Cats lose to No. 1-seeded UConn Huskies; end season 28-7 By Les Johns ljohns@kykernel.com
KINGSTON, R.I. — The Connecticut Huskies defeated UK Hoops 80-65 Tuesday night to end the Cats’ season
Fans do anything for game UK’s Final Four game Saturday against the University of Louisville has fans doing anything they can for a ticket. One example is a UK fan on craigslist wanting to trade tickets for sex with his wife, which CBSSports.com reported Tuesday. “She can make you speak five languages you never knew you could speak,” he wrote in his listing. “Have at it and let me see my UK Wildcats!!!!!!!!!!!!” The fan out of Charlotte, N.C., said the reason he couldn’t offer himself is because he’s not “feeling his best,” so he has to use his “sexy mama” to get him there. Prostitution is illegal in North Carolina, as is providing transportation for anyone knowing they are committing the crime. Kentucky law states prostitution is “when one engages or agrees or offers to engage in sexual conduct with another person in return for a fee.” Another incident in Georgetown, Ky., had two dialysis patients fighting over the game with middle fingers and strong words, WKYT reported. Police got involved to settle them down.

The Board of Trustees approved a yearly evaluation of President Eli Capilouto on Tuesday to examine his strategic vision for the university. Board Chairman Britt Brockman said it would be used to evaluate Capilouto’s success. The motion was approved by 19 members. Trustee Irina Voro was the only trustee to oppose the motion. “We feel it’s time to change the process of which we evaluate the president,” Brockman said. “The new process … would encompass many more constituency groups.” There will be 20 to 30 confidential interviews with representatives from groups including Student Government, University and Staff Senates, the Alumni Association, elected officials and donors. The interviews will be conducted by the board’s Executive Committee, and will focus on: • University strategy and priorities — Has the president effectively worked with key constituents to identify the current reality the university faces? Has he articulated his priorities and explained the rationale? • Leadership — How effective is the president in creating a learning environment that reinforces UK’s values, and is he effectively leading the organization in executing these? • Organization and team — Is
the president working to design an organization that will produce strategic and operational execution? • Relationship with constituencies — Has the president established a relationship with the Board that allows the Board to contribute to UK’s advancement, and has he engaged constituencies? • Financial management — Is the president managing the institution’s resources while incorporating the financial goals? • Fundraising — Is the president committed to raising funds for the university, and does he have the skills necessary to succeed? • Future consideration — Has the president made it so the university will progress in the next year, three years and five years? The evaluation should be completed by the June Board meeting. Brockman said the president’s contract provides for potential performance bonuses based on the results of the evaluation. However, Capilouto said that regardless of the results, he would turn down any bonus, according to a news release. Trustee Sheila Brothers commended the people who worked on the plan and said she thinks “it’s a wonderful step forward.” Housing update Angie Martin, UK’s treasurer and vice president of finance, updated the Board of Trustees on the student housing development.

Brewing own beer ‘easy and rewarding’ By Thomas M. Jasper news@kykernel.com
For most college students, the only thing they have brewing is trouble, but for two UK students the only thing brewing is alcohol. Adam Green, a marketing senior, first heard about home brewing while working at a restaurant in his hometown. The restaurant sold local home brewers’ special beer recipes. His interest in concocting his own brew grew and ultimately led him to start brewing about a year ago after receiving a kit as a gift. “I figured, hey, I like beer and it would probably be cheaper and kind of cool to make it on my own,” Green said. Green brews beer while his roommate, Christopher Martorana, a communication and Spanish senior, brews wine. For beginner home brewers of beer there are two processes: extract brewing and all-grain brewing. PHOTO BY QUIANNA LIGE | STAFF Green decided to use the extract brewing process, saying that it is Roommates Christopher Martorana, left, and Adam Green pose for a photo in their apartment, where they brew their own wine easier for beginners and less time and beer.

The university has also been looking at property taxes, outstanding debt, and the building and demolition schedule. UK Beyond Coal Earlier on Tuesday, UK Beyond Coal met with the Board finance subcommittee to discuss incorporating solar energy as well as signing the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment. Elaine Alvey spoke on behalf of the group, asking the Board to consider making changes. ”I think the board was really open to hearing what we had to say,” Alvey said. She said the trustees had a lot of questions and seemed to want to be a part of the conversation. Patrick Johnson, another a member of the group, also thinks the trustees were receptive. In October the group spoke in front of the Board,
asking them to consider using geothermal energy by looking at Ball State University’s geothermal plan. The university is now including geothermal energy in the new Haggin Field dorms. Now, the group is asking the university to look at the University of Toledo and its solar capabilites, Johnson said. Its members are also asking the university to sign the ACUPC, like other universi-
ties in the state, such as the University of Louisville, Centre College and Northern Kentucky University, have. He said the commitment means the university acknowledges that global climate change is real, and universities play a role in it. Johnson said the university is “entrenched in the coal industry,” but students are starting to see its “cozy relationship” with the industry.

‘Larger Than Life’ affectionate The affectionate, entertaining documentary “Carol Channing: Larger Than Life” follows a nonagenarian entertainer whose name might not mean much to viewers under 30. With her nasal voice, saucer eyes and famously red lips, Channing found success on Broadway, first in “Gentleman Prefer Blondes” (in the role later immortalized by Marilyn Monroe onscreen), and then as the title character in “Hello, Dolly” (a part she originated in 1964 and then played again in two separate Broadway revivals, in 1978 and 1995). When we meet her in the film, she is still spry and cheerful, and on her fourth marriage, this time to Harry Kullijian, a childhood sweetheart whom she didn’t reconnect with until she was in her 80s. (Kullijian died of a stroke last year, about seven months after this documentary premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.) Directed by Dori Berinstein, “Carol Channing: Larger than Life” is cut from a similar cloth as 2010’s “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work”; they are both portraits of women for whom performing is as natural, and as essential to their survival, as breathing. This film doesn’t have the psychological insight and underlying pathos that made the Rivers doc so powerful. Channing occasionally touches on the dark side of the show-business life — mentioning, for instance, that she didn’t think she was a very good mother to her only son,

the political cartoonist Chan Lowe — but Berinstein chooses not to dig too deeply. The specifics of Channing’s tempestuous, possibly abusive third marriage, to her former publicist and manager Charles Lowe, also remain obscured. But as Berinstein follows Channing from benefit performance rehearsals to speaking gigs, and interviews friends and contemporaries, the film becomes both an indelible time capsule and a lovely swan song. Like Debbie Reynolds, JoAnne Worley, Phyllis Diller and Betty Garrett (to name but a few of the folks we also meet here), Channing was one of a generation of funny, brassy women whose golden era, on variety programs and game shows and in Broadway revues, is now a distant memory; women who wanted nothing more (or less) than the opportunity to entertain a crowd. (Garrett also passed away shortly after completing interviews for this film.) At one point, we watch Channing in New York City, as she chats with a trio of chorus boys from the musical “Memphis.” Effusing over the “privilege” of being on the Broadway stage, she goes on to say of the audience: “We should pay them.” It’s a sentiment one senses the likes of Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson or any other of this generation’s glamour girls couldn’t even begin to process.

BREWING Continued from page 1 “I saw how much money (Green) was saving by making his own booze,” Martorana said. “I chose wine because I didn’t want to copy him. Plus, it makes me seem more sophisticated.” As for making batches of wine, Martorana said “the brewing process is similar in that it takes time, patience, the appropriate ingredients and most importantly, clean and sanitized equipment.” He said though it doesn’t have quite as many steps as brewing beer, it takes about three to four months to make a batch of wine. While Green and Martorana brew different types of alcohol, both use the same basic equipment that can easily be found online. The Brewing Basics Equipment Kit came from midwestsupplies.com and supplies the various fermenters, buckets, cleansers, meters for measuring alcohol content and temperature, and bottling tools required to make batches of beer or wine. For those interested in brewing their own beer or wine, Green and Martorana suggest visiting homebrewtalk.com to learn more about the processes. Martorana said it’s an easy process. “The process of making it

He said people can make some alcohol, just as long as they don’t sell it without a license. Green said that really anyone can brew his or her own beer and that “it’s easy and rewarding — especially to be able to share my creations
with my family and friends.” “I would just recommend that people who try it don’t give up if you think you messed up. I thought I really screwed up a batch but it ended up being my best one yet,” Green said. “No matter what, you will always end up with beer.”

from the front page HOOPS Continued from page 1 onds of the half, to go into the locker room with a 41-39 lead over the Cats. UConn went on an extended 21-5 run mid-way through the second half, giving it firm control of the game. The Cats were frustrated by the Huskies’ zone on the offensive end, shooting 8-for-31 (25.8 percent) from the field in the second half. “That is the result of my inability to help our players handle big physical zones,” Mitchell said. “Connecticut plays it better than anyone. They are so physical and tough. Big, physical zones
have hurt us this year and that is something I need to get better on in the offseason. I thought our players gave a great effort and worked extremely hard.” Defensively, the Cats fouled too often, committing 13 fouls in the second half — leading to 19-for-22 free throw shooting for UConn. The Cats were led in scoring by sophomore Samarie Walker, who scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds. Walker also made the Kingston Regional All-Tournament Team. “We’ve had an incredible season,” Walker said. “The coach never doubted us.” Seniors Keyla Snowden, Amber
Smith and Crystal Riley finished their careers with the loss. Snowden struggled from the field, connecting on 2-of-12 field goal attempts for seven points. “I’m sad that we didn’t succeed in hitting our goal. I’m so proud of the team. Just being part of Big Blue Nation — I’m just so happy about all the fans that have supported us during the season,” Snowden said. “I felt like we kept fighting until the end. We’ve accomplished so much this year.” Smith scored nine points, connecting on 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. “I don’t feel like we should have lost that game. We just couldn’t hit shots,” Smith said. “We lost focus.”

UK baseball routs W. Kentucky 7-4 Cats win this matchup for first time in 5 years By David Schuh dschuh@kykernel.com
The UK baseball team fought back from an early deficit to beat Western Kentucky 7-4 Tuesday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium. The Cats got some timely hitting and relief pitching to hold off WKU, which had won this matchup four years in a row, to improve to 25-1, 5-1 in the SEC. “I was here when we got beat 20-something to seven,” senior Michael Williams said. “I always like to put it to them, but they have a great club and it’s an honor to beat them.” The Hilltoppers came out hot in the first inning off of UK freshman starter Chandler Shepherd. A walk to the second batter of the game was followed by a two-run home run by WKU left fielder Ryan Hutchinson. But with a runner on second and one out, sophomore J.T.

Next Game
Cats at the center of attention, but they’re focused on games Calipari telling players not to think about a national title AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
The fans wait outside the Wildcat Lodge to get autographs — and tell players to beat Louisville. The students approach them on campus to take pictures — and tell players to beat Louisville. The attention UK’s players receive on a normal basis has only been amplified by a certain upcoming game against a certain rival. “It’s a lot more intense,” Marquis Teague said of the fans’ fervor during the week leading into the Final Four game against Louisville. It’s been enough, at times, to interrupt basic functions like eating. Doron
Lamb said he and Teague were out eating at IHOP a few weeks ago and, while they were waiting for their food, were subject to fans taking pictures of them as they conversed. “We had to leave,” Lamb said. The glaring spotlight is only heating up for the UK players, though, and the players are focused on staying steady as they prepare — and then get to — New Orleans. “We’ve just been trying to downplay it,” Teague said, “and take it like we normally do.” That might seem hard at first. The players have 20 minutes of interviews on Thursday and 30 more minutes Friday. Stories and videos about their championship chase will saturate the Internet, and let’s face it — they are on the Internet. They
know the talk is out there, and if they didn’t, the fans would remind them. Then again, UK has been at the epicenter of college basketball all season. “We’ve been through it all at this point,” Darius Miller said. Maybe not everything. The Final Four is a beast unto itself. Head coach John Calipari said one player came into his office in the days following their Elite Eight victory and said he couldn’t stop thinking about wanting to win the national title. Wrong thought process. “You can’t think that way,” Calipari said. “Forget about the title. We’ve got a basketball game to play Saturday. Just worry about that.” To further combat the hype, Calipari is trying to insulate the team. He finished up players’ ticket requests on Sunday. He’s not letting anyone else — not friends, not family — stay on the same floor as the team in the media hotel. He plans on bringing five security people to
New Orleans. “We’re handling it like we should be,” Calipari said. Part of that may be because UK didn’t handle it right last season. There wasn’t anything specific Calipari could point to, but he clearly saw something wrong with the Cats in their loss to Connecticut. He said the players had wide eyes to start the game and never fully recovered. “Something got us off kilter,” Calipari said. That experience, however, may help this time around. Miller, Lamb and Terrence Jones have been through the week of lead-up and should better know how to handle the attention. And they, Calipari said, will be entrusted with informing the freshmen of how they should approach the gameinside-the-game of preparing for Saturday. “I’ve got to get these guys in that frame of mind,” Calipari said, “because you just want them letting loose and playing.”

Remember to stay classy during Final Four mayhem The basketball gods have answered Kentuckians’ prayers. By some stroke of fate, the UK Cats and the Louisville Cardinals have both advanced to the Final Four and will face off in AMELIA what some are calling the ORWICK biggest game in NCAA Contributing Tournament history. As if you need to be columnist reminded. Campus has been buzzing with excitement since UK’s win over Baylor, and rightfully so. Never before and, most likely, never again, will students have the opportunity to witness a national championship run like this. Although the Cats have been chosen as the favorite in Saturday’s game, there’s no denying that the Cardinals are going to show up big in
New Orleans. With a rivalry as heated as ours and a national championship on the line, fierce competition is practically guaranteed. That being said, I want to emphasize how important it is for UK students, faculty and fans in general to conduct themselves appropriately before, during and after Saturday’s game. Win or lose, there will be plenty of opportunity for rowdy behavior. I encourage everyone to enjoy the contest, but I also hope that our fans will remember that they are representing not only UK, but the city of Lexington and the state of Kentucky. By now everyone has heard about the couch-burning and breast-revealing that took place in Lexington following our victory on Saturday. There’s just something about tournament time that makes everyone a little bit crazy. I can imagine that Lexington police and firefighters are preparing for madness of even greater magnitude following the Final Four
game. Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites are already exploding with comments about the match. I’ve learned that fans will express their love for the Cats in any way they can. And obviously there is no shortage of outlets for them to do so. Unfortunately, fun is sometimes had at the expense of our university’s dignity. When students behave drunkenly in the streets and make snide marks about U of L, they may not realize their actions reflect poorly on our school, city and state. The media documents much of this foolery to be shared with others and I’m sure that not everyone is as impressed with our means of celebration or comments about the upcoming game as we are. You may already be shaking your head and dubbing me “Negative Nancy,” but let me finish. I was raised a die-hard UK fan and despise U of L as much as anyone else on this campus.
On Saturday, you’ll find me making jabs at the brave U of L fans who dare to enter Lexington, yelling at the TV screen (Calipari-style) and going wild somewhere on State Street after the game. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I’m certainly going to embrace it. However, I plan to do so respectfully. There are lines that shouldn’t be crossed, and as college students we should be mature enough to recognize them. I urge everyone to focus on cheering the Cats to victory this weekend, rather than talking smack about Rick Pitino and Peyton Siva. No matter the outcome, I know that my basketball team, my university and my city are superior. People love to hate UK. I’ve always chalked it up to jealousy. Let’s give everyone one more reason to be envious: a big, humble fan base that beats any other in college basketball. Amelia Orwick is a journalism sophomore. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

Cats fans ready to transform
New Orleans Use this travel guide to find things to do and how to get there By Luke Glaser lglaser@kykernel.com
The 2009 Disney film “The Princess and the Frog” finished with the line, “Dreams do come true in New Orleans.” UK head coach John Calipari and company hope to find that true. With a victory over Baylor on Sunday, the Cats advance to their second Final Four in two years. This year’s matchup is particularly notable, as UK will be going up against longtime archrival Louisville. History will be made in the commonwealth, but for those of you heading down to the Big Easy, the Kernel’s got you covered. The Game Not much can be said that hasn’t been said about the rivalry between UK and Louisville. The deep-seated animosity between
these two teams will reach unprecedented levels, though, when they meet in the Final Four. The history between the Cats and the Cardinals is as long as it is hostile. The rivalry was relatively dormant until the two teams met in the 1983 Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament, which brought a resurgence of the annual game that is played today. (Louisville won that
game 80-68.) UK currently leads the modern series 20-11. UK and Louisville will tip off at approximately 6:09 p.m. at the MercedesBenz Superdome in New Orleans. Getting to New Orleans Getting to the Big Easy may not be as easy as UK’s previous tournament cities. According to Google Maps, the trip takes approximately 12 hours by car. Travelers will take I-65 south to Birmingham, Ala., (approximately 406 miles) and I-59 south to New Orleans (approximately 344 miles). Fans should plan on leaving Friday afternoon at the latest, if driving. The average cost of gasoline in the southeast is currently $3.81, according to AAA. Round trip, the cost of gasoline for an average sedan will be about $236. Traveling in an SUV will raise fuel costs to about $405. Currently, hotwire.com places a round-trip
flight from Lexington to New Orleans and back at $1,450. Fans able to do so can fly out of Louisville and return through Southwest Airlines for less than $1,000, depending on departure and arrival times. Stuff To Do Fans confident enough to
buy ticket packages for the Final Four and championship game will have plenty to do in the downtime between basketball. The National World War II Museum is located on the corner of Andrew Higgins Boulevard and Magazine Street. The Higgins boat, invented by Andrew Higgins and made famous during the D-Day landings, was invente d i n
New Orleans, so the city was made the home of the national museum. The mission of the museum, which is affiliated with the Smithsonian, is to “tell the story of the American experience,” according to its website. The museum goes in chronological order, and special exhibits include a focus on the Normandy invasion and a 4-D movie experience called “Beyond All Boundaries,” narrated by Tom Hanks. The museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. Its website recommends that visitors allot two to three hours to tour the galleries. Students can pay $9 to tour the museum or pay $12 for the museum and the 4D movie. The French Quarter, New Orleans’ historic district, is also home to some of the liveliest entertainment in the Crescent City. Attractions include Saint Louis Cathedral and the many bars and restaurants of Bourbon Street and Jackson Square. Be sure to stop by Cafe du Monde for a world-famous beignet (and, unlike many world-fa-

mous claims, these are actually world-famous). According to the New Orleans Code of Ordinances, drinking out of open containers is legal in the French Quarter (one of the few places in the U.S.
where this is allowed). That said, be responsible and enjoy. Hanging out with the Cats While there is no official alumni chapter in New Orleans, the UK Alumni Association will be celebrating the Final Four with an official Pregame Party. The event will include a New Orleans-style buffet, live music and UK giveaways. It will take place at the Sheraton at 500 Canal St. in the French Quarter (across the street from the official team hotel).
The cost to attend is $30 for members of the Alumni Association and $35 for nonmembers who preregister. A certain amount of walk-ups may be admitted for $40, space permitting. Those interested in attending can visit the website ebsportstours.com/teams/finalfour.html or call the UK Alumni Association at 859257-7161. Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog,” encourages viewers through song to “grab your paintbrush, we’re paintin’ the town.” UK fans are happy to do so, though they will only be bringing one color. See you in Blue Orleans.
