Junior forward Brittany Henderson and senior guard Keyla Snowden walk off the court after UK Hoops’ loss to Connecticut.

The Board of Trusteesapproved a yearly evaluationof President Eli Capilouto onTuesday to examine hisstrategic vision for the uni-versity.

Board Chairman BrittBrockman said it would beused to evaluate Capilouto’ssuccess.

The motion was ap-proved by 19 members.Trustee Irina Voro was theonly trustee to oppose themotion.

“We feel it’s time tochange the process of whichwe evaluate the president,”Brockman said. “The newprocess … would encompassmany more constituencygroups.”

There will be 20 to 30confidential interviews withrepresentatives from groupsincluding Student Govern-ment, University and StaffSenates, the Alumni Associa-tion, elected officials anddonors.

The interviews will beconducted by the board’s Ex-ecutive Committee, and willfocus on:• University strategy and priori-ties — Has the president ef-fectively worked with keyconstituents to identify thecurrent reality the universityfaces? Has he articulated hispriorities and explained therationale?• Leadership — How effectiveis the president in creating alearning environment thatreinforces UK’s values, andis he effectively leading theorganization in executingthese?• Organization and team — Is

the president working to de-sign an organization thatwill produce strategic andoperational execution?• Relationship with constituen-cies — Has the president es-tablished a relationship withthe Board that allows theBoard to contribute to UK’sadvancement, and has heengaged constituencies?• Financial management — Isthe president managing theinstitution’s resources whileincorporating the financialgoals?• Fundraising — Is the presi-dent committed to raisingfunds for the university, anddoes he have the skills nec-essary to succeed?• Future consideration — Hasthe president made it so theuniversity will progress inthe next year, three yearsand five years?

The evaluation should becompleted by the June Boardmeeting.

Brockman said the presi-dent’s contract provides forpotential performance bonus-es based on the results of theevaluation. However, Capi-louto said that regardless ofthe results, he would turndown any bonus, accordingto a news release.

Trustee Sheila Brotherscommended the people whoworked on the plan and saidshe thinks “it’s a wonderfulstep forward.”

Brewing own beer ‘easy and rewarding’

For most college students, theonly thing they have brewing is trou-ble, but for two UK students the onlything brewing is alcohol.

Adam Green, a marketing senior,first heard about home brewingwhile working at a restaurant in hishometown. The restaurant sold localhome brewers’ special beer recipes.

His interest in concocting hisown brew grew and ultimately ledhim to start brewing about a year agoafter receiving a kit as a gift.

“I figured, hey, I like beer and itwould probably be cheaper and kindof cool to make it on my own,”Green said.

Green brews beer while hisroommate, Christopher Martorana, acommunication and Spanish senior,brews wine.

For beginner home brewers ofbeer there are two processes: extractbrewing and all-grain brewing.

Green decided to use the extractbrewing process, saying that it iseasier for beginners and less timeconsuming.

All one has to do is heat 3 gal-lons of water to 150 degrees andsteep specialty grains for about 30minutes. Then get the water to arolling boil and put in the extract,which is fermentable sugars that theyeast eat, he said.

This creates alcohol and carbondioxide, he said.

“Once this is done, you can addthe hops and other ingredients de-pending on the type of beer you’remaking,” Green said.

It needs to cool to 70 degreesand be put it into the primary fer-menter, then have 2 gallons of waterand the yeast added, letting it sit un-til it’s matured, he said.

“The biggest thing is to pay closeattention to sanitation throughout allof these steps,” Green said.

The grain brewing process,Green said, is much more involvedand incredibly more creative.

In this process, however, thehome-brewer must boil 6 gallons of

water at once usually by using apropane heater, which can bear limi-tations to the average college stu-dent.

“Overall, for both processesthough, the ingredients manifest intodifferent flavors depending on howlong you boil them and in what com-bination,” Green said.

Concerning the length of theprocess, for Green it takes aroundthree hours to “cook” the brew.

After that, it spends a week in

the primary fermenter and is thentransferred to the secondary fer-menter, which adds extra clarity tothe beer and dries the hops for aro-ma, for another week.

Finally, the beer is bottled, whichtakes about an hour for 56 12-ouncebottles, and allowed to naturally car-bonate for two weeks.

Martorana decided to start brew-ing as well after seeing Green’s suc-cess, but chose wine instead of beer.

Baseball beats WesternEnds WKU’s four-game series win streak6 4

UK’s Final Four game Satur-day against the University ofLouisville has fans doing any-thing they can for a ticket.

One example is a UK fan oncraigslist wanting to trade ticketsfor sex with his wife, which CB-SSports.com reported Tuesday.

“She can make you speakfive languages you never knewyou could speak,” he wrote in hislisting. “Have at it and let me seemy UK Wildcats!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The fan out of Charlotte,N.C., said the reason he couldn’toffer himself is because he’s not“feeling his best,” so he has touse his “sexy mama” to get himthere.

Prostitution is illegal in NorthCarolina, as is providing trans-portation for anyone knowingthey are committing the crime.

Kentucky law states prostitu-tion is “when one engages oragrees or offers to engage in sex-ual conduct with another personin return for a fee.”

Another incident in George-town, Ky., had two dialysis pa-tients fighting over the game withmiddle fingers and strong words,WKYT reported. Police got in-volved to settle them down.

The affectionate, entertaining documentary“Carol Channing: Larger Than Life” follows anonagenarian entertainer whose name mightnot mean much to viewers under 30. With hernasal voice, saucer eyes and famously red lips,Channing found success on Broadway, first in“Gentleman Prefer Blondes” (in the role laterimmortalized by Marilyn Monroe onscreen),and then as the title character in “Hello, Dol-ly” (a part she originated in 1964 and thenplayed again in two separate Broadway re-vivals, in 1978 and 1995).

When we meet her in the film, she is stillspry and cheerful, and on her fourth marriage,this time to Harry Kullijian, a childhoodsweetheart whom she didn’t reconnect withuntil she was in her 80s. (Kullijian died of astroke last year, about seven months after thisdocumentary premiered at the Tribeca FilmFestival.)

Directed by Dori Berinstein, “Carol Chan-ning: Larger than Life” is cut from a similarcloth as 2010’s “Joan Rivers: A Piece ofWork”; they are both portraits of women forwhom performing is as natural, and as essen-tial to their survival, as breathing. This filmdoesn’t have the psychological insight and un-derlying pathos that made the Rivers doc sopowerful. Channing occasionally touches onthe dark side of the show-business life —mentioning, for instance, that she didn’t thinkshe was a very good mother to her only son,

the political cartoonist Chan Lowe — butBerinstein chooses not to dig too deeply. Thespecifics of Channing’s tempestuous, possiblyabusive third marriage, to her former publicistand manager Charles Lowe, also remain ob-scured.

But as Berinstein follows Channing frombenefit performance rehearsals to speakinggigs, and interviews friends and contempo-raries, the film becomes both an indelible timecapsule and a lovely swan song. Like DebbieReynolds, JoAnne Worley, Phyllis Diller andBetty Garrett (to name but a few of the folkswe also meet here), Channing was one of ageneration of funny, brassy women whosegolden era, on variety programs and gameshows and in Broadway revues, is now a dis-tant memory; women who wanted nothingmore (or less) than the opportunity to entertaina crowd. (Garrett also passed away shortly af-ter completing interviews for this film.)

At one point, we watch Channing in NewYork City, as she chats with a trio of chorusboys from the musical “Memphis.” Effusingover the “privilege” of being on the Broadwaystage, she goes on to say of the audience: “Weshould pay them.”

It’s a sentiment one senses the likes of An-gelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson or any other ofthis generation’s glamour girls couldn’t evenbegin to process.

UK Beyond CoalEarlier on Tuesday, UK

Beyond Coal met with theBoard finance subcommitteeto discuss incorporating solarenergy as well as signing theAmerican College and Uni-versity Presidents’ ClimateCommitment.

Elaine Alvey spoke onbehalf of the group, askingthe Board to consider makingchanges.

”I think the board wasreally open to hearing whatwe had to say,” Alvey said.She said the trustees had a lotof questions and seemed towant to be a part of the con-versation.

Patrick Johnson, anothera member of the group, alsothinks the trustees werereceptive.

In October the groupspoke in front of the Board,

asking them to consider usinggeothermal energy by lookingat Ball State University’s geot-hermal plan. The university isnow including geothermalenergy in the new HagginField dorms.

Now, the group is askingthe university to look at theUniversity of Toledo and itssolar capabilites, Johnson said.

Its members are also ask-ing the university to sign theACUPC, like other universi-

ties in the state, such as theUniversity of Louisville,Centre College and NorthernKentucky University, have.

He said the commitmentmeans the university acknowl-edges that global climatechange is real, and universitiesplay a role in it.

Johnson said the universi-ty is “entrenched in the coalindustry,” but students arestarting to see its “cozy rela-tionship” with the industry.

“I saw how much money(Green) was saving by mak-ing his own booze,” Mar-torana said. “I chose wine be-cause I didn’t want to copyhim. Plus, it makes me seemmore sophisticated.”

As for making batches ofwine, Martorana said “thebrewing process is similar inthat it takes time, patience,the appropriate ingredientsand most importantly, cleanand sanitized equipment.”

He said though it doesn’thave quite as many steps asbrewing beer, it takes aboutthree to four months to makea batch of wine.

While Green and Mar-torana brew different types ofalcohol, both use the samebasic equipment that can easi-ly be found online.

The Brewing BasicsEquipment Kit came frommidwestsupplies.com andsupplies the various fer-menters, buckets, cleansers,meters for measuring alcoholcontent and temperature, andbottling tools required tomake batches of beer or wine.

For those interested inbrewing their own beer orwine, Green and Martoranasuggest visiting homebrewtalk.com to learnmore about the processes.

Martorana said it’s aneasy process.

“The process of making it

is the best part,” Martoranasaid. He said people canmake some alcohol, just aslong as they don’t sell it with-out a license.

Green said that really any-one can brew his or her ownbeer and that “it’s easy and re-warding — especially to beable to share my creations

with my family and friends.”“I would just recommend

that people who try it don’tgive up if you think youmessed up. I thought I reallyscrewed up a batch but it end-ed up being my best one yet,”Green said. “No matter what,you will always end up withbeer.”

UK’s VIP Center will behosting its annual Take Backthe Night march and rallyWednesday night in down-town Lexington.

This year’s theme is “WeUnite. We March. We De-clare.” and centers around thecollective power of the com-munity to end violence.

Take Back the Night is along-standing tradition at UK.

This year’s march has threeseparate starting points whereparticipants can meet andmarch downtown to the rally.

Once there, the event in-cludes special speakers, livemusic, a speak-out and can-dlelight vigil.

Deej Pressley, a forestryand communication leader-ship development senior, willbe leading one of the march-es. “Take Backthe Night isan experi-ence that alls t u d e n t sshould expe-rience,” shesaid. “Thewhole eventis movingand thoughtprovoking.”

T a k eBack the Night began morethan 30 years ago as a way toprotest sexual assault.

It started in a few placesand has now spread to hun-dreds of cities, towns and col-

lege campuses around theworld.

“Take Back the Nightevents are a traditional waythat university students canprovide a venue to survivorsof sexual assault to be heardand supported by their com-munity and transform their

experience into avehicle for so-cial change sothat no oneelse need suf-fer what theyhave,” saidEileen Reck-tenwald, exec-utive directorof the Ken-tucky Associa-tion of Sexual

Assault Programs.A UK Women’s Safety

Study, conducted by the Cen-ter for Research on ViolenceAgainst Women in 2004 and2007, indicates that 1 in 3

women experienced sexual,physical or stalking victim-ization while a student at UK.

“Take Back the Night isan annual opportunity forcampus and community mem-bers to appreciate how farwe’ve come in creating safercommunities, as well as togenerate momentum to worktogether to create a violence-free campus and community,”said Melanie Matson, directorof the VIP Center.

The march begins at 7p.m. from three different lo-cations in Lexington:• Triangle Park (near Lexing-ton Center)• Third Street Stuff and Cof-fee (257 N. Limestone)• Patterson Office TowerPlaza (UK campus)

All groups will march tothe Courthouse Plaza at 7:30p.m. for the start of the TakeBack the Night rally.

onds of the half, to go into the lockerroom with a 41-39 lead over the Cats.

UConn went on an extended 21-5run mid-way through the second half,giving it firm control of the game.

The Cats were frustrated by theHuskies’ zone on the offensive end,shooting 8-for-31 (25.8 percent) fromthe field in the second half.

“That is the result of my inability tohelp our players handle big physicalzones,” Mitchell said. “Connecticutplays it better than anyone. They are sophysical and tough. Big, physical zones

have hurt us this year and that is some-thing I need to get better on in the off-season. I thought our players gave agreat effort and worked extremely hard.”

Defensively, the Cats fouled too of-ten, committing 13 fouls in the secondhalf — leading to 19-for-22 free throwshooting for UConn.

The Cats were led in scoring bysophomore Samarie Walker, whoscored 14 points and grabbed five re-bounds.

Walker also made the Kingston Re-gional All-Tournament Team.

“We’ve had an incredible season,”Walker said. “The coach never doubtedus.”

Seniors Keyla Snowden, Amber

Smith and Crystal Riley finished theircareers with the loss.

Snowden struggled from the field,connecting on 2-of-12 field goal at-tempts for seven points.

“I’m sad that we didn’t succeed inhitting our goal. I’m so proud of theteam. Just being part of Big Blue Nation— I’m just so happy about all the fansthat have supported us during the sea-son,” Snowden said. “I felt like we keptfighting until the end. We’ve accom-plished so much this year.”

Smith scored nine points, connect-ing on 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.

“I don’t feel like we should have lostthat game. We just couldn’t hit shots,”Smith said. “We lost focus.”

The fans wait outside theWildcat Lodge to get auto-graphs — and tell players tobeat Louisville.

The students approachthem on campus to take pic-tures — and tell players tobeat Louisville.

The attention UK’s play-ers receive on a normal basishas only been amplified by acertain upcoming gameagainst a certain rival.

“It’s a lot more intense,”Marquis Teague said of thefans’ fervor during the weekleading into the Final Fourgame against Louisville.

It’s been enough, attimes, to interrupt basic func-tions like eating. Doron

Lamb said he and Teaguewere out eating at IHOP afew weeks ago and, whilethey were waiting for theirfood, were subject to fanstaking pictures of them asthey conversed.

“We had to leave,” Lambsaid.

The glaring spotlight isonly heating up for the UKplayers, though, and theplayers are focused on stay-ing steady as they prepare— and then get to — NewOrleans.

“We’ve just been tryingto downplay it,” Teague said,“and take it like we normallydo.”

That might seem hard atfirst. The players have 20minutes of interviews onThursday and 30 more min-utes Friday. Stories andvideos about their champi-onship chase will saturate theInternet, and let’s face it —they are on the Internet. They

know the talk is out there,and if they didn’t, the fanswould remind them.

Then again, UK has beenat the epicenter of collegebasketball all season.

“We’ve been through itall at this point,” DariusMiller said.

Maybe not everything.The Final Four is a beastunto itself. Head coach JohnCalipari said one player cameinto his office in the days fol-lowing their Elite Eight vic-tory and said he couldn’t stopthinking about wanting towin the national title.

Wrong thought process.“You can’t think that

way,” Calipari said. “Forgetabout the title. We’ve got abasketball game to play Sat-urday. Just worry about that.”

To further combat thehype, Calipari is trying to in-sulate the team. He finishedup players’ ticket requests onSunday. He’s not letting any-one else — not friends, notfamily — stay on the samefloor as the team in the me-dia hotel. He plans on bring-ing five security people to

New Orleans.“We’re handling it like

we should be,” Calipari said.Part of that may be be-

cause UK didn’t handle itright last season. Therewasn’t anything specificCalipari could point to, buthe clearly saw somethingwrong with the Cats in theirloss to Connecticut. He saidthe players had wide eyes tostart the game and never ful-ly recovered.

“Something got us offkilter,” Calipari said.

That experience, howev-er, may help this timearound. Miller, Lamb andTerrence Jones have beenthrough the week of lead-upand should better know howto handle the attention. Andthey, Calipari said, will beentrusted with informing thefreshmen of how theyshould approach the game-inside-the-game of preparingfor Saturday.

“I’ve got to get theseguys in that frame of mind,”Calipari said, “because youjust want them letting looseand playing.”

The Cats got some time-ly hitting and relief pitchingto hold off WKU, which hadwon this matchup four yearsin a row, to improve to 25-1,5-1 in the SEC.

“I was here when we gotbeat 20-something to seven,”senior Michael Williamssaid. “I always like to put itto them, but they have agreat club and it’s an honorto beat them.”

The Hilltoppers came outhot in the first inning off ofUK freshman starter Chan-dler Shepherd. A walk to thesecond batter of the gamewas followed by a two-runhome run by WKU left field-er Ryan Hutchinson.

But with a runner on sec-ond and one out, sophomoreJ.T. Riddle made a divingcatch on a fly ball in shallowcenterfield, stood up anddoubled off the runner to get

Shepherd out of a jam.The Cats narrowed the

The basketball godshave answered Kentuckians’prayers.

By some stroke of fate,the UK Cats and theLouisville Cardinals haveboth advanced to the FinalFour and will face off inwhat some are calling thebiggest game in NCAATournament history.

As if you need to bereminded.

Campus has beenbuzzing with excitement since UK’s win overBaylor, and rightfully so. Never before and,most likely, never again, will students have theopportunity to witness a national championshiprun like this.

Although the Cats have been chosen as thefavorite in Saturday’s game, there’s no denyingthat the Cardinals are going to show up big in

New Orleans. With a rivalry as heated as ours and a nation-

al championship on the line, fierce competitionis practically guaranteed.

That being said, I want to emphasize howimportant it is for UK students, faculty and fansin general to conduct themselves appropriatelybefore, during and after Saturday’s game. Win orlose, there will be plenty of opportunity forrowdy behavior.

I encourage everyone to enjoy the contest,but I also hope that our fans will remember thatthey are representing not only UK, but the cityof Lexington and the state of Kentucky.

By now everyone has heard about thecouch-burning and breast-revealing that tookplace in Lexington following our victory on Sat-urday. There’s just something about tournamenttime that makes everyone a little bit crazy.

I can imagine that Lexington police and fire-fighters are preparing for madness of evengreater magnitude following the Final Four

game. Facebook, Twitter and other social network-

ing sites are already exploding with commentsabout the match.

I’ve learned that fans will express their lovefor the Cats in any way they can. And obviouslythere is no shortage of outlets for them to do so.Unfortunately, fun is sometimes had at theexpense of our university’s dignity.

When students behave drunkenly in thestreets and make snide marks about U of L, theymay not realize their actions reflect poorly onour school, city and state.

The media documents much of this fooleryto be shared with others and I’m sure that noteveryone is as impressed with our means of cel-ebration or comments about the upcoming gameas we are.

You may already be shaking your head anddubbing me “Negative Nancy,” but let me finish.

I was raised a die-hard UK fan and despiseU of L as much as anyone else on this campus.

On Saturday, you’ll find me making jabs at thebrave U of L fans who dare to enter Lexington,yelling at the TV screen (Calipari-style) andgoing wild somewhere on State Street after thegame.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I’mcertainly going to embrace it. However, I plan todo so respectfully. There are lines that shouldn’tbe crossed, and as college students we should bemature enough to recognize them.

I urge everyone to focus on cheering theCats to victory this weekend, rather than talkingsmack about Rick Pitino and Peyton Siva.

No matter the outcome, I know that my bas-ketball team, my university and my city aresuperior.

People love to hate UK. I’ve always chalkedit up to jealousy. Let’s give everyone one morereason to be envious: a big, humble fan base thatbeats any other in college basketball.

The 2009 Disney film“The Princess and the Frog”finished with the line,“Dreams do come true inNew Orleans.”

UK head coach JohnCalipari and company hopeto find that true.

With a victory over Bay-lor on Sunday, the Cats ad-vance to their second FinalFour in two years. Thisyear’s matchup is particular-ly notable, as UK will be go-ing up against longtimearchrival Louisville.

History will be made inthe commonwealth, but forthose of you heading downto the Big Easy, the Kernel’sgot you covered.

The GameNot much can be said

that hasn’t been said aboutthe rivalry between UK andLouisville. The deep-seatedanimosity between

these two teams will reachunprecedented levels,though, when they meet inthe Final Four.

The history between theCats and the Cardinals is aslong as it is hostile. The ri-valry was relatively dormantuntil the two teams met inthe 1983 Elite Eight of theNCAA Tournament, whichbrought a resurgence of theannual game that is playedtoday. (Louisville won that

game 80-68.) UK currently leads the

modern series 20-11.UK and Louisville will

tip off at approximately6:09 p.m. at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in NewOrleans.

Getting to New OrleansGetting to the Big Easy

may not be as easy as UK’sprevious tournament cities.

According to GoogleMaps, the trip takes approxi-mately 12 hours by car.

Travelers will take I-65south to Birmingham, Ala.,(approximately 406 miles)and I-59 south to New Or-leans (approximately 344miles).

Fans should plan onleaving Friday afternoon atthe latest, if driving.

The average cost ofgasoline in the southeast iscurrently $3.81, according toAAA.

Round trip, the cost ofgasoline for an average

sedan will beabout $236.Traveling inan SUV willraise fuelcosts to about$405.

Currently,hotwire.com

places ar o u n d - t r i p

flight from Lexington to New Orleansand back at $1,450.

Fans able to do so canfly out of Louisville and re-turn through Southwest Air-lines for less than $1,000,depending on departure andarrival times.

Stuff To DoFans confident enough to

buy ticket packages for theFinal Four and champi-onship game will have plen-ty to do in the downtime be-tween basketball.

The National World War IIMuseum is located on the cor-ner of Andrew Higgins Boule-vard and Magazine Street.

The Higgins boat, invent-ed by Andrew Higgins andmade famous duringthe D-Daylandings, wasinvent-e di n

New Orleans, so thecity was made thehome of the nationalmuseum.

The mission ofthe museum, whichis affiliated with theSmithsonian, is to“tell the story ofthe Americanexper ience ,”according toits website.

The muse-um goes inc h r o n o -log ica lorder,a n d

speciale x h i b i t s

include a fo-cus on the Nor-

mandy invasionand a 4-D movie

experience called“Beyond All Bound-

aries,” narrated by TomHanks.

The museum is open9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day.Its website recommends

that visitors allot two tothree hours to tour thegalleries. Students can

pay $9 to tour themuseum or pay$12 for the mu-seum and the 4-D movie.

The FrenchQuarter, New Orleans’

historic district, is also hometo some of the liveliest enter-tainment in the Crescent City.

Attractions includeSaint Louis Cathedral andthe many bars and restau-rants of Bourbon Street andJackson Square. Be sure tostop by Cafe du Monde fora world-famous beignet(and, unlike many world-fa-

mous claims, these are actu-ally world-famous).

According to the New Or-leans Code of Ordinances,drinking out of open contain-ers is legal in the French Quar-ter (one of thefew placesin theU . S .

where this is allowed). Thatsaid, be responsible and enjoy.

Hanging out with the CatsWhile there is no official

alumni chapter in New Or-leans, the UK Alumni Associ-ation will be celebrating the

Final Four with an offi-cial Pregame Party.

The event willinclude a New Or-leans-style buffet,

live music andUK give-

aways. It willtake place at

the Sheraton at500 Canal St. in the

French Quarter (acrossthe street from the official

team hotel).

The cost to attend is $30for members of the AlumniAssociation and $35 for non-members who preregister. Acertain amount of walk-upsmay be admitted for $40,space permitting.

Those interested in at-tending can visit the websiteebsportstours.com/teams/fi-nalfour.html or call the UKAlumni Association at 859-257-7161.

Disney’s “The Princessand the Frog,” encouragesviewers through song to“grab your paintbrush, we’repaintin’ the town.”

UK fans are happy to doso, though they will only bebringing one color.

See you in Blue Orleans.
