A look at Calipari’s 6 years as a Wildcat By Annie Dunbar sports@kykernel.com
April 1, 2009 was a pivotal point for UK’s iconic basketball program with the hiring of John Calipari. “The challenge of being here is not just competing for national titles, but winning them,” Calipari said during his introduction as UK’s new head coach. Throughout his six seasons at UK, Calipari has lived and breathed that sentiment. He turned a once-stagnant program under then-head coach Billy Gillispie back into a national powerhouse reminiscent of the days of Adolph Rupp. Over the course of his first season with the Cats, Calipari pushed the program to its 2,000 win milestone and took UK to the Elite Eight with the likes of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson. UK and Calipari also made history in 2010 when five Cats (Wall, Cousins, Patterson, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton) were drafted in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft. During the 2010-2011 sea-
son, Calipari, Brandon Knight, Darius Miller, Josh Harrelson and Terrence Jones led UK to its first Final Four appearance since 1998 after defeating overall No. 1 ranked Ohio State and No. 2 ranked North Carolina.

After inching closer to the title throughout his first two seasons, Calipari hit the ultimate goal of winning his first national championship in his third year.

as the low point of Calipari’s tenure at UK. The Cats went 2112 and lost to Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT. Following an up and down season, UK bounced back to make an unforgettable tournament run. The underdog No. 8 seeded Cats took down undefeated Wichita State, defending champion and arch rival Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin to make the NCAA championship game for the 12th time. The Cats fell 60-54 to the UConn Huskies in the title game. Calipari’s sixth season has been one for the record books. The Cats are made up of nine McDonald’s All-Americans and are the tallest college basketball team in the country. UK is currently 38-0 and have notched their fourth Final Four appearance in five seasons. The Cats are looking to make history again by going 40-0. Calipari’s presence has drastically changed the basketball culture in Lexington, Ky. UK fans choose to forget the years of Gillispie, who took the program down a road that fans hope never to travel again.

Setting the stage for ‘Hair’ By Chelsey Gooden news@kykernel.com
One of the most crucial aspects of preparing a stage production is the set, as it provides context for the audience about the play and invites them into the world of the story. UK’s upcoming showing of “Hair” will demonstrate this importance, as a set is currently being built and designed to provide such context. Tony Hardin, associate professor of theatre set and lighting design at UK, is currently working on building a set in Guignol Theatre along with students for “Hair,” which is set to open April 16. Some of the students helping with the sce-
nic design for the upcoming show have also helped with the set for “The 39 Steps.” “We started building in the beginning of March,” Hardin said. With the show opening in just a few weeks there are still things that need to be done for the set, such as painting and lighting. Hardin also designs scenery and lighting, and oversees student designers for the show. “As a scenic designer our job is to help tell a story,” Hardin said. Theatre senior Kate Field is helping with the scenic design for the upcoming show and noted that the set helps tell the story. As a scenic charge, Field is in charge of the paint department. Even though the set is-

Council proposes minimum wage plan By Jerry Seale news@kykernel.com
Further discussion on a proposed plan to raise the minimum wage in Fayette County is still scheduled to resume on June 23 following the Urban County Council’s decision to cancel a sooner meeting. The meeting was origi-
nally scheduled for April 20 by Vice Mayor Steve Kay to move the discussion of the proposal to raise the minimum wage over a three-year period along sooner rather than later, but was canceled following a 9-3 vote by the council during its March 19 meeting. If passed, the bill would raise the minimum wage in
Fayette County to $10.10 over a three-year period, which would specifically impact many students like UK business management sophomore Molly Norenberg, who works at Starbucks for minimum wage. Norenberg said she was in favor of the bill, but also said raising the wage could potentially demotivate some
from striving for higher paying positions. A concern with some over the bill is that raising the minimum wage could result in layoffs. Computer engineering senior Kyle Piper said, “There would be a short term benefit considering See MINIMUM on page 2

OPINIONS
Newcomer Lana Candor cast as X-Men’s Jubilee ANNE HALLIWELL Kernel Columnist
In the mess of retconning, rewriting and reworking that is “X-Men: Apocalypse,” a solid piece of good news has appeared. Director Bryan Singer announced via Twitter that newcomer Lana Condor has
been cast to play Jubilation Lee, known more commonly as “Jubilee.” Jubilee is a pretty old character, as far as longevity in the comics goes. She first appeared as a Chinese mall-going teenager in 1989 who could generate colored plasma energy — dubbed “fireworks” in a wildly culturally-sensitive move by the writers — but has grown from that role into a recognizable member of the team.
So the news of Condor is interesting in that another cool character with seriously visual powers is added to the lineup. More to the point, it also means that the casting crew of “X-Men: Apocalypse” have succeeded, at least in part, in avoiding the recent film trend of whitewashing supporting characters — I’m looking at you, Warner Bros. It shouldn’t be the least bit surprising or congratula-
tory to say that this movie managed to include another canonically non-white character played by a non-white actor in a role that could, feasibly, be expanded. But somehow it feels worthy of mention, given that the last few X-Men movies have relied heavily on Halle Berry’s Storm to fill the color quota from movie to movie and have cycled in a series of bit-part mutants who haven’t often survived beyond the credits.

employees would receive more money, but some will pay for it in the end because of the higher cost of workers.” UK economics professor and senior associate dean Kenneth Troske said, “Some students earning the minimum wage will get an increase in their hourly earnings, but some will lose their job or see a reduction in hours worked which will reduce their overall income.” But Troske further stated the number of students who would be negatively affected would likely be small. The council first discussed the proposed bill at its March 17 Budget, Finance & Economic Develop-
The X-Men movies are definitely not perfect. Jubilee’s character has actually been included in the first two original X-Men movies, played briefly by different actresses during the usual panning shots of generic mutant activity in Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. It looks like Jubilee’s many story arcs in the comics, though, have gone just as many weird and wacky places as the other
long-term X-Men. She’s actually a vampire now, after being de-powered and summarily sired. As a functionally immortal member of the team, this means the character could last canonically for a long time — more than enough for Condor to put her own spin on the character.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
duction. She and other students also help out with sets to earn credit for their practicums. Students in the College of Fine Arts are required to complete a practicum before they graduate, which is a minimum of 40 hours of service work in their field. Everyone
helping out with the set from Hardin to students who need hours for their practicum are working hard on the set to make sure that it tells the story along with the actual play. Although building a set for a show is no easy task, in the end it can be rewarding for those involved.
ment Committee meeting, where many people testified before the council to share their thoughts on it. Rob Ramsey, owner of Ramsey’s Diner, said he pays his servers $11.15 an hour on average, not including the tips they earn from customers, and was not worried about the minimum wage by itself. However, Ramsey worried that in the process, the tips of waiters and waitresses could be drastically affected, which could ultimately spell trouble for restaurants all over the county. There were also strong arguments in opposition to the ordinance. Councilman Ed Lane, voiced his opinion that the free market system should be allowed to dictate wages, and that the council should
avoid trying to interfere with it. This would not be the only increase in minimum wage in the country. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, six states and Washington D.C. have enacted plans for future minimum wage increases to $10 or higher. And a United States Department of Labor report shows that there are currently 26 states that have raised their minimum wage above $7.25. The Council stated that unemployment in Fayette County is currently down to 3.8 percent, which will also be an important factor for the council to consider as they study the issue further in preparation for the discussion to resume in June.
Proposed bill could expand pharmacy services What can your pharmacist do for you and why should it matter? I can help you answer those questions. On March 23, HB 377 a bill about collaborative care agreements for pharmacists was passed by the House and Senate and is now on the governor’s desk to be signed. Collaborative practice agreements are formal relationships between pharmacists and physicians or other providers that allow for expanded services the pharmacist can provide to patients and the healthcare team. These agreements define certain patient care functions that a pharmacist is independently able to provide in defined settings. This new legislation is huge for the practice of pharmacy. Pharmacists will now be able to collaborate more fully on the care of patients, which is exactly what Kentucky needs right now. According to the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky Health Care Workforce Capacity Report, in 2012, the number of full time primary care physicians needed was 3,790 across the state. 61 percent of these physician positions were in rural counties. The state of Kentucky is in desperate need of pharmacists to step up and assist physicians in providing primary care service to patients. So again we come back to the question we started with: why should this matter to me? Pharmacists hold an essential role in managing your health and there are many reasons you should start turning to your local pharmacist for care. It has been proven that when a pharmacist is added to your health care team your health care outcomes will improve. Not only can pharmacists save your life, they can save you significant health care costs as well.
There are numerous things your pharmacist can now do for you that you probably had no idea they could do before. For example, we can perform cholesterol screenings, immunizations, blood pressure and glucose screenings, and more, all in the convenience of your local pharmacy. Did you know your pharmacist is now permitted to perform your assessment when you come to your appointment, provide drug counseling and disease state referrals, order laboratory tests, and initiate, monitor and continue your drug therapies? Most people don’t and that is why I am writing today to inform you of all the opportunities your local pharmacist can bring to you. Know your medicine. Know your pharmacist.

Kelsey Nunley earned her 68th career win and her 11th of the season after she held Louisville scoreless in a 4-0 shutout on Wednesday. The 68 wins tied Chanda Bell for the school record. Nunley pitched all seven innings in the game and struck out six. “Chanda’s a great pitcher. It makes me proud to be able to do that because I know how good she was. I feel blessed to get that many wins,” Nunley said after the victory. The win against Louisville added to the occasion. love beating “I Louisville,” Nunley said. UK’s head coach Rachel Lawson was impressed with Nunley’s ability to thoroughly dominate a good Louisville team, holding it to only five hits. “I thought Nunley did a
SEC unrelenting for UK baseball team By Derek Terry sports@kykernel.com
UK baseball is learning just how much of a grind the SEC can be. The Cats defeated thenNo.1 LSU last weekend on the road and now will host the new No. 1 team in the country in Texas A&M this weekend at Cliff Hagan Stadium. Head coach Gary Henderson said his team is looking forward to the challenge of playing another highly rated team. “It’ll be another really good SEC weekend,” Henderson said. “There should be plenty of competitive baseball.” UK enters Thursday’s matchup with a 4-5 SEC record, which is good for sixth in the Eastern Division.
The Cats are just three games back from first place despite being next to last in the division. Texas A&M comes to town with an impressive 282 record overall and a 7-2 conference record, good for first place in the Western Division. “We feel pretty good about the series coming up,” sophomore outfielder Marcus Carson said. “As long as we come out focused and ready to go, we should be fine.” Carson has had the hot bat as of late and carries a three-game hitting streak into the weekend. The London, Ky., native is still fighting for playing time in what has been a solid outfield for the Cats both defensively and offensively. He started 13 games this season and appeared in 21. Carson’s bat-
ting average is up to .255 after a two-hit performance against Indiana on Tuesday, which also saw him drive in two runs. Carson said that his confidence was shaky after a slow start to the year, but advice from his coaches helped get his morale high. “Initially I did get frustrated,” Carson said. “Coach (Rick) Eckstien says to focus more on the process than the result so that helped me look at it as not really that I’m getting out or haven’t got a hit, but more of how my mechanics are and the process of being able to follow what I need to be doing.” Sophomore right-hander Zack Brown is the probable starter for UK on Thursday. He has a 2-2 record and a 2.47 earned run average through six starts this year.
Mullin introduced as St. John’s coach in raucous atmoshpere By Mark Herrmann Newsday (TNS)
Chris Mullin, all-time great and first-time coach, made a rousing return to St. John's Wednesday and vowed that St. John's will do exactly what he did: return to New York City roots. During a barn-burner of a news conference that was interrupted repeatedly by applause from hundreds of alumni and fans, Mullin said his lack of experience at the head of a bench will not hinder him. Nor will the fact recruits might know him only as a figure in video games. He will depend on the basketball knowledge he gleaned from his coach, Lou Carnesecca, who sat beside him on the dais (before and after standing ovations). And he will rely on knowledge of his old stamping ground. "I guarantee you, you'll see me at public school gyms and Catholic school gyms and AAU gyms, all over New York City," said the 51-year-old Hall of Famer from Brooklyn, who has lived in California for the past 30 years. "You don't have to tell me where they are. I've been in all of them. I know how to get in the back doors, and if not, I know the janitor, so I'm going to get there. "I think it's really important that we dominate New York," Mullin, the universi-
ty's career scoring leader said, to loud sustained cheers. To another burst of applause, he added, "If there's a good player in New York City, he needs to come to St. John's if he wants to play the best basketball." Mullin called his decision to become the school's 20th coach "an obligation." But none of his predecessors ever had a welcome like his. It was not held in a conference room, but on the floor of Carnesecca Arena, which was called Alumni Hall when Mullin spent countless hours in it, winning Big East games, perfecting his jump shot and absorbing wisdom from the only man he calls simply "Coach." Carnesecca said Gen. Dwight Eisenhower didn't get as much publicity for winning World War II as Mullin did for accepting this job. But the 90-year-old was thrilled. "Words can't describe it," he said. Carnesecca, who still attends home games and keeps in touch with his former players, particularly Mullin, handed to his protege a weathered, plastic-encased card he had been carrying since 1968, when he received it from his mentor and hero Joe Lapchick. "At Danny's Hideaway," Carnesecca said, recalling the occasion. Mullin later revealed that the card says, "Peacock today, feather duster tomorrow" as a call to
humility. He also remembered having been in that very gym as a high school freshman and hearing Carnesecca tell him, "You're going to play for me someday." Most of all, Mullin reflected on how Carnesecca taught more lessons after losses than after victories and promised that his St. John's team which now has very few players will inspire pride, "Win, lose or draw." Walter Berry, Mullin's teammate on the 1985 Final Four team, believes the former shooting guard will have no problem relating to teenage recruits. "Chris only got old in age, he didn't get old in spirit," Berry said, standing on his old home court. Mullin spoke of having conferred this past weekend with another former teammate, Mark Jackson, as well as Larry Bird and Steve Kerr about leaping into coaching's deep water. They all told him to assemble a strong staff, which he intends to do. His most serious discussions came with his wife (a St. John's alum) and their four children. They all gave their blessing. So he was on a plane Tuesday night and at a podium Wednesday, saying, "I understand the landscape has changed a little bit ... But I still think St. John's needs to be first and foremost a New York City team."
great job on the mound,” Lawson said. “Louisville’s a great hitting team and they’re good top to bottom. So for her to be able to keep them offbalance and keep them off the board was big. She’s just such a competitor. She’s tough. She puts the ball where she wants

to. She’s like an old school pitcher where she knows how to pitch the game. She thinks it through, and she has excellent command. More than anything she’s just a hard worker and that’s why she continues to win.” Nunley, however, was not the only player setting records for UK. Christian Stokes had
BREANE RAY, UK sophomore of a struggling Maryssa Becker, who gave up eight hits for Louisville. Breanne Ray had a home run along with three runs batted in, all in the sixth inning. UK has scored more runs in the sixth inning than any other inning this season. “I knew that she’d been struggling, so I knew that a good pitch had to come and I
was set on that,” Ray said. “I just loaded up and was ready to go. It felt very good coming off of my bat.” The Cats’ record is now 24-9. Though they’ve had some impressive wins this season they are still a work in progress. Last year, they made it to the College World Series. This year, they want to repeat their success going forward. “We’re just continuing to try to get better on our offensive game. That’s the biggest key for us because we have a really good defense most days.” Stokes said. Constant improvement Ray said is the key to growth. “We have our ups and our downs, but we work really hard at practice. So, I think good things are coming for us.” UK looks to keep the good things going when Alabama heads to John Cropp Stadium on Friday. The Tide is rolling after pouring in 17 runs against Mississippi Valley State on Tuesday.
