m. The silent auction consists of donations from hair salons, clothing retailers and tanning stores. Aubrey Garrity, a merchandising, apparel and textiles sophomore, as well as the historian of MAT Club, said she was in charge of getting donations for the silent auction and getting the club’s board to advertise for the fashion show. “I am most excited about seeing it all come together and seeing all the different looks from all the boutiques around Lexington,” Garrity said. The fashion show will consist of this season’s upcoming spring clothes from boutiques around Lexington, such as Bella
Rose, Bluetique and aJ’s Casuals. Katie Buckley, a merchandising, apparel and textiles sophomore, said she expects to see “bright colors from this year’s fashion show.” Buckley said she’s excited to see everyone walk down the runway. The money raised in the show goes toward trips for students in the fields of hospitality management and merchandising, apparel and textiles. Students travel to places such as New York and Atlanta where they gain knowledge in the hospitality and retailing industry and pursue future careers and internship opportunities. Caroline Ecklin, an equine science management sophomore, plans to attend the fashion show Friday. “I expect to see high-wasted shorts, bandeaus and lots of bright color,” Ecklin said. Admission is $20 for the public and $10 for students. It will be held at the E. S. Good Barn at 1451 University Drive.

Jarrod Polson reacts to Cosmo ‘hottest guy’ ranking HANNAH WILSON features@kykernel.com
myukapartment.com
UK’s Jarrod Polson, sophomore guard for the men’s basketball team, was named one of the 24 “Hottest Guys of March Madness 2012” by Cosmopolitan magazine. Yes, he may not get to play a lot, but according to Cosmo, that doesn’t matter when judging Jarrod Polson looks. “I had no idea what Cosmopolitan magazine was before being in it. I found out about the list from one of my friends tweeting me about it,” Polson said. He said that when he found out about being on the list, he just laughed and didn’t really think much of it. Some of the other basketball players knew he made the list. His teammates who knew gave him a hard time and joked around
about it with him, he said. In response to whom Polson thinks he got his good looks from, he said, “Most people say I look like my dad the most, so I’m going to have to say I look like my dad.” What is it about Polson that women can’t get enough of? “His smile and how humble he is with all the fame that the team is getting,” freshman Kayla Dunbar said. “It’s a good thing that he is in the magazine, and I completely agree.” Polson remarks on how he has stayed humble and grounded. “I remember where I came from and how I was raised,” Polson said. Though he was rated in the magazine, Polson said he doesn’t receive that much attention. “Girls don’t really react much,” Polson added. “They are pretty cool about it for the most part. People on campus sometimes act nicer and are friendlier when they find out who I am.”

View from the other side A Q-and-A with an Indiana columnist
Aaron Smith: What was your (and Indiana’s) reaction when the brackets came out and you saw UK as a possible Sweet 16 matchup? Didn’t it feel like it just HAD to happen? Avi Zaleon, Indiana Daily Student basketball columnist: When the word “Indiana” appeared on a projection screen at the IU watch party, I honestly think the initial reaction was just relief. Sure, it was a certainty that the Hoosiers would be going dancing after their regular season resume, but I think that moment was realization for everyone involved in this program that a major step had been taken. Once that seven-letter state to the north of your campus emerged, it didn’t take long for eyeballs to shift up and see Big Blue waiting as a potential Sweet 16 matchup. Sure, my initial reaction was that this just had to happen as a matter of writing the next chapter in this rivalry’s ongoing saga. However, although it makes for a good story, I don’t buy into the idea that the NCAA Selection Committee paired the two teams in the same bracket solely because of the storyline — it just happened to turn out that way. As far as the team goes, I think, at the time, their focus wasn’t on the Wildcats. Before the Hoosiers would even have the opportunity to start Round 2 with UK, they had to first defeat New Mexico State and then VCU or Wichita State –wins they knew would not come easy. The truth is, a lot has been made over the past week about the mental aspect of this game. A lot of time has been spent trying to get inside the heads of these players and determining what that can tell us about who will win the game. Granted, there is certainly a game within a game when you talk about the mental and emotional aspect, but I think speculating about how these student-athletes feel is a useless endeavor. Sure, we listen to the interviews and read the quotes, but at the end of the day, we have little idea how this will translate onto the court. Aaron: I wonder if it’s much more fun to get inside the minds of Ken-
tucky’s players rather than Indiana’s players — you know, the “revenge” angle and all that. And the Wildcats have been talking about that ESPN commercial of Christian Watford’s shot long before a rematch with Indiana was ever a possibility. But I think you’re right. The mental aspect is probably overstated, especially when it’s such an easy component to focus on for a game like this. As you said, how much of it transfers to the court is a relative unknown. So, what about the actual game on that court? How has Indiana changed since that Dec. 10 upset, and how do you envision this game unfolding? Avi: Well let’s get the “obvious” out of the way first, no Verdell Jones III. The senior point guard went down with a torn ACL against Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. So what did IU lose? In Jones, the Hoosiers had a senior leader on the court, a reliable ballhandler and first guard off the bench. With Jones gone, freshman guard Remy Abell has had to step up in the reserve guard role, playing 15, 17 and 16 minutes in each of the three games since Jones’ injury. Abell, a Louisville native who is the first player from Kentucky to score a point for IU in more than 65 years, played a total of just 14 minutes combined in the previous four games leading up to that point. He is not a big scoring threat, but Abell plays the role IU needs, namely a guard who doesn’t turn the ball over — he has committed a total of three turnovers in the past three games. Outside of Jones’ injury, I think this team has matured by learning to adapt to different teams and different game plans. Generally speaking, they can win in different ways. Earlier in the season, I felt like the Hoosiers were too reliant on their 3-point shot, getting to the free throw line and scoring at least 70 points — entering Saturday’s matchup with VCU, IU had never won a game in which it did not score more than 69 points. Granted, these factors will help any team win, but I just thought the Hoosiers lived and died by them. But against Shaka Smart and the Rams, IU hit six triples, made just nine free
throws, scored its lowest point total since Feb. 1 in a loss against Michigan and still somehow edged out a win. The Hoosiers have a “pick your poison” advantage as well. Against New Mexico State in the Big Dance’s opening round, junior guard Jordan Hulls scored 22 points. The next round, Hulls had one of the worst games of his career, but it was Christian Watford who carried the load against VCU, scoring 16 points, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Zeller, the co-Big Ten Freshman of the Year, will get his points, but it’s that second and third scorer who is key. As far as the actual game goes, it’s tough to predict. Kentucky has more length, talent and a fan base at home that won’t settle for anything less than a national title. But the ghosts of Duke and Missouri loom large over this year’s field and there’s no telling when the next nonsensical upset will strike. Any given team can go down on any given day. I think Kentucky will win by eight. The game is not in Assembly Hall. While IU has improved, so have the Cats and Kentucky’s talent is just too much for the Hoosiers. Anthony Davis has done a better job of not getting into foul trouble since the loss in Bloomington (it was the last time he reached four fouls), but at the same time, has never faced a big man as good as Cody Zeller since then. Transition points will be huge. The Wildcats are not going to shoot the three-ball against IU as well as they did against Iowa State. I think the Hoosiers will play in zone and force UK to shoot it from beyond the arc. If that’s the case, easy fast break buckets could give Cal’s Cats the edge if IU commits too many turnovers — the Hoosiers had 22 against VCU’s “HAVOC” defense. As far as individual matchups go, I’m most interested to see how IU handles Marquis Teague. The freshman guard from Indianapolis has really stepped up his game in the Big Dance and if he gets hot, we could see an array of defenders used to limit him. I’d expect IU coach Tom Crean will initially use guard Victor Oladipo, but that assignment could go to anybody from Abell to Watford.
Not all students have love for UK basketball ELIZABETH SUH news@kykernel.com Big Blue Nation is anticipating the game against Indiana as a step closer to an eighth championship title. But what about the students who won’t be bleeding blue — or even watching? Kevin Fletcher, a freshman from Cincinnati, doesn’t care for basketball. “I think it’s a little ridiculous how much tickets are and how hyped up people get for it,” Fletcher said. When he came to UK, Fletcher said he was annoyed when he saw the tents of people waiting for practice game tickets. “I would never do that,” he said. For those who aren’t passionate UK fans, basketball games mean deserted businesses and heavy traffic. “I try to take advantage by seeing a movie or go to the mall if I need something. It’s more empty,” Fletcher said. He said if he hears about a game, he will wait for fans to leave before he heads out. “It’s ironic because I’m wearing a Kentucky basketball shirt right now,” Fletcher said, looking down. “I pretty much didn’t realize it until now. Why I’m wearing it is a mix of being a UK student and because it was the only clean shirt.” Steven Walker, a materials engineering freshman, also avoids UK basketball events. However, he does watch basketball — as a University of Louisville fan. Walker said he stays away from celebrations. “But everywhere around here’s desolate when there’s a game — it’s pretty great,” Walker said. “I also take advantage of no traffic when I drive back home.” He said one time he made the mistake of driving in post-game traffic. “The hype gets to ridiculous levels, but it’s in good fun,” Walker said. “Except last year’s burning the couches was a bit excessive. I wouldn’t burn couches for U of L.” But though some students on campus aren’t huge UK fans, some are on their way there. Gaines Brown, a business and finance freshman, believes those who aren’t into basketball just haven’t experienced it. “Basketball is pretty much everywhere in Lexington,” Brown said. “The city probably would shut down if we won the championship. People would probably call out of work and probably lose money.” Broderick Grimes, a materials engineering freshman SEE FANS PAGE 9 03.23.12 | weekend timeout | 5

Offense key to baseball perfection DAVID SCHUH dschuh@kykernel.com UK baseball head coach Gary Henderson knew his team would improve this season. Depth and bullpen play — issues on last year’s team — are two areas in which he has seen drastic improvement. However, this season’s historically fast start can largely be attributed to the team’s play on offense. Junior catcher Luke Maile has made the biggest turnaround of any. In 50 starts last season, he hit .282 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs. In 22 starts already this season, Maile is hitting .385 with six homers and a team-high 29 RBIs, good for eighth nationally. “My first two years here all I did was get out,” Maile said, laughing. “It’s a tough game and sometimes it goes well for you like it is right now. It says a lot about who you are when you can put a couple hits together and have good at-bats when it’s a tough go at the plate.” One of the concerning players thus far for Henderson has been senior third baseman Thomas McCarthy. After hitting .371 last season, McCarthy became the first UK player since 1972 to earn first-team SEC honors. But in the first 21 games of this season, he was hitting .240. “It’s just the way the game goes sometimes,” Henderson said. “Guys can hit the ball hard and it gets caught. The game will turn for you. He’s a very good hitter and he’ll get his hits.” Wednesday against Cincinnati, he got back on track. McCarthy had a career-high four hits and two RBI to help the Cats secure their 22nd consecutive win. “Obviously four hits is a lot better than the zero or one I’ve been putting up lately,” McCarthy said. “I just felt a lot more comfortable in the box. I worked the count a little bit, saw some pitches and tried to stay in the middle of the field.” It has been a collective effort, though. The Cats (22-0, 3-0 SEC) have five players hitting above .370, two of which are freshmen Austin Cousino and A.J. Reed. Nationally, UK is 11th in total batting average, boasting a team average of .332. It is also fifth nationally in runs scored and sixth in slugging percentage. UK will look to tie the SEC win streak record Friday night at Tennessee in the first of a threegame series. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. 6| weekend timeout | 03.23.12
A single focus Cal not looking past Indiana game UK is one win from being three wins away from the ultimate goal. A Sweet 16 rematch with Indiana highlights the weekend slate of NCAA Tournament games. It’s one of the best possible Sweet 16 games UK could have drawn, in terms of creating excitement. Except John Calipari wants his team focused on itself, not the Hoosier faces that, last time they met, ended in giddy celebration at Assembly Hall. “They want to get out ahead of this, having to play Indiana,” Calipari said in an AARON NCAA release. “I’m telling our SMITH team, forget about this tournaKernel ment. Just play basketball.” columnist Calipari has been reiterating that message the entire year. With the burden of elevated national championship expectations hanging on this UK team since the beginning of the season, the players have been combating that feeling since the start. “I think the main point is we have a lot of fun with everything we do,” Darius Miller said. “You see us laughing and smiling on the court, clapping, and you see all the emotion we leave on the court. I think that’s one of the main differences (with this year compared to the previous two). Not — I don’t want to say differences, but it’s kind of emphasized this year on how much we do those things.” Can that difference be part of the results turning out differently, as well? Can UK continue the progress toward winning a national title, from Elite Eight to Final Four to … well, Calipari
doesn’t want to think that far ahead. Instead, the focus is on Indiana. The Hoosiers are led by Cody Zeller, a talented freshman post player in his own right. He leads the team with 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and shoots 62.2 percent. His production reads like a lesser version of Anthony Davis, who leads his team with 14.3 points and 10.1 rebounds (oh, and those 4.6 blocks) per game, and shoots 63.6 percent. “Just can’t wait to go out there and see what
happens,” Davis said of the matchup. “We’re both great players, and we both work hard. Let’s just go out there and have fun.” One of the most important parts of this game will be Davis avoiding foul trouble. He must be in the game to change the game, and he usually does. He hasn’t picked up four fouls since Dec. 10 — which was, of course, the Indiana game. He was limited to 24 minutes in that game, a number that, if increased, could make all the difference. Calipari said he’s been stressing to his team not to foul. With a short rotation, giving up two points is a minor setback compared to losing one of his six best players for an extended stretch of an NCAA Tournament game. “It’s not football,” Calipari said. “We’ll score seven seconds later. If you broke down, let him score. Don’t foul. I just say it over and over.” At this point, the storylines (revenge!) are done. It’s time for the game. One win to be three wins away from the ultimate goal. “The only promise we can make to any of our fans,” Calipari said, “is we’re going to do our best.” UK fans, conversely, hope — expect? — their best is good enough to win it all.

3 things to watch for in UK-Indiana game 1. Who else emerges? — At this point, it seems that Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis are locks to perform well. Jones is averaging double-double numbers in the postseason and Davis is, well, Davis. So who else, and how many, of UK’s team turns in a solid game against the Hoosiers? Marquis Teague is coming off a career game against Iowa State. He played terrific against Indiana in the second half of the teams’ first meeting. He’s been considered the key to making the Cats a dominant team, and another strong showing would mean a lot going forward. On Thursday, Teague talked about how he has matured as a floor leader since the first time he played his home-state school. “Back then I was just attacking the rim more and making plays for myself,” Teague said, according to an NCAA release, “and not as much for my teammates.” Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been in a late-season offensive swoon — alSEE THINGS PAGE 9

timeout sports THINGS From Page 7 though, save for one SEC Tournament game, he still contributes his usual defense and rebounding — and could be ready to break out. He had 18 points that first game against Indiana. If he has a big game, it could be because he hits shots. Calipari expects Indiana to back off him on the perimeter, which means open looks will be available. He just has to make them. Despite — or maybe because — of his recent shooting struggles, Calipari said he was watching TV two nights ago and Kidd-Gilchrist popped into his mind. “I want to let you know how much I love coaching you,” Calipari said. Darius Miller has also turned in strong showings since breaking out of his scorelessin-two-games slump in the SEC Tournament. He played with more intensity than I’ve seen all year at the start of the Iowa State game. The senior could be making the most of his last chance to win the title when it matters most. 2. How UK defends — Indiana has the fourth-most efficient offense in the nation, according to KenPom.com. It has the secondbest 3-point percentage in the nation and
FANS From Page 5 from Atlanta, said he has become a big fan now that he attends UK. Grimes said he saw how much pride people in Lexington have toward the sport. “People here just try to be expressive,” Grimes said.

both gets to the free throw line and makes the shots. The Cats are coming off a great defensive game against Iowa State, which also had a solid interior player surrounded by talented shooters. The Cats will likely depend on its big men to handle the Hoosiers inside by themselves and stay out of foul trouble. UK’s defense has been its calling card this season. Another solid game on that side of the court could propel the Cats to the Elite Eight. 3. Here’s what went right on Dec. 10 for the Hoosiers: They were playing in an unbelievable atmosphere on their home court, they shot more than 30 percentage points better than the Cats from 3-point range, they got Anthony Davis in foul trouble for really the only time this season, they forced 17 turnovers, they benefited from two UK free-throw misses in the final minute — and they won by a point. One point. Can Indiana win? Sure. As Calipari said Tuesday, they already have. But a similar confluence of factors would have to occur for a repeat result in the Sweet 16. And I don’t see that happening.
“Atlanta wasn’t like that because they have a pro team, so there’s not as much hype on college teams,” he said. Grimes believes UK students should be UK fans — and especially not U of L fans. “I believe the people who wear U of L shirts around campus are jealous their team’s not as good as UK,” he said. “They should be wearing blue, not red. Water always puts out fire.” Grimes admitted he once lost a bet and had to wear a U of L shirt on campus for a day and have his photo taken. When asked if he would be caught dead in that U of
L shirt again, Grimes replied, “probably cutting grass or something. Or cleaning gutters.” Meagen Corley, a journalism freshman, wasn’t raised around basketball, but is on her way to becoming a huge UK fan. “I was deprived,” she said, “but I’m learning more about basketball and becoming more and more of a fan each day because I’m around it every day, and all my friends are huge fans.” She said that even on spring break, people often did the C-A-T-S cheer. “You can’t get away from it,” Corley said. “There’s nothing like a Wildcat fan.”

You can be forgiven for puzzling over the first 30 minutes of “People v. The State of Illusion.” An odd blend of documentary, drama and motivational speech, the question “What are they trying to sell me here?” leaps to mind more than once. It’s a self-help movie, sort of a self-actualization project built around changing our way of perceiving ourselves. Think of it as a “What the Bleep Do We Know?” that goes lighter on the messy metaphysics, a Billy Graham docudrama that doesn’t end with an altar call. Lawyer/ motivational speaker/ yoga instructor Austin Vickers made this, and narrates, infomercial style, interjecting his thoughts on both the melodrama used as an object lesson in the movie’s message and the thoughts of the lineup of experts, many of them authors dominating the fuzzy logic side of the self-help best seller lists — “The Molecules of Emotion,” “Evolve Your Brain” and the like. Vickers uses the story of “Aaron Roberts” (actor J.D. Tuttle) as his teaching tool here, a recreation of a DUI accident that killed someone and Roberts’ slow,
prison-driven acceptance of responsibility for that accident thanks to a Gandhi-quoting janitor (Michael McCormick) who stops by his cell. Those sequences are feebly written and poorly integrated into the whole. Authors and psychologists give testimony about how changing the reality, the way you see the world, will set you free and make you accept the things that are part of your lot in life. You’ll stop blaming others and break down the “literal and figurative prison walls” of your life, Vickers & Co. preach. It’s a squishy subject to try and get your mind around, much less convey in a movie. But with every cadenza in its laughably over-dramatic score, every confident, selfsatisfied appearance by Vickers, “People v. The State of Illusion” attempts to convince us and convince itself that it is actually saying something. At least it pays lip service to personal accountability, to how stress impacts everything from health to marriage. But as we wander from here to there, it’s hard to fight off the sneaking suspicion there’s no “there” there. MCT
