Randle denies ESPN report that he will declare for NBA Draft Freshman forward Julius Randle has refuted ESPN’s Jeff Goodman's report that he has declared for the NBA Draft. Goodman reported the news on Wednesday, citing multiple unnamed sources. UK Athletics spokesman John Hayden said he can’t
confirm any decision on Randle’s draft status. Randle denied that any decision had been made minutes after ESPN’s report surfaced. “I haven't made up my mind about the draft yet,” Randle said on his Twitter account, @JRANDLE_30. “Haven’t even talked to my
family about it. So it’s all false.” Randle is projected as a Top 10 pick by several draft projection outlets. He averaged 15.0 points and 10.4 rebounds in 40 games this season while earning 27 double-doubles. In six NCAA Tournament
games, Randle averaged 14.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game with four double-doubles. He was held to 10 points and six rebounds in the National Championship game against UConn.

Community gathers Wednesday to honor those from UK who have died By Matt Overing movering@kykernel.com
Wednesday was a day full of warmth and bright sunlight on campus, but some students, alumni, faculty and staff stopped to remember the lives of those that could not enjoy the beautiful day. They celebrated lives that were lost in the last year at UK Remembers in the Student Center botanical garden. President Eli Capilouto spoke at the event, one that memorialized friends and coworkers. “I am always touched by how this community comes together to hold each other tight, hold families together,
through some of the most difficult moments one can imagine at a time of loss,” Capilouto said. The event brought together members of the community and university. Some people that were walking by stopped to listen to speakers or Paws and Listen, an a cappella group from UK’s School of Music. Student Government President Roshan Palli also spoke at the event. “Everyone who steps on this campus truly becomes part of something larger,” Palli said. “When we lose one of our own, it is deeply personal. We come here for some of the best years of our lives.”
Rachel Breeding, a medical center employee and Texas A&M graduate, said that events like UK Remembers were common at her alma mater. “We did this on a monthly basis on campus,” Breeding said. “On April 21 each year, we hold Muster.” “Muster” is, according to Breeding, a roll-call for those that died in the year. Breeding said she went to UK Remembers to honor her coworker, Dr. Joseph Pulliam. Pulliam was a pathologist at UK HealthCare. “He loved UK, he loved the hospital, he was full of life. He’s not here to do that anymore,” Breeding said. “Those
of us that are here together wanted to do that for him. We wanted to be able to live for him.” Capilouto said that those lost are immortalized through who they touched. “We are reminded of the legacies of those who have passed, those who are no longer with us, but who are held deeply in our hearts, mind and spirit,” Capilouto said. “We carry on, united by our memories of them and strengthened by the immortality of their influence. When the sun has set for our loved ones, the indelible imprint they leave on each of us, our university, is a remarkable example of an everlasting legacy.”
When UK’s season ended on Monday night, the focus shifted from what the team did to what the players will do. Before the Cats had even taken off their jerseys, many were asked what their plans were for next year. For some, a return to Lexington is inevitable. For others, the decision has become complicated. But for Andrew and Aaron Harrison whose stocked dropped so dramatically throughout a turbulent season, entering June’s NBA Draft would be a big mistake. The general consensus has baffled me. Many people since the Cats’ National Championship defeat have assumed that the Harrison’s would go pro. Sure, they played their best basketball in the postseason. And sure, they have the size and potential to be good pro players in the future. But what hurt them were their first 32 games. Initially projected as lottery picks, Andrew and Aaron Harrison both gradually fell from that pedestal throughout the year. UK’s losses and their consistently inconsistent production dropped them out of most mock drafts. It’s not like they just dropped to the second round. ESPN and DraftExpress, two of the most respected outlets in draft prognostications, said back in January that the twins would go undrafted this year. So even given their recent improvement and Aaron Harrison’s late-game heroics, those same sites haven’t given them much improvement. DraftExpress’ updated mock draft still has neither player taken. ESPN draft ex-
pert Chad Ford has Andrew Harrison listed in his “Next five in” after the Top 30. Aaron Harrison isn’t mentioned. If those mirror the opinion of NBA general managers, which they normally do, there is no reason for either Cat to leave. The NBA Draft is a delicate process. If a player isn’t selected in the first round, he isn’t guaranteed a contract. And the lower in the first round he goes, the cheaper the initial contract will be. All things being equal, someone should never leave school early if all indications are that he isn’t a first round pick. When the money and a roster spot aren’t promised, another year in college could make those question marks disappear.
“
For Andrew and Aaron Harrison ... entering June’s NBA Draft would be a big mistake.” I support freshmen leaving early. As a sure top-5 pick this season and an NBA-ready body, freshman forward Julius Randle should not stay in school. The risk for injury or regression is too high to give up what is sitting on the table already. And there are several other players who will leave UK early this year, and rightfully so. They deserve it. But if the Harrison twins leave school this season, they will probably be second round picks. That’s not enough incentive to make the jump too early. They’ll be ready soon. It just isn’t right now.
UK students building $50,000 solar car By Garrett Pieratt news@kykernel.com
The UK Solar Car Team is hard at work preparing their new solar car, the Gato Del Sol V, or Gato V, for the upcoming American Solar Car Challenge. The Solar Car Team combines mechanical engineering with electrical engineering to create a car that runs completely on solar power. A business team works to secure funding through donations for the team, around $25,000 a year, and coordinate community outreach, said Seth Phelps, business manager for the team. Over the past 11 years, the team has participated in eight races with four different cars. This year, they plan to unveil the Gato V at the American Solar Car Challenge in July. The 2014 American Solar Car Challenge is a 1,700 mile, eight-day event that will take
place across seven states, from Austin, Texas to Minneapolis, Minn., according to the American Solar Car Challenge website, americansolarchallenge.org.
“
It’s giving me a real world application where I can put my hands on it.” ZACH REEDER
Mechanical team leader
The Gato V is the first new solar car the team has built in over four years. They said they have made improvements in cost engineering, Phelps said. The previous generations cost around $300,000, while Gato V cost $50,000.
The team spent the last academic year designing the Gato V and plan to finish fabrication by the end of the semester, team leader Logan Wells said. Mechanical team leader Zach Reeder believes the new design will allow them to be nationally competitive. “This is one of the most ambitious projects we have ever done,” Reeder said. There are two specific and unique advantages that Gato V has, Reeder said. They include a device which acts as a transmission to manually increase torque. The team has also relocated the battery box behind the wheels, allowing the car to break less when turning. Due to recent regulation changes, the team has had to replace all the solar cells on Gato V in order to compete in the American Solar Car Challenge. The team raised money with an Adopt-A-Cell program in order to replace their old cells with new ones that meet

the regulations. When they’re not working on a solar car, the team spends their time traveling to local schools to teach students about engineering as well as promote green energy initiatives. According to Phelps, last fall, the team spent around 300 hours on community outreach and visited 40 schools in 2013. “Outreach is the biggest part of our team,” Phelps said. “We spend a lot of time in the primary school system, educating them about green energy.” Working on the car is a way to expand on what is learned in the classroom, Wells said. “I learned a lot about topics I hadn’t learned in class yet,” he said. “It’s giving a real world application where I can put my hands on it,” Reeder said. “It was a large part of helping me get a co-op at Toyota.”

Campus groups gather to fight discrimination Students raise awareness through historical exhibits By Tala Habbal news@kykernel.com
The student group CATalyst joined hands with hundreds of other UK students this week in the fight against discrimination at the Student Center. This is the fifth year CATalyst has hosted the event on campus, and every year over 200 participants join together in hopes of breaking down the barriers of oppression. CATalyst and five other organizations built interactive exhibits that reflect the struggles that historically oppressed groups endured. The organizations that joined forces to make the event happen are the NAACP, African Student Association, Latino Student Union, Sexperts, UK Center for Community Outreach and the International Student Council. The goal of this exhibit was to shed light on all the different facades of discrimi-
nation and educate the students on joining together as a community in efforts to stand up against it. Students walked from one exhibit to another as each organization illustrated the struggles their community faced through artwork, skits, and interactive games.
“
Being ignorant doesn’t mean you’re stupid, just that you haven’t had the opportunity to be exposed to it.” RUTH GONZALEZ
Latino Student Union member
“Overall, we hope attendees will leave with a sense of understanding and the desire to take part in making the community a safer and fairer
place for all students, said Robert Odom, CATalyst advisor and event coordinator.” Odom said that he hopes the event will help students understand what others go through. “It is designed to help students understand the experience of other students on campus,” he said. “We have international students, we have the Sexperts talking about contraception and a discussion about homelessness — all to educate and impact people in a positive way.” As the exhibit came to a close, students gathered around a table and discussed all they had learned about the history of oppression. “Oppression is something that is done by people who don’t have the facts,” said Ruth Gonzalez, a member of the Latino Student Union. “Being ignorant doesn’t mean you are stupid, just that you haven’t had the opportunity to be exposed to it.”

opinions
Half the population needs half of media representation ELEANOR HASKEN
Kernel columnist
Stock characters used only to diversify a production do minorities no favors. Movies and television not targeted at female audiences sometimes add a token female character to appease the general masses. Last time I checked, women comprised half the population but hold only 30 percent of all speaking roles, according to the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film. The Smurfette principle, also referred to as the Token Minority Principle, is defined by Tvtropes.com as the “tendency for works of fiction to have exactly one female amongst an ensemble of male characters.” Smurfette, the only female “Smurf” in all of Smurfdom, was created by the evil wizard Gargamel in order to undermine the Smurfs. This female character invaded the male Smurf world as a dark-haired lure until Papa Smurf had the kindness and generosity to turn her into a high-heeled blond female capable of living in a world of men. It can be seen in other classics like “Star Wars” — Princess Leia — and “The Muppets” — Miss Piggy. Here you may pause and say this is obviously outdated, that these examples are 30plus years old. I wish, but they are pres-
ent in modern films and television as well. Recently, “Rio 2,” a sequel to the children’s film “Rio,” has only one female in the primary cast. “The Lego Movie” represents the female audience primarily through Elizabeth Banks’ character, Wyldstyle. For films aimed at adults, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” lacks female presence. The inexplicably still produced “Transformers” series has maintained a female love interest in its primary cast for the past three films. In television shows it can be found in the first seasons of “The Big Bang Theory,” “The Daily Show” correspondents, and “Seinfeld.” TVTropes is also quick to point out that many juries or TV panels are made up of two men and one woman. Movie and TV executives continue to believe that the general audience is placated by having one representative from each perceived minority, while the heterosexual, white males are overrepresented at every turn. If any aliens are intercepting our film and TV broadcasts they would probably believe Earth to be made up of 96 percent white males who are limited only by those pesky females who occasionally have the audacity to be on TV. When bringing up this issue, I’ve found that “Sex and the City” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” come in to rebuke to my argument. Yes, “Sex and the City” is written for a female audience. Subverting the social norm it is complex and perpetuates patriarchal stereotypes.
“Buffy” on the other hand is pretty awesome — one girl proved capable of saving the world over and over. But that is one example of female prowess against: “24,” “Smallville,” “Grimm,” “Supernatural,” “Breaking Bad,” “The Following,” “Dexter,” “Hannibal,” “Boardwalk Empire,” “Psych,” “CSI,” “Law & Order,” “Monk,” “Power Rangers,” “Two and a Half Men,” “Seinfeld” and “Teen Wolf.” The idea that women are not interesting characters, or that they’re not worth watching, is as antiquated as the damsel in distress story. Women are not props. They are not “tokens” worth being used only when a love subplot is needed or a calm maternal figure must pass along wisdom. Shows like “Veep” prove that it is possible to have powerful and interesting female characters who are not slaves to the patriarchy. The media’s continued propagation of female stereotypes has to end. We are not manic pixie dream girls, damsels in distress or token minorities. We are just as complex as these heterosexual white males who currently dominate modern media and we deserve to be heard.

UK defense looking to fill hole left by Williamson By Matt Overing movering@kykernel.com
Avery Williamson left a hole that cannot be filled by any one player on the UK roster. The senior middle line-
backer led UK in tackles in 2012 and 2013. UK returns five linebackers who contributed at least one tackle last season: Juniors Tre’ Dunn, Josh Forrest and Khalid Henderson and seniors TraVaughn
Paschal and Miles Simpson. Senior Tyler Brause also returns after playing on special teams last season. “Avery is tough to replace,” Stoops said. “(Replacing him) is by committee right now. We’ve got to
work through that. We don’t have anybody that is ready to jump in.” UK added four linebackers in the 2014 class. Dorian Hendrix (Wayne High School, Huber Heights, Ohio) is an early-enrolling

Men’s tennis upsets No. 1 Ohio State By Yan Wang sports@kykernel.com
UK men’s tennis defeated No. 1 Ohio State 4-1 on Wednesday at the Boone Varsity Tennis Center. The victory marks the fourth time in program history that UK beat a No. 1ranked team. “We have a lot of respect for them,” UK head coach Cedric Kauffmann said. “We knew it was going to take everybody in the lineup for us to beat Ohio State.” The Cats took a 1-0 lead after doubles play. Sophomore Beck Pennington and senior Alejandro Gomez came back from 5-0 deficits to win on a tiebreaker, 8-7 (6). Senior Ryuji Hirooka and freshman Nils Ellefsen also used a tiebreaker to win, 8-7 (4). “The doubles’ first 20 minutes was not very good. I was a little worried,” Kauff-
mann said. “But (Pennington and Gomez) were down 5-0 and bounced back.” Gomez defeated Ohio State freshman Herkko Pollanen, 6-2, 6-2, in a singles match to give UK a 2-1 overall advantage. Pennington picked up his second win of Wednesday’s matches, defeating Ohio State sophomore Chris Diaz, 6-4, 6-4, to increase the Cats’ overall lead to 3-1. UK senior Tom Jomby finished off Ohio State, overturning a 1-0 deficit to win, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Jomby got upset by some of the referee’s calls in the first set, but he relaxed his demeanor in the final two sets. “We know Tom is one of the best players in the country when he shuts his mouth,” Kauffmann said. The Cats will play next against South Carolina at 4 p.m. Friday in Lexington.

freshman who has benefitted from the position battle at linebacker. “It has been a learning process,” Hendrix said. “At the end of the day, it’s football. The biggest thing for me is learning the plays and learning the playbook. It’s going to take time, but I feel like I can have that opportunity (to replace Avery).” Hendrix said that Paschal and Simpson have helped lead him to make the transition from high school to college easier. Hendrix says the playbook has been the most challenging adjustment, something that went through an overhaul in Stoops’ first year at UK. The defense used multiple formations last season. At times, defensive ends like Bud Dupree and Jason Hatcher would slide back and play linebacker in a 3-4 front. UK also went to a nickel formation with regularity in 2013, with sophomore cornerback Blake McClain holding down the starting nickel spot for the
final 11 games of last season. Although Simpson did not make a start in 2013, he started at linebacker in 2012 and recorded 70 tackles. He said he wants to regain his starting position in 2014. “I’m trying my best,” Simpson said. “I’m not Avery. I’m not trying to be Avery.” Paschal earned five starts at weakside linebacker last season while Henderson started seven. Forrest said that this season’s linebacker competition, like in prior years, has been intense. “(Avery) being gone, it’s tough,” Forrest said. “Everyone has been trying to step up. We know there’s an open spot. The competition has made practice more fun, for me anyway. It’s making us pay attention and focus.” Defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot said that the team has improved from last season. “I can see guys that have played for us last year, maybe for the first time, I can see those guys getting better,” Eliot said.
Cedergren looking for consistency from men’s soccer underclassmen After a 7-10-3 season last year, Cats head forward with experience By Boyd C. M. Hayes bhayes@kykernel.com
Nearly five months have passed since UK men’s soccer fell to UNC-Charlotte in the semifinals of the Conference USA Tournament, putting an end to a 7-10-3 season. UK head coach Johan Cedergren has used the months since that defeat to reflect on last season and revise the direction of his program. In his second season at UK, Cedergren rarely fielded more than two or three upperclassmen at a time as UK’s roster was laden with 11 freshmen and five sophomores. Under such circumstances, Cedergren shoulders the responsibility for their development. “With six to eight fresh-
men starting every game, I think it would be awfully tough to get more than the seven wins that we got,” Cedergren said Tuesday. “I think that we were close in a couple of games, but in the end we were very young and very inexperienced. I think that I could have done a much better job at trying to accelerate the learning curve for all these young guys.” Since last season, attention to that development has been Cedergren’s top priority. With two upperclassmen on the current spring roster, Cedergren said he is using the offseason to ensure that his young team plays with experience beyond their years. “I think one of the things I had to take a lot of time to think about was how exactly do we want to structure this

UK men’s soccer head coach Johan Cedergren has used the offseason to develop the young players who will see a lot of minutes in 2014. offseason, winter and spring, so we can get the sophomores to play like upperclassmen this fall even though they’re not,” Cedergren said. Though Cedergren is excited about the talent of next season’s incoming class, he said his focus remains on bettering the current squad so he will not have to rely on freshmen next season.
“I feel really good about where we are with the current squad, and I think there’s lots of quality coming in. But we’re not going to ask six or eight freshmen to start every single game,” Cedergren said. “It’s probably more realistic that two or four of them will start. I think that’s a better mix with a little more experience on the field.”
Cumbess’ big day Kansas freshman paces softball declares for NBA Draft Cats win 10-0 in 5 innings By Derek Terry sports@kykernel.com
A grand slam from senior pitcher Lauren Cumbess and a home run from freshman outfielder Breanne Ray helped propel No. 11 UK softball to a 10-0, five-inning win over Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday at John Cropp Stadium. The Cats scored four runs in both the second and third innings to help secure the win. Cumbess led the team with four RBIs. Ray, sophomore infielder Nikki Sagermann and senior outfielder Emily Gaines all drove in one run. The Cats struck first when senior outfielder Ginny Carroll and Sagermann came around to score on a throwing error by Mississippi Valley State senior pitcher Cassandra Rivera in the bottom of the first inning. UK had a chance to add to the scoreboard in that inning, but senior outfielder Emily Jolly struck out with the bases loaded to end the scoring threat and leave the score at 2-0. The Cats loaded the bases in the bottom of the second and Cumbess
promptly unloaded them for the first grand slam of her career. “It felt great,” Cumbess said. “I’ve always had onerun or two-run home runs, but never a grand slam. It was nice to finally hit a grand slam.” Mississippi Valley State loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the third inning, but Cumbess worked out of the jam by striking out senior outfielder Brianna Holmes for the first out and forcing freshman catcher Courtenay Brooks to line into a double play to end the inning. UK head coach Rachel Lawson was pleased with Cumbess. “Lauren was incredible,” Lawson said. “Anytime you can get an athlete that can pitch as many quality innings as she did and then come up and hit a grand slam, it’s a pretty special day.” Cumbess pitched four shutout innings to earn the victory. Her record improved to 9-0 on the season. UK’s 10 runs in the game tied a season high. UK will start a three-game series against Ole Miss at 7 p.m. Friday in Oxford, Miss.

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Joel Embiid took one final deep breath before entering the interview room to make the announcement that was largely a foregone conclusion. “After thinking a lot, I decided to declare for the NBA Draft,” Embiid said Wednesday, flanked by Kansas coach Bill Self at a news conference. The decision was made on Sunday, Embiid said. He talked to his parents, adviser Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and some current and past NBA players, including the one he has been most often compared at a similar age, Hakeem Olajuwon. Olajuwon, a NBA Hall of Famer, is also Embiid’s idol. “I was excited,” Embiid said of their conversation earlier this week. “He was talking to me and I don’t even remember what he said. I was just like, ‘Yeah.’” Embiid figures to make a more definitive statement in the NBA, where analysts who project the draft order have him taken in the top five. “His ceiling is ridiculously high,” Self said.
Embiid follows teammate Andrew Wiggins in declaring for the draft after one season of college basketball. But Embiid arrived at Kansas with less fanfare, and because he, unlike Wiggins, didn’t arrive with a one-anddone mentality, some Jayhawks fans held out hope that Embiid might return for another season. “We knew he’d be really, really good,” Self said. “But we didn’t know how long it would take it. He kind of exceeded our expectations.” Embiid, a Cameroon native, had played organized basketball for three years before signing with the Jayhawks. He was discovered in his homeland by Mbah a Moute, a fellow countryman, former UCLA standout and veteran forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Jayhawks weren’t exactly sure what they had, other than a 7-footer with enormous potential. Embiid didn’t start the season’s first eight games. But he became one of the game’s top big men, averaging 11.2 points and team bests with 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. The rebound average and 72 total blocks set school records for freshmen. He became a major factor in Kansas’ run to a 10th straight Big 12 regular-season

Kansas freshman center Joel Embiid announced Wednesday that he will declare for the NBA Draft. championship, but his season was cut short because of a stress fracture in his lower back. Embiid missed a total of seven games, including KU’s last six, of which the Jayhawks lost three. Embiid said he would have played in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, but the Jayhawks lost to Stanford in the round of 32. The back problem didn’t play a role in his decision,
Embiid said. But when Embiid recalls his year at Kansas, Self believes there will be an empty feeling for not having the opportunity to play in March Madness. “That’s something, when he looks back, for all the positives out there, if there is a negative to leaving, it’s that there’s an incomplete,” Self said. “The thing we value as important, he didn’t a chance to participate in.”
