The Kentucky Kernel has named a neweditor-in-chief for the 2012-13 school year.

Journalism sophomore Becca Clemonswas chosen by Kernel Press Inc., the non-profit board that selects the editor, to leadnext year’s staff.

“She has a tremendous passion for not onlyjournalism, but the Kentucky Kernel,” DuaneBonifer, chairman of Kernel Press Inc., said.

Clemons is a current managing editor forthe Kernel and was the only candidate for theposition. The board, which consists of Kernelalumni, the current editor and student adver-tising manager, UK journalism professors andother members of the journalism community,interviewed Clemons on Thursday.

Bonifer said he thinks Clemons will carryon the the “great tradition” of the Kernel andthe “outstanding work” that current Editor-in-Chief Taylor Moak has done.

“We couldn’t have accomplished half ofwhat we’ve done this year without Becca’shelp,” Moak said.

She said Clemons has been her “right-hand man” in making decisions and hashelped keep the overall vision of the Kernelin mind.

Bonifer said the focus of many of thequestions was the future of journalism andwhere Clemons sees the Kernel in five years.

“We want the editor to be thinking abouthow the Kernel needs to evolve,” Bonifersaid. “Think about being proactive, ratherthan reactive.”

Clemons wants to make the Kernel moreof a presence on campus.

“I really want the university to know whoour editors are, and I want us to be approach-able,” she said.

She said she wants to reach out to stu-dents for input.

“We need to put more focus on long-term,investigative pieces about issues that matter tostudents. And to find out what matters, I wantto get the conversation going with everyoneon campus,” Clemons said.

Bonifer is looking forward to seeing thattype of innovation from Clemons, he said.

“Becca is just the latest in a great line ofeditors,” he said.

Interviews for next year’s Kernel staffwill be announced in the coming weeks.Clemons encourages anyone interested in theKernel to look for postings about positions orto contact her at bclemons@kykernel.com.

“The Kernel is a huge part of campus andI am really excited to be leading it,” she said.“We are the only media outlet that reports in-depth on all aspects of campus and reports onall the issues that matter to students on cam-pus and beyond.”

UK’s Jarrod Polson, sophomore guardfor the men’s basketball team, was named

one of the 24 “HottestGuys of March Madness2012” by Cosmopolitanmagazine.

Yes, he may not get toplay a lot, but accordingto Cosmo, that doesn’t

matter when judginglooks.

“I had no idea whatCosmopolitan magazine was before being init. I found out about the list from one of myfriends tweeting me about it,” Polson said.

He said that when he found out about be-ing on the list, he just laughed and didn’t re-ally think much of it.

Some of the other basketball playersknew he made the list. His teammates whoknew gave him a hard time and joked around

about it with him, he said.In response to whom Polson thinks he

got his good looks from, he said, “Most peo-ple say I look like my dad the most, so I’mgoing to have to say I look like my dad.”

What is it about Polson that women can’tget enough of?

“His smile and how humble he is withall the fame that the team is getting,” fresh-man Kayla Dunbar said. “It’s a good thingthat he is in the magazine, and I completelyagree.”

Polson remarks on how he has stayedhumble and grounded.

“I remember where I came from andhow I was raised,” Polson said.

Though he was rated in the magazine,Polson said he doesn’t receive that much at-tention.

“Girls don’t really react much,” Polsonadded. “They are pretty cool about it for themost part. People on campus sometimes actnicer and are friendlier when they find outwho I am.”

Fashion show will be a colorful affair

The Merchandising, Apparel and Tex-tiles Club with the Hospitality Manage-ment Association is presenting “Color MeSpring - An After Hours Fashion Affair,” afashion show, Friday.

The show begins at 6 p.m. with a silentauction and hors d’oeuvres, followed bythe fashion show at 7 p.m.

The silent auction consists of donationsfrom hair salons, clothing retailers and tan-ning stores.

Aubrey Garrity, a merchandising, ap-parel and textiles sophomore, as well asthe historian of MAT Club, said she was incharge of getting donations for the silentauction and getting the club’s board to ad-vertise for the fashion show.

“I am most excited about seeing it allcome together and seeing all the differentlooks from all the boutiques around Lex-ington,” Garrity said.

The fashion show will consist of thisseason’s upcoming spring clothes fromboutiques around Lexington, such as Bella

Rose, Bluetique and aJ’s Casuals.Katie Buckley, a merchandising, appar-

el and textiles sophomore, said she expectsto see “bright colors from this year’s fash-ion show.”

Buckley said she’s excited to seeeveryone walk down the runway.

The money raised in the show goes to-ward trips for students in the fields of hos-pitality management and merchandising,apparel and textiles.

Students travel to places such as NewYork and Atlanta where they gain knowl-edge in the hospitality and retailing indus-try and pursue future careers and intern-ship opportunities.

Caroline Ecklin, an equine sciencemanagement sophomore, plans to attendthe fashion show Friday.

“I expect to see high-wasted shorts,bandeaus and lots of bright color,” Ecklinsaid.

Admission is $20 for the public and$10 for students. It will be held at the E. S.Good Barn at 1451 University Drive.

Aaron Smith: What was your (andIndiana’s) reaction when the bracketscame out and you saw UK as a possibleSweet 16 matchup? Didn’t it feel like itjust HAD to happen?

Avi Zaleon, Indiana Daily Studentbasketball columnist: When the word“Indiana” appeared on a projectionscreen at the IU watch party, I honestlythink the initial reaction was just relief.Sure, it was a certainty that theHoosiers would be going dancing aftertheir regular season resume, but I thinkthat moment was realization for every-one involved in this program that a ma-jor step had been taken.

Once that seven-letter state to thenorth of your campus emerged, it didn’ttake long for eyeballs to shift up andsee Big Blue waiting as a potentialSweet 16 matchup. Sure, my initial re-action was that this just had to happenas a matter of writing the next chapterin this rivalry’s ongoing saga. However,although it makes for a good story, Idon’t buy into the idea that the NCAASelection Committee paired the twoteams in the same bracket solely be-cause of the storyline — it just hap-pened to turn out that way.

As far as the team goes, I think, atthe time, their focus wasn’t on theWildcats. Before the Hoosiers wouldeven have the opportunity to startRound 2 with UK, they had to first de-feat New Mexico State and then VCUor Wichita State –wins they knewwould not come easy.

The truth is, a lot has been madeover the past week about the mental as-pect of this game. A lot of time hasbeen spent trying to get inside the headsof these players and determining whatthat can tell us about who will win thegame. Granted, there is certainly agame within a game when you talkabout the mental and emotional aspect,but I think speculating about how thesestudent-athletes feel is a useless endeav-or. Sure, we listen to the interviews andread the quotes, but at the end of theday, we have little idea how this willtranslate onto the court.

Aaron: I wonder if it’s much morefun to get inside the minds of Ken-

tucky’s players rather than Indiana’splayers — you know, the “revenge” an-gle and all that. And the Wildcats havebeen talking about that ESPN commer-cial of Christian Watford’s shot long be-fore a rematch with Indiana was ever apossibility.

But I think you’re right. The mentalaspect is probably overstated, especiallywhen it’s such an easy component to fo-cus on for a game like this. As you said,how much of it transfers to the court isa relative unknown. So, what about theactual game on that court? How has In-diana changed since that Dec. 10 upset,and how do you envision this game un-folding?

Avi: Well let’s get the “obvious” outof the way first, no Verdell Jones III. Thesenior point guard went down with a tornACL against Penn State in the first roundof the Big Ten Tournament. So what didIU lose? In Jones, the Hoosiers had asenior leader on the court, a reliable ball-handler and first guard off the bench.With Jones gone, freshman guard RemyAbell has had to step up in the reserveguard role, playing 15, 17 and 16 minutesin each of the three games since Jones’injury. Abell, a Louisville native who isthe first player from Kentucky to score apoint for IU in more than 65 years,played a total of just 14 minutes com-bined in the previous four games leadingup to that point. He is not a big scoringthreat, but Abell plays the role IU needs,namely a guard who doesn’t turn the ballover — he has committed a total of threeturnovers in the past three games.

Outside of Jones’ injury, I think thisteam has matured by learning to adaptto different teams and different gameplans. Generally speaking, they can winin different ways. Earlier in the season,I felt like the Hoosiers were too relianton their 3-point shot, getting to the freethrow line and scoring at least 70 points— entering Saturday’s matchup withVCU, IU had never won a game inwhich it did not score more than 69points. Granted, these factors will helpany team win, but I just thought theHoosiers lived and died by them. Butagainst Shaka Smart and the Rams, IUhit six triples, made just nine free

throws, scored its lowest point totalsince Feb. 1 in a loss against Michiganand still somehow edged out a win.

The Hoosiers have a “pick your poi-son” advantage as well. Against NewMexico State in the Big Dance’s open-ing round, junior guard Jordan Hullsscored 22 points. The next round, Hullshad one of the worst games of his ca-reer, but it was Christian Watford whocarried the load against VCU, scoring16 points, including 4-of-5 from beyondthe arc. Zeller, the co-Big Ten Freshmanof the Year, will get his points, but it’sthat second and third scorer who is key.

As far as the actual game goes, it’stough to predict. Kentucky has morelength, talent and a fan base at home thatwon’t settle for anything less than a na-tional title. But the ghosts of Duke andMissouri loom large over this year’s fieldand there’s no telling when the next non-sensical upset will strike. Any given teamcan go down on any given day.

I think Kentucky will win by eight.The game is not in Assembly Hall.While IU has improved, so have theCats and Kentucky’s talent is just toomuch for the Hoosiers. Anthony Davishas done a better job of not getting intofoul trouble since the loss in Blooming-ton (it was the last time he reached fourfouls), but at the same time, has neverfaced a big man as good as Cody Zellersince then. Transition points will behuge. The Wildcats are not going toshoot the three-ball against IU as wellas they did against Iowa State. I thinkthe Hoosiers will play in zone and forceUK to shoot it from beyond the arc. Ifthat’s the case, easy fast break bucketscould give Cal’s Cats the edge if IUcommits too many turnovers — theHoosiers had 22 against VCU’s “HAV-OC” defense. As far as individualmatchups go, I’m most interested to seehow IU handles Marquis Teague. Thefreshman guard from Indianapolis hasreally stepped up his game in the BigDance and if he gets hot, we could seean array of defenders used to limit him.I’d expect IU coach Tom Crean will ini-tially use guard Victor Oladipo, but thatassignment could go to anybody fromAbell to Watford.

A Q-and-A with an Indiana columnistView from the other side

Big Blue Nation is anticipating the game against Indi-ana as a step closer to an eighth championship title. Butwhat about the students who won’t be bleeding blue — oreven watching?

Kevin Fletcher, a freshman from Cincinnati, doesn’tcare for basketball.

“I think it’s a little ridiculous how much tickets areand how hyped up people get for it,” Fletcher said.

When he came to UK, Fletcher said he was annoyedwhen he saw the tents of people waiting for practice gametickets.

“I would never do that,” he said.For those who aren’t passionate UK fans, basketball

games mean deserted businesses and heavy traffic.“I try to take advantage by seeing a movie or go to the

mall if I need something. It’s more empty,” Fletcher said.He said if he hears about a game, he will wait for fans toleave before he heads out.

“It’s ironic because I’m wearing a Kentucky basketballshirt right now,” Fletcher said, looking down. “I prettymuch didn’t realize it until now. Why I’m wearing it is amix of being a UK student and because it was the onlyclean shirt.”

Steven Walker, a materials engineering freshman, alsoavoids UK basketball events.

However, he does watch basketball — as a Universityof Louisville fan.

Walker said he stays away from celebrations.“But everywhere around here’s desolate when there’s a

game — it’s pretty great,” Walker said. “I also take advan-tage of no traffic when I drive back home.”

He said one time he made the mistake of driving inpost-game traffic.

“The hype gets to ridiculous levels, but it’s in goodfun,” Walker said. “Except last year’s burning the coucheswas a bit excessive. I wouldn’t burn couches for U of L.”

But though some students on campus aren’t huge UKfans, some are on their way there.

Gaines Brown, a business and finance freshman, be-lieves those who aren’t into basketball just haven’t experi-enced it.

“Basketball is pretty much everywhere in Lexington,”Brown said. “The city probably would shut down if wewon the championship. People would probably call out ofwork and probably lose money.”

Behind enemy lines A look at the other team’s likely starting lineup

IndianaBig Ten27-8Head coach: Tom Crean

UK baseball head coach Gary Henderson knew

his team would improve this season. Depth and

bullpen play — issues on last year’s team — are

two areas in which he has seen drastic improve-

ment.

However, this season’s historically fast start

can largely be attributed to the team’s play on of-

fense.

Junior catcher Luke Maile has made the

biggest turnaround of any. In 50 starts last season,

he hit .282 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs. In

22 starts already this season, Maile is hitting .385

with six homers and a team-high 29 RBIs, good

for eighth nationally.

“My first two years here all I did was get out,”

Maile said, laughing. “It’s a tough game and some-

times it goes well for you like it is right now. It

says a lot about who you are when you can put a

couple hits together and have good at-bats when

it’s a tough go at the plate.”

One of the concerning players thus far for

Henderson has been senior third baseman Thomas

McCarthy. After hitting .371 last season, McCarthy

became the first UK player since 1972 to earn

first-team SEC honors. But in the first 21 games of

this season, he was hitting .240.

“It’s just the way the game goes sometimes,”

Henderson said. “Guys can hit the ball hard and it

gets caught. The game will turn for you. He’s a

very good hitter and he’ll get his hits.”

Wednesday against Cincinnati, he got back on

track. McCarthy had a career-high four hits and

two RBI to help the Cats secure their 22nd consec-

utive win.

“Obviously four hits is a lot better than the

zero or one I’ve been putting up lately,” McCarthy

said. “I just felt a lot more comfortable in the box.

I worked the count a little bit, saw some pitches

and tried to stay in the middle of the field.”

It has been a collective effort, though. The Cats

(22-0, 3-0 SEC) have five players hitting above

.370, two of which are freshmen Austin Cousino

and A.J. Reed. Nationally, UK is 11th in total bat-

ting average, boasting a team average of .332. It is

also fifth nationally in runs scored and sixth in

slugging percentage.

UK will look to tie the SEC win streak record

Friday night at Tennessee in the first of a three-

game series. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

UK is one win from being three wins away

from the ultimate goal.

A Sweet 16 rematch with Indiana highlights

the weekend slate of NCAA Tournament games.

It’s one of the best possible Sweet 16 games UK

could have drawn, in terms of creating excite-

ment.

Except John Calipari wants

his team focused on itself, not

the Hoosier faces that, last time

they met, ended in giddy cele-

bration at Assembly Hall.

“They want to get out

ahead of this, having to play

Indiana,” Calipari said in an

NCAA release. “I’m telling our

team, forget about this tourna-

ment. Just play basketball.”

Calipari has been reiterat-

ing that message the entire

year. With the burden of elevated

national championship expectations hanging on

this UK team since the beginning of the season,

the players have been combating that feeling

since the start.

“I think the main point is we have a lot of

fun with everything we do,” Darius Miller said.

“You see us laughing and smiling on the court,

clapping, and you see all the emotion we leave

on the court. I think that’s one of the main differ-

ences (with this year compared to the previous

two). Not — I don’t want to say differences, but

it’s kind of emphasized this year on how much

we do those things.”

Can that difference be part of the results turn-

ing out differently, as well? Can UK continue the

progress toward winning a national title, from

Elite Eight to Final Four to … well, Calipari

doesn’t want to think that far ahead.

Instead, the focus is on Indiana.

The Hoosiers are led by Cody Zeller, a talent-

ed freshman post player in his own right. He

leads the team with 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds

per game, and shoots 62.2 percent.

His production reads like a lesser version of

Anthony Davis, who leads his team with 14.3

points and 10.1 rebounds (oh, and those 4.6

blocks) per game, and shoots 63.6 percent.

“Just can’t wait to go out there and see what

happens,” Davis said of the matchup. “We’re

both great players, and we both work hard. Let’s

just go out there and have fun.”

One of the most important parts of this game

will be Davis avoiding foul trouble. He must be

in the game to change the game, and he usually

does. He hasn’t picked up four fouls since Dec.

10 — which was, of course, the Indiana game.

He was limited to 24 minutes in that game, a

number that, if increased, could make all the dif-

ference.

Calipari said he’s been stressing to his team

not to foul. With a short rotation, giving up two

points is a minor setback compared to losing one

of his six best players for an extended stretch of

an NCAA Tournament game.

“It’s not football,” Calipari said. “We’ll score

seven seconds later. If you broke down, let him

score. Don’t foul. I just say it over and over.”

At this point, the storylines (re-

venge!) are done. It’s time for the

game. One win to be three wins

away from the ultimate goal.

“The only promise we can

make to any of our fans,” Calipari

said, “is we’re going to do our

best.”

UK fans, conversely, hope —

expect? — their best is good

enough to win it all.

3 things to watch forin UK-Indiana game

1. Who else emerges? — At this point, it seems that Terrence Jones and

Anthony Davis are locks to perform well. Jones is averaging double-double

numbers in the postseason and Davis is, well, Davis.

So who else, and how many, of UK’s team turns in a solid game against

the Hoosiers?

Marquis Teague is coming off a career game against Iowa State. He

played terrific against Indiana in the second half of the teams’ first meeting.

He’s been considered the key to making the Cats a dominant team, and anoth-

er strong showing would mean a lot going forward.

On Thursday, Teague talked about how he has matured as a floor leader

since the first time he played his home-state school.

“Back then I was just attacking the rim more and making plays for my-

self,” Teague said, according to an NCAA release, “and not as much for my

teammates.”

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been in a late-season offensive swoon — al-

timeout sports

though, save for one SEC Tournament game,

he still contributes his usual defense and re-

bounding — and could be ready to break

out. He had 18 points that first game against

Indiana. If he has a big game, it could be be-

cause he hits shots. Calipari expects Indiana

to back off him on the perimeter, which

means open looks will be available. He just

has to make them. Despite — or maybe be-

cause — of his recent shooting struggles,

Calipari said he was watching TV two nights

ago and Kidd-Gilchrist popped into his mind.

“I want to let you know how much I love

coaching you,” Calipari said.

Darius Miller has also turned in strong

showings since breaking out of his scoreless-

in-two-games slump in the SEC Tournament.

He played with more intensity than I’ve seen

all year at the start of the Iowa State game.

The senior could be making the most of his

last chance to win the title when it matters

most.

2. How UK defends — Indiana has the

fourth-most efficient offense in the nation,

according to KenPom.com. It has the second-

best 3-point percentage in the nation and

both gets to the free throw line and makes

the shots.

The Cats are coming off a great defen-

sive game against Iowa State, which also

had a solid interior player surrounded by

talented shooters. The Cats will likely de-

pend on its big men to handle the Hoosiers

inside by themselves and stay out of foul

trouble. UK’s defense has been its calling

card this season. Another solid game on

that side of the court could propel the Cats

to the Elite Eight.

3. Here’s what went right on Dec. 10for the Hoosiers: They were playing in

an unbelievable atmosphere on their home

court, they shot more than 30 percentage

points better than the Cats from 3-point

range, they got Anthony Davis in foul trou-

ble for really the only time this season, they

forced 17 turnovers, they benefited from

two UK free-throw misses in the final

minute — and they won by a point. One

point.

Can Indiana win? Sure. As Calipari said

Tuesday, they already have. But a similar

confluence of factors would have to occur

for a repeat result in the Sweet 16. And I

don’t see that happening.

THINGS From Page 7

from Atlanta, said he has

become a big fan now that

he attends UK.

Grimes said he saw how

much pride people in Lex-

ington have toward the

sport.

“People here just try to

be expressive,” Grimes said.

He said since the state does-

n’t have a professional

team, there is an emphasis

on celebrating.

“The atmosphere makes

it fun and more interesting

because people are so pas-

sionate.”

Grimes is usually at the

games, so the empty restau-

rants and mall doesn’t affect

him.

“Atlanta wasn’t like that

because they have a pro

team, so there’s not as

much hype on college

teams,” he said.

Grimes believes UK stu-

dents should be UK fans —

and especially not U of L

fans.

“I believe the people

who wear U of L shirts

around campus are jealous

their team’s not as good as

UK,” he said. “They should

be wearing blue, not red.

Water always puts out fire.”

Grimes admitted he

once lost a bet and had to

wear a U of L shirt on cam-

pus for a day and have his

photo taken.

When asked if he would

be caught dead in that U of

L shirt again, Grimes

replied, “probably cutting

grass or something. Or

cleaning gutters.”

Meagen Corley, a jour-

nalism freshman, wasn’t

raised around basketball,

but is on her way to becom-

ing a huge UK fan.

“I was deprived,” she

said, “but I’m learning more

about basketball and be-

coming more and more of a

fan each day because I’m

around it every day, and all

my friends are huge fans.”

She said that even on

spring break, people often

did the C-A-T-S cheer.

“You can’t get away

from it,” Corley said.

“There’s nothing like a

Wildcat fan.”

FANS From Page 5

You can be forgiven for puzzling overthe first 30 minutes of “People v. The Stateof Illusion.” An odd blend of documentary,drama and motivational speech, the ques-tion “What are they trying to sell me here?”leaps to mind more than once.

It’s a self-help movie, sort of a self-ac-tualization project built around changingour way of perceiving ourselves. Think of itas a “What the Bleep Do We Know?” thatgoes lighter on the messy metaphysics, aBilly Graham docudrama that doesn’t endwith an altar call.

Lawyer/ motivational speaker/ yoga in-structor Austin Vickers made this, and nar-rates, infomercial style, interjecting histhoughts on both the melodrama used as anobject lesson in the movie’s message andthe thoughts of the lineup of experts, manyof them authors dominating the fuzzy logicside of the self-help best seller lists — “TheMolecules of Emotion,” “Evolve YourBrain” and the like.

Vickers uses the story of “AaronRoberts” (actor J.D. Tuttle) as his teachingtool here, a recreation of a DUI accidentthat killed someone and Roberts’ slow,

prison-driven acceptance of responsibilityfor that accident thanks to a Gandhi-quotingjanitor (Michael McCormick) who stops byhis cell. Those sequences are feebly writtenand poorly integrated into the whole.

Authors and psychologists give testimo-ny about how changing the reality, the wayyou see the world, will set you free andmake you accept the things that are part ofyour lot in life. You’ll stop blaming othersand break down the “literal and figurativeprison walls” of your life, Vickers & Co.preach.

It’s a squishy subject to try and get yourmind around, much less convey in a movie.But with every cadenza in its laughablyover-dramatic score, every confident, self-satisfied appearance by Vickers, “People v.The State of Illusion” attempts to convinceus and convince itself that it is actually say-ing something. At least it pays lip service topersonal accountability, to how stress im-pacts everything from health to marriage.

But as we wander from here to there,it’s hard to fight off the sneaking suspicionthere’s no “there” there.

‘People v. The State of Illusion’has some identity crises
