Randle’s NBA dreams realized Forward is 12th freshman to enter draft in Calipari era By Nick Gray ngray@kykernel.com
He arrived at UK last fall as a highly touted recruit focused on two goals — winning a national championship and reaching the NBA. Freshman forward Julius Randle fell six points short of
a national championship, but took one step closer to the latter goal on Tuesday. Randle announced at a news conference at Memorial Coliseum that he would enter the NBA Draft after a recordbreaking freshman campaign that helped lead the Cats to the National Championship
game earlier this month. He announced his decision, which had been speculated on by media outlets for more than a week, after discussions with his family and head coach John Calipari. “(Calipari) told me that he felt like I was ready. It was up to me whether I wanted to
come back or not,” Randle said. “He was a big supporter for me throughout this process. He put me in a position to be able to declare and I’m happy for that opportunity.” Randle said he considered coming back to Lexington for another year to chase a national championship, but his

UK’s Wiseman will retire after 11 years By Will Wright wwright@kykernel.com
Bob Wiseman, the vice president for facilities management, has announced his retirement after an 11-year career at UK. Wiseman has overseen multiple large projects, including the recent housing developments, renovations to the Student Center and creation of a $600 million hospital, a project that was completed on time and on budget. Over the course of his UK career, Wiseman managed more than $1.5 billion in construction operations. Before coming to UK, Wiseman was the executive assistant to the mayor for the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, the Lexington commissioner of public works and the director on financing for the Kentucky League of Cities. “I think the next person (to fill Wiseman’s position) will have a lot to live up to,” said Michael Karpf, the executive vice president for health affairs. “He has an extensive knowledge of construction and beyond that he has a deep knowledge of how city and county bureaucracy work.” Wiseman said the acquisition of the Lexington Theological Seminary and moving the Fine Arts Department from the Reynolds Building to the University Lofts are some of his favorite personal achievements. “We tried everything ... to try and get out of there,” Wiseman said of the Reynolds Building. “It was an effort that took years and years to finally come to fruition, so I’m pleased with that.”

While most students are taking classes inside, others are working under the sun, putting the finishing touches on portable living space prototypes outside Pence Hall. These wooden structures are part of a project and collaboration with the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, which covers more than 14,000 acres in Bullitt and Nelson counties, according to
its website. Bernheim asked the College of Design to look into sustainable design projects, said Bruce Swetnam, an associate professor of architecture at UK. “We’ve had projects with them in the past, but this is the first thing we’ve built fullscale,” Swetnam said. The goal, Swetnam said, is for the students to learn how to incorporate elements of sustainability technology into their work and consider how

Baseball defeats Tennessee Tech By Joshua Huff sports@kykernel.com
Tennessee Tech soared into Cliff Hagan Stadium on Tuesday but left with clipped wings as UK baseball rallied to top the nation’s No. 1 offense, 1513. No. 17 UK (27-14, 9-9 SEC) battled back from a slow start offensively and overcame a six-run deficit, despite the Golden Eagles’ seven home runs and a rough start by UK’s
freshmen pitchers. The two teams combined to hit 10 home runs. Freshman Zack Brown gave up the first home run in his short career at UK in the second inning, and the Golden Eagles jumped to a 1-0 lead. UK responded in the bottom of the inning, as senior Matt Reida broke a 0-for-11 hitless streak by hitting a double to left. Junior Austin Cousino then smacked a sacrifice line-drive to center, tying
the game at one. Golden Eagles seniors Zach Stephens and Daniel Miles hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning to give Tennessee Tech a 3-1 advantage. Jordan Parris joined the home run club by belting his own in the fourth off of reliever freshman Robert Zeigler. Brown and Zeigler combined for 3.2 innings, allowing six hits and four home runs. Sophomore Zach Strecker replaced Zeigler and immedi-

The Cats chipped away at the six-run deficit in the fifth inning, scoring three runs as Tennessee Tech walked three, hit one and allowed two singles in an inning when the Cats sent nine batters to the plate.

Softball defeats WKU for 39th victory Win count is most in program’s regular season history No. 9 UK softball picked up its 39th win of the season in an 11-8 victory over in-state rival Western Kentucky on Tuesday at the WKU Softball Complex. The victory marked the
most wins during regular-season play in program history. Sophomore infielder Nikki Sagermann smacked her 11th home run of the season, which was her fifth homer in the past five games.
The Hilltoppers jumped on sophomore pitcher Kelsey Nunley in the first inning by knocking in two runs to grab an early 2-0 lead. The Cats responded with a three-run inning that was ignit-
ed by a solo home run from sophomore infielder Christian Stokes. The UK bats did not slow down as the Cats tallied up three more runs in the top of the third inning. A wild pitch and throwing error from the Hilltoppers brought in two runs for the Cats.
Sagermann smashed a three-run bomb to centerfield to put the Cats up 9-2 after the top of the fourth inning. The Hilltoppers made a furious comeback, plating six runs in two innings as the Cats’ lead was cut to one going into the top of the seventh inning.
Mark Whicker: Tanks, but no tanks, NBA By Mark Whicker The Orange County Register (MCT)
The franchise of Julius Erving, Moses Malone and Wilt Chamberlain won 19 games and lost 63 this season. At one point it lost 26 consecutively. At one point it lost 12 of those games by 10 points or more. Its owner, Josh Harris, proclaimed it “a huge success.” The franchise of Bill Russell and Larry Bird won 25 games and lost 57. Its firstyear coach, Brad Stevens, had coached Butler for five seasons and lost only 49. His team scored 96.2 points per game, and only two teams had a field-goal percentage that was worse. His team even lost twice to the Lakers. Then there was the franchise of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson. It went 27-55. It gave up 109.2 points per game. In a five-
game span it gave up 130plus points four times. Its general manager, Mitch Kupchak, says his watchword is “patience.” The NBA playoffs began over the weekend without the 76ers, Celtics and Lakers, the teams that put the league in prime time, enchanted Madison Avenue, and made Commissioner David Stern richer than most players. All three teams charged their fans the going rate for tickets, food and parking. All three teams took the same check from their broadcast “partners.” Whether all three teams were trying to lose is a matter of semantics and is probably an unfair cloud to hang over their players. But they certainly weren’t trying to win, and that is a problem that envelops both them and their league. Fans and media have become numb to this, because of the process, because of the belief that it’s better, strategi-

cally, to be horrible than merely competitive. Indeed, the teams that have used their banners as toilet paper, while fleecing their customers, are being applauded for their innovation. After all, the Sixers’ decision-makers have MBAs, unlike Jerry West and Gregg
Popovich. But one suspects that all those Hall of Fame alumni have shaken their heads for six months. Harris says the 76ers were hugely successful because they arranged for six draft picks this June, including two in the draft lottery.
game. Javon Shelby and juniors Max Kuhn and A.J. Reed padded the Cats lead, each scoring a run in a fiverun sixth inning, with UK stretching its lead to four. Reida continued his sizzling performance with a
solo home run in the seventh. He ended the game 4for-4 with four RBIs and two doubles. The home run was the first since his sophomore season. Down four heading into the eighth, Tennessee Tech

period in UK history that has seen that dramatic of a change.” In Wiseman’s time in the city and at UK, he has witnessed the “sometimes rocky” relationship between Lexington and the university from both sides of the spectrum. “Bob has established excellent relationships in the community,” said Eric Monday, UK’s executive vice president for finance and administration. “He’s very good at working with people.” A staff of about 800 people who report to Wiseman are responsible for many of
the day-to-day operations on campus, including snow removal and cleaning the buildings. “They are the most dedicated, hardworking people you’ll find,” Wiseman said. “They keep this place secure, clean, attractive, and I can’t say enough about the employees I had here.” Wiseman said there were times when he worried about natural disasters and the impact that a tornado could have on campus, but that the day-to-day operations were something he could always feel secure in. “I don’t worry about snow removal, and I don’t
worry about people maintaining the grounds, and I don’t worry about keeping buildings clean,” Wiseman said. Wiseman said he looks forward to becoming more involved in the Lexington art community during his retirement and the opportunity to spend more time traveling in Europe with his wife, Rena. “One of the reasons I’m leaving at this point is that I wanted to do certain things and I want to pursue those,” Wiseman said. “I used to paint a lot before I came to UK … so I want to do that … and a few other things.”
“The more we can harvest from nature, the better the design,” Swetnam said, referencing Bernheim Forest’s interest in sustainable energy. Swetnam described the project as a research and prototyping initiative and said that if the designs are ever used, they will need to undergo refinement. “We’ve got some of the administration from Bernheim coming down to our design reviews,” Swetnam said.
After the reviews in about a week, the Bernheim administration may move some of the prototypes to Bernheim to display at an organic farming event on May 17, Swetnam said. “What’s kind of unique about what we’re doing is … generally architecture students will work with graphic designs … or models,” Swetnam said. “They’re taking their designs beyond concepts and into design development.”

and-done rule, which would include extending by a year the time players must spend in college before going to the NBA. A highly ranked recruit such as Randle could have jumped from high school to the NBA before the rule was implemented after the 200506 season. The rule, inadvertently or not, allowed him to make memories that Randle said he would not forget for a long time. “I’ll grow old one day,” Randle said. “And I will be able to tell my children and grandchildren about things I did when I was 19.”
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Donnie Tyndall of Southern Miss will be the 19th Tennessee men’s basketball coach. Both CBSSports.com and ESPN.com, citing anonymous sources, reported that UT reached an agreement with Tyndall, 43, hours after Louisiana Tech coach Michael White turned down the Vols. UT officials have not commented on its search since former coach Cuonzo Martin left for California. Attempts by the News Sentinel to reach Tyndall and his agent on Monday were unsuccessful. An official announcement is expected Tuesday, reports said. ESPN claims UT offered Tyndall a five-year deal worth $8 million overall. Tyndall reportedly wants a six-year deal. The school and the coach were reportedly still negotiating as of Monday night. After UT was unable to cultivate significant interest among multiple top tier candidates in its search, UT
athletic director Dave Hart targeted White. But the 37year-old reportedly pulled out of conversations with Hart on Monday afternoon due to concerns about the long-term security, or buyout, in Tennessee’s informal offer. Instead, the former Ole Miss player and assistant who compiled a 74-31 record during three seasons at Louisiana Tech will remain in Ruston, La., where he makes $600,000 per season with a matching buyout. While White’s upcoming batch of Bulldogs will lose little from a team that tied a program best with 29 wins this season, UT returns just one of its five starters from an NCAA tournament Sweet 16 run. Hart immediately moved to Tyndall. The Grand Rapids, Mich., native had been linked to Tennessee’s search since Martin, wary of the decreased buyout that accompanied UT’s offered contract extension (two seasons) and raise ($45,000) accepted a fiveyear deal at Cal last Tuesday.

Pro-gun logic applies in legalization of marijuana CHEYENE MILLER
Kernel columnist
Gun rights activists say owning a gun is a Constitutional right, and therefore finding middle ground is out of the question. They also say that if people want access to something badly enough, then no law or regulation will prevent them from obtaining it. These are both fair assertions, but I pose this question to gun-control opponents: Where does that logic go
when the product in question is marijuana instead of guns? Oftentimes people who are anti-gun-control are rightwing conservatives against the legalization of marijuana. This makes no sense at all. The same logic that applies to gun control should be applied to marijuana legalization. In a free-market capitalist society such as ours, the consumers who want a product like marijuana are going to gain access to it even if that means breaking the law. Some might counter this argument by stating that there is no amendment in the Constitution that provides citizens with the right to marijuana.
However, this is a country that supposedly values personal choice and personal freedom, and the most basic form of freedom is what you do with your own body. So why is it that there is a double standard when it comes to drugs like marijuana? Some would say that it’s because “guns do not kill people, people kill people,” and some might argue that people are more likely to kill under the influence of narcotics. This might be true in the case of a dangerous narcotic, but not a drug like marijuana, which has recorded zero overdose deaths in human history. Tobacco, on the other hand,
kills about 480,000 people annually in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s fair to say that there are drugs far more dangerous than marijuana that are still legal. Other problems to consider are the effects both marijuana and guns have on crime. Measuring data on guns in relation to crime is tricky. There are data that suggest that lower rates of gun ownership and heavy guncontrol laws lower crime rates, and data that suggest that they have no effect on crime rates. It all depends on what source you get your informa-
tion from, and which country or state you’re examining. Similarly, marijuana’s relation to crime rates is hard to measure, not because there are contradicting data, but because there are few places in the world where marijuana isn’t restricted in some way. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your view), Colorado started commercially selling marijuana at the start of the year, and so far data show that violent crime in the city has decreased from the same point in 2013. What this whole issue really comes down to is that American politics have become so polarized that many people are under the impres-
sion that they cannot hold beliefs that correspond to opposing ends of the political spectrum. Is it really so hard to be anti-gun-control and antimarijuana prohibition at the same time? If the right and left wingers of America can agree on one thing, let it be that people should be able to make their own decisions without the influence of others, as long as those decisions do not negatively affect others.
