UK Hoops Elite Eight Cats face seven-time national champion UConn
A friendly rivalry
Provost accepts UMass position UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy accepted a position Monday evening to be the chancellor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The Board of Trustees for the university voted unanimously for Subbaswamy, according to a UMass news release. There were four other candidates. “Moments like this define who we are as a University, what our values are, and what our vision is for ourselves and for the people of the Commonwealth,” UMass President Roberty Caret said in the release. “With that thought in mind, I am proud to recommend Dr. Kumble SubSubbaswamy baswamy — a man who has devoted his life to pursuing excellence, to opening doors and to serving others.” Subbaswamy has been provost at UK since 2006. In an email sent to campus, President Eli Capilouto said “it is not surprising that an exemplary university such as UMass Amherst would want someone of Swamy’s caliber to be at the helm. “He is, quite simply, an outstanding scholar and administrator. We have been fortunate to have him as part of our community for so much of his career.” Subbaswamy will formally begin at UMass as chancellor on July 1, Capilouto’s email said. In January, Subbaswamy was one of two finalists for the presidency position at the University of Utah. He was one of two finalists for a top position at Iowa State in September, and runner-up for a position at the University of Illinois in 2010. UK spokesman Jay Blanton said Capilouto ultimately selects or hires the next provost and will inform campus in the next few days of the transitions and process that will be involved in selecting a new provost.

FRANKFORT — The Final Four may be dividing Kentucky, but the presidents of UK and U of L united Monday. UK President Eli Capilouto and U of L President James Ramsey met in Frankfort
to discuss what the Final Four means for the state, and the talk wasn’t all serious. The presidents said they hope this will be an opportunity to give the state and their universities attention. “I’m new to Kentucky,” Capilouto said, but he likes seeing the “eyes of the nation” focus on the state for not only ath-
McAlister’s Deli opens near UK Restaurant, known for its sweet tea, located in Chevy Chase By Rob Ellery news@kykernel.com
McAlister’s Deli is the latest addition to the Chevy Chase area on Euclid Avenue. The deli, which opened on Monday, offers a variety of foods. “It’s a southern deli with a wonderful extra appeal,” said manager Faith Hanaway. “We have fantastically huge salads, sandwiches, spuds and our famous sweet tea —we have tea freaks across the country who love to come and get our tea.” After orders are placed at the counter, the staff deliver the food to tables, refill drinks and clear the table once guests leave.
Claire Hager, a Spanish sophomore, said she enjoys what McAlister’s has to offer. “I really like the sandwiches and spuds,” she said. “The sweet tea is awesome.” Chelsea Smith, an elementary education sophomore, said McAlister’s is a good choice. “I think it’s really healthy,” she said. “It’s a good lunch.” Hanaway said popular menu items include the sweet tea, the McAlister’s Club and spuds. “Our spuds (potatoes) are famous,” she said. “They’re huge and loaded — about the size of an 11-inch platter.” Some students are familiar with the See DELI on page 2

UK’s budget may be reduced State legislation could mean $20 million loss for university
Former President Lee Todd helped cut down the net in Atlanta after the Cats beat Baylor to advance to the Final Four. President Eli Capilouto saw Todd, who had tickets to the game, and invited him to cut down the net, UK spokesman Jay Blanton said. “Dr. Todd was very instrumental to the success of the program,” Blanton said, by hiring both Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart and men’s basketball head coach John Calipari. Capilouto thought Todd “should share in the success he helped create,” Blanton said.

In an email sent to campus on Monday, President Eli Capilouto said UK’s operating budget could be reduced by 6.4 percent, which is nearly $20 million, starting July 1. The budgets adopted by both the House and Senate would authorize $175 million “to move forward with our ambitious plans to construct new residence halls throughout the campus,” the email said. However, UK would not be authorized to borrow $200 million to repay with new construction rev-

enues. “Nothing is more critical to that future, in my judgment, than this university — an institution educating Kentucky’s brightest students and undertaking research and service that can transform our state and world,” Capilouto said in the email. He said there are differences in the House and Senate’s versions of the budget, so it is likely they will reach a compromise in the next several days.

Hanaway said she encourages people to check out the new location. “It’s a family spot, it’s a destination spot,” Hanaway said. “It’s fast, casual dining.

that athletics are a window to the universities. When the talk turned to basketball, one reporter asked Capilouto, “Does UK deserve to be on the same court as U of L?” Capilouto responded with one word and a smile. “Yes.” Earlier on Monday, the mayors of Lexington and Louisville placed a friendly wager on the game. “We’ll think about it,” Capilouto said. Gov. Steve Beshear also joined in the conversation. “How ‘bout this?” Beshear said about the university presidents meeting on the Capitol veranda. “I saw you two out
here and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity,” he said. Beshear said he was “betting on the state of Kentucky” to win and did not reveal which team he would be supporting. “Think of the attention this is bringing to the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” he said. Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson will both be heading to New Orleans to watch the games. When Beshear was asked if he, as a graduate of UK, and Abramson, a former Louisville mayor, are a house divided, Beshear laughed and said the two may have to take turns sitting on each side during the game Saturday. “We can’t lose because someone from Kentucky is going to be in the final game,” he said.

Independent films have victories LOS ANGELES — “The Hunger Games” may have had blockbuster levels of success at the box office over the weekend, but some independent films managed to carve out their own smaller victories. The most notable was that of “The Raid: Redemption,” an action film that has generated buzz on the festival circuit since premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall. The movie debuted in 14 theaters this weekend and collected $220,937, according to an estimate from distributor Sony Pictures Classics. That amounted to a healthy per-location average of $15,781. Produced for around $1 million, “The Raid” was directed by 31-year-old Wales native Gareth Evans, who has since relocated to Indonesia to focus on making martial arts films. The movie tells the story of a special forces team stuck in an apartment building where a crime lord lives, and features silat, an Indonesian martial art. The film has received positive reviews, earning an 86 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes — the same score that weekend winner “The Hunger Games” has.

Meanwhile, Samuel Goldwyn released the antiabortion drama “October Baby” on 390 screens, where it grossed $1.7 million. While that was enough to vault the film into the top 10 highest-grossing pictures of the weekend, it still had only a so-so per-theater average of $4,306. The film follows the story of a young woman who learns her mother initially wanted to abort her but instead gave her up for adoption. The movie’s overall gross is technically $1.9 million now, because the $800,000 film was released last fall in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi because of the support of the conservative American Family Assn. The Mississippi-based organization distributed the film to drum up support for a state antiabortion ballot initiative that later failed. To finance a wider release, filmmaking brother team Jon and Andrew Erwin were able to raise $3 million from investors. To promote the film, its backers screened it for church groups and ran advertisements on networks such as Fox News.

UK Hoops must beat UConn to advance Cats want to reach goal of Final Four for season By Les Johns ljohns@kykernel.com
KINGSTON, R.I. — While UK Hoops works to be dreaded, the Connecticut Huskies flat out beat down their opponents, leading the NCAA in scoring margin at +30.8 per game. UK Hoops will play UConn Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the NCAA Elite Eight (ESPN2), with the winner advancing to the Final Four in Denver, Colo. The Huskies feature a deep and talented roster. They play an eight-to-nine player rotation, with four players averaging in double-digits. Freshman forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Big East Sixth Man of the Year, leads the Huskies with 15 points per game. She has connected for 89 3-pointers this season, hitting 39.2 percent from behind the arc. Senior guard Tiffany Hayes scores 14.8 points per game and sophomore guard Bria Hartley scores 13.8 points per game. Despite having a balanced team that has been led in scoring by six different Huskies through the season, UConn head coach Geno Auriemma said he believes one specific player will have to step up in order for them to advance to the Final Four. “The interesting part for us is to see who does take on that role. Somebody will (step up) and if they don’t then we’re not going to win. That’s what this game is all about Tuesday night,” Auriemma said. “It’s just a matter of one or two kids that are going to wake up Tuesday morning and they’re going to have a great moment and that team’s going to the Final Four.” UConn runs a crisp offense, ranking third in the nation in field-goal percentage at 47.7 percent and second in assists per game at 18.8. The Huskies have yet to be tested in the NCAA tournament, winning their three games on the way to the Elite Eight by an average of
33.3 points. The Huskies have been to four-straight and 12 total NCAA Final Fours. UConn has won seven National Championships.
Examples of UConn’s scoring UConn 77 Holy Cross 37. UConn 112 Pacific 53. UConn 72 College of Charleston 24. UConn 96 Providence 35. UConn 72 Kansas State 26.
“Anyone who says it (a Connecticut mystique) doesn’t exist is living in la-la land. Connecticut has earned the mystique,” UK head coach Matthew Mitchell said. “Con-
necticut has a mystique because they have great players and a great coach that coaches them in an excellent fashion.” The Cats will have to defeat the team with that mystique if they want to fulfill the season-long goal of reaching the Final Four. “I felt like this team could get to a Final Four, so every day is spent trying to work hard. It would mean a tremendous amount for us to get to the Final Four,” Mitchell said. “We believe it’s going to happen one day and we’re going to work like the devil to make it happen Tuesday night.” Mitchell elaborated on the Cats’ Final Four dreams. “Outside our locker room there’s a picture of the Final Four logo in Denver,” he said. “We didn’t put an Elite Eight goal on our season, we made a Final Four goal.”

letter to the editor
Demonstrated leaders, Bilas-Kington deserve SG vote This letter is a response to the March 26 editorial titled “Staples, Wimberly qualified, innovative candidates.” In the upcoming elections, I find myself in a difficult position. I know each TAYLOR of the main candidates well COX and consider each a friend. Guest However, given careful columnist consideration of both the Bilas-Kington and StaplesWimberly tickets, Stephen Bilas and Mary Katherine Kington emerge as the candidates best suited for the roles of student body president and vice president. Having served as the president of a large Greek organization (Phi Delta Theta fraternity) and a small, non-Greek organization (Student Development Council), in addition to my involvement in organizations across campus, including the acoUstiKats and the K Book Editorial Board, I understand the various issues that face our diverse student body. Given these considerations, I strongly support Bilas and Kington in the upcoming election. First, consider the experience of both candidates. Bilas has extensive experience in the executive branch of Student Government across multiple administrations, which is an invaluable experience for a president-elect. Bilas began his SG service by participating in the Freshman Leadership Development Program, ultimately helping organize a suc-
cessful campaign in his first year. During his sophomore year, Bilas served as the Student Government comptroller, a position requiring oversight of the entire SG budget — at the time, more than $500,000. This year of service with direct control of the financial operations of the executive branch — a group often criticized for its bigticket expenses — has fostered an attitude of fiscal responsibility and pragmatism that will define the Bilas-Kington administration. This past year, Bilas served as the chief of staff for current President Micah Fielden’s administration, observing and facilitating the day-to-day operations of the administration and developing significant relationships with current members of the UK administration, Board of Trustees and SEC members of the national Board of Student Body Presidents. Simply put, there is no individual on UK’s campus with better experience than Stephen Bilas, and this experience will translate into a highly effective administration. While Bilas has extensive experience in the executive branch, Kington has spent her three undergraduate years becoming deeply rooted in SG’s legislative branch. During her time on UK senate, she has served as the chairman of the Academic and Student Affairs Committee and vice-chair of the Appropriations and Revenue Committee, managing all legislation impacting the student body and helping disperse more than $100,000 in grants to UK student organizations, respectively. While she has had a distinguished career as a UK senator, she has also maintained cross-campus connections through her
involvement in UK Leadership Summit. As the student body vice president maintains a close relationship with the Senate, Kington will be perfectly suited to fill this role in addition to her responsibilities within the executive branch. Bilas and Kington have distinguished their ticket through their selection of college and atlarge senators. In the past, the senator selection process has been criticized by some as a method of “buying votes” from the various constituencies on campus. To avoid this, Bilas and Kington sought out senators who were deeply involved with their college and who were prepared to discuss how they, individually, could work to serve the students within their colleges and constituencies. In fact, before any senator joined the Bilas-Kington ticket, he or she was required to highlight prior service to the college and outline plans for the upcoming year, if elected. The careful, purposeful selection process for senators is a prime example of the teamcentered, goal-oriented approach that Bilas and Kington have taken during the entire election process. Finally, consider the candidates’ stated platform. Where past administrations have pushed large, costly projects through the Senate approval process and into action, Bilas and Kington have other plans for their administration. Before developing another big-ticket project like TallyCats or the Cats Cruiser, Bilas plans to carefully examine the effectiveness and operations of each of the three main proj-
ects developed by the past three administrations: TallyCats, Cats Cruiser and the Wildcat Interest Group. Where improvements need to be made, Bilas and Kington will act in the necessary and appropriate manner to limit financial waste, while maximizing the benefits each of these programs have for the student body as a whole. Simply put, we do not need another hastily formed $250,000 project from SG. What we do need is an administration focused on how SG can most effectively serve the students, rather than an administration interested in making its mark through a bloated, expensive program that may or may not succeed. After examining the efficiency of these large programs, they will turn their attention to closer financial management of SG promotional and advertising budgets, opening more resources for direct student services in the upcoming months and years. Bilas-Kington are not the only two individuals running for president and vice president in the upcoming elections, but they are certainly the most qualified and best-prepared candidates in this year’s field. Based on their mutual records of integrity and efficient leadership, both will thrive as the leaders of our student body and will serve as the best representation of our great university.

Calipari doesn’t want team to think differently about this week’s game Insists playing U of L doesn’t change the experience AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
UK will play 40 minutes of basketball for a shot at a national championship. Those 40 minutes are rooted in the physical, but for this game, the mental aspect will be just as important. While everything may look familiar on the surface — a city they’ve just seen, an opponent they know quite well — it’s cloaked in a different environment. UK may have just played in New Orleans a few weeks ago, but the Cats will be playing in a different building this week. The games will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, across the street from New Orleans Arena, site of the SEC Tournament. The expansive dome will provide a new look for UK. Unlike the Georgia Dome, the court will be in the center of the field, meaning lots of negative space between the backboard and the crowd. And the court will be raised, something Calipari has cited multiple times in the past week as a factor in the game. Last year, UK played in a similar environment at Reliant Stadium, another football stadium in which the
court was in the middle on a raised court. In that Final Four game, UK shot 33.9 percent and made 4 of 12 free throws. The Cats’ offensive struggles prevented them from advancing despite holding Connecticut to 56 points. Calipari wants to get more shooting preparation this season to get his team accustomed to the different sight lines. “I think you’ve got to get in there and do as much shooting as you can do,” Calipari said. “Last year I didn’t realize that.” Last year was also a different team. Calipari said the Cats “weren’t at our best, and I don’t know why” against Connecticut after having great games leading up to the Final Four. But looking back at his reaction from last year might provide a clearer answer. “The lights got bright the last game for them,” Calipari said last April as he reflected on the Final Four run. That could still be a concern. UK does have three key players who have been there before, but it also has four key players who have not. And unlike the quick turnaround between games such as the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight, when players have almost literally no time to think about the stage they’re on, the Cats have an entire week to marinate in the
pre-Final Four atmosphere. Which is why Calipari is trying to make this game seem as unlike a Final Four as possible. He’s calling on his trusty “every game is a Super Bowl” mantra, and you can’t get any bigger than the Super Bowl, even if that Super Bowl is in the national semifinals, right? He maintained that this game will be no different than any other game. The other team will give the Cats their best shot. Now is the time that this mentality, one he’s been preaching all year, helps. “This team has been steady all year,” Calipari said. “They don’t get rattled.” Still, his team got rattled last year. Could it happen this year, especially with the added component of playing UK’s biggest rival on the biggest stage? Calipari insisted playing Louisville doesn’t make the experience any different than any other opponent. “Win or lose, you’re going to feel the same whether it’s a team you played before or never seen in your life,” Calipari said. “(Whether it’s) a team that’s 12 miles from you or a team that’s a thousand miles from you.” He just has to try and get his players thinking the same way. “With the Internet and the social media and all that stuff, you can’t keep anything away from them,” Calipari said. “What you hope is they understand (that), for us, we’re worried about us playing as well as we can.”
