West Virginia’s Daxter Miles Jr. had opened a can of worms with his pregame comments, and the Mountaineers were having a hard time putting the lid back on. Harrison was responsible for breaking West Virginia’s will in that dominant stretch the Cats

Scheduling conflict cut back on stage time for touring group By Anne Halliwell news@kykernel.com
In the Singletary Center Recital Hall, the Sharpe Zohn Guitar Duo tuned their instruments on a small stage. Just a few feet away in the Concert Hall, the RocKats prepared for the first half of their motown, rock and funk concert with the local Positive Movement Band. The two concerts were mistakenly scheduled within a half-hour of each other, but a slightly shortened program by the guitar duo and a pushedback start time for the joint concert accommodated those with diverse music tastes. Classical guitarists Robert Sharpe and Andrew Zohn, a former teacher-student duo, have been touring for three
years in the U.S., Europe and China. The pair plucked their way through music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach and Mauro Giuliani. The RocKats, a class band through the Fine Arts department, began their first song, Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” just moments after the guitar concert ended. The student group played rock music from earlier decades, as well as contemporary tracks like Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black.” They were replaced after intermission by The Positive Movement Band, a funk and motown group from Lexington, then joined the older musicians for a final performance of “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry.

Job-seeking students now have the opportunity to attend a career fair regardless of their schedule or location. The James W. Stuckert Career Center is sponsoring an SEC and ACC Virtual Career Fair on Wednesday and Thursday. The Career Fair will feature 135 prospective employers, according to CareerEco, the company responsible for
the event. CareerEco is a virtual recruiting platform for job seekers. “Having a Virtual Career Fair is very efficient because you do not have to move from booth to booth and there are no lines or waiting,” Gayle Oliver-Plath, the CareerEco CEO and founder, said. “Students can log on to three chat rooms at one time and speak with employers all at once.” The Career Fair is free for students; all that is required is an Internet connection and re-
vised resume. It is open to 27 SEC and ACC Universities, and 2,900 students are registered so far. “The employers are listed out as far as what they are looking for: the positions, what majors and what backgrounds the students are coming from,” said Seth Riker, the marketing assistant director at the Stuckert Career Center Students need to register before April 1 and can do so on the Career Center website.
Some companies are looking for summer interns through the virtual fair. “The organizations are from all over the U.S., Riker said. “For instance, if there is a student who is from Atlanta (who) is going home for the summer, the student can still find opportunities around their hometown.” Applicants need an electronic resume and can add a LinkedIn profile to their information.

How to badger the Badgers By Joshua Huff jhuff@kykernel.com
Wisconsin poses the same offensive dilemmas that plagued UK against Notre Dame in the Elite Eight. The Irish’s ability to spread the floor, minimize opposing post players and open lanes for guards to dribbledrive nearly spelled doom for the Cats. Fortunately for UK, its defense locked down in the final two minutes to hold Notre Dame scoreless in a 6866 win. UK, though, faces nearly the same spread offense Saturday when Wisconsin squares up against the Cats in the Final Four. The Badgers, however, add size and methodical proficiency to the equation. Much like Virginia prides itself on slowing the game down defensively, Wisconsin spreads the ball in the half-court and baits the defense into mistakes. The Badgers’ use of Vcuts, shuffle cuts, and pick and roles cause mismatches up and down the board. As a result, guards end up defending forwards and centers end
up guarding guards, a lethal setup that Wisconsin takes advantage of with a seven-man roster of bigs who can play any position, shoot threes and are deadly from inside the paint. Wisconsin boasts three starters who are taller than 6foot-8 and shoot over 50 percent from the field. Forward and 7-footer Frank Kaminsky is the Badgers’ hit man, shooting 54 percent from the field and 41 percent from three, an impressive percentage for a big man. Those stats are elevated because of Wisconsin’s offensive makeup. The guard initiates from the right top of the key and dishes the ball into the block. If no shot is available, the forward will dish to the left wing. With the use of cuts and pick and rolls, players like Kaminsky and Sam Dekker drift to the perimeter with wide open threes. Wisconsin’s ability to shoot a high percentage has been its calling card all season due to quick passing and movement. The way UK can counter is to control the offensive See BASKETBALL on page 6

UK Baseball riding high after win against LSU Team to face high-ranked Indiana on Tuesday at home after beating No. 1-ranked team on road By Derek Terry sports@kykernel.com
Despite hosting its toughest midweek test yet in Indiana (16-8) on Tuesday, the UK baseball team (18-10) will not be making any changes in how it approaches a typical game. “The focus is to play well,” head coach Gary Henderson said. “You’re hoping to be consistent in how your guys approach it. The ability to get solid starting pitching and play defense at a level that doesn’t give the other team bases or outs and then be really competitive at the plate. That’s the blueprint of being a good baseball team.” The Hoosiers were ranked No. 19 in the country going into last weekend but fell out of the Top 25 on Monday after being swept by Iowa. Meanwhile, the Cats go
into Tuesday’s game riding high after winning two of three against No. 1 LSU in Baton Rouge, La., the first time in school history that UK won a series against the topranked team on the road. “Anytime you win a series on the road in our league, it’s got a chance to change a kid’s perspective on how good they’re capable of being,” Henderson said. “I think that when you have a new group, which we do, you have to win games on the road to truly believe that you’re a good team.” Indiana has been one of the top programs in the Midwest the last two seasons, winning more than 40 games each year and reaching its first College World Series in 2013. It is in its first season under head coach Chris Lemonis. Former coach Tracy Smith accepted the job at Arizona State
at the end of last season. The Hoosiers are led by sophomore Craig Dedelow, who is batting .351 through 24 games. Senior outfielder Scott Donley and sophomore infielder Austin Cangelosi are hitting .312 and .307, respectively. UK is still led by its two star outfielders Kyle Barrett and Ka’ai Tom. Barrett is hitting an impressive .387 this season after struggling to find a groove last year. “Kyle’s doing a really good job of being aggressive,” Henderson said. “He’s done a good job of not trying to do too much and staying in the middle of the field with his approach. He’s done a nice job in centerfield and has run the bases well. He’s off to a very good start.” First pitch is set for 4 p.m. on Tuesday at Cliff Hagan Stadium.

Final Four coaches represent the best of modern era By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
PHOTO BY JONATHAN KRUEGER | STAFF
UK head coach John Calipari is all smiles during the Sweet Sixteen game.
Call them the Mt. Rushmore of college basketball, the savants of the game or the greatest coaches of the modern era. This year’s Final Four coaches are certainly one of the most impressive groups the event has ever had. Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and UK’s John Calipari have a combined 25 Final Four appearances on their record (27 if you count Calipari’s vacated ones in 1996 and 2008) and six Division I National Championships. Ryan, having previously coached at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in the 80s and 90s, adds four D-III national titles to that list. Come Saturday, all four legendary coaches will be center stage on the game’s biggest stage in Indianapolis. The word “impressive” doesn’t do it justice. “It’s a privilege and an honor to be in that class,” Izzo said during a conference
call that featured all four coaches remaining in this year’s NCAA Tournament. “I think you got a lot of coaches that have worked hard to get there and put in their time and years. That makes it great because I know I have great

respect for the other three coaches that are in here.” Izzo’s Michigan State team has the lowest seed in the Final Four with a 7-seed. The Spartans stunned 2-seed Virginia in the Round of 32 to advance to the Sweet 16 and recently beat 5-seed Louisville in the Elite Eight on Sunday. While Izzo isn’t surprised
by the list of fellow coaches and their teams that will meet him in Indianapolis this weekend, he did acknowledge his team being the shocker of the group. “We’ve been a little bit more of the surprise team, I guess,” Izzo said. “I’m not sure we were as bad as it seemed during the year when we lost some games because we missed some free throws.” To Calipari, who this year leads an undefeated Cats team seeking a ninth national championship, it comes as no shock when he thinks about the heavyweights that are left standing. “When you talk about the coaches here … you talk about Bo Ryan, you're talking about one of those guys that walked through the ranks and has done it anywhere he’s been,” Calipari said. “Tommy Izzo ... you talk about one of the top two or three coaches, he's it. Then you talk about Mike Krzyzewski. C'mon. (UCLA coach John) Wooden, Krzyzewski, and that's about it.” UK will face Wisconsin on Saturday to determine who

will move on to the National Championship. For the Cats, it means two more games before they can complete a historic perfect season. Calipari has repeated all year that while his team may have an unblemished record, it certainly isn’t perfect. When asked about his take on Calipari’s statement, Ryan decided to poke a bit of fun at the UK coach. “I thought you said John said he wasn’t perfect, because I was agreeing with that,” Ryan said with a laugh. But Ryan knows what it’s like to lead an undefeated team this late in the season, as he directed the WisconsinPlatteville Pioneers through two perfect seasons. “They've been through so many pressure situations when you're undefeated,” Ryan said of the Cats. “When you’re 10-0, 15-0, 25-0, what that does to a team, it actually made our practices better knowing that all eyes are on you. You learn how to deal with the outside pressures. So I think Kentucky is in a pretty good position from that standpoint.”

High fines unjust for poor Punishments should take income into account PATRICK BRENNAN Kernel Columnist
Whether by speeding, trespassing, jaywalking or illegal parking, we have all broken the law at some point. Even if we got caught, most of us could breeze past the punishment. However, many lowincome individuals and households are shackled by trivial offenses, and this is simply unjust. I bet you know someone who struggled to pay a fine. Just less than half of Americans could cover a $400 emergency expense without selling something or borrowing, according to the Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2013 from the Board of Governors. I propose that fines and fees should be more like bail or income tax — dependent on one’s ability to pay. The stories of those who have been victimized by the system make it clear. Take, for example, Harriet Cleveland, a woman from Montgomery, Ala. Unfortunately, Cleveland racked up hundreds of dollars worth of fines from traffic tickets that she could not afford. One morning, Cleveland was taken by police from her house while
she tended to her grandson. Worse still, Cleveland said she really wanted to pay off the fines; she lost her car, handed over and 2,000 dollars but still didn’t meet the accumulated fees. To me, it’s disgusting that a kind, harmless grandmother was taken from her family because of her inability to pay tickets. Cleveland’s story is
“
I propose that fines and fees should be more like bail or income tax — dependent on one’s ability to pay.” just one example of someone who was harmed by fines and fees for nonviolent crimes. You can find this and more on HBO’s March 22 episode of ‘Last Week Tonight.’ It is madness that some of the “criminals” who didn’t have enough money were put in jail. You see, the logic of our petty crime punishment is flawed. It hopes to deter people from
committing crimes by doling out fines. Yet these fines are flat rates; different people will think of a given fine as meaningless, annoying, fitting, difficult, harmful or destructive. It’s obvious that we value certain amounts of money depending on how much excess money we have. If we want our punishments for minor infractions to deter crime, then we should fine people depending on their income. Only then will we all feel equal deterrence from the crimes. As it is, a rich person might see a fine as simply a nuisance, while the same punishment can be life-altering for the poor. We can say that the result of all fines is deterrence, but this is not the reality. To be sure, this is not a novel idea. Many European countries have enacted slidingscale fines. The poor and needy already have a disadvantage when it comes to the law since they can’t afford expensive legal counsel. Now, our irrational fines are making them suffer. The less-affluent may remain quiet, but how much more can we trample on them under the guise of justice? Patrick Brennan is a mathematics and philosophy junior. Email opinions@ kykernel.com.
Coal could face new regulations By Lisa Garcia Las Angeles Times (TNS)
1 in 5 premature deaths are attributable to air pollution. Can EPA rules help? On Wednesday the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a crucial case about regulating mercury and other toxic air pollution coming from coal-fired power plants. In late 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency issued its first-ever Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, or MATS, to reduce the pollution emitted by power plants. Simply by requiring the worst-pol-
luting plants to match the performance and technology of their more responsible competitors, these standards will prevent between 4,200 and 11,000 premature deaths per year. These public health protections already were years overdue because the coal industry and its allies tried to derail them from the beginning. In the current court case, the petitioners claim that the EPA can’t set limits on toxic air pollution without first considering the financial impact that will have on the industry. Last year, the D.C. Circuit
Court rejected this argument. Industry — in a last-ditch attempt to overturn these protections — appealed, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear this case. Other businesses in America have taken steps to reduce their hazardous emissions. But the coal industry thinks its should be treated differently. A decision for the coal industry would mean thousands of people across our country will continue to fall ill, suffer, or even die prematurely — all to protect the profits of the worst corporate polluters.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Degrees not necessary for economic success
In the past twenty years, we have seen a shift in cultural expectations about the necessity of obtaining a college degree. Although this option is not feasible for every individual, many high school seniors are led to believe this is the only pathway to success. As current college students, we firmly believe that college provides a greater chance for success, but there are other methods to achieve economic stability. The harsh reality remains that college is a substantial financial commitment that not all students should be encouraged to take on. Most high school counselors urge students to make this commitment with little under-
standing of the preparedness of each individual. The Pathways to Prosperity study by the Harvard Graduate School of Education states that just 56% of college students complete four-year degrees within six years. At our own school, only 59% of students graduate with a degree within six years, according to College Simply. These statistics point to a dangerous trend — many high school students enter college without even considering other options. There are many career paths that do not require a college degree and are more suitable for lesser-financially prepared high school students. Trade schools, techni-
cal training and associates degrees are viable options for those who may not be best suited attending college. This broader approach to education reform would allow for many students to avoid financial distress and develop skills that will help them obtain a respectable job. College is a great option for many students, but it should not be something forced on every individual. High schools should place a higher level of importance on understanding individual student’s capabilities before advising them on post-graduation plans. Rowan Reid is an economics sophomore.

Colleges on ‘the breaking point’ with budget cuts By Elaine S. Povich Stateline.org (TNS)
WASHINGTON — Governors in nearly a half-dozen states want to cut state spending on colleges and universities to help close budget shortfalls, often sparking vehement opposition among state lawmakers of both parties. Republican governors in Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana and Wisconsin and Connecticut's Democratic governor have proposed higher educa-
tion cuts for the coming fiscal year. Higher education spending traditionally is a juicy target for budget cutters because schools can make up the lost revenue by raising tuition. In fiscal year 2013, schools got about 47 percent of their revenue from tuition, up from about 24 percent in fiscal year 1988, according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association. Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy of Connecticut has suggested a tuition hike to compensate for the cuts, but
the Republican governors are urging the schools in their states to find savings by trimming bureaucracy and consolidating campuses. University officials argue that budget cuts have pushed them to the breaking point, forcing them to rely on adjunct professors and teaching assistants instead of full professors. During the recession, 48 states cut higher education spending. Alaska and North Dakota didn't. They are the only two states spending as much or more on higher edu-
Rebels to help rid explosives Columbia guerrilla group, FARC, to clear mines after end of brutal half-century long conflict By Jim Wyss Miami Herald (TNS)
SONSON, Colombia — As a child soldier for Colombia’s largest guerrilla group, Jairo watched his fellow fighters seed trails and pastures with anti-personnel mines designed to kill and maim. Sometimes they made careful maps indicating where the explosives were buried. Other times they carried the knowledge in their heads — and when they died in combat the mines became a perilous mystery. “Even a (guerrilla) commander stepped on one of them,” said Jairo, who was forced to join the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC, when he was 15 years old, and who asked to remain anonymous to avoid guerrilla retaliation. “They just forgot where they put it and he stepped on it.” Colombia’s half century civil conflict has turned large swaths of the country, quite literally, into a mine-
field. In 2013, Colombia had more landmine-related deaths than any country in the world except for Afghanistan. Now, however, there’s an effort under way to try to clean up the mess. And current and former guerrillas like Jairo could play a leading role. Government and FARC negotiators in Havana are working on a plan that would allow a few guerrilla members to leave their strongholds and, in conjunction with the military and Norwegian People’s Aid, help identify three or four minefields that put civilian populations at risk. The army’s de-mining brigade would clear the explosives. The deal is part of efforts to de-escalate violence even as negotiators have spent more than two years trying to cobble together a comprehensive peace plan. “The virtue of this measure is that, with or without a peace, the FARC, the government and international organizations have agreed to start clearing
landmines,” said Gen. Oscar Naranjo, a former chief of police who was recently named minister of post-conflict. “It’s an agreement with limited reach. It’s a pilot project that will allow us to learn lessons and learn from this new model.” The former guerrilla, now 29, is one of a handful of ex-combatants who have been hired by the HALO Trust, a United Kingdom nonprofit and the only organization doing humanitarian mine removal aside from the Colombian military. Imagining a post-conflict future where the FARC are part of the work force, he said, they would be invaluable in this line of work. Anti-personnel mines have injured or killed at least 11,068 people in Colombia since 1990. In 2013, landmines took 368 lives, according to the Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor. That puts the South American nation only behind Afghanistan (1,050 casualties) in terms of landmine deaths.

cation than they did before the recession, when the numbers are adjusted for inflation, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington, D.C.-based research group. Nowhere is the controversy greater than in Louisiana, which has a complicated higher education system and a Republican governor who is considering running for president. Gov. Bobby Jindal proposed a budget that would reduce higher education spending by $141 million in fiscal
2016. In recent weeks, he has proposed offsetting some of the cuts by getting rid of some refundable business tax credits, which have a total value of $526 million. But the business community is strongly opposing that idea. That leaves the Republicandominated legislature in a bind, forcing members to choose between education and low taxes, two priorities they generally support. Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential presidential candidate who
has cut state income and property taxes by $541 million during his tenure, has proposed cutting $300 million from the University of Wisconsin system. According to Walker, that amounts to a 2.5 percent cut, but other analysts have put the figure as high as 13 percent. The fact-checking service PolitiFact split the difference, assessing the reduction at about 6 percent. The cut would be exacerbated by the fact that there is a tuition freeze in place.
‘The Daily Show’ announces host to replace Jon Stewart By Meredith Blake and Julie Westfall Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Trevor Noah, a 31-yearold comedian who has been a contributor to Comedy Central's “The Daily Show,” will be the program's new host when current host Jon Stewart leaves later this year, the network announced Monday. “Trevor Noah is an enormous talent. He has an insightful and unique point of view, and most importantly, is wickedly funny,” said Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless in a statement, noting that he would bring “a fresh voice” to the satirical news show. Noah, a biracial South African who grew up in Johannesburg's Soweto township, was a surprise pick. Though he has hosted his own program, “Tonight with Trevor Noah,” in his native country, the comedian joined “The Daily Show” as a contributor only in December. His name had not been among those floated in the press as a possible successor to Stewart until recently. One of the show's behind-the-scene podcasts has an interview with Noah. “It's an honor to follow
Jon Stewart. He and the team at ‘The Daily Show'’have created an incredible show whose impact is felt all over the world,” said Noah in a statement from Comedy Central. “In
“
Trevor Noah is an enormous talent. He has an insightful and unique point of view, and ... is wicked funny.” MICHELE GANELESS Comedy Central President my brief time with the show they've made me feel so welcome. I'm excited to get started and work with such a fantastic group of people.” Noah will also bring further diversity to late-night TV — and to Comedy Central. “The Nightly Show,” hosted by African American comedian Larry Wilmore, premiered in January in the 11:30 slot vacated by “The Colbert Report.”
In a tweet Monday, comedian Chris Rock — who some had hoped might step in as Stewart's replacement — thanked President Obama for Noah's hiring, presumably because both men are biracial and share powerful personal biographies. As reported by the New York Times, Noah was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, an illegal relationship under apartheid. Noah is the subject of a documentary, “You Laugh But It's True,” currently available on Netflix, and rose to international attention in 2012 following a sold-out show, “The Racist,” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Noah also joins a growing list of internationally born late-night hosts that includes “The Daily Show” alum John Oliver, who now hosts “Last Week Tonight” for HBO, and James Corden, who made his debut as host of “The Late Late Show” on CBS last week. Both are British. Stewart, 52, announced in February that he would be leaving the show after 16 years at its host. The show premiered in 1996 under then-host Craig Kilborn.

The Virtual Career Fair works by entering a chat room with employers. Before doing so, students should review the organizations’ profiles and create questions before joining the chat sessions. “Each employer has set up their own chat times. For instance AT&T has their times on both the first and second — that might be different from E*TRADE’s times,” Riker said. According to the CareerEco website, a private video chat feature is available for students and employers to speak one-on-one, and the employers can also send messages to the students’ profiles. Applicants should use a desktop or laptop rather than a cell phone for chats. “Doing the Career Fair, online students have access to (more) employers all at once than they would otherwise,” Riker said. “The drawback would be that students might not get to show their personality or show their interpersonal communication.”

The Mountaineers were overmatched and outsized, and they didn’t stand much of a chance against UK. And the three guards Harrison had to shoot over were 6foot-1, 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-3.
